The Preparations for the Conflict. It has been tbe late of many great nations to meet with very serious reverses at the com mencement of thoir wars, even when battling against inferior powers. A lew disasters, and even humiliating defeats, often prove trying ordoals which are necessary preliminaries of final triumph. The allied armies of France, England, and Sardinia, found it a much more difficult task to drive the Russians from their stronghold at Sebastopol than they had anti cipated, and they met with many unexpected repulses before the campaign was closed. Onr last war with Great Britain commenced with • long series of disasters which almost dis heartened the. whole country, and it was the brilliant triumphs won where they were least expected, on sea, which first revived onr drooping spirts. The French Republic of the last century commenced its long war against the European monarchists by losing several important battles, and it was not until the martial spirit of the country was fully aroused that it was enabled to defy the whole conti nent. The loss of a single field at the begin ning of a campaign may sometimes over throw a combatant who is comparatively weak and feeble, but it only prove i to a spirited country, conscious of its superior strength and the justice of its cause, an incentive to redoubled exertions. This is evidently the effect the disaster at Manassas Junction is now having upon the faithful citi eens of the United States. We have learned at once the strength of the enemy and the de fects in onr own military arrangements and organization. They are being completely re medied as rapidly as possible. While the strength of onr army is being increased, its discipline is improved, the best military talent we can obtain is seenred, and onr ablest offi cers entrusted with high commands. Our snp ply of efficient artillery is being increased to an extent which will render the loss of the pieces that fell into the hands ot the insur gents, at Manassaß, of little importance. A new spirit pervades all onr military operations. Without suffering a reverse decided enongh to inflict any vital injury upon ns, our losses have been sufficiently serious to awaken all minds to the stem realities of the war in which we are engaged, to teach statesmen, soldiers, and citizens that fighting, haTd fight ing, and perhaps no little of it, must he ex pected, and that if we desire to emerge from the contest victorious, we mnst put forth all onr energies, summon up all enr resolution, evoke all onr patriotism and valor, and spare no pains to overthrow the arrogant foes whe seek to ruin the Repnbtic forever. It Is impossible for any one to contrast the resources of the loyal and disloyal portions of onr country without feeling that we can only be unsuccessful in this contest through onr own neglect, snpineness, or want of fidelity to onr glorious canse. The men, the money, the physical resources—everything that a great commander could desire, exist among ns to a sufficient extent to far outweigh all the capaci ties of resistance which the insurgents pos sess. We command their whole seaboard, and they can only occasionally gain, by stealth, an outlet to the ocean. We have a greatly superior population, and, in case of necessity, can enlist, eqnip, and maintain in the field from four to five times as many sol diers as the Secessionists. War is, te a great extent, an exact science. Many accidents, it is true, influence important results, bnt a given force, properly applied, will necessarily overcame a specific amount of resistance, and if it is not in the power of the loyal States of thiß Union to overcome the disloyal portions of it, all the rales which have heretofore con trolled the military operations ef mankind have been reversed for their special benefit. It is quite possible, however, for the power of numbers and superior resources in a nation to be greatly weakened and neutralized in a military sense. If the conspirators summon all the available resources of the South to their aid, take without. substantial compensation ail the property they desire, and make every man they need join their ranks, whether he wishes to do so or not, while we embark hut a small portion of our energies in the conflict, we cannot expect to succeed. (Jur superior strength will prove of no practical advantage, if it is not exerted. If they contend with fonr times as much zeal, energy, and. determination for the destruction of our Government oswe do for its preservation, they may prove victo rions. Bat if we continue to prosecute the war in the vigorous, patriotic, and determined spirit which is now being manifested; if the reforms and improvements which experience has shown to be necessary are adopted, and the American people firmly maintain their noble attitude of unyielding devotion to the national cause, Secession will inevitably be crushed out, and the Union he re-established on a firm and indestructible foundation. Death of Bishop Bowman. By a telegraphic despatch lrom Lancaster, we are pained to learn that the Bight Rev. Samfee, Bo wma», Assistant Bishop of the Pro testant Episcopal Church of the Diocese of Pennsylvania, died suddenly on Saturday, while on a trip from Pittsburg to Butler, in this State. In the death of Bishop Bowman the Episcopal Church has lost a shining light, and the community a good citizen. Beloved in the social circle and honored in the