the world like a hurricane is over and gone,
and the commercial atmosphere has been pnst

the consumption of the idle time. There is

I,OUIS NAPOLEOni.
I it is said that " whom the gods wish to
destroy they first make mad," and it certainly
seems as if the present Emperor of the
'French, had one stark aiad. With the light
of history and example before him, he seems
to be pursuing the same course of policy
'which led to the downfall of hi Corsican an
castor to whose counsels he refers and whos e
example he professes to imitate. He seems
to have forgotten that individual liberty has
become a necessity to the intellect of France,
and. has set himself against the current of
popular opinion, and is endeavoring by mili.
tart' force and suppresive legislation, to crush
out individual freedom of opinion and action
in the Empire. The press be has silenced—
expression of private opinion is made dan
gerous, and in every possible manner he is
becoming a tyrant. If we may judge from
the analogies of the different periods of the
history of France, the Emperor instead of
strengthening himself, is creating a feeling of
resistance which ere long will sweep him away
from the head of the State without waiting
for the assassin's dagger.
MONEY MATTERS
The weekly statement of averages of the"
Philadelphia banks for the past week - presents
the somewhat anomalous condition of an in
crease in every item. In some instances the
increase is small, bat still all the items are lar
ger. The statement is, however, one indicati.
ing increased strength without any material in
crease of business. The loans show an in
crease of $51,770. The item of specie has
increased over $300,000, and that due from
other banks $331,687. These three items of
resources aggregate $684,356. These three
items of liabilities have increased as follows :
due to banks, $55,956; deposits, $438,265„ and
circulation $161,615; in all 655,836, being 828,-
520 less than the increase of resources for the
week. The notes of the hank of Pennsylva
nia are selling in Philadelphia at 45 to 48 per
(Ant of their face. This indicates a rather
more unfavorable result in winding up the
affairs of this institution than was generall y
expected.
The last California steamer brought $1,300
000 in specie.
The Erie Railroad Company is paying

A NATIONAL SAVING.
In February, 1857, the value of foreign
goods imported into New York was $25,000 ,-
000. In February, 1858, it was but 89,000,-.
000, being a reduction of almost two-thirds.
In February, 1856, it was $16,000,000. The
amount of importations for the present year
is smaller than in any year since 1850. It is
in articles of luxury and dry goods, which
can very well be dispensed with, that the fall
ing off has taken place. Our national bill of
credit for 1858 will be mainly for necessities,
and the consequence will be a large balance
of trade in our favor, which will go to pay off
previous indebtedness, and place us in a sound
and healthy financial condition. The happi
est results may be anticipated from this
large item of national saving. Economy of
this kind is better for the country than high
tariffs.
Mee credit of oar county Banks is still ap
preciating in the East. Oa Monday a bond
for $lOOO issued to the Gonnellsville Railroad
was sold iu Philadelphia at 54. This is an in
crease of nearly twenty per cent within a
few weeks.

