WASHINGTON, D. c., April Il, 1856.
The House Committee on Territories, at
their meeting this morning, considered the
Senate bill for the admission of Dakota into
the Union as State. The republicans OF
the committee to man supported the Har.
rison bill as it came from the Senate, but
the democrats, as usual, were divided, some
opposing the division of the Territory, and
some favoring the Missouri river as the d.
viding line. Some of the republicans said
it was plain that the democrats were oppos.
ed to the admission of the proposed new
State because it was republican. This so
lrritated the democrats that the discussion
waxed warm, and continued heated until
the hour OF adjournment, without arriving
at any definite conclusion.
After weeks diligent enquiry il was as.
certained positively to-day, fro % q source
about the reliability OF which there ia no
possible doubt, that the nomin alton of Mai
w. W. Herbert for postmaster at Alexan.
dria, has been reported fayorably by the
Senate Postofice Committee, to whom it
was referred. 1t will, therefore, of course,
be confirmed.
The Brady bill, relating to the Virginia
debt, which was referred to the House Ju.
dietary Committee, will be considered by
that committee tomorrow. From the way
it ID spoken of by some of the democratic
members of the committee, it will not
amount to much, so far as helping Virginia
is concerned.

SUGAR SHOULD be on the free list, and so
should rice, but not for the reason that they
are Southern products, as the Northern pro.
tectionists seem to think. So also should
iron, wool, coal and fish be on the free list,
not because they are Northern products,
but because, like sugar and rice, only more
so, they are necessaries of life, and because
the existing high duty upon them increases
the cost of living.

A WOMAN RESISTING THE BOYCOTTERs.-
Mrs. Gray, who has bakery in Hudson ST.,
New York, is vigorously resisting the boy
cotting of her establishment by the Bakers
Union. Sunday last every one approaching
the bakery was handed boycott circular
by men detailed for that purpose, but Mrs.
Gray says the only effect has been to large
" increa &c the transient business Of the
bakery. The Tribune says there has been a
constant stream of well-dres5ed customers,
both male and female, into the bakery.
Many of them buy lots OF bread which they
leave with Mrs. Gray for distribution
among the needy people in the neighbor
hood, while others deiantly carry their
purchases under the noses Of the boy otters.
Every day she receives letters and personal
EXPIRE s5ons of encouragement and SYM
patty in her plucky fight, and is as deter
mined as ever that under NO. circumstances
will she submit TO the dictation of the boy
cotters. She said Sunday 1T il not ques

the bakery Monday was poltionately rs
large as on Saturday. Mrs. Gray thought
that her receipts from regular custom over
the counter were rather more than third
better than on any Monday since she has
been in business. This is exclusive of 1925
which was received Monday in donations
from numbers of people who directed that
the money they sent be expended in fur

institutions. Among the contributions for
bread for the poor that came in Monday
was one Of $50 from Mr.. Charles Croker of

millionaire. Another gentleman brought in

THE BOYCOTT of Mr.. Tenney, the George
town miller, and of the Baughmans, the
Richmond job printers, has, it is under
stood, and by no means unnaturally in a
free country, where every man is at least
supposed to have the right to conduct MS
own business, as he, and not as other peo'
ple. probably his enemies, may choose, so
far from diminishing, greatly increased
their business, and made for them life time
customers, who otherwise, in all probability,
never would have spent cent with them.
The boycott in land of liberty, is two
edged sword, and is therefore a dangerous
instrument, and especially so in such I'M
skillful hands as these who WELD it in this
