" Congress. Washington, July 20. HjjjjF Senate.?Mr. Hunter reported back the Injt ; dian Appropriation Bill with amendments. Mr. Charlton, in behalf of his colleague, Mr. |*r Dawson, moved that the Senate take up the bill ? . " from the House for the relief of the legal" representatives of Gen. James C. Watson, of Georgia, compensating them for certain negroes taken bv the Creek Indians dining the Seminole war. Mr. Suiuner objected to the motion ; the Sena tor from Ohio, Mr. Chase, who was now absent, had prepared an elaborate argument against tne bill, and desired to be hoard. Mr. Rusk said the question which the Senar ;. tor intended to raise, viz : the right of property in slaves, did not arise in this case; he would !' therefore vote to take up the bill as an act of p courtesy to Mr. Dawson, who had change of this bill, and who had been summoned to the bedside of a dying son and was anxious to leave. fMr. Sumner renewed his objections, and the debate was continued. Mr. Charlton's motion was then agreed to The bill was then taken up, and was without ?? ' . one word of objection, passed. The Senate then took up the resolution cf Mr. Weller to refer to a select committee of five Senators the charges filed against Mr. Bartlett, the present commissioner to run the Mexican bounderv. Mr. Clarke addressed the Senate in defence of Mr. Bartlett against the charges, contained m i t " the speech ot Mr. Weller some time since. He had not concluded when the Senate adJ journed. House of Representatives.?A joint resolution authorising the transmission of the Cons' gressional Globe by mail, free of postage, was taken up and passed. m Tlie ayes and noes were ordered on a resolu tion or supplying members of the present Con* gress with such books as have hitherto been supplied those of previous Houses, which was jt>; '"'-r . carried?yeas 67, nays 49. f Mr. Harris, of Tenn. moved the suspension of the rules to take up the resolution from the Senate, relative to the adjournment, upon which the yeas and nays were ordered, which was negatived |???t ; ?yeas 107 ; nays 60, there not being tw.-thirds 2%- : in the affirmative. On motion to suspend the rules, for the pur pose of taking up a bill, authorising an appropriation of public lands for the benefit of indigent insane persons, the yeas and nays were again taken, and it was negatived ; yeas 53, nays 100.

The House then went into committee of the whole on the state of the Union, and again took up the Harbor and River bill; when a variety of amendments were submitted of no general interest whatever, but of local objects, and successively negatived. Mr. Walsh, of Md., was the last speaker before the committee rose, who defended the com ? B6lfa mal'iAd ik-etl ci^npVyiVit': the appropriations were strictly constitutional, and said that if gentlemen desired a vote on the ? *" bill, they would cease to present issues. The committee then rose, and the chairman reported that nothing had been done. Mr. Jones, of Tenn. moved that the five minutes rule be suspended in relation to the Harbor and River bill, and that all debate terminate in committee at one o'clock to morrow, and that i the rules of the House be suspended in order to have a vote on the resolution. It was moved that the House adjourn, which was negatived?yeas 59, nays G2. The motion to suspend the rules was then put and negatived?yeas GO, nays 44 ; not two-thirds voting hi the affirmative; and there being no j quorum voting, the House adjourned. The Vote of South Carolina.?Presidential Clceloi*. We copy the following well-timedjmd well- j written article from the last Ken wee Courier.? j The Courier is published at Pickens C. II., and may be regarded as expressing the opinions of the independent and intelligent yeomanry of that ! mountain district; not only so, but of the whole i upper country: We have often Ijeen asked within the last two i weeks if South Carolina would ca?t her vote for the Democratic nominees; and have as repeat-1 edly said, we have no doubt about it. Our rea-! <2 ,ft. Oomlmo 5c I ....fin K?- 1 SV/llO aiC) uvuui vmviiiiu JO lyvmwiawv an overwhelming majority; and Frank Pierce will represent her political creed fully on this head.? ! In regard to his policy on the slavery question, we have no hesitation in saying that he is the best the South can do, and will, if el< cted throw his name and influence against any ai'cmpt hv any section to create agitation, or disturb any of the compromises of the Constitution. If tin- Electors were chosen by the people we think that Pierce and King would carry South Carolina ten to one. But, unfortunately, the Legislature has to elect for us, and though there is in our opin- I ion more uncertainty in the vote of this body,; yet we believe that the State will vote for the nominees. We see no reason why our State should stand aloof and have neither part nor lot in any of the Federal affairs; as long as we are in the Union tat nc or?t nrul tlm hr?ct r?f nnr tat Hut we are here met with the assertion that wc can do no good for ourselves or any body else by entering into the Presidential election, <>r contiuu ing our representation in Congress. We believe not a word of it, and we have but little sympathy in common with those who say they have determined on their course, and that let others do as they may, as for their part, they will neither vote for a member of Congress, nor take any part whatever in Federal affairs; or, in short, that they individually have seceded, and have, s<> Unas they are concerned, set up in and for tln-m selves an independent government. That tin-pare any in our State who take such a cours.-is tinresult of the Legislature transacting all tin- Fed eral business for the people, doing nil the \.?nnir and making every four years , IV id ?; r : them.

