His statement will have the value of the teathnony of an eye-witness, and will be Istened to by both sides of the Chamber, INTHE LAST DAYS of August, 1862, Maj.-Gen. Pope, commani- ing the Army of Virginin, had massed his forces on the line of the Rappahannock, having been partlally relufarced by the Army of the Potomac, ils infantry and artillery were estimated at 51,500, but the army which had held the ine of the rlver for nine days preceding Aug. 27 wero worn out by con- stant skirmishing. Melntzelman’s and Fitz John. Porter's corps, : comprising 18,000 men, were comparatively fresh, but short of wagons and artillery; and, although there were supposed to be 4,000 cavalry, Gen. Pope could muster for duty, only 600 effective horses. Jackson inoved on the 20th through "Mioroughfare Gap, and that evening cut the Ornnge & Alexandria Rallroad at Kettle Run, about six inties west of Mannssns, thus inter- rupting Pope’s communication with Wash- ington. On the next morning some fighting was had, and Jackson fell back in the direction of Centreville, Thonce he was fol- lowed by Reno, Kearney, and Hooker, white McDowell struck for Centreville direct, and Porter was nt tho same tine directed to move forward to Muannssag Junction, Kearney druve Jackson out of Centreville in the direc- tlon of Thoroughfare Gap, where King’s diviston, forming the advance of McDowell's commuand, Intercepted the onemy, and asharp but Indedistve combat ensued. te seemed ng if Jackson were effectually cornered, and at daylight on. the 20th.- the second brt- tle of Bull Run began, Ietntzelman, Reno, and Sigel drove Jackson back suveral miles, and about noon. he took up a new po- sition near Ludicy Syring. Urgent orders were sent at noon to MeDowell und Porter to advance on tho left and turn the Rebel flank. MeDowell’s troops arrived on tho field at sunset, but menntine Rebeb rein- forcements had been brought up, wille Fitz John Porter Iny idle at Manassas Junction, WITHIN BIGHT AND BEARING . of tho battle, and made no effort to check Longstreet’s advance, and while Pope's wearled troops were destitute of food which hig utinost entreaties could not prevail on enylons officers to push forward to him, At roven victorious on the right, but Longstreet held his own on the left Mines and the battle wos. a drawn one. ‘The Unton losses were fully 8,000 man ; those of the Confederates probably: greater, ‘The battle waa renewed with vigur at noon of the 30th, and, after a tremendous day's fighting, Pope fell back ta Centreville, whore he concentrated his forces, hig retreat not having been interfered with, 1t was under those circumstances that Gen, Pope, on the morning of Sept. 1, addressed THE FOLLOWING LETTER TO THE GENERATS IN-CHIEF?

Tho proposed act In its con- -eluding section reads: ““'Ihat See, 4,710 of the Revised Statutes Is hereby repealed.” THAT SECTION . reads: ‘No money on account of pension shall bo pals to any person, or to the wilow, children, or heirs of any deceased person who In any inanner voluntarily engaged hy or ald- ed and ubotted the late Rebellion against tho authority of the United States.” As the repeal of, this’ cluutse would pormlt Jet Davis to become a punatoner of tho United States, under the proposed act, Senator Zach Chand- Jer nnd other stalwart Republienns opposul it, and the Senators of Massachusetts were complimented by the Republican press of thelr State, and -by the loyal portion of their constitiisats, for the position which they ook, PERSONAL EXPLANATION.

He said thatat the session of the Iouse, last night, Warner, of Ohio, had used language which Nad called forth a reply fram him (Iazleton). In tho Record, this morning, Warner's speech was garbled, all that part which called out his (Mtr. Uazleton's) remarks being omitted, so that the remarks gra scemlngly without provocation. ‘Che words used were “hospital pimps,” applied foacertain class of pensioners. ‘Ihis trick of expunging portions of a speech, Iuzieton said, wis an old ono with the gentleman from Oltlo, and ever sinea his entry into Congress his trall might be followed by these mu- tilnted speeches. Hazleton asked to have read from the reporter’s notes the langinge of Mr. Warner, and then iis own reply, This done, he added that now he hoped the exact provocation for Ils speech would go forth to. the country, and his constituents would know whatthoy were read lug, ‘There was great Jaughter at Warner's expense. ‘That gentleman attempted to de fend himself by tho statement that the oly jectionable words were used In the bent of tlebate.. ‘They were not applied to bona-file pensioners, but to those whu were to be found in every military command, HE CERTAINLY DID NOT APPLY IT to the gentleman from Wisconsin, who, if Ms Informntion was correct, had stall too near the Canada border to be In danger from Rebel bullets. ‘Shia thrust was greatly en- joyed by Warner's friends, aud for the mo- iment te battle seemed te be turning azninst: Hazleton, but with remarkable readiness and great skill In repartey Hazleton retorted that Gen, Warner hat gone into the War early, and hind retired early on a pension, and then, raising his volee to Its clearest tones, Hinzleton shouted, “And tio wound for which this pension ts paid the gallant Gen- eral carries In his back.” Warner turned. livid with rage, while the House and galleries were convulsed with applause that lusted. several moments, Warner attempted to rev py. but he was too angry, He said that Juzleton’s statements ag to his motives were false, emphasizing the expresslon by _strik- Ing his cans on the floor, ~~ Unzle- ton said hos should hold Ge Warner personally responsible, and then paused aimoment, There was a sensation, and inembers crowded to the front to witness theend of this remarkable passage, when Tlazleton, with an Insinuating smite, con- eluded his sentences But not with daggers, or pistols nnd cote.” Warner closed the Ineldent by making @ feeling allusion to his honorable service, his wount, and his sut- ferlug; but the House wrs inno humor for pathos, anda call for the reeular order tere junated one of the splelest Mousa scenes of thy session, —— COMMITTEH WORK.
