CHARLEsrowN Dec. l6. P M-But little
difficulty was experienced in getting in town.
Shortly after the arrival of the train in the
afternoon, a grand military review of all the
companies in attendance, took place. The
troops went through their evolutions with
great skill, and were reviewed by General
Talieferro, who was on the ground in full
dress, and was mounted GA spirited char
ger.
The prisoners were visited yesterday af-
ternoon by the Revs.. Messrs. Nassau, Dut-
ton and North of the Presbyterian Church,
and the Rev Beverly Waugh, of the NJ. E.
Church. The services in the cells were of
an interesting and solemn character, and
were participated in by all the condemned,
though it is now evident, from subse-
quent events, that Cook and Coppie at
least, were playing possum, as their
minds must have been fixed on hopes
of liberty, rather than death and eter-
nifty AT the time they were making
outward pretensions of designations they all
| gave an unqualified assent to the convic-
tons of religious truth and each expressed

A TENNESSEE AMERICAN IN CONGRESS-
The Washington correspondent of the New
York EUsniHg Post, referring to one of the
members of the House of Representatives
from Tennessee, says: t.'
The great debate yesterday in the House
eliminated i'll one of the finest and most
effective speeches ever delivered in Congress
by new member, Mr.. Nelson, of Tonnes
see He is South American, and threw
himself into the gap between the Demo-
Gratis Of the South and the Abolitionists of
the North His praise of the Union was
loudly applaudcd by the Republican side of
the House, while the Administration lead
ers kept utter silence. Upon closing
MIR. Nelson was greeted with three tre-
mendous rounds of applause, both in the
House and in the galleries; such was the
electric effect OF his speech, that dozen
Democrats, Northern as well Southern
Jumped to their feet and demanded a vote.
The roll was called and the desks removed
for action, when, most fortunately for him
self, Mr.. Pryor, of Virginia. rose to his feet
for n speech. OF course, tho clerk could
not put him down, and the young and new
member essaytd 10 do what old and eX-
pericnred members would have shrunk from
to reply to the speech of Mr.. Nelson.
For an hour he dwelt with a kind of con-
temptuous severity upon Mr.. Nelson !
speech, when the last-named member arose
and proposed to administer one of the
most severe castigations to Mr.. Pryor that
was ever received in Congress by a new OF
old member In vain did Mr.. Pryor inter
rupt the speallcr-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, tlayed
into ribbons, Mr. Pryor allowed the eioquen
Tennessecan to finish his remarks in peace
When, at last, the ballot was reached, thu
general opinion of outsiders, and, indeed, ;
majority of the members, was that the dis
uniouists had Jared badly in the days de
bate in fact, were whipped out of sight
and that, too without any participation q
the Republicans in the quarrel.
