THIIRBDAY, July 25, 1861 The case of U. S. vs Michael Shearer charged with passing counterfeit money was resumed. For the defence several witnesses were called to testify as to the credibility of Wm. Keller, one of the government wit nesses. Some gave him a bad reputation for truth and veracity. A good character for honesty was proven for defendant. it was also shown that Ream had pecuniary difficulties with Shearer, that he had offer. ed to drop this prosecution if Shearer Would pay what he owed him and that he had himself passed counterfeit money at various times. The constable of the bo. , rough also testified that the money was not marked at the time of the first examine. tion before the justice. The testimony for the defence having closed, Mr. Hampton addressed the jury for defendant at considerable length, insist ing upon the innocence of the defendant, and reflecting severely upon the malicious disposition of Ream in instituting the prosecution. Mr. Carnahan closed the argument by an address to the jury on the side of the government, going over the whole ground and reviewing the teatimony in an able manner. Judge McCandless then charged the ju ry, In plaining the law and evidence as ap. plieable to the case, and the jury retired Court then adjourned until ten o'cl, ck on Friday morning, when the case of the United States vs A Ira. R. Poole, charge (I with embezzling letters and valuables us - Westmoreland county, will probably be taken up. billitar3 Movements. The Fifth, seventh and Thirteenth regi ments Pennsylvania Volunteers are m,w in Harrisburg. The Fifth and Seventh WZ/13 expected to len%) for Pitt:burgh to. atty. The Thirteenth is to rema.n until p lid off. It was stated that no MPillf3 of transportation had been furnished f , r them and that they would bo oliged to oomo on foot, but this is scarcely probable Wednesday's Harrisburg Patriot and Union says:—"The Fifth regiment yester day received rations of fresh bread and cooked meat. In addition t 3 this, a num ber of ladies furnished them with coffie, together with many delicacies. The men expected to be paid oil' to-dsy, when they will immediately return to their homes by companies." The Seventh Reserve regiment, Col. E. B. Harvey, left Harrisburg on Tuesday afternoon in a special train for Weshing. ton city. The men were well uniformed and in high spirits The First. E•ghth and Tenth Reserves reached Baltimore on Tee=day snd were to be transported to Washington city at once. In Baltimore ono '3f the bazzage oars took fire and some $2OO worth of blankets, &c., belonging principally to the Eighth, were consumed. The Sixteenth Indiana regiment, num., Bering over one thousand men, fully uni formed and equiped, in command of Col. Hackelman, arrived hero yesterday by the Steubenville branch of the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad. Their uniform con. slats of grey jacket, pants and reculation hat. Co A, is armed with the Eldileld rifle, tha rest with the Minnie musket. They wore transferred to cars on the Penn sylvania Railroad and started East about half past ten o'clock yesterday morning. ,A 'Wisconsin regiment was expected to pass through this morning, arriving by the, midnight train. The Seventeenth Indiana will prcbablY arrive by Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad this afternoon or even ing and proceed Eastward. The Fifth Wisconsin is expected on Monday next. COL. BLACK'S REGIMENT is now nearly hill and will probably bo ready to march to-morrow. Eight companies have been mustered in, Among them are the "Mor rison Guards," Cat,t. WWI', the "Kramer Guards," Capt. F. A. O'Brien, and the "Union Guards," of Clarion county, the two former new companies just formed and the latter one which came down by the Valley road on Wednesday oveninc, A few recruits are wanted for the "Morri son" and "Kramer Guards." Col. Black has issued the following very proper order : The commanding officers of companies attached or to be attached to Scott Lesion No. 2, will, in addition to the usual muster roll, make out and furnish to the Home Committee having charge of the matter of the families of the volunteers, and also to the Commissioners of their respective counties a full roll of each man's family or persons dependent- on him for support, wl'h place of residence fu4y described, and also tae name of the landlord in whose house the volun teer or his family may be living as a tenant Headquarters, July 25, 1861 WHERE TO GET TIMM —ln these war times it becomes a matter of some impor tance to many to know where cheap goods of reliable .quality can be purchased. To such of our readers as desire to know we will say that W. H. McGee & Co., cloth iers, corner of Federal street and the Dia. mond, Allegheny, have on band a full stock of summer and fall goods, ready made or furnished to order, made in the latest and most fashionable style, at prices that defy competition. One visit will be sufficient to verify this assertion. AN EAGLE, of the golden species, was caught a few days since in Fayette county, Pa. in a very singular meaner. The ac count says that it alighted in the woods where a Mr. Morris was at work, and in attempting to ascend caught in some grape vines and brash. Having no gun at hand, he attempted to knock it down with a pole, bat the eagle caught hold of the pole with its elar.