The House did magnificent days work. IL

and Ben Wood of New York. Mr.. Mallory OF
Kentucky electrified the House by his manly ana
out-spoken pledge of Kentucky 60 sustain the Gov

The House also passed the two hundred and nj
ty million loan bill Tor one years war expendl-
lures, with only FIVE negative votes three of whom
were Southern secessionists and two (Vallandlg-
ham and Ben Wood Northern traitors.
Mr. Vailandigham made an elaborate attack up.
on the Government, to-day, one hour long, tull OF
iasehoods and malignant treason, closing with
hypecrtica resolution that it is the duty Of patr-
OTIS to sustain the Government in Its constitutional
acts and defend the flag. The House heard the
whole, patiently, and It's only reply was the tri-
umphant vote OF one hundred and forty nine yeas
to five nays. All the Kentucky and Maryland
members except one, voted for this war loan.
The feeling mere is exuberant. The Represen-
tatives think they can go home next week.

The War News,

We publish two or three letters this week
from the seat Of war-two from members of
Company G, Of this city--giving full and ac-
curate account Of the last battle in which the
lst Wisconsin regiment took conspicuous part
The other divisions Of the army in Virginia and
Maryland have made no marked movements
during the past week. There seems to be a
general movement forward, towards Richmond,
The news from Missouri last evening was of
rather an exciting character. 1.-THE Geographic
dispatches are to be credited, Gov. jackson has
gathered force Of 10000 to 1900 troops,
which force Col. Sigol attacked with his regi.
mant only 1900 strong. The account is that
no,h parties sustained 4 severe loss-the I'm.
lonists 600 to 1000 killed and wounded and the
rebels 1880 to 1000.
