THE DIFFICULTY BETWEEN MESSRS. CUTTING AND BRECKENRIDGE APJUSTED—-NO DUBL, ETC. Wasmivaton, March 31, 1854. The difficulty between Messrs. Cutting and Brecken- ridge has been settled upon a basis entirely honorable to both parties. Offensive expressions in debate have been withdrawn by both parties. Mr. Preston, of Ken- tucky, made an explanation in the House to-day. We understand that the affair was brought to a happy termination last night. The result gives uni- versal satisfaction here. ‘The jury in the case of Schaumburg are still out. THIRTY-THIRD CONGRESS. FIRST SESSION. Senator WastinGro, March 31, 1864.

A long debate took place upon the bill extending the contract for carrying the mails between Mobile and Mont- gomery, Ala. It was referred to the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads. ‘THE LATE DISAGREEMENT. Mr. Preston, (whig) of Ky., rose for the purpose of making ® personal explanation relative to a matter which recently transpired on this floor. It is yet, he said, in the memory of this House that the debate which re- cently occurred between Mr. Cutting, of New York, and Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, was marked by person- alities. The'cheracter of the debate led to some discus- sion of its features outside of the walls of this House. So far as Mr. Cutting is concerned, he referred the matter in controversy to his friends, Col. Monroe, of New York, and General Shields, United States Senator from Dlinois. So far a8 Mr. Breckenridge is concerned, he referred the matter to Col. Hawkins, of Kentucky, and myself. I am authorized by these gentlemen to state that the matter in controversy has been settled in a manner mutually satisfactory, and we conceive mutually honorable to both gentlemen who were engaged in that debate. I have another duty to perform on behalf of these gentlemen, and that is, as they have violated jn debate the rules of order established for the government of the House, they express mutual regret that any such occurrence has taken place, and ask its indulgence, as a body, for its occurrence. It is n source of gratitication for these gen- tlemen, who make strong promise of future usefulness to the country, and who are already admired by a large cirele of friends, that this matter has been adjusted ina manner, I am entirely convinced, satisfactory to all their friends. I thank the House for their attention. ‘The House then went into committee on the BILL TO CONSTRUCT SIX FIRST CLASS STEAM PIIGATES. Mr. Pecruam, (dem.) of N. Y., offered an amendmont increasing the number of frigates to be built to nine. He referred to the statement recently received from Eng- lend, that some excitement had been created in com- mercial efrcles by Lord Clarendon’s announcement to the Tiga merchant. wall Russian produeta, to whomso- ever belonging, and even in neviral vessels, shall be law- ful prizes in the event of war. In commenting on this order in council of the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Gibbons, in the House of Commons, said he trustel it would ap- Lord Clarendon’s despatch was not to be con- pear the strued as a rule that was to be adopted by the British in | the Baltic, for such a rule would not only have the effect of bringing ebout collisions with foreign powers, but would haye the unayo'dable effect of indefinitely pro- longing the wor; and further, if the despateh was to be acted on, they would shortly be brought into’ collision with the Americans, whose merchantmen wéuld be liable | to be searched by the British cruisers; and if they had any parcel on board which, directly or indirectly, could be mado out to be connected with Russian commerce, to be condemned in some Court of Admiralty. This order in council was the assertion of the virtual right of scareh by the British government, a doctrine, certainly, to which we have never ncceded, and ‘to which Ws never can accede. It isa question of great impor- tance to this country, for our commerce with Russia is ; hence the question comes directly home to wi The wat is already existing, anda proclamation of this | sort made by the British rovernment is of great impor- tance to us. He asked if this was nota sufficient and controlling reason for the action of this House, Com: merce would justify the construction of nine additional steam frigates. Great Britain asks our sympathies against Rursia, and she, perhaps, has them, but it is all iroportant that it Britain should distinctly nnder- stand that she is encroaching on doctrine ‘which wo I as vital to our interests, and we should be ina po- sition not only to proclaim this doctrine, but to have it respected. It is more easy to prevent ageression than to seek redress after the wroug hos been done. fis hoped this matter would he properly considered by the House. He woud not only call the attention of the House to it, bat would have Great Britain underst. ad our views on this question. : Mr. Mrursox, (dom.) of Va.. was for the bill a& it was, for the reason that he wanted it speedily passed. Tho public interests required it. The bill in its presont form wae intended to provide for the peace establishment. The amendment of the gentleman from New York looked to a state of war with other powers, He would suggest, if the aspect of political affairs should hereafter requiro warlike measures, a supplemental vill could be brought forward. He bad amendments which ho shoyld like to offer, but would not peril the passage of the bill by them. He believed the object of the bill was in accordance with almost the unanimous desire of the country. We want six more steamers. It ia no objection to the building of them that we will not require their services—on the contrary, it will be a matter of congratulation. On the same ground, the law against murder might aa well be objected to, Deeause it is not keep up a navy because the ships that may be built will rot, there being no use for them. Mr. Peckham’s amendment was rejected. Mr. Waren, (dem.) of N. Y., proposed that ono or more of these frigates be built by private contract. [He would say nothing against old fogiex, for he presumed that they all would be old fogies one of these days, If they could then look back on their past lives as some of those called old fogies in the army, navy, and councils of the country could, they would have but little to regret on the score of patriotic services. (A voice—‘That's a fact.”’) But there isa Len feasion in old soliliers, sailors, physi- cians, lawyers, almost all mon belonging to exclusive protetsions, and they cling with pertinacity to the past.

