Further investigation of the character and sentiment of the “Sons of Liberty” confirmed all that Vallan- digham had said and revealed a feverish desira of the general membership to as sert and maintain their rights. Lincoln’s callabout this time for 600,000 more men for the army and tho poposed draft to pro vide them intensified the wish to resist further prosecution of the war, and seemed to have ripened it into resolve.

There seemed to bo a hope on the. nar< of some membtrs of the order, how- 7,, r and it was a frequent topic of dis- eu>.i'jn, of establishing tt soparate oonfed- eriey of the Northwestern States, but tho neat majority—so far oj the Confederate conimistiouers and their subordinates could discover their preponderant feeling—were animated, notwithstanding their jealousy ani-cislike of FederaUu bority, bya strong ' destretS see it restorod sS it was. Thompson and his fellow-commissioners ttiutavored in every way possible to foster the idea of a Northwestern confederacy, to act in concert with the Southern, iho writer denies that Mr. Davia was a member of the order, or had anything to do with tan nit up be constitution. Excerpts from the declaration of principles are given as follows: _ „ ‘ . . ••The coh8titntion of tho United 8iatea of America," it was asserted, “was formed only for the ends and purposes therein distinctly declared aud specified, and the government tiieieby created was indorsed by the StateB acting in tneir several capacities of free and independent States, with powers sufficient to tho accomplishment of thoso ends and purposes and no other, the powers not deie- gited to that government being, by the Utter of the compact, expressly reserved to the States or to the people, respectively. Sovereignty resides in and with the people o! the Mutes respectively which arc parties totheconstituiion of the United Ststea. u cannot be aleniuted, neither can it be dele- pted. Some of its powers may be oxer by political affiliations and oa'hs, behind which there was no real legol authority, could bo banaled like an army. Tho 20th of July was fixed as tho date for outspoken resistance, but as the time drew near a conference of the delegates met at Chicago and decided to postpone action until; August 16. There were further postponements, so that the decisive step was never taken. The article closes with the following lct- “Toronto, Can., Angnat 23, 1864.—Hon. John Slidell, Minister to France, Hon. Jos. M Maaon, Minister to Gieat Britain— Gentlemen: In May last, accompanied by Hon. O. C. Clay, of Alabama, I was duly commissioned by the President of the Confederate States, provided with lands, and instructed to prooeed to Canada without delay and ascertain the pnblio sentiment and,feeling of tho United States, and, so fax as practicable and honorable, to utilize prej udices existing against the conduct of the war tor the advancement of the interests of v- * a asss&s2-«s#82auf men of tho North, with a view to forming - cannot be ao exercised. . . “The government, designated the United 8‘aha ot Amerioa, bus no sovereignty, be- atnse that is an attribnte belonging-to toe people in their organizations, and with which they have not endowed that govern - nent as a common agent. It was by the term of the compact, constituted by the 8'a>a through the express will of the peo ple thereof severally, such common agent, pi nae »nd exercise certain specified ana limited powets. It was authorized so far as trgatda its statutes and relations to ths common agent in the •xtrclue of powers carefully and md jealously delegated to it to cell itaolf Wnpreme,' but not ‘sovereign.’ Supremacy, to plainly intended by the tenor and spirit Of article 6 of the constitution, was created, defined anil limited by the sovereignties themselves. "In accordance with these principles, •he Federal government can exercise only delegated powers. Hence, if towe wiio shall have been ehoaen to administer that government shall assume to exercise powers which have not been delegated, they should be regarded and dealt with as usurper*. The reference to •inherent powers' is to State powers. Ths neees-ity on the part of functionaries of a cnnili.ntional "oyemmeni for Djfi sanction ditty arbitrary Ucrc'ue of power is but •noUiet fora, of the assertion q{ 'dtvine- did.i ^idi we reject aud repudiate, M , “*• pair iota of the revolution. "All power resides in the people, and is oiligatci always to be exerolsed for the ad- taking Atlanta, and tho call by draft for five hundred thousand additional troops, has produced a most wonderful change in the minds of the people of the Northwest ern Stater. Politicians, who threo weeks ago held the opinion that nothing was left them hut a struggle for liberty, even to the extent of force ot arms, are now willing to await and test the virtue of the ballot-box, and many of these are most active in dissuading their friends tmm any attempt at violence. t This remarkable change has been noticed by Lincoln and his cabinet, and I know what I write when I assure you that they are very apprehensive of the result. You are aware of the former intimaoy existing between Judge Black, of Pennsylvania, ntauiou und myself, and Stanton hss acted in many re spects shamefully, and has forfeited much of that respect which Judge Black formerly entertained for him. Three days ago, however Judge Black visited me in Toronto, delegated hy Stanton to do so, and stated to me t_at Stanton was oonvinoed of the present pros pect of Lincoln’s overthrow in November, and of ths ncecssit- o! something being dons whloh in that event would sihiy the exasperated state of pnblio feeling. At this time Stanton does not believe that anj thing exeept a determined favorable turn iu mili tary affairs will prevent tho defeat ot the Republican party, and Judge Black his come to me to learn the state of feeling in the Confederate States and IS to know whether I was able to jay if negotiations for peace could be opened with out tho ultimatnw of fiDal separation. I am given to understand that a preposition will be considered which will secure" us in all our rights, present and prospective. I wa3 not suthorized to make a diiect and positive reply, bnt said that the Em peror of the French hail apparently sympathized with ns, hut had ut terly failed to. offer us si-1; on tho contrary, had used us as a metns to affront tho United States before all tho world by making President Lincoln repu diate tho cherished Monroe doctrine, pud that W6 were under no obligations to the French Emperor; that England, in hrr sel fishness had oast us off, and while her peo ple sympathized with ns, Lord Palmerston was willing to see us exterminated, if there by England could enlarge her cotton fields and increase her carrying trade. . Judge Blaek has rotnrntd to V. nsbingtnn, however, after promising to communicate with me further without delay. In the meantime the Chicago convention is tp 'bo held next week, and as the time app oaohts I think General McClellan’s chances for the nomination improving. I do consider, however, no matter who is elected, that it is reasonable to believe that peace may bo restored without tho “restoration act ihe union as it was."

