THIRTT-FinST lO!GRESS-ls eaele.
Washington, March 8, 150.
Mr. Foote rose to wake au explanation,
which he premised with a notice that he
hould, on Thursday, after the patch of Mr.
Tebster,.ask the Senate to proceed to the
organization of hie proposed meeting of thir
teen member,' to settle all agitating ques
lion.. After passing an eulogium opon Mr.
a1 ihat portion of that Senator
-.ii. tiA read that portion
peech, In which he alluded to some amend
montpf the constitution restoring to the South
it. equilibrium a. necessary to the settlement
of the question. He denied lhat euch an
amendment would be indispensable to such
ettlement. He had desired to settle these
...iintinir nncstions at once, and not to wait
n amendment of the constitution for that
purpose. He had thought that the strong
ground of the South was. that she nsks tioth
ing but what the constitution gives her but
here was a proposition not to maintain what
tha South has under the constitution as it is,
but what she would have if that instrument
be amended in a particular way.
Mr. Calhoun here entered the Senate
chamber and took his scat.
Mr. Foote proceeded with tome remarks
in reply to Mr. Calhoun's attack upon the
North. As a whole, there were in me w
INOrtn. AS ft vwiiiK-,
many lovers of the Union, who had ever,
always would stand up in behalf of the c
ana
con-
rttrhi. f)f the South. J'.ven now
the patriotism of the North was being aroused
in hehalf of the South ; and, for one, he could
not sit in his seat and hear the language of
general decrial in which his friend from South
Carolina indulged.
Mr. Butler said he had. not uruterstoou ....
colleague to state an amendment of the Con
titmion. It would be a sine quo turn of a
ettlement. He did not understand him to
express the opinion, that if the Union was Jo
be perpetuated, some measure ought ro be
taken, which would give the South not only
their rights, but a sense cf security in the
Union. ,
M, Calhoun arose, much auitnled, and ob
jected to Mr. Foote's having called up this
matter in his absence. He did not even
know what the Senator had charged him
with. Had he charged him with disunion,
or intimated it
Mr. Foote explained that he had carefully
avoided any iutcution 'o cast such imputation.
He repeated his fust remarks, and in conclu
sion denied that Mr. Calhoun was his leader.
He stood by and (or himself. He, too, rep
resented a sovereign State. It was proper
for him so to do, and he would fulfil his duty
as such, fearlessly and without favor. He
would brow-beat, menace, threaten, insult or
hector no man, and would allow no man to
brow-beat, menace, insult or hector him.
He and the Senator differed, and his (Foote's)
constituents would not sustain the Union ad
vances made by Mr. Calhoun in the particu
lar alluded to.
Mr. Calhoun denied that he had ever pro-
posed lobs a leader of any man, or of any
party. Ho did not profess even to belong to
any" party. He spnke for himself only, and
wanted his views to go out to the country as
they were in themselves. He has stated no
sin qua non, nor alluded to any. Ho had
.aid lhat if the Union was to be preserved
it must be done by conceding to the South
her rights. He had said that the great ob
ject of his speech was to show that great dis
content prevailed at the South, and its cause
must be removed before peaeo and harmony
ceuld be restored. He did not assume to
name ony sine qua nnn of settlement, but he.
would say that as things now stood, the South
could not remain with safety in the Union,
and he appealed to Mr. Footo to say whether
she could do so without some additional guar
antee were given her. Could she remain
with no equality and no means of protecting
herself.
Mr. Foote repli-.l, expressing his belief
that the South could honorably and safely re
main in the Union, under a compromise such
us he believed could be made in ten days,
and without any amendment of the Constitu
tion. Mr. Calhoun admitted that the difference
was one of opinion, and he denied that he
had decried the North as a mass.
Mr. Foote, (interposing) read the passage
in Mr. Calhoun's speech, in which bo says,
"every portion of the North entertains views
or fcelinys more or less hostile.' no ue
aired simi.lv to say, that he did not agree
with him on that point
Mr. Calhoun insisted upon the accuracy of
hi assertion. He must judgo men by their
rmt their professions. It was idle for a
man to profess to love the Union, while h
failed to observe the Constitutional stipula
tious. He referred to the irregular manner
in which Mr. faote had brought up this mat.
tor as unkind.
Mr. Foote denied any unkind feeling or in.
tention. He had only desired to tako the
opportunity to make the explanation before

