Weightman and Capt. Schaeffer in relation to the refusal of the Department to com- mission Capt. S. bas a, . In letter No.1, 1 General Stone informs Captain 8. that he bas been commissioned major of the 7th regiment District of Columbia militia. No. 2 is the reply of Capt. S . declining the ma- jority, but states that himself and company are ready to march at a moment’s warning in de! of the Government or public proj of the Dis- trict of Columbia,when attacked or threatened by violence from wor oes Nar it from the North, South, East, or West. No. 3 is from Gen. Weightman, requiring the return of the howitzer in the possession of the Kifies to the Columbian Ai , and giving notice that thelr howitzer drills must be hereafter condncted at the Armory. Capt. Schaeffer replies, ing the demand has been complied with, and is, ‘ With every dis- ition, as it is my duty te the orders of the Major General, 1 feel consteal to say that such unreasonable commands, if not so intended, only serve to hamper my command in their efforts, hitherto perseveringly made, to become proficient in military tactics This communication is returned to Capt S.,en- dersed : ‘‘ Respectfully returned to Capt. Schaef- fer, the General C "g declines to receive a communication from a subordinate officer, char- acterizing ove of ha — ‘ geese se A Tepetitioa of such language, in official correspon- devce, will greet with different notice.” Capt. S. replies to Gen. Weightman: “ Your endorsement upon my brief note is to me vague and ambiguous, and in language inharmonious You are pleased to say ‘it is respectfully returned;’ thereby and thus far correctly assuming that no disrespect was intended by me, which is a fact. The unintelligibility of the language of your en- dorsement consists in the ex ion that similar communications upon official correspondence will meet with ‘different notice’ I am of opinion that a < an — character boro be conducted In perspicuous language—especially in military matters—hence I address you this un- official note.” This note was also returned to Capt. S.,en- dorsed : “* Respectfully returned to Capt. Schaef- fer. The Major General Commanding does not see fit to enter into private correspondence on of- ficial business.” On the Sth of Feb. Capt. S. received the fol- lowing vote: “Monpay, Feb 4, 1861. ‘Gen. Weightman will thank Capt. Schaeffer to call ¢ library room ofthe Patent Office as soon as his convenience rere | At the interview bad with Gen. Weightman, in compliance with this request, Capt. Schaeffer was informed that his commission was ready for him; but that as rumors, the correctness of which the General bad no reason to doubt, had reached him, toucbing the loyalty of Capt S., be deemed it proper that the Captain shoul id to afew questions, which were put to him by Inspecton General Stone, viz: In the event of the State of Maryland seceding from the Union, would Capt.S., take up arms against said State? If the State of Virginia should secede from the Union, would Capt. S. aid the general govern- ment with force of arms to coerce said State? ‘To the foregoing questions, Capt.S answered “1 would not.’’ To the question what would Capt. 5. do, in the event of the secession of both the States named, be replied that he belonged to the Maryland line. Capt. S. was informed that he could not have hiscommission. He then asked for the interro- gatory in writing, and was answered that they would be furnished him. February 6th, Gen. Weightman writes to Col. Cooper, Adjutant General U.S. Army, returning Capt Schaeffer's commission to the War Depart- ment He writes:—“1 deem it improper to de- liver said commission to Capt. Schaeffer, for the reason that he has declared that, in case he should be called upon by the government of the United ‘States to defend the property of said governshent against the action of a reeeemeer State, he would not render the service, but would instantly resign and join the forces of said State.” On the same date, Inspector General Stone writes to Capt. S. that his commission has been returned to the War Department. On the 7th of February Capt. Schaeffer writes to Gen. Weightman, req ing to be furnished in writing with the interrogatories propounded "ou tee unese ny Gennal Weightman repli On the same day in jen: “At the interview alluded to, oa were intnerned, verbally, that certain reports reached these aarters concerning declarations made you. These reports you requested to be furnish: you in writing, and you were ised that they should be so communicated. Positive information has been received at these juarters that you bave, at various times, di: that in in contingencies you would not serve the United ‘States Government for the protection of its Bee erty im this city, as inst the forces of a State, but would resign and join the forces of that State The Government of the United States desires no unwilling service, and I do not deem it consistent with my duty to band a commission to any officer who makes bis fidelity and obedience to orders in manner conditional.” ‘apt. Schaeffer replies on the 9th of February, characterizing the letter of Gen. W. as ‘“disia- genuous,’? and adds:—* Had you intended to do me the least justice, you would have stated what you knew to be the fact—that the propesition dis- tinetly made to me was, would I, in the event of the State of may land or the State of Virginia se- ceding from the Union, take up arms against said oreither of them? Such was test of loyalty applied to me, and which I, on the in- stant, Tesi, such is the condition upon which, in my bumble opinion. every honorable man, native and citizen of Maryland, should accept a commission for service in this District.”’ Tut Concert To-niont.— Read the programme of the concert to be given to-night at the Smith- sonian Institution, for the benefit of Company C, Washington Light Infantry. It will be seen that the sel are well made, and that some of the best amateur singers of Washington are to par- ticipate. The full Marine Band has also been engaged, and will perform in its best style several pular overtures. Hon. John Cochrane, of New Far , Will be present in behalf of the indies of ‘Washington to present a beautiful stand of mark- ers’ colors to the company, and Mr. Clampitt, of Company C, will receive the gift on the part of the corps There will be a fine display of uni- forms, as Company C will be out in full numbers, and several other volunteer companies from Gi ywn and Washington have determined to be nt in full dress uniform A great time is anticipated, as Company C has determined thatin all respects this shall be the concert of the seasun.

