The Advance into
The majestic march of the grand armies of
the Union, which Is now being made upon
the soil of Virginia, is one of those striking
events that historians love to immortalize
by their vivid descriptions. The world has
witnessed few such grand movements. Onr
soldiers go forth on no errand of wild ambi
tion, on no mission of plunder or oppression,
and not to revenge any slights or indignities
cast upon men onrobed In power, nor to op.
press and injure ihe citizens of the great State
they have entered. They go to re-establish
and enforce the authority of the, best and most
beneficent Government that ever existed, and
to crush tlie traitorous movement which seeks
not only to break up our glorious Union, but
to establish over half of it an• odious and
tyrannical despotism. ' They go to make the
old Commonwealth Whicti was the cradle Cf
our present Government the grave of its most
dangerous enemy the:infitineni doctrine of
Secession. ^ They go to restore, peace to a
land which has too long been overrnnhy plan
derera and oppressors, who assumed the garb
of Mends and protectors, to calm the fears of
the loyal who have been sorely -tried and
shamefully abased, - to warn the erring and
thoughtless, to strike terror into the hearts of
those who persist in maintaining a defiant
attitude, and to show the whole world, and
Mends and foes at home and abroad, that Re•
put/Reardon is not a failure, that cg the blood
of Douglas can protect itself," and a free peo
ple preserve their government against a mighty
insurrection as well es foreign foes. They go
to teach bullies and braggarts who have mis
taken semi-barbarism for courage, islad the
quiet order of civilization for cowardice, that,
much as the North has loved peace, she has
loved the country more, and that her sons,
fighting in dts defence, can display as much
bravery and as gallant a martial bearing as was
ever witnessed on a field of battle. They go,
to end, now and forever, all doubts and dis
putes about the alleged superiority of the
gt chivalry," and the practicability of the trea
sonable schemes the internal enemies of our
nation have long cherished.
They constitute as noble a band of patriots
as ever were assembled under a common ban
ner. Every loyal State is well represented in
their ranks, and as they mingle with each
other, and see of what stern stuff their asso
ciates are made, there bruit only a feeling of
emulation awakened in their breasts, but the
belief is created that, with a fkir field and un
der proper command, they are, as a body, in
deed invincible. Never before • were such
large masses of our conntrymen, from distant
points, thrown into one compact organization
for any conidderable period. And if, as
seems probable, the forces now under, com
mend of General McCazzzaw, General PAT
reason, General liicDowm, and General
Erna& should, before the campaign is ended,
unite in one great army, as, they are now
united in a common purpose, the spectacle,
will be truly sublime, and the combination of
varied talent, character, ability, strength, and
power they possess, will be unprecedented in
military annals.
Inspired by the dignity of their mission,
the holiness of their cause, and the certainty
of their triumph, they are marching onward
in a cheerful and 'jubilant spirit, making the
air vocal with the sentiments of nationality
that pervade their favorite songs, and eager to
encounter whatever dangers aro lurking in
wait for them. All minor grievances and an.
noyances are forgotten in the excitement of
vigorous action, and in the hope of • rendering
the great nation which has nourished them a
service that will be gratefully rentembered by
generations yet unborn.
-- tutr - zerutency — Ei . flee at their ap
proach, which has, in nearly all cases, been
exhibited by their antagonists, they will yet
.be compelled to encounter a vigorous resist
ance. The insurgent army, it is true, is com
posed partly of men whose sympathies are
rather with us than against us, and who will
embrace the first good opportunity that offers
to flee from their present associates, but
chiefly of men who, by the teachings of their
leaders, have been inspired by feelings of the
most intense hostility to the people of the
North, and the army of the Union. It will be
strange, indeed, it they do not Beek, in some
decisive way, to give vent to their deeply
rooted animosity. And how many martyrs to
the sacred cause of republican liberty their
weapons may make in our ranks none can tell,.
hut those who fall will
Sink to rest
With all their ocuntry's wisheehlest."
!had no future event now seems more certain
than that the cause they represent will be
gloriously triumphant, despite every effort of
which the Insurgents are capable.
The Abolition of the Coast Survey.
It was wise in the Senate not to tamper with
the Coast Survey. We do not see what con
siderations of economy , could have actuated
Senator Games and Senator TAVYBIILL to
move for its abolition. The Coast Survey Is
a department which has been erected with
great care, and by years of patience, and al
though it might be demolished in an hour, the
country would feel its loss. We can see the
propriety of reducing it to a less extensive
footing, and perhips It would bo as well to
mike the appropriation towards it low enough
to keep it alive, and no more. The presence
of hostilities will render a survey of the Atlaii
tic and Gulf coasts impossible, but it is just as
desirable that we should have an accurate sur
vey of the Lakes and the Pacific Ocean. It is
along these coasts the survey is now progress
ing.
The Coast Survey Is a peace enterprise, and
we cannot expect to have it in a flourishing
Condition, now that we are in a state of war.
Many of the vessels In the Survey should be
ordered into active service, and many of the
officers now serving in that branch of duty
might be more useful to their country in other
stations. This would be an argument in favor
of reducing it, but there is a great difference,
to oar minds, between an economical re
trenchment and Its total abolition. The lute.
rests of science and the security of navigation
would be sorely injured by a step so inju
dicious.
Apart from this, however, we have a gene
ral objection to corusideringlirty each measure
at this time. There is but one issue before
Congress now, and any matters calculated to
embarrass it should be laid upon the table, or
confided to the care of some negligent corn-
Mittee. The sooner Congress disposes of the
war business, adjourns, and goes home, the
better. The Coast Survey can wait untirDe
camber. Neither the Treasury Department
nor the President has recommended its aboli
tion, and we have confidence enough in Mr.
Secretary Quits to know that when he deems
it to be for the interest of the'country that its
operations should be suspended, he will not
hesitate to suggest the subject to Congress.

