General Bankrupt Law.

Petitions are in circulation in the City of
New York for signatures, praying Congress
TO pass at the coming special session a gen.
eral act of bankruptcy. The petitions EN-.
body the draft of a bill which the petitioners
say would be satisfactory to them; and as
this is a matter not without interest here,
we subjoin a copy of the petition:
ITO the Honorable the Members of the Senate
'and House Of Representatives Of the United
Estates, in Congress assembled:
1.-THE petition of the undersigned most re-
speetfully showeth:
That, in the opinion of the undersigned,
the passage of a General Bankrupt Law is
eminently necessary in the present dis
tracted condition of the country and its
finances.
"In times like these, of utter prostration
of public and private credit, with many per-
sons of enterprise and talent debarred by
misfortunes in business from the active pur-
suits of life, and with a divided country,
adding its embarrassment to those Of trade;
it would appear that no other measure than
that referred to could afford the desired
relief.
"Your petitioners, therefore, most respect.
fully and earnestly pray your honorable
bodies TO pass a General Bankrupt Act.
The following bill meets with our entire
approval;
"AH Act 10 Provide a Uniform System Of
Bankruptcy.
"SEcTIoN l. Be it enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives of the United
States of America, in Congress assembled
That every person who has heretofore OBJ.
tanned, or may at any time after the passage
of this act obtain, a discharge under the
present or any future insolvent laws of any
one of the United States, mall be entitled tC
file his petition in any District Court Of the
United States in and for the District wher.
such person shall reside, setting forth, undel
oath or affirmation, the fact of his discharge
as aforesaid, and praying to be deereed
bankrupt under this act. And thereupon /
shall be the duty of said Court to inquire int
the truth Of the fact so aYerred in such peti
tion-of which the petitioners insolVent dis
charge, duly certified, under the State law a
aforesaid, shall be conclusive evidence. Ant
if il shall appear to said Court that the saiC
petitioner has been so discharged under
State insolvent law as aforesaid, the sait
District Court of the United States shall
thereupon enter a decree, declaring the peti
tioner a bankrupt under this act and th,
Clerk of said Court shall, when thereto re
quested, grant q certificate of such decree.
$50. z. Every petitioner receiving a Ger
tiheate under this act shall, in addition to tn
privileges conferred by any insolvent dis
charge under any State law aforesaid, be for
ever exempt and discharged from all debt
contracted prior TO said insolvent ~dischargC
"SEo. 8. The clerks granting certificate
under this act shall be entitled 70 receive 5
for each Of said eertihcates."

right; len us sen our liberies and save the
Union. IT. on the other hand, there is some
thing more valuable than the Union TO be
gained by resisting him who comes 10 en-
slave, let M have Il, even though The Union
disappear amid the storm Of battle.
II is admissible perhaps yet for women
and ~clerpymen, poets and sophomores to
rhyme and hymn and compound sounding
nonsense about the UnioR-to forget that IL
is gone, or to hope, in idle prettyisms, 70
bring e back again but IL Is better for indi-
viduals Of the masculine gender 10 see the
facts as they arei 10 learn to face them in
their naked truth, and, in word and action,
to conduct themselves accordingly. The
Union is a thing that was. II has had its
day, performed It's mission, and gone. There
Is nothing in the political or social elements
to indicate thst It wi i'll ever return. To make
tAe Union--eitherupOn the presumption that
It still exists or that Il may be recon-
s~tructed-the foundation ofany plan of gov
ernmental policy, or political action, would
be the most unwise thing that could be i'm
aRined. n ISL
The South rendered Secession publicly to
the North, in words and actions, and secretly
plotted invasion and revolution. We are
virtually accepting the one, and actually re-
polling the other. Why not do the former
directly and to the fullest extent-recognize
the ground upon which we really stand, and
avail ourselves of its advantages1 This is
the way that brave men do; and the sooner
we come up to the requirements of our condo
ton, the sooner we shall reach q desirable
result.
The time for moral cowardice is past. We
have no Union let us ayow it and place
our action in terms, as it is in fact, upon the
right ground-war for the sake of peace.
We are repelling invasion, laying the fouuda-
ton of a new nationality, getting happily rid
Of discordant and dangerous elements; and,
for the sake of tranquility in the future, want
no copartners who do not voluntarily seek
our society.

FATAL DUEL BETWEEN BoYs.-A very
youthful duel was fought in Richmond q few
days ago. Two boys, one aged ten and the
other twelve, had a quarrel. A little negro,
who had got through his thick skull some of
the ideas of chivalry prevalent in that region,
told them they had better fight a duel to
settle it. To this the boys readily assented.
The young darkey measured off the distance,
and the boys took their positions. The elder

The negro was severely whipped, and SO

From Baltimore,

One Of our reporters has been on visit to
Baltimore, to find out the truth of the various
rumors concerning the state Of things there
The whole number of uniformed soldiers in
that city amounts to about three thousand
The city at present is perfectly quiet. As far
as he could ascertain, there is but one flag
flying in the city, and that is the flag of the
State.
The feeling in Baltimore is undoubtedly
"Union," if they we're allowed to express their
opinion without being molested.
Among the distinguished characters there,
who have lately fed from this city, is the in.
mortal Lum Cooper" Lum is there, trying
to raise ap army for the South to fight against
Washington. We think Baltimore is in quite
q helpless condition, to accept such men as
those who are only known in the community
which they have left for standing about the
hotels, and with their blatant tongues pouring
forth like the serpent all their filthy slime
against the place which has fed and given
them all they have got in this world.
The sooner this community gets clear oi
such persons, the better for the quiet and law
abiding people Of this District.
The majority of the community of Balh
more dee ply deprecate the action of few
rowdies Of that city in attacking the Massa
chusetts regiment while coming through An
napolis.

parts Of the Union, composed of Senators,
members of Congress, State Senators, and
Representatives, army and navy officers, and
representative men. This battalion was organ.
ized on the 18th of April before any reinforce
ments reached this city, when the capital oi
the nation was in hourly expectancy OF being
invaded by armed traitors, assisted by many in
the city, and was detailed for duty every nigh,
to guard the White House, Navy Yard, and
other places. Their vigilance has caused sew.
eral important arrests Of traitors, and their
known courage has struck terror to enemies
within and without the capital.
A large number of this battalion, in con-
junction with Gen. James Lanes company, who
have done similar duty, yesterday afternoon
visited the seventh regiment Of New York, the
sixth and eighth of Massachusetts, quartered
in the Capitol, and also Colonel Burnside's, o.
Rhode Island, at the Patent Office, and were
warmly received. Speeches were made By
General Lane AID Colonel Vaughn of Kansas
Private Parker of the sixth regiment of Mas,
sachusetts, aud others, singing the Star-Span.
gled Banner y in the Senate Chamber, assisted
by several ladies. The enthusiasm was un
bounded. The loyal citizens of the District o.
Columbia will long remember these companies
with gratitude.
On the return of the battalion to their quar-
ters they were escorted by the splendid banC
Of the Rhode Island regiment, detached for tha
purpose by their gallant colonel-a complimen
which was highly appreciated by the Clay Bat
talon.
