The New York pa per', were tilled with sensation dispatches accounting for this sudden move, attributing it to the discovery of a ph.t. to assassinate Mr. Lincoln on his passage through Balti more. It has since been stated that Mr. Lincoln proceeded to Washington in answer to a telegram asserting the importance of his immediate presence in the Capitol. It is also said thnt on account of the known determination of the Republican clubs of Baltimore to pa”ticipate in the reception of the President, it was deemed advisable that he should avoid the disturbance of the peace certain to ensue. Widelt coniecture--for all is yet conjecture--to corm t we leave fur time to determine.

Theodore was seated on a cliff over-looking the sea shore:— his face was pale and emaciated—his hair hung in wild disorder, and he was beating his breast in despair.— The remains of his departed Maria had been just committed to the dust. Distracted he had followed the hearse; and after the said ceremony of interment, had set bath ing the sod of his comfort with many a tear: Desperation had driven him hither. In melancholy tranepurt he exclaimed:— "My fair one, my beloved one, the idol of my soul, the pride of nature, is pine. is rav ished from mel lloar louder, ye seas! ye winds howl! pour down, ye rains, a -deluge! gron ye elements in concert with my woe!" lie paused with unutterable anguish.

It is a rialt number in literary excellence, and it is moreover pro fusely illustrated with engravings done in the very finest style of art: The Fashion Department, embraced in this tine inagnzine, is the fullest and most reliably complete ex rositinn published in America.

I have heard several say the idea is a correct one, and would like to have the matter teited by the citizens of old Columbia. What are the Trustees of the Old Columbia Public Ground doing? Can't they call a meeting of the Citizens of old Columbia and hear their views about h? There was quite n desire a short time since fur the re election of cer tain Trustees. Why so much anxiety for re election, and this subsequent ,b-nothing policy the only result? G )04 trees should bear good fruit. The Public Ground has been a good tree and has borne thousands of dollars, but where are they? All have mot unfortunate investment, and we have but small evidence of what the good old tree has borne.

This plan received the support of the Com missioners from Pennsylvania, and those from a majority of the Border States, slave and free. Whether they will receive the support of a two-thirds' vote in either house of Congress, necessary to send them to the people for action, is doubtful. Their ado!)• tion, however, by-the Peace . Congress will do much to allay the excitement in the Border Slave States, aml give time for the fully of secession to work its own cure. The following are the proposed amend. memts to the Constitution as adopted by the Conference: SECTION. I .-I II all the present territmy ' of the United States, North of the parallel I of thirty-six degrees nod thirty minutes of North latitude, involuntary servitude, ex cept in punishment of crime, it prohibited.

When any territory North or South of said line, within such boundary as j ' 1 Congress may prescribe, shall contain a pop Illation equal to that required fir o member of Congress, it shall, if its form of govern-, ment be Republican, be admitted into the i Union on an equal footing with the original ; States, with or without involuntary servi- ' tilde, as the Constitution of such State may provide. Seems: 2.—No territory shall be ac quired by the United States, except by dis covery, and fur naval and. commercial sta- j tions, depots and transit routes, without the concurrence of a majority of all the Senators from States which allow involuntary servi- ' tilde, and a majority of all the Senators from States which prohibit that relation; nor Olen Territory be acquired by treaty, unless the votes of a majority of the Sena tors from each class of States hereinbefore mentioned be cast as a part of the two-third majority necessary to the ratification of such treaty. &crime 3.—Neither the Constitution nor any amendment thereof shall be construed I to give Congress power to regulate, abolish, i or control, within any State or Territory of ' the United States, the relation established or recognised by the laws thereof touching persons held to labor or involuntary service therein, nor to interfere with or abolish in voluntary service in the District of Columbia without the consent of Maryland, and with out the consent of the owners, or making the owners who do not consent just compen sation; nor the power to interfere with or prohibit representatives and others from bringing with them to the District of Colum bia, retaining, and taking away persons so held to labor or service; nor the power to interfere with or abolish involuntary service in places under the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States within those States and Territories where the same is established or