CONGRESS. v

J -In the SENATE, Mr. Miller presented a
series of resolutions, adopted by the_Leg-
i-slature of the State of_NeW glt-"'59)": .'n.T.¢'
lation to -the policy which the General
‘Government ought to pursue in the matter
of'Rivt=r and Harbor improvement. ‘The
resolutions were conceived in the same
spirit and expressed precisely the some
views as those set forth by the late River

but that little foot of_ the V5. idow s was
one of those feet that will make a man

made for his but, as it continue I e an_ -

Squire thought the \Vidow was poking
fun at him, and got road». But it was no
go--to get mad in such a situation was
deplorable in the extreme‘ and so the
Squire looked pleased again: At last the
‘Widow demanded,-
“Do you wish to speak with me, air, or
some other person ? ’ .,=.=
' The Squire blowed his nose, making it
ring like a post horn, and replied,
“Wal,I thought as beow I’d take a run
over here, and--and—ye—-a-that—.-” and
the Squire stack. The Widow noticed
his confusion, and said,

as heow I wouldn't mind—of-—l was
tliinkin—-you--objections,"and the Squire
felt sick at the stomach. He thought he
had said all he wanted to, but he said
nothincr.
_ “MrfPeeler," said the Widow, in an
tinp_erative tone, “I do not understand you
-—-what is the nature of your businessl
Iff you ilesirel to say anything, say it ; but
i not, won d be obliged if. you would
not encroach ‘upon me with your pres-
ence.”
"O, ye-s,” ksaid the Squire, “I didn't
come tew ma c any presents.”
“You do not understand me, Mr. Peel-
"; 5Vl18tz¢:,l’o you wan’: ?--do you under-

The Squire knew new that the crisis
had ai_'rived—hc turned pink, then de-
cidedly red, and at last white. The Wid-
ow looked more and more beautiful than
cv§r,:ettmg so composedly‘ by the table,
an s owinc-‘in her manner that she was
unacquaintefdavith the real design of the
Squire's .VlSlt. Summoning all his
strength, the Squire delivered ‘himself of
the following:
“I came as beow tetv ax yer—to ax
yer-Mrs. , as if yer would~-could-
Iove me 7” .
The Widow changed color—-a beautiful
glow of excitement pervaded her face, and
‘she replied,
“Mr. Peeler, I am afraid you are labor-
ing under some mistake. 'At present 1
have no idea of getting married, and if I
did, of course you would allow me time to
consider your claims. I would advise
you to go home, attend to your business,
and think no more of me.”
The poor Squire felt somewhat cncour-
aged. He fell at the Widow’s feet—yes
at her feet, and in the most plaintive tones
declared his love. While upon his knees,
a gentleman slyly opened the door behind
the Squire,and approached the spot where
he was kneeling, unnoticed,__uud deinaiidcd
in It thundering tone, C
“What in the -devil do you want 7"
The Squire was on his feet in one sec-
ond. He looked the stranger in the face
-both remained silent, loosing at each
other in mute astoiiisliment. '1 he Widow
burst out in a loud laugh.
-.--“Mr. Peeler,” said the Widow, laugliipg,
“you have made a sinullmistakc, that's
all. That gentleman is my husband--I
am his wife. The village people are a
pack of fools, and I am sorry to say you
belong in the place. As you have no
proper business here, your home is the
better place for you.”
The Squire seized his bat, and “bolted.”
In a few_ moments he was positively in
. bed, at his own home; but no sleep did
he get. He found that he had made a
mistake. The next morning the mill went
on, and the click, clicltety, claclicrty, was
heard as ever. The “"21/ow left the place,
and the poor Squire was left in agony of
soul. Say what you please, the Squire
had loved. In his old days that delightful
feeling came to bless him; but sad indeed,
that he had made a mistaltc.
When you go to Westport, call on the
Miller, for in the long summer days you
will see him sitting at his mill door, recal-
tling a sweet remembrance of the past.-
We have seen him wipe away the tear
from his eye with the rough sleeve of his
coat, when the delightful vision of her
whom he had loved, would steal over the
spirit of his dream. We will say that
man with a_ big heart, go to Wcstport and
see Squire Peeler‘; but do not say one
word about the W1.oovv.

