WILLRM T. SigODGR&SS, : : -TWITIj E_ M. NEEDLES MPS CHESTNUT STREET. Vress. THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1864. NEW YORK CItY. NEM' Yoar„ Jan. 18, 1864 CCarraspondence of Vie Press.) "CONCERT SALOONS." A resolution has just passed the Stale Legisla ture, which provides for a committee, whose duty will aonsiet in visiting andinvnatigating the Concert Saloons or this city. If the report arising there from shall prove sufficiently detestable, it la intend ed to abolish these infamous resorts, and thus ena ble decency to promenade Broadway without offbn sive pictures and signs calling a flush to that callous face of hero. For decency has a face of metallic lustre hereabout. This is the avowed intention of some of the Solons at Albany—the result remains to be seen. Some time ago these pest-spots were blottedout It was when we were Istria and Puri tnninal. Democracy foamed at the mouth, because its Sunday carousals and debaucheries were forbid_ den ; because the liquor shops were peremptorily closed, and the concert saloOns.suppressed, Horatio Seymour ran a tilt at Puritanism, and with his reign the mad simonise began in every basement on Broad way which could be procured for the purpose. Hie supporters proclaimed the license, and half the com mon vagabonds of the city voted his straight ticket in consequence. It is barely possible, not probable, that the plan on foot may prove efficacious, and rid us, once more Of these filthy and shameless institutions; m ore shall observe the character of those excellent legs- Wore who vote against abating the nuisance, upon the plea that such a course would indicate a slavish subserviency to the claims of Fanaticism and Puri tanism. Every Democrat who votes for it wilt vote in direct antagonism to his platform as it has been laid down in this city, and will deprive that platform and party of the votes of hundreds. The business is one of the ramifications of that intolera ble Liquor Interest, which owns the body and soul of the mob among us. This fact renders the chances of successful interference still fewer. It is like Belting the tiger in his den. single-handed; and in such a case success must always be doubtful. It is stated in well.informed quarters that Mr. Al bert M. Palmer, the private secretary of Collector Barney, is to be tried by a military commission, and if found guilty of the malfeasance with which he has been charged, will suffer the full punishment which military law allows for such offences. This means death. Custom house eyes are, in consequence, es sentially "sticking out" Fat officials are naturally opposed to death by musketry. The view seems an exaggerated one, however, and in case Mr. Palmer has been guilty, fine and imprisonment will doubt leas be the measure of punishment awarded his cri minality. In the same quarters it is likewise al aerted that Mr. Barney will be removed, and Mr. Wakeman, the present postmaster, or Mr. Opdyke, ex-mayor, substituted. This seems equally impro bable, for nothing has been breathed against that of ficial, except by the - Copperhead press. Indeed, Mr. Barney has been instrumental in ferreting out many of the custom house frauds, and has borne a charms ter for uprightness and probity throughout his poli tical career, which has been a very brief one. The charge made against the City Inspector's De partment by T. N. Carr, Esq., suPerintendentof Sani tary Inspection, and countenanced by IVlayor Gun ther, haa called forth an irate order of disuriesalfrom City Inspector Boole. A paragraph quoted there from] will explain the high grammatical proficiency to which our excellent City Inspector has attained. He says : " I trust that your successor, which I will select with care, will be a man as incapable of al lowing any neglects of duth or other abuses, to pass without bringing them to my notice, as of afterward using such neglects of his own to my attempted in jury." Judging from this assertion, there is no evi dence that the successor, " which is to be selected," will be a human being. Mr. F. L A. Boole haaalwaya been the butt of small malice, the last perpetration of which consists in transposing the lettete of his name interrogatively, as, B. I. A. Poole. This is unnecessary cruelty ! The next step may possibly be the removal of Mr. Boole himself by the higher powers. The Express newspaper is again in court upon the proceedings of Illr. Clark, one of the proprietors. This case has come to be known as a political case, and the political speeches of the sonnet engaged upon it have attracted no little attention. In this instance, the plaintiff sought to prove by a witness named Robson, an attache of the Express, that the sales had fallen off nearly fifty per cent. since the adoption of its disloyal course. Robson declined answering any questions, however, wider advice of counsel, and an order to show cause why he should not be committed for contempt of court was conse quently made by the presiding ,juatice. When-41ifs testimony is given, James and Ensigns Brooks will, doubtless, become." minable" men, as it has all along been claimed that the Express was thriving upon its disloyalty. The same thing is likewise claimed for Ben 'Wood's Daily News, a paper having a circule flop equal to some of the inferior literary weeklies of this city, and probably not much more. During the past week the North and East rivers have been literally filled with huge masses of float ing ice. Sometimes great fields, of three or 'four inches in thickness, fairly threaten the blockade of the channels, and trie extinction—so to speak—of some of the vessels lying-up at the wharves. I have seen these fields extending