CONFEDERATE CONGRESS.

RICHMOND, Sept. l3, 1S62.-The Confederate
Senate has been engaged for the past week in the
discussion of important subject viz: the 'rcla-
tive powers of the Confederate and State govern
ments The question was introduced the
motion of Mr. Dortch, Of North Carolina to ex-
clude justices of the peace from exemption from
enrolment under the Conscript Act. The pro-
posed amendment it will be observed, raises the
question whether Congress has the power not,
under the Constitution, to exact military service
from the civil officers Of State, and therefore
goes to the very root Of the doctrine Of State
Rights, which since the days of '9S and 90 has
aoitated the country in one form or another, and
was controlling element in the disruption Of the
late Federal Union. The State Rights view Of
the question urged with marked ability by
Messrs. Ballard Preston, Of Va, Yanccy Of Ala
and others, whilst the opposite ground was main
tanned by ''Ben Hill," of Ga; the eagle Orator."
Henry, of Tenn, and other Senators, who argued
that the Constitution vested Congress with the
unlimited power to raise armies, and that ergo,
not only justices Of the peace, but Judges and
governors Of States could be required to perform
military service in the Confederate army. They
did not contend for the exercise Of this power
but argued to show that the power was delegated
by the States, in ratifying the Confederate Con
stitution.
The argument on the other side was that the
ces" and the clause giving Congress the power to
raise armies could not be construed as conferring
upon Congress the power to destroy the
State governments, which wonld be the incvi-
table result of cocrcing its civil officers into the
amy.
There were of course, other points presented 10
the debate, which ! have not time to allulc to.
The question is still pending but the vote will
probably be taken Monday, and will indicate the
State Rights men par erccHencc," and the Fed
crasts, by latitudinous construction. = CorrcS-

WE FEAR that the good name of the people Of
Maryland may suffer some rumerited loss by reason
of the number of scamps going about through the
Confederate States passing themselves off, no doubt
untruly as Maryland refugees former members
of the first Maryland regiment, etc Or if they
are refugees, they are refugees for other causes
than patriotic ones
The fact is, no doubt, that the name of Mary
land refugee, an honored one, has been too often
taken by scamps from all the States north OF Fir-
ginia as afording the most convenient and pIausl-
bic way of accounting for themselves. An in-
stance Of this is afforded in the case of the party
Of one woman and four men who were taken up a
few DAYS since at Kinsville for robbing the hotel
there. They al hailed from Baltimore, although
the Columbia Carolnian says they had most Yam
keeish appearance.

THE YANKEE 200 YEARS AGO.

Washington Irving, in his inimical " Knicker
booker History of New York." has drawn the
Yankee character to perfection Two hundred
years have made but little il any changes in their
character. The historian, speaking of the Man
haitian Yankees, proceeds:
" In truth, they are a wonderful and all prcva
lent people; of that class who only require an inch
to gain ELL a halter to gain horse. fThe
thieves. From the time they first gained loot
hold on plymouth Rock, they began to migrate
from place to place. aud land to land, making a
little here and little there, conlrovcrting the old
prOVerb that a rolling stone gathers no moss?
Hence they faccticusly received the nickname Of
The Pilgrims; that Is to say, people who are
always seeking better country than their own.
William the Testy had adopted currency
about equal in value to Old Abe's) "of strings Of
beads wrought ont Of clans, periwinkles, and
other shell fish, and called scawant or wampum."
The historian proceeds, "And now, for time,
affairs went on swimmngy; money became
plcntifully in the modern days Of paper cur
rency, and to use the popular phrase, "a wonder
fnl impulse given to public prosperity"
Yankee traders poured into the province, buying
everything they could lay their hands Oh just
they do Dowl and paying the worthy Dutchman
their own prcc-in Indian money. IT the later,
however, attempted to pay the Yankees in the
same coin for their tin-ware and wooden bowls, the
case was altered nothing would do but Dutch
guiiders, and such ike metallic currency" What
was worse, the Yankees introduced an Inferior
Kind Of wampum made of oystershells, just as
they counterfeit Confederate notes at this day1
with which they deluged the province, carrying
of in exchange all the silver and gold, the Dutch
behring's and Dutch cheese: thus carly did the
knowing Of the east manifest their skill in
bargaining the New Amsterdammers out Of the
oyster, and leaving them the shell.

woMAS's RIGHTS MEETING.

The following proceedings Of an indignant as.
semblage Of women in our sister town, which
have been reported for publication BY an out
slider, will excite the heartfelt sympathy Of all
true friends Of the weaker SEX We don't know
the bald.headed individual alluded to; but, who.
ever he may be, it is hoped the committee will
not srare him:
At a.meeting Of the Woman's Rights Convcn-
vention, held in the school.h0use, at Olympia, on
the goth day Of March, 1862, the following resO-
lutinns were adopted:
Whereas, That detCstable being called man
has uSurped omnipotent powers and rights; and
whereas he allows no opportunity to pass in
which to brtray his i,iaiignity towards our sex !;
and whereas, this course Of brutal treatment has
been steadily on the increase for snme time in
our midst and has lately eliminated in an assault
upon defenceless woman; therefore be it
Resolved, That We hereby declare our abhor-
renee Of the many smoke-polluted and whisker.
Drained beings cGllsd men. who wait upon the
street corners to stare us ont Of countenance.
Resolved, That the shameless creature who
would maliciously knock down a poor and de-
ienceless woman should. in all justice, be made
10 suffer all the tOrtures Of the ancient inquisition
for all time to come.
Resolved, That a committee Of this convention
do proceed on Monday next to the house Of that
OdiOus, despicable, brutal, suffering, badheaded
villain, who is too detcStable to be named IN
any milder terms-with the necessary tar and
feathers, and that the said committee first strip
him, tie him to stake, and cowhde him to their
hearts conten, apply the tar and feathers, and
then warn him to leave the country.
Resolved, That o committee Of three be ap-
pointed to wait on the editor Of the OreTlGRd

CndCr this head, the San Francisco Herald
0Rd Mirror rebukes the Oregon journalists for
the foul language to which they so commonly re.
sort in their controversies Efforts have hereto
fore been made to shame them out Of practice
SO dscreditable to the profession, but without
avail. Administering rebuke and advice 10 them
this subject is like casting pearls before swine.
The Republican organ Of this Territory belongs
to the same class Of journals. Not liking to be
alone in its filth, it has made repeated attempts
to drag down to its own degraded level two Of
its cotemporaries, but Ssnally failed in both
cases. That these prints may see what Is thought
Of them abroad, We copy from the exchange
above named:
The editorial fraternity Of Oregon must be a
singular race Of beings, having an equally singn.
lar community for readers. In point Of scuTrty
their articles lar exceed anything that We ever
heard Of ia that line No verbiage in the vo-
Cabulary seems too foul or obscene for them to
use. Onc journal, published at Corvallis, de-
nominates 4 rival journalist a "scab." The
other, not To be behindhand, calls his opponent
"thiS leprous wretch, the mercenary tool Of the
Salem IdszGTOni," and other choice SObriqucts,
one half Of which would ensure Q scribblers
death il uttered in California. This hurting Of
lingual epiihets is q disgusting occupation at
best, and he who INDUCES in il must be strangely
Iorgetful Of the duties Of an editor as the nStruc
tor and enlightener Of manKind.
