arraoAcu'of the pickets of the enemy
to the immediate vicinity of Washington indi
cates that the insurgents are disposed to again
threaten the Capital. But, meanwhile, our
army there is rapidly being organized, and
numerous reinforcements are hurrying on to
assist in its'defence.
, AN ILSOITING SCENIC occurred in the House
of Representatives yesterday, between. Wx.
A. RICHARDSON, of Illinois, and Mr. Boanzrr,
of Kentucky. Full particulars will be found
in onr telegraphic report of the proceedings.
Ws Ann not disposed to exaggerate the
great issues which >havo been forced upon ns
by the recent disaster to our arms in Virginia.
That we have met with a terrible reverse ; that
the largest army which ever marched tinder
our banner has been beaten ; that we have
been driven from our, advanced position in
Eastern Virginia, are facts which the people
must reluctantly admit and carefully consider.
The people of the South have gained the
greatest triumph of this revolution. If there
has been division before, there cannot be di
vision sow, for the sword which checked the
career of the Federal army, under the
brow of the Blue Ridge, will check any
attempt to maintain a loyalty to the Union
in the seceded States. The confidence
of the people of those States who have been
looking forward to a time when they could
gladly welcome the victorious armies of the
Republic btu; been sadly shaken. They may
have been Secessionists under protest before,
but they can be so no longer. The victory of
their troops will: consolidate the Southern
sentiment; fora rebellion, that is formidable
enough to win a great battle, within thirty
miles of the capital of the country its leaders
betrayed, will be strong enough to punish as
treason to its authority any exhihition of dia.
content within its own borders.
But this consideration, great as it may be,
is one of the very least which press themselves
upon the minds of the people. The great
task 'before the nation is to save the Capital
of the nation; for, in saving Washington,
we can retain a hope of saving the Union. It
is the political heart of the republic, and
when the blood flows sluggishly, or swells
into a high and rapid fever, we must look for
the effect upon the various extremities which
depend upon it for sustenance. ,it we lose
Washington we must look to a future terrible
to contemplate, and among the probabilities
at that future we must rank the recognition of
the Southern Confederacy ; the estrangement
of the Northwest ; the mere effigy of the
Union in the Eastern and Middle. States; a
republic on the north Mississippi, a republic
on the south Mississippi, a republic of New
England, and a republic on the Pacific coast.
The course of reasoning which leads us to
this conclusion is very plain. The capture of
Weeltington means the occupation of Mary.
land, the subjogation of Western Virginia, the
secession of ILeatucky, the thraldom of
Eastern Tennessee, and the triumph 01
treason In Missouri. The capture of Wash-.
ington will be the triumph of the theory
of self disintegration, and by showing to the
world that. the Central Government has
not the power to maintain itself, it
permits the constituent parts of that
Government to look only to their own selfish
interests. and to enter into any arrangement,
either politically, commercially, or socially,
which those interests may suggest. When
the corner.:stone is gone the - edifice mus
crumble. It will be no longer the Union of
thirty.four States for the sake of the Union,
but the Union of the Cotton States' for the
r.r.....ma-silitliVOlS-10
the sake of an inter-State slave trade; .of
the agricultural States for the' sake of
agriculture; of the mineral Stages for the
sake of a high tariff ; of the commercial
and mount - act' ring States for the sake of a
low tariff, and of the States of the Pacific for
the sake of the gold upon the shores of the
Pacific. Unless we have strength at the great
centre of our 'political system, the bodies com
posing that system must of necessity gravitate
from it. Unleis we are strong enough to
maintain the Republic as the Republic was
founded, we must submit to that common fate
of weak republics—a great despotism or a
confederation of mere petty tyrannies.
We think this is understood by the people of
the North, but it is well that they should un
derstand it In all Its aspects. The Southern
cannon are no longer in Charleston bay, but
on the sides of the Blue Ridge. Baal:u
lna/ID has brought his batteries from Carolina
to Virginia, and now literally menaces the
Heights of Arlington. In April, Washing
ton was in terror of a local rabble which
had collected from the counties of Fairfax,
Prince William, Londoun, and Jefferson. In
July, the danger comes from a large, well
disciplined, and a gallant army, flushed with
victory, commanded by able generals, and
representing every community in the South,
from the aristocratic planters of Virginia to
the uncouth foresters, who roam through the
woods of Texas. That, Washington can be
taken as easily as the town ,of Fairfax or
Centreville, we do not think; but it can be
taken, and Mr. Davis would consider it cheaply
