CONGRESS.


On Friday last the bill to repeal the section in
the Confscation Act which authorizes the President
to pardon those who participated in the rebellion,
was passed by the Senate-ayes 81, nays 7. The
bill had previously passed the House.
So that now, according to the decision of Con-
gress, the President grant no more pardons -
But whether he will submit 10 have his powers as
Chief Executive curtailed in that way remains to be
seen He might have issued general amnesty long
ago, if be had chosen to do it, but from some cause
ne 6as not done so. and consequently has permitted
the radicals to get the advantage of him.
W hen the matter under consideration on
Friday, Senator Johnson of Maryland said ''he had
urged the Executive to issue general amnesty

them Republicans, and some of the best English

GEN. JAS. B. GoRDoN.-In The Land we Love
for January, we find the following allusion to the
wounding and death of Brig. Gen. Gordon, one
of North Cardinals bravest sons:
ave have received verbal account of the
mortal woundng of the intrepid cavalry leader,
General J. B. Gordon. Sheridan attempting
to capture Richmond by a sudden dash in the
rear of Lees army. Gordon had succeeded in
throwing his own command into Richmond and
had taken post at Brooke Church. To encourage
the local troops, by his presence and example, he
rode out to the skirlnisli line with single at
tendant, John Moore, gallant young man of
CASTOR county, North Carolina. The two while
riding slowly along the line of infantry were ex-
posed to the concentrated fire of the enemy.
Gordon at length turned to young Moore and said
calmly, 81 am wounded, bring surgeon to me
here, cannot leave my post to 60 to him"
When Moore returned with the surgeon the local
troops had retreated and Gordon was alone lying
on bis back holding with his unwounded arm the
bride of his horse, which frightened by the
whizzing OF the balls was plunging wildly around
him. Gordon was lifted on him and held 10y his
two friends. The enemy was firing very rapidly,
but with bad aim at the three they retired
Moore received dozen balls i'll his clothing and
equipments, but neither he nor bis horse were
hurt. As they passed to the rear, Gordon's men
hearing of his wound came rushing to him. He
spoke cheerngiy to them all, said that he was
not much hurt, aud exhorted them to hold their
ground Many of the brave fellows never saw
their beloved leader again. The chivarous officer
never led his splendid brigade any more. lie

CoNsIsrENcY.-TheM Memphis Avalanche SAYS
that some Southern people who were SO indepen-
dent as to declare that they did not want to live
in the same town with Federal officials and yam
KEGS, have sent their daughters to the North to
be educated! polished! And this while there
so many excellent female schools and colleges
here in the South That's consistency accord
ing to hypocrisy and humbuggery.
The remark of the Avalanche reminds us that
soon after the war closed there a small class
of southern men who pretended to be unwilling
to agree to anything whereby the northern and
southern people might again be brought together
in friendly and social intercourse-they even
denounced southern men for being disposed to
make the best terms possible with the North.
But. horrible as it may seem, many such per-
sons gathered up their families and FASTENED
North and took up their abode right in the midst
of yankeedom! Such people can brawl and talk
defantly. but when it to the pinch they
skedaddle to the flesh pots of the North Their
love for the South will not permit them to share
the fortunes Of the South or send their daughters
to Southern schools and colleges. Of course. in
their estimation any southern man who remains
here and expects to live and die in the South, and
who is in favor of speedy settlement of
national difficulties the best terms possible, is
a traitor to the South

State of Texas into four Territories, and pro-

were acquired by the common treasure, sacrifice
and blood of the people of the whole Union; and
Whereas, the people iuhabiting said territory
and occupying said lands joined the inhabitants

against the people and government OF the United
States, destroying the practical relations of said
State OF Texas with the government of the
United States to the extent that all territorial
rights and possessions, appertaining to or exer.
cised or enjoyed by the people of said State, be-
came and remain forfeited aud lost to them by
reason of their own acts of treason aud rebellion

Whereas, the people and public authority of

Whereas, said District of Texas has been, and

ES- The Washington correspondent of the

EE The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette says:
II have it upon undoubted authority that Sen
ator Fessenden has, within day or two, emphat-
ically declared his opposition to all schemes hav-
ing in view attempted forcihle DISCRIMINATION
of the present State Governments in the unrepIe-
sented States The utmost extent to which he
will go, when the adoption of the constitutional
amendment shall have been shown to be impossi-
bic, will be to give his assent to an act of Con-
gress proposing plan to those States by which,
if adopted by them, their interrupted relations
to the Federal Government may be fully re-estab-
lished. 1t is understood that these views, which
utterly discard the idea Of territoriaIizing those
States, are concurred in by Senators Foster Sher-
man, Cragn, Fogg, and perhaps others.
"In harmony with the above distinct fact may
mention the report that even the Committee on
Territories in the House, will report bill recog-
nizing the validity of the Southern Stale govern
ments, but proposing a means (doub.less uuaccep-
tabIe) by which they may be restored to repre-
sentalion. The truth is that the whole present
policy of the Radicals, AS l have had occasion
before to remark, can be summed up in a single
word-delay.
