The Yankee Congress and the war — Nigger regiments--Confederate bonds at the North.

Mobile, December 23.
--A special dispatch to the Advertiser and Register, dated Murfreesboro', 22d, says late Northern papers state that a bill has been introduced into the Yankee Congress authorizing the organization of one hundred regiments of ‘"contraband,"’ to serve for seven years! It also establishes a line of steamers between New York and Liberia, and appropriates the proceeds of confiscated rebel property for these purposes.

The New York Times says parties in the North are eagerly purchasing Confederate bonds at 50 cents on a dollar, and that private paper of wealthy Southerners sells readily at par.
