HoUs e.

Mr.. Washburne,. Of Illinois, moved to
take up the House bill to revise the grade
Of lieutenant generals, as returned frcm the
Senate, with the amendment striking out
the Recommendation that Gen. Grant be
appointed to that position.
Mr.. Washburne said his object was to
disagree to the Senate amendment, in order
that committee of conference might be
asked. Finally objected.
Mr.. Davis, Of Maryland, defended the
validity OF the last Maryland elections.
and spoke of the progress Of emancipation
there, saying they were under small! obiiga
tions to President Lincoln for what had
been done. uc advocated an amendment
to the constitution resolutely declaring ~
q condition precedent to readmission into
the Uuisn that slavery be forever abolished
in the Southern States. Mr.. Davis conclu
ded by speaking against the colonization Of
the freedmen as Incompatible with the true
policy of humanity.
Mr.. Washburne then succeeded in pro-
curing the appointment Of . committee Of
conference on the dissgreeiDg amendment
to the lieutenant general bill.
Mr. Stevens, from the committee on
ways and neans, reported bill providing
as follows: That Of the 100000
which has been authorized by the act OF
March Sd, 1863, in lO.4O's, 500 600 900 be
put in the market, redeemable in not less
than five nor more than forty years.
Mr.. Stevens asked for the Immediate pas.
sage Of the bill.
MIR. Brooks asked if the bill did hot au
thorize the Secretary OF the Treasury to
issue an additional amount OF ten or twelve
bonds on the $50 stock already subscribed
for2
Mr.. Stevens said yes, to the amount Of
| ten millions.
By common consent, action on the bill
was postponed until the bill could be print
ed.
The naval appropriation bill was then ia
ken up.
SENATE.
The Senate, after the presentation OF va
rous petitions aud memorials on motion
OF Mr.. Fessenden, reconsidered the vote
adopting the conference committee report
en- the revenue bill, and appointed a new
committee to confer with that appointed
| by the House.
| The bill relative to assistant pay masters
in the navy was called up By Mr.. Hale, and
alter amendment passed.
On melton Of Mr.. Wilson, the bill equal.
izing the pay Of soldiers was called up, and
. debate ensued on the pending amendment
Of Mr.. Coliamer.

the Government buildings, containing .
number OF engines, burnt several bidges,
did considerable damage to Che railroad
and collected several hundred head Of cattle
His loss was two killed and two Or three
wounded
The boldness and energy exhibited BY
Gen Rosser and the conduct Of his men de-
serge much praise. r b; LEE
That so much should have been ac-
con,plishe,l with the loss of only two
killed and three wounded on the Con-
federate side is very remarkable, and
can only he accounted for upon the
principle that the plans of Gen. Ros-
ser were we'll Inatared and admirably
executed.
Another circumstance, attending
this expedition scarcely less ret.anrka-
bic, is related 1,y correspondent o.
one of the Richmond papers who
states that the 9Th and 9th Yankee
sVirginia' Regiments OF Cavalry wers
captured ty the 9Th and 9Th Virgins
Confederate Regiments.
The splendid success Of Gen Ros-
ser and his gallant command in this
expedition, will comm md the admi-
ration of the whole country, and THEN
1hivalrous conduct on this, as well as
many other occasions Of n simi.al
character will in after years forn
one of the brightest pages IN ou
country's his!Sry.

Another soldier is gone, another enc of Virgin

CIR was undoubtedly good boy and was per-
fecty resigned to meet death, although he suffer-
ed the most intense pain for nearly Eve months, he
bore up and was patient to the eud. While in the
army he never gave way to the temptations Of
camp life and always maintained the strictest in
tegrity of character. He was always to be found
at the post Of duty and danger and his GOODNESS
and bravery is not only attested to oy his comr

A Silent General.

The Charlottesville Chronicle compares
General Leo with some of the noisy char
acters Of this war. Itsays:
..fIere comes man bred in the army
He had been reared gentleman. He
d,spised bumbug. He loved order, and
everything and everybody in his place. He
told the ladies at Culpeper Courthouse, in
1861, who came out to greet him, to ego
home" To Ricomond, they said he had
no rs.anners--he aHshae to his business
and spoke little. They sent him to We8-
tern Virginia : small theatre when
Beaurcgafd was at Manassas and Johuston
at Winchester; he went, and made 10 com
ment. The cafnpaign failed; they called
him Turyeydrop; he did not attempt to ex-
cuse himself. Soon We Fl him 10 blaze
of glory, the hero Of The battles around
Richmond. He is still silent. He mar.
ehes to Manassas. and achieves another
great victory hot word escapes I'm.
lie takes Winchester; is foilea at Slarps-
burg for the want of men; defeats Burn
side at Fredericksburg !; Hooker-at Chanccl
