WAsINGToN, March 7.
Prayer by Rev. Mr. Slicer. Journal
of yesterday read.
Messrs, Turney, Yulee and Dickin
son, had permission to ithdraw papers.
Mr. Foote made a personal explana
tion in iegard to a "painful occurience"
in the. Senate Chamber on Saturday
night last, which he remarked had un
dergono setious misreprescntation in al
most all the newspapers, and which he
desited to see corr' cied through the.
same channel. He alluded to an "un
happy personal altercation" between
himself and the Senator from Pennsyl
vania, not now a member of this body,
(Mr. Cameron,) which resulted in some
thing like a "physical collision." In
twenty or thiity minutes thereafter the
amicable relations between them, how
ever, were duly restortd.
It had been represented, he said, in
some of the papers, that lie went over
to the seat of the Senator from Penesyl
vania, and shook his fist in his face. This
he denied. le had never been guilty
ofsuch rudeness here'or elsewhere. In
regard to the implications- of a great
mass of the newspapers, he should pass
them by without notice. Some of the
papers, however, had stated that Mr.
Care:on, for insulting language, had
struck him in the face. Tis. was a
misrepresentation. True -it was that
very slight blows had:been inflicted,
both by- Mr. Cameron, -and himself,
when:the Senator froin Alabama inter
posed.: Ho deeply ind profoulhdly re
gretted the occurrence, though lie had
acted upon what he thought sufficient
piovoeati1-andun.der the excitement
of the moment. It wou

could deliberately do anythin'g to en

Mr. Jefferson Davis offered a :es'olu
Itioh, that whenever a vacancy shall hlre
after occur in the Board 'of! egents of
the Smithsonian Institute tl)at the.filling
of such vacancy shall be. vested by law
in the President of the Senate. Some

Mr. Cass inqiuired wvhether any pr'6
vision ekisted for the appoin.tment of .a
Copimittee on.. the flume -Department.
The Vice President replied that lie
was infor med by the Secretary of the
Senate that there was no soich proeision.
Mr. Mangum summitted i list of
nainies for the standing committees; ac
comiianied by a resdhltidn that they
be appointed, wit houit a formal vote, and
stating thai though, in the list, the seve
r.al 'coiiimittees had not been eitirely
Nled up, the deficiencies could be sup
plied hereafter, as no great qiuestion
would be likely to arise, at p)resenit, re
quiring the action of a full committee.
The resolution wvas adopted.
The select'committee on Mr. Shields'
elligibility Cionsists of- Benton, Mason,
Folch, Webster, Pearce.
On motion, thme Senate then proceed
ed to the consideration of executive bu
siness; and after a long session, confirm
ed; it is understdod, all the Cabinet nom
inations, as given you yesterday. The
debate was on a rhotiott 'to refer; as
6suiti, otte or ito of the noiiinations, but
the motion was negatived..
MARCII 8.
Mr. yefferson Davis called up the
resolution yesterday subinitted by him,
relative to the vacancies in thd Board of
Regents in the Smithsonian Institute.
Mr. Benton conceived that the filling
of such vacancies:;hmould be provided for
by law; and was opposed to the proposed
construction to be given by the resolu
tion submitted.
Mr. Jefferson D)avis did not agree
with the Senator from Missoumi, that this
should be a tegislativo act. The'power,
byv the act of incorpjoration, bclongs eX
clusively to the Senate. With it th
House has nothing to do. The only
question was whether the appointment
belongs to the Senate or to the presiding
officer of the Senatc.
After some further debate by Messrs.
Mason, Bradbury and Benton, the reso,
lution was, by yeas and nays, agreed to
-32 to 7.
Mr. Walker s,bmitted a resolution,
which was agreed to, authorizing the
select committee to inquire into the eli
gibility of Gen. Shields, to send for per
sons and papers, and to call to their aid
a person authorised to administer oaths
and to -take testimony of such persons as
th6 committee may deem proper, and to
procure the proper authentication of
any papers or records which the com
mittee may at any time have before it,
relating to the subject matter under its
consideration.
Mr. Walker also presented a pap6r,
which on his motion, was referred to the
select committee, understooid to be a
copy of the original declaration filed by
Gen. Shields in Illinois, of his intention
to become a citizen of the United States,
and of his subsequent naturalization
therein, according to the usual forms ih
such cases.
Mr: Felch and Corwin each had leave
to withdraw papers from the files; hd

