From 'Washington. The Homestead Bilh Correspondence of the Ni Y. Tribune', Washington, Feb. 1, 1859, No doubt, ere this The Tribune has publish ed and criticised the rote in the -House to-day on the Homestead' bill." A few facts and sug gestions may be valueless,-though they be repetitions.’* c ’ v ' - - - A bill like that which has just passed, was introduced by Mr. Grow in the last Congress, but was not definitively acted upon. The pre sent bill was introduced-by him early last Sess ion, and referred to the Committee on Agricul ture. Owing to the time absorbed by Leoomp ton, nothing was done in regard to it, Mr. Kelsey, from the Committee on Agriculture, now reported the bill back to the House, and it was referred to the Committee of the Whole.— To-day the vote by which it was so referred was reconsidered. This brought it directly before the House. Grow and its active friends decided that they‘would put it upon its passage. On his demanding the previous question on its third reading, a tumult arose, and a variety of riTort were' made to coax, and wheedle and drive Grow to yield the floor,'so as to get in amendments and dilatory motions. But he kept a steady hand upon the tiller, determined that the measure should ride out the storm in safety if possible. Before the demand for the previous question was seconded, Hughes (who is always on the wing in foul weather,) moved to lay the bill on the table. The Yeas and Nays silenced his croaking, by the significant vote of 77 to 113, It now being evident that a large majority of the House was favorable to the measure, the attempt to swamp it by imprac ticable amendments, and side-motions, was re mewed, Keitt, and Maynard of Tennessee, try ing their skill at this line of attack. But, Grow held on firmly ; the demand for the pre v ions question was seconded ; the main ques tion ordered, and the hill read a third time.— Grow now demanded the previous question on its final passage. Ere it was seconded, Hum phrey Marshall endeavored to overwhelm it with questions of order. But, the Speaker rulpd against him—“a sufficient number up, and “there is a second"—“the Veils . have it, and the “main question is ordered; “and now, | “Shall the “bill pass?” Barksdale demanded i lira Yeas’and Nays; and this benign measure, laden with blessings to the industrious poor, j safely, triumphantly passed the ordeal ; Yeas 120, Nays 7G. The victory was made sure by the stereotyped formula of moving to reconsid er, and lay on the table. Nothing remained but the adoption of the title of the bill, on which Grow calfed the previous question.— Wright, of Georgia (the slaveholder died hard 1), proposed to fillibuster about the j title. It was too late. The title, under the operation of the previous question, was adopted, and the good day’s work was done 1 This vitally Democratic measure received the votes of 82 Republicans, S Auti-Lecompton Democrats, and 30 Lccompton Democrats.—lt encountered the Nays of 1 Republican (thank heaven, only one ’). 2 Anti-Lecompton Demo crats, GO Lccompton Democrats, and IS South Americans. The single Republican who voted agalust it was Matthias 11. Nichols of Ohio. The two ( hostile Ami-Lecompton Democrats wore Sam- i uel S. Marshall and Aaron Shaw, both of lUI- ■ nols. Neither of these three gentleman is re-' turned to tho=nest House. The sixty Lecomp tun Democrats are composed of fifty-sis slave-: holders and four doughfaces, to wit: KugUsh, Hughes and Niblack or Indiana, and Leidy of Dcnnsyh ania. The slaveholders voted against it because they despise free labor, and the doughfaces, because they lore to servo slave holders, The South Americans voted against the bid because it allowed aliens, who had only declared their intention to become citizens, to paitioipate in its benefits.

This bill was not acted upon in the Senate. In 1854, the House again passed a Homestead bill. The votes in its favor came from both sides of Mason and Dixon’s line; but the Northern preponderance was consider ably greater than two years before. This bill was rejected by the Senate. Since then five years have passed. And five such years *. The Missouri Compromise repeal, the Kansas con spiracies, the sublime \ote of the Free States in 1850, and the Lecompton struggle, h.-nc 1 dearly defined the conflict between Free La bor and Slave Labor. Here, then, is a measure eminently “demo cratic”—a measure specially and almost ex clusively beneficial to that class of men of which the Democratic party claims to be large ly composed—the laboring poor—and yet, that section of the Union whence the party draws its chief strength, which went almost in a sdid body for Buchanan, and on which it relies fur future success, votes in unbroken column against it. And, why ? Because, the Southern “Dem ocracy/ 1 so called, is hostile to the hard hand and sweating brows of Free Labor. It sneers at free laborers, free lands, schools, free speech, free presses and free men. It is an aris tocracy, and despises the poor man’s “quarter section/’ It is an olig.nrcl}3*, and points deris ively at the “homestead,” the humble cabin of the backwoodsman. And yet. eighteen months hence, the sixty “Democrats,” who’to-day hissed their contemptuous nays at a measure for the relief of fhe-industrious poor, with their aiders and abettors, North and South, coax and cozen these same'poor to'bcstow their votes upon “the regular Democratic” candidate for the Presi dency.

