The L&wrenceville indignation meeting, on Monday evening, resulted in the appointment of a committee of three, (Jhas. Peterson, Kobt. Sellers and Jus. Campbell, to confer with the Directors of the (Jitizsus’ Passenger Railway, and request an abatement of the one horse cir nuisance, and to arrange, if possible, for the commuting of tolls on the road. Although the indignation meeting reached no positive re mit, and failed to impress upon the stony hearted management of the so-called Citizens' Passenger Railway the many grievances com plained of, yet we cannot believe Mr. Yerner will fail to see and foei that his customers are dissatiifled with his goods and will have some thing better if they can obtain it. We are willing to certify, from experience equal to the oldest Inhabitant, on this fine oftravel, that the policy recently adopted is not only selfish and mean, but contemptible in every way. The Idea of placing upon this much travelled route, old omnibus bodies, which have been assessed and paid for at three limes more than their valae, is a little t<>o extravagant to be borne with patience. If no better excuse can be given than the painting of the two horse cars, and that in the winter season, then Messrs. V cmer, Holmes, Speer, Jones A Ce , bad better take up one rail, now on the single track, and run wheelbarrows. Instead of sav ing one conductor, they might save the driver and one or more horses. About eleven o’clock on Monday night those who happened to be in tbo vicinity of Liberty and Seventh streets were startled by a loud explosion, like that of a six pouuder, which shook ail the houses for some distance around. The explosion seemed to proceed from the ground, about the middle of Liberty Btreet, at the mouth of Seventh, and from this point a stream of Bmoke seemed to ascend, carrying a ball of fire, which burst over the roof of R. £ A* 0. Duncans’ store, on Liberty street. The rest, about the size of billiard balls, scattered about in various directions, doing no material damage. A wreath of smoke was soon ob served oq the roof of Messrs. Duncan’s store, and theapparatus of tho Neptune company was soon on the spot, the membors having been holding a meeting, not yet adjourned. The fire was soon extinguished, with no mate rial damage. Speculation as to the cause of the explosion was rife, and many supposed an infernal machine had boen ignited, but it is most likely that some new triumph of pyro techney was discharge'! by some person anx ious to see its operation*,perhaps the inventor. The hour chosen, however, was not a very seasonable one, startling, as it did, a portion of our citizens from their sleep and their pro priety. Highway Kobukby.— On Monday night, about twelve o’clock, a countryman named Ephraim Herrlott, residing about nine miles from the city, on the Washington road, was knocked down, on High street, near Wylie, by three men, who robbed him of his pocket book, containing four or six dollars, and left him senseless. The man was afterward* picked up, with an ugly, but notdangerous wquodon bis head. The Mayor’s police were informed of the robbery, and suspicion falling upon William Arnold, John bird and Enoch Howell, they started In search uf them. Ar« nold was arrested in the morning in the afternoon Bird and Howell were traced to the house of Barah Lewis, on Strawberry alley. On reaching a room, which wss found locked, an inmate of t+.e house said it was her room, that the parlies for whom tho officer* wore searching had not been there, and positively refused to open the door. Officer fiddle un locked the door and found Bird aud Howell in bed, apparently asleep. Enoch had a revolver, but did not shoot. They wero taken to the tombs and locked up for a hearing in the even ing, when ths M*yor lully commuted them for trial. The Neptune Kike C«mi*an held a meet* ing on Monday evening, at wou-h the follow ing resolutions were adopted : Revolted, That this company contribute their bell to the Firemen's Association,as their proportion to the Central Alarm Bell, recently suggested by tho Association to be cast; pro viding that said Association in return furnish them with the Fire Alarm Telegraph without any expense to tho company. ResoXvtd, That we approve of the recom mendation of the Association to alter or amend our By-Laws concerning the annual election of delegates. On motion, the Uy«L&ws were altered, mak ing it obligatory upon the company to annually elect 00* person to ; serve as a dolegato tor three years.

