;a1r "WEDNESDAY, May 8, 1861.
The House resumed the consideration of The
IL Regiment bill, when
Mr. VORIS moved to amend Mr.. Stout's
amendment by adding "as far as practicable"
which was accepted by Mr. Stout.
Mr. STOUT then defended the bill, against
the argument that it was needless or extraya-
giant. He said there could be no extravaganza |
when the country is Invaded, as our State now
is-if not in terme, at least in fact 1t was no
time to talk of economy when we are invaded
by an enemy, and the sword Of the enemy is
unsheathed and glittering 10 the MONDAY sun,
He was for the bill for the protection of his
people. His county was the most exposed in
the State. Forty thousand Southerners could
come into the hills of Monroe and kill all the
men, women and children, and eat up the cattle,
sheep and hogs, before any help mightbe given
them.
/ Mr.. McSCHOOLER replied to an insinuation
of Mr.. Stout that he was penurious in refusing
to support this bill He repudiated the charge.
He was ready, and his constituents were always
ready to apply their money promptly to repe in
yasion and protect the people from any and ev
cry enemy; but he did not believe they were
prepared to inaugurate standing army that
would cost the people more than twenty millions
of dollars. tsts ~
l. Mr.. FLAGG explained further heprovisions
of the bill, and the bin and the amendment.
Mr.. HILLS said 1t seemed that the department
! to administer these laws either does not know
the law, or entirely disregardsit. He said that,
few days ago, the Adjutant General promised
and showed him an arrangement of regiments,
| including one Of the Medina county Companies;
and now he finds that the Company is left en-
i tirely out OF the arrangement.
q Mr.. VORlS opposed the amendment as en-
l tirely unnecessary un6er the circumstances.
f Mr. ANDREWS defended the management
: Of the Adjutant General, from the remarks oi
Mr.. Hills,and contended that the Executive had
: been misunderstood. ..r frr
d Mr.. DEVORE opposed this bill az a whole
y He held that it was designed to bring into the
: field the additional regiments. He was conf
% dent that the day this bill is passed, there viii
y be ten regiments called into service and saddlet
D. upon the State. In few years it will be asked
l. by the tax payers, who made this expense with
}, out heed2 We should be cautious before VI
d act. The Governor has the power to call ou
