SCENE IN THE REBEL CONGRESS-
In the Confederate Congress, Dec. 9Th,
Mr.. Foote expressed great indignation
at the course pursued by jeff. Davis.
When Pemberton dishonorably surren-
dered ,Vicksburg to the enemy, the
President made him his companion and
carried him to Bragg's army, where, as
he rode, the soldiers were heard to say,
There goes the traitor who delivered
us over at Vicksburg."
The President never visited the ar

vas instrumental in the Gettysburg af.
fair; he instructed Bragg at Murfrees-
boro; he had opened Georgia to $4,000
of the enemy's troops and laid South
Carolina liable to destruction. Hecharg-
ed Davis with having almost ruined the
country and declared that he would meet
his champion, anywhere to discuss it.
Would to God he would never visit the
army againl.

The Soldiers Home.

The citizens Of Chicago are moving
IN the matter Of establishing a home for
disabled soldiers. This effort is die
tated by humanity and gratitude for the
noble and patriotic Of the land who have
risled their lives in battle for the per
petuity Of our glorious country. Let all
our citizens feel it a duty to add their
mite to swell the fund thus attempted to
be raised.
tits generally known that the original
draft of the Presidents Emancipation
Proclamation, through the generosity OF
Thomas B. Bryan, Esq, is the property
Of the disabled soldiers Of the Union
Army, to be held in trust for the benefit
by the Soldiers Home of Chicago. This
document, destined to live on the pages
of history when generations yet unborn
have passed away, and to be referred to
by the historian as the great instrument
by which that foul blot on our national
cscutcheon, human slavery, was oblite-
rated, is regarded by us as of immense
present and prospective value. In order
that the disabled soldiers may more
fully realize that value, we have resolved
to adopt the plan suggested by the
donor ofthe original document, in afford
ing every loyal citizen Of the North an
opportunity to subscribe towards its
purchase from the soldiers, the sun OF
one dollar, to create a fund for the cree
tiCn and maintenance of permanent
home for disabled soldiers. The fund
thus produced will, we trust, prove
sufficient to carry out the design to the
extent required, and benefit the noble
and patriotic recipients Of your bounty.
The original document thus to become
the corner stone or founeatlon Of the
Soldiers Home, will be sacredly pre-
served in the same, and may thus prove
a source Of permanent revenue to the
soldiers. Is any appeal necessary to
your humanity or your Christian sym
pathy /? We trust not. We believe
that all who love their country and its
glorious institutions will gladly con-
tribute the single dollar that is neces-
sary to shelter, support and smooth the
passage to the grave, of the Scared and
disabled veterans who have been cur de-
tenders and the restorcrs of our great
and beloved Union.
The plan adopted in Chicago, was to
divide the city into Districts, assigning
a lady solicitor to each District, so that
every citizen may be applied to for the
small subscription desired. A like plan
is recommended for other cities, towns
etc.

The South and Ell Dorado.

Read what correspondent from New
Orleans says of the Southern Country
as the home Of the Northern man after
the close of the war:
When this war ceases, there will be no
such country for Northern men of en-
terprise to locate in as this. Let them
at once divest themselves Of the idea
that they cannot live in any Southern
State. [ except the Yazoo country
always in any remarks about climate
But for the balance, as far as | have
seen or can hear, it is quite as healthy
for us as the Southener, while the
avenues Of wealth lie wide open. Ten
acres Of cotton will be worth more clear
profit than our largest farms, while
sugar generally yields 2,4oO lbs, or say
$240, per acre average, and it is not
much more costly to raise than corn, and
there are plenty of mills to work it up,
or they can be imported. flour people
are wise, the conclusion Of peace will be
the signal for vast emigration South:
and there is scarce limit to the chances
Men-ideas -loyalty-are needed here.
All else is ready. The golden West
offers no such inviting field as the
sunny South. With such an emni-
grafton and ten years Of peace. and the
''oldest inhabitant'' here won't know

will all be cut up into smaller tracts, and
each will be made to produce its full
In hundred years the popu-
lation here will be as dense as in China,
for there is no limit to profitable pro
duction. It is the true Ell Dorado Of
the times.

REBEL TREArMur.-Thoro Is but one opin.
ion with regard to the treatment our woun.
ded received in Charleston. Il was cruel,
shameful, barbarous. The slightest sun.shot
wound. which our army surgeons would bave
soon healed, Immediately suggested TO these
professional butchers tho knife, the saw, am
putation, and, in this climate. death. An
opportunity to mutilato the body by ampu.
tation was seized upon, and after tho opera.
tion was performed. tho surgeons seemed pro-
foundly Indifferent whether spark OF life
remained or not. This shameful treatment
was not confined to the severely wounded, but
to nearly nll who wero 20 unfortunate as to
fall into their hands. Tho officers and sol.
dicrs had not single change Of clothing.
and In many instances not even their wounds
dressed, until they reached the dock Of tho
hospital ship. The Sisters Of Mercy offered
their services, but were not allowed to enter
the wards Of tho hospital. The Rebels say
that they buried $50 Union dead. II truo, Q
largo proportion Of them wero murdered
after the battle. since no such enormous pro.
portions OF killed was ever known. Nons
