Mr. whiteley briefly opposed the bill, consid.
ering that il was stride towards consolidation.
Mr.. Millson oontended that the Federal Gov.
ernment should pro ide the necessary ma.
chinery for the execution Of the constitutional
power.
After further proceedings, the vote was taken,
and the bill rejected-yeas Al, nays l26.
The Speaker asked leave to lay before the
House the peace conference propositions.
Objections were made, and pending the sub.
ject, the House took a recess till o'clock.
EVENING SESSION.
The Speaker stated the question which was
pending at the time the House took recess.
Mr.. McClernand proposed that the proceed.
ings of the Peace Congress be taken up and
referred to q committee.
Mr.. Lovejoy objected to this in toto.
Mr.. Boteler wished to know whether single
member could object to the reception Of the
proceedings of the Peace Congress.
Mr.. Lovejoy said that the Peace Congress
was not known to this body.
On motion of Mr.. Hickman, there was call
Of the House, and q quorum appeared.
The Speaker, after reviewing his former de.
cision, said that territorial business was now
in order
Mr.. Grow was willing that q vote should be
taken on suspending the rules, in order that
the Peace Congress proposition might be re.
ceived.
The vote was taken, and resulted-yeas 80,
yeas 66. Not two thirds.
During the voting, some gentlemen said they
regarded this as a test vote, but others were op.
posed to its being so considered.
Mr.. Vance would vote aye, test question or
not.
Mr.. Bocock voted aye, merely in respect to
the Peace Conference.
Mr.. Garnett would vote aye, in order that he
may express his scorn and adherence OF the
Peace Conference proposition.
The House proceeded to the consideration Of
the bill to organize the Territorial Government
of Nevada.
Mr.. Grow explained that the territory was
carved out Of the western part Of Utah, EN-.
bracing $1,000 square miles, with twelve or
fifteen thousand inhabitants. The bill, he fur.
ther said, contained nothing about slavery.
The bill was passed-yeas 81, nays so.
Mr.. Grow then called up the bill providing
for the erection of the Territorial Government
Of Dacotah. He explained that the territory is
what was left outside Of the State Of Minnesota,
embracing 100000 square miles, with popu.
lstion of six thousand inhabitants. The bill
was the same as those for the establishment Of
the Territorial Governments of Colorado and
Nevada.
The bill was passed.
The House then proceeded to the considera.
tion ofother bills in relation TO the Territories.

A DEsPoTIsM SUSTAINED BY MERGE
NARIES.

NARlES.
The Baltimore Sun Of yesterday states that
on the day previous, 6fty recruits left there, to
join the South Carolina army. A description
Of them might seem superauous, as the sort Of
characters to be enlisted in such enterprises
are well understood but the Sun says, they
are mostly from Federal Hill, and, pth
some .tsw exceptions, composed Of reckless char.
acters.' The Sun adds:
1.-TWO or three weeks since, party from the
western part of the city, recruited for the same
service, left for South Carolina. A third party
expect to leave to day or tomorrow"
1t has been frequently stated from Charles.
ton, that the conspirators were making great
efforts to gil up their regiments Of regular, en-.
listed troops, and also, that the attack on Fort
Sumter would be deferred until this was done,
as it was desired to spare the lives of the mill.
tis and volunteers, which embrace in their
ranks too many whose deaths would be lament.
ed. A more suitable food for powder is found
in the scum of great cities, from which stand.
ing armies are recruited.
But an object still more impotant to the con.
spirators, is found in the control Of such regi.
ment, as are being raised in South Carolina,
Georgia, and the other seeded States, under
long terms of enlistment. I'm Georgia the
term is five years. Recruited from abroad,
or detached from all ties at home, by the ma.
ture and length Of their service, they are ex.
actly such mercenaries as military despotisms
have always and everywhere relied upon. The
conspirators are now putting the manacles on
their victims and if they can get money to
sustain armies as large as their desires, they
will have their victims bound hopelessly hand
and foot There is not q particle Of doubt
that the real object of the conspirators is a
government "on military principles" The
first thing they do in every State of which they
have usurped the authority, is to provide for
regular, standing troops, recruited from the
right material at home and abroad. JEFF.
Davis was chosen Emperor, under the name Of
President, with this view, and he signalized it
by making the chief recommendation of his in.
augural the establishment Of NUMEROUS ,osll.
disciplined, and ,0ell. instructed ARMY" Every.
thing is progressing to this ultimate object Of
desire, military despotism, resting upon such
raw material as can be collected from the
Federal Hills" of Baltimore and similar 10.
calities elsewhere.

see the gallows staring them in tho face. It
will be miserable failure. No numerous
army, Telidisciplinsd and ,oell INSTRUCTED" will
ever be mustered, and without such an army,
JEFF Davis knows that he is nothing. He is
under no delusion, except the financial delu.
sion, that those who have money to lend will
trust it to the pledges Of revolution, which is
certain to go down as quickly as it sprang into
life. 1t is the collapse Of his loan bubble which
will bring him down.