Humboldt.-— When Bayard Taylor M ret delivered bis most interesting lecture on the “Life and Character of Humboldt," the truth of some statements regarding the religious opinions of the great philosopher was denied. By a perverted use of some isolated sentences, quite a serious charge against Mr. Taylor’s veracity was manufactured. We are assured by those who have heard him lecture that the charge cannot bo sustained, and that the lec ture itself is a most complete refutation.

Laid on tbe Labile, The Housothon took up tboYolunteer bill. Mr. Howard, of Michigan, resumed his re marks in favor of tbo bill, which he argued merely gttvo a construction to laws already in existence. It was the duty of Congress to put into the hands of the President the means for performing hia duly and point out the mode in which ho should do it, and they could not bo removed from this obligation. He repeated that the President Bbouid have the power to execute tbu Constitution in all its parts; the highest duly of the government, which dates far anterior to all Cunatitulicns, is to preserve iu existence. Mr. Pryor, of \ a , said it was the purpose of the dominant party, as plainly manifested and openly avowed, to drive through this bill by the pressure of an irredstiblo run, as this was a foregone conclusion, he hojxd it would pass at once, that the people of Virginia and the South, may be aroused to the penis which menace their destruction, he defiantly chal lenged them to assume the attitude of hostility corresponding to their bloody designs; he knew the Republican party are resolved never to recognize the Independence of the seceded Slates, nor surrender their control over the captured forts. In short, they are resolved to permit the South no other alternative but sub mission or subjugation, in the event of the South declining to capitulate,coercion by arms is their purpose sod policy. Who is there so bol laa to deny this assertion * He desired to proclaim it to the country that tbo policy of the dominant party, and the incoming Admin istration, is to carry slaughter. &nd the sword into the bosoms of the people of the South, rather than tolerate the existence of the South* era Confederacy. The object if Io chastise and subdue the seceded Slates. By the bill the President may carry on against them a vigor ous hostility. I o fact it was a measure of fra ternal acd civil war, and clearly against the letter and spirit of the constitution. Mr. Curtis, of lowa, said that Mr. Pryor had indulged in a Btr&in of declamation and denunciation similar to that of Ills colleage, Mr. Bocook. The Republicans were accused of meditating coorcion, when eyerythihg they had done and said bad no such bearing. Gen tlemen had expressed the hop 6 that the bill would speedily pass for the purpose of arousing Virginia, and the South. Ha ( did not thus speak to reason, to tbo bill o£ Congress, but to the Convention of Virginia, and to the Assemblies of the South who are taking action against his own mother country. The gontlem&ti's own statembat that a Con federacy exists within the United Slates should induce us to draw arouod odrselvos all the means of power and protection we can com* mand. If we are a nation, ought to show it What are the pillars 6f government 7 Goodness, Wisdom and Pow*AThere can be uo government without no law without iu sanction, the omission of Which 1 would be mere advuo The hill now pending was lor means of defence and (or the sake of peao*. it asked that the government shall nave more power. lie contended that there was nothing uncon- i fttilulion&l in the bill which only extended the < provisions of existing laws. Jefferson, Modi son, arid other Presidents had power to call 1 out the Stato troops. Ho repeated that the 1 b'll ii> intended to aid in tho execution o( the ( laws, and maintain our common government, and protect and shield our citizens in all sec* I lions. Ho did not wish to mako war on tho 1 > Hilbert! States, but on every man who raised i his hand against tho government . as they did f in ttie Southern States who are in rebellion 1 against it. 1 f gentlemen havo an affection for i the country, "let them rally round iu standard, I There is no peaco if the people will not show 1 more loyalty. Peace and the safety of society depend on a government which every man is i b.'ucd to support, and the government is I bound to support every man. Tuoro vva.