Address “CHICAGO TRIBUNE,” Chicago, HI. Chicago tribune. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1863. THE NEWS. The House passed Thad. Stevens’ Negro Regiment bill yesterday. Let Conserva tism and Secesh howl. In the Semite, Richardson of -this State undertook to introduce the sorehead of Uie Galena traitor Johnson, hut the Senate concluded it had matters of more import ance to attend to, than to cut court plaster for an open-mouthed rebel. So Johnson • was squelched, and Richardson snubbed. . vGen. Hooker is at work on his Augean stable. The mud is only half he has to contend with. He has fallen to work like a hero, and begun by knocking his airmy all into one, by the Abolishment of Grand Divisions. He means to know what is doing, and by whom. By way of Fortress Monroe, we have important Southern news. Southern ex change is now in our favor, and the rebel Congress think less favorably of Jeff.’s re taliatory order. VY c have now more rebel officers in our hands than offi cers of ours, so that doubtless we shall go back to the old cartel, as before. From the Southern coast we have the news that one of our Monitors has been repulsed in an encounter with a rqj)el fort, McAllister, on the Ogechee River, Ga. Our Wasuington dispatch gives quite a satisfactory complexion to the story. The Montaukis the iron-clad referred and Ehc has tested her defensive powers mere ly, and comes out all right. An important capture is announced by rebel sources, in the seizure of a British blockade running steamer, with a most valuable cargo of materials and munitions. The news from the Gulf is of unusual interest Onr fleet had bombarded Gal veston, and were to resume fire. The Harriet Lane got out safely a few days later. The mystery of the sinking of the Hattcras is .still unsolved. The rebels say it was neither nor the Florida. A Richmond journal ventures the surmise that it was actually a British vessel. Very doubtful. , 9 From our Slate Legislature the intelli gence is that the Macalester and Stcbbins bonds got a bad set back yesterday, and little man Fuller a worse -one. He made bis insufferable puppyism a trifle too strong even for bis own Copperhead friends, and they shelved him. . Whdt will be done wit£ Butler is still undecided. He has now terms and guar antees to ask that he would-never have put forward had he not been recalled. Probably he will receive the force and powers he asks and once more take the reins at New Orleans. A voice from out Northwestern Gener als and troops comes to us through most reliable channels: They arc for the war and for the country, and have no soft words for home patriots who ciy u peace.” The negro hounds in lowa are a foiled and fanglcss breed of dogs since the noble decision of one of her fudges denies the force of the inhuman black, laws, aud re cognizes the citizenship of the free negro. The Mahoneyitcs will wax frantic over the danger they are in of an African invasion. ABUSED TREASON IN INDIANA. The dispatches from Indianapolis'are Startling. A Federal force sent into the country to arrest deserters is fired i upon by an armed mob, and: back. A cavalry force goes out and is confronted by a force of forty armed guerillas. Shots are exchanged,—the rebels flee, nine arc taken pris oners, and with the deserters they were . banded to defend, arc brought to Indian apolis. Such the direct fruits of Secesh teaching. These misguided men. followed • the false lights of sccesh advocates of trea son like the Times of this city. They have I failed, all will fail in Illinois as well as In diana who set themselves to resist the Gov-1 eminent. Let our home traitors under-; eland this. will be collected, laws •enforced, deserters seized, and conscripts gathered, if need be, in any and all parts of the .Northwest. Any district that de-, .sires to test the question has only to com mence 1L It is well for our people to know that the power that can hold and direct our armies In the field wilTnot be success fully bearded and resisted by the fire-in thc-rcar enemies of the Union. IBOJI TUB COAST BLOCK- ADE. Baltimore, Feb. 2.—The Richmond in<y of Saturday'has tin? following: “A ’telegram was received on Thursday night announcing the capture of the British steamer Princess Royal, while attempting to run the blockade at Charleston. This vessel recently left Halifax and the blockadcrs were on the look-out for her. She hud a very val uable cargo—eight ’Whitworth cannon, four gleam engines for gunboats, rifles, powder, A'c. A party of English workmen, skilled in the manufacture of projectiles, were also cap tured.

