Tue House of Assembly granted one hundred | and fifty peunds ter the reporting of the debates of *he late Session — not one shilling was granted for publishing them inthe newspapers. The House of Assembly seemed to be under the impression that the couutry in geueral is very anxious to see those debates, and that newspaper publishers make a profit by giving them to their readers. The House was very much mistakes. ‘Te publishers dv not make one shilling by the business, but ex- pend money, in Various ways, by publishing the debates so extensively as the ‘Islander’ and * Ex- aminer’ have done for several years. If members think they spend the public money to advantage in giving a large graut to have their speeches written wut, and polished up by the Reporters, newspaper editors will act very unwisely if they give up a very large portion of their space and very expensive labour for voting. Other matter can be put ia print that will cost less money to the publishers, and be generally more interesting than a great deal of that which appears under the parliamentary bead. As the House seemed to have no regard for the press, the press should wauifest no regard for the House, further than will meet its own convenience. part, we intend te adopt this course, for the fu- ture, as regards the insertion in this paper of the debates.

Four persons were seen on her deck. She lad searcely run three hundred yards, when opposite Indian Point a squall struck her, and she capsized within a short distance of the land. These peor fellows were seen strug- gling to save themselves on her upturned keel, but before help could reach thea freat the shore, all went down. When the boats arrived over the spot, there was not a vestige ot the wreck or of the men to be seen. Who they were, or where they were from, we have not.as yet been able to hear. They diwd, poor fellows, in sight of men willing and anxious to save them. ‘The last ob- ject they saw in iife was the Cross of the Village Chureh, with the bright moruing sun shining on it; and the last sound they heard was the bell, There are now erected on the diggings | or The ‘Washington Republican’ of Mareh 27, says:—Aun officer of our urmy just returned from Manassas, called last evening and gave us an in- teresting accduut of his visit to Manassas, and the battie-tield of Ball Run.

The Kentuckians seized their arms and a desper- ate fight ensued, in which many were slain on both sides, and their bodies were buried where they fell, the graves being yet visible. From this spot the mutineers retreated a short distanee, threw down their arms, and each drawing his bowie knife, made a desperate charge upon the two re- gments, ‘The fight was terrific, in which more than a hundred were killed, and they, too, were uried upon the field of slaughter. At last the brave Kentuckians were subdued. The battle-tield was shown to our informant by the farmer, who witnessed the feartul coutest. In traversing the field, he discovered a large bowie knife, which, duubtless, had been used in this fear- tul fray.

The vietim is Mrs. Buekingham, wife of Frank | Buckingham, Esqr., of Chicago, and daughter of Colonel Mather Beecher, of Remsen—a beautiful | and estimable lady, about thirty-tive years of age. | The murderer is one Hoffman, a German, sixty-one years old, father of a large family, not | unconversant with the interior of jails, a hardy, | active old fellow, and known as a revengeful aud | dangerous character, Col. Beecher was one of the earliest settlers in Remsen, and has for years been oue of its most) | respected citizens. He is a large landed proprie- itor, and Hoifiman some time. since “ squatted” | upon the Colonel's land. This unlawful proceed- | ing has been the cause of much trouble, leading to | | la series of acrimonious law-suits, and to personal bad feeling. On several occasions, when Colonel! | Beecher had visited Hoffman on business connected | with the eccupation of the former’s land, the lat- | ter had becomeso enraged as to drive the Colonel | off by the exhibition of a gun, and threats of | shooting. Hoffman evidently cherished a deep | and dangerous feeling of revenge, and yesterday | morning he determined te gratify his passion by, as he himself declares, killing the whole Beecher family. Iu pursuance of this plan, he loaded a five-bar- reled revolver, put five extra cartridges into his | murderously equipped called at the house of Col.

