CONGRESSIONLL PROCEEDINGS. MONDAY, Jan. 11 But little of importance transpired in Con gress. In the Senate propositions were pre sented for the establishment of mail lines between the United States and the north of Europe and South America. A resolution was adopted calling on the Secretary of the Treasury to report the amount of revenue col lected in each collection district from 1852 to 1857, also the amount expended and the num ber of persons employed in collecting the revenue. General Houston introduced a reso lution to give the President power to allow the fifteen officers who comprised the Naval Retir ing Board to be tried as to their fitness for the naval service. A joint resolution was adopted extending the power of the President with reference to the naval officers reported on by the Court of Inquiry. The further considera tion of the Kansas question was postponed till Monday next, by which time the result of the recent election in that Territory will be known. The President's message on Nicaragua affairs was referred o the Committee on Foreign Relations. The debate on this subject will not be resumed until the committee report. The House refused to receive a bill providing for five additional regiments for the army, and after a speech from an Ohio member, sustain ing the President's views on Central American affairs, adjourned. Mr. Pickens, of South Carolina, was confirm ed by the Senate as Minister to Russia. TUESDAY, Jan. 12. The proceedings of Congress were rather dull. The Senate passed a bill authorizing the change of the names of vessels in certain cases. The joint resolution extending the time for the restoration of naval officers affected by the Retiring Board to next April, was adopted. In the House the documents relative to the eapture of Walker were referred, the part con cerning Commodore Paulding to the Naval Committee, and the other portion to the Com mittee on Foreign Affairs. The President sent in the constitution recently adopted by the people of Minnesota ; also a message sta ting, in effect, that Nicaragua had not made any complaint as yet of the invasion of her soil by the United State,. in capturing the filibusters. The session terminated with a debate on Central American affairs, Cemmo dore Paulding, Gen. Walker, Kansas and the Mormon question. The appointment of Mr. Cliff;rd, of Maine, as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, in place of Mr. Curtis, resigned, was confirmed by the Senate by a vote of enty-six to twenty-three. WEDNESDAY, Jan. 13 Another dull illy in Congress. The Senate reconsidered the vote adopting the amend ment to the joint resolution extending and defining the power of the President in regard to the notnination of officers who are affected by the action of the Naval Retiring Board which amendment prescribed that there shall be no such construction as will allow an in eteuse of the number of offieers uu activeservice list, as mix authorized by law. After a long debate the amendment was rejected, and a joint o resolutiiin passed, with another amend me.nt, limiting the power of the President to nominate to six months after the passage of this net. Mr. Doolittle introduced a joint reso lution directing, the presentation of a medal to Com. Paulding. Mr. Brown announced his intention of offering an amendment, when the proper time arrived, CA wdemnatory ofthe action of the Commodore in invading Nicaragua and seizing General Walker. The House was engaged in discussing the topics embraced in the President's annual message, particularly the filibuster and Kansas questions. SENATE.-Mr. Ilmston gave iiiitioe of his intention on some early day to ask leave to introduce a bill to provide for the admission of Kansas into the Union as a State. The joint resolution directing the presenta tion of a medal to ronmodore Hiram Paulding was taken up and read a second time ; when it was made the special order for Wednesday next at one o'clock. Mr. Chandler gave notice of his intention, on some early day, to ask leave to introduce a bill making additional appropriations for deep ening the channel of the St, Clair flats. Several private hills were considered and passed ; and, after the consideration of execu tive business, the Senate adjourned until Mon day next. House.—The House went into Committee of the Whole on the reference of the President's message to the standing committees, Mr. Phelps, of Missouri, in the chair, when Mr. Stephens addressed the committee on the neutrality laws, urging that amendments were required to render them effectual to accomplish the objects intended. Mr. Blair, of Missouri, fol lowed, advocating the acquisition of territory southward, on which to colonize the -free negroes of the United States and the slaves who may be liberated hereafter. The remain der of the day was taken up in five-minute speeches upon amendments, of which a number were offered. Without final action the com mittee rose, and the House adjourned until to-morrow. PUBLIC OPINION The Easton Argus of Thursday last says : The Democracy of the old 10th Legion which gave our noble old President over 7,000 major ity, and which