SENATE CHAMBER, Jan. 24th 1860.
Mr.. Coghlan, Reporter IN Senate:
Sir | beg to call your attention to the edito-
rial article in the Staunton VandicGtor, which
imputes to me, Gas the editor says, on the au-
thority of your report of my remarks,) hostility
to the bill for the payment Of the volunteers
from Augusta county. | do not believe that
your report warrants any such imputations
but TO remove all doubts as to your purpose, |
desire you to state whether nv remarks did not
show that I was in favor of paying the volun-
teers, and objected only to the payment OF con-
structive charges; also, whether, instead of as
sauting the Augusta companies did not avail
myself of the occasion to pay them handsome
compliment for their zeal, patriotism and gal
antry Yours, &c.,
ALEX H. II. STUART.
In reply to Mr.. Stuart, have to say, that
made but synopsis OF his remarks in the Sen.
ate on the 18th inst, and in this | do by him
exactly as do by every member of the Senate
except where the remarks are very brief, or are
written out and handed to me for pubica-
ton. That synopsis closes with the following
words: He (Mr. Stuart) was not, at the same
time, opposed to legitimate and legal claims
By these words, | intend to convey that Mr.
Stuart was in favor OF paying the volunteers al
such claims as were, in his view, just-that is
such as were not for constructive SERVICE" or,
in other words Gas understood him to explain
IT'D such as were not made tor servants and
horses not in the actual employment of the
State.
To Mr.. stuart's second query, have to reply
that, in addition to what my report contains a:
said by him concerning the prompt mastering o
the Augusta volunteers and their departure fo
Harper's Ferry, he took occasion to pay, during
| the course of his speech, very high compli
ment to that body of men.

999 Cheers for Alabama.

Ala anna has spoken in thunder tones against
the seceders and all disunionists. She has
trampled Yancey and his followers in the dust.
In Montgomery, Yancey's own county, the
Breckinridgers were defeated.
In Antauga, Fitzpatricks county, where the
issue was made squarely and earnestly, as it was
in Montgomery, the Douglas candidate beat his
opponent some hundred votes, both the opposi-
ton and seceders running tickets.
In Coosa, the Douglas candidate for Sheriff
beat the foremost Breckinrdge candidate five
hundred and eight votes, and all three combined
one hundred and fifty votes
In short the Mobile Register, from which this
gloIous news is taken, declares:
So far as heard from, the Breckenridge men
have not carried single county entire, and have
been defeated either wholly or nearly so, in
Montgomery, Chambers, Macon, Tallapoosa,
Coosa, Antauga, Russell Conecuh, Perry, Tus-
caloosa, and it is reported in Clarke and Ma
rengo.
What say our Breckinridge friends to this
news? Do these results mean nothing? Do
they foreshadow the success of the seceders'
ticket in Alabama? Do they indicate that
Douglas is destitute of supporters in the South
If Breckenridge can not carry his oacn State, ana
if with the assistance of Yancey, he cannot carry
Alabama, in the name of all the gods at once,
what State beside Soutl, Carolina can he hope
to seeureT VIII the Herald please answer this
ounstion
