Business of Congress—The Senate—Railroad to With the termoation of “he session staring them in the face, and a vast quantity of minor, but scarcely Jess important business, pressing for completion, .both houses ef Congress seem now resolved to relinquish the project of instituting a government for the, provinces. To extend our laws over Oregon 18 the most they will do this session—at least, such is the probability. Cul forma and New Mexico are to be suffered to re- main without protection and law, because neither party will come to terms on the slavery ques- tion, The whig organ here, declares Ney Mexico and California must be left to them- selves this session; and, as it is in the power of the majonty of the house to defeat all efforts at compromise, it is probable the organ speaks ex cathedra. Mr. Benton has introduced a bill which, of course, will not obtain the support of the Calhoun party, simply because it is Mr. Benton’s bill. Indeed, there is not much in it, and Mr. Benton need not have made so much fuss about it. It merely declares that the new provinces shall remain under the laws that have heretofore governed them; but, as declaratory of that uni- yersally received principle, the bill is superfluous. The Senate is every day making most disgrace- ful exhibitions of indiseretion and folly. Mr. Hannegen, on Saturday, gave notice that he would introduce a bill for the government Of the new ter- Titories; and yesterday, instead of the bill, he en- tertained the Senate with a more than ordinarily foolish speech—reading the body a lecture for fol- lies of which he has been among the most guilty. Mr. Breese, trembling for his re-election, tries what will make him most popular, and at length hitsupon a resolution, giving three months extra pay to the soldiers; in order to make as much ca- ital as possible out of it, he obtains, through Mr, Polk. in whose service he has worked hard, an editorial notice of this resolution in the organ, and copies of that organ are distributed “in numbers numberless,” through Ulinois. Mr. Polk, in or- dering ihe publication, has two ends in view—to oblige a faithful servant, and at the same time to help to deieat the election to the Senate of a man who scorned to purchase his influence by lending himself to be an mstrument of baseness in the Pillow affair, i The bill granting certain portions of the public lands to Mr. Whitney, for the purpose of construct- ing aratlioad to Oregon, was virtually killed on Saturday. Mr. Benton opposed it on three grounds —first, that he himself had written on the subject thirty years ago (about, the time he read Humboldt and studied the art of war) before Mr. Whitney had thought of it; secondly, that the country should be surveyed ; and, thirdly, that Mr. Whii- ney is not as wealthy as John Jacob Astor, de- ceased. The deductions from those prem. Mr. Benton did not draw, but they are self-evi- dent ; first, that he himself, as fir: overer ot this scheme, bas a prior right to tke contract, if any be made; ondly, (and this is rather a coroilary than a deduction) that somebody, who has been over the ground before, is the best per- son to survey it; «nd, thirdly, that Mr. Whitney, not being quite as wealthy he late John Jacob Astor, is notto be trusted. Thisisnot the firsttime Mr, Benton has drawn a most ridiculously conta- melious distinction between the ric id poor contractor, to the prejudice of the latter. Such words from the lips of a democratic Senator, are not only absurd, but indecent. I speak not of the merits of Mr. Whitney’s project. That,subject has been fully discussed, and the legislatures of se eighteen es have spoken in favor of it; but it isa most strange doctrine for a democratic Sena- tor to advance in his place, that a man is not to be trusted because he has not a superiluity of wordly wealth. Mr. Breese, too, voted inst this bill in defiance of the instructions of his ature, and in contradiction. of his own report. It is amusing tosee a Senator making a long report in favor of a measure one session, and voting against it the “xt; but such contradictions and inconsistencies mere trifles with Mr. Bree GaLviENsis.

