WORLD'S JUBILEE ?
Washington Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29, 1856
Congress will assemble on Monday, with the
prospect of a good attendance in both branches.
The arrival of members thus far, has been unu
sually limited, owing to the fact, that the House
is already organized, so far as the election of
Speaker is concerned. The Standing Committees
are usually re-appointed, with such changes only
as resignations, or other causes, may require.
And as all serious attempts at legislation are ordi
narily deferred until after the holidays, there
was no such urgency as attends the opening of a
new Congress; when honors are to be distributed,
and every vote has its specific importance.
It is yet somewhat doubtful whether the Presi
dent's Message will be communicated to Congress
on Monday, or upon Tuesday. In order to guard
against the mutilation which too often occurs in
the transmission by telegraph, the President has
dispatched this document by special messengers,
to all the principal cities within two days' journey,
so that it may be delivered to the press by the
Postmasters at those points, simultaneously with
its presentation to Congress. The general char
acter of the Message it is easy to imagine. It will
be devoted to a review of the policy of the last
four years, of the difficulties which have encom
passed the . administration, and of the success
which has ultimately crowned its efforts. In many
material respects, the President has great cause for
gratulation ; and he may point with no little pride
to the consummation of some important results.
The foreign relations, which, so late as a year ago,
were seriously threatened with rupture, are now
completely pacified, and, it is hoped, established
upon a footing of permanent tranquility. The,
only remaining cause of difference with England,
in regard to Central American affairs, Las very
recently been adjusted, by a treaty made between
Mr. Dallas and Lord Clarendon, which has yet to
be submitted to the Senate, for ratification. No
further action has been taken in the matter of
the Sound Dues. Our terms with Spain are
friendly ; and we are, in fact, enjoying peace
with all the world.
In domestic affairs, the issue which, of all
others, has excited deepest concern, and most
disturbed the repose of the country, besides rous
ing a sectional spirit, dangerous to spread, and
difficult to allay, has at length assumed a shape,
that furnishes some promise of a rational solu
tion. The election, which formed an element of
excitement on both sides, is now over, and men
are better able, in their calmer moments, to aban
don the extreme opinions which occasioned much
of this crusade, and to address themselves with
resolution to the kern duties, which their destiny
in that Territory demands. We already see, since
the Presidential struggle has been settled, how
things have become composed, how collisions have
ceased, and how order has comparatively resumed
its sway, after a reign of appalling anarchy and
bloodshed. Just and moderate counsels in the
new administration will secure to the people of
Kansas, the Constitutional rights which they are
entitled to enjoy; and the present tendency is
auspicious for an easy adjustment of a question,
which at one time was complicated with the most
alarming consequences.
The financial condition of the Government af
fords a just reason to the President, too, forso,tis
factory comment. During the last four years,
more than fifty millions of the public debt, in
cluding the payment of principal and interest, to
Texas and its creditors, have been extinguished,
leaving but little more than thirty-one millions
now, as the aggregate of national obligation—a
sum hardly equal to the indebtedness of some of
the petty principalities of Europe.
Whatever differences of opinion may prevail,
as to the political policy of Gen. Pierce's admin
istration, upon which I propose to offer no re
mark, it is but justice to say, that in all the con
troversies with foreign powers, the dignity and
honor of the nation have been nobly vindicated.
His term of office has been marked by some ex
traordinary events, and attended by embarrass
ments of no common character. Throughout the
collisions of party, and the struggles for power,
the President has borne himself becomingly; and
ho will retire, on the 4th of March, carrying with
him the personal regard and attachment of many
who widely dissented from the political senti
ments, welch ho avows with so much zeal and
purpose.
Now that there is no longer an object in Con
gress, to discuss politics merely, to the disadvan
tage of more material interests, as was the course
during the whole of last session, an effort will be
made, at least, to give attention to some of the
great objects which have engaged public attention.
If the subject can be reached at an early day, the
recommendation of the Secretary of the Treasu
ry, to admit raw materials, including wool and
dye-stuffs, free of duty, is likely to pass. There
is a growing feeling toward the policy; and inn°
small degree among the wool-growers, who here
tofore opposed it as inimical to their interests.
Both sides have plausible theories, which experi
ence will better solve, than the dogmatism with
which they are asserted.
The Pacific Railroad is likely to engross the
most active efforts at this session, and the great
danger attending it is, that the competition for a
work of such national magnitude and moment, is
confined mainly to speculating combinations.
Nearly all the plans proposed are liable, in 11
greater or less degree, to this imputation. The
great object is, to get a grant of land, to incor
porate a Company, to press the stock in the mar
ket and then to let the railroad build itself.
None of the schemes compare in merit with that
first suggested by the bold and original mind
which conceived this connexion, long before Cali
fornia gold stimulated it to the present point of
conceded necessity. Asa Whitney's plan was a
grant from the government of a belt of land along
the hue of the road in alternate divisions, to be
assigned by Commissioners, according to the pro
gress. In ether words, the construction of the
work created and carried along its own popula
tion, by which alone it can be sustained event
ually, while the enhancement of the ungranted
divisions more than compensated for those apgro

