Congressional. 
June 12tli.' —Senate.— This body met and ad¬ 
journed without doing any business. 
House.— The House did nothing of impor¬ 
tance to-day. 
June 13. —Senate.— Senator Fish, of New 
Y ork, presented a remonstrance from the Cham¬ 
ber of Commerce of that city, against the bill 
pending in the Senate changing the law respect¬ 
ing the essay office. 
Resolutions were offered to fix the time of 
final adjournment, and also to change the hour 
of meeting for the daily session, which the Sen¬ 
ate refused to consider, and then resumed the 
consideration of the Veto of the Insane Land 
Bill, and Mr. Cass proceeded to address the 
Senate, sustaining the course pursued by the 
President. 
House.— On motion of Mr. McDougal, of Cal., 
the further consideration of the Pacific Railroad 
Bill was postponed till the 2d Monday in De¬ 
cember next. 
The House then resumed consideration of Mr. 
Giddings’ resolution in favor of expelling Judge 
Nicholson, ot the “ Union,” from his customary 
privilege on the floor, and the resolution laid on 
the table. 
The House agreed upon a resolution fixing 
the adjournment on the 30th of August. 
June 14. —Senate.— Mr. Gwin introduced a 
joint resolution in favor of permitting Lieut. 
Maury to accept of a gold medal, as a testimo¬ 
nial from His Majesty the King of Sweden. 
Mr. Walker gave notice that the friends of 
the Homestead Bill would make an effort to 
take it up on Monday next, and continue the 
discussion until disposed of. 
The House resolution fixing a period for ad¬ 
journment of Congress, was considered. 
Mr. Gwin moved an amendment to the reso¬ 
lution so as to take a recess from July 17th to 
16th October, which was adopted, and the reso¬ 
lution passed. 
House —On motion, went into Committee of 
the Whole, and took up the civil and diplomatic 
appropriation' bill, which was discussed at 
length. 
June 15. —Senate.— Mr. Sumner presented 
the credentials of Mr. Rockwell, recently ap¬ 
pointed Senator in the place of Mr. Everett.— 
They were read, and Mr. R., after being quali¬ 
fied, took his seat. 
Mr. Pierce, of Md., from the Committee on 
Finance, reported back, with amendments, the 
bill providing for the payment of certain credit¬ 
ors in Texas. 
The Senate then proceeded to consider the 
bill passed by the House for the extinguish¬ 
ment, of the Indian titles in Minnesota and Wis¬ 
consin. 
House.— The House proceeded to consider 
the bill increasing the rates of land postage in 
the United Slates. 
Mr. Gerrit Smith moved an amendment pro¬ 
viding tor the act to remain in force two years, 
and at the expiration ot that time the Post Of¬ 
fice Department should be abolished, and indi¬ 
viduals and associations shall be at liberty to 
carry the mails. 
June 16. — Senate. — The private calendar 
was taken up. 
The bill to increase the rates of land postage 
was discussed. Mr. Olds, of Ohio, supported 
the bill, showing that the 5 and 1(1 cent postage 
caused a surplus in the revenue of $2,500,0(10 
yearly, while the 3 and 5 cent system made a 
deficiency at the rate ot $.>00,00(1 per annum. 
The amendment offered by Gerrit Smith to 
abolish the Post Office Department altogether, 
was B rejected, and then the bill itself was also 
laid on the table. 
June 17. —House.— The bill to increase the 
salaries ot the Executive and Judiciary officers 
ot all the territories of the United States, was 
read a third time and passed. 
A bill to adjust the expenses of the Oregon 
and Cayuse war, and various other territorial 
bills, were passed. 
The bill providing for the establishment of a 
weekly mail between the Atlantic ports and 
California, was taken up, and, after a long de- 
b/te, postponed till a week from Tuesday. 
A motion was then made to take up the reso¬ 
lution fixing a day for the final adjournment. 
The motion was, however, lost, aiid the House 
adjourned. 
A Novel Affair. 
Friday afternoon, E. K. Collins, Capt. Nye,of 
the Pacific, Col. Borden, Horatio Allen and 
Thomas B. Stillman and others, in all twenty- 
two persons, sat down to a lunch, upon temper¬ 
ance principles, inside of the gigantic cylinder 
of the steamboat Metropolis, now being finish¬ 
ed at the decks of the Novelty Works, for the 
Fall River Line. 
