giving the fugitive counsel and evidence
at thescost Of the United States, and re-

The latest advices from the Capital,
up to the time of going to press, in
Gates that neither the report of the
Committee of Thirty three, or of the
Peace Conference, would receive the
number Of votes in each branch of
Congress requisite to their passage, and
the probability is that Congress ad-
journed without adopting any measure
of conciliation.
The tariff bill, which passed both
branches, became law by the signature
of Presidan Buchanan. It takes OBJECT
on the 1st of April.

place last summer, it may be interesting:
Capt. John Pope, of Cincinnati was
yesterday notified to report himself to
court martial at Newport, Ky, to be

expression quoted. 1t is regarded here,
by men of all parties, as evidently the
last expiring malice and imbecility of
the poor Old Public Functionary, who
has suffered the Government, whose au-

robbed, deGed and spit upon, without
lifting finger to yindlcate It's power,
but now singles out for his appropriate
vengeance an Army officer, who dared
