Ca) roll, giving him $5,000 im consideration of his false arrest and imprisonment as a deserter {rom the army. Much confusion in the House, Occastonally thirly or more members springing to their feet, crying loudly, “Mr. Speaker,” each painfully anxious to catch the Speaker's eye, and bring certain matters before the House ‘THE OLD SOLDIFRS’ BOUNTY LAND WILL, The House eeded to the consideration of the Old Soldiers’ Bounty Laud bill. Mr. Barton, (dem.) of Mo., strongly coademned the effort to force through, under a gag, a measure of such importence, involving more than two hundred million acres of land. He was the friend of both old ani young eoldiers, amd a bearty enemy of old and young specula- tors, who consider the former class the subject of lawful prey. Tho bill should be sent to the Committee on Public Lands to be examined. Mr. Grow, (dem.) of Pa., thought that the best way of benefiting old soldiers would be to give the money, 8 land warrants would dopresiats, to their loss and that of the country. Mr. Orr, (dem.) ofS. ©, regarded the bill as extreme- ly defective and conglomerate. Speculators would real- ave one hundred aud fifty seven millions of dollars, and old solders only thirty millions. Mr. CAMPmELt, (free eoil) of Ohio, could not vote for the bil as it came from the Senate. It opened the doors to planderers. He wanted it amended for the benefit of war worn veteran: Toeffectual efforts were made first, to commit the bill to the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, and next to the Committee on Public Lands. ‘The bill, as amended, provides lands for persons of all xrades, by land and sea, including Indians, wagoners, and Dotifle men, who have served in the wars since 1790—one hundred and sixty acres in al! h person who has served not less than fourteen except ac- tually in battle for a shorter period.

The Swords of the Late Gen. Worth Secured to the State. IMPORTANT TO THE MILITIA OF NEW YORK. ATTENTION !—THE FIRST DIVISION, TBE PANAMA RAILROAD BILL AGAIN, Sen, Seon, dio, NEW YORK LEGISLATURE. Senate, Atuany, Feb. 28, 1855, THY USURY Laws, Mr. Svevcer, in presenting the petition of the New York Corn Exchange, ashing a modification of the usury Jaws, said:—In presenting this memorial, Mr. President, 1am constrained, contrary to my usual custom in such caser, to speak of its objects, and a fsw words of those who ask me to present it, The petitioners ask that the Legislature will so modify the usury laws as to enable borrowers to make their own terms with the lender, no- hing more; and, sir, a large portion, nearly all, are at imes borrowers, though there are, I know, among them ome who have alreaéy acquired fortunes, and unless in- dustry goes unrewarded, and integrity and fair dealing unblest, there soon will be many such. There men, sir, are the active, stirring merchants, through whose hands pass pine-tenths, it is believed, of the preduce of our seaineey Western world—the bone and sinew of our mercantile community, quick to perceive and prompt to arrest apy obstacle to their Prosperity which may be controlied; impatient of res tin any thing that tends to shackle trade, they come here simply asking ua to allow them liberty to consult their own and the interests of their correspondents in their financial neg@tintions as they now do in their mercantile ops tions, and thinking themselves competent to judge of their own interests. This memorial was adopted ata full meeting during their business hours, with but one dissenting voice, and is to be regarded as the deliberate expression of that large class of merchants who are ea- gaged in and whayepresent the produce, commission and shipping business. They do not ask to have the usury laws repealed, but only pray that on short mercantile paper the legal rate of interest may be such as shall be agreed upon between the parties, and this is all they ask, Having known the persons represented in this | qnemorial long and well—having met them and the fa hers of moat of them, many years in ths great mart of bus ness, I have only said of them what 1 know; and I may say, before taking my seat, that while they are enjoying the blessing of prosperity, their hands are freely ex- tended to the less fortunate—that they are among the most liberal of our liberal citizens, and certainly desery- | ing of a favorable hearing in this matter, | BILLS REPORTED. ‘The Steamboat Gencral Insorporation law To equalize taxation throughout the State’ ‘To repeal the act allowing corporations to plead usury .

