Churches.— Pies® Church, Victor, N. Y.—The new edifice of the First Church of Vlotor, was dedi cated to God on Thursday, the 13th of June. The services were highly interesting, and were attended by a large and overflowing audience. The sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Shaw, of Rochester. The congregation of the Second Church in Morristown, New Jersey, has resolved to withdraw from the Pres bytery of Passaic (O. S.) and unite with the Presby tery of Newark (N. S.) The Park Press. Church, of Brooklyn (Rev. T. L. Cuyler’s) have carried their new and imposing edifice up to the roof; and in or der to ensure the completion of the building they need a certain sum—for two thousand dollars of which they must look to their Presbyterian neighbors of New York and Brooklyn. Their present tempo rary house of worship is over-crowded, and a large number of families are excluded for want of room. The Park congregation are building an edifice of great size for a very moderate sum, and under a most favorable contract. We trust that the wealthy churches around us will not allow this important en terprise to be arrested for want of timely aid.— Evangelist. Leroy University is distributing honorary de grees with great liberality. We notice the follow ingt- Thut of Doctor in Divinity, on Rev. Sam. H. Hall, of Oswego, New York; Rev. Samuel J. Spalding, Xpwburyport, Mass.; and Rev. George Fisoh, Salle Taitbout Chapel, Paris, France. And the Degree of Doctor of Laws (LL, D.) on the fullowing persons, namely! Rev. Benjamin W, Dwight. Clinton, New York; Rev. Henry N. Day, College Hill, Ohio; Pro fessor Charles Dexter Cleveland, Philadelphia, Pa.; Professor T. S. Lambert, M. D., Peekskil), New York. On special motion afterward, the Council conferred the same Degree (Doctor of Laws) on a gallant and worthy hero of our battles, now in the field— Major-General Georgs B. McClellan, of the United States Army. A Successful Enterprise.—' Three years ago, the Church on Madison Square, New York, Rev, Dr. Adams, pastor, commenced a missionary enterprise at the corner of Thirty-first street and Third avenue, k the organization of a Sunday-school. It had a small beginning. Now the school numbers from 600 u 700 pupils as the average attendance on Sunday mornings. The Church has organized a branch here, with a settled pastor, Rev. Mr. Payson, who is the missionary of the eharch. It was organized with twelve members. On Sunday, the 7th, a communion service was held, and twelve were added, on profes -ion uf their faith, making the whole number now twenty-four. The infant-school is nearly 300, and owes its prosperity very muoh to the efforts of one men. The congregation Is large, and constantly in creasing.—Christian Intelligencer. Tite Gall of Rev. Dr, Heaoook.— -At a meeting of the Buffalo Presbytery, on the 2d Inst., the ques tion of the acoeptanoy by Dr, Heaoook of the call to the pastorate of the North Church, Buffalo, was inally settled, The unanimous vote of the Presby tery, after a Ml hearing of the representatives from both eharahes, was, in effect, that the North Church should desist from their sail, and that Dr. H, should remain with the people whom he had served so long and so well.— Advocate. OTHER BRANCHES Of TH£ PRESBYTE RIAN CHURCH. Divisive Action itt the South.— The Presbytery of Memphis, Tennessee, have unanimously adopted an ordinance of Secession from the General Assem bly of the Old School Presbyterian Church of the United States, and it is said that the Presbyteries of the other Rebel States will take action. In Virginia the following circular is being distri buted among the Presbyteries, and is reported os rapidly obtaining signatures: Whereas, The General Assembly of the Presbyte rian Church, Old School, with whieh we have here tofore been in cordial connexion, has, by the vote of a large majority of its members, as reported, sus tained the Government of the United States in waging one of the most unchristian, criminal, and atrocious wars of modern times, upon the free and sovereign States known as the Confederate States of America, thereby violating the first principles of our holy reli gion, in its injunction of “ Peace on earth, and good will to men,” and in its prohibition of aggressive war upon any people struggling for their independence and liberties— Therefore , The Ministers and Elders of the ''Wehea in Baid Confederate States are hereby in diod to assemble in advisory Convention, in such ra tio of representation as may seem to them advisable, « Richmond, Va., on the 24th of July next, to ad- T i«e and recommend measures to ascertain the sense of the Presbyterians in regard to the formation of a General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the Confederate States of America.

