From The National htelHgencer, January7 7.
When, in yesterdays daily paper, stating the
fact Of the Presidents project of Lieutenant
Generalship being laid upon the table in the
House of Representatives, we ask what was to
come nert, we confess we did not exactly antici-
pate the next thing which did actually occur.
The first thing yesterday morning motion
was made in the House of Representatives to re-
consider the vote by which so much ofthe Presi-
dents Message of Monday as relates to a Gener-
al Officer for the Army was laid upon the table,
and the question on that motion was taken, as re-
quired, by Yeas and Nays. Ii became quite ap-
parent, in the course of the voting, that King
Caucus, or some other King, had brought to the
rescue as many members of the dominant party
as possible; not probably from any favor to this
specific recommendation Of the President, but, to
save appearances, to medicine, as they best could
the wounded which the abrupt refusal Of his po-
lnlcal friends to even consider his recommenda-
ton, would naturally have inflicted on the feel
ings of the President. AT the close of the voting
the majority appeared to be by few votes only
against the reconsideration: which being plainly
understood on the Administration side of the
House, two or three members on that side chan.
BCu NlClT NOtoSJ anu, lluS OIOuRut dOOut Hne re-
suit Of Sc Yeas, 81 Nays; and the vote was re-
considered. A single vote less changed would
have defeated the reconsideration. The ques.
ton then recuTred on ordering to lay on the table
so much ofthe Presidents Message as relates to
the appointment ola Lieutenant General; and the
House having refused (97 to 92) to lay it on the
table, the report of the Committee on Military
Affairs was referred to a Committee on the Whole
House. 1t is hardly probable that it will be again
brought forward in that House.
The House then voted upon and rejected, by a
majority of one vote, the proposition to terminate
at half past two O'Clock yesterday, the debate on
the bill for adding ten more regiments to the Ar
my oflhe United States; and the debate proceed
ed upon that bill and has not yet terminated. 1t
seems to be though. probable that the bill will De
80 amended as to substitute the same number of
Volunteers for the proposed additional force Of
Regulars. This is however, opinion merely,
which we state as we have heard it.

GovERNoR OF NEw YoRK.-The editor Of the
New York Tribune, who has just paid visit to
Albany says:
"Gov. Young looks quite broken in health and
constitution. He spends some two or three hours
daily in the Executive chamber, where he appears
cheerful and animated, but evidently by an effort.
But for the New Constitution, which has reliev-
ed him from nine-tenths Of; the appointing power
hitherto devoving on his station, he would inev-
itably be dead man within two months. We
trust he inAexibly refuses to see company at his
residence except by invitation, or to hear any
thing there of claims TO office. lie must moi
throw away his life to please any one or dozen
while two millions and half are SO deeply inter
ssted 10 its preservation"
