DASlEL WEBSTER AND JENNY LISp.-Jenny
Lind gave u concert in Washington durinu
the session of Congress, and, as n mark OF her
respect, and with n view to the ecl1t, sent DO.
lite invitations TO the President, Mr. Fillmore
the members Of the Cabinet, Mr.. Clay and
many other distinguished members Of both
Houses OF Congress. 1t happened that on
that day several members of the Cabinet and
Senate were dining with Mr.. Bodisco, the
Russian Minister. His good dinner and
choice wines had kept the party SO late that
the concert was nearly over when Webster,
Clay, Critenden and many others came IN;
whether from the hurry in which they came
in, or from the heat of the room, their faces
was little flushed, and they all looked some
what lurried.
After the applause with which these gentle
men had been received had subsided, and ST.
lence once more restored, the second part OF
the concert was opened by Jenny Lind, with
Hail Columbia. 4" ..N ..0 .."''' .' ..'......
This took place during the hight of the de-
bate and excitement Of the slavery question
and the compromise resolutions of Mr.. Clay;
and this patriotic air, as a part Of the pro-
gramme, was considered peculiarly nppropri-
ate at concert where the head Of the Gov
eminent and large number of both branches
of the legislative department were present.
At the close of the first verse, Webster's patri-
otism boiled over; he could stand It no longer;
and rising like Olympian Jove, he added his
deep, sonurous bass voice TO the chorus: and
venture TO say that never in the whole course
OF her career did she ever hear or receive one
half OF the applause as that with which her
song and Webster's chorus was greeted.
Mrs. Webster who sat immediately behind
him, kept tugging at his coat-tail to make him
sit down or stop singing, but il WAS of no
earthly use; and Rt the close of each verse,
Webster joined in, and il was hard 10 say
whether Jenny Lind, Webster, or the audi
ence were the most delighted. Ihave seen
iuhni, Lablanche and the two Crisis on the
stage at one time, but such n happy coniunc-
tion III the national air of "lImil Columbia -
ns Jenny Lind's tenor, and Daniel Webster =
bass, We shall never hear or see again.
At the close of tha air, Mr. Webster rose
with his hat in his hand, and nude her such
n bow as Chesterfield would have deemed II
fortune for his son, and which eclipsed DeOr-
says best. Jenny Lind blushed at the dstin-
guishcd honor, couTtesied To the floor; the
audience npplauded to the very echo; Webster
determined not to be outdone in politeness,
bowed again; Miss Lind re-courtesied; the
house re-applauded, and this was repeated
nine times, or I'm villain else."

Malibrnn; | have walked through the ruins ut
Paestum and the Colosseum 10y moonlight;

Tunnel, but never while memory lasts will

THE UNION Pacific RAILROAD As A WINTER
LISE.-The Union Pacific Railroad has won a
triumph in having operated u thousand miles
of line during the unprecedented storm of the
last three days, without suffering serious oh.
struction from snow on any part of it.. This
IL the crowning victory Of the continental
railway as n Winter line, and not only dispels,
finally and forever, the popular error concern
ing the mountain snow fall, but settles the
case Of malignant rivals and enemies who
have claimed for years that IL could not be
operated In Winter. II was writer in the
Edinburg Review who based his main argyll
nont in favor Of rival English line from
Vancouver through Ruperts Land to Hudson
Bay upon the broad assertion that tho Union
Pacific could not be operated in Winter. 1t is
not n year since Horace Greeley argued for
gigantic subsidies to the Fremont project upon
the same ground ; while all the small fry,
croakers of high and low degree. have made
the country ring again with undated clamor
to the same effect H .. VH. Y ...
The experience Of single Winter has set
tied the great question triumphantly for the
great road. The late storm, following upon
several others Of singular severity, put it to a
final test, aid IL comes out Of II on the closing
day of the most violent, long continued and
drifting storm which this country has ever
known, with clear track from Omaha to Og.
den. IL gives abundant cause for congrntu-
lating the management and company upon
results which are worth millions Of dollars To
the road and the country IL traverses. While
every connecting eastern road Is buried in
snow and blockaded, the mails from the east
being at this writing three days behind time,
those from the west arrive with uninterrupted
regularity from California. Results prove that
the Union Pacific is the best Winter route in
tho same latitude in the United States.--