ELIX. Wasurncron, August 1, 1848. A Shocking Occurrence—The Slave Case. Intelligence of a most distressing character was communicated to the Hon. Samuel O. Peyton, member of the House of Representatives for the third Congressional District of Kentucky, by tele- greph, last night. The particulars, as we have been able to gather them, are as follows :— It appears that a daughter of Mr. Peyton eloped a day or two since, from her father’s house in Ken- tucky, with a young man, who was persona known to her family. When the parties returned, man and wife, Mr. Peyton's brother remonstrated with the young man vpon his conduct in thus en- ticing away his niece, and representing that the honorable course would have been to have de- manded the young lady's hand of her father. Re- criminations followed, when, shocking to relate, the young man pulled out a pistol and shot his wife's unc'e dead! . The shosk of this dreadful act afieeted Mrs. Pey- ton eo much that her life was despaired of, when the telegraphic dispatch was forwarded. Mr. Pe ton, half distrested, ummediately started for his ily une Se canhanagehiineans ‘Wasurnoron, August 1, 1818. | being to this lors? upon: Seaeiell preceding day. ‘tables, next mora- ing, for circulation, rapes. of the de- betee of the sketches of letter-writers and the reports of the Herald, ving an rrent of the proceedings,have us rendered the official reports of the Senate (coming out some days behind hand) null and void, except for purposes of future reference, their whole effect as a contemporaneous record being lost by delay. The result has been, that but for the reports of the Herald and the, letter-writera, the proceedings of the Senate during the present session would have lost their effect upon the pub- hie and on the Senate itself. The Intellegencer and the Union whose usage heretofore has been to give a report of the Senate, corresponding to. that of the House, have, during the present session, ex- cepting a mere outline of each day, surrendered the Senate to the official reporter. These papers being relied yen by the party presses of the coun- try,the result has been, that while the debates have been veiled in comparative ebseurity, the House has had the advantage of being represented prompt- ly in each day’s debate to the whule country The Senate have felt this deficiency ; and but for the reports of the Herald, they would have felt itstill more. The object of the joint committee 1s to fill up this vacuum. 5 The plan next to be adopted, we understand, is to be a new plan. The Intellegencer and the Union, to get on with a daily issue, require a little help from the government. They always have required it heretofore, and it has always been expected in the job printing of one or both houses. This has been taken away by contract ; and Wendell, Van sen & Co, have cut them out of the work, though their bids were unprecedentedly low, and they will, probably make some $50,000 clear money by the operation, m spite of the disadvan- tages of fitting up a new office out and out. The official reports of the Mexican war ; the official explorations of New Mexico and California ; the reasury reports; the re of the Fre- mont comt mertial; tne extras of the Presi- dent’s me: and documents ; the numerous reports of committees, will swell up the public printing of this Congress to an extraordinary amount f ‘ The Union and Intelligencer being deprived of fat business, and the two houses being desi s of a daily report of their debates in these pa- end these papers requiring a little pap, to port a daily issue, we understand the Come mittee will mest likely adept a plan of assigning them the publicat of their reports, of both Houses, and give them a bounty of some $10,000 or $15,000 each, to pay for orters, composition, &e., in part; the said papers to furnish each Tiouse with a given number of pspers.

Returning from the Wars—Detention of the Mai —Foreign Passengers— Telegraph Completion, Our city is well filled with returaed voluateers, as the Norfolk boat daily brings up a large num- ber of the Virginia boys from Fortress Moar The poor fellows, as they leap on shore, seemin a perfect ecstacy of delight to breathe once more the air of freedom; for what kind of slayery can be | more irksome than that exercised by most officers | over their men?

The mail train from Philadelphia, due at six o’clock yesterday morning, did not arrive mtil two o’clock in the afternoon, having run ofi.the track near Havre de Grace. 2 During the past menth there arrived at this port 721 foreign passengers. The number of passen- gers from Bremen this year is very small, and the reason is said to be, that the German vessels are doubtful about leaving port whilst the Danish fleet is enforcing a blockade. A large number of Ger- man vessels are now in port here, and decline to take a cargo for Bremen under these circum. stances. Major Po!

On motion of Mr. Saturn, of Indiana, the House re- solved itself Into a Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union—Mr. Morehead in the chair. resumed the consideration of the bill to establish territorial government for Oregon. An amendment, offered by Mr Rocxwett, of Con- necticut, was agreed to—confirming six hundred and forty res, together with the improvements thereon, to vere! mission stations.

The question of slavery ia spring- pg up In every possible form, whether legitimately or not,in this hall. My object is that the slavery quos- tion ehall Cas ae back on us again. We, as South- ern men, (I speak for myself, at least.) are willing that it shall be controlled by the cttisend of the teritory. The cloud was no bigger than a man’shand. Ihave watched that cloud, and, in my humble opinion, it is now large enough to burst, with a little exertion on our part,on our heads, and almost dissolve the Union. And | am not prepared to let the opportunity pass without endeavoring to insert @ clause never to let the question come back again cn us. Iam willing that the citizens of Oregon shall determine the question for themselves, If they say that slavery shail not exist there, amen ; but let them not send the question here again.

