Mr. Greely, who has been in Washington most of ihe current week, proposes to show why Congress does nothing from month to month, and in pursuance of this" intention re marks, that "the country already knows that there is thorough understanding, a resolute de termination among the Slavery PropogandUt in Congress that none of the essential mea sures of the sesion shall pass until the Slavery and Territorial questions shall have been set tled 10 their satisfaction. And this Propagan da, controlling the organization of what calls ttself the Democratic party, has grasped the Speakership of ihe House through the defec tion of five Southern Members elected as Whigs who refused to to:e for the Whig Speaker un less the party wyuld resolve not to support the Wilmoi Proviso. The Speaker so chosen has placed at the head of tho committee of Ways and Means, Thomas H. Bayly, of Va., who de serted the Whig party seven or eight years ago because it was not pro-slavery in its gen eral policy, and who is now one of the most active and reckless Propagandist in either House. He with a compliant Committee has to this day withheld from the House all the genoral Appropriation bills of 'he Session in the face of a positive and explicit Rule of the House," which declares that it shall be the duty of said Committee within thirty days after appointment, to report the Appropriate bills or assign reasons for not doing so. An attempt was mado last rcek to instruct tho Committee to perform this long-neglected duty, but it was impossible to su!pfid the rules so as to get in a resolution for this purpose because of the ab sence from their posfs of more than one hun dred members, two thirds of whom are from the North! So matters remaira in statu quo. Sussex Register. ItlelanclioIIy -Occurrence. A young man named John Weiss, son of Mr. George Wiess of this placa, left home on - the packet on Friday last, as we learn, to hSh somewhere up the river. On the way John got into dispute with a boatman, a young man about eighteen years of age, and at the Stony creek Lock, got on his boat threatening to whip him. The boatman, we are informed declined righting & tried to get outof John's way but John pressing closer upon him, he struck him on the head with a club about the size of an ordinary Pick handle. The blow knocked Wiess off the boat into the Lock and there beining two boats in the lock at the time, he sunk and got under one of them. It become necessary to push out the boats and empty the Lock before his body could be recovered and when found he was dead. A Post Mortem examination was made in the evening after the body had been brought to the house of his father in this place, by several Physicians, in presence of a Jury of Inquest summoned to enquire into the cause of hit death. The verdict of the Jury, wo are informed, was that he came to his death by drowning. The young man who jjave the unfortunate blow has, we'are informed, given himself up to the propper officers. If the opinion of those best acquainted, with the facts is correct the young man was not much in fault, although the consequence of a blow given in anger to his fellow, was such as should prove a warning not only to him but to allothers, to resort to blows only when no other means will protect person or property.
