government of their own, subject to the
supervision Of Congress. If sgreesbls,
Mr.. Lane suggests, al ths oOlored regi-

THE FATE OF BAD MEN.
Oae Of the noticeable features Of The
southern rebellion is the fate Of the
original plOttsrs Of treason, who precipi-
tated civil war upon the country. Wig
fsll, G. o. Clay, Pugh, Curry, IvsrsOn.
Crawford, Keith, Hammond, Gov. Har-
riS, Avery, and their clan, have cessed to
attract public interest, if not public con-
tempt. A new sat of men have been
called into action by the fury which
they inaugurAted, but proved themselves
unable to guide, and they, with their
bluster and braggsdOeio, hsYe gone
glimmering." General TOombs eontin-
ues to be heard from, bat generally un-
der circumstances ealculated to increase
ones contempt for him. His last ehival-
ric exploit was to defy military orders
at Savannah, for which he was put of .
railroad train. For this insult 10 his
royal blood, he harangued . crowd OF
boys and soldiers, who gathered around,
in an excited manner, which secured his
arrest and imprisonment. An old lady,
WHO had quietly watched the whole pro-
cseding, remarked that she had heard
Bob Toombs talk 3 great deal about
drinking the blood Of An the Yankees
sent sgainst the South, and she thought
it likely he could drink all he split him
SELF It's very clear that no one under
stands the character of Bob TOombs
better than that old lady.
ANOTHER RAID.
The latest sensation from the RapidaD
is the statement that from the activity
displayed By the rebel forces, it is an
ticipated by army officers from the front
that the ensuing campaign will be opened
by raid on 3 gigantic scale through
Pennsylvania. This is one of the big
things" which am unable to see for il
occurs to ne that Gen. Lee is too saga
cious man not 10 have learned GONE
thing from Antistam and Gettysburg.
TESNEssEANs n WASHINGTON.
Among the prominent Tennesseans
in Washington during the past week ]
have noticed Gov. johnson, Col. Nelson,
and Col Netherland, all Of East Tennes-
see. The latter is locking somewhat
more thoughtful than when last saw
him 'on the circuit" whers be enjoyed
an enyiable reputation as ''story-telIer,"
and clever gentleman.
TIE EEROLLNEET BILL.
The House and Senate dissgreeiDg 10
each others amendments to the Enroll
ment Bill, committee Of conference
was had and . compromise has been
agreed upon.
The $500 clause is retained with the
prOvisO chat the person paying it shall
only be exempt from drsft one year.
The only exemptions are those who
are mentally, and physically unfit for
service.
The House provision for drafting col
ored men is so modified that when the
slave Of the loyal master is drafted snd
mustered into service, thereupon such |
slave shall be free, and the person 90
mentioned and freed is 10 receive the
S1oO bounty instead Of paying the same
to tho MASTER. The master however, re-
oeives compensation not exceeding $500.
NEW FEATURE IN ooMsnR,E
There is q proposition before Congress
to autboriEs the Sscretsry Of tie Treae-
ury from time 70 time TO sell the surplus
Of gold that may be on hand over and
above what may be required for the
payment Of interest on the public debt.
II appears that the receipts into tbs
Treasury are more than sufficient 20
meet the wants Of the gOVsrnmsnt, snd
the withdrawal Of go large an amount
from commerce makes it more difficult
for merchants to obtain suiiieiency fog
the payment Of duties on imports, and to
that extent tends to the depreciation Of
Treasury Notes. And ss Treasury Notes
have become the currency Of the country,
the Secretary cannot pay Peter hundred
dollars in paper, and Paul hundred in
geld for the same service, when the CON-
mercial value ofths two articles is 90
different. Hence the apparent necessity
for the measure.
