MY DEAR FATuERA AND MOTHER:
The regiment is ordered to move across
the RIVER to night We have no mean,
OF knowing what reception We are to
meet with. l am inclined to the opinion
,hat our entrance to the City Of AIexan-
drla will be hotly contested, as am lust
informed large force have arrived there
to-day; Should this tannen. -
pen, cherish the consolation that was
engaged in the performance of sacred
duty; and to night, thinking over the
probabilities of the morrow and the oc-
currcnces of the past, | am perfectly
content to accept whatever my fortune
may be, confident that He who noteth
even the fall of sparrow will have some
purpose, even in the fate of one like mo.
Ny darling and ever-loved parents,
good bye. God bless, protect and care
for you. ELMER.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA Messrs. Pryor, Ed
wards, and Maynard compose the special COM
mittee Of the House to inquire into the truth Of
the allegation that certain. Southern members
from the seeded States have distracted books
from the library of Congress to form library Cor
the Southern Confederation.
The appropriation bills have been reported with
the usual items under the existing laws without
reference to the secession movement There IL
no appropriation for the branch mint at Dahlo-
mega, Ca. that Institution being considered use
less, and for years past has had little more than
nominal existence.
The criticisms Of Mr.. Lincoln's speeches are Of
the most varied character. His quaint, blunt
style is generally admired, but his apparent lack
Of appreciation Of the perflous condition Of the
country and Unsurpassed determi nation to enforce
the laws and protect the public property, does not
meet with much favor from southern members.
Many Of the republicans also condemn bis decla-
rations unnecessarily irritating and impolitic.
Mr.. Morrill, despairs Of the passage Of his tariff
bill. The tariff on wool remains as at present In
the new bill.
A proposition has been made for a sectional
caucus of the southern members Of the Peace Con-
ference. The Virginia members, however, decline
going into IL at present, for satisfactory to
themselves Ii may be that they fear losing the
control which is now tacitly accorded to them.
IL they enter a caucus they will be bound by It's
dec sions, and may be overslaughed.

The DsFlcIEScY BILL continues TO hang be-
tween the two Houses Of Congress. The only
point in issue between them upon it, is the appro
priation to enable the Government to carry out
the ehtriqui contract. The opposition to that
continues to come from the Panama monopoly.
That vast interest Of concentrated capital has
been able to crush ont ali competition In the
transportation Of passengers oceanwise, to and
from California, having successfully immolated
the Nicaragua and TehuaRtePec enterprises in
opposition to Its own. and also oil independent
lines attempting to run via the Panama Railroad.
1t remains to be seen whether ii has power over
Congress at this time sufficient to defsathe promise
Of the speedy establishment of an opposition line
to California via the Chiriqui isthmus, which il
Involved in the Governments contract 1t seeks to
nullifY; which, when established, will necessarily
reduce the price Of passage to from California
at least one half
The plea the agents Of the monopoly are now
resortng to Is that the title to the ChriqUi grant
is not valid-a discovery they have made, IL is to
Be presumed, shines the Attorney General Of the
United States and the New Granadian minister
an rmed its entire validity.
