Daring, or shortly before the fight at
Rich Mountain, John N. Hughes, of Bev-
c.'r, ivlio represented tbe county of llan-
j.jiph in tbe Richmond Convention, was
I 'ltd bv tbe rebels, under the followingcircumstances: He was going from Bever-
jr to join Fegram's force, and upon ap-
jlroacbiug the rebel pickets, they raised
their guus to fire. Hughes, mistakingibem for Cn-le Sam's men, exclaimed:
Don't aboot. I'm it Northern men.".
That iras enough, and instantly about thir.
tr guns wore fired at him, tearing him all
tj pieces. Hughes wus elected to tbe Con¬vention »3 a I'niou mao, liut succumbed to
the presure towards the last, and warmlyespoused Ibe cause of secession.

Reported Exclusively for the DailyIntelligencer.COXGRESSIOXAL.
Washington. July 17.House..The Speaker announced the
following gintlemen as a special commit¬tee on tlie subject of n general bankruptlaw : .Messrs. Ruscoe. Coukliug. Kinchins.Tliouias, of Mass., Xoell nod McKtiight-
Henry Mavt of Md., app.-ared and ivasqualified by taking the usual oath to support the Constitution.
Sir. Holinan, of Ky., introduced a reso¬lution authorizing the Select Committeeheretofore appointed, to examine into 'lieWar Department contracts; to extend theirinquiries into the facts and circumstancesof all coutr: cts and agreements made orhereafter to be made, prior to a final of theCommittee by or with any department ofthe Government; that the' Committee haveleave to sit during the rectss at such timesand places as they may deeui uecessnrv,and that they be empowered to employ a
stenographer or clerk ; that the Sergeant-at-Arins attend the meetings in person orby deputy, to serve all subpiEtias: thnt til'sSpeaker be authorized aud directed to is¬sue subpoenas at the request of the Com¬mittee, as in cases during the session ofCongress.
Mr. Kellogg, of 111., opposed the exten¬sion of the inquiry, which could be author¬ized only on the assumption that some¬thing is wrong. He was not disposed toestablish an advisory and controlling board,in effect to have eight insttad of one headof a department. There was nothing towarrant putting the Secretary of War un¬der the ban of the committee. He was op¬posed to a roving committee without limi¬tation as to time and place. He believedthat the Secretary of War was faithfullyaud honestly attending to the duties of hishigh and responsible office.
Mr. Roscue Conkling. of X. V., brieflyopposed the resolutions, principally be¬cause he was averse to the appointment ofa roving committee.
.Mr. llolman. of lud., said the resolutionwas reported by direciion of the Commit¬tee and had his concurrence. He arguedthat it implied uo censure of the Adminis¬tration.Mr. Dawes, of Mass., as a member of
the Committee, said although he had notconsented to serve on it, yet he would tjotshield or whitewash any improper trans¬action, whether of this or any other Ad¬ministration. The country is tuil of ru¬mors, and benre' requires investigation..As the House has expressed the desire toadjourn 011 Friday, the time for investiga¬tion must necessarily be extended heyondthe present sessiou. Was it not better thatthe facts should be inquired into where thecontracts had been made, rather than at
great expense and trouble, bring the wit¬nesses to Washington ? If the House be¬lieve that the committee will not abusetheir power, the resolution ought to bepassed.
Mr. Edwards, of N. H, was opposed tothe resolution and to the object for whichhe committee was raised. It would bebetter to wait until some authentic or re¬
sponsible charges were made, before suchinquiries should be made. They shouldnot act on vague suggestions that possiblysomething may be wrong, especially at a
time when it was necessary to exert nil theenergies of the Government to put downthe rebellion. Besides, there was an out¬standing committee on the expenditures ofthe War Department, to whom the inquiryproperly belonged.
Mr. Kellogg again urged his objection tothe resolution, 0:1 the ground that therewere no specific charges.
Mr. Van Wyck, of N. V., said therewere specific charges of fraud hy contrac¬tors He understood that, without doubt,within two short months, there had been a
system of plunder which, for audacity andwickedness, had never been surpassed inthis connection He referred to the exces¬sive pay for beef, huts, etc. He charged 110
DJhirimcut with complicity, but he didsa|Jphere were men who had taken advan¬tage of the necessities of the times, andplundered the Treasury.The resolution was passed.yeas 81,
nays 42.A bill from the Committee on Com¬
merce, fixing the compensation of officersof the revenue marine, was passed.The House went into committee on the
tariff bill.The House then went into committee on
a bill to provide for an increase of the rev¬
enue from imports, to pay the interest onthe public debt, and for other purposes.
