tiers and Carthage were Of enough i'm
portance to be called battles. Other
events Of the week were the meeting
of the legislature of western Virginia
at Wheeling; recruiting OF the Union
forces in Kentucky. following the cleo
ton Of June 30. which proved a Fed
eral victory; the definite assignment Of
General John c. Fremont to the com
mand of the western army; the APP
pearance at the harbor of Cieufuegos
OF the Confederate privatecr Sumter
with eight American vessels she had
captured. having burned another at
sea. and the picking up OF an internal
machine in the Potomac, designed TO
blow up the Union hotilla Of gunboats.
Congress met at high noon on July
f. Twenty-Five states were represent
ed in the senate and twenty-five states
and seven territories in the house.
From Virginia came the two newly
elected senators. John ). Garlic and
William T. Wiley. chosen by the leg
tslature then in session at Wheeling.
Andrew johnson was in the senate
from Tennessee. In. the house were
several representatives from western
virginia and one from Tennessee. The
remainder of the seeded states were
not represented.
A glance at the membership Of this
momentous congress reveals how short
is the memory Of q nation. Most or
the names are now scarcely known or
are recalled only as names. Only q
few of the most conspicuous have re-
NAMED famous TO our day. In the
chair of the senate was Vice President
Hannibal Hamlin, who, although he
held many important positions. is
noted now because he ran with Lin
coin. From Illinois the chair Of the
mighty Douglas was filed temporarily
bv OrvilIe H. Browning. His colleague
was LYMAN Trumbull. Maine was rep
resented by Lot NJ. Morril, and VIII
liam Pitt Fessenden. Massachusetts by
Charles Sumner and Henry Wilson and
Ohio by Benjamin f Wade and John
Sherman. Some Of the other senators
whose names may awaken an echo IN
the memory of the average reader
were James A. Bayard Of Delaware.
James Harlan Of Iowa. Zschariah
Chandler Of Michigan. John p. Hale OF
New Hampshire. Preston King OF New

Lincoln's War Message.
The presidents message was con-
fined almost exclusively TO review of
the events leading up TO the crisis and
to an argument against the right Of
any state TO go out of the Union with
out the consent of the other states.
Following MS lead, the congress de-
voted itself to the one subject of the
war, voting bonds and revenues, vail
dating the presidents past acts, and en-
larging his powers 10 meet the extraor-
binary situation in future. and general
ly providing ways and means to con-
duct the struggle, and defining the ma
tons attitude in regard thereto.
No gTaver problems have faced any
congress in the nations history. The
members met not only in the midst of
perils TO the country. but Of personal
danger TO themselves. Washington
was menaced by a hostile army only
4 few miles distant and was threat
ened with the blowing up OF the capt.
tol and the assassination Of the chief
officials. Finances were at q low ebb.
and industry and commerce were sert.
ousIy crippled. To add to the trou-
bles at home there was a possibility
OF danger from abroad. Several Of the
great nations had already recognized
the south's rights as beligerent. and
the possibility Of foreign Intervention
hung like shadow over WASHINGTON.
There was no faltering in the face OF
these real or threatened perils. A half
billion dollars were promptly voted
and means provided TO borrow this
amount or raise il from the revenues.
Congress seemingly was actuated by
the spirit animating the closing para
graph OF the presidents message:
