The Alabama Treaty.

The treaty negotiated by Mr.. johnson
with the British Government being rejected
the subject has to be taken up afresh by
the new Minister, Mr.. Motley. He will
proceed to business with clear understand
ing as to what the Federal Government will
not agree to. On tho other hand, if he is
guided by the debate in the Senate at the
time of tho rejection OF the treaty he will not
press treaty at oil for that debate looks
like an abandonment Of tho whole subject,
and an adjournment of the question to some
future opportunity for revenge. Mr.. Sum
nor, who seems to have been the organ of
the Senate, declared that the question of the
injury inflicted upon the national sover-
eighty by the conduct of Great Britain could
not be settled by "mere payment for ships
destroyed" Mr.. Fessenden endorsed Mr.
Sumner, and Mr.. Warner, also concurring,
said the true policy was to drop the whole
subject of settlement, and content ourselves
with the advantage we would have over
England in the future"
Mr.. Chanler, however, while concurring
with tho general expression of other speak
ers, grew quite belligerent. He Indignantly
assailed England for her conduct. and de-
clared his belief that there was not room
enough on this continent for any nation
which had so grossly insulted the United
State. He had long believed the struggle
would como over Canada, and he believed il
| would come in his day"
This is certainly warlike. 1t is, further.
more, encouraging to see the utter contempt
with which the idea Of healing the national
wound with golden plaster is treated by
the Senators. Money is at discount, and
there is such thing as honor.
Mr.. Motley will find himself in dilemma.
The ship-owners would rather be secured
their losses at once than to suffer postpone.
ment on account of the question of honor
and the threatened "revenge." So they
will likely give tho American Minister some
trouble. And should England be willing to
apologize in some sort, and pay some money
we are sure it will not be considered humil
iating to take the latter along with the
former.

Congress md the Charleston Sisters OF
Mercy.

Mercy.
The Washington papers publish the fol-
lowing letter of Sister MaXavier to the
Committee on Appropriations, withdrawing
her papers: S
GENTLEMBN: BE so kind as to return to us
Jail our papers and letters, as we are now
Iabout to return to the destitute homes Of
the orphans, in whose cause we have been
here since December lust, laboring in vain,
lalthough we have furnished your honorable
body with ample and undoubted testimo-
mails OF the devotion with which our sisters
ilabored to supply proper nourishment and
their captivity in :he hands of the enemy,
at time, too, when none of you, gentle
men, could reach them. Our city was then
blockaded, and the prisoners had no kind
friends near to administer to their relief,
while on their hard beds of sickness-to use
their own words, as expressed in their
various letters-''the Sisters of Mercy came
as luinistering angels to their relief, bring
ing to them palatable food" &c.s &c. But
why recapitulate what you have before you
in their own handwriting? Suffice it to
say that we are now quite worn out, having
been here for the last three months without
q dollar in our pockets, wherewith to defray
our expenses or to pay our passage home to
Charleston. That was not the treatment we
gave your soldiers and officers while'i in our
midst, although they had no claim on us
save that Of charity and humanity. Is there
no return to be expected from the Congress,
for whom these brave men fought and suf-
fered? All. mol The sisters may beg their
way home, and pay their expenses rs best
they can when they reach ther desolated
home. But they are Catholics Tha.
solves the question. Yet these sisters never
inquired whether the Union prisoners were
Jew or GENTLE, Catholic or Protestant; it
ufficed to know that they were strangers
and wounded, sick and in prison. We sent
over cotton to Nassau and purchased gro-
ceries and medicines, which we shared
among these poor suffering prisoners, who
are now represented by you, gentlemen, in
that Government which they have restored
with their best blood
Deign, gentlemen, to excuse this intru-
sion, and accept the regret which we feel
that you, who have children of your own,
have not taken home to them the blessing
and prayers of the destitute little ones whom
your missiles of war have left without
home! But "their Father in Heaven" will
yet hear their cry.
! We have the honor to be, gentlemen, very
respectfully, SISTER NJ. XAVIER,
Secretary, &c.
