THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1865.
Sherman, Grant, Dee.
43en. Sherman is the firßtof our generals
who has led an ariny into regions whence
no intelligence of its movements can be
had. Twice has he disappeared. When
he penetrated Georgia nearly a month
passed before communication was reopened
7 with his army, and now he has been lost
two weeks in the Carolines. Where he is is
unknown to us. Rebel papers confess
that he entered Columbia, but beyond
this we are ignorant of his path and
his progress. Nothing is more significant
._-of the strength of our cause than the
•calmness with which the North endures
its ignorance. There is a profound confi
dence in Sherman’s ability to march
■where he will; fears for t,he safety of Ms
army are unknown. Yet we have reason
to believe that a large force is gathering in
his front, and that he cannot continue to
advance without ilnding/his way disputed.
To Sherman is entrusted aggressive
force ; to Grant, for, the present, a con.
fining power. The one holds, while the
other strikes. -Grant astonished the na
tion in the campaign of last spring by the
ferocity of his onslaught, and the terrible
energy with which he fought his way from
the Rapidan to Richmond. It should not
the less admire the patient waiting of the
past few months. This radical difference
exists between the delays of McCl.klt.an
and those of the Lieutenant General: Mc-
Clellan when be refused to advance
assigned as his reason the want of a force
sufficient to secure success; Grant has
awaited the results of other movements.
From the .day that Sherman left Atlanta,
Grant’s policy has been the postponement
of a general battle. Nothing but the extreme
probability of a decisive, crushing victory
could have justified Mm in attacking Lee.
The value of the hard fighting of the over
land campaign ended when Lee was forced
into Richmond; then-it was the object of
our generalship to keep Mm there; and how
great have been the results- of this policy
our recent victories reveal. Grant, by
holding Lee in Richmond, enabled Sheri
dan to sweep the Shenandoah Yalley; made
it possible for Sherman to march through
Georgia; placed victory within the
reach of Thomas; gave back to the
Union Savannah, Charleston, and
"Wilmington, and now, by this stub
born investment or imprisonment of
the principal army of the rebellion, he
gives to Sherman an opportunity which
is worth a reinforcement of .fifty thousand
' men. 'So long as Lee and Grant main-
tain their present attitudes there is no
probability that effectual resistance will
be made to Sherman, yet, unless he is
repelled, the fall of Richmond is cer
tain.. Better management of our forces
there could’ not be; all our armies
are co-operative, and the strategy wMeh
has for its object, not the winning of
isolated battles, but the destruction of
the great armies of the rebellion, must
triumph in the end. Until Grant assumed
command the war had so little organiza
tion that all our campaigns seemed scarce
ly more than exhibitions of brute strength.
Cardinal Wiseman’s Successor,
The Archbishopric of Westminster (Ca
tholic), which carries with it the Primacy
of England, being vacant by the death of
Cardinal Wiseman, some interest is felt, in
and out of the Catholic Church, in the
question—who shall succeed him ? It need
not necessarily be a Cardinal. At present,
as the English papers inform us, three per
sons are talked of—each being a man of
mark. We shall name them in alphabetical
order: ‘ ,
1. Dr. Clifford, Bishop of Clifton, bom
on Christmas Eve, 1833. He was made
Bishop in 1850, and was recommended by
Cardinal Wiseman Mmself. He is brother
of Baron Clifford of Chudleigh, who is
also a Count of the Holy Roman Empire.
Sir Thomas Clifford, a noted member of
the “Cabal” Ministry, in the time of
Charles 11., and charged with being the
originator of the practice of corrupting
Parliaments in England, was raised to the
Peerage in 1672. The family have long
.ranked among the leading Catholics of
Bishop Clifford, moreover, is
grandson of the late Cardinal Weld.
There is no scan. mag. in this, though it
-may seem otherwise. The fact is, Mr.
'Thomas Weld, of Lulworth Castle, Dor
setshire, bad an only daughter, married to
the eighth Lord Clifford, and, after the
•death of his wife, took holy orders in the
Church of Rome, was consecrated Bishop
of Amylxea in 1825, and-created Cardinal
in 1830; he died in 1837.
2. Dr. Henry Edward Manning, former
ly Protestant .Archdeacon of Chichester,
was educated at Oxford; graduated there
in 1830, as a “first-class” in classics; quit
ted the Church of England in 1851; is now
head, as well as founder of a religious Order
of secular priests, settled at Bayswater, en
titled “ The Oblates of St Charles Borro
-meo,” and is also Provost of the Chapter
of Westminster. He is in Ms 53d year,
and distinguished for his power as a writer
as well as for his eloquence as a preacher.
3. Monsignor George Talbot dr Mala
hide, Chamberlain to the Pope, is a young
er brother of Baron. Talbot de Mala
hidb, one cff the most ancient among the
Irish families. The castle and lordship of
Malahide, near Dublin, were conferred upon
a Talbot, by Henry 11., over 650 years
ego, End have never gone out
possession. Monsignor Talbot is reputed
to he a gentleman of great learning and
tact. •
It is very probable that", the Pope may
not appoint any of these three. At the
same time, perhaps, Monsignor Talbot
has the best chance, though Dr. Manning
is “ the favorite” in London. '■
We find various biographies of the late
Cardinal Wiseman in the latest English
journals. They declare that the great ex
periment, made in 1850, by which Eng
land, assumed by the Papacy to have re
turned to “ the Church,” had been planned
by Dr. Wiseman himself, then Bishop, as
early as 1848—“ that the plan of parcelling
out the land into provinces of the Homan
see, and even the boundaries and names of
the different dioceses, were then deter
mined on; but that the untoward eventß in
Italy, which compelled the Pope to fly in
the disguise of a footman from his own
capital, cheeked, the ardor and postponed
the schemes of the Vatican. But in 1850
brighter visions were in prospect. Thanks
to the French arms, the Pope bad been con
ducted back in triumph to his capital, there
thoroughly and for ever to divest himself
of ai! those sympathies with Italian free
■dbm and independence which, at his ac
cession to the Papacy, he had so warmly
encouraged. In 1850, - Dr. Wiseman left
London once more for Home”—and, to
wards the close of that year, waß fulmi
nated from the Vatican the intimation that
Pros IX. had instituted a full
.hierarchy for England, of which Dr. Nicho
