great relief to us if our friends and patrons
wilaumish us with a little of the "needful"
without delay. If they cannot pay all, let
them at least give us apart of that to which
we are, justly entitled, in order to relieve us
from oar embarrassments. We think we have
been very indulgent, and therefore hope to
meet with a ready response to what we con
ceive to be a reasonable request. We shall
havis a Collector out during the present
and succeeding weeks, and we hope he will
receive a hearty welcome. In the mean time
we shall be prepared to receive our friends at
office, and furnish them promptly with
receipts for whatever amounts they may de
sire. Persons at a distance, and those resid
ing out of the county, can remit by mail at
our risk. Come, friends, give us tilift without

THE GRAND MARCH.
The great movement, or combination m
movepents in Eastern Virginia, commenced
on Wednesday last, and we may therefore look
for stirring events for some time _to come.
Gen.M'DowELL commenced his forward march
towards Manassas Junction with 50,000
men, and a succession of skirmishes and bat
tles, an account of which will be found in
another column; has taken place almost every
day since. The greatest battle of the campaign
took place on Sunday, at or near Bull's Run,
and ended by capturing several of the Rebel
batteries, and driving the enemy back to
Manassas Junction ; but this was attended
with a frightful loss of life on both sides.
Amongst the killed on our side was Col. JAMES
CAMERON, brother of the Secretary of War,
who commanded the New York Seventy Ninth
(Highlanders) Regiment.
- That the Rebels will be defeated at every
point where they attempt to make a stand, we
can scarcely doubt, and that our victorious
army will, before many weeks, capture Rich
mond, and thus break - the back of the Seces
sionists in the Old Dominion and throughout
the entire South, is, we think, a foregone con
clusion ; but it will be after much bloodshed
and suffering on the part of our gallant
soldiery, and still more to the enemy. The
Union must be maintained, however, at all
hazards, and our brave volunteers and regu.
lays cannot endure privations and shed their
blood in a more holy cause than the one in
which they are now engaged—the defence of
our National flag and the maintenance of our
glorious fabric of freedom. The war may be
long and bloody, but it will end in the total
discomfiture of rebellion, and in strengthening
and perpetuating the Union, and placing it on
a basis which can never again be shaken by
internal or external foes.
In addition to the movement above men-
tioned, Gen. PATTERSON, with not far from 30,-
000 men, is on his way to Winchester, where
it is expected he will come up with the rebel
army under Gen. Johnston, and defeat them if
they attempt to risk a battle with our forces.
Gen. McCLELLAN is coming from the West
with his victorious column of twenty thousand
men, and be and Patterson, it is expected, will
join the main army in its approaches to Rich
mond, which latter city will be invested, be
fore many weeks, with a force of at least one
hundred thousand men—probably commanded
by Lieut. General SCOTT in person.
Exciting times may, therefore, be expected.
The campaign promises to be a short, but de
cisive one.
—Since the above has been in type, it is stated
that Gen. BANKS has superseded Gen. Patter.
son in the command of the upper Division,
artd.that Gen. Dix takes command at Balti
more. It is alto rumored that Gen. Johnston
has abandoned the Valley of Virginia, and
united his forces with Beauregard at Manasses
Junction.
COL. JAMES CAMERON
The reported death of Col. CAMERON, who
gallantly fell at the bead of his regiment on
Sunday last, will cause a deep feeling of re
gret to his numerous friends in this county.—
Col. C. was of a warmhearted, generous die
position ; modest and unobtrusive in his man
ners, but firm and decided in all his underta•
kings, and the 79th N. Y. regiment will long
have cause to mourn the loss of their brave
commander.
Messrs. Henry E. Leman and Dr. Henry E.
Mnhlenberg left here yesterday to bring on
his remains for interment.
A NOVEL IDEA.
The - President's idea, as enunciated in his
Message to Congress, that the States are de
rived from and wholly subservient to the
General Government, is certainly a novel one.
Most people, at least all our great Statesmen,
have;always supposed that the States made
the Union, and not the Union the States.

