The following beautiful eulogy on the death of tho Hon. Thomas L. Haiieis, of Illinois, was delivered y6sterday, i n •the United States Senate, by Hon. Stephen’A. Douglas. We are indebted to an atthntive Wasbington cor respondent for a copy of .it In time to lay it before our readers this morning t Mr. President: For the first time during my pubiio service, has it beoome my mournful duty to join in an ofiuial tribute of respect and venera- Jtion to the memory of a colleague from my own Btate. - The message from the House of Represen -■tatiVes has announced to the Senate the death' of Tbomaa -L Harris, a well-known Representa tive from*'Hie State of Illinois.' Bis deohnlng health—the . result .of severe expomres In thb . military* servieo of his country—had long since - impressed* upon Mb family and immediate' friends/the storn necessity of pre paring their minds and hearts for this affiloting bereavement. With a constitution broken, and sinking slowly bat oertainly under an inourable disease, and while calmly awaiting a result whioh he was conscious was inevitable and rapidly ap prbaohlng. be retained and displayed the indomi table energy, oonrage, 'and fortitude, which had characterised hlswhole life, and enabled him until the hour of his death to perform his whole duty to bis family and, to society—to his State and the .Union. He died at his home, in Petersburg, Me nora county, Illinois, on the 14th of November, 1868, ofpulmonary consumption. The history of Thomas L Harris may be stu died, and hfs example followed with safety and honor by the youth of our bOuntry. Bern in Nor wich, .Connecticut, on the 29 th of October, 1816, he was only two years of age when his father died, leav ng him- and a younger brother dependent upon a widowed mother for support By his own exertions—with the labor of his own hands—he obtained the meaUß to acquire an education, and graduated with oredit at Trinity College, Hart ford/Conn., in 1841.. Dariog bis senior year in oollege be beoame a student at law in the office of Gov..Touoey, now Seoretary of the Navy, and pur sued his studies with assiduity and suooess In Deoember, 1841, he removed to Amherst oounty, -Virginia, where he oontlnned the study of the law, while teaohlng sohool to obtain the means of support. 1n'1842 he to the bar in Virginia/and the same year removed to Peters burg/ Msnora oounty, Illinois, where ho oom meDoed.the.prae tics of.his profession, and resided until the period of his death: He rose* rapidly in his profession, and had al ready acquired an enviable reputation as a lawyer, when the Mexioan war broke out and oallod him to another field of duty. -In May, 1846, he raised a company of volunteers and was elected their captain. ‘ He joined the Fourth Regiment of Illi nois Volunteers, under the oommana of 001. Baker, /and, on the 4th of July of that year, was oleotod major l ,of the regiment. After reaching Mexico, the ab&cDbe .and, sickness of the colonol and lioutebant colonel devolved the command of tho regiment on Major Harris; and in this position he displayed in an eminent degree the qualities of the soldier and the officer—courage, energy, promptitude, and discipline. He soon became obnsploubas, winning the applause of his superiors and the confidence and . love of thoso andcr his command. At Vera Graz, as well as at Cerro Gordo, after the fall of General Shields, when the command of the brigade devolved upon Colonel Baker and that ef the regiment on Major Harris, in consequence of the siokness of the lieu tenant colonel, the gallantry of my friend beoame historical,, as appears by the official despatches of Gen. Scott,' Commandicg.in-Ohief, aid those of Major General Patterson and Colonel Baker. Baring hfs absence in Mexioo M»jor Harris' was elected by tho people to the State Senate of Itlinob, notwithstanding the district had provionsiy given a decided ma jority, in opposition to tho political party to whioh he belonged. Returning from the war sar roundad with honors, whioh hiß fellow-citizens all t-ok pride in Awarding to him, and which he boro with & modesty in harm'ony with bis oharaoter, be again .engaged in the practioo of his profession with that earnest ness of character wbiob was apart of his nature. But he had become an objeot of too much pubiio interest to bo allowed to remain