silver mines. The Senate has passed the following
resolution on the subject:
Resolred That the Committee Federal Relations be
instructed to inquire into and report at the earliest posi-
BILE period first Congress organizing the

they became positively frightful at night when the
rain was falling, and the sky sombre with clouds.
All the flags were still Haunting in the dripping
night, and the reports of fire arms broke the still
ness in every direction. The forms of men, per-
fectly visible in the darkness, were seen swaying
hither and thither missiles in their hands, and mad
ness in their hearts. A fearful time has
never been known in the history of the city, To
oppose the people would have been mad futile.
All roughness and all ruffianism seemed to be
abroad; hooting, yelling, racing, and rioting.
From far and near pistols and guns made loud or
faint reports, and women and children sat shiver-
ing at their homes, unable to read the cause
of the outbreak, but shuddering in anticipation
of its effects. The town was filled with rumors
that this and that place were to be sacked, and
this or that man dragged from his bed and
murdered. The police force vas powerless- The
rapid evolutions of the mob defied their pursuit.

Ths bottom Falling Out.

a most remarkable letter from Mr.. Mem |
ninger, the Treasurer of the Southern Con-
federacy, has just come to light, in which |
be discovers that the brilliant financial sys-
tenn, invented and put in operation By the
founders of the New Government is likely
to prove miserable abortion. The South
srn Government finds itself likely to be in
tie position of the man who won the ele-
phart, and therefore declines to issue its
Bonds for Cotton, which Mr.. Memminger
says the Government cannot in any way
make use of The Southern Confedersey
is evidently in trouble about this little mat
ter Of Finance, and Mr.. Memminger at last
in despair, advises planters to go to work
and raise corn, instead of cotton. And
this is the denouement of that magnificent
seheme Of the rebels, by which Govern
ment was to be successfully. carried on by
ahinpiasters, issued upon the expected sale
Of crop, not one pound ofwhich will ever
reach foreign market. Instead Of ruling
the world with Cotton as the South has
done for many years, she now in self-ds-
tense, abandons the cultivation of the great
staple, In order to raise food for the servile
population which is eating out her vitsls.
The planters have been promised aid by the
southern Government, and when it is re-
minded Of these promises, it coolly tells the
planters to give up thes cultivation Of Cot
ton, and devots their ground to winter crops

a1@It is highly gratifying to usto. find
that Col. Crutt and bis entire regiment ere
fast making friends in this community of
those who, only few weeks since, were
almost mortal enemies. Col. G. and his
command have conducted themselves in a
most exemplary manner during their So
journ amongst US. They are spoken Of by
those entertaining opposing opinions as
high-toned gentlemen. By this course of
conduct they will soon achieve greater
victory over the enemy than by the use of
sword and bayonet Scarcely q month
since we heard some of the most "rampant''
Secession neighbors denonnciug persons of
Northern birth and education as unworthy
of confidence and not deserving the civil
treatment due gentlemen. But since the
formation of Camp Dixon the tone of these
same gentlemen has modified marveIously
Their opinions of their brethren of the
North seem to have undergone a great
change. If the people of the two sections
now -arEayed against each other had known
each other better, the present state of things
would never have existed at least the re-
belliou would never have attained such
magnitude.-HeHdsOsOR Hail

The Fight at MorgantOwn, KY.
On Thursday last, the rebel forces to the
number Of three or four hundred, swan the

Green River, about Is miles from Bowling
Green. Col. McHeury was encamped with
his regiment in the vicinity. On learning
the intelligence, he at once advanced with
the force be had, and after sharp conflict,
drove back the confederatss, killing many
and pretty efectually dispensing them. The
rebels, it is believed, had sent of for REIN
forcements, with tins dissemination of MAX
ing another assault. Col McHenry dis
patched messengers to different points for
reinforcements, intending to give them bat
tie Il Is thought by this time be has some
1900 or 900 troops collected under his
command. The messenger from the camp
arrived just before the boat left, and our in
formant did not learn the lumber of killed
aud wounded, though It is believed to have
been very severe on the part of the Confed-
crates, as they were compelled to cross the
river in retreat. We may soon expect news
Of a battle, as the point is one seriously
threatening Buekner's flank.

ARevierx OF the Losses.

The Commercial Advertiser has a careful
review of the various skirmishets, battles
and important Reconnaissance, from the
bombardment of Sumter to the late battle
at Romney, with the most accurate returns
of the losses that could be obtained. The
result, as figured up from the table, is
Killed, sounded, Pria, Total

But this shows greatly to the disadvan-
tage of the Union side, since the losses of
the rebelsin many important actions are
unknown, while the prisoners on the Union
side are largely made up of the troops sur
rendered by Twiggs treachery in Texas.

parlor of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York.
to witness the presentation, by Mayor Wood

Mayor, in his remarks, recited tho origin
and significance of this presentation-that
it is only prOfsred in cases of extraordinary
merit, and had been resorted to In that city
only in a few instances, which he cited.
Not only was the individual valor Of General

of Fort Sumpter highly creditable, but the
heroic example to his country in that try
ing crisis was beyond praise. he then ten
dered him the freedom Of the city, as man
Tested by the presentation of the box he
offered. Genl. Anderson, who is in very
feble health, remarked that his physician
had expressly forbidden any attempt at
speaking on his part, and observed that be

gratitude in writing, which he requested a
friend to read. He duly and gratefully APP
preciated the honor conferred upon him !;
claimed that he had only done his duty,
and regretted that his health now prevent

lowed to the beautiful graveyard a6join-

fence of the best government that human
wisdom ever devised.
The funeral was the largest ever witness

withstanding the limited notice, that there
were over l,5co persons present, thereby
showing what lively interest IS felt by
the community in behalf of our bleeding
country. The body was buried with the
usual honors of war, after which, the pro-
cession formed and marched back to town,
where they were dismissed in order.
The deceased leaves q wife and six small

states that In addition to his many other in.

the following verses are given as written
by that lamented officer and statesman
about twelve years ago. The last verse
seems almost prophets.
TO a Wave.
Dost thou seek star, with thy swelling Great
Oh wave that lsavest thy mothers breast :
Doss thou leap from the prisoBed depths below
In scorn of their calm aud constant low
Or art thou seeking some distant land
Te die in Eurmurs upon the strand
Hast thou tales to tell of ths pearl-lit deep,
Where the wave-whelmed mariner rocks Ia slespf
Carst thou speak Of naEiss that sunk in pride
Ere the roll Of their thuuder In echo died
What trophies, what banners, are h0Atipg tEeS
In the shadoWy depths of that silent sea
1t were vain to ask as thoH rollest afarl
or banner, or mariner, ship or star
It were vain to seek in thy stormy face
Some tale of the sorrowful past to trace
Thou art swelling high, thou art ashing Hee'
How vain are the questions We ask OF thee
too am wave on a stormy sea
too am q wanderers driven like thee
1 too am seeking q distant land
To be lost and gone ere 1 reach the strand.
FOR the land seek is a wayeless shore,
And hey who once reach it shall wander no more
