THE REBELS IN A. DILEMMA. PESPEKATION OF THE REBELS—FRANTIC APPEALS 70 THE MASES—MORE TROOPS WANTED—THE TERRIBLE ROSY OF THE NORTH, ETC. (From the New Orleans Crescent , Jan. 31.) A plain statement of facts is all that is necessary to superinduce in the public mind a full realization of the danger through which we are to pass before this war is euded. The hour of ovr ‘4! is near, and if we would have a bright and chee wre we must awaken from our apathy and bestir our-e ves like men It is kadwn that the North bas an army of more than x hundred thousand soldiers, a half a million of whom are in active serviee. Of these, about 150,000 are con- nected with the different naval expeditious and stationed along the sea coast, At Washington and along the Poto- mac, in MeClellan’s division, there are near 125,000, leaving 225,000 otherwise disposed. The Cod from Western Virginia bas been transferred to Kent At Yaris, Lexington, and confronting General Marstvall, in the eastern portion of that State, there is a force cf some 10,000. From Louisville to Greew river, under Buell, ubout 90,000, At Columbia, Somerset, and on the upper Cumberland there are 20,000, under Thomas, and his command is being increased. At Caihoun, ‘and on the ‘ower Green river, 10,000. The residue are at Smithland, Paducah, Cairo, ‘and in Missouri. We thus hay jand frontier exteriing from the wes- tern line of Virginia to Kansas, menaced by an army of upwards of two hundred thousand wel! armed and well Appointed soldiers. Fortunately for us, the weather has so far rendered operations with large bodies of men im- practicable. But whenever this difficulty is removed, we may took with conyidence for their immense hordes to he precipitated upom us, This invasion, too, will be by nver and by land, ‘Theenemy’s supplies will be brought witb*them. In this respect the invasion by the land frontier can be conducted without the hazard to supplies trom winds and waves, and the distance with which (beir naval expediuions are liable to ve embarrassed. they break through cur lines or (urn our strong positions, i toe thus face all. the horrors of invasion. They are now ready for ap advance, and nothing detans them, we repeat, but the reads ana the weather. The section of country through which tbe army from Paducah and Cairo is designed act. General Smith's recent abortive move. ment hag demonstrated to be wholly unsuited for winter campaigning. It is reasonable to suppose that the other army corps are for the present inactive for the same reason. What are our preparations to resist these immense numbers? ‘We do not deem it proper to publish in a newspaper either our numbers or the disposition of our troops, but we fee! authorized to say to the people of the Leases we need more men—more fighting mon. We have use thousands and tens of thousands more than we have. we must have men enough to guard every place where the enemy may attempt an inread upon us. We have skilful and experienced generals, but it is idle to rely upon their skill if we do not fornish them with men enough to meet the emergency. The present bad weather is a boon from heaves. We have time to place men enough in the field if we go promptly and energetically to work. It must be done, and done at once. The Confederate Congress has passed a law to meet the eccasion. It provides for, the receiving individual volunteers as they may offer their services, without, ee heretofore, requiring a whole company to be formed and organized before they could be mus- tered ito service. advantages of this change, in sistence, transportation y of enlistment, are ob- vious. Additional inducements are also held out to those who will raive companies, battalions or regiments. The duty of Congress bas been weil performed, and ai) that remains for the people of the South to insure their liberty and nationality is to act upon this law with patriotism and promptitude. lt is useless for the government to move in this matter unless it is sustained by the masses—the yeomenry of por on who stay at tome must awake from their dreamy lethargy turn aside for atime from their various avocations, and tespond to thecall of their coaniry. We must go w camps of in. struction, carry our guns, @nd learn The people we fear do not realise the crisis. The transfer of Beauregard from the Potomac to Columbus, and the infor. mation which comes to us from other portions of Ken- tucky, which we cannot make public, mean more than the country ie aware of. We repeat, now is the time for every patriot to show his devotion, and let him de s0 defore it is t00 late. {From the Memphis Appeal, Feb. 4.) ‘Weare no alarmists, and are as far as any one can be trom. wis Wo create a feverish anxiety on the public mind, by giving circulation tw sensation reports concern- dng dangers that may It ie evident that wast preparations, on the most eificent scale, are making at Cairo and Bird's Point for Ube contemplated descent which is to be directed simu!- laneous'y against New Madrid and Columbus, ou or ‘of February.

Que thing is certain, the failure of that enterprise has opened the eyes of the federal renerais as to the amount of force nec to make successful attack op Columbus and New Madrid. and we velieve they are going to try to avail themselves of it ; hence the large army they are now gathering for that purpore. The place of landing ov the Kentucky side will be at Putney's Bend, ten miles above Columbus. Their lines will be gradually extended to Melbcrne, a point from twelve to fifteen miles from the river, and thence ina semi-circle to Clinton, which is only tour miles from the Mob |e and Ohio Rajiroat; and thus they will be eoabled to cui of all communication in that quarter.

