The Trent Affair in Congress.

Mr. Thomas, the successor Of minister Adams
as member Of Congress from the Quincy Dis.
trict in Massachusetts,, made very decided i'm
preston by his speech in the House, Tuesday.
on Che Trent affair Alter discussing at length
the Lass Of the case, and demonstrating that IL
was on our side he closed as follows
When this whole matter shall have been
thoroughly considered and weighed, tho iudg.
ment Of civilized world will be with us. and
it will be seen aud felt that no wrong was done
TO England that there was no wrong in the
iOrbearauce to exercise an extreme right-no in
suit, for none was Intended that our falling.
II any, leaned to virtue s side, and was q relax
alton OF the iron rigor of war from motives of
humanity and ChrStisn courtesy that on the
other hand, England had done to US a great
wrong in ayailing herself OF our moment of
weakness to make demand, which, accomda-
med as 1t was by the p0mp and circumstances
OF war, was insolent in spirit and thoroughly
UNJUST. Ii was, indeed, courteous in language,
but 1t was the courtesy of JOab to Amassas as
he sm0te him in the fifth rib" Art thou in
health, my brother That message Of Rus
sell to Lyons, which could cross the Atlantic
had not projectilc force enough to have passed
from Dover TO Calais Nothing ia gained for
the cause Of neutral rights. The lesson taught
by this case is, that not only every mail steam
er Of neutral may be seized aud searched for
contraband oi war, but that her cargo may and
must b, broken up, aad thu vessel brought in
for adjudication, Under these circumstances
neutral commerc may well pray, Save me
irom my friends Bat will England feel her
sell bound by the precedent, such as it is Yes,
just 50 long as it 10 convenient and not mo-
ment longer. Her standard Of right has been,
is, and will be, the interests OF England There
is nothing in the law Of nations tnat will stand
IN the way Of her imperious will But tho loss
will ultimately he hers. She is treasuring up
for herself wrath against th9 day of wrath
She has excited in the hearts of the American
people deep and bitter sense of wrong, of IN
jury inflicted Al moment when it cannot retail
late. 1t is now right with u.s. but through the
watches of this night we shall be girding our
selves to strike the blow Of righteous retribu-
ton.

From Port Royal.

From various sources we get neHs that our
forces at Port Royal are active and making some
progress. We have just got information Of the
approach Of our troops towards Charleston
The Richmond papers also seem to have bad
their version Of thi5 intelligence, which is as
follows
"Fightng on the coast commenced yesterday.
Thirty five hundred Of the enemy landed on tie
main near Port Royal ferry. They were met
with the bayonet by two regiments Of our troops.
The Yankees fled precpitateiy, throwing away
their arms as they ran. They were driven into
their boats The howtzers on their boats open
ed fire on our troops, killing six and wounding
twelve South Carolmiaus The enemy's loss is
about the same,
To-day the enemy landed in much greater
force, at the same place G,atrd Grcgg's Lri-
gadc fcH baef q short Instance to nm ciigblc posi-
Hou The plckets were skruishing all day
The enemy design an attack on the railroad
and cannot avoid battle
The rebels 3" fell bacl, " which is something Of
defeat for them to confess BY later news
from rebel sources, our troops were in possession
OF point on the Charleston and Savannah rail
road, which is certainly very important il con-
frmod Whatever may be the details Of this
advance when we got it in fall, it is certainly
indicative OF notion which On the soil OF South
Carolina can but damage the rebels while it is
IN the right direction. This advance will DO
more difficult now than six weeks ago, but it is
plainly not impossible, and we shal! be glad to
hear more Of 1t.
Something has been done also in the way Of
getting cotton. The amount brought by the
Vanderbilt, at present prices must be worth
halt million Of dollars, which will pay the
expenses Of the war for few hours and relieve
the treasury a htlle--a sort Of lunch before
dinner. Il also shows what stupid fools the
Generals were who suffered the rebels to return
to their deserted plantations and burn the SO, :
100000 worth Of cotton which was destroyed %
week OF more after our troops landed. But tho
past is not Of much consequence except for in
struction and warning. The future, however
is all before US, and wo shall all Judge most
merciully the man who hereafter strikes the
most cisye blows for his country.

sKIRMISHES WITH GUERILLAS ON THE
RAPPAHANhOCK
ONE MAN KILLED-sEVEN WOUNDED.


The gunboet Resolute, Acting Master Tole,
arrived this morning, bringing the body Of
Michael Ryan, who was killed on tee 2lst, near
the mouth OF the Rappahannock. From one Of
the officers we have the following particulars:
On last Tuesday week, 2lst inst, Master Tole,
with boats crew from the Resolute, proceeded
up Sturgeon creek about three miles, to cut out
two vessels which they had been informed were
up the creek, and, reaching the place cut out one
OF them, and were towing 1t down, when Il ran
aground. They set about getting 1t OF, when
they were fred into by gang Of guerillas, In
ambush, on shore. The FIRE was Immediately
returned, and was kept up for some time, but
with what effect 10 not known, az they could not
be seen. Finding It imPorsibIe to get the sloop
OF, the party returned to the ResoIute. The fol-
lowing persons IN the boat were wounded Peter
Nelson, In the hand; r. Kane, In side, thigh and
arm John Mcdonald, In left hand and arm and
Jackson, citizen Of Virgins, who was acting as
pilot, In the forehead.
On Thursday last another expedition was
formed, and Master Joclyn Of the Reliance, Mas
ter role and masters mate I. Newton, with
boats crew from the two vessels, went again up
the creek and set fire TO the schooner and hiding
the sloop still aground they fred her also. As
they Were pulling away, the guerillas fred into
them from an ambush on shore. The men i'm
mediately returned the fire with rifles, and work
Ing the boat In position, brought the bowitzer to
bear with grape and riAed shot, and It is proba-
bic with effect, as the firing from the shore soon
ceased. In cur boat Michael Ryan Of the Re,o-
lutte was killed, Thomas Newton, masters mate,
wounded In the foot, Andrew spicenger, Of the
Reliance in the thigh, and Frank Miller Of the
Reliance In the night arm. The boat then re.
armed firing into every suspicious LEGALITY on the
way, in order to guard against surprise, and re-
turned to the ship.
As the boat was pulling away from the scene
OF the action, the rebels were seen running in the
field and along the beach, having with them q
number OF women and chllaren, using them
apparrntly as screens, to prevent our men from
firing on them.
