STATES. From the Washington Union, March 10. Tli Senate adjourned to-night, at a few minutes past 9 o'clock, after a session in closed doors, of nine hours. The labors of the Senate have been very severe for fcevcral days. We congratulate the country on the re sult of their deliberations. The treaty has been ratified, it is understood, by a vote of 58 to 15 three senators being absent. The Constitution provides that ( lie (the President, shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur. It is also understood that the votes, both of the majority and minority, are made up of both political parties. It is said that the original treaty has been ratified with some modifications as propo sed by the President, or adopted by the Senate. The seal of secrcsy has not been remov ed ; and in fact we do not understand that any proposition Avas made to that eftect. It cannot, therefore, be expected that we should, at this time, enter into-any specifi cations uf the precise modifications which which have been adopted, or of the names of the senators who voted in the affirmative or negative. It is presumed, however, that the boundary line, as said to have been originally specified by the treat', or the amount of money to be paid, has not been changed by these modifications. The Senate have adjourned over till Tu esday next, for the purpose of enjoying some relaxation, after the severe labors to which thev have been subjected for the mi last two weeks." The injunction of sccresy has not been removed by the Senate, from the proceedings on the treaty; and from the language of the Union, wc juUc th.it no official copy of that document, or tht procccKm;s on it, wiH be made public until it shall have been ratified or rejected by Mexico. lt the New York True Sun, we find the vote given on the Treaty, which shows that somebody h;is ' let the cat out of the bag." We therefore puMish the vote, remarking that we also find it in the Wilmington Commercial, in precisely the sum: form, taken from the New York Herald, together with a syaopsii of the provisions of the Treaty, ;is follows : KF.I'ORTKn PROVISION'S OF, AND VOTE ON, THE TREATY.

The free navigation of the Gulf of California and of the rivei Colorado, from the mouth of the Gulf, is secured to the United States. ' , -Article fourth stipulates that it shall be op tional with citizens of Mexico now residing in territory to be ceded, either to leave, taking with them or otherwise disposing of their property; or else, upon taking the oaths of allegiance to this government, to be protected in the enjoy ment of all the rights and immunities of citizens of the United, states. The next article provides that the United State? government shall take prompt and effectual measures for the defence of the border from Indian incursions. To this end, both nations are to use their best endeavors. In consideration of the extension of the boun dary of the United States, made by this treaty, the United States government stipulates to pay to Mexico the sum of fifteen millions of dollars. In this sum is included the three millions ap propriated last session for the furtherance of peace, and now subject to Mr Trist's order. This sum is to be paid to the Mexican government immediately on the ratification of the treaty. The remaining twelve millions are to be paid in four annual instalments, bearing six per cent interest from the ratification of the treaty by Mexico. No portion of this sum is to be trans ferable. ' According to the article, the United States government undertakes all claims of American citizens against Mexico, both those already de cided, and those still undecided the whole, however, not to amount to more than three millions and a quarter of dollars. The Mexican archives found by us after the taking possession of the ceded territory, are to be-delivered up. The treaty of commerce of 1S0I, between the two republics, is to be revived for the period of eight years, and may afterwards be renewed at the option of both governments. 1 he custom houses are to be restored to the Mexican authorities as soon as the treaty shall have been ratified. Means are to be adopted for settling the accounts. The troops of the United States are to leave Mexico in thre months after the ratification of the treaty, unless the sickly season should come on, in which event they are to return to some healthy situation, and are to the furnished with supplies by the Mexican government, on amicable terms. The supplies which may arrive between the ratification of the treaty and the embarkation of the troops, are not to be subject to duty. The treaty is to be ratified bv the President nvtd Senate, and to be exchanged within four months after its ratification. The boundary of New Mexico is to be defined as laid down in Disturnell's map of Mexico, pub lished at New York, in 1S47. HUMAN MAGNETISM. Dr B. B. Williams lias been lecturing in this place, on this subject, since Monday last. to Tory respectable and full audiences. We believe tbat a majority of bis audience are satisfied tbat bis experiments are wioj.li good faith, while others discredit them. We shall probably notTctrtne mun length next week. FUSS IN CHINA. Th ship Panama arrived at New York on the 13th inst., with dates from Canton to 12th Dec, which