Another Fight for the Championship.
Amid graver matters at home,. it, is not
wholly unamusing to notice how eagerly and
anxiously John Buil is striving for a chano.trof
getting HEZNAX into another fightovith the
Undisguised hope of beating him, and so re
covering for the English pugilistic ring some
of the prestige which it lost by the defeat of
Sams, in the great battle with the American
champion. Nobody now doubts that HEENAN
was the conquerotin: that encounter, nor that
the umpire violated all faith in not declaring
him such, Instead of breaking up the ring.
SAMOS himself, behavingbetter than his
friends, 'virtually admitted himself defeated,
by retiring from the ring,,and allowing the
belted championship to be set up, again as the
victor's reward. The result, which ctune
a few weeks ago; wee a . prize•fight between,
a little fellow named Kam and a gigantic
competitor called Belt Err. 'MACE is a
smaller man and lighter weight than SAYERS.
HISROT is some inches over six feet high, and
weighed 288 pounds when he fought. Mann
had the science. Hum. allowed much clumsy
strength and a great deal of courage. ,He'ivas
not able to strike a • single imaahlig Mow at
Mace, who hopped around, im with*thidiona
agility, and;battered his features'almost out
all semblance of humanity.. The stakes were
$2,000, which have . been delivered to Mace,
now Champion of England- 7 -with the necessity.
of accepting all challenges which may be made
tor three . years. A. worthy, rejoicing in the
familiar name of " Tox Kirra,".has already
challenged Maeß , but Ms friends desire to
match him against our J. 0. RIMS, who is
said to have an overpowering desire again to
have a set.to somewhere in icc the tight little
island,"
,as ORAnLEN Manna used to call
England. It .1s said that challenger Kilo
would politely consent` to . waive" his, priority,
as challenger, provided that REBRAN desire to
take Ms place.
On the other band 4 g the BeniCia Boy" is
reported, in the English sporting papers; as
desirous of putting , ten,thousand dollars one

