Congress.
Oregon was on the 12th admitted into
the Union. We now number thirty-three
sovereign States. The event was cele-
LratiJ in a lprnminT manner, and irreat
o o
enthusiasm prevailed at the National Cap
ital. "A full marine band serenaded the
distinguiihed friends cf the measure, in-
rluding Gen. Lane, Senator Green and
' Representatives Nichols, Scott, Stephens,
' Lfet'cher, Thayer, Comins, Stevenson and
Orr. nearlv ail of whom delivered brief
seeches, eulogizing the political event.
The president, in response to repeated
rills; appeared at the window of the
White House. He presumed, he said,
from ihis handsome demonstration, that
the Oregon bill had passed. He sincere
ly congratulated them upon the advent of
another sovereign State into the glorious
confederacy of Republics."
In the admission of Oregon, we think
the. Republican party, by the various
crooks and turns to defeat or cripple, did
. futlirient to ballance the acts of certain
democrats last winter, on the Kansas
fjuestica: Oregon coming in as a demo
cratic Statei made "quite a difference as
to whose ox was cored."
The vote on the final passage of the
bill ia the House, stood 144 to 103.
. The Homestead bill has passed the
House by a vote of 120 to 76. The pro
visions bf the bill are that any actual set
.tier, who is the head of a family, over 21
years of age, a citizen of the United
States, or declared his intention to become
such, is entitled to enter one quarter sec
'tiori of Jand without paying any price
Pensylvania, belongs the honor of engi
rieerinsr this bill through the House.
-.IVLiit will be its fate in the Senate, re
mains to be seen.
The success of this, or a bill similar in
it provisions, is, we may safely say, of
vital importance ; is wide and far reach
ing in its consequences. It affects a f u
ture, tne- duration ot wruen no one can
compute, and fcr the present, not only the
Territories but the States.
In regard to the Nebraska contested
case, the result has been as we predicted
last week, The report of the committee
was made to the House in favor of Chap
inan, when the whole matter was laid up
on the table, and, of course, will there
dumber in quiet.
The Senate committee will undoubtedly
report, in favor of annexing South Platte
to Kansas, but no action will be taken in
all probability, owinsr to the want of time
. - It is though", no appropriation bill ,wil
be passed, in which event an extra session
will be indispensable.
Kansas.
The Legislature of Kansas adjourned
on Friday the 11th inst. Amon its last
acts was the passage of a general amnes-
ty. bill, granting pardon to all persons in
custody, and immunity from prosecution
on account of past disturbances in South
ern Kansas. The bill received the ap-
proval cf the Governor. A bill also pass-
ed providing for the formation of aeon-
etltution and State government. It pro
vides for an election to take place cn the
fourth Monday of March for or against
. holding a convention for said purpose.
If favorable, an election for fifty dele
gates is to be held on the first Monday in
June, and the convention will meet on
the first Tuesday in July, at Wyandotte
City. The constitution is to be submitted
u the people in October, and the officers
utider it are to bo elected in December.
A bill abolishing and prohibiting slavery
in the Territory was also passed.

take it in ten days. He was in favor of
the acQuisitien of Cuba. He would not

The report of the intention, on the part
of Mr. Hunter's friends, to cut off certain

