young man electrified tho cities and towns of
Western Pennsylvania by his peculiir and
.irresistible eloquence. He was more boy
than man. His fine face and laughing eye;
his well-knit and handsome figure; his win.
ning voice and his “ mother wit,” made « Saji
Black” the wonder of more than one exciting
campaign. The son of.a Presbyterian clergy
man, whowas an object of veneration tnd love
in thousands of hearts, and whose life had
been , one prayer,- and sacrifice, and. thanks
giving to God, Saji inherited a fervent reli
gious, sentiment, and frequently punctuated;
his political appeals and legal arguments with
Bible points and periods. And how.be loved
that old gray-haired father!; In his most im
pulsive moments, however surrounded or flat

by his exuberant humor, a nitre allusion to
his lather called tears ip his eyes and grati
tude to his lips, ■' This' remarkable boy, con
scious of his influence with his own, was.
always a favorite with the gentler sex, and he
never spoke that he did not attract and delight
the laiter. There was such a fervor in ..bis
words and his way, such an affluence of lan
guage and novelty of idea—be was so persua
sive in Ms appeals arid so terrible in his invec
tive, that it soon became a . by-word in the
counties along the Ohio, Monoßgaheia, and
Alleghany rivers, that Sam Black, was the
' ,riost promising young man in all that border,
and that no .other people could match this
Western prodigy. His subsequent career, if
it did net wholly realize the predictions and
hopes of' bis friends, has been sufficiently
riveplfnl to entitle 1 it to honor.ble mention.
To fall in thebattle-field, and for Ms country,
was te die as Samuel ,IT. Black preferred to
ffie. If there was one trait conspicuous in him,
it was courage, and courage ot the purest
■ chivalry. It called him to the fields of M x'co,
' where he plucked laurels almost from the
'cannon’s mouth. It always made Mm the.
champion of the weak or, the wronged. • It
-made him irresistible, at thq bar; and, in the
exciting passages of public life, it demanded;
Ihe obrdivr.ee of the buliy and commanded
the respect of the gontlt-man. That this

been expected. He heard the agonizing call
of his country, when stripped and struck by

All his impulses and his instincts
■were tired and organized at this ap

J. W. F.
Washington, July 1, 18G2i -
The last English papers mention-the death
of .Earl Canning, who was Viceroy of India,
from 18-36 to 1862, and is fairly entitled t» tie
credit of haying carried India successfully
through a great Rebellion, and of haying left
it, in all respects, much better off than he
found it. Born in December, 1812, and dying
in June, 1862, he wanted six months of being
a sexagenarian. Do was .not considered a
.man of talent and ability, until his Indian
Government, though He graduated at Oxford
with a first-class in classics, and a second in
mathematics. Under Sir Robert Puel, from
1841 to 1840, he held inferior-offices. From
1853 to July, 1855, he was Postmaster-Gene
ral, which he ceased to bo on being ap
pointed Viceroy of India, a position of
much honor and great emolument, which
needy peers and out of-oibows statesmen
have much coveted—the usual temve be
ing for five -years—the average emolumerfts
rising from $160,000 a year, with immense
patronage, to any income which a man’s con
science can' permit him to make.,- in 1859
he was raised from the rank of Viscount to
that of Bari, and onty a few weeks ago he was
made Knight of Hie Garter, the highest per
sonal honor a British peer can receive. He
had shown so much good sense in his Indian
administration that he was rather looked upon
as “tiecoming man” in English politics, who,
upon the retirement or decease of old Palsieh
. ston, was likely to become Prime Minister, to
the exclusion of the rival Earls of Derby and
Russell. Leaving no son, nor any surviving
immediate relative, oxcept hia only sister, the
Marquis of Clmricarde, Earl Canning’b peer
age becomes extinct.
This however,’leaves an honorable
name. In 1837, oh the death of his mother,
he succeeded to the Viscounty, which had
been conferred upon her, as being the widow
of the celebrated scholar, wit, orator, and
t statesman, George Canning, the friend of
William Pitt, and himself Prime Minister of
' England for a few months in 1827. Georob .
