Washington News. WASBINGTON, Jam 29, 1856. Correspondence of tire, Globe: That Congressional SebastoPol, the Spea er's Chair, is not yet taken, and, the Banks men are beginniri.no think seriously of rais ing the siege. All. their..caloletiorA,' have come to naught l conviction that a new combination is essential 'to success, is working its way to their hearts. Mr. Banks has held them to his support thus long by re peated and positive assurances that the_ Ad- ministration would be "starved out'? before the - close of January, artii that the President would influence the Democratic members of the HoUse - to assist in passing the plurality rule, under which Mr. Banks might be, e l e t.. ted. This calculation has failed for two rea sons. -First—the -President does. -not ,desire the adoption of the plurality rule. . Secondly Derrrocratic members of the House would not, as matters stand, adopt that rule if the President did desire it. Theidea.-that the tourseof the Democrats in Congress -is shaped at the White House, is -absurd. The -Democratic members.have. great respect for -the . President; but they are freemen, .arid -would scornfully repel dictation, .na matter holy high the quarter from• which it might come. They aet upon their own responsibil ity and move of their own volition,-and- the -President is neither to be,censured nor praised 'for what they.do: . In no shape or form will -they- contribute to the election of Mr-. Banks. lam satisfied of that; and if the -friends of that gentleman desire a presiding officer of ,their own .political creed, the sooner they :drop Mr. B. and select a candidate who can -command their whole party vote in the House, the-sooner their desires will be gratified. ' The delay in organizing is very trying to .the office hunters. Most of them having run out of funds, have gone home- . Those who, remain remind-me oftthe sick man %vita-af ter his "constitution" was gone, lived sever -al weeks on the "by-laws." They have a. care-worn, half-fed, hungry look, that shows plainly enough that their financial-"constitu lion'? is gone,, and that they areesubsisting on the "by-laws.'? MI this is fun to .me and a . few more who,-like myself, are• in the happy condition of the blessed who expect nothing, hutit is death to the poor expectants. . The Senate was the centre of attraction yesterday, it being understood that,Gen. Cass: would speak on the Central American --qu.es tion. He did speak on- that question, and I think it would have (lone John Bull -good to have heard him, though John's blood .would_ undoubtedly have been stirred by,some of the -General's hard knocks. Mr.. Cass paid a very: high compliment to Mr.. Buchanan, onr.Mio_- .ister to England, whose notes to; the 'Earl of Clarendon• he styled "model's of diplorhatic correspondence." This great speech is be ing. written out,and shortly -:be publish .lt was ,a masterly . vindication, of our rights, and a 'searching "exposure of the bad faith of the British govern meut. Mr. Seward, will speak on the same subject, and, I think,' in the same strain, on Thursday. Hon. William Bigler, the new Senator from Pennsylvania, appeared in' his seat -y es terda.y and„was duly sworn in. CornmocloreMorris died,in this eitY on Sun -day; at the age 'of 72. Mot,withstanding his' _advanced age, the National In telligencer as serts, "on the unvarying testimony orliis brother officers," that he.was "the ablest na-. val commander in, the world." He entered the service in 1799, and fought in; many glo rious actions.. Hulor.Nnnort,T. . • WASHINGTON, • FEB. 1856. , The "big scare" that was- , the, Banks men at the.,date of my - last • communication -passed off the. following day,. and instead of pitching their candidate overboard, as they • were on -the point-of doing, they have clung to him with great firmness. Tice_ terror they were in was caused by an apprehension that the "South Americans"-would-vote. with the ,Democrats, several : articles. advising a uz - tion •of the "national,-men" having , appeared •in • some of the.-newspapers of this city,- -The debate on -Tuesday brought them tel the ,gulf between the. : Democrats and the Nation al Know Nothings having, apparently,. been widened by the discussion; and their- courage .was further ,_revived' and ;strengthened by a rumor that the plurality proposition would - receive some support from the Democratic side of the House. The rumor Was not ,tv ith 'put foundation. A resolution in favor of the plurality rule was offered on . Wednesday by a supporter of the Democratic candidate, but it.receiv,ed,very little favor from that -aide of _the House, and failed by five votes, On Wednesday: evening .fwo absent,. Banks men arrived, - andit .was thought that Campbell of Ohio, who had voted against-the rule, might -be induced ,to change,in its favor. This would make - a tie, -and iane more vote could ,be got, the ity rule Would carry. The contest seemed approaching a climax, and members of,,all.partiee; thought that, by TEA is day evening, the long agOny Would be ov . e.r.— But Thursday ,[6.-s come and gone, and .the end is not yet; 'though edge' at harid. : At,_an early honr,en • Thursday the,galleries were,packedwith .eager„Speotators of both sexes, and at .12,o?clock,...wilen i .the House was called to order by the Clerk - , members were in their seats. A riviliiinde of prOpii 'eitions were submitted and diSPOSed of,'-some Producing great merriment and others intense excitement. ' At length the "plurality resolu -tian, on the final 'passage of - which Mr.' Bank's has - so lotto - built his hopes, was brought"' fer ward, and theimPreSsion - was' general that 'it would pass. At- thi's juncture,. however, a movement was made by the Sbuthern , Know Nothings which gave a' :neat-turn- to affairs. Amember of that party bile - red as an amend ment to the plurality proposition, a resolution declaring Hon. William Smith, a Democratic member from Virginia, Speaker of the House, and demanded the -previous question. ,:The yeas and nays were taken,,-and, the- amend ment in- favor of. Mr. -Smith received 4.00 votes—not a majority-of all the votes cast, ..but enough.to make a question- -whether Mr. Smith or Mr. : Banks would, be electedan der the- plurality rulel , '-Here was a, new "scare" for the-friends of- - Mr. Banks; who _didnot. press • : the plurality ,resolution, but -voted-an adjournment-Swhich they had previ :ously shouted-down) in very hot haste in deed: - - • This - afternoon the tug of_war - Will come.— now.it will end I cannot say. It is =evident -that a crisis - is approaching,- and you may expect either an election of Speaker or an ad:. journmentof Congress-very soon.

The first day we on ly went 12 miles west of Ft. Dodge, because we left that place too late to pass the prairie between Desmoines River and Coon River— forty teVo miles wide. On Friijey, Dec. 7, we - started early in the morning, and followed the mein road west, till Moon, to - two., large elakes known as Twin , Lekes., They contain -eaeh about, a section of land. ' ,We passed be etween -them, and could see in the distance the timber for which we. were aiming. . About the middle of the afternoon a dense fog arose ; -which - completely obscured the t imber ahead., Our gpide being gone, we . followed the course as nearly as possible by the compase—ebot night overtook us wandering ,on _the„ wide .prairie.. ,We kept on our course as nearly as weehtildbythe wind until 12 o'clock, when eve . called -, a. halt, ,unsaddled our horses, and .each resting his head and pact of his body on j hiesaddle turned up, we tarried . over-night quite uncomfortably.

' There -was a dismal pros peet."Drenched with rairie—shiiering - with cold, We were compelled to try the prairie another 'night. As 'the . night previeus.' we - took offotir saddles, and lay down.

Still we shivered and' almost froze.— My companion' about midnight grew very i sleepy—with great 'effort I -keptehtm awake Until about 5 - o'clodk in the morning when he said he was freezing—that his feet were I already frozen. We arose—l got the saddles on the horses, — but he:Co-Of:riot mount, :and 11 was too-Wek to help him-on his horse: I ; took him by the hand and held my hothe by my other 'hand and thus I aided him along up the 'west Torlifeif 'that creek for- nearly two miles.
