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."

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

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.
ITEMS.

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.
