The subject Of the Mason and Slidell surrender
was again taken up
Mr. Dixon, Of N. Y, thought IL the British gov
eminent desired a war with the United States she
could find pretext enough. Years hence nobody
viii feel the humiliation that may attach itself to
this question. Years hence, and we may have
occasion to cite this very case as a precedent.
And In such an event, we can appeal to the pre-
sent example we have made. =.
Mr Kelly, OF Pa said he In common voted
with the whole House the other day, In voting a
vote Of thanks to Capt. Wilkes. He knew since

vote, for IL was well given. Capt. Wilkes was
an officer of our Navy; Navy, alas, too often dis
honored by It's officers. Capt Wilkes saw what

escape ofthe negroes from the rebel service, whom
they We're employing on works of entertainment
as well as to bear arms. The men of our army
were engaged in the hard work digging trenches
when the rebel property were willing to do this
work If they could only receive something for It.
Before we reach a victory we will reach bank

with irredeemable circulation.
Mr.: r Conkling, from the Committee on the
District Of Columbia, reported the following re-
solution, which was adopted:
RsSolred, That the Secretary OF War be direct
