ver between the masts, and four or five fell but a few yards short, making a slight ricochet. All of her shell were defective. The Lilian also opened, but her shots fell short. The scene about the engine room was now very exciting and interesting. Our energetic chief engineer. Levy, traveled between the fire-rooms and the engines, threatening and encouraging, whilst his assistants balled up waste and junk to be saturated in turpentine and thrown on top of the coal in the furnaces. Mr. Hall stood over the tub, dipping in the balls, praying, no doubt, for the imaginary speed of his favorite Patrick Henry.--Mr. Green cheered and instructed the firemen to shovel in coal, he not having much faith in the turpentine. The others attended faithfully and zealously to their respective duties. All did excellently well. The guage began to move upwards, as it always had a way of doing when Green was on watch; but it was evident that the troublesome Montgomery was doing his utmost, for h

ion, addressed to our representatives in Congress, calling upon them to urge the passage of a bill to mount and equip the cavalry, and make that branch of the service more efficient. The resolution was ordered to be laid over under the rules. Mr. Hutchinson introduced a joint resolution to encourage the production of supplies, and recommending the repeal of all laws now upon the statute books in relation to impressments. The resolution lies over under the rules. The Committee on Propositions and Grievances reported adversely to the resolution of Mr. Hall, of Wetzel, in relation to the opening of Capitol Square gates. The bill for the relief of Tucker Carrington, of Mecklenburg, to allow him eighteen hundred dollars for a slave hung by sentence of the court, in addition to one thousand dollars already appropriated, was taken up and lost, not a constitutional majority voting in favor of the bill. The House, after the disposition of some other business, adjourned.

e and my resolution." Mr. Washburne, (Republican,) of Illinois, moved that the resolution be laid upon the table. The rebels would accept no overtures except such as would be disgraceful to us. The question having been taken, the House laid the resolution upon the table — yeas, 84; nays, 51. The following are the nays: Messrs. Ancone, Baldwin of Michigan, Bass, Brooks, Brown of Wisconsin, Chanier, Coffroth, Cox, Craven, Dennison, Eden, Eldridge, Edgerten, English, Fiuck, Hale, Hall, Harrington, Harris of Illinois.

fluence in putting into the army all who ought to be there. Mr. Richardson said if it was as the member represented it — that the Legislature was not capable of attending to its business — then he would recommend that the member move an amendment adjourning the body to-morrow; and instead of members going home to urge others to enter the army, to go there themselves; for if they are not capable of being public servants in this capacity, they can, at least, be soldiers in the army. Mr. Hall, of Wetzel, opposed a precipitate adjournment; it would have a bad effect. Then the discovery of the little mistake in the estimate of the Confederate Secretary of War of over three millions of dollars, now due, necessitates a tax of one hundred per cent. above all other taxes, and the States would be called upon to bear their proportionate part.

rant will be as nothing to what will then be showered upon him by a grateful and admiring country. The Pennsylvania Legislature on the "rebellion."--entire submission Demanded from the Confederacy. The following extract, which we make from the proceedings of the Pennsylvania Legislature on Wednesday last, will show very clearly that even base submission would not secure to the States of the South the right to make their local laws. The Yankees are to take everything from us: Mr. Hall called up the following resolutions, which had been previously reported by the Committee on Federal Relations: Whereas, the so called Confederate States have taken up arms against the Government of the United States without any provocation, and for the avowed purpose of asserting and maintaining their independence, and still persist, by armed resistance to the authority of the United States, in endeavoring to overthrow the Government, and Whereas, our National authorities have d

detachment of Mosby's guerrillas was to seize the General, take him captive, and convey him to Richmond, a la Kelley and Crook. The plan was frustrated, and the ladies (!) who concocted it are now in full communion with those for whom they have exhibited such a warm sympathy. A few days ago, a scouting party under the command of Sergeant Mulligan, went up the Valley on special duty. On their return they were met by a body of guerrillas, who attacked them, killing a scout by the name of Hall, and severely wounding private Goff, of the Seventeenth Pennsylvania cavalry. The affair took place near Middletown, thirteen miles south of this town. An order has been issued discontinuing furloughs to officers and enlisted men. This looks like an early resumption of active military operations. From South Carolina--a flagship sunk.

ck P. M., when the bill, with its amendments, was passed and sent to the Senate for its concurrence. The House took up the license bill, which declares what licenses shall be taken out. In the section defining what is a billiard table, Mr. Hall, of Wetzel, obtained the floor. He was opposed to all this interference in private affairs and private amusement. Let the saloon- keepers alone. Everybody can now get as much liquor as they want, notwithstanding the law prohibiting licenses; an from Ohio county; he can drink as much liquor as anybody. The member from Ohio rose to a privileged question:-- If he could drink as much liquor as the gentleman from Wetzel, he hoped he could carry it better and show it less. Mr. Hall sat down. The consideration of the bill was continued until within five minutes of 3 P. M., when Mr. Pendleton, of Ohio county, moved, by resolution, to suspend the order of the House taking a recess at 3 P. M., and the resolution was

State, and given authority for raising thirteen regiments of cavalry for one year's service in this State. The necessary preparations are now being made for a vigorous system of recruiting to carry out this arrangement. Governor Fletcher will appoint none but first-class soldiers and unconditionally loyal as officers of these regiments, and the men will enjoy satisfaction in serving under such leaders, different from their former experience under officers appointed by Governors Gamble and Hall. The presence of the rebels in various portions of the State is indicated by an occasional guerrilla officer in the interior. Thus a guerrilla camp was surprised near Columbia, in Boone county, last week, and ten rebels killed. Again, a scout returned from the southern portion of Jackson county recently and reported that while absent the men had killed thirteen guerrillas. Again, three bushwhackers attempted to rob a house in Montgomery county, and were pursued and killed. The troops

Receiving stolen property. --James W. Eddins, who lost an arm by a premature explosion of a cannon while firing a Fourth of July salute on the Capitol Square, some years ago, was before the Mayor yesterday on the charge of receiving a quantity of iron stolen from the Gallego Mills, knowing the same to have been stolen. A private watchman at the mills testified that the iron was missed, and he subsequently found it at the foundry of Eddins & Brannan. He saw a white man and a negro drive a wagon into the foundry yard. Mr. Eddins stated that, on his return from Manchester, he found the iron there, and knew nothing about its purchase. He informed Mr. Hall, the superintendent at the mills, that it was there, and that he could have it. He had given orders to his watchman not to admit anybody into the yard. The Mayor adjourned the case over until eleven o'clock to-day and admitted Mr. Eddins to bail in the sum of two hundred dollars for his appearance.
