Rather Refreshing at Last.
The condition of the United States Senate
is better than it has been for years. A friend
who was there recently, observes that it is a
refreshing sight to enter the Senate Cham
Der and look upon the Republican side
There the desks were all full, while on the
other side of the Chamber there was dilap-
idated appearance. The Republican Sena-
tors looked as if they were conscious that the
control of Government had been thrown upon
them, and they looked as if they were pres
pared to meet it. Let US hope that it may
lonp remain without change

Starving Out the North.

By way of exhibiting the utter Ignorance
and extreme folly of the Southern Disunionists,
who are calculating upon the starvation OF
Northern laborers to bring the North TO terms,
the New York Times publishes the fact, that
the laboriug people Of Massachusetts, and Con
necticut alone, have on deposit in the Savings
Banks of those two States, the sum of sixty
SEVEN MILLIONS OF DoILARs-the accumulated
savings of poor men and women, now drawing
thereon an interest of 63-lOOper cent. The
Times adds
1--WE venture to say that the operatives of
New York, New England and Pennsylvania
alone could produce, from their own resources,
at ten days notice, TWICE AS MUCH MONEY as
all the Southern States, in the event of seces-
sion, could raise in year by taxation, or bor-
rotc in the markets of the world. And we
will furthermore venture the prediction, that,
if the South persists in its policy of disnnion,
within one year from this these very "pauper
operatives" of the North will be contributing
money to relieve the distresses OF the people IN
the Southern States.

Legislative Summary.
JANUARY s, 1861

JANUARY s, 1861.
The Senate had but a short session today.
The subject of Woman's rights was introduced
by memorial asking that the wife be pa-
ced on an equal footing with her husband in
the right to time, earnings, property, and the
control and guardianship of children" which
was referred to a select committee of Messrs.

On motion, the House adjourned.

Tuesday was the 8th of January, the ami
versary of the battle of New Orleans New
er before have the day and the hero of the bat
tie been so honored as on the present occasion.
Throughout the Northern States, wherever
the facilities for doing so were at hand, salutes
were fired, and at many points other appro-
pirate exercises were added, such as military
parades, Union addresses, resolutions, &c. In
almost every case the name of Maj. Anderson
was united with that of the hero of New
Orleans-the salutes being in honor of Gen.
jackson and Maj. Anderson" The sig6if-
canoe of all this is obvious. Gen. jackson,
in addition to his military fame gallantIy main
tained the Union when imperilled by South
Carolina treason iu 1882, and Maj. Anderson
under most trying circumstances has acted a
noble, brave and manly part, with the same
object in view, in the harbor of Charleston
We have no cannon here, and consequently
cannot fire salutes, but the hearts of our peo-
pie warmly respond to the sentiment, wherever
uttered, of honor to the memory of Genera
Jackson, the defender of the Union, and to
Maj. Anderson, the gallant commander OF
Fort Sumpter."

While arms were daily sent South, the Ad-
nfinistratioh controlled by disunionists, and
the property and forts of the country situated
in the secession States left unprotected every
effort made by the Republicans in either
branch eff Congress to have resolutions of in
quiry passed was violently aud successfully re-
sisted. But now when things have taken
turn, their course has changed, and they
are as much in favor of resolutions of inquiry as
they were before opposed to them. They were
stron gly in favor of sending arms and ammu-
milton South, but cannot tolerate the idea OF
troops being sent in that direction.

The work Of secession is progressing in the
Cotton States. On the 9th the Mississippi
Convention, by vote of $50 to "a. passed
an ordinance declaring the State out of the
Union. Florida will follow suit in few days,
her Convention being in session and said to
be unanimous for secession. The Alabama
Convention is also in session and though the
Northern part of the State went nearly unan-
imons against secession, the organizltio indi-
Gates that the secessionisis are in the majority
and the probability is that she will not be
long in following the others. In Georgia the
secessionists triumphed at the late election for
delegates to tire State Convention and the
returns from Louisiana as far as received rem
der it probable that State has gone the same
way. Meantime, several Federal Forts have
been seized in Georgia by order of the State
authorities, and report says the same course
has been pursued in Louisiana and Alabama
