Both jlonse?, to-day, adjourned over until Monday, j M"st ;nf the weekhas been spent in the dis.jussion of. two resololtdns. . One iifrelation t 6 -the. “tonnage tax,” and the other, in relation !o eotno fancied corruption in the State Government, in regard to army contracts.. A Vote htj |-not yet been taken upon either, though jail A of them 'will eventually pass without any effci iive opposition. The one in relation to the il frauds in the Army-contracts, nt one time,-<o3Turned a direct partisan shape. Tito friends the State Ad ministration were defending and were disposed to ofler the Res; Jation upon the grounds that a committee wasj; jpointedat the last session; that that coqimitt|-,j was In’sessioti" many.weeks, and that they foti Jd no fraudl in relation to the .fitting out ofr ,>or volunteers, when a message was received|fi)ni Cov. Curtin by bis. friends, asking them j-i his behalf, to challenge, the most rigid inveaT-gallon into all of his official aefs, and that heaped the reso lution would pas?. The deha|&' was kept up till the hour of .adjournment, Sod no vote was token that'day. The next city, Mr. jGreen hauok of Philadelphia, moved ti> strike out.all ■ after the word, ‘‘Resolved,’' in tlie original res olution, and in lien thereof, ibrjert one which very meekly set forth that itjiaas believed in many places that frauds had-i^jdn'committed by army contractors, therefcfj, resolved, that the Executive and Heads of.Departmente.he required to furnish this llousiT with euoh infor mation upon the ns iiipay be within their power, and the namesitj - persons wfap hate hold contracts under thjji titate, being in effect an entirely new rcaoluti jiy. , A vote will be taken upoa tipresolution pro posing tu investigate the ntt* (its whereby the tunnage tax was repealed, tl^|( ! jweek, and will pass by a large majority. Thjls resolution has been opposed with vigor, by 'jjitj friends of the Pennsylvania Rail Road, bl&lpey have been sadly worsted in the argumetiK. v It puts nmnn in a bad shape to oppose an injjistigation. It is, a? much as to say that the act’vfas a fraud—l voted, and. was paid for it-~h3ye got my share of the “little transaction - irt: ly pocket, but you shall not investigate! ■ B-sb'One man, Mr. E. C. Cowan, of Warren, who.Wjtcd for the re peal of the tonnage tax| outaiffo of Philadel phia, has been returned. Bist, one has been left to tell,the tale; The ple ads of the reso lution are confident that the*,e will be “lame docks” before the season is oypr. - There have been-several. cases.— The seat of Richard Wildeyjcf Philadelphia, with a majority of 120, was contested, because his votes were printed nppn outside “Por Assembly,/ inrtead of u Fox "Hepresontatiye.” He retained his seat, j yijl.. ' The' matter from the cOjti iies of Bradford and Somerset, made ccnSidyabln stir. The history of this case, is hriafiWas follows: In the year 1857, a new sfipiit-tltihment- whs had, and under it the .counties' and Somerset, -Orere united into;Tee Representative District, and were tq, elect tf This apportionmanl- waSimn a Democratic Legislature, and every thin V-tij, sed off quietly until the last election, i >party has now ’ two candidates, one from enhtf county.. At the last election, £. M, Shock, 0/ Superset, and 0. W.. Householder, of .BedfiiAj', ran upon the Republican ticket, and John Cessna of Bedford, and a man (I forget his natnif) from. Somerset, ran upon the Democratic. J Mr. Cessna, .made , strenuous efforts to be elected, but when the votes were counted, he was injhe minority.— Householder andfVSchrocfc of .'course, received' the certificates of the return judges. Mr. Cess na then prepared himself to contest the seat of Mr. Householder, upon the ground that the Constitution of 1798, guaranteed to Bedford, being then of sufficient ratio,*ft, separate repre sentation. Ido not here propose to discuss the fallacy of bis-position. B. $. Strang, asked and obtained leave to file hlminority rfiport when itcoald be prepared,, which, when prer , pared, will satisfy the country that if' Mr. Householder was not entitled to a sent, Mr. Cessna certainly yvas not; There are several things which appear certain ttF.-me. Mr. Cess na was elected a member oft the House in 1851 and ’52, from the' counties , of. Bedford and Cambria and no one thought, be was unconsti tutionally elected, He 1 ! certainly said nothing about it. His party made thfe'bxesant apportion ment,' and if the position ofrthe majority of the committee be correct, scarcely half of the present'House is. legally elected. Here is the query to me. The Apportionment Act. of 1857, either was or was not Constitutional. If it was, Householder was elejtdd. If the act was not Constitutional, there' has certainly been no election, i(tbe only enaction being held .in pursuance of!thnt 'act/j ;ona»qnently Mr. Cessna ennnof possibly he Phiitlad to bis seat. The majority happened to/1,4 all Democrats, and. not one of them ,a ■ A Bill, has been introdheej to enable the Fall Brook R. R. Company! li),lease the Tioga Rail Road. ’ "l , Fbakk.

