NEw YoRE, Jan. A special dis
patch from Washington says adviees
from Riehmond are Of such tsnor as
to induce the belief among certain Off
cials that the rebel Congress, already in
secret session, has passed bill giving
jeff Davis or Gen. Lee authority to call,
order or detail not less than ffty thou
sand slaves for service in the army as
soldiers N
. The Rehmond Erdmiasr of the ID /,
IN reply to the Ssntinsl, was opposed to
the appeal for protection to France and
England in the present weakness OF the
South, and intimates that the article in
the Sentinel demanded from jeff. Davis,
who from panic stricken mind, says il

them of being subjects of foreign pow
ers or of rejoining the United States, he
would choose the former.

A Subject for the Committee on the
Conduct of the War.

There is fine field for investigation
BY the Committee on the conduct of the
War in Lyons campaign in Kentucky,
and General MeCook's campaign against
him. We shonld like Of all things TO
see old Ben Wade walk into his beauti-
ful display Of military operations Il is
commonly supposed that there was as
much Campaigning as campaigning,
on one side, at least Louisville Press.
The escape Of the rebel Gen. Lyons's
forces exhibits an amount of stupidity
on the part of the Federal officer in com
mand Of the Union forces that is un-
pardonable.

NEw Yosk, Jan. 5.-Ths Herald gives
q complete history of the Dutch. Gap
canal II was commenced in August
last, and up TO the time Of the expIo-
sion of the bulkhsad, three regiments Of
white and colored troops we're detailed
for the special work, averaging from l20
to l40 men, aud working daily on an
average Of ten heurs. The canal is 522
feet long, and the greatest width Of ex-
eayation is l23 The width Of the
canal proper ia sc feet At she top, and
As feet at the bottom. At high water
there will be . draught Of lG feet
From these facts some idea may be
formed Of the immensity OF the work.
Supposing, even, that the capal, in con
sequence of the heavy batteries bearing
upon it, cannot be finished At present,
the work, as far as il has been com.
pleted, is so much gained in an enter
prise, which, when it shall be carried oul,
will always be of incaIcnlable advantsge
to the commerce of Richmha4.
The explosion OF the bulkhsad Of the
canal, on the lst inst, was witnessed BY

ehet Coiapse.


NV YoRE, Jan. i.-The Richmond
Sentinel contains very important edi-
torial believed to be from the pen Of
JEFF Davis Secretary Seward has sent
it to all the foreign Ministers as showing
the complete exhaustion Of the rebellion
and thatzconseqnently the rebels are no
longer entitled to consideration as bel
ligerents It says:
"0ur late successes have done much
towards preparing our people for ex-
treme sacrifices. Ii subiogated, the
question is, simply, whether we shall
( give our means for our own use or
/ whether the Yankees shall take it for
theirs, 1t would be more glorious to de-
vote our means to success than lose
them as spOlls for the enemy. Stripped
( Of our property but masters of our Gov
ernment would be infinitely better than
C dispoiled by the enemy and wearing
his bonds Subluga;ion is horror that
embraces all other terrors Troublous
times are upon us. Great exigencies
surround us. We need all our strength
aud all our wisdom Let there be a con-
ference of our wise men. Let there be
caim investigation of our wants.
Then let all obstacles to the employment
of all our resources be removed. So long
as we have man or dollar let
the call for them be honored. 1t would
be adding disgrace TO our misery if we
were overcome, without exhausting our
resources in our defence If the Gov
ernmeBt determines that it needs our
lands, houses, horses money, or our
selves, it must have them. II Provi
! dence condemns us TO 4 master, let II
not be Yankee. Of all the people Oh
earth, we have most reason to loaths
and dread them. Any terms with AM

Y menting on the above, says.