-e, and held on to it until it was brought to the ground, and captured with out being injured. .A.RTlLLEatr.—There are now five corn• panies of artillery at Camp Curtin. The intention for some time past has been to attach...them to Col. Sherman's new regi ment, but the events which have lately transpired renders it propable that they will be organizsd into a battalion, and for waVd4to Washington. They are now ad. ndrably,drilled in the management of can non, and will be able to render efficient 5aY1.,0.; IHRIIRORDLIFATE SOLDIER DIIGE,A.CED.- One of the Indiana regiment which passed through yesterday, having three times filled his canteen with whisky, which the captain each time poured out, struck at the captain, who struck him across the hand with his sword, wounding him slightly. The offender was then, by order of the captain, seized by two of his cam panions who blacked his eye, stripped him of his equipments and turned him loose, to go home in disgrace. Fos CAMP Scarr.—Lieut. J. H. Stew art and Orderly Sergeant, M. B. Miller, of Capt. Glass' company of U. S. Zouave Cadets, will start for Camp Scott, Staten Island, this afternoon at 4 o'clock. Per. sons having letters for any of their friends in this company, can have them conveyed thither, by leaving them at the law office of M. I. Stewart, &sq., on Fifth street, above Smithfield, or at the store of Mair & Davidson, Wood street, near Fifth, this forenoon. )11-4.1. JNO. W. DinwAN, of the Eighth Reserve, is in this city and will leave this everting for his regiment. Ho will take letters for any in the regiment, if left at john Savage's, at the railroad depot. Our citiz3na will remember that a few weeks ago, a paThfal rumor obtained circa• lation through the press,that the gentleman whose name heads this article, had been hanged by the secessionists in Florida.— The story created great excitement in this par.. of the State, re Col. L. was well known i.f4 a gentleman of talent and fine sec at q laiiites, as well as a Democratic politician of b 114enee, having pricticed law at Franklin, Pennsylvania, for several years, with marked success. His numerous friends were highly de lighted, then, to see in full health and vigor, the same Col. Lsmberton, on Wed nesday evening, at the Monongahela House, where he and his family are now stopping. The Colonel was Postmaster at Warrington, and because he would not violate his oath and turn traitor to the Union by allowing the rebels to take charge of the mail matter in his care, was arrested, cast Into prison, heavily ironed, on the of April last, and had it not been for his brave bearing and dauntless courage, would doubtless have lost his life. Thetratiors robbed the gentleman of nearly all his personal estate, amounting to some $25,000, but ho still got away from the scoundrels with enough to live on. The property of tho government, letters, postage stamps, onvelopes, wore also seized by these high-toned, chivalrous gentleman. We welcome CA. L. back to his native State, and now that he is wife among his friends we hope he will be contented to remain with us. HABEAS CORPUS.—On Thursday morn ing, "%omits Tadey, watchman at the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad depot, was brought before Judge McClure on an application for discharge upon a writ of habeas corpus. Ho was committed by Alderman J. II Miller, of Allegheny, upon a charge of mispriaon or treason, in having expressed satisfaction at the rout of our troupe, and using other language indicative of sympathy with the rebels. The complaint was made by Mrs. Morrow, a neighbor in whose presence the alleged treasonable language was used.— Jchn U. Hampton and Wm. C. Moreland, &Kis , appeared for the defendant and asked his discharge upon two grounds : First: That the c)romitment did not show that ho was committed upon oa:h, but upon"information." Second: That the lan guage alleged was not seditious. The case was ArgUr' , l by the gentle:n - 12n named and D-p,ity District Attorney, MrAtitt. JAge McClure not wishing to decide upon the latter point, the motion for discharge was withdrawn and Tatley was released upon enter,ng ball in the sum of $5OO for his ap-. pettranee to answer. PARDON O l'T. THOS. EGG ERS.