Tun naIIVING of Congress, the movements
of the army, and the many other exciting
events before the public, compel us to dis
pense with our usual holiday on the Fourth of
July. We shall accordingly publish a paper
on Friday.
The National Anniversary.
Our national anniversary occurs at a time
when we are surrounded by difficulties of an
unprecedented charaeter, and when domestic
foes of our institutions have dared to make a
treasonable assault upon our liberal and bene
ficent Government, which was never antici
pated by the Fathers of the Republic. Al
though the exigencies of the conflict may
prevent many from celebrating the day i n
their usual manner, the outburst of practical
patriotism which it has evoked in this period
of trial and danger is the most acceptable and
conclusive evidence that could be given of
the perpetuation of the spirit of '76.
The Comet of 1861.
The unexpected appearance of a magnifi
cent comet, at a time when our 'country is
convulsed with a civil war, and at the mos
exciting and important period of our history,
would go far to create a general belief that
it exerted, in some mysterious way, a sinister
influence upon our destinies, if the ancient
superstitions which popularized such opinions
had not been effectually exploded by the re
searches of science. As it is, all intelligent
minds will enjoy the brilliant spectacle it pre
sents with no-fears that it either foreshadows
or affects the course of human events.
It is supposed by astronomers to be among
the bare poseibilities that a comet, may at some
time, come into collision with the earth, bat the
chances of such an occurrence are so remote,
that they are scarcely worth considering, and,
in view of their attenuation, it is not believed
to be at all certain that they would inflict any
very great damage it they should visit it, unless
a solid nucleus moving in a direction contrary
to the diurnal motion of the earth should strike
it, when the most fatal effects would be pro
duced.
The comet now visible is probably the one
which appeared in 1666, known as the Charles
the Filth comet, from the fact that it was ob
served by his astronomer, PAUL FABrucaus,
and made such a deep impression upon his
mind that it is supposed to have hastened his
abdication. It is also believed to have ap
peared in 976 and 1264, the period of its re
currence being about 300 years; but allowance
must be made for the numerous perturbations
or disturbing influences of the planets among
which it revolves. The comet of 976 was
visible during a period of eighty-three days,
and the course it pursued was similar to that
of the comets of 1264 and 1666.
The planet of 1284 was of great magnitude,
and created much excitement. It was first
seen, like the present one, about the first of
July, and attained its maximum brilliancy
In the latter part of August. The tail was one
hundred degrees in length, and appeased
curved, in the form of a sabre. It was last
seen on the evening of the 8d of October, the
date of the death - of Pope URBAN IV, with
which event it was supposed to have bad aeme
mysterious connection. The comet of 1656
began to be generally visible about the end of
February, and disappeared on the 28d of
April. It was of unusual magnitude, but its
tail was abort and variable.
Presuming that it was the same comet which
appeared in 975, 1264, and 1656, many calcu
lations have been made as to the time of its
reappearance. Dr. RALury supposed itwould
be visible in 1848. But between the years
1843 and 1847 the whole subject was reinvesti
gated by Mr. Hue, of London, and M. Boußs,
of Middleburg, in the Netherlands. Mr.
HIND, after attempting to calculate the plane
tary, perturbations, concluded that it would
appear about 1858. M. Boxers supposed its
perihelion would be reached on the 22d of
August, 1860. On the first appearance of the
comet of 1858, it was thought by some that
that was the comet of 1656, but the computa
tions which were made respecting its orbit
showed that the period of its revolution was
about 2,000 years, so that it evidently had not
been previously visible for many centuries.
As the present comet is being carefully no
ticed at many observatories, we shall no doubt
soon obtain full scientific descriptions of it.
So many comets haie already appeared
without producing any perceptible effects upon
the 'earth, that they no longer excite emotions
of fear among scientine men. As-A-oo esti_
mated that there were at least 7,000,000 within
the limits of our system, but only a very small
