The subject elicited some remarks in the Senate on Thursday last, in reply to an inquiry by Mr. BeU whether the Committee on Commerce ia that body meant to make a report without wait ing the action of the House of Re prosed tames f I The reply of the chairman, Mr. Hamlin, indicat ed . , di.po.iUon on th. part of the cmmitthiolg, th, M'int New await the movement of the House, as all appro priation, ought to originate in that branch ; thofgh there bad sometimes been, Mr. 11. said, bill, re ported in favor of appropriation, for such works Mltka-Miawesipp &m o4 otbeot of gejierai ebaraeteri- r.

But tbe iKuU-y and oimTersation thereon resulted in no assur ance that a general bill would be reported to the 8nte. Early in the session a motion was made in the House of Representatives to hove a bill reported making appropriations for the completion of work outhorixeii by the last Congress and now in process of construction ; but Hint was deferred, and the whole subject is before tlie Committee on Commerce, said to be favorable to improvements of a na-.ional character. The rroort i looked for with no small degree of intonest. The table given below sill show the aggregate amount aonu illy appropriated during a period of thirty-nTffe yenrs, the publication cif which may be acceptable to our readers at ibis time. In Janunry, 1R17, by k resolution of the Sen ate, a callwas mnde upon the Secretary of War for " a statement of all the appropriation mad for the construction and repair of all roads, furti flcirtions, and harbors, and fir -the hnprovemerrt of rivers, in each and all of the States and Ter- ritories of the I'nited States, showing the amount ture.

" ' Rumors from Wahingtoa represent thvA the Cabinet does not stand as a unit for the Xebias- ka Bill, and that there 1 considerable trembling at th White House on account of the noise and confusion getting up over the question. It an betu srfiJ that the President goes for the bill and that the influence of UKrA'duiinistrsli. will be thrown in favor of itspas.ig. This is about the amount of all that is known in regard to its" position. It would be a sad disappointment and an ugly piece of business with Southern stand-by' the Adminis tration journals if their high hope ef the Brig adier should not be realised in this. They would have to keep as quiet hereafter on th subject a some of their ootrmporarie have had to do on the. Pacific Railroad, or face about with the Ad ministration. ' It would be cruel in th Adminstretioa to de prive thorn of a little comfort now, and a chance once, more to expatiate on Southern rights, in ihr'faxort has, made within, the past- twelve moiillis,; in SefuudiBg the Administration, together with all it Free Soil yntpathiea.r". They, stood hy fhd Ad- uni ring tlie power and patrouage of tlie government upon their Free Soil eLUe-ith a lavish, hand They bore it all with a meekness and humility worthy of ppod christian. Th men they had denounced boretofore as th rank enemies of tlie South they even consented to fraternise with in a must brotherly manner, over the division of the spoils. The men of their by tb South when the block tide of Abolition raged highest, they readily sacrificed. It was ,he policy of tlie'Adu.uiiistrutioll. They .wallow ed it: And will n it the Administration return the favor in this single instance, by stand ing' by them long enough to, permit" of their indulging once again in blood and thunder tone for the uiaintalnence of Southern institutions, if fir no other reason than that ofmaking a little po litical Capital at the South. ' " . W bespeak the indulgence of tlie Brigadier and his Cabinet counsellor, in consideration of tlie subserviency the fire-eating Democratic press of the South have rendered thus far, to favor them with an opportunity, if only for a short time, t thieeeeasiun tolet off A portinn uf ihoir pcnt up Southern-patriotism. It ha been aocumula ihg on their hands for some time, and they . will not only feel better by Wing relieved of it, but be better titled fur standing by the Administration in brav defence of all it Freesoil tendencies now and hereafter. Our attention has been called lo this suljoct by various 'rumoir ffom Wtuhington, ttint there wa no little agitation and wavering among the 1 powers, that ba in regard to th Nebraska Bill aiid'tliat, coneidqriug the powerful effect, of old associations, sympathies, and so on, there was no tellin j what Influence the demonstration now be ing made, might bar upnn jhe Administiation. It miglit be well, therefore fur our Southern Democratic friends not to hollow too loud before they are out of the woods ItkhmuMif Wkig. A FxaALiCarrira lUcovc.ie raon th. Ca sNctiu. Mis.
