In the House there , occurred a repetition of the
scene of last Thursday between Messrs. Fouke and
Conway. The latter alluded to the previous remarks
of Mr. Fouke, and submitted it to the House whether
they were not characteristic of a black-guard and a
scoundrel. Cries of order ensued, amid which Mr.
Fouke was understood to say that Mr. Conway was
a disgrace to the Union and humanity, and thus the
disgraceful scene ended. The House then passed a
bill to strike from the pension roll the names of all
persons who have takeu up arms against the govern
ment, or in any manner aided the rebellion. Mr.
Vallandigham introduced a preamble and resolution
to the effect that whereas the conduct of Captain

taken, in spite of any menace or demand of the
British government, in which course the House would
pledge its support. it was referred to the Committee
on Foreign Affaits. The consideration of the bill
authorizing the raising of a volunteer force for the

requested to inforin the Senate by what authority a
portion of the National Capitol had been converted

resolution that the Secretary ot War be requested to
furnish to the Senate copies of the orders for the
erection of barracks for Kansas troops, and support
ed it in a lengthy speech in which he severely crit
icised the acts of the government, and urged au
advance of the army. Mr. Carlile replied in an
able speech, referring especially to the propositions
which had been made for arming the slaves. If this
were done, he felt sure that the army would melt
like snow. Mr. McDougall also opposed the resolu
tion, and on motion of Mr. Grimes it was tabled
The chair announced as the committee to investigate
into the general conduct of the war, Messrs. Wade,
of Ohio, Chandler, of Michigan, and Johnson, of

came up, and Mr. Hardin , made an elaborate speech
against them, after which they were referred to the

the government contracts was then presented. The
committee have held sittings in Washington ' New
York, Boston, New Bedford, St. Louis, Cairo, Chica
go, and Harrisburg , have traveled over six thousand
miles and examined two hundred and sixty-five wit
nesses, and have spent about 55,000. The Catalina
case they have investigated, but not with any great
results. They accuse no one of dishonesty but pro
nounce the price of the charter exorbitant, and call
Capt. Comstock the agent of both parties. They
review at great length the transactions of Mr. George
D. Morgan, of New York, who was appointed go , . ern
ment agent for the purchase of vessels, and deem
the amount of his commission ' $95,000, extremely
large. The purchase of arms by General Fremont,
and the placing of $2,000,000 in the hands of the
Union Defense Committee by the Secretaries of War
and the Treasury aro condemned. The dealings of
the quartermaster's department at St. Louis, while
in charge of Major McKinstry, with the firm of
Child, Pratt, di Fox, at a profit to the latter of
$280,000 upon $BOO,OOO, receives the severest cen
sure. Mr. Van 'Wyatt, chairman of the committee,

Secretary of the Treasury to dec i ime making any
further payments!" to the parties 'interested in the
chartering of the steamer Cataliae, and pay the
claims against the government on the 5,000 carbines
purchased by Gen. Fremont at the rate of $12.50
each, and that the practice of employing irrespon
sible persons, having no official connection with the
government, is injurious to the public service and is
disapproved of by the House. The consideration of
Afs report was postponed until next Tuesday. The
Till providing for the allotment of pay certificates
ameng the volunteer forces was then passed. Mr.
Cox, from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, reported
a bill appropriating one thousand dollars as full
compensation to the owners of the British ship
Perthshire, in consequence of her detention by the
steamer Massachusetts in Jane last, for a supposed
breach of our blockade at the port of Mobile. This
Mr. Cox supported by an earnest speech, urging that
its passage was peculiarly important at the present
time. After some debate the bill was passed. Mr.
Sedgwiok, from the Committee on Naval Affairs,
reported a bill, which was passed, further to promote
the efficiency of the navy by the retiracy of officers,
So, He also reported a bill authorizing the Secre
tary of the Navy to construct twenty iron-clad
-steam gunboats, by contract or otherwise. He stated

marks in favor of it by Mr. Sumner and against it
by Mr. Cowan, was passed. Mr. Latham's resolution
asking the Secretary of State why passports were
required from passengers going from New York to
San Francisco, was also adopted.
The Committee on Elections reported to the House
that Charles H. Foster is not entitled to a seat in
Congress either from the First or Second Congres
sional District of North Carolina ; they were satisfied
that his claim was founded on imposition, as was
Mr. Foster himself. The report was adopted. The

by Messrs. Holman, Covode, Edwards, Potter, and

Vandevere, Morrill, and Crittenden. Its further

Mr. Sumner presented to the Senate, to-day
another lot of petitions for the emancipation of the
slaves. Mr. Wade also presented a petition from the
citizens of Ohio, asking that John C. Fremont be
appointed a lieutenant-general. Mr. Willey offered
a resolution that the existing war was forced upon
the country by the states in rebellion, without prov
ocation, which was designed to destroy the Union and
Constitution, and their purpose was to disown and
repudiate the fundamental principles of a republican
government, which he supported by an earnest
speech. The resolution of the House to adjourn to
the 6th of January was, after some discussion, laid

cating liquors to soldiers in the District of Columbia
was passed. Mr. Saulabnry's resolution calling on
the Secretary of War flit a copy of General Phelps'
proclamation, and by what authority it was made,

