take up the resolution, not considering
himself thereby committed On its passage
Mr.. Douglas favored taking up the
resolution with view to offer an amend
ment to bring it within the scope it ought
to take. He thought it would be wise
to withdraw the troops from Fort Pick
eus, as that and Fort Sumter are the
only forts in the Conferated States not
occupied by the government at Mont
gomery. But the resolution advises the
withdrawal of the troops from all points
in the Contederated States. The gov
ernment Of :he Conledertaedi States be-
ing only revolutionary government, ii
could claim only what it occupied. lie
was willing under existing circumstances
to give up Fort Sumter aud Pickens,
they being of no use unless intended as
basis Of military operations, and We're
now only sources of irritation.
Mr. Doolinle opposed taking up the
resolution.
Mr. BIeckinridge said he did not as
sumo that it would be test vote, but
thought it might be SO regarded.
Mr.. Wade hoped the resolution would
BE- taken up and dismissed. He did not
hesitate to say that the Senate ought an
der existing circumstances to express an
opinion. He was anxious this subject
should be fully discussed now. Seven
States had gone out of the Union, and
were domineered over by q usurpation
The people in those States had no voice
in the government that had been erected
and a military despotism tramples their
rights under foot. If they had the pow
ca they would call upon US to vindicate
their rights, and the Constitution clothes
Us with authority to do it.
After further debate the vote was tax
en-, and it was decided not to take mp the
resolution, 10 to 10.
There not being quorum present,
motions were made to adjourn and to 50
into executive session.
Suggestions we're made that a recess
be taken and to direct the Sergeant-at-
Arms to hunt up the absentees.
Mr.. Breckenridge said that after Civ
ing the Republicans an opportunity to
confirm the nominations, and thus dis
charge his duty, he would move that the
Senate adjourn sine die. Disagreed to.
Finally the Senate adjourned until to-
morrow

RECOGNITION OF THE SOUTHERN C0NFEDE
RACY,

Senator Bayard of Delaware has re-
Gently made a long speech in favor of a
peaceful division of the Union, by re-
cognition, on the part of the Federal
Government, of the independence of the
Southern Confederacy. The National
Lateliigcacer also, in an Elaborate edtori-
al on the secession movement, comes to
this conclusion, viz " II, then, the devel-
opements of the ensuing year shall leave
no doubt respecting the determination
of the people in the seeding states TO
maintain their present attitude toward the
United States, we shall advocate the pol
icy of their recognition by our govern
ment." We find the same idea thrown
before the public from other sources
We cannot say that we are much sur
prised at this development Of opinion,
because amid the extraordinary circpm-
stances Of tie last six months no kind Of
expression can be regarded as improba-
be A list Of the vagaries which have
already been eloited and have fallen in
to neglect, in connection with the pro-
gress of the disunion conspiracy, would
surprise if not amuse those who have not
! brought a critical inspection to bear up
on this great problem, whose solution is
yet hidden in the future.
But with regard to this last idea, thus
authoritatively introduced to the public,
we have to remark, in the first place, that
there is now no power extanl to affect
its consummation. There is nothing in
the Constitution which will allow the
Federal Government to recognize the
separate existence Of the Southern Con-
lederacy, and President Lincoln would
be liable TO impeachment if he should
move to that end. But it may be said
that the whole crisis is eztra-constitl,ion-
al--beyond the scope of that instrument,
aud not contemplated by it franers.-
This is true, but it does not reach the
difficulty in the case. All now in the.
Union profess to be bound BY the laws,
and the very fault that they find with the
seeded States, is that they reject that sa-
cred obligstion7-how, then, shall they
throw it off themselves Who has not
seen the apparent disadvantage at which
a rogue holds a just man, in his dealings
with him? However much his torment
er may disregard consistency and all the
moral laws, at which nobody manifests
any surprise, the hooest man is firmly