HUGH YOUNG, Editor & Proprietor. WELLSBOROUGH, PA. Thursday morning, Feb. 10, ISS9. All Business and other Communications must be to the Editor to receive attention. S- M.

They are authorized to con* tract for us at our lowest rates. THE ''CN&mDSD.” The Washington Slates, the acknowledged organ of Douglas and his followers, startled the ‘undivided Democracy' a few evenings since, by asking the vsry pertinent question, “Have we a Democratic party among us V* When we re flect with what blind devotion the members of that party worship at the footstool of. Slavery ; when wo reflect how necessary the complete" unity of that organization is to the perpetuation and spread of the institution, we are surprised at the temerity of this editor (Pryor of Virgin ia) in discussing a question which will tend to distract still more the already forlorn and dis tracted Democracy. In summing up the differences, he finds that in the great issues now before the country there is not oven an approach to unanimity, James Buchanan disagrees with Cass on the doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty, and of course this is a symbol of difference among the Democracy of the country. Indeed the Washington Union , Buchanan's organ copies and approves an arti cle from the Richmond Enquirer which scouts this popular sovereignty doctrine as a political abstraction, and urges the South to demand Congressional legislation for the protection of slavery in the territories. On the question of a Pacific Railroad, the States finds the President differing with the Secretary of War. Again he is found differing with members of his cabinet on the question of Internal Improvements; and with the Secretary of the Treasury on that important question, the Tariff. All these divisions and many others not mentioned, are but indicative of similar di visions among the masses of the Democracy.—• j No wonder then that a leading editor of that ' ° i party should ask the question, “Have wo a Democratic Party among usand we think no one will be surprised that in view of all this, the Stales should be “obliged to announce the “deliberate conclusion that there is now no “ Democratic party in existence.” Batin this conclusion we humbly beg leave to differ with the Stales. There is yet a Demo-1 cratic party, and it. is still strong enough to ac- . coinplish its work—the only work to which it has devoted itself for the last ten years—-name ly, the extension of slavery. There is no divis ion in the party, so far as we know, on the grand schemes of annexation and mational plunder proposed by the President in his message, sim ply because the result of the measures proposed would be to benefit Slavery. Neither is there any division in the devotion of the entire party north and soutli to the sentiment embodied in the Dred Scott'decision which nationalizes Sla very and makes Freedom sectional. Nor have we heard a murmur against the sham Democrat ic sentiment of Buchanan, that slavery, under i the constitution exists as firmly in Kansas as in i Georgia or South Carolina. Two weeks ago the Democracy in Congress was found voting almost without division against a beneficent measure intended to protect the in dustrious settler against the rapacious specula- and vve predict that should any measure come before Congress affecting in any degree the laboring classes as against the aristocracy— whether the aristocracy be based on money, lands or “niggers’—the Democratic members will be found arrayed with but little division of sentiment against the former. In another column will be found an account of the passage by the House last Thursday, of Mr. Grow’s Homestead Bill, with an analysis of the vote on the same. If the vote in the Senate on that Bill docs not make good the above prediction, we will be much surprised. The New Eldorado. A friend writes to us desiring information in regard to the newly discovered gold mines in Kansas. As a matter of information and in terest to our readers, we have taken pains to collate from the correspondence of the daily pa per;?, from files of the Kansas Herald oj' Free* dom, and other sources, a brief history of the mines, and the success of those who have been there. In IS3G a French trapper na&ed Carrier, was lost from his party and waildered about through the country at the base of jPike's Peak. He found specimens of gold which he took to New Mexico. A party was formed there and came back with him, bathe was unable to find the same streams, whereupon the Mexicans tied him up and whipped him severely, suppos ing that he did not wish to disclose the location of the gold. The existence of gold in that region was again discovered by a party of emigrants on their way to California in 1851. A proposal was made to stop, but as some of the emigrants had their-families along with them, and as there Was nothing to afford the means of shelter and subsistence, the party went on to California.