There is no little stir in the North and West relative to the Nebraska Question, but the most important action to note, at present, is that of Congress. Mr. Docgi.as gave notice on Friday last that he desired to bring tho debate to a close on yesterday. He said : The friends of this bill, under the impression that it seems to be the understanding of its op ponents .hat the debate may be concluded at an early day. have consulted together as to how long a time its friends would be responsible for per f tin it, and have come to the conclusion that toiay, to-morrow, Monday, and Tuesday wonld Dable us to bring the debate to the conclusion ; o that on Wednesday, at one o'clock, I may snro up the debate, and afterwards take the vote on that day. I make this announcement with tbr i iew that those who are anxious to go away may rely upon now we shall proceed to act. 1 would tate, therefore, to the friends of (he hill, that on tliat day I Khali ask that the vote m.iy be taken, in pursuance of what I believe to be the general understanding. The Senator from South Carolina (Mr. Bntler) will, I understand he able to go on to-day, after the Senator from Virginia. But -Mr. Cbasc said ho wished to propose a Dumber of amendments to the Bill, and a k the vwte of the Senate upon them, but that he won hi not interpose any objection to the question being taken at the earliest possible moment, consistent ly with doing his whole duty in regard te it. To ltat length the gentleman's sense of duty may carry him, U quite uncertain H may be his in tention to postpone final action as long as possi ble, by moving these amendments. The Senate is flooded with remonstrances against the Bill. The N. Y. Herald says : ' Among the documents was one signed by Mm. Uncle Tom Stowc and some twenty-two hundred persons pre cisely half of (hem males, belonging to Massachu setts. These people, who sre perfectly willing that Congress should legislate slavery out of all Territories, deny that the same body has the right to permit the inhabitants ol said Territories to devise and execute such laws as they may deem j beneficial to their interests. One thing is partic ularly worthy of notice: while the generality of the peojle, through their silence, give acquies cence to the measure before Congress, the free soilers are vainly endeavoring to create as excite ment, and otherwise doing their utmost to defeat it. The sober-minded reader cannot have failed to observe that nearly all the opposition comes from quarters that have long been noted for the rank abolitionism of their inhabitants vide the meeting in Aabarn, Mr. 8eward's home, in Bos ton, in Hartford last evening, die." The Legislature of Wisconsin have passed Res olutions condemning the Nebraska Bill, in the House, by a vote of 47 to 20. The Democratic State Convention, which as sembled at Hartford, Conn, on the 22d of Febru ary, passed a Resolution, nearly unanimously, as iouows : Resolvw), That the Democracy of Connecticut do recognise the doctrines of the Baltimore Con vention that nominated Franklin Pierce as candi dal" for the Presidency, and also the principles announced in the Inaugural Addrese of President Pierce; and we now abide by those principles and stand npon that platform ; and, relying upon the wisdom and the integrity of our frtendiin Congress, that .hey will be- true and faithful to all Compromises, especially to the ordinance of mo compromise of 1820. and that of I860 aaures heretofore adopted in our national coun cils for the settlement of the slavery qneatlon e have foil confidence that snch measures wili le acquiesced in and agreed upon as may best maintain and perpetuate the glorious Union of these United States. The above concludes with a glorification about tl.. IT: . . . . - " me united States, while it invokes ne congressional power to set aside the provis ions of the Constitution, in order to "settle the slavery question." The Constitution settled that """" go, bat politicians, who wfah to de- .ru, iur.Sni, oi iims Booth uadjr U, unsettled it and are anxious to keep it in that state, under . vile pretence-professing to be lb lovers of peace and order, while under tho influence of the Com prowl ses they bare done all in their power to brea up son t hern society, and barraaa and an poy (heir (fellow citizens of the slave States.

