Montgomery, Ala , March"7, 1861.
Congress met to-day at 10 a. tn. After prayer,
llm journals of yesterday were read and confirmed.
Mr. CLAYTON, of Miss , from the judiciary
committee^reported the following hill to define the
jurisdiction of the Federal Courts in certain cases,
which was read twice and placed on the calendar.
The Congress of the Confederate States do enact,
That in the event of a conflict of arms between the
Confederate States and the United States, or of the
telnsal on the part of the United States to recognize
the independence of lli* Confederate Mutes,or K>
receive the Commissioners sent by the latter to treat
with the former in relajion to>the several matters ot
the controversy existing between them, the Congress
of ihe Confederate. States siiall not take cognizance
of any civil ca>e in which the plaintiff is or may be,
either tlie said United States or either one of them,
orifepy citizen or 'citizens thereof, or assignees, 01
endorser, or endorsee, or any such person.
!8«v*3. All pe-ding rases in which tfc pTahlftiff
shall be in either of the classes aforesaid, shall up
on the happ**nin^ of either of tin* contingencies
aforesaid, be dismissed on.motion, and all process
mesne on final, w hich shall have bi-eii issued at tl^e
suit, of such plaintiff, shall be arrcitcd aud declared
inoperative. -r. u-
jtr.T. R- H. COSD, of Ga., offered the following
solution in rtd.iliou to international copy rights.
THuasDAY, zviAnga 14, issi.
Shall the Southern Ports be Blockaded?
In our judgment, it is tlio siraplist of all folly for
the North to undertake a blockade of the Southern
forts. They might as well undertake to blodkadc
the forts of Uxe nations of the world. -There is no
enlightened nation On earth that would permit tl.c
attempt without * ,prompt ajid determined resent
ment for the insult. It cannot be possible that the
fanatical spirit of the North regard us'os their in
feriors, and uncquals in power, bravery or strength,
or that thi South is unwilling to measure with them
ainst steel. The South 6tands ready to re-
Ifortli Carolina.
ir’e see by our exchanges that North Carolina
has thus far decided against the holding of a Slat?
Convention. The vole stands' about one thousand
against-it. It is also report?d, that the members
elected stand,nearly two to ono for Union. This is

The returns indicate that the State has gone for
calling a Convention.NSixty-two counties have
been heard from. The majority for a Convention
thus far ^is fourteen hundred, with a majority ol

As tp» other business was. offered, the President,
under the rule, declared that Congress will go into

Congress to-day confirmed the nomination of Col.
Broxtnn Bragg,of Louisiana. as Brigadier Geneiai,
and Col. Wm. J. Hardee, of Ga., as Colonel of the
first Regiment of Infantry of the army of. the Con

The following resolution was also adopted:

To Editor Htucon Telegraph. %
Quite a number of military men are now in this
city, called here, I presume, by the President to per
fect a thorough military organization of the Confed
eration, as well as tn report on the organization that
has already been effected. It is well known that for
the past two months active means ? ave been em
ployed,in several of thfve States, to pl.icethciVistlye;
on a war footing, and it is also well known tTiat a
bugle blast will rally tens of thousands of volunteer:
and militia to the field for the naval service. Com
modore Talnall is at the head of his class, and while
(here am many of the gallant and prominent officer
of flic late'United States Army present, I am hot
prepared to state who is probably more prominent
than others.
Congress has had before it, for the past two weeks
(of course in secret session,) a bill making provision
for all defensive operations in case any coercion is
attempted. I can only refer to one or two points in
that bill as I receive my impressions of its provls
ions from the little chats which occur. It is designee

as careless as they may be in this unoffending, they \
will be equally prompt to resent nn insult when offer

Southern Confederate States, affd they will never
abandon this position.
Macon and Brunswick Railroad.
We have received through the courtesy of the
Hon. A. E. Cochran, President of .the Macon and
Brunswick railroad company, their “Annual Report
for 1861.” The President, Directors aud Engineers
deserve the highest praise from the public, and the
thanks of tlie stockholders, for the very energetic
and economical manner in,which they have thus far
directed the operations of this important enterprise.
We use the word important because it is an. impor
tant enterprise for tlie people of Georgia. By it
we have an interesting section of our Stato brought

Washington,March 7.—dn the Senate to-day Mr.
Wigfnll, in his speech in response to Douglas' speech
of yesterday, said it was nonsense to talk as Lincoln
did of the unbroken Union-. Hevcn States wro otTt,
and never, never,'never will return.- If tlm Govern-
ment- di«l not remove the troops from Forts Sumter
and I'ickeus, the Confederate States would. TBe
old Union remains to seo whether it shall have de
cent funeral, or an Irish Wake.
Mr.Douglas reiterated that the Inaugural was in
dicative of peace.
* Mr. Wigfnll said an attempt to eolleet the revenue
or to reinforce Fort Supitcr, would be considered
I .Mr. Douglas said that he learned front the bejl
military authority that it would require leu tlious-
al troops and the whole American Navy to rcin-
rcc Fort Sumter, and they must have bread and
It provisions for thirty-one days.

Gen. McCnlloch bad issued Ihe following circular:
To those who wish to enter into the sertice of the State:
Oor frontier must be protected. Let it not be
said that Texas cannot defend herself as she did in
the days of the Repnblic.
Two regiments of’Rangers will drivtf the Indians*
froncour borders and make them beg for peace.
I have no power to call men in the field for this
purpose. The convention will- no doubt do so as
soon as it assembles. I*t the gallant young men of
Texas respond to the call.
A* good horse, a Colt’s pistol, and a light rifle _.
double-barrell shot-gun tb«t can be used on horse
back, are the best arms for such service.

Major Anderson has only 15 Days Provisions.
v Washington, MarchAl.—An official letter receiv
ed here yesterday from Major Anderson, states that
he had only fifteen day’s subsistence arid wood.;
The que^ion has therefore arisen with the admin
istration whether a reinforcement shall be attempt
ed, or the fort abandoned. The latter course it is
thought will'beadopted from inevitable necessity
and by the advice of Gen. Scott.
There is however a decided conflict of opinion up
on this question, but no conclusion has been arriv
ed at yet in Cabinet council.
The Cumberland and Pochahontas, have accrrd-
ingto official advices, loft Vera Cruz, for Norfolk.—
The Powhntton is on her way to New York, and the
Macedonian is the only vessel left at VeraCruz.
Senate—The resolution to expel Senator Wigfall
as debated.
Senators Clingman and Huntor assumed the
ground that the Senate has no constitutional right
to expel any member except it be for disorder or
misdemeanor.
Senator Mason showed that Senators-owcd no al
legiance to any.power except their own States..—
Although sworn to support the Constitution. He
said that owing allegiance to the federal government
violated their allegiance to thrir own States. No
ncliou was taken upon the resolution.
