THE WAR.
= The grand news of the week is, that
..R_u_ssi,a agrees to negotiate on the terms
proposed by the Allies. The first an-
nouncement was made by the Vienna
telegraph to the London Times, in these
words : “Russia accepts the allied prop.
ositions unconditionally. This is an-
It caused immense sensation.
The Public Funds rose three per cent.
, Next day Government published ii
dispatch from Minister Seymour, at Vi-
enna, as follows: “Russia agrees to ac-
cept the allied proposals as a basis of
negotiation " ‘
‘_‘BASIS OF NEGOTIATIONS.”
This qualified term curbed the excite-
ment and led to a fear that Russia was
trying to gain time by deceptive nego-
Lions.
When Esterhazy handed in the Aus-
trian allies note of 2d Dec.; he said he
was not authorized to enter into discus-
sion--—if not accepted before Jan. Bill,

Nesselrode communicated with Vienna
direct, and was informed that the West-
ern Powers would adhere to their deci
sion, and if Russia did not accept the ul-
timatum by Jan. 18th, Austria would
immediately seek to obtain the armed
cooperation of the Germanic Diet against
Russia.
Terrible Act of a Slave Mother.
CINCINNATI. Jan. 28.
’ A stampede ofslaves from the border
counties of Kentucky, took place last
night. Officers had discovered the
place of concealmen oi the fugitives and
proceeded to make arrests As they ap-
proached the house where the slaves
were secreted they were fired upon -—-
Two or three spectators were wounded,
but not seriously. Ohe slave woman,
finding escape impossible, cut the throats
of her children, killing one instantly and
severely wounding two others. Six of
the fugitives were apprehended, but
eight are said to have escaped.

A Card.’
l.A_doptio_n ct:-the Plurality . Rule 2
H Banks Elected Speaker.
-; VVASHINGTON, Feb. 2.
Mr. Smith of Term. said he had here-
tofore voted against the plurality rule,
but as yesterday's vote indicated some
chance of an election as Speaker Of a
man of sound national views, he now
offered a resolution for the adoption of
that rule. The House by 10 majority,
refused to lay the resolution on the ra-
ble. .
The resolution was adopted by a vote
of 113 to 104. Mr. Orr then uncondi-
tionally withdrew his name as the Dem-
ocratic caucus candidate-—there being
new a probability that greater strength
can be concentrated upon his colleague,
Mr. Aiken.
Mr. Boyce moved to reconsider the
resolution.
Mr. Boyce’s motion to rescind the
plurality resolution was tabled by 107
against 101. [Applause]
Mr. Jones of Teun. referring to the
terms of tne resolution that if there is no
election by a majority in the three next
trials, the candidate receiving the high.
est vote on the fourth ‘be declared Spea-
ker, remarked that the Repnb" ans were
prepareti for the contest, and ved an
adjournment until Monday to give the
other parties an opportunity to arrange
their plans.
Disagree-d to——84 against 103.
patient cries of “call the roll.”
Mr. Walker refused to rescind the
plurality resolution. Decided out of
order by 45 majority.
Mr. Payne moved an adjournment.
Refused. He then made an ineffectual
motion to rescind the plurality rule.
The House proceeded to vote: Banks
102, Aiken 93, Fuller 14. Barclay and
Hickman, Dams. voted for Wells, and
Dunn, Harrison, Moore and Scott, for
Campbell of Ohio. Necessary to a
choice, 108.
The 2d ballott, excepting Fuller lost
one, was the same. The third was the
same as the second excepting Aiken
lost one. I
Mr. Fuller of Pa. repeated what he
had said two former occasions, namely ?
That. he was not and did not desire to
be a candidate. One hundred and thir-
ty votes had satisfied him he was not
the choice of the House, and on no oth-
er terms would he consent to take that
im-
position. —
Mr. Barclay remarked that he had
been averse to anything like a coalition
with ‘Know Nothingism, whether it
came from the North or the South. He
asked Mr. Ailiin whether the latter stood
on the Democratic caucus platform, and
whether he had not "written letters to
Humphrey Marshal, making pledges to
the Southern wing of Know Noihings.
Mr. Aiken. I am not a candidate for
the Speahership; if my friends think
proper to place me in the chair, I will
serve them to the best of my ability.
Humphrey Mar§hall. I have only to
say that Mr. Aikin has addressed me no
letter whatever. ,APPlause and cries of
call the roll. The excitement was in-
tense during the final ballot, which is
given below.
Mr. A. K. Marshalll during the call of
the roll, congratulated his American
friends, saying they"iiad fought a good
fight and conquered. There was now
no Democratic candidate in the field
with an offensive caucus platform. Per-
forming his duty as a patriot and not as
a pariizan, he voted for Mr. Aiken.
Mr. Walker voted the same way, es-
teeiiiiiig Mr. Aiken a man with no mean
stain of mere pariizanisin on his skirts
—a man who has not sought office, but
to whom office is tendered, and is true
to the constitution,
Messrs. Paine and Lindley voted for
Mr. Aiken, knowing him to be a nation-
al man.