las Wiseman, “ Cardinal and Archbishop
-of Westminster, ’ ’ waa the head, with full
vicarial powers to act as the Pope’s Le
gate.
Of Cardinal Wiseman’s successful admi
nistration there Is no doubt. At the Con
gress at Malines, in 1868, the Cardinal gave
the following statistics of what he called
-the growth of his religion in England: In
-1830* there were 434 priests; in 1863, 1,343;
In 1880 there were 410 meeting houses; in
1868,. 873 ; in 1830 there were 16 convents;
In 1863, 163; and of the new Homan Ca
tholic chapels 43 have been'built by “ per
werts. ” It will be difficult to replace such
u man, who was popular outside his own
Church.
Death of a Veteran,
The year 1769 is remarkable, in history,
for the large number of eminent persons
bom within its limits. Among these may
be enumerated John Quincy Adams ;
Alexander Von Humboldt ; Sir Thomas
Lawbenob (who succeeded our own Ben
jamin West as President of the Royal
Academy pf England); Sir John Man-
COLM, diplomatist and author; Mrs. Ofie;
Thomab Fanshawe Middleton, first
Bishop of Calcutta ; George Cuvier, the
naturalist; Sir Mark Isambbbt Bbunrl,
who constrmted the Thames Tunnel ;
William Smith, the geologist; Tallibn,
the noted anti-Girondist; Mehemrt Am,
Pacha of Egypt; Dupont de l’Eubb, so
distinguished in the French Revolutions of
1880 and 1848 ; Lord Castlereagh, after
wards Marquis of Londonderry, whose craft
destroyed the nationality of Ireland, by
bribing the Irish Parliament to vote for the
parchment Union with Great Britain;
Marshals SouLTand Ney ; Arthur Wel
lesley, Duke of Wellington, and, greatest
of all, Napoleon Bonaparte.
Some little doubt exists as to whether
Napoleon really was not born in 1768,
and plausible reasons have been assigned,
by French writers, in 'favor off fixing the
date in that year. However, we are not
now required to discuss that subject,-but
will accept Napoleon as one of the men.
of 1769—particularly as it enables us to re
mind our readers of a good bon mot on the
subject, credited to Louis XVIII., who, a
feeble monarch, would have been more in
place, as well as happier, as a man of letters-
The story goes that, once on a time, Lord
Castlereagh, dining with King Louis,
asked Mm whether it was not a faot that
the D uke of Wellington and Mmself had
been bom in the same year with Napo
leon ? The answer was in the affirmative,
whereupon, with that grace wMeh accom
panied the Bourbon compliments, his Ma
jesty bowed and said: “It seems as if
Providence, ever good and bountiful, had
sent Wellington and Castlereagh as a
compensation for having produced Napo
leon at the same time,”
In'that same 1769, was bom, at Llewenny
Hall, DenbighsMre, a very eminent
Welshman, who outlived all of Ms con
temporaries-dying, only a fortnight ago,
in Ms ninety-seventh yew. TMs was Vis
count Combermere, made Meld Marshal
of the British Army in 1855, whose: closing
years were as calm as Ms early career had
been stormy. His real name was Staple
ton Cotton, and, though he won his
peerage by Ms sword, he previously be
longed to the rank intermediate between
tbe nobility and the gentry, for he suc
ceeded Mb father, in 1807, as 6th baronet.
The Cotton family, who possessed-large
estates in North Wales and Cheshire—
their%>rincipal estate in the latter place
being Combermere Abbey—claimed to have
been settled there since the Conquest, aud
frequently supplied Parliament with mem
bers- for ChesMre. They were loyal to
Charles I. during the Civil War, and,
at the Restoration, the eldest of the race
Was knighted, being created baronet flevfiii
teen years later. ,
Entering the British army at the age of
twenty-one, Stapleton Cotton’s first ser
vice was in Flanders, in 1793, where, my
Uncle Toby said, the men swore fright
fully. Money helps a man in the British
army, for it can purchase the various steps
in rank, and, by the time_Mr. Cotton had
been six years in arms, he commanded a'
dragoon regiment. He was gallant as well
as wealthy, and sought to be employed on
active service .-—at the Cape of Good Hope
and in the Indian War against Tippoo
Saxb, he distinguished Mmself; was Major
General at the itge of thirty, and was one
of the first officers sent to the Peninsula, in
1807 (when he had succeeded Ms father as
baronet), there holding command of a
brigade of cavalry. He fought all through
the Peninsular War to its dose in 1814;
was present at Talavera and second in
command at Salamanca; , was repeatedly
thanked by Parliament-for Ms gallant ser
vices ; and, finally, when Napoleon was
lodged on Elba, was raised to the peerage
as Baron Combermere, apensßmof £2,000
per annum, for Ms own aud two other lives,
being also granted. He was not present at
Waterloo, in 1815, but was employed imme
diately afterwards, by Wellington, to com
mand the cavalry of the army of occupation
in France. In 1817, he was made Governor
of the Island of Barbadoes. After that he .
was Commander-in-CMef in Ireland for
three years, and in 1825 was sent to India,
where Ms capture of Bhurtpore, a fortress
supposed to be impregnable, and wMeh
Loid Lake had besieged and failed to take
in 1805, saved British India, and was re
warded with his elevation in the peerage,
as Viscount, with au additional pension,
“ to support the dignity of his rank.”
TMs ended Ms active service. He had
then risen to be full General in 1825, and
Field Marshal thirty , years later—two
grades of rank not known, as yet, in the
American service. Since 1829 ,he com
manded the First Life Guards, and the Con
stableship of the Tower of London and
Lord Lieutenancy, of the Tower Hamlets
■becoming vacant by the death of his old
commander, Wellington, Lord Comber
mere, was appointed to these offices in
October, 1852, and; retained them to his
death. He also was “ Gold Stick ” at
Court —a salaried office.
From 1805 to his being ennobled in 1814,
he had a seat in the B ouse of Commons.
"Few Parliament men have been so taciturn
in the legislature. During sixty. years’
membership, first in the Commons and then
in the Lords, it is doubtful whether he ha 3
spoken a dozen sentences in all. For years
he was wonderfully ‘‘ well-preserved. ’ ’ In
Wb ninetieth year he reviewed the troops
in Hyde Park, managing his charger as
well as if he had been half his real age,
and, in or out of uniform, was one of the
best dressed “ men about town.” Thrice
married—the last time in his 70th year,
to Miss Gubbins, a young Irish lady, who
has lately written a very agreeable book—
Lord Combeembbe has left one son, a Colo
nel in the army, now forty-seven years old.
We believe that as Lord G. has been called
away, Winfield Scott, U. 8. A., is now
the senior general officer in the world.

