RESOLUTIONS CONCERNING NEGOTIATIONS.
Mr. j. T. Leach introduced the following resolu.
tions for the purpose more ecctuay to strengthen
the Confederate cause promote peace, and restore
harmony amony the people:
WHEREAS, The protracted struggle on the part Of
the Confederate States for their constitutional rights
against the federal Government which claims the
ext rcise of rights the Statesa and the property
of the citizens not guaranteed by the Constitu ton
OF the United States nor the laws of Congress is
Just cause Of alarm to the friends of civil liberty
AND WHEREAS, The cruel manner in which the
war has been conducted on the part Of the Federal
autho rifles in the destruction Of the private proper
ty of non-combatants and other acts of wantonness
not tolerated by the usages of civilized ns ito ns,
just6es the painful apprehension that the Fed eral
authorities are blind to their constitutional obEga-
tions deaf to the demands of justice the appeals of
suffering humanity, the groans of the dying, the
tears and cries of helpless mothers and weaping
orphans:
ResoIued Therefore, for the purpose of ayerting
If possible &he further horrors of this bloody and
fralricdal strife, revolving alike to the feelings Of
statesmen, patriots and Christians and 10 add moral
10 our physical strength, That We, the members Of
the House of Representatives of he Confederate
Congre s. in behalf Of justice aOd suffering human
ity, appeal most earnestly TO the President and
Senators of the Gonfederate States to appoint such
number of comm Ssioners rs, ia their judgment, the
importance OF the occasion demands, to offer an
armisce to the federal authorities preparatory to
negotiations for peace.
Resolced, Tnat Should the Federal authorities
agree to srmis ice and consent to negotiate fol-
peace, that the President by and with the consent
of the Senate, be requested to appoint Commits
sioners for the purpose of comforting with the Fed
eral authorities, and that such terms of peace may
be agreed to by the and ratified by the President
and Senate, two thirds of the Senator's concurring
shall constitute the bond of pence between the bel
ligerents.- =
Resolced That should the Federal authorities re-
fuse to entertain terms of peace by negotiation and
shereby deny Constitutional rights, that for
abe purpose of none effectuaRy maintaining those
rights, at the same ii me avert, If possible the fear
tu and humilstiHg fate Of subSugatiou, alike revolt
ing to the feelings of freemen and repuguant to the
demands Of JUSTICE that we, the representatives Of
this House, do unanimously pledge the undivided
resources Of the Confederate States in the defence
Of our inaenable rights fieemen. -=-"
On motion of Mr.. Atkins the resolutions were re
ferped to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

SCRIPTURE CONFIRMED BY MODERN TEs-
TIaosY.-After the children Of Israel had
crossed the Jordan and had taken the city Of
All, they assembled, as Moses had previously
commanded them, in the valley between
mounts Ebal and Gerizim, half Of them " over
against either mountain. The Levites on
mount Gerizim then read the blessings, and
the Levites on mount Ebal the ,ursings, and
the vast congregation responded, Amen.
Bishop Colenso and modern sceptics discredit
this narrative as given by Joshua, saying that
it is absurd to believe that the voice OF any
man could be heard from one mountain to an
other. An English clergyman. Rev. John
Mills, who has spent three months at Nablus,
at the foot Of these mountains. states that
where they approach nearest are the two low
est spurs, looking like two noble pulpits,
where the Levites probably stood. The val
ley between, he says, is like the floor Of a
vas; place of worship. and the mountain
slopes reced;ng gradually, offer room for hum
dreds OF thousands to be conveniently seated
to hear the words of the Law. Mr.. Mills and
two OF his friends determined to test the
question whether the human voice could trav-
erse the distance between the two mountains.
He ascended the pulpit on Gerizim, where
he read the command concerning the bless
ing. and one of his friends did the same on
Ebal, reading the cursings. The other friend
standing in the valley distinctly heard every
word and syllable, as did also the one on the
mountain opposite the reader. Before they
descended, the one in the valley requested
them to sing, snd gave out, " Praise God
from whom all blessings fow." They sang
i, to the tune of Old Hundred, and so clear
is the atmosphere there, il was their impress
sion that If the whole area before and around
them had been filled with listeners, every
note would have been distinctly heard.

INDICATIONS OF NEw LIFE IN JERusA-
LEM.-There has recently been much excite
ment in Jerusalem, in consequence of an or
der from the Porte that all the streets in the
city should be eveled and paved, and all un-
due projections should be removed. This
will be great public benefit, substituting
broad and airy streets in place Of the narrow
and inconvenient ones. The gathering up
the stones and making broad the ways has
greatly excited the Jews, who say, {" Now
we are certain Messiah's coming is very near"
A telegraph line is to be built TO 'Jafs, thus
connecting. through Beyrout and Alexandria,
the Holy City with the capitals Of Europe.
A carriage road is to be built to Jaffa, the
seaport OF Jerusalem, and survey for rail-
way ha. been completed. and the Sultan has
authorized it's construction. IL is proposed
TO bring water again from Solomon's pools to
supply and purify the city. There is an in
creasing number OF intelligent and noble vis-
itors to il from all parts OF the world. The
growing love for the Holy Land among the
jews is remarkable, and pious, wealthy, and
learned Jews are constantly going to spend
the rest OF their days around it's sacred scenes,
some Of whom have recently founded valuable
institutions there.