diagonally from Hoboken, on the Jersey shore, to the Battery, a distance of ssveral miles. The constant plying of ferry-boats, however, seems to shatter these enormous cakes, and thus preserves navigation, which otherwise might be very seriously impeded- But few accidents have thus far occurred from the ice; although a few hulls have been badly scraped, and a few rudders carried away. STUYVESANT. Publications Received. From T. B. PETERSON & BROTHERS : " Sala thiel,.the Wandering Jew ; a story of the Past, the Present, and the Future," by the Rev. Dr. Croly. This is a new edition of a powerful and eloquent romance, written by one of the ablest divines of the Church of England—Whose death, a few years ago, ought to have been mentioned in the brief biography ' prefixed to the story. Dr. Croly ranked . high as poet, preacher, historian, biographer, and novelist, and" Salathiel " is a fair specimen of his remarka ble genius. The legend of the Wandering Jew has been grandly treated by tke pencil of Gustavus Dore, (see his illustrations lately published ,by F. Lespoldt,) and by the pen of George Croly. " Sala- Wel " is one of the acknowledged classics of our language. From Joux P. HUNT, Pittsburg 1" Hunt's Gazet teer of the Border and Southern States," by R. H. Long, late of the U. S. Army. This pocket volume, not very neatly printed on the thinnest paper, will be found useful to all, particularly military men who have to go South or into the Border States. Its account of places therein is brought down to the close of 1863. The book is deficient in one important respect ;it wants an index of places. For instance, if we want to ascertain particulars about Atlanta, in Georgia, we must examine fifty or sixty pages be fore we find the place, to which an index would in straitly have referred us. The suitable and satisfae tory illustration of this little volume is Charles De silver's excellent, because reliable, map of the Bor der and Southern States, showing the railroads, canals, stage.roads, &c., with distances fromplace to place. This is the most recent as well as the most correct map of the locality in question yet issued. From JAMBS K. Simon, 33 South Sixth Street.— "The Rebellion Record," part 39, edited by Frank Mr. Putnam will, In future, publish this WOrk. The present number, which .vommences volume TM:contains the usual memorabilia of the Rebellion. Its illuatratiens are portraits on steel, of Generals Quincy A. Gillmore and Samuel R. Zook. This collection of facts will be of immense.value to our future historians. Tux Aisnuio.ku LAN REGISTER iiii-4•406; forcibly illustrates the value of this admirable ift. riodical to the legal profession. It contains several important decisions and abstracts of decisions, and has for its leading article an analysis of the laws re gulating the forms of marriage in the United States, which is almost exhaustive of the facts. It was prepared in the office of the Attorney General or the United Statesi for the use of one of the foreign min inters, and has not before been published. The Regis ter is under the immediate editorial control of James T. Mitchell, Erg., of this city, and among its contri buting editors are some of the most distinguished lawyers of America. Tan LEGAL AND INSURANCE REPORTER has just begun its sixth volume under the able editorial ma nagement of Messrs. James Fulton and George W. Harkins. Its interests are so clearly those of the city and State, that its prosperity ought to be per manent. The following argument in favor of a nar Urinal foundry in Pennsylvania, is equally Apili cable to that of the new navy yard : 1, Pennsylvania is rich in all the resources which have made England great. It it her Mil which give' activity to the present large fleet of steamers employed by the Government in enforcing the blockade. It is her iron which covers the sides of our mailed steamers and monitors. It is the came material from Which is constructed the enormous guns which arena* employed in sieges and defences. Without the materials tarnished by our State, it would be impossible to carry on hostilities success ful y. Without iron it would be impossible to build inn. clad vessels—monitors and ironsides—or con at net engines for the wooden vessels; without it we should be unable to cast cannon, or the thou sem ds or canoomballs and shells required for war. Without coal our war vessels would be useless, c steamers could not be available for any kind of reprice. New York may boast of , being the Empire State, but Pennsylvania is the centre or alone, without which the Union could not err od. A few simple facts will show which ie most essential to the Government. The cen sus returns for 1860 showJ'lthat • Pennsylvania fu; Limbed 0,207,292 tone of anthracite, and 6,134,656 to; s of bituminous coal, or 75.3 per cent. of value of lhe whole produce. New York did not furnish a tot of this indispensable article; the people of her cities are now dependent upon Pennsylvania for the means of warmth, and her manufactories and it. smehips for the fuel which gives motion to tl.• ir machinery. Pennsylvania furnished 653,560 tot aof pig iron out of the whole product of 884,474 tol s in the Country, and 258,709 tons of the MEOW i duct of 406 298 tons'of bar and rolled iron mann far Used in 1860. These facts have an important bearing upon the question of the establishment of a national Government foundry. Without Pennsyl vania, a national foundry;could not be established in any city On the Atlantic. ' Man. DICK WATSON, Of St. Louis, heard that her husband had died at the City Hospital, and secured a suitable rooms sent for the body, hid her.friendo,- a d had an all night wake.

