Des MONIES, Jan. IL.
The Senate has been all day discussing
committee reports in the contested cleo
ton case of Pollard and Dana. The Ma
jority Report declares the seats of Messrs
Bussey and Scott vacant, by reason Of
their accepting commissions in the State
service. Mr.. Mcpherson has made a
Minority Report holding that they come
whiting the exception Of the Constitution
in relation to militia officers without an
annual salary. The Majority Report
further held that the claimants are not
eligible, because the election was held
without warrant OF law, there having been
no proclamation by the Governor declar-
ing said seats vacant and an election nsc-
essary.
The resolution declaring the seats Of
Bussey and Scott vacant was carried by
ayes 20, nays 6.
On the resolution that Dana and Pol
lard be declared eligible the vote was
ayes IS, nays l9. Therefore the Sd and
lst Senatorial Districts are unrepresented
and new election is necessary.
This decision throws Henderson, Of
Warren, Taylor, Of Wayne, and Powers,
Of Chickasaw, out of the Senate, all of
whom are in the army.

DW Some pretty stories are told of the
courtship of Prince Albert and Qleen
Victoria, one of which if not true Is at
least graceful. II is stated that he play
ed the part Of royal lover with oil the
grace peculiar to his house. He never
willingly absented himself from the
Queens society and presence. and her
every wish was anticipated with the alac-
rity of an unfeigned attachment. At
length Her Majesty, having wholly made
up her mind as to the issue OF his visit,
found herself in some measure embarrass-
cd ~ to the fit and proper means Of indi-
eating her preference to the Prince. -
This was perplexing task, but the Queen
acquitted herself Of it with equal dslicaey
and tact. At one Of the palace balls she
took occasion 70 present her bouquet 10
the Prince at the conclusion of dance,
aud the hint was not lost upon the polite
and gallant German. His close uniform,

ately drew his penknife and cut slit ia

Washington, Jan 20.

Washington, Jan ~
The contracts for subsisting the New
York volunteers entered into in his own
mama BY Gov. Morgan in disregard of an
order from the War Department, assign
ing an army officer especially to this duty,
has been annulled here, as the shortest
method Of bringing this business to an
end, not only in New York, but in other
States where it has begun or the desire to
begin it painfully exists.
Gov. Curtin, Of Pennsylvania, has asked
permission Of the War Department to
send eight full regiments of infantry and
one Of cavalry now in chat State and ready
for service, upon an expedition to the
Southern coast.
The State Department has received notes
from the governments of Prussia and Rus
sia, touching the Trent question Of a
similar import to that from Astria, which
has already been published.
All the intelligence which the Govern
ment received is TO the effect that the reb-
els will have great difficulty in inducing
their twelve months soldiers to remain in
the service after their periods Of enlist
ment, on the first Of FEBRUARY. The march
homeward is likely to begin unless cir
cumstanccs unforeseen at Manassas pre-.
vent.
Herald's Special.
Recent letters received from British
statesmen confirm the statement made
some time ago in this correspondence,
that long before the occurrence Of the
Trent affair the French ministry had en-
deavored to pursuade that of Great Brit
ain to unite with France in breaking the
blockade of the Southern ports Of the
intel States Ii Hns stated positively
that NJ. Thouyenel distinctly made such
proposition to Lord Russell, which was
politely declined, not because England
was not anxious for opening the South
ern ports, but because the British gov
srnment was unwilling to take an active
part in provoking hos,ilities with this
Government, although not avsrse to the
French taking the task in hand and
throwing open the ports for their copmon
benefit.

The Post Office Department has issued
the following circular:
1t is desirable to introduce the stamped

Of the same quality as that sold by the
Government, cost more than twice as

Sd. The black lines incorporated with
this envelope not only supply u great con-
venience to many in the superscription Of
their letters, in a way in which there can
be no objection, but they also indicate the
proper position on the envelope for the
address, SO as to leave sufficient blank
for the pos. mark. thereby avoiding their
mutual obliteration, and ensuring the
speedy and safe transmission Of the letter
through the mails.
Postmasters are authorized to receive
stamped envelopes spoiled in the direction
or otherwise, Cat the rate Of stamps which
they bear, in exchange for other stamped
envelopes, upon satisfactory suidemce being
furnished that the former hare not been
used to prepay letters, great care being
taken to guard against fraud. Hence, no
envelope claimed to have been misdirect-
ed, is to be exchanged at the post Office Of
locality to which it is addressed.
Spoiled envelopes thus received should
be forwarded quarterly to the Finance
Office Of the Department. and the value Of
the stamp upon them will be placed to the
credit of the postmasters.

The inference Is quite natural. and
many make it at once, that Mr.. Stanton,
having been 4 member Of Mr.. Buchanan
Cabinet, is what.is.called = conservative. /"
Nothing could be more unwarranted. -
For years, Mr., Stanton has kept himself
aloof from partisan politics, though it was
impossible for man like him not to have
most decided and positive opinions on the
questions Of the day. When Mr.. Buchan.
an was in sore extremity in consequence Of
the tnitorous betrayal Of members Of his
Cabinet, Mr. Stanton accepted place in
his Cabinet, but reluctantly, as We have
good reason to believe, aud 0sty from mo-
ttpes Of patriotic aaiy. Nothing in his
declared opinions, or his associations war
rants the conclusion that spurious "con-
has gained anything by his
accession to the Cabinet. [St Louis

The immense proportion Of dragons
to foot soldiers, shows that Lane intends
that celebrity shall characterize his move
ments. There will be no snail pace crawl
ing along, but he will sweep forward like
prairie FIRE, enveloping and overwhclm-
ing all opposing foes.
Gen. Lane will not cucumber himself
with unnecessary baggage. He will take
along no more than is absolutely neces.
sary. He uses the light wagons of the
plains rather than the heavy cumbersome
regulation article. When his draft ami
mails give out he will replenish by confs-
cation from the rebels. He does not in
tend to depend on Washington for bread
or Secretary Chase for money. He pro-
poses to make the traitors furnish the
rations and bear the expenses of the
march.
Lane has purchased patent horse pow
er saw mill to aid the Fusileers in bridge
building. He has also bought FIVE hun
dred corn mills, being about two to CON-
pany, to be run by the contrabands. A
regiment comes to corn field the con-
trabands pitch in and husk out the corn
shell it, dry it on pans. and grind it in
the mills, and then convert it into hoe
cake, pone aud other forms of the article.

then trust to his boys to collect what they
need. The government will be subjected
to no expense on Lane account, after the
outfit is provided His men will take
care of themselves from thenceforward,