An intimation has been thrown out., that the
combination which was formed among the railroad
interests of the North-West and South two years
ago, for the admission of railroad iron free of
duty, and for the refunding of duties paid within
a limited time, will be renewed this Winter. As
the Administration is about to relinquish power,
and the present majority in the House has lost
its ascendency, the sense of responsibility in re
gard to this and other measures is greatly dimin
ished, and consequently votes may be given now
that might not have been ventured, under a
changed condition of circumstances. Still, it
Will be difficult to carry any such proposition
while a few determined men in the Senate re
solve it shall not succeed, and exert their un
limited powers of debate under the rules of that
body.
As yet, no indication has been given in any au
thorized form, of the probable composition of Mr.
Buchanan's Cabinet. All suggestions on that
subject are purely speculative, and without the
least recognition on his part. He has discreetly
kept his own counsel so far, and there is every
reason to believe he will continue to do so, until
the votes of the Electoral College have been for
mally recorded here. The rumor that he had
tendered the Department of State to Gen. Cass,
is unfounded. Mr. Buchanan has said, very re
cently, to a friend in whom he reposes, much con
fidence, that he has made no selection, and used
no expression justifying an inference in this con
nexion ; that he means to keep himself uncom
mitted, with a view of hearing all aides, and of
adopting the best advice at the last moment. He
has, however, decided that the Administration
shall be a unit in opinion, and not divided by dis
tracting interests, like the one now in power.
And it is also well known that he has determined
no sectionalist of either extreme shall sit at his
council-board ; or, in other words, that it shall
be a Union Cabinet. Although Mr. Buchanan
has necessarily to encounter serious obstacles at
the outset of his new career, the confidence of
the country which his conservative character
has attached, will do much to relieve them, and
to enlist the sympathy of moderate men of all
parties. He has a great opportunity to bring
back the government to its former dignity and
purity ; and if his policy is as wisely directed as
his aims are worthy, the voice of faction will be
silenced, and the strength of mere opposition ma
terially impaired. A CALM OBSERVER.

NEW YORK, November 29.—The steamer
Illinois arrived to-day, with California dates to the
6th, bringing nearly $2,000,000.
The State of California has gone for Buchanan.
The Illinois connected with the Sonora, which
brought down nearly $2,250,000.
The returns received up to two o'clock on the
sth, foot up: Buchanan 14,000; Fillmore 9,600;
Fremont 7,600. There ie nothing definite con
cerning the Legislature.
Nearly full returns of San Francisco give Bu

700 over Fillmore. The Republican Legislative
ticket prevailed in San Francisco County, though
Buchanan will probabq have 160 majority.
The vote in the , city was much lees than at the

