Mr, Grimes, from the committee on Naval Affairs, introduced a bill to pro vided for the temporary increase" of the Navy. Mr. Foot said that there was pressing necessity for passage of the bill. The bill authorizes the Secretary of the navy to purchase or hire such vessels as may be necessary daring the war to sup press piracy and render effectual the blockade. It appropriates three millions . dollars. The bill passed the house. The resolution regarding adjournment on Fri day was taken up and laid on the table to give time for consideration. The bill to provide for the better or ganization of the military, establishment was taken up. Mr. Wilson offered an amendment to the whole bill comprising nearly all the amendments heretofore of fered and further providing a retiring list for the army. Mr. Hale moved to strike out all that portion relating to the retiring list of the army and navy. After a long discussion the amendment was disagreed to, years 11, nays 27. TERRIPICBATTLE ! -YEAR CEJVTnEVTLT.E V-l. The Largest Cattle Ever Fought on this Continent. FRIGHTFUL LOSS ON BOTH SIDE! IffTCYSE EXCITEMEXT WASIIIAGTOX. AT Washington. Midnight 21. An engagement occurred to-day near Centerville, Va. The enemy retreated towards Manassas leaving their batteries in possession of the Union forces. The fighting' " commenced at 3 o'clock this morning and continued most desperately until 2 this p m. The rebels were driven back inch by inch leaving their dead ori the field. The loss of life on both sides is frightful. Our troops behave most gal lantly and our guns were very effectual. The whole force on both tides is said to have been engaged. . Gen. Johnston having joined the rebels making Gen Beauregard's force about 70,000. It is supposed the rebels will suffer greatly at Manassas for want of water. . Herald's correspondent says, when I left the field of battle I saw the rebels flying in vast numbers. The greatest en thusiasm prevailed throughout our ranks. Jeff. Davis is understood to be at Manas sas Junction. Col Cowden's Mass 1st regiment was fired on by rebel pickets several times as they slept on their arms. The Times' correspondent says the bat tle has been one of the severest ever fought on this continent. Up to two o' clock our troops had driven the enemy a distance of nearly two miles. As the enemy fell back from one position it was only to another equally strong and at every point fresh re-inforcements were poured in almost without limit as to num bers, there can bo no doubt that their 'force was at least double ours. The Fire Zouaves were terribly cut up while drawn up to make an attack. They were as sailed by a cencealed battery with a strong support on their flank and were forced to break. It is said both Col. Farham and Lieut. Col. John Creihton are killed. Bat it may prove untme. The latter at all events was severely wounded. Col. Hewley wounded in throat. Col. Slocum of the 2d R. I., and Capt Lewis of the 1st reported killed. Gov Sprague had his horse shot under him. Maj Ballow of the R. I. was severely wound in the thigh and hand by a connon ball. Warhisgto5, July 22. . After the latest information was re ceived from Ccntreville at 7,20 last night a series of events took place in the in tensest degree disastrous. Many con- J I .. wn n.or.lant Kill t t V. orO . . 1 is enough, known to warrant tne statement we have suffered a degree which has cast gloom over the remnants of the army, and excited the deepest melancholy through out Washington. .. The carnage was tremendously heavy on both sides ; but on our side it is fnght- .ful. ... We were adrancing, and taking their : masked batteries gradually but surely, driving the enemy towards Manassas Junction, when the enemy seemed to have .been re-inforced by Gen. Johnston, who it is understood, took command, and im mediately commenced driving us back, when a panic amoung our troops sud-, denly occurred, and a regular stampede took place. - ! It is thought that Gen. McDowell un- dertook to make a stand at or near uen treville, but the panic was so frightful that the whole army became demoralized end it was impossible to check them at cither Centerville, or Fairfax C. H. .The retreat was kept up until the men facilitate their travel. Gen. McDowell was iu the rear of the retreat, exerting himself to rally his men, but without practical success. The latter part of the army it is saidmade their retreat in order. His orders on the field did not at all times reach those for whom they were intended. It is suppos ed the force sent out against our troops consisted, according to a prisoner's state ment, of thirty thousand men, including a largi number of cavulry. He further says that owing to reinforce ments from Richmond, Strasburg and other points the enemies effective force was 80.000 men. Aoccrding to the state ment of two of the Fire Zouave3 they have Dnly about 200 men left from the slaughter which while the 69th and other regiments, frightfully suffered in killed and wounded. The number cannot now be known. Sherman's, Carlisle's, Grif fin's and the West Point Batteries were taken by the enemy, and the eiyht seige thirty two pound rifled cannon. It is sup posed all the provision train belonging to us saved by being driven brck. It is supposed here to-day that Gen Mansfield wiH take command cf the fortifications on the other side of the river which are able it is said by military engineers to hold them against any force the enemy way bring against them. Large rifled cannon and mortars are being rapidly sent over and mounted. An ofiiceTs, just from Va. 10 1-2 re ports that the road from Centerville to the Potomac is strewed with stragglers. The troops are resuming the occupation of the fortifications and entrenchments on the line of the Potomac. In addition to those reported yesterday Col WTilcox the gallant commander of a brigade was killed; also, Capt McCook, a brother of Ccl McCook of Ohio. The city this morning is in the most in tense excitement, wagons are constantly arriving bringing the dead and wounded. Both telegraph and steamboat commu nication with Alexandria is suspended to day to the public. The following is the account of the beginning of the panic which resulted so disastrously to our troops. All our millitary operations went swimmingly and Col Alexandria was about erecting a position accross Bulls run when a terrific consternation broke out among the teamsters who had incauliouslp advanced immediately after the body of the army, and lined the War ranton road. Their consternation was shared in by numerous civilians who were on the ground. Soon our whole army was in retreat.. For a time a fear ful panic prevailed which communicated itself to the vicinity of Centerville and every available conveyance was seized upon. Several similar alarms had oc curred on previous occasions, caused by a change of position of our batteries, and it was most likely that this alarm was owing to the same fact. The Retreat Confirmed.

