g4t Tess. TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1864. The Restoring Sentiment. Gen. GANTT, late a brigadier in the rebel service, and now an emancipationist inthe Union, has at length arrived in the North on his way to Washington. Those who doubted him while in Arkansas, may be lieve him in Cincinnati. Gen. GANTT is a living proof and representative of the fact that the truth is coming nearer and nearer home to both North and South. Haying borne his convictions out of the fire of the rebellion itself, and gone with them tri umphantlY through the work of reforma tion in his native State, he has every right to be heard in the North, even were we all Peace men and Conservatives. He has now a hundred times more right and welcome than ever, and perhaps more privilege than ourselves, to bring his. tried eon -victims before the country which has so unanimously approved emancipation as the only solution of the once terrible problem in which North and South, and slavery , and libeity are mingled and bound Om' armies are putting down a rebellion of slave holders. Mr GANTT and his compatriots are knocking off the chains of the slave; but- in this work they more truly deserve the thanks of the south than those of the north. •-we went out of the Union," says Mr. GANTT, "to save slavery; we co me back to save the white man." He has not more helped to save his State, than to save the South and the country. But lately a rebel, always a Southerner, and now au Abolitionist, Mr. GANTT's exatnple is one of the first unanswerable arguments of the returning patriotism of the South to the last pretexts and falsehoods of the worst class of the North. The EmanciPation party in the South is now stronger than the Copperhead party in the North; and GANTT, the rebel General, is an age ahead of dit.YMOUR, the loyal Governor of New York. Secretary SEWARD may well recall the story of the Prodigal Son and the fatted calf ; for in one half-year we have the pros pect of seeing an emancipated State restored to the Union. In remarkable words, Gen. GANTT says : hazard nothing in saying that in four months Arkanaaswill resume her relation, with the National cisvere meet, under a constriudou excludit g forever negro slavery from hersoll, it., having been the source of all her sufferings and calamities, an i as opening up a new pathway of wealth, power, and progress. This nobly measures the work which has been accomplished ; but tie following appeal is not less significant for the work before us : "For the sake of the bleeeingfind desolated South —to shorten Oda terrible Vall*---10 reetore order and quiet in the laud, and to uphold our noble national edifice, I would implore. on, and all Union men, to speak no word of peace my Southern brethren nave that which thunders from the mouth of every cannon, or flashes from tbe point of every gleaming sword. I say this because 1 know their leaders will never permit Qom to y irld until their armies are dispersed in deadly conflict." Earnest words like these, warm from the fierce and bitter experience of rebellion, hardly the depraved politician will dispute. it will not be possible tor me opposition to find a point of attack against the motives of General GANTT since the whole people of Arkansas declare their aversion of slavery : "You would think, if you visited us in Arkansas, that the seat of Abolitionism had been transferred from New Enand to Arkansas. Oar people have a right—God knows—to be sick of slavery, and they are sick of it. Oh !so sick They can point to the desolated homes, devastated fields, forsaken firesides, and smoking villages as a monument of slavery. They tom from it With a loathing lantecribable." The hopes and predictions of the past are more than realized by results such as these. The friends <f the Government need no other testimony ; its worst foes can have no more bitter disappointment. The Peace party in the 'North have appealed to the Unionists of the South, and here we have the answer. That answer is certain assur ance of the nation's triumphant future. Ia THE NEGROES will not fight, ' it ii not because they are slaves, but because they are black. But what does the President want of an army of negro jardzaries, when the rebels bring only white troops into the field, and we have a white popilia . don more than quadruple theirs it is said that their slaves enable them to bring all their ab to bodied whites into the field- This may he true in itself, but in the ap . • plieattort they of it it to gamic aousenme. Do our armies leave no laborers behind them I The white laborers that till ourson and rumour mills are five times as numerous, and unless slavery isan ad• vantage, they ought to be considerably more efficient than the Southern slaves. What, then, does the President want of an army of black janlzaries Nothing, we reply to this last question ; nothing of an army of janizaries, but much of an army of black men. The World is fond of coupling a good principle with a bad name, and then of abusing the one for the sake of degrading the other. We never heard that the President, or the people, wanted a solitary janizary, but, undoubted ly, they want good soldiers, whether white or black, brown or blue, spotted a's a leo pard, or striped as a zebra. Detaching, how ever, the Win klis argument from the as sumption that enshrouds it, we find that the employment of colored soldiers ig consider ed stark nonsense, because our armies do not absorb all our white fighting population, and because we would be stronger than the rebels 'without a single black man in our ranks. Granted ; but what then ? Are we to observe a proportion of strength, and balance our power with that of the rebellion? The World has