Davis, Cap tein Curling master, while orl her voyage to New Orleans, with every soul on board (excepting one man) in all 30 persons. The ship had become un manageable in the course of the recent fearful westerly gales, and in attempting, on the night of the 26th of January, to weather Barra head, she went ashore on the rocks of Vatersay, within a short distance of the spot whir-' the Anne Jane an emigrant ship, was lout a few months since. The moment the ill-fated ship touched the rocks, the master and crew took to the rigging, as their only chance of escape, expecting, no doubt, as the wreck heeled over, they would be able to gain the rocks. In a few minutes the ship was dashed to pieces, and the whole of the poor fellows fell a mid the wreck and perished. Only one escaped the steward, a young man, named Robert Wil liam Rushmore, of Liverpool. He took refuge on the bowsprit, and as the vessel went to pieces he sprang forward and succeeded in reaching Uie rocks in safety, although very much bruised. He vas almuHt insensible wnen assistance arnvea me next morning. Several bodies of the crew were ; discovered among the rocks by the fishermen, w ho i conveyed them to Vatersay for interment. CONGRESSIONAL Washington, Feb. 27. The Senate somewhat J contrary to its wont held a session on Saturday, and an interesting one ; for what was said, how- j ever, rather than what was done. After the dis- ; pos.il of some morning business a subject was j brought to the notice of the Senate by Mr. Cass which gave rise to a brief discussion of some nig- i niflcance, but in which spice and pleasantry were agreeably mingled. After this the Nebraska bill was resumed and debated until the adjonrnment by Mr. Butler, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Dodge ,of Iowa, in snpport of it. Mr. Cass, it is understood, will address the Senate on the Subject to-day. The House of Representatives did not sit on Saturday. Froin the Liverpool Times. THE AMERICAN LEGATION PLAIN DRESS Som stir has been caused in diplomatic circles by the absence of the American Ambassador from the opening of Parliament on Tuesday. The Times blundered in its account of the ceremony thus : ; "Only one exception to official uniform was ob servable, and the gentleman in question, who ap peared in evening dress and seemed unpleasantly conscious of his singularity, was .it once set down as the American Minister." The mistake on the part of the leading morning paper was too good a thingjto be passed over, and the Globe accordingly lost no time in supplying the real facts. "Neither the Minister nor any member of the Legation," says the evening Ministerial organ, "was present, information having been sent by the master of ceremonies that members of the Diplo matic Corps must appear in court dress, which cannot be worn by the American Legation without disregarding instruction." The Daily News is highly indignant at this al leged insult put upon the American people and Government, and our democratic cotemporary speaks out in this style : "There can be very little doubt that a deliberate insult has been offered to the great nation with which of all others, it bectmes-us to entertain the best relations. We will leave out of consideration the magnitude of trade with America, the com-munity-of language, the common stock we will only point to the possible position in which Eng land may be placed in the course of the war into which' it seems we are eutering. We hope, how ever, that a eaase for ill-feeling will not arise be tween the two great Anglo-Saxion nations on a subject which Is fitted to be debated only between a couple of Chamberlains of defunct Principalities of the ancient Germanic confederation." The most circumstantial account of this silly business. appears in the columns of tbe Morning Adrertiser: "Mr. Buchanan, we understand, wrote two let- "ers for cards of admission to his suite and others. No answer was vounchsafed to these, save a printed form, stating that court dress could not be dispen sed with, and two tickets, one for a lady, who does not even exist. "In this manner Governor ' Seymour, U. S. Am bassador to the Court of Russian, who Is now on bis way to St. Petersburg, was prevented from being present, although he applied to his Minister to get Wm a ticket of admission. He will proba atl Tr tl!terenUy "ertainedby the Emperor of all the French and tbe Czar of Russia both of whom will "condescend" JLi . livery " r ' tgun SERIOUS FIRE.

