Dickik- ' eon, Esq , of this town, we placejbefore our readers, i as the besi method of bringing this interesting sub-1 ject bafor them.

I My Dear Sir I take the liberty of addressing yon in rejard lo the expediency of lighting the town of Wilmington with Gas, and tho probability of or- 1 ganlzing a Company, either in a privately associated or incorporated capacity. The " Sylvic Gas Light Company" of Boston, in which I am a Director, have a Charter from the Le gislature of Massachusetts, with a capital of 165,000, snd are prepared to erect Gaa Works, not only In this State, but in any other where they mny obtain a eon tract; and they have been eminently successful where they have operated ; In proof of which, we can point yon to the city of Nsrfolk (the nearest place; to you) where we erected and put in successful ope-1 ration, within the space of four months, the cntiro ( fixtures snd apparatus for that city. Our Company I would like to negotiate a contract for lighting your j town. You will please bear in mind that the gas we , ues U that made from Rosin, a malarial in your State, inexhaustible and ol little cost. j I bring this subject to your notice first, that you may look into the matter and see, as you csnnol fail ! to do, that it preseot an opportunity, should s con tract be negotiated, for a profitable Investment i per- nionently to. I It ha occurred to me (and I have given the sub- ' jecl aonv attention) that Wilmington is admirably situated, in ttery respect, for the Introduction of the Koala Gas, and that the consumption must be great , 1 nd to much am I, od so favorably Impressed, that, in the event of obtaining contract, I would pledge myself to furnish 13,000 of the stock, at ten days notice. Io fact, I am authorized to iiute that my friend hera would be glad to make the investment. Our Company wauld be willing to contract to erect (Jo Work in your town, snd put them in success ful operation within four month from the sealing of me contract. Let me invite your special attention to ihla subject as one worthy of it.

We learn, from an Intelligent gentleman of this town, lately from Washington City, that it is the opinion of all parties in Congressman others con veraant with public affairs, that the difficulty be tween the South and North will be amicably adjus ted, ft affords us great plensure to give this infor mation, aa it may allay excitement, which ia to be deprecated at all limes, and especially on this vital ly important subject. DEN OF COUNTERFEITERS. An arrest of two eounu rfciler,Jnamed Bristol Bill and Meadows, was made in Peacham, Vermont on Sunday Inst, .supposed to be conceded with others. There were platea to nearly 200 Banks in their pos session, with a Pies and many other articles to work with. THE ELECTION RIOT AT MONTREAL. The Montreal Pilot contains the particulars of tho riot at the Municipal Election in that city, which resulted in the triumph of the annexationists. In the West Ward, during the afternoon, axeblades and pistola were in requisition, and the former were free ly uaed. Soma active partisans on both aides were hnrdly used, und some who were quietly walking the streets were brutally assaulted. One 'gentleman WD9 assaulted while walking with two ladies; oth ers were wounded by blows from clubs and axes, which subsided with the close of the polls. THE NASHVILLE CONVENTION. The New Orleans ''Crescent" Bays that several of the public journals of Tcxns denounce iu no measured terms the resolutions passed by the Leg islature recommending tin people to hold elections for Delegates to the Naslnillu Convention. The Galveston Journal of the 1st insl. contains tho fol lowing : " When the people want to send Delegates to ' Nashville, or any other place, they will find means ' of doing so propably without diverting the iitten ' lion of the Legislature fromj its legltlmato busi ' ness. Legislative assemblies, however, have ' become, like arrant school boys, apt in mischie f, ' but slow a: what they arc elected and paid for, viz : 'making laws for the public good. The people ' have not thought the rmurgency required the ac ' (ion that Is recommended, and the Legislature's ill ' timed resolution involves a degree of haste alto 1 gclhcr inappropiiate." CONGKESSIONLL. In the Sena', on the 12th, after petitions, and some Unimportant business, i ivir. r ooic hiovcu mm m r p I msn in Ana un Mr. Foote moved that Mr. Bell's lokcn w ,, a vi(!W (0 m)Ve lh(,ir to!crenK0 , comml(lee of ljrI constiluted bv Bclc(.llns gix fl0m (ie South and ljx frorn lne Noririi and the election by these twelve of a thirteenth member. j Mr. Baldwin opposed the motion, and went into the merits of the general question. He was called ; to order, and finally took his sent. ; Some conversation occurred between Mr. Hale I and Mr. Foote as to the construction of the commit tee; and Mr. Foote explained that the names were not designated. i The motion to take up was agreed to 24 to I Mr. Footo then offered the resolution to refer to n select committee, constiluted as above mcn 1 tioned. The Chair de-imed one part of it out of order the dckignation iifmotions. Mr. Foote modified the resolution to avoid the wbjecliun. Mr. Berrien opposed the objection of the Chair. Mr. Clay hoped the modification w ould be ad hered to by the mover. Although lie had doubts whether the committee would agree upon any plan which would succeed in