BOGUS CURRENCY.
Our readers in Southern Illinois, espe
cially, and others, would do well to notice
the paragraph from our Cairo correspon
dent, in the financial column on the fourth
page.
THE NEW CONSTITUTION.
We print to-day from a revised copy the
Kew Constitution framed by the late State
■Convention at Springfield. It is quite time
earnest and loyal citizens in Illinois were
on the alert to defeat the schemes of these
tricksters who are attempting to make
Egyptian politics supreme in this State for
the next ten years. Let every man read
the Constitution, mid from such reading
;md study, make up his mind on. which
•ride he win be classed when election day
arrives. Not one voter who sympathizes
with the rebels will go against the Consti
tution, not one single pro-slavciy man but
will lend it his hearty support, and these
machinations are too pernicious and dan
gerous to be allowed to pass unscotched and
■unscathed. The indignation of the people
of Illinois must blast and wither forever
the party hacks and political stagers who,
being in the minority, succeeded by the
cry of “ All for country, no party,” in gain
ing a temporary power, and have left this
Constitution with its enormities to disgrace
and imperil our Stale.
THE PCMSBMENT OF REBELS.
The debates in Congress yesterday indi
cate £that our legislators are nearing the
desired point where the deserved penalties
will be let loose upon the-rebels. Head
the bold and earnest words of Lovejov,
aimed straight at the heart of the monster
iniquity, the source of all our National
woes. The tokens are brightening. The day
dawns slowly, but it is at hand when the
chains shall fall from the limbs of
every slave of a rebel master. ‘Well may
pro-slavciy men like Garrett Davis and
TVickJiffo and the infamous Vallandigham
labor to avert the blow which will leave
few slave owners on Southern soil They
know that the vole practically abolishes
slaver}’ by leaving only an insignificant
moiety of blucks still in fetters. God help
onr legislators to strike boldly and fear not.
The age is ripe for just this event, the con
dign punishment of the traitors, and in
Iheir punishment an institution hateful to
the humanity of the age is shattered and
destroyed. Let the people strengthen their
representatives. Pour in upon them pe
titions, letters, delegations. Let the rebels
suffer, let slavery fall. It caused the war
It has madly dared a grapple at the throat
of the nation, and its fate deserved for its
enormities and iniquities In all time must
not stay ncr be stayed.
Tlie Territory of Lacuiwa.
This name, a Shawnee word, signifying
Indian, in the bill brought forward by Ho a. Mr.
Pomeroy, of Kansas. lor organizing a territory
of that name, applies to the entire region
lying between Kansas and Texas, west of
Arkansas and cast of Colorado, Texas and
New Mexico. This district has hitherto
borne the appellation of the Indian territory,
and Mr. Pomeroy has simply translated it into
Shawnee.
The boundaries recited in the bill are the
same as those of the Indian territory. One o[
the peculiarities in the bill is that it proposes
to allow the ludiaus in the territory all the
privileges of white men in any other terri
tory, free participation in government affairs,
and equality before the law. This is neces
sary, as some of the tribes are far advanced in
civilization, and the territory can be organ
ized in no other way. Nor is the feature a
new one, as a bill was proposed in Congress
come years ago, by Mr. Johnson, of Arkansas,
making similar provisions.
The Bankrupt BUI,
After a careful and thorough canvass of the
Senate by the friends of the bankrupt bill they
declare thtil there is a large majority in favor
of the measure in that body; and that a num
ber of Senators, among them. Senators Colla
mer, Grimes, Harris, Trumbull, MeDougall,
and Carliic, express a willingness to take
speedy action upon it. The time has no .v ar
rived, they assert, when a judicious and gen
eral bankrupt law, favoring both the debtor
and creditor interested, should be promptly
passed in order to rlieve- that large class ofin
dividuals whose uueiness has been prostrated
by the rebellion.

have spared himself the humiliation and his
people the knowledge that he was driven pell

