THE NEWS,
The bounties to veterans arc extended.
Time will be given fbrali our regiments In
the fie]d to come in under the provisions of
this act. The b old fellows are
“ rallying once again” in all our armies, and,
from pccseut prospects, the overwhelming
majority will re-cnllst. With tlcse veteran
regiments filled to the tnmrimnrn by volun
teering or the draft, nothing more will bo
needed to end this war, and not another new
while regiment need -be formed. As to black
soldiers, we have just made a beginning, that
Is all. If we have fifty thousand now, we
should Lave one hundred thousand morerin
the field before summer opens.
In tbc Senate to-day takes place the debate
of Mr. Wilson's resolution for the expulsion
of Garrett xJavie. About all than can be said
for tbc latter is that he is like a toothless and
fanglcsf wolf, too far advanced WdccrEpitndc
to do any barm, and perhaps useful as a
warning to younger men of the danger of
sinking love of country in party lust, and
prostitution to tbc slave power. Davis
means harm*] enough but can accomplish
none. The Senate would be purer and better
without him. We doubt whether he Is ex
pelled. If he remains let Mm be like a hawk
nailed to a bam- door. He will be impaled
to-day, that Is certain.
The people have not gone thus far in this
war, and met all its demands with energy
and cheerfulness, now to be startlcdand draw
buck at one of its most incvitabl9 results.
They have given their men and means with
out stint because the country must be saved,
without which life were not worth thcTivxng,
and property mere dross. We have now be
fore us increased taxation, on assumption to
a degree not before experienced of tfaeburden
entailed by the war expenditure. Let it come,
net one loyal man will murmur against it-
Only save the nation, redeem onr territory,
crush the rebellion, and this generation will
cheerfully bear all the crosses and meet every
public demand. Only push on the wur, and
the taxes will be borne -without a remon
strance.
We give elsewhere an opinion of Solicitor
Whiting, of the War Department, upon the
object*- of the Enrollment act, jast been pub
lulled by the Provest-Marshal-Gcneral/which
v ill be adopted by the War Department a?
the law of the land upon every point discus
sed in it. It is a thorough and elaborate re
view of mooted points touching the question
of State credits, the assignment of quotas,
ai.d the equal distribution of the draft among
the Slates.
Notwithstanding the advices that continue
to pour in confirming French successes in
Mexico, Marshal Forcy, so cays late foreign
jnßTugence, has assured the Emperor that it
would be Impossible for France to keep pos
session of Mexico save by the means of a
large body of troops, which must remain for
years in the country. The French venture
on Mexico is likely to prove a most expen
sive and unrcmuncrative one.
Undoubtedly there will be no draft if the
Interim now allowed be diligently employed
in volunteering. Let every exertion be con
tinued to bring every willing man, white or
black, Into the ranks, for the month to come,
and we shall hear no more of the draft.
A gentleman now residing in Hits city, and
under a former Administration filling an im
portant diplomatic position abroad, informs
us that some months ago, at a South Ameri
can port, he was shown by the American
■Consul an official circular from Washington,
the purpose of wMch was to advise all our
foreign ministers and consuls that only such
portion of their salary would be paid them
in gold, as they should show, in their ac
counts with this GoveiTTnent, was actually
used for their living expenses abroad. All
over and above each com, ihoy w«ro to ro
eel ve in tbc same currency as that paid to the
other employees of the Government—green
backs. This being the case, the copperhead
Congressional faction arc reckoning without
their host in their late bnneome movement
to pay the army and navy in gold,on pretext
of demanding equalization. Tho government
has already equalized the whole subject with
its employees, and no favoritism can be
urged.
This is apparently avoleanlc period in his
tory, and revolutions are rife and threaten
ing in many parts of the world. As
come portions of the earth's surface are
perpetually volcanic, so to some nations, and
with none more so than the Spanish American
States, the revolutionary state seems their
normal one. Mexico, just now powerfully
convulsed, has her history covered with scars
and wounds of internal strife. In several of