REMARKABLE CONVENTION OF THE FREE STATE MEN, Proclamation of General Banks. Appoint• log February 2Ad as the Day of Election for Governor. &c The mass meeting of this body which took place On the evening of Friday, January 8, (the anniver sary of the battle of New Orleans,) at the St. Oharlee Theatre, was unquestionably one of the most im portant ever held in this State, and one whose far reaching influence will, sooner or later, be felt through the length and breadth of the country. As our local paper will give you full details of it, I need not do more than glance at its character and alms. . . The meeting was presided over by that able finan cier and cleer-headed man, the Eton. B. F. Flanders, who, in a very short and pertinent speech, explained the objects of,. the meeting. The gist of the presi dent's remarks Was to show that the martial law, rendered necessary by the outbreak of this rebel lion, was not the normal condition contemplated by the Government; that in appointing a Military Go vernor, the President of the United states had only done what was necessary for the time being, but that now it became the people of Louisiana, of their owu free - will, to take the necessary step/ for orga nizing a form of government consistent with the future welfare of the State and the ispirit of the times in which we live. The pt. amble and resolutions will be found calm, temperate, and dignified, but withal full of unmis• tskable determination of purpose. Starting upon the broad basis of that sublime utterance -in the Declaration of Independence, "that all men are - cleated equal—that they are endowed by their Ci calor with certain inalienable rights—that among them are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi ncessfl they boldly 'Winn that thie rebellion 1a bUt a vast effort to overthrow that principle; Mara the triumph of free government; proclaim the existence of slavery. in Louisiana as "a moral, legsd,F,and physical impossibility ;" endorse all the acts and proclamations of the President respecting it, especially that of Bth December, 1863, and ash upon the Military Governor of the state, Brigadier Genial George F. Shepley, to take all necessary steps for having an election at an early day. Let no one in the North mistake this for the work of a mere factious and impotent minority.

Times. PROCLAMATION. READQIJAIXTBES DBPARTHENT OP THE GULP, NBW ORLEANS, Jan. 11, 1864. To tke People of Louisiana: I In pursuance of authority vested in me by the President of the United States, and upon consulta tion with many representative men of different in terests, being iully assured that more than a tenth of the population desire the earliest possible restora tion of Louisiana to the Union, I invite the loyal citizens of the State qualified to vote in public affsirs, as hereinafter prescribed, to assemble in the election precincts designated by law ' or at such places as may hereafter be established, on the 22(1 day of February, 1864, to east their votes for the election of State officers herein named, viz : 1. Governor ; 2. Lieutenant Governor ' • 8. Secretary of State ; 4, Treasurer ; 5. Attorney General ; 6. Superintendent of Public Instruction ; 7. Auditor of Public Account ; who shall, when cleated, for the time being, and until others are appointed by competent authority, constitute the civil govern ment of the State, under the Constitution and laws of Louisiana, except so much of the said Constitu lion and laws as recognize, regulate, or relate to slavery, which,' being inconsistent with the present condition of publivaffairs,, and plainly inapplicable to any class of persons now existing within its limits, must be suspended, and they are hereby clamed to be inoperative andvoid. This proceeding is not intended to ignore the right of property existing prior to the rebellion, nor to preclude the claim for compensation of loyal citizens for losses sustained by enlistments or other authorized acts of the Government. • ' 11. The oath of allegiance preecribed by the.Presi. dent's preclamation,. with The condition affixed to the elective franchise by the Conetitution , of Louisi ana, will constitute the qualification of voters in this election. Officers elected by them will be duly installed in their offices on the 4th day of March, 1664. 111. The registration of voters, elated under the direction of the Military Governor and the several Union Associations, not inconsistent with the pro clamation, or other orders of the President, are eon finned and approved. IV. In order that the organic law of the State may be made to conform to the will of the people, and harmonize with-the spirit of the age, as well as to maintain and preserve the ancient landmarks of civil and religious liberty, an election of delegates to a Convention for the revision of the Constitution will be held on the first Monday of April, 18811 The barns of representation, .the number of delegates, and the details of election, will be announced in subse quent orders. V. Arrangements will be made for the early elec tion of members of Congress for the State. VI. The fundamental law of the State is martial law. It is competent and just for the Government to surrender to the people, at the earliest possible Moment, so much of military power as may be con sistent with the success of military operations; to prepare the way, by prompt and wise measures, for the full restoration of the State to the Union, and its power to the people ; to restore their ancientand unsurpassed prosperity ; to enlarge the scope of agri cultural and commercial industry, and to extend and confirm the dominion of rational liberty. It is not within human power to accomplish these results without some_ sacrifice of individual prejudices and ieteresta. Problems of State, too complicated for the human mind, have been solved by the national cannon. In great civil convulsions, the agony