TRUE TO THEIR COLORS.
By reference to our telegraphic column it
will be seen that the House of Representatives,
by a singular and remarkable vote have re
solved to adhere to the House amendment on
the Kansas Bill. Mr. Montgomery, the an. ,
thor of the new Kansas Bill, made The motion
to adhere which was passed by a vote of 119
to 111. The vote by which the bill was orig
inally adopted was 120 to 112. We have
not learned who the non-voters on Thursday
were, but as there was one on each side, the
majority of eight still remains. It is probable
that a " pair off " may account for the two
lacking votes. A motion to recede from the
vote to adhere was laid on the table.
The country cannot but admire the political
nerve as well as the patriotism, which so mem
ifestly binds together the majority of the louse
of Representatives. The consciousness of rec
titude has retained every man tirm in his opin
ion and true to his vote. The nation now
looks to the Senate to put a finality upon this
question, by the prompt adoption of Mr.
Montgomery's bill. We hope and `believe
that the wisdom and patriotism l of this august
body will bring them boldly up to that action
which their country expects at their hands.
SUPPILUING IRELAND
We Invite the earnest consideration of our
readers to the eloquent appeal in behalf of the
starving inhabitants of a portion of Ireland,
which we publish in tbtsday's paper. The lecte
set forth are startling and painful to an in
tense degree, and the source from which they
ellltkatit9 precludes the possibility of doubt,
that sad as the picture of suffering is, that it is
overdrawn or misstated. The Dublin journals
endorse the statements and urge upon the
charity of the world, the pressing necessity
for immediate relief.
We have in this community a large number
wbo are either the children of Ireland or who
race their lineage immediately to its shores .
Here the sons of Ireland are all proiiperous—
many of them wealthy. They have the ability,
and surely ought to have the disposition to aid
their fellow-countrymen in this time of sore
distress. We earnestly call upon them to look
at the tote and to contribute of their substance
to aid in saving their countrymen—perhaps
their relatives—from the horrors of famine.
Will not the friends of Ireland in this city
take some organized and effective action to
raise means to fesd these starving women
and children. We hope so.
COL. J. HERON [(OSTER.
The Philadelphia Mercury comes to WI with
; _portrait of Brigham Young on one page,
amr,irt the other,a well drawn sketch of our
iadustrious and handsome albeit Black Re 4.
publican representative at Harrisburg, (Jul.
Foster. 'I he sketch is contained in a letter,
the writer of which, after giving a personal
description of Judge Nill, thus speaks of Mr
Foster.
J. Heron Foster is the very opposite of Judge
Nill in physical form. He is not above the medium
height, and very slender. His hair of a light hue
and his whiskers sandy. Hie whole face is cover
ed with a heavy suitof hair. He evidently learn
ed to wear them a in Caiifornia, from a resi
dence of some length in the " Golden State."
. He started , lifi as a practical printer, and has
succeeded is(building up for himself, in connec
tion with an enterprising partner, the most flour
ishing penny paper in the State, except the
Ledger. It has, we learn, reached an actual cir
culation of 10,000 daily. It is a spirited well
conducted, and independent sheet, with Re
publican proclivities. It has vast influence in
Western Pennsylvania. I believe it to have the
best local columns of any daily in the State,
either in or out of Philadelphia, and I, as an old
newspaper man ought to be a judge.
Foster certainly works as hard as any mem
ber in either House. He is always in hie place
—always writing at his desk, and always atten
tive to his duties. If a bill is in progress for
which he is fighting, he has always amendments
ready gotten up iu every conceivable form. So
numerous are they, and so ingeniously gotten up ;
that some of the wags the House have given him
the soubriquet of "Amendment" Foster. This
peculiar facility was manifested strongly on the
passage of-.Sunbury and Erie bill through the
House during the past week.
