XtaT" It having been stated that a correspond ence had some time since taken -place between President Pierce and General Sam lhustou,vhich would, if published, reflect discreditably upon tlie latter, the Hero of San Jacinto, in a recent speech, alludes to the charge, aad intimates that he haa t o fear of aaid publication. Says he : " Wltat it means, I am not aware of. If auy correspondence has taken place between. Mr. Pierce and myself, I release him from all obli ga- tiou to withhold it, and he is at liberty to pub lish it whenever he may think proper. Surety I have no recollection of any private correspond ence and I do not only release him from with holding such correspondence, but all others who may have' correspondence of mine.' I have no secrets. , I may have charged tliat Mr. Pierce liad not redermCil the pledges given by him to dUcountenance all agitatioo of the slavery ques tion. 1 liAve alleged that he was pledged to re sist it, and if he has not done, he has aided with his influence in bringing altont a rejeal of the Missouri Gmpromise, and that was the sole cause of agitation ; and I do charge Um with violation tf hfs aolemia pledges. Agitation. was dead,' bnt he haa given it vitality and life." Let us have lie correspondence, by all means. We are the special . friend of neither party, and,' if it shall torn - out a Kilkenny cat affair, will have but few tears to shed.' ' But, Gen. Houston not satisdied with the above challenge to the Administration, carries the war into Africa aa thus: J ' " I, charge Mr. Pierce with having trifled with the best interests of the country. He has pro duced a degree of disarrancemetit in tlie political elements of it which were unknowu at any for mer period. . The r Id Jackson democracy stood upou principles. They were conservative, and adhered to the Constitution arid the Union. It would seem an attempt had been made to engraft upon them others that were alien in principle, and could not be relied on without a . portion of the "loaves and fishes," whilst the capital or pat ronage was expeuded in bouuties to enlist nev recruits, to raise force sufficient to .secure him victory in another Presidential campaign.

When speaking of the value of ex perience and reputation to an officer in service, he argued that in many instances ho would se lect that of Cwmmndore Stewart the presence alone ot sued a commander in a . neet would do more to animate his subordinates to courage and duty than any amount of thews aud sinews. In his history of thvsiee of Troy .Homer did nrtt make Agamemnon detail the aged .Nestor to lead every night attack X lie ord reil Tor that duty tlie young aiui intrepid jjivsses aim uionieii. nut wiicn the Trolms' irnshed unon the Grecian cam u.' and uiider the brJers of flectir, had- nearly reached t'ae ships with their firehrauds, then came forth the venerable Nestor, aud, with trembling hands, enconraged and rennimated the younger spirits, which .were yielding to the. fierceness of the ons-t. Mr. Masox took the same Veueral view as the Senator who preceled him. He also ad T c ited a repeal ot tlie taw, which w. a ;1 restore retired ofricera to precisely the same positions they held Itvfore tlie law was passed : and ho thought if the President should send to the Sen ate any nominations to supply the vacancies created under the operations of the law, - that it wonl-1 be unconstitutional, and the Senate should refuse its confirmation of any such.. Mr. Toccky took, in part, similar ground to that assumed by the Senator from irginia. tie coiiKidered the law ns in some respects contrary to the Constitu tioii : but he believed a discussion upon the va rious phases which the question assumed to be premature, nnd he. would refrain. A desultory debate, though conducted with luterestand legal aciiteness, then ensued between the gentlemen above mentioned and Mr. Bex J ami M, who forti fied the positions already defended by him, ami Argued, in addition, that if the Senate should to day confirm the new names which might be sent to them for confirmation to fill the uewly-crea- ted vacancies, and then repeal the law, so far from the retired officers retaking their former rank, they would he no longer in tlie service in any capacity. . further debate was then post poned till Moudav, to which day the Senate ad ji turned. Is th JIocsk ok Kefrksectativks the Presi- lent's Annual Message was referred to the Com mittee of the Whole. Numerous communications from the several Departments were read and re- erred. Tlie memorial of Andrew H. Keeder, contesting the seat of John V . Whitfield as del egate from Kansas, was read and referred. An incidental discussion sprung up on the question f referring the Special Message of the President in relation to Kansas-, some members desiring to refer one portion of it to the Committee on Ter- rit. tries