IFrom the Richmond Seatinsl, MArchsl
Senator Wlgfall, who has been pursuing
avery extraordinary and very reprehensible
course during the whole OF the present tes-
sion OF Congress, seemed inspired, in his
speech of Tuesday night, by a desire To
surpass all his previous offences against
the public interests. His speech was vio-
lent, unpatriotlc, and censurable In the
highest degree; devoted to the advocacy Of
extreme fancles, and TO the abuse Of those
who stand infinitely higher than he In the
public confidence. He denounced the Vir-
ginia Legislature as "a one horse concern, !"
(wbere were our Senators that they had no
word Of rebukei) denounced the press,
poured ont his bitterness upon the Presi-
dent, and demanded that he and the Vice
President should resign.
There is. perhaps, not a patriot In the
land who will not think that Mr.. Wigfall
should himself take the advice he gives,
and resign his seat In the Senate. Had
he done so at the beginning of the session,
a great deal OF time would have been saved
to that body, which has been far worse
than wasted. One Of the last speeches
which the writer heard In the old United
States Senate was from Mr.. Wigfall, In
which he dehed the North and almost In
vtGd them 10 the battle. Little did we
then expect, when the war should Indeed
come, To see him pursue the course which
has made his further service during the
session now about to close an evil and a
curse TO his country.

The amount of cotton received in New
York and on ship bound from Savannah,
was 35,22l bales. The EG,Hing Post, Of
Thursday, says;
All this cotton has been seized by the
Government without regard TO the private
marks or protestAtions OF the claimants.
Much complaint has been made concern
ing this action of the Government. It Ia
understood, however, that the indiscrim-
mate seizure was induced by the fact that
the property was not delivered up, but cap
tured, the city not having surrendered.
Had Savannah, with lie garrison, been
given into the hands OF General sherman,
according TO his demand, the claims Ia
ownership Of the cotton would, 1t Is held,
have been Immediately respected; but thai
demand having been refused, all the prop
erty became prize Of war. The rights oI
loyal men, when adequately established
will, no doubt, be regarded.
