As the enemy's reports of the late great battle cf Murfreesboro' come to hand, the extent of General Bragg's victory becomes more apparent. All the boastful despatches that Rosencranz may write cao never re-capture the prisoners, arms and artillery carried off by General Brsgg, nor re-build the wagons burnt by Gens. Morgan and Wheeler. These substantial e-vidences of victory attest "how well the gallant Bragg accomplished the work, and-prove that though compelled to yield -the battle-field, he did so at his own tiim and io the perfect order of a General who, for his own good reasons, prefers resting his exhausted j troops to risking the.hazard of another days' battle. The battle of Murfreesboro', both to General and to men, deserves to be ranked among the preat battles that have' shed their lustre over the Confederate States. If it was net ns successful as we desired, it was nevertheless far more destructive to the enemy than it at 6nt appeared, and has put an end to si! advance of Rosencranz, if it does not result in compelling him to seek safety nearer his base at Na.hvillo- This victory is by far the inft.t complete won by our arms in the Southwest. We do not regard the falling back of General Bragg as detracting the last froin the glory .of. our arms or the importance of our victory. It is impo5.MbIe to form a judgment upon this victory except upon the statement of Gen. Bragg and the reports of the eucmy. But from a com parison of these sources of information, notwith standing the letters of Ropencranz to Ilalleck, and Ilalleck to Kcscncrariz, the facts are fully nsude out that the enemy will be mined by one more such -victory as that chimed by them at Mur frtesboro. . mi - PROM THE WEST.

" i view of the military position tof affairs, which is . .t i.lJ C - 1 On the Atlantic coast the enemy are still confined to the proteciing cover oi tneir neeis. a review , 'of our hi,-:ttry shows that tht war has entered its', - n " third and Jant stage. The first effort -wss te re- store the Lnion, and has been abandoned; the i second was ro conquer the South and porern it ? s a dependeery, but this, too, has proved iuipoai- b!e, and bus been abandoned; he third design is ! to detrty and plunder whatthey could not sub- j spine nor resources ior continuing it into tne nexi year on so extensive a scale. W e desire peace, ! but will continue the war at anv sacrifice, until our right to self-goveri.mcnt, aud life sovereignly and independence of the States are vindicated aud established. Foreign relations are then reviewed. Oar right to recognition is shown by reference to the past history of our States, some of which were recog nized as independent by Great Britain in the trea ty of peace of 1783, and had been previously allies in war with ranee. - When our Comiijisj-ioncrs demanded recognition, they wjre told that foreigu j I :tluS j i Governments could not decide between cii:9:c statements mad? by our Government and th the United States, in respect to our. mutual rela tions, and that. Europe would simply recognize us as belligerents, and preserve a strict neutrality. This apparent refusal to decide was in reality a decision against us, because we were thus unjustly deprived of diplomatic intercourse on the same footing as our enemies. The question of the blockade is discussed, at length. Its invalidity is ffhown, as tested by the principles of the Cungress of Paris, io 1856, and the whole conduct of the neutrality of nations is summed up, so as to show that they have enforc ed all neutral rights that affected Ud injuriously, and refrained from asserting those that would in jure the United States. The correspondence between the Courts of France, Great Britain and Russia is adverted to. The language of the French despatch is construed as a formal aduiision of our ability to maintain our independence, aud justifies the hope of an ear ly recognition. The barbarities committed by Northern troops are referred to, and the action taken in relation to the atrocities committed by Generals McNeil, But ler and Milroy explained, and the opinion is ex pre?ied that the infamy of their conduct must be shared by their superiors, who have in no one in stance punished the perpetration of these crimes. In regard to Lincoln's proclamation; he pays our detestation is tempered by profound contempt fvr his imrotent rage. The action -of the Govern ment will be- confined to delivering up all com missioned officers hereafter captured in the ten States named in the proclamation, to be tried by the States under laws which punish those that ex cite eervile insurrection. . The proclamation is treated as possessing great significance in a politi cal point of view It proves what were the de signs of the Republican party from the beginning, notwithstanding tbeir efforts to conceal them by false declarations. The proclamation is next considered as a guar antee ag.inst the possibility of reconstruction. It is also treated as a confession of inability to subjugate the South, which Europe' will be bound to consider a justifying our immediate recognition, and as an intimation to the people, of the North that thrj must submit to a final seperatioa of the States. Adequate taxation is recommended; also, the issue of bond) to be guaranteed by the States The message, which is the longest yet issued "by the President, embraces a comprehensife review of the whole internal and external relations of the country. It is confident, even triumphant, in tone, and closes with a tribute to .our women, without whese sublime sacrifice it dcelares that our f ueeess would have been impossible. CONFEDERATE CONGRESS. In consequence of the absence of a quorum in the Senate, Congress did not complete its organi zation on Tuesday, and the Message of the Presi dent, which it was expected would be laid before the public wts not sent in uniil Wednesday. The House of Representatives was organized by the chefion of Hon.. Mr. Curry, of Ala., Speaker joro tetnpnrt. An important bill was in troduced by Mr Vest, of Missouri, which provides for placing in. the military service of the Confed erate States all persons residing within the limits