The report, though b:i-V contains the'most iinpe-'tant ..pacage. After some introductory remarks. ; Mr. Seward said : "What shall I speak of or about! The call of your, meeting specifies the . suVject. Lut first let me say I arti not here RS an alarmist. I ara rot here to say that the na tion is in peril or in danger ; in peril if you adopt the opinions, or i;i peril if you rfject them ; iu peril if you adopt the views of tie apparent or rea! majority of Congress, or ii vivo rrj-iCt them*; it is not in peril any way ; nor dr? I think the cause of liberty and hu man freedom, the cause Cl progress and ame lioration or civilization, tue caus? of iiatir>:::.l aggrandizement, present or future, material or moral, is in danger of being long arrested, whether )*ou adopt one set of political opin ions-or another. The Utiion, that is to cay, the nation, hns been re*s<-uci frbm-'all its perils. .The noble fbip has passed from tempest and bil lows into thc vcrg-V t f a sife h .rbor, and is now securely riding into heraucieut moor ings without a Broken spar or a leak, star board arid larboard, fore and n.'t. There are some small reefs yet to pass as she approaches the.-e moorings. Ono pilot says she may safely enter directly through them j thc other SAYS that 6he must back, and by lowering .sail take lime to go around ihcm. It is mere ly a difference of opinion between the pilots. I think them both siucere and honest, but tic vessel will go in safely one way or thc other. " The worst that can happen will be that by taking the wrong instead of thc right pas sige, or even taking thc right passage and avoiding the wrong one, the vessel may roi i a little, and >orcc honerf, capable and even de serving political statesmen. President, or oren Congressmen may get T .bede v. rboard. If this cannot be helped, it cm be borno. ll I am cn? of the unfortunate*, let no friend be concerned on that account. A? hotest, ai good or capable politicians, statesmen, or 1'reshlcnt, will make their appearance IK re ader faster than will be needed to command the ship, as well and as wisely as any that have heretofore stalked their hour on deck. Although I do not think we are in a crisis, tue question to-day is worthy of deliberate examination and consideration." Mr. Soward tuen went on to specify the issue between thc President aud Congress, and supported the veto of the Freedmen's Bureau bil!. Ile as much as announced that a proclamation would soon come forth, an nouncing the Union restored, when bethought the Freedmen's Bureau should cease its ope rations. Ile fully supported the President's policy. . Mr. Seward drew a happy illustration from the farce of the " Nervous Man and Man ot Nerve," aud remarked thati: this, I think, is the difference between th.? Presideut, who is a man of nerve, iu the Executive chair at "Washington, and the nervous men who are in the House of Representa'ives. The Pres ident is in harmony with all the States that were in rebellion. Every executive depart ment and judicial department are in opera tion, or are rapidly resuming the exercises of their functions. Loyal repiesentalives, more or less from these States, men .vh -se loyalty mv-'be fried by any constitutional or legis lative test, are now standing at the doors ol Congress, and have been standing there for threo months past, asking to be admitted to slats which disloyal repr?sentai ives, in vio lence of the rights and duties of the States, as well as of the sovereignty of the Union, had recklessly abandoned. These representa.ives, after a lapse of three mouths, yet rcma:n outside thc chamber, while Congress passes law Bier law, impos ing burden ofter b?rdeu, and duly after du ty, upon the States which thus, agaiust their earnestly expressed desires, are left without representation. So far as 1 can judge of hu man probabilities, I feel sure that loyal men from the now loval Stator will sooner or later, al this sCision, or at some other, by this Congress, or pome other, bc received into thc legislature of the nation. When .this shall have been done, the process of restoration will be compUt'd, for that is a!l that now re mains to be done. Tho President thinks that the transition stage bas nearly pvsed, and the original pro vision for the freedmen's bureau is all that is necessary to secure thc end in view *. while tie bill submitted by Congress stems to him t . give ii indefinite extension in time of peace and restoration. He vetoed it for that reason. He declines to accept, as uar.eces-arv ar.d uncalled for, the 1,01)0 or 10,000 agents, the i -.creased powers, and the augmented treasure w'uich Congress insists on placiug in hi;' bauds. C-Ogress, on the other hand, thir ka that the freedmen's bureau is not adequate, and that more patronage, more money, and more pow er, should, like Thompson's door-plate, pur chased at auction by Mrs. Tcodles, be a good thing *.o have in a house. I ?grce wita the President in tho hope that the extraordinary proviaion which the bill makes will not be necessary, but that the whole question may be simplified by sim pie reference to the existing law. Mr. 8. w ad co rcluded as follows : . '. It will bs a sad hour for the republic when the refus il of unnecessary powe rs, trea sure and patron ige by the President shall be held to be a^ crime. Wheu it shall be so considered, the tims will have arrived for 8 ittieg up at tho White llonse an imperial throne, and surrounding tho Executive with impet tal legions. ' Mr. Soward w:ts cheered with great ap plause throughout his entire speech. Congressional. WASHINGTON, February 23,18GC. The House, by a arg ' majority, has post poned till the second fuesday in April, tue further consideration of the- constitutional amendment giving Congress power to make all "necessary laws to secure to citizens of thc several States, and to all persons in the sev eral State-:, equal protection in thc right ol' life, liberty and property. The Republicans are disagreed among themselves as to what will be 'tho effjut of . the amendment, and, therefore, have post poned this part of the work'of thc Com*zittee on Reconstruction, with a poor show fjr its ultimate' passage.