We taaye received the latest files of European pa
pers by the Canada, whloh arrived at New York
yesterday afternoon, and,in then find fall accounts
of the obsequies of. this able and distinguished
prelate of the Catholie Church. On the 23d
ultimo his remains were Interred at Kensal Green
with great ceremony. The Time* gives a long
account ol the obsequies, from which we extract
Ahe main facts. His body, after lying In Stata fer
three days at his private residence, was removed oi
the 22dto the Oathollo ohuroh In Moorfields, so
that the humbler classes of his communion shonltL
have the opportunity of seeing the body’of a prlnc<r
of their Ohnreh lie Instate. At York plaoe the'
ci ffln was opened, and the features of the dead man
were exposed to view, surrounded by the mitre,'
orozier, and other insignia of his high office. But
oil removal to Moorfields the lid was screwed
down, and the solemn spectacle was, there
fore, deprived of much of its mournful in
terest. Nevertheless, It attracted Immense
numbers of the people, and from an early hour In
the morning a loDg file extended from the church
door half way round Flnsbury-clrcus, men, women,
and children patiently waiting their turn of admis
sion Into tho chuxoh. A strong force of the city po
lice were, in attendance, and wen or great use In
securing regularity of Ingress and egress, but be
yond that thore was no occasion for their servlaeSj
the utmost decorum being observed by the orowd,
every member of whloh seemed to be deeply im
pressed with the solemnity of the ocoaslon. Moor
fields, one of the oldest Roman Catholic churches
in London, haß long since been eclipsed in dimen
sions and architectural splendor by the more re
eently.bullt churches of the same communion ; but
It still looks spacious and solemn. No daylight, ex
cent that which poured down Horn the roof on the
religious paintings at the baak of the high altar,
waspermltted to enter the spacious interior. The
pillars were hung and the seats were covered with
blaok cloth, and there were no lights exoept-those
large candles which belong.to the Roman Catholic >
ritual, and whloh In considerable numbers snr
rounded the bier. The coffin, which is of polished
oak, studded with brass nails, was placed on a high
treEßle, and covered with a pall, upon whloh, at the
npper end, rested the cardinal’s hat of tho deoeased.
Around It on every side were numerous wax tapers,
and two members of the congregation InVhite sur
plices preserved the quadrangular enclosure within
which the ooffln was placed from the too near in
trusion of the crowd. The people passed along In
one continuous stream, but slowly and without any
confusion, and having each-satisfied him or herself
with a passing glance at the ooffin, passed quickly
.on; It took about half an hour from the time the
spectator took his place at the end of the queue
until he had seen the ooffin, and passed out of the
ohuroh Into Bloomfield street.

