Washington, Jan. 7. Proceedings of Congress.?Senate.?Mr. Hammond, the newly elected Senator from Soeth Carolina was in bis seat to-day. Mr. Seward presented a petition from ci tizens of New York, for the extinction of slavery by remunerating their owners, which was laid on the table. Several bills and resolutions were introduced, and after some business of an unira portant character, the Senato went into executive session. House.?Tho Central American question wan taken up, and Mr. El? Thayer made a speech, which was in favor of Americanizing Nicaragua by colonization. Mr. Adrian condemned filibustering in general, and attached no blame to Commodore Pauldiug, for his course in arresting <1? A XT ? 11.? Without transacting any other'business of | importance, the House adjourned to Mon day. Washington, Jan. 6. The Senate, in Executive Session to day, were engaged nearly three hours in discussing matters connected with the nomination of Mr. Sedgwick as District Attorney of New York in place of John McKeon. While it is probable that the former will be confirm ed, some of those who intend voting in the affirmative will define their position, believ* ing that the President has the right or power to change the officer, but not justifying his removal for the reasons alledged. The nomination of Mr. Clifford to fill the vacancy in the Supreme Court is still pending in the Senate. The debate in the House, to-day, cover ing a defense of Cominodoro Paulding, strengthens the belief that that officer will not be recalled. A Devotkd Wifk.? A correspondent of the Boston Post relates the following in re lerring to the recent accidental death of Col. Wynkoop. M With his wife, who is an invabd, he was Turning uie interior 01 jrennsyivatua tor re- | creation and change of scene. The country is wild there and sparsely settled. One morning he went out with his servant to shoot game for his wife. In handing him the gun, the servant, by accident, discharged it; the conteuts took effect in his leg, sever ed the artery, and he lived but a few minutes. " An absurd superstition prevails among the ignorant inhabitants of the region against touching a dead body before an inquest has sat upon it. The servant had been sent at once for aid to some distance, and in vain did Mrs. Wynkoop endeavor to induce by supplications, by promises, by offers of money, the stultified neighbors to shelter and care for her husband's body. It was night, lie still lay where he fell; and there, in that howling wilderness, with the clammy damp liess of miduight gathering ou her garments, did that delicate woman, as frail as the wild flowers around her that folded their petals together io their weird solitude, sit alone on the chill turf, supporting on her knee the head of her husband; and there remained, keeping her lonely vigil until the breaking of the grey dawn, alone with her dead and with her bleeding heart.

Read bis advertisement Interesting VisitWe were agreeably entertained an evening or two since by a visit from our friend, Mr. G. H. Feaster, formerly of Fairfield, but now of Laurens District. Mr. Feaster bas been blind from his infancy almost, but bas a very remarkable recollection of persons, places, events, and things generally. He has an excellent education, having received the advantage s of the schools which have been endowed for the education of the blind. We are authorized to say that he expects to deliver a lecture at Mr. Wm. Purge's Schoolroom, on to tnorrow evening, at candle-light, upon "The Anglo-American." The public generally are invited to attend. Morfreesboro Military Academy. We have received a prospectus of the above school, located at Mnrfieesboro,Tenn. Mr. llcNKr 11. D'Otlkt, formerly of this place, and recently a graduate of our State Military Academy, is one of the principals. We wish the School and our young friend D'Otlkt, every success. The graduates of our State Military Academy are well qualified to take charge of school*, and the training of young men. The position# which they have attained in onr own and other State.", fully attest the above fact, and we are rejoiced to see them putting their talents Bud energies in the proper direction. Our Paper?Encouraging. The rapid increase in the circulation of our paper, for the past three weeks, is certainly most encouraging to us. Our friends in every part of the District, have our hearty thanks for their efforts iu our behalf.? Some have written to us so cheeringly that we are almost tempted to qnote from their letters. One kind friend, who has sent us, in all, near twenty names from one post office in this District, and who is still going it, closes his last remittance to us with a happy "hurra for the Enterprise." We shall endeavor to merit a continuation of your favors, kind patrons, one and all. We have been asked by many, since we reduced our price to One Dollar, if we would not lose by the operation. Jty adhering to The following plan, we think that, instead ofi losing, it will bo not only our gain, but aj gain to our subscrilrers : Ileretolore, we suf-1 fered ilie puper to be sent to subscribers living at a distance, after the time bad expired for which they had paid, and in a great many instances, after sending it two aud three years, we failed to get one cent, which losses bad to be made up from the amounts received from paying subscribers. By discontinuing subscriptions, where no money has been received, we are secured from all loss, and thus enabled to furnish a paper somewhat cheaper to those who do pay.? We intend to adhere to our terms, unless we are acquainted with the parties, and know thera to be good. Notice to Tax Collectors. Col. J. 1).

