The course of this gentlemae in the United States Senate, in a speech which he delivered the other day, is not as remarkable, nor should its perusal prove as startling, as it has proven to the country. If tho:e who have steadily watched the progress of this rebellion from its development during the last days of the En channan dynasty, will call to mind their re membrance of the tone and temper of the news papers that advocated the election of John C. Breckinridge to the Presidency, they will be re minded that the present position of the Ex-vice President is a necessity made paramount in or d,r to preserve his cotsistency. Immediately after the passage of the fugitive slave law, the determination speedily to dismember the Union was entered into, because the operations of that law were not as cordially secmded by the peo ple of the free states as the lordiiegs and bar terers in human flesh in the slave states desired. John C. Breckinridge was a party to that de termination, and he has steadily kept its pur pose in view from the hour of its conception, until he conceived the treasonable sentiment he recently uttered on the floo_ of the Senate. The sentiments thus uttered were neiter new, forced or original. They have been proclaimed by every Breckenridge newspaper of the north and west, and have formed the key note of any, quantity of editorials in the columns of our neighbors of the Fatriol and Union And the co-incidence in Oat; connection will irresistibly lead the thinking portion of the people of this country to the conclusion, that the r: hellion at the south was not confined in its secret deliber ations to the people of that region. It was not in their hearts and minds that it alone origi nated—but that it was entered into by the lol lowersof John C. Breckinridge in the north, - who have been persistently engaged in assail ing the government in all its efforts to quell this rebellion. The-idea that there is no power in this gov erument, specially created and organised for its self-preservation, is simply ridiculous. It is absurd and insane for any man, even an august Awesican Senator, to proclaim such a notion. If the government has no authority to punish treason, it has no power to enforce any of its laws, and exists only by the consent of the mi nority. If a majority of people, constitution ally accepted and fairly meeting in a legal and peaceable manner, cannot. prefer whom they xtlease to govern, then of course the minority must rule, and all law, obligation and order lose t sir fume and effect in the stipulations and powers of the p:.vernment, and the will of the majority may be set aide whenever a mi nority choose to object to its justice or impar tiality. This is the spirit in which John C. Breckinridge argues when he oppo. , cs the efforts of the administration to enforce the laws. It is the dogma on which this rebellion is founded, when they resist the federal authority merely because it is vested in the hands of a man who is. to themselves personally and politically ob noxiouS. Mr. Breckinridge claims for the trai tors prerogatives and a pre-eminence which only could einanate, from a man who sincerely sym pathless in their efforts of treason, and who is in heart and soul wedded to their cause. The man is 4 traitor who in any manner attempts to excuse treason or extenuate the conduct of traitors. This is as applicable to John C. Breck- I inridge as it is to the organs in-the north who have been defending his positions and advocat ing his princ'ples, and the sootier the applica tion is made, and these men sternly held to their self-abnegations and responsibilities in the po!itions they have so brazenly assumed, the better for the country, the better for mankind, and the better for the cause of civil and reli gious liberty throughout the world. Suppose this man had, by some accident, been chosen to the Chief Magistracy. Where would now have been the Union, where the government, where the nation ? What would now have been the history of the great republic during the last three months ? Either Jefferson Davis and his crew would have been snugly seated iu the plac:s of power at Washin, , ften, the constitution overturned completely, and the men of the north trampled upon as slaves ; or else this imposing, this noble, this mighty edifice of freedom which we have reared, would have been. broken, like the structures of antiquity powering the sands of Egypt, into a thousand pieces. God be praised that is His divine good. 'less He abandoned us to no such calamity ! TOM DEATH Or ELIZABETIT BARRETT BROMTING bas cast the literary circles of two hemispheres into the deepest gloom. She was the greatest of English female poets, and in her death Ita lian freedom and the universal liberty of man have lost their noblest poet-advocate; . one young son is motherless ; England sees Tenny son sitting alone on the throne of her bardslaip, and Robert Browning is widowed of a woman who was as nearly one soul with him as ever ' happens to the marri-d in this life. THE 17.4.SHINGTON correspondent of the Phila• de]phia North Anicricrin says that Gen. Scott commends heartily the wisdom and foresight of Gov. Curtin, who, it must be admitted, de serves much praise for having got ready for service so valuable an addition to the grand artny of the Union