supposed to be so stately, and Bo self-sustained,

Another remarkable trait in his oharaater was, that
for the misfortunes of others, while he gave them
Ms deepest sympathy, he never shod a tear j bat at

coaches and about 400 or 600 carriages. Including
those of the ambassadors, Catholic peers, and gen

v SHERIDAN’S VICTORY IN Tfll TAMEI.
THE DEFEAT OF THE REBELS CONFIRMED
Washington, March B.—lt is stated that infor
mation has been received from Winchester, confirm
ing the news brought into General Grant’s lines by
deserters, of a victory achieved by Sheridan over
Early, in the valley. The battle took place near
Waynesboro, and resulted in the captnre by Sheri
dan of 40 rebel officers, 1,300 men, 8 cannon, and
over 100 wagons.
The report does not give the date of the battle-
Waynesboro is on the Virginia Central Railroad, at
the west base of the Bine 'Ridge, about fifteen miles
from Staunton and twenty-five from Charlottesville.
News from JBlclimond Papers.
The Richmond papers of Monday, Marsh 5, am at
hand. They contain no military news of Impor
tance either from North Carolina or Virginia.
The Richmond Enquirer.ot Monday, in the course
a long editorial, says: “The country tarns in
disgust iruF Congress. For four months it has sat
in Richmond, and day after day -w»2? BSe 'l ffll-
Utary strength of the Confederacy dffitidHfig &wa?,
and though General Lee has appealed te it and
implored it to ueo the great military strength of ne
groes for the defence of oar country, yet to this date
of the session It has wholly failed and refused to
ftdopt this measure Tor the salvation or the country. »
Again it says: “No convention is now wanted in
Virginia. A convention will not fight, hut it might
run away. Aye, U might oapltulate when that sad
alternative Bhali eome. Gen. Lee Is the proper con
vention. He is the best judge of oar Bltnation. No
convention Is needed, for what does State sove
reignty need in convention. Has not State sove
reignty been the weakness of onr cause 1 Our cause
to-day needs power.”
The Rlohmond Sentinel, of Monday, gays: “ Both
Houses of the Virginia Legislature have concurred
in resolutions of instruction to onr Senators in Con
gress to support thepolloy of Introducing negroes as
soldiers In the field. The resolutions take the
broadest grounds. We trust that the Confederate
Senate will now aet without delay.”
In the rebel Congress the resolutions of the Gene
ral Assembly of North Carolina, protesting strong 7
ly against arming slaves in any emergency without
the consent of the States, were presented. A bill
was passed in the rebel- House to form volunteer or
ganizations out of such persons Ware not liable to
military duty. ’

