Congress.
Mr. Collier, a icuttr of Congress
from Virginia, has. introduced n resolu
tion of enquiry into the expediency of
providing by law that all negroes cap
tured whilst in service of the Yankee
Government, unless they be fugitive
slaves, shall become the property of the
captors, and shall thereafter beheld and
considered in all respects as slaves.
Mr. Baldwin, another member from,
Virginia, has offered a resolution, which
has been Bgrced to, requesting the Sec
retary of War to inform the House by
what authority a number of Yankee pri
soners have been allowed to lake the
oath of allegiance and locate in liock
bridge co., Va.
A bill ha 9 been introduced and re
ferred, to authorize the importation of
machinery and skilled working from
Europe for the manufacture of cottons
and of iron for the use of the army and
navy of the Confederate Stale:,. Anoth
er bill lias been'introduced to congcribc
persons who shall refuse to receive Con
federate currency in payment for arti
cles offered for sale.
No practical measure has been adopted
or proposed to regulate the currency or
to replenish the Treasury. Or, it there
has been, nobody knows anything about
it, os Congress has generally “gone into
secret session" on the currency ques
:ion. It is an unpopular one in some of
its bearings, and members evince groat,
tender-footedness. There appeals to be
entirely too much electioneering going
on in that body.
Our Congressmen have evidently failed
to comprehend the importance of prac
tical legislation, or meet. the exigencies
before-them.

Yankee Speculators—The, lotion
Swindle—How It Is Hone.
When we rend, a few days ago, of Ills
capture of Holly Springs, Mississippi,
by the rebels, and the burning of -1,000
bales of cotton found there, wc thought,
it a bad tl*ng for the cotton speculators.
The cotton was worth at least six hun
dred thousand dollars, perhaps more.—
But, inasmuch as many millions of dol
lars had been made, according to most
reliable accounts; by the enterprising
comp followers who deal in ibis staple,
it docs not seem that this Holly Springs
loss was altogether a ruinous disaster.—
We were sorry for (ho buyers, but hoped
they would survive their misfortune.
In cherishing even a . momentary re
gret over a supposed personal calamity,
little did we understand the sharpness of
Western practice. We have anew reve
lation, in a St. Louis paper, in regard
to the matter. It, appears that the cot
ton accumulated at Holly Springs did
not, belong to individuals at all. It bad
been seized by the government ns Hie
property Confederate Stales I It
is extremely singular that, we never
heard of llijs seizure in the tissue of the
government until after the cotton was
burned. Unquestionably the cotton
speculators bought that cotton and paid
for it. The Southwestern camps have
been swarming with adventurous leaders
with well filled purses, who have on eve
ry occasion pushed their trade with the
hard pressed planters of th# captured
cotton districts. But all the time, it
seems that their energies and money
were spent in vain, for as soon as the in
estimable bales oi golden tleeee were
gathered in at the towns and depots gar
risoned by our Ijoops, It was coolly tak
en possession of by the military in the
name of the government.
• How in il that. the epecuhitors have
never raised an outcry against this injus
ticc? The public, the light of the
Holly Springs bonfire, ran sec it. It t tic
cotton had escaped from Dixie and reach
ed a Union port, it were an easy (Ling
to prove it the private property of loyal
citizens, and have the government seizure
set aside. If the cotton should happen
to be destroyed, as that at Holly Springs
was, the proof of its loyal ownership
entitles the speculators to restoration or
indemnity from the United States Uov
ernmeut, that had unjustly seized and
held the property A sater arrangement
for the speculators could not possibly
have been devised if they and the mili
tary otlieers had put. their heads together
to devise a plan for conducting the trade
jointly. The United States Uuvi-nimenl.
through a constructive seizure of the
cotton on suspicion as to its ownership,
becomes the insurer of the nrtbdu ontil
it is beyond the danger of vi-Wl capture,
ft is thus under the cloak of government,
but for pjivate benefit, that millions of
dollars worth of property are changing
hands in the Sou(Jnvest. Congress' will
do well to provide at once by law against
these bogus cotton claims.
Yankee Honor.— The Louisville Jour
nal contains a communication from Kov.