—In Wednesday's paper we stated, on the au thority of a telegraphic despatch received here, that a pardon bad been granted for Capt.Thos. Itogers,then confined in prison under sentence for manslaughter. The Dispatch of yeFterdny disputed the state. ment and added: "Such unwarranted statements are calculated to operate pre judicially to the interests of the prisoner," We never make statements concerning personal matters without reliable authori• ty and the accuracy of our information in this case is attested by the fact that a par don for Capt. Rogers (Lel arrive yesterday and that he was released from prison in the afternoon. The executive clemency has been wisely exercised in this case, as al though the act of Capt. R. may have been somewhat hasty in taking the life of a fel. low being, no one who knows him can be lieve that he was morally guilty of the crime of which he was vonvicted. liostx.—Lieut. J. H. Foster, of the Thirteenth regimen], Lieut.W. S. Collier, of the Twelfth, and Messrs. Harvey G. Childs and Caskey, of the Duquesne Greys, arrived in the city yesterday. Lieutenant Foster says the Thirteenth will remain at Harrisburg until they aro paid off, then _return home and reorgenize the regiment for three years The Fifth and Seventh were paid off yesterday. Only about one , half the Twelfth will remain on the Northern Central Railroad; the other five companies will return home. Mr. Caskey has an injury of the foot, occasioned by accidental shooting. Mr. Childs. who lost an arm by being run over by a locomotive, while on guard duty on the railroad. is in good health. Lieut Fost , r will return to Harrisburg this evening and come back with his regiment, which will probably arrive on Sunday or Monday. Swoon:4 Iv.—The following companies were sworn into service in Col. S. W. Black's regiment yesterday by Lieut. Mc- Lain, of the Teird cavalry; St. Clair Guards, Capt. Espy; Union Friends, (Clarion county,) Capt. Monks ; Eighth Ward Guards, Capt. Wright; McKee Ri fle Cadets,) Birmingham,) Capt. Patterson. These companies all have the full comple ment of men and are ready to march when ever ordered. From the companies already mustered in this regiment promises to be the best yet sent out from Western Penneylvanis, and in Colonel Black it has a gallant and tried commander, who will lead his men on "to glory and to victory." A NUISANC E —A correspondent whole olfactories in common with those of the entire neighborhood, havo been offended by the stench, desires us to call the atten• tion of the Board of Health to the fact that the carcasses of two dead horses are lying on the bar opposite the Point and another opposite the foot of `Penn street. The effect of the sun upon them produces an insufferable odor and will, it is feared, produce disease. The bodies should be removed and the persons who placed them there sought out and prpsocuted. SAM. W. BLACK CITY MORTALITY.—The report of Dr, J. L. Duncan, Physician to the Board of llealtb, for the week endinz, July 22d, shows 39 deaths, 10 male., 9 females; 18 white, 1 colored. Two of the adults died of consumption; four of the children from chronic inflammation, two from dintheria and two of spasms. .Tuk Morrroom&SY GUARDs.—This company, under command of Captain M. Brennan, has been accepted by Col. Sam. W. Black. The company is now nearly full, and a few good men can yet be re. ceir. - ed at the armory, third story of Cus tom House building. ESCAPED FROM TER HOSPITAL.-A gen% tleman who came to the city with General Fremont on Tuesday, E. M. Kern, Esq., was left ill at the Western Pennsylvania Hospital. On Wednesday night, while temporarily deranged, he escaped and has not sines been heard of. REFINERY BURNT.—On Wednesday af ternoon, about three o'clock, a small building in Blairsville, occupied by Mr. Samuel Green as a refinery for coal oil, accidentally took fire, and was burned' to the ground. Mr. Green's loss is $1,100; insurance $3OO. Tax Two MILL TAX LEVIED.—The County Commissioners, yesterday, levied the two mill tax for the support of the families of Allegheny county volunteets, only a few individuals having entered their protest. This makes the total tax this year ten mills. AYPILIATION. - Alderman Humbert, acting Mayor, yesterday committed to jail Robert Collins, of West Pittsburgh, charged with fornication and bastardy, on oath of a Welsh girl named Susan Wil. hams. Fos CAMP RIGHT.--Colonel Campbell has got an order from the Governor per., mitting his recruits to occupy Camp Right, and as fast as they are enrolled they will be sent thither. A.LDRIIMAN DONALDSON yesterday oom• milted Catherine Shild for assault and bat• tery on oath of Elisable Fike. She was subsequently released on bait --Col. Wm..ll...Lambertou._ Letter from Magerstown. Ca a , NUM ilealte.SToWN, July 23, 1861. Ma, Femora—When I wrote you some weeks ago from . 