The Legislature is now busily engaged in doing tlie work which bUould hiive been done two months ngo. The memljrra nre now, however, pushing business an rapidly ns they can. To-day, in the Senate, there was a spicy debate on a resolution to fn crcuse the p;vy of the soldiers. The Unir.n members were, of course, in favor of the measure, but some of the so-called demo crat, in order to curry favor with the sol diers, whom they refused the .privilege, of voting, offered nu amendment, that the sol diers should be paid in gold. This was, of course, intended to bring thegrcenbacks into disrepute. No soldier, and certainly no good patriot, ever refused or objected to the greenbacks, and until they complain or re fuse the national currency, it is neither wise or patriotic to attempt to predjudice them against a currency, which every loyal man should sustain by every act and deed, and, under all circumstances. The speeches of Messrs. Johnson, Lowry, Fleming, and AS'ilson, were most pointed and severe. Mr. "Wilson, particularly, rebuked their pretend ed loyalty, as he termed it, and told tlictn .that history would do them justice, and as sign them a lower position than tlie cowboys of the Revolution. In the Senate, Mr. Johnson, of Ly coming, called up the bill giving to our sol diers the right to vote, which was put through by a strictly party vote. Numerous amendments were ottered to cmbarras the bill, but all wefts passed ; the vote standing 1C to 15. Mr. Johnson deserves the grati tude of every soldier in the country iu this matter. J-gT-TiiK Qi:j,ta ok Pennsylvania. There have been several erroneous state ments respecting the quota of Pennsylvania tinder the three culls of the President. The last statement, which appears in one of the very unreliable despatches from Washing ton, on the subject of quotas of the different State, did great injustice to Pennsylvania, and we are glad to.sec that Gov. Curtin at once dispatched au agent to Washington to have it corrected. Instead of our State be ing deficient in seventy-four thousand men, us given in that despatch, information was received at Harrisburg, on Tuesday last, that the real figures under the late call, are sixty-nine thousand instead of ev.enty-fmir ; and the probabilities are that after the sub ject shall have received that attention at the hands of the authorities which it de serves, it will be found that the quota of Pennsylvania, under the call for five hun dred thousand men, hasjecn filled, and that we will have a credit of from ten to twelve thousand under the late call for two hun dred thousand. This places our State far ahead of New York. EaeniKAn Fki.ix Grcndt '.Hon. Felix Grundy, U. S. Senator from Tennessee, was h second edition of General Jackson, and one of his alaunehest supporters throughout his administration and at all times. In one of his speeches, made in Congress during the last war between the United States and Great Britain, when there were cop perheads as there are now, he describes one lifter this fashion : "An individual goes over joins the ranks of the enemy and raises his own arms a jjaiust his country ; fie is clearly guilty of treason under the Constitution, the overt net being consummated. Suppose the same individual not to go over to the enemy but remain in hit uicn neighborhood, and by menus vf hit influence to dittuade ten men from en titling ; I ask in which case has he benelit fd the enemy and injured the country jnost r Again, he says, in answering the question, '"Whom do I accuse I accuse him, sir, who professes himself to be the friend of his country aud enjoys its protection, yet proves, himself by his actions to be the friend of its enemy ; 1 accuse him who sets himself sys tematically to weaken the arm of the Gov ernment by destroying its credit and damp ening the ardor of its citizens ; 1 accuse him who has used his exertions to defeat the loan aud prevent the young men of his country from going forth to fight their country's battles; 1 accuse him who an nounces with joy the disasters of our arms, and sinks into melancholy when he hears of mir success. Such men I cannot consider friends to this nation." t-iif We find the following in tho Cop perhead papers: "A War democrat is one that acts as u ,'ierrilta for the Abolitionists." If that is so, then it follows that a Prate democrat is one that acts ns a guerrilla for the rebels, or, iu other words, one who is a traitor to his country. 1-17" There arc a number of editors w ho touaUutly orfsuil the 1 'resilient as "llluek Abe," and General Hutler us a "beast," while they say nothing disrespectful of Jiff. Davis. If they are not dialoyul men, but democrats, Mat should like to know by what right or virtue, they are entitled to that dis tinction. - - - I7"Thb La.k Cou Ykihi.kv. An Application from Gen.

