Shields Visit of Gen. Scott to Washington, tc. Upon the strength of the personal influence of Senator Doolittle, of Wisconsin, who acts under instructions of the Legislature of his State, the Senate this morning passed, in one minute's time, no less a bill than one to authorize the construction of the Northern Pacific railway. Should it pass the House, then we shall have another grand absorbent of public lands; for, as far as the latter are valuable on the line of any proposed road or its branches, we may be assured that some sort of a railroad will be constructed. It is understood at the Land Oflice that for a thousand miles or so across the continent all the good lands in the neighborhood of main trunk roads will be absorbed by them.

So also will like lands be largely monopolized by the several branches of the Pacific railway which radiate from the ICOih parallel towards the Mississippi river. It is true that alternate sections are nominally open to settlers, under the homestead act, but as allowance or indemnity is made in good lands to 2 1 rxn 4 Jn linn fa A tt-flHa Cvrawin am erate, although more is doing in the various domestic manufactures in some sections. This is especially true of the boot and shoe trade, in which a good degree of animation prevails. Domestic cotton goods are firm, and the limited stocks of the popular styles are held for higher prices, influenced by the high price of cotton and the demand for goods."

He gave a bond in I large amount, at the instance of his friends, and remained inthe city. In reply to a question as to Dr. Thornburg, he said he had co-operated with him as an old Clay whig. Thornburg was a Union man, and organized a company of cavalry to escape intc Kentucky and join the Federal army. But he was captured and held prisoner at Cumberland Gap by Confederate troops, and marched back on foot with his horse following after him the finest cavalry horse in the State marched into court between files of soldiers, and Judge Humphreys made a bitter, vindictive, political stump speech from the bench, declaring there were plenty of troops there to sustain one judge.

Suppose he did this because there was a talk of Union men rising. This was either in September or October, 1-01. The judge said he was undecided whether the offense came within his jurisdiction or not, and the prisoner was confined in Zollicoffer's camp. The judge appointed a commissioner to hold court in his absence, and the court sat all the time, except when the commissioner was beastly druuk a fair representation of the Southern Confederacy. Witness was arrested on the afternoon of December 6th, by warrant from Commissioner Reynolds.

The charge made against him was treason against the Confederate government based upon some editorials written by witness, which were mentioned. Witness' friends offered to make up a bond for him of one hundred thousand dollars for his appearance at the next court. The commissioner replied that it was not a bailable case. He was in prison from the sixth December to Ihe third of March; was discharged from prison by Mr. Benjamin, purporting to be Secretary of War ol the Confederate government.

The order was read in open court, saying that the honor of the Confederate government was pledged to his release. The officer then stated to witness that he was released from the civil suit. But he was only free from Judge Humphreys for-three minutes, when he was rearrested by a man named Carroll, a captain, under military authority of the Confederate government. The letter from Benjamin was addressed to a man named Ramsey, who was Confederate attorney for the whole State, who had been attorney under James Buchanan for fouryears. He had on a military uniform when he brought the letter.

He attempted to raise a military company, and had about thirty men, but used to draw rations for sixty men. He was afterwards drummed out of service by Gen. Zollicoffer as a rascal. That, in my udgment, qualified- him still more eminently to serve the Confederate government. When witness was in prison, at one time, an officer came and said to him, "this is not the place for you you oughtn't to be here" and wanted witness to take ths oath to the Confederate government.

Witness replied that see him, the whole pretended Confederacy, and himself on top of it, in the infernal regions before he'd do it. There was no such government as the Southern Confederacy it had never been acknowledged by any civilized nation, and such an infamous concern never would be. They did not bother witness any more about taking the oath. They removed witness to another prison, because, as he supposed, he exerted too much influence on the other Union prisoners, and this lessened the enlistments from among the prisoners into their army. Mr.

