Correspondence from the camp 1 , of Feb. ,6
abd 7, states that the snow had almost disap
peared, for the time; and the’ thermometer,
about noon, reached 52°. Fuel tor cooking
was still scarce, indeed almost wanting. ‘ A
kind of low fevef wos rather prevalent in
both camps. The Provost-Marshal had all
his energies at work seeking out a gang of
marauders, - who bad murdered and robbed an
officer’s servant. Continual skirmishes took
place between (he French and Russians. The
Russians, in sinking a countermine, had come
ipto the gallery,of a French mine and blown
it up,'killing the French'officer of engineers
and sortie 'of his-men. Next day the French
took) tpeir revetrge by opening a masked bat
tery df grape upon a Russian sortie pnhy,
killing and wounding 200 to 300. The Rail
way “navies” (labordrs)'nre busy breaking
ground; 'Russian deserters report that'there
is abundance of provisions and' ammunition

"■raki.” Curing the night of February the
Bth, tt tremendous cannonade was made along
(he whole of the Russian lines, but no attack.

ing worth reporting. Op that day—the 10tl)
—Lord Raglan telegraphs that large convoys,
apparently of sick men, were nioving out df
Sevastopol, and equally large convoys of sup
plies were moving in. The Russians within
the city appeared to be breaking up hulks in
the arconnl, and using'She materials for plot
forms and chndtix-dc-frisi at the battery
.‘du Mat.” The British were proceeding with"
ha armament df their works; the’health of
the’ffrmy was bettor; forage" was the chief
want.
On the 12th, Oen. Pelissier (is reported to
to Pan’s that no successful

on the 34 Sept.- last-and passed the series of
Resolutions lo which:.yoU'tefpr r and was presi

on was also "present—-he was a substitute fox
a delegate, who.had. been elected to represent
Upper Swatara lownshipt .
To jour Ist Jnlerrogotory,~“Were those
resolutions prepared by, ; Simon Cameron?” —
1 answer, I do not ttopw; but their'existence
was first publicly made known to the copvon
vention by Simon Cameron announcing that
there was a gentleman present" who had res
olutions prepared, and therefore .it would nei
ther be necessary to appoint a committee on
resolutions, nor for the convention to meet,in
the afternoon, os they could be. immediately
acted ,pn,„ .

passed?”, i answer, they were. .It,-is prop
er to . soy here-, that after 'Simon Canicrop
made,the|.annunciation that a gentleman pres
ent hud resolutions prepared, and was again
seated, some minutes passed without any mo
tion being made. 1 then slated that I had
resolutions, which I begged leave to ofiur;
whereupon the chair, at tho instance of Si

objectipnable .features said to have been en
graved on flip, bill pf iast winter, by which
tpeans thy .fictitious 1 majority had been ob
tained against the.measure.
r ftlr., Carlisle explained his position. He
felt .himself bound by the recent vote of the
peopje. of the. Stale, not his county, for obe-|
dieiice to that would involve special legisla
tion, to which he was opposed. The amend
ment'pending wou|d make the bill strictly pro
hibitory. in its character. This he believed
tbe.majority of the people did not desire, and
he.pould hot support.
Mr, Chamberlin said the bill did not go as
far as, he was.ready to go; but its passage
: would be a step in the right and he
would support ii, hoping for the speedy arri
val of the lime when mom radical measures
.could be adopted. . ' .
, Mr, Thorp said if the amendment was vo
tied down, be hoped no more propositions of
!the. kiud. would be .offered. He came here,
pledged to vole proliibiiifon, and ho thought
bo was redeeming this pledge by voting for
this amendment. lie believed no other op
portunity would beplfercd for a direct vole on
the principle.of prohibition. *
Mr. Johnson doubled whether this bill
•would pass; and believed the outside pres
sure would effect its defeat,.after it had pro
gressed further. Our criminal laws should
be made as-definite ns possible; and he
thought the words “profit and advantage”
should be struck out as too indefinite.
A. motion, was made tp add a new section
exempting several-counties from the opera
tion of the law. * i
Mr. Fry said, ra offering to exempt Mont
gomery county Irorrj the provisions of this
■ bill, ho, as well as 'others asking the same
favor, felt they had a right in behalf of their
constituents to claim ibis much for them.
Tho Legislature last winljfr notified the peo
ple, they should decide at the election
whether they wanted n prohibitory liquor
law. The people apied, and their verdict is
before us. They rejected the proposition.—
The. Maing law men npw claim to.have a ma
jority of.districts, and the consequent right to
act. Now sir, if you have a majority of dis
tricts, and you claim ,lho right of a law upon
that issue, hike it to your own districts if you
want it; but give those districts who don’t
want it the same privilege,
Mr, Edinget hoped the new section would
be adopted. "His constituents did not desire,
this law,, nor did the constituents of other
members who ligd claioied exemption from
its operation. In Npyy York the Legislature
gave each township, the privilege of voting
for or against the licence system. Ue hoped
the counties named would be excepted.
Mr. Christ thought the section ought to
prevail, as requested by members represent
ing constituencies which bad cast a majority
| of. yules against prohibition. He represented
a bounty which had.given,a majority of near
(lyfliOOO against prohibition.; pnd ha was op :

