Johnston, with his far inferior force, did
not feel justified in attacking, and Win

Correspondence of the Chicago Tribute
WASHINGTON, July 12, 1861.
The passage by the House, yesterday,
of Mr.. Lovejoy's first resolution, deelar-
ing that "It is no part Of the duty of
our soldiers to recapture fugitive slaves"
proved that the House is entirely sound
on that question, however unwilling to
connect it with an immediate repeal of
the Fugitive Slave Law, or the removal
of Major Emory. The large vote by
which the resolution was carried-92 to
55-wss unexpected by many, and the
alternatives included very many of the
most conservative Republicans. Indeed,
all of that party except Kellogg, of Hi
uois, Horton, Of Ohio, and half dozen
skin deep Republicans from Pennsylvania
and New York, voted for the resolution
An incident worthy of being noted
occurred on the floor of the House, while
the yeas and nays were being taken on
this question. The venerable Joshua X.
Giddings, now the U. S. Consul, at Mon.
trcal, was sitting with his successor, John
Hutchins, from the Ashtabula District,
congratulating him, perhaps, on the hap
py prospects Of the anti-slavery cause in
the hands Of the secessionists Of the
South. While thus conversing, Mr..
Burnett, Of Kentucky, the loud-mouthed

It is Their Duty.

1t is the imperative duty of the Legislature
to pass resolutions, appropriating at least one
million of dollars for the use of the United
States Government, to carry on the prepara-
tions now being made TO ensure peace to the
CO untry for we beljeve-in the words Of the
gallant Stephen A. Douglas" that the most
stupendous preparations for war, is the sures'
means Of establishing peace" California is true
to the Union and those who recommend that
she preserve neutrality, while that Union is
threatened with destruction, are traitors TO
their country. California cannot preserve neu
trality-the people do not desire it /; but, on
the contrary, would indorse the most unlimited
action on the part of the Legislature, IN sup
port of the Government. We caution the
members of the present Legislature, not to
turn aside from the united voice of the people
at this time, but to carry out their wishes, in
the manner we have indicated, or they might
as well give up all hope of preierment in the
future and in speaking as we do, we but re-
echo the sentiments of the masses of this Sec
tion of the State.

Cosr OF THE GULF STATEs-The horrible
injustice of the United States Government to
the Gull States is fruitful theme of secession
rhetoric. The following small bill, which we

do something toward otfsetting the amount

The UNION CLUB.-It will be seen by refer
ence to Call published in today's paper a
Union Club will be organized at the Court
House this evening Truly the roll is now
being called aud men must answer. Who will
appear at the Court House tonight, and form
one of the patriot band who will then and
there plant themselves upon the Union and
Constitution Who will place their names
upon the record and pledge their unfaitering
support to their country, in this, its hour Of
peril? or who will stand by with folded arms
aud complacent countenances and cry Peace
Peace Peace while cowardly traitors are
waging war of determination" against the
Government, and without the shadow of a
cause? Already the secession organs of the
State realizing the straits surrounding them,
have set up howl against the organization OF
Union Clubs, and charge them with being po-
litical associations but their asperslons will be
OF no avail, and although they charge the
members Of these Clubs with being Black Re
publicaus, Abolitionists, Coercionists and what
not-yet the terrors accompanying all these
names sink into insignfcance when compared
with that of traitor.

Inspection OF THE HARBoR DEFENsEs BY
GENERAL SuMNER-B -Brgadier General Sumner,
accompanied by his staff, visited the fortifca-
tions in our harbor yesterday. A niue clock
the party left town in the United States steam
er Shubrick, Captain Boggs, and proceeded to
Alcatiaz Island, where the troops were inspect
ed. The General found them in a high state of
efficiency, and that the utmost vigilance is be-
ing exercised by the command. Thence, the
party steamed over to Fort Point, where they
dsembarked at the wharf and proceeded to the
fort. We were present during the inspection.
and know that the General was muck pleased
with all he saw. He and bis staff, as well as
the soldiers, were in uniform, and the parade
OF gallant men, upon whose courage and loyalty
our country now leans with so much confidence
made one heart at least swell with emotions of
pride aud pleasure. Several of the lower tier
guns were fired at large white target, set up
on the opposite side of the Golden Gate, in
Marin county. The balls, in most instances,
went straight to the mark, making the sand fly
high and wide, and causing clouds Of sea birds
to start up from the beach. There are three
tiers OF caSemate guns Of great calibre in the
fort besides those in barbette. The firing of
these is sight worth seeing. The firing of
mortars from the parapet was particularly in
teresting. A seven inch shell was thrown a
great distance, to flag set up on hill, inland
from the fort. The mortar was of brass and
the projectle describing the arc of circle, and
being visible to the eve througout its course,
came down at the mark, knocking the flagstaff
over and exploding at the same instant, show
ing the accuracy of aim and the exactness with
which the fuse and charge Of powder ban be
graded. This style OF mortar. of which there
are many in the FORT is considereda an admirably
effective weapon. Shells were also thrown
seaward, striking far off toward Marin county,
and making a terrible splash where they fell
and exploded General Sumner spoke in terms
of high praise of the condition of the fort and
of the troops there. An officer with whom we
conyersed SAID that we could see no better IN
the army. They are a part of the Third Ar
tillery. and look like true soIdiers-fne tall,
manly fellows, with martial bearing that
shows careful drill The Preside was also Wis
tied and inspected. and there too, the same
state of discipline, watchfulness and general
efficiency was found. The forts command this
harbor and its approaches. and are 10 all res
poets the key to California.-Ahd, Nay Sd.