ot the Confederacy, claiming to be citizens of the State of Maryland, after the 1st day of February. This resolution was debated by Messrs. Vest, Foote? Baldwin, and Hilton, all of whom concurred in the opinion that something should be done to bring into service, or remove from our midst, not only those who claim to be citizens of Maryland. but others who have received certificates of foreign ! citizenship irom Consuls in pur hnes, and not ac- j ereditrd to our Government. The bill was finally referred to the Judiciary Committee. Mr Foote offered resolutions that the South consent to no plan of reconstruction of the former Union; nor armistice, so long as Lincoln's procla mation is unrevoked; nor will she ever negotiate, except upon the basis of unconditional recogni tion; that she will never consent tn any alliance, commercial or otherwise, with the New England . .a. a ctarcs; tnatsne would he willing to negotiate wiih the States bordering on the MisvL-sippr, which maybe willing to etipulate and enter a league offensive and defensive, when the party at the North shall overthrow Lincoln's power; offers guarantees to the North-westarn States for the free navigation of the Mississippi, whenever they de clare their inclination to withdraw from the war; and presents indnvmnta in Qt.i.. .r Uhc Rocky Mountains to withdraw from the Fed- era I Union, etc. TlIK I ANRF.ES IN ELIZABETH ClTT, N.

This, togother with three new banks (what is to constitute their capital, for of course they can't get specie, I can- not imagine) n-ill increase the evil of art inflated currency. .State bonds can be disposed of at 20 per cent, preminm, and it- seems to me clear, that the funds required by the State should be raised by bonds. Besides the premium, it would avoid de- j predating Confederate notes that amount of State notes must oi necessity proouce a turther depre ciation of the currency; whereas State bonds would absorb that amount and leave the currency as it is. If the Legislature could be prevailed on to resort to bonds, instead of treasury notes, and would also guarantee its rateable part of the debts of the Confederate States, it would certainly tend to support credit and possibly the depreciation of the currency would get no worse. But let the I States issue treasury notes, and Congress continue F .' a 0 1 . 1 . . A to ljtsue Uontederate notes, ana as a roarieroi courses general bankruptcy must follow! ten dollars would not then buy as much corn or meat, as one dollar will even naw." Before offering a few remarks upon the first of the above very important subjects, we may say that the brief argument on the second seems to us conclusive. So long as the people are ready to purchase State bonds for the amount which the State must borrow, and especially while a premi um can be had for them, we agree with our friend thai the further issue of Treasury notes is a very questionable policy, for the reason stated by bim. J We would except, however, the small amount re quired to keep an adequate supply of change notes those necessary nuisances. The question of provisions and exempts are manifestly the two most important that can en grnee the attention ol Congress or the Legislature. The necessary number of soldiers must be had, or the great cause is wrecked, and neither the sol diers nor their families will be allowed to raise crops on our lands, for the law of the yankee Con gress confiscates their property, and the spirit of the yankee invaders shows that they mean to ex act the penalty. On the other hand, it is also of vital importance that sufficient food for the fami- Llies of the soldiers, and for the soldiers themselves, should be made. How both objects are to be ac complished it is for Congress to-ilecide. Without having ourselves means to express a very decided opinion whether the" army can spare a man to every family where there are three children under 10 years of age, we can ssy most decidedly that it would be a humane and judicious mcasure.iythey can be spared; and we ope that the suggestion, now made by our correspondent for the first time, so far as we know, will engage the ' attention of Congress, which may have the means of obtaining information as to the effect upon the army of such an exemption. We regret to infer from the use of the phrase "a set off," that our correspondent objects to the exemption made by Congress of one man upon every plantation where there are 20 negroes. Not having ourselves any plantation with 20 negroes, we may claim to be disinterested (as he clearly is) in expressing the opinion that such an exemption was a measure of true, policy, not with reference to the 'slaveholders themselves, but to the entire communities in their immediate vicinity. Non Slaeholders are quite as much interested in hav ing slaves propei ly fed and clothed aid disciplin ed, as the owners themselves;' for without proper provision aod control, slaves are an evil to them selves and a nuisance to all, both rich and poor, who reside near them. We have not lieretofore expressed this opinion, only because there are other things that might be said on the subject that we do not think it judicious to state publicly. Kentucky. The Legislature of 'Kentucky assembled at Frankfort on the 9th,mnd the mcs, say;e of the Governor was received. -' Governor Robinson recommends that Kentuckyreject the abolition proclamation of President Liucoln, and protest against any interference with Jer . State I- policy as unwarranted by the Constitution. -He thinks the proclamation giving freedom to the slaves in the rebellious States inflicts upon- Ken tucky a fatal though indirect blow. He says the saddest factof the proclamation will- be to fire the whole South into one burning maas of inex haustible hate, destroying all hopes of restoring the Union, which is only possible by adhering to the Constitution as it wan. He further says that the most alarming aspect 'of the proclamation is the usurpation of rbe powers of the GoverrTment by the President, under the plea of military necessity. He advises the Legislature to place en record their protest against the proclamation. Oca Frixnds in Canada.

