Proceedings Of Congress.

In the Senate on Tuesday, on motion Of
Mr.. WILEY, the bill for the admission OF
Western Virginia as State was taken up,
the question being on the amendment OF Mr..
Sumner, that after the fourth ofJuly, 1862,
within the limits of said State of Western
Virginia, there shall be neither slavery nor
involuntary servitude otherwise than for the
punishment of crime, whereof the party
shall be duly convicted.
MIR. Sumner said the bill proposed that
all children born after April, 1868, shall be
free, but allowed the present generation of
slaves to continue slaves, thus admitting am
other slave state, with two Senators, for
whole generation. He (Sumner) could not
consent to the admission of state into the
Union with constitution recognizing sla.
very for whole generation. He quoted
from the speeches Of Webster against the
admission of slave states.
Mr.. Hale said that Webster, in his later
and perhaps wiser years, had repudiated the
idea of system of prospective emancipa-
ton. As be (Hale) did not make this
world, he was willing to take the question
as he found it practically. 1t is not for us
to set ourselves up in dogmatic wisdom
against the convictions Of other men
who may be possibly as wise as we
are. He wanted to deal with this thing
as a practical fact, and he would hail
the advent of a slave state into the
Union, with clause for gradual emancipa.
ton, more gladly and with greater satisfac-
ton than the admission of free State.
Why? Because there is more joy among
the angels over one sinner that repenteth
than over ninety-nine that need no repent
ance.
Mr.. Wilkinson offered the following:
Resolved, That the President inform the
Senate, if not incompatible with the public
interests, whether Chas. C. Fulton, one of the
editors of the Baltimore american newspaper,
has been arrested and confined in prison and
if so, upon what charge, and for what reason,
and whether any charges have been preferred
against him and if so, what are these charg.
es and by whom preferred, ami on what evi.
dence they are based.

What the Soldiers Say.

New York, July 3.-The 1rdb~me's cor.
respondent, after stating that we were out.
numbered by the rebels, INDUCES in the
following remarks:
"When loyal New York regiments,
lifted from their feet by the fire of rebel
brigades, cry out of their wounds for help ;
when the choicest of New England and
Michigan and Pennsylvania troops, out
numbered in front and on both tanks by
whole divisions of the enemy, beg for REIN
forcements-I say the blacklist crime that
power can commit is to stalk upon the field
of peril and say, Soldiers, have no faith
in your commander let your martyrdom
proceed And so says this army of the
Potomac; and it registers tonight vows of
vengeance as it marches in the dark from
position which their diminished numbers
prevented them from holding, but which Is
consecrated to them forever by their suffer-
iDgs, their labors and their wrongs
"The politicians and statesmen who left
US here to be cut off from our supplies, and
doomed men,"

GREAT FIRE AT WINONA

WINoNA, July "A fire broke out in
this city about two o'clock this morning re-.
sulting 10 the complete destruction of four
blocks Of buildings including hotel. Loss
of merchandise and other property to the
amount of near FIVE hundred thousand
dollars.
The fire was first discovered in the rear
of Clsperton's bakery on Centre street. Be-
fore any considerable number of persons had
collected on the ground, the flames had
gained such an ascendancy among the 10.
aamable wooden buildings that all efforts
of the citizens aided by the fire and hook
and ladder companies could not stop their
progress.
The wind was blowing light breeze at
the time from the South, but it soon in
creased, changing its direction to the South.
west, and rapidly spread flames to the build
Jugs Immediately adjoining that in which
the fire was first discovered.
From the block of buildings southeast of
the corner of Second and Main streets, the
fire spread with fearful rapidity to others,
and before the day dawned the principal
business portions of the town lay in ashes.
The loss in merchandise, buildings, grain
and other property, is very great, and upon
many persons it falls heavily.
There is an insurance of probably $780,
900 on the property destroyed.
A number of persons narrowly escaped
with their lives.
The Office of the Dolly Republican was
completely destroyed, the books and &C.
counts only being saved. Loss "a 900 in
sured for $4,000.
The origin OF the fire is unknown, but it
is copjectured that it was caused by smoul-
dering sky-rocket which had fallen upoa
the roof of building, during display OF
fireworks last evening.

