Confederacy' comments-as .follows upon- Bragg's appointment to the su 'preme command of the Rebel armies. . The remarks of the Richmond Enquirer upon the question of Gen. Bragg's appoint ment to a high place in the general Depart.; ment of War, are very just. ' Mr. Davis could not devise anymeasure which is so largely cal culated to weaken his own position in the public confidence, and derange the status of military affairs and opinions, than by creating General 'Bragg the practical commander of our armies. In the west such an appointment is almost; fatal. Aside from affiliating the President directly with all the unfortunate diriterbandes" which divided the Army of Ten nesse() so long as Gen. Bragg remained with It, the event perpetuates them and enlarges. their sphere. It will occasion in the public mind, and in the minds of the soldiers of the South, a deeper distrust in the directory at Richmond than' has hitherto existed. It will array a large and •"pbweirful class of officers against the, central bureau. " It will give rise not only to criticisms -the -most--emphatic, to diseon t!intslthe Most civell-giouhded, disappoint ments the most poignant, but may, in time, force into life a - spedies of combination for the sake of self-Preservittion,, which:we had hoped would never be.seen in the Southern camp. lii ,a .word, the .action of the President is "Soundless for ill, personally to 'himself and nationally to us as a people. All pure men will regret it;all patriotic men will deplore it, alisensible men will denounce it. • .OIXERAL THOMAS' ADY46.24CE ON'DALTO/i. A coitespondentof the same paper, writing from.

PRICE TWO CENTS. "Our. encamp now lies north of the orice,Pleasant town of Dalton. The country &messes not enough of elasticity—the forte- ante' charaater cdthe soil in Middle Tennessee -i-to.reanyer its own under the heavy burden of an array's presence. Therefore, everything in the way of agriculture is prostrate. The poorer class, , the only inhabitants remaining, seem inactive and depressed. Once in a while, the cake-woman or the pie -vender lan •giddlitradges her weary ,Way by' our picket post. This sadly reminds • me' of "my own country, where many a Rachel weeps and is. not comforted. The infernal process of taking food from famllies lest the Feder,als might get it, has stripped many of the very neces- Sarie.s'of life." “Among the subjects now dawning for dis cussion among the soldiers is the re-organiza tion of our army. That Congress will deny us that privilege is as clear to my mind as the looked for advent of the morrow's sun. And this denial may, as the presence of the great luirniry; .ha ,necessary to our existence as an army efficient to cote with a spring tide of advance. I know this, that it is a very tender subject, and one that at first appeals more strongly to our republican sympathies than to our sense of duty. At length, Lowever, after a cool and dispassionate review, I, as a soldier, cannot demand of our authorities a sacrifice to my political penchant which might engulf our struggling stars in the dark abyss of sabmission to the foe. All, I fear, will not .regard it in this light. Other considerations, that sound of home and rest, will go far to the spirit of discontent. Let but the shadow of an excuse fall athwart the paths of the depressed and they will embrace it with avidity. REMARKS HON.,J.OHN P. PENNEY, On resigning ad as Speakerof thaSauste, Nord: • 9, 1864.

I came here as the , Speaker of the body, duly eltcted and duly qualified; I called the Senate to order, according tothe custom and practice cf the Senate always. I . believed it to be any duty to act* as the'Speaker of the Senate in its organization; I believed it to be my duty when the Senate was organized to continue to act as its Speaker until my successor was elected. I adoptylthat opinion of my duty under the ob ligations of my oath without consultation with any ono, and I may say, In justification of my self, thati that opinion was not taken upon im pulse*, or upon any party viewof the circum stanc.s under which the Senate was about to meet. I have had no new views upon that question. I have always believed that, under . the Constitution, the Senate was a permanent organization, made so by the Constitution, and necessarily s for the permanency and perpe tuity of the- Government. When I took the oath of office, I assu med its responsibilities. Among those responsibilities was the contin gent one of filling the Executive chair, in the case, of a vacancy there. Coming into the Senate at the commence— ment cf this session, clothed by you with the authority to act as its Speaker, sworn to at ' charge those duties that the Constitution de volved upon me, I came here with the cleireit conviction, which has not been unsettled by anythieg that has transpired during the ses sion, and cannot be unsettled, that it was my duty to preside until the Senate by its choice elected come one to take my place. I believe that without that construction of the Constitu • lion, the provision that makes the Senate a permanent bady, with two-thirds of its memb ers always in office and qualified to act, would be but a farce, and that the mereamident that h#s occurred this session, for a time depriving one district of its representation and the consequent failure to choose a Speaker, might leave the State completely disorganized, without a Gov ernor, without a Senate, and without authority anywhere to fill any vacancy that might occur. Permit me to review the position of effiirs at the commencement of the present session. The national Government was still engaged in the fearful struggle wittrdtizeim and States that lAA drifted into rebellion, upon• the false idea that the Government had no . power to protect and preserve itself from.dissolntiou. It was calling upon and demanding the Steady, firm and en ergetic support of the Government of every loyal State, and of every patriotic citizen. This „great Commonwealth had just posed through a heated political contest, resulting in the choice of a chief Executive officer, abundantly pledged to an untiring support of the Govern ment and the war. With a majority in both branches of thlytegislature, holding...the same political views, the fortunes of war had placed the gallant and patriotic Senator friiin Indiana (Major Virrs) in the hands of the -enemy, a pnsonerof war, depriving.the people of his die- Viet of their_ representatlie, and, the people of the State of the power to carry out their expressed will In the Senate. The :Constitution rfunired the returns of 'the Wee tions to Le opened and published.by the Speaker of the Senate . ' the Governor was to be inaugu rated, and all the machinery of legislation . to be put in-motion. trader these circumstances, and with the clearest conviction of my duty, I came to the filenate without anticipating the slightest differ ence of opinion among -Senators upon . that, question. - I knew, however, that political par• - ties weie.. evenly balanced in the Senate, and I did anticipate a contest in the election of Speaker, which might be protracted, unless the expressed will of a . majority :of the peo ple was diaxegarded; and l would , hir - va con sidered it a plain disregard of diity,, if I - bad left the office iiiiiii+diitifigiitininicooptest, at such a time.

