SHALL CONGRESS- BE RR.EN.
ECRCEDt

There are as good men in the present Con
gress as in any that ever met Ability, integ.
rity, aud experience are therein embodied
But there are also medocrity, incapacty, and
knayery. Ii is important that our hext Con.
gress shall not only contain good men but be
is always surfet; but men who unite per-
spcacity with knowledge--who are at once
original thinkers and ripe obseryers--who can
discern at tue first glance wherein q bill is
defective or tax wrongly adjusted, and can
point out the mistake in speech Of five min
utes, stopping when they have said just what
was necessary-aro apt to DO deficient. A
House fall Of such would be worth untold gold
to Nation just settling into the ways of peace
after an e1hausting and desolating civil war.
Let us-we speak to men of all partes-re.
solve that the next House shall be pre-.
eminently strong. Let us overbear the wretched
convention machinery and bring forward the
ablest and best men that are to DO found. Do
not discard good Member because no has
served two years or twenty; but re-elect none
for the sorry reason that he has or has not been
sent already. We ask the best citizens of
either party in each District to look 10 this
matter early-the sooner the better. Consult
and considers confer and compare notes; and
let the very best men be put forth on all sides,
of local bargains and personal as.
piratlons. Such men as conventions are pretty
certain not to nominate ought to be called out
by public requisition, iniluentially signed and
gently constrained, II need be, to servo their
country where they are most needed.

On Saturday morning n negro, mounted on a
horse, dashed furiously up to the Union lines in
Gen. Banks's Department, and insisted upon
being allowed to pass, ON the plea that he had
important information to communicate. All
attempts to stop the excited contraband failing,
he succeeded in forcing his way to Colonel
kenly's quarters, and told him that very large
Rebel force was in his front, marching rapidly
to the attack. The Colonel had just time TO
get his command under arms when the Rebel
host rushed upon him and poured in deadly
fire. Tho timely warning thus given, it is
stated, saved Col. Kenly's regiment, and proba-
by the entire command OF General Banks, from
humiliation. Under the more thorough System
of discipline which prevails in General Hallecks
army, no such breach Of order would be al
lowed. Tho negro in question would have
been driven back suominiously to bis owner

"NEADY, AWE. READY.N

On the 18Th Of April, 1861, the streets Of
New-York were crowded with q thrOng OF
many thousands, some hurying to and fro in
busy preparation, many lettering in eXpecta-
ton Of a coming spectacle, but showing in all
those many thousand faces, OF the young aud
the old, the men and the women, the rich and
the poor, an earHcstncss and enthusiasm too
deep for many words, though tempered very
often with anxiety and sadness not less deep.
The 9TH Regiment stood in marching order
when the news thrilled through the crowd, read
here and there from extras ~ excited groups,
that the streets of Baltimore wero red with
the blood Of Massachusetts, soldiers. Thus, b
year and month ago, as the sons and
brothers and husbands from a thousand New
York bones marched out to the defense of the
capital OF the country, for augbt they knew to

A dispatch has been received from General
Banks at the War Office in which be an
nounces that his whole force has crossed the
Potomac in good order, and that lie now holds
both banks Of tho river. His loss has
been severe, but how large he was IN.
able at the date of the dispatch, to say.
That he made gallant fight, and
a mastery retreat is evident, as he had only
about 1900 men opposed 10 $1,000 or 10000
of the enemy Where they were lie does not
state or whether he apprehended a further
attack. But as ne commands his position, lie
no doubt feels able to repel any attack they
may make upon him.
As TO whether Jackson has been re.en'Jrced
by Johnson, we have no information. i may
be that Jackson, satisfied with bis success in lIs-
lodging Banks, has made no advance or be
may, if he has been REINFORCED, be making
his way into Maryland at some other
point. Nor have VIC any intelligence
from McClelan's army that gives US
any light. There is nothing to show whether
Johnson still maintains his position before
Richmond in full force or not.

FREE WEST.

PepIr.-We think " Free West takes o
very narrow, prejulced view OF great ques-
ton. The old States, in tho passage of the
Free Homestead act, have treated tie West
with a generosity utterly unparalleled. True,
we believe that act embOdies policy OF rn'-
yersal benefcence; but its more immediate
effect will be to people, improve, and enrich
the Great West. We believe il will add mil
lions to the civilized population of the region
West of Chicago within the next twenty
years. Never before was such inducement to
emigration held out--never before was so
bountsous country offered te settlers on
terms so inviting.
Now IL is proposed to make very moderate
concession to the Old States-those which have
10 Public Land aud never had any, or, if
they had, have bought every arabic acre Of it
and paid the Government ten shllngs per
acre. We have not this bill before us, but be.
lieve ali tic lands granted BY it to the Old
States, to be applied by them to the best of
purposes, will not amount to bali the area OF
half an average Western State. This, Free
West" calls a scheme to plumber the new
States of "a great portion of the broad domain
granted to actual settlers" with much more
equally frothy and false. Ii seems that not
oniy generosity but truth is to be restricted
to the East.
1t may be that the Agriculture! bill sppro-
PIRATES too much land-that it ought to be SO
amended as to postpone the selection Of lands
by the States until le6i, 80 rs 10 give the
Western pioneers = chance to select each his
quarter section ahead of any State reservation
or that the Old States should be confined in
their selections to the Territories. Whatever
notifications are requisite to make the bill
just to tho New States as well as to tho Old, We
trust will be made. But when more than One
Thousand Millions of acres of good arabic lands
have just been freely conceded BY the East 10
settle and improve the Great West, it seems
to us mean to talk ~ our correspondent does
of comparatively trivial concession to the
Old States. FED. Tri5.
