Howell Cobb on the part of tje Confederate 8tates, and General John' E. a Wool for the Government ; of the ' T?ie first proposition? for an exehange of prisoners was contained in a letter from Gen. ool to Gen. Hoger, under date of the 13th of February, IS62, which proposition was agreed to by our Government, and the basis of a cartel . submitted, which was accepted substantially ; by the representative of the United States. Upon conferring with his Government, however, his instructions were so changed that the end in view'was defeated and the negotiations rather unceremoniously terminated. Mr. Benjamin, however, being confident lhat the Yankees would stand by their! agreement, had already released a num ber of prisoners, including those held a hos tages for our privateersuien. The shrewd Yankees, having accomplished their object in opening negoti i tions with our Government, viz : obtained the release of these hostages, and having in the mean ime, by their victory at Fort Ponelsoo, got the balance of pris oner in their favor, abruptly broke off nego tiations, and refused to. carry out the stipu lations proposed by 'themselves. This pro- ceealng was of course mean ana xansee-iiae, 4 " - mm 1 1 1 but it wts in keeping with the character of the people, and Mr. Benjamin ought to have known them better than to have, trusted them so fat. We give the concluding paragraph of Mr Benjamin's recommendationjn retaliation for the conduct of the Yankee Government : "I make no comment on these proceedings, further than to remark that it eeema Bcarcely possible lhat there should be any further exchange of prisoners during the war. We can parole no prisoners with any expectation of reciprocity, and can have no reliance on any promises that may fie made. I submit, however, that it is but bare justice to ourselves to declare discharged such of our own citizens as are now euDjeciio paroie, ana so to inform the enemy, and thereafter to enter tain no propositions on tnesubjectof theexchange or prisoners, except on aeuvery oi iuoho ueiu vv the enemy and proposed for exchange. JlGHT AT CUMBERLAND GAP. We learn from the KnoxviUe Kegistcr that the enemy attacked our forces at Cum berland Gap on last Saturday week, but were repulsed with supposed heavy loss. The loss on our side was very light, only some half a dozen being wounded- one mortally. As soon as the enemy commenced their attack on the other side of the mountain, the Tennessee traitors on this side oommenced their deviltry, .firing! upon our men from the bushes, by which, means Limit.

The Yankee papers severely .denounce the great JBall recently given by thai quintes sence j of parvenuism and vulgarity, Mrs. Abraham Lincoln.

It turni out, however, to he the noise of a se vere thunder storm, at some distanoe east of Raleigh. i : ; , . THE BLOCKADE RUN AGAIN. We learn that another Southern Steamer has run the blookade and is now safely moor ed in Charleston harbor. lU" pve regret to notice among the killed t in the lite battle near Winchester the name of H. lj.

In reply to an Inquiry upon the subject, Secretary Benjamin says that!" volunteers re-enlisting for the war for the Confederate service, have the right to select the company and regiment with which they pre fer to connect themselves after the expiration of their present term of enlistment." I PeOqbxss'' Backwards. It seems that the Lincolnites at Newborn having make themselves at home la Mr. Pennington's office and free with tla property, are now publishing the Progress semi-weekly. . Oar pickets have captured some of the Yankee pickets and have thus obtained a Sight of the precious document. It mutt be con oling for;Mr. Pennington and Mr. Vestal to be .coolly informed by means of Ihe types and paper and other materials Justlv belonging to the former. I that the present editor, whose name a friend who saw tneauair does nut recoIledt,has totally changed the politic of the .paper that the former editor Was vile aeces&ioaiat, and: other things more numerous; than complimentary, whereas the present one is all aorta of a fellow; .. i: The editor annuoncea that as soon as he can f,0?!00' P1, from New York he will poblish the Progrcts daily but with what he has jiow he must oonflna himself, to 4 - semi-weekly.