One of the most prominent names,at the
present time, by reason of the t brilliant vic
tories he has recently won and .of :the great
ability displayed in all his movements, is that
of Major General MCCLELLAN, in oommand of
the Union forces in Western Virginia. By a
series of well-conceivedand rapidly executed
maneuvres, he has, It three or four days,
swept from that section of the State the en
tire rebel army, composed - of some of their
best regiments from Eastern Virginia, Georgia
and South Carolina, On' the 12th inst., he
achieved a brilliant victory at Rich Merin
tain ; on the nth he occupied Beverly and
took one thousand prisoners ; and on the 14th
he routed the entire rebel army under Gen.
Garnett. This latter named officer was killed,
and the flag of the Union once more floated
proudly over the entire department un.ler his
command.
Gen. MeCLELLeN, is a son of the late Dr.
McClellan, a celebrated Surgeon of Philadel
phia, and is only thirty five years of age. He
has already made his mark as a man of more
than ordinary military science and energy,
and if his life should be spared his name and
his fame will become household words with
the American people. We feel proud of him
as a Pennsylvanian.
DIRECT TAXATION.
The Committee of Ways and Means in Con
gress, have prepared a bill providing for the
assessment of a direct tax upon real , and per:
sonal property amounting to $30,000,000.
This tax will be distributed among the States
in equal proportions, the quota of Pennsyl
vania being $2,920,000, or about one dollar
for each inhabitant. The necessary Assessors
and Collectors are provided for. The bill
also proposes to tax stills, boilers, and other
utensils used in distilling spirituouti liquors,
15 cents on every gallon of capacity. Fer
mented and malt liquors are to be taxed 5
cents on a gallon, and spirituous liquors 10
cents on a gallon. Vehicles used exclusively
for the transportation of merchandise are to
be free, but carriages are to be taxed; those
valued at $5O are to be taxed $1; those over
$l,OOO will be taxed $5O, with intermediate
rates in proportion to the value of the vehicle.
THE: BLOCKADE.
The British Consul at Richmond has laid
before the British Minister, Lord Lyons,
official documents respecting recent cases
where,the blockade of the Chesapeake had
been broken by private individuals by per
mission of the Government. It appears, from
the alleged facts communicated by the British
Consul, that pasises have been issued by Gen
eral Butler, permitting private individuals
and vessels to-pasethrough the blockade.—
Copies - of these itiffels,"_purporting to bear
General Butler's :signature, were taken froth
the parties, and are aniong the documents com
municated. ~
Lord Lyons; it isnnderstood, has called the'
attention of the Government to these facts,
and requests an explanation. The questions
involved are of_the highest importance. It
appears that the British agents at the several
ports at the South are keeping a most vigilant
watch respecting the blockaded ports, and. it
is quite probable they may give us trouble
whenever any pretext or opportunity may
The news from Missouri brings us nothipg
of an exciting character. The rebels are said
to be actively moving in the vicinity of Jeffer.•
son City, with a view to join Gen. Harris and
the other leaders. Harris is in Galloway
county, but ;his position' is not likely to be
long maintained, as Colonel McNeil's regi
ment of Union troops marched into that
county on Tuesday, and Colonel 'Smith's
Zonaves, part of Colonel Soernstein's and
Colonel Hammer's regiments, and the Illinois
troops, under Colonels Smith and .Palmer, are
advancing from-different points, and will thus
completely surround General. Harris. The
rebel forces in the southwestern portion of
the State, concentrated at Neosho, are, said to
number between eight and tep thousand, and
principally composed of Arkansas and Mis
souri troops.

