General McClellan's Vactoraes.
The brilliant victories which have recently
been achieved. by General filoCtzmart have
justly rendered him one of the most popular
officers in our army, and justified all the high
expectations which had been entertained by
those who 'knew his sterling qualities. He
has given the foes of the Union no time to re
organize their scattered forces and to regain
strength and courage, bnt his blows have
fallen thick and fast upon them, until, in his
own laconic language, inhis report of the bat
tle of Carrackford, ti Secession is killed in"
the as section of country" in which he has
assailed it. Before his advancing legions and
resistless attacks the, insurgents in terror i
but, even then, his combieations are of sucli a
character that they do not escape, for he has
already taken more than a thousand prisoners,
and, with but a small loss among his own
forces, killed two hundred of the enemY, in
cluding one of their moat distinguished gene
rals.
These results are peculiarly gratifying to our
citizens, not only on account of the important
influence they will' - exercise in deciding the
great struggle in which the patriots of the na
tion are engaged, but because we are proud to
claim Gen. Ida°Lauda; as a Philadelphian,
and because ills well understood that they are
due, not to accident, but in a great measure to
his military genius, nobly aided and sustained,
as it has been, by the valor and skill of the
brave officers and met under his command.
His training has admirably fitted him for the
arduous and important duties which have de
volved upon him, for no young man in our coun
try has taken greater pains to render himself a
thorough soldier. He not only attained high
distinction in different branches of service in
our army before the present war commenced,
but by close personal inspection of all the
Russian, French, and English camps during
the Crimean contest, thoroughly familiarized
himself with all the important phases of
modern warfare. Devotedly attached to the
Union, all the energies of his nature have been
enlisted in the present struggle to preserve it;.
and he has displayed, in all his movements
since it commenced, a degree of zeal, energy,
courage, and sagacity deserving of great
praise; The completeness of his preparations
doubtless aided materially to insure his suc
cess; and he evinced in organizing his forces
the same skill which, when he fairly encoun
tered the enemy, produced such glorious
triumphs. There was recently a gentleman
in this city, who was taken prisoner by Gene
ral JOHNSON'S forces at Harper's Ferry; on
account of his Union sentiments, and during
his captivity he frequently heard the officers
of the Insurgent army express serious appre
hensions or the fate that awaited them after
Goners). McCratuan's column fairly com
menced operations in Western Virginia. The
despatches of the last few days show that
these fears were remarkably well founded ; and,
if his life is spared, his name will doubtless
continue to strike terror into every traitor's
breast as long as an armed foe of our flag and
Government treads our soil.
The' Privateer Sumpter.
It is probable that the privateer Sumpter,
which recently captured a number of Ameri
can vessels near Cienfuegos, has cc caught a
Tartar," after all. We were yesterday shown
a lotter from that port, dated July 9, 1861,
and received by a gentleman in this city,
Which said :
‘• Yesterday live American vessels left here for
different ports in the United States, and one bark
bound to England There was a privateer out.
aide, whiob captured five of them, and brought
them back to this port. The privateer was a
steamer named .Habana. She to now under the
guns of the fort They say they will not let her
leave here She is now out of coal. More sol•
diary have been sent for. I do not know what
will be the result, but I hope every one of them
will be hanged."
The privateer Sumpter is supposed to have
been formerly known as the steamer Margate
de to Habana, which was sent from Caba to
Vera Crnz in March, 1860, to aid Gen. liiraa
ans. It was there captured by the American
fleet, and sent to New Orleans, at which port
it was recently fitted out for its piratical mis
sion.
We learn from an authentic source, that
the vessels referred to in the letter from which
we have quoted were captured when about
eighteen miles out from Cienfuegos, and that
four of the cargoes and one of the ships be
longed to Mr. TERRI, a very wealthy mer
chant, who resides in that town.
It will readily be understood, therefore, that
an intense feeling of indignation exists against
this piratical cruiser among the people whose
property her crew had attempted to pilfer.
Her ge prizes" have, of course, been rescued
from her grasp, and it is very doubtful whe
ther sbe will be permitted to escape. Mr.
TERRY, who is a man of indomitable energy
and determination, will probably spare no
exertions to secure her condemnation, as he
will not care about having future attacks of a
similar character made upon Ins vessels and
cargoes; and as the Sumpter or liabana is out
Of coal, and under the guns of a fort which is
about being reinforced, ahe may fare almost as
bidly as the privateer Savannah.
The Capture of the Brig John Welsh
The intelligence of the capture of the brig
John Welsh, of this city, by the privateer Jeff
Davis, has intensified the feeling which pre
•tonely existed in regard to the recent depre
dations of the piratical cruisers that have
been fitted out in the Southern ports. The
circumstances under which the vessel was
seized are of a character, we think, that will
arouse the indignation of all civilized coun
tries. Louts NAPOLE97!, will scarcely be. dis 7
Posed Lo sympathize with men who hoist the
French flag to assist them in carrying out
their infamous schemes; for, if this is tolera
ted, no American merchantmen will .dare to
aid French vessels in apparent distress. Nor
is it likely the Spanish Government will tole
rate the capture of the property of its subjects
simply because it is found by these plunderers
on board of American vessels. But no matter
what may be the opinion of foreign nations, it
is our sacred dnty to do all in our power to
pretest our commerce. The public demand
that the most vigorous measures be adopted
to drive these pirates from the ocean.
PENNSYLVANIA L=AD.—We were yesterday
shown some very beautiful specimens of lead
ore, obtained from the new lead mine in New
Britain Township, in Bucks county, on the
north branch of the Neshaming creek. Mr.
NEHMETZE, of Lehigh county, is the owner f of
this mine, and is working it himself. Be has
taken out eighty tons of ore, yielding 76 to
80 per cent. of lead, and the present daily

