Agricultural Colleges. From an inspection of a report upon a plan for the organization of colleges for agriculture and the me chanic arts, we glean statistics of more than usual interest. Previous to the rebellion there were over two bundrfcd and twenty colleges and universities In the United States, in addition to a number of schools for law, medioine, and theology. No other class of institutions bearing a common name differed more widely in the value of their pecuniary re sources, and in thd extent of their operations. If we examine into tho resources of the more promi nent American colleges we shall see that the ave rage number of professors is twenty-five, while the average amount of endowment fund ia over aix hun dred tbouaand dollara. The annual reports of these institutions exhibit indubitable evidences of the in sufficiency of their resources for the accomplishment of the mission they are laboring to fulfil. The source of income and expenditure for Har vard, Yale, and Columbia colleges presents us with the following: g’g’BE'.g’lfg 1 ► Ek< 3 3 ; § e S' t.

Persons who are not familiar with the expenses involved in carrying on first-class institutions might be filled with amazement at what would seem the prodigality of spending the large sum oi $152,615 11 annually in one educational institution, anil will be unable to comprehend why an educational Institu tion can want so much property. Yet, when we oGtne to examine the expenditures in the different departments of Harvard University, we find the strictest economy exercised in all of them. Every dollar that is spent goes out of the treasury to bring in seme essential element of power, upon which the success of the great educational establishment is partially dependent. With respect to the sustaining of industrial col leges, the first question that arises is whether it is desirable that they should be elevated to the highest possible educational standard, with the greatest range of scientific and practical subjects, within the scope of their teaching, in the class room; or whe ther they should be Institutions of an inferior grade, with contracted limits to the variety and extent gl the subjects taught in them. This question has al ready been settled in this State, by the action of the State Legislature, in conjunction with the citizens of the State, in appropriating and subscribing money to found the Agricultural College of Penn sylvania, upon a basis being successfully carried out, only upon a large scale, with an effi cient course of instruction. The following classification of students is proposed as best adapted to organization of an industrial col lege : First, ACourse of Agricultural Science andPracticet which shall embrace a preliminary training in gene ral eoience, and then a careful study of those sciences that relate to agriculture.' Second. A Course of tEn gineerir.g and Architecture , embracing two grades, one of which the study of the higher mathematics and mechanics, and the other would require no mathematics higher than the first eight books of Davies’ Legendre. The lower course should embrace, in addition to the applied mathe matics tip to the extent of tha geometrical studies, practical lessons in all the details of ordinary civil engineering, mechanical drawing, perspective, pho tography, and embraoe as muoh knowledge, theoreti cal and practical, as ordinary engineers have oc casion to use in their ordinary duties. The higher course should, in addition to the lower course, em brace the fluctional calculus, the highsr geometry and mechanics, astronomy and navigation. The re sident graduates of this course should devote them selves to the profound studies of the physical sciences by means of the fiuotional calculus, and to experimentation in these soiences. Third, An In dustrial Course.— The word industrial is here used simply to refer to such branches of human in dustry as are not included in the art and science of agriculture, or of engineering. It relates more particularly to a practical and scientific knowledge of those industrial operations which are the offspring ot the natural soiences, as metallurgy, technological chemistry, pharmacy.

A Purely Practical Course.— This course should embrace only a popular consideration of science in its relations to industrial operations, such as is embodied in the popular lectures before popular scientific and literary societies* It is designed for students who ere too old, or may not have time, or who are too delicate to stand the close diacipiiae of a more extended course, as also for grown-up men, who may notin youth have had the advantages of a scientific Education, and who want to get such knowledge of science as will enable them more fully to understand the scientific reading matter and conversation which the progressive spirit of the age is more and more infusing into all the walks of social life. Fifth. A Commei'cial Course. —This course should not embrace simply the art of book-keeping, but it should make the student familiar with the law* of trade and commercial intercourse, and with the business habits and peculiarities of nations. This course could have