because the hands in the office had been called off by the militia draft. On motion of Mr. Hill, of Ga., the bill providing for the payment for horses lost in the Fishing Creek battle, was transferred to the secret session calendar. Mr. Johnson, of Arkansas, offered the following: Resolved, That the Secretary of the Treasury be directed to inform the senate whether any and what depositories of funds, he has established at Memphis, New Orleans, and other cities or posts of the C and if none have been established to report to the Senate whether any and what legislation may be necessary to enable him to establish such depositories, so as to secure a prompt supply of funds for the public service at distant points. Mr. Johnson complained that these depositories were absolutely necessary, and that parties were now obliged to travel all the way here from the Southwest when they desired funds for the use of the army, at great expense and delay. Mr. Barkwell, of S.

A Gunrat for City defence. We call attention to the following public spirited and patriotic proposition from Col. Blanton Duncan, of this city, formerly of Kentucky. Col. Duncan was the first man from abroad to tender his services as a leader, with a number of gallant followers, to Virginia and the South. He marched his Kentucky regiment to Harper's Ferry early in the war; he was aid to Gen. Johnson at Manassas, and, one way or another, has been serving the cause since the beginning of the revolution. Certainly our men of wealth will second the proposition of Col. Duncan. At a time like this none should hesitate. The idea suggested is, that we should have a gunboat to carry ten heavy guns. It will cost $700,000. We are authorized to say that $200,000 have been subscribed, If the other $500,000 can be raised. What say our citizens? Richmond, March 17, 1862.

essee, for the prohibition of raising cotton during the year 1862. Mr. Oldham, of Texas, made a stirring speech against filtering away the time of the Senate in useless discussion, and urged that the bill be referred, which was done. Mr. Johnson, of Arkansas, introduced a bill repealing an act of the Provisional Congress, and enacting as a substitute a bill providing that the pay and allowances of deceased soldiers shall be handed over first to the widow, if any, or to the child or cheased persons.--He therefore moved a reference of the bill to the Judiciary Committee, which was done. A message was received from the House, announcing the passage of the bill appointing a Public Printer for both Houses of Congress. Mr. Johnson, of Arkansas, introduced a bill "to regulate navigation of the Confederate States, and to establish direct trade with foreign nations." Mr. Oldham spoke against the bill. Mr. Phelan, of Tenn., asked the Chairman of the Committee of C

Give Aid to the Volunteers. A fine and very full company has just been raised by Capt. Marmaduke Johnson. It is composed of excellent material, and will give a good account of itself when the time for action comes. It is not yet fully equipped, and the assistance of the citizens is solicited to facilitate its early equipment. We hope it will be most liberally aided. The generous assistance of his townsmen will be most cheering and encouraging to the gallant soldier who is about to devote his time, and possibly his life, to the defense of his country. See advertisement.

Human nature. --For the benefit of the people of the present day, we make the following extract from volume three, Macaulay's History of England: It is the nature of man to overrate present evil, and to underrate present good; to long for what he has not, and to be dissatisfied with what he has. This propensity, as it appears in individuals, has often been noticed both by laughing and weeping philosophers. It was a favorite theme both of Horace and Pascal, of Voltaire and of Johnson. To its influence on the late of great communities may be ascribed most of the revolutions and counter-revolutions recorded in history. * * Down to the present hour, rejoicing like those on the shore of the Red Sea have ever been speedily followed by murmuring at the waters of Strife. The most just and salutary revolution cannot produce all the good that has been expected from it by men of uninstructed minds and sanguine tempers. Even the wisest cannot, while it is still recent, weigh q

ness: Two Kentucky regiments met face to face, and fought each other with terrible resolution, and it happened that one of our boys wounded and captured his brother, and after handing him back, began firing at a near tree, when the captured brother called out to him and said, "Don't shoot there any more — that's father!" The press of Kentucky insist that some one ought to be held to an awful responsibility for the deplorable and well high fatal surprised on the morning of the 6th. Gov Johnson and the Nashville Union, documents have come to light revealing the base treachery and vile treason of Ro McKee, while tolerated here as the "strictly neutral" editor of the Louisville Courier.
