SENATOR nlCE,s PLAN.

Senator Rice, has presented to the
Committee Of Thirteen, his plan of
settlement. The New York IisraM
says that It meets the approval of a
large number Of Senators and Repre-
aen.atives. 1t is as follows: -a1-
WHEREAS, the territories of the
United States, and tho question Of the
admission of the new States into the
Union, have caused most not all the
agitation upon the question Of slavery;
and whereas, it is desirable that
question should be forever abolished
from the halls of Congress, and that it
should cease to- Be q political element
among the people; therefore,
RESOLVED, That all the territory
lying north Of SO deg. 80 miin., should
be at once admitted into the Union
rs State, npnn an equal footing With
the original states, and called the
State Of Washington; and that all the
territory south Of SO deg. 80 min,
should be admitted ~ state upon
an equal footing with the original
states, and toybe called tho State of
Jefferson, and in eacl, case provisions
should be made that whenever any
portion Of said states shall contain
within an area Of not less than sixty
thousand square miles one hundred and
thirty Thousand inhabitants. a new state
may be formed and admitted into the
Union, with such boundaries rs Con.
gress may prescribe. And to carry
she provisions OF this resolutions into
eject, all acts organizing territorial
governments should be repealed. to
to take effect on the; and also
an appropriation should lie made to
dotray the expenses ofthe conventions
VI the said States, and that Congress
should provide for tho legislative and
1ndicial expenses of each State when
formed under proper limitations. ~
Our worthy Senator suggest, a very
feasible plan for the settlement of GU,
difficulties and we are glad to. learn
that it is gaining favor. Mr.. Rice is
earnestly attached to the Union and il,
this, reflects the sentiments of his con.
'tituent'. The people Of Minnesota
will endorse any fair compromise, and
it would crafty them to know. that
their Senator inaugnratsd successful
plan for the settlement of this national
disqoiet. We urge upon Congress to
give the people of the Union chance
to vote upon some mode Of settlement
snd let us learn, if the people arc III
fact opposed to = continuance of the
Union. Politicians will then find on,
how much the masses arc attached &c

WAsu1SGToN, JAM 3-Intelligence was
received last night that Fort Sumpter is
now besieged; that all of Major ,Anderson,s
communications are cut off;that Fort Moul-
trie has been completely repaired and the
guns rsmounted; and that everything is
in readiness to open fire on Major Ander-
son. New batteries are being erected
around him by the secessionists, and every
day the danger and difficulty of reinforcing
him are increased. His frequent applica-
cations for rsiniorcements, and even the
tears and prayers Of his wife having failed to
move the President, he has determined
never again to renew his request, but will
perish if he must, in the Fort. His men
have bound themselves by an oath to stand

IMpoRrASr IMPROVEMENT IN 1'uo.
roGnArnY.---The French Photo
graphers have succeeded in effecting
an important anclioration in the ar, OF
obtaining fac SMILES of old manu-.
script; recent improvements in photo.
graphic art enabling them to produce
perfectly distinct and lcgiblc copies of
the palest and most illegiblc manu-.
scripts. On old parchmcnts, the ink,
under the influence Of time, assumes q
ycllowish tint which often becomes
undistinguishable from that Of. parch.
mcnt, SO that it cannot be read without
the greatest difficulty. Now, during
the Photographic process the brilliant
and polished parts reflect. light
much better than those where the ink
has been deposited. However, color
less it may appear, the ink l1as not
not lost its anti-photogsnic qualities,
opposed to the photogenic ones Of
oftha parchment; and, thanks to this
opposition, black characters may be
obtained, on the sensitive surface, in
return Tor much paler ones on the
original. Photographers are also able
TO- obtain, at pleasure, enlarged and
diminished copies of manuscripts
