In Tun Pans of to-morrow will be pub
lished, by request, the Eulogy or Oration
upon the late Senator Dononas, delivered by
Col. Joni W. FORNEY, before a large audi
ence, in the Lecture Hall of the Smithsonian
Institution, at Washington, upon the evening
of July 3d, 1861. Newspaper agents and
others desiring extra copies of Tan Pans
containing this Eulogy, will be pleased to
transmit their orders immediately, as the extra
edition will be limited.
Ws suow that General MCCLELLAN has
achieved a great victory, but what its effect
will be it Is difficult to conjecture. The de
tails read more like a retreat than a battle.
Yet, this adds to the splendid generalship of
our young commander, for military strategy,
will do more in causing a retreat than per
sonal courage can do in gaining a battle. To
drive ton thousand men from a strong position,
with a loss of but ten of the asaallants, either
shows a want of courage on the part of the
assailed or a determination to retreat and oc
cupy a more tenable position. To do it re
quires fireineas, courage, and good military
ability. This General McCr.zra.sx has done,
and, while we deck his brow with well-earned
laurels, we may be permitted to inquire into
the cause of this singular retreat of the
enemy.
We have no doubt the Southern people will
fight when a battle can be accepted with any
chance of winning glory or victory. Their
generals are ambitions to distinguish them.
Helves, and such an opportunity will probably
never again occur. BRAIIILEGARD would not
be the ambitions man that ho is if he were
content with the doubtful honors of Fort
Sumpter, and JEFYESSON DAVIS is certainly
anxious to do something MOTO in Virginia
than he did at Baena Vista. The military
vanity of these leaders will make them seek a
contest which justice or humanity would com
pel them to decline. They have an immense
army, their soldiers are brave men, and they
are eager for renown.
The campaign thus far has been a series of
retreats. The insurgents retreated from Alex
andria, they retreated from Harper's Ferry,
they retreated from Philippi, and now Gene
ral GLRNETT, at the head of ten thousand
men, retreats from Beverly, hardly striking a
blow. We should not be surprised if BEAU-
X:WARD retreated from Manassas Gap, espe
cially if the immense column on the Potomac
moved towards him in battle array. We have
no moans of knowing how many men he has
at this point, although there cannot be more
than thirty thousand, for there are dill large
bodies of rebels at Richmond, near Fortress
Monroe, on the Upper Potomac, at Lynch
burg, at Fairfax, on the mountains, and'under
General Wise in the Kanawha Valley. An
army thus distributed is nothing more than an
army of outposts. In *other words, while
Davis is in his camp at Richmond, Hammes,
Beavasaaan, Jonison, Wise, and GARNETT
are simply so many picket•guards, stationed
to annoy the Federal forces, and with instruc
tions to fall back at their approach.
We expect one great battle in Virginia, and
that battle will decide the fate of Richmond.
General Seery is preparing to tender it, and
we think Gen. Davis is preparing to accept the
tender. Where it will be fought we cannot tell.
Davis will do all in his power to maintain his
advanced positions . . If he can throw a column
into the northern part of ;Virginia, strong
enough to prevent the forces of General Mc.
Meuse from uniting with those of General
PATTERSON, It will materially assist him. 11113
reverses in Western Virginia plainly show that
he has failed in this endeavor. But one thing
remains for him to do, and that is, to fall back
upon his capital, and make a stand for empire
on the banks of the James river.
In these different movements we can see the
genius of our great General. His forces have
been slowly and surely advancing, taking no
step backward, making no false step forward.
The liberation of Western Virginia has been
accomplished ; Maryland has been made to
keep the peace ; the capital has been saved ;
and a rebel Governor dethroned in Missouri:
These great results have been achieved with
rindiscipirned soldiers. Two-thirds of his men
are still in camp learning the rudiments of mi
litary art, the necessities of soldierly disci
pline, and preparing to take part in the great
straggle surely to come. )To Richmont ! is the
cry. And to Richt:44lnd' our grand army will
very shortly move.
Tito OLD DOMINION is once more repre
sented in the United States Senate. The
wily HOSIER and pompons Rogow having
gone the way of all traitors, the loyal people
of that State have lilted their places with
good and true men. On Saturday the cre
dentials of Wgintow T. WILLET were pre
sented as the successor of Mr. HesoN, and
those of Joaa S. OoshmE as the successor of
Mr. Hos2Es. This grateful office was per
formed by A3DREw Jenson, of Tennessee.
There was a poetic propriety in this conduct
of Mr. Jonssow, for no one could have been
more fittingly selected to introduce the loyal
Senators of Virginia into the councils of the
nation than the loyal Senator from Tennessee.
We have no doubt but that Messrs. Wrarr
and Ositzu.E will be admitted to their seats.
mrtsion or JOHN B. Cter from the
13.01150 of Representatives, as a member from
Missouri, was a very proper act. This man
Manx is an insidious traitor. He was elected
to the present Congress as a friend or the
Union. He professed to be a sincere defender
of the Union, and in this manner obtained the
confidence , of the bravo people of Missouri.
He is now in arms against the Government,
as an ally of Jameson, and as a soldier took
part in the recent straggles In Missouri. He
has no more right to sit in the House than Mr.
Karrr or Mr. PRYOR., and the House properly
punished his treason by expelling him from

