Dkae Sir ; The ladies of Lawrenceviiie, uot Ming satis lied with tho result rf the indigrm tlon meeting held by the gentlemen of that plnce on Monday evening last, resolved to hold a private mooting at the house of Mrs. S. and express their sentiments on tho subject, as they deemed themselves quite as much inter, ested in the matter as the gentlemen. The meeting was very largo, (as well as some of the ladies) and on motion of Miss (1., ilrs. S. was called to the rocking chair, and Mias J. appointed Secretary. Mr,. S., after stating the object of the meeting, proceeded to give her views on the subject, as follows : I.adies—This Is not a ouo-horse town, and 1 cannot bear tho idoa ol having such an assor. tion made to me when I visit my husband, connections next fall in Philadelphia. We are not to be bamboozled In this manner, after being enticed to move out hore, by the Indoce mentof large.comforUble two-hurso car,, with handsome and agreeable conductora, and a quick jourrey, which are abandoned, by pis. cingtn their stead those abominable ono-ht rse, one-boy and ooe-a'.ep go caru, which no female can get into without caring In her bonnet, or out of without brushing in her hoops and showing her dirty stocking. Those mean fellows who are making so mnch money off our mu™ of visitors who, oomo out whenever the weather is line, might a, well expect a girl who has worn a silk dross all her life to come down to calico after she is married. Kiss C. then rose on a sofa in a very exci ted manner and slated that sho bad been com pellod td go out In the rain and get into the Sharpsburg car to go to the cemetery, wbero she was again put out at this end of ,'ihe wall when she lived only at the other end of it, al though tho law rfquired the company to take Passengers anywhere within tho borough of Lawrenceviiie, for five cents. Miss M. M. declared that she was perfectly disgusted at having boon obliged to get out in the mud to accommodate the Sharp»burg cat on her way to the cemetry. Hi**T. was not to be imposed upon and VOQldwalk before sho would pay live cents more for lie distance sbe went abuve tho cemetery. Mrs. F. moved that a committee ..f sixteen old maids be appointed to waft on the officer, of the company every day anti! the nuisance was abated, which pasted unanlmouily and the meeting adjourned IMiu M. J. Secy. Mius M. President. - A company hare erected the necessary w, rkx at Kittanning, and will soon cotnmonco boring for oil.—Severs 1 companies hare organized for the purpose of boring for oil in WcetmoraLnd county.—A good vein of oil was struck at Smith’s Ferry, on Saturday, at 73 feet, by a Mr. Uosanlhail. just across tho creek from the Pattou well. It yiolds a barrel of pure oil every? eighteen minutes, thirty -eight barrels having been filled up in the drat nine hour,— Mr. R Gibson, boring on tho Clapp farm, near Franklin, last week struck a promising vein at a depth of seven feat in the rock —On Tuos. day, 431 barrels of oil arrived here by river, the Minorva bringing ISO barrels from the Kanawha wells, and the Venango 301 barrels from the Franklin district Messrs.

This novel arrangement can bo icon at the Allegheny wharf.—The 'Weli.wlle Pa trio! says : "Smith & Co., opposite here, have been boring some three or lour days, and have ;>enetrated the rock about feet.

Mrs. Stelson is an accom plished actress, and will, in a great measure, repay for the lamentable infliction of Miss Levering. Miss Irving will make her mark and become a favorite. Mr. Maißtt, our old Pittsburgh favorite, is engaged. Messrs. Hancbett, Bernard, Mackey and olbors aro too well known to need a word. The opening biil will be Buckßtone’s comedy of “Married Life,'’ and a new tragical, farcical, comical, diabolical burlesque, entitled “The Union." MBWIM i not Burolbry.— Between three and four o’clock on Tuesday morning the bouse of Patrick Howe, on Waslnhgton street, between Wylie and Pennsylvania Avenne, was entered by burglars, through a window in the rear, and after taking all the money they aould.flnd from the pockets of Mrs. Howe and her son, pasted through to the store, where they emptied the till. The vUitors realized about $4O in all. Ur. Howe was absent and the thieves were so quiet that no one in the house was disturbed. The thieves left behind them a piece of can dle and the poker with which they opened the window. Thu, it was ascertained, had been stolen from the houso of Wru- Dickson, across the street, which they entered, but found no adequate reward for their troublo. We trust some of these bold burglars may soon be caught and punished as they deservo. W* neglected to notice the complimentary concert to Sig. Giaroboni, on Monday evening, at Concert Hall.