M. P. Caddie, aChapl ain in the U. S.
Army, which shows with what faith the
Yankee Generals observe their engage
ments. He was on board tlie steamer
captured by lYheelev’s command on the
Cumberland, and released .to carry otf
the wounded Federal soldiers There
were 111 bales of cotton on board, whielt
the captors were about to destroy, tmt
as the wounded were lying upon it. and
could not be disturbed without the risk
of their lives, Mr. Gaddis' parole was
taken (he being placed in charge of the
boat and the wouuded men. ) that on ar
riving at Louisville, he would destroy
the cotton, or return os a prisoner. l>u
his reaching Louisville, lieu. Boyle would
not permit him to comply with either of
the terms of his parole, though he do-,
dares that he will return and surrender
himself as soon as he gets a chance.

A Trip Through the Felted State •
A gentleman who has recently visited
several of the principal cities of the North
has furnished us with an account of his
trip and sojourn among the Yankees.
Leaving Richmond two days before
Christmas he arrived in Maryland on
Christmas Eve, and was warmly received
in that portion of the State where lie
landed, where the Southern sentiment is
almost unanimous. Every facility was.
afforded him in making liib way to Bal
timore. lie arrived in the city in the
middle of the day on Sunday, and being
well known there, found it necesiary to
observe great caution in bis movements.
He remained in Baltimore one week,
during which time be kept himself care
fuHy secreted during the day, leaking
his perambulations through the city al
ter night hy gas light. While he re
mained in the city he saw a number of
its prominent business men, with whom
he conversed freely. They all seemed
hopeful of the result of the present
struggle, and believe that Southern in
dependence will be the inevitable conse
quence of the present revolution. There
was no public expression of opinion, nil
parties appearing to be awed by and
subdued on account of the presence and
unwarrantable acts of the military sta
tioned in their midst. They express
deep mortification at the present humili
ated condition of their State, and great
regret that the real sentiment of her
people is not properly understood and
her embarrassment appreciated. The
usual lively aspect of affairs in the city
at this season of the year is painfully
changed, and sadness and gloom hang
over everything. Few ladies are to he
seen on the streets at any time.
From Baltimore our traveling friend
made bis way to the city of New York.
Here he remained for more than n week,
and during that time circulated freely
in all quarters, affording himself an op
portunity of hearing expressions of opin
ion with reference to the present crisis
from all classes of the population of the
city.- None of the restraint felt in Bal
timore is experienced in New York, and
those who oppose the Lincoln Adminis
trutiop falk with great freedom and
act independently, without apparent
apprehension of consequences. Os the
war they declare themselves heartily
tired, and with its management com
pletely disgusted. He heard I.incoln
and his supporters openly denounced as
traitors in the public houses in New
York. Iu favor of an honorable adjust
ment of the present difficulties there isa
very strong and rapidly growing senti
ment. Little, if any, hope is entertained
of finally subjugating the South by the
thinking portion of the community : but
there is still a lingering hope that the
States of the Confederacy may yet he
induced to return to the Union. It is
everywhere openly and boldly pro
claimed that no more troops can he
raised for the prosecution of tho war
under present auspices. The negro
policy of the Republican Administration
at Washington is violently condemned,
and the bone and sinew, of whom North
ern soldiers are made, swear they will
fight neither for nor with tho negro. Gen,
Lee is spoken of publicly ns tho greatest
military genius of the age, and incom
parably superior to any General upon
Ihe Federal aide. Not only is bespoken
of as a great commander, lmt as a pol
i lied gentleman, devoid of that brnga
docio tor which their own officers arc
characteristic. “Stonewall" Jackson is
greatly admired for his daring and hrill
iant achievements, and others of our
general officersqtre talked of in terms of
warm commendation.
The health of Jeff. Davis is not nn fre
quently drank in Ihe public liar rooms.
During his sojourn in Gotham, our friend
sldjqied nt. tlioSt. Nicholas Hotel. Gen.