Correspondence, Charleston, January 11th, 1858. Many of our citixens have been regaling themselves wiih the pleasure and good fortune in store of bearing Thos. Francis Meagher, the Irish patriot, deliver a <ourso of lectures during tbe present week. The subjects of liis lectures were to have been National Anniversaries and St. Patrick's Day. His selection could not bnve been more appropriately made, at least for the gratification of his warm-blooded brother Hibernians. Anniversaries have a peculiar charm in their enthusiastic eyes ; and as to St. Patrick, anything pertaining to him it reverenced with awe, almost amounting to idolatry. Their sympathy, and that of every one for the lecturer, would make it only the more appropriate. Every true Irishman's IipaH tlirnKo f/?r **.1.1 ? 1 * * .Ui uu uiv muiuer iiome, me Erin Isle, and after his adopted country, is most warmly cherished in his bosom. But alas ! Mr. Meagher's visit and lectures may be truly written among the things that were to have been; for, to the general disappoiutinent, he has wiitten word that he is unexpectedly prevented from visiliugCharleston at present, and is compelled to postpone his lectures until next winter. During the past week, wo have experienced a great deal of wet, rainy and disagreeable weather. It has been very trying to busiuess men, pecuniarily as well as physically, for commerce, on the retail highway, has been completely at a stand. To that portion who have been compelled to be on the gad, the omnibus line has truly been a convenience. In fact, it is only in such weather as wo have had lately, that this great but noisy four-wheeled blessing can be properly appreciated. Continually on I tbe go, from morn till night, any poor way- | farer has but to stretch forth his hand to one 1 ot these good Samaritans, and in a moment be is safely and snugly ensconced inside of a comfortable and commodious vebicle, wlien, for ibe modest sum of six cents, he can traverso the entire length of the city, from the post office to Line street, sheltered from wind and rain. This is tiulv a poor man's blessing, not only does the poor disd find it so, but often those whose purses are well lined with the yellow boys, bail it as a great convenience, when caught in a rain without umbrella or conveyance, and are glad to avail themselves of this benevolent institution. Hut the inveterate Jehu, wrapped in hit india rubber over-all, and intently pulling at his slump of cigar, laughs at the pelting rain ; for that which is death to passengers, is food and clothing to bim.? While they see nothing but the merciless shower, he sees only a small stream of silver that is quietly but steadily falling into his till. Rev. Dr. Manly delivered a discourse last evening, at the second Baptist Church, in Wentwortb {street, before the medical students, at tbeir particular request. The house was crowded to repletion, notwithstanding the evening was unpleasant, and with every indication of rain. It is donbifnl if many persona, so fortunate as to be present, ever listened to a sermon better calculated to appeal to and arouse the finer feelings of a wayward youth. Instead of seasoning hb address with rebuke, for the transgressions and exoesses to which young men are prone, be adopted the opposite course, and dwelt not upon what they were, but what tbey j ought to be. It U to be hoped that his mild and beaign teaehinga will be inculcated into the hearts of the many others who were present, as well as those to whom they were exclusively addressed. At last we are to have an Art Aseooialion in Charleston. A meeting for this purpose was called a few evenings sine# in Institute llall, of which Col. John Ashe Allston was appointed Chairman.

