CONDITION OF THE Army AND NAvY.-1n
the House of Representatives on Thursday,
Mr.. Faulkner, member of the Military Com
mittee, brought to the attention of the House
the necessity of immediate action upon two
important bills which he said he was ready to
report. Referring to the present -ineficiency
of the Army, he represented it to be incapa-
bic of protecting the frontier settlements Its
ranks have been so thinned by deserlion and
the expiration of enlistmcnts that there is now
an absolute necessity for nearly five thousand
men, who cannot be obtained at the present
low rate of pay (only 81 per month, we be-
lieve) whilst many other employments are so
much more profitable. The bills referred to
other additional inducements to the soldiers,
propose further regulations concerning the
pay of the officers. and provide for the retiring
from the service of such officers as have become
unfit for duty. The House seemed to be i'm.
pressed with the Importance of these sugges-
tions, but no day was fixed for the considera.
lion of the subj, ct.
The importance Of early action upon bills
concerning the Navy was also urged by Mr.
Bocock, chairman of The Naval Committee.

Once Again 10 the Conflict.

After brief aud hollow truce, the signal of
strife between the two Grand Divisions Of the
Confederacy has again been sounded. The
passage of the Nebraska and Kansas Terrific
rial Bills is now the casus belH. These bills,
cry out the leaders of the Northern parties
shall be repealed. With equal determination, the
answer is hurled back from the South-"They
shall not be repealed" The two sections are
thus likely to be arrayed, the one against the
other, each with undivided front. This looks
more like dsunion than anything we have
yet seen. But another Compromise may come
in to dispe the tempes's gathering rage, the
South may again be led by the nose, into the
path of obedience to Northern aggression, and
so this glorious Union shall still exist.
We obserue, however, that some Southern
papers which "sang low in 81, are now threat
ening extreme measures with vengeance

that it acted then for peace and union, hut that
now there will be danger in trying its fnrbear-
ance any further. Such, too, has been the
menace held out in certain Congressional
speeches during the pending session. 1t is
pleasant TO see the dander rising thus. The
onus of meeting the present issue with the
North rests not so much upon the Secessionists
of the South as upon those who promised such

These last now control the South; and they

the coming conflict if they would not fasifl

be weaker one than that presented in the
struggle of 1850 and 81, it is their part to
bring the people to the point of resistance by
more oulstirring appeals to their pride and
honor than were made at that juncture Que

await orders with anxiety. We have forgot

may now demand. We stand prepared, either
to endure further compromises in silence with
the rest of you, or to sever the links that bind
US to the turbulent and aggressive population
Of the Northern States. Plan the campaign
and assign US our parts. The Secession flag
will not be the last to reach the field of opera
