WASIIINOTON, Jan. 4
Senate.--Mr. Douglass, of Illinois, reported
a bill for the organization of the Territory of
Nobrasca. The bill provides that the Fugitive
Slave law shall be in full force in said terri
tory. Mr. Seward caked up .the resolution
relating to Senator Phelps. A desultory de
bate sprang up on the question of the refer
ence of the resolution• to a committee. Mr.
Foot took the ground that Mr. Phelps was
entitled to his seat. Mr. Badger argued that
he was not entitled to a seat, and wanted„...to
have the question settled as a precedent. Mil,
Phelps vindicated his right to a seat under
the appointment of the Governor of Vermont.
After some fuither discussion, the question
was taken and the resolution adopted. Seve
ral petitions wore „presented and referred.
Among them, one from John Lea, of Cincin
natti, Ohio, representing that ho has discover
ed a preventive of the cholera, and asking an
investigation by a suitable committee, or ho
Surgeon General of the United Statbs Army,
of the theory advanced, The theory of the
memorialist consists in the use of rain or
boiled water. He asserts that when the chol
era attacked Cincinntati in 1845, ho found
that deaths in those families that used water
from the Ohio river were very rare, and in
thOse where rain or boiled water was used
there were no mortal cedes. That ho does
not remember ono well authenticated case of
' death by cholera where rain water was drank
exclusively ; 4 1out on the other hand he had
known whole families cut off by persyting in
the use of well and spring water, while their
,nearest neighbors, who persisted in the use of
rain water, had not a fatal case in their fami
lies.
House. —The,gommit tee on Ways and Means
reported the Fortification bilt. The Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs reported the French
Spoilation till. Mr. Cutting called up his re
solution in reference to the Bronson corres
pondence. After a sharp debate it was laid
on the table by a vote of 104 to 06. The joint
.resolution confdtring the grade of Lieutenant
General on General Seott was taken up. A
motion to lay it on the table was defeated by
a vote of 56 yeas to 82 nays, and the resolu
tion was referred to the Committee on Mili
tary affairs,
Benafe.—Mr. Foot gave notice of a bill pro
viding for the construction of a rail road from
the Mississippi river to the Pacific coast. lle
said his bill would be a practical measure, and
differing from the other projects heretofore
submitted to Congress. Tho select committee
on the Pacific Railroad is not yet appointed.
Mr. Cass mitred that the message of the
President of the other day, relating to the
Clayton and Bulwer treaty, be referred, and
that that motion be postponed and mode the
order of the day for Tuesday next, which day
ho would ask to be heard on the subject.
Agreed to. Mr. Dodge, of lowa, moved the
Nebraska bill be printed, with the report of
the committee. This was agreed to, and the
Senate then adjourned to Tuesday.
House.—Mr. Dean, from the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, reported the resolution pre
senting the thanks of Congress M Capt. Ingra
ham, and providing for a suitable medal. The
House refused to put the resolution on its

ps_The Harrisburg' :Democratic Union,
under its new editors, GEO. M. 'ALTMAN & Go.,
comes down upon the Pennsylvanian, and Col.
John W. Forney, in the fiercest style. With
regard to the National and State Administra
tion, it says it will support them ' in all meas
ures bused upon Deinocratio principles, and
designed for lb() promotion Of the public good,'
but ',wishes it to be distinctly understood,'
that it considers itself in no wise bound to
approve every Executive sentimerit or appoint
ment.' This sounds somewhat equivocal.=
The Eldon will henceforth be the organ of the
Case and Camefon wine6f the party. Its ed
itorials are from the pen of our old friend,
George W. Crabb, formerly of Carlisle. Mr.
Crabb has left Wisconsin to take his present
situation at a handsome salary. „
grOur friend Col. Alcaunu, of the Cham
bersburg 117lig,is the Napoleon of the country
preset decidedly. lie is showing country pa
pers what they may do by energy and'onter
prise. When the Col. first took charge of the
Whig he quite astonished its old patrons • by
the improvements he made. Now he has a
gain!greatly enlarged its borders and striking
ly improved its appearance. The quarto form
in which it is now issued we have fur some
time thought the most proper for a fatally pa
per, and which we shall adopt when we dojo
our now dress not long hence. The Whig is
now fairly at the head of the country press in
size and appearance, and is well conduoted in
all its departments. Wo hope - its energetic
proprietor will realize his highest expectations
of prosperity.

