ir~HE Trustees Of the institution
nave the satisfactionof informing
the public that on Monday the 10th
inst. department will be in operation,
under the immediate management OF
Jsseth Spencer of Yale College, for In
struction in the following branches,
viz.-Raading, writing, srithmstic, geo.
graphy and History with the use OF the
Globes, at the rate of, $40 per annun.
mathematics and natural Philosophy
with other branches Of useful and or
namental learning, at the rate OF $50
per anaum So that this department
will be calculated as we'll for the recep-
ten of such as may have finished the
usual course Of Latin and Greek stu
dies, az of those who are only intended
to be furnished with complete and
polished English education.
The advantages which this SEMINARY
combines, under its present regulation
they believe will hardly be found to De
cqualled by any other within their
kaowIedge.-First, School upon the
plan of Joseph Lancaster, IN whtth
children are instructed from the alpha
bet, and advanced to degrees OF pro-
ficiency in reading, writing, ari!hme-
tic. english grammar and geography,
with rapidity which to those unsc'
quainted with this mode Of education
might appear Incredible. The depart
ment for latin and greek, IL still under
the immediate direction OF hbial Ho'-
brook sn experienced teacher. From
eithsr of these, scholars will pass to
the first mentioned departments, as
they may be intended for classical edit
cation or otherwise.
The Trustees by ENGRAVING this adj
ditional department on the original ests-
blisi,ment, have endeavored to meet
the wishes Of many, who while they
have been sclicitous that their children
would be instructed in all the uscsui
and ornamental branches Of education
taught at the several universities, have
been deferred, either from inability In
relation TO the expence, or from unwli.
lingucss to hazard the exchange OF
moral for Intellectual treasures. They
therefore cherish hope that their en-.
deavors to obviate these difficulties,
may be found worthy Of engaging the
aid and encouragement of the public
generally, and especially Of the iaha-
bitsrts Of this place
The price o. tuition in the different
departments Of this seminary is as fol.
lows:
In the Lancaster School, $40 per an.

the Naval establishment aud the marine corps,
and to report the same To the Senate at the
commencement of their next session.
Tuesday, \ Gus.
The consideration of the motion yester-
day made by Mr.. Fromentin was postponed to
Monday next.
The Senate were engaged the whole OF this
day IN an animated discussion on the bill, re-
ported by its Military Committee. for filing
the ranks of the army. This bill contains Sc
veral provision for extending the power OF
enlistment to minors, doubling the bounty
in land, SIC. The discussion has not yet ter
minated.

on the approach of the ei,emy, by order of the
Commanding General. The committee also
reported bill for the relief of John Chalmers,
which was twice read, and together with the
report, referred to a committee of the whole
hcuse.
THE VOLUNTEER BILL.
The House resumed the consideration of
the Volunteer Bill.
The question depending at the time of adj
journment, viz. on the adoption of the section
eXempting the two years volunteers from
draft or other militia duty" at the call of the
United States, until all the militia within their
states have STRENGTHENING been again sta
ted
MIR. Fisk Of W. moved to amend it SO as
to read, that any volunteer who Shall serve
for two years, +" shall not thereafterbe enroll
ed in the militia or subject to draft or any
other militia duty during the present war"
unless when the militia shall be- called out en-
masse.
On this and the following questions. there
took place a very interesting debate, which
. reported at length would occupy some TWEEN
~ or thirty columns, and which want of tine
and room alike preciudes US from present
ing to-day.
The motion Of Mr.. Fisk was opposed by
Messrs. Pitkin IF Conf. Barnett Of Geo. and
NfKee IF Ny. and advocated by the mover,
-
Rhea Of Z. and Barbour.
Mr.. Forsyske Of Geo. spoke briefly in re-
ply to some remarks OF Mr. Desha. ~
The amendment proposed was finally ueg-
atived by the following vote:
For the motion So
Against it 81
The question recurring on the adop-
ton of the new section, MIR. M'Kee ,propo-
posed a substitute to it, nearly in the follow
ing words:
:" That all volunteers who may enter the
services of the United States under this act,
and serve out the TIM stipulated. in all future
calls for militia service under the authority
of the U. States, shall have credit for q term
of service equal to the term served by them
respectively"
On the question to agree to this sub
g stitatc, it was decided in the affirmative, ayes
p5.
After few remarks of Mr.. Fisk of VT
in objection to this amendment, and Mr.. NJ
kee In reply
The question was taken on agreeing to the
section as amended, and carried III the affir-
native without division.
Mr.. KRg of Mass. then moved an amend
raent gong to limit the number of volunteers
TO be accepted, to ten thousand.
This motion was opposed by Messrs. NJ
Kee, Troup, and Wright, and advocated by
the mover.
This proposed amendment having been a
mcnded by striking out 10000 aud inserting
MY ttouSana--
The amendment limiting the number (as a.
msnded) was asgatived, 81 only rising in the
affirmative.
Mr.. GhoL8on va. then moved to amend
the first section of the bill, by Incorporating
therein, after the Cause authorship the ac-
ceptance of volunteers, the following words
"who may be organized in companies, bat
talions and regiments, under the authority Of
any state" Scc. sc.
were debated at considerable LENGTH
Messrs. Gholson, W,ight, Sharh, and FISH
Of W. Y. advocated the amendment, and
Messrs. Wsjster and Grosvenor opposed
it.
This amendment was agreed to by the fol-
lowing vote:

IN the following section, which he conceived to
be consequent on this ; the object of which
was, as the reporter understood, to authorize
the executive to receive into the service
of the United States, the volunteer corps so
associated and organized under state author
ity.
On the proposed amendment, the debate
~as renewed with considerable zeal.
It was supported by Messrs. Ghoison, Fisk
ef ". y. Wright and RheG IF Ten. and OPP
posed by Messrs. WeSster, GrosUenor and
Macon.
The question thereon, was decided By
yeas and nays as follow
For the motion II
Against it rs
So the motion was negahved.
Mr.. GhoEson took occasion to observe, that
the rejection of this amendment, though con
sequential to the first, was of little Importance,
rs every purpose he had in view was answer
ed by that already adopted.
This Mr.. GroSUenor denied; because he
said, as the bill now stood. these volunteers,
NORMALLY under state authority, must be Of
fcered by the Executive of the U. S. &c.
To this Mr.. GhokSon replied, that the
words {" organized uRder state authority"
certainly embraced also the commissioning
che officers by the states
TO put this question entirely outcf doubt,
as he said, MIR. IIigeT8oH moved TO insert, at
ter the clause Just recited, the words, Pro-,
viaed, the officers of the said volunteers shall
be commissioned by the President of the u
nted States" This motion he supported
by speech Of some length, to which
Mr.. GbolsoH replied, also at some length. Mr..
Rbea made a few observations in opposition
so il.
Mr. johnson If Ky. rose to move the post
ponement Of the further consideration Of this
subject for the present. lie thought tpr0-
babe when the House had acted on other
measures Of more Importance than this, they
would be better prepared TO act on this sub-
iect When the committee Oh Military Af-
fairs had determined to call up this bill be-
fore the other two they had reported. 1t was
under the impression it would meet with. lit
tle or no discussion or diversity of opinion
Disappointed in that expectation, and belley-
ing himself that the provisions OF this bill we're
inconsistent with each other, and that
those provisions were wanting that were
necessary to give IL eificiency---he moved TO
lay the bill on TIE table.
This motion was agreed to; and,