now in the field. The ac tivity, zeal, and devotion to the cause necessary to the speedy and - thormigh organization of fif teen full" regiments can only be appreciated by t hose who have been engaged in the . work. SECRETARY CAMERON AND THE WAR DEPARTMENT. Under this beading, the Wampum Rem, one of the leading Republican organs in the state of Wisconsin, discusses at great length the practi cal ability and statesmanlike foresight with which Gen. Cameron controls and carries for ward the stupendous operations of the War Des partment. We extract only such paragraphs from this able article as we know will be perused with gratification by the people of Pennsylva nia, in whose name we thank our western co temporary for joining in that generous meed of praise which is on the lips of every loyal man in the-Union, for a citizen and a statesman of whom the people of Pennsylvania are as proud as they are of their own ancient renown and integrity. The following extract will suffice to show how highly Gen. Cameron is esteemed by the people of Wisconsin, as reflected through the columns of one of their leading newspapers ; Since Gen. Cameron entered upon the dis charge of his duties as Secretary of War, aided by the efficient counsel of Gen. Scott, two grand features have presented • themselves to our naiad, in his administration of this depart ment—decision and rapidity of action. In the short space of two and and a half months he has calmed together and disciplined an army of nearly one hundred thousand men ; and this army will prove the wise policy of the Depart ment, upon the field of battle, when the coun try demands such service at their hands. Any other course than that so wisely pursued, would have been suicidal and madness in the sacrifice of human life, and could not have failed to bring down the just indignation of an outraged people, of which we have a striking example la toe ill-fated Chesapeake. But not. withstanding the eamors of a dastardly spirit of fault-finding, Gen. Cameron has dared to do his duty to the country and the army, with a decision and firmness which cannot fail to com mand the respect of a 1 true patriots and .hon orable men. Besides, the rapid concentration of such an army has had the effect to secure the respect of foreign nations, and to cause them, if not to actually support our national policy in this un fortunate war, to refrain from any step which I would have a tendency to recognize the nation ality of the rebel and confederate traitors. It is said of Wellington, the Iron Duke of the British. Empire, whose generalship will hardly be disputed by the wiseacres, who thus really seek to iofiuence public opinion against the ad- I rninis-tration and its patriotic poicy, that he sometimes suffered most valuable of opportuni ties fur battle, and brilliant victories even, to pass unheeded, when the enemy could not es cape time power he was concentrating upon them. And we conceive it to be one feature in the art of war, of good generalship to ever have in view the lives of the men entrusted to his barge. Wellington waged a battle, save hu man life, but an army surrendered to hie power. Senator Cameron occupies to-day, in the Cabi net, the position of a Wellington in the field ; and, with re decision and firmness adequate to the terrible crisis which has ca led out the im mense powers of his great mind, he labors, with an untiring energy, almoet day and night, to carry out the grand purposes of tne ...amt.- istr,tion to the best interests of our common toun try. His labors are more than quadruple that of any of his predecessors ; and yet, by able man agement and perfect system, it is performed successfully. He found the department what the traitor Floyd had left it—embarrassed. robbed, degraded and disgraced—he has raised it to the dignity of its just importance. Noe let us ask, if there is a man who cau demand more ? or who will dare ask the question sug gested ? Let us first say, our country is right and those who admin ster the government are true, ca pable and honest ! Then we shall find no room to challenge the frit hful performance of duties the sovereign people have entrusted to their care. A correct principle of interpretati rn or public matters and nation d policy, will be thus engendered in the spirit of a true patriotism, and this editorial generalship will have ceased to disturb and annoy the public mind. We regard the administration of the war de partment, un ler Senator Cameron, as the most brilliant and powerful the country has ever had; and to-day, it is creating a history of which posterity will be justly proud—a history which will place the name of Simon Cameron high among statesmen and patriots, whose name and services we delight to honor. "GENER_AL" CORRESPONDENCE. As Lieutenant General Scott is getting a little old, the people will be rejoiced to hear that he is about to be superseded. We learn upon the "highest authority" (a Washington letter writer) that the control of the grand army is to be entrusted to the guidance of that thorough ly informed, thoroughly trained, all-sufficient, self-sufficient commander, "Gleneral" Corro pondent. This change, we understand, (upon the same high authority,) is demanded by the people. Change, did we say ? The change will not be great. It is, of course, well