The Richmond Exqrinrn, of the 7th, hae a reply to s correspondent, whe inquires :—'' What mean these rumors of Senstomal Commitsees approach YORK, FRIDAY, MARCH ing the Prestient to submit terme of eubmission ? Isthat reorttrue? Are amy @enators or Repre- ventetives whipped ? Have they approached the President to press upon him euy such baie propo- sitions? Who were the Senators! What were the propositiona ¥ Is there aay plen on foo to force the President to compromise with eubjuge- tion or resien ? Is there any one else ready to Volunteer rooignation in case he is forced to racato his place, aud if he does, who is proposed to fill that place? Is any attempt made by ramors w create the impression that Gen Lee is ready to consider terms for laving down arms under the Pretext of preventing the enfferings and sacrifices of @ forced surrender? Who are busy in these ans «oof = surrendering to subjugation pesk out; the crisis demands Lolduess and decision and determined resistance to interna! as weil a8 oxternal enemies, The worst enemies who now depress us are the SC ee seceders. This hour of agony i# no time for factious oppos.iton or for paltering with peace Propositions, which can lead to nothing but des. pair, relaxation and ruin. Terme of reconstruc- hon now coming from Congress are nothing else but subjugation, Let us know the worst, that the summary remedy may be applied.” The Exqvraen, in response to its correspondent, says, itcannot answer all questions asked, for want of information, and then goos on in the fol- lowing revrarkable and significant language, show. ing Uns istakeably thet the rebellion is in its desth thrors; “That there in'@ party of whipped seceders tn ‘and about Richmond, cannot be denied. They are cowed and cowardly, miseral le wretches, who brought the war upon the country, and who would now surrender to the enemy. Wo havo no doubt bus that there wasn plan on foot to force Mr. Davis to resign, and that Mr Biephene had cousented to resign, so that Mr. Hunter, an Pree dent of the Senate, would becoine Proskient. The Plan, we hope and believe, has miscarried, Atany rete, the conspirators may underatand, that if they should succeed, they will have placed a barren sceptre in their gripe, thence to be wrenched by an unlineal band, no son of theirs succeeding Robert F, Lee, by and with the consent of the aimy and the people, will grasp the sceptre they may wrench from the hands of Mr Davis, and wield it for the safety and security of his country's liberty sud jadepe: al of whipped soceders shall capitulate this country inte y and crouch at the footstool of Mr, Lincoln. Congress has utterly failed. Ik is incompetent, and is domg much injury. It hes aeither capacity nor courage, and js wanting in firmness and resolution. It is unfit for revolution, The very men who wero the foremost to secede are the first to surrender. A single head and a single arm is now needed ; and if Congress would consult its patriotism it would entrust all power with the Pre sident and General Lee, and go home. The Vir- ginia State banks can furnish one or two millions in gold, and this will secure the supplies now necded. Let the Legislature promptly act and turn the gold over to General Lee. The Congress jadefunct, The couniry no longer looks to it for e@ay aidin the struggle. The negroes bave been withheld until itis uow nearly too late. The cur- rency is beyond their power to help. Those who te!k now of compromise mean submission to Bub- Jugation.