In our last, we gave ,a brief statement of the
news by the _Persia. We now present, more fully,
some matters of interest. Croakers, or perhaps,
as they would claim to themselves, persons of
deeper insight than their fellows, speak of a
rupture between France and England as being
near, and of serious complications, and varied
alliances, and probable war. Those, however,
who really ought to know best, speak more hope
fully. In regard to the great matter, the alliance
between England and France, the London Globe
(Ministerial) says
The alliance between the Emperor Napoleon and
Her Majesty Queen Victoria, is as cordial and close
as it ever has been at any hour since it was first
established. Moreover, the alliance has been
unbroken, and has at no time been interrupted, or
even impaired. We have persevered in that state
ment throughout. We did so when all our contem
poraries were against us ; and when even the
course of events appeared to cast a doubt upon our
assurance.
The Time., writes :
No wonder that for a time Russia pursued the
goalie with a show of success that encouraged her
to persevere. But she has already carried it rather
too far. A potentate of honorable mind very soon
feels that it is no compliment to be taken into
confidence apart from a staunch and generous ally,
still less when he discovers that he has been
imposed on by imperfect statements. His eyes
will be fully opened when he finds that his prerog
ative has been assumed by those who should only
represent him ; and, lastly, he will see that he has
been brought to the edge of a precipice, when he
finds that his flatterer is equally confiding to those
who may one day be in his•place. The Emperor
of the French has been indisposed in consequence
of overwork, in a distant province of his empire,
not very accessible to, document's and ailvice ; and
he has had those not about him, but away from
him, who have been only too glad to perform the
part of an Emperor, without its conscience and
responsibility. That state of things is, happily,
now past, and Napoleon HI. has had a lesson that
even a blunt and plain spoken friend is better than
a smooth flatterer or a treacherous servant. At
this moment, we believe we may spay, that our im
perial ally is as free as he is ready to exercise his
own clear judgment on the questions stirred up
by Russia, who will now boast in vain that she
has preoccupied his reason and his honor. On
the whole, there is little doubt thayuatters are
now in a better train for the fultilri3eMt of the
treaty than they have been for some time.
The Christian Times expresses this opinion:
The visit of our Premier to the manufacturing
districts, and, more recently, his speech at the
Lord Mayor's dinner, have more significance in
them that the movements of statesmen are wont
to have. It is a common delusion on the Conti
nent, and some of our own public men have con
tributed to foster it, that England, as a nation of
shopkeepers, soon grow impatient of the, expense
of war. It is upon some calculation of this
kind that the Government of the Emperor Alex.
ander must reckon in the evasions with which
it endeavors to wriggle out of the terms.of the
Paris treaty. Insinuations have not been want
ing, indeed, that England was thoroughly pros
trate with her late exertions, and that no viola
tions of the convention, however flagrant, would
induce her to renew the war. It was, therefore,
a bold course in Lord Palmerston, at the very time
when these insinuations were most rife, to go into
the centre of those districts, and evoke the senti
ments of that class of men among whom, if any
where, some trace of them might be expected to be
found. And the success of the scheme was all
that his lordship himself could have desired. In
Manchester, in Liverpool, and in London alike,
the. noble lord was hailed as the guardian of the
national honor, and the representative of the
national spirit. If there could be any doubt of
the meaning which was to be attached to his re
ception, it would be removed by the vehement
and prolonged cheering which in all three towns
greeted the pregnant sentenie, that the mainte
nance of peace must depend upon the fidelity with
which Russia observed the treaty. Such a senti
ment, and such an echo as it elicited from the
hearts of men, all whose personal interests are
bound up in the maintenance of peace, cannot
fail, and we believe it has not failed, to produce
a due impression, both at Paris and St. Peters
burg.
The Atlantic Telegraph.
Public sentiment in England, slow to admit the
practicability of a telegraphic connexion with
America, is rapidly yielding its prejudices; and,
merchants and capitalists, as well as men of sci
ence, are becoming quite sanguine in their expec
tations of seeing the event accomplished. This
change is being brought about by the talents and
enterprise of Messrs. Morse, Maury, and Fields,
three distinguished Americans. The grand diffi
culty lay between Newfoundland and the Irish
Coast, a distance of nineteen hundred statute
miles. Prof. Morse has proved that messages
can be conveyed with certainty, and with sufficient
frequency, for a stretch of even three thousand
miles, of subterranean wires. Lieut. Maury sug
gested the theory of a subaqueau plateau between
St. Johns, Newfoundland, and Valencia, in Ire
land. At the suggestion of Cyrus W. Field, Esq.,
of New York, the United States Government sent
the steamer Arctic, with a scientific corps, to sur
vey this plateau. It was found in a nearly direct
line, with a smooth shell bottom the whole dis
tance, and near the middle, at the deepest point,
a depth of only two - thousand and seventy fathoms.
A new species of telegraphic cable has been ex
hibited by Mr. Fields, much more flexible and
easily managed in the laying, than any formerly
known. The British Government has ordered
further surveys of the plateau. A company is in
existence to prosecute, the work. Proposals are
invited for the manufacture of the cable; and it
is contemplated that 'two large steamers, with
each its immense coil of wire, shall meet in mid
ocean early next July, unite an end of each coil,
on a Monday morning, and sail, one for. New
foundland and the other for Ireland, paying out
as they go ; hoping by Saturday night, to be at
their destinations ; and their commanders then to
hail each other from Continent to Continent.
Such a consummation would put us, here in
Pittsburgh, and all the principal cities and towns
in our Country, in the way of easy and daily, if
not hourly, intercourse with all the important
places in Europe. What a wonder—to go to the
Telegraph Office after breakfast, send your mes
sage to your friends in Dublin, London, and Paris,
and have their answers for your dining or your
tea-table chat ! This day eight months may, pos
sibly, complete the event. And if , accidents
should occur to cause delay, the evil will be re
paired. The result contemplated we regard as
certain, and the day is near. May it tend to the
promotion of truth and love.
France.
The Emperor remains in Paris, and it is now
announced that he will not go to Fontainbleau—
the Parisians not liking his frequent absence.
The Moniteur announces that Gen. Risseleff, the
Russian Ambassador, at a public audience to de
liver his credentials, spoke as follows :-
"I shall esteem myself fortunate if I can con
tribute to cement between France and Russia
that union which insures the general peace by one
of the most desirable of guarantees."
To which the Emperor replied:
Monsieur le Comte,—As soon as the Treaty
of Paris was signed, it became my constant care,
without weakening my anoient alliance, to soften,
by kind acts,( sous procedes, ) all that which the
strict execution of certain conditions might make
severe. I learned with pleasure that my embassa
dor at St. Petersburg, animated by these senti
ments, had succeeded in gaining the good will of
the Emperor Alexander. The same welcome
awaits you here, you may rest assured, because,
independently of your own personal merits, you
represent a sovereign, who so nobly knows how
to impose silence on sad reminiscences, which war
too often leaves behind, to think only of the ad
vantages of a sincere peace by entertaining friend
ly relations."
A fresh campaign is preparing for religions lib
erty in France. We have to gain one after anoth
er, all the positions which we thought were car
ried long ago, by the simple fact of the acknowl
edgment of our rights by the Government. The
inferior authorities are filled with the spirit of op
position, and the mayors, instruments of the cures,
defend with their proces verbaux the ground upon
which pastors and evangelists strive to open meet
ings. The Government seems to be favorably
disposed, and the Minister is reported to have
said, in reference to Independent Christians, " Let
them make themselves known to us, and we will
put them on the same footing as the other Pro
testants.'
Ruse
According to the treaty of peace, Russia is on
ly to have a certain number of vessels of war in
the Black Sea, but the new Steam Navigation
Company will have twenty-six post steamers, six
other steamers, ten tug steamers, and twenty
" barques." The crews of these vessels are to
have the same uniform and discipline as the sail
ore who are in the Imperial service.

