FORTRESS MONROE May 9.
by steamer from Yorktown learn that Gen.
Mcclellan had advanced twelve miles beyond
Williamsburg, and has had several s<irmishes
with the enemy, routing them with heavy loss.
The embalkation of troops for West Point is
progressing with great rapility. \ heavy battle
took place on Wednesday afternoon between the
troops of Gen. Franklin and Gen sialgwick,
and the rebels under Gen. Lee, who were en-
dearoring to make their way to Richmond. II
is said to have been the soyercst battle on the
Peninsula. The rebels were totally routed and
tianked, being driven back toward the forces un-
der Gen. Johnson, on the Chickahominy. The
whole number of Federals killed and wounded
was 300 the enemy were driven back.by our gun
boats with great slaughter. They had not less
than 30, 900 men, while our whole force at the
time was not over 20000--only that number
having landed. Had il not been for the gum
boats our troops would have been defeated.

Cameron in Oongess.

WASHINGTON, April 30.-Ihe following res
olution was submitted by Mr.. Holman, from
the Committee, and was read:
Resolced, That Simon Cameron, late Secrc-
tary of War, by investing Alexander Cum
mings with the control Of large sums of public
money and authority to purchase military sup
plies without restriction, without requiring from
him due guarantees for the faithful performance
OF his duties, when the services of competent
public officers were available, and by involving
the Government in vast number of contracts
with persons not legitimately engaged in the
business pertaining to the subject matter of such
contracts, especially in the purchase of arms,
for future delivery, has adopted policy highly
injurious to the public service, and deserves the
censure of this House.
The resolution was adopted-seventy-fi
against fifty-fve.
Mr.. Holman's second resolution read as fol-
lows
i'eSolred, That the Secretary of the Navy,
in the employment of George d. Morgan with
out requiring from him any guarantee for the
faithful performance of his duties in the pur-
chase Of a large number of vessels for the pub
hc use with compensation dependent on the
prices paid for said vessels, and receivable from
the seller, instead of employing responsible Of
ficers Of the Government, has adopted poll
cy unauthorized by law, destructive of public
economy and public confidence, and deserves
the censure of this House
The resolution was rejected-yeas 45 nays 72

SUICIDE.-George Kimberlin, formerly
of st. Clair tp., this county but recently OF
Bethel tp., Fulton CO., committed suicide, by
hanging himself, on Sunday night, 9th ult.
Deceased was q quiet honest, Woodworking
man, and highly respected by his neighbors.
1t it is supposed that some domestic trouble
urged him to the fatal deed The Fulton Dem
ocrat, of the 9th inst, has the following in re-
gard to this melancholy affair:
That the act was deliberate is proven by the
fact that he made arrangements in regard to his
property. He left the house in the night, and
was found in the morning, with rope around
his neck attached to the limb of a tree in front
of his house, and with his feet resting upon the
ground. Had he Strengthened himself up to
his usual hight it would have been impossible
for him to have stranglcd himself but being
bent upon self destruction he was able to ac-
complish his purpose under unfavorable circum-
stances, The deceased was about 45 years Of
age, and much respected by those who knew

Buying Freedom for the Slaves.

1t is generally admitted by all conserva-
tive men that the abolition of slavery in the
District of Columbia, was not only ill-timed
and impolitic, but positive insult to the
Union men of that gallant little State to
which the Federal Government is indebted
for the soil upon which stands the Capital
of the nation. But, strange as it may APP
pear, the conservative thinkers of the North,
have almost entirely failed to take the view of
that question which is pointed out so clearly
by the well-estabished maxim, "Charity be-
gins at home" They tell us of the outrage
upon the sensibiities of the people of the
Border States, of the deteriorating inhuen-
ces exerted upon Southern "loyalty," of
the encouragement given to the rebellion,
by the adoption of this unfortunate measure
by Congress and the President; but they
seem to forget that we of the North are more
directly and pointedly insulted, and that
Northern society is much more dreadfully
threatened, by the enactment of that mea-
sure, than the people of the Border States,
or shareholders anywhere. Why, is not
the Government by the terms of this pre-
cious emancipation law, to pay $500 per
head for every negro slave in the District i?
and where is it to raise the money but from
the people of the North? And what is to
become of the slaves when liberated? Where
will they goa The people of Bedford coun-
ty, can answer that question without any
trouble. They will come North. They
will be cast upon society to mingle with the
whites and to be maintained at their expense.
Many of them superannuated, others disea-
sed and decrepid, and the remainder accus-
toned to the control of a master, they will
become black lazzaroni, living upon the
charity, or the taxes, of the white people,
and cursing and blighting the industry and
enterprise of the laborng man. Hence, we
are not only buying the freedom of the slaves,
paying for their liberty out of our pockets
Dut we arc also to MAINTAIN them at our own
expense, when we have thus purchased their
freedom. Could Congress and the Prcsi-
dent have offered to the people of the North
more degrading insult than this To place
the African slave side by side with the white
laborer Of the North, compelling the latter
to. pay for the social elevation Of the former
and to toll for the sustcnance of the pur-
chased se,f! What apicture. Shame TO the
fanatics and demagogues whose work is this. I.
Shame, and shame again, to the man whom
accident, false pretence and folly elevated to
the Presidential office, and whose accidental
policy, false pretcnce and folly are dragging
down the American Republic to level with
the status of his own craftsmanship.
