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.

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

--.The Battle -of McDowell...De=
tails of :the Retrograde 'Movement.
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. •

Song thing Wrong
A corresp'ondent desires to know whether
J. ti. Jones, of the Fifth Ward, is acting as
Alderman-and cites a disgraceful fight which
occurred on Friday evening last, in the vicin
ity of the magistrate's office, without the
slightest effort being made on the part of the
officers to quell the disturbance. It is asserted
that a citizen entered the office, while the fight
was going on, at .d asked officer J. F., K. Jones
to come out and preserve the peace, - but he
did not see proper to do so. One of-the men
was most brutally kicked and beaten, and
when the fight was over he could scarcely zee.
The writer states that if officer 'Tones was
afraid to arrest the men, he could have had
plenty of assistance by calling upon the by-
standers. What have these officers.to say for
themselves'.
A GRAND CONCRIIT was given at Bridge

and yielded .$BO, which will be applied to the

delivered by the President, and the Society
sang "The Star Spangled Banner" with spirit

It is Rumor6d that the President
Will Modify it.
A 'RECREANT OFFICER DISMISSED

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

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.

against the said United States, it becomes a,
military necessity to declare them under mar

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

good had not been done by one effort in all

now your high privilege to do. May the vast]
future not have to lament that you harp no

In witness thereof I have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be axed.

IXXVIITH CONGRESS-FIRST SESSION.
• • Waanreuvov, May 19, 156..
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,
