IMWI Ad jtw*mn|km, thus writes to tbt Huouville (Ala.) Democrat : The Kwm debMe in (be gtnate he* been deferred till next Monday, the 13th instant. wheh Senator Itele will give us the Bleek Republican programme on that sublet. Senator Brown, of Mbaissippi, fork the floor last week, ami commenced speak lag, but wee forced by vertigo tn stop ? / MM, end, on hist Monday be^ declined spunking, saying that the Kansas issue was soon to M presented in a practical form, and he ihcald atm't that i?ms, a* more propitious for being henrd es well n? more appropriate. What that piactioal form will be, further than the bare question of admission, can scarcely Ire predicted. Whether the Lecomplon Constitution will be presented to Congress, and, if so, whether with or without the clause recognizing slavery as an institution of tbe State, is yet problematical. A?J ?. 1 . !.? - _ * t .1 ?r adu ii prwemeu wmi slavery, wneuier ivanmi will be admitted is doubtful. It seem* to be conceded that the Senators elect from Minnesota, and her Representatives, will vote against her admiasiou-? following Senator Douglas. Then, the course of the Leg 1 tslature of Ohio; *n requesting her Senators and Representatives to vote against her admission. will probably decide their course, which has been regarded, at best, as doubtful. With the unanimous vote of the South, and the votes of Senators Jones, of Iowa. Fitch and Bright, of Indiana, Higler, of Pennsylvania, Thompson and Wnght, of New Jersey, and perhaps Qwin, of California, the admission would carry the Senate by 10 votes. But the South may lose Hell, of Tennessee, Crittenden, and Houston, which would give her a majotity of only 4 votes. In the House, vrith a Northern majority of 06, the South inust get every Southern vote and 29 Northern votes, winch is hardly probable. If, however, slavery is prohibited by the Constitution, or if the free state party voted on the 4th, and carried all the elections (as telegraphed.) whv Kansas may enter the Union without difficulty. For, stripping off all disgut>e, tits only cause of quarrei.on the part of our Northern allies, is the slavery feature. It is more terrible to them than 44 an army with banners." It is death if they embraco it or if they reject it; for, if they reject, it separate* thorn from the South and demoralizes them at home ; if they embrace, enough of their pnrty at hoinc have already denounced it. to ensure deser tions to the Black Republican*, sufficient to give them the victory. Alas! what a gloomy future for the South ! Antagonized upon a vital interest by the whole North, or, nt least, a niHjroity auffi- j cient to over ride her, with n certainty that she must dwindle, while the North grows in ]K>wer through all future time ! Minnesota, with 2 Senators and 2 Representatives, is now asking admission ; Kansas, with 2 Senators and I Representative, ami Oregon with the ?Atno, will be here in a few days, to add 6 in the Senate, and 4 in the House to the Northern majority, which will then be 8 in the Senate, and 58 in the House. Then, there are Utah, New Mexico, Nebraska, Washington, Decotali, Arizona, and the In dian Territory, to add, at least, 10 States non-slavehohling; which will Rwell their majority in the Senate to 28, (without l)cla ware.) and in the House to at least 80 voters! Thus, we shall soon be at the mercy of our friends or enemies of the North. The Fracas in the House. A correspondent of the Charleston Mercury, who was an eye-witness to the fracas between Mr. Keilt and Mr, Grow, of Penn Ivannia, gives the following account of the a iuir: Wahiiinoton. Feh. 6, 1858: About two o'clock, A. M , Gen. Quitman offeted a proposition to disentangle the pro ceediugs in the House. Mr. Grow, who was in one of the aisles on the democratic _! a. . c ,L- if -i : - i - - - nine 01 me nouse, onj?!ie(i a iiuio laruv.? Mr. Keitt said to him, * Go on the other side of the House, to which you belong, if you want to object." Mr. Grow answered, * I'll object where I please." Mr. Keitt then said, " Wait till I can cntne round, and I'll take caro of you." Mr. Keitt went round and said to iiim, " You Abolitionist puppy, move to your aide of the House, and don't stay here." Grow said, M I'll stay aa long as I please." Mr. Keitt then choked him for an mutant, lie then started otf, when Mr. Grow said, " You can't come from your plantation and crack the whip over me." Mr. Keitt turned back and said, " I'll choke you again for that i jsolenco," and he grasped his throat a second time. Gen. Davis, of Miss., then interfering, wrenched Mr. Keitt tound to keep them apart, and Greasing him against the corner of a lahle, tr. Keitt partially fell. Mr. Grow, when Mr. Keitt was wrenched round to separate tlnm, struck at Mr. Keitt, we think, hut did not reach him. Those l>v say he did not reach Iiim. Mr. Harksdaie, in interfering to separate lliern, was struck, and dealt a few heavy blows in return. The whole ?t.;n? ?... ...J u. .,..i : tiling iritn riiU'lCM OUU UTCI III H 111 Ol II fl| l There was not much excitement prevailing before or afterwards. Tliis is h suceint statement of the whole Htfair, which will, doubtless, fca great'; ' w -rated hy Black Republican prints. The whole thing was extemporaneous. Gr.rriso Sham. Payments.?The editors ? of tho Lyons (Iowa) Mirror have been prei en ted with a town lot worth six hundred ("o'lars. Meigs, of the I'alo Transcript, and Bond, of the Mcndota Press, liuve each I ten presented with a town lot. That's all right. These men, like alloth- I er faithful editors, have contributed, materially, to build up the business and good name of their towns, and, if presented with a lot every year by the town authorities, would not get pay for the service* they have rendered. And yet an editor may live and die in poverty and rags, while the men made rich and great through the influence of his pen and ink, ride hy him and over him without as much as * friendly recognition. [Aiifitta (Ga.) Ditpnfrh. ggggggg- 11 1. 1 H 1 m OrImm papers that General Walker ?p . peered before the United 8utee Dietrich Court in New Orleans on Hondnf. He euted that (taring been bound orer to ap> , peer before title court, he had presented himM)lf for that purpose, and desired to know if there was any charge against him. Judge ' McCaleb replied that the Grand Jury bad ignored the bill against the General, and therefore tbcro was no accusation against birn. , General Walker remarked that tlie Presi- j dent had brought au accusation publicly, and lie derired an investigation and trial before the Court and jury in order to know who the ti4e criminals were.; and for this . purpose he was willing to waive the finding of a hill and go before the Court on any indictment the District Attorney might draw. I The Judge said he would commtonicnte the fact to the District Attorney. ( Very soon after this, the District Attorney was informed of wli#t bad occurred in Court, and was asked to comply with Gen. Walk* < er's request. This he declined to do, saying i lie would do nothing further in the case until he should hear from the Government in Washington in regard to it. Nr.w Treasury Notks.?The National 1 Intelligencer thus describes the new treasury 1 notes engraved by Rawdon A Co., New | York. They are pronounced to be exquis- , ite specimens of art: " The 1,000's have the American eagle 1 with expanded wings for the principal vtg- ' nette, wii.li the portrait of the President of I the United Status on the right, and a figure t of justice on the left. The 500's have, for t the princi|mi device, two figures represent- . ing Agriculture and Manufactures ; on the iett is n portrait of tiie Secretary of theTrens- 1 ury, and on the right are the eagle and the ( shield containing the arms of the Union, | with emblems of Commerce and Peace.? These notes are printed in indestructible inks, (black and green,) as a protection against photographic counterfeits and alterations.? ( The portrait of the Secretary of the Treasury has been engraved expressly for the notes " and is a pet feci likeness." ^ Dkaiii of Okrarii. the Lion-Kilbrr. , A letter from Pari*, in the Independence " Beige, fay* ; " Bad no*** lias arrived here to-day to ' several officers of our garrison. It must I have been brought to Marseilles by the last v packet boat from Algiers. The intrepid luintsman, famous for his heroic combats with the kings of tl e desert, Jules Gerard, 1 has been devoured by a lion. Devoured is, ^ perhaps, not the exact word, for the details a are not known. The steamer quitted Al- c gicrs just as the horrible event commenced ( to be noised abroad in the Algerine capital, and the intelligence from the mountains is ' vague, as are generally the first minors of a < calamity. It may, perhaps, turn out the t Arabs have exaggerated the event, and that Gerard may still be alive. M. Jule* Gerard was born as Pignans, near Toulon, in 1817." Admission of Kansas.?The Washingington correspondent of the Ilichmoud Enquirer, dated IIill instant, says: " It is now readily admitted on all sides that llio Administration will triumph, and that Kansas will be admitted under the State Constitution as now presented. The subject was withheld from the territoiial committee by a vote of 114 to 113?showing a defeat of the Lecoinntonites by % sin gle vote?with a reserved strength of five vote* for Kansas not yet polled. Kven if this reserved strength could not be brought io near upon mm mini n?aue, when reported j t beck from (lie apecinl committee, lliere in no ] doubt llie influence cf the Federal Administration in sufficient to change a vole where , the adverse majority i* ao small."

