vallandinghaln on Abolition Frauds.

MT. Vallandngham, of Ohio, continues to haunt his abolition prosecutors in the North and seems to be utterly regardless Of all their threats toward him. On the 20th ult, he took occasion to refer to some ot their peculations. We take the following from the report of the running debate that occurred:
 MT. Morris, of Vermont. moved that the House resolve itself into committee of the whole, and take up the bill to make an appropriation ot thirty mil lions of dollars to enable the government to pay the two and three year volunteers. Agreed to.
 A conv ersation ensued between several members as to the number of men i'll the field.
 Mir. Dawes, of Massachusetts, said it would be convenient at least to have some friend give little information as u where this thirty million go- ing. There were, he knew, skeleton regiments, composing all officers drawing their pay, and not in active service.
 Mr. Valandingham, Of Ohio, said was, accord ing to rumor, not to meet ! deficiency, bat to pro- viIe for q dedication in the war department
 Mr. Blair, ot NJ ssouri-I ask the gentleman to give the name of lis informant.
 MT. Coyode, oi Pennsylvania, (rising very ex- ctedly,) said the figures should be five hundred and seyenty-tWO thousand men. He wanted to know on what authority the gentle from Ohio made his assertion, and whether can come into this house and put difficulties in the way of the aG mInistrdton.
 MT. Vtandi2ham claimed the floor. and called the gentleman order. Ii stealing is part ot the administration, if is called treason to call it to ac cJun.. It was asceItlined that stealing was goiI g on; this rumor he had repeated. and It Was not tU De met by the cry of treason.
 Mir Coyode, Every much excitedJ- J-I deny the charge.
 Mr. Tallandinoham-I do not yield tie floor; the gentleman Is entitled to no courtesy from me.
 Much excitement oil both sides of the house, amid cries of order, orier."
 Mir. Nallandiugham resuming, remarked that it was rum0red that Secretary Chase had gone to Pcnnsy ana to confer with the exsecretary of war, Cameron, with regard to the dedication.
 Mr. Coyode, of Penn, wished to reply-but-
 Mir. Naandingham-I do not yield. The gentle man is entitled to no courtesy from me. The gen. tlemaIs manners tC0yode's) were not of such a character as to entitie him to such q courtesy; and that instead of meeting the charge as it ought to have been met, he (Covode,) indulged in threadbare and infamous insinuations. The time had gone by for all that. No man could thus now De sieuccd
 Mr. Blair, of Missouri, asked the gentleman MT. Vaandingham) whether he was responsible for the charge he had made.
 Mir Vallandingham replied that he stated it as rumor, implying a charge against the department. He wanted information to show the necessity for the passage ot this bill
 Ml Blair, of Missouri, said the remarks against this measure were unreasonable.
 Mir. ValIandngham said enough had been dis closed by the investigating committee, relative to frauds to justify him in referring to rumors of this kind. It would not do for the friend of the seere- t,ry of war to put on the garb of yirtuous indigna ton after the mass Of evidence produced by the committee on government contracts, Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, thought the pro per authorities ought to furnish some information upon which Congress should act. Nobody could fail to see in the'streets of Washington, men who ought to be with their regiments, who were after the first drafts upon the treasury The committee then rose and reported the bill to the house, with recommendation that it pass The bill was then passed
