We want no indirect trade, through the Yankee factors of New York and Philadelphia, who have so long filled .their purges with Southern wealth and kept us dependent upon them. We want .o facilities given to Yankee manufacturers and shipmasters to foice upon us their j goods and chattels at unnatural I created by either laws or treaties. Whatever is needed for tbe defence of the Confederate Government can make or tiisnufaoture. But, as to all else, When we once get rid of the fetters and shagklex put up - on our trade by the onesided, nnconstitu?

A Richardson, now in the Feutral House of Representatives, has been elected by the Illinois Legislature to the vacant seat in the Uni'ed States Senate. Last week in the House Mr. Richardson made a speech southing the gorilla. lie Baid : Mb, Ciiairman : The annual message recently sent to this house by the President of the United States is the most remarkable o: any that lias ever been delivered to Congress. It is remarkable for what it says, and still more remarkable for what it omits to ?ny . One lialfoftbe twenty one pages which it covers is devoted to the negro. N?> page, no sentence no line, no word, is given to land, or even to mention, the bravery and gallantry, or e?'en the good conduct of our soldiers in the various bloody battles wbirh h ive |been fought. No ?orrow ji expressed for I the lamented dead. No allusion is made to the maimed or wounded. No sympathy .is tendered to the sorrowing widow and to the helpless orphan made during the progress uf ihjg war, which couU have been avoided by honorable compromise, if the Pre-ident and his friends had chosen to do so. Sir, it is a remarkable document. It is an exiraoranmry raesjage, when we come to think of its sum and substance. To feed, clotbr, Imy and colonize the negro, we ace to tax and inortgHg* the white man and liis children. The wl.ite rade id to be burdeued to the earth for the benefit of the black race. . I A friend of mine from N> w England the other day made a mathematical analysis of the message. He said one from one and naught remains. Naught from nacgbt and the message remains.

Th? report being circulated that the retrograde movement of our army at MurTreesboro' was ordered by the General Commanding in opposition to the advice of Corps and Diviiion Commander**, in not sustained by the truth. The movement was suggested by two division atid sustain ed by v corps commander, after 12 o'clock on he night ol '.he 2d inM,, and was then rejected by the General Commanding. On the morning of the 8d inst. .the General ascertained that all the Corpg and Divie ion uummanuera concurred in the opinion that the army should be withdrawn, and not in its then worn condition put to the hnzuid of another general engagement, lie about the same time learned the fact of reinforcements having been received by the enemy. It wm then that he yielded his op losition and ordered the movement. Suppose the General hntK^dhered to hjg, first determinatioi^and dTOfl^gjjJcj'^'been the result, what would have been nis^position then ? If this movement did command the approbation of every Brigade -^rVWH^and Com^goinmander, then present with the Srmy, I have?Bdi to hear of the exception.

It wap the infamously n jtoriona E gth Missouri, noted for every kind of inhuman outrage and lb? burning of a large portion of the city of Memphis?. General Smith, the leader of th:s desperate band, was mortally wouuded. Smith's reputation for .swindling operations while at Memphis is equal to Lhnt of his infamous command, and none will say that lie did not deserve his fate.