bought at the cost of ten thousand lives. And
this Richmond dictator is not the man his
record has proved him to be if he does not
make the effort.
The Federal Government is on the defen.
sive. The capital must be defended, and
a hundred thousand men must be there before
another week rolls past. The people of the
North must come up to the work, and they
mast come with the sword. No more decla.
=salon; no more invective; no more specu
lation; no more idle sympathy for traitors;
no more halting between two opinions; no
more hankering after the fiesh•pota of com
promise; no more partisanship and treason.
able resolutions by party Conventions—we
must use the sword. It must be wielded by
no divided energies, but with one will and one
purpose. And then, baring placed the caps.
beyond all danger; having raised it high
above the shoals of treason, we may hope to
go forth again, armed with this tearful experi
ence, and 1113110115 to conclude the work of
asserting the integrity•of`the Union. •
Colonel Jame e C .moron.
This gallant officer, who died at the bead of
his regiment, the New York Seventy-ninth,
better known as the Caledonian or Cameron
regiment, on Sunday last, was born at May
town, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, and at
the time of his death was about sixty years of
age. When that fine corps reached Washing
ton they bad no Co'onel. Their ranks were
Ihll and their enthusiasm unbounded. Learn
ing that Colonel CamNaos was in town, they
offered him the command, which, atter some
hesitation, he accepted, and was duly commis
atoned by the President.
The Csusnois brothers have always been
conspicuous in the politica of Pennsylva
nia. Their parents were in straitened cir
cumstances, and JANE', the youngest of the
four brothers, was, like them, thrown early
ripen the world, and forced to take care of and
educate himself. The qualities that enabled
their widowed mother to look after her
children in yotith have strengthened them in
their many contests with the world. Of
the two surviving brothers the eldest is
Wiztun, one of the noted capitalists of the
State, resident in Union county, and the nest
iw years tbo present Secretary of WiLr.
J.uiss OximOil was married to the daugh
ter of Mr. Lirustss, of Lancaster, more than
twenty years ago. Always identified with the
rilitice of Pennsylvania from the year'lBB2,
was, like his brother Simon, the editor of
several leading newspapers. Botikwere riot
ers. lie also acted as the superintendent of
the Philadelphia and Columbia Rallroad,when
that Improvement was under State manage
ment. 00/0110/ Camases always belonged to
the Democratic) party until within recent
years, when his sympathies were enlisted on
the aide of the straight Douglas Demo
cracy of Pennsylvania, with whom he qt.-.
clently co-operated until the nomination rot
Mr. Lumens, whole election he warmly
supported. He was a man of singular unielf
isbnetts of character. His kindness and his
charity were hie prominent attributes. He
bad a charm in his manner that attracted a
stranger to him at once, and in all his life, it
may be truly said that he was never guilty of
a mean act. He "viii ever a favorite with the
Irish citizens of Pennsylvania, particularly
with those whe lived in and about the town of
Lancaster. Inheriting their social nature, and
proud of Ma connection with them, he was
never so happy as in their company ; and
born in an old German settlement, he may be
said to have been equally a favorite of the
Germans,. He. was highly courageous. What.
ever he might have lacked in other respects,
he made up by his natural, instinctive, and
daring intrepidity. More than twenty yeara
ago, in a contest with a newspaper editor In
the town of Lancaster, while attenipting to
enter his office, he was shot down, and his
conduct, in what threatened to be his death
bed, showed that he could meet:the dread de
stroyer without fear- After having been
elected Colonel of 'the Seventy-ninth, he
took up his quarters with the corps at.
Georgetown College, and soon secured
their confidence. His brother, the Secre
tary of War, took groat interest in the
regiment, and although averse to his ac
ceptance of the command, on account of his
age, did all in his power to , encourage him.
But the natural vigor and intrepidity of. Col.
GAMMON soon fitted him for the arduous - dn
ties of his new position- In the first engage
ment he exhibited great coolness and gal
lantry. The "effect of a passing cannon ball
threw his horse upon his haunches; when he
dismounted, and, with a joke, said, ci I think
I had batter be among the footmen." But, in
the bloody battle of Manassas, he exposed his
person, and cheered his men at all points.
A short time previous to his death, he
met a citizen of Lancaster, Colonel
Elzisrann, the editor of the Lancaster Lx
amines and Herald, and conversed with him
freely, assuring him that he intended to
lead his regiment and to come out of the fight
with honor, if his life should pay the forfeit.
He then disappeared; the order came from the
commanding General directing the Seventy
ninth to go "forward I" and in a short time
jAmse CAMERON was numbered among the de