A Fortress Monroe correspondent of the Boston Journal gives this sketch of General Butler's operations : "With loyal men General Butler Is very popular. If ho is rough, severe and unaun able, it is only w ith those who show a re gard for our government while they are traitors at heart. He has a faculty of un masking these hypocrites, and for them lie has no favors. He holds court in primitive style." The doors of his office stand wido open. As iu the time of Solomon, all who have a cause bring it directly to his pres ence. He decides it at once. The Pool of Siloam had not a more variegated patronage than can be seen around the headquarters of General Butler. Cases of assault and bat tery, poor colored women wronged by their landlords, petty broils, parties seeking to be from arrest, with the higher and the more important and responsible duties of his trust, keep him busy from early mornfoftcn, till midnight. Never wearied clear, cool and sharp, with ready wit, clear sense of justice, a courage equal to any emergency, with a perfect Knowledge ot uumnn nature, learned in his practice as n criminal lawyer all enables him to dispatch business w ith amazing rapidity find to make n recreation of what would crush most men. A speci men or two will illustrate this. "In the plainest possible at'.ire ho sits in his olliee, without show or parade, with genuine courtesy, but with the air of a man nut to be trilled with. He receives one after another of the vast throng that come to his headquarters day by day. First comes in au old man. His daughter is under arrest as a spy. He assures the general that his daughter is innocent of the charge. He has papers to prove it. It is not right that his daughter should bo held on suspicion of such a crime. General Butler reads careful ly the affidavits put into his hands. He says : 'These papers only show that your daughter was loyal at n certain time. I have proof that her offence was committed after the time mentioned in these papers. I agree with you that the crime is a great One. 1 can't discharge your daughter with this accusation over her. I shall order her to be tried that her innocence may appear.' "Next comes a gentleriian about his son who is a prisoner at Richmond. He wants him exchanged. The General asks : 'How long has he been n prisoner ?' 'Tnirty days,' was the reply. 'I have eight hundred offi cers,' says General Butler, 'who have been in Richmond for a year or more. I appeal to you if your son was one of these eight hundred if you would think it right to leave him still longer in prison, and release one who had been in confinement only a few days.' The father replied : 'You are right, General Butler, but I want my boy.' "One other case. A Presbyterian minist er, iu the employ of the Christian Commis sion, called on the commanding general iu relation to the prisoners ut Point Lookout. Rebel prisoners were many of them sick and dying, and needed spiritual consolation. He asked that Dr. Junkin, father-in-law of Stonewall Jackson, might be appointed to visit them. 'Where is the post chaplain.?' the general asked. 'He is sick,' was the re ply, "and cannot attend to his duties,' 'Let him resign,' was the response. 'He is too faithful a servant of Christ to allow men to suffer for spiritual aid which he can't rend er. When he resigns, 1 will appoint Dr. Junkin to his place.' To this, of course, there could be no reply. The clergyman bowed himself out with his answer." THE LATE DEMOCRATIC STATE CON VENTION. The managers of the Democratic organi zation, of which Mr. Charles J. Biddlc was the elected head called a State Convention, and fixed Wednesday last as the day, and the Race-street "National Hall," in this city, as the place of meeting. Our readers who have noticed the proceedings of this body will have perceived that, as there were no candidates for State offices to name, the oc casion selected .was a most proper one to enunciate great purposes and principles. What a capital and tempting opportunity was this to turu the tide in favor of the De mocracy ; to show their devotion to the Go vernment; their hatred of the rebellion, fo mented and forced by the Southern leaders, (uow in arms against the Union,) who be trayed them ; their gratitude to the Demo cratic soldiers lighting for "the Union as it was aud the Constitution -as it is," (as the Democratic leaders toll us they are,) and, generally, to outbid the progressive war ele ment, and especially to put to shamo the "war Democrats," who, as we arc daily re minded, "have left the Democratic party , and joined the Abolitionists !" But w hat cau such citizens say one to the other, and what dare they say to their own consciences, when they come to contemplate the resolutions adopted by this State Con vention? We give them in full; for they are as infamous as they are brief: lietoleed, That as we have no State can didates to present to the people, and no is sues involved in the coming election other than those which affect the welfare and li berties of our sister States equally with ours, we leave it to our representatives ir7the Chi cago Convention to unite with the repre sentatives of tho other sovereignties of the North in embodying tho sentiment of the people in a declaration of principles, accept able to all the States on whom we rely to elect a President and bring back peace and union to this distracted laud. limited, Thut the Democracy of Pennsyl vania hereby cypress their prefcrance for the nomination of George IJ.

