Gentlemen: In accepting the invita tion of the Whig Young Men of Phila delphia, to partake of a Public Dinner, I my st be permitted to say that it is an ho nor alike unexpected and unmerited by rne. I am, however, the more disposed to accept it on this occasion, as it will afford an early opportunity of exchanging opin ions and congratulations upon our bright prospects in the approaching contest in Pennsylvania, which, if realized, will be ftit as a blessing, not only by our own be loved Commonwealth, but, in its conse quences, by the whole Union. AVith sincere thanks for this manifesta tion of the favorable regard of the voting AThigs of Philadelphia, as well as for the I flattering terms in which it has been con veyed. I am gentlemen, vour very cht servant, ANDREW STEWART. To Hon. E. Joy Morris, and others cf Committee.

TWENTY-NINTH CONGRESS. SECOND SESSION. TELEGRAPHED FOR THE PEXX'a IXqUXRER. SENATE. Washington, Feb. 28th 1847. Passage of the Indian Appropriation Bill The Post Office Appropriation Bill Increase of the Marine Crops The Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation Bill Discussion Resumed on the Three Million Bill. The amendment of the House to the Indian Appropriation bill was concurred in, and the bill has therefore passed both Houses. The bill from the House for the in crease of the Murine Corps, was reported from the Committee on Naval Affairs, with an amendment separating the staff j from the line of said corps, which was a- . greeJ to, and the bill was passed. , t The amendment of the House to the bill for the relief of the heirs of John Paul Jones, was agreed to. The Senate insisted upon its amend ment to the West Point Appropriation Bill. The Posl-0 ftice Appropriation Bill was taken up, and several amendments adopted. The clause put in by the House authorizing post masters to select the pa pers for advertising without regard to cir culation, was stricken -out. Yeas 21, nays 21. The bill was passed. "Mr. BREESE, moved to take up the Graduation bill, but the Senate refused yeas 17, nays 21. The Civil and Diplomatic Appropria tion Bill was then taken up. The amend ment to pay Texas $70,000 for goods for cibly taken from her custom horse,, by American citizens, was modified so as to leave the settlement of the claim at the direction of the President, and the amount not to exceed $30,000, and was then a greed to. An amendment to pay Joint Hogan, late ageut to St. Domingo, the sum of $740, was agreed to. An attempt was made to strike out the amendment adopted yesterday, to pay Ritchie & Heiss certain amounts deduct ed from their accounts for printing, but it failed yeas 20, nays 23. The bill was then read a third time and passed. Mr. CRITTENDEN moved to take up the bill reported by him yesterday, for the relief of the suffering poor of Ireland and Scotland. Mr. SEVIER opposed the motion, and it was disagreed to yeas 18, (all Whigs) nays 23, (all Democrats except Mr. Davis.) The three million bill wss then taken up, and Mr. Niles addressed the Senate at considerable length, sustaining the war and justifying its further prosecution. He thought the estimates which had been made by the Treasury Demartment were entirely too limited, and that further pro vision would have to be made, or the De partment would find itself very greatly embarrassed. He considered the plan of increasing the revenue bv the bill now before the House an absurdity. Mr. J, M. CLAYTON obtained the floor, and moved to go into Executive session. Mr. SEVIER opposed the motion, and said he should not vote for an adjourn- i ment until tne question was taken upon the bill. Mr. CALHOUN thought it would be better to take the question on Monday. Mr. SEVIER said it was evident there was to be a fight on this bill, and they might as well have it now as any time. Mr. BERRIEN then moved to post pone the bill until Monday. Mr. SEVIER demanded the yeas and nays The bill wis postponed yeas 27, nays 23. The Senate proceeded to consider the amendments to the National appropria tion Dill. The amendment lor the appointment of the thirteen additional assistant sur geons, further amended so as to limit their terms, of service to the continuance of ihe war with Mexico, was finclly agreed to. The Three Million Bill was postponed until Monday yeas 27, nays 23. The Senate resumed the consideration of the House amendments to the Nation al Appropriation Bill, and disagreeing thereto, appointed a Committee of Con ference. The bill for thc rel;ef of t i -d HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. . ne