A CENTENNIAL.-lt Is a remarkable fact.
which has not been hitherto noticed, that this
is the centennial anniversary of the commence
ment Of the resistance of the Colonies to Eng
land In the summer of l76l. the opposition
to the Infamous Writs of assistance" in
Boston was commenced by James Otis, at that
time the leading lawyer Of Massachusetts,
John Adams was then young man. just COM
mencing the study of the law. In his remin-
escence of the famous speech Of Otis, before the
Royal authorities, he wrote, Then and there
the revolution commenced" Three years later
(lT64,) Samuel Adams wrote the first " rebel
lious' State paper, (the Instructions to the
Representatives of Boston,) denyinf the author
ity of Parliament to TAX the Colonies aud a
year later, Patrick Henry came out with his
celebrated Virginia Resolutions" which
Writ says, set the ball in motion" But it
was in l76l that the first open-mouthed protest
was mape against Parliamentary encroacements
on the rights of the Colonies. 1t is somewhat
singular that in exactly a century after the
commencement Of the revelation, which pro-
claimed liberty to people and to the world,
the hands OF traitors should be stretched out to
destroy the goody temple which the great and
the virtuous reared for their posterlty. 1t is
fortunate that there remang patriotism enough
in the land to crush out treason and preserve
the blessings of liberty for for future genoa
tions.-S. +. -ita.

Programme of the Campaign.
JNo. u. kEETCH,
S. +. DENsoN.

The following, from the Washington dis
patches of the New York Herald, presents
more in detail what has already been given by
the telegraphic dispatches
Official information has been received by the
President, from which it appears that New
York will have fifty thousand men in arms by
the lst of June, Pennsylvania forty thousand,
Ohio thirty-fve thousand, and Indiana, Illinois
and Massachusetts each about twenty-five thou
sand, and the other States in proportion.
The employment of this immense force will
depend mainly upon the course the Border
slave States will pursue in reference to the Sc
cession issue. As matters are situated now, it
is the intention of the Government to use the
$4,000 men called into service together with
the regular army, forming an aggregate of
about 100000 men as follows:
First. A corps ddrmee of 10000 men will be
collected in and about this point, for the pur-
pose of defending the seat of Government, pro-
tecting the military posts, controlling the
Potomac and Chespeak Bay, and keeping open
the communication between the North and the
Capital Washington will serve for its point
d'dppul, while its line of operations will extend
all along the left bank of the right shore of the
bay.
Second. a second corps, twenty-five thou
sand strong, will be formed in and about St.
Louis a portion of it will be employed in
protecting the Union men and Federal property
in that State from the violence of secession
sympatbizers, and the rest in holding Cairo, at
the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi, the
most important sirategcal point in the West.
Third. OF the remaining forty thousand, five
thousand are expected to be thrown into West
ern Texas, to form nucleus, around which the
UDionists of that State will gather.
Fourth. twenty-five thousand will be en-
ployed in demonstration for the relief of Fort
Pickens, and the recapture of the other fortfi-
cations about Pensacola bay
Filth. Ten Thousand men will be kept hover
Ing in steam transports between Charleston
and Savannah, to worry the rebels by necessi-
tating the presence of a large defensive force
in both places and effect landing whenever
opportunity shall offer.
The army operations will be seconded by a
strict blockade of the mouths of the Missis-
sippi and all the Southern ports Orders for
general blockade have no., as reported alrea-
dy been issued, but will doubtless be given as
soon as the steam frigates now fitting out will
be ready for sea.
This programme reflects exactly what the
Government have decided to do, but will, Of
course be materially changed i'll case Virginia
and other Border Slave States should secede.
Washington, however, will te defended, and
Fort Pickens relieved at any COST Of blood and
treasure.
