The eTenta of tho past few day? have been full of political interest. The Civil R -hu Bill ia before the President, and I have Irttle doubt that he will approve it, though may object to its goneral character. The Bill ax it passed the-Senate would have been ve'Oed. But it wa* so modified as to allow an appeal, iu every, case, to the Uuited States SuprerA** Court. Besides it is thought that the law will not be one of much practical importance. Tho cases that might arise under it, will be settled by usage, and a few decisions of the Court would settle the law on the subject. The Joint Resolution offered by Senator Stewart, of Nevada, has attracted some at . tention. Tho Senate will refer it to the Committee on Reconstruction. Mr. Stewart U not in favor of negro suffrage, but he sa) ? that he bas satisfied himself that neither this Congress nor the next will admit repre sentation from those States, without condi tions, wheh Mr. S. proposes introducios*, equalization of the right of suffrage. B> proposes that the Government offer to those States genoral amnesty and exemption from all liabilities on account of the robtdlion, and also tho restoration of the States to their place in the Union with full representation. He suggests that if Congress offer these terms, aud the Southern legislatures accept thom, all those States can be represented be fore tho eud of thia session. By the Fourth of July next the vacant seats would all be filled by any ex-rebeli who may be elected, not excluding Jefferson Davis o: General R. E. Lee. The negro auffrage condition is to be made applicable to all the Statekln the Union, aud it is based on the suggestion made by the President in a telegraphic lotter to Judge Sharkey, of Mississippi. Judge Sharkey is still here, aud cordially approves of M>. Stewart s move ment. No Democratic Senator has yet ac cepted it. But a m?jority of the Senate have expressed to Mr. Stewart a willingness to send the resolution to the Committee oh Re construction for consideration. The Com mittee may report it, omitting those portions which are beneficial to the South, particularly the amnesty clause. The Government Bureaus, including the Freedman's, aro employed as agents of the Republican Committee appointed to manage the political canvass in all the Northern States- The President bas been urged to interfere to prevent this abuso, but declines doing it. The President is not strong enough in his position even to dismiss those members of th? Cabinet who are operating against bia. He cannot even venture to dismiss the re fractory Comptroller of the Currency, who, with the National Banks at bis back, and tho support of all the shoddy and stock jobbing and speculating interests of the country, has undertaken to control the power in opposition to tho policy of the ?dminiotiation. Mr. Clarke has converts1! Congres? to his aide in the controversy, and though the House on the 7th December passed with ac clamation a resolution endorsing the recom mendations of Secretary McCullough for a ?ontraction of the currency, and au early i&samption of specie payment*, ou Friday tho Treasury Finance Bill was rejected by the House. The vote was reconsidered to day, and the bill remitted. Wall-street ex pected its passage, for gold opened this mor ning at 25 and a fraction. The bill is dead, und gold will rise. The HouBe has passed a resolution for ter minating the Session on the last Wednesday iu May. No one believed that they will then itdjoura. LEO. Deeline of th? Gold Premium. From the Washington National Inielligen <w, of the 9th instant, we copy the following In reference to the decline in the gold market und its effects upon trade : "The gold premium bas declined to about thirty-three per cent., and is likely to fall, at it did last spring, to thirty or lower. Th? Secretary of the Treasury is reported to have laid that he could easily cause a further do cline ; but the fall, during the last week, wat ?without any exercise of his power over th? market. No gold has been sold .by thc Treasury for a week past, though, durinj* thc jireviou* week, ihe sum of twelve millions was put into the market. The Treasury still commands a large amount of gold. ?j Mouey is so abundant in the cummercia oectrea that speculation flourishes though regular business is at a stand. Speculator. in the city of New York has for a week paai been directed strongly to real estate at ad vancing prices, the auction sales amounting to a quarter of a million of dollars a day Ibis shows not only the abundance of monev but the want of employment for it in an") regular business. '.Many