long in private life. In 1813 bo became the nominee of tbeßomocratlo party, with which bo was always .thoroughly identified, for Congress, in a district which had uniformly given a decided Opposit : on majority, and was triumphanUy elected upon the distinct issue of non-intervention by Congress with Savory in States or Territories. His course in Con - gress was bold, manly, and unequivocal; always adhering striotly to the principles upon whioh ho was elected. He. supported, by vote and speech, the legislation of 1850, known as the Compromise meamres; and never failed to defend the author of those measures and the prlnoiples involved in •hem, whenever and wherever assailed. In 1854, when sectional strife raged with its greatest fury, nnd mon of lees nerve quailed before the storm. Major Harris again beoamo the candidate of bis party for Congress in his district, whioh had been obanged so ss to oonforip new apportion ment, and was then represented by a political opponent.' In this contest he stood forth the b6ld' and' fearless obampion of the principles embodied in the Kansas-Nebraska act, and on thatdißtinct issno.be was elected by about two hundred'majority over his popular antagonist. Maintaining in Congress, with ability and fidelity, the priooiplea on whioh be was elected, he, for tho third time, beoame the chosen leader of his party by a nnahimons vote in 1856, and after on ardaous and seVere canvass, pending tho Presidential elco tion.pf that year, he was re eleoted by about two thousand majority. The course which Major Har ris felt lt his duty to pursue on the important and exciting question whioh engrossed tho attention of Congress during the last session, is familiar to the Benate and the country. Whatevor diversity of opinion may exist, here or elsewhere, in regard to the merits of tbat oontroversy, all will unite in bearing/testimony to the ability, fidelity, and gallantry with which he maintained and defended -bfo-ooneoUaUoßJ-oonvietione.* When Congress ad journed. he returned to his. home in the beloved State of bis adoption, worn down and exhausted bv excessive labor, and sinking slowly under tho , Ufeots of a'.disease whioh even his energy and will could, ho longer resist. Ho received the unani mous nomination-of the Democratic party for re election to Congross, and was fileotea on the 2d of last November oy about fear thousand majority Contrary to the advice of his physicians, and in >ippoaUion to the urgent and affeotionate remon strances of hla friends, he insisted upon holng car ried to the polls, that he might pay the last tribute -'to his political faith aed perform bis lost duty to bis oountry. -He lived to rooeive complete returns of the ,eleotion In the .entire State, and to write affeotionate letters of oengrptulation to those with ftrhom he had uniformly aoted on pubiio Questions, and in who!e.Buocess he cherished a'deep and heartfelt interest : 'MfljorNarrjß left a wife and four small children, to whom he. was tenderly, ardently, and devotedly attached.

Philadelphia Book Trade Sales* *Wq are .glad to learn that the book, paper, and stationery trade sales, which aro to com mence in thi/city oh the filst of March, under the management of M. Thomas & Sons, pro mise to be very extensive. We understand that all of the Boston publishing ani many of the Mew York houses, as well as all the prin oipal publishers ofthta oity, will make contri butions to these sale s, and from present ap pearances thoir catalogue will be very large. Public Entertainments* The Opera.— The audience at the Ao&demy ef Music list not quite so overwhelming an outpouring, in point of numbers, os the de monstrations of Friday and Saturday, was very large, and not by any means lacking in point of enthusiasm. The announcement of Piccolomioi *k;Viotetta— a delightful part at all times in tho hands of a fine artiste—was of itself a deoidedly at tractive baitto opera-goprs; and Mr. Uilman, with his usual cleverness of management, Acted wisely in making the judioious selection as a parting eard for the fascinating prime donna. Wo will not say that, for Picoelcmini, tho trial was a severe aod arduous ono, for that'would bo unjust. Yot it cannot be denied that a very strong prestige has attaobed to Madame Gazzaniga’s rendering of the role, and that to venture