portion of that immense number have ever
been observed. Since the birth of Christ,
(including reappearances,) 651 have been no
ticed, of 'which 'll4 have been visible during
the present century.
The idea is entertained by many that the
weather is affected by comets, and .the un
usually cool evenings which have marked the
appearance of the present one apparently
render this opinion plausible, but it is dis
credited, and it is contended by modern as
tronomers that it is without the slightest
foundation either in philosophy or fact. This
subject was very thoroughly investigated '
Auoo. He compiled a table, in which he
exhibited in one column the temperature at
Feria from 1786 to 1881, and in another the
- •
number of- comets which appeared, with their
magnitude and appearance. No coincidence is
observable bet Ween the state of the weather
and the number and appearance of the comets
during that, period. Daring some of the un
usually warm years two comets appeared, and
in others of a similar character no cornett'
were visible.; and again, in years in which
the temperature was lower than usual, comets
were • Visible, and in others of a similar
character they were not noticed. The
year .1826; when five comets appeared, was not
so hot u 1831, when only one' comet was vi
sible.{ and, on the other band, the coldest years
do not seem to have been in any way affected,
by the , appearance of comets - Of a period Of
ieientidsintr years, he found that comets had
appeared in forty-nine of them, and none 'had
heen'svAible daring iwenty.flve. 'he mean
temperature of the fonder Was 61.6 , deg., and
of ctbe hider 50.7 deg., the differen ce
, being,
thiat,a degree. During twenty-fonr of the,
leta
ifelitYfiya. comet years; two or more of them
appeared, and in one year only one. The
mean temperature of the former was 51.6
deg., and of the latter 51.4 dog. It has also
been ascertained that the mean temperature
of the years 1853 and 1858, when very bril
liant comets appeared, was not sensibly af
fected by them.
Eastern Tennessee.
The people of Eastern Tennessee have
taken their destiny in their own hands. They
have determined that, whatever the action of
the Western and Middle counties may be,
they will not be hurried out of the Union;
and compelled to endure a Government with
whose members they have no sympathy. At
a Convention recently held in Knoxville every
county of Eastern Tennessee-tat one was
represented. The Hon. T. A. R. Nelson,
one of the most eloquent members of the last
House, was president. The proceedings of the
Convention were marked with a degree of calm
ness and sagacity which 'shows that the people
have the hand to execute as well as the mind
to plan. Their cg Declaration of Grievances"
is a plain narrative of odious tyranny, and yet
they harbor no thought of vengeance and pro
pose no scheme of retaliation. They very'
boldly declare that the acts of the State Le
gislature, the passage'of the Secession ordi
nance, and the establishment of a military ,
league, are unconstitutional and revolutionary
acts, not binding on a free and loyal people.
They propose to the Legislature of Tennessee
that they shall be permitted to retire from
that State and form a Commonwealth of their
stwn; under the protection of the laws of the
United Stites.
The action of the Convention will present
many newand interesting phases of the pre
sent singular and complicated state of affairs.
If
the pernicious theory of secession were
correct, we do,not see how this request could
be disregarded. If it is right for the nom
.
ponent parts of a Republic to separate, it is
equally right foi the component parts of a
State to, separate. This theory of secession
is capable of an infinite variety of subdivi
sions. It assumes a State to be a fissiparous
arrangement, capable of, any degree of spon
taneous subdiVision, - and ,composed of a tem
porary combination of separate and complete
bodies. If it is just on a large scale, it must
be just on a small scale. If there are State
rights, there are county rights; if there are
county rights, there are township rights, and
so on until we come to the individual rights,
in which every man is a social unit, capable
of performing all the ftmctiens that may be
long to a free and independent unit. On this
reasoning it is fair enough for East Tennessee
to be permitted to retire from a Common
wealth in which she can no longer have a
voice consistent with her feelings as a loyal
and conscientious people.
The separation of a State does not at all
