els, has reached us. The statement that six of the Zouaves were killed proves to have been erroneous. They numbered thirty men, under command of Capt. Hammell, and encountered the rebels, infantry and cavalry, some distance from Newport News. Shots were exchanged, and three of the enemy--two officers and one private-- were killed, when Capt. Hammell deemed it prudent to retire, which he did without loss. Strong batteries are now being erected in the direction of New Market Bridge.

In the midst of Lincoln's armed legions, and in the teeth of a subservient Congress, he hurls his denunciations with an unsparing hand at the executive usurper and his murderous party. How the so-called "Conservatives" of the North, who could speak boldly enough for us in the days of peace, and deserted us to a man in the hour of trial, must blush for their baseness when they look upon the spectacle of moral grandeur which Vallandigham's course in Congress presents! What a contrast to that mincing piece of affectation and pretension, that man of words, Edward Everett! Of all the great, heroic men of this continent,n and pretension, that man of words, Edward Everett! Of all the great, heroic men of this continent, Vallandigham will go down to posterity unsurpassed, if equalled, by any other, a man worthy the greatest, most heroic day of Grecian or Roman fame.
Where is the responsibility. In his late admirable speech in the House of Representatives, Mr. Vallandigham reminds the President that, in his summary of the causes which have led to the present Revolution, he omits to tell the country that Secession and Disunion had a New England origin, and began in Massachusetts in 1804, at the time of the Louisiana purchase; were revived by the Hartford Convention in 1814, and culminated, during the war with Great Britain, in sending Commissioners to Wty years ago in the vehement, persistent, offensive, most irritating and unprovoked agitation of the slavery question in the North and West, from the time of the Missouri controversy, with some short intervals, down to the present hour. Mr. Vallandigham thus proceeds: But, sir, the President ignores totally the violent and long-continued denunciation of slavery and slaveholders, and especially since 1835--I appeal to Jackson's message for the date and proof — until at last a political
yland, but it is always aiming to break its chains, and it always succeeds sooner or later, for its oppressors "struggle against the truth of things and the need of the times." The representative of a party professing to be devoted to the freedom of the human body has signalised himself beyond all men in America by enforcing shackles on the human mind. Scarcely a newspaper or a press in his dominions, nor a Congressman in the chamber which registers his edicts, except the bold and honest Vallandigham, has dared even to utter a lament over the grave of Liberty. But the greatest Power, and Glory, even if Lincoln could achieve them, instead of defeat and disgrace, cannot make Liberty, though in her grave, forgotten. Even Napoleon III. long ago comprehended that plots and dangers are not best avoided by restrictions upon freedom of the press and of speech. He has removed the fetters which were once placed on the French Press and Chambers, and the United States President has picked
The committee on the case of Henry May, of Baltimore, reported that there was no evidence against him, and May rose to a personal explanation. The House indulged him, but he proceeded to attack the Government. There was deep excitement, and he was compelled to proceed by order, by a vote of the House. Ex-Gov. Thomas, of Maryland, replied most eloquently to his attack, defending the Government. There was great excitement throughout the debate, which lasted three hours. May, Burnett and Vallandigham consulted throughout the debate. Ancona, of Pennsylvania, to-day, joined the ranks of Northern traitors, and tried very unbecomingly to prevent Gov. Thomas, of Md., from replying to May. A bitter feeling against him exists among the Pennsylvania members. The city was intensely excited yesterday and to-day over the war news from Virginia. The wildest reports were flying to-day. The Senate indulged in an exciting debate on the war and slavery. Jim Lane, Powell, Carlile and
