FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT AT NASH
INGTON.

Thursday, aprit 2.
Yesterday the committee on naval all
fairs made long report on the resolu-
tons which some time ago were referred
to its consideration. at the instance OIL
Mr.. Johnson Of Virginia, respecting. the
court. martial on captain Perry and cap
tain Heath. The opinion Of the commit
tee vas, that the deficiency complained
of BY those resolutions were altogether
in the administration OF the law, anu not
in the law itself. Mr. Johnson insisted
that if the officers to whom the execution
of the law was coufded had been det
Gent in the performance OF their duty
the matter ought to be brought before the
house, add followed rp his observation
with a resolution instructing the same
committee 10 report bill to deprive q
his commission any officer who should
strike his inferior officer After some
remsrks by Mr.. Peasants, the report and
Mr.. JohnsaD's resolution were ordered
to lie on the table.
The bill fixing the first Monday in
November next for the next meeting OF
congress was passed, after several at
tempts to defeat it. by 81. to az
A resolution bestowiBg upon colonel
Richard NJ. Johnson q sword fer his sig
nally gallant conduct in the battle on the
Thames. in Upper Canada, on the 5th Of
October, 1918, was read twice, and pass
ed unanimously. And certainly never
was resolution passed by congress that
will carry with it the more unanimous
assem- of the American people. This
resolution led to the introduction into
discussion of two names, possessing
strong claims on public gratitude aud the
notice of congress-one, major gene a.
Carroll. # Tennessee, to whom the union
is indebted for the organization of tn
force which repaired from that state to
New.Orleans, and helped to save that
city the other, general Coffee, whose
name is tno celebrated to require our
particularizrns him in this pace. They
will be made the subjects OF other reso-
lutions-perkaps this morning.

Mr.. SNowpEN,

Mr.. SNowpEN,
Ibelieve. 1t my duty ain t" notice IN
a few. words rs remark on NV former
communication, respecting the unive' sal
and impartial gift OF God to his creature
man: though at the same time have not
the iea.t desire to cause. him t digress
from his path, ar disturb his meditations.
Ny object 8 to bring the subject more
fully before the view Of your readers
that they nav mediate with US on this
alI-important truth. "that the gift Of Col,
which br,ngeth salvation, hat appeared
unto all uaen. teaching Of them," &C.
thar those who are called heathens. a.
we'll as those who are called christ g.
are men.-consequently participate IN tins
divine manifestation. z. appears to be
of opinion that he has oil proof on the
subject. / am still of different opinion,
believing the quotation made in nay other
communication stands on that immovea.
bic foundation, having the word, the UNI
versal love, the justice aud mercy Of G"d
to its support.
Ibelieve With him that the rational ia.
Guilty VI man is all.>uticient to enable
him to chorse or refuse, observe and con-
template and in the works Of creation
behold more than wonderful plan and
execution-that is, he may see the works
of this outward world, but not the work.
err: therefore, I am far from undervslu
ing that gift Of the creator to his creature
for it is my opinion, it through this gilt
man would seek for the glver, he would
find manifestation Of him in himsslf;-
he would End spark or ray of that light
which would lead him to that fountain Of
light which enlightens every man that
cometh into the word--and which would
if followed draw all unto itself.
This is what had in view, and at this
time the only motive have. in writing is,
to invite Q search to be made in every
mind for this heavenly guide; for it is
the only conductor and safe conveyert to
that haven of rest 1t is my opinion,
our christian procession will be OF no a
vail, except we are in Professionalism, as
saith the apostle, except We are OF the
spirit Of Chri-t, ye are none of his" AS
we believe that Christ was actuated bs
the spirit Of the Father, so surely mus
we be actuated BY the same; and If we
are actuated by the spirit of Christ, then
are we Christians indeed, let us be OF
whatever nation, kindred, tongue or PEG.
pie. believe this is no novel hypothesis
neither is there heresy nor poison in
this view Of the subject it is surely as
old as the time Of Paul. who preached il
to the ,thenians--or as Peter, who wit.
messed the same on Cornelius and his
friends: but l believe it is too much kept
out Of view by the cares Of the world, the

INDIAN HosTILITIKs.
From our correspondent at st. Mary's,
dated 18th March.
TIE Indians are at present very trou-
Dlesonre on the frontiers of Wayne and
this county An unfortunate man, by
the name of Johns, was on Friday last
butchered by party Of them, supposed
to consist of hundred, about l6 miles
from Camden, of Jefferson court house.
Such is the state of alarm in this coun-
ty, on account Of these savage invaders,
who in their warfare spare neither woman
nor helpless infant, that people are con
stantly moving from the frontiers into
the centre of the county; and unless the
depredations Of the savages are soon put
a stop to, more than one half OF Camden
county will be deserted.
The militia is TO be generally ordered
out but their number in this vicinity is
tor small to effect any thing Of import
ance though they are good men, and
proved Themselves ST. during the late wa
with England Our only prosPec, of per