Nbwbubw, N. 0., March I.—lntelligence from
North Carolina papers indicates that both the
Unionists and rebels are concentrating their foroes
in her borders for the final struggle.
A Raleigh paper says the people or that city will
hear the guns #f the great and last battle of the
American rebellion, and that “ the traditionary
grounds of tbe old North State will be the com.
mon grave-yard of State rights and State, lines,
without which no attempt at secession oonld -have
been made. Tbq existence of State lines trill al
ways be a snfficlent pretext to prompt the local In
terests of one section to revolt against tbe Govern
ment, If the other seotlons refuse to sacrifice their
local interests. _ ■
“AH history demonstrates the faot that .personal
interest Is paramount to love'of country, and even
life itself. Hence, to obliterate these looal dangers
we must abolish State lines, which will, give us a
central head, the magnet to wMeh all looal interest
will be attracted; a republican government in
which will lie the embodiment of free institutions;
a country In which the people cannot ran riot and
plunge into extremes under the cloak of demo

THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1866.
REBEL REPORTS OF A FIGHT AT CHESAW,
Alleged English Commissioner in Bebeldom—
[Spatial Despatch, to The Press. ]
Full files of Richmond papers of the Bth have been
received at this bureau. They are almost entirely
destitute of news. .The Examiner says there were
two notable reports yesterday (6th) from Fayette*
vllle, N. O.—one a telegram that there had been
fighting at Oheraw, In whloh Sherman was defeated
or invested, and was retiring towards Charleston.
A verbal revision of this, brought hy a railroad pas
senger, was that the affair at oheraw was one of
cavalry, in which Hampton had thrashed Kilpat
rick.
The other pieouf news was dated Fayetteville,
end was to the ffiot that a Bnpposed commissioner
from England, Hon. Thomas Connelly, a member
of the British Parliament, wee there en route for
Richmond, Mr. Connelly is the member from Do
negal in the House of Commons.- We know no rea
son to suppose that he has any other designs in the
Confederacy than those of an ordinary tourist.
There is nothing important to report bn the lines
around Richmond and Petersburg. Grant is sup
posed to have sent his cavalry into the valley,aj6
our scouts have been unable for some days past to
find any of it beyond scouting and foraging parties'
sent from the jrear.
THE CANADIAN PABSPOBT ORDER HEBCINDED
Mutual explanations have taken place between
thcGovomments of Groat Britain and the United
States, which have resulted in a rescinding of the
passport order of the irth of last December, so for
as relates to the provlnoe of Canada,', and in an un
derstanding that under the present olroumstano'ts
end notwltbstandlng the, notice lately given In that
respect, the naval force of the United. States upon
the upper lakes shall be the same whloh was stipu
lated by the treaty of April, 181 T.
The following is the proqiftmfttiOß on the subject
of passports: , , •* ■
Whereas, pursuant to the order of the President
of tho United States, directions were issued from
this Department, under date of December "H, jsot
requiring passports from aU travellers entering the
United States, except immigrant passengers di
reetly mitering an Amerloan port as a poogjo from
a foreign country. -
But whereas, information has recently been re
ceived which affords reasonable ground to expset
that her Britannic Majesty’s Government and the
executive and legislative branches of the’Govern
ment of Canada have taken, and will continue to
take such steps as may be looked for from a friendly
neighbor, and will be effectual towards preventing
hostile Incursions from the Canada territories Into
tho United Slates—
The President directs that from and after this
date the order above referred to requiring passports
shall he modified, and go much thereof as relates
to persons entering this country from Canada Shall
be rescinded, saving and referring the order-ill all
other respects in full force. . .

