DoDefNG.-When the American army
was forming line for the battle Of Buena

as the guns were badly aimed. the balls in
every case passed over their heads, but suf-
fciently near to cause the men to invounta

voice, he bawed out: Indiana regiment

SPEECHES IN THE SENATE.-Mr. Nicholson, of
Tennessee addressed the Senate on Monday last on
the condition of the country. In the course of his
remarks Mr.. Nicholson said in the case of Kansas,
which was the last Territory likely to be organized
establish slavery, the South had the empty triumph
Of the laws in her favor while the North had the
substantial triumph. He further said the republi-
cans and abolitiOnsts only differed as to the mode
of reaching the same end Theresult to the South
will be equally DISASTROUS whether the abolition of
slavery is accomplished 10y the slow process advocat-
cd by the republicans, by which the constitution is
to be made the eXcutoner of slavery, by the mode
desired by the abolitionstS. He was not prepared
to decide in advance what contingency would justify
the dissolution of the Union; it was too momentous
a question TO be hastily determined. If our appeals
are diSregarded and our warnings met with derison,
and we be compelled to seek independence, our an
teccdcnt action should be marked with prudence.
He would have no words uttered by Southern men
which could be interpreted as menace at the North
At the same time, if all our warnings were dsre-
gardcd, he was in favor of independence He urged
moderation on the part of the South, and expressed
the hope of preservation Of the Union.
In the Senate on the same day, MIR. Hunter Of
Virginia, spoke on the same subject. He pointed
out the vast importance of the products slave
labor to the people North, and argued that there
was no "irrcprcssblc" hostilities between the two
sections Emancipation, he said, would prove cx-
trcmely injurious to the people Of all sections. If
the North could not in conscience carry out the pro-
visions of the Constitution the manly course for her
is to say so, and prepare for separation.

REDPATH, TIE ABoLLTIoNIsT.-We see it stated
that the Infamous Redpath, of Kansas and Tribune
notoriety has been summoned to appear before the
Committee raised by the Senate to investigate the
Harpers Ferry affair, and that he has written an
impude1t letter declining TO attend We hope the
Committee will bring him dead Oh alive" worse
man than Redpath does not faint the American at
mosphere with his breath. We learn that his
"Lire of John Brown" has just been published. 1t
is said to be tissue of lies from first to last He
has also published another book we learn which is
grossly inccndiary in its character. Reference is
made in it to this State, and one of our towns is
spoken of as favorable point for INSTRUMENTATION,
&c. If Redpath comes or can be got to Washing
ton, it would be good plan to bring him thence to
some poiEt in Virginia or this State and hang him
by the neck until he is dead.

Southern Americans to vote for Mr.. McCernand af
ter the warm and almost unanimous support given
to Mr.. Smith by the Democratic members?
On Wednesday, the 1st on the forty Fourth ballot,
Mr.. Pennington was elected. The vote was Penning-
