We congratulate the patriotic citizens OF
the Seventh Congressional District over
their talented young Representative 1t
must be comforting to them that, while
they are volunteering and donating their
means for the overthrow of rebellion, their
Representative is doing what he can in Con-
gress to cripple their efforts and rob them
of success. A bill is introduced similar in
a great many respects to the celebrated force
bill of 1880, which was so democratic as to
pass by an overwhelming majority, in or
der to place the power in President jack
sons hands to crush the South Carolina reb-
eIs-and Mr.. voorhees, is found voting
against it; in company with such traitors as
Vallandigham and Burnett. 1t was demo-
cratic to suppress rebellion IN 1888; in Mr..
Voorhees, opinion, it is anti-democratic to
do the same now. What constitutes the
difference in the minds of bigots like him,
is that Democrat was President then, and
Republican now.
Mr. voorhees, being quite an "original 4"
not only manifests his patriotism in doing
what he can to sustain the rebels by giving
them all the aid and comfort possible with
out endsngering the safety of his neck, but
he has devised new plan of robbing the
government. His ingenuity in this particu-
lar must give him high position in the
opinion of the rebels. 1t was reserved fol
Mr.. VOORHEES, to degrade the Thanking priv
lege to the lowest depth. Circulars re-
questing patronage for democratic book
binding and printing establishment hav'
been detected passing through the Pos
Offices under the frank of Congressmal
VOORHEES,. law maker, hardly warm Il

young representatives,

The following is the Confederate account
of the engagement with Col Wallaces
Zouaves near Cumberland and Romney.
HEADQUARTERS, a o'clock, A. NJ,
Romney, June 81, 1861.
rY estaiFFfaaia 3 PORTION Of bis command, TWEEN
y-one strong, from Captain T.@Ashby's
company, on scouting expedition to Ma
ryland, dividing his command into three
bodies. He, with six men, met strong
force (4o) of United States dragons (regu-
larsl and made 9 running fight with them,
killing number of the enemy. Himself
and three of his men are missing, but two
escaping and we fear that they have been
killed, as their horses were led off by the
enemy. Capt. Ashby, who was also scout
ing with six men, hearing of the fight, i'm
mediately started in pursuit to rescue or
avenge his brother. On his way be was
joined by four of his men, making eleven
in all. They came upon the enemy, forty
strong, hid in a gulley filled with brush
wood upon the opposite side of the river,
near Patterson Greek Bridge. The enemy
commenced firing upon him, when be or
dered charge, fording the river in the face
of a destructive fire, and charging upon and
completely routing them, they leaving all
their horses behind them.
Ashby's loss was two killed and two
wounded, and four horses killed. His horse
was shot under him. Their loss was eight
or ten killed. Ashby secured enough horses,
one of which was his brothers to mount
his men, but owing to his small force, was
compelled to leave the others behind. Dick
Ashby was terribly cut up, one of his eyes
being shot out, and his head and neck badly
cut by balls.
Dick Ashby is noble man, and has en-
deared himself to US all, and l sincerely
trust that he made good his escape by abau-
doning his horse and taking to the woods.
Captain Ashby had over forty shots fred at
him, and his escape was miraculous. His
horse was shot twice aud killed under him
and he was wounded slightly in the leg,
which has not prevented him from pursu-
ing the enemy.

BGTThe Union men of Kentucky, if they
endorse the action of their Representatives
in Congress, will at once abandon the neu-
trail position they have endeavored to hold,
and say as Mallory did, that they are ready
to contribute men and money for the sup
port of the Constitution and the Union
The Nashville road having been blockaded,
the turnpikes are brought into requisition
for the purpose of transporting goods and
arms to the rebels; recruiting Offices for the
Southern army are opened in the State, and
it was telegraphed all over the Union yes
terday that z, 900 Kentuckians had gone to
assist jeff Davis, and from seventy to sew
enty-fve go daily. The Union men have a
majority in that State of over $4,000, and it
is their duty to come out fairly and boldly
on the side of the Government.
The Representatives of Kentucky in Con-
gress have no doubt seen the impracticabil-
| ity of neutral course since they took their
seats, and the consequence is, the manly
eH are staM6dhg ile, the secessonl5t5 are
busy. Every device which the ingenuity Of
treason can suggest, is being called into ae-
ton for the purpose of increasing the disun-
ion sentiment, and we say in all eandor to
our friends across the river, that unless they
come boldly up to this issue, the secession
lists will yet wreck the old Commonwealth,
and the armed forces Of both sections will
make their State the battle field. You tell
us that you are neutral, and in the same
breath profess to owe allegiance to the Uni
ted States. In this crisis no man can be
neutral. In the language of Mr.. Douglas
there are but two classes" patriots and
traitors r. JEFF. Davis asks of Kentucky nc
greater service than that her Union mer
should stand still, while his emissaries re.
cruit for his army and supply his troop;
with food and arms. Win they do it

paid long since, but for the difficulty OF

B1- Gov Floyd has given JEFF. Davis a
pair of fine horses. Prentice wants to
know if they are the horses he (Floyd) stole
from Sam Burke, Jefferson county, KY,
years ago. 1t appears that Floyd was q
guest of Bnrk's, and when about to return
to Virginia, asked Burke to let him take
his horses to Virginia, and that he (Floyd)
would sell them, and remit Burke the
proceeds. Burke consented, but since that
time twenty years ago, he has not seen his
horses or any "proceeds. 2 All attempts to
call the ex-Senat9rs attention to this mat
ter, have proved futile The question now
is, did Floyd give those horses to JEFF, and

