Mr. Wright’s Resolutions in Congress.
From the Richmond Examiner of. the
4th instant, we dip the following pre
amble and Resolutions, which that pa
per states were introduced into the
House of Representatives the day preco.
ding, by Mr. Wright, ofGejrgia, but were
not acted iipotf, the House going , into
secret session before taking them up:
“Whereas, tho President.of tho Uni
ted States, in a late public communica
tion, did declaro that no proposition
for peace had been made to that Gov
ernmont by tho Confederate 'State*,
when, in truth, such propositions wore
prevented froin being made, by the
President of, the United Stales, in that
he refused to hear, or oVbn to receive,
two commissioners, appointed to treat
expressly of the preservation of ami
cable relatione botweon tho two Gov
ernment*.
" NeVerthek-sb, that-tho Confederate
States may stand justified, in the sight
of tho conservative men of the North
ef all partio-s,. and that tho world may
know which of the two - Go vofn men U
it is that urges on a war ^paralleled
for the fierceness of the conflict, and
intensifying into a sectional hatred un
surpassed in tho annals of mankind.—
Therefore,-
“ Itesolved, That the Confederate
States invite tho United States,through
their Government at- Washington, .to
meet them by representatives equal to
their representatives and Senators in
their respective Cohgress at-*—^ on
th<?—-- day of — next, to consider,
“ First: Whether they cannot agree
upon -ho recognition of the Confede
rate States of America.
"iSccohtl: In the event of.such recog
nition,whether they cannot Agree upon
the formation of a now Government,
founded upon the equality and sove!
reignty of the States, but if this cannot
be done to oonsider,
“ 7hint: Whether they cannot agree
upon treaties, offensive, defensive and
commercial.
"Itesolved, In the event’of tho pnss.
age of these resolutions, the Presiucilt
be requested to communicate the Mitiie
to the Government at Washington, in
such a man'ner us he shall deent piost
in accoidance* with the usages of na
tions; and, in the event ot their Hciiqp
tan fee by the Government, hqilo issue
his pronhimation* of election of dele
gates, under bucIi regulations as he
may deem expedient ’’
Arrest dT Gen. Toombs.
Rumors have prevailed for several
days*f , the arrest of Gen. (now Col. of
State Troops) Toombs. Tbo Georgia
papers are .nearly silent in -regard to
the matter except as they, echo .what
is said by Richmond papers. The fol.
lowing is the account of the affair as
given by tbo Richmond Examiner t
Gen,; Toombs hod taken thq cars m
Savannah without a passport. The offi
cer on tho train, whoso duty it was to
examine passports, called in tho dis.
charge,of this'duty, upon Mr. .Toombs
for Ins passport. Mr. Toombs had no
passport, and so .informed tho officer,
and said. that ho would not procuro

General Toombs'''ptoceeded to har-

A Hint von those tvuo make Soldier's
Clothing.—A soldier, writing to. the
Statesville F.'xpress, alludes-to the bad
manner in which soldiers’ clothing is
made, and says?
“Our pants, jackets aud under olo-
thing invaviably rip, after a.few weeks’
servico, into the original pieoos. Then
comes a little swearing and swettbn’g
and a week’s, darning an’d stitobing,
before wo are- fit to appear in public,
unless we have lost all sense of decen
cy, and come out with a “flag of truce”
flying in the rear. I would be.glfldif
some of the wouionlvho do sewing for
tho soldiers would pay us a visit—I
have not a doubt but they would re'
turn with many good resolutions, as
well as with a pretty good knowledge
of anatomy, and conviction that our
clothing is “wonderfully” if not “Wavs
fully” made.”
Good Things erlm ‘Tuncii.”—Our
facetmus neighbor, in his last issue puts
forth some pungent witticisms. Re
ferring to the report that Governor Sey*
mour is opposod to tho Lincoln draft,
Punch says he is evidently Afraid that
tho drafted Netv Yorkers will see more
than they bargained for while invading
theSouth. “Tho Govoinor is sensible
—it is a grave business.”
■ Punohsays "across tlio Potomac” is
tho "only Pass-over now rovoronced by
flying Israelite?.”
Tho following is “a palpable 0 hit” at
those producers who wouldn’t acknowl
edge the com.- . .
“Some patriotic farmers’ ip some coun
ties of this State
Resolv’d they’d sell their produce aj

But when the people, wished to buy,

Maximilian and tub Mexican Crown.
—Tho New York Courier publishes the
following extract of a letter from the
Archduke Maximilian to General Ale
monte:
“Rest assured, my dear General, that
I do not in the least hesitate about
coming to you. My resolution has been
finally taken; find ever since the
speech which I made October 3d, be
fore Mexico and the world, I’have only
been wait ing to take up the reins of au
thority for the fulfillment of conditions
made necessary not by my own dignity
alone, but by the best interests of your
country. I have already assured you
of this in my. letters of October 9th,
and it gives me pleasure to renew the
assurance now. You may use this let
ter as you please to dissipate all doubts

whioh may bo still felt in Mexico.”

spring campaign. Tito opinion is ex
pressed that there, is less disparity be-
t ween th#.forces of tho.belligeropta now
than has over, boon before, and the dif
ficulties’of invasion certnihly bocomo
greater as its linos'aro extended.' Threo
hundred thousand Confederates ought
to be a hotter match for five hundred,
thousand Yankees now than when the
war was upon tho outer limits of our
country, and yet, instead of having to
oppose fivo hundred thousand'-with’
threo ljundrod thousand, we moot the;
onomy with a force almost if not quite
equal to their own. • .
The apprehension that r Lincoln Will
be able to swell his army to its former
E proportion, and overwhe.ni us with su-
enor numbers, is without, foundation,
n our opihion, his army is as large now
‘as it ever will be. Indeed, it will Only
be by the great lavish expenditure of
money that the Yankee army can be
retained at its present strength.- We
have defeated larger ir-hum than we
shall ever have to fight again, and- the
same pliiok that has secured us victory
heretofore, will ensure Success in auoth-
er campaign. . The army is not fright
ened,. whutflve,r..may be tho foeling of
those in the fear, and the, country is
safe as long as the spirit of Us brave de
fenders is unbroken.
