The bill was ordered to be printed, and re

Mr. Chandler announced the death of Hon.
I:ingsley S. Bingham, of Michigan, during the

Bousr.—Mr. Pendleton, of Ohio, spoke strong
ly against the suspenaion-of the habeas corpus, by
the President; and contended that none but abn
i,ress had this power.
Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, replied. The substance
of the reply is thus reported:
Mr. Bingham,: or Ohio, replied that all his col
league had said or cook say bad been fully and
atisfactorily answereeby the argument of the
orney General, heretofore submitted. Not
withstanding the ability of his colleague, he, Mr.
I 'endleton, bad not been able to disguise the fact
that the time had come which was contemplated
I , y the words of the ConiAntiph . for the suspen
.' ing of the writ of habeas c'orpus. It was import,-
:lit that some power should do so. If this be
conceded, then his colleague's argument des
! eoyed itself. It implied a censure on the House
not discharging the duty long ago, as required
y the oath which they had all taken to support
t:ie Constitution. His •colletigue'S position was
at Congress alone can suspend this writ, while
.conceding that the time was come for its,suspen.
t ion. When rebellion had lifted 1106 head over
.b large portion of this republic and essayed to
.hake down the pillars of the Constitution, and
had deluged the land . in fraternal bltiik it r ifts
1:0 time to be splitting hairs as to whether Con
crests or the President should tint exercise the

lower.
Did his colleague contemplate a general jail
Lelivery or wish to confine his sympathies to the
rebels and conspirators of the city of Baltiinore?
Had he no sympathies for those confined in the
.old Capitol? Why should not they also be die
charged. Assuming his colleague's position - to
I,e right., then his colleague was direlect
in his duty, in not moving a suspension of the
ivrit in accordance with the oath he bad taken to
maintain, protect and defend the Constitution.
The laws are to be executed, and not only exe
ented by force, but by the sword, against the
Towers of rebellion. It did not lie in the mouths
fit' the memorialists to claim the benefit of the
t'onstitution, every provision of which they had
trampled under foot.
On motion of Mr. Burlingame, the whole sub
ject was laid on the table, by a vote of 108 Yeas
to 28 nays.

The number is now not less than 22,000:
VESSELS CAPTURED
Since the institution of the blockade, one hun
dred and, fifty-three vessels have been oaptured
sailing under various flags, inost of which were at
tempting to violate the blockade. With few ex
ceptions, these vessels were in such condition,
when seized, as to authorize their being sent at
once to the courts for adjudication and condemna
tion as prizes. Appended to this report is a list
of the vessels which have been captured.
SINKINC} VESSELS
One method of blockading the ports of the in
surgent States, and interdicting communication
as well as to prevent the egress of privateers
which sought to depredate on our commerce, has
been that of sinking in the channels vessels laden
with stone. The first movement in this direction
was on the North Carolina coast, where there
are numerous inlets to Albemarle and Pamlico
Sounds, .and other interior waters which Afforded
facilities for eluding the blockade, and also to
the privateers. For 'thispnrpose a class of small
vessels were purchased in Baltimore, some of
which have been placed in Ocracoke Inlet.
Another and larger description of vessels were
bought in the Eastern market, most of them such
as were formerly employed in the whale fisheries.
These were sent to obstruct the channels of
Charleston harbor and the Savannah river;. and
this, if effectually done, will prove the most econ
omical and satisfactory method of interdicting
commerce at those points.
ESTIMATES AND APPROPRIATIONS
The amount appropriated at the last regular
session of Congress for the naval service for the
current year was $13,168,075.86. To this was
added at the special session in July last, $30,-
446,875.91—making for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1862, an aggregate of $43,615,551.77.
This sum will not be sufficient, however, for the
purpose, and therefore additional appropriations
will be necessary. There will be required to pay
for vessels purchased, and for necessary altera
tions incurred in fitting them for naval purposes,
the sum of $2,530,000; for the purchase of addi
tional vessels, $2,000,000; and for the construc
tion and completion of twenty iron-Clad vessels,
sl2,ooo,ooo—making a total of $16,530,000.
This sum is independent•of the estimates submit
ted for the next fiscal year, and being required
for current expenses as well as objects of imme
diate importance, it is desirable should receive
early attention from Congress.
The estimates submitted by this Department
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1868, amount
to $44,625,665.02, viz.:
For the navy proper,.. $41,096,530 25
For the marine c0rp5,......::...... 1,105,656 77
For navy, yards, hospitals, maga
zines and miscellaneous objects, 2,423,478 00
The reports of the chiefs of the bureaus and
the commandant of the marine corps, with their
accompanying estimates, exhibit in detail the ob
jects for which the appropriations are required.
I would also refer to these reports as containing
information and suggestions in regard to matters
pertaining to the several departments of the naval
service.
Our navy has increased in vigor more rapidly
than had ever been witnessed before in any na
tion. And it is destined still to increase. These
great armaments are attended with vast expense,
but if we would have peace and the blessings of a
self-government and a good government, we must
meet the cost. The millennium is not here yet,
and will not he during this generation. To avoid
war we must be prepared for it. If we are evi
dently strong and always ready, none will wan
tonly assail us; and if then we are also disposed
to be just and courteous to our neighbors, we will
live in undisturbed quietness. This domestic
trouble - has come upon. us as much by the unpre
paredness and unwarlike character of the North,
as by the ambition and injustice of the South.
It behooves us with energy and justice to settle
this, and ever after to show such a spirit and
audit a readiness for self-defence, that neither do
mestic nor foreign foe will be tempted to disturb
the nation's peace.
Postmaster-General's Report.

