The affairs came to a crisis this afternoon. The previous question was moved, which, with the motion of Mr. Stevens to lay the whole subject on the table, was pending when the House adjourned. The assailants of the committee would make the country believe that the contractors are intensely patriotic and that the Government has been really a gainer by their operations; and, not content with that, have reflected upon the honesty and fairness of the committee. Some very spicy compliments passed between them this afternoon.--Mr. Roscoe Conklin made a spread-eagle speech against them, and Mr. Washburne, o

Hancock went out with a portion of his brigade for the purpose of driving the enemy from a piece of timber which they occupied in close proximity to our works.

The New York Herald again closes up the war on this continent, and makes the wonderful prediction that two weeks will bring the matter to a close: It is a singular fact that at the present time, with a million of Americans arrayed against each other in arms, we are yet within a month, or perhaps two weeks, of the end of this war. So closely do war and peace keep company, that in a few weeks we passed from state of profound quiet to all the tumult and horrors of battle. Now, while the whole land resounds with the clash of arms, we are upon the eye of peace, and soon our armies will dissolve as rapidly as they congregated, and on glorious flag will leave the battlefield to float proudly over every city, town
