Some reports put Hamilton (Texas) in place of Flanagan (Texas), and Pratt (Ind.) in place of J. Hill (Ga.); but Pratt's eulogy on Sumner, April 27, 1874, makes it improbable that he favored Sumner's removal. Those reported as speaking in the caucus for the removal were Nye.

f Howard, commonly called the Dred Scott Case, asked that the voice of the chief justice rolling in silvery cadence from the Atlantic to the pacific, from the frozen region of the lakes to the glittering waters of the gulf, should still the tumult of the masses and command obedience. It is said Stevenson who worked in collaboration with his step son in the composition of some of his most perfect pieces of romance, would say to him when he had reached the very roof of the world of thought, Osborn, this is magnificent, impossible, it can't be sustained. In the Dred Scott Case the Court says that a negro of the African race was regarded by the Colonies as an article of property and held and bought and sold as such in every one of the Thirteen Colonies which united in the declaration of independence and afterwards formed the constitution of the United States. The struggle is passed. The events of it which were the most tumultuous and energetic in their accomplishment are feint, the

Mr. Hour, of the Presbyterian Church. the National difficulties. Mr. Osborn, of Jefferson, offered the following preamble and resolution: Whereas, the Government of the United States having been created and established for the purpose of forming a more perfect Union than existed under the articles of Confederation) and adopted by all of the original States, with ample provisions for amendments to the same; but without any for its disintegration: Therefore, Resolved. That a resort to State secession, or a resumption of the original rights of the States, by an ordinance of secession, is not only unauthorized by the letter and spirit of the Constitution, but is contrary to, and subversive of, the fundamental principles upon which it was founded; wholly at variance with the legitimate objects of its creation: and can onl

portion of my time in the "City of Oaks," and an interesting time we have had of it. The Convention, as you are aware, has now been in session just one month, and have agreed to adjourn on next Wednesday. A larger amount of business, considering its momentous character, has never before been transacted in the same space of time by any deliberative body.--A Convention composed of such men as Ruffin and Badger, Graham and Biggs, Brown and Satterthwaite, Reid and Gilmer, and Ashe and Gerrell, Osborn and Dick, Craig and Kittrell, Melane and Howard, Houston and Jones, Mares and Venable, and the President of the body, with scores of others but little less intellectual, could not be expected to permit any question of magnitude to be disposed of until it had been thoroughly discussed; and this has been done with an ability that I have never known excelled. This will account, and more than compensate, for any apparent delay in the dispatch of business. Hasty legislation, even in ordinary ti

The newspapers were freely discussing the subject, and the London Times exhibits somewhat of a panic on it, urging that not a day should be lost, as wooden ships are clearly demonstrated to be wholly useless against iron, plated rams. Other journals and letter writers in abundance are also in favor of floating batteries. The question of iron batteries continues to attract great attention. Lord Bentinck had given notice in the House of Commons that he would move an amendment to Mr. Osborn's resolution, declaring it inexpedient to proceed with fortifications, to the effect that Government be empowered to apply the money voted for fortifications to the construction of iron-sheathed vessels. A motion in the House of Commons favorable to the reduction of fire duties was carried by a majority of eleven against the Government.

ickets were also driven in by the enemy, when their advance was checked by the gallant brigade of Brig-Gen. St. John Liddell, of Major-General Cleburn's division, which soon became hotly engaged, Capt. Scott's battery of artillery keeping up a destructive fire. The enemy attempted to flank us on the right, with a view of gaining our rear, which forced Gen. Liddell to fall back two miles. Our loss was three killed, including Capt. Frisk, of the 5th Arkansas, and sixteen wounded, including Capt. Osborn, of the 13th and 15th Arkansas. Capt. Helm, of the same regiment, was reported missing. It is believed that Rosecrans is determined to bring on a general engagement, anticipating a reverse at Vicksburg, in order to prevent his being forced to fall back to Nashville. A special dispatch to the Appeal, dated Chattanooga, the 26th, says: Four hundred wounded arrived this evening from the front. In the fight on Thursday the enemy were driven back fine, and Liberty Gap and Guys
