AIDES of Gems Hancock, Brooks and Brannan.
and Motifs and Bars batteries, and Fried
mans cavalry, was to have been reviewed
Friday afternoon by Gen Mcclellan: but Is
public business prevented him from beng
present, Gen Smith himself reviewed the d
vision. After passing in review the req
ments were drawn up in line of battle, the
artillery occupying prominent points, and
Fredmans cavalry having been posted in 4
position to make charge. The infantry
and artillery first opened the fire, which was
continued by the entire division for nearly an
hour. movements as in actual battle being OBJ
served. They imagined the enemy TO be in
the direction o; Lewinsville. Ayres' battery,
which occupied Smooth Hill, took part in the
mock engagement. The exercises were clos
ed by a charge from Friedman's cavalry on a
tancied column OF the enemv's infantry
The only accident was that to Charles Tren-
ser OF company |. of Philadelphia, who was
thrown from his horse and seriously injured.
Both the review and sham battle were in The
highest degree creditable to Gen Smiths d.
vision, and showed that il has rapidly pro-
crossed in discipline and efficiency.

agant, but perhaps not more so than many

a class of the best men in both Houses
have been determined to foist certain resolu-
tons, raking up the negro question, upon the
legislature. Doubtless they are sincere, and
with more candor than Sempronius can
cry
I'll below out for Rome and for my country.
And mouth at Caesar till shake the Senate.
One of these resolutions introduced by Sem
ator Wheeler, informing the president that
NermontS soldiers will not return fugitive
slaves, has passed; but as an offset to it the
odious enactments of 1853 on Persona, Lib
erty are repealed.
The House is composed of homogeneous
material practically; tor IN inverse ratio to
the Legislative talent has been the activity of
the members, thus leveling the diversities
which are sometimes seen there. Perhaps
no man could be singled as the leading spir-
it. Mr. Sabin of Georgia, Miner of Manches-
ter, Pingry of Weathersfeld and Fletcher OF
Cavendish have had much experience. Mr.
Gardner of Bennington, Miller of Pomfret,
Seymour of Nergennes and Stewart of Mid
debury, are useful men that know when to
say word, and never say it otherwise. But
no one in the House has beaten Myers of
Jamaica III speeches, unless it be Balch of
Ludlow or Thomas of West Farlee.
