In this connection, I also notice a letter from the Hon. C. M. Clay, our Minister to Russia, which has been referred to this office and herewith returned, and on which I have to report. If the civilized nations persist in refusing to discontinue and abandon the use of sensitive explosive balls, then it would be well for this Government to enter into the agreement suggested by Mr. Clay, whereby we may be enabled to secure their use in case of necessity, by an agreement with him, or his named authorized agent, for the payment of a stipulated royalty on each that may be procured from him, or may be used in the Government service. Respectfully, your obedient servant, A. B. Dyer, Brevet Major-General, Chief of Ordnance. I have recorded enough to show the recklessness and falsity of the charge

This might be obviated by the adoption of a special flag of distress, with the saltier or Saint Andrew's cross.as a union, to be hoisted, union down, when the occasion demanded. With regard to the seal we understand that the committee of Congress is ready to report for the obverse, the device suggested by Mr. Clay, of Alabama, of the cavalier. If by this is meant the figure of a man on horseback simply, nothing, it seems to us, could be in better taste or more appropriate as expressive of the habits of our people. The device is not new; indeed it is one of the oldest ever employed in this manner. The man on the back of the horse has ever been a favorite emblem to denote the mastery of the human over the highest type of the brute creation. It appears in sculptured majesty upon the glorious friezes

Clay, again, in a letter to the National Republican Convention at Pittsburg of Feb. 22, 1856 (Lib. 26.41), put the Southern slaveholders at 300,000, but De Bow's larger Chase. in like manner, completed the Congress whose destiny it was to pour oil upon the flames of the agitation it sought to extinguish. For eight months after Mr. Clay introduced his so-called Compromise Resolutions, they, Jan. 21, 1850; Lib. 20.21. and the measures to which they gave birth in an Omnibus Bill, engrossed the atLib. 20.118. Everybody was in a fever of excitement till a settlement should be arrived at; and when the settlement was enacted, all peace and quiet was at an end. Clay's programme was: To yield to the inevitable in Lib. 20.21. the case of California, and admit her as a free State— yet with the air of conceding something. To or

I said to him: Why, Garrison, I had expected to see a long-faced ascetic; but I see you patriots are jolly, sleek fellows—not at all debarred of the good things of life. He replied, in the same vein: And therein, Clay, you are wrong, and somewhat confound things. The ascetics are the wrong-doers! Who should be happy, if not those who are always right?

House burned down — loss of life. --The alarm of fire about 12 o'clock on Wednesday night, was caused by the burning of the dwelling-house of Benjamin Thompson, a free man of color, located near the head of Clay, on 18th street. The fire had gotten good headway before its discovery. The rear part of the tenement being of wood, the flames raged with great fierceness, burning up nearly all the interior of the brick house and all the top, together with most of the furniture. A negro woman named Eliza, owned by Stern & Newman, traders, who was sick, and sleeping in the rear of the main building, was suffocated by the smoke, and her body nearly burnt past recognition before it was released. It is the generally received opinion that the fire was accidental.
