Mr.. Hale said he recognized a portion

preferred to his own crude ideas.
Mr.. Douglas said the quotation would
have great weight. 1t only showed
that it was read to avoid argument, and
to make a personal attack upon him.
Hence he would say, Come on, make
attack alter attack, get your quotations
ready in advance, l am ready for you"
The Senator from Massachusetts led Off
in miserable personal attack on him,
the Senator from Maine followed, and
then the Senator from New Hampshire
came in with what he called his little
speech. Mr. Douglas continued, saying,

Terrible Scene in China.

The Canton Press gives the particulars
of frightful execution by wholesale OF
Canton river pirates by the Cantonese
authorities. The pirates with their !ot.
chas were first entced out of the r,,..
and then a military and naval force was
stationed ten or twelve miles below Can
ton TO prevent their ascending the river
above that point. The pirates attempted
to get past this station in body. but
were only partially successful while the
Chinese Commodore pursued and de-
stroyed those who did. The Press says:
"There sailed past this guard post
three, some say ten, Canton lorchas and
tymoons; others hanging on outside in
case this detachment succeeded. They
were attacked by the mandarin force
three were burned, two ran up TO take
refuge at the Pagoda anchorage, and
the rest made out to sea as fast as they
could. The remainder of that day was
occupied in pursuing and capturing the
fugitive pirates who had escaped on
shore. Next morning, the 2Oth, the
mandarin armed boats we're in pursuit OF
the two boats that had escaped up tho
river. They came up with them about
noon, lying in shore at the Pagoda.-
There they were attacked their crews
dashed into the stream TO swim ashore,
and while floating on the water some
fifty were speared aud shot; 8 fine si-ht
to be seen for foreign seamen and res,-
dents.

Judge Douglas and the Lincoln AID
ministratf0n.-Peace or War3

In the Senate, on the 9th, Judge DoUG'
LAS in debate with CLINGMAN of North
Carolina, said he believed the Inaugural
was peace document, and not declara.
ton of war. In the course of his remarks
he said he did not desire it to be inferred
that he sympathized with the administra.
ton, or that in any contingency be and the
President would be associated, for he ex.
pected to oppose his administration on those
great principles which separated parties in
former times; but on questions relating to
the preservation of the Union by peaceful
means, and the settlement of the slavery
question by amendments to the Constitu.
ton, if he understood the Presidents true
meaning, he was with him.
On the 9Th, the debate was continued
and Mr.. WIGFALL made lengthy speech
in which he held that peace or war, depend.
ed upon the withdrawal of the troops from
the seeding States, and the acknowledge
ment of their independence. Mr.. DOUGLAS
in reply said be feared that Forts Pickens
and Sumpter could not be held much longer
by federal troops that there was time
when Sumpter could have been reinforced,
but he did not believe it could now be done
without the use of 10000 men on land and
sea. He said further:
There were but few men at Fort Sumpter to
serve the guns, and they must soon be exhaust
ed, and they had not bread and salt enough to
last thirty days. There must be prompt action
in favor of peace. He (Douglas) believed the
President was in favor of peace.
Mr.. Wigfall asked if Mr.. Douglas would ad-
wise the withdrawal of troops from Forts Sum-
ter and Pickens, and from the borders of the
Confederated States, and that no attempt be
made to collect the revenue.
Mr.. Douglas replied that he was not in the
counsels or confidence of the Administration,
and should not tender his advice until it was
asked for. Whenever the Administration want
ed advice it would doubtless ask it. 1t would
be hardly the part of wisdom to state what his
policy might be to one who may so soon be in
the councils of the enemy and commander of
the army. In reply to remark of Mr.. Wigfall,
Mr.. Douglas said he saw no reason to modify
any sentiment in his Norfolk speech. Mr.. d.
spoke further to the effect that if the admins
tration anticipate the use of arms, we shall see
a proclamation for an extra session of Con.
gress, in order to increase the regular forces,
and call volunteers into the field.