As a speaker, he has had •little practice. He
does not seem anxious to acquire a reputation
in that direction. He is a plain, strong talker,
however, and always expresses clearly what he
does say. lie speaks well enough to explain RI I
the measures be brings forward, and to defend
t them front, attack. He never bas spoken over
ten minutes at any one time. Ibis is a real
virtue in any public man, in this age of loquac
ity. I presume rester desires to .return, and
there is little doubt his constituents will return
him
Brie of Pig Metal
We note the sale within a day or two past
of 750 tons of Allegheny pig metal, St.
Charles Furnace, by Mr. Kerr, to different
parties at $27 on time, liFt hear of the sales
of several other, lots at $26 to $26,50 per ton;
Mr. S. Firmer, of the Clinton Furnace, sold
600 tons at $29 on time; Messrs. Reynolds dt
Kribbs, of Eagle Furnace 300 tons at 826,50
on time; Mr. Hunter, of Pike Furnace, 200
tons at $26,50 also on time; Mr. D.W. Davis,
of Rockland Furnace, 59 tons at $27 on time.
This looks as though our manufactures were
beginning to make their purchases pretty
briskly at regular prices. At these prices
`betel is in demand.

vil outworks citititB.
The New York Herald has an article upon
the necessity of a prompt decision by Con
gress, of the present Kansas difficulty,. in
which it very justly makes the removal of
the subject from Cougress the first necessity,
and makes tho precise form of the act of ad. 2
mission a secaudary consideration. It urges
the necessity of at once closing and locking
this Pandora box, and delivering over the box
and the key to the people of Kansas. In lot%
lowing up the subject, the editor urges most
wrongly upon the Senate the adoption of Mr.
Montgomery's amendment as a fair and final
adjustment of the political imbroglio which his
arisED out of this subject. The Herald says :
Our disorganizing factionists have nothing left
them to work upon but Kansas. Take that from
thorn, and their "occupation is gone "—pesos ie
restored, and parties will be re-organized upon
practical issues, in which all the heresies of dis
union will be swallowed up.
The Senate of the United States, therefore,
rising above all party punctilios, all foolish tech
nicalities, all silly quibbles, upon side issues,
should at once consent to the admission of Kan-
sas upon the Crittenden-Montgomery bill, in the
event of the irrevocable adhesion of the House
to that plan. We have shown that this bil
practically concedes everything which the admin
istration has asserted—the legality of the Le
::::APRIL 9, 1858
compton constitution, the legality of the authority
under which it was framed, and the principle
that a now State, applying for admission with a
pro-slavery constitution ratified by the popular
vote, is as much entitled to admission as a free
State. All the opposition sections, parties and
factions in Congress have been reduced to these
concessions. The principle is fixed. The exact
point for which the South has been contending
is gained, and thus, it makes no substantial dif
ference whether Kansas be admitted under this,
that or the other constitution. The great South
ern principle involved in the contest is secured,
the destiny of Kansas is established—it cannot
be changed ; and nothing, then, is wanting to
sink this exhausted agitation into oblivion but
the admission of Kansas into the Union.
Since the fusion of the three discordant oppo
sition factions of the House upon the Crittenden
Montgomery bill, the administration need not
feel any further anxiety in the matter ; and the
South, having achieved the vital point at issue,
may readily consent to put an end to the whole
controversey without further delay. Pass the
Crittenden-Montgomery bill. It is a capitulation
of the enemy, which they do not wish tobo ac
cepted. They would prefer its rejection for the
purposes of factions and sectional engineering
in the coming election for the next Congress.
But pass it and they are beaten with their own
weapons. * * * * *
Should the House adhere to their bill, let it be
be passed by the Senate. The administration
policy is vindicated therein, the great issue with
the South is therein fully recognized, and the fin
al adoption of the bill will be a substantial tri
umph over all the odds and ends of a factions
opposition—a solid triumph over the black re
publicans, a triumph over the D..uglas disorgan
izers, a triumph over those paltry hucksters, the
Southern Know Nothings, and a decisive triumph
over all the turbulent, scheming and uncrupulous
demagogues whose objects are demoralization,
disorganization, chaos and revolution : but first
of all, the overthrow of an administration which
has defied them and reduced them to surrender.
