IMPROVEMENT OF BLACK RIVER RAPIDS, Acommunication from the Secretary of War was re- ceived relative to the improvement of the Black River Rapids. RELIEF FOR WRECKED VESSKLA. A petition from Wm. H. Brown was presented concern. ing apparatus for relieving wrecked vessels. ADJOURNMENT TO FRIDAY. Mr. Bancrr, (whig) of N. C., moved that the Senate adjourn to Friday. He observed that during the holi- days very few Senators would be in thelr seats. They wanted relaxation and took it. It was not right, there- fore, to transact any important business, and he hoped the Senate would feel disposed to adjourn to Friday, and from Friday to Tuesday, when the Senate would be full, and members prepared to despatch business correctly. MOTIONS, RESOLUTIONS, ETC, Mr. Jonson, (dem.) of Ark., moved to recommit the pendyng Territorial bills. Agreed to, Mr. Wricat, (dem.) of N. ubmitted a resolution in reference to the improvement of the harbors in New Jersey. Referred. Mr RocKwrut, (whig,) of Mass., introduced the House bill giving the assent of Congress to the transfer from the State of Massachusetts to the State of New York of Boston Four Corners. Concurred in and passed. Mr. Fisit, (whig) of N.Y., moved that the Committeeon Foreign Relations be instracted to inquire whether any and what compensation should be paid to Commodore M. C. Perry, for his services in relation to the achievement of the late treaty with Japan. The Senate then adjourned to Friday, with the under- standing to re-adjourn on that day until Tuesday, the 2d of January. House of Representatives. Wasutncton, Dec. 27, 1854, ‘TELEGRAPH TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN. Mr. Farixy,(whig) of Me., from the Committee on Ter- ritories, reported back with amendments the Senate bill authorizing the construction of a subterranean telegraph from the Mississippi or Missouri river to the Pacific Ocean. Referred to the Committee of the Whole on the Btate of the Union. CALIFORNIA LAND CLAIMS. On motion of Mr. Laruam, (dem.) of Cal., the Senate bill continuing in force for a limited period the act for ascertaining and settling private land claims in Califor- nia, was referred to the Committee on Public Lands. ‘THE ARMY AND POST OFFICE APPROPRIATION BILLS. ‘The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union on the Army Appropriation bill. This, together with the bill making appropriations for the General Post Office, was subsequently reported to the House. No debate took place on them. Mr. McDovGaut, (dem.) of Va., wished to amend the army bill by appropriating twenty thousand dollars for the purpore of determining how far camels and drome- daries can be employed for transportation over ‘deserts. ‘The SPxaxker ruled the amendment out of order, an the ground that the law does not authorize such appropria- tions. Mr. Brxtox, (dem ) of Mo., made an ineffectual effort toamend the Post Office Appropriation bill so as to authorize the Postmaster General to costract for the carriage of the mail from Independence to Sam Fran- cisco, in coaches, wagons aud sleighs, the contractor to 2 hr amet ma the tolls charged travellers. FREMONT’S LAST EXPEDITION. Mr. McDovuca.t presented Colonel Fremont’s narra- tive, giving » description of his last exploration over the Plains. Ordered to be printed. APPROPRIATIONS FOR PUBLIC WORKS. Mr. Nonrz, (dem.) of Mich., introduced a bill making ana {tron for continuing the public works at Mou- ror, Michigan, and moved that it be referred to the Com- mittee on Commerce. ‘Mr. Haves, (w! of N.Y,, thought the House shoul) instruct the committee to report on one hundred an forty bills, as that was the aumber of them in the River and Harbor bill vetoed by the President; and that the report should be sent te the President, as he knew of no otver way to arrive at the reason why thoPresident-vetott ‘that bill. “Tt was no use to allow the matter to hang ra- velling at the heel as it was, The House could as well pass one hundred and forty bills as one. . Mr Camraett, (free soil) of Obio, was opposed to so many bills. They might as well make separate ones ot the items in the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill. He never foliowed those who yield to executive dictation, and never would. There should be a general bill for river and harbor improvements, they being of national importance. Mr. Havax—The executive has promised his reasons at length for his late veto, and he wishod by the course he had suggested to obtain them. He oped the mes- gage would come after the gestation, so hard of delivery. (Laughter.) He desired the people to know whether the Business of legislation 18 te be contined to government officers alone. Mr. Campnsi, eaid the constitution requires the Presi- dent to give his reason for veto. He on a former oceasion had appealed in vain to postpone action on the returned River and Harbor bill. It was but courteous to the Exvedent to delay action te order that his reason might d upon the journ: . Bocock, fg Va., wished to know the reason of gentlemen’ for ng for the promised views at length. Dio they thing the message would indnce those who voted against the bill to vote for it?