pion's belt, which has actually been delivered
to !Laos, who will certainly forfeit it, if he de
cline meeting . the ,Benician, who appears
very much in earnest: The last number of
Wilkes' Spirit . of the Times says:
, s Reiman stanch prepared to meet any man, in
England for the sum of $lO 000 a ande, and if Mace
believes that he can get the money by a fair fight,
there is a chance to win that-barge sum, and make
'himself a name greater than that of any man who
ever followed the pugilistic profeesion. Not
&lobar, Oribh, or bpring ever equalled the glory
and renown whioh will attach to Matte if - he sue.
coeds in defeating Heenan. We shall applaud him
to the very echo, whioh shall applaud again, if he
doge it; but until he does this we shall refuse to
concede his right to the Champlonehip. We have
two reasons for thie—first, we think Tom Sayers a
much better man, and Maee thought so, too, up to
a very recent period. Next, we think Heenan a
much better man than Sayers, and neither of
them is willing to admit that Mace is a better or
at good a man as himself. Between these two the
real Championship of the world lay, up to the time
when the English maaagers of the :fair virtually
conceded it to Keenan, by relinquishing the hard.
earned and'iteadfasily•maintained title of Sayers,
sooner than let him confront Heenan in the ring
again. Heenan's just title to a large interest in
the Championship was won by his own power in
the ring. It has never been won from him by
Mace, and how oan the latter be the Champion?
Yon may have two eagles upon one mountain,
or two lions in one jungle, but you can't
have two champions at one time, although
the,Pegilistio .Association may have a score of
belt to which it may pretend some value has at
tubed in virtue of its own insin - amatur. But they ,
are practically worthless, and its stamp is of no
more value than the blessing of a heathen priest
or Afrioan Fetish maker over the tools ofsavage
warfare. Thernistake it makes is looking at-the
symbol as identical with the thing, and thus it has
retained the old belt in England, while the real
championship has been vested in John 0. Heenan,
in- Amerioa. It is . just like Kossuth with the
Hungarian - crown Jewalr—be hid them away,
and thought he could thereby prevent the re
gal sway of Eranois Joseph, while the latter all
the time ruled by the sabre and baton of his Field
Marshals, and oared very little who had the crown,
while he had the sword and purse That foolish
man, James 11, thought be could' disarrange mat.
ev; in England, and bring on a condition of
anarchy by throwing the Great Seal into the river,
altogether forgetting that it was a good deal mister
to make settle than chancellors of wisdom and in
tegrity. We treat this question of , another gieat
contest for the Chammonskap as a thing cerium
to tate place. That Heenan is earnest in his de
sire for another struggle with the but man Ragland
can produoe,' we know; and we will not believe,
until we oan no longer escape from the conclusion,
that the pugilists and newspapers of ghat country
are only sating a part, and do not mean bustnette.

it is probable that at Manassas Jane Hon the enemy
will make a feeble resistance, though many here
are inclined to the opinion that even there he will
not show fight. A few hours, however, will do
able the point.
The People Aroused.
The Union peOple of Maryland are rising in
their strength, with a firm resolve to rebuke and
disarm the enemies of the country, by removing
them tram influential positions which they have
dishonored. The following is a 'copy of a printed
memorial now in circulation throughout Allegheny
county :
"To Aroasrs. 111eKrug, Gordon, and Barnard,

Col. Miles is in possession of Fairfax Court House.
On Wednesday morning the troops proceeded as
far as the arose road that leads to Sangater's Sta

Colonel Franklin's command branched off, en the
road to Sangtter's, to cut cif the railroad communi

Alabama regiment was encamped within two miles
of the forks of the road when we arrived at noon,
the camp fires of which were still burning when we
paused this afternoon, and there was every owl

beef, corn eto.,being left behind. Near this camp
we found that they had made an attempt at ereot

over by our troops. Its construction proved the
weakness of the enemy in this art of war.
In the meantime the first division, under corn

