The Washington correspondent of the Charleston Mer
curry complains about Mr. Holiness speech not being re-
ported in the Union. The Savannah Republican" re-
peats the complaint and "regards the course OF hr
Richie as iberal and unusual" designed TO kill of
Mr. Holiness" &C., &c
We are as much responsible for the last hurricane as
we are upon this charge We knew nothing OF the charge
itself, until we saw il in the Savannah Republican
that reached us by last evenings mail We certainly
have not felt the slightest disposition to do the slightest
Injustice to Mr.. Holmes.

The Courier des Etas Unis advises the United States
to offer the olive branch third time, and if necessary,
fourth" Such is not view of the Mexican character
such is not the course which Santa Annals letter Gen
Taylor would teach to pursue The Courier advises
to this concatory pacific, and unwse policy at the very
moment when declares that, according to the nforna-
ton we have received, the Mexican Congress- which
must now have before the overures OF the United States
government ,oW meet them nth unanimous refusal.
There was in Mexico no doubt OF this result and it is
well to dismiss all deuson here in regard to it. But it
does not follow that the Mexican people resolved on
war at all hazards and in any case and will bndy
ect every proposition having peace for its object The
idea of suing such people for peace ridiculous The
only course we have to pursue, in the Mexican
Congress should adopt this insane policy is to put forth
all our strength, and compel them to make peace.

We requested by Mr. JONES' of Georgia. to state that
the following is correct version of portion of his yes
terdays speech
The gentleman from Tennessee mir. Gentryl has
said that the President brought the war with Mexico
and had carried on that he might answer to the
heard that question asked since his first message. With
that document his friends were entirely satisfied and his
opponents had found no fault. Even the inscriptions
and irresponsible letter writers could not find flaw in
It. 1t had been said by some, that he did not write it.
Even II that were So it can be no ground of censure.
Even the Father OF his country" directed others write
his messages. But it is not true II his own hand did
not actually trace the characters, his mind dictated every
word and syllable in it. To the ssage of this session
no objection has been made but TO the paragraph have
alluded to-" '.#
cry of his speech, and authorized by him to say
that he entertains doubt and intended to express
none, about the authorship of the two messages. He
satisfied that person but the President had any hand
the composition of those messages For our own part we
are convinced by circumstances that have happened to fall
within our own knowledge, that to Mr.. Polk belongs
the honor of preparing them with his own hand We
say unhesitangy the honor" because they are two of
the abIes documents which have emanaed from the
ecutive department.
The fact is, the Opposition began with idly asking
who is James X Polk' and is difficult for them to
appreciate the character OF the man whom they have
falsely decried .....
The debate kept up to-day with great spirit in the
House. We had not the pleasure of hearing Mr. Morse,
OF Louisiana but understand he spoke with remarkable
orce He defended the of the administration and
the message of the President with great success.
Mr. Martin, OF Tennessee, followed in reply to Mr.
GENTRY We had the pleasure of hearing his speech Ii
was able in its argument, conclusive in its positions,
and keen in its satire He showed up the inconsistency OF
his colleague in the clearest manner He applied with
great power and the happest effect the anecdoe of the
man who had orthodox leg and heretcal leg, and
stated that during the last session, Mr. Gentry united
the declaration that Mexico had begun the war; whilst
ne was now displaying the heretical Mexican leg in
assigning the origin of this to the administration
tic indicated the President against the violent charges
OF his colleague, and turned the tables completely up
on him.

The Pittsburg American OF the 10th inst in announ
cling the arrival at that place of four companies Of volun

at melancholy fact that arrangements of any kline

the responsibility incurred for their ransportationE
depend upon their and the contributions

Truly, these brave fellows have promising time of i
from this foretaste OF attention from the powers at ash

is made to appear by these remarks that the author
tiles at Washington have not taken the necessary
provide transportation and subsistence for the
troops required to rendezvous in Ptsburg.
The following extract OF letter from the acting quar-
termaster in Pttsbug to the quartermaste general daet
the 18th instant only day previous to the above
marks, will show how far these remarks to be relied
correct:
THE equipage for Pennsylvania volunteers is hand

will be ready with the transportation Immediately when
ever the regiment is organized and will push all in
power the time has arrived when they should be

II may be proper to remark that the law does not pro
vide for the transportation OF volunteers prior to hei
muster into service and in respect to subsistence the
OF the 18th June, 1916, provides that the noncommsson
ed officers, musicians and prvaes of volunteers and mi

shall be entitled to receive fifty cents in lieu of subsst
ence and twenty five cents in lieu of forage for such
