Yesterday Evenings Edition,
REBEL CONGRESS.

NEW YORK, Jan. 81.
In the rebel House last Thursday, there
was an interesting debate on the bill TO put
slaves into the army. During the debate
JEFF. Davis was severely denounced by
members.
Mr.. Turner, of North Carolins, said he
looked upon the bill SIS project to arm
the slaves. The President had declared in
favor Of it. When he gets them in the
army as tesmsters and cooks he can make
them drill or perform any other duty. He
would be willing to surrender the slaves
for independence. The only objection he
had to making soldiers Of slaves was that
they would not fight on our side. They
would prove the enemy's best allies in ac-
complishing our overthrow and destruc.
ton. Mr.. Turner said the country had
been too long and too often deluded and
deceived by Presidential plans, projects and
prophesies. No one Of his prophesies had
been fulfilled. No one of his projects or
plans had proved successful. fet the
President proposes new and dangerous
schemes with unsbated confidence in his
own judgment. When Susanna, Corporal
Trim and the servants sat down by the
kitchen FIRE for a talk Corporal Trim said
he had been so often deceived in his own
judgment that he now had doubts of its
accuracy when he knew he was right. The
President had been much oftener deceived
in his judgment than the corporal, and it is
time he had learned some mistrust of his
judgment. He must not look for an un-
limited support either from Congress or
the country, when he proposes the wild
and mad scheme of arming the slaves. The
country was beginning to learn that all
the Abolitionists were not in the North,
and our own President had proposed sbo-
lition in 8 way that created suspicion as to
his soundness.
Mr.. Turner said it wss time that Con-
gress should express their opinion upon
srming slaves, and stamp upon it the in
delible stigma of public abhoTrance.
Mr.. Leach, of North Carolina, said he
was unutterably opposed to such measure.
He believed that the day on which such
policy was adopted would sound the death
knell OF our cause. It would make st.
Domingo Of our land.
Others from South Carolina and else
where expressed similar views.
The question was not disposed Of

Smith, commanding the rebel Trans Mis-
sissippi Department, has repeatedly refused
to comply with the orders from Richmond
directing him to transfer his troops to the
east side of ths Mississippi river.
The opponents of Jett. Davis among his
own people grow bitter daily in their de-
nunciatiOn of him, aud it is admitted that
his humiliation was the design of Congress-
ionsl action to place Lee at the head Of the
armies.
The Union rsiding force up the ChowAn
river, North Carolina, in the direction of
Weldon, is said to number between 5000
and 10000 men, including infantry, caval-
ry and artillery. .-

Notwithstanding the assertions of the
Richmond papers to the contrary, General
Singleton did not leave that city until
Saturday last, arriving here to-day. This
evening he was in consultation with the
President. 1t is understood he mainly
confirms Blair's story that the rebel lead
ers are not at present prepared to negotiate
on the basis of submission to the Union.

be taxed by indirection on a valuation equal

that commission from jeff Davis consist
ing of Vice President Stephens R. NJ. t.

between Mr.. Blair and Mr.. Davis that the

chiefly consist of an amnesty to all offend
ers and a withdrawal of the Oonfscstion

A trip of thousand miles through the
heart of the West awakens kindling
thought of the greatness of the Republic.
The West is the Empire: fact unacknow-
ledged In the East, because the East knows
not the West. But an imperial traveller
soon psreeiyes that the East Is not the
country. New York and New England
are but the thumb and forehnger; the
West is the rest of the hand.
A Western visit IN summer is best for
seeing the country in winter, best for see.
ing the people. And are they not the
heartiest, friendliest, most hospitsble of the
humau racer What HScotch welcome"
may be, we know not; but if better than
Western welcome, it is better thsn plain
man desires. Jostle a Westerner in the
street, and at once you are acquaintance
meet him next day, and you are old friends
A shake of the hand in the West has more
grippe in it than between New York and
Bangor. Child Of the Esst, the West il
the chief crown of the parent. The uni
versal New England element westward is
not only the best part of New England
for only the courageous, the energetic, and
the conquering have had tie will TO quii
Eastern homes for Western prairies. Thus
the early pilgrims to New England hav,
their truest sons In the later pilgrims from
New England. A Yankee, therefore
does notcome to his fullest stature in Yan
keeland the grown Yankee Is the West
erner. At the East he is 3 geranium in

Tough, the Comptroller, thst the deceased
had violated his marriage engagement
with her ;-he had done her no harm, but
was engaged to her from childhood snd
cantinued his correspondence with her IN
til about q month before his marriage.
She said she asked no sympathy for her
self; the sorrow to be felt was for her aged
parents She charged that the deceased
had betrayed her from home and friends
and placed her in q house of i'll fame
which determined her TO do the deed.

NEWS ITEMS.
NEW YORK, Jan. 81.
The principal topic of discussion at
present is the increased quota of the city.
Many hard words are used, and all efforts
thus far for correction are Intellectual.
The Post says the shipment of goods
from New York to Mstsmoras has sudden
ly and rapidly increased. Twenty-three
clearances were made for that port in the
month just ended. It is thought that most
of the goods shipped are for rebel use.
The vessels sail under British register.
The Times Paris letter says: Secession
ist papers are trying to create irritation
over the Mexican resolutions of Winter
Davis.
The latest papers of the Federal side
have modified their tone. They all show
that they desire Mr. Seward to remain in
Offcs to carry out his policy of non-inter-
vention and Cancellation.
The Times Washington special says !:
The Committee Of Ways and Means have
received the report of the subcommittee
upon the tax bill. They have not ma
terislly altered the schedule of the tax
bill, simply perfeeting it, with view to its
proper administration in regard to tax on
crude and manufactured petroleum. They
have not changed letter, and only i'm
posed very slight change on crude pc
troleum.
The Post-ofice Committee have before
them a proposition to bridge the Ohio
River at Cincinnati.
1t is believed the Senate will not adopt
the amendment of the Finance Commit
tee, fixing the duty on paper at fifteen
cents.
The HsraIfs Washington special says;
1t is understood in the Senate that the
Military Committee will soon report the
bill for the assignment or dismissal of un-
employed Generals and officers.
FROM RICHMOND PAPERS.
The Richmond Enquirer complains that
that the rebel soldiers ara not paid prompt
ly, while the President, Cabinet and Con-
gross draw their pay as fast as due. It
says the first claims on the country should
be the soldiers pay. They ought to be
the first claimants, and if there be any
short coming let other classes divide it be-
tween them, We could do infinitely bet
ter without the whole State Department
and all its employees than without one sin
gle company OF one of our regiments. We
could dispense with the whole Cabinet far
better than dispense with an equal number
of soldiers in the field. If there is any
scarcity of money let the soldiers be paid
first.
The Sentinel says desertions from the
Yankee army have increased greatly of
late.

The total revenue is g marvellous re-
suit, when we consider that the reductions
in the income tax and in the tea and sugar
duties, and some smaller renaissions of tax
alton, such as the half of the insurance
duties and other little matters. There is
every encouragement to proceed in the
same direction, with only the difficulty that
indirect taxation is now confined to very
few articles, the smaller ones being almost
swept away, and the smugglcr being almost
unheard Of A succession Of years of sue
cess and prosperity shows that we can al
most securely rely upon an income of over
seventy millions sterling, while constant
ly redyeed expenditure proves that we are
not likely to need SO much.