Russell, or any person for ! him, has directly or indirectly paid moner to officer of the United States, or any cither person, to assist him in obtaining contracts or allowances from the Government, or a»sist ing him in tho transaction of business with the same. | Mr. Bui nett, of K.y , suggested an amend -1 mrnt, that any person charged shall baso noti fied, and have the right to examine the wit ness. Tho proceedings, bo said, should not he inquisitorial. Mr. Morris, of Illinois, said that there had been no inquisition, and bu would have no ob jection to tne amendment if the timo could be allowed for such a course as that suggested. - Tbe resolution was adopted. Mr. Shormen, of Ohio, from the Conference committee reported that the Senate Committee had recoded from their amendment imposing a on tea and coffee. Ibo House resumed the consideration of the report ot the Committee of Thirty Three.— The hr»t joint resolution voted on vu the.ub stitule of Burch and Stout, recommending to the »eveml States of the Union that they, through their respective Legislatures, request CongreM to call a convention of all the States in accordance with the llflh article of the Con stitution, for the purpose of amending the Con ,tltution in such manner, and with regard to such subjects as will more adequately respond lo the wants, and afford more sufficient guar antees to the diversified and growing inter, ests of the Government, and of the people composing the same. While the roll was being called, Mr. Carter, ot N Y , .aid he would vote for the proposition if it had come from a slave State.

Mr. Mallory, of Ky , voted am for an entirely different reason, believing that the Cjventlon would result in healing the wounds of the nation. Mr. Mason, of Vo., voted “no,” believing that the pending proposition would retard a vote on the Crittenden proposition. Mr. English,*>f Ind., said if there was no better plan to adjust the difficulties, bo would vote for a National Convention. John Cochrane, of New York, expressed himself In favor of a Convention fresh from the people. Mr. Florence, of Ta , was opposed to ultra fanatical abolitionism, and believing the Crit lonlen proposition was sufficient for the pur pose of peace, volod '‘no.'' Xhw march faUmi substitute was rejected; yeas 74, nay, 10t‘. Very mick confusion prevailed throughout the proceedings, and it was objected that strangors should be admitted on the floor, as they tended to increase the disorder.

The flrst proposition of the Committco, was announced with the pending amendments H was the joint declaration of iho duty of recognising all Constitutional obligations, and recommending such action on the part of.

Mr. Corwin, of Ohio, moved to strike out ArLiclo 12, and Insert, that no amendment shall be made to tbe Constitution which will invest Congress with the powor to abolish or interfere within any State with tbe domestic Institutions thereof, including that of persons held lo labor or servitude by tho laws of said Mate. Mr. Hickman moved to lay the subject on tho table ; negatived—yeas C 7 ; nays 22. The joint resolution, as amended at the in stance of Mr. Corwin, was rejeoted—yeas 120 ; nays 71, not receiving the two-thirds vote. Mr. Kilgore moved to reconaidor the vote. Mr. Bingham moved to lay that motion on the table. Mr. Hickman moved to adjourn till Friday. Not agreed to. There was much confusion throughout tho proceedings. Mr. Phelps, of Mo., wished to know whether the Bepubllcans were filibustering to defeat the passage of the appropriation bill. A motion was maue to adjourn. Mr. Kilgore, of Ind., moved to lay the ponding proposition, together with the pend ing amendments, viz: the Crittenden and Kel- logg amendments, on tbe table. Iho motion was decided in the negative,veas 14, nays 175. The Speaker said, in responie to the nume rous questions, that. If Mr. Kellogg agreed to it, the proposition would supercede the vote on the Crittenden proposition to which it was a substitute. Mr. Kellogg ineffectually songht to with draw his proposition for the present, but numerous points of order were raised. Mr. Kellogg’s joint resolution was rejeoted. Several gentlemen explained as a reason why they voted against it was that they wanted an opportunity to vote on the Crittenden proposi tion as offered by Mr. Clemens. The House then proceeded to vote on the latter .- it was also rejected ; yeas, 80—nays, 113. The question then recurred on the first resolution in the series reported from the Com- mittee above referred to. Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, moved to lay them on the table. Disagreed to. Mr. McOlernand, of Illinois, asked that the Communication on the Speaker’s table from tbe President of the Peace Conference, be taken up. Mr. Washbarne, of Ills., and Vandever, ot lowa, objected. Mr. Brabson, of Tenn., said he was in favor of enforcing the laws, but it would be impru dent and dangerous to do so against the seced- ing States.

