The RebeI Congress.

NEW YoRK, Nov. 29.-In the rebel House
OF Representatives on the 25tb, Mr.. Leach
of North Carolina, offered the following
resolutions with preambles:
WheTeGs, The unfriendly interference Of
citizens Of nOn.slaVeholding States with the
reserved rights of States, WAS the cause Of
this cruel, bloody and relentless war, and
whereas, the citizens of the slave States in
an unguarded moment, under the influence
Of unWise connsels, without mature deIib-
Grafton as 70 the fearful consequences,
made the election of Abraham Lincoln the
occasion for pTecipitatiDg the Confederate
states out of the Union, followed by fear
full train of consequences, and whereas, We
the Representatives of the people, desire 70
place ourselves fairly before the civilized
world Is anxious 70 secure an honorable
and permanent peace, therefore
Resolved, That any attempt 20 infringe
upon the reserved rights of the States
should be resisted by all lawful means.
ResOIUed, That when the United States
shall SIGNIFY its willingness to recognize
these rights, aud guarantee citizens their
rights of property as provided by the Con-
stitution and laws Of Congress, We will
agree to treat for peace on such terms as
States, acting in their sovereign character,
which shall constitute the bond Of peace
between the North and South.
Mr.. Leach sustained these resolutions in
q speech, and then they were voted down
almost unanimously.
The army correspondent of the Tribune
Gays guns have been sent 20 the front which
will throw shells into Richmond from our
nearest position. The shell is inhamable
to an extraordinary degree and it is thought
the rebels will be burned out with them.
On the morning of the election a state
room on the steamer Elm City, running be-
tween N, Y. and New Haven, was found on
ERE, similar 70 the hotels here.
Three more arrests have been made
The hotel keepers have increased their re.
ward to 1000.
An attempt to fire the International Ho-
tel was made last night.
\ Washington special to the Tribune
says, MOsby's adjutant who bad taken the
oath Of allegiance, has been captured.
