After awhile a compromise was made between the two Houses by the Senate yielding up Father Richie and the House as senting to the mileage. : The Senate probably thought It better that one man should suffer, than that sixty should be out of pocket. .The most unjust, cruel and persecuting malice was displayed towards the veteran of the press. Flogging in the Navy, except by court martial, was also abolished, t wonder whether some of our old salts do not feel as much degraded by losing the pri vilege of lashing Jack, as some South Caroli. nians feel for being prevented to carry their negroes to California 1 Everything depends on the mode of viewing things. Mr. Peters, of New Orleans, was rejected as the original friend of Gen. Taylor. Mi. Nathan Sargent was rejected for the Alpha letters. Mr. Collier was rejected as Collec tor of San Francisco, because the California Senators required it for the peace of the State with whose autho.ity be has come in con flict. Mr. Hayden was rejected as Postmas ter of Boeton, because Gordon, his successor) desired his place, which was convenient, and because Hyden reviled General Jackson, and Mr. Whittlesey came very near being reject ed for his decision on the mileage. He could not swill-swallow the mileage, but swallowed the Galphine. A great many members and not a few Senators have already left the city The Foote and Benton difficulty was honora bly1 adjusted. Foote did not retract, but claimed the privilege of expressing his opin ions and views in the Senate on any public measure, but disclaimed all personal disre spect to Mr. Fremont. This was deemed satisfactory. Foote was richt in supporting the amendment of Mr. Ewing, allowing an appeal from the Board of California Land Commissioners to the Supreme Court of the United States. He expressed his determination to vote against the bill, unless the amendment was agreed to, and so stated in his letter to Col, Fremont, offering any satisfaction the latter Should require. Col. Fremont haa shown muohgood sense in yielding a point which was untenable, and al! parties are satisfied it would not do to prolong a family feud, and Col. Fremont has taken council of wise and discreet men in dropping the subject.. No one knowing either Foote or Fremont will doubt the course of either, and both are men of wide spread reputation. An appeal to arms would not have added to it on either side. More by letter. THE LAST DAT OF TUB SKSSIOX. ' The last day of the session was as usual a very heavy one, and if the fritnd of the Tariff had brought forward their amendments to any of the Bills then under cornideration, I rfoubt whether there would have been mem bers enough sufficiently ill nainred to vote it down. Members and Senators of the most opposite, political, and sectional complexions began to fraternize, ami anything then brought forward would have been sure of be ing considered in a favorable light. The lat day of the session always resembles the blow out of a carnival, and it is fortunate indeed, when, as in this instance, a day of rest fol lows such extraordinary exertions. The Civil and Diplomatic bill and the Ns. vy Appropriation bill wete the only two mea sures whioh seemed to give Congress any trouble at all, but the difficulty in regard to the first of these bills was happily got ever by a species of compromise; the Senate re ceding from the propositions made in favor of Father Ritchie, and the House, having its vindicative spirit thus gratified, receded from its opposition to the constructive mileage. In other words, the Senate sacrificed Mr. Ritchie to get the mileage, and the House preferred to show its liberality to the members of the Senate rather than to Mr. Ritchie, who had ' nullifiers, fanatics and the friends of the Ad ministration generally against him. They persecuted the old gentlemen in a manner wholly unworthy of their body, and the cause which Mr. Ritchie has been sustaining du-. ring this session, and which alone is the cause of all the bitterness now evinced against him by a combination of all the fac tions. Flogging in the Navy has at last been abolished, in spite of the able defence of that lime-honored practice by that pink of milita ry precision and pedantry, Mr. Jefferson Da and that astonishing volume of nautical infermation, Mr. Yulee, who thought flogging "worth a Jew's eye." The vote was a very close one ; but humanity prevailed at last ver the prejudioes of the old Commodores, who, wrth a few honorable exceptions, were willing 4 go to th end of the rope, to save the rope's ending. , This is but the beginning of the end. Other improvements will shortly be introduced into the Navy, which will ren tier that branch of the public service much mora efficient, because mora constantly employed- Constant employment does more for the service (effveare ae wall as man) than the at au4 niea tails. . I am glad thai Congress has ordered the ejection of a Dry Dock in California. This is not a measure for (ha benefit af California, but for the enormous shipping and commer cial interest of the whale country. Osserver. P.

AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION. Let all who are in favor of amending the constitution, giving the election ot the Jud ges to the people, not forget to vote for that important measure. Strong and secret ef forts are now making to defeat this Amend ment, which if lost will only be lost by the supinenesi and neglect of the people, as at least three-fourths are in favor of the mea sure. A secret society is organized at Philadelphia, who arc operating by various means, throughout the country, to defeat the Amendment. The election of the Ju diciary in the states of New York and Ohio operates well, and has given general satis faction. Let us have the same reform in Pennsylvania. The ticket to be voted is as follows: On the outside is the word "Amendment," and on the inside the words "For the Amendment." MR. GAMBLE AND THE TARIFF. The Miltonian and several of the Union county papers are circulating a report that Mr. Gamble had made an ultra free trade ' speech at Lock Haven, and that he was op- posed to the interests of Pennsylvania. We did not ourselves believe the report, as we thought we knew the sentiments of Mr. Gamble too well on this subject, and we could hardly think he would so suddenly change them. We waited however to see what the Clinton Tribune, tha whig paper at Lock Haven would say. It came well charged with a number of articles against Mr. Gamble, and commented on his speech, but said nothing of the mare's nest, which the Miltonian had discovered just in time for the election. We spoke to Mr. Gam ble when in town a few days since on this subject. He denied most emphatically the charges of the Miltonian, and stated that he could pot see bow any sane man who un derstood the subject, could oppose such a modification of the present tarifl ai would afford greater protection to the coal and iron interests of Pennsylvania. We should be among the last to support Mr. Gamble, if he entertained the opinions attributed to htm by the Miltonian. Mr. Gamble is a practical man, and is too well acquainted with the resources of Pennsylvania, to en tertain or advocate opinions opposed to their developement. ttT" The Clinton Democrat published at Lock Haven denies that Mr. Gamble in his speech there advocated free trade, as stated by the whig papers in this neighbor hood. What will satisfy any one of the falsity of tha charge, Is tha fact ; that the "Tribune" tha whig paper published at the same place, although it charges some of the county candidates with free trade Tiews, has made no mention of Mr. Gambles hav ing advocated free trade In hi speech, nor bat it attempted to deny the refutation of tha charge by the CUnton Democrat. ' ,' SUNBURYMEIUCAN AND SHAMOKiN JOURNAL: MURDER. . An awful murder was committed on the person of a young lady early on Saturday morning last, at Rocky Hill, about three miles from West Chester. The young lady was a Miss Rachael Sharpies, about IS years old, who was engaged teaching school. It if supposed she was shot just as she was So the act of unlocking the door of the school house, by some one from behind a tree. She was found lying at the door by tha scholar's covered with blood. A young man about 19 years of age named George Pharoah, was arrested on suspicion on Sun day, having beer, seen in the neighborhood at the time with a gun, and what is most singular the wad of the gun which was found close by, was a part of the Saturday Evening Post, and when the pockets of Pharoah was searched, a large fragment of that peper were found, which corresponded exactly with the portion used for the wad. Pharoah was examined and committed. (jy Adjournment or Congress. After a session of ten months, the longed ever held, Congress was adjourned on Monday last, at 12 o'clock, M. The only measures of importance enacted, were passed within the last few weeks, viz: the admission of California; providing territorial govern ments for New Mexico and Utah ; passage of the fugitive slave bill, and abolishing the slave trade in the district; also abolishing the use of the lash in the navy j the pas sage of the appropriation bill, and the mili tary bounty land bill. The postage bill was laid over again, for want of time. The election is npw close at hand. Next Tuesday will be a busy day among candidates and politicians, fn this county the great contest will be for Congress. Mr, Gamble has been through a portion of our county, and Union county, and has every where made a favorable impression. As a man of intelligence and sound sense, plain and unassuming manners, he could not well do otherwise. He will receive a full party