A meeting was held recently in Carroll coun-t ty, Mis?., with reference to the war, the proceed ings of Avhicb, for spirit and patriotic devotion', aro truly an example for every part of the Confederacy. The meeting adopted among its resolutions the following : Resolved-, That should the patriotic chivalry of the South, contrary to our earnest expectations prove itself recreant, and the invading foe succeed in breaking through the lins of our. defences, and begin its mrch of conquest through our country, we do hereby solemnly declare it to be our fixed and unalterable purpose to present him a desolated land, laying our fields waste with fire And if there should Iks any found among us pos sessing an abject and craven spirit, who shall re fuse or neglect to perform this act of necessary defence, we pledge our -faith to each other, that we will see it done on every plantation through out the country; so that the enemy shall never obtain from us that cotton which i3 our wealtb, and becomes to him the sinews si war. And further, we do ptight our sacred honor to each other, that in such an event, which we do not an ticipate, bat for which we are bound to be pre pared, so soon as we can get our families to places of safety, wo will each and all who may not al ready bo in the field, unito ourselves for the pub lic defence, unless hindered by positive physical inability, and at the first opportunity, return with the armies of our country, to repel the invader and repossess our homes. It u right for women and children to become refugees, and expect strangers to light their battles for them. But wo who are men, must fight our own battles, with no thought of ever surrenderingj For freedom's bat tle once begun, And handed down from sire to son, Though often lost is surely won. Resolved, .That tho planters of the" county now present be called upon to contribute, by a sub scription of cotton, corn and bacon, to be dispos ed of or used to tho best advantage, lor the pur chase of arms to equip our volunteers for .the support of the families of absent soldiers, and for any purpose necessary for" the success of cur cause. And that committees, consisting of two citifcohs from each Police District, be' now appointed to wniton our friends who may be absent, tJ give them an opportunity of uniting in this patriotic eHort. The committeeappointel under these resolutions have already mado arrangements to use 500 bales of the cotton subscribed in procuring and pre paring arm?. They intend to have sabre bavo nets made and fixed upon. their shot guns at their own armories. Carroll countv has at present not L less than fourteen companies of infantry and cav airy in the field. 1 et sho docs not rest with teat Savannah Morning News. . , . Our Naval Defences It gives us pleasure (says the Charleston Mercury of the 17th inst. to announce that the Confederate Government has at last given directions that will insure the pro per vigor in the construction of a navy. The ship builders of (Juane-aon may now at once engage in a patriotic as well as profitable task. Com Ingraham has received full power from the Navy Department at Richmond to begin immediately to build as many war steamers, and of as formi dable a character, aa the exigencies of the war and theiesources at our command will warrant. The Government", with its full coffers and bound- r less credit, having taken up this matter in ear nest, might it not be well that the ladies should divert the funds which they have so nobly con tributed-for a gun boat, to some other object eqaul ly patriotic, and in which tho need for their help is more pres6ingly felt? We would remind them that, in tho matter of inin boats the Government can do far more than the aggregate of their con tributions could ever accomplish ; while, on the other hand, in providing comforis for our brave soldiers in the field, and relief for them when sick, cur noble-hearted women can do good in a way that the best Government could not success fully imitate. From the North. The Richmond Examiner says: We are assured in well-informed quarters that the Government has received advices of. very important nature through a letter addressed to the Secretary of War by a prominent and well known politician of the North. .These dispatches from the enemy s country express the most deter mined confidence that unless some great disaster to our arms intervenes, the attempt which will be made, about the middle ot next month, to put in operation the system of direct taxation at the North, will accomplish, perhaps by gradual steps, the abandonment of the war by the Yankees The public debt of the North is stated to be' al ready twelve hundred millions of dollars. Andy Johnson, the military Governor of Ten nessee, has arrived at Nashville. He made ,a speech an hour long, and said he came to restore the Constitution and crush treason. ' fie called the Unionists to the rescue. Maynard and Ethc- ridge aecomraaied him, and' made speeches. Etherktge said Bell was a secessionist, and the meanest of them all. The audience was exclu sively composed of Yankee soldiers. The Trad in Gold and Silver. The New Orleans Vigilance and Safety Committee have passed a resolution, denouncing all that trade in money to the injury of the Confederate notes as traitors, and such a course is urged on tbe Mobile Safety Committee to adopt also. Since the Mobile Safety Committee adopted this course coin is in no demand, and the last sale was at 29 per cent. less than a week ago. The Knbxville Kegister, in alludine to Cantain Morgan's late exploit, aays he "cantured 40 nri. oners' including 10 ' officerV beside one Yankee wiegrapo operator, vne y. o. mail, and 50,000 In gold." kxAKOMHK,rJ5E3IDENt' Ihe following rant age waafenlripto Cbngrtf otffnday l-tt ?-vwtl wivv IHiri oTil-lit JJJ&AUV 4 1. n. mm M mi ; t ie paraffon of the various laws now in force id aiFing armies, baa exhibited the necessity for ret '-jn?.' ! ; The frequent change and amondment? wlh have teen made, have recdered the svstem ro- implicated as to mike it ften quite difficult 16' ifetermind what the law Really is, and to what er ntf p?ior amendments are modified byxnore ret nt legislation. i .'

