In the House, Porter introduced a resolution or? dering a survey from Richmond to Harrison's Bar, with a view of improving James River. A resolution passed giving the colored people the ase o? the hall fer celebrating the Fifteenth amendment, the rules requiring that the House participate in any object Tor which the use of the hali is allowed. Bltine asked Instructions as to what manner or participation the House should make In the celebration. When Cox and Eldridge were announced on the committee of the House to make arrangements whereby the House might participate in the cele? bration of the Fifteenth amendment, a discussion took place concerning the righi of the House to insist upon such duty from these gentlemen, they having declined on thc ground that their official positions did not require any such service. The Speaker, however, ruled that when the House directed a committee to corry out any of its or? ders, a member was as much compelled under the rules to serve on that as on any other committee, and neither was exensed. Subsequently, how ever, the resolution granting the usc of the hall was rescinded, and the select committee dis? charged. A -? EX7ROPE. Success of a Southern Loan.

According to careful estimates from other availa? ble sources the same companies are consumers or a majority of all the steel rails that have been laid ami are being Imported Into the United States. 1 trust that you will appreciate the advantage of sustaining the home competition, as the only de? fence upon which dependence can be placed to secure our railroad companies against the extor? tions of foreign manufacturers. 1 earnestly hope that you will sign thc enclosed petition and return it to mc at your earliest convenience, in order that it may he forwarded to Washington at the proper time.

Fulton, Esq., Philadelphia, Pa.: PEAK SIR-I am in receipt or your letter enclos lng a copy or a petition to Congress asking that In? stead i-f the present ad valorem duty on steel rails, a special duty or two cents per pound be levied, aud requesitugonr official signature ti.erc to. 1 can readily conceive the lien ellis which would accrue to American steel-makers in the event or an lucrease or duty ns petitioned for, but In what manner ihe railroads or the country are to be enriched, I must confess I nm at a loss to discover. Tuiity three out or Hie thirty-six of the signatures to the petition arc "well known representatives of leading railroads, a majority ot them being located lu or i untiing through Pennsylvania; and, were thor given unofficially,'% 1 would conclude their principal interest was centered In thc steel works, and not lu the railroads which they renresent. You urge thc advantage of sustaining the home competi? tion as the only (terence upon which dependence can be placed to secure our railroad companies against the extortions or ru reign manufacturers. We are decidedly in favor or sustaining competi? tion; not home competition alone, but both home and loreign, and do not propose to advocate any measure which will prevent it or place us In the hands or home extortionists, who would undoubt? edly 1-e as inexorable iii their demands as foreign manufacturers would be were the tame protec? tion given them, A monopoly in the production of steel rahs, thc vi.lue and Importance of which to railroads has been thorouzldy demonstrated, would orten compel us to take au inferior article at any price the monopolists might choose to put upon it. We would not have you believe thu', we are adverse to patronizing our own manufactures. Wc only desire to be al? lowed to purchase from whom we eau get tlic best article at the lowest price, and in my judgment these important considerations can only i>e attained by keeping up a vigorous com pettiion. As an argument uf thc justice of the petition, Ii ts claimed that the signers thereto rep? resent railroads that have laid more than threc fi rt hs or all the steel rails used IU this country In order to correct any wrong impressions that might lie obtained on this point by reason ot the position we take, we desire to say "that we alone nave used on Hie railroads represented by us (the New York Central, Hudson River, ami New York and Harlem) Pilly one-fifth or all Hie steel rails . laid down, and one-third or thc st?-el rails import? ed to tills country. We were among the llrst In this country to adopt steel instead or iron rails, and intend continuing so lo do as rapidly as thc earnings and price wal warrant. With respect, I am yours truly.

