Between Mdsars Branch and Grow, The Hon. L. O’B. Branch has given to the public the correspondence between himself and the Hon. Galusba A. Grow, growing out of the Into debate between them in the House of Rep resentatives. In so doing, he prefaces the cor respondence with a report of the colloquy be tween them in which occurred the remarks of Mr. Grow to which he took exceptions ; but be prudently omits that portion of the prior debate in which he impugned Mr. Grow’s motives for opposing the Post-office appropriation at the list session, in reply to which Mr. Grow made the remarks by which he feels aggrieved. Mr. Branch says: Immediately after the occurrence, I addressed to Mr. Grow, and handed to my friend Mr. Winslow, a note of which the following is a copy; HR. BRANCH TO StE.' CROW. Wasbikgtok Citv, Dec. 29, 1859. Sir : Will you please name a time and place, outside the District of Columbia, in which you wili receive from me a communication in wri ting ? Ij. O’B. BRAi'ca. To the Hon. Galusha A. Grow. On the copy of this note retained, is an in dorsement by Sir. Winslow in these words : ‘•The note of which this is a copy was handed to me by Mr. Branch, after the colloquy be tween him and Mr. Grow. No opportunity oc curred of delivering it without attracting undue attention, until I met Mr. Grow at the Capitol on Triday. Warren Winslow.” During the evening I received from Mr. Grow, through lion. It. E. Ecnton of New-York, a reply, of which the following is a copy: Washington Gitv, Dec. 30, ISod. Sir : Your note of 28th just., was placed in my hands by your friend. Gov, Winslow, at 12 o’clock to-day. I know of nothing that makes it necessary for me to name a time and place, outside the District of Columbia, to receive from you a communication in writing. Your note was, doubtless—as paining else had oc curred between us—based upon remarks made by me in debate in the House of Representa tives, iu reply to your speech impugning tny motives and the integrity of my acts as a legis l\tor. On that occasion I used no language in viol tfion of Parliamentary law, and none not warranted by your, remarks thus impugning my conduct. If your note is to be considered of a hostile character, then I have this to reply: Regarding duelling as at variance with the pre cepts of the tViristiau religion and the senti ments of a Christian people, and it being pro hibited and declared a crime by the laws en acted by the body of which we are members, I’ cannot recognize it as a justifiable mode of settling difficulties among men, even in cases of unwarranted provocation. But my personal rights, and the freedom of debate guaranteed by the Constitution, I shall defend when they are assailed. Respectfully yodrs. To the lion. L. O’B. Branch. By those who are acquainted with the penal code of this District, to whom my attention is drawn by Mr, Grow in his letter, it will he readily understood that no other course is left me than to publish this narrative, and leave the whole matter to the impartial judgment of honorable men of all sections of the country. L. O’B. Branch. Ac American Member of Congress and bis Daughter. A Mississippi gentleman came to this State Oo‘ s &BHs(|uto-®§'’ls "Louis, Among the tivo or three dozen slaves he bought was a little girl about nine years of age, whose complexion was as fair as the average of white children. .Site attracted some attention, and the jjurchaser related her history. She was a child of a handsome mulatto woman, and her father was the lion. Mr. , Member of Congress from this State. Her mother was not the slave of Mr. , but owned by a neighbor, for I be lieve it is the custom among the patriarche to exchange civilities of this kind. A strange co incidence happened in bringing her to this city. She came with others down the river in a steam boat with her master, and among the passen gers was her father. He conversed with her owner about her, and said he would have bought her himself, were it not for his wife. I had this information from tbo owner of the girl. The girl was kept in a slave pen on Sixth street, and was visited by numbers who had learned her history. The purchaser was a very respect able gentleman, who bought her for a nurse in his family. Hut who cannot guess herdestiny ? Here was a child of tender years, apparently white, herding with a lot of common negroes, torn from her mother, and doomed to a Mis sissippi plantation, while her father in the au gust Senate of the United States, declaims of liberty. He stands eoolyby while bis own lin eaments, is taken forcibly from her mother and driven oft’ with a gang of slaves to a distant land, among strangers, never again to know a mother’s love or caress, but to be thenceforth the victim of a tyrant’s lash or lusts. She is the innocent profert and proof of his faithful ness to solemn vows, and must be removed to a safe distance. —Letter Jrom St. Louis.