Church, his loss will be deeply felt. Ab will be seen by a notice in another column, the funeral will take place on Tuesday afternoon, from St. James’ Chnrch, Lancaster. In the Senate, Saturday, Mr. Kenned; presented a 'memorial from the Maryland Legislature in regard to the action of the National Government in making arrests on suspicion of treason in that State. Before the reading was finished, a warm debate occurred ; but finally it was ordered to be printed. A resolution to pay volunteers once a month, when practicable, was adopted. The bill to increase the Engineer Corps was passed ; also the bill supplementary to the act to protect commerce and pnnish piracy; also the bill relative to the District Attorney lor Sonthem New York. The House on Saturday passed, with a slight amendment, the Confiscation Bill. The amend ment was, that slaves in the military or naval service, or working in the entrenchments of the rebels, will be confiscated. The bill au thorizing the President to dismiss incompetent army officers gave rise to some debate, but on motion of Mr. Hutchins, the hill was tabled. A resolution offered by Mr. Coskuhg, « re questing the President to communicate to the House all the correspondence between James E. Harvky and any of the Heads of the De partments, in any way relative to the charges against Mr. Habvb;, growing ent of the sei zure by the Government of despatches to and from the said Harvey, and any other infor mation in connection with the subject,” was also passed. TVt Knoxville (Tenn) Register, a Secession sheet, of the 31st ultimo,, says that « There is no doubt that treachery was practised on the Manassas Gap Railroad, to prevent the junc tion of the forces of Johnston and Beaure gard, and that the train-conductor had been shot, having acknowledged to receiving a bribe to defeat the project from Union offi cers.” laTEaSsnao intei<ligknos from General Banks’ command will be found in our tolegra. phic columns; also, late news by telegraph oi the doings of the rebels on the Mississippi. Wb have important Intelligence from Mis souri, by telegraph, to the efiect that Brigadier General Hurlbut has been detached from his command for the purpose of selecting a oamp ing ground, near Jefferson City, f° r thirty thousand men, to he commanded by Gen. Fops. Gen. Pope has been assigned to the command of all the troops north of St. Lonis, and has established his headquarters tempo rarily in that city. The troops will consist principally of the Illinois regiments, and form one grand arm ef the Western army, who will be ready, « after thorough drilling and vigor ous discipline in camp, for an advance move ment through Arkansas and Texas towards New Orleans, so sobn as the excessive hot Weather abates sufficiently to warrant the health of the troops in that climate.” Gen. Pope has also designed to permit no more scooting. WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE ffQm “ Occasional ” [Correspondence of The Press.] Washington, Aug- 4, 1861 It is difficult to understand the Interest which attaohed to the meeting of the preasnt Congress. It assembled amid the hopes and fears of the country, and in tba result of its deliberations the Country may MS how many hopes have been dis pelled and fears realised Sines the Fourth of July we have seen tho deadliest Wow aimed at free institutions, and the prinoiples taught in the Declaration of Independence have felt a fearful, and, as tha enemies of those prinoiples had hoped, a fatal shook. Treason has been unmasked, and constitutional liberty has writhed under its fangs. The threats, of thirty years hava been fulfilled, and those who have been menacing ns with angry rhetorio, now menaee ns with tho sword. The world looks upon our straggle with tho deepest intensity, end there is an anxious and gloomy feeling in antioipation of tho effeet of our late re verse upon our relations with the kindred Powers of the world. On Tuesday the session of this Congress oloses, and tho members go down to the country, where there is an impending future suoh as the nation novor looked upon. I sometimes speouiate upon what the interregnum may develop, and especially whan I refleot upon the oonrse of some of the mem bers of the present Congress. Many of them have been antagonizing the Administration and unbar passing its measures for crashing the rebellion. In doing this they have of oo«m bravsd the honest indignation of a great people. They go back to infuriated constituencies in New York, Ohio, Ken tucky, and the other States thus represented In a confliot between a people and a peopie’e repre sentative there can only be one result—there oan only be personal infamy and political rain. Of those who go home, in all probability many will never return. Among these men, none have been more persist ent and able than the Senator from Kentucky, John C Breckinridge. His history haß been a most remarkable one, and only snob as we see in democratic institutions. He came into Congress in 1851, and daring his earner he has enjoyed a good fortune, suoh as has fallen to the lot of very few men. During ten yean he has bean four years in the House, four yean in the Vioe Presidential -hair, a favored candidate for the first offise of the Republic, and a Senator in the seat of John J. Crittenden. Heoame into Congress with an emi nent ancestral record —his family has been ane of the most celebrated in the history of the nation; and