HousE.-On motion of Ii. FELTON, the
House took up the Senate bill empowering
the Medical Inspector to discharge from SER
vice any soldier or enlisted man laboring
under any physical disability which makes
it disadvantagsous to the service to have
him retained therein. A certificate in
writing of such officer to be sufficient evil
dence Of discharge.
Mr.. Richardson insisted that those who
were sick in the army should not be turned
loose to depend on charity for subsistence,
and suggested an amendment, which was
adopted, that they shall not be discharged,
except at their own request. The bill was
then passed.

Mr. FnrroR Having been confined by

lines by friend, hoping it may relieve the
anxiety Of some Of the friends Of those who

with two other Companies have for some time
been stationed at Bayou des Anemands, being
80 miles from here, Texas-wards, for the pur-
pose Of keeping the railroad open to that
point and guarding long bridge. On the
4th inst, the telegraph not operating, about
20 from each Of our Companies together with
one gun Of the Battery started on train Of
cars this way under command Of Capt. Clark,
upon reaching Boutto station, eight miles from
this side the Bayou, they we're suddenly fred

for which the premium notes amount to

of premiums paid and the losses incurred on

which the remaining five classes containing
in all all at this time 3,4l9 policies, amount

New York has lost venerable and excellent
man, as well as one of the purest and most
unselhsh Of her politicians. We knew him

then candidate for Congress, in viii he
served during the Administration of John
Quincy Adams, and we we're the little print

law office of the General Tho publishers
left Just before the election, to pedde votes
or render some other party service, leaving the
office in our sole charge. Monarch Of all we
surveyed-of type, presses and paper-we
conceived the idea Of astonishing the freemen
of that part Of New York with another num-
Der of the Essex County Republican" be-
fore the pending election and the thing was
done. We do not recollect whether any part
Of the editorial was written certain we are,
however, that part If not the whole was
extemporized, stick in hand, and transferred
to the slice galleys. The pages were filled,
and with great trepidation transferred to the
bed Of the press, for it was our FIRST attempt
to deliver a newspaper page. The matter was
proved and corrected, and then came our
greatest trouble. Should we printi Should
we run the hazard of injuring the party by
publishing what we had with so much from
Bile put in types Fortunately with all a
boys imprudence and impudenGe we had
prudence, We submitted the proof sheets
to Gen. Ross, who was personally interested,
and then retired TO await the result; ah! with
what anxiety, with what blushings. But our
suspense and fear were short-lived. Up came
the General, his genial face wreaihed with
smiles, and with hearty encouragement he bid
us print That WIS our frat editorial at
temp, and it certainly hurt no body Gen
Ross was elected in spite Of il.