isliluency, to which they,had expressed deci

be against: it-
Mr. Kirkpatrick said, lie hoped the section
would be voic'd down. It was an artful effort
to defeat the bill; as the bill would then con
tain special legislation, which would receive
the executive veto.
Mr. Dunning acted on this bill, independ
ently xif apy vole of the people. He was
opposed to forcing this bill on counties wljich
were opposed to it. And unless this section
was adopted, he would be compelled to op
pose the bill. The vole of last fall had no
’ reference-to a bill like this, and it would have
no bearing on his conduct. Cut he was
bound to .support the section. He did not be

of intemperance—but, on the other hand,
i Wjpuld open the flood-gates id the vice which

Mr. Orr said, that dt the .laid election for
’.representatives in Franklin county, no ques
tions wore risked, by the temperance meg of
the .candidates, the understanding being, that
the.voie.df the people would be carried out.
That county fiad given a majority of seven

Casting a “Devil” out of Cbnrcli.
.. A Methodist Minister Arrestedfor Assult
ing a Distiller.. —We are indebted to our
friend, J. M. Eells, of Marietta, Ohio, for
the following graphic sketch. We are as
sured that the facts transpired substantially
as narrated:
“A. Methodist clergyman, who has been la
boring in ibis vicinity, was, not long since
preaching to his people on the miraculous
power of the Apostles over the demoniac
spirits of their day. As he was pursuing his
theme, the audience were suddenly startled
by a voice from some one in the congregation,
demanding, in a half-querulous, haU’-aulhori
live tone, ’“Why don’t preachers do such
things now a days 1” In an instant, every
eye in the house was turned upon r lbe indi
vidual who had the effrontery thus to evade
the sacredness of the sanctuary,
. The speaker paused for a moment, and
liked his penetrating gaze full upon the face
of the questioner. There was an interval
of intense silence, broken at last by the
speaker in resuming his subject. He had
not proceeded far with his remarks, before
he was again interrupted by the same imper
tinent inquiry. Again he paused for a lime,
again resumed his subject. Not content with
a silent rebuke, our redoubtable questioner
demanded again, “Why don’t the preachers
do such things now-a-dnys ?” and curling
ids lips with a sneer of self-complacency,
drew himself up pompously in his seal.
“Our reverend friend, (who, by [fie way,
is a young man of great muscular power,)
calmly left the desk, and walked deliberate
ly jo the pew, where t\ie interrogator sat,' apd
fastening one hand firmly upon the collar of
hislcoal, and the other on the waistband of
his “unmentionables,” lifted him square out
of the seal and bore him down the aisle to
the entrance. ' Pausing for a moment there,
he turned his eyes upon his audience, and in
a clear, full voice, said, “and they cast out
the devil in the form of a distiller,'' and
suiting the action to the word, out went the
knight of the mash-tub, a la leap frog fash
ion, into the street.
“The good pastor quietly returned to his
desk, and completed his discourse. After
closing the services, as he Was passing out of
thd church the out cast distiller with ad offi
cer of the law, escorted our clerical friend to
the office of a magistrate, to answer for an
assault upon 4the person' of said distiller.—
After hearing the case the magistrate dis
missed the clergyman, and after roandly'>e
priihanding the complaint, fined him for mo
lesting the services of the sanctuary;
“Since that day we believe He has never
for a moment doubted the potvor of Hie Meth
odist preachers, to cast out devils, at least,
within the limits of the Ohio Conference.—