It was briefly announced, sometime 'icc, that the Union men rf Huntsville, Alabama, had held a meeting, at which Mr. Clemens and others delivered strong speeches against the rebellion and in favor of a return to tho Union.. In the Chicago Tribune ot Monday we find a full report of tho proceedings of an adjourned meeting of Unionists of Ala bama, held at Huntsville, on the l'JUi in stant, which is thus described. By order of General Logan, the military, although numbers of them were present as listeners, took no part in the proceedings. The deliberations and action of the meeting were these of Alabamians. Generally the men who participated were beyond middle ago men of wealth and of great respecta bility. But two speeches wero made, which I send vou in full. Of tho speukers I need say little by tho way of introduction to your readers Hon. Jere. Clemens is well knowu to all as a former Senator. Judge Hum phreys is one of the ablest members of the Southern bar, and was a del egate to the Charleston .Couventiou. SPEECH OF Mlt. fl.KMKNS. Mr. Clemens said : This is an a ijourued meeting from that held at this place on Saturday last, of which the country people did not have sufficient notice to attend. The object of the meeting was explained at tho Saturday meeting. I will restate it for the benefit of those who were not then present. The object of the meeting is the restoration of civil government to bring us law oud order to secure peace. Wc were hurried into revolution against our earnest protest. This people was for the Union. Madison county gave 1,000 ma jority against Secession, yet we were car ried away without support. We had no arms. Buchanan was in the Presidential chair. Dav was at last come, thank God, and we cau say that we take shelter under the Stars and Stripes. We propose to call upon the Governor ot the State to convene a nmnntion far thcirur- poie of rewinding the act of teeettion. How- tar the Governor will pay respect to our action I cannot say. To be candid, I think he will pay it none. In culliui; upon him, we avoid the charge of precipitancy, and follow the constitutional method. After that, we have the right to call upon our inherent rights to act for ourselves. We have the right to assemble in our capacity as citizens aud re-establish civil government for ourselves. Falsehood, fraud, and crime took us out of the Union. They told us that Secession was necessary to save slavery. During the ten years proceeding the rebellion, the State of Alabama had not lost ten slaves a year. We had rebellion, and the consequence now is, that there is not one man iu the State of Alabama who can say he has the title to a single nigger. Not all of us have a title to anything. Tho practical result is emancipa tion. Cotton, they said, was king would secure us recognition and independence. The result is, Confederate money is worth five cents on the dollar. They said thut civil liberty and State rights would be se cured by Secession. The first net of the Confederate Contrress deprived tho people of the right to select their Presideut. If a man owned twenty negroes hu was excused from military duty, If a mun hail teu starv ing children he was not. The mau who owned tho negroes could stay ut home with his wealth ; the man with starving children must leuve them uud go to the buttle field. You and I may have had some fear to the success ot the Contedercy. 1 hank God there is uow uo prospect of its succeed iug. WUAT JI DOK IU Ml'llUICVS SAID. Judge Humphreys followed in a long and able speech, iu the course of which he said : Alabama should at once rescind the Ordin ance of Secession. 1 urn confident wc shall then have as many years for getting good ridduncc of this institution us we want. As far us the execution of military orders on tho subject is concerned, the officers uud men of tho Federal iiniiy are bound to curry tin m into effect. I am in favor of such po litical net ion of the Government as will obviate the necessity of Ma li orders. Do not miuppichcud w. 1 believe the insti tution ot blavery is gone as a peiinament thing overth'iiwn by -the action of the Southern States. 1 believe in case of a re turn to the Union we would receive politi cal eooM-nition so as to secure the manage nient of that labor by those who were slaves. There is really no difference, in my opinion, w hether we hold them as absolute slaves or obtain thut lulmr by some other method. Hfcourse we prefer 'the old method; but thut question is uot now before us. We are, for the present, lulling to the au thorities of Alabama ami to the citizens of other parts of tho State to heed w hut w e huvc felt, and that they need not feel. If 1 km to be consideied an enemy to my coun try for telling them those things, let' it be so let the senuiice come. Hut thut state of kffuim Vi ill no longer exist.

