The following is a portion of the introduc tion prefixed to this volumeT: "At a regular meeting of the CONTINENTAL Cum, held at their rooms, April 25th, 1962, the President, on taking the chair; said : 'Otartemen—Before proceeding with tho pegular business of the Club, I wish to invite 'your consideration to a vary novel request, entirely unprecedented in the annals of our Venerable society. (At theie words of theP Presiden the' members of the Club, expect ing som thing of rare interest, at once be came ve . attentive.) 'Some of the younger members. of. the Club have, in an exuberance of patriotism, composed several poems on the present. convulsions of the Common wealth. .' r have not read them, but they aro by oar learned Secretary, said-to he good, bad, and indifferent. The novel request• cif the authors of these poems, 4, that permission be granted to have them published under the auspices of the Continen tal Club: This, gentlemen, I frankly tell you, I any opposed to. If the Club should step beyond the limits,of its hitherto well observed propriety, to entertain - such a start lirig innovation upon its ancient character, it would certainly betray a lack of dignity, that lam unwitting to sanction. In deference, however, to the wishes of some of my fellow members, I have presented the suldect.to you ' for your notion." After a short discussion, chiefly. among the older members, who were Ilmore afraid of the dignity u' the venerable se t cieri&ing infringed than of any pest tire harm 1 from the proposed publication, the Secretary announced the decision of the Club:—'That i these Poems should be published ENDER THE .I.IIBP,ICES °TITHE CONTINENTAL CLUB." The foregoing piece ofliterary dater:v. is the first, and probably the best, thing 'that will most the reader of this volume—though it is plain prase, isrithout any attempt at rhythmic, or- other, affectations. For oar part ' we are bound toady that we consider the "learned §ecreiary'! only two-thirds right • for, after a somewhat caiefut exploration, we have failed to discover one instance of the 'good,' while the 'bed'•and the 'indifferent,' if there. is any distinguishable difference, seemed to be in sole or-joint. occupation, to the exclusion Of every thing else. For the sake of the authors and tho- publisher, we trust the Continental Club will be a patron equal to Maecenas, if not in poetic taste, in some more 'practical way 0 patronage. Otra‘Fr.ao.

Thii thin-volume contains more poetry, by far, than the more balky and pretentious volumel published under the auspices of the ContinentarClub. Mr. Underwood, it appears to us, can very, well afford to dispense with goy such "auspicious" influence; exerted in -his behalf. If he were a less practiced writer; if he were wore of an apprentice, or of an amateur; if his'etylo were moreldiffuse and this manner more feeble ; if his lines were less .correct in rhythm and metre, and his matain atanzas,--inte which he weaves his' lines, were of Moser texture and .moved with more of a halting vr gait, or "like ounded :snakes drag- Lid their slow length along;"—if these things were so, in his case, ha might, perhaps, have .such a sense of need, as would prdmpt him to wish for patronage, even'for some Continental ..Club, to give its " imprimatur," and gain him the doubtful honors of publication. But, as tit is,Mr. Underwood needs only to have the raio' informed that helms written a poem of considerable orginallty, (and some singulari -ty, toe, wo must confees)—in whic h force of manner and earnestness of purpole, are per haps More striking charammjstio than any grace of- art or affluence of imagery.