Lytton was recalled, and testified to the sequestration by the Confederate Court of certain stocks of Judge Catron. Witness did -not know anything in regard to the judge's other property. Mr. Bingham, on the part of the managers, then stated that they did not deem it necessary to present any further testimony and should ask in the name of all the people of the United States for the impeachment of said Humphreys. The first article having been read, charging advocacy of revolt and rebellion in a public meeting at Nashville on the 29th December, 1561.

and the right to pass an ordinance of secession, Mr. Saulsbury, of said he should vote for the impeachment of Judge Humphreys solely on the ground that while holding the commission of United States judge he had assumed to act ss judge of another power, another authority inimical to the government of the United States. He should commit himself to no fact, sentiment or principle beyond this.

j4-tfS JOHN MARTIN CO BALTIMORE, FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 1963. Reported for the Baltimore Sail. Congress First Session. "WASHursTOir, Jane 26. SENATE.

Nr. Foster, of from the committee on pensions, reported favorably upon the bill for the relief of Mrs. Gen. P. F.

Smith; which wasjccnsidered and passed. The bill to carry into effect the treaty stipulations of the United States with her Britannic Majesty for the suppression of the African slaye trade was passed. On motion of Mr. Harris, of the bill to increase the compensation of surveyors of customs in the northern district of Kew York was taken np and passed. Mr.

loolittle, of called up the bill to grant the proceeds of the sales of certain lands to aid in the construction of the Northern Pacific Railroad. It was considered very briefly and passed. Mr. Wade called up the hill for the admission of "Western Virginia into the Union. Mr.

Sumner said that he was opposed to the proposed clause in the constitution which provided that after 1S63 every child of slave parents should be free it involved the admission of another slave State into the Union. He offered an amendment requiring a provision in the constitution that neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist, except iii punishment for crime. Fending this amendment the hour arrived for convening the COURT OF WPEiCHXEST. The Senatorial Court for the trial of "West II. Humphreys, on the charge of treason, having adjourned to this day, at 12 o'chj-k, the Sergeaut-at-Arms commanded silence, and formally opened the court, the oath having- been administered to the President pro tem.

by the clerk, Mr. Forney. The tabled ana chairs on either hand in front of the dais, for the House managers of the impeachment, and for the accused and his counsel, and the extra seats on the floor for the members of the House, and the settees for the Senators along the north wall of the chamber, had been arranged as formerly when the court sat in this case. The members of the House came in, headed toy their managers, Messrs. Bingham, Pendleton, Dnnlap and Train, and followed by some fifteen or twenty witnesses, the latter taking seats one side of the chamber in a body.

The advertised summons to Judge Humphreys to appear here for trial, as published by order of" the court at its last session, was read, and the sergeant-at-arms, George T. Brown, made proclamation calling upon said Humphreys to come into court. There was, of response. The returns on the subpenas served upon distant witnesses by the sergeant-at-arms and by Marshal Lamon, of the District of Columbia, upon those in Washington, were then presented by Mr. Bingham and read.

Among those called were Hon. Andrew Johnson, Hon. Horace Maynard, Wm. G. Brownlow, Balie Peyton.

Judge Jahn Catron, Perez Horace M. Hanson, Jacob D. Mc-GavittWm. H. Hope, of Washington, John T- C.

Lindsey, Isaac Lytton and several others, mostly of Tennessee. Of Kobert Smith, of and John A. Brown, of Washington it was reported they could not be found. Several other witnesses "were absent Mr. Train, on the part of the managers, said they were now prepared to proceed with the xestimony.cd he would briefly analyze the articles of impeachment, and present an argument on the facts.

The charges against Judge Humphreys were naturally classed as of two characters neglect to discharge his duties as a United States Judge, and assuming to act as udge of a court of the so-called Confederate States. In he had refasedto hold court according to the law. Having cited the statute, they ask that he be convicted of the charge. Proceeding to the other charges, Mr. Train held that Judge H.

was shown not to have been one of those who yielded reluctant adherence to the Confederate government, but had been instrumental to set it up. inducing and compelling others to the same course. He remarked seriatim upon the seven different articles of impeachment in this conntction. Mr. Bingham then offered in evidence the nomination by President Pierce of West H.

