WASH NGToS, Jan. "a
tbs BROOKS AND BUTLER CONTROVERSY.
The House of Representatives to day
was filed with the largest audience of
the session TO hear the debate on the
letter which Gen. Butler sent to Mr.
Brooks, of New York, relative to the
latter denouncing him as gold robber
Three speeches'were made, which con-
sumed the days session. The speeches
were very bitter, on both sides, but re-
suited in nothing. The appeal from
Mr.. Colfax's decision that Gen. Buffers
letter was no breach of the privileges
of any member of the House, was with
drawn, and there the matter stands.
DESTRUCTION OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE.
One Of the sublimest yet saddest
spectacles ever witnessed, was the burn
ing of the Smithsonian Institute this
afternoon The fire frat broke out in
the picture gallery, and was caused
by a defective hue. 1t spread with
great rapidity, and has thus far de-
stroyed the entire central portion Of
that immense building The Library
iB saved and some of the most valuable
relics of the Washington family, which
were in the great museum, but the
destruction of other relics and collec-
tons of exploring expeditions of the
last fifty years, can hardly be enumeIa-
ted in dollars, for no money can ever
replace them. The apparatus chemi-

PROPOSED IMPORTANT AMENDMENTS TO THE
ENROLMENT BILL
Mr.. Wilson to day in the Senate in
taoduced a number of amendments to
the Enrolment Bill, which change it
in its most important particulars. They
provide that persons already enrolled may be
received as subsidiaries, and that none
shall be exempted by reason of fur
nishing TO the naval service, unless such
substitute shall be presented in person
to the enrolment board and accepted.
Any person offering for substitute an
individual who is insane, convict, or
who is convicted of any crime, or who
is a deserter, or any person in state of
intoxication; or shall defrsud any sub
stitute, shall pay fine not exceeding
one thousand dollars, aud be imprison-
ed for the term of two years or less, and
any officer mastering into the service a
substitute in any of the above condi-
tions, shall be dishonerably dismissed.

rough weather experienced by our feet
OF Cape Fear, intelligence Of which
had reached England, strengthened the
Confederate loan. This loan rested
wholly on cotton received from VII
mington, and the closing of that port,
he says, would drive the loan out Of the
market The next news, which will be

port an advance. The English rebel

"a Savannah Refugee" tsupposed to be
j. Hcnly Smith, for n few weeks nast ed
itor ofthe Savannah News Writing in re-
cent number Of the Charleston Courier, de-
livers u bitter diatribe against the President
and all in whom the President is SUI, osed
to have any confidence. Tie whole thing is
in the style of Joseph T.. Brown and others
in that State, who have .sone so rch to
break the spirit ef the people and ALLEVIATE
them from the Confederate government and
the Confederate cause.
We confess that we did not attach any
great Importance to the effusion. and, as Il
Was long did not even read il through We
are told that it makes an onslaught upon
Gen. Bragg, charging him with deceiving
the people of the State, by telegraphing
that he was coming with renforccraents of
ten thousand men whereas Gen. bragg new
er telegraphed anything OF the kind. He
brought reinforcements-all he could get
ev. Ii to the point of stripping the works here,
and he begged and inanortuned for more
from Richmond. That they did not come
was not his fault.
We may here mention n circumstance
which we only vouch for 30 far rs to saw
shst We have it from highly respectable
source. 1t is this The enemy had reached
Wsynesboro. Ca, the railroad between
Milien and Augusta, and had got possession
of the telegraph Office They Immediately
put an operator to work telegraphing to Au-
gusta as though from Gen. Wheeler. Our
operator Immediately suspected that some
thing wa wrong; operators know each 9TH
er's touch, wo[suppose. lie communicated
his suspicion, hut answered the call of
Waynesboro' rs though suspes.ing nothing.
Some correspondence ensued, in the course
of which Il dispa Gin was sent from Augusta
to Wheeler /. e., the Yankees at Waynes-
boro') to hold on for day and Gen. Bragg
would come with ten thousand infantry aud
two brigades of Hampton's cavalry The
enemy instead of fooling any body was fooled
himself and swerved off from Augusta
AS we have said, we annot ,ouch for this
We give it only as on Dis, but if so it is
the only time Gen Bragg ever said he was
coming with ten thousand infantry, and the
enemy Is the only party that was deceived.
shall we complain of that?
We are sick and tired of this unjust
grumbling without rhyme or reason. We
.bink our leaders are conscientiously devoted
to the discharge of their duty. Their lot is
not, generally speaking, an enviable one.
Generals Lee, Beauregard, Bragg, the Presi-
dent and many others are among the heavi-
est losers, and many of them are exiles
from thair homes. And why should they be
cliqued against? 1t is wrong-lt il worse
than wrong. Wilmington Journal.

just support in all measures which, in the opinion
of its conductors, may be deemed prcaaotYc of the
good Of the ca'isc in which VIC are engaged. A
proper criticism of such acts as will be deemed ad-
verse to this object will be, of course,
with the independent character under which the

all that relates TO important political tpcechrs and
debates, whche- in legislative assemblies of
them, the HERALD" will present advantages
ceftainly not to be excelled by any paper iu the
Confederacy.
The farming interests will be faithfully rindica-
ted and care taken to disseminate the earliest in
telligence which proper regard for the welfare of
that great element of national wealth and power
sh all demand.
In the matter of correct com mcrcial intelligence