always argued as if the Uni ted States was bound to respect the weak ness of the enemy, as if the war was to be conducted as a duel. On the contrary, the people hold that we should righteously use all our power, taking every advantage we can of the foe, and settling the rebellion in as short a time as possible. Let our white population be fifty times as great as that of the rebellion, it is still our duty to use every means of ending it. Besides this,-the co lored man, winch the World profoundly de spises, and incessantly taunts, has a right to fight, if he wishes to, and that ends the dis cussion. The t;rt-or corruption. The animus of the cry of corruption, brought against the Administration, is itself corruption of the worst kind, for the accusa tion is solely intended to advance the inte rests of a defeated party, and not in any Noy to help the investigations which the Government is making. We have seen again and again corruption exposed and corrupt men removed from office during this Administration, and in no case has the exposure or the removal been due to the Opposition. These have invariably been the work of the Administration, which jealously watches every sub- division of its departments. This fact alone takes the sting out of the cry that the Aaministra lion is corrupt. But the Evening Poet shrewdly remarks that, in the coming Pre sidential election, the Opposition will have " no tenable political ground on which to ap peal to the nation for its candidate, and that it must have some kind of platform to stand upon." All the other accusations have failed; the people are tired of hearing men, who do nothing to aid the war, clamoring that 11,e war is mismanaged; they are weary of the old song, that the Constitution is violated by the Government, which is laboring to crush the enemies of the Con stitution. These party cries no longer startle an indignant answer, and we are not sur prised that the Opposition is forced to take up the - worst and meanest weapon that party spleen can manufacture. The whole world knows that corrupt officials exist in the 'United States, and is also aware that never yet existed a Government without a thief in some office, or a thief who wanted to get into office. But the American people, judging the matter honestly, understanding how the vast expenditures of the Govern ment assist the concealment and tempt to the commission of fraud, know that we never had a purer administration than that of ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Multiply the cor ruptions that have crept into we depart ments of the Government by twenty, and the total will even then be too insignificant to justify the success of the Copperhead party in a single county election. THE 'RESOLUTIONS which Mr. MORTON NOMICILiRL offered last evening, nominat ing Anaemia& La:acorn as the People's can didate . for the Presidency, do honor to the earnestness and loyalty of their author. That they were unanimously adopted by men of such intelligence and influence as the members of the Union League, is the best proof of the profound veneration In which the President is held by the people. When the earnest appeals of Indiana, Nevi Hampshire, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia are acted upcn by the nominating convention, there is not the slightest doubt that it will be tri umphantly sustained. More than this, the principles of the Administration will be sus tained. Immense as is Mr. LiarOorar's per sonal popularity, the highest claim of our Presidential candidate will be that he repre sents principles that are the soul of the Republic. A Million of Men. Senator Howz, by his proposition that the President should call out a million of men for ninety days, "to carry food and freedom to every captive held in rebel prisons, and to plant the flag of the United States upon every prison they occupy," has, it is said, touched the popular heart. It may be so, though we have not heard of any general enthusiasm on the subject, but -it is certain that he has not expressed the popular judgment. That is against all schemes which have nothing but their pa biotic sentiment to recommend them, and all the probabilities and experiences of war against them. Senator HOWE'S plan for the speedy suppression of the rebellion is Quixotic. It is true that we should be pat% . titularly glad to see Senator WHITE libe rated from the Libby Prison, and once more in Harrisburg, but we do not thiuk "a million of men for ninety days" could tos sibly bring such unwelcome news to the six teen members of the opposition. - The President might call upon a million of men, but it is impossible that he should be answered ; our patriotism is great, but it does not run away with our good sense. Men who want to fight do not volunteer for ninety days, but tor three years, nor does any one; with the ambition of a soldier, care to go to war in a mob. For though the President might supply a-million of mus . kets, a million of uniforms, . and a trifling hundred thousandor so of officers, he would not have an army after all. Congress can not create an army by passing a bill that an army shall exist; the people cannot shape themselves into an army by the sheer foree of patriotism. soldiers are made by war, and a great army is the creature of many battles. The Army of the Potomac was little more than a half-disciplined mob be fore the battle of Bull Run, and is indis tructibie now because of three years of hard marching and fierce fighting. But Hr, Horn's million of men would not only be without the experience of war, but actually without the preparation of discipline. They would not even keep step to the drum;'they could not use their muskets, even if they knew how to load