of strife enters the souls of the innocent as well as the guilty. The Government is subject to the law of ne cessity, and must consult the condition of things, rather than the pteferences of men ; and if so be that its purposes are just and its measures wise, it has the light to demand that questions of personal in terest and opinion shall be subordinate to the public good. When the national existence is at stake, and the liberties of the people in peril, faction is treason. The methods herein proposed submit the whole question of government directly to the people—firit,. by the election of executive officers, faithlul to the Union, to be followed by a loyal representation in both Mousers of Congress—and then by a Convention which will confirm the action of the people, and re cognize the principles of freedom in the organic law. This is the wish of the President. The anniversary of Washington's birth is a At day for the Cominionsc ment of so great a work. The immortal Father of his Country was never guided by a niorejuat and be nignant spirit than that of his successor in office, the President of the United Staten. In the hour of our trial let us heed his admonitions !. Louisiana, in the opening of her history, sealed the integrity of the Union by 'conferring upon its go vernment the Valley of the ellesisaippi. In the war for independence upon the sea, she crowned a glo rious struggle against the first maritime Power of the world, by a victory unsurpassed in the annals of wan Let her people now announce to the world the coming restoration of the Union, in which the ages that follow us have a deeper interest than our own, by the organlzationof a free government, and her fame will be immortal! N. P. BANKS, M. G. C. TEXAS. ADDRESS OF GEN. HAMILTON TO TIIIG rloriar, OF THE STATE. What Texas has Suffered from the Rebellion, WHY SLAVERY SHOULD BE ABOLISHED We find in the New Orleans Era the address of Governor Hamilton to the people of Texas, issued upon his arrival recently in that State. The address is characterized by great ability and force, prenent ing in clear terms the folly of secession, and the duty of standing by the Government in Its struggle with treason. The address opens as follows ernmare on-Taxan a Throughthe instrumentali. ty of ambitious and designing men, you have been, for more than two apd a half years, engaged in re bellion against the Government of the United States. Hunted as a felon, and expelled the State because I would not join the conspiracy to over throw free government, I now, after au exile of eighteen months, return to it charged with the duty of organizing such provisional State government as may be best calculated to aid in restoring you to the blessings of civil liberty. " When you were breed, bye minority, into re bellion, you were in the enjoyment of every blessing ever conferrefd by , civil government upon men. Not a single wrong had you ever suffered from the Go velment. YOU bad liberty, peace, prosperity, and were in the daily and Undisturbed pursuit of hap pint, se. You will not fail to remember the promises of the rebel leaders ; nor the predictions of loyal MET:. After an experience so mad in its results—so ho)Tible in its details—l call upon you to answer, who dealt truthfully with you t" ricomisics A.I4D PuLanaurfiT. Governor Hamilton then recounts some of the promises made by the rebel leaders to the people of Texas, namely, that secession was a rightful and pescenal remedy for anticipated evils ,• that the South had but to strike to secure the help and sym pathy of the world, which recognized "cotton. as kin ;" that the North would not and could not fight :Southern men, and that, in case of war, the No :thein States would immediately crumble to pieces and shows that none of these promises have been fulfilled, while all the predictions of disaster: mane by those who opposed disunion have actually come to pass. Thus, as to the prophecy of Union, mea as to the effect of rebellion on slavery. Go. vernor Hamilton says ; ""You were told that the institution of slavery owed to the Government of the United States all the toleration and consideration which it ever had lathe civilized world ; and that, if left to combat the public sentiment of mankind alone upon its merits, it would go down ; that whatever might be the intention of the leaders in rebellion, they would ultimately be forced to the alternative of making the new govern ment a despotism ; that the people would not long tolerate so disastrous a change in their interests and happiness, unless compelled by force. We said that ' cotton' was not king" that bread had ever been and would ever be the chief necessary of MU• victuals and of nations; that none of the govern• ments of the old world could afford to jeopardize their moral status by openly aiding in the establish- went of a government for the perpetuity of slavery; but that France and England would avail them. 'elver of every opportunity to encourage civil war here, in the hope that the power and influence of republican governenent on this continent might be broken and deitroyedt that Mexico Would bevictim. ized by one or both of these governments wiling we were engaged in domestic strife. - "_We said the Revolution would soon prove to Rio sunogave onnin t aM U WM 119%it we:, la Rio interest of his clam. but In the interest of the slave• owner, and destined to result in the disfranohise meat of the poor, and thus compel them, in self de fence, to become the stern and uncompromising op ponent* of slavery. We warned you that the boast ed wealth of the South was not and could not be Shade available in the contemplated struggle; that the institution of slavery, unlocked by he clash of aims, would' deliver within the lines of the South, as the Grecian hone did within the walla of Troy, a hostile force at its very citadel ; that the Govern ment was strong and would exert