—or did they want to swell the vote by which it was rejected? Mr. Campnxts repl ed—It was due to the executive—he had no idea the message would change his mind. Mr. Havens repeated, his desire was to obtain the views of the President. which had been promised. Mr. Bayzy, (dem.) of Va., expressed his surprise at the views taken by Mr. Haven. The late Silas Wright, of the same State, properly took the sound view that every internal’ improvement bill should stand on its own merits. He was against every mem- ber introducing a separate bill, for they would na- turally be blinded by a system of clubbing. They will get together and graze in the sume pasture. He liked the example of Was! When the veto of the first bank bill was prepared, the Father of his coun- pre] | try confined himself to the constitutional requirements of merely giving lis objections without argument. He would be sorry to see this departed from. He them de- fex.ded the President’s veto. Mr. Wasnnunn (whig), of Me., said, as the late Silas Wright and Mr. Bayly were opposed to internal improve- ments, it was natural they shonld have pursued the course best calculated to defeat the appropriations for that purpose, Did the gentleman know tliat Silas Wright ever voted for appropriations for the improvement of rivers and harbors? Mr. BayLy—Unquestionably. Mr. Wasnavrx—At what date and year? Mr. Bayty—I will refer the gentleman to the year, but not to the date, if he disputes the fact. Mr. Wasunv ppy ef impression was the gentleman had reference io a bill not of a general character. Mr. Bayty—He voted for a bill that was vetoed. Mr. Wasneury said he wanted the reasons of the Pro sident for the late veto. The River and Harbor bill was as constitutional asthe bill for removing the obstra tions at the mouth of Cape Fear river, which the Pres dent approved. Mr. Cratcy: (dem.), of N.C., explained, saying it was right the removal should take place, as government had placed the obstruction there. ‘Mr. Onn (dem.), of 8, C., said there has never been an unpopular veto. They have always been sustained by the country. The gestation to which Mr Havens re- ferred would oduce a full grown Hercules, to batter down all the feeble arguments made as to the constitationality of the bill vetoed by the President. They wonld get the President’s reasons in good timo—of that, gentlemen might rest assured. Mz. Havex-—Then it appeara that by som extraordi- nary feat of midwifery we will procure the message ‘asbort time. (anghtor. ) He further replied to Mr. Orr, saying that gen’ must have seen behind the veil, so as to be able to make such a communication. Mr. Letcuer thought all the debate ‘much ado about nothing.’’ The President’s mexaage will not turn a single vote. He hoped the whigs would let the subject remain qu Mr. Guxexwoon, (dem.) of Avk., explained the etr- 3 under which the bill of the Red River Raft ‘THK MINNESOTA AND NORTHWESTERY RAILROAD. On motion of Mz. May, (dem.) of Md., it, was resolved “that the President communicate to the House any in- formation he may possess renee, @ suit in Minnesota, by or in the name of the U1 States, against Minneso- ta and the Northwestern Nag KANSAS TERRITORY AYVATRS. Mr. Wintrimty, (dem.) of Kansas, introduced bills for the erection of public bul in Kansas; [nyy—— bad the construetion of roads and bridges, and the 5 ment of rivers in that Territory; and for a 1 survey; to exempt certain town sites from sale or pre- emp’ ; and for the establishment of post roads. ‘were a) jately referred. ‘The House then adjourned to Saturday. Our Washington Correspondence. ‘Wasnixoton, Dec. 24, 1854. The Census Returns—New and Old Publications, de. I notice that many of the newspapers are copying tables of statistical facts from the late abstract of the census, published’by Mr. De Bow, as if they were some- ‘thing new, when fn fact the very vase tables were pub- Mebed in the Hina two years dince, being taken from Mr, Kennedy's repor, on the copsus, from whish they have been copied by Mr. De Bow ment. The course of the latter gewteon™®® With respect to hls predecessor in office, has exelted 5° Mall degree of indignation in the minds of all bers)’ *hiaking men, and must exert an unfortunate influence re.‘Pecting his liberality of sentiment, if not his fitmess for ob.