Amid the multitude of evidences which thicken
on all sides of the atrocious purposes of the en-
envy, none, that we have seen, present a stronger
picture of their heartless and barbarous design of
subjug atng the South than the declaration of Hon
JOIN HICKMAN, who is himself notorious poltroon,
in the House of Representatives of the L. S. Con-
gress, on the 18th inst.
Mr.. VAILINDIGHAN offered an amer a1ent to the
volunteer bill, which simply provides for the ap-
pointment of peace commissioners to accompany the
Vandal army, with the view to negotiate for peace,
when opportunity shall present itself. The same
measure was adopted in the Mexican war, and when
Gen. JOHNSON was sent to Utah to crush the Mormon
rebellion
The following is the report of the proposition
Mr. Vallandigham proposed an amendment 20 the
bill namely That before the President shall have
the right to call out volunteers, he shall ap-
point some Commissioners to accompany the army
on its march, to receive and cons der such PROPOSE
tiOns if any may be submitted from the Executive
of the so-caled Confederate States, or any one of
them, looking to q suspension of hostties and the
return of said States, or any of them, to the Fed
eral Constitution and authorities. Mr.. VRllandg-
ham alluded to the fact that when Utah was in re-
belliOn three Commissioners were appointed to
company the army when moved into that Ter
TitorV, and certainly the case now presented
was one of far greater Importance to the whole
country. The army now should go forth with
the sword in one hand and the olive branch in
the other. He offered the amendment in good
faith and for the purpose Of ascertaining whether
there was disposition here to listen to terms of
accommodation lie would vote Just as many
men and as much a. was necessary TO protect and
defend the Federal Government. 1t was against
aggressive and offensive warfare that he raised
his voice.
WhereupOn HICKMAN gave vent to the subjoined
sentiment, unwilling the purpose OF the leaders of
the war movement
Mr.. Hickman thought that a hundred thousand
men would be sufficient to restore obedience to the
Constitution in the seeded States but the smaller
the number Of men the greater the time would be
required to accomplish the object in view. lie did
not know whether 1t was contemplated TO subjugate
the South but he did know that it was the purpose
to force the South into submission There could be
no loyalty without such submission. We, of the
loyal States intend to educate the rebels in differ
ent doctrine and if we ultimately forced TO
ring them into al Get subsection to the COnsti-
tutiOn it viii be theirs and not fault.

from SOUTHWESTERN MISSOURI.
The St Louis Democrat Of the 10th, has the fol
lowing news from the Southwest, fully confirming
our previous reports Of the movements Of the ar
kansas troops:
Capt Conrad's command which had been left at
Neosho, report that on the 9th of July they we're
surrounded BY 1850 Arkansas troops, and were
given fifteen minutes time TO surrender Before the
time expired the enemy's force was increased to
5000. Capt. Conrad then surrendered his command
Ben. Mccullough was present.
Gen. Price and Gov. Jackson then demanded that
their men and arms be delivered to the Missouri
troops. The Arkansas officers refused this demand.
Afterwards, Capt Emmett Macdonald passed among
them and inquired if they were not St. Louis boys
They replied they we're. The Captain then treated
a number of them to lager beer. They were then
sent off after taking the obligation not TO bear arms
against the Southern Confsderacy, under the escort
of Arkansas troops, as it was understood that the
Missourians intended to murder Them
The escort accompanied them some thirty miles
when they were left to find their way to Spring
field.
A large number of Indians was present in the
camp at NeCsho.

The Atlanta Rolling lIiII.

One Ct the most important enterprises in which
citizens of the South have engaged and calculated
to promote our independence quite as much as
any other that could be engaged in. is the Rolling
Mill established at this place. So important was
it regarded by the Convention that met at Mont
gOmery two or three years ago, that a special
committee was appointed to report to the meeting
ensuing. in reference to its operations AMI esti-
mated benefits.
In our columns will be found the advertise
ment of the projectors. setting forth that while
the roads Immediately IN this neIghborhood had
patronHed them literally those more remote have
not given them anything to do, and that IL no
orders for re-rOling rails are received soon they
VIII have to stop, their present efficient force viii
become dispersed, and they can give no assurance
of commencing work again soon.
The attention of Railroads in the Confederate
States is invited, most earnestly, to this important
matter The time may-we believe we would be
Justihable in saying it 15iH-come, when the Rail
roads within these States will very much need JUS
such an establishment, and should they allow il to
