-Feb. 1862 Is there anything more dreary and uninteresting than the Congressional Globe ? We are now weary of it, though we have heard none of the heavy guns of the Senate. There will be chances for them. I will only name some of the further more important war measures of this the first regular session, which I had left, in order to trace through the financial legislation to the end, as a more perspicuous way of dealing with the heavy and complex labors of this Congress.
We passed several acts ...to increase the navy ; large ap- propriations were also made for gunboats on the western rivers, the first amount being $1, 000, 000. In another act we authorized the construction of twenty steam ironclad gunboats for which $10, 000, 000 were to be paid.
A bill for the relief of the widows of the men killed by the destruction of the frigates Congress and Cumberland, sunk by the Merrimac, was passed, and a new general pension code was formulated. The important act to sup- press insurrection, punish treason, and confiscate the property of traitors, gave Congress much trouble in con- nection with the treason provisions.
