Mr. HARLAN said :: IL
Mr.. PRESIDENT: think there can be no
doubt but that the President has the power,
under existing laws, to call out more troops;
and he is probably acting in pursuance Of
that authority in the intimations given to
the Governors of the States that more would
be accepted. One object, believe, in pass
ing this bill, is to enable him to call them
out for longer period than the law now
authorizes, should he deem it necessary. II
this bill shall become law it will also be an
intimation to the President that in the opin-
ion Of Congress change of policy is desir-
able in the particulars that have been refer
red to be the Senators who have spoken this
morning. Nor do think that such an inti-
nation by Congress ought to be or would be
considered by the President offensive or un-
desirable. None who understand the frank
ness Of his nature could entertain such an
opinion. II, in the opinion of Congress,
any change Of policy, however small or
great, is desirable, Ihave no doubt he would
be gatified with clear, unequivocal express.

dent has the powe- to do all that is contem-
plated by the proposed amendments. their
adoption can do no harm. and may do good
1t divides the resp ,nsibility and should he
find 1t necessary to follow this i6tmaion,
he will have the support Of Congress. And.
on the other hand, if existing laws do not,
as some suppose, confer on him this power,
It is clearly granted by the provisions of this
bill and pending amendments. The people.
also, have right to know that the Presi-
dents policy is approved by their immedi-
ate representatives in the national legisla.

Senator from Pennsylvania, Mr. JCowAN,1 il

Archbishop Hughes on the War and
the Feeling I'm Europe.

Archbishop Hughes has addressed
letter to Secretary Seward, in which he
says:
1t has, no doubt, escaped your memory
that, during the fourteen or fifteen hours
which l spent in Washington, declined
the acceptance of what would be to per-
sons not of my rank great honor did
not absolutely refuse before deciding, but |
wished to consult one or two persons very
near and dear to me in New York Finally,
and at the very last hour, there was a word
uttered to me, not by any special member
of the Cabinet to which you belong, but by
the authority which it possesses, to the
effect that my acting as had been suggested
was personal request, and would be con-
sidered personal favor. In three minutes
] decided that, without consulting anybody,
| should embark as volunteer to accom-
plish what might be possible on the other
side of the Atlantic in favor of the country
to which belong.
What occurred On the other side /
think it would be at present, improper for
me to make public, am not certain that
any word, or act or influence Of mine has
had the slightest effect in preventing either
England or France from plunging into the
unhappy divisions that have threatened
the Union of these once prosperous states.
On the other hand, | may say that no day
no hour even-was spent in Europe in
which | did not, according to opportunity,
labor for peace between Europe and Anne
RIGA. SO far that peace has not been dis
turbed. But let America be prepared
There is no love for the United States on
the other side Of the water. Generally
speaking, on the other side of the Atlantic
the United States are ignored, if not de-
spised; treated in conversation in the
same contemptuous language as we might
employ towards the inhabitants of the
Sandwich Islands, or Washington terrific
ry, or Vancouver's Island or the settle
ments of the Red River, or of the IIudson's
Bay territory.
This may be considered very unpublished,
almost unchristian language, proceeding
from the pen of a Catholic archbishop.
But, my dear Governor, it is unquestiona-
bly, true, and am sorry that it is so. If
you, in Washington, are not able to defend
yourselves III case of need, | do not see
where, or from what source, you can eX-
pect friendship or protection. Since my
return ] made a kind of familiar ad-
dress to my people, but not for them ex-
clusively, in st. Patricks Cathedral. Some
have called it not q sermon, but dis
course, and even war blast, in favor of
blood spilling. Nothing of that kind could
be warranted by knowledge of my nat
ural temperament or Of my ecclesiastical
training. From the slight correspondence
between us, you can bear me witness that
l pleaded in every direction for the preser-
walton of peace, SO long as the slightest
hope of its preservation remained When
all hope of this kind had passed away, |
was for a vigorous prosecution of our mel
anchOly war, so that one side or the other
should find itself in the ascendancy

Suherings Of the Rebel Army.

From the Richmond Wing, 10th
A few days ago a scene was witnessed
in our streets which at last aroused the
people to lively sense of the real condi-
ton of our soldiers. A number of regi-
ments marched down Ninth street, passing
the very door of the War Department Git
liens standing near-there were no officials
present; they never are on such occasions
saw with their own eyes what papers
have long and vainly tried to make them
believe. They saw numbers of soldiers
marching barefoot through the melting
snow. Nor was this ALL They saw them
thinly clad, in ragged and WORKOUT clothes;
some ofthem without blankets and without
hats. This was spectacle to stir the pull
SEES even of a spectator.
But there were some who took good
care not to witness so disgraceful q sight
At the very moment this barefoOted pro-
cession was passing the War Department
the President of the Confederate States,
his Secretary of War, all Cabinet officers,
the Quartermaster General, and some
thousands of able bodied young clerks,
were sitting by rousing fires, toasting their
well-shod feet, and thinking of any thing
but the soldiers. 1t is not to be expected
that stout young fellows, who stink into
Government drudges in order to get out
of the army, should care much for any
body but themselves. 1t is not to be ex-
pected that an Administration, no member
of which was ever known to put his foot
inside of a hospital, or to bestow so much
as plate of soup on sick private, or to
send one of their gorgeous vehicles to
bring in the wounded, it is not expected
that such an Administration should care
very much for any thing but the snubbing
of men like Price and Beauregard. Our
political system makes them secure in their
places for six years, and it is matter of
profound indifference to them what happens
so long as they can draw their salaries
and reward their favorities with the hOnors
and bounties of Government.
