January, 8 AD (search for this): article 1
Congressional Summary. In the Senate Monday, the amendment of the House to the bill excepting from the operation of the Fending act the ten year bonds and two year Treasury notes, heretofore issued, was concurred in. The amendment requires the two year notes to be funded prior to the 1st of August. The Senate disagreed to the House amendment to the bill reorganizing the clerical force of the Treasury Department. The House proposed to strike out the provisions of the bill requiring the Secretary of the Treasury, in the appointment of female clerks, to give the preference to the wives and daughters of soldiers, and to insert in lien thereof a clause authorizing the appointment of females whose labor is necessary to their support. After a long secret session, the Senate took up the resolution prescribing the seal of the Confederate States. The motto was altered so as to read, "Deo Vindice, " and the resolution was then adopted. In the House, the closing hereof the

The motto was altered so as to read, "Deo Vindice, " and the resolution was then adopted. In the House, the closing hereof the session are being given to the public business in secret session. Much of this business is of a character to require secret action, relating as it does to the conduct of the war and our relations with foreign powers. When the time arrives for its disclosure, the injection of secrecy will be removed. We understand that several important hills were yest

From Suffolk. Passengers by the Petersburg train last night report no change in the position of affairs at Suffolk. Our forces have as yet made no attach upon the town, though there has been sharp skirmishing in the vicinity. In a skirmish on Saturday afternoon, Captain Parke Poindexter, of the 14th Va. Regiment, formerly of this city, was severely wounded; but beyond this we have learned nothing of the engagement.

From Vicksburg. The latest papers that we have received from Jackson are of last Monday evening. They contain nothing of importance. The last news from Vicksburg is given by the correspondent of the Appeal, writing on the 19th inst. The following extracts are interesting: It is now reliably ascertained that the late movement of Gen. Grant was a feint, for the purpose of inducing the Confederates to reduce their forces here by sending the troops to points threatened with more imminent danger. I have it also from reliable authority that the reported arrival at Memphis of the greater part of Grant's army was all a ruse, got up for the same purpose of misleading and deceiving our authorities here. Instead of going to Memphis and on up the river, the troops were simply removed from the peninsula opposite Vicksburg to Milliken's bond, a distance of not more than twenty miles, and from above the reinforcements are on the way down instead of up the river.

Instead of going to Memphis and on up the river, the troops were simply removed from the peninsula opposite Vicksburg to Millikeny's movements, and the result proves that their suspicions were well founded. How this knowledge was obtained it is not purulent for me to state, but that none of Grant's army is more than twenty-five miles above Vicksburg is well established. The inference, therefore, is that his forces are now being concentrated and organized i

The officers at this point did wisely in preparing themselves with the means of securing the most accurate information of the enemy's movements, and the result proves that their suspicions were well founded.

rning, they have kept up a continues shelling at intervals up to the present writing. Commencing about nine o'clock. A. M., the firing is continued all day, sometime with great rapidity, and than again stacking off, and only a shot after a long interval. No damage has yet been done to the city, for the simple reason that the shots all fall short; but they must frighten the catfish mortally, as the shells all drop in the river. Their guns must be of heavy calibre, but not of sufficient range to reach the city from the present point. Some few have come into the city, but the greater portion. and particularly the heavy ones, fail into the river, sometimes not half-way across. The raids making by the enemy is North Mississippi, it is supposed, have two objects; first, to plunder and prevent planting, and, secondly, to produce alarm and tempt off troops from the army defending Vicksburg. The ruse, however, seems to be understood by our commanders, and will fall of its purpose.
Warrenton (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 3
of Vicksburg would have commenced. It is full believed here that the enemy intends to carry troops across the river below, and to make a demonstration up Big Black to circumvent Vicksburg. Their movements seem to indicate this, but still it is not definitely known whether this is their design, and we cannot rely with any degree of safety upon conjectures until we are sufficiently posted. But the supposition is, that the troops will be marched across the peninsula to a place opposite Warrenton, and the transports were being sent down to bring them over to this side, which may be probable, but still is not certainly known. Since the enemy opened on the city with guns from the battery inside of the leves, on the peninsula, on Friday morning, they have kept up a continues shelling at intervals up to the present writing. Commencing about nine o'clock. A. M., the firing is continued all day, sometime with great rapidity, and than again stacking off, and only a shot after a long