He warmly eulogized the genius of American mechanics, and closed with a refer- ence to the glorious results achieved by our naval officers and gallant tars in the war of 1812. Mr. Warmer, (dem.) of N. Y., said he was in favor of the increase, but he also desired that the contract ays- tem should prevail. He must confess, therefore, he was utterly opposed to putting this matier out of the hands of this House, and placing it in those of the Secretary of the Navy—a very worthy gentleman, no doubt, but at the same time a man totally unacquainted with the con- strection and detail of naval affairs. Was there a man in the House, or in the whole country, who, if he wanted to build a sloop, or yawl even, would’ give its’ constrac- tion toa lawyer? As a proof of the manner in which things are managed at the Navy Department, he quoted the last official register published by the Secretary of the Navy, which shows that the navy, exclusive of steam- ships and one vessel on the stocks’ at Lake Ontario, con- sists of eixty-two vessels of all sizes, carrying 1,991 guns; and of this number, the official record states but seven bundred and two = are at sea, while 1,289 are lying rusting, and the ships rotting at the navy yards. the nine of the line not at sea, three are used as re- ceiving ships, three are in ordinary, and three on the stooks, Eight hundred guna are thus lying useless. Of thirteen frigates seven arc lying at our dock yards, five in ordinary and two on the stocks; 886 guns arethus lying useless; three sloops of warlying idle, with sixty. co guns; one brig lying useless, with four guns; three steamers in the same condition, sixty-seven guns. Show- ing ‘a total of 1,289 guns lying rusting, and tho ships rotting at our docks. He was in favor of establishing a bureau to superintend the construction of the vessels popeee He repeated he was opposed to giving the direc- tion to the Secretary of the Navy, therefore he had moved his amendment. If it should not prevail, he would vote for the bill for want of somficthing better, being nae 5, to increase the number to twnlve “steamships ereatter. Mr. DEAN was sprcien tothe amendment. He thought the Secretary of the Navy needed no defence from the remarks made by is colleague, and he would not pro- tract the debate, being anxious for a vote on the bill. ‘The amendment was rejected. are number of others were offered, discussed, and rejected. ‘he committee rose, and reported the bill as it was originally introduced, ‘namely, providing for the cou- straction of six first class steam frigates, to be furnished with screw propellers, and properly armed and equipped for service, to be built at the government navy yards, or by contract, a8 the Secretary of the Navy shall deem advisable; and for altering, completing and launchin the frige*>=.d-~4e0 and Sabine; appropriating $8,000,000 for these purposes.

