were submitted but failed the first three or four
sections. The bill establishes 116 regiments and
% brigades-an Adjutant and Inspector General to
hold the rank of Major General-all persons between
the ages of 1s and so years to perform military du
ty, except exempts. The original bill exempted
the officers and students of the University. Mr.

see no Just reason why the officers and students of
the officers and students of other Colleges and

as the amendment to strike out was carried by q
large vote. The provisions of the bill seemed to
meet with general favor until they came to the Sec

Messrs. Mebane, Bridgers Meares, Ferrebee and
Hayes, warmly sustained the same view. Messrs.

AFFECTING INcrDENr.-A few days since,
says the New York Sun, the several regi-
ments OF Gen. Sckles' Brigade were sworn
into the service Of the United States, by the
administration OF the customary oath. Four
regiments had been sworn in, and each took
the solemn oath, accompanied and followed
by hurrahs. When the fifth regiment was
drawn up in line, an officer OF one Of the
companies, stepping to the front addressed
Gen. Sickles, and requested that his regiment
might be sworn in with prayer Ii was too
solemn moment for hurrahs. The general
told him that the chsplains were absent, and
there Wis no one to call upon to perform the
duty. The officers replied that he would call
upon one under his command, il the General
would give him leave. Consent was given.
The duty was explained to the regiment, and
the officer called upon youth, seventeen
years Of age, to step to the front and lead in
prayer He immediately took the place as
signed him, and engaged in prayer. The
whole regiment was melted into tears, Us we'll

witnesses Of the scene. The men stood weep
ING after the prayer was over. So deeply
affected was the General, that he sent for the
chaplains to come and witness the scene. Ii
was from his own lips that these facts were
derived.