einea the foundation of the Repub lio, no name has been more honored in the pulpit, the forum, and the Senate, than the name of Breckinridge. The record of his family has been eminently conservative, and snoh as oommended it to the respect of the whole nation They have been known as the representatives of the emansi pation sentiment in the border States, and the fea sibility of snoh a scheme has been a part of the political oreed of the ex Vice President. Until his late allianoe with the disoiples of John C. Calhonn he was always supposed to favor the plan of a gra dual extinction of slavery in his State of Kentucky Bnt Mr. Breckinridge is to day the leader of the Secessionists in tha Senate, and the month-piece of tho Disunion sentiment in Congress. I em con strained, in justice, to say that he has never ap peared to better advantage than daring this extra session. Ho never looked better; he never spoke better. His hearing has been bold and defiant; bis attendance at the Senate extremely regular; he takes part in nearly every debate, arid mani fests the deepest possible interest in the merest details of Parliamentary practice and the routine business of the oommlttees. And yet in every debate he seems to he ani mated by no other motive than a Battled de termination to interrupt the natural coarse ef necessary legislation. Anxious to distinguish him self for oonrtesy and good breeding, he has on ovary occasion taken pains to threaten and oom mand. He threatened the Senate, in distinot terms, with the Bpprosoh ot the Confederate army, and en Saturday, when the Senate was endeavor ing to legislate an obnoxious Bisunionist oat of his office, as United States judge, in Kentucky, he plainly told the members, in an angry and impas sioned manner, that if they attempted to perform this patriotio duty the Congross would have to pro long its sessions. The young Kontuokian is obo of tho most at tractive members of the Senate He is well dressed, with a most commanding appearance, ex ceedingly senatorial, and the model of respectful bearing. Throughout this Congress he has dis played a courage which I did not believe he ever possessed. It must be reoolleoted that he is an tagonising the sentiments of the oountry; that he has thrown his oase before the people of Kentuoky, and that he ean only expeet to be defeated by an overwhelming majority. He has said that if the voice of the people of his own State is against him be will resign his seat. He is a man of his word, and wo never more may see, in the oounoils of the nation, John C. Breokinridge. Where will he go ? Ail that he hss done, and is doing, against the Union must forever debar Urn from enjoying the oonfidenae of the people of the loyal States. I am told his eldest son has run away from homo, and is in the army of Davis. May not the young bird who has flown the parental nest be the avant courier of the parent? Wbere ejso can the father go hot in the path of his erring son? What might the Senator not have been, had he remained true to the national Democratic party, to the inspiration of his great name, to the patri otic feeling whioh must have grown with him bb a Krntookian! What a future he had before him! In the North his name was mentioned with respeot, in the South with positive affeotion. In Pemnyl vania and other Northern States there were thou sands who looked op to him as their political idol. He had more positive personal strength in the Demooratio party than any other loader of that party, with the exoeptlon of the lamented Douglas He was a yonng man, with all the enthusiasm, gallantry, and buoyancy of youth, and he was deep in the sympathy and affection of his own immediate gene ration. Fortune made him her especial favorite, heaping upon him every aooomplishmont and every quality but patience. No one oould have better afforded to wait. The future was full of promise, and the promise was ooming to him had ho been oontented to bide his time. Bat his ambition was too strong; he vaulted too soen and too high; ororioapt himself, and now he falls upon the other side. The Presidency was his dream. He gloated npon it until it beoame more than a dream, and was a frenzy. The conspi rators knew his parts, his popularity and his weakness, and in an evil hour he boeame drunk with their flattery. He gave them his name and his position—everything he had, and all he eonld hope for—and he was at last their minion. He was the instrument of their revenge npon Douglas; ho was their tool in their designs upon Kentuoky; and he is to-day in the Bcnate with abilities sadly misapplied, and a courage worthy of a better oause; he is their apologist, and thoir de fender, their representative, their true and trusty friend. He has served their purpose, and goes home to meet an insulted people. He goes home, perhaps, never to return. And so, farewell to John C. Breokinridge 1 Of all the men who have sinned, none I regret more siueerely, and of none I write with more sorrow. His oareer has been brief, brilliant, and—must I say it ?—infamous. From a high plaoe in the Union, he oan 6nly have a future in the oounsels of its meanest and most malignant foes. Let his story be written upon the page of history, for it teaohes a great lesson. And the great lesson is, that whan the Ambition of Intellect and Fortune seeks to rise, by treachery and wrong, it oan only meet the fate whioh has always befallen the traitor. Occasions!.

