Important Bitt—Incrgasg or THe MivitaRy Foros.—We have received a copy of the follow- ing important bill, introduced in the Senate, on Wednesday, by General Cass, Chairman of the Military Committee. It will give rise to a high- ly interesting debate, when called up fora second reading. IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES. December 22.1847, Mr. Cass, from the Committee on Military Affairs, reported the following bill, which was read, and passed to a. second reading. A L To vaise. for a limited time, an additional military force. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Reprerente- tives o, the United States of America, in Congress as- sem! ‘That, in addition to the present military os tablishment of the United States, there shall be raised and organised, under the direction of the President, for end during the war with Mexico, ten regiments of in- fantry. each to be composed of the same number and rank of commi-sioned and non-commissioned officers musicians, and privates, as are provided for a regiment of jnfantry for the war, under existing Inwa, and who shall receive the same pay, rations, bounties and allow- ances, acoording to their respective grades, and be sub. ject to the same regulations and to the rules and ar. oles of war: Provided, That all the commissioned of. ficers authorized by this act shall be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Benate See 2. And be it further enacted, That th be appointed one surgeon anc two assistant surgeoi each regiment authorized by the foregoing section, each of whom, previous to such appointment, shall be exam- ppr nthe manner prescribed by the firet f the dret section of an act to increase and regu- late the pay of the surgeons and assistant surge*ns of the army, approved June thirtieth, eighteen hundred and thicty-four. Wasninoto, Deo. 92, 1847. On Dits. Mr. Clingman, to-day, succeeded, while the Presi- dout’s message was being referred, in making s motion. upon which he hunga regular speech for Buncombe— for he is the bona fide reprosentative of the Buncombe district in the tar and turpentine State. Mr. C. set himself right before his constituents, which was doubt- less the sole object of his speech. In the Senate, Mr. Hale made a pretty emart begin- ning in behalf of certain abolition petitions; but it is nothing, we suppose, to what we are to have by-and by. Col Benton has been fairly wearied out with the Fre- mont Court Martial He does not go down there any more. and we understand he will leave Fremont aud Jones to carry it through We further understand ,that Col. Benton will bring this business before the Senate, and ask # committee on the subject; and that in view of this proceeding, the California men in town, have been advised to stay; and that the Adjutant General has been requested to act ac- cordingly, 60 that the arny officers in the premises, now here, may not be sent away.

ITION QURSTION produced s petition from the anti-rla ewport, Waynes county, Indiana, praying Congress to adopt measures for the teraination of the war with Mexico, nnd also that Congress exercise its power to the extent of the au thority or the constitution, for the extinction of slavery Mr Hal he supposed this was intended to apply to rlavery, as it existed in the district of Columbia. The usual courte in petitions of this kind, was to raise a question of reception, and then to lay that question upon * the table. He hoped @ different course would be pursued in this case; that the Senate would take the vote direct- ly upon the question of reception; and not suppress it by aside blow. On the question of reception, he would call the ayes and noes ‘The Vice Prusipert—The question is, shall the ques- tion of reosption be laid apon the table. Mr Have—ls that the question, sir! The Vict Paxsipent—As a matter of course, sir. Mr. Hace said, if it were in order, he desired to say a word upou the main question of the petition itself.

