On motion of Mr. Saxman, (rep.) of Ohio, the joint re- “solution on the secret sessions Of either house was taken ~“. ‘Mr. Suenaay offered the following as a substitute for ‘the first section:— During the-present rebellion, if any member of the Senate or House of Representatives shall arise in his place and state ‘that the President desires immediate action on any mater er suppression of the rebellion, the galleries be cleared, aud the member state the action de- aired, and his reasons for such, and the House hall then determine, without debate, whether to procced to the consideration of the subject.

Mr. ‘Sherman's amevdment was moditied so as tostrike out the ciause requirmg the fina! vote to be taken before the adjournment of the secret session. Mr. Somygn, (rep.) of Mass. , had some doubt abont any restriction of the debate to five minutes for eacl ir. Hans thovght that sf anything was required, it was ‘thin vory restriction. As (ar as he (Mr. Hale)’ knew, executive sessions were net favorable to short debate. He recollected one member who occupied the floor three weeks, and the columns of the National Inieiligencer were filied With the report or the speech which took three ‘weeks tw deliver. ‘Mr. Sherman's amendment was adopted.

Fessuxpes, (rep.) of Me., said there was a great tend to increase the officers and their rank fm the army, when there was really no necessity. for it. Ho objected to that portion of the bill making a large incroase in this respect. fie hoped the chairman of ‘the Committee on Military Affairs would set his face against it. Mr. Wisow believed that the officers provided for in ‘this bill wore uecessary. Perhaps on careful exami- Rutions, however, we might not neod to increase the nan ber of osiicers. Mr. Sngnwax moved ag an amendment, that if sutler Fiolate the rules of sale, he be dismissed. This cmeudment was agreed 10, and th» bill passed. THE CASE OF SENATOR BRIOHT. ‘The case of Mr. Bright was then takes up. Mr. Samianvuy, (opp.) of Del., proceeded to speak at Jengih upon the subject. Ho said:—When the people are mad, their representatives are seldom wise. Reason, jus- tice and common seuse bas well nigh fled tho ‘and. ' The Seuator {rom Massachusetts (Mr. Sumner) had assaied the Senator from Indiana, and the names of Cataline and Arvold soemed less hateful now because they hat re- ceived his (Sumner’s) censure, and thoir future fame would shine mere had not received his praise. such an example of of his peers towards Indiana. ‘Be (Mr. Saulsbury) contended that the real issue was whether the letter written to Davis was calculated to give aid and comfort toa public enemy. He claimed that the lotier was simply # common letter of introduction. No injury to the government was intended, nor could it ibiy reauit from such a letter. The address of the ter was ainere matter of form, and by no possible ar- gumext could it be courtituted w matter of offence. He contended that the second letter, written in September to Mr. Fitch by Mr. Bright, was no part of the record in this case. If he (Mr. Saulsbury) interpreted the language Of that letior correctly , he could say—though his speech whould subject him to ‘the tender mercies of who bad neither the justice nor heey od to judge bina (Mr. Bauisbury) correctly and to the imputation of a want of patric tiam—that the Sonatur from Indiana, and ten thou- gand with him, stand proudly on it to-day. The Senator from Indiana was oppoted to a principle, and boleived, as he (Mr. Sauisbury) believed, that compromise was bet- ter than coercion. The government, not heeding the voice of a majority had not distinguished between the charactor of a mob and deep seated discontent and revolution. Men lad been hounded and persecuted by a venal press, which dare not utter a noble thought for fear of the modern cormorants who devour the substance of the Beer's, and destroy the credit of the government. Men ¢ becn imprisoned, without chargo or hearing, in American bastiles, more loathsoune than in the disgraced, Darbarovs days of Spein. But while he hada seat on this Boor ps Senator from @ jyai State, notwithstand- ing the caiuruny of Mr. Cameron that that State was once ou the point of revolt, he would act as boo: mes »n Ameri- can Senator, whether detraction or the bastil: be lis fa He referred to the instructions of the *ecretery of *t to the foreign minster in April last, essuming that there ‘was no war.