“ Mr. De Bow entered into the duties of his office “fer the public printer had been informed by Mr. Kenneu'¥ that he might commence the publication. The latter gentleman alone had been identified with the direction of the work thus far, from the framing of the law to take the census to its preparation for the press, in ac- cordance with the act of Congress. At this moment Kennedy, through the instrumentality of Borland and Soulé, is dismissed from office, and De Bow appointed. Some changes, unwarranted by the law, are in the order of the work, but which are calculated to make it doubly valuable to the printer, and (for the first time that Te ge compiler has ee im @ census) Mr. De Bow places his name on the title as author of the work, which fhe Democracy of ‘Butalo properly terms ‘‘a blundering tion of res, discredita- ble to the department w: it issued, and disreputa- ble to the nation.” Congress, unfortunately, had ordered the work in advance to some extent, but to save the administration from further disgrace, the printing committee reported against multiplying the large work, but recommended the printing of a large editiun of an abstract of the census to be re Well, this has come out, and proves worse than the quarto; in fact, its contents and method of arrangement are so glaringly faulty, and the injustice done to his anor KO flagrant, tt at some members hesitate to frank it to their fide page te author aad patlaher, he copies largely, as author pu , he copies ly, and without any credit, from the reprict of Mr. Ken- nedy, published two years since in the Hxraup, and not only makes no allusion to the labors of his predeces- sor, but is guilty of attributing his labors to persons who not only had no connection with the work, byt the very individuals who found fault with his id ” every means to prevent its adoption by Con; this in full view of the fact that the manner of pubslcatlua was exclusively based on Mr. Kennedy’s census of Mary- land. Such gross injustice cannot pass without exciting attention, and the press ly appears determined to do to Mr. Kennedy that justice of which the envy of a whl in Washiseton ome ition ile in ial posi may screen man from mesited re} r, it is not so with the press, uninfiuenced by the fear or favor of the administration, throughout the country; and it is not to be doubted that their rebuke of official presumption or partisan malice will be as marked as general. Mr. De Bow had ned his office, at the request of the Secretary of the Interior; and the department had determined to permit Mr. Baird, an old clerk in the office, to succeed him, and finish up the ittle work that remained incomplete, at his ordinary rate of pay as a clerk; and the resignation of Mr. De Bow was istered in the’ papers. The House of Representatives, in this of affairs, ordered the medical returns to be pub- hi |. These embraced anew feature byMr. Kennedy intro- dueed into the United States cenaus; but (in keeping with Borland and Soulé,) they were abused and discredited by Mr. De Bow in both his publications; but no sooner were they ordered to be printed, in accordance with the recommendation of the prominent medical men of the country, than it is discovered that the tion of De Bow was to take place thereafter; and he having re- considered the matter, has determined to hold on as as the appropriation lasts, although there is ne earthly actto perform. The medical returns were ready for soy heey at the meeting of Congress—at least Mr. Bow so states in his report to the Secretary, Mc- Clelland; but as a few thousand dollars of the money appropriated to take the census remains, it is not un- that he will remain in office until tne next session gress, E Wasninaton, Dec. 26, 1854. The Pacific Railroad and Col. Benton—Christmas in Washington—The Herald at the Capitol—United States Supreme Court. ‘There was some debating in the House to-day upon a bill offered, conveying to Kansas a grant of land for the | Pacific Railroad. This bill was finally referred to the appropriate committee to repert upen. Speaking of the Pacific Railroad, Col. Benton returns from his Northern tour in great glee over thia favorite project of his. He remarked to-day, ‘(I have the Pacific Railroad in my trunk, sir—I have the Pacific Railroad in my trunk.’”’ By this be meant that he had documents in his posses- sion which guaranteed the accomplishment of his de- sign to build a railroad to the Pacific—documents which were signed by the wealthiest men of the North and twenty of the most ‘solid men of Bor- ton—Abbot Lawretee among the rest—promising mone} and influence = when uired. From ee Mr. Benton has nota very exalted opinion of those who stand nt the head of the Walker Company. ‘They are not the men,” he says; -‘‘they aremot the men, sit. ir very names would damn any project, however feasible and desirable. They have enough sin in them to sink a fleet—to sink a fleet to the bottom, sir. The Czar could not better succeed in destroying the ships of the allies, than by smuggling this Walker Railroad Company on board of them; they would go down at once, sir.’” In the Fae mong of importance was performei. A few private bills were brought up and laid over. Se- veral re yet absent, Mr. Gwin, of California, among the rest. who i fed to bring some Impor- tant informatinn in regard to tde Sandwich Islands. Christmas here was@ dull day enough—worse than Sunday; no military paralies, mass meetings, testooned churches ‘and extra’ dinners, like you in New York; but sleeping, lounging, loafing, dancing On 8 qriail scale, and ond playing, meade up the programme of the day. ‘The Herp is almost the only *4nstitution’’ which gives any interest to Washington circles. Members of Congress actually depend upon it tor learning what is golug on at the capitol. The two | houses of Congress read President Pierce and his Cabinet through the Hera; and, as a distinguished Senator remarked to me, ‘‘but for the revelations of the Hxwanp we should all in Washington be iu ignorance of the most important polities] doings of our government.’’ Imme- diately after the arrival of the carsin the evoding tt is | seen im the hands of all, from the veteran politician to the boarding school miss ‘just coming out,”’ and in all places, from beside th: light on the street corner, to the parlor of damask aud rosewood. The Rounsetts are dancing here, at the National thea- tre, which is the only attraction in the theatrical way. The Supreme Court was oorapiet to-day in the case of Benjamin C. Clark, William H. Y. Hackett, assignee ia bankruptey appellees, against Ferdinand Clark, appel- lant. The facts of this case appear to be these:—Fer- mando Clark for some years prior to 1841, lived tempo- rarily in Havana, (for the purpones of trade only.) In} the year 1841 he ‘came to New York, where he was pro- ceeded against. by numerous creditors, and where judg- ments now in issue before the United States Supreme Court were obtained it him. The bill and peti- tion charge that to avold execution, he fraudulently absconded from New York—that he was insolvent at the date of said judgments, and then and thenceforth had no property which could he reached by execution at | law. This caso was argued to-day on the part of the F kenge by Mr. A. Lawrence, and on the part | of the appellees by J. M. Carlisle. ‘The Hon. Reverdy | Johnson is also engaged for the appellees, and will pro- bably address the court to-morrow. The counsel for the appellees claim that at the time of the decree of bank ruptey to the appellant,"obtined in New Hampshire in 1843, he was the legal possessor of a claim against Mexico, which claim was afterwards adjudicated by the Commissiouers under the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo | to be valid for $86,786 29, wo be paid into the treasury | of the United States. The appellees allege that this claiin was not mentioned in she schedule of the appel- | lant in his petition for a decree of bankruptey, nor its value disclosed, so as to prevent the same from being mate available to his creditors. This case is entirely one of fact. Nl iE. | OTHER CORRBSPONDENCE.

The Failure of Selden, Withers & Co—The New Gover. nor of Utah—Ihe Judicial System of the District of Columbia, The failure of Selden & Withers’ Bank has produced a disagreeable sensation in oficial circles. Major Allen, the Navy Agent, a popular and estimable officer, had on deposit with the institution $28,500. The amount will probably be a total loss. The securities of Mr. Allen wero tho late Robert Armstrong, printer to Congress, and Mr. Whiting, one of the suspenied firm. He was there in double trust—first, as a depositor of a large amount of public money; and secondly, as one for whose faith- ful performance of his duties those who held his money rere personally bound to the government. Tlearn that his friends, when apprised of the tottering condition of the bank, made extraordinary efforts to recover the de- posit, but without any success. Mr. Allen has resigned, to avoid dismissal. Tho Commissioner of Patents had $10,000 of the funds of his office in the bank, which, it is feared, will be lost tohim, Mr. Forney, Clerk of the House, had $9,000 of public money on deposit, Itis thought taat he is secured. General Dodge, Senator from Wiseonain, is a sufferer to the amount of $10,000, representing a ‘considerable Part of his private fortune. |B. B. French, Esq. former rk of the House of Representatives, and now Commis- sioner of Public Buildings, had a balance of $4,000 of his private funda in the bank, As soon ax he heard of the approaching aceon he caused an attachment to be sued out and laid upon the property of Mr. Withers, tho senior partner in St. Louis, by which, it is supposed, that he and others will be secured. At’ one period this firm had public money to an amount excecding half a million of dollars. Their difficulties originated in em- barrassments caused by the restoration of that large sum to the Treasury. The interesting question debated at longth on Wednes- day last, in the Senate, of the right of military officers to hola civil appointments, was deferred to a future oc- casio. The committee to which the nomination of Col. Steptoe as Governor of Utah was referred, applied to the President for information, who answered in writing, that if Colonel Steptoe accepted, Lis mihtary commis: sion would be hela superseded by t rank in the army would be imme » civil one, and his ately supplied by romotion.