fhe South American republics revolutions
:and sharp warfare has been in progress for
. several years past. In Granada latest advices
-.show a promised end of strife. Late advices
from Venezuela, received by private letter to
si gentleman* in this city, state that
■the successful revolutionary comman
der Gcu. Falcon, in whose favor Gen. Paez
abdicated some months ago, bah just succeed
ed in establishing his supremacy throughout
the jirovinccs, and that Guiana the lost to
bold out, was about to - unite with the rest,
and thus end a revolution which has waged
witbararylng fortunes since 1859. The origin
of the war was a strife of parties for the su
premacy. The result makes no change in
the former Government, a republic, with the
capital at Carracas, whither the several BfOV
iiiccs scud their delegates. The people ore
not guatly unlike the Mexicans, their lon- |
gauge is the pure Spanish, and their national
fortunes have been singularly like those of
then neighbors of Spanish stock. There was
however, at the dale above referred to, a
prenme that order and quiet were about to
tl\ itit Vcucruela. -
The Expulsion of Garrett Davis.
The tallowing Ip Mr. Wilson's resolution to be
debuted In the U. S. Senate to-day:
Whereat, The Hon. Garrett Davie, a Senator
Irom the State of Rentnekv, did. on the 6th day of
Jautmrr, A. D. 16CI, introduce into the Senate of
the Tnlted States a series of resolutions, in which,
amcna other things, it is declared that “the peo
ple of the North ought to revolt against the war
leaders and take this great matter into their own
Ikuklp." thercbv meaning to incite the people of
Hie United States to revolt against the President
of the United States and those in authority who
tupport him in the prosecution of the war to pre
serve, protect and defend the Constitution ana the
Union, and to lake the prosecotion of the war into
their own hands: therefore, be it
JRefolrtd, That the said Garrett Davis has, by
the introduction of the resolution aforesaid, been
gnlitr of advising the people of the United States
to treasonable, insurrectionary and rebellions ac
tion against the government of the United States,
and of gross violation of the privileges of the
Senate, lor which c&nse he Is hereby expelled.
LATEST FROR MEXICO.
New Ckleans, Jan. 3, 1801. —News from
Mexico via, Tampico, 2Cd ult, has just been
received in this city. It Is as follows: —The
Archbishop of Mexico, Senor Labastida,
bus resigned his place in tie regen
cy. Gen Comonfort had been killed by as
sassins and uot by soldiers of the Imperial
Government, which had offered a reward for
their apprehension.
The news front San Luis Potosils up to the
10th of December. The principal capitals of
the several Mexican States had been occupied
by the French. Guanajuato by 3,000 French
troops, and Qncrctaro, Morelia and Guadala
jara by the rest of the combined forces of
French and Mexicans. Aguascalicntcs had
•surrendered to CoL Chaves, after a siege
Gcu. Marquez W:is in Morelia. Gen. Mira
mon f accompanied by his two brothers and
.260 other chieftains and officers, had left the
-city of Mexico to raise a division, with which
he was to march on Durango.
6an Luis was expected to be iu the occupa
*son of the French about Christmas, and Ju
aftz, it is said, intended to take refuge in
Texas with his family, friends and retainers.
Letters from the interior of Mexico say
lb at no resistance will be opposed to the oc
cupation of San Luis, the Juarez government
being a mere effigy, nobodv obeying Us or
ders. Before leaving San Luis the liberals
hud imposed a forced loan of four hundred
thousand dollars on the city, whilst Gonzalez
'Ortega imposed a similar one of five hundred
* thousand on Zacatecas.
General Urogo, who had gathered some
ten thousand men for the purpose of fighting
the French and Mexican army in their ad
vance from Querctaro towards San Lids,
u tired, avoiding an encounter. •
Gcu. Mejia commands the vanguard of the
French and Mexican army, and will likely be
-the first to enter San Luis. To him has been
cuti uctcd the cure of scouring the roads and
securing a safe communication between, the
lust named city and Tampico; so it can be
•ejected that the State of Tamanlipas will
be entirely occupied by the Frcach-Mexican
ai my during this month. On one side the
civil State war forGovcrnor, dividing the op
position, will materially help Gen. Mejia in
bis operations: on the other side, it Is likely
thut some of the dissentients will abandon
Juarez’ bannerand join Mejia.