Other gentlemen vainly sought to
make explanations, the greatest confu-
sion existing.
Several members new

changed their
for so doing.
Impatient cries-—“announce the vote,
announce the Vote." The lobbies were
crowded to suffocation, and the excite-
ment was increased by the startling cry
that a boy was being crushed to death
by the pressure in the galleries. Some
of the members shouted our, "fall back,
fall back,” and 0l.lleI'B "hand him over
the rail.” The boy was at length re-
leased from his imminent danger.
"Announce the vote," was now shou-
ted from all parts of the House.
The Clerk then read the vote as fol.
lows:
Banks 103, Aiken 100; Fuller 6,
Campbell of Ohio 4, Wells 1-
Mr. Benson, one of the Tillers, then
declared that Mr. Banks was elected
Speaker.
Deafenirig shouts followed from the
Republican side and other quarters of
the House. The ladies waved their
liandkerchiefs in the galleries. For sev-
eral minutes the disorder was beyond
description.
Mr. A. K. Marshall raised the ques-
tion that Mr. Banks was not elected,
saying the Clerk had no power to an-
thorize such a result to be announced.
It must be so declared by the vote of
the House.
-71‘-he Clerk explained, giving reasons
which appeared to be satisfactory, for
his conduct.
ME Campbell. dam. appealed to the
honor of the gentlemen to carry the plu-
rality resolution into eflecr, and end this
disgraceful contest-
Mr. Cobb of Ga. regarded Mr. Banks
as virtually elected by a majority of the
House under the pluraiity rule an! the

declared, passed by yi-:as.15{;,

Mr. Banks was, by reqiiest of the

Fuller of Pa.. and Campbell of Ohio. l
He was greeted with loud and emhi2-

silence which followed, said— - l

with fidelity to the interests and institu-

ment, and with impartiality so far as
regards the rights of the members of
this House. I have no personal objects
to accomplish I am animated by a
single desire of contributing in some lit-
tle degree to the maintenance of the
well established principles in our gov-
ernment, in their original American sig-
uificafion—in developing that portion of
the sentiment waoccupy, yio far as we
may do so within the power conferred
upon us, enlarging and swelling its ca-
pacities for beueficent influences at home
and abroad, and maintaining intact in
perpetuity the inestimablc prlqllégus

myself not any other man is equal to
the perfect accomplishment of these du-
tics——I aml therefore, as a man must be
in such a presence——a .-nppliant for your
indulge and support. I again return
my thanks for the honor you have con-
ferred upon me.
Applause, deafening and long contin-
ued, followed,
Mr. Giddings, (republican) of Ohio,
being the oldest member of the House,
administered the oath to Mr. Banks, by
request of rhe Clerk.
Mr. Stanton, ' (republican) of Ohio,
then offered thcl following resolution :
Resolved, That the thanks of the
House are emidently due, and are here-
by tendered, to John W. Foriiey, for
the distinguished ability, fidelity and
impartiality with which he has presided
over the deliberations of the House du-

This was unanimously adopted, and
the House adjourned.
The Eudora I?I}oge'ne.--No fa rtlier
legal evidence has been obtained against
the negro committed for the supposed
murder of the Captain and mate, and it
is said, that no trial will take place, ex-
cept for scuttling the vessel. The fail-
ure to find the bodies prevenls the crime
of murder being laid to his charge. All
the evidence consists in finding a piece
of flesh and the bloody garments of the
deceased. Since the coal has been re-
moved, it isthought that the place has
been discovered where he chopped the
bodies in pieces. Indentations are found
made in the deck by a hatchet, and hair
and small . fragments of flesh in the
marks. Yet there, it is said, furnish no
grounds for conviction, The negro is
in prison, and feels perfectly safe. He
will be punished for scuttliug the vessel
to the full extent of the law.