its atrenghth for the suppression of the rebellion; that the issue would at last be between a slave aristocracy and a Democratic republic. "Citizens of Texas, let truth be between us. Again I call upon you to answer, whose promises have failed, and whose predictions have been yea. tied if a single promise made by the rebel leaders has been realized, I challenge you to name it! What has been your realization of liberty under the rebel rule V, THE PENALTIES OF EBBELLION Governor Hamilton next exhibits the disasters Which have follow, d Secession 16 You have either been denied the right to carry your cotton and other products to the only market open to you—the Mexican border—or you have, when there, been shamelessly plundered by Govern ment agents and military commanders, who have thus secured for themselves fortunes now safely de posited in foreign countries, and which they expect tirerjoy while you suffer the evils which they have entailed upon you. Taxation in some form has been visited upon you day by day,untll you are no longer able to meet the demands of yoUr masters. And, at last, when every appliance to extort money from you had failed to satisfy them because of the worth lessness of the currency they had compelled you to accept, agents were appointed to call upon you at your homes for one-tenth of your crops—the proceeds of your honest toil. "Martial law has been visited upon you, and in every town and village, and neighborhood, some petty despot appointed, to whose edicts. YOU were required ltp bow in meek submission. You have been dent - :the:right to travel through the t commu nity near r homes on tile mast useamsary busi ness, vii the written permission of one of these tools ofWeeny. . You dare not convey to mar ket the products of your farms and your labor without permission. Your wagons and teams have been seized by Government agents at home, and on the roads to market, in order to compel you to sell to'them your crops for a nominal price in worthless paper. No interest has been secure and no right veered. Law and order no longer exist among you. * * * The vicious and depraved— the murderers and ruffians of the country are band ed together in secret societies known as' Sons of the South,.? and are from day today sitting in judg ment upon the lives of the beat citizens of the State. ', Three ithousaud of your eitizens have perished because they loved good government, and peace, and order in society—perished as felons. They have been bung, shot, and literally butchered ; they have been tortured, in many instances, beyond anything known in ravage warfare. "Uncertainty, and gloom, and 'despair are resting upon you today like the frown of God. Are you in love with this, and do you desire it to continue 1" THE AMNESTY PROCLAMATION. Governor Hamilton next refers to the amnesty proclamation, offering pardon to all but the rebel leaders, ardNisousseg that part of it requiring the surrender of slavery : It is true that the negroes in TM'S are to-day legally free ; but how does this injure you If you are yourselves free, the fact of all others being free also will not impair your rights nor abridge your privileges. The levelling process so much coin plainest of is, indeed, very different from that in tended by your masters • they intended to keep the negro in bondage, and reduce you to the same condi tion. The Government of the United States has de termined that you shall continue free, and to that end has deemed it necessary to give freedom to the slaves. "Tour position in government and society will remain unchanged, that of the negro improved. Let those who (feel conscious that they cannot success• fully compete with the negro for the prize of ac knoWledaed merit and moral worth chafe and com plain. The man who is conscious of endowments, physical and mental, superior to the negro, and who Intends to employ them for the good of his country and Mn race, will feel no jealousy of the negro's freedom." SLAVERY ARRAIGNED Governor Hamilton, continuing,' shows how eh. very has retarded the prosperity of Texas, how it had grown to be a despotism, destroying all who dared to oppose it :" In our own State, during the summer and fall of 1560, according to the published account of the murderers themselves, two hundred and fifty of our free citizens were hung as felons, and thousands driven from homes and compelled to leave the Slate because they were suspected of infidelity to slavery. And, finally, gathering temerity from its successful war upon the rights'ond lives of its citi zens, it lifted its unholy handto destroy the Govern ment to whose protection it owed its power. In its efforts to accomplish this, you . have only been con sidered as so much material to be-used. * * * "If, then, yozi. believe, as I do, that the institution of slavery has merited and invited its own destruction, and that its doom, pronounced by the sovereign power of the' nation, is an act of jus tice—more than human justice—attesting the pre sence of an Omnipotent hand—then speak and act as men who 'deserve freedom for themselves and their potterity. The day is near at hand when the name Abolitionist will have - ceased to be a re proach, even in the South, and when- children, now daily the subjects of attempted insult on account Of its application to their fathers, will thank God that they were so revited."

I have been engaged for the last few hours in doing what I can to make arrangements for the wounded. I have sent out all the ambulances now loaded.

I have no control over the new regiments; do not know any about them, except those near here. Their commanding officers and those of the works are not under me. Where I have seen evils existing under My eye, I have corrected them. I think it is the business of General Casey to pre pare the new regiments for the field, and a matter between him and General Barnard to order others to Chain thidge.

