IT bat will Congress do 1 Congress meets to-morrow. It will doubt less have it in its power to do much during the session, towards promoting either the weal or the woe of our country. Wo would fain hope that its deliberations will be character ized by enlightened patriotism and profound wisdom. But how far there are just grounds for entertaining such a hope, we will not un dertake to determine. Of one thing we now are certain-those who hope that at this session, anything will be done looking towards a com promise of the unfortunate differences between the Northern and Southern States, or the res toration of peace and tranquility to the coun try, are destined to a bitter disappointment As well might you epect to see grapes grow ing on thorn-trees, or figs upon thistles, as to behold Congress at us present session, grant ing even a respectful consideration, to com rromise or neace measures. The Members r i of Congress will, during the session, be divi ded into three classes. The weakest we will describe first. It will be composed principal ly, perhaps altogether, of the few members from the border slave States who will take their seats, with Crittenden of Kentucky as their leader. They will denounce and repu diate the course of the seceded States in pass ing secession ordinances, in organizing anew Government, and in raising an army to resist the execution of the U. S. laws within their limits. But at the same ti.iie, they will con- tend that the Union cannot be preserved by coercion; that the policy which the National Administration is now pursuing, if successful, will end not in the restoration of the Union to what it was, but in the reducing of the se ceded States to the condition of conquered provinces, to be held in subjection by a large standing army, and that the final result will be the total ignoring of the Constitutiou and State rights, and the formation cf a great con solidated government on the ruins of Ameri can liberty ; that this can only be prevented by staving all efforts or movements on tbe part of our army, to conquer tbe revolted States, and that it i'b not too late now to effect compromise with those Statee, if an honor able one is offered to them in a word that they will gladly accept tbe olive branch if it is held out to them. They will accordingly intioduce a compromise like that offered by Mr. Crittenden last winter, and make long and eloquent speeches iu its favor ; but in doing so, they will hardly hope to secure its adoption. They will merely like Paul be planting, and like Apollius watering, in the hope that God will give the increase here after. Tbe second class will be composed of those members who regard the present war as an effort to preserve the Union and Constitution from destruction, and not as a crusade against slavery. They would gladly if they knew how, consistently with a proper regard for our National honor, avert from our country the horrors of civil war ; but tbey bold that it is now too late to talk about adjusting the matter by a compromise ia a word that the time for compromising has gone by, and that the sword alone can 6avo the Union. They will, consequently, be io favor of doing all they can to enable the Administration to push forward tbe war with vigor, and to conquer the 6eceded States as soon as possible. Tbey will, therefore, go in for promptly ratifying all that the Administration has thus far done, and cheerfully vote it all supplies cf money and men it may demand. They will, howev er, insist that the war shall be carried on in a 6trictly Constitutional manner, and that tbe Government shall do nothing calculated to uudcrmint tbe overcignfy of tb Statee or Augustin Durbin, Chairman. Alleghany Michael M'Guire, Blacklick c M.-zlia fomhria Ir.hn 31 iiriae. load to the formation of a consolidated Gov ernment. The third clas3 will be composed of the ultra Abolition members, of theJHorace Gree ley school, who do not wish to see a cessation of hostilities until every vestige of slavery is exterpated in the Southern States, and who are now endeavoring to brand as traitors and secessionists, all who refuse to endorse their fanatical doctrines, and demand that Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet shall pay some tegard to the letter and spirit of the Constitution. War to the knife." will be their motto during the session, and they will talk of blood and carnage as calmly as did Byron's Corsair. They will not stop to inquire before voting for a measure whether it is constitutional or un constitutional. They will at once endorse it, if they believe that it is calculated to accom plich the darling object they have in view the extermination of slavery. In order to ac complish this, to them, 'consummation devout ly to be wished for," they will stand ready to declare tbeir willingness to welcome war, pes tilence or famine They would regard the conclusion of even an honorable peace with i the seceded States immediately, as a great National calamity, which wculd prevent the accomplishment of that which they regard as the great object of the war. In a Congress thus constituted it is, we re peat, vain to hope that '-peace measures will receive a favorable consideration Perhaps it is better, as matters now stand, that this should be the case. The men who now con trol the Southern Confederacy have no idea, just now, of backing down from their position or of listening to any "peace propositions that do not look to the recognition of their Government as one of the free and indepeu dent powers of the earth. The Crittenden Compromise would be as little likely to be acceptable to them as to the Northern Aboli tiouists. They must be humbled by a few reverses, before