The prpparalions mljje. by., the enemy far a combined assault at numerous points on our frontier and seaboard haj1 producad the re;ult tbat might have been expected. They hafe animated the people with a iirit of resiance sa general, so resolute and so solf sacrificing that it reqaires rather tcf be restated than to be stimulated.

Youths under tbe ag (jf eigfiteon years require further instruction -eu of matured experience are needed for miitainipg order and gopd government at home, &nk in supervising preparations for rendering efii iant tbb armies in the field. 'hese two elasses constitute the proper reserve fof 6ome defence, ready to be called out in case pf ; ttnergency, and to be kept in tho Geld only wU le the euiergenc' exists. But in order to mt fttain this reserve intact, it is necessary that inf .; great war like that in which wearo now en gaf id, all persons of intermediate age, not legally exfcpt for good cause, should pay their debt of miliary service to the country, that the burthens sbld' not fall exglusivoly on the y most ardent ant patriotic. f therefore recommend tne passage of a law debating that all perlons residing within the Confederate States, between tho ages of 18 and 35 gears, and rightfully subject to military duty, $hr? be held to be in tho military service "of the Co) 'derate States, and that some plain arid sim ple". 4ethod be adopted for their prompt enrolment an.

Oar own trains had been wit dti&Wn to a p.lnr'e of aafaty. "f lee was sotne confusion in the Erst telegraph ic a' counts of the battle, owing to the statement tbaX.th?? Confederates had got in th,o-rearof the Fedfwa.and were driving them southward. It apptar that while McCulloch and Mcintosh wer?. conducting the attack in front, Price march ed J8 Missouri "troops :ourteen miles by a cir o'uit'bu route to the rear of the enemy. Unfortu nately, just after he arrived, and was getting into p03ii3or, be was inlormed by a courier of the fall of 3rGulloch and Mcintosh, and the .confusion that sufceeded that untimely occurrence. Da ringlthSs confusion in front and the hesitation that folked in the rear, the enemy changed his po sitW Valid threw his entire force upon Price, who mad anost noble d?fence, and inflicted tremen dou) ;log8 upon his assailants.

