The seeond measure of importance passed,
was the Rouse bill to aid Missouri in emancipat
ing her slaves. Previous to its passage, an
amendment, offered. by Mr. Sumner, reducing
the amount to be paid for each slave front three
hundred dollars to two hundred, was adopted.
The following was the vote on the final passage

having been amended so as to restrict the num
ber of new Brigadiers to 20, and Major Gener—
als to 50, was passed by a vote of 22 yeas to 14
nays.
The House, on Thursday, passed the bill to pro
tide W temporary government, for the Territory
of Montana, which lies contiguous to the State
of Oregon, and Territory of Washington. A
motion by Mr. Cox, of Ohio, to strike out the
proviso prohibiting slavery in the new Territory,
was disagreed to—you 19, nays 90: and the bill
passed by a vote of 86 yeas to 40 nays.
THE LATE AFFAIR AT CHARLESTON.—The in
telligence brought by the British prize steamer
Princess Royal, which arrived at Philadelphia
last Sunday, considerably reduces the value of
the story concerning the opening of the block
ade at Charleston. It appears from the state
meat whiclithe master of this vessel makes that
the blockade was not at any time legally raised.
The Captain of the Princess Royal, immediately
upon hercapture, went ashore and communicated
to the enemy all the information he possessed of
a reported attack upon Charleston, and thus
precipitated the raid upon our vessels by the
rebel rams. It does not dppear, however, that
any of the union vessels were sunk. The fifer
milts was saved by the stratagem of her captain.
The Keystone State, though badly disabled, *as
not lost. Both of these vessels arrived at Port
Royal and will soon be repaired. It is claimed
that the blockade was not abandoned for any
length of time; and such will probably prove to
be the fact—the rebel statements being un
doubtedly very much exaggerated.
A LILLIPUTIAN Wannteu.—The marriage of
General Tom Thumb (Mr. Charles S. Stratton)
to Miss Lavinia*Warren, was solemnized in Grace
Church, New York, on Tuesday last, the 10th
inst. The gentleman is twenty-five years of age,
thirty-one inches high, and weighs twenty-nine
pounds; the lady is twenty-one years old and
thirty:two inches in height. There wee greet
excitement in New York on the occasion, and the
papers devote a large space to particulars. Miss
Minnie Warren, the bride's sister, .acted as
bridesmaid, and little Commodore Nutt as
groomsman. Miss Minnie is sixteen years of
age, twenty-five inches high and weighs nine
teen pounds. The Commodore is twenty-one
years of age, twenty-nine inches in height, and
weighs twenty pounds. A small affair to make
SO ranch fuss about.
Tun COTTON CROP OF THE SOIITH.—The - Britielk
consuls at Charleston and Savannah have for
warded reports to Earl Russell on the subject of
the stock of cotton on hand in the Southern
States. Mr. Bunch, at Charleston, says there
are four Millions, two hundred and fifty thous
and bales of the staple which can be made availa
ble in Europe witen the rebel "ports are opened."
The crop of 186 1 2 had added largely to the supply.
Mr. Melynenx, at Savannah, says there are only
three million, five hundred thousand bales of
cotton in the southern States. Ile claims a de
duction of one million of bales which have either
been destroyed voluntarily by the Union troops,
or carried out through the blockade.
jOIMPII. Cann, Esq., a wall-known eiti.
sen of Lebanon,. died in that borough on Mon
day morning last, of dropsy, aged 66 years and
11 months. He was the founder, and for many
years editor of the Lebanon Courier, and from
1844 to 1848 held -the office of Prothonotary of
Lebanen•county. He was subsequently State
Librarian and a 11..8. Mail Agent on the Penn
sylvania Railroad ; and on his return to Lebanon,
was sleeted a Justice of the Peace, which office
he held at the time of his death. lie was a kind
hearted man;a genial companion, and possessed a
large fund of general information on legal, liter
ary and political topics.

In Philadelphia, before JudiC6 Lowrie, of the
Supreme Bench, for interfering with -the publi
cation of that paper during the summer of 1861,
Without due process of law. Judge Lowrie
charged the jury that such officers had no right
to interfere with private property except in ac
cordance with the Constitution and laws of the
land. It is a righteous verdict, and should have
been heavier.
CAPTURZ OP DIORGAN'I4 GUIBBILLAB.-A dis
patch from Nashville brings news that the Union
forces at Lebanon, Tenn., on the Bth inst., cap
tured 600 Rebels, most of them bf Morgan's
Verrill, commend—among them the noted Ele
lessionist, Paul Anderson.
