For political wisdom wear., of course, to look to the assembled wisdom of, the Nation in the Halls of Congress, and when an lodor of morality Is combined with political tactics, the lessons be come very edify ing. We are incited to these reflections from some rcniarks lately made in the House of Representa tives, by a mcmbur, relative to the Mormons, no ting the fact that one of those deciples. the lead er, perhaps, had forty wives. The Statesman saw nothing wrong in this, as a subject of inter ference, because the sect called 8hakers live without having spy wives st all, and tescb the practice of celibacy. We are surprised that the gentleman did not see the vast difference between a neglect of an in junction and abstinence from a privilege, and a violation of a positive commandment. In the one case there is no special requirement, so far as in. dividuals are concerned, while in the other the commandment admits of no evasion. This is the case, so far the religion of Protestant Conn try, as this is, is concerned. But this practice ot a plurality of wives, is adultery by the common law, as well as the statute laws of all tbe States of the Union. Celibacy may const it ne a rule of or der, in Christian communities of the true faith, as in the case of the Roman Catholic Clergy and the Shakers, but plurality of wives, or rather adultery, never. No man can be a Christian who is the husband of more thsn one wife for any people to profess otherwise carries a fals hood .ii the face of the profession, too glaring for any other sentiments but deteststion snd scorn. By a like privilege number of persons in any ton or county in tbe country could set them elves a part, and erect a community of whore mongers and adulterers, under pretence of a relig ions faith. ---t- The Mormaa Iaiqulty is calculated to revolu tionize the wbolo country to render inapplicable all the operations of law in regard tooursocial sys tem, and destroy the moral Government of God. It the General Government has not the power to put down the horrible Morraan system, the peo ple shenld demand an alteration of the Constitu tion to ensure such a result. We think it has the power now; but if the wisdom of tbe Nation thinks not, any remark from us ould be idle. We would a thousand times prefer a community of Turks for they believe the teachings of their Prophet, a ad would be sincere and honest. But these Mormons bave institued a system prompted by liceatious passion, and a desecration of tbe principles upon which alone society can exist and preserve the social virtues. They are more like a Congregation of Beasts., than a Society of meo and women. THE CATHOLICS IN THE UNITED STATES. From the "Metropolitan Catholic Almanac and Laity's Directory, for 1854," published in Balti more, we derive some important facts relative to the progress of Catholicism in the United States. The entire Catholic population of the United States, is said to be 1,632.600, in tho jurisdiction of various arch-diocesscs, as follows: Baltimore, 77 500; New York, 425,000; New Orleans. 222,500; Cincinnati!, 332,500; Oregon, 5000 ; San Francisco, 75,000; Nebraska, Ac, (Apostolic Vicar) 6,300. In these arch-diocesses, there are 41 diocesses, 1712 churches, 746 other stations, 1422 clergy men in ministry, 182 clergymen otherwise em ployed, 84 ecclesiastical institutions, 45 literary institutions for young men, 171 female religious institutions, 112 female academies, 131 charitable institutions The total of tbe Catholic popnla tiou is supposed to be understated, as the returns of many districts were incomplete. During 1853, there was an increase of 9 discesses, 1 archbishop, 5 bishops, 113 priests, and 167 churches. The number of colleges in the United States, under Catholic direction, is 24, and the theological seminaries number 29. with 4 preparatory sem inaries. There are also 24 periodicals publUhed in the United States, devoted to the spread of Ca tholicism, 20 of which are weekly issues. Apropos of the growth of Catholicism, we find in tbe last number of the London Times, an arti cle devoted to tbe increase of "Papacy," in which that paper mskes It appear by official report, tha, the whole number of Catholics in England and Wales, is less than 200,000. It says : It appears that shortly after the expnkion ot the Stuarts, tbe number of Papists in England and Wales was computed at 27,696. In 1767 another return was procured, and here the calculation gave 67,916, which figures, thirteen years later, were increased to 69 376. These seem to have been all the data brought before the compilers of the report for past years. At present, the actnsl number of 'sittings in Popish places of worship, (after adding an estimate for those making no re turns) is 186,111. Now, if we tike into considers tion tbe essentially un-English character of these communities in general, and the extent (e which the congregations are filled either with Irishmen or with foreigners from tbe various continental States, we may very safely put 150,000 as the sum total of tbe sittings required for : bona fide English Papists; nor should we, indeed, have ranch hesitation in reducing even this amount by fully one-third.

