Congress continued, Tuesday, secret session. the
consideration Of the bill TO increase the provisions or tho
public defence as the special order for the day. is
known that in the Of the heightened debate this
measure considerable and Ill timed division of opinion
has been manifested in Congress- and has embarrassed its
action The bill reported favoraby from the Military
Committee. H,providcs for increase of military
force to the extent Of 400 900 Beyond difference
Of Judgment TO the Of the increase OF force
do not apprchend that any other features Of the bill have
been found Objectionable It does not provide for any
levy Of forces but merely authorizes tho President
ptoy the militia &C. Ia the t,uns OF the act OF 10th OF
March, and to accept the services OF any number Of von
teers not exceeding 400 000 The act referred to limited
tho number of volunteers to 100 O0 which, besides the
authorization of tho President to receive into the service
Of tho government the forces in the of the States
the 2sth Of February and tho general Of the Sh Of
May "to raise aa additional military force" constitutes
about all the support extended by the execu
tive branch OF the government, which makes dis
tnct demand TO be adequately sustained by the legsla
tive departments The issue of the debate in Congress
will doubtless be favorable the recommendations which
have been made to il by the Executive.