Dill reported by Mr. Campbell, of ew Yr t0 carry into effect certain pro- "muus ui lilt m'aiy wim i.mna, was read a third time and passed. The amendment of the Senate to the Naval Appropriation Bill, with further a mendments thereto by t'.ic Committee on ! Ways and Means wvii taken up in Com- j mittee of the Whole, Mr. Hopkins in the chair. Mr. DARRAGH offered an amend- J mcnt, appropriating $50,000 for Marine Hospitals at Pittsburgh Louisville, Padu- cah and Cleveland. The amendment was ruled by the Chair not to be in order. CHIPMAN HOUSTON, of Alabama, and HOUSTON, of Delaware followed. The amendment of Mr. WHITE to the amendment providing for the appoint ment of a pyrotechnist, was finally adopt ed, that of Mr. SCHNECK having been rejected. Ihe committee rose and reported the amenument to tne House, tne most nn portant having been agreed to, and others disagreed to, and the action of the com- rmttee was confirmed. The House voted to insist upon its dis- agreement to the Senate's amendment to the Military Academy Appropriotion Bill. On motion of Mr! McKAY,the Reve nue Bill was then taken in Committee of the AVhole, 06 to 97, Mr. Ficklin, of Il linois, in the Chair. A warm debate en sued, in which Messrs. Cooke, Cobb, Hopkins, Root, Henley, Bowlin, Ewing, of Pennsylvania, and others, on a motion by Mr. Cooke, to amend by striking out the first section, and insert a provision re ducing the compensation of all civil offi cers where salaries exceed $1000, and can be constitutionally reduced twenty five per cent, including members of Con gress. Mr. HOPKINS tvas in favor of the re duction, and should vote for the duty on lea and coffee. Mr. ROOT was also in favor of the a mendment. Mr. HENLEY was in favor of redu cing ihe compensation of all, from the highest officer down to the pages who carried their newspapers. Mr. BOWLIN said the proposed tax on tea and coffee should receive no res ponse from that House, for it was against the sentiment of the people. As it re garded the Graduation Bil' whether it passed or not, the star of the empire would be west, and would not be restrain ed. An amendment was adopted for the first section of the bill, fixing the 10th March, 1817, as the time for the act to go into operation. A number of other amendments were proposed and rejected, when a motion was made to strike out all after the words 10th March, 1847, in the first section to the word levied in the line in the second section, being the proposed tax of twenty per cent, on tea and coffee; which motion prevailed, 93 to 90. After striking out the tax -ipon tea and coffee from the first section of the Reve nue Bill, numerous other amendments were offered, and nearly all rejected. Mr. HAMLIN then proposed a sub stitute, being the bill as reported, with ad ditiohs to the sections relating to the man ufactures of silk and of which silk is a component part, to manufactures of linen, of flax and of which flax is a component part, spirits, cordials, wines and cigars, woolen and worsted goods, as articles up on which the additional ten per cent, ad valorem should also be levied, and with the section relating to the graduation of the prices of public lands so amended as to confine the benefits to actual settlers. On motion, the graduation section was stricken out. On motion of Mr. WENTWORTH the tax on tea and coffee was also reject ed by a vote of 91 to 83. The substitute was then agreed to yeas 105. nays 103 and a motion to re-consider this vote negatived bv a vote of 101 to 105. The vote was then taken on the fina passage of the substitute, and resulted in its reiection yeas 68, nays lo4. A motion to reconsider wes laid on the table, and at 8 o'clock the House adjourn ed. ' TERRIBLE DISASTER. The Steamer Tom Metcalfe Four Passengers and one Deck Hand Drowndd. By a gentleman who arrived in the ci ty last night about 8 o'clock, on the stea mer Medium, we were informed that the Tom Metcalfe, bound for the Wabash, which left our landing about 9 o'clock on Monday niffht last, with a heavy load of freight and thirteen passengers, of which our informant was one, about 2 o'clock Tuesday morning, when near Aurora, struck the bank, and immediately com menced settling when four passengers and one deck hand were drowned. Both wheel houses almost instantly parted from the hull, and the cabin at the same time floated off, which our inform ant thinks probably saved the remaining passengers from a watery grave, as only a few minutes after, the hull turned com pletely bottom up. Lines being made