WASHINGTON CONSM3PONDESON
Letter from 4, OCCaSiOnaL7
(Corremondenoe of The From.)
WassteoroN, July 15, 11561.
The effect of Major General McClellan , ' double
triumph, by whioh, to toe his own expressive lea
rns, be has I. accomplished the object of libera
ting Western Virginia," is perceivable in the ex
ultation of the friends of the movement and in the
corresponding despondency of its enemies. It has
served to increase the confidence 'of the one and
to expose the boasting self sufficiency of the other.
The leader of the traitor forces was an °Meer in the
regular army of the United States, from which he
deserted for the purpose of assisting in the destruc
tion of the Union; and some of his amiatanta are
man In the same category. You will remember
that not long ego I referred to the weakness of the
Davis banditti in the Old Dominion, and to the
feet that the people of that State, who had been
forced to bear arms against the General Govern
meet, were not at heart against it, but only sub
mitted because they could not help themselves.
This theory is daily verified by those'who man
age to escape from this thraldom,—among others)
by an intelligent young printer, who got out of the
clutches of the traitors, under whom he was forced
to serve, end is now engaged in the National
Printing Office here as a compositor. He gives the
meat doleful accounts of the eondition of the army
under Beafiregard. They are not paid, are poorly
fed, and miserably clothed. Numbers of Northern
men have been impressed into the servioe, and,
have resolved, among- themselves, never to are
upon their flag should a conflict take place, while
native Virginians everywhere curse the hour that
they allowed themselves to be overridden by Hun
ter, Mason, 6.1. Co. Nothing is more certain, at
this, present writing, than the complete triumph
of the Federal Government in Virginia, and
the utter awinktlation of the traitors. General
Scott is drawing his iron lines around them-with
inexorable mathematical accuracy Indifferent
to the criticisms of thbse who have doubted him
great powers, and sure of the field upon which
his operations are conducted, the !daces! of
McClellan is but the beginning of the
end. Steadily with the march of irresisti i .
ble fate Patterson is proceeding in the dis
charge of his high mission, and to day or to-raor
row fdepowell will move from this, the centre, so
ea to form &junction with one or both of the other
divisions, which willthen march upon Rielaniond,
and there strike the blow that will terminate the
reign of terror in Virginia Meanwhile tae work
of demoralisation among the traitor troops is going
on. The people are tired of the rule of their self
constituted tyranta, and in their secret hearts look
forward with joy to the time when these men will
be foroed to fly for.the sake of saving their worth
less lives; and when their Representatives and
Senators will sit in the Congress of the United
States, giving a new direction to the destiny of
Virginia, and opening up the way for such a future
as will be worthy of her Inexhaustible resources
and glorious geographical position. Fortunately
for the braggarts who =have so long domineered in
the National Councils, the most of them have been
constrained to put on the rebel uniform and to
prove the sincerity of their threats by taking
prominent positions against the country. When
thee* leaders see that they have lost the
oonfldence of their former constituents, and
that the Federal Government is in dead earned,
there will be such a stampede as will. soon deliver
Virginia from their cursed influence. Wise, Ms.
son, Pryor, Garnet, Edmundson, Extra Billy Smith,
Hunter, Tyler, and the whole of that odious aria*
tocraey who have 1 rded it over the western coun
ties of the State, and have gloriedin being the first
of all the families of the South, will 'be forced to
take refuge in the cotton Commonwealths, in order
to avoid the experiment of stretching some of the
hemp of Uncle Sam. They may make a stand at
some point, but I will not be surprised if even
Richmond itself Is abandoned to the armies of
the Republic, because it has now been reduced to
a certainty that a conspiracy which has "no 'basis
either in morals or in money, either in the courage
or the confidence of its leaders and its followers,
must fall of its own corruption.
What is to be done with the prisoners taken by
McClellan? They will be an expensive burden
to feed and to watch. One plan is to set the whole
crowd loose, after administering the oath of alle
gtiacoe, and RCM statesmen contend that with their
1 te sad experience not one will reventure to tate
up arms. In fast, may not a liberal treatment of
these misguided people tempt others to desert the
dig of the traitors, and, in this way, dislocate and
break down the whole army of Davis and Beattie
gard
he admission of Messrs'. ClarWe and Willey, the
new Senators appointed by Governor Pierpont,
occurred almost simultaneously with the victorious
achievement of McClellan. Thus another gloomy
prospect is presented to the ambitious vision of the
dismayed and disappointed oligarchy. They at
last realise that there is no hope for them, no re
