These new states of the Western World

S.l.m.ietli!ng like two years and a half ago,
Wm. S. Haven, Jr., son of Mr. Haven, the
printer '
of this city, left his home and went to
sea. For some time it has been supposed
that nc had met a watery grave, and within a
day or two his parents have ascertained the
painful certainty of his death. He was lost
in th,t ();--0-t;i, near the Sandwich Is
lands, about two years ago. At the time of
his death, he was about eighteen years of
age.
The Gloss r - . 1 the War In
The fall of Luck - now, announced I,y the
Canada, may be considered as the close of the
Indian rebellion. Hardly ten months have
elapsed since the first outbreak at Meerut,
and yet, though the scene of war was thous
ands of miles from England, sufficient troops
have been ponied into the East to reduce,
within that period, the most. formidable revolt
which Great. Britain nas ever had to encoun
ter. For this she has to thank the material
improvemants of modern times Even a cen
tury ago, it would have been impossible to
send reinforcements to India to act so
promptly, the consequence of which delay
would have been a protracted war, and the
incurring of an enormous debt, if not the loss
of that wealthy empire. It is the telegraph,
ocean steamers, and clipper ships, that have
'saved India to Britain . Alexander the great,
with his Macedonian Phalanx, or Napoleon,
with his Old Guard, would have lo?.t, Hindoost
tan, without tl . ese discoveries of modern civ
ilization. Even in war, therefore, ;fiz.. man of
peace, the man with the ir.vcn tiv, 1,1 aiu, wins.

One of the most remarkable men of the pres
ent day, in Pennsylvania, is the venerable and
distinguished Senator from Pittsburgh, Hon. W
Wilkins His head is whitened with the snow
of eighty winters, and yet bis heart is as warm,
his mind as sprightly, and his spirits as buoyant
as if his youth were just ripening into manhood
in the social 4ircle he charms by the wit and
wisdom of his conversation, and in the Senate
chamber he enchains attention by his graceful
oratory and his powerful argumentation. We
have recently, on two occasions, had the good
fortune to hear him address the Senate—first
upon the. bill to consolidate the Supreme Court
at Harrisburg, which be opposed, and next up
on the bill to sell the State Canals to the Sun
bury and - Erie Railroad Company, which he ad
vocated. His speech off the Court bill was a
rich, mellow toned picture of the dal 1 •-:
abounding in delightful reminiscenees of those
early days when our jurists and our "old Mo
nongahela" were purer than they are now. His
speech ou the bill,to sell the State Canals, and
is support of hie amendment requiring the Sun
bury and Erie Company, after their road shall
be completed to Ridgeway, to subscribe half a
million dollars to the Allegheny Valley Rail
road, was a strong argument in behalf of both
propositions. We believe tthe term of Judge
Wilkins expires with this session. If he would
consent to serve again, his constituents would d
well to elect him, for they can send no man in
his place who can do half as much for them as
can be done by him.— Valk/ Spirit.

THE BOMBSHELIS OP SEBASTOPOL STILL EX -
PLoDISG— EIGHT MEN KILLED — A corresp6n.
\ient of the Boston Tr anscrept, writing fromSe•
bastopol, March 1, says
—The bombshells strewn about the city during
the siege are still doing the work of death. No
less than eight deaths, 1. think, have been caused
by explosions of these missives since my arrival,
hardly a year since. Only a few days ago, two
seamen belonging to the English steamer 'Bay
rout.' came on shore near our shipyard. and for
a few minutes were:conversing with Mr. Gower. •
They then started for a walk to the Redan. I i
quite near our residence, and on reaching the
breastwork, one of them picked up 9.n exploded
detonating shell, intending to keep it as"a relle,
hut finding it rather heavy, threw it doviu,whon
it instantly exploded and killed him, almost sev
ering the head from the body, and completely
cutting off his right leg t tre remains were car
ried to our yard, whence iLdy were buried. His
companion escaped with a slight scratch upon
the lip On the following day two Russians were
killed in a similar manner, while picking out
the stopper of a shell. The lock by which the
oenoussbin ignited the powder of the shell is a
curious atiair. being a small equilateral cross,
with a capsule at each point, and four little ham
mere held by a human hair A sudden jar breaks
the hair, causing the h tin er to strike the cap.
which explodes. After the shells are oharge,,,i,
the looks are encloaed in a copper tube and in
sorted within the hole of the shed, upon which a
plug
. is placed. Tile sheik thus prepared, are
placed in a box of the size of an ordinary earn
nometer box, which, for safety, must be handled
'this side up, with care."'