A movement is on fco: to build a railroad from Ringuold to the mining region in thc neighbor? hood of Lookout Mountain. The Carterville Express says that wheat is look? ing well, having a healthy deep-green color, and promises an abundaut yield. Spring oats are not badly Injured. Thc Metropolitan Fire Comnany or Savannah have elected General Robert E. Lee and General Joseph E Johnston honorary members or that or? ganization, and cordial invitations have been ex? tended to them to parade with the Metropolitan, as their guests, on the first or May parade or the department. The Bainbridge Sun says the planting interests arc greatly curtailed In Calhoun County for want or hands. There are one-third less this than last year. The same may bc said or Baker and other ndjoiuing counties. Oats, wheat and rye look well. Corn ls up on Rome plantations, and appears vig? orous. The planters arc nearly through corn plantiug. At the regular monthly sales in Savannah, on Tuesday, shares In thc Fores: City Loan Associa? tion, par value, $13, sold at $10 each: Atlantic and Gulf Railroad seven percent, bonds brought $01; Southwestern Railroad stock, f 0i a share, and Central Railroad stock $118 a share; mules from $6? to $l?o each. Two lots of Bind in Miller County, of ?tBJa acres each, brought $50 and $75 respectively. The Savannah Republican reports the grap? pling, on Thursday last, by a dredge boaiata wharf in that city, ora small cast iron swivel gun of one and a bau inches boro ami two reef six inches in length, a wooden stopper being in the muzzle, lt was grappled live reet below the bot? tom or the river, and is quite au ancient looking affair. Its age is a matter of conjecture-some persons asserting that it dates back to Ogle? thorpe's time. A negro washerwoman in Macon. Celia Smith, made the Brown House the victim or a well or? ganized system or plunder until she succeeded In stealing about $300 worth of crockery, bedding, ftc. Thc police searched her house on Wednes? day. Anding that every box and trunk In the house was Ulled with crockery and glassware, and under each bed were sundry articles of bed? ding, all bearing thc Drown House inscription or mark. But for this Interference, the washerwo? man might soon have become the proprietor of a first-class hotel. She now reflects in a cell. THE DEAD BEA IX GEORGIA. A Common-Sense View. A Georgia letter to the New York Times says: Within a row months. Mr. C. W. Howard, or Kingston, Ga., a gentleman of high standing, acknowledged skill as a geologist, and of superior intelligence, made a minute examination ur thc mineral region of coorina and Alabama, at the request of Mr. H?lben, then superintendent or the Western and Atlantic Railroad, (the property or the State,) to whom Mr. Howard made a very able report or his Investigations, showing beyond a doubt the exteut and value or the mineral dc posits of the country to which 1 refer. Had a similar report rrom au equally high authority been made about Montana. Idaho, ur thc coun? try adjacent to the highest peak or the Rocky Mountains, a flood or emigration would have set in towards the new El Dorado, and com? panies would have been formed, with sales or stock at fabulous prices. But herc at their very doors, witliiu tineen or twenty miles or several railroads and navigable streams,- people are told that the "richest copper known to the miner,7' some or "thc richest ami most valuable Iron ores of our Western mountains," and that the Huent coal in any quantities, are within their reach with "no difficulties to overcome," and the Infor? mation is as little heeded as ir they had been told one of Hie least, probable tales or the authoress or "Tashti."' Since the publication or Mr. How? ard's report, to which Mr. Hulbert gave avery wlilc circulation, 1 do not know of any organized effort having been made, nor do I "believe that any has been made to make this mineral treasure, available. corros MANIA. One or the cider causes or this strange apathy is the cotton mania. Every energy is bent to raise cotton. There is no lime and no means to encase In any other enterprise. "Wc arc an agricultural people.'' ir H salo; ....vc do not nader* stand any i liing else. Wc have plenty or laud, and we eau raise plenty or cotton and sell it nt twen? ty-five cents a pound. We cannot go into any business that will pay as well as that." Nobody seems to remember, and tew to know, that a diversified Industry and a concentration of capi? tal, arc essential tu the material prosperity of a people; that R depends altogether upon a single product ortho soil, is a ratal ra ?lacy m the long run: that a cotton crop exceeding two and a hair millions or bales will result lu bringing thc price below a remunerative standard, and that those countries and communities which arc thc most prosperous are those whose industry and produc? tions arc the most diversified. Had Mr. Howard told ol the existence ur a mine or guano, super perphosplutte, or oilier fertilizer for cotton, there would have been a rush to the "diggings''equal to that to California In the wildest time or the mining excitement. Every Individual believes timi he will raise at leas: a bale to the acre: that the cr.?p eau never agaiu be a large one. owiug to the scarcity and inrcriority of labor, and that never again can cottou fall "much below 25u." While this idea prevails (and, noiwlthstandlncr thc plaiu, undeniable truth that cotton now, to? day, is not worth more than -ile. in any part or Hie Interior or thc State, rew believe that thc market, will not rise to 25 and sic.) colton will command all thc available sinew and money ot the people, to the exclusion of every other Indus? try. Time aud rude experience will correct this error, by exposing the delusion; but in the mean? time the people must pay $S a tou tor coal, and depend un other States for every pound of hun they consume.

