Se'C'retary SEWARD contends that our ob
jection to the exercise by England of her
right, under the state of facts then existing,
to concede the privileges of belligerency to
the Confederate States, is one that we can
not abandon without prejudice to - our na
tional honor. yet he does not undertake to
deny that the' 'Federal power at •an early
hour in the rebelliOn yielded to necessity,
and under that compulsion, the inevitable
requirements of the situation, also ackuowl

immunities of belligerency.

11. mum PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICAN
STATE CONVENTION of 1860, MT. 310,EROW
B. Lowny, of Erie; acting in behalf of the
supporters of Mr. SEVION CAMEILON, offered a
resolution for the appointment of a Commit
itee, consisting of three=members, to frame
an Electoral,ticket. to nominate the entire
delegation from the Comnionwealth to the
National Convention at:Chicago, and. bind
ing the delegation so *appointed to cast an
unanimous vote ~for Mr. CAMERON as the
candidate for the Presidency. The adop
tion of this resolution was strenuously re
sisted by all the friends of Mr. Alvnarm G.
CunTLN, in that body, ourselves among the
number. After a protracted' and warm
struggle, the respective districts were allow
ed to select their own delegates"and eleetorg.
A separate resolution was then carried
through instructing the delegates to vote as
annit for Mr. Cascanom
When the delegation met at Chicago the
effect of this resolution was' "nought under
consideration. Mr. ".A.NDIZET7 It. REEDER.,
from the Eleventh district, insisted that the
delegation was under obligations to go in a
solid body for Mr. CANrFnnzi. 'Considering
that Mr. CAAXESON, at . that. time, had very
- few supporters in that district; that the other
three delegates from it were all oppiased to
Mr. CsatEnow; that in that *oPposition they
reflected truly the wishes of their constiti
eats; and that Mr:lliatom had been made

MR JOICSSON'S VERACITY.
As Military Governor of Tennessee, mr.
JpITS'sON made teri• grave charges against
General BUELL, then Commanding thd Ar-
my_ of, tliii Ohio, and finally succeeded in
procuring his removal froni that command.
A commission subsequently met, at Nash
to investigate these chargeS and it wits
found that!they *ere very difficult to proVe.
Mr. JonssON,,was called upon - to testify. buf
tiffs he'declined doing, altfiough every effort
was made to procure his 'attendance. In;
these efforts, says a writer: ,
; The Judge Advocate was aided by Gen.
Buell, who said openly, that Andrew John-
son would never dare swear in his presence
to what he had publicly asserted. At last
the pressure became so strong that Andrew
Johnson fled to Washington -to escape
thrther.process. - To Washington the Judge
AdVocate follOWed, the reluctant. Witness,
•an'd succeeded at Wit in procuring a sworn .
Statement very much softened from that
niade by the same Johnson through the Rev.
Col. MoOdy, President Lincbln, and the
press . generally. Thi4 affidavit the Com
missioir treated with deserved contempt, and.
General Buell, before. the CominissiOn, in
his published defense, denonneed= it as false
in every particular. It became evident to
'slhe Commission that Andrew Johnson was
• as deficient in courage as lie. was devoid of
trnthfulneSs. ' But the confiding Judge Ad
vocate: still havirig a remnant of confidence
in the noisy demagogue, urged him, afterhe.
became acting President, to open the con. ,

younT, man IS now stopping at the - Key
City House, by the name of George W. Par
::ter„, whose parents, brothers, sisters: and
relatives, -were, all murdered at Redwood,
'Minnesota, in the great Indian massacre of
1861. He is the sole survivor, and was the
only one left to communicate the mournful
intelligence to the nearest settlement.
Bereft - in one brief hour of all that he held
dear on earth, and with the victims ti
of savage ferocity extended in death before
him, took a solemn vow Ofvengeance. How
well he has performed that vow, the reader--
may judge when we state that in six years
young Porter has,- 'alone, and with the
assistance of nothing bitt his trusty rifie, - Sent
to the happy hunting grounds the souls of
one hundred and eight Indian braves. He
carries a piece of canebreak, . about twelve
inches in length, and whenever he killed an
'lndian he would make a notch in this One
hundred and eight notches are now to be
counted on the piece of bane alluded!to,Alie
last one being cut on Christmas, 1866. Surely
Yonng,Porter has been an avenging Neme
sis on the. fooistepi of those who slaughtered
:his kindred. The • Indians
.em
brace . representatives from nearly every
tribe the._ plains. By night and
by day he has followed , them tbrOugh.
the trackless forests, over desert wastes, by
the mountain Side and in the lonely glenhas;
he pursued his victims until the crack of the ,
rifle and the death yell proclaimed that •an- •
other redskin hail been sent to his final 'ac
count, and sated with blood the vengeance
of his- pursuer. Porter had not passed
through all these perilous scenes unscathed.
His body has been riddled by eleven bullets
and stabbed in thirty-three places by , the
knife. But he has withstood all, come. out
victorious, and now exhibits with pride the
trophies of his prowess. Truly his parents
and relatives have been deeply, terribly
avenged..
Colonel. Rose Assmilts a Witness,Who Tes-d

The following from the - Richmond (V n.)
-Dispatch, of the 12th inst., will be read
with interest by ninny people of this city,
where Colonel Thomas E. Rose is so well - 1
; known :
"Our readers will remember Brevet Cot:
Thomaa E. Rose, Captain of the Eleventh
United States Infantry and Superintendent .
of the election in this , city for members of
the State Convention, and that chargea Were
preferred against him .• for unfairness and
conduct unbecoming an officer and a:gen
tleman. He appeared before a Court of In
quiry convened to `investigate the charts.
After a patient hearing the - Court sent their
opinion of the case to General Sehofield,
who, in an order sent to the Convention,
announced that the Court had declared • the
Colonel to be innocent of some of the_
charges. :Before the Court appeared .a num-I
-
her of our most respectable citizens, who
testified to the truthfulness of some of the
charges. Among these gentlemen was Mr.
William jr . Fleigenheimer.
After the adjoarnment of the court Col.•
Rose left for Lynchburg, to . ‘rhich place his
company had been previously sent. A few
days since he returned, and late Monday
evening met Mr. Fleigenheimer on the steps
of the Exchange Hotel: The Colonel int-.
mediately commenced a tirade of ahuse
against Mr. F., saying that he had testified
falsely, and that he could whip him and all
other witn&ses whose testimony Was to the
same effect, all of Whom, he asserted, lad
perjured ihemselves. The Colonel's wrath
got the better of him, and he drew his Pistol
and was about to cart-, his threat into eke
cation. He was calmed, and Mr. F. Went
tb Gen. Schofield and complained of the Col- .
Otters conduct. The General told Mr. F. to
have his charges put in writing. and he
Would. have them investigated. Thus the
matter stands. ' •