Death Of W. D. Robertson, a Noted Inventor

The subjoined account OF disaster on Sui
sun Bay, Cal, and the death of a noted in
ventor, is from the s. F. Call of March 10th
On Tuesday last lameutable occurrence
took place III Suisun Bay. by which w D.
Robertson, the inventor of the railroad track

some time since invented n ditching and
dredging machine, aud had takenra a contract

another person went 10 Collinsville in small
boat. to see about some castings that were
required. and which were 10 have been sent I o
that place from San Francisco. They took
with them bottle of liquor. and drank quite
freely ON the tnp down. and several times dur
ing their stay at Collinsville Shortly after
dinner they started 10 return to the island but
before doing 80 they relenished the bottle.
After getting away from The town, Robertson
drank number OF times, and became so
drunk as to be almost helpless, and while in
that condition, and when near the island, the
boat was caPsiZed. The man who was with
Robertson succeeded in getting himself and
companion ashore upon the island, but in
doing 80 lost the boat anil was unable TO re-
cover it. They were also in that condition
which made them very careless about cOnEc-
quencos and they laid down upon the damp
beach TO rest after their involuntary wcttng
Night came on, which proved very cold and
being without fire, and their clothes being
wet, they suffered greatly. The next morning
they were too weak TO walk across the island
To where the machine was. About o'clock
on "Wednesday afternoon little schooner la
den with wood. and going to where the work
was progressing, came along, and hearing the
cries of the companion of Robertson. went to
the rescne. Upon reaching the shore, they
found that Robertson had died abont an hour
nnd a half before their arrival, aud his com.
psnion was but little better The remains
ofthe deceased were taken to San Francisco
and were taken charge of by mombers of the
Masonic fraternity. Robertson leaves wife
and six children. He was the inventor of
several very important labor-saving machines

Governor Hoffman OF Federal Anair0
and on the Georgia Bill.


n Lie rocent nessare to the New York
LEGISLATURE, Governor Hoffman says:
stTbe people of this State are deeply
concerned in wise administration OF fede-
mi affairs. As representing them, be-
lieve it to be nv duty, before closing this
message. TO call attention to, and protest
aroinst, whatever in the policy Of the Gem
oral Government strikes at their CONNER
ciol and AGRICULTURAL interests, or is In any
way preiudicial to their welfare. Iprotest
against the revolutionary course OF Congress
with reference to amendments OF the Con-
stitution of the United States; By which,
among their other efforts at Capitalization,
they seek the absolute control Of elections
in the States. Powerless themselves to
amend it bv direct act, and unable to pro-
cure the voluntary consent Of thrcc-fourths
of the States, they force the consent OF the
southern States as a condition to reprcsen-
tation, and thus override and nullify the
will of others, whose proper relations to the
Federal Government have never been in
terruptc1, and whom they cannot constrain.
II protest against the action Of both Con-
rress and the President of the United
States in subjecting the people of Georgia
t.new to military power, their State Govern
mcnt being in full operation, and the rcsto-
ration of their constitutional relations with
the Federal Government having been recog-
nizcd by the Federal authorities as COM
plete. l protest against the longer exclu-
sion from representation of any Of the States;
if any one be excluded the rights Of all ore
unsettled, and the harmony of our Govern
mont is destroyed"

WAsurSGToy, January 5.-IEe Demo
cratic and Republican State committees o.
Georgia met at Atlanta to-day to confer as
70 the course each party should pursue Oh
The reasscmbling Of the Legislature on
Wednesday next. The political complexion
of the body is so close that it is hard to say
who will he in thc majority, and the Demo-
rats will not make public the prosr2mmc
they have determined on. The Conserva-
lives are confident Of beating the Radicals
out of the fifteenth amendment in spite 81
the action of Congress, should they feel
disposed to do so.
Senator Trumhull's bill, prohibiting SEN
ators and members from endorsing appll-
cants for Federal Offices, meets with more
favor than was supposed. The judiciary
Committee Of the Senate are understood to
&c unanimous for it. and will report it mex.
week.
The evidence il the contested election
case of Whittlcscy Is. Mckenzie, Of the
Alexandria (Va.) congressional district, Is
nearly completed, and thus far does not
ful nish much ground for contest. Il is not
claimed that there is any special fraud in
the election, but that Mckenzie, who re-
ceived the certificate Of election, is not eli
rible on account Of having sympGthizcd
with the rebellion. There is good deal Of
evidence from McKenzie's political opro-
rents, showing that he was always Union
nun. IETA.