supposing it to be the Iowa First. His men
scattered considerably, and Col. Solomon's
could not be rallied. Consequently Sigel
lost FIVE Of his guns, the other being brought
away by Capt. Flagg, who compelled his
prisoners, some sixty IN number, to draw
the artillery off the field.
Our troops took some four hundred horses
and about seventy prisoners, and compelled
the enemy to barn nearly all OF his baggage
to keep it from falling into our hands.
The enemy had twenty-one pieces ofcan-
non, and at the last twerty-six, including
those taken from Sigel. They were none OF
them worked with precision, every shot for
nearly an hour going whiz twenty feet over
our heads.
Our army reached Springfield in safety,
and are now preparing to move toward
Rolla, but with no hopes whatever of reach
ing there With baggage train five miles
long to protect, it will be singular indeed,
if the enemy does not prove enterprising
enough to cut off portion of 1t, having
such heavy force of cavalry. With two
more regiments we should have driven the
enemy entirely from the valley, and with E
proper cavalry force, could have followed
up such a victory with decisive results.
Our loss is about 200 killed and coo Oh
! 700 wounded, while the loss of the enemy
must have been double our own. DR.
! Schenck, who was in the rebel camp at &
late hour last evening, bringing away Ou
wounded, reports our men comparatively
! few with those of the enemy, whose deaf
were lying thick under the trees.

Twpgscession papers in Georgetown, KY,
and one in Mount Sterling, KY, have sus-
pended
The Government does not intend to draft
soldiers for the Grand Army, all rumors to
the contrary notwithstanding.
1t will be seen by our dispatches that the
privateer JEFF. Davis is still at large, and
that one of her prizes entered Brunswick,
Ga, " during the absence of the blockading
ship Perry"
Mrs. Lincoln and suite are at Long
Branch. The Jenkinses of the New York
sensation press are chronicling what she
wears, how she looks, and what she says.
Rather fat stuff, these war times.
The Democrats of Minnesota have united
with the Republicans for the formation of
Union ticket. A few secession sympathiz-
ers are proposing a separate ticket, but they
are not recognized as Democrats by ma
jority of the party.
In the marine news of the Apalachicola

of g Vessels in Port" it is announced that
the ship Finland, Capt Jones, $50 tons,
from Liverpool, had just arrived and was
discharging her cargo.

will be evacuated. The eight cavalry COM
pauies now in camp will leave for st. Louis
via Vincennes. Sixty-ive cars have been
prepared by the e. &, G. R. R. for the trans
portation of the men and horses. The arms
and uniforms for the regiment will be fur
nished at st. Louis. Colonel Wood, we
understand, will be here to-day to swear in

to receive their outfits here, but il has been
thought best to ship them 10 St. Louis,
where they will be distributed as soon as
the companies arrive.

SINGULAR.--It is a curious but not very
satisfactory truth that in every engagement
of any magnitude between the federal and
rebel troops since the opening of the war,
the latter have been successful. We have
beaten them in sundry skirmishes but the
great battles, SumpteT, Vienna, Bethel and
Manassas, have been theirs every engage
ment that has taken place, in the West, ex-
cepting that at Boonville, has resulted in
our loss and defeat. This is lumiliating to
the whole North, and it is but meagre con-
ISOLATION to be told that there were excellent
reasons for panics and retreats. There gen.
orally are. Somebody is to blame, and we
naturally suppose the head of the admins
tratiOn is responsible. General Scott is
known to have the genius necessary, but he
has been interfered with, and we suggest
that in future the President confine himself
to asking questions and making jokes for
Vanity Fair, leaving the important affairs
of the country in the hands of those who
understand BOdnSViYe Gazette.
The Gazette appears to be in the same
predicament with many other So called De-
mocratic papers. It's luminosity to the Ad-
neutrality-suspicious. its regard for truth,
and in order to justify a charge of incompe-
tency, it resorts to Justification. It says in
every engagement of any magnitude be-
tween the federal and rebel troops since the
opening of the war the latter have been
successful" 1t styles the Vienna and
Bethel disasters as great battles, and leaves
us to infer that in its opinion the capture of
PhilIippi and Romney-the battles of Rich
Mountain and Carrick's Ford-were only
skirmishes, which didn't amount to much,
Notwithstanding they resulted in driving
the enemy from all of North Western Vir-
ginia. If this is not the light in which the
Gazette regards the victories achieved by
our gallant boys in Virginia it must ac-
knowledge that it has made false statements
in order to weaken the confidence of the put
Tic in the administration. We suggest to
the Gazette that in its attacks, hereafter, it
be certain of its facts, before it attempts as
signing reasons for them, to the disparage-
ment of government officers

A SWORD FOR Smith GAvIrT.-This brave
officer and accomplished gentleman is to be
presented shortly with sword by his pa
triotic fellow-citizens of Vanderburgh coun-
ty. We have seen the blade, and it is q
magnificent one. The inscriptions upon it
were engraved by Reed, the celebrated ar
fist at w. II. Talbot & Co.'s, East Wash
ington street. Major Gavitt will wear this
sword proudly, and WELD it as a soldier
should. We know that it will descend to
his posterity without stain upon it.

We hope to hear of them spending their

and it is broad enough for full exercise OF
their bravery and patriotism.