Mr. DAY 18, of Kentucky, addressed the Senate sgsinst
the admission 01 Mr. Snow to a seat. ' .
fceveial messages In writing were received from the
President, whereupon 1
Mr. 6DMISEB moved that the Senate go inty executive

Mr. LANE* of Kansas, said he would dm! like to have
a vote on the'question. pending....
Mr. GRIMES* of lowa, sutgested that the .Senate *0
Into executive session, and refer the communication
from the President. They could then, In oped session,
resume the consideration of the Arkansas question.
Mr LANS, of Kansas, acquiesced in this suggestion.
The Senate then went into secret session, and after a
short time spent therein the doors were re-opened,
when ' •«
Mr. DAYIS resumed his remarks, saying that though
the Supreme Court differed on some points, they unani
mously agreed that, this being a civil war, the united
States are entitled to all and every belligerent right, as
if a foreign war existed between separate "’and Inde
pendent nations.
ThePresidest. Congress, and the Supreme Court have
recognized this to be a war in which belligerent rights
attach to the United States. This led him to the con
clusion that the applicant for a seat here coming from
the ineurteeUonary State of Arkansas, which by the
Preiident’s proclamation, the acts of Congress, and-the
decision of the Supreme-Court, was declared to be a
portion of the party tothe civil war, together with every
resident of Arkansas. is by the law of satidns and our
own. an alien enemy to the Government of the United
States and the inhabitants thereof. Was this applicant
more entitled toaseafetbau would bs Bobert Toombs,
from Georgia, should the latter present credentials from
that State This would be so unauthorized and con*
trary to right, that then would not be a/solitary dis
puting voice in rejecting the application/' „
Mr. LANE, of Santas, in reply said: The Executive
Department; aud.the Senate haa recognised the State of
Arkansas by.the appointment therein of United mates
judges, attorneys, and marshals. ■,* .
Mr DAVIS resuming, said Ms position was this: Ar?
kaneas, by the Prerident** proclamation,and the acts
ol Gongreßß is declared to be a State In Insurrection, and
to remove her from that position the same authority
must formally declare she is not in a state of insurrec
tion, but in amity with the United States, and, there
fore entitled tob*> treated as a estate lathe Union. No
such action as that has taken place, and,ithejrdfore, Ar
kansas is still a State in rebellion, „/ „ ~
Mr TRUMBULL said he did not see any difficulty in
receiving an? respectful paper, as thsiebr toe Seaate
did not commit Itself to the object proposed to be acoom*
pliibed. . i
Mr. . SUMNER, raid :th«re were three points which
mifiht severally be .decided: , First, to refuse to re
ceive the credentials; second, to receive and lay them
on the table, and -third, 10 receive and refer
them. He was free to.say he was bompletely indiffer
ent as to the cor rso the Senate should take, but a refu
sal to 1* celve them has this remit. It is our duty when
the public demands, to see that the /Treasury is not
needlessly exposed to draft It *rak notorious that
when claimants present themselves here they, through
their next jriend, like the Senator from Kansas, sue
eteiin drawing from the Treasury in the shape of
compesß&cioti **d mileage, which, as ia the case .ol Ar*
kan*a* w«*ld amount to a considerable sum.
Mr. LANE replied that when he hlmseU came here as
a claimant in 1666, to represent the fr*e State organise
tlon under the Topeka Convention, big credentials were
received by the pro-slavery Democratic Senate, and
although he was not admitted to a seat here, be did not"
follow up his application" by asking; for pay andfrile-
R *Mr SUMNER of Massachusetts.. We knew the Be>
n&tor-to-be an honorable man, and that he represented
a great cause, which did not sufferdn his hands.:
Mr. LANE. That cause originated.and gave strength

