The Intelligencer, to-day, devotes its space Principally to the proceedings of Congress, publishing at length the speech of Mr. Adams, of Miss., in the Senate, urging an extension of the term of naturalization. The Union, in the course of an interesting article descriptive of yesterday's proceedings in the House, says : ‘‘ From the time Mr. Sumner suffered him- self to be conveyed to his lodgings to the closing speech of Mr. Campbeil, of Ohio, there have been reckless, determined, and persistent attempts made to convert a purely private quarrel into an important adjunct to systematized political agitation Ninety-nine out of every hundred readers of the Biack Republican journals firmly believe that Mr Charles Sumner was stricken down in his seat in the Senate chamber because of his heroic championship of freedom in Kansas. Quite an equal number are of the opinion that he was beaten nearly to death with » heavy bludgeon, and that if he should ultimately recover from his wounds, it will be with a shattered frame and disordered intellect We do not hazard much in saying that not more than one out of every hundred readers of the class alluded to are aware of the fact that Mr. Sumner was os but not dan gerously punished by Mr. Brocks—not be cause of his hostility to southern institutions— not because of his peculiar positions on the Kansas question—but because he had com- mitted « foul, unprovoked, and malignant libel upon his native State and upon &@ near, aged, and abseut relative. How iong this wretched deception ean be kept up we are not ies sas tosay. Many of its authors appear to be heartily ashamed of it’ Mr. Sumner himeelf has got tired of being housed in Washington as an interesting, bleeding mar- tyr, and has left for parts where his excellent physical condition will not be the subject of public observation and laughin comment ; and it is not too much to expect that the dis- cussion of the last four days in the House, with all its attendant statements and devel. opment, will soon reach the eyes of the great mass of the people, of the North as well as of the South, and the whole of this unfortunate difficulty fully comprehended and dispassion- ately passed upon by the public voice. “Soon after the meeting of the House yes- terday, it became apparent that a blunder, possibly a ferious one, of some kind, had been committed by such of the black-republican leaders as have the prosecution of this case in charge Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, made re- ted and strenuous efforta to have the ma- jority report of the Investigating Committee amended. This was resisted by Mr. Houston of Alabama. Mr. Orr of South Carolina, Mr Letcher of Virginia, and others, on the ground that the Investigating Commitiee ceased to exist with the presentation of their reports, and that an amendment offered by one of the Jate committee had no more force and effect than an amendment offered by any other member of the House. After a running de- bate, partly relevant, partly irrevelant, and slightly personal, the previous question was called and ordered, with the understanding that the parties implicated should have the privilege of addressing the House. “Availing himself of this privilege, Mr. Ed- mundson, of Virginia, took the floor. He spoke for nearly an bour, and was listened to from the commencement to the close of his re- marks with an eager, earnest attention by an unusually crowded house It was a searchin; ® an impassioned, and a powerful a peal to bis brother members in their judicial capacity. He had, he said, been consulted by Mr. Brooks, as one friend would consult another who sud. denly finds himeelf in un up leasant difficulty. To have betrayed the ccatdenee thus reposed in him would have been to render himself odious and contemptible in the eyes of all hon- rable men. It is true, he continued, that he accompanied Mr. Brooks at first in his hostile journey, but it was to see fair play, and he would have feltit to have been his duty to assist Mr Sumoer, in case he had had to con- tend against unfair odds, as he would assist Mr. Brooks in a similar state of affairs. The strongest point made by Mr. Edmundson was in the startling disclosure that he was first used by the committee as a witness and then converted into a principal. The m: jority of the committee carefully concealed pa Mr. E, that he was implicated by them in the transaction Not the slightest notice to that effect was given to him—not the least chance afforded bim for defence or explanation. He was tried in secret, found guilty in secrect, sentenced in secret, without the formality of an indictment or even requiring his personal presence.’’ .

