E&TKACTft OF LETTERS FROM THE EDI TOR, DATED WAHiaT0N, July 2, I860. In the Senate this morning Gen. Houfton, it was understood Would speak on the message of the President in relation to sending more troop to New Mexico; but at the morning wa nearly Consumed in preliminary matters, the question was' at hii request postponed until to-morrow. Mr. Yulee then oalled up his resolotion for the adjournment of Congress on the 1st of August next. This brought up Mr. Clay, and I had the pleasure, for the first time in my life, in listoning to the great Ken tucklnn, who; as an orator, old asheis, stands without a rival in Congress. He had scarce ly made erect his tall and manly form, when the busy hum of the Senate became hushed, and a death-like silence pervaded the cham ber. ' He began by stating that no man was more anxious that the present session should came to a termination than himself, and that fj none needed repose more than he, but he W0UIU B8 scon mm ' ueserimg battle in the heat of the conflict, as to desert his post now, before those momentous and important questions that, agitates Congress and the country, are settled. In making the simile or comparison above described, he stood as erect as the pillar of Hercules, and in language clear and emphatic, and a voice which is music in itself, sent forth a thrill that electrified the whole body. The whole did not occupy five minutes, but short as it 'was, it ' was a rich treat to those who never heard him, and afforded a fair speci men of the charms of that eloquence to which the whole country has been doing ho mage for nearly half a century. There are men in the Senate more learned and more profound than Mr. Clay, but as an orater and in thrilling eloquence none can ap proach him. Mr. Clay asked for a postpone ment of the resolution for two weeks, which, after some remarks by Mr. Webster, Mr, King and Judge Douglass in favor, and Mr. Yulee, in opposition, was adopted. Mr.Hale of New Hampshire, the great abolition Sena tor, who in his manner and appearance much resembles friend Pollock our late. member, took the floor not to oppose Mr. Clay's mo tion, but to declare that the beBt thing they could do was to adjourn forthwith, that there was no excitement with the people, that members of Congress by working them selves into a passion and perspiration, by loud speeches, imagined the whole country in the same condition with themselves. In Btature Judge Douglass is the smallest man in the Senate, being hardly as large as our humble self. Though apparently young he already ranks as one of the strong men of that body. The orders of the day being called, Mr. Up ham concluded his speech which, though sensible in itself, had no charms for the Sena, tors or the audience. 1 called to see the President this morning. Good nature and a contented disposition, are indicated in every lineament of his face. He is very anxious to have the slavery question settled, and have something done with the tariff, as great frauds, he says,' are commit ted under the present system. ' Washington still contains a few of those who figured in the Revolution. The widow of Alexander Hamilton, who was taking an airing in her carriage on Sunday last, was pointed out to me. She is now ninety-three years old one of the few living links that connects the past with the present century, and is universally esteemed for her private virtues, as well as from the fact of being the widow of one of the ablest men ol his time. The duties of Congress are becoming, hot only tedious, but irksome, and members are frequently absent. It is, however, but justice to say, that the delegation from no state has been as attentive, as that from our own state, including democrats and whigs. Columbia House, Cape Island, ) Caps Mat, July th, 1850. J . Cape May, it is generally conceded, is the finest bathing ground in the Union. The concourse of people assembled here, du ring the months of July and August, is im mense. The town, which is handsomely lo cated about three miles from the point of the Cape, has been built up within the last ten years, and contains quite a number of large Hotels. Mr. Harwood, of the Columbia House, as usual takes the lead, and has al ways about four hundred guests. Since the last season he has enlarged his house, by adding an entire new wing, about 150 feet Its proximity to the beach the surf of the broad Atlantic, rolling almost into the beau tiful grounds fronting the house, together with the handsome accommodations and the attention of its obliging host and attendants( makes