oath of Dec. Also one by Mr.. Bigler,
viz: The establishment, by the Conslitu-
ton, of the line of SO deg. 80 min.; eight
territorial governments to be established
north and four south of that line, the geo.
graphical area being greater in the former
than in the latter. When each territory
has a population sufficient for one Repre-
sentative in Congress, it is to be admitted
as a State by a proclamation of the Pres
ident, thus removing the question from
Congress-slavery to be iuterdicted north
and tolerated south of that line.
The Committee also considered the pro-
position Of Mr.. Rice: The establishment of
a similar line to admit all the territories
north of this line as one State, to he call
ed Washington, and all the territory south
Of this line to be called Jefferson and ad-
mltted with slavery. All these were re-
jected.
The Committee, finding they cannot
agree on any recommendation, will report
to the Senate at an early day.
The House select Committee considered
the proposition of Massachusetts. An
amendment to the Constitution prohibit
ing Congress from passing a law interfering
with slavery in the States where it exists.
1t was agreed to by nearly a unanimous
vote. The several d~issenlents considering
that the Constitution already gives that

GUNPowDER FOR THE SoUTH.-Wc were yes
terday on board the steamboat Neae Moon, and
seeing large lot of kettles, between twenty
and thirty, some Of great SIZE and the men at
work getting steam engine on board, we in
quired what these articles we're for, ard were
informed By the captain Of the boat that they
were intended for the manufacture Of saltpetre
at q spot in the mountains, some sixty or Sew
enty miles distant from Jacksonport, Ark. to
which town the boat would convey then.-
We learned that Mr.. Brinkly, Of this city,
and s1r. Jones, who resides down the river,
opposite the town Of commerce, have bought
from Capt. James Smith, who lives on Black
River, the saltpetre cave about to be worked
at the price of 1000. The purchasers, in
the present contingency, have determined,
patriotically, to spare no pains or expense to
supply the South with an article she so much
requires as saltpetre, for the manufacture Of
gunpowder. AS soon as thirty or forty hands
can be obtained, they will be set to work, and
it is believed that large amount Of saltpetre
will be procured II Memphis appeal, 14th.

General Cass ON the War.

A Detroit correspondent of Northern news
paper Indignantly denies the TRUTH Of the re,
port that General Cass had distinguished
himself by his patriotism and lberality in
equipping entire regiments, and making large
contributions for the prosecution of the war.
The Detroit letter writer IA violent Linconlte)
sarcastcally adds that the rich old statesman
has only taken $4,000 in our State loan to
aid in prosecuting the war, for which ne will
be entitled to seven per cent. interest"
We" shrewdly suspect that General Cass S
heart is not in this war inaugurated by his old
enemies for the snbingation Of the South, and
the esta blsh,nent of military despotism on
the ruins of the Federal Union. to which he
says she will cling as a mariner ciings to the
last plank when night and tempest clesc around
him" General Cass has no confidence in the
capacity of the Northern people fer self.goSern-
nent lie knows that they have not the
first idea of rational liberty. He ardently
desires the continuance of the Union, because,
among other important considerations, it
gave him an increased assurance Of the seen.
rity of his property in the free States. Gene
raj Cass finds no guarantee for his property in
the institutions or in the society Of the North
He would make no admission of the kind un-
der existing circumstances; but the fact is SO,
nevertheless. Some years since, General Cass
said to a Southern friend: "If you have your
troubles in the South, we have ours also statt
greater in the North. If your slave property
is threatened By abolitionism, ours is still worse
threatened by antirentism, Ggrarianlsm ana
every variety of hgher.iaw-ism." The Ola
gentleman then simply asserted an undenlable
fact, fact with which he cannot possibly DC
less impressed now than he was then.

We suggest to Lieutenant General Winfield
Scott, Commander.in-C Chief Of the United
States army, that it is time he was renewing
bis oath Of allegiance. It has been several
months since he took the oath and his past
habit periodically renewing it, concurs with
the present suspicious of many, and the dis
trust Of more Of his associates, in raising the
question whether the last swearing has not
probably asorn out. If he does not look out
he may find himself in Fort Hamilton yet.
