THE EXPENSES OF VOLUNTEERS. .The Union explains the course of the Secretary of War itn reference to de~a vol uteers'called. out. 'It says: "The act of the -I3th'Mav last,' author ~iing the abeeplance of v'olun'eers,tp.d vides thtat they. ishall be accepted by th'e President in qompaie, 1.Uaauions and Reginrfents'. Of courde, then, nothing less' than a cornpany can. be accepted undi'r the fair,:an'd noibdrg short of a co'mpany can be mastered into service, n'or ear, any ~allowances of any kind be made to vol unteers until after they are mnusteged into service, when'they are provided by go-vern ment with pay,suibsistence,quarters, arms, &c., and an allowance in money for one year's suppry of clothing in advance, which at 53 50 a month is $42; besides which, the law' allows to each volunteer, when called into service, 50 cents in lieu of subsistence, 'for every twenty miles travel from his home to the place of gen-. ei-l rendeavous, and from the place of discharge back-to his home. "The practice of tile department has' been 'in accdrdance with the llaw govern ibg volunlteor% aa'd it has' no discretion where the lawv id plain that "all who run may read." This practice has always obtained where volunteers have been called into service.

"But with volunteers they are accepted in orgatlized bodies, andcer requzi sitions upon the Governors of States, and, the master of a company in one case is about equail to the enlistment'of the ottier.

Correspoidence of the Charleston Courier. W AsI NoGTo, January 10. There is to be a rally to-morrow in the Ho'use, in favor of Mr. Rainbuaa's substi tute for the Army Bill, proviJing for vto tonteers instead of regulars. The subsu tute, though cairied in (ommittee of the Whole, was lost in the House by a major ity of one vote. A reeonsideratioe- will be moved, but will not, in my opinion suc ceed. There is a growing disposition in the House to sustain 'lhe Executive in all the measures reconme'aded for carry iug on the war. Recent inpllie pce from Mexico goes to strengthen that disposition. It. is now found that there is no prospect ofiecuring peace, on even an amicable ne gotistion, and thatlexico is resolved upoU a continuance of the war. Though the intelligence re eived last night of Santa Anna's advance towards Saltillo is not confirmed by official ae'cunls, yet it is creditted here. Congrerss must do one of two things-withdraw the troops and or rest the war, or furoish means for its vigor ons prosecutino.. The latter is the course determined upun. The next thing'to be considered i4, whether Congressshall take into their hands the management of the war or commit it to the Executive. The former conree is impracticable and absurd, ,and moreover, the President must, after all. under the Constituiion. carry into ex ecuciol the laws, whatever thqy may be. The President is responsible for carrying On the war, lie will be held todstrict.ac countfor the conduct of the war and its result, Therefore, it is argued that the President should be furnished with such means for prosecting rho war, as he, upon lis responsibility, and upon his full knowledge of the circumstances, as de rived from olfi'ers in command, may deem necessary. This argument will prevail. Tha bill to raise the ten thousand regular troops will, in my opinion, pass; and it will be followed soon b, a bill to author ize the appointment of a Licurenaut Gen eral. I repeat, that the House will agree to the lieutenant Generalship before the ses sion closes. The Hoose has been unde cided upon the question. The propoIitton wps yesterday carried, in 'ommittee of the While, by tellers. S3to 64. But after Mr. Rathburn's subsritute was adopted, the -propositions was twice rejected. The land bills are to come up iu the Seuate to morro i. January 11. The Senate appears to be t ound up lfor action. Its solemn silence will be son broken away, for nearly half the session Chas passed away am] we hve he;ird little .from-thient. They rntist soon "uumuz-le their wisdom." Mr. Allen ofiered a declaratory resole: tion to the effect that with a view to so. enreI aspeedy peace, an add itiounl zolun lee force is necessary ; that the war with Mexico be prosecuted with increased on ergy; that-the Pacific Domain be set aside aud-pledged to secure the payment of the principal and interest of. the. 1hlblic debt contracted on account of the war';_ and to proviide insighsfir; falmilies f hos an a amdrtteeg nonte ea Milii.ary Atliri'rsbe instrtirct to bringin bill itr conformity with these views. The resolution lies overand will- ulti nately lend to a great debate on all thesu stltjerrts. M .

New York and New Orleans Telegrajii. We have received from John 31. Leitch Esq., of New Y<.rk. the agent appointed to obtain sub-criptions. a pamplet, entitled "A Prospectus, showing the cost and cum parative revenue. of a Line of Telegraph, connecting New York Ci'y with New Or leans." It appears from this prospectus that it is the object of the company to establish a line of Telegraph fron Washington City, through 'etersbiira, Va., to New Orleans, by the way of Rl-ieigh, N. C., Camden, Charleston, Aiken, S. C., Augusta, West Point. Ga., Mtontgomeiy, Ala.. Pegsacola and Mouble. The Prospectus fiirnishes a very im iartial view of the estinale, cost and revenue of the proposed line, from which we extract the following items.. It is estimated that .the communicatboo. by Telegr aph, of ?50. 'wdrds per hour, at the ritte of $2 for every. 1.5 words, :*ould amount in-the course of 24 hofrsoe incot .of. 14 h" an:ex pense of $48;636'for hliroo a ssrs. clerks, boys, watchposts, c. ani 15.000 for wear and tepr of wire, posts. &c. in aking a torah andual expense of $G3.636.