the Senate, yet every effort ought to be made, day and night, to bring about a plan of accommodation. Mr. Builcr hoped that the reference would not , obstruct the discusaijn. Mr. Foote said it would not. Mr. Cass ruse to speak, and the cuKjcct was post poned till to-morrow. The Senate rsumcd the consideration of Mr. Clay's resolutions. Mr. Turney addressed the Semte in di fence of the rights of the South, lie vindicated the course of the South in regard to the Southern address, und the proposed Southern convention, to be held at Nashville Both of those were conservative ineas uraa, and they aimed el the preservation of the Un ion. The Union w hich the constitution established wss the only one worth preserving. If the North continued their aggressions resistance would follow and resistance, he contended, wss disunion. it was tmo the South waa not entirely unani mous, and those in the South who held back, w ere i worse than their Northern opponents : they were' neither true to thu constitution, nor to tho Union. They might be true to themselves, if their object n disunion. The Northern anti-alavery party as represented in the speech ol the Senator from New York, Mr. Seward, yesterday, were, as he argued, dlsunlontsts. The doctrines of ths party, as he proposed to allow, were subversive of the constitution. After executive session, the Senate adjourned. ' in tho Home, on tho 12lh, on motion by Mr. Rich ardson, the rulcra were suspended and the House re solved itself Into committee of the whole on the stste of the Union (Mr. Boyd in the Chair,) nd re sumed the consideration of the bill to admit Cali fornia a a State into the Uuion. Mr. Gorman, who was entitled Io the floor, main tained that the territory of the United Stale acquir ed from Msxieo wars sll free territories t and that slavery should not be extendsd to them. He then reviewed the action of the two great parties of the country upon the slats question, for year pt, and with the view to show that th democratio party of thn country wet the only party which had stood up for the compromise of-rh Constitution and for the j right of th South. , ; . , y . He maintained th doctrine of non-intervention in regard to thoae territories tho ductrln of the democrurlc party In th last Presidential contest a doctrine, he said, In which th entire whig part) of the North hud resisted a party deeply dyed in abolition every whero in the Iree State. lie ex pressed tho belief that the Union would b preserved, and thai il would only be by observing tho compro-'jng mlses of thu constitution. He would not vote for the Missouri compromise line because he waa for leaving to the people bqth North end South of that Imaginary line to adipt auch Institutions as they thought would prosper their interests. He x pressed himself aa utterly opposed lo the Wilmot proviso, a thing, he said conceived in iniquity and brought forth in corruption, and to gratify a malignant spirit. Ho was in favor of ad mitting California. Mr. Butler, of Cf, then obtained the floor and ad vocated the adoption of the Wilmot proviso In all bills for the organization of the territories. Ho wot for the admission of California. , Mr. Disney, of Ohio, next obtained the floor, buj gave way to a motion that the committee rise. Tly committee rose, and the House, at a quarter to fou adjourned. ),,. , In )6 'Senate, on the 13th, Mr. Seaward presented a scries of abolition petitions, praying the exclusion of slavery in the Territories and the non-admission of slave States. Objections being made, the petitions were received by a vote of 24 yeas to IS nays. He then presented others, praying tho abolition of slavery in the District, &c. Mr. Butler snd Mr. Kin? expressed their regret that tho usual course had been abondoncd, ami de clared their intention never more to object to the re ception of any petition. Mr. Badger expressed different views. Several Senators expressing a desire to speak. Mr. Dickinson obtained the floor, and on his mo tion the whole subject was laid on the table. Mr. Foot's motion lo refer the compromise reso lution of Mr. Bell to a select committee, was taken up. Mr. Benton moved as an instruction, that the com mittee should have nothing lo do with the subjtel of the admission of California. Mr. Cuss then addressed the Senate in support of the motion to create a committee. He agreed with Mr. Clay, nnd would vote lor any tiling looking to n settlement. lie complimented Mr. Fool for his de serving efforts on ibis point, and thought the coun try owe I him a debt of gratitude, lie said he con sidered the stand taken by Mr. F. in promptly ex pressing his dissent from the conclusions lo which Mr. Calhoun had arrived in his great speech, was example of high moral courage. Mr. Cass then commented upon portions of Mr. Calhoun's speech, and said they were calculated to depress the hearts uf the friends of the Union. They bore the mclanchuly hue at the sick chamber. .Mr. Calhoun interrupted the Senator anddefcndi d his remarks. He proposed remedies. The Senator from Michigan only palliatives. If the L'nios was dissolved the Senator would have had his sharo in the act, from hit tcmponzina policy. Mr. Cass defended himself, but aalhe time for the special order was arrived, he would give way nnd Conclude lo-morrow. Mr. Foote then defended his course. He review ed the impressions produced upon his mind by the speech of the