measure. He would inquire why the Governors of other States had not been consulted? Was the opinion of able general officers in the service and their advice heeded before the acceptance of this offer? If we have heretofore passed laws conferring the power of the President to accept these troops, then in good faith we were bound to support him. He took the view that we were under no such obligations, and felt bound to vote against the bill. Mr Wilson called the attention to the law of 1861, which clearly gave authority to the President to call for the militia in particular contingencies. Mr Conness, of California, (Union,) said he frequently gave votes in favor of measures when he had doubts as to their propriety and wisdom be cause in our present troubles he felt it his duty to do so. This measure old not receive the concurrence of his judgment, and he should vote against it. It proposed that 100,000 men should be mustered in for one hundred days, at an expense of $25,000

a list of the "minor" Yankee military operations of last year, including those on the Red river and in Florida; the great raid of Sherman, and the lesser one of Kilpatrick; the affairs at Plymouth Paducah, and Fort Pillow; then it asks: What has been the result, what has been the gain of all these operations, which have cost us in killed, wounded and prisoners not less than ten thousand men, or more than twice the number lost by Gen Grant in his great operations from Chattanooga last November? The net profit from all these terribly costly operations is — what? Well, at this time we hold Fort de Russey, and the rebels hold Fort Williams. But what beyond this can truly and positively be set down as the real gains and losses of the dozen expeditions of 1864? These are certainly startling figures (says the N. York Times) and facts; but we greatly fear that ten thousand is not an under estimate of the losses we have suffered by these small, desultory, indecisive and unproduct

ks alone at Grand Ecore are now known to have been over five thousand. It was certainly high time for the new military policy of concentration of forces and unity of action to be applied. Rebels reported to be moving out of North Carolina. A Washington telegram, of the 28th, says: Gen Butler to day telegraphed the President that from information which he had received, he believed that the rebel troops were abandoning North Carolina, and concentrating their forces with those of Lee for the defence of Virginia. It is now understood that little Washington and Newbern are safe. The rebels having accomplished all the mischief they desired, in consequence of Butler's bad management, have now ample time to concentrate their forces to guard against any possible flank movement by the York or James rivers, which the Richmond papers have recently suspected might be attempted. Miscellaneous. We learn from the Indianapolis Journal that the quota of one hundred days men

proof sheet from the printing office, and on Sunday last forwarded the same to Fortress Monroe. The cream of the whole affair is that Butler has a reply all ready to lay before Congress simultaneously with the charges. --Butler still lives. The fatal little operations of last year. The New York Army and Navy Journal gives a list of the "minor" Yankee military operations of last year, including those on the Red river and in Florida; the great raid of Sherman, and the lesser one of Kilpatrick; the affairs at Plymouth Paducah, and Fort Pillow; then it asks: What has been the result, what has been the gain of all these operations, which have cost us in killed, wounded and prisoners not less than ten thousand men, or more than twice the number lost by Gen Grant in his great operations from Chattanooga last November?

own. Our army is now in a state of demoralization. All the troops are in town, and seem afraid to go out of it. Officers and men blame each other, and unite in saying time it was a most miserable and criminal piece of generalship. Brig Gen A J Smith must be excepted altogether from condemnation. His men fought like tigers. Admiral Forter, whose dispatches come down to the 13th inst, gives quite as satisfactory a history of the campaign as the above. His flotilla arrived on the 10th in and entered the enemy's fortifications unopposed. Camden is strongly fortified with nine forts. All its approaches are well guarded, and it can be held against a largely superior force. Gen Steele's force is fully strong enough to whip Kirby Smith should he attack him. No tears need be entertained for his safety. Another exposition of the thief Butler. A Washington letter says that Pierpont a Virginian Yankee, is about to expose Butler, a Massachusetts Yankee, for thieving. It

ice. It releases 5,000 men from Gen. Grant's army for the summer campaign. The "One Hundred Days Troops" offered by the Western Governors are the subject of discussion in the United States Senate. An uneasy sort of feeling seems to be agitated at the sight of so many troops in Lincoln's hands: Mr Fessenden reported from the Finance Committee the House bill appropriating $25,000,000 for the payments of the volunteers called out for one hundred days, with a recommendation that it pass Mr Hale, of New Hampshire, (Union,) opposed the measure as unwise. While he would keep faith with every man called out by the Government, he should oppose the resolution as eminently unwise. Mr. Fessenden said whatever might be his individual opinions of the wisdom of the call, they had been offered and accepted by the Commander in Chief, and he should vote to appropriate the amount required. Mr Henderson, of Missouri, (Union,) would vote any amount of money to pay troops called out for

uction of Madison Court- House: The cavalry expedition sent out from Vienna last Thursday, under command of Col Lowell, returned to that place yesterday after having visited Leesburg, Rectortown, and Upperville. Near Upperville a portion of Mosby's guerrilla band was encountered, when a sharp fight ensued, which resulted in the loss to the rebels of two killed and four wounded, and twenty-three taken prisoners. Col Lowell lost three men killed and four wounded. Col Lowell returned safety to Vienna with the twenty three prisoners captured from Mosby, and also three blockade runners, twenty-five horses, and a large quantity of wool, tobacco, and other contraband goods picked up on the route. The expedition which was sent out last week destroyed Madison C H. The expedition met no rebels until about half a mile from the court-house, when a slight skirmish took place, in which the rebel loss was five and ours none. The rebels retreated in the direction of the court-house.
