CONGRESS.
Tuesday, Jan. I. —Neither house of Congress
was in session to-day. The President held
his u ual New Year's Levee, and the Foreign
Ministers and thousands of visiters called to
pay their respects. The city of Washington
was exceedingly gay and anipated during the
day, and the contest for Speinlier was for
moment forgotten.
Wednesday, Jan 2.—The Senate not in
session. In the House Mr. Millson moved the
reading of the President's Message. Mr.
Stanton objected. He thought the President
had been guilty of indecency in thrusting his
message in, the face of members. It was a
most disreputable document, falsifying truth
and the whole history of the government, from
the commducement till now. The whole sub
ject was laid on the table "Mr. Knight, of
Pennsylvania, offered a resolution to elect a
speaker by a pluritlit l y vote, which was lost.—
The 85th and 86th ballotk were then taken for
speaker, but resulted in no choice.
Thursday, Jan, 3.—ln the Senate, Mr. Hale
remarked that he was not in his seat when
the President's annual Message came in, else
he should have objected ,to its reception, as it
was irregularly sent here. He would not
pretend to state the reasons why the President
took such an extraordinary and unprecedented
course; but Yankees were allowed to guess,
and he would by no means presume to say
that the President has taken this opportunity
to go down on his knees to the South, because
several of the Southern States are to hold
Democratic conventions about the Bth of Janu
ary. (Laughter.) If that was the case, he
was'sorry the President had taken so much
pains for nothing, for there is just as much
chance for one of the §enate's pages to be
nominated for the Presidency, as Mr. Pierce.
(Laughter ) The President takes up much of
his Message in. talking about Central Ameri
can affairs; but he (Mr. Hale) thonglit there
was a place in the central part of the United
States, on which the eyes .of the people are
turned with vastly more attention—namely,
Kansas. Mr. Hale, stated on the authority of
Mr. Calhoun, that the Monroe docrine, so
much talVed about, was originally suggested
by the British Cabinet. True, us was said by
the President„acts,lwn4stMed in,Kansas

ing to the maSority: et: ibiti:nntion for the
President to Say,' in effect; that men/Who ,the
with him on that subject are enemies of
the constitution. lle sternly rebuked such an
imputation. God, for the punishment of our
national sins, or the humiliation of our na
tional pride, had permitted Franklin Pierce to
occupy the Presidential Chair, and he comes
down into the arena of the demagogue, strip
ped of every thing which should clothe him
with executive dignity. (Laughter.) Mr.
Wilson offered a resolution, which lies over,
calling on the President for information rela•
Live to the troubles in Kansas.
In the House, Mr. Mace offered a resolution
that the acting doorkeeper of the House be
required to lock all the doors leadin'4 to this
!louse instanter, and keep them -securely
fa•teued till the Speaker is elected, unlez,s
opened for the purpose of letting in absent
members. (Laughter.)
Mr. Mace Skid they had eclesiastical preee,
dent for• this. In the election of a Pope to
succeed JC!ement the Fourth, in 10_18, the
Cardinals were for nearly three years unable
to agree on the choice of a successor, and
were on the point of breaking up, when the
magistrates of Rome, by the advice of St.
Benjqmin, shut the gates of the city and
lathed up the Cardinals until they agreed.—
lle was not so much of a linow , lNothing as
not to acknowledge the binding authority of
this precedent. (Laughter.) If the resoluti.m
is adopted, he ventured to say that the calls of
nature, either for refreshment or otherwise, •
(laughter) would be such as to force no
election of Speaker within ten hours. (ylerri•
' meat.) (In motion of Mr. Boyce, the resolu
tion was tabled: Mr. Walker proposed that
the American party should vote for Mr. Boyce,
of S. C. instead of Mr. Fuller, for Speaker.—
Mr. Dunn appealed to the friends of Banks to
support Mr. Pennington. The House di Ino
entertain either suggestion. Mr o, of
Pa., moved that after Saturday night no mem
ber be entitled to daily pay until a speaker• is
elected. It was received with laughter but
laid on the table. The 00th ballot was gone
through without a choice and the house ad
journed.
Friday, Jan. 4.—Senate not in session.
the Houle, Mr. Dunn again appealed to the
Banks 'Mon to surrender their preferences and
go for Mr. Leiter. Mr. Knowlton replied and
reminded Mr. Dunn and iv few others, elected
on the Anti Nebraska issue, that they could,
if they would, relieve the House from its en
tanglement. The 92d ballot was gone through
without any result.
Saturday, Tan, s.—The Senate is not in
session today. In the HOuse Mr. ttheridge
7,441 the action of the Itouso demonstrated two
propositions: First, thdt, the gentlemen voted
lhixtr fur tie c familti (firth>,

