Passage Of the Bank Blll---The
Compromise by which it
was Effected,
The RumOred Fall Of Vlcks-
burgh-.--Rebel Reports OF
Gen. Banks Defeat,
The Arizona Territorial Bill
has Passed, and Only Re-
qUireS the Signature Of
the President,
National Academy Of Sciences
Nominations Returned to
the President.
PHrLAnELpH1A. Feb q.

Special to the Tribune from Washington:
The Bank Bill passed the House to day by
msjOrity of 10. A motion previously
made to lay it on the table failed by a vote
of 81 to SO. Secretary Chase occupied
the Speakers room during the proceed
ings. This action was the result of an ar
rangement between the advocates Of the
national currency scheme and the Ways
and Means Committee and those friendly
to the issue Of three hundred millions
more of additional legal tenders, that if
the latter would 60 for the Bank Bill the
former would go for the legal tender and
give it the passage through the Senate.
In the Conference Committee there will
probably be compromise over the section
taxing banks.
General Rosecrans telegraphed to the
War Department, day or two ago that
some rebel officers, in the course Of a con-
versatiOn, remarked; "Well, you have
got Vicksburg at last" No confirmation
of the fact implied in this remark has,
however, yet been received and its truth
is doubtful.
For the second time vague report is in
circulation, through rebel sources, being
conveyed to General Rosecrans By flag
of truce, to the effect that General Banks
has been repulsed at Port Hudson. No
particulars are given, and General Rose
Grams adds that he sends these reports for
what they are worth.
Senator Wilson will introduce a bill
organizing a National Academy of Sci
ences, on the plan of the French Academy,
to consist Of fifty members, and to be
charged with the prosecution Of such in
vestigatiOns, in addition TO its own, as the
Government may entrust to it.
The Senate has returned to the Presi-
dent one hundred and fifty nominations
for Hospital Chaplsins, there being
no law authorizing their appoint
ment. There can be 'Chsplsins for
permanent hospitals; but the Senate are
rather determinedly disposed to consider
that under the law there are but few per-
manent hospitals in the country. Those
few are already supplied with chaplains.
There has been an immense rush for these
places.
The House Military Committee has in
structed one Of their members to report a
bill exempting steamboats, from liability
for accidents from their transportation of
gun powder contrary to law, when that
transportation shaf9be for the account of
the Government.
The bill constituting the Territory of
Arizona, which passed the Senate to-day,
has already passed the House, SO that it
only requires the signature of the Presi-
dent to become law.
Letters from prominent residents of
Washington Territory were received to-
day protesting against the division made
by the House bill erecting the Territory
of Montana. One of the gentlemen declared
that Washington Territory, as now consti-
tuted, will not for the next ten years con-
tain population enough for State.

Q In referring to the Union Mass Meeting
Of Monday next the Buffalo Express
says:
We are glad to witness these move
ments on the part Of the people. The
emergency loudly calls for them. Treason
throughout the country is becoming so busy
and bold that it can no longer be held in
idle contempt. Il assails the Government
on every hand; conspires against it both
openly and in secret; foments sedition /;
cheers on the rebellion, and lsbors by eve
y means to obstruct the war for the Union
and defeat its holy purpose. To all the
embarrassing and discouraging influences
Of this malignant Eillainy the Government
is exposed, with little Of eounterscting ef-
fort on the part Of the loyal country to
support It. It is sOrely and painfully
tried. It needs cheering voice from the
people to nerve and brace it up. II needs
70 be made sensible that the popular
heart is still true to the great cause.
The people should preclam their fidelity
to the government with secord, and thun-
der their denunciation and warning in the
ears Of the traitors whom impunity has
made so bold Let Mass Conventions be
held throughout the country. Let us have
them in New Yerk-State Conventions and
County Coventions. Let the people de-
clare themselves, silence the Kissing Of
Copperheads, and strengthen the Govern
ment with a grand assurance of popular
sympathy, and undiminished resolution to
sustain the war"

The dOuble-bOwed side-wheel steamer
TallapOOsa was launched at Boston, as an
nOunced, on Tuesday last. She is one of
the twenty new ships recently ordered,
and the third aAoat.
The Sausacus at Portsmouth, and the
Mendoza at Brooklyn, were launched some
time since. The TallapOOsa's length is 24O
feet, with S5 foot beam, and depth of
u feet. Her armament will consist Of
eight brOsdside guns, and having been in
tended for harbOr service, she will proba-
bly, not draw more than 9 or 10 feet of wa
ter. She will be irOn-clad, with bullet
proof armOr, SO as to resist the most pow
erful musket, and her bottom is copper
fastened.