The Herbert Case.—The jury in this case re said to have stood, when discharged, seven for an acquittal to five for a convietion for manslaughter. The Judge has set down the case for a re-hearing to-morrow. Inthe mean- while, the public interest im it increases, In view of the strenuous effort of the defence to discredit the testimony for the prosecution in the late trial, &c., we presume that in the new one 8 more cross-examination of the witnesses for the defence will take place. See our Jocal columns for an account of the discharge of the jury this morning, Mr. Brooks.—The victory of yesterday, in the House hall, is with Preston. S. Brooks, whose speech on the occasion is destined to be read by millions. As terrible as that was upon those who had been dealing with the grave question of law and right only to make out of it partisan capital at the expense of every manly and correct sentiment—and his expo- sure of that purpose on the part of many of his assailants caused a very general ard visi- ble blanching of cheeks on the part of the Republicans—the dignity of his bearing and the power of his reasoning eclipsed it. He made it perfectly plain that the majority had voted to expel him only for political effect; overstepping the bounds of their authority: and aiding and abetting dastardly conduct on the part of some, only tothe end of compass- ing a political result foreign to him they sought to victimize. We hear that, anticipating this result, he placed his resignation of his seat in the House some days ago in the hands of friends, to be transmitted to the Governor of South Caro- lina on the instant the telegraph carries thither information of what occurred yesterday in the House. The election to supply the va- cancy thus created will take place in the course of next week. We predict for him a re-election without a dissenting vote, and a triumphal progress on his return to South Carolina, whither we presume he will wend his way to-day. He does but his duty to him- self and his constituents in appealing to them from the partisan judgment of the House. Their action upon the question of his re-elec- tion will open the eyes of those of the North who are cheating themselves into the belief that they may go on with the work of aboli- tionizing the Government without stirring up a feeling and determination in the section of the Union thus assailed, that must inevitably result in the separation of the sovereign States of the present North American confed- eracy, unless wiser and more patriotic coun cils prevail in the minds of the great mass of the northern public. The Architect of the Treasury Depart- ment.-—It is due to this gentleman, Mr. Young, that we should state a fact concerning his absence from Washington while charges are pending against him. It is, that he left here for Detroit on business of importance to the public service two days before Mr. Ball introduced his resolution into the House for the appointment of a select committee to in- vestigate charges against him end others of the bureau in which he isanemployee Nei- ther he nor the public had the least idea of the tenor of Mr. Ball’s movement at that time. We make this statement, because we perceive that those who are seeking for political effect to create the impression that there is ground for the charges of Mr. Ball as against the present administration or any one of its ap- pointees, are publishing that his absence from Washington is on account of Mr. B.’s move- ment. We presume that news of that event will bring him back very soon. Mr. Youngis aman of high character. The integrity of no other man in any walk of life is more unblem- ished. His friends at a distanse need enter- tain no fear on account of the future of his reputation. An investigation into the charge’ said to be alleged against him will only cover his accusers with shame—if not impervious to that sentiment—on the exposure of the utter groundlessness of their accusations against a scrupulously correct and inoffensive man, to serve a miserable partizan end. We feel very sure that while the proposed investiga- tion will end in holding up to public censure in connection with the business of the con- struction bureau of the Treasury Department, employees of the Jast Administration, those of the present Adminis‘ration will be wholly exonerated from any suspicion whatever of complicity with improper practices in the dis- charge of their several duties. The Beported Killing of Col. Wright and & third of his Regiment (Ninth Infantry.) The following letter reached us this morning. It is from a reliable army officer, and renders very doubtful the truth of the story of the killing of Col. Wright and one third of his regiment, which has created so great sensa- tion on the Atlantic side: San Francisco, June 19, 1856. Editor of the Star: I arrived here late last night, and was much surprised on seeing in this morning’s papers the report I herewith send in a slip from the Alta California. Now observe, it is dated ‘“ Jacksonville, Juve 9,”’ and says Mr. Fiaher “left Corvales Wednesday last.’’ Therefore, that Wednes- day must have been the 6th instant, and as the information reached Corvales “the night previous,’’ it must have come to Cervolis on the night ofthe 5th June Thus, it seems the news was ‘* telegraphed from Portland, 0. T , to Lafayette, und was brought from thence by mail*to Corvales,’’ and reached theo latter | soared on the night of the 5th June. So much ‘or the analysis of the report brought by Mr Fisher, and which, if uncontradicted, would cause great anguish in the hearts of friends aud relatives of the Ninth infantry, who are far from us. I cannot believe the report for very good reasons. 