Congressional. The Senate on SaluP day insisted upon the amemdmenis to the Diplomatic Bill. A Conference Commit tee was appointed on that, and tlie Indian Appropriation and Bounty Land Bills. This body amended the Naval Bill, by abolishing flogging in the commercial marine service, and passed it. The House passed the Senate's hill, extending Hie United Stales laws over California.

The Senate's amendments to the Bounty Land Bill, ex-cept the clause allowing bounty to mariners was concurred in; nnd the amendment to the Indian Approprialion bill was rejected. All bills before Committees, not reported, are referred to the next Congress. The Joint Committee of boih Houses have agreed on the extension of the Capitol, and the President is authorized lo select the plan and Superintendents 10 carry the work into execution. There was a personal' renronire in the Senate Hall on Friday night between Senators Foote and Fremont.

In our last, paper we published cull," inviting the people of Monroe and couniies together for the purpose of con- soiling in regard to the extension of the Eusi Tennessee und Georgia Railroad.

We Imve, lit 0110 lime and 0 outlier suid a good deal on tlic subject of the advantage and benefits that its completion would confer up-un the people, not only immediately along llio line of the work, but ol all East Tennessee, However, the day for talking is past, tho time for iiclio'l is ut hand sumo-tiling mi re tangible, more substantial than mere words is needed now. We do not believe there is a single individual in cillirr Mc.Mimi or Monroe counties who does not feel the deepest anxiety that the work should be prosecuted rapidly, energetically, and with tin; least possible delay. We hove conversed ith a largo number of citizens of these counties 011 the subject, and they have all so expressed themselves all declared a desire ilml the woik between the two rivers should bo let out and pushed on immediately that when tho curs reiehed the IJiwassee ll.ey should be detained theru as short tiinu as possible. We are speak iog now of Iho producers, tliu farmers, ih business men, who arc looking lo Hie fu lure. We know there is occasionally to be found individuals who aro opposed to all improvuiii'iil who can ee nothing but ruin and destruction in tho spirit ol pro iress which intirk the age who think ibat because their fmhers went mill with a bushel or corn in one oi.tl of ihe bog nnd a big rock in tho other to balance, that they must nraetici! the sauio iiil'c liiiui.s way of "oltin" along, nnd in lioo 1'iuirpencn-ha' penny visions a iJime iitlr.iex I be of a enani.M Such men Ihoiii'lt thev limv be yr.tmg in years, belong lo a former generation, and bave no business: here with Iho present we are not appealing lo llinu let them alone, they will die as they have lived with llio consciousness of never having had ono thought beyond self, or iimd.) sing'" effort lor iho tuuiual good of their fellow-men.

To such we have, tut a word to say we know that they would nut like stock in any thing that might brnelil their neighbors, not even in a railway to heaven and happiness, unless they could have bond and approved security thut ihey would bo benefitted seventy.fno percent, more limn nny body else, and ll.e choice ol sr nts in the first car. They aro a few a cla distinct by themselves let ihem alone. We liaVB said llial of MoMinn and Monroe llio working; producing, In siness people, not Ibe th viua of the past are all anxious that tlm work should be ex. tended at once this is iho general feeling this is tho desiro of llio Directory. How it to be corned out to be accomplished? A certain amount of means is required to repair the grading nnd furnish llio timbors fur tho tiaek boiwcen the two rivers.

A portion or thee mi ous must be ruised a-Wong the people. There it no uso in dodging or bliokiiig the point if the road is lo bo extended if we are to enjoy the nd vanttige "I I nvingitnt our very doors, wo MUST TAKE STOCK. But a small a. mount is required I be President of the Company says 50.000 and it will not do to say that the peoplo of those counties are notable. What! two counties liko Monroe and McMion not ablo 10 subscribe that small amount to ensure Ibe completion of a work through ihem thai is to benefit every one of their citizens.

Wo know they ore abundantly ablo, nnd if they do not wish to stand in their own hglit if they do not visit lo arrest nnd drive back the prosperity that is almost, rushing lo their very doors, they will not hesitate a moment about it. Every one is iniurestid, deeply interested, 111 ibe extension of tho work the farmer, the mechanic, tho large landholder, the man of Kin'ill means, and the day-laborer. The investment asked is not a giving-away business we are not asking you to contribute a given amount for which yi.u are to expect no return, But wo aro appealing to you to make an intiesmeii from which you aro to derive immtdiato and immense bene, fits an investment which will not only benefit you in every other respect, but ensures the fpeedy return of tho amount invested. As socn as thfll road roaches the Tennessee, at Blair's Ferry, it secures all the trade and travel to and from the South, and the wholn surplus produce of the up' co.in'ry.

FROM WASHINGTON. Washington, Sept. 21. Tbe appropriation hills were before Congress yesterday the Navy bill 'n the House and the Civil and Diplomatic in the Senate. Animated debates and amendments look pl.ice.

In ihe scramble fot Uncle Sam's money, the outsiders fared badly. The African siennicr line, for which a poteut outside influence was raised, had a short run. The project was ruled out ol order by an overwhelming uinjoriiy, as an amendment to navy hill. Il may I re vivid us nit amendment lo Mr. Burl's intended bill 10 abolish the Afiican eighty gun squadron.

