The Unton rejoices over the New Hamp- shire eleotion, wherein the Democrats havo gained about 8,000 on the popular vote and 126 members of the Legislature. Of the re- Port, of Judge Douglas, read in the Senate yesterday, the Union says: “Mr. Douglas made a report, as chairman of the Committee on Territories, on yesterday, which is destined to exert a powerful influ- ence on the popular decision of the questions invotved in the Kansas difficulties. It is the most thorough and elaborate investigation of these questions that has ever been made, and is marked by a depth of research and a power of argument which will place it amongst the ablest State papers that have at any time emanated from Congress Mr. Douglas sus- tains unanswerably the positions on which all truly national men stand in regard to the slavery question. He has erec! a bulwark of historical truth, conclusive reasoning, and constitutional deduction which will defy the attacks of the champions of sectionalism We will not undertake, from merely hearing the report read, te ape & synopsis of its con. tents. If its length sball prevent us from publishing it entire, which we should much Tegret we will at least make such copious extracts in our next issue that our readers will be fully able to appreciate Mr Douglas’s unanswerable facts, his unassailable reason- ing, and his impregnable conclusions.” The Intelligencer quotes Mr. Washburne’s opinion of the great value of Mr. Flagg’s “Rie port on the Commercial Relations of the United States,”” prepared under the direction of the Secretary of State under a resolution of Con- grese, and joins that gentleman in profusely complimenting the author and his work. ————_—- #e+e-__ _ Hore Ox !—The Pacific has now been at zea over fifty days, and there are no definite tidings of ber. A dispatch from Glasgow brought by the Arabia, says: “The steamer Edinburgh, from New York, passed, Feb. 7, large quantities of broken ice Saw in it a quantity of broken cabinet furni- ture, together with five ornamental doors. with white or glass hand!.:, a ladies’ wo-k box, and other articles, sach as are common in the cabins of first class steamers.” This gives rise to fearful apprehensions, but onthe other hand, the N Y. Mirror says thatif the Pacifie entered the immense ice fields, seen and reported by various other vessels, she might have become so entirely surrounded and /ocked in, as to be compelled to remain until the ice gave way. Caxapian Opixion.—The Montreal Herald impartially gives it readers the correspond- ence on the ‘Enlistment question,” approving the President’s publication of the same, and expressing its opinion “that Lord Palmerston would have acted more wisely had he consent- ed to lay it before the British Parliament and people, asealled for by Mr. Roebuck. The Montreal editor also copies an article from the Liverpool Times, which concludes thus : “We fear that Mr Crampton is not a very Prudent man, asno one with due reflection would have countenanced such a poliey, which commenced in ridicule and is in a fair way of terminatirg in blood. If it be true as we have seen it stated, thathe left Washington for Nova Scotia to promote the enlistment, we can only easy that his indiscretion ought to have icduced the British Government to recall him without shay ay oe demand of the kind to proceed from the head of the American Gov- ernment. He ought to have known better than to actin this way, and a man who has resided so long in America, and evinced such ignorance of the naticnal character as not to bave anticipated the outburst which conduct like this sure to provoke, is clearly un- fit for the bigh duties confided to his hands.” Seesipreeernegycesteiigcntsasies AnotaeR American Triumps.—The follow ing article, translated from the Paris Moni- teur of February 21st, is the record of another victory gained by American inventive talent in Europe : ‘ The Emperor, accompanied by the Minister of War, an aid-de-camp, and an officer of ord nance, went on the 2d of February to the Seine, near the Military School, to witness some experiments made to exhibit the quali- ties cf « military carriage, of corrugated meta}, that Mr. Francis, of New York, had constructed to present to his Majesty. “Mr. Francis commenced by giving some in. formation on the mode of construction, and on the processes employed in giving great strength to a very thin and very light metal, and furnished a proof of it by striking the wagon body with all his strength, blows redoubled, and at the same point, with a large, long handled hammer. ¢ afterwards caused the wagon, with all its equipments, to be launched in the water, were it floated like a boat The men who were in it, to the number of sixteen, placed themselves in a mass on the sides, without being able, in spite of all their efforts, tomake the sides sink tothe level of the water. The wagon was afterwards taken into the current of the river, to show that a load could by this means be trasported from one bank to the other, without being necessary to take off the wheels, so that atrain of these wagons could continue to follow