Mr. Crockett offered a 'joint resolalon in the Houio of. Representatives of the . Confederate Cbncress on Priday j last, that no peace ; pr)poti tion be entertained except upon the basis cjf the on tire. independence ot tne Uonfedoracy of thirteen states, 'lmi we consider Impracticable and im ooseible andnill lend to dishearten and w&k!n the party at the North that are willing to let us go in peace, and will tend to stave off negotiations and prolong tne war. wnere are the thirteen States to come from 7 It is certain that Maryland. , "My Maryland," Kentucky and Missouri will never compose a pait of the Confederacy, for tie very best reasons in the world, that the people are L averse to tne association.

NORTHERN NEWS. We make up the; following from Northern pa pers of the 31st : There has been no movement of the army about Fredericksburg since the appointment of General Hooker. A heavy Bnow storm has rendered the roads impassable. General Hooker has appointed his staff. GenoraliButterfleld, formerly a colonel in the New York State militia, is the chief. Genera! Sumner has issued a farewell address to his eoriis d'at mie very brief, soldierlike and pa triotic. The Herald, in an editorial on the ap pointment of Hooker, says: His appointment is universally accepted as a pledge to the people ot the loyal States from the administration that the moment the surface of the Country around him is sufficiently dried or 'har dened for the movement of his artillery he will advance upen the enemy aqd give them battle. We read this intention in. General Hooker's ad dress to the army, and we expoct him to fulfill his promise. Hut let us not be unreasonably impatient. While the "sacred Eoil" of Virginia continues in the condition of a quagmire, arresting tho move ments of provision wagons and compelling the of ficers in charge to convey on horseback tee dailv subsistence to our soldiers, a movement of the ar my in an- direction remains an impossibility. A single night of good freezing weather, followed by a sharp and dry northwester oW two or throe days will bring us, no doubt, tbe tidings of the advance of the .army ot the rotomac in full strength upon the enemy. WTehave no fear of me resuu oi anoioer couiston ,wun me army .ot General Lee. . AVe a.ro confidant ..that "from the drafts which have been made npon: General Lee! j forces to Btrengtnen Longstreet in Tennessee and the rebel generals operating on the south" ekfci of tho James river, he bai been so-weakened tbat he will surely be defeated should he again attempt to resist the advance of our considerably strengtr oned army of the Potomac, i. There is no news from the army in the Wast not a woid. Tho Washington correspondent of the 3ew -York Herald writes : - Lmle IPreEsior'8 in lhe Senatedebate on Thlrs day betray something like despair as to the r-ul cf the war. Mr. Fessendcn spoke of the ocn of expenditure, and Mr. Henderson insisted tfon an immediate appropriation of twenty million to abolish slavery in Missouri, as a neewssary codi tion precedent to assuring ber position as a Uaiion State. At best there was doubt as to the success of our cause. Greeley's conversations here, and the drift of bis editorials for letting the South igo, have a strong effect upon the minds of tbe pafty. They seem to be falling off from the war poiit a stitch at a time. Pretty Boon, as things go on, they will, strike out wild, and finally get oi.t of heart altogether. The New York Herald says that Senator Ssjuls bury, alter two days' cooling off, and with lhl re turn of "the sober second thought," has mado a proper apology to tbe Senate, and hopes "he may be pardoned this time, with' the warning to be ware of speaking for a sovereign State" 'again while fast in the clutches of John Barleycorn. Burnside is in New York, and has decided to "make no public visits." McClellania in Boston. He is to be examined before the Committee on the Conduct of the War, upon the Senate resolu tion inquiring whether any Generals acting under him attempted to interfere with his plans at any time, while he was commander of tbe army of the Potomac. His chief of staff has been' already ex amined. Butler has, returned to Washington. He has been in consultation with the President and Sec retary Stanton all day. It has not as yet been announced to what command he is to be aligned, but it is generally believed tbat he will return at once to Louisiana. Tbe arrest of the editor of the Philadelphia Journal bad caused great excitement in tbe North. Judge Ludlow, of Philadelphia, made the arrest the subject of a special- charge to tho grand fufy. He Bays: "The time has arrived when we can no longer hold our peace.". In -"the Pennsylvania Legislature a resolution authorizing the Gover nor to go to Washington and demand the release ot the prisoner, was referred to the Committee on Federal relation. The common branch of the' Philadelphia Council adopted a resolution denoun cing tho arrest as unjust and unconstitutional. The grand jury had made a presentment in rela tion to the arrest. 'The presentment 6ajs : The testimony before the grand jury shows tbat the arrest was made by the order of General Schenck, for the publication of an editorial arttnln 1 under the title of the "Message pf Davis," and "WW "" cmtrauujr, tonumg to ineJ I support and encouragement of the rebellion against bUO UUIIUU UbOHW UVIOIUWCUli The New York Herald speaking of it says it is evident, from this and other indications, that the radicals are bent on proceeding to violent extrem ities, and defying the reaction in public sentiment bo unmistakably manifested at the last election. .If we are entering on a reign qf terror, the fer eays, the people ought to be made aware of it." The New York lorta savs that the country is indignant and shocked at the arbitary and ty ranieal exercise of power, The friends of the Constitution will henceforth resist all illegal en croachments on individual liberty and free dis cussion with the firmness of conscious strength, and the vigor and deter minaiion of men thorough ly in earnest. e The Confederate steamer Florida has struck as much terror to the Yanfcee heart" as the Alabama The New York World says that the exploits cf the Florida "caused profound excitement in Newr York, and well they mightas she is as sw ft as K ho Alabama, stronger, and carries heavier ;un.

