After which the Senate adjourned to 3 p. m. Troup. Mr. Stephens’ Resolutions. The following resolutions have-been intro duced in the House of Representatives by Hon. Linton Stephens : The General Assembly, of the State of Georgia do resolve ; Ist. That the independence of the Southern Confederate States of America, basqd upon the constitutional compact between the sovereign States composing the Confederacy and main* tained through nearly four years of gigantic war, justly claims from the world its recogni tion as a rightful fact. 2d. That all the States which composed the late American Union, as well those embraced within the present United States as those within the Southern Confederacy are what the original thirteen States were declared to be by our fathers of 1776 and acknowledged to be by George the 111 of England, independent and sovereign, not as one political community, but as States, each one of them constituting such a “People’ 7 as have the inalienable right to terminate any government of their former choice by withdrawing from it their consent, just as the original thirteen, through their common agent, acting for and in the name of each one of them by the withdrawal of their consent, put a rightful termination to the Brit ish government, which had been established over them with their consent and eager desire. 3d That the sovereignty of individual States is the only basis of perminent peace on the American continent, and will, if the voice of passion and war can once be hushed and reason allowed to resume her sway, lead to an easy and lasting solution of the matters of controversy involved in the preseat lament able war, by simply leaving all the States free to form their political associations witb one another—not by force of arms, which excludes the idea of -consent”—but by a rational con sideration of their respective interest, growing out of their national situations. 4th. That as any point of controversity in the present war is the settlement of the polit ical associations of the States, no treaty of peace can be perfected consistently with the sovereignty of the individual States with out State action on the part of at least those States whose preferences may justly be re garded as doubtful and have not yet been ex pressed through appropriate organs, and therefore opposition to all State co-operation, in perfecting a peace, cannot be consistent with a desire for its establishment on a basis of sovereignty of the States. sth. That we hail with gratification the just and sound sentiment coming from a large and growing party in the North, that all associa tions of these American States must be volun tary and not forcible, and we give a hearty response to their proposition to suspend the conflict of arms and hold a convention of States to originate a plan for permanent peace. 6th. That the appropriate action of such a con vention would be not to form any “agreement or compact” between States, bat only to frame and propose a plan of peace, and the assembly of such a convention, for such a purpose, would be re lieved trout ail possible constitutional objection by the C'-usoi.t of the two governments, and with such coDs-.iirs the proposed convention would but act as commissioners for the negotiation of peace, subject the ratification of both government?, and in ah points involving the sovereignty or in tegri’y of the Stalest, subject also to the ratifica tiun of the particular States tr hose 'sovereignty might be so involved. 7th. That we respectfully but most earnestly urge upon onr own Government, the propriety and wisdom of not only expressing a desire for peace through Presidential messages and Con gressional manifestoes of making, or all suitable occasions, and especially just after signal suc cess**? of our arms, official, open and unequivocal ojfcrs ;o treat for peace through the medium of a couventi m States, leaving oar adversary to ac eepr our ‘jff -rs, or by rejecting them, to prove to his own people that he is waging this unnata *al war, not for peace nor the good of his count! y, but for purpose? of the most unholy and*danger ou- ambition.

We have at last struck the Tennessee river, and if present indications do not fail, will cross the river in a day or two at Florence, three miles from this place. The army moved from Gadsden to which place k came after the Dalton trip on the 22d inst., and crossing Sand Mountain reached Decatur on the night of the 26th inst. Our skirmish lines were drawn around this plaee, and the works invested by them only, Stewart’s and Cheatham’s corps occu pied the different roads ! eading from the town, and went into bivouac. Decatur was supposed to be garrisoned by 2,500 or 3,000 troops in very stroug works, of which I had good ocular proof, visiting the skirmish line quite frequently. It was not Gen. Hood’s intention to invest the place with the view of taking it: for it would have cost a heavy sacri fice of life, especially as the enemy was reinforcing, and had his gunboats in the river to operate in con cert. But he was obliged to delay several days here, and keep the ’enemy inside by threatening an at tack in order to cover the passage of a large supply train and Lee’s corps. When these had passed, Lee was making hard for Florence. We very leis urely drew off our skirmishers and marched on after him, and while the Yankees were occupied at De catur, Lee crosses the river and occupies Florence, and our Pontoons are thrown across. We rest here for a couple of days and then cross over on our way to Middle Tennessee. In our affair at Decatur there were the usual number of killed and wounded on the skirmish line and owing to some neglect eight or nine of Gowan’- skirmishers