JOII,N MINOR BOTTS-VIRGINIA. CHM-
%LRY
Eierybody has heard of the distinguished
Virginian who " slept with John Tyler," and
saved the Union, but everybody does not know
that the aforesaid John Minor has been travel
ingin Europe, and has ‘• spared no pains nor ex
pense " to make a bigger fool of himself
abroad than he ever did at home. According
to the New York Tams, a venomous letter
writer has been taking notes of John's pro•
eeedings abroad. This writer says that in the
month of December last Mr. Botts was in
Rome, beholding the sights of the Eternal City,
and behaving himself, doubtless, as became
an ex-member of the American Congress, and
a representative of the chivalry of Virginia.
Little could lie have dreamed as he lounged
through the galleries of the Borghese and the
Doria; the Corsini and the Barberini, that a
demon was by his side, penning away his
name and fame in '• private letters " to some
cruel correspondent at New York! This
subtle caluminator begins his attack by ex
pressing " his atunsement " with Mr. Botts—
as if a, Virginian orator were sent 'abroad, a
blind Samson, to make mirth for Philistines
like himself —and then goes on to describe
the feats by which Mr. Botts had succeeded
in tickling his jaded fancy. Ile asserts in the
first place, that Mr. Botts had made the tour
of Europe, like a Manchester bagman, skim•
ming in three months through "N or way,
Sweden, Russia, Denmark, Austria, t er
many, Prussia, France and Italy "—that he
traveled from Florence to Naples, " seeing "
both tit= s .-s, within a single week—that he gave
"two days " to the capital of Christendom -
and that he intended to "do Switzerland " in
three days ( r the midwinter' season 1 Not
content however with thus branding his dis.
tinguished countryman as an ignoramous of`
the first water, and a foolish spendthrift of
time anti money to do decent purpose, the
anonymous goes on to say that Mr. Botts
imagined -himself to be entitled to great and
peculiar glory for achieving this humble in&
tat'ou of Mr. George Francis Trait and a
hundred others, as well Britons as Yankees,
less known to princes, perhaps, but equally
familiar with post-boys and conductors. Nor
does even this cruel outrage satiate his ma
lignity. After serving up Mr. Botts in the
character of a simpleton, he proceeds to make
him' out a savage. He describes him as as
sisting at the cermonies of Christmas Eve in
the Sistine Chapel ; an occasion, certainly, of
some solemnity and interest to every educated
Christian gentleman of whatever creed ; and
as behaving thereat very much as a Camanche
;ght be expected to behave at a President.al
or in a Washington church; though it

"boldly marched up the aisle, frustrating the

mitting the plea of " Americanism " as a valid

Upon this ;-pecimen of American taste and
cultivation, the Times goes on to remark :
That after suth a story the author thereo
should betray his animus by charging Mr. Botts
with uttering opinions upon the fine arts, and
with the attention of writing a bobk, is natural
enough. Of course, the wish was father to the
thought of the latter allegation which is mani

A number of delegates have passed through
our city on their way to Harrisburg, to at
tend the State Convention on Thursday next.
Pennsylvania's favorite son, the President,
James . Buchanan. will be sustained, endorsed
and vindicated. We should not be astonished
to find an almost unanimous vote for the na
tional administration.
JOSEPH ESQ
This distinguished gentleman has consented
to deliver a lecture for the benefit of St. Paul's
Orphan Asylum in this City, on the 17th of
March, St, Patrick's day. The reputation of
Mr.! Chandler is co-extensive with the county
as an Editor, Statesman and Orator. His un
doubted ability and unblemished character are
so generally and justly appreciated, that we
are spared the necessity of any further notice
than is necessary to announce his name.