them, and the best officer in the army could not man age them on the field Of battle, simply be cause they would not understand his orders. The worst general in the world would find such an army an excuse for all his blund.ers. Perhaps Mr. Howes would make courage supply the want of discipline, and having clothed, and armed, and provisioned his million men, would order a general scramble towards Richmond—every man to plant the flag of the Union on the first prison he came to. To do this quick work would be re quired ; thirty days to call out, the men, thirty days to arm and organize them, and we have one month left for liberation and flag-planting. Then this magnificent army, like the " eloud-capt towers" of Prospero, would dissolve, and leave not a wreck be hind. We understand and admire the spirit which prompts such an idea, but we cannot understand why, with its glaring im practicability, the plan was ever seriously submitted to Congress. The million of men would not come, no matter how loudly they were called, and if they did, nobody would know what to dowith them. General MCCLELLAN himself would despair of taking even a swamp with such an army. We don't wish to " discourage enlistments," but if Mr. Howes bill is passed some sleepy day in Congress, and signed by the Presi dent at a moment when he is thinking about something important,we advise our readers to take care what they do. The wiser of them, if they really wish to rescue the Union pri soners, will take the bounty and go into a veteran regiment, where they will have good officers and staunch comrades. The shortest way to Richmond—the surest way to peace— is not the way Mr. HowE has marked out. We Can do more, and do it quicker, by con ducting the war with energy, upon es tablished principles, than by trusting to the force of a mob—starting out like Don Quixote, to conquer the world with a rotten lance and a pasteboard helmet. Tux, REBEL CRISIS, like the rebellion itself, is a paradox. A war Without a trea sury or a commissariat is quite as natural as a war for liberty, to save slavery. The sum of the predicament is well told, as follows The rebel Secretary of the Treasury, Meminin• ger, says that unless his proposed loan of a thou• sand millions shall be taken up by April next the dilapidated Southern Confederacy will tumble to pieces ; the rebel Secretary of War, Seddon, says that unless the farmers within the realms of Jeff Davis are made to disgorge their provisions the': blessed Confederacy will die of starvation ; the rebel Senator Willful' says that unless they enforce the conscription of every white man they can lay hold of capable of bearing arms, their hardmp Confede• racy will surely go to the dogs." We are left to infer that unless Mr. MENIIINGER can raise more money than can be loaned or given ; unless Mr. SEDDON can obtain more provisions than he can get ; and, unless the Southern army can gain more men than is possible, the Confederacy will tumble to pieces, die of starvation and go to the dogs. WASHINGTON. WASELTFIEFTON, D. 0., San. 11 The Potomac Frozen Tight. - The Potomac is completely ice•bound—the drat time in seven years. A large number of vessels are frozen in between Alexandria and Aquis Creek, and a large lest is detained at anchor further below. The ice in some places is several inches thick, a lit tle thinner where the current is fast, and very thick where the water is quiet, and strong enough to bear a man's weight. Of course the blockade runners improve this oppOrtnnity to take contraband goods from the Maryland to the Virginia shore, and With out fear of molestation or detection. Provisions and supplies for the Potomac flotilla have to be sect via Baltimore, as communication between the navy yard and the flotilla by river is impossible. Several gunboats, sheathed with heavy iron, despatched from the yard here with supplies, have beewunable to get through the ice, and put back for repairs. It is a little singular that on so important a river as this now is to the Government, there should be no ke-boat. The ice.dealere in Washington, for the find time in their lives, are filling th eir cairn from the Potomac, and scorn New England. Senator MeDougall , s Resolution. Senator McDonekALL's of California, joint reso lution in relation to the French occupation of Mexi co, asserts that it is an sat unfriendly to the United States ; that it is the duty of this Government to demand the withdrawal of her armed forces from the Mexican territory, and that unless the with., drawal shall take place prior to the 15th day of March next, it is the duty of this Government to declare war against France.

The bill introduced by Representative STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, today—the consideration of which was postponed till February next—provides that, within all the territory of the so-called Confederate Staten which has been, or may be, conquered and subdued by the Federal arm; all laws and parts of laws which permit slavery are henceforth abolished, and that slavery shall never again be established within the Said territory; and that hereafter no portion of it shall be admitted into the Union as a State, or be represented in Congress, except by delegates, if the same should be authorized, until the people within the territory forming such State shall, by HI organic law, forever prohibit alsvery Therein. sale.of the "Arlington Property 4 At the sale of confiscated property in Virginia, to day, the Arlington estate was bid in by the Govern ment, at $26,800. For 921 a property the Government had three or four competitors. The Curtis Min:Farm was purchased by Mr. E. FLANAGAN, at $4,100. There were in all thirteen sales, amounting to $50,500.