Tbe Whig.Stato Committee have fixed upon
the 15th day of March next as the time, and
Harrisburg as the.place for the assembling of
the Whig State Convention. The Democratic
Convention will meet at the same place, on
the Bth of March, so that the candidates of
both parties will be in the- field at an early
day..
, The State officers to be chosen at tho next
Fall election, are a„Governor, Canal Commis
sioner; and a Judge of the Supreme Court in
plane of Chief Justice Black, whose term will
expire about the Ist of January, 1855.—G0v.
Bigler will undoubtedly be nominated far re
election by, the Locofooo.Convention ; and Judge
Black, most probably, fur the Supregil Bench.
Runty S. Mutt, will probably be the candi
date of the opposition for Canal, Commissioner.
The Gubernatorial campaign of 1854, pro
mises to bo unusually exciting. The Whigs,
disheartened by the successive defeats of 1851
and 1862, have allowed the late elections to
go by default, but brighter prospects are again
opening up before them, and we do not , think
we count too largely upon the recuperative
energies of the party, in predicting that in the
great battle to come off next year, they• wilt
once more march shoulder to - shoulder in solid
phalanx.

The Wok Chester .Rekister enye, Governor
Bigler is evidently of the same school as the

PLAIN ,SPEAKING
Tun PnEsintiscy.—Fronlilin Pierco has been
sufficiently long in office to show the stuff
he is ulnae of, and the result is not very favor
ablo,. either to his character or popularity
.among his own partizans. Already there is a
Well organized opposition against the Admin
istration, from the members of its oDin politi
cal faith in Congress, and so great is the feel
ing of disappointment in all parts of the Union
at his course, that if hb were again before the
people for the same office, ho would, assuredly
suffer an inglorious defeat. The New York
Sun, a neutral paper of .the Ledger stamp, in
tin article on the now President, says:
" Of one folly thb Presidency of Franklin
Pierco will,' we believe, cure the American
people—the folly of passing by eminent states
men who have rendered valuable services to
the 'country, and bestowing the highest honors
in the Republic upon comparatively obscure
politicians of third or fourth rate abilities.—
The weightidst responsibilities of Government
ought not to be entrusted to such men. Should
we continue to make the Presidency of the
United States a sort of Lottery Prize, for which
ppliticians of all grades might gamble with
equal chances of success, and which tho moll
unfit might win, the Republio must boon lone
its high character and forfeit the esteem which
constitute the moral force of a nation."
Hereafter the Surdviees-the people not to
'run the risk of electing a 'nobody,' with the
additional mortification of thinking, for twelve
months, that they .have elected 'somebody,'
and then find they hadn't.'
DARDS AND SOFT,
The result of the caucus field by the dem
oeratid members of the House at Harrisburg,
is said to indicate the relative strength of the
" Horde" and " Sorts" in the present Legisla
ture. The candidates were Mr. CHASE, of
Susquehanna, the Speaker elect, and James li.
Struthers, of Carbon. On the first balled
Chase had 33 votes, and Struthere 31, with.
two scattering votes, so that Chaos received
the caucus nomination of 'the party' by a tie
vote. It is understood, we believe, that Chase
is a 'Soft,' or Administration man; while Stru
thers 'sympathises with the ' or. Na
tionals'. If this be so the Herds' and Softs'
in Pennsylvania are nearly as nicely balanced
as in New York.
A NEW TRnATI"
A dispatch from Washington states that a
treaty with Mexico has been negotiated by
General Gadsden, and is now before the Pres
ident, and will probahly_soon_bc communicated
to the Senate:
Tho first article of the treaty, it is said,
provides that Mexico shall givo to the United
States such a boundary as nill enable us to
protect Mexico from the incursions of the
frontier Indinns. •
'no second artielo provides fora right .of
way for a railroad to the Pacific, ons
means"—to *quote the language of the treaty—
"of forming a commercial barrier - against the
attacks of the indians."
The third article provides for an abrogation I
of the eleventh section of the treaty of Guada
lupe Ilidalgo, which guarantees the defense of
tho frontier in consideration of money given,
which is to be in full of all paSt depredations.
The fourth article provides for the specific
enforcement of the Tehuantepec right of way.
The fifth contains an alternative proposition
to the second article, to theoffect that Mexico
shall cede to the United States a boundary
which will include the route known in Lieu
tenant Parke's map as "Lieutenant Colonel
Cooko's wagon route," extending nearly to the
thirty-first parallel, and going due west, so as
to give us a large accession of territory, and
taking in the whole of the peninsula of Lower
California. including Sonora, upon the pay.
mont by the United States 'to Mexico of fifty
millions of dollars.