it a most desirable stopping place. A breeze is constantly blowing from the ocean, enabling one to "keep cool" no matter how high the Mercury may rise in the thermom eter. The beach is composed of pure white sand, and is almost as level and solid as a marble floor, and in the evening is thronged with visitor promenading: The hours for bathing are generally from S to 6 and 11 to 12 A. M-, and from 5 to 6 P. M. The most exciting and interesting scene is at 11 o'clock when all the hotel pour forth their crowds upon the beach, men, women and children, young and old, from gray to gay. The bathers put on their rigging in little sheds or huts, close to the water edge. The gentlemen are generally attired in red flannel shirts, and breeches of the came material. Barefooted and mostly bareheaded, in their gambols in the water, they might, not inaptly, be com pared to o many half tamed Indian. The ladie in a loose flannel wrapper, with a belt round the waist, and pants of the same mate rial, a course straw hat bound with red, convey to the imagination a vivid idea of the gypsies a represent ;d in the toy books of child reu, especially as they come tripping over the beach, barefooted and dripping with water, like o many halfdrowned rat. "Pret ty feathers make a pretty bird," is an old maxim, but the converse is equally, if not more substantially, true. There is no poetry or romance in the bathing dress with the sarf rotting over yoe All distinction seem levelled. The charms of the blooming Miss have few, if any, advantages over the furrow. 4 cheek of her elder sister. Even the poetry of a "pretty ankle" is lost In the ab-1 sence of the stocking snd the slipper. Shakes peare, when he said "beauty unadorned, was adorned the most" certainly had no reference to a lady in her bathing attire. One would hardly suppose the many fair forms, spark ling eyes and blooming cheeks, which you you meet in the promenades and parlor du ring the evening, were the same, that had Peen wriggling like "eels in the mud'! on the beach! l y i-i.H..h'Ui;LI . . Bathing in the surf i not only delightful, but exhileraliqg, . Pew can look on . without wishing to join in the muss. 'To' watch the wave, that has traversed the ocean for a thou sand miles, until in its course it comes career ing high over your head, is a poetio .reality that cannot be described. . The facilties for reaching Cape May are such as to induce thousands to embrace the opportunity. The New York line of Boats, the Penobscot And Kenebeck are doing a fine business. ' They leave Philadelphia at 11 o'clock A. M., land passengers herein the evening and arrive at New York next morn ing, affording a fine sea voyage. Returning, one can take the cars of the Camden and Amboy rail road, and thus make a pleasant round trip at a very moderate price. ' The gay season has just properly com menced. The first ball, or hops, as they ire here called, came off this evening at Lud lam's Mansion House, in the splendid saloon known as the Kurs'al. This is a beginning of a series of hops that will be given by the different large Hotels. On such occasions, the guests of the different hotels are invited. The ball is given at the expense, and under the management of the guests of the Hole' at which it takes place. I stepped in this evening for an hour, to witness the proceed ings. Allhongh a large audience was assem bled, and a fine band of musio playing, but few were willing to take the floor and a great portion of these, were young boys and girls, two little girls about 5 or 6 years old, leading off in a gallopade. On Thursday evening one of these hops is to come off at this Hotel the Columbia House, and will be, no doubt, judging from the large and fashionable as semblage there, a brilliant affair. Besides Mr. Harwood is not the man to suffer a failure, in any thing from his bands. THE WEBSTER CASE. Another hearing in behalf of Prof. Webster waa had on Monday, before the Committee of the Executive Council. Various petitions for a commutation of the unfortunate man's sentence, were presented. The final hearing of the case, was, by the desire of Webster's friends, postponed. '", ' - "' A petition was presented for clemency, signed by 983 persons of New York city two from Franklin county, New York, and two from Michigan. The Lieutenant Governor stated that a large number of petitions for a commutation of the unhappy sentence was received from all parts of the country one from Mr. Green, a juryman in the case, and two or three others from persons who said they themselves