The greet Tennessee champion of I American Liberty and Constitutional ; rights, has been heard from again, in the U. S. Senate. On Saturday week, when the joint resolutions approving tho acts of the President before Congress convened, were op fur disenssion, wo find the bold Senator, Andrew Johnson, delivering a speech. The following is a part of It : — The Preaident was obliged to act as be did, to save the government, and this is a very onpropitions time to assail the government, wheu armed band* of traitors are actually in the Geld trying to overthrow iu The increase of the uruiy und navy was justified by the great plea of necessity. Bui how does the case stand uow. when we are called <m to support Ike government ? Who -will find fault with the President for doing just what Congress ought to do ? Why wot come ferwnrd and support the government ? No ! The fact is 'oo spparent that we had enemi s to the government here last winter, and in my opinion we have got enemies to the gov-, ernment hero now— that we have got those here who make long pathetic speechei in favor of compromise. But : the Seuator from California, Mr. Latham, showed conclusively that the thing j the traitors most feared last year was 1 ■compromise, and a great effort was i mfde to get ont of Congress before the compromise could be made. i • The argument lias been mado that the ■ free Btwtes would get the power, and then amend the Constitution so as to destroy the institution or slavery; licnee | the south mnst not wait till, the fatal riay came. Then eight States withdrew, •nil we reached a point when " the free States had a majority and the power to ' < amend the Constitution so si to over- ■ throw the instltation of slavery. Now, j , what was done then ! Why, we ptssed . an cmendmsnt to- the Constitution that no amendment *h< aid he made to the • Constitution that would give any power to legislate on the subject of slavery, j Talk about compromise! bow can we i get any guarantee more binding than that? This warf dona when the freeji States had the power, and it places »la- 1 very completely beyond the control of j r Congress. What more can be asked ? t Why don't the 8tatcs who talk of com- ; promise cope forward and accept this ; ' offer ? B«t oo ; inatrart of*it they pass j vrdinnurr* to violate tho Constitution 1

■ and take the States out. What else did Congress do when lbc free States bad j the power f They came forward and j passed three territorial bills, Mid none j of them hud any slavery puhibition, and declared that no law ahull lie pass- ' ed by territorial legislatures impair- j ing the rights of private properly. r Cun th^re be anything more conclusive? Now, take this amendment to tlie Constitution and the territorial bills, [ and what else is left of the slavery ques- : tion ? Vet the Union must be broken up! Some urn sincere in the compromise, but others come lifrc simply to moke it a pretext, in the hope that it will be rc- ' fused ; and then on the refusal, these : Stales will be declared ont of the Union. A Senator from Georgia once said, 1 "wheu traitors become numerous enough, ' treason will lie respectable. " I'erhaps it is so now; byt, God Icing willing,, let litem be as nimijui* tin-y please, lie commended a anr nguinst t mi tors und | treason against the government framed - by onr fathers, find we intend to contin- ; Ue it lo the end. [Applause in the gal- : hries.] Novv we arc in tlie midst of a I I civil war; blood has been spilled and , j life sacijficed. Who commenced jt? > Yet now We are toid that wc must come forward and separate the Union, nnd make peace with- traitor* and rebels ! Let them ground arras, obey the laws i and ackiiowledgo tlie Constitution. ! Then, perbnps, we will talk about com-' ! promise. Tlie best compromise is the i i Constitution of the United Stales. M Mr. Johnson continued referring to I j the polities! rigt.ls of the South. In i ! South Carolina a mail must 'have five . hundred acres mid trn negroes to be eli- , : gibte tu be sent to tho lower bouse of the Stale Legislature. That would be a ! poor place tor him to gel his rights.; — He was Tree to soy. if 4»err, he