By a pro vision. <>f the law! creating the reserve corps, the election of alltho-fioldofficors is conducted by the privates, And- this law is held good in Hie case of the Bucktail regiment. When Co).

The army sutler and the victim of tis rapacity, the. broadcloth clad numb-ecull who carries a gold hilted sword, and the intelligent private who, at home, ranked above him in social life' walk side by side.— The rascally army contractor who has made his thousands out of the government, jostles against the poor father who finds himself in a strange city on bis way to the camp hospital to see bis sick: soldieT son.

They are separated by the vagrant; newsboy who shouts out the 1 particulars of a battle yrbich was never fought. ■ The virtuous and beautiful of the other sets are brought into proximity for a moment with the outcast and the fallen, and still the crowd with its numberless incongrui ties and contrasts keeps moving up or down Pennsylvania Avenue, and you are lost in wonder where it comes from and goes to. Leaving these scenes behind us, we found our way to the Provost Marshal’s Office, where, with tbc.nssistanc of a line from Speaker Grow vouching for onr loyalty wo procured a pass into the land of Dixie. Armed with this we next found cur way to the Langley Stage office. A diUigence (a. hmg covered wagon, with hard seats) starts front the Clay Hotel, Washington, to Langley, a distance of eight miles, twice daily—fare one dollar. Our friend and self crept into this, with about a doxen others, and soon we were on the road to the Chain Bridge. And such a road 1 Properly speaking it was a canal filled to the depth of six to twelve inches with shiahy mud, through which the horses waded with a slow and patient gait. The jour ney was performed in just four hours, inclu ding stoppages for the .examination of passes. This lust duty was performed at the entrance to tha Chain Bridge, by Simon Doorlacher of [Wellsboro, one of the Invincibles, who was the first man we recognised. When we reached the camp of lire Sixth, it was quite dark,-but we very soon ,found “Wcllsboro Street” and friends. “city” has been so often de scribed that wc will not enlarge on if at this time. Enough that the streets are regular, the hou ses comfoi table, and the inhabitants happy as need be. Wc heard the strains of a well known song proceeding from one of the tent houses, and recognized some of the voices in the cho rus. Wo stuck our head into the hole which answers fur a door, and in a moment we were drawn bodily after it. A yell went up which might have frightened Beauregard from his position at Manassas, bad he beard it, but which did not alarm us at al). ; Such a pulling and hauling and hand shaking we never got before. It was a true soldierly greeting, and we enjoyed it immensely. The party had just concluded sapper and were finishing up with a song. The bouse .was about ton feet long, six wide, and five high, over which was stretched a com mon army tent. It was occupied by George Merrick, Jacob Scheiffelin, Josiah Coolidge and E. R. Atherton ; and nnr fri«nd and “ lo cal,” Mr. Ranudell and Ransford Webb were out taking tea with theui. Wo shall not soon forget the supper with which these boys re galed us. We never saw better bread in city or country, and we learned with surprise and pleasure that, it was baked by Mr. Wisner of this borough, who bakes for the whole regi ment. Well, we had ham and eggs,%ml butter, and beefsteak, and cheese, and a cup Of excel lent coffee, —the whole got op in Atherton’s best style. After supper, we visited until a late bout, and; we have seldom; in our life spent a happier evening than we did there. Nor shall we soon forget the pleasure which beamed from-the eyes of those to whom we carried lit tle tokens of affection from the dear ones at home. How eagerly they tore open the letters and packages ; how eagerly they listened to the news and neighborhood gossip; how they rejoiced at the prosperity of ona friend, and re gretted the adversity of another 1 Reader of this : , If you have a friend, or brother, or son in the army, r.ememher him often. If you would lighten the weary and monotonous round of bis soldier-life, write to him. It is no ex cuse that you have " nothing to write about." The soldier loves the oame of home, and if you will only awaken the old memories which bind his heart to it, he will bless you for it. This you-can do if nothing more. In the dark Hours ef night when placed on sentinel’s duty his heart comes back here to the home be has left—he visits over again all these scenes; he thiuks’of the loved ones who are sleeping, per haps dreaming of him. In the solitude of bis soul be sometimes grows suspicious, and thinks thajt perhaps the poor soldier may bare been forgotten, and be fortifies tbis'suspicion by the fact that he has not had a letter for so long.