Of the 20 Senators sbsent or not voting, it is known from the speeches made by each, or by other information, that the following sre in favor of the bill, viz : Cass of Michigan. Pearcc (whig) of Maryland. Thompson of New Jersey. Toombs (Whig) of Georgia. Weller of California. Tbe following are known to be opposed to it. . Everett (whig) of Mass. Houston of Texas. Cooper (whig) of Pennsylvania. The other eleven may alle more or less doubt ful. We however infer that Mr. Clayton would rowdily vote for the bill, as bis principal objection have been removed by amendments adopted since his speech. The bill as it passed to be engresscd, will be much less objectionable to the North than it was originally. The paragraph relating to slavery and the Missouri Compromise, as amended stands thus : "That the Constitution and all laws of the Uni ted States which arc not locally inapplicable, shall have the same force and effect within the said Territory of Nebraska as elsewhere within the United States, except the 8th section of the act preparatory to the admission of Missouri into the Union, approved March 6, 1820 ; which being in consistent with the principle of non-intervention by Congress with slavery in the States and Terri tories, as recognized by the legislation of 1850 commonly caiiea me compromise measure, is hereby declared to be inoperative and void ; if being Ike tr'ie intent and meaning ef this act not to legislate slavery into any Territory or State, nor to exclude it therefrom, but to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own way, subject on ly to the Constitution of the United States. Pro vided, that nothing contained in this act shall be construed to revive or put in force any law dr regulation which may have existed prior to the act of the 6th March, 1820. either protecting, establishing, or abolishing Slavery. The Proviso at the close was moved by Mr. Barler, of North Carolina, shortly before the vote was taken on the engrossment, and was carried by a vote of 35 to 6, the nays being from the South. It effectually guards the bill against the presumption in favor of slavery, which might otherwise have been inferred from its legal exist ence in the territory prior to its purchase by the United States, under the Loasiana Treaty THE EMPRESS OF FRANCE A WOMAN. Of coarse she is a woman, bat we mean she has a true woman's heart. It will be recollected that a woman in male attire was discovered at work on one of tbe railroads in France, for the purpose of supporting a sick husband and four children. Tbe Empress, en learning the circum stance, Immediately requested to bo accurately informed of the details of tho affair, and , subse quently ordered the following letter to be address ed to tbe poor woman : Madame The Empress has read with peculiar interest the recital of tbe pious fraud which you made use of to support your sick husband and feed, your poor children. Deeply affected at this recital, her majesty im mediately conceived tbe idea of offering to take under her charge two of your children, and has ordered me to come to an understanding to that effect with lbe Prefect of the Drome. Tbe Em press is not ignorant that there, are virtues for which tbe exalted of the earth can find no re ward, but she desires to give yon a proof of tbe sentiments with which your conduct has inspired her; she wishes, Madame, that yon should know that her personal sympathy is- acquired to the devoted wife and to the courageous mother of a family. The poor woman, whose name Is Heb shen, having selected her eldest girl ana eldest boy to be placed under tbe patronage of the Em press, suitable arrangements have been made for the accomplishment of her Majesty's philanthrop ic intentions.

Quite unexpectedly to every body, the jury fa the case of George A. Gardiner, thia morning entered tbe cowt room a- I bout half past eteyeno'cofck with a tcrdkt. .TLbe Parkersburg, Vsw Gazette, of the 14th of prisoner was seated in the court room, and as the jury took their places he peered scrutinizlagly in to their faces, as if to elicit one favorable indica tion. Disappointed In this, a death-like paleness spread over his features ; mortification and despair appeared to paralyse his" whole system. The ver dict was gmlHy. After the verdict was announced, Mr. Banfley, one of the' counsel for the defence, statedjthat the counsel had prepared to file a bill of exceptions, and they would prefer to have judgment pro nounced immediately. Dr. George A. Gardiner was then called upon to stand up and receive the sentence of tbe law ; which Judge Crawford pronunced as follows: "You have been convicted by a jury of your country of the crime of false swearing, touching the expenditure of public money, and in support of x claim against the United States. Perjury, in its nature and general sense, strikes at the root of all the securities which society is bound to extend to and maintain around, the citizen. The particu lar offence charged upon yon, and upon which th jury have passed, whether considered in re ference to the complicated plot by which its ob jects were consummated, or to the amount of money obtained from the Treasury on the award of the commisssoners appointed to decide upon the claims under the treaty with Mexico of February, 1848, is one of unusual