He said ight of suffrage to | | port. As this knife was identified as the | of the murdered ma that the only compromise and straight-forward course was to prohibit slavery in the territories, He believed that this was the sentiment of the American peoplo. Mr. Tvex’s amendment to the amendment was te- jected. Mr. Bayiy made a five minutes’ reply to remarks delivered by Mr. C. B Smith yesterday. Mr. Vas Dyxe said that the South fanned the flame of excitement by insisting that. slaves should go into Oregon. If the South will only give up this claim, they will do more to quict agitation than a month’s legis- lation, An amendment to the amendment was adopted, that all kinds of property may be taken into Orogon “ except raves.” Mr. Jonson, of Arkansas, replied to Mr. Van Dyke, the territories, and wishing to shut out the South. Mr. Screncx said that there was a direct proposition to establish lavery there, and that the House were called upon to sanction it, He believed that there is property in slaves, but not by the constitution. But we want no more of slavery, and of unequal represen- tation in Congress. If we keep the territories free, they will come in as free States. Various amendments to the amendment of Mr. Hil- Hard, were offered; an ually, Mr. Hilliard, by gene- ral consent, withdrew his amendment. An effort was made to strike out the remainder of the twelfth section, the first part ing been stricken out on motion of Mr. Sawyer, as above givea; but the motion did not prevail—Ayes. 05; Noes, 93.

Tracepy in Lovisiana.—Mr. O’Brien, of the parish of Bossier, La., wes found dead on the 6th instant, in the read leading from Belle Vue to his jouse, about a mile and a half from the courthouse. The murderer is supposed to have been a runaway on his way home from Belle Vue, last Wednesday evening. He left Bossier about an hour before sunset, on horseback, having a gun, pouch and hunting knife. The knife was found on the ground where a scvifle took place, and the first marks of blood were seen. The horse, gun and pouch are missing. O’Brien’s skull was broken open, and his jaw horribly mangled with blows from a stick. He had been dragged off into the bushes some 150 — from the scene of the scnfile, and evidently hy a single man, for occasional puddles of blood showed where the murderer had paused to rest a momest, while dragging his victim away. At one of these resting places the bloody club was found with which it is supposed the dead was done. But the most shocking scene of all must have been that when the poor victim, left for dead in the bushes, at lastcame to himself, and inch by inch crept back to the road, and even down the road for a considerable distance, before he had to lie down and die, Tis progress in this desperate attempt to reach his home is marked with blood. Three or four days after this tragedy had ocewrred, a run- away negro appeared at Mr. Gilmore’s Buckhall plantation. He gave a knife to one of the hands, to induce the boy io guide him on his way to Shreve- property. {thes an, no doubt was entertained of his being the murderer. Mr, Barnum stationed himeelt at a bridge over which it was thought the fugitive must pass, while he posted one of the hands with a loaded gun at the negro quarter, giving strict orders should he re-appear and refuse to surrender to shoot him—thinking, perhaps, that the culprit would return for food. Soon after this arrangement had been made, a skiff appeared in the river close to the biidge with anegro on board. Mr. Barnum hailed and ordered him to land, but instead of complying, the jvilow lay down flat_on the bottom. Mr. Barnum shot at him, he flonnder- ed and upset the boat. Ife arose once to the sur- face of the water and then sunk to rise no more.— Menden Tri Novet Lyxcu Law,.—Two old Jew clothesmen, with venerable beards, were passing a stable in Tottenham Court road, when a couple of jackets so fascinated them, that they could not resist the temptation of giving them a place with their own wares. While they were secreting the jackets, the two owners, who were drinking porter on the opposite side of the way, having observed the transaction, seized the rabbies, and having locked them ina stable, went in quest of certain prepara- tions, which promised better things than a gaol, or lawyer’s wig, or even a fine, They then tied the rabbies together, matted their beards, and smeared them with warm shoemaker’s wax. As soon as the wax was cooled, and the people around had sufficiently enjoyed the sight of the venerable patriarchs in this paternal embrace, the postillion applied to each nose, at intervals, sundry pinches of snufl, which occasioned such a concussion of noses, and such a spattering, that the immense assemblage who witnessed this spectacle of retri- butive justice, departed highly pleased with it.— ‘Treasuyy Notes outstanding Ist August, 1848, Treasvny Deranrmenr, { Amount outstanding of the several issues prior to the act of 22d July, 1546, ax per records of Amount outstanding of the ism July, 1846, a8 per records of thi 961,350 00 January, 1847, as per records of thi London Sunday News, July 9.

Suspicion immediately rested upon Pride, and since that time no clue was found his whereabouts until within the last few days, when the officers succeeded, yosterday, in making the arrest. Thus are the suspicions which caused his arrest. all of which Mr. Pride declares to be false, and merely a conspiracy got up, by some theatrical rival, to ruin his fair reputation.
