CONGRESSIONAL. Washington, August 6th. Mr. Clemen's resolutisn instructing the Military Committee to inquire into the expediency of conferring the Brevet rank of titautenat Genera! on Major General infield Scott, in consideration of his eminent services, was taken up and adopted. Mr.

Pearce's Bill in relation to Texas boundary was taken up. Mf. Foote moved to postpone its consideration until to-morrow, and then make it the special order of the debate Carried. The Bill for the admission of California was then taken up. offered an amendment to divide California by lineof36 deg.

30 min. and to remand the State Constitution back to California meanwhile te allow her one delegate in Congress, bnt no Senator. A message was then leceived from the President of the United States in relation to the boundary trouble of Texas and New Mexico. The President alludes in Bell's letter to the Texan members of Congress, and says: That portion of the Territory east of the Rio Grande has been regarded as belonging to New Mexico. '41 thinks the exigency that has arisen in the affairs of Texas and New Mexico may require an extra session of Congress.

He alludes to his official position and duties hi President, to enferce the laws of the United States. lie sivs he will enforce these laws, end thinks this is a case in which he is to call the militia into service, as well as to employ the services of the regular army and navy. Texas, as a State, can employ military force to suppress her own insurrections, but her power is local, and she has no authority which can conflict with the laws and the rights of the United States, lu this case Texas is an intruder, and she will be treated as such. The President, in his message, takes decided ground that the territory in dispute, east of the Rio Grande, belongs to New Mexico, and for that reason he must pro-tact it from the invasion of Texas or any other Slate. He gives the treaty with Mexico, which estends the laws of the United States over the territory east of the Rio Grande.

The treaty does not determine explicit' what is the boundary of Texas, but that it is his opinion, after a careful investigation, that he will continue to regard said territory as a part of New Mexico until Congress jsettUs the Question to the contrary. He deprecates any collision between the parties themselves, or with the United Stales but he must and will do his du ty. No tinvernment can be provided for New Mexico until the dispute is settled. He doubts the expediency of appointing commissioners to run the line between Texas and New Mexico. He resrets the oroloneation of the con- test in Honsrress to the exclusion of other k-iclnncre nn.t trusts it will be disposed of before Congress acjnurns.

Washington, August 7, Tha accomnanvine documents were then rend. Mr. Fillmoce's letter to Gov. ftell. savs that the General Government had authorized Col.

Monroe to comply with the wishes of the people of New ex to issue a proclamation for a State Jovernment, by the oraer ot tee secretary fVV nr. doled the 19th of Nov. last, but to take no part in the proceedings except in accordance with the desire of the people of New Mexico. Col. Monroe acted in bis civil capacity as ordered above; and that proclamation nfih.

uMtivA was annreved. as it pro vides nothing but what the Constitution and the laws of Texas authorize. The President approves the course of Prss Polk and Gen. Kearney; he thinks that the treaty bore ihem out in their proceedings, and they will be followed by the present Administration. President Taylor thought the people ought to form a Stale Government and be admitted; hence the order of the 19th of Nov.

npon which Col. Monroe's proclama-. lion was based. He though Col. Monroe's proclamation could affect neither the title i of the United States nor that of Texas.

The action of the people there, or of the officers of the Government, could not im-r pair the original question of boundary this was a question to be determined by Congress. The design of Taylor was to secure the peace of the country, and so ike wise is that of the present Executive. The futher reading of the document was on motion dispensed with, and the Senate resumed the consideration of the California bill. Mr. Clay at Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, August 8. Mr. Clay, arrived here last evening, en route for Newport, to-recruit his health. On landing, he was enthusiastically re- ceived by his friends. He was accompanied in a carriage by Ex-Mayor Swift, to the American Hotel, where the muliitude outside called for Mr.

Clay. He responded, and after beiig saluted with nine cheers, spoke as follows: "Gentlemen: 1 feel greatly obliged for the Triendly salutation. I have never visited Philadelphia but with pleasure, and here always met with quite a cordial wel- Cheers. At this moment an omnibus driver attempted force his way through the crowd, but was stopped. "That said Mr.

Mr. Clay resun.el: shuuld hnve been much' more happv rould I have congratu lated you on the doinfes of the body of which I am a member; but I regret to say that I have done nothing of moment on the general question which has occupied so -much time and created so dpep a feeling throughout the Republic, Ures of "True, ah, too But we must never despair. of the Republic.