We hope that the time is rapidly ncaring when the people will have their rights given them, and shall, as freemen cast their own votes for President and Vice President. More of Kossuth.?Some of our exchanges seem- determined to revive the fading memories of the great Maguyar in the minds of the people. The New-York Times ha\ing intimated that Kossuth did not leave the United States under the alias of Alexander Smith, and insinuated that the Courier of that city charged him with leaving the country without paying his debts, and expressed the hope that with respect to the payment of debts the editor of the Courier and Enquirer will always be as prompt in that way, as Gov. Kossuth has undoubtedly been. The Courier now replies: "we not only reiterate all we wrote in regard to the manner of Kossuth's tight, his alias, <fcc., <fec., but we state further for the information of the Times, that he did not settle his bill with his land lady quite as satisfactorily as we had supposed. And we would also inform the organ of Kossuth, that he deliberately assured his landlady he was going to Jersey city, to stay until Saturday with a friend, and that she must take the sum he off-red or commence a suit at Law! And this too, within a J quarter of an hour of his going on board the steamer and sailing from our shores under the r.f a i ,1?.. | C/(fUO \J 1 VJillllll. >/ ><?.,I. *?/ luitwi*. V?. Kossuth cone off verv Sunodfnlv.?The great Magyar lias taken his departure from our shores suddenly and unceremoniously. "We knowhe was preparing to return to Europe?a sadder and a wisher, but hardly a richer man than when lie left it?and his own journals announced that his departure was to take place on Saturday next, by the steamship Washington. It seems, however, that this was all a ruse, designed to mislead the public on both sides of the Atlantic, as he presented himself on board the Africa yesterday, at the last moment, in the most private manner, in company with Madams Kossuth, and his aid, Colonel Bethlen, and without the previous knowledge, as we learn, of Mr. Cunard, or any of his clerks, and departed in her for Liverpool. We li ave not learned that any particular reaI son existed for this unexpected movement, but the probability-is that Kossuth was not able to effect certain money arrangements to complete the payment for his rusty muskets and useless saddles; and we are somewhat inclined to this supposition, because we have heard that he was trying to raise money to arrange these matters. It is, therefore, probable that he slipped off to avoid a legal issue between him and some of the Kossuth speculators who fleeced and defrauded I.!.., Tin.

Y. Here 1:1. ? -O One of tic most zealous of the Massachusetts journals in the intcrtost of General Scott, the Boston Atlas, ventures to aflirm that all occasion fyr discussing any question growing out of I the existence of slavery in this country is at an j end. After referring tirst to tlfe Missouri Compromise, and then to the admission of. Texas as I one of the States of the American Union, the | ' Atlas proceeds to say : "The third and hist gicat epoch arose out of acquisition of territory conquered from Mexico. That having been settled, whether right or wrong we have no desire now to discuss, we can see no prospect of a renewal of the discussion, and we believe that the billows of contention which arose mountain high while the storm raged, are fast subsiding, and indeed have already subsided into a peaceful calm. There are now remaining only a f'-w agitators in Massachusetts and Georgia, who arc doing what they can to renew the con troversy for their own supposed political and pecuniary advantage; but when compared witli the great mass of the people, they are as insignificant in numbers, as their object is despicable and base." This passage is quoted, our readers will please i to observe, from a journal which, not very long since, showed some zeal in maintaining frcesoil opinions. W.e cannot allow k to pass without, one or two remarks. There is every prospect, not of a renewal, for | that is not the true term, hut of a continuance of, the discussion, as long asony attempts arc made to enforce the fugitive slave law. The discussion seems, for the time, to have been silenced in Congress, but it is not. silenced elsewhere. Every pursuit of a black fugitive into the free , .St ites rekindles tin- controversy in all its original heat, and nothing hut the absolute distie tudc of that law will quiet public opinion on that point. Of the two millions of persons who have read " Uncle Tom's Cabin," we suppose there is not one who has not, in some way, mingled in the discussion within the last few months. JUit if the cause were removed, there are yet other* which will keep up the discussion as long 1 as the institution exists. Here for example is the question of recognising the independence of I lay ti, which brings into the field a new set of. of controversialists. ] lay ti is one of the best enstourers of the United States and there is a strong coimiK-reinI interest in favor of the recognition of her independence. The measure is zealously opji..Mil by the friends of slavery; it is desired by the friends of commerce. Here is liew and ample matter of discussion. A^am the question winch comes up m the j case of Manuel J'eivla, tin; Ihitish subject itn-j prisoned at Charleston on account of his color is I yet undecided ami may involve u> in serious collision with foreign powers. If t hat were disposed of tin-re still remains the question of slavery in the I ?i>trict of Columbia for the extension of which Congress is tvsposible?;i question which may he brought tip at anv time.