1 1Artinabarg, Va., all was high hope and confidence in the future of this wing of the loyal army. We were as we had reason to believe on the imme• diate advance to Winchester, whither the rebels had retreated from Bunker Hill on our approach, without firing a gun. But a change came over the spirit of our dreams and we loitered around that little town until the spirit of our troops was utterly worn out by inactivity and the total absence of all enterpriza on the part of Can. Patterson—without the shadow of a menace from Johnson at Winchester— without any apparent cause whatever, and as we have good - reason to believe,witbs out any order from the war office, a flank movement on Charlestown was inaugu rated . by Gen. Patuirson tantamount al most to a retreat. That moment the rebels were apprised of the safety of Winchester, and like a wise soldier, the rebel chief de tached the whole of his disposable force to Manassas, in aid of their threatened posi tion at that point, without a single demon stration on our position, and suffering cur imbecile General to draw on his imaging- Lion under the apprehension that the rebels were daily reinforcing themselves for an attack up( n our column, they were quietly detaching reinforcements to their lines at Manassas Junction, whilst Gen. Scott and the Secretary of War were under the reasonable delusion that Patterson was before Winchester, if nut between it and the line of communication to "Manama." Even a demonstration without changing to offer or risk a batLle,would have held Joan sou's forces to Winchester. Thus have affairs progressed until the entire Penn• sylvania contingent became utterly die gusted with the aunirienet-s and want uf en terprise of ther Chief ()ulcer, the impres sion rapidly gaining ground that he had no "stomach" fur a fight, and as that was what the men voluntered for, it was no matter of surprise, they utterly refused to serve a day longer than their stipulated period of service. I still believe, however, for I heard hundreds of the men say, if he would order an advance on - Winchester the day their time expired, they would march with alacrity. Winchester was nearly striped of men to strengthen Beau regard, and it would on last Saturday have Mien an easy prey to cur troops, who had so long been famishing for a fl ht. No,part of . this inglorious termina tion of their campaign is chargeable on the Pennsylvania contingent. - Want of military experience and over caution have been the "bane" of this column, and it is well for the Government that the period of service of some of these high military functionaries has expired. I undertake to say that hereafter they will be dispensed with altogether from any participation in active operations. It is painful in view of recent disasters elsewhere, to criticize the military ability of the generals in the field with which the honor of cur State is most intimately connected, but a high duty de mands that errors, incapacity and meth cieney, however elevated in rank, should he exposed. The institutions cf this great nation are in some degree in jeopardy, and no morbid delicacy should interpose to shield the causes which have led to dis appointment from the public that their repitition in future may be avoided. Wo are now on our homeward march, but I undertake to say that nine out of ten, in the prospect of general officers of adequate abilities, courage and enterprise, will again take the field for the honor of our State and the preservation of our insti tutions. liftittis—Twenty-five car loads of mules arrived from the West yesterday, and were sent Haat immediately, for the use of the government. THE alarm of fire at noon yesterday was caused by the partial burning of the roof of a beer bell in the :;nth Ward. DENrtsTar.—Dr. U.

LATER FROM FORTRESS MONROE MOVEMENTS OF THE MILITARI 'WASHINGTON CITY ITEMS From Harper's fen.% ITEMS FROM LOUISVILLE .ko , S. , &c., , 11 AR!' ICH:6 FERRY, J —(litneral Johnston's force at Winchctitcr is estimated at 42,000, Wore his march Southward to Manassas, including infantry, artillery and cavalry. Of this force eight hundred are Virginian cavalry. under Col. Stuart, and three hundred from Southern States. Three thousand five hundred men left Winchester at 1 p. m , Thursday. By order of Gen. Beaureguard they took the road to Berry's Ford on the Shenan• doab, thirteen end a hal: miles thence,over Blue Ridge to Redmont station and Ma nassas Gap railroad, inak'ng in all twenty eight and a•half miles, requiring two days. The freight and passenger care had been hauled up the load last week, and on them Johnston's force were expected to be trans• ported to the Junctioe. a distance of thire ty or forty miles. There remained at Winchester seven thousand troops until Saturday afternoon, when they left for strasbe.%. , , excei..ting abJut twenty-five hundre-.', of the militia of the surrounding country, who were disbanded and sent home. A large quantity of sums in boxes were sent over to Strasburg. The Virginia cavalry, under Col. Stu art, wt.nt to Birryvillo, to observe the movements of Ger.. Patterson's column.