and at.other portion to the Committee on the Ju.liciary. It was finally referred, by a close vote, to the Committee of the Whole House, in which it is likely to undergo a debate of sev eral weeks' duration. It is easy to perceive that there will be a warm party struggle on this sub ject, from which material ftr the Presidential e Icetion is to lie gathered. Mr. Campbem. made an effort to take up the resolution fnim the Senate appropriating fifteen hundred dollars fir fuel for the snnering poor of the cities of Washington and Georgetown, but objection was interposed. An adjournment took place till Monday. . ; : - Intelligencer. t From the Albany Evening Journal. KNOW NOTHING SNIVELLING ABOUT "PAPAL INFLUENCE." "The total population of tlie State of New York is in round numbers, 3.475,000. Of these G33, 000 are of foreign birth. Sectarians whose fears of " Papal Influence" have been skilfully played upon, may not gener ally be aware of the fact, that the Census showed that in the State of New Yorfc there was but one Catholic Church edifice to 17,699 denominated Catholic believers. In the United States at large, there was but one church to every 18,901 Cath olics." . 1 Tlie trouble in this State is not so much with the Catludics themselves, as with the Scwards and Weeds, who, for years, have been selling out the 2,842,000 Americans to the C33.0O0 foreign ers, in contracts with Bishop Hughes about "Free Schools,' "Church Property," &e. Under the Seward and Weed dynasty of New York, we, 2,842,000 Americans, have had the hardest sort of work to do, to save our Free Schools from Roman Catholic Government ; to keep our school money from division and plunder; to have the Bible used in schools ; and to save, the whole vast Roman Catholic property of the State from being vested in one person Archbishop Hughes who wished toehold it subject to the orders only of the Pope of Rome. The struggle haa been sharp and intense, and, at one time, the Protestant props of the State were nearly all tumbling into Archbwliop Hughes' hands,through Se-vard and Weed influence at Albany. We wore sold out to win comparatively a few Irish votes, that the Roman Hierarchy here were pre sumed to own ! Foreigners would let us alone, but for the American demagogues. But, if in Austria, or Spain, ur Italy, or Bava ria, there were (as here) only 688,000 Protestants, ami 2,842,000 Catholics, what would be done with us Protestants 7 W e could not throw up the spire of a church'to Heaven I We could not worship God in public ! We could pot have a Minister of God about our bed side, not of the Ro.nan Catholic Church, save iu secret, to pray f r us in the hour of death. We could not read ' and spread tlie Holy Bible in the face of day. When our souls left our bodies, the poor body even would be shut out from the grave church yard, j No right of conscience, no right of liberty would be left us. And yet we, 2,842,000 strong, against 633,000 strangers,-4-who but ask that these Americans make equal laws for these stran gers, are denounced by American demagogues, while begging for Irish votes, as "Know Nothing snivellers" about Papal influence. A. F. e. ' IMPORTANT FROM THE FEJEE ISLANDS. THE SAVAGES SEVERELY PUNISHED . Bv the arrival of the St. Louis, from Aspinwall, we have received important intelligence" from the Fcjee Islands. We take the ! following frorrr the Panima star and Herald, of rub' otb ; - - ' -- Tlie U nited States slooo-of-war Jno.' Adams; E. B. Boutwell, Commander, arrived at this port early on Sunday morning, (3d February,) from tlie Fejec Islands, ria Valparaiso. The following interesting particulars have - reached us: ... .. . . V. The United States shin John Adams left this port in July last, bound to the Fejee Islands, to inquire into and seek reparation for many cruel- l ties committed by the natives inhabiting those is-! lands, and to deinaud indemnity for the plunder ! of several American ships trading and fishing in the Fejeein archipelago. ; . . ' The obstinate aud refractory nature of these savages lem:uiding the exercise of rigorous and harsh measures, the commander of the John' Adams deemed it expedient to teach them their : obligations to the human race; aud did so" in a ! manner that made some impression upon them, and which, it is to be iioppd, they will long re member, : During the cruising of the John Adams in the Fejee group of islands, five sharp engage ments took place between her crew and tlie can nibals of : Polynesia, in which American valor was always victorious. -1 ' " - - ' Five of. their largest towns tvere burnt, and all the houses therein reduced to ashes. ' -' We learn that an important treaty has been ratified bet ween Commander j Boutwell and Tui Tite of Tbokamban, the King of Fejee, on Itehalf of the American government, the particulars of which hate not transpired.