persons marvel at the fact that th? prices of living are still maintained at th< ?me rate which prevailed when gold vrv. 200. An actual scarcity of commodit? caused diminishing production and sudden!] increasing consumption, has beon and still ii among the canses of high prices, aa well ai the redundancy of paper currency. Bu prices tend downwards, and must decline ver sensibly, even without any reference to th< success of any schomo of contraction. Hun drcds ef thousands of mea, lately in arms and large consumers, must uow become pro ducer?, aud besides thc?o the vast current o immigration bringa daiiy acce-sioqs to on means of production. *' Dry gaods. both foreign and domesti?? havo fallen heavily-wholesale prices hariss-j declined 20 per cent, during the past week The Southern demand for goods, which wai ao brisk during a few month- following tb? close of the war, has subsided, and tbs sup ply baa rxceeded the moans of payment. Th? South has nearly exhausted the resources which remained to it, attcr the war in cotton tobacco, naval stores, etc., and the prospect of produJtioD for lhht-7 is far from b*inc good. u Some businessmen anticipate a genora deeline of price, and at a-cons?quence of it a contraction of bank -loans which will fall V'db seventy upon bank debtors. Hanks are generally increasing instead of diminishing their loans. The ban line of tho New York eity banks before the war was a hundred and forty millions, though legitimate busiaet-s is falling off. When the banks shall, from IITU dential reasons, contract thoir loaojine, eviry - thing apon which theso loans are based trill suffer a great deeline in price." Cojr??DBitAT2 Dean AT tfeTTTsnuieOv-.We? have read an extract from a letter ?Titter by " a Southern lady, dated at 'Gettysburg, Penn sylvania, JiSijasrj : 9th,. liibO, in which she -, says tho headboard at the head of Cot Car ter? grive is decaying and w?l'soon totLer. . ihe> II any-of tbo> headboards, placed by the comrades-of tho dead-lo' raark their resting place, have decayed: arr?Hk?len" array-- ?Uto - ieJd in;wHch;n)aoy..oj' WrWum?pv?an&v ire beriet -a to ho used this year ar?eatt?>pu tw;w& scoa til inp? of their f&m t^J 1 bo obliterated. A Mr. Hiram Wairen, fleing at Gettysburg, bas a list of the -i?me?, and can identify the places of af! those who had head boards placed at their grove?. He is said to be perfectly reliable. A spot has been set aside in the "National Cemetery" at Gettysburg, for the burial of the Confederate dead, and they can be removed to it at small expense by addressing Mr. Warren, who w.U also give any information to the fi ?ends of the Confederates buried there; This letter also ?tate* that the bones ot the Confederaf? dead are turned up by the same plow that turned up the soil. And we know that this sta'.e ment is true, for the lady witnessed it herself. Let the fiends who cry out against the Con federates, for ill-treatment cf their prisoners and dead, think of this when they charged os v? ttb cruelty and fiendishness. The bones of tte dead plowed up-their only office to manure the soil.-Jackson, Miss., Clarion. -? ? ?--- . Tnt CASK or G. B. LAMAR.-A powerful influence is being brought to bear upon the Executive for a remission of the sentence lecently pronouaced against G. B. Lamar, of Georgia, formerly President of the Bank of the Republic New York, for certain alleged Attempts t J defraud the Government. The conviction, it will be remembered, waa bt fore a military court, and the friends of Lamar eOntcnd tha't it wa* not a proper e nc to adju dicate his case, he being a private citizen and ntuenab'e only to the civil courts. The Su preme Court h?* thin very question before it uow, and the President may await its e'ecis ion as applicable to that of Lamar. Mu. DAVIS BKSIECKD BY VISITORS.-The following a-.n tonier t, attributed by a Mississip pi paper to Burton N. Harrison, Esq., rather surprises us. We doubt its truth : 41 He gives favi.rubla cccoo'nts of the pres ent and growiuir sympathy of tho Northern peoplo for Mr. Davis. At times, he says Mr. Dav.?' quarters are thronged with visitors. So great is the crowd that they stand for ho. rs about the doors, and when they can't get in themselves, send in their compliments and assurances of regard and sympathy. This is especially the case with the officars of the army." HON. C C. CLAT.