CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK ERRALD. } Wasnincrox, Feb. 12, 1858, There has heen for some days past, a good dea! of tribu lation amongst the hunkers and barnburners, both in Now York and in the delegation here, in consequence of the statement of Mr. D. R. Sickles, who had been to Con- cord, that General Pierce spoke very much as if he had dotermined to place Goy. Marcy, with the “patch,” in his cabinet. At the solicitation of the New York junta, even the barnburners in Congress united, day before yes- terday, in a protest to General Pierce, couched in the strongest language, aguinst Goy. Marcy’s nomination. But a despate) ved this morning has restored har- mony. It appears that General Pierce has offered Mr. A. C. Flagg, the present able Comptroller of tho city of New | York, the post of Secretary of the Treasury, and it has leaked out in consequence of Mr. Flagg’s consulting his friends a8 to his acceptance, and consequent resignation of the Comptrollership. ‘The appointment has given un bounded eatisfaction to the barnburner delegation, who inet in caucus this morning upon it. I stated early in the winter that Gen, Cass had been Ato recominend a Cabinet officer, and that he had resented Governor McClelland, of Michigan, for Postmas- tor General. It is ascertained on unquestionable autho- rity that he lns been offered the position, and also that Mr Buchanan has performed a similar service, with like success, for Judge Campbell, of Pennsylvania. Here, then, with Mr. Cushing for the State, Commodore Stockton, o! | -y, for the Navy, Mr. Dobbin, of North Carolina, inferior, and Jefferson Davis for the War Depart- | ment, the fog ia removed beyond al) doubt. | A letter has been received from General Pierce stating | | | for that his entire Cabinet is formed, and from Mr. Flagg’s tion, it ts evident it goos upon the basis of recogniz~ U1 shades of the party. he President has sent in several nominations for for- elon missions, The Senate bas determined not to act many of them, Among the number is that of ‘Theo ‘lore Fay, Secretary of the Berlin Mission, to be Oharge to | switverlund, X.Y. 2. {Puke AIR LINE RAILROAD—APPOLNS FROM A REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.

(Laughter.) The petition was referred. ij ‘THE FISHERY QUPSTION, Mr. Davis, (whiz) of Mass., reported the bill which he intredueed Tast week, proposing reciprocal fAshing rights snd privileges between the American and British fisher- men ju the waters of both countres. It waa taken up, when Mr. Davis urged its passage, and said that unless this subject was arranged now, difficulties might hero- after oceur of a serious nature. Mr. Mattory, (em.) of Fla., said this bill would have the effect to introduce into the important fisheries of the Southern waters, a class of people they have no desire to seeintroduced. He hoped it wonld lay over till Monday, that he might have time to preparo an amendment, ‘The bill was postponed. FEES OF JUDICLA, OVPICHRS, |, regulating the feos to be allowed to the clerks, marshalls, attorneys, solicitors, proctors, snd others, in the United States courts, was taken up. Various amendments reported by the Judiciary [Com- mittee, were debated and agreed to. Mr. Wanken (dem.) of Wis., moved to amend the Dill by providing that no Judge shall appoint or continue in office, as clerk of a court, his brother or son, Mr. Baron, (dem.) of Ia., moved to anand the amend- ment by providing that all clerks of United States courts, hereafter appointed, sball be appointed by tho Prosident, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, for four yeare. Messrs. Boru, amendment Mr. Bricur supported bis amendment. Ho said that Judges of the United States courts were no more perfect than were Judges of State courts, the clerks of which were elected by the people, and not appointed by the courts, He was notin favor of increasing patronage for ‘the House Bapa , and Dovaras opposed the his party, though whenever an oflice was tobe filled, he preferred and always voted to fill it with a political friend, no matter what she oflice was, from Fudge of the Supreme Court down, Mr. Bavonr, (whig) of N.C., replied, and said that as to the Senator's remark about the Judgeship of the Su- preme Court, he would submit it to the good tasto and ronse of decency of the Senate, without further comment. Mr. Ruraur said he spoke generally, and if the Senator thongint the reference to a of the Supreme Coust was intended to apply to him, lo was much mistaken. Mr. DiaGst's amendment, and Mr, Walkor's, too, were rejected. jpiither amendments were offered, all of which ure re jected. The bill, as amonded, was then passed. PROPOSITION TO INCASE THE EPPICIRNCY OF THN ARMY. Mr. Smaps, (dema.) of IIL, eallod up the bill to increase the efficiency of the army, by abolishing the present staf organization, the bill abolishing brevet pay and double rations, and the bill providing for our national defences; but after explaining each, they were postponed, thore boing » manifest unwillingness on tho part of the Senate to examine er consider the subject.

