Scene IN the House Of ReDs,

Gen. Butler and Gen. Farnsworth met
in battle array in the House yesterday.
The basis ip itself was insignificant, be-
ing the question of passing a private pat
ent pistol bill for the relief Of one Rollin
White over the Presidents veto. While
Butler was advocating the passage Of the
bill Farnsworth interjected charge into
the speech that produced sensation, By
declaring thas Butler had been employed
as counsel for the opponent Of White, but
had turned around to represent the latter
before Congress for fee of two thousand
dollars. He exhibited certified copy
Of documents to show that Gen. Butler
had received this sum. TO this Farms
worth added that Butler had fled a small
brief in the Supreme Court, where a suit
over the case was pending as a mere pre-
tence to cover he receipt Of so large a fee
for work to be done really in Congress.
Il therefore charge him." said Farms
Worth, With vehement voice and gesture,
""with being on both sides Of the case !;
on one side without q fee. and then Oh
the other side Of the case with a
fee." BY this time the whole House was
on its feet. Mr.. Farnsyorth had the
rule read that no member should, vote
on subject in which he was interested
A , attempt to shut off debate and thus
end the scene failed, and Mr.. Butler got
the floor in reply. Mr.. Farnsworth sought
an interruption. Sir. Butler excitedIy

ing Farnsgorth with having made an
infamous and maliciously false statement.
and adding that he acted in the first in-
stance against the " bite patent for some
of his constituents, hut he was not called
into the case professionally until White
came in and said his counsel was i'll and

The Crops Abroad.

The Mark Lane Express, the great
newspaper authority on the grain market
in Engl land, states that the continued
drought in that country is strong evidence
Of the failure of the wheat crop and a
large increase of prices. In March last
wheat was selling for 50 rs the quarter,
and at present brings $10,S8. The
merchants in England base their calcula
ton on deficient crop in 1859 and on
probable short supplies this year from
the Baltic. Grain is also being sent to
the Continent, and medium quality Cali
fornia white wheat at $12.48 per quarter,
free on board, was recently SHIPPED for
Hayre. The Mark Lane Erprcss says
that the transient dream Ct overloaded
granaries and endless supplies in England
is fading away.

SOME one, nom de plume correspon-
dent from Harrisouburg, writing to the
Baltimore San, says it is the great wish
of the citizens of that section to have the
b. & O. Railroad Company take posses
sion of the O. A. & Nj. Road from Stras-
burg to Harrisonhurg. We know some
thing of the unreliabiiity of Hsrrisonburg
correspondents and would rather the
Register and Commonwealth would speak
the mind Of Rocking ham before We believe
any such statement, Why should we
prefer any monopoly !? Is not Alexandria
eudeared to US By thousand tiesof sym
pathy and consanguinity, to say nothing
of the State pride in building up Viz
GINA cities and especially, too. one of
superior mercantile advantages, which has
been suffered to be overridden by dis
eliminating corporations and an undue
appreciation of the natural advantages OF
this city. If the Baltimore Road runs in
opposition to Alexandria, its capacity to
monopolize must seriously iujure the
latter city, and, on account Of the relation
we hold to her people We regret to see a
disposition to injure, if net ruin her
trade from the Valley. AS for the Valley
people, we prefer two roads~-independent
and competing with each other, but not
the one to swallow up the part Of the other
to the certain destruction Of the whole.
If Baltimore wishes to share our trade
let her build road through the Valley
and then equally compete for lis trade.
