After a hard fight on Saturday eve ning the bill was passed just as it had passed the Senate by a vote of 114 to 103. Your del egation, was exactly divided, Branch, Craige, Ruffm and Winslow for it, Gilmer, Shaw, Scales and Vance against it ; From Virginia two opposed, From Georgia three, and Ala bama four. The amiable and popular deport ment of the delegate, Gen. Joseph Lane, and the ability and eloquence of Mr Stephens, of Georgia, contributed to " this consummation so devoutly to be wished for"' Gen. Lane is a native of your State, and loves her with a filial devotion, and he is a worthy on of a worthy mother. Mr Stephens' closing speech was con sidered the speech of the session, and "brought down the house " in thunders of applause. Genera! Lane and his colleague Judge Smith, will take their .seats in the Senate as soon as the bill is approved by the President which is no doabt already done.

NORTH STATE. Are they Opposed to Economy? The Opposition have exumed a letter of Mr Buchanan, written in 1852. in which he urges upon the Democratic party the faithful main tainance of that cordial principle of their or ganization, a rigid economy in public expendi ture?, and are parading it before the country at this time. For what purpose ? Certainly there is nothing in the letter which should be objectionable, especially to those who have, at all times, claim-d to be the especial friends of economy in public expenditures. Mr Buchan an lays it down as a rule of action, that Gov ernmeutal expenditures ought to be conducted j under the guidance of enlightened economy aud strict responsibility, thus escaping, on the one hand, that unwarranted parsimony which would I deny just and proper expenditures for constitu tional and necessary objects, and, on the other, that wild and reckless spirit which does not scruple to draw money from the National Treasury to enrich contractors and agents. No se - isiuie iu.ui win comeuu iiuil me expenses oi , i . i 1 1 . .. . 1 ib .. 1 il, r I me vjovci miicnt suouiu iiol e.xpauu, wiiu me growth, developenient and population of the country. Thirt'-oue States cannot be governed for the same amount as Thirteen. The expen ses of the Navy will be augmented, those of the Army increased, the Post Office Department will requre larger appropriations to meet the increasing demands for mail services, the Fed eral Judiciary will be more expensive, and thus the yearly expenditures will be enlarged. But while these things are facts, still the principle enunciated by Mr Buchanan, in his 1852 letter, is strictly applicable. All expenditures ought to be conducted under the guidance of enlight ened economy and strict responsibility ; and if the Opposition is not willing that this should, be the basis of Governmental action, let them take open ground against the same. If not, why publish Mr Buchanan's letter in the con nection they do : But more than this, Mr Buchanan in his last annual Message to Congress, puts iu an official form the very principles which he enun ciated iu his letter of 1852. Iu his Message he savs - " F ven i the ordinary expenses of the Government ought I brought to the highest degree of perfection ; to admonish us all, in our respective spheres of ! improvements in steam locomotion aud naviga duty, to the practice of rigid economy. The I tlou havc apparently reached the ne phis ultra objects of expenditure should be limited in of progress ; maritime knowledge in tides, and nmnlipr n far ... th; n:,i7 b, in-nr-f i.-n bin n.wl dangers to navigation, has attained to marvel- the appropriations necessary to carry them in to eltect, ought to be disbursed under -the strictest accountability The heads of the different executive departments of the Government have been instructed to reduce their estimates for the next fiscal year -to the lowest standard consistent with the- vSiency of the service, ninl I bis tiuty tboy hnvo per formed in a spirit of just economy. I invite Congress to institute a rigid scrutiny to ascertain whether the eviienses in all the Departments, cannot be still further reduced ; and I promise them all the aid in my power in pursuing the investigation." It is clearly shown by these extracts from the message of Mr Buchanan, that his letter ot 18o2 was not i : written for present party purposes, but that it contained the well matured convictions of his mind, the principles on which all his subse quent actions would be based, aud hence we find him recommending to Congress what he had before stated to the public. If Congress will not act in accordance with these recom mendations, the fault is not with the President. The Opposition preach economy when they are in the minority, but when power places the purse strings in their hands, they forget their precepts and show by example what ideas they eutertaiu of economy in public expenditures. The session of Congress of 1857, will long re main a just and emphatic commentary upon the honesty and truthfulness of opposition promises of economy. That body waded neck deep into all the schemes which corrupt, cunning men could devise for extracting money from the treasury, and yet with this record the opposi tion journals affect to sneer at the letter of 31 r Unchanan, in which he proclaims aud advo cates economy iu all expenditures of public money. With these facts in view, we again ask what do the Opposition mean by the re-publication of the liuchanan letter of 1S52 ? Are they opposed to economy in the expenditures of the funds of the .Government? Unless they are, the production of the letter at this time is meaningless, for that is the point contained in it, and it means nothing more nor less. Upon that foundation Mr Buchanan has rested his administration, and the people will sustain it against all attacks coming from a part which thus puts itself upon the record in opposition to economy in the expenditure of public money.

