MONDAY, Jan.-29.
In the Sen-ite to day, after the presentation
of petitions, the Bill granting lii'rids_.for the
itnprovement of the Fox and Wiskonsin riv-
ers, and the connection of their waters by it
canal, was again taken up. Nothing new
transpired in the debate. except that Mr.
Haywood suggested that the reserved lands
in this region had been already entered by
speculators, and that the Government would
never realize the amount granted by the en-
'hatrcement of the value ofthe reserved sec-
'tions, as proposed. If the improvement was
to be made, he thought it might be as well
done by an open appropriation for the object.
The matter was laid over for further inquiry.
Many petitions were presented and pri-
vate bills reported.
T/re 'I’a.rtf,—-Mr. McDufiie replied to Mr.
’ Evans, and answered his argument that pri-
ces ofarticles imported were not enhanced
by the Tariff‘. He stated that they were en-
hanced at least twenty five per cent.-—
He argued also that the interests of this Ur.-
ion were not identical. They were in some
respects conflicting. The same system of
policy would not promote the prosperity of
all alike. He drew a picture of what the
South would be under it different state of
things, and called on the Senate to mark it.
Suppose. said he, that there were t/tree
cnnfederacjes, instead ofone. Supposethere
was a North Eastern confederacy of nianu-
facturing and commercial States; a South
t -- . -e..-
stipport ofthe 2lst role. He showed that it
did not abridge the right of petition, that it
left the people free to petitiqn for the redress
of grievances;_that Slavery was not ii griev-
ance to the petitioners, in the contemplation
of the Constitution: that the Constitution
gave no power to remove such a grievance;
and that slavery and the constitution are
linked together, and both must stand together.
The bill to authorize the transfer of Naval
appropriations, under the direction of the
President, was taken up in committee of the
whole, and produced an unaccountably long
debate, without any conclusion.

western confcderacy ofproducing Sales; and
a North Western Confederacy ofgrain grow-
.ing States. The South Westerm confedera-
'cy would export a hundred millions worth of
cotton, rice and tobacco, and itnport a hun-
dred and twenty millions worth of foreign
merchandise. They would impose a duty of
only ten per cent. and thus raise a revenue
of twelve millions. The North VVL-stern
confederacy would supply them with a large
amount ofprovisions, &.c. and their whole
trade would pass 'to market through the
Southern Ports. They would also purchase
all their foreign imports in the Southern
Ports, instead of the Northern, because they
would get them thirty per cent. cheaper.
The North Eastern confederacy would
not then import more than fifteen millions of
foreign articles, and they would raise a rev-
enue of only six millions, by imposing a da-
-ty of forty per cent. Their commerce navi-
gation, and manufactures would all languish
and their prosperity would be turned into
desolation. The Southern cities, on the oth-
er hanti, would assume the same air of
wealth and business that the Northern cities
now had. He warned gentlemen that we
were approaching a state of things that
would lead to such a change.
VVhile in this end ofthe Capitol. an op-

propriation of certain refuse lands in Indiana

Canceled Treasu.r_i/ Nolcs.——ln the Senate
to day, Mr. Buchanan presented a memorial
fromthe editors of the Ledger, suiting that
they had received in the course of their busi-
ness a Treasury note for $500, which was
one of those notes which the Secretary of the
Treasury had stated to have been canceled.
though illegally put in circulation, and
which the Secretary had refused to p-ty.—
They ask that provision may be made for
its payment. Mr. B. presented another case
ofa thousand dollar note field in the same
way.‘ Neither of those Notes bore the
slightest mark of being canceled, and no re-
ceipt was endorsed on them. Mr. B. siid
that justice and good faith required that these
notes he paid, and he moved their reference
to the Committee on Finance. A general
bill on the subject will be reported.
_ Jac/.'son’s' Flnc.——Mr. Berricn from the
"Committee on the Judiciary, reported the
House bill refunding the fine imposed on
General Jackson, with amendment providing
that nothing therein Sltdll imply any censure

ment kills the bill in the Senate. The dem-
ocrats will not take it with that amendment.

The Ta.rifl'—Mt'. McDufi'ie gave notice
that .he would ofier a resolution that. would
bring the bill introduced by him within the
.-jurisdiction ofthe Senate, in order to obviate
the objection to the discussion. He hoped
a‘l objection would be withdrawn, for the
debate mighuas well take place now; as at
the healer’ tho,-session.
In-executive session, the Senate rejected
the nomination of Mr. Porter as Secretary of
War,an‘d’then adjourned.