Gonr.ri Lady's Book, asd Tnt Amssica.
Those of our reade r who would like to subscribe
for this elegant monthly periodical, can now do so
at very small cost The Lady's Book is pub
lished at $3 per annum, but aa an inducement,
which we are enabled to hold out by means of an
arrangement with the publishers, we will furnish
the Lady's Book and the etunbury American, one
year for $3,50 cash in advance, to those who may
wish to subscribe.
Gorki's Lady's Book. We received the
monthly number of this periodical while in Phila
delphia. Godey's book must always take the
lead, as no expense or pains is spared in making
it in every respect what it was designed to 1,
emphatically the Lady's Book. No one who is
not acquainted with the fact can imagine the vast
amount of labor and capital expended in petting
up the 60,000 copies of this periodical which ii
the number now published. The present num
ber contains about twenty embellishments and
contributions from upwards of thirty of our best
American authors.
fly An apprentice to the Printing busi
ness wanted at this office. A good boy of
about 11 or 15 years would find a good
situation.
fly The editor after an absence of five
weeks has again resumed his post.
fly Winter has again come upon us in
sober earnest and in such a garb as not to
mistake its character. On Saturday last
the weather would have done no discredit
to the mildest and balmiest days of May.
During the evening there were indications
of a change. In the morning we woke vpt
40 miles from home, to resume our journey,
when we discovered winter arrayed in all
his terrors, around us. The snow storm
continued nearly all day. The snow in
this neighborhood was about six inches
deep, hut the roads were too rough to make
it available for good sleighing.
On Wednesday we had another severe
snow storm which put a wintry face on
every thing, and made walking almost im
practible. fly On our first page will be found co
pious extracts from the speech of our young
friend John B. Packer, Esq., the represen
tative from this county, on the subject of
the election of the Judiciary. It is an able
fibrt on a subject of deep importance to
the people at the present time, and is cred-
table alike to the talents and ingenuity of
Mr. Packer, who is one of the youngest
members of the House. We regret that
our columns will not permit us to publish
it entire. The bill will pass by an over
whelming majority, probably not more than
four or five votes will be cast against it.
The people have willed that the Judges shall
be elected, and they as certainly will be,
as soon as the act can go into operation.
The legislature a few days since
adopted an amendment to the Banking law
prohibiting the circulation of all notes under
ten dollars, not issued by any of our Banks.
This will rid us of the Bmall note currency,
the place of which will be supplied by
silver and California gold.
fX?" Opening of the Canals. The
navigation of the canals will be resumed
earlier this season than any time within
our recollection. The water was let in
the Eastern division on Friday the 1st inst.
On Thursday last the Susquehanna and
outer aivisions were oneneu. mere u
every indication that a fair business will be
done the present season. Philadelphia has
been doing for several weeks past a heavy
western business.
HoMffrATIIIC MEDICAL COLLIDE.
The second annual commencement of this
institution took place on Saturday last at
the Musical Fund Hall, Philadelphia, in
the presence of a large and brilliant assem
blage, consisting principally of ladies.
The exercises were interspersed by a selec
tion of excellent music by Johnson's Baud,
The proceedings were opened with prayer
by the Rev. J. L. Burrows. The valedic
tory address was delivered by Dr. Wm. S,
Ilelmuth, professor of Homoeopathic insti
tutes and practice of medicine. The Presi
dent, Judge Parsons, prefaced the confer
ring of degrees by a few appropriate re'
marks, in which he adverted to the success
that had attended the establishment of the
first Homoeopathic College in the city,
which though scarcely. two years old, had
a matriculating class of 55 and 20 graduates
while that of the previous year was only
15 students and 6 graduates. A novelty in
this occasion was that the degrees were
conferred in English instead of Latin, as is
customary.
0" The Senate apportionment bill makes

SUNBURY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN
THE ftttw tOtNTT OF FRKELAND
AND
THE CAUSES OF ITS ERECTION. ,
The Senate hat reported b bill for the
erection of s new County to be called
"Freeland," out of Union, Northumberland,
and Columbia. .We met with a number of I
old friends at Harrisburg a few days since,
who, it was said were boring for the neW
county. . The solemnity and gravity with
which they urged their claims, was suffi-
cient evidence of their deep seated grief.
The legislature if they have any bowels
of compassion will grant the prayer of the
petitioners without delay. - -
Their grievances are certainly mtolera-
it rf-t..ta.s. . I l I
oie. uniy to in.nK mat men in mis cm.-
tzed nge, being obliged to travel 14, rqiles
over a dead- level in order toget to the Halls
of Justice. Can human forbearance endure
it ? The grievances of the South are no
thing compared to this. We should not be
surprised to hear that our up river friciids
had resolved to meet in convention, for the
"peaceful dissolution" of the county, if jus
tice is not speedily done them. Our friends
in Milton are probably the worst sufferers.
The luxuriance of the soil supplies them
not only with an abundance of the neces
saries for the "corporeal," but for the "in
corporeal" body. Lawsuits grow almost
spontaneously, or at least with as much
rapidity as their melons and cabbages, and
what is better, the harvestersare not few in
number. Milton has become famous for the
number of its lawyers, and right clever fel
lows they are. We have long sympathised
with them individually and collectively on
account of their grievances and oppression,
the aggregate of which would overthrow a
monarchy. Let us mention but a few of
them.
Our old and highly esteemed friend Mr.
uepmirn, u is wen Knpwn was compelled