— So friends, write to the boys, and write often. Merrick arid Atherton kindly surrendered their beds to; our friend and myself, and we slept as soundly as if we had been in the best room at Willard’s. The bed was built of “ Vir ginia rails,” covered with newspapers and blankets, and as it is about two feet from the ground it is used as a settee. In one corner of the tent is a stove, in another there are cook ing utensils, provisions, &e., and over the bed is a rack which contains four guns and all the equipments, which, judging from their bright ness, the boysj seem to be very proud of. In deed Capt. Carle told us tbat the boys of Co. - ll.—the Invindtblea—usually carried away the honor* for the! good .order in which they kept their arms. It would surprise anybody not ac quainted with military life to see the amount of stuff which can be got into a tent without inconvenience; to its occupants. For breakfast we had bill of fare as for suppar wilh the addition of Wusqges. These hto not.dealt opt qs rations, hut are eupi plied by sutlers at-. California prices.

Friend Agitator. — l have just teen looking; over a number of your paper, in which I no-: tiee you publish two letters from'members ofi our company. Judging from that you still feel! the same deep interest that you have ever man-! ifested in the welfare of our country, and those! that have left their., horags and gone, forth to; protect its integrity. I thought a few lines, from mo, might be acceptable to you and your; readers. Ido not expect to furnish you wichi any important “items” of news, as we are do ing but little ourselves, and outside our own' camp, you have a better .opportunity of learn ing what is transpiring than we, and as it is not ns customary for us to speculate on what is about to be done, as it is for those that are farther removed from the scenes of action.— We frequently buckle on our armor, saddle.and mount our steeds, and sally forth from ourj camp, without any knowledge where, or for what purpose we are going; nor are we wont; to enquire into the whys and wherefores of ourl movements. We feel confident that wherever! we go, we are under the guidance of a maoj who knows bis business, and is equal to the emergency. lam of tbo opinion that wero the same caution and secrecy used by the comman ders of all-departments..that are used by Gen eral Wool, in conducting this, the rebels would know less of our plans and movements, and consequently would be less successful in thwart-; ing them. I We occasionally go out and drive i.n a rebel 1 scouting party, but they invariably retreat, j without showing any disposition to fight. Thus! far we have had no opportunity of doing much | in the way of fighting, but we have done a< a goodly amount of hard, tedious marching—! but there never was a time so rainy, so cold, so dork, or so muddy, but what every member of oar company, would hail with shouts of joy, an order to march. There is nothing they dislike so much as inactivity, and nothing that suits them os welt as something having the ap pearance of a blow towards accomplishing the object of their mission. Since penning the above, a member of our company, who has been out on picket duty, has returned to camp pith a dispatch to the Commander, stating that a party of rebels hafe crossed a creek near our pickets, and already two or thrte companies of infantry, are "en route” to drive them back, notwithstanding tis late in the evening, and raining very bard. (The rebels will, of course, retreat on their ar rival.) We have but very little cold, but any amount of wet weather; it rains nearly half the time—to-day has been vqry warm and pleasant. This evening we are having a regu lar thunder storm; twas not till I went to the door of my tent,' and listened, that I could toll the distant thornier from the booming of artil lery that we are wont to hear. In one respect, we have been nnfortuuate ; oar captain (Calkins) was taken sick soon after we oaroa into camp, and after suffering some time, had hardly recovered when ha was at tjekpd spvercly with typhoid fever, and was obliged to I pave cqmp, Our first lieutenant (hfifchelUj has beep Iqbprlug qndor ah qttapk of bronebuis, for the past month, qnd l« now in the Hospital; but we qra happy tq say they are both recovering, and we are in hopes they will soon be able to join as. Oar situation is a good one for winter quar fprs. Old Point, is one of the most convenient ppints to get supplies to; that we have;“we are well supplied with everything we need.