His reply was ihat he was not a negro stealer, and would not leave until he got ready; and gave the gentlemen notice that they would find it dangerous work to lay a violent hand upon him. Finding him a man not to be frightened, they got a warsnl for him and put him in jail. He employed H on/J, F. 8011, counsel.

WEIiLSBOROUGH, PA. > Thursday Jlornln;, Jan. 13,1860. S. 31. PKimiu 4 Co., LIS -V£J.'wV. S(„ J.gwTotk, »nii 10 Statist., htv , toh,are the Ageijt-R for the Affita(dr t and the west Sufluontial aod largest circulating Newspaper* Jn the Cuifcd States 'Hid the Canadas, They are authorized to con tract for ns at our lowest rates. ITo publish elsewhere in our columns the correspondence which passed' between Mr. Branch, of North Carolina, and Mr. Grow.— ITe are glad to be able to congratulate our read ers that they ate represented in the National Legislature by one capable of rising above the barbarous bull-dogism of the duello, and who has exhibited the moral courage to ignore its practice in adjusting real or supposed injuries arising out of social or legislative intercourse among gentlemen. Duelling is a barberous relic of a barberous age,—a practice which the enlightened world contemns—a practice where in the skill of the coward may triumph over the courage of the bravest man—and every en lightened country in the world unites in pro nounciijg it a practice only of bullies and brag garts who please to call themselves gentlemen. Suppose Mr. Grow had accepted the challenge of'fbis Southern buiiy and had killed him, could we have honored him for the act 7 Not at all. His warmest and best friends in the North would have had to regard him as in one sense » murderer. Suppose Mr. Grow bad been victimized as was Broderick, could his friends have said truthfully that he died in defense of his honor or integrity as a man or as a legisla tor ? Self-defence is a law of nature, and if our worthy Representative should be compelled in the preservation of his rights to become a fool-killer to the extent of a dozen or more of that kind of game, wo shall honor him for it. But we do not think it will be necessary, for wo believe the “honor” which seeks to assert its dignity through the pistol-barrel, is, nowa days, sufficiently satisfied with a column or more of newspaper correspondence. ITe ate not at all surprised that Mr. Branch , and the whole Democratic party with him should impugn the motives of Mr. Grow in regard to his action on the Post Office Bill at the close of the last Congress, and we are not surprised that that parly should attempt to saddle upon him the responsibility of its ultimate defeat.— In a reading community like ours, such misrep resentations could not affect Mr. Grow in any way; but in loss favored sections the opinion, no doubt, prevails, that our Representative in tended to defeat the appropriation, instead of the Senate amendment which was in itself uncon stitutional, and which was objectionable to the whole people of the North, because it was in tended to raise the rates of postage on letters from three to five and ten cents, and to double the postage on newspapers. The truth is that Mr. Grow deserves the thanks of all northern men of all parties for resisting and defeating this tyranical measure by which Mr. Senator Toombs and others sought to make the North r,ir.f n -i - •- —— —j'cnaco lor carry ing Southern mails. Should the house organ ize this Winter, we trust Mr. Grow will take occasion to show to the people of the country the fact that the proposed Senate amendment was an attempted aggression upon Northern people, as well as a violation of the prerogatives of the House and of the Constitution. Galcsua A. Grow Tbo reports of the Secretaries of the various Departments of Government are published.— Our columns are too much crowded for any ex tended abstracts. IVe may give these hereafter. For the present we publish the following: From the Report of the Secretary of the Treasury we learn that the revenues for the fiscal year, ending 30th of June, 1859, were $88,090,“87, and the expenditures $83,751,511, The receipts for the year 1860 are estimated at $75,384,541, and the expenditures at $61,- 001,732. From the Report of the Postmaster General we glean the following facts; —Tho actual ex penses of the Post-office service for the last year has been $11,458,083. The liabilities of the department arising from the failure of Con gress to make the usual appropriations are $4,- 296,006 additional. The gross ‘revenue is $7,- 968,484, or nearly seven millions more than the revenues, deducting $789,599 of special ap propriations. The revenue is derived