LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1862. Again leave has been granted to bring in a bill for the appropriation of so much of the Suitors' Funds as may be in any way requisite for defray ing the expenses of constructing a Palace of Justice. A similar measure was introduced last year in the House of Commons, and passed through the preli minary stages required to be traversed by every new bill on its progress towards development into a ripened enactment. The interposition of the Legislature in the matter of the application of the Suitors' Funds to the construction of this long-projected Palace of Justice was, in point of fact, only postponed until another session by the expiring of the last, before the measure could be, duly perfected into an Act of Parliament. The Chief Commis sioner is, consequently, taking up afresh one of his half finished labours, when he again asked leave yesterday to bring in the bill we have here par ticularised. After a discursive conversation among various members, the leave so asked was almost as a matter of course immediately granted. Without any serious demur being made by any one, a momentary effort to nip the project in the bud was adventured upon, happily in vain, by the simple devise of moving that the House be counted. That effort proving a failure, the desultory talk which had been commenced was continued to its close, and permission for the introduction, we may say more, strictly speaking, the reintroduction of the measure, granted accordingly. Beginning the good work thus before Easter, Mr. COWPER we may now reasonably hope will have at length, in 1862, have begun it in real earnest. There is but little proba bility that the promoters of the undertaking will be once more baulked in their endeavours by a lack of time before the next prorogation of the two Houses of the Legislature. In reality, there is no substantial opposition of any kind what soever to the carrying out of the designed im provement. The advisability of concentrating the now scattered law courts under one roof tree in London, as has long :ince been done under the clustered domes of the Four Courts in Dublin—anti as, in truth, has been done upon a grander or a lesser scale in most of the great capitals of Christendom—almost every one who has hitherto spoken or written upon this matte r h as f rom t h e fi rs t i ns t an t most cordially recognis e d. Distributed as our law courts now are in various p arts of this vast metropolis, a metropo li s composed at m , • its very nucleus of the twin cities of London and *Vv e tniosttr, the various administra tors of tho law, the • a gee, the barristers, the soli citors, and their clients, with - all the motley eon ) course of subordinate offi cers and virtually put to the utmost inconvenience— witnesses , at the e same time that the dignity of the courts themselves can be in no way adequately secured, or the majesty of the law ade quately housed in a structure of appropriate mag nificence. By the simple devico of bringing the whole of the law Courts permanently together upon a single site, the Chief Commissioner says, and says with obvious reason, that a signal Law Reform will thereby be at once accomplished. Time will be saved—time, which proverbially with a mercantile race like ours, is " money "—" time," which in law is really and truly often and often, so to speak, " everything." The site is already mapped out. The Funds are already at com mand of the Legislature. The bill is actually drawn up and arranged. The Government are formally and reiteratedly pledged to the realisation of this alluring and perfectly feasible enterprise. Success, we earnestly trust, will attend the measure throughout its various stages to the close—until the Legislature has willed, before the completion of the present session of Parliament, that out of the chaos of our dark, and narrow, and often almost squalid, law courts there may rise a Palace of Justice worthy of sheltering within it the majesty of the Laws of England. What remains of European trade with America seems destined to another check, and that, too, from a clause in the Act of Congress creating the £30,000,000 of inconvertible paper money, which appears to have been inserted from honest motives. The Senate resolved that the interest of the Federal Debt should be paid zn gold. Foreigners who hold stock in it will be pleased that their claims are thus placed beyond the possibility of dispute, and that they cannot be told that if they invest in United States stocks, they must share the treatment of United States citizens, although that might mean that they were to take Federal assignats. All State creditors at home and abroad are to bepaid in specie. This, however, necessitated the States' obtaining the specie before it could pay it—accordingly, the Customs are required to be paid not in inconverti ble paper, but in that universally convertible article, gold. Now, as gold had already reached 5 per cent. premium, this is equivalent to at onto adding five per cent. to the already extravagant duties of the MORRILL tariff. But, worse than that, suppose through any great reverse of the Federal arms, or through larger issues of paper, gold should rise rapidly to ten, fifteen, five-and-twenty