recognized: nor the power to prohibit the removal or transportation of persons held to labor or involuntary service in any State or Territory of the United States to any other State or Territory thereof where it is estab lished or recognized by low or usage; and the right during transportation, by sea or river, of touching at ports, shores, or land hags, and of landing in case or distress, shall exist, but not the right of transit in or through any State or Territory, or of sale or traffic against the laws thereof. Nor shall Congress have power to authorize any higher rate rf taxation on persons held to labor or service than on hind. The hringinginto the District of Columbia persons held to labor or service for sale, or piecing them in ilepots to he t.fterwards transferred to other place.; for sale as mer chandise, i , prohibited, SECTION 4.—The third paragraph of the second section of the fourth article of the Constitution shall not be construed to pre vent any of the States,.by appropriate le gislation, and through the action of their judicial and ministerial officers, from en forcing, the delivery of fugitives from labor to the person to whom such service or labor is due. SECTION s.—The foreign slave trade is hereby forever prohibited; and it shall be the duty of Congress to pass laws to prevent the importation of slaves, coolies, or persons held to service or Isibor,in the United States and the Territories, from places beyond the limits thereof. Srcrtos G.—The first, third and fifth seotions, together with this section of these amendments, and the third paragraph of the second section of the fourth Article thereof, shall not he amended or abolished without the consent of all the States. SECTION T.—Congress shall provide by law that the United States shall pay to the owners the full value of his fugitive from labor in all cases where the Marshal, or other officer whose duty it was to arrest such fugitive, was prevented from doing so by violence or intimidation from mobs or riotous assemblages, or when, after arrest, such fugitive was rescued by like violence or intimidation, and the owner thereby de prived of the some; and the acceptance of such payment shall preclude the owner ftom further claim to such fugitive, and Congress shall provide by law for securing to the citizens of each State the privileges and immunities of the several States. Tneasn.ir, Fen. 2.lsr.—The Senate con tinued the discussion of the bill for the dig continuence of postal facilities in the Sece ding States under certain contingenci es.— Without taking a vote the Senate went into executive session, continuing therein three. hours, and then adjourned until Saturday. In tho House the Select Committee of Five submitted a report in relation to the condition of the Navy and the neglect of the Department to prepare for the defence of the Atlantic Coast during the prevalence of lawless violence. They also censure the Secretary of the Navy for accepting the yes ignations of officers of the Nary who were in arms against than Government. Mr. Branch, or North Carolina, submitted a minority report. Time consideration of the bill empowering• the President to accept the service of the militia of the States to execute the laws, suppress insurrections or repel in vasions, was then resumed. On motion of Mr. Stanton, the mover of the bill, it was then postponed until Thursday. The House then discussed and ordered the previous qaestlon'on the bill to pay the expenses of Indian hostilities in Oregon and Washing ton Territory, and without coming to a vote adjourned until Saturday. Fatruv, 22v0.—1n the Senate the Post Route bill and Miscellaneous Appropriation bill were under consideration but nothing o importance was done. House not•in session. EDCCATION SATURDIY, 23 proceeding,- in the anate were unimportant. In the House the Oregon war bill was passed as amended—yeas 01, nays ta The consideration of the Tariff bill was postponed until Monday. MoND.tv, t2srir.—The bill authorizing in certain contingencies the suspension of the postal service in the seceded States was finally passed by the Senate. At the sug g,estion of Mr. Pearce, of Maryland, the causes of insurrection and resistance assign• cd in the bill were stricken out. Mr. Hemp. bill offered a substitute recognising the Ctct of secession, but it was rejected by the de cisive vote of yeas 0, nays 3S!" The bill was then passed, yeas 34, nays 124 five Southmo Senators, Messrs. Crittenden of Kentucky, Pearce and Kennedy of Mary. land, Johnson of Tennessee, and Bayard of Delaware, voting for it. The Deficiency bill was also considered and passed. During the session Mr. Lincoln appeared upon the floor of the Senate and was warmly re ceived. The Ilonse passed the Tariff bill for the second time. All the Senate amendments were concurred in except the one imposing duties upon lea and coffee, which was re jected by a two third vote. Tur.sotv, IGth.