The tender was thrown forward and over turned on the track, while two of the cars laden with corn, were smashed to piecefs one against he i tender and the other .over the locomotive. The Engineer, J. H. Moores, was precipitated through the window of his cabin, into the bushes, and escaped with but trifling injury. One of the Firemen, Acc. Crammer was caught under the engine, but was extricated at the expense of a sprained wr'st. The other Fireman; David IIig oins, fell on the upper side of the engine, against which he was jammed by the heavy timbers of a fractured car, and a number of bags of corn which fell upon him. In this position, a portion of his person exposed to the escaping steam, and other portions pressed against the heated furnace, he remained for more than an hour before he was extricated. His injuries are very severe. The obstructions on the road arrested the Ham burg and Columbia Mail Trains until after nine o'clock in the evening, and they did not reach the city until midnight. 'Mercury. GEORGIA AND THE COMPROMISE. The Legislature of the State of Georgia adjourn ed sine die on the 17th instant. The following re solutions relative to the Nebraska bill were passed with but five dissenting votes in the Senate and by a unamimous vote in the House of Represen tatives "The State of Georgia, in solemn Convention having firmly fixed herself upon the princples of the compromise measures of 1850, relating to the subject of slavery in the Territories of the United States as a final settlement of the agitation of the question, its withdrawal from the halls of Congress and the political arena, and its reference to the people of the Territories interested therein ; and distinctly recognising in those compromise meas ures the doctrine that it is not competent for Con gress to impose any restrictions as to the existence of slavery among them upon the citizens moving into and settling upon the territories of the Union acquired or to be hereafter acquired ; but that the question whether slavery shall or shall not fonu a part of their domestic institutions is for them alone to determine for themselves ; and her present Exe. cutive having reiterated and affirmed the same fixed policy in his inaugural address. "Be tLresolreif by Ihe Senate and House of Rep resentatives of the Stale of Georgia in General As sembly met, That the Legislature of Georgia, as the representatives of the people, speaking thei1 will and expressing their feelings, have had their I confidence strengthened in the settled determina tion of the great body of tho Northern people to carry out in good faith those principles, in the practical application of them to the bills reported by Mr. Douglas, from the Committee on Territor ies, in the United States Senate, at the present session, projosing the organization of a Territorial Government for the Territorry of Nebraska. " And b.: it j trth'r rcsulceil, That our Senators in Congress be and they are hereby instructed, and our representatives requested, to vote for and support those principles, and to use ail proper means in their power for carrying them out, ei ther as applied to the government of the Territory of Nebraska or in any other bill for Territorial government which may come before them. " Resolved further. That his excellency the Gov ernor be requested to transmit a copy of these resolutions to each of our Senators and Represen tatives in Congress. from the Richmond Erening BuJietin. MRS. STOWE ON NEBRASKA. Mrs. Harriet Beechcr Stowe has issued an ad dress to the women of the Free States on the sub ject of Slavery in general, and the Nebraska bill in particular. The old lady makes a snuffling and canting appeal to her sisters in Israel to bestir themselves, to prevent the consummation of the great iniquity proposed by Senator Douglas. We are glad to see the genuine and unadulterated abolitionists of the North tho Stowcs, the Beech ers, the Parkers, Garrisons, &c . thus taking the lead in this new anti-slavery agitation. At all the meetings that have been held in tho North ern cities to denounce the repeal of the Missouri compromise, these pestilent fanatics and traitors have been the principal orators. We anticipate good resnlts from the forwardness of these people in pntting themselves at the head of the ami Ne braska movement. For tho last twenty years, the gieat body of the Northern people have listened with contemptuous indifference to their absurd and fanatical ravings, and it is hardly probable that at this late day, their rant will pass forinspi ration, or that they will now bo taken up as poli tical teachers and guides by the masses to whom fbey have so long been objects of contempt and aversion. A Northern journal remarks that the feeling of opposition to the Nebraska bill is strong in New York ; but that as It is, it is too weak to outlive for a month the favor of Theodore Parker, Mrs. Stowo, Garrison, and their abolition allies. We have no doubt that this remark is strictly true, and hence we see with pleasure that these notorious personages have constituted themselves the leaders of tho new crnsado. From Uu Petersburg Daily Express of Monday. DEATH OF GEN. ROBERT ARMSTRONG. The Washington Union of Friday announces the death of Gen. Robert Armstrong, the proprietor of that paper, and one of the editors. He died Thursday evening at seven o'clock, at his own residence, surrounded and solaced in his afflic tions by most of his children. His disease was congestion of the brain, and he was sixty-three years of age. His distinguished and gallant ser vices in the war of 1812 are matters of history. He was tbe bosom friend of General Jackson, and the man selected by him as the depositary, and keeper or his sword. It was oar fortune to be selected by General Jackson to deliver io Genera! Armstrong this invaluable legacy. The noble qualities which endeared him to General Jackson were his stern integrity, hi cool courage, his his sterling judgment, and his devoted patriotism. In tbe several responsible public trusts, civil and military, which he filled, these noble attributes marked his conduct. He enjoyed the unlimited confidence of Presidents .Jackson, Tan Buren, Polk, and Pierce. He was as. amiable and at tractive in the pi ivate relations ef life as he was fearless, honest, and faithful, in the discharge of his public duties , - A WEDDING PARTS' POISONED.