■Oanni'no, who had started in life as the almost
penniless cadet of a wea thy Irish family of
English descent and property, married a
-daughter and co-heiress of .General Scott,
who had such ah antipathy to the British no
bility that he " declared no daughter of his
shou'd marry a man of noble birth; Yet, one
daughter became Duchess of Portland j a se
cond married Lord Douse, aiterwajfds Earl of
Moray ; and the -third; having'espoused
George Canning, was created Viscountess
after his death. The fortune of this last
named lady was $500,000, but, though Can--
niso almost constantly held offices with high
emoluments during tho twenty years next fol
lowing his marriage, so nauch did his expen-
difure exceed bis income—and no one charged
h‘m with being a spendthrift—that, early in
1822, be felt compelled to accept tbe Vice
royalty of India, from which, during the usual
fiveyears’ term, he might expect easily to save
an amount equal to the ■ fortune which
bis wife had brought him. On tho very
eve of quitting England for this splendid In
dian banishment, Mr. Cansing heard of tho
suicide of the-late Lord Casileheagu, and
scon received the offer of succeeding him as
Foreign Minister., He accepted the offer, and
the immediate result was; England’s. adoption
of a broader and more liberal foreign policy
than bad been pursued since the time of the.
first William Pitt, .including tho suppression
of the royal conspiracy impudently called
“ The Holy Alliance,” and the recognition
'of the South American Republics. In 1827,
on tbe retirement of Lord Liverpool, Can
ning became Prime Minister of England, and,
in that capacity, received more opposilion from
bis old allies, the Whigs, than from any other
party.* These aristocrats refused to act under
George Causing, because be was not a noble
man—-because, with all bis faults, he was of
the people—a self-made man. They broke
his heart, and he died, at the comparatively
early age of fitty-seven, in August, 1827.
Earl Canning, whose death we now record,
also “ died trio soon.” He was a man pure
in public .as in private life, and, had he sur--
vmd, wou’d probably have distinguished him
self in England, as he had in India, by honest
and manly administrative action; The loss o f
a good man, in public life, is indeed to be re
gretted by more than the people to whom he
Las naturally belonged by birth, culture, and
achievements.
Oah fre foot tjje bim 1 In other words,
can we pay the necessary, inevitable cost of
the war ? Mr. TnonnopE has a chapter on this
yiltfec* in his new book upon “ North Ame
rica,” and'answers the question affirmatively.
He is not a friendly writer—for he is an Eng-,
lish office-holder, and son of the Tkou.opk—
hut bis arguments are so well sustained by facts
and figures tbit we shall giveafew- of them
here, removing the veil of verbosity which en
velopes them. - _ .
First, the war was. inevitable. Mr. TaOLLpris
says, “ I think that the object of,the Northern
Statvstin this war has been good; I think that
they could not have avoided the war without
dishonor,and that it was'incumbent on them
to make themselves the arbiters of the. future
position of the South, whether that future po
sition shall or shall not be one of Secession.
This they could only do by fighting.” - '
, K ext, will we desire to pay the bill, and, de
siring, have we.the power to pay it? : :
“ The nation will be as ready to pay for the
war as'it has been ready to carry on the war”
V- so IhiDks Mr. Tiiomope, adding that Ame
ricans have not that “ ignorant impatience of
taxation” which Lord Gastieeeaou upbraided
the English for possessing. Americans have
bt on consc’ons, all through, that (his war will
impose upon tin m the necessity of supporting
the weight of a great national debt; but they
had to choose between dishonor and debt, and
they accepted the latter, with its responsibili
tks. If the: wealth of a-nation consists of its
labor, as political economists tell us, the Uni
ted States must be very rich—a'most as rich
as England. “Industry and intellect together,”
Mr; Tuoilott. fairly says, “will always.pro
duce wealth, and neither industry nor intellect
is ever wanting to an American.” Place the
burden of taxation properly on the muscles
which will have to bear it, and they will bear
it; the difficulty is. in the placing of the
weight. Even if Secession were completed,
the States remaining in the Uuion would be
some 22,000,000. When England had-$3,000,-
000,000 of a national debt—exactly sixty
years age—the whole population of the British
. Islands was less than 11,000,000, or one-half
of what, even with Secession accomplished,
we shall have here - when the war. is ended.