She sailed again on the 12th for Trinidad. The "Herald" of the 1st gives the details of the fight on-lhe Black water. General Pryor crossed on the night of the 28th with three regiments and four battalions of in fantry, nine hundred cavalry, and fourteen pieces of artillery. . The next night General Corcoran advanced to meet him. The rebels were found ten miles from Suffolk. Cannonading two and a half hours, caused the enemy to retreat. Corcoran advanced his whole force of infantry with fixed bayonets, driving the rebela nearly a mile, leaving thir dead and wounded behind them. The rebels took another position two miles from that battle field, across the Black water. Tbe Federal loss was twenty-four killed and eighty wounded. General Corcoran had a nar row escape. The -Times hs a letter from the Army of the Potomac, stating tbat General Burnside has been offered command of a new department embracing North and So;h Carolina. Thirty days has been allowed him to decline or accept the appointment. A private letter from the Army ot the Potomac says 'The army BWffiS to be in excellent spirit and we look forward to ee good weather and better roads, when we Can again move onward more successfully in the cause ot tbe Republic. We are nerved and coDSiddr oursfilves furious, that's certain." General Crouch now commands tbe right divi sion, General Meade the centre, General Wi T. Smith t,he left, and General 'Siegel of the Army of the Potomac. It is thought that in a few days General Reynolds will have command of the left grand division. The New York correspondent of the London Times, writing January 2d, says, "Mr. Lincoln himself, If not-greatly belied, believes tbat the Union is at an end -r that nothing which either uu uf tug nui iuciii puvpio can uu win ut) auio 10 restore it, and only fights out the fight to the bit ter end because pride or shame or the fear of pub lic opinion, tbat hp does not Aghtly understand, prevents him from accepting a result humiliating to himself, his party and his people. It is the old story over again. I.is a Brummagem George the III, in the shape of an elected President re enacting the old obstinacy." " Tbe London Times in a leader, says that it has "never doubted the abolition of slavery would in some way or other be the final result of the "war, and would uafeignodly rejoice were the words to which the President has given utterance, capa ble of carrying with them their own fulfillment; That this measure, however, Is no homage to I ' i U , VA..l.... J 111 1 - LI . b principle or conviction but merely the means of raising up a domestic enemy against the Southern States, is abundantly proven by the fact that abo lition is a punishment to rebels, and its restraint is a reward to patriots.'" .The same paper adds : "Every consideration of patriotism ana policy calls upon President Lin coln to put an end to the hopeless contest ; but he considers the. ruin is not deep enough, nor the bloodshed plentiful enough, and. so he calls to his aid the execrable expedient of a servile insurrec tion. He has decided in favor of emancipation, not at a matter of principle, but as a weapon of war. V The Army and Navy Gazette says : "An end to the war, exeept in mutual' ruin, we can see none, Those who speak of reducing Jhe' South 'to the state of San Domingo, little realize the miseries and horrors which must befall the South if her bleeding csrease lies unresistingly at'thefootof armed.

