Wednesday Evening.
A Bright Day Dawning.—A correspondent of
the Atlanta Register, at Dalton, states that the
Hon. Thomas R, Hanly, representative in the Con
federate Congress from the fourth Congressional
District of the State of Arkansas, whilst discus
sing the,pro“peet3 of peace through the interven
tion of European nation-;, and more especially that
of France and Mexico, stated that after tlic ad
journment of tho Confederate Congress, and "be
fore leaving Richmond, he visited (as is usual with
member'! leaving for their homes.) Mr. Davis,
when he WE 1 -: dr-ked by the President if he contem
plated going to the Trans-Mississippi Department,
if so, he, (the President) wished him to say to his
constituents over there, that he (Mr. Davis) for tho
first time since the commencement of this cruel,
bloody, and devastating war, saio a bright day
(Imonirg, and that by the time the next session of
Congress convened, be would be able to lay before
that which would astonish and electrify the people
of the Confederacy.
Queen Victoria Crazy.—A copy of the Liver
pool Mercury of March 3.2 th, stays that her Majes
ty i* g‘ and upon a literary undertaking connec
ted v , . •.*).« history of her reign has certainly been
stated in various Continental Journals, which
upon all maitors connected with Royalty in this
country, appear to possess some secret sources of
information not open to the homo journals. This
is credited to the London Review, and if correct
goes far to confirm the dark hints of Queen Victo
ria's mental aberration which bavo occasionally
found a place in the papers of late years.
.Lieut. Edward A. Weat/C. S. N., and See
ry to Commodore Tucker, was set upon by a
party of soldiers in the streets of Charleston,
Friday night last, and received a blow on the
head from a brie!:, of which he died the next
day. The assault was unprovoked, and the
guilty parties have been arrested.
The Peace Party in th- North.—A re
cent number of the Now York News contains
a very interesting communication, appealing
to the so-called “Peace Party” In the North to
organise upon a distinctive peace platform,
and. support only some such rnau as Thomas
11. Seymour, of or Chas. O’Conor,
of New York, for the neyt Presidency. It de
clares that the only logical question at issue
will be peace or war, and the principles of the
peace party go to the real issue, and not
alone to the measures by which Ihe war may
be conducted.
AThe Virginia Voujxbeeb Navy Cos. —We
learn that the amount of capital already sub

efthe enterprise has been subscribed and paid in.
Ninety per cent, of the prise profits go to the
Company and erfw, and ten percent, to the Gov

It would, of course be improper For the Direc

jection to the publication of the fact that their
first vessel will be commanded by a gallant officer

our inlets the first dark night.
An English ijtewspaperosays that only one

Pretty Goon Work for. One Brigade.—A
writer in the Lynchburg Republican gives the
.following results of the operations of Brig.
Gen. Win E. .Tones' brigade during its last,
campaign of seven engagements:
“The fruits of the engagements have been
1,767 prisoners, between Ido and 400 of the
enemy killed and wounded, 152 wagons, £7
pieces of artillery, and about 2000 horses and
mules. All this ba- been done during an un
usually severe Winter, without tents, without
comfortable elofhing, almost shoeless, and
with horses worn down by constant use and
scarcity of forage. •
. Mr. Josephus Camp has-' started anew pa
per in Atlanta, called the Reveille lie makes
the following editorial bow :
At the earnest solicitation of the reading
public, many prominent citizens, and work
ing men of this city, we have been induced to
begin the publication of the “Atlanta Daily
Reveille.” In politics it will support the Ad
ministration of ofir excellent Chief Magistrate,
President Davis. We believe that the salva
tion of the South depends, entirely, upon a
full and cordial support of the government of
our choice. For three long years Mr. Davis
has presided over the destinies of the South
ern people, with a devotion and self-sacri
ficing patriotism unsurpassed in the history
of the world, Some errors may, and in opin
ion, have been committed, but the wonder is,
how so gigantic a war as the one in which we
are now engaged could have been conducted,
without the commission of more. The politi
cal history of Mr. Davis is too familiar to the
reading public to need any eulogy at our
hands. It is enough to say that he holds in
the hollow of his bands the confidence of a
great people struggling to be free. Our des
tiny is his destiny, “our p-nplehis people, and
our God his God."
This Extra will advocate a rigorous prosecu
tion of the tear. till the great boon of Southern
independence afid constitutional liberty is
won ; and the more successfully to accom
plish this great lead, we intend to make tins
emphatically -. . sfl-c r-:' paper.
A New Loan. —While the Turkish

YXXVIII CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION.
SENATE,
V> ashjngton, April B.— Mr. Sherman intro
duced » bill to provide for a national currency,
secured by pledge of United States stocks,
being the House bill of Mr. Hooper, without
material change. Transferred to the Finance
Committee,
On motion of Mr. Wilson, the Secretary of
War was directed to communicate information
touching the recent arrest of Col. C. B. Fer
guson, Quartermaster of the United States
Army, and Capt. Win, Stoddard, Assistant
Quartermaster, lately in charge of the military
depot at Alexandria.
The Senate jhen proceeded to concur in.the
joint resolution amending the Constitution.
Mr. Sumner made a lengthy speech iti favor
of the proposition, and for the total abolition
of slavery.
Mr. Powell followed in opposition.
Mr, Saulsbury proposed an amendment, se
curing the liberty of the press, free speech,
and the- re-establishment of the principles of
the Missouri Compromise. Rejected.
Mr. Sumner withdrew his amendment here

