SENATE.—The HOUSO bill to extend the revenue laws of the United States over upper California, and to establish a collection district, was laid on the ta ble. The bill authorizing the coinage of the gold dollar and the double eagle, was passed with an amendment, (i 0 which the House concurred.) The Senate disagreed to the House amendment to the bill to run the boun dary line between the United States and Mexico, and a committee of conference was appointed. Mr. Douglass moved that the bill (ruin the House to establish a territorial government for Upper California be ta ken up, but the motion did not prevail —yeas 25, days 28. The bill establishing the Home Dc partment of the Government was pass ed, after debate. Various inessages were interchanged with the House. The several appropriation bills were passed. .11ler midnight, the general appropri ation bill was received from the House with an amendment to the Senate's amendment, providing a government for the territories. Warm and eloquent remarks were made by Senators. Fi nally' the Senate receded from their amendment and this saved the bill, which was near being lost. -During the session, and afteP mid night, Mr. Cameron and Mr. Foote had angry words, and came near fisticuffs. An adjournment, sine die, took place at about seven o'clock on Sunday moin lag?. . _ HOUSE. -A variety of miscellaneous business was transacted ; and at three and a half o'clock the House took a re cess until six. Mr. McDowell of Virginia, offered a resolution of thanks to the Speaker for the able, impartial, Nind dignified man ner in which he had discharged the du ties of his station ; and the resolution was adopted. The Senate had passed an amendment to the general Appropriation bill, pro viding a government for the Territories —the House struck this out, and a com mittee of conference had been appoint ed on the disagreeing amendment. Mr. Vinton - moved the committee to be discharged. Questions then were raised, debated and then disposed of. Finally the house receeded, and brought the Senate's amendmenment again before the House. Mr. Moreheall offered an amendment —striking out that part of the amend ment which says that the act shall ap ply to the territory west of the Rio, and inserting that nothing shall be con strued to prejudice the claim of Texas as to boundary. This %vas agreed to— yeas 186, nays 20 Mr. 'Thompson, of Indiana, moved to amend the Senate's amendment by extending the constitution of the U. S. over the territory, and also the existing laws, to secure the people in the enjoy ment of their liberty, property, and re ligion, and empowering the President to carry the provision into effect. This was subsequently adopted. After vari ous efforts of the free soilers to kill.the Appropriation bill, it was again sent to she Senate. Motions were made to ad- journ, speeches delivered, calls of the ! House moved. The greatest possible confusion prevailed throughout the Sen ate. DIED, At his residence in Dublin township, on Thurs day, the Ist instant, Mr. ARCHIBALD STITT, in the 86th year of his age. Another good man has been "gathered to his fathers !" Through the course of a long and useful life, his conduct and character were ever such as to win the confidence and esteem of all with whom he was associated. A native of County Down in Ireland, he emi grated at an early day to this county, and in the year 1703 settled near Burnt Cabins. Among the many neighbors and friends who, from that time until the day of his death, knew and es teemed him for his honest heart and christian virtual, his char.: ter needs no eulogy. Of him we feel that we can without exaggeration say— to None knew him but to love him, None named him but to praise." From his early life an exemplary professor of the Christian religion, and. for forty-two years an Elder in the Presbyterian Church at Shade Gap, there clustered around him the mumories and the fellowships of age—the re spect of manhood—the love and veneration of youth. Now that he has gone, they will derive convolution from the truth, that the tears which 're shed over a good man's grave, act upon the seed he has sown in the hearts of those he loved, like the dews of Heaven upon the thirsty earth. —Co m m 'deo ted.
