~. a.., -. - WAS HfEcT ON June IL.
The Senate has been sitting with closed
doors until four O'Clock of each of the two
last days 1t is generally understood that
serious and solemn debate has occupied the
time employed in their sittings and that as
yet they have come to no decision on the i'm
portant question before them.
The House Yesterday sat with closed
doors from - to 4o'clock; when they adj
Ijourned, after interesting debate, without
having concluded the subject before them.
| WASHINGTON, June 13.
The Senate of the u. States have for the
two last days sat. nearly the whole time of
, their session, with closed doors. 1t is said
that much difference of opinion exists in
that body on the great subject supposed to
be before them. The public mind is yet in
I painful suspense, as to the result OF their
deliberations.
We cannot, at this moment, avoid cauti-
:. oning our friends, i'll the States eastward Of
this city particularly, against giving too rea-'
DIV credit to the thousand rumors which
find their way from this neighborhood, or
: are the offspring of busy conjecture abroad,
. 1t cannot be doubted, and we now only re-
: peat what we have said almost an hundred
:. times before, that decisive measures are IL
( the contemplation OF Congress, and that
A they will remainin session until some
4 measure shall have been adopted, having
THE. effect and character of war, against one
o. the aggressors our rights In the
disL ussion of so serious a matter, 1t Cannot
excite surprise that there should exist q
difference Of opinion, even among those
who thi2k alike, al to the proper course, OF
procedure. We believe, however, that
ths difference is more as to the mode than
, the substance. "I3' mi