INDIAN Com ron SUGAR CANE The
war, which has largely stopped the produc-
tion and export of southern commodities,
has greatly stimulated invention and discoy
covery, with desire to make good their
places. As one result, corn. which is one Of
the most useful and valuable staples of the
Ncrth seems about to become more valuable
by being the rival, II not the substitute for
sugar cane. A German chemist at Cincinnati
clams to have discovered that three and a
half gallons Of beautiful white syrup can be
produced from bushel OF corn. by a process.
so simple that it can be carried on IN any
kitchen with cnly the ordinary houset old
utensils. He also discovered the process.
which has heretofore puzzled chemists, of
turning the syrup into granulaled sugar. A
company of wealthy sugar refners have pur-
chased the secret, and propose to test it's
usefelness on large scale. The idea would
once have hardly been entertained that the
sugar plantations OF this country would ever
be- transferred to tho northwest.

STATE SovEREIGSTr.-The rebel states
seeded on the ultra-democratic doctrine of
State Rights, and now not few of the con-
feds. are for repudiating the doctrine. 1t
does not work any better in rebeldom than it
did in the old Confederacy Of the United
States which preceded the Federal Constitu-
tion. The Richmond Enquirer says
Has not state sovereignty been the weak
ness OF our csusei Has il not continually y
oblruded itself, delayed and prevented the
legislation necessary to the common defence,
impaired the authority intrusted to the gem
eral government, and impeded the execution
Of the laws necessary TO our success Is it
to be supposed that when peace comes this
principle will permit the confederaGy to exist
one year How long would Gov. Brewn
permit the people OF Georgia to be taxed to
pay the debt Of the country The conduct
of certain states, in their opposition to laws
passed for the organization of the army and
preservation of discipline, has caused many
persons to reconsider their long g-cherished
doctrine of state sovereignty, and to come to
the conclusion that while true and beautiful
in theory. 1t is utterly defective in fact and
practice" 0HNHtNN| ''iI

Prom the Philadelphia Press, March rlth.
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN
MILLIONS OF 7-3Os,

Nearly lis millions Of the popular 7-3o
loan had been disposed Of up to Saturday
night last, and not more than so millions OF
this particular loan yet remain. 1t will borne
in mind that the notes nov sold have little
less than two and half years to run before
they mature, when the valuable privilege oo-
ours Of their conver,ibility into 500 bonds,
which have five years to run from August Is,
1867. 1t is generally believed that our new
and able Secretary, Mr.. McCulloch. fsvors
the present popular system Of distributing
government loans, as now familiar to the peo-
pie. Therefore it is to be expected that, af-
ter the present issue Of 1905 is exhausted,
the ssle will be continued upon a new issue,
having longer period to run before the valu-
able privilege OF convertibility into $40
bonds occurs to them. The ak hundred mil
lions just authorized by Congress will proba-
bly,, as far as needed, be raised from sales Of
the 7.30 loan, divided up into three or four
series of issues-ssy lO0,000.000 or 1907
600, 900 each--the first series Of one hun
dred and fifty millions maturing say one year
later than the present old issue, and so on,
making each series mature one year later than
the previous one, and if holders required the
loan to be paid at maturity, the demand could
be met by receipts from internal revenue and
other sources The subscription agent, while
endeavoring to dispose Of the present issue
as rapidly as possible, does not wish to con-
vey the idea that there will be no more of the
7-30 loan, as Mr.. McCulloch will doubtless
decide that the people shah te allowed to
continue their subscriptions without changing
the nature OF the loan further than to post
pone the maturity of the issues to later
periods. Some will regard those maturing at
an earlier date with more favor others, re-
garding the probability Of a speedy resump-
tion o. specie payments, will favor those
having longer time to run.

ENocH ARDEN BOILED DOWN.

Both were "spo0ns" Of Annie Lee
Phil did not ful6ll her notions,
She preferred TO mate with y.
Hin che welded, aud she bore him
Pretty little children three;
Bot becoming short Of rhino,
Enoeh went away to sea,
Leaving MrI. Arden owner
Ofa .el-stock'd village shop,
Selling butter. soap and treacle,
Beas~aH, whipcord, lollipop.
Ten long yoars she waited foT him.
But he neither came nor wrote,
Wherefore, she concluded bnoch
Could no longer be aAoAt.
60 when Philip came 10 ask her
Ifshe would be Mrs Ray.
Che, believing she was widow'd.
Could not say her suitor "nAy;"
And second time was married,
Gave up selling bread and cheese,
And 10 due tins Philip nursed a
Little Ray upon his knees
But, alas ! the long.lost Bnoch
Turn'd up Unexpectedly,
And was vastly disoohcerted
By this act Of biga-my.
Yet rejecting on the subject,
he determtnd 70 atone
For his heightened absence from her
BY Just leaving we'll alone.
Taking 10 his bed he dwindled
Down to something like a shade,
Setled with his good landlady.
Next the debt Of nature paid.
Then, when both the Rays discovered
How poor Enooh's life had ended,
They came out In handsome style and
Gave bis corpse funral splendid.