Iinmediatelp upon the confirmation of the retreat of the Union forces, the 13th N Y Regiment, whose term of enlist ment expires shortly, unanimously signed a paper to re-enlist for three years. Gen Banks leaves for Gen Patterson's column to-morrow morning. The city continues in great excitement. Offers are being made of regiments here, to keep the mere disorderly secessionists quiet. The presence of a considerable milita ry force may be required to keep the rebels in Baltimore quiet in their present delirium of iov. Likenesses of Beaure gard are sold on the street. A heavy and steady rain prevented a large congre gation of the people. Paymaster McChail of the U. S. A., just from Washington, contradicts the re ports that Sherman's and Burnside's bat teries were captured by the rebels. The Unionists in Baltimore, very gen erally attribute the defeat of the Union forces to the inactivity of Patterson, who, it is reported, was a dozen times official ly telegraphed to engage Gen. Johnson at any odds. On Sunday about thirty arrests were made for attempts to incite mobs. Gov Sprague's bravery, the whole day challenged universal odmiration. Aided by Mr. Gastin, paymaster of the N. Y. 14th, he succeeded in bringing some de gree of order out cf the confusion. The number of the killed and wounled has been greatly exaggerated. McDowell behaved with the greatest bravery, but it was unavailing to arrest a panic in the rear. The Fire Zouaves fought like devils. The N. Y. 71st, and 27th; the Minne sota and Maine Regiments did well, and were the praise of ail. They were mow ed down like grass, by tha batteries upon weich they advanced. The flag of the Minnesota Regiment was completely rid dled. Washington, 22. The ammunition of our artillery had been expended in the contest, and as the cassions were rushing at full speed to the rear, for a new supply, the movement was construed by the teamsters and civilians, into a retreat. A panic among them oc curred. They ran for their horses, with out waiting to ascertain the fact cut the traces of the wagon horses, and commen ced a a precipated re'reat. The censter- reached their' regular encampment. A! nation this created, was communicated to great portion coming inethc entrencn- A large runnier of the troops in the retreat; fell by the wayside from exhaus- the soldiers, in the rear of the column; the very moment a charge cf fresh caval ry from Manasses wns made upon them.

Boats are arain running to Alexandria. The Fire Zouaves wiil rendezvous at the head quarters of the 12ih regiment to day, when some accurate knowledge cf their loss will be ascertained.