affect the relations of the parties to it with
the General Government. The spirit of our
laws permits States to be subdivided whenever
the wishes of the people look to a more conve
nient and economical form of State govern
ment, and the consent of the original Common
wealth is given. Maine was separated from
Massachusetts; the Northwestern Territory
from Virginia ; and many of the arbitrary boun
daries of western States, like Texas and Kansas,
and the territories beyond, were drawn by Con
gress, in anticipation of division into smaller
States at a future day. It is a perfectly pro
per act, therefore, for the people of Eastern
Tennessee to ask a release from a union in an
uncongenial Commonwealth. We have no
idea, however, that the Confederate States
will grant any such request, or permit the Le
gislature of Tennessee to grant it. The offi
cial organ of the traitors, the New Orleans
Delta, has announced that "the Southern.
rights men are determined to hold possession
of the State, though they should be in a
minority," and the preparations and an
nouncements of the State authorities indicate
that they will make an early and desperate
attempt to reduce Eastern Tennessee into
submission.
We have no interest in the domestic legisla:
tion of Tennessee. She may divide herself
into fragments as small as Delaware or Rhode
Island, without at all affecting her attitude
towards the General Government, or the duty
of her people to. the Constitution and the
Union. These people have proclaimed their
loyalty in , the most =mistakable manner
and under the moat trying circumstances, and
it is the duty of the Government to afford
them protection from the assaults of any
traitorous combinations. They occupy a
perilous position. They may be called the
advance guard of Southern Union sentiment.
They are surrounded by hostile communities
—with the exception of Kentucky—and even
Kentucky's Governor is their ardent enemy.
They may make a gallant fight for their
homes, but single-handed they must be over - -
matched by the cohorts of Governor Emus
and Jxrrzasox DAVIS. Already we hear of
military arrangements being made for their
subjugation. The honor of the North de
mands tkat they must not be sacrificed. The
Administration should send them instant and
adequate military succor.
Newspaper Spies in the North.
It is time, we think, that telegraphic com
munications between the Northern cities and
the insurgent States were effectually stopped.
So far as our receiving news from the South
is concerned this has been accomplished. To
us the South is almost as much a terra in
cognita as Scythia was to the Romani', or
Southern Ethiopia to the navigators of
Carthage. We occasionally hear from a
Southern community by way of Louisville, a
stray newspaper from New Orleans, Texas, or
Memphis, or in the letters of Mr. Rnssara, to
the London Times. These advises, how
ever, are very cantionsly.written, and it would
be as easy to discover a needle in a haystack
as to obtain from any of these sources a single
fact throwing light upon the military ope
rations of the tionthern army, the probable
disposition and strength of their forces, or the
plans and movements of their leaders.
Bat, while we are thus debarred from the
South, its newspapers and leaders have as
little trouble in communicating with the North
as they had in December. We have a New
Orleans journal of Juno 22, which contains ad
vices from the North as late as Juno 21. De
apatches are printed in New Orleans which
were evidently written the day before in
Washington, St. Louis, and New York. We
see an official announcement of the Secretary
of Stato—ii telegraphic despatch from the Se
cretary of War to the Governor of Now York
—military movements at Washington, and
the transactions of the New York stock and
cotton markets, in a New Orleans paper of
the same date as a Philadelphia paper con
taining the same intelligence. And thus,
while the Southern authorities exercise the
.utmost vigilance in controlling all communi
cation with the North, and supproas every
fact calculated to aid us in forming a just es
timate of their military condition, we allow
their agents to have access to our official de
partments, our cotton markets, stock ex
changes, and military camps, and to telegraph
' their information over the length and breadth
Qt . the rebellious South. '
Thin should be remedied. The informa
tion the r...els are thus permitted to ob
tain with im pumu, must prove invaluable. It
is time that these nolt..naper spies were ba

