A debate ensued on the question of con-
curing in the amendment
Fessenden defended the measure as COM
ing from Democratic precedent, and emil
nently necessary at the present time. If the
time ever comes when it is necessary to use

ready to do it. But this was intended as q

making this appropriation for the purpose of
making war.

whether the incoming Administration in
tends to coerce the seeding states.

son abroad in the land, there was a

ton to defend itself against foreign and

day, intended to present his sentiments at

Abstract Of the Report of The scc-
rotary Of The navy.

The duties Of the navy during the first
simmer have been threrfo'd. TO guard
the insurgent ports and coast line Of
nearly three thousand miles 70 protect
our mar time commerce and cruise IN pur~
suit Of piIaiical vessels sent out by the
Contederates and 10 take part in com.
bined naval and military expeditions against
North aud South Carolina, and The ports
Of the Infected districts. The report Of the
Secretary Of the Navy gives detailed in
formation Of the manner in which these
arduous duties have been performed.
Vessels have been sunk in Ocracokc
Inlet, on the North Carolina coast, and
others are about 10 be sunk IN tile harbors
at Charleston and Savannah.
One hundred and fiiiy-three vessels, ct
various sizes, have been captured since
the institution Of the blockade.
The Secretary reports that Flag Officer
A. II. Foote, Of the navy, had organized
an efficient naval force in the Mississippi,
auxiliary TO tie army.
OF priyateers, the report states that

beached or sunk, with the exception Of
one, the steamer Sumter, which, by some
fatality, was permitted to pass the Brooklyn.
then blockading one Of The passes Of tho
Mississippi, and after brief aud feeble
chase by the latter, was allowed to proceed
on her piraiical voyage. An investigation
Of this whole occurrence has BEEN ordered
by the Department.
The Secretary sustaius the act OF Capt.
Wilkes in capturing Mason and SlidelI.
He says admirably:
Tile prompt AMI decisive action Of
Capt Wilkes on his occasion nerited and
received the emphatic approval Of the De-
partment and il a too generous lOrbear-
ancc was exhibited by him il not capiur-
ing the vessel which had these rebel ennis
saries on board, il may in view Of The
special circumstances, and Of its patriotic
motives, be excused. But il must by no
means be permitted TO constitute prece-
dent hereafter for the treatment Of any
case Of similar infraction Of neutral obiga-
ton by foeign vessels engaged in commerce
or the carrying trade
There We're, On The 9TH Of March last,
in commission and at the service Of the
Secretary Of the Navy, only AZ vessels,
earring 500 guns, and 1900 men. There
are, to-day, in commission. 264 vessels,
carrying 2,557 guns, and over $4,000 men!
This is an immense work to do in little
more than eight months. Besides this,

Soldiers Pay.

Hon, Joseph Poland has just retained
from Washington with over $4,000 sent
by members Of the I'd, Sd, 4th and 9Th
Regiments. The funds have been placed
in different banks in the State, whence
they can be drawn by those holding Mr.
P.'s receipts. We are not yet informed
where the funds have been deposited for
this section, but DIR. p. will doubtless give
this information at an early day.
Although the 9th Regiment received
only month and haIf's pay, it will be
seen by the following extract from Val

for the tboughtfulness Of the troops aud
for the efficiency Of Capt. Dudley.

THE DOCUMENTS PROM THE STATE
DEPARTMENT.--The documents from the
State Department, submitted TO Congress
to-day, disclose the important fact that our
Government now occupies the same posi-
ton that il held 10 reference to foreign
Governments at the beginning Of the rebel
lion, and that though the United States
early offered to accept the Paris declaration
in reference TO privateering, both Eng
land and France desired to make an cxcep-
ton in favor Of the JEFF. Davis Confedera-
cy, to which the Government has refused
to yield, leaving the United States free
from any obligation to accept the Paris
declaration, while the few rebel priyaieers
are now fugitives on the high seas, or are
lying idle in Southern harbors. A resume
OF The documents shows the following to
be our relations with foreign nations
England entertains, OF at least express
SEES, no sympathy for us, but rather the re-
verse.
France has no. been cordial, but has
been less offensive than England.
Austria has been friendly, and from the
outset has declared that they would not
recognize the rebel Confederacy.
Prussia and all the Germans States
have been equally cordial
Russia has been friendly, but anxious
| for the war to end.
Sweden and Norway have been friend
ly from the beginning
Belgium Is undecided, but passive.
Holland Il disposed to follow the lead
of England at a respectful distance.
Italy Is full Of warm sympathy for cur
Government aud for freedom.
Spain, though not aggressive, has IN
evident leaning towards the JEFF. Davis
Republic.
Denmark is friendly.

The LAws.-We complete in the pres
ent number the publication of the public
laws enacted at the recent session Of the
Legislature. We hope that our readers
will comport themselves as good citizens
and give them reading. There may be
those who will fail to appreciate the style
or the sentiments thereof, but such can
console themselves with the reflection that
they come only once a year. We bad
hoped to make few comments upon these
enactmenis but time and space forbid, we
will only say that the changes which are
made by these laws upon our present code
arc for the most part slight and immaterial.

LEcTURING.--It will be seen in anoth-
er column that Mr.. S. G. Chandler is TO
give a series Of three or fouI lectures at
the Court House during this and the en-
suing week. The subjects which he pro-
poses TO treat are Of great interest. We
are informed that Mr.. G. has the happy
gift Of making himself understood on these
subjects, which are usually handled with
too much learning and technically. Mr..
c., by bis extensive travels in the Souths
EN- and Western States, as well as by the
devotion of many years study to these
subjects has made himself thoroughly ac-
quainted with this domain Of learning
He has been engaged during The fall in
lecturing at ST. Adams, Chester, Bradford,
Rutland and other points 10 this State.
He las everywhere been eminently sue
cessful in entertaining and instrucling his
audiences. From many fattering notices
by our State press, we select the following
from the Pergennes Citizen:
Scientific Lecturcs.-Prof S. G. Chan
dler, from Wisconsin, has been delivering a
course Of ably written and scientific lectures
on the " Natural Laws and Structure of
the Universe in our city the present
week, much TO the entertainment and prof
il Of those who attended them. Want Of
space alone prevents our referring in prop
err terms to the Professor as man and a
gentleman, and to the lectures as they de-
serve. We must say, however, that both
the lecturer and the subjects treated upon
are eminently worthy of public confidence
and favor, and we trust viii meet with a
cordial and profitable reception through
out our State Verqennes Cihsen.
