The bill was strongly contested by the Bower State members, but tho motion to lay it oa the table was defeated by sixty eight ayes to one hundred and five nays. It is probable that the bill will be passed, but it is thought that it may be vetoed. Washington., Feb: 20.—House The ■team s’tx.p aim ndment to th# Navy bill was discussed and adopted.

Mr. Summers, of Virginia, moved as an amendment that no Territory shonld bo ac quired without the concurrence of a major ity of the Senators from tlie slave States, and that no treaty of acquisition bo ratified unless consented to by the same majority. Mr. Franklin, of Pa., moved as an amend ment, that all Territory north of 36 deg. 30 min., remain in the present status, and that all questions there be decided by the Federal Courts. Mr. Bronson, of New York, moved to amend by inserting that Congress has no power to legislate in regard to slaver}*, ex cept to provide for the rendition of fugitives, and to suppress the slave trade, and that the Territories remain unchanged until ad mitted as States. Mr. Hall, of Vermont, moved as an amend ment that Congress prohibit the slave trade in flic District of Columbia, or that the slaves be transferred hence to States for sale. Tlie Cabinet met in extra session this morning at nine o’clock. President Bnchanan, Abraham Lincoln, and W. H. Seward had a private confer ence at tho White House during the session of the Cabinet.

The Postmaster-General has sup pressed all documents bearing their frank. It is believed that no secession documents have been allowed to be sent from Wash ington. Senator Clingman is making an investigation concerning these infamons proceedings. 24 A Charleston correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch, says : Major Anderson is dangerously ill in Fort Sumter, with pneumonia. lie sent over for Dr. Roberson, of this city, who is now* attending him regularly. President Davis is to be in this city on Thursday next, to look around and sec what is to be done in military matters. He doubtless will have things put in the right direction very soon. Another Seizure of New YorkVcssels. Up to the present time the arms seized by tbe New York Police, have failed to como to band, or even to be delivered into the possession ofthe agent of the State in New York. There is no prospect of their recovery, accordi ng to present appearances, and tbe Governor has determined to resort to other means for reimbursing our citi zens for their loss. Under his order Col. Lawton seized yesterday, the following vessels in port, belonging to citizens of Now York, and placed them under a mili tary guard: Ship Martha S. Ward, 758 tons, Capt. Hickley, consigned to Brigham, Baldwin & Co., and loading for Liverpool. Bark Adjusta, 495 tons, Capt. Enell, consigned to Mailer & Michels, and load ing for Queenstown and a market. Brig Herald, consigned to W. B. Giles & Co., and loading with lumber for Sunder land. These vessels arc of sufficient value to make up a good portion of the loss, and wo presume the Governor will forbtwith advertise them for sale at the expiration of thirty days, unless the arms shall be laid down in Savannah in the meantime. Sav. Hep. Foreign Rccogition of the Soathern Confed eracy. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia North American (Republi can) says the prediction may now be ven tured confidently England will receive a Minister or Commissioner from tbe Mont gomery Provisional Government; at least, such an impression is warranted by declara tions, traceable to tbe British legation in Washington. Tbe Virginia Convention. In the Virginia State Convention, on Thursday, the following resolutions were read and referred to the Committee on Federal Relations. Resolved, That the allegiance which the citizens of Virginia owe to the Federal Government ofthe United States of Amer ica, is subordinate to that due to Virginia and may therefore be lawfully withdrawn by her whenever she may deem it her du ty to do 80. Resolved, That in case the State of Virginia should exercise this authority, her citizens would be in duty bound to render allegiance and obedience to her alone. Resolved, That Virginia recognizes no authority in any Government, State or Federal, to coerce her, or any of her cit izens, to render allegiance to the Govern ment of the United States, afte* she may, in the exercise of her sovereign power, have withdrawn from it; and that she will not regard any attempt at coercion as equivalent to a declaration of war against her, to be resisted at “every hazard and to the last extremity.’’ Resolved, That the States of South Caroling, Georgia Florida, Alabama, Mis sissippi, Louisiana, and Texas, having sev erally-and formally withdrawn tbe alle giance of their respective people from the United States of America, a faithful, earn est desire to avert civil war, and the sound conservative sentiment of the country, alike indicate to the Government of the United States the necessity and policy of acknowledging their independence. miuat neniuy all of interest to our merchants: Manufactures of eedar-wood, granadiila, ebony, mahogany, rose-wood, and satin-wood, per cent., 30 Manufactures of the bark of the cork tree, 24 Manufactures of bone, shell, horn, pearl, ivory, or vegetable ivory, 24 Manufactures, articles, vessels, and wares, not otherwise provided for, of brass, copper, gold, iron, lead, pewter, plalinu, silver, tin, or other metal, or of which either of thoso metals or any other metal shall be the compo nent material of chief value, Manufactures composed wholly of cot ton, bleeched, printed, painted, or dyed, Manufactures ofeotton, linen, silk wool, or worsted, if embroided or. tombor- od in the loom or otherwise, by ma chinery, or with jthe needle or other wise, Manufactures, articles, vessels, and wares of glass, or of which glass shall be a component material, not other wise provided for, Manufactures and articles of leather, or of which leather shall bo a component part, not otherwise provided for, Manufactures and articles of marble, marble paving tiles, and all other marble more advanced in manufac ture than in slabs or blocks in the rough, Manufactures of paper, or of which paper is a component material, not otherwise provided for, 24 Manufactures, articles, and wares of papierniaeho, 24 Manufactures of wood, or of which wood is a component part, not otherwise provided for, Manufactures’.of wool, or of which wool shall be the component material of chief value, not otherwise provided for, Manufactures of hair, Manufactures of fur, Manufactures composed wholly of cot ton, not otherwise provided for, Manufactures of goats’ hair or mohair, or of which goats’ hair or mohair shall be a component material, not otherwise provided for, Manufactures of silk, or of which silk shall be a component material, not otherwise provided for, Manufactures of worstoad, or of which worsted shall be a component mate rial, not otherwise provided for, Manufactures of flax, not otherwise provided for, Manufactures of hemp, not otherwise provided for, Manufactures of mohair cloth, silk twist, or other manufacture of cloth suita- able for tho manufacture of shoos, cut in slips tfr patterns of tho size and shape for shoes, slippers, boots, bootees, gaiters, or buttons, exclu sively, not combined with India rub ber, 4 Manufactures of lastings suitable for shoes, boots, bootees, or buttons, ex clusively, 4 Bagging (Gunny) 15; Coffee freo; Guano and other fertilizers, freo; Iron in bars kc., 24; Limo 8; Molasses and sugar 24; Books, periodicals, illustrated newspapers 8; Drugs in a.crude state 15; Medicinal preparations^; Die woods and extracts lor dying 4 per ct. 24 19 19 19 ration of "War, itioflgti formal hostilities mig\f bejhe ultimate result.