Commercial, says that Maj Harris left with a flag of truce, to-day, to recover the body of Col. Cameron. The assistant surgeon at the central hospital, says that the killed and wounded will not exceed 600. The Government is hourly receining oners of regiments, which are accepted. Misfortune has had no disheartening ef fect. 18 cannon were lost in the retreat. New York, 23d. An Englishman, who was present at all the Crimean battles, said their fighting had been of the most splendid kind, Such charges as the Fire Zouaves and N.

The folowing dispatch from the Sec. of War, has just been received by the Union Defence Committee, of this City, dated Washington, July 22nd.

The rebels did not follow our. retreating forces after they passed Centreville. v Grafton, Va., July 15. A train arrived here this morning, bringing the body of Gen Garnett, late commander of. the. rebel forces in West ern Virginia. The rebels vere pursued to Laurel Hill by Gen Morris' command, consisting of the 14th Ohio, and 7th and 9th Indiana regiments, at Garrick's Fork, eisrht miles south of the town of St. George. Gen Garnett attempted to rally his forces, when a sharp skirmish ensued, in which Garnett was killed, and 20 of his men left dead on the ground, besfdes many- bodies being carried off. The rebels were completely routed, and scat tered in all directions. Forty loaded wagons and all their horses and camp equipage fell into our hands.

Jagar, of the federal troops, were wounded by rebels and subsequent ly hung. Lt. Jagar who had been wound ed in the arm a day or two since by se cessionists near Wellsville, was being taken to his Sharpe's home in Danville in a buggy, when they were fired upon by parties concealed in the bushes by the wayside and Col. Sharpe was wounded in the back. Their horse took fright and ran to Martinsburg, where they were soon after overtaken by a party of mount ed rebels, and in spite of their entreaties that their lives be spared, they were both taken out and hung. Col. Sharpe was Captain of the Mont gomery Home Guards, a prominent law yer of Danville, and formerly State Sen ator. Washington, July 22.

Then up with our let it stream on the air! Though our fathers areco'd in their graves, They had hands that could strike, they had sculs that could dare, And their sons were not born to be slaves! That Certificate of Delegate As we have before stated. and as is known to most people in Nebraska a cer tificate was given Mr. Morton, after can vassing the votes presented to the Gov ernor as trie official vote of Nebraska. Everybody who knew anything whatever of the region of country known as the "Northern Precient" part of L'Eau-qui-CourtJ knew there were not one dozen voters within the boundaries claimed, and not even an organized precinct from which, was .returned for Morton one hun dred and twenty-two votes ail the rotes claimed io have been cast ! The Gov ernor took the position that without posi tive evidence to the contrary, all tne votes as returned must be counted, and a cer tificate given in accordance with the foot ings. Thus Morton secured a certificate. Shortly afterwards it was made known to Gov. Black that the returns from the " Northern precinct" was a fraud the positive evidence was furnished (and when Mr. Morion or his friends want that evidence produced, it will be forth coming.) He therefore, as he should have done, revoked Mr. Morton's certificate, and gave Mr. Daily the following: I, Samuel W. Black, Governor of Ne braska, dp hereby certify that an election held in the said Territory on Tuesday, the 9th day of October 1S60 for Delegate to Congress of the United States for the Thirty-Seventh Congres?, Samuel G. Daily was duly and Awfully elected Del egate to the said Congress; and whereas, after the canvass of the votes at the said election, a certificate of election was giv en to J. Sterling Morton he having ap parently the 'highest number of votes having nominally fourteen votes more than Samuel G. Daily, the only opposing candidate; and it being a fact that one hundred and twenty-two votes were coun ted to the said J. Sterling Morton in what is called the Northern precinct of L'eau-qui-court county that being the whole number of votes returned and claimed as cast therein at the election a foresaid. And it further appearing conclusively since the date of the said canvass and certificate issuea to tna saia J. csteriing: Morton that the election in the said northern precinct of L'eau-qui-court was a fraud throughout, and should have been rejected and not counted which would have shown a legal maprity of one hun dred and eis-ht votes in favor of the said Samuel G. Daily. Therefore, I, Samuel W. Black, Gov ernor of Nebraska Territory do hereby revoke the certificate of election issued, a3 aforesaid to J. Sterling Morton as Del egate to the Thirty-Seventh Congress, and do cerify that Samuel G. Daily was, according: to a fair and just count, duly elected Delegate to the Thirty-Seventh Congress of the United States for Ne braskft Territory. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the ereat seal of the Territory to be affixed. Seal Witness my hand at Omaha ihis 29th day of April A. D. 1S61. SAMUEL W. BLACK Gov. of Nebraska. We have the first man to hear yet, Democrat or Republican, who does not say that Gov. Black under all the circum stances done just what he should have done. They honor him for finally secur ing for them the man of their choice. We rather conclude that " Buffalo" "Shorter" and "L' Eau-qui-court" opera tions in Nebraska are about played out. 'Three teams just from Denver report that large bodies of Cheyens, Arrapahoes Kiowas came down the Tlatte about 200 miles and then struck across to the Re publican ; said they were ccming down to fh: Pawnees. A rumor was afloat yesterday morning that the Pawnees, Potawattcmies and Otoes were going to fight them. The Otoe and Missouri Indians carry with them those small flags you sent them and have them fluttering wherever they camp. . . .- "A runner came in late last night and reports 6000 Cheyens, Arrappahoes and Kiowas within 30 miles of the Pawnees. The Pawnees rre said to bo 3S00 strong. "Since writing the foregoing a scouting party from Pawnea county and Kansas passed here.

