Kearney, Feb 10th
The Pacific Railroad Bill has been under con-
sderation Of the House. Some amendments of
the Senate have been stricken out but no definite
action has yet been taken on the bill.
The votes for President and Vice President
were counted and the result announced, without
any excitement
| The Navy Bill has passed the Senate.
| The Investigating Committee on the seizure of
the Capital, report that they were unable to dis
cover any secret organization to seize Washing
ton
Nothing has yet been done in Congress towards
n compromise. 1t is thought that the vote in the
Committee of Thirty Three will not be pressed
before action is taken by the Peace Congress.
Congress is still at work in committee on a
plan submitted by Guthrie, of Kentucky. 1t is
substantially that of the Kentucky Legislature
or the Crittenden Compromise, but without a
clause relative to the territory hereafter acquired
1t has been adopted No territory shall be here
after acquired without the approval oil three-
fourths of the Senate.
The only obstacle in the Peace convention is
said to be the territorial question.
| The progress of the President elect from In
danapolis to Pitsburg has been an ovotion. Mr.
| Lincoln made several speeches along the route
He expressed his confidence in final settlement
of all difficulties, for thus far nobody had been
hurt. lie said that his policy must be regulated
by ever changing circumstances. lie declines to
indicate what il will be in reference to the tariff
lie said that he must adhere to the Chicago plat
form on that and all other subjects. Mr.. Lin
coins speeches were very gratifying to the ultra
Republicans at Washington and elsewhere, but
not encouraging to those who have been hopeful
Of compromise.
The condition of affairs at the South is I'M
changed the new Provisional Government hav-
ing taken charge of affairs No assault upon
any of the Forts is apprehended at present.
There are unconhrmed rumors OF reinforce
ments having been sent to Fort Plckcns and tC
Forts in Texas
The Virginia Convention has done nothing yet
| 1t is said to be waiting the action of the Peace
Congress.
The Texas Convention has adjourned.
Georgia and Alabama accept the mediation o
Virginia in their differences with the Fedora
Government.
The Union candidates in Tennessee have been
elected by probably an aggregate majority OF
| fifty thousand, and the Convention defeated by