' > ? m*. nprD.Ti.naut Friday, the 43d anniversary of the memorable battle of New Orleans, was celebrated with groat glee by our military companies. In passing, through the streets, their targets were conspicuously exposed, which were thoroughly riddled with bullet holes; and from the numberless sprigs of cedar stuck in them, close around the bull's eye, showed that there were some sharp shooters among them. At a meeting of the City Council an election for city printers ,was held. The result was, that A. S. Williugton, of the Courier and the Messrs. Spratt of the Standard were chosen. The Mercury offered to take the contract for $085,and yet the former were chosen over it at $12,00 each. Mr. Hutchinson, who for some time has been giving Shalcsperean readings at Werner's Concert Room, will deliver this evening the entire play #f McBeth, without book or prompter, at Institute Hall. The beautiful and talented Miss Avonia Jones, the brightest star in the constellation of American actresses is again among us' charming all who go to 6eo her, with her truthful delineations of character.

Iler uealh wns caused by hemorrhage frdita the lungs, and there are one ' or lwo incidents connected with her own and brother's death, that perhaps would not transpire again for many years, if ever.? Three years ago, her brother caine from Savannah and being indisposed, concluded to remain a while in the city, and a room was offered him by Mr. and Mi#. Veruoy, which i he accepted. Shortly nfterward, another brother who is employed In this city, was going home to dinner, when a messenger met him with the reauest to hurry to the room of his afflicted brother, on reaching which, he had barely time to arrange the invalid in his bed ere he ceased to breathe. On Staurday the 2d inst., as the same brother was going to dinner, he was again met by a hurrying messenger with the reauest to hasten to his sister^ aid. as she was I. He went on and barely had time to arrange her on the bed, ere she died ! The places where he was met by both messengers were within a few feet of each other ; at tbo same hour of the day, on the same day of the month, both brother and sister died of the same diseaso, at the same house, and in the same room; and as near as can be judged, both died about the same time after the brother reached their side ! [Co/um&us Enquirer. A Plica for Paulding.?The Black Republican press,says the Richmond "South," exhibit singular unanimity in their criticism on Paulding's operations against the Fillibuster forces. 'J hey nil applaud the exploit of tho " gallant" Commodore; but then, they are not a little puszled to invent aome plausible apology for the outrage. The Al Dany evening journal, more ingenious than the rest, at last suggests a solution of the perplexity. It is this: The capture of Major Andre, of revolutionary celebrity, was an eminently patriotic and meritorious act.? j Commodore Hiram Paulding is a decendant of one of the three individuals who performed the service. Therefore, the arrest of William Walker and the dispereion of his army i by a demonstration of military force on the soil of?n independent republic, is an achieve- 1 meat of which the Government should attest its approval and admiration. The 1 reader will scarcely believe that any such I puerile parody of argument has been ad- j duced in justification of an act which vio latea the essentia! principles of nublio law | and discredits the cbaraoter of the country. 1 It is, nevertheless, a fact that the circuurjsUnee of his kinship to the oaptor of Major Andre is the only excuse which the Black Republican apologists of Paulding have ' urged in extenuation of bu conduct.

Man.?But few mendieof age. Almost all die of disappointment, passion, mental or bodily toil, or accident. The passions kill men sometimes, even suddenly. The common expression, * choked with passion," has little exaggeration in it; for even though not suddenly fatal, strong passions shorten life. Strong bodied men often die young; weak men live longer than the strong, for the strong use their strength, and the weak have none to use. The latter take care of themselves, the former do not. As it is with the body, so it is with the mind and the temper. The strong arc apt to break, or, like the candle, to run ; the weak burn out. A United States Soldier Sues an Editor fou Liuel.?Some two or three weeks Ago a Cincinnati paper published a statement that a soldier at the Newport Harracks liad fallen heir to an immense property? tome #200,000. Another journal contradicted the story, ami intimated that instead of having received so great a windfall, the soldier was a loafing, idle trifling sort of person, for which the 44 bold soldier boy" commenced a suit for libel, laying damages at $10,000. What gives the matter greater interest, is the fact that the first report about the immense legacy left to the soldier is said to be a veritable truth. Hon. W. II. Seward at a Corn Shucking.?lion W.
