Congress .—-In Senate , Aug. 10.— Mr. Bigler, of Pennsylvania, submitted a resolution calling on the President for copies of the vouchers on which Mr. Fremont’s accounts as an officer of tbe Govern ment, from his first expedition to California, were settled, so that the nature of the disbursements may appear ; also, inquiring whether there is any public money in his hands unaccounted for, or whether there are any papers on file in the Departments, from official sonrces, charging bjm with malfeasance in office, &c. This resolution was laid over, under the bill, till the following day, when it was taken up by a vote of 29 to 14, and a debate followed, of which the following is a sketch : Mr. WILSON said he regarded all propositions of this character, whether made by one political party or another, as small business. The accounts of Mr. Fremont for the money placed in his hands by Government had been settled. A report had been made by Elisha Whittlesey, covering hundreds of claims under various laws of Congress for unsettled balances of public money. In this report were found the names of Worth, Gaines, Harney, and some of the noblest and best men of the Republic; but Mr. Fremont’s name was not there. The reso lution was an attempt to blast Mr. Fremont’s repu tation and character. It appeared to be a blow from Mr. Buchanan at his rival, given through his spokesman on this floor. It would do no harm. Mr. BIGLER denied that Mr. Buchanan was in any way responsible for his (Bigler’s) action on this floor. He (Buchanan) had not been consulted in the matter. These charges against Mr. Fremont, with regard to financial matter, had been extensive ly circulated, and it was due to him that they should be refuted from official sources if it could be done. He had anticipated no opposition to such a resolu tion from the friends of that gentleman. Mr. WILSON replied that Mr. Fremont’s friends were abundantly able to take charge of his reputa tion. Mr. TRUMBULL said if there was to be a gen eral overhauling of accounts, it might be as well to serve all the Presidential candidates alike. He, therefore, moved to amend the resolution, by adding the clause that the President be. requested to cause down, to invite a Senatorial inquiry into the use of the seal of the American legation, during Mr. Bu chanan’s mission in England, for the dissemination © 7 of red republican documents through Europe ; and in regard to the issue of free passes to abandoned women from the same legation ; also for a copy of the letter which Mr. Buchanan, while Secretary of State, wrote to Mr. Polk recommending $50,000 to be deposited in Simon Cameron’s bank, for the purpose of being used to buy up tbe Washington Globe, anrl establish the Union newspaper in its Last Excuse Taken from his Tiliifers.

Where is the man who has tacrificed more of personal comfort to the good of bis country than he ? Surely the man cannot be found. Amid the “ pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war,” many men will stake their lives ; but we shall find few, very few, who will nobly brave the thousand deaths which stare upon the pioneer among the eternal snows and wild savages of the Rooky Mountains, and that, too, for the single purpose of opening the road of civilization and Christianity, to the vast. “ Conversations” wiih whom ?

The following Letter was published in the Cincinnatti Gazette of Aug. 5 : N e w - Y o r k , Tuesday, July 29, 1856. M y D e a r S i r : Your favor of the 1st inst. ought to have been answered long ago, but ab sence and business must plead my excuse. I am not surprised to here that the rumors so widely circulated concerning Col. F r e m o n t ’ s religion should have the effect of causing some, who sympathize thoroughly with his sentiments in regard lo the extension of Slavery, to hesitate about pledging themselves to his support. But so far as those rumors assert, or imply, that he to be communicated to the Senate at the same time 1 is a Roman Catholic, they are without the slight similar information with regard to all the transac est foundation in lact.

