salvation of the country. He believed that those who support the President are in litliSOn nod sympathy with him. The idea that the Admin istration and its supporters desire the confines lion of the war, in order to control the nest Presidential election-•dc?ire this cruel war, with its cries of anguish, loss of households, shall be continued for such a purpose—our sons given to slaughter, oar widows to mourning, and our kindred to destitution—is an ;aslant-ton so base that he wondered it found its way even into the fertile brain of the Senator from Kentucky. [Ap plause in the galleries, which was promptly sup. pressed by the presiding officer.] The country is at war ; such a war as was never before seen; and at a time when the question is nothing morn than the life or death of the nation, the allega• tions is made that it is desired to prolong the war for a political object. If this were true, those who support the Administration are reck less to everything that should bind them patri otically together, so callous to grief, and BO deaf to the pleadings of humanity, that it would be too revolting to a civilized people to contemplate. Mr. LANE. of ladilltta, remarked that he un derstood the Senator from Kentucky to say that a major general had declared that it was the pur pose of the President to retain his power, even though the elections go against him. If that be true, the Administration does not deserve the confidence of the country ; if false, the officer should be mustered out as unworthy the com mand he bears. He should like to know the kulnle of the offieer. Mr. DAVIS replied that the Senator mistook him. A gentleman who was formerly a member of the other Rouse informed him that there was a major general who said that if Mr. Lincoln was defeated in the next Presidential election he would not surrender the Office. If the Senator from Indiana would come to him (Mr. Davis) in the strictest confidence, he would give him the name of the major general, awl that of his in formant. Mr. Leas said he had only this to say, that any major general who would make such a state ment was unworthy of the honors of II t _ overn meat. If tree, the Government was unworthy of confidence. As one of the humblest suppor ters of the Government, be denied that. any such remark was true. The pending resolution of Mr. Davie WAS re ferred to the Military Committee. lissofft anti R6tuntval.

Except the passage of the $20,000,000 Bounty Bill, awl a joint resolu tion of thanks to General Grant and the soldiers under his command, nothing worth mentioning has been done during the brief period the House es have been in session. In the lower branch, the time has been chiefly taken up with the offering of resolutions upon the state of the sentry, which, although in themselves unim portant and decisive of nothing, are invested with s'sort of prospective interest, as indicating the prevailing eentiment of the House, and the character of the legislation that may be expect ed. We have prepared as fall a sketch of these various resolutions as our limits - will allow, but, following the example of their authors, we make free to adjourn its publication until "after the Holidaye," A NOBLE CHARITT.—The Managers of the "Cooper Shop SoHare' Home," in Philadelphia, have secured the large and commodious building at the North-West corner of Race and Crown streets, foreprly occupied as an Army Hospital, which they have thoroughly repaired and neatly fitted up as a retreat for disabled Soldiers and Seamen who have been bonorabba discharged from the land or naval service of the United States, where they may enjoy the comforts of home. The building was formally opened on Tuesday leak with interesting ceremonies, to which an invitation was kindly sent us.

The benefits of this noble 'ARAI)? are Conferred upon all who need them, from whatever part of the Union they may come. We therefore commend it to the generous sympathy and support of all our citi zens who feel that "it is better to give than to receive." Tau CONSCRIPTION Law.-4n the liouse' of Congress, on Wednesday, Mr. ANCONA, of Penna., offered a preamble, setting forth " that the act, commonly called the Conscription law, is oppres sire, unjust and unconstitutional, ,heeause it takes from the States the control of their own militia, therefore be it Retained, That the Committee on Military Af fairs be instructed to bring in a bill for the re peal of the act, and the substitution of some Constitutional and just bill for immediately Sll - our army." Before taking action on the resolution, the House adjourned. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO TUE CONSONIPTION LAW.—The Amendments to the Draft Laws, now before Congress, repeal the $3OO commutation clause and consolidate the two classes; that is, make all between 20 and 45 liable to draft at once. Persons procuring substitutes, are to be exempted from any 'AIL are drafts during the time for which such substitute has been accept ed. Reports from Washington say that it is doubtful whether the 000 commutation clause will be stricken out. A majority of the Com mittee of east branch of Congress is said to be opposed to 'termini. IMPORTANT TO PER NH ON TIM ENROLLMENT /AMT. - By a notice from the Provost bleruhal's office, in our advertising columns, it will be seen that the time for bearing applications for ex— emption from the draft, on account of alienege, non-residence, manifest disability, etc., has been extended to the sth of January. Gammon OVILTIN .