enormity. "To address such observation, as must seem to every man who knows the circumstances that sur rounded you, to a person of your conceeded ability it would be useless or vain unless, if they have arisen in your own mind ; vain, if they have not. From your fate others should learn, that no plan, however remote its origin, with whatever forecast laid, however stealthily or adroitly pursued for years, and at length executed, or with whatever success for a time attended, can be so cunningly devised as to escape detection. The unexampled ingenuity, or the net-work spread out on this trial, and the fact that it has been exposed at tbe last stage, ought not to fail of a beneficial effect in convincing all men that if they will trample on laws, human and divine, they shall suffer for it. The sentence of the Court is, that you suffer in the penitentiary for the-District of. Columba im prisonment and labor for the period of ten years.1' After the sentence was pronounced the prisoner was taken to the jail in custody of the proper offi cer. Mr. Bradley, tbe prisoner's counsel, was pre sent and, having been seated, some conversation took place between them. Gardiner then took a glass of water and signified his readiness to go to jail. Mr. Smith, the warden of the jail, and Mr. Wilson, bailiff of the court, then accompainied him over. In entering the guard room, Mr. Gar diner took a chair, and in about five minutes was seized with a severe fit, and fell to the ground, cutting his head. Physicians were soon sent for, and he soon recovered. Several fits in quick succession followed. He was cupped, and every remedy used without effect. During these suf ferings Gardiner called Mr. Bradley to his side, told him he was dying, and that he died innocent. Gardiner died about three o'clock. This melan choly occurrence has shocked our citisens, and as this is closed we are waiting for Coroner Wood ward to convene a jury of inquest, and tbe physi cians are preparing to hold a post-mortem axami- nation on the body. The court, after sentencing Gardiner, adjourned until Monday next, when it commences a new term, and the spectators present cleared out. No more than half an hour elapsed between the ap pearance of the jury in the court and the final closing of the scene. Gardiner's counsel had filed a bill of exception before the District Court. Mt fSECOND DISPATCH. Particular ofQardlner's Dylug Hours. The Jury ef Inquest No Evidence as yet of the Poisoning Post-Mortem Examination to be Hade. Washington, March 3. 10 o'clock, P. M. It appears that this morning Gardiner knew that the jury had stood ten opposed to him and two in fa vor of him ; but their subsequent delay created high hopes in him of final and continued disa greement. He was cheerful, and having dressed himself neatly and handsome, proceeded to the court room. The first emotion he has ever evinced during the trial was when the jury came into the guard room. He then took a chair, drew up to the table, and took out of bis pocket the let ters which he destroyed. He then wrote a letter", put it in his pocket, and commenced another, fell back, cutting the side of his head against the desk. Gardiner immediately called for water and then for brandy. There being none, be drew from his pocket a quarter dollar, and Dr. Birch sent a mes senger for tome. On the return of the messenger, Gardiner reviving, refused the brandy. He then gave his brother the letters, and others the con tents of his pockets. Shortly after convulsions commenced. Gardiner and his brother wished no physician, becanwj, as they stated, he was sub ject to convulsions. Several physicians came, however, and used every means for bis relief, but without avail. Tbe jury of inquest examined several witnesses in the presence of tbe District Attorney and tbe counsel on both sides; but there was no evidence that he poisoned himself, as had been generally supposed. The inquest adjourned until to-morrow morn ing, when a post mortem examination will be hld. The public opinion is at this time very con fident that he poisoned himself. Crowds sur rounded the jail until dark, and there is consi derable excitement on every hand. nis counsel's exceptions to the bill were con tained in twenty-nine counts. The general opin ion is that the Circuit Court would have granted a new trial. Whilst the jury of inquest was sitting, Patrick Coins was committed by Squire Drury, on the charge of firing a bouse in tbe first ward. Offi cers Allen and Keese arrested Jas. Levis for a ho 4iog Tho. Hurley in the face, on English Hill. Magistrate Goddard committed binT for tri al. M. NATURE OF THE CHOLERA POISON. Mr. Simon, the Medical Officer of Health for the city of London, has recently published his annual report, which contains many facta in re gard to the nature of tbe cholera poison. In re lation to the operation of the disease, the report speaks aa follows: "That which seems to have come to na from tbe East is not itself a poison, so much as it is a test and touchstone of poison. Whatever in its nature it may be, thlaat least We-'f knov of - its operation: Past millions of scattered population it moves Innocuous: through the unpolluted at. mospbere f cleanly districts I migrates aflentry without blow that which It can kindle ioto poison lies not there.