-We are pleased to see that two Republican papers arc demandin* that Mr. Clay sh;.l'( be immediately released or put upon his trial. These papers are the Tribune and tbe Commercial Adtertiser, both of New York city. They both declare that, f by the Constitution, by the laws, by public opinion, by safe precedent, by the claims of justice, he'is entitled to a speedy trial or to an immediate release. A great wrong, aud one that ought to be remedied, is done." JEALOUSY BETWEEN THE WEST AND EAST. -The Commet ciaVs Washington special says: The debate in thc House yesterday on the Reciprocity Treaty, strengthens the growing jealousy between Wettern H nd New England men on the subject of protection. . The Western members are in favor of lib era! tra.'.c arrangements with Canada, and complain that national interests are KU bord:- j aated to the views of Eastern manufacturer?. Attempts are being made to so combine the fishing, lumber, coal, and wool interest? as to change the continental tariff bill, now undor consideration, from revenue to protec tive, by largely increasing -the duties. TEXAS.-ADOPTION OK AKTI-SKCESSION OR DINANCE.-GALVESTON, March 13.-The Tex as State Convention has adopted the substi tute f. r the majority report declaring the Secession Ordinance null ai d void, ackuowl edg:nt; the supremacy of the Constitution ol the United States, aud renouncing the right again to secede, by a vote of 43 to 37. The Committee on thc Condition of the State re ported an Ordinance permitting the Legis lature to pass a slay law on all judgments for debts for four years, on condition that the iu crest on a quarter of the principal of such debts arc paid each year. The Judiciary Committee reported an Ordinance protecting Confederate ch il and military officers from criminal and civil process for impressment or iujury of personal property. - DISMANTLING DY POUTS.-The dismantling of Forts Carrol!, Stanton, Baker, Mahoa Lin coln, Totten, Slocum, Stevens, Reno and Sumner, North of the Potomac, reduces the defences of Washington to a peace footing, and leaves of them only the powerful water battery on the Maryland shore, above Fort Foote, which is armed with the heaviest and most approved artillery, and commands the Potomac River for miles below aud above. The formidable.battery on the Virginia shore near Alexandria3 known as Battery Rodgers, which is mounted with heavy guns of long range, is also e6-?ential to guard the river ap proach to thc metropolis ; ard Fort Whipple, ia Virginia, about midway between Alexan dria and Washington, used as a military pris on, to which the Old Capitol prisoners were removed. QUAKEUS LEAVING NORTH CAROLINA.-An Inspector of the Bureau of Refugees, Freed men, ?c., reports that the boat from Aquia Creek, Virginia, brought to the city this morning seventy-five persons of the Society of Friends, from Randolph County, North Carolina, who are on their way to settle in the State of Indiana. The cause of their emigration, they state, to be the persistent persecution of them by tho people of North Carolina. The Quakers also state that one hundred and fifty more will leave in a few days.-Washington Star. PLANTING BY THE MOON.-Aa exchange say?: "There are a great many who ridi-ulc tire idea of planting by the moon ; but cxpe Hence is wiser than science, and many of the most successful gardeners observe rigidly the rule of planting aceor ing to the. changes of the moon. An old friend in whose judgment we have faith, assures us that all vegetables of the vine kind, as beana, peas, potatoes, etc., bear moro luxuriantly if planted in the first three or four days after full moon : and that corn planted on the decline of the moon will make heavier years than if planted ut any other time. Let our gatdenere and plan ters renumber this, and make thc experiment FATAL ACCIDENT.-James Conlon, one of the watchmen it St. Michael's steeple, while going en duty about eight o'clock last night fell through the trapdoor from the third story to the stone pavement of the vestibule of St. Michael's Church, a distance of be l tween forty and fifty feet, striking on his bead, fracturing his skull, and killing him in stantly. It appears the workmen engaged ia erecting a now bell in St. Michael's left the trap door open, and neglected to notify the guard or the watchman who are in the habit of passing immediately {brough, the opening of the trap doors being a very unusual oc currence. The olficer of the guard not hear* ing the usual cry of tho hour, sont a police man to ascertain tho cause. Fortunately, his weakness of eye sight induced him to tike a lantern, and led to the di*covery of the lerii ble accident. The deceased was a worthy man, about forty-firo years old, and had a large family. The Coroner will bold an in quest upon the body this morning.- Charles ton Courier. RETICENT AND SENSIBLE-CO!. A. M.