Murtia Bit or tHe Disteitr or Co- LumBia.—In the Senate, iy, Mr. Wilson moved to take up the bill for the better tion of the militia of the District of Colum The bill, be said,was the approval of Gen. Jesup, Major Lee, General Weightman, and Col Hickey. it bad the House last year, and was agreed to by Senate committee. Mr. Saulsbury wished to ask what was the rea- son why this bill for the reorganization of the militia was pressed at this time? He did not know whetber any particular reasons exist, but if they do, what are they? Mr. Wilson said that some two or three ago there was an effort to revise the militia laws of the District. A committee was jinted to do so, and their report was aspen by Gov. Floyd, the Secretary of War. was not origi- nated with any view to existing difficulties, but last had the approval of the Committee on brs - ilitia, and was warmly urged by Col. ickey. Mr. Sau wished that the public should not mistake the motive for which this bill is now urged upon Congress. He wasattached to the Union, and as much op; to secession as any body, but thought there was no necessity for the of this act at this time Mr. Mason calied attention to the section pre- scribing an oath to sup; the Constitution te be taken by the privates of the militia. Mr. Wilson said it was simply an oath to sup- | ses Constitution and laws of the United Mr. Mason knew it was customary, at least in Virginia, for the officers to take such an oath; but he never knew that the men were called to do so. These militiamen are compelled to serve without their will, and such an oath might be against their conscience. He would therefore strike out the provision for administering the oath, except to the officers. Mr. Johnson, of Ark., said the bill had been Prepared years ago, and the committee had ful! confidence in it, but he believed it had never re- ceived any serious consideration by the commit- tee. He would confess the truth with regard to himself that he had never read it. He wished the bill to pass, but thought it best to recommit it to the Committee on Military Affairs for reéx- amination. Mr. Bragg thought the bill was the old bill, but now found that a section providing for the oath to privates is now incorporated. He thought there was no riety in compellin; ‘ivates to take the oath = eine petra Mr. Mason moved to strike from the section prescribing the oath the words “ non-commis- sioned officers ane privates. eas Wilson said the bill was placed in his an Col. Hickey, and was printed as he had recel it. The provision in regard to the oath was different from that which came from the ee and to which Senators objected as a ‘“test- oath > The Presiding Officer said that the motion of the Senator from Arkansas to re-commit took pre cedence of the motion to amend. Mr. Wilson would not object if the Senator from Arkansas wished to have an opportunity of reexamining the bill. Mr. Grimes hoped the motion of the Senator from Virginia (Mr. Mason) would prevail. A man who is a coward or a traitor at heart will still be a coward traitor, though he pile oath on oath mountains high. Mr. Hale thought that now the provision for the oath was in the bill it ought not to be stricken out. Why should privates be excused from swear- ing to maintain the Constitution and laws of their country? For what had we marred the public ; Sharpe and built an armory if not for the sake of ving a militia here to aid in the defense and protection of the Constitution and Governinent of the country? Why such sensitiveness amongst gentlemen on this ject? What is there in the state of the times that the Senate will not passa bill until the provision for an oath to support the Constitution and laws of the United States is stricken cut? Mr. Hemphill stated that officers and Privates in actual service were required to take the oath, but not eee of militia. The bill was then recommitted to the Commit- tee on Military Affair Loox Ovt For Ro: —About § o’clock on Monday night a thief entered the provision store of Mr. F.