The subject of dead letters, or miscarriage of
lettere, is one 'of much ; importance. The
following is the substance , of, the remarks in
the report:
The result of successful investigation in seven
thousani five hundred and sixty cases confirm
the pa.vt experiences of the Department that the
tailure of a letter to reach its destination is, in
the vast majority of instances, the fault alone of
the writer or sender. • ' ,
Out of the above seven thousand, five hundred
and sixty valuable dead letters three thousand,
,ancininety-five were directed to the wrong office,
four hundred and sixty-seven were .imperfectly
addresedoix hundred and twelve were directed
to transient persons, two hundred and fifty-seven
to parties:who had changed their residenoes,
eight bundred and twenty-one were addressed to
fictitious persons or firms, eighty-three were =-
called for, ten without any directions, twenty
one hundred and thirty-six were not mailed for
want of postage stamps, seventy-nine were mis
t:sent; and for the failure of postmasters to deliver
one hundred and thirty-three, no sati s fa c t or y
reit:eon was assigned. • The Department, there
fore, can justly be held'responeible for the non
delivery of but two hundred and twelve of those
lettece. '
Much other valuable 'detail; given on this sub
ject, and it is worthy of remark that out of
seventy-six thousand seven hundred and sixty
ninerlettere, before alluded to, originating in the:
loyal States, and addressed to 'residents of dis
loyal States, forty thousand could not be return
ed, either because the signature of the writer
was incomplete, or because the letter contained
no clue to his residence. The experience of the
Department shows that a large proportion cif do
mestic letters, written by educated Persons, and
particularly by women, are deficient in one or
both of these respects.
,Tha-Poifsfteiiiter-Gimeral givesthis reason for
,excluding disloyal publications from the mails.

direct interference. Of the cases presented for
It's action, upon the principles which he names,
he has, by order, excluded from the mails, twelve
of these treasonable publications, of which sev
eral had been previously presented by the Grand
Jury as incendiary and hostile to Constitutional
authority.
While the. Postmaster-General did not claim
the authoriy to suppress any newspaper, how
ever disloyal and treasonable ita contents, the
Department could not be called upon to give
them circulation. "It could not, and would not,
interfere with the freedom secured by law, but I
could and did object to the dissemination of that
license which was without the pale of the Con
stitution and law. The mails established by the
United States Govenment could not, upon any
known principles of law or probable right be
'Used for its destruction. As well could the com
mon carrier be required to transport a machine
designed for the destruction of the vehicles con
veying it, or an innkeeper be compelled to enter
tain a traveller whom he knew to be intending to
commit a robbery in his house."
He finds these views supported by the high au
thority of the late Chief Justice Story, of the
Supreme Court of the United States, whose
opinion he quotes.
A contest between weapons for assault, and
shields for protection, has been ever carried on
in the fields of art and science. At. present the
effort is to obtain ships, which shall be invulnera
ble by artillery. The cannon and projectiles'of
recent invention are adequate to the speedy de
struction of all such vessels of war as had hith
erto carried the British sailors triumphantly over
every sea. The question now is, whether vessels
can be so built as to be indistructible by the im
proved cannon. The English and French think
they have made the attainment, and are rapidly
transfroming their navies from wooden to iron
Following the example, our Congress, at the
late extra session„appropriated a million and a
half of dollars for the procuring of iron-clad
ships-of-war. The matter was entrusted to three
of, our distinguished Navy officers. Tbese have
arranged for the building of three such vessels.
One of these we, find described in the Scientific
American. It is called
This vessel is to be of a very singular con
struction. It will not be near the size of a cona
.mon line-of-battle ship. It is to, be 174 feet
long, and 44 feet broad. It will have a wooden
bulwark 80 inches thick, coated with rolled iron
6 inches thick. It is to have a turret on the cen
tre, of 30 feet diameter, 9 feet high, with walls
of rolled iron .9 inches thick. This will contain
two immense guns, and be capable of being
so turned that the guns can be pointed in any di
rection. It will be propelled by steam.

