WASHINGTON, December 13.-In tho Senate, Mr. Davis offered a resolution, de? claring that, whereas there is no longer any existing rebellion, tho writ of habeas corpus is restored in every State. The resolution was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. Tho Senate also amended and passed tho Houso resolution, providing for tho ap? pointment of a joint committee to inquire Into the condition of thc States of the late so-called Confederacy, and report whether any aro entitled to representation in Con? gress. In tho House, Mr. Raymond presented tho credentials of the members elect from Tennessee. Mr. Stevens objected, saying Tennessee was not known to tho House. The objec? tion was overruled. , Several gentlemen advocated tho admis? sion of tho Tennessee members. Their credentials vero referred to tho joint committee to inquire in the condition of tho late Confederacy. WASHVSOTON, December 14.-In tho United States Senate, Mr. Guthrie pre? sented a remonstrance of certain citizens of Louisiana against tho reception of Messrs. Hahn and Cutter as Senators from that State. Mr. Weldon called up a bill to repeal all laws in the late insurrectionary States barring distinction of raco or color; pend? ing the discussion of which, tho Senate adjourned. lu the House of Representatives, Farns? worth moved to refer Ids resolutions claim? ing that colored soldiers are entitled to all tho rights and privileges of American citizens to the Senate Committee of fifteen. Charles, of New York, objected, denying that tho negro can be tho equal of tho white man. The House concurred in the Senate's amendment to the joint resolu? tion for the appointment of a select com mitice of fifteen to consider tho condition of the Into Confederacy. Both Houses passed a bill prohibiting the importation of cattle, to prevent the spread of tho cattle disease. THE CONDITION O: ALABAMA.-In a speech recently made in New York to a meeting called for the purpose of considering the granting of aid to the Southern States, Gov. Parsons said that Alabama, having a lighting population of 1)0,000, furnished 122, 000 soldiers to the Confederates ; 35,000 died iu battle or from wounds and diseases, and a large proportion of those who returned, come back broken or disabled by wounds which renders them unlit for active service. The while population of that State was 52?,000, according to the census of 1SI?0, and at! the same time Gen. Wilson invaded it, the State was feed? ing 138,012 women, children and others. Of the black force were 440,000 who were supplied with food and everything necessary for sub? sistence physically. The State had appropriated seven millions of dollars for the purpose of procuring relief for the whites. The wealthiest had but little meat. For want of atten? tion, and from drought and tho idle? ness of negroes, the State is now left with one-fifth of a eorn and small grain crops. Unless relief was fur? nished there would be heavy suf? fering. J. P. BENJAMIN.-The following singular statement is made by the London correspondent of the New York N~ctrs : "Mr. Benjamin claims to be a na? turalized citizen < f England, on the ground that his grand-father was a British subject, and that according to tito law of England the revolt and treason of thc father does not affect his descendants. I ain inclined to think that this is bad law, and that Mr. Benjamin will have to reside in England for tho usual time before he eau obtain letters of naturalization. Meanwhile it is said that he will commence to keep his terms for the purpose of being called to the bar." In Marietta, the oldest settlement in Ohio, the bell in use on the court house is the ono presented by that unfortunate Queen, Marie Antoinette of Franco, after whom the town was named. The . bell is held in g?-eat esteem by tho citizens. General Beauregard. A Paris journal, tho Avenir Na? tional, has lately been endeavoring to make people believe that General G. T. Beauregard was to succeed tho late celebrated General Latuoriciere in the service of the Pope. Thc ex? cellent weekly, the Renaissance Louisianise, has gallantly taken up the cudgels against its Parisian eo tcrnporary, whom it accuses of select ing Beast Butler for a military beau ideal ; and declares that Beauregard is not a whit lowered in the esteem of honest meu for seconding a cause which, though beaten, was the cause of his country and his State. A New York paper, the Echo d'Italia, has also come to the rescue, and mercilessly assails the French slanderer of Beauregard. The Echo says : "The Paris National inculcates the belief that thc victor of Bull Bun and the defender of Charleston fought only to perpetuate negro slavery, as Lamoriciere fought for the slavery of white men. But Beauregard, from his own declaration made iu 1861, j drew his sword in a cause he considcr I ed just, and for the independence of I States which thought they had a right ? to be free. In that cause ho mieriticed ! everything except his honor as a I soldier and his dignity as a man ; and as such he is honored and respected by; all, even by his adversaries, in? cluding tho. President himself." Thc defence of thc Echo was un? solicited, and the writer a stranger to Gen. Beauregard. The General deem? ed it incumbent on him to acknow? ledge such disinterested kindness, and addressed a letter iu French to the editor of the Echo, which we translate as we find it in the columns of tho Renaissance: NEW ORLEANS, NOV. 18, 18G5. MY DEAR SIR : I bog leave to thank you for your article of the 27th Oct., in reply to an ungenerous attack upon me by the Paris Avenir National, a paper which ought to be satisfied that I am not a soldier of fortune. When my native State, Louisiana, required my services, I drew my sword without hesitation, as a son rushes to rescue his mother from the torrent, without thought of his own safety. At ono time, in order to escape tho hatred of Northern fanatics, I thought of seeking a refuge in Brazil, but the generous sentiments expressed by President Johnson toward the South? ern States have persuaded me, to? gether with a great many other Con? federate officers and soldiers, to re? main in Louisiana. I prefer to live hers, poor and forgotten, than to be endowed with honor and riches in a foreign country. With sincere re? spect, your obedient servant, G. T. BEAUREGARD.
