The renowned Jefferson Davis, Secretary
of War, furnishes the correspondence be-
tween his department and Col. Sumner. He
says be gave Col. Sumner no authority " to
dIsperse unarmed meetings of the people Of
that Territory, or to prevent by military
power any assemblage of the people of that
Territory"
Ills letter f instruction, however, com
mands Col. Sumner to put down Insured
aionary combinations" and from what he
knew Of the animus of the administration, he
accordingly dispersed the Legislature at To
pcka as such &C combination"
Shrinking under this Cromwellian act, th'
President avows that be shall call Col. Sum
ner to account for it.
His attention being called to it, he disownl
the act as his, and JEFF. Davis says that Col
Sumner did it without authority direct OF
implied Public opinion has blasted thu
administration, and to escape, it endcavors
to shirk off ON an officer of the army an act
it cannot defend, but one which its course
throughout fastens upon it. g,ee- 5r s.

Col. Fremsnt's Accounts.
The following is more ineligible report
of the debate on Mr.. Bigler's resolution of
inquiry into Col. Fremont's accounts than
that furnished us by telegraph: ''@s az,
Mr.. Wilson, of Massachusetts,, said he re-
garded all propositions of this character,
whether made by one political party or an
other, as small business. The accounts of
Mr.. Fremont for the money placed in his
hands by Government had been settled. A
report had been made by Elisha Whittlesey,
covering hundreds of claims, under various
laws of Congress, for unsettled balances of
public money. In this report were found
the names of Worth, Gaines, Harvey, and
some Of the noblest and best men of the Re-
public; bat Mr.. Fremont's name was not
there. The resolution was an attempt to
blast Mr. Ffemont's reputation and charac-
ter. 1t appeared TO be blow from Mr.. Blu
chanan at his rival, given through his spokes-
man on the floor, II would not do him any
harm. se t.1 - .,s..,. ,lt gs7
Mr.. Bigler denied that Mr.. Buchanan was
in any way responsible for his action on this
foor He (Buchanan) had not been con-
suited in the matter. These charges against
Mr.. Fremont with regard to financial mat
tcrs had been extensively circulated, and it
was due to him that they should be refuted
from official sources, if it could be done. He
had anticipated no opposition to such reso-
luton from the friends of that gentleman,
Mr.. Wilson replied that Mr.. Fremont's
friends were abundantly abe to take charge
of his reputation. aG ssigsas ,.ss7ss.
Mr.. Trumbull, of Illinois, said if there was
to be general overhauling of accounts, it
might be as well to serve all the Presidential
candidates alike. He therefore moved to a.
mend the resolution by adding the clause
flat the President be requested to cause to
be communicated to the Senate, at the same
time, similar information in regard to all the
transactions of Mr.. Buchanan as an officer of
the Government, and particularly showing
how much money had been paid him since
he entered the public service; also, to COM
municate all the correspondence of Mr.. Bu-
chanap with the Government, especially that
relative to the Ostend Conference, and the
reasons why he was removed from his posi-
ton as Minister ut the Court of St. James !;
also, if removed at own request, and the rea-
sons for his asking to return, ifany.
Mr.. Douglas thought Mr.. Trumbull ought
also to included Mr.. Fillmore.
Mr.. Trumbull said that was not of so much
Importance, but that he had no objection.
Mr.. Wilson and Dir. Seward urged the pro-
priety ofofering the amendment as distinct
proposition. tfr4s~
The amendment was rejected and the res
olution adopted.

~ Hon. Bronson Murray, in letter to

greater than the average cost Of performing

He says: There is not person cultivat-

safely say, there is not person owning 500
acres Of prairie, but could Afford to unite in
the proposed subscription, 90 greatly is the

The Speaking last Thursday.

Pursuant TO notice, the candidates for the
State Senate and the Legislature, address ed
the people at this place last Thursday. They
have spoken in all the Townships in the
county, and an extended notice Of their
speeches is therefore .uncalled for.
Mr.. L. w. Robinson, democratic candid
ate for the State Senate, spoke first. He
got off by informing his audience that teri
sis" was near at hand-that the people
should be watchful, and act for the good Of
the country He then gave history Of par
ties, from the days Of Federalism and Re-
publicanism, under Adams and Jefferson,
down to the present time. In his travels
down, he took occasion TO speak OF the Fed
eralists, during the last war, and denomi-
mated them as patriots, though opposed TO
the war, and gave Webster as an instance,
TO cover up the Federalism of old Buck
The National Bank, and other questions of
the day were mentioned. When he got
down TO modern times, he took up the test
question, and sought to establish that it had
always been test of democracy old as
Jackson democracy. Calhoun's resolutions
of 1886 embodied the test-the Anterior
resolutions were for the test-but that ques-
ton had been settled. In the heat Of debate
those who admitted the power were called
free sellers, but not regarded as enemies Of
the South. In the excitement Of the canvass
men were called free sellers, but after re.
Election, the remark would not be repeated
Mr.. r. said the American party origina.

gotten up to divide the South and enable III,
