THURSDAY, Angst Ist, 1861. At the opening of Court, Robert Hague was called and testified that he bad been deputized by the Marshal to attend to the Johnstown cases. He bad instructed Her, ron and Newcomer to go there. He and officer Dougherty arrested Slick. On cross examination witness stated that he had never said that Shoemaker was the only one against whom be had any spite; did not say so in‘presence of Geo. Snyder and Dr. Emerson. Did say that if it had not been that counterfeit money was passed , by shoemaker at his tavern the other par ties up there would not have been arrested. The government here rested their case . and Mr. Noon opened the case for the de fence. In order to convict the defendant three things must be clearly shown —the passing of the money, As baseness and the guilty knowledge of the defendant Slick was a poor judge of money and took a good deal of counterfeit money, which he offered at a store in Johnstown to test its character. They would show that News comer had passed on Slick the very hat dollar he gave to Wendell, and that Her. ron purchased a watch, for which he paid in counterfeit money. It was clear that Slick hal been made the victim of New comer and Herron. They would establish the good character of Slick and ask an ac quittal. John Purcell lived with Slick last May; was bar-keeper. M. R. Brown came Into the bar and called up three or four to drink; gave a bill in payment to Slick. [The bill, the same offered by Slick at Walter & Wehn's store was exhibited to witness, who identified it.] Slick said he did not -like the looks of it, but took it and !narked "K. B. B." on the corner. Slick gave it to a man and told him if it was not good to bring it back and get another, which he did a few days after. Saw Newcomer at Slick's, where he called himself Henry Hershey; also saw Herron there. New coiner came Wednesday, stayed till Fri day, went to town, came back on Satur day and stayed till Monday. On Sunday night he slept on a settee in the bar-room. Witness wee there when Hague arrested Slick; he searched the settee and desk, the settee first. Found on. the settee, after Newcomer slept there, on Wednesday, the 22d, two dollars in silver—three halt dol lars and two quarters, counterfeit. IL was wrapped up in tin-foil. Saw Hershey, on Sunday, on the porch, rolling up something In the same kind of stuff; could not tell what it was. Slick is not a good judge of money. George B. Stineman testified that he lived six miles -from Stick's; was at Slick's on the 22d of May; saw the money found on the settee. There / were four or five others present at the lame John A. Hammer testified that he saw Hershey (Newcomer) at oneeven ing in Ray; Newcomer asked him if he knew of any persons there who dealt in counterfeit money; witness replied there was a good deal of it in that neighborhood. Newcomer then pulled out a half dollar and asked witness if he had ever seen an as good as that; told him it did not loo: ao good; Newcomer said he could pass money as good as that on almost any man; witness said for all he knew it was good. Newcomer then told witness that if he would' take a drink with him, be (New. indite?) would pass the half dollar on Slick ; .., , ,they took the drinks, and the money was thrown down to Slick, who took it and handed out the change. Saw Herron once; mat him between Johnstown and Slick's; that was on Saturday ever.ing, the 18th of May; talked together on the road; Herron asked whether Slick dealt in counterfeit money; witness said he did not know; Her• ron then exhibited a roll of counterfeit paper money; said it was good of the kind, and offered to sell some, which witness de clined to purchase. Herron insisted on his taking some—said he presumed witness was an honest man, and if he would take and pass some of it, he (Herron) would bo round again and witness could pay him half the proceeds. He then showed half a dollar, saying it was all he had of that kidd,! , but he could get plenty more of it. Witness refused to take any of the stuff, and the two separated. On cross•examinatiun, witness stated that he could not describe the clothing of Herron; he had not a straw hat on; he had • on a low hat, but could not say whether white or black: his clothes were rather dark. Herron offered witness a five dollar bill on the York County Bank. He told witness he had made $6O in two days pas• sing counterfeit money. Prosecution asked witness whether he had not been arrested himself at Johns town, for passing counterfeit money. The question was overruled by the tour. Prosecution then asked witness if he bad made information against the man who offered him the five dollar bill. Witheas replied that he had. The infor tatitioti was made after the arrest of Slick; told the story to Slick before Ids arrest. The home of the party was the same that showed witness on the tavern regis.. Robert B. Gageby testified that be was resent when Slick was arrested, and that Signe Rare hed under the clothing on the WM% Berthold testified that he was Intimate with Slick, and that he was a poor judge of money. His reputation for kmesty was good up to his arrest. On cross•examination he stated that, be fore Slick's arrest, he bad heard of him giving out counterfeit money,. and after wards redeeming it. Emil Weaver had known Slick from boyhtiod; always believed his reputation [pod. On crrosseexamination, he stated that he had _heard of Slick passing counterfeit money before this, but he was not charged With passing It knowing it to be oc,unter• felt. Isaac Harshberger testified that he had kubitn Slick since boyhood, and. so far as he knew, his reputation was good. When cross examined he stated that he had heard several persons say that blick had passed counterfeit money. These per sons were here as witnesses for the govern ment. Geo. Conrad and Henry Walters testi fied to defendant's good character for hon. esty prior to this charge. Thee latter, of the firm of Walters & Wehn, testified that Slick bad been dealing at one of their stores-for some five years; he Often sub., witted paper money, good and bad, to witness, for his opinion; did not think he was ',good judge of money. Geo. Heltzel, James H. Michell and Robert Duncan testified to the good charac ter of defendant before his arrest. Here the defense'rested and District At. torney Carnahan introduced the following rebutting testineney: R. B. Gageby testified that . John A.. Hammer's reputation for, truth was not good; he would' not like to believe him on oetb- Lied heaid several; Pour "of whom be named, say they would not like to be,- Bove Mick.

