ton OF ten regiments passed the Senate this evening
The joint committee of conference OF both houses
ported modified provso TO the respective houses to-
day The House promptly agreed to it; and after some
debate upon the proviso, it adopted by the Senate
without division, but apparently by large majority
The proviso stands, authorizes the President to ap
point all the officers "beow the grade OF ied-otcers,
during the OF the Senate absolutely and not sub
ect 10 confirmation by the ensuing session OF the Senate
We shall publish the Law in tomorrow even

the enthusiasm of the country will gloriousy respond to
the wishes of the Executive, and that their energies
will be exered to officer and send our gallant troops into
the field "Now is the accepted time" for every heart
which beats with the love OF our beloved country.

the under estimate which he makes OF the volunteers

tanned in this young and powerful people We pass over
for the present other points, in which may not be
able to agree with Mr.. Calhoun.
On the bill before hm--the three million bll-Mr.
Calhoun reserves his opinion, waiting avowedy for de-
velopments which may be made upon the slavery ques
ton connected with the new territory But il the
slavery question embarasses Mr. Calhoun's vote upon
the three million bill, why does not equally embarrass
his proposed acquisition OF California and New Mexico
as territorial indemnify He tells us that he would
hold California and New Mexico, in relation to which
alone the slavery question arises and then he adds that
he cannot say whether he will vote for the three million
bill to facilitate negotiations for peace and for that ac
QUESTION and gives his for this reserve the
state OF that very slavery question IIe would
step ont OF his sphere legislator shape the whole
course of the and OF subsequent negotiations for the
purpose OF acquiring California, and all this in despite
OF the slavery question; and then he gavely
that the slavery question forces him to his opn-
ion TO whether he will vote three millions of money
for the accomplishment of any such purpose
We undertake to say that the whole country
will be most socitous to understand the grounds OF
such distinction Nothing but high and habitual
respect for the great faculties OF Mr. Calhoun prevents
us from pronouncing ita manifest self contradiction
For ourselves, neither upon this great question, noI
upon any other question, will despair OF the republic

things. let not the ghasty spectre OF anslavery agita