in the sarao field with one who has, somehow or other, won over directors and stockholders into making a bust of hor in marble, and a full-length portrait in oil, needs no little courage,'if not a slight smack of presumption. Those who wero present last night had an oppor tunity of judging how far Gazzaniga’s prestige was shaken, end how truly, and how touobingly was given, in action and in equelo, the ideal of the erring,,why ward, yet deeply-loving “Dime aux Cameliasf It is not risking too much to say that if there was’ any'single point in which a dleorepanoy could be detected between Mnd’Jle Piocolomlni’s repre sentation of the author's creation, and the living being of actual life, it was in the childish inno 'ceftce of’ekpreulon and aotlon which seemed every moment to' newly oonvinco the auditor that there could be no earnest partnership between vice and virtue; Sach a winning simplicity of nature as beamed from Mod’ll© Picoolomini’s features, last night, could never be imagined to have any feeling in common with tho fallen »* lost ono ” of Verdi’s libretto. ’ Tho effort, therefore, to associate purity' andjofeliness with such was a trying effort for the Imagination u> realize, and the audi ence were willing enough to forget the character ' and to-only, see-Fiooolominl. The oontrast Wes too strong, the antithesis too abrupt and.startliog, not to strike the eye and to touch the feelings. / This, however, did not diminish— U ratbor Served tobefghten the enthusiasm of the audieneo, - • . The opening song of “ Libbtamo” went off with infinite'rest, as full of sparkle as the bumpers of ohampagne wbioh danced in harmony in the glit tering goblets. It brought down no encore of the heartfestkind. The solo scone, wkioh succeeded, was.an excellent test of Mad’lle Picoolomlni’s powers, and the trial developed a force of musloal expression with which, till then, tho audience had not credited her. Nothing oould have been more effective than the two lines beginning “ Obeeporo dr pin V y and which was so beaatifally rounded off with the rollioking aria of ‘‘.jSempro libera,” into 'whioh. Piooolomini infused a devil-may-oare insouciance perfectly deliolouß .The succeeding acts were equally brilliant, and added still more to the impression made by the first.; The criticisms of the audience were many, and, between the intervals of the opera, the buzz of conversation was general all over tho bouse, and comparisons with Gazzanlga wero freely ha zarded As to the conception,of tho part, we aro confident - that Piccolomioi has approached more ndarly the Idea of the author. She has given, in -deed; to the rfif© a new intensity of expression It yet received V./BigndrFlorehza, as Germont , was a great acceß. >lon to the mufiicalatrength of tho' opera; giving the part all the pathos whioh it demanded. 'llia yoice is fall and mellow, and always managed with the oareful judgment ofia true artiste Sig. Lorini did full justloe to the music. Hts voice is a sweet* tenor, of fair compass.. His defect seems to be the same sort of failing whioh detraots at timts from Brignoli’s performances—a want of dramatic ac tion. The oborus'waB, ns usual, in excellent training, and, as Verdi’s operas oatmot be rendered without this important adjunot properly oared for, it added an infinite oharm to the whole opera. Tboorohestra elioited praise from all parties. It has never been equalled before in Philadelphia. The prospeot for Wednesday is very flattering- The production of so grand an opera as the “ Huguenots,” on such a stage as that of the Academy, must be no ordinary event, and there will be undoubtedly an overflowing bouse. Thus far Manager Ullman has fulfilled to tho letter every promise made to the pubiio, and this gives a positive confidence that every opera announced will be oertainly produoed. The vory natural result is, that the Academy will continue to be jammed overy night. We should like to learn whether the directors of tho Academy of Music have yet made any ar rangement for the next year’s season. If they wish to have a certainty of opera, and an equal oertainty of profitable returns from crowded houses, we inoline to the belief that they need not look far to secure the proper manager to bring about the gratifying result. BY MIDNIGHT MAIL.