WASHINGTON, February 1. SEXATE.-Senator Seward made conciliatory speech yesterday He expressed the belief that secession and revolution on one side and coercion and defiance on the other, will all pass away in ninety days. He sad the Union can be sustained, tAougn war might come as last alternative.
 Mason, ot Virginia, denounced Seward speech as war speech
 Seward denied the legitimacy of such q con- struction.
 Douglas said that he was pained to see that when Cameron, of Pennsy ylvania, made great ad- vances toward equalization, Mason repelled him. Hale and Wigfall took part in the debate. The former believed the South would, and the latter that the South would not come back into the Union.
 Ten Eyck presented joint resolution passed by the New Jersey legislature, expressing will ingness to accept Senator Crittenden's resolution as compromise, advising convention of States, and the appointment of commissioners to meet those from other States.
 Latham, of California, made Union speech, in which he said his State would fight for the Union but the Californians would not imbrue their hands in the blood of Southerners, unless Seward would show them how, by such means, the liberty, fra ternity and equality of the South in the Union could be maintained.
 The Senate then voted an adjournment. HoUsE.-Sherman, from the committee on ways and means, reported bill authorizing the Pres, ident to borrow twenty-five millions of dollars before July, 1862, to redeem Treaury notes, etc
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. Hon. John Slidell' of Louisiana yesterday sent to the clerk the ordinance of secession recently passed by the Louisiana State Convention, to b( read. He said a new confederacy would recog nize the obligations of all existing relations especially those relating to the African slave trade. In referring to the blockade of Southern ports, he said the South would permit no inter ruption to commerce, and thought foreign nation: would interfere if not admitted. He said tho South would not commence the fight.
 Senator Benjamin argued against the assertion that Louisiana could not go out of the Union be cause she was bought the property of the United States. He claimed that she had specia

TIE Washington correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch, in alluson to the posi- tion of affairs in Virginia, says:
 Another lettler from the University of Vir- ginia says that everybody there is for straight out secession, and that Prof. Holcombc will be elected to the Convention. The writer adds: "The enloges on the Union of the submissionists are but empty praises lavished on q corpse. 1 am emphatically opposed to any disgraceful compromise, or patched-up peace. 1 think the border State have diserac- ed themselves already. Compromises should come from the North, for they are the aggres- sors. As much as revere the memory of the revolutionary heroes, and though know civil war is to be deprecated on many ac- counts, yet, rather than see Virginia a suitor for tavors at the hands of the North, I would prefer to see blood flow like the cataract of Niagara, and Chaos reign supreme over this once Happy and prosperous country" God bless the boy he talks like a book; yea, like an entire library of the most plucky and pugnacious volumes. His is the spirit which should animate young Virginia.

 January 3l, 1861. ]
 We, the undersigned passengers on this steamer, during her trip from Memphis up to her White River destination, last week, having seen q card from the passengers on board the steamer Admiral in your last issue, in which it is stated that the last named boat proved herself a faster craft than the Golden State, on trial race be- tween them, at the time when we were present, and on account of which the Admiral claims the buck-horns from Capt. Kings boat, take occa- sion to say here that while we believe the passen- gers on Capt Thomasson's boat think there was q rqce and that their favorite showed superiority over the Golden State i'll swftness we know the boat upon which we travelling did not at tempt to run by the Admiral in a race, because her commander requested by the ladies aboard not to do so, which he most respcc fully yielded by having the hues opened and the steam let off, and allowing the Admiral to pass
 Please allow us to express sincere thanks and kind regards to Capt. King, the gentlemanly Capt Russell in the office. and other officers, for the pleasant and safe trip, and we, without hesi- tation, recommend the Golden State to the people of White river as the safest and most reliable boat in the line; her officers ever ready, with good accommodations, to add to tue pleasure and comfort of all aboard:

DESPERATE AFFRAY IN MARION

DESPERATE AFFRAY IN MARION, ARKAE- sAs.-We learn that few days since des- perate affray occurred at horse race in Marion, Arkansas, growing out of disagree ment regarding some bets, between party of residents of that vicinity. Unable to settle their dsagreements regarding the betting, a quarrel ensued, after which firearms were drawn and used, and no less than five persons were wounded. Mr. Graham, farmer, was shot by Mir Higgs, who is brother, we are informed, of the lawyer of that name. Ora hams son, boy nine years of age, then undertook to avenge his father, and shot Higgs, wounding him in the arm Higgs next fired at the boy, and wounded him So seriously that his recovery is doubtful A son of William Ticer, boy twelve or fourteen years of age, was badly wounded by shot William Gettling is in jail for being concern ed in the shooting; the remainder of the par. ties actually engaged Give personsl are con fined to their beds; three of them are seri ousy wounded, but fair expectations of the recovery of all them, except the child Ora ham, exist.

A NEW ENGINE OF WAE,-It is related that among the preparations for repelIing the threatened attack on the Brooklyn nayy-yard were twelve large steam boilers, with which were connected a number of powerful pumps and fire engines, well-suppied with India rub Der hose, to lead to any or all parts of the yard. Steam being constantly on, the pumps and engines were always ready to throw terri be streams of scalding water over an invad- ing force This powerful weapon of defense not heretofore known in warfare is proposed by AIr. King to be applied to all Qualifications and steamships of war, so that taking by storm or boarding would be impossible.