Wins- Love, , united States consul at Petits. Peril, eleven specimens of cultivated and wild cotton, grown in the Chive valley. Some of the specimens are very fine and valuable. In a communication to the Secretary of State, 40.. companying these specimens, Mr. WrrisLow states that the in/tummy of the internal troubles of this country has extended to Peru., in commercial and agricultural respects. The neeeellitiee created by the almost total suspension of supplies of cotton from the united States have stimulated its production in the inter. tropical region. of Peru. Cotton was cultivated by the ancient Indian population that flourished un der the Incas, for their common use, but was wholly neglected by the Spanish invaders, and ran to waste; but the climate and soil being particularly adapted to its growth, it has continued to flourish as a wild plant. Rich plantations have been laid out in the valley of the Chiva—a river bottom, averaging more than two miles in width and extending from the bay to the Andes. The cultivation has been very sue cessful, and a quantity of the cotton is being ex ported to England. The mom of the initial ex. periments made by Messrs. GARLAND and Devarir, have encouraged the institution of similar enter prince, with Peruvian capital, in all the valleys that skirt the Auden favorable to its cultivation. The production of the staple In this region is likely to become important and exceedingly remunerative to those engaged in it. The greatest obstacle to be overcome in rendering it available is the difficulty in the interior regions of transporting it to the coast, the only means of transportation available being on the backs of mules, who can c arry only from three to four hundred pounds at a load. The Egyp tian and Sea Island cotton grows in all this region with sn improved fineness and length of staple, and the wild cotton, by cultivation and mixing, is be coming much improved in quality and of greater value. The Egyptian cotton plant, when once started, grows thriftily, and in four months begins to yield. The native cotton yields in eight months. Bolls open every successive day, so that picking on large plantations will be continuous labor. It is said that there are two season, to the yield of the mild cotton, and that the trees, which sometimes grow to the height of twenty to twenty-five feet, continue to thrive for ten years. The cultivated cotton of foreign varieties seems to differ frOm this habit of periodicity, and unfolds a continuous and uninterrupted harvest, and becomes; perennial.--. Herne/. THE SI►DTIWEST.

COonespontenos of The Prem.) CIONSTAIITINOPLII, Dec. 17,. 1863, I enclose to you a photograph of the Sultan. It is perfect fee simile of the Imperial features. The present Sultan and his two immediate predecessors are the only Turkish sovereigns who have allowed their portraits to be taken in formal canine, the Mohammedan religion, as you are aware, forbidding drawings of the human figure. Mahe:mud, the re former, the father of the reigning Sultan, was the first to set at defiance this religious interdiction. To brave the popular prejudice the more boldly on this subject, he ordered his portrait to be hung up in all the barracks of the empire and in the cafes of the Oapital. The old-school filusselmen looked upon this proceeding RFS a daring profanity and insult to the faith of the prophet, and in many instances re- Dented it by tearing down the portraits. A few such offenders being severely punished for their fanatic ii temerity, the people gradually acquiesced in the in novation on ancient usages, and contenting them selves With calling the Sultan a Warner, as he was In fact always regarded by this class on account of his introduction of European schemes of reform. The prejudice against portraits, however, con tinues yet, and is so strong that the Sultan could only be induced to allow his own to be taken after being petitioned to that - effect by all the leading Clhristlan bankers and mementos of Oonatantinople, the diplomatic corps also preferring a similar re• quest. Ets lidejesty is of rather short, medium sta. tare, stout, and firm set, and evidently of a strong physique. Els general humor is gay and jovial, but he is stern and unrelenting when excited by acts of perfidy or corruption on the part of these in whom he has placed his trust. He sees and feels the no. acuity of great reforms to save the empire' from ruin, and wisely surrounds himself by , the ablest and pureet statesmen at his command. Unfortu nately for himself, he has had no training for the great office he fills. He is what we would call an uneducated man, his knowledge being chiefly con fined to the ability to read and write his own: lan gnage. He know, not a syllable of any foreign tongue. It is strange that, while the viceroys of Egspt educate their heirs generally at Paris, and. to modern attainments, the heirs to the Imploring throne pass their youth in the harem or in effeml nate pleasures, and are permitted to grow up 'ln a state of almost perfect ignorance. This want of familiarity of.the Sultan with foreign tongues ren ders him dependent on his ministers for a knowledge of the politics of the outside world, and