Mr. Vallandigham, of Ohio, offered a
substitute, namely, to revise the tariff actof lgiiO, and to lax the articles in the freelist therein, ten per centum, with the ex¬
ception of tea, coffee, fire arms, etc., forthe loyal States. He briefly advocated hisproposition,
Mr. Stevens, of Pa., opposed the substi¬tute, for it was well known that the act oflnr>I, even iii time of profound peace, didnot produce a sufficient revenue to defraythe expenses of the Government. In relationto dutie- on tea and coffee, 11s proposed illthe bill under consideration, they wouldtint be continued beyond the exigencywhich now demands them. He had no
doubt that the pecple would not object tothese duties during this righteous struggleto preserve the nation which has protectedthem.
Mr. Covode. of Pa., opposed the tax on
sugar, contending, from the amount on
hand, that the Government would derivono revenue from it during the present war.
The holders themselves would be onlybenefitted.
Mr. Cox moved to strike out the tax ontea 15 cents, and on coffee 5 cents per
! poumi.Mr. Mor.-ill, of Vr.. said he would vote
for :lie bill, although it did uot meet hiscordial support.
Without concluding action on the billthe Committee rose. Adjourned.Senate..Mr. Latham, of Cal., intro-
duced a bill to procure contractd for thespeedy transmission of munitions of war
to the Pacific coast. Referred to the select! committee on the Pacilic Railroad,j .Mr. Pearce, of Md., presented a mcmo-rial from the police commissioners now
; confined at Fort McHenry, who wero ar¬
rested and confined by order of Major-General Banks. The memorialists solemn¬ly declare they would ba.'e dischargedtheir duties impartially nod in obediencoto the laws and constitution, and that anyevidence to the contrary is false. Theystate that the grounds set up hy Gen.Banks is based on no authority at all, andthat Marshal Kane is a man ol integrityand worth, and that no body of men arc
less liable to the charge of unlawful com¬
bination. ' They submit that tbe proclama¬tion by which they were arrested was no
warrant of law and ask the interpositionof Congress in their behalf.
Mr. Pearce Slid the gentlemen were
known to him and he believed ibem to beot the highest integrity and faithful to theconstitution. He did not believe thatproof could be adduced ajiaiuat them. Thememorial was referred to the Committeeon the Judiciary.
Mr. llale, of N. H. introduced a bill CoI increase the medical eorp» of the Navy.
I.Mr. Anti onv offered a resolution fjr the
' establishment of a Naval Academy on< Narragansett Buy. He urged io a few rc-mar&s tbe «ppropria:encss of tbe site for
"-Salubrity of climate and locality and mar-. itiaie character of the peoplo.

M.to-day, though that course on his part isnot unlooked for.The division of Col. Hunter proceeded
doubtless by the Georgetown and I.eesburgTurnpike, via. Langley, to the neighbor¬hood of Vienna and there formed a junc-tion with that of Gen. Tyler this morn-

You bare probably been advised of tbegreat activity of the 24 Kentucky Regi¬ment since its putting foot tipnn tbe soil ofVirginia, an activity which has been at¬tended with such fortunate results thattrailing to starve tbem out begins to looklike.fallacy.-is it certainly is in WesternVirginia. .My last hurried letter left us inoccupancy of tbe troublous town of Guyan-dottc. We remained there but a few hours,a number of companies moving out to
Camp Crittenden, as it was i h-Ntencd, thesame afternoou the town was captured..C.tmp Crittenden was situated on theCharleston ronj, about two miles fromGuyandotte, and was pitched on tbe wheatfield of Col. Everett, uow in the Secessionarmy. His mansion adjoined tbe field, andhis family was oue of the few of tdnt per¬suasion that did not flee when we lauded.Our position there was not a strong one,
and much apprehension was felt the firstnight concerning an attack from the rebelsencamped some sir miles distant, at CabellC. II. (or Barboaiville, as tiie towu is ,
called.) Our rneu were aroused by thelong roll half a dozen times before daviight,mid formed in liue of battle on the parade !ground, and the pickets alarmed by strag- .
