The consideration of the motion yesters

‘The senate were engaged the whole of
this day in an animated discussion on the
bill, reported by its military committee, for
filling the ranks of the army. This bil
contaius several provisions for extending
‘te power of enlistment to minors, doubling
‘the bounty in land &c. The discussion

tion that it shalinot be calied upon until the
principal. war measure of session, the bill
for classing and drafing the militia, shall
have been acted on.
The committee of ways and meaus, in

day, reported a bill to estabiish a national
