CONGRESSIONAL.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l9-In the House, Nj
Fenton, of New York, introduced resolution to
the effect that the best way Of suppressing the
national troubles is through Convention of the
whole people.
Mr. Stantons bill authorizing the President to
accept the service of volunteers came up.
Mr. Stanton said that one of two things must be
done, either to admit the right of secession or to
suppress it. That the federal army was only
$4,000 strong and that sixty days mast elapse
before 5000 men could be concentrated here to
protect the city if Virginia and Maryland should
secede
Mr. Bocock said that this was declaration Of
wa-, and appealed to those around him who were
in favor of preserving Southern rights to stand up
in resistance to the bill
Mr. Boteer thought that more efficient measure
for dissolying the Union than this bill could not
be devised.
Mr. Hindman viewed the bill as the very best
means for dissolving the Union.
Mr. Sickes said that there was no occasion for
the BILL as Mr. Lincoln has declared that there was
no danger to anybody.
Mr. Burnett Of KY said that bill involving
such momentous consequences ought to be dis
cussed.
There was great excitement throughout the pro-
ceeoings. While the roll was being called on Mr.
Winslow's motion to lay the bill on the table,
several members defined their positions against the
BILL The House refused to lay it on the table by
vote of 105 to 6S.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The House refused
to lay Stantons force bill upon the table by large
majority. The bill was discussed and many of the
border State members attacked it vehemently as a
declaration of war.