state that a serious fracas had occurred between the English and the Chinese, in which six of the English were killed, and the vessels of war lying at Canton immediate ly declared the place in a state of blockade. Fifteen thousand dollars were stolen from the vault of the Exchange bank, of Petersburg, some time be tween 1st of Jan. and lCth of Feb. last, but the robbery not discovered until within a few days back. A reward of $2500 is offered for the recovery of the money, says the Richmond Republican. Qg- AVm.' White, a white man, living witliiu 5 miles of Richmond. Va., was murdered at his house, on the night of Saturday last, in the presence of bis wife (who was also nearly killed) and a small negro girl. He was murdered by a negro, as the girl said. He had foolishly boasted of having amassed several hundred dollars, and this prize the murderer took care to secure. Two negroes have been ar rested, snys the Richmond Republican. Another riot among the firemen took place in Balti more on Sunday last, in which several persons were killed and wounded. Several thousand men in a general fight great disorder in the city. A large number arrested. 3- The packet ship West Point, says the New York True Sun, on her pass sge from Liverpool to New York, was struck by lightning seven times within an hour. Two men were killed. Most of those on deck felt the shocks severely. The fluid passed down the mainmast each time. Majority for the Treaty, 22 Among those voting for the ratification are four who" spoke against it. Of the four Senators nut voting, two are absent from the city Messrs ll uiston and Pearce. ' The articles providing for the confirmation of the (-rants given by the Mexican government in Texas and California, are stricken out ; arid the u lirnportant provision to extend the jurisdiction of the Mexican church over the Catholic clergy in the ceded territory, is also stricken cut. These are the principal modifications. It will be recollected that the treaty indicates two modes of paying the indemnity agreed upon one by the issue of six per cent stocks, or by instalments. The latter mode has been adopted. The three millions subject to Mr Trist's order, are to be paid immediately upon the ratification ofthe treaty by the Mexican government, and the remainder in annual instalments of three millions each, bearing six per cent, interest, to commence from the ratification of the treaty by Mexico. There is a provision against making any part of this sum transferable. The only point omitted in the former synopsis, and preserved in the treaty, is an article secur ing to the United States the free navigation of the Gulf of California, and of the river Colorado frum the mouth of the Gila to the Gulf. The following is a sketch of the articles of the treat v, as adopted by the Senate. It is, probably, ai correct as a compressed sketch can be made: ARTICLES AND PROVISIONS OF THE TREATY, AS ADOPTED BY THE AMERICAN SENATE. Article first appointed Senors Cuevas, Couto, and Atristrain commissioners on the part of the Mexican government to adjust terms of a lasting treaty of peace between the United States of the North and the United Mexican States, with Nicholas P. Trist, commissioner ofthe United States, &c. Article second stipulates that there shall be an immediate suspension of hostilities between the armies ofthe two republics. Article third defines the future boundary of the United States. The line commences in the Gulf of Mexico, three leagues from land; thence runs up the middle ofthe Rio Grande to its intersec tion with the southern boundary of New Mexico; thence along that southern boundary to the wes tern boundary of same ; thence north to the first branch of the Gila which it intersects ; thence down the middle of that branch and of the river to the Colorado; thence itruns across westward- Col. R. M. Johnson, it is said, will be the de mocratic candidate for Governor in Kentucky, in opposition to Mr Crittenden. GEN. PILLOW. We published last Saturday, the proof that this gentleman has been exonerat ed from the charge of writing (against the rules ofthe army) a communication signed "Leonidas," in which his own conduct was highly extolled. Major Burns not only avows that himself is the Democrats 7 j nIItl,or. but that Gen. Pillow had nothinsr to do Total Ayes 31 ... .. r. . . . till It. 111U llllll BlulCU III IIJC ICllti what he (Major Burns) saw; and as he was near Gen. Pillow all the time, during the battle of Churubusco, this accounts for the prominence in the letter of that officer's conduct. We very much doubt whether the troop of whig newspapers which seized upon the " Leoni d is " letter as an excuse for ridiculing and other wise injuring Gen. Pillow, (merely because he was a democrat will ever publish a line to do him justice. THIRTIETH CONGRESS-1 st SESSION. March 6. In the Senate, Mr Benton present ed a memorial from a number of practical print ers ofthe city of Washington, praying that Con gress would establish a press for the execution of the public printing. The memorial was or dered to be printed. The Senate went into ex ecutive session. . In the House, the bill to relieve the Supreme Court Judges from presiding on tbeir circuits for one year, was passed. Mr McKay introduced a bill requiring all