Mr. Noon addressed ' the jury on behAlf of dordidaul'briefly, and was followed by Siiartailldr.ktr, who el-pounded-the latv atitttinalyted the 'tettimdny adduced in an able manner. At the conclusioa of Mr. S's whims, Court adjourned to meet at ten o'clock on Friday morning. Col, David Campbell. Below will be found a card from Col. David Campbell, of the Twelfth, who was ao bitterly assailed by some of the returned soldiers of his command. The card shows that the charges against him are unfounded and is a most complete vindication. The officers and men of the Twelfth, as.. sembled at City Hall yesterday afternoon to take some action towards a refutation of the charges made against Col. Campbell. Orderly Sergeant McNary,of the Wash. ington Blues, was chosen chairman. Col. Campbell made a statement, substantially the same as that in the card below. This seemed to give satisfaction to all except the City Guatde , the members of which retired with ,the avowed determination of paying their own bills, and demanding the refunding.:Of the Money withheld from them for regimental purposes. It was thihx"resolved that each company select one priVate, the whole to form a board for auditing the claim against the regiment, after which the meeting ad journed with nine cheers for Cul. Camp. bell. Col. Campbell's card la as follows: Ida. Enrrou—Understanding at Cock. eysville, -Md., a few days since, that some members of the Twelfth Regiment (who had returned to this county) were quite busy in attempting to damage my repute. tion, I sent the f.llowing telegram to a friend for publication : COCKEYSVILLE, July 29, 1861. I will arrive with my regiment to morrow or Wednesday, and counteract the abuse heaped up on me by men anxious to exculpate themselves from dishonor and disgrace. I covet the st rieleat sorutiny into every private and official sot of mine- DAVID CAMPBELL 01. Com. Twelfth Reg' t. I 61 /ill now proceed to make this promise good, and trust that I may succeed in re moving the effects produced by malicious slander. 1 feel somewhat sensitive in be ing compelled to resort to newspaper pub lications for the vindication of my char, meter for naked honesty, especially in a city in which I have all my life resided, and in which all my hopes and Interests are blended: li,nough of this, however, for the present. The charge preferred, against me is that two dollars and fifty cents was deductel from the pay of each soldier in my regiment, without any ex planation being given, thereby leaving the inference to be drawn that I had appropri ated this money to my own use. Now mark how plain a tale will put this down. In the rapid organization of volunteer forces many expenses are incurred not pro.' vided for in the regulations, but which, nevertheless, are honestly contracted, and should be honorably paid for. Of this class of expenses is an item of boarding for the members of Company Jr., (City Guards) whilst at York, ra., amounting to one hundred and sixty-nine dollars, which has repeatedly been presented for payment, and which it was intended should have been adjusted out of this fund. In addition thereto was a bill for the services of a private physician, who attended one of their members during a long and dan gerous illness; that soldier, by the way, deserved all the care and attention that was or could be bestowed upon hlm. There is also another bill of one hundred and fifty dollars contracted for by Company B, (Duquesne Grays,) with a well known hosier in this city, whim it was intended also to have paid. 1 mention these two companies from the fact that all the mu. mots have, as far as T. can understand, emanated from theta; in the drat from a groat body of them who, having returned from the service of their country some days before the expiration of their enlistment, thought it necessary to attack the repute. tion of the commanding officer of the reg. invent, with the hope and expectation that the excitement consequent thereon would save them from the merited eonterup which such conduct deserved In the second instance, the charge pros ceeded from a constitutional and dyspeptic grumbler, who is•attaehed to Company B, and had the reputation of being a news.. paper correspondent, whose letters were written over the initial D, and who would sacrifice the reputation of tie corps to which he is unfortunately attached, by dragging into notice transactions which should have been screened from the public gaze. With regard to the allusion made by this correspondent to the custom of paying regimental bands out of the pay of the commissioned officers, I think that the contribution to this fund by them has been exceedingly liberal, and that, should the overplus necessary to settle for that branch of the service encroach slightly upon the pay of the private soldier, there should be no grumbling or objection. There are