Noeanguine hope of interyertion buoys up the spirits of the Confederate public as at the end of 1861. No brilliant victory like that of Federicksburg encourages as to look for- ward toaspeedy and successful termination of the war as in the last weeks of 1562. Meade has been foiled, and Longstreet has had a par- tial success in Tennessee; but Meade s advance was hardly meant in earnest, and Bean's Station is a poor eet off to the loss of the gallant men who fell in the murderous assault on Knoxville. Another daring Yankee raid has been carried out with comparative impunity to the invaders, and timorous capitalists well pause before they nibble at eligible invest- ments in real estate situated far in the interior.

His hair is jet black, his eyes keen, piercing, and well adapted to flash. ing anger im the face uf an opponent. His face is 1arge, and may be termed handsome. He Wears neither whiskers nor mustach:. He dresses neatly, in fine broadcloth. He tsagood epeaker, uscs choice language and enunciates distinctly, Heis not altogether free (rom the imputation of yanity, I should say, from the number of times he looks at the galleries, with an air of “How do yen !ixe it! Wouldn't my cpponent be better off sf he hadn’t said any- thing ?” Mr. Bayanp.—Mr Bayard is about twenty years older than his colleagre, a very pretty figure, rather inclined tocorpulency. ‘Iis hair is quite gray, and what little there is of it is parted in the middle. Time has furrowed his face quite deeply. He spesks with very little animation, Aud at the times there is considera ble of whine in his utterance. He was recent- ly re-elected to the Senate, and it now de- volves upon him to take the recently prescribed osth, or be expelled trom that body. He will take the oath, though vith not mnch relish. Mr. SumNeR.—Mr. Samner’s personal ap- pesrance has been soofien described that [ will not make one of my poor attempts to convey to the resder an idea of how this eminent states= msn and scholar looks on the floor of the Sen- ate. It would uot require a very good judge of human nature to poiut him out as he sits at his desk, whether reading, writing or listening to the remarks of another Senator, as «the no- biest Roman of them all.” There is fFomething about him that cannot fail to impress arty man of ordinary intelligence with the fact that he is no tricky politician, no peeudo Statesman, no mere socialist. But when he rises to an im- Ppromptu speech, he disenchants yon, and you cannot help asking yourself, or somebody near «Is that Sumner! Certainly itcan’t be he who* is making such a poor attempt on a trivial sub- ject!” But itis even Charles Sumner, the pro- found scholar, the great thinker, and one of the poorest off-hand epexkers in the Senate. It is because he is such a great thinker and such @ profocaa student, and, perhaps, too, that oae is Apt to expect so much from him, that he im- presses you so unfavorably when a question is fucdenly sprung upon him, for which he has had ro time for thought or research. : Mr. FEssENDEN is one of the keenest debaters in the Senate—alwaye prepared, no matter what subject is brought up; Always ready to give after which the sound logical views, no matter what the topic uncer discussion.