Yesterday, Prinoe Napoleon, esoorted by Secre tary Seward, visited both Houses of Congress He was introduced to a number of Senators, with some of whom he entered freely into conversation.

General McClellan has already effeoted a tho rough obasge in the oily. Previous to his arrival, aud especially since the battle At Ball Run, the city was filled with officers and soldiers, who were ebsent without leave from their encampments. A patrol was appointed, with power to arrest, and place in the guard-house, every offioor and private found without a permit. The city was divided into patrol districts, and a squad of from tan to twenty soldiers, under a lieutenant, assigned to eaoh district. They marched round upon the side walks, and all privates found without a permit were sent to the guard-house. Having disposed of the privates, and returned them all to their regi ments, the patrol paid their attention to officers. Many were found without the necessary paper, and among them a number «f osvalry officers and mounted infantry officers, who were obliged to re linquish their chargers, and march to the guards house. Major General Butler Arrested f Among the arrests made on the Avenne, last evening, by the provost patrol, was that of Major General Butler, who had within a few hours ar rived from Fortress Monroe. Tbe General had no permit to produce, and was held nntil he was satis faotorily identified. Ho expressed himself in strong terms in favor of this system of military pollee. Congress.

A noble effort has been made by Miss Drx, and a few friends, to obtain acooss to our wounded soldiers; or, failing in that, to proonre informa tion concerning their eondition Two prominent and resolute ladies started on Friday, in a oarriage, for Manassas and Riohmond. They were accompanied beyond the lines by Miss Dix, and then committed to Providence They de clined a flag of truce, trusting rather to the merits of the mission in which they were engaged, and resolved, if possible, to make their way to the wounded at Manarsis and Riohmond. At a late hour last evening, Miss Dix had not reoeived intelligence from her angels of meroy, but had no apprehension as to their Bafety. An Act. Passed Yesterday, to Provide increased Revenue.

How News is sent South. All the news reoeived at Louisville, Ky., is re vised and rewritten by the agent of the Sin them Associated Press, and he is compelled to make it suit Southern market readers This will aeoonnt for the information that 32 000 handouffs ware captured at Bull Run, with whioh it was expeoted to manaele the Confederate prisoners, and also that 22 000 stand of arm. had been taken firem our fores*. The Senate has confirmed numerous army ap pointments. Among them are Major Generals McClellan, Frbhont, Dix, and Banks ; and Brl gadier Generals Hookeb, Curtis, MoCall, Sana ■an, Lander, Khllt, Kearney, Pope, Hsiht zeluan, Poster, Stoeb, Remolds, Hunter, Franklin, Rosencranz, Buell, Makbfibld, McDowell, and Meigs. Emort has been nomi nated by thereoommendation, it is said, of all the Maryland delegation, exoepting Mr. Mat. The appointments for the eleven new army regiments are to be considered by the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, to whioh they ware referred, on Monday. Three women were taken prisoners, yesterday, by Beoesaion oavalry, within a mile of Cloud's Mills. One of them is represented to beJaNNr Cubtis, of New York, and it islaid tha other two were from Washington, and pretended to be friends of tbe rebels. A private of one of the New York regiments was oaptorai by tha same foroe. A person who has just arrived from Richmond declares that the labels were astonished by the valor of onr troops at Stone Bridge, and that it is net improbable that Jeff. Davis will soon make propositions to our Government for an armistice. Messrs. Gorman, Applegate, and Sterling left Washington on Thursday with a flag of truce, bearing a eommunioatioß from the Secretary of War, having for Us objeot tbe recovery of the body of his brother, Colonel Oambron. They yesterday returned without success, owing it appears to the communication baling b MD addressed “To whom it may oonoern,” and not to soma particular pro minent officer in the Confederate army. This objection removed, there is no donbt the body oan be reoovered, as tha plaoe of interment is marked, and every facility promised to accom plish that purpose. The gentlemen carrying the flag speak in high terms of the oonrteons and kind manner in whioh they were treated by Col. Btaw art, commanding the First Virginia Regiment,and the other officers within the field ef his operations. They, howovor, woro not permitted to approach directly to Fairfax Court House. Whatever they may have seen of interest in that neighborhood they have the prndenoe to eonoeal, having gone thithp; on an errand of meroy, and not for recon noitring purposes. The members of Congress hare been paid their last month’s salary with $5O in gold and $250 in two years’ six per centum treasury notes. The employees of the other departments of tbe Govern ment ore hereafter to he paid in the same descrip tion of papsi. One of the communications recently sent hither, under a flag of truee, from General -Johnson, was, it is understood, in relation to a report which had reaohed Ike Confederates that soma of their prise ners had been hnng by order of onr military au thorities. As no suoh exeontions have taken plaoe, it may certainly be inferred that Gen. McDowell .replied in accordance with this fact. The steamer Yanice arrived at the navy yard this afternoon, for repairs.