every other man, and to show that Ken
lucky is safe, even under Republican
administration. He wanted to put down
secession in every State of the Union.
The question was then taken on Mr..
Grimes motion to lay Mr.. Douglas
resolution upon the table. Carried %
against IL.
Mr. Breckenridge asked leave to intro
duce the following resolution, and il no
objection was made, he would ask a vote
upon it now:
Resolged, That the Senate recommend
and advise the removal Of the United
States troops from the limits Of the Con.
federste States.
Mr.. Sumner-Let it lie over.
Mr.. Clingman said he had a similar
resolution, with an additional point rec
ommending the abstainiug from all at
lempts to collect the revenue within the
seeded States. He said if the troops
are Withdrawn there ought to be forbear-
ance shown as to the collection Of the
revenue.
MIR. ColIamer moved that the Senate
90 iu'o executive session.
MI Breckenridge claimed that the
motion was not in order, as Mr.. Cling
man had the floor. He had no objection
to the alters resolution.
The Chair decided that the resolution
must lay over, as objection had been
made.
The Senate then went into Executive
session, after which it adjourned.

SHOCKING WIFE MURDER IN ST..
LouIs.-Ann Welsh, wife of Patrick
Welsh, died at the hospital al St. Louis
on the 18Th inst, from the effects Of a
most brutal assault made upon her by
her husband three or four days previous.
1t appears that the unfortunate woman,
who was with child, was one day sitting
on sofa, her head reclining on her moth
er's bed, when her husband, who had
lust awakened from one of his drunken
siumbers, stepped into the room and
without any proyocation knocked his wife
to the floor, and kicked neI terribly on
the sides, and jumping over her, struck
her several times on the abdomen with
his knees, He then seized a poker and
struck her numerically over the upper
ard lower extremities, leaving many
marks and bruises. His rage not yet
being satisfied, he ran the poker down
her throat. The mother Of the uufortu-
nate wife, weak and decrepid old woman
tried to interfere and protect her daugh-
ter, but received a severe beating from
the lenGish brute, and had to run away
from the house. On her return she
found her daughter prostrated by her in
juries. The poor woman was taken to
the hospital, where she soon became de-
lirious, and was unable to swallow any
thing except some liquid on account Of
the injuries to her throat. She died Of
inflammation of the abdomen, which post
mortem examination showed to have
been intense. Welsh fed from the city
on learning that his wife's life was in
danger. The two had been married less
than year.

tulcsuIJ, NidlCu -
The Chair submitted a message from
the President stating thBt he considers it
inexpedient to communicate to the SEN
ate Major Andersons dispatches at pres
ent.
Mr.. Breckenridge moved that his reso-
luton advising the withdrawal OF the
Federal troops from the seeded States,
be considered.
He intended to make no remarks, as
he had already expressed his views, but
desired that the vote should be regarded
as test question.
Mr.. Fessenden said he supposed there
would be no objection, but reminded the
Senator that there was not a quorum
present.
On motion Of Mr.. Hale the Senate
went into executive session.
When the doors were opened, Mr..
Breckenridge moved to take up the reso-
luton he offered yesterday, saying that
if the motion prevailed, he would accept
Mr.. Clingman's substitute. He asked
for the yeas and mays, as he should con-
slider it test question as to whether or
not the Senate was willing to express an
opinion.
Mr.. Rice said he was in favor of Mr..
Breckinridge's resolution, but thought
Mr.. Clingman's went too far He ques-
toned the right of the Senate to express
an opinion concerning the collecting the
revenue to the President.
Mr.. Breckenridge said it would be fos
the Senate to decide as to the acceptance
of Mr.. Clingman's substitute.
Mr.. Wade said he hoped Mr.. Cling
mans resolution would be taken up so as
to have a square vote upon it.
Mr.. Rice deemed it improper for the
Senate to advise the President on mat
ters which rest upon him by law.
Mr.. CIingman wanted to 60 further
than Mr.. Breckinridge's resolution, be-
Heying the President, under existing
laws, has no power to collect the revenue
in the seeded States.
Mr.. Rice said the Senate was travel
ing far out of its way to advise the Pres.
ident He asked Mr.. Breckinridge if
his resolution extended TO Key West and
Tortugas, as if so, he would not vote to
withdraw the troops from those points.
Mr.. Breckenridge said lie supposed
the resolution embraced these points as
they are within the limits of FloriJl.-
But he was willing to have these p7...s
excluded from the resolution rather thal
hazard It's defeat. as he did net Consider
The withdrawal 0! the troops from Key
West and Tortggas essential to the pub
lie peace. lie disliked to do SO, howev-
er, because he entertained hope of the
reunion of all Of the States.
Mr.. Rice said if the seeded States
are determined to remain out of the Un-
ion, he was in favor of their doing so in
peace. He would give them the forts
and arsenals for the sake of peace, but
they were not ia possession Of Key West
and Torlugas, and never will be. These
points are needed FOR US, and not for them.
The commerce of the North will never
yield these, and he would not give them
up under any circumstances.
Messrs. Clark, Simmons and Ten
Eyck opposed taking up the resolution.
Mr.. Trumbull said he would vote to