‘Banks Elected Speaker.
We rejoice in being able to announce to-day
the organization of the House and the election
of N. P. Banks to the Speakership. A coali-
tion bad been formed between the Southern
Americans and the Administration men, and
confident of success they voted the plui-all
rule, but in this the wicked were caught
their own craftiriess, and Banks was elected ‘y
9. plurality of three votes. We give a full ac-
count of the proceedings elsewhere: The
friends of freedom, in the Hoiise, are now am-
ply repaid for their firmness and long suffering
—-they have fought the good fight--kept the
faith and the victory is won. The moral les-
sons of‘ this contest are yet to beileveloped,
but its influence will last for years, and the
haughty at-ogaiice of the South, humbled as it
is, will be far less domineering in the future.

Of all the Popular Lecturers before the poo‘
ple. there has been none whose popularity can
compare with that attained by Mr. Richmond.
He not only possesses the advantages of having
gone over the ground of his lectures in person,
but seems also to he possessed of a peculiar
quality of mind and of expression in his deli-
niations of persons,placcs and things, which
gives an irresistablc charm to his entertain-
ments. He was the war correspondent of the
London Times, and as siich won enviable lau-
rels in England, and the press in every city in
which he has lectured in this country. teem
with commendatory notices. These fuels and
the additional circumstances of his having been
once a resident of Norwalk, and personally
known to many of our citizens, will give him
a most cordial and enthusiastic reception
here. In the opinion of many. the closing
of the Course by lift. Riclimorid will verify the
old adage, °‘ it bad ht-ginning makes it good

Union School Meeting.
_ he proposition submitted to the meeting of
e above Society on Saturday Evening week,
to heat the Building with Steam, was carried
by a vote of 42 to 19. We are most heartily
rejoiced at this result, believing it to be a
great desideratum in point of safety and econ-
omy, and more than all, in health to the chil-
dren. Since the iuvention of this system by a
citizen of New Haven, it has come into very
general use, many families tearing out their
hot-air ‘furnaces and substituting the steam
heater. The fuel consumed in the kitchen of
an ordinary family is said to be sufilcient to
beat the entire house, and in regard to health,
it is claimed to be superior to any of the pres‘
ent modes of heating buildings by means of
hot air or coal.
There seems to be some misapprehension
existing in the community as to _the origin of
the fire, and to whom blame properly attaches.
It would seem that the Builders are responsi-
ble for the accident in leaving a quantity of
litter of saw-dust and shavings in close prox
imity to the fines. Certainly no one connected
with the present management of the School
could have foreseen or prevented the occur-
rence. The Steam Heaters will be put in, and
the School he opened again in the course of it
few weeks.
5‘ Who shall say that printers, who are
sure to get more duns than dollars throughout
the live-long day-do not occasionally find
their merits appreciated and their worth ac-
knowledged in tangible shape. Such was our
good fortune on Thursday last, when reminded
that 7‘ we still had a friend,” by the arrival of
a fine, fat pair of 1‘ Prairie Chickens” from our
old friend S. H. Bailey, way down from among
, those naughty Missourians. _ They arrived in
capital condition, friend B.: their oleaginous
backs and unctious breasts, added to the gen-
eral lnternal diffusion of a proper degree of
the adipose, made the printer a repast which
rendered it useless for any ordinarily fed mor-
tal to claim our atten tiou for that day. Thanks
to you, friend B_alley--may you live a thousand
years to send us similar presents, and may
your dreams never be disturbed by those vil-
lisuous--“ Border Rufiians.”
P. S.-—We have an intimation that some
monster trout»--way up from the frigid region
of Saginsw—are en route for our larder. A
due announcement of their arrival will be
made, so that our. neighbors may make due al-
lowances should we be found taking on airs.
Q The public’s old friend and favorite,
who has for long a time supplied the “ sin-
ews of Steam for the New Haven Co.. we are
glad to state, i now most capitally located at
Stamford, where he keeps “ open house” for
all who wish ii. good supper, a roast, a stew or
a good cup of Java. . His “ Cornucopia” is one
of the most gratifying“ Institutions” of our
enterprising and go-ahead sister town. Long
may they remain “ one and inseparable.’-‘
y We would call attention to the adver_
tisemeut of Messrs. Waterbury and Duncan,
who have resumed their former branch ofborse
shoeing, at the old stand. When we consider
the number of horses lanicd and absolutely
mined by ignorant smiths, in belialfpof the
poor dumb brutes, we rejoice that intelli-
gent and competent_shoers may be found.