When he erossed the desert in Septem. ber last, the thermometer stood at about 115—on his re- turn in January, at about 40, He says :—‘T passed a drove of some four hundred head of cattle at the Playa Tolito. They had been in camp there twenty daya, and had lost twenty head by miring, and four horses stolen by the Tonto Apaches. “Their cattle were very poor, and they expected to lose more on the road, as they would have no water for them after leaving the Playa, and un- til they reached this place—a distance of one hundred and twenty miles. Thoy thought of starting on the 6th of December. They — Ast is traversed some eighteen hundred miles, and lost more than one-half of their stock. ‘The Colorado river is now lower than it has been for three years, but there is plenty of water for the steamer (Gen; Jessup) to come up. She is looked for hourly at | the fort. I saw a gentleman who was on board the steamer a few days since. He informs mo she is a fine little steamer of some twenty horse power. She then had twenty-seven tons of freizht on board, and drew but sixteen inches of water. There is a drove of four hun- dred head of cattle on the opposite side of the river, to cross to-morrow. The road from here to Vallecito is in yery good order, and plenty of water, The weather has been clear here for some days past, and is now very plea- sant. A party of gentlemen arrived here to-day from Monterey and Los Angeles, They are on their way to Sonora, travelling in bu; 1t any of the officers of the Third Artillery visited Fort Yuma some two years ago, they will be agreeably surprised when they arrive here to relieve the Dy sop command, to find the com- fortable quarters, and the great improvements that have been made since that time. The water is now thrown from the river by a force pump with horse power, on the hill near the parade ground. ‘The water is pumped in the evening, and distributed by carts, clear and settled ia | the morning. They will find a good steamer rnnning on the river, travellers passing almost daily from California, New Mexico, and ora; and as soon as the ‘ Bullet’ gold mines are opened, the rich bottom lands of this and the Gila river will be densely populated by farmers, and then steamers will run on the Upper Colorado, ws the river is much better for steamboat navigation above Fort Yuma than it is below, and a town of much greater im- portance will spring up near this point than the ancient eaport of San Diego. Barnanrem Retvrsing—At the execution of David Jewell, in Pittsburg, on Friday, the Sherif em- ployed a professional hangman, said to be the notorious George Alberti, formerly of Philadelphia, and now resid- ing in Baltimore. ‘The same man is said to have been the executioner of Arthur Spring and of one or two other victims of the law. When engaged in the work of his despicable profession, this monster disguises hiraself in a style that would be absurd, if it were not for the cireum- stances of the scend, which make it absolutely revolting. At Pittsburg, on Friday, he wore a white shirt and white pantaloons, the latter held up by a red searf around his walbt. His face was painted a hideous red; long, false red hair fell in matied curls over his shoulders,’ while hnge black whiskers covered the lower part of his face. The brute that insulted humanity, by appearing in this horrible dress, behaved with correspon ling heartlessnoss on the seafold, and, in binding the prisoner and remov- ing his fet ters, was 80 rough and violent, that the Sheri(f was compelled to take the task out of his hands, His conduct, up to the time of the prisoners death struggles, was equally brutal, and it so shocked the witnesses of the execution that they were disposed to lay violent hands on him.—Philadelphia Bulletin, March 27. ResuMPTION OF MINING IN THE CusmERLAND Drs- Truct.—There is a gleam of hope that mining operations will be resumed at an early day. We learn that on Wed- nesday several man at tho Frostburg mines signified their Willingness to go to work at the prices offered, pro- vided they were protected. They were told that if ten men would go in they should be protected. When last heard from tho number was being rapidly made np. The some spirit, we are told, exists at the Allegany mines and elsewhere in the region. ‘The miners are evidently ready to commence operations aa soon ns the fiest move te made and personal safety is assured them. They are woary of the present condition of things, and anxious once more ‘to be employed. Those who still hold out are compara- tively few in numbers, but, as usual in such cases, make up in violence for all such deficiencies, We trust the men who are willing to go to work will do go at once. ‘They may rest assured that the sympathies of the entire pare rw on their vn Foc it citizens enough found in Allegany county to protect them.—Cum- beriqnd Miners’ Journal, March 24. Our Washington Correspondence, Wasutnaton, March 30, 1854. The Printing of Congress—An Open Fight in the Senate be- tween the President's Organ and the Organ of the Senate —A Very Nice Case. ‘The Senate to-day had an open vote on ths direct ques- tion between the Washington Union and the Washington Sentinel, on the printing of Congress. It appears that under the existing law and existing arrangements, the House printer, of the Union, has contrived to get almost the en- tire kexpel of the printing of both houses, leaving to poor Beverly Tucker notiing but the sholl. The law provides that where the type of a document have already boen Bet up, the composition shall not be paid for again. Under this law, the house which orders the printing of « docu- ment first, has the printing of that document for both houses; and the Printing Committee of each house being for the Union, the printing of both houses has naturally thus far, fallen into the hands of the Union people. Mr. Badger, to-day, to stop this business, made a io- tion equivalent to giving the Senate the exclusive con- trol of its.own printing, evenat the expense of setting up the types of the public documents twice; and after a lively debate, the am@dment was carried, by a vote of 24 to 13; and the disparity woulll have been as great had the whole Senate voted upm it.