INCREASE OF THE ARMY.

We fear there is but little probability of the small
increase OF one regiment suggested by the Major Ge-
neral commanding, ebeing authorized during the pre-
sent session ofCongress All least we hear no conf
dent expectation advanced by military men, and such
events are generally toreshadowed in circles which are
interested IN watching the Of legislative OPT
mon or action There is sad deficiency OF mitary
men and military knowledge il the halls of Congress
we would by no means have military influence pre-
dominate in our national councils but we should like
to see some men there hocan explain the necessity
ami proprlety of measures wien recommended by the
Executive. The Committees nd the two Houses
must either rely upon the representations of the De-
Partmeni, or apply to military men he spot for III
formation How far such reliance may be compatible
with correct and independent understu nding of the

be OF any avail, 1t seems to us that it would be wise
course and prudent economy, after determining the
utmost extent of Our military establishment to au-

annum Such course would give prospective and
certain promotion to oficers-alow time to obtain

too sudden increase would prove rather an evil
by iavoring opportunities for political other inf-
ence, instead of allowing TO the Executive an unet

as circumstances might dictate.
The addition of one regiment year to our army
would be assurance to the senior eutenant-colo-
mel, major and captain of promotion within given
period
larger sprinkng of men of business in the va
rious pursuits of life, would tend to the ex editing of
public business in Congress. As it is the profession

REVENUE CUTTER SERyIcE-Eyery winter demon
sates the value of this branch Of service by the
alacrty with which the officers repair TO the assist
ance of vessels in distress. The cutters are gen
orally too small to venture out far To in such
stormy wealthy as is frequently experienced on our
coast There should unqrestionably be at such ports
as Boston and New York. in the Delaware and Ches-
apeake bays, and on the southern coast staunch
built steam cutter Of from 300 to 500 TONS The
amount saved to the revenue would justify the outlay
Of first cost; and when to this is added the
that might be saved to the Insurance offices and TO
the aggregate wealth Of the nation, il seems but
short sighted policy which delays 50 long providing
such aids TO our revenue and commerce. 1t is like
ship going to sea with hawser, instead Of best
bower cable.
With respect to the proposition which has been
started in various quarters to unite the revenue
vice to the navy there time when we thought
such junction would be judicious on the score of
economy that is, while many officers of the navy
unemployed and rlsting from idleness. To
have dsbanded the cutter officers entirely and thrown
them out of service would have been act Of inus
tice to the whole. Many of them had served faith
fully, and were skilful well energetic officers
and being familiar with the routine could discharge
the duties better than any Others however otherwise
qualified, not so familiar accustomed TO the duty
Now that the navy has need of the services Of all
its officers think it far better for them that they
should remain in their appropriate sphere, than to de-
scend to be the detecors of smuggers. The love of
pelf would supersede the love Of glory and all the
finer feelings of the officers be absorbed in the desire
to acquire weath.-.frmy and Mary Chronicle

CONGRESS-.

On Saturday, petitions were presented by
Messrs Linn, Warren, j. t. Mason, and Goode,
of Ohio. After the report OF private bill from
Mr.. Hopkins, resolution offered some days
since by Mr.. Cross, authorizing the Committee
of Private Land Claims to employ clerk, was
taken up. A motion was made 10 lay it on the
table, and decided in the affirmative. The vote
was taken by ayes and noes-90 in the afirma-
tive and SO IN the negative.
Mr.. Everett asked leave TO introduce resou-
ton to discharge the Committee of the Whole
from the consideration Of the apportionment bill
and TO make it the order Of the day for Tuesday
next at IL o'clock, and for each succeeding day,
until disposed Of. That, at 2 o'clock on Tues
day the 22d, all debate on il should cease. OBJ
lection was made. A motion was then made
10 reconsider the vote on Mr.. Cross's resolution.
After some observations from Mr.. Brown, who
was understood TO express wish to be exc ised
from serving on the Committee of Private Land
Claims, and from Mr.. Cross in explanation of
the necessity of clerks assistance, the resolu
ton was subjected to variety Of votes; and
finally was laid on the table by vote of "a

After the reading of some Executive commu-
nications, the House went into Committee of the
Whole on private bills.
The Senate did not sit on Saturday.

The Madisonian remarks, and justly, that too
much should not be calculated upon from the mission
Of Lord Ashburton, and the friendly feeling which is
supposed to have induced it, That paper supposes
the mission is intended to bring some vexed question
to close, We may add that it is presumable the
British Government intended by il something more
than mere courtesy and certainly something more
than the settlement of the Maine and Oregon bonda-
res about which she cannot be very socitous sshe
II mains in possession of both, Butthere is another
matter in which she is deeply interested and in re-
gard to which may be assured she will move, and
that is the debts due to her subjects from the Soye-
reign States of this conedcracy. The publication of
a correspondence of the extraordinary minister with
our Government upon this subject, may be looked for
daily, and will, no doubt, much excitement
throughout the country Whether Lord Ashburton
armed with the authority Of his Government, will be
answered with the reply lately given to one Of these
creditors, is matter of much doubt. One thing is
certain--we know the demand will be made, and
more satisfactory answer required England will not
willingly go to war with this country but on every
matter in relation to the rights of her subject. She

binds her subjects to her-a principle in her govern
ment which holds il together, and may be termed its
living principle. For this she will go to war, though
she would not for any doubtful right 10 whole regions

The next thing is would we be justified in going
to war, and to make battle in defence Of what can
be deemed nothing else than our bad faith, Are
we willing to give the enemy this advantage
so great in a moral point of view The good sense
of the people, we think, will say no. Let us pay
them first and fight them afterwards. The States

The Ice CRoP HAS FALEp-A great deal has
been said within the last year on the subject of the
expectation of ice from Charlestown TO warm eli
mates. railroad having been established from the
wharves III Charlestown to Fresh and Spy ponds a
great and profitable increase in this business, to the
advantage OF all persons concerned was anticpat-
ed. These anticipations would undoubtedly have
been fully realized, were it not for trng objec-
uon-the weather has been so mild during the pre-
sent winter, that ice has hardly formed of sufficient
thickness to be taken for this purpose. Only few
thousand tons have been taken from Fresh and Spy
Ponds, and nearly all the vessels which have been
laden with ice, have taken cargoes of that MATERIAL
which was at least year old We under
stand that at the present time Fresh Pond and Spy
Pond and Mystic Pond are all open, the ice having
altogether disappeared during the late protractcd
spellof warm and moist weather. A most unusual
occurrence! And it is by no means probable that
these ponds will again freeze to the thickness of ten
or twelve inches during the present winter, and thus
even in part, make up this unexpected deficiency
me amount of ice on hand at the present time, is
unusually small, and we fear that the lovers of iced
lemonade, or sucree, in the tropical climates, will
be sadly disappointed in their expectations of recev
ing due supply Of this much coveted luxury For
1t cannot be longer disguised that the ICE cRor IA.

And strengthen the fading vision to behold, undmm'd
The lights and shadows of eternity.