Mr. Ciarx (whig) called up his joint resolutions in re- Intion to national arbitration, instead of a resort to war, Mr. Brexstan (whig) alluded to the Napoleon articles in Harper's Magasine, x4 stirring up the pugnacions quali- ties of mank(ad in bobalf of »'man who liad been made # hero by millions of murders. 1t*was a calamity of the age that « Christian press in the metropolis should have sent stich a clarion blast abroad in favor of war, as made glorious by Napoleon, He referred to Abbott's Lito of the Corsican. Nations cannot afford to go to war. ‘they are, a8 Evglan( is said to be, bound dyer in vast sums to keep the peace. Legare said that national law required a new cbapter—ore on arbitration, When mon became edu- cated they will cease fo fight with any steel but that of the yen, ‘The types, not the bayonots, will carry public opinion. “this law is carrying an indueace abroad, wherover the Foglish Ianguago is read, (and it will supplant all others,) and great heroes are known. He hoped that the Senuie would put itself on the record as the advocate of the measure that means good will to men. Christians give hospitals to the sick. Pacans throw Christiuns to wild beasts. Ho alluded to a recent article of two columns length in the London Times, where the prevalent education in this State received eu: Mogium. Lord John Russell declared that if the United States woule take the initiative :n recommending Nation- al Congresses of arbitration, rather than national bat tles, that England would follow an example so beneficent. He hoped that the resolutions would be adopted. They were adopted without further debate. ‘OM LAKR SUPERIOR COPPER RECIONS—LANDS WANIED TO FACILITATE INTERCOURSE, KTO. Mr. Bancock called up his resolution concerning grant by the national government, of land for the purposo of facilitating the intercourse between the copper region of Take Superior, and the States on the great likes. Mr. B. said, this ix « matter of vast interest to the State, and especially to the city of New York. Government has a very large amount of public land, the disposition of which has been a subject of great interest. The timo is almost past when the States can receive any benofit from it. It was to be feared that this session of Congress was the last where the States would receive the benefits contemplated hy the act of cession. The new States demanded them as being within their limits. But New York should see to it that the disposition is for her benofit. In the administration of Washington, a grant was made for a road into the northwest territory, and in great and small instances it has been followed till the last session witnessed the great grant to the Illinois Central road. Mr. B. then described the country, as he could do, from personal observation. The intercourse between the upper and lower peninsula of Michigan was for many months in the year, a rude and scattered travel by snow shoes, while the water is liable to great and dangerous storms from the 15th October to theyl5th May. In camping out, in travelling on snow shoes, the inhabitant there finds his only medium of com- munication, ‘The land through which the proposed rail- way passes is not salcable, but it reaches the rich and precious copper regions. ‘The south shore of Lake Supe- rior is as valuable as any other district in our country, unless it be the coal region. The proposed ship canal will be available only for five months in the year. During that period it will do reat business, but for seven months it will idle. The Detroit and Pontiac road, tho first link in this great enterprise, is pushing its way westward. When its continuation reaches Merrquette bay, it reaches apoint where the Iake very seldom freezes. Reachi Monitouwoc, 196 miles, brings the road to the centre of the copper region, in about 460 miles. Much of this isa dense wilderness, where the New has been the oal, traveller. A company propose to iid this road—in ef- fect, a road from Detroit to C Harbor. A rival pro- ject is maturing at Philndelphia and Baltimore, to have Bll this trade g= Armm. cone ihe tr Ky tu etry Pemike, MM PAVE 1 Loan elaRD ow BOK. Muy Seete has a grest capital iu the copper mine business. The Parkersburg Railroad project would take it from our chanvels of transportation. Much of the public land in- volved ix yet ina wilderness state, wild, uncultivated, and will remnafn untouched, unless some such onterpriseas this brings in inte market. Government cannot lose anything by the proposed gift, and he illustrated this by the grant to the Dlinois Central Railroad. Of this a vast quantity, millions of acres, had been for scores of years in market, untouched and unpurehased, while since the road had be- come a fixed fact, the reserved sections had been so well sold that the Commissioner of the Land Office calculates that the United States will receive nine millions of dollars more for them than the price fixed, and before this road was designed, they could not be sold at all. Why should not the general government, in regard to its min- ing and agriculture, extend some ‘of the protection it gives to our foreign commerce? It does that at a loss of millions. Our internal trade exceeds our foreign com. merece vastly, and why should not