OPINION OF SOLICITOR WHITING.
Watt DETAUTJtrrTT. PBOVOST MARSHAL, )
General's Owice. V
Washington, January 7. 1
Cerctlar No. a— The following opinion of non
William Whitting, solicitor of the War Depart
ment, is published for the information and guid
ance of all concerned:
The chief objects of the act of 1853, chapter sev
enty-five, entitled “An act for enrolling and call
ing ont the, forces of the United States, and for
other purposes,” were to provide for enrolling the
forces of the United States in order to ascertain
the number oi able-bodied soldiers between the
ages of twenty arffl forty-five years who must be
called upon for military doty, to divide them into
desses, and to call ont from time to time such pro
portion of these troops as the emergencies of the
service should require. The design ol Congress,
as expressed in the danse to whlclf you have di
rected my attention. The last danse In the twelfth
section was to equalize the burden of famishing
soldiers, as far as possible, among the several
loyal States, and among the districts of each
State. To attain this resole, the statute directs
the lYesident to take into consideration the num
ber of volunteers and famished by and
from the several States, and the period of their
service since the commencement of the present
rebellion. It is obvious that the number of men*
and the periods of their respective service must
both be taken as dements of calculation, in order
to ascertain the total amount ol service performed
by the soldiers of a given State; and that the total
amount ol service thus ascertained in each State
would give the total amount in the aggregate of
all the service performed in all the States. To as
certain the amount of service which either one ol
the States would have rendered, if it bad borne
its just share, or,* in olhtr words, ’what part of
such aggregate service was Justly doe "from cadi
State, it became necessary to compare the popu
lation by the late census of each State with the
aggregate population ol all the States enrolled.
It was obvious that each State should contribute
in proportion to the pnmber of its inhabitants,
inasmuch as there was no other safe basis
for estimating the respective numbers of their
citizens capable of performing military duty.
This was tire plan prescribed by the statute of
July 22, ’•SCI, chapter nine, section one, for tbc ap
portionment of volunteers among the several
States. The proportion of troops doe from each
State was to that obtained from all the State*, as
the number of inhabitants of that State was to the
aggregate number of inhabitants of all the States.
The solution of the formulary gave lor each State
the number of troops required in order to make np
Its equal and just share. It the nnmbcr of troops
fell short ot this required proportion, that deficit
should be charged. If the number exceeded, it
diculd be credited to the State in question on ac
count of the draft under the enrollment act. When
the enrollment lias been completed, a new and
more satisfactory basis Is established for dlstribut
mg the burden of the draft. Having ascertained
the number of persons actually enrolled in the
several States, the nnmbcr of troops to be drawn
from each State will be calcnlated as •
follows: As the total number enrolled in
all the States fs to the nnmbcr enrolled in a par
ticular State, so the total number to bo drafted
ie*to the total numberto be drafted in a particular
Siatc. The number to be drafted, thus ascertain