They certainly went off In' the greatest conceiv

from Germantown,, or that immediate vicinity.
That informed them, unmistakably, that their'po

,at Fairfax Court House) had boort turned—
outflanked—on their left, and that they must,
therefore,light fearful odds, surrender, or run like
quarter horses:
They preferred the latter alternative, and ao,

Among the first slots of our troops, on entering
the village, was to take down she Secession flag

A portion of Heintzieman's command advanced.
atilt further forward; same two or three miles, I
hear, along the ONLIKO and Alexandria rgilroad ;
probably to Sangster 's station—about half way on
to - Union Mills, : (from Fairfax station ) The fact
that his troops were thus advanced has given rise
to a-report here that he pushed on directly for
Manassas Junotion, which cannot be true :
My impression is that one of his briadee,.or a
portion of one of them,,made directly from Alen

above Ooccqaan ; a very important position, it
may' turn oat, in the contemplated operations
against Beauregard at the.
.It seems to be understood that Tyler's column
and most of Hunter's are by thii time on the road
between Germantown and Centreville. If Se, by
6 P. M. I think the enemy's entrenchments there
(at Centreville) will have "been turned, as the coun
try to the north'of them for some. miles is a feasible
one for military operations. If Tyler and Himter
can get past them on the right, the enemy must
leave them in double-quick time, as promptly as
they left the works so laboriously made for the
defence of their position here, (at Fairfax Court
house,) falling back upon their entrenched camps at
Manassas Junction.

FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.
Arrival of Gen. McDowell's Advance
Guard at , Centreville.
Watuirriaronr, July 18 —An officer from the seat
of the War readied here to night, and brings in
formation that the troops which marched from
Fairfax 0. H. appeared before Centreville about
ten o'clock this morning. TheX halted within half
a mile of the enemy's entrenohments, and formed
a line of battle, expecting a conflict.
The scene is represented as grand and imposing.
Instead of the smoke of battle for which they were
earnestly looking, theysuddenly saw the national
flag hoisted and a solitary man running down to
us announcing that the enemy had fled. Boon
the bands played the Btar•Bpangled Banner, amid
the cheering voloes of the Federal troops._
. .
It is said there were 7,000 or 8,000 Oenfedarate
troops at Centreville, but the number IS probably
exaggerated. They , took their °minim with them
in their flight.
The 'gentleman who gave the information states
that the .village of dermantown had not been de
stroyed, as reported, although a house or two west
burnt. .
It IS stated, on the authority of several officers,
that the news of General McClellan's victories had
just become generally known at ManassaaJanction.
The army was . to have marched on Manaspe
,Janotion thiSafternoon.
Reports are prevalent here, which are credited,
that a fight of minor importance took place at Bail
Eton, five miles from the Junction, and that several
of the Federal troops were killed and wounded by
the battery of a Uarolins regiment.
Up to one o'olook„we have received nothing

