RuMORS.

1t is rumored over this city, though we have no
official authority for the statement and will not vouch
for the truth oft, that the Senate Of the u States
has been engaged in closed doors for three days past
on a message from the President Of the United
States, consulting them about the propriety of ac-
ceptng terms proposed by Mr.. Pakenham for the
adjustment of the Oregon question. There are diff.
ferent rumors about the precise character of the
proposition. 1t is said in the streets Of Washing
ton this evening, Immediately after the Senate ad-
ourned at o'clock that they advised the President
to accept the proposition by vote Of 80 to IL We
cannot consent to keep these important rumors from
our readers, although we have no official evidence
for them, and have had no sort Of communication
upon this event with any member either Of the Sen
ate or Of the administration.
We understand that the Senate adjourned over til
Monday.

CORRECTION.

Ia the absence of the regular proof-reader of the
Union" who has not been at his post for several
days past an of the press occurred in the note
of General Scott, as published in our daily paper OF
last evening. The mistake was discovered in time
to be rectifed in our country edition, several hun
dred copies of that edition being Immediately cancel
led on the Disc ;ery Of the blunder made by our
prool-reader, after we had examined the revise Of
the note and found it correct. His error consisted
in converting the word diminished" into 'undimin-
ished" We now print the note correctly in our
daily sheet, of our own accord, without any com
,nunication from or with the author. We ask the
favor of those journals in which it may be pubish-
ed, to repubIish it in its present shape The annoy
ance which an error of this description has given us
may be readily imagined. We shall take steps to
sreyent the recurrence Of these errata:
"OrFIcE, June IL, 1886
.S,R: After a private and political friendship with
YOU oftwenty-odd years, followed by the diminish
ed relations of personal courtesy and kindness for
an equal per od Il could not but feel great pain in
addressing my note to you of yesterday Your
PARTNER in the Union and the public printing is to
me an entire sranger)
..The explanations and corrections given in the
Union of last night have satisfied me, that the omls-
sons and errors of the press, anmadverted upon IN
my note of yesterday, were however strange, pure
" accidental. /, therefore, am happy, voluntarily
to retract any imputalion my note may have cast
upon the principal conductors of the Union in re-
ypect to those matters.
"As to your editorials against me, however partial
and unjust, | have not intended to complain; but
shall bear them with what fortitude may.

COLONEL: | have the honor to enclose herewith,
for the information Of the commanding general, the
reports Of Capt Lewis Morris of the 81, and brevet
Major Allen, Of the 4th infantry, giving detailed
account of the services performed by the regiments
under their respective commands in the actions
which took place on the 9Th and 9Th instant
! have only this moment received these reports,
and as | am under orders to march Immediately
with my brigade, have not a moment to add any
thing to them, If were disposed to do so. Both of
these regimental commanders used every effort to
meet the enemy and to overcome him 1t was
pleasing to me to witness the gallant rivalry between
these two corps They shared literally in the dan
gers and exertions which brought about our signal
success. | witnessed with great satisfaction, in
dense chappara, Captain Morrison, of the 4th, over
coming obstacles which believed insurmountable,
in order to reach the enemy.
OF Captain Mccall, 4th infantry, whose merits
are fully appreciated by the commanding general, !
can make no remark, as he was detached with q
separate command, under the special instructions Of
the general himself
IL gives me great pleasure to speak in terms OF
high appreciation Of the efficient services of my prn-
cpal staff officers Lieutenrnt Besmsn, Of the 9TH

The crowded state Of our columns for some days
past has prevented US from announcing the arrival
of Mr. PrIsbury, the representative from the west
ern district of Texas whe reached Washington on
the evening of the 9th inst. and was on Wednesday
admitted to his seat. Mr. Pilsbury is a native Of
Maine, from whence he emigrated to Texas nine
years ago Previous to leaving the place Of his ma
uvity, he occupied a prominent and enviable posi-
ton in the ranks Of the democratic party of the
State. He served four years as a member OF the
Legislature and governors council. In 1886 he was
the regular democratic candidate for Congress from
the district composed of the counties of Washington
and Hancock; and, after three trials, finally de-
feated by the wing nominee, through split in the
democratic party.
The reunion of Mr. Pilsbury with the members
of the Maine delegation, with many Of whom he
formerly served in public life, is, indeed, source
of sincere pleasure to them.
1t is no small credit to him, nor is it little re.
n,rkable. that he he has thus been honored with
the confidence Of the democracy Of the extreme
eastern and the extreme western congressional dis
tricts Of the United States

to report that, in the action Of Pao Alto the 9Th
instant, the 9Th infantry placed on the extreme
right of our line After sustaining the cannonade Of
the enemy for about three quarters of an hour, the
regiment was ordered to turn the left flank Of the
enemy, and detached for that purpose advanc-
ing nearly half mile to the right and front; the
airy Of the Mexicans with two pieces Of artillery,
view, extending themselves apparently for the pur-
pose Of outhanking On the near approach of the
enemy's cavalry the regiment was thrown into
square, with Captain Walker, Of the Texas Rangers
and twenty mounted men on our right. The enemy
commenced an irregular fire upon our square as
they advanced wounding three four Of our men,
and continued to do so, until within about fifty yards,
when our FIRE was delivered from one front Of the
square, killing several men and horses and causing
the enemy to retire. Our fire was followed by the
rifles Of the mounted men, At this moment Lieu
tenant Rdgely, with two pieces Of his battery, came
TO our support and poured in a destructive fire OF
grape and canister on the enemy, now in full re-
treat towards his right The regiment remained on
this ground for about half an hour, when we were
ordered up to take position on the right Of the new
Inc, which had been formed by throwing forward
our right, the enemy having changed his front near
perpendicular to his first line. Here we received
4 severe FIRE from the enemy's batteries wounding