Religious Services in Camp.— We are glad to learn that the religious services held in the Second Connecticut Regiment encampment are becoming quite interesting, and already show good results! Several of the soldiers are renewing or commencing the Christian life. It gratifies us to know that the chaplain of this regiment, Rev. S. Herbert Laneey, has devoted himself faithfully to the work in which he is engaged. He preaches twioe oh the Sabbath, and holds a prayer meeting in the evening, and on Wednesday evenings delivers a Bible lecture, which is followed by a prayer-meeting. In addition to this, a prayer-meeting is held every Friday evening. Each regiment has its praying mou, many or few; let them come together often, and ou bended knees pray for peace, pray for victory, pray for the salvation of the ir unconverted comrades, and the “God of Battles" will hear and answer their prayers, and crown their labors and their arms with a glorious success.— Washington Republican. 9efes 0! tjje SlraggU. The President’s Message, which we inserted last week, compelled the exclusion of the usual amount of information which we have been giving of the struggle. We can only briefly allude to a num ber of the events of week before last, in order to leave room for others of a more recent date. The battle or skirmish at Hoke's Run, as it is now fenerally called, took place on the morning of July d, when only a small force on both sides—say two thousand of each party—was engaged. Our lose in the action was two killed and nine wounded. But almost a whole company of our men were taken by rebel cavalry, who it is said were dressed so much like our own, that the men were deceived until they were completely in their power. The enemy repre sent that they bad but three killed; but they retreated so speedily that our main body could not oome up in time to take part in the conflict, whence, and from the evident effectof our shots, it is believed that they must have lost ten times the number stated. A later account says, it is estimated that the rebels had sixty killed and wounded. The farmers show the graves of ten rebels buried by them, having been found hor ribly mutilated by Perkins’ howitzers. The same day, Gen. Patterson occupied Martins burg, the scene of a wholesale destruction of railroad property, belonging to the Baltimore and Ohio road, consisting of forty-eight locomotives with freight cars, valued at about a million of dollars. On the same day (July 2,) the legislature of loyal Virginia convened at Wheeling, and Gov. Pierpoint sent in his message, whieh is a brief, sensible state ment of the position of affairs, and of the shameful manner in whieh Virginia has been hnrried oat of the Union. The full recognition of the new govern ment by the Cabinet is set forth in the message. Twenty-seven thousand dollars in gold, belonging to the State, was seized at the Exchange Bank, at Wes ton, where it lay on deposit, and was brought to Wheeling. East Tennessee, where the Union sentiment pre dominates, will in ail probability follow the example of Western Virginia. In Missouri, no movements of importance were taking place, and the retreat of Gov. Jaokson had been so rapid and secret as to baffle effective pursuit. The State Convention had been summoned to recon struct the Government, and at the same time a proc lamation by one of the Secession functionaries bad been issued, calling for the assembling of the Legis lature in the southwestern part of the State. It is claimed tbatC. 11. Foster has been informally eleoted a Representative to Congress by Union men in North Carolina. He is* now in Washington, but has not been admitted to a seat. Prom the South, we learn that Bishop Polk, of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Louisiana, has been appointed Brigadier-General in the southern army, and assigned to the important command of the Lower Mississippi. We shall probably hear no more of the fanaticism of northern preachers, or of the conservatism of this most conservative of the Ameri- can ejiurches. . . Kentucky bas forwarded $lOO,OOO to New York, to pay interest on her State debt. Tbe State of Florida —tbe only one among the se ceded States—bos also sent funds for the same pur pose. The interest on the debt of the city of Mobile has also been provided for, ... It is claimed that 360,000 troops have offered their services to the rebel States Mr. Russell, correspondent of the Lon don Times, testifies that, in order to raise $1,500 cash in New Orleans, a gentleman of the highest respect ability was obliged to hypothecate $lO,OOO rebel bonds, for which a month before he had paid at par value in coin. A party of rebel Baltimoreans in disguise got on board the river steamer St. Nieholas, plying from that city up the Potomao, seized and handed her over to the Virginia rebels, and then boldly returned to attempt tbe same trick on other boats. Tbe ring leader and several of his associates have been ar rested, and are safely lodged in that terror of Balti more traitors, Fort McHenry. Col., now Major-General Fremont, .has been ap pointed to the command of the West, including the expedition for the opening of the Mississippi. This appointment gives very general satisfaction. The Norm. Colonel Baker and bis Regiment which arrived here on Saturday, June 29th, were received with great enthusiasm. Nine hundred of them are Phi ladelphians. The Inquirer says: The field officers are also Philadelphians, the Lieu tenant-Colonel, Isaac W, Wistar, and the Major, Ro bert A. Parrish, being highly esteemed members of our bar, and junior branches of- two of the most widely known Quaker families of the eity. At least one of them, we believe, still retains his birthright in tbe Society of Friends. But at the head of these, and tbe central figure in the eyes of all observers, was Oolonel or Senator Baker, a man whose life has been almost a romance. He, too, is an old Philadelphian, and of Quaker lineage. His ancestors were English Friends. Colonel Baker himself was born in Eng land, but was brought to