Distressing Casualty
A little girl, daughter of Mr. John Brannon,
of this borMigh, was burned to death on Fri
day last. We learn that she was in the kitch
en with her mother, and \Odle in the 'act of
taking a cake front the cooking stove, her
Clothes 'caught fire. The fire spread rapidly
and soon enveloped her Whole person. No per
pon was present but the mother, who in vain
attempted to smother the flames. The child

shot time after. •

The ceremonies attending the dedication ofd
the new Odd Follows Hall on Friday evening ,
last, drew it large audience to the First Peas
byterien Church, 'where the address was deli
vered.
The exerci-Ts were commence ‘ d at 7
o'clock, with prayer by the Bev. MA WING,
Pat:feat : ref the Church. An appropriate dedi
cation Ode was then sung with fine effect by
the choir. Tho address by R. A, LAMIttiILTON,
Esq. of Harrisburg, came next in order, and
was listened to with close attention and Warm
interest. The address was a production of
truly elegant character, abounding in lofty
thoughts and manly sentiments, spoken with
admirable effect. Singing by the choir and
the benediction concluded the exercises, and
the members of the Order afterwards eat down
to an elegant entertainment provided at Burk
holder's ITotel, where we presume the feast of
reason was followed by the flow of soul.
Cumberland County Mtal
From the Auditor General's Report we learn

moot for 1853, $33,817 75. From the same
source wo learn that the Stato treasury has
received the following items of revenue from
this county during the lost year.

LATEST FOREIGN' NEWS
The Canada, from Liveirpool Decmber 21th,
arrived on Wednesday at Halifax. The Turk
ish war shows r'a signs of relaxation, though .
the diplomatists continue to negotiate. A
bloody engagement has taken place,,at Kalefat
on the Danube, in which the Turks repulsed
the Russians with great slaughter on both sides.
From Asia there i 6 nothing decisive, though it
is reported that the Georgians aid and wel
come the advancing 'irks. The statement
that Persia has declared against the Porte is
confirmed : the Shah is to furnish nomo nal.
dieas to Russia. On the other hand the Rus
sins provinces of the Crimea and Kherson are
said to be'in a state of partial insurrection.—
i is credibly asserted that the Blltish, French
and Turkish fleets , entered the Black Sea on
the 10th December, their supposed destination
being iieba'stopol. Three vessels of each squa
dron were left to7iiiard Constnntinople. The
Czar having frequently declared that the entry
into the Black Sea would be considered by him
equivalent to a declaration of war—the with
drawal of the Russian Ministers from Paris
and London was immediately looked fn.. An
extraordinary rumor was afloat about the
nt Sinope. The Ttrk.s imagine the
affair was planned with the consent of the
British to intimidate them into accepting terms
of peace. It appears that the Russian Admi
ral observed the Turkish flotilla at anchor in
Siuope on 234 November, and although already
outnumbering the Turks, he sent for three
mere line-of-battle ships, which joined him on
the 21111, and the btittle was fcught on the :10th.
The news that the Turkish fleet was nt Sinnpo
was carried to the Russian Admir4l by an
Austrian steamer.
Mr. Soule, the United States Minister, had
fought a dud with the Marquis de Turgot, the
French Minister, owing to certain remarks of
the latter on Mrs. Soule's dress, keeeq,erefer
red to. Lord Bowden acted as the second of
the Marquis de Turgot. A duel had also been
fought between Young Soule math° Duke of
Alba, growing out of-the mime affair. In nei
ther come had any-barns been done.
The vacancy in 'the British Cabinet caused
by the resignation of Lord Pahnerston re

resume office, the reason being that Lord Cla

that Parliament should be summoned.