The friends of the African Mesmer line think that it will effcl more lor prevention of the slave trade than "he eighty gunfquadron. But the project cannot succeed al this session. The 1111 nual appropriation for the Chngtes line did not gel through without some resiric n- ,1 ttons. Innumerable projects were oflered in ihe Senate, as amendments lo the civil ano Mr diplomatic bill. Many were carried Denton failed in his project lo carry on the experiments with Professor Page eleclro-magnelic engine.

Mr. Benton stated, what is probably true, lhat Mr. Page has brought up ihe invention 10 a seven and a half horse power, and would soon be able to put a ten horse power engioe upon rail road; and lhat there is no limit 10 ihe increase of ihe power. Hut the Senile was indisposed lo vote any more money for the experiments. They must be left to individual enterprise.

Mr. Gwiu remarked lhat Ihe same objections were urged against Professor Morse's application lor aid in his exneriirienls with the electro-magnetic lelf-graph. hot the aid was given, and produced wonderful results. Mr. Page's triumph will hn very ureal, should lie succeed the opinion of almost the whole A short debate occurred on Mr.

worm. Dawsuirs amendment lo pay the Iew Mexican Senator elect, who is here Major Weightman mileage lo ihe amount of two thousand dollars. It was lost by one vote. Mr. Winihrop made an eloquent harangue on his proposition to subscribe for a thousand copies of the writings of John Adams.

He adduced the facl of the purchase ol the papers of Ihe other four revolulionnry Presidents. John Adams, he said, was the father of ih revolution. In 1755, before Biaddock's defeat, and when he was 22 years old. predicted the future glory of America as the great naval nnd commercial power of the world. John Adams nominated George Washington ns the Com mander-in-Cliicf of the American armies.

There was a somewhat savage discussion upon a ptoposiiioti to relieve Mr. Ritchia of the Union, from his embarrassments, as contractor for the Public Priming. Mr. Bright opposed it and Mr. Badger sustained it.

Mr. Turney was very bitter in his opposition to it, and Mr. Foote equally warm in its favor. Mr. Hale was vigorous aud sarcastic in his hostility.

Mr. Ritchie took the contract at ruinously low rates, trusting, as is contended, to ihe bounty ol Con gress so often manifested to public printers. Mr. Ritchie, or his friends for him, evidently made soma serious mistake in their estimates of the expense. He has altcady lost nearly all that he hd acquired here.

He announces that he is unable lo go on with the contract, and asks to be relieved Irom il. He asks lhat, for the work exe. cuted, he should be paid at the rale of forly-fivo per cent reduction on Ihe prices of 1819, and that the work, if continued after the present session, shall he paid for at thirty per cent reduction from those prices.

A private telegraphic dispatch, from Macon, gives us the information that a large meeting oi tne union men ot tnai place was held on Saturday last, at ihe Court House, at which Judge 1. C.

Among a number of resolutions adopted, in relerence-lo Ihe existing state of national affairs, was one resolving that the citizens of Bibb county would forget all party distinctions and differences, and in imitation of their forefathers, who established the Union, nledse lime, talents, means, and, if mecessary, iheir lives in its sustainment.

Jackson was never more right llinu when he warned Mr.

Polk against bringing Ritchie here nnd foretold the ruin of llie party if he did. Every day's ex peiience since he was brought, has con tinned the Iruih of that warning, and if he remains here we shall remain ruined, and shall again lose Ihe Presidential election, aud shall deserve to lose it, because we know it." The following embodies a new and timely idea that of assorting ihe party, "The election of Senator is considered in iho bands of ihe Whigs and Nullifiers, and the report we have hero is that the latter will join the former, and elect a Whig. If s', it will Mill be a victory in behalf of the Union, nnd will show that Missouti will not "co operate" with other slaveholding Slates in establishing a south em confederacy. It will also assort ihe parly, nnd fix every man in his right place." Col. Uenion concludes ns follows: "The Nullification disunion democrncy are minority, a miserable minority in every county in some couniies none al all and of themselves able to do nothing; but by creeping into our parly, and by caucus, frauds and iraile i i voles, have connived lo make themselves prominent, anil olten to rule the State, and this year lo give it to the Whigs, alter having liut tried lo give it to ihe southern confederacy.

But this is about the last harm Ihey will do u. The ensuing elections will give tlism their proper places in the ranks of the Whigs, anil will free us from theru forever, and will leave us stronger than ever. "The appeal is now decided and sustained, nud die object 1 had in making it is accomplished. The nullification resolutions oi the last General Assembly are condemn ed; Ibe people waked up to the reality of the plot to dissolve the Union, and III State of redeemed from the pledge to "co operate" in it."

About two months since when in her usual health, she expret sed some apprehension that she might have done wrong in marrying, when she must oon tako a final leave of her husband. When her sister came to see her, during her last sicklies-, Mrs. Wcllman reminded her of Iho prediction, and it approaching fulfilment. Her death which took place night before last, was from the prevailing disease. She was only fourteen years old when this strange presentiment impressed itself upon her mind llannibald Union.