Grant was advancing on ltichmond aud the papers of the North contended that the battles of Spotsylvania, Wilderness land Cold Harbor were 'victories and that Grant’sjnasterly flank movements would eventually result in destroying Lee s army iu front of Richmind, that Snennan was advancing on Atlanta with sufficient force and that ho would inevitably defeat Johnston iu Georgia.

The mujtary situation is sncli that Lincoln would be re lieved by such interference. .

It will bo obstf ved that in this war the Confederate Slates have had to fight all the world—Ireland, Ger many, Switzerland, Sweden and the Indian Territory, having sent forward thousands, and uniting them with our own slaves and renegades in great numbers to work the destruction of our people. But, thank God, our armies are in the best of Bpirits, buoyant and con fident England and France refuse to sell ua ships, and in addition allow to oonticuo a blockade which is dearly illegal, aud iuvitca the destruc tion of onr commerce.

With the two Uichfea of thawing sno^r and ice which covered the ground, marcbiDg aDd all out door exercise was not to be desired, but great crowds made their wsy from early morning towards tho oapitol to viow the dead remains of Senator'jLogsn. The time of lying in state was too short to give opportunity for all to p3S3 by. At 11 o’olook the doors were clcsed to the general public, and while two tanks of Grand Army wum filed on either side of tho bier the undertaker screwed down the lid of the casket. The belated delega tion ot friends from Cbioage arrived a few minutes later, and the casket was reopened to enable them to take a last look at the body. At 12:10 the pall-hearers took their places end oonveyed the casket to tho Sen ate obamher. The hall of the Senate was tastefully though not elaborately draped, and the chair of the dead Senator, the sec. ond of the innermost row from the centre aielo, was covered with crape. The olerk s desk was almbst bidden in a bank of floral emblems, flanked on right aud left respectively by a huge anchor ot white, and an immense representation of tho badge of the Fifteenth Aimy corps. Two or threo hundred additional obairs had been arranged in rows for the accommoda tion of those who had been invited to dc honor to the deoeased. The Senators came in singly and in pairs and took tho seats assigned them on the loft of the presiding officer’s desk, leaving the three front rows vuoant. At a quarter be fore 12 o’clock, clad in their silken robes of offloe, entered w ithont formal announcement Chief Justice Welle and Associate Justices fcredley, Grey, Field and Matthews, to gether with the officers of the Supreme Court, iind took the scats assigned them to the r-'ht of U*e presiding ollicer a dvttk.. Behind"them came memb.xs of tho House of ltepiesentativfc., beaded by the officers of that body, and were conducted to their seats in the rear of the chamber. The lumbers of the diplomatic coips, many of vhorn came in dress uniform, wereufhered into seats upon the right, and behind them cmio representatives ot the adminis- t ation-Sscretarys Bayard, Enm X Whitney and Attorney, twucrsl Garland, who were iffRtefliteWSfr present, for although in better health than yesterday, bis physicians had counselled him not io expose himself to tho weather. The choir assigned him was left vacant The galleries were thoroughly filled, though, thunks to the admirable police ar rangements, planned by the sergeant-at- arms and carried out by hla deputies and assistants, there was no orowding, and nothing occurred to mar the proceedings. The Beats lcserVed for the family of the President were oocupied by Aire. Cleveland, Mrs. Folsom, Mrs,Vitos. Mrs. Mauuiugand Mrs. Lamont • - , At 12 o’clock a hush fell over the aSsem blage, and as the procession at, mourners entered tho north door of fho chamber every occupant of a seat upon tho floor rose to his feet.

Logan, brothers of the General, Miss Andrews, tho affiauced of John A. Logan, Jr., and Mary Brady, a cherished trieud of the family and for years a member of the household, composed the mourning procession. They were ushered to seats upon the left front. Following the mournera came the funeral proeession, headed by Rev Dr Newman, the officiating clergyman; ltev.

The negro was finally oanght, thrown upou the billiard table, ono holding him while the other deliberately turned turpentine up on his breast and abdomen, finally turning goodly quantity in the leg of his panta loons. 1 uen in high glee a match was struck nnd the unfortunate viotim net on fire.

A DAKOTA VOLCANO. fhnnu - gut r.i-u ir- , i* . Httkor 11.0 Lnr.ll.. Bismarck, D. T., December 29..—A report rescues hero from the Bad Lands that an immense geyser of fire » a» discovered fin that region yesterdny. Two hunters were startled by seeing a blaze of fire shoot np over a hundred feet, aud for an hour the flames which same loating through the cruel ot the earth rose over tbirt'y leet in the sir. The snow was melted about tho place for a quarter of a mile, and the effect upon tho atmosphere was quite percCpliblu. For a year there have hern burning coal reins in the Bad Lands, bnt never until now ha/o they devehjpcd any explosive symptoms. Scientists who have trawled over this re gian have accounted for the strange forma tion by the supposition that at one timoihe area was an iiuatCDse ccal bed, whloh be came Ignited through some interim! cause, and as it burned away the orust of the earth fell in. This theory has been strengthened by the "burning mines,” or veins of owl, which have been burning over since the dis covery of the country. It is believed tbo eauso of the great geyser of fire which bursts forth is the gas accumulated by tho burning ooa), and the explosion was the natural result of tha peut-up foroea. When last heard from large flames of fire were be ing emitted at intervals of from ten to fif teen minutes. RAILROADS BLOCKED BY SNOW.