Foreign Newg. Halifax, August G. The Cambria arrived nt 1 o.clock. TheTortuguese Government having declined to ncceed to the demands of the American Minister, he has demanded his bassport. The American squadron is still in Tun-giers.

Mr. Clny intended to leave Lisbon on the 19ih. The death of President Taylor has produced great sensation in England. Several leading Journals devote much space to review his character and exploits. Tha American citizens of London have held a meeting, which the American Minister presented a series of highly patriotic resolutions, expressive of their sense of the great loss the country has sustained, aifll their sympathy with his family, which were passed.

England. The political news from England posses on feature of importance. In Parliament the Ministry has sustained two more defeats on their own measures, and have abandoned the Jew's emancipa tion bill and ihe Marriage act. The Potato blight is said to have appear ed both in England and Ireland, it is saio. to be unmitigated in its effects, and is begin- ninor to ha felt in the corn market, not withstanding some crops present a goou harvest.

Denmark and Germany. Actual hos tilities have commenced betweon Denmark and the Dutchies ihe Collon having been declared in a state of blockade. There was an action between a Danish man-of-war and a German steamer, in which the former suffered considerable and was fore ed to retreat. The hostile armies on land, ot the last dates, were face to fuce, and as tha King of Denmark intends coercion and is strongly backed, there remains no doubt but that a severe conmci win cuuo. Accident-Death of Commodore Jones.

New York, August 5th. About half past 1 this P. the rear of the large five story brick store, occupied by Messrs. Hovt Curriers, 40 Spruce- slreot.tumbled to ihe earth wth a tremendous crash, burying in Ihe ruins some 15 persons workmen in the employ of Hoyt Co. It was known that many were alive under the the cries of agony that issued from various quarters of the weighty mass.

Four persons have been excavated reporter has not been able to learn their names. No person on the spot could identify them, so terribly bruised were they. Laborers are hard at work, digging away ihe rubbish and there are hopes that others will be rescued alive. The reason of the giving away wa3 the digging awv the foundation, by contractors for a new was in process of erection next doar. Exaggerated reports are in circulation as to the number of persons killed; but we be-lieve our reporter has stated the facts.

Commodoie Jones died in Philadelphia, on Saturday last, after a lingering illness. He stood nearly first on the post of captains.

Soon after Kossuth appeared ot Widden, in Turkey, thereappeared in the English and American papers, what pretended to be a farewell proclamation of theGovernor to his countrymen, which many supposed ot the time to be a forgery. He now pronounces it to be so. and in a letter to the correspondent of the Journal of Commerce at Constantinople, dated Kutahya, June 14th, says: "1 cannot conceive how any one could have been so base as to usurp my name and to prostitute it before the world by such a vile imposture. "I declare upon honor that I had no part in it and no knowledge of the whole proclamation; and that it is totally suppositious, false and apocryphal. "I not only authorize you, sir, but pray you to make publicly kown this my declaration through the periodical press of America, in the manner you shall judge most convenient." A Dreadful Execution.

A notorious outlaw on the Texian frontier, named Bill Hardy, was recently executed by Lynch-law for the murder of Copt. Bren-nan. The only provocation which Hardy had for committing the deed of blood, was ihe refusal of Brennan to let him have money. The people met, and having the wretch in custody, selected a spot and resolved to hang him. Hardy boldly avowed the deed, and exhibited the utmost indifference the fate which he knew awaited him merely expressing a preference for shooting rather than hanging.

The rude executioners of tho sammary code were unable to tie the cord in the professional knot, and Hardy volunteered ihe performance of this feat, and even offered to do it a second time, when the first one had been untied in order' to ascertain if there had been no cheat in the first place. He was mounted upon a cart, the rope placed about his neck, and ho was then swung off into eternity; evincing throughout the preliminaries and the execution itself the utmost recklessness and indifference to his fate. Virtues of Milk. It is a most perfect diet.

It contains lactic acid or the acid milk, which chemists inform us is the acid of the gastric juice, so requisite for the proper dissolving our food in the stomach. It is therefore obvious that milk should be chemically correct in all and that Us beneficial effects on the constitution should oot be neutralized by adulteration it is.

Elections have taken place for State officers and members of Congress in a number of States since the coming in of the present month. North Carolina and Tennessee held their elections on the 1st, and Missouri, Illinois, Iovva, Indiana, and Alabama on the 5th inst.