The new Cantata entitled “Spring Holiday,”
given by Mr. Prowli.l.’s Juvenile Class last

State Agricultural Society Medal.
Mr. Dyer, the Corresponding Secretary of
the State Agricultural Society, has hadavery
handsome medal got up, fac siinilies of which
are to be awarded by the Society at their au-
nusl fairs. The die was struck at the United-
States Mint, Phiadelpliia, and is really a bean-
tiful piece of workmanship. The device on
the face, is the State coat of arms, resting up-
on an anvil and sheaf of grain, with three
bull’s heads in the centre; at one side of it is
a female figure, representing agriculture and
horticulture, and at the other a female figure
representing the mechanic and manufacturing
arts. Over the coat of arms is a slilcf of grain.
On the reverse isa wreath with the inscription,
“ Conn. Agricultural Society, Iucor. May,
185?.” The Gold Medals are to be somewhat
similar. though not precisely like the silver
ones. The work is most beautifully executed,
and the designs are strikingly appropriate.
CONGRESSIONAL Fiunr.--An iiifray took
place in Washington, on Tuesday, between Mr.
Rust, of Arkansas and Mr, Greeley, of the Tri-
biiric. The Attack was made by Mr. Rust, as
Mr. G. was leaving the capitol, for the Na-
tional Hotel. Several blows were infiictcd on
G’s head with the fist, and on his arm with a
stick. The affair grew out of some structures
in a letter wrtten by Mr. G. and published in
the ’l‘ribiine, on a propositions made by Mr.
Rust, in the House.

the same car with Ilorace Greeley tells the

a two story building, 40 ft. by 50 ft.,
and was built for the sum of $3,500,

were held in the afternoon {ind eveiiiiig,
The afternoon exercises were for the
children, who assembled from the vil-
lags, and the surrmmding districts, and
_with a few of the parents filled the large
upper room. Prayer was offered by
the Rev. Mr. Husiml, after which ail-
dresses suited to the occasion, were
made by Mr. Per-.l:, Principal of the
South Norwall; Union School, and the
Hon. John D. Piiilbrick, Superinten.

The exercises of the afternoon were
enlivened by good and appropriate mu-
sic by the Glee Class of the Village
School.
In the evening the room was densely
filled. The Rev. Mr. Williams gave an
eloquent address on the general st1Lject
of Education. He was followed by the
Hon. Mr. Philbrick, who, held the al-
tentioii of the audience for nearly an
hour by an able and pointed address up-
on the prominent. topics in the cause of
Education. He was followed by Mr.
Peck, in a brief and appropriate speech,
after which the audience retired, iiaving
evidently been highly entertained and
delighted. The exercises in the even-

singing under the care of Mr. \V. G.

Our latest returns show that during the
iast quarter we have imported five mil
lions more goods than in the last quar-
ter of 1854. The commencement of
the year has increased the amount, and
if we should happen to have short crops
next Summer, our national pocket will
soon grow lank and lean. The dwel-
lers of the hills and valleys can alone
control this tendency to extravagance.‘
They are the great governors of our
machine, and they should see to it, that
-its capacity is not overtaxerl.
The following tables are instructive ,
Total imports of Dry Goods at port of
Nev.’ York, for week ending Jan. 24th;

During the past week we have had
a varieiy of lectures upon various sub-
jects, and among others upon "pegging
boots and shoes. The lecturer advoca-
ted the establishment of great shoe buil-
ding communities in and about New
York, with a view of affording work to
the unemployed, and driving away the
monopoly of ‘that trade from Boston and
vicinity, to New York. The boys on
Randall's Island have him very success-
fully employed by the city in this branch
of industry. The following are from
the late census returns of Essex Co-,
Mass., in which are situated the towns
of Lynn, Haverliill, Janvers, Salem,
Marblehead, Newbiiryport, &c.: i
No. of males employed, 15.105
No. of females employed. '19 395
No of pairs manufactured, 21.-540.664
Value of manufacture, 312180.810
This is for the year 1855, and is some-
what below the truth. This probably
exceeds the slice inaking of any country
in the world- It will be observed that
the humbsr of women employed ex-
ceeds that of the men, No doubt £0
"peg, peg, peg!” would to them bea
pleasing variation from the “stitch,

Some of the most ornate of our mar-
ble palaces of merchandize on Broad-

the stitching sisterhood. Persons hav-
sing the noble piles of Stewart and Dev-

of male and female toilers. The im-

probably as many mor'e dependant iipou

upon my lungs, confined me to my bed for several
weeks ; and when I recovered, I was so much oppressed
by difiiculty in breathing, thot I was often unable to

extreme, and judging from tbeinefiicacy of thereiuedies
used, I supposed the disease incurable. Being persua-
ded to try a. bottle or ’

without the least confidence in its efiicaoy, I found the
difiiculty almost entirely removed before one bottle was