— The rest of the cavalry went with General Johnston. They had at Winchester sixty.. two pieces of artillery in position in the LrlAcations. Abont ten forty-two poun derr, same of which were c...lumbiads, wr r • but the remainder were taken with Johnston. A detachment, of the Washington Artillery, from New Orleans, had eight heavy guns, of which four were 31'pounders. These were hauled by twenty eight horses each. A portion, if not all of these, were brass rifled guns. The fortifications which surrounded the town of Winchester, except on the south side, upon the high ground, were very heavy earth works, made with logs and barrels and filled with earth, etc. In front of the breastworks were deep trenches, communicating below with the Inside of the works. The guns were all masked by artificial thickets of evergreens, which were intended in some cases to be used as embus. cedes for riflemen and sharp shooters.— Among the regiments was one of Ken tucky riflemen, armed with heavy bowie knives, and they refused to take more than one round of cartridge with them, and pro posed to place themselves in the woods for assault. All the fences in frcnt of Winchester were leveled. The fortifications extended two and a half miles. Trees had been felled between Bunker Hill and Winches ter to impede our advance. Fifteen hundred sick are now at Win. cheater, they are generally confined with measels, dysentery and typhoid fever.— The prisoners taken from our column have been sent to Richmond. It it said that Governor Wise has been recalled, with his troops, from Western Virginia. Jeff. Da vis and Gen. Beauregard had done this in opposition to Gen. Lee's advice. The report in some of the Northern and Eastern papers that eighteen regiments of the line had refused to march under Gen. Patterson, was - wholly untrue. The eighteen regiments of the three months' men unanimoualy decided that if they went over their time, they would only go under Gen. Patterson. A successful expedition, consisting of parts of the sth and 28th New York regi. ments returned from Charlestown yester day, bringing with them the remainder of their baggage which they were unable to remove last Tuesday, taking prisoner Capt. Henry Wellmore, of Bradley Johnson's Maryland regiment. Wellmore estimates Johnson's force at forty thousand men, last Thursday. Ereven heavy guns, six thirty-two pounders, and five twenty. four pounders were left by Johnson at Win• chester. LOUISITILLIC. July 24 —A special des• patch to the Courier, from Lynchburg, dated the 28d, says: The rebels captured, at the battle at Bull's Ban 68 cannon, 25, 000 stand of arms and 1,2U0 horses; also; stores and provisions valued at $1.000,000. A buggy and epaulettes,, marked General Scott, were captured. Thu rebel loss is reported 250 killed and 1 000 wounded The Fourth Alabama regiment suffered severely, as did Wade Hampton's legion. Another report.says the Confederate loss was 2,000, and the Federal loss 15,000 killed, and the number wounded and taken prisonea not known. Two members of Congress were taken prisoners. The Journal says that the Kentuckians who escaped from Pensacola have arrived here. They say that only 8,000 troops are before Pickens. They are miserably fed and clothed, and receiving no pay. Since March large numbers have died with tye phoid fever. There have been many dis asters, and almost all the entire force is disgusted and would return home if they could get away. The camp of the State Guard at Mulda rough's Hill was abandoned Teuterday,and the arms returned to this city—also, the camp of the State Guard at Cynthiana. The Twenty-sixth Indiana regiment at New Albany is now fall, and an officer has arrived to muster the troops into ser vice. Governor Jackson, of Missouri, at Mem, phis, made a speech wherein he said a hun dred thousand troops could readily be raised to do battle for the South, if they could get the arms. He had left, twenty five or thirty thousand men under McCul loch and Price who had marched on to Springfield the day of his departure, with a view of attacking Siegel's forces. By this time the attack, doubtless, had been made. The Governor is quite sanguine of redeeming the State from Lincoln's des potism, but desired the co-operation of Tennessee and other Southern States by way of expediting the matter. • Kentucky deserters from Camp Boone, in Tennessee, say they are required to take an oath to support the Constitution of the Southern Confederacy, to serve three years, and to invade Kentucky at any time he presiding officers shall see proper. The large government building, with the navy yard inclosure, at Memphis, has been burned. FORTRESS Monson, July 24.—via Bal. timore.