fast to the cabin, it was hauled in to shore, sufficiently near to enable the pas sengers who were on it to escape. The night was represented as being excessive ly cold and the suffering as intense, most of the passengers being more or less drenched bv water before reaching the shore. The wreck cf the Metcalfe is considered as one of the most complete and disastrous from so trivial a cause, and in the same length of time on record. Thc boat had $2,000 or $3,000 insured on her, but whether there was any on the cargo, amounting to about 10,000, our in formant did not know. The names of the persons drowned, had not been ascer tained when he left. Cin. Com. PRIVATEERS. It appears that several enterprising Englishmen have fitted out at London three vessels, well armed and manned, under Mexican letters of marque, with j clearances for Manilla. Their day of sailing from thc mouth of the Thames, was the 10th of Januarv. Thev bear Spanish names, and are'eommanded by En - disli Contains, to wit: ATnoilv. Smith. and Lash. Our government will take proper and active mpnsnrrc Wp hnnc. tn arrest the career of these pirates, and if they are caught, hang them at once. The letter of the Secretary of State, pub lished last summer, gives assurance that this is the remedy which will be applied to these "bold buccaneers." Contract to Close the AVar. A petition has been presented to the New York Assembly, from Col. A. Jones, of Rochester, to let out the Mexican war on contract, the petitioner agreeing to give bonds to close it for two millions of dol lars. If thc job is to be done by contract, and to be let out to the lowest bidder, Col. Jones has the advantage of the Adminis tration, which asks three millions to ena ble it to effect a treaty. From the SoutVBend (Ind.) Register. - MINING IN WISCONSIN. ' r , . t. P Aa The following description of- the de- tails of mining in "the Lead Diggings ' of the Mississippi, written by Mr. Samuel F. Cleveland, once a resident of this vil- 1 age, was addressed some time since to Mr Lindsev, the Clerk of the Circuit Court, and by him kindly proffered to us for publication. Platteille, Wisconsin, Nov. 28, 1846. My Dear Lindsey, You know I promised you in my last, to give a description of operative raining as it is carried on in this country in my next letter, accordingly you shall have it. Thc only mineral worth mining for in this country is Lead ore, or mineral. There are annually raised and smelted something near a hundred thousand of copper ore. The writer does not state whether pounds or tons are here intended Ed. Registcr.J Near Mineral Point there is also found copper ore, and north of this near the Barraboo and Kickapoo Rivers. Lead ore is found usually in the earth at different depths, sometimes it is found upon the surface on stony or rocky points, in ravines or on the sides or steeps of river or creek bluffs; sometimes the float found as above described is traced to veins of Mineral where it forms in the bodv of the ridge. The heaviest veins of mineral are generally found in caves, they are discovered in the ravines and uni versally capped over with solid rock, es pecially when the ground rises from the ravines. The caves vary in length depth and width. Some at Dubuque are over half a mile in length, from 5 to 30 feet wide, and from 2 to 20 feet high 1 ence, the walls or sides of the cave must be quite irregular. Large masses of ore are often found sticking to the cap or roof rock, also to the sides, but the chief lies in the bottom amongst sand ochre and tumbling or loose rock. The mineral sometimes runs down for over 20 feet and some of these Leads or veins have yiel ded over ten millions of ore. I he most noted caves for extent and value have been found at Dubuque and Galena. Potosi and Mineral Point have had caves of less extent, and a few of stil less note have been found at other rockv or broken digging. The course of the . a m caves tnat contain tne best veins is east and west in fact I donl know of anv lead of note having been found in a north and south cave. A'eins of ore in thc clav are called clay diggings, and when they are capped over with rock, rock diggings. Clay leads are generally found within from 10 to 40 feet from the surface, and there is usually sev eral feet of rich clay lying next above the mineral, especially if there is a large body of clay over it. 1 here is frequently round or tumbling rock over the minera in clay diggings and the clay has its names as it varies in kind or quality. The first clay is called top clay, at the