Just as going to press we were handed the following .account of a lamentable accident at Table Rock in Pawnee county: "In the midst of life we are in death!" Never have we felt this more sensibly than this morning, for in an instant on yester day (the 24th, ) Mrs. Clayton, wife of Anam Clayton, of Table Rock, was snatched from her husbanlj children and friends! She had stepped into the mill, (of which her husband has charge,) was too near the shaft, when her dress was blown against it and in another instant she was in eternity, for no human hand could save her after her clothing became entangled in the revolving shaft. This heart-rending catastrophe has thrown the deepest gloom over the neigh borhood and to her family the loss i3 ir reparable. II. The Western Indians. A number of scouting parties are now out west looking after the Indians; one parly from Nemaha county, one from Otoe, one from Pawnee, one from Gage, one from the Otoe Reservation and one from Marble Rapids, Kansas. The la test intelligence w have is from Major Baker at the Otoe Reservatioe. He re ports the Otoes and Missourias now quiet, and confidently believes, disposed to re main loyal. We have no doubt of this being the case, provided they are let alone by and kept free from rebel influences. The reports are authentic that large numbers of Indians of various tribes are It nrinrinator wa3 one J. Sterling Mor- - O ton. Even in thi3 case the accused is, cr was the "head and front" of the party in the Territory "the great exponent" and if it should now, or at any time hereafter appear that there be "infamy attached to it," why, settle your own family quarrels among yourselves gen tlemen; dont call oa outsiders to "clear" them up for you. But to the point. 1st. It was made, we believe to "ap pear" particularly forcible to 'uhe Gov ernor to his Excellency S. Black, that fraud had'been committed at the last gen eral election" when the testimony for contest was being taken. The testimo ny most conclusive wa3 that of those who were supporters cf Mr. Morton still in the family, you see, given, too, under the solemnity of an oath. Per haps the Yews would like to see some of that testimony, and some other "certifi cates" in print! We propose erelong to give a few "broken doses" pro bono publico. 2. The Board of Canvassers knew that "a fraud had been committed" at the time it decided to give Morton a certifi cate. 3. By reference to a copy of the cer cate of Mr. Daily in another column, the "exact date of the 'latter date' cer tificate" will be seen, and the Netrs can decide for itself whether it "was while he was Governor, or after Gov. Saun ders bad been qualified." Morton's Defalcation only 3,000 As retiring Secretary Morton took with him the books of the office, there has been no means by which the exact amount of his defalcation could be ascer tained. The following is from the Wash ington correspondent of the New York Temes, by which it will be seen the a mount is placed at S5.000 00. Add to this the public printing usurpation ; his regular salary, and legitimate perquisites and the conclusion must be that "Mort" has had rather a "fat take." The idea of those "cavernous pockets" about which the pseudo Delegate used to talk so flu ently, must have originated in practical experiments as to capaciousness. "There is but one contested seat that I have heard of, which is from Nebras ka, and is between S. G. Daily, the pres ent member, and one J. Sterling Mor ton, a Breckinridge Democrat, and an oftice-holder under the late Administra tion of James Buchanan, and who, like nearly all of that class of patriots, has a small balance of some five thousand dol lars standing against him on the books cf the Treasury Departmeut, which he has failed to pay over to his successor, or to satisfactorily account for.

