ton, in the year 1862. wherein he declares
that on the first day of January, 1868, all
persons held as slaves within any State OF
designated part Of State, whereof the
people shall be in rebellion against the Uni
ted States. shall be henceforth and forever
free. is leveled against the citizens of the
Confederate States, and as such, is a gross
violation of the usages Of civilized warfare
an outrage on the rights of private property
and an invitation to an atrocious servile war
and therefore should be held Up to the exc
crations Of mankind. and counteracted by
snch severe retalatory measures as in the
jud gment of the President may be best cal
culated to secure its withdrawal or arrest its
execution.
Mr.. Clark. of Missouri. moved that tb G
resolution be referred to the Comm ttee on
Foreign Affairs. He was in favor Of declar-
ihS CSCiy S'tiLCu VI tuo
acy a soldier authorized to put to death
every man caught upon our soil in arms
against the government.
Mr.. Semmes, of Louisiana, said the reso-
luton had not been drawn up without re-
Election. The question of retaliation was
exclusively an Executive one-to be regu-
lated by circumstances; but it was pro per
that the legislative department of the Gov
ernmert should express its approval of tn
retaliation contemplated by the resolution
Mr. Henry, Of Tennessee, said the reso-
luton did not go far enough. He favored
the passage Of a law providing that, upon
any attempt being made TO execute the
proclamation Of Abraham Lincoln we i'm
m ediately hoist the black flag and proclaim
war Of determination against all invaders
of our soil.
Mr.. Phelan, Of Mississippi, said he had
always been in favor of conducting the war
under the black flag. If that flag had been
raised at Manassas a year ago, the war
would be over now.
Mr.. Y ancey, Of Alabama. moved pend
ing resolution, with the resolutions su bmit-
ted by him some time since, relative to re-
taliation, &c. be referred to select commit
tee Of three. and be made the special order

Beauregard, on the oath of September.
officially announced his assumption of the
command of the Department of South Car
DINA and Georgia. He says:
"In entering upon my duties, which may
involve at an early day the defense of two of
the most important cities in the Confeder-
ate States against most formidable efforts of
our powerful enemy, shall rely on ardent
patriotism. intelligence and unconquerable
spirit of officers and men under my COM
mand. To sustain successfully, but to
IN aintain our forts with credit to our coun-
try and our own honor and avoid Tired eem =
able disaster. it is essential that all should
give implicit obedience to aay orders ema-
mating from superiors in authority"
The Richmond Wing says the entire reb-
ell losses in the Manassas battles do not ex-
coed five thousand and the losses in the
engagements in Maryland range between
FIVE and seven thousand. Beyond a doubt
our losses are less by one fourth than those
of the enemy,
