The Military Commissions Governor Hammond, while in office, on application, rilled the vacancies in the office) of Brigadier General in th eleven districts in the State, and in strict compliance with the law, commissioned the field and staff officers a pointed and recommended by those officers. Governor Hammond, ami Mr. Dunham, the late Secretary of State, while in office made out, signed, and placed the seal upon about three hundred of these commissions, and recorded the appointments according to law. After Mr. Morton took the (rovernorship, Mr. Peelle having succeeded Mr. D jr linn in the Secretaryship, he went to Mr. Peelle':) office and took possession of the commissions ret remaining in the office uncalled for. Yesterday, some of the appointees sent the lawful fees for issuing the commissions, but they were found missing. The Secretary said Governor Morton had taken them away. On application to Governor Morton, and tender of the fees, he refused to deliver the commissions, saying that as the law would be repealed in a few davs, he would not give them up. Moral. The Republicans just now are sticklers for the enforcement of the laws and faithful observance cf constitutional obligations. Governor Morton has just taken the oath of office, pledging himself faithfully to observe the laws of the State. One of his first acts is to disregard these obligations and to usurp authority in clear violation of duty. Will he go unrebuked at the bands cf those who claim to be par excellence otwiau of law and constitutional obligations. ee at tbe Mew York Jsuroyl if ConoM rr c . ie Fa.na.lt Paus, December 77 lb. The last dnys of thedyin vear are fast waning to tbe close of this year 160 the principal feature (in the atmospheric world) of which has been a deluge. A co temporary writer says, with truth, that "we have lived on a sunless earth and under a cloudy sky . In weather which was neither winter nor summer, which might have come any lay in the year, and would have been bad weather for any "time. " It faul changer d ennui so fo- the last week, in.itd of rain, we are enjovinp snow; and yet, regardless of the unpropitious elements, crowds are thronging, grouping, animating every place of public resort. The booths on the Boule yards are besieged with buyers of knick-knacks and inutilities the shops are decked out in New I Year's trim with newly invented and costly etren.net. T ie most stylish and recherche gift for the Jour de V An is decidedly the new volumes I for holiday photographic miniature, or vi-iting i c 5 en es oi unstoi ooara rrames are i in rich bindings of morocco and ilt. and ornamented with artistic taste. Not even far-famed bon bon establishment present a more inviting appearance than do the fashionable ' depo for perfumery. That of I-Jclle, is stored with preciou scents and cosmetics and pomatums, with perfumed sultan es and sachets, fine brushes mounted in ircrv, and all the other necessary appurtenances for the toilette, so coquettishly done up, so prettily ornamented, that they form a favorite and appropriate New Year's offering. Brilliant toiletts are in preparation for the fes tivities that commence with the 1st of January. A change has been officially announced in the ! usual routine of the Court ceremonials. The i deep mourning of the Empress precludes the full dress evening reception of the 3d of January, but Her Majesty will appear at the State balls, the suppression of which would be a great loss to the j commercial world, who gather a rich harvest from ! the lavish expenditure on extravagant costumes and luxurious entertainments The Imperial attire will be all white, the absence of color in full j dress toilette, forming the Court mourning. Among the beautiful coiffures displayed in the show-rooms of Madame Amtonine, the newes modes are iie Empress, the Czarine, and the Ducke head dresses. The Empress coiffure is of Magenta, red velvet and gold, with feathers. The Czarine is the oM stvle of toqoe, of purple velvet embroidered with pearls. The JhtchtM coiffure if formed with a gold barbe, and an onuinient of white terry velvet striped with gold; a httlf crown of green leaves, with long bunches ot white fuchsias hang down on one side. Like the bonnets, all coiffures are worn on the top of the head: flowers form a diadem, and the simtder nets of gold or coral are decorate I with a arge bow on the top of the head. Small women rejoice in thi change of fashion, fancying that a high head dress and an inch of heel add to the stature and to the grace of the figure. The Ca ml rt. i and Lama lace manufacturer of European celebrity exhibits a large assortment of mantillas andfhawls expressly intended for even ing and morning entertainment. There are small low necked lace mantles decorated with one, two or three deep lace flounces; small rounded Cambrai shawls also finished with lace flounces. The renowned fabricant of pocket handkerchiefs, Ghapron, has prodnced the winter toilette, novelties to match, and intended to le carried with the scarlet Zomaee jackets. The handker chiefs are embroidered with arabesques in Ma genta and Sulferina colors. It appears fVm the statement of General de Montauban. that European luxury i far surpas-ed by Chinese extravagance. This officer, in a let ter addressed to the Minister f War. n s ' It would be impossible for me to describe the wonders of the Imperial Palace; nothing in Europe can give an :dea of such gorpeons luxury."

