The account of the democratic Congressional
published in the HERALD ofFrday from a correspondent
is not correct The recommendation of the committee
which he says adopted, was the contrary, set
aside and Mr. Phepss resolution carried stated
in my report yesterday. very material difference
The factious opposition which the minority is offering
in the House. TO the Collins appropriation has digusted
several who at rst inclined to oppose the amend
ment 1t is stated and believed that the minority intend
to keep up their opposition for several days yet in order
to try and force the majority into their views but this
will be useless Twenyseven cities from Bangor to New
Orleans, including those in the Wes-embracing the
mercantile commercial and mechanical interests of the
counyhave peitoned for the passage of the appropri
aon The press should speak out against the waste of
time which the minority is guilty Of If the bill
be got out Of committee vote at be had under
the operation of the previous question AS 1t is there Is
no way Of stopping the five minutes speeches
Hon Humphrey Marshall has not authorized any per-
soD to deny my statement, that it probable he
might shortly define his position. never said he
going to out against Gen. Scott and he has
said he not on the line with Messrs. Toombs
and company. Whatever Mr.. Marshall may
deem his duty to pursue he will follow it, without Ques
toning the course motives OF any of his colleagues
Mr. Corwin is expected back here in very short time
Mr. Webster will remain at Marshcd his head quar-
tiers during the summer, but will probably visit Wash
ington occasionally. lie will not return here for the