from the following sources —Letter postage, $906,531; registered letters, $25,052; stamps, $6,158,- 145; newspapers, $589,352; receipts of letter carriers, 515T,037,30. The estimated expendi ture tor 1860 is $14,871,547, or, including pay ments authorized by Congress, $15.038,627. Receipts, $10,222,634. Deficiency, $4,816,092. The number of postage stamps sold was 192,- 201,020; envelopes, 30,280,300. The total amount transportation of mails was 82,308,402 miles. The Secretary of the Navy reports that the appropriations for that service, last year, were $14,608,364; expenditures, $14,059,267. The Secretary of IVar suggests that the en listment of the mounted corps, should be for six months, the men required to furnish their own horses. This, in a few years, would sup ply the frontiers with a very largo number of settlers, instructed and disciplined, with a per sonal knowledge of the country and the haunts of the savage. The cost of the army proper, for its entire support, is $13,008,725. The Legislature. —Both branches of the Legislature met Wednesday, Jao. 4tb, and or ganized at once. In the House Wm. C. A. Law rence, Esq., was elected Speaker, having pre viously received the unanimous nomination of the Opposition caucus. Mr. Lawbbitcb has been three times elected to the papular branch of the Legislature, and twice eleeeted to the re sponsible position of Speaker of that , body- For Chief Clerk of the House, E. A. Baccji, Mr. Grow. The Departmental Reports. THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOE. Esq., editor of the Mauch Chunk Gazette, the only candidate, before the Opposition caucus, was elected. Mr..was Assistant Clerk last winter, and discharged, the duties of the j office in a manner highly creditable to himself I and satisfactory to tbelnembcrs. In the Senate, Wm. M. Ebascjs, Esq., of the Venango District, was elected Speaker. Rus set Erbeit, Esq., of the Pittsburgh Gazette, was elected Chief Clerk. No Speaker has yet been elected—the ballots resulting ns usual. The Democrats still persist in the agitation of the slavery question. There is no doubt however of the ultimate triumph of Mr. Sherman. It is the determination of the Republicans to stand by the stand they have taken till the end, whenever it may be. The Governor's Message, The Annual Message of Gov, Packer, was presented to tho Legislature of our State on the 4th instant. It commences with congratu lating the representatives of the people upon the favorable condition of tho finances of the State. The receipts for the fiscal year ending ■3oth of November last, amount to $3,820,350 14, and tho expenditures to 53,879,054 81; in which expenditures are included loans, &c., paid to the amount of §B-10,282, 69. Tho Gov ernor says that during thirteen months the pub lic debt has been reduced in amount §1,009,- 282 60, besides meeting all demands upon tho Treasury. The pnblio debt on the Ist of December last was §38,638.901 07, but tho State holds railroad and canal bonds to the amount of §11,081,000, which, being deducted, leaves the State debt §27,397,901 07. The public debt is decreasing at the rate of nearly a million of dollars per annum, and this gratifying result is to he at tributed to tin? sale of the public works. Tho Snnbury and Erie Railroad is progress ing satisfactorily, and will most probably be completed within the current year. The history of tho controversy with the Penn sylvania Railroad Company, concerning the tonnage tax is recited, ami the opinion ex pressed that the Supreme Court will confirm tho decision of the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin county, in favor of the State. Th c Common Sohools of the State are said to he in an improving condition. The number of pupils in ail the schools is 634,651, and tbo whole expense of the system for tho year, §2,- 579,075 77. Tho number of pupils has in'- creased nearly one-serentli since ISoi. The Normal Schools are recommended to the at tention of the Legislature, and addition .1 ap propriations are suggested whenever the State finances will warrant them. The library of the State contains 22,000 vol umes,-and is the largest State Library in tlie Union, except that of the State of New York. The Governor takes the ground that our present Banking system is defective, and ex presses bis determination to refuse his approval of bills incorporating Banks, unless they be re quired to give security far the redemption of their notes. \ The present method of receiving, keeping and disbursing the public money is unsafe, and safeguards arc recommended. A number of public institutions are commended to tbe care of the