----In the Senate the bill for organization of the Territory of Colorado was passel. The amendment of the House to the Post Route hill was agreed to and the bill also passed. The Army Appropriation was then taken up and an appropriation of 530,000 for an arsenal in Texas stricken out on account of the arsenal having been seized. Other amendments were discussed and adopted and the bill passed. , The [louse was engaged in a bitter end acrimonious discussion of the bill authori zing the President to accept the services of volunteers to enforce the laws if necessary, generally known as the Force bill. After speeches by Messrs. Pryor, Curtis, Simms, and others, it was,on motion of Mr. Corwin, laid over to Thursday, by a vote of ayes 1 100, nays 74, which is equivalent to its defe.tt. Mr. Corwin, then moved to take up the report of the Committee of Thirtydhree when a scene of the greatest confusion ' ensued, the ultra Republicans using all the appliances usual to stave off action, by mo tions to adjourn, &c. A test vote showed the friends of conciliation to number 110, whilst their opponents were but G I. They wore finally taken up, IVEnxr.sn.tv, 27ru.—The Senate concur- I red in the !louse amendment to the Tariff bill, which now only requires the approval of the President to become a law. The Army bill was amended and passed. Mr. i Crittenden presented the proceedings of the Peace Conference which on his motion were Ireferred to a Special Committee. The Senate then went into executive session. The [louse proceeded with rating on the Report of the Committee of This:3.4l're°, with the paneling amendments thereto.— All the amendments, including the ploposi tion fur a National Convention, Mr. Cri tten den's Mr. Kellogg's and Mr. Corwin's reso . lotions, were steadily voted down until the Report Jr the Committee was reached.— , The declaratory resolutions prefacing the !report were successively adopted by large majorities. The vote was then taken on the amendment to the Constitution recom mende I by the Committee. This amend t merit prohibits any alteration of the Consti tution interfering with slavery in the States. The vote was yeas one hundred and twenty. Congressional nays seventy-one. A two-third cote being required in order to recommend the amend ment to the States for adoption, the propo sition was therefore lost. Eight more votes would hare carried it through. The House then-adjourned. The News The Senate in secret - session on Thursday 21st refused to consider the nomination of Judge Black as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. The rote Was regarded as settling the fact that his nomination cannot be confirmed. It is- the general opinion that there will be no more executive sessions during the remainder of the term of the present Administration. Official tidings have been received at Washington from Major Anderson. All that he required was more money for the supply of the garrison. President Davis has nominated, and the S mthern Congress confirmed, Nit% ToAms, of Georgia, as Secretary of State, Mr. Memminger, of South Carolina, as Secre tary of the Treasury. and Mr. L. P. Walker, of Louisiana, as Secretary of War. On motion of Mr. Cobb, the Finance Committee were instructed to inquire and report on the propriety of laying an export duty on cotton. Intelliger.ce from California announces that the crisis had reached the Pacific, and a number of mercantile houses have failed. The steamer America, arrived at Halifax, brings Liierpool dates to 9th inst. Lord Palmerston had stated in Pnrliment that orders had been sent to the Canadian au thorities not to deliver the slave Anderson to the united States authorities without ex press orders from the home Government.— The markets for American produce were unchanged. The eight million loan applied fur by the Secretary of the Treasury has been taken on more favorable terms than was anticipa ted. The competition was also grater than was expected, the whole amount of the offerings being over fourteen millions of dol lars. Four and a half millions were award ed at 00 15, and tlyr, remainder at rates ranging from 00} to 90. The Southern Congress have passed an act guaranteeing the free navigation of the The Governor of Georgia has renewed his reprisals. On Friday, 22nd three New York vessels at Savannah, belonging to cit izens of New York, were seized and ordered to be detained until the New York police deliver up arms, designed for Georgia, seized in iransilit. One of the vessels seized, the bark Adjuster, has nine hundred bales of cotton on board belonging to a British subject, and the owner has gone to 'Wash ington to lay the matter before Lord Lyons. The captain of the vessel had entered his protest against the seizure. The returns from the election held in Arkansas fur delegates to a "Sovereign Convention" differ essentially as they come from opposile sections of the State. The West and Northwest portions of the State are almost unanimous against secession, whilst the Southern part of the State is equally strong for it. It is believed that the State has voted fur a Convention. General Tiviggs has surrendered