THE VOICE OF KENTUCKY, The Abolitionists have the impudence to claim as supporters of their rati;cal st.soir;nes the Un ionists of ICentucky, now well represented by Governor Bramiette, nod to place them in as marked an untegonistu to the conservative De mocracy- as they are the/melt - es. Thus, the Now - lurk Tribime, it: copying a few detached passages from G 0-rerti or Bramlot tea lost ineisege, says with affected exultation, that it " will eon .siderably dit.appoint the Northern partisans of tri,ellicet who lace lately claimed hits as an ally of the Peace Democracy." By the " North ern partisans of rebellion," the Tribune, of course, means the Democrats; for, with the mean. spirited columniousness that has become habit ual with the Radical press, it denounces all who will not forswear themselves, and say amen to the ttsurpatious of an Abolitionism" Adminis• tration, as tt traitors." As we, however, arc ignorant of the existende of any " partisans of rebellion" in the Democratic ranks, we shall take no notice of this libel, but g) to the Message itself, which Tire Trihrore professes to admire so numb. It is strongly Union in its sentiments 4. and the Radicals can only make capital out of this by persisting in their false claim of being the exclusive Unionists of the North. They take precious good care not to let their readers know that Governor Itramlette is just as strong in his condemnation of Abolitionism as he is in his ex pressions of devotion to the Union. Indeed, he holds, on this point, the precise idea of the De mocrats—that the Union is the object of the ;ear, and the negro the mere. — which is in 'necked contradistinction to the Radical notion, now openly accepted by the Administration, declared in 'gr. Lincoln's Message, that the ne gro is henceforth to be the object for which we must fight, and the Union and all else subordin- Unionism, and the reader will see at a glance that it is livery different article from The Tribune's; ate to it. Ilere is a sample of Gov. Ilramlette•s " The Union is indispensable to ns, and we are indispensable to the Union. We Clilltiet, therefore, separate, but must preserve our unity which gives us cur nationality. Neither the preservation nor the destruction or slavery is essential to our State or National existence. Tito State and the Nation can exist with or without slavery. The Government was not formed for the purpose of preserving or deetr:tying it, but to perpetuate to latest time the blessings of free government to the Anglo American. It is not, therefore, opposition to slavery which consti totes the danger to free government nor the ad vocacy of it. Bet the danger th e ,ifort of thee , who would make the life of the Government on &ordinate to the status of the negro. It is as revo lutionary and disloyal to subordinate the Gov eepment to the question of his flOedom as to the question of his enslavement. Tllle loyalty subor thnntes all these gicest:ons to the preservation of the covernment." This has the old Union ring in it—it speaks the voice of the National Democracy, with whom the preservation of the Union was ever made the paramount question, and for which it always strove to cherish the spirit of mutual forbear ance and compromise through which alone the Union was formed. It is in perfect accordance with the Unionism of Washington, of Jefferson, of Madison, and of Jackson, and as diametrically opposed to the sectionalism of the Hartford Con vention Secessionists of Now England and their counterparts in the South, sa Lincoln's Procla mations are to the pledges of his Inaugural Ad dress. The doctrine enunciated in this extract is sound, Democratic and Constitutional. tics not the Democratic party consistently held that the Federal &averment has no right to estab lish or aboliA slavery, and no right to make a distinction between the domestic institutions of one State and those of another ; and when it does this, it acts in subversion of the ends for which it was established ? And if Governor Bramlette holds to the same doctrine, ai he clearly does, how can the Radicals claim that he is in sympa thy with them, who are now enforcing a directly opposite theory? The Governor, as is natural to a Southerner; , treats at length on slavery. He says that " the vicious ambition of the Southern men, and the bigoted fanaticism of men of the North, in giv lag and accepting a sentient' quarrel about a local institution, have forced upon us the most gioundless, cruel, wicked, inexcusable warfare that ever afflicted any people of the earth ; and that the slave had no more necessary connection with this rebellion than the horse or any other species of property." Ile goes on to draw the character of these extremists—Ncrth and Sotith —and then "says— Holding, as we do, that the people alone are sovereign, and that the Federal Government rep. resents the united sovereignty of the people for national p poses, and that the State Gavel:wants represents their sonereiynty within the limits of the Slate and for local purposes, we Teel the more keenly the wrong inflicted upon us by those de. eying the foundation theory of our government, and who make war upon its perpetuity—the one asserting the supremacy of State rights, the other ignoring the rights of the people within State limits. By the Gat of the sovereign people, this National Government exists ; by the acme fiat State GovetnateWs exist, and each is limited to its won sphere of action. Southern ambition strikes at the national sovereignty of the people, and Northern fanaticism at the sovereignty which, by national fiat, is reserved to them within the States. 'Each would form a new nod different Government. The truly b:gul man is strugyliny to maintain a government—not to rneie One. Tee Government, we hove is better then any which has ever preceded it, and superior to any suggested by revolutionists. The secessionist who would destroy the Government by force, and the fanitic who would destroy by innovation, arc a like the enemies of our Government. Tis Celdisr who bares his bosom to the storm of war, does so un der the conviction that be fights to maintain the Government which blessed his fathers and sheltered hie youth. The rebel fights to break up the Gov ernment. The purpose of the fanatic is the same as the rebel—to make a new, a different government than the one for which our fathers toiled and bled, and to maintain which our own brave eons now offer up their lives a willing and' glorious sacrifice. Rich is the common enemy of those who adhere to the Constitutional Union, formed by the wise men of the revolution." Why does not The Tribune republish these ex tracts, along with thelevrgarbled passages which it tome to its own account?_ They would be re freshing reading for ito rola' disciples, really But, here again , we have only a reiteration of the truths that Lc National Democracy have enunciated, ever since this sectional controversy began—that the Northertr Abolitionists and Southern Secessionists are working (though by different means) for a common object—the de struction of the Government of our fathers—the rebels by armed resistance to it, and the radicals by innovation anti usurpation. I Governor Bramlette deali with the negro very differently from Sumner, Greeley, Lincoln & Co. Rio words, all through, are fair and sound. " We confess," he says, a stronger affection for the white man than for the black, and believe this Government was made for the white man ; that ho ought to maintain and defend it. And we further believe that the large amounts expended to feed and support ' contrabands' would be touch more judiciously and charitably expended in supporting the suffering widows and orphans left by our brave and gallant volunteers who have fallen in camp and field." Is this the "loyalty" that The Tribune delights to honor? We rather think not. .0n the contrary, it will disappoint the Northern partisans of the negro even more than those imaginary "partisans of the rebellion" that The Tribune conjures up, could it give them an actual being. And this, assuredly, is the sentiment of all the true Union men of the South—the men who have not debased themselves by selling their birth right for the pottage of Executive patron age. If some of the Representativos attic Bor— der States in Congress talk anti Act differently, let tio, in charity, remember that they owe their seats to the base - net and not to the free hallo!, and that, having consented to wear the collar of servitude, they must be obedient to their masters. LATBST FROM : EAST Tf242 , lF.MML—Dispat °llea from Cumberland Gap to the 18th, say that. Gen. Longstreet divided his army on the 14th, one part making an attack on Bean's Station and the other at 'Kelly's Ford, the design being to cut off Generals Shackelford and Foster. A movement by Geo.

