IN the Proceedings Of tbe Rsh.,A

Die and resolution .olloWing pream-
-, A copy Of the truly character
-s.lc proclamation Of amnesty, recently Is
sued by the imbecils and unprineipied
usurper who now sits enthroned upon the
ruins Of constitutional liberty in Washing
ton city, has been received and read by
the members Of the House; nov, in token
Of what is solemnly believed to be the al
most undivided sentiment Of the people OF
the Confederate States,
Be il RssoIUs5, That there has never been
q day or an hour when the people Of the
Confederate States were more inHezibly
resolved than they are at the present time
never to reliBquish the struggle Of arms
in which they are engaged, until that lib
erty and Independence for which they
have been SO earnestly contendiDg shall
have been at last achieved, and made sure
aud steadf4st, beyond even the probability
Of q futuUe danger; and that in spite oi
the reverses which have lately befallen
our armies in several quarters, and cold
and selfish Indifference 10 our suffering:
thus far, for the most part, evinoed in tht
action of foreign powers; the eleven mil
lions of enlightened freemen now battling
heroicslly for all that can make existenct
desirable, are fully prepared, alike il
spirits and in resources, to eno.uuter dan
gers far greater than those they have here
tofore bTaVely met, and to submit to fsl
greater sacrifices than those which they
have heretofore so cheerfully encountered
in preference to holding any further pOlit
ical connection with q Government snt
people who have noLoriously proven them
selves oontemptuously regardless of al
the rights and privileges which belong L
a state Of civil freedom, as we'll as of 81
the most sacred usages Of civilized war.
MIR. Miles regretted that the gentleman
from Tennessee had introduced such
resolution. The true and only treatmen
which that miserable and oonIemptibl
despot (Lincoln) should receive st tn
hands of this House was silent and unmiti
gated contempt This resolution woul
appear to dignity psper emanating frou
that wretched and detestsble abortion
whose contemplate emptiness and foil,
would only receive the ridioule of tn
civilized world. He moved to lay the sub
ject on the table.
Mr.. Foote was willing that the presm
bic and resolution should be tabled, wit
the understanding that it would indicst
the unqualified contempt of the House 70
Abraham Lincoln and his Message an
Proclamation alluded TO.

The New York News, which aspirss to
the leadership Of the COpperhesd DemOcra-
cy, Kisses with all its old maligrity. The
inundation, by popular indignation, of its
friends, has net drowned out its Rebellious
spirit. The Daily News Of December 26tb
contains sweet batch of reasonable edi-
torials. Its first article is on, " The Effects
Of the Amnesty on the South" in which 1t
speaks Of the lame rhetoric of an illite-
rate pronunciamentO gOading the South to
madness. 1.-THE Administration from lhe
beginning has been fighting against the
Union aMr. Lincoln is an sreh-trait-
or" nIfhe be permitted by force or fraud
to extend his term Of Office or transfer it
to some other tyrsnt, we may as well re-.
linquish at cuce all hope of friendship
with the South
The next vein of dislOyalty which it
works with an unscrupulous pen, is an
article entitled, " The Second COnscription,
Shall we Have a Third" This is
hypoeriticsl moan about seas Of blood"
"Ths AbOliicnists would rather have
Union drenohed in blood than live in
Union Of brotherly love-"
The next article insidiously ineulcstes
the idea that it may be necessary to resist
by force the next Presidential Election. 1t
trusts that the defenders of the Sacred
Ballot Bot may prove as numerous as its
assailants. The next article treats of the
cause Of the war" Inte'meddling aboli-
tiOnists caused the war" "sovereign
States were invaded by bands Of armed
rufhaRs."
"With q fanaticsl party, SO strong in
numbers, as to coerce more moderate men
10 aid it. and thus rule the largest half of
the States Of the Union; with President
elected on sectional grounds, the deolsrs-
tion that the Union could not exist half
slave and half free yet fresh up6A his lips,
it was no wonder that the Southern mind
was fred and its statesmen deliberately re-
solved to no longer live in Union where
their constitutional rights were openly
violated, their property stolen, and them
aelves treated ss outlaws and felons tc be
shot down and plundered by every mis-
crsant gang that upheld an abolition ban
ner."
With such msudIin nonsense and trea-
sonsble talk, nowhere to be tolerated e1-
cept in this Republic, does the News try to
fan TO new life the flames Of wild fsnati-
cal crusads against the Administration, for
the benefit Of our Southern brethren

tsnt influences at work. Passage money

crowded hives Of Europe Of their best
Workmen.
Immigration is to this country both a
source Of national greatness and danger.
The absorption, and assimilation to Repub-
ioaa ideas, Of SO large body Of men by
this nation, is at once q grand and gigantic
problem. Fleeing as they DO from the re-
strsints Of tyranny in the old world, 1t
would be presumed that they would have
an earnest sympathy with the nortn in its
struggle to establish freedom and broken
nationality. Unfortunately many Of them
get into the hands Of political Philistints
By whom they are carried of into a cruel,
party bondage.
The exodus from Germany has been an
uually increasing since 1916. In 1854 it
reached the large number of 2O3, 5S7. The
home governments have used every obsta-
ole but force TO prevent this wonderful
emigration. Difficulty in getting passes,
offers Of land at home and in the colonial
possessions, attempts to intercept the car
svans Of departing Germans on the Rhine
by sll kinds Of devioes,-all have failed
and Germany yet sends swarms to this
country.
The outbreak of 1847 swelled the num-
Der so, 900 and in case Of another Europe
an war the immigration would be eBor-
nous. In 18 years, 2,7SG,21 emigTants
have come from Great Britain to this eOun-
try. In eight years these penn;less strang-
ers have remitted $40, 4,O0O to ireland
alone.
The grest inducements now held out
will still further swell the tide. One hun
dree and sixty acres Of land for nothing
is no small boon to men who, in Europe,
live constsntly from hand to mouth
These men see that the Republic is vindi-
eating its power and glory and that tie
rebellion is rapidly waning away. Slave