[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribane.] CAmo, Feb. 2,1553. * • An intelligent gentleman who has conversed with the different Major Generals and Briga dier Generals in Gen. Grant’s anfly, with the understanding thatf ho wanted an expression on the subject of the action of our State Leg islatures in Illinois and Indiaqa, reports to me that they deprecated and denounced the Copperheads to a man, and compared them rather unfavorably with JelL Davis and his crew. Gen. John A. Logan, known throughout the Northwest as a Democrat, remarked: “ Tell them up I{orth, for that we can whip the rebels. We are going Jo do it , and when we arc done vtt are to return home. When we get there wc shall yet be strong enough to summarily punish any secession sympathizers or peace preachers that wc may he able to find in our way.” Gen. Loomis was equally strong In his lan guage. Another General said: a lf wc had Dick Merrick, Allen, Robinson, Goudy and Story of the Secession Timc* % here, their lives, were they known, would not be worth a penny. The incensed soldiery, m*en of their j)wn school of politics, would shoot thcmlgm curs—on sight. 1 ’ Our Illinois and all 'Western soldiers, arc unanimous in denouncing every man who raises his voice for peace, x>eace conventions, or armistices. They are only anxious to be allowed the privilege of going forward and putting down rebellion at the point of the boyonet. They do not fear the result. FROM WASHINGTON. THE NEGRO REGIMENT BILL PASSED. IMPORTANT TREASURY MAT- TERS. [Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.] Washington, Feb. 2,18(53. After another day’s protracted debate, tbc House this evening passed Thad. Stevens’ negro regiment bill, by a vote of 83 to 55. Before the passage, Casey’s .amendment was adopted, providing that slaves of loyafmas- Ictb in States excepted by the President's Proclamation should not be enlisted, and no r&ruitlng offices should be opened in snob States except onproenring the consent of the Governor thereof The bill Itself gives permission to enlist any number of negroes not exceeding 300,000, to be paid ten dollars a month, with rations and equipments, to be officered by white men. passage of the bill, Messrs. Blair and Segar of Virginia dodged; Thomas, Win. Kellogg, Harrison and Horton, voted against it. The Illinois ship canal bill la expected to come up to-morrow in the House. Its friends say if they get it up at all they will pass it to morrow. Gcu. McKinstry will soon know his fate. The findings and sentence ofhis court martial arc in the hands of the Adjutant General, and will soon be made public. Theresolt is secret, but is thought not to be acquittal. Gen. Buell’s court has adjourned at Cincin nati, the testimony being all in, the record will soon be made. The Missouri Emancipation bill, reported back by Mr. Harris to the Senate, was to-day amended so as to limit the time to twelve months. The amount appropriated stands at twenty millions. The Senate Finance Committee has not yet had the Nine Hundred Million House bill un der consideration. Mr. Sherman reposed back his banking bill, amended so as to make the amount of Issues three hundred instead of two hundred millions, one-half to be distributed among the States pro rate, and half issued at the dis cretion of the Secretary of the Treasury. The tax of two per cent on bank issues is strick en out, on the ground that the Senate has no power to originate. p. H. Watson was nominated Assistant Sec retary of War 10-day, vice Wolcott resigned. He would have been confirmed at once had there been a quorum x>resent. Wolcott is not so ill as last week, and it Is hoped he will be able to leave Sew Tori# for home soon, but his recovery Is despaired of During the discussion no the Negro Regi ment BUI to-dayw Little Cox disclaimed the theory that the Northwest would unite with the South, but warned the members that this feeling existed, and. they were helping strengthen It. Mr. Arnold asked him if this feeling did not exist solely among his own party friends. Secretary Chase sent a letter to the Senate Finance Committee to-day, to the effect that If Congress made his banking scheme a law, allowings3oo,ooo,ooo in Treasury notes to be issued under it, he should *iot require any further issues of legal tender or any issue of notes bearing three years' interest, and re commended that those clauses be stricken out of the House bUL This is said to have been done at the meeting to-day. . * We arc, however, auUioritivcly assured that the bill has uot yet ’been considered. If not, the probabilities would still seem to be , that the course suggestcdjjy Mr. Chase will j be followed, thy first step having already been taken. Little Cox was removed from a fit clerkship In the Interior Ollicc on Saturday. Uis re moval bad already been ordered, when a peti tion signed by a long list of Congressmen came In, asking that it be done. He has been an unconcealed Democrat all the time, and bitterly opposed to the Union party at the last Ohio election. His friends arc now endeavoring to worm him in. somewhere else.

