I now ask leave to introduce a bill. Mr. Stuart (of Michigan). I object to it, and move to take up the River and Harbor Bill. The Presiding Officer (Mr. Cooper of Pennsylvania). The other bill is not disposed of,--the third reading of a Bill for the Relief of Betsey Nasht. The bill was then read a third time, and passed. Mr. Sumner. In pursuance of notice, I ask leave to introduce a bill which I now send to the table. Mr. Stuart. Is that in order? Mr. Sumner. Why not? Mr. Benjamin (of Louisiana). There is a pending motion of the senator from Michigan to take up the River and Harbor Bill. The Presiding Officer. That motion was not entertained, because the senator from Massachusetts had and has the floor. Mr. Stuart. I make the motion now. The Presiding Officer. The Chair thinks it is in order to give the notice. Mr. Sumner. Notice has been given; and I now, in pursuance of notice, introduce the bill. The question is on its first reading. The Presid

ly are Southerners, and he says he concluded to throw up his commission and join our side. Which way is he going? He wants to get to Richmond as soon as he can. He will be back shortly and I'll introduce you to him; perhaps you can give him a helping hand. I'll do what I can, replied Webster, with a mental reservation. What is his name? He gave me his name as Doctor Gurley: he brought a letter from a friend of mine in Washington, and I believe he is carrying some messages to Mr. Benjamin, the Secretary of War, which he is very anxious to deliver as early as possible. Well, we may be fellow-travelers if he turns up in time to go over with me, said Webster, who was already attempting to devise some plan for intercepting the delivery of the dispatches which the titled deserter was carrying. I have made all arrangements, replied the landlord, and will send you both down to-morrow in time to get the boat. All right, said Webster; and now, as I have a little time befo

nd a better market South than North for my goods. My desire, he continued, is to get through to Richmond, where I hope to be able to effect contracts, with Secretary Benjamin, to furnish my goods to the Confederate government. How did you get through the Union lines? asked the General, still, evidently, a little suspicious on an enterprise to furnish their goods in large quantities to the Confederate government, provided they could succeed in making satisfactory arrangements with Mr. Benjamin, the Secretary of War. They returned to the hotel, where they had a long talk, completing their plans. It was arranged that my operative should leave his hor They then took a train for the rebel capital, and by noon found themselves in that city. The day following his arrival, in company with Leroy, he called on Mr. Benjamin and succeeded in closing contracts to furnish large quantities of their goods to his government, and at prices that were highly satisfactory to Mr. Leroy, who

d-cloth, and tied with red tape. It had evidently been dropped by one of the ladies, and its loss had escaped her notice. Picking it up, he examined it carefully by the light of the fire, and to his surprise he found that it was directed to Mr. Benjamin, the Rebel Secretary of War. As all things are fair in love and war, Timothy lost no time in secreting the precious document about his own person. He had no objection at all to assisting two ladies to reach their husbands, even if they were Immediately upon his arrival, he repaired to the office of the Secretary of War, and delivered the letters which he had brought with him from the North, and which were to be forwarded to their various addresses by the Confederate authorities. Mr. Benjamin warmly congratulated Webster upon his success in passing through the Union lines, and for the information which he brought. He furnished him with passports, which would enable him to journey unrestricted and unquestioned throughout the Southe

He carefully examined the fortifications that had been erected, and the number of guns they contained. He talked with the private soldier and the civilian, and in fact, on his return to Richmond, was as well informed with regard to the military resources of the enemy as were the generals themselves. Rejoiced at his success, and carefully noting what he had witnessed, Webster prepared to return North. Visiting the War Department and the office of the Provost-Marshal, he received from Mr. Benjamin and General Winder a large number of letters and several important commissions, which were to be delivered and attended to after he should arrive in Washington and Baltimore. Leaving Richmond, he safely passed the pickets and outposts of both Federals and rebels, and reported to me. His trip had been a most important and successful one, and the information he brought was most invaluable. Webster seemed as well pleased at his success as were either General McClellan or myself, and afte

e advanced thought of the day on every subject was widely disseminated. On the other hand, the leading Southern men, and the leading Democrats from both sections, were kept under constant observation and criticism. Such men as Davis, Toombs, Benjamin, Hammond, Chesnut, Hunter, Mason, Slidell, Douglas, and Breckenridge were kept constantly before the country. Their actions were questioned, their speeches were analyzed, and their motives were impugned. Nothing they did was allowed to go unchallenged. Every sentiment they uttered was tested by the Constitution as well as by the eternal principles of justice. Benjamin was unsparingly denounced for his plea in the Senate in behalf of slavery as the necessary condition of labor in the tropics as well as in the Southern States. He was mercilessly excoriated for favoring the annexation of Cuba in the interest of that barbaric and aggressive institution.