r HOtJSE.
Washington, April 9.— Mr. Colfax offered
a resolution proposing the expulsion of Mr.
Long, of Ohio, for sentiments uttered yester
day in favor of the recognition of the South
ern Confederacy.
Mr. Colfax said he offered the resolution
not as the result of consultation, but on his
own Responsibility. If those sentiments were
to go unrebuked, we could not complain of
foreign governments recognizing that Confed
eracy. If thus, from this hall, the giving of
aid and comfort to the enemy is uurebuked,
you ought not to ask of your soldiers to im
perii their lives for those by whom desertion
is openly advocated. lie had pondered upon
his duty and fedt that lie had a double obliga
tion on him, in the presiding officer, to admin
ister the duties of the chair and rules impar
tial iy, and she other as the representative from
Indiana.
Mr. Cox said the Democratic portion of the
Ohio delegation were against recognition pf
the Southern Confederacy. He, Cox, would
not destroy.the Constitution, for, without it,
there could be no Union and, therefore, no
well regulated liberty. We have, he said to ,
take hack the old, to restore the Union. That
will be the issue for the next century, which
the Democratic party will contend for. We
will never give, up the country either to seces
sion or abolitionism.
. Mr. C. Allen, of Illinois, expressed his sur
prise that the Speaker should descend from
his chair and offer a resolution to expel the
gentleman from Ohio for words uttered in de
bate. It was without a parallel in the history
of the country. Although l>e, Allen, was
against secession, tne Akin
had a right to express his sentiments.
Mr. Harris, of Maryland, endorsed every
sentiment uttered by Long, yesterday, and he
would stand by him for weal or woe. If there
was any honest} 7 in the Democratic paity they
would rise like a hurricane and sweep away
those who are preying upon the very vitals of
the republic. He, Harris, was not only in
favor of recognizing the Southern Confedera
cy, but of acquiescing in secession.
A scene of great excitement existed, owing
to toe words of Harris, and for this lie was
compelled to take bis sent.
Fernando Wood said Long had declared
that lie would prefer recognition as an alter
native, rather than the people of the South
should be subjugated and exterminated, and
he would endorse this, and they could expel
; him for it. .
Mr. Mallory, not agreeing with Long, re
garded the position as extraordinary. He
yieleed the floor to Mr. Colfax, who, in order
to see in printed form what Long had really
uttered, moved that the further consideration
of the subject be postponed till Monday,
which was agreed to unanimously.
I Mr. Washbume, of Illinois, offered a resolu
|_ tion to expel Mr. Harris, of Md., for treason
j able sentiments.
Mr. Pendleton rose to a point of order, con
l tending that the resolutions could not be en
tertained.
Mr. Washbuine replied, insisting that rule
had been specifically- complied with.
The. Speaker, pro tem, decided that Mr.
Wasiibnrne's resolution was in order.
Mr. Washbmne moved the previous ques
tion which was seconded by the House.
Mr. Ancona moved to lay Mr, Washburne’s
resolution on the table. Not carried.
Mr. Washburne’s resolution to expel Mr.
Harris was not adopted, yeas 81, nays 58, a
two-third vote being necessary for that pur
pose.

Rumored Death ofGen. Forrest.
The Atlanta Intelligencer says “there
is a rumor on our streets that official in
formation has been received at Dalton, to
the effect that General Forrest was killed
between Jackson and Bolivar, Tennessee.
No particulars of the manner in which he
received his death blow is given, and we
trust the rumor is false. \Y e may per
haps receive further information on the
subject before going to press.”
All the Atlanta papers mentiou the
same rumor, but all discredit it. It seems
to us, as “bad news travels fast,” if this
were true, we should have had it by tele
gram from the West. Forrest is so reck
less in exposing himself that the public is
ever in dread of some such news. He *
has often been remonstrated with, and as
often promised to amend, but the din of
battle makes him incontrollable, and he
plunges at once into the thickest of the
strife. He owes it to the country audio

The influx of gold especially in Bom
bay, is producing the most singular
effects upon the natives. Late accounts
state that they play with coin like child
ren, purchase to please their fancies at
enormous rates, and have given up earth
en vessels, having -brass and copper in
stead* The women have thrown by their
former cheap ornaments, and now shine
in gold and pearl.
The influx of gold info India is an out
flux from England. When British man
ufacturees obtained their supplies of cot
ton from this country they made pay
merit by returning manufactures to us.
But India, for the interior staple sho fur
nishes demands gold, and the gold that
once goes there never returns. A con
continual and heavy drain upon the specie
of Great Britain is thus produced. This
is a process that no country can long
stand without a financial revulsion.
England gave emphatic evidence other
sense of the evil effects of such a policy when
she made war on China to compel her to bar
ter commodities instead ot demanding specio
for her teas and silks. It might be supposed
(hat she could and would use some such com
pulsory argument with India, but in this case
it would not avail, since that country is not
obliged to raise more cotton than is necessary
for its own consumption, and will not do so
except under the stimulus of extraordinary
prices, paid in gold and silver. England has
managed, by various shifts, to get, on for a
longer period than was generally thought
possible in this country without our cotton,
but ail that has yet occurred, so f<r from
showing that she can altogether and; -pen se with
it. only demonstrates, beyond doubt, that she
will be forced to come to us fir- dly. The ex
pedients she is employing will, in the end,
prove to have been the most unwi.-e nnd-seif
destructive course she could i.-ve .uioro J.