moneys receivable for cus toms, to be paid into the Treasury without de lay. A bill to increase the pay of the privates in the war, was read twice. March 7. In the Senate, during the morn ing hour, from 12 to 1 o'clock, nothing of gen eral importance occurred, before the executive session commenced. In the House, an appropriation bill was under consideration. March S. In the Senate, after some business of a light character, the Treaty was taken up in secret session. In the House, a considerable excitement had existed in the discussion of the appropriation for diplomatic communication with Italy. Mr Levin, the native American whig anti-pope re presentative of the mobocracy of Philadelphia, made a very bitter speech against any appropria tion for a mission to Rome. To-day, Mr Charles J. Ingersoll, representative from Philadelphia, replied to Mr Levin. In the first part of his speech, he said he doubted if Mr Levin ever saw a Jesuit. Mr Levin replied that he thought he saw one before him. Mr Ingersoll demanded if the remark was meant as a personal insult. Not at all, said Mr Levin. Mr Ingersoll argued that, although it had been stated that the United States have no commercial dealings with the papal States, and therefore no cause existed for diplo matic intercourse, he could show that a large amount of trade could be secured to the United States, if the proper steps were taken. He spoke highly of the course of the Pope of Rome in tak ing the parthe had taken in favor of civil liberty. He said that the Tope was a soldier before he be came a priest ; that after he became a priest, he visited America, and returned to his own coun try again with all his favorable impressions of civil liberty well fortified. Mr Levin again re plied to Mr Ingersoll, disclaiming all sectarian feeling, &c. After some further discussion, the question was taken upon the appropriation bill to supply deficiencies in the appropriations for the year ending 30th June, ISIS, in which was included the amount necessary to send diploma gontc tn JJaples, the papal States, &.c. The appropriation for the talked of mtssion taitome is another aflair, and if allowed, will be put into the regular annular appropriation bill. March C. In the Senate, Mr Dix presented a memorial from the New York Historical So ciety, praying Congress to adopt measures for a more correct census in 1S50. The Senate at 20 minutes past 12 went into executive session. In the House, Mr Robt Smith introduced a bill to authorize the President to have a certificate of his merits given to every officer, non-commissioned officer and private, who hes served, or may serve, in the war with Mexico; written on parchment of suitable size, and with appropriate devices. Mr Stephens said the whole subject was under consideration by the military com mittee. The balance of the day was consumed in debating a bill granting bounty lands to such non-commissioned officers, musicians and pri vates, as have been promoted to commissions. No action was taken on the bill to-dny. March 10. In the Senate, the Vice President presented a petition from citizens of the District of Columbia, and others, praying Congress to purchase Mount Vernon, the resting place of George Washington, "first in war, first in peace," Sec. The Senate again proceeded to executive business. In the House, a little fracas occurred between Mr Haralson of Georgia, and Mr Jones of Tenn.. which gave rise to some debate or conversation. The gentlemen apologized to the House for the "ebullition of feeling" which led to the blows, and the turning over of one ofthe desks. They afterwards shook hands, apologized to each other, and there was no more of it. The cause of the disagreement is not given by the Reporters. No business was done in consequence, and the House adjourned till Monday, 13th. Cd"- The Observer seems to be ignorant of the fact that the issue of Treasury notes is called "a loan." But it is only pretended ignorance, to attempt to show ignorance in the Carolinian. We asserted that the, administration of Mr Tyler couldpliG.orrow money under the law of the whig 'CongresSof 1S41, on a G per cent, stock ; but had to borrow upon the faith of Treasury notes; Is that true, or is it not? No shuffling. Is it not also a fact that the Tyler administra tion could not only not borrow money in this coujptry upon a six per cent, stock, as the whig Congress proposed, but sent an agent to Great Britain, with the same ill success. We have now before us the New Y'ork True Sun, which men tions this same fact, and says that the Rothschild Bankers said to the Agent, that they could not lend money to a country that could not raise its own bread, alluding to an importation of wheat and potatoes into this country at that period. EPPES, THE MURDERER ARRESTED. Most of our readers will recollect the case of this taan, who murdered a man named Muir, near Petersburg, Va., about two years ago, and secret ed the body in the woods. We learn from the New Orleans Delta that he has been discovered and arrested near Brazos Falls, Texas. He is no doubt in Petersburg by this time He has eluded pursuit for two years. We have received a new daily paper from New Orleans, called the Crescent; a very neat inter esting paper, by Messrs A. II. Hayes and J. C. McClure.