When Mr. had examined the record through, though uot fully, bat as far as bis den’s) recoli¢etion went, there were no y' taken on the votes, Mr. Brion said that as the Senat Fessenden) had risen, though he was ment and he had no upon him, (Mr. Bright) was accidentally on tee, of which he (Mr. '» ask him (Mr. Fessenden) what had been’ his (Mr. Bright’s) course in the Committee on Finance in refe- Fence to all the mongyed measures of the government. Mr. Fessexpes—I will say that, according to my recol- lection of what tas been done in the ittee on Finance, when all these measures were considered and when the Sevawor from Indiana (Mr. Bright) was pre- sent, and believe that he has been pretty constant in his attendance, that they have received no opposition from Aim (Mr. Bright), but have had his fullest concurrence. Mr, BaiGur said that he had asked the queston, not be- cause the Senator from Kentucky had any right to cate- chise him (Mr. Bright), but to relieve the Senator from Kentucky of agreat deal of trouble, who seemed to be burrowing about in his course. Mr. Davis said that in what he said about carrying the war into Africa ho meant no threat. if the Senator from Ingiana had any explanation to make he (Mr. Davis) was willing to hear it. Mr. Bricet—I have no explanation to make. J mean peace, and desire peace. Mr. Davis said that he was @ peace man also, and meant no threais, He referred again to Mr. Bright's votes and action in the Senate. The Senator from Indiana made one remark in bad taste when he said, ‘(I know you.” What did he mean? Did the gentleman mean to convey & menace against me? Did he threaten me? Mr. Brica?.—I am not conscious of baying uttered any threat against the gentleman from Kentweky. I baveno idea, from what I know of him, that he would be de- terred from doing his duty by any throat, I do not know whether he thinks I would be, ornot. He can make the experiment, ‘Mr. Davis said that he was on peaceful rolations with every Senaior. Mr. Brrcnr.—So am I. Mr. Davis continued, and contended that, taking the votes.of the Senator from Indiana (Mr. Bright) and his courso and action on the resolution for taxation, it was sufiicient ground for bis (Mr. Bright’s) expulsion. After au executive session the Senate adjourned, House of Representatives. ‘Wasicrox, Jan. 29, 1862. PASSAGE OF THE EXECUTIVB, LEGISLATIVE AND JUDICIAL APPROPRIATION BILL, ‘The House passed the Legis‘gtive, Executive and Judi- cial Appropriation bill. Among the provisions of the bill ave the following, ramely That nothing in this act shall prevent hereafter 4 reduction of salaries, and that mile. age now due by law shall be prid as soon as certifiod by the presiding ollicer of each house; but there shall be ro construction for mileage beyond what is allowed by existing law—viz, mileage for each regular session on!y. The bill makes appropriation merely for objects autho- rized by existing statutes. PURCHASE OF COTTON SEED. Mr. Lovnror, (rep.) of Dl., fuom Committee on Agricul- tare, reported a bill appropriating three thousand dollars, to be expended under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior, for the purchase of upland cotton seed for general distribution through the Patent Office.

PAY OF FIBLD OFFICERS OF VOLUNTEERS. ‘The Honse passed the bill providing in all cases that where a volunteer regiment has been or shall be raised to the minimum standard, the colonei and other field oM- cers, who shal! have been commissioned as such, shall ‘be entitled to receive the pay and allowances established by law for their respective grades from tl t ‘the; were severally authorized, in writit Secretary of War or Governor of t fLe) regiment; provided, howe such pay date back more than to three mouths prior to nt being raised to the minimum standard. such re ‘The provisions of the bill are also to apply to captains, excepting their pay shall extend back only two months, POSSESSION OF RAILROADS AND TELRGRAPH LINES. Mr, Brare, (rep.) of Mo., urged the passage of the Senate bill authorizing the President in certain cases to take possession of railroads and telegraph lines, when in his judgment the public safety may require it, dir, Bru explained that the simple object of the bill was to regulate and limit the power already possessed. Mr. Wiccuve, (Union) of Ky., inquired whether the geutleman (Mr, Blair) maintained that civilians could be forced into the military eervice against their will? Mr. Pram replied—if civilians do not wish to be placed under military law br could escape by resigning their positions on the rai Mr. VAILANDIGHAM, (opp.) of Ohio, osked whether, un- atleman (Mr. retary of the Navy lo take possession of ehips and other private pro- perty? 7 M?.