known by all who read the letters of Washington correspondents, that everything that has been really and pro perly done, has been done by "General" Cor respondent, Didn't he say an wrap must be raised ? And it was raised. Didn't he say it must be fed? And it was fed. Didn't he say we must have battles in Missouri and Western Virginia ? And we have had them. Didn't he say, only yesterday morning, that "the army does not move," and, "intending no disrespect to Lieutenant General Scott,", it "must move on toward Richmond ?" Now, the telegraph informs us this morning that it did move yes terday. Witness the intimation and immediate relation of cause and effect ! Behold the om niscient, omnipresent and omnipotent power of Brevet-General Correspondent 1 ENGLISH PRESS. We extract the following from the Afenchester Examiner of the 2d inst. Its justice to and ap preciation of our great military leader are in striking, contrast with some of the press of New York, whose recklessness of censure, we are persuaded, finds no sympathy in the great American. heart. IN the events which are comprised in the latest batch of American news, the balance of success leans decisively in favor of the north. The abandonment of Harper's Ferry is a tribute to the strategic skill of General 6cott, and Is justly rated as equivalant to a victory. The best feature in the military operations of the federal forces is the prudence which was shown in abstaining from a direct attack on that posi don. A general whose zeal outran his know ledge, or who had but an imperfect command over his troops, would probably have lent him self to the national enthusiasm by flinging against the enemy the first powerful force he could collect. General Scott has resisted the eagerness for action usually characteristic of iY leviedpopularly 'organized forces. annaadtihas and been more anxious to complete a suc cessful campaign than to win a single battle. I hi patience and OAS self-commandharmotthe with what we have been told of-his abilities and prove him to be a formidable tiaitagonisti; Penneguania geltfiraPb, eibursttap 21fttrttoon, liutp 18, 1861. By a seri s of well concerted movements,' di rected from opposite points, he placed the seces sionists at Harper's Ferry in imminent danger of being cut off from their main body, and so compelled them, either to await an attack which was almost certain to end in total defeat, or to shift their quarters. They wisely prefer red the latter alternative, and have gone to swell the large force which still holds its ground at Manassas. It is likely that similar tactics will be brought to bear upon this position. 'The place is described as destitute of natural de fences, and might be attacked with less risk than would have been encountered at Harper's Ferry, but, as General Scott has a dislike to bloodshed when he can do without it, he will probably try what effect will be produced by threatening their communication with the capi tal of Virginia, and so cutting them off from the south. If they should make up their minds a second time to retreat, their next position will, in all probability, be somewhere in the neighborhood-of Richmond, and President Davis may have to mount his war horse, and fight for his future capital, about the time fixed for the assembling of the southern congress in that The same paper contains an earnest and well reasoned appeal to the people of Great Britain by Peter Sinclair, the well known temperance advocate, who has just returned to England from this country. He closes his letter as follows : "I appeal to the people ; I appeal to both Houses of Parliament, to speak out plainly. -Let our neutrality be clearly and strictly ob served ; but let all the moral weight of a great, free and sympathising nation be cast on the aide of liberty ; and let all the world know that such is the fact. Let it be placed on record, that present and future generations may see that iu a struggle between despotism and liber ty Great Britain can only be found on one side ; and that the side of liberty." Correspondence of the Telegraph.] The rumors of war and the facts of the war, which stir the enthusiasm and arouse the mar tial spirits of other sections and localities, have also their influence upon the people of this re gion, however secluded we may be from the rest of the world, and however surrounded we are with the prospects and the invitations of peace, the presence of God in our health and strength, and His goodness and bounty, in the abundant harvest that is about being gathered and garnered. We feel here that a mighty struggle is in progress for the right, for the right of existence in a Union doubly glorious as the emblem of our strength and the palladium of our moral, social and national power. We feel that as tills struggle progresses, our hopes rise and fall as the contest turns on the triumph or defeat of thole who are battling for the Union. We could not feel otherwise as loyal citizens, as men loving the country of our birth and adoption, and as fathers and brothers having those we love in the ranks of the federal army, fighting gallantly for the federal Union. The crops this year will equal the most abun dant yield of any former season, both in quart ti iy and quality. The wheat crop is particular ly superior, and thii