In view of the data before us we think it is conclusively established that Gen. Jackson was born in Mecklenburg county, "at the house of George McCaiuie," and near to the South Carolina line.

Postage ox Exchanges - -Mr. English has introduced into the House of Representatives a bill to amend the postage law in relation to the circulation of newspapers and periodicals. It proposes to require the payment of postage on 1 1 i I A. t (' -t I iui Liiu b ciass ot man matter Known as cx- changes, which, by the provisions of this bill publishers recei Vlll"- the publishers receiving them will be required to pay, at the same rate as regular subscribers. This is an important natter, and threatens a serious change in the time-sanctioned custom of free exchanges. The bill was referred to the committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, by a vote of 08 to 50. This is a very proper reference since it is emphatically a mat ter iu which the whole Union is particularly interested. A tax of postage upon periodical exchange would seriously affect the newspaper interest throughout the country. Petersburg Express. Better Times. The Washington Union, at the close of a long article on the financial con "dition of the country, takes an encouraging view of the future. We quote as follows : What is now the condition of affairs ? The great railroad systen.s of America and Europe, widen have been the object of such immense outlays of money iu their construction, have atj length ceased to be the objects cf expenditure, and become the agencies of production. Ma chinery and skill in manufactures have been ious thoroughness and proficiency ; and with ail these facilities for material and financial progress, we have supplies of rold setting in upon us lrom Australia and Cahtoruia, in s r ams more profuse and prodigal than man kind ever heretofore imagined in their wildest dreams. In viow of all cams tanees, we repeat, it is fair tnat the next ten years win probaoty but he most prosperous which the world ever knew, Mr. Gait, the American sculptor, is at Flo rence and will soon commence his statue of Thomas Jefferson. Iu consequence of the unu sual amount of snow on the mountains this winter, he may have some difficulty in obtain ing a suitable block of marble at present. By the contract the work must be finished by January 1, 1SG1. ZY Y.Posl. Imtortixo Fi.on; from Livf.fp ooi.. The De troit Tribune says that '"John Young, Esq.., of Montreal, hus purchased at Liverpool 10,000 bbls. superior flour at fifteen shillings per bbh, to be shipped to Quebec at Is 3d freight, so that it will be put down at Quebec at a cost of only about $1,90 per bbl., exclusive of insu rance The above shipment is thought to be Os.vego flour, which will thus have made two voyages across the Atlantic. Dealers could, at present prices, import flour from Liverpool to New York at a fair profit and even to De troit." The G he atx ess of the United States The Russian organ published at Brussels, in speak ing of the President's desire for the acquisition of Cuba, ascribes to the United States a posi tion of some importance, as follows : The war which might result from it would be far more disastrous than the Crimean war, which has cost so much gold and blood to the world. It would be war with a nation, whose products are the first element of industry iu all parts of tiie world, and whose commercial in tercourse makes an important branch of income for most governments. It would be a violent rupture of all the arteries of commercial circula tion : it would be a fatal separation between Europe, which needs America, and America which can dispense with Europe. Take from England the gold of California and the cotton of Louisiana, and her industry will at once be stopped in its prosperous action. We sincere ly hope that such a terrible occurrence will not take place. The Empire of Brazil. Brazil now occu pies a very respectable position in the list of powerful nations. Her government is stable and permanent. There is considerable popular liberty, aud the masses of her people are pro gressing rapidly in civilization. Her military and navai resources are large. She has a fleet of sixty-two vesse!s-of v. ar, of which thirty art line steamers. Her navy is more efficient and larger than ours. She has a standing army ol twenty-five t lousand men, and her national guard numbers four hundred thousand. President correspondent Bl'CIIAXAN". of the U. -The Washington S.

