THE PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS


GENdIE.
A message was received from the House,
saying that it disagreed with the Scnate's
amendments to the civil and miscellaneous
appropriation bill.
The Treasury Note bill was taken up. The
question vas on Mr. Fessenden's amendment,
10 make the bonds retleemable after five years
at the pleasure Of the United States, which
amendment was withdrawn.
Mr. COLLAMER, Of Vt. moved to strike
out that portion Of the bill which makes the
notcs-a legal tender for private debts.
Mr.. WILSON of Mass Was opposed to the
amendment, and if it was adopted he saoul0
vote against the bill. He considered that it
would 6e wiekedly unjust to place al this
money in the hands Of the soldiers and en-
ployes Of the Government, forcing them to
lake it and then not protect it after it was in
their hands
Mr. COLLAMER modified his amendment
50 as to strike out all TINT portion Of the bill
which makes the notes legal tender tor debts
Of tic q. s, or any kinds OF debts, Including
The amendment Of the LAW providing that all
the interest be paid in coin.
Mr. SHERMAN believed that there WAS
a necessity for making these notes 4
legal tender. Every organ of financial
IS indispensable. We have to pay before the
first day Of July ss0, 25}5 0o0, and Of this sum
sl00, COX, GOO is now due this day. How arc
we going to get this amount? That is a ques-
tion hardly necessary. We cannot pay our
debts in coin, for there is not enough Of it in
circulation since the banks suspended. The
banks cannot let us have any morc
money, for VIC have already taken
more than their capital in bonds Capitalists
cannot buy the bonds Of the Government, for
they cannot get the coin to do SO, which is
| the only thing the Government can receive.
If the bonds Of the Government were now
| thrown On the market of the world they would
| depreciate to 60 cents on the dollar, according
| to the opinion Of all fnanciers, because there
| is no money to pay for the bonds
Then how are We going to pay tht
| soldiers and the contractors who feed ths
armies? There is no other way than to givt
thtm notes, which are rs near money As posi-
| Bile.
After further discussion, Mr. SIMMONS o
Rhode Island offered an amendment to alloH
! the notes to be funded in two years bond
| bearing $40 per cent interest. Adopted.
{! The 6ill, Is amended, was then passed-yca
80, nays7. Adjourned.
| HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The House proceeded to the consideration
Of the joint resolution reported By Alr. HSl
| man, from the Committee on Government
| Contracts, authorizing the Secretary Of Wa
to pay the Hannibal & st. Joseph, and Pacitl
Railroad Companies for the transportation 9
troops, munitions Of war, &c, but at rate
not greater than those required from priyat
individuals. Congress, in awarding land
towards the construction Of these roads, n
troops Of the United States free Of charge
Without waving this principle, it is now pre-
posed to compensate them for their services
On the ground that their ability has been in
1,aircd by the rebellion aud destruction Of the
| bridges, &c.

WIknff.a QccUpnxiQu Conc.


Washington correspondent of the n. Y. 'fo,zd.l
Mr.. Henri Wikof, otherwise known as Che
yalier WikofT, has been, it is currently stated
in Washington, shown the door Of the White
House. II seens this party, through the good
nature Of some Of the ladies' attached to our
republican court, has had access to the White
House, and obtained information there not Of
any great Importance but which regularly ap-
peared In the columns Of the New York
Herald. Wikof's offlciousness, aud the as
sumption of Intimacy with certain well-known
leaders in the highest political circles, was
such that it attracted considerable atten-
tion, and his antecedents were inquired into:
His peculiar relations to Fanny EllsleT, and
his escapade with the heiress, Miss Gamble, as
we'll as hie subsequent career, WIS finally
brought to the attention Of Mr. Lincoln, who,
as is reported and believed, promptly ordered
the expulsion ofthe Cheyalier from the White
House. His occupation at Washington, there
fore, is gone, except as 2 neWs-gatherer far
the herald, in which business he is serious
annoyance to the representatives Of the press,
who, as general thing, are gentlemen.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 13.-The Republicans Fort

lars Of the Tcnncsse River gunboat expedition.
The people insisted upon loading their visit
ors with presents, and as fur as Florence the

boats everywhere. Numbers of promi-
nent men came forward and said should the
Union army enter Tennessee, 81, 900 men were
ready and anxious to protect their homes, aud
would ut once cluster around it. Under the
luw. commanding them to join the rebel army
or lose their property, they were Obliged to
suecumb, in self defence.
The officers Of the gunboats say it is inpo5-
sib1c to doubt the gcnuincaess Of the greet
inss that everywhere met them. The rohel
press is wholly uuder tic control Of the poll

Considerable interest has been awakened
Of late in regard to the subject matter Of the
flag Of truce recently sent by Gen. Johnston,
the commander Of the rebel army, to Gen.
Mcclellan. From the fact that number Of
consultations were held with the different
heads Of government, 1t WAS supposed that
the matter to be treated Of was one th1t vital
" affected the question of war. Although no
o1icial announcement has been made, we must
state, to quiet the apprehensions Of the pub
lie, that the question involved is one that in
no manner relates either to the recognition of
the Southern Confederacy or the continuance
Of the WAT. The importance Of the point to
be treated Of was one wholly dependent upon
the answer returned. An answer has already
nec1l penned to the dispatch, and the above Is
probably as much as thepublic will be allowed

Pine Island, where rebel battery has

cncd-a smaller work than Pulaski, and
only about mile distant from Savannah.
The siege batteries on Tybee still menace
Pulaski and our gunboats in Warsaw In

apprehension Of attack is SO strong, at Sd
vannall, that troops are being drawn even
from Charleston for the defense Of the
city; they have probably not less than
10000 under aims such as they are.
Gen. Sherman has now excluded al the
