Fow ler before mentioned,) came at once to the res cue. He was astonished to hear such senti ments uttered at the Paas Festival of St. Nich olas, where the cracking of eggs and the smok ing of pipes indicated, the first, the pairing off of the human family, and the last, their social enjojments. Old bachelors had a lonely, drea ry, solitary time of if, unblest by the associa tions of the past, and aneonsoled by the antici pations of the future.

Tors, April 25. In a national point of view we hare bat few social festivals partaking of a public character, and linking the associations of the present with the memories of the past. This defect, however, is in some measure remedied in our large cities, by the reunions established by the different clashes of population inhabiting them, each of which has its particular society, and a conventional day on which they assemble to In the latter particulars, the St. lival las Society, more especially at its Paas Festi val, has long been celebrated for its mirth, and wit. and inn. Representatives of nearly all the Knickerbocker families in the city belong to this association. I need only mention -th Astors, Verplancks, Van Burens, lloffmans. Ogdens, De Peysters, and many others of that j ilk. They hold their annual session in the ! winter, and on Monday evening suceeding j Easter Sunday, they meet at what is called the Paas Supper, not so formal as a dinner, but a j free and easy aflWr., Pan is the same as Paque, ' ( French.) the Passover of the Jews, and Pas sion week of the christians. Even the yellow daffodils which, at this season of the year, spring out of the ground here, are called Paas flowers, (pronounced paus.) Frederick De Peyster is President of the St. Nicholas Society. When doing the honors, he is usually arrayed in an tique costume ; dons a tri-colored chapeau ; j has his merchaum on one side of him, and a reply to Shelley, he would quote the higher au thority oi Moore, "The gar)and I vend thee 'wit nailed by that pit. M here oar meeting Uio' earl; waid'alWHys too late. M""hre lingering full oft through a miramer nielli's moon For the want of time and space, I must, per force, omit the witty sparrings concerning the belligerent powers in Europe, and all that was said, concerning the Russians and Turks. It was admitted, that the acquisition of territory, was the main spring of the war, and it was pro posed to dispatch a committee from the St. Nicholas Society, to visit Asia Minor, and call on the Bishop, and then stop on the way back and examine the disputed territories, to see if they were worth annexing to the Universal Yan kee Nation. This might perhaps put a speedy termination to the war. We now began to glide into the small hours, but still, "Thmight droTe on wi' sonic? nl flatter, Ami aye the ale was growing bettor," valiant rooster on the other. Besides these, aTld the jolly Knickerbockers, like Tam O'Shan- he snorts a time honored yellow sash with a l:irge pewter medal swinging from it at his breast. Thus equipped, the presiding officer is a very distinguished personage, and full of dignity. At the Paas sapper, according to Dutch style, antipodal to the French, all the dishes are brought on the table at once, dessert, fruits and all, including pipes, and massive bowls filled with dyed and painted eggs, for the mem bers to entertain themselves with the classic sport of cracking eggs, ters, continued to enjoy themselves. We must take leave of theiu, to turn attention to graver matters. There was nothing paid or done in the late OTO WASHDJGTOS CORRESPONDED CI- Washivoto-J, April 25, 1854. , The House wa densely crowded to day to hear Col. Benton upon the5 Nebraska subject. Mr. Phillips, of Alabama, brought it up again yesterday by a speech in it, favor, and was-followed by 3Ir. Harris, ;if Mississippi,! who great ly amused the Ilouae by hi; wit t assaults upon the bill. Before concluding1, ill "health obliged him to stop, and he was expected t continue his remarks to-day. It was known, ton. that Mr. Benton would open his battjery upon it, which brought crowds fo the galleries. . For some reason or other, '.Mr. Harris did not continue his remarks, and Mr. Benton took the floor. He assailed the administration and the bill alike, ami took care not-to forget its author. His speech was in print before.it was delivered, and will of course be scatte'ren upon the four winds, or by Adams &Co's."F.x press, the chan nel he has chosen through which tn communi cate with his constituents at St. Lonis. At the .'expiration of Mr. B.'s hour, Mr. Wentworfh obtained the 'floor, and proposed 'to give it to Mr. B., but this was objected to, and the objection, after long altercation, sustained. The Committee then took up another bill, to which Mr. Weatworth moved an amendment, and yielded the floor to Col. B., who concluded his speech. ; It is understood that the President will veto the Insane Poor bill,' and the veto was expected to-day. The .Cabinet, it is rumored, is divided on this measure, n,part being in favor of vetoing and a part opposed. Take which horn of the dilemma he may, there is death in the pot for him and his party; for it is, a question upon which the party are divided,' and in which each section feels adeep interest.' The people will scarcely be willing to be told that millions upon millions of acres of the public lands may be given to Railroad companies, whereby favored individuals are made immensely rich, as in the case of the Illinois Central Railroad, the Mo bile and Cairo Railroad, and many others, and yet it is unlawful to give an acre to the States Southern Convention