This piece is one of those elegant French comedies with a slight plot, but filled with well drawn characters, a thousand pleasant incidents and nomberless well contrived situations. The Nice | Young Man is the Viscount de In Ruse (Miss E. Ray- mond), very handsome, very gallant, very clever and very poor. He is engaged’ in contesting a suit at law with a Baron somebody, hiv cousin, and his opposite in everything. The Viscount enchants everybody with his gaiety, while the Baron disgusts every body with his barshnese. Thus, notwithstanding his parents, the dashing Viscount comes off victorious. He finds out the pet failings of every individual with whom he comes in contact, and turns them all to ac- count in the prosecution of his plans. Thus he gains the affections of the great avocat, M. Bonhomme (Bur- ton), by getting him drunk, and secures the heart of hin sister by praising her deformed daughter. Miss Raymond acted the part with » great deal of spirit and abandon. Mr. Burton was capital as Bonhomme, and gave us a most artistic drunk. Burton’s style of wooirg very good as the old Tator—a weak dilution of Dominie Sampson. If there is any fault in the piece it lies in the fact that the dialogue is rather too prolix—it loses much of its piquancy in its Knglish dress. ‘The translator, Mr. John E. Durivage, one of the best Amerie can dzamatists, has done his work well; and the “Nig Young Man” is a great favorite with the gentlemen, as well as the Iadies, who frequent this popular theatre. ‘This evening the ‘‘Nice Young Man’ will appear for the fourth time, and Morton’s comedy, ‘Secrets Worth Knowing,” will be acted. The night is set apart for the benefit of Mr. Jordan, the light comedian of the thea- tre, and certainly one of the best actors in Mr. Burton plays Nicholas Rue, one of his best parts, and Mr. Jordan does Rostrum, for the first time.

New Baunswice, N. J., Dec. 15, 1854. James W. Barker, Esq., President of State Council of New York :— Dear Sm—Having been frequently questioned, with strong manifestations of anxiety, by highly respectable parties belonging to the order ih the Btate of New York, in reference to the truth of the alleged action of our re- cent National Couneil, upon certain particulars affecting the order in that State; and having become convincea that there ie, in some quarter, a deliberate design to im- press upon the members of the order the idea of disor- ganization and confusion, I feel it to be my duty, inthis official manner, to call your attention to the subject, that you may take snch measures as will most effectually ua- deceive and reassure them. 1, It is industriously reported, in the interior of State, that the delogaver from the State Council of New York to the National Council were rejected by that body, and that a contesting set of delegates were admitted senta. 2. It is currently circulated that you were removed from the office of President of the Natlonal Council, and another elected in your stead. 3. New grips, signs, pass-words, &c., have been givem out'by the persons who are parties to the above state- ments, and are asserted to be those that were determined upon by the national council, and said to constitute the “new work”? of the order. Now, sir, each and all of these statements are false im all their parts, and can only have been fabricated for incendiary purposes, by persons who are utterly reck-~ less of truth and honor. I will notice them in the order that they occur above :— 1. There was no contest for the seats of the delegates feces the heaest thane pea i. ae Seasasak ak legates ap; }, an Tr seats were n pent 9 the session, The delegates in attendance were Joseph E. Evling, Calvin Walker, W. F.. Chapman, N. S. Husted, James H. Pratt, Daniel Ullman, Samuel 8. Guy, James W. Barker, and C. B, Allen. 2. You were not removed from your office as President of the National Council. There was no motion to that effect, nor any indication of such a motion. On the con- trary, and by,a “ special vote,” which was unanimous, all the officers were retained in office till the next regu- lar session of the National Council. 3, The only copies of the *‘ new work’? in existence are the original copy now in my posseasion, a1 fect copy of the same, made by myself, which bands of the: printer.’ Moreover, the ‘delegates to the National Council ara the only persons to whom the de- tails of the ‘‘ new work’’ were made known, end, im some instances, even they were not made acquainted | with them, as was thecase with Mr. C. B. Allen, of your own delegation. Indeed, it is very doubtful if any of the delegates, (even of those who were present,) are now competent to instruct any persons in the work. It is most probable that every one of them will need to be reinstructed. I will also say, generally, that the various telegraphie despatches and newspaper chroniclings of the transac- tions of the National Council, which have appeared at | Various times, during and since its session, are mere in- ventions; or, to speak more exactly, they are forged utterances and base coinings by men whom I had al- ways hitherto believed to be brave and true, and whe would scorn to sacrifice the truth, even for the advanee- ment of themmelves or their darling ideas. As you were not present during all the deliberations of the National Couneil, [have thought that some official assurance, such as I have thus given, might enable yor to jadviso the various Councils of your State as to the real facts of the case. Hoping sincerely that you may be able to quiet the anxieties of those who have been disturbed by the idew. of disorder, Iam, yours faithfully, CH. P. DESHLER, Cor. Sec. National Council.
