Mr.. Sherman will report bill from the
Committee on Ways and Means tomorrow, au-
fhorizipg the issue of $40, 600 of Treasury
notes for the immediate relief of the Treasury
Department. They are to be issuablc for two
years. and redeemable from the proceeds Of the
remaining ST. 100000 loan authorized at the
last session. when sold. Mr. Sherman will ex-
plain to the House that this bill is only designed
as a temporary measure, and is predicated upon
the expectation that the Senate will pass Mr.
Morrirs Tariff bill without delay as the best
means of providing a revenue, and restoring con-
fGence.
NAVAL RESERVATIONS.
Commodore Shubrck, who has been fifty years
in the Navy, has prepared his letter of resignation,
t. BE- rendered when South Carolina shall secede.
1t is said to be conceived in the most touching
terms.
Cart Ingraham who has gone to the Mediter
ranean, is understood to have left his in view
of the same contingency; they are esteemed
among the best officers in the service.
THE ENGLISH PRESS ON THE ELECTION.
The tone of the English press on MIR. Lincoln's
election has occasioned some unpleasant rehec-
tons to the dislnionists who, in their visions of
cotton for King, have supposed Great Britain
would be good subject Their eyes will get
opened before long.
SPEECH BY MIR. DOUGLAS.
Mr. Douglas is preparing to address the Senate on
fhe present emergency and will take distinct ground
that secession involves war and oil It's calamities,
and that that fact must be confronted by the
men who are now precpiating the Cotton States
into revolution. He thinks it wiser 10 face the
whole issue, and let the people see the conse-
quences, than to blink it until the real crisis is
upon us.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
No purpose is seriously entertained of sending
Commissioners to South Carolina from the Bor-
der States, to persuade her to delay; but efforts
are making here in various quarters to restrain
anv precipitancy, in which some of her own
representatives have participated.
Assurances have been received that no at
TEMPT will be made to take the forts by force
until negotiations have been exhausted, and per
haps not until some plan of action has been con
eerted with the Cotton States.
According 10 the census returns here, tn
present white male population of South Carolina
above 20 years of age is about 47OOV. Stare
mems representing that $4,000 have been en-
rolled in the militia are necessarily erroneous.
ALABAMA.
Mr.. Stallworth, the special friend OF Mr. fltz-
patrick, is Just from Alabama. and reports that
the recent letter Of the latter is generally con-
demned for its moderation, and there Is hardly a
respectable minority in that State against imme-
date secession.
siR HUNTER AND THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
Mr. Hunter has not resigned from the Chair
,Nanshiu of the Finance Committee in the Senate
and his political friends protest against such
change at this time. If he did, it would be filled
by Mr.. Pearce of Maryland, who Is next III the
order Of Democratic ascendancy on that Com
mittee.
A PHILADELPHIA FOR SECESSION.
Mr. Baker. Collector of Philadelphia, Is here
and at the White House, in the presence OF a
promiscuOus company and elsewhere, has openly
justified the secession Of the South as proper
and charged the whole blame on the North.
These oficeholders are probably looking to the
spoils of the new Confederacy, but are recon-
mending themselves by premature zeal.
CORRECTION.
An awkward blunder in my last dispatch rep
resented Mr.. Fessenden as comforting with MessrS.
Pugh. Bgler, and others, about some projected
COMPROMISE. Mr. Crittenden was the person en-
gagged in that undertaking.
Nj. Judd of Illinois is here surveying the
political field philosophicaly.
GENERAL LEGISLATION.
There is a strong disposition on the Democratic
SIDE 70 postpone all general legislation until some
defltive action has been taken on the secuohai
question, either through the Committees already
raised or proposed or some other proposition
looking to adjustment or separation.