He left. Blair's Cross-roads on the IGth. The battle of Bean's Station com menced on the 11th loaf. at 2 o'clock, and hated until dark. Gen.

Taw GREAT PRIZE FIGLIT.—The Asia brings an account of the great fight for £l,OOO a side, between Heenan and King, which took place on the morning of the 10th, 'at Tunbridge, Eng land. King won in twenty-five rounds, the fight having lasted thirty-one minutes. The London Timm devotee a leader to the affair, and also publishes a graphic special account. It editorially says : Heenan was game throughout, from the begin ning to the close of the fight, and he put the ' hug' on so as to crush his antagonist by dash ing him to the ground. Ring's taeties were dif ferent and more creditable to a professor of pugilism. They consisted simply in striking a series of sledge-hammer blows on the most prominent and sensitive parts of lieenan'e phys• tognomy, until the latter mdlared from exhaus tion. The affair was over in twenty four rounds and Ihirtylve minutes There appears to have been little "science " on either side, but it was nevertheless, a fair stand up fight, without a cheek, and ended in a decisive victory for King. The TiMele eeneludes its article by assertipg that "prize fighting is more revolting than bull fighting and ought to be discouraged." • lII` SENATOB MLLE, of New Hampshire, in his reply to the speech of Garret Davis, of Ken tucky—a sketch of which will be found upon our first page—said that if his (Halo's) party friends were as bad as Mr. Davis made them, they were not fit to be taken by the hand by pickpockets and thieves. Two days after Otis indignant pro testation, Mr. Hale was obliged to confess, in open Senate, that h§ had taken bribes to the amount of $3,000 for his services (only as a law per, of course!) in procuring the release of two political prisoners from the Old Capitol. He has thus proved to the world that at least one mein tier of the ruling party—and a Senator at that— was as mean and corrupt. as Senator Davis had charged. It is well that Hale is " loyal and pa triotic," according to the present established standard, or h't would soon find himself expelled from the Senate. TWENTY MILLION BOUNTY BILL.—The bill which has now passed both houses of Congress •'to supply deficiencies," appropriates $20,• 000,000, or so much thereof as may be neeeftsary for the payment of bounties and advance pay to soldiere enlisting, providing that no bounties ex cepting such as are now provided by law, shall he paid to any persons not enlisted before the sth of January neat; that the money paid by drafted persons under the. enrollment act shall be paid into the Treasury, and shall be drawn out on requisitions as in the ease of other public moneys, and the money so paid shall be kept in the Treasury as a special deposit applicable only to the expenses of the draft and for the procure lion of substitutes.

Upon hie release from the Libby Prison, he was promoted to a Brigadier General's commission, and soon re— cruited a Brigade, at the head of which be was in ae:ive service up to the time of Me death. GriNEILAL Gassr.—We are sorry to learn that the health of this able and successful General is very feeble, and that his constitution has ap parently been irremediably shattered by long exposure iu unhealthy regions, and his injury at New Orleans. His death at this time would be a national disaster. An army officer direct from Chattanooga informed the Indianapolis Journal that General Grant is still suffering from his fall at New Orleans, has grown thin and stoop. lug, and shows signs of eo great a loss of health and Strength as to create doubt of his recovery, though he still works as indefatigably as ever, A GREAT DAR'S WORK.—Last 'Friday, the rol iing mill connected with the Pennsylvania Iron Works of Waterman & Beaver, at Danville, Pa., made for the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad 105 tons 17 cwt. (2,240 lbs. per ton) of rails in 10 consecutive hours, on weingairain of three high.rolls. They were 50 The. per yard aii# 30 feet lengths.