- Letter from Washington* [Oorreapondenoe of The Press.] Washington, Jan. 17,1859. The caucus of Democratic Senators, held on Sa turday last, was the first oalled sinoe Leoompton went down to the grave unsung. A oharaoteriatio of the oauous on Saturday was, that it was agreed that no Demoeratio Senator should be bound to pursue any particular oonrse about Cuba, but that all should be left to support or oppose the Slidell thirty-million bill as they seer proper It seemed also to be understood that no oauous, Senatorial or otherwise, had a right to prescribe a test upon any Senator, concerning any measure before Congress. I perceive that a telegraphic despatch of this friendly meeting has got into the newspapers, how lam unable to say. Upon inquiry, I learn that some surprise was manifested that Judge Douglas should have Indicated his disposition to vote the thirty millions into the hands of the President for tho purohase of Cuba. Knowing pretty well what his feelings are on this subject—for he made no se oretof them before going into a canons—lcommit no breach of oonfidonoe, Senatorial or otherwise, when I say that Judge Douglas believes that, with tho information before himself, the request for the thirty millions, to negotiate for the pur chase of Cuba, is somewhat strange; but, iuas muoh as tho President had aeked for it, and as he had meanß of obtaining information of whioh tbe oountry were not advised, Douglas is willing to let the Presidont make the trial, and take tho re sponsibility of going before the .oountry, enjoying tho responsibility of failuro or saooess. lam told that Senator Hunter, of Virginia, does not hesitate to say that if tho thirty millions asked for Cuba' should bo voted, ho did not know whero the mo ney was to come from, as there was none in'tho Treasury. The bill fet tho codlflo&tion of the revenue laws, now before the Houso, Is a mountain of corruption and onght to be defeated. Ouo clause iii it alone ■gives Cobb power to appoint an indefinite number of seorot a goats to oxamine the mint, assay office, and the book 3 of all the onstom-bouses and treasu rer’s offioes, paying them six dollars a day and travelling expenses. Under this provision two thousand mercenaries could and would be ap pointed to toko chargo of the business .of packing Slate and National Conventions. I prodiot its defeat. Tho Demooratio members of the Legislature of Maine, In regular meeting assombled, unanimously adopted the following resolutions, thus adding another State to our column. ''They assert, as you will see, tho ontlre popular sovereignty platform, without whioh it is ovldent that no Northern State ean be carried in 1860. These resolutions are more significant, Inasmuch as they were passed by a body expeotod to be controlled by the offioers of tbe Federal Administration who are eoattered in great profusion over that State. Mr. Pierce, from the committee, reported -the following, which were read separately and unani mously adopted: “Resolved. That wo hold It to be sound and unexceptionable doctrine, that if the people of a Territory are in favor of slavery, they have a right to make laws to establish and protest it, and if they are opposed to slavery, they have an equal right to make laws to exolude it. I( Resolved , That it is our deliberate and fixed purpose to declare that Congress should, in no event, pass any aot to establish, proteot, or sus tain slavery in the Territories of tbe United States, or to exolude it therefrom, but should promptly guarantee to the sovereign people there of the undisturbed right to dispose or it in their own way, and without interference or molestation, from any quarter, subject only to the express pro visions of the Constitution. “ Resolved, That we are in favor of the Imme diate admission of Oregon, and also of the admis sion of Kansas into the Union, whenever a Consti tution, republican in form, truly, and honestly ratified by the popular vote of said Territory, Bhall be presented to Congress. • "Resolved, That the newspapers of this State be reapeotfuily requested to publish the foregoing resolutions, unanimously adopted by the Dcrao oratlo membors of tho Maine Legislature, in con vention assembled.” In addition to the above, the Demooraoy of New Hampshire,in their last Convention, unanimously endorsed sentiments to the same effect with