We should think so. -Victoria has signed the bil! for the "better preservation or thc peace in Ireland," which dates the commencement or a system or coercion even more stringent than that practiced in the recent? ly unreconstructed districts or the South. With? out walting for tho digestion or the Land bili, which is expected to make matters more easy of management in Ireland, a strenuous war meas? ure has been adopted which can only add to the discontent which i: is intended to suppress. Thei "proclaimed districts" are lo be held under the strictes: martial law.

TUE SURI EKING SISTERHOOD. [From tl?e Saturday Review.] We by no means put it forward as an original remark when we say that nature does her grand? est works of construction in silence, aud that all great historical reforms have been brought about either by Ung and quiet preparation, or by sud? den and authoritative action, rue Inference irom which is that no great good has ever been done by shriekiug, that mach talkiug necessarily in? cludes a good deal of dilution, and that fuss ls never an attribute of strength nor coincident with concentration. Whenever there lins been a very deep and sincere desire on thc part of a class or an individual to do a thing, lt lias been done, not talked about; where the desire ls only half? hearted, when the judgment or the conscience is not quite clear as to the desirableness of thc course proposed, where the chief incentive ls love of notoriety and not Hie intrinsic worth or the ac tiou Itscir- personal fcudos, and not the good or a cause or the advancement or humanity-then there has been talk, much talk, hysterical excite? ment, a long and prolonged cackle, and heaven and earth called to witness that an egg lias been laid wherein Hes tho germ or a future chick-with proper incubation. Nec? essarily there must be much verbal agitation If an.? measure ls to be carried the fulcrum or which ls public opinion, ir you have to stir thc dry bones you must prophesy to them In a loud voice, and not leave oil* till they have begun to shake. Things which can only bc kuowii by teaching must be spoken of, but things which nave to be done are always belter done the less the fuss made about them; and the more steadfast the ac? tion, the less noisy the agent. Purpose ls apt to exhale itself in protestations, and strength is ?ure to exhaust itscir by a Dux or words. Rut at the present day what Mr. Carlyle calls the Silences arc the least honored ot all the minor gods, and the babble ot small beginnings threatens to be? come intolerable. We all "thinlc outside our bruins,''and the result ls not conducive to men? tal vigor. It is as if we were to set a plant to grow with Its heels lu the air, and then look for roots, Howers and fruit, all by the same process of excitation and disclosure. Ouc or our quarrels with the advanced women or our generation is the hysterical parade thov make about their wants and their intentions, it never seems to occur to them that the best means <?r getting what they want ls to take lt, when not forbidden by thc law-to act. not io talk; that all this running hither and thither over the face of Hie earth, and feverish unrest, and loud acclaim is but the dilution of purpose thrungli much speaking, and not Hie right way at ali: and that to hold their tongues and do would advance them by as many leagues as babble puta them Uncle. A small kuot of women, "terribly in earnest," could move multitudes by the silent force of example. Gue woman alone, quietly taking her life In her own hands, and working out the great problem cf self-help and independence prucilcaily. not merely stating it theoretically, ls worth a score of shrieking sisters frantically calling on men and gads to see them make an effort to stand upright without support, with interludes of reproncli to men for the want of help In their attempt. The silent woman who quietly calculates her chances and meusures her