per cent. premium, after the orders to Europe had left America, and before the goods arrived, obviously the importer might be almost ruined by the adverse effect on the sale of his article. At present all looks bright for the Federals ; thirty days, or three times thirty, at longest, are to bring JEFFERSON DAVIS to the scaffold, unless he have previously shipped himself off for Europe ; but mercan tile men, while they may illuminate their houses on the strength of their hopes, will like to be a little more sure before they send out their orders. If success continues, the thirty millions of paper will be no more than the internal trade of the States requires, and will be absorbed with ease. Indeed the States will be an example to us of the advantage with which we might also cancel thirty millions of national debt, with loss to no one but the monopolists of Threadneedle-street. It is, indeed, surprising how eompletely the late successes seem to have assured the North that it is all up with the rebellion. They ought to know better than we, and they seem to be quite confident that in a short time the South will entirely collapse. All their discussions are now on what they shall do in a Restored Union; or, whether the Union can be restored in its old form. Some are advising to declare the South altogether territory ; and then to admit it as States again under such new con ditions as the North may think safe. This opinion has even been laid in regular form before Congress. But how can any one expect that Mr. LINCOLN would entertain such a proposition for a moment ? He will adhere to the Constitution through thick and thin ; and no power exists in the present Half Congress which sits at Washington to legislate for all the States of the old Union. Indeed, any act of the kind would require the assent of all the States of that Union. Many now foresee that the South, if restored on the Constitutional terms of the Union, will still be more than a match for the North. By allying itself again with the Democratic party there it may even elect its own President. And, in the Senate by the number of the States; and in the House of Representatives, in virtue of representing three fifths of their slaves, the South will be so powerful that it may by gaining only a few Northern repre sentatives, control almost everything. This is the danger naturally feared by the advocates of negro liberty. They see that the South will still have the power, if it has the address to use it, and in politi cal skill the South has always been pre-eminent—to strengthen rather than to weaken its hold on slavery. Hence many are beginning to look to gradual and social causes, when slavery is confined within its present limits, for its ultimate extinction. They especially rely on the extraordinarily rapid exhaustion of the richer parts of the soul by slavery ; and hence predict that slavery will expire from want of land suitable for its existence. Only the energy and skill of freemen, we are told, can till the greater part of the land in the Slave States themselves. Hence slaves are to become freemen because, as slaves, they would ruin their mR. and MRS.

I The sufferings entailed upon working men from the nature of their employment are unfortunately too common. The palsied frame of the toiler, whose unhappy business it is to minister to the luxu ries of his fellows by applying the quicksilver to mirrors, the rapid death of the lucifer workers, mostly women and children, the evils resulting from the stifling atmosphere necessary in some of our factories, the dangerous inhalation of the poisonous white lead by painters are among the " grisly family" which threaten our working classes, and if they do not deprive them of their lives, rob those lives of their bloom, and doom them to the pains and penalties of age before half their race is run. Attention has recently been drawn to the arsenic employed in various manufactures which we trust, for the sake of humanity, will henceforth fall into disrepute. But among the trades which cannot be dispensed with in a civilised life there are many which might be deprived of their terrors by a little precaution, expense, and labour. Those for which at present no remedy or mitigation is known are surely well worthy the attention of our scientific men. There is, however, one cause of disaster very easily removed which has recently oc casioned frightful some accidents. We allude to the risks attending machinery not properly protected. The sad fate of Mrs. MOUNSEY, who lost her life lately from becoming entangled in machinery, was speedily followed by a similar misfortune, and we see with regret that another case of the same kind has very recently occurred near Malton. A thresh ing machine was at work, and Miss BOULTON, the daughter of the occupier of the farm, stood near, looking on. The wind blew her dress too near the tumbling shaft, which drew her in and whirled her round and round. She received, as might be anticipated, the most dreadful in juries, and now lies in great danger and suffering, with two broken limbs, and otherwise severely hurt. The most painful thought to the owners of the machine must be that this lamentable disaster might have been entirely avoided bad