The Rebel Ram stonewaIl-KIrby Smith

The Rebel Ram Stone newaIl-kirby Smith
ana jeff. Davis.
It appears that the rebel pirate Stonewall
left Nassau on the 9th and reached Havana
on the 18th inst, and that she was still in that
port, watched by q few Of our gunboats, on the
18th inst Hence the report from General
Candy that she had left Havana on the 1lth
inst, ostensibly for Galveston and fight, Is
incorrect Is it not more probable that when
che sails from Havana that it will be under
instructions from JeT Davis, and with the OBJ
iect of picking him up along the Florida coast
and thence convey him to Texasf
We are strengthened in this theory by
the information from South Carolina cor
respondent on the line Of fight pursued
by Davis, that he had sent forward instruc-
tions to Kirby Smith, in Texas, to hold out
and still maintain his struggle for the con-
federacy. What object could Davis have In
such instructions, except the object Of joining
Smiths army, and using it to establish himself
in Mexico, in being compelled to retreat from
Texas? Moreover, when captured in his wife's
morning wrapper, Davis was pushing for the
Florida coast, and, of course, with the expecta-
ton of a ship there to carry him over to Cuba
or to Texas. This is the most plausible theory
that we can offer concerning this otherwise
foolhardy cruise of the rebel ram Stonewall.
AS soon as information reaches her that
Davis !. has been caught, and that the
whole game of rebellion is up, she will in
all probability return to Europe and be cold.
She is now nothing but pirate, out of the pale
Of all law, and if captured her commander
would of course be hanged. If she is not i'm
mediately taken, then, by some Of our cruisers,
we shall probably not hear any more of the
Stonewall at this side of the Atlantic.

Such is the daily sale IN that Southern city.
The bulk Of 1t goes TO the army, in which Of
course the HERALD is preferred from ancient
experience that It is The only paper that con-
tains tho news But the fact that the people in
what papers they do buy indicate the. same pre-
ference shows well enough that the people Of
the Old North State know what good news
paper Is.

OF bounty to soldier.--
Reorganization OF the Army.


NEW York, Dec. 2l.-Last night a
the Hudson river, on 10th avenue rail-
road. The cars were shattered and a
number of persons injured, though
none seriously.
The Worlds special saws:
The House Military Committee had
uuder consideration yesterday the re-
concentrations contained in the report
of the Secretary of War. The commit
tee have before them upwards of fifty
petitions from all parts of the country,
asking for equalization of the bounty
to soldiers. Those who entered for one
and two years received little II any
bounty, while those entering at later
period, for one, two and three years,
received three hundred dollars. The
committee will bring in h'll equal
1zing the bounty among all TIC soldiers.
The committee has also before them
several propositions to reorganize the
army. General Grant has prepared a
bill for the purpose, which will receive
careful consideration of the committee
after the holidays.
The Republican of last evening has
information that the Imperial troops in
Mexico are approaching Vera Cruz with
view to embark for France. This
seems to be supported by no detailed
facts.
The House Judiciary Committee are
arranging bill, in accordance with the
recommendations of the President, pro-
viding for the holding of the United
States court in Richmond, which court
It Is expected will have the trial of JEFF
Davis.
The Herald's dispatch says: Between
seventy and eighty Missfssippians of
little personal or political note were
pardoned to-day.

RESOLUTIONS for the Trial ma T9uniah.
ment OF Le0GlInr RebeIa.
WAsHINaToN. nac

WARRINGTON, Dec. 20.
The following are the resolutions snb-
mitted in the House to-day by Nj.
Lawrence, of Ohio, viz:
That public justice and national ga
curity demand that as soon as NAV be
practicable, Jeff. Davis, a representative
man of the rebellion, should have a
fair and impartial trial in the highest
court tribunal of the country for trea-
son most fragrant in character by him
committed, in order that the Constitu-
ton OF the country may be fully vindi-
Gated, and the truth clearly established
and affirmed that treason is a crime.
and that the offense may be made infa-
nous, and at the same time that the
question may be judicially settled,
finally and forever, whether y State Of
its own will has the right to renounce
its place in the Union,
"ReSOtUed, That public Justice and ma
donal security demand, that in case of
the conviction OF said JEFF. Davis, the
sentence of law should be carried into
effect in order that the Constitution
and the laws may be fully vindicated
and faithfully executed, and the truth
clearly established that treason is a
crime, and traitors are to be punished. !"
"ResotUed, That in like manner and
Tor like reasons, such of the most Gull
paDle OF the chief instigators and con-
splrators of the rebellion as may be ne
cesSary to satisfy the demands of pub
lie justice, and furnish security for the
future, and those criminally RESPONSE
BILE for murder and for the Starvation
OF Union prisoners OF war, should be
tried and punished for the high crimes
of which they have been guilty"
"ResoLVed, That justice Should not
fail of its purpose, and that all who
are guilty of, or responsible for, the as
sassination of the late President, and
the great offenders during the recent re-
bellion, guilty of and responsible for
the murder and starvation OF Union
prisoners of war, as well as those quill
ty of, or responsible for other unparal-
elled violations of the laws of warfare,
are amenable to, and should be tried
convicted and punished by military
tribunal authorized by law and sane
toned by the common laws of war.
and the usages of civilized nations,
whenever and SO far as may be neces-
sary to secure the ends of Justice"
ReSotved, That the Committee on the
Judiciary be instructed to inquire what
legislation, if any be necessary, to pro-
vide juries for trials for treason. for
wr1ts OF error, and to carry into effect
the purposes of the foregoing resolu-
tons, and that said Committee report
by bill or otherwise"