The British may' have, had more amassed
wealth than we have, blit if is the.labor and
not the amassed wealth, of a country that de
frays the wants and pays the debts of its peo
ple. One thing wo have to learn—the English
S have it in perfection—and ‘that, is, to know
how to levy the taxation which will pay the
interest of Mho debt, and ultimately redeem it.
The secret of state financiering is,how to.
raise a maximum of money for'the .'public'-
service by a minimum of .pressure upon the
people. That secret we shall learn bye and
bye, no doubt. ;
.When the w:ir-iocaded, r.nci it is uo'.v coming
to a close, we shall probably have a national
deb.t on which the annual interest will bo some
$84,000,000, on Mr. TnoniopEls .calculation.
In 1801, wlien the whole British pbpula; ion was
nothalf the population of the Union the
expenditure on account of their debt was ex
actly-, sa.<'u,ooo,<>OQ_a. .y,.j n ., .ttim the r wealth
was not as great as ours.is now. "Were our
debt to be $400,000,000 instead of $250,000,000,
the resources of this vast and property-creating
eonptry are capable of sustaining it. Our
power of enduring taxation is sorely as elastic
as that' of England, at any time. It.comes
down to a rule of three question. If England,
in 1801 j could pay $100,000,000 annual interest
on her debt, cannot we pay $81,000,000 on
our,debt in 1802,' our population, whose labor
is wealth, beiDg double the then population of
England ? -Themieans per man depends on the
labor per man,,so that oar means must double
ihtirs. In intellect and indnstry, the combined
action of which makes wealth, we are con
fessedly equal to England. Therefore, if their
debt has not crushed them, though it is nearly
four limes larger than oars, our debt will not
ciush us. :
. The political warfare of Kew York
journalism has long been a marvel to the
Philadelphia press. We have beheld it as a
Quaker might look on a cock fight, or a
maiden pn the indecent imbroglio of a dance
house, or a child on the shocking brutalities
of tte prize-ring. Our emotions have not,
•indeed, run through a very wide, compass,
since they have been confined within the limits
of their excitant causes; yet, in the dominant
direction into which they have been forced,
as much variety has been given them as could
be extorted from an everlasting re-grouping of
amazement, p.ity, disgust, and scorn. The
kaleidoscope has been swiftly and continually
turned by the hand of passing events; but its
chrcmaiic resources have not extended beyond
Mack", red, and green, and we have been com
pelled to gaze gapingly, again and again, at
those reassemblages of bate, -ferocity, and:
jealousy, which some infernally-gravitating or
other unseen and demoniacal power in the
region of New "Fork may have determined.
Perhaps we are wronging ;our sister, city, and
ore not exercising due charity for topographi
cal idiosyncrasies; perhaps we are demanding
too much by forgetting-that newspapers are, id
the aggregate, accurate reflexes of the pubiie
spirit which surrounds them. If so, we hereby
register our sincere regret at any piece of in-.
advertent injustice thus committed by us, and
promise to make, in the future,-a sharper dis
tinction between antecedent and consequent,
not to say cause and effect.
The truth is, our standard is mide too high
.by the utter peacefulness .of. our city. We
live in a that has not ratified a
consignment of itself to Death—Display and
Dyspepsia being the witnesses, We arc in no
burry to live, and therefore live in no hurry.
We give plenty of time to our dinners, and bur'
dinners reciprocate the compliment by giving
plenty of time to ns. The atmosphere of our
social and our mercantile life is laden with
calm—the repose of an existence unmarred
by morbid impulses, the healthful quiet of
a spontaneous, unconscious activity. Our
papers are. pervaded ,by :the • same i spirit.