Banks will lead thither, but with additional powemaod responsibilities, including those attached to the organization of our African army of the Mississippi. It is said that Butler now hesi tates about accepting the command in the shape offered, fenring that the means to be given him arc altogether disproportionate to the end to be accomplislttd.

Upon their arrival there they were fired upon by some of the citizens, and informed that the deserters would be protected, and under no circumstances would they be surrendered.

Carrington, who sent twenty fire cavalry after the offenders, with orders to arrest them dead or alive. The cavalry arrived, there about noon on Sunday, and . were fired upon by abo A forty mounted men.

In the House Mr. Fuller reported! the Con gressional Apportionment Bill, with au amendment relating to a Congressional Dis trict for himself, by setting off some of the Republican towns of Cook County, from Du- Page and adjoining Counties.

Mr. Fuller introduced a bill concerning the sale of newspapers on Railroads, providing penalties in ease any Railroad reftsses to allow them to be sold, &c. Mr. Eastman said the bill was very loosely drawn, and, objecting, it went over under the role*. In the House, also, a bill was reported from the Judiciary Committee on the writ of habeas corpus, with some alarming features. The Democrats begin to think the develop ments are not yet ripe enough to allow them to fully cany out the Copperhead programme, so they introduce a joint resolution in the Senate, providing that when the House ad journ ou the 15th iust. It adjourn to the Ist Tuesday after the Ist Monday in June next. This is for the purpose of awaiting develop ments in the meantime. Should there be Confederate victories, the programme will bo carried out. A bill for an act providing that all judg ments recorded by the State may be paid in U. S. Treasury notes, was reported by the Senate Judiciary Committee, and its passage recommended. The Democrats are despondent to-night. They despair of passing their revolutionary measures ut this session. Their papers, how ever, are still urging them on. The Republi cans -will demand an investigation Into the In ternal affidrs and management of the peniten tiary. The Republicans will not pass the ap propriation, also, until the financial report is laid before the Legislature and printed, Our men are now coming well up to the work, and things look decidedly better.

The court house ■was filled by an anxious audience, and the reading of the decision was listened to with breathless attention. The Judge held that under the Constitution of the United States, a free negro is entitled to the rights of citi zenship; that Archie P. Webb is a free negro, and us such entered the Stale of Iowa; that the act of 1851, under which he bad been ar rested and imprisoned, was in fla grant violation of the old consti tution .then in force, and the. newt which is now the fundamental law of the State,-and overrides the plainest principle's of the common law. He held the act to be null and void, and his decision, therefore, was that Archie had been unwarrantably arrested and imprisoned, and must he immediately set at liberiv. The opinion had been prefaced with care, and will be published in full. Thus lias ended a wicked scheme of a gang of semi traitors to inaugurate a general system of persecution against the free negroes in this State, and to that extent embarrass the exe cution of the President’s Emancipation ProclamnliQpJin the Mississippi Valley.

Mr. ANTHONY of R. I. said he understood this man could have been released any time by taking the oath of allegiance, and that he refused. Mr. RICHARDSON of HI. said he did re fuse. Mr. ANTHONY of R. I. said the Senate had more important business to attend to than petitions of people who refused allegiance to the Government, and moved to lay the peti tion on the table. Carried—22 against 16. Mr. HARRIS of N. Y., from Committee on Judiciary, reported back a bill to aid the State of Missouri iu emancipation.

