SOUTHERN NEWS.

In the Confederate House Of Representa-
tives, on Monday last, Mr.. Clopton offered
series Of Joint resolutions relating to the con-
duct of the existing war and the late procla-
nation Of the President of the United States,
The resolutions contemplate the delivery Of
captured Federal officers to the State govern
ments for trial.
lIr. Lyoas, Of Virginia, suggested that the
government had no power to turn these cap
tured officers over TO the States. Nor was
there anv necessity for the resolutions, since
the President has said in his message he will
do it, unless prevented by Congress. He IA
vored the passage of law prohibiting such a
course, and to repose the power OF retaliation
entirely in the hands Of the overnment. He
would prefer that any officer captured in any
State after the PRONUNCIATION Of that proclama-
sion, should be instantly hung; not sub bjeci him
to the uncertainties of trial by jury. The
debate was postponed.
In the Virginia Legislature, last week, Mr.
Douglas, in debate used very severe terms
tthev are not stated) to both James Bar
bour and John B. Floyd, and these gentlemen
feeling themselves insulted, wrote letters to
Mr. Douglas demanding explanation. Mr..
Douglas apoogized to both Of them, explain
inc that he had not intended to assall them
personally.
The Richmond Enquirer, Of January Goth,
says: "A new financial scheme has been pre-
sented by Mr. G. A. Chandler, which proposes
an amendment Of the Constitution, legalizing
the issue Of legal tender notes, to be legal ten
ders during the war and FIVE years thereafter
IIe also proposes the purchase OF the whole
cotton crop Of the Confederate States The
present crop to be purchased at from II to Is
cents per pound.
Judge Holt died in Augusta, Georgia, on
the 14th.
Flour is selling in Cha lesion at $40 per bbl.,
and in Mobile at $50.
George W Randolph is the people candi-
date for the next Governor Of Virginia.
The total amount of cotton purchased by the
government in the State Of Mississippi reaches
about 100. OOO bales, and much more is ID ne
gotiatior.
: letter from Fredericksburg to the Rich
mond Whig, dated the 18th inst, anticipates

states that the citizens Of Frederick sburg are

appeared and took his seat The Military
Committee were instructed to inquire into the
expediency Of having published monthly a list
of officers absent from the army with the date
of absence and name of the officers by whom
the leave of absence was granted. The Com
mittee on Indian Affairs reported substitute
for the House bill granting relief to the citizens
of Minnesota who suffered by the Indian out
break The bill to reimburse the State Of
Minnesota for OUTLAWS incurred in suppressing
the Indian outrages, was passed. The bill to
provide for the better comfort of sick soldiers
was discussed but not acted upon. The House
passed bill to extend the time of the Assist
ant Secretaries Of War, their appointment for
one year being about to expire, and also to
authorize the appointment of an assistant De-
putty Register in the Treasury Department.
The Finance bill was resumed in Committee OF
the Whole. Several amendments were adopt
ed An amendment taxing bank circulation
was rejected after protracted debate. Mr..
Stevens then submitted an amendment taxing
both bank circulation and deposits which was
adopted, yeas SO, nays 46. Without perfect

4 few days since, Mr. Deming, the principal

with the army of the Potomac, passed through
Washington for New York in military custody.
The cause of his arrest is said to have been
some publication made by him, going to show
the disorganization and decentralization Of the
army. We hear further, that Mr. Theodore
Barnard Mr. Deming's principal assistant at
Headquarters there, was also arrested, and sent
away from the camp.

The Victory of Rosecrans.

The victory at Murfreesboro, like the
successes at Iuka and Corinth, proves to
have been more complete, and more dis
astrous to the rebels than first accounts
seemed to indicate. The Richmond papers
contain dispatches from Gen. BRAGG, in
which he acknowledges that he found our
forces too strong for him, and that he was
compelled to fall back to Tallahoma, with
heavy loss. They now concede to us,
as the result of the victory, the possession
of East Tennessee, and say that an army
of 2OO,OO men cannot drive us out. They
claim, however, to have taken 1000 prison.
ers and "a guns, which is not unlike the
admission of our own dispatches. Rose
GRAMS has been strongly reinforced, and it
is reported that he is in pursuit of the
rebels, THOMAS division being in the adj
vance. They will scarcely venture to
make a stand north of Chattanooga

EOundering OF the Monitor

The official report Of the laundering of
the Monitor shows that her loss was attri-
butable to springing large leak about the
line where her armor joined on to her hull,
caused by the weight of her armor and the
strain thus produced upon her woodwork
during the violent pitching of the YES
sci in the heavy sea.
When she rose on the swell the fiat I'M
under service Of her projecting armor
came down with great force on the water
causing a serious shock to the vessel and
turret, and as supposed, increasing the
lead. The pumps were entirely powerless
to keep the water down in the hold, and
it became necessary to transfer the crew
to the ship which had the Monitor in tow.
AS the waves were dashing over her whole
deck this transfer was extremely hazardous,
and it was while attending to this that
most of those who were lost persisted.
The whole official report tends to make
it clearer than ever before that the Mont
tor was wholly unseaworthy.

Expiration Of the Service Of the Two
Years, Men.

Some of the best generals in the Amy
have expressed much solicitude in regard
to the regiments whose two years. term
of service expires next April or May. The
first thirty-eight regiments from the State
ofNew York will go out of service in May,
and among these are some of the best reg
iments in the army 1t is deemed impor-
tant by our best military authorities in the
field that the best material in the rank and
file, and the officers of such regiments
should be induced to remain. Some act
of Congress will be necessary to restore to
the army its best officers and men after
the period of service Of the two years men
has expired. Some of our veteran generals
are pushing this matter upon the attention
of Congress, and some definite plan will be
submitted at an early day.

Awful Brown Defines lsfs Position OF,
the Senatorial Question.

From the Faribault Republican, Jan. !.
& Aside from the interest
felt in this matter, as citizen of the State,
we have taken but little interest in the
fight; neither Of the principals (Aldrich
and Ramsey) are particularly partial to US,
nor are we very sincerely devoted to them,
neither of them are our first choice for the
Senatorshp, both OF them are possessed
Of an inordinate ambition for an Office,
for which neither nature or education has
eminently qualified them; but there is this
difference in the men; while the Colonel's
friends may not all be what everybody
would desire them to be, he always stands
by them, and is true to his friends such as
they are, while Alexander Ramsey never
knew the sensation of the heart produced
by true friendship. Judas valued Christ
by the amount of silver he could obtain
for him, Ramsey estimates friends by their
value to him as stepping stones to elevate
Bluff Aleck to office; consequently if one
of these men must be the next United
States Senator, we hope it will be Al
drich.

Sketch Of General CheatEn am.

General B. T. CHEATHAM, one of the
rebel commanders reported killed at Muir
freesboro, is native Of Robinson county,
Tennessee, and was looked upon as good
type of the Southern officer. He loved
fighting, it is said, as well as whisky-a
sort Of rough and tough customer, who
travelled on his muscle, and delighted in
shocking all the proprieties of civilized life
He is reported to have whipped one man
every week since he entered the service,
and frequently half a dozen. He is the
person who said to his men at Belmont
"Follow me, brave Tennesseeans, and 1
will lead you to victory or to blazes. "
More recently, at Columbus, he is reported
to have offered his discharge, horse and
equipments, to any man who would whip
him in a fair fight. He was well known
horse racer, sporting man and desperado,
but had gained wonderful reputation for
pluck, which he welded to the most in
tense satisfaction Of his followers.