ThL soldier is Lamar Fontaine, a private in the "Campbell Rangers," 2d Regiment Virginia Cavalry. He is the eldest son of the Rev. Edw. -r i . m: 'u- j.j t t:h.- . . ! - . ...:! v'.i ! fjl LUC luiii Arjiiiuw ui a iocioii L' La viuiiibig, til the first battle of Manassas, and who is bonorably " ; mentioned in ueneral .Beauregard s report of it. He was born iu Washington county, Texas, in 1841, white his parents resided tuc-re, and was named after his father's intimate friend, General Mirabeau Lamar.' Previous to the present revo lution Lamar Fontaine lived in his native State, was educated in Austin, and at the Military Acad emy in Bastrop, and learned practtianlly the most essential.duties of a soldier as a Texas Ranger and hunter on the frontiers of Western Texas, where he was unsurpassed as a dexterous rider and skillful marksman. ' As soon ay the war com menced he came to -Mississippi and enlisted as a private inthe first company organized for . the de fence of the State, the Mississippi Rifles, cf Jack son, commanded by Capt. Robert Smith, the heroic Col. Smith who fell at Mumfordsville, Ky. Under this excellent officer he served at Fensa cola, as an infantry soldier, and then as an artil lerist until he was transfered to his .father's company in the amy of the Potomac. At the battle of Manassas he was severely wounded by a cannon shot, which passea .under nis ieet, bruising one of them badly. He was unwilling to be discharged, and his father procured him a transfer to Capt. Alexander s Company (1 Jd Regiment Virginia Cavalry. Under Generals Jackson and Ewell, he distinguished himself in the battles of Front Royal, Cross Ke3'8, and all the actions of the Valley. Near Winchester, iu company with a young gentleman from Campbell county, Va., private John Moore, he performed a feat without a parallel in the annals of war, and which is mentioned with the highest commenda tion in Gen. Ewell's official report. These two young men, unassisted and alone, charged a piece of artillery planted on the Winchester turnpike manned "by eight of the enemy, killed and wound ed two of their number, drove the rest from the gun, and brought it off in triumph to their com mander. Near Strasburg a shell exploded against his horse's head, blowing it to atoms aud breaking Lamar's thigh. While his comrades were carry ing him from the field, another shell wounded him severely in the hip: Soon after his wounds were dressed, while lying under a tree, a minnic ball penetrated tbe back of his neck, passed down near his spine and lodged where the surgeons have not been able to find it. Since then his right leg and side have remained paralyzed. He recovered sufficiently to obtain leave of absence from the hospital in Charlottesville for several weeks, which he cpent with his company in'per forming military duty with his crutches tied to his saddle. In this condition he fought seven battles Hazel River Bridge, Warrenton Springs, the Rappahannock or Waterloo Bridge, the bat tles of the 29th, SOth and 31st of Manassas, and the battle of Germantown. While the enemy. were shelling Warrenton Springs, Gen. R. H. Anderson wished to ascer tain what division of the army occupied the north bank of the Rappahannock opposite his position. He voluntected to bring him the necessary in formation, 'swam the Rappahannock, surprised three 6f the enemy's armed pickets, and brought them across 'the river to the General, who gave the crutched hero a certificate complimenting his skill and gallantry. At the battle of Hazel River, a minnie ball broke one of his crutches, and one of the enemy's horses, without "a rider, . a a .a a y .a ran against him aud broke the other, in the second day's fight-at Manassas, he had a horse killed under hin, and' another tha day after' at the battle of Germantown. While pursuing the enemy's cavalry, a pistol shot penetrated his cap, grazed his temple, and knocked him from his horse. Sihce he'has been pronounced incompe tent to perform military duty on ; account of "his wounds, awd while acting as a volunteer on hos pital furloughs, , he has captured six prisoners without any assistance, and killed many of the enemy. Iu different battles he has had six horses killed under him, and I have no doubt has killed more of the enemy than any soldier ifi our army. -Mobile Register. S3-We card of M: notice in .