The Wheeling inteiligencer, of yesterday, / contains an interesting account of the late important movements-in Gen. Fremont's/De partment, the details of which are furnished by 'Lieutenant Henry H. Picket, of IHanstleld, Ohio, who witnessed the battle of /McDowell, on the 18th inst., between the , forces under Gene. Milroy and Schenck, aid the enemy under Jackson. Our forces consisted of, , hine regiments in -all, six under Milroy and-three under Schenck, numbering not more ,than seven thousand men. Those under Milroy were the 75tb, 731,32 d and 25th Ohio, and the 2d and 3d Virginia... Those/under Schenck were 'the S2d and 55th Obib, and the sth Virginia. It appears, that Mllroy's force had advanced from Moriterey in the direction of Staunton as far as McDoirell, Swo regiments ten miles be yond and,one sixteen. Just before noon on the ISth;the pickets of this advanced regi ment weie driven in, and it fell back upon the othertwo. They all fell back in good order to within a mile and a quarter of .11eDowe1l, where they made a stand. Skirmishing con tinued until a quarter to six in the evening when the main fight began. The enemy were prated along the top of a mountain which terminated Abruptly on one left. Milroy's forces wera disposed in front of -the mountain some distance along, with the batteries OD elevated ground in the rear. There were five of these—Capt. Hymen's, Capt. Do Beck's, Capt. Swing's,Capt. Johnston's and abother not remembere by our infortmant. ' Capt. Hymen's battery in particular did brilliant execution; being about upon a level with the enemy. His shells alt burst at the right time and in the right - place, each ono clearing a space of about thirty feet. in the ranks of the rebels. Our informant relates, as an instance of this officer's skill, that, see ing a group of rebel officers on an eminence, about two miles distant, he got their range and Sent them a shell, which killed two out of four of them. This battery was placed on a height where it took twelve horses and one hundred men to take up each gun. The enemy fired. nothing but mniketry, apparently being unable to get their . grins to the top of the mountain on which they were postedd. They, however, rained a perfect shower of bullets down the side of the mountain, but fortunate ly, as is nearly always the ease in firing down a hill, fired too high. Our informant, who was engaged with others in bearing the killed and wounded to the rear,says the balls whistled around them like hail, and in dangerous proximity. About seven o'clock in the evening, Gen. Schenek's brigdde came up, having left Frank lin at half past tea. in the morning. The fight raged furiously, and 'lasted till nine o'clock at night. Shortly after dark, the 32d and Std Ohid made a brilliant bayonet charge up the mountain in the face of the enemy's Are, and drove them from their positien, but much to their surprise found a heavy force in reserve on the other side of the mountain. They fell back, of course. Meanwhile, the enemy had come around the bluff termination .of the mountain, and flanked our force. The 25th Ohio was posted on the extreme left, and the weight of this flank movement fell upon them. They fought gallantly and were con siderably oht up.- Their ammunition gave out, and they stood upon the field and waited like heroes till a fresh eupply was brought them. 11-pon the discovery that the enemy were greatly superior in numbers, our force fell bank in good order about 9 o'clock, having given, the rebels at least a Roland fur their Oliver. Our loss amounted to 37 - killed and 160 wounded. That of the enemy was believed to-be much larger, from the fact that our men, firing up hill, were more accurate in their aim, and on account of the terrible execution of the shells thrown from our batteries. De serters who came in after the fight, declared that their lois was 400 killed, besides the wounded. While the battle was going on a couple of companies.from the Virginia regiments leftset Monterey to guard baggage and provisions, and who had orders to tall batik, were attack ed with such suddenness that they bed to,,iske daddlo on the double quick and leave eVery thing--even their own baggage, clothing, uni forms, etc., in their trunks. Lieut. Weaver, of the 2d Virginia, left behind . ; a trunk; con taining valuables to the amount of $l5O. 'There was no fighting, as they Obeyed thoe, der to Tall back as soon as the : pickets were driven in, consequently nobody'. hurt there, but considerable loos of personal effects. • After the fight our forces fell back to Frank lin, the capital of Pendleton county, and aext day this aide. The enemy, 14,0ct0 strong, followed. There ware two or three lays skir mishing—our batteries playing on them, with shell and keeping them'back in spite of their superior force. They came up and occupied our deserted camp at one time, but a well posted battery 110012 made that top hot for them, and they "fell back." In this skir mishing three of'our pickets were killed, and we killed six of their Men in return. Heavy reinforcements from Fremont had arrived, before Our infurmant left Franklin. Blenker's Dutchmen" were there eager fora fight. Gen. Fremont was there in person.. The General is almost idolized by ilia troops. It was believed that Jackson was reinforced by Johnson, and that the combined forces between Franklin and Staunton were not Tess than 40,000. One regiment had been four miles beyond Franklin and reported no enemy in eight. Tho force directly in front of ours is reported at from 14,000 to 20,000. Banks' whole force had fallen back to Straleburg, but this movement, as well as the movement of Fiemont, is believed to be strsit age tic and in co%operation with the movements of McClellan and Burnside. It seemed to us that 40,000 men ahead is a pretty heavy con sideration, and, might have bad a good deal to do with the strategy on the part of Fremont's command. • Lt.