HOUSE. The House concurred in the Senate'* amendment to the army appropriation bill, rrlth the exception of $5,000 for they survey of the Minnesota and Bcdßlver oftbeNorth. »with a view to Improve the navigation and connect the same by a canal. The Bouse also concurred m the Senate's amendment to the consular and diplomatic ° the Senate amenda tory of the bill providing for the collection of dcrect taxes in insurrectionary, districts. It alters certain provisions for the sale of land in eases of non-payment. The House resumed tho consideration of the hill authorizing the employment of enf orce soldiers and tailors. Mr. WISONof lowaspohc In favor of the hill. He cold the life of the' Republic was of more value than the rights of the most cher ished citizen, and Infinitely, more valuable than those claimed by : slaveholders. It was proposed by this bill to eay to the blacks, as Jackson said to them at New Or leans in 1814, that their services had been t,CA lone overlooked. He referred to the BjKjech-’ 06 of Mr. Cox and others os calculated to, pro flopc dismemberment, and wid thc-y b*»t; echoes ot the Richmond papers. If such gentlemen had labored half as much to pre sent an unbroken front to the enemy as they bad to produce distrust in the Administra tion, we might look for peace before the next, anniversary of American Independence. He had yet to learn that loj'al people objected to any means to suppress rebellion, compel obe dience to the Constitution and laws, and save the Union, not with New England but with all its territory preserved. Mr. COX of Ohio, briefly replied tc a por tion of Mr. Wilson’s remarks. A speech he made in New York had been misinterpreted, and he caused to be read a paragraph fromit to show the position he took not only in New York but in Ohio and elsewhere, and this was the positUm of the Democratic party. ■ He never would, under any circumstances, consent to a dismemberment of this republic. They should not be tabooed because they had warned the country against the dangers of fanaticism. He repeated that Washington, Franklin and others, refused to sanction the employment of blacks jis a general system, which was proposed’by this suicidal and infa mous bill. It would so distrust and dampen patriotism by associating negroes with white men and disintegrate the army. Mr. ALLEN of Ohio, spoke against thebllL He said it was a •onfesslon of weakness on the part of the whites; that the President and the Republican members ot Congress former ly took ground that they had neither right, intention, or Constitutional power to inter fere with slavery in the States, but they had violated their pledges. After some remarks, Stevens moved the previous question, which was seconded, and the main question was ordered to be put. The House first voted on Maynard’s motion to refer the bill and pending amendments to - the Committee on Military Affairs—lost, 4*3 to SO. The question was fheu taken on Hick man's amendment, which was rejected. It authorized the President to raise as many regiments, riot exceeding three, of African or colored persons of the •United States as at his discretion he might consider necessary. It also provides for a line of steamers be tween the United States and the coast of Africa—as modified by Mr. Stevens as- fol lows: '•The President be, and he is htreby authorized to enroll, arm, equip, and receive into the land and naval service of the United States, such number of volunteers of African descent as he may deem equal to suppress the present rebellion, forsnch term of service as he may prescribe, not exceeding five years, the safd volunteers fd be organized according to the regulations of the branch ser vice into which they may be en listed, and to receive the same rations, clothing and equipments as other volunteers, and a monthly pay not to exceed that of the volunteers; to be officered by White or black persons appointed and commissioned by the President, and to be governed by-the rules and articles of war and such other rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the President. Provided, that nothing herein contained id ihe rules or articles of war shall bo so con- strued ns to authorize or permit any officer of Africaif descent to be appointeilMo rank or exercise military or naval authority over white officers, soldiers ormcn, in the military or naval service of the United State*; nor sh ill any greater pay. than ten dollars per mouth with their ninnl allotment of clothing and ra tions hetUlowcd or paid to'privates and la borers of African descent, who are or may be in the military or naval service of the United States.

The bill passed by a vote of fifty-five against eighty live. Adjourned. Til® EXCHANGE OF PRIS OXERS. Citizen Prl«onor*-Jcff. Davis’ Belal- Forties Monroe, Feb.* I.—Col.