THE COW-FISH OF SOLJTH ADIEMIOA.—One day ;
the fisherman brought as a fine -Nix') hoi," or
cow fish, a species of manatus, which inhabits
the Amazon, and is particularly abundant in the
lakes in this part of the river. It was a female
about six feet long, and about five in circumfer
ence id the thicllest part. The body is perfectly
smooth, and without any projections or incqual
itie3, gradually changing into a horizontal Semi
circular fiat tail, with no appearance, whatever,
of hind limbs. There is no distinct neck; the
head is not very large, and is terminated by a
large mouth and fleshy lips, somewhat resem
bling those of a cow. There are still bristles on
the lips, and a few distantly scattered hairs over
the body. Behind the head aro two powerful
oval fins, and just beneath them are the breasts,
from which, on pressure being applied, flows a
stream of beautiful white milk. The ears are
minute holes, and,the eyes are - very small. The
color is a dusky lead, with some large pinkish
white marbled blotches on ihe belly. The skin
is about ma inch thick on the bark, and cf,
quarter of an ;not' on the belly. Beneath the
skin is a layer of fat Of e; greatee or less thick:
ness, generally about an inch. which Is Iboiled
down to make an oil used for light and for cook
ing The intestines ars very volnminous, , the
heart about the size uf a sheep's, and the tangs
about two feet long, and six or seven inches wide,
very cellular and spongy, and can be blown out ;
like a bladder. The sknel is large and
with no front teeth ; the vertebrte extendS te,fhe
very tip of the tail, but 'shows no rudime..ts of
posterior limbs ; the fore limbs, on the contrary,
are very highly develoved, the bones exactly cor
responding to those of the human arm, having
even the five fingers, with every joint distinct,
yet inclosed in a stiff inflexible skin, where not a
joint can have any motion.
The pow-fish feeds on grass at the borders of
the rivers and lakes, and swims quickly with
the tail and paddies ; and though the external
organs cf sight and hearing are so imperfect,
these senses are said by the hunterg to bo re
markably acute, and to render necessary all their
.callitinni-antLetkilt to capture the animals. TheY
bring forth one. or rarely two, young ones,
-- witiCh -they clasp iutheir_artris or•paddlos while
giving snot-. They are harroned, or oaucht in
a strong net, at th - e - ItarroW intrancs - :ra Like
or stream, and are killed by driving a wooden
plug with a mallet up their nostrils. Each yields
11,1,1V.r'f. to twenty five gallons of oil. The
tiosh is very good, being something between beef
and pork, and this ono furnished us with several
meals, and was an Figreecble cbango from our
fish diet.— Travels en tie Amazon.

" Procure some finely-grated horse castor, and
oils of cumin and rhodium, and keep the three

the oil of cumin upon your hard, and approach
the horse on the windward side, so that he can
smell the odor of the cumin. The horse will
then suffer you to approach-him without any
trouble. Immediately rub your hand gently
on the horse's nose, getting a little of the oil on
it, and you can lead him anywhere. Give him a
little of the castor on any substance for which
he has a taste, and in the most suitable manner
manage to get eight drops of the oil of rhodium
upon his tongue, and he will of once become
obedient to the most exacting commands with
which horses are capable of complying with.

THIRTY-FIFTH CONGRESS
FIRST SESSION
Yesterday's Proceedings
SiNATE
The special order of the Conference Committee re
port came up.
Mr Crittenden took the floor. He said that the
offer made by the Committee of Conference, in the
,mbstitute presented, is merely equivalent to a bribe
of the publie lands to accept the Lecompton Consti•
lotion. lie went on to soy that the Conference sub
stitute is a poor, maimed and imperfect affair for the
bill adopted by the House.