Hale, Davis, of Poolps win Muller, id shots, and Mr. Burle- || not wish to stir up angry feelings. He moved that the petition be received. Mr Bernren said that under the rule, the rule of the Senate, we had avoided on this question those angry dis cussions which had go often been excited in the other house, He did not apprehend that there was any thing which the Senator had said which would induce the Senate to change its practice. He moved, therefore, that the question of reception be laid upon the tables. And the motiou was carried, and the question of reoep- tion was laid upon the table. ARMY BILL, Mr. Cass, from the Committee on Military Affairs, in- troduced a bill to raise for a limited time an additional military force. ‘The bitl provides for ten new regiments of infantry to serve during the war, under the regulations of existing laws ; the commissioned officers to be appointed by the Prcsident, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. Sec. 2. Provides for 1 surgeon and 2 assistant surgeons to each regiment, to be previously examined as to quali- fications, ‘The bill was ordered to be printed. Mr. Cass gave notice that he should, at an early day, ask for the consideration of this bill And, after a short Executive session, held at the in- stance of the Chairman on Foreign Relations, the Senat adjourned. House of Representatives. Wepnespay. Deo, 22, 1847, MR. GIDDINGS? ABOLITION PETITION. Yesterday, Mr. Giddings presented @ petition from eighteen citizens of this district, asking tor the abolition of slavery therein. By the casting vote of the Speaker, the motion to lay it on the table was rejected. ‘This morning, Mr Ligon, of Maryland. said that he voted to lay the petition presented by Mr Giddin fs on the table, but his Dame appeared on the vegstive side. The Sreanen—That will cbange the result of the vote The clerk will announce it.

In other cases he shall not vote, uvless the Houre be equally divided, or unless hi {f given to the minority, will moke the division equal; and in case of such equal divi- sion, the question shall by lost.” The petition is laid upon the table. MAJOR TOCHMAN—MR_ BODISCO. Mr. Tatumapce presented the memorial of Mejor Tochman, asking for relief, and it was {referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. The Major’s memorial occupies forty-four ootavo pages ; and he gives an count of his diffloulties with Mr. Bodisco, the Russian Minister, in relation to the claims of the next-of-kin and heirs-at law of Gen. Thaddeus Kosoiusko. He prays that Cong:ess will give to the Circuit Court of the United States for the fourth circuit in the dietrict of Maryland, jurisdiction of all the cases at law and in equity cones ning the estate of Kosciusko, now depending in the Circuit Court of the District of Columbia And be fur- ther prays Congress to take such measures to restrain Mr Bodisco, Minister from Russia, from interfering with his professional pursuits in this country (as in their wis- dom may seem to be consistent with the honor of the sovereignty of these United States offended, by the attempt of Mr. Bodisco to visit upon one of its citizens the penal laws of a foreign country), for alleged political offenocs against that foreign country, and as the policy of these United Stetes, represented by Congress, may require and admit MR. GIDDINGS’ PETITION—AGAIN. Mr. Gippinas— Will it now be in order to move to refer the petition (on slavery) which | offered yester- day? The Sreaxen—The chair is of the opinion that it will be in order. Mr Giopinas—I! move, then, that it be referred. ‘The Sreaxxn—The petition offered by the gentleman from Ohio yesterday was laid on the table. The ques- tion now js, shall it be considered? The question was put, and decided in the negative. The Sreaxen—The noes have it. THE SOMMITTER ON INDIAN AFFAINE Mr Gentry sent up # report, which was read at the Clerk’s table, viz:—" At a meeting of the Committee on indian Affairs, on motion of Mr. Gentry, it was resolved, that Mr. Barringer be appointed chairman of the com- mittee [A voice: * Has a committee the right to change its chairman?” and another: * What did Gentry give up for ?”"] ‘The Srcaxen—The paper will lie on the table, if there be no objection. ko. vTeLL us “THE sror.” Mr. Lixcoty, of Illinois, presented a long preamble avd resolutions, eight iu number, rsking the President to {vform the House whether the American” spot on which the President says blood was shed by the Mexi- {s not within the soil wrested from Spain by the revolution ; whether the mojority of Mexi- t oF mate that such a movement was not necessary, Ko. The Sreaxer—The resolutions call for information, und they go over, Mr. Vixrow—I move that the House resolve itself into a Committes of the Whole on the State of the Union. (‘Ob, no! let resolutions be called for.’