THE SEARCH FOR THE BODY
OF COL. CAMERON.
HIS TWO rnIENDs TAKEN PRISONERS
WASHINGTON, July %.

w AsHlNGlON, culy 20.
Information was received this evening
relative to Messrs. Arnold, Harris and
Msgrsw, who several days ago went in quest
of the body of Col. Cameron. The former
was sent by the rebels to Richmond and the
latter to Manassas Junction. They did not
accomplish the object Of their mission.
Mr.. Brick, who drove them to Bulls Run,
has returned. and reports that all the dead
are not yet buried and that the slaughter on
the aide of the enemy is greater by far than
they themselves report
II is believed that Gen. Mcclellan has
been assigned to the command OF the troops
on both sides OF the Potomac. He visited
Arlington on Sunday, in Company with Sec.
retsry Cameron.
Unofficial information has been received
here that the rebels contemplate at an early
day, the planting Of q battery on the Poto
mac, a, points TO command the ehsafel. As
part Of their general programme. they have
at Acquia Creek. five guns upon one battery
and tbree upon another, and while an excur

rae mrssAen AND THE carries.

There have been various learned and mn.
learned, wise and unwise criticisms op the
Presidents late message, but We claim Tor
our neigbbor OF the Northumberland County
Democrat the rare merit Of having discovered
something in 1t which no one else has been
able to 6nd. 1n the Democrat Of July 18th
the editor, in commenting on the message,
says, in regard TO the Presidents views on
Secession, that
"He acknowledges the right Of Western Virginia to
secede--form a new state and elect Governor aud u
Senators at the same time acknowledging that south
Secession 10 Illegal thus pretending that one-hnli OF
State can secede while whole State cannot"
The editor of the Democrat will greatly
oblige Us and many others, by pointing out in
what part Of the message the President
acknowledges any such right OF Virginia to
secede and form new State.
Now, we had supposed that everybody ybo
reads the papers, at least that every editor
knew the fact that, although il was first
contemplated by the loyal citizens Of western
Virginia to form new State out OF part of
the old one, that the idea was abandoned,
and that the present government at W heeling
processes, and properly, too, under the con.
stitution, to be the only true government Of
the entire State. Our neighbor labors under
the erroneous idea that new government
necessarily implies new territorial organi-
zation, aud confounds the two-and then
belabors tho President because he has not
furnished both argument and understanding
to all bis readers, which Mr.. Lincoln GER.
tainly was not bound to do, even though he
is Republican President.
With the above specimen OF our neighbours
critical acumep, We are not surprised that
he should iud some of the paragraphs of
the message ipeomprehensible."
! The message, it is true, is not a classical
production, but is perfectly Ineligible and
eminently patriotic, matter OF much more
Importance OF this time than
"Words of learned lenebth and laundering sound"
''To amaze the gazing rustcs range around"
The only paragraph in the message relating
to the eubject Of secession in Virginia, is as
follows -
"The people Of Virginia have thus allowed this giant
insuTTecton to make it's nest within her borders and
thus the Government has choice left but to deal with
where it finds it, aud it has the less regret the oya
citizens have, in due form camed its protection. These
loyal citizens this Government is bOund 10 recognize
| protect as being Virginia"
In this the President distinctly states thni
he recognizes the government of the loya
citizens in Virginia "as being Virginia.
Our neighbor should learn to discriminate
between a government and q territory, Ii,
one being about as much like the other as
farmer is to bis farm.

~ FORWARD TO RIcHMoYD.-The New
York Tribune acknowledges its error 10 hav'
ing persstently urged the army forward to
Richmond" and thus, perhaps, induced the
attack oD Manassas before there was a sufi.
cent force ready to meet the enemy. Mr..
Greeley says be will hereafter lsave all these
matters to the Secretary of War and com.
mander 10 chief as the proper persons to
attend TO these affairs. This is certainly a
wise conclusion. 10 this instance. at least
discretion is much the better part Of yalor.

meeting.
During the absence OF the committee. the
Rev J. w. Langley addressed the meeting,
and adverted to the war and the cause Of it,
in his usual eloquent style. He paid just
tribute to Col. Cameron and those Of bis
fellow soldiers who left their homes and FAM.
lies TO defend the honor aud integrity OF one
Of the best governments ever devised by
men.
The committee then reported the following
resolutions, viz:
Whereas, The melancholy intelligence has

killed whilst at the head Of his regiment,

act of kindness to all. We, bis immediate
friends aud ueighbors sensibly feel and mourn
his loss.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with
his widow and friends 10 this The hour of their
afflictou. In this dispensation Of Divine
Providence they have the satisfaction of
knowing that be died doing bis duty 10 a