fact, at this particular period, will be cheering news to the friends of law and order. With good mope vlrCr the loyal states, with the inexhaustible abundance of the west joining its force and influence to the various resources of the north and east, that are now just being gathe , ed in such rich plenty, our troops in the field will be easy to maintain, and the burdens of war be counted as any of the other common items of expenses in a good and reliable governm,nt. In this respect, our condition contrasted with that of the south, presents the favorable and the cheering differ ence, that while we are steadily puratting th: various avocations of trade, business, labor and industry, and still maintaining a battle to pre -erve the Union, the south, in their efforts to destroy the Union, are compelled to change the culture of their soil from cotton to corn—are forced to borrow money on the most ruinous rates of interest—and withal are placing them selves in the positions of traitors, liable at'any moment to meet death at the point of a sabre or bayonet, or the end of a noosed and knotted rope. After one of our neighbors and most extEn sive farmers, John SW. eney, had finished cut ting his grain and placing it in clocks, the boys in the field concluded to raise the stars and stripes. With us here in the mountains, such a resolve is more difficult to carry out, than it is with the people in the cites.. Bat our boys Were not to be deterred, and a flag was raised, higher than any (Ali& banner in the good old state of Pennsylvania, and blessed too; with as fervent and as patriotic prayers as that of any starry flag in the loyal states. R. W. Thomp son, addressed the harvest lads in a strain of, eloquence peculiar to the squire, rich, fervid and strong in common sense, reason and patri otism. Take the assurance, and - print the fact, that the people of this region have abated noth ing in their devotion and love for the Union since the first blow was given to it by the rebels while firing on Fort Sumter. When our harvest is gathered our boys will be ready to go forth for the purpose of gathering, gar nering and threshing rebels. J. G. L. TER COrroN CaOwzr —A. report from Fedi Is that the agents of the southern confederacy have formally m ide'a proposition in writing to young Captain Bonaparte, formally ol Balti more, to accept the position of Military: Dicta tor of the southern confederacy,: with a crown at his dizpo:al, whenever he may deem it ne tessary to assume the dignity. The commis sioners belong to the extreme southern party, which is a long way in advance of the general sentiment in the south. They, belong to the knot of politicians who have assumed to rule politics in the cotton states, and whose views of a splendid confederacy "on - a military basis with a suffrage largely, restricted," have: been so frequently reflected is De Bow's Review. Their feeling is decidedly in favdr of a southern monarchy, and they thought thercould get the French Emperor's support by this little temptation offered to this American rele, , ion, thry would doubtless not hesitate to hold out the tempting offer. Mr. Russell has just re corded the fact that the cotton aristocracy as sured him that they were ready to accept one of the scions of the royal stern of England, and now we have a report that the, French Empe ror's cousin is approached in the same way.

PLEASANT GAP, July 15, 1861 BY TELEGRAPH. TEE GRAND ARMY. ARRIVAL FAIRFAX COURT ROUSE. RETREA t OF THE REBELS. Occupation of the Town by the Fed eral Troops. WABE{LVGTON, July 17-10 P.M Our skirmishers reached Fairfax Court House at half past eleven A. M., and the advance guard entered thevillage exactly at noon. Trees had been felled across the road at three points to obstruct the march, but they proved feeble impediments. Half a mile this side of Fairfax an embankment had been thrown up across the road, a halt mile in length, with embrasures for four or five guns, and sand-bag protections; but no guns h.id been mounted. There were no pit-falls or masked batteries. The pickets this side'of Fairfax retired this morning about one hour only before the head of the column came in sight, leaving the grain bags out of which their horses were fed, and the Federal troops fed their horses out of the same bigs. This morning the Confederate troops at Fair fax were drawn upon the west side of the town, and the people expected that a battle would certainly take place , but at 9 A. M., they made a precipitate retreat, leaving five quarters of fresh beef, shovels, spades,tools,camp furniture, etc., behind them in their haste. The entry of the Federal troops into Fairfax is said by those gentlemen to have been inspir ing beyond description. The main street was filled, as far as the eye could reach, with the soldiers marching with fixed bayonets and load ed guns, cheering for the Union, and the bands playing the Star-Spangled Banner. . As soon as the6,ooo infantry in the column had passed, the cavalry which were in the rear— the artillery being in front—dashed through the town on a gallop, and endeavored to over take the retreating Confederates. They follow ed the road four miles towards Centreville, but the great heat preventing a forced march of the infantry, they returned. It is understood that Centreville is to be de fended by the rebels, and that Gen. McDowell will march on it to-morrow. The other col• umns of the advancing army are north and south of Fairfax. A few buildings were burned by the federal troops a mile beyond Fairfax on ac count of a rumor that a soldier had been fired on by them. - - No buildings had been burned at Fairfax, al though the soldiers in the first flush of excite ment had seized many things in and about the houses, most of which were deserted by their owners. • General McDowell was, however, placing guards all over the town. Colonel Marston, of the New Hampshire Sec ond, placed a guard around the court-house building as soon at he entered the town. LATEST FROM WASHINGTON, YirasuttanoN, July 18.