gives them an immense power, which, if abused, may lead to disastrous results. It is the eldest male of the Imperial family who succeeds to the throne, and not the eon of the reign ing Sultan, unless he be such. The present heir= presumptive to the throne is Dared Effendi, eldest son of the late Sultan Abdul Medjid. Next to him, in chance- of succession, are his three brothers. None of them give any promise whatever, being all known as idle, dissipated/young men, entirely ad. dieted to sensual pleasures. The Sultan's son—at least the only one he acknowledges as of Imperial prerogatives, for he ham plenty of others—is about six years of age, and is a fine, manly little fellow. He is being bred to military life, and already has quite a martial bearing and tread. He looks as if be might give his rivals to the throne some trouble to obtain their rights of snecession, if he or they, are not got out of the way by some of the ancient practices. On all State occasions, he makes his appearance in full military costume, and Is evi dently the pricier or hie father. The Prime Minister, or Grand Vizier, is Plied Pasha. He is a statesman who would do credit to any Cabinet ba Europe. He was educated at Paris, and speaks French in the most elegant and rearrest manner. He is descended from a family which has produced several literary celebrities. Hes father was one of the best modern Turkish poets. He, himself, is also a poet of no mean pretensions. His conversation is very interesting, from his liveliness of imagination and the brilliancy of his wit. He is fully up to all the requirements of his station, and is alive to the wants of the empire, and the necessity of great changes in the way of modern progress, to save it from immediate ruin. He is thoroughly Mk quainted..with the movements of the day, and is un doubtedly one of the most enlightened and, I may say, liberal statesmen of Europe. He is a warm friend of the United States. On one occasion, he said to Mr. Morris, our minister, c , I cannot under derstand why any portion of your people should de. sire the destruction of such a Government as yours; for my part, I have always regarded the United States, not as one of the best Governments in the world, but as the very best, and to me it Is incompre heralble that the people of the Southern States should seek the destruction of what to them, equally with the people of the North, has been the cause of so much prosperity. For my part, I can wish them and you nothing better than that the American Union may be restored to its pristine in tegrity." These are the generous sentiments of the first of Oriental statesmen, and which I give to you in the exact form in which they were pronounced to our minister. - The predecessor of Mr. Morris, M. Williams, Of Tennessee, long anterior to his removal from office, was a rank Secessionist, and he and his family took peculiar pleasure in sneering at our republican inati tutiona. Mr. Williams wee earnest in his zeal to indoctrinate the Sultan's Cabinet with the idea that the days of the Union were sealed, and that the proslavery movement was right and just in every respect. On his return to the United States, after settling hie accounts at the Treasury, he joined the rebel army, and fought in its ranks until the foitrinies of the rebels began to wane, when he left for Ea. rope. He is now residing in one of the European capitals. A book of his Is announced by Bentley, in London, entitled " The Rise and Fall of the Mo del Republic." Can anything be baser for an Ame rican than to write the epitaph of his country's ruin? But of what are the politicians of the Jeff Davis school not capable t If the telegraphic report which has reached here of a great victory by Grant over Bragg in Tennessee be true, Mr. Williams' book will not gain him much credit as a prophet. I am sorry to say that the depredations of the rebel privateers are doing great mischief to Ameri can commerce in these parts, at least in American bottoms. The tisk of shipping under the American flag has beconie so great, of late, that in one single Instance the house of Amine & Co. paid $.3,000 war Insurance alone on the last trip of their American bark, the "Armenia," to Boston. This was outside of the usual maritime insurance also. Some of the members of this house are naturalized &mericans,- and a branch of their house is established in Boston. They are about to sell their American bark, and will be obliged to ship in future under foreign flags. Our Mediterranean trade is sadly exposed, as there is not a single United States war steamer in its waters. Under the new treaty between Turkey and the United Staten, there was every prospect of a largely lamented tfade between the two countries ; but the impunity with which rebel freebooters on the ocean can molest our ships, will prevent its de velopment. The American flag, once so frequent here, is becoming a rarity of late. The Gaulle being known, has a tendency to impair our consideration. Our energetic Secretary or She itavy must look to this. The political horizon is stormy, and forboder war. The Porte is looking to the future, and is wisely in creasing its army and navy, both of which are now in an admirable