FRENCH MEDIATION
The rumor, brought by the last stosmer, that
the Emperor Napoleon had sent official instruc
lions to the French Minister at Washington, to
suggest that Commissioners from the Federal
Government and from the Rebels he appointed
to meet on neutral ground to confer upon terms
of peace and. mutual concession, is confirmed by
the publication of the correspondence between
the French Minister for Foreign Affairs and the
American Minister to France (Mr. Dayton) and
Secretary Seward, which was sent to the Senate
on Thursday, in compliance with a resolution of
that body. The proposal by France, of a Con
gress or Conference between the United States
and "the authorities which may represent the
States of the South," is made by M. Drouyn de
Vitus in a note to M. Mercier, and this was
presented in a personal interview by M. Mercier
to the Secretary of State. " Reciprocal com
plaints," says the French Minister, "would be
examined in this meeting." The North and the
.soutli would "seek out by these deliberations
whether the interests of the two sections arc de
finitively incurable, whether separation is an
extreme which can no longer be avoided," or
whether the ties and memories that hare united
them are "not more powerful than tho causes
which have placed arms in the hands of the two
populations." Or, in other words, according to
Mr. Dayton's undeistanding of the proposition,
the Commissioners appointed were "to treat with
the South ler peace and for the Union if possi
ble; if not possible, for such terms of separation
as may eventually be 'agreed upon." Mr. Sew
ard replies at length in a dispatch to Mr. Day
ton, dated the 6th inst. Ile criters upon a dis
cussion of the preposition, and considering it in
the light in which it is represented by Mr. Day
ton, rejects it on the
,ground that this Govern—
ment can entertain no proposition for a dissolu—
tion of the Union, which he holds would be in
dignantly rejected by the people; that the
insurgent chiefs would reject any offer of peace
.on any other terms; that with such chiefs we are
bound to hold no conference; and that finally in
the United States Congress there exists already
a constitutional forum for debates between the
alienated parties, and the adjustment of their
difficulties, having advantages over any other
that could be organized,
IMPORTANT PETITION
The following is a copy of the Memorial pre
sented in the State Senate on the 3d inst., by
Mr. CLYMER. It is a dignified, but an earnest
protest against the arbitrary interference, by
military officers of the Federal Government, with
the personal rights and liberties of citizens of
this Connuonweath, in wanton contempt and
violation of the Constitution. of the United States,
'the Constitution of our own State, and the laws
that have been•enacted in accordance with them:
Ills a sad evidence of the evil times upon which
the country has fallen, when the powers of the
General Government are prostituted and abused
to such an extent as to compel citizens to seek
the protection of State Governments against
them. We hear muoh, at this time, about "a
divided North," and many lamentations upon the
effects of such division; but nothing has done so
much to produce it as the very acts of oppression
and tyranny against which this Memorial so in
dignantly protests :
To the honorable the Senate and House of ilepresen
tatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in
General Assembly met
The memorial of the undersigned, citizens of
said Commonwealth, respectfully reproseufa
That since the commencement of the present
war, many acts of gross outrage and wrong have
been inflicted upon citizens of this State by per
sona holding office or appointment under the
United States, and by virtue (as alleged) of au
thority from the Executive DeWitt/cut thereof,
which, in the opinion of your memorialists, re
quire thorough exposure and condemnation, and
the establishment of adequate safeguards against
the recurrence of similar acts in future.
Your memorialists particularly allude to the
erne/3 made of citizens in civil life, without due
process of law, by Marshals and Provost Mar
shals of the United States, or by the Military
Governor of the District of Columbia, and (in
many cases) their conveyance beyond the State
limits to foreign fortresses and prisons, followed
by their confinement therein for uncertain
periods, measured by the mere discretion of of&
Mal poorer.
These arrests, made in most daring contempt
of the Constitution of the United States, and of
the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania, and in utter derogation of those prin.
ciples of British Liberty which were brought to
the new world by our ancestors, and left to us
by them as a most sacred legacy. challenge most
thorough investigation and outspoken rebuke.
And their occurrence, exhibiting the fact that
our citizens are not secure against being kid—
napped and carried beyond the jurisdiction of
our tribunals and laws, proves that some steps
should be taken by the State Government to
prevent like outrages in future.