government favor it? ‘The iron of this region is as gool as the Juniata, Peru and Salisbury--the copper is the best in the world. There is none of such purity elsewhere. This country is now importing vast s of copperto le paid fer in California gold. | New York is greatly interested in securing this transportation for our canals, This iron and copper we desire to bring down fake Erie, so that it should, Pass over our canals and railroads. The offort to send it over the south ronte would deprive our channels of transportation of this rich and valuable freight. Mr. B. then alluded to Mr. Ben- actt’s land bill, as the only one professing to divide the public domain in the terms of the original cession. The t named in the resolution would not interfere with ‘There is a necessity for immediate action, for Con gress remains in session but a few days longer. The resolution was amended by inserting a proviso, “if the policy of distribution should be continned.”” Mr. Pikeex, (dem.) avowed his opposition to the whole affair, but desired so treat it with the respect due to its source. It violates the principle on which the lands were ceded to the government—ind the lines of internal improvement bid fair to be carried on sufficiently fast on individual basis. It rather behooves the State of New Yerk to hold back. Hills are framing, the object and tendency of which was to stay the velocity with which projects arerunning. He thought the direct lino of wa- ter communication opened by the Salt Ste Marie canal, settled the question in favor of New York. Iron an re not sech perishable commodities as to de- nediate conyoyance at all times. Mr. Bancock said that he had the best informed belief (and his authority was no less than General Cass) that the measure alluded to in these resolutions would pasa if any of these measures passed, and thence the necessity of immediate action ou these resolutions. Mr. Cootzy opposed the resolutions, The representa- tives of Congress needed no instructions at the hands of this Legislature, He was prepared to vote on them at once, and vote against them. Pending the discussion, the Senate adjourned. | Assembly. . ALBANY, Feb, 12, 1858. AGHICULTORAL COLLEGR. Mr. Hapisy introduced a bill to establish a State Agri- cultural College. ‘THE YINANCIAL AND CANAL POLICY. At the requost of Mr. Burroughs, Mr. Hendee withdrow his motion to postpono the subject indesinitely. Mr. Burnovens, (ind. dem.) of Orleana, said that near: ly half the session had alroady passed, and it had now be come the duty of the House to take up and act upon some definite measure to “improve’’ as well as to complete the canals. His position had been said to be peculiar here. It wos not his intention to undertake to define his posi- tion—he stood here to represent the position of his con- stituents, Ho teusted the “responsible majority” would treat with scorn a suggestion from any quarter having the canal enlargement in view. He would not, ax the [bee from Monroe (Mr. Hastings) had done, proffer fealty to the gentleman from Herkimer. He knew what the position of the rey \tatives from Horkimer had been in years gone by. Resolutions had been introduced by the Financial Committee—resolutions prepared with care, dis) to indica ‘e the position of that committee, and aski advice upon them. The custom of appointi: committees was that they might examine questions and mature bills req; in order to advance the work of logisiation Bet Sor, testonn of a report in the shape of # bill, the examinations which the committee should make are thrown upon the House. Hada das gis deen printed, been made in Rainey TA have its tenor carefully exam! ; but instead, we have a speech which cannot be looked at delil tely and in detail. The resolxtions had been proposed by the committee in the expectation that they would be sont back to them by the Houre, as instructions. As the gentleman from Monroo Mr. tings) had attempted to define the position of ir. B., he would define that of Mr. H. It was well under- stood Mr. H. was not to act with the whig party. Ho is believed to look to a gentleman near the centre of the ir. Hastrxes (whig); disclaimed having ex; an; appreval of the resolution of Loomis. if ir. BurrovGHs continued—We are told that no Logls- lature should expend more than the revenue of a single year, Mr. B. believed the poor juired an amend- ment of the constitution, authorizing the State to borrow money tocomplete the canals. Should the payment of tho State debt be postponed four years, we should have the revenues to comp! the canals, which would in- ereaso their value vastly more than the money expended onthem. If there had any serlous intention to en- Jarge the canals, why is not a plan for doing so now be- fore ust He suspected there was a design rforely to di- vert the attention of the House, that the jon might slip by without any definite action. Wo are told the canal ia a for the wants of the State, and that if wo enlarge it, it will be for the benefit of the canal. This was not ro—an onlarged canal and a reduction of els could not increase (he value of our own products. PRICE TWO CENTS, This would amount {o twenty-five cents for every barrel of flour made in Western New York. Produce, such as oats, could not be