Mr. Buaim—Ideny the proposition. The government has the power to take private property for public nse. Mr. Ricvanreon, (opps) of Il, cbjected to that part of the bill wh'ch proposed to place'private employes under the articks of war. Mr, Bram farther explained that the bil does not come pel the taking posseseion of railroads and telegraphs. The power wag to be exercised only in c of military ne be compelled to make a drait and soldiers.

He believed that the goverument had reached a crisis in its history, and that we had approach- ec & period in Jegisiation when we are to determino the question of its cmtinuance. By wisdom we may over- e'me the evils of eecessien. By the exercise of onr great Dower aud resources we 1oay be able to conquer, but the government cannot maintain liself by the accumulated and manifold dangers which follow in the wake of an un- found and illega! government currency.

Bat he (Mr. 1) went further, and denied the power of the federatgovernment to isgue any such notes as this biM contemplated, whether as a legal tender or not. The bill was here laid aside, and the Army bill was taken up. THR ARMY BAL. Mr. Grier, (rep.) of Ohio, said it was useless to at- tempt to disguive a fact now almost everywhere recog nized, that we must have a more active and practical war policy in Congress, in the Cabinot, but more espe- cially in the fleld,or we might prepare for a foreign and domestic war of several years’ duration. ing ae at present with our military campaign, it would be no strange thing to have the ‘Southern confederacy” ac knowiedged by foreign » and our government would then stand before the civilized world bumiliated ‘and disgrace), Our army had long been ready, and our soldiers wore burning with @ desire to strike at the trajtors and panting for the battlefield. We had earnestly cast about fora bold and daring leader ready for the reat contest, and it was painful to confess, at this late y, that the country had looked in wain for a com- mander-in-chief, exhibiting the will and tbe requisite everncino an genius to lead our forces on to victory. e) what stood in the way of mecting the enem; ‘Was it the fear that somebody would be burt, or nf of our com. — of Ball ee e the minds —— r 6 more men and ‘ricknons during the last five months thea re should te one of the largest armies of gathered to re- main ‘atively idle, and become weak and demo- rafized by inactivity.