This enormous cylinder is 105 inches in di¬ 
ameter, working with 12 feet stroke. It is 13 
feet and 8 inches in length, and 34,099 pounds 
in weight. A horse and carriage passed through 
the cylinder several times without difficulty, 
and it looked large enough for an omnibus to 
pass through. 
After the dinner was over, 101 men stood in 
the cylinder without difficulty, and it could 
have held several more. 
The success of the engineers, in casting a 
perfect cylinder of such unusual dimensions, 
reflects additional credit upon the Novelty 
Works of this city.— JY. Y. Tribune. 
Patrick Henry’s Son.— The youngest son of 
Patrick Henry died not long ago, poor and 
alone, in a public house in Floyd county, Va.— 
Recently the tavern keeper applied to the over¬ 
seers of tiie poor, for a special grant to indemnify 
him for boarding, funeral expenses, <kc. This 
was refused on the ground that retrospective 
appropriations are unauthorized, and that it 
would be establishing improper precedent. I 
called to see the old man some months before 
he died; his given name was Nathaniel. He 
said he was young whe n his father died, but he 
remembered him perfectly, and was pleaded to 
talk about him. His clothes were clean, but not 
whole. There was evidently a struggle between 
his pride of ancestry and his present poverty. 
He has been teaching what is here called an old 
field school, for amusement, as he insinuated, 
but from necessity, as I knew. His health fail¬ 
ing, he removed to a hotel in Jacksonville, and 
was kept by the host for a year or more, who 
presumed that some relatives or friends would 
defray his expenses. He died with dropsy of 
the etiest, in a few moments after the operation 
of tapping had been performed. 
Money Lost in the Mails.— An applicant for 
a patent, on his withdrawal of his application, 
instructed the Commissioner of Patents to for¬ 
ward to him by mail the sum of $20 due him 
from the government on said withdrawal. The 
money was sent agreeably to liis instructions, 
and was lost in course of transmission. On his 
application to be remunerated said sum, it was 
held that the Post Office Department is estab¬ 
lished for the convenience of the people, and is 
a medium for them to transmit and receive in¬ 
telligence ami all mailable matter; but it is not 
an insurance office. The postage charged is no 
more, in the estimation of Congress, than a fair 
compensation for the services rendered, and is 
not a reward for any risk run in conveying mail- 
able matter. If the Postmaster General, or the 
President and Senate, have appointed a dis¬ 
honest Postmaster, the United Stales are not 
bound to remunerate the loss an individual sus¬ 
tained by his having violated the law ; and no 
liability is imposed on the United States in this 
case, from the fact that they were the trustees 
of said applicant, and sent the money by mail 
as he directed.— Washington Star, 9th.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE. 
There has been no arrival from the Isthmus nor of any 
foreign steamer during the week, but the departures have 
been regular, and taken out the usual modicum of coin 
and bullion on foreign account, amounting in the aggre¬ 
gate to about a million and a half. 
Money is stringent in commercial cities, and is likely to 
be more so. Stocks are falling and something of a bearish 
feeling predominates among the brokers. 
The Union Bank, of this city, has declared a quadren¬ 
nial dividend of three per cent, payable in July. Business 
on the Canal is active and boats go loaded East and West, 
and although navigation opened thirteen days later this 
season than last, the aggregate of tolls is not far below 
that of the previous year, with a prospect of an excess be¬ 
fore the close of navigation.

Rochester, June 22, 1854. j

ued to decline, and wheat, during the past week, lias fallen

and millers are reluctaut to pay eyen that, anticipating 
further reductions. Corn is also lower, selling at 70@72c. 
Butter and eggs higher aud scarce for the season, gro¬ 
cers paying 15 cents for the former, and 14 for the latter. 
Potatoes plenty and lower, bringing by the load four to 
live shillings per bushel.

New Hampshire Politics.— Great interest, is 
excited on the subject of New Hampshire poli 
tics just now, as it is usually one of the staunch¬ 
est Democratic States in the Union, and the 
home of General Pierce. The Legislature met 
and organized by the choice of Democratic offi¬ 
cers, but the Nebraska question lias produced a 
smuggle on the question of U. S. Senators and 
a State Printer ; and thus far the difficulty has 
not been surmounted. There are two Senators 
to be elected—one for a full term, and the other 
to fill a vacancy— Welles and Hibbard hein 
the Nebraska administration candidates. Two 
ballots for the short term were had, without 
success, \\ KLLKS failing ot a majority by twelve 
votes. 
