CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON, March 10.

SENATE.
Mr.. Johnston presented the credentials of
j. A. j. Cresswell, elected Senator by the
Legislature Of Maryland in place of Senator
Hicks, deceased. lie was qualified and took
his seat.
Mr.. Lane, of Kansas, moved that the Sem
ate proceed to the consideration of the res
olution to pay compensation and mileage to
the claimants of seats from Louisiana and
Arkansas, and upon which the committee
to audit the contingent expenses had re-
ported adversely.
Mr.. Sumner called attention to the fact
that this resolution involved an expendi-
ture of $4,000, and that one of the persons
Mr. Fishback) could not take the oath re-
quired of every Senator without commit
ting perjury. ..
Mr.. Lane said that was not true. Mr..
+. was known to be 4 Radical Republican
from the commencement of the rebellion,
and was one up to this moment. lie resist
ed in every polite way the ordinance of
secession, until he was compelled to vote
for it to save his life. The Senator from
Massachusetts had just voted to print a
book from the Academy of Science. For
himself (Lane), he was not disposed to do
a wrong to make little money.
Mr.. Trumbull did not see what claim the
gentlemen from Arkansas had to seats. The
committee on Judiciary had investigated
the matter, and the Senate by a decided
vote declared they were not entitled to the
seats. .'
Mr.. Wade said the law-making power
had declared Louisiana to be in rebellion
against the people of the United States. 1t
was not in the power of the President to
bring back any State which was deliberate
ly opposed to republican Government. The
people are utterly unqualified to set up a
State Government until the obstacles are re-
moved and Congress declares they are in a
condition to establish Government
for themselves. The bringing back State
was not to be initiated by the President
lie could no more, by order, authorize
rebellious State to set up a Government
than he could create something out of moth
ing. He had striven to elect the President,
but he could never sanction such process
as that. Would the Senator from Illinois
sanction this, and bring in here unwashed
men who have perjured themselves to the
lowest hell, to associate with the
patriotic Senator from Illinois? Sir,
it will never do. Michael Hahn was
the candidate of the President, who said
to him in an order, "Be Governor
of Louisiana" and this was done without
consulting the Senate or any other body.
Inc senator from illinois had urged that
the people of louisiana had accepted with
out restraint, and that two-thirds of the
people had taken part in the election. VIII
you, said Mr.. Wade, appoint two-thirds to
make Constitution for the entire people,
while the other third is in duress? Is that
your rule?
Mr.. Trumbull moved an amendment to
the resolution, so as to provide for paying
only the claimant, pending which the SEN
ate went into Executive session, and ad-
journed.

The FAT CoNTRIBUToR's LEcTURE.-It
will be seen by notice in our amusement
column that Mr.. A. M. Griswold, known as
the Sat Contributor" will deliver his hu-
morous lecture on American antiquities and
the Indians, at the Atheneum, on Thursday
evening next. The Cleveland Herald thus
speaks of his recent delivery of the lecture
in that city: C8
Judging by the delighted laughter of his
auditory-and by what other test can a
comic lecture be judged?-MrG Griswold's eff
fort was success. 1t certainly took i'm
mensely. His stories were cheered to the
echo, and his witticisms never missed the
mark, AS literary composition, Mr.. Girls
swold will hardly claim much merit for his
production. But as rambling and discon-
nected talk, ostensibly about the Indians
and the discovery of America, but in real
ity about everything and nothing, into
which was woven joke and anecdote, song
and satire, which amused and convulsed the
listeners, it was a decided success. The
original songs which Mr.. Griswold intro
duced into the lecture were good and sung
with spirit. His closing paragraphs, on
''the new discovery of America" in which,
dropping the jester's cap and bells, he spoke
in a strain of earnest and eloquent patriot
ism, of the revelation which the war had
made of American courage and heroism,
were most appropriate and effective.