LATER FROM THE BATTLE FIELD OF MANAS
SAS JUNCTION—THE ENEMY DRIVEN FROM
BULL RUN---UNION REINFORCEMENTS
THROWN. FORWARD.
NVASIII,NGTON; July 21.11teoeiVed 9 P. M.]
The orders to Gen. McDowell to move forward as e
o'clock yesterday : morning were suspended until
early . this morntng. Our troops in the mean time
were employed in cutting a road through the woods,
inOrder to flank the enemy'abatteries
The Secretary of War has received a despatch that
the fight was renewed' at Bull's Run this morning.
Our troops engaged the enemy with a large force,
silenced their batteries, and drove the secessioniststo
the Junction.
The City of Washington is wild with excitement
and joy. The firing was distinctly heard here in
the direction of Bull's Rnn..from 11 till about 3 P.
M., when a cessation . took place till nearly 5 P. M.
At 7 this evening, the reverberation of cannon was
still audible.
A gentleman who arrived here to-night says that,
at 8 this afternoon the 2d and 3d New Jersey regi
ments were ordered to march forward from Vienna,
first sending back 'their baggage to Camp Trenton.
Other troops were hurrying forward to the scene of
hostilities. There is great military bustle and
excitement in the direction of all the camps.
THE VERY LATEST
MANASSAS JUNCTION ASSAULTED AND RE
PORTED TAKEN—COLS. CAMERON AND
SLOCUM REPORTED KILLED—COL. HUNTER
MORTALLY WOUNDED.
Despatches received at Washington during the day
report the battle as beginning 'at about 11 o'clock
this morning.
FAIRFAX. COURT Honer., 3:501'. M.--Quartermaster
Barton of the Second Michigan Regiment, just ar
rived, says that the reports at Centreville are that a
general engagement of the whole line had taken
place three and a half miles this side"rif Manassas,
and our troops had driven the Secessionists back to
Manassas.
General McDowell has ordered the reserves under
Col. Miles to advance to the bridge over Bull Run,
on the Winchester road, having driven the rebels be
fore him. Col. Miles is about three or four miles
from the directing operations near Blackburn Ford.
FAIRFAX C. H, 4.45 P.M.—Oar courier says our
troops have taken three masked.batteries, and forced
the rebel:a to retreat. One of the batteries taken was
in a wheat field, the others some distance beyond it,
and the third still further on.
5.20 P. M.—The Federal troops have won the day;
loss on both sides heavy, but the' rout of the rebels
complete. The Bull Run batteries are silenced, and
two or three others taken.
5.40 P. M.—Firing has ceased. A report, not
official, but from an apparently reliable source, says
that thecolumn under Heintsleman has followed the
rebels to Manassas :inflation and have opened fire on
their entrenchments and oalnps, and was-then shell
ing ,them.
Col. -Hunter, of the Third Cavalry is seriously, if
not mortallywounded. leis Stated confidently that
Col. Cameron, of the Scotch Regiment, brother of
Secretary Cameron, and Col. Slocum, Second Rhode
Leland Regiment; 'are killed.
The conflict 'was desperate at Bull Run, lasting
nine hours. A succession of masked batteries were
encountered, which the troops assaulted with vigor
and success, after severe loss of life. Col. Richard
son proceeded on the left with four regiments of the
Fourth Brigade to hold the, Battery hill on the War
renton road, in the vicinity of the ground where the
last battle was fought: The flank movements have
been previously : described. Shanks' and Sherman's
brigades of Tyler's division advanced by the War
renton road, while Heintselman's and Hunter's di
vision took the fork of the Warrenton road; to move
between Bull Run and the Manassas 'Junction.
Col. Keys' brigade remained at Centreville.
Information was reoelved by General Tyler's com
mand of the existence of the enemy's battery com
manding the road. Our troops were then formed in
battle array. The 2d New York and 2d Ohio on the
left, the let Ohio and 2d Wisconsin, and 79th, 13th
and 69th New York on the right. Col. Miles' divis
ion followed in the rear.
The first range. gun was fired by Shamir:Os bat
tery at 10 minutes of 7. The rebels did not return
his shot until an hour and a half afterwards. When
Col. Hunter's Division came up the battle became
general. The latter's movement to gain the enemy's
rear was almost a success.
Weeds:scions, July 21.-official despatches from
Gen. McDowell to the War Department, received at,
5 o'clock this afternoon, announce that the battle at
Bull Run recommenced at 7 o'clock this morning,
lasting until 4 o'clock this afternoon, when the. Bull
Run batteries were taken, and the Confederate
troops 'were routed and driven back with' terrible
slaughter to Manassas Junction. The Federal troops
also suffered severely. There are no means now of
obtaining the detail". The express messenger is mo
mentarily expected with fuller accounts.
:Other rumors, notreliable, but seemingly well au
thenticated, report three other Confederate batteries
taken and that, Manassas Junction had fallen, by a
renewed fight, • late in the afternoon: The whole
populace of Washington are now (at 8 o'clock) in
tensely excited.
Cannonading was distinctly heard at Arlington
Heights and in Washington during the day, and I
have just heard a number of distant guns. You may
expect interesting particulars daring the night.
• A large portion of both armies ware engaged in
the battle, but the heaviest of the fighting was with
the artillery.

