(Jn the conclusion of tho rending of
Jack-noil' Proclamation lo the people ol
South Caroliua. in the Houae of represen
tative at Jlarrishurg, Mr. Tati, (Colutn
bia.) was called upon for a few rouierki,
In which heretpouded ai follow:
M. Srifiti : I concur with thgen
tleman lo vrkoao kindnes I am indebted
for the couileay of the llotine, that a brief
reference, at leant, ia due tho nam and
fame of the depu ted pntriot and state-
man, wlione living admonition and undy
ing leg. ry we have jiml been called upon
lo thus publicly celeb: ate.
Near and dear to the Americnn people
is the name of Andrew Jackson. We do
well to.day to turn nuide for an hour from
the legitimate butinob of legislation, to
hear the admonitions of one A lio, though
dead, yet spenketh. May we kng trea
ure his wi.ne cotinnelH, and practice his
wholesome j ieccptii.
Mr. Spi-ai;T, lam clearly of the opin
ion that, had wo obnerved tho teachings of
the sterling "Sage of the Hermitage," lo
which wehavejubt been I in tuning, our be
loved comiliy would lo-duy have been at
peace. I agree with my patriotic friend
liom Philadelphia the Hon. Mr. Dennis
-who .remarked in hi iihlo defence of
Gen. Jackson, on the 13th of February,
when I ha 1 the honor of ottering the ies
olution inviling lliis celebiHliou thut An.
drew Jackson w is the secund Saviour of
hi country. Washington lie truly dei
nominated the first, at:d Jackson the sec
ond in which sentiment I cordially con
cur, nnd have tin doubt that it commends
the judgment of every putrid in the land.
Such sentiments as those cuunriited in
the measure of (inn. Jackson Are full of
meaning and admonition, and rmut be es
pecially refreshing to the loyal 'citizen in
these times of treason and rebellion. We
hail (hum an an oasis in the mn si waste
of this degenerate world. Tbe best ener
gies of his l.fe, and tlx- most powerful ef
fort of his administration, were devoted
to tbe suppression of rebellion, and the
defence of tho Constitution. Obedience
to the law and deference to the Union was
the watchw-word of Andrew Jackson, it
was he who fearlessly declared, "the Fkd
t.n.H. Umon if mu.i! preserved," and were
he to-day upon the theatre of action,
would no doubt signalize that determina
tion of his purpose with nn emphatic "l!y
tho Eternal'' Sir, I ton wish we had such
a man ANDl'EW JACKSON.
Mr. Speaker thanking Divine Provi.
deuce, in the name of the people of Penn
sylvania, nn l through them of the world,
for tlifl two nrit name'l benefactors of our
race, in the persons of Washington and
Jackson, may we not confidently trust
that, in the ruuiiiticience uf tho same un
erring wisdom, He ha3 raised up. in the
person of Oen. .McLi.ei.lan, tho Ihwd "Sa
viour of our country."
I am notyet done with Andrew Jack
son, lie suppressed nuUttieahon in IW,
and, if now living, would wipe out rtLdlkn
in 1862. His motto would now be that of
al! his followers, "The Constitution as it is
the Union as it was!'1
And now, Mr. Speaker, a word in rela
tion to our beloved, bleeding, uttring
and dis'racted country. The fair temple
of our liberties has betn ruthlessly assail
ed by traitorous hands, anil the sacred
tonibs of Mount Vernon, Monticello and
the Hermitage the imperishable heri
tage of our fathers' God havo been dese
crated by trcaion'i unholy ambition. Snoh
violators of law and humanity, 1 bold,
would
"l'illag the palice of tbe K ing of Kings,
And ciip tbe gilding from an angol'a winga,
Would cheat the living wrong the dead,
And rob tbe orphan of ita cruit of bread."
In conclusion, may we not here, es the
Ifepresentatives of one branch of tho Leg
islature, congratulate tho Ipyal people of
the whole country upon the prospects of
an early and enduring peace. A pence
that will coiTiprehend the honor of the
thirty-four stars of tho Union. Black re
bellioa and tieasnn will (lien be banished
from the land never again (0 disgrace our
country s lair etculcheon.
For them I have neither mercy or sym
pathy. Men who desert the Union, and
attempt to destroy or mar ils beauty, have
j no ciuini to its protection and ircnium-
! ties, but deserve its unlimited execrations.
I Of such, truthfully has the poo( said :
Perish the hund that would dealroy
Tbe temtile of our airea,
Terith the heart that hopei for joy
In Its consuming lirea!
Let not the monster he forgr.t.
Who darn to light the flame ;
But cure him with a traitor's lot,
And with a traitor'a name.