by two balls, one in the stomach , and the other
in the head, immediately after he had called

WASHISOTON, July 240861,
It would be a rata folly to go back te the past
and to (mitre into the onuses of oar misfortune
near Manassas, on Sunday last, and those who allow
themselves to do so will gather • nothing from the
experiment. If we allow ourselves to quarrel over
these cams we shall bsoome an easy prey to an
excitant enemy. I have been astounded that oar.
taro of the New York journals, who assisted to
°roots and to keep up:a frenzied sentiment, and
compelled the advance upon the batteries of the
enemy before the proper time, should now demand
a change in the Administration, beoause it yielded
to their own appeals, and induced Gem Scott to alter
the plan of his campaign. A better feeling, lam
happy to say, prevails among the representatives
of the people, many of whom were carried away
by:the excitement which first began by declaring
. that General Scott was too slow, and too meny of
whom insisted upon giving advice to the officers of
the army. Many Representatives and Senators
now say that the only way sueuessfally to eonduct
and to oonclude this war is to repose undoubting
confidence in the veteran Lieutenant General.
They will not, I thirk, listen to the new exactions
of the Neir York newspapers. - When politicians
insist upon assuming the control of an army, they
always make mistakes Confidence in our military
leaders is a tat requisite; and submission to, these
leaders on the part of those not in the army will
undoubtedly be manifested hereafter.
As an evidence of the prescience of General
Scott, I need only recall the fact, that for many
weeks past, those most urgent for our advance
upon Virginia complained bitterly of his plan of
fortifying the heights near and around Wuhlza
A „,,„_.,
and yet we now find that this very precaution has
saved the capital from capture! •if his directing
genius had been left unfettered, there would have
been no rash advance upon Manassas, and there
fore no such catastrophe as we now mourn over.
A leading statesman, who called upon him some
days ago, and advised a speedy attack, was an
swered by the old man in these words: "I am
older than you, and your younger blood may be
right, bat my =starer judgment is against any
precipitate action " General Booth never was
more confident than he is at this moment. He
thinks that we have won's victory; all things oon
sidered, and if left to himself, will, I have no
doubt, so discipline and dispose of our force., as to
reflect new lustre upon his own name and upon
the flag of our country. Ocoaarosur..

