the very reason that Pittsburghers are dead

• Mr. Josiah King advocated the importance
of selecting good men for the purpose of laying

At the request of Judge Wilkins, Mr. Kerr

and has ample accommodations for;seating'
seven hundred poraonr. The style is Rustic
Gothic, and the material rough-hewn grey
sandstone. The church is cruciform, with an
extreme length of a hundred feet. The di
mensions of the nave are forty-two by forty
ninefeet; oflhe transept fift/by sixty-four
feet. The height of' the’ceiling, it thirty-six
i feet, of the spire one hundred feet, and there
are fonr gables‘fifty-six feet high. The front
window is slxtoenby twenty -seven feet. The
churoh Ti situated on a plot or ground two

ings coat $14,000. . ..
The inside work is very beautiful, the ceil
ing, pulpit, peus, doors, etc., being construct
ed or pine, oak, ash and other durable wood,
and finished with varnish. No paint is used,
and the grain of the wood presents a highly
ornamental appearance. The windows are
all of Btained glass, of most elaborate finish,
and the whole 1 edifice has been furnished in
most excellent style and taste. The congre
gation intend to procure an organ at any early
day, so that they will lack nothing common
to the most elegantly furnished churches of
the city. The congregation: and their pastor

iiXTUTH CONfiRESS—PItST SESSION.
ff iRHtmTpM, Dec. 16,1861.
House.—The Speaker preiented the memo*
rial of the legislative assembly of Colorado,
asking for the establishment of a branch mint
in that Territory. Referred to the Committee
of Ways and Means.
Mr. Conway, of Kansas, rising to a question
of privilege, alluded to a dialogue botween
himself and Mr. Fouke on Thursday. The
former had included the battle of Belmont as
in the series of defeats to oar anas*
Mr. Fouke had ineffectually asked Mr.
Harding, *ho had the floor, to yield U to>im
that he might, in bis own language, nail the
falsehood to the counter. . 4 , .
Mr. Conway had explained that he obtained
his information from the newspaper. 'Mr.
Conway, as he did not at that time heat the
offensive remark with distinctness, now de
sired to know whether Mr. Fouke intended to
make the charge of falsehood personally ap
plicable to him. . A , t .
Mr. Fouke, of Illinois, replied that he
never heard of any newspaper paragraph to
that effect, excepting in the Chicago Tnbvne,
which was afterwards contradicted. He then
modo a brief statement of the battle of Bel
mont, to show that It was unxind in Mr.
Conway to insist on characterising it as a
defeat. He would permit the to
make the application of the language he had
heretofore uttered, as he, Mr. Conway, was
the only judge in the matter.
Mr. Conway, in reply said, as Mr. F oukehad
refused to avail himself of his generosity, ho
submitted to the candid judgment of the
House, whether such conduct did not clearly
manifest a deliberate puroose to bring on a
personal collision without cause, and whether
inch eendnet was not unbecoming to * monl '
ber of this House 5 but rather of a blackguard
and a scoundrel. [Sensation.] ,
Mr. Riohardson, of 111., timely called the
Speaker to order, saving this was-not the
place_to settle such difficulties. Cries of or
der. orders ~ ._
Mr. Fouke wanted to say one word in reply.
Mr. Stevens, of Pa., and others, otyecied;
they had enough of such things. ■
The Speaker informed Mr. Fouke that no
debate was in order. .
Mr. Fouke, amid cries of order, was under-,
stood to say that Mr. Conway was a disgrace
to the nation and humanity.
Here the matter ended in the House.
Amonc the bills introduced and roferrod
was on. by Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, dona
ting lands to the several States for founding
Agricultural Colleges.
The House passed a bill tc strike from toe
pension rolls the names of aU persons who
have taken up arms against toe government,
or in any manner aided the rebellion.
Mr. tiranger, of Michigan, introduced a bill
for the relief of Union soldiers, now prisoners
In Richmond, and elsewhere in the rebel
States. A letter was read, at his Instance,
from the prisoners, showing their destitu
t*°Mn Wycklilfo, of Ky.jstated that toe Quar
term ester's Department had
their necessities, by sending to the South two
thousand full suits of clothing.
The bill was referred to the committee on
Military Affairs. ,
Mr. Cradalbaugh, of Nevada, introduced a
bill to establish a branch mint In toe territory
of Nevada. Referred to the committee on
Commerce. . , ..
Mr. Vallaodlgham, of Ohio, introduced the
following: ~. v , ...
WHKRsa*, The Secretary of the Navy has
reported to this House that Captain Charles
tyilk e3j in command of the San Jacinto, an
armed public ressel of war, did on the Bth of
November, 1881, on the high seas, intercept
the Trent, a British mail steamer, and forci
bly remove therefrom James M. Mason and
John Slidell, disloyal dtiiens, leading con
spirators, rebel enemies end dangerous men,
who, with their suites, were on their way to
Europe to promote the canoe of the insurrec
tion, claiming to be Ambassadors from the
so-called Confederate States; and witrau,
The Secretary of the Navy has farther re
ported to this House that the prompt and do-,
drive action of Copt. Wilkes on this occasion
merited and received the emphatic approval of
the Department, and moreover, in a public
letter, has thanked Capt. Wilkes for the act;
and ahtrta., This House, on the first dry of
the session, did-prepose to tender tho thunks
of Congress to Capt. Wilkes, for his bravo,
adroit and patrioUe conduct in the arrest and
dhrehlion ofUotrtlMwJn** UrUmam asdi
John SUdoll; and whereas, further, o* the
same day; this House did request the Presi
dent to confine the said James M. Mason end
John Slidell in the eells of convicted felons,
until certain military officers of the United
States, confined and held by tho so-called Con
federate States, should be treated as prisoner*
of war; therefore, be it ” " '
Bctolcrd, As the sense of this House, that
it is the doty of the President to more firmly
maintain lha stand thus taken approving and
adopting the eat of Capt. Wilkes, in spue of
any menace oniemand of the British govern- !
ment, and that thU House pledges its full
support to'him in'upholding How the honor,
and vindicating the courage of the govern
ment and the people of the United State*
against a foreign pqwer.
Mr. Vallandigham moved toe previous quea- ,
tion. They had heard the first growl of the
British lion.’ It remained to be seen who
would ooweri , ,
The House refused to second the demand lor
toe previous question. .
Mr. Fan ton, of; Mo., moved that it be re
ferred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
The motion was agrcod to, yeas 109, against
House resumed the consideration of the :
bill authorising .the ralaing of a volunteer
force for the better .defease of Kentucky.
Mr. Lovqjoy, of 111,, hoped tout Jt would
not pass. Aooordingi to official returns wc ;
have as landing army of between COO,OQU and
700,000 men, which is amply sufficient fpr the
war. We have moro soldier* now than cun-bo
used,.therefore, toe raising of 20,000 volnn- ,

