ment, such as taking possession of forts,
arsenals, navy yards, ships, the robbing of
Custom Houses, firing on the [" Star of the
West" when she was sent with provisions
for Major ANDERSON. All this had taken
place, and six States bad passed edicts of
secession, before President LINCOLN was in
augurated, and while the government was
still in their possession, yet these impudent
Williams, have the hardihood to assert that
g we are not responsible for the war" Nor
did the government amidst these open as
saults upon her rights resist them. So that
no act of hers could offend, or aggravate
the hatred of her enemies. She submitted
quietly, and waited patiently, for the res
toration of reason among the rebels and
A. H. STEVENS, the rebel Vice-President, de-
clared in his Montgomery speech that the
government of the United States had given
them no cause for complaint Yet they
make war upon her, and are still not re-
sponsble for it. Well, this is one way of
reasoning We have the satisfaction of
knowing that it is not believed, and SHER-
MAN is taking HUNTERS falsehood home to
roost. The government is defining its pos
ition, and this vile petifogger of secession
is ruled out. Right, justice, and truth are
arbitrating her cause, and the verdict is,
liberty, equality, and Union, now and for
ever inseperable.

CoNGREss-The Senate sat all Friday
night, and then went into Executive session
The Civil Appropriation Bill was the main
feature, to which several amendments were
made. The report of the Conference Com
mittee, on the Amended Enrolment Bill,
was concurred in. A number of private
bills were passed About A. NJ, on Satur-
day, the Senate had a brief recess Upon
reassembing the bill for the coming of
three-cent pieces was passed. The question
of admitting the Senators from Arkansas
went over. While discussing thebil reg
ulating Commerce between the States. the
special matter being an amendment that no
citizen shall be excluded from any public
conveyance on account of color, the hour
Of twelve drew near, and preparations
were made for adjournment. Vice Presi-
dent Johnson was introduced Mr.. Hamlin,
the retiring officer, made a brief address,
the oath of Office was administered to Mr.
johnson, after some remarks by him, and
Mr.. Hamlin pronounced the Senate adjourn
ed sine die. The Clerk Immediately read
the proclamation for an extra session, the
new members were sworn in, and the Sen
ate in a body joined in the ceremonies OF
the Inauguration of President Lincoln.
The House was also in session all FRIDAY
night. A bill was passed regulating the
disposal of coal-lots on the public domain
1t was voted to print 35, 900 copies of the
report of the Commission on Flax and
Hemp; 10000 of the amended internal rev.
enue act, and 80, 900 copies of the Agricul-
tural report for 1864 The House concurred
in the Senate's joint resolution that this
Government will never recognize the rebel
debt on any condition. By vote of So to
81, they non-concurred in the Senate's am.
endment to the joint resolution, changing
from three to fifteen per centum ad valorem
the duty on printing paper. The House re.
fused to lay the resolution on the table, and
asked a Committee of Conference. The
Army Appropriation Bill was passed, omit
ting the section to compensate the Illinois
Central Railroad for doing Government
transportation The Senate bill removing
all disqualification of color in carrying the
mails was passed. 4 resolution was adop-
ted requesting the revocation of a military
order requiring that all colored persons
leaving the District of Columbia shall have
passports. At Ills A. NJ, the House took
an hour for breakfast. On reassembling, a
few unimportant bills were passed The
bill to organize Government for the Indian
Territory was put over. The Committee of
Conference on the Miscellaneous or Civil
Appropriation Bill made report. The
question left unsettled was that introduced
by Mr.. Davis, of Maryland, exempting ci,
villains from trial by dourt-martial and mill
tary commission The contest on this point
consumed the session, and while calling the
yeas and nays on an unimportant motion,

ker then delivered an eloquent address, and

THE CHANGE,
Lives to fight another day"