ralxed in Western Now York now, but if transportation should be reduced, these varietios of grain could be rnised then at profit! Besides, as busi ness crowds upon the canal, freight will be up. When unusual quantities of produce aro waiting for traasporta. tion, freights ge up rapidly. and ultimately fall upon the farmer. The canals should be enlarged to prevent this, and we shall not be sorry if the produce of the Western Siates help to pay for the enlargement In the Western yart of the State (his subject is understood, and there is more desire there for the énlargoment than’ some gentle men seem to be aware of. Mr. 8. had been ealled by Mr. Champlin a visooary dreamer. ‘There was a time when Le Witt Clinton was called a visionary dreamer. In 1585, when it was proposed to enlarge the canul, there were sixteen senators who regarded the scheme a4 vision- ery. Some of these men were living, but he would not pame them. Mr. B. eaid he would make itas a distinct charge against the gentleman from Herkimer, (Mr. Loom- is,) as intended to break down the canals and aid the railroads. The proposition to tax railroads was designed merely to cover up bis plans The railroad men under- stand'this, They do not dread taxation, There is no lobby futerest here, on their part, uniting agaiust taxa tion, as there would be if there was any apprehension of an unreasgnable tax. ‘The consolidation of the rail roads ranning through the centre of the State, was to give them a monopoly. ‘The equivalent for any fax that may be levied on them is to this consolidation, and the impo-ition of such re- strictions vpon new companies, that no moro railroads would be constructed. They are to be prevented from acquiring lands or borrowing money. ‘ihis would be a tremendous monopoly given io one railroad corporation, This question was setiled long ayo, that the right of “eminent domain’? existing in the State could be confer- red on publis highways, It was singular this argament should have been brought forward just when measuces were being taken to construct another railroad through the centro of the State. There was no design on the part of the majority to complete the canals. We are asked if the amount of tolls will go up to the maximum point as soon as the enlargement is finirhed. Not a sixth of the land in the Western States is yet under cultivation. In- crease the facilities for transportation on our canals, and these lands will bo"rapidly brought into use. The tolls were always jumping up beyond the expecta- tions of certain percons., ‘the ‘canal, without enlarge- ment, had justified the predictions of Mr. Ruggles, in his much abused report, made in reference to our enlarged canal. Enlarge our canals in four years, and we can for ever command the commerce of the West. But it must be done soon. A short airline railroad from Wheeling, in Virginia, would lead to the ocean, and unless our pr ces of transportation ure reduced, this railroad will direet an immense amount of western produce from our ¢«nals. We must act tf we wish to retain this mighty business. We aro often told wo have no right to cast burdens upon the future, He Sous this argument had been ably assumed by tho gentleman from Washington (Mr. Be- man). but be would say a word respecting it. If we were to borrow money to answer the purposes of the pre sent, the argument would good—but the com- pletion of the canals would be a benefit of the utmost magnitude upon the future. It will be a rich legacy to others, and confer incalculable bene- fits upon them, If we were to use the money so that its benefits would ieee in the using,’’ it would not be right to burden the future with the Payment of it, but when invested on permanent works of utility, the future would thank us for expending it. Mr. B, would leave it to the future to vindicate the bitter assaults which had been made upon her. Mr. Looms, (dem.,) of Herkimer, did not claim much rhetorical ability; it was his aim’ to use only such lan- guage and euch ideas as bore upon the question under discussion. His language had been perverted, and tho tendency of his speeches misrepresented. But little of the speech which had been made, had any relevancy to the subject under consideration. ‘To raise revenues for the present year was the object of his resolution. We have no resources for the expenditures of the pre- rent year. No system of borrowing—no amendment of the constitution would answer this purpose, IC the future enlargement of the canals was before us, then such propositions might be appropriate. He ha been charged with skulking from responsibility by intro- ducing his resolutions. This was untrue. It was unjust to require the committee to make a proposition to the House, and then charge them with unworthy motives when one was introduced. The committee had brought forward a plan in detail. Instead of meeting this plan fairly, members are afraid of expressing their opinions upon it, They neither say whether they are willing or unwilling to tax railroads. Is not this skulking from re- sponsibility + Tell the committee in what way the House is desirous of raising a revenue, and they will framo a Bill in accordance with it, ‘Why do‘ not gentlemen utter their views, that the. committee may know what to tio?