STEAMER BURNED. We learn from the Newborn Republican of the 7th inst., that the steamer Wayne, belonging to the Messrs Dibble, and plying between Newbern and Smithfield, Johnston county, was totally destroyed by fire on the 5th inst. She was nearing the wharf at Newbern from one of her up country trips, when she ran afoul of a schooner, and in the concus sion, abarrel of spirits turpentine was stove, and the spirits ran over the vessel, and on to the sur face of the water. Unfortunately, the fireman (as is customary) was throwing fire out ofthe furnace into the water, and the spirits on the water took fire, and the whole body was in a blaze immediately. The steamer was not insured, but the Messrs Dibble have determined to replace it as early as possible. The Journal of Commerce of the 7th inst., stated that Mr Bancroft, the American Minister at London, had arranged a postal treaty with Great Britain, whereby letters were to be sent to, or received from, Great Britain upon equal terms; and that Cave Johnson, the Postmaster General, had rejected the treaty. (Poor "Cave" has to bear every body's blame.) The Washington Union says that there is not a word of truth in the charge of the Journal of Commerce. That it was the Government of Great Britain that has twice rejected oilers of recipro citv in this matter. MURDER. John Brown, a mulatto'man, killed a white man named James Smith, in Halifax count', N. C, on the 11th instant. Smith had bought a horse from Brown, and was astride of him, when some angry words took place, and Smith jumped down off the horse and attempted to pick up a stick, when Brown stabbed him. He died in a few minutes, and Brown fled im mediately. The Governor offers a reward for him of $100. He is a bright mulatto, blacksmith by trade; 35 years old; about G feet high; broad shoulders and small hips ; a considerable dent in his chin. (jCr- Brown has been caught and is in jail. A GOOD ONE. The Raleigh Standard says that the editor of the Herald, a paper published atWeldon, in this State, in acknowledging the receipt of the second edition of Alamance, re marks that the second edition is as rich as the first." . . The editor of the Herald must have been high ly entertained with theirs edition, if on read ing the second he thought it was " as rich as the first"!! That is the richest joke on an editor we have seen in many a day. Well may the Standard say he is " some per-i amnions." Gen. Houston, in his speech on the ten regi ment bill, in the Senate, delivered February 15, ISIS, gives the Mexican documents, showing the proposition of the priest, McNamara, to the Mex ican government, asking for a grant of lands in California for the purpose of Colonizing 10,000 Irish Catholics, with a view, first f propagating Catholicism, and second, of keeping oil the Amer icans, an anti-Catholic and irreligious nation," (whew-ee irreligious !) This correspondence took place in 1S45 and '46, and on the 4th July, 1S4(3, the proclamation of the Governor of Cali fornia, was issued, confirming the grant to the priest for the purposes named. PENNSYLVANIA. A large majority of the delegates appointed to the Democratic National Convention, by the Pennsylvania State Conven tion, are the friends of Mr BueLanan. A resolu tion was passed pledging Pennsylvania to abide by the decision of the National Convention. Mr Clay was received in New Y'ork on the 7th with'great pomp and circumstance, by his friends. The Washington Union announces the appoint ment of Win. C. Bcttencourt, Esq., as Collector of the Customs at the port of Wilmington, N. C. The democratic members of .the Legislature of Massachusetts have recommended Judge Wood bury as a candidate for President. Pill L'l VrCV- - p m, B. 1S M. ruiA ISKLQN.ui the ISth your of her ago. RALEIGH AND GASTON RAILROAD. We find in the Raleigh Register of March 15th, that the Council of State assembled in Raleigh on Monday the 13th, in obedience to the call of the Governor, to advise him as to the best mea sures to be adopted in regard to the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad, under the recent calamity of fire which befel it. The Governor in his message to the Council, says : Thrpp flifterent courses of rvatMJ- "M pear to me to be open to us namelv; i mv. i. -a- a e" isi. xouusutui i rum any inienerence, and leave the llaleijrh Railroad to go to destruction. 2d. To convene the Legislature to pro tect it against this casualty. Sd. To exercise for this end, the power and authority of the Governor and Council, under the act ot the General Assembly, ratified the 6th day of January, 1845, en titled an act to authorize the foreclosure of.the mortage on the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad." -He then shows that his preference is for the! proposition to borrow $25,000 for the purpose of putting it in the same state it was before. The Council fully concurred with the Gov ernor, and passed the following resolution: Resolved, That the Council of State do advise and consent to the proposition of the Governor, that a sum of money, not exceeding &25,000, be borrowed on be half of the State, for the purpose of repair ing the loss and damage occastoned'by the recent fire to the Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road; ami that the Governor be advised to convey the said Rail Road, and all the public property attached thereto, in trust t secure the re-payment of the amount of such loan with interest, at such time as he may agree upon with the lenders ' The course adopted is the most practical, and best for the interest of all concerned, we think.

