NASHVILLE, November 16.-The Senate, to-day, passed Senator Trimble's blood? thirsty resolutions, demanding the blood of Davis and other prominent rebel leaders, by a vote of 15 to 3. Those voting in the negative wore Bowen, Frazer, of Knox? ville, and Lazaler. Prom Alabama.. MONTGOMERY, November 23.-Governor Parsons' message to the Legislature urges the adoption of the constitutional amend? ment abolishing slavery and thc passage of laws for thc protection of negroes in person and property. This course, he says, v IV secure tho admission of Repre? sentativos in Congress and restore tho State to all her political rights. French and Fenian Scare. NEW YORK, November 23.-The state? ment made on the 10th instant that the French Government had complained to the custom authorities against five steamers and sundry persons (the former as destined to transport arms, Ac, to Mexico,) iras substantially correct. An extract from an official Btates that a clearance was refused a steamer until she had been examined by Collector King, tho collector giving as a reason for this course that he had received protests against severn1 vessels in port, said to be preparing for illicit purposes against the French and British commerce. From Mexico. WASHINGTON, November 24.-New Or? leans and Mexican advices state that the Liberal army is encamped nine miles from Matamorad, and are confident of th? speedv capture of that place and Bagdad. Highly important communications have passed between the commander of thc Im? perial fleet and thc Liberal commander at Brownsville. General Meyer issued an order prohibit? ing persons from crossing from the Ameri? can side to Matamoras, or vice versa. Tho Liberals are reported in force eight miles from Matamoras. From Mississippi. JACKSON MISSISSIPPI, November 23.-A bill has passed the House of Delegates al? lowing freedmen to testify when parties to thc record. General Humphreys has telegraphed to the President relative to tho withdrawal of colored troops. He replied that it will be dono when order is maintained without them. There is no disposition on the part of the Government to dictate, but simply to advise a beneficial policy. Governor Humphreys' message to the Legislature recommends that negro testi? mony be admitted in the courts, and the passage of laws to encourage freedmen to support their families and educate their children. He thinks that thc passage of these measures will secure the withdrawal of tho troops. Admission of Southern Congressmen. WASHINGTON, November 22.-An inter? esting feature of tho political situation is that of members of Conercss elect who may be willing to take tho oath. Mr. Forney sometime since stated that such should be admitted. Tho President has stated as much, but under the Colfax pro? gramme, they cannot be until their States have made laws in consistence with the .Declaration of Independence, and the people have endorsed tho action of their recent State conventions. But under the laws of the United States, States aro dis? tricted for cboico of Congressmen, who are accredited as from certain established districts. When persons aro elected by the people of such districts, how can they be kept from their seats in the House? I hear from several quartos to-dav that the President is very firm in his policy of a prompt restoration of tho Southern States. The conduct of the British Government in surrendering the Shenandoah to the United States is not regarded in any quarter as deserving of especial commen? dation, unless tho act he accompanied by compensation commensurate with the damages heretofore committed on Ameri? can shipping by tho English built and English recognized cruisers. From Washington. WASHINGTON, November 23.-It is stated that Mr. Colfax will be on tho ground hore until Congress meets. He will thus have great advantage in manipulating members as thor come, in advance, to his interest as candidate for Speaker, and as champion of severe measures against the South. The Boston Post has it that General Banks, the "little iron man," will bea candidate for Speaker, ar*l the Chicago T?mes calls upon Mr. Raymond to run on juste milieu position advocated by him and carried in the Republican State Convention of New York. In a caucus of Republican members it may he found necessary to harmonize views before there will be unity of action for the House officers. It is rumored hero that Dr. Powell, State agent of North Carolina, has gono to that State with a view to preparo the way for the inauguration of Mr. Worth a? Go? vernor. He is invariably spoken of here by all North Carolinians as an excellent man, and one little identified with original secession. General Butler is expected hero soon. He will probably play rather a large part in politics next winter, Massachusetts be? ing on a high horse. It is said that Mr. Colfax is not in the usnal confidential relations at thc Whits House. I hear that radical members of thc House are moving in concert to prevent th? appointment of Mr. Davis, of Massa? chusetts, as Chairman of the Committee on Elections. The (Jon federate ram Stonewall was forced by the gale to put into Beaufort harbor on Sunday. The Stonewall will arrive here in time to be examined by the court martial now try? ing Commodore Craven for not attacking her ai Ferrol, in March but. WASHINGTON, November 24.