Try AGAN.-We observe in some Of our Lo.
cofoco exchanges, some remarks, purporting to
be part of a speech made by COL Doniphan, of
the Missouri Volunteers, on the return of him.

in which the following passage occurs:

me to General Wool, brought me such stray pa.

the latest dates were Of the 29lh November
consequently, we had seen nothing Of The pro.
ceedngs of the last session Of Congress, or Of
the Presidents message. The first thing cast
my eyes upon was a speech Of Mr.. Corwin. Sen.

opinion of the intelligence of their readers. In
their eagerness to viliIy Mr.. Corwn for the no.
BILE stand taken by him during the last session oi
Congress, they have resored to every means sug.
gesed by corrupt imaginatons. Garbling and
perversion of facts have, heretofore, been the
chief mode of operation. This having failed to
accomplish their nelarious purposes, they resor,
to other means. r. tell US that Mr.. Corwin

the only person concerned in that transaction
was an individual taken out of the Canton Jail

bs ahtoipted by the, President, and The

Three additional Btisa,lier Generals and
one Major Generals are 10 be appointed.
The objections 10 the mode Of appoint
ing officers Of lie volunteer. have deter
mined tho administration to call out no
more volunteers at present. The benefit
Of the army requires, that The government
should appoint the officers, as under the
present mode Of appointment some Of the
volunteersre2imenis are without field Off
GERS; and The government appointments,
on account Of the ncces.iiy Of the case,
will probably beito gool aid tried officers.
II is proposedsby the President, TO cre-
ate tile Office Of Lieutenant General. and TO
confer the same on Cal. ,BENToN. The
House Committee, on Military Affairs are
unanimously Opposed IN The creation Of