As yet but few returns have been received. In Missouri the returns indicate a result that was to be anticipated form the divisions in the Democartie ranks. The whigs have doubtless carried the State. In North Carolina, heretofore the stronghold of whiggery, the people have set the seal of condemnation upon the Galphinites. Reed, the Democratic candidate for Governor, is elected, and the democrats have a majority in the Legislature.

We have no news from other States. Census 1850: Agricultural Statistics.

It is an old saying that "circumstances alter cases," and never was this saying more fully verified than in the recent change of tone of the whig papers. For some months prior the death of President Taylor they denounced all those who favored the Compromise in opposition to the President's plan of settling the territorial question, as being false to freedom. Among this number was Daniel 'Webster and ether mem of the new Cabinet, all of whom are now highly eulogised by these same whig papers. Verily, 'circumstances alter cases Bank at Youngstown. "We learn by the last Republican that the required a-mount of stock has been taken and the organization of a 'labor-shaving' machine effected ia Youngstown.

7 The weather for the past week has been extremely hot and for the most part dry and favorable for securing the crops. Still it Comes: The glitering ore is continually pouring into the States from the Pacific border, and the 'bowels' of the earth are constantly yielding up their rich treasures. The Cherokee arrived at New York a few days ago with $2,094,298 60 in gold as freight, and $400,000 in the hands of passengers She brings news that the existence of gold in Oregon is now certain, and it has been dis covered in abundance. That which is now exhibited shews an entirely different char acter to any dug in California. It contains large quantities of Platina, and is said to be of a richer character.

The Georgia also arrived at N. Y. about the same time as the Cherokee, and she, too, brought a large amount of gold. The amount brought by these two arrivals will not probably fall short of $3,000,000. The announcement of the discovery of new and rich Placers, and of the arrival of large quantities of gold, have become too frequent to excite a 'profound sensation' in the public mind.

But the fact that the great and unprecedented influx of the precious metals produces so little effect upon the specie circulation of the country, should excite inquiry if not surprise. When will there be a sufficient amount of gold and silver in the country to afford an adequate specie currency for the transaction of its business? So long as the people heed the voice of the bankers and their advocates, and continue a miserable swindling paper currency, never. It needs no argument to show that the continuance of a paper currency will forever prevent the people of Ohio from obtaining their share of the specie. Every day demonstrates it. Gold is flowirfg into the country almost by ship loads, and yet the bankites continue to deceive the people with the cry that there is not specie enough to do our business, and thus they are enabled to fatten upon the industry of the people This modern Ophir might pour the entire wealth of its soil upon our shore, and still we should hear the same deceptive cry.

The Galphins stiil at Work. A correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing from Washington under date of the 27th thus speaks of the efforts of the Galphin crew to ostracize tho Hon. Elisha Whittlesey, of this Stateor having dared to discharge his duty faithfully in resisting their daring robberies of the Treasury: "I hare learned from an undoubted source, that a desperate effort is to be made to have Hon. lLha Whittlesey rejected as First Controller by the Senate. The Gal- phinites are the principal movers in the dis creditable persecution and it will be lor the people to determine whether a vigilant, honest and upright public man, is to be sac rificed, because he has defended the public treasury from being thrown open to every old claim, and all sorts of demands for ex tra mileage, that could be made upon it That man does not live, who dares '4to call in question the spotless integrity, and fidelity to the Government, of Elisha Whittlesey.

And if, because the public of ficer defends and protects the interests of the Government against both illegal and most extravagant demands he is to be hunted down in this way, unless he tamely sub mits to do what his conscience and his judgement condemns, the sooner the doors ot the treasury are thrown open to shameless plunder, the better it will be. If Mr, Whittlesey is rejected, it will be for no oth er reason on earth than I have named: and the very fact that the Galphinites are the leaders in pursuit after him should secure his unanimous confirmation. Mr. Whit tlesey will not depart an iota from the strict path of his duty, if by so doing, he could jpcure a place ot ten times the mag nitude, both as regards compensation and honor' 03-The Cleveland Plain Dealer tells the following good story of a most ludicrous mistake committed by Judge Johnston, the whig candidate for Governor, during a recent speech in that city: Mistook the It is' well known the Cincinnatians wonted to get rid of a certain judge, and it is equally known they did lhat same by foisting him upon the universal whig party as their candidate for Governor. It was a capital take ofF(lhe bench) and a capital transfer to the stump, in which vocation this whig candidate enacts some most capital things.