pro per care been taken in covering the tumbling shaft. The accident at Burgthorpe fesulted from the same cause. Surely after this second lesson the owners of such machines will take a simple precaution which may spare so mach sorrow and suffering. It has been by no means uncommon to hear of injuries arising from the careless use of such machines, but it seems that nothing less than loss of life will suf ficiently arouse the attention. Allowing for the greater risk of a lady's flowing dress and for the in experience of the sufferers, there are many cases in which the workers themselves might get entangled. Surely every one who employs machinery should do so at the least possible risk to his fellows. The other day a valuable horse was greatly injured by an alarm caused by a similar machine. Something is of course to be said as to the heedlessness or rashness of visitors and workers. No stranger should be admitted to see machinery in motion without being told where the danger, if any there is, lies ; and undertaking to abide by the directions given by those better informed. The same care should be taken with those employed, and severe penalties should await the neglect of due precautions. Were such rules steadily enforced the inevitable dangers of machinery would be guarded against, while a little care and outlay on the part of the owners would often save life and spare themselves painful reflections. TBE PRINCE OF WALES' TOUR IN TILE EAST. ALEXANDRIA, MARCH 14. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales arrived on the 13th inst. at Siont, on his way up the Nile. WINDSOR, MARCH 14.—Her Majesty, attended by the Countess Blucher, walked and drove in the Home Park this morning. Her Royal Highness the Crown Prin cess of Prussia (Princess Royal), accompanied by his Rupsl Highness Prince Alfred, went to London, and re turned in the afternoon. His Royal Highness Prince Arthur, attended by Major Elphinstone, R.E., arrived at Windsor Castle from Osborne. The Marquis of Hartington, M.P., has arrived at Melton Mowbray from visiting the Countess of Sefton, at Croxteth -park, Liverpool. The Marquis and Marchioness Pisani di Stefano have arrived at the Brunswick Hotel, Jermyn-street, from Italy. The Earl and Countess of Yarborough have left Portman-square for their seat, Brocklesby-park, Lincoln• shire. The Earl of Wilton comes to town to-day from Melton Mowbray. The Earl of Coventry has left town for his seal in Gloucestershire. Lady Egerton of Tatton has issued cards for an assembly on Monday, the 24th inst., at the family mansion in St. James's-square. Lord and Lady Ashburton come to Bath House on Monday next from the Grange, Hants, for the season. The Hon. George and Mrs. Barrington have ar rived in Hertford-street from Beckett House, Berks. The Italie states that Baron Ricasoli left Turin on the 9th for Switzerland. Advices from Corfu state that the Duke and Duchess of Saxe-Coburg have arrived in that island. In consequence of the Seine, the next West India steamer expected, having:left Southampton with the outward mails on the 3d, instead of the,24 ,of February, which happened to be on Sunday, anti: owing alic, to the shortness of the past month, she will not become due at Southampton with the howward mails until six p.m. on the 17th inst. It is proposed to open the exhibition rooms of the Royal Academy on certain evenings of the week dur ing a portion of the season. A correspondent of the Manchester Guardian states that Mr. Thackeray is about to resign the editorship of the Cornhill Magazine. Sir Roundell Palmer, it is said, has, for some years, been collecting and arranging materials for a new hymn-book, which he will shortly publish. M. Mires' new trial is to come on at Douai on the 31st of the month. THE OPERA SEASON.—Her Majesty's Theatre opens, under the management of Mr, Mapleson, on Satur day, April 26, The Royal Italian Opera opens on the Bth of April. THE GREAT ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY IN THE CITY.—We have already briefly mentioned a very exten sive robbery of jewellery at the shop of Messrs. Dodd, Brothers, jewellers and silversmiths, No. 40, Cornhill. The shop, we now learn, which has a double front, with the sides and shutters covered with sheet iron, was closed and secured at 9 o'clock on Tuesday night, one of the firm, with his servants and assistants, sleeping in the upper part of the premises, a large Newfoundland dog having the roam of the hous?. The discovery of the robbery took place about 5 o'clock on Wednesday morning, when the constable on duty in Cornhill noticed that the small panel of the shop door had been cut out, and temporarily placed against the aperture. On entering the shop it was found in the greatest state of disorder. The glass cases on the counter and in the shop windows had been opened and cleared of all the most costly jewellery, watches, diamond pins, rings, brooches, Sec., roughly valued at between £3,000 and £4,000. Exter nally there are no marks of violence to lead to a conclusion that the shop was forcibly emered from the street. The re moval of the panel underneath the shop door appears to have been done from the inside, while the aperture is scarcely large enough to admit of a person squeezing him self through. Another extraordinary circumstance is men - tioned. The padlock that fastens the shop-door on the inside was wrenched off with its fastenings, from which it is inferred that the thieves must have secreted themselves in the shop before the business was closed on Tuesday evening. RAILWAY AND PUBLIC COMPANIES IN PARLIA MENT.