Resolutions reported by the committee on foreign
affairs in Congress- have been adopted by that body
eommendatory of the sctiOn of the cotton planters
in Withholding their crops from market and keeping
them on their plantations. 1t was understood that
the New Orleans insurance companies had refused
to insure any cotton brought to the sespOrts. The
collection of the crops at suck points would only be
an advertisement to the enemy, and mark, per-
haps, for his rapacity.
Il is understood that Congress cannot possibly ad-
journ to-day as was appointed. Its session may e
prolonged week yet Besides making provisions
of ways and means, there a number Of other impor-
tant measures to be consummated before the ad-
iOurnment not to speak Of retdttGtoTy law, which
has been and is still expected from Congress N view
of the ccnfseatiOn bill passed at Washington.
Congress, we learn, has called upon the Navy De-
partment for an estmste of the amount required TO
construct two gunboats for the defence of the city
of Memphis and the Mississippi river in that neigh
borhood, upon 8 special plan, which has been sub
mtted to the Department. The boats, doubtless,
will be built and equipped as speedily as possible.

A hospital has been opened at Beaver Dam sta
tion Hanover county, on the line Of the Virginia
Central Railroad forty miles from Richmond, by
Mrs. Henry Carter, the Misses Fontaine Mrs. An
derson Mrs. Hatch and other ladies Of the vicinity,
for the reception Of cenvaescent soldiers The hos
pital is capable of accommodating about twenty
persons who will have the personal attention Of
many ladies in the neghberhOOd; good physician
will also be in attendance Every attention viii be
paid the soldiers that be and their plac will be
filed by others as fast as they are removed Eight
of the sick, who have been at the st. Charles Hos
pital in this city left for Beaver Dam Saturday
morning last. This is another instance Of the kind
ness shown our soldiers by the ladies Of Virginia,
and we expect to hear Of like institutions through
out the State, by patriotic omen, until We will
have a sufficient number to accommodate all who
NAV be sick; and we can assure those persons liV-
ing in the far South who have brothers, husbands
and fathers with u.s. as well own people, that
they will be as weIl provided for and made as COM
Portable ts if they at their own homes. Never
before has such selfsaeIfce been made as has been
by the ladies Of Virginia, and, in fact throughout
the South generally and we can only hope that
they may all live to enjoy that blessed liberty for
which the soldier Is daily exposing his life.

The beat OF the drum and heavy
tramp of armed men is heard through
out the day and night. The widest
military enthusiasm and patriotism
prevails. From the numerous armo-

and recruiting offices on Camp, Char

Their eyes are Opening.

The Hartford Comm Courant,
amid all the war excitement, ventures
thus TO talk
Public opinion a; the North seems
tobe gradually settling down in favor
of the recognition of the new Conted-
eracy by the Federal Government.
The thought of bloody and pro-
tracted civil war, except as a matter
of absolute necessity, is abhorrent to
all, and its issues may be as perilous
TO the victor as the vanquishcd.
The New York Journal of Com
merce has thereon the following
rather dry comment:
We learn that n sermon much IN
this vein was preached in northampton
Mass, by the Rev Mr. Eddy, of that
town. on the occasion of the recent
Fast and that it was generally ap-
proved, even in that rather ultra Re
publican community 1t was par.
rallelism between the present seces-
sion and that of the Ten Tribes in
Rehoboam's day. from the original
Union, wich was thereby reduced to
the Tro Tribes of Judah and Ben
jamin Rehoboam was going to fight
the Ten Tribes back into the union.
but the Lord. through his prophet,
commanded him not TO do so.

Tie whispers of the demon within,
he poured the liquid down her throat.
The commissions which followed
were TOO horrible for description :;
the witnesses-all but Lc!ievre-tled
from the room-the dark curtain OF
death dropped upon the tragedy.
Besides these deeds of horror, the
prisoner was accused Of the Murder
of two Spaniards, of that oi'his broth
er, and of an attempt on the
life OF his own father. In the
course of the trial the body Of his
murdered child WAS found. and the
guilt brought completely home TO the
parent. In the meantime the t'rimi-