During this interview I suggested to the general.ireohief the no. cepsity of his going in person, or sending one of his personal staff, to the army under General Pope, for the purpose of ascertaining the exact condition of affairs. lie sent 001. Kelton, his assistant adjutant general. During the afternoon of the same day, I received a message from the general-imehief to the effect that be desired me to go at once to his house to see the President. The President informed me that he had reason to believe that the Army of the Potomac was not cheerfully co-operatin g with and supporting General Pope; that he had , always been a friend of mine, ,, and now asked me, as a special favor, to use my influence in correcting this state of things. I seplred, substantially, that I was confident he was misinformed; that I was sure, whatever estimate the Army of the Potomac might entertain of Gene ral Pope. they would obey his orders, support him to the fullest extent, and do their whole duty. The President, who was much moved, asked me to tele• graph to "Fitz John Porter, or some other of my friends," and try to do away with any feeling that might exist, adding that I could rectify the evil, and that no one eke could. 1 thereupon told him that I Would a - modally tele• graph to General Porter, er do anything else in my power to gratify his wishes and relieve hie anxiety; upon which he thanked me very warmly, assured me that be could never forget my aationlin the matter, ar.c., and left. " I then wrote the following telegram to General Porter, which wee cent to him by the General.in. chief. [This despatch and Porter's reply to it, came out in the Porter courtmartial. The amount of it is, McClellan urges the army, if it respects him, to tight well, and Porter assured him it would.] Neither at the time I wrote the telegram, nor at any other time did I think, for one moment, that General Porter bad been or would be in any manner derelict In the performance of his duty to the nation and its cause. Such an impression never entered my mind. The despatch in question was written purely at the request of the President. On the morning of the 2d the President and Gen. Halleek came to my house, when the President in formed me that Colonel Kelton had returned from the trent ; that our affairs were in bad , condition ; .that the army was in full retreat upon'the defences of Washington, the roads filled with stragglers, &c. He instructed me to tako steps at once to-stop and collect the stragglers ; to plane the works in a proper state of defence, and to go out to meet and take command of the army when it approached the Via cinity of the works, then to place the troops in the best position—committing everything to my hands. I Immediately took steps to carry out these orders, and sent an aid to General Pope, with the following letter HEADQUARTERS, WASHINGTON, Sept. 2, 1862. Major General John Pope, Commanding Army of Vir ginia: GENERAL : Gen. Halleok instructed me to repeat to you the order he sent this morning, to withdraw your army to Washington without unnecessary de lay. -He leered that his messenger might miss you, and desired to take this double precaution. . In order to bring troops upon ground with which they are already familiar, it would be be best to move Porter's corps upon Upton's Hui, that it may occupy Hall's Mill, &c. ; McDowell's to Upton's Hill ; Franklin's to the woika in front of Alexan dria ; Heintzelman's to the same vicinity ; Couch to Fort Corcoran, or, if practicable, to the Chain Bridge: Sumner either to Fort Albany or to Alexandra, as may be moat convenient..

Reuse amendment requiring investigation into contracts was adopted, and the resolution passed. Dtkonte oss the Sermton-ita. Oath of Office. COLLAMER, of. Vermont. proceeded to addrem the Senate at Meath, in support of the rule requiring Senators to take the prescribed oath. In order to under stand the true intent and meaning of the proposed rule of the Senate. it was necessary to take into consideration the contemporan GPM legislation, the mischief produced under the old law, and the remedies proposed by the new law. Tip to 1861 men had claimed seats here, who were plotting, during their term, to subvert and over throw the Government of the United States, who openly declared their purposes to this end. They defiantly and malignantly domineered over a majority of tee Senate, and finally undertook to carry into effect tee conspiracy they here concocted. The question before the Senate, was how the Senate, in the adoption of the new rnle, was to rid the senate of such men. and to keep them out ? Was the legislation of this Government to be put in the hands of men who boldly plot its destruction? Then, indeed, there was an end inf the Government. If the Constitution was so Darned ite to be subject to this in firmity, it was a total failure. The Senator from Dela ware had admitted that Congress had the power to define the qualifications of its members. He did not see why the Senate had not the power that State Legislatures had repeatedly exercised in this re spect Would the Senator object, under the old law, to take an oath that his age was sufficient to qualify him for a seat here? Would it not be as proper for the Senate to ask the Senator if he possessed the other re quisite qualifications as that? The law requiring the oath was an important one, and made no distinctions, and any breach of it would be penury, whereas with out the sanction of the law or /862, it would not be. The new law did not propose any new disqualifica tion, mid the Senator's objections esemed to apply solely to the manner of its application. Mr. COLL/121BR proceedeL at some length to argue that- the new rule did' not. as the Senator from Dela ware bad it, violate the amendment to the Constitution. This did not deprive a man of his DM, liberty. or pro ierty. He did not tee that this bill altered the quali fications prescribed in the Constitution. and he thought the time had come when the country should rely upon its own