The- Washington' telegraphic correspondent states that there is the best authority for saying that the statements that the Emperor of the French has made a renewed proposal of media tion to the British Government -since the battle of Fredericksburg is entirely without truth.

JOHN SPELJIAN, THE MODESTY OFrGENERAL JOSEPH E- l , JOHNSTON. - While at tbe head of our army and ia the field, the skill and gallantry of this distinguished soldier, has been the theme of praise and con gratulation, giving to his name a brilliant record in the War, his modesty is no less to be admired, and is beautifully illustrated in the following no tice of him made by a special correspondent at .Mobile of the Charleston Courier, in one of his recent letters to that paper. This writer says: " Our great guest at present is the immortal General Joseph E. Johnston. Night before Jast he was serenaded at the residence of Gen. Mc- Call, with whom he was sojourning, by quite a mob of JHobuians. They called tr him l?ud and long; Finally he appeared, whereupon three loud shouts were given for tbe hero of Manassas, to which he replied: "Gentlemen ,lhe hero of Ma nassas, is not here to nigbt, he is in Charleston." Three cheers were then given for tbe hero of Seven Pines. To which jhe' replied: "Gentlemen, no one man was ever the hero of Seven Pines. In that bloody ; battle there were many heroes, under our flag, and .the very noblest of them were from Alabama." Whereupon he made his bow, said " good night," and retired amid shouts and cheers that be did not stop to answer." - InTIBYIBW BXTWEKIT THE OOBRESPONDKNT or the London Times !and General Lee; The London Times publishes. a third letter from its correspondent in the South. It is dated at Cul pepper Court House, where he reports, to -have met with General Lee. In reporting his inter view an.d conversation with General Lee, he gives the following paragraph, j ' I will not step to notice the wholesale des. truation of property, JngUsn and French, as wel 1 as Southern, which would be inevitable if these towns were burrt. But behold, in the fastnesses of the' Southern mountains, there are positions which ten times the power of the .North could not carry. Speaking recently in reference to many of these positions, General ' Lee said to me, ' He would be a bold man to follow me where I asked, and fight me where-1 chosen Take Rich mond, and the seaboard towns off my shoulders, and I should be the lightest-hearted man ia the Confederacy. There are in tbe mountains re sources for making war ammunition without stint, and founding cannon. With the immense amount of the latter on hand it is doubtful wheth r any would be wanted for ten years.

Vicksburo, Feb. 2. A "Yankee iron clad ram passed our batteries this morning. Several shots were fired at her, but only three struck. She at tempted, when opposite tbe steamer Vicksburg, to grapple her, but was prevented by our sharp shooters. The name of the iron clad is unknown. The shots which struck seemed not to make the slightest impression. Our forces are on the alert and ready for any more desiring to attempt a like experiment. Vicksburo, Feb. 2. The boat which ran past the batteries this morning, is said to be the Queen of ihe West. She attempted to butt tbe steamer Vicksburg, striking ber "heavily on the larboard side, without damage. Ten deserters from the! 3 1st "Wisconsin regi ment ai rived here last evening. They state tbat great dissatisfaction exists in the Yankee army, and they confirm the arrival of Grants army, making an effective force of fifty to sixty thou sand men on the Peninsula. -Grant supersedes MeClernand, and takes command of the whole expedition.