The Kingdom of Deli'.
As we anticipated, the recognition of Vie.
TOR Efaissnuaz, as King of Italy, followed
close upon the death of Count Cavens, who
will be known in history, as well an in the
hearts of his grateful countrytnenias the true
regenerator of A 1180113041 freedom and bade
, pendence. While CAvotre lived, it might have
been expected that Hermes would have de
layed to the latest his acknowledgment of re
sults which, after all, OIi.VOVE bad mainly
brought to pass—for it was he who placed the
little Kingdom of Sardinia in the van during
the war in the Crimea, which first obtained a
status for her at the Paris Conference, during
the Peace negotiations which succeeded the
fall of Sebastopol. Cavons's death, lamented
by all the world—except bigots of the small
class to which tg The .o'Donoghue" belongs—
allowed NAPOLEON promptly to recognize the
new Italian Kingdom, with Vicron Estitastrzz
as its ale Ited head. This has been done, too,
upon terms which Italy can scarcely'' quarrel
with—to wit, a hope that the arts, of peace
rather than those of war will be cultivated,
and an announcement of NAFOLZON'ti purpose
of continuing to occupy Rome with his troops,
for the protection of the Pope. • •
It is confidently declared that in the Impe
rial Council, at which this question of recog
nition was discussed, the only objectors were
M. 14r.azuwarcr, M. Benoons, and , -41ie Ern
press of the French.
There seems not much difficulty in the future
of Italy. Acknowledged by the three greatest
powers in the world—that is, by England,
France, and the United States—Vltava EU.
MANUEL is King of Italy, to all intents and
purposes, quite as much as Vicronia, NAPO
LI:oar, and Mr. Emma are the constitutional
raters of their respective countries. Venetia,
at no remote time, will probably be purchased
from Austria, to whom it is now very much of
a dead weight, and on the death of the present
Pope, some new arrangement may be made
for-giving the Head of the Catholic Church an
appanage worthy of his station—though it may
be impossible to restore him to hiaformer sta
tion as one of the temporal Sovereigns of
Italy.
Americans at Queen Victoria's Court
On Thursday, the 27th June, Queen Victo
ria held a Drawing-Room, at St. James's
Palace, London—being her first since her re.-
cent severe and depressing illness. Among
the persons in the diplomatie circle were the
United States' Minister and Mrs. Adams; Mr.
Charles Wilson, secretary of legation ; Mr. B.
Moran, Second Secretarr of Legation, and Mr.
Henry Brooks Adams. In the Throne Room,
among the, presentations in the diplomatic
circle, was that of Mrs. J. Lothrop Motley,
of Boston, by Mrs. Adams. The following
ladies were also , presented to the queen by
Airs Adams : Mrs. Jasper P., Cropsey, of New
York; and Mrs. Tal. P. Shaffner, of Ken
tucky.
The Queen gave a State Concert, at Buck
ingham Palace, on the following evening, at
which Mr. and Mrs. Adams, and the Secre
tary of Legation, were also present. The
London Times, of June 29th nit., has the fol
lowing announcement, tinder the usual official
Court Circutar bead :
On the mansion of the State Concert which
took place last evening at Buskinghata Palace. the
Q14667Z , passed the night= retirement at the Mare
Lodge, litchmenti Park. Ber Majesty was ac
companied by the Prinoess Helena, and was at
tended by Lady Augusta Bruce, Colonel the Hon.
A.. Liddell, and Colonel the Hon. A. N. Hood.
The Queen is expected to return to the Palace this
(Saturday) morning "
It would appear, ;therefore, that her Ma
jesty was unable, or unwilling, after the fatigue
and excitement of holding a Drawing-Room
on Thursday, to attend her own State Concert
the next evening. This tends to confirm what