Mr. SUMNER said he was not insensible to the eau»e
the Senator at that time represented, nor was he insea*
slide to the rights of loyal citizens anywhere, bat the
Senator had no patent right to sensibility. _ This was
zot the time for dltemsion *’ Soffioieat unto the day
was tie eyiLthereof. 1 ’ He had thought It tope his duty
to suggest that the Senate pat its foot on this matter or
xrilefige acd compensation. He referred to the fact that
the mileage of the Senators from Louisiana and those
from Arkantaswould be about $8 009. 11 .
Mr. LANE said that there was another applicant to be
included.
Mr. SUMNER replied Then still more would be
drawn from the Treasury. He appealed to Mr. Howard
to withdraw his objection to the reception of the eredeu*
Hale and allow them to go to the Committee on the Ju
diciary, with the understandmgthat they shall undergo
examination.
Mr. HOWARD, of Michigan, said if he understood
the question the Senate oogfctnot to receive the creden
tial*, because the so-called State of Arkansas did not,
as they all know, exist in law or in. fact. He wonld,
however, —
Mr SUMNER wished to offer some Instructions to the
Committee on the Judiciary* to which Mr. LASTS ob
jected.
9he credentials were then referred to the Committee
asked the reference of his resolu
tion, which was read for information, as follows:
Jiesolved, That where a State has been declared to ba
in insurrection nopercon can be recognized as a Senator
irom such State or as a claimant of a seat as a Senator
from such Btale, until after the occurrence of three
several condition*:
First. The cessation of all armedfhostiUty to.the Halted
States within the limits of such States.
Secondly. The adoption by finch State of a constitu
tion and government republican in form and not rapus
oent to the Constitution and laws of the United States
and
Thirdly. An act of Congress declaring that the people
of such States are entitled to representation in the Con
, gress of the United States.
&*. Mr.LANE objected to the consideration of the resolu
tion, and therefore it weet-over.
The CHAIR laid before the Senate a message from the
President, a letter enclosing a letter from the Secretary
of state. The Senate had requested the President to re
turn to them a joint resolution prohibiting the payment
of moneys to land grant railroads, and which had been
presented to the President for his approval by mtetike,
but from which he withheld his signature., The official
roily to the Siuate’s reqoe»t it in tubstauee as follows:
That the right of either Sonne at a subsequent Con
gress to recall any bill or resolution may be regarded
as questionable under the act of 1783, which makes no
provision for any case similar to that under considera
tion. The law requires copies sad originals of ail do*
cements to be filed in the State Department not other
wise provided for. To keep such papers rather than re
turn them to the Senate, has been the uniform practice
from the foundation of the Government.
Mr. CLAES, of Mew Hampshire, said the President
in this ma tter had acted wisely.
Hr. LANE. of Kansas, offered a resolution to pay the
claimants of seats from Arkansas and Louisiana. It
was referred to the Committee on Contingent Expenses.
On motion of Mr. WADS, the Senate then adjourned.

GREAT BRITAIN.
The London Times haß a leader on the official
communications in regard to the recent Conference.
It points significantly to Mr. Seward’s confession
that a combined effort at some extrinsic policy or
scheme was deliberately considered, and says that
alter this glimpse of American politics Parliament,
may, perhaps, approach the army and navy esti
mates with greater resignation. Tha article winds
upnsfollows: .
11 It must be conceded, however, that, on its own
showing, the North oomes the best oat of this affair.
It Is not despondent, It Is not doubtful of its own
strength or resources, it Is not prepared to oonoede
a jot on the Question of the Union, nor even on that
oi slavery. It is still consistent, and, If not oonfi
dent, is able to oonoeal Its distrust. It Is not enter
tained, or, at any rate, It haß nox been th'e first to
propose the expediency of a diversion in the direc
tion of Canada or Mexico, That suggestion is al
leged to have come from those who have already
done their best to drag us and others Into the war. ■
“On the other hand, though the Confederates
have betrayed the sentiments or a losing side, they
have not shown the slightest Indication of any dis
position to submit. They have reasserted their un
alterable resolution to fight to the laßt, and by re
jecting the proposal for arming their negroes
they have apparently proclaimed their una
bated confidence in the ordinary sources of their
military strength. Nor do the reports from the
armleß in the held appear uniformly or mainly un
favorable to their cause. * Thomas and Sherman, It
is true, are moving In strong forse, the one upon
Mobile and the other upon Columbia, without mnoh
prospect of effectual opposition bat-Lee and his
troops have once more indicted a bloody repulse
upon Grant, and a largo Confederate army is re
' ported as again preparing to Invade Tennessee. On
both sides,in short, the arbitrament of war ha j ijften
' acoepted afresh with fewer hope? ef peace, aad,
therefore, with more desperate determination. We
result, but it must be more evidentthan
ever that neutrality, If we are hat allowed to, main
tain It, is the only policy for England.”
In the House of Lords, on the 23d of February,
Lord Wharnciiffa asked the Government what was
the position of the Question of the settlement of a
Crown colony in the northwest territory of British
America, and when some report would be made to
the House npon the subject. He stated that the
territory between Upper Canada and the Rooky
Mountains was at the present moment of great im
portance, and it was a matter of considerable into
zest to know what coarse was to be pursned wlth
mepect to it. Two .methods had been proposed,
nßntfty: that the territory should be united to Ca
nada, or erected into a separate colony. His own
opinion was, that It would be unwise to unite so
large a tract of land, and one so capable of Im
provement, to Canada, and that the best course
would be to erect it into an Independent settlement.
EsrJ Granville, In reply, stated that various pro
posals had been made by the Hudson Bay Company
lor the settlement of the Red River territory, and
counter proposals had also been made by her Ma
jesty’s Government, but no arrangement had been
concluded. Recently, a further proposal had been
made by tbe Hudson Bay Company, which had
been sent to the Canadian Government, with a re
quest that they would take Immediate steps for de
fining thA boundaries between their territory and
that of the Hudson Bay Company. In the present
state of the negotiations for the confederation of the
British American Provinces, it wonld bs Injudicious
to decide anytMng with regard to the erection of
the Red River settlement Into an independent oo
lony.
After a few words from the Eariof Alrlls, the sub
ject dropped.
In the House of Commons, on the 24th, Mr. Wat
kins seked whether any and what representations
had breh received from the American Government
is reference to the passport system and the other
regulations tending to non intercourse, introduced
by order of Mr. Seward, on the Canadiaivfrontler.
Mr. Cardwell said the regulations in Question
were iisued in view of the alarm which prevailed
in reference to certain proceedings whlci l took place
on the frontier, and which entailed great inconve
nience npon the Government of the United States.
He hfid not entered into any correspondence on the
subject, but he hoped that as soon as the mischle.
ceased the remedy would also he allowed to cease,
Mr. Layard confirmed the statement that the
Emperor of the French had been requested to medi
ate between Montevideo and Brasil.
A lengthy debate took .place on the adoption or
measures to check the deollne of the population in
Ireland, bnt no aotlon was had.
The Board of Trade returns for the month of De