state of efficiency. The barracks around Constantinople are crammed with soldiers, who, as fast as they are thoroughly disciplined, are sent otrto the provinces, and to the Danubian fron tier, to watch the Russians, who are amassing large forces in that quarter. We are now in the midst of winter. Snow has been falling for several days, and all the surrounding mountains are covered with white mantles, The Constantinople winter, however, is very variable, being generally rather wet, than dry and cold. Sometimes rain falls for two months in succession, almost without cessation, rendering the streets and roads next to impassable, on account of mud. This we can endure. however, as we have hardly a drop of rain from Nay to October. TO give you an idea of the rapidity of intelligen c e I may mention that news by teiegraph was received from New 'York of the date of December 2d, on vest. terday, the 16th, being only fourteen days from New York to Constantinople. This despatch repotted a repulse of an attack of Lee by Meade. Unfortu nately these rapid telegrams keep us in a protracted suspense for the details of the events announced, and which do not often come by usual course of mail for two weeks or more later. Since the tide has so strongly turned in favor of the Union you tian not conceive of the wonderful change public opinion in Europe has undergone in our favor. Now people begin to roam that the Government of the Union is the most powerful of all Governments; that Abraham Lincoln is not exactly as incapable as he was represented to be by the London Times and its defamatory hack N. Y. correspondent. Now the opinion is that President Lincoln is °neatly the man for the crisis and that be is possessed of extraor dinary administrative ability. Nothing like power, power, to convince the world and to command re sped. G. T. O. MOM the Levant Herald. Dee. 16. 3 A communication appeared in our columns a few weeks ago from Tunis; mentioning amongst other things that one of the Tunisian Minis- - tars, Bach lambs, lately Governor Of Tabourba, bad been convicted of the murder of a groom in the employment of the Prime Minister, and sentenced to death. The circumstances of the crime were not explained, but our correspon dent expressed a doubt whether, in the case of a person occupying so high a position, the capital sentence would really be carried into effect. Justice, however, appears in this instance ,to have been ad ministered with aternimpartlality • for we read in a correspondence of our local Arabic contemporary, Et Jaeleib, that in the market place of Tunis tile head of the ex-Minieter has actually fallen beneath the executioner's axe. A princely munificence has been shown of late by the Sultan to several of his intimate counsellors. During the past week he has made a present to Mehemet Pasha, the Minister of Marine, of a splen did watch, mounted in diamonds, with a jewelled chain to correspond. A misprint in our last num ber, which was overlooked in going to press, entire ly underrates the value of the ring which we an nounced as having been presented by his Majesty to the Grand Vizier. This ring is of the most superb desctiption, the diamond being a very preciousjewel, and the veinal' estimated at from .£12,000 to £16,000. His Majesty has also, within the last few days, pre sented A'ali Pasha, the Minister of Foreign Affaire with the handsome sum of a thousand purses (6,004 liras), to contribute towards the equipment of the new country house which his Highness has recently Niro - lased on the Bosphorus. • The Sultan has just become possessed of a tchillik at Dania, Which hitherto belonged to his brother-In /Mr, Mehemet Ali, eio Minister of Marine. The Sultan, who takes a great personal interest in the neighborhood, where he so frequently visits his own farm, was anxious to obtain thutchiftik in question, and caused a message to be communicated to Plebe. met All, in order to ascertain it he was disposed to part with it, and on what terms. Mehemet AU en sioeed the hodjets of the property as his answer, as the title deeds with the earnest assu rance that hie person and all that he possessed were at the disposal of his sovereign. The Sultan, much touched and pleased with this mark of loyal °oral ality from the husband of his favorite sister, from whom it is well known that State reasons had caused Lim to be alienated, has in return for the farm so cheerfully surrendered, conferred upon the ex-liiini elerii property of large extent, embracing, it is said, seven teldfliks, in the neighborhood of Seated. Six y oung men have been recently sent to Paris by his 'Highness Fund Pasha, in order to study the military art in its various arms, cavalry, infantry, and artillery, at the celebrated military seminaries of the French capital, with the view of returning eventually and acting as professors of the science of war to the Turkish Troops. There are now thirty tour young Turkish officers in all domiciled in Paris, ..cho are pursuing their studies for this purpose. • WW WOULD call the attention of our readers to s beautiful site fora Country seat, situate on Ridge -road, opposite the seven-mile stone, and containing about four sores, to be sold by M.

