approval of the Secretary of War and several Generals and military men. The President gave a written order that a certain number of men should be left for the defence of Washington, which should be agreed on by the commanders of the different army corps. Twenty thousand of McDowell's men were retained, and the men withdrawn from Gen. Banks in anticipation of just such a movements as has just taken place. These movements were directed by the President, and he is entirely responsible. Mr. Trumbull, (rep.,) of said he should like to ask if it was not at the repeated and urgent request of Gen. McClellan that the troops be sent to him. Mr. Wilson said he understood that Gen. McClellan was very desirous of having been forces, and the President sent report of Gen. McDowell's forces, about one-third, under Gen. Franklin, to Gen. McClellan, He (Mr. Wilson) thought the events of yesterday completely vindicates the President for reserving McDowell's force. Pending the motion the

A brother of Mrs. Lincoln in Congress. --J. S. B. Todd, who has been elected delegate in Congress from the new Territory of Dacotah, is a brother of Mrs. Lincoln, and a graduate of West Point in 1837. He resigned his position in the army a few years ago, and took up a residence in Dacotah, from which Territory he was appointed a Brigadier-General of volunteers on the 19th of September, 1861. He has been, most of the time, and we believe is now, in command in Northern Missouri. William Jayne, brother-in-law of Senator Trumbull, was the opposing Union candidate.

This was passed by a vote of thirteen year to eleven days. A long discussion was entered into, Senator Sumner making a lengthy speech, at tacking the foreign diplomacy of Secretary Seward Others were made by Senators Sherman, Trumbull, Wade, &c., It was charged that Seward's policy was a Fablan one--that of delay; that he had encouraged McClellan in his delays; that his idea of surrounding the rebels was delusion; that he was responsible for sending the Banks expedition away to the Cult instead of the James river. They then adjourned over to Wednesday, when, after the adjournment of the Senate, they resumed their consultations. Senator Harris amended the resolution, to read: "That, in the judgment of the Senate, a

it of no more effect than so much blank paper. The amendment was accordingly rejected by eleven ayes against twenty-nine nays, as follows: Yeas--Messrs. Anthony, Bayard, Prowning, Carliste, Cowan, Harding, Powell, Sanisbury, Turple, Wall, and Wilson of Missouri--11. Nays--Messrs.

Lane of Kansas, Merrill, Pomercy, Sherman, Sumner, Ten Eyek, Trumbull, Wade, Wilkinson, Willey, Wilmot, and Wilson of Massachusetts--29. By this stiff and brazen vote the Senate of the United States declared their determination to treat the Constitution, which they have sworn to support, and the guarantees it throws around the liberties of the people, as a nullity. The vote of these twenty nine Senators is a damning and indelible record, not only against themselves, but against the President of the United States. It in effect declares him quite guilty

should not be at all surprised if in the course of a year, the opposition in Kentucky to the emancipation policy of the Government, should cease altogether. The Louisville Journal is gradually wheeling into line. The Journal protests against persons in that community who steal free negroes and sell them into slavery." In Congress, on Tuesday, Nebraska was admitted as a State. Yeas 25, nays 11. On Wednesday the bill to provide for elections in Tennessee and Louisiana was taken up. Trumbull called its opponents conspirators. Bayard said the bill itself was a conspiracy against the Constitution. Doolittle said before they would allow an independent empire at the mouth of the Mississippi they would reduce Louisiana to what it was before we bought a territory of swamps and crocodiles. At 12 o'clock the Senate was pronounced adjourned, and immediately called to order in extra session. The House refused to admit Nevada and Colorado as States. Adjourned sine dis. Gen. Sig

access than the everglades of Florida, and from which it would be almost impossible to drive them. They are now in a position to annoy the whites in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and the Government was extremely anxious to induce them to remove peaceably. There is much excitement in regard to the reconsideration of the appointment of Andrew Wylle, of Alexandria, one of the Judges of the District Court. The reason alleged for reconsidering the confirmation is that Mr. Wylle had threatened to chastise one of the Senators--Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois--for impugning his loyalty on the floor of the Senate.

A bounty of $50, and a furlough of 30 days, are to be given to every soldier who re-enlists for a year after the expiration of his term of service. An immense Union meeting has just been held in Chicago. Resolutions expressing the strongest and most decided Union sentiments and pledging a united support to the Government in prosecuting the war, were adopted. Trumbull and others made speeches. The Chronicle alluding to the late arrests of certain ringleaders of an oath bound society in Berks county, Pa., says "there is one feature of their widely extended conspiracy against the Government which emphatically proves it dangerous and desperate character;" that is, "to rescue from the officers of the law those who may be arrested in attempting to resist the craft, or in carrying into effect any of the other known designs of the conspirators. The alacri

Letter from ex-president Pierce. The following letter from ex-President Pierce to the late Senator Pearce, of Maryland, in regard to arbitrary arrests, has never before been published. The position assumed by ex- President Pierce is manly and decided: Concord, N. H. Jan. 15, 1861. My Dear Sir: I read with unusual interest and satisfaction the debate which occurred in the Senate on the 15th ultimo, upon the resolution of Mr. Trumbull, and desire to express my thanks for the sentiments and thoughts which the occasion elicited from you. My convictions and sympathies are with you thoroughly when you say, "I do not believe that it (imprisonment upon lettres de caches) promotes the purposes of those who desire to see this Union brought together again an object, of all others to me the most desirable, if it be possible." In my estimation, the mover of the inquiry deserves the gratitude of freemen everywhere, and only utters truth with force when he declares that "the

The undersigned, in pursuance of the above resolution, respectfully petition the President's favorable consideration and action it. accordance therewith. Which was unanimously adopted. Senator Trumbull and Representative Arnold announced their intention to telegraph the President to give this resolution his serious and prompt consideration. The committee were directed to send the resolution and petition by telegraph to the President. The Chicago Times, of the 5th, chronicles the scenes at the meeting there on Wednesday: From early dawn; through the day, and far into the night, the streets were thronged with eager and earnest men, whose words were those of deepest indig

Significant. The speech of Senator Trumbull at Chicago is significant in more respects than one. It shows that those among the Abolitionists who are able to see an inch beyond their noses begin to look forward already to a time when they may have to invoke that protection from the Constitution and the laws which they have uniformly done their utmost to prevent their adversaries from receiving. Senator Trumbull is a very unscrupulous, at the same time that he is a very sagacious politician, and no man is more deeply committed against the South and in favor of Abolitionism. Did he believe that the tenure by which the Abolition party now hold power w was an incubus which they were not bound to submit to or respect, that they have all come to regard it in that light, and now let them unteach them if they can. Trumbull and his fellows resemble the pupil of the magician, who, having raised the d — l by means of his master's spells, was unable to lay him again, and was torn to pi
