One Of the released prisoners, who has
been confined at Richmond seven months,
gives unmistakable evidence Of a strong
Union organization at Richmond The
Union men claim to be 1000 strong, and
say they are eagerly waiting and longing for
an opportunity TO ding out the Stars and
Shipes. Oht of ten fofiacations erected
around Richmond only one IS armed, and
.he city can be easily taken. Desperate
efforts were making 70 get recruits for the
army. The secessionists admit that unless
they could secure the service Of every male
Virginian between ls and 60 years Of age,
they must yield within thilty days.
The Unionists have leagues regularly Or
ganised, with signs and passwords. Many
acts of kindness we're shown at every posi-
bic opportunity 70 the prisoners.

regiments were daily arriving at Rici nond,
and that the Tenneseans were going o Ten.

LEE Us e1LkHRkTE. - To-day brings with
it reoOllections glorious and inspitlng-such
a. none Of US would have blOtted from our
memory. We remember that one hundred
and thirty yeArS age Chis day, George Wtsh
ingtoa was bern unto America, and The i'm
agination Is carried 70 that scene where lay
the infant form, already hallowed as the
Saviour Of his country. We insoluntarily
follow his history from this day to his grave,
and Is We pr6cssd step By step, new emotions
Of love and patriotism multiply until We
stand over the marble that covers his mortal
parts and render homage even 10 The dust Of
his bones. Theirs can be nothing wrong in this
reverence 10 the memory Of q man who, BY
his deeds and bis precepts, placed his coun-
try in proud position among ths nations
Of the earth, barring his breast unhesitating-
y to every vioiaSituds, and asking in return
only the love Of his counlrymen. Il is meet,
too, in this hour Of our oountry's trouble,
that the name Of Washington shSuid Be her
aided through every street that his pre-
cepss, and most Of all that cfowninE glory
Of his life, his Farewell Address 10 his ceun-
trymen, should be read from the house-tops,
that hearing, We ''msy take beart again. %
Moreover, it comes most Opportanely upon
our great victories over treason, and may
thus be rendered twice sacred as day Of
rejoicing. Let US, then, enter into the spirit
Of the occasion with all our hearts, and de-
vote to its observance whatever we csn.--
Owing 70 the short time that the celebration
has been under advisament, but few arrange.
msnts have been made for display. The
citizens are invited TO be present ct the stOn,
Church at IL O'Clock, where suitable reli-
gious services will be held, and WazhingtOn'l
Farewell Address read, to conclude with tn,
National Anthem. CleEgYmen of all de-
nominations are invited 10 be present. The
OityCouncil win be present.
It is designed that the illumination shall
begin ct precisely z o'clock, and cOntinus
until 8, and It is hoped that it wiz be gen
eral, and a. simultaneous as possible
throughout the city. Let there be no win
dow without q candle.

CONGRESSIONAL 3
MAahIEaToa, Feb. 81.



The Homestead Bill, reported from the
COMMITTEES on Public Lands, coming up, the
question pending being to re-commit the
same with instructions to report, instead, the
Bounty Land Warrant bill.
Mr.. GroW called Nr. Washburn 70 the
Chair, and taking the aoor, spoke against
the motion. Five times within the last ten
years the House had passed q bill similar to
this, and by two-thisds votes, when the par
ties we're nearly balanced on nearly every
other question. Bills, too, Of like charac-
ts. had passed the Senate. BE answered the
objection that the public lands ahould be re-
lained as . source OF revenue.
Mr.. Grow argued in faVor Of giving
homesteads 70 actual settlers.
SpecuIatOrs should no longer be permitted
to intervene between the Government and
,tual tillers Of the soil. These who had
aocked TO the standard Of the country are
deserving Of more substantial reward than
tears for the dead and thanks 70 the living.
He earnestly appealed TO the House TO pass
the bill and consecrate the public land for
homes to actual settlers who prospered in life
that they may be enabled TO develop . high.
er, better, and nobler civilization.
