ery ear-marks, he might easily fancy himself reading the speech for which Alexander Long has been censured in the House. Mr. Long and Mr. Henderson do not essentially differ. In our judgment, Mr. Henderson, everything considered, has made a more effective plea for the acknowledgment of the Southern Confederacy than Mr. Long has. The spirit, tendency, and fundamental principles of the two speeches are the same. The gentlemen agree so fully that we shall not be surprised if they are found supporting the same candidate for the Presidency. Indeed, Mr. Long concludes his speech by avowing that if "the war is to be still further prosecuted" he prefers "that it shall be done under the auspices of those who now conduct its management" The inference is that, between McClellan and Lincoln, Mr. Long will go with Mr. Henderson for Lincoln. We predicted upwards of a year ago that the peace men and the Abolitionists would ultimately act together in favor of the acknowledgment of the Souther

Charge of correspondence with the rebels — Yankee Quartermasters Recommended for the rebel service. In the Yankee Congress, on Tuesday, Mr Garfield, (Rep) of Ohio, said: In my response to my colleague (Mr Long) a few days since, I asserted that many leaders of the Democratic party in the North were in correspondence with the rebel leaders, and I promised to produce the letters to which I then referred. We found that some of our regiments in the Army of the Cumberland were being corrupted and induced to desert by politicians at home, and sent secret service North to find out who was doing it. One young man went to Indiana, and by representing himself as friendly to the rebels, obtained these lett

there has been some malicious shooting of Southern prisoners at Point Lookout by negro guards. But the same authority says that the matter is to be looked into — we suppose with "quiet vehemence:"a sort of Yankee energy spoken of by one of their letter writers recently. This investigation was to be made by the Provost of the Point, and if it was found that the shooting was malicious, the offenders were to be "punished;" if not, they were to be "reprimanded, " we suppose "severely," as was Mr. Long in the House of Representatives. At all events, it appears from this Yankee letter writer that we rebels were to learn from the measures taken towards these black murderers that the Federal Government does not mean to allow "excesses on defenceless prisoners," as in "the horrid affair at Fort Pillow." Decidedly not. Negroes and Yankees with arms in their hands at the Fort are as defenceless as are rebels in prison without arms; aye, and if not, how dare we rebels in insurrection to kill th

nnessee and fortified in rifle trenches. By twelve o'clock M. the pontoon bridges across the Tennessee and the Chickamauga were laid, and the remainder of Sherman's force crossed over, and at half-past 12 P. M. the whole of the northern extremity of Missionary Ridge to near the railroad tunnel was in Sherman's possession. During the night he fortified the position thus secured, making it equal, it not superior, in strength to that held by the enemy. By three o'clock of the same day Colonel Long, with his brigade of cavalry, of Thomas's army, crossed to the south side of the Tennessee and to the north of South Chickamauga creek, and made a raid on the enemy's lines of communication. He burned Tyner's Station, with many stores, cut the railroad at Cleveland captured nearly a hundred wagons and over two hundred prisoners. His own loss was small. Hooker carried out the part assigned him for this day equal to the most sanguine expectations. --With Geary's division, (Twelfth cor

o put his nose out for a breath of fresh air. This is by no means disagreeable to the pride and interests of Great Britain, which is reaping a golden harvest from her rigid "centrality." We observe from the reply of the British Administration to Mr. Long, M. P., that it does not feel disposed to endanger its thriving condition by any such nonsense as impartiality between the two belligerents. Mr. Long inquired "whether a ship belonging to the Confederate Navy would have the same right to searchMr. Long inquired "whether a ship belonging to the Confederate Navy would have the same right to search and make prize of an English vessel carrying contraband of war ton Federal port that a Federal war, vessel would exercise in the case of a ship carrying contraband of war to a Confederate port; and if not, whether such partiality in favor of one of two belligerent powers is reconcilable with the strict neutrality professed by her Majesty's Government." The very cute reply was that the Confederate cruisers had the same right as Federal cruisers, but that vessels thus captured must be taken into

unmistakable "chivalric" air, gets the floor. He is not an eloquent speaker, but he makes up in fluency and defiant boldness what he lacks in grace. His first sentence fixes everybody's attention. "I indorse every word the gentleman from Ohio, Mr. Long, has uttered, and will stand by and defend it for weal or woe" "Ab, ha! he's got one manly backer, at least," is the involuntary exclamation one hears on every side. Stepping out into the aisle, and moving defiantly down toward the Adminisw," says Mr. Wood, assuming, like Harris, the defiant role, "now, sir, I endorse every word of that. If you are going to expel him for it, you may as well expel me too." And he ephorates his desire to be made a martyrs. It isn't long, till the matter strikes him as being more serious, and he make occasion to change" mind. Some questions arising as to what Mr. Long did say, Mr. Colfax proposes to postpone the discussion till the Globe Appears with the official report. --Everybody agrees.

Horace Greeley Among the Democrats. --A correspondent at Washington, writing to the New York Herald, June 1st, says: Mr Greeley surrendered to day, horse, foot, and artillery, to the Democrats. Upon visiting the floor of the House, a few Republican members surrounded him, when suddenly Mr Brooks led him over to the Democratic side, and, in a most fraternal manner, commenced a upon one of the sofar. Shortly after, the Hon Fernando Wood introduced to him Mr Long, of Ohio, who took a seat with Mr Greeley on the left, while others sat down before him The party fraternized most significantly for nearly an hour, evidently in close consultation upon an important subject — it is rumor the Cleveland nominations. Finally the party dispersed in wonderfully good humor, to the apparent chagrin of Republicans generally.

befall the country if Lincoln's election should be made possible, and usual harmonious action, in order that the "sacred cause of the Union, Constitution, and Laws might prevail ever fanaticism and treason." Rev. Dr. Clarkson, of Chicago, offered up a prayer for the speedy return of peace and for the permanent happiness of the country. A committee of one from each delegation was appointed to report resolutions. A number of resolutions were read and referred, including one by Mr. Long, of Ohio for the appointment of a committee to proceed to Washington and request Mr. Lincoln to postpone the draft until the people should decide at the coming election in favor of war or peace by the election of candidates for the Presidency. The Convention adjourned until 10 o'clock to morrow.

dent, and the nomination was carried. Ex-Governor Bigler, on taking his seat, made what might be called in peace times a "Union" speech, saying a great deal about the North, South, East and West rallying under the Constitution, (what Constitution?) which is of no interest to our readers in the Confederacy. After the appointment of the proper committees, various resolutions were read and referred. Among them was one by Governor Hunt, of New York, for a convention of all the States; one by Mr. Long, of Ohio, asking Lincoln to suspend his draft for 500,000 men until after the Presidential election; one by Mr. Price, of Missouri, pledging all the (United) States to stand by each other if the "rights" of any one are trampled on by Lincoln; and the last one by Mr. Allicks, of Pennsylvania, re-affirming the Monroe doctrine!! The Convention then adjourned till the next day. A telegram from Chicago, in the New York Times, dated the 29th, says: As yet, little or no difference of opinion
