The Government of J,f. Davis is incurring
enormous expenditures in the way Of prepara-
tioh for war; and if these expenditures contin-
ue for any considerable length of time the
States composing the ''Goniederaey" will be
involved in debt to an extent that extrication
will be a matter of impossibility. The ex-
penditures now making in the military depart
nlcnt are estimated at 1920, 900 per month,
or 81 SOC, 600 per annum, and are being
largely increased by the marching of an im-
ncnse number Of volunteers into service, who
are being concentrated in the neighborhood
of Pensacola, tleir present. number being
estimated at about 5000. All the clothing and
provisions for this large force (except such as
they succeed in stealing from the General
Government) is imported from the North at
heavy expense, and can only be procured
for cash. Their "army," like the locusts oi
Egypt, will speedily eat out their substance
aud leave them bankrupt in funds and resour-
ces.

were paid off at Paris, and returned to their
homes in this city on Saturday evening last.
The entire regiment will be here as soon as

of Mr.. Blick from his position of General
Freight Agent of the Kentucky Central
Railrosd, in our paper of Saturday, we gave
bis initials as -. O." r. F. Bllck is the
name of the gentleman.
CAMP KNG,-We learn that the black
measles prevail to a considerable extent
among the troops at Camp King. There
were sixty cases in the hospitals on Satur-
day. A friend who visited the camp yester-
day, informs us that the mud there is six or
eight inches deep, and the men were wading
around through it as best they could. The
soldiers manifested considerable impatience
to be ordered into active duty, and we think
they will be gratifed shortly, judging from
the looks of things in Southwestern Ken
tucky.
FMED.-Mr. Edward H. Samuels was
fined $25 and costs, on Saturday afternoon,
by Esquire Eggleston, Mayor pro TEN, for
shooting at John Williams. The particulars
of the affair have already been published.

but all knew the fact that the State OF Ten
nessee was as far out of the Union asit could
be. AS there were several other similarcaseg,
he thought the subject brought forward by
MT. Davis should sent to the Committee on
Elections.
Mr.. Dawes thought this was an exception
to the rule, as Mr.. Maynard was elected by
large majority at the August election, and
before Tennessee had taken any steps to get
out OF the Unioni besides, the proper certifi-
Gates were here.
Mr.. Stevens asked the direct question
whether Mr.. Maynard was elected before the
State attempted to secede and at the time
fixed by law.
Mr.. Dawes replied that he was 30 informed.
and under the law which had existed for a
long time, Mr.. Stevens then withdrew his
motion.
Mr.. Maynard was sworn in.
On motion Of Mr.. Fenton IL was resolved
that committee be appointed TO join such
as may be appointed by the Senate TO wait
on the President and inform him that quo
rum of both Houses has assembled and is
ready to proceed to business.
Mr.. Hickman presented the certificate of
the Provisional Governor of North Carolina,
dated .Hatteras, as to the election of Mr..
Foster. He asked that the papers be read.
Vsllandieham raised a question of order.
The claim of Mr.. Foster was referred at
the last session of the Committee on
| Elections without favorable action.
Mr.. Hickman said this was a new question
| different from that of the former election.
The Speaker overruled Mr.. Vallandigham's
| point of order.
Mr.. Stevens, of Penn, said no harm would
be done by reference of the question, and on
| his motion the case was referred to the Com
mittee on Elections.
Mr.. Watts, delegate from New Mexico,
| was sworn in.
Mr.. Blair, of Va, successor to Carlisle, was
also qualified.
Mr. Richardson moved that Mr.. Segur be
also sworn.
Mr.. Dawes desired the case to be referred.
| Mr.. Richardson earnestly argued that Mr..
| SePur should be sworn in. The House
| should not deny the people of Accomac aud
| Northampton Counties proper representa-
ton, especially as they had laid down their
arms which they had taken up against ths
| Federal Government. All the forms of law
| had been complied with under the procla-
nation of the Provisional Government of
| Virginia.
MIR. Kellogg, of Illinois, argued that Mr..
Segur should be admitted in accordance with
the principles already settled at the extra
session.
Mr.. Dawes desired no disrespect by wish
ing the question referred. He wanted the
House to consider the subject in all its bear
| ings. 1t should be ascertained whether this
gentleman was elected by ten, twenty or one
| hundred votes, in a district where ten thou
| sand may be cast. He wanted rule they
could stand by in future.
The subject was then referred to the Com
mittee on Elections.

SPITTooEs.-A correspondent of the New
York Post writes as follows of 'spittoons" in
Washington;
Then the spittoons. think it might not
be amiss to suggest to the proper authorities
that spittOon saucepan would be the most
appropriate device as q crest for this city.
One expects TO see them in a hotel bar room,
but here they are in the parlors and bed
rooms, and so prominent in all the public
buildings that they are q perpetual reproot
to our American chewers. At the Capitol
there are huge ones each side the door, on
every staircase, in all the committee rooms !
and In the Senate Chamber itself the most
conspicuous object Is an immense spittoon,
surrounded by large oil-cloth, as if the
"hOnoEable gentlemen could not be trusted
] To do more than spit at it.