Philadelphia when an in fant, where he, with a younger brother, were left or phans soon after their arrival. This calamity left them no resource but to work their way through the world with their own hands. Fora while,young Baker, the present senator, worked as a hand-loom weaver in a small manufacturing establishment near Thirteenth and South Sts., where the loom upon which he labored is still standing. ( Unk. MAINE, §tJMsfrgtman attd 6*«t*t* dm-gtliift Before he reached manhood he paid some attention ; to .the-study of the law, and left Philadelphia for the Great West. His purse being light, he and his young brother crossed the Alleghenies, and went through Ohio and Indiana, all the way, on foot, un til they reached the Wabash river, which they de scended in a canoe, and at last found themselveß on the broad prairies of Illinois. Thus, according to the Inquirer , commenced Col. Baker s acquaintance with the West, which has since extended to California and Oregon, from which latter State he is now a U. S. Senator. The_ Volunteer Refreshment Association of Philadelphia is quite in keeping with the character of the city as one of the best supplied with the com forts and good things of this life, and one of the rea diest,to organize for the supply of the needy. When the hungry regiments on their way from the North to the seat of war, landed at Washington Street wharf, the inhabitants of that section, each in hiß in dividual eapacity, attempted to provide for the wants of the men. This effort soon became a regular sys tem, and buildings were secured near the landing, and extensive arrangements made for a prompt and full supply of the wants of each regiment as it halted preparatory to its transfer to the Baltimore Railroad. In about two weeks no less than fifteen thousand men enjoyed the hospitality of the Yolunteer Refresh ment Committee. This Association consists of twelve ladies and fif teen gentlemen. They are required by self-imposed rules to be on hand at any hour of the night or day —or send a substitute. No one of the Association receives pay except two women, who wash the dishes and towels. The following amount of food is about what is used to supply each regiment—2so loaves of bread, 18 large, hams, one large cheese, 19 pounds of butter, besides sausages, pickles, and other little niceties which may he furnished voluntarily. One hundred and twenty gallons of coffee are boiled at one time— five hundred gallons have been used in one day. The kindling wood, and everything for a qnick fire, is ready, the coffee is ground, and the moment the gun is fired to announce the approach of a regiment, the fires are started and the coffee is boiled by the time of disembarkation. The men are then refreshed, and they are soon on their way South. A letter-box is kept by the committee for the accommodation of any soldier who may wish to deposit a letter or write home. Writing materials are furnished by the Com mittee. The members appear to vie with each other iu the energetic performance of their duties. Medical attendance is also furnished to such of the soldiers as may need it. Western Virginia. United States* Senators.— John S. Garble, of Harrison Co., Va., was unanimously elected United 1 Senator for the long term, in place of R. M. T. Hooter; and Walter P. Willey, in place of J. M. : Mason, for the short time. Other elections for State ■ officers took place. The, recognition of the new go vernment is gradually extending all over Western ; Virginia. Skirmish at Laurel Hill— On Thursday, the i 11th, a skirmish took place between some Ohio and ’ Indiana troops, of General McClellan's outposts, and : a Georgia regiment, in which the latter, after suffer ing seriously, retreated in disorder, and could not be , brought up to the work again. Battle of Rich Mountain—On the 12th (Fri : day,) the rebels, 2000 strong, were driven from an intrenched camp on Rich Mountain, about eight miles from Beverly. The fight, which was desperate, lasted one hour and a half; the enemy losing 60 killed, and a large number in wounded and prisoners, besides 6 guns, many horses, wagons, camp equipage, &c. Our loss was 20 killed and 40 wounded. The troops engaged on our side were of the Bth. 10th, and 13th Indiana regiments, and the 19th Ohio, under General Roseneranz, and forming part of Major-Gen. McClellandVcommand. From General McClellan’s last official dispatch it appears that he followed up this victory near Beverly by pushing against that place and routing the rebels. The enemy lost 151 killed and wounded, 100 taken prisoners, 6 brass cannons, ail their camp equipage transportation. Our loss was 11 killed and 35 wounded. The rebel force numbered 10,000. He also telegraphs that he has received propo sitions from Colonel Pegram for the surrender of himself, officers, and the remnant of his command, 600 men. This will increase the prisoners to nearly 1000. Washington and Eastern Virginia. V. S. FORCES IN AND NEAR WASHINGTON, JULY 7.