vote, and if there is a fair turn out, will have a handsome majority. If the coun ties of Lycoming, Clinton and Sullivan give but half the majorities we heard esti mated, his election is certain. There can be no difficulty about the redemption of the 13th Congressional this time, if there is anything like a favorable turn out. Let every democrat be at the polls and all will be sale. K? Error. The Pittsburg Gazette classes Milo M. Dimmick, one of the four democrats who voted against the modifica tion of the tariff, as from this county. Mr. Dimmick is from Pike county. A candi date from this county would as soon think ofsigning his own death warrant, as to give such a vote. FIRE AT NORTHUMBERLAND' On Monday evening between 7 and 8 o' clock, a light was discovered in the direction of Northumberland. The alarm of fire wa immediately (riven and in a few minutes the Good Intent Engine, was rapidly on iis way to aid our neighbors in subduing what now threatened to prove a most destructive fire. As soon as we reached the river bank, it was plainly evident that several large and com bustible buildings were burning. The view from the river bank was awfully grand. The evening was perfectly calm and Ihe devour ing element seemed to be rapidly consuming every thing within its reach. The immense volume of flame seemed to be issuing from three distinct buildings and threw directly across the broad and placid bosom of the Susquehanna,- three distinct pillars or columns of light. The light that shone around made Ihe various steeples & a number of houses plainly visible, so as to enable a number of specta tors lo conjecture the exact spot of the fire. The fire broke out in the store-house adjoin ing the stable of Mr. Peter Hansleman's Ho tel, known as the Black Horse tavern, on the comer immediately opposite the Town Hull- The fire soon enveloped in flames the large stabling and the hotel which was a large frame building, from whence it extended down the street to a double house occupied respectively by Mrs McClelland and Mis Voungmau as fancy stores. Miss Youngman saved ull her goods.' Mrs. McClellend lost a small portion of her stock. The fire was evidently ihe work of an incendiary as il broke out in a part of Ihe building but little used, and which none of the family had re cently visited. We are gUI to say that Mr. Hansleman will suffer but little loss by tha fire. His insurance being $1900 A great portiou of his goods were taken but. His money drawer containing 890 in canh is among Ibe missing, having been taken out during the fire. J TWO MORE FIR Eh AT NORTHUMBER LAND. Our eilizeus were sgain alarmed by the cry of fire at Northumberland, on Thursday evening about 8'olock. The Washington and Good Intent Engines, were immediately on the way lo Ihe assistance of our neighbors Tha stable of Mr. Wm. Forsyihe waeeniirely consumed. The store, which was close by was in great danger. While the fire was still burning, the stable attached to the Holt I of Capt. James Lee, was discovered to be on fire, which raged wiih great violence, and which when it fell in, aa viewed from this place, shot up volumes cf fame and sparks high above Ihe surrounding steeples. An attempt bad been made in tha afternoon previous, to fire lha stabling of Burr's Hotel. That this was tba work of an incendiary is beyond a doubt. Attempts wera made to enter several stables by suspi oious individuals, in different parts of the town; An individual was also seen emerg ing from Lee's stable, a few minutes before tba fire broke out.

The letter concludes as follows ; 1 have said that Mr. Ciinant, the agent of the company, declared that ihe rule was that ihe Episcopal service only was allowed on his steamers, and that the captain or an Epis copal clergyman alone mnst officiate ; I have declared that on the recent trip of the Asia, with nine clergymen on board, there was no preaching at all allowed Ihe first Sab bath, land that on the second, a clergyman of the established church of Scotland was al lowed by Mr. Cunard, in violation of his rule, to preach ; I have said that when ap. preached on the subject he lost his temper, and besides much more, said of American passengeis, if they do not choose my line, "damn them, let them stay away," I have said that in the presence of mysell and Prof. McClintock, of New York, he admitted that, loosing hisjemper, he had spoken thus, with the additional remark that "l hey might go to hell," and 1 now add, thnt while apolit-ising for the loss of his temper, he did not a polo, gize for his remaiks upon the American travelling public, but made thrm yet more emphatic.

