4 VOLUME XI NUMBER 36. WILMINGTON, N. Co SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 7, 1856. WHOLE NUMBER 1291 id ftH if I V III MISCELLANY. CONGRESS. MR. BROOK'S LETTER. Senate, Monday, June 2, 1856 A letter was read from the President of the Senate, requesting Mr. Stuart to preside for the day, and Mr. S. took the chair. A message was received from the Presi dent of the United States, transmitting, in compliance with a resolution of the 17th January last, a further answer respecting correspondence touching the construction and purport of the convention between the United States and Great Britain on the 19th April, 1850; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations and ordered to be printed., The presiding officer presented the fol lowing letter from the Hon. P. S. Brooks, of the House of Representatives : . House op Representatives, May 29. Sir: I have seen in the public journals this morning the report of the committee of the Senate to whom was referred a res olution of the Senate directing an inquiry into an assault made by me on the 22nd instant on a Senator from Massachusetts. It is with unfeigned regret I find in the report that what 1 had intended only as a redress of a personal wrong had been con strued into or must necessarily be held as t breach of privilege of the Senate. Whilst making a full and explicit dis claimer of any such design or purpose, I ask leave to say that, for the occasion, con Bideringmyself only as a gentleman in so ciety, and under no official restraint as a member of the House of Representatives, I did not avert to or consider there was any alternative-restraint imposed upon me by reason that the offence came from a mem ber of the Senate. I had read attentively and carefully the speech delivered in the Senate on the 19th and 20ih inst. by the Senator from Massa chusetts, and found therein language which I regarded -as unjustly reflecting not only upon the history and character of South Carolina,.but also upon a friend and relative. To such language I thought I had a right to take exception under the cir cumstances, the Senator from South Caro lina, who was affected by these remarks, being absent from the Senate and the city. I had reason to believe that the Senator from Massachusetts did not acknowledge that personal responsibility for wrongs in personal deportment which would have caved me the painful necessity of the col lision which I sought, and in my judg ment, therefore, I had no alternative but to act as I did. That the assault was made in the Sen ate chamber "was caused only by the fact that, after a careful search elsewhere on the previous as well as on the same day, the offender could not be found outside the walls of the Senate chamber, and the Sen ate had adjourned for more than an hour previous to the assault. I submit the foregoing statement from the high respect I have for the Senate of the United States, and ask that it may be received as a full disclaimer of any design or purpose to infract its privileges or to off end its dig-nity. I cheerfully add, that, should the facts, as reported by the com mittee of the Senate, be nevertheless nec essarily considered as a conclusion of law, my earnest desire is to atone for it, as far as may be,'by this unhesitating and unqua lified apology. Asking that you will oblige me by com- J mumcating this to the senate as its presid ing officer, r have the honor to remain, sir with j;reat respect, jourobedient servant, P. S. BROOKS. Hon. J. D. BRIGHT, President of the Senate. - After some debate the Letter was laid on the table and ordered to be printed. : BUTTER PACKING. When kept for home use only, earthen or stone ware vessels are absolutely the bestr When designed for transportation to distant markets it becomes necessary" to use wooden ' vessels. Shippers to California pack butter in small casks or firkins, and these are put into larger ones, with brine, charcoal, or some other sub stance, filled in between the outer and in jlercask. Butter casks should always be made of perfectly seasoned timber, and te watertight. There is so much danger of flavor from the wood that we have recommended heating the inside of the butter- tubs nearly to charring, and then soaking them in a strong brine for a few hours or days- The heating can be dope by placing them over a small coal furnace, or by kindling a fire of sha vings on the inside. No harm will be done if the entire inside is charred. The aromatic sap of the wood will, by this means, be destroyed, and the