One of-the men was most brutally kicked and beaten, and when the fight was over he could scarcely zee.

HUNTER'S PROCLAMATION It is Rumor6d that the President Will Modify it. A 'RECREANT OFFICER DISMISSED The French Officer's Letter to Farogut a. Forgery. Fort Darling, on James River A FORTY 'MILLION PENSION BILL. [Special Dispatch to the Gazette.] PHILLIALPHIA, May 19.—The Now York correspondent of the inquirer says private letters from London and Paris, received by the Niagara, warn us that there is much more in the rumors of intended intervention in our war for the Union than as yet appears on the surface. One writer, whose position is such as to en able him to have an accurate acquaintance with the prevailing sentiment in Paris, says: "If the truth must be told, the decided ill will of a largo 'and powerful party in France towards the Union cause dates from the ad miosion of the Orleans Prince into the federal service." Another aestires us that the relapse of the British tory organs into a eyetematic dispar agement of the federal government and the North, with their Marked depreciation of the value of Union victories; together with the recent speech of Mr. Gladstone, are incidents that have a deep meaning, which in due time will develop itself to the astonishment of our unsuspecting countrymen. A third goes further, and states that the visit of the French Minister to Richmond is well understood in diplomatic circles here (London) to have express reference to certain arrangaments labont to be entered into by England and France, having for their ulti mate purpose the termination of the American War. The New York Tribune correspondent says it is confide'ntly asserted that the President has determined to modify Gen. Hunter's order of freedom by requiring him to conforni it to the act of Congress passed at the extra session, by which only those slaves actually employed in military service' by the rebels are liberated. There it reason to believe, however, that whatever the inclination of the President's mind may hare been at the reception of the order, and whatever ho may have said to anx ious querists, the decision is yet to be an nounced, and will bo postponed until those members of the Cabinet who ase now absent return. Mr. Sheffield, of Rhode Island, has received a timely hint from a eource he respects, cult to affiliate with tho conservative slavery party. Acting master Stone, who was in command of tho Emily St. l',ierre when she was re-cap tured by an inferior force, has been dismissed from the corvine. The letter to Flag Of f icer Farragut, from the French Commander at New Orleans, pro testing against the bombardment of that city, is pronounced a forgery. Fort Darling, where our gunboats were en gaged, is situated on a bluff two hundred feet above the river, high enough to direct a Aplunging fire upon' attacking boats, which cannot use their gulls in response. It is estimated that the POl2BlOll bill, recent ly pas•od by the House, will draw over 540,'.- 000,000 from the Treasury. It will be greatly modified in the Senate. A Member of Congress, who has just re turned from the Peninsula, says the troops there approve of Bunter's proclamation. D. From Washington. Wasursorox, May lg.—An army cones nondent of the Associated Press, writing from White House, Va., under date of Sunday, May 18th, says ' The Avarice guard of our force on the main road to Richmond, by way of Bottoms Bridge, drove the enemy across the Chiekahominy river at that point - yesterday morning: When troops arrived within half a mile of the bridge,which is burned, they were opened upon by a brisk fire of, artillery from the op posite side of the river. No one was injured. This bridge is fifteen miles from Richmond. At this point our troops will experience con siderable difficulty in crossing, as the country is low and swampy on both sides of the river. A reconnoissance 'was made yesterday by one of the gun boats, with two companies of infantry, under Major Milliard, and one see, tion• of Ayres' buttery, up the Pomonkey river, a distance of twenty-five miles from here. At e point knownas Russell's Landing, they found the steamer Logan, one propellor and one hundred schooners, on fire. They were laden meetly with corn, which was being unloaded. Some contrabands on shore stated that when the rebels raw our gun boat coming, they 'commenced putting the-corn on aboard again, so as to insure its destruction. A few shell soon dispersed the remaining rebels in that locality, when the gun boat