THE TwEETY-SECOND OF FEBRUARY
AMONG THE YANKEES

THE TWENTY SECOND or FEBRUARY
AMONG TIE YANKEES.
The ed Of February was celebrated
in Great style among the Yankees. At
New York, the 'old flag" was exhibited
by the thousand, and in some cases
sold as cheap as two cents about the
value Of it. A telegram from Washing
ton shows how it was celebrated there:
At noon national salutcs were fired at
the navy yard and at all the fortifica>
tons around Washington, and for time
it seemed as if general bombardment
were in progress. All the public
buildings and many private dwellings,
places Of business, &c, We're gaily deco
rated with flags. Hardly had the rcver>
bcrations of the sslutes died away than
the glorious intelligence that Fort Ander-
son had been evacuated, and the way to
Wilmington opened, became generally
known adding to the general rejoicing.
This evening the public buildings and
many stores and residences were brill
antly illuminated. The capitol was
blaze Of light from basement to dome,
and presented magnificent appearance.
The State Department was tastefully
adorned with national flags, and over the
main entrance was transparency with
the following significant inscription, in
large letters "Peacc and good will to
all nations but no cntangling alliances
and no foreign Intervention"

The French press has received orders to say that

We are credibly informed that secret negotiations

WORK IN THE FEDERAL CONGRESS THE
RECONSTRUCTION BILL
The correspondent of the New York
Herald, tclegraphing from Washington,
says:
Mr.. Summers Frccdmcn's Bureau bill
was effectually squelched to-day in the
Senate. The worst feature in the case is
the fact that the measure was killed by
it's friends The idea of John p. Hale,
Lane, of Indiana, Grimes and Henderson,
radical as they are, opposing anything
that Sumner might propose in favor of
the negro is quite refreshing. Hale and
Lane both broadly asserted that they
believed that the poor white refugees Of
the South had some rights as well rs the
negroes. Mr.. Sumner was much excited,
and several times seemed to have lost his
temper. His manner toward his radical
brethren said, "Call you this backing
your friends?" When the vote was
finally taken, and the report Of the com.
miticc of conference was non-concurTed
in, he looked in utter despair. Among
the incidents of the discussion was
speech from Mr.. Spraguc, of Rhode
Island, in favor Of granting the elective
franchise to the freedmen of the South
ern States, as being the most loyal per-
sons there. Mr.. Lane, of Indiana, agreed
with him. While they were willing to
do this, and place the negro on a level
with the poor whites, neither of them
would consent to Mr.. Summers PROPOSE
ton to give everything in the South to
the negroes, and then subject the latter
to bureau whose officers had the power
to reduce them to a worse state of
slavery than they were in formerly by
contracting their services for term of
years without their consent.
The reconstruction measure, which
was supposed to have been finally dis
posed of yesterday, came up in the
House again to-day in the shape of an
amendment to bill reported from the
Judiciary Committee to establish the
supremacy of the Constitution over the
States in rebellion. The bill and pro-
posed amendments were finally laid upon
the table, and it is believed that the
matter is now finally disposed of.
The Senate bill providing for the free
dom of slaves serving in the military and
naval forces of the United States was
finally passed to-day. It met with
strong opposition, and the vote upon it
was almost strictly party one. Every
Democrat voted against it, and few of
the border State men who usually act
with the Administration party in the
House.

THE NEW WORKERS ON THE WAR-A LIT
TIE THEATRICAL BUSINESS FOR GENE
RAJ ROBERT ANDERSON.
The New Workers. arc persIading
themselves that they have altogether
subjugated the gentlemen who used to
buy goods from them, and propose to
hold a grand mass meeting to celebrate
the event. In the preliminary meeting
for this purpose we find the following
resolutions:
Reso7pea, That the trcacherous as
sault upon Sumter has been fifty expi-
ated in the ignominious flight of the as
sailants, without shot fired in defence
of city dedicated to treason.
Reso5reA, That it is becoming in a
free and enlightened people to recognize
and app,sud distinguished public ser
vices rendered in the cause Of the coun-
try, and that the citizens of New York
regard it as a duty to give public ex.-
preston of their gratitude to the heroic
men who, under Divine Providence, have
defended and preserved the honor and
tie life of the nation.
KesoIcs1, That committee Of citizens
be appointed to consider and report at a
subsequent meeting, to be called by the
chairman and secretary, in regard to the
time and manner of celebrating the re-
cant triumph of the Union arms, and with
the purpose of uniting a whole cQmmu-
nifty, irrespective of all other considera-
tons, in grand ovation to the principles
Of loyal duty to the country and its Go.
vcrnmcnt.
Resolced, That copies Of these resolu-
tons be transmitted to the President of
the United States, to the Governor of
this State, and to the several officers
named therein, and that the same be
published.
Feso!0ed, That the President be re-
qucsted to send a national ship to Charles
ton harbor to convey thitber General
Robert Anderson, that he may replace
upon the flagstaff of Fort Sumter that
national banner, the emblem of our liber-
ties and of our Union, which, on the
18th Of April, 1861, he was compelled
to lower at the dictation of the traitors
of South Carolina.

WEare authorired % ray that the l,npu.e,

Ware authorized 10 say that the lsnguage
attributed to Mr.. John Patton--U UHion can
didate for Ropresentativo--by the last g.
Clairsvills Gazette, was mover used at Union.
town or anywhere else.
What Mr.. Patten did say was, that the
Confederate Democracy did not show q
nero hollow.hesrted, bypocritical friend.
ship for returned Rebel soldiers, but real,
hearty, cordial friendship; for they did not
stop with inviting them to drink, but, IL he
had been rightly informed, they had in St.
Clairsville admitted Rebel soldiers into the
social circle and into the society Of their fe.
male friends. .....I ....
This tho Gazette has msgni6ed into an
" Insult to Soldiers, and, flying into a
tangent, accuses Mr.. Patton Of being aris-
tocratic. We presume Heaton means that
it is an insult to Rebel soldiers. That s
what makes him mad. What does he care
how much Union soldiers are insulted2--
Did he not, while they were absent, print
all kinds Of vile ISLANDERS about them2 Did
he not say they were hirelings in crusade
to free the " nigger2"
Mr.. Patton carried musket in the Union
army for nearly three years, and was with
Sherman OF the closing Of the war in North
Carolina. That IS the reason Heaton hates
him and ISLANDERS him.
