hearing at this moment, ought not to be lost sight of. On two separate occasions since the foundation of the Union, before the moment just mentioned, the right of secession was asserted, and, in both instances, by those very Northern States that are now the most ferocious adversaries of the South. In the first years of the republic, in 1794, during the administration of Washington, an excise duty, laid by Congress upon distilled liquors, occasioned an insurrection in the Western part of Pennsylvania. Delegates from different counties met at Pittsburg, and from that point offered to Congress the alternative of abolishing the tax, or seeing those they represented secede and unite themselves to Canada. In 1814, at the most critical period of the war with England, seven States, constituting what is called New England, met in Convention at Hartford, in Connecticut, and on the 14th of December, declared that they would leave the Union if peace were not declared before the first of June,

In the month of June last, Arthur M. Eastman, of Manchester, N. H., purchased of the Ordnance Bureau five

Washington, December 20. --We have had a splendid little affair in front of Washington, this afternoon, which will furnish food for the "Onward to Richmond" party for a few days, until Gen. McClellan is ready for a more formidable movement. The following is the official dispatch from General McCall to General Marcy, recounting the facts: Official report from General M'Call. Drainsville, Dec. 20--4 P. M. General Ord's brigade, with the First regiment of Pennsylvania rifles and Easton's battery of artillery, had a brisk affair with the enemy, consisting of four regiments and a battery of artillery, near this place at 12 M. today.
