X. +. PATTERSON, A. A. g..
This announcement of the sudden and
melancholy death of Col. Worthington
came like thunder bolt upon our COM
muniiy, and filled all hearts with saduess.
No one can tell the grief and agony of his
wife and children 50 suddenly and fear
fully bereaved, though all hearts give
them their deepest and sincerest sympa-
thy.
Col. Worthington was the Colonel of
the Fifth Iowa Regiment, and Tor some
time past had been acting u Brigsdisr
General in Gen. Pope's Division. His reei-
ment was organized 10 Burlington in July
LAST, aud from thence, passing through
kcokuk and st. Louis, was ordered to
Boonsille, No, in -hich neighborhood it
remained for several months. From
thence it went with Gen pope's Division
down the Mississippi to New Madrid, and
after the taking Of Island No. 10 vas or
dered up the Tennessee River Colonel
Worthinston proved himself faithful
and efficient officer, performing his duties
ia manner that secured the esteem and
goodwill of his men, and the respect Of
his superiors in Office. He was man of
ardent temperament, and generous and mo-
Bile feelings. Cut off in the very prime
Of manhood, his loss will be severely felt
and sadly mourned.

HousE.-A resolution was debated and
adopted allowing ]. Sterling Morton per
diem, bat moi mileage for the time he was
engaged in contesting the seat of Mr.. Da-
~ as delegate from Nebraska.
The Heu,s resumed considerations Of
the confscation bills.
Mr.. Sheffield argued the FIRST bill was
in effect bill of attainder DC, property
without due process of law; the secopd
bill was for the emancipation Of slaves,
this was in violation Of the solemn pledges
made in July last not to interfere with
the local lpstitutions. Of the States. This
breach of faith could not be justified on
the ground necessity; for strongest neess-
sites of war were shown the country when
We made that pledge the rebellion was to
be put Down BY the army, not BY Legis-
lature. a
Mr.. Sedgwick favored the employment
of slaves to crush rebellion both of loyal
and disloyal masters, compromising those
Of loyal masters and giving freedom ito
those of rebel masters.
Mallory opposed confscation, but fav-
+ored hanging Of traitors; he offered
substitute to punish by fine and imprisen-
ment all persons found guilty of aiding
the enemy.
. Blair favored confscation, urging that
emancipation would accomplish nothing.
He opposed an army Of negroes, but fay
4prad colonising them.
SENATE.--Mr. Sumner called up the
resolution inssrueting the Judiciary Com
mittee 70 inquire what further legislation
is necessary to protect the property and
persons of those Of African descent from
Unconstitutional seizure. He aaid al had
been shocked lately by attempts OF slave
bolders to carry OF human beings into
slavery from the Capital. The provisions
for the return Of fugitives IN the Gonsti-
tuition and in the law Of 1880 say nothing
about the District Of Columbia. The res
olution was adopted.
Dir. Wilson, of Mass, introduced biifft
for reorganization Of the Courts Of the
District Of Columbia. Referred to the
Judiciary Committee.

While Southern money is utterly worth

RSr The money article OF the New Ore

B&S- The money article of the New Or
leans Crescent OF April 28th speaks in
glowing terms of the condition of affairs
generally. News had just been received
that the federal feet had passed the forts
and were on their way to the city, A great
panic prevailed, aud. property was being
destroyed by a furious mob in large guam
titles But the chief cause Of anxiety on
the part of the Crescent was the scarcity of
food. On this subject it remarks: 80
In the mesntims, if we take distant
view 81 the crisis, we may weIp inquire,
/" From whence is our community to obtain
supplies of pr 0Visions and breadstnffs.7 -
Starvation and famine really stare one-half
of our population in the face. We are
blockaded above and below-all round in
fact. The Jackson Railroad Company has
suspended its regular trains; COMMUNICATION
with Red RiVer--from which section sew
Gral boat loads or parts of loads of supplies
were expected, having been purchased by
the Committee of Safety, is debarred by
fear of capture by the invading squadron.
The food question looks dishesrtening un-
less some proTideEiial act turns up our
favor. E
Ii IS du easy matter IOr new OrieanS TO
be furnished with more provisions than
they can consume. All that is necessary
to be done is for the rebels to abandon their
defences on the Mississippi remove all
their distractions and return to their alle-
glance, and a stream Of produce would pour
down the river from the northwest that
would speedily relieve all fears of famine.
Our people are more anxious to send boats
down the river laded with provisions than
they are to send soldiers and munitions of
war. Il is optiOpary with the rebels which
they will have. Our people are determined
the navigation of the Mississippi shall be
unobstracted. Doubtless the rebels on the
river are becoming convinced thst the
Northwest is ia earnest. sts ~
The Governmenthas already dispatched
a large transport vessel with provisions for
the needy, and we presume others viii soon
be loaded and dispatched for the same pur-
pose. The Administration, while il wields
the sword with energy in one hand, pre-
sents the olive branch, ia the other. -tieai

Investment OF nlonmond.



Some months ago u Northern paper sta
ted that it was the purpose of the Yankees
to put into execution Napoleon's tactics
for the reduction of Uln, and reduce Rich
mond without battle. All the avenues
to it were to be occupied, NIL supplies cut
off, 80 that it would be compelled to fall
Without a blow, or if fight took place at
all, on their own terms. In pursuance of
this programme, Burnside was to take pos
session of the North Carolina railroad; the
Peninsula to be strongly occupied; the
RaPPahHnuock to be held in the same way,
Banks to advance up tue Valley and threat
en the Orange railroad, and the canal at
some point above Scottsville, the Cheat
Mountain army to advance upon Rock
bridge and North river aud Lyuchburg.-
These various advances being established
and maintained, the only remaining avenue
would be the Danville road, which, of
course, would speedily follow TIE fate OF
the rest.
This was the substance of the statement.
We are glad to know that our government
is fully advised of it, aud prepared to baf.
fe the designs of the enemy. Especially
with reference to the meditated attacks on
the canal from Stauntou and Ruckbridge,
the amplest preparations have been male.
AT the points threatened by greater force 8
we hope our authorities are equally ready.
The coil of the anaconda must be broken,
and 1t cannot be done too soon.

citizens present to arrest him, and ran in
to the street and seized the hand of the
man who was about to shoot his horse.
Seeing this, the rioter who had been rid

dashing towards General Wise, made cut
at him with his sabre. General Wise caught
the arm OF his assailant just as the blow
was descending. Mr.. George Alichard
