The Federal Congressconfiscation — the Negro question.
We make some extracts from the proceedings of the Northern Congress on the 25th and 26th of February:
In the Senate, on Tuesday,
Mr. Trumbull, (Rep.,) of Lt., moved to take up the bill for the confiscation of the property of rebels.
He said there was pressing proceedly.
Within a few weeks the property of a rebel General in this city had been sold, and the proceeds transmitted to him., while we were sitting here and imposing paper currency on suffering soldiers.
The bill being taken up, Mr. Trumbull made a long speech in it favor.
Mr. Pomeroy, (Rep.,) of Kansas, objected to the third section, which provides for colonization.
He thought we could not afford to send out of the country the laboring men and producers; and if insisted upon, he should move to amend by providing colonization for slaveholders, who are dangerous to the country, and whose loss would not be felt.
Mr. Willey, (Union,) of Va., wa
Death of a Volunteer.
--Acting Coroner Richard D. Sanxay was called on yesterday to view the body of Andrew Marsden, aged 32 years, a native of Richmond, but late of Arkansas, whose body was found at the Medical College.
Deceased belonged to a regiment stationed in the vicinity of Camp McGregor, but had been discharged because hopelessly afflicted with dropsy on the brain.
He was taken in the hospital on the 25th of February, and up to the time of his decease, had received every attention and kindness from the physicians in charge.
It appears that although unable to walk, previously, on Tuesday evening he arose from his bed and made hasty strides to his room door, and walked into the passage adjoining, where, unfastening a door, he fell through a dark opening about four feet square, used for conveying articles from the lower to the upper part of the Hospital.
Death ensued from the fall.
The acting Coroner did not deem an inquest necessary.

The members of his company remaining near Manassas, on hearing of his demise, passed a series of resolutions bearing testimony to his bravery and patriotism, his kindness and amiability of character.
Affairs in Europe.
The only allusion we have foundin the late European news to the arrest of Captain Semmes, of the Sumter, is a brief telegram from Madrid, dated February 25th, to this effect: "The captain of the Sumtes has been arrested at Tangler, at the instance of the American Consul at Gibraltar and of the commander of the Tuscarora, who sent to Tangter for that purpose"
This news may be received with distrust.
The proceedings in the British Partiament, briefly noticed by telegraph, have reached us more in detall.
We copy an account of the episode in the House of Commons on the 25th of February:
Lord Palmerston stated that, during the debate on the 21st ultimo, the Secretary for Ireland, Sir Robert Peel, had used expressions which "the O'Donoghue" had considered personally offensive and insuiting to himself.
The O'Donoghue took no notices of the expressions at the time, but he (Palmerston) was given to understand that results out of the House might ensue.

Gen. Price's retreat from Springfield.
The following is the substance of General Sterling Price's official report of his retreat from Springfield, (dated February 25,) addressed to Gov. Jackson, of Missouri.
It furnishes a sufficient answer to the Federal accounts, and affords additional evidence of the mendacity of the Federal Generals:
A bout the latter part of December, I left my camp on Sac river, St. Clair county, fell back, and took up my quarters at Springfield for the purpose of being within reach of supplies, protecting that portion of the State from home guard depredations and Federal invasion, as well as to secure a most valuable point for military movement At Springfield, I received from Grand Glaze considerable supplies of clothing, camp and garrison equipage, and having built huts, our soldiers were as comfortable as circumstances would permit.
I am pleased to say few complaints were either made or heard, Missouri having been admitted as an equal member of th
General Assembly of Virginia. Senate. Wednesday, March 26th, 1862.
The Senate was called to order at 11 o'clock A. M., the President in the chair.
Prayer by the Rev. Mr. Doggett, of the M. E. Church.
Communication from the Executive.
The President laid before the Senate a communication from the Governor, as follows:
Executive Department.Richmond, March 26, 1862.
Gentlemen of the Senate:
Your revolution of the 25th of February last was not communicated until yesterday.
I presume this has been accidental, and I allude to it merely to explain the delay which would be implied by a failure to respond to the resolution sooner.
The resolution requests me to communicate to the Senate any further correspondence with the Confederate officers relative to State arms, in addition to what has been heretofore communicated.
I have received no letters upon this subject, not deemed by me to be informal and private, which were not embraced in my previous message