Thoro were then upon the minds of some of us appre hensions of a not far distant trouble of tho horrors of civil war. Disunion followed war came and ruin swept ovor our Southern land. Our fields are devaatatcd, buildings burned, our sons have fallen in battle, and tho land is full of widows and orphan. What had disunion to weigh against this desolation t ,'Keconntrutton,, In Alabama. The name of Jeremiah Clemens must bo tolerably well known to intelligent Demo crats, lie has been a leading Democratic politician of Northern Alabama since Gen, Jackson's day, when that section used to give Old Hickory ut least nine-tenths of its votes. Huntsville,liaving been for some time under Union rule, a largo and zealous Union meeting was held there on the 113th inst., at which Mr. Clemens spoke fully and fearless ly. Having been in tho U. S. Senate with Jeff. Davis and his fellow conspirators, Mr. Clemens knows Secession from the egg, and knows that it was never deliberately in dorsed by the people of the South, but was imposed on them by fraud and force. He knows that the Ordinance of Secession was not submitted to the People of Alabama (as of several other States) because they wero known to be averse to it. and would have voted it down if they had been accorded a chance. But hero is one statement made in liis ?fe speech which lets in new light on that most ati.?riUS bombardment w hereby the Rebel leaders coi'ncuced tho War: "In 1801," said Mr. C., "'i!!"ftl.y after the Confederate Government was put in Opera tion, I was in the City of Montgomery. One day, I stepped into the office of tho Secrcta ly of War, Gen. Walker, and found there, engaged iu a very excited discussion, Mr. Jetl'crson Davis, Mr. Memmingcr, Mr. Benja min, Mr. Gilchrist, a member of our Legis lature from Lowndes County, and a number of other prominent gentlemen. They were discussing the propriety of -immediately opening fire on Fort Sumter, to which Gen. Walker, tho Secretary of War, appeared to be opposed. Mr. Gilchrist said lo him : "Sir, unless you sprinkle blood in tho face of tho people of Alabama, they will bo back in the Union iu less than ten days !' The next day, Gen. Beauregard opeued his bat teries on Sumter, mid Alabama w'ns saved to tho Confederacy." Does any one believe that a great nation is to be torn to shreds by such men mid such means ? Alabama we counted among the hist States to return to the Union. Take off the pres sure of the military despotism that now enthralls her, and we believe she would re turn to-morrow. A'. Y. Tribune. The I'roclnniatioit 1 freedom. When the final draft of the proclamation was presented by the President to the Cabi net, it closed with the paragraph stating that the slaves it liberated would be receiv ed into the armed service of the United States. Mr. Chase objected to the appear ance of a document of such momentous im portance without one word beyond the dry phrases necessary to convey its meaning; and finally proposed that there be added to the President's draft the following sen tence : "And upon this act, sincerely believed to be an net of justice, warranted by the Con stitution, I invoke the considerate judgment of mankind and the grucious favor of Al mighty God." Mr. Lincoln adopted the sentence as Mr. C'Tiase wrote it. only interlining after the word "Constitution" the words "upon mili tury necessity." und in that form the procla mation went in the world and history. Tho President originally resolved upon the policy of issuing this proclamation in the summer of 1S03. As lie expressed it himself, everything was going wrong ; we seemed to huve put forth our utmost effort ; and he really didn't know what more to do. unless he did this. Accordingly, he pre pared the preliminary proclamation, nearly in the form in which it subsequently appear ed, culled the Cabinet together, and read it to them. Mr. Montgomery Blair was startled. "If you issue thut proclamation, Mr. President," ho