We, the Senator and Representatives of the people of Indiana, in General Assembly convened, have read with pain in the telegraphic messages of the country, f the intent of a body of men in tbe Southern States of this Confederacy, to compel all vessels navigating the waters of the Misriasippi river to heave to and be examined : and whereas, we believe that we should be unmindful of our duty to oar constituents, unjust to Indiana and the great North-west if we should not speak oat upon the qaretion of the free and unobstructed navigation of the Mississippi, upon whose waters float annually hundreds of millions dollars worth of our commerce and U-n of thousands of our c;t:z-n-: Therefore. B it rtmirtd by the Gtntrtti Atutemhty of the SUUe of Indiana. That under no circumstances can we see the mouth of the Mississippi, or any portion thereof, in the hands of any foreign power, or recognize the right of any power, government or et of men to hinder, delay or obstruct the free navigation of the rame, atid that if our boats or vessels of any kind or character, when peaceably navigating the waters of said river, are molested, disturbed, or hindered in any way or manner by any governments foreign to ours, or even professing or declaring themselves so to be, or by any body of men pretending to act by the authority of State or Nation, would be by us considered a heinou offense upon our people and the people of the whole North-west, and that we pledge to the people of the mighty Valley of the Mississippi to ue all our endeavors to preserve their long vested rights, and in case all means fail to preserve our right to navigate in peace and quiet said stream, we pledge our united and undivided support to such means as the necessities of the case may require to protect oar commerce and our people.

The two houses adjourned, at the usual hour, until Monday at two o'clock P. M. The following are the resolutions offered by Mr. Holcomb referred to in the Senate in House proceedings in this wee'ks paper: Titthf HitnoriiJe the Semite ami of A'e-reent'i-tirex of the United Statt in ( 'nigrtt it-rnbtetl; The State of Indiana, by her Seuators and Representatives in General Assembly convened, respectfully memorializes and re)resents to your honorable bodies that she views with the utmost anxiety the perilous condition of the American Union; that she, moved by an imperative sense of duty to our common country in addressing the Congress of the United States on the porteutious condition of public affairs, imploring prompt action ou some scheme of pacification that will preserve the Federal Union and restore tranquil ity to the country. Entertaining, as vour memorialist does, the