In the House, the report on the rules was
considered, during the morning hour. Mr.

ly proper to denounce a Senator as to praise
him. ‘ .
Mr. Berricn, in a few words, expressed
his regret that his colleague should thus,
without notice, have seen fit to make this at-
tack upon him; but he had lived in vain, if
he was to be moved by such assaults at this
time of lif-:— He had never invoked an ex-
pression of opinion from the Legislature of
Georgia, (as alleged by Mr. C.) ' His ap-
peal had been to the people of that State and
of the United States; and three times had the
people of Ga. responded in language not to
be misunderstood, and ten days after these
resolutions, he had received counter ones.-—-
The doctrine. of Legislative instruction he
had denied publicly before his election, as
he did now.

of an alleged agency, on the part ‘of himself

Wliiclt Will you do ?——One of two things
must be done in this country. Parents must
expend money to educate their childra n, or
they must pay taxes to build pszniteutiaries
and to punish crime. There is a great mis.
take about what is called education. Some
suppose every learned man is an educated
No such thing. That man is educa-
ted, who knows himself, and who takes ac-
curate common sense views of men and
things around him. Some very learned
men are the greatest fools in the world; the
reason is, they are not educated men. Lear-
ning is only the. means, not the ind; its val
ue consists of giving the rm.-ans of acquiring
the discipline which, when properly inan-
aged, it gives the mind. Some of the great-
est men in the world were not overstocked
with learning, but their actions proved they
were thoroughly educated. Washington,
Franklin and Sherman, were of this class:
and similar, though less striking instances
may be found in all countries. To be edti
cared, 8 man must be able to think, reason,
compare and decide accurately. He may
study metaphysics till he is gray, and lati-
gunges till he is a walking po|ygloi_ and it
he is nothing more, he is an uneducated mm.
There is no class in the country who has-ea
stronger interest, in the proper education of
children than farmers,and the subj-ctshotild
receive from them the attention it deserves.

The Mormons.—An intelligent gentle-

informs the editor of the Cleveland, Ohio.
Herald, that the niormons are receiving con-

Europe—that the Great Temple is progres-
sing slowly—and that "General Joseph
Smith" is becoming more and more dictato-
rial and threatning towards the worldly
powers that be, and more impious in his
pretensions to the character of a prophet.-
Still ‘he fears kidnapping or assassination by
the “evil minded Missourians,” and keeps a
portion of his forty policemen pretty con-
stantly about his person! Smith keeps ii

Deal/L ofJudge Porter, of the U. S. Sen-

“We regret having to announce the death
of Judge Porter, which melancholly event

St. Mary on the l3th iilt. He was it native
of Ireland, a man of abilities, formerly a

Defa.’cali'on of Mr. Kissam.——This is ii
sad evidence of the exceeding bitterness of
an unfaithful course. Mr. Kiss-am has been
third Teller of the Merchants’ Bank for thir-
teen years, receiving the payment of notes
and bills, so that a vast amount of money
was coiistnntly passing through his hands.
His demeanor was such as to make a very
favorable impression in regard to his charac-
ter. For some months past he has been sink-
ing in health, and has remained at his post
with an ll)it’l't'5l.lIlg appearance of sadness,
though evidently more fitted for the confine-
ment ofa sick chamber. He at length be-
carne so ill as to be quite unable to go to the
Banlr,—-and for a few days remained at home.
But on the 31st ofJ:nuary be determined to
make the attempt, though his physician told
him he would not probably live to getthere.
He however found hiiriself too feeble to pro-
cetd, and then disclosed to the Doctor, and
af’.erwarils to the Cashier of the Bank, the
crime which had done so much to break
(l0t\n his health and spirits. He has a \\ ife

was taken every month, by omitting to enter

money received as would balance the defol-
cation, leaving over the entry until the next
day. This operation has been performed
monthly for several years; and such was
his dread ofdetection, that he made the des-
perate rfiort which we have mentioned to
come to the Bink on the last day of Janua-
ry. How much better would it have been to
eat potatoes and salt all his days, and to
bring up his children on the same fare. No
external comfort c:in ever compensate for the
inward anguish of a guilty conscience.

Fun on the Ice -—Yesterday was the great-
est gzila day on our H irhor that was proba-
blv 9'-'er witnessed even by the ‘oldest inhab-
itant.’ Ladies and gentlemen by hundreds
—multiturles of the latter on skates-—and
here and there a ‘striped pig,’ were there ;
and so also were all sorts of ‘turn-outs.’ from
a dog sled up to a four-wheeled vehicle.——
There was some pretty good trotting and
one match that was first r:ite—competitors, ii
Yankee horse, attached to wheels, and a
Canadian pony to runners. The wheels
conquered alter a short but spirited contest—
the pony ‘breaking up.’

