There is one feature in the imprcs sment
bill which should not escape special atlen-
ton. The protection of the law extends very
properly only to the producer The design
Of this provision is to prevent spectators
from becoming extortioncrs in articles of
neccssity-Such rs provisions for the people
and army. !fmerceuary men will buy up and
hold articles of food on speculation, they arc
not entitled to the protection Of any law.
Merchants, however, who will buy and sell
such things at reasonable profits aud rapid
sale, will meet with no difficulty, as impress
honest dealers. The farmers Of the country
should endCavor to sell as much rs possible
directly to the consumer, so as to prevent the
multiplied profits which accrue upon all ar
ticles which pass through 50 many hands.
This, we are fully aware, cannot always be
done, rs merchants are frequently the neces-
sary medium between the producer and con-
sumer but it can be done in great many
instances, and ought to be done to as great
an extent as possible.-LynchJwg RpnJijcaa.
The New York Argus says it is stated that
every pound of cotton produced by the ne
groes at Beaufort, has cost the Government
$50 per pound. "Thus, everything these
philanthropiSts promised us has flled-eve-
ry effort in the way of war, every enterprise
of peace. The negro was to rush to the res
cue of our arms-but he did not. He was to
sustain and feed our armies but he is a bur-
then on them. He was to supply the north
with free labor cotton lie fails in that. He
is now to be sent to raising corn, as if that
must not still more surely fail

We clip the following tribute, by Surgeon
Phelps, to the ladies of Vermont, from the
Brattleboro Phoenix:
u. S. GENERAL HosAITAL,
Brattleboro, VT, Feb'y %, 1868.
Your response to my calls for aid In behalf
of this Hospital have been answered IN man
ner fully equal to the expectations had formed
and which were founded upon long acqncln-
lance with your character. 1t now becomes
matter of historic interest that such liberal
contributions in money aud clothing have been
furnished with almost surprising alacrity from
all parts of the State, and amongst the many
valuable evidences of the patriotism of the
people of Vermont will be found in the State
Archives, record that the mothers and daugh-
tiers first gave their sons and brothers, ana
then contributed most literally of their goods,
to render them more comfortable not only IN
the field where they were fighting for glorious
cause, but also in this salubrious retreat where
they again can eijoy their own native air, and
secure the benefit of its healing po@er.
This Hospital as it now stands IS itself
monumenteto the Soldier. 1t tells the plain
story, that the people of this State valne his
services. 1t says we do not forget how freely
our sons have shed their blood on Southern
soil to prevent. the aggressions of rising Arls-
tocracy, based upon human slavery. IT says
we remember with pride Warwick Creek, An
tietam, South Mountain, Champions Pass,
Fredercksburgh and the many long MAJ ches,
and days and nights of toll and privations our
soldiers have endured.
We beg to say in conclusion, that before this
stream of benefcence that has been flowing so
steadily for weeks past, and which still flows
in all the silent eloquence of the placid Con-
necticut that gldes beneath our walls, can be
stopped, all our wants will be supplied. What
a record is this-does it not speak volumes IN
your praise Cease then ladies--reserve all
that you can for future calls-they will occur
if the contest continues. Send something to
the Sanitary Commission who have rendered
our soldiers in the field such servce-Remem-
Der that but for them our suffering at Warwick
Creek, Williamsburg and many other places
would have been doubled. But, at the same
time remember there may be another call upon
your henevolence within our own borders.
In my monthly report for February, shall
give you the particulars of this contribution
and its application to the uses for which 1t has
been designed.