has always stood by him in days gone by, now STANDS BY HIS ADMINSTRA TION and will continue to sustain him, as long as he continues to do right. On the Kansas question, every democratic paper in the district NINE in number, approve his policy and sup port his measures, and the same unanimity exists among the rank and file, the hone and sinew of the party. The Democrats of Carbon county had a glo• rious meeting in Mauch Chunk on Monday the 4th inet., which was attended by every prominent democrat in the county. Hon. Ase. PACKER presided, assisted by Dennis Bauman, Conrad Kocher, Andrew Grover, W. D. Tomb ler, and Erancie Reed, Esqs., Vice Presidents, and Enos Tolan, and P. Speerenyder, Esqs., Secretaries. The following resolutions were reported from the Committee appointed for that purpose, of which Maj. Shortz was Chair. mon : Resolved, That the Democracy of Carbon county have, and ever had, full confidence in the firmness, integrity, statesmanship, and Democracy of James Buchanan ; and that confidence has steadily increased with the pro gress of his Administration ; and looking to his recent message to Congress as the expos ition of the principles upon which he proposes to administer the government, we desire to express our cordial and unqualified approval of the principles therein enunciated Resolved, That the Democracy of Carbon county stand on the platform where they have always stood. They maintain that the princi• pies of the organic law of Kansas and Nebraska are right and Democratic ; that we support the doctrine of non-intervention, and therefore shall not dictate to the people of Kansas, or any other Territory or State, how or in what way, they shall make their own laws, provided such laws, rules and regulations are republi can in form, and not repugnant to the Consti- tution of the United States.. The Resolutions were unanimously adopted, showing that the Democrats of Carbon are sound and true to the Constitution. Huzza for old Buck! We are proud of the Democracy of this District in the unyielding attachment displayed for the Chief Magistrate of the Union, and fur their firm adherane to the principles and platform of the party. • Dar The following resolution was unani mously adopted at a recent meeting of the democrats of Allegheny county : Resolved, That the adinistration of President Buchanan has thus far, met the highest expec tations of the Democracy of Allegheny county ; we confidently rely upon his character, exper ience and integrity, which led us to victory in 1856, for an honest and faithful administration of our natidnal affairs, and for a fair and im partial settlement of all public questions en trusted to his care. POLITICAL.—The Democrats of Allegheny county have nominated James Salisbury, Esq., as a candidate for the State Legislature at a special election to be held to supply the vacancy caused by the death of James B• Baokhouse. Mr. Salisbury was a member of the Legislature in 1856, and is a very capable gentleman. Allegheny county has elected delegates to :the nest Democratic State Convention with instructions to support Major David Lynch ae a candidate for Canal Commissioner. • ST. LOUIS CORRESPONDENCE.

Our latest intelligence from Kansas is to January athd (the day of the election.) Everything was quiet thered and no disturbance whatever occurred around the polls in any part of the territory heard from. Up to a late hour on, that day nothing was known as to the result of the election;) and it will be another week before we can state positively ill how the election terminated; but let it suse no quarreling or disturbance whatever took place. It is said that a largri! number of Missourians went over to look on, but took no part in the election. A man by the name of Henry Koontz a pro-slavery man, was murdered at Black Jack Point, on Sanday last, by two free-State men. Our latest Intelligence from the Utah expedition im t4l the 20th of November. A letter dated Fort Kearny, U. T.; Dec. 23, 1857, gays : "On the 28th November, Col. Johnston was at Fort Bridger. at which place he had established his head-quarX tars. Col. Cook, with six companies Second Dragoons, ar"l rived that morning, having loot many of his animals, anal the remainder were unfit for service. From Laramie tril Salt Lake there is no gran, (the Mormons having burnt iti in advance of the troops.) consequently all the animate belonging to the expedition were very poor when the win 4 ter set In, and it le reported that they are dying at the rate! of some one hundred daily. There can be no doubt that when spring open . Col. Johnson will be so much crippled that he will be compelled to await the arrival of fresh an;, imals, and other supplies, before he will be able to corn l l- mom@ operations. That the expedition for this year Is st: failure for this year, cannot be questioned; and when we' reflect upon the matter and see what an immense amount: of public property must be lost, as well as the condition o 5 the troops, on short rations, and living in tents in a coun.l try where the snow is usually very deep, (in November it was two feet deep,) it would seem that y-cur predictioni were well grounded. That the )Scrmons intend to resist there ran be no doubt; they are fortifying the passes that lend to the city. They have released Jesse Jones, agent of 51sJurs & Russell, who was taken prisoner by them some' time since, end have cent him to Cul. Johnston's ramp.