two grades, in one of which no language but English was studied, and which would extend through one year, and the other of Which should embrace the study of at least two modern languages, one of which should be German. Sixth. A Literary Department. —lt is not designed that this shall dispute with ordinary colleges the right to teach literary studies, but it should bear some such relation to literary studies as do the pro fessorships of natural soiences in such colleges to scientific studies. In the report to which this article has reference it la remarked that it is due to,the twenty-three lite rary colleges in Pennsylvania to say that they made no effort to obstruct legislation, upon the bestowal of the income from the endowment fund upon the Agricultural College of Pennsylvania, doubtless knowing, as they must have known, that the friends Of this college had been mainly instrumental in get ting the bill donating the land through Congress; and hence by courtesy, no less than by right, and .according to the spirit of the bill, were entitled to the fund for the endowment of the State Institution forwbichtheyproouredit. It is further remarked that since this opinion was expressed a bill has been read in place, and referred to a committee, asking for one third of the land scrip for the Allegheny College, at Me&dvlUe. It Is wished that the Legislature will not give encouragement to this, and the following are the reasons given: It is said that the fund will scarcely yield sufficient Income to endow one indus trial college properly; that two or more partially endowed institutions will be unable to give that character and efficiency to Industrial education, without which the whole system will fall into dis grace; tbat the Agricultural College of Pennsyl vania is a State institution; that the State has appropriated $lOO,OOO, and the people of the State have donated nearly an equal sum, to bring it into existence; that it belongs to the State, and that Its property Is held In trust by a Board or Trustees elected by delegates from the county agricultual societies of the State; that all this property can 'only be made available for the purposes designed by it, with the aid of such an endowment as that aeoured in the land-scrip fund; that it was part of the plan of the friends of this college, when asking the Legislature to appropriate money to put up its large buildings, to secure an endowment from this source, and to this end they were, at the same time, laboring in Congress for the passage of the land-grant bill; that in view-of their being confident of securing an endowment from this source, they promised the Legislature, when ask ing for money to complete the college build ings, not to ask the State for an endowment*, that the friends of the Agricultural College of Penn sylvania secured the passage of the land-grant bill by Congress; that a member of their Board of Trustees (then, as now, a prominent member of Congress) devoted almost an entire session in Con gress to its passage; that other friends of the col lege visited Washington several times for the same purpose, and that without their aid the bill mould net have passed; that the Agricultural fitollege of Penu _ sylvania has no other endowment; that it has seri ous pecuniary embarrassments that will oblige It to fall back upon the State Legislature to secure an appropriation to meet, and that these embarrassments will be constantly recurring, if its managers are thus unjustly deprived of the endowment they have secured from Congress; that the Allegheny College, at Meadvilie, is not a State institution; that it is not under the control of the industrial classes of the State ; that it does not belong to the State; it was not originated for industrial education, nor has it been devoted to It; its friends did nothing for the land-grant hill In Congress; that at the time this bill originated they had not conceived the idea of Industrial education, and that even now their con ception of the demand for such education is em braced in what a “professor of agricultural chemis try, who will analyze soils,’’ ean do in their college. In conclusion, the report hopes that the Legisla ture ofFeuusylvauia will not encourage the claim. It says there are over twenty other institutions in the State with claims equally just. .As regards the at tention of this report to the pesuniary resources and eduoatlonal character. of the colleges and uni versities in the United States, the resource} re quired to sustain agricultural and industrial col leges, the organization of industrial colleges, the means of scientific investigation, the course or in struction, etc., the oompilation is full of interest, . and such as will demand and receive the attention of the thinking community. Ibish moss has been found growing abundantly on the rocks along the beach In fc'cituate, Mass., and about three thousand barrels are gathered annually. It is worth, at first hands, from five to six dollars per barrel. The Portland (Me.) Advertiser says the same moss may be found in abundance on, Cape Elizabeth, the Islands, and, we presume, all along ow cqaott CAMPAIGNING IN EAST TENNESSEE. [Correspondence of The Press. 