COMPROMISE.

t>There are persons who are very
wise in their own esteem, and who will
reject all compromise; but that is no
reason why compromise should rot
he attempted. l so for honorable
compromise when occasion calls for it.
Life itself is but compromise, until
the great Destroyer finally triumphs.
All legislation, all government, all So
cioty, is formed upon the principle of
mutual concession, politencss, comfy,
courtesy, upon these everything is
based. I bow to you to-day, because
you bow to me. You are respectful
TO me, because I am respectful to yon.
Compromise is peculiarly appropriate
between the members ofthc Republic,
as of one common family. Compro-
misses have this Recommendation that
if you concede anything, you have
conceded to you in return.
Treaties are compromises made with
foreign powers, which is not a case
like thins. Here, if you conccde any
thing, it is to your own brethren-to
your own family. Let him who ele.
Yates himself above humanity, above
its weakness, its infrnitics, its wants,
its necessities, say, if l'c pleases,
ever will compromise; but let no one
who is not above the frailties Of: oul
common nature, disda!n compromise. .

AFFAER ON rIIE POroNEAC.

WASHINGTON, August 6.--Yesterday fore
noon the steamer Resolute was ordered from
Aqua Greek to Matthias Point tor the purpose
OF accommodating. Seeing IL bateauX filled
with barrels on the shore just below the Point,
a boat was sent with six men to bring it off.
No sooner had the boat touched the beach than
a volley of musket balls opened upon them
from the rebel forces concealed in the woods,
killing three men instantly. Their names are
John James Fuller OF Brooklyn, masters
mate, who was pierced with ten oalls. Geo.
Seymour, captain of the gunboat New York,
pierced with seven balls, and Thomas FULLY
of Boston, pierced with two balls. Earnest
Walter, native Of New England, wounded in
the head, it is feared fatally.
Another vOlley was then fired by the enemy
as they moved their position or as soon as
they had time to reload. The Resoute was
about 700 yards from the shore, and fired into
the midst OF the rebels ole shot of canister
and nine of shrapnel, with, it is thought eX-
tensive havoc, willie other reports are posi-
tive to that effect. The scene on board the
small boat is described as heart-rending. The
dead lying stretched out in it and covered
with their own blood. The boat W as lowed
a short distance from the shore by me OF the
crew named Sanderson, who quietly stepped
into the water for the purpose, thus concealing
himself from the enemy. Another uninjured
man, it is said, lay in the boat stupetled by
the scene, while the wounded man helped
Sanderson row the boat toward the Resolute,
from which assistance was Immediately rem
dered. The enemy evidently congratulated
themselves that they had killed the entire
boats crew. The Resolute reached the navy
yard last night at IL o'clock, bringing hither
the dead and the wounded mah, who has
been sent to the hospital.
As the woods skirting the more important
crossings of the Potomac afford fsle ambus-
cades for the enemy, those who are best ac-
quainted with the river urge the application
Of fire as an effectual means of destroying the
present assailing advantages of the rebels, as
well as other measures for accomplishing that
purpose.
The propeller Resolute again went down
the Potomac this afternoon. The steamer
Mount Vernon, which came up, reports all
quiet,

WASHINGTON, Aug 16.-The1e is great ac
tivily in the navy department. Those who
complain of the nefciencv of that branch Of
the service, little know the immense amount
Of labor that has been done, an entire navy of
one hundred and fifty vessels having been
sent to sea within ninety days. This is better
than the British government did in the begin
ming of the Crimean war.
Not a soldier anywhere in America, under
federal authority, went without his pay on the
LIST of the month save those whose payrOlls
were blunderiugy inaccurate through the
incompetency OF officers. The gold was then
and is now ready for every soldier in the ser
vice
The president las made the following ap
pontments Vim H. Wallace of Washington
territory as governor OF that territory; Leander
j. S. Tumey of Illinois as secretary of
Washington territory; a. S. Paddock of
Nebraska as secretary of that territory VIM.
Walton Murphy OF Michigan, consul for the
landgrayile of Hesse- Hamburg, the duchy of
Nassau, grand .duchy Of lesse DArmstadt,
sc. and Samuel Whiting of New Jersey as
consul at Nassau, New Providence.
Many rumors prevailed this morning that
battle had taken place at Aqua Greek, but an
officer Just returned from that vicinity, states
that the rebels there had fired several shots at
the Pawnee probably from ritled cannon,
which she returned. The forces were too tar
apart to infict damage.
A court martial has been ordesed to try the
leaders in the revolt OF the Highland regiment.
Better feeling now exists among them
The authority conferred on Col. Schimmel-
fenng, Philadelphia is not revoked, and the
government "a anxious to secure the services
of military officers OF high professional distinc-
ton.
The suggestion of Gen. Butler, to transfer
our sick and wounded, who are in a condition
to be moved, from the Washington hospitals
to the Naval Academy buildings at Annapo-
lis, has been acted upon, and there they will
more rapidly improve under change OF at

Gen. Sumner has been ordered to raise
column of from 5000 to 10000 Caiiornans

Massachusetts, and is to be granted leave of
absence TO superintend its organization. He
will have full power to thoroughly equip the
division, provided 1t don't cost more in Massa-

Gen. Rosencranz, with small command, is

session of a British vessel, which they burned

tons on the success of his financial mission.

and Boston banks to take fifty millions of the
one hundred and fifty millions OF the seven
and three.tenths treasury notes at par, with
their reservation of the right TO take the re-
mainder if not absorbed by the other subscrip
tons is regarded as securing the taking of
the entire loan, and as marking at once the
patriotism of the parties who thus advance
TO the aid of the government, and their
ent re confidence IN its power and stability.
Opportunity will at once be given to people,
all over the country, to Subscribe to the loan,
and subscriptions may now be made with as.
sistant treasurers of the United States, either
at Boston, Philadelphia, or New York I'm

the same rate. Subscription books will soon

ST. LOUIS, Aug l6--A fleet of ten steam
ers which have been laid up fifteen miles be-
low here for some time past, was brought to
the city day by order of Gen. Fremont, to
prevent the possibility OF their falling into the
hands of the rebels.
Gen. Pope has about completed the appoint
ment Of safety committees in the counties Of
his department Since the adoption of this
plan, acts of violence have been less frequent,
and it is believed that in a short time they will
entirely cease.
1t is stated that some seven thousand rebel
troops are approaching Ironton from the south.
The federal troops in that region are posted at
Pilot Knob, Ironton, and Arcadia, three vii
lagos, which lay about two miles apart in a
valley, the narrow entrance to which can he
easily defended by artillery ; and flank
movement is not apprehended, in consequence
of the impossible condition OF the roads around
the valley.
