(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 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 several shell went, completely over ui. I The rattling of shot arid sheil from both! parties now became terrific, and fell, around us like hail. A 128-pounder f!l j not twelve feet astern of tho BenLon. A 1 moment after another struck licMveci the Benton and tit. Louis, near their rn. striking the former two inches above the 1 1,a,'.'i half a mile, when 'ho cncny got water line, throwing perfect column" .f ( tin irgune again in portion in oru; wo.
