At tit conclusion .of the , prayer of the Chaplain of the Senate on one occasion in Wash ington oitj, we hear J, or fancied wc heard, hiiauicn echoed in tones apparently devout and sincere. We were seated in the gallery, and the sound came op to us rather indistinctly, but we think wo cannot to mistaken, and sincerely hope, wo were not. It was the first time we ever heard tbat ittle hut imprcsgiwo .word pronounced devotion al!; in a legislative'asHfQjbly. . The fact is, and it is notorious, that legislators have eome to be considered among the reprobate classes of community, because of their neglect of religious duties. Their ignorance of the law of God is so great, that they often, in attempting to quote passages from the icriptareti, expose themselves tb the ridicule of their. aoJitoia. The early legislators of 'our country and our fathers' fathers were eminent, many of them, for their knowledge of the Scriptures, and to this knowledge, we duult not, they were mainly in debted for the eminence to which they attained in the counsel of the-nation, and for their pecu liar Gtnuss for die performance of the important services which they rendered in those dark and troublous times, when the enemies of their coun try tbreutuncd them on one hand, and traitors nd domestic foe stopd -rcaJy to betray them to eath on the other. Pre-eminently conspicuous among these great statesmen, stands the name of Ucnjamin frank lin, the printer. ' Almost every American has felt that there was an intellectual superiority pos. sctscd by Ir. Franklin, whicn closed him to shine as a luminary of the first magnitude amongst the worthies of the Revolution. Few, if any, of the political men of that day approached him in the accuracy and extent of his Scriptural knowledge, and this is one chief reason why Frank lin towered "a head and shoulders" above his fellows in perhaps every assembly of which he was a member. An anecdote or two will illustrate this: When quite a youth Franklin went to London, entered a printing office, and inquired if lie could get employment as a printer 1 . "Where are you from?" inquired the fore- man. .- ; ' "America," was the reply " Ah," said the foreman, "iroia AmcricaJ-B. lad from Amerioa soekUig- employment as a prin ter 1 Well, do you really .understand the art of printing? Can you set type ?" : Franklin stepped to one of the cases, and in a very brief space, act up the following passage from the first chapter of the Gospel by St. Joho : . "" Nathaniel saith unto him, can any good thing come out of Nazareth T Phillip sakh unto him, come and see." ' - It was done so quick, so accurately, and con taineda delicate reproof, so appropriate and pow erful, that it' at once gave him standing and character with all in the office. Many anecdotes might be given; wo shall con tent ourselves with one more I 77 When, after the Declaration of Independence, Franklin was .Minister from the United States to France, he was invited to dine with a French no bleman in company with the British Ambassador. After dinner they wero taking a glass of wine, and it was proposed that each should give a sen timent or toast. The Englishman led the way, and gave : "George the' Third liko the sun in. his me ridian glory, he Ts the admiration of tho world !" The .Frenchman followed next, and gave " The Queen of France : Like the moon in her bright path through tha heavens, she enlightens and influcnecs the earth." ' . :Butli ..now lurbcjltQ ITmukliii, jonfidcnUhat hn was thrown far Jntq ; the background ; bht Frank lin with great composure took up his glass, and gave x "George Washington': Like Joshua of old, he commands the sun nhhe moon to stand still, and they obey him." ' px pressing the hope that members of the present and future Congresses will occasionally revert to the scene presented to the eye in 8ep- j'tembcr, 1774, in Carpenter' Hall, Philadelphia, on the occasion, of the first prayer in Congress, and hoping that the contemplation of that scene will produce a Miutaryfifipreslon upon-their minds and we believe it cannot fail to do so we close this article, as we begun it, with that little, but impretsivswdrd-" Amen." -J 1 , : i ' For th Argus. Each a-do About Ifothlng.