tubs will be all the more durable. After bur ning, the inside should, of course, be scraped entirely clean. The importance of this recommendation will be appre ciated when we state that one-half of all the butter carried to market in this country is more or less changed in flavor by the packing tubs. In putting down the butter, let it be thoroughly pressed together, tQs free it from confined air, and then let its surface be kept as much as possible from access of air. If the tubs or firkins can be headed up so much the better. We have kept butter in a tub unchanged for an entire year by covering it with a strong brine. We have thus thrown out a few hints, whch are, probably, all well known to good butter makers, but we write not for tmch especially. We may sum up the whole matter in a few words cleanliness, temperature,and thorough . - - w mi . working ot butter, ine great points in butter-making are, churning at 50 to 55, working but the casein (butter milk) and working in the salt. Those who have a thermometer and strong arms; - have the most essential imple ments for making good butter. tf NATCHEZ UNDERT THE HILL" Creen, the "Reformed Gambler," in a letter to the New York Times, gives the following horrible picture of that eminently bad place, " Natchez under the Hill:" "When I first knew Natchez under the HUI,' it was at the "height of its fa mous notoriety. 1 do not suppose that Londoner Paris, or New York, could have found its parallel in wickedness certainly it had no equal on this con tinent. Everv house, I think without exception, was occupied by gamblers and prostitutes, by robbers and murder ers. A description of a single house will illustrate. On the ground floor, the front room was used for drinking and dancing. In this room the vilest of both the sexes held high revel. Faro banks were uightly crowded by excited players, and the gamblers never failed to reap rich harvests for what their game could not accomplish, their pistols and bowie-knives could. Cock-fiights dog-fights and other similar brutal spo.ts, were usually conducted in-a separate apartment ill the rear of the gambling room ; while the upper portion of the house was- occupied by aban doned women and their more dissolute companions. Such was Natchez when the gamblers had possession of it ; it is not, therefore, surprising that robbery and murder, and all the rankest offences in the darkest catalogue of crime, were of daily occurrence in that place of world-wide notoriety. It was in one of the houses I have described that 1 first saw Pat Hearne, now of New York. Many tough s:oiies of this notoiious place, as it existed in its palmy days, are told by the river men. An old sta ger related to us the following : "The town was at the height of its infamous notoriety. Almost its only in habitants were gambleis, cut-throats, and prostitutes. It was hardly consid ered safe for a stranger to go ashore unless armed to the teeth and accom panied by a squad of dare-devils. Rob beries and assassinations were of daily almost hourly occurrence. Many of the river captains were in league with the devils who ruled it, while others were held in the most slavish fear. "A different man, however, was Cap tain L . He teared neither man nor devil. His boat was one of the larg est and his crew the most hardy and chivalrous, honorable, and generous and fearless on the Mississippi. Brave chi- valorous, honorable, and generous to a fault, he considered his boat a castle, and all on board as under his patronage and protection. Was a passenger rob bed, he gave himspli no rest until the monev was sestored, or the thief detect ed. Did a blackles come aboard, he was put ashore the moment he evinced bad conduct. "During a downward trip the boat of Captain L had occasion to touch at 'Natchez under the Hut to take in some freight. One of the passengers, who lounged into one of the hells in the immediate viciuity of the store, was robbed of a large sum of money. The moment he discovered his loss, he rush ed to the Captain and told his story. The later apparently paid no attention, but waited until the freight had been all transferred. He then coolly walked up to the door of the 'hell' aforesaid, and demanded the delivery of the stolen money. Of course his demand was disregarded, and himself threatened with a pistoling if he didn't go about his business. Goine on board his boat, he ordered all hands to arm themselves and come ashore. At the same time he di rected an immense cable chain, used for anchoring and other purposes, to be carried ashore, and wound about the tenement in which the thieves were, and secured, of course at both-ends, to the boat. This done, the Captain arm ed to the teeth, and accompanied by the crew, approached the door of the 'hell,' arid once more - demanded the stolen money ; but was again denied.