Legislature. The editor of the Colonial Records has completed an index of tbe whole work. Class legislation is discouraged, and the practice of sending a Jarwp nnmlw>p /»f WIJs ,i »»v uro close of the session, is reproved. Twenty-three bills arc returned for reconsideration. The financial condition of the General Gov ernment shows the necessity for increased rev* enue, and the hope is expressed that duties will be laid with a view to the protection of Indus trial interests. The early admission of Kansas will remove from the National Legislature a cause of much irritation. The principle of Popular Sover eignty may be considered perpetually settled. The Message closes with a reference to the correspondence with. Gov. Wise concerning the affair at Harper's Ferry, and the expression of an earnest hope that harmony and friendly in tercourse between the States may prevail, and a recognition of the favor of the “Great Giver of all Good." The Message is a well written business docu ment, and contains much that will interest the people of our good old Commonwealth. Corwis’s Lsst.— We take the following from the Washington correspondence of the Phila delphia Korih American ; “Gov. Corwin, as everybody knows, is noted for his genial hamor-and ready repartee. One of bis good things has gained general currency to-day, and deserves repetition.. When break fasting at Brown's this morning, the conversa tion turned upon the nomination of Gen. Scott at the Union meeting in New York last night. In reply to a question how it would he received, a member from Alabama replied that the South would regard Scott's nomination as worse than Seward's. Corwin promptly replied, ‘I think so too, he's a fighting man.' It is needless to say that the member did not pursue the sub ject." A young man named Nicholson, living some fifteen miles south of Lafayette, la., was frozen to death last week in a fit of somnambulism. He had gone to bed in his usual health, hut was mi&sing io the morning, and it was found ho had taken one of his father’s horses with him. This was ou Sunday morning. Ho was traced as far as possible immediately, but the trail was at iastdost, and it was not till Monday morning that he was found sitting in the snow, still alive, but dying, with his horse quietly standing near him. He died that night. A Bold Max,—Cassius M, Clay announces through the Louisville Journal, that on the 10th of January he will, in the town of Frankfort, Ky., vindicate the principles and aims of tho Republican party against the assaults of Vice President Breckcnridge and Govenor Magoffin, and asks all the papers in favor of justice and fair play to copy his card. Clay is a gallant Kentuckian and fears nothing on earth. He has long, boldly and nobly fought for freedom, and even at the present time of excitement is willing to heard the lion in 'his den. John B. Gough is working ponders for the temperance cause in audien ces flock to hear him everywhere, and in Bel fast alone, the whiskey metropolis of the North, two thousand persons have signed the total ab stinence pledge. The daughter d? a late distinguished phys ician' of Philadelphia has gone into a convent, taken the veil, and given to the institution her whule property, amounting' to $OO,OpU. Synopsi* of the President’s Message, “The opening of tho Message compares the excitement arising out of the Harper’s Perry business to tho volcanic fires which burn them selves out by their own violence, and the ashes , of which help to- enrich—tho-fortility of the land. Tho slavery agitation will have its day, and will then die out, like the thousand issues which preceded it. Tho events at Harper’s Perry will cause tho people to pause and reflect upon the perils to our institutions arising from each acts and with reflection will come the cure of the mischief,—The true principle of control over slavery having been established by the Supreme has settled down into peace, and new territories will hereafter come into the Union without all the political agita tion which attended the admission of that Ter ritory.—All lawful means are actively employed against the African slave trade, and . the evils of re-opening it are pointed ont. —Mr. Ward’s conduct in China in respecting the customs of tho government and people, meets with the ap probation of tho President. —Paraguay, in a friendly spirit acceded to the demands of the United States, and new treaties of friendship and commerce have been entered into.—Our re lations with all the governments of Europe are friendly, except with Spain, which government yet neglects to settle the just claims against her, and no reasonable prospect of settling the claims exists iu the President’s opinion, unless the negotiations embrace the acquisition of Cuba.