Thelreason for this move is, that Winchester is de

Mr. Hans, of New Hampshire, hoped the amend
ment would not be put on this bill.
After a abort debate, the amendment was re.
jeoted.
Mr. BALE moved to take up the bill for the better
orgarization of the marine corps, which was agreed
to. The amendments of the Naval Committee were
adopted, and the bill paned
Mr. WiLson, from the Military Committee, re
ported book the bill for the better organttation of
the army with the amendments made yesterday
and others
The hour for the special order having arrived, oz
which Mr. Bayard, of Delaware, had the flyer, it
was postponed till to-morrow, and the amendments
of the Military Committee were considered. The
amendment in regard to filling the vacancies at the
Westßoint Aoademy led to a very long discussion,
and a groat number of minor amendments were
offered. The matter was finally settled by striking
out all that relates to filling the vacancies.
After further consideration, the ofßoora On the
'retired list were authorized t, receive their pay
proper, but no extra allowances.
Mr.. Powata., of Kentucky, slated as an amend ,
went that no part of the army or navy be used to
subjugate or hold as conquered provinoee any so
vereign State, lately one of the United States, nor
,in any, way Interfere with African slavery.
Mr. Lean said that he would like to add' except
to suppress rebellion and bang traitors.
Mr. EEBRKAN, of Ohio, said he was astonished
at snob an amendment. Be wished to repel any
such insinuation. It was no. part or objeot of the
Government to subjugate States, or abolish Slave
ry.: The purpose was to maintain the national
honor, upheld the national flag everywhere. Be
simply ' wished to maintain the Constitution. It
was only 'than who wished to break up the Go.
vernment that wished to alter the Constitution.
Be..would nut alter a line , but would not allow
the Amputation to be fixed'on his constituents...
Mr. PORII.L, of Kentoky, said, from what he bad
heard here and elsewhere, the people of the South
might be well alarmed that this war was intended
to subjugate them and abolish slavery Be referred
to the speeches of the Senators from Connecticut
(Mr. Dixon) and from Oregon, (Mr. Baker,) and
the bill of the Senator from Conneotiout.
Mr. Di.tott explained that be bad said'that, in
mute the eontett came to the question between
fluidly and slavery, he believed the people would
say that slavery mast go down ; and be still said
..
Mr. LaMI, of Kansas, moved to amend the bill as
follows, "unless it shall beoome necessary in en
forcing the 'awe or maintaining the Constitution."
He said he represented a State trampled on by the
stiv,e oligarchy. He found cruelty of all kinds
practised upon them ; yet he would have abided
by, the 'cora promises of the Constitution, and per
mitted slavery to exist in tbe.States where it wash
But it had.foreed a war upon us, and he did believe
that @laver, would not survive after the march of
the Union army ; and be thanked God it was so.
The whole country ha , been accursed with it. In
all the troubles in Kansas ne one from that side
complained, but now complain that the President ,
violated the Constitution. He thought it was bet
ter
that slavery should perish, and he wanted his '
avowal to go to the country, rather than one inch
of .the Union should be parted With
Mr. Canima, of Virginia, said that he regretted
the introduction of the amendment. He thought
it an injustice to charge , the rebellion to the insti
tution of slavery. The great and good-man who
clorduoted the war of the Revolution was himself
a slaveholder, and some of the warmest friends of
the Union now were slaveoivriers. This was net
a war for subjugation, and he did not want the
false impression to go to the loyal men. ho were
struggling to preserve the Union. •
, Mr. BROWNING, of Illinois, said that -he could
not regret the introduotion of the amendment. Re
believed that the whole trouble had grown.out of
the institution of alattery— , htd grown Out of the
struggle to exeunt itself where it had no right to
,go. Never had there been such forbearance as
was - shown by the North ; never a more atrocious
rebellion or causeless treason He thought this
was a war of subjugation, but expressly to subju ,
gale rebellion _
Mr: BURRUAN, of Chio,,sald, that it .was net a
war to subjugate States.- It was to subjugate re ,
hellions citizens, but the States remain.
Mr , BROWAING said he: might 0811 it what he
pleased Ite was for su bjugation r The ootttest
was, to decide whether there was any such thing
as the Government, and a struggle for the lile of
the nation. He wished to.saY that be approved to
the uttermost Went the acts of the President ; and
he would have been recreant to his duty and oath
if he had not dens all he could to preserve the
Union. Treason was working everywhere The
,osipital was threatened, and the President had
balled on the Stites for its defenoe ; yet benatora
from Kentucky and Missouri approved the re
:falai of the Governments of those States to respond
to the call of the President,
Mr. POWELL, of Kentucky, said the eanital was
not in danger when Virginia was in the Union.
Mr. -BROWNING said if the teapitid was not in
danger, then there never was danger. lie argued
that 'the loyal States had no ;right to refuse the
call of the President. Be: said, if the bane was
forced upon the people whether slavery or the Go
tiernment should go down with all the hopes of the
flittire for liberty, he would Dave the twat vestige

