new Jersey Legislature nesolvlng.

TRENTON, Feb. lin the senate to-day
resolutions were offered, accompanied by a
remonstrance from Bergen county, against
Holsman's ''peace" resolutions. The resou-
tons aver that propositions for peace should
come from the rebels, oppose a cessation OF
hostilities till the rebels lay down their
arms, state that the nearest way to honorable
peace is a vigorous prosecution of the war.
Another series was offered strongly in sup
port of the administration in all its measures
to crush the rebellion; opposing all propo-
sitions for peace or compromise till the
rebels lay down their arms
Another series was offered appointing Theo
Runyon, Jacob r. Wortendyke, Abraham
Browning, Henry w. Green, John S. Darcy,
and M. Rgelow, commissioners to proceed
to Richmond to ascertain whether the states
in arms against the federal government will
consent to reaffirm their adhesion to the
Union and to recognize the authority of the
constitution; and if not, asking on what terms
amicable relations under one federal govern
ment can be restored; inviting the cO-opera-
ton of sister states, and requesting the presi-
dent to furnish the commissioners with the
necessary safe guards to enable them to pro-
coed in security.
Another series was offered opposing the
doctrine of secession, and appointing generals
Scott and Burnside, and chancellor Gree of
the state of New Jersey, commissioners to
proceed to Washington and urge upon the
president sleepless vigilance and determina-
ton to crush out the rebellion, and, if need
be, to call upon the people to come to the res
cue of our imperilled and suffering nation.
The resolutions were all referred to the COM
mttee on federal relations.

Another Prize Brought in-The Pirate
Florida.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE British bark
Springbok, from London for Nassau, arrived
this evening, in charge of prize crew of the
U. S. gunboat Sonoma. She was captured
Feb. 3D., off Bahamas, in consequence Of hav-
ing some articles on her manifest which the
captain could not account for.
Officers from the Sonoma report when off
Bahamas LIST, saw steamer to windward ly-
ing too, apparently waiting for her to come
up. She proved to be the pirate Florida. As
soon as she made out what the Sonoma was,
she turned tail. The Sonoma chased her
thirty-six hours, but by superior speed the
pirate was enabled to outrun her. The
schooner Antelope, from Nassau Jan. 81, re-
ports that the pirate Florida arrived there on
the 30th. recruited, and sailed on the evening
of the 31st. She had not made any new
prizes since operating off Cardenas. No
American war vessels were at or near Nassau.

CAIRO, ILL, Feb. 1.-THE rebel colonel
Cushman was arrested on Friday, at his resi-
dence near Ripley, Tennessee, and brought to
Columbus yesterday, in irons. Cushman has
burned more cotton, perhaps, than any other
man in the confederacy He has acted
throughout without a commission from the
rebel government.
Vicksburg letters say that the brilliant
achievement of the Queen in running the
gauntlet of the rebel batteries has mad most
beneficial effect on the spirits of our troops
before Vicksburg. A correspondent of the
Jackson Appeal says that it is possible that
Gen. Grant will make the canal success,
and suggests that Grand Gulf, Port Gibson,
and other points between Vicksburg and Port
Hudson, be fortified.

Your obedient servant, III. II. BELL.
Lieut. Reed, of the u. S. gunboat New
London in the dispatch referred to in Farra-
quits report, says he was ordered, in company
with the gunboat Cayuga, to proceed to Sa-
bne Pass, to the relief of the Morning Light,
Rachel, Seaman, and Velocity, blockading
there, reported captured there by the rebels.
At y NJ. on the 23d of January, he discovered
the Morning Light. A steamer was just leay-
ing her, and in few moments the former was
discovered to be on fire. The Cayuga was
ordered forward, but it was not posi-
BILE to save her. The fire was start
ed in the after part of the ship. The
enemy towed her INTO ten feet of water,
perhaps with the hope of getting her over
the bar into the pass, Four of, her guns
were discharged by the heat, three on the
port side and one on the starboard side.
The latter had fallen into the hold and the
shot came out Tust above her copper, one
boat being near at the time two of her shell
exploded. The enemy had undoubtedly re-
moved the powder from the magazine, as
no explosion took place, except the guns and
shell. 1t is thought the enemy did not get
any of the guns of the Morning Light

conduct of the war, is prosecuting with vigor
and effect the inquiry into the insubordinate
influences which persuaded from the presi-
dent countermand of General Burnsides