their route without delay. ‘* Afterwards, the running-gear having been detached, the body was mancuvred separate- ly, like a boat, with oars _‘* These experiments obtained the approba- tion of bis Majesty, who had the goodness twice to call Mr. Francis and congratulate him on his success “ The Emperor caused — detailed infopmation oats, which have obtained great celebri ’ and of which the models ‘iene pig After a minute examination, which lasted more than an hour, his Majesty showed the interest which he took in these iuventions a3 being an important improvement for the ~rmy and ma- rine service. ‘‘ At the same time Mr. Francis informed his Majesty of official news Teceived from the United States army, giving account of an ex- pedition of 1,500 wiles over very bad routes— a» expédition during which hia wagons had crossed rivers, floating with their cargoes from ene shore to the other, without any water- course baving been able to arrest their march.” i The coupon bonds held by Geo. Pea- body & Co , London, under a transfer from Seldon, Withers & Co » lost in the steamer Arctic, and now prayed to be replaced by a new issue, are classed by the Petersburg In- telligencer among “the mysteries of finance ” te The work on Steven’s Steam B fur the defence of New York Hares, bes been resumed with some pros ct, after all the knowing ones say, of leh it in the course of another twelvemonth. Teport that application has been, or is to be made to — for another sppropriation, isa mis- Mr. Francis to give about his metallic WASHINGTON NEWS ARD GOssIP, Saving Life —It affords us great pleasure to publish the following report from an officer of the United States Revenue Marine, which demonstrates most eloquently and forcibly the great benefit resulting from the system of using the Revenue Cutters of the Government as relief ships on our inclement and dangerous coasts, in the winter, when their services can be spared to make the hazardous and gallant voyages incident to such efforts in the cause of humanity. Surely no one interested in commerce on the ocean can fail to appreciate the debt of gratitude due from merchant-ship Owners, masters and crews, to the Secretary of the Treasury, to whom the country is in- debted for the initiation and succeseful prose cution of this new system of employing the vessels under the Treasury Department’s orders during the season of disastrous ship- wrecks upon the coats of the United States. The report is dated “ U. 8. Revenue Cutter Caleb Cushing, Harbor of Portland, Maine, March 5th, 1856,” and is as follows: Sir: I have the honor to report the arrival of this vessel at this anchorage this morning, at 2a.m. Cape Elizabeth Lights, bearing north four miles, it being very dark and cloudy, heard loud and phan J cries appa rently coming from persons in distress, I im- mediately dispatched an officer and six men in the direction of the sound. At3a m. the boat returned on board, having taken from the rigging the first officer and five seamen of the bark David Nichols of Searsport, Me., Capt. F. C. Sweet, with cargo of molasses, for Portland. They reported that the vessel was going eight knots, and striking some floating ice whic roved to be very thick, she wes out through, and sank immediately in nine fathoms of water. They also reported that the captain, second officer, and one seaman bad succeeded in getting on some planks which were found drifting about the vessel, with the hope of reaching the shore. I a a boat in search of them. A 4.30, a. m, the boat returned, having eucceeded in finding the second officer and seaman. They were found in the ice, which was drifting in large quantities around them. The Captain had fullen through the ice and perished. Four of the men, one much frosted, during the day, remained around the wreck, and succeeded in saving a part of her sails and rigging At 4, p. m., recovered the body of the captain and took it on board. At5, p.m, got under weigh, and have run into this port. So soon as the men and mate- tials saved can be landed, I will immediately go to sea again. I am, sir, with high respect, your most cbe- dient servant, Green Wapron, Capt. U.S. R. M. Hon. J. Guthrie, Sec’ ry of the Treas’y, &c. The Caucus.—The Republican managers in Congress are chagrined ever their want of success in the result of their caucus convened in the House hall on Tuesday night last. They hoped that they would have roped in more or less of the National Know Nothings, to go there and pledge themselves to support any candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency who may be nominated by the Republican party. They had previously bagged Messrs. Campbell, Purviance, Todd, and one or two others, of Pennsylvania, and Measrs. Pelton and Wakeman, of New York, elected rather as American-party men than as anti-slaveryites, and expected fully to se- cure at least half a dozen more. But their “haul”? was a dry one. Not an additional soft or ‘- green’’ customer fell into the meshes of their net; and what was worse, it was found that nearly a dozen of those who voted for Mr. Banks, took occasion to make it plain that they are not going to act in the fall with the Republican organization. These gentle- men having already seen quite enough for their shilling, not only failed to attend, but gave as their reason for so doing their want of identification or sympathy with the new party. for whose benefit the caucus was called. The Fire-Arms Men.