The pressure brought to benr upon the
President for the removal of the Secretary
of the Navy, hu at length been successful;
thotantiquated old gentlemoushas been re
lieved of the cares, anxieties and perplex
ities of the Navy Department. No more

the New York liras, because he did not

'President Lincoln appears to have a
very singular rule in regard to first class
appoiatments to office. Whenever one of
his appointees demonstrates his inability
to discharge the duties of his station, the
Executive very properly removes him, but
only to confer upon him some position
far more important than the one he held.

On Wednesday last this reneg:ule made
mother tierce assault upon the President,
but he was-handsomely repulsed by Mr.

Mr. llickman, of Pennsylvania, made a
fierce assault upon President. Lincoln. as
serting that his cowardice and shirking
from responsibilities assumed by him whenhe took- the oathof Office had forced Con
gress to adopt measures to bring him up
to his duty, Had Jackson been President,
said Mr. _Hickman, no legislation of this
contemptible character would have been
required; but now Congress is Compelled
to perform its own duties.,and those of the.
President also. .'. Meal ieh ofsMr.:Crit

the general proposition of the bill, which
contemplated the destruction of all the
rights in their property of citizens of the
States now in rebellion, and making the
President an overseer of a million negroes,
as contrary to:the Constitution and 'the
Most sacred principles 'of law. also
defended the President in-eloquent terms,
denying that he was a coward in declining
to do what the Constitution gives him no

Shiloh Field an Hour After the
Battle.
It was curious to see the strategy resort
ed to by some of the rebels, or their friends.
While surveying the killed• and wounded
in a thickly wooded • locality, but where
trunks of large trees _lay about in a half
rotten state. I stepped upon one to look
about the ground, and, hearing something
move at my feet, looked down upon what
was evidently the figure of a man, covered
up by a blanket, and lying close up along
side the log. The ground was thickly
strewn about him with bodies; many of
whom I found to be only wounded. Lift
ing the blanket from the wounded man's
face, as I dismounted from the log, he im
mediately faltered out, "Oh, sir, I'm wound
ed ; don't hurt me, my leg is broken and
Tni so cold and wet."
Within three feet of this wounded Se
cessionist lay a dead Unionist, with his
hair and whiskers burned off. Just at this
period two or three of our men came up,
and, observing the horrid spectacle of their
dead brother-in-arms, with his hair, whis
kers and clothes so burned, addressed the
wounded man referred to in violent terms,
accusing him of aiding iu setting fire to
their comrade. For a moment I felt ap
prehensive that they might retaliate, but
upon his assuring them that many on both
sides were burned in a similar manner,
quiet was soon restored. I soon learned
that the leaves and dead undergrowth had
been fired in various places by the explo
sion of shells, and also by burning wads,
the fire communicating to the bodies,
burning them shockingly. Some of the
wounded must have been burned to death,
as I observed one or two lying upon their
backs, with their hands crossed before the
face, us a person naturally does when smoke
or heat becomes annoying.
Replacing the b:anket over the face of
the wounded man, I proceeded to step
over another to near by, and was con- ,
siderably startled by a loud exclamation of
pain from another wounded rebel. Having
stepped on a small stick thht hurt a wound
ed limb of his by its sudden movement, he
was compelled to cry out. He, too, was
snugly laid up in ordinary, close alongside
a fallen tree. His wound was serious, and
the poor man begged for some assistance.
The only thing I could do was to get him
l a little. water
,and promise that somebody
would soon come to his relief. I do not
think he received any, however, before the
following day, as it was more than we
vould do to attend to our own suffering
men, night being near, "What will you
do with us? said the wounded man to
me. "Take you, dress your wounds, give
you plenty to eat, and in all probability
when you are able, require yo u to take the
oath of allegiance, and then send you ho me
to your family, if you have one...
Oh, (loci!' replied the suffering map:
I have a family, sir, and that just what
my old woman told me. She said if the
Northern men was so ugly and had as our
Generals says, they must ha . changed a
heap:•. Occasionally there was a pause,
accompanied by a distorted countenance,
that showed the painful character of his
wound. "Stranger.'' continued the pro
strate, "I've got six little boys at home,
and the biggest just goes of errands. I live
on the River, in Alabama (the name
sounded so peculiar that I was not able to
recollect it): 'taint further than that cot
tonwood, from the bank, where my house
stands." ' " What has your wife to main
tain the family with, or does the State help
them ?" said I. "0, she's 'shifty,' my
wife is, stranger, she's mighty shifty;'
she's a Northern born woman, and her
father lives in Wisconsin now. I never
Was North before: - I married my wife
Alabama."
I was obliged to leave this man, who
possessed an under -current of nobility,
although his superficial knowledge had
rilloWed him le follow the fortunes of his
base leaders. He persisted in saying, as I
left him, that he was certain he never had
killed a man.

Mr. Dawes said that Mr. Stevens oppos

that although Cameron denies ever makigig
the contract. He did make one , involving
a million of dollars for European, muskets
three days before he left the .thibinet, but
which the Committee saved. ,
Mr. Dawes was very severe on- Cameren
as giving the fat contracts to his friends to
reconcile old political differences.
Mr. Kelly condemned the Committee as
not being actuated by , a spirit of justice,
and complained of their , conduct towards
Alexander Commiugs, whom they had con
demned on an error of the printer which
as individuals they had refused to correct.
The consideration of the subject will post
poned till Monday.
The -House then adjourned.
SENATE.-Mr. Grimes, of lowa, asked
if any steps had been taken to free these
negroes, as he supposed them to be free by
the act of last summer, being captured in
the service of the enemy.
Mr. Sherman replied that no steps had
been taken that he knew of. He believed
the negroes were still there.
Mr. Wilson, of Maas., said he should
call the matter up on Monday. He thought
some action ought to be had on the . sub
ject.
AMr. Sherman, of Ohio, presented the
resolutions of the Legislature of Ohio con
cerning the rebel prisoners at Columbus,
Ohio, saying that the feelings of the loyal
people of Ohio were outraged by the fact
that the rebel prisoners at Camp Chase
were allowed to retain their slaves by, Col.
Moody, thus practically establishing sla
very in Ohio, and in the name of the peo
ple of Ohio solemnly protesting against
this outrage.
The resolutions were accompanied bi a
note from Governor Tod', saying that Col.
Moody did not permit this state of affairs
—that the slaves wefe sent there as pris
oners' and that Colonel Moody was obliged
to take care of them. •
Mr. Sherman said the fact was that . the
negroes were sent there with their masters .
as prisoners, and did serve their masters,
but he believed no blame could be attached
to Col. Moody or the Governor of. Ohio..
Major Jones, the inspector, had reported
matters all right at Camp Chase.