DISTRESSING CASUALTY.—A most distressing
easnalty happened on Wednesday last about noon, causing
sudden and deep sorrow in the family of one of our most
respectable and highly esteemed citizens, Mr. S. S. Rath
von. It seems that a number of boys were bathing In the
Conestoga, about three hundred yank above.the railroad
bridge. amen: whom were three sons of Mr. Rathson, the
elder,Frank, being about twelve years of age. Moat of
the oys, including one of Mr. Ratbson'e sons, bad started
to go home, when Prank got in water beyond hia.deptb,
and, being unable to swim, caught bold of hie brother who
was near, for a time endangering hie life also. The latter
extricated himself, reached the shore, and gave the alarm,
but before assistance could be procured, the unfortunate
lad bad sunk to rise no more.
The sad MNwe was communicated to the family'-and
Merida, and after an hour's search the body was recovered,
but life was of course extinct. The family have the heart
felt sympathy of our citizens in their sudden and painful
bereavement.
- PROF. WISE AND 1318-WAR. BALLOON.—The
celebrated Aeronaut, Prot Wise, an . his lon, Charley, a
"chip o' the, old block," left for the seat of war on Wed
nesday evenikg last, having tharge his newly-construct- .
ed, War Balloon, Intended for governmental purposes. It,
is W complete affair in every respect. The Express thus'
describes it; .
It is made of raw India silk In top and bottom, and
double thickness. The single envelope is made of 'compact
Trish linen. The net work and cords are made of Italian
flak thread, end rigged so as to be peculiarly adapted to
topographical ascents.' The 'hoops are of tough hickory,
wrapped and re-wrapped with linen and fish glue in such
a manner - is to make them irresistibly strong, and yet as
eleatio is a steel spring. The earls made of strong willow :
and Cane, with sheet-iron bottom to make4nroof against
rifle bullets. - . .
Mr. W. is desirous that the Government should have.a
locomotiveinflating apparatus made for decomposing wa
ter, so that it may travel with the balloon, drawn by a pair
of horses. By this, means the balloon can be inflated at
any place where fuel can be provided. - Dry fence rails
would make an excellent and feryld fuel. • This apparatus
is to be made after the form of the common "wagon
boiler...consisting Of two 18-inch eYlindrical retorts, made
of boiler plate, to contain the Orydlsing materiale—iron
turnings or charcoal. Around the firebox is to be fixed
the-steam-generating apartment. :From the steam boi,
proceeds a tube communicating with the gas retorts. As
soon as the oxydising material is heated to a red heat, the
stop cock between the steam box and gas retorts is opened
—the steam is permitted to pass in and through the
heated decomposing materials,. from which a copious sop..
ply of pure hydrogen will be evolved. With this contriv
ance lir. W. proposes to till the war balloon in from three
to four hours. wherever it may be requisite to Use it. For
ballast be proposes to carry with him, when going aloft,
percussion` hand grenadee; in ease the fcie might be auda
cious enough to capture his windlass .rope, these are . to
serve the purpose of mating them release it. Should this
fall be still has the advantage of cutting loose above and
•
making bie escape.
Mr.. W. ways with a local current blowing overthe ene
my's camp. a sail may be taken for many miles over their
camping ground, and then rising up into the, southwest
current, or northeast current to return, a general view
may be taken of their whole ground. This is, however, too
fortuitous 'to be relied on, as much as the aimple contriv
ance of the "Balloon Captive." ,
We are glad the Government has secured so able and
competent a person as our friend Wise in this department
of the service—the description of bie apparatue showing
that' be knows exactly whit that wanted, and he is,
emphatically, "the right man in the right plate."' •

MORE TREASON
The ,Detroit Tribune, a Republican paper,
severely censures the Government for putting
Gens. Schenck,. the "hero"(?) of Vienna, in
command a,brigade, while Col. Richardson,
a graduate of West Point, and a brave officer,
wha has been thrice breveted for gallant con
duct in actual service, is compelled to serve
under . him. The Tribune says it is notorious
that this Schenck has not a single qualification
:for' the position. This is all very well, but if
a Democratic journal had said as much, a Re
;publican howl would be sent up against it for
giving " aid and comfort" to the enemy by
abusing and 'underrating our own officers.
Andrthe N. Y. Times, another Republican
,paper, gives the following sample of the hon
esty of the Government in the use of the pec
ple's money:
" The steamboat Cataline was valued at
$7,500, but instead of purchasing it at that
price, the Government hired it at the rate of
$lO,OOO a month, with the agreement that if
the boatnwas lost the owners should receive
$50,000 for it. The boat was burned a few
days since, and the Government pays $BO,OOO
for whatmight have been had in the beginning
for $7,500. This is the way the money goes,
and at this rate Mr. Lincoln will require more
than $400,000,000 to carry him through the
first year of the war."
FROM MARTINSBURG, VA.
On Friday. the 12th inst., the Eleventh
Pennsylvania Regiment was presented with a
very beautiful flag by Miss Miller, on behalf
of the Union ladies and vicinity. On present
ing the flag Miss Miller said
Gentlemen of the Eleventh Pa. Regiment :
In behalf of the ladies of this neighborhood,
I am delegated to present to you this flag, as
a ,Loken of their high appreciation of your'
courage and gallantry in leaving your quiet
homes, facing danger and death, to march to
the succor of those whom the rebel enemy of
our glorious Government bad placed under the
reign of terrorism. May God bless you and
preserve your health, and lead you honorably
and triumphantly through this contest for
liberty and right, and when this star spangled
banner shall in triumph wave over all the sec
tions of our once happy country, when it may
be said of George Washington . that he was
the father and founder of your quiet homes,
and posterity will rise up and call'you blessed,
'that you savificed comforts and pleasures and
endangered your lives to perpetuate our
glorious Union, and handing it down to them
unimpaired.
'Again God bless you, and aid you to pre—
serve the honor of this flag, which I now pre—
sent.
Colonel Jarrett, of the Eleventh, responded.
An entertainment was then given to the
a.dy donors. •