committed the murder, and not Professor Webster. Several medical men were present, and showed that a blow on the head, such as that which Professor Webster said he gave Dr. Parkman, often caused death in a short time. Mr. Edwin Jarvis cited two instances to prove the ungovernable temper of Professor Webster, and how soon it was oVer. In one case, Dr. Webster, when a student, commen ced the play of knocking off hats with a fel low student, in which Webster got lather the worst of it. Finally, Webster got enraged, seized a stick and would have given his companion a deadly blow had he not been prevented. The next moment it was all over with him, and he did not evince the least resentment whatever. At another time, while in London, Profes sor Webster was being shaved, when Dr. Lathford playfully remarked, "Did you ever see a barber shaVe a monkey?" Mr. Webster was much enraged at this, and seized a knife and would have struck at Dr. L., had he not been prevented. Dr. Jeffries Wyman was introduced to show that Dr. Parkman' skuil was a little thinner than the average of persons. A petition was presented by Professor Brown, signed by President Sparks, and nearly all the Professors of Harvard College, praying for a commutation of sentence, not on the gronnd of his late confession he, as they say, having forfeited all claim to be be lieved but on the great probability that ex ists that the act was not premeditated. Professor Bowen urged a delay, in oider to obtain more direct petitions in the case. The case was then postponed until the 18th inst. Thb New Wiat Bridge at Nashville. The new wire suspension bridge over the Cumberland river, at Nashville, now nearly completed, is spoken of as a superb structure in all respects. It extreme length is six hundred and seventy-two feet; distance be tween the towers, five hundred and thirty eight; height on the Nashville side, above low water, one hundred and nine; .height above the water, in the last great rise, sixty two. The Nashville Banner save ihat. ii ' t it swings at its immense height, suspended by sixteen large cables, it looks like some thing which might have been created by the a 1 .... . magical influence oi Aladdin' lamp, rather than by human agency. , It has already been partially tried with wagon heavily feiiea with stone, and would, we doubt not. fcent continuous line of them from one bank to the other." j . .

GENERAL Z A CHARY TAYLOR, President of the United States died of Bil ious cholera, at the White House, at 35 minutes past 10 oclock, P. M. of Tuesday. The hero who rode in triumph , over the bloody fields of Palo Alto ami Resaca de la Palma, who breasted the iron hail before the walls of Monterey, and marched un touched through the terrible carnage at Buena Yista, has surrendered to the com mon enemy of mankind. As a human be ing he is indeed no more; but the fame that he has shed upon the American arms, the sterling integrity of his official course and the purity and uprightness of his do mestic life, will encircle his name with a halo of glory forever. He still lives in the memory of his virtue and patriotism. He ever will live in the bright example he has shown of true honesty and goodness. The laurels with which a grateful nation crowned him shall shadow his tomb with eternal verdure. Like Washington's, his name will be revered while American blood flows in" the veins of posterity. The President Went out to hear the ora tion at the Monument on the 4th, and was much exhausted by the oppressive heat of the day. At dinner he ate some : vegeta bles, 'which brought a severe attack of chol era morbus. The disease was checked on Saturday, but the fever which supervened was too much for his enfeebled frame. . He possessed a full consciousness of his ap proaching end and displayed the same readi ness to meet death in this form as he had evinced upon every battle field. His last words to his family and the cabinet, who stood around his bedside, are characteristic of his life : " die. I am expecting the summons. I am ready to meet death. I have endeavor' ed faithfully to discharge my duty. I am sorry to leave my friends." The body lay in state at the White House until Friday, when the funeral took place. PRESIDENT FILLMORE Took the oath of office, administered by Justice Cranch, of the U. S. Supreme Court, jn the Hall of the House of Representatives, in the presence of both Houses and the heads of departments, on Wednesday. On the same day the Cabinet tendered their resignations to the new President. EPISCOPAL VISITATION. The Right Rev.