teristics in that respect grow in some way or
other out oftheologieal dogmata--the motives
to interfere with which are in many instances
in close relationship with what a foreign review-
or calls “the almighty dollar.” As to Ports and
Wainwright, their dispute has become stale;
nobody cares now about ilie issue, so that they
may bring their columns to the charge asoften
as they lilte,especia|l_v as it is pretty obvious
from the dust they raise that neither ever in-

subject by for the present, to inform the readers
of the Herald that Dr. Uiiderilunk,“Bisli-
up of the Diocese of New York," has
just addressed " a Pastoral Letter to the
Clergy and People of his spiritual charge.'’—
The good Bishop, we learn. from this Pastoral,
has discovered what ti wicked world is lhis‘.—
lle lias been wronged and wounded to the
quick by ilirce other Bishops. to whom he has
uilulrc.-sod a ‘remonsirzirzce, protest and demand.’
The follmxiiig are some passages from this
[oriiiitluble epistlc:
"T0 the Right Reverend the Bishops of
the Protestant Episcopal Church in the-
United. States of America, their brother, the-
undresigned, the Bishop of New York, feels
himself compelled by a-sacred and iiriperioiis
sense of duty to his office and his diocese,
and to the Church and its Divine Head, to
communicate this solemn remon.-trance, pro-
test, and demand. Three of our number, to
wit, the Bishops of Illinois, Vermont and
Ohio, hnvetliooght proper publicly to mrik_e
insinuatioi s and lay charges against the un-
dersigned on points deeply afTecting the
scriptural integrity and soundntss of his
dOCll'll]l‘S, his devotions to the true interests
and welfare of the portion of Christ’s Church
of which he is one of the chief pastors, his
faitlifulncss to his own diocese, and conse-
quently his fitness for the high and sacred
office with which, in the course of God’:
providence, aid by the appointment of His
Holy Spirit, he has been lt)\€Slt'd.
“The Bi.-;l'iop of lllinois has referred in 5
published pamphltt to the aforesaid ordina-
tion as a step tonurds bringing the most
serious evils upon the Church, soiling her
tloctrinal purity, changing esseiitially her
characti-r, blasting her prosperity, and ruin-
ing her institutions. 'l he Btsliop of Ohio
has dc nounced it to his Convention and to the
world as deserving the highest ceusu,ri;, and
fraught uith danger to the ‘Church. and
grounds upon it a virtual threat not to receive
clergyini-n .into his diocese on letters of dis-
uiiisioii from the nndcrsigned,bec-ause oftht-re
being no security for the doctrinal soundness
of the party disiiiissid. The Bishop of Ver-
rriont, besides hiiiiself ci nsuring it at large,
justifies the aforesaid acts of his brethren of
Illinois and Ohio, on the ground- of ancient
allowance in the Catholic Church of one
Bisliop’s interiering in the diocese of anotli. r
when the. latter was in heresy, or otherwise
bringing alarming evil upon the Church.——
This. therefore, is the character aitributed
by him to the undo-rstgned. ‘

demands of his said brethren. the Right Rev-
t-rend Philaiid--r Chase, 1) D. Bishop of
Illinois, the Right Reverend John Henry
Hopkins, D. D Bishop of Vermont, and the
Right Reverend Charles Pctit Mcllvain‘. D.
D. Bishop of Ohio, that if they are honestly
persuaded that the undersi-ned is justly. lia-‘
ble to the charges which they have brought;
or insinuatrd against him, they do forthwith
agreeably to the C.-inon of the General Con-
vention entitled ‘Of the trial of Bishops.’ pre-
sent him for trial: that thus it may be fairly:
-and canonically tested whether they are
triistziken acc-users.” i
This wager ofbaiile is a revival of the casu:
bclli between the American Puseyitcaud Evan-
gelical ariiiies, stiiiiulaierl probably by the
loves ant‘. fishes of the ricti Corporation of Trin-
ii_y Ciiurcli.
Bishop Onderilonk seems confident in the
rigriii-uusiiess of his cause. but he «:umpluins-
bitterly of the anti episcopal treatment he has
receivetl from his brother Bisliups. Bishops
ll seems then. can go out of their way to err in
cttutluct as well as doctrine. The reply of Dr.
Uiul-.-rdoult is drawn up on the principle adopted
by St. Paul when he riiugiiified hiiiis’elf to the
cliurclies; after which he thus obliquely dil-
poses of his "right reverend" detractors:
_ “The necess-t_v for addressing you at this
time is connected with a very . peculiar and
lJflpl't'(.'.l'dt.’nlil(l state of things in our Church.
Evil principles appear to be strt-ngtht-ned in
their leigue against us. Infidel, hevétical,
and schismaiical influences are 'powerlully
at work. There are also enlisted in this
‘-same ranks the interference of the merely
worldly. Careless to what interests they may
be joined, provided worldly iriotives. princi-
ples, and iigrftlttlt-‘S may be brought to bear
upon its vi we and designs. And in unhupc
py . illustration of the infection which re-
uiainetu even in the regenerate, delusion has
solar come over members of the church,
that she h.is within h--rselfagencies tending
to the same result. much more worthy of
those that tt re withotit. Hence have resulted
c-msrqut-nces truly painful to the pious
heart. Many of the. most sacred princi-
ples and requirements of the Gospel have
been subjected to profane if not blaspheinous