eti +meth, instead of upon the power of a few. great and brilliant men. Mr .ANTEMAY, of Illiode Island, did not propose to discuss this rule. It was based - upon the law 0f1.062, and bad been signed by the Execntive That was enough for him. In support of tne authority of the Senate to ettabibih such a rnie, he quoted from the opinion of Chief Justice Marshall in the case of McCulloch vs. the Mate of Maryland. He thought this conclusive. The oath which might be exacted. that of fidelity to the Constitution. is prescribed. and AO other can be re united. Yet lie would be charged with insanity who should contend that the Legislature. might hot super add to the oath directed by the. Constitution snub other oath of office its wisdom might' suggest. Mr. HENDRICKS. of Indiana, said that he took the oath when it was required of him, not because he thought it proper, but to silence the clamor that might arise if he refused. There was nothing particularly objectionable in it to him, but when the Senate proposed to make it the general rule, affecting all future applicants, he should oppose it. He thought that Whoever came duly qualified by his State, as a Senator. should be entitled to his seat on this Boor, and that the States had a rightto demand this. He contended that this oath put obstructions in the WRY of any feasible policy of reconstruction. He was heartily determined that none of the leaders ohhe rebel. lion should take seats again here. The end of the rebel lion wee an end of the leaders of the rebellion. They would, in the event of reconstruction; be too soliffitotut for their personal safety to urge claim for seats here. He argued that there were people in the seceded States Who had never sympathized with the acta of their lead ers. anti he would not have such persons treated as crim inals atter their return to allegiance. Mr. EBNDRICKe controverted at length the Presi dent's reconstruction policy. He could see no authority under the Constitution for the President to tear down the State fabrics ei steed under it. prior to the formation of the Federal compact. and to build up new. States on their ruins by the votes of one-tenth of their original in habitants. It was a cherished principle of the Ameri can people that the Government derived its powers from the consent of those governed. Now we are told that this power is to be derived from the consent of one-tenth of that number. In the name of his titatch he entered his protest against such a policy. The President propolted to take charge of ten States, with an army to second. him inferior to none ever possessed by any sovereign Power. Be trusted the time would never come when the people would be required to vote for the man in Power at his behest. He would have such a policy of reconstruction as would allow the return of the people of the seceded States into the Union as friends, and not as enemies. A message was received from the President, containing a [report of the Hon. Joseph A Wright. commissioner to the great fair held at Hamburg last year. The Presi dent suggests that a reasonable compensation be made to Mr. Wright. Referred to the Committee on Agricaltare. and ordered to be printed. The Senate then went into executive session, and aeon after adjourned. HOUSE OF EBFRESSNT.6.2I73S Mayan *triunes. 50RENcx, of Ohio, introduced a bill to amend the act establishing and equalizing the grade of hue officers of the navy, which was referred to the Committee on Naval Affairs. The Coniiiscation Act. Mr. STEVENS. of Pennsylvania. desired to postpone the further consideration of the pending business. namely—the joint resolutions amendatori of the conds cation act. During the incidental debate, Mr. VOORHEES. of In diana, said several !mitten:ten on his side of the House desi gentlemaness their views on this favorite measure of the Irons lowa. air. Wilson. They Intend to indulge in legitimate debate. and if they cannot have that willingly. they will have it by the privileges of the rules, 'with which they became familiar during the last Congress. Mr. WHAM, of lowa, replied that the joint resolution Was no favorite measure of hrs. It was the report of the Committee on the Indiciary. The House could take such a course as it might deem best, but he Would make no arrangement, nor would he be driven into one Ittr. VOORREkb. of Indiana, replied that they did not threaten: but bey understoood their rights, and were ree,dved to maintain them. SWEeT. of Maine. expressed his surprise that an attempt had been made to elide or abridge discussion on such an important question as that of contecation. He replied to the remarks heretofore made by Mr. Davis. of Maryland. earnestly denying that the minority came there to embarrass the Administration. and that they we re sent hither for that purpose by their emstititeets.

Mr WASHBURN& of Illinois, reminded the gentle. man that Mr. Davis was not now in his seat. Mr. COX, of Ohio. called Mr. Weeriburneto order. Mr. SWEAT remarked that it was the duty of Mr. Davis to be in his place. As to the latter charge that the minority of this Hones bad attempted to embarrass the Administration, and were sent here for that purpose, he (Mr. Sweat) would ray, before God and hie country, that abeprapose of hie heart and of his constituents was not to en barrens the administration. but to aid it in putting down rebell' on. The mtnority had shown each a patriotic disposition on this door. and had made no factious opposition. They had voted to aid the Government by tarnishing_ men and moans to an unlimited extent to end the war. In farther replying to Mr. Davis. he alluded to the fart that the first blood was shed in the streets of Baltimore, while the Mnapachnsetts troops were passing through to defend the PI evident and the capital, and to protest the laws and reserve the Constitution.: The gentleman from Marys that latitude, A nd he understood if there std frin a o fair and fai r vote in the Fourth die irict c f Maryland, some other gentleman would now be in Gist member's lace.