ROME, Nov. 6.—Pio Nono frequently shows
himself superior to the traditional prejudices of
his station, and breaks . through the trammels of
etiquette which successive ages have established
around the Papal throne. He gave a specimen of
this kind of independence last week, by reviewing
in person five battalions of Roman infantry in the
Farnesina meadows, near Pontelle, au event
certainly without precedent in the memory of
man, and for many years before, although not un
common in the turbulent periOs of the middle
ages, when warlike pontiffs, like Julius IL, grasped
with equal vigor the sword and the crosier.
Africa
IMPORTANT EXPEDITION FOR EXPLORATION OF
THE SOURCES OF THE NILE.—Le Lihme de Seer
announces the arrival at Alexandria, at the begin
ning of last month, of Count Escayvacde Lanture,
accompanied by the greatest part of the members
(English, German, American, and Italians) of the
scientific exploratory expedition which the Viceroy
of Egypt has resolved to send, with the assistance
of a military force, toward the centre of Africa,
and even to the equator. Egyptian posts have
already been established up to the 4th degree ; and
the expedition, which it is intended shall ascend
the White Nile, is so well provided with extraor
dinary means, that it is thought it will have a bet
ter chance than any former expedition to dis
cover, at length, the mysterious sources of the
Nile.

Mrs. 'Whitaker emigrated to this country in very early

Corning as a youthful stranger into our community, she
soon evinced, by her conscientious deportment, that theex
ample and counsels of a pions mother had not been forgot
ten. Those who knew her best, testify to the sincerity of
her piety. Since last August, she had endured the suffer.

of April, 1775, an offspring of a pious race; was early united
with the Church on profession of her faith; andbeeame the
trife of a truly devout servant of God, with whom she
walked a life of faith for nearly fifty years. Her character
was remarkable for its gentle graces and uniform cheerfnl
ness, even to the extreme of old age. Her trust in God was
uniform and abiding; and peculiar, and long-continued, and
severe Milldams were only a means of fixing her thoughts
and affections nekre decidedly and completely on things
above. To her, sudden death was sudden glory. And while
the loss of such a member of the Church is a great hiss to
all those who remain, we need only weep for ourielves; for
all that is comforting, and hopeful, and desirable in the
death of God's people, marked her departure to that land of
light, "Where the wicked cease from troubling, and the
weary are at rest?' E.
