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.

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.

Cttfirlegio!) 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 * *

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

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.

Sinoclak Coincidences.?Miss Eliza
Lawrence aged 30, a very estimable lady,
died in this city at the residence of her
l>roiher iu-law, (Jas. Vernoy Esq..) on the
2d inst. 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. Upon 1
that point they rest bis defence I I

to stealing him.
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.
