4tbls oaf ttt 111 tElt. XX.XVIIIth CONGRESS.. -2d SESSION". SENATE January 24.—The resolution offered by Mr. Wade, favoring retaliation in kind for South ern inhumanity towards Union prisoners, was called up. Mr. Submer offered, as a substi tute, a series of resolutions, denouncing the rebel barbarities, expressing the sympathy of the United States with the sufferers, pledg ing the undivided energies of the loyal part of the nation to bring these outrages to an end by putting an end to the rebellion, but adding : " Resolved, That any attempted imitation of -rebel barbarism in the treatment of pri soners would be plainly impracticable, on ac count of its inconsistency with the prevailing sentiments of humanity among us ; that it would be injurious at home, for it would barbarize the whole community; that it would be utterly useless, for it could not affect the cruel authorizers of the revolting conduct which we seek to overcome ; that it would be immoral, inasmuch as it proceeded from vengeance alone, and that it could have no other result than to degrade the national character and the national name, and to bring down upon our country the reprobation of history : and that, being thus impracticable, useless, immoral, and degrading, it must be rejected as a measure of retaliation; precisely as the barbarism of roasting and eating per sons is,always rejected by civilized powers." Mr. Wilson moved, in place of Mr. Sum ner's resolutions, a simple resolution instruct ing the . President to appoint commissioners to confer with the rebel authorities, with a view to devise some practical plan' for the better treatment of prisoners in, their hands. The subject was discussed = but no vote was reached. A bill, brought mby Mr. Wilson, was reported to the Military Committee. It contains more stringent provisions for secur ing the Government from imposition =in the matter of substitutes and enlistments for bounties. It also charges against each dis trict losses by desertion and discharges for physical disability existing previous to•enlist, ment, and requires them to lie made up by an additional draft. January 25.—Some further discussion took place on the retaliatory proposition, in the course of which, some modifications were proposed. One, by Mr. Wade, the mover of the original resolution, making it mandatory upon the President, instead of advisory, thus compelling retaliation in kind upon rebel officers in our hands. The subject was not concluded. January 26.—An important financial bill from the House was taken up and finally Passed. Its character, as explained by Mr. Sherman, Chairman of the Finance Commit tee, is as follows,: The act of the last ses sion of Congress, authorized the Secretary of Treasury to ioorrow $400,000,000 on the credit of bonds to be issued by the United States on terms prescribed by the first section of the act. He was authorized to issue, in lieu of the bonds,Treasury notes not exceeding WO, 000,00. Under the first section of the bill, $70,000,- 000 had been issued, and under the second section, $126,000,000. The Secretary of the Treasury desired to avoid issuing any more wider the first section of the bill, which made the payment in gold obligatory, and wanted autherity to issue under the second section. A large portion of the day was spent on the retaliatory resolutions, but no vote was taken. January 27.—The Committee on the Con duct of the War was instructed to inquire into inhumanities towards Georgia negroes who joined Gen. Sherman in his march through that State, alleged to have been committed by Gen. J. C. Davis. The revised Deficiency bill, (see House proceedings, January 26), came up, and the provision for increased compensation of House employees was again stricken out, and the bill, as thus amended, passed. The retaliatory resolutions again took up a considerable portion of the day. No vote. January 28.—The motion of Mr. Davis, of Maryland, to create a Standing Committee on the corruptions of the Government, led to a sharp debate, in which Mr. Hale was par ticularly severe on what he alleged to be cor ruptions in the Navy Department. He con tended that frauds in that department were exposed at the last session, but nothing was done in the case. The retaliatory resultions were further considered, but no vote was reached. January 30.—Mr. Sherman, from the Fi nance Committee, proposed a tax of fifteen., in place of three per cent. on paper, as voted by the House. A. bill for the better reorgan ization of the Pay Department of the U. S. Army was referred. Mr: Wilson proposed amendments to the bill for enrolling, &T., the national forces, making an enrolled man eli gible as a substitute, striking out the propo sal to make the principal liable for the sub stitute, who deserts, and depriving the de serter of the rights of citizenship. (But if he is shot, as he ought to be, what sort of punishment or additional security is this enactment ?) HOUSE OE EXPRESENTATITES Jan. 24.—A resolution was passed, instruct ing the Committee of Ways and Means to in qture into the expediency of removing the -tariff on all materials used in the manufac ture of printing paper. The day was princi pally occupied. on -the- question of privilege raised yesterday upon General Butler's letter to Mr. Brooks, member from New York, de manding explanation of words spoken by the latter in debate, characterizing the former as a gold robber. The subject was finally dis posed of under the decision of the Speaker, that General Butler's letter was not an in fringement of privilege. Jan. 25.