Pass the Crittenden-Montgomery bill and let
Congress proceed to business, and let us have
an end of this miserable Kansas agitation. lu
the name of common sense put an end to this
thing, au I let us go to work.
THINGS AT WASILINGTON
In a special telegraphic dispatch, to the New
York Times, we find a variety of interesting
items of information. 'the writer is assured
that there is not a particle of foundation for
the report that Commissioners are to go to
Utah to negotiate with Brigham Young."
He a'so : , ,ays that there is a rumor that Mc-
Kibben, the Navy:Agent at Philadelphia, fa
ther of the California itietuber of the House,
will be removed.
From the same source we kart' that the
Administration sustained a severe defeat
on the. Delleicieney bill, which is consider
ed essentially beaten, The War Department
are reduced to the most desperate straits there
by, there being cut a cent in the Treasury
belonging to it, while there are unpaid drafts
upon it to the amount of over four hundred
thousand dollars, with more coming in by ev
ery mail. The new regiments cannot he call .
ed out unless the money is granted.
There is a great pressure on the President
with regard to the new regiments. He deci
ded to-day against Pennsylvania, and person',
ally inclines to take Kentucky and Ohio Vol ,
natters, and to oppose the appropriations un
less they are accepted."
We regret this intimation" thatthe Pennsyl
vania regiment will not be accepted, and are
certain that a grave responsibility must rest
upon Congress, if they refuse to furnish the
supplies for the Utah army. The Proideut,
the Commander-in. Chief, and the Secretary
of War, have each urged upon Congress the
necessities of the case. The facts speak for
themselves. We learn from Western papers
that army contractors are already selling or
deli upon government at . 1.2 i per cent. dis
count. Such things are a public disgrsee,and
we hope that Congress may see the wisdom of
at once providing a remedy for the present
most unsatisfactory—not to say—dangerous
condition of our army affairs.
Miss MoKen,tia's Periodical Store
Miss Margaret McKenna has a very neat
Periodical Depot on Grant Street, directly op.
polite St. Paul's Cathedral, two or three doors
from the corner of Filth Street. Her shelves

are large numbers of citizens who desire to
obtain such works as she supplies, and they
cannot do better than to give their patronage
to Miss Margaret McKenna.

AL IA nElt CAMPBELL
The distil) , uished scholar and divine la well
known and highly esteemed in this city where
he has large number of personal friends and
klegilliiiiifille,el 4 , as well as .a considerablejtody
of Christians, whose religious belief is calms
mint with his own. It will give the in all
pleasure to read the following extract from
the Louisville Journal, which bears internal
evidence of emanating from the gifted pen of
George D. Prentiot:—ite editor:
This venerable and distinguished man is now in '
our city on business connected with his College at
Ilea Nay, recently visited, as our readers know, with a
very disastrous calamity. We are gratified to per.
ceive neither years nor trials—and his Atlanteau
shoulders support a mountainous weight of Loth--
Lave seriously impaired his bodily strength or
dimmed, much less quenched, the marvellous fire of
his spirit- In all the characteristics of manhood he
is still in the fullness of maturity. And long may
he retain this rare possession of his great power.
Alexander Campbell is unquestionably one of the
most extraordinary n en of our time. Putting wholly
out of view his tenets, with which we of course have
nothing to do, he claims, by virtue of his intrinsic
qualities, as manifested in his achievements, a place
among the very foremost spirits of the age. His
energy, self reliance and aelffidedity, if we may use
the expression, are of the stamp that belongs only to
the world's first leaders in thought or action. His
personal excellence is certainly without a stain or a
shadow. His intellect, it is scarcely toe much to say,
is among the clearest, richest, profoundest ever vouoh
saf©d to man. Indeed, it seems to us that in the fac.
ulty of abstract thinking, in, so to say, the sphere
of pure thought, he has few, if any, living rivals.
