r. The communication and accompanying documents were ordered to be printed. On motion of Mr. Sparrow, the Senate resolved itself into secret legislative session. When the doors were reopened the Senate adjourned. The House was called to order at 12 o'clock by the Speaker. The Speaker announced the appointment of the following committees: Committee to inquire into outrages committed by the enemy in North Carolina--Messrs. Smith of N.

Bruce of Ky., and Bell of Mo.; Committee, authorized by Mr. Foote's resolution, to inquire into the charge of corruption against a member of the House — Messrs Lyons of Va., McQueen of S.

charging this trust as the men upon this floor, fresh from the people, and familiar with all their wants, their necessities, and the diversified interests of an extensive country? Why, sir, we are sent here for this purpose, and when we acknowledge ourselves incapable of performing this legislative duty we should resign our seats and go back and so tell our constituents. This bill clothes the President with the powers of an autocrat. It invests him with prerogatives before which those of Napoleon sink into insignificance. Pass this hill, and no man can pursue a mechanical occupation, no man practice medicine, publish a newspaper, or ascend the pulpit and proclaim the tidings of the Gospel, without crawling to the footstool of power and humbly asking permission from an omnipotent Executive. Pass this bill, and then commences the scramble for Executive favor and patronage. We shall have the War Department and the Executive mansion beleaguered by an innumerable throng of suppliants

Mr. Foote signified his intention to move an amendment to the bill by striking out all after the word "repeal," in the fourth line. He regarded this measure as a most danhe Committee on Military Affairs, was a good reason for the temporary postponement of the bill. But as regards the announcement of the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Foote) that when its consideration should be resumed he would move to strike out all after the enacting clause, and then propose its recommitment, he would state that

ad voted for an exemption bill passed by this House, who took exception to the action of the committee, instead of proposing to refer the matter back, he should himself frame and present a bill. He doubted whether the gentleman could frame a bill which in all its details would be acceptable even to himself. At all events, the matter could be as well dealt with in the House as in committee. If the gentleman would draft a bill, he would promise him his co-operation in perfecting it. Mr. Garland, of Ark., opposed the motion of the gentleman from Mississippi. He thought it due to the Military Committee that this bill should be taken up and perfected. He certainly thought that, of the number of gentlemen composing the Military Committee, at least one might be found competent to engineer the bill through, even in the absence of the chairman. Mr. Singleton, of Miss., regretted the absence of the chairman of the Military Committee, but entirely concurred in the views expressed

Confederate States Congress. The Senate was opened with prayer by the Rev. Dr. Minnigerode, of the Episcopal Church. The President laid before the Senate a communication from Gov. Brown, of Ga., covering a copy of resolutions adopted by the Legislature of Ga., expressing a determination to prosecute the war with vigor. The communication and accompanying documents were ordered to be printed. On motion of Mr. Sparrow, the Senate resolved itself into secret legislative session. When the doors were reopened the Senate adjourned. The House was called to order at 12 o'clock by the Speaker.

entitled to the floor, moved to recommit the bill and amendments to the Military Committee, and said that that committee, at the last session of Congress, reported a bill similar to the one now under consideration. It was rejected in the House by a decisive vote. Let us earnestly hope that this bill may share the same fate. He had voted against the proposition then, and there was nothing in the condition of the country, or in the reasoning of the honorable gentleman from So. Carolina, (Mr. Miles,) that would induce him to change the opinion then entertained. He (Mr. Staples) argued at considerable length to show that the Secretary of War could not perform the duties this bill would impose upon him; that he (the Secretary) would be compelled to delegate the power to innumerable boards and agents, dispersed throughout the country; that these boards would open new sources of patronage and power; that they would be exposed to all the temptations of personal, political, and family inf

years previous to the 11th day of October, 1862, and ministers of the Gospel who were in the regular exercise of their calling at the time above mentioned. Mr. Staples, of Va., who was entitled to the floor, moved to recommit the bill and amendments to the Military Committee, and said that that committee, at the last session of the country, or in the reasoning of the honorable gentleman from So.

He (Mr. Staples) argued at considerable length to show that the Secretary of War could not perform the duties this bill would impose upon him; that he (the Secretary) would be or may resign, and I cannot tell who may be his successor. The liberties of a people are never safe when dependent upon the character or patriotism of one man. Mr. Staples insisted that the great abuses of the times did not grow out of the Exemption act.--They originated in the system of details allowed by the Government. Here is