that his dead would be decently buried bv the

IVAIFS FROM CAIRO.
[From oar own Reporter.]
Cairo, April 22.
The river is eight inches above the point
reached In 1858, when the town was sub
merged. Since that time the levee has been
raised two feet and otherwise materially
strengthened. Bird’s Point is covered and
abandoned. Fort Holt lies fathoms deep.
Mound City is entirely under water—three
feet of the “Mound” only visible. Loco
motion is suspended, and pedestrians find
their occupation gone. The lower wards of
the Hospital arc being cleared of patients,
and measures are being taken to remove them
to Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis, before the
flood recedes and the malaria from the stag
nant standing pools ot water begins to ar
rive. It this is not speedily done, our
wounded will die like sheep. Gen. Strong
has taken the matter in hand, and from his
well known energy and forethought, desirable
results are expected. The Illinois Central
Railroad now make the trip via Mound City,
and although compelled to leave Cairo at a
much earlier hour than heretofore, there is
scarcely an interrmption to travel.
THE SEW CONSTITUTION,
Sam Buckmaster of Alton, one of the most
violent of the apostles of the Egyptian enor
mity, Teclpt, the “New Constitution,” was
in Cairo yesterday, manufacturing influence
and capital for bis bantling. The majority of
the Convention are peculiarly fortunate in the
selection of an instrument to secure its adop
tion. Sam has that necessary sunviicr in mode,
fortitiT in re, to make the worse appear the
belter cause, and will doubtless secure a large
propoition of the army vote. lam told that
out of eleven regiments he has secured the
entire vote with the exception of less than a
hundred. For log rolling and pipe laying
commend me to the Mon. Sam Buckmastcr of
Alton.
Tim ILLINOIS WOUNDED.
It will gratify the friends of the sous of Illi.
nois who suffered in the battle of Pittsburg,
to know that the wounded have all been gen
erously cared for by our noble-hearted Gov
ernor. I was a witness to his anxiety, and
the Governor’s aid afforded them on the battle
field, ami of their subsequent transfer to
steamers, and shipment to home and friends.
Gov. Yates has earned for himself a name
which will live in the hearts of the citizens of
Illinois, and if ever opportunity occurs, they
will repay with ten fold interest, the debt of
gratitude they owe. The “Louisiana” is
detailed to remove the wounded from Sa
vannah.
CAIRO POST OFFICE.
For months past well founded complaints
have been made concerning the management
of tbe Post Office at this Post. Frcquently
letters for Chicago, from soldiers in the field,
were twenty days in reaching their destination.
Upon proper representations being made at
the Department, an investigation was ordered,
:md Mr. Armstrong of the Chicago Post Office,
was deputed to conduct it. The investigation
has demonstrated that the difficulty arose, not
from any mismanagement of the Cairo officer,
but from the enormous increase of the busi
ness. I; wr.s impossible to dispatch mail mat
ter as fast as it accumulated. This will be
evident when one considers the vast number
of soldiers and sailors on the Tennessee and
the Mis.-issippi, every one of whom arc writing
•men. Ordinarily the correspondence of the
army, as is evidenced by the letters received
hero, reaches the enormous aggregate
of ' 35,000 letters daily, and after a
battle, for several days it exceeds 103,-
000. For some days after the battle of
Pittsburg over one hundred thousand letters
reached Cairo daily. Cairo mails direct to
most of The towns in the State, aud it there
fore became a manifest impossibility to for
ward the correspondence at once. When Mr.
Armstrong arrived, over seventy thousand
letters were thus detained. These he has
caused to be made up into packages of a hun
dred each, and sent to the three great distrib
uting ofiie.es of the West, Chicago, Indianapo
lis and Cincinnati, to be from thence mailed
to their destination. It would otherwise be
impossible to dispose of the accumulation.
The newspapers will be similarly disposed of.
The ordinary daily dispatch of letters for a
week has exceeded thirty-five thousand, and
the average daily number for a month is
nearly six thousand. On Saturday the sale of
stamps alone reached $2,032—a1l at retail.
From thu-sc disjointed statements, some faint
*dta may be formed of the magnitude of pos
tal operations in Cairo.
THE FUTURE IRON NAVE.
Important Experiment at Shoebnry
ncss.
[From I lie London Times, April 9.]
The admiralty hare contracted with Messrs
Samnda ior tbc construction of one of the cu
pola iron ships-of war, under the invention of
Captain Coles, of which the Monitor is an im
perfect imitation. The price is to be £4; ,150
per ton, including evervihinc - , and the vessel
to be rt;.dy for Launching StU of Feb
ruary ntxr, and to be delivered lit for sea on
the lit <-f June following.
The Tories contains an account of experi
ments at Shoebnryness on Tuesday with a gun
of large mz<- and great caliber, which showed
at every that onr best and hitherto
considered invulnerable forms of Iron sides
were, so ?o apeak, almost as easily penetrated
by a shot, as if the targets had b*cen of tim
ber. After all our labor and all our
expense, after having made beyond com
parison, the finest and strongest iron
irig.itcs in the world, we now find that
opposite a large muzzle-loading aim the best
ol our iron-sides can be as easily riddled and
sunk as wooden sailing vessels. This discov
ery, only made on Tuesday afternoon Liet, is
due to Hie keen and wholesome rivalry be
tween the War office and the Admiralty’ th a
loin.c r s’rhing to devise irresistible artillery
and the latter to build invulnerable ships!
xh: re La? Um an immense variety of experi
ments on every conceivable form of target,
and upon every possible combination of iron
and wood, iron and indh rubber, iron and
T\iie, bon :*ud hemp, and every section ot the
American Juonhor has been erected aud
fired at at Shoeburyness. and proved to be as
Milu« rabie as timber, and that no chance
nsr.y be neglected, a target is being made
ol luuv ay bers, dovetailed and “riveted
together m the seme ingenious manner as the
coaling of the Mcrrimue. and this also will bo
tried in a few days, and, beyond a doubt
with much the same ronlts that attended tbc
Monitor target During a recent experiment
a target, exactly of the same material and
strcT.nth a* The Warrior's broadside, was sub
jected during the whole of one day and a part
of a second to a tremendous fire, but the
concentrated volleys fiew off in a hail of iron
splinters. The target grew almost red hot in
jiarts, but no missile passed beyond its iron
armor. The Warrior, therefore, andiron-shins
were justly deemed invulnerable. Sir W
Armstrong has a letter in to-day’s Time* ex
plaining the principle which has rendered’ the
last experiment successful in penetrating
and smashing iron plates. Tbc smooth bore
gun has a velocity excelling that of the rifle
gun by more than a quarter. A smooth bore
pn has been made hy Sir W. Armstrong
length 14 feet, weight 12 tone, and it was tried
against the Warrior target on Tuesday In pres
ence of lac Dukes of Cambridge and Somerset,
anc Other high officers of the admiralty
and war office. The first shot was 156 pounds
was fired at a distance of 200 yards, with a
charge of 40 pounds of powder. This solved
all doubts; the iron mass shattered in*o
ciumbs of metal, and the teak splintered into
fibres literally as small as pins. An increased
charge was next tried, and the shot passed not
only through the plate's teak, and through
the inner skin, butburied itselt In the massive
timbers that supported the target. These
two shots were quire conclusive as to the
power of the gnu. Sir W. Armstrong says
that :i pun of 12 tons weight, fired with a
charge of 50 pounds of powder, will break
through the side of the Warrior or the strong
est ship afloat. The Times remarks that no
weapon of offense or defense seems left to us
now so effective as a large armor clad and
swift steam ram.