- Such good democrats ag Allen, Bayard, Brodhead, Brown, Butler, Douglas, (think of Douglas,) Hunter, Mason, Pettit, Rusk, Weller, and Wright, voting for Tucler in oper Semite, against the demands of the Union, the central organ of the Presi- dent, the Cabinet, and the democratic purty, indicate that ‘there is something exceadingly “rotten in the state of Denmark.’” ,° When this thing goes to t Toute, we may look for some curious disclosures connected with this Co printing, and a very interesting fight between the faitisfial and the rebellious democracy, on the respective merits of Major Nicholson vereus Beverly Tucker. * Failing upon everything clee to make an issue With the administra- tion, the Senate are at leastalrm upon the issue between their organ and that of ‘the Tresident; and they are re- solved that the organ of the Senzte shall have the print- ing of the Senate, though be may be pronounced a here tic by the Prosident’s organ. Oh! yes, there will be some sport when this thing goes over to the House. FAIR PLAY, Waanctox, March 30, 1854, Religious Movement—Righis of Conscience Abroad—The Baptists in the Pield—Another Public Land Donation Project—Schedules of Land Projects Before Congress— ‘True Policy of the Government. The movement which wax started by Gen. Cass some time ago, in behalf of the rights of conscience of Amer- ican_citizens abroad in matters of religion, is beginning to make an impression among tho people. Mr. Bell pre- sented to the Senate this morning, a petition from the Baptists of Tennessee, a one of the most populous Protestant denominations of the United States, pray- ing the intervention of the government in behalf of somo reciprocity upon the subject of religion to our citizens in foreign countries, in consideration of the universal liber- ty of conscience ellowed to people of all nations and creeds in this land of civil and religious liberty. The memorial was referred tu'the Committee on, For- cign Relations, Mr. Bell suggesting that it was a proper subject for the State Department in our diplomatic nego. tiations with foreign powers. Sure enough. We have a Minister at Rome, another in Spain, another assigned to Portugal, and another to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, Mr. Soulé may for some time have his hands full of the Black Warrior case and the Cuba question. But Mr. Cass, Mr. O'Sullivan and Mr. Robert Dale Owen appoar to havo nothing to do since the yettloment of the question of their court costume; and why, therefore, should not our Premier issue a card of instructions to each of these dis- tinguished diplomats, to enter into negotiations upon this subject of the rights of conscience in mattera of re- ligion?

The enginvers, however, or ® majorify of the number, refused, and for that reason wore dismiased. New men, incompotont for the duties of the position, and unaware of the respon sibilities of the post, were taken up, and wo have at this enrly period to record a disaster that ia chiefly attri butable to the dismissal of the experienced engineer Yesterday morning the boiler of one of the locomotives exploded, making a complete wreck of the rachinor: tender, and casting the wood, iron, &., in every tion.

ONE OF THE BRAKEMEN KILLED. THREE OTHER EMPLOYES BADLY INJURED, THRILLING SCENE, Our express messenger on the Hudson River Railrcad arrived a few minutes ago, wigh the follow- ing brief particulars of the aivful accident about two miles above Tivoli last evening :— It appears that portions of a large rock overhang: ing the road, one of which pieces probably weighed four or five tons, fell upon the track shortly prior to the coming of the train. The locomotive ran against these missiles with full force, smashing the engine, tender, and baggage car to atoms. ‘Theve were sevén meh in the lattcr car, none of whom were injured except the expressman, although they were thrown, with portions of the vehicles, on the top of the rocks. The skull of the engineer was fractured, and the | fireman and two brakemen were horribly injured. ‘These four unfortunate men were so completely crushed beneath and wedged in among the machi- nery and rocks that it was with the greatest diff- culty they were re'eased. To add to fheir misfor- | tune and the genera! consternation of those present, tlie wrecked cars took fire, and had not the Epassen- gers and others exerted themselyes to the utmost, by biinging water in their hats, to quench the flames, the sufferers would have perished in the burning masa. ‘The injaed men were conveyed to Poughkeepsie, and at last cccounts one of the brakemen, named McLaughlin, was dead, and the other, Charles —, ‘was not expected to survive. Singular to re'at> no! asingle passanger was hurt, notwithstand'ng that the underworks of the forward car were litcia!ly shivered to pieces, ‘ihe train was due here at ten o’clock last night, but owing to the catastrophe did not arrive till about six this morning. ¢ There are conflicting reports as to the exact time atjwhich the rock fell. Those in the neighborhood assert that it came down not more than two minutes before the cara arrived, while the peo- ple on tho-opposite side of the river declare that it was upwards of half an hour before. We shall doubtless receive additional and more accurate particulars of the awful calamity in time or our evening edition. Business at the U. 8. Mint. We are indebted to Messrs.

