A SONG FOR FALL.
That's 1t! that's it!
Just listen bit.
From the folks at the great Marble Hall
Comes word of advice
So sound and so nice
For the present season of Fall.
Button your coat
Up to your throat,
And see that you're warmly clad;
Or with cold in your head
You'll be sick in your bed,
Whlcn Will be exceedingly bad.
And you'll stay in bed
With the cold in your head,
iii you We had enough
Of the doctors stuff,
And all sorts of sick folks diet.
Better beware
AND always take care
To be properly clad for the Fall.
In suitable Clothes
Just such as those
Which are sold at the great Marble Hall.
Sound advice, which all prudent people should fol-

Mr.. DEJARNETTE, OF Virginia, offered the fol-
lowing resolution:
WheredS all nations have ever witnessed with

States, have ever cherished the resolve that any
Richmond Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1862-1865, 1865-01-31

further seaulsilon of territory In North America
BY any foreign power would be Inconsistent with
their prosperity and development and whereas the
invasion of Mexico byfF France has fesulted, as Is
alleged, in the establishment Of a government
founded on tie consent Of the governed neverthe-
less, we have reasons to believe that ulterior de-
signs are entertained against California and other
Pacific States, which we do not regard as parties
to the war now wsged against u.s. as they have mel
Tier furnished men nor money for its prosecution
Therefore, 'at3.s
The Congress OF the Confederate States of Amer
ca do resolve that the time may. not be distant
when we will be prepared to unite, on the basis Of
The Independence of the Confederate States, with
those most interested in the vindication of the
principles of the Monroe doctrine to the exclusion
Of all seemng violations of those principles on the
z ointment Of North America.
Unanimously referred, on motion Of Mr.. AT
KINS, Of Tennessee, to the Committee on Foreign

able and elaborate argument which consumed the
morning hour,

strueting the Committee on the Exchange Of Pris.
oners to inquire Into the 9th of rumors that Con
federates, prisoners of war, at Nashville and else
where are fed ON % hard tack' and water, and &c
suggest means, by retaliation or otherwise, Of pre-
venting the continuance of such barbarism.
On motion of Mr.. LYON, of Alabama, the House
resolved itself into secret session The doors being

Now the Secretary tells that the price id Liverpool s

difference between IL Ia cents in 1860 and 90 cents in

and supply of American coon2 Congress has power to
regulate commerce with foreign nations and the war mas
demonstrated that full supply for the spindes ROW In