The Residence of Gen. Cass The Wash ington correspondent of a New York paper tints describes the internal splendor of the mansion of the distinguished head of the State Department in that city : " The illustrious Secretary lives in a brown stone house, not far from the White house, which is about sixty feet front and about seven ty feet in depth. Gen. Cass is reported to be worth live millions dollars. His home is beau tiful I y furnished, the settees and chairs being covered with blue and white damask silk. The marble medallions, statuary, paintings and other features of art which decorate the walls and various niches in his house, are said to be valued at four hundred thousand dollars. After these gems of art the following : Mar ble Medallions of St. Peter and St Paul, which belonged to the Church of St Peter, iu Mouto rio, which was built by Constantine over the spot where St. Peter was crucified. They were bought by Maj. Cass while on a visit to Gene ral Oudinot, the French commander. Original medallions of white marble, in superb frames, highly enamelled, of Innocent XI. and Leo X., obtained by Gen, Cass from the Monastery of Cauialdolis. Twelve medallions in superb frames representing the Savior, Virgin, and some of the Apostles. They belonged to the Church of St. Paul, which was the first Christian church built in Rome. They are masterpieces. "A crucifix which belonged to Cardinal Antonelli, the papal Secretary of State very rich. Paintings ' St. Agnes with her Lamb,' an original, by Guido Romano : 'St. AppoIIo- ,' nia,' who suffered martyrdom by th extraction of her teeth obtained from the allery of Cardinal Oriole : "The Holy Family,' an origi- rial, by Vannucir : ' Return of Columbus from his first Voyage ;' The Annunciation 'The Madonna,' an original, by Carlo Dolce, bought by Gen. Cass at Boogna, from the Sempieri Palace ; 'St. Rosa, 'original, by Carlo Marat ti ; besides over two hundred others of like val ue and historic interest, which were scanned by the many visitors who called upon him to wish 'A happy New Xear.'" Small Notes. Tno-ar-sox's Bank Note Re porter holds the following sensible language about small notes : Bank Notes small bank notes the Is, 2s, 3s, 5s, and 10s, are the phoenix of prosperity, the opinion of a few old forgies to the contrary notwithstanding. A metallic currency makes the people mean and miserly, saving and selfish. On the contra ry, a paper currency makes the people generous and free to spend. It is in the human heart to hang on toxoid and silver, and it is also in the human heart to buy and trade as long as there is paper dollars left. Banks will loan their paper money, but they will never discount for a specie customer. Suppress small notes, then, and vim suppress all loaning to mechanics and employers, for they must have money of small denominations cither specie or paper. They cannot borrow specie. Shall they be barred from borrowing bank notes ? The amount of bank note circulation in this 1 State, under tvvcutv dollars, is twenty million dollars. Suppress this, and you lessen the money of the State so much, for it is preposte tows to say that specie will take its place. Do away with small notes, then the banks must keep more specie. Can the banks have the gold, and the people hive it too ? F A Y E T T E V I L L E M A Pi K E T, February 19, 1S5J Cor reeled wcr.J ' for the. iVorli Cafo!iitiaHt. Bv Geo. Sloan.

Bkimfifld, Mass., 20th Dec, 1855. Dr. J. C. Aver : I do uot hesitate to say the best remedy I have ever fv.u.ul for Coughs, Hoarseness, Influenza, ami the concomitant symptoms of a Cold, is your Ciierrt Pectoral. Its constant use in my practice and my family for the last ton years bag shown it to possess i superior virtues tor the treatment of these complaints. H1IEN KXIGIIT, M. D. A. B. MORTLEY, Esq., of Utica, N. Y., writes: "I have used your Pectoral myself and in my family ever since you invented it. and believe it the best medicine for its purpose ever put out. With a bad told I should sooner pay twenty-five dollars lor a bottle than do without it, or take any other remedy." Croup, Whooping Cough, Iufluenzn. SPRINOFiELr., Miss., Feb. 7, 1S56. Brother Ater : I will clieerfully certify your Pectoral i.-j the best remedy we possess for the euro of Wlnxtpinff Oturh, Crnup, and the chest diseases of children. We of your fraternity in the South appreciate your skill, and commend your medicine to our people. HIRAM CON KLIN, M. D. AMOS LEE, ESQ., Moxterev, Ia.. writes, 3d Jan., 1856: I bad a tedious Inflnensa which confine.! me in doors six weeks; took many medicines without relief; finally tried your Pectoral by tho advice of our clergyman. The first dose relieved the soreness in my throat and lungs; less than one half the bottle made me completely well. Your medicines are the che;jH.