legislation has been done within the last three years
by the Confederate Congress. Nearly all the sacred
rights of the States have been tramped in the dust
Conscript law after conscript law has been passed
until the entire militia system of the States has been
swept away. Exemption bill after exemption bill has
heen modified or repealed until the whole male white
population between the ages of seventeen and fifty
years, with the exception of the State officers ed
iors, printers and ministers of the Gospel, are SUBJ
ject to the control of tho military authorities. And
now it is gravely proposed to repeal all exemption
laws, and allow no judges to hold our courts, no
man 20 legssate for the States, publish a newspa-
per or preach the Holy Gospel in pursuance of his
commission from Almighty God, without special
detail from the President for that purpose unless
such person should be over fifty years ofage. More
than once has the privilege of the great writ of ha
5sas corpus been suspended to extent never con-
templsted by the Constitution. 1t has not only
been suspended to all arrests made for criminal
oeuses, but it has been suspended so as to deny to
our citizens inquiry through that writ into the ex-
istenee of the dearest civil rights. And even now,
we are threatened with another suspension of the
same unconstitutional and obnoxious character.
All of these acts have been done heretofore, and
can only be done hereafter, by the votes of certain
nrefended representatives from the States of Mis-
souri, and Kentucky--States which have never Sc

male honor would be safe. Such scenes as we may
anticipate in that event beggars all description and
would most probably end in the ex.erminaton of
the negro race and the utter destruction of the in
stituton of slavery.
These reasons, it seems to me, Mr. Speaker,
should be sufficient to cause our statesmen to re-
coil from tho proposition with horror but there are
others that would be conclusive. Our armies as
we'll as our women and children at home must be
clothed and fed If this is not done, then the war
must end through famine All great writer's on
political economy agree that no nation can place
permanently in the field more than one third of its
fighting population without being subiueated soon.
or later. We have already all OF our white pop-
ulaton in the SERVICE and now it is gravely pro-
posed to take at least half of our slaves. And
most of these slaves must be taken from four or
five States, as the government has not the control
of larger number, and the consequence would be.
that in those States starvation would RAPIDLY make
its appearance. therefore conclude, Mr.. Sneaker.

Reports from Sherman.
DEATH OF Ex.Gov. HICKS.
New Secretary Of the
Treasury.
New York, Feb. Is.

The Herald's dispatches from the Army
of the james mention renewed rumors OF
preparations BY the rebels for the evacua.
ton Of Richmond.
Deserters and others who came into
the National lines last night, unanimously
concurred in the statement that the ens-
my's artillery on the north side of the
James river. in front of the Union works,
was being removed. They also said that
orders had been given by Lee for the
court-marshaling OF any Of his men csught
at the distance of half.a mile in the rear
OF his lines.
This would seem to confirm the former
reporter at least to indicate-,hat some
thing more than ordinary vas 10 progress
among the rebels in the vicinity OF Rich.
mond.
The Herald's dispatches from Sheri-
dams headquarters show that, though
everything remains comparatively quiet
in the Shenandoah Valley, the strictest
vigilance is still exercised BY the Union
forces, and tho country is frequently pa-
trol'ed BY scouting and reconnoisering
parties.
The regular rebel troops are stationed
at different points in the upper part of the
Valley; but the guerrillas are prowling
around in some of the counties between
the Blue Ridge aud Alleghany Noun
tains.
The Tribune's Washington special says
it is generally credited to night in Official
circles that BrauchvilIe is in Sherman q
possession, and that Charleston is being
evacuated.
1t is expected that Richmond and Will
mington will be evacuated also, and that
the rebels will make desperate attem pt
TO concentrate their entire force, and en-.
deavor to crush Sherman while he is in
the interior.
There is no doubt that stores, &C., re.
moved South from Richmond, lately, look
to its abandonment at no distant day.
The Petersburg Express says the fight
ing on Monday was. very severe. Timber
and underground were literally cut to
pieces by balls and bullets. The ground
was foul ught over four times, in conse-
quence of the arrival Of reinforcements to
either side. The charge which broke the
Yankee lines is said to have been one oI
the grandest scenes in military annals.
The Yankees lost lost between 800
add 1900 killed, wounded and taken pri
soners.
The Times says that Henry s. Foote,
late member Of the rebel Congress, sailed
for Europe, on Saturday, 10 the steamer
City of Cork The report tha. he had
been sent to Fort Warren is without foun
dltion.
The Richmond Sentinel, Of the 10th
says:
The Union forces are making raids il
Florida, and at last accounts were advanc
ing on Ricos Bluff in unknown forces.
The Augusta Constitutionalist says the
appointment Of Dick Taylor to the com
maud Of the rebel Army OF the Tennes
see has inspired the troops With frest
hopes, and they we're in excellent condi
| ton.