The force may not inaptly be likened to a distress for rent, which, in a measure, is a remedy p.laced in the hands of the injured party—the landlord himself. It is unuecesarry to trace the modification and regulations to which- letters of marque have been subjected from their origin to the present day. Reprisals between nation and nation, as one means of obtaining justice, are of a very ancient origin, nnd have their foun- tion in thte nature of tho relations of different powers. Though not of frequent occurrence now,yet as late as 1&34, President Jackson, in his annual message suggested the pro priety of resorting to this method of ob taining satisfaction of our claims against France, Letters of marque and reprisal, however, with reference to operations at sea, were not known till a later period, when the in crease in the number of maritime powers, and the advance of commerce, gave rise to their necessity. In modern practice, they are seldom, tf ever issued, until the war has been declared, or is in immediate prospect. Merchantmen, in time of war. often deem it advisable to carry larger crews than usual, and more oi less of an armament, for purposes of defence, and not unfrequently take out letters of marque with the view to indemnify themselves for the increased risk and expense of a voy age by taking prizes. Privateers, or ves sels fitted out at private expense, for the express purposo of cruising against an en emy’s commerce, are commissioned by let ters of marque. The term is now applied in a general sense, to the authority un der which all lawful private armed ships act. In the United States, the power of granting letters of marque nnd reprisal is vested by the Constitution, in Congress. In the war of 1812, this power was exer cised in the Act of June 18, 1812, declar ing war, and provision made for the guid ance and regulation of parties apply ing for such commission, and of vessels sailing under them, by the acts of June 27, 1813, and January 22, 1813. These acts were temporary in their de sign, and now obsolete, special legislation would be required upon any future occa sion which called for a renewed exercise of this power. It would be a violation of the Neutrali ty act of April 20, 1818, for an American vessel to be commissioned as a letter of marque in the service of any foreign pow er, against a nation with whom we are at peace, or for any vessel to be fitted out armed in any of our ports for tho purpose of cruising under letters of marque against a friendly power.—Exchange. Coffee, Hi. J»T«, Tea,. sideration of His Excellency. Our people are able—yes, well able to live in perfect independence of all offioes within the gift of him who seems to be looking alone with an eye single to future political preferment. This article is intended respectfully to in form His Excellency that our people who rallied almost to a man in support of hint, have seen that in all his appointments re cently to office, Southwest. Georgia is al most without a name. , The Georgia Forester .says' We observe, with some regret, that Ilis Excellency has, to a great extent, ignored the country in his appointments, and lias relied mainly upon the cities to furnish competent officers. We dare say the same policy will not bo adhered to when the battles of the country are to bo fought; for, although tho gentlemen of the cities are as true as steel, patriotic and brave, experi ence has demonstrated that tho hardy yeomanry of the country make tho most enduring soldiers.

