I ntil recently the ten eastern and middle States pre ponderated over all the other States and territories both in population aud wealth, liul 'westward the? course of empire tascs its way'' ami this condition of things is now reversed. The west and the southwest together now hold the larger share, not ouly of population but of political iwer and actual wealth. A(.ill;Ki.ATK WKAI.TH K THE COfNTKY. Taking the value given to the real and p. isonal estate of the country by the census of 170 aud allowing for the same pi ogress as was made during the war dec-ade, from lStto ls7i, the prop erty ol the people of the L uitcnl States at thia time excluding government projierty amounts to the enormous and inooinpi-ehensible sum of li fly-four tlioiisand millions of dollars. anni ai. riioni i r. j In estimating the amouot of products of the country I have consulted the I carefully prepared statistics of the ari ! cultural ilej.aitment aud when these ! weie wanting, have depended upon oth er equally icliablc sources of informa tion. These estimates are for the year 170. According to these the natural ami art products of the country for 7 were as lollow s: h i4i UI in. I , l. .

THE MOUVI. OK THESE KU.l UEs is that the nation has wealth enough to insuie the par value of tw ice the pres ent am. unit of circulation, aud that such increase is absolutely needed to restore prosperity to the languishing industries of the country. Amongst these resour ces of the I'uited States are the immense silver mines of the Southwest, a portion of wi t; products turned into coin ami made a legal tender for all debts, would pi ice the debtor class on a level w ith the creditor, and without anv injustice to the Utter, allow the former a chance I to lecovcr' Iroin the evils indicted by j the ruinous policy of the last few years. u M.I 1). UK THE W Est AMI SOI Til. i The South aud the West proper, em bracing the territory from the Kastern lxiundarv- of Ohio and Maryland, to the Western coat of California, anil from the fortieth parallel down to the mouth of the HioGrande, comprises about two thuds of the terutoi j of the U nited states and constitute the grandest cm pile of industry in the world. Their rapacity for production is almost limit less and embraces not only every vaiiety oftaim products, with cotton, sugar and 1 ire added, but such sfoies of min eral wealth as have hitherto been un koow n" to the civilized world. Extend ing as they do, over so vast an area, neaily two million square miles, they sutler gi cat aud constant loss on account of inadequate facilities for placing their products in market. The grain prodoriu;; distm-ts west of the Mississippi, sutler more in this ics;-cct than any other portion of tl ceo. int v. The Mississippi river, iu the pi.-s.-nt obstiuetcd condition of its channel, iseutiiely iuadequate to the demands of internal commerce. An earliest movement is now 011 foot to se cuie the linpioveincnt of this great nat ural channel of trade ; but even with this cat river ami its principal tribu tnries made navigable they cannot do a tenth part of the work of transmrta tion needed now or in the near future for the west ami Siuthwest. These dis y ids have already constructed about teu thousand miles of railw ay, but must add largely to this investment before their cplc can reach market without saci dicing their products. HOW TO HEM" THE SOITHWEST. Then there is a region of unbounded wealth, agricultural as well as mineral, occupying the j;reat Southwest, that might as well Ik? in the moon as for any good we derive from it. There it lies, a wilil uupeopled waste, but with im mense riches buried in its mines of gold, silver, pvpl'r anil other metals. There is but oue way to redeem the land from savagery, and people it with Civilized communities and that is to con st nut au open highway free from mon plv and extortiou, from the lower Mississippi to the coast of lower Cali fornia. This can be achieved upon the plan propojjpd in the bill for the Texas and l'acitic Railway now before the Mouse, without taxing the government to the amount of a dollar, at the same time saving the government several millions every year in the cost of trans portation, increasing its revenue by ex tending trade with Mexico aud saving the people of the United States at least ten millions dollars a yearfin exhorbitant charges levied by the present Pacific Companies. Tlie bill referrem to pro- vides abundant Becurity for tlie gorera ment jjuarantee of interest on the" con struction