?) A large number of resolutions were, in the course of the day, presented, requesting the several committees to make the inquiries designated, ARMY SURPLIES—A MILL PASSED, | On motion ef Mr Vinton, the House resolved itself | Into » Committee of the Whole on the State of the | Union (Mr J. R. Ingersoll in the Chair), and took up | the bill making an appropriation of one million of dol- | late to supply, deficiency, in part, for subsistence for the army and volunteers, for the year ending on the | 80th of June, 1849. | _ Letters wore read from the Seoretary of War and tho | Commissary General, urging the passage of the bill, and saying that delay would be detrimental to the public vest Mr. Vinton gave a few words of explanation. The est.mated detioit for the subsistence department, on the | 30th of June next, is little short of four millions of dol- | lare It appears from the statements just read, that | the department is ia daily expectation of receiving drafts from Mexico to the amount of five hundred thou- sand, and there are only sixty tho meet them. The Commissary General, the committee, said he expected that the next train would bring the same amount of drafiws. T will be here in a month. The appropriation is not alone for the drafca on the way, but for others expected. Money has been raised in Mexico on the drafts now on their way, and, a8 a matter of course, they must be met, or the country’s credit be dishonored, He presumed that there would be no objection to make the appropriation now asked for to meet the present emergency. Mr Potrock—I1 move that the committee rise and re- port the bill. Mr Ciincmax—What is the motion? The Cuainman—That the committee rise and report the bill. Mr Curnoman—I suggest to the gentleman to lay aside the bill, and take up some other subject. [A voice: * The President’s message. ”’) Mr. Potrock—I insist on my motion. When the bill {a passed, we cap go into committee again. Mr McKay—I suggest to the gentleman whether i: would not be better to take up the President’s annual message. It {s certainly important that action be taken on the meesage. It in now the 22nd day of December, and the several parte of it #hould be referred, that the committees may proceed with their respective duties. Mr. Vintox—I have no objection to that course, and I send to the Chair the following resolutions (holding them in his hand.) The Cuainman—The bill will bo laid aside to be re- | ported. | Mr. Portocr—I made a motion that the committee and report the bill, and I adhere to that motion. Ir. Van Dyke-~Is it the proper time to propose an amendment ? The Coatmman—It fa. Mr. Vax Dyvxe—I understand the bill to cover ox- penses already incurred. Mr. Vinton repeated, briefly, what ho had sald, and added that money ha been raised on the drafts. ‘The committee rose, and the bill was read a third time, and passed. THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE, The House again went into Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union—Mr. J. R. Ingersoll in the ebair—when Mr Vinton offered a series of resolutions referring the several parts ef the President’s annual message to the appropriate committees Mr. Curseman, of North Carolina ~Mr. Chairman, I desire to offer uu amendment to one of the resolutions Let it be read for information.

Mr Grovixcs—I have another inquiry to put to the Chair. {tisthie: whether in esvlution is included that pert of the President's message which calls upon Congress to pay fer the slaves of the Amixtad, and which would be referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs? ‘The Cuainman —I am unable to determine.

The Sreaxen—The Chair understands the resolution to say, “when the House adjourns to-morrow;” therefore it will not be in order until to-morrow. Mr. McKay moved that the resolutions offered by Mr. Vinton, (to refer the President’s message) be print- ed; and the motion was agreed to. Mr. Brovrrap submitted resolutions on the same sub- Ject, and asked that they also be printed. ‘The House acceded to the request, and then ad- Jjourned. Court Martial of Lieut. Col. Fremont. Wasninoton, Deo. 22, 1847. (The testimony before the Court to-: brought out more important facts in Col. Fremont's favor, than those which been elicited in all the former docu- ments, We refer to that portion of Col, Russell’s cross- examination, which gives General Kearny’s conversa- tion with him (Russell) in regard to his claims to the chief command, and th bsequent interview with Col. Fremont, and