Gen. Mcclellan, now hourly expected

Rosecraus and Morris, and Capt. Benham,
of the Engineer Corps, are all among the
prominent graduates of the United States
Military Academy.
Gen. Morris, of whom the least is known,
was noted ut West Point for his high mill
itary and scientific standing. He is by
profession, if we mistake not, Civil Engi-

that. like so many other officers now in the

marks from the Cincinnati Commercial, of

No better platform can be devised for
the Union men to unite upon in the Fall

into the House on Monday, by the Hon.

ton. it contained two distinct affirmative
propositions, and was divided at the de-
mand Of Mr.. Burnett, of Kentucky. The
first part Of the resolution reads:

The &nr--Hov 1T Goes On.

GProm the New York Times Of yesterday.I
Ten thousand fresh troops have arrived
in Washington within the last forty-eight
hours. In fact, ever since the disaster of
Sunday they have been pouring in in al
most II continuous stream. On Sunday
night, after the result Of the battle Ind be-
come known in Washington, Gov. Curtin,
of Pennsylvania, was telegraphed to for
more troops, aud in four days afterwards
he had sent on ten regiment-About four
teen thousand men-composed of men
who have had the advantage of two
months experience of camp life. And ap-
parently, this promptilude in assembling n
heavy force at the Capital is needed, and the
great care should be that its energies are
not expended in the wrong direction. An
immense amount of labor, our cores
pondent Informs, is being done upon the
Notifications upon the Virginia side of the
otomnc, but if all the reports which
reach US are to be relied upon, it is not on
that side that we are to look for an attack
from the rebels, if they intend to make
one,-and that they entertain such an in
tention now, seems to beNdmitted. Their
plrn, according TO the beat information at
tainable, is to,croSs the Potomac about for
" miles above Washington, and make the
attnck from the Maryland side,-Gen. Lee
taking command of the enterprise, while
Gen. Beauregard will move toward to en-
gage the attention of Gen. Mcclellan on
the line of dcfences at Arlington and
Alexandria Johnston will operate against
Gen. Banks, and columns will be sent
against Gen. Butler and Rosecranz. This
is stupendous programme, but the size of
the rebel army seems to warrant the lead
ers in undertaking to carry It out.

Congress will adjourn some time next
week There is strong opposition in the
House to the bill levying direct tax and
imposing internal duties. Some Republi-
cnn members vote against its various pro-
visions. 1. is claimed that it will benr
very unequnlly upon the Ngriculturist, us
it taxes real estate but not notes, bonds or
mortgages. The amendment giving to the
Secretary of the Treasury the power to is
sue notes of smaller denomination than
ten dollars, and to raise the rate OF inter-
est to nine per cent should the emergency
demand it, was agreed to in the Commit
tee of the Whole. 1t Is very doubtful
whether the bill as it comes from the
Ways and Means Committee will pass
The Senate will amend it in some respects
aud probaly by adding an income tax, ifnot
one upon notes and mortgages.

INCONSISTENCIES POSITION

Mr.. Breckenridge omits no opportunity
in the Senate to say something which shall
favor the rebel cuuse. His boldness in
this particular is worthy of n better cause.
Nothing intimidutes him, because he well
knows that he is surrounded by civilized
men who will not outrage his private
rights. He visits the rebel prisoners here
and condoles with them, and returns to
his place in the Senate to say whatever lie
can against the war, doprecdting the fact
that such outrages as the arrest and i'm
prisonment of rebels continue to occur,
and expressing the fear that our liberties
are gone, when lie knows, better than any
other man in the Senate Chamber, that
were member of the Richmond Congress
TO utter similar sentiments against the RI
bel government, and the rebellion itself,
his life would mt he worth straw. Bur
nett pursues the same course in the House
of Representatives, but he meets with more
violent rebukcs there, as the House is all
ways more personal than the Senate.

any for encouragement, in this action.
Our men fought with unsurpassed bravery,
and exhibited power Of endurance that
isreally amazing. Give those elbows who
fought aud marched for thirty consecutive
hours xith only little food and drink,
and that little of the poorest quality, "A
chance to fight on full stomach, and
when not jaded by a long march, and their
deeds will rival those of any men on this
continent. Put well appointed army of
such men under good generals, and MOTH

Large numbers of troops are now retur-

who were here on Tuesday morning Num-
boring eighteen regiments, have gone,
or will 90, to their homes. There are still
left not far from forty-fve thousand troops
in aud about Washington, who alone
would undertake to whip the rebel army

our army will, by the middle of next week,
be fully as strong as it was before the late

that, great deal stronger.
