Thcse reductions are made in consequence Of the
fast, that the long pending suits of the Wheeler
& Wilson Company, against infringing msnufao-
turers Of Sewing Machines, have all been decided
in favor Of the Company, and they have procured
ipjunctions upon q number of such infringers-
Thus freed at once from the heavy expenses Of lit
igatiou and from good deal of competition, they
propose to share with the Public the benefits
therefrom.
The prices now as low as the machines
be sold at, and pay fair profit, retaining the 6rst
class workmanship, which will always character
ize them.
No further reduction, can therefore be expected,

WASHINGTON, Jan. IS.
Tnere is now little doubt Of the ultimate
passage Of the Crittenden resolutions with
out much opposition, though n considerable
number are aveTso to sch course.
The surrender Of Pensacola navy yard to
the secessl0nists causes great indignation, and
Il Is thought that commander Armstrong
may be held TO answer before a court-mar-
tai lie halls from Massachusetts,.
Il IS asserted by some here that the new
South Carolina Commissioners have 10
particular object IN coming here except TO
forward information OF government move
ments before furnished by secession members
Of the cabinet and senators. Hon. Mr..
Hemingway Of Arkansas writes TO this city
under date Of January 9th, that Arkansas
will surely 90 out Of the Union. Tho bill
for calling the convention was rejected by
the legislature because it contained proyis-
sion iJr submitting the doings of the conven-
tion to tie people, \ new bill, not contain
Ing the provision is before the legislature
Il Is stated that TX Gov. Aiken Of South
Carolina was informed the other day, that
he WAS expected - lend the State $40 900
and when ne demurred, wastold that in the.
event Of his refusal he would be declared
disaf .cted ,snd hi5Charlsston property worth
very much more than that amount, would
be confscated and sold. Upon this be
raised the money, though with much diff

he would be better OF if he were q Northern

The bill for the admission OF Kansas will
pass the Senate, and Kansas viii become q

General, Will be confirmed to-day as Secreta-
~ Of War He would have been confirmed
yesterday. but for the Senate Tnles allowing
the nomination to lay over one day upon Oh
iootign being made. The secesslonlsts are
alarmed at the delay in signing the
secession ordinance by the members Of the
Convention of Alabama. The adyices from
Georgia and Florida are cheering. In the
former the cooperation party Is unexpectedly
strong, and in the latter State the Union
men are beginning to speak out
against secession. Arkansas is con-
sidered rs sure to the secos-
nonists. a Republican Senator having
requested Senator Slidell of Louisiana to pair
Of with him, the latter declared that he
has been grossly insulted. The Alabama
convention telegrayhs to the Alabama con-
rrssmen to resume their seats IN Congress.

Many here think that all the rum DTS of an
