( The Secretary then recommends some lepis
lation on the part of Congress to provide for
deficit OF students from llo,al portions of the
country from which there are no representa-
tions, on account of the neglect OF members of
Congress to appoint some suitable person from
each district. The Secretary also expresses
the opinion that in the present exigencies Of
the country the number of students should be
increased. 5U g.gt ..o.f ...rrl,g ....'.

The AFFAIR OF july 2.-The Williamsport
correspondent Of the Philadelphia Inquirer
says, in reference to "Camp Stevens which
was occupied by the enemy when Gen. Patter-
son crossed the Potomac on the I'd Of July,
that Col. G. P. Dare found in one Of the camps,
immediately after the enemy was driven out,
the following unfinished note:
"Ca,np Steuens, July 2, 1861.
DEAR SUE: have written two or three let
tcrs to you and Ellen, but not being able to get
them to the Post Office, had to tear them up.
Our nearest Post Office is at Martinsburg,
about four miles from camp. We have been
at this camp nearly two weeks. There are
about $500 troops here, all Virginia troops, un
der Colonel Jackson. The troops from other
States are at Winchester"
This ia the most authentic and probable
statement Of Gen. Johnson's army which we
have seen.
The force Immediately on the Potomac, and
which fed before Gen. Patterson, consisted ex-
Clusively Of Virginians. They were placed in
front to prevent their desertion, Gen. johnson
being In the rear at Winchester with more re.
liable troops. These Virginians were posted
at Scamp Stevens" not to fight, but to run
when attacked. They were merely scarecrows
to delay Gen. Passrsons passage of the Poto-
mac.

Mr.. LINCOLN ON NEuTRALITY.-"In the
border States, so-caled-in fact the middle
States-there are those who favor policy
which they call armed neutrality that is,
an srming of those States to prevent the Union
forces passing one way, or the disunion the
other, over their soil. This would be disunion
completed. Figuratively speaking, it would
be the building of an impossible wall along
the line of separation--and yet, not quite an
trality, it would tie the hands Of the Union
men, and freely pass supplies from among them
to the insurrectionists, which it could not do as
an open enemy. At a stroke, it would take ell
the trouble off the hands Of secession, except
only what proceeds from the external blockade.
1t would do for the disunionists that which, of
all things, they most desire-feed them well,
and give them disunion without struggle Of
their own."-Asssaye Of Juy4.
