Mr. Foote presented a preamble and resolutions setting forth that the confederate Government, which has been in existence for more than two years, has successfully demonstrated its ability to maintain the independence then declared, and that during that period had made every effort consistent with dignity, and compatible with the usages of civilized nations, to procure recognition at the hands of the principal powers of Europe, which efforts hav

se of Representatives.--House met at 12 o'clock. Prayer by Rev. Mr. Crumley. Mr. Fonte, of Tennessee, obtained the floor with a view to a personal explanation. He had presented the resolution relating to the contract for flour with Haxall, Crenshaw & Co., upon information which he believed warranted him in asking for an investigation. He had no reply to make to a publication in one of the morning papers. The information which he now possessed, satisfied him that the frauds were much more only been deterred from publishing the contract itself because it was believed by a high official of the Government — to wit, the Commissary General--that such a course would be prejudicial to the public interests. Very respectfully, Haxall, Crenshaw & Co. Hon. Jas. Lyons, House of Representatives.

the defendant should fall or refuse to do this, an attachment would be issued against him, and he would be arrested and committed to jail until he should comply with the law. According to our practice, this is one of the most effectual means of enforcing the payment of judgments, and is frequently resorted to; but the plaintiff in this suit cannot avail himself of this remedy against Claiborne, because he is an officer in the military service of the Confederate States, and as such is exempt from arrest under civil process. The remedy of Isaacs is not, therefore, complete and adequate at law — irreparable injury to him might be the consequence of refusing to grant an injunction; it is, in my opinion the only complete and effectual remedy, and for that reason ought to be granted. In conclusion, the learned Judge referred to the following authorities: Caborn et ats vs. Bank of United States--Wheaton, 74; 24 Rob Price co. 233, 236 Crenshaw vs. Slate River Company--6 Rand., 215.

George sports a good looking Crenshaw cloth uniform, and his appearance is well calculated to deceive the public. No such person has any authority to collect the war tax, and our citizens should beware to whom they make their payments. The officers are on his track.
