another draft on exhaustion Of the present
enTolment-was taken mp. -..
Mr.. Sherman said he would not give money
a greater force than the procurement of q sab
stitute, and when he considered the present in-
fation OF the market OF labor and money, the
maximum of five hundred, which could be
lowered at the discretion OF the Secretary of
War, was not too much. The standard oftw
years ago was not the standard now. We
should not consider popular clamor on this
subject, but consider it calmly, and act with
ont fear or favor.
Mr Harris moved to strike ont five hundred
dollars and insert four hundred dollars.
Passed-yeas 81, nays7.
Mr.. Howe proposed an amendment, institu-
ting a general fund from the money procured,
to be paid to drafted persons annually.
On motion Of Mr.. Howard, the amendment
of Mr.. Sherman as amended by Mr.. Howard
was not agreed to as far as it relates to the COM
mutation clause; yeas %, nays Ia. (This leaves

posed to bearing arms, and allowing them

The clause exempting clergymen and non
cred and passed several minor amendments to
the bill and then adjourned.
HoUsE.-After our report closed
The House having resolved itself into Com
mittee of the Whole on the state Of the Union,
proceeded to the consideration Of the bill to in

poses.
Mr.. Stevens moved to amend the first section
of the bill, so that the proviso shall read, that
all spirits distilled since the 3lst of August,
1862, on hand for sale, or removal for consump-
tion or sale, upon which no duties have been
paid or collected, and upon which no returns
have been made whether distilled prior to the

A DELEeArloN consisting Of an officer
from each company of the Second Virginia
Cavalry, arrived in this city last evening
We learn that the object of their mission
is to obtain thirty days furlough for the
brave soldiers under their command.
We have no doubt the request will be
granted. "Forewarned forearmed," is an
old adage, and we hope it will be needed
by our people. Let the soldiers have re-
ception before they are here a week.
