II ARRisntRo, Feb. 4, 18C2. Ilarrisburg is comparatively dull tbia win ter. There is mucb less legislation than usu al ; and what there is, Is not of a character to attract outsiders, or that body known as tbe "Third House," which, wbeo organited as it bas been for tome years past, is tbe most po. tent of the three. Tbis is, of course, owing to the fact that no bills of great or general interest .are now before the Legislature. Perhaps one of tbe most exciting or inter sting debates of the present session took place last night on tbe resolutions of the Senate, passed unanimously by that body, instructing our Senators in Congress to tote for tbe expulsion of Jesse D. Bright, United States Senator from Indiana. Tbe resolu tions, it is conceded, are intended lor Mr Cowan, who takes the ground that it is a juSiciul question, and that Mr. Bright's coo. duct in writing a letter to Jefferson Davis introducing the inventor of a new gun, though unjustifiable and bigbly criminal io character, is still not such on act as would justify bis expulsion from tbt body. Mr. Wilmot, the colleague of Mr. Cowan, bag no such scruples, and bas declared bimself ready to vote for the expulsion of tbe author of tbe treasonable let ter to Jell. DuviB, io which he addresses bim as the "President of tbe Confederate States." The resolutions of the Senate passed that body unanimously ; and as a vote was to be taken in tbe United States Senate to-day, it was important that the House should concur in the vote of the Senate last night, in order to have its effect 00 Mr. Cowan's vote. An evening session was therefore agreed npon for the purpose of laknig up these resolutions. The session was an exciting one, and lasted until nearly mid-night, when tbe previous question was called. Mr. Cessna, of Bradford, opened the de bate by offering a preamble aud a sett of resolutions as an amendment, wbicb edvfces our Senators to vote fur tbe expulsion of Mr Bright, provided they deem his conduct trea' sooable, and tbat he is not in heart in favor of sustaining tbe Union and the Constitution. Mr. Cessna's speech was a piece of speciol pleading, that might have beeo proper before a Coort in an ordinary case ; but where tbe fate of a great nation is involved, it was un worthy of consideration. The speakers in defence of the resolutions were generally men wbo bad been active in the support of Breck inridge ; end when Mr. Elliott, of Tioga, offered to read tbe resolutions adopted at tbe convention which nominated the member from Jefferson, Mr. Ziglor, objection was made, as being out of order. Mr. Elliott remarked that be would only say that tbe resolutions were as full of treason as Mr. Bright's letter to Jeff. Davis. Mr. Ziglcr remarked, in the course ot an excitea narangue, 10 wuicn lie eulogised Bright as a patriot, tbat "a rope bad been bung over bia owo door with a noose at ooe end ;" to which one of tbe mem bers replied by saying tbat bis neighbors, wbo ought to know him best, do doubt thought be deserved it. The speech of Mr. Arm. stroDg, of Lycoming, was an able effort, showing most conclusively the fallacy of the opposition to the Senate re resolutions. Mr. Williams, of Alleghany, closed the dubate witb a most able argument, io wbicb be repudiated the idea that this is ft judicial question, and io an elo quent appeal showed that io times like these tbe public safety was superior to ail technical objections and legal quibbles. Tbe vote was taken, and tbe amendments were adopted by a majority of about twenty votes a number voting for tbe amendments for tbe purpose of makiog them as nearly unanimous as possi sible. riiiLADEU'iiiA, Feb. 6, 1862. Arriving at Philadelphia to day about noon, in company witb several friends from Suuhnry, we visited "Camp Curtis," located near Gi rard College, for the purpose of seeing the boys in Capt. lluyers' Company, the "Augus ta Rangers," now incorporated in tbe .081 b Regiment, commanded by Col.

