Mr, Williams introduced a jjint resolution, propesiog to amend the Costitution by pro posing that Congress shall never have the power to Lppropriato money for payment to any person on account of thu emmcipition of slavery in the United States. Mr. Trumbull introduced a bill to enlarge the powers of the Freedmen's Bureau.

Thc Report of the Secretary ol' the Treasury of the United States. Tho lato Roport of tho Secretary of thc Trons iry of tho United State*, in in the main a very ? hie State paper marked l>y mnch laborious re corch, and showing Mr. McCCLLOCfl to be an iccompliahed financier: though wc shall have oc casion to point but one fatal error, according to >ur opinion, in bis lute Report. The Report discloses some highly interesting ind important -information, which may prove ua'tcr of mnchSfscful reflection to tho Southern jo?]ilc. Tho most discouraging and alarming result attcuding our defeat iu the late war, is not the devastation of our country aud thc almost ittirersal bankruptcy of our people : but the tnor.il effect it bas produced upon the public mind. Men are always disposed to exaggerate evils ; to attribute undue importanca to pushing events; ?nd especially to ?ward to the successful pv.rty in a great strugglo imaginary and undue credit and superiority. This truth is strikingly illustrated in the effect which the result of the late war has produced upon the mind of the Southern people Nothing hus giv en us so much pain and filled us with such serious apprehension as to our future, ns the common tendency, which we everywhere witness, among our people, to regard the result of thc late war aa an ovidcuce of the superior sagacity and common sense of Northern men. mid thu disposition to deprooiate the resources, both physic.il and moral, of the South. lr this feeling ts not arrested it must inevitably end in nur national ruin and degradation. Self respect and self reliance make the basis of all national as well as individual strength and secu-ity. Let tho conviction be ?nee firmly planted in an indi vidual's mind that bis enemy is his superior, and from that moment his enemy really becomes so \ and all hopo of vindicating his rights at once dies in bi. brenst, and he yields to sullen despair or unmanly apathy. Whnt is true in thia respoct i.f an individual, id alike truo of a Nation. The conviction then that the Northern people, because they have boen successful iu tho late war, are our superiors in the qualities essential for conducting a government and carrying on war, will prove utterly fatal to a'l hope of future liber ty ; and will as.-uredly degrade and dobase our untioaul character. There is no duty, therefore, which tho South ern press owes to its country so solemn and para: mount as that of exposing tho fallacy of this pernicious and constantly growing sentiment. Wo owe Sccrotary MCCTLLOCJI many thanks for having placed in our bands the means of striking a beary blow at thjs poslilent and demor alizing uotfun ; wc do not dignify it by calling it an opinion. The main gr und upon which this notion of Northern superiority is based, is the supposed fact that the North excells us greatly in Vculth and material resources. Not that twenty millions of nelpie Lave mono weal.h than five millions, for that would provo nothing; but that ti'.c.-e Northern men understand belter tho man agement of business-hare more business talent -and make n larger per cent on their capital tbun the Southern man,-the Southern mas, who is beginning to look upon himself as a mere fruye? cninmnu-rt ?mri, and is almost persuaded that a Yankee raw from the spinning jenny or the machine shop, is able to teach him the noblo art of agriculture-a pursuit that requires more sound judgment, observation and experience than any other occupation given to man. Thus we bct-r it ?ail) f The Yankee, we admit, boa not personal courage, the dignity or the high tonpd character of tho Southerner; but ho has more energy, more sagacity, more business talent kuows better bow to make monoy; and money constituting ibo slot WI of war, be is the stronger unit." N,><v it is juitt rbi? fatal fallacy that Mr. MCCULLOCH; a Northern or Western man himself, has furnished us tbs means of refuting. Our readers will not bo a little astonished when they aro told, upon the authority of Secretary MCCULLOCH, that " In the year I860 tho real and personal property of the United States was valued (slaves excluded) at fourteen thousand, one hun dred and eighty-three millions of dollars. Of chi? amount the States latoly in insurrection held three thousand four hundred and sixty-seven millions, being an increase upon the like property in 1S50 of 139-7 per cent. The property of the loyal States was "valued at ton thousand seven hundred and sixteen millions, an increase"of 12?-6 per centerer 1850 j togothor averaging a decennial increaso of 120-7 per cent.'', Now if money-making bc thc test of superior "energy, perseverance and common sense," thon hero ore thc facts which will test thc relative merit of the Southern and tho Northern man. With a popu lation of 5,000,000, the South bad in 1SC0, $t, .167,('UO,000 ; and this rxclutire of slaves. Our slaves constituted at toast two-thirds of our prop erty-actually and legally under the Constitution of tho United States. These slaves were bought and pafd for; and thc sagacity and common sense which enabled us to kocp them, to multiply them, to govern thom, to regulate their labor, and make that labor profitable, is certainly a superior sa gacity and common SOUSA to that required for the management of a spinning jenny or tho conduct ing of a michino ?hop. The highest evidence of j talent, sagacity and common sense is undoubtedly the capacity to govern men. And a negro is a man-a machine tufinitely harder to manage than X spinning jenny. Add the value of our slaves, therefore, and the Southern States iu 1S00, owned really properly to the enormous amount of BI.EVE* rn or ?A XII rota HUXDRKO A:O ona MILLIOX8. Whilo the North owned but ton thousand millio-ti. The South with one fuwlh of the population of j the North, posscssod, uot relatively but positively, more property real and personal, than tho North On which side thea of Mason and Dixon'* lino the common' lenee of the country? Tho penp'c A the Confederate Slates were, at the beginning jf tho late war, unquestionably the richest on the sanh-according to Secretary MCCULLOCH. Bot tbis ii not all. Mr. MCCULLOCH gratifies ii in his fair und honest Report with another aost flattering fact, lie telli us in the aboro ex rael that the capital nf " the States lately in n-urrect'on" did increase in the decade from IS5? ti 1860, 139-7 per cent; while Northern tapital for tho tame space inoroajed only 138 6 >or cent. Thus showing thai, wbilo Southern :apital was making 14 pur cent within a small ruction. Northern capital was yielding only IUUUI 124 per coot ! Who, again wo ask, bav* >een the business men of America? On clich dde of tho line lie energy and common eons; ? Tbi? articlo has already run beyond its intended i mi ts ; ?e therefore close with tho single remark hat if the Southern man doubt? ai to the energy ind superiority of his race, he bas cot to look lolely to battle fields-Bull Run and Chicka nauga, and a hundred othtrs-but 'hat his Lodger ind Day Book will als J afford evidence equally latisfactory.

