The interesting extract below is from the Washington correspondence of the JSout/i Carolinian : The Senate i? compose.1, f. r the most part, of grave pod venerable seniors, who have .passed the middle stare of life.? 15ul there are several who have onlv readied the wrong side of lhir*v,and w ho have been selected for the post because they were old young men?justifying the proverb that wisdom does not grow under every bald pate, hut is sometimes found budding and blooming out from young heads. A nong the younger meinhers, js the .President of the body, and Vice President of the United States, Mr. ?5reck'tiridge, lie has a line, open countenance, with strongly marked features. A man with such a face c m never descend to a tortuous course of policy, but will thinly iiiHUMHin the cause lie has intelligently espoused. His tnaungr is very quiet and gentlemanly, and he is quite at nonte in the elevated seat he occupies?never at a loss, when j\u appeal is made to his judgment? never thrown ofTliis guard. lie transacts business with great rapidity, without ever lo.-upg ?'ght of the forms and julec of tlio Senatorial body. The Senate, with some exception, is composed of men of a high order of tal ent and great experience. Among the most ellt vent rind elegant Senators, are Messrs. Toombs and Iverson, of Georgia, Mr. Davis, of Missis?ii>m. Mr. Beiiiamin. i I * W ' of Louisana, Mr. Mason, of Virginia, Mr. ,Green, of Missouri, Mr. Douglas, of Illinois, ami Mr. Seward, of J?ew York.? Mr. l'ugh, of Oliio, would be influential, .but he appears often on the arena, and is dogmatic. He, for a young inan, is al ways loo certain that he is right, and has xeaobet* the acme of Senatorial wisdom, ile is.doudiless, a raw ot'i.v, hut if more fond of sporting his pluinage than is altogether becoming in so juvenile a Cato.? As far as the graces of oratory are con cerned, there are few better speakers than .Senator Houston, of Texas. lie is the I -J 111 n L ? _* .? - ?3 .tliough we do not believe that he can ever Attain to the Presidency ? ( the Union, we have no doubt that nature intended that he should be a great man. and that when lie passes oil the stage, bis loss will be deeply felt. Mr. Bayard, of Delaware. i? nn ??!?!** 1 ' .... ...... miu insiiugiiisucti member ot 4,he >enate, but be speaks too often and is rather prosy. F ?r down-right honesty of purpose and a frank and independent expression of opinion, there is no Senator who attracts more admiration than Mr. Hrown of Mississippi. Mr. Hale, of New Hampshire, is a beany speaker, and has a high idea of his own wit. lie has the j>ow?r of amusing an audience, hut, we think, little ability to enlighten it. Mr IXrolittle, of Wisconsin, has a fine voice anil impressive utterance, but confines his attention too much to a single point, and has never learned theilrst 'ejjsuj, in statesmanship, as in navigation, which is to jbox tli o coin pass. His eyes are >lyav>. directed towards the North I'ole Mr. Douglas having lost ground by the course lie has pursued on llie Kansas question, Mr. Green, of Missouri, and Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, have become tlie leaders of the Senate, and either of (hem, pt this time, has a belter chance for the Presidency than "the little giant." Mr. Kvans, of South Carolina, merely address es the Senate, hut, when he does, speaks to the point. He is regarded by all the Senators with great respect. General Hammond has not yet made a speech, Jhp,t dyphll^s holds himself in r. s^-ve for some great questii u. iiis debut in the Senate is looked to with much expectation. We pass now to the new and gorgeous hall of the Ilnu-e of Representatives. ( which is lighted entirely from the roof of the building Great pains and skill have btfen expended upon the structure of this hash The purpose of the architect was to produce a pe'l?Ct roonj. and the laws of acoustics, is well as harmony of proportions, were diligently studied. There (is much in it to admire, and something perhaps to disapprove. If quiet were maintained in the hall, we helieve that | the voice of mosl speakeis would be distinctly heard in eve/y pait of it ; but so , exuberant and rampant is the spirit of liberty, '.hat it is not possible to maintain a perfect stillness in the Honsa o? ' ordinary wprki^g day* of tlio spssiop. it ia different op tlie Sahhaih, when the voice of the preacher can he