NIGHT ERAL OF A SLAVE

My requ brought the proprictoi
himnself: t dor, and from thenco.t<
tic gate, -, a scrutinizing glance a
my perso. bdequipments, he enquirei
my na m ness and destination. I
prolnpt ponded to his questions
and he iqVied me to alight and entei
the house,i-e truo spirit of Southerr
hospitalit
He, wos,jarently thirty years of age
and y a man of cducation and
refihemeintf hoon observed an air a
gloomy a.stictioin about him; lie said
but little, aod even that little seemed the
result of Tfort to obviate the seeming
want of cU thy to a stranger. At sup
per thWnibttesof the mansion appeared,
aid did 1onors of the table, in hei
particuliir*'partment; she was exceed,
ibgly lad e and beautiful, only a
southeri, -omen are, that is beyond
compar'l ith those of any other por
tion of 'h: .public. I have ever seen.

"Masidr,-de coffiri hab come."
"Very well," was the only reply, an
the servat 4isappeared.
* My hosCrenarked my gaze of inqs
mate or my ratier S youtm, anu tne men
tor0 fmnin ifaihful servant, an -ionest
man, and a incere christian. I stood
by his bed d to-day, and with his hands
clasped in ninei I heard the last- words
he uttered; they were, 'Muster, meet me
in heavea?":
His voiq faltered a moment, and he
cotinued, after a pause, with'increased
excitement4
"1is loitisa melancholy one to me.
If I left niyhine, I said to him, 'John:
see thAt all things are taken care of,' and
I knew tha,"my wife, child, property and
ll, were as -safe as though they wefe
guarded byen hundred soldiers. I never
spoke a haish word to him in all my life,
for lie neveil,maerited it. I have a hun.
dred others' many of them faithful and
true, but hsiloss is irreparable."
I comefiom a section of the Union
here slaiery does not exist; and I
brought wiih;me all the prejudices which
so generallyiprevail in the free States
in regard to this- "institution." I had
already seen:mach to soften these, but
he obseriation of yeais would have
filed to gise ine so cleat an insight into
te relation between master and servant
as this simple incident. It wvas not the
haughty planter, the lordly tyrant, talk
ing of 'his deadglave, as of his dead
horse, but tiie k,nd-hoarted gentleman
lamenting the loss, and eulogizing the
virtues of his good old friend.
After an' interval of silence, my hon
resumed- i
"There ire," said hi, "many of' the
old man's relatives and fritends wh<
would wish to attend the fjuncral. T
afford thominan opportunity, severa
plntations'have been notified that hi
will be buried to-night; some, I presu me
hae ailready,arrived; and desiring I
see that all thmgs are properly' prepare
for his interment, I trust you will excus
my absence for a few moments."
"Most 'iertaiiily, sir; but," I added
"if there i* no impropiriety, I would b
pleased to accompany you."
"There is~none," lie replhied; and
followed him to one of a long row
cabins, situated at the distance of son
three hidnd,ed yards from the mansio:
The house was crowded with negroe
who all arose at our entrance, and mnat
*of them echanged greetingS wvith i
hot, in tones that convinced me t
they felt iliat hie was an object of syr
pathy- fron1 thecm! The corpse was d
posited' in thd coffin, attired in a shro
of the fineht cotton ma,terials, and tl
coffin itsel'i painted black.
The ma?ster stopped at its head, al
laying his tand upon the cold brow of
faithful bondsman, gazed long and in.
tently upon features with which lie ind
. been so long familiar, and which lie
now looked upon fur the last time on
3 earth; raising his eyes at length and
glancing at the serious cc.untenances now
bent upon his, he said solemnly antdwith
much feeling
"He was a faithful servant and a true
christian; if you follow his example, and
live as lie lived, none of you need fear
when 'the time cones for you to lay
. here."
A patriarch. with the snow of eighty
rwinters on his head, answered
"Master, it is true, and we will try to
L live like him,"
There was a murmur of general as
sent, and after giving some instructions
ielative to the burial, wo returned to the
dwelling.
About nine o'clock a servant appear
ed with the notice that they were ready
to move; and to know if f irther instruc
tions were necessary. My host iremarked
to me, that by stepping into the piazza,
I would probably witness, to me, a novel
scene. The procession already had
moved, and its route led within a
few yards of the mansion. There were
one hundled and fifty negroes, arranged
four deep, and following a wagon in
which vias placed his coffin; down the
entire length of the line, at intervals of
a few feet, on each side, were carried
torches of the resinous pine, and here
called light wood; About the centre was
stationed the black preacher, a man of
gigantic frame and stentorian lungs, who
gave out from memory the words of a
hyin suitable to the occasion. The
Southern riegroes are provej bial for the
r melody and compass of their voices, and
I I thought that hymn, mellowed by dis.
tances, the most solemn and yet the
-sweetest music that had ever fallen upon
my ear. The -stillness of the night and
strength of their voices enabled me to
distinguish the ai- *at the distance of a
half a mile.