Every cal ivated person of the slightest metaphysical
turn who has hoard Alexander Campbell in the pul
pit or in the social circle must have been especially
impressed by the wonderful facility with which his
filculties move in the highest planes of thought.
Ultimate facts stand forth as boldly in his conscious
ness as sensations do in that of most other mon. He
grasps and handles the highest, subtlest, most com
prehensive principles as if they were the liveliest
impressions of the senses. No poet's soul is more
crowded with imagery than his is with the ripest .
forms of thought. Surely the life of a man thus
excellent and gifted is a part of the common treasure
of society. In his essential character, he belongs to
no sent or party, but to the world. •
We trust that the mission on which Mr. Campbell
is now among us may be entirely successful, as it
most richly deserves to be, and that, — av th the speedy
physical restoration of his institution at Bethany, he
may resume his labors, and prosecute them with un.
dimiehed vigor for long and prsful years to come
Insurance.
We 'call attention to the cards of the Mer
chants' Insurance Co., and the Great Western
Insurance Company, both of Philadelphia, of
which R. W. Poindexter, Esq., a well known
merchant of this city for many years, is now
the agent at this point. The Merchants'
Company with a capital of twoi hundred
thousand dollars shows on the last of January
assets to the amount of over $275,000, and
incomes from premiums, interest &c., of
near $221,000. Its expenditures, including
$141;000 paid for losses, show a clear profit
of near $15,000 on the last year's business.
The charter of the Great Western, is per
petual, with a capital of $500,000, $222,300
paid in, with a surplus of $55, 274. Its as
sets are in real estate stocks, bills receivable,
and cash amounting to $277,574.
Both these companies are managed by lawn
whose names, in Philadelphia, are a sufficient
guarrautee of their probity, and Mr. Poindex.
ter, has too high a character in this city to af
ford to assume the agency of any but reliable
institutions.
We believe from an examination of their
statements, that both these companies are en
titled to the confidence of the public.
A blue tearui.
We call attention to the advertisement of a
fine farm for sale iu this morning's, paper. It
is an excellent piece of land, slid having come
into the poosession of its present owner, Zas
dok Street, unexpectedly, he will dispose of
it at a low price and on easy terms of pay
ment. The laud lies five miles from Salem,
Columbiana Co., Ohio, and is insight of the
Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chreago Rail
road. It is altogether a very desirable tam,
and immediate possession will tie given to the
purchaser.
The Pleat of Sunllea Ships at Sevastopol
We find the following in the Philadelphia
Ledger:
Wo regret to learn, as we do through the late
news from Europe, of the entire failure of the
expedition fitted out mainly from this city under
a charter granted by the legislature of this State,
at its last session, to raise the sunken Rug - Alin
fleet in the harbor 'of Sebastopol. The attempt
it seems has been a tottn failure—not a vessel has
been recovered, and the force of shipping engaged
in the attempt has been withdrawh and offered
for sale. The difficulty seems to have arisen
from the perfect riddling of the ships by the
worms, rendering them so porous that the water
flowed in almost as fast as it was pumped out.
In addition to this difficulty, which the enter
prising companies having the undertaking in
charge endeavored to overcome by caulking, the
vessels had sunk from four to six fathoms in the
mud. ° The efforts to blow them to pieces were
equally unsuccessful. As much as 6000 pounds
of powder was tried with a two decker, but, as
the rotten timber had too little power for resist
ance, the result was that the weakest points gave
way, and the explosion tore out a small part in
the side of the vessel, leaving the rest altogether
untouched. The interests of the Philadelphia
stockholders in the enterprise is represented by
Dr. Wickersham, of this city, from whom we
shall probably soon have information more in
detail, though the newspaper accounts are quite
definite as to the utter failure of the attempt,
which we had hoped would have resulted in suc
cess, and in the placing of an additional plume
in the cap of American enterprise. Against
all known difficulties in the business, the prepara
tions made by the company, it seems, were fully
adequate. It was the hidden enemy—the little
worm—that frustrated the whole enterprise;
another evidence that

THIRTY•E'IFTH CONGRESS
FIRST SESSION
Yesterday's Proceedings.