Scott and the President, and was strictly guarded and Bpeedily sent back, with small gain to himself, un less he only came to observe our position. The pur port of his message has not certainly transpired. The latest surmise is as follows: The contents of the letter borne by Capt. Taylor, under a flag of truce, from Jefferson Jiavis to Presi dent Lincoln, sre understood to be: Ist. A protest against the recognition by this go vernment of the new, or as the Secessionist* term it, the usurped and treasonable (!) State government lately set up at Wheeling; and, 2d. A protest against the invasion of “the sacred soil of Virginia” by United States troops. The treatment of the matter by Gen. Scott and tbe President is admired universally. Col. Stone at Martinsburg.— A son of the late Dr. Bailey, who is with Col. Stone’s column in Vir ginia, writes to bis friends in Baltimore that the Colonel’s command occupies the ground held by Gen. Patterson in his first battle with the rebels. Pickets Withdrawn. —Alexandria, July 11.— Reports from. Fairfax Court-house indicate tbe gra dual withdrawal of the rebel forces. A farmer from that vioinity reports that the pickets, which have hitherto extended two miles outside of Fairfax; were withdrawn the day before yesterday. The Border. Battle near Carthage, Jasper County, in tbe southwest of Missouri.—lmmediately after the arri val of Brigadier-General Sweeney at Springfield, ho despatched a messenger to Colonels Siegel and Solo mans, who were encamped at Neosho, to move their columns to Carthage, which was promptly done. . On the. morning of the sth, Col. Siegel, with a por tion of his regiment, a part of Col. Solomans’, and ten pieces of artillery, in all about 1100 to 1200 men, were attacked by 6000 rebels, under General Raines and Oolonel Parsons, about seven miles east of Car thage. The enemy had many mounted men, and were posted on an eminence. They bad no grape, and their artillerists being poor, their balls weht over the Federals’ heads. Colonel Siegel began the action at half-past nine in the morning, at 800 yards, breaking the enemy’s centre twice, and after two hours’ fighting silenced their artillery. Col. Siegel then fell back on Car thage, tbe enemy'a cavalry harassing his flank. The retreat continued till a point was reached where the road passed through a high bluff on each side, where the enemy’s cavalry posted in large numbers by a feint, as if intending to pass around tbe bluff. . Siegel threw his artillery into a solid body into the road, at a distance of 150 yards from his posi tion, when by a rapid movement of- his artillery he poured a heavy cross-fire of Bannister into their ranks, and at the same time the infantry charged at double quick. In ten minutes the State forces scattered in every direction. Eighty-five riderless horses were captured; sixty-five shot-guns, and a number of re volvers and bowie-knives were picked up from the ground. ' ' Col. Siegel did not surround Carthage, as was re ported yesterday, but attempted to reach Pierre woods, north of the town, and after two hoars’ des perate fighting, in which all the forces on both sides were engaged, and in which our informant thinks the enemy lost 200 killed, he succeeded in doing so. The rebels retired to Carthage, and Siegel fell back on Saraeoxie, whence he proceeded the next day to Mt. Vernon. Our loss was 8 killed and 45 wounded. Lieut. Tusk rode to Rolla, 153 miles, in 29 hours. He met Gen. Sweeney’s command 5 miles, and Col. Brown’s regiment 16 miles from Mt. Vermon, both pressing forward to reinforce Siegel. Lieut.-Col. Wolff was not killed, as reported. Gen. Lyon was at Leesville, Sunday morning, June 30th, and Major Sturgis was at Clinton on the same day. They expected to form a junction about two miles from Clinton on Sunday night. Another in Northern Missouri.— Sixteen hun dred rebel cavalry, under Gen. Harris, attacked 500 United States troops near Monroe station, 30 miles from Hannibal, on the Hannibal and St. Joseph Rail road, on Thursday morning the 11th, and were re pulsed with the loss of four killed, five captured, and several wounded. The United States troops also took seven horses. Our men pursued the enemy, were again attacked, and again victorious. They then took up a position and sent for reinforcements, and while there were surrounded by the enemy, who being all cavalry had the advantage of them. An unsuccessful attempt was made to burn the Salt River bridge, on the same road, July 10th, the fire going out after the rebels left. Still Another.— The United States troops above described as surrounded, were reinforced by infantry from Hannibal the next day, and by cavalry from Quinoy, Ills. By the latter arm, which arrived at dusk, the rebels were utterly routed, with a loss of twenty or thirty killed, seventy prisoners, one gun, and a number of horses. None we|f killed on our side, but several severely, wounded. The leader, Harris, escaped. . ' > The South Eaten Out by Negroes. —lt is the owners of a few large plantations at the South whe have been the main supporters, so far, of the rebellion. Mr. Rus sell’s letters are abundant evidence of the indiffe rence of the masses of the people, as shown by their not enlisting. ' Contraband of War. —Parson Brownlow, of the Knoxville Whig, is faithful to the Union even in that perilous proximity to armed and unabashed rebellion. The Press thus speaks of an article by the Whig, on the recent action of the Lawyer General Butler, in regard to runaway slaves: “ The action of General Butler in declaring the slaves who have fled to his camp contraband of war, having, been severely denounced in southern journals, the Whig cites a number of precedent! for such a pro ceeding. Among them are the following: In 1838, General Jessup had captured many slaves and In dians in Florida, and ordered them West