On motion, the Hotisiz proceeded to the
lconsidt‘-Tflllvfl of the bill exempting the
Judges of the Supreme Court from the
‘duty of holding Circuits in the dilic-rent
States during the next two years, in order
that the accumulated business waiting for
adjudication before the whole Court may
be disposed of.
Mr. James Thompson ofilliss. proposed
an‘ amendment to the effect that the ex-
emption proposed for the Judges should
not extend beyond twelve muuths.—-
He supported this ainendment at some
length. ’
The amendment was adoptrd and then
the question came up on the passage of
the bill as aniended, when it was carried.

In the S1:NA'rE,‘little was transacted of
general inteiest. Jefferson Davis present-
ed the petition of Major Borlund asking
for an allowance of the regular atnouiigof
pay to those officers and soldiers who
were taken prisoners by the Mexicans at
Encarnation, and thus prevented for at
long period from engaging in active ser-
vice. This petition was referred to the
Committee on Military Affairs.
la the Housi-: Mr. Washington Hunt of
New York, from the Committee on Com-
merce, reported a bill in favor of remitting
the duties on goods tlcstroyed in the city
of New York during the great fire of 184 5,
which was read twice in Committee of the
Whole.
On motion, the House resolved itself
into Committee of the Whole on the State
of the Union, and took up the bill for sup-
plyiog the deficiencies in the appropria-
tions of the current year. Several amend-
ments were offered. Mr. L‘. J. lngersoll
had the floorfor a speech when the House
adjourned.
\Vi-:oNi;sn.ar. March 8.
In the SENATE, Mr. Webster presented
a petition from certain citizens of Virginia
praying Congress to pass tl law setting
apart the proceeds of public lands to be
employed in the abolition of Slavery. The
plan proposed by the petitioners was that
the money should be devoted to the pur-
chase and manuinission of infant female
slaves. .
Mr. Mason of Va., raised the question
of reception.
Finally, the motion that the petition be
received was laid on the table.
On motion of Mr. Sevier, the Senate
then went into Executive Session.
la the HOUSE, the Speaker announced
preme Court from doing-,_,d_uty as Circuit
Judges until the presenfaccurnulation of
business before the Court shall be dispo-
scd of. ' . S
Mr. Ashley of Arkansas opposed the
motion of Mr._,,Berrien. The‘ subjectwas
one that required mature consideration.
It was an important change in the proce-
dure of the Court which wasproposed by
the bill and ought not to be made without
due deliberation. _In the present circum-
siaiices of the Senate such deliberation
was impossible and be trusted that the
Bill might be allowed to rest until the
more pressing business now before them
had been disposed of. "
In consequence of these suggestions
Mr. Bcrrieu withdrew his motion.
Rev. M r. Gurley made the prayer pre-
liminary to the business of the House this
morning. _ '
Mr. Sawyer of moved to reconsider
the vote of the House relating to printing
Report of the Commissioner of Patents.

On motion of Mr. Crowcll of O. the
Hovsti resolved itself into Committee of
the Whole upon Private Bills, Mr. Broad-
hcad of Pa. in the Chair.
After some time spent without action,
the Committee rose, there being no quo-
rum present.
It was then moved to adjourn, and the
House divided upon the motion.
VVhile the tellers were engaged in the
taking of the question, a quarrel between
Mr. Hurralson of Ga.and Mr. Jones of
Term. broke otit in the shape of a fight, in
whicii the parties employed the weapons
with which Nature had endowed tlicm,
with much industry and effect.
The difficulty sprang up in the following
manner; when they came to vote Jones
charged Haralson with inconsistency.-
Some hasty words followed until Jones
gave the lie.
Enraged at this Harralson returned the
lie with a blow, after which they clinched
each other with great fury.
The confusion at this moment was in-
describable. The Speaker in vain endeav-
oring to restore order, members overturn-
ing their desks as they started from their
seats, those in the immediate vicinity of
the belligerents crowding around and at-
tempting‘ to stop them, added to the noise
of the contest, combined to render the
whole supremely disgraceful; only the
fear lest serious harm might be done to
one or both of the combatants, saved it
from being disgusting.
At last, by the exertions of the other
Members, the brawling Legislators were
separated. \Vben the heat of the quarrel
was somewhat cooled off they returned
to their senses and manifested a degree
of shame for the outrage they had com-
mitted. Each of them then proceeded to
l|’|fl"~8 an apology to to the House; they
aflirmed that up to the moment of the
quarrel a perfect friendship had existed
between them; but of course such a
shameful affair could not be suffered to
end in that manner.
Mr. Palfrey moved that when the House
adjourned it should adjourn to Monday,
the order of the day, which was Mr. C. J.
Ingersoll's motion to reconsider the vote
of yesterday, on the amendment to the
Deficiency bill, striking out the appropri-
ations for new fitlr-'8l()li8, which was lost
yesterday, and which Mr. I. wished to
have reconsidered, in order to obtain
the opportunity of speaking upon the
question. I
Mr. Ingersoll then proceeded to speak
upon the subject and defined his own
position with a great deal of earnestness.
The question was then taken on recon-
sidering ihe motion, when it was lost.
‘ The bill then came up for final action,
as amended, and passed by a vote of 137
Yeas to 15 Nays.
The House then adjourned.