were captured. With this ex ception there was no other [os-. The whole Tennessee Valley- from Decatur to Tuscumbia is devastated and #scene of desolation. The rich plantations stretched for miles, covered with grass, like a vast plain, with here and there the brick chimneys of former elegant mansions destroyed by fire. Everything bears the aspect of grim visaged war. Tiie Murder of Six Confederate Soldiers at St. Louis. PARTICULARS OP THE EXECUTION'. Several paragraphs have been published from the 'latest Yankee papers, announcing the intention to shoot six Confederate soldiers in retaliation for six Yankees who were killed during General Price’s expedition. The mur der took place at St, Louis on the Ist instant Six Confederates were elected from the pris*> oners in the Grabot Street prison, but one of them proving to have been a teamster, his name was stricken irom the death roll and that, of George F. Buncb, of the Third Missouri cavalry, was substituted. The men were not informed of their fate until the day of execu tion. The St. Louis Democrat gives the fol lowing details of their murder : At about two o’clock on Saturday afternoon the six men were taken from the prison, placed in a covered wagon, and escorted to the place of execution by a detachment of the Tenth Kansas, followed by a number of other sol diers, and by a few citizens. Fort No. 4, a short distance south of Lafayette Park, was selected as the place of execution, and to that point the procession marched without music. On the we3t side of the fort six posts had been set in the ground, each with a seat at tached, and each tied with a strip of white cotton cloth, afterwards used in bandaging the eyes of the prisoners. Fifty-four men were selected as the executioners, forty-four of them belonging to the Tenth Kansas and ten to the Forty-first Missouri, Tbirty-six of these com posed the front firing party, eighteen being re served in case they should not do the work effectually. About three o’clock the prisoners arrived on the ground and sat down, attached to the posts. They all appeared to be more or less affected, but considering the circumstances, remained remarkably firm. Father Ward and Rev. Mr. McKim spoke to the men in their last moments, exhorting them to put their trust in God. The row of posts ranged north and south, and at the first on the north was Asa Y. Ladd, on his left was George Nichols, next Harvey H. Blackburn, George T. Bunch, Charles W. Minniken and James W. Gates.— Ladd and Blackburn sat with perfect calmness, with their eyes fixed on the ground, and did not speak. Nichols gave no sign of emotion at first, but 3&t with seeming indifference, scraping the ground with his heel. He asked one of the surgeons if there was any hope of a postponement, and being assured that there was none, looked more serious, and frequent ly ejaculated, "Lord have mercy on my poor soul!” Again he said ; “Oh, to think of she news that will go to father and mother !” After the reading of the sentence by Colonel Heinriehs, Minniken expressed a desire to say a few words. He said: “Soldiers, and all of you who hear me, take warning from me. I have been a Confederate sol dier four years aud have served my country faith fully, lam now to be shot for what other men have done, that I had no hand in, and knew nothing about. I never was a guerrilla, and I am sorry to bo shot for what I had nothing to do with, and what lam not guilty of. When I took a prisoner I always treated him kindly, and never harmed a man after he surrendered. I hope God will take me to his bosom when lam dead. 0 Lord be with me.” While the Sergeant was bandaging his eyes Minniken said—“ Sergeant, I don’t blame you. I hope we will all mebt in Heaven. Boys, when you kill me, kill me dead.” The eyes of all being bandaged, they bade each other farewell. “Good bye, George,” said one; “Farewell, Nicholas,” said another: “Good bye, Blackburn,” uttered several ; and two or three of them aaid, “Boys, farewell to you all; the Lord have mercy on our poor souls.” The firing party was about ten paces ollv Some of the Kansas men appeared to be reluctant to fire upon the prisoners, but Captain Jones told them it was their duty ; that tnej should have no hesitation, as these men had taken the life of many a Union man who was as innocent as them selves. At the word, the thirty-six soldiers fired si multaneously. thejdischarge sounding like a single explosion. The aim of every man was true. One or two of the victims groaned, and Blackburn cried out, “Oh, kill me quick !” In five minutes they were all dead, their heads falling to one side, and their bodies swinging' around to the sides of the posts, and being kept from falling by the pinions on their 'arms. Five of them were shot through the heart, and the sixth received three balls in his breast, dying almost instantly. / FITE DOLLARS l PER MOUTH. [From the Cincinnati Commercial, Oct. *25.] 1 Review of Hood’s Army as it Passed through Villauow. On the capture of the garrison at Dalton, Ga.. Hood agreed to release the officers, but before permission to go was received, the whole rebel army passed along—one portion taking a road to the south, while another pressed west, in the direction of Lafayette. An opportunity was thus afforded Colonel Johnson and his officers to review, as it were, Hood's whole force—a privilege probably giv en by accident, and one of such rare admis sion thai the information thereby gained has peculiar interest. Several officers counted.the nnaiber of in fantry regiments, and in the three corps found the aggregate 10 be about one hundred and seventy. The regiments will average two hundred men. Some have less than one hun dred, while a few others, having apparently escaped the general wear and tear of the cam paign, run up to four and five hundred.