Humphreys as judge of the United States coutts in "Tennessee, and the proceedings of the Senate in confirmation of said nomination. He also offered in evidence the commission of said iucfse. dated 26th March, 1553. In support of the 3d article of impeachment, for organizirg armed rebellion and levying war aeainst the United States, a record was pres -nted of evidence of such acts at different dates. Kr.

Bingham then proceeded to call witnesses and examine them. Jacob 1). MeGavitt, of the city of Nash-ville, was the first witness who was sworn. He testified that he was clerk of the U. S.

Circuit and District Courts until the establishment of the Confederate court. Was appointed by Judge Catron clerk of the District Court of Middle Tennessee. He retained the records of the court until the return of Judge Catron, when he handed them over. Another court was established, called the District Court of the Confederate States for the division of Middle Tennessee. Judge West H.

Humphreys acted as judge in that couTt, and was the same who acted in the "United States courts previously. The seal of the Circuit Court remained there, and that of the District was altered so a3 to make it the seal of the Confederate court. Judge Humphreys appointed him clerk of the District Court of the Confederate States in Mr.y June, 1561. Was sworn into that office, Judge H. directing him to take the oath.

The oath in substance was to support the constitution of the Confederate States. The records of the Confederate Court were taken away the day after the fall of Fort Donelson, by a man named Corcoran, the receiver. Some our days after, he received a note from Judge Humphreys (which was produced) ordering Ixim to carry the record-bcok to Murfresburg, vrhich he thinks then was in the occupation cf Confederate troops. He does not know what became of Jndee H. about that time.

The judge lived at Murfresburg. Don't known whether he or his children were there at that time. The record-book was here produced. Rome of the ec tries were in his own handwriting, and others in that of his deputy. Alteration on the record, entering up judgments for the use of the Confederate States of America, were so entered up by Judge Humphreys.

These were non-resident suits, fifty or sixty in number. Several of the saits were for large sums of money. There was no term of the District Court of the United States held since 1651, and then the court only met and adjourned. There were tome suits instituted against alien enemies orabsentees. Isaac Lrtton was sworn.

Was the deputy clerk of the Confederate court, and appointed by Mr. MeGavitt, and sworn in before Jndge Haaiphrey. to support the constitution and laws of the Confederate Shanes. There was a anmber of civil cases on the trial docket, which were transferred to the use of the Confederate Stites. This was done ia compliance with the sequestration act of the Confederate States.

In reply to a question from Kr. Bineham the witness said the act "applied to all alier.s. Mr. of objected to the form cf Mr. Salisbury, of suggested if they were to proceed in this war, the trial would le in definitely lengthened." If the managers on tie part the House showd that Judge li.

La4 held the commision of United States and then acted as Confederate adge, it was ail-etifiicient for his impeachment. Kr. Trr.mboli rrse to a question of order, and tie President pro tem. decided that col-laterai qtestiots most be decided without diccftion, aid by yeas and nays. The testimony of Mr.

Lyttca con tinned. Procesiesof a criminal character lor disloyalty to the Confederate States were issued by Jndge Humphreys, who held that it was treason to the Confederate States to acknowledge allegiance to the United States. Some who were arrested took the oath of allegiance to the Confederacy, and some enlisted in its armies ome gave bonds. Any who refused to do either of these were imprisoned. There were to executions as far as bis knowledge extended, on orders in any ol theieCBEcs.

He had not sen Jndge Hn m-phreys ia Nashville since the battle of Fort Donelson. John Q. Smith was sworn. Is lawver, and resident of Nashville. Testified to the passage of the ordinance of secession by the legislature of Tennessee, since which there had been no United States Court held.

In xepty to a question aa to whether Judge H. had done anything prior to that time ia aid of rebellion, the witness stated that on the iitfth December, 1660, there was public meeting to discuss the condition of the country, and Judge H. there advocated secession. Hon. Jlr.

Foote, of Mississippi, was there, and asked Judge H. how he could reconcile his course with his oath of office as a United States judge? His reply was general, but he -went on to argue the right of secession, and the duty of the people of Tennessee to exercise that right under the circumstances by -which they were surrounded. He had done the same thing in private conversations with witness before the action of the legislature on the subject. O-Scobell Is a citizen of the United States. Knows West H.

