‘ The defeat of the Ship i Canal bill to-day
was not wholly unexpected, after the develop
ments of last Friday ’ao4 Saturday,! - The
friends of the bill say ttiey lost two votes In

legislature# of those States.' Also, that the
Demooratio party made it astriot party ques
tion, andunder tho leadership, of Viallandig-
took away /fromj its - support all the
TDeacqrats .from. Missouri aadNewYork,
every one. of whom- they had ample Reason
•to reckon arfavorabie to the bill till jwithln 1

Indiana who voted fer the bill were : Colfax,
White and Julian. The only members from
OWo votjng forit/were: Ashley and
The feeling over tho defeat, ot.tho bill was
unusually bitter. Mr. Washburn was par-
Ucularly conspicuous in declaring;that Con
gress had voted to smother the Northwest and
might as well adjourn. That country had
received a vital stab by to-day's action,|eto.
The friends of the Illinois and Michigan
canal, however, do not: wholly despair! Mr.
Arnold, of Chicago, has already secured the
power from the Committee on 1 Roads, and
Cabals to report again iheip oanal bill, without'
the New York and Erie amendment, and will
ombraoe the earliest opportunity to bring It
in • It must he admitted, howover, that' the
"prospects are exceedingly bad at this stage of
the session, and with to-day’s decisive action
of tho Hohie, for. the success of such a meas
ure ; they think they can get the votes of.
some of the Pennsylvanians for it who op
posed it when connected with the New York
and Erie canal, through the rivalry of local
I interests. ' "
SesiUtir Wilsdn reported from. CommiUeo
os Military Affairs, to-day, one of
important bills ever considered •In Congress.
After setting forth In the preamble the objects
of the war and the necessity of tho military
force to attain them, it enacts that every male
able-bodied cltisan of the United States, be*
tweon the ages of 13 and 45, shall constitute |
' part of the national forces, and shall be liable 1
to perform military service when called upon
by the President. A long list follows of the
classes of persons exempt from this require
ment, including an. addition to the ordinary
exempts j those who are the solo support of
tho infirm, aged or helpless, the only brother
of young orphan children, and like cases) as
nnder the Frenoh conscription law. The third
section divides tho national forces not now In
service, into two classes, va*:
First, those between 18 and 30 and the un
married above that age, and second, all othorl.
i These of the second class are not t o be called
service until the first are exhausted. ’ For
convenience of enrolment and apprehension I
of deserters, the United Stales is divldodiinto
districts, answering to Congressional districts
in tho States and Territorial. The President
is to designate districts trhero the State has
neglected to do so.] X Provolt Marshal is to
bo appointed ■for each district, with the rank
of Captain of Cavalry, subject ts the orders of
the Provost Marshal General; a Board of En
rolment for each district,consisting of the Pro
vost Marshal and two others,one of whom shall
be a surgeon, to divide into eab-dlstrlctl of J
convenientsiae;
for oaeh before March lOih, who shall by j
April report attpersons so enrolled,to be sub
ject to a call for two year* and after July lSth.
te serve dating three years or the war, and
to be .on tho same footing with volunteers.
When It Is necessary to call out the National
forei. tho President is to assign to each dis
trict the number, required, who, with .sixty
per cent, additional, shall thereupon be draft
ed. The President 1* te assign tho drafted
men to such corps, regiments, if j as the exi
gencies of fhe service may require. The bill
goel at length Iniftiotail* touching the„duties
and penalties connected with enrolment and
desertion.
This bill has been a long time the subject
of consultation ;and discussion among the
Republicans, and- will doubtless be put
through by nearly a etriotly party vote.
Will perhaps be moved pro
viding for the government procuring substi
tutes after the French fashion, when drafted
men am willing to pay for them. ' A
Another Important bill, introduced by Mr.
Sumner, provides for the esjglment
of able-bodied fciaolts between tjie age*.of 18
and4s who have been freed by.an act of,Con
gress, the proclamation of the President, or
by the commanding'officer of the department
within which they shall be found. They are
•to be araeJ, equipped and mutter
ed into the seryloa for the war.. Their pay It
to be seven dbijira per month, half to be. paid
at the end of each month, jand half at the end I
of their term of service.
Privates are also~te be entitled on their .dis
charge to tea aoiet.of, confiscated land,, and
commisloned officers to twenty-five, acres,
guohland to be occupiodas homestead by the
receiver and his family. Another . section
authorises the voluntary enlistment of free
blacks between the ages of 18 and 45 bn the
, same pay- as white volunteers. The argm-
I gate enrolled under the. act, not to exoeed
| three hundredthouiand.
vHi rnixpn is nxioo.
i The French] if letters from well Informed
peraons-at Vera Crus may be believed, are not
progressing in Mexico. Their army is rep
resented to be greatly demoralised, although'
General Forey has bad 30,250 more men un
der his oommand than General Lorens had,
but 23,000 effectivo soldiers remain. General
Forey himself has admitted in private letters
that he must have very largo, reinforcements
bofore he will! be in oondltion to take up;the
line of maroh for the city of Mexioo. Adml- j
raTDe La Gravlere admits that the expedition
is a failure. The French are coffering ;severe
iy from poor living—those up the country
from diarrhoea, and those at Vera Crus from
black small ipox. There is a jealousy
4ween the artuy, and Forey despises Oaleguy
and bis o'lquo.

Ten rifled shots struck the Keystone State;

them struck the hull; being near and below
the water line. In the meantime the Augusta,
Commander Parrott, the; Quaker City, Cisu*.
mander Fralley, and the Memphis, Acting
