M. J. W. the former correspondent of tlic
Charleston Courier, furnishes totho Nashville
Union a spirited nccount of a recent Ball at
the Postmaster General'*, in which she thus
sketches some of the prominent gueetsofthc occasion
:
"And first wc n6k your attention to n very

is "Chartjc dr Affair^*" from tint huge domain
which moves do*vii the inup of lite world us a
glacier moves down the Alps startling the jealous
rivals that watch its course, and granting
pence to the allies that shiver iu its shadow.
These gentlemen add to their influence in our
community, the weight of a liisrh moral estimation.

Aud here, too, we see the steely hearted, bachelor

proof alike against the open attack.-* of brilliant
lashing belles, and the more formidable attempts
of she insidnoua and meek older of sirens
; and twei t, Julia May, who iniirht sing
with her eye#, they are so large and Instrions.
And here, too, is the "Texan Haiiircr," (Major

gentleman in a Hanger's shooting jacket, au>l
who Jolt hero ns if lu- Wei's dressed in a coronet

more remarkable in lier than beauty. (?old and

Washington News.
The following items of Washington news,
we extract from the correspondence of the Charleston
Courit r:
The House has parsed. 1?y a very large vote,
a Joint Ucsohition for the termination of the
session on the first- Monday in June. It may he
doubted whether the House is in earnest. They
have hardly taken tip the regular business of
' the session n<* yet, having been chiefly occupied
by the Kansas dispute, or topics connectfid
with it. If they will act promptly on the
Kansas bill when it shall ootne from the Senate
next Tuesday, they may be ready to adjourn
on the day proposed,
Sereraf new propositions in regard to the admission
r>(Kansas have been offered in each
House; one by Mr. Gilmer, of North Carolina,
provides for the admission of Kansas, without
regard to any constitution which she may pre
ler, so it tie republican m form. Yesterday,
Mr. Montgomery, a Democratic member from
Pennsylvania, introduced a l>ill on leave,
which was referred, on liismolion, to the select
committe of fifteen on IvAiisas alTairs,
'which provides for the admission of Kansas,
and refers the Lccompton Constitution buck to
a convention'cf delegates ami finally t?? Unpeople.
It wns evident that this hill found fa vor
with the majority of the House.
Mr, I.'ugh explained, yesterday, that his a'
'intendment Wns not. intended to mean anything.
. was merely olFcred to stop the clamor, against.
. ' tlie clause in the schedule. No such "amendr
ment wns necessary, and the power lliat made
the Constitution could after, reform or abolish
P-f it nt pleasure. Mr. 1'itirh snoki? in favor of ili?
* admission of Kansas under the Lecoiupton Constitution,
but stated that he should, in obedirncc
to instruction from th e Legislature of
Ohio, vole against it.
The battle of amendment? will l?e foutrht in
the House. If the Kansas admission bill, as
yroposcd hy Mr. Green, of Ma., cannot be pass
cd urtlic I louse, no amended bill can be.
The ebnnoes for the passage of any bill, by
" the House, are becoming wry bad. There are
^ no cIiaii^cs in favor of the Administration on

I (lathing cavalry otlicer?a puny iini', good for I
I a brush, but. too mircliahlu'aud bnwky for tin* j
course. A thorough early training for Mr. [
' 1 hmglas would have impaired his powers o:'
I iiiiiol. Nature educated liim just, as In; is. Mr.
I Sew a I'd, without education and special traini
ing, would have been nothing. This i.s pre1
ciscly the difference in this respect. between
i them. They are hoth now groat men. Air.
! iJ'jUglas is great in positive intellect. He lias
j too some logic, lie is not a scrupulous losrii
cian. lie is a stranger to 1 lie chemical fic-nlty
of analysis. He cares nothing lor premises.
! lie is inditi'erciit to the integrity of argument.
! He is ambitious, like Mr. Seward, and ?vu take i
I it, it is this thai has brought, theiu together. !
They are both travelling to the same licslitm- |
' (ion ; t!iey care not a fig what road they take
I to get there, lu another respect, the difference I
I between Mr. Seward and Mr. Douglas is obvi- j
! oils enough ; the former has less ofthe impulse
j and of collide the greater power of concealment.
Mr. Seward is more of it court i</r. Mr.
Douirlas is most frank and uiaiily and appears
I "...i . :.-i it - i:-> >
partjsuii?in war?in sin ft', when the battle
rages?ami then his intc*lIcj?:1 , his resources, nre
! most available. 1 u these respects Mr. Seward
[ is valueless. Ho will inam-ui'i-e fop a posl'I
tion, nrrnnge nmbuseades and strategic move|
incuts, issue proclamations, excite the passions
; (if the troops commend their eoiirago ami proI
riiise tlu'iu plunder, but somebody else must do
j the fighting. Mr. Seward is remarkable for
. persistence, vigilnuee, patience and for usijig
other people's lalior. Mr. Douglas is self reliant,
courageous, firm and Mr. Douglas finds his
enemies in those who do not agree with him ; |
Mr. Seward finds his friends only in those who
vote with him. Mr. Seward is no dictator. lie
does not owe his elevation to the exercisu of his
will. iNobody fears him. When the storm
! conies, Mr. Sewurd will not he on the tjuarter
