we1t into Committee of the Whole on inc same.
 The bill appropriates million ofdOllars.
 Mir. Wise saic that this bill was just such a bill as he thought it was, before the House went into Committee of the Whole. 1t was a bill for making war and not for suppress sing war-a bill for the further prosecution of ruinous, disgraceful and disastrous war. Give me, said Mr. Wise, the Committee I asked at the special session of Congress, and will prove that we have no war-that the war is a war of the harpies of the Govern ment who are enriching themselves upon the spells of the Government-upon the ap- propriations made by the General Govern ment. Look. said MT. Wise, to the steam boats now in Florida, at the expense of thou sands and tens of thousands to the General Government. In conclusion, Mir. Wise re- ferred to the conduct of Gen. Jesup, and Sai that his conduct was disgraceful iD the cx- treme. The whole war was iniQuituus in its origin, and base and 'treacherous in its con- tinualiOn.
 Mr. Downing, theMlelcgate from Florida, replied with much spirit to Mir. Wise. He said no Floridian was fattening upon the ap- propriations of the General Government not one.
 Mir. Wise said he made no charge against the citizens of Florida-none whatever-he only charged the harpies of the General Gov erntaent with consuming the appropriations Ofthe eneral Government, and f;,ttening up- on the spells of office. These, Mir. Wise said, were the men who were lowering like har- pies, over the carlion there.
 Mir. Downing continued, and aminadvcrte6 in strong terms upon the conduct of those men in the House, and out of the Housc, who expressed the sympathy they did for the in tercst manifested for the Indians Had these "poeF devils" as he called the Seminoles, been hung as they deServed-had the Indian Scoundrels been dealt with as Southern white men would have been dealt wiill-ifthc rope and the gallows had been used upon the h. dians as it would have been upon the white men, the war would long since have been ended. MF. Downing, in tho course of his remarks. vindicated the part the Administra. tion had taken in carrying on the war, and the amount of appropriations made for its suppression.
 MT. Thompson of North Carolina, has spo- ken in reply to Mir. Wise of Virginia, in con- detnnation of the act of Gen. Jessup in his capture of Oceola. Mr. Cilley of Maine, was rather in favor of killing off the Indians.- Mr. Everett of Vermont, was opposed to the scalping-knife arguments of MT. Cillcy and other members. Mr. Bell told Mir. Cam. breleng that he ought to be ashamed of him. selffo the manner in which he threw off the defence of the Administration upon the shoui- ders of some of the Whig members of the House. Mr. c. schooled Mir. T. for opposing MT. Wise. Mr. Thompson replied, that he had not offered one word in defence of his Mr. Roberts asked Mir. Cambreleng few questions, which MT. Cam breleng did not comprehend enough to an. swer The Chairman, however, answered the questions of one man by putting off his inquiries to be answered by another. Mir. Wise soon became his theme, and Mr Wise was, therefore, soon up in reply to the Chair man of the Appointing Committee. Mir. Haynes, of Geo. the Grand Premier Of the Administration Party, sputtered away n few moments about nopne knew what. Mir Bid de, of Pennsylvania, took the floor and was long speech, when the Commit tee rose and Jeff the Bill in statm quo, and tho The Mississippi Election has therefore been laid by for to-day.