' ; .S SHOCKING AFFAIR February, says one of the most Unhappy circum stances which has ever come to our notice, occur red on Bond's creek in Ritchie county, on the evening of Tuesday, 1 4th nit, which resulted Jn the death or a man by tbe name of John S. Mill hone by the hand of his own father-in law. It was brought about by a family difficulty, the facts of which, as near as we can obtain them, are as follows: Sometime since. Millhone, who is married to a daughter of Mr. Richard Ankrum, by whom he was killed, went to tho east to purchase goods, and while there courted a woman and promised to marry her. After bis return home, the woman wrote to him, pressing the fulfilment of his pro mise; which letter, coming into his wife's posses sion, caused her to leave bis houe, with her children, and remove to the home of her father. This greatly exasperated Millhone who swore ven geance agsinst both his wife snd her mother, which he several times endeavored lo execut". On one occasion, a short time before his death, he assaulLd and best Mrs. Aukrum, his mother- in-law, and injured her so as to confine her to her bed. On the evening of his death, he went to tbe bouse of Mr. Ankrnm. and Vbile there a f quarrel was raised between himself and his wifo. when he struck her to tbe floor with his fist, and otbeiwise misused her. Mr. Ankrum then inter fered, and several blows were interchanged, which ended In Mr. Ankrum stabbing Millhone to the heart, causing death almost instantly. A coroner's jury was ctlled, which returned a ver dict of "justifiable homicide." On the following day Mr. Ankrum delivered himself up to the au thorities, and was released on bail, to appear be fore an examining court, to be held at Harrisvjlle on Wednesday lat. The dccMon of tho court has net at this time been received by us. REPRESENTATIVES FROM NEBRASKA. A number of Indians, chief from Nebraska, have arrived at Washington, in charge of Major Gate wood. They are said to be tall, good looking In dians, of light complexion, and respectability dress ed, according to the red man's idea, some wearing red, some blue, and other colored blankets, heavy ear-bobs, head dresses, necklaces of the claws of the claws of the grizzly bear, and such like adorn" tnents. Like some of our white ladies, they also use paint. Their visit to Washington is at the in stance of the government to see about the sale of their lands to the United States, which, w hen the tribes were first visited in Nebraska by the Com missioner last summer, they were averse to doing. It may be that they will be able to give Congress some light upon the "Nebraska Question," w hich is exciting so much debate. Among the Indians west of Missouri and Iowa are to ho found some educated men, and others who are able by the cultivation of the soil to subsist themselves. A mong them, too, are some professors of religion. But the mass of the Indian tribes are indolent and intemperate, which suggests the idea of colonizing them under some one government, and teaching them the arts of peace. The names of the newly arrived "representatives" are as follows. Otto Chiefs. Buffalo Chief ; Kec-ca-poo ; Big Soldier. Medicine House. Interpreter, Lewis Barnard. Missouri Chief Missouri Chief; Ak-ke-tah White Water. Interpreter, Lewis Barnard. Omahah Chiefs. Logan Fontanel la ; Joseph La flesh ; Village- Maker. Standing Kaw k ; Lrttle Chief ; Wo-wo-kecga ; Yellow Smoke. Interpre ter Lewis Sonisee. The "distinguished visiters" had a formal inter views Thursday with the ComuiisHouer of Indian Affairs, in the presence of a number of ladies and gentleman. Several of the Chiefs responded, through an interpreter, to an address of the Com musioners, expressing their satisfaction afely reaching Washington, their desire to settle their Dusincss to tue satisfaction oi an hands, and pro mising to adhere to the dress of the whites. The Star says: "Medicine House," also spoke, attributing to the President ffle fine state of the I0112 road thev had traveled to Washington, said his power must be like that of the Supreme Being. This last men tioned chief made a very amusing and intelligent speech. The Big Soldier, an Otto, also made a speech saying that all the whites they had met on the road had conferred favors on them, as far as possible One of the Missouri chiefs who spoke is 85 years of age, and has been in Washington before. ' Mr. Logan Fontanella, the head chief of the Onio has, a half-breed, is evidently as civilised as sny half breed of any tribe heretofore coming to Washington. Indeed, he is essentially a white in appearance, manners, and tbe attainments of civilization. In his speech, he complained that his tribe was being cooped up by the white settle ments. THE BUCCANEERS L LOWER CALIFORNIA. The United States sloop-of-war Portsmouth was expected to sail from San Francisco on the 2d inst., accompanied by a U. States mail stea mer, on a cruise along the coast of Lower Cali fornia, to arrest, as far as tbe power of the Gene ral Government ean be exercised, any violation of the integrity of the Mexican territory by men claiming to be American citizens. Accounts from Ensenda to tbe 17th of January state that the freebooters remained in their camp there, apparently waiting for reinforcements, which they were not likely to receive, The news of tbe orders of the Government had not arrived. A number of fillibustcrs bad deserted and arrived at San Diego. They say that the liberators re ceive but one biscuit a day, and the supply, even at that rate, is fast diminishing, and they would soon be compelled to purchase or take lire stock or to import provisions. President Walker has issued a decree constituting Sonora a part of his dominion. The fillibustcrs have been busy break ing wild horses, drying beef, and making other preparations for a march across toward Sonora. Their departure from Eneenada, it is said, will be hastened by the announcement that the Ports mouth will soon be after them. The latest and. apparently most reliable accounts state that they take the property of the rancheros in the neigh borhood, and the pay is Sonora scrip. A San Diego Herald, extra, contains various proclama tions of the self-styled Presidenl Walker, in which Sonora is declared a part of the new Republic. From the Raleigh Standard of Saturday.

