A RESOLUTION

TOUCHING POINTS OF MARITIME LAW. DECIDED
BY THE CONGRESS OF PARIS OF 1856.
WHEREAS, it has been found that the un-
certainty of maritime law in time of war has
given rise to differences of opinion between
neuirals and belligerents, which may occa-
sion misunderstanding, and even conflicts;
and. whereas, the PlenipOtentiaries of Great
Britain, France. Austria, Prussia. Sardinia,
and Russia, at the Congress of Paris, of 1856,
established an uniform doctrine on this sub
ject, to which they invited the adherence of
the nations of the world, which is as follows ::
1, That priyateeriug il and remaids abol
ished;
2. That the neutral flag covers the enemy's
goods. with the exception of goods CONTRA
band of war;
3. That neutral goods, with the exception
of contraband of war, are not liable to cap
ture under the enemy's flag; and,
f. That blockades, in order to be binding,
must be effective; that is to say, maintained
by force sufficient really to prevent access
to the coast OF the enemy.
And, whereas it is desirable that the Con-
federate States of America shall assume de-
finite position On so important point, now,
therefore,
BE ii ResolUed, That the Congress of the
Confederate States of America accept the I'd,
Sd and 4Ih clauses of the above cited declar-
alton, and decline to assent to the LIST clause
thereof.
Congress has adopted resolution to ad-
j 0urn on the 10Th OF the present month, and
to re-assemble on the third Monday in No
vember next.
The knowing ones say that stirring news
from the seat OF war may be expected soon.

Patriotism of the South.

As illustration of the feeling of determin-
ed resistance that animates the Southern peo-
pie against the base usurpations attempted
by Lincoln and his unholy crew, gentle
man relates the following:
A wounded soldier belonging to Capt
Kings company, 9Th regiment Georgia vol
unteers, is now in Richmond. He is twenty
seven years old. His wife is twenty-five.
They have fourteen children, nine boys and
Eve girls, eleven of whom are at school. His
wife gave birth TO twins six times, who are
all alive. All the sickness of the whole fani-
ly since his marriage would not exceed the
sickness of one person three days His par
ents raised twenty-seven children, six boys
and twenty-One girls. He is six feet and one
inch high. and weighs one hundred and eigh-
iy pounds: is healthy. raw -boned man, and
is the smallest of six brothers. He is a
farmer
When patriotism leads man to leave so
large a family of small children as this,
what must be the causes that influence a man
to go TO war, and what enemy can conquer
such a peoplef The soldier spoken of above
has now brother at Manassas, who weighs
two hundred fourteen and pounds, and Yields
a bowie-kniie weighing six pounds.

GEN ZoIIICoFFER.-The Lyncbburg pr-
qinian says Seen. Felix K. ZolIicofer having
been appointed to command the troops
of that State in lst Tennessee and the por-
ton OF Virginia bordering thereon, has is
sued very proper address to the people. =
Gen. z. is the right man in the right place.
He has the wisdom aud the firmness to deal
with the issues that may be forced upon bim;
and if it be necessary, and the only way to
secure peace, and order, and to avert civil
war in East Tennessee, he will soon rid II OF
that pestiIent brood of leaders who have
been tolerated much too long in their trea-
SOD. There is no excuse for the conduct OF
these men, hemmed in and protected as they
are by slave territory;a it would be fatal
bIuner in our government, one that would be
a prolific source of annoyance, were Andy
johnson, Maynard, aud their fellow conspira-
tors allowed to nestle there, and concoct
their traitorious schemes. Brownlow and
MAYNARD have fed, johnson is in Washing
ton, and will stay there until the Southern
ers invest it; and Nelson is prisoner at
Richmond. We may expect therefore that
domestic treason will soon die out of Ten

The FIRING OF THE CONFEDERATE ARTIL-
LERY-A correspondent of the New York
Tribune, Zone of the 18th regiment,) describ
ing the late bat lie, remarks:
First of all we observed what had been all
day conceded-the deadly accuracy of the
Confederate artillery. Scarce a shot failed
to bring down its horse, man or gun carri-
riage. AS one regiment--I think the Brook
Ign I4th was advancing to the charge, shot
from rebel cannon brought down the f1ag g,
color guard and all. 1t was seized instantly
by other hands, and borne rapidly on
Whenever our men would lie down under the
slope of hill to screen them from the with
ering fire of the batteries, the gnnners would
get their range so accurately that balls and
shells would come skimming over the hill
side, not six inches from the ground, alight-
ing in the hollow, amid a nest of crouching
soldiers. Many and many poor fellow was
killed while lying on his face or in gully
to avoid the shot.

AnbuIanees.

An ambulance is moving hospital attach
ed to an army for the purpose of rendering
immediate assistance to sick or wounded SOL
diers. 1t will perhaps interest the reader to
have description of the ambulances captur
ed by our troops after the battle of Manassas:
The body is fifty inches wide, and is divi-
ded into two compartments, ecch one enter
ed by means of door at the rear. The dri-
yer sits outside, entirely away from the suf-
ferer, and is protected from Indictment
weather by an adjustable calash top. The
ambulance has four steel springs resting on
the flexible hickory shafts, and the bed on
which the patient lies is also supported by
four other steel springs, to which are attach
ed small wheels to facilitate the movement
In and out of a wounded soldier, without bis
rising. The bed and mattress is decidedly
ingenious arrangement, and should be seen
to be fully understood. Either end can be
raised at any elevation desirable, and either
end of the mattress can be made into good
pillow in an instant. A small trapdoor in
the centre of bed, worked By means of a
spring and bolt, affords convenience to the
sufferer that can be easily appreciated. II
the weather is warm, and the sun too hot to
admit of hosting the curtains, turn of a
button unloosens section of the side, which
drops down upon its hinges and the cool air
can pass through and over the inmates, while
the curtains still shut out the rays OF the sun.
Several also have a rack over the head,
where trunk or any clothing desirable can
be placed, and everything that would con-
duce to the comfort of the wounded immedi-
ately within his reach. In fact, the new am
bulance il complete movable hospital, in
which the sufferer can rest at ease, forgetful
that be is In the camp or upon the battle

The BURNING OF HAMProN.-It appears
that the village of Hampton, near Fortress
Monroe, Va, was not burnt by the Federal
lists but by Southern troops acting under or
ders of Gen. Magruder. 1t contained be-
tween 1900 and 1000 inhabitants when the
war commenced, but few of whom remained.
The houses were principally constructed of
wood. 1t is supposed that the village was
burnt to prevent its occupation as winter
quarters by the Federalists.

Hampton.

A citizen of Hampton. who was in our Of
fee yesterday. is satisfied that the destruction
OF that town is almost total. The population
of the town was between 300 and 2,0OO-
The buildings were chiefly of wood, though
there was a large number of substantial brick
buildings. 1t was quite handsome town,
and ofconsideFable resort. 1t is now in ashes,
and it's inhabitants houseless, and many OF
them. of late we'll of, are now penniless.
The same gentleman is of opinion, from OBJ.
servations made by himself that Newport
News had not been evac uated, as late as Thurs
day. He saw no appearances oft and Fed
eral steamers and vessels were lying opposite