The old gentleman, in ot leading Senators will show the feeling of the people on the subject, and the determination to take every means that may advanee their cause. Mr. Hunter, of Va., thought that the policy which diminishes the supply of cotton will hold out no inducements for England to break up the blockade. By keeping cotton scarce and high, its production is stimulated in other countries ; India tor instance. If we are denied admission to the markets for several years, and the price is kept to twenty-five to thirty cents, see what powertul incentives are given to its production elsewhere. ‘To bring about this state of things and to become the main producer is the secret of alk British le- gisaltion. This stimulates the planters in their tropical colonies to raise cotton under any disad-| vantage; otherwise their interests as manutactu- rers would have compelled them to raise the blockade. Cotton is a source of power and influ- ence only so long as we can raise and keep it in vast quantities at low prices. Mr. Brown urged that the main object of the enemy being to pass down to the Mississippi Val- ley and adize our cotton, we should prevent any more being there than could be helped. The idea that cotton could be raised in India was, to use a homely phrase, played out. He was in favor of burning all the cotton we now had, and planting no more until the world was disposed to do us Regardless of every Power on earth, let us act for ourselves and strike blows for our own superiority. {r. Semmes, of La., had long since abandoned the idea that cotton is king. He had arrived at the conclusion that this was a mistake. Nations would violate the laws of nations to supply them- principle of the world. We have tested the pow- ers of King Cotton, and have found him to be want- ing. We must now abandon ail dependence on forcign intervention. The English never will in- ierfere, because it is not for their interest, Rather thau make war with the United States, she would couvert Ler goveruiment into an elecmosyuary tor rived off Charlesion in 19 days from Liverpool, and ran the blockade on the 10th of March. The steamer ‘Caroline,’ from Nassau, N. P., also ran the blockade on the 23d ult., with an assorted cargo, and the pilot Chase arrived the same day, with a cargo of salt. Several vessels were expect- ed to arrive daily, and the blockade is very fre- quently run, in and out of the harbor. It appears that no vessel of great draft enters by the old channel blockaded by the stone fleet, as that obstruction has had a complete effect; but entrance and egress is had through Maffit’s chan- nel, and is managed either through the efforts of skilful pilots on foggy nights, or by a system of shore signals, well arranged. There are only two get out, owing to the want of depth of water. They are the * Lady Davis’ anda tug. Great et- forts are being made to build an iron-clad gunboat, and concerts and public amusements are given on behalf of the scheme. Slaves are even solicited for offerings. ‘ ImporTaANT Caprure. — The ‘Emily,’ St. Pierre, a fine ship of a thousand tens, from Cal- cutta. with two thousand bales of gunny bags on board, was captured by the ‘James Adger,’ try- ing to get into Charleston about a fortnight since; her register was British, and her erew the same. | She cleared from Calcutta for a port in New Brunswick, the captain alleging that he had orders to stop at Charleston and go in if the port was not blockaded. She has long beep knowh as a Char- leston ship. ae FATAL ACCIDENT--GREAT SUFFERINGS AT SEA, We copy the following from the Dublin ‘ Free- man’s Journal’ of the 15th ult:— It is our painful duty to be again the medium of recording more casualties at sea.

The bullet did not pass entirely through her body, but remains in the wound, Of the pre- cise nature and extent of the injuries inflicted, we are pot advised, Hotfman preserves his worse than brutal de- meanor. He acknowledges no coutrition. With a bloodthirstiness quite incomprehensible, he re- marked that, although he had intended to kill the whole Beecher family, yet he was satistied as it had turned out—the satisfaction of murdering Mrs. Buckingham compensating him for anything that might eusue. Thus ends the record of as foul a crime and —— — ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN THE FEDERAL Caprrot —A Bill fortthe abelition of Slavery in the District of Columbia, in which is the City of Washington, has passed the Senate, by a large siajority, and may be considered the first blow | struck at Slavery in the American States.

How important under sneh serious consequences, it be- comes thoroughly to eradicate stramous taints from the blood and glands, must be as evident to, us it is incumbent on, all sufferers. Holloway’s Ointment and Pills uproot all such latent corruptions. The Ointment, applied over the affected parts, passes to the glands and blood circulating round about, and completely cleanses both.