Senator Johnson, (Dern ) of Tennessee, In bis remarks io tbe United States Senate on Friday last, on Ibe expulsion case of Senator Bright of Indiana, went directly to tbe heart of the issue, and surpassed alt the expecta tions of bis friends and all the previous efforts of his life, Bucb a man, of all others, deserves well of bis country; Scorning to occupy bim self with tbe petty schemes wlicb disgrace tbe public career of so many others around bim of much greater preteosioos to patriotism, be bas bis eye fixed alone 00 tbe restoration to tbat end, wben be does speak tbe country knows that be is in earnest in his declara tions, and bis words fall, therefore, with a power tbat should challenge tbe emulation of meo wbo would gladly, and at any sacrifice, attaiD to a like place io the public eeteem bad they tbe honesty or the tact to accom plish it. "Mr. Johnson, said be wished first to say that he bad no unkind feeling towards the Senator Irom Indiana. So lur as be knew there wag no such feeling entertained against bim, and his actioo and vote would be influ enced entirely by public considerations. On a former ocvasiou, when the contest was about tbe Seoulor's seat, be felt constrained to vote to let bim in the Senate; but, before bis term was out, he tell compelled to vote to expel him from the Senate. He contended' that the Senate bad a perfect right to ex pi' I any Senator if they thought he was not lit to remain iu tbu councils of the nation. Tho question is, do the people of the United Slates leel confidence iu tue loyalty ot tne Seualor from Indiana? He bad often beard the inquiry umong people, "Why does not the Senate tuio out Bright, of Indiana ?" Ho then rulerred to the charge of Judge Smalley, of New York, and the acta of tbe Rebels, as proof that actual war had commenced when the letter to Davis was written. The Sena tor must have known tbis fact. He com mented upon the letter and its contents. He claimed tbat it was an overt act of treason, by aiding the enemy. 1'be Senate was not I subject to the technical rulos tit a court. Sup- own way, but now tbey found interposed an pose Aaron Burr, after be was acquitted by obstacle for whose presence Ihey are unpre a court ol treason, bad returned to the Sen- pared. Tbe Queen utterly if fused her assent ate, would not every Senator here have voted I to the language of the despatches and tbe for his expulsion T But the Senator said this 'character of the contemplated movements, letter was bo act of friendship. Would a j How she expressed her objections, or what friend Beud a letter to a known traitor, giving passed at this interview, 1 am not able to him tbe aid of improved brt-arms 1 By send ing letters to the chief traitor, with aid ot lh:s kind, tbe Senator showed himself so re gardless of bis country's interest that he is oot entitled to a seat io the Senate. Where was tbe vote or speech of the Senator from Indiana expressing sympathy witb the Con stitution aud the Union ?

He (Mr. Johnson) would have been clad of tbe sympathy of one so long in the public service ; but be was as. cold os ao ice berg, and be (Mr. Johnson) was loft alone on tbat side of tbe chamber, and the line was strictly drawn between these wbo were fight ing for tbe Union and those ngaiust it. Where were those who, uo longer ago tban tba lust session of Congress, sang the siren song of peace T Where was 1'olk, or Breckinridge ) Uone to tbe Hebel camp, lie believed there were traitors here now on the same road, and how long it will bo before tbey land in tbe traitor's camp ho could not tell. The Sena tor from Indiana has said he was opposed to tho wbnle coercive policy of the (jovernment. If tbe (Jovcrouietit bud out power to enforce tbe laws, then the Cioveromebt was at an end. Suppose be went to tbe Seoutor from Indiunu, and etkiid hiui to inaial in putting dowo the invasion of bis State according lu tbe Constitution. The Seualor would reply, "1 oppot-ed the whole joercivo policy of the Government." Such principles would utterly destroy tbu Government, aud yet the Senutor acknowledges tbat be entertaius them. What is tho use of tbe Seualor professing to uphold the Government, wben his every act aud all bin lobufuce is against It. 1 bu people ol bis (Mr. Johusou'e) Slule were down trodden and oppressed beuealn the ncel ot tyranny. I bey appealed lor protection, and met will) : the cold reply, T opposed the whole policy! of coercion." Yet we allow that brave peo- ' pie to be coerced by tyranny, and have no sympathy or helping band