It had pi cisel, tongne and whip the enemy. The very men who must receive tho shock of battle were those whe complained mest of inactivity, He-said that if the questicn were leit to them ten out of twelve would say there had been no necessity for the delay of the past four months. He re- vealed no secret when he stated that the great plan was to strike at all points. It was a simple impos bility Unt every arrangement was to be made in Miscouri, Kentucky and Virginia, so that as by 4 single elivk of the clock all would rush upon the enemy at once, and crush the rebellion ata single blow. Whatever our army accomplished must be as our troops in Kentucky had giortously done; not by a signal from Washington, but by striking boldly at the enemy where they might bo found, Why should the mae duet of the Union be idle when soldiers and civilians everywhere wero im- ploring foraction? East Tennessee bad asked for 100,000 mea for defenco against the rebe's. ‘The prayer had been answered by the announcement that no troops could be ared from the Army of the Potomac; yet there wore absent from that army a few days ago, and it was about the general aycrage, on business or pleasure, or other ob ts, now tion of the want of enterprise and daring ‘ea the part of the ¢ ntrollingmanagers of thearmy. He hail itf.omanthority, and it-could not be questioned, that some three weeks ago from ten to tifteen thousand Confederates in the weixh- berhood of Romney were virtually in the power of a di- vision of oxr army, numbering about 40,000. Gone-al Lander sent a messenger to General Kelly saying, in eub- stacce, “Join me,” and General Kelly, without the edge of such’ a messenger, sent oue of his own bearing a similar message. Meanwhile one of these generals telegraphed to General Faaks to advance on one side, white be advanced from the other; but unfortu- nately they telegrahed at the same time to headquarters in refereuce to what was going on, when an answer came in the form of an order ‘‘not to advance,” accompanied with a reprimand for even any suggestion of the kind, That a battle would bave sadly broken in upon soine great plan was quite probable. It might have finished the “great anaconda,” as the newspapers had expressed it. Hutit must not be forgotten that the mammoth reptile that was to draw within his fokls and crush the rebellin at a single sweep of his tail had already swal- lowed up ail our contemplated victories and gorged him- self with the eubstance of the people to no purpose. Tess than thirty days ago tried genoral sent forward thirty thousand cavalry against General Price, and was about to fo:low it up with ten thousand infantry, with every pros- pect of success, when an order came from a ‘superior officer” to halt! Was not this characteristic of the whole war. The battle of Fredericton, Missouri, and the recent battle in Kentucky, were both fought without orders from Washington. Give our West- ern Generais power to march against the enemy at will,and the war, so far as the Northwest is con- cerned, would close in ninety days with the possession of the Mississippi river to the Gulf. He referred to the biockade of the Potomac as a cause for shame, and inti- mated that the President was anxious that the war should be prosecnted with vigor. In conclusion, he said he saw a streak of light ahead, resting upon the chair of the new Secretary of War—a man who, if report spoke truly, was like brave Ben. Wyde, of Olio, a good combi- nation of Old Hickory aud Zach. Taylor, with a mind of his own, a brain to plan, and a mind to execute. That officer would be likely to push on the war with all the vigor that characterized the people in raising so vast and mighty aud army. SECRET SBSSIONS OF CONGRESS. Tho ecmmitiee rose, and the House took up the Senate joimt resolution providing for secret ses- sions on war questions, anid imposing penalties for dis- closing the proceedings of the sessions. Mr. Sruvens, (rep.) of Pa., moved the previous qucs-" jon. ‘Me. Vauzanpicnas said the point which was overruled was that the resolution involved a change of rules, and must therefore jie over one day. 7 Mr. Srevexs, in reply to @ question, said he had tl words of the Secretary of War that such resolution was necessary. The resolution was paesed. Adjourned. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Report of the Committee in Relation to the Appointment of a Solicitor of Cus- toms—Difference of Opinion in Regard the Same, &e.

Mr. Cowden thought that it was quite necessary a Solicitor of Cus- toms should bo appointed in this city, It was not his arpose to oppose the majority report just presented, but ¢ Wonjg offer a minority one.