The temples and pyramids throughout Nubia, as far as the haref and Abyssinia, nil bear the hieroglypliy of inonarchn, ' and there i? no evidonce in all the Valley of < the Nile that the regio race ever attained a higher degree of civilization than in at nrea ent exhibited in Congo and Ashantee." A Mkiihv Christmas in Jail.?On Chri?tma* morning the jailor of Marion conn i ty.

Comer's Lady's Hook : The March number of this ugem " of periodicals is before us. No house is complete without it?but we think it is in country homes where Godey is most truly appreciated. We have often wondered nt the taste and refinement displayed by (lie ladies in some of these "out of-tlie- way " places.

Death of Col Wade Hampton, Br. Tliis old and much esteemed citizen of our 8late, recently died at Natchez, Mississippi. Col Hampton was in his sixty-ninth year, having been born in April 1701. lie was a soldier in the war of 1812, and was an aid to General Jackson on the tnemoral 1 8th of January at New Orleans. The South Carolinian pays a beautiful and deserved tribute to his memory, from which we have only room for the following extract: " Conspicuous for every high quality that adorns humanity, Col. Uampton was beloved ' by all who knew him, and even those who i differed with him in opinion could not avoid , respecting him. llo was everybody's friend, and no appeal was ever made to liim for aid in trouble that was fruitless.
