notice of the contract with the Messrs DRAPER

of the Crittenden amendment Bills were passed
giving landlords lien on crops for rents; to
raise a revenue for State purposes for 1862;
fixing the time of holding courts in the First Ju-
dicial Circus; and one or two others. The appor-
tonment bill was reported from the committee,
recommending its passage; and after a spicy de
bate, the report concurred in. Republican
members avowed their determination to make
the districts Republican, if they could; and Dem
ocratic members were equally resolved to oppose
to the last, and by all means, an unfair and I'M
just bill. The vote on the passage of the bill
not taken.
HoUsE.-A motion was made to correct the
journal, which gave rise to spicy debate between
Mr.. Cameron and Mr.. Heffren. The name of Mr..

the wall-not the bar, as the rule and usage have
it-he was present, and the House refused to
correct the journal. Mr.. Cameron read some
resolutions passed by the Democratic caucus, in
which they agreed to bolt to prevent the passage
of certain obnoxious measures, and called such
proceedings revolutionary. Mr.. Heffren replied
with spirit, and the further debate was stopped by
the Chair.

WiFfer's Hotel Seized.
Baltimore. Nov %

Baltimore, Now 90.
Somewhat of sensation was produced
this morning in the western section of the
city, by the Provost Marshal sending a
large force Of Iolice to Miller's hotel and
selling he whole establishment and all
its contents. including large number of
horses, and the contents of the bar room,
safe and vault. The object of this move
ment il said to be to PROSTATE the mail ar
rangements of the rebel sympathlzers
here. 1t is supposed that, from this ho-
tel there has been regular communication
kept UP to West River and thence to Fir-
ginia. The proprietors of the hotel have
not been suspected generally and are re-
garded as loyal men, but it is supposed
certain employees or dodgers have been
receiving and transmitting letters South.
A number of letters have been seized but
have not yet been examined. Two men
ties, VIM Hart and John Earl, have been
arrested.

Lord Lyons has not behaved like di-
plomatis' since the news that Mason and
>lidell were on their way to Fort War
rem. Although necessarily decent In his
official capacity, unothcially he is almost
impairment. In his conversation he as
sumes that there can be no question be-
tween his government and ours, for the
reason that the United States must yield
the point in controversy, and will disavow
the act of Capt Wilkes, and must return
Mason and Slidell to the bosom of the only
power which seems heartily to desire the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of this Republic. Ed
ward Everett, Edward Nj. Stanton and
Reytrdy johnson have expressed the
opinion that our right to take and keep
Mason and slidell is unquestionable

A messenger came into camp just now
and tells us that Gen Price is about nine
miles south with 10000 effective men,
and 5000 sick and disabled men This

The country for miles around is dotted

The health of the troops generally is
coed, and our company has few on the
sick list, but none dangerously ILL.,
We passed Gen. McKinstry's Brigade
on the Pomme de Terre river, where we
found the Iowa 9th, commanded by our
old friend, Col. j. A. Mcdowell, prepar-
ing for march on the morning following.
The reputation of this regiment is very
good, and it has few, if any, equals in
morals ad discipline in the field. Had
the fathers, mothers and friends of the
soldiers of the 9th Iowa witnessed the
daily evening, parade as we did, close with
an earnest prayer from the Chaplain, and
appropriate music by the band, with the
general attention and good order of the
command, they would have felt thankful
that their friends were led by Col. Nc
Dowell in this contest. He has virtually
abolished profane swearing and cardplay
ing in his regiment, and at the same time
gained the confidence of the men, As
we call to memory the Iowa soldiery let
us not forget the gallant 9th. We are all
in good spirits and ready to move forward
after that mystical parsonage, Gen. Price,
or any other traitor to our common coun-
try. We would be much pleased to meet
the Z. s. Paymaster with full purse for
the soldiers of the lst Iowa Cavalry, as
We have not met that popular officer as
yet, but we must let patience have her
perfect work. Yours, r.