They believe in energy," but. not in fuss; in
spiiit, but notin snarling; in controversy,bu
not in endless vituperation. Frequently op
posing each other’s views, they adorn their
.arguments wilhxonTtesyyand do not ignore
those mutual amenities that make the other
intercourses- of life genial and kindly. They
may and do dispute with warmth; but a vin
dictive squabble cannot be.found upon their
recotd for a quarter of a century.

LETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL.”
Wasuiuotos,- July 1, 1862,
I propose to sdtl another page to the book
in which the inconsistenoy and turpitude of
England.are recorded. It will serve to point
the moral of .one ,o£ her favorite arguments
against the United States since the beginning
of the war for (he preservation of our liberties.
Great indignation was expressed whan one or
two British subjects were arrested by order of
our Government, charged with complicity
with the traitors, and when they were readily
released, the d ; sappointment of the London
Tim cs, and other enemies of the United States,
: was hardly feoncqptd. On the 27th of Decem
ber, 1848, President Polk, in response to a
resolution of tho House of Representative's,
asking whether he had any information that
American citizens had been imprisoned or ar
rested hy the British authorities in Ireland,
sent to Congress a message, including a irport
from James Buchanan, Secretary ot State,
iiom which we collate the following facts:
Two American citizens, Sir. James Bergen, of
New' York, and Mr. Hiebard P. Ryan, of Ohio,
visited Europe on business, and in the course
of their travels stopped -at Dublin, Ire
land,' where they were arrested and''
thrown, into Newgate' upon suspicion of
treasonable practices against , the British
Government. .Ireland was, - at that time,
much agitated by the popular movements
against the alleged tvrannies of the British Go
vernment, and _ these -two gentlemen were
seized and confined as sympathizers with
that movement. ' The report of Mr. Buchinan,
and; the correspondence between Mr. Baricrolt,
then American minister at London, and Lord
Palmerston; the head of the';British Foreign
Office, exposes, on the part sf the British
Government, a despotism, an arrogance, and
an insolence towards the American people
which may ho profitably contrasted equally
with the leniency of Mr. Lincoln’s Adminis
tration towards the semi-traitors in oar midst,
and with the affected indignation and horror
of Ihe-Bi'itish rulers at;what they are pleased
to designate the high-handed severity of that
Administration. These two citizens were.ar
rested in July and detained until November,
■ notwithstanding the industrious efforts for
: their release, and the protests of the Secretary
of. State and onr American minister at Lou
don. The authority for.their arrest and con
finement was an act of Parliament suspending
th a habeas corpus for Ireland, and empowering
the Government to seize and incarcerate alt
suspected .pe;sons.' An extract from Mr. Bu
chanan’s despatch, dated Washington, the 18th
of December; .1848, will show how,the humane
and Christian Government of Great Britain
acted towards our own people during the pe
riod referred to: ,:
“ If ; this law, arbitrary and despotic as it is, had
been curried into execution, in tha same impartial
taaentr, against;the citizens and subjects of all fo
reign nations; this Government, especially after
the release of Messrs. Bergen and Ryan, might
'have subu.itted in silence. Bntitappeara that"ah"
inviduiuspnfl offensive distinction has been made
against American citizens in executing its provi
sions , They have been placed in a worse and more
degrading condition than those of airy other nation.
They have been:, singled out from the rest of the
world;;and 'all persons looming from America,’
from this fact alone, and without any other evi
dence,.have been subjected by the Government of
Ireland, acting, of course, under the authority of
that of Great Britain, in tbe’langusgepf the tanr, to
the ‘ suspicion of high treason or treasonable prac
tices J-.: The exercise of a wise discretion is more
necessary in tile execution of a despotic law than
with regard to any other enactment; yet the Irish
Government has entirely relieved itself from this
duty,.by declaring in advance that tall persons
coming from America,’ without exception, shall be
imprisoned under this law. To have come from
America to Ireland is ednetusive evidence to doom
the traveller for pleasure, the man of business, and
all others to its penalties, and this, too,-without
having received any previous warning.