powers with her difficulties so as to avoid the probability or a fiasco, aud who, therefore, achieves a success according to lier en? deavor, ?loes more for thc real emancipation of her own sex than any amount or pamphleteering, lecturing, or petitioning by the shrieking sister? hood can do. Hers is deed not declamation, proof not theory, and lt carries with lt thc respect always accorded to success. And really If wc think of lt dispassionately, and carefully dissect thc great mosaic of hindrances which women say makes up the pavement or or their lives, there ls very little which they mav not do ir they like-and can. They have already succeeded to n great extent In opening to them" selves the practice or medicine, for one thing, aud this ls an immense opening if they know how to use lr. A few pioneers, unhelped for thc most part, steadily and without shrieking, storm? ed the barricades of the hospitals mid dissecting, leonis, heroically bearing the shower of hard mouthed missiles wp li which they were pelted, and successfully forcing their way notwithstand? ing, lint thc mos: successful of them are those wlio held ou with least excitement, and who strove more than they declaimed: while others, by constitution belonging to the shrieking sister? hood, have comparatively failed, and have main? ly succeeded lu making themselves ridiculous. After some pressure, but very little cackle-ror here too the work was wanted, thc desire real and the workers In earnest-rernale colleges on a liberal and extended system of education have been established, and young women have now an opportunity of showing wiiat they can ito in brain work, lt is no looser by thc nig? gardliness of men aud me muir or an Imperfect system, ir they prove Intellectually Inferior to the Btrongersex; t hey have their dynamometer set up for them, Hnd all they have to do ls to register their relative strength and abide thc issue. All commerce, outside thc stock Exchange, ls open to them equally with men; and there ls nothiug to prevent their becoming merchants, as they are now petty traders, or setting np as bill-brokers, commission agents, or eren bankers, which last profession, according to a contemporary, they have actually adopted In New York, some ladles there having established a bank, which, so far ns they have yet gone, they ?ire said io conduct with itertness and ready arithmetic. lu literature, they have compciitors in men. but no monopo? lists. Indeed, they themselves have t?ecome al? most thc monopolists or thc whole section or "light literature" and fiction: while nothing bu: absolute physical aud mental incapacity prevents their taking the charge of a journal, anil working It with female-editor, sub-editor, manager, repor? ters, compositors, and even news girls to sell thc second edition at omnibus doors and railway stations. Ifa set or women chose to establish a newspaper, and work lt amongst themselves, not a single law could bc brought io bear against them; and ir they made it as philosophical us some, or as gushing ns others, thoy might enter Into a formidable rivalry with the tdd established: they would have a fuir hearing, or rather reading, they would not lie "nursed"' or hustled, and they would get inst as much success us they deserved. To be sure they du not yet sit on the bench nor plead at Hie bar; thry ?ire not in parliament, anti they are not even voters; while, as married women with unfriendly husbands and no protec? tion order, they have something to complain or. and wrongs that arc In a lair way to be righted ir the shrieking sisterhood does not frighten the world prematurely, cat, despite these restric? tions, they have a very wide circle whcrel i they can display their power, and witch the world with noble deeds, if ihey choose-aad as some have chosen. Of the representative "working-women" In England, we And none who have shrieked on platforms or made an hysterical parade of their work.