1 femicad a letter from Major . dated Fort Vancouver, June 5, saying : “Maj. Garnett having arrived from the Sound with two companies of the Ninth, is to leave to- morrow (June 6th) to join them to Colonel Wright's force, and 1° go with them to pay Colonel Wright's troops, who are now on the south side of Naghess river.” 2d. Iu Col. Wright's official report from his own camp, south bank of the Naches: 2d or third of June, (1 forget which,) he ‘Col. Steptoe has recently joined with a rein- forcement, and I have just sent one com any #8 escort to the train from the Dallas am in foree on the south bank of the Nachess, and the Indians are in force on the north bank The river is now so swollen by floods we cannot cross. Kameakin has gone to the Nez Perces, and is expected back in a few days. I hope soon to bring about peace either with or without a fight.” Such is the sub- stance of the Colonel’s Jast Teport to the Gen- eral, You will pereees, therefore, tr. Fisher’s report how impossi- to b the dates connected with it are eeetect’ t have no confidence in it, and shoul: surprised if it were manufactured rs uta purposes I need not mention. The opinion derived from official reports, is that there is a division of sentiment amon, the ohiefs—the young wishing for war, the ol for peace—and that Kameakin, the old sinner, had gone to the Nez Perces (to Looking Glass, ble it is for = the war chief of the Nez Perces) to sound him as to the prospect of obtaining help. We have heretofore thought Kameakin and Skloom were in favor of peace, and you know the Ya- kamas, of which they are two of the principal chiefs, are the most numerous of the tribes now in arms. You will see the —— of Col. Wright's force on the date of its last report above re- ferred to, by reference to the sketch accom- banying a memoir‘of November last, of which I think you have a copy among your own pa- | orci not you will find it in the Adjutant Feneral’s Office. Col. Wright’s march was made from Fort Dallas to his present position (south bank of the Nachess) in 5 days—on the latter from the Mission driving the Yak- fore him, to the north bank of the In regard to the report of the attack upon Capt. Smith, we have some facts which in- duce me to believe it is in the main correct. These facts come from officers in private let- ters, but Colonel Buchannan, commanding in Rogue River Valley, had not reported suc battle—probably the information reached him too late ty about one hour to be sent by the last down trip of the Columbia. In Col. B ’s last official report to the General, which was received by that conveyance, no mention is made of the attack uo Capt Smith, and hopes are expressed, with good reason. that he would soon have the most of the Rogue River Indians on their way to the Reserves I have taken occasion to call on the editors (two) this morning, and given them the facts as I have given them to you in substance, so that the steamer which leaves to-morrow may take the contradiction of the report of Mr. Fisher halal N. B You see I am a little in doubt as to the exact date of Col. W.’s last report, but it came by the same mail that brought Alvord’s, and came to Fort Vancouver before Alvord’s left_ Observe, Fisher says, the report reach- ed Corvales the 5th, which was the same date of Alvord’s, and you know, to reach Corvales the news must pass by Vancouver—therefore to the argument, it is unimportant whether Col. W.’s report was dated on the 2d, 3d, 4th or 5th, Alvord’s letter settles the question that Fisher’s report is untrue. HE A Point.—A noteworthy incident transpired in the House hall yesterday, immediately after Mr. Edmundson concluded his speech. We refer to the tacit acknowledgement worked out of Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, that the publi- cation of the ex parte and remarkable affida- vit of Senator Sumner made before the House Select Committee, in advance of the Commit- tee’s report, was the work of that gentleman himself, or some one immediately in his confi- dence—not of any member of the Committee or their Clerk, who alone had™access to the copy of it in their possession. What renders the act of Mr. Sumner in thus seeking to get before the public an ex parte statement ina case where he was personally involved the more reprehensible, is the fact that the testi- mony of other Senators and gentlemen, subse- quently taken by the Committee and delivered in the Senate in the course of the debate on the subject matter, completely exposed the utter want of foundation of many of the most important things stated in Mr, Sumner’s testi- mony thus surreptitiously and improperly put before the public by himself or his confidants. The truth is, that act was but a “ shriek for freedom’’—a trick that all truly honorable men must condemn—a trick on a par with the policy which has marked much of the Con- gressional canvass for “freedom in Kansas.’’ The Glover & Mather Case.—The First Comptroller of the Treasury is said, this morn- ing, to have rendered his decision in the now famous Glover & Mather case. It will be re- collected that Glover & Mather contracted with the Postmaster General, under the last Administration, to carry an express mail on the Mississippi, from Louisville to New Or- leans, &c , in seven days, in passenger and low pressure boats, and that the present Post- master General, in view of the exigencies of the public service, declined carrying out that arrangement. The parties then applied to Congress for damages, and a bill was passed for their relief directing the auditing of their account for damages, and its payment not to ex- ceed $200,000. The Comptroller has awarded them the full sum specified in the law. It is said, also, that under his decision they will probably eventually obtain by act of Con- gress as much more. Mr. Edmundson’s Speech.