which shows cleurly that in the course he (Fremont) pursued, he was incited so! ly by strict regard to what he considered his hee al though it was in opposition, not only to his inter- est, but his prejuslics favor of General Kearny. A few piquant episodes also ocourred to-day, and which we give as they took place. {n order the bette: to understand them, you will bear in mind that we ar at present luxuriating with the thermometer seme de- greea below zero..] The Court opened at the usual hour. The minutes were read. Col. Russell’s cross-examination by the Court was then commenced. Q—How often did you see armed parties of Califor- niaos, which it was generally understood were organized for the attack of the Mormons? How large were these parties, and what was their organization? A.—I saw them repeatedly. Their numbers were smail—fifteen to twenty. I never saw more than that number together. It was generally understood, how- ever, that there were lorger parties. Jupce Apvocare—The question is, whether you saw anything? A—I knew nothing specially of their organization— merely from observation. Q.—At what time in the day did you go to Commo- dore Stockton’s quarters for the purpose of receiving your commission? A—Not earlier than noon; it may have been later; but [ am ocertein it was not later than the middle of the deel” (To the court.) It was, ,I suppose, on the ch. Juper Apvocate—He has made his explanations at length on that subject, Q.—Did you heac or witness, any*disoussion, or con- versation with reference tothe appointment of Lieut. Col. Fremont, in presence of Commodore Stockton? A.—I did not. I never heard any such disctssion. ? id General Kearny, in his conversation with you on the evening of the lith, propose to give you the office of Secretary of State, or had he any conversation with you on thas ‘subject, at that or any other time? _ A.—General Kearny. on the evening of the 13th, both in regard to Col. Fremont and myrelf, expreased plea- sure at our being in the country, and said if hi tions had been recognised, he would have self of our services, | do not remember hia reference to myeelf, whether he mentioned my name in connection with the office of Secretary of State or a judgeship. | remember distinotly that he spoke of bis intention of appoloting Lieut Col. Fremont governor Q—When you went first to Los Angeles to see who was in chief command, did you receive any instruction from him as to which party you were to recognise, if you found both claimed the chief command? A.—My iustruetions from Lieut. Gel. Fremont were to proceed to Los Angeles, and carefally inquire as to who was in chief command, and to make my report ac- cordingly. No such circumstance as finding both in command, was contemplsted, | think, by Col. Fremont, when he despatched me on that mission By Col Cxanz—Why did you first report to General Kearny instead of to Commodore Stockton? A —I bore a letter from Col Fremont to Gen. Kearny. in acknowledgment of one received from bim whilst on bis march, aud for the further reason that we were to- tally ignorant of tre objectof Gen Kearny being in the country, and my orders from Col. Fremont were that I should ascertain all about it. Q —You said, in your direct examination, “I inform ed Col Fremont that both Gen Kearny and Commo- dore Stock'on were anxious to appoint him Governor. but for a diflculty.”’ How was that diffloulty removed? A—lI learned from General Kearny that he brought with him instractions from the Secretary of War, and that be felt himself authorized, in-virtue of satd in- structions, to assume the chief command. From Com- modore Stockton | learned, on the sam ming, that his relations to the territory as chief commander were in nowise Bg by the arrival of General Kearney in the country apprehended some difficulty from the apparent collision between these gentlemen, and wes in- duced thereby to institute the enquiry that led me to the result that Commodore Stockton was still rightful commander-in-ohief. Cot, Cuuncutiy.— Is that part of the question ? A.—I think 1t is. ‘ pa Cou, Tayton.—The question covers a wide eld. A —[Continued]—I so reported to Col. Fremont. Jupcs Apvocate.—That is the answer you make to the question, Colonel? A —I think so. Q —Please state all the convorsation that passed be- tween you and Lieut. Col Fremont on the capitulation of Cowengs, after your return from Los Angeles, with the reporc of your visit. A.