Doc. 132.--letter from Commodore Stewart. Bordentown, May 4, 1861. My dear Sir: Agreeably to your request I now furnish you with the reminiscences of a conversation which passed between Mr. John C. Calhoun and myself in the latter part of December, 1812, after the declaration of war by the Congress of the United States against Great Britain on the 18th of June previous. On the assembling of Congress, in the early part of December, I found that an important portion of the leading democratic members of Congress had taken up their quarters at Mrs. Bushby's boarding-house, among whom was Mr. Calhoun, a new member from South Carolina--and I believe this was his first appearance in the House of Representatives. In consequence of this I took Lieutenant Ridgley, my confidential officer, and the first lieutenant of the frigate Constitution, of which vessel I then held the command, and was preparing for sea at the Washington Navy Yard, left our lodgings at Strother's, and obtaine

e. We have prejudices to overcome from the few short months since of a fierce party contest. Yet these must be allayed. Let us lay aside all criminations and recriminations as to the origin of these difficulties. When we shall have again a country with the United States flag floating over it, and respected on every inch of American. soil, it will then be time enough to ask who and what brought all this upon us. I have said more than I intended to say. (Cries of Go on. ) It is a sad task to discuss questions so fearful as civil war; but sad as it is, bloody and disastrous as I expect it will be, I express it as my conviction before God, that it is the duty of every American citizen to rally round the flag of his country. I thank you again for this magnificent demonstration. By it you show you have laid aside party strife. Illinois has a proud position — United, firm, determined never to permit the Government to be destroyed. (Prolonged cheering.)--N. Y. Tribune, June 18

dness to the citizens of the United States, so fast as it becomes due, into the Treasury of the Territory, where it will remain on deposit till the close of hostilities. These deposits will be charged ten per cent. per annum, and the faith, credit, and public property of the whole Territory are pledged for their security. As we have thus far maintained a neutral position with regard to the difficulties now pending, I would counsel a moderate course. Let our action be on the defensive only; and for the better defence of the Territory, I would advise the arming of the Arrapahoes and other tribes of friendly Indians. In the mean time I earnestly invoke the cooperation of all good citizens in the measures hereby adopted for the successful retention of valuables in this Territory, and to secure happiness and prosperity throughout our country. Done at Denver, this 21st day of May, A. D. 1861. L. W. Bliss, Acting Governor, Jefferson Territory. --National Intelligencer, June 18.

sirous of observing the strictest neutrality in the contest which appears to be imminent between the United States and the so-styled Confederate States of North America; and with the view more effectually to carry out this principle, they propose to interdict the armed vessels, and also the privateers of both parties, from carrying prizes made by them into ports, harbors, roadsteads, or waters of the United Kingdom, or any of Her Majesty's colonies or possessions abroad. I have accordingly to acquaint your lordships that the Queen has been pleased to direct that orders, in conformity to the principle above stated, should forthwith be addressed to all proper authorities in the United Kingdom, and to Her Majesty's naval and other authorities in all quarters beyond the United Kingdom, for their guidance in the circumstances. I have, &c., J. Russell. Similar letters have been addressed to the Secretaries of State for India, War, and the Colonies.--Baltimore American, June 18.

ated. All rules of civilized warfare are abandoned, and they proclaim by their acts, if not on their banners, that their war-cry is Beauty and Booty. All that is dear to man — your honor and that of your wives and daughters — your fortunes and your lives, are involved in this momentous contest. We cannot avoid contrasting with the above the offer of General Butler to put down servile insurrections in his first landing at Annapolis, and the subsequent address of General Patterson to the Pennsylvania troops, that it might be their duty to suppress servile insurrections. Can the people of Virginia be imposed upon by such productions as this of General Beauregard's? Can any intelligent community in the South be thus cheated into madness? Surely if they can be, they are to be pitied, and we have only to say that so poor a compliment paid by any high functionary to the intelligence of the people of Maryland, would receive their scorn and reprobation.--Baltimore American, June 18

t, Albert Heubel; Second Lieutenant, Lewis F. Resay. Company I--Capt., John M. Lang; First Lieutenant, Walter F. Evans; Second Lieutenant, John H. Steiner. Company K--Capt., Duplat Hagemeister; First Lieutenant, Henry Memminger; Second Lieutenant, Peter A. McKoon. The men are armed with percussion-cap smoothedbore muskets, and their uniforms are of dark blue cloth. The band numbers about twenty-six instruments, and as they marched along performed admirably. Upon their arrival at the depot and at the request of several gentlemen, they played the Star-Spangled Banner, Washington's March, Hail Columbia, and Yankee Doodle, and were greatly cheered. This regiment carry with them a magnificent horse, said to be one of the best-blooded animals in the country, and which will be presented to Lieutenant-General Winfield Scott as a testimonial of the regard of his friends. The animal attracted considerable attention, and was purchased for the sum of $2,300.--Baltimore American, June 18.

Doc. 263.-Fourteenth Regiment, N. Y. S. V., arrived at New York, June 18. The regiment landed at the foot of West Fourteenth street. The Oneidas of the Metropolis, to the number of two hundred or upwards, decorated with an appropriate badge, and under the direction of William W. Backus, the marshal of the occasion, assisted by John A. Bryan, Morris S. Brown, James M. Tower, A. D. Barber, Robert J. Hubbard, J. O. Candee, and Albert T. Battel, assistant-marshals, formed a line and received the volunteers with the usual honors; and, preceded by a city band of music, escorted them through Fourteenth street and Fifth Avenue to Washington Parade Ground, where the flag presentation took place. A large concourse of ladies and gentlemen, many of them natives of Oneida County, witnessed the ceremony. The welcoming speech was made by Charles P. Kirkland. He said:-- Col. McQuade and the Officers and Men of the Fourteenth Regiment: In the name and on behalf of the Sons of Oneida, re
