lows:

II removed"
The yeas and nnys were demanded on the
last clause, as to the removal Of the cause Of
the rebellion.
J. c. Allen, Of Illinois, (copperhead} as his
name was called voted yea, amid excessive
laughter
Mr.. Alley, Of Mass., voted no.
This caused much merriment, but the gen.
ueman directly changed his vote, explaining
that for the moment he thought he vas vo-
ting right, being opposed to the gentleman
from Illinois.
Mr.. Coz, Of Ohio {copperhead) amid the
confusion, said: t' We, on this side, rotc for
The resolution, because the causes ofthe war
were abolition, and secession, and ought to
be removed"
If Cox had to rote upon proposition to
remove the eaute Of hydrophobia in district
infested with mad dogs, we suppose he would
have to explain that he meant water and
docss teeth.

writes that n few days ago half crazy Mas-

make inquiries in reference to son OF here,
who had been enlisted into the army under

culiarly untitled for life In the army. She
made repeated attempts ut the War Office to

Finally she applied to Mr.. Dawes, member Of
Congress from Massachusetts,, who had m
interview with the President; and the latter,
upon hearing the facts, and finding 1t clear
case Of hardship, at once ordered the dis
charge Of the young man.

for only twenty-five thousand pounds ster-
ling. The company had, however, previous
ly purchased bonds Of the old company to

chase money. Another person claims to

It is stated that the purchasers intend to
use the ship for the purpose Of laying the

to tho restoration Of Florida to the Union,
under the Amnesty Proclamation, than those
sent to him through Minor Hay. (Thcy up
rcared IN the public prints come time slnce)
the State BY the forces in his Department Of
the South, Gen. Gilmore must have under
responsibility.
1t is strictly true. that neither Secretary
Stanton nor Gen. Halleck had any official
knowledge or intimation Of the Intention of
Gen Gilmore to enter upon q regular cam
paign in Northern Flor1d1, and the first in
telllgence they had Of his projects was re-
celsed through the newspapers. Gen. Hal
1cck, upon hearing Of the contemplated
operations, addresseda letter to Gen Gil
which hes was undertaking them. General
Gilmore's reply was that he vas acting
under the special orders Of the President Of
the United States.
Gen. Gil1more's answer wns received about
ten days ago. It was, Of course, IN s.aston-
ishcr'' Of much force to both the Secretary of
War and the General- In chief In the absence
Of any informhtlon, written or verbal, on the
subject, from the President. What their views
were relative to What they could but consid.
er m undue Executive interference, may be
easily imagined: In some WY or other, they
the opinion became general, In the course Of
of last week, that on the Presidents shoul.
ders rested all the responsibilities In the pre-
nises. That this opinion eliminated In great
Indignation, when the news Of the defeat Of
Gen. Seymour reached here, will be readily
understood.
General Gillmore's dispatches. relative to
the disaster, reached General Halleck On Fri
day night. Owing to their calling, 1t is sup
posed, for some immediate action on the part
ofthe War Department, Secretary Stanton
submitted the matter TO the President on
Saturday morning. Explanations, Of course,
ensued. 1t was then that the President made
Etatement, the substance Of which, above
given, he repeated the next day to other par
ties. The Secretary, beyond doubt, was
greatly surprised at the unexpected develop
ment.
Thus the matter stands at present. General
Gilmore has been written to, It Is under
stood, for an explanation. 1t is presumed
here that he undertook the expedition under
a mistaken construction of the Presidents
instructions relative to the mission: Of John
Hay. g .
