Yancky (search for this): article 5
Mr. Semmes, of La., announced that the Committee on Flag and Seal were not ready to report the design of a national ensign, as had been promised on to-day. The delay was owing to the future of those entrusted with making the men flag to perform the duty; but that by Friday it would be in readiness for presentation. The Senate then went into secret session; but the doors were after wards thrown open, and the following business was transacted: Mr. Banswill, of S. C., introduced a joint resolution, which was agreed to, authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay the mileage and per diem of members of the Provisional Congress. Mr. Yancky offered a resolution, which was agreed to, calling upon the Secretary of War to furnish the Senate, at its next session with a list of army officers of the Confederate States, both of the regular and the Provisional service. The Senate passed the bill to make Augusta, Ga., a port of entry through the port of Charleston, S. C.
Wool (search for this): article 1
Public opinion demanded that McDowell be instantly displaced from the command of the army of the Potomac.--Neither the President nor Gen. Scott dared to resist the execution of the decree. It is now felt that great injustice was done to McDowell. But a victim was demanded to appease popular clamor, and he was offered up in looking around for his successor, it was found that the selection was confined to a very narrow range. The oldest and most experienced Generals in the army, excepting Gen. Wool, who was then under some mysterious ban, had joined the rebels. The campaign in Western Virginia where McClellan, by virtue of his Major-Generalship, was senior officer, had been successful. He had sent shrilling telegrams, and written imposing dispatches to Washington, describing the successes in his Department. The public, not then knowing that he had neither planned nor fought a single one of the battles he described, and had not even been under fire in Western Virginia, and that

Gladden--the first five not seriously. Gen. Gladden, who commanded the right wing of Hardee's corps, lost his left arm; Gen. Cheatham received a ball in the shoulder, and Gen. Bushrod Johnson one in the side. General Bowen was wounded in the neck, and doing well at last accounts. Colonel Adams, of the 1st. Louisiana regulars, succeeded General Gladden in the command of the right wing, and was soon after shot, the ball striking him just above the eye and coming out behind the ear. Colonel Kitt Williams, of Memphis, and Col. Blythe, of Mississippi, formerly Consul to Havana, were killed. Many other officers were wounded and killed, cut my knowledge of the regiments is too limited, and the confusion too great to procure reliable details. The Mississippians, Tennesseeans, and Louisianian suffered terribly. All the troops behaved most gallantly. Never did men fight better; and yet many of them were raw troops fresh from their homes. The 21st Alabama regiment took two batteries, an

Ranaway. --A Negro Boy, named David, about 20 years old; of medium height; black skin. No scars recollected. He is slow in his movements. It is supposed he is lurking about the city. Has been at the Central Hotel, and has probably hired himself at some of the camps.--Ten dollars reward will be paid for his return if caught within the city, or county of Henrico, $15 if caught beyond.

a juror. Martha Pemberton was fined $10 for permitting her slave to go at large and hire himself out, contrary to law. John Denzler was tried by jury for an assault on Hannah Houck, (his sister.) The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. The following named defendants, indicted for issuing notes of a less denomination than $5, severally paid to the Clerk the costs in their cases, when nolle prosequies were entered by the Attorney for the Commonwealth, viz: R. T. Reynolds, two cases; W. P. Perkins, four cases; Francis B. Hart, six cases; George I. Herring, two cases; Wm. G. Dandridge, two cases; John B. Glazebrook, two cases; A. D. Williams, two cases; T. W. Parker, two cases; Lucien Hill, two cases; R. D. Mitchell, two cases; D. Baker, Jr., nine cases; Thos. B. Starke, eleven cases. The consideration of the gaming cases will be resumed this morning. No doubt the Court or Prosecuting Attorney will soon see the propriety of trying or dismissing these petty cases.

ional law, or any law of Congress, as between the confederate States and said foreign nations. Agreed to. Mr. Sparrow, from the Military Committee, reported back favorably resolution offered by Mr. Leris, of Georgia, asking the Quartermaster-General to an information concerning railroad transportation, with recommendation that it do pass. Agreed to. Mr. Sparrow, from the same committee, reported back favorably the bill for the re- lies of the legal representatives of Adjutant Samuel L. Wilkes. The bill was passed. Mr. Sparrow also reported adversely to the memorial of the Committee of Public Safety of New Orleans, suggesting the propriety of instituting a general committee of safety. The committee asked to be discharged from further consideration of the subject; which was agreed to. Mr. Sparrow, from the same committee, also reported favorably upon House bills to organize a signal corps and to increase the artillery corps of the army, and unfavorably upon th

and the Black-Horse cavalry crossing the Long Bridge, instantly indicated McClellan as the man to supplant Mcllowell. Precisely why they called him they did not know, and I fancy they have not yet found out. But the war had hardly begun, and his department was the only one in which anything had been done; and, forgetting how cheap pen and ink are, they took it for granted that the author of such glowing dispatched must, in fighting qualities, be the ante-type of Frederick, of Bincher, of Wellington, and of Napoleon. So, "click" went the telegraph, and, quick estan express railway train can run, George B. McClellan appeared in Washington, and assumed the command of the army of the Potomac. Having set up an idol, all patriotic men, of high and low degree, instantly commenced offering incense at its shrine — though nobody could tell exactly why, nor has anybody yet found out. Everybody reposed implicit confidence in him; all waited for his nod with reverential aspect; his slightes

elicacies for the sick. They had been duly acknowledged and judiciously distributed to the soldiers. Liberal sums of money had been also supplied, so that the labors of the Committee had been performed without interruption, and the "Depot," as well as the "Soldier's Lodge" --where several thousand soldiers had received gratuitous lodging and meals — was in successful operation. The report of the Committee on Devotional Exercises was then read by the President of the Association; Mr. J. B. Watkins, It gave the history of the rise and progress of the "daily union prayer meetings," under the auspices of the Association, tracing their origin, or rather their resumption, to the day of "fasting and prayer," observed on the 28th of March last throughout the Southern Confederacy. These meetings had resulted in the revival of hope, the restoration of confidence, the confirmation of faith, the love of prayer, the edification of saints, the awakening of sinners; and eternity might unfol