Mr. Trumputt, (rep.) of Dl,, thought the resolution in- volved a very important question, that of paying damages, and should be well considered. Pending the consideration of the resolution, a message was received from the House asking a return of the reso lution, which was complied with. THE DIBTRICT JAIL. Mr. Wnxon, (rep.) of Mass., introduced a resolution that the Committee on the District of Columbia be «i- rected to inquire into the judicial management of the Jail in the city of Washingten. He read a letter from Mr. Duval, stating that great, abuses were committed in the Jail, expecially fogging the prisoners in a severe maiiuer ‘Adopted. ax oumawny un.

A joint resolution was received from the House, that the Commissioner of Public Buildings be directed to illu- minate all public buildings on Saturday next, the 22d of February, in honor of the recent victories. This was taken up and parsed. ‘THE CASE OF FENATOR STARKE. ‘The case of Mr. Starke, of Oregon, was taken up. Mr. Rarerssaid a number of papers ana ‘afldavits had ‘deen laid before the committee in regard to certain con versations, &c., of Mr. Starke, The question before the committee was whether such evidence was sufficient to prevent his prima facie right to take the cath. The com mitiee thought not. He thought theSenate had the to judge of a member's qualifications of election and c stitutional rights of a person to take his svat. Mr. Hate, (rep.) of N. H., offered a resolution that the case be recommitied to the Judiciary Commitiee, with instructions to report on the facts sufficient to show his disloyalty, or not to prevent his holding @ seat in the Senate. He thought the very question for the committee to decide was whether the person was qualified to hold his seat. If there was no evidence to prevent his taking his seat, there was no evidence to prevent his holding his seat. Mr. Sumxgr, (rep.) of Mass., proceeded to speak at length. He contended that if the Senate was not to judge of the qualifications only of age, citizenship and re- sidence in the State, then an open traitor, might come and claim a seat, and the Senate had no right to keep him out, He affirmed that kyalty ‘also was a qualification, and referred to article six, section three of the constitu. tion providing that the oath to preserve the constitution fhust be taken previous to taking the seat. Ho contended that loyalty was qualification and disloyalty disqualifica- tion, and the pe ease left is when the evidence will be considered le claimed that offering to take the oath was not sufficient against the evidence of disloyalty. Mr. Trumpuit, (rep.) of Ill., said he should eay nothing did he not think a very important question was involved. It claimed that a person coming here with a aoe certificate had a right to take a seat, no matter ow infamous his character. It seems absurd to recei a man only to turmhim out the next day. Under such arule Governor Magoffin, of Kentucky, might send Gen. Buckner or any known traitor here, and the Senate would be obliged receive him. The. courts have decided that a al person shall hold no office or public trust under the laws of the United States. He admitted that the decivions of the courts ‘were not the rules of the Senate, but would any Senators ‘vote to admit‘ Judge who had taken & Dribe, and thus rendered ineligibie by the law Si more if not, then the Senate would agree to the princij Mr. Canuits, (Union) of Va., comiaeren ied coateritoe but 1 will not change it.” ‘What om 110 dof” asked the man. “Why, get out of the car,” said the official. ‘The gentleman very quietly was about to step out ef the car a Se alent c of the pelting snowstorm, when a young manta mear changed the Dill at once for him, and danger een eee The di of a therough dreac! and a got out at Vesey street.

The Senate already has all the facts in the case, and he thought they ought toact on it as it stands. Mr. Davis, (Union) of Ky., spoke at some length against the report of the committee, contending that loyalty was the proper qualification fot consideration. ‘Mr. CLank disagreed from the report of the committee. irae argued Uhat the provision of the constitution, that the ‘oath be taken, shows that loyalty inaproper qualification, ahd the Senate is not precluded, het, by the taking of the oath, from considering other evidence.

It was now argued tbat the committee de. cided that even a disloyal man ought to be admitted if he bad the credentials. The committee decited no such thing; no such thing was rred to them.

Mr. Frewevpex said the papers in the first instance were sent to him, and though he had doubts as to whether Mr. 14 not t0 be allowed to take the oath, still be thought the best way was to have the cage submitied tw the committee.

