Ricumokii, Ifith.—Tho attention of
Congreu is almost entirely absorbed in
the consideration of matters in secret
session: The House is said to be malting
ome progress with the curronoy uud tsx
bills..
In the Senate, this morning, the Ju
diciary Committee reported a bill which
provides that all parsons owing* military
service who shall depart beyond the
boundaries of tha Confederacy, without
the permission, of the President, with in
tent to evade the military serrico, or who
have heretofore left with such intent, or
who heretofore or may hereafter remove
within th* enemy's line,within tho bounds
of the Confederacy, shall bo held ns alien
enemioi, subject in person and properly
to the laws respecting the same. AU
sales and transfers of property by such
persons, after the passage of this act, aro
declared fraudulent and void. Ordered
to be printed and placed on the calondar.
In the House a bill preaented offering
amendment! to the substitute law lately
passed, so that its provisions-shall', not
apply to any one actually engaged by
bis own labor or in superintending labor
for otherf raising food, and w»s so en
gaged on the first of January last, was
strongly urged as the duty of Congress to
encourage the production of food to sup
ply the people and the army. Tho tenth
of what was made last year is not enough
support the army, and heavier drafts
tho productive labor of the country
ild not bo sustained. Referred to the
Committee on Military Affairs.
lt was alleged on the floor oftho House
that In spile of the act of Congress, and
geuersl orders 6f the War Department,
enough aLle-bodied young ineu are still
employed in commissary departments to
make an army corps. The War Depart
ment has asked for additional legislation
or a bill to that effect bo submitted and
and roferred.
Tha Special Committee reported a bill
to establish a veteran soldier* - home. It
provides that th# Secretary of War pur
chase a safe and suitable location to eroct
a building. Ail officers, soldioi* and sea
men retired cr discharged by reason of
wounds, sickness and lino duty are enti
tled to bo recoived into the institution nnd
maintained there, and receive pay as if in

A Chance for Substitute Men.—Oapt.
George M. Ilibben, recruiting officer for
General Morgan's Cavelry Division, wo
learn, can bo fountl at Capt. Wallace’s
Enrolling Office, whero he is receiving,
and mustering in recruits for Morgan’s
command. Here is an excellent chanco
for those "wishing to pass a pleasant
summer, have fun, wear fine clothes, ride
finu horses, have u pocket full of money,
lots of old Bourbon, ladies' gaiters and
calico frocks for your sweuthearts, with
any quantity of fighting for nothing.”
You had hotter join this command in ten
days, as you will not havo the opportu
nity after that time; but will be hustled
oft* to camps of instruction, and after
lagging around awhile, will be again
hustled off*, aud compelled to take up
arms in some branch of the service not
half so pleasant.
Dearth.—There is #esrcely anything
occurring of sufficient inletest to bo no
ticed in this department of tke paper;
nd, besides, we have been so closely
ngagodm other duties for ssvoral days
past, that we have not been able to devote
any time to suen thoughts as might have
presented themselves.
Vitiated Taste.—As we were walking
down street Monday evening, cogitating
upon the bad weather, the scarcity of
broil.ns, and the frequency of mud
holes, wo heard a terrible banging and
discord which grated on our ears like the
filing of an old saw, and after listening a
moment, fouud that it was caused by a
young lady playing Yankoo Doodle on
tho piano. Wo rumenibor when this old
tune, well played or sung, would cause
a thrill to run through our frame, and
almost make us throw up our hat and
huzza for the Fourth of July and llail
Columbia; but that timo has passed,
never to return, and wo now hear it with
ss much dislike us we formerly did with
pleasure - und think the young lady who
can and will play it now, cortainly lias
had lior Usto vitiated in some way. Give
up tho old odo which i* so essentially
Yankorisli, nnd which the Yankees claim
ns their national nir. W« oncu lovod it,
and sang puuns to whnt wo then consid-
nr*d tho “glor’ous Union"; but having
been forced into our presont position, wo
are not willing lor this war, now boing
waged against u*, to stop until we havo
acliioved an honorable independence;
nnd can but regard those who advocato
tho settlement of our troubles by com
promise, orevon IndepondentState action,
with distrust.
Away, then, with ovorytlrtng which
smacks of Yankeeisiu, and when we gain
whnt wc are struggling for, lot’s havo
nothing to do with a people capablo of
whnt they have proven themselvos to bo.