3 Obab Okohakd, Ky., Jan. 23,1364, NOTES UPON THE MAROH. Plain's cross roads is twenty odd miles from Knox ville, and eight miles from Strawberry Plains, which is a station on the railroad, where it crosses the Holston. You come in among the mountains when you get to Biain’a cross roads. A road to the left, as you go east, takes you to Tazewetl; straight on, between two mountains, runs a narrow valley oalled Richland, scarce a half mile Wide, the road through Which leads on to Rutledge, as it is marked on the maps, “ Rough Ledge ” as you see it on the tavern stand and hand-board, twelve miles further.. When LoDgetreet-waa first pursued, the 9th and 23d Corps followed on up to Rutledge, and afterwards fell back to the vicinity of Blain’s cross roams. Many of the 9th Corps, in fact all but one regiment I think, who world re-enllst under the order, those who had less than one year to eerve, have re-anllsted, and are wending tbelr way across the mountains home. Richland valley is empty, with traces only of its oc cupation, fields denuded of fences, iille works, felled woods, chimney stacks, and huts. To tell it: now, I suppose, will be no harm. The 9th Corps suffered very muoh. With no rest after their campaign in Mississippi, they crossed these mountains. They were ragged and shoeless, and never had enough to eat. Forage trains were robbed of their oorn, to issue it iu the ear, an ear and a half to a man (I don’t know how they count ed the nubbins), and this to be shelled, ground in coflee mills to be used. When the orders forHhem tq return home came, they manufactured mooaslns of untanned beef sktDS. Those regiments that staid later received tome shoes. The mooasins were of little account, and you could see them strewn along the roads. Besides, from the middle of December until the middle of January, there was snow and rain, and a spell of cold weather, such as the say had not been known. Richland Valley will> be remembered by the 9th Army Corps as a place of suffering. No shelter, no great-coats, no blankets, no shoes, very little food, they sat t>y their camp fires for three weeks, at night, getting no sleep but what they snatched, doztug there, blinded with smoke, roasted in front, and freezing behind. No fault is to be found with those in authority. It was the fortune of the campaign. The offer of a furlough for re-enlistment came gladly. But be tween them and civilization was still a long, long, weary maroh. aoross the mountains. Whether it rained or snowed, was cold or warm, each phase presented its own difficulties. Ankle .deep in mud, frozen ruts, slushy snow, or ice that endangered head and heels, steep-breasted hills, mountain streams, and the bead waters of every stream known in Tennessee or Kentucky to cross, it was a trial that earned their furlough. Moreover, no ra tions could be furnished, exoept, perhaps, one or two days’ rations of coffee and sugar, one of flour, and the rest in corn on the cob. My own experience, though on horseback, may illustrate the trip; but one must sling his knapsack and crowd his haversack, belt his cartridge-box with forty roundß, and slope his rifle, and start, in older fully to appreciate. EARLY SETTLERS. We left Richland Valley about noon. A heavy rain had been falling all morning, and by spells during the day. The roads were a deep, heavy mud. Our leader had a fast-walking horse, and kept us trotting to keep up. We made sixteen miles, and stopped for the night at the house of a man named Haines. Just here we notioed a number of dead horses lying around. Colonel Graham, commanding the advance of General Wilcox, had a skirmish with a brigade of Longstreet’s army and General Wil liams. Our party consisted of six officers, besides four or five men, and a four-horse ambulance. One who had ridden to Strawberry Plains joined us here, who announced that he had at last discovered the reason why chimneys were builtr outside of the houses, which has been a fruitful subjeot of Inquiry and discussion ever since we have been in Ken tucky ana Tennessee. He was riding along, and saw a chimney, built of mud and sticks, on fire, and a boy and an old man prying at it with a rail, and finally overset it, The conclusion was that if a chimney caught fire, supposing that the early settlers built all their chimneys of mud and sticks, it could be thus overset without burning down the house. Although this don’t account for chimneys that are built of stone or brick, yet one might attribute it to habit—they build as their fathers did-—and, like many laws and customs we know of, the oustom remained long after the reason for it had gone, me inhabitant* stare at you when you ask the reason, and don’t account for it in any way. Thus, by acci* dent, our observant adjutant general has settled a grave, subjeot. At Danville, Ky., one of our pay masters, alter inspecting the town, and observing the *fact of the chimneysthus built, asked a long legged Kentuckian why it was so. “ Well, mister, I reckon they wanted the fire thar, and built it thar,” was the satisfactory reply. You frequently see, in Kentucky, they follow the custom