To this, if We may believe loyal CORES
pondcn,S of loyal organs, is soon to be
added another draft fer five hundred
thousand men, which will make upwards
Of three millions called out! The whole
number of voters in the loyal States in
1860 was about three millions and half,
and the number was not increased at the
recent election. We are making better
progress for the last men than people in
ngine. Lincoln is determined to have
him. He is the most generous person to
dispose Of other peoples lives that we
have ever read Of. He is ready and eager
to sacrifice the white male population Of

Committee on the Rebellious States. It
was read for the Information of the House.
It proposes TO admit Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress, under the new
Constitution of Louisiana. The reference
was reconsidered.
Mr.. Elliott remarked that when he des-
ignated the COMMITTEES on the Judiciary, it
was because that sstsnding Committee was
the proper one for the examination of the
question, and because bill looking to the

not suppose that the subject would receive
anything but kindness from the Committee

reason to believe that that Committee was
opposed to this resolution. he would have
no objection to such reference. The reso-

with Gregg's cavalry, and the
Third Division of the Second Corps were
detailed to efectuslly put stop to it, By

should also be destroyed.
At daylight on Wednesday, the column
started south on the Jerusalem road, tht
cavalry taking the advance. On arriving
at point nineteen miles from Petersburgh
they diverged from the road about mil
