FoRT HENRY - The loss of Fort Hen
ry, which was captured by the Federals
on the 9th instant, appears to have been
anticipated by the Confederates. The
situation of the Fort it is said, was not
one which rendered it capable of being
long defended against superior force.
1t was built on low ground, near the bank
of the river, which, at this season of the
year, is very high, and was moreover ca
silly commanded by high hill on the OPP
posite bank. Fort Donelson is however
declared to be much stronger work, and
as it commands the Cumberland river and
the approaches to Nashville, its capture
will doubtlessly be holly contested. We
have no news from Grants column which
was reported to have marched across the
peninsula formed by the two rivers, for
the purpose of operating in combined
attack on Fort Donelson. If it was ex-
pected to take the Fort by surprise, thus
far the feat has certainly not been accom-
plished, or we should have heard Of it
before this. 1t is quite possible that a
more accurate knowledge of the means
of defence concentrated BY the Confed-
crates at Fort Donelson may have det-
erred Grant from making his expected
attack.
Later dispatches from Fort Henry re-
present the Federal forces under General
Grant as still encamped in the vicinity
of their late conquest. Fort Henry has
already been abandoned as untenable,
the water of the river having risen and
overhowed the fort. The Federal troops
now occupy an abandoned position on the
opposite bank of the river. Preparations
are said to be making for an advance on
Fort Donelson. One Confederate gun
boat has been deserted and burned by
her crew to prevent her from falling into
the hands of the Federal fotilla.

Action OF the Confederate Congress
In Regard TO Maryland.

The following is the official copy of the
preamble and resolutions which passed
the Confederate Congress in reference tc
Maryland.
WHEREAS, The State Of Maryland has
suffered the same wrong which impelled
these Confederate States to withdraw from
the United States, and intimately associ.
ated with these States by geographical
situation, by mutual interest, by similar
ity of institutions and by enduring senti-
ments Of reciprocal au,ity aud esteem;
and whereas il is believed that large
majority of the good people Of Maryland
earnestly desire to unite their State with
the Confederate States, desire which is
proved TO exist even by the violent, ex-
traordinary and tyrannical measures en-
ployed by our enemy to restrain the ex-
preston thereof; and whereas the Gov
eminent Of the United States, by impris-
oning members Of the Legislature Of Ma
ryland, by establishing powerful armies
Of foreign troops within the State and

GEN. HALLEcK's PoLIcY RECOMMEND
I'D FOR BALTIMORE. The Washington
Chronicle, Black Republican paper, in
recommending Gen. Ialleck's odious
policy for Baltimore, sneeringly remarks:
1.-THE seccssionists in Baltimore, if
we may judge from the local reports and
editorials in the Sun, Clipper and Anne .
rican, are almost as bold and insolent as
ever They forget that the government
they defy, and the troops they insult,
have given them protection from the des-
olating mischiefs that agonize and pros
trate the people of the seeded States.
Why is not Gen Halleck's policy adopt
ed against these ingrates and traitors !?
Why should not the secessionists of Bal
timore be made to contribute to the sup.
port of the thousands Of poor Union men
in that city, whom they delight to ridi-
cule and rcvile."

FRIDAY, :::FEBRUARY IA, 1862.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. The
Senate yesterday passed the ratification
bill, nppropriating $4,000. 900, thus re-
tanning the large items for defenses on
the Northern and Lake coasts. 1t took
up and acted on the $3.50, 900, 900 legal
tender treasury note bill from the House,
adopting all the amendments proposed by
the Senatc's committee Of finance, and
one also offered by Mr.. Sherman, putting
the $4,000, 900 issued under the act Of
July last in with those of the new bill
as a portion thereof. The final vote was
not taken on the bill, but of course that
now is only formality. The amend
ments carry the bill back to the House
They are as follows:
l. The United States notes are de-
clared lawful money aud a legal tender
in payment of all debts, public and pri-
vate, except in payment of interest upon
all stocks and bonds of the government
This must be paid by tie treasury IN gold
and siluer coin.
2. The treasury and sub-treasuries Of
the government are created Offices of de-
post; the aggregate sum of twenty five
millions, five per cent. per annum, being
allowed on all deposits over $500, on at
least thirty days notice
3. The customs, revenues, proceeds of
sales of public lands, and proceeds Of
sales of confscated property are set apart
and specifically pledged, primarily to the
prompt payment in coin of the interest
Of the debt of the United States, and
then to a sinking fund for the liquidation
of the principal, to the extent of an an
nual appropriation of one per cent. on
the whole debt; the interest upon this
fund to be compounded and the accumu-
lation invested regularly through each
fiscal year. Beyond these objects, the
revenues are pledged to 60 into the trea-
sury Tor general objects.
The Senate on yesterday, Thurs
day after long debate, passed the bill
from the House, in an amended form,
authorizing the issue of $3.50, 900, 00O
in treasury notes. The clause making
them legal tender was retained in the
bill, but an amendment was adopted al
lowing them to be funded in two years
bonds, bearing Z $40 per cent. interest.
The bill, of course, goes back to the
House for concurrence.
The bill for the emancipation of slaves
in the District was also reported ycstcr
day from the District committee in the
Senate. 1t provides compensation fol-
loyal owners.

SLAVERY IN THE DISTRICT. The bill
providing for the abolition Of slavery
within the District of Columbia, intro
duced by Senator Wilson, and referred
to the District committee, was intrusted
to Senator Morrill,. who has prepared a
bill which provides for the immediate
emancipation Of all the slaves in the Dis
trict, and for limited compensation to
loyal owners, not to exceed $500 per
slave on the average. The owners must,
within ninety days, file their claims, to-
gcthcr with proofs Of value and of 10y
atty, with commissioners. These are to
report within nine months. They are
authorized to examine the slave as well
as the master, in order TO determine the
lattcr's right to compensation. 1t is be-
lieyed that the bill will commend itself
to majority Of the committee. II is
composed of Messrs. Grimes, Anthony,
Dixon, Morrill,, Wade, Kennedy and
Powell. The number Of slaves now in
the District is about 5000. Probably
more than half belong to masters who
will swear that they are loyal. The total
cost to the nation Of cmancipatiDg cannot
be over 81 900, 900, and may not be
much more than $500, 00.--M~ York