— Cleburne's division was counted, and footed up about three thousand seven hundred, rank and file. Each division has four guns, the whole number of the latter ,being reckoned between fifty and sixty. The wagon train was long, but had more capacity for howling supplies than of the supplies themselves.— The rebel soldiers talked a great deal of a train ot supplies of four hundred wagons, which was momentarily expected from Blue Mountain. The rumor was abroad that it had arrived. The three corps of infantry were very closely'calculated, and footed about thir ty-five thousand. During the time our officers were in captiv ity (three days) they received one ration of corn meal and fresh beef, and in no iustance did they observe any other articles of diet among the rebels, except when they broke from Hue ranks on the marches for persimmon trees and apple orchards. Yet everything in their language and bearing indicated that they were determined to fight awhile longer. Their elation over the fancied fatal trick upon Sherman relieved the fierceness of their con du :t towards our prisoners; but a deep-seated, indignant hatred was never invisible. They were ragged and thinly clad, having as a general thing, only pantaloons, shirt and hat in their Inventory of clothing, the first two greasy and tattered, the last shocking affairs, in multitudinous variety. Asa general thing they were tolerably well shod, though in one of htewart s divisions one of*our officers coun ted over three hundred barefooted privates.— Not more than one in ten have blankets, and much suffering must have ensued through the keen frosty nights now prevailing. °Their marches were conducted in three parallel col umns, moving rapidly and compactly and with out straggling. Three hours, from four to seven, a. m., on the morning referred to, were occupied jn passing a given point by these three columns. In the line distinction as to apparel, between the officers and men, was nearly obliterated. Legimetitai disepline seemed a little loose, and privates appeared to comment upon the commands of their immediate officers with an unction and broadness of diction which has always been native to the taste and instinct of the highly polished, intelligent and esthet ic lower orders of the South, surnamed the sunny. The guns were nearly all Napoleons, of the ave rage calibre. The public animals were in pretty good condition—quite equal to pulling along light field batteries, empty wagons, and careering un der the wiry, not over fat, grizzled and besmeared cavaliers. Hood is . described as a thin, stooping man, with a physical toumure embellished by a wooden leg, and a wilted arm. My informant dwelt upon ’ the dreary, wearied, baleful expression of his grey eyes lack lustre, unspeculative orbs, that tell of overwrought nerves, sleepless nights and settled melancholy. His speech is slow, and marked by courteous gravity. “He could nev er smile, lam told, “without a facial revolu tion.” The general was well mounted, and was closely followed by an orderly bearing his cratch. The salient features of his dress were a slouch hat and an enveloping grey coat, iined with fla ming red. Cheatham is robust, florid, and together with nis staff, is better dressed than other generals— that is, his uniform was probably donned last spring. Cleburne looks as Irish as Sir Patrick O’Pleni po, but talks without Hibernian accent. A faded cap, not over large, was held on his head by the band being reversed, and taking a reef abound the malevolent organs—including amativeness—at the back of the head. In fact, so peaked and largely developed is that portion of Pat Cleburne’s skull opposite his pronounced snuff tray, that those who see him for the first time reckon it is bia moat appreciable and frappant physical point. His division, by the way, seemed very anxious to assault the fort at Dalton, and would have formed the storming column. When the garrison marched out the Cleburnes could hardly be restrained from firing at the “damned white niggers,” as they termed the officers of the garrison. . B * te > not saying it for the sake of alliteration, is a brute—a gaunt, stooping, shabby party, of dark complexion and lowering aspect. He di rected Colonel Johnson, after his surrender at Dal ton, to go to a block house, three miles up the road, and “tell the d—d fools that they were sur rounded by a large army, and would be blown to the devil if they refused to surrender instantly.” Colonel Johnson rejoined that he felt sufliciently humiliated by the necessity for his own surrender, and would go on no such errand. “Yes, God damn you,” growled Bate*‘l should think you are conscious of overwhelming disgrace in herdiog with niggers.” This same truculent general grew very indignant that an agreement had been made to parole our officers, and asked the Colonel com manding the guard, in the hearing of our officers, to turn them over to his division, and he would soon dispose of the sons of b—g. The Mississippi troops were prominent in heap ing abase and contumely upon the prisoners. Financial Matters in Paris.— The Lon don Times Pari3 correspondent says : “Un easiness in commercial circles has been in creased by a statement which appeared in the papers that the demand for gold at the bank of France is increasing, and that 6,000,- 000 were withdrawn during the la3t two days of the week. Commercial failures are like wise spoken of. A Curious Cass. —A carious case is about to be tried in Paris. A lady is to prove in court that she is not the mother of her child ren, or rather the children which her husband attributes to her. This matter is to be demon strated by decisive arguments, the lady herself demanding to plead. It is said that amusing revelations will be made. Escape of ten Rebsl Prisoners from the Elmira Camp.