exclaimed, "you will lose every one, of the fall elections." Mr. Seward, on the other hand, said, 'T approve of it, Mr. President, just as it stands. I approve of it in principle, and I approve the policy of issuing it. I only object to the time. Send it out no--, on the heels of our late disasters, and it will be construed as the convulsive struggle of a drowning mun. To give it proper weight, you should reserve it till after some victory." The Presideut assented to Mr. Seward's view, aud it was withheld till Fall, when it was issued almost precisely as originally prepared. The ono to which Mr. Chase supplied the concluding sentence wus the filial Proclamation, issued ou the subsequent first of January. Uvrratjioudeiicc of Cincin nati Uuiette Owen Lovkjov, ot Illinois died in Brook lyn, New York, at midnight on Saturday, lie was born in lunebcc county, in Maine, where ho worked upon a farm untill he was able to enter Bowdoin College, lie worked his way through college ; studied theology ; was settled over tho Congregational Church at Priuceton, Illinois, until 1804, when he was elected to Congress. His congressional career was marked by u passage of arms be tween himself and Mr. Pryor, of Virginia, i:i which the House tool; sides; and those who tue the leaders of tho rebellion were vcjy virulent and violent against free speech, while those who are to day sus taining the Administration und lighting for the I'nion uave their countenance to Mr. Lovejoy. The challange between Potter and Pryor grew from this occurrence. A brother of Hon Mr. I.ovejoy Rev K 1 Lovejoy, editor of an anti-slavery journal at Alton, Illinois was basely butciie'red by a pro-sluvcry mob iu 1n:17. This very natur ally intensified tho abolition views of tho surviving brother; and Ids attacks upon the institution were a strong, us bitter, and as unremitted as those of iiuy other champion of human liberty.

The steamer Satan, from Nashville, passed Piidue.-di at 5 o'clock this morning: and steamer Joseph Pearce, which passed two hours later, brings the following accounts of the affair: Forrest, with an estimated force of 5,000 men, captured the place at 2 o'clock yester day afternoon, nnd sackeil and fired the city. Col. Hicks, commanding the post, occupied the fort below the city with about 800 men. The rebels made 4 assaults on the fort, but were repulsed each time. Three of our gun boats opened on the city during its occupa. tiou by the enemy, and much of it was burn ed, including the Marine railway and the steamer Arizona. The wurf boat und about 3,000 in habitunts of the city moved across the river upon leurning th approach of t'.ic rebels. When the Pearce passed at 7 o,clock this morning, the enemy hud left and the people were returning to the city. Tho fires were dying out. Tlie amount of public and pri vate property captured is uuknowu ut pre sent, but is supposed to be large. Our loss was twelve killed and forty wounded. From one hundred and iilty to three hundred rebels are reported killed, unci among them licnerul lonipson. Twenty-five houses, around the lort; were I destroyeil uy cur troops, they ueing usee; as j a screen for the rebels sharpshooters. The headquarters and Government store houses were I aimed by the enemy. A reporter has gone to Paducah, and will furnish correct information us soon as possi ble 1'roiu tViinliiiiRloii. Washington, March 20. Governor Bramlctte, of Kentucky, and ex Uuite States Senator Dixon, from the same Slate, who arrived on Friday, are still in Washington. Their business with the Presi dent is with reference to the draft. Those who profess to bo well acquainted with that subject confidently say that no difficulty is apprehended as to the execution of the draft under the amendatory enrolment act in that State, and that all proper measures will be taken by the Government to prevent mili tary excesses aud a contravention of the rights of citizens, und