much.
To-day all has been quiet. The enemy evi
dently suffered severely yesterday. The rebel
battery fired a few shots early in the morning,
but a few shots from our artillery restored
silence. Our sharpshooters occupy the woods,
and no rebel head is safe. Last night sunken
batteries were constructed on the right and
left of our advanced position yesterday, in
front of the enemy, by Lieuts. Cusseron and
Bowen, and this morning we have eight guns
in embrasure.
It is evident, from what can be seen, that the
enemy are making arrangements for strength
ening their position, as sand bags have been
provided, though the vigilance of our sharp
shooters has given them no opportunity to
use them. Men were at work lust night dig
ging trenches, and they manifestly regard their
position as not impregnable.
Concerning future operations, there is little
known, and less to tell. Our front is within
400 yards of the enemy’s, so that we cun sec
each other with the naked eye, and do pick
each other off with rifles. As this is not the
most desirable situation for a permanent one,
I presume it will not long continue.
Friday , April 18, a, m. —Last night there
were two alarms, and brisk firing between the
infantry on ourlnffc and the enemy in their
rifle-pits. Our artillery fired a few shots, and
the whole camp was aroused. The rebels
commenced tiring first, imagining, no doubt,
that onr forces were advancing. The report
is that one party of rebels were fired on by
another, mistaken in the darkness for our
force. This may be the case, but it lacks con
firmation.
I am happy to state that quite a number re
ported wounded, owing to the slight nature of
their wounds, have reported for duty this
morning—so that the mimbernow under med
ical treatment, and wounded and missing, is
less than 350. This number will be reduced
daily by discharge from the hospitals.
Our men ventured within 600 feet of the
rebels’ intrenchments, discovering a false or
ditch, which they possess the power of flood
ing at pleasure. To-night the 87th New York
arc detailed to throw up intrenchments, under
cover of the darkness, nearer to the rebel
lines than anything we have yet attempted, as
a basis for further and more important opera
tions. Meantime, our cannon make the night
hideous with shot and shell, possibly as a
means of distracting the enemy’s attention.

