The Enrolment Act.

The House, in Committee of the
Whole, on Wednesday last, by the de-
cisive vote of 20 to 70, refused to re-
peal the exemption clause of the En-.
rollment act, and subsequently reduced
the amount from S400, az it was fixed
in the Senate bill. to $500 as in the old
law. On motion of Mr.. Stevens, of
Pennsylvania, the bill as reported from
the Committee was amended by strik-
ing out the clause which held person
paying Communication liable in future
drafts; and as the bill now stands such
person is released for the full term oil
three years. The President and the
United States Courts decided last year,
in opposition to the War Department,
that the payment OF $500 must operate
as an equivalent for the personal ser.
vice of the drafted man during the Pc
riod for which the service was required,
aud the House now takes the same
view. It's manifestly the just one.

From Gen. Buffers Department..

FORTRESS MONROE, Feb. s.-The expedition hav.
ing returned, we permitted to state the follow
ing facts. On Saturday morning General Buffers
forces under command of Brigadier Ben Wistar,
marched from Yorktown Ella New Kent Court
House. The cavalry arrived at halfpast two
O'Clock yesterday morning at Bottoms Bridge
across the Chickahominy, ten miles from Rich
mend, for the purpose OF making raid into Rich
mona, and endeavoring by surprise to lberate our
prisoners there The cavalry reached the bridge
at the time appointed, marching in 1917 hours az
miles force of infantry followed in their rear
Tor the purpose of supporting them 1t was ex-z
pected TO surprise the enemy at Bottoms Bridge
who had had for some time only small picket
there The surprise failed, because as the Rich
mona Examiner to-day says Yankee deserter
gave information in Richmond of the intended
movement, and the enemy had felled a large
amount of timber so as to block up and obstruct
the ford and make it impossible for our cavalry to
pass. After remaining at the bridge from until
IL, Gen. Wistar Joined them with his infantry.
and the whole object of the surprise having been
defeated, Gen. Wistar returned to Willamsburgh.
On the march back to New Kent Court House,
his rear was attacked by the enemy, but they were
repulsed without loss to us, The march of our
infantry, three regiments of whom were coIored,
The cavalry marched over 100 miles in so hours.
This shows that it is possible to make campaign
in Virginia in the winter.
The dispatch boat is just in from Newbern Gen.
Palmer reports everything going on well in this
district. The losses by in the way of public
property are too trihing to mention. We could
not desire more favorable result. The losses in
killed, wounded and missing are but few.

we say, in Gods name let them fight
for Christians, not Vikings" or " Ber-
serkers," and surely not to impose a
foreign yoke and foreign language on a
struggling people.
But the Illustrious Berserker claims
that the property belongs to the father
of the Princess of Wales.
Alas! professor, this will not help
Denmark. If it had belonged to the
Queen in person, or to "Little Jack, !"
the Farmers friend, Mr.. John Bull
might have unbuttoned, but there is
now Strong republican and enlight-
ened feeling existent in England. and
we venture to predict that after the
demise Of Her Majesty, (uot before,) if
these matrimonial encumbrances press
Mr.. Bull, he will not only roar but kick,
and if need be, shake the throne of
England to it's foundation.
The learned Vikingar forgets or per-
haps never knew, that Earl Cardigan
asked Prince Albert once in the
Queens ball room where his parish
was;" implying that he was pauper,
dependent on English charitable sup
port.
We have no space to pursue this far
ther, but submit that the Vikingar are
dead and their descendants must ask
the favor of existence in different
tone and not demand the right to en-
slave their neighbors.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ga Nashville
letter, dated the 23d, says that Long
streets forces, which have been beavi-
ly reinforced from North Carolina, are
concentrated at Seviessville. Our
communication with Gen Park, at Cum

announces by courier that he can hold
the Gap for months. The battle at
Tazewell, on Sunday. lasted some hours.
Gen. Wilcox was painfully, though not
seriously wounded. Our forces we're

The LEGISLATURE.

The extra session of the Legislature,
which closed at Lansing at noon Sat.
urday, is one that the people of Michi-
gan can recur to with satisfaction. 1t
was practical, laborious and harmo-
Gus assemblage. There were no acri.
monious discussions, no failure to meet
responsibility, and there was an earnest
desire to meet the public wants and &C.
complish such legislation as will pro.
mote the public welfare. We take
pleasure in testifying to the liberal and
courteous action of the minority, who
contributed fair share to perfectine
the important measures that came be.
fore that body.
The leading measures adopted were
the General Bounty Bill, the Military
Suffrage Bill, the New War Loan, the
numerous bills authorizing counties and
towns to aid in the construction of rail
roads, the bill for the construction oil
some half dozen swamp land State
roads, the military road in the Upper
Peninsula, the bill authorizing the form.
alton of companies for rafting and
booming logs, the joint resolution fol
the relief OF soldiers families, numer
ons bills extending the time for the col
lection of taxes in the various sections
of the State, and the joint and concur
rent resolutions expressive of conf,
dence in President Lincoln and renom
mating him fer second term, and re-
turning thanks to the soldiers in the
field, and expressing determination to
uphold the Administration in suppress
ing the rebellion. These topics have
mainly been so fully discussed in oul
Lansing correspondence, that we have
but little to add to what was there said
d Tribune.

The Draft.

As our readers are aware, draft for
100000 men-incIuding the $4,000
called for on the 9Th of January-has
been ordered to take place on the 10th
of March next, unless procured by vol
unteering previously. Of this number
we shall have to raise in this county
l72 or two-thirds of our quota under
the last call.
That this draft will take place as des-
ignated there can not be the slightest
doubt, and the only question tor as to
determine is, shall we I'll this call by
volunteering; or shall we stand the
draft. We believe that the quota of
this county under all previous calls is
full, and that men sufficient can be
obtained to fill our quota under the
present call, if the proper effort is
brought to bear, there can be no doubt !;
but to do so our citizens should 60 to
work at once; meetings should be held
in each town; bounties raised, and the
proper efforts made to secure the cred
its of our veteran soldiers, who, it will
be seen by the order of Col. Hill, can
be credited to any locality paying the
largest bounty.
Men of Cass County, which will you
do, volunteer, stand the draft, or raise
sufficient bounties to induce our vete-
rams to be credited to the locality from
which they first enlisted.
