CONGRESS PHOTOGRAPHER BY THE
NEW YORK HERALD.

The New York Herald, now that Congress
is about adiouming thinks a few pictures
should be taken of it-small and large-tO
perpetuate its remembrance with the peO-
Pile We reproduce some of the smaller
ones BY looking at them the members of
Congress can see their own likenesses in
miniature, and the people can see what sort
of Representatives they are cursed or blessed
with. Here they are:
A PERSONAL JoB.--Congress demands
retreuchment in the departments, and raises
the compensation Of members to five thou
sand dollars per session.
A CoNrENPLmLE JoB.-Congresscu of
the bounty 10 poor soldiers, raises the salary
of members 90 FIVE thousand dollars per an
mum. and squanders over two hundred and
fifty millions uselessly.
A SLY JoB.-Congress proposes 10 fund
the National debt and sell surplus gold, al
lowing a percentage for the business to out
siders. and raise she pay Of members 10 five
thousand dollars.
A DowN EAST PEus8oGUE JoB.-Con-
grcss proposes TO establish a Bureau Of Edu-
cation at a cost Of five millions per annum,
and increases the pay OF members TO i've
thousand dollars per session.
Congress meanly cuts of the salary Of
Minister HARVEY, because he wrote n pri-
yate letter in defense Of the President bat
increases its own salary, earned only by
abusing the President
Congress is going TO pay itself higher
salary for keeping the Union Dissolved.
Congress votes 20 pay itself more money
for remaining In session 10 legislate against
the people and in favor Of Radical Office
holders
A CRACKING JoB.-Congress.T .Taises the
salary Of its members 10 FIVE th6dsand dol
lars per session. and compels the Govern
meEt TO pay the National hanks thirty mill
lions per anuum in the shape Of interest on
Government bonds, for the privilege Of
having Treasury notes and legal tenders su-
perseded as currency.
Congressmen have evidently made up
their minds that they viii not be reelected
and are stealing all the money they possibly
ear.
A VERY SERIOUS JoB-With a revenue
Of over two hundred millions above what is
demanded, Congress piles o.. taxation BY in
creasing the tariff and internal revenue tax

An ODD TAsTE.-A great many artificial
tastes exist in animals as well as human be-
ings. The goats in Mr.. LYNN's Shipyard
will scent out tobacco if yon have it in your
pocket, and beg you to share it with them
The deer in the public square have acquired
an inordinate taste for the same article. The
oldest case of a perversion of natural taste
we have yet seen is that Of horse at the
brewery Of Messrs. ABBOTT and Company,
in this city. The animal will drink, when
ever it is treated to it, a bucket full of por-
ter, and would take more if its thirst was
sufficient The liking for the beverage has
been gradually acquired, just as many people
are obliged to eat tomatoes, by nauseating
degrees. The horse was pet. In hot
weather The drayman would sponge his
mouth with porter. What might have been
at first distasteful came to be sought for with
the greatest eagcTness.--F Philadelphia Gozeite.

Correspondence Of the Union and Amoricanl
COLUMBUS. Miss, July p, lS66.-The
situation Of affairs in this region fully proves
what was predicted last year, and that is that

Mos N thc planters in Mississippi, after
having hired their hands for the year, slim
ulated by the high price Of cotton, planted
as much 20 the hand as they formerly did.
The weather was very bad in the spring
beinp excessively wet. The result was the
crops were not well worked, the corn parti-
cularly was neglected 10 save the cotton, and
in consequence both corn and cotton were
very materially injured. Too much cotton
was planted 10 the hand and on that account
less willhe made than ii a smaller quantity
had been planted, and il bad been worked.
This region of country will hardly make
halfa crop. Our crop Is doing well because
we adopted a different policy from that
generally pursued. We planted less cot
ton and more corn 20 the hand
than was usual. hope the southern peo-
pie will learn from the experience OF this
YEAR 20 plant les cotton 10 the hand, and

DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHINGTON,
June IL, 1S66.-SR: The Secretary Of
War has laid before the President several
dispatches which were received yesterday
and to-day from Major General MEADE, who
is commanding the United States forces on
the Canadian frontier. These communica-
tons warranted the President in believing
that the so-called Fenian expedition is now
entirely at an end, and that order and tran
guilty may be expected to prevail hence
forth upon that border. ] regret, however,
that ] am obliged to connect with the grati-
flying information the further statement that
reports have reached Major General MEADE
TO the effect that some of the Canadian or
British troops have crossed the line, and
entered within the territory and jurisdiction
Of the United States. Ii is even said that
this entrance took place after the disturbers
Of the peace, under the command of the
leader SPEAR, had relinquished their for
hidden enterprise and withdrawn within the
boundary line Of the United States. The
reports go so far as to say that prisoners
have been taken on the soil Of the United
States and conveyed TO Canada, and that the
Canadian agents have threatened that these
prisoners. together with such stragglers as
NAV now ne lOAIu MlAlllu llte Aauduldil
lines, will be executed without legal trial.
Il is believed that these reports are exagger-
ated. Care has been taken by Major Gen
cral MEADE TO have them promptly investi-
gated
In the meantime I am instructed by the
President to represent % you, and through
vou to the British and Canadian authorities,
that this Government would not look, with
out serious concern, upon the practice Of any
unnecessary severity, especially on theexer-
else of retaliation or other illegal proceed
ings upon the persons Of such ofthe offenders
~ have fallen, or shall hereafter fall into
the hands Of the Canadian authorities. |
respectfully invite your attention to this sub
iect, with the confident expectation that no
proceedings that are not authorized and in
conformity with law will be taken against
persons Of that class, and in the hope that
even the customary administration of the
law will be tempered with special fOrbear-
ance and clemency. In view Of the effective
proceedings which this Government has
adopted in regard 20 the disturbances on
the frontier now so fortunately ended, these
representations would have been made by
nae without waiting 70 be moved from any
other quarter. They are now made, how
ever, with the approval Of Maj. Gen. MEADE,
and ! believe that they will receive the con-
currence Of the Congress and Of the people Of
the United States.