A PAINFUL PosITIoN-An unmar-
ried lady, perfect specimen Of an old
maid, being on a visit to a friend who
lived in a large manufacturing town,went
one Sunday to church alone, and was
shown into a large square pew in which
half dozen females were seated. The
prayers were drawing to a conclusion,
when the officiating minister deviated
from the afternoon service into another
with which she was unacquainted. This

course. followed their example, and, on
doing so, was surprised to see all tho
congregation except themselves, either
sitting or kueelins. Her companions
presently knelt down, She again follow
ed their lead, and by paying great aten-
ton to the succeeding prayer, she discov-
cred that it was a thanksgiving for safe
deliyerance from the great pain and peril
OF Childbirth. The usual aitenoos SER

held IN pu0Ic eslmatlou 10 tue stfIClesS
rules Of integrity, propriety and deeorum.
SO he ought TO be, and so he will gain in
the end--but oftentimes crime wrests a
temporary impunity from the process.tS So
now, no matter how unjustiiiable and IL
legal may be the course of the seeded
states, the Federal Government cannot
safely swerve hairs breadth from the
plain requirements of the Constitution
and the laws. If it does, its authority is
gone. The only method, therefore, in
which the Government can reach the
point of recognizing the independence
of the Southern Confederacy is through
a National Convention called in the legal
way, which shall so modify the Constitu-
ton as to provide for such recognition.
Practically, such realization Of power
seems now far distant--5o far THAT ii is
hardly worth while to speculate seriously
upon its exercise.
But another objection to the consider
alton of this matter at present, lies in the
fact that we do not really know what the
people Of the seeded States wish with
regard to it. If ever a separation is con-
ceded, it will be because the people con-
cerned shall haze given deliberate, un-
deniable, unanimous evidence that it is
their solemn will and purpose. We
have no such evidence now. OF the sew
en- states which Lave declared themselves
out Of the Union, one only has ratified
the ordinance of secession by popular
vote, and that one (rexas) did it SO hur-
riedly, and amid such appliances, that no
fair minded man can pronouce it the de-
cision Of the State. From present ap-
pearances, the permanent constitution Is
to be set over the heads OF the people
by the conventions which arose out Of
the first excitement, and ought to lave
died with it. 1t may be that the sober
second thought of the masses will approve
and perpetuate all that has been done
I but it is not to be presumed in advance.
The judgment of seventy years is not TO
be set aside by the mania Of a single
season. We are to wait patiently for
the people to recover their ordinary con-
dition and to pronounce their decisive
will. The secession movement may as
sumo a hall dozen phases before the
yea is out. A solitary incident-like the
refusal of an honorable withdrawal from
Fort Sumter, an attack on Fort Pickens
or a slave insurrection anywhere in the
seeded states-would change the whole
character Of present issues, and render
the question of recognizing the Southern
/ Couiederacy as much out Of place as it
was six months ago. The proposal there
fore, besides being alien to all our asso-
Citations, feelings aud hopes, is legally in
capable of being acted upon at present,
and Is very far from having been reached
even as matter for serious public con-
5ideration, by the present stage Of events.
Except as a topic Of casual speculation,
among The thousand such turned up by
the crisis, it ought to be indefinitely post
poned. Boston JourRaL