WAMINGTON, July 24. 1861.
Yesterday was a busy, tumultuous, and . dlecor
dent day: The city is filled with soldiers; and
Pennsylvania Avenue never presented a more ex
citing mono than it has done Anne Monday
morning. Large bodies of traops are constantly
thronging every street, filling the corridors of the
hotels, standing at the corners, and forming in
little knots around curious listeners in the Capt
tol, the publio grounds, and the White House.
Energetic effarts are being constantly made to
organise the various regiments, and during , the
day messengers were riding around the olty en•
deavoring to collect the straggling members
of eaoh particular regiment. In many parte
of the city the soldiers are quartered, and the
°Moors are anxiously laboring to restore their men
to a state of efiloieney—taking care of the wound
ed and striving to hunt up the missing. It will be
a day or two before this work is ecoompliehed, as
the work of Resembling and arranging twenty
thousand weary soldiers IS a task of wonderfa/
magnitude. I have conversed with many of there
soldiers, and I ant glad to be able to say that
there Is In every breast a deep, bitter, Inexorable
sentiment of eagerness to return to the contort,
and to hurl back upon Richmond the treasonable
hordes of Davis, Johnston, and Beaurigard. The
announcement that General McClellan has been
appointed to take command has 'treated great
enthusiasm among our men. I have no fault
to Ind with General McDowell. Be is a brave
man ; he made a mistake: but the error of "a
soldier is the ruin of a soldier. General If..
Dowell, with the fate of !drumlin; on his memory.
can never command the oonfldence of the army;
The man for the hour seems to be our gallant
young townsman. Without disparaging any single
officer of this campaign, it must be admitted that
around the brow of George B. McClellan cluster
the greenest laurels of the war. He enters into the
sympathy of the hour ; his heart .beats honestly,
and warmly for the Union, and every impulse is
true to his native land I have faith in him. The
time is one of peril... The Oarthagenistui are before
menaced Rome, and may he be the Scipio Africa
nus of the limerfeen Republic'.
The dead march! Its slow, sad, solemn strains
wail through the air, and the prooessicn winds
around the broad Avenue at the foot of the hill to
the mournful martial music. It le a dreadful
thing to see on this glorious summer day, for it
brings up to us all the fearful memories of the bat
tie-field, its horrors, Iteunwritten woe, its unappre-.
elated, because ineffectual, bravery /t le ono of
the victims who fell on Sunday, a gallant private
of Ohio. The flag dragee his coffin, and beton ,
and behind the hearse his companions in arms
slowly pace. The trades of the battle are still upon
them, for they are jaded with excitement, travel
worn, and weary, and sad with the gloom of a great
grief.
I wish I could write you one-half the stories I
hear of the indomitable bravery of our troops
Every tongue has some great achiever/real to tell,
and every eye sparkles with the recolleotion of
deeds of daring. One incident comes to my mind
as a striking illustration of the temper of our men
While the Third Infantry of regulars were wider
a fearful fire, a South Carolina soldier was seen to
ride along the lines bearing a Palmetto flag, end
waving it insultingly and in defiance at our forces
One of the privates notieed the action, andquietly
remarking, " That flag has been there long
aeougb," deliberately raised his piece and brought
the audacious rebel to the dust.

the Third infantry as a lieutenant. Ia the early
part of the action he was wounded in thefoot, and
borne to an ambulanoe. But the spirit was atroag,
and although week milli the loss of blood, he left
the conveyance and endeavored to rejoin his oom
pan). On his way he fainted from exhaustion.
'sad it la supposed was left on the field, in the
tumult of retreat. One gallant fellow, Sergeant,
Morton, of the regulir service, distinguished him
self in the course of an infantry charge. The men
were proceeding rip a declivity, on doubleAtiok
time, to take a battery. The sergeant rushed:-opt

the battery was taken

that if the ratite have gained victory, that
victory has been a barren one, and so, com
pletely. have their forces been . demoralised
and decimated by the splendid, though in.
antes valor of our soldiers; - that they
were unable to follow up their triumph, and
realize its advantages. It was' at drat thought
that the main body of 'their , reserve army had
moved down in the rear of our retreating column,
ocettpying Centreville - and Fairfax, and all
yesterday and theday before' the most vivid' t ap
pretensions were enterfained for the safety' of the,
city. It was, rutiored.thatßiairigard hadtaken
Fairfax, and that, as soon , as his array had rested,
he would move at once upon Arlington
nace the capital. - That apprehension, indeed, has
not entirelypassed away, and many an anxious:

is the great question whioh agitates Washington.

no idea, on entering the field, that they entered to

right' or wrong. I have not listened to the reading

It was yours. Union you rally around him, the

with the General-In chief in political opinion.
When 'he was a eandidato' for' the Prosideney I

