WaiiioToi, Feb, 17, 1849. '
Senate --The bill from ths House provi
ding for tho establishment of a Home Depart
ment, was read and referred to the Committee
on Finance. ' , .
The Senate then took up the reso.ution,
jSTOsiy offered by Mr. Webster, directing
n inqiry to be made into the expediency
of requiring seen rity from emigrant paupers,
in order te prevent them from becoming a
publie charge. An amendment making pro
vision for orintinff certain decisions of the
Supreme Court on the subject, was thon sub
mitted and agreed to, ana we resolution
dopted.
Mr. Rusk, of Texas, teported a bill for the
establishment of a mail route from the Mis
sissippi river to Ran Francisco, California,
which was laid on the table, to bo printed.
: Mr. Foot, of Mississippi, presented the
memorial of Jes? Dow and others, in relation
to the construction of a railroad across the
Isthmus of Tehuantepec, which was also or
dered te be printed.
The resolution hitherto submitted by Mr.
Underwood, proposing to select and purchase
a locality for a burial ground in Mexico, to
receive the remains of our soldiers who fit
Tinned lhare during the late war, was taken
up and referred to tho Committee on Foreign
Relations.
Mr. Douglass gave notice that he would,
on Monday next, move to take up the bill
proviJing a territorial government for Cali
fornia.. Mr. Benton, of Missouri, submitted an a
mendment to the bill, striking out the ap
propriation oftl8fl,000 for the coast survey,
and inserting $30,000 j also, directing the
survey to be made exclusively by vessels
and officers of the navy, under the direction
of the President. He spoke with his accus.
tomed ability, in favor of making some modi
fication in the present system of a coast sur
rey. Hocsi. Mr. Vinton, of Ohio, offered a reso
lution to terminate the debute on the Mexi
can indemnity bill on Wednesday next.
On motion of Mr. Rockwell, the House then
went iiito Committee of the Whole, Mr. Ca
bell, of Florida, chairman, and took up the
Mexican indemnity bill.
Mr. Buckner, of Kentucky, addressed the
Comrnittee ou the slavery question and the
Mexican war in general.
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, followed, con
tending againsj all legislation far California,
and maintaining that two-thirds of the Senate
had no power to compel the House to vote
appropriations for the purchase of territories.
There was nothing in the speech that calls
special notice.
Mr Lahm, of Ohio, followed, and survey
d the Northern side of the question of slavery
He quoied several British precedents and le
gal decisions, and controverted tho assump
tion that slaves are property. He expatiated
upon the state of the slave representation of
the South, and opposed the movements and
principles of the abolitionists. This party
had power in the Souih, but they nevyr could
have in the North. He believed they were
tho instruments of some good, and much evil.
He replied to the Sonthern address which had
recently been put forth. Mr. L. having con
cluded, Mr. McClelland, of Michigan, obtain
ed the floor, but yielded to
Mr. Wilniot, of Pennsylvania, who dtMailed
a conversation which he held with President
Folk, two session ago, in which tho Presi
dent spoke of the three million appropriation
to efTect a pVace with Mexico, and expressed
the wi.h that a slavery restriction clause
should be attached to tho bill. The Presi
dent, in that conversation, assured the spea
ker, that if he would introduce a joint resolu
tion containing the proviso that slavery should
not exist in any territory which might be ac
quired from Mexico, it would be acceptable
even to Mississippi, nnd he urged him to
bring it forward in that form. Mr. Wilmot
aid he regretted thnt the matter had been
alluded to, simply because hd did not wish to
be considered a retailer of private consulta
tions not for any other reason. Ha whs not
disposed to shun responsibility ; and, he con
cluded, before God, this was substantially
what the President said.
On motion Adjourned.
Washington-, Feb. 18.
Senate Mr. King presented a memorial
from curtain citizens, proposing to carry the
mails and military stores across the Isthmus
of Panama, for the sum of not exceeding $12,
O00 per annum. Referred to the Military
Committee.
Mr. Yulee submitted a series of resolutions
passed by the Legislature of Florida, on the
subject of slavery and of the wrongs inflicted
on the South at the hands of the North. Mr.