Mistaking popular intelligence, he calculates by certain rustic npperances, such as coarse boots, a bull's eye watch, and a shocking bad hat, to win popular applause. Such efforts to appear common are unnecessary in would bo Governor Johnston. The see as far into a mill-stone ns he. It appears that this would be-Goyernor has a double set of implements by which he hopes to gull the people. In contrasting silk stocking whiggery with his stogy democracy in his speech at the court house the other da', he made allusion to the dandy tribe who sport ruffled shirts and gold patches, and by way of contrast attempted tp exhibit his own plain timekeeper; but instead of pulling the bull's eye, his electioneering democratic watch, he got into the wrong pocket and flourished a gold lever before the audience.

"Jabe" says he left instanter As Judge Johnson is to spread himself before the people of Old Portage on Thursday, we hope he will not fail to enlighten them in regard to one thing as to which they are now in the fog--that is: Do the whig party justify the Galphen swindle, and approve the plundering of the Treasury of hundreds of thousands of dollars by Ewing, Crawford Co? The whig press of the State seem loth to unbosom themselves upon this subject and define the position of their party. The people will be glad to be informed of the position of Ohio whiggery upon this subject from the standard bearer of their party. The Board of Health of Cleveland report deaths of cholera in that city, for the veek endi ng Saturday, at 5 o'clock P. M. An Objection Answered.

"One of the principal objections urged by whigs and bankers to the return to the Constitutional currency of gold and silver the only currency that possesses intrinsic value and that defrauds no man is, that there is not specie enough in the country with which to do its business; and many an honest la borer has been half frightened out of his senses by the miserable pretence and buga boo story of the bankers and their advo cates and apologists, that the democrats were seeking to depress the wages of labor to the standard of laber in foreign countries where the labor markets are overstocked, and where capital has supreme control yer it, as it soon will have in this country unless the power of the Legislature is soon interposed to prevent the plundering of la bor by combinations of capital under the flimsy and false pretext of augmenting the price of productions and increasing the re ward of industry. What is most surpns1 ing is that while the banks are reaping the rich harvest of 16 and 20 per cent, upon dead unproductive capital, without the ap plication of labor, the investment of a like amount of capital in agricultural and mechanical pursuits, with the requisite amount of physical and mental labor to manage it and carry on the business in which is em ployed will not net a proGt of more than 4 or 6 per cent, per annum, and laborers are receiving barely the means of present subsistence, so many of them should be so anxious to be deceived by the syren song of the money lords into the belief that banks are instituted for the benefit of the peopl or that they caji by possibility result to their advantage. And yet, so much influ ence has this hollow-hearted pretence, that 'there is not enough specie in the country to do its had, that notwithstanding the people have been most severely fleeced in times gone by, yer thousands are anxious to nourish the viper that has stung them. Ihe 1 oledo Republican, reply to an article in the Detroit Tribune, in few words answers this flimsey objection and shows that the people can as well bave a specie currency as a miserable rag one. The Re publican says: "The Tribune says there is not banking capital sufficient in half of the state of Mich igan.

Ibis is a great error ot the Inbune s. The surplus wheat of the Western States sells for specie currency, in the Eas'ern cit ies. It will as readily command eagles and half-eagles, as bank paper. The only rea son why coin does not now into Michigan and the Western states, to the extent of their surplus, is that the banks intercept its now into the hands or the farmers, substi tuting depreciated and doubtful paper money, for gold and silver. The banks get the gold or silver, and the people get a ly ing representative of it.