I remained In the Chair and put the motion myself, when the practi a bad been for th? Speaker to retire from the Chair and allow the Clerk to put the motion. My own view of that practice is that it was never anything more than an act of false delicacy on the part of the Breaker to avoid putting a question in which ha was generally interested, and that he could have resumed. the Chair at any time upon a failure to elect, and continue to discheree all the &Wei of Speaker—and I have simply to saythat I-disregarded the practice, which I considered purely personal to to elf- SUMO Senators, how ever, prefer to regard this pnietice of leav ing the 'chair as a resignation Of the cf- flee. If this be the true constinction of the practice, -then my only reply to those who oppose ~my pt.sition is, that, pis I said before.) under the circumstanct s we were placed, I believed it my duty not to ret-ign and leave the dime vacant dating the contest, thus snbjocticg the State to the liability of being completely disargac•ized, both in iitrgislative and executive department., Lnd in this view of the precedent and practice, I am equally willing to take the tespousibility of my acts. It has been admitted by all, that when the seedon commenced I wAs clothed with all the functions et speaker, aLd that it was my duty to take the chair and call the Sengte to order; but Senatore who have opposed me say that whenl bad rev ived the returns of the election of eleven new members to the body, that moment ail my official functions ceas:d, and I was no longer the presiding officer, because a new element had come into the body which had a right to participate in the • election. If such an argument have any force whatever, it proves too much; for upon that theory, if the Senate had chosen its offi:ers on the first day of the cession, atter the new Senator from Indiana .took his teat, a new election must have ken h. Id, because a new eicment had come into the body, and the officialcbaracter of die Speaker ceased. I have searched in vain for either law or precedent to establish etch a. position, and I think the argument wholly without force. The office of Speaker is erected_ by the Con stitution, and when once filled in a legal man ner can only •be vacated. as I conceive, by .tax.Orttion, cf- the term fixed by law, by the AtAth or resigriationtif the. (Scar, the expire Miler& ideSettator,nrethe action of the 'SelinteFittdeciaring the office vacant, or elect men. - ;haw mitts limiting the term for. which ihe• Speaker shall hold the offici, and it is not pretend-A , that any of the other con4genciete have yet happened to vacate the office. It seems to me, therefore, that there can be no reasonable ground to assume a va cancy. • I do not intend to pursue the argument Fur ther rhave only to, say that in assuming the position I have taken I have no credit to claim trom any one, other than that of having con ecientionsly di charged say duty. I have been charged, on,the floor of the Senate, withnsorp lug the office, by Senators who have uniformly treated me, paysonally, with the greatest cour tesy.. All these chargts I have treated as tame declamations—they have not affecttdirie In any way. From the commencement of tlieUession I endeavored to benfine myself strictly to the rules of parliamentary law, until the rules of the Stnate were adopted, and I have net wil- Tingly deprived any Sen. &tor of his rights in re. , ruling. The positions which I have assumed ' , and which have been co firmly and ably =- tabled and defended by my friends on the floor of the Senate, have also' been most fully and cheerfully recognized and endorsed by the co-ordinate branch of the Legisla ture, by the legal and executive departments of the Government, and repeatedly by a legal majority of this body. I had hoped that after these endorsements had been followed by the additional one of the people's votes in filling the vacant place in this chamber, acd giving the conetitutional.majority necms try for legia Wien; and when that majority had, by its vote, determined not to proceed to an election for Speaker, the ordinal) , legislation of the State, which has been so long delayed, would have been allowed to proceed. But it seems _still to be blocked. Seuato b. tinier thtir sworn obligations, see fit to coasider that my occupation of the chair in the position I have stated issuffieient warrant for them to vote against measures to which they profms their assent; they seem to think that sufficient justi fication for preventing the ordinary b , _gislation of the State from taking its proper course, and they have the power so to (ID - , although a mi nority. That throws the respciteibility upon me, after the Senate has determinednot to pro ceed to any election. It seems to me that it is noti my duty to the State longer to remain la the chsir, if Senators su =atm., their duty that it would not bejust to the publicintereie s that 1 should remain in the chair if say occu pancy of it is mid° the occasion for throwing an impediment in the way of the legislation of the State, in the con - ditionin the coun try Is now found. Whatever my position may be, whatever my interests are,.whatever my desires are, all such considsratikts, are as nothing in comparkon with the public inter ests. After a service of almmt el -k 7 3 ears in the Senate, I may say that I have De wish or de .sire personally to be the presiding. .;officer of this Senate, however much I am,flattered and always would be flattered by that - ,poettion. If the fact of my occupancy'of the/I-chair is made an occasion . for any ..surtul..or any Senators on this floor to JilF44-.ltirnself or themselves in an opposition to,.the ordinary proceedings of this body, and if:by resigning my c Ewe, I can further tIM interests of the pub lic•welfare, anti expedite , -the legislation of the Contmonwealtir then I think it my duty to re sign. With my sincere thanks for the curtsy have received; nad -Without imputing to any Seuators:npon theiber of this Senate any int ntoPer motives for the ammo they have taken, I resign to you the office which I ;liave held since the close of the last session;taiing the fullest assurance that you will IA tirAv permit it to remain vacant by a protracted; contest f or my suceessor.
