| the following:
In the rebel Senate, on the 18th ofSeptember
Mr.. Simms, of L0uisana, submitted the foIlwing
IJOnC resolution;
Resotved; by the Congress of the Confederate
States, That the proclamation of Abraham
Lincon President of the United Ststets OF
America, issued at the city OF Washington in
the year 1862, wherein he declares that, on the
/ ST day of January 1868, all persons held as
slaves within any State or designated parts OF
State whereof the people shall be in rebellion
against the Unied States shall be henceorth
and forever free, is levsed against the citizens
of the Confederate States, and, such, is
gross violation of the usages OF civilized warfare
an outrage on the rights Of private property,
and an invitation to an atroclouS serVIle war;
and therefore, should be held up to the execra-
ton of mankind and counteracted by such se~
we're retalitory measures as, in thea judgment OF
the President, may be best calculated to Sc
cure its withdrawal or arrest its execution"
Mr.. Clark of Missouri, moved that The res
oution be referred 10 the committee on For
eign Affairs He was in favor Of declaring
every citizen of the Southern Confederacy a
soldier authorized TO put to death every man
caught upon our soil in arms against the Gov
eminent ~
Mr., Semmes, of La, said the resolution had
not been drawn without reflection. The guess
ton u retaliation was exclusively one to be
regulated by circumstances; out 1t was proper
that the Legislative department Of the Governs
ment should express its aprova OF the retah-
alton contemplated by the reso ntlon
MI Henry, Of Tenn, said the resolution
did rot go far enough. lie favored the passage
ola law providing that upon any attempt
being made to execute the proclamation of
Abraham Lincoln, we Immediately hoist the
black flag and proclaim a war OF extermlnaton
against all invaders of our soil
Mr.. Phean, of Mississippi, said he had all.
ways been in favor of conducting the war nnder
the black flag. If that flag had been raised On
Manassas, a year ago. the war would be over
now.
Mr. .Yancey, Of Alabama; moved that the pen
ding resolution with tia resolutions submitted
by him some since relative TO retaliation. etc,
be referred to a select committee of three
and be made the special order of Wednesday