We find the following dispatch in the Savannah Republican of Saturday morning, which puts an entirely different construe tiou on the Tariff act: Charleston, Feb. 22.—Mr. Colcock, the Collector of the Customs for Charleston, has just received a dispatch from Mr. Mem- minger, Secretary of the Treasury, stating that goods imported from.any of the Unit ed States not belonging to tbe Confederacy, are exempt from duty, without relation to the time of importation, if tho goods were purchased on or before the 28th. of Febru ary, inst. - Congressional. Washington, Feb. 23.—Senate.—Mr. Wilson reported a bill for the re-organiza tion of the District Military. . Tbe Post route bill was debated and post poned until Monday. The California war bill was passed. Several - miscellaneous appropriations were taken out of tho Committee, and will come up before the Senate on Monday. House—Tho House passed ’the Wash ington and Oregon War Debt bill. The Tariff bill was up, and the Senate amendment was debated. Messrs. Sickles,Garnett and several oth ers opposed tbe hill, but finally agreed that the House should .meet at 10 o’clock on up for final ac- • • ; r Fcdcral Reinforcements at Hand.

Since the election, we find from this class of papers disparaging remarks in reference to Mr. Stephens. Tho following from tho Albany Patriot is not perhaps a fair speci men. The editor says: “We have just cause to congratulate our peoplo upon their first President of this (soon to be) Great Confederacy. As for Mr. Stephens, wo believe that ‘ little Elick’ will try, to do all in his power, as he stands second now, to be first next time. We confess wo have never had much confidence in this great little man. He is. conservative iu the extreme, and will ride, if possible, upon the popular wave. Tho position he now occupies—“riding behind” —ho can do but little barm if lie were dis posed to try. But as Davis was our first choice, we can afford to compromise some thing, and will most cheerfully say amen to the choice as made by our Southern Con gress.” Now, it is known that both from princi ple and policy, we decidedly opposed tho separate precipitate secession of Georgia. We believed that there should be consulta tion and co-operative action of all the slave holding States, tb Pedress their grievances in the Union, bofore they resorted to revo lution—in tlie meantime expecting and preparing for the worst. Had this course been pursued, it would have saved millions of dollars to the South and possibly many valuable lives. The people, under appli ances and devices well known and under stood by their leaders, however, decided against us. We promptly acquiesced in thoir verdict, and nave been ready and will ing to ignore past differences, and to unite with men of ail parties in baildiiig up and guarding tlie new Confederacy. We think, therefore, that it is ungracious in original secessionists to proscribe those who differed with them upon a mere ques tion of policy. Wo warn them in the most respectful and kindly manner, that two can play at that game. .Wo prefer that bye- goncs should be bye-gones, but we shall not tamely submit to see ourselves or our IVionda abused and proscribed because we. were not original precipitators. Shall the past bo ignored? That is the question.— Journal <£ MafKiigerU ' A New Phase of Disunion. The Cincinnati Gazette states, on what it considers reliable authority, that there are agents of the Gulf States in that city endeavoring to create a sentiment amongst business men favorable to the establish ment of a Confederacy composed of South ern and Northwestern States. A well- k iiowd leader among the Democracy has been approached, within the past two or three days, by these agents, with a view of obtaining his influence. Tho object is to make freo trade tho basis of the Confede racy, and to cut off New York, Pennsylva nia, New Jersey and all the New England States which are wedod to a protective tariff. These Southern gentlemen state that there are agents of the Gulf States, throughout ail the Northwestern States, who are mak ing similar overtures and that it is their aim to spring tho issue soon among the citizens of these states.
