HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

The House met at the usual hour
Senate bills, to provide for the appoint
ment Of Solicitor for the War Depart
ment, to amend the act establishing Ju-
dicial Courts, and to abolish the offices Of
certain commissaries, assistant commits
saries, quartermasters and assistant
quartermasters, were appropriately re-
ferred.
Senate joint resolution instructing the
Committee on Exchanges to inquire
whether arrangements can be made for
general exchange of prisoners, and on
what terms, and to report what legisla-
ton is necessary to that end: was
adopted.
The House then resumed the discus
sion Of the resolution, introduced by Mr..
Gholson, of Virginia, on Wednesday, re-
lative to the prosecution of the war and
the employment of negroes as soldiers.
Mr.. Adkins, of Tennessee, offered the
following as substitute for the resolu-
tons introduced by Mr.. Gholson:
Reso.reS, That armng slaves in our cause upon
promise Of emancipation is in conflict with we'll
established principles, and therefore should not be
done.
81 Resolred, That the character of the war which
the enemy is now waging against us, and the i'm
oar subjusation, justiies and requires that We
should exhaust all the resources within our reach
rather than submit to 50 terrible = fate.
Rssolred, That between subjueaiion and using
and sepreservation requires the latter, and there
fore W should ct onco put one hundred thousand
slaves, between tho ages Of seventeen aud forty
AVE. in the field and in order to render them eec-
tive, and Immediately to interest al Of our soldiers
in the institution, it Is expodicnt that the Govern
nent should purchase al the slaves thus put in the
army, or Who viii join the army within threemorths
after the enactment Of law in accordance with
these resolves, dave. t. be his absolute right and
properly to Be forever free from all claims Of any
~ speA soldier abandoning - post without leave,
IN which caes the title shall revert to the Govern
nAnt."
Nr. Conrad reviewed at length the ar
guments advanced by Mr.. Gholson on
Wednesday against the arming Of our
slaves and ct the conclusion Of his re-
marks, the subject was referred to the
Committee on Military Affairs.
The Speaker laid before the House =
communication from the Secretary Of
the Treasury, in response to resolu~
ton, stating thai he had disposed Of
tl4,tl1. 800 Of the six per cent. non

New YORK, Nov. ll.-The Times Washing.
ton dispatch says: 1t has been ascertained
that during the entire war the Navy has lost
only l, 4O6 men killed, and ,63s wounded out
of $4,000 sailors and marines on the rolls,
inclusive Of all losses IN the great battles on
the Mississippi, at Charleston, Mobile, Fort
Fisher and elsewhere. In a word, the splen.
did victories of Farragut and Porter have been
achieved with less loss of life than that which
has been suffered in single battle by a single
division of troops. This is due in part to the
tact that the enormous range of our Navy guns
has kept the men out of musket range. While
the expense of the Navy since the beginning of
the war, including the construction and equip
ment of all its vessels and their maintenance,
has been less than two hundred and thirty
million dollars, or only about seven and half
per cent of the National debt. Moreover, we
have, at the close of the war. ships enough to
show for the money spent to constitute what is
probably better Navy than that of either of
the European Powers. We have constructed
since 1861, 2lO vessels f-war, all of which
which are of the most improved models, and
contain all the appliances of modern offensive
and defensive warfare.

who have, during the late rebellion, earned the
appellation of thief, murderer or devil, the
brand could be affixed, many who now shame
lessly strut upon the worlds stage would hide
their faces with shame, and cry upon the hills
and mountains to fall down and cover them
from the view of an outraged people.
But there is at least one consolation If ret
ributive justice does not seize upon them in
this world they cannot escape it in the next.
There is terrible day of reckoning coming,