glTs through tbe adjoining wooded hills, ffired their j;uus and withdrew to camp.No euemv appeared, however, and the next
day our position was made comparatively I
secure, by the arrival of the balance of theregiment, whicu evacuated Guyandotte,' |leaving a small detachment to bold Ibeplace.Ouco encampcd, scouts and skirmishing I
parties were conatuntly sent out. Of allthe small detachments of infantry that leftcamp to reconnoitre, not one returned, al¬though we were always joined tbe suu c
day by corresponding parties of cavalry, !mouutcd on secession nags left standingin stables, uneurried and unfed, or rtttnb- jling through neglected fields. The most '
scrupulous respect h«3, however, beenevinced for the property of the Unionists,whilst they iu turu cheerfully volunteer, !both their chattels and their services, iu jour advance. Colonel 'Woodruff was, inthe meanwhile, turning attention to therebel camp at liarboursville; gleaning suchinformation as he could from scouts andloyal residents. lie found they were re¬
ceiving reinforcements so rapidly, that a
most vigorous action on his part would benecessary. He could learn nothing posi¬tive concerning their number, or the mili¬tary strength of their posit.on; but heplanned an .immediate attack. Accord¬ingly, at mid night, ou the night of tbeliib, companies A, 15, D, F, and K werearoused from their slumbers, nud placedunder the command of Lieut. Col. Keif,aud, with one day's ra'ious iu their haver¬sacks, they proceeded ou their march.after a short but stirring address from Col.Woodrufi. Tile column was conducted bva .«irouc Union man, a resident of Bar-boursvilic, who had been driven thencesome weeks since.
It was proposed to make the attack at
early daylight, but the deep silence ob-served along the route, together with thehalts to send forward scouting parties, de- '
ferred their coiuiug into sight of the eneuiv juntil the sun was two hours high. When !they did catch a first glance, if there hadbeen any fear iu their composition, itwould have overpowered them at once. 'The rebels were drawn up iu liue of bat¬tle ou the brow of a high hill, apparentlyinaccessible on all sides, aud commandinga view for two miles around ot a magnifi¬cent level plain, with all its roaus in fullsight, until they dwindled into the distantforests.Near the base of the hill wound tbe
Guyandotte river, and within pistol .-hotof their position was the only bridgewhich spanned it from the side on whichwe were advancing. Our brave boys tookbut one glance and passed on.
As they neared the bringe, they discov¬ered a large body of cavalry on the roadwhich wound around the base of the hillon which the enemy was ranged, retreatingand dividing iu order to intercept out
flight.a natural inference, but. a matter ot
opinion nevertheless. The rebels veryconsiderately reserved their fire until litehead of oar column had set foot upon thebridge, aud tlieu they fired a terrific volley,killing one uian instantly, aud wounding a
number of others.To cscupe iliis terrible shelving lire, our
meu wore douole quick iut-. the coveredbridge where the bulicts pelted, pattered,mill whistled like a leaden hailstorm.They rushed ouward, however, iiutii theybaited with such a sudden shock, thai itsoul the whole column into disorder Thepi.inks of ion ini ijfe bad been removedon the opposite side, and the mule 011
which tue guide was mounted had fallenthrough, ana he b.irely escaped sharing itsdestruction, by clinging to the timbers.Tue rebels, eucouiaged oy our delay at
the fearful impediment, broke into wildshouts and cheers. Fired by their assur¬
ances of Victory, our boys could be les-trained no longer; tbey answered withterrific yells, some rim to the palhholcs ofthe bridge, and discharged tucir luuskeisat their toe. and Co. A, led by (Japt Brown,made a dash ill single lile across the barestringers and rilieis of the bridge, l»l-lowed by Company L> (Itoodwurd Guards)and the remaining companies. As theyemerged Iroui the bridge, the rebels Hank¬ed and charged lrout Irom thu mouth ofthe bndge, to tho road which encircled thebase of the hill, and sent another bittervolley ut our men, which luckily was aim¬ed too high, and did but little damage..Our men t>y this time b.td all cleared thebridge, in total disorder, but blazing awaywitb excitement, veiling and leapiug liketnadmeu. They turned suddenly up theside of the hill at a charge bujouetts. midliterally dragging themselves up by bush¬es and jutting turf. They cleared in a fewmoments, rushed at the enemy, who had,as t.'iey cooiuieuced the ascent, Ured againwith ctfeCt. It was their last volley. Atthe glistening bayonets reached the top ofthe Hill, and met their wavering ga.se, andthose yells continued, which meant, vic¬tory if there had been a thousand opposed.Thu enemy swayed for a moment, a leapwas made from their llank unit rear, audthen the whole body scattered like sparksfrom a pin-wheel, down the rear 01 thehill, streaming in every direction in thetields below, ut full speed, with white fa¬ces and au impulse ol fear which I heardcompared to the frigbt of a hundred hors¬es iu a conflagration. Our men were toolireaiuless for pursuit, but they cheered as
only men who have conquered cau clieer,and planted immediately the stars andstripes on the summit of tho bill.There was some tiring at tbe retreating
foe, and their commander, Col. ilausfield,whb hit and fell from his horse, but was
immediately seized and curried oft' by i;i«companions, as is supposed others we'ic..They left but. one 011 tbe field, an old grayhaired inuii, whom we are informed, waspressed into the service, as luutiy of hi*companions had been, lis was taken cureo! by oor troops, but be died in the after¬noon.
