Hurrah for the House Of Representatives.
A resolution yesterday passed the House
unanimously, requesting the President to
cause James n. Mason, captured by Com.
Wilkes, and now confined in Fort Warren,
% be put into a ielOn's cell and made to share
in every respect as far as can be ascertRined,
the treatment and fate of Col CorcOran,
whom the rebels have selected to share
the tate OF the pirates now confined in New
York. This is a good work, and We fancy
the rebels viii not be in hurry TO sign
Masons death warrant by hanging Corcoran
up. Let Mason 20 to the FoOmbs, It viii
do him good, and II, in consequence of what
we here write, any are moved to call as
''vindictive" and blood thirsty" LET them
imagine Col. CoFcOrsn in his cell, and say
why any better treatment should be given
the traitor than that served cut to the pa:ri-
OL By alater dispatch It will be seen that
Slidell was also remembered in the distribu-
Of thase favors.
Three several propositions we're submitted
urging the emancipation of the slaves oi

HonorabIe HumbuFs.

As a fair specimen Of English ignorance
of American affairs, of English prejudice
against this country, and of English lying,
here is a precious statement made by the
Hon. q. Berkeley, N. P, in a speech deliV-
cred in Bristol, England. Iuspeaking of the
distinction made against the colorea race al
the North, he said;
'sFo such an extent is this distinction car
ried out, that when, on the 4th Of July, the
anniversary of American independence Is
celebrated, the black man is not allowed to
celebrate it on the same day as the white
man (shame) and therefore the t0hiteS esLe'
brate Their great RGiOBaI festival on the Ts'ETth
and TIE blacks on the J1th (Shame.)
This Is Just about as correct as the csnArd
which that lying humbug Russell makes in
his last letter to the Times, the N. Y. Herald o.
London, when he says that "Mr. Lincoln snC
his Cabinet were not indispoSed towards ar
arbitration of the difficulty with the rebel
lious South, and that the question of accept
ing the aid of some Of the pOtentates o
Europe was actually under discussion a

ThaHksGivIuG Day In O0nnecticut"-Munih-
fa cent Gift Of Contractor.
Let it never be said again that contractors
have no souls or that soldiers are always
forgotten By public officers. The soldiers who
are in the various camps and barracks in
OOnnsOtiout will resent any such charges, for
they have had occasion to know better. Gov.
Buckingham was taking steps to furnish, on
the part Of the State, Thanksgiving dinner
70 the troops in camp in the State, when be
learnedlthatEMajOr B. F. Mansfield Of New
Haven, who is the Government contractor
for rations for all the troops in Connecticut
end Rhode Island, had made arrangements to
supply out of his own pocket, and outside Of
his contract for ratiOns, q rich and bOuntiful
Thanksgiving dinner of turkey and chickens
70 every soldier in the State. The Governor,
therefore, waived bis place as host, and let
Msior Mansfield have the field, and from
every camp in the State went up at once
asvory Odors from the roasted fowls, and
hearty thanksgiving to the generous con-
tractor. As we have had occasion to know,
Major Mansfield is one of the most respected
citizens of the Elm City, and this act but con-
, firms the e5timation in which he has been
held.

there were not more than two or three which

Here is a description of an accident near

The following extract from one signed by
a meandering autograph terminating in the
uame Of Judy, and addressed to a volunteer
at Fort Walker, gives, among ether things,
a very disparaging idea of the company of
ehivalry located at Cattle Greek:

They have had a Convention at Nashville,
Tennessee; & sort ofsOuthern Convention Of
ways and means for raising the needful, q
consultation upon the most practicable way
Of raising the wind. And that Convention
passed the following remarkable resolution
/" ResoIUsd That we recommend that by
law a tax be levied upon every gallon of
spirifuous liquors, distilled from wheat, corn,
rye, OF potatoes, that shall be sufficient to
prohibit the same during the present war and
blockade the proceeds thereof 10 be applied
70 the support Of families with Us Of our SOL
disrs on the tented field"
The ways Of the rebels are inscrutable and
past finding out, and il may be presumptuous
upon our part to ask how q revenue is to be
raised upon that basis, but we should like to
be informed. To US outside barbarians, who
have not the wisdom and the faith of the
rebels in the success of their cause, it certain
u would appear that if q sufficient tax was
imposed upon any article to prohibit that ar
tiele from being manufactured, the revenue
which would be derived from that article
would be represented by 0, and we should
not like to belong to a family that was de-
pendent upon that revenue for a support. In
tact, we should conclude that the persons
who composed that Convention and passed
such resolution were in a condition which
Vanity Fair describes as agibbering idiOcy,
from having studied too long the maps in the
N. Y. Herald"
1t may be, however, that there was q rear
son in all this. The Nashvillians made a
large bid, last spring, for the capital of the
Confsderacy. The members of this OOnven-
tion hsd read the original rebel financial
schemes as well as Stephens celebrated
speech to the planters, and AemmingeFs re-
ply to their petition that the government
should buy their produce, and having these
brilliant efforts before their eyes, made bold
attempt to outstrip them all in absurdity. 1t
was almost an impOssibility, but they sue
ceedsd, and as a reward, Davis and his con-
frsres packed their trunks and had them
checked through from Richmond to Nash
Vile.