-i.t as well as the best we can buy, and we esteem you, Doctor, aud your remedies, as the poor man's friend.'' Asthma or Phthisic, and Dronchitis. West Manchester, Pa., Feb. 4, 1850. Stu : Your Cherry Pectoral is performing marvellous cures in this section. It has relieved several from alarming symptoms of consumption, and Is now curing a man who has labored under an affection of the lungs for the last forty years. HKNKY It. PARKS, Merchant A. A. RAMSEY, M. D., Almon, Moxroe Co., Iowa, writes, Sept. 6, 1S55: "During my prncticeof many years I have found nothing equal to your Oheurt Pectoral fur giving ease and re lief to consumptive patients, or curing such as are curable." We might add volumes of evidence, but the most convincing proof of the virtues of this remedy is fouud :u its efiects upon trial. Consumption. 4 Probably no one remedy has ever been known which cured so many aud such dangerous cases as this. Some no human aid can reach ; but even to those the Cuerev Pectoral affords re lief and comfort. Astor IIocsi, Xew York Citt, March 5, 1858. Doctor Aver, Lowell: I fuel it a duty and a pleasure to in form ynu what your Cherry Pectoral has done for my wife. She had been five months hitwiring under the dangerous symp toms of Consumption, from which no aid we could procure gave her much relief. Slio was steadily Citing, until Dr. Strong, of this city, where we have come for advice, recommended a trial of your medicine. We bless his kinduess, as we do your skill, for she has recovered from that day. She is not yet as strong ae ehe used to be, but is free from her congh, and can's herself well. Yours, with gratitude and regard. OKLANDO SHELBY, of Shelutville. Osnsumptivts, do not despair till you have tried Ater's Ciieret Pectoral. It is made by one of the liest medical chemists in the world, aad its cures all round us bespeak the high merits of its virtues. lfiihuMphia Lulfjer. Ayer's Cathartic Pills. THE sciences of Chemistry and Medicine have been taxed their utmost to produce this best, most erfect purgative which is known toman. Innumerable proofs are shou u t hat these Pills have virtues which surpass in excellence the ordina ry medicines, and that they win unprecedentedly u-"i. the esteem of all men. They are safe and pleasant to take, but ix.werful to cure. Their penetrating properties stimulate the vital activities of the body, remove the obstructions of its organs, purify tho blood, and expel disease. They purge out the t'..ul humors which breed and grow distemper, stimulate sluggish or disordered or gans into their natural action, ami impart liealtl.y tune w ith strength to the whole system. Not 01.13- do they cure the every day complaints of every body. but. aleo f .riniduhle arid di.rr.rer ous diseases that have battled the lest of human skill. Vhilo they produce powerful effects, they are, at the same time, in di minished doses, the safest and Wst physio that can be employed for children. Being sugar-coated, they are pleasant to take ; and being purely vegetable, are free from any risk of harm. Cures have beeu uiadc- which surpiiss belief were they not sub stantiated by men of such exalted position and character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth. Many eminent clergymen and physicians have lent their names to certify to the public the re liability of my remedies, white others have sent me the assur ance of their conviction that my Preparations contribute im n.enrely to tho relief of my afflicted, suffering fellow-men. The Agent below named is pleased to furnish gratis my Amer ican Almanac, contaiui.ig directions for their use, aud certifi cates of their cures of the following complaints: Costiveness, Bilious Complaints. Khcumatis.ni, trcr,iy. Heart barn. Headache arising from a foul fUmaeh, 'uun. Indiges tion, Morbid Inaction of the Howe), an I Pain arising liier.-fiofa, Flatulency, Loss of Appetite, all Ulcerous and Cutaneous Iis eases which require evacuant Medicine, Scrofula or Kind's Evil. They also, by purifying the blood and stimulating the sys tem, cure many complaints which it would not be supposed they could reach, sieh as Deafness, PartbU Blindness, Neuralgia and NerTor.s Irritability, Derangements of the Liver and Kidneys. Guut. and other kindred complaints arising from a low state of the body or obstruction of its functions. Do not be put off by unprincipled dealers with some ether piil they make more profit on. Ask for Avuu's I'nxs. aud u:ke noth ing else. No other they can give yon compares with this in its intrinsic value or curative powers. The sick watt the best aid t.ere is for them, aiid they should have it. Prepared by Ir. J. C. AVER, Practical and Analytical Chemist, Lowell Mass. Peicb, 85 Cts. pek Box. Vivs Dozes for $1.
