The Times correspondent states that the

POmeroy, of Kansas, was Chairman, Nc
Pherson, Of Penn, Clerk.
ThRd. Stevens made a long speech in
favor of emancipation. He denounced Nc.
Clellan as trying TO control the legislative
and executive powers Of the nation.
Deviu, Of New York, replied, saying if
the object Of the caucus was to provide q
war policy, it was very improper. The way
to end the war was by fighting, not by re-
solutions Of Congress. He closed by offer
ing two resolutions endorsing the Phila-
delphis and Chicago platforms; that this

NEW YORK, Dec. 10. 81
The following is an abridged copy of the
report of Capt. Wilkes, assigning his reason
for the arrest of Mason and Sidell:
.. s. STEAMsR SAN JAoETO, AT SEA,
November l6, 1851.
The Governments of Great Britain, France
and Spain having issued pro,lamatiOns that
the Confederate States were viewed, con.
sidered and treated as belligerents, I felt no
hesitation in boarding and searching all ves-
sells Of whatever nation Is:tell in with, and I
have done 30.
The question arose in my mind whether
had the right to capture the persons Of
the Commissioners, and whether they we're
amenable to capture. There was no doubt
that had the right to capture vessels with
written dispatches. They are expressly
referred to in all authorities, subjectiDg
the vessel to seizure and condemnation if
the captain Of the vessel had the knoWl-
edge Of their being on board,
But these gentlemen were not dispatches
| in the literal sense, and no where could
fnd a case in point. They had been present
ed the Captain General of Cuba by H. B. NJ
NJ. Consul General, but the Captain General
/ told me be had not received them in thai
capacity but as distinguished gentlemen ant
| strangers. l then considered them as th'
enbodyment of dispatches, and it thereforl
became my duty TO arrest their progress anC
capture them if they had no passports from
the Federal Government as provided 10

foreign ministers Of q belligerent on boar
Of neutral ships, are requested to posses
papers from the other belligerent, to per

BIartelIo Towers,

The Philadelphia Ledger, Of November
I9th, in an article on "The Delaware
River" referring to the opinion of dis
tinguished military officer" said:
hHe especially advocated the strength
ening Of the Publications by the construc-
ton Of MartellO Towers. In reference to
this defense q word Of explanation may
be necessary. At MoFtells, in Corsica,
strong tower made most determined re-
sistance to a superior force Of English at
taeking it in 1884. Struck with the eff
cscy Of the construction, the British Gov
ernment ordered tWenty-seven of these
towers to be built on the channel coast to
provide against a French descent. By
corruption from Mortella, these towers
we're called Martello, name applied to a
strong but small tower, with walls Of great
thickness, thoroughly cannon proof hav-
ing its door some distance from the ground,
and ladder which can be drawn in.
Each tower mounts one trsversing gun, in
working which the men are defended by a
lofty pRrapet. The tower is manned by
from six to twelve men,"

Il TrcaaurT Report.

We reserve any extended synopsis Of the
Treasary report until we have the dOOu-
ment in full but the telegraph brings
enough to show that the Report is able and
exhaustive. The vast interests Of the Uni
ted States are in good hands. Secretary
Chase grasps the details ss well as the
gsnsralitiss of his Department, and pre-
sents paper which We guarantee has had
no superior for practical sense. The figures
he gives are enormous, but We have an
enormous country to make the figures good.
The Report tells its own story in plain
language, and We refer to to it for all par
tieulars.

correspondent Of the St. Louis Republican
says the other day man started out with
his ooffes.pot for milk on his return, an
officer suspecting him of having whisky
in his can, wished to examine it, and the
man satisfied him by pouring out milk.
At night there was general drunk in that
soldiers quarters, ending in fight. It
was at last discovered that the man hsd put
q little milk into the spout of his can, seal
ing the inside with bread, and filing the
can with whisky. That man is acuie''

Another Of Flayd's Tricks--SsTenty ThOu-
sand stand Of Arms seug 60 California.
Some weeks since we published dis
patch to the effect that the Government ex-
peOted to receive $1,000 stand Of arms
from California, and were st less to con
oeiVe how 90 many could be spared from or
have gone to the Pacific coast. It seems
that the CalifOrnians were equally aston
ished on discovering how rich they were,
as viii be seen by the following from the
Los Angeles Star:
Seventy thousand stand Of arms we're
sent hero by Floyd, and so secretly convey
ed to the Benicia arsenal, that no one not
especially entrusted with the information,
knew of their arrival Even after the
arms had been stored in the arsenal for
months, the Legislature made requisition
upon the General Government for materials
Of war, which requisition was actually
complied with, and the arms solicited we're
promptly furnished. This shows that the
Administration itself was not aware of the
bOuntiful manner in which Floyd had sup
piled the State with muskets and rifles.
The arms were sent here, without doubt,
in expectation of their being seized by Sc
eessionists. Had the plan succeeded Cali
fornia would have been in q state Of reVo-
luton to-day. In the programme Of the
rebellion arranged at Richmond, the at
tempt Was to be made either 70 unite Cal
ifornia with the South or form distinct
Oonfederscy Of tha Pacific States. A can
vass Of the popular feeling demonstrated
the impOssibility Of efecling either Of these
schemes Of treason, or even seizing and
retaining the arms for the use Of the South.
Discovered by the Department $4,000 Of
them we're returned to the Atlantic States,
and the remainder conveyed to Alcstrsz
where such Of item as are not in use are
safely stored, The question may well be
asked, SIN q time of profound peace, what
excuse was there for sending 7Q, ,000 extra
stands of arms to California2" Floyd only
can answer; we can only conjecture.

An Old umbrella. aud dOughnuts a score,
A bottle Of h'ir oil, new dressing case,

tortoise shell basque that Looked well on iiTt,
And to ill a great want that the ladies do need,
Sne took some back numbers Of Godey's 20 rea1,
But when she had all her things and was ready,
She Oubd that her packauo would then be too heavy

Aud lal, shs resolved 10 take her farewell
The cave was built OF Milwaukee brick,
IL was hve stO les high aud the walls very Thick,
Ihe doors dOuble-iOcked, 81 she looked for rope,
To escape by the window was her only hope.
She took off the cord from her bed with will,
And she fastened IL quick to the strrng window SILL
But before she did go she resolved she would pay
For the roDe If she damaged it in any way;
Then she went to the window and commenced to de-
scpnd, ""
But on Lord from such accidents do Us defend,
For wh, shs wa four hundred feet in the air,
The cord broke with the weight of its burden fair
