nia. After some discussion, it was moved to recommit the bill to the Judiciary Committee with instructions to report a bill increasing the salaries of District Judges for a certain period. Mr. Baldwin, of Va., moved to amend the motion of Mr. Ewing, by instructing the committee to inquire whether all the judges of the District Courts have been confirmed by the action of the Senate according to the requirements of the Constitution. The Speaker, (Mr. Russell in the chair,) decided that subject under consideration. Mr. Baldwin appealed from the decision of the Chair, which he discussed at some length. On motion of Mr. Hilton the House laid the appeal upon the table. The question then recurred upon the motion of Mr. Ewing to recommit the bill with instructions, and on the vote being taken it was rejected. The resolution as reported from the committee was then placed upon its passage, when the yeas and nays were called, and resulted — yeas 34, nays 31.

. Rogers, commanding at Cape Girardnan, thinks the movements of the guerillas are intended to cover an attack upon some important point, and that McRae will probably make a demonstration on Patterson. An extract from the Washington correspondence of the Herald exhibits in the strongest light the bankrupt condition of the Yankee Government.--The expenses of the Government have been run up from two million per day; in 1862 and 1863, to four millions per day in 1864. A message from Capt. Ewing, at Bloomfield, says the guerillas destroyed the telegraph line near Charleston, and swore they intended to keep it down. A dispatch from Col. Rogers, dated Cape Girardeau, June 3, says: "The whole company of guerillas crossed the river and swamp, and were within eight miles of here last night. They have cut the telegraph line to New Madrid." The presence of these bands of guerillas is accounted for by the abandonment of Batesville and Jacksonport by the Union troops, which le

Missouri in consequence of the intelligence that General Price has entered that State with thirty thousand Confederate troops. A force of five thousand Confederate cavalry occupied Fredericktown, Missouri, on the 24th. A Telegram from St. Louis, date the 25th, says: St. Louis, September 25.--Joe Shelby's rebel cavalry are said to be four or five thousand strong, and occupied Fredericktown, twenty miles east of Pilot Knob, yesterday. Shelby's designs are not yet developed. General Ewing, commandant of the district of St. Louis, took a brigade of A. J. Smith's troops down last night, and otherwise prepared to meet the enemy. Pilot Knob is well fortified and garrisoned. Cape Girardeau, on the river, can stand a sledge; and the only damage the rebels can do is temporarily to cut the Iron Mountain railroad. When Price crossed the Arkansas river some days since, at least a part of his forces moved towards Batesville, evidently with the design of joining Shelby in Nort

Missouri to take up arms and defend their homes against "the rebel invaders." A telegram from St. Louis says: State officers and soldiers now discharged are appealed to, and those in the city requested to report to Colonel Laibold, who will combine them with his own troops, from brigade veterans, for the defence of the city. The entire State militia force will probably be called into the field. Pilot Knob has been evacuated, and the troops have fallen back to Mineral Point, where General Ewing has three thousand infantry of General Smith's command. General Price will soon unite with General Shelby. Their combined strength is from ten to twenty thousand men, with sixteen pieces of artillery.--Their advance reached Farmington, twenty miles northeast of Pilot Knob, yesterday.