Willey, of Virginiii, then resumed his remarks on a
resolution offered by himself on.Thuraday, which de
clared secession to be reaponsible for the present war,
after which it was laid on thb table for the present.
The Senate then adjourned until Monday.
The House passed a resolution instructing the Com
mittee on Military Affairs to inquire into the ex
pediency of instructing the paymaster general of
the army to authorize the paymasters and assistant
paymasters to credit and pay all commissioned offi
cers and volunteers their pay and allowances from

bill for the confiscation of all the property of all

the rebellion , and the unconditional liberation of
their slaves, and protection of the slaves from recap
ture by rebel masters. The Bones refused to order
the previous question on the passage of the resolution,
and afterward took such action as had the effect of
laying the whole subject on the table by two major
ity. Mr. Wilson offered a resolution directing the
Committee on Military Affairs to report a bill pro
viding for an additional article of war by which all
army officers shall be prohibited from using any force
to return fugitives from service or labor, and punish
ing offenses by dismissal from the service. Pending
the consideration of the resolution, the House ad
journed till Monday.
gtEr A letter from Louisville, Ky., says
that full one-half the families in that city
have members serving in both armies, and
that in the State it is more frequent to meet
cases of that kind than families that are all
on one side. He gives the following prom.
inent cases:
"General McCoax, of the federal forces,
and the rebel BUCKNER, are own cousins.—
Ex Governor HELM, the bitterest of Secession
ists, has a brother the strongest of Unionists.
The patriotic Mayor of the city has a brother
in BUCKNER'S army. GEORGE D. PRENTICE, of
the Journal, has one son in the Union army,
while another has joined the rebels. Of two
of J. J. CRITTENDEN'S SODS, one is a Brigadier
General in the service of the United States,
I the other a Brigadier General of the rebels.
The Colonel of the advance guard of our
forces at Camp Nevin has a brother holding
the same position at Bowling Green."

THE NEWS FROM ENGLAND.
' Tire news from England thiif the British
Government have determined to demand the
release of. MASON and SLIDELL and an apology
for their arrest by Captain Wilkes, and that
instructions have been forwarded to Lord
Lyons, the British Minister at Washington, to
withdraw in case these_demands are not com
plied with, hat caused the'Most intenee.exeib3
mint _through - out the,country. We see-little
rOmin to - doubt that the Law afters or the
Crown had decided that the action of Captain
Wilkes, of the San J acinto, was not warranted
by the law of Nations, and that the British
Government has made a peremptory demand
for satisfaction. Assuming this news to be
entirely reliable, it follows that war between
England and the United States must be the
consequence unless one Nation or the other
recedes from the position it has assumed.
The President, in his message to Congress,
made no allusion to the arrest of MASON and
SLIDELL, and therefore, on this importantpoint,
the Executive of the Nation, at least, is entirely
uncommitted ; but the Secretary of the Navy
entirely approve' of the conduct of Captain
Wilkes, and it is undeniable that the public
men and the press of the country have not her.
itated to endorse the arrest of the rebel envoys
as justified by the la* of Nations. Unfortu
nately there is no middle ground about this
question—no room for negotiation and com—
promise. An explicit demand on one side for
the surrender of Mesox and Stamm, can ad—
mit of no other answer than an explicit denial
or yielding on the other, and the former alter.
native would most certainly be the signal for
the commencement of hostilities.
This momentous question of war or continu
ed peace with England should not be deter
mined by passion or prejudice, but demands
the coolest and most dispassionate considera
tion on the part of our Government. If war
with England is inevitable—if the mainte
nance of our clear rights necessarily and Erna
voidably involves us in this fearful calamity,
the Nation will accept the issue with that
fearless courage which has heretofore distin
guished i tin previous conflicts with the haugh
ty " mistress of the seas." But let the whole
question be decided upon its merits. Nations,
like individuals, cannot be disgraced by
making the most ample reparation and apolo
gy for the commission of a wrong. If, after
thorough and candid examination, our Govern
ment should conclude that the seizure of
IV/Ism and SLIDELL on :board a British vessel
and under the protection of the British flag
was not justifiable by the law of Nations, then
the honor of the United States can be satisfied
with nothing less than the most ample repa
ration. But if, on the other hand, there is no
reason to doubt the entire legality of the
seizure, then the Government cannot, dare
not apologize, no matter what the consequen
ces may be. The principle involved in this
question is of infinitely more consequence than
the possession of the persons of the rebel
envoys. We went to war with Great Britain
in 1812 to resist the right of search and seizure
on the high seas—and it would be a singular
illustration of the tendency to make principles
comform to supposed interests if the United
States should become involved in a war with
Gnat Britain to vindicate the right of search
and seizure. We repeat that the principle is
of more consequence than the persons of the
rebel envoys, and the question involved in
their seizure should be. determined on its
merits disconnected from other circumstances.