most profound collection of the blessings, as well as the threatened dangers of the Union, she is ready to make great sacrifices to eqetuate the one and avert the other. At a time like this, when the foundations of the National government are shaken and its pillars crumbling away, it is the solemn duty of every State in the American I'nion to discard all spe cioiis fallacies in regard to slavery all blind resentment for supposed agressions all pride and sectional animosities, and all partisan crimina tions, and forgetting the mutual provocations of the past, bring all offensive doctrines and plat form, all abstract theories aud barren creeds, as itices ii)on the altar of a common country. The State of Indiana, not unmindful of her position and duty in this respect as a conservative State of the Union, solemnly invokes the wisdom and patriotism of the national Congress to tha no ble work of fostering loyalty to the Federal Government, strengthening the bonds of the Union, removing all disturbing causes, staying the tide of revolution and piving a peaceful solution to the great problem of the age. The labors and sacrifice of an immortal ances try in devising this beautiful and complicated form Of Federal Government, the experiment of chil ized man for self government, the happiness, the prosperity, the civilization and the destiny of the American race hang, it is believed, upon the speedy and effective action of the American Congress. Events of an age are crowding themselves into hours, events of an incalculable magnitude, fraught with the issues of Union or I)i-uiiini , peace or war, the rise or fall of a great empire. The State of Indiana can not but deplore the sectional madness and party infatuation that would suffer the dismemberment of this confederacy on any theory that the supposed integrity of platform is of greater consequence than the existence of this Government. She takes great pride at this critical junction in declaring to her sister States that the records of her past legislatipn are not sustained b nullify ing laws or personal liberty bills. While tbe State of Indiana is firmly attached to the Union of the States, and regards the un broken peace of the country as an indispensible condition of its continuance, and while she denies the asserted Constitutional right of any State to secede from the Federal Union, and while nhe recognizes a plain duty in the Federal Government - to enforce the Federal laws, und maintain Feilo ral supremacy over Federal property, yet she recognizes the duty and policy of ..loderatioti anil forbearance on the part of the Federal Government toward the seceding State-, and that at thi junction, only the civil power of the Govern ment can safely be used to enforce the laws, and in behalf of the I'nion and peaceful enforcement of the laws, the State of Indiana exhort the Ha tional Government to second, by legislation, the efforts of the Executive to enforce theism bj civil process. And while the Stare of Indiana recognizes, as a last resort, the inalienable ripht of revolution by a State tor sufficient cause, and she does not regard the election of Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency alone a sufficient cause for revolution, yet in frankness and justice to her lister State-, she is bound to say, that the aggregate of grievances which the South has sustained at the hands of the North, including the election of a sectional President, upon a simple anti-slavery issue, does furnish good ground of alarm to the slaveholding States, and justifies them in demanding conees sions and new guarantees for the safety of their institution. The State of Indiana, therefore, not wholly despairing of the Republic, but greatly at a loss for an adequate remedy for the impending eat atrophe of a disrupted Government, regards with great favor the series of propositions lately submitted by the Hon. John J. Crittenden to the Senate of the United States, as furnishing a basis for an adjustment which shall withdraw the further agitation of slaverv from the National councils, as well as from Northeru politics; correct public sentiment in the North: secure tin return of the disloyal States: save the land of Washington from a sanguinary war; preserve the honor and prestige of the American name, and perpct uate the libcties of a people who have wantonly Ct them at -take to abide the fortunes of Revo rion, and the arbitrament of the sword. For these, among other reason, the State of Indiana prays for prompt action by the Congress of the I nited State in the passage of said pnpo -itioiis, looking to an amendment of the Federal Constitution, to meet the exigencies of the case; ami further, the State of Indiana looking to the possible defeat of said scheme of adjustment, and inoking to the fearful progress of the revolution, which must inevitably carry with it the pillars of the Constitution and insure the horrors of civil war. she BpSJS, in that event, that your Honorable bodies will unite in calling a National Convention of the States to consider amendments to the Con stitution of the United State. In conclusion, your memorialist repeals that the solution of the impending calamities is to le found in concilia tion and compromise, and not in the ower of the sword, which, if once drawn, will never be re turned until every State in the Union has !ecome a blood stained desert. She asks that, the people of the nation may have an opportunity of speaking with their own lips, and their own tonsrue. and from their own hearts, and not through the doubtful and uncertain medium of political oracles. Therefore. Repaired hy the House of Rrirrxeritatireg, the Senate concur rin (j, That copies of the foregoing memorial, certified by the President and Secre tary of the Senate, and by the Speaker and Clerk of the House of Representatives, be and tnif are hereby directed to lie forwarded to askhigton t'ity. and one copy to the Vice President of the Unite 1 States, and the other to the Speaker of the House of Rejiresentatives. to be by them laid, lie fore the bodies over which they respect ivelv pre side.

Mr. Ten Eyck presented the jietition of H. J. Wood praying for the appointment of delegates to a national convention to promote the general welfare of the country , to be held at Philadelphia. The Crittenden resolutions were taken up. The Crittenden resolutions were postponed till Monday. Private bills were considered.