“ Such is the character of the printed order of
the 2d August,'lB4B, to which you refer in your,
note to Lord Palmerston, of the 10th Novembor, as
1 secretly issued and circulated in: Ireland, direct
ing the.arrest, of all persons coming from A me-'
rica, the examination of their baggage, papers, and
persons, and their detention in imprisonment. No
..authority was given to set free Americans thus
arrtsted. even.where it was admitted by the officer
making the arrest that no ground whatever, evon
ot suspicion, existed.’
“It does,appear, from the letter of your Irish
'.correspondent,*'■ of September 7; 181 S, that, ‘on
the 18th August, 1848, this order was modified, so
as . ,to limit the arrest-and incarceration, seizure
and: search, to returned emigrants, and to-those
Americans against?, whom . there jnay exist sus
picion. If nothing should bo found: to warrant
such suspicion, these latter were to be liberated,
but watched.’ . - . - - .
“ The distinction, thus in effect drawn between
naturalized and native American citizens, is invidi
ous and unjust. Our. obligation to . protect both
these classes is. in all. respects, equal. We can re
cognizo no difference between: the one and the
other, nor- can- we permit this to bo done. by any .
foreign Government.,. without protesting and re-'
mon stratiiig against it. tathe strongest terms. The
subjects of other .‘countries who, from choice, have
abandons d tbeir nativo land, and, accepting the in
vitation whioh ohr, laws present, have emigrated to
' the United States and broomo Ameriaan citizens,
are entitled to the very same rights and privileges,
as if they had been born in the country. To treut.
them in. a different manner would be a violation of
our plighted faith, ub well as of our solemn duty. . .
_.“ihePrefWent has, therefore, directed me.to iu
structyou to protest in tha.mostsolemn and earnest
manner which official propriety will warrant, against
the orders of the Irish Government, issued oa the
2d and lSib of August, last, and against the atbi
. trary and offensive distinction which they make
between our citizens and the oitizens and subjects of,
other, nations, and also between aur native and na
. luraiized citizens. The.liberation of Messrs. Ber
gen and Ryan,.without trial, the only American
citizens known by the department to have been im
prisoned under tbis ; act, affords evidence almost
(-quid to demonstration that’no reasonablepause
existed for these orders.”
G reat. Britain was not at war with Ireland in
1848 as we are now with the traitors who are
fighting to destroy out rights and our liberties.
She assumed the authority, and exercised the
despotic powers referred to, against an un
armed party,.and, not content with the most
tyrannic treatment of her Irish subjects, did
not hesitate to set her spies to work, and to
capture and confine innocent Americans,
without trial, and for the moist frivolous and
causes. This passage is a fitting
comment upon the pompous professions of
these Tory statesmen, who, in discussing the
action of. the American Government against
armed rebels and their industrious sympa.
•thizers, can find no language of condemnation
and cen§ur6 tod strong to expesS their
feelings. . " ,
Since Sunday,.morning, speculation and
criticism have been rife in regard to the Ope
rations of McClelland column, but at this mo
ment the prevailing opinion is one of confi
dence. Late last night, I was assured on high
authority, that fe all was well,” and this
morning such glimpses of information as we
can ca'ch confirm the'cheering augury. I
have no right to speak in more than
terms, hut I firmly believe that you will have
a joyous celebration of tke 4fch of July.
Occasional.