they will hearken to the voice of reason and patriotism. It would therefore be alike unpatriotic and impolitic for Congress to do any thing during the coming session calculated to cripple or embarrass the Gov ernment in carrying on the war with proper energy aud vigor. But its members should give the President to understand that they do not regard him as incapable of doing anything that is wrong, and that they will hold him to a strict responsibility, if he oversteps the lira its prescribed for his official acts by the Cou stitution. and fails to take care that the laws be faithfully executed. After his course in usurping to himself the right to suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, we think a plain intimation of this kind to bim from the Legislative branch of the Govern ment highly necessary. Delegate Elections. We deem it unnecessary to again urge on our Democratic readers, the importance of i attending the delegate elections on nxt Sat urday, and securing the election of reliable and intelligent delegates to the County con. vention, who knowing their duty, will have manliness and honesty enough to faithfully discharge it. If the Convention is composed of weak and timid men, who will allow them selves to be bullied and dictated to by a few impudent political demagogues, the party may expect to be saddled with a weak and un available ticket, and certain defeat oa the second tucsday of next October will stare it in the face. Remember Democrats, that you have it in your power to prevent th;s, by selecting your best and most reliable men as dslegates; if failing to do this, dema gouges should "rule the roast." and a weak ticket be placed in the field, you, and vou alone, will be to blame. It will then be but just and truthful to tell you, that knowing your duty you did it not, and that by your own negligence, you entrusted the Party to a few selfish, reckless time-serving dema gouges. We hope the elections everywhere will be conducted harmoniously, and that no man will be recognized as having special clai ms on the party, because he was a Brek- inridge man a or Douglas man during the un fortunate campaign of last year; we must allow bygones to be bygone, if we expect any good to come of the union of the Party for the present contest Let us bury the hatchet with its edge downwards, and afford to the world an illustration of how eood a thing it is for brethern to dwell together io unity. Tfliat'8 In a ame! Our Republican friends do not seem to be lieve with Madam Juliet, that there is nothing in a name, for they have duriog the last six or 6even years, beeu in the habit of annually adopting a new one. In 1854. they were Know-nothings; in 1856. Americans; a few years afterwards, lhe People's party, and du ring the last campaign. Republicans. Now they manifest unmistakable symptoms of as suming tho high sounding title of the Union party. But tbe best of the joke is, that they think this name will constitute a net suffi ciently strong to catch unsuspecting democrats. Keep easy, gentlemen, your Union party dodge will not win. You cannot convert democrats into nigger worshippers by such a transparent sham as that. Tho democracy are, and always have been. Union men. Tho sa&ie thing cannot be truthfully said of you, gentlemen. Nearly a thousand Mormons arrived at New York, on Wednesday, io the Monarch of the Sea, from Liverpool, and pjoceeded to Utah. Tbey are from evtry country in Europe- 5T As we are always willing to encour age, instead of endeavoring to depress native intellect, we publish the following verses. with much pleasure. They are quite as goua as what are given as the earliest written lines of Lord Byron, and as a first effort, will do. Iowever, if our fair correspondent should favor us with aoother effusion, she will please accompany it with her naino ia full. This we require of all our correspondents, not of course for Dublication. but as an evidence of good faith on their part. But for this, we might have frequently palmed off as original, productions which are really not so. CHILDHOOD'S YEARS. Ma. Editor : Please publish these imperfect ines. They express the emotions of a true heart, and are my first attempt at poetry. Oh, the thought is joy to me, Of happy childhood's years, When my youthful life was free. From sorrows, cares and fears. Fond memory darts with arrows fleet, And carries me back agiin, To chiMhood's years and I gaily tread, O'er woodland, hill and plain. . It reveals to my mind a cottage home, In the midst of blooming flowers, Where at bright sunny hours of noon, I sought coul shady bowers. It paints to me in colors new, Familiar scenes most dear. As gay and fair, as bright and true. As u( old they now appear. r It Irings back forms long, long forgot. Fond playmates bright and gay. As hurrying to some chosen spot, We spent long hours at play. And joyously we strolled along. O'er Liil, o'er dale, o'er plain, And lUteirng to the birds of song, We mingled in their strain. We stored no thought for the coming day, No worldly thought obeyed. We thought of nought but joy and play. Where wantcu fancy strayed. I was then a happy child, My youthful heart had known no care All nature 'round me fuudly smiled, And tliss reigned everywhere, But Oh ! those happy years have fled. And ycuth likewise has gone. And those I loved have joined the dead. And left me in this world alone. Dear memory now is all I claim. To soothe my lunely heart and cheer It brings back visions jut the same. As when they gladly hovered near. But this one thought inspires mt heart. Where present bliss le given, With all that in tliis world I part, I may regain in heaven. Lokktto July, 1601. Maggie L. C.