After further consideration the bill was passed Tho Vice President received a message an nouncing that the Convention Jmd approved and he had enclosed, a proposition and asking Congress to submit the same to the legislatures of tho riiales •The Clerk read the proposition agreed upon ty the Convention, which is a moulded plan of what was offered by Mr. Gutherie and amended by Mr. Franklin. Mr. jCrittonden, of Ky., moved that the proposition be printed, and referred to a select committee, with instructions to report to-mor, row at one o’clock. Agreed to, with a Bpecial vote on that portion of the motion, in regard to instruction—yeas 20—nays 21, Mr Clingm&n,' of N. C., said that though ho was utterly opposed to the proposition, still he was willing to give in to the direction of bis friends, so he voted aye. Mr. Lathram, of California, changed his vote He said he thought it unnecessary to waste time, but yielded to the judgment of his political associates. Mr. Mason, of Va , moved logo into exe cutive session, but the yeas apd nays being called on the motion, he moved, according to the rule, that the galleries be cleared, which was done. After an executive Bession the Senate ad joured. Washington. Keb. 27.—The majority of the Select Committee of Five, Messrs. How ard, of Mich., Hawes and John H. Reynolds, made a report to tbe House to-day, through the last named gentleman, to tbe communica tions between the President and the South Car olina Commissioners, who had .for the object of their mission hither, a demand on our govern ment for the delivery of Port Sumpter to the authorities of that State. The Committee say that, considering the position assnmed by the President in his annual message in respect to the right of a State to withdraw from the Union, and the total absence of power on the part of the executive to recognize the valid ity of any such attempt, they cannot but re. gard the mission itself as well as the manner m which it has been treated by the President, as among the most remarkable events of the extraordinary times in which wo live. The committee cannot pereeive on what principle tbe President has assumed to entertain or hold JW _offigial .commumoation pf tho character disclosed, with the representatives of South Carolina, for it seems to the committee ob- Tious enough that under the principle an nounced in the annual message, the members composing that commission were acting under tho sanction of a disloyal Btate and oould be regarded in no other light than as engaged in a revolutionary effort to subvert the govern ment, and being so regarded, it would appear to have been the plain duty of the Executive to enforce the laws against any individual, however eminent and respectable, known or suspected of complicity in any treasonable movement. The committee say that they are not able to resist the inference that in the beginning of the revolutionary movement against the gov eminent there were relations of an extremely friendly character between those who contem plated rebellion and those whoßeduty it was to suppress it. The-minority report made by John Coch rane, takes tbe ground that by reference to the public mot sag os of the President, so far from bis having admitted tbe Commissioners from any seceding States to diplomatic intercourse, he explicitly refused to do so, and rigidly guarded against the presumption. He never received them otherwise than as distinguished citizens, and the only reason of the question being presented to Congress, as appears from the report, was the refusal of the President, and the reference of the question to that body. Washington Citv, Peb. 27.—The city au thorities this afternoon c .lied on the President in accordance with prior arrangements, to take leave of him in view of his retiring from his present executive position. Tbe parting ceremonies over, the oity authorities called on the President elect, who. In replying to the Mayor of Washington’s introductory remarks, thanked them for their vjait, and extended his cordial welcome. He thought that the bad feeling which existed between the two sections was owing to a misunderstanding, and he availed himßelf of the occasion to assure his visitors that he never bad any feeling, other than of kindness toward the Southern citizens. He had no desire or intention to withhold any of their rights and expressed the hope that they would come to know each other. Washington Citv, Feb. 27.— The Com mittee of Conference on the Tariff bill recom mended its passage by the Senate as amended by the House, striking out the duty on teaand coffee. Tbe Senate agreed to this and the bill stands passed. A communication has been sent to both Housos by tbe President of the Peace Congress announcing that that body had approved a proposition and asking that Con gress recommend the same to the State legisla tures for their action. It ia a modified form of the proposition presented by Mr. Guthrie to tho Peace Congress, in the Senate It was ordered to be printed and referred to a select committee, with instructions to report to* morrow. The House passed the first series of resolu tions reported by the Committee of Thirty, throe. Washington, Feb. 26. —The Committee of Conference, consisting of Messrs. Simmons, Hunter and Bigler, on the part of the Senate, and Messrs. Sherman, Phelps and Moorhead on the part of the House, on ths disagreeing amendments to tbe tarifi bill, namely, the tax on tea and coffee,had a meeting to night, when tho Committee of the Senate agreed to recede from it, and recommend their concurrent ac tion to that body, which will doubtless adopt the report. This will pass the bill through both Houses. The estimated revenue to be de rived from tho tax on tea and coffee was set down at live millions of dollars. Washington, Feb. 27 —Evening The Peace Conference to-day, by their action in voting down the substitute of Mr. Franklin, of Pennsylvania, placed themselves in the po stion where they Btood a week ago. Someiof the~Southern Commissioners are much discour aged, but they were somewhat comforted by the assurance of these freiin other sections tint they will endeavor toreconcila theconflict ing views on the subject of slavery. in tha ter ritories to morrow, to which day they adjourn Washington Cm, Feb. 27—The Peace Conference to-day prised and-passed bv a TO >° ° f ? in ? 8t eight, the Pr’anldm substitute to the Guthrie; proposition.