Yulee moved that the resolutions be received
and printed. He said that although the reso
lutions were not addressed to Congress, still
they were of such a character that ho deem
ed it proper to present them. He said that
Northern ugressiuiis hid betn pushed so
far that he wa ready to proceed to extreme
measures of redress, even if it could only bo
accomplished by a dissolution of the Union.
The Taritt Question. The tariiT ques
tion, it appears, is not to b touched by Con
gress in the way of revision this session. A
correspondent of the New York Courier says
"it is not proposed to frame a biU at the ses
sion, because there is not lime enough left
for the task ; and if submitted, it would be re
jected by the Senate, but that several gen
tlemen, largely concerned in the manufactu
ring interest in different States, convened
here during the past week, for the purpose of
laying before the Committee of Ways and
Means a variety of valuable information re
specting the present tariff, the system prac
tised under it by foreign manufacturers and
their agents, and its operatkmmpon domestic
industry. The result of this conference was
a direction by that committee to Mr. Hudson,
of Massachusetts, to prepare a general report
on the subject of the tariiT. He expects to
complete it by the close of the week. It will
in- the main, recommend the substitution of
specific for ad valorem duties, and the ' adop
tion of a scald of ma derate duties, sufUcinnt

THE MILTOMAN AND THE SHERIFF, AUDI.
TORS, COMMISSIONERS, AND CLFRK
OF TIIH. COINTY.
Much has been said and written on the
licentiousness and venality of the Press, and
not, it must be confessed, without truth. But
probably its greatest prostitution is, when
those who have it under control, use it as
an engine to gratify personal revenge or pri
vate pique. We were led to these remarks
on looking over the last Miltonian, which
contains a most unjustifiable attack on Sheriff'
Covert, the Auditors, Commissioners and
Clerk of the county. It is not difficult to
understand why these attacks are now made,
and the shallow pretence that will no doubt
be set up, that it was for the public good,
will only serve to render the perpetrators
more contemptible in the eyes of an hon
est community. Who can doubt if Sheriff
Covert had favored the Miltonian with the
printing patronage of his office, that any
such attacks would have been made. When
the county is in danger of losing any thing
in the shape of taxes, or from any other
cause, by Sheriff Covert, it will be time
enough for the Miltonian to raise its croak
ing voice. But if we are rightly informed
(and we think the records will show that
we are,) the editors of the Miltonian are the
last persons who should complain of Mr.
Coverts delinquency. The county will
Jose nothing by Mr. Covert, in shape of
back taxes, but can as much be said of those
connected with the Miltonian! The ex
onerations on the Milton duplicate would
probably show who had most cause to com
plain, the county or the editors of that pa
per. We too think, "the citizens of Mil
ton should see to it pay up."
In regard to the Auditors' report, we
presume we should never have heard any
thing alledged against it, had the Commis
sioners of the county greased the palms of
the editors of the Miltonian with a little
of the Treasury pap. The report of the
Auditors, made up precisely as it is now,
has been published in the Miltonian for six
or eight years past, and not a word did the
editors ever alledge against it, for want of
clearness or precision. It was then "easily
understood," as the Miltonian then figured
in the report to the tune of alwut fifty dol
lars per annum, for printing ; but as the
Commissioners of the county have thought
proper to allot the printing to another, the
thing which for ten years past was clear as
mud, has become obscure to the mental vis
ion of these disinterested editors. The
film has at length fallen from their eyes,
and they have become patriotic and "honest
by compulsion." The Commissioners we
presume will continue to perform their du
ties so as to promote the best interests of
the county, without having the fear of the
Miltonian before their eyes.
The Clerk too it seems, according to
these wiseacres, is also to blame, as he
would, they say, "have a little more wri
ting to do if he made out a clear and satis
factory statement." How these-editors ex
hibit a degree of verdancy, that would make
even a schoolboy laugh, in making such a
charge. Every body knows, that knows
any thing, that the Clerk has no more to do
with the Auditors' Report, than the editor
of the Miltonian, and if the Auditors, were
to incorporate all the items a; entered by
the Clerk, the Miltonian could not contain
them.
QF" Appointments by the Canal Board.