of the Mis sissippi. When they arrived at Njaw Orleans, the owners of the slaves instituted legal proceedings for their recovery; but General Gaines, who was then commander of that district, refused to deliver them up to the sheriff. His defence before me court ( which was afterwards presented to Congress) was that, in “time of war, all slaves were belligerents as much as their masters;” that the slaves aniYlndians wore captured in war, and held as prisoners of war; that' he could only be guided as a military officer by the laws of war, and that “ while engaged in maintain ing the Federal Government by force of arms,” the laws of any State must yield to its safety. His action was fully confirmed after a long consideration of it, and the slaves were I sent west of the Mississippi, where they were set free. In 1838, General Taylor also captured, in Florida, a number of negroes, who were claimed by alleged owners as fugitive slaves ; but he replied that he had no prisoners “except prisoners of war,” and, refusing to allow the claim ants to examine them, he sent them West, where they were set free. In 1836, General Jessup em ployed some fugitive slaves to act as spies and guides, stipulating that, if they served him) faithfully, he would secure their liberty. The contract was kept on both sides, and the negroes were sent to the West and emancipated. In December, 1814, General An drew Jackson seized upon a large number of slaves at and near New Orleans, to assist in erecting fortifi cations for its protection. Their owners were very indignant, but he disregarded their remonstrances. During the various skirmishes and ibattles which occurred a number of them were killed, and their masters carried their complaints against the Hero of the Hermitage for seizing their property, and .their claims against the Government for compensation for those who had been killed, to President Madison and his Cabinet, and the result was that the' course of General Jackson was approved, and Congress refused to pay for the slaves who had been killed—many southern members voting against appropriations for that purpose. The Whig thinks precedents of this kind show that if Butler should eventually send back the slaves in his possession, he would prove “ less of an Abolitionist than the great southern generals have been.” Items.—’On Sunday week, an attempt was made to blow up the Potomac fleet with floating infernal machines.—They were discovered and towed to Washington.—Two three months’ Pennsylvania Re giments have offered and been accepted for the war, Col. Morehead’s and Col. Dare’s.—Mr. Crittenden, of Kentucky, now in the House, will offer no com promise, but is quietly voting the Government all the supplies and men and money required.—Nearly every one of the Border States representatives are doing the same thing.—The whole of a five million Federal loan was recently taken up in Wall street in forty minutes after the books were opened, and before the close of business on the same day, $3,500,000 of the amount had been paid in coin into the Sub-Treasury. Facts and Opinions. A Compliment to the North.—The Savannah Republican says:—“ln times of great public excite ment a great many stories are invented in both sec tions, with the view of adding to public irritation. Of this class is the statement, generally believed, that it is unsafe for a citizen of the Confederate States to put his. feet on the soil of the enemy. This is not true. Of course it is advisable and best in times like these for Southern men to remain at home, but in eases where their families are at the North, and they de sire to bring them home, or in any other urgent ne cessity, we have no doubt of their ability to go and return with perfect safety. The only;condition is, attend to your own business, and leave the affairs of others alone. We know a number of gentlemen of this State—some of them of this city—who have re cently gone North and returned without the slightest molestation. We yesterday saw a letter from a re sident of Savannah now in New York, in which he expresses his astonishment at the respect with which he is everywhere treated, after all the blood-thirsty stories he had read in the newspapers.’] The Editor of the Louisville (Kyi) Presbyte rian. Herald hits fallen into a sad condition of men tal incertitude. He has already expressed his opi nion that all sections of the country outside of Ken tucky had gone mad. Kentucky, too, must be in a Btate of imbecility, if the Herald knciws anything about it. Its opinion is that, “No man can predict with any certainty what his own opinions will be twelve months hence. There are few men who have not already laid down at night thinking one thing, and got up in the morning thinkingatiother and very different thing.” - CONGRESS. Monday, July 8, House. Mr. Holman’s resolu tion was adopted that the House will, during the present extraordinary session, only consider bills and resolutions concerning military and naval appropria tions for the government, and financial affairs con nected therewith; and that all bills of a private cha racter, and all other bills and resolutions not directly connected with the raising of revenue and military and naval affairs, shall be referred without debate to the appropriate committees, to be .considered at the next regular session of Congress. July 9, Senate.