It was announced by telegraph that a
resolution had been introduced into the
Senate calling for a certain letter written
by General Scott to the Secretary of War
October 4th, 1861. A Washington dispatch
says that this letter will show that Gen
eral Mcclellan treated General Scott with
personal disrespeot while the latter was
Chief, to such an extent
that court martial would have been de-
manded but for fear Of injury which the
consequent revulsiOns would do the cause
in showing insubordinstiOn in an officer of
such rank. It also shows General scott's
discrimination to resign his position as
soon ss General Halleck should have ar
rived from California to aid the Govern
ment with his counsels and influence.

RavinG Of the Richmond Dispatches.-The

RavilG Of the Richmond Dispatches.-The
North on the Verge Of Ruin--JOhn Van
Buren Denounced
The Richmond Dispatch of the 18th says,
editorially, that the North are fighting as
much for self-preservation as Southern
subjugation that the time when the Ma
tional Government sought to extinguish
the South has passed. and the further pro-
secutiOn Of the war is to save the North
from the avalanche Of ruin which the sue
cess Of the South must preeipitate. It ar
CUES that our manufactures would tumble
into ruin, and our ships Of commerce rot
II the South should accomplish its objects,
and predicts that cities rivsliDg those Of
the North would spring up in the South,
and the present fountains Of revenue of
the North be transferred to the South.
In another article the same paper de-
nOunees John Van Buren for turning q
political summersault, and repudiates ell
idea Of mediation, recognition and inter
: Ssdtion as tending to a relaxation Of efforts
in filing up the ranks of the Army. 1t
calls for the rallying Of the whole physical
force Of the South, as the present time is
the most critical in the whole period of
the war. Every man should be at his
post.
The Conscription law has been faithfully
executed in Virginia, and should be ex-
ecuted with equal fidelity in every other
State. Enrolling Office rs should do their
duty with searching and unshrinking en-
ergy.

Run AwAY-Considerab excitement
was occasiOned on Superior street this fore
noon by runaway. team belonging to
J. Il. & A. S. GOrham, cOnfectioners, becOm-
ing frightened near the Park, ran down su-
periOr street at great speed, and turning up
at the City Bank, were stopped. The wagon
was good deal broken up. It was used in
distributing candies, cakes, &C., among the
customers of the Messrs. GOrham. As the
team ran, the contents Of the wagon we're
strewn along the street IN great PrOfusion,
creating an immense excitement among the
Juveniles, who followed in hOeks, filling their
pockets with candy and cakes. It was rare
treat to the boys. They would be glad to
have a candy wagon run away with every
day, doubtless.

CLEVELAND WoRsTED COMPANY, No. 107
BANK STREET.-This firm have now increased
their manufacturing facilities to meet the de-
mands of their numerous patrons. A brief
examination of the machinery for producing
buckingham will repay those not cOnvers-
ant with such manufacture. Their Factory
is composed of two large stores, FIVE stories
in hight above the basement. In, the base
ment is their steam engine, of eighteen horse
power, with boiler capable of producing 100
lbs. of steam. Here are also two sets of ma
ehinery, called picker" and "breaker." !"
The wool passes from the picker to carding
or breaking machine, and from thence to the
second breaker, similar to the first; thence
to the " condenser" where it is formed into
what is known as ropeiDg." 1t next goes
to the " Jack where it is spun on to bob
bins, and thence on to the /" double and
twister." From this apparatus it is s'cOnvertsd
inio skeins.
On the second floor is machinery for the
manufacture of Balmoral Skirts of superior
quality. This Company also have some ma
chinery run by steam-pOwer that converts
wool into batting by carding and otherwise,
which is better for most purposes than the
cotton grades of batting.
In basement No can be seen the mode of
operation Of securing yarns and carpets
This is q very ingenious mechanical cOntriv-
ance. In the rear of the factory are situated
dye rooms. The dyeing is done by steam
with great dispatch.
This establishment is capable of convert
ing 15O pounds of wool per day into manu-
factured febrics. The company have con-
tract with an Eastern house to supply large
amount Of yarn.
We now have three woollen mills in CIeve-
land in full and successful operation, en-
plOying over two hundred operatives, and
sustaining many families. All our city re-
quires to make her rank among first class
corporations, is more of such factories.

