MOELL, OF MISSOURI. Mr, Noell, of Missouri, made a strong adminintration speech to-day in the House, advocating the most vigorous Measures to crush the rebellion. He epoke with much feeling of the treatment of loyal citizens in the border States, arguing that tenderness on the part of the govern- ‘ment to the rebels there was cruelty to the patriots. Mr. ‘Noell bas suffered great pecuniary losses and other hard- ships through the rebellion. While Mr. Noell was labor. ing to show that the anti-war party of to-day is identical with the Massachusetts anti-war party in 1812, Judge Thomas interrupted him and created something like a sensa:ion by declaring, with warmth, that the New Eng- land federalists were the most honcet and patriotic party that ever lived beneath the throne of God. THE LIBERATION OF STATE PRISONERS—EMANCIPA- TION, ETC. The motion of Mr. Lane, of Indiana, to postpone unti Monday ‘the coneideration of the bill to Hberate State Prisoners, is explained by the fact that the republican Senators were in caucus yesterday, and again to-day, upon party measures. ‘There is but little doubt that the effort of the radicals ig to shape military command s0 as to be in consistence with the policy of emancipation. Incidentally it is to b® determined whether the policy of arrests and imprison- ment shail be kept up, and how far the party shall com mit iteelf tothe President’s idea of making appropria, tions to aid the border States in the Measure of emancipa tion. Mr. Noell stated in the House tbasy that ten millions of dollars would enflice to buy the slaves of loyal men in Missouri, as the latter State is one of vast size, but thinly Populated, and ag it is surrounded on three sides by free States, slavery there in times like these holds its position by too frail a tenure. MILITARY GOVERNOR OF PLORIDA. ‘Bo-day a highly influential delegation of members of doth houses of Congres, with Vice President Hamlin at their head, waited on the President with a request, nu merously signed by the loyal men of Florida, asking for the appointment of Hon. Ei Thayor as Military Governor of that State, with authority to raise twenty thousand Joyal emigrants. They algo prerented to the President a paper signed by one buudred and thirty-four members of the Senate aud House, earnestly concurring io the request of the Joya! men of Florida, and a paper from Major Gene- ral Hunter, in command of the Department of the South, to the same effect. The committee were well satisfied with the interview. A NRW UNION CONGRESSMAN FROM VIRGINIA. Upon the urgent request of a number of prominent Union e'tizens of Berkshire, Jefferson, Frederick, Hamp- shire and Clark counties, in Virg'nia, Colonel Lamon, the Marshal of this District, and a native of thet section, has Applied to Governor Pierrepoat to order an clectien for jona! district, before the Ist day of January. It is claimed that the Union loving citizens of that Congres d/striet have not had a fair opportunity to manifest their loyalty, asthe country has becn or the most part ander the domimation of the rebels. They are anxious now to testify their loyalty in | the election of a member of Congress, and itis desirable that this shouid be done beforedfie time fixed in the Pre sident’s emancipation proclamation. as the regular Con gressional election in that State would not occur until Much anxiety has been manivested in reference in this election, and the hope has been exprossed that the Union Governor of Virginia would recognize the propriety Of ndbering to it. ARREST OF COLONEL KERRIGAN, MEMBER OF CON- @RESS FROM NEW YORK Try. Quite an excitement was occasioned at Willard’s this evening by the arrest of Colonel Kerrigan, member of Congress from New York. He was epeniy denonneing President Lincoln asa traitor. His remarks drew about him a crowd, many of whom shouted “ Kill him,” “Shoot him,” &e. He was finally walked off by a police- man to save him from the menaced riclence of the infu. Tinted bystanders.
