ingled goblet of blood and subjugation. The utter degradation of those whom they represent as the aristocrats will be milk and honey to their souls. It matters not that in no land under Heaven is there as much real republicanism as in the Confederate States. Our enemies are enraged by that decree of Providence which has assigned to the Southern people such a goodly heritage; they feel the malign influences which steal over ignoble natures when they come in contact with superior manhood. Whatwere they disposed to be tolerant and merciful, the necessities of their position would present difficulties which it would be impossible to surmount. Our own debt, State and Confederate, would be wholly repudiated. The enormous debt of the United States, three thousand millions of dollars,--owed by the Northern people — owed to them — whose pockets will that come out of? A contemporary, the Confederate, supposes this case: Two candidates in Yankee States present themselves for popular suffr

The following joint resolution, which over under the rules, was offered by Mr. Keen: "Resolved by the General Assembly, That our Senators are hereby instructed, and our members of Congress requested, to advance the passage of a law providing for the payment of at least two months salaries of the soldiers of the army in gold or silver coin, and a general amnesty bill for all absentees or deserters from the army of the Confederate States." The Senate, on motion of Mr. Hunter, went into secret session. House of Delegates. The House met at 12 M. Mr. Bouldin, from the committee, reported a bill to provide fuel for sick and wounded Virginia soldiers in Chimborazo Hospital, which was read the first time and ordered to be read a second time. Mr. Buford, from the Committee on Banks, introduced a bill to provide for the redemption or registry by the banks of Virginia of their outstanding circulation.

eat celerity over the surface, reached from house to house on both sides of the way, and ran in burning streams into the cellars. This is what caused such an immense destruction of houses. Miscellaneous. Henry S. Foote, ex-member of the Confederate Congress, who recently arrived in Washington, reached New York city on Tuesday night, in charge of an officer of General Sheridan's army, and applied for a room at the Astor House; failing to obtain which, he sought an interview with United States Detective Colonel Bakes, but was unsuccessful in obtaining one, and was at once removed to Fort Warren. His refusal to take the oath of allegiance is understood to be the cause of his imprisonment. The Cincinnati Gazette's Nashville correspondent says that two corps of Hood's army — Cheatham's and Lee's — had been sent to South-Carolina. Eighty-seven Confederate cavalrymen, charged with being guerrillas, passed through Boston on Tuesday for Fort Warren. They were handcuffed i

ngton dispatches that General Sherman was expected to reach Branchville, South Carolina, on the 6th instant. A correspondent at Key West informs us that the wreckers have set fire to and totally burned all that portion above water of the United States steamer San Jacinto, wrecked a short time ago on No-Name Key, Bahamas. They afterwards attacked the shipwrecked officers and crew, but were stoutly resisted.--Though a number of shots were exchanged, no one was reported as injured. Two more English blockade-runners, the schooners Augusta and Fanny McRae, captured by the United States steamer Honeysuckle and schooner Fox, had arrived at Key West. The Baltimore American of Friday evening says: The notorious rebel guerrilla, Marry Gilmor, who arrived here at a late hour on Wednesday night, yesterday left here for Fort Warren, in charge of Major Young and three Federal scouts in rebels clothes. Captain Wiegel learned that Gilmor's life was endangered at the Relay House, when he

Your inference from this condition of things is that this Government must apply itself with the greatest possible e conviction that the war is conducted with all the energy and skill which any administration of the Government of the United States, in their circumstances, could command. "The conflict is indeed a great one, and the ideas and interests which s the Mexican Republic. All these motives and sentiments resolve themselves into a jealousy of the advancement of the United States. Their great prosperity and progress have necessarily provoked this political antagonism. You very justly lament th

of the apparent overthrow of their influence in Mexico, but it is the same kindness of faction which led us into the civil war. Only time and events can cure it, and these we may well believe are doing their work. "No appeal to the reason or to the patriotism of the insurgents is heard so long as they entertain hopes of success in the desperate enterprise. The loyal people of the United States seem to have no need for new or increased devotion to the national cause. At all events, considerations of foreign and remote dangers can scarcely be expected to gain serious attention when the immediate domestic perils of the conflict absorb the popular mind. I know no other way for us than to contemplate the situation calmly, do our whole duty faithfully, meet every emergency as it rises with prudence, firmness, and force if necessary, and trust in God for a safe issue of the contest. "I am, your obedient servant, "William H. Seward."

Confederate States district Court. Before Judge Halyburton, on Saturday, the case of G. A. Wallace, suing, under a writ of habeas corpus for discharge from military service, was argued at length by counsel, Messrs. William F. Watson and J. Randolph Tucker. The petitioner was formerly a captain in the Confederate service, but resigned and purchased the proprietorship of a German newspaper in this city, upon which ownership he bases his right of exemption.

Mayor's Court. --On Saturday, the following cases were disposed of by the Mayor: Catherine Collins, a white woman, charged with receiving twenty-nine Colt's pistols, the property of the Confederate States, knowing them to have been stolen, was remanded for examination before the Hustings Court. The continued case of Peter V. Mervin and Hampton Allen, charged with committing a rape upon the person of Mrs. Henrietta Vance, was taken up and disposed of. Mrs. Vance's evidence was to the effect that Allen, with whom she was acquainted, came to her house on the evening of the occurrence in company with Mervin, whom she did not know; that Mervin seized her and threw her upon the stairs, and there committed the outrage upon her person, holding his hand over her mouth in order to silence her cries.--Dr. Thomas Pollard testified that, upon an examination of the person of the plaintiff, he found her very much bruised, and had evident marks of having been the victim, by force of vi

Fatal mistake. --The death of Miss Ellen Shields, published in our columns on Saturday last, was caused, we learn, by drinking poison in mistake for medicine prescribed for her by a physician. She had prepared a mixture of sulphur, which was sitting in close proximity to some arsenic, the latter of which she swallowed through mistake. Miss Shields was an employee at the Confederate States Laboratory, and it was there that the unfortunate accident took place.

Now, therefore, I, Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America, do issue this my proclamation, appointing Friday, the 10th day of March next, as a day of public fasting, humiliation and prayer, (with thanksgiving,) for "invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God;" and I do earnestly invite afasting, humiliation and prayer, (with thanksgiving,) for "invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God;" and I do earnestly invite all soldiers and citizens to observe the same in a spirit of reverence, penitence and prayer.