A Race for Life.— As a train of cars on the 
Old Colony Railroad was on its way for Brain¬ 
tree, a tew days since, the engineer discovered 
at some distance ahead an old horse grazing on 
the track. The whistle was immediately made 
to utter its most, alarming shriek, when the 
horse signified his cognizance of the “ugly cus¬ 
tomer” in his wake, by very loudly neighing, 
and a lofty tumbling of the heels. But instead 
of clearing the track, the animal started off as 
if for a long heat, pursued his rapid course di¬ 
rectly along the rails, and on came the thunder¬ 
ing engine after him. Thus for half a mile or 
more the ancient race horse “held his own, 
but soon began to lag, and finding ihat the odds 
were a little too much against him, he plunged 
off Lhe track into a ditch of deep mud, which 
proved nearly as hazardous to life, and made 
him look like anything but a horse as he emerg¬ 
ed .—Boston Transcript. 
Rook Island Railroad.— The papers for a 
couple of weeks back, have been flooded with 
correspondence from excursionists who availed 
themselves of the Rock Island Railroad cele¬ 
bration to visit the Falls of St. Anthony. Two 
trains started from Chicago, containing nearly 
twenty car-loads of passengers, who,, on arriv¬ 
ing at the Island, crowded six steamboats, and 
visited the Falls. The railroad company ex¬ 
pended $30,000 on this celebration, and think 
it cheap advertising at that. The cholera broke 
out among the excursionists on the way, and 
one man died, which occurrence created a good 
deal of alarm, and something of a stampede. 
Comfortable Apparel.— The London Times 
pays the following compliment to the dress ol 
the British soldier: 
“ Loaded like a dray-horse, belted and strap¬ 
ped in like a dandy of the time of George IV., 
throttled by his stock, extinguished by his hern- 
let, and compressed to suffocation by his belts 
the British soldier appears by the side of bus 
■french rival a monument of our folly and our 
obstinacy, a » impersonation of the blunders of 
the past, and a di-credit to the enlightenment 
ot the present; and all this because there is no 
authority strong enough to interfere with the 
piohu c.t clothing colonels, and to rescue the 
soldier from the tyranny of costume and the iron 
dominion of routine.” 
English Press at the Seat of War.— It is 
said that the English papers have their own re¬ 
porters in the Turkish camp. The Morning 
Chronicle is represented by Captain Maxwell, 
an officer of the East India Company’s service, 
who handles sword and pen with equal ability ; 
he accompanies the Turks in their expeditions 
against the Russians, and took an active part in 
the battle of Oltenitza. Mr. Crowe, of the Il¬ 
lustrated London News, lounges about in the 
camp, and at the outposts, always sketch-book 
and pencil in hand, and draws seen s of camp 
bfe. The Daily News has two corespondents 
at Widdin and Rutschuk, Mr. E. L. Goodkin, 
the author of a good illustrated history of Hun¬ 
gary, and the Rev. J. C. Richmond, an Ameri¬ 
can clergyman. 
Silistria, or as the Turks call it, Drista, which 
is just now so hard pushed by the Russians, is 
an important post, at the head of ship naviga¬ 
tion on the Danube. It is a town of about the 
size of Syracuse, standing on the south side of 
the river, in Bulgaria, about 275 miles from Con¬ 
stantinople. it is the capital of the sub-prov¬ 
ince in which it is situated. It is strongly for¬ 
tified, and its capture would give the Russians 
at that point, command of both sides of the 
river. At the last advices 25,0(10 men had been 
detailed to storm it. The bridge which the 
Russians are said to have constructed across the 
river, is of boats probably, as the stream there 
is very wide.— Eve. Journal. 
Secretary Davis has recently submitted a re¬ 
port to the House ot Representatives, by which 
it api ears that during the year ending OcL 1, 
1853, not less than twenty-five steamboats were 
snagged on the western rivers, occasioning a de¬ 
struction of property to the amount of $1,250,- 
000. Property lost by sinking of fiat boats, es¬ 
timated at $255,000. Estimated value of steam¬ 
boats sunk, $100,000. The annual loss of prop¬ 
erty from steamboat disasters on the Mississippi 
and tributaries, exceeds $2,000,000. 
A statement is going the rounds of the press, 
to the effect that there are about 17,000 Israel¬ 
ites in the United States, and among them all, 
that not one is engaged in agriculture. This 
statement, it is hardly necessary to say, is incor¬ 
rect, One of the largest planters in Kentucky, 
Mr. Benj. Gratz.an old personal friend of Henry 
Clay, is an -Israelite, while in South Carolina 
and Georgia, and other States, there ate many 
of that ancient faith extensively engaged in ag¬ 
riculture.