CaNNELL reviewed at length the action of the Senate since the opening of the session, and contrasted the course of the administration Senators, who had made every effort to proceed to business, with that of the Democrats, who had opposed the consideration of every measure. however important or necessary; and in reference to the charge of usurpation by Speaker Pen ney, concluded thus: and you, Mr. Speaker, when seen by Senators from that stand-point which has of late been denominated the "Southern hider of the Chamber," as they raise their glasses dimmed wih ecednts and. obwebs of seventy years. you, t sir, must mo y st p s ingu l ar to say , appear in the character of a usurper! I congratulate an, upon yonri good fortune. Inevery State, from the days of Miltiades to the present hour. every states man who has firmly resisted anarchy, who has shut the door upon contusion, who has repressed the tendency of the fierce democracy to unlicensed disorder, and who has prevented the excesses of revolution by a constant adherence to fixed principles and. unswerving admi nistration of office—every such has been stigmatized as a tyrant or a usurper. The tyrant of the Chersonese Wee freedom's truest friend;" - - and ihe usurper of the preeent hour will be gratefully remembered hereafter as the Speaker of the Senate of Pennsylvania, who fearlessly exploded a mischievous donna, dangerous to the peace of the State, fraught with evil. and which, under leis favorable circumstances, might convulse the Commonwealth with all the miseries of civil war. Mr. WALLACE replied, endorsing the position of the Dem-viers. The debate was further continued by Messrs. Connell, Wallace. Turrell, Fleming, and Kinsey. On proceeding to the second reading of the resolution, the ayes were 14. the nays 14—so the resolution was lost. ♦ communication was received from the Governor. stating that he commieeloned the following named: Attorney General—William M Meredith. Secretary of Commonwealth—Eli Slifer. Deputy Secretary w Commonwealth—W. H..A.rmetrotm. The Governor also transmitted the following to the Senate: Interest on the State Debt. GENTLE:III:N : I feel It my duty to invite your attention to the necessity of prompt legislation on the subject of the payment of the interest which will fall due Feb. let. It is understood that the banks at the large contras: cial Points in th 2 State have so reduced their circulation that they can at time redeem it in COLE. and will no doubt do e.o If the act of 1862 is left in force. This will leave feW or no banks subject to that act, except thew in the into nier. whose circulation is large, and who cannot redeem it. To apportion the premiums in gold, in the half .years interest, would probably render them bankrupt. and would not procure thenecessary amount. Going - Into more detail than was necessary in my annual message, I would observe that the interest on certain loans, and a small amount (say less than VI 600,000) it, by the pro•le slims at the acts creating them, required to be paid in erecle. These are called the Inclined Plane Loan, and the Coupon Loans, and they were created under the acts of April 10th, 1619, April 2d, 1.5.53 May 4th, 1853, and April. 19th, 3803. The annual interest on them is less than 6330.0011 This I recommend to be paid in coin or its equivalent, so as not to show an unwillingness; to corn. Ply with even an obligation that might be considered doubtful. 1 cannot, however, omit calling your attention to the fact that the insertion in the acts referred to of the etipa lation for payment of interest in specie, appears to de monstrate that the construction pat by me on the extent of the obligation ender the other loan acts not contain ing such stipulati-n is correct. he loans under the last-mentioned acts form the greatumee of our publie.debt. and amount to more than $33,000.000. The balance in the Treasury on the let of November last was loss than $2.200,000. To pay the in terest on February Ist in coin will require snore than Si!, 500460, and on the let of March the eum tc be Paid to the banks un their specie ceraticates, under the act of - Jan. 30th, 1863. will, at the present price of gold, be more than $1,000,000. This will probably exhaust the funds of the Commonwealth, and leave the Treasury for the time without the means to defray the ordinary expenses of government, to say nothing of the large, extraordinary payments already directed by law. I do again most earnestly recommend. immediate action on the aubject A. if CUSTIZT. Mr CHAMPNEYS moved to print two thousand five hundred and fifty copies of the above in English, and fifteen hundred in German. Lott—ayes 14. noes 14. Mr. ConliELL offered the following • Resolved. That the State Treasurer be directed to pay tee interest falling due on the Met of February next, In the lawful cnrrenoe of the Government collected of the people for taxes, and now in his hands, except only the interest on the leans known as the Inclined Plane and Coupon Loans. - The ayes were 14, noes 141 so the resolution was lost. Mr. WILSON offered a resolution, that the Auditor Ge neral be requested to furah the names and residences of holders of State securiTies, on which the interest is payable in gold said ebruary let.. Lost—ayes 14. noes 14. Mr. HIGBEE (before the vote was taken), that the Democrats, for the purpose of acting legally upon this important matter, were willing to unite with the Repub licans, and elect a Speakerpro tempove. He agreed, moreover, that the Republicans should name the pro Um. Speaker. Mr. WILSON said that there was no power to do any such thing, and asked where it was authorized, .adjourned. • The Houle met at 11 o'clock A.
