A dramatic scene, such, venture to say. MS new

urday evening last, 9th inst, and was the egiti-
mate offspring of that strange invention, the mag

attention is at this time so universally attracted
Prof Morse, the inventor and superintendent ofthe
magnetic telegraph, and his assistant, Mr. Vail, in
their office at Washington, wished to test the in
tegrity of the telegraph line the whole distance

REMARKS OF Mr.. WrnsTER.--In the Senate

unexpected bill and speech-the bill from Mr. Ben
ton, as the Chairman OF the Military Committee,
and another supplementary War Bill, looking to the
organization of the volunteers called into the
vice OF the United States, into Brgades and Di-
visions
Mr. Webster said he should improve the occa-
sion Of the second reading Of this BILL for the pur
pose of making some remarks TO the Senate Mr.
Webster said that he was not surprised at the in-
PRODUCTION ofihis bill. For aught he knew, it
necessary but the bill showed at best, that the law
of the 18th May 1916, was what he had pronounce
ed il TO be. more than month since, mere piece
of patchwork
He knew not that he should oppose the bill now
introduced He should not pronounce it uncon.

regular.
The war with Mexico was now continued and
no could tell where ii would end, or what
would be the expense of the war An important
communication had been received from the Presi
dent and Secretary of the Treasury in regard to the
finances olthe country. In regard TO the expenses
OF the war, the President was responsible both for
the amount of them and for the application Of the
Government. No man could now see either the
end Of the war or the amount OF expense incident
TO the war.
Whatever might be thought ofthe origin of this
Mexican war, he had felt bound to recognize its
existence and the necessity of voting supplies for
its prosecution. No matter how bad the origin,
since the country was engaged in the war. No
amends could be made by refusing 10 wage it with
oil possible vigor, by refusing supplies for its
prosecution.
The Secretary of the Treasury had said thai
twenty millions would be necessary for carrying
on the war for the next fiscal year, and how was