THE WOOL GROWER AND STOCK REGISTER, 
Vol. VI. — Enlarged and Improved! 
The fact that the circulation of the W. G. & 8. R. has 
more than trebled during the past two years, and is daily 
increasing, induces us to venture an enlargement and im¬ 
provement, which will at once render the work far more 
acceptable and valuable, if not indispensable, to all engaged 
>n Wool Growing, the breeding of Improved Stock, or the 
rearing of Domestic Animals generally. Though our 
arrangements are not entirely completed, we can safely 
announce that — 
On the commencent of its Sixth Volume, July, 1854, the 
Wool Grower and Stock Register will be enlarged to 
Thirty Two Pages monthly, printed upon new and hand¬ 
some type, and essentially improved in other respects. 
The Yearly Volume will comprise 384 octavo pages,* or 
double the number contained in the present, (exclusive of 
the advertising cover, which will probably be omitted.) — 
This will give ample room for the discussion of many sub¬ 
jects which require attention, but which «e can scarcely 
notice with our present limited space. Among other 
matters, we propose to publish Pedigrees of pure bred 
cattle, horses, sheep, &c., and to give the n: m.-s, residence, 
&c., of the principal breeders of Improved so ck through¬ 
out the country — for the mutual benefit of owners and 
those desirous of purchasing. 
Arrangements are making to improve the quality, as 
well as increase the amount of reading matter. Regarding 
the reliability and value of its Contents as of far mine 
importance than the size or appearance of the paper, we 
shall endeavor to secure the assistance, as contributors to 
its pages, of the best and most experienced wriers on the 
various subjects discussed,—and cordially invite the co¬ 
operation of all disposed to aid in enhancing its value and 
usefulness. 
Although we hope to double the value of the paper, its 
subscription price will not be increased — except perhaps 
to clubs of 20 or over. Single copies will be furnished at 
Fifty Cents—5 copies for $2, and 8 for $3. SST The first 
five volumes, bound in colored paper, will be sent post-paid, 
and the numbers of the 6th volume as issued, for S3. 
The attention of all interested in the subjects and objects 
of a Stock Journal, is respectfully solicited. The readei s 
of the Rural New-Yorker are especially invited to give the 
W. G. & S. R. an examination, and, if approved, their en¬ 
couragement. Specimen numbers, &c, cheerfully sent, 
gratis, to all applicants. Address

EMERY’S PATENT RAILROAD HORSE POWER. 
This Horse Power lias, for several successive years, been 
subjected to many severe tests, both scientific and practi¬ 
cal, in public and private, under every variety of circum¬ 
stances and against the strongest competition throughout 
the United Suites, including California and Oregon. It 
has also met with great favor in Great Britain, as well as 
many of the continental countries of Europe, Asia and 
Africa; its superiority lias been established in every in¬ 
stance beyond acontingency. 
Among the peculiar properties of this Power, not pos¬ 
sessed by any other in use, and which give to it its chief 
merit and popularity, are the folio iving :—The Gears are 
outside the Power, (not under the horses) easily accessible 
and readily cared for. There being but two gears and one 
internal or converge gear and all with their teeth made 
very accurately upon the most approved form, insures 
strength as well as smooth and equal action, and avoids 
unnatural wear and friction. 
These gears, as well as the pullv, may be instantly trans¬ 
posed, by means of their couplings aud fastenings, from 
side to side, or top’roduce different degrees of foiceand 
motion, thereby allowing a slower pace for the horses 
without, in any degree, lessening the effect. This last fea¬ 
ture, together with a longer platform for the horses, is of 
great importance, and are among its most prominent fea¬ 
tures. Very little increased friction or retardation is pro¬ 
duced by any amount of wear, as is the case with most 
other Powers. 
All the gears, pulleys, &c., are so constructed that the 
greatest stress, in all cases, is applied to those of the o-reat- 
est diameters, their strength being proportioned to the 
squares of their respective velociiies; while with most 
others the opposite state of facts exists, and necessarily the 
weakest parts are those most exposed to wear and difiu ult 
of access and care. Again, the sections of the endless 
platform being longer make a stronger and more durable 
plank floor for the horses. The platform returns over 
large circuits at each end, and is easily kept adjusted as to 
tightness, by means of tightening bolts at the forward end.