The weather is again pleasant and the
roads arc beginning to improve. The
preparations for carrying out the plans of the
Commander in Chief, are being rapidly pushed
forward to completion. Two deserters from
the 6th Alabama regiment came in our lines
vesterday. They were from Pennsylvania,
represent the rebel forces at 100,000, and
that they are busily constructing •works in the
rear of their present lines. They had no
knowledge of the arrival of Jeff. Davis.
On Tuesday tbe rebels came out from their
rifle pits in front of Lee's Mills, killing one of
our pickets. After he was dead about thirty
oi them tired their pieces. into his head, com
pletely riddling it with bullets.
The officer then commanding the reserve
ordered his men to charge on the rebels which
was willingly responded" to, resulting in sev
eral of them being killed and one token pris
oner. Two men were killed on our side and
cue mortally wounded.
CAPTURE OF APALACBICOLA,
FLORIDA.
Report of Commander Slellwagen
[From the Now York Tribune.]
Washington, April 20.
Commander Stoll wagen, of the U. S. steamer
Merctdila, off Apalachicola, under date of
March 25th, mates a report to Flag-Officer
McKean, who has forwarded it to the Navy
Department. He slates that, in consequence
of intelligence received from two contrabands
that the town had been abandoned, two davs
after our coming in, by all the soldiers, num
bering some 650, followed by nearly all the
inhabitants; and, seeing steamboats either re
inforcing or preparing to evacuate, he determ
ined to send to the city and ascertain the true
facts of the case. The report which was made
to him proved to be correct, there not being a
soldier, cannon or weapon of any kind apparent
ly remaining in the town. Certain persons,
claiming to be influential men, state that
everybody had been ordered peremptorily
away by Gov. Milton of Florida. The city,
Commander Stcllwageu reports, was entirely
at our mercy, the few remaining inhabitants
laving no means of defense whatever. Those
left were a part of a few white families, a
small number of slaves, and some
Spanish fishermen, numbering altogether
from 500 to GOO souls, including many
women and small children. He reports that he
restrained from hoisting the American flag be
cause bis vessel did not lie near enough to pro
tect Union citizens in the place from the in
human assaults of the rebels, who have threat
ened to return and burn the town in case the
citizens held any intercourse with us. The
mgioes represent the exodus of women and
children as being truly hcuit-rending. They
were taken away at tbe shortest notice and in a
stornjjgatheringwhat Utile clothesandhouse
hold furniture they could, to bike with them.
He also states that the batteries at the town ap
pear to be entirely of sand. The one at
St. Vincent’s he entirely destroyed, burning
the platform for the guns, &c. Some few sob
dlers are at Riccat’s Bluffs, ninety miles up
the river. The rest are at Johnson's, two
hundred and forty miles higher. At the latter
place they have been live months building
gunboats, which had not vet been planked in.
The soldiers, Ir is stated’are dissatisfied and
dispirited, aud some three hundred will leave
as soon as their time is up.
A later report from Commander Skcllwao-cn,
off Apalachicola, under date of April 4, states
that the town was captured without resistance
as well as the vessels iu the vi
cinity, by an expedition of eight armed boat-;
from hi? skip,tho Mercedliraad the United
States gunboat Sagamore, Lieut. Drake com
manding. In this report Commander Stell
wagen states that on the 30th ult., be heard
that the sloop Octavia had ran into St. Jo
seph's Bay from Havana, and scut Actin'*-
Master Wilder with a sail boil to tlm
place, fifty miles via the land over on nortige
across the narrow strips of laud connect
ing Cape St. Bias with the mainland. It was
found tint she had left, but indications from
vhecl (racks, spilled coffee, etc., showed that
her freight had been landed and carted away.
On tbe same day his boats chased a small
sloop from Indian Pass to the city, and at
night he sent his gig down thirty mfles to the
last pass, directing the Sagamore to join him
at the earliest convenience. She arrived on
the Ist inst., and the next day the boats wore
fully prepared for an armed expedition to the
ebyaud “Old Woman's Biniv’ seven miles
up tbe river. The six boats started at 9p. m.;
m.der command of Lieutenant Abbott, of the
Merccdito, and Lieut Bigelow, of the Saga
more, intending to pass the town iu the night,
Lieut. Drake and Commander Stellwagen fol
lowed in gigs to support them. On arriving
at the city early in the morning they found
the Octavia and all the small vessels la pos
session ot our men. In due time the party
came down the river, towing the pilot boats
Cygnet, Mary Olivia and schooners New
Island, Floyd and Bose, the latter loaded with
cotton. Considerable time was spent in try
ing to get the pilot boats and the “New
Island” over the bar, but without success,
they grounding in seven feet of water.
Late in the afternoon we pulled in, with all
the boats, to tbe landing place, and had an in
terview with the people of the town. Com
mander Stellwagen told them, knowing that
they were in want of the necessities©! life,
that they should be alio wed to fish and oyster
so long as they were friendly. After Irving
to get off the three boats which were around,
without any succcsss, he ordered them to be
set on fire.
The sloops Octavia and Rose he determined
to send to Key West for adjudication He
states: U I think the demonstration will be
salutary to the people and serviceable to the
cause. The men deserve great credit, having
been from twenty-four to thirty-six houre
away from the snip, engaged in verv heavy
work, which was cheerfully accomplished.
[From the Missouri Democrat, 24th.]
Tli© Imprisonment of Col. JTeunlson.
Onr loyal citizens are justly indignant at
the continued confinement of CoL Jenniaon
In military prison. The charges against him
have not jet been known, and so far, it seems,
he Is merely the victim of the dirty malice of
the pro-slavery Generals—Sturgis, Denver
and Mitchell—who now have command in
Kansas. No doubt Sturgis left this city for
the West with the full determination to arrest
all hazards, and to trample upon
all thcFree State men of that State who sym
pathize with him. The Bepnyiain doubtless
was privy to this scheme, and now
chuckles over the success of the en
terprise. In this venomous glee they are
joined by the secessionists of this city, who
know full well the services of Col Jennlson
to his country, and how dangerous an enemy
of thein he Is. The idea of such an officer as
Gen. Sturgis, whose drunken habits and sus
pected loyalty are so well known lu this city,
arresting usd confining without charges, such
a loyal and gallant soldier as Colonel Jenni
£on, is revolting to the heart of every Union
man jn the country. And how much better
than Sturgis are Denver «r»'d Mitchell * c
brace of pro-slavery officers, who return to the
eccncof their border ruffian raids to engage
in the work of fanning down: their old Free
State enemies.
The military authorities here, if other
reasons are Insufficient, certainly owc.it to
tic loyal sentiment of this dty to release Col.
Jtnnison on parole—to give him at least' the
same freedom of the city now enjoyed by
rebel prisoners in their charge*

