NATURALIzATIoN.-We observe that
Senator Browning has introduced a
resolution III the |. S. Senate, instruct
ing the Judiciary Committee to inquire
into the cxpediency of so amending
the naturalization laws, as to confer
rights of citizenship on foreigners who
may serve i'll the present war. Such
measure would be a just tribute to
those adopted citizens who have so
earnestly enlisted to put down the re-
bcllion. We trust that some mark of
appreciation may be manifested by the
present Congress, to the gallant SOL
dicrs of foreign birth.

TIKI New SECRETARY OF WAR;
The Washington correspondent Of the
Evening Post says that Mr.. Stanton,
the new Secretary of War, is an anti
slavery democrat, or rather war
democrat, Of the school of Dickinson
and Cochranc. lie believes most fully
i'll the propriety of using the institution
Of slavery as a means to strike down
the great rebellion. lie fully APPROX

port, and is more heartily hated to-day

WHAT CONGRESS IS DoING.-A few
days since, Senator Fessenden, Chair
man Of the Finance Committee IN the
Senate, took occasion to reply to the
newspaper cry that Congress is vast
ing its time in agitating "thc negro
question" when it should be consider
ing the finances of the country. He
declared, what every sensible person
here has long known that Mr.. Chase,
the Finance Committees of Doth bran
ches Of Congress, and the financial
committees sent on here from the great
cities, have been and now are at work
night and day upon Note bills, Tax
bills, Tariff bills, and some measure of
general banking. Meetings to consid-
er these subjects take place in the
morning and evening, regularly, and
the night session often runs into the
morning. 1t cannot be justly said, I'M
der these circumstances, that Congress
is neglecting tie financial interests OF
the country, to consider the question
of slavery.