vessel, the Ocean Monarch, and comprised 6,9UU

TEXAS ITEMS
N one can doubt that Texas is destined to
be a great State. The richness of the soil, the
of the climate, and the immense
natural resources with which the country
abounds, are the true elements of wealth.
There is a kind of sand on the San Jacinto
River, which is suitable for manufacturing
There are now upwards of twenty-one thou
sand bales of cotton in Galveston, which is
about eighteen thousand bales more than last
year at this time. This large amount of cot%
ton, beyond what was ever before on hand st
any one time, is attributable to the . instruc
tions of planters to their factors to hold on in
expectation of an advance in price.
The Legislature, after a session of fifteen
weeks, had adjourned. Thirty•six new corm,.
ties were created, chiefly along the head wa
ters of the Colorado and Bur zos, 'and along the
Big Willica and Red Rivers. These, in addi
tion to the one hundred and sixteen old coun
ties; make asum total of one hundred and fif
ty-two counties, being a third more in num
ber than in any other State in the Union.
Same idea of the growth of the State may
be formed from the report of the Land Com
missioner, where it appears that during the
last five years no less than six million six
hundred and fifty thousand acres, or more
than ten thousand square miles of the pub.
lie domain, have been appropriated by patent
or otherwise. And "still there is room," for
there are more than one hundred millions of
acres of public domain in Texas yet unapprot,
priated.
VARIOUS THIARS•
isieurly one-half of Western New Yuck ie
held by the ONN iler9. under what is termed the
Holland patent. A , nit has lately been institut
ed to I eeluVer a considerable portion of the lands
of the Holland Company, the authority of one
of its agents to dispose of them being disputed.
The prosecution is conducted nominally in behal
of two children, residing, we, believe,in England,
but we understand that, among other prominent
parties, the Bank of England is interested in the
matter. A gentleman of Buffalo is the nominal
defendant Able counsel are engaged on both
sides.
—The statistics show a large falling oil in the
shipment of railroad iron from Great Briii,ll to
the United States in the last three months of 1857,
as compared with those of 1856. The total for
October, November, and December, of 1856,
amounted to 21,479 tons, while iu the same months
of 1857 the aggregate was only 6,400 tons, a de-
ficiency of 19,070.
—lt is stated iu the New Orleans Crescent that
the sugar crop of Louisiana for 1857 will be from
225,000 to 250,000 hogsheads, against about 75,-
000 hogshead in 1856. Prices are of cour , ,e
much lower than last year•; but nevertheless
planters will realize about $1,000,000 mote
from the crop of this season than from that f
1855, while consumers will also gain largely.
—Professor Daniels gives the result of an ex
amination of the coal fields of Northern Illinois,
made for the purpose of ascertaining their avail
ability in working the iron mines of Wisconsin.
He says that the coal district at La Salle, on the
Illinois river, is from twelve to eighteen miles in
diameter, and contains not lees than 160,000,-
000 tons of coal. The deposit consists of three
seams, one seven feet, one five feet, and one three
to four feet thick. The mineral resources of
the North. west are indeed astonishing.
—Rev. Francis P. McFarland was on Sunday
last consecrated as the Roman Catholic Bishop
of Hartford, the diocese comprising the States of
Connecticut and Rhode Island. This was the
first consecration of a Catholic Bishop in the
State, and the occasion was one of unusual pomp
and ceremony.
—The Western ldototv,opathie, College, et

which they are furnished with winter supplies
and located upon a reservation, to undergo the
process of civilization. Having received their
winter supplies at the Upper Agency, above Fort
Belknap, some six hundred of them have abscond

—A letter from Kansas City, Mc , to the St.
Louis Democrat, says that that place has now
five thousand inhabitants, having gained about
four thousand (mostly free State people) within
the past year.
—On Wednesday last, Thomas G. Price, one of
the editors and publishers of the Woman's Advo
cate, issued at Minersvllle, Schuylkill county,
was convicted of a libel on David P. Brown and
Claude White, coal operators of that region, and
sentenced to pay a fine of 6 cents, the costs of
prosecution, and undergo an imprisonment in the
county prison of four calendar months.
—Over two-thirds of the hand loom, carpet,

bean out of employment for months past.
—Gov. Packer has pardoned Thomas Berry,
formerly of Greensburg, who, together with a
number of others, was convicted at Carlisle, in
November, 1856, of riot, and sentenced to two
years and nine months imprisonment in the Bast-
ern Penitentiary.
—Advices Iron Tampa Bay state that Billy
Bowlegs' negro had come in, and says that the
Indians are willing to emigrate. Billy has

COLORED ADVRNTURR.—A Florida paper tells
us of a negro who was thrown from his horse,
and whose bead struck the leg of Capt. Park
hill's horse as he fell, and broke it. The head
then glanced and struck a tree on the side of the
road, peeling off the bark for several feet. The
negro was slightly stapified for an instant, but
received . no- , injury. He is supposed to be a hard
shell.