further that Kentucky will promptly furnish her full quota under the dralt. It is rumored in military circles to-duv that the entire organized militia of the North is to culled into uclive service for a period of six months, to hold certuiu strutegetical points during the cumpuign against Rich mond, which is about to commence. An order has been issued authorizing offi cers and privates in the luvalid Corps, of sufficient service and fit for active duty, to enter the Veteran Corps. The change will undoubtedly be jumped ut by all who squirm under the popular misapprehension that the Invalid Corps is a body of pensioners. They will get bounties too. While experimenting with a flying ma chine yesterday at tho Patent Office, the at tached bulloou, tilled with hydrogen gas, exploded, shattering .the windows, and slightly injuring the gentleman testing the merits of the improvement. Tho balloon wus id' India-rubber, and tho explosion was caused by the electricity with which it was accidentally charged previous ly rubbing it. The subsequent experimcnte were successful. The machine ii designed for military purposes. A great number of ambulances went through the city, to the front, to-day. l'li Mrbt'l .Mttilittf Teward Ion. Caiiio, March 27.

On the 15th inst., a part of tho Federal fleet appeared opposite Alexandria aud de mands its surrender. The demand was complied with without any show of opposi tion. Gen. Banks intended leaving for the field early In tho week, but his departure was de layed. He would probably getaway on the 20th or 21st. The army In Western Louisiana is again on tho move. General Lee's cavalry corps has opened tho campaign. His advance oc cupied New Iberia. Our farce had a fight at New Iberia, and pursued the enemy a distance of nineteen miles. Two of our gunboats crossed Berwick's Bay and Grand Lake, and ascended the Grand river to Bute-a-la Rose. This was tho Bccno of a desyesate engagement last year. Before reaching Bute-a-la Roso they came upon a rebel camp, and nt once open ed fire. Tho rebels ran, and men were land ed from the gunboats, who burned the tents and camp equipage, and captured the urins and ammunition ot the entire force. The Free State Executive Committee have adopted the following resolution : Uctohed, Thut the Free State party is un compromisingly opposed to assuming any debts contracted by the State of Louisiana while under rebel domination, for the pur pose of carrying ou tho war agaiust the United States. Governor Hahn has called on election for j delegates to tho constitutional couventiou, to take place on the JiBth inst. Nkw Voiik, March 27. A Mobile paper of the 8th says, "No firing on Fort Powell yesterday. The enemy's fleet is three and n half miles from the fort." IMvisioii ol'tlic tliMNiMiiii. St. Locir, March 20. Our losses at the capture of Fort Do Rus scy, on the Red river, were seven killed, two mortally wounded, twelve severely wounded, twenty-seven slightly wounded, nnd six not specified. The rebel loss was five killed nnd four wounded. About a thousand meu composed the gar rison of the fort, but more than one half had been withdrawn to defend Alexandria, which, according to tho latest advices from New Orleans, had also been captured by our troops. The credit of the capture of Fort de Rus scy belongs to the army entirely, the gun boats not having participated in tlie engage ment. Fort de Russey is seventy miles from the mouth of the Red river, one hundred and forty-three miles from Alexandria, nnd four hundred and fifty miles from Shreveport. Mkmi-his, March 2-1. Major Wm. P. Nor ris, paymaster of the army, a native of Phil adelphia, died here on the 22d. Advices from Yicksburg to the 17th fur nish nothing of special interest. The brick railroad depot ut Yicksburg was entirely destroyed by fire a few days since. A large portion of tlie cotton it contained was saved. The Memphis cotton market is dull at 58c for good middlings.