without rhyme or reason, insomuch that when they are inside the weather-boaids extend only as far as the chimney, leaving it exposed to view. Bat the great atone chimney in Haines’ house, with its roaring fire, was large.enough for ou.r party to sit around in the split bottomed chairs, a jovial f comfort able party, coming out of the rain and mud, and the feathered beds were luxuries we had not enjoyed for many a long day, softer in comparison with the hard ground ot East Tennessee. We waked from cur feather beds to look out the only window to see the ground white with snow and the air thickened with the falling flakes. We went past the 51st Pennsylvania Regiment yester day, about eight miles from Blain’s oross roads, gathered under some sheds out of the falling rain, looking fagged and worn with their toilsome march. We thought of them with sympathy this morning, trudging through the mud, and of their bivouac du ring the Wild night; but they are going home, it will give them heart. Two miles from Haines’, we crossed the Clinoh by a ford: It was broad and rather deep, and thirteen miles brought us to Tazewell. It must have been a pretty town. The remains of many houses burned, of brick, hotels and churohes, indicated this. It was burned by the rebels, they allege, by aooldent, but the houses were detached, and the fire could not have spread. Turning to the left, a handboard said, “thirteen miles to Cumberland Gap.” UP THE CUMBERLAND. Within two or three miles ol the Gap, on an ele vation, on which was the house of Dr, Patterson, we had a complete view of the Cumberland range. The Gap In front and to the right of it towering, the rooky cragß, in perpendicular height, running in even range away to the right, as far as the eye could reach, its snow- covered sides guttering in the after noon sun, and past It a bank of clouds that looked as another range beyond. To the left, the. moun -tain was broken into deep gorges and reugh undu lating hills. After crossing a valley of a mile or more, with many a stone ehimney standing, like, ghosts of plundered homes, and over a low range of hills, you descend into a basin of about ten acres, where there are gome houses and many huis,.quar ters of the soldiers. On the left was a fortification in the mountain side and rifle works along up the side, and above were frowning embrasures. We inquired for dinner, but flour was out, and they locked the door of the sitting-room, where we thought to warm ourselves, in our faces. So we started up the mountain through the gap, and down the other side, rough as a mountain side with protruding rocks, the horses Ticking their way between and over them, climbing like oats, up and down places a man could scarce pick his way, meeting teams whose drivers were doing an amount of swearing sufficient to blast the Cum berland cliffs. One wagon was fast, and half of the team weie hitched to the rear to pull it back. It.was gold that made these wagons climb this way. We met but few trains going out, exeept the sutler’s wagons. Uncle Sam is fifed of this expensive route. And I may remark here, that between Cum berland Gap and Crab Orchard dead horses and mules are never out of eight. War has ravaged the country, denuded the fields of their enclosures, and destroyed the dwellings; but in its train will follow gaunt famine and pestilence, for these dead bodies will poison the streams and and foul the air, so that death will be the fate of those who live there the next year. We struck Tellow Creek at the foot of the mountain, and followed it as far as Baugh man’s, seven miles further—Wm. 81. Baughman, Esq., enrolling officer of three districts, where we staid all night, having travelled thirty-three and a half miles, ABOUT CUMBERLAND GAP-LIFE IN THE BOUGH. Baughman’s Is seven miles this side of Cumber land Gap. A Dutch name, he said his father and mother had come from Pennsylvania when he was very young. - A man of medium height, about fifty years old, dressed in blue Kentucky jeans, a coat cut in that peculiar nondescript, pointy-tailed style, with the waist half-way up the back, and the tail reaching about to his seat, his hair grizzled and a long bunch hanging over his forehead, and his head graced with a red woolen covering, like the pictures of Italian poatiliona ; a small, keen gray eye, long, eagle-beaked nose, [and when he laughed he showed a 'row of short, white, sound teeth, such as you al* ways see with such a nose and sueh eyes, in a healthy, vigorous backwoodsman. Your mind easily reverted to suoh men as Daniel Boone. Aotive and spry as a cat, his conversation showed him a sharp, clear-headed mac. His house was a collection of houses,'as usual in this country. The main one, for his family, with its great stone chimney, where roared a fire of cord sticks, in which he said he burned a half, cord ol four-feet sticks a day, during the late cold spell; another, detached, for a kitchen a third* where he lodged ua during the night, with a table, and quite a pile of law books, with other buildings whose use I didn’t know, clustered on the hillside, comprised his home. We all gathered round his ample fireplace, on those