This demonstrates that the expenditures are
not only increasing, but that the receipts are de
creasing, a rate that will in a few years reduce
the revenues derived from the public works to a
point known to geometticians as infinity, and in
Yankee Land as " the little end of nothing."
It is a subject for serious consideration, from the
data above furnished, whether a few years the
State Canals will net have became so unproduc
tive that it will be found impossible to sell or
even give them away, if accompanied by a re
quirement to keep them open.
The history of public works of this character
shows that as a source of income they cannot be
relied on ; that by the compotion of railways
they deteriorate in value; and that in the great
improvement being made each year in modes cf
transportation; it is not improbable they will
sooner or later become comparatively valueless.
For seven years past the tolls in the New York
and Erie:Canal have steadily decreased, until now
they produce scarcely half the sum they did iu
1851, notwithstanding seven or eight millions of
dollars have been expended on their enlargement
iu that time. Those belonging to the great State
ut Ohio, hardly pay the cost of keeping them iu
erder, and from the figures given above it will be
seen that those belonging to Pennsylvania are
following fast in the came direction.
The.bill of the Committee on Ways and Means,
provides that the Governor shall deliver the State
bonds that are authorized to he issued by the
Company, " pari possu with the progress of the
work as ascertained by the returns and esti
mates of the Engineers " In shorbone of the
main objects in the hill, is to secure competition
of the Sunbury and Erie Railroad Now, thie
will be if not in onsiderable advantage to us, as
well ae'of the utmost imp trtance to a regiun of
country that heretofore has had no material aid
from the State to assist lb its development. It
is intimated in the Report of the Committee by
comparison with other legions through which
railroads have been built—that in ten years
after its construction, the revenue derived from
the increased value of real estate, would neatly
equal the interest upon the bonds given by tb,•
Company, so that in fact the State would get five
per cent. on seven millions. This is an impor
tant consideration.
If ever the Allegheny Valley Railroad is eom
pleted, it will only be through the completion of
the Sunbury and Erie ; and then we will have
a route to Philadelphia with grades at no time
exceeding twenty-six feet per mile, as well as
the shortest and quickest routes to New York
that can be laid out. When the Sunbury and
Erie is finished to Winslow, there will only be
link of seveuty•five miles of the Allegheny Val
ley to finish, to make a new and complete chain
of railroad, connecting the Commercial with
the Manufacturing metropolis of this Union
This is a consummation most devoutly to be wished
If the sale o f the State canals, for $3,500,0u0,
will bring about this, we believe the good ac
complished would overbalance any euppoeubl •
evil that might ensue.
Reat Estate.
In New York City real estate is appreciating
as an investment for money, Cautious capi
talists begin to be shy of the stock market,
and in looking around for safer investments,
"vacant lots" and "eligible sites" begin to at
tract attention. The withdrawal of capital
from unsafe speculations will cause a healthy
increase in the value of real estate in all parts
of the country. In Pittsburgh, where real
estate has been for some y-ars a "drug in the
arket," eligible lots are beginning to be en
quired after as a means of investment, and
those who have•property to dispose of will do
well to make the fact known, by advertises
merits in the public papers.
A Bun FlGURE—Spurgeon Outdone.—The
Clarksburg (Vu,) Register furnishes the fol.
lowing, as a specimen of strong language from
the pulpit. The Rev. Samuel Clawson, a
minister of the M. P. Church, who is very
eccentric, and has a very vivid imagination, in
speaking of one present during one of his dis
courses who was a Universalist, gave an ex
pression to the following hit of eloquence ;
" Thank God, the day is not far distant when
you will be chained down to Hell's brazen floor,
and the Devil, with his three-pronged harpoon,
will pierce your reeking heart, and pile the red
hot cinders of black damnation upon you as high
as the pyramids of Egypt, and fry out the pride
of your fat to grease the gudgeons of hell."
111aJors & Russel's; Utah Supplies
A late St. Joseph paper states that on Thar--
day, the 4th, Mr. Majurs of the firm of Oiujore
& Russel, passed through that city, and informed
the citizens that he bad selected Nebraska City,
N. T., as the point from which he has determined
to start his train fur the transportation of gov
ernment freight. to Utah.
He says that this firm will start from that
point from eight hundred to one thousand wagons.
They will require from six to eight thousand
yoke of oxen, and will engage the services of
about twelve hundred men, for which they will
pay twenty-five dollars per month, out and
back.
The price which he proposes to give for oxen
is seventy-five dollars per yoke, which in view of
the present state of the money market, is cer
tainly a fair remuneration. They will require
the stock to be delivered at Nebraska City, of
the time of which doe notice will be given through
agents or the press It is probable that Messrs.
Majors & Russel will ask sixty, ninety, and one
hundred and twenty days on their purchase of
stock.
The trains will commence moving at the earli
est practicable moment, certainly not later than
he Ist of April.
THE SEA SERPENT.—Captain Harrington,
the English ship Castilian, who reported having
seen a sea serpent while on the passage from
Bombay to Liverpool, is out with a letter re-af
firming his belief in the genuineness of the ma
rive monster which be saw, the sea-weed story
to the contrary notwithstanding. He says:
"Notwithstanding ;the assertions of men of sci
ence to the contrary,l am now sure that such ani
male exist. I couldno more be deceived than (as
a seaman)! could mistake a porpoise for a wha.e.
If it had been at a great distance, it would
have been different; but it was not above twenty