The MAGICAL AND GIFT SHow.-This
great attraction drew large crowd to the
Atheneum last night. 1t was happy hit
in the managers Of this entertainment to
unite magical performances with gift pres
entations. The former lends charm to,
and prepares the way for the latter, and
both combined keep the interest of visitors
wide awake and make them watchful and
attentive.
Everything passed Off pleasantly last
night. The hundred gifts were distributed
as usual. A lounge worth S25 fell to the
lotof H. Goldsmith, of this city, and Hon.
S. S. Bloom, of Shelby county, drew a tea
set worth $50.
At the entertainment tonight another
hundred gifts will be distributed, including
lounge valued at $50, and pitcher worth
$40. Go early, for there will be a jam at
the Atheneum.

"An Ounce ofPrcvention is worth

''An Ounce eOfPrcventiOn is worth
a Pound Of Cure."-This old and ever
true maxim is fully eXemplified in the use
of "PINKERToN's WAHoo AND CALIsAYA
BIrTERs." Hundreds and thousands have
been saved from fevers by the daily use of
these Bitters. We said "daily," because they
should be used as beverage. They are a
vegetable tonic and will injure no one, but
on the contrary do all good who use them.
They help circulation, restore lost appetite,
and greatly promote the action of the diges-
tive organs, and never fail to counteract the
bad effects produced by the change of cli
mate or water. Travellers should not do
without them. They are pleasant to the
palate, and will invigorate and strengthen
the whole system. Try one bottle-it will
put new life in you, and make you feel that
thereisa cure for your case. We know they
are the best Bitters ever offered to the world.

Remarkable Letter in the Rich
mOnd Enquirer-The Enquirer's
TeesDOnse.
In THE TRENCHES, March /. 1865.

In THE TRENCHES, March /, 1865
MEssRs. EDIToRs': - We are alarmed.
What means all these rumors of the city?
Not of Sherman or any successes over him;
not of Sheridan, or his advance, or how
Early has been defeated; not of war, or
rumors of war. Butwhat are those rumors
Of Senatorial committees approaching the
President, to submit terms of submission?
Is that true? Are any Senators and Repre-
sentatiyes whipped ? Have they approached
the President to press upon him any such
base propositions? Who were the Senators
What were the propositions? Answer these
questions, directly and boldly. BRIGADE.
The Enquirer, III response, says it cannot
answer all questions asked, for want of in
formation, and then goes on to say:
That there is party of whipped seceders
in and about Richmond it cannot be denied.
They are the cowed and cowardly miserable
wretches who brought the war upon the
country, and who would now surrender to
the enemy. We have no doubt but that
there was plan on foot to force Mr.. Davis
to resign, and that Mr.. Stephens had con-
sented to resign, too, and that Mr.. Hunter,
as President of the Senate, would become
President. The plan has, we hope, mis-
carried. At any rate, the conspirators NAV
understand that if they should succeed,
they will have placed barren scepter in
their grasp, thence to be wrenched by un-
tileal hands, no son of theirs succeeding.
Robert E. Lee, by and with the consent
of the army and people, will grasp the scep-
ter they may wrench from the hands of Mr..
Davis, and WELD it for the safety and Sc
curity OF his country's liberty and indepen-
dence. No Cabinet of whipped seceders
shall capitulate this country into slavery,
and crouch at the footstool of Mr.. Lincoln.
Congress has utterly failed. 1t is incompe-
tent, and is doing much injury. 1t has
neither the capacity nor courage, and is
wanting in firmness and resolution. 1t is
unfit for revolution.
The very men who were foremost to Sc
cede, are the first to surrender. A single
head and single arm are now needed, and
if Congress would consult its patriotism it
would intrust all the power with the Presi-
dent and General Lee and 90 home. The
Virginia State Banks can furnish one or two
millions in gold, and this will secure the
supplies now needed. Let the Legislature
promptly act and turn the gold over to
General Lee. Congress is defunct. We no
longer look to it for any aid in this struggle
Negroes have been withheld until it is now
nearly too late. Currency is beyond their
power to help. Those who now talk of
compromise, mean submission to subjuga-
tion.

Rebel Accounts.

