would be willing that William H. Sewart
should take possession of the Army, tht
Navy, and all the powers of the Govern
ment?
| Mr.. Nelson.-Of course I would not
l would deplore such thing.
Mr.. Pryor.-The gentleman will excuse
me, mean all the constitutional powers
of the President of the United States.-
Would he allow William H. Seward to
take possesson of these powers, or would
he resist it even to the extent of going out
of the Union?
Mr.. Nelson.-In answer to that ques-
ton, let me say that do not believe, from
the manner in which Mr.. Seward has ex-
pressed himself, that there is any danger
that such contingency will ever happen.
But even if he should be elected President
of the United States according to the Con-
stitution and the forms of law, the view /
entertain-and speak for no one but my
self-is, that that is of itself no cause for a
dissolution of the Union, unless he COM
mitted some overt act leading to the peril
of the South. The moment he did COM
init such overt act, why, sir, would be
willing, humble as l am, to link my shield
to the shield even of these secessionists, to
repel the wrong just as soon as would re-
pei wrong from any quarter.
The gentleman says that the Republi-
cans cheered me for the remarks l made
here. All have TO say to that is, that so
far as am concerned, whether the ap-
plause comes from the Republicans of the
North, or the South Americans as we are
called, or from the conservative men any
where, thank God there is still an express
sion of sentiment here in behalf of this
great and glorious Union. Applause from
the galleries and the Republican benches.)
1 trust that that feeling of love to the
American Union will expand and enlarge
among the members of this assembly till
there will be healthful spirit of action
amongst US. and till we can, in peaceful
quiet, constitutional, legal manner, effect
the organization of this House, and give
peace and repose to this distracted land.
1 trust that that sort of feeling will pre-
vail; and whether applause in behalf of the
Union comes from the North or from the
South, welcome it as happy and glori
Gus omen in these perilous times. Re
newed applause. + =
Mr.. Nelson.-Now, as the gentleman
has catechised me, would like to put
short catecaism to the gentlemen himself
Did 1 understand him that be and his as
sociates would resist by violence the organi-
zation of this House?
Mr.. Pryor-Certainly not; disclaimed
that. l expressly qualified the remark l
made to legitimate parliamentary resistance.
Mr.. Nelson-Of course there can be no
objection to that.

When Gov. Wise got well nigh scared

Of Abolitionists advancing to Charlestown
to rescue poor old Brown, be called upon
the Piedmontese to rally to the rescue, and
the Snaxe-hunters of that village, and the
adjacent mountains, advanced to the rescue.
The Wheeling IetsUigeneer tells the story
thus:
The PIEDMONT VOLUNTEERS. The
other day the order came to the town of
Piedmont, on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, directing the immediate oruani.
zation of company of fifty men to be
ready to resist invasion. It has not been
very good year for people about Piedmont
and SO there was some difficulty in muster
ing the required number, Notwithstanding
many of the snake-hunters of the adjoining
mountains rushed to the rescue of their
country. 1t was at last determined to-
draught sufficient number of men to GIL
the company, which was accordingly done.
A friend who has just arrived from Pied
mont saw the fifty men going through the
drill. He says he has seen all sorts of men
in his time, but nothing to compare with
this company, The snake-hunters particu-
larly, the half-horse, half-alligator noun
taineers, will be remembered by him as
long as memory holds seat in his distract
ed globe. 1t is almost much as a mans
life is worth to see them going through the
military-doings. They don't understand
what it's all for or what's to be gained by
it. They are quartered at the Woodside
House. The town constable, q waggish
fellow, raised an immense light on noun
tain top, Tuesday night, and fred several
shots. Immediately afterwards the noun
tain snake-hunters were aroused by the
sentinels. Some of them rushed out of the
house dressed in an old musket a chew Of
dog-leg tobacco and shirt; others came
out with their red wamuses at half mast,
while SONS refused to move q peg. The
roll was called and those who knew their
names and did not answer to them were af-
terwards put in the guard house, as was
the constable, for starting the alarm
Those passengers who are aroused from
their slumbers and jostled about by these
montrosities will be amply repaid BY .
sight of the intrpders.

~Some one having written to Mrs.
Swisshelm about Minnesota, she recounts
some of the bad features of the State as
follows:
"First and foremost moccasin politi-
clans; second, mosquitoes, which bleed. the
settlers three months in year; third, the
water is so hard that one must break it
with ashes before it will wash clothes;
fourth, the men have taken to chewing
tobacco, and they nearly all chew or smoke;
fifth, apples are scarce; sixth, weeds grow
very fast; seventh, sometimes the frost
kills the squash vines before the seeds are
ripe; and these are all that she can think
of at present, except that there is no coal
that the wood does not grow in stove
length, but has all to be chopped, etc.

Nelson's speech:
WASHINGTON, Dec. s.
The great debate yesterday in the House
eliminated in one of the finest and most
effective speeches ever delivered ia Con-
gress, by q new member, Mr.. Nelson Of
Tennessee. Heis South American, and
threw himself into the gap between the
Democrats of the South and the Aboli-
tionists of the North. His praise of the
Union was loudly applauded by the Re
publican side of the House, while the ad-
ministration leaders kept utter silence
Upon closing, Mr.. Nelson was greeted with
three tremendous rounds of applause
both in The House and in the galleries
and such vas the electric effect of bis
speech that dozen Democrats, Northern as
well as Southern, jumped to their feet and
demanded vote. The roll was called and
unfortunately for himself Mr.. Pryor, Of
Virginia. late editor of the States and
South newspapers, rose to his feet for o
speech OF course the Clerk could not
put him down, and the young and new
member essayed to do what old and expe-
rienced members would have shrank from
Ito reply to the speech of Mr.. Nelson.
For an hour he dwelt with kind of con-
temptuous severity upon Mr.. Nelson's
speech, when the last named member rose
and proceeded to administer one of the
most severe cssigatious to Mr.. Pryor that
was ever received in Congress by new OF
old member. In vain did Mr.. Pryor inter
supt the speaker-at every fresh Interrupt
ton he provoked reply which called forth
thunders of applause from the members,
and the rest of the audience, until at last,
fayed into ribbons, Mr.. Pryor allowed the
eloquent Tennesseean 10 finish his remarks
in peace. When at last the ballot was
reached, the general opinion of outsiders,
