Milwaukee Press and Nous, the President,
Vice President, and the chairman of every
committee of the Senate are from one
section of the Union; five out Of seven
members of the Cabinet al c from the same
section, and the other two from border
States, The popular sentiment of which
they do not represent. Now, perhaps
there is nothing sectional in government
thus constituted, but it looks amazingly

facts, the party in power calls itself Ma
tional.

Kansas the danger of su ffering from scar>
city is over, and that the season is vel!
advan ced. A letter from Bourbon county
to a gentleman il Madison, dated the 4th,
says:
"Our spring wheat is sown and our fall

thing promises an early spring and an
abundant harvest. The thermometer for

without feed. We had no snow to cover
the ground, except in drifts and that only
for a day or two. Fifty miles further
north it was otherwise"

ANOTHER FIGHT At MATTHIAS POINT.
THREE UNIONIsTs KILLED.
THE SECESSIONISTS ROUTED.

The steamer Resolute arrived ut the Navy
Yard this morning, bringing up the wounded
and killed at the battle Of Matthias Point.
On the morning of the 18th, at about eleven
O'Clock, Captain Craven dispatched the steam.
ers Resolute and Reliance to make recon
noisance Of Matthias Point. AT about 8 p. M.
the Resolute, Acting Master Budd, returned to
this anchorage and made report substantially
as follows:
That In obedience to orders he proceeded
down the river, TO make an examination Of
Matthias Point, aud the immediate vicin ity.
Nothing indicating hostile movement could
be discovered at or about the Point. Herring
that schooner was ashore at Lower Cedar
Point, Ne thought It advisable to 60 down to
her, and get her off ifpossible. A boat was
seen on the Virginia shore, short distance
this side Of Persimmon Point.
He then dispatched an officer and FIVE men
In boat for the purpose Of capturing her.
They bad just reached her, and were in the sct
Of m aking to fast to her, when volley Of mus.
kerry was iirsd1tsom the rebels in the adjoining
bushes, not more than FIVE or six yards dis
tant, instantly killing three Of the boats crew
and wounding another.
Capt. Budd Immediately opened FIRE, throw
ing shell into the cover that sheltered the
enemy.
After four or five rounds, they were driver
out running in parties Of three and four, II
different directions, some Of them runninl
into some dwelling-houses on the right. Th'
survivors Of the boat's crew succeeded II
getting her off from the shore. while Captail
Budd was firing his guns
The Reliance coming up ut this moment
commenced throwing she'll at the flying enemy
and also sent boat to assist in getting m
boat of. Nothing was left behind.
The enemy, finding the shell coming in sue
rapid succession, ran in every direction, seeh
Ing shelter wherever they could find It.
The boat that was lying at the shore wa
evidently placed as decoy, to shoot the boat
crew when they came near enough; bu
. through the vigilance Of commanding office
? Budd, in opening fire on them, their desig
:. was frustrated.
The attacking party numbered about fifty.