—I met Col Fremont at the head ¢f his battalion on the morning of the 14th of January, and stated, as in my chief examination about five or six miles from Los Angeles, and told him that I had muen conversation with both General Kearny and Commodore Stockton, touching their respective positions in the country ; th I wassatisfied from what had occurred, that Gen ny was a better friendof a from Gen. Kearoy's own admission I regretted to’ hi to give it as my opinion tha: we should have to look to Commodore Stookton still as commander-in-chief; that [found him exercising the functions of commander-in- chief, and submitted to implicitly, as 1 thought, by General Kearny. [his was tnesubstance of my commu- nication to Col Fremont, and he, | think, with equal re- luctance, came to the conclusion. Q.—Please state the particulars of the conversation you had with Gen. Kearny as to his right to command in California. A.—I had a conversation first with Gen. K ey, "based on his instructions, which he seemed to consider a | enquired of him why he had not insisted on obedience from Commodore Stockton,and he informed me that he had but few troops ; the second conversation was in re- ferenoe to the assimilated rank of army and paval offi- cers; of his grade and Commodore Stockton's. I dia. \inetly remember that | maintained that his position as Brigadier General ranked Commodore Stockton. He thought otherwise, and claimed chief command in virtue of his instructions only. ut ,Col. Hunt—But still he claimed to be first in rank? A-In virtue of his instructions only. It seémed strange to me that he did not claim it in virtue of his rank, and fo I communicated to Col. Fremont the next day, the 14th, It was that admission of Gen. hie mainly, that led me to consider Com Stockton stiil rightfully in command ; both pretending to rely on in- structions from Washington. General Kearny’s | saw; Commodore Stockton’s | nover wor Presivent—Any one present during the discus- ion A-—I think it possibie it. Turner was. certain ; he occupied the same room | did. Q-—Did you nee an extract from the army regulations as to rank, during that conversation with Gen Kearny. or what induced you to say that Gen, Kearny ranked Commodore Stockton ? A-I did not see the extract referred to. My opinion was founded on my own judgment, unassisted by any information Q—Did Gen. Kearny say anything in regard to there Deing such a grade in the navy as commodore. A-~-| do not remember whether the grade of commo- dore was mentioned or vot. His remarks referred to 8 commander of @ rquadron. Q ~Have-you stated in your examination in chief, all the conversation with Gen. Kearny, in relation to the Governorship ? If not, now state It.

Tayton.—You have been burnt so often, you ought not to mind it by this time! Cou, Faemont then put the following questions to the witness :— Q.~ On what day did Governor Stockton leave Los Angeles? and when did Lt Col. Fremont commence the exercise of his duties as Governor and Commander-in- Chief in California, under the appointment of Governor Stockton? ‘A- He left within a day or two, and immediately thereupon Col. Fremont commenced the exercise of his duties ws Governor. ‘Q—Washe recognized, obeyed and respected as the Governor and Commauder-in-Chief? and did he reside at the old estabiished seat of Government? He was asfully ized as Governor and Com- in-Chief, as any Governor ever was, and he re- sided in Los Augeles, the ancient capital of California, and in a bouse vacated for his use by Commodore Stockton Q —Do you know whether he was ever relieved in any lawful manner of that office? A—lI am positive he was not up to the moment of m; leaving the country, about the 22nd or 23rd of Mi last : und the more positive he was not, because, oe my office of Secretary of State, by a rule established by Col. Fremont, all such communtoations passed. Q.—Do you know whether the definite instructions of the 5th of November, directing the Naval Commander to relinquish to Col, or Gen, Kearny, the direc- tion of operations on land, and the control over the ad- ministrative functions of Government, and to turn over to him all papers nec to the performance of those duties, were ever communicated to Gov. Fremont, either by the General Government of the United States, by Commodores Shubrick or Biddle, by Gen Kearny or any other person whatsoever ; and if such instructions had been communicated to him, would you not have Lt Uely, in your capacity, as Secretary of State, to ow it? A—I think they never were, up to the time of my leaving, the 22d or 234 of March; if they had been oom municated to Gov. Fremont, I think, from my position as Secretary of State, I would unquestionably have known it. Q—Do yeu know anything of the value or uses, as re- speots the public service, of White or Bird Ieland, men- tioned in the 6th specification of the first charge and the BG secipeton of the third charge, as purchased from Temple? "The Jupar Apvocare objected to this question, as no question had been raised as to the value of the island. It was merely charged as displaying contempt for General Kearny’s authority. being pressed, the court was closed in The question order to decide if it should be put or not. When the court was opened, the Judge Advooate declared their de- cision to be, “that the question had no relation to the obarges.”” Q.