l conduct this contest on the recognized principles of civilized warfare. There is a duty, however, which the Government owes to the people, the stern performance of which public sentiment will demand, and which the letter of President Davis to Lincoln assures us will be fulfilled. Our own observance of the usages of war must be based upon that of the enemy. Their prisoners in our hands must be treated as they treat ours; an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life.--For this pemand, and which the letter of President Davis to Lincoln assures us will be fulfilled. Our own observance of the usages of war must be based upon that of the enemy. Their prisoners in our hands must be treated as they treat ours; an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life.--For this purpose, prisoners should be so closely guarded as to afford no possible chance of escape. We have now a good supply on hand, Let Mr. Lincoln begin his work of barbarism whenever it pleases him.

What, then, must be its effect upon a race as heroic as ever lived in all the tide of time? Nor need they misconstrue the calm contempt of the South for the foolish boastings of their vulgar Congressmen, and its forbearance to prisoners as the result of fear or a desire to propitiate them. The answer of the South to their brutal slang is in her sword — such an answer as they received at Bethel Church, at Bull's Hun, and at Manassas. Let them multiply their forces. We shall have as many men in the field as themselves, and that will be twice as many as we shall need. Let them go on with their threats to hang Jeff. Davis and his Cabinet. When they begin their hanging game on the humblest son of the South that breathes, the best life they have shall pay for it, and if Lincoln and his Cabinet are not swung from one scaffold, it will be because they have concluded to conduct the war with humanity, or have escaped from Washington in Scotch caps, long cloaks, and fast midnight trains.

The prisoners. It is of course certain that every man of the prisoners, now here, especially the officers, will be held as guarantees of the proper treatment of our own men in Lincoln's hands. Sympathy with wretches who came here with the avowed purpose of rape and plunder, would be false to humanity them and hear ness to our own people.

t. Mr. Johnson, of Tennessee, introduced a bill making an appropriation to pay the expenses of transporting and delivering arms and munitions or war to the loyal citizens of the States now in rebellion against the Government of the United States, and to provide for the expense of organizing them into companies, battalions, and regiments, or otherwise, for their own protection against domestic violence, insurrection, invasion, or rebellion; which was read, referred to the Committee on Military Affairs, and ordered to be printed. The Senate resumed the consideration of the Senate joint resolution to approve and confirm certain acts of the President of the United States for suppressing insurrection and rebellion. Mr. Latham; of California, made a long speech, heartily endorsing Lincoln's acts. --Johnson, of Tennessee, was to have addressed the Senate on Monday on the same side, but the battle of Stone Bridge having mean while occurred, the programme was perhaps changed.
