65.-the resolutions of Senator Semmes.
The following are the preamble and resolutions in full of Senator Semmes, of Kentucky, introduced into the confederate Congress, on Wednesday, February twenty-sixth:
Whereas, the war in which we are now engaged with the Government and people of the late United States was not provoked nor inaugurated by the government or people of the confederate States, and is now prosecuted and maintained by them only in vindication of the highest and most sacred rights of a people resolved to be free and independent;
And, whereas, the right of self-government, and the right to change, alter, or abolish their form of government by the people of these States, and ordain and establish another, by their authority, better calculated to promote their happiness and secure their liberties, are rights inherited and inalienable, and by them never surrendered, and which they, in most solemn manner, do now pledge themselves never to surrender; and, whereas,

66.-the rebel plan to burn cotton.
A large meeting was held at the African church, Richmond, Thursday evening, February twenty-sixth, to take into consideration and discuss the question of burning the present crops of tobacco and cotton, should the enemy reach the interior.
The Examiner of Friday gives the following account:
At seven o'clock the doors of that building were thrown open, and the crowd, among whom were many ladies, began immediately to pour in. By half-past 7 o'clock the house was filled by one of the largest, wealthiest, and most intellectual meetings ever assembled in this city.
At five minutes past seven o'clock Dr. Marshall, of Mississippi, entered the house, and was greeted by a round of applause, in compliment, we presume, to his spirited speech delivered at the City Hall on Wednesday night. It was a subject of remark with gentlemen who had been frequenters of the African church in old political times gone by, that few of the faces of the vast as

The Union men in East-Tennessee.--The Greenville (Tenn.) Banner of the twenty-sixth February says:
The third Georgia Battalion had scarcely got out of sight of our town until some of our citizens, who had voluntarily taken the oath to support the Southern Confederacy, began to get very bold in denouncing the South and the Southern army, and advocating the Union--some abusing Governor Harris, wishing to see him hung by the Yankees; others saying that some of the Southern men would have to leave here when the Yankee army gets in, and many other expressions which are characteristic of the individuals expressing them.
Col. Ledbetter has not left this country yet, and we give warning to those persons to be careful, lest they may have to face the Colonel in answer for a violation of their pledges to the Southern Confederacy.
This is only a friendly admonition, to keep such individuals out of trouble.
Our authorities are determined to not be bothered with a foe amongst us, while

New-York, Feb. 26.--We are well assured that a proposition from the rebel leaders for a new compromise has been submitted to our Government, and that either the programme or its substance is in the hands of a leading Democrat of our city.
The object of the rebels in transmitting it to him we presume to be the manufacture of public sentiment in its behalf.
The gist of the proposition we understand to run thus:
1. An armistice for a specified term, with a view to a peaceful adjustment of all differences.
2. A Convention of the States, with a view to such a revision of the Federal Constitution as will induce the slaveholding rebels to condescend to govern us in the future on terms nearly as favorable as in the past.
We believe this is all for a beginning.