A dissuasive debate took place on the expenso'at
tending the printing of picture books in connection
with exploring expeditions, Lieut. Emory's being
especially under discussion.
Mr. Johnston, of Arkansas, and Mr. Brown, of
Mississippi, repudiated the practice of Congress in
paying immense sums for the publication of zoologi
cal and botanical spesiemens, etc.
Mr. Bright, of Indiana, defended Liout. Emory
as having brought back a hundred thousand
dollars from the appropriation for his survey. Ile
also contradicted the opinion that these scientific
works aro useless; on tho contrary, they are regarded
as authority, end several have been reprinted in Eng
land and elsewhere.
Mr. Fossenden, of Maine, urged that Congress
should not order the publication of any work until all
the manuscript has been prepared; the works are
certainly valuable, but judicious rather than ituudi
'dons expenditure is what is required. Pe asked the
Senators individually nut to encourage printing fur
personarfriendship.
The discussion relative to the public printing was
terminated by Mr. Johnston, of Arkansas, moving au
amendment to the bill approved August, 1852, and
setting apart Thursday next fur its discussion, saying
that if the amended bill is passed, it will pat a stop
to the abuses so justly complained of.
Mr. (Twin, of Califo t rnia, reported a bill fur the eon
veyance of mails, trbops and stores from tbo Mis
Hone river to California by a railroad, and recapitu
lated the provisions of each section, urging imam
diate action. Ho quoted the statistics of the various,
routes, adding that the contractors woniii loedtti e

The Diplomatic any Consular Appropriation b
was passed, with verbal amendments. •
The Naval Restoration bill was also passed.
Mr. Douglas reported, from the Committee on
Territories, the Arizoniie Admission bill, with an
amendment.
Mr. Slidell, on the Senate taking up, by consent,
the resolution proposing to bestow a medal on Cons.
Paulding, Wade it the text for reading -a carefully
prepared speech, having a disguised, yet palpable,
bearing on the future of Central America and Cuba.
Tho general scope of his remarks was against private
and in favor of national filibustering. He made
some telling points in his speech. Medals, ho said,
were usually given for gallant services, but tho.e was
nothing gallant or judicious in Corn. Paulding's ex
ploit. He reviewed minutely the events in Uen.
Walker's career, passing from the Sonora fracas to
that of Nicaragua, where, through tho farce of a pop
ular election, supported by the bayonet, he obtained
the power and had an opportunity to exhibit his
statesmanship; yet his administration was a succes
sion of acts of rapine and bloodshed. The earliest
act was to confiscate the property of the Affierican
Transit Company and others, and its partition among
hie followers; and since that'he has been bolstered
up by the persons who want to support their titles to
the spoils. Gen. Walker's men claim for him no
other attribute than that of personal bravery, the at
tribute of all our people. To the higher qualities of
soldier and for statesmanship, he had many who
were his superiors. In times of difficulty and danger
all looked to Henningsen, who became the bead, and
Gen. Walker but the hand. Cora. Paulding was
wrong to act as he did; Gen. Walker had but 150
men, who were under the guns of the fleet; his
supplies were cut off. The Nicaraguans would not
have assisted him. The Nicaraguans did not apply
to Corn. Paulding, although they had time to do so,
showing that the meant to deal with Walker them
selves. Gen. Walker, in a short time, would have
boon glad to seek the protection of the flag ho had
renounced, and had he returned to the United States
he would not have excited a false sympathy, ndr .
