CoSoREss.-The Senate's first duty on
meeting mex. December will be to reject
a number of Grants nominations, after
which it will deplorc tho death Of Mr..
Fesseuden, and the resignation OF
Mr.. Grimes. The old landmarks Of
Congress are fast disappearing. The
House lost its leader in Thaddeus Ste
vens, and two Of tins most authoritative
members oil tue Senate will be missed
in Fesserdeu and Grimes. The Senator
from Maine, especially, will leave q
blank. His lateut influence was often
even more powerful than his active par
ticipation in the labors of the Senate.
He had a great weight with the younger
members Of the body, like Morrill, aud
Edmuuds Of Vermont, and the New
England Senators generally. He acted
as a dasnper upon the Sumner wing OF
tho Chamber. He was that marvel, q
strict Republican frowuiug upon the
radicals and the Democracy, aud hold
lug both in awe. Both he and Mr..
Grimes were the last Of the old school
Of statesmen, in whom iuuate couserra'
tive tendencies struggled all the time

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT PsrALUNA.-We
copy from the San Francisco Chronicle
of Tuesday as follows:
Mrs. Stevens, who has been abroad on .
visit to Austin, Nevada, returned yesterday
to Petaluma, aud was met BY her SON at the
steamboat landing with a carriage. On Mrs.
Stevens entering the carriage the horses took
fright, and, becoming unmanageable, started
a, a fearful pace toward town. They ran two
miles and u half, and. turning a corner, Mrs.
Stevens was thrown out. She struck on her
head, and was picked up insensible. On ex-
animation her skull was found to be severely
fractured. Some hopes are entertained Of
her recovery, but it is extremely doubtful.
Mrs. Stevens had been on q visit to
Gold Hill, to see her son, u Town At

mabls lady is deeply regretted by those
who formed her acquaintance while she
was here.

The Missouri RIvER.-Since the dis.
coyery of the Missouri River, the most
incorrect ideas have prevailed AS to the
distance between the several promine emit
stopping places along its winding chan
mel. From the surveys recently made
by the United States Government, an
official table Of distances from the mouth
OF The Missouri to Sioux City has been
compiled aud published. The old ia
bles, it appears, lose considerably when
compared with the results Of scientific
exploration, and the vague estimates Of
the river pilots are shown to DO very far
from the truth. Thus, Sioux City is
only $40 miles from the mouth of the
Missouri, instead Of 1899 miles, as it
was formerly believed ; Omaha is $50
miles instead of $50 st. Joseph, SOL
miles instead Of $50 miles; Browns.
vile, 500 miles instead of 6sl; Leaven-
worth, 43S miles instead Of 1853. On
the other hand, Augusta, 81 miles from
the mouth Washington, 80 miles !
Herman, lls miles, and Portland, 1876
miles, are further distant than they
we're supposed to be. 1t is believed that
If the surveys be extended further up
the river, it will DO discovered that Fort
Benton IS $500 miles from the mouth
instead of 3 ,ll2 miles, as now supposed.

THE BYRON SCANDAL A PRE-
LUBE TO ANOTHER.

Mysterious rumors are afoat that
Mrs. Beecher Stowe is preparing for
publication o revelation from the pri-
vate history of Burns, charging him
with a crime even more revolving than
that which she has fastened upon the
poet Byron. 1t seems that Mrs. Stowe,
while on that memorable visit in 1856,
was spending part of her time with the
Duchess Of Sutherland, in Scotland,
While there Mrs. S. made the acquaint-
ance of q venerable female attendant
upon that lady, who claimed to have
been in her youth betrothed to Burns;
but for some reason heretofore unknown
the promise Of marriage had never been
fulfilled. Taking Mrs. Stowe into her
confidence, she imparts to her a dreadful
secret, the cause Of that broken con-
tract. The subjoined 10 q portion Of a
letter clipped from one of our prominent
journals, and contains the substance of
that secret interview:
1t is sufficient for my purpose to state
that, after much hesitation and great
emotion, the venerable lady introduced
the subject upon which her lips had
been so long sealed, and related to Mrs.
S. the whole history of her marriage
engagement with Burns. and the reason
it was broken of. That reason, as
given by her, was the discovery of a
secret and adulterous intrigue between
the poet and one Of his grandmothers,
and that the incestuous connection re-
suited in triplets. These children Of sin,
however, happily died in infancy.
or course she at once and forever dis
carded him. As q condition Of her si.
lence, she insisted that he should leave
tia ue%ighborhood, which he did, re-
moving to the village Of Irvine, where
he a%pprenticed himself to learn the
trade Of n fax.dresser. She further
conditioned that his aged paramour
should not follow him.
She further said that she was greatly
blamed by Burns relatives, who attrib-
uted the subsequent immortality of bic
verses, his defiance Of the "kirk," his
dissipated habits aud premature end, to
her treatment o! him. She had borne
this overwhelmingly for three. quarters
OF a century ; but for some time she had
felt that it was due to herself to make
the facts known.
She would probably have gone to the
grave, however, without making the
disclosure, had she not, since Mrs.
Stoves arrival, been awakened to a
new sense of religious responsibility by
the reading to her Of Uncle Toms
Cabin" This pious work bad thor
oughly aroused her, and she now consid.
cred it a duty to the young, in order to
save them from the pernicious influence
of Burns example and writings, to com
munieate the whole truth TO Mrs. s.,
who seemed to have providentially
come in her way for the very purpose,
to be used by her as she might in bel
best judgment deem proper. Mrs. S
thankfully, but with a due appreciation
Of its Importance, accepted the charge