has been said of her recent severe indisposi
tion.
A Word for the Mail Agents.
a Penny wise and pound foolish" is a pro
verb which tersely expresses a great truth. It
exactly expresses, we submit, what was done
by the late Administration in the case c.f the
route or mail agents between Washington and
Philadelphia by reducing their pay from
$l,OOO to $BOO a year. An act of last Con
gress did some justice to these hard-worked
and very responsible public officers by invest
ing the Postmaster General with a power,
guided by his own judgment and wise discre
tion, of placing the pay upon the old footing.
The mail agents, we understand, are ma
king a strong appeal to tbe Postmaster Gene
ral to have their ftill pay rostored.• They al.
ways have a great deal to do, but, during the.
Brat outbreak of the present war, their labors
and responsibility were most arduous, not
only overland but by water,
.through disaf
fected Baltimore, at the risk of life. Times
out•of number they had to trust themselves,
at that period, in open boats upon the ,isids
terotts Chesapeake. By day and night, in
storm or shine, they did their duty, regard
less of peril, not only uncomplainingly, but
with a cheerfulness which evinced their
loyalty.
In mentioning their claim to a restoration
to the former pay—of the actual of which they
might complain--we cannot forget that the
newspaper press between Washington and this
city aro much indebted to these gentlemen,
who kindly take charge of and faithfully deli
ver in person the various communications
from the press correspondents, all along the
line. The various journals have received
through them the earliest information of the
results of the Cabinet deliberations, and of the
movement*, of the military. This, always per
formed with high integrity and great courtesy,
has been done gratuitously all through—and
we think that every newspaper man, reader as
well as writer, should ,feel .the interest which
we do in the performing of an act of justice to
these capable, courteous, trustworthy, and
inadequately paid gentlemen
Fort Pickens.
On our first page will be found a letter from
our special correspondent, Bars Tor, which
conveys so clear an impression of the actual
status of the Union and Secession forces be
fore and at Fort Pickens, that we take leave
to refer to It, more particularly, here. It ap
pears that the preparations of the Union force
before Pickerel are ti of the most complete na
ture possible;" that every possible or probable
contingency has been so considered and pro
vided for, that Fort Pickens may be considered
impregnable; that the result of experiments
on the United States steam frigate Niagara,
to ascertain the range of her guns, has proved
that by increasing the charge of powder the
effectiveness of each shot can be almost uner
ring, without any material effect on the tim
bers of the frigate; and that both of the
Niagara's batteries' can now be fully worked
at once, (reinforcements of one hundred ad
ditional men having been received and
trained,) leaving even a surplus of men.
We have another interesting letter from
MAUI TOP, dated gc Off Port Pickens, July 2,"
which we shall publish to-morrow.
gc Caleb Cushing" is after "Jefferson Davis!"
:There are certainly some peculiar coincidences
in history, but this last is the most peculiar of
all. No Northern man ever admired DAVIS
more ardently thin Cassino. He was his es
pecial advocate, apologist, and eulogist. He
stood by him at the Charleston Convention,
voted for him at the. Baltimore Convention,
and tried to have, him nominated -by the Se
ceding Convention. They were the Damn
and PITE(IAS of the Democratic party; they
enjoyed its favor, and contributed to its ruin.
Bat alas for history and its changes 1 Oven