would j not Ins eligible, and lie doubled if even i : the Senator from Kentucky would be elj tgible^ lie quoled from various south;eni document*. and rpntcndrd that it | was plain that the design was to change | the character nud nature cf the govern- j ■ j mcut, nml errrt a gar at slave empire. — i The issue i* now fably pinde up, and all ; those who favor it free government must ! stand by the Constitution The Senator from Kentucky is exceedingly sensij live on the violation of the Constitution I till it serins that the violation of the j Constitution for tho preservation of tlie j government is more horrible than the vi- i ■' olation for its destruction. In all his nr- | gnmeut against violations of the Con- ! aiitutinn not one word has heun said ; | against those who trampled the Const! • j J tuiiob and law under foot, ! The Senator enumerates various viola, i ; irons of the Constitution, and asks, why 1 : a!F this/ The auswer must be apparent j to all. South Carolina seceded, and at- ; tacked our forts, and fired on Fort Sum- 1 jter. This was a piactical act of war, and it is the constiuiionn! dnty of the j J President to resist it; yet the Seuator j j from Missouri (Mr. Polk) coulends that j the President made the war. Who ( ; struck the fust blow ? After Port Snm- ' tcr hud bee* surrendered, a sereuaditj was given to JrffN Pavifl at Moiitgome- ' ry. and his Secretary of State said that j no one eoatd tell when the war, tJii» dug j rommenctd, would end. Then the .so- j i called President of the soulhcrtiVrcafi-d. eracy issued a proclamation for oar Hun- | J red thousand men. And yet great IcomplaintB are made here about the j j President of the United States issuing a ! proclamation fur seventy-live thousand : men, and also great talk ohsut a viola- 1 j lion of law. Then this some Jefferson ! Davis issued letters of marque, iu vie la- | tion even of tho psspdo-Governmout | over which he presided— gave permission | W freebooters everywhere. Then waa ! | the President of the United States per- ! J fectly justified in issuing hie proclumaj lion of blockade to protect the citizens ! j of the United Slates. And this same j Davis, who owed bi« education and ever i ! rylhing to the government of the United '

I Stales — who wop all the honor lie hail , I I otlder the government— -now. with un1 1 sheathed sword, is in ann* ngaiiift It. — •I If. lie should seize the Capitol, he , thought that he (Johnson) would not • i sleep quiet. What few uights lie had . yet remaining would be belter protected i . if lie were located in some distant posi- ' i tion. But he believed there were others , • who feel very comfortable * lu the lost Pi esidentiul contest he had . supported out* of the distinguished suns i of Kentucky because ho thought that h« i was a Union tuun. Where is hi* eloquent voice now for Union ? Would to , . God he wag as good a Union mini to- ■ day as he (Johnson) .'Thought he was when he supported lihn for the Prcndeiii cy. lie referred to tho outrages eomI milted on the Union hicn iu eustTeii ; ; ncMec, when the State was delivered 1 over to secession iu defiance of the peo- ■ pie. The State Constitution nnd law I ( was violated at every step secession i took. Ho demanded that the govcrn- • mvnt should protect the loyal men in Tennessee, and give them anus. The i rebels had even stopped the passes iu the mountains that Johnson should not ' go bnck to carry arms to the people of the Slate. lie wanted to carry deliverance to this brave people, who were down-troddeu and oppressed. It may i i be too lalc) we may be overcome ^ they . | may trample us under foot -and change \ our mountains to sep ale lire*; but rhey , j sliull never drive us Iroin the Union; no, i never ) The jicople of the villnges nmt towns love the government, but they have no nrtus. Ail they n*k is that the ( government will give llit-m the mean* ; then they will defend themselves And if finally conquered we intend to take the Hag of freedom and place it on the summit of the loftiest and most majestic I mountain, to mark a spot where the Goddess of Liberty lingered nnd wept for tlie last time before she took leave of a