WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-The report that
prevailed this afternoon throughout the city
that Gen. Scott had been appointed Secreta-
ry of War ad interim, produced thrilling
effect and produced much Indignation
among the secessionists, who are fully
aware that Gen. Scott is in favor of exten-
sive military preparations.
The truth is P. NJ. General Holt is in
temporary charge of the Department, and
tonight was attending to the duties there in
company with the chief clerk. Gen. Scott
has lot been either at the Department or at
the Presidents house to-day. Both Thomp-
son and Thomas were at the Cabinet meet
ing to-day, though rumor had declared
otherwise. Many reports prevailed, but
with no truth for their foundation.
Mr.. Bingham's bill further to provide for
the collsc1on of duty on imports, looks to
the increase of the Presidents power to en-
force the revenue laws.

the exception of Mr.. Burch of California;
The question on the adoption of the article
as amended was negatived.
Mr.. Taylor of La remarked that the de-
cislon thus reached made it clear to his
mind that there would be no agreement by
the committee on the propositions for the
adoption of amendments to the existing con-
stitution which would be effectual for set
tlement of the issue now pending between
the two great sections of the country grow
out OF the slavery question, and that in con-
sequence 1t was his purpose to take no fur

HeA- Ia to-day's paper we copy the pro-
ceedings of Union meeting held in Louis
vile, KY, by the working men. Their res
olutions and speeches, though abounding in
high-fown expressions, have much of the
true ring about them. After reading them,
with all their spread eagle flights of rhet-
oric, we are inclined to believe that the
Fourth of July" the "star-spangled ban
ner, and the " glorious bird of liberty " are
the things after all to arouse our patriotic
enthusiasm. Cold and calculating logic is
not of very elevating tendency.