—A. resolution of thanks`to Gene ral Sheridan was adopted, 130 to 2. The =nays were Mr. Harris, of Maryland, and Mr. Cl. A. White, of Ohio. The subject of ma king inquiry respecting exchanges of mer chandise with the rebel states, (provisions for cotton,) was taken from the Military Oominittee and committed to the Committee OIL Ocimmerce. The "Deficiency Bill" fell through, on account of a final disagreement between the two Douses on the proposition of the Rouse of Representatives to insert a provision increasing the pay of its employees 20per cent. Jan. 26.—A new. Deficiency Bill was re litorted by the Committee of Ways and Means, with the clause on.which the two houses had disagreed modified with a view to secure con currence. It 'was passed l and sent to the Senate. The business of the day was of a milEellaneous character. Jan. 27.—The day, according to previous order, was entirely devoted to the considera tion of private bills. Jan. 28.—T , -day was specially set apart for speeeh-making on the proposed' anti slavery ( I,tit um on al amendment. About - thirty members only were present at the .tiperupg of the 'llense. Mr. Asldey, of.Qhio, said it was the intention to "press a vote" on Tuesday. Jan. ;A—A resolution thanking the Presi deal r •;)riemoving Gen= ral Butler was laid on vote of 97 to 43 THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY' 2, 1865. TILE WAR. REBEL BANAL DEMONSTRATION FROM RICHMOND. Despatches received at Washington from City Point, state that on the morning of January 25, a rebel fleet of five vessels (the Richmond squadron) came down the river to destroy our depots and works at City Point. " The high water of the current freshet en abled them - to pass the obstructions which our commanders had placed above City Point for the better protection of the place. A battle quickly ensued between the rebel fleet and our nearest battery or fort, in which one of the rebel vessels was blown - up and in stantly entirely destroyed, while two others were - so damaged by shot and shell as to compel them to, seek a speedy flight back in the direction of Richmond, accompanied by the other two, which escaped with no damage to speak of. Admiral Farragnt left her yes terday evening for the scene of the action. It is understood that he will at once assume the naval command:there." A later account of the affair says :—" The exit of the rebel gunboats from under the guns of their bat teries on the James river came near to prov ing'a very serious affair to us. Had the rebel ram Richmond not grounded, the whole of our fleet of transports, with all the works of General Grant at City Point, would have been destroyed, as the naval officer in charge of our forces turned tail and ran, for which dis graceful conduct, it is, reported, that he has dismissed from the service." Still later, and from rebel sources, we learn that the fleet did not get off without serious loss. The Richmond Sentinel of Jan. 27, says: " Tile iron clads are again at their old an chorage. The vessels passed the first obstruc tions, but could not pass the second line. The 'Drewry grounded under the enemy's batteries, when the crew were removed. About ten minutes after they had left her she was blown up by a shell exploding her magazine. The Richmond and Virginia both got grounded. The Virginia was struck by a 300 pound shot, which loosed some of her iron bolts, but all the injury received was re paired in a few hours." M :►lk , ,t FL;►iktrii btil• SA ti 03:1111 CAITuREO nrus FAIL —A report from Ad miral Porter to the Navy Department, gives the following list of forts taken possession of below Wilmington, 'since the fall of Fort Fisher. Reeves Point, three 16 inch guns. Above Smithville, ten 10-inch guns. Fort Caswell, ten 10-inch guns, two 9-inch guns, one Armstrong, four 32s rifled, two 32s smooth, three 8-inch,one Parrott 20 pounder, three rifled field pieces, three guns buried. Forts Campbell and Shaw, six 10-inch guns, six 32s smooth, two 32s rifled, four field piecek two mortars. Reported at the other end or Smith's Island, six g.uns. Total, cap tured?. 83 guns. This swells the total cap totes a cannon below Wilmington to one hundred and sixty-two. The amount of can non °stared by our . armies within the last twelve Months, would supply an arsenal with suffieientarmament for an ordinary war upon a Europan , scale. A special despatch to Richmond, dated Wilmington, January 19th, says that the Tallahassee, (the rebel pirate cooped,at Wil mington,) was captured on the previous _night in attempting to escape by way of New Inlet. Up to : January 28th, no :information confirming_ the "report, had been received by the Navy - I)epretinent at Washington. TICE BLAIR MISSION. Our authrOties—are still dark on -this af fair, and wee67l . onble to determine whether there has bgepopy thing official in those mysterious vitits4o Richmond. The last we have on the subalat is the following from Washington papers of January 28th. Readers can make more,or less tilf it, according to their belief that Blair waskentrusted with a peace mission. " The result of Mr. Blair,'s visit to Richmond is this: :_Tikat" - Jefferson Davis is willing to waive all formalities, and to send ac to Washington or race l from there, Com missioners to treat for,4 e upon the basis of separation. The Pre dent of the United States, on the other heap willing to give a hearing to any person of tidlnence who may come from the States in rebellion, with or without authority from Da*, to treat for peace on the basis of anthills' sion to the Union. Of the above facts there is no , doubt." SOUTHERN NEGRO TROOPS. The employment of negroes,,in the rebel army does not yet appear to be.a. fixed fact. Washington letters of January 25thi-say that there is positively