Congress.

The Congress of the Confederacy re-assembles to-day. The times call for action, not headlong and unreflecting, but deliberate, and yet prompt and energetic action. In view of Lincoln's call for six hundred thousand men, it will be necessary to revise the conscript law and extend the list as far as it can be done without injury to the agricultural interests of the country. Wisdom and vigor should be combined in our councils, and, whilst carefully looking to all other interests, a large army should be put into the field without any delay.

It may be necessary, also, for Congress to take some action with reference to retaliating upon the enemy for barbarities and outrages practiced upon our citizens. The public sentiment of the country should at least find a suitable expression on this subject in our balls of legislation.