N ew Y ork , July 23, 1856. D ear F reeman :— This forenoon I started out under a hot sun, to fulfill an engagement which 1 made yesterday. At just 12 o’clock, a. m., I rang the bell at the door of No. 56 Ninth street. As 1 stood there waiting for an answer to my sum mons, I instinctively cast my eyes up to see where tlie balcony had been broken, for not many evenings since there was a crash there some where while quite a precious load was upon it. But I could see nothing, the hands ofthe artificer having made all right. I had just seen that there was nothing to be seen, when the door was opened. I handed my card to the attendant, and was conducted to the front parior on the second floor, where I was left alone some ten or fifteen minutes. The appartment was furnish ed in a style of simple luxuriousness, everything there being made either for comfort or use. Up on the walls were some valuable paintings, and among them a fine portrait of “ Old Bullion.” Also a characteristic likeness of the iron states man of South Carolina, Calhoun. Many books were there, some of them much read\; and I could not but notice that these latter were works of noble merit— mostly scientific, historical, and records of important travels. The best poets were there, and had certainly been often thumb ed. At length the attendant called upon me, and desired me to follow him. In a quiet, simply- furnished apartment, upon the rear of the first floor, I found my host. 1 was not prepared to meet such a man.- None ofthe published prints of him which I had seen did him justice. Yet I knew that I held Col. John Charles Fremont by the hand. I had expected to see a sfout-built, full-featur- ed, dark, sharp-eyed man, with the air ot “ rou^h- and-tumble” life fresh upon him. I was looking for an eye that should pierce me through, and make me feel anywhere but at home. In short, I was all prepared to keep cool and wear an out ward show of ease. But mark : I met a man rather below the medium size, as far as mere bulk is concerned,'with a mild, modr est expression of countenance ; a deep, meaning eye. but beaming with intellectual light; a brow nobly formed, though half-hidden by the dark, curling hair which parts in the centre and floats away on either side; a bold, acquiline nose, with those finely curved nostrilshvhieh mark the fear less, firmed.souled man ; lips rather thin, and not at all hidden by the graceful moustache ; a prominent chin for character, though in perfect keeping with the rest of the features. 1 never saw a masculine face with so much boldness of outline, and less ofthe animal. There is hardly an animal feature discernable. It is all m a n , — true, pure and noble, His feelings speak out plainly in his face, especially in his eyes and ihe varying shades of his countenance N E W S P R I N G S T Y L E S O f ap 22 now opening by A .

They know these facts perfectly well, but they think that the mere fact of an inquiry of this kind being instituted by the Senate may prejudice him with those who are not aware of the vulgar and unmanly spirit in which it originated, Col. Fremont’s accounts were settled a year ago or more ; they were carefully canvassed by a committee of the House of Repre sentatives, one of whom was Extra Billy Smith of Virginia, notorious for his strictness in such mat ters, and were unanimously passed upon and settled by the concurrence of the House. Not a complaint has ever been laid before the public by the federal officers, nor an intimation that his accounts were open to exception; but now, when he is a candidate for the Presidency, his antagonist choses to avail himself of the control which his party has over the government archives, to institute an inquiry design ed to impeach his official integrity. It is a coward ly proceeding, and will harm none but those by whom it is instigated, for there is nothing required to insure Col. Fremont’s election- but familiarity with his life, which, like a key in one’s pocket, grows brighter tho more it is rubbed. We are surprised that it did not occur to some of the opposition Senators, when Senator Bigler sat 1 harl a wrri r-~i fo- ^ , I highest hope was that he might be able to open to evidence, we are credibly informed, to send its au- j llim self/, Co1, Freoiont j Ms countrymen a short and safe route to the Paci j country. He. did it—aye, he did it, or he would 1 not now be resting upon his laurels. Col. Fremont was born at Savannah, Georgia, on the 21st of January, 1818, and is consequently at the present time forty-three years of age. Just in the prime of life— in the vigor of true manhood; with a noble experience fresh upon him; one of the people in the broadest sense of the expression ; with hi3 sympathies warm for humanity; no bitter prejudices to warp his judgment; but fresh and strong, firm in the Right, and looking only to the eternal laws of Justice and Truth for his guide, he stands at the present time pre-eminently qualified to represent to tbe world of nations, tbe true Re publican sentiment of this glorious Union. Insurrection amongthe