MIMS. EDITORS: In the issue of "The Daily Express" of
the Bth inst. we read an article under the caption just
quoted, copied from the "Lancaster Inquirer" of the Bth
Inst. Whoever the author is, be must be in sympathy
with despotic rule, and would make a fit advocate of ty
ranny and- oppression. He seems to think the "king can
do no wrong," and whatever is done by the "powers that
be" must be approved and endorsed without comment or
hesitation.. Now, whether we belong to that "utterly de.
moralized portion of the Democracy of this County," is not
the question here, but this much we tell the author of
that article (let the "Intellipmcer" pursue what course it
will) that we dare to exercise the rights of a freeman ; and
that we intend, that we Witt and 'are DRTIERMISID to scruti
nize closely every official act, not only of the Administra
tion, but of all public functionaries, from the highest to
the lowest, notwithstanding that author's terrible anathe
ma and threat of "an Arnold's doom." We shall not pass
by indifferently any tthosaction whatever, whether it be
in the form of incompetentappointments, unmerited promo-
tions, "beef contracts," navy contracts, gross mismanage
ment or TRAMS, even though the latter be presented by a
Jar, as "carefully concealed or seduously guarded by the
parties committing them." Nor will ore omit the appoint
ment of one known to be in• sympathy with the "rebel
lion," as was disclosed by the seizure of "telegraphic cor
respondence." Nor will 'We except unconstitutional acts
by any one, even 'though a Coogresein special session as.
sembled set aside the Constitution, and resolve that all
"extraordinary acts" (why not use the proper term, uncore
stdutional acts?) 'hall be "approved and declared to be in
all respects legal end valid. This we conceive to be our
duty, - and this we believe is the duty of every one who
loves his country and desires its prosperity. This eourse
is demanded by the existence 'of inveatigating ("white
warihng") committees; by the prevalent disregard of the
Constitution; and hy the ready sanction of illegal acts.—
Every official incumbent mast be held to strict accounta
bility; every act -performed mart be carefully and thor
oughly scanned, and we term him the ''traitor in heart"
who would by threata of. "an Arnold's doom," or in any
other-manner, create a feeling of indifference, and by me
nacing imputations deter others from doing that which is
the duty of every citizen, anxious for the welfare of his
country, add understanding properly the relation between
our officials and the people. We are pleased that in the
exercise of this privilege we have thesanction of the author
himself, when be says: "Opposition to an Administration
usenet be confounded with hostility to the Government."
Having this sanction. we will of course not impair our
claim to loyalty by doing as we have already indicated.—
At least we shall feel perfectly easy under any threats that
may in fotnre be made from the same source.
The-author charges the "Intelligencer" with publishing
Pan unfair, unjust, dishonorable, garbled extract from a
speech made by Mr. Lincoln in 1848." Now we respectfully
request him 40 make good his .eharge by giving the "ex
tract" foil and correct, and also refer to the "documents"
and the very page. border thatall'who wish may see who
denle with facts, and who deals in unfounded, uruubetanti•
ated assertions. A reputation for - veracity is involved in
the matter, and when suspicion can be so easily removed.
the opportunity of vindication will of course be improved
truth the author thus refutes the "extnict," copied by the
"Ititelligencer," it remains the exponent and embodiment
of views entertained by him who uttered it, whoever he be,
and no one else is =countable for the doctrine it advocates
and defends. We look for the author of "Treason in Our
Midst" to make good his 'charge and save his reputation.
If he declines, we know, what account to make of him and
his article, and will form our opinion without the fear of
"an Aratold'ir doom." FREEMAN:

severely commented on as a usurpation of power by
the Senator front Kentucky. That seizure would,
perhaps, be necessary to vindicate, certain' Senators
on this floor. He had read this day in a paper that
a certain Senator had telegraphed that Lincoln's
Congress would not he allowed to meet here on the