—Was the state of the country so quiet subsequent apitulation of Cowenga to the middle ot March. American officer might ride out without danger? considered it so entirely settled that I rode with panish gentleman, who was one of the chief offoers in the insurreotion, from Los Angeles to San Diego and back again, stoppiug at the Spauish houses. Gov. Fre- mont, himself, with one of the Picos. and @ servant, rode from Los Angeles to Monterey, a distance of over 400 miles and back again. I visited Spaniards in the city and elsewhere, as 1 would Amerioans here. Q —Did obedience to the commands of Commodore Stockton in preference to those of Gen. Kearny, when they were both claiming the chief command present any advantages personal or military, to Lt. Col Fremont? A.—I think not. Gen. Kearny was known to have funds, and expected shortly an arrival of troops. He was, besides, known to bea warm friend of Col. Fre- mont’s family, and I am satisfied that Col. Fremont elect- ¢ el obey Commodore Sto:kton alone from a conviction of duty. Lr Cor. Moxncan—Mr. President, may I have leave to go to the fire? Paxsipent—Certainly. sir. Q—By the Count—Was Lieut Col. Fremont recog- nized as Governor by General Kearny, Col. Mason, or any other officer of the army ? 1 have heard —I did not know that he over was. I never saw those gentlemen alluded to. that he was. Q—By Courr —You did not refer to the officers with Gen. Kearny, when you said he was as fully recognised us any other governor ever was ? A.—I did not. They were all, with the exception of Cooke, 409 or 500 miles distant from us. Cooke war about 100 miles distant. “I meant the mative popular tion. By Jupax Apvocate —You say he had not received any lawiul notice thut he was relieved of the office of governor. Had he not received the joint proclamation, and orders of Kearny and Stockton ? ; they were reovived a few days before | n reoeipt of those, he went to Mon- terey to see them, and before his retutn I left the coun- nA The joint proclamation | saw; the orders! never By tHe Court —How long had you resided in Califor. nia, and what other governors had you known beside Lieut.

Hunt, and the court closed for its consideration. After some time had elapsed, the door was re-opened ) Q—By tHe Courn1—You have spoken both of General pny and Commodore Stockton relying on their in- structions for the authority they olaimed, and you say you did not see Commodore Stockton’s instructions. How do you know Commodore Stockton relied on instructions? A—Itold Commodore Stockton that I had seen Gen Kearny’s instructions, and that they seemed to be very fall, and I desired to know from him whether he eo sed instructions that would countervail those of Gen Kearny. He replied to me thet he had tull and plenary instructions, carried out by him sealed, not to be opened until he reached agiven point; but he would not exhi- bit them, like slaves did their passes. That he had no fear of bis powor being impaired or crippled by the in- structions of Gen. Kearny; and from his confident man- ner I felt fully assured that he had counterpart or para- mount instructions to those of Gen Kearny, and | oon- tinued fn that opinion up to my arrival in Washington city, inJuly or August of the present year. I think it was on or about the 14th of January I saw Com. Stock- ton; it may have been on the 13th—I think sot, how- ever. By rar Count—Was Lieut. Col. Fremont informed by Com. Stockton of his having, or claiming to act under instructions ? A-lI think he was by ms. Whether by Stockton or not, I cannot tell. I repeated to Col. Fremont all these conversations. by Lt. Col. Fremont. —Do you know what losses, if any, the Californians sustained on the 8th and 0th of January? Objected to by the Court, and withdrawn. Q. by Fremoxt.—What number of the Californians were there supposed to bo in arms, at or about the capi . ulation ef Cowengs ? ‘A. They were variously estimated. No one, I pre- sume, accurately knew. They were estimated from 200 to 400, but how near an approximation to the troops, I can- not say. Col. Faxutoxe wished Col. Russell detained, as some question might arise, which the Court agreeing to, his examination for the present was concluded. Col.
