The Richmond Wig, OF the 3Oth Sep

upon the subject, in the rebel Senate on
the 29th:
Mr.. SHINES of Louisiana submitted the
following joint resolution
Rcsolc,ed BY the Congress of the Confeder-
ate States. that the proclamation of Abraham
Lincoln, President of the United States of
America. issued at the city of Washington in the
year 1862 wherein he declares that on the first
day of January, 1868, all persons held as slaves
within any State, or designated parts of a State,
whereof the people shall be in rebellion
against the United States, shall be henceforth
and forever free, is leveled against the citizens
of the Confederate States, and as such is gross
violation Of the usages of civilized warfare and
an outrage on the rights of private property,
and an invitation to an atrOciOuS servile war;
1t therefore should be held up to the eXecr,-
ton Of mankind and counteracted by such Sc
we're retaliatOry measures as in the judgment
of the President may be best calculated to Sc
Cure its withdrawal or arrest its execution.
- A.
resolution be referred to the Committee on
Foreign Affairs He was in favor of
declaring every citizen OF the Southern
COnfederacy soldier, authorized to put to
death every man caught upon our soil in
arms against the government.
Mr.. Semmes, of Louisiana, said the res
luton had not been drawn without refec-
ton, the question of retaliation was exclu-
sively an executive one, to be regulated by
circumstances, but it was proper that the
legislative department of the government
should express its approval of the retaia-
ton contemplated by the resolution.
Mr.. Henry, of Tenn, did not go far
enough. He favored the passage of law
providing that upon any attempt being
made to execute the proclamation of Abra-
ham Lincoln, we Immediately hoist the
black flag and proclaim war Of extermi-
nation against all the invaders of our SOIL
Mr.. Phelan, of Miss, said he had al
ways 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.. Yancey, of Alabama, moved the
pending resolution, with the resolutions
submitted by him some time since, rela-
tive to retaliation, etc, be referred to a
special committee Of three, and be made
the special order for Wednesday next.
Mr.. Burnett, of KY, moved that all Of
the said resolutions be referred to the com
mittee on judiciary. Agreed to.