Evening Poet. From the Marion Scar. Sabbatli Schools. There i> noduubt thattlio.se who are disposed to contribute tu the moral improvement of their fellow-creatures, might do much by the estab: fi 11 j|. lisliment and regular attendance or naooam Schools. There are, in almost every neighborhood, children having 110 opportunity to go to school during the week, who, with some instruction on the Sabbath, would make much progress in learning. And far better would it be to appropriate two or three hours to such employment as this, than to spend the whole Sabbath wandering over the country, or gadding from house to house, or sometimes in frivolity which is nothing short of criminal. We are not Sabbatarians; and we have no faith in that religion which puts on a puritanical air one day in seven, and devotes the ctie r six to the god of this world. Bui wv do believe that it proper regard for the welfare, of tin* community would lead many to pass ij.t ir day it: a very different manner from what tin y now do. It is lawful, said the Saviour, to do well on the Sabbath day ; and we invite those who are qualified for the work to consider whether there is not a part of this day, which they cannot employ in u better manner than in the instruction of the children in the neighborhood ? And here, as in other schools, we believe in short lessons well learned. It is better to learn how to spell one word correctly, than halfway to learn a dozen ; it would be of more profit to the children to learn one sentence in the scriptures and have it properly explained to them, than to go cursorily over a whole chapter. iv - ,u. me jiuone reaumg 01 uie scupiaues apiwaio to have been more practiced formerly than it now is. It was the custom of the Jews to read the Pentateuch in their synagogues, and the Talmud in their "schools." And though our Saviour took for his texts the various circumstances by which he was surrounded?the grass and the lily, the vineyard and the sown field, lit tie children, men and women, the sun and the ; rain, joy and sorrow, life and death,?yet he did J not contemn the custom of the age in which lie lived. He himself opened the scrijitures, stood uji and read a portion to the people. At these schools, much useful information as to the geograj'liy of the Holy Lard, the manners and customs of the jieojile, might be agreeably imparted to the children. Children are too apt to regard the incidents and events related j in scripture as having occurred in another, and j to us inaccessible world. Let them know that j the brook of Kedron still flows by Jerusalem, that the. sight of Jericho may still be visited, that the Jordan and the Kison still roll their floods to their resjicctive seas, that the lake of Genesarot still reflects the sky and stars of Galliice from its surface, that Mount Cannel, and ! Lebanon, and Tabor, and Sinai still lift their summits toward heaven. Then as to our moral government, as set forth in the Bible, the principles arc few andsimplo?

Hut they could not be smothered until a large piece of carpet was obtained in which he was enveloped; and even then?the carpet not encircling his head until a pail of water was obtained and dashed upon them. It must have been a full minute from the time of the explosion, before the unfortunate man was released from the scorching fires whieh enebvled him, and then he was found to be bli- ,-ed u , > his toes to his hips.

His cries fot help are represented as being piteous in the extreme, hut before the boats could get to his assistance he was destroyed hv the voracious monster of the deep. It is said that a number of those fish are in our waters, having followed the Cyane when she came in from sea. with several men upon her sick list?their instinct, when there is disease on shipboard prompting them to pursue in the wake in hopes ofpiey.

Secession and co-operation has also been the subject of many and many a column?but what of that ? Why, the result is, that secession is dead, and the chief mourners are laying aside their sable weeds, and looking about for another chance? whilst co-operative secession, is not only dead, but, its poor carcass has been kicked out of every State in the Union.
