To the Editors Of the Republic
GENTLEMEN; In your paper Of this morning I
have read report Of what purports to be my testi
mony, a. given before the Naval Court Of Inquiry
recently assembled at Annapolis; in which per-
ceiye several errors, inadvertent ! am sure, and
which ask the favor Of you 10 correct.
For instance, am represented as saying that III
detached the late Captain Irwin of my department,
toho commanded division under General pullman,
with instructions" &c. What said was, that 81
detached the late Captain Irwin, principal quar-
termastcr, with the division under General Quit
man" Not having access to the proceedings Of the
court, may not use the precise language, but this
is the substance.
Again, am represented saying supposed
from two 10 five hundred thousand draft animals
could be obtained" What | said was, (slludng
TO the movement Of General Quitman and 10 that
precise time,) thatI supposed from two 10 FIVE thou
sand could be obtained. So soon ss ] shall be able
TO obtain official copy Of my testimony, I shall
ask you, in justice TO myself, TO publish IT,
am, gentlemen, most respectfully, your ODE
dicnt servant, TIL. s. JESUP.

When, on the Dist day of January last,
the PRESIDENT of the United States trans
mitted to Congress all the documents
called for by resolution of the House of
Representatives relating to California and
the Territory of New Mexico, with mes
sage pointing out mode of adjusting the
vexed controversy which had wellnigh
arrayed one section Of the country against
the other in mortal defiance, il was the
first CLEAN Of sunshine that penetrated
the thick darkness which had gathered
about and obscured the path which led to
peace and safety. II was period of
fearful moment. The animosities which
had been fomented by the factious of one
section and the fanatics of the other had
reached an intensity which seemed TO
have hardened the understandings of
men against moderate propositions, and
sealed the hearts Of our people against
the reception Of fraternal counsels. At
the commencement of the session the ex-
element had already been famed to a
heat that solved ligaments which had
hitherto been sufficient to hold men to the
rigorous performance of their party en-
gagements. II had succeeded in sending
to the National Legislature third organi-
cation, which held the balance of power
between the adherents of the ancient
creeds Of the country and these latter
were further weakened by discontents
which, on the one side, led 10 open dis.
affection, and on the other held members
together by loose and uneasy fealty.
The irritations, the iDtrigues, which
''well-nigh covered the House with oblo
quy"-the contentious, the recrimina
tions which dis6gured the many week,
wasted in fruitless efforts to organize tn,
House Of Representatives-are too fresh
in the memory to require recapitulation
Whilst their representatives figured in I
prolonged scene of confusion bordering or
anarchy, and evaporation approachin,
violence, the people wondered, then muir
INJURED, and, finally, maddened at spec
tacle which they first thought discredita
BILE to the legislature, and afterwards dan
gerous TO themselves. Pending these un

BOARD ACCOUNTS.
The bill TO establish Board of Accounts, being
the special order Of the day, was taken up and
postponed till to-morr The Senate then pro
ceeded to the consideration of the unfinished bust
ness, being the bill granting the right Of way and
making donation of land TO the State of Illinois,
in aid of the construction of
THE CENTRAL RAILROAD, (ILLIsoIs.)
Mr.. BELL moved to recommit the bill with the
following instructions, accompanying his motion
with some remarks explanatory and in favor OF his
proposition: ,n,,n.
portion of the nett proceeds of the lands given to
the State of Illinois and to the States OF Alabama
and Mississippi, shall be secured to the States Of
Tennessee and Kentucky, respectively, equal TO the
proportion of the entire line of the railroad proposed
10 be constructed from the southern terminus of
the Illinois and Michigan Canal to the city of Mobile,
which passes through each of the two latter States
TO be applied by them TO the construction of the
tons divisions OF the road within their respective
jurisdictions.
Messrs. KING, DOUGLAS, FOOTE, and
SHIELDS opposed the instructions, and Mr.. BELL
supported them.
Mr. DAYTON moved to amend the instructions
by adding thereto the following:
PrOuidsd, further, that, after the appropriation of
the lands herenbeforc referred to- TO the States
hercnbefore named, the nett proceeds of the sales
of the residue Of the public lands, from and after
the 3st day of December next, shall be divided be-
tween the several States of the Union and the Terrific
res thereof they now exist, agreeably to the pro-
visions of an act entitled ''An act to appropriate
the proceeds of the sales of the public lands and to
grant pre- emption rights" passed September 4,
lS4l. The provisions of which act, SO far as the
be properly applied, in the distribution of
the proceeds of said Sales hereby reenacted and
re-affirmed.
The debate continued, embracing the whole
policy of the Government in regard to appropria-
lions for internal improvements, and the distribu
ton of the proceeds of the public lands, and was
participated in by Messrs. DAYTos, SHIELDS, BELL,
DAWSON, DOUGLAS, TURNEY, BENTON, HUNTER,

these gratuitous and illiberal reproaches,
which had much to do in turning the
current OF public sentiment into party
channels. This might have been ex-
pected of {" Bitter enders;" but SO long
as their defamation fell short Of wound
ing the principle upon which the mes
sage was based, the policy yet made
progress in the affections of the country.
The most serious injury it received was
from some Of those who professed APP
proval of the recommendations of the
message. The representatives Of the
people whose property was alone affected,
or supposed to be, by the slavery agitation,
naturally grew suspicious when they saw
protested agitators supporting one portion
of the message in speeches in which they
gave the country clearly to understand
they would not stand up to the principle
of the remaining portion, if the people Of
the Territory did not espouse their view
Of the slavery question. This, in prac-
teal sense, has as little meaning as the
Wilmot' has yet few persons deem
it luxury to act in concert with those
who chuckle over their cooperation as
the infatuation of fools. We say that
portion of the press, and certain mem
bers Of Congress who enforce the recon-
mendations of the PRESIDENTS California
message, do not disguise the fact that, if
the remaining Territory were to come to
Congress for admission as State, without
the "Wilmot'' in her constitution, they
would not hesitate to vote the Interpolation
Of that principle upon her fundamental law.
This might be tolerated in stthird organi-
cation" men-in Free-Soilers per Sc
in Abolitionsts in faith. But this is not
all-other indications have been garnered
up. And when those writer's who make
it point to assail the highest names in
the Wing party for venturing suggestions
of their own on this subject, again COM
pute the measure of damage to the cause
done by this or that man, may we ask
them to cypher up the sum of distrust
likely to be sown in the ranks of any party
by those who, when conformity engaged in
promoting plan of settlement of ques
ton with many issues, in the act of taking
their share of the arrangement, declare
higher law for their action than constitu-
tons, oaths, compacts, agreements, or any
contrivances of merely mortal obligationl