AUDITOR OF THE CANAL DEPARTMENT, Mr, Op»it, from the minority of the Sclect Committee, reported a bill for the election of Auditor for the Canal Department by the people.

On motion of Mr.C., the repo:t was ordered to be printed. Mr. O'Kenre asked that the bill to prosure the swords of the late Major General Worth be now ordered to a third reading. Granted. Mr. O’K. then asked that the bill now have its third reading. Granted, and the bill passed. IMPORTANT TO THF MILITARY OF THE FIRST DIVISION. The bill relative to the Fist division ond Fifth bvigade of the New York State militia was read a third tims. The question being on itn final passage, Mr. Cocks spoke in favor of the bill. Mr. CoLeMAN regretted that he was obliged to oppose | this bill, particularly as it was so earnestly sustained by his friend from New York—Mr. Cocks, But he felt con- strained (o do 0 from a sense of duty, and he should do #0 to the utmost of bis ability. He had had several terviews with the officers in New York who wera op- osed to the bill, most of whom were personally known to him, and had heard and considered thetr ressons for | repudiating the measure. It was an attempt of certain | officers to carry out thetr own views and wishes in mat ters pertainin® to the division; and this, ke thought, should not be permitted. Where was it to stop? If the | brigade major was allowed to get a law passed to suit h s | own peculiar views, the captain would next claim thesame | privilege, and after that th@ corporal would insist upon | a similar right. All thete officers aro of course entitled | to be heard, butit is neceesary for tho very existence of | | the army that disctpline should be preserved. Suppose the Brigadier Major should endeavor in time of war to interfere with the mauagement of the divisionsy Mem- bers may say that weuld be adifferent matter; but ia | time of peace no interference should be suffered which would not be countenanced then, Mr, Coleman read a | letter from Major General Hall, stating the grounds upon which he ‘and other officers opposed the bill, and the sections to which they objocted. In conclus‘on Mr. C. stated that he did not koow anything about money matters in the bri 0 bill had reference in some of its sections, but he desired to prevent what he could not but consider to be rebellion in time of peace, and to oppose any action which woald look like | mutiny againss the general and field officers of the brigade. Mr. Warimncry was glad that the frionds of the bill bave an opportunity afforded them not only to reply to m telegraphic despatch, but also to a protest signed by Major Generals Sanaford, Hall, and others of the oppo- nents of the bill He desired here to state that he cid not in this intend any disrespect or imputation against the gentleman who had received the telegraphic despatch ia the Assembiy, and whose honor and integrity all the | power of the fifth brigade could not move. As the ques: | tion stood, it was an issue between the rank and tile— between the men who shoulder the musket and those | who wear the yellow plume. If many years’ experience in the ranks entitled a member to be heard on behalf of the former, he might claim the right to speak. It was scarcely to be supposel that the men who carry a heavy musket for Lours beneath a burning sun, waiting for field officers to parade them up Broad- way, would be very well disposed towarda those Major Generals who are se sparing of their own labor and so indifferent to the convenience of the men. And yet it was eonsidered quite presumptuous for a captain, or any inferior officer to raise his voice and endeavor to remedy abuses and insure reforms in the manageme! division, He war glad, however, in occupyi this Assembly—a position he deemed more than the highest rank in the brigade—to be able to ture upon attempting this retorm—one, he would sa: which had received the approbation of Major Sprague, of the United States army, an officer every way batter qualified to judge of its merits than was Major General Sandford. The bill hal’been framed for the purpore of se. curing the better regulation of the First division, which be looked upon as the conservative power in New York, for the present police force, without its aid, would be inadequate to suppress riots, and to preserve peace and order. No person could deny that there fbould be a nucleus formed, around which the military of the State could concentrate. And where else should that nucleus be but in New York, the point that would be Orst attacked, shoul! our countey ever be menaced by « foreign fos. All the State, then, waa interested the proper regulation and management ¢f this division. Mr. Waterbury explained the matter of the money sec- Mons in the bill, At present, Maj. Sanford controls the money received, according to law, for the support of uniformed companies. It should go direct to the division, and they should mot be obliged to beg it of the Division Board. He assured the House a ought to be countenanced in the division; but the obje:t was simply to enable tl inspector to do his duty, so that he could inspect the brigade thoroughly, and report to the State the position in which it stands. There was another object, too, in the bill. It seeks to make the Major General do his duty, and if he does to do that, he had better resign, Mr W. rey course now taken by the field officers on O ® hurorous manner, and dill obliged bim to exercise the troops, as well as to stand upon the steps with his hat in his hand as they passed before him Ho allu ted to threa whichfhad been ured by Brigadier General Hall of dis banding bis Saeerty if Major Cocks or Cay Water. bury persisted this movement, and declared that he did not regard them. In comclasion, he deslare’ that it was right that the chief officers of the should do their duty as cheerfully as the rank and file did their's, or should the pos'tionr bolt.