the above, and refused to pass a resolution unquali fiedly endorsing the Administration of Mr. Bu ehanan. Another Item of intelligence showing tho progress of the same Irresistible sentiment is as follows: The Democrats in the Legislature of Indiana have agreed upon Douglas men for the officers of Stato Agent, State Treasury, and Superintendent of the Penitentiary. All sides havo met in cations and unanimously nominated these mon to be elected by joint ballot In the Legislature. P/ONKEB. A Relic of the Past* The following remlnißoenoe of other days was re produced, a few days since, in one of our courts of justfoo: Philadelphia, Nov. 28,1833. Remonstrance against Lighting with Gas. To the Honorable, the Select and Common Coun- cils , of the City of "Philadelphia: Gentlemen:—The Subscribers beg leave re speotfully to remonstrate against tho plan now in agitation for Lighting the City with Gab, as they consider it a most inexpedient, offensive, and dan ?;erous mode of lighting. In saying tble, they are ally sustained by the accounts of Explosions, Loss of Life, and great destruction of property, where this mode lighting has been adoptod. TVeoonsidor Gas to bean artiole as ignitidle os Gunpowder, and nearly as fatal in its effects ; as regards the immense destruction of property, we believe the’va'it number of fires in New York and other cities, may be in a groat measure as oribod to this mode of lighting, the leakage oi pipes and carelessness of stopping off the Gas furnish almost daily instances of its destructive effects. And when we consider that this Power ful aud Destructive Agent, must necessarily be offon left to the o.iro of youth, domesiios, and care less people, we only wendor that the oousequonces havo not been more A willing: It is also an un certain light, sometimes suddenly disappearing, and leaving streets and houses in -total darkners. The Waters of the. Delaware and now oonFidurod tho most pure and salubrious in tbo world, asm&ny long voyngeshave fully tosted, must soon, wo fonr, experience tho deterioration which has reduced the water of tho Thames to tho present impure and unhealthy state, for no reservoir wilt be able to contain tho immense fetid drafns from such an establishment, and very soon tbo rivers must be thoir receptacle to the destruc tion of tho immense Shoals of Shad, Herring , and other fish with which they abound; tbo same cause must produce like effects. Salmon , Smelts , and other fish, formerly caught .in vast quantities in the Thames, have nearly nil disappeared; the constant digging up of the streets, the oiroum etanco of the gas pipes wbioh at the intersection of eaoh square must oome in oontaot with the water pipes, are difficulties and evils which we would anxiously avoid. In conclusion, we earnestly solicit that the lighting our city with oil may be continued. And your petitioners, &0., Ac.

ELLIOTT, DURAND, nCNTINOTON, AR TISTS* RECEPTIONS, ARTISTS’ OHARITADLB PUND. [Correspondence of The Press.] Harper's Magazine for February, of •which I have just received the advanced sheets, will be found quite entertaining aud well illust'ated. The opening paper is 11 Washington at Moorestown,” by Rev Joseph F. Tattle, (fifteen Illustrations;) next, “Rthsn Alien and his daughter,'* a neat llttl* poem of 'half-a dozen verses, by 0. o.' Cox; third, “Pollies of Fashion,by a clever gentleman named NordljolF, well known to the witty and wealthy fraternity of writing men of this city. All tbe absurdities and oddities that have gone up like' a rocket and come down like a stick in the empyrean of ton, from the dandles of ISSB. who wore “ hoie pleated as though they had thirty pockets, two yards wide at tbe top; petticoat breeches, tied above the knee; ribbons op to tbe pocket holes, then ribbons hanging all about tho waistband, and shtrt hanging out 1 * —which last fashion msy be said to have altogether died out among our modern dandies—all are minutely de scribed and authentically illustrated.. The writer elances at tbe petticoats of 1710, at the hoops, caps and sacks of 1796, at the apparel of the Spanish gentlemen of 1560; the perukes, hats, wigs,> and held dresses of 1690 and 1690 ; the female costuides of 17*3 and 1791; the oommodee, tho towers, the hats, hrods, balloons and baskets of later days, down to the time of