Mr.. CAMBRELENG not signifying assent to this
suggestion.
Mr. MASON of Virginia, moved to amend the
item by adding $4,000 He supported the motion
by speech, in which, after urging similar reasons
10 those stated by the gentleman from Massachuselts
he quoted letter from the Secretary Of War, In
which that officer said, that II any reduction should
be made in the appropriation for armories, Il would
curtai the operations ofhose institutions and greatly
retard the supply of necessary arms, &c. He also
suggested thatthe skill thus banshed from our own
establishments might seek employment abroad.
Mr. LINCOLN warmly protested against the
idea of reducing the appropriation for the aTming
of the militia He stated that the militia were not as
matters now Stood onetwentieth part supplied with
necessary arms, and the amount ought rather 70 be
augmented than diminished. The arming OF the
militia was trust conided by the Constitution
clusyely 10 Congress. And though the arms were
furnished from private factories that was no reason
II would be polite TO reduce the appropriation for
skill in those establishments was as valuable TO the
country al large as If 1t existed IL the public armo-
ries. All the mechanics OF the country acquainted
with this branch Of work could not, in case OF an
emergency, supply the militia with arms for sim
gle month
Mr.. PETRIKEN opposed the amendment, but his
remarks were not heard BY the reporter
Mr. PRATT was understood to advocate II, but
he was sill more imperfectly heard.
Mr. w C. JOHNSON advocated the amendment,
dwell on The fourisbng state of the public armores,
the unequalled excellence Of the arms they furnish
that our muskets were the best in the world, &C.,
and expressed his regret at the idea of turning of
worlxmen who had been taught and trained in these
institutions from their boyhood.
Mr.. WILLIAMS, of North Carolina, strongly
opposed the amendment, and was glad the commit
tee thought IL proper to retreneh in any department
of the public expenditure Their good intentions
ought 10 be met, and not thwarted
Mr.. MERCER adverted TO the origin OF the pro-
vision for arming the militia by the General Gov
eminent as having first been contained in bill in
iroduced by Mr.. Randolph of Virginia. He re-
ferred the great want Of arms in the last war; and
TO the fact that detachment Of 1000 Virginia troops
were forced to march without any muskets He
secuted the idea Of reducing, in this branch Of expe-
nditure. The appropriation, instead of standing at
two hundred thousand dollars annually ought rath-
er TO be augmented to million. No nation in the
world niggardly on the subject of furnishing
arms for the national defence
Mr. CALHOUN briefly replied: when the ques-
ton being put the amendment, the ayes were 50,
the noes AZ; and on repeated trials, the committee
was found TO be without quorum.
They thereupon rose and reported that fact TO the
House, which, after an Intellectual motion for call,
adjourned.

Mr.. SMITH, of Indiana, presented petition,
numeTously signed by citizens of Evansville lndi-
ana, praying Congress to establish hospital at mat

The petition shows the fitness of Evansville as
point for hospital for the benefit OF the commerce

in those States that least 900 fiat boats go out OF
the Wabash and White rivers, laden with produce
for the lower markets, annually: that the number
is rapidly increasing; that two-thirds OF the hands
from these boats land their return, at rat place,
many Of them bringing diseases from lNew Or
leans, and other places, which render them unable
to proceed to their homes
Mr.. s. said, on his motion, Evansville had been in
serted in the resolution of inquiry on this subject
He was well satisfied of the necessity Of hospital
at that point He asked that the petition might be
referred TO the committee TO which that resolution
was directed. The petition so referred.

General Assembly of Indiana, praying aid in the
construction Of the New Albany and Mount Carmel