to the Revolutionists of Texas all the United States military property in his charge as Corn mandant of that department. The further details of the surrender by General Twiggs of the entire command of the military department of Texas to the revolutionary Convention of that State, em bracing a force of 3,000 officers and men, will be perused with regret, more on ac count of the loss of character of an officer who has been held in high esteem by his countrymen, than fur the value of the prop erty he has faithlessly abandoned. Arms, accoutrements, horses, cattle, wagons, &c., have all been given up, his trust and oath ruthlessly violated, and his faithful officers and mon permitted to retain their sidearms and retire to the coast. Hopes are enter tained that some of the subordinate officers have revolted against the treason of their commander, and retained possession of their posts. The North Carolina Legislature have ad journed, but there is some talk of an extra session in case the events of the nest few weeks are unfavorable to compromise. The election for delegates to a State "Sovereign" Convention took place in North Carolina an Thursday. The voters decided at the same time the question of ."Conven tion" or "No Convention." The Committee of the House of Represen tatives to whom was referred the correspon dence between the President and the South Carolina Commissioners have submitted report in which they condemn the President for holding any communication with the representatives of a seceded State. Mr. Cochrane submitted a minority report de fending tb' action of the President. The Sunbury and Erie and the Pennsyl vania Railroad bills both passed to a third reading in the State Senate on Wednesday. They have passed finally on Thursday, the former by a vote of 2G to 8, the latter by a close vote of IS to 15. LUDICROCA MIST IKE (N A TRA NSLITION.- Miss Cooper, daughter of the novelist, in a late work entitled "Pages and Pictures," gives an amusing account of the blunder of the translator who first rendered her father's novel, "The Spy," into the French language. senders of the book will remember that the residence of the Wharton family was called "The Locusts." The translator referred to his dictionary, and found the rendering the word to be Les Saukrelles, "The Grasshop pers." But when he found one of the dra goons represented as tying his hor-e to one of the locusts on the lawn, it would appear as if he might have been at fault.

PRACTICAL. EXPERIENCE 19 BETTE!: TuAN ENrrnintxrAt. SemNcr..—The science of medicine, ns practised in hospitals and fam flies, by nine tenths of our popular physi cians, is an experimental science. It has no fiscd immutable principles; it is not founded on a consistent philosophy. Now mark the difference between the experinzental remedies of the profession (which even the great Ala jendie declares fail more frequently than they succeed,) and those of Professor nollo• way, a man who has built up a new system of medical treatment, in which, as we verily believe, there is nut a single flaw from its foundation to its summit. We have authentic statistics before us, which show that the annual consumption of Holloway's Pills exceeds that of all the ad vertised preparations of the same class at present before the world. This, of itself, in a country where the opinion of the majority is considered entitled to supreme respect, should be a suffi.:ient warrant of superiority. But we have seen a still stronger proof of their ine-timable properties, in the shape of a copy of the record of certificates and testi monials of cure received by Professor Hol loway, directly and through his agents, dur ing the last five years. The yearly average almost exceeds belief. It is upwards of 75,000, or more than two hundred per day. There is no question as to the accuracy of ibis statement. Most of the documents are authenticated by legal forms, and the names of persons distinguished in ecerydepartmcnt of public life figure in the index to this vo luminous history of triumphs of a grand discovery. There is no experimenting here —no playing at fast and loose with health and life. It is ono glorious uninterrupted march of success, in which all internal dis eases have been attackod and extinguished. Among the most common and fatal dis eases incident to our climate, are those which affect the stomach, the liver and the bowels. We have seen the effect or nolo. ' way's Pills in cases of this nature, and when we aver that they are a specific, covering all the varieties of these complaints, we "speak what we do know." Permit us, in all kindness, to recommend all who suffer from bilious disorders, whether men to or chronic, to resort at once to . this remedy.— i It is not our wont to obtrude advice on our readers, nor is such our intention now; but we are. so thoroughly convinced of the uni form efficacy of these Pills, in every disease that affects the great secretive Organs, that • we cannot forbear giving them our earnest endorsement and recommendation.—N..-I