In the Philadelphia Inquirir of the 16th wo find the following exaggerated statements rolativo to affair? in this District: Tho Freedmen's Bureau have reports from South Carolina which ihow that tbore are two organised bands of.outlaws, ono consisting of eight und the .thor of thirteen men, led by an ex-Confcdcrato Major, named Coleman, at present raiding in the vieinity of Edgefiold District, and committing, with impunity, the most fiendish outrages on l.'uion men and negroes. Thus far, says the roport, thoy have murdered a numbor of negroes atid one white man, without provocation, and robbed and driven from their houses several North:rn men who have property there. Colcairn, the loader, is a desperate eUar ?ctor. Ho bas exhibited to several persons eight cars cat from the heads of colored men. Ho car ried them in an envelope and prides himself on exhibit:ng them as tropkios. This desparado is a native of Edgeficld, but the rest of the bandit band is composed of Tex ans and othors, from different localities. Tho re port states that Gener.:l King was dismounted and1 robbed by them within one milo of tho city of Augusta. Ooo of tho soldiers on duty near Edgefiold Courr, Honso was driven in on tho 2f>th of Fobraary. Colemtn's men entered H.nuburg, and robbed tho hotel keeper in brood duy-light. Tho freedmen arc generally at work under rea sonably fair contracts, and are giving satisfaction to thoir employers, And are oontoo tod. Many persons aro working for their former masters, and do not dosiro to bo removed. Mujor-Goooral Sicklos has issued stringent orders for better pro tection against outrages on tho Union men and thu froedmen of the Department of South Caro lina and for thc extermination of tho bands of outlaws now infesting certain portions of tho Stato. One of thc grandest fairs that has ever taken place in this country is vory soon to como jfT in Baltimore, for Ibo purpose of raising fonds to relievo the distresses of t^o S luihcrn people, ft is exj-oe'ed that one hundred thourand dollars will bo realise.', as profit for thin tplcndid cork of benevolence.

The Steamer. Qenerai Hooker, Captain Davida/pn, left this port foi Georgetown, ',. C., about eight o'clock or yesterday .forenoon, and about 9 A. M., of Beach Inlet, she Was discQveicd'"to bc on fin in and ne.ir tbe coal-bunkers. The donkey pump was got to work anc used for some tiingjhut it was soon apparent that the lire had gfifc loo much headway.; Tin boats were lowered undine steamer head ct for the beach, but the sea was so sharp tba the formenwere managed with the greatest difficulty, and the till? " ropes becoming burn' from the rapid progress of the flames th< steamer became unmanageable. The excite ment among the passengers- was great, am they rushed into thc boat?) which in conse quence ol the sharp sea, soon filled with wa ter or turned over. One of tho bunts whic! capsized contained two ladies who were no seen again. Some ofrsbe passengers wen clinging to the rudder anti other paris of tb? steamer, a?.d as the sea would strike her the1 were washed off and would disappear. li this terrible condition ol affairs, tho stearne Pilot Boy, from this port for Georgetown, S C., being nenr two miles off, made out tin condition ol' the Hooker, and returned to be immediately. Captain Payee, of the P,to Hoy, and Captain Juc. Ferguson, who waso: board, immediaiely brought their steamer ver' near the sccue ol the disaster, got out th< life boat, and by their efforts and those o Captain Davidson, of tho Hooker, who wash one o: his boats, partly sunk,*they succecdec in getting about tweuty of the- passenger and crew ou board the Pilot livy, whicl steamer returned with them here about ll A M. and brought the news of the disaster The following ladies were drowned^ Mrs. Rhodes, cf Georgetown, S.

