was in .he fact inst the money had not been

was opposed 20 pos.ponenent aad to the bill,

he should ssk lesVe &c introduce bill 70 DE
entitled " : Z Act 20 increase the army Of
the Confederate States" ha"ing for us oejec.

shoa!d present another oil, compromising
that portion Of the bill now M, which was
passed Oh Friday, providing that Ill persona
furnishing substitutes Shall guarantee their
fidelity, sud serve in their places il cases Of
desertion- The great question Of the session,
ed6ed MIR. PHELAS, hsd lot been presented.
IFas the Conscript age to be extended? This