A fire broke out at the store, of Gordon & Berger, No. 139 Water street, about 4o' clock, on Tuesday afternoon. The streets in that part of the city are very narrow, and at a time when thp wharf was crowd ed to the tltmost of its capacity, a terrific explosion occurred,' supposed to have been caused by saltpetre stored in a ware house, blowing the building to atoms and scatter ing missiles of death in every direction. A number of persons were blown into the river by the explosion and others leapt in through terror. From this the fire extend ed to Vine street along Front and through to Second, and thence along to Callowhill. Before the progress of the flames were ar rested upwards of 350 buildings had been consumed. The destruction of property is immense greater than was ever before sustained by Philadelphia. Thirty dead bodies have been duj from the ruins. Many more it is feared will be found. A great number have bern wounded. The black portion of the above cut rep resents the burnt district. The dark parel- ellogram marked with a star, is the Mount Vernon House, in Second street, above Arch. CELEBRATION AT SI1AMOKIX. The citizens of this place celebrated the 4th in a becoming manner. At 10 o'clock the citizens and different Sunday Schools formed in procession under the direction of D. N. Lake, chk-f marshal!, and, headed by the Shamokin Greys, marched through the town to Morgan's Grove, a beautifully picturesque spot, where they sat down to a handsome dinner prepared lor the occasion. After the cloth was removed the chil dren went to their sports in the green wood, while their seniors organized by the appointment of KIMBER CLEAVER, Esq., President ; S. S. Bird, Esq., Paul Ammek- man, Esq., Vice Presidents, and Dr. Chas. S. Weiser, Secretary. The President made a very neat and appropriate address, after which the Declaration of Independence was read. A number of patriotic toasts were drank, which we regret want of room compels us to omit. Shamokin is looking up. The town was a year ago almost deserted. Mow every house is occupied and a number of new buildings are in the course of erection to supply the increasing demand for dwell ings, the streets present, a bustling and business like appearance and everything seems to auger its permanent prosperity. A number of new coal openings have been made, and several lateral railroads are be ing completed. ; FINE PAINTINGS. We have- several times had the pleasure of examining a number of beautiful paint ings in oil colors, of still life, at the studio of Mr. J. F. Francis, who has for some weeks been in this place. f They consist of baskets of peaches, apples,' grapes, nun, strawberries and cream, etc. The "lunch" representing a bottle and glasses of spark ling champaigne, rich Did cheese, &c, has a fine effect. .The wine sparkles in the glasses and cheese seems ready to crumble to pieces from its own richness. One cau not look at it five minutes without feeling his appetite sensibly sharpened. Then the strawberries and cream tantalize one ex ceedingly at he gazes on their tempting sweetness. Mr. Francis has displayed the true artist in the design and execution of these paint ings. The arrangement ia natural, the drawing perfect and the lights and shadows thrown in so as to give (he most striking effect. His portraits exhibit the same truthfulness to nature, both in drawing and coloring, which makes therh hot only a correct likenesses but also beautiful pic tures. 0" A well executed and dangerous counterfeit of tbe ten dollar notes of the Bank of Northumberland is in circulation. The plate it to well engraved that it is al most impossible to distinguish it from the genuine. , ihn paper it rather flimsy and the back ground of the vignette it darker and not to plainly marked as the genuine. The signatures and date are written with ink which flowed too freely and ran on the i ' 1,1 ' Nsw TaiAL Gbanted. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania have ordered a new trial in the ease of J.