—Two important reconnoisances are taking place to-day, of which I shall have something to say to-morrow. A flag of truce went from Newport News to Yorktown to-day with two ladies and a gentleman, who wished under peculiar circumstances to return to their homes in Virginia. Several rifled 42-pounders have recently arrived from Yew Kork, some of them will be mounted on the Rip Raps.— A number of artillery officers recently from Fortress Monroe, are among the missing in the Manassas repulse. There was an alarm last night and it is expected that Col. Magruder will shortly make a demonstration in this direction. Col. Maxweber is now in command at Ramp ton. The regiments have been withdrawn inside of the intrenchments which nearly surround the village. NEW YORK, July 25 —The United 'Stara siesta transport Vanderbilt tea 'ar rived from Fort Pilckans on the 16th, and from ,Fort, Jefferson on the 20th.

CO NG RESSIONAL PROCEEDING &c., tte WASHINGTON, July 25 --SENATE Mr. Fessenden, of Maine, made a repprt, from the Committee of Conference on the L9gislation Appropriation Bill. The re port was agreed to, and the bill stands passed. Mr. Johnson, of Tenn:, moved to take up the resolution offered yesterday, which was agreed to. Mr. Polk, of Mo, moved to amend it so as to read that the present civil war was forced on the country by the dieunipnists, in the Southern and Northern Statek and strike out what wts said , about being in arms against the,gov_ernment. Mr. Collamer, of Vt., asked if the Sena tor knew of any disunionists in the North% ern States in the revolt. Mr. Polk said he believed there were disunionists in the North, and had read L , peeches rejoicing at the present state of i things The amendments was disagreed to. Yeas, 4 Nays, 33. Messrs. Johnson, of Mo., Kennedy, Polk and Saulelury, voting in the affirmative. Mr. Breckinridge, of 11y., said he could not vote for the resolution as it did nut state the facts in regard to the war being forced on the country by Southern diss unionista. Hie opinion was that the press ent condition of the country was due to the refusal of the majority last winter to make any conciliation. He did not think that the attack on Fort Sumter was any cause of any general war, and the Pres ident was responsible for the general war now ex:xting. He did not think that Con gress had done its duty to the whole country. • He believed that the war was prosecuted for the purpose of subjugad Lion, and not for the maintenance of the Constitution, for the Consti tution was trampled on every day. lie believed that if war was carried on for twelve months, it would be the grave of constitutional liberty; that was his humble judgment. Peace is what we need for the restore ion of the government and the preservation of constitutional liberty. Mr. Sherman, of Ohio. thanked God that the Senator from Kentucky did not represent the voice of Kentucky. The President has not brought about this war, but it was forced on our country by those who fired on our flag and committed other nets of war. The truth is, tho people have forberne too long with Southern treason. They demanded a new Constitution with provisions, and because they could not do this, they tried to break up the govern.- ment. He thought all this ,clap trap about subjugation should be dismissed from the Senate. He thought the resolution liter ally true, but the Senator justifies those who forced the country into war and charges the majority of the Senate and President with the attempt to subvert the Constitution. He (Mr. Sherman) was for the war to save the country and was wil ing to give all he had,and even his life for the purpose of protecting the government. Mr. Breckinridge replied, contending that the arguments had not been answered. He professed to stand on the constitution as much as any other Senator, and he thought that he did represent the state of Kentucky. But if Kentucky was to go into this horrible and fratricidal war, he whould acquiesce but would be no Senator on this floor. The Senator from Ohio closed by saying ho was for the Union. He would close as a Senator from Kentucky and a friend of the Constitution, and a philanthropist by saying that he was against the war. Mr. Doolittle, of Wis., defended the majority of the Senate and Administration from being the cause of the war. He said no terms of compromise would be received last session, but the rebels in arms demand ed what could not be granted for- the very purpose of having the States go out He charged the friends of the Senator from. Kentucky with a design to break up the` Union when they broke up the Charleston Convention. Mr. Burnett, of Kentucky, was not hi his seat during the explanation. The House passed the Senate's joint rv4.• solution appropriating $2,000, in order that the President may adopt such meaaP urea as may be necessary to insure a repree sentation of the United States at the World's Pair, at London, in 1262.
