The renewal Of the discussion On the Omnibus
Bin marks to days proceedings in the Senate. We
have nothing, however, but the retreating dying
vollies of repulsed bsttsions. The ball cartridges
of the retiring squadrons are exhausted and we
will get nothing now but blank discharges
We very plainly foresee the course that the OPP
ponents of the feasible, happy plan of Gen. Taylor
are to take. We are to have the game OF intimi-

that have found expression, and if we understood
