In the House of Representatives, Mr. Thompson, of Pa., submitted a motion to close the debate on the census bill on Monday next, at 1 o'clock. It was laid oh the table, on a vote of yeas and nays, of 70 in the affirmative and 75 in the negative. The bills for the relief of Brown and Tarbox, and for the relief of James S. Graham and Walter H. Finnall were severally passed. The remsiinder of the day was occupied in discussing the joint resolution authorizing the President of the United States to accept and attach to the navy two vessels offered by Henry Grinnell, Esq., of New Yoik, to be sent to the Arctic seas in search af Sir John Franklin. Messrs. Savage and Bailey spoke against the resolution, and Mr. Baker, of 111., made some very eloquent and pertinent remarks in its favor. Mr. Hull, of Mo., proposed an amendment which was adopted, providing that the United States shall not be held liable for any damages i *" x ?voutuU jind also nro- I wmcu migut vtvui ?..v , g viding that no claim shall hereafter be made for the use of said vessels. The resolution was finally passed, and then ' the House adjourned till Monday. Washington, April 29. I The Senate took up the bill granting alternate sections of public land to the State of Illinois, to aid ia the construction of the Central Ruiiro.icL A debate arose which occupied the whole sitting. Mr. King moved an amendment extending the provisions of the bill to the Alabama and Mississippi Rail Road. Agreed to. Mr. Walker moved to strike out the provisions for increasing the price of reserved sections to $2 50, or the minimum. Mr. King opposed this motion. After a lonir discussion .Mr. Walker's amend ment was rejected. The Senate adjourned. In the House, on motion of Mr. Cobb, of Ala. the bill granting bounty land to the officers and soldiers of the war of 1812, 1813, 1814, and 1815; the Indian wars of 1811; the Seminole war of 1835, 1830, <V-e.; and the war known as General Wayne's, of 1702 to 1705, that have uot heretofore been provided for, was made the order for the third Tuesday in June next, and for each succeeding day until disposed of. The rules were suspended for the purpose, bv a vote of 127 to 27. On motion of Mr. Wentwoi th, the rules were suspended, by a vote, on yens and nays, of 145 in the affirmative and 14 in the negative, to introduce a resolution for the appointment of a ?,iii,a in h thorOU<rll VUUJUJUVV.V Vi nn.v y ?V ... ?

The resolution was pas&ed without a division. On motion of Mr. Thompson, of Pa., the rules were suspended, and the House resolved itself into a committe of the whole on the State of the Union, and resumed the consideration of u:ii we census um. Mr. Moore, of Pennsylvania, Clark, Carter, J. H. King of New York, argued in favor of the constitutional power of the federal government to gather the most extensive statistics touching the moral, intellectual and physical condition of the United States. Messrs. Stephens, of Ga , Kaufman, and Woodward ofS. C., argued against the constitutionality of any act for gathering statistics of the property and industry of the country, main turning that the constitution authorized only the taking of the census ot the inhabitants, for the purpose of establishing the basis and quota of representation; hut that if statistics of property were required for the purpose of a direct tax, they could be inure correctly furnished by the States. Mr. Sibly obtained the floor, but yielded to a motion that the committee rise and the House adjourned. 'I he House adjourned at 4 o'clock. Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. Washington, April, 1850. The compromise committee agreed upon their '"I l l fill 1 si report on inursuay i.isr. ine ciiairman, ?ir. Clay, was requested to present the views of the committee to the Senate in u detailed report, and also to prepare the hills in conformity with these views. Mr. Clay, on Friday, retired into the country, 1-iking with him any anienuensis, for the purpose of discharging the duty. He is at the residence of Mr. Calvert, near this city. There are to he hut three hills, as I understand. The first hill embraces California, the Territoral government, and the Texan proposition, thus disposing of all these topics in one act. The second hill alters and amends the fugitive slave act of 18D7, jn such a manner as to give effect to the constitutional provisions on the subject and at the same time to comply with the reasonable feeling and opinion of the North eni people. The provisions are simple and efficient. The third bill exteuds the law of Maryland, as it existed five years ago over this District, and by the provisions of the same, the slave marts of this District will be broken uo, and the introduction of slaves for sale prohibited. Here is the California scheme. It was agreod to unanimously?at least no dissent was expressed by any of tho committee. I am confi dent that it will be supported by two-thirds of the South. The amount of United States stock transferred to foreigners during the week ending yesterday was 8030,000. Nearly a million was transferred to foreigners during the las fortnight, and at an advance of at least eighteen per cent The California fever has reached the public offices in this city, and a stampede is threatened " he twelve hundred clerks.

