The Northern View Of our Condition.

The tone OF the Northern press altea1y displays the
encouragement thsy feel at the indications of almost
spar manifested in bewildered end paaic stricken
Congress. The sweeping and revolutionary measures
for swelling the musterTolls Of armies so grayey
proposed, sTeDuously urged and advocated are
glrded as the most remarkable attempts on record to
embody desg ar in legislation" Propositions To con.
vert the COniederacy into one grand military
camp, as the Cn!y way in which the Confedsracy
Can be saved them 70 eIuls in the anticipation
that there is nothing certain than that i.l doom
sealed and is destruction certain" What encourage
ment do1s il give 10 enemies, already tottsrng
the eve oil domestic volcano to confess ourselves IN
extremist How many veterans s it add to their rolls
Whc disguised with arduous and apparently interim
uable war; are now bAntered TO but one only mere
desperate but decisive campaign r-And that too with
an unskiled i'll provided, inexperienced and disorder
" mObI What assistance must it render in stimulating
their conscrptors the assurance of speedy spoa
toni Is will give them two earnest, confident, deter
mined and wssquippsd soldiers for every dependent
and badly provided conser added TO muSier-ro.
It will expose US 10 the evils Of complete suspension
Of every interest in the domestic economy of the
try, SO necessary to the public welfare, and especially
that of the army; and to f anime and servile out
break
Let US take counsel even from our enemies. Let Us
take counsel of wisdom and Truth from whatever source.
" There is no maxim Of government" says the New
York Tines better settled than that the forcs and
capacity of endurance Of country il war depends not
so much on the number of men it can put INTO the
army as the extent to which it can leave civilians
free and undisIubed in the puruit Of their ordinary
avocadOns." This was the policy of Frederick the

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Prayer by Rev. Ar. READ.
Mr.. HANLY, from the Committee on Indian Affairs,
reported back abe bill to appropriate 100000 for the
use and benefit of the Cherokee Indians with the
commentator that it pass.
Mr.. WRIGHT, of Texas, explained aad pointed out
the justice Of the bill In few remarks and urged that
the House act on it immediately.
The rule was suspended and the bill was read ttisd
time apd passed. The Ius being suspended, the bill
was sent forthwith TO the Senate.
Mr. BALDE said the morning hour had been
forciby taken possession Of every day, add ofered
resolution that during the present session, until the cur
rency bill is disposed Of aey member dssiting TO offer
bill or resolution may file tho same with the CLERK and
she SPEAKrG il be approve OF It, may refer 1t to the
appropriate commtses. The resolution was lost.
The Senate resolution of thanks 10 Maj. Vos BeRcK,
OF the Army OF Northern Virginia and the bill from
the same body 10 declare the meaning OF act to lay
taxes for the common defence, 30, we're appropriately
referred.
The unfinished huiine.s being the bill TO coDscribe
persons In the Confederaey claiming to be citizens of the
United Safes, vas taken Up.
Mr. DEJARNETrE, of Va opposed the bill. He said
the principle involved in it had been claimed by
any nation that history gives any knowledge OF,
WHISTLER civilixsd or barbarian man may expatr.ac
hinself and assume the obligations Of citizen, aud
hen and not until then, comes the power to conscroe
but the Sespoto power earth had never claimed
such right over persons who are chz,ns OF foreign
countries Hs protested aganst the exercise Oh SUCH
power. Diplomacy had often proved to be an sgeat
nose effective than the sword and frequently lett little
for IL 10 achieve. We have never used his agent
against enemies notwithstanding the clements OF
dlscootent among them Lad invited it. The bill was
calculated to defat any effort Of diplomacy, and, If
pssd thouia de- oil recruits would be added to Lncons
armies. His army Is filed now only by CONSUMPTION,
and he believed majority of the people Of the United
States opposed 60 his despots n /; we onsf such
es des re 10 fee from it asylum, they viii come