which Messrs. Train, Blair, Covode, Hickman,

the Pacific coast are veiy much higher than
formerly, and those for Kentucky and Mis
souri are considerably advanced, owing, doubt
less, to the military disturbances fa those
States; while in Indiana, Illinois and other
States the rates are lower. In all, the number
of routes are about 2,500, averaging ten bids
for each. The sum total of the offers for the
entire lettings is about equal to that of tour
years ago for similar service.

How the Rebels Ran, and
' the Result.
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
The avant courier of the Tennessee flotilla,
reached us last night. The Ohio has increased
in volumn an inch and is still rising. Des
patches received from the Cumberland repre
sent that river very rapidly raising. From
Pittsburg wh learn that the Ohio rose 14 feet
Tuesday, and from different points along the
river the flood is equally potent. The im
mense country to the rear of us between Cairo
and Mound City is so inundated that a large
volnmu of water in the upper rivers affects
us slightly. There is but little doubt, ho wev
er, of the final overflow.
There are said to be 8,000 rebel troops in the
rear of Chickasaw Binds aud at Randolph.
Gen. Bragg has transferred the command
of Ft. Wright to Gen. Price.
From Pittsburg, I have intelligence of a
skirmish with the enemy iu which Gen.
Granger, with 5,000 cavalry, a portion of the
recent reinforcements sent up the Tennessee,
participated. About two miles from our pick
ets they came in contact with the rebel
pickets, drove them in and encountered a
strong force of rebel cavalry, which they en
gaged. After lighting briskly for an hour,
both sides retired, with inconsiderable loss.
This was on Wednesday. There has been
no attempt to move the main body of the
army.
Tbe embargo laid upon onr movements by
the rain and mud still continues. "When the
advance n ill take place is alia matter of con
jecture.
Gen. Grant and his conduct during the ter
rible days of April are still the subjects of
criticism, and I am told that charges are bein':
daily preferred against him for incompctcncy
ami recklessness. Gen. Hallcck pays no at
tention to the charges, but leaves the investi
gation of the whole affair to Congress.
A gentleman from Northern Tennessee,
whose Unionism is unquestioned, says that
the whole country below him is full of wound
ed soldiers and fugitives from the battle of
Pittsburg. Tbe returned rebels say that after
the arrival of Buell’s troops on Sunday, and
the attack on Monday, Beauregard made a
spirited appeal to his men, acknowledging the
arrival of federal reinforcements, but said
the armies oi Price and Van Dom were on the
way and would arrive before nightfall. Subse
quently he brought trooj.s from the rear of his
own force, representing them as the expected
arrivals. After the final rout, the enemy be
came very much demoralized and ran the fif
teen milts intervening between the battle
field and Corinth, in three hours. The panic
and flight of onr soldiers at Bull Run, was
nothing compared with it. Arrivingat Corinth
they found the town deserted and left imme
diately for Tennessee without further hieder
ance.
TLerc is a hitterfend between the remaining
Mississippi and Tennessee regiments, in con
sequence of the former dubbing the Tennes
seeans cowards, and they do not recognize
there social equality. My informant says the
latter will not fight in the coming battle. The
fcderals have nearly surrounded them, and
they consider their case settled as soon as the
capture of Ft. Pillow and Memphis shall be
accomplished.
The Mississippi flood is seriously endanger

A tri-wcikly packet isnowrunniug between
Cairo and Tiptonville, carrying the mails and
passengers. This experiment in reviving com
mercial intercourse with the rebel States, is
likely to piove successful. The entire track
of the Cairo and Fulton Railroad between
Bird's Point and Charleston, is washed away
and destroyed.
Superintendent Arthur of the Illinois Cen
tral Railroad, and President Osborn passed
over the track in a hand car from Cache River
this morning. They say the track is covered

There is no prospect of the immediate re

AFFAIR,
Washington, April 24.—Capta!n Cutting,
of Gen. Burnside’s staff, arrived here vester
day with dispatches to the Government. He
states that Gen. Reno commanded the Nation
al forces at the late reconuoissance to Eliza
beth City. Captain Cutting gives the follow
ing particulars of the affair.
On the 17th inst.,Gen. Reno left Newbern
and proceeded to Roanoke Island, from which
place be took about 2,000 men and proceeded
to Elizabeth City, where a strong rebel "force
was reported to be entrenching themselves
On Saturday an advance was made upon the
rebels. The enemy opened fire with artillery
as soon as our troops made their appearance
and from all appearances thought they had ns
in a trap of our own making. Oar troops im
mediately formed and charged on the enemy
who ran at the first fire. We then
diately took possession of the town, and after
remaining a few hours, retired to the
aimy.
Onr force was about 3,000 tinder Gen. Reno
and three boat howitzers under CoL Howard!
The force of the rebels consisted of a Georgia
regiment of 1,100 men, a portion of Wise’s fc
gion, and batteries of artillery.
The enemy was totally routed, with a loss
of about 60 men. Onr loss Is about 13 killed
and 48 wounded. Cob Hawkins, of the New
York Zouaves, received a slight flesh wound
in the arm. Hia adjutant was reported killed.
Information received from Union sources