Position of the Lincoln Goyernment---The
Feeling of the Cabinet.
Corre.pondence Of tha Nen Yort Ey.ninl

WAsHN GTON, May 2.-Do not believe one-half of
what certain teegraphers and letter-writers say
respecting the position of the different members of
the Cabinet. One or two of the Cabinet member
have been grossly msrepresented for two months.
Gideon Weles of Connecticut has from the ontset
been one of the most bold and radical members of
the Cabinet. He never was in favor of settling
difficulties by patched up compromise, nor has he
ever believed that peaceful solution was possible
Ten days ago when Washington was cut off from
the loyal States it was urged in Cabinet council
that q route should be opened around Baltimore.
Mr.. Welles advocated the passage through the con-
tumacioIs city, 1T will take twenty thousand troops
to do it, was the reply Then fifty thousand for
the purpose. said Mr.. Wees. Yetsome enemy of the
Secretary of the Navy has started the Story that he
is for peaceful separation of the two sections of
the country. Nothing could be further from the
truth. Everybody knows that Mr.. Seward has
been anxious TO avoid a lie has put more
faith than any of his friends in the Southern profess
siODs Of loyalty and peace. Even to this hour Mr..
Seward finds It difficult to dspel from his brain the
idea that the South will, withOuta conflict. submit
to the Federal Government. When this deusIun is
scattered, Mr. Seward will fight as zealously as any
body else. He took the ground last winter that he
would a last resort fight to save the Union.
Mr.. Bates is cautious and conservative, and Mr..
Smith is not unlike him in these respects. The de-
cided of the Cabinet are Chase, Blair, and
Wees Mr.. Blair is for keeping up the Post Office
system all the South, in the seeded States
well IS the neutral ones. He has urged upon the
Secretary Of War the policy of settling the mails
running to Philadelphia and New York via Bati-
more, at once. Mr.. Cameron objected to this. He
desired Baltimore to suffer the natural penalty for
her infamous acts. She is now shut out from the
rest of the world has no mail connection except to
the West and is hemmed in all sides BY Federal
troops. 1t would not take two months blockade
to work her entire destruction. Mr.. Blair stands
by the friends of the Union in Baltimore and thinks
that they should not be made suffer for the sins
of the SecessionIsts if it can be avoided.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1861-05-08

The Banner whose motives are well understood,
is quite anxious to know what the Idte Democratic
purity intends to do in reference to the nomination
of candidate for Governor. For ourselves, not
recognising the existence of Democratic party in
this contest, we have no right to answer Ii the
Banner means to inquire whether the Convention
which will assemble on next Saturday, intends to
submit to the attempt on the part of few of the
survivors of the late Union party to thrust can
didate upon the public and compelus to accept him
under tie threat If discoTd, as the day. but little
way off we shall decline venturing an opinion, how
ever much we might be pleased to relieve the anx-
ious fears of the Banner.
We had hoped that all questions calculated to
produce discord at the present moment might at
least have been deferred until we had disposed of
such questions as might be submitted to the actoDot
the present Legislature. But the gauntlet has been
thrown down by Messrs. MAYNARD, the editor of the
Bonner. and few others collected together in
Nashville. after it had been generally understood
there would be no convention and it will be for the
Southern rights party, composed ofall those who at
ressrt agree without reference to the past to say
whether they will take it up aoU or await some fu-
ture dsY.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1861-05-08

Col, GEORGE W. LAY, late aid to Gen. ScoTF, bat
now aid totho Governor of Virginia, has published
a card, in which he makes the following seasonable
suggestions in regard to the fitting out of vOlun-
teers:
"The State can furnish only The equipments of
primary necessity, in which not included by
regulation many small articles that are almost in
dispenslble such as tin cups, sheathfnves mate
rails for sewing with which every Russian soldier
is furnished BY his government brushes. spare
buttons, shoe strings tape sc. Each will have
10 keep his own clothes in order.
One OF the best securities for health, in the
soldier Will be content TO adopt preeaution every
where counsslled by the biggest surgical authority
is the wearing flannel belt next the skim from the
waist to the hips, so tied to lap well in front
soldiers greatest liability to disease is from ex-
posture to wet, and to changes of temperature, pro
ducing rheumatic or intestinal suffering. The fan
mel belt, closely wrapped keeps the lons and abdo-
men at nearly uniform temperature, which the
loose shirt VIII not effect. This belt has been re
| quired TO be worn b5 British troops in the West
Indies since many years, a1dswas prescribed in the
| French and English armies in the Crimea and con-
eidere0 equally important in hot and cold weather
| against dysentery and against rheumatism. The
material costs but little and one lady could make Ut
| number of belts in day."
Caters of linen duck or light cloth-a material
that will wash is best to fasten over shoes or ankle
boots, will, by keeping out the DUST prevent the
feet from chanlng, and not only increase the com
| fort but the rapdity and endurance of marching
| The color Should be white, or very light, to keeI
| out heat. The experience of the French the bes
marching army in the world, has caused these
| CATERS to be adopted part of the regulation
| equipment They are, however, of less importance
| than the belts.
To every company leaving for the field a suitable
quantity of such small comforts might be furnished
at a trivial expense. A small package of tea, ant
one of iitrc acid for light cases of sickness wheI
separated from hospital stores, might be added bu
nothing should be allowed that IS of weight ant
| would burthen the small means of Transportation
furnished for camp equipage, &c.
Col. Lay also accompanies these suggestions witt
another excellent one that societies be formed il
each town of the State for the purpose of providing
the means and personally attending to this impor
tant service to our brave volunteers