no truth in the Statement that the South now has "200,000 negroes in camps of instruction, " preparing foernilita,ry operations during th ensuing summer. In stead of this, Congress has not even yet acted upon the recommendation of Davis to 'employ negroes in the quartermaster and commissary' departments. Nor has the Legislaturef Vir ginia acted upon the earnest suggestion of Governor Smith for the conscription and ar ming -of the blacks. It is clear from these facts that the policy is yet to be avoided un til the very force of desperation shall driven upon them. SOUTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA The week has brought us nothing very ei citing from this quarter. Rebel accounts ,of the 24th ult. report no movements of our army upon either bank of the Savannah, An Auosta despatch to the Richmond Whig, of January 25th, says that a large body . :,of troops from Savannah are reported moving on the Augusta road. Other rumors say Sherman is moving on Augusta by way of Blakesville S. C. Union advices from Beaufort, S. C. of Jan-' nary 25th, say that Shenman's advance is at Salkahatchie, midway between Charleston. and Savannah, on the railroad. A considera ble rebel force is at Asheppo, and rebel rein, foreements - have been sent to Branchville to hold, that place against Sherman. Several cannon from the outworks of Charleston have also been sent to Branchville. It was cur rently believed from the persistent accounts of deserters that Charleston would be evacua ted. The movements by the rebels indicate that they 'are remising heavy guns from . James and Sullivan's Islands. The Savannah correspondent" of the N. Y. Herald, says that the donations of food sent out, were distributed from the market house, to those formerly rich but now poor, to whites and blacks indiscriminately 2 under the direc-; tion of authorized Committees. The kind and eloquent letter of Mayor Lincoln of Bos-, ton, to the Mayor of Savannah, was a theme of much approbative comment by the old cit izens of Savannah. REBEL NEWS. We give the following as undoubtedly, true in all their bad aspects toward the rebel cause; for the papers mentioned would of course not exaggerate in that direction. We have, however, no confidence in the speculi dons made respecting Blair's mission, if his trip to Richmond was really a mission at all : Richmond papers contain important nali tary and political news. On the 18th inist., General Terry appeared in front of Wilming ton and demanded its surrender. He gave General Bragg till next day to remove all non-combistants from the city. At the last ac,counts, Bragg had withdrawn his troops from Wilmington, having previously removed as much of the. Government stores as could SIX DOLLARS ROW FIFTY CENTS, Call and examine someihing urgently needsa. by everybody. retailsple will be sent free by mail for 50 cents. that for $6. It. L. WOLCOTT,_ _..per- - • i 6611 7 170 Chatham. Square /1 Y. ~ _ --. ~, be taken away. It is the opinion of all the Richmond papers, that General Terry would occupy the city, as they (rebels) could not defend it. The Charleston Mercury, of a recent date, says that the greatest consternation prevails throughout the State of South Carolina, on account of Sherman's grand advance. The people are leaving the State, and moveableA are being taken out of the State; and in Charleston, the greatest panic also prevails. The rebel Secretary of State, Judah P. Benjamin, has resigned, because peace nego tiations are being carried on 'between Jeffer son Davis and President Lincoln, without his (Benjamin's) co-operation and assent. The rebel editors also say on the subject, that Mr: Blair's return to Richmond indicates that Mr. Lincoln has accepted Jeff. Davis' pro_posals to treat for peace. Joe Johnston has-refused the command'of the Department of Tennessee, and General Lee has also declined to become Commander in-Chief of the rebel armies. -It is evident, from all these signs, that a revolution in the South is rapidly progressing, which will soon terminate in the complete disintregation of the Confederacy.

MASON & HAMLIN'S CABINET OIitANS. MASON & HAMLIN. respectfully invite attention to the fact thartheir Cabinet Organs are, by the written testimony of a MAJORITY - OF THE MOST EMINENT ORGANISTS AND MUSICIANS IN AMERICA. as well as a number of distinguished artists of other countries, declared to be unequalled by any similar instrument- - THE BEST OF THEIR CLASS:" also, that they have been awarded within a few years, thirty gold or silver naedala, or other first Premiums. at the principal Industrial Fairs of the country, for the best instruments of this claas. They will be glad to send any one desiring it,, an illus trated catalogue of styles and prices, with a largo amount of this testimony. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. The high rmiutation of our CABINET ORGANS has frequently induced.dealers to represent that other instruments are the same thing—thatthere is no essen tial dllference between the Cabinet Organs and Organs with various names, made by other makers. This is not true. The excellences of our Cabinet Organs' which have given them theinhigh reputation : are the result not merely of the superiority of their work manship, but also large measure of essential differ ences of construction. which, being patented, nannn t ' be employed by other makers., These are essential to their better quality and volume of tone and unrival led capacity of exinression. When a dealer represents another instrument as the same thing as the Cabinet Organ, it is tusnally an attempt to sell an inferior in atrum:ent on whioh he can make a larger profit.
