To the cNndOr, ability and legal knowl.

Mr.. Seward holds that in that case the

Contra6auds themselves, being persons, and

man for selling HIM such a cow, demanded
his money back at once. As soon as he

37th Congress- First Session
WARRINGTON. Decemher G.

WASHINGTON, December G.
HOUSE - Mr.. Conkling, rising to a
question of privilege, called attention to
The fact that on the second day of the ses-
sion resolution was adopted with reference
TO the battle of Balls Bluff. The resolution
proposed no investigation into any future
transactions whatever. 1t simply requested
the Secretary of War 10 inform the House
whether any steps have been taken to ascer-
tain who was responsible for the disaster.
The resolution was handed to the Adiu-
tant General, who submitted il to the Com
man nder-in. Chief. He (Conkling) was not
willing to believe that the Comm ander in
Chief had read the resolution, because he
could not impute to him the design to irifle
with the House, and return an evasive an.
swer. If he did read it, he certainly misun-
derstood its purport.
He seemed to have received the impression
that a future inquiry was to be instituted,
and that of a very general character, and
be accordingly expressed an opinion to the
Adiutant-G General, which was reported to
the Secretary of War, and by the latter
transmitted to the House.
The answer to the resolution did not in.
form the House that steps had been made to
show who was to blame for the Balls Bluff
| disaster. The response was evasive. Now
this was disregard of the privileges of the
House, which ought to receive and require a
prompt notice, unless we consent to a
trampling on our rights.
| 4. We should watch with a jealous eye the
right of wholesome inquiry. The inquiry
related to a great national calamity and to
| the most atrocious military murder ever
committed in our history, and the mos,
humiliating triumph of the rebellion.
A blunder so gross that every man can see
it, and no one has ever dared to deny or de
fend it. Besides the defeat and the large
loss of arms and munitions of war, there wa
a sacrifice of nine hundred and thirty men.
The resolution to which he Mr.. Conkling
referred, was proposed out of respect to th
memory of those men, and in Difference Il
the public propriety and self-respect to tn,
nation. 1t was to inquire whether the mil
itary authorities have taken any steps what
ever to ascertain who is responsible for th
slaughter of the sons of New York, Mas5a
chusetts and Pennsylvania.
General Stone, who wasl at the time Il
command, is a member of the regular army
Colonel Baker was q volunteer. The re
spectve friends of these gentlemen hav
raised question as to the mevits Of the cas-
involving the inefficiency of regulars an
volunteers. He (Conkliugj had no tolera
ton for such controversy.
An inquiry was absolutely necessary. Th
man that is to blame should All upon hi
knees and ask pardon. 1t Colonel Bake
was responsible, most lamentably has he SUI
fered.
If General Stone is responsible, create
weight of guilt never rested upon any ethe
man than upon him.

MARROW ESCAPE OF CIEoINNATIAN.-We
learn by journal published at Pepin, Wis
consin, that H. D. Kellogg, Esq, formerly of
this city, narrowly escaped drowning, under
the following circumstances He was on his
way to Lake City, crossing the lake, it being
frozen over, accompanied by two other men.
When they had arrived within few rods of
the Minnesota shore, the ice suddenly gave
way under his horses, and they dropped into
the water, which was about fourteen feet
deep, jerking the carriage after them, and
turning the men out into the water. Mr..
kellogg was struck by one of the struggling
horses, and sank, while the other men sue.
Kellogg rose, they succeeded in reacuinQ
him from his perilous condition.