SANTA ANNA AND MR POLK. The Washington Union says : When this war began, the Mexicans were the most bragging, vain, arrogant na tion on the face of the earth. They had only to issue a pronunciamento, and they expected it would he accomplished. Their national vanity, the fruit of their blind ig norance, encouraged as it was by the flat tery of their military usurpers, was so great that they thonght themselves superior to every people who might lamLupon their shores. anta Anna was their favorite champion. They hail great confidence in his prowess, and he had great confidence in himself. In one of the first edicts which he issued on landing, he threatened to "rather his laurels on the banks of the Sa bine. If this chieftain had not put himself at the head of the nation, they never would have been satisfied that they could not have vanquished us with his assistance. They have now tried the experiment, with three or four times as many troops as we have had to meet them in the field with every advantage of entrenchments with their best general at their head, and armed with all his resources and they have been over whelmed. It is fortunate for us, therefore for our own glory, and for our fature security that Santa Anna has been among them. He is now anxious to escape." At a meeting of the Commissioners on the 1th March, IS is, the following gentlemen were ap pointed a Board of Fire Wardens for the present var, viz: H Leete, Esq, Chief Fire Warden; "Elijah Fuller, P. Taylor, John Waddill, John 11. Cook, John Winslow, and R. W. King, Assistant Wardens. The following were appointed a Committee of Vigilance in the several Wards, to-wit: 1.

We learn that he thinks the war is virtually at an end, and not intending to make the mili tary his profession, he has, thinking that there will be no more active service, re turned to the hands of the Executive the commission which he has held during the past vear, with so much honor to himself. If ilmington Journal. L.AND SLIDE Several acres of Mt. Adams,Cincinnati, have commenced sliding overwhelming High street, and chocking up the walls of several houses, which have leen left by the owners, and will doubtless be destroyed THE UNKINDEST SHOT OF ALL. Mr Henley, of Indiana, in a late speech on the war, in the House, said : The pa per wrapper of a Mexican cartridge, a mis sile fired at us at Ruena Vista, and picked up by one of the Indiana regiment, was a part of Webster's 1'hiladelpbia speech. His authority for this was Major Cravin, Captain Davis, and Lieut Shank, ofthe In dian volunteers. The papr is still in possession of those gentlemen." If this be true, (and it appears to be fair and above board in giving the names of the authors) it is one of the severest rebukes to toryism which we have seen, and is truly " a refinement of cru elty," compared with poisoned lances. It is stated that a boat may be freighted for a single trip of more than 10,000 miles on the western waters, viz: From Ottawa. HI., to the Fal.s of St. Anthony, Council ISlutts and Yellow Stone, New Orleans, Pittsburg and Warren, Pa., and back to Ottawa. New Musical Instrument. Messrs Thomas D. Paine & Co., of Woon socket, Rhode Island, have lately invented a musi cal instrument to which they have given the name of Tuba - It is constructed en tirely of brass, and is ofthe horn species. The invention consists principally in valves so made and arranged as to produce tin greatest variety in quantity and quality of tone, with the least enort ot any w ind in strument heretofore in use. size.

THE SUIiTREASURY. Since the Independent Treasury law went into oper ation, says the New "York Kvening Post, there has" not, as we are authentically in formed, been a single instance of the gov ernment being defrauded by a forged draft orfalse or irregular papers, notwithstand ing that this is the paying office for the lar gest portion of the United States. PULMONARY CONSUMPTION. From its having utmost always baffled the mopt rkiliul medical treatment, has very justly been termed the Opprobium of Physi cians;" and. until within a few year., been !jn;rally con sidered incurable, although many medical men of the highest standing, among when, we may mention Laennec and his triend Bayle both distinguished author, admit that thU much dreaded disease may be cured, rvon in its adnnced stapes, when the lungs are not eonnJi"t-ly disorganized- The remedy which is mow offererl, Wintar'i. Batsam of Wild Cherry, for the cure of this disease, not only emanates from a rcgrular physician, but has also been well tested in all the complaints for which it is recom mended. It Is not my intention, therefore, either to cloak it in mystery, or in any way deceire the public by o'er rating its virtues. Consumption may and can bo cured.. this medicine be resorted to in time.