— On arriving, they reported their discovery and wtote to their friends in Arkansas. The late troubles in Kansas not only prevented further search during their occurrence, but at their close hundreds of desperadoes were left with nothing to do but to look up some other field of operation. The infamous Col. Titus who had amused himself by burning houses, stealing horses and plotting assassinations and forays, went first to Nicaragua; thence back to Kan sas where he found it had grown remarkably hot in his absence, so hot that he finally went with a.few- loafing ruffiaos-r-the. dregs .of Bu ford’s cup of glory—to Arizona, **Spme went to California, others to Mormondom. A party ! Dorn Arkansas remembering the story of the THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR. emigrants of 1851, went ;to Pike’s Peak to ex plore for gold and were successful. Such is the history of the discovery—a dis covery which must inevitably give all thaf ter ritory—one, two, and perhaps three States—to Free:Soil and Free tabor. Pike’s Peakes the abrupt colossal’telminik, tion of .the mountain' promontory which, trading eastward from the Cordillera for nearly one hundred miles sunders from one another the sources of the south Platte and the Arkan sas rivers. The altitude of' the Peak is 14,- 500 feet above the level of the sea. Cherry Creek is a branch of the South'Platfe, and it is in the .Cherry Creek Valley where most of the gold is found. Pike’s Peak is - in' latitude 30° the same latitude as St. Louis and San Francis co, and the distance from each of these cities is miles. In the Cherry Creek valley are immense forests of yellow and white pine, also cherry and cottonwood. Game is exceed ingly abundant—black-tailed deer, red deer, elk, antelope, mountain sheep, black bear <tc., being found in all portions of the country; and so plenty is it that the meat has no value, as will be seen from an extract from a letter below: Mr. Wynkoop —a brother of the late Col. Wynkoop of Poltsville—states in the Atchison (K. T.) Champion, that he left the mines Dec. ilth and returned by the South Platte route.— Ho says the average yield of gold dust to the panful is ten cents. He has returned to ask the Legislature now at Lawrence for a charter for a company, of which he is a member, to construct a canal from one of the mountain streams through the “dry diggings” for the pur pose of supplying the miners with water. The canal will cost one million of dollars, but be says the dirt taken from it will pay for the work. John Scuddeb writes to the St. Louis Repub lican from a new city named Auraria, under date of Nov. 24th. The city is laid out at the mouth of Cherry Greet, a branch of the South' Platte, and already contains 150 cabins and COO inhabitants. It is 30 miles from Pit e’s Peat which is in sight. There are about 1200 miners in the Cherry Creek valley. Average yield per day S 4; highest amount made-jmtine day $lO. At the date of his letter flour was being sold at $lO per 50 lb sack; bacon 25 cts per lb; whiskey §1 per pint; and venison and bear meat was given away. Dr. Kavanagh writes to Santa Fe (N. M.) Gazelle , that he has been seventy-five miles up the valley of South Platte and found gold all the way. The best result found was four dol lars to the pan. The region abounds in the best grazing and the climate is healthy. The Topeka Tribum states that a Mr. Ed wards had returned for a shingle machine and the running gears for a saw mill, and that Mr. Garvey was about to start with a printing press. A Mr. Storm had killed fifteen deer in a Jay and wrote to a friend to bring a stock of gro ceries. Another town of fifty log bouses has been named Denver City. These extracts will serve to show the true state of affairs in the new El Dorado. All ac counts agree in representing the region as a land of gold, and there can be little doubt that that country contains immense treasures. "We do not propose to comment upon the po litical or commercial changes and interests which these facts suggest, though we may do so at soDJe future time. We have simply given in a condensed form the gist of a vast amount of correspondence with the authority. We would say to young men who have good and permanent employment, not to go off on a wild goose chase after a fortune, as it might possibly be found easier at home. To those who jjiave do employment or who do not care to find any; to those who spend their time in loafing in' bar rooms and groceries; and to those who have poor prospects before them, we say go—go by all means, for while you have everything to gain you cannot possibly lose anything- , When you get there, be industrious, voy’s paper, and if the gold should fail, in the mines, you can find it in the harvest fields in Autumn by using a hoe in the Spring. To Advertising Agents. We have received from an advertising agency in New York, an advertisement consisting of the first chapters of a new sensation «tory by Ned Bunthne, now being published in a flash paper of that city, called the Ifew York Mer cury. The advertisement would fill about four columns of the Agitator for which we are offered about