about to subside in Richmond, and we read in'
the telegraph that the , revenne•cutter Caleb

Latest from Fort Monroe
Fon:rinse Monson, Jnly 13.—Forty-llve men, of
Colonel Bendix's regiment, yesterday strolled
from Newport News without leave, and were tor
prised a few miles from the camp by a large body
of the Confederates, foot and horse. One of them,
at lead, WAS known to have been killed, and seve
ral wounded. A. considerable number of them felt
into the hands of the rebels.
On the return of those who escaped, seven com
panies of the Seventh regiment were sent out, but
they hove not yet been heard from. -
General Butler, thla afternoon, went to Newport
News, to inquire into the matter. Colonel liendlx

A large number of passengers have just

Zr ts certainly with a feeling of deep morti
fication that we read of the doings of the
Southern privateers. These pernicious pi
rates `are doing fearful damage to our coin
mace, and unless immediate and effective
measures are -taken to drive them from the
'seas, an American'bottom will, with difficulty,
obtain freight enough to serve for ballast.
Two privateers—the Jeff. J)avts and the
Sumpter—have between them taken fourteen
vessels bearing the American flag. The pri
vateer Savannah is the only one which has
been"captured, and her seizure was effected by
a stratagem, and not by the exercise of any
naval skiff.: The news from Cuba tells us that
the Sumptvr privateer, which left New Or
leans a few, days since, by running. the blockade,
has arrived at Cienfuegos a port in the island
of Cube, with seven prizes in , her convoy
WriAo not know whether the Sumpter will
be, pemitted to anchor her prizes in this Cu
ban 'port. The Governor General of Cuba
had heen_applied to for instructions, but the
nature of them bad not transpired. We eer.
tainly.think that, if the recent proclamation
of Spain means anything, such permission_will
be refused. That proclamation declared a
strict neutrality, and placed, all the posses
sions`Of her Catholic Majesty in the position
occnpied tip France and England. Any act
of hospitality to these pirates by the authori
ties of (Juba would lead to very serious com
plications in our relations with Spain, and if
that country makes Cuba a refuge for pirates,
the United States will, of course, bed com
pelled to stispend,all intercourse with her Ma
jesty's Government, and treat it as an enemy
of the RePublic.
The moral effect of an achievement like
that of the Sampler will injure our Government
in the eyes of the world. Let it be remem
bered that ft is but a few days since this yes
left the; New Orleans levee, and sailed tin
der the guns of the
,13rooklys, off the Belize
that her depredations have been committed in
the Gulf - of Mexico, and among. the West In
die Islands,—and that within -:a day or two's
sail of this very Cienfuegos, where she is beg
ging to be'admitted with her plunder, we have
a number of the finest vessels in our navy.
Surely, we have more interests in the Gulf
than , the mere surveillance of Port Pickens.
What will be the effect of these successes, upon
the Courte of Europe 7 If we are unable to
protect our own commerce from our own in
eurgents, we shall very soon have no com
merce to protect. The American flag will be
confined tO mere vessels-ot-war, and the mar=

