Congress.
Our latest intelligence from Washing
ton is dated February the 21th. In the
Senate on Saturday, the Oregon Resolu
tions had been still under consideration,
and the House was chiefly engaged in
matters of a local character. Both Houses
adjourned over from Monday morning till
Tuesday, in honor of Washington's Birih
Day. The Committee of Ways and
Mean in the House of Representatives,
it is expected, will report a new Revenue
Bill in the course of the present week.
The Bribery Case
In a preceding column the reader will
find an account of an attempt at bribery
by a man named McCook, upon certain
members of our State Legislature. Thellar-
risburg Telegraph state? that McCook was

audit was said he had commenced proceed

The cold during several days the past
week was intense, accompanied by high

three feet of snow on the ground, with a
Lrisk north-wester sweeping over it.

Tho Foreign Trows.
The Foreign News which we publish
in to-day's paper is of the highest inter
est. Upon a cursory perusal we deemed
it rather favorable; But from the tenor of
the following paragraph which we find in
the National Intelligencer, it appears that
the editors of that journal have arrired at
a difTerent conclusion;
We have looked carefully through the
English newspapers on the subject of
Oregon, and attentively considered what
has been expressed by leading persons in
both Houses of Parliament, and we con
fess we do not see much change in the
aspect of things, nor any change that can
be regarded as favorable. It appears to
us that the English Ministry stand where
they stood some months ago, in the re
spective declarations of Lord Aberdeen
and Sir Robert Peel; and we apprehend
an impression will be made still more un
favorable on the English Ministry and En
glish mind when it shall be seen that the
Government of the United States has re
peatedly rejected what can hardly fail to
be regarded as terms for a fair and hororable
termination of the dispute.
Wc may add, as another circumstance
calculated to cause deep regret, that the
remarks made by the Presidant, in his
mess3ge at the opening of the session,
respecting the conduct of France, have
produced just the effect which discreet
persons foresaw namely, a degree of as
tonishment at the President's language,
and an impression unfavorable on the
whole, as we greatly fear, to the general
character and conduct of the present A
merican Government. Well may it be
asked, What wisdom, then, in the gratui
thus indulgence of remarks calculated to
avert the sympathy of enlightened na
tions from us and our cause ? On the
whole.we wish that prospects of continued
peace were brighter and stronger.
Clippings and Scribbling.
Cassius M. Clay lectured the other
week to a crowd of upwards of 3,000 per
sons in the city of New York, on the
subject of slavery.
A Pensacola letter writer says, "the
greatest place for living is this city of
Pensacola. Wild tuckies with fat an
inch thick on the ribs, and venison with
the article still thicker ducks, quails,
squirrels, fish and oysters, are brought
into this little shanty of a market,in abun
dance." A petition was recently presented in
the Ohio Legislature from one Noel
praying that a man named Rodebaugh be
divorced from his wife, and that she be
given to the petitioner, in pursuance of a
previous promise of marriage.
War. The editor of the Brooklyn

At Mobile, on the 4th of February,
peach trees having a southern exposure
were already in full bloom.
An Old Coat. Under one of the
pews in the old East Church, in Salem,
Mass., a coat was recently found which
had evidently belonged to one of the Car
penters engaged in erecting the house a
hundred and twentv-eight vears ago. In
one of the pockets, was a gimlet and a
piece'of chalk, and in another a cotton
handkerchief.
Beans have been known to germinate
after a lapse of one hundred years, and
an onion taken from die head of an Egyp
tian mummy, perhaps two thousand
years old, has been made to grow.
In the vicinity of Elyria, Ohio, some
men recently pursued a strange wild ani

six feet eight inches long, and is supposed
to be a species of wolf.
It is stated that an" old lady in Iowa,

Very Late Trom Iexico.
We have received by the packet ship
Norma, Captain Barton, from Havanna,
the Faro Industrial to the 10th ult. It
contains intelligence from the city of Mex

According to these accounts, Paredes
remains in the undisturbed enjoyment of
the power which his military force acqui
red for him, and his course and conduct
seem to make it appear that as far as re
gards the good government, the power
could not have fallen into better hands.
All accounts of revolution, subversive
of his authority, which date prior to the
31st of January, are falsified by the intel
ligence we have received. No movement
up to that date was made, or even appears
contemplated, against the power and au
thority of Paredes. ' ,
At any rate, there is nothing in the pa
per relative to the reported proniwcia