Mi:s Bush, daughter ol the Mayor of George town, an interesting young lady who wa just .returning to her father from school. Ee body was kept afloat by her clothing, am when picked up life was extinct. Tho number of colored persons on boan is uncertain, but thought to be about ten, c which one Laif arc no doubt lost. Capt. Jobi Fergusou nod Capt. Payne both deserve mite! praise for their coolness and good manage mont under the trying emergency. Mr. A F.

THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OP MAXI MILIAN-The particulars concerning the lat attempt to assassinate Maximilian are fui nisbed in a correspondence from Mexico t the New York Herald as follows : " The day during Maximilian's last sojour at Cuercavaca, while walking about, followe at a short distar.es by one of his staff officer, thc attention of the latter was excited by th suspicious move of a man who appeared t be dogging tho Emperor, stopping when h stopped, and gradually approaching close md closer to him. Finally, when the ind vidual bad got close to His Majesty, tho sta officer rushed forward and seized him. Upo searching him a loaded revolver was founi concealed under his coat. He was of cours arrested ; but it is reported that he was shori ly afterwards released by order of the ?mpi ror, who, as rumor has it, said to the Minist? of Justice, ' I do not think that my life is i danger ; the people of Mexico love me tc well !' What a strange hallucination !" -* -?-; A RICH TRIAL.-A queer case came up b fore the military court iu thia city, on Tue: day. It seems that a Mr. Brinson and freedman of Burke county had a fight i Millen, one day last week, and the frcedma .' reported" Mr. B. to the Federal authority here. They sent two soldiers-one of thei a Sergeant-to Burke county after the offene ing Brinson. . On arriving at Millen tl Sergeant became intoxicated, fell from b horse, and lay some time asleep. While i that oblivious state, thc prosecuting Darke stolo his pistol, and iu attempting to mal his way oil' waa detected by the other soldii who was not so drunk, aud the pistol r covered. All thc parties were brought before tl military tribunal here, as stated. Upon e: animation, Mr. Brinson was honourably di charged; the Sergeant was sent up" f< getting drunk ; and the American citizen African 'scent was held in durance vile fi stealing the pistol. It is but fair to add, th; fhn plea of thc sable delinquent was th: i(Mass Yank was too drunk to take keer i b'sself," aud he thought he would " tal keer" of his weapon for him.-Augusi Transcript.

Obituary ot Mrs. L. B. Cox, Wife < lion. George S. Cox. In skotching a brief tributo to tho memory this most cstiainble lady, it is difficult to sing out and give prominence to any given trait excellence. So exquisitely beautiful, so symme neal and so gentle in all the frami-work of hi moral and social being, she seemed almost U pure and good fur tbi* .-in-afflicted world: ot a times a light,, a comfort and a joy, truly was ?I a ministering angel to all around her. Mrs. Cox was tho daughter of MK; or 15. A BLOCICKR, of EJgefiuM District, South Carolin She was married in January, 1854, and spent bi married life in Haynoville, Alabama.

Long will her genii manner nnd gentle hospitality be remembered b those who knew her in tho home elrele; but li? greatest earthly oaro and devotion were bestowe on her own bouso-hold. A loving and. stricke husband, and three charming and boautifull trained daughters, too young to appreciate full their great les*, are left to mourn that_ void i their family circle which nothing that is bf cart can over fill. But they sorrow not as thoso with out hope: she had been long a'eomuiunicantc the Episcopal Church, und, in life, adorned th doctrino she professed. Approaching tho dar Valley, with her faculties undimmod, she clung t her loved ones, and would gladly have staid t finish tho work she had begun so well ; but sh had no foar nf tho grim monster. She died Janu ary Ulh, 1S66, in linn, unshakon faith in Hit who cama into thc world to sava tinnors.