Mr. WasuBURNE introduced the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted:— Resolved, Asa mark of respect for the memory of the brave men who have been killed, and sympathy for those who have been wounded in the recent victories of our arms in South Ca- rolina, Kentucky, Tennesse, North Carolina, Missouri and Vir. ginia, us well as @ testimonial of the profound admiration of the members of this house for the persistent and undaunted courage of ail the oficers and soudiers, sailors and marines engaged. and who have achieved tor themselves, and conter- red upon the country, unperisbable honor and renown, that this Louse do now adjourn, General ‘Scott in Wall Street. During the excitement produced by the news from the seat of war on Monday, General Scott was observed in his carriage ip the vicinity of Wall street, and was followed at once by ap excited crowd to the Leather Manufac- turers’ Bank, which he had occasion to visit. His ap- pearance was the signal for the enthusiastic congratula- tions of the people, who surrounded his carriage; and to such an extent was this feeling displayed, that the police found it necessary to open a way for the safe departure of the old hero from the stormy welcome of the peo) As the carriage stopped, and the venerable form of the General appeared at the door, the crowd, which by this time was very large, removed their hats and broke into aloud cheer. General Scott raised bis hat and bowed his acknowledgements, his white hair waving in the wind aud his face expressive of emotion at the unex- pected and infohmal greeting. General Scott went into the bank, the crowd awaiting his return. While in the bank, the despatch was sent to him announcing tho surrender of Fort Donelson: The General read it and remarked, ‘It was a pity that great rascal Floyd has escaped.” On leaving the bank, General ‘Soott was again the recipient of an ovation, and so ended @ pleasant episode—the blockade of William street and a runon the Leather Manufacturers’ Bank. Just then, Sergeant McDonald, who gerved with the jenera] throughout the Mexican campaign, was observed coming through the crowd with a rebel flag, which it was his intention to place on the steps of the bank 80 that the General might trample on it on returning to his carriage; but he was disappointed , in common with the assemblage, to find the veteran had already left. The gallant Sergeant then had to surrender the flag to the people, under whose fect the rebel emblem was very s00n obliterated in the mire. We learn that the health of General Scott has much improved during the last two or three weeks. He now walks easily without assistance. Departure of the British War Sloop Racer. The British war sloop Racer, which had been anchored at Quarantine for the last week, took her departure for Bermuda, West Indies, yesterday morning. The Racer mounts eleven guns, and is commanded by Captain Algernon Lyons, cousin to the British Minister at Washington. A corrected list of her other officers bas already beer published in the Heraiv. The late visit of the Racer had for its object the transmiesion of despatches from Lord Lyons, as well as from Mr. ‘Archibald th the British Consul at New York, for Admiral Sir Alexander Milne, besides the ‘conveyance of the West Indian mails brought from Europe by the Cunard mail steamer Asia.

BUSINESS OF THE PAST WEEK—LARGE IMPORTATIONS—~ INVOICES OF LEAD—THE RECENT DEUISION RE- SPECTING THE DUTY ON WORSTEDS—THE SECTIONS OF THE TARIFF LAW INTERPRETED—A WORD 70 THE BROKERS—APPOINTMENTS AND REMOVALS, BIC,, ETO. The business of the Custom House during the past week continued to be quite brisk and the receipts for duty quite large. ‘The business of some departments has not been quiteas heavy as during the same portion of the month of January. Thus in the warchouse depart ment the receipts thus far during the month have amounted to about $465,000, against about $750,000 for the same portion of last month. Many of the importers are now availing themselves of their limited privilege of warehousing goods for three months, the value of the goods now placed in store exceeding that of those with- drawn, Among the recent importations have been some large invoices of pig lead, which have been brought here probably for the manufacture of balls, &c., for the use of ourarmy. Coffee and tea continue to arrive. Among the dry goods imported siuce the passage of the tariff act of March, 1861, have been many worsteds, on which a duty of thirty per cent bas been levied, the Collector and ‘reasury Department deciding that worsted goods were in- cluded among those referred to in the second clau of the following section of the act of March, under ue specitication of ‘‘al) manufactures of wooi.’’ The section reads as follow: “On all deiaines, cashmere delaines, Muslin delaines, barege delaines, composed wholly or in part of wool, gray or uncolored, and on all other gray or uncolored goods of simiiar description, twenty-five centum ad valorem; on bunting and on all stained, col cr. ed or painted, and on all other manufactures of wool, of which wool shall component material, not other’ wise provided for, thirty per centum ad valorem."’ The Circuit Court decided, however, last week, on a test case, that the goods were not included in the above specifica. tion, but were “‘unenumerated,” and consequent: Pep tey pay “bus twenty per. cent, in uecordance with the pro- visions of the 24th scction of the act, which says that ‘onal articles manufactured in whole or in, part, not herein enumerated or provided for, a duty of twenty per centum ad valorem” shail be paid. The decision is an important one, and of course applies not only to the merchandise involved"in the case decided, but to ali of a similar deseription. The duties which have been paid on worgteds under protest since the of the March Set will be refunded. The inteution of Congress undoubtedly was to levy thirty centon these goods; Dut is appears that the reading the law was such as to allow of the decision above recorded. A still higher rate of duty than that intended should be levied by the forthcoming tariff act.
