JOE LANE AND ANDY JOHNSON.

When | think of that speech, and when
| remember that General Lane was at one
time a probable candidate for the Presi
dency, / can not find words to express my
thanks to Divine Providence for our es
cape. True, the speech had its advantage.
1t gave rest to the wearied reporters for
the press, and enabled Senators to write
their letters undisturbed When it was
done, Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, rose
to reply. Mr.. johnson is a selfmade
man. In his youth he was tailors APP
prentice, and he learned his letters from
his wife. He is natural orator, and as
brave a man as lives The author of Gen
eral Lanes speech attacked, with sarcasm
and sneer, the Homestead Bill, with which
Senator Johnson's name is Connected
Johnsons reply was one of the most eio-
quent bursts ever heard III the Senate /
remember, he said in substance, when, af-
ter years of painful struggles, with the
young wife had brought from my native
place in North Carolina, and the little. IA
mily which had grown up around us, | was
enabled to purchase q small plot of ground
in Tennessee and build a small cabin upon
it which | could call my own. i remem-
Der the feeling Of triumph and exultation
with which we looked upon the poor little
shed, and knew that at last we had 4 HOME
OF OUR OWN. And then, long years ago, /
made up my mind that II ever had the
power, every poor man, struggling rs !
was, should be enabled 10 obtain home
should have one spot of earth, however
small. one cabin, however rude and scan
", which. in the light of heaven, and the
face Of man, he should le able TO call his
own

PuGH's AuEyDNESTs DEFEATED.

Then Douglas rose, and in his deep, bass
voice, eloquently appealed to the Senate to
reconsider the vote. Crittenden seconded
the appeal Clingrnan, of North Carolina
once strong Douglas man, now, cor
fellow. a secessionist ina Union State-de-
clared that he would change his vote. SO
the reconsideration was carried, amidst
gnashng of teeth by the extreme Repub-
licans and secessionists; and, after some
debate, the grammatical amendment was
defeated. Senator Pugh then moved the
Cr;ttenden resolutions as a second amend
ment Every one knew that they could
not pass But the design was, as l stated
above, to defeat action on the main reso-
luton.

TRUMBCIG AND WADE.

What | have said of Wilkinson and
Chandler will apply to TrumLull Il Wade.
The former was obviously bent on being
heard in Georgetown. Neither had pre-
pared their speeches beforehand; and,
consequently, repetitions were incessant
'Old Ben Wade" as his familiars call him,
made some good points in opposition TO
Senator Douglas, who forgot his good man
ners in an attack upon him. But there
was nothing new in either of the speeches
The calm dignity naturally expected in a
Senatorial address, the terse assertion of
principle and its logical application to cur
rent events, We're wanting-or at all event,
were drowned in profuse verbiage.

CHANDLER AND wILklxsoS.

A French gentleman, of large public cx-
perience, who heard this debate, remarked
that Wilkinson ard Chandler were fair
types of Northern, while Wigall was afair
type of Southern statesmen. without go
ing so far as this, one must admit that
there are superficial grounds for the asser
ton. Western men like Chandler and
Will,inson-and they are nenrly all alike
are very unpleasant orators to listen to,
Their language is not we'll chosen, and
their delivery most offensive. Trained 10
address out-ofdoor audiences, they never
overcome the habit OF bawling; their
tones alternate between a couac and a roar.
Their gesticulation is abouinabie. When
they become excited, the hearers anxiety
for the safely of their bloodyessels absorbs
every other feeling To see thom sit down
is his only wish. Men like Jefferson Davis
and Wm. II. Seward speak IN ordinary
tones, yet are heard throughout the Senate
chamber But these Western Cieeros al
ways seem to be addressing some one who
is three miles OF. They appear TO consi-
der themselves oratorical Columbiads,
warranted not to burst with any charge
Their matter, too is generally ill-digested.
They take an hour to say what could be
better said in ten minutes. The noise OF
thelf own voice 'is' uros 'HS,i 'iiSlioi J, ''lo
they repeat themeelves endlessly.
WIGFALI.
Senator Wigfall, Of Texas, is the exact
opposite of these speakers He is finish
ed orator-probably the most charming in
the Senate. His voice is clear, meiodIous,
and sufficiently powerful TO be heard eve
rywhere He speaks dramatically, ele-
gantly, and without effort. He never
bawls-he never screams His delivery Is
perfect, and his action suitable. When TO
these merits I add that he is witty and
smart, have said every thing that can be
said in his favor. For he has the misfor-
tune of being almost always illogical, in
correct, and often absurd. He is duel
list. and carries his life in his hand

the most learned man in the Senate, he is
not an efficient Senator or debater.

The Sugar Crop of 1851.

We copy the following interesting
statement from the Franklin ia Banner
Of the slst ult. :
There have boen many speculations of
late in relation to the growing sugar crop,
a. to Its probable amount. the demand and
the prices. AZ 10 the amount IL nes,orm.
Or other unforeseen disasters occur 20 in.
jure the crop, il ~ill doubtless rsuch over
100000 hogsheads. The crop 10 generally
good through all the sugar growing par
ishes. Under favorable circumstances il
may come up TO SOC. 900 hhds. But ha.f
that amount this year would yield moro
profit 10 the planter than no could realize
from q full crop.
Iht West in prosperous times consumes
100000 hhds. Of Louisiana sugar. The
blockade has cut of this market. Portions
Of Missouri and Kentucky will obtain n
small amount, but the blockaded States
will be the principal consumers. Texas can
get no Louisiana sugar, except those por.
''ons that get their supplies through the
Red Ri"er navigation. But she will con-
sumo her Own crop, which, fortunately for
her. 10 made in that part Of the State whose
communication with New Orlsan. 10 cut of
by the blockade.
'ortunately for the sugar planter, by
mean" Of rail roads and nav igsbie streams.
the sugar crop can be conveniently sent to
all portions of the Confederate States and
b' blockadlng these States, Lincoln b.ne.
hts the sugar planter by comp ling citizens
I" use l.ouisiana sugar alone aud when
by habit they acquire a taste for this kind
Of sugar like the Western people, they will
continue TO use it in after wears. So. if the
sugar planter loses the West ~ . custom.
e'. he will gain the South at . period. too
when the West will begin 10 wans in her
prosperity, while the South bid. fair to DO
thrifty and valuable customer.
