KF.DhCAVION OF TllE ARMY. The bouse then procevdcd again to the consideration of the resolution offered by Mr. Williams, of N. C. to reduce the ar my of the U. Stale-. Mr. J.S. Sinrthof N.C. moved to amend the resolution by adding thereto the fol lowing: Resolved, That the act or arts of ct>n- grcss autrmrizing the appointment of two major generals be repealed, and that th. office of major general, i'i tiiemilitaivp-.icc .-.rt iblishment of the If. States, be ilispen set! with. Resolved, That th- residue rlthastniF the army of the United Slates be reduced to flue,half of the present number of »!li cers, or as ne/riy so as the nature of th case will admit of. The amendment was accepted by Mr Williams as a part of thin-motion. Mr.Simkim topk the fioer in opposition to the resolutions, .and -spoke neerl.y an hour against the reducing the army Mr. Sawyer spoke a short time in favor of the resolutions. Mr. Storrs opposed the resolutions, anti replied at some 0 .gth to the advocates of the proposition. Mr. Livermore spoke briefly, in favor of reducing the army. Mr. Johnson, of Ky. opposed it, and spoke a shoit time-in answer to those who advocated the redaction. Mr. Holmes, after 6tating that there were but fifteeu days remaining of tlie session, in which the house could nut, wit! due attention to the necessary measures now before it, investigate ami act on this subject with the deliberation and under standing which its importance demanded and that it would be better tndifler tl>c tie cisior. of the question to the nest sessiot tram «k it Ihe Editors of tflts paper c*iu!d hav h’liveJ tnat their rvlussl t6 publish the follewiag article,wljich has b*e:t furnish- i<t to(h-m ftimi* highly respectable source would hav'et ffected it# suppression, it is probable that they would fiove r»fu«nl liitir aid in gi*in* notoriety to the-circuin stunccs of a Burl. But. because th< transaction his been miratid-rstaud, and Ibis account w ill certainly, through some medium, be prcSCMcd to the public if not through thia-—the Editots have determin ed to publish it. They have -ubdued their reluctaace withtiti less il fticutty*. because they are permaUed no man can read the nsrraiive without being improv ed with horror, of a deeper and a deeper cast, at a practice, which nearly all men of humane fceliogs reprobate, but many are ted uced into in defiance of-their judg ment. coxuc-utatso roa reaesranoe. Reports b-ing in circulat.oo calculated to induce a belief tliat the gei.tli-meicwho ,were the friends of general A- T. Mason,- in the Fital terminatiomef oi« quarrel with Mr. McCarty, had been instrumental in urging the affair to its unfortunate M-ue —it is thought proper to publish a simple statement of facts: pretnissing, that not even tbe nearest relatives of the (ieceast-U can more ainccrely regret, than do thuse gentlemen, the determination of general Mason to prosecute this 'business to its ultimate result. 1. It is well known to anumber of gen eral Mason’s friends, that lie had resolved on challenging Mr. McCarty, in opposi tion to all the advice which They .gave,and all the efloru which thry made tu dissuade him. 2.