Loftin. e should not have thought it necessarv to notice the card in this public manner, but for the comments of the Standard We understand the whol matter is this: Loftin was arrested and sent to Salisbury upon evidence, deemed sufficient by the proper authorities. One of our judges was applied to for a writ of habeas corpus, lie grant ed it, not being aware, as We understand, that the writ had been suspended at Salisbury by Presi dent Davis, under an act of the last Congress. When the application was made to the Com - mandant of the Post or Salisbury, for the de livery of Loftin, acting under orders, he refused to give him up to Mr Badham, who, we believe, is not a sheriff nor empowered on that occasion to act in the capacity of one. : W gather from Mr. Badham's card that no return ot the writ was maoe to Judge banders; we mean such a return as would authorize him to take further steps io the matter had he been dis posed to proceed in it. , ; We are informed thatr in a conversation be tween Judge Saunders and the counsel in the case, the counsel- remarked to the Judge that it was as well the matter should drop, for that tbe testimony in the ease was of such a nature, that the : prisoner would have .been custody by the J udge. remanded into We gather from Mrl Bad ham's card, that Mr. j Holden telegraphed to a gentleman in Salisbury to inform Loftin that the writ had been issued in his. behalf. vW e suppose Mr. Holden and Mr. Loftin had some correspondence or communica- i tion upon the subject before any steps were taken j in the matter; and from the result of the whole affair, we are justified in inferring that political ; a v. i c . t : capital wm .mwuwu w oe mzue irom nr dj be made from tt ' f ;..t.afV 41 I ; -. 1-nnvn to th r9rt', fliat tK Brir ( f habeas corpus ws suspended at Salisbury, at the i time . the writ waa applied for, they must have i known that the Commandant at the post would not deliver liOftin.

I am glad to meet with you on such an occasion, and, aside from the compliment this implies, I accept it as a testimonial that there are those in this great metropolis of the United States who are ready, after the experiment of twenty monfhs, to turn their hearts from bloody threats to words of compromise.

Resolutions of the Republican members of the United States Senate. The subjoined manifesto has been unanimously .adopted by the Republican members of the United States Senate, representing more than two-thirds of the Northern States, and constituting a-large majority.: The "Herald" characterize it as "one of the moat important State papers that has appeared during the War." First. The only course of sustaining this Government, and restoring and preserving tbe national existence, aud perpetuating the national integrity,, is by a vigorous and successful prosccn tion of the war the same being a patriotic and just war on the "part of this nation,- produced by, and rendered necessary to suppress, a causeless nnd atrocious rebellion. Second. The theory of our government, and tbe early and uniform practical construction thereof, is that the President should be aided by a" .Cabinet Council agreeing with him in political principles and general policy, and that all important public measures jind appointments should be tho remit of their combined wisdom and deliberations. This most obviously necessary condition of things, without which no administration can succeed, we and the public believe does not now exist; and therefore such selections and changes in its members should be made as will sccuro to the couutry unity of purpose and action in all material and essentul respects, more especially in the present crisis of public affairs. . Third. The Cabinet should bo exclusively composed of statesmen who ar the cordial, resolute, unwavering supporters of the principles and a . purposes first above stated. Fourth. It is unwise and unsafe to commit the direction, conduct or execution of any impor tant military operation or separate general command or enterprise in this war to any one who is not a cardial believer and supporter of'the same principles and purposes first above stated. The above is intended as a demand on Lincoln to ehange his cabinet. In the Federal Congress, on thetUh inst , Mr. Norton, of Missouri, proposod to disband both armies, arrange and ask for a National Convention to the present troubles and restore the Union. Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, characterized Mr. Norton's speech as a lame and impotent apology for the most wicked and infamous rebellion, and asked how it was to be done.