most comfortable of all chairs, the hickory bottom, whilst his grown daughters, who had just come in, were showing the purchases they had made at a store lately opened. Nine yards of what we used to ball ten-cent delaines they had paid forty-five cents for, and it was enough for a dress, for they said they never wore hoops. We were as much interested in the display as the whole family gathered around. AN OLD UNION MAN. Taking a seat by the corner of the fireplace, a warm, cozy place, except that a hole made in the mud filling between the logs bothered me with its too fresh air, which I remedied by sticking my felt hat into It. The old man observing it, said the hole had been made to watoh the rebels coming down the road, as it commanded the road away beyond the point of the hill, and gave him'time to 11 git,” as he termed it. He was a Union man ; was guide in many an expedition, and always on the qui vine to* get away when the rebels were about. He was a noted object of pursuit, and his continueisafety he owed to hit own wntchfuiawii: ho that the people back of him through the mountains were all Union, and rebel sympathizers were afraid to do anything against him. iiia knowledge of the ooun try was accurate, and the rebels naves dared leave the beaten road, on aooount of bushwaoker*. He made the quiet remark that many a rebel oame in among those mountains who would never be ac counted for. Once, he said, he was nearly caught. He waa sitting in his own house with a neigh bor, talking, when a rebel officer and some men, coming the other way, came into his house before he knew it. He had to face it out. The rebel officer was after him. He asked him his name. Davis, promptly replied tho old man. What’s your first name? William; and he asked the captain whioh way he had come, and whether he had met an ox-team on the road? The oaptaiu ask ed who had the team. “A man named Cook, neighbor of mine; our mill’B broke down, and ho started three days ago for some meal, and his wife got uneasy and wanted me to go and look after him. Then the captain asked the other man’s name, and they got talking about whisky, and the old man got the captain interested on the subject, telling the oaptaln" where he oould got it up in Har lan county, and at last got up and said he must bo going; -walked out leisurely, bidding the captain good-day, and made tracks for his hidlng placo In the woods. The old man said ho never felt so tick lish in his life: felt like a rope was round his throat, and it was the more difficult because his family were all around him, and the thing had to be done with a suspicious oaptaia watching him. “I wouldn’t tell you all between this and daylight," said the old man, after he had kept up until late around his great roaring.ohtmney. So I could not write all in many sheets of what he did tell us. Our ambulance overset two or three mUes baek, and tumbled everything into the road, and did not get up until 2 o’clock at night. The old man had promised to have us up early, but the ambulance coming up so late, and being up, and iu aod out, had befoggled him, and he did not get up si. juarlyV TUMBLING UP AND. DOWN. We had the three “ Log Mountains" to crosi— why so sailed we Inquired, but oould not find out and the philosopher of onr party was befoggled, and oould not explain it—about seven miles across- Where we Struck the ford of the Cumber land river The ground was frozen hard in ruts made by the tread of men and h ones going over when soft, the hills were steep and rocky; it was toilsome and tiresome; it took us three hours to make it. We strike Clear creek as we get over the mountains, and where it empties into the Cumberland. Oa the hither side is a fortification thrown up by ZoUicof fer to command the approach of the river. It was a useless WOtk, as it was easily commanded by hllia higher than It Impatient ofbattle, be left here, and attacked Col. Garrard at Wild Cat mountain, where he waa whipped, Bnd returned through Cumberland Gap round to Mill Spring, where he was killed, and the first victory in the West obtained. The river is bordered with high, rocky hills, and its bed full of .huge boulders, and dreary as the win ter made it, it was still very attractive in its scenery. The road was level and smooth, and one had a chance to look around—a chanoe you scarce had before; your eyes Were kept too steadily on the road. About a mile further down was the ford’ crossing which, you followed the river on towards Barboutsvllle. The roads were smooth, frozen hard, and we made Barboursville about 3 o’clock. The 45th Pennsylvania Regiment, on their way home, were just going into camp for the day. THE PHILOSOPHER The philosopher of the party "was mounted on a tall, raw-boned sorrel horse, oaptured from one of Longstreet’s men near Knoxville. He was known by the name of “ Longstreet," alias “Blossom,” and valued by the philosopher at various prices, accord, ing as he showed his “diamond points” or some dec fieienoy. He had evidently been a raider, for he walked with ease over, the roughest roads, and did it as though he had been used to it. 