- He then said he would give the robbers nve minutes to make up their minds, and if at that time the money was nbt brofight on board, he would drag the house into the river, and take it to New Orleans with him. Accompanied by his men, he then went on board and ordered up steam. Still the thieves did not appear ; and, as the time wasjust expiring, the engine was put in motion the cable made taut, and the thieves' tenement subjected to a strain that made every stick of timber in it groan. An other moment, it would have been drag ged headlong into the river, blacklegs and all, when oue of the fraternity rush ed on board the boat with the money,, The cable was unloosed, the Captain wickedly touched his hat in adien to the discomfited thieves, and the noble steamer disappeared behind the jutting bluffs with a triumphant snort."' Captain L often touched at Natchez uuder the JluT after that, but the blacklegs always gave him a wide berth. FATAL COLLISION ON LAKE ERIE. . On Friday week, a collision, took place off Long Point, on Lake Erie, between the propeller Cataract, from Toledo, Ohio, bound to Buffalo, N. Y., and the brig Ox ford, from Oswego, N. Y., for the upper lakes. The brig sunk in three minutes, and the captain, his wife, mate and two deck hands were drowned. The propeller received but trifling damage, and" arrived safely at Buffalo.- SLAVERT IN TRE METHODIST GENERAL CONFERENCE. In the General Conference of the Meth odist church at Indianapolis, the committee on slavery have made a report, iil which- article 1st declares sjavery a sinful "inas much as persons may be brought into the legal relation of slaveholder involuntarily by purchasing slaves in order to free them, therefore the merely legal relation shall not be considered of itself sufficient to exclude a person whw may thus sustain it from the fellowship of the church. -"Article 2. Whenever a member of our church, by any means, becomes the owner ef a slave, it shall be the duty of the preach er in charge to call together a committee, of at least three members, who shall inves tigate the case, and determine the time in which said slave shall be freed; and on bis refusal or neglect to abide by the decision of said committee, he shall be dealt with as in the case of immorality." DIVORCED. The wife of James H. Lane, the perse cuted hero and martyr of abolitionism 'ob tained a divorce from her husband, at the late term of the Dearborn (Ind.,) Circuit Court, on the ground of abandonment, de sertion, and other legal causes. She avers that he sent her home from Kansas, among strangers, unprovided for, unprotected, and without money to pay her travelling ex penses. She is the mother of several of hia children, and has been for some time past supporting herself by keeping a boarding-house. A SURE REMEDY FOR A FELON. It is said by somebody, who pretends to know all about it, that the following is a sure remedy for a felon : "Take a pint of common soft soap, and stir in air-slacked lime till it is of the con sistency of glazer's putty. Make a "leath er thimble," fill it with this composition, and insert the finger therein. Change this composition once in twenty minutes, and a cure is certain." We happen to know that the above is a sure remedy, and recommend it to any who may be troubled with that disagreeable ail ment. Buffalo Adv. AN ARTIST. At the Broadway Theatre, the other evening, one gentleman pointed out a dan dified individual to his friend as a sculp tor. 'What,' said his friend, 'such a looking chap as that a scluptor 1 Surely you must be mistaken.' 'He may not be the kind of one you mean,' said the informant, "but I know that he chiseled a tailor out of a suit of clothes last week.'

Caroline Howard, (says the St. Louis Sun of the 27th of May), the wife of How ard who was put on the chain gang for four months last week, for pocket picking, though only sixteen, evinces toward her husband a touching fidelity. At the time Howard was condemned, she implored Judge Pruden to send her to jail with him. Failing to obtain that favor, she has taken ioJgings at a house in the jail yard, that she may have an opportunity morning and evening, ot exenanging a iew woras oi affection with the object ot her solici tude.