—Among those from a distance now in Washington, are an unusually large number of gentlemen interested in pat- ent arms; the consideration in Congress of the bill to increase the efficiency of the army, which proposes to expend a considerable sum in improved fire arms, having attracted them hither. They have, among them, a dozen different kinds cf rifles, muskets, pistols, &c., nearly all of them being decided improve- ments on the arms now in use in the public service. An inspection of their samples shows that we are advancing quite as rapidly in the art of killing as in any other art whatever. The difficulty will be in deciding which of the very many decided improvements will be most available for the public service. The class of persons who have them in charge, ure famous for carrying smooth tongues in their heads, and are generally able to argue, each in favor of his own gun, as astutely as any Philadelphia lawyer, for his client. The War Department and the House and Senate Com- mittees on Military Affairs may make up their minds te undergo a cross-fire ordeal from them, almost as much to be dreaded as a crose- fire from their several patent weapons, The Case of Dr. Simons.—The reader will find on the outside of the Scar of this date, sundry affidavits bearing on the case of Dr. Simons, lately dismissed from the army in ac- cordance with the decision of a court martial, for leaving his post during the prevalence of cholera there. It is to be regretted that the evidence embraced in these affidavits was not before the court martial, whose action made it obligatory under the circumstances, on the President, to sever the connection of Dr. 8. with the army. No gentleman connected with it has a larger circle of personal friends, all of whom retain their confidence in him as a chivalrous, accomplished and high toned gen- tleman and professional man. We are per- suaded that among the most disagreeable duties the present Executive has been called on to perform, was that of acting on the evi- dence before the court martial and its finding, rather than on all the factsof Dr. Simons’s case, as they are now coming to light. ' Sleeping in ‘‘Meetin’."—We have fre- quently heard of a fact that was forcibly called toour mind, yesterday, in the House hall— viz: that Horace Greeley almost invariably falls asleep when inchurch. Parson Trafton, of Mass., was addressing the House upon the Kansas contested election case, his style of oratory being critically julpitish; more so than that of any other member we ever heard inthe chamber. Horace went into a balmy slumber shortly after the reverend gentleman commenced his effort,-and sat fast asleep in one of the reporter’s clevated seats, in full view of and facing the House, until the con- clusion of Mr. T.’shour! ' In a Bad Way.—Elsewhere we comment to- day on7the disappointment of the Republican party managers over their failure to gain a single point through their caucus of the night before Iast. But that is by no means the worst of their present troubles. They have come to the couc:usien that it wi he impos sible for them to winin November ucxt unless | they conciliate and form a junction with the National Ameripans.. That can only be ac complished by the surrender of a portion of their ultraism on the slavery question. To make any such surrender wiil be to insure that their ultra anti-slavery wing—the life, soul, bone, sinew and muscle of their present organisation—will promptly desert them for the Abolition party of Gerritt Smith, Tappan & Co. Thus, they are between two fires, and cannot eccape one without rushing into the other. A jolly time of it they are having, truly. The U_ 8S. Sloop-of-war Portsmouth is now preparing at the Norfolk (Va ) navy yard, to join the East India squadron. The following are the officers who have been ordered to join her, viz : Commander, A. H. Foote; Lieuten ants—Wm. H. Macomb, H. K. Davenport, Edward Simpson, P. G. Watmough; Master, Fras. E. Shepperd ; Surgeon, Andrew A. Hen- derson ; Assistant Surgeon, John Vansant; Acting Boatswain, Paul Atkinson; Gunner, James A Gates; Carpenter, Joseph G@. Myers; Sailmaker, George C. Boerum. The Wheeling, Va., Custom House and Post Office, &c.—We learn that the Treasury Department have called, by publication, for the proposals for the construction uf the new Government building at Wheeling, Va., to accommodate the custom house, post office and United States courts there. Resignation of an Army Officer.—The res- ignations of Captain Thomas R. McConnell, 4th infantry, and Second Lieut, Edwin F. Townsend, 3d artillery, have been accepted by the President, to take effect March 11, 1856. Death of Army Officer —Captain Charles F. Wooster, 4th artillery, died at Fort Brown, Texas, February 14, 1856.

