ifornia.

Another paper was shown to Gen K, who, on be-
ing asked If that was the same which Col. Fremont

FRIpAy, NOVEMBER 5.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER D.
After the reading of the journal of yesterday the
Judge Advocate presented paper relative to the ev
idence of Col. Fremont, &c.
The Judge Advocate thought it advisable to receive
the paper Of Col. Fremont, which was accordingly
DONE in which he stated that some cannon were lost
at San Pasqua by Gen. Kearny and that they were
retaken by himself Col F.) at Coungua, and that
no report of such achievement had been made by
Gen. Kearney Now, said he, the losing of cannon
is always attended with the deepest regret on the
part Of the loser but the retaking is of those mil
itary achievements which deserves the highest APP
plause. That this conceament showed decidedly
The temper of Gen. Kearny towards him. That his
arrest had been contemplated seven months before
It took place.
After Col. F. had finished his paper the court was
ordered to be cleared at ii IL O'clock p. m.
The Judge Advocate stated, in the reading Of pa
per no evidence is thought by the court to have
bearing upon the question that does not tend to dis
prove some assertion, or affect some witness He
also stated that an imputation Of malice towards Col
Fremont was brought against Gen. Kearney. M
Gen. Kearney stated that there was no question
which the accused could put, but what he (Gen K.)
Judge Advocate: Did you lose cannon at San
Pasqual, which, being retaken by Col Fremont, was
never reported to.you.
Gen Kearny: The dragons under command Of
Capt. Moore had two howitzers the close Of the
action when the Callifornians had been routed and
were retreatng, the officers in charge of the how
tzers ordered them to the 'front.' and before they could
be turned and arranged SO as to be fired upon the re-
treating enemy the two mules before one of them
took fright and ran away, and by that means came
across to us.
In December an expedition organized at San Die
go to march to Los Angles to assist Col Fremont,
and was organized In consequence of this paper
which here present, which WINS n letter to Com.
Stockton, dated
and signed by GEN. KEARNY

General Kearny resumed, as follows: Up to that
time, Com. Stockton was acting as governor of Cal
ifornia. He had at San some two three
ships of the Pacific squadron which he commanded.
The sailors and marines were Shore except enough

ermined upon, on the 29th Of December, the troops
were prepared to march. The troops consisted of
about 500 sailors and marines, about go regulars and
40 or so volunteers.

"yet if there was no other alternative but disunon to
settle this question, he would say, let it come"
Col Gayle would say to his friends, on this subject
what old Rough and Ready said to the Mexicans-
there is no surrender"
The question of slavery extension is then to be fore
ed upon every candidate for the Presidency He will
be required to say yea or nay to the principle of the
Wmot Proviso, and further to announce, distinctly,
whether he will pledge himself in advance to veto any
action of Congress to preserve free new territory al
ready .jree
The editor of the Marion (Alabama) .Ne,cs is on fire.
Commenting on the proceedings of the meeting, he
says:
"The question of slavery is, with us, the question
of questions With our enemies we can hold no par
ley on this subject is business not theirs; and
desire to lntrude their impairment advice and meas
ures upon the South this great question: surpasses
in impudence, rude attempt of selfceaed reform
to regulate the domestic concerns Of any religious
and well-reglated family. 1t is marvellous that the
South has so long patiently submitted to such mon
strous outrage and insult Would cool and cunning
Aboonsts, from any portion Of the non-slaveholdng
States, quietly submit to similar offences? Let any
Southern member of Congress rise in his place, and
propose that any Territories north of the Missouri
compromise line, which may hereafter apply for ad-
mission into the Union shall contain in their consttu-
lion provision in favor of slavery. How would this
proposition be received by the members representing
those States? Doubtless, with scorn and contempt.
And yet fanatica fools and political knaves are per
mted, almost daily, to make, and gravely discuss,
propositions affecting the South, conceived in far
more iniquitous spirit"
Mr.. Bolts, member elect from Virginia, says;
"What ,OiH pledge myself to do, is to vote for no
num- as President Vce President ,ohO is justly liable
to The suspicion Of disposition to interfere 0h the
institution of savc, any manner tchateuer, as il en-
lists under the Constitution. That am opposed TO the
principle Of the Wilmot Prouiso is certainly true. But
why? Not because think we have any right to ask
the North to aid in the extension savery, but be-
deny their right to lend any such aid. If ac
knowledge their right to aid IN its extension by egisa
ton, cannot deny their right to crtaL by egisla
ton Idsny their right to egisate at all upon The sub
ject"

Scene at Washington,

As was coming from Pennsylvania Avenue on the
mall last evening, little before sunset, in company
with the Hon. - -, of Pa, we met just in
front of the gate opening into the public grounds, a
four horse team, driven by white man seated upon
one of the wheel horses. The wagon had upon it a
large lumber box, into which was crowded, as nearly
as was able to count them, eighteen slaves. They
were all young men and women. Sorrow and unit
terabe grief were marked upon their countenances.
As they passed by they fastened their eyes lntenty
upon u.s. and appeared to mp assistance. But as
saw my fellow beings, created in the image of God
and redeemed by the blood of Savior, thus trans
ported to American Golgotha for sale, eXFerien-
ced sensations which have no power to describe
Would that some of our reverend clergy who defend
Slavery from Scripture had been present to have
the practical workings of the "Patriarchal Instltu
ton"
Behind the wagon rode two beings in human shape
each carrying large club in the form of cane, ant
each probably well armed with pistols and bowie
knives They drove up the Avenue to 9TH street, ant
halted at the tavern between the Avenue and canal
They took the slaves into the house am told unit
the crowd that had gathered around had dispersed ant
they then were marched over to William Hows
pen, on Maryland Avenue. 1t is said they all belong
ed to the estate of an Ex-Governor of Maryland, whit
lived in "Prince Georges county, and are on thei
way to Southern graves.-COr True Democrat.
