ted with debates, addresses and high-sounding resolutions. The passage and enactment, four months ago, of any law, putting into the field all able-bodied men, the representatives included, would have done for the physical and moral strength of the Confederacy more than four months of continuous eloquence. It is vain now to deplore the past, but we may at least invoke the representatives of the people to spare the world any further inflection of speeches which do not answer the arguments of Grant and Sherman, and of appeals which are not distinguished by the Demosthenian attribute of action.

Unless the representatives of the people take the field themselves, and secure a position so close to the enemy that the can hear what they say, we have no hopes that he will put his fingers in his ears

the whole concern, --have leave to stay out in the cold till next December. Bridgeport, Tennessee, is reported to have been almost entirely destroyed by fire on Tuesday night last. Tennessee has ratified the new State Constitution. The vote in the city of Nashville was one thousand three hundred and forty-nine in favor to only four against. The returns from four towns adjacent to Nashville, casting nine hundred votes in all, are unanimous in favor of the new Constitution. Governor Fenton, of New York, lately made to the Secretary of War an offer of the services for one hundred days of ten regiments of State militia to garrison the lately captured Southern forts. This proposal was referred to General Grant, and by him declined. The Louisville Journal, speaking of Lee's army editorially, says: "We have reason to say that the rebels are expecting very soon to startle the whole country and astonish the world. No matter what our reason may be, it is a good one."

The news. The Richmond and Petersburg lines. Everything remains quiet on these lines, and is so likely to continue while the rain and mud lasts, and of these there seems to be no end. There is no doubt that Grant will make another heavy movement on our right so soon as the condition of the roads will permit. From the South. A telegram from Fayetteville, on the 1st instant, says that, at that time, no Yankees had advanced in that direction from Wilmington. We publish this morning a full account, from Yankee papers, of our evacuation of Wilmington and the enemy's occupation. We have nothing from Sherman. He is presumed to be still in the mud of South Carolina. The tax bill. The bill to levy additional taxes for the current year engaged the attention of the Confederate Senate throughout yesterday, the pending question being the adoption of the amendments to the bill proposed by the Senate Finance Committee. The amendments will probably be agreed to, but

utiful wreaths. A full Palmetto tree, with its leaves and stems, was noticed by many observers. As the last wreath of smoke disappeared, the full form of the rattlesnake in the centre was remarked by many as it gradually faded away. From Grant's army — what Lee's movements are to be. The last reports from Grant's army are chiefly speculations about apprehended movements of General Lee: All females and others not connected with the Army of the Potomac have been ordered to leaveGrant's army are chiefly speculations about apprehended movements of General Lee: All females and others not connected with the Army of the Potomac have been ordered to leave the lines.

Our troops are necessarily watchful, and will not be caught "napping." Deserters who came into our lines, on Thursday and Friday, say that