The contract for this structure was made Oc
tober sth. It was to be completed in a hundred
days—say on January 13th. A thousand men
are now employed on it. Several rolling-mills
are engaged in preparing the iron. It is sup
posed that it will be able toapproach and de
stroy any battery of the rebels, on our coasts
and rivers.
We have not seen any description of the other
two vessels. They will be different in construc
tion, but of equal, or greater power. With,the
three completed, our, navy officers hope to be
able to reach and capture Norfolk, and to re-take
Sumpter.
DECEMBER 4.—Charles J. Faulkner, of Vir
ginia, will be released from Fort Warren, on his,
parole. The .letter has probably already , been
mailed for that purpose. He will proceed imme
diately South, and procure a similar release of
Hon. Alfred Ely. If not successful in that er
rand, he has pledged himself to return to cus
tody in thirty days.
A letter from Port Royal says that one of the
Quartermasters, on his own responsibility, has
set forty cotton gins at work. The negroes re
ceive three cents per pound for all the market
able cotton, and have gone into the business with
enthusiasm.
DECEMBER 6.—Lieut. Col. Tteynolds has been
appointed resident agent at Port Royal, under
the general regulations relative to securing and
disposing of the property found or brought
within the territory now or hereafter occupied
by the United States forces in the disloyal States.
He has been ordered to report to the Secretary
of the Treasury.
The account given by a New-York paper, of
the difference between the President and Mr.
Cameron in regard to amending the report of the
latter, is grossly unjust to the President. Mr.
Cameron yielded to the suggestions of the . Presi
dent, and himself amended his report by striking
out such parts as the President objected to,
agreeing to support the President's views fully
and cordially.
DECEMBER 7.—The steamer lit: Vernon, yes

Officer of the Potomac flotilla, to the Harriet

It is believed from all that can be gathered
that the rebel force in front of our lines numbers
at least 100,000 men.

Gen. Smith's division, went out to-day in the
neighborhood of Vienna, and gathered ninety
four wagon-loads of forage. No enemy was seen

The policy of colonizing . the negroes of rebels
who may be confiscated and emancipated during
the war, had a thorough discussing in the
Cabinet; end developed great strength and popu
larity. Mr. Seward lends to the measure his
cordial 'and -unqualified support. It will doubt
less be adopted as an Administration measure.
Gen. Wool recently held a council with his of
ficers, and they unanimously came to the conclu
sion that a demonstration ought to be made
upon Richmond from that point. Gen. Wool is,
therefore, anxious that the dovernment should
give him the requisite number of men and means
for that purpose. The subject is before the Gov
ernment,

Creeks, and Seminoles have arrived here to ex
amine and report to their people the true condi

THE INTERVENTION IN .MEXICAN AFFAIRS
We have at length the
. treaty between England,
France, and Spain, relative to their intervention
in Mexico. We give its principal, features:
Her majesty, the , Queen of the United King
dom of Great Britain and Ireland, Her Majesty
the Queen of Spain, and 'His Majesty the Empe
ror of the French, feeling themselves compelled,
by the arbitrary and' vexatious conduct of the
authorities of the Republic of Mexico, to de
mand from those authorities more efficacious
protection for the persons and , properties of their
subjects, as well as a fulfillment of the obliga
tions contracted toward 'their Majesties by the
Republic of Mexico, have agreed to conclude a
Convention, with 'a view to combine their com—
mon action. .
Aim 1. Her Majesty the Queen of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Her Ma
jesty the Queen of Spain,6and His Majeity the
Emperor of ‘he French, engage to make, imme

