VOTES ON TaRE WAR

Last Thursday, in the House, Smith, of
Kentucky, submitted a couple of resolutions
referring to the war, the first of which was as
follows:
ReSO50ed, That as our country and the very
existence Of the best government ever institu-
ted by man, is imperilled by the most cause
less and wicked rebellion that the world has
seen, and believing as we do that the only
hope of saving the country and preserving
this government is by the power of the sword,
we are for the most vigorous prosecution of
the war until the constitution and Avs shall be
enforced and obeyed in all parts Of the United
States, and to that end we oppose an armis-
tice, or intervention, or mediation, or propo-
sitions for peace from any quarter, 50 long as
there shall be found a rebel in arms against
the Government and we ignore all party
names, lines and issues, and recognize but
two parties i'll this war-patriots and trait
OrS.
Cravens (dem) of Indiana, moved to lay
the resolution on the table. Lost, 60 to 100.
The resolution then passed by a vote of SO
yeas to 81 nays. Ofthe Wisconsin members,
the republicans were all present and voted
for the resolution. Of the democrats, Brown
did not appear to have voted, and Wheeler
and EIdridge voted against it.
The second resolution was as follows
ResoJUed, That we hold it to be the duty Of
Congress to pass all necessary bills to supply
men and money, and the duty of the people
to render every aid in their power to the con-
stituted authorities of the government in
crushing out the rebellion.
This was agreed to by 1872 yeas and l nay
B. G. Harris, Of Maryland.
A resolution of thanks to the soldiers re-
ceived a Unanimous vote, with the exception
of Harris, of Maryland.

INCREASE o F SOLDIERS PAY.-All sorts Of
propositions are before Congress for increasing
the pay of private soldiers to sixteen dollars
a month, and fifteen dollars a month, and
twenty-five dollars a month, are already
thrown upon Congress, and now a proposition
is said to be coming to raise the pay of off
GERS twenty per cent. Petitions also come in
rapidly for increase of pay to certain classes
of soldiers. If any increase is made it will
be uniform. 1t is understood the military
committees have decided that much, and fur
ther, that they are decidedly favorable to some
increase.

ROBERT SMALL, the brave negro who seized
a steam transport in Charleston Harbor last
year, and escaped with it, has recently been
promoted to the Captaincy of the steamer in
question. A white man was formerly in COM
mand of her, but, a few weeks since, he was
removed for refusing to go with the vessel
where she would come under fire. ROBERT
SMALL took her and performed the needed
service.

CAIRO, Dec. ", 1898,
BY favor of the Capt. Of the steamer Belle
Memphis, | have a copy Of the Evening Mem
phis BHHetia of the 18th inst. From it | learn
that a movement for reconstruction under
the provision of the Presidents late Procla-
nation, will be inaugurated Immediately and
the prospect is that the event will not be long
in eliminating. The Proclamation says that
whenever in any State in a condition Of in
surrection, d number Of persons, numbering
not less than one-teuth the number Of votes
cast at the Presidential election of 1860, hav-
ing taken the prescribed oath, and being quail
fed voters at the time of secession, shall re
establish a State Government, such Govern
ment, shall be duly recognized as the true
Government of the State. In 1860 the popu-
lation Of Tennessee was one million enc hun
bred aud eight thousand eight hundred aud
one; total vote for President that year in the
State was one hundred and forty-fve thous-
and three HUNDRED and eighty-three. Hence
fourteen thousand five hundred and thirty
eight Of these voters have it in their power to
reconstruct the State of Tennessee. The
Bufjetin pertinentIy asks, Can amy one doubt
that it will be done? East Tennessee can do
the business herself, and shall Memphis allow
any other portion Of the State to take the
lead in the matter?

to arrest the prisoners, under a warrant, they
were seized and held by prominent citizens,

finally succeeded in getting the pirates off in
a small boat, which forthwith moved down

impossible to say. The pirates now are
all at liberty, scattered throughout the prov

TasE WEEEGK OF TIE az ga VI Z az
BIRD.