bottom of which is found blue and choco late ciay in common. Deiow tnis we find generally a coarse jointy clay that is called thc change, under this, and some times amongst it, is often found soap clay which is a fine greasy earth of a blueish i i i color; ami sometimes clay ol tne same quality has many colors. Black ochre is a fine black clay, in ap pearance resembling lamp black. Tal low clav o rotten flint some miners think to be the same kind or sort of clay but in different states. This clay is generally found in a layer or strata, under the lop clav; it has various colors, white, yellow, red, and often of mixed colors; it is gene rally soapy or greasy, and of fine or soft quality; sometimes it lays over and some times under the mineral; and in clay dig gings there being rock on the sides of the lead or vein higher than the mineral, this Tallow clay seems to lay upon the wall rock. Hence it must pitch towards the centre of the crevice in order to drop down near the mineral, and manv veins of mineral have been discovered by drif ting the way this or thc other bodies pitch. There is generally a kind of stone called flint which is mostly of a similar kind but then there are many kinds of it. The rock is of two sorts commonly called lime and sand rock the sand rock : universally lays above the blue lime rock, j This latter is mostly found low in the bluffs or broken parts, but it generally deepens as it rises from these bluffs or broken lands, l lie oest clay leaus run east and west with a few points variation. Although for the most part mineral veins run m one direction, witii now and men a fork or feeder putting out from the main ody, yet patches of mineral arc often bund that seem to run no particular course, lnese patches sometimes are floats from large veins of mineral on low er ground than the main body, but chiefly they are isolated yielding from a few hundred to hundreds of thousands or mineral. The tools used for mining in clay dig gings are usually the following, a wind lass with rope, tub, picks, shovel and spade. ' The windlass is made of suitable size at the bottom of which should be square to encompass a shaft 3 feet in diameter. AVhen miners start out "prospecting" they commonly go near the ravines to search for float, and in this way most of the heavy leads in the mines have been discovered, caves excepted. However in some diggings the leads do not make in the ravines, as a general thing, but are found more in the body of the ridge or upon high ground. The tools used in rock diggings are a poll, pick gad, blast ing tools, sledge, blasting materials, &c. There is commonly float over the rock leads especially near the ravines, vet when the opening thus closes there are : numerous seams is or narrow openings or rock which carry mineral. ; way of the range, while ; fissures in the Some run the 1 others fork off iu various directions. 1 In prospecting for rock leads the mlr hnZ .atruckl thc.floul(.n?ir a. ,ravin5 will follow it up the rise of ihz ridge un- j sinkf a wUh f b lho rock j anj should tiese sczms be narrow, yet contain good lookiug east and west float mineral, he will doubtless blast the shaft down until he either strikes living water, or runs short of money. I mentioned before that the mineral laid in sand and ochre in caves, but in tight openings e'ther in rock or clay. It frequently lays in other kinds of earth, aud when it is found in the water, it lays in quick sand, joint clay and amongst tumbling lock. - The rock immediately over thc open ing in rock diggings is called the cap rock and varies in thickness being from 2 to 8 feet or even more; this rock is common ly thc hardest, and when the few last blasts are being put in, the sound from thc hammer used to drill with makes a hollow echoing noise which animates the hardy miner with hopes that he is about to enter the top of thc opening. Finally he strikes through, clears away the rub bish of the last blast, sends it out of the shaft, and sinks still deeper through clay and tumbling rock wilh an occasional piece of mineral, till finally he strikes his pick against a piece of blue ore that weighs perhaps hundreds, nay even thou sands, then all hands shout "a Lead" "a Lead." Rock Lead3 are generally the surest to make pay, and the mineral is of better quality. There is often found among and even sticking to mineral other bodies of little or no value, namely, dry bone, black jack, tiff rust, Hint rock, &c. There are other matters I would be glad to write to you about relative to but I must defer it