pantanoe, no absolution, no more fat offloes, no op
portunities to laugh at and denounce the Northern
people in the halls of Congress. The soeptre has
departed from Judea. 'New Virginia takes the
plaoe of old Virginia. The people of the West
have taken possession of the whole machinery of
the State government, and their bold action, con
firmed by both Houses of Congress, will undoubt
edly be responded to by the people of the tide
water counties. Men long kept in the baokground
by the F. F V.'B will come forward and devote
their energies to the reinvigoration of the State, in
all the arts of peace, after the power of the Federal
Constitution has been tally established.
Quite a delegation of nneonditional Union Re
presentatives from Kentucky and Missouri, under
the broad seal'and salvation of Lieutenant General
Scott, visited the Amerioan camps on Arlington
Heights and beyond Alexandria, on Sunday.
Among the number was the veteran John I. Crit
tenden, of Kentucky. He returned greatly edified
and delighted by what he had seen, as well as by
the courteous and enthusieuitio reception tendered
him by General McDowell and the troops under
hie command. The sastaele of the power of the
Federal Government is nowhere so imposing as on
this field of operations. The loyalty of the soldiere,
the immense fortifications they have thrown up,
their unequalled discipline, their essences for the
tray, and at the same time their repeated expres
sions that their object is not bloodshed, but simply
the vindication of . a threatened Constitution and
outraged laws, convinced the unconditional Union
men of the Southern States that there was no re.
slating the good ease, and that every reason con
spires to make it acceptable to all patriotic hearts,
OCCASIONAL.
Letter from 64 liarvey Birch "
ECorreepondenoe at The Preas.l
WAsaiscrros, July 13, 18111
I have been deeply impressed with the signifi
canoe of a foot recently mentioned by some army
correspondent, which was, that the muskets of Be.
oestionists, who are taken prisoners, have been
found to have their vent-holes Mopped with lead,
that they might do no execution against the Union
forces Were the present contest between the
North and Borah based on any real principle,
which would enlist the sympathies, fire the patri
otism, and animate the honorable ardor of the men
of each section, it would be one of the most terri
ble and sanguinary contests ever recorded in the
fell history of " Ate hot from hell." Bat it cannot
be denied that the North is oontending for great
principles, while the South Is rabid from the tem
porary influence of maddening fallacies, which
have been'artfully made to assume the guise of
political truths, and to drag the gallant youths of
the seceding States into the very slough of armed
rebellion against their country. We mutt expect
that these young men, in the quiet of their camp
life, are led to think over the causes of their conduct,
and to analyse the motives of their tempters, and
the more they reflect, the more they must be
convinced that they are engaged in a parricidal
war, which will bring ruin upon all their future
prospects, and embitter all their lives from the
consciousness of fatal wrongs committed by Ahem.
It'not is wonderful, then, that their swords are
" glued to their scabbards by wronged orphans'
tears," or that " some undone widow site upon their
arm" and makes it nerveless. Buoh as these may
well olose the vents of their muakets, that they may
be harmless. Bat there is another olaas of men,in
the Confederate armies who have " no stomach for
the fight" against the stars and stripes; who love
their country, are opposed to the war, and are the
fast friends of the Union. These men have been
pressed into the rebel service, and have, under the
system of terrorism, been compelled to serve in the
Southern ranks to save their own lives, prevent the
confiscation of their property, or protect their fami
lies from insult. ' In the Border States —and doubt-
less in the Cotton States also—at least one-half of
all the levies are of this latter clam. They have
been foully subjugated by military despotism to
the oondition of Russian aerie or French conscripts ;
and the press gauge which formerly disgraced Old
Ragland, until silenced by the indignant force of
pablio opinion, have had their counterpart in the
vigilance committees of the South, tearing men
from their homes, and coercing freemen to fight
battles and espouse a cause at which their souls
revelled. These men cannot be expected to
submit to such tyranny, when the means
of relief are presented;; and I hazard nothing
in saying that this will be found the secret of the
large number of prisoners who will be taken at
every oonfllet, now that the opposing armies have
come to close quarters. It will not answer for
Northern men to brand their erring Southern bre
thren as cravens; the records of too many battle
fields affirm the contrary ; bat they are disorga
nised and palsied because their hearts are not in
the contest, while we of the North are fighting for
everything which can ennoble war, and for the
dearest interests of our country- Oar cause is Just,
and