TILE ADVAINE Or GEN. PATTERSON .—The
news of the advance of Gen. Pairasson, and
his entrance into Martinsburg, has given great
satisfaction to our citizens. • The insurgents,
as usual, beat a hasty retreat, and but few
lives were lost. The names of the wounded
will be found in our telegraphic report. But
one man in our army was killed. .
THE Evening Journal censures Tun l'aEss

man elect from the Second district, with be

that we never charged Col. Bums with being
a Secessionist, nor did we ever entertain a sus

he is an "able and a good man," and we said
60 during the canvass.

We have a stray copy of the New Orleans

effect of the blockade is very manifest upon
the commercial circles of the Crescent City.
We are told that the moneymarket ct is so en- .

it would be a waste of time to comment on
such absolutell 'negative features ;" and the
editor of that, generally interesting, instruc

John Letcher.
Poor. JOHN LATCHES! Hie position in Vir
ginia is a most humiliating one. But three
months ago ho was the Governor of a Com
monwealth comprising 'within its limits the
elements of an empire. His position was a
proud one, for, among the States few Govern
ors held as proud a position as the ruler of
the Old Dominion. He professed to feel a
devotion to the Union, and attested it in . -long
letters to Philadelphia barristers. His record
was one which made him respected in the
South ; he was a popular man in his State and
respected as a good Governor; his conserva
tive declarations made him honored in the
North. His future as a public man was bril
liant. A little firmness would have saved his
State of Virginia to the Union, and he could
have hoped for high honors in the State.
But the tide of Secession went swelling
against the Blue Ridge, and Joint Lavonza was
carried away". He could not breast the cur
rent, and he fondly Doped to lead it. He be
came at once the most energetic of Secession
ists, and the most unscrupulous of thieves.
He plundered the navy yard at Norfolk,
seized Northern property wherever found,
and laid violent bands upon a Government
arsenal. He issued his proclamations, com
manding the freemen of the West to kneel
under the Davis yoke. He sent his armies
hither and thither wherever thoy might harass
and destroy ; and was of all mon the most
assiduous in his attempts to overthrow the
Federal power.
This was all very well; but it did not last
long. JEFFERSON Devis and his portable
government came to Richmond, and assumed
control of affairs. They do not like the Go
vernor and they have set him aside. gf Gover
nor LETORER is completely overruled,"
says a despatch, ce and even his patriotism - is
called in question by the rebels." They evi
dently remember his loyal professions of
March, and know the reluctance with which
he joined their cabal. How true it is :
"Mresion le but truhted like the fox,
Who, ne'er so tame, so cherished and look'd up,
Will have a wild triok of his ancestors."
In the West, LBTOLIER finds a more loyal
Virginian wielding the gubernatorial autho
rity, and the indications are that Governor
PIERPONT will very soon preside in Richmond.
In his own city be is distrusted by the men
whom he has taken to his confidence, and the
rebels who have used him now speak of dis
carding him as a useless tool. Whatever flag
floats over Virginia, but one fate remains for
LETCHIR. In the eyes of LINCOLN he is a
rebel; in the eyes of DAVIS he is a distrusted
minion. Ills career is over, and he passes
into history a record of shame, treachery, and
disappointed ambition.
Congress.
For Tile Press.]
Great exigencies either demonstrate the es.
aential littleness or develop the inherent greatness
of men. In the crucible of such an exigency our
Congress is now placed.- If it fail to grasp the
magnitudes invoked in the present crisis, it will
not only cover itself with reproach, and the nation
with disaster, but go a good way toward under•
mining all faith in popular goverriment ; for the
inefficiency of the chosen, and hence we must
infer the choice, men of the Republic in a time of
need argues the inefficienoy of the Republic.
In the hand of Congress Ilea the fate of the most
gigantio, cruel, and wicked rebellion ever perpe
trated. And it should neither be forgotten nor
complained of that this crisis Is to be met not
only without foreign aid, but without very much
of foreign sympathy, and, indeed if we falter,
against foreign opposition.
We might ea well face the truth at once, and
baldly, that in the nature of things the profound
instincts of European nations are against us. Not
only has the progress of human freedom here so
reacted upon Europe as to produoe great and in.
eessant annoyance to its monarchies'and aristocra
cies, the source of which annoyance they oannot
love; bnt our rapid growth in population and
power, a growth which only suicide can check, his
awakened and must awaken an increasing jealousy
and apprehension for the future.
If, now, the rebels succeed, we are crippled, and
over this they could not shed a tear. Indeed, some
of them would not hesitate to play Persia's game
with Athena and Sparta with ns—aid the North
against the South and vice versa till we were both
powerless. Then, if the North succeed, we shall
stand before the world a nation of military free•
map, with arms In our hands and skill, not to say
will, to use them! And this they cannot desire.
On the unanimity of Congress in support of the
Government, and on the wale of the appropria.
Lions for the war, will very greatly depend, amodg
other interests of untold magnitude, the question
also of foreign interference.
For ourselves, we have all faith in Congress, be
cause we have full faith in

