requested to inquire, and report to
this House at a day as early as lprn
ticable, as to the expediency and
policy of anthorizing the President to
call out and place in the service of
the Confederate States, during the
war, all the male negroes who are
resident or owned in the Confederate
States, between the ages of 20 and
30 years, at the time the said call
shall be made, for the parpose here
inafter mentioned-that is to say, as
teamsters, cooks, nurses in the vari
ous hospitals, and laborers or mie
chanics in the arsenals, on railroads,
in workshops, forges. furnaces, foun
'dries, and manufactories of the Con
federate States, or which may here
after be under their control, engaged
in the production of salt, saltpetre,
lead, iron, leather, and such other
articles necessary and proper for the
efficient and successful conduct of
military operations against the public
enemy, under such legal limitations
and restrictions as should secure the
owner of property a just and reasona

negroes, on the one hand. and the
Confederate States their, services on

The Sky Looks Clear.
During the past five or six days,
news of they most cliheritng character
has been received and published by
us, showing conclusively that we are
destined to prove the victors in this
great stirugle, though it may require a
long time to settle things satisfactoril
ly. The enemy have become so dis
mayed of late that they no longer pos
sess the professed courage boasted of
in the beginning of this terrible
war. They liud that though it is a
matter of ease to devastate the farm of
some farmler in an unprotected spot,
they caunot make the sons of the
South flinch when drawn up in bat
tie array. They have also been isad
ly disappointed in discovering the re
sources of .ur country.
The celebrated (General. of thle
North,hlave thus ar not exhibited any
me.tal by which they caui frigiltcen ,ur

requisite valor to entitle thelin to the

ESRVii,. E Nsl'RRPETlON.--Weltarn
f'sh a gentleman just down from
BastrOp, that a horrible and deeply
plotted schemo oi'a servile insurree
ticta w.'ts datec'tled in that county otte
day last week. It extended fiiom Cunl
ninghain'sto Austin, and was brought
to light by some gentleman who over
heard two of the negroes talking in
reference to the proposed insurrection -
ary movement. The plan was, that
the negroes should secure all the fire
arms, knives, dtc., that they could get
their hands on, and so soon as Allen's
regiment should leave Austin, they
would kill their masters, and all
others ilwho might lie in the way, take
their horses and go over to the Yan
kees, oi make for Mexico.
About 60 negroes were implicated.
4i5 of them, upon a separate examin
ation, making about the same state
ment, as related above. What has
been done with the negroes, we have
not heard.
This should he a hint to the peo
ple throughout the State, to put out
active and vigilant Patrols in every
county, to be on the alert day and
night.-Lagrang 'T'rue Issue.

been known that Gen. Cass has re

cause of the North in this war. At

we quote :