« no < right m suet-sion. ’ Mr. Uuraott, of £y , asked whether it was * tho | urposo o! the Republicans under this bill < to reinforce the forD in ibe seceded SlaU»,now held by tho Federal Government, and to < recapture tho forts taken ihorein, unless they I sbV.i bo surrendered 1 w. julh. Ho recognized ro- 1 hellion and civil war as existing in tho South. ’ He would resort to all Lonorable moans to l avoid a conflict with arms, and ho did not be J liuvo it would bo necessary to move au army < thither, until tho people curry thoir bmlilUiefi i Btul furlhor bireina'- the Lu;teU Bvuloj. Mr. liurnot, though out iati»flod with tho answer, eaid that he muat&ccopt it. Ue asked ] another question : In eieouttng and enforcing thu laws, do you hold it necossary in doing so i to reinforco the Southern forts in possession of : tho Federal Government, and to ro espture i the public j.ropertj- Jlr. Curtis rot'llod that ho was notgotug to say, in open session ami in public, what it may no tho duty of the country to do, and ho would i only speak of designs and measures in secret session, if it was for hustilo t urposes. Mr. Simms, of Ky., in ins seat, exclaimed “murder." Mr. Curtis, in the coarse of nis reply, said that murder cams from tbo other side. The acts of assassins were not from the itepubli oans. The murderous axo against the govern, ment was wielded by persons skulking in thh executive chamber and Senate of the \Jnited States, striking at their own mother—thoir mother country. Mr. Burnett believed with Mr. Pryor that the passage of this bill was a foregone conclu sion, and a declaration of war. Such a meas un was never before passefi by Congress, nor received the approval of any President. Those who framed and put the Constitution into operation, expressly declared that under no circumstances—in no conceivable stale of the cose, were the militia of the several States over to be called into the service of tho Federal Government, eicept in subordination to tho civil power. The bill gave the President un limited power over the army and navy, and enabled him to call into service three m‘Ui°ns of Tolunleerf. The lime has gone past to deal with theories. Xhe fact of secession must be looked on aa a reiMtjj The revolution wp peaceful and sucoess'ul, and the re sult U a pQnfeder&ted government. Was it, therefore, not better gs our posterity to recognise that government, not.its independence, but the existing fact, and then to treat with it, instead of involving and threatening the country with civil war. JNo man had more !ove for the Union than him self, butit must be one of equality, and Ken tucky would stand by no otnor. Mr. Corwin, of Ohio,moved that the further consideration of the bill be postponed till Thursday, at one o’olock. Mr. Stanton, of Ohio, said that Buch a post ponement, would be fatal to the bill as the Senate would not have time to act on it. The motion, however, prevailed, yeas luO, nays 7-1. Mr. Grow moved that tho House proceed to the consideration of the territorial business, which had been set for to-day. The Speakor said that the report ot the committee of thirty«lhree had precedence. - Mr. Grow moved to postpone this subject ti-U to-morrow at one o’clock. .jjffnon hjtil Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, moved to postpone till Saturday. They*** nay* were ordered on Mr. Bingham Mr. EUofemiH rose to the question before the House, speaking, when ■-T f 'V*-''’ -- * MfcSf. ■s d. J. ■; A>'\ ' . •* Mr. Sickles, of New York, called him tu order. The latter was in time called U> onlm l»y the Kopublican aide.and a ppiritod and harried colloquy occurred between liii Itm'-.n and Sickles.who occupy dillerent sidt.s ol the ball. The excitement was every wbero preva lent, Mr. Potter, and others making a few ro marksjamid the greatest possiblocoaiusion aod calls to order. Mr. John Cochrane, of N. Y., moved that the galleries be cleared ; (Laughter,) not that the galleries wero behaving badly, but be cause he was unwilling that they should Wit ness this disgraceful scene. ( Renewed laugh ter j Tho colloquy between Messrs. Hickman and Siokles was renewed, during which the confusion broke out afrosh. Mr. Hickman, a refreshing | quiet having been restored, explained what be had been al; merely to move a