Miscellaneous.
It is uncertain whether the message will be
transmitted to Congress tomorrow or Friday, but
probably not until the latter date. It can, how
ever, be definitely state:i tb It the document will
be telegraphed to the pr- r. as no copies will be
sent out in advance The rep,rte of the Seoretaries
of War, Navy, and Treasury, are now completed,
bat they are as unattainable as the message itself.
The latter will not much exceed in length the Pr
esident's inaugural, and will be devoted exoln
lively to questions growing out of the war. It
will be decided and emphatic in favor of the main
tenanoe, the unity, and indivisibility of the Re-;
public at all harards.
Notwithstanding the former reports and tumors
respecting Maj. Gan. Flimont's command, it was
not until to-day a oonolusion was reached by the
Government. , lie has impatiently awaited Its or
ders, while carefully refraining expressing a pre
ference for any particular field. He had a long
interview . with the President last night, and will
at once leave Washington, to take command of the
great Western movement.
Mr. Haldeman, the United States minister to
Sweden, has reached Stockholm. The Government
there, as in the other European countries, expresses
its sincere sympathies with the cause in which the
United States are now engaged.
The candidates for Speaker of the House are re
duced to two, Messrs. Grow and Blair. In order
to 'lessen the number and prevent the delay in
the organisation which a triangular contest among
the Republicans might occasion, Mr. Colfax an
nounced to both the other candidates to-day that
he had been brought out as. a candidate contrary
to hie wishes, and should, at the opening to-mor
row, decline being voted for. The other tams of
the House are scarcely thought of, excepting by
the numerous dindidates themselves, and those
whO expect to obtain places under them.

information of persons who have so liberally oon
tributed, in money or otherwise, to the funds of
this association, and of all others interested in its
operations, the following report is submitted
The thrill of sorrowing indignation whioh passed
through the great heart of the North as the attack
upon Fort Sumpter, its gallant defence, and final
evacuation, flashed along the telegraphic wires,
touched' a chord in every true woman's heart, and
evoked a spirit of loyalty which yearned to find
expression in appropriate action. Under this sa
cred impulse, the ladies of many different churches
assembled in the church at the corner of Twelfth
and Walnut streets, to consider the propriety of
'organizing an association, through which, by
united and systematio effort, they might afford aid
and comfort to the sick and wounded of our army
and navy, and provide for men in active service
snob necessary clothing as is not furnished by the
Government. Suoh an organization was effected
on the 26th of April last, by the °lotion of a pre
sident. treasurer, and secretary. Committees
were then appointed, and the appropriate work of
the owlety was immediately commenoed. The
following is an exhibit of the results until June
29. 1861:
. - -
To the Military Hospital in Moyamensing the
association has furnished 25 iron bedsteads, 60
mattresses, 160 pillows, 152 sheets, 252 pillow
cases. 500 towels, 60 pairs blankets, 50 bed-spreads,
136 siok shirts,. 6 muslin shirts, bleached, 7 red
flannel shirts, 16 wrappers, cooking utensils, bas
kets, tabs, brushes, chairs, castle soap, do.. ,
beside $323 50 in money, a donation from the First
Presbyterian Church.
To the Hospital at Ohambersburg. under the
care of Dr. Throop, now removed to Hagerstown,
the society has famished 80 sheets, 70 pairs draw
ers, 50 sick shirts, 4 double wrappers, 30 bed
spreads, 50 pillow-oases, 12 pairs slippers, 17 pairs
stockings, 36 towels, 6 'sick siok-cups, a package of
dietetic articles, a box of lint and bandages, and a
bundle of half-worn clothing.
To the hospital at Camp Curtin, near Harris-
burg, they have furnished 27 shirts and 6 siek-oups.
To Camp Washington, near Barton, they have
sent 27 shirts and 6 slok-oups.
To soldiers mustered into service they have sup
plied 4,146 gray and red flannel shirts, 911 pairs
drawers, 454 flannel binds, 2
.000 havelooks, 48
pairs stoOkings, 36 pocket-handkerchiefs, a lot of
(mettle soap, 150 towels, 5,000 bags, containing pin
cushions, needles, buttons, and thread ; 309 combs,
4,000 copies Sunday School nines, and over
50,000 pages of tracts and religious books.
The society would acknowledge the receipt of
the following slims of money from the several
churches, viz : From Calvary Presbyterian Church,
$550.80 ; from Tenth Presbyterian, $632 85 ; from
Beoond Presbyterian, $294 48 ; from Central Pres