Wool qnJ his staff were guests of the
house at the same time. There were
very few soldiers on the route between
New York aud Baltimore. All the places
of amusement were open nightly, and
pretty generally thronged.. Business
was not active, many of the merchants
‘declaring (heir determination to retain
their goods on the shelf iu preference to
disposing of them for green hacks. Very
few green basics arc in circulation, the
principal currency being State bank
money, and postage currency for small
change. No specie is seen or circulated.
Leaving Now York, tho gentleman al
luded to proceeded In li.istmi where he
arrived iu the midst, of a snow storm.
Jieing on a sight seeing expedition, lie
determined, howevep, not to lie deterred
by the inclement weather. Procurring
n linek, he visited Charlestown, Cam
bridge, and the Bunker Hill Monument,
lie does not recollect to have heard a
word said about the war during his slay
in Boston, and the people there seem
scarcely conscious of the stupendous
struggle that is in progress. There
seemed to he a general spirit of gaycty,
the Yankees in that locality apparently
feeling little of the pressure resulting
from the troubles which are afflicting
other and move deserving sections ofthc
country, lie soon got tired of the city
and left it in disgust, returning to New
York Viy the “Stonington route,” where
he remained several days longer.
From thence he came to Philadelphia,
and put up at the Girard House, intend
ing to -spend several days in that city.
<»u the night of his arrival, Senator Wall,
of New Jersey, who was en route for
Washington, addressed a large gather
ing of the people from the front balcony
of the Girard House. Our friend says
that no idea can be farmed from the
newspaper reports of the enthusiasm cre
ated bv his speech. From beginning to
ending, it was received with tumultu
otis applause by the Philadelphians. After
the speech was concluded, our traveller,
in passing through the hall of the hotel!
met with a detective whom he had former
,ly kuown in Baltimore, and by whom he
was afraid of being recognized. This
unexpected meeting of an acquaintance
with whom he had no desire to hold an
interview—determined him to make his
sojourn in the Quaker City very brief,
and as the cars were about departing
.Southward, he at once engaged passage*!
After more than. a week of tedious
journeying, over a route which we do not
deem it entirely prudent to mention, lie
arrived safely iu Richmond, much grat
ified with his trip, and firmly impressed
with the belief, from all that he could
see and hear, that the Ist of July will
witness (he termination of the .war'
Investing is Confederate Bonus.
There seems to be now a great rage for
investing in Confederate bonds. Uvcry
body is buying bonds—that is. every
body who bus the Treasury notes where
"'tli to buy. How groat the contrast!
Here our people are seeking Confeder
ate Government paper. In Lincolndom
everybody- is avoiding Government pa
per. and paying enormous prices lor
every article which will enable them to
get rid of Yankee ‘‘promises to pay.”
This is one of the best signs of the
times. —Savannah Xrtrs.

AfeolHiobi'fs at ;7Pod«focß, Ida.
The Savannah Republican is indebted
to a lady friend, “a refugee," for the
following account of the Abolition raid
at Woodstock, Florida:
“On Friday, the 30lh ult., the Aboli
tion gunboat, John Adams, surprised
the inhabitants of Woodstock, at 2 o'clock,
a. m., with a force of about 200 blacks,
commanded by white officers. Availing
themselves of the early- hour, they placed
negro pickets around each dwelling, en
tered houses, and captured every male
adult, among whom were Messrs. Bessent,
Bavatte, Flood, Smith, Grovenstein, and
Sterling—the former-gentleman was on
ly sojourning for a few days at this place,
to recuperate his health, but he was
ruthlessly forced to leave ins bed and
accompany the foe.
“There citizens, with their families,
are refugees from St. .Mary s, who sought
it as an asylum of safety when the das
tard invader so ignobly took possession
of Fernandina. Being sure of their
prey, they committed depredations of
several 'kinds, such as appropriating
guns, enticing off four negroes, the
.property of Mrs. Alberti, and stealing
her sheep, bacon, rice, anil other stores.