Mr. Green offered another amendment changing the Ixmndary of Kansas, which was lost by the same vote. Kxecuth e session. Adjourned. HOUSE Mr. Moore, of Kentucky, rising to a privileged explanation, said, if Mr. Adrain' resolution, heretofore adopted, had simply endorsed the conduct of Major Anderson he w ould have voted for it, but he could not receive the permission of his mind to vote for the remainder of the resolution, to sav bv so doing he would indorse every act which the President might regard a- his Constitutional duty in carrying out the laws and preserving the union. While he was for the Union, believing he thus represented the people of Kentucky, he thought duty required us to pause before we periled the whole Union, and bring on a general conflict aud war. He did not believe in the right of a State to secede. He regarded this as the greatest heterodoxy ever advocated by any party, but while he said this, all must recognize the right of revolution for the re sistance of oppression on the one side to serve freedom on the other. He did not believe the time has arrived to resort to this means of redress and for the precipitation of so dreadful a catastrophe. He did not believe the present was the proper time to send reinforcements to South Car olina and the other Southern States We -lmuld lir-it ite and endeavor to get back by peace what might be considered necessary to secure by force. He would not have made this explanation if it were not for i.'.-c fact that he had letters (U' stioning or disappr n ing his course for voting against Mr. Adrain's resolution. He reieated that he fully indorsed Major An derson's conduct, but was unwilling, in advance, to indorse the conduct of the Administration. Mr. Scott, rising to a question of privilege, said that Capt. Darling, the Assistant Doorkeeper, had ejected from the floor a visiting gentleman who was admitted on the Democratic side of the House, and requested him to leave the grounds. That was contrary to the rules. Looking to the Republican side, he (Mr. Scott) said there was one who was not a member, yet allowed to remain. It showed a disgusting partiality and pre judice. i he House went into Committee of the hole on the army bill. Mr. Pendleton, of Ohio, said, at a former period of the day he had ineffectually sought to obtain the fioor to present the petition oi 111,000 citizens of Cincinnati, praying Congress to pass the Crittenden compromise. He could not have a better introduction . eiul was more grateful to himself than the evidence of a sincere desire and determination of purpose of those who honored him with a seat, to settle the pending troubles by conciliation and a compi-omise of peace. Thev had now under consideration the army bill; pertinent to this was another subject, viz: the bill introduce! by Mr. Bingham for the collection of the revenue at Charleston. He referred to the provision of this bill authorizing the President, in Iiis discretion, to collect the revenue by establishing a custom house on shijiboard; the collector to seize and detain any vessel until the duties on the cargo are paid, and in order to execute this duty. tlie army uno navy be employed, tic. He commented on the extraordinary and dangerous power conferred on a subordinate officer of the customs, it being given w ithout limitation and control. The bill was not universal in its application, but was intended only to apply to South Carolina in the discretion of tbe President. It plain I; , paljmbly contravened the Constitution, which provides that no preferences shall be given to the port of one State over those of another. He would not debate whether there Was legal or efficient cause for secession of the South. tain Southern States have committed the act with a unanimity without a parallel within the UsSSTj of revolution. He said if this bill was passed, not a dollar would be collected at Charleston If an army could maintain the Union, half a million would spring to arms in a night. If money could keep it together, the soil would leap with joy to pro duce its golden harvest. If the blood of old and young men could save it. it would flow like the streams which water the soil. But an arrav of blood and money w ill not preserve the Union. Justice, reason and peace may do what force can not compel. He opposed coercion as impracticable and contrary to the genius of the Constitution and our own interests. Two communications were received from the War Department. One was referred to the Finance Committee. A communication was read from the Naval Dejwrtment relative to information on various subjects connected with the naval establishments. Referred to the Committee. Mr Sherman said his colleague Mr. Pendle ton, instead of reproaching the Republicans, should have addressed those who have contributed to the present excitement. It was our duty to defend the Government. If the Government attempts to oppress a State, he should oppose it himself. The army had never been used to op pre- a State, except in the case of Kan-a- Mr. Sherman asked, where was the fault in this eon troversy? Who was in the wrong? The De mocracy heretofore contr lied the army and navy, and the Republicans, who are anxious to assume the Government, will do no wrong. They will not trespass upon the rights. He asked, what has been done in South Carolina? She h i- closed her xrt, thus preventing the collection of the revenue by the Federal Government, and ajplying it to her own uses, seized arms and has eh en notifications of turning them against the United State He said tiring on the Star of the West was war. This (Joy eminent i more fertig than any ever before instituted. He reI to other seizures of public pmperty by other State;, asking, if such acts were by foreign power, would not every one of us demand men and money to repel such assault- at all hazards? He also referred to the planting of cannon on the banks of the Mississippi at Vicksburg, to compel vessels to stop and give an account of themselves, and agreed with his colleagM that the Mississippi must be kept free to the Ocean. Mr. Branch said the report was without founda tion. Mr. Sherman hoped it was. Mr. Crawford said the report was prevalent that Gen. Scott was preparing to make a descent on the Southern States, and owing to such apprehen sions. doubt les. cannon had Ix-en placed for lie fen-e He would do the same thing himself. Mr. Sherman Our Hag ha been tired into. The question was whether to defend the public property from enemies at home and abroad, wherever the flag floats. Freedom will die with this Re public, and the country will be worse than Mexico under Northern and Southern military despotism. lh appealed to the border slave States to arrest the progress of existing wrongs. Let us see if there is no hope of peace and conciliation. If w e can not agree, let us fight: if wc can agree, let us do it like men, and not hurry on to destruction. If the differences are not reconciled, he saw noth ing bnl civil war. He vouhi never allow Fort Sumter to be sur rendered at discretion. He would give South Carolina license to leave the Confederacy to morrow, but where the flag floats, it's our bonn J den duty to protect it, and the army hould 1 j employed for this purpose. He did not believe the ; South would listen to conciliation, but was bent ; on dissolution. The position occupied by the ' Republicans when the Missouri compromise was repe lled yas now maintained. Give Mr. Lincoln's Administration a fair trial, and it will le found just to all sections. The Territorial question is the only real question of disturbance Slavery ' in not ex'-t north of 36 dcg. 30 nibi The con-

