provided for paying her apportionment of the

Mr.. Hickman (Pa.) did not see why the war
should be conduc cd differently in Kentucky

Messrs. Bingham. of Ohio, Maynard, of Ten

spoke in favor Of tho bill.
MIR. Blair (Mo.) closed the debate. In roply
t. Mr.. Lovejoy, he said We have tho best
reason TO believe that We have not men enough
In the field, for we have not beon able to con-
quer the enemy anywhere as yet, and We have
not met him at any time excepting when he
outnumbercd us. Hence we have not been able
to drive back the foe one foot.
! MIR. LoNejoy replied, accounting for this by
the fact, that the enemy will not moet US unless

Mr.. Blair.-Then why should not our army
