SALISBURY AGAIN.

In the United States Senate, on Wednesday,
Hon. Willard salisbury who not only misrePre
scnts the feelings and sentiments Of the people OF
Delaware, in that body, but seems determined to
make fool of himself by his silly capers, met
with another rebuke which he must have keenly
felt. We think we eau see the honorable Senator
looking about for dark corner Of the Senate
chamber in which to poke his aching head, after
the vote upon his amendment to the army bill
had been announced Even Mr.. Bayard could
not support poor Slulsburys silly motion. The
proceedings were, in brief, AS follows

-ideut to accept the services OF such number OF
volunteers as he shall deem necessary, not ex-
/ ceeding 500 600, and provides for the Thanking
privilege to. Colonies, Lieutenant Cooues, Ma
. jors, Adjutauts, and Quartermasters.
After considerable discussion upon several
L. points in the bill Mr.. Salisbury moved To strike
p out 100000 as the number OF troops pnd insert
