SOUTHERN NEWS.

Tn the speech of Mr.. ORR, of Mississippi, IN
the Confederate Congress recently, heretofore
referred to, IN relation to certain charges
made in the Richmond Sentinel newspaper,
be said 'sFor the sake Of argument, let 1t
be conceded that they have proposed to SEND
commissioners to Washington to open 'rregu-
lar negotiations Tor peace. These commission
ers might be sent with no other power than TO-
confer and consult with the authorities there
on terms of an honorable peace, with instruc
tons to report the results of such conference
to the President and to this House Such ne.
sotiations would be irregular, and yet they
might. I think they would, if ratified by the
treaty-making power, secure an honorable and
satisfactory peace. Who but mailman
would denounce these means and this result as
treachery of the most infamous character!
From the supposed relation Of the paper to
men in power, it may have been intended, IN
indulging in bitter denunciation, to have the
effect of intimidating the advocates OF All hon
orable, peaceful settlement OF the war II this
was the design, allow me to assure you, Mr..
Speaker, that a greater mistake was never
made Denunciation will be met by defiance.
This movement is not in the hands OF tlmlu or
time serving men. Sustained as they are by .
volume of sentiment in the country and IN the
army, and by their own sense of duty, they are
determined that in some form the statesman
ship Of the country shall be invoked 10 an hon.
est effort to end this carnival Of death BY nego-
tiation.
Mr.. Orr, however, in this same speech
disclaimed all idea of favoring a peace on the
basis Of re construction, or otherwise than in
acknowledging Southern independence: and
the next day, in another speech applauded the
remarks of Mr. Marshall, of KY, and said,
1.-THE means Of resistance must be strengthened
to increase chances for speedy and honorable
peace, and send Commissioners to Washing
ton With the olive branch in one hand and the
power of popular determination and heroic re-
solve in the other"
All the Richmond papers condemn the tone
OF MI. Orr's speech, and any terms of peace, ex-
eept. on the basis of Southern independence.
A resolution has passed the House of
Repre- sentatives at Richmond, appointing q
Joint committee to prepare an address to the
people of the Confederate States assuring
them Of che unalterable determination Of Con.
sress to continue energetioally the struggle for
independence, and expressing, as the solemn
conviction Of that body, that with frmnessL
and union the war will close triumphantly, it
