The River and Harbor Bill The river and harbor appropriation bill just passed in the House, directs the Secretary of War to cause examinations or surveys, or both, to be made at the following points in Virginia: James river between Richmond and City Point, including Harrison's bar, below the Point; Appomattox river from Petersburg to its mouth; James River and Kanawha canal; and the Rappahamnock river below Fredericksburg. It also directs the same in North Carolina at Roanoke rive. The Senate will probably pass the river and the harbor bill as it comes from the House.

The debate on foreign relations to-day \\a> exciting and more than heretofore animated, especiallx between Butler, of Mas- -" liu^tts, and Logan, the former opposing the declaration of belligerency and the latter advocating it.

Senate.?The Senate is considering the Mil granting lands to the Great Southern jailroad, ill Florida. The New York ship-owners protect against granting American registers to j foreign-built ships. Among the protestant* are Moses Taylor and Cornelius Van-; derbilt. The bill granting land to a Florida railroad was passed. A bill was introduced restraining the North i'acillc railroad from contracting obligations beyond $>0,000,000. The abolition of the franking privilege ^undiscussed until recess.

The f&nate to-night discuRfied the franking privilege. There was no executive session to-day. Porter m Woodx, Washington, Juno 15.?The Judiciary Committee heard several witnesses in the caw of Porter w, Woods this morning. Porter t entitled that Woods met him in the street in Richmond while Porter was on his way to his house to proceed thence to Washington. Woods accosted him in a friendly manner, and asked hlin to drink. Porter refused, when Woods struck Porter, knocking him partially senseless. All this while Poller was absent from his se:it on leave of absence, and live days before his leave of absence from the House expired. Mr. Humphreys corroborated the statement of Porter, and said that he believed that \\ oods used brass knuckles. t ? J h? committee meets again at half-past i this evening.

June 1.*).?In the House of Commons last night Gladstone. in replying to a motion to revise the Bible, said the Governnient had carefully considered the question, and thought it hail better leave the subject to ecclesiastical authorities.

' Lonpon, June 15.?The members ot tlie Monarch Insurance Company, recently failed, have been committed to jail upon the charge of fraud. ... i In the House of Lords last night, Lord Granville moved to the second reading the Irish land bill. He said, refraining from partisan topics, he would simply^ deuiou>trate the necessity for this legislation. I he law as it stood was confessedly imtuitisfactorv. 'I he tenure ot land in Ireland was insecure, and abrupt evictions without | eoinpeiisation for improvements were common.

Lord Richmond denied there was am necessitv for the bill, and read a number ot letters to prove that the landlords were all "?eiitlene.-s and consideration. Exceptions were possible, but loo few to warrant present legislation. After arguing othei obit elioiis the noble Lord said he should not oppose the measure for fear the move would toiiow its rejection, but he hoped certain amendments which he suggested would be *U Lord Russell advocated the passage of the bill without further amendments. Lord I HitVerin said large landlords defended the provisions as they stand, anu he deprecated any alterations. Lord Salisbury spoke against and Lord Kimbeilv for the bill.