-Lltcrary Club, tf, "Well, well-tho world' must turn upon it axis, And all manklud turn with it, heads or tails, And live and di, make love, and pay our taxes, And as tb veering wind shift, shift our sails.". Bybob's Dob Jda.. When I saw you last, Messrs. . Editors, doubtad not tbat I would have Leen to-night in Uothsm, examining "dead mens bones,' or listening " with rapt attontion" to sonio learned M. D., while be pointed out tbo tircem'tj of a man s having a stomaehe, or beautifully illus trated the we of lungs 1 but v- ' ' - "Tber Is a destiny thst sbsprs our ends, . Kongh-bew tbem bow wt may!' . "W ar tb victim f it Iron rule, -. Th warm and besting heart it tool; And man, immortal, (Jod-like, but ittool! . Instead of boing now (0 o'clock p. m ) loung ing upon softly cushioned mahogany, within .the brilliantly gas-illumined lectnre-room of a Medi cal (Jollcgein tne oityof tho Knickerbockers, I am right hero an inmate of that double log- eabine at the " Springs," familiarly known as " Uachelor's rctrA5aA.'r-eosily juiscooccd in tho big rooking chair, by my little walnut book-talle, (where jn sits a lighted tallow eandle) with a cold pen in my band, writing a letter to that Argus nineM -.iirht of whose eyes are ever " wide awake" and keeping watch o'er the "people'i right," and withal enjoying myself as well as one of the "Sricketf ought. I bad Dromised mvself the nleasure of seeins " lots o' sights" at the North : not least among which would have been Bonner Bonner, tie Great Bonner, the immortal Ledger man; or rather the Le(d)ger Je-muin-man! And wouldn't I have given your readers " pictures" of Bar- quid, Seward, Horace Greeley, Kmmcrson Ben nett, et ul vmne grnutt Tbat I would! But deetioy, or circumstances, or tomethintf, turned up, or rather did not turn np, so that I didn't go. By-the-way, those " circumstances" arc often very medleeome bodies. Says Bvron, "Men ar tb spurt of circumstance, when Th circumstances seeni the, pirt of men." But let your readers be patient I'm going on (to the North) after a spell, when I'll uml th?m vfry one a nice prtMtnt. Certainly 1 will! Just here I would suggest an idea, which, if it meets with a favorable reception, well; if not, well. I would propose to such of your rcuders aa may feel inclined to write, that we form a sort of a literary "club," whose duty it shall be to contribute something weekly to your excellent paper. Tbo nights are getting long enough to afford us ample time to read or write at pleasure.. While all without is drcsr and colJ, let us try, at least, to- keep the heart warm by a free inter change of sentiment. Anson can hoist of a number o( good writers, of loth sexes, who might thus improve tho talent given them by bring ing it into occasional exercise. There is my whilom fair friend " Mrs. F. C." whose ablo Pen has been idle for lo, these many days; and but I will not call names, for were I to do so I would not know where to leave off. Come, my good friends, let us hear from you. I can't promise anything myself, more than to helpfut the ball in motion; after which I would fain be but a "looker on in the camps of Israel." Now I know that there are somo old fogies, and souio would be thoupht to be smart Young Americas who will turn up their noses at the idea of being entertained by home writers.' Such per sons ean never endufe anything coming "out of Nazareth." But they need not be so fastidious, Lfor aa good men as they commenced rending in a five cent primmer.

In some of these springs there is a kind of sediment, about tho consistency of com mon mush, which simmers and 'gurgles,' and at times entirely closes the aperture, which is inva riably succeeded by a deafening explosion, in tho escape of the confined steam. - Every thing smells, strongly of sulphur, which may be gathered, in some instances, in large pieces, but is mostly found adhering to the rocks in the shape of a pal- i pslile powder tne enect of erystalisatioo, lucre is also another mineral produced in the fa mo manner, resembling quinine in color and forma rinn.'liiit til tTiB iHHfA nice shun, nnil thern is ho doubt that it walunHiie-.- -Ob onesideof the-satd flat there is a kind of chalk; white as snow, and resembling plastet of pans after having been pre pared for casting.

About one mile from this flat, at an elevation of about three hundred feet above it, there is a round lake, ia diameter about fifty yards, which is in a con. tinual state of agitation, resembling the boiling of a caldron ; the earth around it is almost a blood red.