From individual members of these and other
ohurohes the society has received $950 07 in mo

From members of the Society of Friends, for
hospital use, we have received, through B. K.

ticking, sheeting, hose, do., worth
$B7 06; throush Mr. Aehbridge and Mr. Thomas,
goods worth $3O; and, from other' friends, half,
worn sheets, shirts, 40.
These contributions, in money and goods,
amount, in all, to $5,111 19.
We cannot close our report without referring to
the general - heartfelt interest in our work, mani
fested by all classes and conditions. The &filleted
inmates of our asylums for the orphan, the deaf,
and the blind, mingled their offerings of bags, pin. :
cushions, do., for the use of our brave soldiere,
with those of the gay and happy children and
youth of our nubile and private schools. thus testi
fying their appreciation of that Government, under
„whose fostering care these benign institutions have
reached their present state of efficiency.
• We would make grateful acknowledgment of thp
courtesy and kindness of the trustees of the Tenth
Presbyterian Church, in allowing the use of rooms,
and affording us other facilities for carrying op
our work.
The ladies have enlisted for the war in the
service of our soldiers ; their sympathies and in
terest are kept aglow, by the touching letters of
thanks, returned by - companies receiving their
`benefaotions, and by the earnest appeals of benevo-
lent offeers, for clothing for needy men under
their command, and for hospital stores We sym
fathize with the poor fellows , and commend them,
n prayer, to the tender care of our common Lerd
and Saviour.
The society would gladly add to their bone•
factions should the means be afforded. But their
treasury is now nearly exhausted, whilst the de.
mend for such article, as they could make up con
tinues painfully urgent. All may not be milled to
risk their lives on the field of battle, but all are
called upon to share the burdens of the men thus
engaged in deletes of our dearest earthly rights.
Donations in money or material, such as gray,
red, or white flannel, drilling, hospital stores, &0.,
arp earnestly solicited They may be sent to the
church, at Twelfth and Walnut, on, Friday or
Monday morning of this and next week, or upon
any day to the house of J. R. t nab. Seq.,

THE CITY
AN ESSAY UPON THE COHET.—Had the
aomet now visible in the northwest appeared at
any other time than this of bloodshed and battles,
the reporter would have hailed its arising with
manifest jay. As things now are, he clan afford it,
at beat, but passing remark.
Upon overhauling his school learning, he finds,
in the first place, that comets belong to our solar
system, and make revolutions about the sun with
parabolas for their orbits Comets derive their
appearance from their tails, which signify (come.
ta) hairy bodies .
About 500 comets are on record, of wbioh fifty
have been seen in the last hundred years. Their
appearance is by no means either frequent or r.
gular ; for at one time thirty-eight years elapsed
without one of these erthtio personages being visi
ble. Latterly, at least Vine comets per annum
have been revealed to the telescope.
Twenty.four or twenty-five thousand cornets
have visited the solar system since reputed orea
tion.
When we consider that we see no comets more
remote than Jupiter, and afterwards compute the
extent of the isetive force of gravity—a million
times the distanoe of Jupiter—WO conclude that
the number of comets in space is countless; in

