HOUSE OF DELEGATES.

The House met at II NJ.
The resolution fixing the <23d Of Fc-
brusry, instant, as the day upon which
the Legislature will adjourn sine die was
taken up.
Mr.. Dcanc, of Campbell, advocated
the adoption of the resolution. 1t was
plain to him that members were too
| much absorbed in the great question of
| this struggle to attend to the ordinary
business Of legislation. The House had
been in session two months this day,
and had passed twenty bills and adopted
any number of resolutions. And what
had all these resolves accomplished :.
Nothing, absolutely nothing. Members
had better 60 home, where their infIu-
cnce could be felt, and exert that in!lu
cnce in putting into tho army all who
ought to be there.
Mr.. Richardson said if it was as the
member represented it-that the Legis
lature was not capable Of attending to
it's business then he would recommend
that the member move an amendment
adjo,rnins the body tomorrow and
instead of members going home to urge
others to enter the army, to 60 there
themselves; for if they are not capable
Of being public servants in this capacity,
they can, at least, be soldiers in the
army.
Mr.. Hall, Of Wctzcl, opposed a pre-
cip'tatc adjournment; it would have
bad effect. Then the discovery Of the
little mistake in the estimate Of the Con
federatc Secretary of War of over three
millions Of dollars, now due, neccssitates
a tax Of one hundred per cent above
all other taxes, and tho States would be
called upon to bear their proportionate
part.
The resolution to fix the day of adj
jouinmcnt sine die was lost-aycs, SO;
noes, SO.
The bill to pay Tucker Darlington an
additional sum of money for slave con

Both Houses Of Congress have agreed

Carolina, South Carolina. Georgia, Flo
rida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee shall not
be counted next Wednesday for Prcsi-
dent and Vice President of the United

that none of them were in 4 condition to

In accordance with the agreement with
Brazil, the crew of tho Florida has been
sent out, on board Yankee steamer, to

Five Of the fleet CT vessels on which

prepared to make rather than submit to

6. He says he never lived better than
he did in Richmond, so far as the sub
stantials arc concerned; that he found
everything necessary for Il state dinner
EXCEPT wine; that he was treated with
marked attention and liberality by every.
body. When he inquired for his hotel
bill he was informed it had been settled.
He thinks even the women Of the South
would fight sooner. than see their hus-
bands, sons and brothers submit to dis
honorable relations, or disgraceful and
UNEQUAL terms Of reconciliation.
T. He had an interview with Prcs-
dent Davis and all the members of his
Cabinet, also with General Lee; that he
never heard word of defiance, or re-
proacl,, or elimination, from any one ot
them. or any other person in Richmond.

presence of q man whose soul was filed
with every sentiment Of honor, religion
and patriotism. The subject of the war
was barely alluded toy and, in connec-
/ ton with which the old man, with great
earnestness and feeling, remarked that
he did not wish to leave so cruel legacy
as the war to his children and while his
affections for his old comrades and
friends had not abatcd in any degree, he
had but a plain duty. under the proyi-
dcncc Of God, to perform, and would be
glad to be spared such II necessity by a
permanent peace, not only Between the
sections, but with all mankind
His appointment as Gcneralissimo has
united the people, and inspired new con-
fidcnce and life among the army and
people; and he really believes that,
such is the devotion Of the people to Lee,
every man, woman and child in the
Conicdcracy would follow him into the
Gulf Of Mexico as religious duty, if lie
required it Of them.

A NEW CONFEDERATE CRUISER.
A letter from MOntevideO saws:


The English papers have stated that
little steamer, called the Ranger, had
gone out with provisions OF various kinds
for the armament of a new vessel for
Captain Semmcs, and that another was
soon to follow with other conv cniences
for new privatccr; and that the place OF
rendezvous was at some groap of the
Atlantic islands, perhaps tho Madciras,
The Ranger is now at Montcvidco. She
is not adapted to freight or passengers
wholly useless for any rcmuncrativc en-
ployment in these waters. She is ninety
tons burthcn, and is a complete steam
pleasure yacht.
Under sail, she is amarvel of rapidity,
and, with only two feet draught, she can
hide away from any larger craft
With one or two guns she could do
more damage than ever tho Alabama
did. She was consigned by a house
VIGOROUSLY engaged in misunderstanding
to a house that never before had received
consignment. The censignor and con-
sisnce arc bl others.
Captain Rodgers has the Ranger under
his eye, and the lroquos is anchored
between the Ranger and the open sea
whether from accident or design | cannot

has been called to the matteS, and it is
probable that no movement of the Ranger