Mr. Powann Contended that the evident object
of the war was to abolish slavery, and he hoped
the Senator from Ohio coilld'see it.
Mr:Bailsman said that he was not used to such
a•style of argument. Nobody wanted to - abolish'
slavery unless such an issue was forced upon
' them ; but rather - than one inch of the country
should be torn sway by the traitors, he wonid
have the slaves liberated. He disclaimed any
intention of this kind unless -the issue was forced
on them.
Mr/Pow - att. said that, the . Senator from Kansas
had said that slavery Would survive the
march of the Miry of the Union.
Mr. Lane, of Kangas:said' he had said so, and
believed that the slaves
,would join_ them when the
army marched in, and heinis.noi going to make a
slave of himself to reknit' them.. •
Mr.'Peorimr: rejoined; conteding that ,ilavery
was not a curse, and . if; the Intent was to destroy
property, it was a war of robbery,
Mr Bananas offered a substitute, that ilientir
pose of this military eatabilahment is to Provide for
the preservation of the Union, to‘defend property.
and maintain the Constitution and the authority of
the Union.
Mr Passzanza, of Maine, said be supposed the
amendment o ff ered was simply to call out the Sena

Mr. RICK MAN ' of Pennsylvania, from the Com
mittee on the Judiciary, to whom Mr Potter's
resolution was referred, direoting them to inquire
as to whether the Hon Henry May, of Maryland,
has been or is now holding criminal lute-course
with those in armed rebellion against the United.
Mates, dm. reported that the gentleman who moved
the resolution was called before the committee, but
had no evidence tending to prove Mr. May's guilt
in this particular, the resolution being preditatei
on newspaper articles only. The committee having
no evidence to Implicate the gentleman, room tx end
that no notion in the case is necessary on the part
et the House. The committee further say that the
investigation will entirely relieve the President
and General Scott from any suspicion of a cone
epondenoe, or attempted correspondence, through
Mr May.
Oa motion of Mr. lircimen, the report was hld
on the table.
Mr MAY, by permission of the House, made a
personal explanation. Be was more than gratified
that the Committee on the Judiciary had, in this
decisive way, condemned an unilaralieled outrage
upon him and his constituents, and that on limed
gation by those called upon to adduce proof, bad
to admit that there wait no ground of evident)e for
the charge, but that it was based en a mere news.
paper rumor -the idle gossip of the henr—end on
this a representative of the people asie obarged with
a heirtons offence. 16 had no words in which
he could pronounce hie indignation and die
gust at such a proceeding. Before he Dame
hither, he bad under consideration whether
he could enter upon his duties as a Repre
sentative, because of the hemiliatip he felt
at the attitude of his .constituents now bound
in chains, without the rihts of a free people—all
their precious rights un der our Constitution being
prostrated and trampled in the duet. The military
hid arrested nnoffending citizens in the dead hour
or the night, and incarcerated them in forts; there
bad been seizures and searches without legal pre.
text or justifioation; injuries had been inflicted
without redress ; and was it not natural that' he
should feel indignant under these wrongs? And
was it not a reasonable hope there was yet a re•
deeming spirit in one Constltationtlame angel of
time?
Mr. BUTCHIRII, of Ohio, understood tlfe gentle
man had obtained leave to make a fertional.expls
nation, bat, instead, of that, he was bringing
charges as-to the manner in which his constituents
were treated. He therefore made this point of
Order.
The EIpEAKER replied that he had no control
over the line of kemark. in reference to which the .
House must judlie for itself.
Mr. MAY resumed, saying that he had fought
against the monstrous heresy of secession. lie had
stood faithfully by the - Union of the States, and:
meant to stand by it. Re claimed that he pos
sassed the spirit of a freeman to emancipate his
constituents from tyranny and oppression.
Mr. &rattans, of Pennsylvania, interrupting,
moved, as the sense of the House, that Mr. May s
remarks were not in order.
