Quite a feat to walk up into the capitol on such a day, the ascent being over an exposed flagging, which burns like a reflector, and the level of the two houses bei some two hundred feet above the level of the Ti- ber. The monotony of the morning hour was broken in upon this morning, by a passage at arms be- tween two or three of the military chieftains of the Senate. Sometime ago, General Davis, of Mis- siscippi, presented a flag from General Twiggs, to the Senate, to be by them placed on file, as among the national relics in the possession of the govern- ment. The flag was the “ star spangled banner,” smoked and dus’y, and piereed with balls from the buttle fields of Mexico, having been borne in triumph from Vera Cruz to the capital, and being the first flag of this republic ever raised upon the summit of £2 Palacto Nacionale of the imperial city of the Aztecs, The soldiers, who so bravely bore it onward from victory to victory, return it to the government, under whose orders they fought, covered with evidences of the glory tey have won. Gen. Jeflerson Davis to-day (himself a relic from the northern column of the army—a cripple from Buena Vista’s bloody field), presented a pa- per from an officer of the southern column, setting forth lus evidence in the matter relating to the elevating of the flag of our country on the Na- tional Palac of the enemy’s capital, which paper Mr_ Davis moved be printed, rice ° [The paper, we understand, maintains the title of the division of Gen. ‘Twiggs to the honor in question. f Gen, Foote (a general of the gallant State mili- tia of Mississippi, on the home service) regretted that his colleague had not first consulted with him betore presenting this paper, as it was calculated to do injustice to a noble Mississippian, who had eminently distinguished himself in this war, and particularly in the capture and occupation of the city of Mexico ( Quitman). Rr. Butler, of C. (brother of Col. Butler, commanding the South Carolinians at Churubusco, where he was slain), submitted his understanding of the history of the fight at the Garua de Belen, the entrance to the city, by the army. Gen. litman, at that point, under a severe fire of the retiring enemy, had first raised a handkerchief on the top of a musket, as a signal of victory, which was elevated on the evemy’s works. Calling for a fiag, that of the South Carolina regiment was produced, and the Palmetto flag, the flag of South Carolina, was the first raised on the walls of the city. en. Davis was aware of the facts alluded to by the Senator from South Carolina, and in his course upon thisquestion, had not attempted to invalidate them, or do any thing which might detract from the merits of the distinguished citizen of his own State, alluded to by his colleague. He had not imegined that this was a strife between Generals, but hetwesn subalterns, between one or two lieu- tenants, and a sergeant of Marines. He himself, neither in the Senate, nor elsewhere, had entered into this scramble for small honors. He left that to the subordinates. ¥ __ Gen, Foote stated that he had not imputed any intention on the part of his colleague to detract rom the well earned honors of Gen. Quitman. He did not think that the State of Mississippi con- ned a wretch who was base enough to be guilt of euch conduct. Nor had he imputed to his eol- league any desire to scramble for the smalier honors, either here or elsewhere, of which he thought his vehement disclaimer was altogether unnecessary and gratuitous. Mr. Davis said he was aware that his colleague had made no personal imputations upon him, and his colleague must have known 30. Personal im- tations would not be replied to by him in, that bod: . There was another manner of noticii such things, and another place. (A murmur. oi inquiry was here audible among Senators— is all this ?”’) J e Gen, Foote again rose, and referred to his former remarks ag an evidence of the desire on his part to avoid giving offence to his colle : and said that his colleague had acknowle there was no personal impvtations made. therefore, thought that his colleague, in advertiny to the course he weuld have pursued, had suc! been the case, and in alluding so significantly to the arbitrament he would have appealed to, manifested a spirit and temper which, was not called for by eg said or done by him. And he would now only say—[Here Mr. Butler and other Senators, aftempied to interpose, but General Foote insisted on his right to the floor, and they took their seats] He would only say that had an invitation to such an arbitra~ ment been presented to him, there was no man on earth he would more willingly accommodate than his colleague. Major Borland, one of the American detachment captured at Enenrnacion, by General Minon, then went into a detailed statement of the operations of General Worth’s division, in the eapiure of Mi co, which had passed under his own observation, (he having been marched with his fellow prisoners some (00 miles to the cityof'Mexico for safe keep- ing, by order of Suma Anna.) The, keys of the city were surrendered by the authorities to General Worth, who forwarded them promptly to General Sco't. The latter then ordered Worth to remain in his potition, at the entrance of the city, until General Quitman had entered and taken posses- sion of the palace. _ Mr, Dayton here interposed, and on his motion the whole subject was laid on the table. ‘Theee army digputes do seem to be the most diffi- cult things to settle in the world. We hope that the {two Senators from Mississippi will mot mag- nify this thing into a casxs bell. Let the army officers settle their disputes among themsélyes, The wax being over, they will have plenty of time for the settlement of their account ‘The House bill, reducing the Maj. Generalsof the army to three, &c., was so modified ag to retain all six till the 4th March next; and farther, to allow to all the officers and men, honorably discharged, &c., three months’ extra pay. The bill waa then sent back to the House for their concurrence. According to this decision, it the House should concur, the three particular Major Generals to be retained trom and after the ath ot March next will depend Prenty much upon who is electe President If Gen. Case is elected, Gen. Scott will perhaps have to go; if Gen. Taylor is elected Gen, Scott, we suppose, will stand at the head of the service. In either case, we suppose, General Pillow will be over-ruled. Mr. Bright asked that, by common consent, the vote on ae Oregon bill would be taken on week. ir.
