LEGISLATIVE SUM M AIRY.

A great number of petitions, signed by
members of the Society of Friends, or
Quakers, asking exemption from military
duty on the ground that they cannot CON
scientiously fight under any circumstan-
ces, were presented to the Senate yester-
day morning.
Another Bill providing for taking the
votes of citizen soldiers in the field, was
introduced by Mr.. Woolson.
Mr.. McCrary, Of Lee, introduced Bill
making further regulations in relation to
drafting and guarding against imposition
in obtaining exemption certificates.
Mr.. Cue introduced Bill accepting
the grant of land lately made by Congress,
and providing for carrying the same into
effect.
Mr.. Shaffer introduced Bill repeating
Chapter l55, laws of the Ninth General
Assembly.
Mr.. McCIary, Of Van Buren,, offered a
resolution, which was adopted, instructing
the Committee on Military Affairs to re-.
port Bill providing for the enrolment
and organization of the entire militia of
the State. If the Bill should require
every able bodied man in the State to de-
vote at least one day of each week to
military drill in an organized Company
of the militia, it would prove the most
efficient war measure of the session

l had glimpse at things at Washing
ton within the last forty-eight hours. -
Perhaps what / saw, or thought saw,
may not be interdicted. If not, it will
not be uninteresting.
Had it not been for the unnecessary
delays with which the army Of the Poto-
mac was extricated from its cul de sac on
the James River and transported to the
line Of the Rappahannock, as reinforce
ments for the army Of Virginia, it is now
seen that Pope would never have been
obliged to retire from the line of the Ra-
pidan. The public eye is fixed upon the
authors Of these delays, which came 50
near proving fatal to the army of Virginia,
and it will not be long before the finger
of Indignation will be directed with with
ering influence upon the mischief makers.
It Is now evident that had Pope's or
der 70 tho dehulting army corps at Al
exandria to move on to Manassas Junction,
and protect his right from descent Of the
enemy through the Thoroughfare Gap,
been obsyed, his rear never would have
been gained by the rebels in force, and
his retreat back from Narrenton would
not have been necessary. The parties to
this failure cannot escape exposure, and
will be held to fearful responsibility.

called down SO much denunciation from
those prints that apologized for the affair

Since the above was in type the news
reaches us that Jackson again got in

new movement of Jackson he was met,

not impossible that General Pope finding