boods of tlie Texas & Pac: V' Company, and retains in CongreM th right to supervise and regulate lbttlt of the road for all time. The ue jjil for this road is so great, aud its tfou struction will yield such general beu tits to the country that every day gives the euterpiise new favor in Con gress. There is little doubt that'a charter will be granted and that the vigorous presecutiou of the work will bring greater prosperity to the West and South than they have known for many years. " ' FREE TRADE AND SAILORS' RIGHTS. ' The general disposition in Congress is to favor and foster those great in terests which are directly identified w ith the material growth aud prosperity 1 of the nation. Amongst otnr iivvnsr there is a settled purpose to win from England a portion of ber pr maritime suprenjafy. jj 31 covered that we can build iron 41 rM. ftoimtj-v about as cheap as in Und. and of enough better quuVty make up the diflereuce. Many and laborers are now etnpioyeu in our ship yards doing this work, aud all that is lacking to make those ships contribute directly to the advantage of ever city, town, and farm in the country, i such encouragement as, will lead to the es tablishment of new ocean lines, the opeuing of trade with new ports and the consequent increase of government I revenues and individual wealth. Tljis graud desideratum will be achieved by such subsidy as has made Great Britain the richest commercial nation in the world. This subsidy consists of paying ocean lines of steamers a moderate comiensation for mail transportation, which is no subsidy at all as the gov erument's increased revenues from new trade sources will more than meet ti e deticiency of postage to pay the con tract, this is the supreme moment to secure success. The products and re sources of our couutry have been well advertised, and from every continent and couutry they beckon to us to come ! aud trade with them. tiive to the West and South easy ac- cess t both oceans, and t'lence to all the markets of the world, and their prosperity will become perpetual as the stars and "abounding as the waves of the sea."

Washikgtox, Dec. 14. Ihe proceedings to-day in the secret executive session of the Senate were more exciting and turfatening than any that have occurred for vears Th J ties to the quarrel were Senators Conk "ng and Gordon, but the whole Senate was wrought up to x hi8h pitch of ex citement. The discussion was on the norronation of Wade to be Collector or Internal Revenue in Georgia. Sena tor 'doil had lllnrl :i ci.u..1, , - j ' v. 1 1 aiudt the couurmation of Wade, and Senator iook. me noor t-. m-niu v.:tli aii?rlt!oit6,ro5fcfe aid that if a discussion of two or three Qours in length was to be had on the po-X-;ical relations of the North and South, ..e two parlies, the President aud every thing else having any bearing on the S'&ject, there was little hope of accom pqahing anything in the last hours be fore the long recess. At this point Sen ator Gordon rosj to sueak attain and there came from the Republican side cries of "'Go on, go ou with the calen dar! Let's have the vote!' The words "'Go on" came from several Senators, among them Hamlin, Mitchell and Conkling. Ihis greatly iucnsed the quick-teir-pered Georgia Senator, aud he cried out in an impatient tou: ''The Senator from New York is issuing his orders, lie is ordering the Chair." Mr. Conk ling, considerably excited, demanded that the Senator from Georgia should repeat his words. Mr. Go.don then re peated that the Senator from Xew York was issuiug his orders. Coukling then, in a fever of excite ment, said, in a loud voi ,e: -'If the Sen ator from Georgia says that I issue orders to the Chair he says what is not true;"" and, with increased anger, he continued, "and lost the Senator may misunderstand me I will repeat that if he says 1 issue orders to the Chair he says what is not true."' Gordon at once sprang to his feet, aud, trembling with rage, said: '"This question, sir, can be settled outside this Chamber." At this poiut Coukling was quite as excited as his antagonist, and taking a step toward Gordon, who was on the op- ! positc side of tbje. Chamber, he replied 1 iu a tierce voicet "I am willing to settle it here and now; and once more I will say to the Senator from Georgia that, if he says I gave orders to the Chair, he says what is not true,"' and the words seemed to blister his mouth. Both Senators thereupon took their seats, and the business proceeded for some time without any reference to the