— ln the Senate, it was resolved, that all petitions not immediately connected with the war, be laid on the table when presented; A bill was passed refunding to the States the amounts paid in duties on arms imported; and Mr. Wilson reported the bill to increase the army, raising the old regi ments to the same number as the new.. The re mainder of the session was consumed by the an nouncement of the death of Senator Douglas, and the delivery of eulogies on the deceased. In the House a bill was passed appropriating $6,000,000 for the payment of the volunteers; and a bill was reported providing for a national loan, and another closing the ports of entry in the seceded states, and authorizing the collection of duties on shipboard, Mr. Lovejoy’s resolution - declaring that it is no part of the duty of soldiers to;fe*pture and return fugitive Blaves passed by a vote 0f:92 yeas to 55 nays. A message was received from, the Senate announcing the death of Mr. Douglas, and'the House adjourned. , July 10, Senate.— -Mr. Polk, of Missouri, was pa tiently permitted to inveigh against the course of the President as unconstitutional and tyrannical. ' i 1 vote of 33 to 4 passed a bill to en able the President to accept the services of such num ber of volunteers as he shall deem necessary, not ex ceeding 500,0(K), and to provide for the franking pri vilege to colonels, lieutenant colonels, majors, cap tains, adjutants- and quartermasters. The nays were Johnson and Polk, (the two Sena tor® from Missouri,) Kennedy of Maryland, and Powell of Kentucky. Breckinridge was absent. House.— Burnett of Kentucky and Vallandigham of Ohio relieved their minds of the traitorous bur dens under which they have been labouring, where upon the House proceeded by a vote of 135 to 10 to pass a bill empowering the President to collect the duties on imports at the ports of the seceded Stales and by a vote of 149 to 5 a loan bill for the raising of $250,000,000. The nays are Burnett, (Ky. 1 Reid and Norton, of Mo., Fallandigbam, 0., and Wood, (brother to Fernando Wood,) New York. JulyAl, Senate. —The resolution to expel the re bel Senators was taken up. Mr, Latham moved to strike out'the word'expel, and simply erase from the roll the names of . Senators, wbieh was, defeated— ayes 11, nays 32, the ayes being all the Senators from Delaware, Tennessee, Missouri, Kentncky, besides Bright, of Indiana, Nesmith, of Oregon; and Rice, of Minnesota, all democrats. The resolution then passed—ayes 32, nays 10, the nays being the same as above except Sanlsbnry, of Delaware. The reso lution legalizing the acts of President Lincoln since the commencement of hostilities was taken np. Messrs. Polk and Powell Vpoke in opposition. Mr! Breckinridge got the floor and the consideration of the resolution was postponed till next day. The House went into committee on the army bill. A long debate ensued consequent upon the opposi tion of Mr. Burnett. An amendment offered by Mr. Vallandigham, providing that the money should not baused to subjugate any States, and hold them as conquered provinces, nor to interfere with African slavery in any State, was rejected. Several minor amendments were adopted, and then the Naval Ap propriation bill was considered, both bills reported to the House and passed. The House concurred in the Senate amendment to the hill for the payment of the militia and volunteers. This appropriates 6f millions for immediate disbursement. The Army bill for tho year ending June next, ap propriates about $161,000,000, including the pay of the regular army. The Navy Appropriation bill appropriates about $30,000,000. The President, in reply to the resolution of the House, calling for the correspondence touching the' annexation of the Dominican Republic to Spain, has replied that it is not deemed advisable, to communi cate at the present time. . The President has approved the bill remitting or refunding the duties on arms imported by the States, to be used in suppressing rebellion. An amendment to the volunteer bill, reducing the pay of chaplains fifty per cent, lower than designated by the Secretary of war, has passed, the Senate. Should it become a law it is feared that some of the more competent will resign, owing to the insufficiency of the support. July 12, Senate.— Mr. Saulsbury, of Delaware, offered a resolution proposing amendments to the Constitution for the peaceable adjustment of the pre sent difficulties. Ordered to be printed. [The amendments proposed by Mr. Saulsbury are simply the old Crittenden resolution of compromise.] An amendment to the Volunteer bill authorizing the acceptance of all the cavalry, artillery and infan try that may offer for three years, show how vigor ous is tbs determination of that body to aid the Pre-. sidentin pushing forward the war—as the amend ment was passed with scarcely a moment’s de bate. The House bill relating to tho further collection of imports—the Force bill —was taken up. After considerable discussion, —Mr. Saulsbury, of Delaware, moved to refer it to* the Committee on the Judiciary, which was lost. The bill then passed, yeas 36, nays 6, Messrs.Breck inridge, Bright, Johnson, of Mo., Kennedy, Polk, and Powell voting in the negative. House.