many other bills which it was in contemplation to pay, in the different companies of the regiment (and of some magditude too) to which I do not care to refer, as I have discovered no disposition on the part of their members to carp or complain. The companies from the rural districts have acted with discretion and good taste, satisfied to await the report of the disbursing officer without dragging into public notice the private affairs of the Regiment. When the assessment was made, the understanding was explicit and distinct that the - bills for which payment was to be asked were to be submitted to a Board of Officers for, approval, and that should there be any surplus funds after paying such debts, it would be returned to the contributort-pro rota at the final mus. ter out and pay. lam not the receipient nor the custodian of the fund, not ac knowledging myself as a financial or busis DINS agent for the regiment. The funds are, however, deposited by the Quarter master, who will disburse them honestly and faithfully. My object in creating this fund, was to pay debta justly and honestly due from members and companies, to honest Citizens of York and elsewhere, and thereby. pre serve the character and reputation of the regiment for financial, as well as inertial discipline. The subsequent conduct of some of its members convinces me that I acted with commendable precaution. DAVID DAMPIIIIL L. Pittsburgh, August Ist, 1861. Aca.NowixooniENT.—At a nieeting of Sergeant D. M. Spence's squad, held on Thursday, the following was unanimously adopted. To 'Messrs. J. E. Bailey, Dsy, Love, Grove, Williams, McA.bee, ()finnan and others, of Freeland's station, N.

Johnson's Army on the Move Northward Latest from Harper's Ferry RETREAT OF CEA: WISE ITFAIS FRO&I LOUISVILLE CONGRESSIONAL. PROCEEDINGS WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 1-11,iusz.— Mr. Stevens, from the Committee of Con f..rence on the Supplementary Lean Bill, made a report explaining that the disa greements of the two Houses have been compromised by striking out 9 per 'cent um' in certain cases and substituting "six per cent." Also modifying the sub tress. ury act, so that instead of gold and silver being immediately paid into the Treasury as now required, the money derived from the loan may remain in solvent banks un til it shall be drawn out in pursuance of the law. Mr. F. A Conkling, of N. Y., inquired whether the committee obtained the duties from tea, coffee, sugar, etc., as a pledge for the loan. Mr. Stevens said the Senate would not consent to that and rather than lose the bill, the House Committee agreed to aban don that clause. The report was then adopted by a vote of 83 against 34. Mr. Elliot, of Mass., from the Commit tee on Commerce, reported a bill io sus. pead in part the operation of the act of March, 1845, relating to revenue cutters and steamers, so as to allow the Sticre,ary of the Treasury to apply so much of the appropriation for the collection of the reve nue, to the charter or purchases of vessels for revenue service as may be necessary. Passed. The Senate bill authorizing the appoint. ment of Aid-de Camps in addition to those now allowed by law, by the President, on recommendation of either ft Lieutenant General or of Major Generals, was passed. The Speaker appointed as a Committee on the part of the House to examine and report as to the compensation of all officers of the government with a clew to re trenchment, Messrs Morrill of Vt , Ulin and Allen. Mr. Blair, of 140., rising to a personal explanation read some remarks of Thurlow Weed against him and his brother. The Postmaster General, derogatory to them in connexion with the war; as to the lat ter, that gentleman could tattil care of himself. Although differing from Gen. Scott with reference to the conduct of the war, their personal relations were of the kindest character. Mr. Blair referred to Mr. Richardson's repetition of the waver,' sation between Scott and the President, relative to the late battle, and involving the responsibility of the light. Mr. Rich ardson did nothing. His language bad been fairly construed, if it was supposed he had said or intimated that Scott implied that the President has forced him into the movement. Mr. Blair alluded to this matter for a double purpose, He under stood that Scott did in that conversation exhonorate the President from having any part in forcing him to the battle. Mr. Richardson repeated that he did not understand Scott as implying that the President forced him to fight that, battle. Mr. Blair replied that the President should retain the confidence of the people of the country, but this he could not do so long as, it is held out that the President forced Scott to fight the battle against his will, but as the President did not take the iesponsibility of forcing a battle before the troops were ready.he will still retain, as he deserves, the confidence of the people. Mr. Richardson in a further explana tion said it was, the other day, no part of his purpose to make any assaults on the President Mr. Blair reminded the gentleman that he said Lincoln was an honest man when let alone, but the rresident was surround■ ed by Wiley politicians against whom he (Richardson) feared the President bad not the courage or the will to stand. Mr. Richardson replied. His remarks on that occasion were not as well expressed as they ought to have been. If this meaning was understood because his language was unhappy, he rejected it. The House adjourned, Siswarx.