Know Nothings—Fifty- seven Seccders to Fremont. From the Newark Avevtiser, Aug. 11, An exciting incident occurred last evening at the Second Ward Americana Council, in conse quence of the determination of 57 members to repudiate the nomination of Fillmore and sup port Fremont and Dayton. It appears that sev eral of them had been cited to appear and ans* wer to charges of having expressed their inten tion to vote for Frerrionl and Dayton, which was alleged to be contrary to an obligation requiring them to support the nominees of the National Council, it was also maintained by tK^Council that by an article adopted an June, 1855, they could not withdraw after a nomination was made, and the intention was, if the “charges were sustained, to expel the offenders with disgrace.— The seeeders maintained that their obligation was taken before the prohibitory withdrawal clause was adopted, and that they were entitled to withdraw honorably. The charges of insub ordination, however, were called for, but not presented, owing to the accused being in the minority, and after much confusion and dispute, permission was granted them to leave thd Order, and the 57 quietly withdrew, but on retiring, those who remained greeted them with hisses, to which they responded by cheers for Fremont and Dayton, which they repeated on the side^ walk in front o f the house. They then proceed ed tOjPutnam Hall, where a meeting was organ, ized and several speeches made, and arrange ments made for a public meeting. -f The utmost enthusiasm prevailed, and the party separated at a late hour, each one deter mined to work with renewed energy and redou bled z^al henceforth until the election. -The persons withdrawing constitnted the-reri backbone and stability of this Couneit, which liai. been one of the largest and best organized in the city. This defection leaves it a mere emasculat ed skeleton, without spirit or vitalit}’. The Martinsburgh Journal, the Democratic organ in Lewis County, N. Yl, having declared for Fremont, the late Democratic Member of Congress from that District, addressed the follow, ing note to the Editor : D. S. Bailey, Esq .— -Duar S ir: I must cordially congratulate your noble advocacy ofthe principles of the Republican party— ofthe nomr- nation of Fremont and Dayton ; they are those o f the early fathers and founders of the Republic, and a just reflex of tbe sentiments and sympathies of the Democratic masses of Northern New York. In Europe, I was proud,as an American, o f the achievements of Col. Fremont, complimented as he was, by the admiration of Humboldt, and the distinguished praise of Arago. He, in truth, unites a Phoenician ]ove of ad venture to Greek patriotism and Roman eouragej w h o se country’s glory has been his greatest, hif chiefest and hisoniy aim. Whether we view him ’mid the m iasm a of Salt Lake marshe5? or th§ perils o f Sierra N e v a d a snow s, battling under the Bear flag against defeated Castro, or treating singly, surrounded by hostile savages, the captivft of an army cohort, or the tenant'of a British prison— in each position he has exhibited patriot ism, and defied persecution and firmness that conquered misfortunos. In him our country would truly realize its high ideal of a Chief Magistrate worthy of its progressive destiny. Trusting that Divine Providence will bless our efforts in b e h a lf of the cau s e of F r e e d o m , believe me ever yours, C aleb L yon of L yonsdale . Church at Washington, and that in a subsequent conversation with him at dinner at Brown’s Ho tel, Colonel F remont declared himself a Catholic and a believer in the peculiar doctrines of that Church, are entirely untrue. Col. F remont was not in the city of Washing ton at all during the year 1852. He left New York for California in March, 1850. He return ed in the steamer George Law, which reached New York on the 5th of March, 1852; and re maining in that city four days, he left on the 10th, in the steamer Africa, for Europe, and did not return until June, 1853. I understand that Alderman F ulmer exhibits a receipt from Brown’s Hotel dated March 7, 1852, for four days’ board. This makes it certain that the Al derman’s stay there terminated on the 7th, and that the alleged conversation must have taken place previously to that date. But as Col. F re mont did not reach New York from California until the 6th, it is impossible that he should have been connected with them,— especially as he remained in New York until his departure for Europe, and did not visit Washington at all. He has no recollection of having ever dined at Brown’s Hotel until this last Winter, since 1841, or o f having ever seen Alderman F ulmer , there or elsewhere. The Alderman, I am informed, is a man whojwould not be likely to make such statements unless he believed them to be true. But it is very certnin that he has fallen into a very gross error somehow, probably by mistak- ing'some other person with whom he may have held the conversation in question, for Col. F re - mont . He owes it to his own character, as well as to justice, to take steps