It will be seen by the list of appoint
ments by the Canal Commissioners, that
Mr. Wilson of Northumberland has been ap
pointed Collector at that port, in place of
Mr. Morrison removed. Mr. A. L. DieTen
bacher of the same place, has been appoint
ed Cargo Inspector at Ilollidaysburg.
Tbey are both well qualified ibr the duties
of their rwpadiva o&tm.
QF The editors of the Miltonian axe
incessantly boasting of their circulation.
This stale trick is too well knrfwn to have
any effect, and is seldom resorted to by pa
pers of character and standing. We should
be very sorry to exchange our subscription
list for that of the Miltonian or give our
establishment for two such vaporing con
cerns. We shall let our paper speak for
itself. The editors of the Miltonian prefer
rather speaking for theirs.
. m Post Master at Cattawisba.
Charles Hartman has been appointed Post
Master at Cattawissa, in place of John
Schmick, resigned. The appointment is a
good one, and will give general satisfaction.
The Cabinet or the Presipent Elect.
The Cabinet-appointments, under Gen. Tay
lor, are the subject of comment and specula
tion. The matter begins now to assume some
definite form. The National Intelligencer
says that it has reason to believe that Gov.
Crittenden wi'l not be in the Cabinet, having
declined accepting any appointment, and the
Washington Globe, of Saturday, tells us who
will fill the office of Secretary of State. It
says:
We learn that a telegraphic despatch from
Gen. Taylor was received in this city this
evening, tendering the office of Secretary of
State to the Hon. John M. Clayton, of Dela
ware, and the reason for doing so, is, that the
Legislature of Delaware, which is now in ses
sion, and is expected to adjourn in a few days
may elect a Senator in the place of Mr. Clay,
ton, if he accepts. Tho Legislature will not
meet again for two years.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, Feb. IS, 1848.
The House has passed the bill establishing
a new Department of the Government ; but
instead of calling it the Ministry of the Inte
rior, It has after the fashion of England, been
dubbed "The Home Department." I have
no doubt whatever but that the Senate will
at onoe agree to the House bill, so that his
patronage increased, and his cabinet counoil
consist of seven persons instead of six, as is
now the case. This is important, as in the
present case, when the Cabinet is equally di
vided, the President i compelled to act as
umpire j while General Taylor, who as about
to have a Cabinet of seven ministers, to wit,
the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the
Minister or Secretary of the Home Depart
ment, the Secretaries of the Treasury, War
and the Navy, the Postmaster General and
the Attorney General, will never be embar
rassed by being obliged to decide between
the conflicting opinions of his Cabinet ; a
circumstance the prospect of which may have
materially increased the chances of the pas
sage of the bill.
The Free Soil candidate for U. S. Senator
from Ohio is Solomon P. Chase, a lawyer, of
Cincinnatti, and a Democrat in all his feelings
Unless the Democrats support the Free Soiler,
the latter will go for McLean.
In the various configurations of Cabinets, I
have always heard Pennsylvania alluded to
as "deserving" either a Cabinet Minister or
an Ambassador. Now that a new depart
ment is about to be created may the Keystone
of the Arch, without which General Taylor
would have been distanced, not expect to
have both 1 The names of the Hon. Joseph
R. Ingersoll, and Josiah Randall, Esqs.,
naturally occur to every one in the least de
gree acquainted with Pennsylvania politics.
Should Delaware furnish one of the Secreta
ries, there is no reason to think, that, on that
account, Pennsylvauia must be excluded.
The prospect is that the next administra
tion will be very ungrateful. Already Gen.
Taylor has declared that he recognizes no
party obligations, nnd that he will administer
the government without fear or favor. If
his sermon is as good as his text he will make
a first-rate President Nous verron$.
General Cass is expected here the end of
the week, nnd may thus be able to get the
start of Gen. Taylor, at least as regards their
respective arrivals in Washington. My opin
ion is that Gen. Cass' Senatorial career will
not be a long one.