-The Con? federate ram Stonewall arrived this morn The President has rt . ok? i the proclama? tion of rewards offered 'ot tho arrest of Jacob Thompson, Boverly Tncker, Saund? ers, Cleary and Surratt. Thn ol?!m? for the rcvrard offered fr? thc apprehension of Booth and others associat? ed with him are to be determined by a special commission. It ia stated that Judge Magrath and Mr. Seddon hare beon released on parole. The President has directed that no letters patent be granted to any person residing in recent insurrectionary districts, without satisfactory proof of loyalty is furnished. Our Relations with Mexico. The appointment of General Logan as Minister of the United States to the Republic of Mexico is commemo? rated by the opportune intelligence of a Liberal success. The capture of Monterey by the Republican forces under Genend Poma gives token that the elements of armed opposition to the Empire still exist in the Mexican people themselves, and all the edicts and proclamations of Maximilian can? not alter or conceal the fact, that successful armies are disputing his title upon the very soil over which he claims dominion. If the military power of the two self-created Empe? rors cannot protect an important and populous city from the assaults of the "robbers and guerillas." as they aro called, that uphold the cause of Juarez, the imperial decrees that pronounce the Empire to be fixed and stable are, to say the least, a little premature. The Liberals have cer? tainly exhibited a constancy worthy of the cause to which they are de? voted ; and, although they have been unable to repel the splendid legions of France, drilled to perfection and supplied with the most formidable engines of modern warfare, they have earned the right to be considered legitimately in the field as defenders of the flag of their Republic, and are entitled to the privileges of belliger? ents and to the respect that is due to patriotism and valiant soldiership. Our people, therefore, will regard the misson of Logan as a proper manifestation of friendly relations between the United States and the rightful Government of Mexico. His appointment is a recognition of the existence of the Mexican Republic and a formal denial of the existence of the Empire. But, it is rumored, that this mission is not intended to be fulfilled in good faith; that it is simply a contrivance to bring before the Administration an official report of the absence of political essence on the part of the adherents of Juarez; in brief, that Gen. Logan is to act the farce of searching for what he does not propose to find, and to return his credentials with the report that tho Government to which they are ac? credited "non est inventus." We trust that no such contemptible intrigue is in contemplation. Our policy upon ; the Mexican question should be frank, direct and explicit. Our Government would be dishonored if it descended to subterfuge or evasion to escape the consequences of its own apathy and inaction hitherto. It is true, that the unanimous voices of our national legislators have pledged this Govern? ment to sustain the Liberal cause; it is true, that the sentiment of our people is in earnest sympathy with Juarez; nevertheless, if it is deter? mined that the pledge shall not be redeemed, let it be so stated, without " prevarication and without chance of being misunderstood. If the Mexi? can patriots are to be deserted, let them know it at once. They have been fed with promises and beguiled with hopes too long already. The last Congress was very demonstrative and enthusiastic in expressing its sentiment upon the subject, and from the intensity of feeling thus exhibited, the J naris ts had every reason to rely upon our practical aid at the first opportunity. Buoyed with the hope thus forced upon them, they con? tinued the struggle that they might otherwise have abandoned. Let us not betray them further with an ignis \futans. This Government is the arbiter of their destinies, and they deserve better from us than to be held in suspense, when their nationality, their liberty, everything dear to pa? triots, depend upon the judgment we shall render. Whatever may be the decision, give it utterance, and let us stand before the world without a mask, whether as friend or foe. [New York News.