—ldr. Grimes, of lowa, gave notice that be should introduce a bill de claring unconstitutional, the act making a retrocession of a part of the District of Columbia to the State of Virginia. The bill to promote the efficiency of the volunteer forces of the United States .was taken up and passed. Mr. Chandler, of Mich., from the Com mittee on Commerce, reported a bill redu cing the Consular fees on vessels running to or between foreign ports. Passed. The bill to punish frauds on the part of officers making contracts for the govern ment, returned from the H0U843,W9,8 t.aken up. Mr. Wilson moved a reconsideration of the vote, by which the former amendments of the House was agreed to. After some discussion the motion was withdrawn and the bill passed. Mr. Wilson, of Mass., made a report from the Committee of Conference, on the bill for the better organization of the army. Passed. The Committee on Conference on the loan bill, made a report which was agreed to and the bill passed. The bill for theeappression of the insur rection was taken up and a long discussion ensued. On a motion to postpone till the next session, Mr. Breckinridge, of Ky., said he should vote for a postponement. He was glad to see the Senate at last pause before a single bill. He wished this bill was pub lished in every newspaper in the country, believing that it would meet with universal condemnation. He thought the tendency of this bill was to abolish all State govern ment, and destroy the last vestige of posit. ical and personal liberty . Mr. Trumbull, of 111., contended that some bill of this kind was necessary, from the exigencies of the times. The Constitu tion was in danger. We have voted men and money to carry on the war to save the constitution, and how can we justify our. selves without maturing a bill so much needed. If we postpone the bill we will allow the Constitution to be violated every day, and leave the military to do as they please without restriction. Mr. Breokinridge said the drama was beginning to open. The D3enators wbo urged this war have commenced to quarrel among themselves. The Senate has already passed a general confiscation bill, and also a general emancipation bill. The Police Commissioners at Baltimore have been arrested without any law, and car ried off to an unknown place, and the President refuses to 44. the House what they were arrested for add what has been done with them. Yet you call this liberty and law. The Senator from Illinois, Mr. Prowning had said that he Mr. Breckin. ridge Ilik4 wailed the Presi dent, with sever. .jty lt if lig ni Iu the midst of Otlic eveitit hi) could not cherish personal -sgrimosity, 'resident. ge never MittalaieS'eutii : 1.7 Virit• On the "conateryi belthOgki Oicire highly 0§ him itkaiidia wait Qugig,i3oumenorit. tie.. he. lievgff hiuktopa honestmassiumnpling the,CkeiatitudoW ASer foot with good mo tives, but from Aral counsels.:; ;Brock inridge said that the Preddent bad. le?.. authority to deolare a State hatisurreotiom, Mr Biker contended that the President had the right to dealer° a diettrictin insur.. rection whether it composed; a State or two States. When the civil power is over thrown the President must call on the military to preserve the government. The only thing the President can do is to /Or yam, armies and put down rebellion The Senator from Kentucky Mande up bravely to speak sentiments which he holds but what are they but spirit and comfort-to the enemy, what are they but brillian t Words —polished treason even in the very Capital. Would the Senator have"us yield to treason? ' There was nothing left for ne but tO go forward_ W hat would have been thclight of a Roman Senator who declared' for peace when Carthage was advancing on Rome. A Senator near me says he would have been hurled from the Tarpeian Rock. The North and East will never falter, but give all its blood and treasure to support the government. Ho foretold a brilliant fortune for the Republic. After further discussion, the St hate went into executive session, and subs( queial) adjourned. 011==11:==IMI SANDY HOOK, August I.—No important movements have been made yet. An ad. ditional force has been sent up the river to guard the ford at Harper's Ferry.