sixteen dollars. We have also received from another agent in New York, the first chapters of a new story by Mrs. Southworth, now being published in the Ledger. We are offered for this advertisement about thirty one dollars, as it covers over five columns of our paper. If these were asked to be published in our advertising columns simply as .advertise ments, we would, try and make room for them and take the forty seven dollars; but we are asked to present them on our first page as of our own selection, without note or comment editorially. We beg leave to say to the agen cies aforesaid and to all others interested: I. We publish the Agitator at the reasona ble price of O.ne Dollar a year in advance, and as we stand on the debit side of the account with all our subscribers till their subscriptions expire, it would be an outrage upon them to beguile them into a dash yarn, and then refer them to the New York Mercury or any other flash paper for the balance. There may be some hungry publishers who send their paper to Tom, Dick, and Harry (and such publishers will always be hungry) who count it a! “streak of good luck” if Tom, Dick, and Hairy ever pay up for their paper. In such cases the pub-' Usher is nnd’er no obligations whatevetfto his readers, aid he hjts a right to publish^tfhate'Hjr he pleases. To this' class of publishers- wo would direct the attentionof advertising-agents. Send them your flash stories and your money j they will be glad of-the latter, and subscribers who do not pay the printer ought’ to ■'have nothing to read but such advertisements. 11. We do not propose to select, nor has our predecessor ever selected any of the Haunted tfen-House or the Skeleton-Hand-dripping-blood class of stories for our’readers. We believe fhat the influence of such stories upon the young is positively pernicious. They teach, false ideasof-life and its objects to the mind, and awaken and enlist the .worst passions of the- Heaft. They appeal to the marvellous, and de pict, the unreal and the improbable; and-what is the worst feature of this doss of stories, they ■ reach their culmination and conclusion in the gratification- of, the. revenge—or some' worse passion of their hero. These remarks are in tended to apply to the Mercury only—the Ledger stories being of a higher standard of ability and morals—but. yre cannot publish the Ledger’s advertisement for the reasons first stated. The selections for . the Agitator shall he made, as heretofore, with a view to the good of our sub scribers, will be illustrative of the triumph of morality, industry, and sobriety, over idleness apathy and selfishness. As our subscribers are, for the most part, those who earn their living by honest toil, we shall select matter which will blend instruction with amusement, exhibit the actual condition of’the people—their diffi culties, wants . and aspirations—and we shall aim to show their sons and daughters, that life land its real enjoyment do not- depend on their success as “pirates of the gulf,” or “female highwaymen,” 111. We would not pollute our reading col umns with a story or even part of a story writ ten by Xed Bcstlike as our selection, for one hundred dollars. We have not read the in stalment before us, but if his literature is as corrupt and disgusting as the politi cs he ven tilated in this and the adjoining district in 1856, no money could purchase his way into our paper. We believe the good people of Tioga will sustain us, Justin proportion as we deserve their confidence; but whether they do or not we shall never lessen it by getting down to such a debasement os this. Characteristic— At a meeting of the New fork Tammany Hail Democrats, lost week, « series of resolutions was adopted, in one of which .they express themselves in favor of bringing Cuba into the Union for the sake of “enlarging the area of freedom.” Bringing in a slave territory out of which two more slave States may, at convenience, he carved, and adding at least seven hundred thousand to the present slave population of the Union, is cer tainly an original process of enlarging the area of freedom! Nobody out of Tammany Hall could ever have eliminated so brilliant an idea, and the authors of it are entitled to a patent, or a copyright for it. —Binghamton Standard. We are surprised that the Standard has not yet learned the Sham Democratic idea of Free dom. In 1850, the Editor of a Democratic paper in Potter County, got out a handbill, headed “Buchanan, Breckenridge and Free Kansas,” announcing Senator Bigler to speak at a Mass Meeting of the “unwashed” at Ctra dersport. By some means one of the hand bills got to the United States Senate, and Big ler was taken to task for it by las Southern masters. Bigler “denied the soft impeachment” of harboring the idea of Freedom in any shape. Time was given for an explanation ; the Demo cratic author of the handbill was written to ; Bigler and the Union were in danger. The answer reached Washington, and Bigler and the Union were saved by the explanation, that “Free Kansas” on