Mr. Crittenden, after defining his position for ad
hering to his amended bill adopted by the House, in
preference to the Conference substitute now offered,
invited the Senate impartially to do justice witty
ant recrimination and without sectional prejudices.
it ferring to the geographical position of Kentucky,
ha pointed out her interests as peculiarly in favor of
the maintenance of the Union and of the preserva
tion of cordiality among all sections. He concluded
with an c,trneYt appeal to all parties and sections to
respect the magnificent proportions and destiny of
this union, which already is recognized as among
the great power 6, hut will soon be recognized as the
greatest if we a, -, )id sectional strife and petty causes
of divisi,m.
Mr. Crittenden was heard with attention by a
crowded house.
Mr. Hunter made an able argument, replying eeri
awn to Mr. Crittenden's points. Ho said that to
throw bees, the people of Kansas into a territorial
condition would produce a truce for three or four
years, which trues might Le improved into a perma
nent peace, and this distracting question pass out of
federal polities, thereby giving time to attend to the
great objects, both moral and political, which address
themselves to our attention.
Mr. Collamor took the floor and made an old
fashioned Kansas speech...
Mr. Green replied in defense of the executive,
and said that Mr. Wade in describing him as corrupt
acted as the slenderer of the executive. He also
said that the assertion of Mr. Crittenden that the
administration have abandoned the position by sub
mitting Lecompton to the people is not true.
Mr. Crittenden took exception to the emphasis
with which Mr. Green used the words "not true."
Some verbal sparring ensued in Which„.Mr.. Green
likened Mr. Crittenden to a Kentucky-Olimber, a
phrase which Mr. Crittenden professed himself
able to comprehend. After a few words in which
Mr. Crittenden had palpably the bait of it, Mr:
Green resumed, his speech, disclaiming the charge
that the lands donated by the Kansas Bill were in
the nature.
Mr. Halo discussed the merits of the Conference
substitute; saying that by no possibility could Kan.
sae come into-the Union under that substitute, except
as a dove State, and that substituteeffers a premium
of five millions for her to come in as a slave State:
Mr. Hale then went into severe comments on the
President saying that there °Ties no real equality;,
that President Buchanan gave away, by a single
dash bf his pen, an island, Vane. Liver's, occupying
the same position to the Pacific that Cuba, which he
wants to'buy for two hundred millions, does to the

iFyijer, cN 13111.1miENTATrVES
Mr. Pettit, of Indiana, from the select committee
appointed to inquire into the facts and circumstances
attending the sale of the Fort Snelling pr party,
made a report from the majority. Ho said the com
inittno was nut so tortunate as to come to an agree
went concerning the facts. Ic'rerly to a suggestion
of Mr. grow, of Pennsylvania, Mr. Pettit remarked
that thoro was nothing in the report implicating any
Member in 'either branoh of Congress: Ho moved
that the report be laid on the table and printed, and
wade the special order for the 18th of May, which
was agreed to.
-Mr. Burnett, of Kentucky, made a liainority re
-wort, which was ordered to take the same direction.
Mr. Hiighea'asked leave to 'offer a resolution to
censure Mr. Spinner, a member - of the :a oliso from
New York, for committing a -. breach of privilege,
order' and decorum—the. latter having yesterday
asked to submit a9reamble and resolution proposing
a select committed of five to inquire into the facts
and' circumstances by which, under the order of the
commissioner of Lands, Senator Bright and Repre
sentatives English and Foley wore permitted to
enter six thousand wires at the Council Bluffs land
Mike.
Mr. Campbell said it w.s not a broach of privilege
on the part of Mr. Spinner. If every member who
was villified through the public press, should think
it proper to bring the subject before the House, they
should have nothing but questions of privilege,
Mr. Hugheri, of Indiana, wished the House to set
the seal of oondetanation on this malioibus assault
on a Senator and two representatives. The House
should maintain its own dignity and character. The
newspaper attack embodied in Spinner's resolution
was false and scandalous, and was founded in igno
rance of the public statutes of the country. He had
no doubt that the resolution was concerted outside
this house. Ho explained that Messrs. Bright, Eng
lish and Foley made their locations under the law,
from which he proceeded to road. He said tho Pro.
oeedings of the House were used fur the purpose of
stabbing the Commissioner of the Land Office, a Sen
ator and two representatives, and for this purpose ir
responsible end infamous newspaper attacks were
lugged in.
Mr. Qiddings,, of Ohio, raised a point of order,
but the Speaker overruled the objection, as coming
too late.