THIRTY-eIPTH CONGRESS
FIRST SIISSIO:s:
Yesterday's Proceedings.
SEN 4TE
Mr. Crittenden spoke on the Kansas bill. He re
ferred to the right of the people to govern themselves l i
as a great principle, and applicable to the present
circumstances. The President, he said, has recom
mended, with unusual earnestness, the admission of
Kansas under the Lecotnptou Constitution. It was
a question in his mind only of facts, whether the
Lecompton Constitution comes with such authority
and sanction as to oblige us to recognize it as the
Constitution of Kansas. Ile thought it did not.
The evidence of Gov. Walker and Mr. Stanton show
that it is against the will of an overwhelming ma
jority of the people.
Mr. Crittenden recapitulated the statements of va
rious frauds at the elections, and then examined the
legality of the Lecompton Constitution, declaring
that it was nut the Constitution of the people of
Kansas, but only of the Convention which framed
it. The vote of ten thousand on the fourth of Jan
uary shows that it is not the Constitution of the
people. They tell you that it is particularly obnox
ious to them, because tainted with fraud; it is one
of a series of frauds instigated for the purpose of
getting and keeping possession of the government
of Kansas from the first election carried by armed
invaders from Missouri down to the present day.
Hence he concluded that to impose it on Kansas
would be a plain and palpable violation of the rights
of t e people to govern themselves; but, continued
Mr. Crittenden, Lecompton carries on its face evi
dence of corruption. Those who framed it knew it
contained provisiaas that the Free Ettate men could
nut assent to; therefore none were allowed to vote
unless sworn to support its slavery provisions, and
all the six thousand yews shown in favor of it wore
put in with the t iew of exhibiting a suitable major
ity, and in order not to make tho fraud too monstrous.
They went just beyond the line, the fraudulent in
tent was opponent throughout, and how ho asked,
can gentlemen ignore these frauds in the face of in
ternal evidence and concurrent testimony. The peo •
pie at Kansas say that it is not their constitution and
they ask us to send it back to be submitted to a vote
of the people. Can wo, he ested, refuse such request?
Can the Senators turn from such evidence to legal
technicalities and presumptions of laws. They ought
to look to truth and principle without searching f, r
presumptions and precedents. Holding the principle&
he said he could not put his hand to the admission
of Kansas under the Lecompton Consiitution. Mr.
Crittenden then asked What can the truth gain by
the admission for Kansas under that Constitution.
No Senator believes that she can be a Islay& state.
The laws of climate and geography forbid it Ic
support of this view he quoted the sentiments
of several member of Congress including, Mr. Keitt,
Mr. Hammued—Did Mr. Keitt say so ?
Mr. Crittenden—lt was so reported.
Hammond—Mr. Keitt quoted a passage to that
effect, but did not endorse it.
Mr. Crittenden resumed, contending that a majori
ty of the people of Kansas should be allowed to
make such Constitution as they please ; that, he
said, is the great _American principle ; that is the
principle of the South itself. He then spoke dis
cursively on various topics. He was, he said, aos
cording to terms new used, a Southern Democrat;
ho had lived all his life in a Southern climate, and
was ready to defend his rights there, but the same