Mr. Clayton has j appointed Mr. Walsh, who was formerly charge . de affairs in Brazil, to the vacancy. i THE COMPROMISE. All the compromises which have ever been i 1 ?t.? nnnctinn hlLVH liOPll U!7aillSt I Iliauc UII UIU aimvij -Qthe South. We are sick of compromises.? ; They have heretofore been made, ostensibly, j and perhaps, in reality, to preserve the Union. As much opposed to them as we are, we would nevertheless be willing to make another. Thai which has been foreshadowed from Washington, we esteem 110 compromise at all, except on the part of the South. The North would yield uothing but a preposterous pretention. She has no right to exclude slave-holders, from the new territories. Hence, in waiving the passage of a Wihnot Proviso, she merely yields the exercise of the power of in >gh', not right, not just ice, not a Constitutional prerogative ! In the first place it is proposed to admit California, as now organized, and seeking admission info the Union, as a sovereign State. Of course that will be against the South. Next, it is proposed to pay Texas a sum of money in consideration of her yielding her claim to New Mexico, cast of the Rio Grande, to the General Government. That will, of course, he against the South, for she will contribute her portion of the millions to 1k? paid, to make New Mexico a territory, only to be admitted, after a while, as another free State, to add to the political strength opposed to the South. Southern men, who can favor that, if they are disposed to maintain the rights of the South, will have to give up common sen'se and practical reflection *to some magic spell, the origin and influence of which is beyond our limited comprehension. We can nrnAil fn rocnlt frnm lilorii acc uui iiujc kwu iv | 0 stringent laws for the recovery of fugitive slaves. If sovereign States will interpose to prevent their recovery now, in violation of the Constitution, will they be more apt to yield to a mere law, passed by Congress, under that instrument, which is now the supreme law of the land. Yet we would be glad to see the law passed. To abolish the slave trade in the Disrict of Columbia, as proposed, is certainly not a very friendly comment to the institution of the South. What good will it do the South to establish territorial governments in New Mexico and Deseret, maintaining silence us to slaverv, when O - w?41.

This is the feast to which the South i.s invited, by the terms of compromise which we find floating about in the papers. These propositions may inspire some with the divincst flights of hope, and joy, ami admiration. They cannot aiiect us in that manner, for, we simply ask, what will the South gain by them ? and the reply is?nothing.

Surgical Operation iiv Dr. Mott.?-We find the following brief report of an operation by Dr. Mott, at the University, a few days ago, in Noah's Times: A young man had a tumor growing out of one of his nostrils. Jt came, in time, to till the whole cavity, and so extensively and firmly attached, that it was impossible to null it out with forceps, as is done with polypi. The worthy professor put on his considering cap, and studied out an operation; and then, to make all sure, lie jmrformed on a dead body. Satisfied of its practicability he began, l'irst, he made a straight incision from the inner corner of the eye to the mouth, through the upper lip: then dissected the llesh from the hone, so as to turn all the tleshy part of the nose over upon the other side of the face. This done, lie sawed through the bone, and by a nice piece of carpenter work, laid open the whole extent of the nostril. The tumor was now exposed, cut loose and easily extracted, and the patient got well, without any disfigurement, but a line where the tleshy parts were re-united. This was an ingenious, hold, and most successful operation. "What a censorious liar!" exclaimed old .Mrs. Partington, as she read in a certain newspaper an account of a new counterfeit which was said to contain three women and a bust of Washington 011 each end. "What," said she, "General Washington on a 'bust,' 'tis not so," and the old lady lilted her specs and declared she had known the old gentleman for the last thirty years and she never heard of his being on 1 I. 1 !iL j I a mi si?inucn ifss wmi mra: wuhiku, A Nkw Riflk--P.

Congressional Convention. On Monday next the Delegates from the vari- j ous Districts meet at Camden to elect two delegates to the Nashville Convention from this Congressional District. We hope they will select men who feel the importance of the trust, and will not be afraid to act. We want no .men there who can be lulled to repose by such doctrine as was contained in Webster's speech, or that are too fond of the popular " Nationality." We should know no "nationality" unless coupled with "equality," and love no Union which compromises our rights. Pass the Nashville Convention, and like the bird when the trap has fallen, we may expect the tender mercies of the fowler. May-Day. May-Day has come and gone again. With its glittering sunlight and fragrant flowers, it threw its charm over earth as an angel glance from the fount of light,?a beautiful sentence in the book of time. The storm cloud and chilling winds have hid themselves behiiK 'he heaps of frozen snow, in the icicled North -?d the whistling breath of winter has lost itselt .nto an echo amid the mountain crags. They are gone; and the flowers have come, like earth-stars, to stnile in the gentle face of spring?the bright flowers of May, that hang over the rivulet's stream, and seem to embosom themselves in the silvery wave below; and the zephyrs sigh to the bright shadows they never can reach. Like the zephyr, too, is many a gay and joyous heart bright as the May-Day it is enjoying, and like the zephyr, seeking a shadow. Oh! what a world of smiles and happy thoughts encircle the hours of May-Day! Nature is joyous and glad, and the birds, in their own peculiar language, sing to the sun-rays which bring summer upon their beams. It is natural, then, that the young should be glad to see May-Day. Would that the May-Day of the soul lasted always?that the flowers of thought might never fade. The Nicaragua Treaty. This treaty, which seeins to have Ireen the es oecial business of Mr. Bulwer, we hear was ottered I tQ the Senate on Monday the 22d u!t.