Mr. Breckinridge said he supposed the Senator
alluded to him.
Mr. Lane replied that he did.
Mr. Breckinridge replied that his -personal rela
tions with the Senator precluded him from believing
that he would do anything unkind to him, but he
had to say that the statement that he had sent aueh
despatch was totally unfounded. He would not piss ,
tend to deny all the charges made against him in the
papers—he had attempted it ones, but found the
charge reiterated in the same journal, the second day
after he had expressly denied it. He would say,
however, now that the statement that he had tele
graphed Mr. Jefferson Davis or written him that
Kentucky would famish him with seven thousand
armed men, was like the other charges, totally false;
and he had been informed by the Governor of Ken
tucky that the charge with respect to him was
equally false.
Mr. Lane then proceeded to defend the suppression
of certain traitorous newspapers, inciting the people•
to rebellion and other acts which the Senator from -
Kentucky deemed unconstitutional. Allusion has
been made to endeavors to effect a compromise last
session, but he would only say that nom) was made
because traitors occupied the now vacant seats. All
they asked was the Kentucky remedy for treasot,
hemp.
On motion of Mr. Wilson (Mass.) the subject was
postponed till Thursday. .
The Naval Appropriation-bill 'was then' taken up.
The amendment in regard to Stevens' Battery was
disagreed to, and the bill. passed.
After an Executive session, the Senate adjourned.
On motion of Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, the
House resolved itself into a Pommittee of the
Whole on the state of the Union, (Mr. Camp—
bell, of Pennsylvania, in the Chair,) when the
bill to provide increased revenue from imports
to pay interest on the public debt, and for other
purposes, was taken up. •
Mr. Vallandingbam, of Ohio, proposed as a
substitute for the bill to restore the tariff act
of 1857, with the imposition of a duty of ten
per cent. upon the free list, with the exception
of tea, coffee, sugar and salt, which were, he
said, necessaries of life, and therefore should,
be exempted from taxation. Let the additional
duty required be imposed upon what may be
termed the luxuries of life, the tax would then
' fall upon those better able to bear it. He was
convinced that the proposed duty upon sugar
would result in no increase of revenue to the
Government. The stook of sugar at present,
on hand is amply sufficient for the use of the
country during the present year, and for a
portion of the year 1862. It is certain, there—
fore, the effect of this heavy duty upon that
article will be to present its importation for
some time, rind to increase the price of the stook
on hand to the consumer. • ~ •
Mr. Stevens, of• Pennsylvania, opposed the
sublitittite. It is well known that the tariff of
1857 which the gentleman proposed to revive
failed to defray, even in a time of profound
peace, the ordinary expeitSea of The iNvern—
ment. Now we are in the midst of' war, and

to whom Mr. Potter's resolution was referred,

Hon.- Henry May (Md.)- bas been or is now
holding criminal intercourse with those in
armed rebellion against the United States,
etc., reported that.tbe gentleman who moved
the resolution was called before the Commit
tee, but hid no evidence tending to prove Mr.
May's guilt in this particular, the resolution
being predicated on newspaper afticles only.
The Committee having no evidence. to impli

investigation will entirely relieve the President
and General Scott from any suspicion of a

through Mr. May.
On motion of Mr. Hickman, the report was
laid on the table. •
Mr. May, by permission of the House, made.
a personal explanation. He was more than
gratified that the Committee on the Judiciary,
had, in this decisive way, condemned an un—
paralleled outrage upon him and his constitu—
ents, and that on investigation by those called
upon-to adduce proof had to admit that there
was no ground of evidence for the charge, but
that it was based on mere newspaper rumor—
the idle gossip of the hour ; and on this a rep—
resentative of the peep) was charged with a
heineris offence. He had no words in which
he could pronounce his indignation and disgust
at such a proceeding. Before he came hither
he had under consideration whether he could
enter upon his duties as a Representative', be—
, cause of the bumilitation he felt at the attitude
of his constituents, now bound in chains,
without the rights of Et free people—all their

prostrated and trampled in the dust.