The steamship Arabia, which sailed for Liver- pool to-day, took out $205,245 in specie on freight. The foreign exchanges closed weak, some large sales of bankers’ sterling having been made to-day at 113% a 113%. Gold was also lower, falling to 10324 at the first ‘board on sales of $76,000, and closing at 1052¢a 10314. The money market is otherwise unchanged, The Treasury Note bill now before Congress forms the absorbing topic of conversation in Wail street circles, and Mr. Stevens’ amendment, pro- viding for the payment of the interest on govern- ment stocks and notes in specie, meets with gene- ral approval. A despatch from Washington men- tions the probability of the passage of another amendment, limiting the legal tender clause to all debts hereafter contracted. The publication of the official report of the disaster to the Burnside expedition gave renewed confidence to operators to-day, and the stock mar- ket was firm in consequence, nearly all the leading railroad shares advancing from 2% a 2 per cent over yesterday's closing prices. Cleveland and Toledo continues to be the centre of attraction, and the upward movement in this stock gains strength every day. It opened this morning at 40, advanced to 4024 at the first board, and to 42 at the afternoon session, with registered sales of over 6,800 shares, closing at 421, bid, against 39 at the close yesterday. It is reported that the company has made a satisfactory settlement of its difficul- ties regarding the northern division of the road, and that its small floating debt is in a fair way of being funded upon very favorable terms. Michi- gan Central was also very firm, and, after rising gradually to 52% at the second board, closed in demand at 52%-—an advance for the day of per cent. Of the rest of the share list, Pacific Mail rose % er cent; New York Central, 4%; Erie, 54; do. pre- erred, 4; Hudson River, 4; Reading, 144; Michi- gan Southern, %4; do. guaranteed, %; Panama, %; Tilinois Centra!, 94, and Rock Island, %. Govern- ment 6’s of 1881 were 14 per cent lower, the regis- tered stock selling at 88%{ and the coupons at 89%. Railroad bonds continue steadily to improve. Hudson first mortgage rose to-day to 109, New York Central 7's, due in 1364, to 10124, and Cleve- land and Toledo sinking fund bonds to 83. The market closed firm, at about the following prices:—United States 6's, registered, 1881, 8848 %; do. 6's, coupon, 1881,89%4 a%; do. 5’s, coupon, 1874,79 a 80; Indiana 5's, — a 76; Virginia 6’s, 51; Tennessee 6's, 44%, a 45; North Carolina 6's, 61; 42a 4; Pacific Mail, 99 a 4; New York Central, 83°4 a Erie, 35 a 14; do. preferred, 5814 a 14; Hudson River, 38% a 39; Harlem, 12: %; do. preferred, 31a 34; Reading, 40% a 41%; Michigan Central, 627% a 53; Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana, 21% a 22; do. guaranteed, 4134 a %; Panaina, 113 a 113; Illinois Central, 61% 6214; Galena and Chicago, 67% a 68; Cleveland and Toledo, 42% a 14; Chicago and Rock Is- yand, 55)4 a %%; Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, 61% a 624; Milwaukee and Prairie du Chien, 21 a 22; Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati, 103 a 105; New York Central 7's, 1876, 10434; Erie third mort- gage bonds, 93 a 94; Michigan Central 8's, first mortgage, 99 a 100; Illinois Central bonds, 7's, 92% a 0%. The following was the business of the day at the office of the -Assistant Treasurer of the United States: — Total receipts. —For customs. scount of 8, including redecmne The earnings road for the third week in January were:— I9A8.....seeee 1se1 The receipts of the Obicago and Northwestern Raroad for the third week in January were follows: 2 New York is debtor to Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore, a state of affairs produced to a great extent by the liberality of this over the pro- vincial towns in relation to “demand notes,’’ which are generally honored here and-dishonored there, At the meeting of the directors of the Cleveland and Toledo Railroad Company, jnst held in this city, au agreement for the final settlement of the suits pending in the Supreme Court of Ohio against it, to compel it to maintain and run that portion ofthe northern division of the road west of San- dusky (which had been recently negotiated by the officers of the company), was approved. The terms of the adjustment provide for running a portion of its trains by way of Sandusky and Clyde, thus relieving the company from the ma‘ tenance of the road west of Sandusky, by way of Port Clinton. This arrangement harmonizes the interests of the towns on each division, and satis- fies local interests and feelings, and removes an incubus which hes hitherto been hanging over the company. The contract between Newport, Rhode Island, and the Newport and Fail River Railroad Company was signed on Thursday of last week, and the con- tractors were ordered to commence eperations at once, which was done on Friday morning, near the Seaconnet river. ‘The gross earnings of the Vermont and Massa- chusetts Railroad in the year ending November 30, 1861, were $200,643; expenses.and interest, $161,- 197; net earnings, $39,351. The earnings show 2 diminution of $54,177, and the expenses £31,180, as compared with 1860. The debt of the road is about $800,000, and it has earned during the year one and a quarter dollars per share over expenses, interest and sinking fund contribution. The Fremont and Indiana Railroad has lately changed hands, and its name -been altered to the Fremont, Lima and Union Railroad. There is some talk, now that the read has been sold, that it will soon be completed to Lima, the intersection with the Dayton and Michigan road. The Secretary of the Treasury has addressed a note to Collector Barney, of New York, respecting the liability of duty, under the act of December 24, of certain teas imported from Canton -on board the bark Penguin, by A. A. Low & Co. The Secretary holds that the act of August 5 pro- vides that all merchandise in transit at the date of the passage of that act shall be subject to the duties that were in force at and previous to the time of the passage of the act, and that the act of December 24 does not alter this provision The question is now raised whether the act of Decem- ber 24, imposing a duty of twenty cents per pound, applies to teas on shipboard on the 5th of August, the date of the previous act. The Secretary hold’ that it doesnot, and that the merchandise in question is entitled to free entry, if the Collector is satisfied that it was actually on shipboard and bound to the United States, from the country of production, at or before the date of the passage of the act of August 5, 1861.