Humphreys. "Was arrested in Tennessee on the charge of giving aid and comfort to citizens of the United States, in declaring that the stars s.nd stripes would float over the capital of TTennesse and all the Southern States in sixty or ninety days. He was taken before Humphreys, who pronounced him a dangerous mas, though not an alien enemy, and le would told him in $10,000 bonds, which 3iegave. Witness told the judge subsequently that a prominent lawyer in Nashville bad to him that he (the witness) had not paid more than he had a hundred times. This seemed to anger the judge and he said if he (witness! would tell him (the judge) who the lawyer was he would hare him art -rested.

Pnii.AEi.PHiAJune 26. Last evening about four hundred Confederate prisoners arrived i this city from Harris-burg, under a guard from Col. Patterson's regiment. The men belonged chiefly to Virginia and Mississippi regiments, and were captured by a portion of Shields' division while returning to Winchester after the retreat of Banks. A number of the prisoners said that they had been treated well since their capture, but not better than the Federal prisoners are in the South.

"We had prisoners of yours in Winchester, and all persons who desired to see them were permitted to do so." One of the men who was jeered about the treatment of prisoners at the South replied, scornfully, "Oh, yes; that's like your stories about making drinking cups out of skulls and ornaments out of bones. You know them to be false yourself." The prisoners claimed that the Confederates were men, as were the Unionists, and would act towards their fel low-creatures fully as well. They had among them but one officer, Major Davis, of the Second Virginia infantry, who had been at the battle of Bull Run, and in all the engagements since fought in the Valley, under Jackson. He is a native of Jefferson county, is very prepossessing and gentlemanly, and about 35 years of age. His coat was of fine, gray cloth, with abundant gold lace on the arms and collar; his pantaloons were of light army blue, and his cap of the same color.

The prisoners were brought here to be taken by setamboat to Fort Delaware, where they are to be confined until exchanged. Toward the latter part of the evening they were taken on board of the Major Reybold and conveyed to Fort Delaware. Under a legislative act of March 2, its supplements, the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company has claimed the exclusive right of the carrying business between the two great cities of New York and Philadelphia. It is said that parties have ventured, however, in a quiet manner, to obtain a charter for a rival road, and to proceed with its construction. The pospects now are that the opposing route will be open for travel in forty days from the present time, and that under a low rate of fare (about $2 between New York and Philadelphia) it will use every exertion to overcome the legal and physical obstacles of the existing lines.

A ong course of litigation will probably ensue. A Glasgow carter was met one day by a neighbor. He was shedding tears. "What's the matter, John!" inquired the Sandy, my mither's dead," sobbed the carter. "Is that a' 1" rejoined the neighbor.

"The total receipts o-day at the Sub-treasury were $068,697 21; total payments 64; leaving a balance on hand in specie and demand notes of $15,214,993 65. The receipts for duties to-day at the custom-house were $282,223 16, all of which were in demand notes." The Boston Traveler, in noting the advanca of the premium for gold, remarks: "The general tendency of gold is still upward, or rather we should say that of paper is still downward. The era of shinplasters, and of a disordered and fluctuating currency, big with evils the extent and duration which no man can foresee, is growing up before us. We do not kdow that any remedy can be applied, but we repeat our monition that business men must watch this sign of the times diligently if they regard their own safety. There are many causes now operating to produce this 6tate of things.

Foreign capitalists, distrustfnl of them, are sending over American securities for sale; foreign merchants are converting property and stocks into cash to avoid taxation, and shipping the proceeds to Europe in gold. There is also a demand for gold by those engaged in buying cotton and sugar at the South, as the planters refuse to sell except for gold." The Milwaukee News of the 22d says: "The scarcity of freights prevents much being done in grain, and lessens the demand for money. Exchange is affected by it also, and. closes firm at selling. Gold is still sought for in small quantities, and sells at banking counters at 7 per cent bought at 5." The Boston Transcript says: 'Buine6 in general continues quite mod mineral (rocky?) lands that fall within the sections allotted to saia roaas, iz may be pretty safely assumed that not much of good lands on the routes aforesaid will be obtained under the provisions of the homestead act.

