BOUNTY BILLS DISPOSED OF. | Report of the Senate Committee in Favor of Bounties in the future, Additional Developments in Regard to the Senate Caucus on the MeClel- Jan Resolutions, wa Conservative Bepublicans Refuse to Be Bound by the Caucus. A BREACH MADE IN THE PARTY. Refusal of Republicans to Partici- pate in Another Caucus, kb, ae, ALAANY, Feb, 19, 1663. Colonel De Witt C. Littlejohn, former Speaker of the Assembly, was on the floor of the House during the scasion this morning. He has just returned from Now Orleans, and bas sent in his resignation, to take effect om the 3d of March, He says that he feels bound to ‘Obey the instructions of his constituents as last ex Pressed. Having been elected aa a member of the next ‘Congress, he has taken this course to retain his seat in ‘the House of Representatives. The Senate resolution recommending Senators and Representutives in Congress from this State to render ull -aasistance in their power to the Allotment Commissioners, *ppointed under law of Congress to carry out the allot ‘ment system with the troops from this State, was adopted ‘in the House. ‘The Assembly considered several bills in the Committee of the Whole, One of the uumber was a bounty Dill applying to the city of Buffalo. ‘The joint rule for th» gov ernment of both houses in their proceedings with each other, long since adopted by the Senate, were voncurred in, and after lengthy discussion the rules for the govern ment of tho Assembly were also adopted. We have thus far beon working without auy rules, The Assembly then ‘wont into the consideratiog of the Annual Appropriation bill. Most @the morning session of the Senate was taken up in tue consideration of the Assembly amendments to the several bounty bills, The amendments were all concurred 1m, aud this disposes of ali the principal bounty bills of the session, including the power of town officers to audit ac- counts and allow bounty olaims; legalizing the act of Governor Morgan in paying bounty money before it was ordered by @ vote of the Legislature ; legalizing the acis of supervisors in levying taxes, and authorizing turtber levies of taxes, if necessary. There are none of this clags of bills lert tone oF two local bills apply- ing to city or county, which could be incinded in a general Dill. The p.om) tness with sh this matter has Dbeeu of speaks well for th , and is a credit to the Legts ature. ‘the Senate Committese on Public Devence reported a Dill authorizing the payment to all those soldiers who ep listed in the regiments uider the call of the President in 1861 for two years who will re enlist a State bounty of ove hondred dollars, and for all other volunteers a ‘Douuty of seventy five dollars. The balunce of the ses sion of the Senate was taken uf'in the.general routine of sninons. Additional developments are constantly tranepiring in relation to the Senatorial caucus on the McClellan reso. tutions. It appears that these men, with all the im- portance that their imagiuation could conceive they poswessod, by virtue of their being the wearers of the Senatorial toga, as soon as they wore sately ¢loseted in the Senate cloak room, where they supposed the entire world was ght out, and thut their discussions would always remaiw & sealed book and never find their way into the news; let louse their feelings und roteaiea tneir true Datu: One Senator foamed aud fretted like declaring that McClellan was trying to make dictator, and that these journeys through the country and resolutions of "invitation were | ali made for the purpose of hastening the accomplishment of their object. His speech reminds me of the old adage that ‘* whony the gods would destroy they first make mad,” The radical storm continued in this caucus for some time, although they were about three tu one on the other side. The only thing in which they exhibited any greater wors than the other side was in their exhibition of otry, disgracerul to auy person in this age, and in Queir great facility of repeating the many refuted libele upon MeClellan that baye from time to time appeared in the New York ?rilame, whove editor tried to get MeClel Jan cut of the way, so that he might bring about a disso- lution of the Uniou, Sewators on the other side. when they found that the Party whip was being applied to their backs, and that the | Yadicals purposed to chain their consciences with stronger | Ddonds than those which ever chained a slave of the South, | they , the conservative republicans, denounced the radi- | cals in bitter terme for attempting to bind them by a sacone decree on w question like this, deckering that they wonld not be bound by the action of @ caucns = It was in one time * diamond cut diamond’! between them. wat the caucus is over, two of the republican Sena tors have declared openly before their colleagues that they | will net participate in another public cauous during this | who were abeent have given notice to the | cane’ bind them on that question, Thus on open breach bas been effected in the ravks of the republicans in the Senate.

Importance of the Telograph in Gale NAVIGATION MADE EASY, Bee den &e ‘The system of signalizing mariuers who may be nayi- gating off or on, or lying in or about to enter any of the Ports of the United Kingdom, the approach of storms, as well as indicating to them the quarter from which the blew or gale may be expected, which has been Inte!y por- fected by Admiral R. Fitzroy, R.N now worked by that Officer, with the sanction and afd of the English govern- ment, to groat advantage for the saving of life aud pro- perty during those severe visitations which 80 suddenly aillict seafaring men and craft near the British islands. Admiral Fitzroy, as most of our readers are aware, is the author of the ‘*Weather Book,’ a publicatien which enables those who study it attentively to “forecast,” by simple barometrical and thermometrieal observations, the sort of weather which will be experienced within from twenty-four to thirty hours, or even two days, after the observations are made. The personal remarks of the Admiral on she variations of the weather for many years, coupled with deductions drawn by bim from an analysis | of very comprehensive and accurate weather tables, fur- nished for his use from the main shore aud coast points of England, Ireland, Scotland and the Channel Islands, re- sulted in bis arranging this system of recasts,"’ by which he maintains he has been enabled to get ‘*ahoad” as it were, of storm, and thus warn all persons likely to be directly affected by it, 80 as to enable them to make ‘‘all taut’’ if tm port, and to remain in harbor or “stand off shore,’’ just as they find best in order to avoid the danger of which he tells them. The approach of a storm is signalized by means of @ “storm drum’ and cone, hoisted, together or singly, on » pole, ina certain position, as indicated by the wood cut | published in the HxnaLp to-day. The position of the “storm drum’? and cone denotes the quarter or point from which the storm may be looked for, and these positions, being arbitrarily fixed, represent to navigators the direction from which the “forecasted’’ gust may reach them almost as plainly as if they were looking at | the compass after it commenced. If displayed at night { the drums are lighted. Thus previous to the commencement of the late gales on the English coast, to which reference is made under- neath, the following orders were telegraphed from Lon- don to Liverpool by Admiral Fitzroy relative to the exbi-gq bition of the STORM SIGNALS.

Similar warnings were despatched by the Admiral to the other stations on the coast. Admiral Fitzroy works his system of meteorological warnings most beautifully, in connection with what may be termed the kindred science cf electric telegraphing. ‘Thus, when he “forecasts” a storm, he immediately tele- graphs to the main “signal drum’’ stations directions to hoist the drum, so as to give warning of ao galo, as well as to point out the quarter from which it will come. Tne signals are displayed first at the poiat on which it is calonlated the storm will first strike, and from this they go up in regular order, by sec- tions of tbe coast, giving warning iu advance of its ad vent. From each ‘drum station,” taking it as a contre, the intelligence is telegraphed to places from which the “drum” cannot be seen; so that Admiral Fitzroy may be said to omploy the tamed electricity of the telegraph to save men’s lives and property from the offects of the un- controiled electricity of the storm. ‘The collectors of English customs and revenue officers Btationed aloug the coast are all instructed lo be aiding and assisting Admiral Fitzroy in carrying ont his plan of storm signals 40 far as they can do so without interfering with their regular duties, and the majority of tnese ofl cialg have, at one time or other, borne testimony to its Great willty,, ‘Tale wan moro Pariioulerty, demenstrased the case of the violent gale which visited the English coast from Saturday, the 17th, to y, the 19th of January.