When and how to this war to end. and pacilioe

question whioh 1 have heard put to the Roue this
week, but not for the purpose of having an answer,
but to throw embarrassments "in the way of Its

" how" is the 'rating of all the requisite men and
means to exterminate the last vestige of treason
from the land. The queStien of pacification will re
solve itself as soon as the'seceding States have re
publican forme of government re-establiehed, and
their people can fearlessly express their sentiments
at the ballot boxes. Then, too, the ultimate so
vereignty of the people will be vested In three.
fourths of the States, to amend or modify the Con
stitution, and to that umpirage alone will our feal
ty be due. This was the principle upon which
Jacksonian Democracy was based, and it has been
affirmed whenever brought before &judicial tribu
nal, and even before the Court of Appeals of South
Carolina. No individual State, or combination of
States less than three fourths of the whole, can
alter, amend, or abolish the Conttitution. That
instrument has provided the mode for its own,
correction, and any effort , to cleat It otherwise Is
treason. The people . of te South know this, or
will know it when their fate prophets are expelled
and the true teaohers are allowed to show 'where

The Movements the Army. .
Following closely yesterday upon the reports
from General IdoCusr,Lest of his glorious suocessee
in Western Virginia, we had also a rumor that
our troops here had advanced upon Fairfdx Court
Douse, and the enemy had evacuated. The report
was undoubtedly premature, though it has been
published this Morning in one of our city papers,
which, in another column, has an editorial charg
ing Washington correspondents with publishing
"an endless and scandalous succession of lies."
But, though the report was premature, Fe have
now the evident:le that a few hours only will be
required to make it literally correct. The move
ment of troops yesterday across the river, : the
large transportation of ammunition,' ambulances,
.to., and the orders to move' forward given to's
large nataber. of regiments, all point to one feet—

As the rebels have filled all the roads and ave•

buted in the following proportions : Four hundred
to the New Jersey, fonr hundred to the Connec

This morning seventy-five Government wagons
went over the Long Bridge, to move the camp

and,about to advance toward Manassas Junction.

in language peculiarly appropriate to their poal

To day they marohed to the arsenal and ex
changed their old muskets for the Harper's Ferry

Dr. Noawoon, of Christ Church, Georgetown,

where he is reported to have been exerting his in
fluence, whatever it may be, against the Govern

then suspected of sympathy with the Secession
movement, and it is quite time that he was brought
to an examination, that he might have an oppor•
Mittel of proving himself innocent, and thus
silence forever the tongue of slander, or be
proved guilty and hang There Is but one right