Major Gale- ood'en hi woy toiVdshington viih a Delegation of TourYttrT C5iiWl The ttipulatiOn ofjhe 7) eaj' 8,000,000 Acre Vetted (o Uu Government. , .. 16 Major Gat ewooiL. of the Council Bluffs Indian sgeneyrrtred jh jfiU city yesterday, in company wiitfslateea Indians from the Nebraska Territory of whom fourteen are chiefs, and two interpreters. These chiefs are of the1 following' tribes: Oma has, Ottees and Missouris seven of the former, four of the second, and three of the latter. . The party arCWi theirWay to-WasWiigtoW-eityj and- came so far on their Joarocy by land. They leave on an Ohio river boat to-morrow evening. The Republican of this city has boen made ex ceedingly uubappy by the obstinate conduct of some-of the upper Mississippi river papers, in "stating, time and again, that Msjor Gatcwood was going to make, was making, and had made treaties uith the aforesaid Indian tribes. The editor of the Republican almost became frantic at L these announcements, and at last declared that Major Gatewood had '-no more authority to make' treaties with the Indians than he had." We presume the editor is right. We suppose that every schoolboy knows that no privMe'indi- idtial nor tubordioate officer wf tbe government can make a treaty." The ConMitntion of" the United States has settled that matter. But yet an individual, an officer, or .1 minister, such a. Nicholas P. Trist or Major Gatcwood, or General Gadsden, may profieiiy receive proposals for a treaty, ' beat down," suggest modifications, and get the best terms posMblo offered for a tr. aty and then submit the same to the governmental Washington city for consideration. This Majr Gatewood has done. The Republican has spoken, time and again, of Generai 'Gadsden's late'treaty with Mexico." But rs it a treaty, or only a pro gramme that may become a treaty ? The Repub lican's hatred of Nebraska most be intense to du sicend. to such imbecile hostility. The facts, wu learn from Major Gatcwood, nre as follows: He was directed to prevail on th ndiuns mentioned to consent to a treaty Willi the Uui-cd States for a sale of their land ; ami he was furnished with written powers of attorney which he was to get thoee Indians to ."-ign, dele gating power to their chiefs to go to Washington city to concludu the treaty. Major Gatewood could not succeed with this plan. Probably the Indians had as little confidence in their chiefs at the white people, of Missouri have in some of their leaders and public teachers. At all events, they wanted to know something about the treaty their chiefs were to make at Washington. They wanted a hand in making it. Therefore, Major G. failed in the tirat scheme. But, nothiug daun ted, lie went to workike a sensible man. and go. I the next best thing he could : He got the Indi- ans to say what sort of a treaty they would make, and he got the powers of attorney signi d. delega ting chiefs to go n to Wellington and conclude the proposed treaty, with authority granted to the chiefs to modify or adapt the treaty to the views of the United States Government. This i quite as good an arrangement as the original one. and U satbnVd the Indiana. Our government ought, and it no donbt will, be liberal with them. Tho terms of the treaty agreed to by them, we think, should bo accepted. They seem to us very liberal, and we think the thanks of the country are due to Major Gatewood for the tact he dis played in getting the Indians to propose a treaty, and to send on chRTs to conclude it. And his agreement with the Indians is as justly spoken of as a ''Gate ood's treaty," as Gadsden's with Mex ico as ''Gadsden's treaty." These matters being thus understood, we hope the Republican's norves will not bo too much shocked to bear another repetition of the particu lars of Major Gatewood's treaties, by which one half of Nebrask a, including the gnat valley ol the Platte, is to bo cleared of Indian title and opened to white settlement. So here goes from tho Sarannah Sentinel: The main features of the treaty with the Oina has