The border States had put their shar.

They were ready to pnt in the field the
1900 men asked for BY lherecsnt eall

MIR. Henderson was glad to hear that,
and be wanted it to 60 to the country that
there was no supposition Of disloyalty id

ment.
DIR. .Trumbull said he was astouished
that Senators were so united in prais-
ing Mcclellan and were yet 30 sorry TO
bear any difference Of opinion concerning

strange forgetfullness, said that General
Mcclellan has not defended himself in