Nor was this all; Col. lligingson, of t lie
•South Carolina Volunteers,’ entered a
lady’s Hiartinent before she had ventur
ed out, and rudely searched among the
mattrasses. She told him that she ex
pected such treatment from pirates and
thieves, to which he answered that »if
she did not hold her tongue he would
have her arrested ; but. this weapon is
not so soon foiled, for her Southern blood
was at its height when (he degraded
Colonel told her that the negro was as
good as the white mgn. ,
“Another lady, Mrs. 8., wishing to
pass from her room (which was not
picketed only by ‘red legs,’) to claim
the protection of a white man, was or
dered back by one, who told her that he
could protect her as well as the white
man, and if she dared to pass he would
shoot her down; but she was not to he
daunted by so base a wretch.
“I takg pride in informing my readers
that all the ladies Comported themselves
on this trying occasion with great com
posure, yet with that dignity which be
comes every daughter of the South.
The fiendish work being at an end, the
allies were mustered and marched back
to the gunboat. On tlieir way down,
however, they met. with a warm reception,
and the Captain was killed at Reid’s by
Capt. Clarke’s command.
“We have learned since by flag of
truce, that the prisoners were taken to
liilton Head, after a day’s detention at
Fernandina. Here the curtain falls, and
our hearts wither at the thought that the
loved ones may languish within the lone
ly walls of a prison. Though they have
been torn away froth us —though our
homes, where clustered so many endear
ing associations, have been desecrated,
and-are in ashes, yet are we happy to
have sacrificed our all on the altar of
our cherished country, and our abiding
faith is in God, who lias promised a
blessing to those who trust in Him !
A Rkfiioek.”
JJtriT'Thc N. V. Tribune, reviewing Mr.
May’s speech, says:
The lion. Henry .May, of Baltimore,
who is believed to be better acquainted
with the feelings and purposes of the
rebels than any other man in Ihe House,
is reported in the Globe to have said in
his speech yesterday : “The people of
the Soutli believe, and 1 believe that
there is established a fixed and unalter
able antagonism between the sections
where slavery is and is not allowed, and
that nn future politinl union, as long as
slavery exists, can never lie maintained
between them upon any basis wliat
ever."
Mr. May went on to say that the only
alterantiv<s presented to the country arc
“separation or subjugation,” and lie ad
ministered a rebuke to Mr. Vallandig
ham for laying so much stress upon ar
guments for reunion found in physical
geography, when all hopes of it were
forbidden by reasons inherent in “Ihe
nature of man.
The New York Times on llie same Sub
ject says :
Some Republicans are so much outrag
ed at Henry May’s speech on Monday,
(which he was permitted to print, after
delivering only a part, of it.,) that they
talk of bringing in a resolution for his
expulsion, lie said the rebellion stood
before t he world justified of God and man,
arul that the war could only end in one
or two ways—subjugation or separation,
as restoration with slavery was now for
ever impossible.
The Republicans also foolishly consen
ted to let Wicklitl’e print a speech which
he did not deliver ; and now it is feared
that it will expose equally bold treason
when it appears.

Chattanooga Rebel of the 2l'.tli says:
Ro'Sencranz is said to be checked by
several circumstances besides thcweittli

are stated by tlie most positive informa
tion, as not to exceed fifteen thousand.
Great, expectations are based on the next
pass-at-arms.
£»>•'• The Yankees heretofore have
denominated tlieir backward movements
on the Rappahannock, “change of base.”
The recently meditated change of the
Rente Butler for the tyrant Banks, at
New Orleans, will be simply “a change
of baseness.”

Raymond of the New York Times
had to travel several hundred miles re
cently. because of atelegraphie blunder,
announcing that his brother’s corpse
was at Belle Plain. Coming post haste
to that place lie discovered Ids brother
not only alive, but iu excellent health.
The telegram had been sent : “Your
brother's cores' is at Belle Plain,” and
the additional vowel put, on during its
transmission. He ought to get out a
writ of habeas corpse for that operator.
CktY" A correspondent of a Florida pa
per says a spring which was running
near Fredericksburg, before the war of
the first revolution, dried up three months
before a treaty of peace. So in the war
of 1812, and so in the Mexican war.
Three months before the Fall of Sumter
i it was running and now it ha 9 stopped,
and the writer bets high on “peace iii
three months.” If he fixes his hopes on
that spring, we may well exclaim with
the poet i4at. “Hope springs eternal iu
the human breast.”