Your memorialists therefore pray,
That the facts in the several cases of illegal
arrest in this State, under color or pretence of
authority from the Federal Executive, may be
investigated and put 0 official form for the con
templation of the people;
That the Governor of the Commonwealth, noon
whose is charged the official duty of taking care
that the- laws be faithfully executed, be called
upon in due and respectful form to communicate
to the two Rouses any information within his
power in relation Ito the said unlawful arrests,
and also to State what steps he has taken, if any,
to defend our citizens againet them
That if, upon due inquiry, it shall appear that
our State laws are deficient in not providing
our citizens with prompt and efficient protection
against arbitrary arrest or kidnapping, the ne—
cessary statutes securing such protection may be
forthwith enacted.
And lastly, that a formal protest by the Gen—
era! Assembly, on behalf of the . people of this
Commonwealth, against the arrests aforesaid;
and an explicit, firm, dignified declaration by the
said General Assembly on the same behalf, that
future arrests of a similar character, involving
contempt of constitutional law snit of the most
sacred rights of personal liberty, will not be sub
mitted to by this State, may be placed upon the
journals of the two Houses, and copies thereof
he transmitted to the President of the United
States and to both Houses of Congress, to the
end that it may be known of all that this State
is devoted with unfaltering zeal to the principles
of freedom, and will consent to no precedents
which can be cited hereafter in defence of arbi
trary power,
All which is respectfully submitted by your
memorialists.
STUART'S RAID INTO PENNSTLVARIA.—The cit
izens of Adams county, Pa., have petitioned

MILITARY ARRESTS,
SPECIIL MESSAGE BY GOV. CUBTIN
EXSCUTLVC CILAMItgIi,
11.113.1tMatIftd, Feb. 12, Dita
To the Senate and Rouse of Representative, of the
Commonwealth of Pennvlvania:
GENTLKMEN: I desire to call your attention to
a subject of moment. When the present infamous
anti God - condemned rebellion broke out, Con
gress was not in session, and the occurrence of
such a state of things not having been foreseen
in former times, no adequate legislation had
been had to meet it. At the same time- -the life
of the country being at stake—it appeared nec
essary that some meant ebould be taken to con+
trel the small band of traitors in the loyal States,
so as to prevent them from machinations which
might be injurious, if not fatal to the national
cause. Under these circumstances, the General
Government resorted to the system of military
arrests of dangerous persons, and having thus
commenced acting under it, have continued (at
long intervals in this State) to pursue it. The
Government of the United States 'acts directly
on individuals, and the State Executive has no
Authority or means to interfere with arrests of
citizens of the United States, made under ttli
authority of that Government. Every citizen of
Pennsylvania is . also a citizen of the United
States, and owes allegiance to them, as well as
(subject to the provisions of the Constitution of
the United States) ho owes it to Pennylvania. '
If he be unlawfully deprived of his liberty his
only redress is to be had at the hands of the
judiciary. In ouch times as the present, it is
more than ever necessary to preserve regularity
in official action. Great efforts have been, anti
are, perhaps, still being made, by persons blinded
or ill-disposed, to throw us into a state a revo
lution ; that is to say, to create anarchy and
confusion, and ultimately to bring about the de.
struction of life and property among us. Any
irregular, much more illegal, interference by
your executive, with matters which, by the otai4
stitution, are not entrusted to his cognizance, and
especially any such interference with the action
of the executive of the United States or with
the functions of the judiciary, would be, in the
existing crisis, emphatically dangerous, it would
have a direct.revolutionary tendency—in faei, it
would be to commence a revolution,
The courts of juts ice are open, and, no doubt,
all personal wrong can be properly redressed in
due course of law. Ido not know how many
arrests of the kind hereinbefore referred to have
been made in Pennsylvania, as I have at no time
been privy to the making of them, but I believe'
they have been few. I was under the impression
that there would be no necessity for more of
them, otherwise I might have referred to them
in my annual message; but recent events
having shown that this impression was erro
neous, I deem it my duty now to invite your at
tention to the subject.
The contest in which we are engaged is one
for the preservation of oug• own liberty and wel
fare. The traitors at the South hate the great
body of our people, who are loyal, and hate and
bitterly despise the few who are ready for sub
mission. Unless the rebellion be effectually sup
pressed we must lose our pride of country, the
larger portion of our territorf and the elements
not only of greatness, but of prosperity, and
even of security to life, liberty, and properly.