—Ycsterday, the committee of the House of Com mons, sitting to consider the competing schemes for a rail way to the camp at Colchester, passed the bill of the Ten dring Hundred R a il way f or th a t purpose, with which, it may be mentioned, was associated the accommodation of an extensive agricultural district, and ignoring the bill of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, but giving them an extension of time for the completion of their line to Ongar. Clauses connected with the interests of the South Eastern Railway Company were submitted, and considered in the committee on the bill of the London, Chatham, and Dover R a ilway. The committees on the Andover and Great Western group of railways, and on the Bainsley Coal Rail way evidence throughout the day, until the Speaker ' Extensions were engaged in takingim portantB wC wag at ato prayers, Company's masters. The predominant feeling of the North since their success, is, so far as we can judge by their press and their public men, to get all things round as quickly and quietly as possible to the old constitu tional position. At the same time there are not wanting prophets who predict that the South will fight till it secures for itself a larger or a smaller separate Confederation of Slave States. We are not inclined to prophecy, but we certainly see no reason to alter the opinion that the South can hold out for a very long time, if it will but submit to severe privations for separate existence. The amount of fatality and suffering which occurs in a civilised community from preventable causes, is always a matter of deep regret. The unavoidable risks of some professions, the insidious dangers which lurk in some trades are greatly to be lamented when they carry off brave and labo rious men ; but thesorrow occasioned by an untimely or disastrous death, a crippled limb, or a hopelessly injured frame, is doubled by the reflection that such catastrophes might have been avoided by the use of due precautions. It is but very recently that a ter rible accident, which might have been considerably mitigated under other arrangements, has depopu lated a village, and aroused the interest and sym pathy of all the nation, from the palace to the cottage. Bat thousands of such deaths take place in our busy mines without attracting much atten tion, resulting from the culpable indifference of the masters or the reckless carelessness of the men. Who knows the number of lives lost at sea which a harbour of refuge on an exposed coast, a neigh bouring lifeboat, a rocket and mortar, might have saved P How many have paid with their lives for their adherence to a dangerous and preposterous fashion ? How many railway companies have economised in the calibre of their servants at the LATEST NEWS. PARIS, MARCH 14, EVENING. The debate on the Address in the Corps Legis- Latif R as continued to-day. In discussing the paragraph relating to the finan cial question M. Darimon brought forward an amendment of the Left, criticising the imposition of new taxes. He desired a reduction of the ex penses. M. Magne replied to the attack. M. Devinck censured the creation of several new taxes. The discussion will be continued to-morrow, TURIN, MARCH 14, EVENING. In the Senate to-day Signor Oldoffredi requested explanations upon the subject of the meeting of the Provvedimento Committees at Genoa. Signor Ratazzi, in reply, censured the speeches made upon the occasion referred to. He stated that the Ministry had confirmed the instructions given by the preceding Administration to the autho rities at Genoa. Public tranquillity had not been disturbed. If occasion should arise, the tribunals would administer the laws. With regard to the right of association, it had been generally admitted, up to the 25th of February last, that the right of meeting was secured, as far as it was not in opposition to other rights. The Go vernment had always reserved the right of inter vention. The declaration of Baron Ricasoli, in recognising the right of association, had changed jurisprudence. Signor Ratazzi stated that an opportunity had now arisen of regulating this right. The Government would watch the question, and consider what it had to propose. (Applause.) The Senate unanimously resolved that it was satisfied with the explanation given by the Mini stry, and, taking note of the declaration of Signor Ratazzi, passed to the order of the day. PARIS, MARCH 14. The Paris papers publish the following tele- gram : According to news received here from Greece, the state of affairs in that country were still very serious. Epirus and Thessaly were, however, tranquil. The new financial measures would come into ope ration at the end of the month. The Government had called out 30,000 men to complete the lists of the regular army, which had been reduced through financial necessities. The Pays of this evening states that the insur rection in Nauplia has gained ground in the neigh bouring provinces. Arta, Prevesa, and Larissa have become the seats of revolutionary committees, which act in open day. The Royal authorities have been expelled from Tripolitza. The insurgents have cut off all communication between the Piraeus and the western ports of the Peloponnesus. No soldiers have yet taken advantage of the amnesty offered by the King. FRANCE. BOURSE, March 14.—The market has been again animated, and a rather considerable amount of busi ness has been done, at an improvement on the clos ing rates of the previous day. Threes, for the Account, which opened at 69f 75c, are now firm at 69f 95c. The Railway Share Market has been also buoyant, and many of the lines are marked rather higher.

