inst, by MIR, Brown of Mississippi
Resolved, That 10 the present condition Of the
country, Congress ought, with the least practi-

country.
2. To repeal all laws authorizing substitutes

A. To detail from those in the military service

When rumorB Of designations on account
Of the Proclamation came from the Army,
the Democratic prints were exceedingly
tenacious Of the right Of the soldiers to
vote, and declared that the army support
ed their views. The Union men have
always been in favor Of securing the right
Of suffrage to the soldiers The Ohio Leg
islature wisely provided that Ohio soldiers
of the proper age and qualifications should
be voters. A similar bill has been intro
duced into the New York and Pennsylvania
Legislatures. In the latter it is supposed
that the Democratic majority in the House
will kill the bill. In the New York As
sem1ly bill was introduced by Judge
Low, Of the Senate, whereupon Governor
Seymour sent to that body a long message
Of opposition to the measure. He attempts
to hide his real design of killing the bill
by advocating another measure, which
cannot go into effect tor two years at least,
having to be submitted to two successive
Legislatures, and then go before the peO-
pie for ratification. He does this under
plea of conformation to the State Consti-
tuition, but his hostility TO giving the SOL
diers this their just right, is apparent
through it all The people of the North,
and especially the soldiers and their
friends, will take notice of this hostility
to their interests as manifested by the
Copperheads.

Fox's Book of Martyrs does not con-
tain more horrible succession Of outra-
geous tOrtures than will the true history
of the East Tennessee victims, if they are
ever published. Parson BrOwnlow tells
but half the fearful truth, as to the atrOc-
tiles committed by the rebels. The Lex
ington, (Ky.) Observer says that refugees
continue to flock to that city, relating
tales to make the blood boil One of them
stated that just before he left home in JEFF
ferson County, Tennessee, g house was
searched for men, and a young girl
eighteen years Of age, refusing to answer
questions as to the whereabouts Of her
father, brothers, SC. was taken out, strip
PED, and hung up in a tree in order to ex-
tort information from her. She persistent
" refused to answer, and was eventually
cut down and mercifully permitted to
dress herself and again go at large. In
the same vicinity an old womsn-ffty-fve
years Of ags-was treated IN similar
menner. The history of the Spanish In
QUESTION in its palmiest days furnishes no
accounts Of scenes that can suFpass in at
trocity these doings Of the rebels. God
speed Burnside in his march to the relief of
these persecnted ones.

The cost Of the smallest PARROT gun
7-pOunder-is $500; 2O0-pounders $1,000
each, which is said to be one-tenth the
cost of the Armstrong gun. The charge
Of the powder. is one pound to every ten
of the ball, and the cost of powder and
shell for every discharge is nearly $40.
The weight Of the 20O-poubd Parrot is q
little more than one-half the weight Of the
Columbiad, which carries the 150-pound
solid shot, or the 10-inch shell. The prac-
tiee with these guns is excellent. Exper-
iments are made daily, and with an &C.
curacy most astonishing. The shrek Of
the ball as it flies through the air at a ve-
locity of over 500 miles per hour, is like
that of q railroad train at full speed.

The New Orleans correspondent Of the
New York Times, writing on the 9th in
stant says that city is for the first time
since its capture seriously threatened by
an attack. Our troops $4,000 strong are
now fortifying the approaches which were
entirely neglected for seven months, when
there were only 10000 effective men in the
department. The rebels have at Port Hud-
son $4,000; at Jackson, Mississippi, u =
600; at Atchafalaya, $1,000, and at No
bile, 10000; a total Of $4,000, who could,
by railroad facilities, be concentrated on
New Orleans in twelve hours. 1t is stated
by gentlemen recently from Mobile, that
great preparations aIe making in that city
to attack Ship Island, and that the trans
ports and troops for the purpose are only
awaiting the command to leave. So great
is considered the danger, that the light on
the island has been extinguisbed, by order
Of the United States authorities. The
Lighthouses on Lake Ponohartrain have al
so been eItinguished.

As is said by an exchange, boarding
gold is the worst investment that can be
made. Its utter folly Eis shown by
following calculation made by a con-
temporary, exhibiting the difference
in five years, between boarding gold
and selling it and investing the pro-
ceeds. $1,000 in gold if kept boarded for
forever will be only $1,000. But if this
amount of gold is sold at 80 per cent Nre-
MUM, you will have $500, to invest in
$40 six per cent. bonds. Those will pay
annually $50 in gold, making in five years
$3.50, besides the compound interest; and
at the end Of five years, if then paid, the
holder will receive the S1,5OO in gold
Thus the 81, 900 will produce over $1,000
If not paid off in five years the bonds win
sell at han dsome premium.

ParsOn Brownlow writes from this city
to the New York Times, in reply to slidelrs
denial of Davis reputation, as follows:
al desire to say that Mr.. Slidell has de-
MED for Jefferson Davis what the latter
never dared deny, and never will, over his
own signature. This anxiety to free the
rebel President from the disgraceful charge
Of having been the advocate, if not the
chief, of Mississippi reputation, is intend
ed TO aid the rebel cause in England, and
to help on the so-called Confederate loan. /"
Mr.. Slidell certainly never intended or even
expected this card to appear in the Ameri-
can newspapers. At the State Convention
in Nashville that nominated John Neither
land for Governor, to run upon the Union
ticket against Isham G. Harris, four years
ago, heard Henry Stewart Foote, now a
member Of the rebel Congress, denounce
Jefferson Davis, before as large an audi
ence as could be crowded into the Capitol,
as a Tepuiiator and disaHionist; and he
boasted Of having beaten Davis for Gov
ernor before the real people Of Mississippi
upon these two issues. I was editing a
paper in Tennessee at the time of that con-
test and, as a Union man, exulted over
the race FOote made, and the Disunionists
throughout the South regretted the success
Of Foote. Jefferson Davis and Reuben
Davis were both TepudiatOrs Of the meanest
and deepest die, and no man knew it better
than John Slidell, living in the adjoining
State Of louisiana I am, ETC.,