ed, should be charged to the particular State, and
then the amount doc to or dne from that State on
the account of Jonqer service should be added to
orAublractsd from that nnmbcr. The balance is
that which is doe Irom the State in question; and
when balances are thus made up for all the States,
the amount of service will be equally distributed
according to law. The statute also requires that
the enrollment districts into ’which the States arc
to be divided sbonld be equalized among them
selves. This may be effected upon the same prin
ciples as above stated—the number of men to be
furnished by any one district bears the same pro
portion to the number to be famished by the State
as the number of men enrolled in that district
bears to the whole number enrolled in the State.
The only means provided by the statute to
enable tbc President* to equalize the draft among
the several districts is by reference to
the numbers therein respectively enrolled.
There being no census of Federal population for
either nf tIiMA Atstrtnta wm\t il.ta 1 MUfl u-j•
authority given to the President to taken census
thereof, It la obviously the intent of Congress that
the enrollment itseil should be the basis for equal
izing the draft among districts. The statute of
I 16C3 prescribes no particular mode of equalizing
{ the number of troops among the several States,
t and though the President is therefore left to his
| own discretion as to the mode of carrying the law
into effect, yet he is certainly justified In taking
the same mode of equalizing the draft among the
States as is prescribed for equalizing it among the
severs! districts; and whatever mode he adopts
: by which the law Is carried into effect, Ms decision
I Is as to the assignment of quotas. A dlf
| ficulty arose in the practical administration of
. this statute from the circumstance that
troops were required for service before a
the enrollment could be completed in*
all the States, and tit was impossible for them to
ascertain definitely the exact quota of each State
and district prior to the completion of the enroll
ment. To obviate this difficulty and avoid the
danger of having the army depleted while In the
presence of the enemy, it was deemed proper to
! divide the first draft into two parts, or to call ont
! only a portion of the first draft, with a view of
i completing the equalization of the draft as a wnole
after the enrollment should have been completed.
The second part of the first dralt, therefore, yet
remains to be completed, and it becomes neccasa
jy therefore to give each State credit in the above
mentioned account for all troops furnished under
the first part of the aforesaid draft, and the bal
ance of the first draft will be all that will now be
due on that draft from each State respective
ly. After the first section of the draft was drawn,
and before the quotas for the last section
thereof can he.asslgncd,' a sew element has been
introduced which must now be taken into account.
The Government has authorized volunteers to bo
enrolled who have received bounties, and who are
to be credited to the States as port of their respec
' live quotas in the same manner as though such
volunteers had been furnished under the draft. By
observing these principles and methods of calcu
lation, the requisitions of the law, in ascertaining
the quotas of each State will, I think, be sub
stantially complied with. I subjoin a tabular
Icmn of making out the account of each State for
more convenient reference.

