MR.. CLEMENS srKEcH-ALxosr FnAcAs.
Clemens Of Virginia, made Union
speech, which completely overwhelmed and
stunned the secessionists. He, of course.
treated the Republicans to q Democrats
opinion Of that party, and paid his rs-
spects to the Abolitionists in strong terms
of denunciation, but when he attacked ss-
disasters to them, and the loss consequent
upon dissolution and the formation Of two
separate Confederacies. there was an in
tense excitement on the Democrstic side.
In the midst of this his hour expired. snd
upon an attempt to extend his time. bois-
ferrous scene occurred. which at one time
threatened a row. Martin Of Virginia. and
Rust Of Arkansas. attacked Clemens
bitterly. in violation of the rules and or
ders of the House. Martin said: Let him
him 60 on with his treason: we will teach
the traitor when he gets to Virginia" Lo-
gan of Illinois replied: If his speech 10
treason there is no man in Virgins who
can answer It," Fouke of Illinois, insist
ed upon Clemens going on. Rust and
Hindman Of Arkansas. declared he should
not, and upon attempt being made to give
him leave. first the Southern men very dis.
courteously refused it. Their excited be-
haviour showed that he had told the truth
and touched to the quick. Washburn Of
Illinois followed in IN able speech.

to do the work of both Charleston and her

Of any former period, and we are informed
that 26 were cleared at the Custom House

Railroad is also pressing upon the Com

RECONCILIATION OF DEPARTMENTS.
The recent change of the head Of the
War Department in consequence of his
sympathy with secession. is likely to lead
to valuable and needed reorganization of
its several bureaus. / am informed by
one who is in good position to know
whereof he speaks. that during Floyd's ad-
ministration there have heen employed q
much larger force of clerks than were ever
needed. and in many instances the work Of
each has been curtailed in order to keep up
the full number of places to be filled. 1t
is also notorious that in the War and
Treasury Departments. there have been