- An Esteemed Correspondent favored us, a
few days ago, with a paragraph censuring the
conduct of the post office carrier in one of the dis
tricts of Kensington. It will bo remembered ho
charged the official with having wantonly insulted
a lady. Mr. Postmaster Walborn examined into
the matter, and has come to .the conclusion that,
while our correspondent was mistaken in some
facts, there was enough to justify a reprimand, on
his plrt, pf the offending official. It seems that the
carrier trespassed in an effort to faithfully obey
the rules of the department, and that there was
nothing upon his part to show a desire to wound
the feelings of any one. The postmaster, there
fore, very properly retained him in his place, at
the same time instructing him to be more' careful
hereafter. 'We mention this-fact in justice to Hr.;
Walborn, to the official censured, and to our.cor
respondent, and in doing so it affords us pleasure to
pay a tribute tothe masterly manner in which all
the affairs of our- local postal sjstem are being
managed. It is a subject of general gratification
to every citizen to see the energy, the punctuality,
and the kindness with which the intricate opera
tions of this department are conducted.'. Mr.
born has brought into'his position a large number
of reforms which wot© greatly needed. He has
been unceasing in his efforts to accommodate every
one, arid in nothing has he shown this so much as
in the case represented. He will beat all; times
ready and willing to hear, every complaint-that
may be made, to examine into it, and do justice.

[Special Despatches to The Tress ]
Foi§|rbss.:;Mohbob, Juno 30. ,
I have arrived here safety, in company with;
General Stbneman and staff and General Casey and
staff, who are here, it is said, under special orders.
: You have no doubt been apprised of the great
confusion existing here, and naturally attendant
upon the crowding of vessels into the harbor
from White House Point.
The affair of Saturday last partook,in.ore of the
nature of a battle than the engagements of Thurs
day or Friday. General Fitzjohn Porter has cover
ed himself with glory. He selected a very strong po
sition, and, having posted his forces in an admirable
manner, was prepared to hold it against tiny force
of the enemy.. The brave men of this command
all fought with heroic courage, and the volunteers
vied with General Sy kes’, regulars in making steady
movements, and carefully executing the commands
of their officers.
Timo and again, vast hordes of rebels moved up
in solid columns upon our troops, hut our regular
batteries,as often mowed them down in a most de
structive manner.' Steady discharges of shell,’
grape, and canister in regular, salvos seemed to
sweep down whole companies.
As soon as confusion in tho rebel ranks was ap
parent, General Porter ordered General Meagher’s
Irish'Brigade to ehsrge bayonebs, which they did
tin tho most gallant and heroic; style, bare-lieaiied,
in their, shirt sleeves, occasionally .with these rolled
up.-' ■■■
Ills charge had an excellent effect. The rebels
were driven back with groat slaughter, and General
Porter was preparing to move upon them over the
piles of the rebel dead and dying, when the enemy
again advanced steadily, strongly reinforced.
" Now the Pennsylvanians gave them the benefit of
nil their splendid rifles, while,the. batteries played
upon .them as before, .creating sad havoc. lodised,;
the slaughter upon ether fields during this war- has
never been any thing to compare to this. The rebels
staggered under their, losses, and oar forces were
advancing steadily upoa then), driving them back
at every point, when a.staff officer rode up with an
order from the commander-in-ohief to Gen. Porter,
directing bim.to. fall back with his command, and'
cross the Chickahominy.
:. The order was executed in fine style, and our
troops did not miss a man, the enemy being too se
verely punished to; follow ns; closely. The only
difficulty was with the Pennsylvania Reserves and
Meagher’s Irishmen—their commanders exerting
. all their powers to induce these brave men to ceaso
filing. They saw the advantages gained by hard
fighting, and they were anxious to follow up the
success.. \ .
All the troops must l>c praised for heroic gal
lantry in this affair, but tho regulars must have es
pecial notice. General Sykes, the lamented Major
Rossel, the 3d, 4th,.and 14th. Infantry, behaved ad
mirably. . ....
General Porter thought he would be reinforced,
and be ordered to advance upon Richmond forth

',>:*■ West Virginia. " ..