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
Washisgtoh, April 21,1565.
SENATE.
A communication was received from the
War Department, transmitting copies of con
tracts made by that Department for 186 L
Hr. GRIMES presented 430 petitions from
beer and molt liquor manufacturers, asking a
reduction in the proposed tax on beer and
malt liquors. Mr. Pomeroy presented simi
lar petitions.
, Mr. POWELL moved to take up the resolu
tion offered by him, censuring arrests of citir
zens of Kentucky, &c,
Mr. SUMNER opposed .taking up the reso
lution as Inexpedient at this time.
Mr. POWELL of Ky. did not see why the
Senator should make any opposition to the
resolution. It simply asked how many citi
zens of the free States have been dragged from,
their homes without warrant of law, and called
on tyrants and usurpers to know where they
are and what their names are. They are free
white men. If they had been negroes the
Senator from Massachusetts (Sumner) would
make no opposition to the resolution. He
(Sumner) was eternally prating about the
wrongs of tbe negro, but white men had some
rights, and he wanted the Secretary to tell us
why and what for these men were thus unlaw
fully dragged to prison without any charge
of crime being brought against them.
Mr. SUMNER said the Senator from Ken
tucky had made an inflammatory speech, and
bad called a high officer of the Government a
tyrant and usurper. In the event of the reso
lution being taken up, the question must be
gone into. If the Secretary of War was a
tyrant and usurper, there were men arrested
who were traitors.
Mr. POWELL, (in his seat) —“ Who arc
these men ? Name them.”
Mr. SUMNER continued, arguing that it
was not host to go into the inquiry at present.
Mr. POWELL said that some of the who
have been arrested are as loyal as the Senator
from Massachusetts (Sumner.) He defied the
Senator to point out any law by which the
Secretary or State can carry off citizens of
Kentucky and imprison them iu the forts of
Massachusetts and New York.
The bill for the recognition of Hayti and
Liberia being the special order was talreu no.
Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky moved a substi
tute the President to appoint a
consul to Liberia and a consul general to
Hayti, with power to negotiate treaties. He
was opposed to sending any ambassadors to
those countries. If they send ministers here,
and send a fnll blooded negro, he could de
mand to be received on equal terms with
white men. He knew that a big negro fellow
was admitted to the Court of France as Minis
ter from Hayti; but he (Davis) wanted no
such exhibition here. He was sick and dis
gusted with, the subject of slavery in the Sen
ate.
Mr. SUMNER said the Senate would bear
him witness that he had said nothing
about slavery on this bilk The Senator from
Kentucky did that. The Senator from Ken
tucky might banish all fear of any social dllii
culty. He (Sumner) was sure that no repre
sentative from Hayti would ever force himself
where he was not wanted. Mr. Sumner said
the committee had come to the conclusion
that we should be represented by diplomatic
agebts in those countries, and this was in ac
cordance with the precedents of this Govern
ment and the examples of other nations.
The Confiscation bill was taken up. Colla
mcr is opposed to it. Mr. King moved an
amendment to Mr. Sherman’s amendment so
as to include all persons giving aid to the ene
my, or levying war. Disagreed to.
Sherman’s amendment, which limits confis
cation to persons holding certain offices under
the rebels, was adopted. Ayes 27, noes 11.
Mr. ROLLINS ol Missouri made a€peech
against the rebellion, and complimented Mr.
Lincoln for bis efiorts in behalf of the Union.
He considered the insurrection causeless and
infamous. He was opposed to anv and all
extreme measures, and* for prosectn lag the
war on the principle laid down at the extra
session, that when the supremacy of the con
stitution and laws are established, the war
ought to cease.
Mr. BROWNING’S bill was postponed till
to-moirow.
The bill recognizing Havti and Liberia was
taken up and passed—32 neatest 7.
Executive session adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. VALLANDIGHAM of Ohio offered a
resolution requesting the President to trans
mit to the Houce, if not incompatible ■with
the public interest, copies of the correspon
dence between the French and United States
Governments that may have been received
within the last two months relative to the
present troubles in America. Referred to the