the injurious tendency to pour into Wrash-

: Popular So verelgiitF.
In our iudrremeht the' Washington Un
ion could be much belter employed as a
democratic paper, than in writing1 long ed
itorials against popular sovereignty. Ihe
people of the Territories will have their
own way in the regulation of their insti
tutions. Theorize and speculate about it
as much as the- ilViion may, and . draw
hair-splitting, fine constitutional distinc-
10ns in its arguments, the great and stub
born facts remain that the practical
power, on all subjects of domestic concern,
cannot be taken from the people of Ter
ritories. If they are in favor of slavery,
it will go there. If they are opposed to
it that institution can never get a foot
hold, and never ought to. If they have
not the power to exclude it directly, they
will do it indirectly, and by' the power of
public opinion in the Territory. Slave
holders will not take slaves into b commu
nity where a majority of the people are
opposed to the institution. The people,
North and South, might as well look the
matter in the face, onk submit to the pop?
ular sovereignty settlement of the terri
torial question; It is right, too.1 Those
who do not live in the territories have no
right to dictate to them in'mattefs bf do
mestic concern. They have no riht to
seek to prevent them from - authorizing
slavery, and they have no right to crowd
it upon them in opposition to their wishes.
Nine out of ten of the people of the Uni
ted States, North as well as bouth, we
venture to say, are in favor of the people
of the Territories, like those of the States
deciding the character of their own insti
tutions. ,
The Union ought to know that the pop-
ular'sovereignty doctrine cannot be struck
down. It is too deeply planted in the
hearts of the people especially is this so
in the West. To deny its correctness
here, is considered little better than polit
ical treason. Cin. Enq.
A Word to the Wise.
The. attentionvof pur business men is
particularly invited to the following :
Discontinuing : to advertise is like ta
king down one's sign. It is a sort of in
timation of retirement from business, and
the public treat it as such. Or they may
regard it as something gone wrong in the
business, which requires privacy for the
purpose of investigation v hatever con
struction may be put upon it, the result is
disastrous.
Now we ' advise all our readers who
may have fallen into the common error cf
the season, to come out of their holes and
put up their signs once more, and to ad
vertise as much an4 in as many papers as
they did in the best of. times. , While bus
iness creates advertising, it is equally true
that advertising creates business. It ere
ates a talk and stir in business circles,
and reminds the people that they have no
right to be leading drone's lives, even
though the times be dull; and even in
the worst of times, advertising always
pays well, and the more of it there is,
the greater will be the business activity,
the more free wiil.be the circulation of
money, and the sooner will we be restor
ed to a condition of prosperity." Phil,
Juv. JJuuetin. .
An American Vessel Destrorea by
a uriiisn sieamcr.
The Navy Department is in receipt of
aavices irom Ucminander Totten, cf the
African squadron, announcing the search,
seizure and burning of the brig Rufus
Soole, Captain Anderson, by the steamer
Viper, of the .British squadron, . on the
same, station. One of the R. S's seaman
testified that it was said by some of the
crew of the Viper that she was burned
because they, had no men to send away in
her, and that they had orders to burn one
out of every three vessels taken. The
seamen were landed on the beach of Ka
benela. Com. Totten had demanded an
explanation of the commander of the Vi
per, who responded to three categorical
questions put by Com. Totten, as follows
First. Had the vessel the American
flag flying at the time she was visited by
the boat? Answer, bhe had the Amer
ican flag flying ; and from information
from the British government, dated the
Sih and 22d of July last, there was every
just cause to believe that in this case a
fraudulent use of the flag was being made
and that the vessel was engaged in the
slave trade. . Consequently she was visit
ed.
Second. If her papers were correct?
Answer. In my opinion thep were in
correct, some of them undoubtedly so, 1
Third. " If the American flag was still
flying when the hatches were opened?
Answer. The American flag was not
flying when the vessel's hatches were
opened. The .flag and the papers were
thrown into the sea by the captain, with
out even a suggestion on my part.
Com. Totten replied that it was unsat
isfactory. as it made no mention of the
burning of the brig without legal investi
gation. - Com. Hodkinton rejoined by re
ferring the American officer to the British
Admiral, and this closes the report.
Thanks.

Thi3 work closes the popular series of Rural Man
ualsto which i t belongs, and wa greatly mijtako if
it be aot destined to command even a more generous
patronage and a wider circulation than those favor
ites of the public, "The Garden," "The Farm," and
"Domestic Animals," which have preceded it. It is,
like them, a thoroughly practical work, written far
theptople, in a style which tho people can under
stand, and while containing everything that one will
expect or desire to find in such a work, i3 brought,
by it3 size end price, within the reach cf all.
The hints on house-building:, contained in the
second chapter, aro ; alone worth many times' the
price of the book.
The designs, commencing with a log cabin, em
brace houses of all degrees of cost, particular atten
tion being giten to those cf low price, such as the
great mass" of the people most want, and of every
desirable style of architecture. It is designed for
all parts of the American continent, and 'contains
Southern as well as Northern houses.
Barns, Btablcs, poultry-houses, piggeries, aah
houscs, ice-houscs, and other out-buildings, fcavo al
so very properly a place in this little book ; and
some admirable designs, c?p ecially fcr lams and
Fjalles, re given.
No one who ever expects to build, if it be only an
icc-houisora cistern, should fail to consult this
manual.. It might well have been entitled, "Every
Man Hii Owd Architect." f
Tho series of "Rural Manuals" to which thid' be
longs "The House," "The Garlen," "Tho 'Tan,"
and "Domestic Animals' will be furnished to s-b-rribe-i

Ihe Territorial Fair.
, In giving notice for receiving proposals for a point
at wnicn to aeid tne x em tonal xair in beptember
next, a typographical error was made in savin "15th
February" instead of "15th of March," as was in
tended. The object of even so early a date was that
the premium list might be gotton out immediately,
in order, tq aTord an opportunity to competitors to
prepare for crop. . As s jme dissatisfaction has been
manifested as to tho time given, it is thought best
ta extend it. I will therefore receive proposals up
to April 15th, 1859.
Territorials papers will please notice this change
and urge upon tatir localities action.