One would have thought that, after so many official and other assurances tending to relax the severity of the present system of the Government, we should now be in the enjoyment of at least our individual liberty. Far from this being the case, we are still in the possession of all the privi leges attached to a genuine Russian state of siege. We are still doomed to behold the Russian soldiers bivouac in the public places of this elegant city; numerous patrols are incessantly traversing the streets ; no one can go out of an evening without carrying a lantern ; the arrests and deportations ace still the only work and profit of the officials, who would be greatly disappointed with the loss of such an excellent harvest. To give you an idea of the extent of this atrocious policy I will only mention the following fact :—A man, whose wife being near her confinement, had been suddenly visited with very dangerous symptoms, ran out, without the lantern, to fetch the doctor, when he was stopped in the street by the soldiers, and in spite of his entreaties and explanations put in pri son. Two days afterwards he was released, but on returning home he found both the wife and the child dead in the bed. Could such an act of bar barity be tolerated in any other country but Russia ? Not long ago a sum of £3,200 was sent from St. Petersburg for distribution among the most needy people. A poor shoemaker, father of seven children, had, wiihout his knowledge or consent, his name placed on the list of the recipients of this bounty. Summoned before the agent of the police to receive his share, 15 florins (about 65.), he said he never asked for it, and did not know from whom it came. " From the Emperor," he was peremptorily answered, " because you are poor." " It is true I am poor," replied the man, " but I work hard to support my family, and require no assistance from anybody." He was much pressed to take it, but declined to receive anything. Of course such a flat refusal gave him the character of a very dangerous person in , the eyes of the Rus sian authorities. He was forthwith imprisoned as a revolutionary firebrand, and his wife and seven children would have starved had not the charity of his countrymen been extended to them. Some time ago, while the new Archbishop Felinski was officiating in the Cathedral, a woman fainted, and a young student, who was close by, ran to her assistance. The police soon arrived, and was told by the student that their interference was unnecessary. This remark was a sufficient pretext for the arrest of the young student, whose name is Jacob Yenczynski, and his subsequent incorporation as a private in the penal military companies at Orien burg. It is difficult to find words strong enough to ex press indignation at such cowardly conduct. Though the Archbishop protested several times, yet the police are always stationed in the churches, and even examine the prayer-books whether they do not contain a prayer for the country or a national hymn. The Archbishop had received from the Emperor his permission to send to his Mejesty direct telegraphic despatches, but General Luders, the Governor- General, had produced an order to prohibit such communications. The worthy prelate has now learned by experience, and at his own expense, what the Imperial promises are made of. Luckily for the Poles, such disgraceful behaviour of the Russian Government can only turn in the end to their advantage. The theatre is only frequented by the Russians, and hardly half of the places are filled. The mourn ing is still worn, and no sign of public amusement is visible. Everybody seems to be occupied With the works of charity towards the prisoners and the unfortunate, and emulate in zeal for patriotic deeds. A very strong impulse has been given to the de velopment of the village schools by the landed pro prietors ; but it is feared the Government will check it, believing ignorance to be the best instrument for upholding despotism. However, it will find it a hard task to turn the peasants against their masters, as the harmony between the two classes is perfect, owing to the praiseworthy efforts of the late Agricultural Society. As an act of great condescension and Imperial favour, we were announced a visit in the spring from the Emperor Alexander. The reports which are sent to him on the feeling that pervades the country towards him will, it is believed, de ter the Czar from undertaking this journey. He would for certainty, should he come among us, meet with the same