Election of Senator in Alabama. Montgomery, Aug. 22. -- Hon. Robert Jemison, Jr., was elected to-day to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Yancey in the Confederate Senate. Mr. Curry was not a candidate, and the position was yielded to Jemison as an act of party magnanimity. It is believed by many of Curry's friends that he could have been elected. Jemison was originally a nullifier, and though subsequently a co-operationist, has been a firm and uncompromising supporter of the war. Jemison was a member of the Secession Convention, and has been for many years a leading member of the State Legislature for Tuscaloosa county.

Speech of Mr. Jemison, the Successor of Mr. Yancey in the Confederate Senate. [Delivered on retiring from the Alabama Senate, August 24th, 1863.] Senators: My election to the Confederate. States Senate renders me, from the commencement of the term of service ineligible to hold a place amongst you as a member of this body. I shall, therefore, this morning tender my resignation as such. Before doing which, however, I tender you my resignation as your presiding officer, that you may at once proceed to fill my place. Elected to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of the lamented Yancey, whose eloquence and perseverance in the cause of Southern rights contributed more largely than the efforts of any other man to bring about our separation from the old Federal Union, and to whom, up to the period of secession, as well as upon the question of secession itself, it is well known that I was opposed in my political views, it may not be deemed inappropriate to briefly state m

rrible captivity. He knows that well enough, but he does not shrink from the task before him. Had the case been reversed — had the prisoners been Yankees, and the prison a Confederate prison — doubtless his ears would not have been so acute, or his tongue so ready to denounce. But the prisoners are mere rebels in his eyes — his Government, or the head of it, or the Minister who writes the Queen's speeches, has already called it a "civil war, " in spite of all the information furnished by Mr. Yancey and Mr. Slidell, thus taking the decision of the question into its own hands — and therefore no mercy was to be expected. It may have been his miserable duty to denounce the plot and the plotters. But would it not have been a little more consistent with humanity to have first ascertained its existence? In the meantime, we do not maintain that a plot laid by Confederate prisoners in the middle of Lake Erie, surrounded by Yankee ships of war, in conjunction with persons in Canada — dis