the coercive measures contemplated by the pres

internal affairs of Mexico any influence of a na

nicated to the Government of the United States,
that the Goverment shall be invited to accede
to it, and that in anticipation of that accession
their respective Ministers at Washington shall be
at once furnished with full powers for the.pur
pose of concluding as signing, collectively or
separately, with the Plenipotentiary designated
by the President of the United States, a Conven
tion, identical, save the suppression of the pres
ent article, with that which they sign this day.
But as by delaying to put into execution articles
I. and 11. of the present Convention, the high
contracting'parties would incur a risk of failing
in the object which they desire to attain, they
have agreed not to defer, with the view of ob
taining the accession of the Government of the
United States, the commencement of the above
mentioned operations beyond the time at which
their combined forces can be assembled in the
neighborhood of Vera Cruz.
There is much speculation in the foreign jour
nals on this subject. Difficulties are anticipated.
Some anxiety is manifested as to how it may be
viewed in the United States; it being an inter
ference such as, since the days, of President
Monroe, our Government has said it would not
permit. The protestation is that it is not in
tended to be inimical to us, and will.not inter
fere with our blockade.

DIND—In Lake City, 'Minn., on the 24th ult.. Mr. WM.
A. PATTHRSON, a Licentiate of the Presbytery of Carlisle.
Mr. P. was born near Mereersburg, Pa., July 22d,1860,
and in his twentieth year became a member of the church in
this place, by a profession. of his faith in Christ. He was
graduated at Marshall College in 1852. and afterwards spent
''four years in the Western Theological Seminary. Ito was
licensed to preach the Gospel by the Presbytery'of Carlisle,
June 17th, ; and having preached with great acceptance
fora year, to the churches of Dillsburg and Petersburg, a
call for his services as pastor was presented to him, which
being accepted, the. Presbytery met on the 14th of August,
1860, to ordain and install him. But Mr.' Patterson's health,
which had been feeblW for some time, gave - way so seriously-,
About the time of the meeting of Presbytery, that lie could
uut,be present, and therefore was not ordained.. Nor was he
ever able after this to resume his labors. The following
Winter he spent in Mercersliurg, and the succeeding Summer
in Minnesota; hoping that by means of that invigorating
climate he might be enahladto resume the dutiea of the min
istry. For a time, his health seemed re improve. Bu? sod
denly and unexpectedly, on the 2411 of. November, he web
called to Isis reward in heaven. Iris death took place in the
hoise of the Bor. Wm. Speer, a • kinsman, in whose family
he met with every ltindneis which a stranger in a strange
land needed.
Mr. P. was a Matt of deep piety, of cultivated mind, of
genial disposition, and more than ordinarily endowed for
the work to which he had been called. AS preacher, he
Was earnest and impressive. His, discourses were full of
Chrlid, lucid and edifying. His heart was in his work ; and
one of his severest trials was that hi should be laid aside
from the active duties of the ministry, and that his lips
should be sealed. But his labors are not lost.. The Lord had
need of him in another, a Itigher and Imlier,fteld of labor,
and he his taken him from us. We haw in - humble submiS7
sion to the will of Him who" " doeth - all things Well."