for the present mining, RIGHT OF WAY QUESTION. The subject of granting tiie right of way for the extension of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad through Arirgima to the Ohio River, came up in the Arirginia House of Delegates on Tuesday, as the order of the day. MrvShefley, at an early stage of the proceedings, asked leave to withdraw the substitute offered by himself some time since, and which would have necessarily come up as a competing proposition with that offered by Mr. Hunter of Jefferson. Mr. Sheffey having withdrawn his bill, Mr. Hunter's substitute was then alone before the House, until Mr.Edington sub milted an amendment, authorizing the company to terminate their road at Wheel ing, and in the route thither to strike the Ohio at the mouth of Fish Creek; but if, after a survey, it should be found that the route partly by Fish Creek and partly by Grave Creek was a belter and cheaper route, or, if it be more costly, provided Wheeling should pay the difference of cost in construct ion, then, in either case the rouo partly by Fish Creek and partly Grave Creek to Wheeling should be pur sued. Mr. Edington explained and sustained his amendment, and Mr. Hunter spoke in reply in opposition to it, and in favor of his own proposition for striking the Ohio at Fishing Creek, and constructing i. ii t . a lateral orancti lrom thct pomt to V hee ling provided Wheeling should subscribe not less than $1,000,000 to the improve ment, and provided further, that her bonds given in payment of her subscrip tion, should not be sola in the market lor less that 75 cts. in the dollar. In regard to the substitute offered by himself, Mr. Hunter assured the House that it had been drawn upby him, entire- v without consultation with the Presi dent or Directors of the Baltimore compa ny, j The Richmond Republican goes on to I say : The Northern Mail having brought the proceedings of theBoard ofDirectors of the B. & O. R. R. Company, held on Mon day last, Mr. Hunter read from the Balti more American the resolutions adopted at that meeting. After this, Mr. Stephenson, ofAYood, asked the gentleman from Jefferson to give way lor a motion to adiourn. the j j liour being late. lie accordingly gave way, and the subject will again come up this (Wednesday) morning as unfinished business of yesterday. The Richmond Republican says in con clusion: "If we mistake not the signs the right of way stands on better ground for the success now than ever bsfore." Bait. TIIE TEA AND COFrEE TAX AGAIN DEFEATED! By the Congressional proceedings of Saturday, it will be seen thc proposition to lay a tax on tea and coffee wos a gain defeated in the Honse. This is right. If more revenue is required to car ry on the operations of the Government, let them restore the TARIFF of 1812 ! That's the measure that will brin the country back to prosperity, and replenish the Treasury, without taxing thc poor man's tet and coffee ! The Tariff of 1812 must and will be restored in the end; and the Locofocos had better make a virtue of necessity, now while they may, and repeal their British Tariff at once. But they will not do it. They would rather see the country suf fer, and struggle on under the evils and embarrassments to which it subjects the Government, than acknowledge their er ror in passing ii. and admit iht wisdom of Y lug policy by restoring the bill of '42. This work will be left for the Whigs to do; and the day is not far distant when ! :u i ., .... S it will be in their power to accomplish it. The people are looking toil anxiously, but they want no tax on tea and coffze. liar. Intel. Remember that Senator Turaay of Tennessee in a dctor.co of thc. adminis tration, avows that the war with Mexico resulted directly rouM tils anxex iion of Texas. Th U Senator Calhoun avowed the ob ject of annexation to be the runrsri nv OF THE rXSTTTfTIOX OF SLAVERY. That the same Senator Calhoun has.-i-so expressed thc opinion that ths war was entirely unnecessary, and provoked by the President's secret order : the? ad vance of our army to tli2 Rio Grande,-, a measure which he must hae known would lead to hostilities. Therefore, by the admissions of thj various parties to the act of annexation, it appears that the original cause of the war, w-s a plot for the extension and permanent establishment of human sla very; and that the immediate cau?c wr the single, responsible act of Jaines K. Polk. Oil whom, then, rests the responsibili ty of the blood, treasure, and sufferi:j. expended in this protracted c Lancaster Examiner. m test.'