up, the hegirs from Europe to America

The News of Grants Victories in ENGLAND.
The news of General Grants victory
has reached England. and is made the
subject Of various comment in the London
journals. The Morning Star calls the bat
tie "ths Waterloo Of the South" and
adds:
1t is very doubtful whether the diccom-
fitted forces of that unlucky and unpopu-
lar commander Bragg, can be induced to
make another stand. An officer who does
not know what to do with victory when,
by chaDce, he has won it-who loses by
insction those days aud weeks which his
adversary employs in gaining strength
who is obliged to renounce a most advap-
tsgeous position, and yet is unable to re-
tire from il without incHrring total defeat
an officer whose whole career seems to
have been one rather Of terror to his own
soldiers than to the enemy-is not the
man to retrieve so terrible disaster ss
that just sustained.
The Times styles General Grant as the
the most active and successful commander
whom the federals possess, whose presence
has turned the fortunes Of the campaign, u
but comforts its secessionist friends with
sOmo explanations of the cause of Bragg
defeat:
If the southern army has suffered by
| the continuance in command Of an inne
icient general, the Confederate govern.
ment will have supported its nominee at a
very great cost. The southern soldiers are
/ described as demoralized and possessed
by perfect panic, and, though this may
be only the exaggerated style current in
the country, it may well be conceived thai
a retreat under discredited general aftel
disastrous battle is not likely to have
been conducted with the good order which
allows defeats TO be remedied. But, what
ever may be said Of the Confederate com
msnder, or whatever explanation may bt
given OF the details Of the battle, we thinE
the true explanation of the campaign is t.
be found in the weakness Of the southern
army. This has been the fatal disadvsn
tage Of the Confederates all through the
war, and they probably suffer from it nov
more than ever.
The Times. however, remarks in addition
to these explanations:
We have little doubt that the main cause
of the retreat of General Bragg from thC
point where he had done &c much, and wa:
expected to do more, has been the belief
that at present he is not in condition tc
oppose the powerful levies which have
been placed under the command Of Gen.
ersl Grant.
The Morning Herald, the bitter enemy
of our government, is "not without hope
that the disaster to Bragg may not prove
irretrievable," but adds:
Friendly as we are to the Confederate
cause, we are still prepared to look the
very worst in the face, and that worst
something far beyond anything that has
yet befsllen.
The Examiner which has been strongly
secessiOnist, says that the defeat of Bragg
is not decisive, but nearer 10 the decisive
than any reverse of the fortune Of war
that has yet occurred.

Propositions for Recruiting in the SOuIh
4. A. Lawrence and others of Boston
have addressed q memorial to Secretary
Stanton, suggesting that the loyal States
be allowed to recruit whites and negroes
in the reclaimed sections of the South to
fill up their quotas. The following good
reasons are urged for the proposition:
ain the free States the great numbers
already drawn from the workshops and
fields have seriously embarrassed many
branches of industry upon which the pro-
duction of the country depends, and it is
clearly desirable to reduce the call upon
such resources to the lowest point which is
consistent with the vigorous prosecution
of the war. On the other hand there are
large sections Of theeountry where the re-
wards of industry are uncertain, when
large numbers Of men, black and white,
have been thrown out Of their usual oceu-
pstions, and large numbers of those less
able are appealing to the charities Of the
Government and of individuals to save
them from actual destruction by coli and
hunger. Sound political economy, human
ity and common sense equally demand
that every effort should be made to use this
unemployed population as far IS possible
for filing our armies instead of drawing
too largely upon the well-psid and produc,
tive classes OF the loyal States. The pro-
ducing States can well afford to add such
SUMS 10 the pay and bounties offered By
Government as will relieve their citizens
from at least a part Of the new call, and al
the same time confer positive benefit up.
on the loyal and prosecuted people of the
dissfected States from whom no quotas
have been demanded.
"For these and other reasons we ear
nestly recommend that permissions should
be Immediately given to the loyal States to
recruit soldiers (sgainst their quotas) in
those parts Of the rebel States within our
control, both to fill up the white regiments
now there, and to create such black reei-
ments as you may deem it expedient to su-
thorize. We believe that such permission
will encourage recruiting in the loyal
States themselves by the assurance or sue
cess which it will give, and by bringing
forward the many old soldiers who are viii.
ling TO enlist, but who are now waiting for
the moat favorable moment TO do so. We
believe, too, that much Of the very embar-
RAISING demand for charity will be provi-
ded for OUT of the money thus distributed"