It was ascertained yesterday, however, through an es oaped contraband, that through him or his agen oy information was frequently transmitted to the rebel army, regarding the strength of onr foroes and their position. He was accordingly rearrested last night. A gentleman connected with this division was at the Ford yesterday, thirty two miles below here, and reports that he witnessed there the interest ing speotaole of a Federal and rebel picket meet ing midway in the river. They exchanged a Baltimore Hun for a Riohmond Enquirer, and. after taking a friendly drink together, exchanged canteens. The rebel piofeet stated that then were bat fonr regiments at Leesburg, and these war* raw militia nndergoing drill and discipline H* also stated that there were no large bodies of rebe troops north of that point or east of the Alleghe nies. This, however, is in part discredited. Some of the rebel eoonts were seen about a mile and a half from Bolivar yesterday, and it is re ported that a mill belonging to n well known Unionist was burnt by them, about six miles above Harper’s Ferry, on Thursday night. A visit to many of the oamps yesterday gave a gratifying idea of the good order, eleenliness, and strict military discipline that prevail among them Most of the hospital oases are oonfined to diarrbepa and dysentery, none of which are of a serious na ture.

It was blow ing a gale and the sea was running high. We gave obese for three or four hours, when, appa rently, te avoid being oaptured, she ran over the shoals, and went high and dry on the beaoh. The sea running so high, ipaite a complete breach over her. She was a full-rigged brig, of about two hundred tons Hep eonduot was most singular throughout the obase. She was out of gun range, or she might have got a ten-inoh shell into her. She showed no colors, which Is still more strange We attempted to get near enough to ascertain her true eharaoter, bat a dan gerous bar kept us away. The country around Is uninhabitable. Tbe sand bank is fifteen miles north of Cape Hatteras, and so rough that it is im possible -o land. We think she may be the priva teer Jeff Davit, or some vessel oaptured by her, making for some inlet on the ooast of North Caro lina.” Tbe Steamer Norwegian Ashore and Afloat. Mortbbal.

Mr. Tbuhbull said he agreed with the Senator from New Hampshire He would hold to the saored right of petition He believed the Conati tutien intended everybody to have tbe right of pe tition They may be ever so muoh mistaken in what they believe, and they have a right to be Spiteful- He did not Sappoia the Legislature had any design to inanlt tha Senate. Mr. Bayabd, of Delaware, said he eonld sea no intention to insult the Senate, and thought the memorial of any State should be received. Mr. Wilkihboh withdrew the objeqciom to its reception, bnt objsoted to tbe printing of tbe me morial. Mr. Pbabcb said it was not nefjssary that the paper should be signed by the Governor of Mary land. Jt was pot tbe intention to insnlt the Senate In faot, the insnlt was the other way. It wm an intuit to a Slate to refute to receive its memorial, and the Government could not continue finch insults without creating disunion. Mr. Fxssxmbx, of Maine, thought It would he better to print tbe memorial. He remembered many memorials that had been Bout here, which he considered disrespectful to. the majority, but none of them were refused to be printed. If the Legislature of Maryland haa done wrong, the ceu sequence is their own He thought the wisest and best way wonld be to receive and print the me morial. The memorial was ordered to be printed. Mr Wi&iog, vf Messaebnsottßi from the Military Committee, reported back tbe bill to pey volun teers monthly, with the reoommendauon that it should not pass.

