Referred to the Military Committee. Hr. Doolittle presented a memorial of the Mil waukee Chamber of Commerce, praying for the construction of a wagon road to Idaho, through Minnesota and Dacotah. Referred to the Commit tee on Territories. On motion of Mr. Powell (Ky.), it was resolved that the Secretary of War he requested to mit to the Senate the evidence and report of the jliinary Committee, of which Major-General Ir win McDowell was President, to inquire into co:- nu and other speculations on the par t of certain officers of the army. ■} ■ ■ The bills to enable the people of Nevada and Col irado to form a constitutional and Stale govern ment, and. lor their admission into the Union on an iqual footing with original States, were, ou mo ron of Mr. W ade, called up, and after amendment ?rere passed. These bills provide against slavery, and secure perfect religions toleration. The joint resolution to revive the grade of Lieut xeneral came' np in proper order, the pending [uestion being an amendment of the Military committee of the Senate to strike out from the iouae bill the provision recommending G-eneral xrant for the position. ~ Mr. Grimes addressed the Senate/ He said when n 17S8 we were at war with France, the attention of country Was called to one man to lead the mtional forces. That tr&B he who was flr*>t in ieace, first in war and first in the hearts of his ountrymen. 'He had been ti ied In the most ex ited positions, and there was an evident fitness in tving additional rank in Ins case. Yei even in is case we find no precedent for this'aetion, as it fas not sought to incorporate his name in the ro olntions of Congress. Mr. Grimes also referred to. the case of General Icott, npon whom the title had been conferred, nd said that the grade was revived, not while len. Scott was performing service in the field, nt seven years afterwards, and then it was imply a brevet title. It was never thought to take Scott a Lieutenant General until public eUtiment became unanimous that some distinction hould fee awarded him. He could see no analogy etweenthat case and the present. The effector te passage of-this resolution would be either to allGeu. Grant from the present posiiion heoc npies, and place him at the head of the armies, inking him the man of council at Washington ln ead of man of action in the field, or, while being, y virtue of the title, Commander-in-chief of the rmies, liable to be assigned to a mere local eom rnnd. Would this confer any distinction upon lm except the rank and pay 1 No! It would save him still under the orders of the President nd General Halleck. He did not think it jnsf* lat an act should be passed to accomplish either f these purposes. He voted on this subject without any referenee ) poliiieal purposes, and without a desire to luck a single laurel from Geu. Grant’s brow, en. Grant was a man of action in the field. Tha -as the estimate which Gen. Grant set upon his wn character, and no man would regret the otion proposediu the House resolutions more than le General lilmself; .for, as he stan s himself, success over the enemies of the country is all I ssire. ’ ’ The argument is urged that we need a ve general in the councils of the Administration, ave we any assurance that Gen. Grant will be itter than the one we have; and, indeed, are we ire that bad connsel has not proceeded from aotber spnrce than Gen. Halleck? Should we old Gen. Halleck responsible because Jackson ille, Fla., has to be captured for the third time, id for the expedition from New Orleans to reduce ort Hudson, under Gen. Banks, when the posi on won Id not have been held a day after the fall Vicksburg. He (Mr. primes) was no admirer of General alleck, and lie did not stand here as his defender, it he liked fair play and would haye justice done him and the country. If he had no other ob ction to the joint resolution an it came irom the ouse, this was a vital his mind, as it ould baye the ultimate effect'd making a. whole Uch of Lieutenant-Generals, as every Major eneral in the field would be ambitions of au&in gthe highest honors possible to be attained. Mr. Sherman considered that General Halleck* s •esent position-was that of an Adjatant-General the President as Oommander-m-Chief. The solution, as amended, would not place General iant in command of the armies of the United ateB * It was a complimentary resolntion. When eneral Scott commanded the army in Mexico; ® re J Tas OQ e Major-General besides himself, and *J! nc, 3 € :, am y not compare with a single . tjl . e anny ol General Grant.

He cotald only BB e S?. u *£ k rmy of the Potomac was now where it waT tw® iars ago. That army has not won the • war. General Grant and his army had done , and he would have them extended to him ane 6m. «»**u Mr. Johnson said that he wonld not vote lor the 11 if it retained the clause designating the general pon whom the renk shonld he conferred, as he “?‘ d «| d a stigma npon the President of the ho tnenlh*? Ha yas not one of the number ho thought General Halleck inadequate to the duties. In reference to the -go of Corinth, he had high military authority r saying that it could not bkre been more wisely en impartial history will attribute it others besides General Halleck. That General is not aiways been consolted, and whSi con ilted his opinion has not always heeii ) far as the Army of the ctory has always perch.d Upon the?" banners ;ainst equal numbers, and if General Vi.,ii.™> F lyice hSd been taken, after thesuSiH^if ct ? s Anti stain and So u th Mo n nt ain, andVeo at up -on the Virginia side te intarcepfws treat, the rebel army wonld haTe boon f Generaf McClellan. He considered thatth» fnsal to do this was unjnstlilable. Mr Johnson felerred to the battle ef Gettysburg, wS of tbeflnest battles on record afih^en 81 Jun . ctnre ' when It was aU-important at the enemy should be pursued, General Meade IBS'! SESSION, tailed to nesume the responsibilities of hissitua lon, and consulted with liis corps commanders.' v tio advised against the movement He thought General Meade should have assumed the responsi bility. M e should look, however, at the facts m ilie ca?e. Should he have failed in his purpose the Government would then have been at the mercy oi the rebels. Mr. tJonness (Gal.) said the greatest army of the war, the Armyof the Potomac, has failed, after a tnal under different commanders. It wa3now proper loseek for a man with sufficient military capacity to take control and direct the affairs of the country from this time