— Mr. Vallandigham offered a resolution to inquire whether certain members of the House hold-, ing military commissions are eligible to seats. Mr.? McKnight moved to add the name of Mr. Vallandig ham,in order that the committee might inquire wbe-f ther his credentials were not addressed to the wrong- Congress. Mr. Vallandigham took this in high dud geon, and talked duellistic, to which Mr. McKnight, responded, when both were called to order. Mr, V.V resolution was tabled. A resolution was adopted, ask ing for the opinion of the Attorney-General as to the ‘ suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. The Vo lunteer bill was taken up, discussed at length, and passed. v The bill provides that the President is authorized to accept the services of volunteers, either cavalry, infantry, or artillery, as he may deem proper, to the number of five hundred thousand. July 13th, Senate.— Mr. Johnson, of Tennessee, presented the credentials of the new Senators from Virginia, Messrs. Willey and Carlile, and after a long debate the Senators were sworn in. The loan bill was then taken up. A motion to substitute $150,000,000 instead of $250,000,000, was rejected by ayes 4, nays 36. The bill to increase the regular army was taken up and amended so as to require that at the close of the war the army shall be re duced to the standard proposed by the Act of May, 1860, and that this reduction shall be effected by the discharge of officers and privates. Other amend ments were rejected, after which the bill, which had been considered in Committee of the Whole, was then reported to the Senate. i In the House, Mr. Blair offered a preamble and resolution to expel John B. Clark from his seat in the House, for holding, a commission in the rebel army of Missouri, and acting under it in the Jate engagement at Booneville. After a debate it was adopted by 94 to 45.. Spirit of the Present Congress.— " Occasional,” in the Philadelphia Press, but expresses the prevalent opinion when he says:—".My fears as to dissensions among the friends of the country have been dissi pated. The servants of the people daily show that they are up to the popular demand, and know right well that every hour’s delay will be disastrous to their individual fortunes, as well as to the great cause. Latest—Tuesday. In Congress, on Monday, the Senate elected John W. Forney its Secretary. The Army appropriation bill was immediately amended and passed. The House refused to call a National Convention by a vote of 92 to 51. A bill to punish treasonable conspiracies, and a resolution pledging, whatever men and money may be necessary to suppress re bellion, were passed with 5 to 7 dissenting voices. Gen. Garnett's retreating force of rebels was at tacked by Gen. Morris 8 miles from St. George in Western Virginia, and utterly routed with a loss of 200 killed, (including General Garnett,) and 1000 prisoners. Our loss was 13 killed and a few wounded. The New Orleans Delia despairs of a foreign re cognition of the bogus confederacy. In Turkey the new Sultan had introduced great reforms in the imperial household. Five hundred servants had been dismissed, and the civil list re duced 12,000,000. Privateers. —Two Southern privateers have been exceedingly aetiva and bold during the past week. One of them, after taking several prizes off Cape Batteras, overhauled a British vessel in the latitude of Nantucket, from which she took 5 Bailors. Foreign Opinion. Mr. Russell’s Letters to the Times~We learn from Russell’s letter to the London limes, describing his visit to Fort Pickens, &0., that the fort is impreg nable, that the rebel force, all told, number only three thousand, and that they have no heavy guns, and but few guns of any kind. Their preparations Beem to have been vastly overrated. Captain Adams, of the United States frigate Sabine, has two sons in the re bel army, a daughter acting as vivandiere to the New Orleans regiment, and a plantation in Louisiana. From New Orleans, he writes; Englishmen, however, will be still a little surprised to hear that within a few days British subjects living in New Orleans haFe been seized, knocked down, carried off from their labor at the wharf and the workshop, and forced by violence to serve in the ‘ vo lunteer ’ ranks! Fortunately, their friends bethought them that there was still a British consul in the city who would protect his countrymen—English, Irish or Scotch. Mr. Mure, when he heard of the reports and of the evidence, made energetic representations to the authorities, who, after some evasion, gave or ders that the “impressed volunteers” should be dis charged, and the “Tiger Rifles” and other companies were deprived of the services of thirty-five British subjects whom they had taken from their usual avo cations. The Major promised it shall not occur again. It is high time that such acts should be pat a stop to, and that the mob of New Orleans should be taught to pay some regard to the usages of civilized nations. He doubts the inflated reports of the numbers of their men and the quantity of their arms. He alleges that not the boldest Southerner would dare to say that a shadow of liberty of opinion or real freedom exists there. He charges cruelty and atrocity upon the rabble who style themselves citizens, but have destroyed citizenship, and asserts that there is a ter rible substratum of crime and'vice, violence, misery and murder, over which the wheels ,of the cotton king’s chariot ramble gratingly, and on which rest in dangerous security the feet of his throne. Exactly to the Point.