'
would have wandered about railing at the Adminis
tration, bat would have finally settled down!Ao an
honest living. No sooner had he set foot on liiii na
tive land than he sets on foot new machinations, as
Burning the character of an injured man. 'Mr. Slidell
quoted Gen. Walker's letter to the Secretary of the
Interior, and also other authorities, to show that the
steamer Fashion might have been seized at sea and
conveyed to Mobile. Mr. Slidell said that he might
incur reproach for this course from persons sympa
thizing with Walker's projects, but duty demanded
the statement. He spoke only of Gen. Walker since
he undertook the regeneration of Central America,
for he understood that he was personally of good
education, fair intelligence and gentlenianly habits
Mr. Slidell proceeded to glance at instances of na
tional filibustering, instancing the Spanish Carnet
war, when Gen. De Lacy Evans and other English
officers and Parliament men commanded the British
legion ; the Portuguese Civil war, and the Greek war
of Independence.. The pith of his speech was in the
conclusion. Although he admitted it was a danger
ous power, he would confer on the President the
1 privilege of suspending the neutrality laws during
I the recess of Congress. The Cubans,
although mostly
favorable to peaceful annexation, aril not prepared to
incur the risks of civil war. To accomplish it, troth
ing therefore could be done there at present, except
by negotiation; bat if Spain attempts to impose the
despotism of Santa Anna on Mexico, it might be
come the duty of the. United States to intervene.
These IMO his own opinions, without consultation
with any member of the Administration.
The speech, though highly interesting, was bat
imperfectly heard by the reporters, owing to the noise
in the galleries,
The Senate adjourned.

WASHIHGTOIi CITY, April B.—Enough is known to
warrant the assertion that Governor Powell and
Major M'Cullough, the Peace Commissioners to
Utah, will be instructed to assure the Mormons that
it is not the desire of the President and the United
States authorities to make war upon them, but to se
cure the enforcement of Federal lass, to whioh end
they will be counselled to participate. The Commis
sioners will also inform them that some troops will be
retained in the Territory to protect emigrants to the
Pacific from the attacks of hostile Indians. The
Commissioners will go with the next reinforcements
despatched to Utah",
This forenoon a An named Peter Besancon, for.
merly of Louisiana, had violent words with the Sea
rotary of the Interior in the hall department. When
the former struck or attempted to strike the Secretary,
the latter turned and discovered Besancon drawing a
pistol on him. Thompson then seized and threw him
upon the floor, dislocating and fracturing Besancon's
arm. It is believed that Besancon, who is well known
here, was refused an office by Thompson, which, with
pecuniary embarrassments, had temporarily debili
tated his mental faculties, Besancon had been sev
eral years in the Government employ at Washington,
and was looked upon with respect by all who knew
him.
The Ladies Association formally entered into a
contract on the 6th inst. for the purchase of Mount
Vernon.
Great Freshet at the South.
Sr. Loots, April B.—Accounts from below state
that much damage has bean done by the high waters
in the Mississippi and Arkansas. From the mouth
White river to the Louisiana line, but few places will
escape being submerged. Whole cotton plantations
are now under water. The town of Napoleon is
completely inundated to a depth of from two to ten
feet. The south side of Arkansas river has over.
flowed, causing immense destruction of property.
The north side is comparatively safe. The river is
fallitg now, but the back water from the Mississippi
extends eighty miles from the mouth. The levees
on the east side of the Mississippi have not given
way yet. The water at Napoldbn is ten ladies higher
than the flood mark of 1854.
From Kansas,
ST. Louts, April B.—The Leavenworth correspondent
of the Republican says, the Constitutional Conven-
tion adjourned on the :1.1 inst. Negroes are allowed
t. , vote on the Constitution, and at the first general
election thereafter a vote is to be bad on the question
of universal suffrage. Foreigners having declared
their intentions are also allowed to vote. The ques.
tion of negro suffrage has caused a good deal of ex
citement and angry discussion, and several counties
signed the Constitution under protest.