cold and almost insulting recep tion which he found two years ago in company of the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia when they assembled here, not, as it was stated, to consider the then state of affairs in Italy, but to concoct some new wicked plan to keep down both Poland and Hungary. The two last monarchs, no doubt, repent of having been entrapped by the arch-spoliator of Poland, who himself seems to be awfully worried by his stubborn nobility in Russia, who clearly see that he is incapable of coping with the gigantic events which agitate his heterogeneous empire, and in all probability he will have to make room by and by for a new and constitutional Sove reign. ITALY. A letter from Genoa of the 11th, in the Siecle, says :—"At the close of the sitting of the commit tees of the Provvedimento yesterday, I happened to be close to Garibaldi, who did me the honour to call me, take my arm, end beg me to accompany him to the carriage which was in waiting. Well,' he said to me, ' are you satisfied ? The teleraph is now at work, and no one will be any longer able to say that the Italians do not know how to come to an understanding together.' ' The friends of Italy, General,' I replied, have never doubted tho spirit of concord which ani mates all her sons.' After having asked me for some information relative to late events in Paris, Garibaldi spoke to me of the working classes of Lyons and of St. Etienne. ' You have not forgot ten them,' I said, as your subscription and the letter which accompanied it sufficiently show. ' There are days when I regret being poor,' he re plied, but I never regretted it so much as on that day. Apropos,' continued he, inform those brave workmen who sent me such magnificent boots, that I have put them on to come from Caprera to Genoa.' Is that a prognostic, General ?' I asked, for you promised to use them in the first war. ' Who can tell P' We had at that moment arrived in the middle of the street, making our way with great difficulty through the compact crowd. Garibaldi had broken a cigar in two, and was preparing to light it, when a movement of the people separated us, and carried him to the carriage which was wait ing for him." AMERICA. We (Times) have received from our own corres pondent at Queenstown the full details of the news brought by the Kangaroo : No advance of the army on the Potomac has as yet taken place, but the weather has become very dry, and the roads are already considered to be in a fit state for marching. There had bean various false alarms of battle on the Potomac, entirely without foundation. Their effect, however, was to frighten a large number of persons north from Washington. There is a full confirmation of the occupation of Nashville by the Federals. The Secretary of War had received a despatch from General Buell announcing the fact that his troops had taken pos session. The Confederates were stated to have abandoned everything in their flight, and a vast amount of stores had fallen into the hands of the Federal troops. The Union sentiment was repre sented as being very strong in Nashville. A despatch to the Chicago Tribune says : " The rebel army, in their retreat from Nash ville, left 1,600 sick and wounded, destroyed all the badges, burned all thn gataarnbocata but *Jur, which escaped. The Texans fired the city in many places, but the citizens extinguished the flames. The great majority of the property-owners remained. The excitement was intense. Governor Harris made a speech, and said that he had done all he could, and he was going to leave, and advised them to follow." The St. Louis _Democrat has a despatch dated Clarksville, the 26th inst., which says : " The rebel soldiers, before leaving Nashville, plundered many dwellings and business houses, and excited great alarm among the people. Several re bels were shot by the citizens whom they were rob bing. General Nelson is in command at Nashville, General Buell being still on the north side of the river. The Union sentiment is very strong, and our troops are received with the greatest cordiality. Great indignation is expressed against Governor Harris, who was fairly driven away by the Union men, they having become bold at the proximity of the Union troops, and daring to assert their rights. Before leaving Governor Harris made a speech, recommending the citizens to burn their private property, and calling on Tennesseeans to rally and meet him at Memphis, but no one paid any attention to him, and it is thought he will not receive any considerable reinforcements. Gen. Crittenden's command had joined General Johnson at Murfreesboro. The railroad bridge at Nashville had been destroyed by order of General Floyd (the thief), against the urgent entreaties of the citizens. The destruction of the bridge caused much indig nation." The Confederates are said to meditate the evacua tion of Columbus. The following are the authori ties for the statement : " St. Louis, Friday, Feb. 28. " The Memphis papers of the 19th inst. say that General Polk issued orders yesterday that the track of the Memphis and Ohio Railroad should be torn up preparatory to the evacuation of Columbus, and the demolition of the fortifications there. The Columbus forces are to fall back to