The indications, as Inferred from Chase's

EXTENSION or BOUNTIES.
After delaying the matter for several days,
the Senate Finance Committee, on learning
that some adjustment of conflicting views
between tbc Treasury and War Departments
bad been made, to-day reported in favor of
tbc House bill extending bounties to veter

they had resolved to suspend them on the

which had elapsed they decided not to modi

In the course of the debate in the Senate,
Harris took occasion to say that with the
veteran re-enlistments this bill would secure,
and In the present condition of the rebellion,
be believed another draft would never be
needed.
Senator Doolittle subsequently expressed
nearly the same opinion, adding that if the

of it ending in favor of the Administration,
would be the end of the rebellion

Mr. Chase has expressed the opinion to the

The Senate and Douse this morning elected
the officers nominated at the Republican cau
cus yesterday. Also appointed Theodore
Gulichc, of Burlington, Assistant Post
master.
Governor Kirkwood sent in to
day. It gives the condition of the State llnau
ecs as follows: Our entire State debt is
only $0,220,575, consisting of aloan from tbe
school funds of $122,205.75; loan of 1853,
$200,000 ; and war loan of 1861, $300,000. Of
the SBCO,CCO of war bonds to be
sold, SSOO,CCO remain on hand. None have
been offered ajscc the $300,000 were sold,
and it is believed that no further soles will
be necessary.
The money now in tbe treasury, the delin
quent taxes, the amount estimated to be due
from the United States, and the taxes for
1663 and 1804, is sufficient to pay the estimated
expenditures for the next two years. The
outstanding warrants on the treasury, and
our entire State debt, leaves a balance in fe
ver of the treasury of about $200,000. The”'
Governor estimates that there is $300,000 due
the State from the United States, on account
of expenses incurred iq raising and equip
ping Iroops, purposes connect
ed thin ,fhc rcbelimn *•—
investment of the school and university
funds in the United States stocks or stocks
this State.
Thq appointment of an additional judge of
the Supreme Court is recommended, to
enable that court to do its work promptly,
and do it welL An appropriation of $5,000
to be expended in the purchase of law books
for the State library is recommended, so
that the judges in deciding questions affect
ing the most vital rights and interests of the
people, may consult these fountains of the
law.
It shows the State University In a flourish
ing condition. Over SSO students are at pre
sent in attendance from all parts of the
State.
It recommends a military professorship iff
the University, and it ought to be adopted.
By the message, it appears that the deaf
and dumb asylum is at lowa City, In a rented
building. It recommends a liberal policy
toward charitable institutions. It recom
mends the appointment of special committees
to visit and investigate the condition of the
various charitable institutions, and the peni
tentiary.- •
' Ho speaks of the organization and arming
of military companies in the State.
The Governor said the Government had, in
some instances, arrested and imprisoned per
sons whoso restraint the public safety re
quired, and this was interpreted to mean an
intention on the part of the Government to
break down all the defences of civil liberty,
ana to establish a despotism. The entire
policy of onr Government, as interpreted by
these men was, that the war was waged not
for the preservation of the Union, but for
the abolition of slavery. That the object of
tfie Government in seeking to abolish slavery
was, to bring the freed slaves North andlorcc
their labor into competition wlAi that of the
poor white man. That, by the so-called con
scription law, the Government sought to.
force only the poor men of the country into
the ranks of the anny. To effect these ob
jects, so prejudicial to their interests, that,
while these objects were being effected, the
Government intended to overthrow onr free
institutions, and establish in their stead a
despotism.
It Is passing intelligent men
could be found so wicked as to make these
statements, and that other men could be
found so ignorant and .foolish as to believe
them. But so it was. Thousands of honest
but deluded men believed them, and in con
sequence entertained feelings of deep hostili
ty to the Government. In this' exited state
of the public mind, secret societies were
organized in.many of the loyal States, the
members of which were secretly armed for
the avowed purpose of protecting themselves
against what were called arbitrary arrests, but
as lam satisfied, with the intent upon the
part of the leaders to bring their members
into armed collision with the General Gov
ernment In ease any attempt should be made
to enforce the draft. The natural result of
these teachings and this action was seen In
the bloody riot that occurred in the chief
city of the Union, and in similar smaller out
breaks in other places.
In this condition of affairs the Government
saw fit and did organize and arm men who
pieservedthc peace and enforced the law.
And further he says, the companies thus or
ganized and armed arc still in existence, and
should any further legislation be deemed ne
cessary for their efficiency, I recommend that
such legislation he had. #
* Since the last session the two regiments of
infantry and one of cavalry* then incomplete
have been organized, aud in addition twenty
four regiments of infantry, five regiments of
cavalry and one battery have been enlisted,
all for tfirec years. * Besides these complete
organizations a large number of men have
been enlisted for regiments In the field* He
recommends that.lhe property of non-com
missioned officers and privates in the service
be exempted from taxation, and favors aid to
the sanitary associations and aid to needy
families of soldiers." He pays a deserved
tribute to Adjt. Gen. Baker.
In speaking of the-.President's proclama
tion the Governor says: If seems to me
those terms and conditions are eminently
just and proper, ,falr and liberal to those to
whom they arc offered, and such as the per
manent peace of the country requires; and
endorses the entire policy of the administra
tion.
Other important recommendations are
mode which I cannot compress into a dis
patch. •