Tarther Exlracta from John Sfltchol'n X*aU*OM-naI.? Sicomond, February 1, 1SG4. ! No more destitute refugees ever eamo to Richmond, even in these days of rcfugeeing.than my wife and two little girl*, after the burning of all the cargo of that ill-omened ship the A esta. After having honed to supP, - , ? Confederacy (their own snare of the Confederacy) for three or four years, thev were cast upon its shore, and on the most desolate shore In the world, at mil",night, and saw the vessel which contained their stores, and even their trunks of clothing, burnt to the water's edge. Three gentlemen on board, two ol them being Confederate oracers and one an Englishman. *vere verv kind and-attentivc to the unprotected ones', and staved by them until at last, through much discomfort and by a swamp road, they brought them safe into Wilmington! lrom whence the telegraph brought me the lu st news of their arrival on this side of the Atlantic. They came on l?y railroad and were hospitably received at first in a friend's house until I should be able to make more permanent arrangements. In the mean tiine I have undertaken the task of writing the leading articles for Mr. Daniel s Examiner. This journal is not favorable to the President and Administration ; and I confess that since I have come to net a full view of the inside (the wrong side) of tiie Confederacy my own enthusiasm for Mr. Davis and his counsellors has sensibly diminished. With a just and noble cause to inspire them, and a brave and generous people under their guidance, these folks prove themselves sadly below their high vocation. Mr. Davis is certainly above all corruption, or connivance at corruption, yet there is grievous corruption in almost every department of Government. I he President's inveterate likings and disliking* also arc creating more and more jealousy and mischief in the armv. In truth, the late partial disasters, or at least lailure, of our usual brilliant success?at Gettysburg and at Vicksburg?make every one more apt to lind fault. Our troops are now but poorly Clad, and the value ot Confederate paper money has so much depreciated that t hey can scarcely be said to get Pay at all. yo it has become inore and more difficult to keep them together, and the country is full of straggler.*?that is, desert?wandering towards their homes. Our railroads are wearing out fast, and \>e cannot provide means of renewing the one-quarter of them. In short, the resources of the South are a measurable quantity?and we can see to the end of them, and the speedy end-while the resources of the enemy are truely immeasurable. AV orst of all, the enemy has learned both to light and to ride. There is now in the northern army a really serviceable, wellmounted and trained force of cavalry, while our horse-i egiments have scarcely improved since the Hull Hun battle. Therefore there is amongst our common soldiers a certain discouragement which at times amounts to disaffection, especially when they hud some favorite general (Johnston or Beauregard) kept down by the President and incompetent men holding posts of the greatest moment, iiut, as I said, the greatest weakness of our cause lies in that one consideration?that the great mas-, of the people do not lind themselves so deeply intcrested in t he success ot the Confederacy as to make them endure for an indclinitely longer time, perhaps years to come, the hardship and the hunger, and the marching in bad shoes or no shoes, and the picketguard on frosty nights. They say to one another indeed that they mu>t not be beaten, that it will never do to give the thing up ; but they do not alwavs mean it now when they say it. Still there is everywhere a show of the highest confidence; and it is real confidence, too ; of which the best proof is, that both private persons and public companies invest their money in Confederate securities; although the wisest, both Jews and Gentiles, buy laud, which, strange to say, many proprietors are willing to sell for our" rosccolored treasury bills. We are lodged in a house upon Fifth street, and my wile is surprised to lind that the people are by no means starving; that we can go to the market and purchase excellent meat, fish, vegetables, even game and oysters, if we only have enough of that same rosy money. Wine, indeed, i-: rare, though 1 know some I'ichiuond citizens who still have their cellars stored, and, in fact, certain of theui do still import wine from Europe, smuggling out Cotton through the blockade to pay its juice; for wine undcundc must be had. Indeed, the Catholic clergy must have a little for their sacrament; and my worthy friend Father 'feeling uses the fc'cuppcrnong of North Carolina, a pure wine, and quite palatable. The same Father 'feeling having lately received two dozen of Scuppernougasa present, invited a few friends to dine with him ; and those friends drank up almost the whole of the good man's sacramental wine. As to the other usual and needful supplies of a household, there is no difficulty, no scarcity at all. You eau always buy one egg for one dollar; and if you have plenty of the rose-tinted dollars you may have canvas-back ducks and chainpage. But these luxui irs, I must confess, arc enjoyed chielly by the happy fraternity of gamblers, who own or rent the finest buildings on Maiu street, and give suppers ! of the gods. March 1.?We hear of the appointment of Grant as Commander-in-Chief. 1 am not sure that 1 know much about this Grant; a rather bad tanner, 1 believe. Yet, perhaps, a better tanner than engineer; for lie has been trying to dictate a course to the Mississippi by which the river might be cut oil' from Vicksburg, or Vicksburg from the river. 1 am not very sure whether this Grant, or some other fool, was the originator of the Vicksburg canal. Grant, one of the captors of Vicksburg, has been made commander-in-chief of the northern forces. They say he is a blockhead j but if he is only resolute enough to sacrifice his men. without the least scruple and without the least result, knowing lie can rcplacc his losses, and that we can never replace ours, blockhead as he is, lie must beat us in the long run.

March.?Spring is opening; the days are waxin" longer; the ground is growing dryer. War weather is coming once more. Roads invite the wheels of artillery and commissary wagons; warbling birds on every spray practice the notes of the battlebugle, and all nature calls aloud to man, that if he has got anything particular to do in the way of fanning or lighting, now is his time. We in the Confederacy are expecting nothing less than another grand advance of the Yankee forces across the Rapidan and Rappahannock, "on to Richmond," but combined, this time, with a contemporaneous advance of the northern army of the West by way of Chattanooga and Atlanta. This investment of Richmond is going to lie on a gigantic scale indeed. May 15.?Our Ambulance Committee is out and on duty; aud there is sore need of all they can do. Here, at a place called Giuney's station, upon the Richmond and Fredericksburg railroad, we have our tents, our kitchen, and our doleful furniture of stretchers and splints. Grant crossed the iRapidan on one of the lirst days of May. On the 5th and Gth was fought the confused aud hideous battle named " Of the Wilderness." Our ambulance people were! then encamped jit Orange Courthouse, and j had heavy duty enough, when oue evening three thousand Yankee prisoners were marched into the village r>nd quartered in the church-yard. Two general ollieers were with them; and it appeared that the whole party had been captured by a dashing flank movement of Gordon with his Georgia brigude. The names of these Generals are Seymour and Shaler; the lirst being the same who lately led the negro troops in Florida, and who was so soundly thrashed by Finegan : a very vain and empty-looking person. The other, General whaler, has more the air and demeanor of what we call a irentleinan. But before dismissing these two commanders I must mention one incident which illustrates the very careless and free-and-easy stvle of our Confederate administration/ as' well military as civil. When these prisoners were moved on the next day towards Richmond, and had got as tar as Gordousville, this same Seymour, observing that there was a considerable crowd, white and black, on the platform, some to stare at the prisoners, but most to sell hard boiled eg^s, sweet potatoes, and roast chicken?this General Seymour, 1 say, was actually [>eni]itted by the laughing and grinning guard to step out upon the platform and address his "fellow-citi-zens" upon the folly of this war, and the certainty that they would be vanquished at last. I know not how the trtlicor in command of the guard reconciled it to bis sense of duty to suffer so absurd a display, but 1 suppose he only laugbed?everybody was in good humor?and a nejrro sold General Seymour two cygs at a dollar a piece.