WILMINGTON, July 14, 1861
Military Movements To-day.
There is en active stir in•the encampments tc
day. Preparations for the forward movement are
visible on .all sides, and the regiments are alive
with animation. The Fourth Michigan, Colonel
Woonatrar, have fast broken camp, and are on the
march to Virginia; the Betiond New Jersey, Col.
McLziot, are preparing to leave. The Third New
Jersey went over last evening, and before to•mor
rowmorning at least three more regiments will
have crossed the Potomac. The condition of the
troops is admirable, their offioers are full of enthu
siasm, and animated by a sense of the justness of
their cause they go forward with a zeal that knows
no defeat. The Chronscla, of this morning, from
which I draw many of the facts contained in my
despatches to day, contained the official report of
a glorious victory, by General lidoCalia.ms, yes
terday, and which, though no other result was
anticipated, has eleetrified the public mind sad
animated the countenances of the thousands of
oltlserut and soldiers moving on the broad side
walks of the avenue.

Bunday ; in Washington !, What a study for the

signia of war: thomands of armed and uniform•

in the gay garb of the volunteer, others reminding
ns of the ptotnres of foreign armies—the Zonave,
the Albanian, the Highlander, the red•ehirted Ga
ribaldian, the French Chasseur. Camped on the
squarer; and the streets, in the environs, and on
the surrounding hills, ready for the oonfliatihripPY
and proud of serving their country—repreeenting
nationalities, and many more *reeds, they are
all worshippers of a common end a redeeming Sa
viour. May this day, that brings rest to BO many
thousands, who watch and pray for them, find
them all in good heart, and hope, and health.

District 66 Boyi" Going on' for the War.
The District volunteers, by their prompt re
sponse to the orders to march out of the District;
and occupy the exposed positions on the Upper
Potomac, and in performing guard duty at the
various bridges leading into our city, have shown
a patriotism and devotion alike worthy of the
cause, and honorable to themselves As their
term of servioe has in some eases expired, and in
others is drawing to a close, they are returning
and being mastered out of the servioe. But the
general sentiment among them is, " my voice is
still for war,".until the nation Is restored to its
legitimate proportions, and every man is made
secure in the peaceable possession of his rights.
They propose to immediately form one er two
crack District volunteer regiments, to go in "for

Military.lntelligence from Washington
[Resort to the AesooLated Prom)
WASHINGTON, July 14 —The Sanitary Commis
sion has just closed its third eiession in Washington,
where its first meeting was held a month ago. The
Commission is now thoroughly organised, and
working effectually. Its agents are at work in the .
principal military encampments. They report
the results of their inquiries and labors by mail to
toe headquarters of the Commission, and a con
siderable number of the agents are constantly em
ployed at the seat of war. The results of the in
quiries thus pursued at all of the encampments,
from rdissahri to Eastern Virginia, have enabled
the commissioners to act definitely and efficiently
upon a great 'variety of practical questions that
are of vital importance to the life and health of
the soldier. , •
• The following are among the leading questions
discussed and acted on during the present session
of the Commission : Ist. The payment of soldiers'
wages by allotments, or by treasury orders, for
the benefit of their families and themselves. 21.
The condition and wants of the army in and near
Washington; and a like report from the encamp
ments at- Fortress Monroe, and a similar report
from the Western 'enoampments, visited by the
President. 3d. Measures foi improving the camp
pollee and regimental hygiene. 4th. Special re
ports from various inspecting agents of the COM
mission. bth. Improvement in the soldier's ra
tions and regimental censure. 6th. The diminu
tion or prevention of intemperance in the army.
7th. The establishment of oompetentoooke in every
regiment. Bth. Nursing and the better care
of the sick and wounded. An abstract of the seve
ral reports were ordered to be published In dam
meta form. They are in press and will 80011 be
famished to the public.
The • treasurer's report exhibits the pleasing
fact that the labors of this Oonomission are
appreoiated by life insurance. companles ; a single
company having contributed $l,OOO to the trea