It is stated that there are about one million
bushels wheat in the store, and about sixty thou
sand barrels of flour at Chicago. Wheat is sel

that two million bushels of grain will be ready
there for transportation upon the opening of

—The trial of Tuckerman, the mail robber, at
New Haven, Conn., has been posponed until

ommitted.

reported favorably upon a bill to appoint seven

fully agree, with the Baltimore Sun, in saying
that Texas could devote her money to a bet

Northern or Southern, Convention. The great
masses of people of both extremes of the Union
are heartily sick of such sectional move,

The Finance Committee of the Virginia

the Board of Public Works to purchase $500,-

Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. OUT neigh

anxious to try the effect of common law, with
the hope that some trace of that sum may be

the virtues of a. habeas corpus to relieve himself

PAIILO PO6 OP
The New York Times has the following
very sensible remarks upon the Clay and Col
lum difficulty at Washington. Every sensi
ble man will endorse their truths
"We can hardly blame foreigners for consid
ering us only a half civilized people. It would
be difficult for any persoit-who reads the history
of the recent " difficulty" between Clay and Col
lum to come to any conclusion It smacks from
beginning to end of the half-savage and the half
civilized. It began in a , bar-room,----a place
where gentlemen of much self respect are seldom
found. It grew out of whisky drinking,— a
practice in which people of cultivation are not in
the habit of indulging. One of the parties at
tempts a joke ; —be ventures, with bibulous
courage, upon making a humorous remark con
coring his friend. His friend, being not quite
master of his judgement,,,construes it into an in
suit, and after bandying words a little while a
blow is struck-
All this savors of low-life. It smacks of the
cider-cellar and the grog.shop. It is a thing one
might look for between a couple of New Y.,rb
hackmeu, or emigrant runners, meeting in a Ca
nal-street oyster cellar. It sounds like a nation
kl insult to be told that it occurred between mem
bers of Congress,—men of standing and person
al character.
After it had gone thus fart of conree it must
go further. A challenge passes and is accepted.
A duel, in civilized countries is a gentell way of
showing one whom you have injured that you
put your life at hazard for the sako of attaning
for it. It is only among savages and half-civil
ized people, that it degenerates into methodized
murder. But ties° two honorable gentlemen go
to work forthwith to quallify themselves—each
to kill his opponent They repair to safe quar
ters and begin to practice rifle-shooting. The
duel with them ceases to be the resort of a gentle
men and becomes the safeguard of murderers.—
It is used as a cloak for deliberately and inten-
tionaliy taking life. Could anything be more
charasteristio of a nation which has not yet
emerged from the darkhess and barbarity of
semi-civilzation ?"
George Stovall Sentenced to be Hung
George Stovall, who some time since plead
guilty, at New Orleans, of the murder of Mary
Durand, was brought out for sentence on Satur
day week last. The prisoner, who at ono time
was a clergyman, is a man about fifty years of
age, and of respectable and intelligent appear
ance, above the medium height, and, it is stated,
appeared to be in excellent health. He cars
carefully dressed. His black coat, white vest
and white handkerchief were neither observable
under the circumstances. When asked if he had
anything tb say, he handed the Court a letter,
the substance of which we find in the Picayune:
He (the writer) denied that his reputation in
Mississippi was bad, and asserted that be bed
success - fully conducted several educational insti
tutions in that State. After arriving in this city
he remained but a short time, and at length went
to Texas, where he was for a while at the head
of a male and female academy, in the town et'
Huntsville. lu 1848, he returned to New Or
leans, and in 1856 got married. But his hopes
of domestic bliss prove.' deceptive, and in a
short time he and his wife separated, and he fell
into habits of intemperance.
lie then went to Nicaragua, where he became
a commissary under the command of Lockridge,
and after his return to New Orleans he became
more reckless and intemperate than ever. Finally
