The First Gun.

We publish this morning telegraphic
despatch from Augusta, Georgia, communi-
eating information of the most important
character. 1t comes from the agent of the
Associated Press, an authority which we &C.
cept as reliable. The hour at which the de-
spatch was received will not allow US to III
dulge in the indignant comment which this
outrage upon the American hag would justi-
fy, and we content ourselves with the single
remark that the most efficient measures
should be adopted to vindlcate the honor OF
the Nation.--C Union.
Rumor CONFERENCE.-THE american Vessel fired
into One man Killed.
AUGUSTA, June AN American vessel
was fired into off Pensacola and one man was
killed. The steamer Fulton is alone in chase.
The rumor that another American vessel
was fred into by British cruiser of Pensa-
cola. Fla, and one man killed, is confirmed
BY more recent advces, together with the
statement that the q. S., steamer Fulton,
Capt Almy had gone in pursuit Of the bel
lgerent vessel, with the Intention OF captur-
ing and bringing her into L. 5. port. Ere
this collision has probably occurred between
the two, for we learn that the naval officers
sent to the beleagured seas had positive orders
to protect American merchantmen even If an
encounter was inevitable; and from the de-
termined and patriotic character OF Capt.
Almy it is not to be supposed that be
would forego prompt and complete obedience
to such Instructions, on account of squemish
apprehensions that his conduct might not be
justified by his government and countrymen
in the absence of a declaration of war be-
tween this country and Great Britain. Fur
Their intelligence from that quarter Is anx'
iously awaited Wash Star.

The MEXICAN PRorECroRATE subject, we
are glad to see. has received its qutetus in the
Senate. On Wednesday, Mr.. Houston made
40 Intellectual motion to call up bis PROPOSE
ton in favor of establishing a protectorate
over Mexico, the necessity for which he
thought was very great, and would probably
soon be greater, unless some measures wtr'
taken for the protection Of American life
and property in that country. MIR. Hunter
hoped the vote On the motion would be con-
elusive Of the question during the present
session, and that the author would 80 regard
it. The motion was rejected; yeas 10, nays
80.

The FoRr SMELLING Case was settled In
the House of Representatives,, on 'Wednes-
day. The question was upon the resolutions
Of the committee, which declare the sale to
have been made without authority OF law by
the present Secretary of War against the of
fetal opinion of his predecessor, and without
the advice of any officer of rank; and that
the agents who conducted the sale were To-
competent and negligent in the discharge Of
their duty. 60.
Mr.. Faulkner; on behalf Of the minority
of the committee, offered a resolution as a
substitute, declaring that the evidence repor-
ted has failed to exhibit any fact or circum-
stance which 10 the slightest degree impeaeh-
co the personal and official integrity of the
Secretary of War, and that the committee be
discharged from the further consideration OF
the subject, &c.
Mr.. Clark, of New York, proposed, as an
amendment to the substitute, resolutions to
the effect that the evidence has failed to e1-
bibit auy fact Or circumstance impeschlng
the personal or official conduct Of the Secre-
tary of War, but condemning the manage
ment of the sale as injudcious and impro-
per; and that the evidence in the case be
transmitted to the Secretary of War, to the
end that with the advice Of the Attorney
General, he may adopt such measures as, IN
his opinion, the public interest may require
Mr.. Clark commended that this course was
most just aud reasonable. The discussion
was continued by Mr.. Smith, Of Illinois, who
explained bis Sheet in moving the inquiry,
and by Mr. Petit, of Indiana, in support OF
the report of the majority of the committee
until nearly three O'clock, when the House
was brought to vote upon the several pen
ing propositions.
The vote ON Mr.. Clark's amendment t.
MIR. Fsulkner's, was decided in the affirmative
ayes ll6, noes sc. Mr.. Faulkner wished Il
add prOviso requiring the Secretary OF Wa
to report to the House bis future proceed
ings, but objection was made; and the vote
being taken on substituting the resolu
tons Just adopted for those reported by th'
majority of the committee, it was decided II
the negative, IS to los. The substitute o
MIR. Clark was therefore rejected. Th'
question then REQUIRED on the resolutions
the majority of the committee, and, after re
jecting proposition to lay on the table, th
vote was finally taken. The first resolution
was rejected by vote Of 81 to 81, and, OIL
motion of Mr.. Faulkner, the whole suhjeo
Was laid on the table, by vote OF SO to 10.

TeIeCr.phic Dispatches.

WASHINGTON. Jlue 2--The House Com
mittee on the Judiciary took final action to-
day in the case Of Judge Watrous, OF Texas.
Eight members were present, and they
were equally divided on the question as to
whether be should be impeaChed for high
crimes and misdemeanors, one side being
neutralized by the other, and thus the ques-
ton has been brought to close.
The impression is now very general that
the session Of Congress will be prolonged be-
yond Monday, probably for two weeks. The
Senate has yet to dispose of seven or eight
public appropriation bills, and have made
the British Aggression Resolutions the spe-
cial order for Saturday. In addition, there
is other business requiring the concurrent
action of that body.