Island No. 10, about 45 miles below Columbus, which, it is said, comp:etely commands the river, and can be fortified with heavy guns, and made impregnable against any river attack. " CAIRO, Friday, Feb. 28. " We learn from a gentleman thoroughly conver sant with Kentucky, that the rebels are dismount ing their large guns at Columbus, and that the work of evacuation is now going on. Several transports are lying at Columbus to carry off the troops. Every man coming into Columbus is im pressed ; even farmers with their teams. Several hundred negroes were sent into the interior yester day. This is from a reliable source. " The Confederate War Department has called on Tennessee for 32 regiments. "An official despatch received at Knoxville,says, that an ample force will advance from Richmond to protect East Tennessee. ,‘ Governor Harris has taken the field in person. The report of General Beauregard's illness is un founded. He left Corinth for Columbus on the 19th. s , The Memphis Avalanche of the 24th says :-- Persons reported to have left General Johnston's command say that he entertains no doubt of his ability to enter Nashville whenever he wished to do so.' " A. special to the Chicago Tribune, dated Cairo, February 28, states : report from Murfreesboro states that the rebels have concentrated at that place, and that General Buell had surrounded them so that none could escape. The rebels offered to surrender their position if allowed to march out with the honours of war. General Buell refused, and demanded an unconditional surrender, and said that he would allow two days for consideration, and if the place was not surrendered at the expiration of that time he would open fire upon them. The time expired this morning." From St. Louis we learn that Gen. Halleck, in a general order, states that sufficient information had been received that the enemy, in evacuating Mudtown, Arkansas, poisoned the provisions they were obliged to abandon, and that 42 officers and men were poisoned by eating the same, He says " We cannot retaliate by adopting the same bar barous mode of warfare, nor can we retaliate by punishing the innocent for the guilty. The laws of war forbid this. But the same code authorises us to retaliate upon the guilty parties. Persons guilty of such acts, when captured, will not be treated as ordinary prisoners of war ; nor will they be shot, but suffer the ignominious punish ment of being hung as felons. Officers, of troops guilty of such acts, although not t i nemselves the advisers or abetters of the crime, will, when captured, be put in irons, and conveyed as criminals to these head-oraarters. The laws of war make it their duty to prevent such barbarities. If they neglect their ditty they must suffer the con sequences." A flag of truce from General Johnston to General M'Clellan had given rise to a variety of reports of the intended submission of the Confederate Govern ment. The negotiation referred merely to an ex change of prisoners, and had no connexion with any offer of compromise or submission. Mr. Seward having been informed of the existence of a democratic club in Philadelphia, the purpose of which was to nominate him for the next Presidency, has addressed a letter to one of its officers stating that when the present civil war was looming up he deliberately renounced ail ambition, and came into the Executive Government to aid in saving the Con stitution and the integrity of the country, or perish with them. He had renounced all expectation of future personal advantage, and he therefore not only asked, but peremptorily required, his friends to drop his name thenceforth and for ever from among those to whom they looked as possible candidates for national distinction and preferment. MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT DAVIS. The following is the full text of President Jef ferson's message, a summary of which has already appeared : " To the Senate and House of Representatives of the Confederate States,— "In obedience to the constitutional provision re quiring the President from time to time to give to Congress information of the state of the Confede racy, and recommend for their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient, I have to communicate that since the Message at the last session of the Provisional Congress events have demonstrated that the Government had at tempted more than it had power successfully to achieve. Hence, in the effort to protect, by our arms, the whole territory of the Confederate States, seaboard and inland, we have been so exposed as recently to encounter serious disaster. When the Confederacy was formed the States comprising it were in the peculiar character of their pursuits, and a misplaced confidence in their former associates, to a great extent destitute of the means for the pro secution of the war on so gigantic a scale as that to which it has attained. The workshops and ar tisans were mainly to be found in the Northern States, and one of the first duties which devolved upon this Government was to establish the neces sary manufactories, and in the meantime to obtain by purchase from abroad, as far as practicable, whatever was required for the public defence. No effort has been spared to effect both these