he fell in with Mary ltay Durand, and for a ~iiio
they " lived and loved together," both being
comparatively happy. But she soon became as
intemperate as himself, and one night she in
formed him that she intended to leave him :mil
enter on a life of public prostitution. The idea
of such a fate for her he could not brook, and ti
save her from a "toter deep" of shame he slew
her, and he asked of the Court all the mercy
which could be extended to him an ier the cir
cumstances.
The Court then, with a solemnity due to the
Occasion, proceeded to pass on the prisoner tho
sentence of death, which sentence is to be put
into execution at such time as the ItAccutive of
the State may appoint.
A COMFORTABLE ESTABLISHMENT.—A. corres
pondent of the New York Independent, thus de
scribes the domain of the Duke of Devonshire:
The domain of the Duke of Devonshire w. uld
cover one of our largest c:unties. The park im
mediately surrounding the palace is eleven miles
in circumference and contains 3,000 acres. The
principal garden for vegetables, f ruits, green
houses, etc., is twenty acres. There are thirty
green-housts, each from fifty to seventy feet
long. We went into three or four containing
nothing but pine-apples ripe ; others containing
nothing but melons and cucumbers. One peach
tree on the glass wall measures fifty-one feet in
width and fifteen feet high, and bears one thous
and peaches. It is the largest in the world. The
grape-houses, five or six in all, are 600 feet long,
and such grapes ! We saw pine-apples weighing
10 or 16 pounds each. One green house had on
ly figs, another only mushrooms. But what
shall be said of the great conservatory, filled
with every variety of tropical plants ? It is one
of the wonders of the world. It covers an acre
of ground, is 100 feet high, of oval shape and
cost $500,000. It is heated by steam and hot
water pipes, whichin all are six miles in length
The apparatus consumes 600 tons of coal in a
year. We saw banana trees 20 feet high, with
clusters of fruit, sugar cane, coffee trees, and in
short, every tropical plant. Several of the palm
trees are from 50 to 60 feet high. The smoke
of the immense fire underneath is oarrried in
pipes under ground to an outlet in the woods
The coal is brought to a tunnel 600 yards under
ground. One fountain throws a jet of water
to the lielght .of 272 feet.
JOSIAH QUINCY AND LORD LYNDHURST NURSED
BY THE SAME WOMAN.—At a meeting of the Mas
sachusetts Historical Society, on the 11th, Lord
Lyndhurst, of England, a native of Boston, was
elected an honorary member; pending which the
senior member of the society, Hon. Josiah Quin
cy, made some remarks relative to the duitin
guished nobleman. Both he and Lord Lyndhurst
were born in the same year and same town, and
indeed it is the family tradition that the same
nurse officiated on both occasions. Whether she
was a wet or dry nurse he did not know ; but
the fact that both had lived so long was in favor,
at least of the faithful performrace of duty in
both oases. He remembered meeting Lyndhurst
in his young days, when he was regarded with
great favor, and especially by the ladies. HIH
family did not leave this country because they
were tories, but because they preferred England.
Thus their paths diverged. He (Lyndhurst)
planted himself in a soil that was propituous for
the growth of lords, and so grew np to be a lord,
while he (Mr. Quincy) remained here and be
came a sovereign.
A GREAT MEDICINE FOR FEMALES.—Hundrods of
stimulants have been invented and sold, purporting
to be specific in the various diseases and derange
ments to which the delicate form of woman render
her subject. The result of all these stimulants has
been to impart momentary activity to the nervous sys
tem, and false vigor to the muscles; but this relief
has been succeeded by a depression and prostration
greater than before; and the repeated attempts of in
valids to build themselves by these false remedirs,
have finally ended iu destroying what little vit.ii or
ganization was loft. But in using "Boerhace's
/and Bitters," you wilt find no such disastrous resul:A.
It is a purely vegetable compound, prepared ( n
strictly scientific principles, after the manner of the
celebrated Holland Professor, Bmrhave. Under its
influence, every nerve and muscle receives new
strength and vigor, appetite and sleep return, and
finally, perfect health. See advertisement in another