J How exactly do thete wOrds match tboso of the factioniets of, the present day ! " . , " f1 Nor did John Adams step there. He was an active member of a dark cabal lhat actually at tempted what iheir successors of the present day have as yet but threatened to attempt tho sup planting and siiperseduro of the selected Com mander-in-Chief of the army. J?irst Charles Lee, and then Gates, were to be raised to the chief command, in the stead of Washington. Samuel Adams, Rush, MiflTn, . and even Virginia statesmen of high repute, and other men of name and reputation, joined John Adams in this en deavor. The country bad a right to expect better of John Adams. He boasted himscjf to be.and he wss one of tho chief fo-mentors of the Revolution. His voice had rung, like a trumpet,lou 1 and clear, and among the very first, calling the people to re sistance. He claimed also t have selected and nom inated Washington for the postot Commander-in-Chief, though it hfl3 since been ascertained from his correspondence, that it was contrary; to his wish, and that he acted in reluctant deference to the choice of the public. But no sooner was the War tairly afoot than the zeal of Adams began to cool. He shrunk from exposure to personal danger; and gave himself as we have sean to surly and ignorant military ci iticismi-:, harsh censures and factious efforts to pull down the Commander-in chief whom he had just assisted to put up ; and coupled with these, were repining that others were reaping the hon ors of the Revolution which he had origin stod. "I, poor creature," it was thus he wrote, j-1 worn out with scribbling for my bread and my liberty, low iu spirits, and weak in health, must leave others to wear tho laurels which I have sown j others tq eat the bread which I have earned--a common case 1" H-.w exact a counterpart to all this do we see in the present times! Men who, like Adams, claim the credit of being the earliest to rais '.he standard of indapendenee, seem in like manner to imagine that it gives them a right to imperil the success of the undertaking by every possible-imprudence; a right to war upon and weaken the hands of our standard b.-arers and Uaiers ; a right to censure and denounce ignorantly, and without scruple ; a right to murmur and om plain, if thos3 who were lc?8 eager to tender ihe gage of battle, are mote forward to encounter ita peril, and to seek fameas thedefenders of thpir country ! Again wo say, how Etrnngely does history reproduce it 2!f! The factionftts were rebuked in that day, and they will ba rebuked in this. The good sense of the people will put them down, and pslerity shall wriie of them a wo vu writtoo of John Adams. But thev did harm then, and they will do harm now. The dissensions which they creat ed here in the Revolution found their way to E.i rpe, nni delayed that recognition and that aid from foreign powers which were so valuable to us. alterwards. In like manner, when Europe, which has seen so much to admire in the conduct of our affairs the courage, the dignity, the wisdom of our leaders shall hear the bickerings, tbe denun ciations, tho bitter accusations of our factionists the ill disguised threats of supersedure or ex pulsion, whicd they have presumed to-tter the effect must necessarily be very disastrous lo our interests. It will extinguish all sympathy for us, and delay indefinitely all idea of recognising us as a nationality. And no wonder. How can a people be expected to repulse a powerful external too while apparently torn by internal feuds and dissensions? Foreign natious will wait now, as they waited in the last century, until the magni tudasof the dissension has been developed,and until the people have put their heel upon it. We trust they will not have to wait long 1 What say you, citizens of the Confederate States ? 'ANOTHEH 1ROD CLAD STEAMER NEAR. LY READY. . The New York Times of the 15th, gives the following description of tho "Ericsson," No 2 : The work on the new iron clad steamer at the Constitutional Works, Greenpoint,is rapidly pro gressing, and the boat will be ready for service in about thrre weeks. This cratt was constructed at Mystic, Conn., and differs materially from; the Monitor. Instead of being a floating battery ,it is simply a screw steamer covered with pla'-es. It is 200 feet in length and about 36 feet deep, j and modeled with a view to speed. The engines are Ericsson's patent, and by means of a complicated system of levers, work below the water line, j, ,In addition to the screw the vessel will be shipiri" ged. The deck is covered with wrought iron plates two inches' thick. The sides !;are covered with iron plates 5 inches wide and 2 Jninches thick, overlapping each other so as to eover the bolt heads, and extend to 4 feet below; the water line. . ? Below the sills of the port holes is a second casing an inch in thickness, including the fin-t, making a total of inches. Above the sills the sides slope inwards, so that a 6hot striking at; an i angle will glance off. The bow and stern I are yw uttwtseuui neavy iron. AH ot tne bolts pass 1 : i r 1 m through the armour and are fastened by means I nats inside. The boat will carrv six eruna of eavy calibre, and the port-holes will Jbe covered y drops except when the guns are run out jfor se. The powder maeazine is sheated with lead. d furnished with lieht bv means of a lantern 1m down on the outside, the light showing through lt, in case tbe vessel should take i fire. The 'azine, machinery, &c, are all below the va line. The Chief-Engineer of the. vessel aud linventor is Mr. Julius Patterson, and tbe navftt architects. 11. rook, sit will bo command ed bV Capt. Taylor, U. 8. N. The iron is ftom the fdundry of Messrs. Winslow & Griswold, of lroy the same gentlemen who furnished Mr Erjesson the means to construct the Monitorj Proclamation.
