The amendment was advocated by Messrs. Isbell, Coghill, August and others, and opposed by Messrs. Johnson, Thomas of Fairfax, and others, in opposition. The object of the opponents of the amendment being not to clog the question of the appointment of Commissioners, and the invitation to other States, with any instructions, while those who advocated the measure were in favor of instructing their agents in regard to the basis of adjustment. During the progress of the discussion, Mr. Christian proposed a substitute to the amendment of Mr. Coghill, as follows: Resolved. That, in the opinion of the General Assembly, the propositions embraced in the resolutions presented in the Senate of the United States by the Hon. Jno. J. Crittenden, so modified that all territory south of the line of 36 30, or hereafter to be acquired, slavery of the African race is hereby recognized as existing, and shall not be interfered with by Congress, but shall be protected as property by all the

. Let our grand armies march. Let the soldiers burn wheat fields and houses. Let them depopulate villages and cities. Let rapine go hand in hand with its twin brother, slaughter. Give freedom to negroes and death to white men!" Does any Republican object to this description of what he desires? Let him ask himself if he has not desired all these things. If he has not, he does not live up to the bloody spirit of his party; but if he has, let him ask himself if it is patriotic, or Christian, or manly. By slow and unwilling reports, the public are made aware of the fact that our soldiers have been guilty of revolting acts of vandalism — acts which the commanding Generals have deeply regretted in their official reports — acts against which several of them have issued military orders. A Northern soldier having in charge a rebel, and finding it a little difficult to bring him into quarters, runs him through with his bayonet. What bloody article of war authorizes such a deed of

e than that of the mob urged on by unprincipled demagogues. The world loves scandal, and these demagogues, with one hand in the public treasury, are gathering their "slut" with the other from an honest but deluded people. The official, whether civil or military, who would conduct a campaign according to the dictation of stump orators, partisan editors, or county meetings, is either a coward or a scoundrel. It will be in vain to attempt to revive the "reign of terror" in the South. Her Christian, moral, and conservative people, have selected their rulers, confide in those rulers, confide in those rulers, and will not harass them, and paralyze their action by impertinent interference or silly dictation. The people! what have the people to do with the conduct of the war, now that they have delegated its conduct to others, except to obey orders? Shall we hold county and corporation meetings, instruct our Generals in the strategy of war, and advise them what movements to make?

eard vague rumors for several days that New Orleans had been occupied by the Federal troops. Intelligence was received in this city last evening, by way of Nashville, which leads us to believe that the rumor has its foundation in fact. One report, in which we place confidence, says that the Federal forces took possession of the city on the 5th inst., without firing a gun. It is said that the fleet, after the desertion of Ship Island by the rebels, passed Mississippi city, Biloxi, and Pas Christian, which were evacuated, and made an easy conquest of the city. It was found that the incomplete fortifications at Bay St. Louis had been abandoned by the rebels, and, the city surrendered on the 5th inst., in compliance with the formal demand of the commander of the Federal forces. The above statement is the substance of a dispatch said to have been published in the Nashville papers of the 6th inst.--Louisville Journal. The Journal is rather fast. It will be dumb founded when it h

Gen. Fremont. --Nothing is more pleasing to a generous mind than to make amends for an set of injustice. It has been intimated in this paper that Gen. Fremont was deficient in the cardinal quality of a soldier — courage Events have proved that this was an unfounded imputation. We observe with pleasure, since it appeared, that Gen. Fremont has challenged a member of a church. Nothing could be more heroical and chivalries no act could give us clearer comprehension of Gen. Fremont than this act. With such a field as Missouri affords of locking horns with acknowledged fighting men. Gen. Fremont es into the first "Christian" he can find, and backs him out quicker an lightning. It was a wonderful feat, and one which cavaliers of the Fremont order especially glory in. He need not lament now that Lincoln has recalled him to Washington. He has performed a deed which will give him a place in history, and prove that he is a worthy son of an illustrious sire.
