requires Of its supporters.
From the N. Y. HsraId's letter Of the
18th:
The Committee on Military affairs of the
House has decided to report in favor Of
five regiments of volunteers to be called
out BY the President, if deemed necessary.
Mr. Faulkner Of IVA, dissents from the
views of the majority, and will, on behalf
Of the minority of that committee, present
bill to add TO the regular army,
The Army Bill (the administration
msasure) will probably be carried early
next week in the Senate, in the shape that
Mr.. Hunter proposes-to add three rigi.
ments 10 the army.
OF the coming fight in tho Senate the
Washington correspondent Of the Boston
Travtller, writes:
In the Senate matters look more favora-
be than they did week since Under
any and all circumstances the vote cannot
be bad 10 that body on Lecompton for
two months. 1t will be remembered that
when Douglas was whipping up his party
with all bis superior powers to obtain the
vote on the repeal Of the Missouri Compro-
mise, that the meager minority Ct thirteen,
headed NY Senators Chase and Summer,
kept the vote off for sixty days during
which time the country was reused, and
ell that could be done through the pulpit,
through the press, through the mass meet
ings, through legislative resolutions, through
memorials to Congress was done. aud with
great effect. The same course will be pur-
sued now. Douglas will lead the van.
Parliamentary tactics will be exhausted;
every opposition Senator will have spoken
from the depths of his heart; the country
will have been flooded with speeches, and
aroused thoroughly before a vote can be
had on this measure 10 the Senate, and
Senator Douglas declares this vote esnnot
be had before the frat of July. All agree
that il can't be done in less than sixty
days