Mr. English, of Indiana, said he had been a mem •
her of the House for five years, and he could appeal
to the record to bear him out in the assertion that
in all that time he never littered a sentence reflect
ing on the personal character 4f any of his arsoci
etas on this floor, and before he bad any occasion to
notice or refer to any charges of a personal charac-
ter towards himself. Ho knew of no law which
made it improper, in any sense, for members of Con
gress to purchase public lands. On the 23d of Feb
ruary, he and Mr. Foley, for themselves and certain
of their constituents, deposited in the General Land
Office a number of land warrants, which were located
in open day and under the law and instructions of
the Secretary of the Interior and Commissioner of
the Land Office. He read from the law and instruc
tions, in proof of his assertion, and showed that no
preference had been given in the location. If any
gentleman made a charge that favoritism in this
matter was shown him to influence his action on the
Kansas question, or insinuate that he was influenced
by other than patriotic motives, he would denounce
him as a liar, a paltroon and a coward. [Gies from
the Demooratio side of, "good," "hit him again."
After further (Want?, on motion of Mr. Davis, of
Maryland, the whole subject 'Wei; tabled,
The House adopted a resolution making it in order
for the Committee of the Whole on the State of the
Union to take a recess till seven o'clock in the even
, Ing throughout the present week for the purpose of
general debate only.
The House wont into committee, when J. Glancy
Jones made an ineffectual effort to consider the Ap
propriation bills.
The committee resumed the consideration of the
bill granting to soldiers of the war of 1812 a pension.
Mr. Curry opposed the bill as proposing to bestow
more gratuities, et an annual expense of eleven mil
lions of dollars, whloh is as large a sum as the
total expenditures of government in 1825. Messrs.
Clark, of Missouri, Anderson, of Missouri, and Cur..
tie, of lowa, spoke in favor of the bill, and Mr. Quit
man, of Mississippi, in opposition to it.
The Committee then rose, and the House ad
journed.
From W aohl ugton,
WASHINGTON, April 27.—Despatches have been
calved Lit the Navy Department from Captain Hud
son, in command of the United States steam frigate
Niagara, dated the 9th instant. He states that four
hundred and seventy miles of the telegraph cable
has been coiled on board the Niagara. The vessels
would each carry 1,460 miles. Captain fludson had
been received in England with every mark of cour
tesy. The officers and men attached to the Niagara
were all well.
The report of the majority:of the Seleot Committee
on the facts and circumstances attending the sale of
Fort Snelling, was made to day in the lioure. It
enters fully into the history of the proceedings. It
st.ys that the sale was effected with such privacy that
outside of the Secretary of War none but the combi•
nation immediately interested had any knowledge of
it. The facts obtained publicity only after the eon.
tirmation of the sale by the Secretary of War. Nu
special authority was given him to sell, nor did the
existing laws confer the power to sell military posts
or reservations until they had already become use
less, end not merely contemplated to become useless.
This legal occasion for the sale of Fort Snelling had
not occurred, and hence was without legal authority.
The preliminaries were being made for the sale while
there were actual threatened hostilities. The am-
mittee show ts Valle as a depot, and that the price
obtained was t)010W its intrinsic value. The publicity
of the sale ought to have been =ought, and the lat.d
subdivided in parcels to enable men of small M6,01°
to buy. The sale was on a credit not authorized by
law. The report is by Messrs. Morrill, Pettit and
Morris, of Illinois, and concludes with resolutions
declaring that toe sale of the military post of
Fort Snelling, and so much of the reservation at
tached to it as was necessary for military pur
poses, made on the 6th of Juno, 1857, under the
authority of the Secretary of War, the same being
thou and now reclaimed under the authority of that
Department, because necessary fur military purposes,
was without the authority of law. That the said
sale was made by the Secretary of War notwithstand
ing his own knowledge, and the opinions of his pre
decessor, the Hen. Jefferson Davis, and other officers
in superior military command, to the contrary, with
out consulting, without the advice, and without the
knowledge of any officer •n the service of any rank,
leaving the question of the retention of that poet to
the discretion of commissioners appointed to make
the sale ; and this action on tho part of the Secretary
of War was a grave official fault ; that with the
knotriedge of the great value of Fort Snelling post
and reservation, and the importance of great caution
and judgment in making the sale, the Secretary of
War appointed as agents for the purpose unqualified,
inexperienced and incompetent men ; that the pro
visions for and management of the sale were so neg
ligently, carelessly and injudiciously made as to in
duce a successful combination against the Govern
ment to exclude all competition, and bring a lose on
the Government; that John C. Matthews, the agent
of the Department of War for the examination and
sale of the Fort Ripley reservation, after having al
reaay formed a combination of the Fort Snelling
reservation, acted, in n.aking such a purchase, n
violation of his official duty, and against the knowl
age of Government, and that as to him and Richard
Schell, represented by him as an agent, and Steele
and Graham, who wore complicated in the sale, with
a full knowledge of their' of f icial eharacter, the sale
of Fort Snelling Reservation was at the time, and is
now, void.