fur them. They j are in dungeons, and have no answer to tbeir ! appeals but the clanking chain and grnliug ! duugeeu door. I bey wera sbot and bung ; wotiion and children were murdered ; yet their cry for protection was met by Senators with the reply, " I be uoveroment cannot eulorce j tbe law ; we opposed tbe whole policy of co- , ercioo." I Uut the Senator from New Jersey (Mr. ! l eu Eyck) claims that tbe letter was never delivered to Davis. So, io the days of the Revolution, Benedict Arnold guve certain papers to Andre, but Andre is arrtstnd with Ibe papers oo bis pt-rsouaud they were taken away. Yet Audio was tried and burg. Does anybody suppose tbat Arnold was not a trai tor because luu papers were not delivered to Sir Henry Clinton ? lie referred to Mr. SauUbury's speech, and contended at some length tbut tbe soutn was eutirely respousi bl'o lor the war, and that the North gave all the compromise that was becessary, but tbe Southern traitors would not accept jt. If the Senate bus not moral, physical and poli. tical courage enough to expel those who an unsafe depositors of the public trust and power, then they were oot bl to reuiaiu bere themselves, lie did not say tbese things in any spirit of unkindness, but for tbe sake of constitutional liberty and for tbe sake of his owu wife aod children. By the failure of the Government to enforce the laws, his wife and children were turned into the street, and bis bouse made a barracks, and sent one of bis soos-in law to prison und the other to tbe mouotuius, to evade tbe tyranny, and the bell. born aod hellhound spirit of disunion; and wben cries came up that tbe laws may be enforced, you say, "No, I am against the entire coercive policy of the Government." The only way to settle the question now before the Government is not to compromise, but crush out tbe leaders of tbe rebellion. We bave got to show pluck, and got to fight. He desired peace, but the only way to get it was by the sacrifice of blood and treasure. Then let us crusb out tbe rebellion, aod look forward to the time when we shall raise the glorious old Bag bentalh the croes, and ga ther round with the cry of "Liberty aud Union, one aod inseparable, now aud fur ever."

The following is an extract from a ettt in tbe Philadelphia Inquirer, duted l.iudiu, January 11, 1602 1 am now going to relate a portion of the history of this affair, tbe fusts of wbicb will, I trust, give you as much pleasure as tbey did me, when 1 first heard tbem yesterday. Yon will not find this episode, now or bere, after, in tbe Koglish prees, unless tba few papers friendly to ns copy it from your col uinus, and you will be tbe first to publish it at borne. 1 present it, not as a statement of occurrences that might bave happened, but as a series of actual tacts, wbich 1 bave re ceived from a source entitled to tbe highest confidence, and on the exact truth oT which your readers and all the world tnav rely. There were milder counsels in tbe Knglisb Cabioet, but they failed to be successful, and the despatches to Lord Lyons, as first pre pared, were of the sternest and most peremp. lory cburacter. 1 do not misstuke the lads wheo I assert tbat they embodied a eurt and almost uncivil demand upon the United States Government fur apology and reparation, and that tbia demand was to be maintained by the actual presence, off oca of your harbors, of a fleet ot no less than teo war vrasels; Tbis, it will be'retnembered, was wben they proposed to act upon the ex parte statement of a petty official 00 board the Trent, aud this harshness was to bo used even before it could be known that you Government would not promptly disavow the act of Captain Wilkes. The animus of the Ministry throughout this affair i is, therefore, evident. 11 may be mentioned I here Hint, doubtless tbe Ministry hud lung 1 beeo hoping for some opportunity for recog' oizing openly, as they bave already done Vir tually, tbe separate existence of the Southern Confederacy, and that this now increased : their determination to push matters to ex I tremilies, by couching their demand in such terms as would arouse the American nation i to resistance and refur-ul. But 1 propose to discuss this subject at length berealler. The despatches above referred to being duly engrossed, down to Windsor, by special train nl nnnrau went a rlprtutatinn from th M inisters, to obtain tbe Queen's approval. Hitherto, they had bad the matter all tbeir suy, but certain it is that the deputation was compelled to return to London, and to report