—The Clayton and Bulwer treaty diffi culty, it is believed will be settled in good time. —The San Juan dispute has been placed by Gen. Scott in a position that both governments can continue their correspondence without any from the -hasty action of subordinates. —Tho trouble we have with Mexico is referred ■jo, and the recommendation renewed that au- thority bo given to establish military posts across tho Mexican line in Sonora and Chihua , hua, as a protection to Americans and Mexi cans against Indian incursions.—A treaty with Nicaragua, ratified by that government, will be laid before the United States Senate. Tbe recommendation that tho President be autho rized to employ the naval force for the protec tion of the Isthmus travel, is again earnestly urged, with the additional recommendation that the authority be extended to be used against Mexican and South American governments dis posed to lawless seizure of American property. The peaceful termination of the Paraguayan expedition is citod ns an illustration that the power would not bo abused.—The necessity of providing fur the claims -of the contractors for carrying the*mails is referred to, and the atten tion of Congress called to the danger of leaving the government without the necessary appro priations for carrying on the several depart ments,—-In connection with this subject, he recommends the passage of a law requiring the Congressional representation to be filled before the 4th of March in each year of odd number, so that Congress can bo summoned »t any pe riod'when Us service are required. Under the present arrangement, summoning Congress to gether at the close of one term would leave a number of the States unrepresented. Tho Pa cific Railroad is recommended and reason given why it is required as a measure of public policy. The attention of Congress is also called to the duty of reducing the expenditures of govern ment to the lowest possible standard consistent with public interests. Prom the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, it is doubtful, if for the present and succeeding year, tho revenue will bo sufficient to meet all the expenrtUu*oo and a duty on imports ; a recommended in pref erence to a resort to Joans.” Aveh'a American Almanac fbr ISSS is now ready for delivery gratis at all the drug stores, who are happy to supply all that call for them.

The Philadelphia Ledger mentions a singu lar fact in connection with recent coal oil discoveries in Pennsylvania. Jn many places Lathe Valley of Oil Creek the ground is cov ered with pits, hundreds and thousands of them, evidently dug for the. purpose of gathering oil, and at a period so remote that trees 250 years old are growing over them. The query is, by whom were these pits dug, and" fur what pur pose was the oil gathered? - Per. Alexander Clark, Editor of the School Visitor, says : “We have had ample opportu nities to know that the entire faculty of the Iran City College is composed of competent and faithful instructors, that‘every inducement an nounced in the widely diffused advertisements of this institution, is promptly carried out, in the course of study and disciplino by which this college has won its present reputation." Too Good to be Lost.-— A Democrat who owns a lead mine at Shullaburg, Wisconsin, was a candidate for the Legislature at the late election. On election day, ho hired 53 Repub licans to work in his mine; after he had got them all 130 feet below the surface, the ladder was drawn up to have some new rounds put in it, and he neglected to return it till the polls were closed, which resulted in his election by 52 majority. When Gov. Soward entered his gateway, and was standing within it, all the clergymen of the various denominations in Auburn, waiting to welcome him home, he lost the power of speech. He entered his house in silence. Among the very many pleasing incidents in his reception, was an evening visit of congratulation from thirty little girls. The editor of the Eldorado (Texas) Times has a child named Kansas. The editor of the Wcdawee (Ala.) Mercury says ho would be afraid to call a child Kansas for fear it would have no constitution “Never despair.” ■Washington Irving leaves a large fortune to be divided amongst his ! nephews and nieces. For the last eight or ten years he has probably received from his books alone an annual aver age income of s2o^ooo. Mexico has had fifty-sis presidents since the establishment of the, Republic in 1522. That's about one for each eight months. M.-S.