Committee on Foreign affairs.
Mr. ALDRICH oi Minnesota, from the Com
mittee on Indian Affairs, reported a bill au
thorizing treaties with the Navajoe Indians of
New Mexico, defining their limits and extin
guishing their title to lands outside of the
United States. Referred to the Committee of
the Whole.
The House resumed the consideration of the
confiscation bills from yesterday.
Mr. LOVEJOT of Illinois said that while
this Government is engaged in a serious war
to put down the rebellion, it was seen that
this unnatural and parricidal insurrection has
sympathizers and advocates on this floor.
Those who defended slavery are the defenders
of the rebellion, for slavery and rebellion are
synonymous. They are unchangeable terms.
Wherever slavery is, there is rebellion. It
Is the corner-stone, pillars and support. He
took the position that either slavery or the
Republic must perish.
He would tell the gentleman from Ken
tucky, (Crittenden) and all otheradvocateaand
defenders of the system, and those who cry
themselves hoarse in attempting to .throw
ihe protection of the Constitution around it,
that it is the desire of the Republic that it
should cease to exist. There Is no citv of ref
uge for it. Like an infernal assassin/it has a
knife drawn and endeavoring to strike at ■
the heart of the Republic. Wc are bound
to strike the monster, and gentlemen need
not cry the Constitution for its defense. It
shall be siud “be slain in the name of my
country and my God.” lie denied that slave
ry has any guarantee or recognition in the
Constitution. He argued that it was their
right and duty to detroy slayery because slave
ry is destroying or will destroy the Republic.
He was in favor of the restoration of the
Union with the right to stand on the Ameri
can sod anywhere and proclaim his sentiments.
He wanted to stand anywhere on American soil
without a despotism to make him hold his
tongue. He wanted to speak in South Caro
lina, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana, with
out the treat of lynching or a coat of tar aud
furthers. The gentleman from Kentucky (Mr.
Crittenden) asked what four millions of slaves
turned loose would do. “Turned loose!” This
term was used as if the slaves were wild beasts
now. He (Lovcjov) had this to say: At pres
ent he would let them alone to take care of
themselves, which they were abundantly able
-oo dp. The slaveholders had batter tuni their
attention l to'another point, namely: "What will
they do vhm they ecaxe to live on the unrequited
n>wt ai'd toil of the slaves? He denied that he
ard bis friends want to make this an auti
slavery war; but the only way to put dow .
the rebellion and restore the Union was to de
ar roy slavery.
Mr. ROSCOE CONKLIN6 expressed him
self in favor of the confiscation bill, to ampli
fy the punishment of treason. He would do
this to punish the ringleaders of the rebellion
and bare reimbursement of the expenses in
curred in suppressing the rebellion. The
subject woe referred to a select committee of
seven. The House weetinto acommittce and
lookup the bill making an
bounties to the widows and legal heirs of vol
unteers.
Mr. VALLANDIGHAM said in a speech
delivered the other day in this city, not in
Congress, in denunciation of the Democratic
party, he had hecn ollnded to as a man who
never had any sympathy with this Republic,
but whose every breath is devoted to Its de
struction, just as far as his heart dare per
mit him to go. He denounced the author of
that speech as a liar, a scoundrel, and a cow
ard. "His name Is Benjamin F. Wade,
Mr. BLAKE said the remarks referred to by
Vallandlgham as having been made by Mr.
Wade In the Senate, were not there
made, and therefore Mr. Yallandlgham
had denounced Wade as a liar, scoundrel and
coward under false pretences.
VALLANDIGHAM after some sparring
with Blake said he had read from a printed
speech a foul libel on his character. He did
not mention Wadeas a Senator but as*an in
dividual. When Wade recalled his words he
would take back Ms.
Mr. BLAKE felt that Ohio was shamefully
insulted by Vallandigham’s remark, and be
lieved three quarters of the people of that
State would speak of Mm as Wade had.
HUTCHINS offered a resolution selling
forth the offensive language used by Vallan
dighsm against Wade, characterizing it as a
violation of the rules and a breach of the
decorum of the House, and declaring Vallau
digham as deserving of and is hereby cen
sured by the House. Pending the resolution
the House adjourned.