Next morning, we saw tlie fU, Soldiers marchin" up the eardeu- path to the ggflte and then the little procession halted ; and tfte boys waved their caps, and one uear nine toau. kissed her mitten at us and then away tliey ww witlrsuxh cheerful faces. Poor old soldiers ! what a long, long siege you have before yon ! L thank Heaven for tins great privilege, that our little ones go to school in the country. . . ' N t in tlie narrow streets of the city : not- over the flinty pavements : not amid the crush of crowds. and the din of wheels: but out in the sweet woodlands and meadows ; out in the open- air, and under the blue sky cheered on by the birds of spring and summer, or braced by the stormy. winds of ruder seasons. Learning: a thousand lessons city children uever learn ; gettiag naturo by heart and treasuring up in their little souls the beautiful stories written in God's great picture-book. We have great times now when the old sol diers come home from school in the afternoon. The whole household is put under ' martial law until the old soldiers get their rations. Bless their white heads, how hungry1 they arevX)nce in a while they get pudding,, by way of a treat. Then what chuckling and rubbing of little fists, and cheers, as the three white heads touch each other over th pan. - I think an artist could make a charming picture of that group of urchins, especially if he painted them in their school knapsacks. ! ! Sometimes ; we get glimpses of their minor world its half-fledged ambitions, its puny cares, its hopes and its disappointments. The first af ternoon they: returned from school, open flew every satchel, and out came a little book. -A couduct-book ! There was G. for good boy, and K. Tor reading, and S. for spelling, aud so on ; and opposite every letter a - good mark. From the early records in the conduct-books, the schoolmistress must have had an elegant time of it for the first few days, with.. the old soldiers. then there came a dark day ; and on that after noon, trom trie force ol circumstances, the old oldiers did not seem to care about showing up.. Every little, reluctant hand, however, went into its 'satchel upou requisition, , and out came the records. It was evident, from a tiny legion of crosses in the books, that the mistress s duties had been rather irksome that morning. So the small column was ordered to deploy in Hue of battle, and, after a short address, dismissed, with out pudding. In consequence, the old soldiers now get some good marks every day. YV e begin to observe the first indications of a love for society growing up with their new. ex periences. It is curious to see the tiny filaments of friendship putting forth, and .winding their fragile tendrils around their small acquaintance. What a little world it fa the little world that is allowed to go into the menagerie at halfrpricc. Has it not its joys and its griefs : its cares aud its mortifications; its aspirations and. its des pairs 7 . Une day the old soldiers came home in high feather, with a note. An j invitation . to a party, "Master Millet s compliments and w uld be happy to see the Masters and Miss Sparrow grass to tea, on Saturday afternoon." What a. hurrah ! there was, when tlie note was read ; and. how the round eyes glistened with anticipa tion, and how their cheeks glowed with the run they- had - had.1! Ndt an inch of the way. from school had they walked, with that great note. There was much chuckling over their dinner, too; and We observed the glow never left their cheeks. even after they were in bed, and had been asleep for hours, 'then all their best clothes had to be taken out of the drawer, and brushed ; and the best collars laid out ; and a small silk apron, .with profuse 'ribbons, improvised for our little maid ; and a great-to-de generally. Next morn ing I left them, as I had to go to the -city ; but the day was bright and beautiful. At noon, the sky grew cloudy. ' At 2 o'clock ; it commenced raining. At, three it rained steadily. When I reached home in the evening, they were all iu bed again; and 1 learned they had been prevented going to the party on account of thejKfiAther. ; "They had been dreadfully disappointed," Mrs. Sparrowgrass said ;.so we took a. lamp and went up to have a look at them. There they- lay. the- hopeful roses of yesterday: all faded ; and one poor old soldier was sobbing in his sleep. W e begin to think our eldest is nourishing a secret passion tinder his belt-buttons. He .has been seen brushing his hair more than once, lately; and, not long since, tlie two youngest came home crying, .without him. J Upon investigation, we found our eldest had gone off with school girl twice his size ; and when he returned, he said he had only gone home with her, because she promised to put some bay rum orr his hair. He has even had the audacity to1 ask me to write a piece of poetry about her, and of course I com plied; ,i ..;-. f.. f '"' " TO IfT BIO 8WKKTHEABT. , : ' ' .

One sum mer afternoon, as the train flew by tlie cottage, (for the station is beyond it a short walk,) I ob served quite a.conconrse of people on one side the track on the dockr and down by the water's edge. So when the cars stopped, I hurried back over the gound I had just passed, and orr my way met a man who told me a little boy Was drowned in the water in frout of my house. jWIiata des perate race Sparrowgras ran that day, with the image of each of his children successively drpwn4 ed passing through his mind with tlie rapidity of lightning flashes ! i When I got in the crowd of people, I saw a poor woman lying lifeless in the arms of two other women ; some were bathing her forehead, some were charing her hands,'aud just then I heard some one say, "It is his mother, poor tiling.' How cruel it was in me, to whisper . "Thank God !" but pould I help it ? J To rush up the bank, to, get the boat-house Hyi to throw open the outside doors, and swing out the davits, was but an instant's work ; and then down went the boat from the blocks, and a volunteer crew had pushed, her off in a moment. Then they slowly rowed her down the river, close iu shore ; for the tide was falling, and every now and then the iron boat-hook sank under tlie water on its errand of mercy. Meanwhile we lashed hooks to ether poles, and along the beach, amloij the dock, a number of men were busy searching for the body. At hist there was a subdued 'j shout it came from the rivtr, a lit Iti south of the. boat house and the men dropped the poles on the dock, and on the beach, and ran down jthat way, and we saw a little- white object glisten in the armS of the boat-men,, and then it was jlaid, ten derly, face downward,' on the grass, that grew on the parapet of the rail-way.- Poor little fellow I He had been bathing ou tl e beach, and had ven tured out beyond his depth in the river, f- It was too late tr recall that little spirit tlie slender breatli had bubbled up through the wilier Half an hour before.

I I V hen 1 came up on the bank again; !1 thanked God, for thegroup of small, sad faces I! found there partly for their safety partly fof. their sympathy. And we; observed . that!
