REBEL. CONGRESS.
In the Rebel Senate, on the 10Th, Mr..
Sparrow, of Louisiana, introduced the fol.
following resolution, which was agreed to !
That the Committee on the judiciary be
instructed to inquire what legislation is
necessary to provide for the sequestratiOn
of the property of all persons liable to mill
itary duty who have left or may leave the
Confederscy without the sanction of the
Confederate authorities.
Mr.. Orr read resolution, which was
agreed to, that the Committee on Military
Affairs beinstructed to inquire whether the
late order of the Adjutant Generals De
partment revoking the detail of al men
between the ages of 1s and As, requires any
modification by legislation to preserve the
producing and industrial interests Of the
country.
In the course of his remarks Mr.. Orr
said that the result of this order would be
the loss OF, possibly, three-fourths of the
crop in his section OF the country. In the
upper portion Of South Carolina small
farmers have been detailed. The people
in those districts will be able to exist for 8
year, but if the execution of this order be
carried out, the crops will be reduced two
birds.
In the rebel Senate, on the 18th, reso-
luton was offered requesting JEFF. Davis to
inform the Senate if any one of the United
States had expressed willingness to go
into Convention with the Confederate
States to negotiate peace; consultory on
the best methods of effecting a cessation of
hostiities.
In the rebel House on the 18th, the reso-
luton for the expulsion Of r. W. Cobb, Of
Alabama, was adopted.
A message was submitted from the Pres
ident transmitting the estimate of the war,
the message also contained a report of
General Beauregaris operations on Nor
ris Island. Both referred.
The Bristol Tenn Register says, in the
matter of the exchange of prisoners and
non combatants held as prisoners by the
respective parties in East Tennessee:
We are glad to announce that the Con
federate war authorities at Richmond have
responded favorably, and General Vaughn
has been authorized to complete the nego-
tiations to that end.
The Richmond Dispatch, of the 18th in
stant says
Sherman will, wo think, feel an opposi-
ton he does not calculate on before reach
ing the Notifications of Macon.
These works, should he ever reach them,
he will find of most formidable chsrac-
ter, and with troops that before that time
will be collected in them, they must give
him vast deal moF9 trouble thsn he
counts upon if Geargians battle for theil
trenches as the Petersburgh militia did
last June, for theirs, or the Richmond mi
litia at Stanton Bridge. .
Macon will be saved, while the same
paper says FISHERMAN, turn which road he
will, he has long road before him, and it
will be a rough one.
Will Beauregsrd turn and pursue Sher
man, or will he prosecute his own cam
paign?
1t is to be hoped that the people Of tn,
State through which Sherman proposes t.
march, will flng themselves upon him witt
courage which shall do them honor. Their
issome difference between him and tn
position of Hood
He is in the enemy's country; Hoo,
among friends. No sacrifice Of property
no active opposition must be counted OIL
or considered excessive. Tear dow
bridges, block roads, romove or destro
supplies, cut off forsgers snd fight ever
pass. If Sherman should be sble to az
complish such a journey as he propose.
foraging as he goes, it will be proof tbs
he was not rightly resisted. On tn
wholethe situation of fafairs, East and Soutl
very interesting and important event
hasten to their accomplishment