Senator, and said thnt if it had been al lowed to go forth without any dissent, as the voice of the South, the Nashville Convention mii;ht end in a dissolution of the Union. As an evidence of this he alluded to the effect produced at St. Louis when the speech was received, and where it was de clared that Mr. Benton's charge had been sustained. Mr. Calhoun said his speech would speak for it self. The report of it had at St. Louis was a tele graphic report, which he repudiated. After some words from Messrs. Case, Cullionn, Foote, Dayton, Douglas and Davis, about the dis position of business, the subject was postponed till to-morrow. The California question was then taken up, and Mr. Douglas, uddessed the Senate, defending the Northern Democrats against ihe charge of guaran tying more sluve Slates by annexing Texas. He re pudiated the Wilmot proviso, at the present day, as unnecessary. He was for the true doctrine of non intervention. Gen. Taylor had been elected as a Wilmot proviso man, and was not one. To hide the cheat, the country was kepi in alarm. He replied a' length to Mr. Calhoun, end hud not concluded when ihe Senate adjourned. In the House, on the 13th, Mr. Boyd asked tho unanimous consent of tht House to introduce (that Ihey might lie on the table and be printed) the Con stitution of California, together with the credentials of Messrs. Wright and Gilbert, representativca elect, ttnd the memorial of ihe delegalion to Congress on the subject. Mr. Ashmun was under the impression that the Constution of California had been sent lo the House by the President, and (hat it was before the commit tee of the Whole nn ihe Slate of the Union. He ex pressed the hope that the popcrs would go to the Committee on Territories. . Mr. Burt said, is he believed that it was the deter mination, of the gentlemen from Kentucky (Mr. Boyd simply to niako the motion he had made, and that it was not his intention lo make another, ho (Mr. Burt) would not object. Bui he would object if il were sought lo make any reference lo ihcse pa pers. Mr. Wentworlh would object, unless the pnpers were referred lo the Committee, ol ihe Whole on ihe State uf the Union. Mr. Boyd hoped that there would he no objection. Tho gentleman sent here lo represent California were presaed to ask for the admission ol California into the Union. Mr. Wentworlh withdraw his objection. Mr. Alston, however, renewed it, and so the pa pers were not introduced. Mr. Preston King offered a rcsolutUn to terminate the dvbatc on ihe California question on Wednesday next, at two o'clock, and on his own motion il was laid on the table. After which the house adjourned. Flood in Ohio. Our Ohio exchange papers speak of an extraordinary flood from the late rains in all parts of thot Slate. Much damage ha been done lo property. Numerous railroads and turnpike bridg es were swept awsy, stopping travelling, and four breaks occurred In th Miamt canal. The Hocking was higher at Lancaster than il had been for year. Adventure with a Highway Robbery near "; JJoatou.. ;. ;' .' ' t Rufus E. Dixon, of Dedharrr; Massachusetts, was- stopped a few evenings elnoe, be tween 9 and 10 o' clock, by two men, between . Walpole and Dedham. One of them eeiw Mr. D'a horse by the head', while the other pulled him out of the clralse) thu fel low who had hold the horse, said to the oilier, 11 Kill him so that he won't blob," whereupon hsthursta lung dirk through hi overcoat, passing through hi dress coat and vest, and cutting tho ehirt, and pas- oul 0f (,e back of the coat six inches from where it entered, without Injuring him. Mr. D. then said to them, "Spare my life, and I will give you thirty dollars," and put his hand into hi coat pocket and opened a dirk knife. At tho moment he opened tho knife, Ihe one holding ihe horse spoke to the other, which attraction, and Dixon stuck his knife in'o the fellow's bosom, so hard as to stagger him back and make the blood flow freely. In the excitement of tho moment, Mr. D. jumpud into tho chaise, and made Ilia escape. Bosltn Dee. largt piecu of Gold Successful Diggers. A Cal ifornia correspondent of the New York Tribune says : Some astonishingly large pieces of gold are report ed to have been found at the Stockton mines, w'hhln the last two weeks. One piece weighing iwenly ihree pounds was brought lo Stockton on Thursday. Another piece of incredible size and weight, was al so reported to have been brought to Stockton on Friday it was said to weigh nincty eiglU poumU. I saw a number of persons on board ihe Stockton boat who had seen the lump weighing 23 pounds. The gentle-man who carries the express between Stockton ond Sun Francisco, told me ho saw and had in his hamls Ihe niece welching 99 pounds. If this ic true il Is the largest picco of gold ever found, excepting one found in the Ural mountains, which weighed nearly ono hundred pounds, troy. Digging gold is liko every tiling else In which men engage some succeed while others get dis couraged and go home pcnnyless. However among us those who are diligent and nol too fond of pros pecting, I believe there are but few unsuccessful, however widely their success may differ. A Mr. Arnold worked six week9 and obtained clear of expenses. 82,300. Another man jusl from the mines told me he had worked 37 days and had collected 41,9u0. Another gentleman from the same digyings had collected in three inoriihs 42,000. A Year Iu Power.