The steamer Pawnee arrived at the Navy Yard this morn ing, bringing interesting but painful intelli gence from Matbias Point. According to the statements oi persons in the expedition. Cart. Ward, of the Fr-eborn, yesterday obtained from Capt. Ilowao, of the Pawnee, a re-inforcement of twenty men, and, united with others from bis own vessel, com prising between thirty and forty in all, started in several cutters for Mathias Point, taking with them about two buodred and fifty bags, which were filled with sand on shore, and with which breastworks were soou erected, the proceedings being under the direction of Lieut. Chaplain. While in the act of return ing to the Freeborn, for the purpose, it is stated, of obtaining cannon for the battery, a force of Cotfederates, variously estimated at from 800 to 1,200. suddenly emerged from a thick wood in which they bad been concealed, and poured a volley of shot into the Federal party, who made a hasty retreat, several of the men by swimming to the Freeborn Capt. Ward, of the Freeborn, protected bis - m m m I men as far as possible with his guns, and fired twelve or fifteen shots among the rebels, with J what effect it could not be ascertained V bile in the act of righting a gun after, it is said, I the gunner bad been wouuded, Capt. u arc was struck iu the breast by a bullet, and in the course of au hour thereafter, died from I internal hemorrhage. A sailor named . J Bess was wounded in four places, it is feared mortally. Several others were wounded, among them Jack Williams, the coxwain, a ball cutering his thigh. The flag he carried was completely riddled. The men all reach- ed the vessel without further damage. Capt. Ward's body was brought here to-day by the Pawnee. At the funeral procession wnicu i accompanied it from the wharf to a place of temporary deposit in the Navy Yard, was dis- J plated the riddted banner. The gloom which prevailed in this locality was oppressive lbe I remains will be transported North, It is saia j that after the Federal forces retr. ated from Mathias Point, the breastworks were immedi ately occupied by the Confederates. The in formation had early in the day been commu nicated bv a negro belonging to Dr. Howe. whose house had been burned by a party from I the Resolute on Tuesday, that the enemy were in the neighborhood at least 1000 strong The negro approached the Federal party a fu gitive. with his shirt on a pole, as a kind of a flag of truce. He has been brought to Wash- ington quite happy at bis escape from the rebel neighborhood. P. M'Quellao, of Charleston, S C, it is reported to the proper authorities, has been in New York making arrangements for sending t..tu m len and military equipments to the South.

Some of tbe members of tbe N. Y. Twelfth regiment of militia unite in a request that it be stated there is no adequate ground for the report that Col. Butterfield treats them other wise than with kindness and a duo regard to their comfort and interest. Gen. Fremont probably arrived here to- night, as such was his intention.

Elder, of Captain Doubleday's com mand, learned from a prty who brought ia a flag of truce yesterday, that the Virginians are forced to feed their horses exclusively on corn; they have no old bay. aod acknowledge that not only provender, but that provisions of all kinds are very scajce. They said every thing in the valley of Virginia has been lit erally exhausted. It is believed that our troops will cros9 the Potomac, partly at Williamsport and partly at Sbeppardstown, cine miles below. Both are excellent fords. If they cross at the lat ter point and push rapidly forward, they might succeed in capturing three hundred cavalry troops. All are inspirited at the idea of a forward movement; the enthusiasm is chilled by the fear that they will be marched ten or mteen miles, and baiteu again ior weeks. Intelligence from Stevenson's station where Johnson's headquarters now are, declares that the force encamped immediately about bim is fall 5,000. He has sixteen pieces of artil- lery. Of these six are rifled twelve pounder two twenty-four pounders of the old kind. two twelve pounder howitzers o the old kiud and the remainder mi pounders; none 0f the latter are rifled. The troops are well drilled, but not so well equipped as ours. Under very strict discipH.e, the rren seem discontented and are slovenly in their habits, Two regiments, one of Alabamians and the other of Mississippians, reached Harper's Ferry this morning aud destroyed the balance 0f the railroad trestle work, and came over to the Maryland shore, seizing all the boats they could get, either breaking them up or taking them over the river. All the Union men of Harpers rerry were again driven out. Alvery, the secessionist leader, was arrcs ted here ten days ago. He leaves here to morrow for Fort M'llenry by way ofChani bersburg and Harrisburg. His trunk is al ready packed. He is under a guard of Me- MuHecs Hangers. Any attempt at -.ecuo would prove hazardous io the extreme have just learned that M'Mulleu's Rangers encamp to-morrow night at bneppardstown Some regiments will be thrown forward with them. The headquarters of Gen. Patterson will be advanced farther southward within a day or two. Capt.