On motion of Mr. WILLEY (U.), of Virginia, the bill
For the admission of West into the Union as a
Staff, was taken op, the q\\e3iioi being on the amend
ment of Mr. Sumner, thetf after Fourth of July, 1883,
there .ejball be nenh*f nor involuntary servitude,
otherwise a punishment for crime, whereof the
N convicted ? within the limits of the
Eißcl Slate. '
. Mr. SUMNER (Rep.), of Ma’ssohusette, said! the bill
proposed that all children borg after ISB3 shall be free,
“hut allowed the present generation of slaves to continue
as such, thus admitting aoother Slave State with two
Senators for a whole generation;
: Be couhi not content to the admission of a State with
a Constitution recogLizmg slavery for a whole genera
tion. He quoted from the speeches of Webster against
tbe.admission of. Slave Stalest.
Mr. HALE (Rep.), of. New, Hampshire, said that
Webeter, in later: and perhaps wiser years, repudiated
every word of these speeches.
' He ehf old not vote because Webster had said one thing"
or the other ; but it would seem singular that while wo
had all along admitted States with slavery without any
objection, we should now reftise to admit the first State
that a&ks admission with the condition for the immediate
, ejVfeblhbuitnt of a system of prospective emancipation.
Af be 'did not make, this world he was willing to take it
as he font d it, and meat the cinoation practically. It was
iktfor'usto get ontvelves up in dogmatic wisdom against
the 'convictions of other men, who may -possibly be as
wise as we are. Bo,wanted to deal with this thing'as a
practical fact, and he would hail the advent ,of a Slave
Slate it to the Union, with a clause in its Constitution for
gradual cmancipatior, more gladly and with greater, sa
tisfaction than the of a free State outright.
And why i ‘‘.Because there is joy among angels over
orb siun»r that repenteth more than over ninety-and
niiie that need no repentance. n ;
; Mr. COLLAMER (Rep ), of Vermont* contended that
whtn a new State was admitted it must be admitted on
an equality with the other States, and we could not make
coi.ditioDH or terms as to what Bhe Bhould do.‘ The Con
stitution guarantud.every State; a republican Jorm of
gevenmenl, and Oongrers has generally had tho -pro
;po6td Constitution of a State, so as to judge for itself
whether that Constitution is republican or not ; but this
bill says nothing abc-ut this State Constitution. It pro
vides that some counties may get together and form a
Constitution, and then Oe admitted by proclamation, with
out Congreffi seeing tbe proposed Constitution atall Such
a proceeding would be entirely'taf variance with all the
former action of the. Government,; and Congress had
never delegated this power of inspection of the. Const
itution to any other power at all. He'didnot see how a
State roulffbp admitted under tbi? bill. . .
Mr WILLEY (Union), of Virginia, proposed to amend
the bill so ae to obviate the objection of the Senator from
Vermont, enabling the State to be admitted when tbe
'Tatified Constitution is republican in form, with the fun*
danetitel'cmfaiiion that children born after tho itii of
July Bhali be free. Id regard to -Mr- Sumner’s amend
ment be paid that most of the slaves now reaiaiaing in
Western Virginia were old family slaves, and gradual
emancipation was better for the interests of the State.
Ihe bill, in effect, proposes the admission of a new.free
State. Tie God of Nature has ordained that Western
Virginia should be afree State, and there were there to
day probably not eight thousand slaves', and really they
were not in involuntary servitude. From, its position in
regard to Ohio and Pennsylvania, lti« impossible to keep
a sla\e. t) ere unless he'Jb willing to stay. Be protested.
emntMly againvt the Addition of new counties, madeby -
the bill as reported by the conmi tb.e, thus including the
counties in the valley, which will-have no social or friend
ly relations with - the people of Northwestern Virginia,
but a;e divided by a range of mountains as well as by :
FetliDg and interest. -•
Sir. WADE (Eep.)voffOhlo, was in favor of theadeois- -
. sion of ihe new State with theamendmsntto the brtf pro
pped by the' Senator from Virginia. These people of
Northwestern Virginia were divided from t!w rest of the
State, geogranhicallly and socially, and there was great
enmity between them ; aad although this new State was
half slavery for a time, yet it looks 01l the while to ulti
mately. be»ng a free State, and fco tbe extermluatiin of
slßvery. He would much rather have the good old lan
guage . that “ there shall be no slavery.or involuntary
servitude.” But when a State .knocked for admission
with the provision for gradualemaucipation, it presoutsa
difftrent case front a State contendiog for the perpetua
' lion bf.Blavtry. He'was utterly opposed to slavery, but
dirt not think he violated his pi'iuciples-by admit.ing a
State with this provision.