when you look at him as a Eallitary,,mtui. he is the

It you had not forced him to preetpitate this ea

lighting a battle
Mr Quarts. I ask the gentleman who, on thi 4
side,
have souaht to impeach the character of Gen.
Boott, and are unwilling to march under his ban
ner?, We do not hope to snooeed without Gen.
Scott, who never lost a battle
Mr. RICIFARDSOR -Gen. Greeley, who, I think,
is the ablest at the head of all the generals,should
be appointed by President Drum an d to
Richmond to take it. He would soon gat it
Lau g hter J This is my opinion I charge nothing
tor It I have met my friend from lowa (Mr. Cur
tis) on the plains of Mexico. He Is a military
men, and has seen the strategy of General Scott.
* I
should be amazed if I heard him question what
General Scott has done. I do not Inalade all
the Republicans, but you have forced a bat
tle, . and because you did so, it is lost. I de.
olsre before God, •as my solemn conviction, that if
such things are permitted you will destrey this
Government, and I further dealer* that If General
Scott cannot fight the bettlai nobody else can. As
to the bill before the House, there is an erroneous
idea in relation to the dignity and importance of
the States The call on a State for trriops le a
mere courtesy. In my judgment the President
Ina a right to call for t , oops anywhere, even in
mantles. There is no such thing as a State's so
vereigoty against the General Government. How
can the Government be preserved .unless he has
priwer, to °all out troops! The Federal Govern.
ment, for general protective purposes, is supreme.
It could defend the capital and the soli everywhere.
Mr &sin, of 'Missouri. I desire to say a few
words. Generals Butler, Patterson, and Cladwala
der, were from the Ilreokinridge - party. ' That two
of these gentlemen • were appointed by the Ad
ministraticn I believe to be cornet; but General
Butler came • hither as a Brigadier General It
was Massachusetts who. first oonferred•Outt honor
upon him, and be was made a Major General for
patting down a mob, and for the executive ability
which he dtsplayed I understood that' General
Patteison was appointed by the advice and on the
recommendation of General Scott.
Mr. RICHARDSON I said that four generals
were apprinted from the Breokinridge, but none
from the Dinglas party ; but I have no complaint.
Mr BrAtit. Of all the Douglas - men' who are
Oltialifted for such a command, 1 have no doubt the
gentleman is the drat and beet.
Mr. RICHARDSON (bowing) lam very much
obliged to you.
Mr. Bumf'. The gentleman said that General
Scott had been driven to risk a battle by the gen-.
tienten on this side, but nothing hart been said
here derogatory to that soldier. Is the Mejor
General fit to command, if he can be forced to bat
tle against his own beat jodgroent and at the out
cry of outsiders? Nobody on' this Ede has said
aught against General Scott. The charge came
from the gentleman from Illinois, and it was de
rriglitory in the highest degree
Mr. Iticitaanson. I take it all back (Laugh

Mt- RICISAII.DSON. I repeat that Gen Scott had
been forced fight this battle. will tell him
what occurred yesterday morning. My cot
leagues, Messrs Logan and Wasnburne, and
myself. were preseat with' the President, Secre
tary of Was, and General Scott.- In the course
of conversation, General Scott' remarked, " I am
the.biggest coward in the world " I rose from my
mat. " Stay," said the General, " I I'lll'pr:ire it.
I have fought the battle against my judgment,
and I thins the President ought to remove
me to-day for doing it. As God is my judge," be
added, after an interval of silence, "I did all in
my power to make the army efficient I de
serve removal because I did riot stand up _when
leoald and did -not." I stand here to vindloate.
General Scott. I am Indebted to the gentleman
from Missouri for the oompliatentAhe paid me .
I desire to say for myself, I am here, the last of
a generation, my father and grandfather having
fallen beneath Abe flag of their country. I; too
have fought under its folds at home and abroad!,

Mr. Baows, of -Rhode Island, moved as an

Mr. CONKLIN, of New York, moved, as an amend

with advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint

nors of the States .
Mr Lovsstor, of Illinois, proposed that the tax
be levied equitably on all real and personal pro
perty, in all the States, in the same manner and
proportion as the State tax.
Mr- A WILILY, of Ohio, propoeed a similar amend

Mr. ROSOON CONILTN. , Of blew York,,moved that

vide that the tax on real and personal estate; pro
vided for therein, be levied, assessed, and collected
la the several States and Territories. and District
of Columbia, in the same manner as the State and
Territorial tax are by local law collected there
Mr. CoLres of Indiana, moved to amend Mr.
Conklin's instruotione, by striking ant that part of
the bill relative to the thirty millions direct taxes
- apportioned amongst the btates, and to provide in
its stead taxes on stocks, bonds, and mortgages,
money at interest, and incomes He said that hie
motion left untouched the recommendations of the
committee as to taxes on whisky stills, watches,
carriages, notes, and bank bills, and that, thus
amended, the bill might raise twenty millions of
dollars. This was all ho thought necessary .new,
but if, when we. meet again, four months hence,
direct tales on land are necessary, it will be time
enough then to levy it If the rebellisin continues
be was willing that every dollar he owned ihould I

In the course of the debate, Kr. BTIII7IIIII said
