nt to dismiss officers of the Army, was tabled. The confiscation bill was passed by a vote of 30 to 48.--The House adjourned till Tuesday. In the Senate, the resolutions of the Legislature of Maryland, protesting against the usurpations of Lincoln, were read and ordered to be printed. A bill supplemental to that for the protection of commerce was passed; also, a bill to increase the engineer corps.--The motion to postpone the consideration of the bill to divide Kentucky into two judicial districts, led to the discussion of the loyalty of Judge Monsses to the United States. The Senate confirmed the following nominations sent in by Lincoln. Major Generals--McClellan, Fremont, Dix and Banks. The steamer Yankee is at the Navy-Yard, repairing damage occasioned by a shot in her engine room.

of three-fourths of the Southern people, when we state that the Confederate flag has not only failed to satisfy, but has greatly disappointed them. The idea of a committee having been occupied for weeks in composing or selecting from a hundred different specimens, a flag to be at once original and striking, finally rejecting all assistance from artists and others, who had furnished abundance of good material, and adopting, as the result of their labor, what?--the Union and three stripes of Lincoln's abolition flag. Mr. Russell, in one of his letters, has well styled it "the counterpart of the U. S. Flag," and so perfectly is it so, that in a calm at sea it is not distinguishable from it. But not only is it stolen from the U. S. Flag, it is also a theft of the coat of arms of another despotism — we mean the House of Austria, whose arms are red, with a white for running through the centre. Nor is this all. The U. S. Flag itself was directly stolen from the British East India Company,

The bogus Legislature. --This body, which has been in session at Wheeling, adjourned on the 26th ult., to re-assemble on the 6th of August. It appears that an adjournment was contemplated previous to the battle of Manassas, but Lincoln telegraphed the traitors to hold on — that an attack was about to be made upon the "Rebels"--and that a transfer of their body to Richmond would then be an easy matter — The bogus conclave "held on," but did not come to Richmond! A summary of the proceedings is appended, for the benefit of the curious: A stay law was enacted; a partial bill was passed, authorizing the Governor to organize a patrol in such counties as may need them, and about two hundred thousand dollars were appropriated for carrying on the Government. A similar sum was also appropriated for military purposes. On the last day of the session resolutions were adopted, pledging the members of the Legislature, in their individual capacity, to use all their efforts in effectin

the accounts which they give of the terrible fire and the awful slaughter must at once be discredited? Are they aware of the position in which they place, their army before the world when they tell us that a rout — the like of which the world never saw, except at Waterloo — was produced by the loss of one man in seventy of their whole force? Could it be possible to place the utter cowardice of troops and officers in a stronger light? If all this be true, can it be true likewise that President Lincoln and General Scott can for one moment believe that the Federal Capital is safe? If it be true, was there ever such a pack of unredeemed, unregenerate, God-forsaken cowards as the Grand Army that was to bear old Scott on its shoulders to Richmond? But it is not true. There are more than five hundred wounded men of the enemy, wounded in the battle of Sunday, now in this city. There are thousands at other points. There can be no doubt that thousands of others.--dead and wounded — <

stive, and the prospects on all sides for the coming winter are highly alarming. In the East Indian colonies such trouble is brewing that there can be no hope of any certain supply of cotton from that quarter, while all other sources are admitted to be utterly inadequate without the aid of your Southern product. You will perceive by the journals that the British forces in the Canada are to be still further augmented and the fleets in your waters doubted. Reports are current that President Lincoln's blockade is inefficient, and that much favoritism is shown. If this be so, prompt action on the part of this Government may be surely anticipated. The Paris correspondent of the same journal writes as follows: Throughout France trade is everywhere depressed, and our manufacturers are execrating the American civil war as heartily as do their friends at Manchester, in England, for very similar causes. In St. Edenne alone the population has diminished 7,197 souls since the

Carlile We learn that immediately after the battle at Manassas, the traitor Carlile fled from the Lincoln Capital, and made his way to the west to his home, now under the protection of the Federalists. He no doubt felt the balter lightening about his neck, as the news of the defeat at Manassas reached the Capital, and thought he would be safer for a time in some other place.

k Republicanism are in league against the Southern constitutional privilege, and are prosecuting the war with that ultimate design, the elements that have provided money and men for this Administration will evaporate like dew drops beneath a scorching sun. Let the people know, as they soon will know, that the spirit of Abolitionism stalks in the van of their armies, and the war is at an end. Money chests will be closed and swords will be sheathed with a sudden decisiveness that will leave Mr. Lincoln, like a political Selkirk, sublime in the extremity of his solitude. The North cannot be so utterly deficient in perceptive faculty as not to understand at first thought, if not instinctively, that to continue this war in the spirit of a crusade against slavery is to confirm the separation of the sections. It seems like listening to the ravings of an opium cater, to hear these dreamers talk of rebuilding the fabric of the Union with the very instruments that have accomplished its de

war it me. The Bangor (Me.) Democrat says: "At length the people are awakening to a sense of the dangers and calamities that threaten them. They begin to be aware that the prosecution of this frightful war must end in the destruction of their freedom. In its progress all the guarantees of liberty are trampled under foot. The iron heel of a military despotism is already on the necks of thousands of their fellow-countrymen" The Bridgeport (Conn.) Farmer says: "Before Lincoln undertakes to write another message on the Union being older than the States, he had better gather a few facts from some twelve-years old school boy. A more miserable lot of trash than the last Presidential message was never before published. It is a mass of absurd statements — statements which have not the least shadow of truth about them." The Portland (Me.) Argus says: Then the unprovoked burning of the village of Germantown, and other outrages committed by our troops. (tho

Sad Disappointment. The Legislature of the vagabond Carlile Government was in session in Wheeling at the time of the battle of Manassas. It was about to adjourn on the eve of that battle; but a message was received by it from Abraham Lincoln, urging it to remain in session a few days longer, in order that the whole Government might adjourn to Richmond and organize in the Capitol there! The Legislature postponed its day of adjournment, and awaited with delightful anticipations the news of that certain victory which was to give them the possession of a real Government House and Capitol, and a plenty of money to pay their grog and board bills and furnish them with new clothes in lieu of their dilapidated toggery. But in place of victory came defeat, and the poverty-stricken and disappointed counterfeit statesmen adjourned in disgust, and "dispersed to their respective homes," to reflect upon their treachery. We have this curious circumstance from good authority.