at Charleston, that can be 1 for tie benefit of the insane poor within their ' of any practical avail in helping on the t;reat : Pacific Kail Road. All the work in getting it , up and on is and will be done here. I men j tioned in a previous letter, that the chain of rail ! road connection from the Eastern States al . ready extends Westward, and Southward, as far as Tcias. The nUn in. to nnsh in rhrnuirh Dr. Nermilye, a distinguished divine, (Dutch l Thmh. and then Into Sonora Th riprmn Presbyterian.) of this city, offered up prayer, f th Gadsden Treaty wilt favor the latter, and upon the dishes, the New York company were nrayine for it. and after which all hands fell to- demolishing the gelatines, cold slauzhs and dampf neudles, in double, quick time. The cracking of eggs soon began. There were a few goose e g gv inteadel for some of the old ganders of the Society, who had long ince graduated in the subordinate egg-branches. , Dr. Beales (English mediens) andJEx Presidcnt 1 of St. George's Society, was the first person called out. He was an invited guest, and rose 1 to the complimentary toast of "St. George, and iht Dragon," A member rose p to reply to Mm. He responded, he said, to that noble sen- : timent, taking for granted that by the "Dra- i t"n," was meant to drag on the liberties of lOurope. Mr." Mount, a limb of the law, was next invocated. He sprang up, saying at the s ime time, "I mutinf, I fig." Mr. Mount re- gretted that the rooster, which is usually j placed at the President's right hand, was not to ; b seen there this evening. He was determined, I however, to crow a little, as the present eom- 1 motions in Europe might open the way for the j spread of free principles. Dr. Wood succeed- ; ed, and, as the rooster had been forgotten, he suggested that some aphrodisiach should be a iministered to the individual members present. ; Mr. Ronieyn, a talented young lawyer, was next called upon, and made a capital speech on the subject of legitimacy. He could not re- j cognize the legitimate right of any member to fcring a stone alley egg to that meeting, and win all his eggs from other members. This ' announcement created some alarm among the j large egg holders, and the man with the stone ' alley egg had a black mark upon him. He bad won uhout a peck of eggs, including seve ral goose eggs from the old ganders before urentioned. By this time, the pipes had begun t. Im put in aetive use, and clouds of tobacco inoke filled the room like a Dutch Estaminet. The members were almost lost in the'mists, and were dimly discernible as they an:s to speak. The gentlemanly form of the honora oi. Secretary was een to rise in the loaming. Un rose, sail Mr. Swords, not to perpetrate a speech, but simply to relate an anecdote of their w. rthy and venerable saint, St. Nicholas. St. Nicholas, he remarked, was tlationed in Asia l inor as bishop of that eastern diocese. Hepos wsged to an astonishing degree themir icle work ing power, and was especially devoted to chil dren, whom he loved very tenderly and rewarded perhaps doing more. The legislature of Texas grants lf sections of land to every mile of rail road completed through that State, but any company, to obtain a charter for a through road, must first deposit $300,000 in the Texas State Treasury, and complete 40 miles of rail road, within 18 months. Heretofore, numerous char ters have been granted for rail roads in Texas, but none of the roads have been undertaken. Col. Ward's charter is tor a through road. This and all the others the New York com pony have bought out, and including all these, with their rights and privileges, they will be entitled u 5'2 sections of land for every mile of rail road completed, or nearly 40.000,000, (forty -II" v f - I (1. till t 1 minions) acrfs tor toe entire tate. me Illi nois central had only 6 sections to the mile, which built the road and paid for its stock. Well might Mr. Albert Pike, in the Charleston Convention, without knowing all these details, compare this Pacific rail rad company, to the 1 British East India Company in respect to ; wealth and power. But all this is undetermin . ed as yet. Nothing will be dyne in Texas, by : its Governor, Pease, until 1st May, in letting : out the great contract. The legislature has ad jonrned, but the power to do this is confided ; to the Governor. One of the ablest financiers connected with the Pacific rail road company, and a member. too, of its executive committee, is Dr. Fowlkes, of Tennessee. He is a Virginian by birth and j is well known in the Northern eountiea of North i Carolina. It wag he who raised the $300,000 i on the company. ! In a former letter. I mentioned the exploit of a Broadway horse, in jumping over the head of a lady. Yesterday a horse ran away in Broad way, and. I suppose, getiing tired of it. or wishing to take a ride, he attempted to jump into a covered waggon passing by. It being his first attempt at the business, h did not quite succeed. This horse concluded, no doubt, til at as he had often helped others to a ride, he waa entitled to at least one for himself. M. borders, or for any-other beneficent purpose, to which the States may wish to appropriate it. Besides, large quantities of the public lands have heretofore been given to various States for the same, and for similar purposes, without its being dreamed at the time that it was uncon stitutional to do so. Lands have been given to the new States also to enable them to erect their public buildings ; also for the erection and sup port of colleges, &c, &e. The truth is, that it is very constitutional, right and proper, to give any