In the SENATE, a variety of petitions

The Senate after having transacted very
little business, on motion of Mr. Scvier
went into Executive Session.
In the Hausa, Mr. Murphy of New York,
presented a memorial re:-pccting lhctaking
of the next Census in 1850. Referred.

The Ssnuirz was called to order today
by Vice President Dallas, punt-tually at
noon. Rev. Mr. Guerley officiated as
Chaplain.
A petition was presented by Mr. Dallas,
praying for the purchase of the estate of
Mount Vernon by the Government and
its preservation and improvement as Na-
tional property.
On inotiou it was referred to the Com-
mittee on the District of Columbia, and
ordered to be printed.
Agreeably to notice, Mr. Yiilee of Flor-
ida, asked and obtained leave to bring in
a bill, which was read the first and second
times by unanimous consent and referred
to the Committee on Public Lands. It
referred to the School Lands in the State
of Florida.
Mr. Mason of Va. from the Committee
on Claims reported a_bill for the relief of
Stalker & Hill.
Mr. Atchison of Mo. from the Commit-
ice on Indian Affairs, reported for the re-
lief. of H. B. Gaither. ’ . "
Mr. Bcrrien~of Ga. moved to take up
Mr. Fuote of Mississippi presented a-
in order that perfect calmness of feeling
}might be restored before business should
‘be resum--d. The motion was agreed to.
Mr. Jacob Thompson of Miss. submitted
‘a resolution for the appointment of a Se-
lect Committee of five to inquire into the
nature, causes and circumstancgs of the
lrecounter, and to report to the House
thereon.
Mr. Stephens of Ga. opposed the ap-
. , .
zpointment of such a Committee.
Mr. McL:ine of Md. announced to the
‘House that the gentlemen involved in this
unfortunate difficulty bad al-ready apologi-
;zed to each other, and that as faras they
‘were mutually concerned the affair was at
an end. _
l\lcssrs. Haralson and Jones, the recent
belligercnts, then shook hands in the
presence of the House. '
A_good deal of discussion on the sub-
ject followed, in which several Members
participated. They contended that the
ldignity of the House required an investi-
gation, with a view to censure or expul-
sion of the offending parties.
Finally, Mr. Stephens of Ga. proposed
a substitute for the resolution of Mr.
Thompson, dispensing with the Commit-
tee. This having been adopted, the apol-
ogy of the parties was entered upon the
Journal of the House, and so the matter
ended. Then, on motion, the House ad-
journed.
Izztei-raring IIzcia’c2il.—-'l‘he Rev. J. Ad
arms, of the New England Conference, :3
relative of the " old man eloquent,”
preached in one of the Methodist Church-
es, in Washington on Sunday morning.
He regarded his visit to Washington, at
that time, as providential, as he learned
from his cousin, J. Q. Adams, the genea-
ology of the family. He has no doubt
that the journal of J. Q. Adams, is the
complete history of the country,‘ from its
birth to the present time. So much
method did he use, he could write while
at Washington to his Secretary in Quincy,
and tell in what box, in what pigeon hole,
and at what page he could find a copy of
a letter or conversation he wished for-
warded to him. On the top of each page
was a square place, in which is inserted
the names-ofpersons who called that day.
Rev. J. Adams was a delegate to the
Evangelical alliance in London, in the