diatine'dv heard at the remotest part of t)>e gallerv; hut the whispering? that is perpetually going on among? metphen, the/ustlin^ of newspapers, the noise occasionfd hv the movement over the pap?r of a htindred pens, the passing? of memltefs and mes senders to and fro?these, and various other causes, prevent the loudest and clearest voices from lining? heard by at least two-thirds of the visitors. It is seldom that the tuemlier* listen to each others' speeches, unless ihev intend to re ply to them. It is well understood that most of the speeches of members are delivered in the hall meretv for the purpose ol being? taken down hv the reporters, in ordorthftt therm&v lie published in the newspapers and distributed among their constituents for person.d or party porpp aes They are generally what is called Bmioofubo spee iios." \n orator mu*t bare something very unusual ahout him jn ?v)< ?r?d m toa-r, la jf%in Ilia ??i of the whole House. Although daily visi- I ting the Capitol, wg have known only t one or two instances during the present j session, where mouthers have been willing to abandon their diversified occupations in order to listen to a rousing and well I timed speech. To a stranger, it would seem that the dignified representatives of ( the American people are indifferent to! nothing so much its the great business of j legislation which lias called them togeth- I or.; but, in-coming .to tins conclusion, he | would commit a ureal olutider. If lie I were admitted within the bar, and were | iici 111 ntr*u n?f i.ui f,i any nay to ii?n en to all iliiil ik lUteied ill lite ears of uieinbor.s uiuler breu.lt, lit* would ascertiiiti tliHt there are methods of achieving the great etuis ol American legislation, oilier lliati what are supplied by loud lotted harangner#. There is a I ways a ; secret agency at woik thai operates more j effectually than any outside dcinonsira ! tiqr.s. '4 ha Speaker, Mr. Orr, fills his chair ' v.ith great ahiiitv. It is admitted, on all j hands, that never since the origin of the |.government has the House been under i the direction of a Speaker who unites the ! essenti lis of urbanity ami dignity, of a ' quick apprehension and readiness of de eision, it. a higher degree. Presiding over j the deliberation of a body in which par! ties are neaili equally balanced, and Itiin| self a party man, he litis, thus far, dis ] charged the duties of his difficult and del ich'o iximiu'h wiui a nurness :?n<l justice that have challenged the ail miration and open approval botli of friends and foes.? No Speaker has ever been known to ex ereise a control at once more persuasive | and powciful over the action of so I a roe j and ustully restive an assembly. A sin j tjle word uttered bv him (irmly, but without arrogance, often acts more effectually j than any sergeant-.at arms could <lo, in reducing the Lluiise to order. When the : speaker temporarily abandons the chair, i and i' is occupied by any other member, | the difficulty of maintaining or<ler in the | meantime becomes apparent, ai.d the ah j sence of the governing head is most ten sibly leit. Hut when the Speaker resumo his seal and exclaims, while lie brings down his ballet; "The House will come to order! Gentlemen will please to I resume their seats V' the tumultuous ' nuvM iutla&ily subside and there is h culm. J'uhlic speaking, for re:?s?<j< already staled, is iiot ordinarily a commanding power in llie House of Representatives.? I It exerts less inthiencc there than either at the bar or in the Senate. Slid it is sometimes resorted to with effect, by such speakers as Messrs. Stephens, of Georgia; i ! Quitman, of Mississippi ; Keitt and lioyce | of South Carolina ; Davis, of Marvland ; I and Mavnard, of Tennessee. Mr. Howie, of Maryland, practices pantomime with success. He is a humorist and an actor, and is always listened to with interest, more for his manner than his matter, though he is by no means delV ient in ability.

In the ordynjyy hand prenitde, this is provided for by a fusee, which being lit, when it reaches the pow der causes the v^p'owve. In tyc present instance o.-c end of* the shell is provided with 23 nipples nimilitr to those of a pun, and upon each of ; these a percussion cap is placed. When hither of these raps strike against any sub* itnnco it causes "instant explosipn. Thus ill uncertainty As to the time of the explosion is avoided.