further amendment that the report of the Committee of Thirty-three bo postponed till Thursday at three o’clock. The Speaker said that he had always onJeav. ored to do what was right to gentlemen on both sides, and that Mr. Hickman wsa in order. In ottering bis amendment this was voted on and disagreed to; yeas JIG; nays 162- The motion to postpone till Saturday was negatived; yeas '»'l; nays ll‘i, and that to post pone till tomorrow, likewise; yeas 77; nay 3 11 ‘2. The report was now before the House Mr. Corwin said he did not propose to dis cuss any of tho questions involved. Ho was sure the debate had become wearisome, and be did not suppose it possible that there could bo a change in the opinion of any gentleman. He desired to take up such measures, without respect to the order, as might be considered as vital, and of the most importance. So, that if gentlemen should tire with voting they could omit the comparatively immaiorial proposi tions of the Committee. A dispute aroao as to which proposition should be Uret voted upon. Several motions to adjourn were negatived, and much confusion prevailed. Mr. Washburno, of 111 , moved that when the House adjourn it be till Friday. Senate.— The annual report of the Smith- Bonian Institution was received and urderod to bo printed? Mr. Thompson, of New Jersey, presented a petition in favor o 1 the Crittenden resolutions. Mr. Dixon, ol Connecticut, presented a peti tion in favor of the Border Stale resolutions. The joint resolution to repeal the resolution in favor of George Fisher was taken up and pas sed. The Oregon war debt bill was taken up, and on motion of Mr. Lane , a Committee of con ference appointed on tho amendments of the House. The bill for the organization of the Territo ry of Colorado w*s taken up. Mir. Green, of Missouri, moved that tho Senate concur in the amendment of tbe House. Mr. Douglas, of Illinois, opposed the amendment of the House. The House amendment was agreed to—yeas lib, nays IK The bill to organize tbe Territorial Govern ment of Nevada was taken up and passed.— Tbe bill to organize the Territory of Dacolah wrs also taken up and passed. A committee of conference was appointed on the tariff bill on tbe disagreeing vote of the two houses on the amendment placing a duty on tea and coffee. The Post Ruto bill was taken up. Mr. Latham, of Cal., then moved that the Senate agree to the House amendments on the post-route bill. The motion waß agreed to, and the bill passed. Mr. Gwin, of CaL, introduced a supple mental potLroule bill, which was laid over amt ordered to be printed. " The army appropriation bill was then taken up. Richmond Va., Feb. 26. —1 n the (Jonven tlon to-day, Mr. Moore's resolutions approv ingeftbe Crittenden compromise, were l&k en up. Mr. Goode finished bis speech. Ho argued that it was the duty of Virginia in this trying hour to go with tbe South as the only method of restoring peaco to tbe country. Mr Godin read a series of resolutions which he proposed to offer, declaring j that the Southern States should have proposed amendments to the Constitution in pur suance with tbe fifth article thereof; that it is tho duty of Virginia to invoke the co-operation of tbe border States to provide measures for concurrent action hereafter; that Virginia is attached to the Union as it was, but it does not protect her rights as it is; that it becomes her peoplo in Convention assembled, to look to every rem edy of relief, and provide in the event of fail ure to future relations she is to occupy, having duo regard to her position as one of tho South orn States. Mr. Gotlin made a lengthy speech. He denied the constitutional right of secession, but admitted that there was & revolutionary remedy for wrongs. He wanted a consulta tion with the other Border Slates, looking to the (urination of a new confederacy, other States may bo Invited to join.— He was opposed to precipitate action, but whenevor Virginia deemed it best to go, he would go with her. He bolioved that tbn in terests of Virginia would be insecure in a Southern Confederacy, but the period for a conference with the North bad now passed. He gave way to a motion to adjourn. Fort Kearney, Feb. 26.—Tho Pony Kx. press passed at 5J o'clock p. m. San Francisco, Feb 18.