'He was, more* over, a very last walker. He was so lank and thin, and the legr were so long, he never could be reached with a spur. He had. however, so many “ diamond points,’’ that philosopher now valued him at twelve hundred dollars. Near Bar boursviUe, however, he suddenly knelt down, as a camel to let its rider off, the philosopher stepped off, and “Longstreet" rolled and groaned with pain, “ There goes $lOO off," mournfully said the philoso pher. He was got up, but his pain increased and he fell more frequently, and the philosopher was fain to abandon him for another “pick-up," as the ptaked up horses were called. The philosopher had been exultant over his “ diamond points," and scored us frequently for having such slow horses, that hit philosophy even could not keep his face from fall ing. It was maliciously remarked, by one of the slow-horse party, that the philosopher had blown so much about “Blossom" that he gave him the colic that killed him. “ Longstreet’’ was left to die in the barnyard of the inn at Bsrboumville. BARBOURSVILLE. Barbouraville appears in rather favorable contrast with the straggling towns with much more pre sumptuous names, such as London, Aft. Vernon on this route. It is thirty miles from Cumberland Gap. We pushed on over a country somewhat less rough and broken as far as Judge Parks Brittain’s, ten miles farther* It was somewhat after dark when we got there, and our ambulance was close on to our heels for the first time. The place was very inviting—a long white building, with a porch in front, and the hospitable great stone fire-place, and the clever owner. He was another specimen of an old settler, but of a different character from the last. His building, house, and barns and sheds, making a village of itself, indicated wealth. He had married lale in life, had no children, had rather a look of disoontent; hadn’t the rough vigor, the solid teeth, the look of content, the hearty grown family of Baughman, yet was a richer man, and he had been prosperous—was evidently an intelligent, worthy man, hospitable and clever to us. The ambulance wm a fortunate arrival, as we had a roast turkey on board, and asked the Judge to introduce it to the table, as our adjutant general, whose leave was for thirty days, and wished to make New York as soon as possible, would leave us in the morning early, to make Crab Orchard, fifty two miles, to-morrow. We were jolly at supper, for it was good, and the Judge’s Bour-crout, a luxury we never heard of since we left Pennsylvania, was a'dalnty relish to our turkey. Ride thirty-three miles over this way, get to such a hospitable place, wash in the pure, cold water, take off your boots, have sour-orout and turkey for supper—and I can assure you you will not have had many such enjoyments in life. Read Washington Irving’s description of the conclusion of his journey among the Rocky Mountains, and you will have a graphic description of our sen sations. SOLDIER. THE REBEL CONGRESS. Debate on tlie Employment of Free Negroes and Slaves. In the Confederate Senate, on the 33d ult., Mr. Miles moved to take up from the oalendarthe bill reported from the Military Committee, to be enti tled “ An act to increase the efficiency of the army by the employment of free negroes and elaves in certain capacities.” The motion was agreed to, and the bill taken up. It provides that all male tree negroes between the ages o! 18 and so years shall be held liable to perform such duties in the army, or in connection With the military defences of the country, in the way of work upon the fortifications, or in Government works for the production or preparation of material of war, or in military hospitals, as the Secretary of War may from\ time to time presoiibe; to receive rations, clothing, and $ll per month' for suoh services. It also provides for the employment of slaves for the same purpose, aud upon the same terms; and, in the event of the loss of any such slaves, the owners to he entitled to receive their full value; and the Secre tary of War is authorized to Impress slaves in the event that he shall be unable to procure their ser> vices in any military department in sufficient num bers lor the necessities of the Department. Mr. Gardenhier, of Tennessee, inquired of the chairman of the. Military Committee whether, in case that bill was passed, it would not be recognizing Lincoln’s right to eonsoribe our negroes. Mr. Miles replied that he was surprised at such a question. We had a right to do what we pleased with our Blaves, and Lincoln had no control over them. Mr. Foote, of Tennessee, said that a difficulty oc curred to his mind in relation to the question of ex change. Suppose any of these negroes were to be taken prisoners, what would be done with them ? He approved the object of the bill, and should sup port it; but the question he proposed suggested to his mind a difficulty in the way. , Mr. Miles replied that that question had not been considered by the committee, and he did not think it proper to embarrass the bill by the suggestion of any-feature in regard to it. Itzvaa a question that might arise hereafter, andmlght be left to the Com missioners of Exchange to settle. Mr. Bouldin, of