GEO. HOUS JVH. Aprf. 8. CIRCULAR. A BOOK FOR EVERY SOUTHERN METHODIST Early in 1856, probably in the month of Febru ary, I expect to publish a new work to the partic ular features of which I beg leave to call your at tention. The Annals of Southern Methodism,for 1855, will be a 12 mo. volume of not less than 360 pages, well printed, from stereotype plates, upon good paper. It will contain alt available statistics In every department of the operations of the METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOUTH. The design embraces the Plan of Episcopal visi tation; accounts of the sessions of all the Confer ences held in 1S55; the appointments, numbers, &c; a summary of all reported revivals, notices of the dedication of new Churches; reports of College Commencements, with all else connected wlthour educational movements; a resume of our Mission ary operations, embracing whatever seems of gene ral Interest in that department ; the movements of the Tract and Sunday School Societies ; whatever appertains to oar publishing interests, with an nouncements of all New Bcoks published by our Concern, or written by Hoitihern Methodists ; what the Church is doing for the instruction rf Slaves Historical and Biographical Essays; interesting personal reminiscences; and a miscellany of im portant facts and incidents. THE " ANNALS." It is believed, will be a fair and full daguerreotype of the progress of Southern Methodism. it will occur to you it once, that if 1 have suc ceeded in preparing this volume with any reasona ble amount of skill, it will not only be a very agree able book for present reading, but that every year will add to its value as showing the posture of Sou thern Methodism at His particular juncture of its history.- THIS DIGEST Will be specially Valiable as a Book of reference. To whatever question of general interest may arise in regard to the events of 1855, it is hoped that a satisfactory answer will be found in the Annals. While it is believed that the Ministers in our Church wiU desire cpies as soon as they can be obtained, I have paid regard to the what I suppos ed the tastes of general readers. The older mem bers of the Church will find sketches that carry, them back to their earlier compeers, as in this de partment 1 have not 'estricted myself to the histo ry of the year, but have collected whatever has ap peared during the year, which, as history and biog raphy, preserves the memoirs of the olden lime, and of the early men of Southern Methodism. The work will be published at One Dollar a copy. Those Who subscribe in advance, shall receive the first copies issued from the press. A gold dollar pasted in a letter caa be sent securely and is pref erable to billsof distint Hanks. Those of the banks in North and South Cnrelina will be as good asgold. In return a copy will be sent well wrapped and pre paid. My address is Goldfboro', N. C. CHARLES F. DEEMS. Dec. 29. I22-lm - THE NORTH CAROLINA MUTUAL LIFE IXSURAKCECOMP'V, . RALEIGH, N. C.

PROSPECTUS OP THE " SOUTHERN SENTINEL," A Democratic and Miscellaneous Journal, to be published weekly, at Wilson, N. C. THE existing condition of political parties, and of pariizan strife, naturally suggests the estab lishing of such, a journal as the "Southern Senti nel'' proposes to become The present, indeed, is a crisis in our political history, never witnessed be fore. The Constitution has ben invaded ; the laws trampled and spat upon ; religious liberty assailed ; ballot boxes broken and burnt ; the landmarks of our political ancestry partially effaced ; the wis dom -derived from a time-honored experience un seated; strange and questionable men have been puskedlmo high positions; and fanaticism, unchai ned from its axe and its faggot piles in the North, is heard to howl among us in the South. These evils, sofar as it humble abilities shall serve, THE SOUTHERN SENTINEL Will endeavor to arrest. It will endeavor to ineul catea reverence for the laws as they exist, and for the Constitution, as it has been interpreted by the wise men of the past and by the Fathers of the Democratic failh. It will defend not only political but BrLiGious liberty, and will do battle against ev ery political hereby that may appear, whcthei hatched in caves orculverts, or open convention. The Sentinel will also, to relieve the monotony of politics, devote space to literary topics, original and selected, as well as t miscellaneous subjects, which shall include Agricultural and the latest Com mercialintelligence. In brief, no efforts nor ex penses will be spared to make the Sentinel one ol the most useful and efficient journals in the South- The first number of the Sentinel will be issued about the first of the next month, and senr to sub scribers at the ra of $2 per annum : $2 50 at the end of six months, and S3 at the end of the year.

Many troubled with ringing in the ears and hea4 when asleep, great nervouansss, being alarmed st sudden sounds, and bashfuiness. with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of mind, wefe cured Immediately. A CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided and imprudent votary of pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of this painful disease, It too often happens thai enill-rlcrr-ed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters him from applying lo those who, from education and respectability, can alone befriend him, delay ing till the constitutional symptoms of this horrid aisease maxe tneir appearance, suc h ss ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, nociural pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight, deafners, nodes on the shin bones and arms, blotches on the hesd, face and extremities, progressing with frlphtlul ro pldity, till at last the palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall in, and the victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object ofconinilaJ serstion.till death puts a period lo his dreadful tut fcrings, by sending him to "that bourne from whence no traveller returns." To such therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges himself to preserve the moat inviolable sccrety; and, from his extensive prac tice in the first Hospitals of Europe and Amerieu, hecan confidently recommend a safe and stieedy cure to the unfortuno'e vietim of this horrid dis ease.