The report specifies the many | encroachments made upon the it river’ and the New | York side of the Hudson, On the Jersey shore the oaly encroachments made upon the Hudson that the com. | mittee deem prejudicial, are the docks of the New Jerney | Railroad Company, and of the Canard steamships, which | are constructed under authority claimed tobe conferred | by the charter of the Jersey Associates. These extensions of docks and the filling up aeat Hoboken, the committee | regard as very injurious to the Sandy Hook ceannel, and | to the Passaic and Hackensack rivers. The report was very elaborate in its statements of the encroachments | and their effects on the navigation of the bay and hi bor, and embodies a letter from Major Delafield, of t New Jersey Engineers, who has examined carefully the whole subject. As the injuries to navigation and com- merce are mace under the authority of New York, the | committee recommend the passageof ,s joint resolution authorizing the Governor to appoint three commissioners to survey and establish a line on the Hudson from some | point above Hoboken to Newark bay, beyond which it | | sha)! not be lawful to construct piers or docks.

DES MOINES.—A GENTLEMAN RECENTLY from Iowa, thus speaks of this important point: ix or eight years since this promising town contained but a few log cabins, occupied by a small garrison of United States troops, which, with a few Indians, consti- tuted its chief inhabitants. ‘Its present population num- bers about one thousand; ‘but this comparatively small increase is wholly attributable to the extensive specula- tions in public lands which, for several years bas s0 generally inonopolized the attention of its present in- habitants. But the rich country that abounds in this region, having been fer the most part disposed of, and the wild prairie turned into cultivated farms, the attean- tion of the citizens of Fort Des Moines has become more recently employed in. the advancoment of their town, and their enterprite and public epirit in this respect has won for them a popularity that makes Fort Des Moines, (what, in point of geographical location it is, in fact,) the centre of attraction to lowa. Within the last year two academic schools have been established, and are now in a rapid increase of usefulness. A land office and three banking houses are doing a prosperous business here, boned ale has increased one-third since 1853, Fort Dex Moines contains, also, a lyceum of natural his- tory, embodying in its corporation ali the most eminent citizens of the town, whose ultimate object is not only to develope the natural history of that beautiful State, but the whole _— west to the Rocky Mouutains will be their field for future exploration. No cirew could have contributed more to the popularity of this far western hemlet than the incorporation of its citizens for purpores so important to the history of that country as aré now demonstrated by their éxtensive collections, Agreeable to the recommendation of the present Governor of Iowa, and in accordance with the universal opinion of all influential men of that region, this valuable cabinet is destined, at no distant day, to become aState institution, Hitherto it ha: tirely supported by the private subscriptio members, and, therefore, its operations materi i cur ‘tate, it 1s difficult to imagine limits to its usefulness. It is to such men and to sch measures that Fort Des Moines iy indebted for its present prosperity and influence; and with its ealubriour climate, and surrounded with an ex- tensive region of country, containing a rich and fertile soil, its water communication and central position be- tween two of the largest rivera on the continent, it re- quires no effort of the imagination to see Fort Des Moines the great central mart of lowa. The recent loca- tion of the capital at this point is but a just tribute of litical importance to this flourishing town, whose in- abitants are proverbially styled the scientific pioneers of the West.