—P. M. Nothing reliable or official has been received from Fairfax up to noon to-day. The President has appointed John Armstrong postmaster at Springtiqd, Messrs. Nixen and Frank, members of the House, who entered Fairfax Court House yes terday with Gen. McDowell's army, report that Union men near that place had been in the woods for days to avoid being impressed into the rebel army. The farmers residing out or the village for miles were extravagant in their expressions of juy at the arrival of our troops, enabling them to breathe free again, and speak their Union sentiments. VIE VERY LATEST Narch of Gen: 24'Dowell's Army Toward Centreville RUMORED ENGAGEMENT Nzw Yous, July 18.-2 P. 31 A special Washington dispatch to the Evening Post says that a messenger from Gen McDowell's head quarters, just arrived, reports the army marched early this morning for Centreville, leaving a strong guard at Fairfax Court House. The rebels under Gen. Johnston are endeavor ing.to affect a junction with Gtn. Beauregard. The Federd scouts report 34,000 rebels at Cen treville and . Manassas Junction. A specal dispatch to the Commercial, btings a rumor of an engagement at Centreville, but it is unconfirmed, though probable. The battery which accompanied Gen. McDowell consists of eight thirty-two pounders—the largest battery in the service. LATER FOREIGN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF . THE STEAMER ASIA The steamer Asia has arrived with Liverpool dates to the 6th inst. She brings 110,000 pounds sterling in specie. The Arabia arrived out on the 7th inst. An influential deputation relative to the sup pression of the slave trade has had an interview with Lord John Russell and the Duke of New Castle respectively. Both ministers concurred generally with the views of the deputation, and the latter said that the Governors of the British settlements in Africa have been instructed to encourage commerce and the growth of cotton to their utmost. Queen Victoria visits Ireland at the end of August. Napoleon was at Sicily. The Paris Bourse was dull, rentes 67f. 75c. The Swiss council of State has voted an ap propriation for an expedition to Japan to con clude the treaty of commerce. It is again asserted via Turin, that the Pope's health is very serious. The Spanish troops have taken the town of Lola from the insurgents. The conferences at Pisth indicate that the Lower House of the Hungarian diet will unani mously adopt the 'address of the Emperor as originally proposed by Mr. Deak. The Em peror had received a deputation from the Up per House. efficially_announced that the coronation of the King and Qtleen of Prussia would take place at Konigsburg in October. The monetary crisis in Rwsia is daily becom ing more imminent. Thre is great pressure for money. _ Renewed anxiety prevails at Warsaw. The Bombay mail has been telegraphed. A telegram dated June 12th states that Mr. Laing had sailedlor England. THE PENNNSYLVANIA RESERVE .REGI RENTS. WASHINGTON, July 18. The' reserve regiments, under command of Mrijor General McCall, have been ordered into the United States service forthwith. The must -ails, Tip:Lie - were sent on to-day to the proper officers. Thirtee'n regin are now ready, ha►a bea ordered hire. Mr. Hayward, Superintendent of the Hanni bal and St. Joseph Railroad just from Hannibal, received the following dispatch previous to leav ing that place. "HUDSON, Mo., July 16. "Eight hundred federal troops came up ahead of the passenwer train this morning as far as Millville, thirty miles above St. Charles, on the North Missouri Railroad, where the track was torn up. "The federal troops were fired into, when an engagement ensued, resulting in the loss of seven rebels killed and several taken prisoners. One man, who was caught with a gun in his hand was immediately hung, and another who attempted to escape was riddled with balls, "The fighting still continued when the pas senger train passed up. The federals had lost three killed, seven wounded, and thirty of their horses had been captured. The strength of the rebels was not known." Two steamers from Norfolk were seen landing troops this morning at Sewell's Point, where it is apparent that formidable preparations are made to annoy our shipping, and perhaps the Fortress itself. There are doubtless masked batteries also at Willoughby Point, opposite the Rip Raps. These preparations, however, will be ineffectual, in view of the terrible engines of destruction to be brought against the rebels op posite the Fortress, in case they attempt to dis turb us. Sewell's Point has no strategic impor tance. Norfolk