THIRTY,,i'IrTE CONGRESS
FIRST Se.,sluN
Yesterday's Proceedings.
:_•l' \ATI
J. P. Henderson, Senator from Texas appeared and
took his seat.
A communication was presented from the Legisla
turn of Kentucky, offering a regimont of volunteers
for service in Utah.
Several memorials were also read from the Legis
ture of lowa, asking grants of land for railroad pur
poses.
Mr. King reported a bill granting a room in the
Arsenal to the State of New York. Passed.
Mr. Green called tip the Kansas bill.
Messrs. G win and Broderick objected, as the Pacific
Railroad bill had the priority.
The Kansas bill was taken up, when Mr. iireen
gave notice of a subsiiiiite for the admission of the
States of Minna eta encl. Kansas together, hoping
thereby to expedite business. lie then proceeded to
advocate the report of the committee, remarking that
the leading and controlling facts of that document
could not be successfully controverted. An attempt
had been made in the minority report to evade some
of them, but they stood unassailed. He then passed
to a personal explanation touching statements in re
gelid to the action of the committee, published in the
New York Tribune, which asserted that the mejerity
of the committee made a positive promise to Mr.
Douglas and Mr. Coßutner not to report till the sue
ceeding Monday, and subsequently violated that
agreement. Ho proceeded to show the falsity of this
statement by a detail of the facts in the case.
A discussion of some length ensued between Messrs.
(Freon and Douglas, when the former proceeded : lie
said he had a substitute fer the bill reported by the
majority of the committee, which he would offer at
the proper time. This substitute provided for the
admission of Kansas and Minnesota together, the
object being to expedite the business before the Son
ate, so that other importer:: matters might Corn up
for consideration. He then argued the legality of
the Kansas Constitution, contending that it was re
publican in form and was the legal choice of the peo
ple. The population of Kansas is sufficient to en
title her to one representative, and the Constitution
of the United States prescribes no specific number of
inhabitants. Ho referred to the unsettled state of the
Territory as a powerful and overwhelming reason fur
admission, for it would give peace and quietness to
the Territory. Ho had received information to-day
of murder by parties opposed to the Lecomption Con
stituticn, and lien. Whitfield bad boon driven from
the Territory under threats of assassination. This,
he said, was the reason of federal officers from Kan.
sas. It is useless to cry peace, when there will be
none until Kansas comes into the Union.
Mr. Collamer followed. He referred to the Mis.
souri Compromise as having settled the slavery agi
tation. Being a fair bargain, he thought it unjust
in the South, after receiving her portion of advantage,
to repudiate the compact. Who believed, he asked,
in 1854, that slavery would exist in Kansas ? It
was a well settled principle that power to regulate
implied power to prohibit, quoting instances to show
where this power had been exercised, and referring
to a case in Mississipi in 1796, in point. He de
fended the Emigrant Aid Societ'es, denying that
emigrants from the orth went to Kansas merely to
vote, without designing to stay there. He referred
to fratidulent elections, curried by interlopers from
Missouri, anti to other gross outrages into which
Government bad never examined.
Without concluding, the Senate thon adjourned
I.IOU SE OF REPIttSENTATIYES
The Speaker has appointed the following Commit
tee on the Matteson case: Messrs. Seward, of Geor
gia; Harris, Of Illino.s: Grow, of Pennsylvania ;
Curtis, of Iowa; and Bishop, of Connecticut. Mr.
Harris was excused at his own request.
Resolutions adopted Ly the Legislature of Wash
ington Territory wore read, declaring that the pro.-
clamation of martial law by Governor Stevens, was a
patriotic act, and was required to maintain peace in
the Territory.
Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, submitted a resolution,
which was adopted, calling for information as to
whether any money has been paid from the United
States Treasury, fur the year ending Juno last, fur
the expenses of the Legislature, or the alleged Leg
islature, of Kansas, and if so, under what act, and
from what fund.
Mr. Florenoe presented the petition of Marine
Underwriters of Philadelphia against the alteration
of the law establishing a light house system, which
was referred.
A discussion was had on the bill re-organizing
clerks and other employees of the House, pending
which the House adjourned.
From Washington.
WASHINGTON CITY, March I.—The position of the
Senators from Minnesota upon the Kansas question
causes much speculation. The friends of lieueral
Shields deny the assertion that he has given his
opinion in favor of the Lecompton Constitution.
They maintain that he is in perfect harmony with
Judge Douglas. This will certainly explain the con_
tinned delay of action upon the admission of Min
nesota.
Henry A. Washington, late Professor of History
in William and Mary College of Virginia, and editor
of the Jeffersonian papers, was accidentally killed
this afternoon, by the discharge of an air gun, at his
residence near this city.
The Senate, in executive session, confirmed a largo
number of appointments made during the recess.
Dr. William Jones was nominated for postmaster of
Washington, in place of Barrett, whose commission
has expired. The nomination of Mr. Cook as post
master at Chicago was warmly debated for two hours;
the discussion involved his moral integrity. The
Senate then adjourned.
Pending the questions to George Ashman before
the Tariff Investigating Committee this morning, ac
cording to all accounts, ho said that he knew nothing
whatever concerning matters about which he was in
terrogated. The Matteson Investigating Committee
on Wednesday.
Gen. Whitfield, in a letter received to-day, says
that Lane's party has served upon him notice to
quit, threatening that unless he do so to assassinilie
him. He has sent his family out of Kansas, but no
has resolved to remain. lie says that house burning
and murders are frequent ; in the county opposite St.
Joseph, Missouri, a family was driven out, and acv
oral persons were killed, and also ono in the c,unty
above.
Prominent Democrats have calculated that the
Kansas and Minnesota bills, combined, will pass the
Senate by six or eight majority, and the House by
fifteen majority.
Samuel Medary was to-day confirmed by the Sen.
ate as Postmaster at Columbus, Ohio.