— In passing through the different comma they blindfolded him, to prevent him from obtaining any knowledge of their movements. It Is reported that Bill Hickman, who Is one of the Danitee, and a notorious scoundrel, has Mei killed by a mountain man named Baker. I am inclined to think It is his brother, who was a prisoner in Colonel Alexender's /Amp, as report says he was released a short time before. Ms of the Wagon Road Expedition, has vot, "Mr. Magna, of _ xgon Road unteered under Col. Johnston—those of his party who would not do so were discharged. So this expedition is brokeii up without accomplishing anything, save what has beesi done by Lander, Chief Engineer, and his assistants. Itir4 Magraw having had some difficulty with the Engtneare they, as well an the Disbursing Agent, left him, and have gono to the States." ;I The Sth of January, the Anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans, was appropriately celebrated in this city.—, l All the military companies were out on parade, and several Anniversary Balls were given in the evening. As is usual with the Democracy of this city, a mass meeting was held on the evening of the Bth, and speeches were made and resolutions adopted endorsing President Buchanan, and particularly that portion relative to Kansas affairs. Soint, little excitement ensued upon the adoption of the Presir dent's Kansas policy, and a counter resolution was offered, but was finally laid upon the table. It is no doubt well remembered that the delegation from Missouri, (nearly Oar whole of which wee from this city, composed of office-hotr dere and office seekers) to the Cincinnati Convention, voted 14 consecutive times for Judge Douglas, and even noW, notwithstanding they are seeking office under Mr.Buchei an's administration, use every means at their command to stab him In the dark. The President cannot help but sail this. The opposition, so called Benton Abolition, Free Boil, Black Republican faction, also held a meeting on the eve l r . ning of the Ath, and as might be expected passed roeols Lions denouncing everything tending towards Democracy, but at the same time assumed the responsibility of nothing, and as nothing new originated at either of the meetingiil we cut the subject short. !I There has been nothing locally startling or alarming to report. The usual number of robberies, knocks-down add arrests have taken place. Ji The Printers' Bell and Banquet promises to be a grecol eituir. dome 800 Invitations have been sent out. The recent census taken at Evansville, Ind., shows the total population of that city 10,126 souls—suburbs 2,1364 making a total of 12.262. Ex-Governor Powell, has been elected 11. S. Senator b .r the Kentucky Legislature—the first Democratic Senatar from that State for a quarter of a century. We find the following tit-bit in the Springfield Journal, and insert it for the benefit of those whom it mrL r y concern: ii LOOK our roe BRII/ZERIL—The Washington Republic says: *the Postmaster General was serenaded on Saturdso , evening last. on which occasion Dr. Leib, o (Illinois, pledged his section of the country to the support of ' the Demos- racy as represented by the Administration.' Rumor states that this Dr. Leib is to be the editor of the new Adminii tration paper about to be started at Chicago." A li Yours, OLD GL'ARD.I THURSDAY, Jan. 14 FOUR DAYS LATER PRODI EUROPE. By the arrival at Portland of the steamst4 North America, we have four days later neWs from Europe. The London money market was easier, and there was a prospect of IHt further decrease in the rates of discount. The Cotton market was firm with a slight advance, while flour was dull with a declining tendein ay. The relief of Lucknow is fully confirmed by the details of the Indian mail. The slaughter of the rebels has been great. It was reported that the King of Delhi's eon and two nepheWs had been shot. The correspondent of the London Daily News states that the rebels had placed a boy on the throne, and keep him in in state at Pyzabad, a large walled city defended by a fort and round towers. Hare their last stand of resistance may be expcct4d, and they had concentrated all their available force at that point. The Thirty-fourth Native Infantry had mutinied at Chittagong, marched to Decca. A force of one hundred Europeans had gone to intercept them. The territory of Cawnpore was threatened byla large force from Oude. Serious disturbance were expected to occur at Rajpootre, and European troops were urgently wanted. "r, The U. S. steam frigate Minnesota, with the Hon. Wm. B. Reed, the U. S. Commissiur+, had arrived at Hong Kong. Speedy opera. tions against Canton are to take place. It is said that all the'exiled Generals habe received an unconditional permission to retirn to France. Tho steamer Sarah Sands has lo,en half destroyed by fire, but succeeded in reaih ing Mauritius with the troops on board. The troops on board the Sarah Sands worked nobly to save the vessel. Merely the shell remainbd of her, and there was fifteen feet of water On the hold when she reached port. GOVERNOR WISE ON THE KANSAS CONSTItU TION.