Indian Depredations. Wc leam
that on Saturday last, as a parly of three
men were hunting about ten miles from
East Bay, an arm of the Escambia Bay,
some fifteen miles from this place, . they
were fired upon by Indians. We regret
to hear that one of the party (a Mr. Pitts)
was instantly killed, and his brother se
verely wounded: the 3d (Mr. Silcox) re
ceived no injury, and in company witfuhe
wounded man, succeeded in escaping.
As soon as intelligence of the murder
rea'ched Col. Crane, commanding the for
tifications in this harbor, he despatched a
detachment of men under the command
of Lieut. Donalson, up Santa Rosa Sound
to endeavor to cut off this body of roving
Indians, wha are thus committing depre
dations upon unoffending citizens. We
feel confident that Lieut. D. will give a good
account of the Indians, should he come
across them. We have not yet heard of
the return of the troops. Gazette.
The Mobile Advertiser of the 14th
says:
One of the most afflicting events which
it has been our lot to record for a long
time, is that of the death by. lightning, of
Miss E. A. C. Goodman, which occured
early yesterday morning. The deceased
together with Mrs. Sampson and her
child, were in the same bed. The light
ning struck and passed down the chim
ney, and entering the chamber where
they were sleeping, the fluid seems to
have branched and struck the deceased in
the face, causing instant death; and at the
same time se ttlng kite bed on fire. Mrs.
S. and the child were badly shocked, and
the former considerably, though . it is
hoped not dangerously, burned. A gen
tleman sleeping in an adjoining room
rushed in in season to rescue them from
the flames, otherwise they too, might
have been numbered with the dtad, as
they were so completely paralyzed as to
be altogether helplesa.
Scppressed Correspondence. That
part of Mr. McLane's letter to Mr. Bu
chanan, suppressed by the President in
his communication to Congress, has be
come an anxious subject of enquiry.
The correspondent of the North Ameri
can, at Washington, says: "As consider
able speculation has been afloat in refer
ence to that portion of Mr. McLane's let
ter, in which he refers to his "own opin
ions" as to the preparations of England,
and which is suppressed from the public
eye, I have sufiirient reasons for stating,
he declares it to be his candid conviction,
that they had no reference to a difficulty
with the United States, were prosecuted
in compliance with former appropriations
and contracts, and would have been com
pleted, whether this dispute has arisen or
not. And I venture to stale farther, that
General Cass was apprised of these facts,
when he made his last belligerentspeech,
in which he took special care to tell the
country of the preparations, but not to
represent the impressions of our minister
concerning the objects for which they
were made. This ex pari t management
is a part of the panicmaking system, in
which the War-candidates for the Presi
dency are prone to indulge and which
deserves to be exposed to censure by eve
ry independent press."
Magnificent Catholic Church.
We learn from a source entitled to res
pect, that the Catholics of this city have
it in contemplation to erect in this me
tropolis a church edifice of magnificent
dimensions, something after the manner
of the most extensive cathedrals of Eu
rope, and to be, in the catholic sense of
the term, a national church. It is in
tended by the Catholics to appeal for aid
in this magnificent undertaking to every
congregation of their denomination in the
United States; all of whom, it is thought
will be influenced by a laudable pride to
contribute towards the erection of a noble
structure 'which is expected will cost a
bout $75,000.
Should this magnificent design be car
ried out, according to the purpose and
plan of its projectors, it will undoubtedly
by a great ornament to the city of Wash
ington, as it is thought and believed that
the style, architecture, and size of ths
mother church will not suffer on a com
parison with any of the public buildings
already erected or about to be built in the
metropolis of the Union. Nat. Intel.
Removal or the Mormons. The Su
Louis Reporter of the 11th ult., states
that about two thousand Mormons, most
ly young men, have crossed the Missis
sippi, on their way to California. They
are to form the avant guard of the Mor
mon expedition, and have started early
for the purpose of providing the necessa
ry subsistence for those who have to fol
low. -" '
Slave Hunting.
Three whits men,' who, claim to be
Pensylvanians, and reside in the neigh
borhood of Chambersburg, captured four
negroes as runaway slaves from Mary
land, at Monleursvill, Lycoming county,
and were driving them through the town
of Milton, Northumberland county, on the
10th inst. hand-cuffed, two together, the
white men on horseback, one carrying a
rifle and a tomahawk when they were
arrested as kidnappers, and were lodged
in jail at Sunbury. The negroes were
also arrested on a charge of theft, and
.
were committed to tne same prison,
where the negroes and negro-catchers will
remain until the matter is investigated.
SWc advise the gendemen 'in the
nighborhood of Chambersburg" who have
a taste for the Slave Trade, to fit out an
expedition for Africa at once, and go into
the business, upon a more respectable
scale. Chambersburg Whig.
Three Cheers for the Cumber

By the aid of the Iron Plough, inven
ted by D. Holl, Esq. the Chief Engi
neer of the Cumberland Valley. Rail Road
Company, the company were enabled to
open the road on Friday, the same morn
ing of the last heavy fall of snow. They
were in advance of all other road. The
cars are now running regularly between
this place and Harrisburg. With this
plough they can run at the rate of 12
miles per hour. Mr. Holl deserves cred
it for the plough he has planned, and his
perseverance in opening the road.-Cham-bersburg
