ST.. Louis. February 3.-The state Senate
yesterday passed a resolution, almost unanimous
ly. directing the judiciary committee to inquire
into the expectancy OF calling another state con
vention TO revise the constitution and make a
fundamental law embodying the general ptinci-
pies applicable 10 all times and conditions. The
resolution was prefaced by a preamble declaring
the present convention, which does not appear
to answer the expectations Of the loyal people of
the state
The people think that the delegates are vast
ing their time in ~fruitless debates and consider
ing questions for which the public mind is not
prepared.
The convention yesterday and to-day was
mainly occupied by introducing the motion TO
strike out the words white male" in the section
of the constitution defining qualifications for
governor.
The Paducsh correspondent of the Democrat
says:
The rebel General Chalmers 10 a speech a.
Corin,h in the early part of January, accused
Hood Of selling him out, and expressing his op
inion of the confederacy gone under, and telling
bis men they could do az they pleased, he should
have nothing more TO do with them, but should
try to save tie remainder of his property.
1t is is also said that the rebel General Nor
row sent a private message TO a personal friend
in the union army stating that be lost all faith in
the rebel leaders and wished to surrender himself
10 the federal commander, and is now waiting
near Corinth TO ascertain what terms will be
granted AN officer Of his rank volunteering re-
turning to his allegiance
The noted General Roddy is also said TO have
applied for a pardon.

NV YORK, February 3.-Mr. Richardson,
lately escaped from the rebel prisons, publishes
in The Tribune this morning q clear, candid and
moving statement of the condition of our pris
eners in the rebel hands. de proposes, FIRST, i'm
mediate exchange, or, second, immediate special
retaliation upon the rebel officers. informing the
rebel government that they are being subjected
TO the same trestmen that is given our prison
ers. He shows how effective retaliation was in
the cases of SAWYER and Flynn, and the negroes
who were put 81 work on the rebel forts under our
fire.
The following is portion of the article referred
10 in our noon report from the Richmond Senti-
mel
Let US keep clearly in view that independence
10 maintain that which we drew the sword, and
listen TO no suggestion for its compromise at the
price of peace. A peace would indeed be but a
hollow truce and an uneasy armlsuee.
There can be no permanent peace where hon
Or is compromised, or where vital important in
terests are placed in peril. Ii would be madness.
It would be AIN unnatural cruelty after having
fought this battle nearly through, to adjourn il
over for our children to begin it anew.
In the tide OF human events this terrible strug-
gle has fallen 10 our lot, thus far we have me,
it rs men. We need not fear the verdict of his
tory, and the Judgment of tho world. The past
at least is sacred.
Shall we sacrifice all honor through a little
weakness now 7 Shall we sell the measure of
our great fame for any ease which may be
bought short of full success I Shall we by any
unmonly shrinking from dangers which we have
brayed tor four years, and leave a heritage of
blood for our children, for which they will curse
our memories ? Let us stand firmly to our lie
sponsibilities.
The article closes with this explanation
We have extended these remarks to this length

Washington should eHfeeble US with Injurious ex-
pectations.
