From Washington.

AslIfNGToN April O. lcot.
A party of refugees, just arrived. bring
late intelligence from Richmond. They re-
port daily augmentations to Lees army by
large numbers of concripts from various
portions of the Confedeiacy. The rebels
are increasing their armies very quietly, but
effectively and rapidly, and they expect to
start Lee out on the spring campaign Win
not less than eighty or ninety thousand men,
without weaking other armies III the held.
The conscription is merciless in the extreme.
Its effects on the people are studiously con
cealed, newspapers being prohibited from
any expression in regard to 1t.
The conscript troops arriving at R,ch-
mond arc mostly armed and organized, and
arc sent forward to the Rapidan without
delay. Reports received here some time ago
that the Richmond and Fredericksburg
Railroad had been taken up by the rebels
are pronounced untrue. 1t is the general
understanding among the citizens of Rich
mond that the rebel leaders have concluded
on decisive line Of operations this spring.
Misery and want everywhere in Dixie con-
tinuc to prevail, and the great problem OF
the food question is to cke out present
supplies until vegetables can be raised.
The Committee on Manufactures have
made report relative to the duties on wool.
They say that the expectations that low
/ grades of wool would not compete with the
; domestic product has not been realized,
| n-eighths of all importations last year
having been invoiced below the minimum

committee recommend that the duty OF
per cent. on wool under lSc. be changed tt
u specific duty of &c. per pound, and an nc
valorcm duty of 20 per cent. on woods cos.
ing over 1Sc, and not over 24c; specitt

1t appears, from an official report Of As

received daily es many as hundred VISITS
from the'pcoplo Of Paducah.
On Saturday, during the battle, granu
dinner was prepared for the rebel ofhcers,
to the number of forty, in the Central liouse,
and they were enjoying fine time; but
Captain Smith, of the Peostal, fired shell
through the dining-room, which put an emo
to the dinner.
These things are going on within distance
of from ten to thirty miles of Cairo, and SO
fearless have they become that several have
crossed the river in skiffs, and have been
in town attending the theatre and taking a
general survey of things.
If l understand matters, rightly, Govern
ment has not been idle, and large bodies OF
troops are moving from two points, for the
! purpose not only of clearing the country,
but of capturing the whole force of rebels
More than this, q large force, not less than
thirty thousand men will be required tc
keep back Morgan and other leaders who
are getting ready to move through Kentucky
and if opportunity offers, to cross into
| Illinois. Cairo will be the base of defence.
The time is near when the position o
Kentucky will cease to be uncertain. Sht
must say which side she will serve. 1t Ii
scarcely possible that the State will array
| itself against the Government. The leading
men would do so if they dared; the common
people and non Shareholders are loyal to thu
core, and have not the least interest in The
rebel Confederacy. When the day come
YOU will see a swift and utter destruction o
the institutions of slavery.

vote for this internal war. 1t was the most
stupendous folly that ever disgraced any
people on the face Of Gods earth. II this
be treason, make the most of 1t. 1t was the
right of commoner to say he would not
cntrust the means of carrying on the war TO
a king who is the war power. The south
ask you to leave them in peace, but now
you say you will bring them into subjecton'
That is not done yet, and God Almighty
grant il never may be. I hope you Will
never subjugate the South.
When resolution was offered to expel
this convicted traitor" as Gen. Schenck
properly called him, the vote stood yeas 81,
nays SO, and as it required two thirds to expel
Mr.. Harris barely escaped, and even when a
vote of censure was taken, eighteen copper
heads had the hardihood TO approve his
open avowal of treason in the American
Congress by refusing even to censure him
Among these eighteen, was our own beauti
full Representative, "Bill Miller" Forty o.
the tifty-eight Copperheads, who voted
against the expulsion of Harris, could moi
bring themselves down low enough, to op
pose the vote of censure. But "Bil" led oil
by Fernando Wood and others, swallowed
the traitor and the treason. Is it not a burn
ing shame that loyal people should be dis
graced by such q Representative, put int
position, by ignorant but many well mean
ing men, LED cstray by political character
and Office hunters.

sIic Rebel Press.
DAVIS JEALOUS OF JOHN MORGAN.

From the Richmond papers We gather the
following news. The Examiner, Of March
2Sth, contains these dispatches.
ORANGE G. H., March 27.-Gov. Vance.
of North Carolina, addressed the troops Of
General Daniels brigade yesterday in an
able and eloquent speech of two hours, and
will speak again tomorrow and every Gay
this week. Gencals Lee, Hill, Edward John
son, Rodes, and many general officers were
present to hear him yesterday. The wealth
er is fine, and they are drying fast. Moth
ing from the front.
DALTON. March 25.-No reiniorccments,
with the exception of returning regiments,
have arrived in front as yet, though it is
generally supposed that Sherman will be
brought within striking distance. A heavy
snow fell here last night, followed by a
hard rain which put the roads in bad order
again.
The Examiner charges that the Richmond
Government has treated John Morgan with
jealousy and injustice The Examiner says
that two OF Morgans regiments, every man
of which was recruited by himself in Ken,
lucky, and for special service under himself
have been transferred to the command oI
General Grigsby, a special pet of JEFF. Davis
/ Morgan is, therefore, now with command
/ of only about 500 men.
\ letter from Mobile states that eight
Federal vessels are still lying oil Fort Pow
! ell, and ten off Fort Morgan
The Examiner has also an editorial sound
/ ly berating Jeif. Davis and his Cabinet fo
the alleged intention of receiving Butle
under a flag of truce to treat with him Will
regard to the exchange of prisoners. This
says the Examiner, will necessitate the with
| 4 l,,st la n
its deliberate proclamation of outlawry anC
felony against him. The Examiner does no
believe the Confederate Government cai
have sunk SO low as to trample upon it
solemnly-uttered proclamation, or To b
guilty of wha. it designates such IAN act O
abject meanness." The Examiner console
itself with the thought that if jeff himsel
chooses himself to make ms proclamation
nullity the people themselves ere deter
mined that each proclamation shall be ful
filed.
The Examiner treats upon the enaetmen
Withdrawing one thousand millions of Con
federate paper from circulation, and think
IL this astonishing achievement in finance
Is feasible, enabling the South 10 continu
the war indefinitely, the North will patter
by the Southern policy "in this as II hh
done in other particulars, and become abb
10 prolTact It's aggressiOns indefinitely"
1he Examiner, however, comforts isel
|, with the belief that the Norther people MI
not stand the adoption Of any such dnaneiu
! measure.