Virginia, moved to amend the first section of the bill by adding, “and no free ne gro engaged in the production of food and forage shall be taken under this act,” Mr. Baldwin said that no exemption law which had been passed by Congress provided for the ex emptionox the producing class of the country. The only exemption they bad was made anti founded al together upon the idea of policy. In the section that he represented the entire agricultural interest was conducted by white people and free negroes, although it was a slaveholding community. He had it from good authority,’ that the operation of the substitute law would reduce one thousand farms from the production of a surplus of food and forage for the army down to a sufficient quantity to supply the families of the agriculturists. The Valley of Virginia was the great granary of Virginia to supply the army of Virginia. The farmers there were now selling their personal property and hiring oat their slaves, and preparing to go Into the army, under the provisions of the bill. - Whatever its efiect might he In bringing in skulk ers in other portion* of the country, in his district It called away from home men engaged in business, every blow at which was a blow at the Confederate States. It had swept through his distriot like a tornado of destruction. Slaves had escaped to the Yankees, and farmers had supplied their places by free negroes, thus making useful a olass hitherto useless. And now here comes a bill which proposes to take away every free negrb between the ages of eighteen and. fifty years, and free negroes go in ad vance of slaves. In some districts of the State you might take'every white man, and the women could conduct the operations of the slaves; but iu his dis trict, if the white men and free negroes were taken, it would stop agricultural operations altogether. He thought it time to husband our resources, and not make any! further drain upon the agricultural re sources of the country. The great question was not the number of men, but how to supply food and ’forage for the army. The supplies were already scant enough, and we were taking away those who would make them greater, and placing them among those who were now scantily supplied. It seemed that there was a sort ol stampede upon this subjeot, both in and out of Congress. The ory was. place everybody in me army and fight it out ;but he w»» unwilling to Place It upon the hazard of a single effort. He and the people he represented had embarked in the war for ever if necessary, and were prepared to fight it out in spite of every obitaole, and when the Government comes to the conclusion that the war is to be fought within interior lines, the confidence of the people would revive. He urged it upon Congress to take caie of every branch of industry, and supply the men we have: for the people would lose confidence if they saw that everything they had was to be staked upon a single effort. He hoped the Govern ment would set its foot upon any such mad policy, husband ita resources, and protract the war long enough tq securq.oin Vadepeqdsqce, THREE CENTS. DEPARTMENT OF TOE GULF. Tbe Coming Election—Candidates for the Governor, [Correspondence of (be Hew York Times.] New Orleans, Friday, Jail 22, 1864.—’The work for tbe election goes bravely on. Nothin? else U now talked of in New Orleanßbut who shall be our *next Governor, and all thewire-puiiera are hard at work from morning till night, olub meetings being held every evening in a dozen plaoes at the same time, and by day informal caucus gatherings in every bar room and at every street corner. The two names of any consequence at present most prominently before tbe public are those of Juoge J. s. "Whiiaker and tbe Hon. Michael Hahn, present editor and proprietor of the True DeZta, and late member of Congress for this State. Judge Atocha, of the Provost Court, is a great favorlte among a large portion of the inhabitants here—the Creole population especially—and his nomination for Go vernor would also have carried grcatwelght.but the opinion has gained ground that he Is ineligible, as, although a native of Louisiana, he has not resided hero the four years previous to the election, which would be required by law. Our present Military Governor—G. F. Sbcpley—in theeventof his having been eligible, would also unquestionably have been among the candidates, and nave had a very large number of supporters. ; . The 22d of February, ‘Washington’s Birthday, is to be celebrated here not only as the day of eleotion of State cfliotre, but also of delegates tb a Consti tutional Convention. 