the handbill, meant that the people of Kansas were free to adopt Slai-ery if they chose! Eight Between Eleven Hundred Horses. —Sonthy, in his History of the Peninsular War, relates the following ; “Two of the Span ish regiments which had been quartered in Punan were cavalry, mounted on fine black long-tailed Andalnsian horses. It was . impos sible to bring off these horses—about 1100 in number—and Romano was not a man who could order them to be destroyed : he was fond of horses himself, and knew- that every man was attached to his beast, which had carried him so far and so faithfully. Their bridles were therefore taken off*, and they were turned loose upon the beach. - A scene ensued such as was never before witnessed, They became sen sible that they were no longer under the res traint of any human power. A general conflict ensued, in which, retain ing the discipline they had learned, they charged each other in squdrons of ten or twelve together, then closely engaged, striking with their fore feet, and biting and tearing each other with most ferocious rago, and tram pling over those who were beaten down, till the shore in the course of an hourwas strewn with the dead and disabled. Part of them hud been set free on rising ground at a distance. They no sooner heard the roar of the battle, they then came thundering down over the interme diate hedges, and catching the contagious mad ness; plunged into the fight with equal fury.— Sublime as the scene was, it was too horrible to be long contemplated, and Romano, in mercy, gave orders to destroy them. But it was found too dangerous to attempt this, and after the last boat had quitted the beach, the few horses that remained, were still engaged in the dread ful work of mutual destruction. On Thursday morning last, the Northern Central Railroad train, was thrown from the track, about two and a half miles above the Muncy Station, by a broken rail, and a number of the passengers were more or less bruised and scratched. Judge Lyman, of Potter county, was brought to this place soon after the acci dent, and is still lying at the Union Hotel, un able to travel, though he is improving. His in juries are about the head and shoulders.— Muncy Luminary. A Slave named “Thomas Jefferson,” is ad vertised in the Richmond (Va.) papers, as a runaway. . He is 21 years old, and is described as of- “rather a : grum countenance." So we should think! Anybody with such a name oughtto look grum until he cleared out. to freedom. Poor Mexico now has five Presidents, or at least five men backed by military power, each of whom thinks he alone can rescue her from the gulf of ruin to which she is hastening. Col.

J Ms. You.yo: The Musical Festival duly ad vertised in the Agitator , commenced in the Baptist Church in this place at 10 o’clock A. M., Thursday, the 27th inst. The exercises were commenced by an appropriate hymn, after which, prayer was offered up by the Rev. M. Rockwell. ' The day was spent in singing and in making acquaintances and passfjd off very pleasantly. The evening exercises were very entertaining and the friends seemed to enjoy themselves well. I Friday, the exercises opened with] increased interest, and the members of the Festival seemed to vie with each other in bringing forth their best pieces of music and in making jeach other happy. In the evening, the exercises were, if possible more entertaining, and as the interest increased in the Festival as the tr creased in numbers. Saturday, the day opened -with the same spirit of song, and the members,—judging from their countenances beaming with tpe pleasures of the soul—were in its full enjoyment. At 2 o’clock P.

Woodbury of New York, and!at the close of his remarks he introduced a song composed on the death of this great “benefactor of the musical world, by Eev. A. A.

He retired amid the cheers of warm friends.

There most be twenty-five members whose age is not jet thirty! and but few whose lives have passed the meridian; and as might be expected, there is some l“warm blood” that “fires” quickly and with |‘hot baste" and cools hut with eihaoj. tion. | ‘Tis said that “age and wisdom” make “dignity.” That may be so—or was in days long past—but now, age and dignity make Uj appearance of wisdom. The Speaker of the House, Wm C. A. Lav. rence, is without doubt the youngest man that has ever presided over the Pennsylvania Leg. islature ; yet young as he is and as much dis satisfaction as was felt by a large number of the members, yet with a little care on his part he Will mate a popular presiding officer. Ho has one of the necessary requisites of a good. Speaker, developed in an extraordinary degree, thatj of promptness. He never hesitates, and althpugh I believe him sometimes wrong— which, can be remedied by the House—yet it is better to decide promptly and wrong, than to hesitate. Hesitancy in an officer who is presi ding over a large body of men, is a failing that will lead to confusion, at least. dlenoe in- ;e in concert stival all per ils ; many of c omplishment .stations.