are as follows : They cede to the govern ment all the country from the confluence of the Great Nebraska (Platte) with the Missouri, runn ing north as far as the Iouwa creek and west to the Loupe fork. The lands reserved for the fu ture homes of the Omaha is that port inn of coun ty embraced between the Iouwa creek and Noo brarah river. The amount of land embraced in this treaty It about 8 000000 aires, which will probably include 6 500.000 of good or arable land, for which it is stipulated that they shall receive S'40,000 a year for the term of thirty years, paya ble semi annually, furnished them with a black smith, gunsmith, break two hundred acres of land and protect them from the Sioux. The Qttoes treated February 4. The amount of land embraced in this treaty is between two and thres millions of acres, for which it is stipu lated that the government shall pay thcrri $12 000 annually for I ha space of thirty years. The land they reserve for their future occupancy lies due west from old Fort Kearney, upon the west hide of the Big Blue, beiug ten miles in width and run ning west indefinitely. The Tawnces arc out on a hunt, bat they have been ready to treat Cor a long time, and the other tribes having ceded, (here is no doubt about them. The quantity of land bargained for by these treaties amounts, it is said, to about 10,000 000 acres. The scope of countries extends from tho mouth of the Great Nemaba, sear the northern boundary Hne of Missouri, to the mouth of Iowa creek, oppsitc the southwest corner of Minnesota Territory. It fronts about 250 miles on the west side of the Missouri, and is a splendid, rich lime stone country. HEAVY FRESHET. We learn from passengers and officials on the Wilmington and Manchester Cars, which arrived this morning, that the Congarec River rose to a tremendous height yesterday morning. At Kings Tille, the risc was about seven inches per honr. At the time the Mancehster cars left Kingsville yesterday evening, from 150 to 200 yards of the South Carolina Rait Road had washed np in two different places, about 12 miles from the junction, and the water was still rising. Tbe mails and pas sengers had to be conveyed over the breaks by means of hand cars. Great fears were entertain ed for the safety of the Wateree .Trestle-work en the Manchester Road. At Camden yesterday morning the water was higher than it was -last year, when so much damage was done to the Cam den Road. It was feared the water wonld reach the top of the Trestle by day light this morning. We hope tbe fears entertained may not be realiz ed. Journal of Yesterday. MARTIN VAN BUREN.

A ROYAL QUANDARY. On the first consignment of Seidlitz Powers to the capital of Delhi, the monarch was deeply in terested in the accounts of the refreshing box. A box was brought to the king in full court, and the interpreter explained to his majesty how it Should be used. Into a goblet he put the twelve blue papers ; and having added water tlc king drank it off. This was the alkali, and the royal countenance expressed no sign of satisfaction. It was then explained that in the combination of the two powders lay the luxury; and the twelve white powders were quickly dissolved in water, and ' as eagerly swallowed by his majesty. With a shriek that will be remembered while Delhi is numbered with the kingdoms, the monarch rose, staggered, exploded, and, in his agonies, screamed, "Hold me down !" Then, rushing from the throne, fell prostrate on the floor. There he lay during the long continued effervescence of the compound, spurting like ten thousand pennyworth of imperial pop, and believing himself in the agonies of death, a melancholy and humiliating proof that kings are mortal. -HENRY'S INVIGORATING CORDIAL: The merits of this purely .vegetable extract fot the removal and cure of physical porstration, gen ital debility, nervons affections, &c. &c: arc fill ly described in another column of this paper, -t which the reader is referred. &2 pcrbottle,3 bot tles for So, six bottles for 58 ; $16 per dozen.