Elfmrinur Butcn
WAsuotormt, July 15.—1 t appears from offiaial
data, that three several orders relative to the de
claration of martial law have -been Issued by this
Administration. On the 27th of April, the follow
ing was addressed to the commanding general of
the array •
" You are engaged in suppressing an liumrreo
tion against the laws of the United States; If, at
any point, on or in the vicinity of any military
,ine which IS now, or shall be used between the
city of Philadelphia and the city of Washington,
you find resistance'which renders it neces3ar to
suspend the writ of habeas corpus for th e pu blic
safety, you, personally or through' the officer in
command at the point at whioh resiatanoe . ocours,
are authorised to suspend that writ."
This is signed by the President, and counter
signed by•the 600rethry of State.
•This order was modifted on the 21 of July so
that the above authority should extend to the mili
tary line between New York and,Washington.
The third case was under the proolarnation_of
the Prealdent, and made martial law operate in Flo
rida over Key West, Tortugas and , Sants,,Rota

THE LATEST FROM THE GRAND
,ALZEIXDRIA, July lb—y. M.—A bearer of de
epatehee from •Richmond' to Lord Lyons passed
throigh our lines today, escorted by the. Black
horse Cavalry.
The reported occupation of Fairfax Court Hone.
was probably founded on the vagaries of some mi
litia captain. There has been no movement what
ever that oould be termed an advanoe, the position
of the troops at present being confined within the
Springfield station, on one aide, and Falls Church,
on the other.
It is reported that a Z3IIILTO named Kelly was
caught within the lines at Fairfax Court House,
and during his confinement he attempted toast Are
to the'fsil. • - • • . • . .
There are doubtless about 1 000 tieOPit'still at
Fairfai station, besides the farce IS the Court
House, and that the entrenchments still exist.
it Is stated that the troops at FairfaX include
100 negroes, besides a battalion of 400 others lathe
Manassas junction. •
Regarding the disposition of the three -months
men to re-enlist, abOut whioh there his been - soine
inquiry, it seems to be the prevailing idea among
these troops to return home before re-enlisting,
unless the position they occupy may demand their
services. The With and Tenth Pennsylvsmia
Regiments will doubtless re-enlist. In the Fourth
six out of the ten companies are sodisposed. From
the Ohio First and Second a regiment will doubt
less be created under command of Col. McCook.
Col. Wilcox, of the Miohigen First, will form a
three-years regiment out of his present force, and
additional troops are now being received at De
troit.
Five Whites sought refuge in our lines to-day,
having
.escaped from Acquia Creek, where they
are being impressed Into the Confederate service.
Both of the Rhode. Island balloons which were
inflated and ready, for ascension, exploded while
being taken to Falls Church. .

mond; there is authority for stating that he went
thither with no mission from. the Government, neor
was he entrusted with any business' whatever on
its behalf. On the contrary, be obtained s care

The reign of terror in Loudon county is at its
height. Notices for militia to-day wore given on
Saturday last, when the °Meons were told to be
ready to be drafted into the militia for an Immo.
diate march to Manassas Junction, to fill the ranks
of General Beaaregard's forces. All the Union
men of Waterford determined to escape. Twelve

plokels for nine miles, arriving at' the Point of
Rooks, when they Crossed the ford at that point
and got inside, the lines of the tat New Hamp
shire, and came on to Washington to-day, ar
riving this evening. Forty more Union men
were to run away yesterday and try to cross
at the same ford last night ; . but during yes
terday afternoon the Confederate ploketa on the
other side were seen to stop and drive book several
rquids of men who were coming in the direction of
the ford. They are supposed to hove been some of

Mr Monism asked that the bill be put . on Ha
paatage.
Mr. VALLANDIGHAM ' of Ohio, objected to tido,
but not to the introduedott of the bill.
Mi. BIIBMITT, of Kentucky, said there would be
no trouble if the House would order the question
on tta passage to be taken by yeas and nays.
Mr. VAILJXDIGHaIt wanted the bill'printed, is
to have an opportunity to examine its de