Peareon, which sailed from Chagres oh the 30th ult reached hereabout 9 o'clock lant evening. She left Kingstou, Jam., July 1 The Philadelphia made Heir passage 'out in nine days and 22 hours, running time. She brings 82,000,000 in gold dust freight, 'and about $500,000 in the hands of, passengers. The steamship Georgia, with the mails for Havana and New York, sailed 24 hour pre vious. Tho steamship Alnbamn, for New Orleans, left two days before tho P.'s depar ture, with 125 passengersand about $500,000 in gold dust. TUG MINGS AND THE .MINER. The Aha California has letters from Stock ton to May 22d. On the Tolumne, but little gold digging hns been effected since last fall along the banks. The gold is under water, and preparations were makingby companies to dam tbe streams to get at it. This work has been actively going on for five or six tnonlhs. There is wantof men at thiskind of work, and $8 or10a day is readily obtained. The diggings at Jamestown, Sonora, &c, have been partially deserted on account of new diggings discovered at Columbia, three miles from Sonora ; at the last accounts, some 2000 persons had collected there, and town lots were selling at high prices. Snnora is growing very rapidly, being in the centre of an extensive mining region, h is likely ' to be next to Stockton in size and importance. Discoveries of rich placers have been made in its vicinity ; some of the richest holes at Columbia are 30, 40 and 50 feet deep. A letter from tho forks of the North Yuba after stating the wanderings of the writer in search of good locations, closes with this paragraph : "You may possibly hear great stories of the enormous quantities of gold that are taken out in this vicinity, but the truth will doubt less be greatly exaggerated. A few Indivi duals, it is true, have been very lucky, and have taken out from $500 to $1000 a day, in spots; but these rich places aie very scarce, and are soon worked out. And it is only at random intervals that gold is found at all in the banks up here." FIGHT WITH THE SACRAMENTO INDIANS TREATY. In consequence of depredations of the In dians of the Sacramento Valley and outrages committed by them, Gen. Thomas J. Green, 1st Division State Militia, ordered out two companies of Mounted Volunteers, under command of Captain Allgiers and Capt. Chas. Hoyt, and marched from Oro on the 17th May, in the direction of Deer Creek. On the same day, Lieut. Bell, of Capt. A.'s com pany, wilh ten men, encountered a large number of Indians, killed five, and took six prisoners. On the 18th, the command scoured the country in the region of Der Creek and Benr Rivnr. On the 19th, the trail toColonel Holt's mill, where he was murdered, was taken; the villages found to bo deserted, and the while settlement abandoned. On the 20lh the Indians, two or ihree hun dred stronr, were discovered within two miles of Bear River upon an elevated conical hill. An engagement look place in which 11 In dians were killed, and a number wounded. About fifty of ihe Siata volunteers were en gaged. None were killed, but Capt. Hoyt, Lieut. Lewis and Mr. Russell were wounded. Maj. Frederick F.inory (brother of Jlaj. E na ry, U. S. Top. Engineer, of the Boundary Commission,) was accidentally shot through the thigh with a ritle ball. He was Aid-de-Camp to Gen. T. J. Green. On the 25ih, the Indian Chiefs Weimai Buckler and Pooliel came in by permission, and entered into a treaty of peace between the three tribes, severally represented, and the State ofCalifornia and Government of the United States. Alia California. THE MONUMENTAL BLOCK OF QUARTZ. Our renders, we have reason to believe, are not generally apprised of the interesting fact that a block of California gold-bearing quarts, has been procured at the expense of the State, io be contributed in the erection of the proposed monument to the memory of Wash ington, at the seat of our General Govern ment. The block of gold-bearing quails is from the Mariposa diggings, near Fremont's mines, and weighs about 125 pounds. In shape it is irregular, app'oching a square; its sides varying from 18 to 20 inches In iengthj It averages in thickness nine inches across Its surface, diagonally, It is 21 inches, by measurement. Very little gold is percepti ble to the naked eye, but it is estimated to contain $80 woith. Gov. Burnett has in vested our estimable fellpw-citizens, Hon. John Bid well and Judge H. A. Schoolcraft with authority to attend personally to the transmission of this block of quartz to the States, and they leave in Ihe Oregon, this day, lo place this offering of California wealth and patriotism by the sides of those from her sister States Alta California. Tremendous Fire at Brooklyn. About io clock, on Sunday, the turpentine and rosin factory of Mr. Thorn, between Ful ton street and South Ferry, was discovered to be on fire, and soon after several explo sions in succession followed. The bell gave a quick alarm, which was answered by a number of New York fire companies, who did effective service, and who are still directing their energies to suppress the flames. The building was also used as . store house, and there were large quantities of saltpetre, sugar, inc., in the premises, a greater portion of which' are destroyed. Several smaller buildings adjoining are also in ruins. The loss is variously estimated from $300,000 to $500,000. It isstated that some lives were lost, out I cannot ascertain the facf.
