51.-the compromise petition at New York, June 28.
To his Excellency Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States:
The undersigned, citizens of New York, beg leave to present to you, most respectfully and earnestly, the following considerations:
While they hold themselves ready to sustain and defend their Government, and you as its legal head, they respectfully suggest that the only remaining honorable position for you to take to prevent the horrors of civil war and preserve the Union, is to adopt the policy of an immediate General Convention of all the States, as suggested in your Inaugural.
This course would secure a peaceful solution of our national difficulties, and if any State refused to join said Convention to amend the Constitution, or adjust a peaceable separation, it would stand unanimously condemned before the civilized world.
Earnestly deprecating civil war among brethren, we implore and beseech you to adopt this course, which you may rest assured

Every part of the police law is to be enforced by you, except that which refers to the authority of the Commissioners and Chief of Police, and every officer and man, with the exception of those pers

54.-the battle at great Bethel.
The attack on Great Bethel, it appears, was planned by the late Major Winthrop.
The correspondent of the Boston Journal writes from Fortress Monroe:
This literal copy of a private memorandum made by Theodore Winthrop early on the day preceding the fight, and from which, with very trifling alteration of form, the official plan was (as I am informed) drawn up, is a sufficient answer to the whole.
I violate no confidence in sending you these
Notes of the plan of attack,
By two detachments, upon Little Bethel and Big Bethel.
A regiment or a battalion to march from Newport News, and a regiment or a battalion to march from Camp Hamilton, Duryea's. Each regiment to be supported by sufficient reserves, under arms, in camp, and with advanced guards out on the road of march.
Duryea to push out two pickets at 10 P. M., one two and a half miles beyond Hampton, on the county road, but not so far as to alarm the enemy.
This is important.

Official report of the action.
United States steamer Pawnee, Potomac River, June 27, 1861.
sir:--About sundown the evening of the 26th instant, while at anchor off Acquia Creek, I received an order from Commander Ward (a copy of which is herewith enclosed) to send him two boats armed and equipped, in command of Lieutenant Chaplin.
This order was immediately complied with in all its details, and the party left the ship in tow of the Resolute at 9 o'clock A. M. To-day, about noon, the Resolute returned, with a request from Captain Ward that I should send her back if I had no more important service for her. I immediately despatched the Reliance to Captain Ward, knowing the danger to which our people would be exposed if he contemplated a landing at Matthias Point, as I feared was his intention, judging from the nature of the order he gave me, to furnish him with such equipments as were necessary to cut down trees on the point and burn th

56.-the Bridge burning.
Letter of Gov. Hicks in reply to Mayor Brown.
To the People of Maryland:
I have heretofore asked a suspension of your judgment in regard to a communication, with accompanying certificates, from the Mayor of Baltimore to the House of Delegates of Maryland, in which is asserted a complicity on my part in the unlawful destruction of the bridges on the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore, and the Northern Central Railroads, on the night of the 19th of April.
A desire to obtain expected information from
the telegraphic despatches recently seized by the Government — but which I have not yet received — added to the pressing nature of my official duties, has prevented me from making this publication at an earlier period.
The Mayor says:
About 12 o'clock P. M., the Hon. E. Louis Lowe and Marshal George P. Kane called at my house, where Gov. Hicks was passing the night, and Marshal Kane informed me that a despatch had been received tha

57.-rebel official account of the battle at New Creek, Virginia.
brigade Headquarters, camp Davis, Romney, Va., June 19, 1861.
Colonel:--I have the honor to report that on yesterday I directed Colonel J. C. Vaughan, of the Third Tennessee regiment, to take two companies from his own and two from the Thirteenth Virginia regiment, and at eight o'clock P. M. to proceed to New Creek depot, eighteen miles west of Cumberland, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, disperse the forces there collected, bring away the two pieces of artillery, and burn the railroad bridge.
These directions, I am happy to assure you, were carried out to the letter, and the march of thirty-eight miles accomplished between eight P. M. and twelve the next day. Some 250 of the federal troops, after a slight stand, retired in disorder, with a loss of a few men. The bridge was then burned, and Colonel Vaughan retired, bringing with him two pieces of artillery and a stand of colors.
To Colonel Vaughan,

58.-power of the President to suspend the habeas corpus writ. by Reverdy Johnson.
Several States of the Union having renounced their allegiance and that of their citizens to the Government of the United States, and asserted their right to do so, and organized a Government of their own, were in arms to maintain the rebellion.
The laws of the United States were forcibly resisted; their officers, either voluntarily or through violence, were abandoning their duty and resigning their commissions, and a determination announced by the rebels to continue the rebellion until its success was achieved, and the usurped Government recognized by that of the United States.
In this treasonable effort it was believed that there were misguided citizens in Maryland and elsewhere, whose States were yet loyal, who participated in the treason, aided it secretly, and designed to involve their States in the rebellion.
In this state of things the President, under his sworn duty to take care that