Mr. Puma ' of Wisoonsin, offered a resolution
directing the Committee on Steotions fo inquire
whether the Hon Henry May. Representative of
the Fourth district of Maryland, has been found
holdiog criminal intercourse and oorrespondeace
with persons in armed rebellion against the United
States, and to report as to what course should be
taken in the premises, with power to send for per
none and papers.
Mr. 'Deltas, of Massachusetts, suggested that the
Judiciary Committee tie directed to inquire - into the
subjeot
Mr. theltifsw, of FennsylVania, moved that the
committee have power to examine witnesses under
oath or affirmation.
Mr. Cox, of Ohio, moved an amendniett, as fol
lows "And that Hon. Henry May be informed of
the passage of A.his resolution, if practicable, be
fore action thereon by the 'committee."
' Mr. YOTTICE accepted all these amendments
Mr. Buararr, of Kentuoky, raised the point that
this was not a question of privilege, but ha Was.
overruled by the House.
Mr. Dawes, of Massaohusetts,•suggiisted - that
Mr. May La not a member of this House, not having
taken his Beat. What authority, therefore, had
the House over hiric, or over the gentleman
(Clarke) whom the' House on Saturday expelled,
before he had taken his seat here? • -
Mr. POTTIIR rep!ied. that Mr. May's name is On
the roll of the House, and it was shown by the
newapaner statements that Mr. May had gone..to
Riohmond It Was but just to Mr. May that this
matter should be investigated.
Mr. VALLARDIGHAN I of Ohio, believed bo had a
right, by authority, to day that Mr. May.went to
Richmond with the knowledge. and consent Of- the
Administration, and with the authority of Lienti
tient General Scott. Beyond this he knew nothing."
Mr. Wasuerratta. of Illinois, bad authority for
denying that Mr. May went to Riobmond by an
thority of the Adridoistratlort. • "
Mr. VALLABLILGHair expl ained that Mr May
went with the pompon of Scott, wbioh passport, he
Presumed, could not have been issued withorit the
knowledge of the Adtainistration, and an acquaint.
anCle with Mr. May's purposes. •
Mr. 11;16Cnaertattn, of . Illinois, was not prepared
to day that Mr. May went to Riohmond with the
°catmint, or by the authority of the Administration
but .he .would say , that he hail stitistaotory and
strong reasons for belie - Hog that the Adnaltdatra.
Ben was not unadvised of Mt. May's intended visit
to Richmond. He had reason to believe that May
went on a pan from General Boott. What Mr.
May did after reaching there. Mr—MoClernand
was not prepared to assert. He knew Mr. May
personally, and believed him to be a patriotic and
loyal gentleman. lie understood that Mr May
was detained from the House by sickness, and wad
it just to found these proceedings on mere news
paper reports?
Mr. RICEIABDROA understood from May, a
resident here, that his brother Henry was pros
trated by severe sickness in Baltimore. It would .
be exceedingly improper for the House to take ac
tion in relation to this subject, unless the subject
was referred to the committee on this statement
of facts.
.Mr. Corms, of lo*a, remarked that passes
are given without reference to a man's position in
soolety.
Mr ITALLstrinounr did not wish to .be misun
derstood. lie said Mr May went on his mission
to Richmond, which was of a political character,
with the knowledge and actinic:memo of the Admi•
nistration, and by the authority of General Boott.
The pass was not in the ordinary. forin, but to
pass the lines, and given after Mr. May had dis
closed to Gen. Scott the purposes for which he went
'to Richmond.
air Evivgas, of Pennsylvania. said it became
the duty of the mover of the resolution;"after the
statement of ;Mr. Vallandigham ,to modify it, so
as,to inquire whether Mr. May did go to Richmond
all a political 'mission, with the knoWledge, con
sent, and authority of the Administration .
Mr. VALLANISICIBAIf, I did not say so. .
. . .
Mr. Porsvasa. I wish to know whether the Ad
ministration is tampering with the people, and
whether any negotiation : or' parley, or truce, ex
oept to bury the dead; 'A to be 'entertained until
every rebel has laid down his arms
Mr. Wasutinaria, of Illinois, repeated what he
Dad before satilnamely, that Mr. May had neither
the authority,nor the assent of the Administration
for going to Itiohmond.
Mr CALVIIIT, of Maryland, said be knew that
Mr. May went to iUohmond with no authority to
speak for the Government, but as a
,private indi
vidual The President. with this understanding,
not only granted Mr. Msy's rrquest, bat asked
General Scott to grant him a pasa, as a member of
Congress, to visit Richmond.
Mr KeLLOGG, of Illinois, briefly argued that
was just to both the Administration and. Mr May
that this subject should be investigated. Re want
ed to know whether, while large armies are being
relied, and soldiers in field putting down rebellion,
a secret correspondence or communieetion is going
on to settle matters by negotiation: He sias for
putting down rebellion and sustaining the Govern
ment.
Mr. Iticaeansort, of Illinois, stated on the au
thority of Dr. May, that Mr. May, when he reached
here, would be able to vindicate his °barmier from
all charges and suspicions. '
Mr. VeLtettniattest, on the Idainest4prineiples
