instant: The Yankee Enrollment bill in Congress. The refusal of the House to make the Enrollment bill, reported from the Military Committee Monday, the order of the day until disposed of is an indication that it is not likely to be soon passed. It will be considerably altered from the shape in which it came from the Senate, and two or three weeks at least, if not even more time, will be required to harmonize the two bodies and perfect the bill. The substitute reported by Representative Schenck, from the Military Committee, for the Senate bill amendatory of the Enrollment act, makes the quota proportionate to the number subject to the draft, with allowances for enlistments in the naval service of such as are liable to draft, and provides for further drafts if the quotas shall not be filled by the first. It allows as substitutes persons not liable to draft at the time or in the military or naval service. Additions to existing enrollments shall be made of those omitted befo

Only sixteen of the party voted against it. Last Monday Mr. Schenck, of Ohio, presented resolutions: "That the present war against the armed insurgents, banded under the name of the Southern Confederacy, was brought on by a wicked and wholly inexcusable rebellion, and all those engaged in, or aiding and abetting it, have incurred the name of public enemies, and should be treated as such. "That in the struggle now going on for the safety of our country and free government there is no middle ground on which any good citizen or true patriot can sta

man who never was Governor of the State of Delaware by the voice of the people, but who was act over them by the force of the bayonet, because he issued a proclamation for the people to be obsequiously obedient to the orders of their master, General Schenck. If the soil of Maryland had been reddened with blood, as the Senator indicated it might have been, against whom would the dead account stand? Not against Governor Bradford or the citizens; but against him who sat enthroned at the other end of the avenue, and Major General Schenck and those associated with him. In regard to military interference in his own State, he quoted from a volume of three hundred pages of sworn testimony taken before a committee of the Delaware Legislature. The Governor says that he had no official in formation that troops would be sent into the State at the election of 1862; yet on the eve of the day of election every village of the State was filled with soldiery. They swarmed at every poll except

So Mr. H. was not expelled. The strategy was then changed, and it was moved by Mr. Schenck, (more appropriately Skunk,) of Ohio, that Mr. H. was "an unworthy member of this House, and is "hereby severely censured." We cannot but suppose that the gallant Harris took this terrible judgment as a compliment! It is evident that the is in the wrong place — he is too noble a man to herd with such animals as now compose the representative body of Yankeedom in the Federal Congress. He is as unworthy of association with them as would be an honest man with a band of robbers, or a gentle

[Third Dispatch.] Battle-Field, Spotsylv'a C. H. May 14,Via Guiney's Station, May 15. There was only slight infantry skirmishing to-day, with occasional discharges of artillery. Grant shows no signs of falling back.--Scouts report him to be receiving no reinforcements, though prisoners say he is expecting Schenck with troops from Baltimore and other points. It is believed that Grant had Heintzalman with troops from the fortifications at Washington, in the fight of Thursday. Johnson's division, in the fight of Thursday, lost about 2,000 prisoners and 16 pieces of artillery, principally from Page's and Cutashaw's battalions. Grafft's dead in our front are still unburied. The enemy have been busy all day shifting troops from point to point and manoeuvring generally. Brig. Gen D

Wm F Smith's and Schofield's appointment expired by constitutional limitation, and they were reappointed.--Horallo S Wright rejected by the Senate and since appointed, and is now in command of Sedgwick's corps. The resignations are, Cassins M Clay, Jas A Garfield, Schuyler Hamilton, Charles S Hamilton, E D Keyes, E D Morgan, Benjamin M Prentiss, and Robert M Schenck. Sixteen are dead. The "strikes" in New York continue to attract more or less attention. There is an ugly feeling manifested by the recently discharged employees of the Sixth and Eighth Avenue Railroad Companies, owing to the fact that other men have been found to take their places on the old terms. The latter have been threatened with violence, and it has been found necessary to keep on every car more or less policemen to prevent these menaces from being carried into practice. The

Mr. Cox--What did General Butler mean when he said he was removed from office because he would not sacrifice his men like other generals? Mr. Stevens--He never said any such thing. Mr. Cox--I will read what he did say. Mr. Ingersoll--I hope you will not read all of the address of General Butler. Mr. Schenck--I hope permission will be given, as my colleague so seldom addresses the House. Mr. Cox--My colleague ought not to complain, considering that he occupied the floor nearly all day yesterday.--[Laughter.] This is what General Butler says: "I have refused to order a useless sacrifice of the lives of these soldiers, and I am relieved from command." Mr. Cox--What does that mean? Mr. Stevens--I don't know, but I suppose he was relieved from command.--[Laughter.] Mr. Cox--Bu

d. That body took a recess of five minutes; and a letter says: The members generally then thronged around him, and he then came to the area in front of the Clerk's desk, escorted by Representative Odell. Here the members were formally introduced to him, the Speaker of the House performing the ceremony. There were frequent outbursts of applause from the floor and from the galleries, the occupants of the latter anxiously leaning over to get a good look at the honored soldier. Representative Schenck, in order that the Lieutenant-General might be officially introduced to the representatives of the people, moved that he be invited and escorted to the Speaker's stand. This was unanimously acquiesced in. General Grant was then invited by the Speaker to the stand, when the latter said: Gentlemen: I have the honor to introduce to you our heroic defender in the field, the Lieutenant-General of the Armies of the United States--U. S. Grant. The introduction was succeede