and Portsmouth are not on the road to Richmond, but should the Confederates annoy. Old Point they will at once be routed. Two negroes escaped from Pig Point last night, and found refuge at Newport News. They had been obliged to work in trenches and report that the contederates are in large force opposite Newport News. Nzw You; July 18 The Fourth Massachusetts sailed for Boston this evening in the steamship S. B. Spaulding. Care had been taken by the authorities to pre vent the carrying away of "contrabands," several of whom were found smuggled on board the steamship. Max Weber's regiment will encamp beyond Hampton. The Susquehanna sailed today for New York for repairs. The steamer Mount Vernon dis patch boat has just arrived from Washington, with important di-patches for Gen. Butler. The General made appropriate speeches on the departure of the Massachusetts regimeals. It is evident that they do not go home in the best of humors. CAMP GUNPOWDER, near Magnolia, Rarford county, Did , July 18. A detachment of twenty men, under Lieut. Holt, of Captain Barr's company First Regiment Delaware Volunteers, stationed at the north end of Gunpowder bridge, captured two secession fl , gs yesterday, at the house of James G. Reyn olds, a wealthy planter residing near the Phila delphia and Baltimore turnpike, in Baltimore county, near Franklinsville, fourteen miles above Towsontown. One of the flags, about six feet long, was fluting from the fourth story window and the other was hid in the house. Reynolds was greatly enraged, and wished that he only had force enough to defeat the soldiers. He was not arrested. Lieut. Holt and four men went up stairs, took down the flag and brought -it away. It now floats union down from the flag gaff at the camp, XXXVIIth Congress—Extra Session, WASHINGTON, July 18 SE:gem—The Secretary of the Senate, John W. Forney, called the Senate to order. He stated that he had a note saying that the Vice President would be absent for the rest of the session. On motion of Mr. PEARCE (Md.,) Mr. Foot, of Vermont, was elected President pro tem. Mr. GRIXES (Iowa) introduced a bill for the construct on of a railway from the Navy Yard to Georgetown, D. C. Referred to the District of Columbia Committee. A bill to provide an Assistant Secretary of the Navy was taken up. Mr. Doozirmu, (Wis.) offered an amendment provid.ng for an assistant Secretary of Interior. - Mr. HALE hoped the amendment would not be put on this bill. After a short debatelthe amendment was re jected. Mr. HALE moved to take up the bill for bet ter organization of the Marine Corps, which was agreed to. The amendments of the naval committees were adopted and the bill passed. Mr. WILSON from the Military Committee re ported back the bill for the better organization of the army, with the amendments made yes terday, and others. OUsE.—Mr. WAS/DIME, from the committee on commerce, reported a bill to remit Pie fines and penalties in certain cases, ineurf ed.b_y_ rot son of the closing of southern ports, and con sequently no collectors there will be allowed to give the proper papers to vessels leaving those ports. • The bill passed. Mr. SHEFFIELD, reported a bill supplementary to the act to protect commerce and punish the crime of piracy. Referred. Mr. Et.zior offered a resolution, which passed, instructing the committee on commerce to en quire into the expediency of closing, by act of Cougress, certain ports in rebellious States, with leave to report by bill or otberw se. Mr. ilicsmax, (Pa) from the Committee on the Judiciary, to whom Mr. Potter's resolution was referred, directing them to inquire as to whether Hon. Henry May; of Maryland, has been or is now holding criminal intercourse with those - in armed rebellion against the United States, etc., reported that the gentleman who moved the resolution was called before the committee, but had no evidence tending to prove Mr. May's guilt in this particular, the resolution being predicated on newspaper arti cles only. The committee having no evidence to implicate the gentleman, recommend that no , action in the case is necessary on the part of the House. The committee further say that inves tigation will entirely relieve the President and Gen. Scott horn any suspicion of correspond e••ce, or attempted correspondence, through Mr. May. Un motion of Mr. HICKMAN, the report was laid on the table. Mr. MAY, by permission of the House, made a personal explanation. He was more than gratified that the Committee on the Judiciary had in this decisive way condemned an unpar alleled outrage upon him and his constituents, and that au investigation by those who had been called upon to adduce proof, had to admit that there was uo ground of evidence for the charge, but ti tit was based on mere newspa per rumor, the idle gossip of the hour, and on this a representative of the pecrpic was Gharged with a heinous offence. He had no words in which he could pronounce his indignation and disgust for such proceeding. Before he came hither he had under considera tion whether he could enter upon his duties as a representative, because of the humilation he felt at the attitude of his constituents, now hound in chains without the rights of a free people, all their precious rights under our Con stotution being prostrated and trampled in the duet.