Mr. Richardson trusted that the bill would
pass. The volunteers proposed to be raised
in Kentucky were of the best kind, and fa
miUar with toe Stato. The base of operations
was at Louisville, and 20,000 men were neces
sary to guard too base and the line on which
our army is to advance.
Messrs. Wickliffe and Dunlap favored the

to conquer-the enemy anywhere as yet, and
we have not met him, excepting when he out
numbered us. Hence, we have not been able
to drive back the foe ono foot. -*
Mr. Lorejoy replied that too enomy -will
not meot us, unless when ho is superior in
numbers. ,
Mr. Blair.—Then why should not our army

Mr. Bright, of Ind., said that perhaps it
was not impropor for him to say a word as to

against him through a licentious press. It'
had boon charged that ho had absented htm

had no objection to the resolution. He be
lieved th* f in a service of. seventeen years he
bad done nothing inconsistent with his duty
as an American Senator, or citizen, or gentle
man. He courted an investigation into all
his acta, private and public, and asked to have
a letter read in answer to the one already
brought to the notice of the Senate. Tho tot
ter alluded to was then read. It was ad
dressed to Mr. Fitch, his colleague, saying
that ho eras opposed to the .Abolitionists, but
had always been for the preservation and In
tegrity of the Union. He was, however, bp
posed to the coercive policy of tho Govero
m°The resolution was then referred to the

Mr. Sumner, of Mass., gave notice of his
intention to introduce a bill to satisfy the
claims of French spoliations.
A communication was received from the U.
S. Marshal for the District of Columbia, in
reply to the resolution in regard to the slaves
confined In the jail at Washington. He said
that stoves had been so confined in consequence
of an old and uniform custom here, which he
had supposed was according to tow, but he
had not made an investigation of the subject.
A communication was received from the
President transmitting the proceedings of the
Court of Inquiry in the case of Col. Miles.
Referred to the Special Committee.
,Mr Trumbull, of 111., called up the resolu
tion taking the Secretory of State if persons
had been arrested in the loyal States, and by
what authority.
Mr. Dixon, of Conn.,opposed the resolution.
He thought it was best not to go into an io
restigation of such questions in times like
these, when the very safety of the country is
threatened. Tho time had passed by when
the abominable rebellion could be crushed by
mild means. He would make no discrimina
tion between the property of rebels. A great
deal had been said about the opinions of con
servative men. He had occasion to know
something about such opinions and knew that
they were for using any means to suppress the
rebellion.
Mr Trumbull said ho was as eager as any
out to oruflh the rebellion, but would not
wuto the power of tbe Goeernment in ar
reiting persona in the lojal Statoi. It w ® JJ*"*
better to strike with tho power of 600,000
men, and crash tho rebellion to the earth. It
loomed to him to bo the eery essence of des
potism, if men cen bo arrested bj telegraph
without power of reply 'or trial. What,
then, becomes of Conetttutional liberty? Are
I we willing to trust 'the liberties of our ettt-
I reus in thejiands dr any one man, no matter
I who ? The popple are engaged in the defence
I of Constitutional liberty, and the Constitu-
I tfbh as our forefathers made it. That Con-
I stitutiott is broad enough, without any viola
-1 tion of it. He thought no barm could come
font of tho resolution. If the reply of the
Secretary showed that the arrests hadboen
made, and there eaa .no authority for them
I but that they were necessary, wonlditnot be
I better to make a law to effect a like result ?
I After a lengthy debate, Mr. Trumbull 8
I resolution was referred to tbo Committee on
I the Jttdkisry; Adjourned.

Tho War Department; in reply to a resolu
