WHAT DOES 1T MEAN? I'VE see it stated in the
Il. N. papers that there was meeting of the
American National Camp of the United States "
at Philadelphia on the 5th instant-that twenty
'hree States were represented, ard that Fillmore
anu Doneson were endorsed. Will the K. N. pa
pers explain what this means? Have the K. Ms
.nanged their tactics again? Do they still keep up
.ne'r secrecy under the name of "National
oamp!" How is it? Are these "Camp people
a aaUOt'onsts, or do they regard the repeal of the
ANSSourl line as only an "atrocious" act?

SHooTNa AFrRAY IN EDENroN, N. C.-The Nor.
folk Herald learns that a rencontre took place in
Edenton, two three days ago, between Mr. Cotton,
Editor of the Edenton Banner, and Mr.. Badham,
ed from a reply made by Mr.. Cotton to an anonyn-
GUS communication in one of the newspapers of that
section, which caused Mr.. Badham, who appears
to have been the author, to demand retraction of
several expressions in Mr. Coton's article, to which
he (Mr. CO. took exception. Mr.. Cotton replied
that he was ignorant of the authorship of the article
to which he had replied, and declined making any
retraction; whereupon Mr.. Badham commenced an
attack upon Mr.. Cotton, and in the scuffle pistol
was discharged by which Mr.. Badham was said to
have been severely wounded.
We learn that it was Mr.. William Badham, Jr,
who was shot, and not Mr.. John c. Badh9m. Mr..
Badham was severely, if not mortaly wounded

Another Pamphlet.

We understand that there is soon to be is
sued from the Washington U'iion office, a
pamphlet prepared by two very talented gen.
tlemen, who are new converts to the Demo
cratic party, assailing Mr., Fillmore's soundness
on the question of Southern rights, and If we
are not misinformed, there may be found in
the writings and speeches Of both these gen.
temen, about the year 1862, after Mr.. Fill
mores views had been presented IN his official
acts, abundant matter to overthrow their pre-
sent positions,
1t will be an exceedingly pleasant, agreea-
BILE, and easy task, to refute the arguments OF
those gentlemen who may thus assail Mr.. Fill
more, for pretended unsoundness on the slave
question, by quotations from the "sams au-
thors." To these quotations may be added,
the unqualified declaration Of Mr., Buchanan
q few years ago over his own signature, that
Congress had unlimited and erclusiue power
over the subject of slavery in the Territories,
which exclusive power "Old Squatter Sover-
eign" now says can be more safely exercised
by the Dutch and Irish, who have just landed

Col. Fremont i'm the Senate.

Mr.. Thomson, of New Jersey, moved to take up

In the following words
Rssolsed, That the President of the United
States be requested to furnish the body with copies
of the dispatches from Commodore Stockton in
lS46, forwarded by Mr. Christopher Carson, CIV
ing an account of his operations in California also
If in possession of the government, any despatch
or history from Messrs. w. B. Ide, John Grigsby,
and Samuel Nash, relative to the declaration of
independence or the history Of the Bean Flag in
California, previously to the arrival of Commodore
Sloat on that station.
Mr.. Thomson then addressed the Senate at very
considerable length, going into history of the
proceedings in California, from the incipiency OF
| the Mexican war, and denying emphatically that
Fremont was the couqueror of that country, as
claimed for him by his political friends, and insist
ing that the honor belonged to Commodore
Stockton. n."
Mr.. Bigler offered the following resolution
which lies over under the rule: ...-
Resolued, That the President of the United
States be requested to cause to be communicated
to the Senate at the earliest day convenient cop
les Of the letters and vouchers filed in the Depat-
ments in support of claims presented by and allow
ed to John O. Fremont, as an officer Of the United
States government, from the time he commenced
his first expedition to California in the year l842,
showing what claims, il any, we're disaowed, and
| the reasons for their disallowance. Also, whether
any moneys placed in the hands of John c. Ere.
mont for disbursement on the public account, re-
main unaccounted for at the Treasury; whether
any drafts drawn, or liabilities incurred by him in
tho public service remain uniqudsted, and, if so,
In whose hands are such unliquidated drafts and
why have they not been paid whether appropria-
tions made for the payment of drafts drawn or liza
bilities incurred by him officer of the gov
ernment, which have not been paid and cancelled,
were placed in his hands under the authority OF
law or otherwise. Also, whether there are any
letters or papers on file in either of the Depart
mcnts, made through an official source, charging
him with malfeasance in Office, and, if any, to
furnish copies thereof, and state whether he was
arraigned for such charges or notified of their
existence, and what reply did he make there
to. If not srraigned under the charges, why was
IL not done. With such other information as the
President and heads of Departments deem neces-
sary to throw proper light upon the subject incu.
ded in this resolution. .

The session was devoted almost to political de-

by signal ability and interest.
After an Executive session of an hour, the doors
were opened, and upon the resolution moved by
Mr.. THOMSON, of New Jersey, on the 4th inst,
calling for copies of Commodore Stocktons Cali
ornia dispatches, that Senator proceeded to deliv-
er speech on the subject and by an elaborate
review OF the military operations in California in
1916, argued to show that the conquest Of Cali
fornia was achieved by Commodore Stockton and
not by Colonel Fremont, whose respective claims
to that honor he examined and oontrasted.
Mr.. JONES, of Tennessee, then proceeded to
define his position.
Mr. FOoTE addressed the Senate on the Kansas
troubles.
Whilst this discussion was going on, Mr.. HUN

A despatch was sent from Mobile to this city last

city and county. 1t was utterly false, as will be
seen by the following statement from the Mobile

however, that there are few Americans about

prettiest to run in their candidate. We subjoin

We have waited for an expose Of the actual

for local officers can proper decision be made
as to their bearing upon the Presidential con-
test without the details. We present to-day

and which we commend 10 the perusal Of our

1t is evident that the Anties have played a
deep game in that State, not only in adopting
a rule TO allow but one candidate to run for any
office, whilst the Americans had two, three, or
half dozen candidates for the same position,
but also in forwarding, by concert Of action,
over the telegraphic wires, news from every
quarter of "great DEM cratic gains" when

have triumphed where the Antics claim the