From our Charleston exchanges wo learn that tho merchants there have iu store vary heavy stocks of goods, at tho lowest kind of prices, but that business is'. dull-stupidly dull." Too Cou rli-r of a Icte dato says: "It has not long been tho custom for New York morchants to seek Charleston as a inarkot for purchasing dry goods, hardware and groceries. Yet, in the past week, goods of that description havo actually been sold i.i this market to bo shippod to Now i'ork, for the simple and uo other reckon that the j.rices were lower here thtn thcro. Grocery dealers tell us they can go to- hou.ies in this city' tooday and bny certain article at a prico considerably lower than is demanded in N?w York." And the Charleston AW* states that the import trade of that city, for thc dm morah of thc pres ent year, exhibits a'very large increase, compared with the previous LI jnlh, siuce the opening of the port in July, IS05. The total amount of customs for January, 1SG6, is ?73,121,7$, being au increase of over 100 per cent, over thc previous month, and ?makiiig. thc monthly nverage of customs nearly $25,000. The*e importations consist of dry ??Kids, hardware, cutlery, iron, earthenware, salt, tin, ?cgnri, tobacco, sugar, molasses, ale aud por te-, spirits-, wino, bag^iug, rope, t9as, coffee, ma chiner}, etc. With these facts before then;, surely our inor obants will take advanttgo of tho present stag nant and overstocked coudition of Charleston mercantil > house?; and wend their way thi her with the u m s: celerity before a ro action takes place.

THU TRUE Poiicr.-Lot thoiProsidcnl issue his proclamation announcing that tito late revolted States are restored, and demand equal represen tation under the Constitution.

A little Jackson fir tu nen on tho part of the Presi dent will sot all right.

Nowspapers by enhancing the value of property in their neigh hood, and giving thc.localities in which they are published a reputation abroad, benefit nil such, particularly if they are merchants or real est?te owners, thrice the amount yearly for tho meager ?um they pay for their support. Betides, every public spirited citizen hos a laudable pride in having a paper of which bc is not ashamed, ovon though he should pick it up in New York or Washington. A good-looking, thriving sheet helps to sell prop-rty, gives charactor to the looality, and in all respects is ? desirable public convenience. If, from any cause the matter in the local or editorial columns should not be quite up to your standard, do not cast it asido nnd pronounce it of no account until you are satisfied that there has been no more labor bestowed upon it linn is paid for. If you want a good, readable sheet it must be supported. And it must not bc supported in a spirit of charity either, but becnuse you feel a necessity to support it.

IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON.-A Wash ington dispatch, dated February 22, says : General Howard yesterday had au inter view with the. President regarding the Freed men's Bureau. The following account is.de rived from a reliable source, and is believed ,to bo correct : ... General Howard said he construed the President's veto message to mean that the war was ended, aod that he, the President, contemplated an early cessation of tho opera tions of thc Bureau. General Howard farther said that he was desirous of the President's official interpretation of this point. The President, in reply, said in substance, .that he did regard thc war as ended, and would shortly issue a proclamation to that effect ; and that his interpretation of the act of Congress establishing the Bureau would authorize the continuance of the Bureau for one year from the date of such proclamation. In addition-io this, it is currently reported that tho President indicated to Senator Laue, of Kansas, his willingness to approve a Bill extending the operations and powers of the present Bureau for two years. Sepator Lane ha* (riven notice of theiotroduclion of such a BUL THE NEW FREEDMEN'S BUREAU BILL.-The following is tho text of the bill, reported in the Senate fast Friday, to continue in force the bureau for thc relief of freedmen and refugees : u Bc it enacted, d-c, That. the act entitled 'An Tiri, In ..U.ViK.h a Kimonn fnm >U. rnKnfnf freedmen aud refugees,' approved March 3, 1865, shall co-jtinue in force for two years from and after the passage of this act. " SEC. 2. And be il further enacted, That the head of said bureau shall, from time to time, make, and cause to be enforced, such rules and regulations, not inconsistent with the Constitution and laws of the United States, as shall protect refugees, freedmen and persons of color in all States cr parts of States wherein," by the operations of the war to sup press the late rebellion, or by the adoption ol ?my amendment to the Constitution of the United States, any persons heretofore held to slavery or involuntary rervitude shall have een emancipated, in the enjoyment of thc right to make and enforce co?? tracts, to sue, be parties and giv? evidence in all courts and causes, lease, purchase, hold, sell and convey real and personal property, and to have the full and equal benefit'of all laws for the secu rity of person, estate and personal liberty." FASTINC.-Ata time when provisions of all kinds are BO dear, and procurable by many to bnt a very limited extent, it must be very consoling, to learn, on the authority of an eminent English physician and physiologist, that occasi?nul abstinence from food ta likely to be more beneficial than otherwise. Dr. Franklin recommended fasting one day in thc week. A workman would be slow to follow thia advice, unless the day of fast were also one of rest. Dr. Davy, the writer referred to, points out the fact that,although tho Irish people suffer more from the scarcity of pro visions than those.of England, aid have been subject to famines almost unknown to the lat ter, yet the average longevity in Ireland is greater than in England. - This is not borne out Hy record, however, iii tho assertion that persons most remarka ble for their longevity were invariably to bc found among the poorei class of people. Thesa latter furnish, indeed, the large num ber, but not a few from tb: noble and prince ly houses and dignitaries of the Church in different countries of Europe might be named, who reached a very advanced age. It will suffice 'kr our present purpose To mention three, historical cbaractc-r-, rtraong many oth er's, on .the favored list, viz: George thc 'Third, of Eugland, Talleyrand and Palmer ston, who were gathered to their fathers at the ages respectively of eighty-three, eighty four and eighty years. Lord Brougham still lives, and is eighty-seven. Certain.it is that with advancing civiliza tion the mean duration or the- value of life has greatly increased in modern time?, or 'within the last two centuries. In Geneva, Switzerland, the increase, during a little more than this period, has been from twenty-one years and two months to forty years and five months. Tho gain is more noticeable among the wealthier and well to do classes of the population o' a city ; on the other hand, the needy and the destitute furnish more cases of sickness and t higher bill of mortality. TUE NATIONAL DEBT.-^The national debt, in round Dumber?, is three thousand millions, which, divided among thirty millions of peo ple, is about one hundred dollars a head ; the State debt is about fifty-one millions, which, divided amonj; four millions of people, is near ly thirteen dollars per bead ; and our city debt is forty-one millions, or about forty-one dollars per Head. This makes a total of one hundred nh J fifty-four dollars a bead for each man, woman andxmild fd the city of Now York. As not over one person in six is a laborerr-or cr?ator of -wealth, it follows that .each actual producer is saddled with a. debt Dione thousand dollars, upon which he must pay interest for thc rest of his life. The prospect ia not a pleasant one for the laboring classes.-Nev York World. . . HYMENEAL., , MARIUKP, on the 27th Pcb., by .lUv..'^ 0, Connor,-ai Pr. cicely's, in Orangcburg District,.