forward Ho hoped the i>eimte was not willing to pass tois empty honor on Gen Grant without giving him control of that w hich he was possessor of. Dir. Hale said he should vote for the bill just as it came from the House, because if he wdntedtodo an act In- w'ould do it peacefully. If he was any where else except in this high Chamber, where every man is supposed to and did speak what he thought, without any sinister meaning, heshould ihtnk that those gentlemen who so strenuously op pose this honor to Gen.j Grant'were secret enemies ol Dir. Lincoln, and intended to ppt Gen. Grant on the track as a candidate against him. Be wanted Gen. Grant to go where his merits entitlr d him. There was no feeling on earth—not even woman’s love—so strong as the feeling taat the people entertain for the defenders of their liber ties. "We are told that there was no precedent for this bill That was true; but we are living in times when it becomes necessary to make prece dents. If we were to be tied up by precedents, the country.would rum. There was a law to be regarded higher than any Congress could make, i.nd that was contained in the maxim of the old hcm an writing, * ‘Perpetuate the Republic. ’ * He would rejoice to see, after the establishment of this precedent, general after general, coming here and this honor 6 frDits of ' victor y at our feet to seek Mr. MMlson said the Senator from New Hamp exposed the hope that the Senate oi?..r D 7\.P as - s ? ,hl i 3 res olution, and thus dictate to the ! Magistrate who should be created lieutenant ** e £°ped that the Senate would do no “thing. or himself,he took no part in move ments looking to the making of the'next Presi- ? e s!* * time enough some months hence to turn atiemum to that. He hoped that the Senate would pass resolution as amended by the senate Military Committee, which authorizes the grade, without dictating to the Executive upon whom it shall be conferred. The public judgment oi the country points to General Grant as the per son, and he knew the President was in favor of such an appointment. If there had been a man on earth who had stood up for General Grant that man was the President. He had sustained him when the public press and general officers were everywhere denouncing him. He thought nobody had a right to advise the President what to do with General Grant. Mr. Howe was in of putting the resource* of the country in the hands of Geneial Granr, and we would see what would be the results. He had been successful in a few things, and he would bestow upon him many things. 1 here was n> dictation in asking the Piesideat to do what we all tniuk should be done. BPr Jressenden -would not detract in the lean from_ the honors so richly due to General Grant, hut he considered it improper to indicate to the Fiesident the person to -whom the grade should be confeired, as the Senate, "was hereafter to sit as judges upon his confirmation. Was it an empty honor we would confer upon General Grant, when a tew years ago he was striving to get above the grade of lieutenant, that we now propose to make him a lieutenant-general, with a salary of 513.00 U per annum. \ Mr. Wilkinson thought the' tendency of the speeches to-day indicated that General Halleck, and net General Grant, would be the man se lected for the office we would create: and as he believed Gereral Grant a better general than Gene ral Halleck, he should vote against the amendment striking out a lecommendation of the former for the position. The amendment of the Military Committee strik ing out the clause recommending General Grant for Lieutenant-General, was adopted. Yeas. 27- nays 12, as follows: ~~ ’ Yeas—Messrs.

The House then took up the Naval Appropria tion bill, and, after some discussion, the com mittee proceeded to vote on an amendment hereto fore offered, that seamen shall be paid in-gold or its equivalent. This was disagreed to, yeas 35, nays 63. Mr. Rice (Mass.) moved to increase the appro prial ion for construction and repair of vessels rrt-m twenty-two millions eight hundred thousand dollars, to twenty-six millions three hundred thousand. Hr. Rice explained the necessity for this appropriation, and incidentally stated that provision would be made in another bill for iron sea-going vessels, so that we may be somewhat on a par with the navies of France and England. Mr. Stevens (Pa/) said the estimates were one hundred and forty (four millions for the navy: but the Committee on Ways and Means had' reduced them thirty-seven millions—believing that,; while such a reduction wonld not cripple the navy,some of the objects of the appropriation, could be post poned till a future time. Mr. Rice’s amendment was agreed to. Yeas, 72; nays, 23. A long debate then took place on the item of 9 135,000 for the purchase of two lots adjoining the Boston Navy Yard. An ineffectual motion was made to strike it out. Without coming to a conclusion on the bill, the Committee rose at s o’clock,and the House ad journed. PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE. CLOSE 07 TBOTBEDAT' 8 PKOC! HOUEB OV ITBPBBBKCTATIVEO. The Bounty resolutions being under considera tion. Mr. Hakes moved to amend by making the State bounty $41)0 instead of 8210. Mr. Goehr&n said that the veterans who now re enlisted had power to credit themselves to any de sired district. Mr. Pershing said that tjie local bounties would all be paid as soon as it was ascertained how many of the veterans had re. enlisted. It was thus un necessary to give the State bounty. He believed That the system of State bounties as at present con ducted gaye a veteran less than araw reernit. This was wrong. Mr. Glass said that the veterans who re-enlisted were credited to the State at large. Mr. Hopkins said that ne had been informed by .Capt. Lane, in Philadelphia, that all the veterans who re-enlisted prior to December 25th, were cre dited to the State at large, and then assigned pro rata to each district. They received r.o local bounty. Those who have re-enlisted since De cember 25th can assign themselves where they cboose and receive the local bounty. J The amendment to increase to 8400 was agreed to —yeas 67, nays 25. : Mr. Bigham said that theresolutions wonld only Slace the State in competition with looal districts’; f ot another volunteer would enlist on local bounty if these resolutions passed. Mr. Cochran moved to amend by inserting after $4OO, *• or such sum as the Committee may recom mend.” Mr. Cochran’s amendment was agreed to, and theresolutions passed.
