Proceedings of Congress. The Senate has done but little business except appointing committees, which as • it! hive rank'di-unioriists or hot-head i pro .-davery nicii at their head, the north having been completely ignored in their appointment. Notwithstanding evidence was laid before the democratic caueas that Geo. M . Howman, publisher of Buchanan's organ, had received money from the public printer while lie was acting as superinten dent, for which he is liable to a criminal indictment, be was nominated ior Printer to the Senate, but has yet to be elected. In the House southern democrats con tinue to preach disunion and other treason, and excepting a small band of anti-Lecomp tonites not a northern doughface democrat has yet had the moral courage to rebuke these traitors to the I nion and enemies of their country. Several votts were taken for Speaker, during which the democracy tried various dodges to elect, but without sjccess. Giimer of North Carolina, an American and a sound tariff man, could be elected any day it' the patent democrats would vote ior him, as ilalo and others from this State would support liitn. (*p to Friday Sherman was repeatedly within four votes of an election. On that day the House adjourned to Tucsdav. During a discussion last week, Mi- Branch ol North Carolina impugned the motives of Mr. Grow of Pennsylvania for resisting an amendment to the post of fice appropriation bill increasing the rates of letter and newspaper postage, which Mr. Grow stigmatized as unparliamentary and ungcntlemanly, as it certainly was. On this the fire-cater demanded an explanation, and Mr. Grow having treated this demand with the contempt it deserved, Branch chal lenged him. To this further demand of this would be-murderer Mr Grow made the iollowing reply—u reply which will do him more honor with all christian and well-mean ing men than fighting fifty duels with brag adocias : WASIUXUTON CUT, December 30, 1859. i 7 o'clock, I>.

Your note was, doubtless, as n thing else has occurred between us, based " 0 marks made by me in debate in the !1 '1 Representatives, in reply to vour speech impugning my motives and the intog- j riiv ui my mt>as a legislator.

But my personal rights and the freedom of debate guaranteed by the Constitution I shall defend wherever they are assailed. Respectfully v. urs. Gausua A. GROW. To Ib-n. L. 08. Branch.

We shall fur n sh it in an extra or in next week's Gazette. So far as a cursory glance at its contents rotables us to speak, it is a conservative doc ument which will meet with the approval of nil who can rise above party. ftgcAYe issued the President's Message jn an extra last week to our mail subscri bers and furnish it to others to-day.

Another Case "t 7* < ami J" ".then/iff, with the Addition of tStrijw*. —A stone mason nam ed Powers, engaged upon the new State House, at Columbia, >. C., having given pret ty free utterance to " seditious sentiments,' on more than one occasion, was lately arres ted, taken before the mayor of the city, and examined in the presence of the Commission er of the Circuit. Although it did not appear that the accused was guilty of tampering with slaves, vet it was clearly in evidence that he was an anti slavery man. lie was therfore, says a writer in the Charleston Mercury, or dered to be escorted from prison to the out- of thecitv by the Marshals. As threats of rescue had been made by other stone ma suns, he was carried through the town at elev en o'clock, a. m., and through the State House yard, were these men were at work, a crowd, of course, in at ulance. No attempt at res cue v. . made, ana at the Charlotte junction of the city the Vigilance Committee took him in hand, stripped him to the waist, and in flicted twenty nine lashes and a coat of tar and feathers. Hence ho was for\var : railroad to Charleston. On arriving at Charleston i un ti. r Mercury, walked to the gua 1- v.Junta rily in his unique 're ;s. lie relates his ad ventures in the >'ropiest manner, concluding with the assertion that he J . ' c ire f er the tarring and feathering, but the tiinc-and-twen administered to him was a little tight. A Car 30 of African*.— The Sea Coast Dem ocrat, published at Mississippi City, "learns from good auth rity that a cargo of African slaves is expected in the ship Isiaud Harbor, the latter part of the present month. They will, if they arrive safe, be landed without any attempt at secresy ; the consignees trust ing to the sentiment predominant in Missis sippi as to the necessity of increasing the number of laborers, for a triumphant acquit tal in the event of a government prosecution. The Richmond (Va.) Dispatch says: Ben jamin W. Heath, formerly a private in the I'nited States army, was sent out of Rich mond, Virginia, for "expressing sympathy for the murdering land pirates Brown and Cook." We learn from the papers that there is great excitement relative to two school teachers from the North in Williamsburg. The great er portioin of the citizens of that district seem determined to drive them out of the dis trict on suspicion, whilst their employers and others, believing them to bo innocent of any designs hostile to our institutions, seem de tcrinined to retain and defend them.— Charles lon (S. C.) Mercury. A Scotchman named Sandy Tate having expressed himself rather too freely upon the slave question and Harper's Ferry affair, iu the village of Salisbury, X. C., was recently seized by a mob and tarred and feathered, af tor which he was placed upon a fence rail and carried to a neighboring dock pond, where, in the presence of an immense throng of peo ple, he was ducked until he recanted. Upon being released, the poor fellow took to bis heels, and has never been seen since.— Haiti more American, The above arc a i, of a dozen instan ces of outrage now to be fouud in the news papers. It is this sHSjiict'o/i among south ern men that leads to much of the difficul ty in the south and to bitter feelings in the north, for where one tampering with or interposing with slaves is justly punish ed nine are maltreated with no better inun dation than suspicion. We could instance this by a case which in reality occurred, but fortunately ended well. A religious man years ago, a sound democrat at that, was called by his business to visit a certain locality in Maryland, and went there with the intention of m sa,h g one woru on the question of slavery, llis opinions on that subject were precisely what were then held by the Pennsylvania democracy, but some officious person took care before bis arrival to make it known that an "abolition ist was coining among them. The conse quence was he met with great difficulties, was at first refused even to be heard, and but lor the interference ola few influ ential citizens, who declared they would protect him at all hazards, would have been driven away by force. A domestic calam ity a short time afterwards gained him sympathy, and when he left it was with the good wishes of the community for bis future welfare. It is thus with hundreds who go south. Hither some spv or evil designing person precedes his arrival, and reports a remark perhaps made in a free slate, where most men speak what they think almost without annoyance on all ques- tions of government or policy, or else an intense slavery man presses him for an opinion which, if unfavorable, results too frequently in outrage. Were southern men in person and by notices to reoncst all travelers to abstain from discussing slavery, or holding intercourse with slaves .0 i at the same time discourage ilicirown citizens from discu sing the question, or inflicting punishment, on mere suspicion, tlicy would soon discover that not uuo iu a thousand of the northern people bears them the slight est ill-will, or is at all desirous of interfer ing with the : r peculiar institution. They could also then discriminate between " ab olitionists" and citizens of our common country merely Holding "opinion- adverse to slavery. \! v A - I •;< i is to come off < a Monday evening next * Fifteen large buildings were destroyed by tire at Xc'.v York last week.