for have enthusiastic friends; and, , , , secondly,
that if either is elected, he will not decline
the honor of the chair. He did
,not believe
that any successful candidate would so con
duct himself as to occasion .just reprehension
of his official conduct. In the present con
dition of the public mind, it would be injuri
ous to the country to elect as Speaker a
gentleman who is the embodiment of the ex
treme sentiment of either section, and he pro
posed, as a compromise, Mr. Millson of Va.,
who was opposed to the alien suffrage feature
in the Nebraska bill, voted against its passage,
and was not in the Democratic caucus which
nomininated Mr. Itichat:dson. He appealed
to moderato and conservative men to assist
him in puting an end to this strife.
Mr. Broom could not agree with Mr. E.her
idge to descend from their exalted position
and pursue the course suggested. Let all who
were elected on the paramount issue of Ameri
canism come together, and agree upon a can
didate, or let the llouse adopt the resolution
he would offer, namely, that the friends and
supporters of the prominent candidates for the
Speakership he requested to withdraw them
from the further action of the Honse, and that
the membeis representing the dWrent parties
in the House meet, each party appointing a
committee of five, with a view to selecting a
cortnpromise candidate for Speaker.
Mr. Millson expressed surprise at the an
nouncement of his name in that connection,
and requested Mr. Etheridge to withdraw the
nomination.
Mr. Stepluihs opposed Mr. Broom's resolu
Lion as wholly impracticable:", Mr. Etheridge
finally withdrew his motion. A long and de
sulitory debate then ensued upon the merits of
the several parties, particularly Americanism,
and Mr. Broom's resolution was then laid ou
the table. The House then voted twice for
Speaker, (the 94th ballot) without a choice;
the House then adjourned.
Last week we published au account of a hor
rible murder by the "Wakemanites of New
Haven : but the most horrible murder that ev
er took place in the State of Connecticut, or
perhaps in the civilied world, was pi4-lietra
ted on Monday, in the town of Woodbridge, in
that State, about eight miles from New Pa
wn. It was a far more atrocious murder than
the one so recently committed by Samuel Sly
and the gang of Wakemanites.
About 10 o'clock on Monday Mr En4e.ll
Sperry, of Woodbridge, left his home, and nag
proceeding through a piece of woods near his
house, with his horse, and aleigh„and, when
pear a little brook, in a solitary ''part•of the
woods, was attacked by a man named Chas.
Sanford, and knocked down and most brutally
murdered. '
Sanford had anaxe iu his hand with which
he struck Mr. Sparry over the right eye, in
flicting i fearful gash, and prostrating him be
side the road. . Ile then snuck him again with
the head of the axe upon the hack of his head,
and then deliberately attempted to chop off
his head, nearly severing it from his body,—
It was connected with his body only by a lit
tle skin at the back of the neck. The horse
of Mr. Sperry was allowed to pass on the road,
and after proceeding by the house of Mr. Sam
uel F. Perkins, halted at a shed near by. Mr.
Perkins, 'thinking all was nut right, went in
search of Mr Sperry, and found the body ly
ing beside the road, with every indication that
he had been waylaid and murdered.
It seems that after murdering Mr. Sperry,
Sanford went to the house of Mr Hmberfield
and entered it. and while ho (Mr. Umbertield)
was sitting by the stove in the kitchen, he
struck him with the saute axe with which lie
murdered Mr. Sperry, and, after breaking his
scull, nearly severed his head from his body.
The family net up the cry of "Murder !" but
he told them to stop 'their noise, or lie would
chop their heads (drake. lie .Ikent out of
the house to wipe the blood off his axe report
the snow; and while ho was out the family
Listened the door and prevented his getting in
again. Ile then went into the woods, but was
soon pursued by several neighbors, who suc
ceeded in arresting him after a bloody fight,
in which Mr. Lucius Doolittle came near get
ting killed. °
This Charles Sanford is a fanatic, who has
formally attended the meetings of the iVake•
uninires in Hampden.' Ile was vbjects to fits
of insanity., and wits probably innne when he
committed these dreadful murders. lie con
fessed having murdered both Mr.' Sperry and
- Mr...Umbertield, while on the way to jail. 'lle
said he had a cramp, and if he had not mur,
tiered Mr. Sperry and Mr. Umbertield" the
cramp would have killed him. Mr. Hiliber
field was a man of seventy one years of age,
and Mr. Sperry was sixty-nine . "years
Mr. Sperry was beloved and respected by all
who knew him Ile was the father of lion. N.