re thread to White Rouse. The roads for the past three days have heap next to impassible, owing to the recent hoary trains. A idivision train was thirty-six hours mak ing its way five miles, with tame doubled, together, with assistance furnished by a large number of troops. The advance,of tho army from this point musk necessarily be slow. From bore it loses the benefit of river transportation, requiring all the supply trains at the disposal of the Quartermaster's department, to furnish so vaetn body of mon with subsistence. - The bridge between bare and the enemy has been deitroyed, and' every imaginable obetruotion is placed in the way of our ad vance. The Richmond Dispatch of the I2th has a lengthy article on the evacuation of Norfolk and :Yorktown and the conduct of the war generally: It says by abandoning detached poath which are within the roach of the one my'4 fleet and which it is therefore impossible to defend, we are enabled to concentrate pow erful forces upon essential points and to baf fle the enemy in every attack of vital import ance. The 11141110 paw- makes mention of a terri blo panic in Richmond on Friday, on tho ap proach of our gunboats. This being Sunday, the army of the Potomac has ceased its labors. Tho' troupe remain in camp enjoying a day of rest.i Bon.' Totten, Chief of the Engineer De partment, • has replied to thg enquiries pa the subject of the changes "Flitch may have beeoine neceseary in forts and other means of defence.

Both of those prineiples have 'been Well settled by military experience, end hove received full Illustration in the recent attack on Furt Pulaski.

DAVID HUNTER, Major General Commanding. Entreats W. SMITH, Acting Assistant Adjutant General. Iffitereas, Dud same is producing excitement and misunderstanding, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, pro claim that the :Government of the United States had no knowledge ' information or be lief of an intention on the part of Gen. Hun ter to issue - such a proclamation ' • nor has it yet any authentic information that the decu meat is genuine; and, further, that neither Gen. Hunter, nor any ether commanders or person has been authorized by the Govern ment of the United States to `snake a procla mation declaring the slaves of :any State free, and that the supposed proclamation now : in question, whether genuine or false, is alto gether void, so far as respects snots declaration. I further make known that whether it be competent for me, as Commander-ha-Chief of the army and navy, to declare that the slaves of any State or States free, and whether at any time ur in: any case it shall become a necessity indispeusible to the maintenance of the Government to exercise such supposed power, are questions which,:under my respon sibility, I resorts to myself, and which I can not feel justified in leaving to the decision of commanders in :the field. These are totally different questions from those of police regu-: lationain armies and camps. On the tith day of March last, by a special: message, I recommended to Congress the adoption of a joint resolution, to be ...asst.,: tinily as follows:: 14.olved. That the United States ought tol co-operate with any State which may adopt a: gradual aboliahment: of slavery, giving to' such State pecuniary aid to be used by such: Stabs, in its discretion, to compensate for the!: inconveniences, public and• private:, produced by such change of system. The resolution, in the languagod as above quoted, was adopted by largo majorities in. both branches of Congress, and now stands: an authentic, definite and solemn proposal of: the nation to the States and people most im mediately interested In the subject matter. ' To the people:of those States I now earnest-: ly appeal. Id, not argue. 1 beseech you tol make the arguments for yourselves. You can-I not, it you would, be blind to the signs of the times. I beg of you a calm and enlarged: consideration ofi them, ranging, if it may be far above personal and partisan polities. This proposal makes ;summon cause for a cumulus; object, :casting no reproaches upon any. It acts HOT the Pharisee% The ehang, it contemplates: would Some gently as th e dews of heaveis, l not rending or wrecking any-: thing. yen not embrace it So much good had not been done by one effort in all past time, asinithe providence of God, it ia now your high privilege to do. May the vast] future not have to lament that you harp no glected it In witness thereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be axed.