Has TO HOLD ITS NosE.-The Northern

the Richmond Enquirer. 1t thus spits upon

If they repudate the debt they have con-

the actors in that affair, yet we snall not be

PASSAGE OF THE INDEMNITY BILL.-The
Washington correspondent of the Tribune thus
describes the passage in the Senate on Tues
day, of the bill ndemnifying the President, &c.
in regard to the suspension of the habeas cor
pus ; to defeat which the Copperheads had been
flIibustering by dilatory motions and speaking
against time.
twas FIVE O'Clock in the morning when
Senator Bayard of Delaware turned off his
flow of Constitutional objections to the passage
of the Indemnity bill, and yielded the floor to
motion to adjourn. Senator Pomeroy IN the
chair, after the vote, announced the motion to
be lost, and, quick as thought, put the bill that
all night long had been under ilibustering drl-
vel, 70 its vote. Quick as thought the Repub-
licans voted aye. The Copperheads, asleep
or muddled, or stunned by surprise, made no
resistance. The passage of the bill was an
nounced by the presiding officer, and immeai-
ately Senator Trumbull ca led up new bill
and the course of legislation flowed right by
the knot of crashing and cursing Democrats
who damned the adrotness Of the Kansas
Senator, and reproached their own stupidity.

CoNGREss.-The thirty-seventh Congress
closed its labors yesterday. A great deal Of
business was crowded into the sessions of the
last few days, and it is too much to suppose it
has all been done in the best Kramer possible.
All the important measures Of the session.
however, have passed in form for the most
part satisfactory to their friends, and the gov
eminent is left with ample authority to raise
men and means to carry on the war. This
was the great object of the Winters Lagisla-
ton and now that it is accomplished we shall
not lament over other things left undone or
done badly, but bid Congress cheerful good
bye, and congratulate the country that the
government is now to be left to devote its
whole energies to the putting down Of the re.
beliion. We shall expect to see more vigol
and unity here aAer.

Rumored Capture of the Alabama.


There IS a rumor afloat that the rebel Ala
bama has been captured, but it cannot be
traced to any reliable foundation.
The Philadelphia Press states that upwards
of one million of dollars has been subscribed in
New York for the new telegraph, and sub
scriptions are about to be received in PhIa-
delphia.
The company is to have a capital of three
millions, and to extend its wires, which are to
be built for cash and in a most substantial
manner, from Halifax via Boston and New
York, to Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
ington, with branches from New York via
Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit and
Chicago to d lwaukee, and from Philadelphia
to Harrisburg, Pittsburg, Columbus, Cincin-
natl and ST. Louis, with lateral branches to
all the chief towns in the Western States.
A number of gentlemen Interested in the
Atlantic Telegraph met at the Chamber Of
Commerce Rooms to-day. Messrs. Cyrus W.
Field, w. E. Dodge, Peter Cooper, E. Gu
nard and A. A. Law made remarks, and a
resolution recommending the public to aid the
undertaking was adopted. A committee was
appointed TO call public meeting.
Mayor O9dyke subscribed 500 pounds
sterling to the fund, and other gentlemen con-
trihuted 200 pounds sterling
Mr.. Field stated that 1875 900 pounds had
been subscribed in England, but it was deter
mined not to commence til 100000 had
been subscribed.

yIoKsBURG.-The New York papers of
yesterday contained late dispatches, received
after our time of going to press, first, through
rebel sources that great battle had been
fought at Vioksburg, with heavy loss on both
sides, but no decisive result second, reports
from Memphis, that the rebels were evacuatIng
yicksburg, and lastly the announcement by
the operator of the Western line, via Buffalo,
that Vicksburg had been evacuated. No par
ticula,s were given, and it is impossible yet to
say what foundation there may be for the re-
ports. Letters received in Washington on
Tuesday, state that the expedition under Gen.
Washburne to open thu Yazoo Pass had been
entirely successful, and promised to furnish
the key to that stronghold; and dispatches
from Cairo of the same date say that the gun
boat Carondeet and five others had reached
the Tallahatchie river by way of the Yazoo.
Vicksburg would thus appear to be closely en-
yironed by our forces, and some color of prob
ability is thereby given TO the reported evac-
uation of that stronghold by the rebels
We hope to receive more definite in
formation, by telegraph, before going to press.