GRANT made a tour through a part of the South. On his roturn to Washington, and at tho command of tho President, ho made a repert on the condition of affairs at the South. This report, as our roader9 will again remember, was short, piain, honest, and in thc main, favorable to the Sjuth. Genl. GRANT'S report was sont into Con gress along with a brief message from President JOHNSON, in which message the President gave hie own opinion on thc condition and disposition of tho Souih. This opinion was also, in the main, favorable to us. And ?along with these two doc uments went likewise tho report of Genl. Cant, SCIIURI, a politician of tho North West, a German who two or three months since, made a very ex tendive tour through the S?rth, and talked and associatod largely with wretched froe negrooB, and still moro wretched wbito men-enemies of their country. President JOHNSON'S moEsnge and Genl. GRANT'S report eommandei tho attention and consideration oren of ibo radical majority, and were telegraphed to every public journal in the country, making a marked impression on the public mind everywhere. While tho tedious, long winded, vonomoos, one-sided report of the Ger man abolitionist, wus voted a bore, and although printed, has never boen read. This did not please that pleasant and estimable gentleman, Mr. CHARLES SUMNHR; and consequently, on tho 30th of Dotember, he made a grand attempt in the Senato to damage Genl. GRANT'S report. He produced a scrap-book full of newspaper extracts and privnto letters tending to provo that the peo ple of the South were disregarding the rights of the froedmon, and wero still lull of the spirit of rcbullion. It took bim nearly two hours to read it, and, after all, it fell with a dead weight on the Senate and Its crowded galleries. Senator COWAN replied, in a half hour's speech, with brilliant ef fect, completely enlisting tho sympathy of the audionoo, ai was attested by their frequent ap plause. Never was Senator more completely van quished than SUMNER; for when Senator COWAR pronounced tho collected batch of extracts, which wore road, as the production of anonymous scrib. biers and disappointed cotton thieves, SVITNKR leldotl np btu scrap-book, and ?tole oiluctly awaj. The New York World, commenting upon'this discomfiture ot Mr. SUMNER, hits tko doughty Senator thus: .

MR. EDITOR: In the last issue of your excel lent paper, you repeat the annnunaemont of th< Secretary of State of the United States, that thi amendment of the Constitution kboliibina- ila very, proposed by the Federal Congress, bas beet ratified by three-fourths of the States, and has therefore, become a part of the fundamental lan of the Union. Now, sir, if South Carolina Georgia, Alabama and the other Southern States which have ratified this amendment, and tnho*t ratification ii regarded by lite F- 'eral authofiliei ai nicttiary to give it vitality, bo nut States ol 'be Union, how can the amendment be incorpo rated into the Constitution and be obligatory upon all the States, both North and South ? Tho abo lition of slavery within their respective limits by the seceded States may be insisted apon ai an indispensable prerequisite to re-admission into the Union. But, if they be not in the Union, their ratification is a nullity, and the amendment is not binding. They have no right to ratify or reject the amendment.