Notwithstanding all this, it is, I fear, an un
doubted truth that a few wretches among us,
false to all our free and loyal traditions; false
to the memory of their fathers, and to the rights
of their children ; false to the country which
has given them birth and protected thorn, only
stopping short of the technical offence of trea
son, in the very madness of mischief are actively
plotting to betray us, to poison and mislead the
minds of our people, by treacherous misrepre
sentations, and to so aid and comfort the rebels
chat our fate may be either to abandon the free
North, and become hangers-on-of a Government
founded in treachery, fraud and insane ambition,
or, at best, to diesolte the Union under which
we have prospered, lend to break this fair and
glorious country into fragments, which will be
cursed by perpetual discords at home, and by 1
the contempt and ill-usage of foreign nations,
from which we shall then be too weak to vindi
cate ourselves,
That such offences should be duly punished,
no good also eau doubt; and that proper leg
islation by Congress is required for that purpose,
can be as little doubted. Whether such legisla
tion should include a suspension of the Writ of
habeas corpus in any and what parts of the
country, is a question which belongs exclusively
to the legislative authorities of the United States,
who, under the' Constitution, have the right to
determine it. That great writ ought not to be
suspended, unless to the wisdom of Congress
the present necessity shall appear to be urgent.
Therefore, I recommend the passage of a joint
resolution, earnestly requesting that Congress
shall forthwith pass laws defining and punishing
offences of the class above referred to, and pro
viding for the fair and speedy trial by an impar•
tial jury, of persons charged with such offences
in the loyal and undisturbed States, so that
the guilty may justly suffer and the innocent be
relieved. A. G. CURTIN.
TIM CONTRABANDS TO BE DRAFTBD.—Senator
Sumner's bill to raise additional soldiers for the
service of the United States, provides that all
able-bodied males between the ages of eighteen
and forty-five set free by the act of August 6,
1861, or by that of July 17, 1862, or by the re
cent proclamation of the President, or by any
other legal or competent authority exercised in
suppressing the rebellion, shall ho enrolled,
armed and equipped as a military force of the
United States, to a number not exceeding three
hundred thousand, to be paid eleven dollars per
month, one-half each month and the remainder
at the end of the service; to be officered and
commanded by persons appointed and commis-
Stoned by the President; each private at the
end of his service to be entitled to ten acres'of
lima, to be used as a homestead, and each officer
to twenty-five acres. Section third authorizes
the voluntary enrolment of persons of African
descent in any part of the United States.
PNACE MOVE:IIIMT IN ILLINOIS.--The movement
to settle the present difficulties by a convention
of representatives from the free States is pro
gressing in the West. The Illinois Legislature
has appointed a eammitiee to confer with tgose
of Indiana, Kentue . ky and other States, at Louis
ville, in the month of March, the foremost man
in that committee being a strong adherent of Mr.
Lincoln, and heretofore a staunch Republican
Mr. Logan, the gentleman in question, it ap
pears, took a prominent part in the NOvember
election, by urging all his friends to vote the
Democratic-ticket, in order to save the country.
Many other eminent poi tietene of Republican
proclivities have been appointed on the same
committee. The. measure was opposed, but in
vain, by the abolitionists in the Legislature. It
is expected that the States of Ohio, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and New York will combine in this
movement.
PII&CE PROPOSITIONS IN INDIANA.—There are
IMO propositions for tho holding of peace con
ventions before the Legislature of Indiana. One
is for a meeting of the Legislatul•es of Indiana,
Kentucky, Ohio and Illinois, at Frankfort, Ken
tucky, on the 22(1 of February, and the other is,
that if Congress shall fail to call a national con
vention, the State of Indiana shall invite every
State in the federal Union, including the so
called Confederate States, to meet delegates from
the State of Indiana in convention at Nashville,
Taltle#Sed,..lll the first Monday in June, 1861.
Each of said States to send as many delegates to
said convention as shall equal the number of
Senators snit Representatives to which such
State is entitled in the Congress of the United
Staten.
Mr Gm. ROSIECRASS has made an official re•
port of the rebel attack on Fort Donelson, on the
sth inst. The attack was made by 4,000 men
and eight pleoes of artillery. Our force was
only 800. The Rebels made several charges, but
were repulsed with great loss, amounting . to
more than 100 killed and 300 prisoners. Another
account says that already 145 Rebels had been
buried. Our lose was 12 killed and 30 wounded.