to withdraw from practice, on account of

otary and the Sheriff. Friend Pollock it
is said is fully conscious of the wrongs they
suffer, and would not so regularly favor us
with the light of his countenance, but that
his physicians deem a long journey abso
lutely necessary for his health, which has
suffered some in consequence of the cares
ncident to carrying the weight of the 1 3th
Congressional district on his shoulders,
The objections of our friend Wolfinger
who is a regular attendant, are more of a
domestic character. The cares of a lare
family render it extremely unpleasant for
him to leave home ; besides he has an utter
aversion to bad liquor, which he strangely
magines abounds in this place. This fool.
sh prejudice will, no doubt, some day,
drive him into the ranks of the teetotalers.
The objections of friend Lawson are not
of so serious a character. As he generally
rives a fine pair horses, and is fond of stir-
ring about, time and distance to him is not
much of an object.

fly The Packets will commence run-
ning in a few days. They will not run
further than the junction where they will
connect with the Pennsylvania Rail Road,
They will start and arrive at Northumber-
land at about 2 o'clock in the night. Th
Packet will arrive at the junction about
11 o'clock, A. M. and reach Philadelphia
early the same evening. The stages from
Northumberland will leave about 4 o'clock
in the morning, reach Pottsville for dinner
and in time for the afternoon train, and ar-
rive at Philadelphia between 5 and 6 o'

As might be expected, Jesse is highly in

Mr. Burns, who was nominated and elected
in opposition to his will. He charges him
with squandering the public money during
his administration. Mr. Burns has been
one of the most active and energetic Canal
Commissioners we ever had, and the receipts

will compare most favorably with those
during the period when Jesse hadacontrol-

SETTLEMENT OF THE DUEL.
The duel between Col. Davis of ths Senste
snd Col. Bissell of the House, that was to
have taken place, as is generally known, has
been settled) and a part of the, correspondent
of the Ttibunt gives the following as the facts
of the esse) which sre not" altogether made
plain by the statement df the friends of the
parties.'
After Bissell's speech Davis wrol him.s
latter asking whether he had said anything
derogatory to ihe honor of the Mississippi re
giment. Bissell replied, staling what he bad
said, which was of course a simple reiteration
of the lantfnaye of his speech. These two
letters are those which have since been pub
lished by Messrs. Inge snd Shiolds. Davis
then wrote a second letter, demanding fur
ther explanations. Bissell replied, declining
to give any, and referring Col. Davis to Gen
Shields as the channel for any other eommn
nicatious. Hereupon a duel was arrangci
with muskets at forty paces, not fifteen as
has been reported. This the Piesident the
father-in-law of Davis heard of and he got
out a warrant to stop the proeeedingsi This
made it necessary to sollle the matter peace
ably, but Bissell was stiff and refused to re
tract or apnlnirise for anything. It was final
ly arrangt-d by the seconds, withdrawing Ihe
second letter of Davis and the answer of Bis
sell, and publishing the other two for the en
IL'htenment of the public and the satisfaction
of Mississippi honor. And on that basis ihe
parlies were reconciled, at least to a degree
sufficient to preclude Rny farther necessity
for one shooting the other.
The correspondent of the Herald says:
The correspondence had wrought lip bolh
Col Bissell and Col. Davis to the fighting
point. Davis had challenged, BisselFhad ac
cepted, and muskets were to be used. Bis
sell Tote out his will, and, we suppose, Da
vis did the same. But late in the evenins, a
lady, boarding at Ihe same house with Bis.
sell, got a hint of Ihe affair, and with a friend
she posted off to General Taylor, and dis
closed the plot against the public peace. Old
Zack sent for Capt. Goddam, chief of police,
and gave him his orders. Capl. Goddard,
accordingly, stationed a suffiiMfit nnmber of
his men Hround the houses where the belli
gerents boarded, to cut ofTlheir.ecape. Bis
sell was kept in; but Davis eluded the police
by assuming a woman's dress, n calico town
a straw bonnet, anil a slmwl, and to complete
Ihe disguise, it is said he was also provided
with a bustle. He was intercepted, however,
by his friends, and the whole subject matter
in dispute wasdemaded by Ihe Presidenl. It
was laid before him. He declared that they
were bolh riehl, and bolh wrong, that bolh
regiments had done theirdnty, and that there
must be no fighting. Mr. Davis was induced
to withdraw his challenge, and Mr. Bissell
disclaimed Ihe intention to give offeneeJ and
the affair was amicably adjusted.
Lot' is Napoleon. It is said that Louis Na
poleon, during his sojourn in the United Slates
had conceived an unalterable attachment for
a Mrs. It , of Baltimore, who, after hav
ing followed him during all his unfortunate
enterprises and exile, bus finally shared his
good position, and dwells now in a very ele
gnnt hotel in the Rue de Cirque, near the
Elysee National. The lady is not only a very
handsome woman, but nlso she is said to pos
sess much wit and grace.
