mery, Pine, Broughton, Tubby and St. Gall streets, over one hundred buildings must have been destroyed.--This is but a rough estimate. It will be several days before the entire damage can be ascertained. Miscellaneous. The quota of New York State, under the new draft, has been reduced 25 per cent. Accounts from Cape Fear river say that, on Sunday last, the gunboats of Admiral Porter's fleet were pushing up that stream towards some of the upper rebel works, which it was supposed they would attack. Our Havana correspondence states that Mr. Zuluetta, one of the Cuban millionaires, has been sentenced to be banished from that island on charge of being implicated in the slave trade with Colonel Arguelles, who, it will be remembered, was extradited from this country a short time ago on the demand of the Cuban authorities. The Rhode Island House of Representatives passed a resolution requesting the Governor to make an application for the postponement of the draft.

nate bill to provide for the employment of negroes in the army, the question being on Mr. Orr's motion to reconsider the vote by which the amendment was agreed to. Mr. Haynes opposed the amendment, and, in the course of his remarks, gave his views upon the last campaign in the Southwest. He favored General Johnston's restoration to the command of the Army of Tennessee. Mr. Semmes spoke at length in opposition to the restoration of General Johnston to the Army of Tennessee. Mr. Wigfall spoke in favor of General Johnston's restoration, and reviewed all his campaign from Manassas to Atlanta. The motion to reconsider was agreed to, and the amendment was concurred in and the bill was then passed.

The House, refusing to concur, tendered a conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses. On motion of Mr. Lyon, of Alabama, the House went into secret session. When the doors were opened the House adjourned.
George Washington (search for this): article 2
Washington's Dying words. When George Washington bequeathed to his heirs the sword he had worn in the War of Liberty, he charged them, "Never to take it from the scabbard but in self-defence, or in defence of their country and her freedom; but that when it should thus be drawn, they should never sheath it nor ever give it up, but prefer falling with it in their hands to the relinquishment thereof"--words, says an eminent Englishman, the majesty and simple eloquence of which are not surpasment thereof"--words, says an eminent Englishman, the majesty and simple eloquence of which are not surpassed in the oratory of Athens and Rome. Let every soldier of the Confederacy engrave those last words of Washington upon his heart. Let them be inscribed in letters of gold upon the capitol of every Confederate State. Let the pulpit proclaim them; let the mother learn them to her children; let them be emblazoned on every banner; ring in every trumpet call, and flash from every sword.

E. Lee, the Washington of the second American Revolution, upon whom, from the beginning, all thoughtful eyes have been fixed as the future Deliverer of his country. Of one thing we are certain, the moral strength of Virginia is as steadfast and immovable as her own Blue Ridge. She did not seek this quarrel; she avoided it by every honorable means of conciliation, by counsels of moderation, by offers of peace. But having taken her ground, she is going to maintain it. She may be overwhelmed by brute force; she may be subjugated, confiscated, exterminated, but she will never be a traitor to herself. Her "moral strength" cannot be broken, and in that "moral strength" she will yet prevail. She has no dream of sheathing the sword of Washington whilst the foot of an invading soldier pollutes her soil. Believing, hoping, daring, she will fight on to the end; calmly, valiantly, confidingly, trusting in Providence to vindicate the Right, and true to herself, her country and her God.

was unsuccessful, and, pending present conferences, it is not probable that any Congressional action will be taken in reference to the matter. A telegram from the Army of the Potomac gives an account of the arrival of Messrs. Stephens, Hunter and Campbell in the Yankee lines. The request, under flag of truce, for admission was forwarded to headquarters. It says: Owing to General Grant's absence from City Point, no reply could be sent immediately, but the matter was referred to Washington, and, after several communications had passed between our authorities and the commissioners, the permission was granted, and a deputation, consisting of Colonel Babcock, of General Grant's staff, and three other officers, were appointed to meet the gentlemen and escort them within our lines. The deputation reached the appointed place, and were soon joined by Mr. Stephens and his companions; and, after a few minutes spent in the interchange of civilities, the party came within our lines, a

, and to putting an end to the disasters which accompany it, by proceeding to negotiations for peace, being entirely in accordance with the disposition and character of the august head of the Catholic Church. I do not hesitate a moment in bringing it to the notice of the Holy Father." His Holiness, who has been most deeply afflicted by the accounts of the frightful carnage of this obstinate struggle, has heard with satisfaction the expression of the same feelings and sentiments. Being Vicar on Earth of that God who is the Pastor of Peace, he yearns to see these wraths appeased and peace restored. In proof of this he wrote to the Archbishops of New York and New Orleans as far back as October, 1863, inviting them to exert themselves in bringing about this holy object. You may, then, honorable gentlemen, feel well assured that whenever a favorable occasion shall present itself, His Holiness will not fail to avail himself of it to hasten so desirable a result, as it is hi

The resolution met with some opposition on the ground of its exclusiveness, and the resolution was laid upon the table. Mr. Tomlin offered a resolution, which was agreed to instructing the Finance Committee to inquire into the expediency of abolishing the Public Guard of Richmond, and reporting a bill creating a substitute. Mr. Deane, of Campbell, introduced a resolution fixing the day of adjournment sine die on the 23d of February, which lies over under the rules.