P
ROSPECTUS OF THE NEW YORK
LEDGER FOR 1862.
The LEDGER - has been more prosperous—has made more
money (Wring the past twelve months—than any other
paper, either daily or weekly, published in New York or
any other city in this country. The great reason why the
LEDGER has been so much more successful than any or all
other papers Is,that we have not hesitated to spend money
~freely in securing the services of all the great and popular
writers of the country. While other papers have been
compelled to economize—to cut down the size of their
sheets, and print on a poor quality of paper, we have, on
the other hand, been enabled to keep up to the highest
point of excellence, in every respect, and to avail ourselves
of all the improvements and novelties which would tend
to the entertainment and gratification of our readers. We
have never offered any humbug premiums to 'secure sub
scribers, for the reason that we have preferred to put merit,
or premium into the paper itself, and in that way give
every reader more than the worth of his money.
Besides nine out of every ten papers that have offered
premiums have been swindling concerns, and every paper
that has anything to do with that sort of thing is sure to
die. They are not conducted on sound business principles.
The following are the names of some of our leading con
eibaiors for the new year-1862. What other paper ever
presented such an army of distinguished and popular
names:
Hon. Edward Everett, Rev. John S. 0. Abbott, William
Cullen Bryant, A. Oakey Hall, John G. Saxe, George P.
Morris, N. P. Willis, George D. Prentice, Sylvanus Cobb,
Jr., Emerson Bennett, William Ross Wallace, T. S. Arthur,
P. Hamilton Myers, Col. Walter B. Dunlap, Mrs. Sigourney,
Mrs. Bonthworth, Fanny Fern, Anna Cora Ritchie, Alice
Cary, Mary Forrest, Min E. A. Duphy, Mary Stanley Gib
son, and many clergymen, professors in colleges, statesmen,
andother eminent writers residing in different parts of the
Union.
Our corps of contributors for the coming year will to so
large, and will embrace such a variety of eminent talent,
that every department of literature will receive the par
ticular attention of some one competent to do it ample and
special justice. In fact, our contributors will send us from
week to week mach more matter than we can possibly use,
so that we shall always have a fresh and superabundant
supply from which to Select THE vnwo HEST.
The Lamm's great success is owing to the fact that we
spare no expense in getting up the best family paper—a
paper of high moral tone. The exalted reputation of its
contributors, the practical and invariably pure and healthy
‘baracteruf all its articles, the care which is taken that
not even one offensive word shall appear in its columns,
and the superiority of the Tales and Sketches, have gained
for the NOW YORK LEDGER a position that no literary paper
has ever before reached.
As this is the season of the year when Postmasters and
others are in the habit of forming clubs, we direct their
particular attention to
OIIR TERMS.
Single copies, $2 per annulu ; two copies, $3 ; four copies,
$6: eight copies, $l2. Postmasters and others who get np
clubs can afterwards add single copies at $1.60: The party
who sends us $l2 for a club of eight copies will be entitled
to a copy free. Terms invariably, in advance. No sub.
ecriptions taken for a less period than one year. Canada
subscribers mast send twenty six cents in addition to the
subscription, to pay the American postage, which is half a
cent a copy on every paper. The notes of all specie•paying
banks taken at par. When a draft or check can con
veniently be sent, it will be preferred unit will prevent the
possibility of the loss of money by mail.
Allir We employ no travelling agents.

PETER MARTIN,
Prothonotary.
This is just the thing wanted 012 our hilly roads:
The arrangement is so simple, cheap, and performs its
duty with such certainty, locking just In proportion to
the steepness of the hill, by the pressure of gravitation,
and that, too, by a gradual bearing, relieving the horse
from a sadden jerk, as well as to prevent the raising of
the shafts, and again re-acting with equal ease to the
horse, by means of a spiral spring, making it altogether
the most complete and desirable appendage that could be
applied to carriages,
The simplicity, cheapness ' and certainty of performing
its duty faithfully, without being liable to get out of
repair, and its ready adaptation to all classes of vehicles,
makes this invention peculiarly desirable, and will not fail
to recommend it to every beholder, and bids fair to come
into general use.

employ such a remedy, but especially in Female Disease*

ate cases of Lencorrhom by it, and 801110 where the com
plaint was caused by ulceration of the Wentz. The ulcer
ation itself was soon cured. Nothing within my knowl
edge equals it for these female derangements."
Edward S. Marrow, of Newbury, Ala., writes, "A dan
gerous orariun tumor on one of the females in my family,
which had defied all the remedies we could employ, bas
at length been completely cured by your Extract of Sar
saparilla. Our physician thought nothing but extirpte,

Sarsaparilla as the last resort before cutting, and it
proved effectual. After taking your remedy eight weeks
no symptom of the disease remains."