— “We are with the North heart- and-soul, their cause is that of freedom and of right. Not for all the flesh-pots of Egypt would we see the South win the day. Abraham Lincoln was proclaimed President, and the South, like a spoilt boy, 'left the Union in a huff. There can be no doubt as to the result ; they that use the sword mußt perish by the sword.”— -Illustrated London News of the World. ' English Popular Opinion.—The people are be ginning to understand the question, and that is. all that is necessary to keep the government right. The present position of the British Government, however ungraciously it may have been taken, is altogether in our favor. Their recognition of 1 belligerent rights’ for the rebellion puts upon the rebels all the ‘duties’ of belligerents, and at the same time allows us to blockade their ports without raising the question whether a nation has the right to blockade its own ports. Their prohibition of the use of their harbors, whether British or Colonial, for the sale of privateers, will cut off the privateer business at the roots—for what can the corsairs do with their prizes even if they should succeed in taking any l—Dr. Me Clintock in the Methodist. France and Italy.— The Paris Paine bad pub lished a semi-official statement announcing the pro bable re-establishment of relations between France and the Court of Turin, and the consequent recogni tion of the new Italian kingdom. This statement was afterwards copied in the Monttewr, and is of peculiar interest to America on account of tbe intimation con veyed in the following paragraph: “ France, by her new attitude, would not pretend to interfere in manner in the internal or external affairs of the Italian kingdom, which remains sole judge of its conduct, as it is master of its future and of its destinies. It would act towards it as one day the great European Powers will act in the American question—by recognising' the new republic of the Southern States, when that republic shall have con stituted a Government on a basis which will allow international relations to be entertained with it of advantage to general interests.” This announcement created considerable excitement among Americans in Paris. Mr. Dayton, our excel lent Minister there, requested an explanation of the authorities:-—what answer he received, we do not know; but it is confidently asserted that the" allusion to America was purely incidental, and not designed to foreshadow any particular line of policy on the part of the Emperor. The author of a letter from France, says: “I hold in my hands a note dictated by no less a personage than a Cabinet Minister of the Emperor, declaring ■the above allegation concerning the ‘American South ern States’ to be ‘purely gratuitous, and utterly in conflict with the actual policy of the French Govern ment.’ ” The Troops sent to Canada. —The English papers are divided on the expediency of this move ment. The. London Times says it is one of those steps that it is difficult to pronounce an opinion upon, as the facts of the case are unknown, and Go vernment may have excellent reasons which are un known to the public. ’ Looking, however, at the state of affairs, both in | America and Canada, so far as they are publicly i known, the Times sees no good reason for the move- I ment, and regrets that the step has been taken. It [ thinks there is little reason for apprehending an at •• tack by the United States upon Canada, and fears i that in her present state of mind America is more { likely to regard the movement as a challenge than i as a precaution. ! The London Post Bays that the troops for Canada were demanded by Sir Fenwick Williams, the Com mander-in-Chief, as a measure of precaution. The movement is neither a menace to the people of the United States, nor an insult to the people of Canada, but is an ordinary matter of which would almost have escaped observation but for the very proper charter of the “ Great Eastern.” The Course of France and England. —lt is asserted that our Ministers at Paris and London wrote by the Persia that the blockade would be fully respected by the fleets of the two Governments in question. The tenor of the entire despatches is said to be all that this Government could desire. Prussia,— Per Canada, Liverpool, 28th June.— Berlin papers publish despatches recently sent by Baron Schleinitz to the Prussian Minister at Wash ington, in which the warmest sympathy with the welfare of the Union, and the deepest regret for the unfortunate discord is expressed. ; Foreign Hews. | .The Sultan of Turkey, Abdul Medjid, is dead. His son and successor, it is feared, is a fanatical Mussulman. Italy. —The Baron Bicasoli presented, in the Chamber of the Deputies, the diplomatic corre spondence between France and Italy, relative to the t recognition of the new kingdom. The following is : a summary of the French note:—“The Emperor, on 1 demand of Victor Emmanuel, recognises him as King of Italy, hut by this recognition he does not approve of the past policy of the Cabinet of Turin; nor does , he. encourage any enterprise of a nature to compro mise the peace of Europe. The Emperor does not , regard the principle of non-intervention as a rule, but declines the responsibility of any project of ag i gressiun. The French troops will continue in Borne ; as long as the interests which .took France to Borne . are not covered by guarantees.” NOTICED The Stated Meeting'of the Presbytery of Cayuga, according to adjournment, will be held In Aurora, Tuesday, the 23d inst, at two o’clock, P.
