Resolcal hi thc Congress of the Con
federate States of' America. That it is
the deliberate judgment of Congress
that the people of these States, while
hoping for peace, should look to pro
longed war, as the only couditioh
proffered by the enemy, short of sub
jugation; that every preparation neces
sary to encounter such a war, should
be persisted in; and that the amplest
supply of provisions for armies and peo
ple, should be the first object of all
miicklv “changedour base” and spread - ... f
outso as to avoid making a target of fected, I rode over every position of
thc party. Up to this time but little the field and counted our own and the
skirmishing bad occurred in our im- Yankee dead and founded. The dis-
mediate front, but a eavalry recon- parity in numbers was astonishing, for
tion towards recognition. Both the
opposition and Ministerial party en
tertain similar views upon this ques
tion. We can do without recognition
and we can prosecute the war to a
successful termination without it. Mr.
\ r . closed by declaring that, in his
opinion, every acre of land should be
cultivated for provisions for man and
beast. There should be no cotton.
Mr. Clark, of Mo., approved of the
resolutions. He had no doubt, as the
Senator front Alabama had remarked,
that the Federal Government enter
tain the belief that their porspects are
better than they were six months ago.
The action of the out-going Congress
in clothing Liucoln with dictatorial
powers in licates a purpose to prose
cute the war to a ruthless extent. He
believed that all tbe acts of that Con
gress would be submitted to—in the
Northwest as well as in other por
tions of the North. Our friends in the
Northwest, if we have any, are not
numerous enough to resist the enforce
ment of those laws. It is a delusion to
suppose that the feeling in that section
against the Administration will ripen
into a rebellion. He knew something
of the people there, and believed that
they would submit to the conscription
aitd other acts of the out-going Con
gress.
In Missouri, no one is now allowed
to plant unless he gives bond and se
curity to be loyal to Lincoln, and those
who do not comply are banished. This
war is now in its full blaze, and we
must rally all our energies, display
the utmost confidence in our rules,
iiiul not stop to inquire whether this
is right or wrong in.immaterial mat
ters. He had full hope if -the agricul
turists will raise an ample supply of
provisions, th^t before next autumn
no foot-print of a Yaukee Vandal will
be found in the land.
The (juestion was then put on the
adoption of the preamble and resolu
tions, and was decided in the affirma
tive—every Senator voting aye, except
Messrs. Johnson, ot Ga., and Peyton,
of Mo., who were absent.
On motion ot Mr. Oldham, the re
port of the Committee on Commerce
on the joint resolution in relation to the
free navigation ot the Mississippi River
was orderedto be reprinted.
On motion Mr. of Orr, the committee
on Foreign Affairs were discharged
from the further consideration of the
resolution submitted by Mr. Sentmes
on the 3d instant, inquiring into the
propriety and expediency of so much
of certain resolutions touching cer
tain points of maritime law, and de
fining the position of the Confederate
States in respect thereto, adopted by*
the Provisional Congress, as declares
“that tbe neutral flag covers enemy’s
goods with the exception of contra
band ot war.” It was transferred to the
secret calendar.
Grccly a few weeks since was shouting
loudly for peace. Now lie thinks the
only way to get peace is a vigorous prose
cution of the war- Ho wishes peace were
possible without further hostilities, but it is
not.
It is proposed in Massachusetts to pasa
a statuto of limitation against the early
marriages of army widows. Several who
have gone off in now bonds ot wedlock
are perplexed by hearing that their patri
otic Husbands “still live.”