From Salt Lake.
Sr. Louis, March I.—The Leader learns from
Father Desmet, a Catholic missionary, who has Pp , t
many years among the Indian tribes on either stope
of the Rocky Mountains, that there is a perfectly
practicable, easy rout- north of Salt Lake to the
British Possessions. Father Desmet has traveled
over the route several times in light wagons, and
gives it as is conviction that, if the Mormons leave
their prose& location, they will proceed' northward to
Now Caledonia, in British America, by this route,
and settle at the ' base of the Portage Mountains, near
the forty-ninth parallel. The rents is described in
detail, and the country and climate are said to be
eminently superior in every respect to that of Utah.
The Leader calls the attention of the war department
and the public to its article.

Utah correspondent states that three released Mor
mon prisoners say that the latter are preparing an
expedition to intercept Capt. Marcy on his return
from New Mexico, seize the mules and destroy the

The Washington Union and the Army
PHILADELPHIA, March I.—The Washington Union
eays the Senate of the United States have, by a very
large and decisive vote, defeated the proposition for
an increase of the United States army. The Com
manding General of he army asks for additional
troops. The Secr e tary of War concurs in the de
mand, and the President urges it upon Congress as a
matter of public necessity. The Senate say no; and
the Senate have a right to speak. The Executive
have done its whole duty, the responsibility rests
with the Senate for refusing troops to defend our
frontiers against hordes of savages known to be
under Mormon influence, and to be exhibiting symp
toms of decided and general hostility to our people.
The Senate must take, also, the responsibility of
jeopardising the campaign against the rebellious
Mormons. This, too, the Senate have a right to do
and the people have a right to knou that it assumes
the responsibility of the act.

r IIHE CHEMICAL OLIVE ERASIVE
SOAP, manufactured by B. C. & J. 11. Fauryer, re
nxvives the preference over all other kinds ever offered fer
fridly use.
Its advantages over other Soaps are It Is cheaper
to use, 0110 pound being equal to three of common rosin
Soap. 21. half the titres need only be occupied in washing
when this Soap is used In place of other Soup. 3d. Lab.,r
in wathinz, can be nearly dapensed with, as the cloth(
will require little if any rubbing, thus avoiding their wear
on the wash-board. 4th. Boiling the clothes Is unnecessary
when this Soap is used, and hard or salt water answer,
equally as well as soft. sth. Printers. Machinists, Painters
and others, Sod it far sup:rlor to other Soaps. It speedily
re
moves grease, tar, paint, printers' ink and dirt from the
hands, leaving the skin soil, and free from chapping.
To avoid the labor of rubbing the clothes, and the use of
the wash.boord, the following directions should be followed :
For the washing of eight or ten of a family, take one
pound of Soap, cut it into shavings, and dissolve in one
gallon of hot water; put the clothes into a tub containing
about ten gallons of warm water; poor in the dissolve.;
Soap, and stir thoroughly. Let them soak twenty to thirty
minutes, wring out, and rinse in warm water once, cold
water twice. A very dirty wristband, or seam, or greas.
apcis, may require a slight rubbing, but otherwise the
clothes will come out clean and white, without rubbing 0;
boiling. Cold water may ba used in place of hot, requiring
about double time in soaking.