clime; where it- is our.proud boast that

PALPITATION OF Tt HIEAt.-Pro
fessor W. Parker, of the New York
College of Physicians and Surgeons, at
a recent clinical lecture, examined a m3n
who was troubled with palpitation of the
heart. The teports states that no ihy
sical signs of organic disease of the heart
could be detected; and hence we may
conclude, says Professor Parker; with
tuoch certainty, that all the c.rdidc dis
turbatnce is purely functional, depend
ng on derangement of the digestive
organs, and this organ.depending.on the~
free use of tobacco, tea and coffee, and
confinements withiri doors. What, then,
are the indications of treatment? Shall
we give physic in such a case? WVill
physic cure bad habits? Not a bit of
it. Let the patient simply thirowi away
his tobacco, his tea, and coffer; adopt a
y tain, wholesome diet, and take regular
texercise in the open air, and he will soon
be wvell; in a word remove the causes of
d eran gemient, and the effects will cease.
Bi'sri Costs.-Whflt the United
States beganl to, do sixty years ago. says
Sthe National lratelligencer, Great Britain
'a hasjust thought of doing, namely, num
:, bering the people. A census of tlhe whole
a British emplire is td .be taken in 18.51. Or
d deis have been sent iodall thie colonies to
2 make preparations for this labor, that it
ma7 he executed on a systematice and uni
orin plan throughout the British dommi
~ious in every part of .the globe. Th is is
e the first ime,that a comp,lete census of the
British empire has been determined upon
b ly tie Goernment, although no country
has prot@ced, so many writers on the sulb
ject of population as dreat Brtain. O
-produced fewer thatn Britain, France, .og
6 emany, ye.t our coutntry has furnished
y moi-e important statistical facts upon this
y siubject than all Europe combined.

by Jefferson vhen he had wealth to lavish,
on, his cuhivated taste. The house one

lofty hall, that was once adorned with
works of art which he had selected with a
master's skill, in the high places of the

The 6ed was in a recess, the end of which
coitaine1a 'two. cross pie'ce's. nj - 'on thii
were thrown t mattass on which he
laid iimself to die. It was the gloomiest
place-the dead room-that I was ever
in; there was the strongest gatherings of
thoughts, crowded upon each other, andt
each claiming to be the true emotion of
the hour and spot. I thought of liberty
and revolution-of phIlosophy, and 'of re
liginn and infidelity, and death hereafter,
of the soul of a mighty,. man suuggling
with the fetters and. rushing,away with
them into the darkness. of untried future.
