effect on the 24th of the month, since which time he
has not occupied the pulpit.
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.—

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.

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-

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.—

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,

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.

The First Flag of truce from the rebel lines be
fore Washington came in a few days ago. The bearer,
Capt. Taylor, was allowed an audience with Gen.
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.”

have already been furnished for the army and navy.
These two Libraries, with three thousand pages of
tracts at two dollars—the whole, for seven dollars, will
furnish a company with a good sup ply of reading. How
can five, ten, twenty-five, fifty, or seventy dollars be
better employed than in supplying a company, a regi
ment, or a ship of war? Chaplains, officers, soldiers,
and citizens, have made nrgent appeals for these pub
lications.
One chaplain says, ,c These libraries are just what I
need to complete a good svstem of labor among tbe
troops.” i
Another says, «Tour library and tracts have been
read thoroughly by the soldiers, and we have an inte
resting work of grace going on—twenty-fire have been
hopefully converted.” , '
Three thousand companies are now enlisted. Are
there not many individuals, ladies and gentlemen, who
will each supply a company or a regiment as some have