Mr Tbobbdll. of I iinois, reported, from .the Committee on the Judiciary, a bill relative to the judicial distrio * of Missouri and Kentucky, with a motion to postpone it till next December, whioh led to a long discus-ion ia regard ro the loyalty of Judge Monroe, of Kentucky, by Messrs Lano, of Indians, Powell, Baker. Breckinridge, McDouguU, Polk, Harris, and others After a long executive session, the Sonata ad journed. HOUSE Mr Blaik, of Missouri, from the Committee on Military Affairs, reported a bill to increase theeffi clency of the topographical engineer corps, whioh f used. It empowers the President to add to tha corps two lientenant ooionals and four majors, and one company of soldiers, to be commanded by competent officers Mr. Own. of New York, from the Committee os Military Affairs, reported baok the bill to promote the efficiency of the volunteer force, by anthori s'ng the President to discharge from service any commissioned volunteer officer, far inoapaeity, in tffioienay, misconduct or negkot of duty. The committee report a substitute, to apply the princi ples of tbe biil to officers of the regular army as well as to those of volunteers, the dismissals to take plaoe without instituting a board ot inquiry or court marital. Mr Quit raid be knew that ibis was an arbi trary power, but In the present emergency he was wiling to trust its exerelse to the Commander-in- Chief Mr ValJiAHDlghah, of Ohio, suggested that so mueh i f tbe subs-irate as proposed to Bffeot volun teer officers be strioken out It was extraordi nary, ooi. sidering that suohoffioers were appointed by State authority, under a constitutional w«r§B*, and besides Is was arbitrary to dismiss officers with out inquiry. Mr Olin remarked that it was evident, from re cent events, that it would be wise to repOße such power s >mewbeie. Mr Burnett, of Kentucky, contended that tbe power proposed to be eouterred on the President WSB olearly unconstitutional This measure was in keeping with the legislation ot this Congress He was certainly opposed to giving the President the power to remove tbe ormmiisioned offioers of volunteers merely at his will and pleasure. Mr. Our Said, in reply, that if, as Mr- Burnett had admitted, an officer appointed by State autho rity could be removed bv a oourt of inquiry or court-martial, wby ootid not another moae be adopted to effect the same object, there being ne other constitutional means designated? These are extraordinary times and demand vigor and promptness He was not surprised at the remarks of tho gentleman bom Kentucky, [Hr Barnett,J who was known to bo a warm sympathiser with those who were striving to overthrow the Govern ment He wonld ratherihear a dissertation on the sanotlty of the Constitution from some ether source. Mr. Braun* said he was itntok with one re niaikablo thing during the present session of Con gress. Whenever he made whet he regerded as a plain statement, apd gave the reasons whioh actu ated him, instead of gentlemen meeting his argu meats, they made personal allusions to his want of loyalty. He oould not appreciate that mode of reply. He would tell the gentleman from New York, and ail others who Indulged in that speeieß of rhetorio, fearlessly and boldly, that be would discharge what he believed to be his duty, without consulting any member of this Honse. On tbe question of loyalty, his record and that of the gentleman Is made up in this House, and he believed his would bear a favorable comparison with that gentleman's And when impartial history shall determine who is tbe most responsible for the present uofortnnate condition of the country, poste rity will deoide that the gentleman from New Yoik has done more to bring it about than he (Burnett) had He had struggled hare to prevent tbis condition of affairs. If his warning voice, with that ei others who aoted with him. oould have reached the gentleman and his Republican friends, we should now be united as one family; instead of war, we shoald have peaoe. As to his sympathy with the Sonih, he wished to say that, as long as his State remained under the Constitu tion, he recognised bis obligation to the Federal Government. He bed taken an oath to support tbe Constitution If the gentleman wanted to know whether he sympathised with those among whom be was born, and who regard tbe war as having been foiaed on them, ana who would make peace to morrow, he answered in the affirmative, and they oonld make the most of it. Mr. Olin replied that he had laid nothing perso nal. He should be entirely eontent to let im partial history show who is responsible for this war. Bnt when the gentleman from Kentucky undertook to defend himself from the charge of disloyalty, it were better he should withdraw from tbe records what he bad arid here daring this set eion The gentleman has repeatedly remarked that he held h mself bound by the action of hil own State, rather then by the Constitution and the iaws made in pnrsnanoe ot it. Mr- Bvbbxtt replied <hat ha wanted to put the gentleman right The Federal Government is one of limited powers, under e written Constitution, aoting within the limits conferred by the States. It is sovereign to that extent—no more. So long as it is kept within the scope of theca conferred powers be owed it allegiacoe. But the Constitu tion is suspended by a tasatloal majority, who do bpt observe it, When Kentucky speaks, by her action bo will stand. Mr Olin replied. Tbe gentiemrn avoids the issue, and standi ready, when a pretended ms jo rlty oi his own State obeose to set the Constitution and laws at defiance, to go with them. Mr Burkett wished to respond, but objections weie mate on the Republican side Mr Oust moved the previous question, under the operation of whioh the snh-titn e was njeetec, by a vote i f 18 jeaß, against fll nays And tbp bill was, on motion of Mr. Hptobins, laid on the table.

