R. Ingersoll, the Ilouse went into Committee of the Whole, and the consideration of the bill was re- Toxwed. | Mr Lonfi, of Maryland, concluded his remaks commenced yesterday, in favor of granting the Hecessary supplies, and in opposition to any inter ference with the subject of slavery. Mr Ficklin followed in support of the bill, so amended as to conform to the substitute offered by !mnsclf; and in the course of his remarks, censured in several particu’ars the course of the commanding General in Mexico. 4 After some further debate, in which Haralson stated the number of volunteers who have been discharged since the passage of the act of May 18_5'5, at 5079, the number of officers at 94, inclu ding resignations, and these, in both ecases, inde ~ gendent of those discharged of the forces under Generals Kearney and Wool, the number of which 1s not known, the Committee proceeded to vote on | the several sections of the bill, and the amendments _tbheretn. An amendment to the bill, from the Mili [ <ry Committee, providing for the appointment of’ a Lieutenant General, to take command of all the military forces in the field, was also adopted by the Commuttee of the Whole—B4 to 67. | Mr Rathburn offered his substitute for the bill, | and on thisit was made to engraft a further amend ment, providing for the appointment of a Lieuten ant General, and the amendments to the substitute were lost, 66 to 95. The substitue was then adop ted, 96 t) 88. The substitute provides for ten reg- | ments of volunteers instead of ten regiments of | regt‘xlurs. i he committee then rose, and reported the bill, as amended, (the provision for Licutenant General of cowrse not included,) to the House. | Mr Thompson of Miss, moved to amend the substitute, by the appointment of a Lientenant General to take command of all the military forcés in the field during the continuance of the war with ,‘_Mexico. And on this amendment, he demanded "Sthe previous question. The amendment was re jected, 90 to 120. The question then recurring on the adoption by the House of the substitute for the Dbill, it was de cided in the negative, 103 yeas to 104 nays. Before any question was taken on the amend ment or the original bill, the House adjournedto Monday. Moxpay, Jan. 11.—In the Senate, Mr Atchison called the Senate to order, and read a letter from the Vice-President, desiring Mr Atchison to preside during his absence. Oftence was taken at this by Mr Crittenden, who thought the Vice-President was not empowered to 'dclegate his authority during his absence, and with all respeet to the honorable Senator, (Mr Atchison) he moved that the Senate should proceed to tlle c lection of a President pro tem. Some debate ensued, when the Senate ballotted for a President pro tem. The vote stood—Atchison 47, Sturgeon 1, Sevier 1. Mr Atchison was declared duly elected. The Judiciary Committee were instructed to in quire into the expediency of repealing the 23d rule, which relates to this subject. Agreed to. The Committee on Military Affairs reported a bill to provide for a temporary increase of the military force ; also, a bill to authorise the appointment of a Lieut. General, which were made the special order for Thursday. P The nomination of Fleniken Penn, Charge to Den mark, was confirmed by the Senate. . The Senate went into Executive session, and then adjourned. . In the House, the bill to inecrease -the regular army by ten regiments, was passed, 165 to 45. Mr Boyd then moved a reconsiderztion ; carried, 137 to 55. The vote ordering its engrossment for a third reading, was also reconsidered. Sundry amendments, for the most part of an un important nature, were offered by Mr Boyd, the principal one being to provide for the disbandment of the officérs and men at the close of the war. The amendments were adopted, and the bill so a mended was again passed by a vote of 171 to 34. The House went into Committee of the Whole, and took up the bill to establish a territorial govern p ment in Oregon. The right to vote was restricted, at the first election, to American citizens. The Committee rose, and the civil and diplomatic appropriation bill, and a bill authorizing a loan, and for other purposes, were reported by the Commit tee of Ways and Means. The bill authorizes a loan of $23,000,000. Adjourned. TuespAy, Jan. 12.—1 n the Senate, Mr Archer, of Virginia, announued the death of his colleague, Isaac W. Pennybacker.

In the Committee of the Whole, Mr Ilopkins in the chair, the bill to establish a territorial govern ment in Oregon was taken up. The bill was so amended as to permit all persons to vote at the first territorial election who have declared their inten tinn to become citizens of the U. 8.; also so amen ded as to prohibit banking in the territory. An amendment sustaining the Missouri compro mise regarding slavery, was supported by Mr Ham lin, Me., who believed it necessary in order to pre vent the introduction of slavery into the territory. Without taking any question on the amendment, the committee rose and reported progress. A message was received from the senate announ cing the death of Senator Pennybacker. Mr McDowell, of Virginia, made an eloquent and impressive address. The customary resolutions were adopted. Adj. WEDNESDAY, Jan. 13.—N0 business was done, but both branches met to attend the funeral of the late senator Pennybacker, of Virginia, whose re mains were interred in the congressional burying ground. £ THURSDAY, Jan. 14.—1 n the Senate, Mr. Fair field reported a bill to provide for the. appointment of an additional number of assistant surgeons for the navy. * -~ Mr Cameron reported a bill to authorize the con struction of two floating dry docks, one at I’hiladel phia and the other at Portsmouth. Mr Benton reported the ten regiment bill from the House, to increase the army, with an amend ment in addition of regiments of infantry as vol tiguers and foot riflemen, with rocket and mountain bowitzer battery, one or more regiments of each. Yhe bill was then taken up, and the amendment was agreed to. ; Mr Cameron offered an amendment requiring the Sergetary of the Treasury to issue warrantz granting a quarter section of land to each non commissioned officer and private of the army and volunteers, serving during the war, or honorably discharged before its termination. Mr Benton asked the senator to withdraw his amendment, as the committee did not desire to in troduce any thing extrinsic to the question. Mr Cameron declined the withdrawal of his amendment. e said ke thought that would be a good opportunity to urge his proposition, or that it would be irrecoverably lost. The poor soldiers in ourarmy get nothing but their pay and emolu ments, such as a ration a day. Iflz thought we as a nation owed this measure to those who will de fend our fl? and fight the battles of their country. A spirited debate ensued.. The Dbill was then, on motion of Mr. Badger, postponed to Friday. The lieutenant general bill° was then taken up. Mr Dix explained the grounds on which the ap pointment of this officer was deemed a measure of necessity and expediency. Mr Badger desired to explain on what grounds he ?’?-osed “the creation of such an office. He moved an adjournment, which was earried. : In the House, eommnnicgfigns’ye‘rg received in reply to resolutions of inquiry, viz:—From the treasury department, with a statement of the amount of money in the several government depos number of clerks employed ; the war departyent, reporting the amount of money expended ip the various sections of the country for the improvc ment of rivers and harbors, and another with the annual report on the condition of the Indian tribes.

