Doc. 22.-Hudson River Baptist Association, report and resolutions, June 19.
The Committee appointed to consider the duties that pertain to our relation, as Christian citizens and Churches, to the nation at large and the Government that protects us, beg leave to report the following statement, preamble, and resolutions:
The letters from the churches that compose this Association have expressed in the most solemn manner their sense of painful bereavement caused by the departure of their brethren, fellow-worshippers and Sabbath-school teachers from their various fields of labor to the camp and the battle-field for the defence of our country against an armed rebellion that seeks the utter destruction of the Constitution that shelters us, and is aiming fatal blows at the foundations of all effective Government, of all righteous law, of all social order, and of national prosperity.
At the same time these letters declare, without any exception, the fixed determination of our brethre

24.-letter of Cornelius Vanderbilt.
New York, May 14, 1861.
Dear sir:--Being informed that you are about making a visit to Washington, I take the liberty of asking the favor of you to lay before the Government the enclosed proposition, which I addressed to the Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy, under date of the 20th ultimo.
To this proposition I have received no reply, and I attribute this to the multiplicity of business which has engrossed the attention of the department.
You are authorized to renew this proposition, with such additions thereto as are hereinafter set forth.
I feel a great desire that this Government should have the steamer Vanderbilt, as she is acknowledged to be as fine a ship as floats the ocean, and, in consequence of her great speed and capacity, that, with a proper armament, she would be of more efficient service in keeping our coast clear of piratical vessels than any other ship.
Therefore, you are authorized to say, in my behalf, t

25.-Inaugural of Gov. Pierpont.
On June 20, Mr. Pierpont was inaugurated Governor of Virginia by the Convention in session at Wheeling.
He made the following address:--
gentlemen of the Convention: I return to you my sincere thanks for this mark of your confidence, in placing me in the most critical and trying position in which any man could be placed at the present time.
This day and this event mark a period in the history of constitutional liberty.
They mark a period in American history.
For more than three-quarters of a century our Government has proceeded, in all the States and in all the Territories upon which our fathers erected it — namely, upon the intelligence of the people; and that in the people resides all power, and that from them all power must emanate.
A new doctrine has been introduced by those who are at the head of the revolution in our Southern States--that the people are not the source of all power.
Those promulgating this doctrine have trie

28.-East-Tennessee Union Convention.
The Convention assembled at Greenville, Tennessee.
It was presided over by the Hon. T. A. R. Nelson, and was addressed with great effect by Senator Johnson.
The resolutions adopted, which were preceded by an admirably-written preamble, are as follows:
1. That the evils which now afflict our beloved country, in our opinion, are the legitimate offspring of the ruinous and heretical doctrine of secession; that the people of East Tennessee have ever been and we believe still are opposed to it by a very large majority.
2. That while the country is now upon the very threshold of a most ruinous and desolating civil war, it may with truth be said, and we protest before God, that the people (so far as we can see) have done nothing to produce it.
3. That the people of Tennessee, when the question was submitted to them in February last, decided, by an overwhelming majority, that the relations of the State toward the Federal Governmen

30.-the position of Kentucky.
General Buckner to Governor Magoffin.
Headquarters Ky. State Guards, Louisville, June 10, 1861.
sir:--On the 8th instant, at Cincinnati, Ohio, I entered into an arrangement with Major-General G. B. McClellan, commander of the United States troops in the State north of the Ohio River, to the following effect:
The authorities of the State of Kentucky are to protect the United States property within the limits of the State, to enforce the laws of the United States, in accordance with the interpretations of the United States courts, as far as those laws may be applicable to Kentucky, and to enforce, with all the power of the State, our obligations of neutrality as against the Southern States, as long as the position we have assumed shall be respected by the United States.
Gen. McClellan stipulates that the territory of Kentucky shall be respected on the part of the United States, even though the Southern States should occupy it; but

Colonel Townsend's report.
Headquarters, camp Hamilton, June 12, 1861. To Major R. A. Pierce, Brigade-Inspector, &c.:
sir :--I have the honor to report for the information of Brigadier-General Pierce, that on Sunday evening, June 9th, I received orders from him to have my command in readiness, with one day's rations, to move that night to form a part of a column, composed of two regiments from Newport News, and Col. Duryea's and my own, intended to make a reconnoissance in force towards Yorktown.
In obedience to these orders, with the concerted sign of a white badge upon our left arm, (at midnight,) I marched my regiment to Hampton, where the General met the command and accompanied it.
On approaching a defile through a thick wood, about five or six miles from Hampton, a heavy and well-sustained fire of cannister and small arms was opened upon the regiment while it was marching in a narrow road, upon the flank in route step, and

The following is the first response from Washington Territory to the President's proclamation for troops:--
Whereas, the President of the United States has issued his proclamation, stating that the laws of the United States have been and now are opposed in several States by combinations too powerful to be suppressed in the ordinary way, and therefore calling for the militia of the several States, now, therefore, deeming it expedient that the militia of the Territory of washington should be placed in readiness to meet any requisition from the President of the United States, or the Governor of this Territory, to aid in maintaining the laws and integrity of the national Union, I do hereby call upon all the citizens of this Territory capable of bearing arms, and liable to militia duty, to report immediately to the Adjutant-General of the Territory, and proceed at once to organize themselves into companies, and elect their own officers,