There were persony atwhys surmising traps—always uspecting improper motives. Such often judged from the impulses of their own hearts. The propositior s of the committee were plain and distinct— why did not gentlomen ssy whether they approve or dis- approve of them? The committee krew there wore dif ferent oe ote in the House, and it was with the hope of harmonising those views that the resolutions were intro- duced, Much useless legislation could be avoided by first settling upon plans, and then elaborating bills in accord- ance with them. He had anticipated objections to some of his propositions, but he believed they would mect the commendation of the people. It would not be just to send them back to the committee without instructions, Amend them to suit the views of the House before they are returned, and wo-will more speedily arrive at some defintto conclusion. Mr. 1. denied being adverse to the enlarge- ment to favor railroads. The propositions he had brought in were pecially designed to facilitate the enlargement. Those who would stave off their consideration might more justly be charged with hostility to the canals, ‘The sub- ‘stance of the proposition read by Mr. B, was that the railroads through the State should pay the State a million a year, for six.pears, 10 complete the enlargement, as an equivalent for s monopoly a certain length of time. ‘Ihat proposition might be approved by men, but it had not been by the finance committee. Heconcluded by saying he had not asserted it was unjust to borrow money to be paid by the future, Under certain circumstances this would be proper. But it was not right to expend their money for purposes for which they could better uso it themrelves. Mr. Jackson, (dem.) of Chemung, said the resolutions had been under discussion for a long time, and he would therefore move the previous question. A division of the question was called for. The question was, therefore, upon the first of the reso- lutions of Mr. Loomis’s, as foliows:— 1. Resolved, That it is the first duty of this House, be. fore imposing additional taxes to meet increased expendi« tures, to inquire into the causes which have produced them, and particularly in relation to canal ropairs, and to provide laws for the correction of abuses, and for due economy in the management of the canals and the expen diture 6f public moneys, ‘The yens and nays were called—yeas 80, nays 21. Mr. Heyper, (whig) of Livingston, moved to be exensed from voting, and said, it had not been his intention to diseuss the resolutions. It was his opinion they were de- signed toobstruct action. He considered them ill-timed and improper. If he understood the course indicated by the rexolutions—— Mr. Loomis rose toa point oforder. After the ayos and noce aro called, it is not proper o discuss the main ques- tion, but simply to make a brief statement of the reasons for declining to vote. The Sreankit decided the point of order to be weil taken. Mr. Hevpxe continued. Should the resolution be adopted, the bills to be introduced under it would attract the attention of the House to the exclusion of some im- ortant questions. Mr. P. W. Rose, (whig,) of Wyoming, rose to a point of order. Mr. Reraovous demanded that the point of order should be stated in writing. ‘Tho Srraker decided Mr. Hendec to be out of order, and explained his view of the rules. Mr. BorkovGss appealed from the decision of the Chair. The decision of the Chair was sustained. Mr. Haxow’s name being called, he asked to be excused f.om voting. Not granted. Mr. Housey, (whig) of Niagara, begged to be excused from votleg, and would state his reasons. If he voted for the resolution he would decide to do what could not be done in one year. It would require an investigation into canal frauds more comprehensive than could bo under- taken now. The resolution was impracticable. If ho voted against it be would be charged with enmity to economy, and if for it, he should recommend a measure which would dofeat all other legislation here. Mr. Buxnovons demanded that the point of order shonid be made in writing, but the demand was disre garded, and The Sreaker decided the point of order to be well taken, Mr. Hottay appeated from the decision, but it was sus- tained by the House. Mr. Kewnrpy, (whig) of Cayuga, asked to be excused from voting. Not granted. Mr, Lerr.aon, cay ) of Oswego, made the same re- quest. He was opposed toa precedent of this kind.

Me then withdrew his request, Mr. Bemax rove toa point of order. A member of this House was illegally in custody of the seryeant-at-arm, by direction of the Speaker. The speaker had no power delegated to him to inflict so severe and arbitrary a pun ishment on # member es to place him under arrest. The revised statutes give this power expressly to the House. ‘The Speaker has arbitrarily and despotically exercised this power. He has transcended his legitiumte autho- rity. He had taken from the House its right to di- rect the punichment of a nfember for contu:macy. The Srraxnn decided the point of order not to be well taken. It was an old cnstom for the Speaker to order a member into custedy while standing in contempt of the House. Mr. D. B.

Whereas the State has incurred a large debt to fi tate the transportation of property to and from market, voth for this State and the Western States, by means of which their prosperity has been greatly promoted and their products inercased; and whereas, also, it has grant- ed to railroad companies immunities by incorpo tion, and laws by which they are enabled largely to Vee: in the profits of transportation of such inereased product and of merchandise in exchange for them, and by which also its revenues (o pay the-cost of completing the canrts, and to discharge its debts incurred for their construction, has been diminished by the completion of such railroads; therefore Rerolved, That it is expedient to require of all such railroads the payment of a special tax upon their gross earnings, in aid of the canal revenues.