WASHINGTON, March 10.--The Richmond
Sentinel of the Sth contains the following:
Nothing has occurred to disturb the quiet
prevailing below Richmond, but if the
weather continues good there will be active
operations in the vicinity of this city in a
short time.
Nineteen car loads of Confederate pris-
oners arrived in Baltimore Saturday even
ing.
The Richmond Examiner of the 9Th inst.
says: For the past ten days there has been
little firing on the Richmond and Peters
burg lines. 1t will require yet week of
sunshine and wind to render the roads pass
able and put the ground in condition for
any extensive military movements.
We have very important piece of news,
which comes direct from New Orleans and
implies the prospect of serious difficulties
between the United States and France. 1t
is the confirmation of previous reports in
the northern newspapers, to the effect that
the United States Consul at Matamoras, who
was friendly to the Juarez Government has
been ordered away by Macmillan. 1t is
also said that steamers from the United
States for that port are now refused.
Both Houses of Congress have passed a
new tax law and repealed the old one.
The Wing of the Sth says Sherman is
played out. If our readers do not hear or
read of any good news from South Carolina
it is a non SeQuitur that there is none to COM
municate. In few days they will hear
where Sherman is and what has befallen
him. Let every body be patient. Sher-
mans opportunity to establish a military
reputation has fled, and we will soon hear of
his discontinue and disgrace.

Evacuation of RichmOnd-T'he
Capture and Burning of Column
IL,

New YORK, March 1O.-The Herald's
correspondence from the James says that
there are additional indications of Lees in
tention to abandon Richmond. 1t is well
understood the removal of Government
stores has been going on for some time
Large numbers of troops have recently
been sent, it is presumed, to Lynchburg.
The Augusta COnstitutionalist of Feb II,
says the 18th and 18th corps with Sher-
mans command has baggage train three
miles long.
The 10Th corps became drunk and pill
laged Columbia, burning the entire length
of Main street. Sherman ordered the pill
layers and burners to be shot. Two or three
hundred citizens left with the Yankees.
Most of the people remaining are obliged to
live in huts, and their condition is dreadful.
Sherman left 200 head of beef cattle for the
sick and wounded, and gave arms to the
citizens to protect themselves from negroes.
Every article of subsistence was carried off,
cellars, out-buildings, &C., being searched.
The city was shelled furiously before TAX
ing possession.
The same paper says there are 5000 loco
motives and cars penned up at Charlotte.
1t says Sherman will of course destroy this
stock. They were heavily laden with stores.
The Southern Express Company saved all
its valuables, but the mails have been lost
everywhere.
A Charlotte correspondent of the Rich
mond Whig says Sherman's advance on
Columbia was unexpected, sudden and sur
prising. 1t found all unprepared and he
cool enough to do anything. When his
guns were heard in the city public officers
for the first time began to think of remov-
ing Government stores, until fianked out of
their position on the opposite side of the
Congaree, when they fell back again. The
citizens then began the work of getting off
the stores, but the time was too short and
much was left. The worst feature of the
whole scene was the plundering done by
Wheeler's cavalry. This was done most
Systematically, as if they were trained to
stealing.

sheridan.s Fight with Early.

New YORK, March 10.-The Heralds
correspondent says Early was found near
Waynesboro on range of hills, with five
pieces of artillery in position. General
Custer dismounted two regiments as skirm-
ishers. In the rear side of the road were
two solid regiments. The movement upon
the enemy's works was made at once. The
rebels fired one volley and then fled like
sheep. Their attempt to escape was fruit
less, as Custer closed his lines upon them
and surrounded nearly the entire force
General Early did not attempt to rally his
men, but rode off on fleet horse, attended
by an orderly. The victory was almost a
bloodless one, as we only lost ten or twelve
killed and wounded

