Thus, the eight Southern Whig Taylor
members of Congress, have for wretched
party purporses, defeated a measure which
was in every way agreeable to the South,
and which would have put the disunion
ists under the ban. They have wilfully
broken the olive-branch of peace and the
Constitution, and by furnishing new ali
ment to the fireband of discord, sacrificed
the rights of-the' South apd. perilled the
Union.- The Union says that on Satur

A 3ourig lady of this city, highly es

for some" length of time but was supposed
to be convalescent, had "a dream a ; frw
nights since, in which, it appeared to her
that she would die at 8 o'clock the san o
evening. On awakening, she informed
the family of her dream, and remained
firmly impressed with the idea that she
should die at the . hourdesignated, and un
der that belief called her. brothers and sis
ters around her, giving them good advice
with reference to the future.. Strange to
say, arid remarkable as it may, -seem, on
the approach of S o'clock-she manifested a
calm resignation. Almost as e c).c
