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 :

Slß:— Your nute of the :29th inst. was
placed in my hands, by your friend Governor
\\ iuslow, at 12 o'clock to day. I know of
nothing that makes it necessary for me to
name a time and place outside the District of
t lunihia to receive from you a conimunica
.i nin writing. 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. On that occa
y ri 1 ii ino language in violation of Par
ioiiiifii ary law, and none not warranted hy
\ ... remarks thus impugning my conduct,
i' j'our r te is i > he considered of a hostile
character, then 1 have this to reply: K-gard
ing duelling a-; at variance with the precepts
o! the ' hristian religion and the sentiments
of a Christian people, and it being prohibited
and declared a crime by the laws enacted by
the body of which we are uienil ers, 1 cannot
recognize it as a justifiable mode of settling
difficulties among men, even in cases of uif
warranted provocation. But my personal
rights and the freedom of debate guaranteed
by the Constitution I shall defend wherever
they are assailed.

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

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

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.

scoundrels are a carpet bag with a new