The following is an extract from letter
written by soldier in General Tyler's divi-
sion, to his friends in Hartford. 1t is pubs
lisbed in the Couram. The letter was
written on the 26th day Of May, near Han.
over, Virginia, where a bloody battle soon
after took place:
This was the anniversary of our being
sworn into the service, and as l sat by the
fire thought how comfortable l was one
year ago, and how little you at homo knew
what we have endured for your sakes during
that time. You cannot imagine the pain
in my back, chest and limbs, after such
march, and how sick at heart one is apt to
feel after these marches without food, these
seepless nights and wet clothes, the aches
and pains of the soldier; and yet there are
men at home who sit in rooms of luxury and
ease, and write articles asking why do not
our troops 90 here or there, and take this
place or the other, and get the people all
stirred up, so that they think We are the
LATEST fellows in the world, living in the
country and doing them no good. Let these
men for once come out; let them 60 over
the country and have to bear the same
knapsack 1 have carried, and live on the
same rations, and they will 60 home after
one days march, and never again be found
making such excitement. Nothing has
made me more indignant than Immediately
after the evacuation of Yorktswn to hear OF
Senator Wilson's saying in Congress that
be could have taken the place with one
regiment which be recruited but had not the
courage to lead into the field. Such cow-
ards deserve to be driven from the country.

LATER FROM EUROP E.
More Talk of Intervention.

ST.. JOHN, July 1.-THE Europa from
Liverpool 18th, via Queenstown 29th, passed
Cape Race at IL o'clock last Sunday night.
She was boarded by the associated press
news yacht. and summary of her news
obtained.
The advices per the Europa are two days
later than those by the Kangaroo.
The receipt of the Persia's news in Liv.
erpool caused increased excitement in the
cotton market and an advance in prices.
The London Times says in regard to the
war in America, the news shows that moth.
ing much can be expected before fall, and it
hopes means will be devised before that
time to put an end to the conflict.
The French Chambers had adjourned.
There were rumors that the Emperor
Napoleon was reconsidering the principles
of the next Mexican expedition, and that
the embarkation of the French troops was
Professionally suspended.

From New Mexico.
MOVEMENTS OF THE TEXANS.

KANSAS CRY, July 1.-The first coach
with the Santa Fe mail arrived, bringing
dates to to the 22nd. News meagre. 1t is
reported that the Texans had sent Com
missioners to the State of Chihuhua to OBJ
tain permission from Mexican authorities
to pass through that State to Texas. The
permission was not granted. This refusal
on the part of the Mexican authorities will
doubtless delay Texans 10 Arizona longer
than they would otherwise have staid. The
first New Mexican regiment of volunteers
have been entirely reorganized.

Our Foreign Friends.

From New York Times, July 8.
Our check at Richmond will give fresh
stimulus to the talk of Intervention. As soon
as the news of it reaches Europe, we shall
hear that nom England and France will GER
tainly recognize the Southern Confederacy,
and will insist that the war must end.
We are not prepared to deny the possibili-
ty Of their taking some such action. The op.
portunity is tempting. The provocation
seems indeed somewhat strong. The tenor of
our talk has led them to believe that we based
all our hope of crushing the rebellion on the
defeat of the rebel army at Richmond.
Thus far We have failed to accomplish that
result, and they will be very likely to say
they are not bound to give us another trial.
Perhaps they are not,-though they have
taken special pains to have it understood
that if the rebels were defeated, they would
not consider that decisive, although defeat
would annihilate the last of their armies in
the field.
But we trust our Government will lose no
time 10 responding to any intimatiOn of this
kind, from either or both the powers con-
cerned, by a very prompt and peremptory
protest. What shape it should take will of
course depend on tue form of the menace.
But any attempt on their part to impose
force on our manner of dealing with the re.
bellion can only be met by force. Neither
our honor nor our safety as nation will
permit US to treat it in any other way. So
long as their dissatisfaction with our pro-
ceedings finds vent only in diplomatic pro>
tests, we cannot complain. Bot whenever
they assume to coerce US into any specific
policy, on questions of paramount concern
to ourselves and of only secondary and Incl.
dental Importance to them, we have no al.
tentative but to resist.
Whatever sacrifices and sufferings war
may involve, the temper of this country will
not brook the armed interference of any
Power on the face of the earth in our af>
fairs.

"There is no avoiding the fact, how.

Not only did that nomination weak.
en- the Democratic ticket in the Third

from tho start. No man with a grain