—Mr. Edmund- son, of Virginia, took the House completely by surprise yesterday. Up to that time, though also a member of the last House, he had not opened his mouth in debate inthe hall. He proved to be one of the most effective orators of the body. There was grace, dignity, feel- ing, keen perceptions, manliness, and genuine eloquence running through his effort in de- fence of the propriety of his conduct in the affair between Messrs. Brooks and Sumner, which made a profound impression on the House and the assembled auditory, forcing on their mind the conviction that he is not only a high toned, chivalric, and generous gentle- man, but one of rare eratorical abilitfes, in- deed. His speech is calculated to do infinite damage to the purpose of the committec, which was evidently to make political capital for Fremont. The Adjournment —It is being said that'the Republican-party House managers have at length agreed to take up the Senate’s joint resolution fixing a day for the termination of the session, and that they propose to pass it without amendment; or, in other words, to terminate the session without consummating anything for the pacification of California or the enactment of the annual appropriation bills. The truth is, since the failure of the negotiations to induce both Dayton and John- ston to withdraw their recpective pretensions to the vice-presidency, said to have been carried on at the quarters of Speaker Banks in this city, the aforesaid managers have grown des- perate. Their game now is to superinduce as much confusion and as much real danger as possible in the condition of public affairs, in the hope of thus so exciting the northern masses, a8 to induce them to vote in November pretty much as a frightened flock of shoep obey or follow the motions of the first one of them who moves. - Mr. Stanley.—Among the distinguished visitors at present in the Federal metropolis is the Hon. Edward Stanley, now of San Francisco, and formerly a member of the House from North Carolina. He looks ad- mirably well and has been warmly welcomed by his host of personal friends of all parties here. He is stopping at Willards’, The Current Operations of the Treasury Department .—On yesterday, the 14th of J uly, there were of Treasury warrants entered on the books of the Department— For the redemption of Stooks.... $28,363 65 For the Treasury Department. 11,768 40 War warrants received and en- te sesecsecceserseeeessesees 11,879 56 War repay warrants received and Ontered...cesevesereeees 11,879 56 For the Interior Department 372 50 From miscellaneous source: 1,537 53 cr 9,435 93 625 55 8,722 43 OGONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to press, the bill to amend the act to promote ef- ficiency in the Navy was considered on va- rious amendmorts until a late Hour; when they adjourned without finally disposing of the aubject. Tm the House, Mr. Edmundson concluded his speech in deferce of himself against the pending proposition to censure him by resolu- tion of the House for his alleged connection with the fracas between Messrs. Brooks and Sumner, and interlocutory explanatory re- marks were then made between that gentle- man and Messrs. Dunn, Walker, Cobb, and Campbell of Ohio. Mrv Campbell of Ohio, then addressed the House for an hour in favor of the original resolution reported him “from the Select Committee on the Brooks aud Sumner fracas The question was next put on tiie amend- ment of Mr. English to the amendment of Mr. Gort which proposed to strike all out and in- rt in lieu thereof a resolution censuring Mr. Brooks for bis assault on Mr. Sumner, and at the same time expressing the disapprobation of the House for speeches in Congress assail- ing States or individual members; and it was not agreed to—yeas 35, 176 The » yee recurred on the amendment of Mr. Cobb, of Ga , to strike out all the res- alutions originally reported from the select committee and insert in liea therefor a resolu- tion declaring the House to be without juris- diction in the case, and thefore declining to express an opinion upon it, and it was not agreed to—yeas 66, nays 145 The question was then put on the first branch of the original resolutions reported from the select committee, as follows — Resolved, That Preston S.

Edmundeon and Lawrence M. Keitt, in re- gard to said assault. Mr Jones, of Tennessee, moved to lay it upon the table ; which motion was not agreed to—yeas 96, nays 111 Mr. Dunn called for a division of the ques- tion. But objection was made, and the Speaker decided that it oould only be divided by unan- imous consent. Mr. A. K.

In the House, after the journal was read, the question recurred on the pending appeal from the Speaker's decision of the day before, that the resolution from the select committee onthe Brooks and Sumner fracas cenguring Messrs. Keitt and Edmundson was not divisi- ble under the rule, and after much conversa tional debate on the point of order involved in the appeal, the question was put on the ap- peal, and the decision of the Chair was sus- tained—yeas 162, nays 25. The question was then put onthe said res- olution—censuring Messrs. Keitt and Sumner ; and, from the tenor of the voting upon it ere we went to press. it was evident that it would not pass on that vote. oe POLITICAL ITEMS.
