Significant. --The visit of Hon. Henry May, of Baltimore, to Richmond, is regarded as significant of "something behind the curtain" by the knowing ones.

ection of the Government. The House met to-day at 12 o'clock. The attendance of members from the Border and Northern States was pretty full. Among the absentees, we noticed John S. Phelps, of Missouri; John J. Crittenden, of Kentucky, and Henry May, of Maryland. At the calling of the roll, the absence of the able statesmen who formerly represented six millions of people in eleven sovereign States of this continent, caused some sorrowful hearts, whose patriotism had not yet been crushsurped, and for which he is liable to impeachment. The people of the border States have staunch friends in H. C. Burnett, of Kentucky, John S. Phelps, of Missouri, C. S. Valiandigham and Geo. H. Pendleton, of Ohio, and, let it be hoped, in Henry May, of Maryland. These gentlemen will stand by the people and their constitutional rights while they have voices to lift in freedom's cause, but they will be overpowered. There is a strong feeling against them among the soldiery and many private

A large barn, 100 feet long by 45 wide, with 7 horses, several wagons, carriages, harness and other property, belonging to the West Castleton railroad and Slate Company, Vermont, was entirely consumed last Saturday morning about 1 o'clock. Loss estimated at $2,000 The barn was insured for $800 The fire is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. A colored boy, 14 years of age, perished in the flames. Hon. Henry May left Baltimore on Tuesday last for Richmond, Va., where he now is — Various rumors are in circulation in relation to his visit. Previous to his starting, he had an interview with President Lincoln, but whether in connection with his visit is not known. It is said to day that he was invited to Richmond by Jeff. Davis, and that he is accompanied by two prominent Pennsylvanians, both friends of the Government.
Potomac some weeks ago, has been successfully raised and brought ashore in a slightly damaged condition. A flag of truce. Washington, July 8. --The latest report from Arlington is that Major Taylor, of New Orleans, arrived at the camp of the 8th New York Regiment this afternoon. under a flag of truce, with dispatches for President Lincoln. He was detained there, awaiting further orders, and was last from Manassas. unction. It may be proper to state that the visit of the Hon. Henry May to Richmond was not superinduced by the Government, and it is at least probable the dispatches brought under the Flagg of truce are from him. Their character has not transpired. Affairs at Martinsburg. Martinsburg, July 5. --There was no alarm last night. I visited that part of the Federal picket guard thrown farthest forward on the Winchester turnpike yesterday evening after it had been evacuated. Away off to the left a number of the cavalry pickets of the enemy were vi

This order was modified on the 2d of July, so that the above authority should extend on the military line between New York and Washington. The third case was under the proclamation of the President, and made martial law operative in Florida over Key West, Tortugas and Santa Rosa. As an erroneous impression may be produced by the President's name having been mentioned in the House to-day in connection with Hon. Henry May's recent visit to Richmond, there is authority for stating that he went thither on no mission for the General Government, nor was he entrusted with any business whatever on its behalf. On the contrary, he obtained a carefully prepared pass from or through Gen. Scott, to enable him to go into the interior of Virginia on his own private business, thus having extended to him the courtesy due to a member of Congress. The Secretary of State has made a reclamation on the Spanish Governme
Mr. Cox, of Ohio, moved as an amendment that Mr. May be notified of the passage of the resolution Clark, of Mo., expelled on Saturday. Neither Mr. May nor Mr. Clark had taken their seats here, norde through the newspapers, and, in justice to Mr. May himself, the charge should be investigated. Illinois, denied entirely the assertion that Mr. May's visit was undertaken under the authority ofllinois, had ample reasons for believing that Mr. May did receive a special passport to visit, but aid that he had this morning been informed by Dr. May that his brother was now detained by illness on. Mr. Vallandigham repeated again that Mr. May went to Richmond on a political mission, withond. Mr. Calvert, of Maryland, said that Mr. May did go to Richmond under the authority of thesdiction of this House, but as the friends of Mr. May boldly asserted that that gentleman had underst served by delaying the investigation until Mr. May's recovery, and he renewed his motion to lay [8 more...]

Washington Gossip. --A Washington dispatch (July 19) to the Cincinnati Commercial, (Black Republican,) says: The proceedings in the House were very interesting to-day. The committee on the case of Henry May, of Baltimore, reported that there was no evidence against him, and May rose to a personal explanation. The House indulged him, but he proceeded to attack the Government. There was deep excitement, and he was compelled to proceed by order, by a vote of the House. Ex-Gov. Thomas, of Maryland, replied most eloquently to his attack, defending the Government. There was great excitement throughout the debate, which lasted three hours. May, Burnett and Vallandigham consulted throughout the debate. Ancona, of Pennsylvania, to-day, joined the ranks of Northern traitors, and tried very unbecomingly to prevent Gov. Thomas, of Md., from replying to May. A bitter feeling against him exists among the Pennsylvania members. The city was intensely excited yesterday and to

The lower common of Maryland are ammunitions for secession, while the on Pennsylvania, have Lincoln affiliations. Sickle's Brigade has invaded the Southern part of the State, searching and plundering horses, harassing unoffending citizens, stealing negroes, and performing all the acts of diabolism for which the Yankees are noted. The members of the Maryland Legislature who were recently arrested by order of the Federal Government, are now confined at Fortress Monroe, together with the Hon. Henry May and other "political prisoners." Col. Zar Thomas are so far from having escaped from Fort McHenry, has been transferred to Fort Elizabeth. Business in Baltimore is surely tial, and if the war continues for a long period, the city will pre some of commercial rule, from which it will not recover for years.