resolute spirit in which he would defend his own
rights ho would defend the rights of others. He re
pealed that he did not believe that Kansas could be
a slave State. The South was deceived in that re
spect. Referring to the Missouri Compromise, he
said it would have been better to let it stand. The
South could gain nothing by it, nor the North, hut it
was hallowed as a bond of Union.
lIOUSE OF REPRtSENTATIVES
The Utah memorial was ordered to be printed
Mr. Quitman appealed to the House to take up the
Army bill and debate upon it until it was disposed of,
which he supposed would be to•morrow.
Mr. Pendleton advocated an increase in the regular
army, stating its necessity if we expect the Executive
to perform efficiently the duties invested in him by
the Constitution.
Senator Crittenden's speech in the Senate is cre
ating a sensation. The ball of the House is nearly
empty, and all the Republican seats are vacant.
Mr. Pendleton spoke forcibly of the necessity of
defending our extensive possessions against the In
dians, some of whom are enlisted to war by the Mor
mons, who are themselves in rebellion. Incidental
to the present necessity, Mr. Pendleton referred to
the future, when these possessions will be largely ex
tended by the acquisitions of Cuba, Central America,
Mexico, .4e. He thought it was the deity of the gov
ernment to demand peremptorily from Spain inJem•
nity for the past, and security for the future, and for
failure to give it, to take Cuba. The other countries
alluded to would all come in good time.
Mr. Humphrey Marshall replied to Messrs. Faulk
ner and Pendleton, complimenting the regular army
for its bravery, and chivalry, and sense of honor, but
favoring the employment of volunteers in the present
emergency as the most ready and efficient force. Re
cruiting for regulars, he said, was a slow process,
while five regiments of volunteers are now ready for
service, and can march to-morrow.
Mr. Bingham was opposed both to the aujority
bill for volunteers, and to Mr. Faulkner's substitute
for additional regulars as at present advised, and
would vote against the proposed increase either of
volunteers or regulars, for he did not believe that the
condition of affairs in Utah, Texas, or any where
else, required it. The Mormons were told by the
Democratic party that they might regulate their do
mestic institutions in their own way, and they estab
lished polygamy. He wanted Congress to start in
the right direction ' • let them first pass a law prohib
iting polygamy in future, and let all peaceful reme
dies be first exhausted before resorting to the arbi
traments of the sword. If these fail, then resort to
the conflict of arms:" He thought that under present
circumstances, the House would be more within its
line of duty in preferring articles of impos Amer t
against the President for high crimes and misde
meanors, than voting for five regiments to put ender
his cc.tritrol during the recess of Congress.
Mr. Bryan advocated volunteers for the frontiers
of Texas, the regulars of that State having been
ordered to Utah. Ho showed the necessity for
prompt action.
Mr. Giddings sold a few words in defence of the
Indians, who, he contended, would not injure the
whites if the whites did not molest them.
Mr. Farnesworth proposed an amendment that so
much of the bill as provides for a mounted force in
Texas shall not be pat into effect in ease she shall
secede from or maintain a hostile attitude toward the
Union.
The House adjourned.