to confirm, or correct, the accuracy of his recollection in this matter. You may rely upon the entire authenticity of the statements 1 have thus made in reply to your inquiry for the “ facts.” In the present state of the public mind, and in view of the earnest and persevering misrepresentations of the truth, you may think it desirable that they should be gene rally known. If so, you are quite at liberty to make them public, and to add that they are given as the result of conversations w ith Col. F remont himself. I am, very truly, yours, HENRY J. RAYMOND. E. D. M a n s f i e l d , Esq., Cincinnati. c e a l m e u t o r p r e v a r i c a t i o n . At first tbe visitor is hardly willing to believe that the lightly-built man before him is\ the Alexander of California— the Yespucius of the Rocky Mountains; but when we note that firm ness of muscle— that fine knitting of frame— that super-abundance of nerve and neatly ar ranged musele- -we'are no longer at fault. I had not spoken with him a full minute be fore 1 felt as perfectly at home as though 1 had been with a member of my own family. His salutation was frank and manly, free from all study, and bore upon its tone a genial welcome. I wondered, ere I was introduced, if my costume was au fait, or comme ilfaut, for I knew that some of our plain (?) Republican gentry, when called upon to serve the public, were very punc tilious in this respect, and it is not to be won dered at that ere I left the drawing-room I gave one last look into the mirror, to be assured that all was right. But when I found the Colonel, I thanked my stars that I had studied my own comfort in my costume. His own dress consist ed of a pair of thin pants without suspenders, no vest, and a common, loose, brown-linen sack.— And so he received his guests. Why, I tell you, he is a perfect man, just as God made him, without foreign airs or fixings of any sort or kind. He is Republican to the back bone ; ancl you may rest assured that he has a “ backbone,” too. None of your stiff ones that can’t bend till it breaks, nor none of your india-rub ber ones that bend to everything—but it is one of your finely tempered steel fixtures, and bends to lose its noble uprightness. In conversation he is free, easy and pleasing; with language just fitted to convey his thoughts; a spirit of mild good-nature predominant, with just fire enough in those deep-set eyes to show that they could burn rather warmly were the stroke given. As we talk on, we find him possessing a wondrous fund of sound, practical sense; keen and penetrating; reading motives easi ly, and deducting his conclusions with more than ordinary accuracy. He presents one of those pecu liar moral conformations which seek good in every thing ; ever ready to grasp good advice ; seeking counsel from those qualified to give i t ; never acting upon a preconceived plan when he is shown a better; but no more to be turned from what he knows is right, than his own Rocky Mountains can be turned into tbs Pacific. I have seen just enough of John Charles Fre mont to assure me that no mortal power can swerve him from the path of duty, and that no man knows S i n g u l a r P r e s e n t i m e n t . — Mr. J. C. Rogers, a young man engaged on this paper as a com positor, came to the office yesterday morning and told the hands that he was unfit for work. Being asked what ailed him, he said that he dreamed during the night that he saw his mother in (jer coffin, and the dream was so vivid and hadaffeqt- ed him so deeply that he could not work. He remained about the office all day. much depress ed in spiritsjjuntil about 4 o’clock in the after noon, vvhen he received a telegraphic dispatch an nouncing that his mother was dead.’ The lady had enjoyed perfect health to within a few hours of her death, and no communication whatever had been received warning him of her illness. W e have examined into these facts carefully and can vouch for them. The communication oF the circumstances of the terrible dream wfis made seven or eight hours before the telegraph dispatcfl was sent. Publicity would not be given to this occurrence if there existed a shadow o£ doubt as to the entire truth of the main facts. The1 death’ took place on the morning of yesterday, at* Niagara, C. W ., 228 miles from Detroit.— Advertiser, Aug. 2. The Hon. A. C. Stone, P. M. at Peterboro, MauL ison County, N. Y., has been removed because he is stumping the county for Fremont. He said recently, in a speech, “ They can have the post office, but they “ can’t have my vote.” There were three Buchanan men in the village that wanted the Tom Petrie was the successful candidate, he fieing the only one that could write. The Fremont Club of the important town of Poughkeepsie held a large meeting on Wednesday evening. Gen. Leonard Maison, formerly a State. Senator and a Cass Democrat of ’48, made the open ing speech for Fremont and Dayton, followed by H. Greeley of New-York. Poughkeepsie will cast 2,000 votes this Fall—divided nearly as follows: Fremont,'I, 2 0 0 ; B u c h a n a n , 500; Fillm o r e , 300.