■others, asking indemnity for the United
States from indignities to persona and.prop
erty in theta- efforts for the enforcement of

from the Finance Committee the House bill
extending the bounties to veteran and othdr
volunteers. '<& ■
Mr. LANE,-of Kansas, reported from the
Military Committee the House bill for tho
payment of officers and men actually em
ployed In the Department of Missouri.
Mr. "WILSON,'‘of Mass., Introduced a bill
authorizing the appointment of a second As
sistant Secretary ol War,
The joint resolution continuing tho boun
ties heretofore paid was passed.
Mr. SUMNER, of Moss., modified* his
amendment to tho enrollment bill providing
that the Secretary of War ’ shall apply the
money received Irom substitutes and other
wise to the single object of procuring substi
tutes.
Mr. SHERMAN, of Ohio, opposed tlie
amendment as an extra income tax and also
as calculated to raise the price of enlistments
and "was operating unequally. •
. A message was rend from the President in
answer to the inquiry relative to the alleged
exceptional treatment ol Kansas prisoners
by the rebels—transmitting letters from the
Secretary of War to the Commondcr-in-Chlcf
of the Army and the Commissary General of
prisoners.
G cn. Hallcck says:
“ There is nothing In the records of ibis office to
show the manner in which the wounded and dead
soldiers have been treated on the battle field by
the rebels, nor Is there anything to show that the
Kansas volunteers have been pat to death, on be
ing taken prisoners. Only fifty-eight enlisted man
of the Kansas regiments, can be found on the res
old as having been delivered on parole by tho
enemy.”
Mr. FESSENDEN, of Maine, reported back
from the Committee on Finance without
amendment, the House bill continuing boun
ties to volunteers to March Ist, 18& L in con
nection with the subject be presented a letter
from the Secretary ofthc Treasury, stating
his inability to meet the heavy draft required
by the bill In such a short space of time, and
recommending Increased taxation.
Mr. FESSENDEN said as the Committee of
Ways and Means in the House would consid
er favorably the recommendation of the Sec-
Jjogcd
March Ist The biU was passed.
The enrollment bill was then considered,
and various amendments discussed.
Mr. DOOLITTLE said that every citizen
owed to his Government for his protection,
not only of bis property, but more than that,
his personal services. The revenue bills pro
vided for taxation, but the bill before the
Senate called for the services of the citizens
of the United States.
It was a coll upon the men ofthc country
to rallyaronnd the flag. Every able, bodied
man is bound to render that service. He
thought the proposition of Snmnern just
one. We shall never be compelled to resort
to any draft when we shall have filled np the
old regiments. This will be tbe finishing
blow to the rebellion. At the same time the
President should have tho power ami ability
to call out from time to time tho whole
B,CCO,CCO liable to duty. The moral effect
contained In such a provision woald go far
towards crushing the rebellion.
At the instance of Mr. WILSON, Mr. Snm
ncr modified his amendment reducing the
per ccntagc of tithes on incomes.
The amendment of Sumner was rejected
by a vote of 25 to 15.
*Mr. GRIMES said he would like to know
the unmber of colored soldiers enlisted, and
whether any attempt bad oeen author
ized to eniiet colored men in the border
States. ; ;
• Mr. WILSON stated it was not In his pow
er t«fc answer tho question definitely,* He
understood we had 50,000 colored soldiers
In service, and were increasing the number
‘daily. We w’ere doing well in Eastern Vo.
and Maryland. Gen. Bailer has rc-eullsted
1000. Wc are doing well in Missouri, East
Tennessee and other parts of the country.
He’did not think the Government hadpres§-
cd this matter of raising coldred troops os
vigorously as it should have done. As onr
armies advance we should swell them by the
addition of colored troops. The people
everywhere are a unit in snpporting the
policy ot employing colored soldiers to fight
onr battles.
Mr. WILSON, of Moss., moved nt 4 o’clock
to. go into executive session, as there was no
prospect of a vote on the bilk The,motion
was adopted. ’