FRANCE.
The Parley correspondent of the London Time)
writes ns follows: “It Is affirmed that besides the
denial which appeared In the Monileur of the ru
mored cession to France of a portion of the Mexican
territory,assurances have been given to the Amerflan
Government that no snob, cession has been made,
and that.the transaction consists of nothing more
than a lien on the produce of certain mines until
the expenses incurred by the Frenoh expedition are
fully liQuidated. . -
“ I hear also that the reportwhteh attributed to the
Emperor the design or soon recognising the inde
pendence of the Confederate States is unfounded.
It Is denied, by (Frenoh) official people, credited by
very few, if any, ol the Federals, and, to their re
gret, disbelieved by Confederates; What may be
passing In the recesses of the Imperial mind, no one
can sav with anything like certainty—ministers no
more than anybody else.
“The Emperor, It is true, Is somewhat partial to
surprises, and may do that or anything else when
least expeoted; but for the present the report of a
recognition Is hut little credited.”
The weekly statement of the Bank of Francs

The Minister of State had addressed a letter to

stating that no representative of the Government
will henceforth be present at the sitting of the Com
mittee until the Lower House has decided whether
the vote on the Budget 0f1865 and 1866 is to be taken
upon the basis of an understanding between the
House and the Government, whereupon the Finan

Herr Ton Schmerling to the chairman of the com

BOWS ABB KAIBINO OITB QUOTA.
The very pleasant but unresulting egotism with
which we nave heretofore amused ourselves
whenever the matter of the draft has been brought
before us, has been suddenly and rudely cheeked hy
the appearance of a circular signed by the Mayor
and Supervisors, which at cnee reveals the actual
position of affairs. It sets forth, the inadequacy or
the dally number of enlistments, and dwells pa
thetically upon the fact that the capitalists will not
subscribe for the county bonds whloh are to provide
bounties for volunteers. The capitalists “ have been
unwilling to aid to the extent of furnishing the
necessary means to pay the men raised.” It is
charged that the people are “lukewarm,”
while the modest committee blows its own
trumpet fondly, and recites its own deeds of
patriotism and self-denial.- The truth is that
the capitalists have borne thns for the whole
burthen of famishing the quota, so to.speak. Oar
moneyed men pay all the bounties through taxes. If
they could now close their eves to the duty whtch
they owetbe Government they weald be somewhat
slow In saving from the draft those | men without
capital who burned their houses and threatened their
lives In July, 1863. "We have yet 13,000- men to
raise—abont 13 000 more than we shall raise, unless
“ something turns up.”
