Major and Commandant of CDnscripts of Ga dQli« Wednesday Evening. A Bright Day Dawning.—A correspondent of the Atlanta Register, at Dalton, states that the Hon.

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.

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.

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."

E- citing Discussion in the Federal Congress— Recognition of the Confederacy , etc. [From the Chattanooga Gazette, of the 13th inst.] 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 tofore oll'ered. 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. -*• * • ILalest Mews Irons Use 5/staled States.

The old flag which was torn down by rebels was raised to-day, while Cooper’s Sixth Tennessee hand sweetly discoursed down with the traitors aad with the stars and stripes.

The Atlanta Tress. — We are grati fied to be once more in receipt of the At lanta papers, all of which have coma to' hand except the Register, which we-trust will soon follow suit. Anew candidate for public favor has also been received in the “Atlanta Daily Reveille,” a spirited anconeal little sheet, published by Camp, N T iies L Cos., at the office ot the Baptist Banner, Josephus Camp, Esq., Editor. —Macon Telegraph. 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.

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.