—The last eastern dispatches telegraphed to Fort Kearney on the 29thult.,were telegraphed from Carson Valley to San Francisco on the morning of tho 9th inst, crossing the continent iu tan days. The debate bn the Union resolutions was continued in each branch of the Legislature, and the Assembly has ilnally passed resolutions endorsing the Crittenden Compromise, and the views expressed by Messrs. Breckinridge and Douglas In opposition to the use of measures. The Democratic papers urge tho Senate's concurrence on this resolution, which is regarded as an indication that the Doug* las and Breckenridge wings are to unite in one Democratic party as it existed prior to Buchanan's Administration. {Several more attempts have been made in the Assembly to concur in the Senate's resolu tion for a Joint convention on the 20th inst to elect a U. S Senator, but each time without success, the Republicans and Breckinridge Democrats continuing to act together toward starving off an election. Richmond, Va., Fob. 26.—A strong speech wab made is the State Convention yesterday, by Mr. Moore, of Rockbridge, Gov. Letcher’s Distriot, the substance of which was that the Secession movement was inimical to the rights of Virginia, the whole South generally, and the people of Richmond particularly. It was decidedly of a Union tendency, and strongly against the aotion ol south Carolina. Tbe secessionists posted bills yesterday after noon calling upon every true Southerner to at tend an indignation meeting. Music was en gaged, and about fifteen thousand persons as* aembled near the Exchange Hotel. Strong Southern speeches were made by several dele gates. W ifie c &U°d idr, but was uns well. The meeting then adjourned to tbe Spottawood House, where more speeches were made. An attempt to burn Mr. Moore in effigy waa stopped by the Mayor. The whole affair was a decided secession demonstration, gotten up by parties in the negro business and selling interests Independence, Feb.' 2G —The Santa Fe mail, with dates to the 28th ult., arrived here to day. Business in Banta Fe was extremely dull except in provisions, which commanded good prices and quick sales. This mail came in with an escort of soldiers, and their slock giving out was the cause of the delay. The weather on the plains waß tine and warm. Thousands of Indians were seen on the roads, and among them the prince of devils, Santaok, tbe Kiowa Chief. He offered the party no molestation. The conductor says the commanding officer at Fort Wise treats him as though he were a great friend to the whites, and for 'fear he wilt be shot by those whom he has injured, has placed a guard over jjguLgvery night to protect him. * .- e . 0. . r i‘- y ■■■ "■ i Wa-hinuion. Feb. 20.— The dißpatch re ceived yesturdny by the Secretary of War, in* Jororng him that Gen. Twiggs had dared the military property to the revolution* itU in Texap.waa from the Commissary of Sub sietanco, dated at Now Orleans. He added that a* a boon, tbe use of Government means of transportation was allowed to take the fed eral troops to the seaboard, and they were per* milted to take with them three or four cannon and their side arms. The Sacretary received this morning documents from Texas showing that as early as the 7th of February, Twiggs was entering into negotiations with the Texans for the surrender of the military property. Col. Waite was several weeks ago appointed to succeed Twiggs as chiof of tbe military de* i.artmcot of Texas, but it appears that he hud not reached there at the time of Twigg’g surrender, which is considered by the Gov ernment authorities here as one of the most dugruceful and atrocious acts committed by Lho secessionists. Nebraska City, Feb. 26.—The communi cation from this place in regard to the . Otoe Indians, published in tbe papers of the 21st, was erroneous. Tbe agent, though cons fined lo the house by serious illness, had, to the Utter, followed the instructions of the depart ment, which he will fearlessly . continue to ei ecu to although his own life and the peace of his family have been endangered by the law less mob. The Indiana , were uncomplaining until thirty of them were induced by Bomo debased white men to come to this city knowing the agent was unable to come to thorn. The whites were making threats, and not tho Indians. Washington, Feb. 2G. —The most reliable reports as to the construction of Mr. Linccln’s Cabinet is as follows: Secretary of State—- Wm. H.