During the tremendous storm of wind and
snow that swept over this region of country,
on Wednesday afternoon and night of last
week, the steamer Sea Bird was out on her
trip from Manitowoc to Milwaukee. She
weathered the terrible storm nobly for some
time, but was finally driven ashore a few
miles north Of the latter place. There were
some twenty :sspaosengers OH board, but no
casualties occurred. The steamer was bat
slightly damaged, and it is thought she will
be got of without serious injury. The pas
sengers were taken off on Thursday morn
ing.
We take the following account from the
Milwaukee NevS.
After passing Port Washington the sea be-
gan to make breaches over the main deck,
striking terror to the hearts of the passengers.
and causing some anxiety on the part of the
officers aud crew. This was about half past
six, and the sea was frequently dashing clear
over the upper works, and completely delug-
ing the main deck. About a half an hours
run was made towards shore, and the officers
gaZed out into the darkness, with faint hopes
of seeing a light, but in vain-they could
not make the light at the mouth of the har-
Dor, or at Ghe North Point. One more effort
is decided upon, the noble steamer obeys her
helm, and her prov points seward. Her en-
gines are now crowded to their utmost capac-
ity, andgshe is kept head to theSwind for an
other hour, but all in vain. The waves were
rolling mountain high, crushing in the bull
warks, sweeping the decks, and at times fair
ly lifting the huge mass into the air, the next
moment to bury it beneath the boiling wa
ters. This was about half-past seven, and
Capt. Pabst, finding the water was making
in the hold, and but little hope remained of
saving his staunch and noble steamer, turned
her head once more towards the shore. A
run Of about a half hour brought her near
North Point, and as she neared shoal water,
the breakers swept over and around her with
tremendous force, and she became unmanage-
able, swinging around into the troughs of the
sea and shortly after drifting on the beach as
we have before described. Some of the pas
sengers were perfectly paralyzed with fear,
while Others made preparations for launch
ing themselves into the water with as many
advantages as possible in case they founder
ed or We're driven on the beach. Fortunate
ly the steamer was so staunchly built as to
hold together, and all on board could remain
with safety until the morning. Tn conduct
OF the officers under the trying circumstances,
reflects great credit upon them, and the pas
sengers are unanimous in their praises of the
captain, clerk, mates and engineers.

Snow N Cold on THE PLAIos. A late
number of the Kansas State Journal says it is
reported that from Selma to Fort Larned the
whole country is covered with snow to the
depth of 10 inches. The coach left Fort
Larned last Sunday morning, and the Santa
Fe mail had not arrived then. The snow is
worse beyond Larned, and as the team driv-
ing out of Larned runs one hundred and fifty
miles without changing, it may be presumed
that the passengers are in a rather undesira-
bic fix. The coach coming in passed through
snow seven and eight feet deep, and all the
r~avines are drifted to a level. The buffalo
will all die off if it does not soon melt away.
We hear that many hunters nave suffered
terribly in consequence-many having their
feet so badly frozen that they may lose them,
while there are others out who have not been
heard from, and fears are entertained for
their safety. Between Lawrence and Salt
Lake City the snow is reported four feet deep
and cattle are dying along the route from cold
and starvation.

ESe1ASp was visited about two weet. 400

ENGLAND was visited about two weeks ago
with a terrific gale, and the disasters there
from were numerous and severe. The loss in
human life, too, it would seem was terrible to
contemplate. In one place, IIolyhead, fifty
six bodies have already foated in, while near,
ly a dozen more could be seen upon the sur
face of the water drifting with the tide tow
ards the shore. These were mostly the bod
les of the crews and officers of the c~oasting
and other vessels which had become unman-
ageable and wrecked during the prevalence
of the gale. One or two American vessels
were among those wrecked and sunk. The
effect of the gale was not only felt at sea, but
all over the country-chiImneys, roofs, trees,
houses, barns, &C., being blown down, fire.
quently attended by loss of life.

kg Everybody is satisfied, The Missouri
radicals have got Rosecrans, who will at once
remove the distractions Schofield has cast in
the way of the complete restoration of the
State to freedom and the Union. Kansas has
received Ill Curtis all energentlc officer who
will look carefully after her affairs, and the
President has set chofield down in Baltimore,
where his love for the peculiar institution and
Copperheadism will harm nobody, for BaIti-
more has changed of late, and Henry Winter
Davis lives about there.
- So
The secret of Morgan's escape is at last
out. We have it in a letter by Governor Tod.
There was a misunderstanding between the
Warden of the Prison and Gen. Martin as to
who should nave the superintendent of the
cells after the third of November. That such
a misunderstanding should be permitted to
exist and remain unadjusted for six weeks,
does not speak well either for the zeal or dis
erection Of the parties. Etiquette is well enough
In its way but when etiquette blocks the
path of duty, it becomes not only contempti-
BILE but criminal.
