A LIE.-We find a Secession account of
Marshalrs run from Garfield at Middle
Creek, which is so deserving of remem-
brance that we give the concluding portions
of it. 1t will occasion loud laugh VIII en-
it reaches the Sandy Valley:
Much might be said of individual acts Of
bravery, but time will not permit. All did
their duty. Most of our troops had never
before seen battlefield, yet they fought
with courage and boldness which character
ICES the people which they represent. With
a united effort they completely whipped n
foe numerically five times stronger than
themselves.
Colonel A. c. Moore's Goth Virginia regi-
ment bore the heat ofthe day. He was un.
der the most terrific fire for more than four
consecutive hours, yet his ranks never
staggered. Our Colonels, Moore and Leigh,
were constantly at the head of their col
umn, cheering their men and directing
their fire.
The gloomiest part of the day was after
the enemy had left the field. The shrieks
Of the wounded and dying were truly heart
rending.
Our loss is five killed and four wounded
in Col. MoOre's regiment, and four killed
and five wounded in Colonel Williams regi-
ment. The enemy's is from four hundred
to five hundred killed, and about the same
number wounded.
All the comment we have to make on the
above is, that it is a bigger lie than Humph-
rey Marshalls belly,-FrGnkfort Common
WeaEM.

37th COngress---Flrst Session.
wAsurreroN. FsbruArr IL.


SENATE.-A message was received from
the House, saying that il disagreed with the
Senate's amendments to the Civil and MILF
tary Appropriation Bill.
The Tressury-note Bill was taken up. The
question on Mr.. Fessenden's amendment to
make the bonds redeemable after FIVE years,
at the pleasure of the United States, which
amendment was withdrawn.
Mr., Oollamer, OF Vermont moved to strife
out that portion Of the bill which makes the
notes legal tender for private debts.
Mr.. Wilson, OF Massachusetts, was opposed
to the amendment, and if adopted, he should
vote against the bill. He considered that IL
would be wickedly unjust to place all this
money 10 the hands of soldiers and employts
of the Government, forcing them 70 take il
and then not to protect it after it was in
their hands.
Mr.. Colsmer modified his amendment 40
as to strike out all that portion of the bill
which makes the notes legal tender for
debts of the United States, or any kind of
debts, including the amendment Of the Com
mittee, providing that all the interest be
paid in coin.
Mr.. Sherman believed that there was a
necessity for making these notes a legal
tender. Every organ # financial opinion in
the country agrees that it is indispensable.
We have 10 pay, before the lst day of July.
$303 235, 000 and of this sum 800, 0OO, 900 is
now due this day. How are we going to
get this smount2 That is a question hardly
necessary. We can not pay our debts in
coin, for there is not enough of il ia circula.
tion since the banks suspended. The banks
can not let us have any mole money, for We
have already taken more than their capital
in bonds. Capitalists can not buy the bonds
of the Government, for they can not get the
coin to do so, which ia the only thing the
Government can receive. If the bonds of
the Government were now thrown on the
market of the world they would deprecate
to sixty cents on the dollar, according to the
opinion of financiers, because there is no
money TO pay the bonds; then how are we
going TO pay the soldiers and the contrac-
tors, who feed the armies2 There is no
olher way than to give them notes, which is
as near money as possible.
After further discussion, Mr.. Simmons
offered al amendment, to allow the notes to
be funded in two years bonds, bearing 10
per cent. interest. Adopted.
The bill as amended then passed: yeas 80,
nays Z. Adjourned.

Tho Lien from Abroad

The dispatch from the steamer america, at
Cape Race yesterday, announced tn u rumOrs
pTevsi eG in London TO the effect that Louis
Napoleon was about to break our biockade
of the Southern ports; but The ink which
recorded ibis report was Scarcely dry before
We bad another by the Jurd, five days later,
which said that in the Emperors speech to
the Chambers he avowed his determination
not to interfere in our affairs, so long as we
observed sIicty the rights Of neutrals. Thas
the Iumors reported by the America prove
to be unfOunded, if, indeed, they were ever
circulated at all in England, of which we
have our doubts. But whether circulated or
not, why are they transmitted by The tee-
graph, which should confiue itself TO facts
aloue2
We think we can give an explanation. A
gentleman of our acquaintance, who left
Liverpool not long since by one of the Eng
lish steamers, was detained by his business
at the Liverpool Exchange up 10 the very
hour for the departure of the steamer. He
had scarcely time to get on board, but the re

Soul hern Confederacy, and that the report

Oar friend, who had just quit the place

The person to whom we allude says tha.
Reuters Telegraph has been most from the
beginning ia the interest of the Secessi0nists;
aud that while it constantly modlies and
perverts the reports from America, it is no
less constantly sending to America such silly
inventions as that of yesterday.-NeW FORK

ANOTHER PRoBABLE HUMBUG.-They are

TAKING THE OATH PIoUsLY-In the list OF
those who have lied their oath of allegiance
with the Provost Marshal General of st

Third Baptist Church of that city, appears.
The Reverend gentleman indorsed the back
of the document with the following:
"Put them in mind to be subject to prln
CAPABILITIES and powers; to obey magistrates
to be ready to do every good work."-Pdul
to Titus, chapter viii, l.
"Submit yourselves to every ordinance

SPLENDID HoRsEMANsIuP.-Ala late London
paper relates the following instance of fine
horsemanship displayed at review held at
Vienna upon the occasion ofthe fiftieth an
niversary of the establishment Of the mill
tary order of the Maria Theresa, when some
thirty thousand cavalry were in line:
A little child, in the front row of the
spectators, becoming frightened, rushed for
ward just as squadron Of hussars were
charging at full tilt--swooping down with
raddening velocity, nay, almost on the
child. Terror paralyzed alike the specta-
tors and the mother of the chill, while the
lovely and aimable Empress almost tainted
with horror, for the child's destruction
seemed inevitable. The little one was al
most under the horses feet-another instant
would have sealed its doom-wheu a hus.
sar, without lessening his sspeed or loosen
ing his hold, threw himself along his horses
neck, and seizing the child, placed it in
safety in front Of his saddle without 30
much as changing the pace or breaking the
alignment in the least. A hundred thousand
voices hailed with pride and joy at the deed,
while but two voices could but sob their
gTatitude-the one q mothers, the other
that Of her sympathizing and beloved EN-
press. A proud moment that must have
been for the hussar, when his Emperor. TAX
ing the enameled cross of merit, attached
it to his breast-a proud moment alike for
the sovereign and the man.

Dress AND MERIr.-Girard, the famous
French painter, when very young, was the
bearer of letter of introduction 10 Lanju-
inais, then of the council of Napoleon. The
young painter was shabbily attired, and his
reception was extremely cold but LaDjuinais
discovered in him such striking proofs OF
talent, good sense and amiability, that, on
GiraTd's rising to take leave, he rose too,
and accompanied his visitor to the ante
chamber The change was so striking
that Girard could not avoid an expression
OF surprise. "My young friend said L anju-
