of the fugitives; and if the law says that they must be given up, the money must be given up too. Miscellaneous. The Legislatures of New York, Massachusetts, Maryland and "West Virginia" have ratified the "constitutional amendment" abolishing slavery. Fifty-three Confederate officers, captured by Sherman, including General G. P. Harrison, have arrived at Washington. A lot of one hundred and ten prisoners, all said to be "Mosby's men," captured in recent attacks on the Yankee lines in the Shenandoah Valley, have arrived in Washington. The fire in Savannah is now laid at the door of some of Wheeler's cavalry, who, it is said, had threatened to "burn the Yankees out of Savannah." Mahone's division has been sent to Georgia, according to Yankee accounts. [They found out differently, Monday, at Hatcher's run.] The "guerrillas" pitched into Midway, Kentucky, on the 2d, and, as it was a cold evening, burnt the depot and other buildings to warm themselves.

We have received Northern dates of the 4th instant. Gold was quoted at 209--an advance of five cents. The "Peace" question — the brazen confidence of the Yankees — Forgiveness for those Returning to the "Old flag." The following, contained in a Washington dispatch of the 3d, is the latest known in reference to the "peace movement" at the date of the dispatch. It will be observed that, among the imaginative Yankees at that time, the final conclusion was certain: Peace! peace ! is about the only topic of discussion here to-day, though but little additional light has been thrown on the subject. Those who, yesterday, hooted at the idea of anything coming out of this matter, are to day convinced that there is something in it. The reason for Mr. Lincoln keeping it so quiet is said, by a high official, to be that, if he were to disclose what he knew, the very purpose to be accomplished might be baffled entirely. Advices from Fortress Monroe this afternoon are to th

n Flag and Seal of the House, composed of Messrs. Chilton of Alabama, Rives of Virginia, and Chambers of Mississippi: Hon. Edward Sparrow, Chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, Confederate States Senate: General: While disabled for active service, I have employed a portion of my leisure in trying to improve our national flag, and, after much attention to the subject, and the laws of heraldry, have submitted a design to Congress, which was introduced into the Senate on the 13th ultimo by Mr. Semmes, of Louisiana. The bill which I have drawn is as follows: "a bill to establish the flag of the Confederate States. "The Congress of the Confederate States of America do enact, That the flag of the Confederate States shall be as follows: The width two-thirds of its length with the union, (now used as the battle-flag,) to be in width three-fifths of the width of the flag, and so proportioned as to leave the length of the field on the side of the union twice the width

The champion belt of the English prize ring. --The London Times of the 17th ultimo, speaking of pugilistic matters, says: "The belt, which was manufactured some years ago by an eminent London firm at a cost of £100, subscribed by noblemen and gentlemen who take an interest in the exploits of the prize ring, has been handed over to Wormald, the victor in the late fight, who is now the acknowledged 'champion.' The conditions on which the belt is given are, that the holder must defend his claim to it against all comers for three years, and fight for it every six months if challenged to do so. In the event of the holder maintaining his claim for three years, the belt becomes his absolute property. It was first won by Tem Sayers against the Tipton Slasher in 1857. There were several contests for it, but Sayers succeeded in holding it up to his great battle with Heenan (the Benicia Boy) on the 7th of April, 1860. After that fight, Sayers retired from the ring and the belt was

From the army of Tennessee. A correspondent of the Mobile Register, writing from Tupelo, Mississippi, on the 19th, gives some intelligence about affairs in the Army of Tennessee. He says: "I telegraphed you that General Hood had been relieved at his own request, and that Lieutenant General Dick Taylor would assume command. The latter arrived here upon a special train last night, and will doubtless enter upon his duties as commander-in-chief to day. "The army, rank and file, seem to be perfectly indifferent as to any change which may be made that does not bring back to them their pride and idol — Joseph E. Johnston. "I do not, by this, mean to reflect for a moment upon the military capacity and genius of General Taylor--I am only echoing a still small voice which comes up from the innermost depths of the army, and will not be bushed. "The news of General Hood's retirement from command having spread through the army, though not officially announced, drew tog

ealth, but the House refused to take up the bill. The injunction of secrecy was removed from the following joint resolution, adopted in secret session by both Houses of the General Assembly: "Resolved, That the General Assembly, confiding in the integrity and resolute purpose of the President to use every means in his power to advance the public good, and also confiding in the military skill and ability of General Jos. E. Johnston, and believing his appointment to command would add to the efficiency of our armies and be in accordance with the general sentiment of the people, is of the opinion that the assignment of General Joseph E. Johnston to active service would promote the best interests of the country.
