Proceedings of the Federal Congress--Senator Breckinridge Supports the military bill. Washington, July 16. --In the House to-day the bill authorizing the calling out of the militia to suppress rebellion, has passed. The bill provides that the militia may be discharged within sixty days after the meeting of the next Congress unless Congress otherwise directs. The military bill authorizing the call for five hundred thousand troops, has passed with the Senate's amendments. An additional amendment has been proposed that the President shall select Brigadiers and Major Generals from the regular command. Mr. Breckinridge spoke in justification of the bill. [It is not altogether improbable but that the word justification in this paragraph should have been condemnation.]
