duced as substitute by Stevens, is
known to have gained more than one
vote over Stevens and Hooper's Bills
namely, that of Stratton, member of the
Ways and Means Committee, who origin
ally agreed to the majority bill The
Democrats say they will vote against it.
All debate is exhausted Secretary
Chase agrees to the Ways and Means
bill as amended in conformity with his
suggestions. This is certain.

THE RICHMOND EXAMINER on THE PROS
PECTS.
The Richmond Eraminer of Jan. Goth
has remarkable article, of which the
following is al. extract:
The truth is, the Yankees are in
great force in the very heart of the Con-
federacy They swarm on all our bor-
ders, and nearly two hundred thousand
of them are within two days march of
the Confederate capital. The Yankees
have much to encourage them in the
prosecution of the war, and we see not a
little to excite serious apprehensions as
to the future. There is limit to the
endurance of the brave men at Tulla-
homa, Grenada, and Vicksburg They
must be sustained, strengthened, and re-
. enforced. If, in the next two months,
we do not add $4,000 to 100000 men to
our forces in the Southwest, we shall
come to grief If we do add them, we
are safe beyond peradventure, and
next summer will witness the final tri-
umph of our arms"
