The winds are abroad to day, Ove- the hill-tops flying Shonting aloud in their stormy play, Blast unto blast replying; Bowing the woods 'neath their tyrant sway, The stubborn and strong defying. They have taken the old oak tree, . Whose gnarled bows unbending, Have seen a thousand tempests flee, And mock their vaiin contending They have dashed him to earth in their savag glee. His mighty toots uprending. And away and away they fly, Stern 'desolttion's minions, - They piei 'he mists that around them lie, With keen. sky-clcaving pinions; They scatter ' ! wretched clouds on high, From the great sun's blue dominions. Ah ! old ocean toars, As he hears their fir-off shrieking, And his billowy legions forth lie pours, As if to meet their seeking; While the cavern echoes from his shores, Gives back his stormy speaking.

Whether accidcntial or intentional, we will not say, but it Eo happens that near ly every year, jusi as our planters are pre paring to put their crop in the ground, there is a marked itmproernent in prices on the other side of the water.

In the Senate, Mr. Bentoi: obtaiped leave to withdraw the Texas Annexatiou bill int-roduced by him .sone weeks ago, and substit'tite in lieu thereof another bill. The new bill provides that a State formed from the Territory shall be adinitted so soon as Commissioners frem this Govern bennt, ana-that oTTexa-, shall have agreed upon the terms thereof. The remainder of the Territory to be admitted on a simi lar plan. The terms agreed on by'the joint Commission - to be decided u'pon by Congress, either by treaty or otherwise, as the Presidept shall determine. The bill appropriates $100,000 to defray the neces sary expense of the Commission, &c. Mr. Beiton, after some remarks, ex pressed a hope that this .bill might lie oil the table 1 until the general debate should cold tmece. Mr. Berrien moved "its reference to the Committee.on Foreign Relations. -This was strenuously opposed 'by Mes. srs. Bentop, Allen-& others, on the ground that inasmuch as the Committee have reported against any plan of annexation, they would also report algainst this bill. Finally, the tontion to refer was lost by one yote-yeai 22, nays 2 . The bill was then read twice and suf fered to lie on the table until the report made yesterday shall be called up. Owing to the indisposition of Mr. Archer it is supposed the report will not be considered before Tuesday. This bill of Mr. Beriton is looked upon by the oppon'ents of annexation, with riore favor.than any pre'ious proposition. Mr. Evans, from the Finance Commit mittee, reported back the post office, pei sion and fortification appropriation bills. The remainder of the day was devoted to the consideration of Mr. lerrick's Post Office bill. In the.louse to-day, the consideration of the bill to reduce the price of the public lands,' was restimed, and the debate con tinued till two o'clock. The Committees then rose and reported, whercon the bill was by a vote of yeas 103, was laid on the table. So there is an end of it for the. pre sent session. The House then went into. Committee and considered the Indian Appropriation bill. No definite action was had thereon. Feb. 6. ..... .r' "'" ~~~E*-&ufr4" Gmy4 is the new Texas Bill of Mr. Bentun. The plan of leaving all the knotty ques tions-to be settled by a joint..commission, is thought bY ny to be the best that could under existing circumstances be de vised. There is a strong feeling against it in the House, but I presume rather than lose-the measure, a majority will be found to accept this scheme. : You will perceive that the "Globe" heartily endorses it. The following is a copy of the bill: -- - "Be it enacted, etc., That the State to be formed out of the present Republic of Texas, wi*It suitable extent eind bounda ries, aid vith t wo Representatives in Con gress until the next apportionment of rep resentation, shall be admitted into the Union by virtue of this act, on ani eqnl footing with 'the'existing -States, as soonl as the terms and conditions of such ad missions, -and the cession of the remaining Texan Territory to the tuited States, shall be agreed upon by the Governments of Texas and the United States. Sec. 2- And he it further enacted, That the sum of $100,000 be and n're hIereby appropratcd. to defray the expenses of missions and negotiations, etc., to agree upon the terms of said admission anJ ces sion, either by treaty, to be submitted to the Setnate, or by arieles to be submitted to the two llouses of Congreas, as the Pr sideut may direct. In the d-Senate, this morning. after the Lpresentation of Petitions, Mr. Dayton re ported hack the bill providing fordistribu tion among the States, the reports an~d de eiins .of the Supreme 'Cou'rt. After thin disposal of some trifling mat ters,-the .consideration of the' Post Oflice Bill wvas resumed. The debate continued to asvery late hour. iIn the Honse, nearly the whole dav w-as occuliied by .the c~onsideratipn of thle In dian Appropriation Bill in Committee of the Whole. - .. During the discussion, Mr. -Geddings thotught proper to repeat his speech rela tiveto the.Florida Negroes, and on slavery in- gener~al. Mr. Black, of Georgia, replied, and in ayvery sever-e manner, denouncing Mir. G. as a man without character, and on wvhom, no gentleman could even -look without being defiled, etc. He intimated that Mr. 'G. was a fit companion -for Toriey, now in the Maryland Penitentiary, and e'char ged him wvith having itmposed ott the - House, by relating false -slavery stories for the purpose of exciting sympathy. He also alleged that Mr-.G. on one occasion cheated 'the Governmenj by sending off'a calico frock in the shape of a public docu ment. Mr. Geddings rejoined in equally strong language, and denied the charges. He de sired the ?entleman to understand that if he, Mr. G., was humble and unassuming, he was no coward, and was not sent-here wvith a craven hieart. He .was proceeding wvith some very warm language, when Mr. Black said "if you will repeat that out of thme House, I will knock you down." Mr. B. then attempted to strike Mr. G. with a cane, but was held back by Mr. Hammet. Wben Mr. Geddings concluded, the. Committee rose and reported the bill. It was then read a third timean pnass...