Miss Martlneau dived with more or les? success into the forbidding depths of the "dismal science,'' at ti tltuy when political econo IZ" was shirked by men, and considered as essen? tially "uufemliilne as top-boots and tobacco; and she was confessedly au advanced Liberal when to be a high Tory was part of the whole duty of woman. Miss Nightingale understood the care of Wounded soldiers without any more publicity than was absolutely necessary rur the organiza? tion or her stair, and with not so much as one shriek. Rosa Uoiiheiir laughed at those who tdd her that animal painting wis unwomanly, and that she had better restrict herself to Howers and heads, as became the ./CMKI*? demoiselle or conven? tional lire: but she did not publish her pro gramme of Independence, nor take Hie world Into lier con silence, and tell them of her difficulties and dell an ce. The lady superintendents or our owu various sisterhoods have organized their communities and perrornied their works uf chari? ty with very faint blare of trumpets Indeed, anil we might enumerate many more who have quiet? ly lived the life or action and independence of which others have ouly raved, and who have done while their sisters shrieked. These arc the women to be respected, whether we sympathize with their line ot action or not, having shown themselves to be true workers, capable of sus? tained effort, and therefore worthy or the licuor Which belongs to strength and endurance. Of one thing women way le very sure, though thev invariably deny it; the world is glad to take good work from whomsoever will supply it. The most certaiu patent of success ls to deserve it; and if women will prove that they can do the world's work as weil as tuen, they will share with them in the labor and the reward, aud if they do ir better they will distar.ee them. The appropriation of fields of labor ls uot so much a question of selfishness as of (hitherto) proved fit? ness; but if in times to come women can show better harvesting than men. can turu out more finished, more perfected results or any kind, the world's custom will now :o them by the very force or matural law. and they will have the most to do ot that which they can do thc best, ir they wish to educate public opinion to accept them as equals with men. they can oniy do so bv demonstration, uot by shrieks. Even men, who arc supposed to Inherit Hie earth and to possess all the good things of life, have to do the same thing. Every voung man yet uni ried ls only li: the position or every woman: and, granting that he has not the deadweight of precedent and pre Jndicc against him, lie yet has to win his spurs before he can wear them. Hut women want theirs given to them without winning them, and. moreover, ask to be taught how to wear Hiern when they have got them. They want to lie re? ceived as masters before they have served their apprenticeship, and to be put into office without passing an examination or submitting to compe tiiiou. They scream out for a clear s:nge ami favor superadded; and they ask men to shackle their own feet, like Lightfoot in thc fairy tale, that they may then bc handicapped to a inore equal running. Tiley do not remember that their verv demand for help vitiates their claim to* equality; and that ir they were what they assume to be, they would simply take without leave asked or given, and work mit their own social salvation by the Irrepressible force of a concentrated will, and in thc silence of consclons strength. While thc shrieking sister? hood remain to the front, the world will stop its ears, and for every hysterical advocate "the cause" loses a rational adherent and gains a dis? gusted opponent. It is our very desire to see women happy, noble, fitly employed, and well remunerated for such work as they can do, which makes ns so Indignant with the roollsh among them, who obscure the question they pretend to elucidate, and put back the cause which they say they advance. The earnest and practical workers among women arc a very Ultferent clas3 from the shriekers; but we wish the world coeld dissociate them