amount of the public lands to the new States ; but it is not constitutional, nor right, nor proper, to give any, the smallest, portion to the old States, whose blood and treasure won them. ; The Mexican treaty is yej undisposed of in the Senate. A project may' be agreed upon, not at all like the Gadsden, and sent to Santa Anna for concurrence, and may be kept going back and forth between hiqi and the treaty making power here far six months yet. The cast iron bridge in the course of erection at the Little Falls of the Potomac fell yester day, killing two men. The loss is a serious one. The next foreign news, it is expected, will be highly interesting. We may then have some more definite accounts in regard to the late movements and engagements on the Danube. OBSERVER. P. S. Since the above was written, I learn that the Gadsden treaty has been ratified by the Senate. It gives Mexico $10,000,000, and re cognises the Sloo grant. FOR THE REOISTSR. GEN. DOCKERY IN GREENE! Hooxertov, April 24rh, ; Air. Editor: -General Dockery, the Whig Candidate for Uovernor, addressed s. portion uf , the citizens of Greene, on Friday last,' at Snow' Hill. His appointment was not known by many, ; until his arrival. Be mentioned and discussed the principal issnes between the two parties, in a frank, open hearted manner, which must have . carried conviction to the hearts of the most rig-, id opnosers. He spoke of the resolutions of the late Whin Convention as embodvine his own t candid convictions; and therefore hecould not fail M to carry.them out, as much as in his power lay, I -A-L without proving recreant to his own feelings. He said that the Whig Banner had been placed , in his hands in its purity, and he would band it j down untarnished. . A passing notice, by the General, was then taken of Pierce'e Cabinet, with its freesoil and j abolition affinities, much to the discomfiture of the Democracy. It is true that Greene county was not repre sented in the Convention, owing to high waters preventing the Whigs from attending the meet- i ing which they appointed to select delegates, but I am safe in sayingi that General Dockery will receive a very large vote in the county. He is the man for the people.

Secretary Da vis urges the reason that the proposed bisi ding masks the guns of the Fort. The propositions before Congress, for the re duction, remission, or suspension, for a limited period of.vears, of the duty upon railroad iron, are eliciting much discussion from the impor tant interests that will do affected by the adop tion of either of these propositions. GROUND BROKEN! Thft ground was formally broken on the Wes tern Railroad, yesterday evening. Capt James A. J. Bradford, in the presence of a considera ble concourse of our delighted citizens, turned I wbuns or corrected by blows. He loved all good ( the fir8t pade-full ; and others, anxious to lend eh 'lnren. Un a certain occasion, two young lads of noVe birth viired Asia Minor to pay their rp-nei tff to the venerable father, and reaching hi abode JU a late hour, ihey sough; out a hotel where th-y concluded to remain over night. The young gntlempn, it appeared, had a large mpply of goU' with them, and the cupidity of he landlord l9-ouiing excited, he entered their apartment at tlit" dead of night, and murdered them, after whicu he cut up their bodies in mull pieces, and pvicked them with salt in a pork 'tub. St. Nicholas, by his clairvoyant fa- i ulty, had perceived . this whole tragedy, and a nana to the gooa work, loilowea, I he crowd were then invited by the President, Major Mc-R-.ie, to the tent of the Engineers, where a 'feast of shells" with much hilarity and good feeling came off. It was an auspicious day for Fay ette vi lie ; and all were happy. Fay. Argus. The Democrats of North Carolina have nominated Thomas Bragg as their candidate f..r Governor.

The trial of Mathew Ward, at Elizabethtown, Ky., on die charge of killing Prof. Butler, seems to be exciting intense interest in that State. The prisoner, who is a man of considerable wealth, rides to the Court House in the carriage of George Helm, and is accompanied by his pa rents, Mrs. M. F. Ward and two younger broth ers, all of whom occupy seats within the bar. The correspondent of the Louisville Courier says that Mr. Ward looks very ill, and appear ed supporting himself on a crutch, and leaning on the arm ot a trtend. It adds : "His face is very pale, with a Blight flush high up on each cheek. His deportment in court was that of a languid, mentally and physically enfeebled person, throughout whose entire sys tem disease had ruthlessly ravaged. It was but occasionally during the day that he held any conference with his attorneys. He seems con tent with their skill in managing the case. The other prisoner, Robert J. Ward, Jr., had an air of nonchalance don't care -about him." The evidence of the pupils of Mr. Butler, in spite of a severe cross-examination, is mention ed an positive, and remained unshaken. On the 18th inst., an exciting little scene occurred be tween the Hon. Ihomas i. Marshall, and Air. Carpenter, of Covington, opposing counsel. The correspondent of the Louisville Journal thus states the affair : : At the close of some remarks of Mr. Marsha ll, Mr. Carpenter said, 'you ara quite theatrical, sir.' 'Yes,' said Marshall, fixing his eyes upon Carpenter, all the world s a stage, but 1 should be sorry to act on tnis occasion tne part in which some others have chosen to appear.' Things looked a little threatening between the two gentlemen for a moment, but the judge promptly arrested the matter." The editor of the Jackson (Miss.)