A ntmberofrunimportant matters havn ii; been disposed of, -the considetation of the post office bill was, resumed. At a- late hour, after a warm discussion on various amendments, the bifl 'wii or; dered to be engrossed. As tIere is a& chance of its passage in the House, bei littlo interest is.felt n it. Mr. -Benton is getting somei h tdki *s. fromf -tho- reigr4-a !t-med '.anjeat ioh. H is bill is derouuced as insidious, treach' erous, &c. : The - Madisonian 'calls it "an amputated vermin, the spawn of a conglo. meration of defection."' In the House, a resolution was adopted appointing the 12th of the -present month as the day for counting the' Presidentiat votcl. Mr. Simpson, from tlie Naval Commit tee. reported a hill in favor of attaching Rnub's Safety Valves to the boilers of five of the public steam vessels. The bill was accompanied by a very interesting report, shewing the necessity df some better se4 curity for the lives 'of persons' on board steam vessels. A bill was reported making appropria, tion for the erection of an Institution as 'a retreat for dilsatbled soldiers, siimilar to the Chelsea Hospital in England. The [louse then wen't into-Committee and disposed of about a hundred bills out of the private calendar. Among the'memorials presented was' one from ttie American-Indian Alission-Ai sociation, asking the adoption ofiea'ures for'the permanent Welfare of the-Indiati tribes. The memorial, among nther diat ters, states "'that it is believed, notiv'ith standing the great diminution of numbers, there arc yet .upwards 'of four millions of the aboriginal race in North A'trel-iea. 'Al the tribes have 'had some intercobree: with white men, and.. nearly all ~are perishing by eauises which can only be removed by' civilization. Whatever may be gainful in the history of the past, it is an interesting fact, that 'the location of about twerty tribes, or parts of tribis, wVest of the States of Missouri and Arkansas, in' whdt they esteem a country of their owvn, presents'a - :heerinig exeeption to .the gloom which has hitherto obsured the red man's'atmospihere.' The tribes whlich were so far advanceirin civilization as to be somewhat comforta ble before their removal, now enjoy pros. pects of uninterrupted prosperity. ' The pore ibes 'frotm the North, most of whoa2 r'emained tribes of hunters up to'the' ime of their emigration, are now rapidly im proving their condition. None of the etri igrant tribes rely imaterially on the chiasi four subsistence, hut all depend almost wholly on the fruit of th eir industry 6t'thei. homes. The experiment of securing- to the Indians a permanent residenice, tinden' the circumstances blludedl to, proves to bd 'successful in a high" degree.'