more clearly than lt docs a irescnt, aud discriminate between thom, both lu Its censure and Its praise. A SENTIMENTAL STORY. Simon Short's Son Samuel. Shrewd Simon Short sewed shoes, Seven? teen summers, speeding storms, spreading sun? shine, successively saw Simon's small shabby shop still standing staunch: saw Simon's self? same squeaking sign still swinging, silently speci? fying: "Simon Short, Smithfield's sole surviving shoemaker. Shoes sewed, soleil superilnely." si? mon's spry, sedulous spouse, Sally Short, sowed skirts, stitched sheets, stuffed sofas. Simon's six stout, sturdy sons-Seth, samuel, Stephen, Sanl, Silas, Shadrach-sold sundries. Sober Seth sold sugar, starch, spices; simple Sam sold saddles, stirrups, bcrows; sagacious Stephen sold silks, satins, shawls; skeptical Saul sold silver salvers; selfish Shadrach sold salves, shoestrings, soap, saws, skates; slack Silas sold Sally Short's stuffed sofas. Some seven summers since Slmom's second son Samuel Raw Sophia Sorronia Spriggs somewhere. Sweet, sensible, smart Sofronia Spriggs. Sam soon showed strange symptoms. Sara seldom stayed storing selling saddles. Sam sighed sor? rowfully, sought Sophia Sofronla's society, sung severul serenades slyly. Simon stormed, scolded severely, said Sam seemed so silly sluging such shameful senseless songs. 1 Strange, sam should slight such splendid saies ! Struttiug spendthrift ! shattered-bralned simpleton !" "Softly, sofily, sire," said Sally, "Sam's Smit? ten; Sam's spied some sweetheart." "Sentimental schoolboy !" snarled Simon. "Smitten ! stop such stuff." Simon sent Sally's snuffbox spinning, seized Sally's scissors, smash? ed sallys spectacles, scattered several spools. "Sneaking scoundrel : Sam's shocking silliness shall surcease." Scowling simon stopped speak? ing, starting swiftly shopward. Sally sighed sadly. Summoning Sam, she spoke sweet sym? pathy. "Sam." said she, "Sire seems singularly snappy; so, sonny, stop strutting streets, stop smoking, spending specie superfluously, stop sprucing 60, stop einging serenades, stop short; sell saddles, sell saddles sensible; see Sophia So? fronia Spriggs soon; sbe's sprightly, she's stable, so solicit, sue. secure Sophia Sofronia Spriggs speedily, Sam." "So soon * so soon ?" said Sam, standing stock still. "So soon, surely," said Sally, smilingly ; "speci? ally since sire shows such spirits." So, Sam, somewhat scared, sauntered slowlr, shaking stupendously. Sam Soliloquises: "Sophia Sofronia, Spriggs, Spriggs-Short-Sophia Sofro? nia Short-Samuel Short's spouse-sounds splen? did I Suppose she should say-. She ! she shan't -she shan't !" Soon Sam spied Sophia starching shirts, singing softly. Seeing Sam, she stopped starching, salut? ing Sam smilingly. Sam stammered shockingly. "Spl-spl-splendld summer season. Sophia." "Somewhat sultry," suggested Sophia. "Sar-sartln, Sophia, said Sam. (Silence seven? teen seconds.) "Selling saddles still, Sam ?" "Sar-sartln," said Sam, startling sudden!v. "Season's somewhat sndorlflc," said Sara, stealthily, staunching streaming sweat, shaking sensibly. "Sartin," smiling significantly. "Sip some sweet sherbert." (Silence sixty seconds.) "Sire shot sixty snipe, Saturday." said Sophia. "Sixty* shoo!" said Sam. (Silence severnv SCVCn seconds.) "See sister susan's sunflowers,'' said Sonnia, socially silencing such stiff silence. Sophia's sprightly sauciness stimulated Sam strangely; so Sam suddenly spoke sentimentally: "Sophia, Susan's sunflowers seem saving, 'Sam? uel Short, Sophia Sofronia Spriggs, stroll serene? ly, seek some sequestered spot, some sylvan shade. Sparkling springs shall sing soul-stirring strains; sweet songsters shall sllcucc secret siith lugs, superange?c sylphs shall "-Sophia snick? ered; so Sam stopped. "Sophia," said Sara, nolcmnlr. "Sam," said Sophia. "Sophia, stop smiling. Sam Short's sincere. Sam's seeking some sweet spouse, Sophia." Sophia stood silent. "Speak, Sophia, speak : Such suspense specu? lates sorrow. "Seek sire, Sam, seek sire." So Sam sough: sire Spriggs, sire Spriggs said "Sartin." (Illina, (Erockcrrj, Ut.