NEW ORLEANS, 25th August, 1859.
Dn. J. C. Alika : Sir, I cheerfully comply with the re.
quest of your Agent, and report to you some of the effects
I have realized with your Sarsaparilla-
I have cured with It, in my practice, most of the com
plaints for which it is recommended, and have found its
effects truly wonderful in the cure of Veverear and Mer
curio/ Disease. One of my patients bad Syphilitic ulcers
to his throat, which were consuming his palate and the
top of his mouth. Your Sarsaparilla, steadily taken,
cured hint in five weeks. Another was attacked by sec
•ondary symptoms in his nose, and the ulceration bad
eaten away a considerable part of it, so that I believe the
disorder would soon reach his brain and kill him. But it
yielded to my administration of your Sarsaparilla; the
ulcers healed, and be is well again, not of course without
some disfiguration - to Ids face. A woman who had been
treated for the same disorder by mercury Wes suffering
from this poison in her bones. They had become so sezr=
slave to the weather that on a damp day she suffereaex
cruciating pain in her joints and bones. She, too, was
cured entirely by your Samaparilla in a few weeks. I
know from its formula, which your agent gave me, that
this Preparation from your laboratory must be a great
remedy; consequently, these truly remarkable results
with it ham not surprised um.
Fraternally yours,

Dn. J. C. Aron: Sir, I have been afflicted with a pain
ful chronic Rheumatism for a long time, which baffled the
skill of phyeiciaos, and stuck to me in spite of all the
remedies I could find, until I tried your Sarsaparilla. Ono
bottle cured me in two weeks, and restored my general
health so much that I am far better than before I was
attacked. I think It a wonderful medicine. J. BREAM.
.Tides Y. Getchell, of St. Louis, writes "I Dave been

destroyed my health. I tried every thing, and every thing
tidied to relieve me; and I have been a broken-down man.
for some years from nn other cause than derangement of
the Liver. My beloved pastor, the Rev. Mr. Espy, advised
me to try your Sarsaparilla, because he said he knew you,
and any thing you made was worth trying. By the bless

GREAT NATIONAL BANNER OF INTELLECT, TOR
AMERICAN HEARTS AND HOMES!
THE NEW YORK HEROITR Y.
A. NEW YEAH WITH AN OLD PRIZED
On New Year's day of 1862, that world-renowned and
unrivaled gun of American journalism, the peerless NNW
Yeas MERCURY, will enter upon the twenty-fourth year of
the most brilliant career ever achieved by a paper: During
the past year it has been the teacher, story-teller, mentor,
and oracle of two hundred thousand American homes, from
ocean to ocean—and from Quebec, In Canada, to Pensacola,
on the Gulf of Mexico. Young and old, rich and poor,
have reveled In its enchanting stores of wisdom, romance,
art, poetry, and genial humor- and Its praise le
"Familiar in their months as household words."
The noble patriot-soldier in hie tent, too, ban whiled
away the Whim of cunt:4lle in the absorbing review of its
FORTY - BRILLIANT COLUMNS,
finding in•them a fascinating mental discipline known only
to those who rally to the Banner• Sheet of the Grand Army
of American Intellect and Genius I
In commencing a New Year, the proprietors of The New
York Mercury can only say, that it shall be their aim to
-make their great family journal of American - literature,
for 1882, more brilliant and enchanting than ever, in its
concentration of all the world's grandest and moat beauti
ful specialities in healthful Romance, graceful Poetry, ele
gant and quaint Gossip, refining Knowledge, sparkling
Humor, and entertaining News—until, like love, it
rules the court, the camp„Ahe bower,"
as it already rules the happy domestic fireside.
The editorial tone and National departments of The New
York Mercury will continue true to that lofty spirit- of
patriotism which has made it a necessity of the people
since the War began, and kept it in enthusiastic demand
when other sheets were dying all around It for want of
popular support.
Already the largest Literary Journal in the world, and
famous as the focus of a thousand brilliant literary repu
tations, its programme for 1882 willhe magnificent beyond
all precedent. The most celebrated pens of this ammtry
and Europe have been secured In the service, at an outlay
equal to the expense of more than one. national govern
ment In the Old World! and Its novelettes, or 'continued
stories, for 1882, will be the most splendid triumphs of
elegant Fiction ever published. To these, too, the magic
pencil of the greatest of American artists, Mr. Felix 0. C.
Parley, will lend the aid of pictorial art.
Our story, Initiatory of the New Year, is a splendid
national Romance, commencing In the New York Merctiry