The &quotas suggested that Mr. Stevens must
present his objection as a point of order.
Mr. ST.VOII2IB did so, saying that Mr May was
out of order, and, therefore, ought not to be per
mitted to proceed.-
The SIMAKEVI repeated that it was for the . House
to control the line of debate.'
Mr. &minim appealed from the decision - of
the chair
Mr. VALLANDIMIAN, of Ohio, moved to lay the
appeal on the table. Disagreed to—yeas 52,
nays 82.
After further proceedings, the decision of the
chair was overruled
Oa motion of Mr. Davria. of Maasachusetts, the
gentleman from Maryland (Mr May) was allowed
to continue his remarks in order
Mr. Mrs said that when he shall be restored to
health, and when the freedom of debate shall be
oven to the Amerioan liepreaentativeit, he would
speak as become him. /n conolusion, he contented
himself by asking that a memorial he proposed to
rubmit; couched in reapeolful and patriotic lan
guage, be referred to a committee, and that they
be inatruoted to make report thereon.
- Mr Cor.yrsx. of Indiana. Is ft the memorial of
the Baltimore Polio* Commissioners?
Mr. MAT. It is
Mr. Comex- It oan be presented under the
rules as memorials of other members are pre
sented.
Mr. MAY. This being a question of persona
Liberty, it should have the benefit of open pre
sentatlon.
Mr. Cor.rex had no objection that the memorial
be referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
AS the gentleman had expressed his surprise at
the manner in which be was Unwed by the Re
publican aide of the House, he (Mr. Colfax) de
sired to say that he was always for the largest
liberty of speech. If the gentleman had confined
himself to a personal vindication, for which the
House had given him permission, instead of at
tacking the military authorities in- Baltimore, he
would have stood by him. In response to the gen
tleman's declaration of his determination to stand
by the Union, he said he supposed Mr. May had
been grossly misrepresented by a Riohmond corre
spondent of a Charleston paper, which asserts that
he expressed to the so-called Confederate Govern-
Meat that thirty thousand men in Maryland were
ready to rise in arms against the Federal forces in
that city.
Mr. Max said that this was the first intimation
which had reached him of such a letter. He had
not seen it.. The letter in question was banded to
him, when Mr. May read the first part of it.
Mr. THOMAS, of Maryland, said, read the re
sidne.
liolee4—" Read it." "That's right."
Mr. Runuator. of Kentucky, here called atten
tion to the tact, that persons not priVileged had In
traded themselves on the floor.
The SPIRAIEZII said the point was well taken, and
directed the doorkeeper to enforce the rule.
Mr. Mar resuming, said be had no objection to
the reading of the entire article.
The Cruax then read It. The letter was dated
Richmond, July 4th, and, among other things, said
that the object -of Mr. May's 'visit had not Iran
- -' it was wh'apered that it looked to ner
.. • .
m_ee he
that Baltimore was under the heel of the'tyrant
women insulted, and outrages such as should make
menkind blush wore eotasuitted In fact, there
was a reign of terror. The intelligenoe inspirid
the strongest hope that the day of retaliation was
not far distant„ and that thirty thousand Mary
hinders would rise in arms. Although an attempt
had been made to deprive them of their arms;
eight thousand muskets were concealed and guard
ed night and day, Ac .
Mr. Met said he did not know who wrote the
letter r and it wee elsolately untrue that he coin
munioated.to the author any snob things It was
equally.untrue, in point of fact, that thirty thou
sand men were ready to rise against the Govern
ment, as therein stated. But there were more than
thirty thotrsend freemen, who, if the present op
pression shall not be removed, will vindicate their
constitutional rights. He was one of the num•
her, and placed himself on the around of con
stitational rights, on the groutd of reels:log
tyranny and oppreesion, and on grounds eons
searated by Divine right; but as to a con
spiracy against the Uaited•States and the Fede
ral authorities in Maryland to overturn them and
this Government, the thing is absolutely preposter
ous. Itnever existed. The contrary was:marled
by miserable miscreants and spies, who resorted to