The head of the comet of igii was 3,207 miles in
diameter; the tall of the same 130 000,000 miles
long.
Comets are always directed from the sun ; not
withstanding their immense - length; they are of
little relative weight, and in cases have rip-,
proaohed within short distances of planets, and
yet not even embarrassed their satellites .
The comet appeared last night with an elongated
tail and increased brilliancy.
THZ GLORIOUS FOURTH AND . ITS CELEBEA
TION —The celebration to-day probably not
answer the expectations of the people, and will,
probably, be altogether incommensurate with the
crisis and its patriotic demands.
The Reßell'. Grays will parade in the morning,
in company with the Home Guards, and a hand
somadisplay may be expected.
Early in the morning the Episcopal churches of
the city will be open for service Some of them
will also be open in the evening. In the letter of
Bishop Potter to the clergy, in reference' to the

ning Prayer (with or without the Litany) and with
the addition of the Special Prayers, now and for
merly set forth, may be used—or the Litany with
the Special prayers and Thanksgivings alone.
A sermon or addresses may be added. ' I exhort,
therefore, that supplication'', prayers, interces
sions, and giving of thanks, be Made for all men,
for kluge, and for all that are in authority, that we
may lead a quiet and peaceable life, in all Ciod:l
- and honesty, for this is good and aceeptabie
in the sight of God our Saviour.' "
The Young Men's• Christian Association. will
have special services in the morning, in respect to
the day, at the Baptist Church, SartBolDl street, be

A lintztatE. = Oar reporter unwittingly
made a mistake last week in stating the ease of
Alexander Montgomery.
It seems that Mr. Montgomery was regularly
employed by a merohlint of this oil. The mer
chant being his creditor in the sum of six hundred
dollars, he drew upon him in an authorized man
ner, and, the check being disputed, Mr. Mont
gomery, for his own satisfaction, insisted upon an
investigation. The Issue of the matter was the
examination of the defendant asd his release from
the charge. We are glad, in this manner, to
clear up the character of an innocent man.
Mr. Montgomery is well known in this city,
having been engaged in business here for some
years. To those who know him his oharacter le a
sufficient refutation of the report.

litary affairs are uncertain, and it was not until
afternoon that the regiment left Suffolk Park.
The men were taken on the cars of the Baltimore
Railroad Company from their camp to the foot of
Washington-street wharf. ftere the regiment was
detained a long time. It was said that Col. Baker
did not want to crowd his men on board the steam
ships waiting to take them to Fortress Monroe.
As usual, the men were taken into the large dining
saloon at the foot of Washington-street wharf, and
there furnished with a good and substantial supper

.the seoond to the third stories. After a time the
original occupants of the place came upon the
ground and made application for admission, which
was refused them. Their captain was, however,
admitted to .an audience with the command
ing officer of the Guards, and a parley
*Druid. This resulted in the announcement by
the captain of the outside party that he designed
taking possession of the apartment. lie was in
vited to "came on," and, descending the stairs, he
ordered his unarmed men to charge on the sentries,
who stood with died bayonets to receive the shook.
Fists were not of much avail against cold steel,
and the: originaltenants were repulsed. Another
parley followed, during which, it is alleged, the
captain of the outride party wrack the corporal of
the . Guard over the head with his cane. The
corporal seised the cane, and after using It freely
upon the person of its owner, he broke the stick in
two, and threw the nieces out of the window. The
corporal then ceased the arrest of his antagonist
on a charge of assault and battery, and the amused
crossed the action by bringing a similar charge
against the corporal. The hearing of- both cases