Mr. Cass, the newly appointed Charge to
Rome, is still loitering here, waiting for the
reinstatement of the Pope in his temporal
and spiritual functions. If the Pope is to be
led back to Rome by Austrian bayonets, it is
to be hoped that the United States will not
degrade themselves and forfeit their high
standing at the head of the civilized world,
by sending young Cass to dance attendance
on him. Pope Pius IX, governing through
the hangman Radetzky, would be the most
miserable Pulcinello of all Italy. Congress
created the Chargeship in honor of a great
rational Italian movement, headed by the
head of the Catholic Church, not as a matter
of respect for the abstract papal dignity.
Observer.
A Sad Storv. Of two brothers, English,
of Memphis, fins looking and powerfully built
men, one died suddenly, about nine days ago.
He was buried, and his living brother, having
been impressed with the idea that a project
was on foot to resurrect the dead for dissec
tion watched over the grave. At three
o'clock in the morning he returned home,
feeling unwell, and at 10 o'clock of the same
morning he too was a corpse. A later num
ber of the Eagle states that the wife of the
brother, who died last, went out and watched
over his grave all the day subsequent to his
burial, returned home, and the next day she
too was dead. It is a singular and melan
choly episode in life's history.
Silver Seven Cent Pieces. Mr. Edward
Hinckley, of Baltimore, publishes a communi
cation demonstrating the great conveniences
that would result from the issuing of silver
coins of the value of seven cents each. This
project is very ingenious for any one who
may make a calculation, and find that such
coin would entirely supercede the use of
coppers, provided the payer and payed had
each a sufficient quantity of small change.
Thus, to pay one cent, give three seven cent
pieces and receive two ten cent pieces in
exchange ; to pay two cents give a seven and
a five cent piece and receive one dime in
change ; to pay three cents, give ten and re
ceive seven change, &c. &c.
Louis Philippe wishing to return to
France. The New York Coumer des Etats
Unit slates, on tho authority of the Corsaire,
(Paris paper,) that Louis Phillippe has ad
dressed a letter, both to the President of the
Republic and to Odilou Barrel, the President
of the Council, in which he protests the pu
rity of his intentions and his determination to
keep aloof from public affairs, in case he
should be allowed to leturn to France. He
and his sons, should they return to France,
propose to bind themselves by a formal oath,
to abandon all pretensions to the government.

Cool. The editor of the Sheboygan Mer
cury offers the following unmistakeable
apology for all short coinings in his paper.
Such an appeal must be irresistable ; Our
attention the past few days has been di
verted from business matters by fine heal
thy girl weighing about seven pounds, and
the fact of it being a relative and stranger,
we looked upon it like this, thai to neglect
it would be rather impolite. If our paper
does not contain its usual variety, it tbe ex
cuse sufficient.
President Polk's Retirement. The Na
tional Intelligencer says, "President Polk in
tends to vacate the Executive mansion on Or
about the 1st of March. He has engaged
rooms at the Irving Hotel, where he will re
main with his family until after the inaugu
ration of Gen. Taylor; after which they will
take their departure from the city."
The Bibli on which the first inauguration
oath waa taken by Washington, is still pre
served in New York, and will be taken to
Washington to be used at the inauguiation of
Gen? Taylor.

GUIDE !
Signor D'Alvear has iust arrived at New York.
from the Gold regions of California, by way of
ranama, urtagrea, and . New Orleans, bringing
with him a very large quantity of Gold ore, valued
st nearly one million of Dollars, which he collec
ted there, long before the existence of the Cold
mines became known to the residents of California
generally. K
HISTORY OF THE DISCOVERY !