On examina tion the rumor was found to be but too well foun ded in fact. Mr. Cooper and family reside, in the rear of Masonic Hall. For some weeks past Mrs Coop er has been affected with an apprehension that there was a conspiracy to kill her, and so fully had the idea taken possession of her, that she. became incapable of at tending" to -the Various household duties. Yesterday morning Mrs. C. brought the axe used for cutting wood for the Hall into the honset and during the absence of Mr. Cooper, who was called ont on business, she locfeed one of the doors in the kitchen and then attacked her daugh ter, a young woman of about 20 years of age, with the axe. The latter warded thn full force of the brow off, bnt a frightful wound was never theless inflicted on her temple. She ttrnggled with her mother, but to no avail, as the mother had bcemc frantic. The daughter sprang to the door which had been locked, closely followed by her mother. Her situation thrn became desperate, but by good f:,r(v.Dc. ar.otLcr door leading to the alley was unlocked, throngh which she ran screaming to Fifth strict. Mr. Cooper heariug the alarm ran nto the house, just as his wife had ii.flictetl a terrible gabh with a razor across her throat. Medical as.-istanco was immediately called in. but wo understand the injury will prove mortal though she was still alive hist evening. All the veins and arteries are severed, except the jugular vein, which is untouched. The Jjurnal of yesterday states: The recent washing up of tho South Carolina Road and the oveiflow of the Watcrec trestle work, caused, as before stated, material delay ii the transportation of passengers aud the mails South of Suraterville. In consequence of these unavoidable accidents the steamer Gladiator, Oapt.

HiRTroBD, March 2 At two o'clock to-day the new steam boiler in Fales & Gray's factory ex ploded, destroying the b!nckmith shop and en gine room, and tiariiy tliaucripg 1 tie main ouiiii- ing. O'er 100 persons wepc in that part of the building. The explosion was terrific, wrenching the powerful machinery, breaking the timbers and prostrating the walls and roof. The work men were buried beneath the ruins. The citizens were quickly 00 the spot to rescue the sufferers nine of whom were instantly killed, and seven bave inco died. Many others are badly injured, some of whom will die. Tho boiler was a uew one of 60 horse power, and bnilt in the best man ner. Over three hundred persons were employed in the whole building, and those killed were chief ly employed in the blackmith shop. The scene was heart-rending-. Hundreds of the wives and children of the workmen rushed to the spot, venting their grief in tears and piteous cries The excitement spread to the schools in the South District, attended by the children of the work men, who were at once dismissed in consequence of their distress. The victims were mutilated and in some instances scarcely recognizable. At 5 o'clock every one had been extricated from the ruins, and it is supposed that the woun ded will exceed 50. A coroner's jury was immediately summoned and proceeded to investigate the disaster. The estimated loss of the building and machinery is 30,000. IMPORTANT, IF TUUE. A Paris correspondent of the New York Times mentions the following very remarkable discov ery : " A very remarkable discovery was announced to the Academy of Sciences by M.Dumas in its ' last sitting. He stated that M. Saint-Clair Deville had succeeded in obtaining from clay a metal as white and brilliant as silver, as malleable as gold and as light as glass. It is fusible at a moderate temKTature. Air and damp do not affect this metal, which is called aluminium ; it retains its brilliancy, snd is not affected by nitric or sulphu ric acid, either strong or diluted, if the tempera ture be not raised. It is only dissolved by vry hot chlorhydric aci i. Several specimens of this metal were exhibited to the Academy, and on the proposition of Baron Thenard, it was voted unanimously that a sufficient snm should be plac ced at the disosal of M. Saint-Clair Devillo to nablu him to make experiments on a large scale.' Nebraska Bill. An old gentleman living in the upper section of the, city, and who keeps a regular file of the daily papers and manages to be always a month behind in his news, because of his being a slow reader, was much astonished at hear ing every body speaking of a Nebraska Bill. Meeting a friend yesterday, he put the following question to him : "Who is this Nebarska Bill that they are talk ing so much about 1" ' Why, don't you know," replied his friend. "No." "Why, I thought everybody knew him. It is Bill Nebraska, the pork merchant on the warf."
