WASHINGTON, Jan.
MALICE OF THE sEcEssIoNIsTs.


learn from reliable source that at
4 ,noatines lately y hold of Southern Rep
rcsentatives and Senators, it was deter
mined that the latter should remain even
after the secession of their States, in or
der to embarrass legislatio" and if pos
sible defeat the appropriation bills.
TooMBs' PH1LIpPIC-BITTER FEELING.
The temper prevailing to-day is worse
than have ever seen it since the com
mencement of the present session of
Congress. Nothing will satisfy the Gulf
States except entire submission to all
their demands. Mr.. Toembs delivered
in the Senate one Of his most violent
harangues. He was extremely hoarse,
which prevented large portion of his
speech being heard, but when he came
to hurl defiance and invectives against
the North, he managed to make himself
audible. After he concluded motion
for an executive session was renewed,
and with success This time the bitter
Southerners in vain resisted. The ses
sion was not a long one, and the Senate
adjourned until Wednesday. "A. ..
PROCEEDINGS. oF THE HOUSE. .
The proceedings of the House were
exceedingly interesting. After the,pas-
sage ofthe Legislative, executive and iu-
dicial appropriation bill, which, by the
way, gives twenty four thousand two
hundred dollars for refurnishing and i'm
proving the White House, Mr. Ether
idgo got up his resolutions, which are
the Same as those adopted by the Bor-
der State caucus which he proposed as
amendments to the Constitution. He
moved to suspend the rules in order to
have them printed, ana a day set for
their consideration. The motion did
not prevail, the Republicans resisting it,
they not being prepared to swallow some
things contained therein This greatly
damped the spirits of the South Ameri-
cans, and they are very much incensed
at the result
MAJ. ANDERSON ENDORSED BY THE
HOUSE. ~
Following this came the adoption of
Mr. Adrain' S resolution endorsing Maj
Anderson's course, and proposing to
sustain the President in the enforcement
of the laws.
THE PRESIDENT DENOUNCED BY THE
SOUTHERN MEMBERS.
[ have seen the House excited and
noisy, but never since the famous row
between Pryor and Lovejoy have I seen
greater turbulence manifested than to-
day. Barksdale, Moore, Hindman and
Rust led the van, and denounced the
President in unmeasured terms, calling
him a traitor, a violator Of sacred
pledges, &C.. &C.. They discovered no
boldness in Anderson's act, but rather
looked upon it as piece of cowardice
Nothing could restrain their eloquence;
they insisted upon speaking in defiance
Of all rule. ....- ..
BARKsDALE BELIGERENT.
Barksdale, particularly, would pro
ceed to assail Major Anderson and the
President, though raped to order, by
the Speaker, to an extent which drowned
his voice The Republicans called on
the Sergeant-at Arms to perform his
duty, but Barksdale, needless of all re-
monstrance, proceeded, and got through
with his grafton. 1t hardly can find a
place in the Congressional Globe.
The South AMERICANS made short
speeches, expressing admiration Of An
dersen, but declining to. vote for the res
olution, as they. thought it looked to
coercion. The decisive vote-124 to 81
by which the resolution was adopted,
will = doubtless 5 be peculiarly gratifying
to Maj anderson g
TooMBs TO BE ARRESTED AS sA TRAITOR.
There is a rHmor in circulation to-day,
that in consequence of Toomb;s dispatch,
recommending Georgia to seize the
Forts, he may be apprehended for trea-
son. INDEX.