uuhappy difficulty. -pecial dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. "Washington, Dec. 1 L After McLin was so summarily dis- boosed of, th .of Edward C. Wado as ttitieCrTrX Collector for the Third'GeorgiffUithct, yioe Fannin, to be removed, was taken up The nomination wasopposeed by both Senators Gordon aud Hill. During the discussion a passage occurred between Mr. Blaine and the Georgia Senators. They said that Wade was a mischief- maker and very obnoxious to the peo ple of Georgia, and allusion was made to his writing letters to the North al leging outrages in Georgia. Mr. Hill said it was time that the feeliug of antagonism between the North and South should bo brought to au end. Mr. Blaine said the Senator could calm his nerves, but the feeljng between the two sections would not be allayed while the life and property of Republi cans were so insecure at the South. Gen. Gordon said Georgia was a sov ereign State, aud the opinion of its Senators as to officers iu that State ought to have soma weight. Mr. Blaine retorted that the Senator who the other day stood up for the President to make his own appointments was now opposing that right. The Senator now thought also that a Sena tor should have the same voice in the appointments for his State, but day be fore yesterday he was of a very differ ent opinion. After this there was a temporary lull in the proceedings caused by a sugges tion from some Senator to adjourn. Mr. Coukling, and it is said one or two other Senators, called "go on, go with the regular order." General Gordon rose and said that the Senator from New York was arro gating too much to himself in under taking to order the Seuators and the ico-i lesideut to go ou with the busi ness of the Senate. The Senator was not the Senate. Mr. Coukiiug responded that the Senator's statement that he was order ing the Senate was untrue. Geu. Gordon repeated what he had said, and Mr. Coukling followed with his disclaimer in the same terms as be fore. Geu. Gordon then said, "This can be settled elsewhere." Mr. Coukling quickly replied, "So far as I am concerned it can be settled here or elsewhere." Senator Coukling was the more ex cited of the two, thougu both Seuators were quite ruffled. Senators Thurman and Hamlin both attempted to pour oil on the troubled waters, and said that they did not think there need be any cause for mis understanding. Mr. Hamlin said it was very custom ary for Seuators to call for the regular order of busiuess when there was a lull iu the proceedings; that he had fre quently done it himself and with no in tention to offend any oue. Nothing further was said by either Senators Gor don or Coukling, aud the Senate soon after adjourned. Second Presbyterian Church, Raleigh. From the N. C. Tresbj ter au This little church, organized last spring by Orange Presbytery, held its second communion on last Sabbath and had the gratification of welcoming to the Lord's table one new member, who had beeu received since the last cora- muuion. makiugr in all four since its- organization. Surely the Lord has again placed His seal upon this little plant of His right hand's planting. To His glorious name be all the praise. In compliance with the appointment of Presbytery at its laot meeting, the Revs. F. II. Fitzgerald and 0. U. Wiley, visited us for the purpose of installing Rev. Jos. M. Atkinson as pastor of this infant church, and made the occasion one of great interest aud enjoyment. The services commenced ou Friday evening with an excellent sermon by - Rev. Mr. Wiley, which was very appro priate and greatly appreciated. He also preached on Sabbath morning prepara tory to the communion service from the text, "Daughters of Jerusalem, waepnot for me but weep for yourseles," with much power and impressiveness. After ward Rev. Mr. Atkinson officiated at he communion tahlnanri thu lif.rln hand i gladly received at the hands of one who was so soon to become their beloved pastor, the emblems of the broken body auc shod blood of their dear Redeemer. In the afternoon the exeraisAs of th in. staiianoo were commenced with a ser mon from Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald, which was delivered with great power and good eriect to a very large congregation made up f all the evangelical churches ot the city, and would have rilled a much larger room than the Chapel of the Deaf I ' ' , vunuci , aud Duiuh and Blind Asyl urn, where the church at present convenes r itztrerald than nmuuiaA tA , VA 9lll people, CTeallTTl ' "W.
