The Confederate Congress-.

This body was to have adjourned on
Tuesday last. Whether it terminated its
labors on that day, we are not advised at
this writing. A portion of the press is
down pretty heavy on a majority Of the
members, charging them with having
been remiss in their duties, wasting their
time in proftless debates upon imprac-
teal niceties, and possessing but an in
adequate conception Of the responsible
ties Of their position. For ourseif, we
hardly know what has boon perfected,
but feel quite certain they have left I'M
touched, or unfinished, several important
measures-among others, that of making
Confederate money legal tender-and
done things that should have been left
updone, But we will wait until we are
furnished with q full bill of the fare, be-
fore INDUCING labored criticism. We are
happy, however, that the arduous labors
OF the members are about terminated

If this revolution runs its career without
killing off the demagogues and old polit-
ical hacks, the bar-room and dollhouse
politicians with hardly talents enough to
chronicle smail-beer, but who some how
or other always manage to get place, one
of the chiefest blessings hoped from its
inauguration will be unattained.

Mr.. VaIIandigham At Enterprise.

There was a large and enthu-
siastio meeting Of the Democracy
held at Enterprise, on the 1st. inst,
to hear the Hon. g. Vallandigham
on the present state of the country.
The Hon. gentleman spoke with his
usual force and patriotic eloquence
and apparently convinced his audi
ence that the only wayto settle the
terrible difficulty in which we now
are, and to preserve the Union, is to
restore the good old Democratic
party to power, and by an homo
rable compromise with the South
guaranteeing equal rights with
the North--put an end to this aw-
full civil war.
The most cheering success is at
tending the Hon. gentleman's pro-
gress through the District. Keep
the ball rolling. The good old

A THREATENING LETTER.

was disgraced on Thursday by the
conduct of some specimens of the
female sex, who dressed up some'
thing, which they vulgarly called
a Paddy, intending thereby to in
suit Mr.. Vallandigham, while some

Che rest, drew his attention to the
scarecrow +; but fearful lest their
conduct would receive the exposure