The minority, Messrs. Burnett and Faulkner, say
they were not aware of the clamor and denunciation
which followed the execution of the contract of sale,
and of the harsh imputations cast on the Secretary
of War, but it required little discernment to detect In
this eoncentrated'bittereess of the opposition press,
the ravings of that disappointed speculator and the
frantic exaggerations of the political partizan. The
Committee were in session during a period of three
months and examined fifty-two witnesses, at a cost
of $15,000 for witnesses' attendance .only. The mi
nettle, say that the Hon. Robert Smith, who intro
duced the resolution of inquiry, when brought before
the Committee as a witness, disclaimed in the most
emphatic terms, any knowledge of fraud on the part
of the seller or purchaser or any body else. There
is not one word or syllable in the whole mass of the
testimony which caste the slightest imputation upon
the fairness, lepartiality, or integrity of the Secre
tary of War. The witnesses had differed with him
in the opinion upon which he sated in abandoning
Fort Snelling as a site no longer useful for military
purposes, but no inuendo has been hazarded in
any form or by any qualification reflecting upon
the party, and the disinterestedness of the personal
and official conduct of the Secretary of War
with the transaction under consideration. Thirty
witnesses were examined touching the value of
the property, of whom eight only expressed the
opinion that it was sold below the true value. Two
witnesses testified that the price obtained was what
it was fairly worth, and twenty_ tour expressed the
opinion that it was sold beyond its value. The riai
nority have no difficulty in Saying that both the
weight of opinion and the facts largely preponder
ate against the Idea that the Fort Sealing reserve
eau - ever become a city. They came to the conclu
sion that the sale was fairly conducted and in a
proper tdahast; that considerations of military pol
icy-me' lodger` required that Fort Snelling be re
;tained ti post; and that the property was sold at
its full and fair value, and they concluded by offer
ing, the following-resolution, as a substlinte for those
of the majority of the Committee: That
the recent sale of military reservation at Tort Snell•
ing, having been , made by the Secretary of War,
under tho direction 01" the President of 'the 'United
States,in strict conformity to law, and - the evidence
reported by the Select vortopitteo .bevicig failed to
exhibit: any fact or. circumstance .teeding in the
slightest degree to impeach the faience/a of the sale or
the' itttegrity' of any of the office or 'agents of the
Government concerned in the sums,, or to exhibit
any fact or circumstance 'which should make the paid
sale a proper subject for the opinion and action of
dile House, it is xadertA that the eousraittee be dis

Tctucavro, April 27th, 1854.
Messrs. Fleming Bros—Sirs tat e this opportunity of
Informing you of the benefits I have derived from Dr. Mc.
Lane's valuable Pills. I have fur two years past been af
flicted with a severe pain over the eyes, accompanied with
a nervousness and sense of distal:um ; a malady beyond the
power and skill of our physicians to relieve and cure, caused,
as far as I myself could Judge, by a diseased state of the
liver and stomach. Some of SI , e doctors tried bleeding, and
various other remedies were tried, but all In vain, for the
deep•rocted disease still stuck fast. At last I procured a
box of your valuable Liver Pills from a Druggist here, and
feel, after taking a portion of them, that the disease and
painful sensation over the eyes has almost entirely left me.
I will close by advising all those Millet:A as I have been, to
procure this valuable medicine at once, and save much time
and pain, with little expense. With sincere gratitude end
respect, I remain yours, respectfnlly,