ends, and, though the results have not yet equalled our hopes, it is believed that an impartial judgment will, upon full investigation, award to the various departments of the Government credit for having done all which human power and foresight enabled them to ac complish. "The valour and devotion of the people have not only sustained the efforts of the Government, but have gone far to support its deficiencies. The active state of military preparations among the nations of Europe in April last, the date when our agents first went abroad, interposed unavoidable delays in the procurement of arms, and the want of a navy has greatly impeded our efforts to import military sup plies of_all sorts. " I have hoped for several days to receive the official reports in relation to our diseomfitura at Roanoke Island and the fall of Fort Donnelson. They have not yet reached me, and I am therefore unable to communicate to you such information of past events, and P-onBeanc.neeP reSUitinG from them, as would enable me to make recommendations founded upon the changed condition which they have produced. Enough is known of the surrender of Roanoke Island to make us feel that it was deeply humiliating, however imperfect may have been the preparation for defence. The hope is still entertained that our reported losses at Fort Donelson have been greatly exaggerated, inasmuch as I am not only un willing, but unable, to believe that a large army ofour people have surrendered without a desperate effort to cut its way through the investing forces, what ever may have been their numbers, and to endeavour to make a junction with other divisions of the army. But in the absence of that exact information which can only be afforded by official reports it would be premature to pass judgment, And my own is re served, as I trust yours will be, until that informa tion is received. In the meantime strenuous efforts have been made to throw forward reinforcements to the armies at positions threatened, and I cannot doubt the bitter disappointments we have borne by nerving the people to still greater exertions, will speedily secure results more accordant with our just expectations, and as favourable to our cause as those which marked the earlier period of the war. " The reports of the Secretaries of War and Navy will exhibit the mass of resources for the conduct of the war which we have been enabled. to accumulate, notwithstanding the very serious difficulties against which we have contended. They afford cheering hope that our resources, limited as they were at the beginning of the contest, will, during its progress, become developed to such an extent as fully to meet our future wants. The policy of e nlistment for short terms, against which I have steadily con tended from the commencement of the war, has, in my judgment, contributed in no immaterial degree to the recent reverses which we have suffered, and even now renders it difficult to furnish you as accurate statement of the army. When the war first broke out many of our people could with diffi culty be persuaded that it would be long or serious It was not deemed possible that anything so insane as a persistent attempt to subjugate these States could be made—still less that the delusion could so far prevail as to give to the war the vast proportions which it has assumed. The people, incredulous of a long war, were naturally averse from long enlist ments, and the early legislation of Congress rendered it impracticable to obtain volunteers for a greater period than 12 months. Now that it has become probable that the war will be continued through 0 , series of years our high-spirited and gallant sol diers, while generally re-enlisting, are, from the fact of having entered the service for a short time/ compelled in many instances to go home to make necessary arrangements for their families during their prolonged absence. The quotas of new regl meats for the war, called from from the different States, are in rapid progress of organisation. The whole body of new levies and re•enlisted men will probably be ready in the ranks within the next 30 days ; but, in the meantime, it is exceedingly dift cult to give an accurate statement of the number 01 our forces in the 'field. They may, in general terms, be stated at 400 regiments of infantry, with proportionate forces of cavalry and artillery, the details of which will be shown by the report of the Secretary of War. I deem it proper to advert to the fact, that the process of furloughs and re-enlistment . in progres s for the last month had so far disorganised an d weakened our forces as to impair our ability fo r successful defence ; but I hereby congratulate So u that this evil, which I had foreseen, and wa s powerless to preveni, may now be said t o be sub" stanlially at an end, and that we shall not again, during the war, be exposed to se eing our strength diminished by this fruitful cause of (115 aster—short estimates " The people of the Confederate States, being principal►y engaged in agricultural pursuits, were unprepared, at the commencement of hostilities. with shipyards, materials for shipbuilding, or skilled mechanics and seamen in sufficient numbers to make the prompt creation of a navy a practical task' even