Now that the conquering armies of the
Union make the tottering cause of the reb.
els, daily more visible, the spiteful, sneer.
ing, boastful words and tones of the rebel
organs, are wonderfully changed. They
now tell of SHERMAN's glorious march thro
their territories, the fall of Charleston, the
probable taking of Wilmington, of Raleigh
of Mobile, and even of Richmond, without
promising one severe thrashing, or killing
repulse, to the yankee armies We hear
nothing now about the impregnability OF
Fort Fisher, of the preparations made tc
receive TERRY, GILMORE, and SHERMAN with
bloody hands and hospitable graves" And
our Northern democrats, the sympathisers
no longer tell us that the South can
not be whipped. We hear no more from
them Of the superior armies, Of the super
ior equipments, of the superior discipline, ,o
the superior tactics, and strategy of the
rebels. No more do they tell us that our
victories are humbugs, and give promise
when the truth is known, they Will turn out
to be disastrous defeats to our armies--
Some of them seem to have lost all inter
est in the contest, such too, as used to be
very busy, and were ever ready to give
glowing accounts of rebel valor and sue
cess. From these travelling, noisy cunning
democrats, who s0oo, and knep, long before
hand, how this struggle would end, one car
hardly get word. They don't read the
papers, they appear to be afraid the great
SHERMAN, and his great army, will be en-
gulphed. Poor fellows, they begin to see
:" meme, meme, tetel, upharsin," ON the wall
but no matter so that the war is ended, the
government is saved, the union perpetuated
and freedom is universal.

FROM HA RRISB L RG.
HARRISBURG. March 3. 1865.


On the 22d, Washington's birthday the two
Houses met at 10 o'clock and after the journal OF
the House was read the Senators came into the
Hall to listen to the reading of Washingtons fare
well address. The document was well read by the
clerk of the House. and was sorry to see so little
attention paid to it great majority of the mem
bers were reading newspapers, writing letters,
franking documents talking, and some were
passing round the room. We have all read that
address, perhaps many times still respect to the
occasion, and veneraton for the author should in
duce to listen to it whenever read upon public
occasion, with at least becoming stiffness. After
the clerk had concluded, Mr.. WEIsER, of Lehigh,
moved that five thousand copies in English and
three thousand in German be printed for the use of
the House. KELLEY, of Washington, moved to
strike out the German, this motion was strongly
opposed and was finally voted down, by 20 nays
and 10 yeas. Some one then moved to print one
thousand in French, voted down. DoNNELLY
moved to print one thousand in Irish, voted down.
by SO to 35. Miller of Philadelphia, moved to
add, the same number of Jacksons farewell adj
dress, agreed to. THOMAS, of Philadelphia, moved
to print one thousand in Welch five thousand in
French, and one thousand in Italian not agreed to-
Mr.. BUDDEMAN moved too add five thousand III
Latin voted down. ALBANIAN, of Dauphin, moved
to print five thousand copies in English of Jack
sons Notification Proclamation, and one thousand
of Gen. Sherman's proclamation to the people of
Atlanta, not agreed to- The resolution was finally
amended SO as to have ten thousand in English
and three in German of the two farewell addresses
During these proceedings, telegram was read in
which it was announced that Fort Anderson was
taken. This called forth a spirited applause III
which one side of the House participated with
great earnestness.
The Speakers desk was ornamented with an ele-
gantly executed portrait of Washington, which
was presented by Miss ANNIE l.. CoILADAY, pupil
in the "School OF Design for Women" located in
Philadelphia. The painting is creditable alike to
the institution, and the young lady who presented
it. But little except local matters attended to.
There are several important bills yet to be acted
upon, but unless attention is directed to them
they will hardly be reached if the adjournment
takes place on the oath of March as it is now ex-
pected. The committee ways and means has
reported the finance bill, it has not been printed
so can give no information relative to it, this bill
will occupy two weeks or more then the revenue
bill prepared by the committee of last years egisa-
ton, has not been touched. | presume that there
will be week recess to allow the members to at
tend the inauguration this will not leave much
spare time before March oath.
Soldiers coming in rapidly, not a day passes
that companies do not pass out of the camp for
the front, and frequently several companies per
day. Y.
