Labors Of the Southern CONGRESS.

The calm, dignifed, and earnest course
which has characterized our Congress, has in
spircd the Southern people with full conf
dence in its wisdom. Hence, notwithstand-
ing most of the business has been in secret
session, and the public interest and curiosity
very great, yet we hear no complaints nor
expressions of distrust concerning the provi-
sions being made for the future welfare of
the South, The editor of the Savannah Nc,cs
writes as follows of the Congress:
"Our readers have, no doubt, felt some inn
patience in consequence Of the meagreness of
the reports of the proceedings of Congress
which have been enabled to give them, and
it may be that they have thought the body
dilatory in the discharge of the important du-
ties devolved upon them. In this opinion,
however, they would do the Congress-
is one of the most harmonious and hard work
ing bodies ever convened in our country
great injustice 1t has been deemed best, un-
der all the circumstanccs-and | think the
good reasons for it will be apparent to all
that the deliberations and discussions of the
Provisional Congress, charged with so many
delicate and important trusts, should be in Sc
cret session. What has transpircd in secret
session cannot be known to the public, who
must judge of the wisdom and patriotism
which has guided the deliberations of the bo-
dy by the results to which they arrive and
which will be indicated by the measures of
public policy which they wiladopt. Besides,
it should be borne in mind, that our Proyis.
ional Congress, with only torty-six members,
representing seven States, have, besides the
important duties of framing system of gov
ernmcnt for the new Confcdcracy, and the
organization of its various departments, all the
committee duties that wore in the United
States Congress divided among nearly three
hundred members of the House. The labor
on these Standing Committees, of which
there are eighteen, besides Select Commit.
tees, is very great, and occupies all the time
of the members not occupied by the sessions
of the Congress. If our people have had less
buncomb speeches to read, than the sectional
wranglcs of the late United States Congress
has afforded them each session for the last
quarter of a century, they may console them,
selves that their expenses for gas have been
less, and the true interests Of the South have
lost nothing by the economy"

THE VIRGINIA "Om R"-Largc
Sale NJ LarLs.-We learn from Parkers
burg papers tat during the past week there
have been cOnsummated at Burning Spring,
Virginia, two extensive sales of oil lands
one embracing portion of the Burning
Spring property, and the other portion of
the farm Immediately opposite on the South
bank of the Little Kannwha River. 1t ap-
pears chat iIr. j. c. Rathbone has sold, or
contracted to sell, to Judge Can ZEN, of
Clarksburg, and Judge jackson, of Parkers-
burg, and seven others, his Individual title to
fifteen and ne-half of two.thirds interest
in two hundred acres of land, with profit
of one-ninth of ali the leases taken upon it,,
for 500, ,000-$5, 900 in hand, $4,000 in
six months, and the residue in twelve months.
Messrs. Charles Moore and j. r. Jackson,
of Weston, and r. Snowdcn Andrews, of
Baltimore, purchased all of the interest of
t. w. Henderson and David Paden, in
acres of land, on the opposite ID of the riy-
er, for $4,000, and the Little Kanawha
Burning Spring Petroleum Company have
since purchased a one.third interest therein.
The hitter sale is contingent upon oil being
found on the land
These sales, averaging between fifteen
hundred and two thousand dollars per acre,
(says the Regfster,) are of land which one
year ago could have been bought for. less
than one hundredth part Of their present
price. Astonishing as this may seem, it is
yet deemed the greatest bargain ever sold in
this country, as, should the land continue to
yield oil, even in moderate quantities, the
rents alone for one year would be worth
much more than the purchase money The
actual value of the land can hardly be com
puted. The Lcwellyn well, for instance,
which yielded five thousand dollars worth of
barreled oil in ten hours, would pour out if
unobstructed, over thousand dollars worth
of pure oil in an hour

GREAT DAY IN MONTGoMERY.-.W Who
would have thought on the sixth of Novcm-
Der thet another President would be inaugu-
rated Jetore Lincoln? What strange med
ley of events is history? No one at the time
above mentioned dreamed Of double Presi-
dental installation in this land of ours Yet
such fact is to go upon the years record for
the use of future annalists and for the benefit
of eotcmporary chronicIcrs.
On this day, Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi,
is to take the oath as Chief Magistrate of the
" Confederate States at Montgomery, n very
respectable republic that is about enrolling
itself in the family of nations, and which bids
fair to become at future day, if it can pre-
serve its independence and unity, quite for
midable power. ~
General Davis is about the very best man
that could have been chosen as the executive
head of the new Confederacy. He has every
necessary civil qualification for SO high and
responsible trust and what is of infinitely
more Importance under The peculiar ciroum-
stances by which he is surrounded, he is emf
nently gifted with military accomplishments,
which he may very sOo,.. in his new position,
have occasion to exhibit on the field His
personal intrepidity-his daring valor---his
skill as a commaDder,, his chivalrous bearing
are universally known and acknowledged.
No American officer is superior to him in the
endowmonts and attainments which signalize
the true soldier. An army under his lead
might fearlessly encounter one of double it's
numbers under any banner. In mis- Mexican
campaigns he won reputation which euhtles
him to stand, as he does, amonga the fore.
most of the military characters of the age.
This is the man who is to day to be inau-
gurated President of the Southern " Confcd.

ARKANsAs-c oNvENTIoN.

The following special dispatch from Little
Rock, was received at this Office last night:
LITTLE Rock, March 1.-THE convention
to-day was principally occupied in discussing
a resolution that the state OF Arkansas rscog.
nize the independence Of the Southern Con-
federaey.
The Union men plainly intimstsd that theJ
would vote down a secession ordinance. Il
will be the special order tomorrow.
The resolution as to the independence Of The
Southern Confsderaey is still before the con
vention.
A resolution was offered to resist coercion
in any shape, to second the seeded States ia
holding the public property in their possession
and to resist any attempt Of the Administra.
ton to levy men or money in the Southern
States.
A Unien man offered a resolution to call q
convention Of all the States to revise the Con-
stitution. y

SPIRIT Of THE NORTHERN DE-
mOCRACK.

The spirit which s~ctustss our NoFther Dem
ocratic friends in the present critical condition
Of affairs may be Judged Of, from the following
paragraph from the New York NsUs. Should
the doors Of the Southern Confederacy be left
open for the admission of free States, We
doubt not that many Of them, especially those
lying on our immediate northern and north
western border, would very soon range them
selves under the banner Of the new Republic.
The Ne0s says;
Whenever the Southern States arrange their
Government and Constitution exactly to suit
themselves, it will, doubtless, suit every Dem
ocrat and liberal man Of the North. We care
not in what manner they shield their rights to
property in negroes-care no. what may be
their views Of the African race, or what they
engraft on our own Constitution to protect
themselves 10 full and undisturbed possession
Of this class Of property. When this is COM
pleted and the South is satisfied with 1--we shall
advocate this and other Northern States Join
ing the Southern Confederaey. The Tribune
may scout at this idea, but we can assure The
Republican Abolition gentlemen that such will
be the action Of more than one Northern State.
We cannot be hitched to the car Of New
England fanaticism, and be expected to draw
steadily in the traces-D0t We.