George IV, whose cast-os' toggery sold at auction, after hie death, for s4s,ooo—having cost him, It is esti mated, nearly, if not quite, a hundred thousand pounds s'eMing. The article exhibit* research, is very enter tfiniog, and, >f thoroughly, read np Jhy young men and maidens before going to parties, will supply ample ma terial for fashionable chat. The fourth article is on “la Plata,” by Mr Guernsey, the “ literary reader ’* at Harper’s, whose cleverness, industry, tact, and un mistakable good sense ’and discriminating judgment, render him admirably adapted for the peculiarly lively boriness of wading through reams upon reams of ma nuscript works, offered for publication and winnowing the wheat from the ohsff. His business is to do “ne tMngelse” than’read other people’s prodoctions. but this artlolo on “ La Plata” shows that be is capable of doing good things of his own. Following Mr. G Is “A Woman’s Poem.” by R H. Stoddard, a very sweet thing. Next, a story by Alice B. Neal, entitled “ Paying the Piper ” lam not at liberty to give the names of tbe writers of the three succeeding artleles “Found Floating on the Wate’,” “A Christmas in Hamburg,” and “Hintsoo Self-cultnre.” The story following this, entitled “ Hester G*ahame: One Wo man’s Life,” is by Miss Sawyer. I need not allude to the remainder of tbe number, which includes four ohepters of l ‘ Tbe Virginians,” the Monihly Record of Current Events, Literary Notices, Editor’s Table, Easy Chair, and Drawer. The funniment, at the close, is “ Nondles’s Attempts at Soioido.” Thus yon luvethe things in Harper for February, and who did them It is stated by a New Yo*k correspondent of the Lon don Critic, that three extensive publishing houses of New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, hare united for the purpose of bringing oat a new Encyclopedia—the first volume of which Is to appear in April or May Hearn from Col. Scbonler, tho clever editor cf the Boston Atlas and Bee. who was here last week, and who is of Scotch descent, that the Scotchmen of Boston are all agog about the celebration of Burns’ birthday, on the 25th.

THE MATCH OF MORPHV A 2TD ANDERSSEN—AN OTHER CHALLENGE TO STAUNTON. The grand ehess xnatoh between Messrs Mor phy and Anderssen closed on Tuesday, in favor of tho American. The gamo stood : Morphy, 7; An dersaen, 2; drawn, 2. The utmost courtosy and good feeling reigned during the whole oourso of the matoh, and nothing ocourrod between tho con testants to mar tho good opinion each had formed of the other before commencing the game. It was played, too, without any of those harassing preliminaries whioh tho English insist on, and whioh Tender a game of ohesa a sort of prize-ring or raoe-courso. < The two gentlemen met and agreed verbally that the winner of the first seven games should be dool&red tbe viotor, and ttat they should com mence playing every day at IZo’olock in presence of a few invited friends. These wero all the pre liminaries, and, as tho result shows, they sufficed amply M Anderssen will return iminedlatoly to his olass of mathematics at Breslau, carrying with him the goad opinion and tho friendship of -al\who have had the plcasuro of meeting him here. Mr. Morphy may now sit down and shed tears at leisure, for he has no more worlds to oonquer. It has been a sourooof ohagrin to him that ho has not been able to obtain a matoh with Staunton, so as to put a stop to his boastings and prevarications, but the world will agree that tbe fault does not He with Morphy, and that, therefore, ho is to be considered, as Staunton’s superior so long as tho tatter Tofusca a matoh. Mr. Morphy offers now to play Mr. Staunton and give him ft pawn and a move; but of course no player of-Mr. Staunton’s supposed calibre would aocept such au offer. . Mr. Morphy, however, is justified, after the course of Mr. S., in making suoh an offer, and he says to his friends that ho is sure ho can boat him with that ndvan tago. On Saturday night last, M. Harrwitz played a blindfold game of ofghfc at the Cafe do la Bo genoe, after tho manner of Morphy, of which’he gained six, was beaten ono, and drew oho. Btit his opponents were but third-rate players, (the Prince Gal&tzln wns of the number,) and Morphy dcoiares that he will play a blindfold gamo of twenty on the same conditions. Y. Times.