I Correspondence of the N> w York Evening Post ] Fhinoxton, ill., July 29 180], A serious oaiaimiji snon as has never visited this neighborhood before, (at least not In the last thirty years) oame upon us on Saturday last, about four o’olock in tbe afternoon, in tne shape of a storm of wind, bail, and rain. The event same so suddenly and unexpectedly that few were prepared for it, it, indeed, any pre paration would have availed to avert Us xon st-quenots, The Moud gathered almost directly over us, bb the blue sky oonld be seen beneath it to the west only a few mirntes before it bnrsl upon u«. The hailstones wore not vary nume rous, bnt were of considerable sizs, and were driven with great foroe by the wind, break ing a large amount of glass on the north sides of the buildings, as the direotion of the Btoim was almost dlreotly from the nonh. But the priaoipal cause of the misohief was the wind, whioh blew with great violenoe for seme twenty or thirty minutes, carrying destruction in its path. Tbe oxtreme violenoe ot the storm seams to have begun ab- ut a mile north of our village, and at that place was not more than half a mile in width, but seems to have widened in its progress to a width of two mUee, and spent its main force in a course of about three or lour miles Over this space the destruction of property is great. Many buildings wera unrooted, gables asd win dows blown tn, houses deluged with water, chim neys blown down, and several houses literally swept Iron, their futiadatiuzis and tori, in fragments. Of these some three instances ooenrted in the village, two of them quite respeoiable in size and ap pearanoe Ron and ohimneys, some of them tin roofs of great weight, were whirled throngh tbe air, and oanied by the wind many rods, and dished with great force to tha earth. The most remarkable oironmatance is, that in all this tumult and destination no one was hurt As all tbe houses destroyed had several Inmates, it is truly wonder ful that they all escaped injury. But all these in juries a few days or weeks at farthest will repair. The greatest and most permanent lobs is in the destruction of fruit and shade trees. The shade trees, in oons-qaenoo of the cool moist weather of the season, were loaded with an nnusnally heavy mass of foliage, and most of tho fruit tiaes, espe cially the apple, were heavily loaded with fruit, which rendered them more exposed to tbe ravages of the wind The shade trees throughout our vil lage are ragged and torn, with limbs broken, and very many of them have their tops entirely twisted off. Fruit trees of all sizes are broken iff and ruin ed or twisted and split in suoh a way as to bo near ly worthless. Btveral persois who have consider able orobards have told me that at least one-half of their trees are entirely destroyed Hay and grain Siaoks and standing wheat are all badly injured, while the Indian oorn is laid nearly prostrate, and tha leaves Whipped to strings, and in some oases the stalks are stripped olean of foliage; whether oorn in this condition will produce a orop is more than I kntw. The leaves I suppose have an im portant office in the production and maturity of the ear, and this boing tbe Ouse I do not see how a good orop can be had without them. My own judgment is that within the range of this tornado the crop of Indian corn will be lessened one-third, if not one-hall, by its effects. I have about seventy sotss of wheat uncut, and over one hundred aores of oorn on my farm hers, and my orchard crop will be reduced at least one half, bjr the destruction of the trees and blowing off of apples It may all turn out better than it now appears The first estimates of loss In them cases are usually the highest. The kindly force of nuture may yet do much to rastore the Indian oorn, and of applea the orop is so abundant that the loss for this year may not be great, but the de stroyed trees it will take years to ioplaoe.