people once prosperous; free aud pyj But the cause of freedom must triI umph. Can the American people give up the graves of Washington and Jacki son, and let tho flag of disunion Host | over the graves of those patriots ? No 1 i The people will rise in their might nud grandeur, ond prosecute the war; not 1 for subjugation, nor against any of the math, but to maintain the supremacy of | the government and the GtfSstltniion. j Tiiis government cannot, must not fail. | What though the flag was sulMeld the ; other day ? If necessary, purify It. It | will be bathed in a nation's blood. Tbc j nation mnst bo redeemed, and the cause. ! must triumph on which rests the hope | of freedom nnd a civilized world, j Mr. Johnson closed with nn appeal to the government to save them from the i | ruin of the most corrupt and direful j conspiracy ever seen in the world incidents or the bull bon battle, A Dejitrate Hand-to-Hano Contest. J j — On Saturday night, before the battle, two of the Minnesota boys took it into I their heads to forage a little, for atnusei raent as well as eatables. Striking ont -| from their encampment into ilia forest, ! i.they followed a narrow road (some (#s- i tnece," until, taming a bend, li>c Secesj tion pickets appeared not fifty yarils disiuiil. The parties discovered each J other simultaneously, and at oucc level- ( j ed their rifles aod fired. Two of the Confederate? fell dead, and one of the | Miunesoiiami, the other rlso falling, but with the design of* trapping tfccotlicr three, who at once caiue up, as they ! mid, to "examine the d — n Yankees." Drawing his revolver, the ttiiinesolinn ' found ho had but two bvrels loaded, ( end w;tli these lie shot two of the pickI eu. Spriniug to bis feet, and snatchI I ing bis saber bayonet from bis rifle, be ' ' lunged at \be survivor, who proved to ■ j be a stalwart lieutenant, armed only j 1 1 with a heavy sword. The superior ' skill of the Southerner was taxed to the utmost in parrying tlie vigorous threats j 1 1 and lunges of the brawny Lumberman ; '

and for several minutes the contest I was waged In mic|}c\ broke* only by the j i rustle ol the los»g grass by the roadside j and tlie clash of tbelqjreapaiiK. Feign- j ing fatigue, the Miunesotiuii fell loaek a i few steps, and as his adversary cfiised j upon him with Bcut-likc spring, he let ! ! his saber come down upon tlie bead of ; ! Secesb.-and the game was np. Coilcc- ; ling the arms of the Secessionists, be re tupped to the coinp, where he obtain- ! nl assistance, nud buried the ftodics of j bis companion und their foe* in one : • grave a Zoimve in rut: listnT'i Csur. — ' ' When the Fire Zouaves stormed the masked battery at Bulls Bun, and was . forced to full bock by the grmpesliot and j cavalry eharge, one of them was stunned i by a blow from u saber, and fell almost under one of the enemy 'a guns. The Secessionist* swarmed around him like bees, but feigning death, iu the excite- ; went he who unnoticed, and when u sally , ' was made managed to crawl buck into: tlie thicket inside the Confederate lines, j Here he waited some time for an onpor- 1 lunitj to ijSeape, but finding none, con- ! eluded he 'would make the bes: of a bad j ! bargain, and if he was lost would hnve , ' a little revenge beforehand. Hastily i stripping tbe body of a Confederate j near by, be donned bis uniform, and j seizing a rifle mad? his vrny-to tho in- ( trenchtnents, where he joined tlie Seces- I ■ionists, and, watching his opportunities, | succeeded in piekiui; off several »f their j most prominent officers whenever tlic.v [ : advanced out upon the troop*. Here j he remained some lime, until, thinking 1 it best to leave before lii« di*g#i»A{ should Ire discovered, lie joined a'partv j who were about to charge tipog our for- j ees. and was, to his grulilieii>Ton, again j raptured, but this time (ly 1iis own men. : Our flre proved very destructive to the i ' enemy, and cnt dowiivlbcir men by iiuii- j dreds. In the balteryv where the Zou- ' ares fell lie nftcrward ggunted -thirty five dead bodies lying close together, and i the bushes were full of the wouiuled i who had crawled off to get out of the ; way.