The Ericsson battery sangamon has saf

The Ericsson battery sangamon has safe
ly arrived at Fortress Monroe. A CORES
pondent writes;
Having put out from Chester, and left
the lights behind, our engines were allow
ed to work as rapidly as possible for time.
They acted admirably, and enabled US to
make over eight knots an hour. The con-
duct Of the low, strange block Of iron in
the sea was smazing. Waves that would
have sent shiver from stem to stern Of
the stoutest wooden steamer, broke on our
knefe-iike edge, and spsttsred their harm
less foam about the turret. We were lit
orally swimming, with only our head and
neck over water half the time; and yet
the steadiness Of everything down stairs
was remarkable. The great things 10 be
sttended to in these iron-clads are the
pumps. Keep them well worked, and I
would follow Columbus in the Saneamon.
The holes in the deck, which l hear
have been made to accommodate officers,
should be reduced in number. But there
is not one shortooming for which We have
no remedy, and If an honest Captain uses
all the means in his hands, the Sangamon
could be as safe on the broad bosom Of the
ocean IS ct Reemy's wharf in Chester"

There is place in Hancock county, nli-
nois, called Warsaw, which has for some
years enjoyed the privileges and immuni-
tissof city, under charter granted by
h .Legisiature. It is q zealously loyal
place and not long since the municipal
Board adopted an ordinance requiring all
teachers and pupils in the public schools
to be loyal to the United States Govern
ment and authorizing the expulsion from
the schools of any teacher or pupil guilty
Of dislOyalty, or tressonsbly sympsthiEing
with those in rebellion against the United
States. For adopting such an eminently
proper ordinance, the Copperhead Legis-
lsture at Springfield has repealed the
charter Of Warsaw, and ali acts smenda-
tory thereto, and made the territory COW
cred by the corporation a town Of Han
cock county. In passing the bill the Leg
islature has repudiated the bonded debt Of
!, the city, with other liabilities, amounting
to about $4,000, broken up the schools,
among the best in the State, left the city
without the slightest protection, given its
property into the hands Of those hostile to
it, and outraged the wishes Of the people.

VESSEL BUILDIEG.-Ira Laffrinier is one
Of the most enterprising ship-builders at this
point. He is thorough mechanic, and
unites energy and industry with perfect
knowledge of his business. His vessels rank
as high as those of any builder in the eoun-
try. He has recently contracted to build
four vessels, of 26O tons each, for parties in
Boston, to be completed by the first of July.
They are intended for the coasting trade.
Mr.. Lafrinier has built number of splendid
vessels for the Eastern coasting trade, which
have given entire satisfaction, and established
the fame of Cleveland -buiItv vessels. Besides
the above vessels, Laffrinier is building two
tugs, of 800 tons each, for the Messrs. Win
slow. These tugs are of the largest deserip-
ton, being intended for the Detroit and St.
Clair Rivers, and will be models of speed,
beauty and durability. A vessel of 45O tons
for Drake is about ready to be launched. It
will thus be seen that Laffrinier has seven
vessels to complete this winter, which will
give IN appearance of great activity to his
Ship Yard for the next four or i've months.
There is prospect of his having still further
contracts .air.

MONDAY MORNING, FEB. IS, Is6S.



The Democrats are opposing the general
ccnscription bill. They do it, firstly, to aid
ths rebellion by throwing difficulties in
the way Of raising more men with which
to put it down. In khis they are disloysl
70 their Government. But this is not all.
They are traitorous in another sense. The
danger Of q foreign war is imminent. In
case Of such 8 state Of affairs, where are
the troops with which 10 secure
national defense2 As yet only in
the great mass of the people, yet
undrilled and unorganized. The Con-
scription law proposes to remedy this
state Of helplessuess, and inaugurate
system which will place us upon q war
footing, ready to meet any foreign foe.
The Democrats are therefore opposed to
protecting the natioR from the insidious
and ambitious designs Of the French En-
Psror. They are double trsitOrs indeed.
A war with France would require the
military services of nearly all our able
bodied men The CONSUMPTION bill pro-
poses to have this force in available shape.
The Democrats are unpatriOtie enough to
oppose It.