Houss.—Mr. Bingham; ofOhlo, from tine Special Committee of the Nouse, reported.ar 'ticks of impeachment against) West. II Ilum phreys, Judge of the District Court of the United States for Alio several districts of Ten nessee. Seven separate charges are made in the name of the people of the, 'United States, involving a gross neglect of official duty and violation of the laws, by endeavoring to excite revolt and rebellion, publikhing the ordinance of secession of Tennessee, endeavoring to ab solve the people of that State'frota their alle giance to the United States;iand combining with Jeff. Davis and other evil..mitided - per. sons to overthroW the authority of the United States; etc. It Is demanded that the said Humphreys be put to answer for the high crimes and misdemeanors obarged against him, and that such proccedinks be taken for his examination and trial as May be agreeable to law and justice. Mr. Bingham said that these articles sub stantially embraced the statement heretofore made to the House, and as no gentleman de sired to discuss the propriety of adopting these articles, on his metier', under the opera tion of the previous question;the report was agreed to. On motion of Mr. Bingham, a resolution was adopted providing for the appointment of five managers to conduct the impeachment, and that the Senate be made acquainted with the action of the House, with the view' of concurrent proceedings in ihd: premises. The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union—Mr. Wash borne, of 111., in the chair. The Navy Appropriation till Was taken up. Mr. Hutchins, of Ohio, prefaced his remarks by saying that ho did not intend to -discuss the war, nor the institution of slavery. Ho then advocated fhe bill herettifore introduced by him, to equalise and rednees the present various and incongruous rates of postage. Mr. Richardson, of ill., believed that the strength of the army was sufficient to put down the rebellion, but the indications were that another and inferior race were to be arm ed and uniformed and placed:on an equality with the whites. The legislation of Congress is almost exclusively . with regard to the ne groe. Thay have abolished slaveryhere, and to the contrabands rations are daily distribu ted. Where is the evidenen'thet rations are issued to the poor white *onto ? Supplies at the rate of a hundred and fort Y-four thousand dollars per annum are distributed among the: blacks. Tho white people of:Illinois are sell ing corn at eight Cents per blishel to pay the taxes thus imposed on them. White men aro required to procure passes to enter our lines, but negroes can enter them svi thout such passes. He asked, was it !the purposnof, the majority here to make the negroes the. equals of the whites. He briefly showed that the history of the world has proved this impossible. An these and kindred:questions have to be dis cussed before the people during tote coming autumn. He hoped that tie extreme men would be driven from the public councils into places where they could do ne more mischief. 110 repeated that the legislation of Congress. had been disastrous. Look, as an instance, at Tennessee; over which has been placed a Governor, popular and energetic, with fair administrative abilities, with two-thirds of the people of that State apnoea to secession, he has been unable to restore her to the Union. Why ? Because you, have been con stantly exciting their apprehensions that you intend to violate the Constifution and ' , strip the people of all their rights,:intitead of con firming the impression that : wherever our flag floats they shall be protected in all their rights, including those of hereon and prop erty. Various minor amendments to the naval appropriation bill were :discussed and adopted. The Committee rejected Crfefield's proviso declaring that tho present...locality of!. • academy was only temporary. The bill was finally reported to the House, and It appropriates about s3B;ooo,ooo—lnclu ding for pay of officers, seamen and engineers, $11,61.7,000 ; repairs and equipment of Teasels, $14400,000 ; ordinance and ordinance stores, S:5,009,000. The House then adjourned:f SENATE.—Mr. Grimes introduced a bill for the relief of Robert. Small and others, colored, who recently delivered the, rebel steamer Planter'' to Commodore Duptnt's squadron. The bill provides that the steamer. 'Planter, with all her cargo and appurtenances, etc., be appraised bycompetent board of officers, and one half or the value thereof shall go to Robert Small and associates, who assisted in dhe rescue of the Planter, with the prpviso that. the Secretary of the Navy may invest the same in United States atoelts, the interest to be paid to Robert Small and bin associates, or their heirs. The bill was taken up and passed. The Confiscation bill was taken np. Mr. Sumner, of Mase r , proceeded to epcak at length in favor of tae prineitile of confisca tion and the etnanetpation of the staves of the rebels, and urging t.tie adoption of his substi tute for the bill. 1 • • : Mr. Davie, of Kg., proposed several amend ments, which were rejected. ! After itirther discussion, the Senate ad earned.