to their associates the Queen's positive re jection of tba documents ptepared with so much care. Another Cabinet Council was held the despatches were modilied to some extent another deputation waited on tbe Queen and again her assent was denied. Sbu could not and would not approve, cither the terms ol tho derr.und or the measures still proposed. Tho steamer sailed from Liverpool on Satur day, but was ordered, by telegraph, to remain at Queeustowo, where she touched on Sunday until further orders. A third Council asseur bled, aud si ill further alterations were made, but tbe terms were still unsatisfactory to the Queen, and on the tinal meeting at W iudsor, the noble woman who rules these realms proved that authority was merely ncminal audtuughthcr Ministers that she was tbeir mistress and not their slave, by compelling tbem to abandon tbeir notion of seuding their demand by an armed fleet, and to reduce their discourteous challenge, breathing tire and fury to the gentle remonstrance and dignified re quest in wbicb form the despatches finally received her loyal approval. Tbat Queen Victoria thus acted, to a great extent, from tbe honest impulses of her own well trained mind und geuerous heart, there can be no doubt. She is a mother, and she has not for colten tbe kiud reception of the son, of whom she i proud, by tbe pecple whom she was ! called upon thos bartdily to treat witb disro- snect aud oerhaps excite luto bosliiit However little such per.-ouilitit s maybe supposed to enter into great questions of po' licy, limt-e who saw, ou a certain occasioo, not very long since, this Queen, still a woman, during a long visit rnudo at W indsnr Castle, by our then Minister and his wifeiuow at home in your midst), take every opportunity to show ! unusual attention to your townswoumn, and repeat over and over again her expressions ol motherly pride and gruutR-atiou at tbe wanuer und spirit in which ber son had jo.-t bn-u re ceived by tbe people whom bur husband re presented at this Court dropping ber regul j dignity, and frankly relieving berbeait of it a kindly utterances, us woman ar.d mother lo one wbo tbeo conventionally re-presented tbe womon and mothers ol the L-uited stales; those, 1 say, who witnessed these demonstra tions might have beeo sure tbat tbat womau that (jut-en would not so soou forget those impulses that then moved her ; aud tbat if troubles ever arose between the two nations, we might rely upon it that would, without suflirieut cause, render tbem opeu uud deadly antagonists.

KjTThe farmers of Union county bave presented a petition to tbe Legislature, asking tbat a tax of ooe dollar per bead be laid oo all dogs to ba applied to tbe support of tbe poor in tba respective districts, and if there ba oo paupers, to be applied to otber purposes for which a tax is now raised. Tbe city government of Bangor (Maine) has decided to furnish no further supplies to tbe families of sucb soldiers as sball refuse to allow at least f 10 per month of tbeir pay to tlelr families. tJT Most tf tbo trlffsrlier-geoerals and col"tie i tgagrd In thn U'e battle at Mill f-'pr'iu.

McCook, io bis report, slates that at ooe time tbe contest between tbe enemy and tba Federal troops was almost band to band, and that tbe Second Minnesota and Ibe rebels were poking their gnns throogh the same fence at eacb other. Describing tbe gullant bayonet charge of his owo regiment, General McCook says t "Seeing tbe superior combers of the enemy and tbeir bravery, I concluded tbe best mode of settling tbe cctest was to older tbe Ninth Ohio to charge tbe enemy's position with tbe bayonet, end turn his left Bank. The order was given the regiment to empty their guns and fix bayonets. This done, it was ordered to charge. Everyman sprang to it witb ala crity and vociferous cheering. The enemy seemingly prepared to resist it, but before tbe regiment reached him the lines commenced to give way but few of them stood, perhaps ten or twelve. This broke up tbe enemy's flank, and the whole line gave way in great confusion, and the whole turned into a perl ct rnut. As soon as I could form the regiments of my biigode, I pursued the enemy to tbe hospital, when we joined tbe advance." Lieut. Colonel Rise, of the Tenth Indiana Regiment, reports that his regimeol captured three stand of rebel colors, while their own colors, presented to tnem by tbe ladies of Lafayette, Indiana, and carried by tbe regi ment through Ibe battle of Rich Mountain, were literally torn into shreds by the bullets of the rebels.