TMe enormous increase of business consti

the Department has not yet recognized its po

MILITARY MOVEMENTS AND
CHANGES.
A Bloody Battle Impending
at Santa Fe.
Sr. Louis, April 24. —The correspondence
of the Missouri jßfpubiican, dated Fort Union,
New Mexico, April 13, says: Col. Slough,
after tbe battle at Apache Canon, fell back
and took position at Barnal Springs, 45 miles
south of Fort Union. Tnis was deemed the
strategical point, being within supporting
distance of Fort Union, a position to batrass
the enemy, and to form a junction with Csnby
when he'should leave Fort Craig, 300 miles
south.
We had been there one day when Col. Can
by sent from Fort Craig his Assistant Adju
tant General with peremptory orders to Col.
Slough to fall back with his column to Fort
Union, which was immediately obeyed.
It would seem that we crippled the enemy
In the Apache Canon more than was believed
at first. We have reliable information that
we killed over 100 men, iacluding six officers,
and wounded over 200. We have now as pris
oners at Fort Union, 21 officers and 82 pri
vates. The enemy immediately fell back to
Santa Fe, undare again, it is believed, concen
trating in their old position at Alburquerque.
Yesterday an express arrived from CoL Can
by, stating that he would leave Fort Craig on
the 31st oi March. If the encmv Is in the vi
cinity of Albuquerque, with ordinary travel
ing, CoL Canby is in their immediate vicinity,
and our column ISO miles from Albuquerque
will only leave this morning. He will be un
supported by this column, and’ with 900 reg
ulars will have to encounter their forces, un
less he can slip by and join the column which
leaves here this morning. It is understood
that Kit Carson with a regiment of New Mex
ican volunteers, TOO strong, will remain and
garrison Fort Craig. It is rumored that Cols.
Btecleand Bailor, of the rebel army, are ad
vancing into New Mexico with 800 additional
men.
Important events willprobablv occur before
the next express leaves lor the States. A well
authenticated report has just reached here
that the Texan forces, *2,000 strong, arc en
trenching themselves at Santa Fe, ami that
Col. Canny having strengthened his command
up to 1,200, is fifty miles south of’Sinta Fe.
This may enable our two columns to act to
gether ami make ns 2,400 stromr. If this is
the case we will have one of the bloodiest
battles on record. The enemy’s artillery num
bers about eighteen pieces, and ours twelve
pieces.
PROSE NEW ORLEANS AND MEXICO
The French Marebin" Agnlnst the
City of Mexico*
New York, April 24.—The Spanish frigate
Isabd’a Catolico has arrived from Havanah
the 17th.
The Havana Dlaiio states that persons di
rect from New Orleans report the rebel defen
ces to be much exaggerated—that Forts Jack
son and St. PhillipsTiave been abandoned, and
the cannon taken" away, and there is nothing
to prevent the Federal licet from saUlnc dl
nctlj to New Orleans.
The IHario docs not vouch for the truth of
these reports.
Later news from Vera Cruz reached Ha
vana. After an unsatisfactory conference
between the allied commanders, tie French
General decided to march his division
against the city of Mexico, taking upon him
self the responsibility. The English aud
Spanish Plenipotentiaries thereupon decided
to withdraw their troops.
It was stated that the Juarez Government
was ready to give every satisfaction to the Al
lies in the matter of claims, but won’t listen
t»» the idea of a monarchy, and in case thev
Allies advance to the Capital he would retire
from it.

Ph ii. adelphia, April 24.— The Inqni rer s ays
that Secretary Welles is to take the mis
sion to Spain. His successor in the Navy De

New York, April 24.— The IfrralTs special
Washington dispatch says: A change in the
Navy Department has been possitively deter
mined upon. The President is waiting only
to fix upon the individual who is toiillthe
place of the Secretary of the Navy. Gen.
Banks, Judse Davis of Illinois, aud Gov.
Sprague of "Rhode Island are each strongly
urged for this distinction, but the selection
has not yet been made.
LATER.
New Yoke. April, 24. —The Evening Post's
special dispatch from Washington says the
“ sensation story in the Philadelphia Inquirer
this morning, to the effect that Secretary
Welles is to be removed, is essentially
untrue. This I learn on good author
ity. I learn that Secretary Welles some time
since tendered his resignation to the Presi
dent. but it was not accepted. Probably this
circumstance has given rise to the rumor of
an immediate change in the Cabinet. All cur
rent reports of the removal of Secretary
Welles arc destitute of foundation.

abandonment of the design bythceacmv to

and the wisest Loped that the fort, which
thereupon became the key and safety of Sa
vannah, would be able to detain the enemy
for an indefinite time. The blow has been
sudden and totally unlocked for, and equally
unprovided for. The enemy will not wait
long to attack the batteries about Fort Jack
son. Their heavy ships have entered the
river above Pulaski, as high as Venus Point,
only seven miles below, and are in plain view
of the defenses of the city of Savannah. How
long they will be able to withstand an attack,
let Pulaski be your teacher. We will he driven
from than as surdy as we noto accept thefact of
the loss of Pulaski,
The city has been in intense excitement be
tween the bold and rapid advance of the
Federal? and the terribly unnerving taps upon |
the shoulder which the Brown satellites,
under Gen. H. R. Jackson, without form of
law or authority, inflict. Oar citizens (the
lew who remain) have been arrested in the
street, dragged to camp, shown a tent, and
informed that there their habitation should
be. Ahd this has been done by a parcel of
beardless boys, who have been mustered into
the State service.
Cotton has, been removed, such as remained
in store here, to the railroad. Ordnance
stores and every variety of equipment have
been thrown out and carried to the same re
ceptacle for Government stores. Schooners
have been seized, and some already filled with
earth are ready to be sunk below*in common
with the hulls of Commodore Tatnall’s fleet,
which will never more venture beyond Savan
nah river. The Fingal, which now lies near
Fort Jackson, is also to be sunk, and the erun
boats (one of which is nearly ready for launch
ing) will, if the enemy sooner advance, be giv
en to the devouring flames. 3
Women are leaving, and property of all kinds
is being sent off and will soon line the Cen
tral road from Savannah to Macon, rendering
every house a palace, if rosewood and satin
damask can do 11.
A large amount of stores fell with the fort
—provisions for at least three months, ammu

thirty rounds for each gun on the post, not