8ignor D'Alvear went out to California nearly
two years ajto, in consequence of certain informa
tion w hich he had received of the geologiral char
acter of that country, with the firm belief that vast
mines of precious metal would be revealed there
ujion careful investigation. He was encouraged
to this enterprise, also by his confidence in the
powers of a certain Macnetic instrument which he
had invented, called "Ooldomctcr," by whose aid
he expected to be directed at once to the "Gold
Placers," if any such existed. Nor were his ex
pectations disappointed. His scientific calculations
proved to be found in truth and profound wisdom,
and his new instrument, the "Goldomcter," fulfil
led his highest hopes. In less than two months
after reaching California, he struck upon one of
the richcxt gold mines in that countrv. upon an
obscure branch of the Sacrato river, in a gorge of
inns extremely rockey ami difficult of access, and
seldom visited by the native Califoniians. Dis
guising his object under the pretence of purely
scientific research, he obtained the aid of some fif
teen or twenty simple and faithful Indians, and
steadily pursued his task, collecting often more
than 2,000 worth of gold in a single day, which
he concealed in a deep ravine, without exciting any
suKpicion whatever, until after the discovery of
gold at Captain Sutter's Mill, when the mountains
were ransacked by gold seekers, and Signor D'AI
vcar's "gold placer," the richest in all California,
was licset with greedy adventurers. It is now
found that the real mines or sources of the gold,
lie in the gorges of the mountains, and not in the
beds or sands of the rivers. Previous to leaving
California, Signor D'Alvear sold his instrument,
the Goldometer, a very inierfect ene, for $3,000.
The person who purchased it confidently expected
to make a handsome fortune, by simply finding
"gold placers" and selling out the right of digging
to the gold workers,
MAN! FACT I.' RE OF THE GOLDOMETER
PUBLICATION OF THE GUDE.
SiRtior D'Alvear, in compliance withtlie request
of numerous scientific gentlemen, has commenced
the manufacture of his new Mugnetic Instrument,
the Goldometer, which he now oilers for sale, in
thi United States, at the remarkably low prine of
?.f earn, accompanied hy full instructions tor use,
and a variety of Philosophical hints drawn from
the ancient and modern science, or the
ART OF FINDING MINES OF GOLD!
Silver, Platinum, (Quicksilver, Coal, Iron, Co
per. Irad. and other Mineral Riches, the whole be
ing given in a publication cilled the
GOLD SEEKER S GUIDE !
This new work, and the Goldomcter, are both
now ready for sale.
The Goldomcter is so simple an instrument,
that a child may learn to oerute with it in five
minutes. It is not 0 fleeted by climate, moisture,
or any other known cause, (except the natural
mat-net,) and will retain its power of pointing out
mineral riches in the earth for any number of
years. Hy the aid of the Guide any person may
use the instrument at anee with perfect success,
FARMERS AND LAND OWNERS.
Farmers and Laud Owners throughout the Uni
ted States, who have reason to susjiect the exis
tence of any kind of Mineral riches upon their
lands, should avuil themselves of this opportunity
to left that fact, by the surest of all known tests,
before the abundance of discoveries in all parts of
the country shall have lessened this source of
wealth in their est.ite.
ADVENTURERS TO CALIFORNIA.
Persons going to California cannot make a let
ter investment than by purchasing one of these
instruments, which will not only be worth fifty
times its value there, to sell aguin, but will be of
inestimable worth to those who go in search of
Gold, as lias been proved by the most abundant
experiment both in California and the United States
TESTIMONIALS.
Signor D'Alvear does not does not deem it ne
cessary to encumber this notice with a long list of
testimonials, in proof of the value of his GOLD
OMETER and GOLDSEEKER'S GUIDE. The
brilliant results of his l.iliors in California, and the
discovery, this very week, of fresh veins of Gold
in Virginia, and lxds of Coal in Rhode Island, by
it use, are alone sufficient to stamp it as the greatest
discovery of the age. Nothing but the extreme
cheapness of the instrument, and his desire to see
it used for the benefit of mankind induces him to
disjMMe of it at the low price of which he oilers it.
Besides this, his own desire for wealth is nearly
satisfacficd.
The following Testimonials, in proof of the
value of the Goldomcter, selected from a great
numlier equally satisfactory, must suffice for the
suffice for the present 1

The undersigned, having this day withessed
tho practical operation of Signor Jose DeAlvear'
newly invented magnetic instrument, the Golii

doubt thut it will prove invaluable aid in the dis
covery of the Mineral resources of the United
States and the world.

This may certify that the undersigned is fully
convinced that Signor JoseDe Alvear wssthe first
disco veror of the Gold desposite of California, and

In consequence of the difficulty of finding faith
ful agents, and of preventing frauds, where articles
of this nature are sent out for general sale, Signor
De Alvear has determined to sell none of hi work
or instruments unless ordered by letter aent di
rectly to him, when the desired publication, or in