—The Rochester Express says : On last Thursday night .ten rebel prison ers escaped by -burrowing under several of their own tents near the fence, and were about five weeks at the business. The earth was disposed of by carrying it in haversacks aud throwing it into sinks. The affair was very ing' 1 Gy managed, and the runaways have n covered, being doubtless concealed in i.- .iciaity by copperhead friends. Two rebel prisoners were released last week bv taking the oath of allegiance as prescribed. The Action or the Bermuda Authorities tx the Case of the Captors of the Steam er Roanoke. —The Bermuda papers comment very severely upon the course of the Colonial authorities towards the regularly commission ed officers of the Confederate prize Steamer Roanoke, Captain Brain and his officers and men having been arrested at St. Georges, and r compelled to spend three nights in a British Jail, on a charge admitted to be untenable, and bail retused. This bourse has been pur sued at the instigation and demand of the Federal authorities. It appears that Captain. Brain, after capturing the steamer, could not carry her into Wilmington, and had to burn her and land her passengers at Bermuda. To the surprise of aU, the Confederates were ar rested and sent to jail. They were then ex- I amined before a court, and Captain Brain’s commission was produced, and his letter of J instructions from the Secretary of the Confed erate States Navy. The signatures of Mr. Mallory were proved by My. Fry. The letter of instructions were as follows : Confederate States op America, ) Navy Department, > Richmond, May 26, 1364. ) Acting Master John C. Brain, Confederate States Navy. Richmond. Va.: Sir : You will herewith receive an appoiu:- ment of Acting Master in the Navy, and will proceed to Wilmington and there make the necessary arrangements to capture upon the high seas the Federal steamer Roanoke, or the ‘steamers Morning or Evening Star, all of which, vessels are on a line running between Now York and Havana. . In case you succeed iu capturing either c the above steamers, you will brhig her and the prisoners of war into a Confederate port. The strictest regard for the rights of neutral? and neutral property must be observed, and discipline and subordination preserved among officers and men under your command, as a matter of security and i iceess. You. are authorized to appoint three acting masters’ mates and three acting third assistant engineers] reporting their names to the De partment as early as practicable, and you will also report your proceedings under this order I am, respectfully, Yeur obedient servant, R. S. MALLORY, Secretary of the Navy. If the prisouers cannot be sent into the Confederacy you will parole them, taking their parole in writing, embracing the rank, grade, name and age, and taking their pledge not to serve against the Confederate States during the war, unless regularly exchanged. S. R. MALLORY, Secretary. Mr. Richard Darrell, on the part of the at torney-general, then withdrew the charge, and the accused were released. Point Lookout—Treatment of our P?.is onkrs by Negro Guards.—A gentleman who was a prisoner at Point Lookout during all o: last summer, in relating the horrors of prison life there, gives the Richmond Examiner a vivid picture of the atrocious treatment which our prisoners had to endure from the negro guards there : With the fall of Fort Pillow commenced a new era in the history of Point Lookout. The accounts given of its capture by the abolition papers, in which it was falsely charged that the negro soldiers of the garrison were nuts sacred by Forrest, were read before the troop3 at Point Lookout, and from that moment the prison became a hell on earth, it was ljke applying the torch to the magazine. The ne gro guards had been insolent and overbearing enough before, but when the story of Fori Pillow was told them they became worse than savages—true, living demons. Maddened by a passion of revenge they commenced what they called “retaliating” on our men—visiting upon them every punishment and torture the most devilish and cruel spirit could devise. No check or restraint was held upon them by their officers, and they were left free to follow out the instincts of their brutal and savage natures.. Our men were shot down like dogs on the slightest pretext, and in some cases they were murdered in cold blood while lying in bed. The reign of terror at one time was so complete that our prisoners feared to step out from their tents even to obey the calls of nature! In one single night, just after news-from Fort Pillow reached camp, four of our soldiers were wantonly shot while lying in their tents. This raised such an outcry among our men that the prison authorities were obliged to take some action in the matter. An investi gation was apparently gotten up, but the whole tiling wtis glossed over by charging that the shooting was accidental ! It was a com mon thing to see the guards when they were being posted just before night loading and brandishing their guns, adding, with great glee, “Well I will bag one d—d # rebel.son of a to-night, sure.” Shooting our men be came such a common thing that for the while a perfect terrorism prevailed, and our prisc#- ers were really afraid to step out of their tents or speak a word. Tbi3 state of things, we learn, ba3 greatly abated, and some little check is now’ exercised over the negro guards. But for weeks after the fall of Fort Pillow they were left to do as they pleased.