The Nicaragua canal, of necessity, must pass through this territory; and though the privilege of making the canal was guaranteed to the United States by the State of Nicaragua, yet this British' claim interfered?at least in Mr. Clayton's view. The ca rial wumust have: but the question comes up, how far is the British claim to be considered in the matter;?a claim without foundation?highly resembling the right she had to force the Chinese to buy her opiunt. We had received the permission to make the canal from the only power that had any right to permit in the matter. But what has Mr. Clayton surrendered to the English to cancel their mosquito claim, to this Mosguito territory, inhabited by a fi.w thousand mosquito nelrroi's. ruled over hv Sambo Samosa. the mosouito j ' I king?

Daniel Webster was present at a meeting in Boston lately, and made a speech, in which he made the declaration that the slavery agitation was a ghostly phantom.

Henry Clay, jr., son of the gallant Lieut. Col. Clay, of the Kentucky Volunteers, killed at Buena Vista, has been appointed a Cadet in the United Slates Military Academy.

For the Camden Journal ' rMessrs. Editors; I noticed in your papor of tire 26th ult., an article beaded "our railroad and it* new President." The tone of the article seem* captious, and the reasoning altogether unsound. Because the Camden and Columbia accommodation trains do not pay at half price, the President has directed that the rates will be the same as at all other points, viz: 4c. per mile; and for this he is condemned and sneered at. and it is brought against him that he has left a " dark place in the Bank of Charleston," Ac.-Ac. to be placed at the head nf the road?that "lie takes a ride occasion ally,'1 &c.

This is known to every one who lias travelled on the road; and forsooth the citizeu* of Camden, merchants, planters, and others, who have built the road, are asked to let the people of Sumter and Richland travel just tor next tning to noumig. The question is asked, was this road made to accommodate the peqple, or make dividends for the stockholders 1 I say that the road was built lor the convenience of all within its rauge, and to pay dividends; but certainly not for the rzcfturvebenefit of those who have done nothing towards its construction, and surely not to carry the legitimate trade of Camdeu to Columbia. A Considerable Stockholder. For llie Camden Journal. Messrs. Editort:?In continuing my remarks on traits of character, &c., permit me to say something of New York. TUatState was early settled by the Datch, whose religion was rather of an easy kind. Their object was to make money and aiuass great wealth?and as their religions notions were moderate, so were their politics; and when they were forced to fight, it was always owiug to their northern or southern neighbors that they were brought into the scrape; their disposition was essentially peaceable. They cared but little for measures, but went strong for their popular men,of whieh, *1 1 1 montf IHuittt ItMl OUllC una IICWI Jiurviuocu muiij. iin>M politicians might and did tako every point of the political compass, and yet lie sustained by the people; and they have wonderfully sustain* cd this character to the present time ? witness Martin Van Bureu, who was ope while a Northem man with Southern principles; now he is ft Northern man with'no principles atoll, but still he is about as popular in New York as ever he was. See, also, the difference in the coursed pursued by Seward and Dickinson in the pre*^ ent Congress; hot it is all right with the NewYorkers. The masses know nothing nor care nothing for politics. The one,a heterogeneous mass, from all parts of the world, and will forever remain aliens and-strangers to all that is beautiful iu a free government la a foreign war with any power whatever, that State could he relied on; hut iu a difficulty amoug the States, no calculation whatever can be made on her. Her geographical position might tie her to New England; hut she has not the elements of religious fanaticism in Iter to m^kelmr willing to engage in war against the South. Indeed, if her leading men were such as Dickinson is, they could carry the State for the Sooth and the Constitution with all ease. . 1 ^ ? -AAl.J I T1 - Maryland was nrsi stuiw ojr tuwiuuvauiv lies, and was perhaps the first spot on the globe where true and free religions toleration was granted.
