The Northern Congress Important Dis cussion on the War-The Battle of Balls Bluf-An Investigation Order ed-Slavery and the War.

In our last issue we mentioned that the northern Congress, immediately, on its re- assembling after its usual holiday adjourn ment, launched upon the discussion of the war on the resolution of Mr. Conkling of New York, calling on the secretary of war for an investigation in the causes of the disaster of the battle of Balls Bluff. Later papers from the North, with advices to the Sth instant, bring us the speech of Mir. Conkling, together with the debate that fol- lowed on the occasion. The proposition for an investigation met with violent oppo- stion, many of the members evincing dis position to shirk the responsibility, but the motion was finally carried by small ma iority. The discussion assumed wide range, and brought some of the most prom inent lights of the black republican party to their feet on the subject of the war and slavery The terrible disaster of the fed erals in the engagement leaked out of course of the debate, and Mr. Conkling admitted that, "besdes the defeat and large loss in arms and munitions of war, there was sdc- rifce of ai1ae Hundred and Mirty naen." We give below the proceedings of Congress in the matter which will be found of more than usual erest:-E.rchGnge
 Mir. Roscoe L. Conkling, Rep. of New York, rising to question ofprivilige, called the attention to the fact that, on the second day of the session, resolution was adopt ed with reference to the battle of Balls Bluff. The resolution proposed no investigation into any further transactions whatever; 1t simply requested the secretary of war to inform the House whether any steps have been taken to ascertain who are responsible for the disastrous affair at Balls Bluff.
 The House will have some idea of the "a pidity of transportation, and will be pre- pared to do justice to the lamented Baker, who is no more, when they call to mind that long before he had command of the expedition, Col. Devin was ordered, the night before, to cross over four companies of the Massachusetts fifteenth. This the officer in question commenced to do at two o'clock in the morning, and it was sun rise before he could take up the line of march, showing that upwards of an hour was necessary tor the throwing over com pany from the Maryland shore to Balls Bluff. Baker received orders at two o'clock in the morning, and immediately common ced his progress withouta wharf to land at or rope or hawser to stretch across the river to hasten their crossing. Neither rope, hawser or axe had been provided. Such were the combination of circum stances against him that it was not till eleven o'clock that they began to cross. Then the rebel fire commenced the slaughter of the detachment first landed, and the boats or their side began to pull to the island with the bleeding and slain, and the hospital ther

A correspondent Of the Atlanta Con.
federacy gives the following account of
John II. Morgan's entry into and pas
sage through kentucky.
sin every town and hamlet, demonstrations
of welcome were showered upon us, and the
ladies We'd with each other in acts of hospitali-
ty. Such were their joy that the streets of ev-
cry village was blockaded with women and
children and it was often difficult to pass even
a few rods without danger to life or limb of
some fair one. Our Generals (Morgan's) en-
trance into Lexington beggars all attempts at
description. They raised shout after shout of
'long live Morgan our deliverer." "God bless
the Southern army" &C., which rent the air.
Many were seen upon their knees invoking the
blessings Of Heaven upon their deliverers.-
Old men clasped their lifelong companions to
their bosoms, and with eyes turned to Heaven,
both would bless God who had spared them to
see that day. Sisters would rush wildly into
the midst of the soldiers and soon find a broth
er among the partisans, and the happiness Of
fathers mothers, brothers, sisters, wives and
children at meeting again, with triumph perch
ing upon our banners then waving over them,
was manifested by their shouts and their tears,
Dut no one can ueSCrlDe IL. MOTS&n WAS lalr-
ly dragged from his horse by the ladies, who
showered upon him every demonstration Of
atfectionate regard.
Morgan was again amid the scenes Of his
childhood. His foot was again upon his ma
tiveheath, restored to his country andh his clan"
Here he ad wandered beneath the shades of
the forests, played by the babbling brooks and
sported in happy glee with the companions Of
his childhood and youth; and here he had spent
the years of his manhood, till this wicked war
was waged upon lis.
But now returning as . conqueror he found
his property destroyed by the vandals, his
~neighbors robbed, imprisoned and murdered,
and desolation spread far and wide. But he
! came with uplifted arm to revenge the loss of
all this, which he will most surely do, if his
is spared. What an event in the life of a man.
No wonder he said it was the proudest moment
of his existence.
Morgan had a Wooden factory there before
the war commenced: but he found that it had
been occupied by The Federals as a drill room
for negroes. Some 800 had been daily exerci-
sed in the manuel Of the musket. These ne
groes however came up with the general crowd
of r~cjoicers and made every demonstration of
gladness at their deliverance from the clutches
of the Yankees. Are you astonished that O
brigade of Kentuckians joined the Southern
army in twenty-four hours in and around Lex
ington."

In the ttties the centre ~vignette is a female

In the twenties, there is a large three-masted

War Debt of the North.

The New York "Herald," of the sOtA,
in an editorial upon Northern finances,
says:
During the war with Napoleon the
English debt increased from ono hun.
dred to eight hundred millions Of
pounds sterling, and the outlay of the
Government was about four thousand.
millions of dollars. Our war debt is al.
ready two thousand millions, and in t,so
gears more may rival that Of England.
Thus we are crowding into a few years
the expenditures of a quarter of a cen.
tmy. When this war ceases the cal.
lapse will be fearful. The machinery
of business will be again Jared out Of
keller, as it was when the war began,
but much more d~isastrously, as wehave
more steam on and are going at a more
violent rate. The crisis Of 1857 will b.
child's play compared to that which
will follow the end of this war, unless
our financial farmers are. more. fortu.
nate than formerly"

Here at the North, where the people have
taken up arms to maintain the authority of the
Federal Government, there has been a practi-
cal revolt against a CONSUMPTION authorized
by an act of Congress and ordered by the CEN
trail executive. The Secretary of War ordered
a draft on the 18th of August last, and then again
on tho LIST of September, but the Governors of
the several loyal States refused to obey the or
der on both occasions. The governors of New