We will thank the Tribune to inform the public how the increase of paper money in Michigan is to add to the value of the surplus products of that State: lour surplus sells for com. Why is the agency of paper money, in the slightest manner, necessary to aid the far mers in obtaining the full value of their products? Exchange agents, or private bankers, as welt as forwarding and com mission merchants are necessary and legit imate agencies in transporting produce from the bands of the producer to the consumer, but paper money banks, have heretofore, in Michigan and other Western states performed no other part than to rob the producer of his earnings." Prominent among the reasons urged by the advocates of the Ohio banking system was, that it would furnish a currency "at all times convertible into specie? And how has this promise been redeemed? Not a bank in the State that issues its paper to be circulated in the vicinity where the institution issuing it is located, and a person having bills upon another bank can only obtain specie by paying a premium of 1J or 2 per cent and the bank of which he seeks to obtain the specie may have exchanged its own notes for those- which he has, in order to get them in circulation as far from home as possible. This is the way in which the banks accommodate the people and furnish a currency "easily con vertible into specie!" We heard of a farmer the other day, who had spent two or three days in endeavoring to exchange only three hundred dollars of other Ohio bank paper for the bills oi the bank at this place, that he might obtain that amount of specie without having to sacrifice five or six dollars to the bank Shylocks to obtain the currency of the Constitution. We venture to say that the same thing may be undertaken by any other individual and the same difficulty will be encountered he will have to spend two oi three days to obtain the small sum of two or three hundred dollars in paper that will command specie, in order to save five or six dollars of his hard earnings from the elutches of the money changers, who are thus fattening upon the industry of ihe toilers of the State. Is not this a beautiful specimen of a "convenient and cheap currency," one "easily converted into gold and silver" Would it not be better for the producers to exchange this kind of a currency for the currency of the Constitution, that when they sell the products of their toil, they may obtain that which 'rust will not corrupt" and no part of which the bank thieves will be enabled to steal? A bill has passed the Canadian House of assembly, which exempts all exchange pa-pers and papers to subscribers either in the United States or the Provinces, from postage.

It also fixes the postage per half ounce on letters passing throughout the entire continent at five cents, and on letters through the Provincefor Englsnd at four cents, as at present adjusted by Parliament, For the Portage Sentinel.

Brainerd Secretary. Franklin Glass Works. We took a turn last week through the new Glass works of the Messrs. Kenis in the Village of Franklin. These works are projected on an extensive scale.

The structures are all built of brick are spacious, and constucted in the most substantial manner. All the modem improvements in the manufacture of Glass, have been introduced and everything is arranged in the best possible manner for turning out glass of the first quality. The fires have now been kept up in the furnaces for about three weeks, and it is expected that the present week, the process of blowing will commence. These works, when in full blast, will turn out four thousand feet of glass per day, finished for the market, and will employ from thirty to fifty hands the year round. These works are well worth visiting.

Ohio Star. Wool Trade in Franklin. The amount of wool purchased at Franklin Mills tho present season, we learn upon inquiry of the different purchasers, is 60 UUU pounds exhibiting a small increase, if we remember aright over the purchases of lost year. Ohio Star. The Ohio Wheat Pile.

No Stato in the Union can show so great a pile of wheat this year as Ohio. In 1840 she raised over fifteen million of bushels. In 1850, none estimate the crop at less than twenty five millions. It proves to be of an extra quality as well as quantity. So far as the grain has reached a market, north or south, it has been found to weigh uniformly, from sixty three to sixty five lbs.

to the bushel. This gives Ohio a surplus sufficient to bread one half of Christendom. Our corn and potato crop bid fair to hold their fair proportion to the wheat. Plain Dealer. Western Reserve Chronicle is down upon the loco foco anti-bank men of Ohio like a thousand of brick.

It thinks the whole State should be plastered over with banks. Parker is one of the kind who believes in the doctrine, that the more special privileges which are granted to the few, the greater the blessing to the toiling masses: let the legislature take care ot wealth and capital, and wealth and capital will take care of labor! He also adheres te the idea, (we suppose,) that "the higher the tariff the lower the price" of imported articles, to the consumer. Wonder if he remembers the currency resolutions adopted by the free soil convention held in Columbus in '48 or'49. We hopeour friends of the "Democrat" Will stir up that same old coon.

The editor of tho Cincinnati Atlas ia now rusticating in Cbillicothe. After giving his opinion lhat ihe next census of Ohio will show a population of 2,200,000, he expresses our sentiments in tho following manner: "'In 1870, Ohio must according to tha present current of commerce, and internal improvement, be decidedly the most popttlar State of the American Union. New York and Ohio will each then contain more than four millions; bul Ohio will be ahead. No other State can compete with Ohio, for reasons which can be easily explained. The main one' is that no other State in the Union contain as much aliment in the bosom of her soil, upon which either to feed or employ her people.

(Qp Since the defeat of the Compromise bill, tbe admission of California is the leading question in Congress. The ultra Southerners will seek by every mean to deafest the accomplishment of the mea-ure, but, as we conceive, with no chance of success.

Doubtless every member of either branch from the North will vote for the admission, and with Benton and Clay, who will go for it, it will have a majority in the Senate. After the wordy war of eight months, this measure ought not to be longer delayed the question should be immediately brought to a vote. Her Senator and Representatives are at the capitol, with, a republican constitution asking and this useless delay is unjust to the people of that region. 8ing Sin? Prison New "Tort, August 9.