Mri FESSENDEN (Rep.)/of .ilaiiie, was in favor of
the admipsjon of‘this new State, but there were some
things in tbe bill bePbould like,to examine. Ho thought
that before the admission of this new : State, we should
tal e on irrevmible positiou in *e«erd to gradual emanci
pation. R« moved that the bill be postponed for tho'prs-.
sent, mid the army appropriation bill taken up.
Provisional State Governments.
Mr. HARRIS (Bep.), ef New York, callert up the bill
to provide provisional governments for certain Stales,
which he said it was nectssary shouldbe ,passed early if
pasfcd’at all. . k
The Army Apprepriatian BIH.
The army appropriation MU was taken tip.'
... Mr. FESSENDEN stated that the CozmnUfcae of Fi«
r ance had struck down the apnopriatfons to nearly oae
tWrd. The. appropriations were sufficient to c«rry the
Government to January, leaving the ; rest till Congress
fibouldmett againiu December, oh the principle of keep
ing these large appropriations la the power of Congress,
aed not-from any distrust-of the Adminlstrutieri in any
way; for if there wne any roan in whose Integrity* pa-
IriotißDi, and ability he had entire confidence, it wk* the
Secretary of War.
In the amendment to limit the number of rank and (He*
to 750,600, Mr. HALE offered atr tmnmdnmnt to limit thcr
number of Major Generate to forty, sud- Brigadier Gene
rals to two hundred.
.Mr. FESSENDEN said it was wcW’isnown that there
were a great many men sick and wounded, and it hai
been suggested by the Military Oopsmittee that tbU
ameadmeut bad better not be adopted, and* he should not
press it.
Mr. GRIMES (Rep.), of lowa, hoped Grhr ameodiaoßt
woulo not be si ickeo out. If more men wore oweffed
Congreee should provide them, and be willing-to stay
here or be tilled back, to orovide them He was sorry to
Bay that be had not etichuuJimitfcd confidence Sr 1 the War
Department. _He was perioctiy willing to give all the
support the Government needed in a constitutional way.
Mr. > KlNG'<Jiep.}, of Newlork, said the SMtory
Committee had thought n bfcit, at present, to nnfco this
limitation. Rnt be was witting now to sat any limitation
on the number of men.
Mr. TRUMBULL (Rep.) was sorry if this limitation :
was to be stricken out. It was tho duty of Oongres-i to
raise and support armies, and Congress ought not to givo
unlimited power to raise any number of men. He thoueht
500,000 wore enough in the fieJd; . .
Mr. KING said we had not 500,000 men in ths field.
From the beßt information he could get, he said he
thought there bad been over 600.000 men recruited,
Mr TRUMBULL thought it bfctter to fix a limit some
where.
After Fnrtbcr dlscußsipn, Mr Halo’s amendment was
adopted, and the limitation of, 750,000 men stricken oat.
''.After the; consideration of the various amendment! of
the Committee of Finance.
Bfr. KING, from ; the Military. Ciimmittee, offered an
amendment, making an appropriation of two millions of
dollars to provide for the comfort of discharged soldiers
who may arrive in tb* principal'cities wounded, aad for

victualler of the ship on a promedade through the town',
and even into the.reception: room 'of a hotel, .where'
she ate a biscuit that was offered her., She. had the good
sense to refu> e a glass of liquor that was offered her ) but
as she passed down the street, and being called by name,

corslautly guarded to prevent them from deserting in a
body is daily cbri'oborated by prisoners and deserters. .