'e ARREST OF A BOLD PICKPOCKET IN THE AMERICAN EXCHANGE BANK. About one o’clock yesterday aiternoon, as Mr. Canfield was coming from the American Exchange Bank in Wall street, he was met in the door way by three genteel look- ing men, who pushed rudely against him, and plucked his band from his sie pocket, in whick was a package containing $1,500. The instant Mr. Canfell’s hand waa jerked from the pocket, one of the three men extracted the packuge of money, and passed it to a second person, and he to the'third. “instantly Mr. Canfield missed the money, and seized hold of twoof the individuals nearest him, and gave an alarm; but not bolng - able to detain two, he let. loose one held on to tlie other, who subsequently turned out to be-~" a notorious charac'cr, known to the police as Jack Hat- field. ‘The two accomplices escaped from the bank, and directly behind Hatfield on the floor was discovered the package of xtolen Hatfield endeavored in a verge: polite andaffable manner to persuade Mr. Canfield | some mistake had occurred; that he could very soon con- | vince him that he (Hattield) was a respectable man; bat | Mr. Canfield did not appear to be quite satisfied on | point, and thought it better to send for the police im | order that Mr. Hutfield’s respectability might be most fully tested before the Chief of Police.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. = It will be seen by reference to a recent debate in Com- ‘ese that Mr. Dent, from Georgia, has introduced in the fouse of . Representatives “a bill to late and define the duty of Commissioners of Pensions, in cértain cases.’” | The object of this bill, as explained by the gentlemam from Ceorgia, is to cut off the pension list all the old eoldfers who served in the war of 1812 and the Mex- | ican war, except those whose wounds yet totally disable them from any <ort of labor. (This ts thé suggestion of Mr. Waldo, Commissioner of Pensions, to prevent fraud.) It occurs to me, Mr. Editor, that the saving sought to be effected by this bill is of a very mean and un-American character. The country will repudiate it. It savorsof that kind of economy which would save at the spigaot what runs out at the bunghole, What kind of policy is that which allows millions of dollars annually to be ab- stracted from the public treasury by fraud and scheming, while the men who have borne their country’s flag un- tarnished through fields of carnage, are to be deprived of the miserable pittance they now receive from govern- ment? Yes, be deprived,’ unless they ean produce a certificate from two doctors that they are still unable to rise from a bed of sickness. ‘The bill before Congress amounts to that, The writer of this communication has teen through the entire Mexican war, where he has, be- sides being wounded, contracted the seeds of a disease | | | | whieh will follow him to the day of his death, and which enfeebled his constitution; yet, by the terms of Mr. ent’s bill, (whose object is, of course, the public inte- rest,) he must relinquish his pension of a few dollars « month, beci use he isable to walk about without going on cruiches. His case is that of hundreds. No wonder that Col. Bissell, who knew by actual service in Mexico what that campaign was, and Mr. Wentworti, of Illinois, should indignantly protest against the passage of an fraught Sh ingrativure and Injustice to the poor old soldier. , at the best, but a sorry compen- sation of which Mr. Dent intends to deprive us. But, it it were notfor the paternal solicitude of that illustrious and warm-hearted old chieftain, Gen, Scott, who has been at all times instrumental in providing places for of his old soldiers, it would fare hard with those who have perilled live and limb in the service of their country. _CHAPUL! .