FKFTCII OF Ul.N. IIUNTKU.
Msjrr General David Hunter is a na
tive of the District of Columbia, and was
appointed lo tho army fro.11 thai District.
He is about sixty years of age, and entered
the Military Acad-miy as it cadet in Sep
toinber, l.slr. llo graduated in H'22,
standing number 25 iu a clasa of forty, in
which we find the tinmen of Gnernls J.
K. F. Matulield, George A. Mc-Call, T.
Morris, J. J. Al ercrombio aril others.
On tho 1st of Jul), 1S22, he was piomoted
to tl.e"d lieutenancy ol'the&lh U. S. In
fantry, and in June, 1828, was further
promoted to the 1st lieutenancy. He be
came a captain of the 1 st Dragoon in
Maich, l.Su.-', nnd rosigned the servic? on
the 4th of Julv. lH.'Jli. On the last dav of 1
November, 1841, he was appointed a tem
porary paymaster nf ibe army, and 011 the
14th of May, 181-, lie untamed the pni.
tion of full paymaster. Tho appoint men ta
were debited to tho Statf ot Illinois, in
this latter cipucity he held the same rank
as major of the activo military srrvice.and
in the Army Register for lM.U his name
stand second on t'ie list of paymasters
with that rank. On the loth of May, '01,
ho was appointed Colonel of the now reg
iment of cavalry, numerically designated
as the Cth regiment of United Slates Cav
alry, and on the lolh of the following Au
gust was Hindu, by Congress, a major gen
eral of volunteers, ll will be letnembered
he was ordered to report to (ten oral Fre
mont, in Missouri, and he took charge of
certain troop organizing at the depot of
Kolla, and when Gen. Fremont left Saint
Louis to attack Price at Lexiuto.i, Gener
al Hunter was to join him by ucro.-s route.
Gen. Fremont's incapacity prevented the
relief of the forces at Lexnuon, and Gcti.
Hunter waa ordered to organize hi divis
ion at Warsaw. This he accomplished,
and when Fremont had given Price time
to escape from Lexington the pursuit was
ordered, and Gen. Hunter was invested
with the command of the 1st division, til
though by the arrangements raado by the
Commanding General the two divisions,
commanded respectively by Gens. Hunter
and Pope, were the hi.t lo leave Warnw
for Springfield. The want of success in
overtaking Price led to the removal of
Fremont, and on the 2d of November,
Gen. Hunter assumed commtinlof the
Department of the West, by orders f.-oin
Washington. When Gen. 1 1 al lock vas
appointed to that depoitment, u new de
partment was created entitled the Denatt
metit of Kansas, and Major General Hun
ter was appointed to the chief command.
During It is administration some little
trouble occ.urrred between Senator (or
Brigadier General) Lane and tho cominuui
der, which perhaps- more than anything
else IpiI to the breaking up of depart
ment. hich is now incorporated in lliuti
rf the Mississippi, and Gen. Hunter pro
ceeded lo Washington. He has now been
appointed to pupciaede Gen. Sherman at
Port Royal.

THE WAR NEWS.
THE FIGHT AT ISLAND No. 10.
The attack upon Ihe rebel str intjholil
at Island No. 10, on tho Mississippi river,
was nmdeon tbe 15th tilt., and had con
tiuued up to our last dales. Below we
give tho account oT tho bombardment of
the 17th, as fni-nished by Ihe correspon
dent of tho Chicago Times :
This morning (Monday.) a council of
officers was held, which resulted in hirh.
ing three gunboats together, the Benton,
Captain Phelps, in Ihe centre, the St.
Louis, Captain Paulding, on the right, and
the Cineinnatll, Captain Stcmbcll, on the
left. It took until near twelve o'clock lo
get everything in rendiness, when the
three boats wheeled around ond Marled
slowly down the river in front of the
frowning latteries of the enemy.
Our mortar boats had been plttying on
the head of the Island all the morning,
i here it wits evident the rebels hud plant
ed some heavy gun during the niht.
The iiiorlars con linucd firii'jj at itervr.!s
ullday.
After getting in proper position. Bish
op, of the Benton, opened the lail with
his first forward port g'ln nt six Minutes
before one o'clock, followed by H-i second
.starboard gun. His second !iol struck
the eneroy'a raiapet. McDonaid tf the
St. Louis, and Hail, of tho Cincinnati,
gave tnch h sinrhoiirJ gun with marked
accuracy. The firing o! ell three of the
uunboats was continued, some of the f hot
landini! t'lurrin into tho enemv's nuraeet. I
When the firing commenced, the trii,
Bebton. St. Louis and Cincinnati, were
about twoand a half miles froia the ene
my's seven-gun buttery, and continued
moving dow n very slowly for an ho.ir.tiol
getting any response. Changed our coun-.e
and commenced firing on the land batte
ry below. One or two shots drew them
out with a couple of shots from tho lo ad
of the Island mid fiur from a land battery
above, tho one we had first been firing M,
but oil their shots fellshoit. l'he enemy j
now commenced getting heller r tinge, ai j

The rattling of shot arid sheil from both!
parties now became terrific, and fell,
