Congress iOnaI.

The Senate is still engaged in the dis
cussion of the ten regiment BILL
In the House the Presidents Message
has been disposed Of and the members
are now discussing the Loan Bill. The
bill originally called for $1s, 1000, 900, buI
at the instance of the Secretary of the
Treasury, it was reduced to $4,000, 900
Since that time, however the Secretary
has discovered some other errors in hi:
estimates, and the bill now provides for 0
loan of SIG, 100000. Mr.. Vinton thinks
that larger sum will be found to be nee
essary. That must be great Secretary
who takes longer time to hunt up the
mistakes in his reports than to make it
1t has been suggested that, had he paic
more attention to facts and spent less o
his time in trying to prove the doctrine o.
free trade, his report would have beer
more correct.
Some more hard questions concerning
the conduct of the War has been put tc
the President; but it is "yet to be seen
whether he can reply to them or not. Il
is now pretty generally understood tha
the Administration has not made out the
whole cost up to the meeting of the pres
ent Congress.
Should the rumor of peace prove cor
rect, the proceedings of Congress viii
assume new phase. The President
we think, will be compelled to transfer
the matter to the co. ordinate treaty ma
king power-then with our neighbor, the
Senior, we will say to our readers "Lool
to tho Senate" And with abiding conf
dence in the wisdom of that body, VIZ
shall patiently await the result We know
that we shall not "look to the Senate" il
vain;and once more peace will be ours

VIRGINIA AND OHIo.--The Richmond
Wing learns by letter ofthe 2Sth inst.
from Washington. that the Virginia and
Ohio Commissioners have adjourned with
out being able to settle the boundary
question. Ohio claimed the low-water
mark. Virginia claimed tho high-water
mark, but was willing to make the water
in the channel, whether high or low, the
boundary. This would make variable,
at the same time distinct and palpable
boundary. This proposition, however,
was not acceded to by the Ohio Commits
sioners, and nothing consequently had
been done.
A Partisan gentleman, speaking about
duelling, uttereth the following: "He
who skilfully or fortunately kills his man
with long scabbard, is a man of honor;
but if he kill him with short weapon
drawn from his pocket, he is arrested
and disgraced. Such is the difference
between sword and knife. So at
least have men decided!

THE WAR BEGUN.

Judge King and Mr.. Price, were both
in attendance at the Wing Convention at
Boonville. They both looked anxious for
the resultant we think, both came to the
conclusion, If they succeeded, it would be
with much more trouble, difficulty, and
hard fighting, than their predecessors, for
the last twenty years, had met. If they
did no. think So they wiu find it so.
We understand Judge King made q
speech on Tuesday night, to the citizens of
Boonville, and was answered by Maj. Rol.
Inns. We learn the war opened pretty
brisk; shots were freely given, and briskly
returned. Both The candidates are under
stood TO be good stumpers, and from the
way the campaign has opened, interesting
and exciting times may be expected