SAMBURG FOR HEALTH-All physicians
sickness. Were pure wines easily to be
procured there would be less fever and
disease. Hooper, in his Medical Dictionary,
remarks:-"The general effects of wine are
to stimulate the stomach, eXhilarate the
spirits, warm the habit, quicken the circu-
lation, promote the perspiration, &c. In
many complaints wine is universally ad-
mitted to be of important service, especial
ly in convalescency, in which it is found to
be n valuable tonic and restorative; and in
many cases it proves of more immediate
advantage than the Peruvian bark. Deliri-
um, which is the consequence of irritabili-
ty and defective state of the nervous en-
ergy, is often entirely removed by the use
of wine." We have now pure and excel
lent native vintage, Speer's Samburg Port
Wine, made from the Portugal grape by
Mr.. A Speer, of New Jersey.
1t is said to be the most reliable wine in
the market, and guaranteed to be eXclu-
sively prepared from the Samburg Port
grape, without admixture of sugar or alco-
hol. Physicians prescribe it as superior to
Port in debility, languor, and in cases of
prostration of strength. 1t is also an ex-
cellent restorative for Indigestion. Numer-
GUS letters have been written by lawyers,
lecturers, and distinguished divines, speak
ing in high terms of appreciation of the
healthy an invigorating properties of the
Samburg Port Wine.-Republcan.

The Charlotte Bulletin on 1hc Sit
uatiOn-AI Quiet in Front of
Richmond.

WASHINGTON, March 1O-The Charlotte
North Carolina, Bulletin Of the 1st in an
article OH the situation, says: If the army
of Lee defeated that of Grant at Spottsyl-
vania and around the Virginia capital, when
the Yankee commander counted his 225, 900
men, and we had less than G0,000, why may
we not severely punish the two combined
Federal armies whose aggregate will be
less than 10000? The resources of Vir-
ginia have been held in reserve. Notwith-
standing more than a month has elapsed
since the graneries Of Georgia and portion
of South Carolina have been cut off, Lees
men still live on full rations, and there is
no reason to apprehend that they will fail to
enjoy plenty to the end. Under the
guidance Of Heaven they are more
than a match for the willy Sherman,
and we have never felt more confident than
at the present hour, that he is destined to
come to grief. Let our people, then, be
patient until our arrangements are COM
pleted and our plans consummate0. Day
will break at last, through the darkest
gloom. The mighty reaction that must
follow victory will compensate us for all
the present reverscs, and, although bleed
ing, our country will still be found the
arena,'with spirit unquenched-the sword
with which she has so long defended the
principles OF humanity anu justice and in
dependence.
The Fayetteville Telegraph assures its
readers that it is not the wish of the Govern
ment to conceal anything from them, but
to prevent, if possible the Yankee force in
Wilmington, S. c., from learning anything
of the movements of each other Their
means of communication are very limited
and uncertain. 1t is ourpolicy not to make
improvement for them. We hope the con-
diton of affairs will be so materially
changed in few days as to enable us to
dispense with this reticence. All our in
formation thus far is of an encouraging
character.
The following is from the Richmond Dis
patch: All remains quiet on the Richmond
and Petersburg line. Though yesterday
was the fourth day of consecutive dry
weather, still Grant does not carry out his
threatened burst from his left upon the
South Side railroad; he has erected num-
ber of observatories along his Hatcher's
Run line, and from there his signal corps
take daily observations of all that passes in
our camps, which is much. We have every
day fresh installments of rumors in relation
to Sherman. His movements are unknown.

MURDER AT NEwARK.-We learn that
Henry he, daguerrean artist, was mur-
dered in the outskirts of Newark on Tues
day night. Some six persons have been
arrested on suspicion of being implicated
in the affair. 1t was reported on the streets
of Newark the other evening, that a beer
saloon keeper, named S. Kratchien, had
confessed to committing the deed. The de-
ceased was badly mutilated about the head,
neck, face, breast and back with club or
some heavy instrument.

An Advance ExPected-The Rebel
Ram StOnewaII.

NEW YORK, March 10.-The CONNER
cial's Hatcher's Run correspondent of the
9th says the roads having become favorable
an advance toward the South Side railroad
is hourly looked for, though no orders have
yet beer issued.
The Commercial says letter from an
officer on the Niagara, dated Ferrol, Spain,
February 49,, states that the rebel ram
Stonewall was lying close by that place.
The Spaniards allowed her in to make lin
tied repairs, and the commander had asked
permission to leave her in port while he
went to Paris to annul the contract of sale
and throw her upon the hands OF the for
mer owners. The Niagara was eager to en-
gage her, notwithstanding the odds of iron
against wood. ,