THE aumons OF PEACE.
New York. Jan, 7.—The mails having failed
between this city and Philadelphia to connect
I send you full details of the news by the
Arago
Mt. Russel, the Times' correspondent in the
Crimea, alludes in strong contradictory lan
guage to the statements made by Dr. Davega,
in reference to the Russian war, and. publish
ed_in the New York and English journals.
He says: "No, no, doctor, you may be a Yam+
kee Muscovite of the genuine free deposito
typo, but you cannot tell these little jibs
about your dear comrades end expect Europe
to believe them." In concluding, Mr. R.
says he is only led to make ltis remarks upon
the doctor's statements " lest the' readers of
the New York Herald should take them all
for gospel."
NO. aP.
Rumors of peace
,were still rife in Franco
and England, and it seemed certain that both
Russia and Austria were aware of the fact.
A seperation between France and England .
was not to be thought of, and if the latter has
consented to forego any considerations which
she mas have considered essential to attaining
eir object both have had in view, it is said
It be "moromt of deference for, }ter faithful
••C t l y than for any conviction of her own as to
t ie necessity .of the sacrifice." Count Ester
hazy left Vienna for St. Petersburg on Sunday
the 16th, with important despatches, contain
ing propositions for a pacification. This doc
ument is unmistakably distinct, and it is sta
ted to be the intention of Austria in the event
of a refusal of her ultimatum by the Czlr to
withdraw her ambasador from St. Petersburg.
Some of the Continental journals speculate
upon the reopening of the Vienna Conferences
whilst others seem very positive that Russia
will consent to nothing which she has hitherto
rejected.
The Daily News, in reference to Count
Esterhazy's mission, says " Blessed is he who
expected) nothing, for he will not be disap
pointed." The French correspondent of the
Lomton Times, likewise expresses the exist
tence of strong doubts of au acception of the
negotiations by the Czar.
The Invelide Russo announces that Kars
was surrendered to Gen. Muravieiff on the
26th of November. The defiles between Kars
and Erzeruum are held by Rtissians.
The Military Gazetto.of Vienna of the 9th
inst. says :—Gen. Ilebutoff has established his
head-quarters at Kutais, and intends shortly
to resume the offensive-against the Turkish
army of anaklea and Itedault- Kale. The
It'ussiaus have good winter quarters Ia the
valleys, and the army is abundantly supplied
with all it requires by the .supplies from
America, the commissariat paying cash for all
they receive.
In the Crimea snow continued to fall. It
was confirm4 s thnt next spring the English
army of the East will comprise six divisions
and will be divided into two corps do armee,
commanded by generals Campbell and Eyre.
Great arrangements were already being
made in the Baltic ports fur vitualling and
providing the necessary supplies for the Brit•
ish fleet next spring. Contracts have also
been made in Sweden fur the Freuce
and it was reported, also for an accompany
ing army.
THE CLAYTON AND BULWER TREATY.—TILE
OPINION OF STATESMEN.-111 the debate which
arose in the Senate of the United States. on
Ow President's Message, and the :Central A
merican question, Mr. Cass, speaking of the
construction given by the British Government
to the Clayton and Bulwer Treaty, said :
"In the whole history of diplomacy, of the
most tortuous diplomacy, there is no chapter
like that which recounts the conduct of Great
Britain with respect to this identical treaty.
There is none in whi2li an interpretation so s.

Mr. Clayton, who assisted to make the troa-
ty. says :

It
is , wonderful that a,- - bation so enlight
.ened, and of such standing in the world as
the people of Cireat Britain, should have eon
'sowed to permit any ministry to stand in a
-,e.oitroversy on such points as those.' Ido not
Relieve the Brithdi people understandfitheir po
sithin. Ido not know that Lord Palmerston
is heretofore carried things there with a high
hand; but I think that, if the British people do
inolerstand they are to be degraded and die
graced by such miserable quibbling and eiluiv
.oeitting its this they will turn their backs on
Lord Palmerston and his Cabinet ; and any
other set of men that have such an estimate
of what is due to British honor. Ido not be
lieve Englishmen kayo sunk sq.) low. Depend
upon it, sir, there is sonic mis . understanding .
among Englishmen ou this suNect. It is im
possible th bt the people of England can cote.
prebend it. If they they will not suffer
.arts miserablOspecial pleading to dishonor
them, and force us at last into au open war
with them."

adviccs from llavana state that a number of
English and French vessels of war would
shortly renedzvous at the'port of San Juan. A
private letter froin. Havana contains tho sur
mise that ' • t may soon arrive from that
quarter.. Itcan-hrt dly be that either England
or France contemplates a hostile, occupation
of San Juan and the adjoining territory, bat
it is not improbable that an effort may be
mad to prevent the inns of emigrants from
the United States to Niesirawm. Still, there
is no telling what hold stroke of policy Fal
un rston and his French adviser arc about to
inal:o in Central America.—N. Y. Sun.