Practically these settlers or emigrants must resort mainly to the railroad companies for vain able lands, and these, under the law, must be sold for a dollar and a quarter an acre. But it is stated at the Land Oflice that railroad companies of the West have a way of evading the above statute by making over their lands to some person in their interest, who sells them at higher prices, and pays over the proceeds to the company. It is stated that Gen. Shields has tendered his resignation. It was stated yesterday in high official quarters that General Scott had telegraphed hither stating that he should soon be in Washington.

In army circles, as well as among civilians, the announcement has been received with unaffected delight, because it is assumed that the control of the several armies of the republic is to be again vested in an experienced military chieftain.

The Senate grlleries were crowded to-day by persons to witness the Judge Humphreys impeachment ease, and the proceedings were listened to with the most intense interest. Parson Brownlow was present among the witnesses, of whom a large number were present, all Union men of Tennessee. It turns out that the seizure of government goods supposed to be stolen was a series of blunders. Gen. Blenker is out in a card, and says that the Eighth New Ycrk volunteer regiment, as all other regiments of Blenker's division, left the camps at Hunter Chapel with three days' rations, leaviDg behind according to special orders all officers' trunks and property of the men.

These trunks, as well as the private and public property of the men, not being sufficiently secured in the tents, have been stored in this city, the officers' trunks in the house of Mr. Willian, Pennsylvania avenue, the clothing and other property of the men in a storehouse rented for that purpose. It was these goods that were seized by the Provost Marshal, under the supposition that they had been fraudulently obtained and held. The police, for some time past, have been cognizant of the fact that a large number of horses have been stolen from persons in the vicinity of Washington, and from the government, and have been on the watch to entrap the perpetrators. On Sunday detective officer Allen was notified of the arrival in this city ol a drove of horses from Virginia, and where they were stabled.

Yesterday he started in pursuit, accompanied by officer John H. Wise. They succeeded in arresting John Voulk and "Lewis Rodemer, or Ridenour, at the restaurant corner of Seventh street and New York avenue, and recovered thirteen horses in the stable attached. A negro named Wm. Spots, who assisted them, was also arrested.

The prisoners were taken before Justice Tonn, and the principals denied their ownership of the horses. Justice Donn committed ail to jail for a further hearing. Before being carried to jail they were searched, and $2,645, mostly Treasury notes, was taken from them and deposited in hank. They claim to be sutlers of the Garibaldi Guard. One of the horses is branded with the government mark: the others are private property.

Last evening, in pursuance of a call, delegates lrom the different fire companies assembled at the Franklin Engine House for the purpose of devising some measures for reorganizing the fire department. Mr. J. T. Chauncey was called to the chair, and Mr.

Andrew P. McKenna appointed secretary. Mr. Peabody, of the Columbia, offered a draft of a bill to effect the object, to be presented to the city councils, with the request that it be passed. The proposed bill provides that the department shall consist of five delegates (including the president) from each company, and the standing committee of the department shall consist of three each company.

The department shall each year nominate to th different companies a chief and two assistant engineers, and the companies shall elect them. The officers so elected shall be nominated to the councils for confirmation. The corporation shall pay the salaries cf the engineers, as follows- Chief engineer $600, first assistant $400, second assistant $300. The corporation is expected to appropriate annually $500 for each engine company, $300 for each hose company and $350 for each hook and ladder company. The bill provides for the imposing of fines, and sets them apart fer the benefit of the widows and orphans of deceased firemen.

The bill was amended by inserting a clause for an appropriation by the councils of $500 for the benefit of sick and disabled firemen who have contracted their disease or become injured fires. After providing for laying the draft before the different companies for ratification, the convention adjourned to the 15th of Jn'y. The citizens of Wisconsin resident in Washington have organized a society for the purpose of attending to the wants and comforts of the sick and wounded soldiers of that State. The funds are raised by a monthly assessment on the salaries of members of the society, which comprise the government employees from Wisconsin, thirty-five in number.