And whereas, The intention of Congress wee simply' to declare that restriction on the forfeiture of real estate of any offender • under the act which is re. quired by the Constitution of the United States, in the•following words: "No attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood or forfeiture except during the life of the person attained." And whereas, Doubts have ilarisen respecting the construction of the said joint resolution in this partici:ller, now, therefore, to remove all such doubts, Be it emoted b y the Seale and Home of ReprevAla tires of the Unit.d SlafesAn Congreas assembled, That the said resolution shall not be construed to create any other restriction on the forteitnre of the real es. tate of an offender under tbe said act than is created by the Constitution of the United States in the case of an attainder of treason. A samendments to the Constitution. Mr. HENDERSON, of Missouri. introduced IL joint resolution proposing amendmen ts to the Con stitution. Mr. MoDOVG-AL, of California, introduced a joint resolution in relation to the occupancy of Mexico. Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. Mr. WILSON, of Massachusetts, introdnoecl joint resolution amendatory of the joint resolution to supply sielleituoien in the appropriations for pub. lio printing and bounties for volunteera. The inquiry into the Arrest of Certain SOldteiw Mr. WILKINSON, ref Minnesota offered a re solution th at the. Secretary. of War Minnesota, requested to furnish all the information in hie possession, touch ing the arreet and incarceration of amnia soldiers or the 9th Minnesota- regiment by the military au thorities of Missouri at Jefferson City. Mr: 'WIKINON said that a negro had come into the camp, and.told the soldiers that his former mas ter, a rebel, had gone' into the service of the lion federate Government. Re also said that, by the permission of the commander of the post, General Brown, his wife and children were in prison for the purpose of being taken South for sale. Theme sol diers of the 9th Minnesota, having recently been seat down there, considered this an outrage, and about forty of them started out for their rescue. Reaching the depot they found a train of can there, With the passenger' all on beard ; they took the WO- Weil and children out of the hands of the trader", and delivered them over to their husbands. There upon forty of the soldiers were arrested, thrown into prison. end remain there now as he learned, Mr. LANE, of Kansas, remarked that scores of soldiers bad been con fi ned in dungeons in Missouri, for hurrahing for "Jim Lane." Some of these were afterwards released, and the colonel, by whose or del s they were imprisoned, was himself made to hurrah for "Jim Lane." - The subject introduced by the Senator from Min• newts is now undergoing an- investigation by the Legislature of MissourL The officers appointed by Governer Gamble are the offenders. Tao soldiers of Missouri are unoon ditional Union men Tae officers under the Gamble regime are sympathizers with treason. Military' Affairs ba. arissotteL Nr. BROWN, of Micaouri, said that he WOUld venture the assertion that no State, in its military affairs, had been as badly managed as his own. He had received communications setting forth the facts in regard to this case, and they confirm the state ment made by the Senator;. and they further chow that it is only a part and parcel of the programme which hoe prevailed there for more than a year past. He could also endorse the atatements of the sena tor horn Kansas in regard to the warfare Which has been made in the State Upon the "Free.zollera. ,, It has not been done alone by the Gamble dynasty, but sanctioned ar d urged on by the military com mander of the United States in that department, General Scho fi eld. He trusted the Senate would review the whole subject, and take theproper action upon it. The reeNution Was adopted. Why Motion for Ezpulston Of Mr. Davig. The resolution of Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts, for the expulsion of Garrett Davis, of Kentucky, being the order of the day, Mr. LANE, of Kansas, said he hoped it would be postponed, though for himself he was prepared now to vote for the expulsion of the Senator from Ken Lucky. Mr. HOWARD, of Michigan, said that he was opposed to taking np the resolution at present. It was a grave question. It was important to the Sena tor from Kentucky, to the good name and fame ,of the body, and to future history, that the subject should receive careful consideration. He hoped that it would lie over a few days, as it was hie inten tion to say a few'words upon it. It was a grave and deeply important matter, as the Senator from Ken. tucky will discover when it MONO before the Senate. Remarks of Mr. Davis. Mr. DAVIS, of Kentucky, said he was well aware of the gravity of the resolution of the Senator from Massachusetts. He was not surprised to hear the Senator from Kansas announce his purpose to vote for his expulsion. The resolutions which he had submitted were laid upon the Senate table on the s:h instant, and every one has had an opportunity to see them. The Senator from Massachusetts, on Friday, drew up an indictment against him, embody ing a resolution requiring his expulsion. I am, as if it were, under arrest, not exactly a military, but still a sort of an arrest. He was entitled to a seat on this floor, or he was not. That was the question. He wanted it to be decided by the Senate to-day. If the Senate were not . prepared for- the discussion I would be willing to postpone the matter ; but I pre sume that every Senator here, like the Senatorfrom - Kansas, is prepared to vote upon tae subject. It is a matter or injustice that I 'mould be left suspected belore the Senate. The Senator from Massachusetts avows that he has undertaken this matter without consultation'; that solitary and alone hehse put