FIOHT BETWEEN FOOTE AND FREMONT- CONFIRMATION BY THE SENATE. Washington, Sept 93. A dispute occurred last evening, at the Ro tunda, between Senators Foote and Fremont. Mr. Foote directly accused Mr. Fremont ef seeking and urging legislaton over tha gold lands of California for his own private interest and benefit. This Mr. Fremont warmly, re pelled, and said that Mr. Foota was no gen tleman. Foote struck Fremont a violent blow. After a short strucgle they were sep arated. Mr.' Foote's blow brought blood, and there was much confusion. The combat ants were separated by Senator Clark. - ft is currently reported this morning that more se rious results will follow. Mr. Fremont, it is said, has sent a challenge to Mr. Foote. The latter is in bis seat in the Senate; the former is not. The Senate last night received ihe nomina lions for offices of the territory of Utah. Brigham Young, of Utah, is nominated for Governor. Mr. Harris, of III., for Secretary ; Joseph Buffinglon, of Pennsylvania, for first judge ; P. E. Brocchus, of Alabama, lor sec ond. Several nominations for vacant collec torships, registers, receivers, postmasters, &o.( were also sent into Ihe Senate. The Senate adjourned at 9 o'clock, P. M. ' The House adjourned at half past twelve o'clock. The last three hours were spent in a contest over the proposed extra allowance to Mr. Ritchie on his printing conttact. The proposition was thoroughly defeated. There is some expectation that the House will sit for at least a considerable part of Sunday. The Secretary oe the Treasurer, Mr. Corwin, has Written a long statement in com pliance with a resolution of Ihe Senate, show ing Ihe measures adopted lo prevent frauds upon Ihe revenue and what has been the re sults. Ha says The particulars of many cases of the gros sest fraud have been furnished to the depart ment, and the evidence is conclusive that, so long as the present ad valorem system is con Inued, they will prevail. The facilities for ascertaining the true mar ket value ihe great variety of foreign mer chandise in the principal markets of the coun" tries of production or manufacture, are very limited at best, and are lessening rapidly, as merchants of known character are forced to abandon theii business as importers. The means at the disposal of this depart ment are entirely inadequate to such an ex amination of import as will effectually sup press the systematic frauds known to be ex tensively perpetrated. Adequate remedies for these frauds can only be provided by acts of Congress; mainly they attach to the sys tem of levying ad valorem duties upon Ihe market value of merchandise in foreign coun tries, which il is almost impossible for the officers of the customs to ascertain under the most favourable circumstances. Our dependence for revenue is now upon the receipts from duties levied upon Ihe im portation of foreign merchandise. The rates of duty are fixed by law ; but the values upon which they are imposed are left entirely to interested foreigners. Many of Ihe inequal ities of our present system would, in his opinion be remedied by the substitution of home for foreign valuation of dutiable mer chandise. The change would plaoe all im porters upon an equal footing in respect to valuations for duty ; it would both guard the revenue against most of the fiaudment prac. tices complained of, and tend to its in crease. THE FIGITIVE SLAVE LAW IN MASSACHU. SETTS. Worcester, Mass., Oct. 1 There is con siderable excitement here, brought about by a report that there are two alave catchers in town in request of fugitives," it being well known that there are many ranaway slave, among the colored population. SraiNcriELD, October 1. The supposed presence of nlave-catchers in Ihis place, cau ses great excitement. The negroes are arm ing themselves for defence. The town hall is crowded lo excess with excited people, who express aunanimous determination that not a single fugitive slave shall be taken from Springfield, law or no law. Should the at. tempt bd made, of arresting fugitives slaves (of which, il is estimated there at least five hundred residing here,) some hard and bloody fiyhtiiig may be expected.

CAPTURE OF IIGITIVE SLAVES. . Bedford, Oct 1. Ten runaway slaves from Virginia, who loit their way on the ridge of the Alleghenies, eight miles from this place, were discovered yesterday and attacked by rennsylvanians. During the melee two of the slaves wero wounded, one mortally, and the other dangerously. These were captured this morning. Six of them sought shelter in a mountain hut occupied by a man and his wife. The clothes of the fueitives were very ragged, and nearly torn off their backs from coming in contact with trees, in their endeavors to escape unseen The woman of the hut supplied the outcasts plentifully with food, while the husband procured assistance and captured them. He received a reward of two hundred and fifty dollars for their recovery. The remaining two have up lo this time eluded all apprehen sion, and are doubtless concealed somewhere hereabouts. They are closely watched by Pennsylvaniaris, who are eager to obtain the reward offered for them. Large droves of cattle are being driveu eaMwardly. Mail Robdkrt in Pennstlva.nia.
