RsasoDal of Yroops.-An order was reeelFedat CantonnaeftJ esup, last week rom ten. Gaines, directing that Col. Many and three companies of that post should immediately proceed to Canton meht Gibson, on the Arkansas, and re- port to Col. Arbuckle. The three com panies thatleaye Cantonment Jesup will be replaced by three from Cantoninent Gibson.
 There IS no reason assigned for this extraordinary movement nor do we be- lleye a good one eaa be given. The companies belong to the same regiment superiority of discipline cannot be at trIbuted to either post, nor is there an advantage of disadvantage which is not mutual.
 The route by which the troops are or dered to proceed, will be between seven and eight hundred miles, mountainous. and part eft infpsa.ssaa psa.ssabbllee bblee fof. fof. wagons.
 The expense of the charge will be thousands of dollars more, than it would have been, had the road been left to the discretion of the Colonel.
 The officers who are thus unexpeet- edly to leave us, carry with them, the best wishes of our citizens for whatever may contribute to their pleasure or hap piness.-Com.

SENATE.

April 7.-The Senate resumed. in Committee of the Whole, the bill for the appointment of an additional Brigadier General for Arkansas Territory, and no amendment being proposed, it was read a third time, and passed.
 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
 apriI 5.-The bill making appropria- tions for the Engineer, Ordnance and Quartermaster's Department, being un- der consideration, Mir. SEVER renewed his motion, formerly proposed in the Committee, for an appropriation of 5000 dollars for the constructiono of a military road from Fort Smith to Cantonment Leayenworth, in the Territory of Ar kansas, to be expended under the direc- tion of the Secretary of War.
 MT. Pettis suggested to the Delegate from Arkansas to modify his motion by designating the termination of the road at Cantonment Leavenworth, on the Missouri river, instead of sn Missouri. He enlarged on the importance of the proposed road, and expressed his opin- ion--(his disinterested opinion, for the road would not touch any part of the State which he had the honor to repre- sent)-that the road was necessary for the protection of the Western frontier.
 The amendment was negattued by a vote of 73 to 70.
 MT. SEVER then moved to appropri- ate $4,000 for that purpose.
 Mr. Be@ges spoke of the necessity of farther information previous to voting away the public money.
 Some farther discussion took place in which Messrs. Czqy, JMcDuffe, 7agIor, Leo and storrs, of N. Y., took part The amendment was finally rejected, by a vote of ayes 6l, noes 96.
 apra 9.-Mr. Drayoa, from the com tnittee on Military AAtaliaiirs Affairs, reported the following bill, which was twice read, ard referred to the Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union:
 4 BILL for the payment of certain mount-
 ed volunteers ofthe Territory of Arkan-
 sas whilst in the service of the United States. Sta
 Be it enacted, 6c. That the sum of five hundred and eighty dollars and eighty.three cents be and the same is hereby, appropri- ated, out of any moneys in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the pay ment of certain mounted volunteers of the Territory of Arkansas whilstin the service of the United States, in the year one thou sand eight hundred and twenty-eight.
