HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, July %, 1856,


Mr.. LETCHER, of Va, moved that the House
the Union, for the purpose of resuming the con-
sideraton of the army appropriation bill. He sub
mitted this motion because it was very important
that they should send some of the appropriation
bills to the Senate.
Mr.. GIDDINGS, of Ohio, referred to the fact
that this was objection day." when all the cases
on the private calendar, to which objection should
not be made, could be disposed Of He hoped
therefore, that private bills would be considered
Mr.. LETCHER would very cheerfally yield bis
motion If it were not absolutely necessary that
some of the appropriation bills should be sent to
the other body. The 18th August had been fixed
for the adjournment the appropriation bills were
still in the House, and unless they were disposed
of soon but little time would be left for the Senate
to act upon them. Besides, these bills were 81
ways returned from the Senate loaded down with
amendments, and frequently, in the last hours of
the session, the House were forced to take these
amendments to save the BILL
Mr.. DAVIDSON, of Louisiana, hoped that pi-
vate bills would be taken up; and
Mr.. CAMPBELL, of Ohio, urged the motion of
Mr. LETCHER. He thought that it was of great inn
portance that the army bill should be disposed of
this week.
Mr.. HOUSTON, of Alabama, called the attention
of the House to the fact that the Senate had not at
the present time single appropriation bill before
them.
Mr.. SMITH, of Virginia, contended that if the
House should go into Committee of the Whole on
the private calendar, they could accomplish some
thing. If however, the motion Of the gentleman
from Virginia should prevail, and the Army bill be
taken up, some revolutionary proposition would
be attached to it, and thus nothing would be done
The question was taken, and the motion of Mr.
LIE CHER was disagreed to--yeas IS, nays 1o4.
The Committees were then called for the pur-
pose of receiving reports of private character
a number of which were presented
The bill for the relief of Charles j. Ingersoll
heretofore reported from the Committee of the
Whole, was then considered and on motion of Mr.
ALLISON, Pa, laid on the table,
Yeas Ill, nays 90.
The bill for the relief of Anson Dart also hereto
fore reported from the Committee of the Whole,
Yves next considered, and was under discussion

Mr.. BarksdaIe,s Speech.

During the evening session of the House of Rep
resentatives on Wednesday, Hon. Mr.. Barksdale,
of Mississippi, delivered a most violent political
TRADE against Willard Fillmore. He assailed Mr..
Fillmore as an Abolitionist, and extolled ten-cent
Jimmy as a safe and sound Southern man. He
cited, as proof of Mr.. Fillmores Abolitiousm, the
fact that Mr.. Fillmore had voted to receive Adolf
ton petitions Buchanan has not only voted to
receive them, but presented them and defended
them from the assaults of Mr.. Calhoun. Mr., Bu-
chanan has, moreover declared that slavery is
great political and moral evil !" that the Missouri
Compromise was compact as sacred as the Con
stitution," and that he only voted for the snnexa
ton of Texas because 1t would be means of ar
resting the extension of slavery.
Mr.. Barksdale also denounced the Compromise
Measures of 1850, and assailed Mr.. Fillmore for
signing them. We rejoice at this; Mr. Barksdale is
disunionist and we rejoice that he is opposed to
Mr.. Fillmore. We characterized the Sag NIGHTS
party az party of progress, in favor Of stealing
Mexico and Cuba. We are glad to hear this can
did avowal from this disunionist The 0stend con-
ference leader is the very to represent his po
litical views. Mr.. Fillmore is neither in favor Of
stealing Mexico Cuba, of dssolving the Union,
and the support Of such men as Barksdale, Is
positive injury to any party or any candidate.

Colonel Fremont's Religion.
The Troy Wing has the following item

"Colonel R, Of Missouri, late collector of
Monterey, gentleman of the highest character
and an intimate friend of Henry Clay, slept for
eight months under the same blanket with Colonel
Fremont in California, and on being asked whether
he was Roman Catholic, replied, does any one
doubt it? If they do, I am ready to proue IT,
did not suppose there was any doubt on the sub
ect. Fremont is not only Roman Catholic, but
a most bigoted one If this statement should be
denied we are ready to substantiate it with afida
Wits from the party. If Protestants persist in
casting their SURFACES for Roman Catholic Presi
dent, we are determined they shall do 1t with their
eyes open"
II, by Col, r. the Troy Wing means Col.
Russell, of Missouri, who soas collector at Mon
terry, California, we have only to add, that no
man who knows him will dispute anything
which he may assert, and certainly If any man
can know the religious opinions of Col. FREE
mont, the man who was his camp companion
for eight months must know them.
Two months ago nobody here, as far as we
know, doubted that Col Fremont was Cath
ole, nor are we aware that any one here doubts
it now, but there are many here now who are
mum on the subject when Intercepted We
suppose they are obeying orders.

The Accomack, virginia, District.

This district, by the death of Gen. Bayly, IL
left without representative in Congress. IL
is a strong American district and will, we trust,
be represented, under new election, by tho
roughgoing American. General Bayly was an
American in his sympathies, and received the
American votes, at the last election, on the
ground of his conservatism, and his eminent
public services.
In the coming election, let the Americans
put forth their strongest man, and let there De
no division in our ranks. The people should
see that no personal or local feeling is permit
ted to distract the party. The Eastern Shore
of that district has had the Representative for
now over t,ceaty gears, and it is tit and proper
that the western portion of the district should
be allowed to furnish the member There are
good men and true in both sections of the dis
trict, and hence this suggestion can result in
no injustice to the party, and we know enough
of the Eastern Shore Americans to believe that
they will cheerfully support Western Shore
American. Mr.. Saunders, of Williamsburg
and Mr.. Segar, of Old Point Comfort, are spo-
ken of as candidates Both are reliable Amer
leans, as well as eloquent and talented gentle
men. The district would be ably represented
in the person of either of them. For the sake
of the cause, let there be convention of dele
gates to select the candidate, and when select
ed, we hope there is no American in the dis
trict who will not sustain the nomination. If
there be such man, the sooner his selfshness
is made manifest the better for the cause.

hoor Of the library Of the late lamented Henry
Clay.
I accept this token of your friendship and re.

merely or mainly Tor les costly aud elegant work
nsnship, but chiefly for the motives which prompt.
ed the donation, and the "reminiscences awakened
by the association. l shall never look upon this
cane without being reminded of Ashland, and its
late noble possessor. Though dead, he still lives,
and his voice. speaking from his conseerated grave
calls upon his countrymen 10 stand BY the Union
and maintain the Consultation.
He was my friend, and shall be most happy II
my conduct shall prove that was worthy Of his
confidence.
With renewed tbsnks, am, truly, yours,

tits well worth the cost of trip here to behold
the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains, and to par
take Of the heath-inspiring waters Of the spring
which supplies the town.
This spring is situated on al eminence above

In closing must say that, to the seeker Of