—Governor Wise.having been invitedlto celebrate the Bth of January, at Tammainy Hall, N. Y., wrote a letter in which he spoke at considerable length of the Kansas trouble. It seems he agrees neither with Mr. Doug l itte nor the President, in his views, but incli4s rather to the policy propounded by Mr. Pdgh in the bill proposed to the Senate, and pro ceeds to argue that the President cannot4p behind the fact of the adoption of the coniti tution. At the same time he proposes to eciive the difficulty in this way : jl " The Congress of the United States ought not to reject the legitimate and republiCan constitution, bnt ought to adopt it, subject; to a fair and legal vote of the people of Kan4s, according to a law to be proscribed by their territorial legislature; and to admit the State under its constitution whenever the Territory shall proclaim its approval and adoptionllby the people. If they adopt it, to admit her into the Union ipso facto, and if they reject it l to leave the people of Kansas in their own way, to organize another, and to submit anoaier constitution to Congress for approval. Relief of Lneknow Confirmed MILD WINTER WEATHER The Doylestown Democrat has a correslon dent from Bristol, Bucks county, who writes under date of January 5 as follows : " What charming weather for JanuarY I" is an exclamation that greets you from almost every one you meet. Truly it is charming.— The streets are as free from snow or qom ice as in mid-summer, and the steamboatelare making their daily trips without let or hin drance from King Frost. In 1858, the river closed on the 18th of December and opene4 on the 15th of February 1857. In 1855, onljthe 28th December, and remained closed boo hundred days; and now we are in 1858 without the appearance of ice in the Delaware. tar The taxable property of Pennsylvis nia is assessed at $568,770;23. A SENSIBLE SPEECH It is known that there was a - regular split in the Free State party of Kansas, in reference to the propriety of voting for State officers, under the provisions of the Lecompton Consti tution, on the 4th inst. The regular Conventions had been controlled by the impracticables under the advice of Jim Lane and his cronies, but a mass Convention had been holden, which was under the influence of the conservative portion of the party, and was addressed by Thomas Ewing, jr., Judge Conway, Judge M'Kay, Ex-Governor Robinson and others, all of whom advocated voting under the Lecomp ton Constitution as the readiest and most practical means of settling the difficulties in the Territory. We make the following ex tracts from the speech of Mr. Ewing, and invite special attention to the very remark able and startling admissions it contains— admissions which must triumphantly vindicate the course of the Administration, and the policy recommended by the Democratic press generally: Thomas Ewing, Jr., of Leavenworth, said he was not a delegate, but a looker on. He had differed radically with the free-State party in the'spring, and had been for voting then, and did vote. He was fur voting now. He was for action and opposed to inaction.— The policy of inaction will • destroy us. It will lose us our cause, and the respect of our friends in the States. They will tell us we should have fought through the ballot box. He was apprehensive we should be admitted under the Lecompton constitution. Since the days of General Jackson, the federal execu tive has, almost universally, carried through Congress any measure it adopted. The only policy is to go into the election for State officers. Every resident can vote. The opponents of the Lecnmpton party are in a majority of at least 12,000. The plea that We cannot have a fair election is pusillanimous. The territorial officers, aided by a civil posse, can arrest and punish fraudulent voters; and, if the people are determined, the laws cannot be overridden. If we carry the State officers, and Congress admits us, the government can at once assemble the Legislature, which will call a new convention to frame and submit to the people a new constitution; and no power out side the State can call in question the validity of the constitution when so framed, submitted and ratified. There is but one course suggested other than that of voting. It is to set up an inde pendent government. That is rebellion. That man is mad who advises this as a mode of redress for grievances which can he redressed at the ballot-box. It would inevitably fail, and involve us in ruin. Look at the past attempts at rebellion in this country—and remember how the nullifiers went down, and how the whiskey insurrectionists were put down. We may profit by their example.