Details of the Battle of Rich's Monn.
BEVLBLIC, July 12.—Yesterday morning Gen."
McClellan ordered four regiments (the Bth, 10tb,
and 13th Indiana, and 'the 19th Ohio) to preoeed
along the line of the hills southeast of the enemy's
entrenched camp, on the Beverly road, where it
armies Rich's Mountain, two miles east of the
enemy's position, with orders to advanoe along
the Beverly road; and attack the east aide of the
work—Gen. MoOlellan being prepared to assault
the west aide as soon as the firing should announce
the commencement of the-attack:
The capture of $ courier, who mistook the road
through the enemy'a camp for the route of our
troops, plaoect the enemy in posmoston of the
movement.
When gen. Rosenerans reached the Beverly road,
at two o'clock, after a moat exhausting maroh over
the mountains, he found the enemy posted on the
opposite side of the road, about 800 strong, with
two cannons, holding a strong position, partially
fortified. An engagement immediately took place,
and continued for three quarters of an hour, when
the rebels were totaily routed, with a loss of 300,
including ten officers and both oannon. About 75
of the killed and 75 wounded are in our hands, be
sides 150 prisoners.
The road was betwesti hills. Qat troops,
descending a steep deellvitY;:weire greatly exposed
to the fire of the rebels, who occupied the opposite
hill, and poured their musketry, shot, and Shell
upon them.
Gen. Rosenorans' column remained at the place of
the engagement during the night.
Gen. McClellan was in position with his whole
force during the afternoon, ready to make the as
sault, but heard nothing from the other column ex
cept distant Bring early in the morning.
Be was proceeding to plant hie cannon upon
an eminence commanding a portion of the , rebel
camp, and preparing to attack the whole nest in
front, when it was ascertained that-the enemy had
evacuated the place during the night, moving
towards Laurel Rill, leaving a few' men with
their sick, and their cannon, camp equipage, and
transportation.
A rapid march was then made by General Ate: .
Clellan to Beverly, pealing Generil Rosenorans'
command on the road, with instructions to follow
quickly.
At Beverly it was asoertalned, late in the day,
that the rebel forces at Laurel Bill had retreated,
moving towards . Romney. Oar total lose is not
more than .11' killed and 35 wounded.
The fovegoing report has been approved b 7 Gen.