malicious falsehoods. He oomplained on such
grounds as these that a people loyal and true to
the Constitution are dominated over and crushed
under the heel of military power. He denounced
it as an unparalleled outrage He knew what he
bad done in this business. Ile invoked -scrutiny.
He was eleCted as a representative of peace and
compromise, by a large mAjority, as a Union man,
looking to the salvation of this great, glorious, and
happy country. He stood here committed to
such measures as will uphold and maintain it.
He would lay down his rife to secure this object.
No frowns nor grimaces should shake his love of
peace It was true that he went to Virginia, the
mother of States, which was so closely allied to
Marylaid in blood and interest. He felt that he
bad a right.to inquire into the disposition of the
people of the South, and to find out the views
of the Government established over them„ in
order that he might do everything to assuage
this frightful civil strife. He felt that his motive
were the Most honorable of his iffo. - Before going
to Richmond be celled on: the • President of the
United States, and stated frankly and' fully , his
okkot. 'He did not ask him for his saltation He
did not With to embarrass him. He asked his per
mission to leave Washington and eroes over into
Virginia. It was - moot distinctly understood that
be went thither on the most private minion. He
asked the President for the necessary formality for
that purpose The President gave him permission
to obtain a passport from Gen. Scott on this repre
sentation. It was not objected that he should go
to Richmond on his own responsibility. He thus
vindicated these gentlemen from. the charges of
r being implicated in any way with the object of
' hie visit. All the crime and treason, if it was so
called, rests on himself, and he was oontent to
bear it.
Mr. Clourtx said that if the gentleman would
compare the first part of his speech, as It would be
printed in to-morrow's Globe, with the first part of
the Richmond letter, he would see a striking re
semblance If, as the gentleman remarked, while
going to Biohmond in the capacity of a mediator,
he used the same language. there that be bad here,
dennnolatory of the Government and Its offusers, I
and if, u he said, he hesitated to take the oath to
support the Constitution and, as he also added, he
was one of over thirty thousand men to resist ag
gretsion on their rights, he (Mr Colfax) should not
be surprised to -bear that the rebel Government
reemenised him rather as a sympathizer than as a
mediator. •
Mr. Mat-replied - that he could not help the con
citations of the gentleman. It was, however, ab
solutely true that the domination of the troops in
Baltimore was a matter of history, as well known
to the writer of the letter as to himeolf He dared
say that during the conversation in Richmond, and
everywhere, he had spoken in condemnation of
tyranny, btit ae to the concealment of arms, he
never heard of it, except ass suspicion. If he had
made the declaration that be would never take the
oath to. support the Constitution he never would
have been seen in this hall .
Mr. Cot.rsz I only referred to what you said.
Mr MAY. Not to taking the oath. I have taken
itin twenty States at the bar. -
Mr. Twomse, of Maryland, sexed permission to
say a few words, promising that he would not abuse
the privilege.
Mr Boareser, of Kentucky, said he did not un
derstand what the gentleman was going to talk
about
Mr. Tauten would expiate in a few words.
Here was a condition of affairs in Maryland pain
ful to every °Risen within its'borders, and. he uri
dertook to staid here and aver that she, in her
heart of hearts, speaking through a lan e majority,
thanked the President for slothing the Lieutenant
General with the power to deolere martial law,
and approved, as he did, the : manner in which the
power had been exerolsed by Maj Gen. Banks.

Maryland is satiated with her condition in the
Union, and meant to maintain It on the battle-field
of the State or elsewhere. He then proceeded to
vindicate the declaration of martial law, and al
luded in terms of undemnstion to what he termed
the monstrous and treasonable outrage committed
in Baltimore on the troop" in passing through to
the capital to vindicate the law and preserve the