Mr Seaman, of New York city, introduced a bill to prevent the importation of paupers and crimi nals from foreign countries, which was read twice and referred to the committee on the Judiciary. ~ On metion of Mr. Boyd, a resolution was adopt ed closing the debate on the Oregon territorial bill at 3 o’clock. The bill was then taken up in com mittee of the whole. The question was on the amendment in support of the Missouri compromise, excluding slavery from the territory. Mr Burt addressed the committee in defence of the rights of the south in regard to slavery. My Petit followed, insisting that the sovercignty ~of the government of this Union extends over the territory of that government, as it does over all other property belonging to the United States in their federative capacity. The hour of 3 having arrived, the committee rose and the louse adjourned. Frivay, Jan, 15.—1 n the Senate, Mr. Benton asked the unanimous consent of the Secnate to in troduce a bill authorizing the grant of public lands ‘to non-commissioned officers and soldiers serving during the war with Mexico. Mr. Cameron imme diately objected to the proposition of Mr. Benton, stating that the bill was calenlated to destroy the object of the amendment he offered the day previ ous. : Mr. Ashley begeed leave to excuse himself from serving on the Committee on French Spoliation. Mr. Sturgeon was appointed in his place. The bill to increase the army was next taken up. Pend ing the question of adopting Mr. Cameron’s amend ment of yesterday, providing land for the soldiers, &e., Mr. Badeer offered a substitute for the amend ment. Mr. Benton then again offered the bill he endeavored to introduce in the morning, as a sub stitute. The Vice President ruled that Mr. Ben ‘ton’s proposition was out of order. Several amend ‘ments were then offered, which were ordered to be printed, and the bill was postponed till to-morrow. The bill providing for the appointment of a Lieu tenant General was then taken up. Mr. Badger spoke in opposition to the measure. Mr. Mangum moved as a test question that the bill be laid on the table, which was earried by a vote of 28 to 21. - In the Touse, a resolution offered by Mr lamlin - was read, asking the President to state the number ‘and pay of the members of Congress serving in the | Mexican war, ~ On motion of Mr Douglass, the House went into Committee of the whole, Mr Cobb in the chair.

An am “endment was adopted, limiting the pay of the dele ‘gate to Congress to 22000 per annum, and requir ing that he shall be a citizen of the territory, and serve for the session only for which he shall be e- Nlected. Additional sections were adopted requiring that the oflicers of the territory appointed Ly the President, shall give security for the proper fulfil ‘ment of their trusts. The Committee rose and the bill and amendments were reported to the IHouse. Mr Burt moved moved to amend the bill by insert ‘ing a clause recognizing a line for the Missouri compromise. Lost—yeas 82, navs 113, ~ The amendments made in the Committee of the - Whole were agrecd to. The question now Leing relative to the passage of the ill as amended, Mr. Leake gave his reasons why he should vote in opposition. ~ lle considered this act, should it pass, a deliberate violation of the Missouri Compromise. Mr. Kennedy, of lowa, fol- Jdowed. Tle said he had voted deliberately, and ev “er should vote deliberately against any further ex tension of slavery. Mr Douglas said he would ‘move to amend the proposition by inserting ¢ Mis souri Compromise.” ITe was followed on the same side by Mr. Clernand of Tlinois. Mr. Rhett gave his constitutional argument in the defence of the State rights. Mr. Petit again contended that the sovereionty of the States as it regards new territory, rests with the General Gov ernment until the territory be relinquished. Mr. Thurman gave his views at some length. Without taking a vote, the louse adjourned.

At last my physician advised me to take Dr. Wistar’s Celebrated Balsam of Wild Cherry, which has performed so many remarkable cures.

LowkLr, Mass. Jan, 27, 1844. Dr. David Jayne : Dear Sir,—l have used your medicine, (so universally known by the name of JAYNE’S EXPECTORANT.) in my practice for a number of years, and can most truly say, that I have been more successful in the use of that as a mild, safe and thorough ExpEcTORANT, than of any which I have ever used. It is the best for the following obvious reasons. It does not if given in proper doses, occasion a disagreeable nausea. It does not weaken the lungs and prostrate the system, like most other expecio rants in common use, nor does it abate the appetite of the patient, like other nauseating medicines, which have been used by the faculty. Ina word itis nearly quite the thing which has been sought for by the faculty for ages gone by. I remain yours, &ec. Lutaer Bricuam, M. D.
