THE CONTEST ON THE ARMY BILL.

From Our Cwu Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. "a, 1856.
As soon as the Senate adhered yesterday to its
determination On the Army Appropriatica' tho
House proceeded to the consideration Of business %
the Spt table, by which the original bill was
taken up from the point Of adjournment of tho l.ts
Session. One hundred and ninety seven members
were present, j. Scott Harrison not having re-
turned, as was reported.
On Mr.. CObb's motion to recede from the pro-
viso, there were 81 Yeas and 100 Nays.
Mr.. Dunn voted negatively, and the follow.
ing Northern men afirmstively; Messrs. Brown,
Cadwalader, Denver, Florence, Fuller OF Maine,
Harris of Ill Haven, Hickman Kelly, Miller Of
Indiana, Parker, Peck, Tyson, Vail, Walk, Wheel
er, Whitney, and Williams- eighteen; elk being
rom New York and six from Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Campbell reported an effort to ask for new
conference, but Mr.. Grow objected and the House
was brought to test on the motion Of Mr.. Wash
burn Of Maine, TO adhere, which resulted, Yeab %;
Nays, 81. On this division Mr.. Damn changed po-
sition, and Mr.. Robson of Penn, who was present
at the former test lost bis vote by inexcusable ab
sence. Mr.. Rust was alse absent and Lost his vote.
Great excite ment prevailed through the hall during
the progress Of the call, it steming apparent that
unexpected detection or dssertion had occurred on
the Republican side Messrs. Ball and Clark Of
N. Y. registered themfelves at the last moment,
having reserved their votes under peculiar debera
ton. Winter Davis returned to the South on both
these struggles. The House adjourned immediately

We do not wonder that President Pierce should
have called Congress together again to compel to
vote the necessary supplies for the Army. For, if
the Army should once go tn pieces, it ia altogether
likely that the people might fiLd out that they
could do uncOmmony we'll without one. Aud
then what would become of us all A Standing
Army used to be the dread Of all lovers of civil
liberty, as the ready tool which tyrants could use
for its destruction. 1t was long regarded with
THE suspicion in England, which was not aayed
until the device of enaciiDg the Mutiny Act only
from year to year, as well as the annual granting
of supplies, placed it at the mercy of the Parla
men, instead of at the disposal of the King. In
this country the same Just dislike was felt to ward
such an institution, which was seen in the dis
cOuntenance that was shown to it until Slavery be-
gan to take undisguised control of cur affairs.
Since the war with Mexico our Standing Army
has been double what it used to be. And now We
begin to see how Just we're the fears of our ances
tors as to the uses which cOlld be made OF this
machine when bad men had the control of it with
bad purposes to accomplish.
AS the business Of the country grew, and men
were more and more absorbed in developing it's ms
terial resources and adding to their wealth and
comforts, they grew less jealous Of the military
arm of the nation. Indeed, they thought little or
nothing about it. The cost of supporting few
thousand soldiers more or less was absolutely of
no importance at ALL and the idea of the President
of the United States undertaking to overthrow the
liberties Of the nation with ten or fifteen thousand
nen seemed simply ridiculous. And so it would
be in the way of an open assault--a coup dftat to
transform President Pierce into his Imperial Majesty
Franklin |. And yet We have lived to see the des-
TIMES of this Imperial Republic likely to be de-
cided by the weight Of the sabers of a couple Of
regiments of Dragons thrown into the balance in
which Slavery is striving to make Liberty kick the
beam. The dangers Of a standing army were only
looked for when it should be mustered by scores of
thousands and shake the continent with its tread
We never looked to see the time in which scurvy
thousand or 10 of men should endanger our libsr.
ties, perhaps forever. And we think that men
have not Jet begun 10 feel this momentous fact as
it should be felt.

The latest dispatch from st. Louis states that
thu story of the Free. State men Of Kansas having
captured Lecompton liberated the political prison
ers, captured Secretary Woodson, &c. is a fabri-
cation. We beg our readers to understand, once
for all, that the only telegraph which approaches
Kansas runs through Missouri, and is completely in
the hands of the enemies of the Free State cause.
Of course, every rumor or lying report calculated
to cast odium on that cause will be flashed
across the country and it is not certain
that the letters of our own and other
Free-State correspondents will be allowed,
even tardily, to correct these fbricatiOns.
They will be, as some have already been, stolen at
the postofces on that end of the route, their TO-
formation used by the Pro-Slavery party, and the
letters then destroyed. We shall spare no pains to

MASSACRE AT PANAMA

Late accounts from this place, state that
difficulty occurred between native and
passenger upon the Panama Rail Road
which grew into general riot among the
passengers and natives. The natives, after
skIrmish, retired, but soon returned with
a much larger force and made an assault,
upon the passengers. Some twenty were
Killed and about forty wounded. The bag
gage OF passengers and the depot were bro
ken open. Several innocent women and
children were murdered. An attempt was
made to get the passengers on board the
little steamer; but the natives formed Il
guard at the beach, and stripped men, wo-
men and children as they approached, til

and cars, AMI their pins from their cuffs and

dividend, but ut no distant day VIC may
expect it. The grand cause which has up
to this time precluded dividend, may be
attributed to the fact that the stockholders
did not subscribe enough, by more than
onc-llalf, to build tho Road the consc-
quence of which has compelled the Com
pany to make II debt Of at least million
of dollars, the interest of which, with other
debts which have been paid, has absorbed
the net profits Of the Road. 1t has cost
about two million five hundred thousand
dollars, the interest Of which, at per cent,
would be one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars; aud the income of the Road, de-
Quoting the running expenses, reaches near
ly one hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
SO that if tho stockholders had originally
paid enough to build the Road, without
creating debts, the Company would for
three years past have been able to declare
dividend of or ) per cent, and could
at this meeting have declared dividend Of
6 per cent.