1 his was brought about by the efforts of the Free-State General Committee, who waited on General Banks last Saturday, for the purpose of obtaining his sanction to the stop. General Banks cheerfully acquiesced in the views expressed in the memorial, and promised to issue an additional order to that effect. Rear Admiral Farragut arrived here yesterday on board the Hartford, and made a considerable stir : the gallant sailor being honored here beyond all measure as the setne of his greatest exploits. As toon, as the Hartford hove in sight, the Pensacola thundered forth a salute of thirteen guns, which was responded to by the Hartford in fine style, making the town reverberate. Tonight a grand re ception is given to the Admiral at the residence of Major General Batiks, where the commanding General has publicly invited the ladies and gentle men of New Orleans, as well as the officers of the army and navy, to be present to welcome and pay. their respects to the noble old hero. A FIGHT WITH FORT MORGAN. The Era publishes the following extract from a private letter, dated off Mobile Bar January 9th: The monotony [of our blockade life was broken this morning by the discovery of a steamer ashore under the guns of Fort Morgan. All the vessels of the fleet got under way; and, while some repaired to the flag-ship for instructions, the Ootorara steam ed in and opened fire on the rebel craft, which speedi ly drew a reply from the fort. The rest of the fleet soon steamed in and took up their positions, when the fire became quite spirited. The rebel steamer was struck several times and abandoned: but she lay so near the fort that it was impossible to get her out. Finding our efforts to set her on fire were fnut lee s, the fleet withdrew, after firing two hours. The rebels used a fine 'Whitworth gun, with whioh they made some fair shots, fortunately doing no In jury. . _ .• JUuring the action a man was lost overboard from the Itasca and diowned, by becoming entangled in the lead line, at which he was stationed. Yester day the Ootorara went in under a flag of truoe, car rying an English officer to communicate with his country’s consul. We were allowed to approach to within a quarter of a mile of the fort, nearer than ever they allowed us to approach before. We found many chai/ges had taken place since last we took a near view of the place, more than a year ago. The walls are now concealed, and protected by a heavy embankment of sand, against which shot and shell vainly pound. PLANTATION LABOR—AN ORDER BY GEN. BANKS. Headquarters, Department op the Gulp, New Orleans, Jan. 19,1661. General Orders, No. —.—l. Regulations will be established on the Ist of February proximo, for the government of persons employed in plantation labor during the preeent year.

All plantations not in process of cultivation, .on the let day of February proximo, unless excepted from the operation of this order for special reasons, will bo considered abandoned estates, and rented by the Government to such persons as will undertake their proper cultivation* 3. Considerations of public health require the suspension of all unnecessary communication or travel by plantation laborers between the parishes of the State* or between plantations of the same parish. Such communication or travel, therefore, is forbidden, except under regulations established by the provost marshals of the several parishes, and upon passes issued in accordance therewith. Public officers and managers of estates are requested to assist in the execution of this order. By command of Major General Banks, GEO. B. DRAKE, A. A. A. Gen. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. THE MONET MARKET. PHILADELPHIA, Feb* 1, 1364. There was a stronger demand for gold today, and a corresponding strengthening of the price, which at one time was Vfi}U closing H less bid. the peace rumorß from Washington failing to affect it. Government securities are firm* and in lively demand. The money market quiet, and as a rule easy. The great feature of the day was an excitement In stocks, which far surpassed any former scene in the me mory of the eldest broker. The list of fancies was the special object of the outsiders, and everything offered was taken greedily at adv&ncins figures. The public are becoming large buyers, under the idea that the war is not yet over, and that the Jseue of the five par coat, legal tenders must cause an advance in everything. So far, this idea is correct, but the rise is as mainly due to a real appreciation of the values of stocks as it is to the mere speculation in prices. Hence, the upward move, menc is not entirely an unsound one. There are worth less securities on the market* but the character of a stock may always be discovered by Inquirr, and this very curiosity often leads to Investigations, which result invaluable information. It is not to be inferred therefore, because the price of a stock is only a few dollars ptr share, that its value is proportionate. Acci dents, pecuniary difficulties, and frauds may depress a stock, but wben the effort to work clear and above them is successful, the stock should resume its former place n the list • So. of all new adventures, especially mining companies. -The ground, is obtained, its character known, a company formed, and certificates issued after an assessment is made, and they go to work. So far all is risk, and just as their developments falfil, exceed, or disappoint the expectations of the company* so does the value of the shares rise or fall. An industrious inquiry will always bring out the true standing of a company’s securities. Fulton Coal was the leading favorite! and about seven thousand shares sold before the opening of the board at 7— *n advance.
