The legislature.


We are compelled, by the pressure on our COL
umns, to omit Saturdays proceedings
The Senate, on Monday, agreed to the PROPOSE
ton of the House to adjourn on Wednesday morn
ing. 1t is doubtful, however, whether the two
Houses can adjourn by that time, on account of the
disagreement between them in relation to an impor-
tant feature in the revenue law. The Senate insists
that the Legislature shall value the slaves of the
State for taxation, and the House Insists that the
Counties shall value them, make return thereof to
the Comptroller, and that an average value shall
thus be established throughout the State The
House plan is, in our judgment, preferable to the
Senate plan We believe that decided majority Of
members are in favor of an ad ralorem tax on all
property, with certain amount exempted; and We
should not be surprised if this system should be
adopted Such system is both simple and just
Some Ru1tering has been occasoned in certain
quarters by the report Of Mr.. McAden from the conf
mittee appointed to investigate the sale of certain
bonds by Mr.. Treasurer Courts A minority report
was submitted by Mr. Foy. We shall publish all
the documents on the subject as soon We can find
space for them.
On Monday, on motion Of Mr.. Grissom, message
was sent to the Senate proposing to raise CON-
nIttee of three on the part of the House, and two
on the part of the Senate to investigate the condi-
ton of the oceof Secretary State at the time Mr..
Page retired from it.

SHoBER, ESQ:
e DEAR SIR:-I have regretted to see that the mis-
apfrehensons Of writer in the Salem Press. caused
IN erroneous Impression in regard to your remarks
On the bill providing for the appointment of q
treasurer Of the Literary Fund. The subject was
hmt brought to my notice by your explanation,
made in the House of Commons on the 9th Of JAN
nary, and take pleasure in Offering, without solicit
Sation from any one, my testimony as to the cor
rectness of the facts stated by you and by Gov.
Vance in his note to you
A movement in favor of a Treasurer of the Lltesa-
y Fund did not originate in any supposed mscon-
duct of any individual-and the difficulties to which
you referred when explaining the necessity for the
bill above alluded to, chargeable to system,
and not to those connected with it As far as
Know, there not the least intention Of rejecting
on MIR. Courts, or on any former Treasurer of the
State on the part Of any of those who believed that
it was important to have Treasurer Of the Literary
Fund distinct from the Treasurer of the State and
as the organ of the committee on Education, you
ptked facts which indicated the necessity of having
-sele one specially charged with important duties
sssntial to the interests Of the Public School Fund
aaAhviSch. under existing laws, IRE not required of
5 the Ststs Treasurer, and which cannot be conve.
-niently performed by the Literary Board.
With much respect -
- / am truly yours,
- G. H. WILEY.

Since thelate severe weather every thing has re-
manned quiet on our lines.
The attack of our vessels upon the biockaders at
Charleston not to have been serious to the
enemy as reported It appears that no Yankee YES
sel was sunk, but the Mercidita, Quaker City and
Keystone State were all badly damaged and the
whole aeet badly scared. Several were killed and
wounded on all three of these vessels. 1t is also
admitted that the iron-clad Montauk was also dam
aged. The impression nov prevails that Savannah
will be first attacked
The stfair produced much excitement at New
York Four new ironclads were to be dispatched
Mt once to the coast of South Carolina. The YAM
KEGS of course, do not admit that the blockade was
broken, but fears are evidently entertained that
foreign powers will so regard il.
The Yankees Claim that Gen. Forrest has been
repulsed in the attack upon Fort Donelson.
Ex- Gov. Morgan, of New York has been elected
to the q. S Senate.
1t is said that the Kentucky Legislature has in
structed the Kentucky troops not to enforce the
emancipation proclamation of Lincoln.
Banks army in Louisiana is said to be democrat
lied, and many are deserving. The Vicksburg cana
is admitted by the Yankees to be failure.

Confederate Congress.

The bill to organize the Supreme Court, and the
Exemption Bill were still under discussion in that
body.
On the 9Th, Mr.. H. V. johnson, of Ga, intro
duced bill proposing an amendment Of the Con-
stitution of the Confederate States that whenever
State shall be agsreved by any act of Congress- and
shall by Convention declare the same to be uncon-
stitutional Congress shall Immediately call Con-
venton Of the States to consider said act and if not
affirmed by two thirds of said Convention, the vote
to be taken by States, it shall be void, and no law;
but, if affirmed it shall stand; and if affirmed and
no adjustment can be made by amendment or 9TH
erwise, satisfactory to the complaining State it de-
termne to secede from the Confederacy, it shall do
SO in peace-but shall be entitled to its pro rata
share of the public property and liable for its pro
rata share of the public debt to be determined and
settled by negotiation This bill will of course test
fully the principles Of the advocates Of the right Of
peaceable secession and will fix the matter beyond
question.
Several important resolutions were introduced in
the House by Mr.. Smith, of this State, on the 9Th
sae instructing the committee of ways and means
to inquire the expediency Of providing by law
for the auditing and payment Of claims for cotton,
and other property destroyed by the military au.
