the country three years. and had enlisted for
three years more, and. If that was not long
enough to suodue the rebellion, he was ready

and three rousing cheers by the whole assembly

Col. Edward Phillips, eldest son Of the vener-

Another grievance by which the rebel press
is much exercised, is the recommendation oil
Davis and his War Secretary, that editors
and printers be subject to CONSUMPTION, only
such excepted as are detailed by the military
authorities for newspaper service. foote
introduced resolution in the rebel House,
disappearing the scheme, and denounced 1t
as an attempt to destroy the liberty OF the
press. The resolution was referred 10 the
military committee by vote of % 70 10
which was considered decided rebuke oil
Davis. The Richmond Examiner denouneeS
the scheme as Davis first step toward dc
tatorship: and the Why declares that DAVIS
has already outdone Lincoln in this attempt
TO muzzle the press.
Tie planters are also much exercised oy
the proposition to repeal the provision which
excmpt- a white man from each plantation
that hs. Is slaves. The men who uwn M
negroes clamor against this exemption and
the plantation aristoeracy say it must not be
repealed. B.tween the two there Will be
trouble. whatever the decision may be.
Another element Of trouble is rhc failure
of the confederacy to pay its soldiers Their
monthly wages If SO amount TO next to
nothing in sac deprecated state Of tie cur
reucy. end yet toe pay Of the soldiers is from
y TO is months il arreais, with 10 in-
mediate prospect OF payment.
On the whole, the prospect OF continued
harmony in tie rebel Councils l. not great.

\ BoT CARRIED TO SEA BIZ CUTTLE-FIsH.
A late letter from Cuba contains an ac-
count Of the carrying of OF boy, eight
years old, by a cuttle-hsh. which Is about as
horrId an affair as we have read for some
time Ii seems that several children were
playing near the shore, and coming upon the
cutie fish, few rods from the water, began
to throw sticks and stones at it. The fsh at
once retreated toward the water, the child
following in great glee, and skipping mis-
slles upon the creature, the like Of which
they had never before seen. As soon as the
cuttle-fsh had got to the waters edge it
threw one of Its long arms upon the arm Of
the boy nearest to it, and TO his and his PLAY
fellows horror. began to drag him into
the sea. The poor child struggled to &c.
loose, and screamed agonizingly. and som
of the larger boys rushed to his aid. but to-
late His body was almost instantly drag
ged out OF sight beneath the foam and
from the well known yOracity OF the cutie

wretehed child was speedily devoured

Rebel PerpleNities.

The project OF arming the negroes is tn,
leading topic Of all the rebel papers They
all say with Davis that the lime lor it has
not come, and they al! evidently think with
Despatch earnestly opposing the proposition,
uses this argument, IN which its want oil
confidence in the loyalty of the negroes to
their masters is freely confessed -
- 1t would be powerful stimulant to recruit
ing for the Yankees. There can be no doubt
that a vast number would resort to them who
are restrained at present by the apprehension Of
being forced into the ranks. They stay at home
because they are in no danger. Let them see
that it is dangerous to stay as to 90, and they
Will be pretty certain to 60. For. with the Yam
KEGS they get high bounty for enlisting, and lib
ertY and equality into the bargain Theservices
are set before them which of the two to choose,
aud there will, we fancy, be little hesitation as
to the choice
Another serious objection of the Dispatch
is that it would be surrender of the main
question in controversy:
1--WE give up the whole question when We
adopt this measure. Whatever we may be fight
ing for, the Yankees are fighting for the niger;
that is. to abohtionize the South. We are not
disposed to crafty them If we cen avoid it's
The Wing declares that President Davis
has done great mischief by opening the ques
ton at all, and that if Congress does not
close it up peremptorlly, it may greatly dis
quiet the people and compromise the Confed-
crate cause. 1t is also troubled lest other
nations NAV be led to think the South insin-
cere ip its theory oil slavery, and to conclude
that land theYankees are Homogeneous eo-
pie after all zone in principle or want of prin-
ciplc-all slippery Yankees together"
The Enquirer favors the project of arming
the negroes but objects to paying the masters.
The matter is in discussion in the rebel
Congress. The following is an extract from
a debate on the llth inst
Mr.. Chambers SAID be was ashamed to debate
the question All nature cries out against it.
The negro race was ordained to Slavery by the
Almighty. Emancipation would be the destruct-
ION of our social and political system. God for
bid that this Trojan horse should be introduced
among us. The negro will not fight All history
shows this.
Mr.. Simpson of South Carolina (sotto poee)-
The Yankees make them fight
Mr.. Lester Of Georgis-Not much.
Mr.. Marshall Of Kentucky-FiH them with
sphtskey, and they Will fight.
Mr. Goode of Virginia said he was opposed to
the employment OF negioes as soldiers under any
He was opposed to it because it
was confession Of weakness TO the enemy He
was opposed TO it because he thought it would
end in abolition. he was opposed to it because
it was degrading to cur men. He believed that
