f the rebels was killed. Previous reports from Colonel John C. Starkweather, of the First Wisconsin Regiment, stationed at Edward's Ferry, stimulated the action which resulted so successfully. Colonel Starkweather had already made reconnoissances on the Virginia side, destroyed the rendezvous of the rebel pickets, and had but one man wounded, Mr. W. H. Langworthy, of Company E. All the captured are from Loudon County, Va.--(Doc. 164.) In the House of Representatives at Washington, Mr. Calvert, of Maryland, introduced a resolution providing for the appointment of a Committee to consider and report such amendments to the Constitution as may restore confidence and insure the preservation of the Union. Laid on the table.--Mr. May, of Maryland, was refused permission to introduce resolutions providing for the appointment of Commissioners to procure an armistice, and so compromise as to preserve the Union if possible; if not, to provide for the peaceful separation of those States t

In the afternoon the excitement was equally as great as in the morning, but, notwithstanding the crowd was much larger, there were but few fights, and those of but little consequence. The secessionists having been apprized by the events of the morning, of what would result from their appearance in the central portion of the city, were prudent enough to keep out of the way. Those composing the crowd on Baltimore street kept moving up and down the street, from South to Calvert streets. Shortly after five o'clock, Samuel Hindes, Esq., one of the Police Commissioners, mounted a box, near the corner of Calvert and Baltimore streets, and made a spirited address to the crowd, urging these composing it to pay respect to the law by quietly dispersing to their homes. In compliance with his request the crowd dispersed, and quiet reigned once more on the street.

The data, with the exception of the equivalent (old system), fusing-points, and tensile strength, are derived, with few exceptions, from Miller's Chemistry. The conductivity for heat is that given by Calvert and Johnson. The results obtained by Wiedemann and Franz differ widely from these. For electric conductivity, Matheisson's results, which differ from those of Becquerel, are employed. The fusing-points are those given by Professor P. H. Van der Weyde. b.

Saturday, receiving word from General Casey, I rode to Washington in a heavy and continuous rain and went to his headquarters. He instructed me to march my brigade forthwith to the southern part of Maryland, placing troops in Prince George and Calvert counties. For further specific instructions Casey sent me to General Marcy, McClellan's chief of staff. I was told that after my arrival in lower Maryland I must consult with Union men, cooperate with them, and do all in my power to prevent an three days. It gave us a breath of home.

ly is a specimen of his efforts on such occasions:— There is a name that was of great note between one and two hundred years ago, which does not seem to be remembered in this part of our country with sufficient respect. I mean the name of Calvert, Lord Baltimore, the founder of Maryland. He was a worthy son of Ireland, and an ornament of the age in which he lived. He was a Catholic and a statesman. As governor of Maryland, he received with open arms all who came to him suffering from ollowers with the love of it, always acting upon that maxim of political wisdom,— By agreement a colony may rise to greatness; while by dissension an empire must come to nothing. Sir, I offer a sentiment dear to my heart,—Respect to the name of Calvert. He observed with scrupulous exactness the rules of good breeding, and taught them to his children. His thought on this subject was embodied in a sentiment which he gave, in August, 1827, at the customary public-school festival, in Faneuil <

I first took a berth in the Mediator of the 29th March; but Cogswell and Willis and his wife go on the 4th, so for pleasant company's sake I shall go in the same ship. Most of the lawyers are on Circuit. Hayward, however, rejoices more in literature than law; so he is in town. The articles on you in the Law Magazine are by Calvert, a very nice, gentlemanly person. He has another in type on your Bailments. Charles Austin is as brilliant and clever as ever,—all informed, and master of his own profession: take him all in all, the greatest honor of the English Bar. Old Wilkinson I found over black-letter, supported on either side by a regiment of old books of Entries and ancient Reporters, with a well-thumbed Rolle's Abridgment on the table.