In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to press, Mr. Douglas concluded his report from the majority of the Territories Committee on Kansas affairs. It embraces a history of Amer- ican slavery in this country, and enters at some length into its constitutional relations It states that the institution existed in all the colonies; and of the original thirteen States, six have retained it, while in seven it has been abolished Since then, eighteen new States have been admitted into the Union, nine of which has chosen to come in as free States, and nine as slave States. Every new State desiring admission into the Union has a right to come in on terms of equality with the old States, regulating her domestic institu- tions and internal concerns in her own way, subject to the Constitution The report refers to this principle as embo- died in the Nebraska aad Kansas bill, and condemns the combinations entered into in certain sections of the country to control the destiny of the future State of Kansas; quotes extracts from a pamphlet entitled ‘Organiza- tion, Objects atid Plas and Operations of the Emigrant Aid Society,’ also ‘‘A Description of Kansas for the Information of Emigrants.” The report argues that no State hag a right to pass a law with regard to any Territory which itcould not pass in reference to any other State, or any foreign government, and proceeds to give a detailed history of the elections held in Kansas, at which the territorial legislature was chose’ It denies that the illegal votes said to have been cast nullify the election, or that the removal of the seat of government rendered the action of the legislature null and void. Next the report discusses the Topeka Oon- vention declares that the power to govern a territory being vested in Congress, the people have no right to annul territorial laws by ac- tion in a private capacity. Itis proposed to carry out the recommendations of the Presi- dent in his special message, by the passage of an act providing for the election of delegates by the people to assemble in convention and form a State constitution preparatory to admis- sion into the Union on an equal footing with original States, as soon as the population shall amount to 93,420 souls; and the committee will also move an amendment to the general appropriation bill, appropriating such an amount as may be found necessary for the purposes of maimtaing good order and enforc- bs sy execution of the laws in Kansas, r Collamer presented a minority report from the same committee; which was also read at length for the information of the Sen- ate. It takes the anti-slavery side of the questions involved in the Kansas embrogiio, and embraces the pens and pleas cem- mon to the oratorical efforts in favor of that cause. On @ motion to print these reports a debate eprang up on their merits respectively, where- in Messrs. Sumner, Douglas, Brown, Seward, Wade, Pugh, and others participated; when the motion to print was agreed to. Sundry reports of committees were then made ; after which they adjourned. In the Houses, Mr. Trafton concluded his speech in favor of the resolution authorizing the Elections Committee to send for persons and papers in the Kansas contested election case. r. Davis, of Md, addressed the House against the resolution. t. Wakeman argued at length in its favor. And then, pending a motion to adjourn, Mr Meacham, from the Committee on the District of Columbia, reported a bill to define the rights of voters and the duties of commis- sioners of elections in the city of Washington, and for other purposes; which was read twice. [This bill is substantially the same as that heretofore introduced by Mr. Meacham. and referred to the Committee on the District of Columbia. It omits, however, the provision which makes the oath of a person whose right to vote is challenged prima facie evidence of the —- of that right; and also provides for those persons whose names may have been omitted from the poll list by the assessors. | Mr. Meacham moved that the bill be refer- red to the Committee of the Wholg on the state of the Union. ‘ Mr. Jones, of Tenn., didnot think that the bil) contained any thing that required the reference proposed by the gentleman from Vermont. He suggested that it be postponed until Tuesday next Mr. Meacham modified his motion in accor- dance with the suggestion of the gentleman ; and it wag agreed to. And then the House adjourned. _ Vote —Among the resolutions introduced into the House yesterday, and adopted, was one moved by Mr. Galloway, as follows : Resolved, That the Judiciary Committee be requested to inquire into the judicial expenses of the District of Columbia, and to suggest such amendments to the laws regulating the same as may be deemed proper. Proceedings ef Te-Day. In the Senate, to-day, before we went to press, a number of petitions and bills were introduced, and sundry reports were made. Nothing of public interest transpired in that chamber up to that hour, when they were about again taking up Mr. Bigler’s resolution to subseribe for — copies of ‘‘Kang’s Arctic ition,’’ with Mr. Brodhead’ amend- ment to reward Dr. K. with $25,000, instead of subsoribing for his books for the use of the Senate, An the House, Mr. Ready presented resolu- tions of the Tennessee Legislature in favor of lightening the duties on railroad iron. Mr. RB. moved their reference to the Com- merce Committee. This motion was debated by Messrs. Jones of Tennessee, Campbell of Pennsylvania, Campbell of Ohio, and Ritchie, in favor of its reference to the Ways and Means Committee ; which was a, to Mr. Ready introduced a bill to remit and refund the duty on railroad iron; referred to the Ways and Means Committee. Shortly afterwards the House proceeded to the consideration of the special order—the resolution authorizing the Elections Commit- tee to send for persons and papers in the Kansas contested election case. Mr. Purviance, who was entitled to the floor, addressed the House in favor of the resolution. PERSONAL. +++ D’Aroy McGee lectures in Philadelphia to-night. +++ Hon. Jacob A. Westervel, of N.

[tis thought that steamboats can ascend the Missouri as far as the Great Fall, from which point keel boats ascend the tributaries that have their sources in the vieinity of the headwaters of Snake and Green rivers, whence goods can be wagoned a short distance to either Green or Bear river. By Green river, flat boats will bring freight within one hundred and sixty miles of Salt Lake city, and by Bear river within sixty, but requiring aglonger stretch of wogoning from the Missouri tributary; so that the advantages are about ae, unless the state of the wagon rords should give a preference. Last year, six firms of Great Salt Lake city had carried there at a cost of seventeen cents per 1b, five hundred and thirteen tons of merchandise, requiring three hundred and four wagons, and three thousand two hundred and ten oxen, with a loss of seven hundred and twenty-two of the latter. This great transpcr- tation tax, which is a heavy burden to the in- habitants of Utah, could be no doubt materi- ally reduced™ by the projected route, besides Riving a greater impetuosity to trade between there and the States. ———————— Bem MEDICAL INSTRUCTION —In or- der to complete his class, Dr. J.