THIRTY-SEVENTH CONGRESS,
, EXT.RA SESSION.
WAsaufaros, July 18, 1881.
SENATE
, Several petitions ism presented.
Mr Bala,
of New Hampshire, introduced a bill
providing an Assistant Secretary of the Navy. He
(erred to tho,CoMmittee on Naval Affairs.
A communication was revrived from the Post
muter General, in relation to having suspended
the mails in the seoeded States. Ordered to be
printed.
Mr. Joanna, of Tennessee, presented the cre
dentials of. the Senators elect, from Virginia—fW.
B. Wiley in place of Mr Mason,
and John S. Car
lie in plane of Mr. Hunter. -•
Mr. JOHNSON said he looked upon it as a favora
ble omen—the return of the Old Dominion to this
body.
Mr. BAYARD, of Delaware, protested against the
admission of these gentlemen as Senators in place
of Senators whose time had not expired. Be
thought a very grave question was involved, and
moved to refer the credentials to the Committee
on the Judioiary before administering the oath.
Mr SAULSBURY. of Delaware, said that the ore
denials stated that, on the 3th day of July. these
gentlemen were elected Senators in place of Messrs.
Mason and Bunter, but only yesterday the Senate
treated the said gentlemen as Senators, and when
these new gentlemen were elected, in the judgment
of the Senate, there was no vacancy, for the Senate
treated Messrs. Mason and Bunter as such, and
expelled them. For that reason, he thought the
oredentiais should be referred.
. Mr. Jonasow,Of Tennessee , hoped the motion
would not PrOVRI. The oredentials were prima -fans
evidenoe that the gentlemen were Simmons elect
*wording to the Constitution and the laws of Vir
ginia. There could be no objection to their being
qualified then, and any contest could be settled af
terwards.
Mr. Elm:mammy said, if Messrs Mason and Hun
ter had appeared yesterday and claimed seats, he
would have voted to expel them, because they had
taken up arms against the United .States ; but if
yesterday the Senate had the right to expel Messrs.
M&8011 and Hunter, had they any right now to re
cognise an election before that: time? Thts was
the only objection he had. He wanted the Senate
to lot according to the Constitution, and preserve
a consistency of the record. • '
Mr. Taustrint.t., of Illinois, referred to the ease
of new States, which elected Senatore before they
were really in the Union. We have credentials
here fair'on their fade ; hot if going outside of the
credentials,
_then we know that the old Governor is
in arms againat the country, and not recognised
as Governor, but as a traitor. A portion of the
people of Virginia are loyal to the Union, and the
loyal men , have a Legislature, and ask a repre
sentation.. They are entitled to it, and the ene
mice of the country are not entitled. .
Mr. BAYARD replied, contending that it *ad
against the proper form of law, and was recognising`
insurrection in a State •
Mr. Hems, of New Hampshire, denied that thin
was recognizing insurrection in a State. It was
recognising true and loyal men. There was no
precedent; because the world' never saw each a
state of things There was no time to spare on
form and ceremony It was a question of life of
death with the Government. The Senate must
meet the issue here, and everywhere the people
are impatient now, and he feared it would turn
into indignation if the Senate hesitated. There
could be no compromise but the Constitution of the
United States.
Mr. P0R1111.1., of Kentucky, wished to enter his
Voted- against the admission of these men. It
looked like overthrowing the Constitution.
Mr Tansrarrxx referred to a cue in 1790. when
the Governor of Virginia appointed Mr. Walker
in the place of John Maion, who refused to aot.
These expelled benators referred to sot before the
other men were elected. .
.
Mr. LAvnsic said he had supposed first that the
western portion of Virginia had sixieded. In that
ease he had prepared to oppose it. He would not
recognise in any way this moat damnable dootrine
of secession that .a Government was ever infected
with. Kat this was no; the case. Here was the
great seal of Virginia, and a Legislature regularly
°looted, and the Senate was bound to admit these
gentlemen as Senators from Virginia_
Mr. Joni:son, of Tennessee, asked if the vacan
cy did 'trot really exist at the time the Senate ex
pelled the other Senators?
Mr. Seunanner said, in his judgment the Senate
might have, treated it as a varaney.,but had they
treated the Senate as full and expelled Senators?
He wished to be distinctly understood ; he bad no
sympathy with the, expelled Senators for he be
lieved, with the Senator from California, that the
dootritie of secession is a most damnable one, and
leading to the most dangerous remits
Mr. 'Jonsson, of Tennessee, oontended that it
waethe duty of the Federal Government to some
to the help of the loyal men in Virginia, and sus
tarn them in the great straggle against rebellion,
which he believed would result in the overthrow of
:treachery and treason. He hoped these men would
be qualified to take their seats here among the Se
nators, and help to battle for the preservation of
the Union.
Mr. Connswns, of Vermont, contended that the
effect of the resolution of the Senate simply was
that the Senators expelled were guilty of, treason,
and that works attainder from the timer of the
treason committed ; and now Virginia sends two
Senators here, and asks that they , be : admitted,
and clearly th ei Senate has no right to refuse them.
In 1791 Mr. Pinkney resigned; and the Governor
called an election, and Mr. Mercer was elected .
The HOW. dsolded that the State had a right to
deoide on a vacancy. He contended that it was a
parfeetty ;fleet ogee, and it was right and proper
to admit , these gentlemen.
The dismission was carried on by Messrs. SAULS-
Busti'sind Bayard at some length.
Mr. Tan Brox, of New Jersey, said he was glad
the Senator from Kentucky (Mr. Powell) . had
asked for the ayes and noes. The - Senator had
put himself forward as the ohampion of 'the Con
stitution, and arraigned the President for a viola
tion of the Constitution ; but therSenater admitted
that the - President had done a constitational sot
when he - called for the aeventy.five thousand men.
But did net Kentucky_ answer to the call
of the, Piesident ? Did she think that neutrality
was true fealty to the Constitution? It was with
the country as with God —be who is not for us is
against us.
Mr Powein said that Kentueky believed that
.the troops were intended to subjugate the South,
and therefore refused. Kentucky desires peace
and compromise, and not to imbrue her hands in
-'her brothers' blood. She was alw ays _ ready to an
swer the oral to fight against'a foreigivenemy.
Her attitude should be admired .by all Christian
men as a peacemaker.
Mr Tax EYCK said he, could only repeat the
words of the gallant, Roseau, in the Senate of
Kentucky, who bed said that neutrality is trea
son. The troops here are not for the purpose of
subjugation, but for suppressing insurrection and
preserving the Union. „ -
Mr. Doonirrta 'said: he wanted to -vote. The
state of the country wanted 'deeds, not Words.
The motion was disagreed to—yeas 5, nays 35
• Mecums Bayard, Bright, Polk, Powell, and Seale