— The only mode of oppoiiing this Lecompton constitution from which we can or ought to hope anything, is the lawful mode. Let us go into the election for State officers." ATTEMPT AT HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—The Car lule American gives the fdllowing statement of an affair near Fairview, Cumberland " A correspondent, writing to us from Shiremanstown, states that a young man by the name of Martin Rupp, residing in the lower end of the county, was returning home late on the night of the 2d inst., and while crossing the bridge at Fairview, was attacked by two colored men, who attempted to rob him. One of them caught the horse by the bridle rein, and commenced an assault upon him. My. Rupp was fortunately provided with a revolver, which he instantly brought into requisition, but was for some time prevented from firing, on account of his horse being in the way. In the course of the melee, however, his assailant was forced round to his right side, when Mr. Rupp let drive at him with one of his barrels, which, not seeming to have taken effect, was followed immediately by another fire, when the darks gave a yell and made his escape. Nothing has been since heard of the parties. No injury was done to the person of Mr. Rupp. A slight rent in his pantaloons, and the partial dismemberment of his bridle rein, done by means of a knife, were the only evidences of violence visible after the encounter." FRIGHTFUL MURDERS BY A MANIAC.—A most atrocious murder was committed near Pool villa, four miles from Hamilton, N. Y., on Sunday night, the 10th inst. Jared Comstock and his wife, aged over 70 years, were the victims. Their own son was the murderer.— He has for Borne time been insane. At about 8 o'clock on Sunday evening, he killed his father by knocking him down with an axe, and his mother was killed by a skillet. He then cut their hearts out, and cut one of the bodies in pieces, and roasted the other on the stove, eating a portion of it. He intended to have killed his sister, but fortunately she escaped. The murderer is in custody and has confessed the act. FROM WASHINGTON.—Among the documents in regard to Central American affairs sent to the House on Wednesday, by the President, was one from the Nicaraguan minister, thank ing the government for Corn. Paulding's con duct in taking away Walker and his followers. PENNSYLVANIA RAILILOAD.—The receipts of the Pennsylvania Railroad from freight and passengers for the year 1857, over the same amount of road as they had in 1856, amount, in round numbers, to five millions, or to speak exactly, to $4,986,015 23, being an increase of $185,946 49 over the year 1856. This is the best exhibit made by any road in the eountry, and for a year of commercial panic it is extraordinary. The following is the official statement of the road for the month of December and the year: =l3 Receipts of the road for the month ending December 31, $389,515 20 Same month last year 386,868 98 Receipts Prom January 1, 1857, to January 1, 1858, Same period last year, REGULATION OF THE BANKS.-MT. Foster, Of the House, has introduced a bill for the better regulation of the Banks of the Commonwealth : The Ist Section provides that no Bank shall purchase, or discount any draft, or bill of exchange, at a greater rate of discount than 1 per cent. beyond, or above the legal rate of interest.

It ix rouse for gratulation to the members of the Company that the louses for this year are $5,500 less than last year, and when it is considered that the estimated value of prop erty insured In this Company is about eight millions 01 dollars. ($8,000,000.) the losses to the Company have been comparatively small. It Is, however, a source of regret and alarm, that nearly three-fourths of the amount of lame. for the year, are supposed to have been occasioned by in cendiaries. and that in every instance without being able to discover the guilty ones. A few years ago, when a large amount of property had been unmistakably destroyed by incendiaries, a great deal of alarm and anxiety prevailed in the neighborhood, and meetings were ailed to devise some plan that would lead to their detection. Among other things done, It was recom mended to the Board of Directors to offer a largo reward. equal in amount to one-half of the property destroyed, which was done, but failed in its purpose. The last Amassment of 4" per cent, made in November. and the only one for the year, will be sufficient to pay for all losses during the year. The Board availed themselves I of the opportunity to borrow money from Individuals, to pay for losses, as they occurred, in order to avoid the Ilene. sity of making more than one assessment for the year; the Interest of the money borrowed, being lees than the expenses incurred In making an assessment. The Board would take this opportunity to again notify members of the Company, who may have neglected to pay their assessments, that the time for the payment of the same will be extended until the 15th of Fobniary. after which time, delinquents will be called upon by a Collector, duly authorized to collect the same, and they will be subject to the payment of mileage as usual. All of which la moat respectfully aubmittard. TIIOIIAS S. WOODS, President. NATHANIEL E. SLAYMAKER, Sec'y. The following named persona were elected Directors for the ensuing year, viz: Thomas S.
