 answer of Cambreleng'S was, that he hurried every thing along as fast as he could!
 | At last the House got to vote upon Bells amendment, and it was carried by large majority of tacenty-One! Ayes ll3-noes 9@ The Regency troops were then more discom- fitted than ever. Here it was clear there was Treason in their camp. Only the Eastern D troops from Maine, New Hampshire ana Connecticut, and New York, had dared wltn- out finching to stand the fire! The 1lll- nois lndiEna squadron had gone over 10 the enemy almost tn a mass. The Pennsyl- vania and North Carolina regiments were shattered thoroughly. There was treason Tn the whole South Tennessee had capltulat- ed almost to a man! It was clear San Ja- cinto affair~-aud the Regency were of in the woods wondering what on earth should be done. The Yankee troops were first rallied up. The Yankees are cool, and march slow but sure. Smith sounded his trumpet-and with him came the balance of Maine. Cush- man blew his little horn, and New Hamp- shire was on the ground. Rhode Island was led up by Captain Pearce of the Regiment ot two. Toucey marshalled Connecticut in line and then N. York came rushing onward under Vandcrpoel's flag. The cry now was, defeot the Forifcatio,s BiU-1HrOU it out of the House. Shall we make a charge, says Van derpoel shall we rush upon their bayonets, and make this for them Waterloo affair.- Vandcrpoel is rash and reckless soldier, and Cambreleng has a cooler head. Upon these Yankee Troops, says Cambreleng, we can alone depend. The South and West have towards in their ranks, who dare not stand the fire as the clans we command. You make rush upon the point you bounce upon Mas sachusetts, and l will make sortie with the West and South. Vanderpoel then began. Yankee cunning, you sec, is having its way. Mark how Massachusetts votcs Is the South blind? by you not see that Massachusetts wants high Tariff, and thus votes to dlstrl- bute the surplus to keep the Tariff up! l come from manufacturing district (but not a manufacturer in it relied upon you. but shall vote for the reduction ofthe Tariff, and when it is in order, an amendment will be submitted to that effect. The latter then went on. Here was a skirmish here, and there was squab:fgM there. Reynolds led in his new recruits again, and made vigorous thrust. Pickens of South Carolina, rolled up battering ram and let his catapulta on the Regency clan. At last Cambreleng appear cd prepared for the sortie with the flying troops of the South and West. Flushed with the idea of victory, "the day is ours' seem- ed to be depicted in his smiling face. "l come, says he, Mir. Speaker, with my Tariff Bill to fix as an amendment to the Bill you have on your table now" The routed squads of the South and West took courage for a moment, as their Northern general peered but somewhat inspiring cry of "on," on, y mendment in order. Now MT. Briggs, of Mass. man whose head is generally very orderly head, was sadly out of order here.- The fight was briskly renewed; for Briggs, who is an undoubted whig, seemed to give the enemy decided advantage here. The Yankees of the East rallied in mass again. Vanderpoel waved his Regency flag-and Mann and Gillet pricked the weakened sol diers into line. Cambreleng charged with his flying squad-and thus it seemed as fall were to be lost again! But Bell sounded the war whoop-and Reynolds came on with his forces from the Black Hawk war. Wander. poel just found Rhode Island slipping. out from his array, and then New Jersey fell of in mass, and Pennsylvania ran-for where the Tariff is in danger, the Northern troops will ever run. MT. Briggs decision was de- cided to be out of order. The Tariff amend ment was decidedly put down-but Cam. breleng and Vanderpoel put their heads to- gether, and resolved to try their fortunes again.
 These Tariff troops, says Cam to Van, ii seems cannot be depended upon and there. | fore we must now make a rally with squatters of Indiana, Illinois, Alabama, Mississippi Louisiana, and Arkansas. will lead them on-squatters are good fighters, you know-l will take care of the Massachusetts Yankees with them, and you must lead on the Con. necticut, Maine and New Hampshire Yan. kees to take care of the whigs of the South.' Here was fearful combination, to be sure The Massachusetts Yankees, with the Caro-. lima artillery, were the only troops, feared, that could be depended upon in rencontre such as this. The Land Bill is popular in the new States. The Van Buren troops locking shields with them would make phalanx that even Massachusetts Yankees, and Carolina artillery could not overcome. But Bell gave another war whoop-and spectacles, and mic roscopes, nor telescopes, could find the Van Buren clan! Vanderpoel, like Santa Anna, climbed up tree. Cambreleng came in, and gave himself up as Q prisoner of war. The Eastern Yankees are all to be kept as hosta- 1 ges for good behavior. It will not be my fault, 1.-the Connecticut regiment is not ever, afle1 this, kept under close lock and key.
 The whole Bill with the Notifications, anG the distribution of the Surplus except 5000, GOO, upon the same plan as last year, passed to be engrossed at 10 o'clock, on Satuday night, by an increased majority. The appro priations for the forts embrace places iron Penobscot Bay in Maine, to the Mississipp river, some for Boston, New London. Nev York, and other places South. Connection with the exception ot MT. Haley voted agains it with her Fertilization and all. All he Van Buren Yankee troops said "no." Un collard men from Illinois, Indiana, Nortl Carolina, and Pennsylvania carriedit. A vail attempt was made to change the distribution principle into that of representation instead o population. The house adjourned in the great est excitement. The Whigs were highly ela