tet between slavery and freedom was fought in Kansas two years ago. He couldn't vote for Mr. Crittenden's propositions, giving his reasonsthere for. In conclusion, he said if the Republican Administration docs not do right, millio is in the North will stand by you. Mr. Crawford followed in explanatory remarks in defense of the position of South Carolina, concluding by saying he would die defending his rights. Mr. Hill, responding to Mr. Sherman, said the South was approachable with reason, and ap pealed for conciliation. Mr. Hill wished it Inirne in mind that he belonged not to that class of men who would dismember the Union. He would ask (e irgia, after seceding to have the manliness to refuse a reconstruction and stand out alone; there would be dignity if not safety in such a step. Mr. Davis, of Massachusetts Will you take the platform of the Constitutional Union Party, which declares for the Union, the Constitution aud enforcement of the laws? Mr. Hill I understand that platform; I was one of its framers. 31 r. D .we 1 suppose you will Mi yourself to it. Mr. Hill Do you respect that platform? Mr. Dawesi I respect, regard and uphold every obligation of the Constitution and every law passed under it. Mr. Hill I am glad to hear you say so, and hope you will administer a severe rebuke to the Governor of Messachusetts for not concurring with your views. Laughter. Mr. Dawes There is no gentleman more tme to the Constitution and Union than Massachusetts and its Governor. Mr. Hill I say the out going Governor. Mr. Bank.-, i a better observer of the Constitution than Andrew. He conclude 1 by appealing to gentlemen to take Crittenden's compromise. He had listened with pleasure to Seward's speech because it was a modification of his former opinions. After tiirther proceedings Mr. Burnett offered an amendment that no force be employed against a seceding State. Rejected. The army bill then paed. Adjourned.

From Washington. WAaHisoTos, Friday, January IS. The Alabama Senators to-day were notified by telegraph from the President of the Convention not to leave their seats until they are further informed. The trouble is in the refusal of the del egates from North Alabama to sign the ordinance unless the time for secession is ostponed till the 4th of March. In the deficiency bill for appropriating $350,000 for carrying the mail from New York to San Francisco the name of Cornelius V underbill was stricken out.

The Senate was in executive session four hours. Mr. Holt was finally confirmed 3 against 13. The bill introduced by McKean, in the House, on Monday, was to repeal the law making Chariest n, Georgetown and Beaufort ports of entry, even in time of peace. The collection of revenue at the-e port costs more than it amounts to. Mr. McKem dcires to stop foreign trade, and send sufficient force to blockade the hariors.

The question discussed over Holt's nomination was whether he wa- a co-operutionist; his friends denying it. and maintaining that it is his eirnest desire to prevent bliMxlshe 1. but to maintain the laws b. everv possible peaceful means. During the debate on the nomination Mr. Crittenden is said to have taken the ground that as Kentucky is now a central State, enjoying all the prosperity consequent upon the present Union and form of Government, she never would consent to its breaking up ami the formation of a Southern confederncy of which she would be a bonier State expose 1 to all the danger and lo.es of such a position. It is said he was affected during this portion of his remarks, and the manner in which lie upbraided Southern men yvho defeated hicompromise in the Senate yvas very severe. He took the position that the Union must be preserved at all hazards, either by jieaceable means or force; and force used against the lawless citizens of a Got ernment is not coercion of a State. The s;ech being unexpected ere ited great MWIISIHSI among the Senators. The Indian office is in receipt of late intelligence that 5,000 Sioux are collected on a fork of the Platte and threiten to take Fort Kearney and wipe out the white settlers and stop all emigration ottwani.