this ball in motion against me. The Senatorfrom Michi gan avows his intention to say something ; be it 80. I suppose other Senators wilt have someth ing to say, There will consequently be Maple time Miring the de bate for Senatots to ttudy the import of the resolu ta on. Senators can well conceive the position In which I emplaced. I only ask justice, and that Se nators shall get tq me as they would that others ebOUld fret to them. I hope the Senate will con- Bider the subject at once. , Mr. JOHNSON, of Maryland, thought the Senate should consider the subject at ones, In justice to the Senator from Kentucky. Mr. FOSTER, of Connecticut, concurred with the opinion thy/reamed by the Senator from Maryland. Mr. DAVIS. not wishing to force the matter upon the Senators until they were fully prepared, moved that the resolutions of Mr. Wilson be made the special order for Wednesday next, at 10 o'clock. Agreed to. Mr. HENDERSON, of Missouri, submitted the following amendments to the Constitution of the United States : The Abolition of Slavery. First, That slavery or involuntary servitude, ex cept as a punishment for crime, shall not exult in the Unites State& Second, That Congress, whenever a majority of the members elected to each House shall deem it necessary, may propose amendments to the Consti tution ; or, on the application of the Legislatures of a majority of the several States, shall call a conven tion for procuring amendments, which, in either cue, shall be rated to all intents and purposes as a part of the Constitution when ratified by the Legis• latures of two•thirds of the several. States, or by convention . . in two-thirds thereof, as the one or the other. mode of ratification may be proposed by Congress.' The House bill making consular and diplomatic appropriations was referred to the Committee of the Whole. The Death of Senator Bowden. Mr. CARLISLE, of Virginia, then announced, in appropriate terms, the death of Ida colleague, Mr. Bowden, The usual resolution of condolence were adopted, and it was also resolved that the Senators shall wear crape for thirty days as a mark of respect to the deceased. Mr. WILSON, of Western Virginia, and Mr. WILSON, of Massachusetts, followed in appropri ate eulogies. The Senate then adjourned till to-morrow. ROUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Important Bills.

CARL WOLBSONZI'S OLASSICIAL SOIRBES.--The changes in the programme of Mr. Wolfsohnis first soiree, advertised in our columns to-day, will in- crease its value. The musical world ha/ reason to expect much of a series which bigins so brilliantly, not only in regard to art, but artists. Precisely such soirees as Mr. Wolfsohn intends to give are demanded by the musical interests of Philadelphia, which are certainly equal to those of Boston or New York. In a concert-room we never hear the beet chamber music of such composers u'Beethoven, Mozart, and Haydn, and those who do not always wish to hear Lucia warbling of her misery, or Leonora sing of her love, depend entirely on such soirees as these. Mr. Wolfsehn's programme has great va• riety with its merit, ranging from Beethoven to Abt, and giving vocal Muria, as wall as instrumen tal. Mr. Habelmann , e reappearance is very grati fying, for, since Stlgelll, he is the best German tenor who has visited America. We shall be astonieheil, however, if he sings " Adelaide " as it should be sung, for it is a song so great that it almost always necessitates the failure of the vocalist. That the instrumental music will be finely rendered, the names of Messrs. Wolfsohn, Ahrend, Stoll, Kooh, Birgfeld, and Muller, all among our best musicians, are sufficient proof.

La rigs PROM GANIZIIAL SIIERMAN.—A.II inte• resting letter from General Sherman to the chair- man of a meeting of the citizens of Warren county, hlissiesippl, will soon be Published. The meeting asked not only for protection at the hands of the military authorities, but for sustenance also. Gene. ral Sherman replied that he knew of no nation but ours which had ever undertaken to feed the inhabi• tants of an insurgent district. "If you know of any," writes General Sherman, "I will thank you for a copy of the history which records them." The General Jays down several propositions : First, that the degree of protection accorded to white in. habitants will depend much upon their own goaded. Second, the task of providing for the negro popula tion falls upon the Government, so by act of war it succeeds to the title of master. The General advises the white planters tohire the negroes, and go on with farming operations, "not on a large Ocale,” for "no ono can sae far enough into the future to say who will reap what you sow?' He says further : " Our duty is not_ to build- up, it is rather to destroy both the rebel army and whaterar of wealth and property it has founded. Its boasted strength upon. The duty of reconstruction belongs to the loyal, people, and not to the army."--Con N. Y.

They left Tazewell and were marched over the mountains though the cold, some of them without oboes on their feet, and with but little clothing. They were compelled to march day and night, with but a scanty supply of food, and a number of them actually died from starvation. In one party of one hundred and two, twenty four died before reaching Camp Nelion; and after reaching that place, fifty Men Of the same party 1511 down from sheer ex• halation and died in a few hours. Out of the five hundred who left Tazewell, but three hundred and fifty reached to this place, the remaining one hundred and fifty having died from exposure and the want of food and proper care. One night two men belonging to Company A of the 115th Indiana had become so weak from starvation that they fell by the wayside, and actually died crying for bread. These facts were related to us by both officers and privates belonging to the different regi ments named above.