- The. Senators were then sworn in, suppressed
applause breaking forth ae they took the oath.
The loan bill was taken up, and several amend.
"ciente from the Committee on Finance adopted.
Mr. SAULSBURY moved to amend it, - so as to
make $150,000,000, instead of $250 000,000, on the
ground that one hundred and fifty millions of
dollars would be sufficient until the next•eassion

On board the boat the German women bug their

A few young men with canes lounge upon l i d ,

Suddenly we tarn toward Gloucester, hidde n In
the thick willows, with the cupola of the Butts

In a moment we are mule fast to the slip, the
ferry gates are thrown open and we sally Into
the hotel yard, and mingle with the thousand and

At divers little booths, with windows opening in
every direction, barmaida are selling beer, he r .

tables, laughing, reading the Sunday papers, A.

wines, and the foaming range of the red beer, the
free, generous spirit of the lads of Heidelberg, and
the yellow haired Sebes of Hesse. Seemingly ob
tuse, paselve, and sluggish, they have yet softened
the hard, cold character of the Saxon, and led biz
away from much of his native sedateness to a con
dition bordering upon their own merry and eon

be mistaken for any of the pleasure-pleoes near the
old town of the Rhine, and on any Banday, we
mark, la hie beautiful simplioity, the Gerta4n and
his family, all more or lets anglicized, sauntering
up and down by the Indian Springs, forgetting In
the quiet and rational pleasures of the Seventh
day the cares and labors of the past six and the
aix to come.
Among the families at Gloucester yesterday, we
noticed one, consisting of a very old woman, inca
pable of saying a word of English—probably the
mother of the head of the family—a staid, brown
faced German and wifethe latter holding a very
small child in her arms—and four small 'Ail
dren, the oldest not more than ten years of age.
The mother, speakicg broken English, was
pouring beer, by small quantities, into the month
of the baby, who laughed, inarticulately, and
clapped its fat hands. The boys made a great ado
over a single beet that was allotted them, and
greatly disturbed the meditations of the old lady,
who finally made a dive at the largest and pulled
his ears.
The father thereupon took cognisance of the
youngsters, and upon conferziog with itia wife, in
a strain blending deference and argument, it wax
concluded to buy each of the boys& small or "pony"
beer, and despatch them to a neighboring table to
amok their own amusement.
. As we pasted away, we esw ona of the lads, ly
ing en his back, held down by a second, who was
striving to force the beer between his teeth.
The" returning boats bring up the Germane,
brimming with beer and jollity. At ilia time the
sun has set, and the atmosphere has a sort of pale,
beautiful clearness; the water is streaked like the
sky, and the city, with its towers and spires, looks
over the Neck, gradually fading away in the gather
ing darkness.
The .parties scatter at the slip, the Blindly al
most over; and few, in their homes that night,
have clearer consoienoes or minds eo well content.