On Friday three men were killed at Rock Creek on the Millitary Road about 30 or 35 miles west of this. All we know is that the difficulty originated in the distribution or division of a wagon load of stuff from the Missouri river, and it is supposed it was one of the three wagon3 above mentioned. During the difficulty some secessionists put a rope around a Union man's neck, and dragged him.some distance toward a tree with the avowed rturnose of hanErinsr him. He managed to escape. They then gave him notice to leave in a certain time or be hung. At the end of the time five of them went to his house to see if he had gone, when he commenced firing upon them and killed three Cut of the five; the other two making a hasty retreat. A great many of the settlers on the Blue and its tributaries have mooved their families and stock away, and nearly all the i est are preparing to do the same. The'excitement is intense. The settlers remaining are going to work to build block houses up and down the river. Ottoes are there to fight the Pawnees. Be this as it may, there has been so far as we have heard, no fighting among themselves yet, and but little hunting done. Some ten days since three wagon loads of of arms, and ammunition went from the Missouri river through western Kansas, braska, since their first organization, the readers of your paper wiJi doubtless be satisfied with briefly a brief notice of it. A certificate of election was issued by Gov. Samuel W. Black to Morton. Mr Daily served a notice of contest, and tes timony was taken which demonstrated so clearly that a poll of 122 fradulent votes had been imposed upon the Governor, westward in the direction of the Repub- that he promptly revoked the certificate lican. In addition, well known and des perate secessionists are m constant com munication with the Indians out there. The Otoe Indians acknowledge that they were approached as to joining the South ern Confederacy and that a majority of the warriors were at one time very strongly in favor of joining the expedi tion. The settlers out in t: at region who have a better opportunity of knowing than we here, are greatly alarmed and the most of them are leaving and others Drenarinsr for defense.

We i-aution the people however to slacken not in their watchfulness, contended that he was a creat libel on human nature." "Drunk almost all the time. His debauchery was known to all" "As a pettifogging lawyer and hair splitting Judge he was as celebrated as he was a besotted man !" "His speeches, which were a singular compound of ego tism, slander, high-sounding words, and transparent sophisms, attracted attention bytheir novelty !" "His course through out as Governor, was marked by the most flagrant disregard of law, and of ficial oath, as well as the most glaring favoritism." "The most earnest prayer of every true man in the Territory is that Gov. Black will never more polute the soil of Nebraska with his footsteps." The writer further says that he ha3 been possessed of "a full knowledge of the character of Gov. Black, and aware that he would shrink from no act of dis- "As the Brownville Advertiser is the only Republican paper in the Territory that has pretended to offer any sort of defence of the miamous vilhany by which the elected Delegate, having the certifi cate given him by the lawful and duly T-i i r ri f "l organizea roaru oi uauvassers, is chea ted out of his seat, it is well to propound one or two queries to JUr. r urnas, tne man, and not the Editor, for it is not de nied that some editors have a sort of professional exaggeration that sometimes borders upon falsehood and downright lying. Let Mr. Furnas as a man answer these questions, and clear, if possible, the sec ond certificate affair, of the infamy at tached to it, and show how it is that by a "one man power" the people of Ne braska are defrauded of their rights. We wish to know 1. When did it appear to the Govern or to his Excellency, S. W. Black that a fraud had been committed at the last general election ? 2. Did the Board of Canvassers decide that a fraud had been committed ; if so. when ? 3. When did Black give Daily the sec- certificate. Was it while he was Gover nor, or was it arter Gov.

These things the editor of the Adver tiser has assumed by his article to know. Will he enlighten the public thereto? JV. C. News. Certainly, Bro.

We are no ex ponent of the principle ; were the vic tim of its exercise on a certain occasion. honor!" And yet with a full knowledge of such a character the same paper ha3 been exhorbitant in its laudations of Gov Black for the past two years. What a comment such admissions if true are upon the party just goue out of power. We rather think "Pop" wrote the arti cle iu the JVebraskian and Clark failed SheriU Sale. C. C. JoLnon, 1 t.
