II EMIT CLAT OK SLAVERY,
Henry Clay has written a letter on the
subject of abolishing slavery in Kentucky,
a subject that will soon come before the
convention about to assemble to alter the
constitution of that state. Mis recommen
dation is to colonise in Africa, at the age of
25 all slaves born in Kentucky after 1855
or I860. All born in the mean time, be-
ng six years, would be slaves for life.
Alter they arrive at 25, they are to be leas
ed, or hired out by the slate, for three years
to pay the expense of transporting them to
Africa. According.to this plan 36 years
would elapse before a single slave would
be entitled to emancipation. .Mr. Clay
says that by adopting this plan, Kentucky
would become the pioneer in removing
Slavery from her soil. In this he is mista
ken. Vermont did this in 1777, Pcnnsyl-
vania and Massachusetts in 1780 and New
Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island
in 1784.

KF" The Legislature has passed an act
entitled
"ln Act relative to sales of Real Estate by per
sons acting in a fiduciary capacity.
This law enacts
"That all powers of sale contained in any
instrument which shall hereafter be made
and delivered by any person or persons to
his, her, or their agent or attorney in fact,
and all powers to sell or to let on ground rent,
real estate, continued in any will or oilier in
strument hereafter executed, shall be deem
ed and taken to authorize sales, conveyances
or leases, either public or private, unless ex
pressly restricted by said instrument to one
or the other mode."
The act also makes valid all such sales
that have been made, excepting when such
power expressly required a public sale.
This act was passed in consequence of Judge
Roger's opinion that such private sales are
invalid. We doubt much the policy of the
act. It leaves the door open to fraud,
which cannot be too well guarded, in
trust and fiduciary estates.
A SCENE IN THE SENATE.
In further illustration of the disordci which
characterized the last hours of Congress just

in the Senate from the correspondent oi tne

Mr. Berrien went on with his argument.

licrons attitudes, promenaded and fidg'Med
to give a Government to California. 1 will
agree to no such' thing. 1 will readily take
the Appropriation bill alone if I can do no
better. .
New questions of order then sprang up,
which were debated till 6 A. M:, when the
Senate finally cut off all amendments, (noes
only 7) and the Appropriation bill only was
sent back to the House, where it immediately
passed, and from whence it went to Presi

viously left the President's Room in the tear

The captain and his friend started the next
morning to make a further survey, and spent
a day iu poking about among tha sand both
on the banks of the river and in the dry beds

Kentuckian, had dogged us about, and look

what we were in search of, he had lighted on
some flakes of guld himself." The next day
the captaiu had fifty Indians at work ; but
the hews spread like wild-fire. Some of the
gold sent to San Francisco brought up crowds

Washington, March llth, 1849.
The Bill creating the Home Dermrtment is
so worded, that it is construed into a dismis
sal from office of tho whole personate of the
i-ateni uince, urn l.nnu utliee, the Pension
Office, nnd tho Indian Bureaux. I have wit
nessed the profound melancholy into which
this discovery, which was apparent enough
lor every w lug that voted tor tho liill, has
thrown the clerks of these respective offices,
and the spectacle was indeed heart-rending.
On the other hand, 1 hear that some of tho
snhordinates ot these bureaux will, under the
bill which invrs the Secretary of tho Interior
tho power to transter or rc-appomt them, be
retained, i nis, nowever, may do the ex
ception rather than Iho rule. Already Mr
r.wnig has risked these clerks to state how
long each of them has been in office, whom
he succeeded, and under what circumstances
he has been appointed. It this be tiue
which I wi l not vet permit mvself to be

Washington, March 13.
In the Senate to-day, tho Select Committee
in relation to the eligibility of Gen. Shields
reported a resolution that his election was
void, he not having been a citizen of thcUiii
ted States for the term of years required by
the Constitution of the Lr.ited Slates as the
qualification for V. S. Senate-.
Gen. Shields addressed the Senate, stating
that it was his intention to submit unresist-
inly, w hatever it might be, and look to the
State of Illinois to reinstate him. He also re.
ferred to the dilficully with Mr. Breese, aud
denied before the Semite and his God that in
the letter written by him he had tho slightest
idea of threatening assassination .-
Mr. Foote moved to postpone tho consid
eration of the resolution until the first Mon
day of December next.
The debate was continued by Messrs.
Foole, Turuey, Macon, Berrien, Webster and
Douglass
Mr. Webster moved to postpone until to
morrow, which was carried.
A message from the President was recei

i he in were the names of Messis. Evans, of
Maine, Payne, of North Carolina, and Smith,
of Indiana, as Commissioners to settle the
Mexican claims. Wm. Sloanaker was also