DIED—In .linion congregation, Armstrong County, Pa,
November 14th, 1861, Dr. WM. W. WICK, late of Rimers
burg. Clarion County, Pa., aged 29 years.
The character of this interesting young man seems tohave
been one of rare purity and simplicity. Ills years were few,
but they were crowded with work. Let the aimless and
idlers read the following record: In his sixteenth year he
began teaching school ; in his eighteenth, he entered a store
as salesman; in his nineteenth, he received an agency from
the "State Mutual Fire Insurance Company;" and in his
twenty-first, entered College at Meadville. The following
yearhe commenced the study of medicine with his brother;
the neat, he entered the Medical School in Cleveland, and
the year after, the`Cleveland Infirmary, where he was soon
after appointed' Resident Physician. He came to Rimers
burg, Clarion county, in July, 1856, where he remained un
til ins death, engaged in a lucrative practice. Thus was his
work crowded into his years. A few extracts from his pri
vets journal will show what spirit he was of. July 14th,
1836, be writes : "'Just three years ago I first conceived the
idea of studying medicine. Where shall I be three years
hence T I may be in .R, engaged in practice. I may have
failed here, and gone to a distant clime; and long ere that
time I may have gone to that country from whose bourne
no traveller 'return's: For that last change, God grant that /
may be more assiduous in preparing myself, than for any
other I" December 31st, 1830, after mentioning various in
stances of God's goodness to him, he writes: "In view of
these blessings, may I feel humble and thankful to God,
from wham cometh every good and perfect gilt.. And now,
at the close of this year, let me make this resolve: 'Let oth
ers do as they will; as for me, I will serve the-Lord: Shalt
this resolve be kept 2 God grant that it may," &c. Again :
"May the blessing of God crown my efforts to relieve the
sick and afflicted I Without thy aid we can do nothing."
December, 1858, he writes:' "I find that my good resolves
made December 3180896, have been but imperfectly kept.
Indeed on that subject my mind is not so sensitive us then;
perhaps it may be different ere long ; I hope thatit may."
Again, he writes: " The peat has been prosperous ; the fu
ture is clouded in darkness. May my footsteps be directed
by Him who death all things well,' and may. Ibe inclined
to do his commands."
July, 1859:." When I read in my'Journal the good re
solves made, but never carried out, I am .constrainedvo - say;
•The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately
wicked; - whO can - know it?' " " Well," he says, "a great
many strange events have happened in the past three years,
a great many will happen in the next three. What shall
they be? No human'eye seas---it . is well none does!"
The own death was one of theme oventir. December 31st,
.1859: "Time I 0 how quickly dost thou pass I And what
shall I say of myself? God has most mercifully dealt with
me the past year. May I see hi goodness, and forsake my
sins and cleave unto him through the atoning Bac - A - Ace of
Calvaryi The hour of midnight has come I May a Donut!.
MI, kind Providenee watch over my footsteps this year, as in
years, past, and may he incline my heart to his ways," &c.
February 20th, 1800, he writes: "There is a protracted
meeting in the Presbyterian church.' Last night I felt thatl
was living in sad neglect of my duty, in standing back, and
not uniting with the church.. * * To-night I stepped and
conversed With the members of Session. * And nowthat
I have taken a step forwaid, Oh i Godgrant that I may be
enabled to a press toward the mark for the prize of the high
calling of God in Christ Jesus."
:Friday, June let, 1860, he was admitted to C-011179111011 by
the Session of Bethesda church. June 2d, he was baptized;
Jane 3d, partook of the Lord's Supper; and November 14th,
1861, fell asleep in Jesus. ' '
Thus ended the busy life of this interestliq young man.
May his example bring many Others of his profession to the
feet of Situ who said : They that are whole need not it phy.
slcum, but they that are sick." . IL
DIED—At her own residence. near. Antrim, Ohio,Mrs.
MA.ItTIIA. J., wife of Mr. Samuel H. M'Cotev, in the 32d
.
year of her age. .
The deceased held a high place in the affections of all with
whom she associated. Early in life ehe united herielf with
the Amociate Reformed Presbyterian ,church of Antrim,
Ohio, in which she
,was an ornament, and an example to all
her associates. After her marriage to Mr. M'Coley, sin con
nected herself with the Old school Presbyterian church of
Birmingham, in which church she And an exemplary mem
ber until her death. The deceased exhibited a character
remarkable for simplicity of , purpoee and singleness of aim,
showing at the same time great reverence for sacred things.
And nothing stood higher iii her esteem than the ordinance
of Divine appointment; as long as her strength permitted
she was found in her pleat in the sanctuary,' and to hold
communion with God's people was esteemed one of her chief
delight& But perhaps in nothing did the evidence of her
deep piety shine. more clearly than in her devotional spirit,
and the estimate she placed upon prayer and spiritual com
munion. During those seasons of gloom that frequently
.crosses the Christian's pathway, she found "a calm, a sure
retreat beneath the blood-bought mercy seat." There she
obtained her most signal victory over the adversary.
Peacefully and 'gently she fell asleep in Jesus, having re
signed herself into the- hands of Him in whom she believed,
and whom she was persaaded was able to keep that which
she had committed unto hirougainet that day.
May.the.serviring relatives, and all the dear ones left grace'

where sorrow and sighing can never come. A. Is K.

on all the leading of the day, both Seligiomi and Sec

consideration, and that are worthy the attention of intelli
gent ann Christian people, are discussed from the Olstilstian
stand-point, and in the comprehensive spirit of Christian
charity and enlarged benevolence.
From the beginning of our present National troubles, 'hilt
paper, while allying Miff with no political party, has taken
high and fearless ground in favor of the Constitution and the
regularly ordained Government, and of the preservation of
the integrity of the Union. Its utterances have been firm
and decided, and they will continue to be such until the
spirit of rebellion has been entirely quenched, add our 'Gov
ernment once more firmly established.
