Night overtook them before they got lo Mrs. McLeod's, and meet ing two young men in the road, asked how far the next house was when they answered. " a long way off." With this answer, Mrs Ashmore concluded to camp out. They had got fixed for the night, and Miss Pauline, about twenty years (dd, hud fallen asleep near the fire that had been made ; at this time some negroes came along and asked the negroes what they had to sell, when Mrs. Ashmore said they were travelers. Sa:d one of them, why don't you go to thc next house, Mrs. McLeod lives within a mile and a half. With this they were preparing to leave, when ! the negro man, who was currying the horses, discovered Miss Pauline's dress on fire as she slept. lu attempting to out the tiri?, she awoke and tried to get away.

Congressional. WASHINGTON, January 4. SENATE.-Mr. Edwards presented a peti tion for the increase of the tariff on imported wool ; Referred to t'?e Finance Committee. Mr. Morgan presented similar petitions. Mr. Trumbull called up the bili to repeal ti e President's amnesty power. The pending question was upon Mr. Sauls bill y's amendment to repeal the entire, con fiscation bill instead of the thirteenth section of it. Mr. Johnson being entitled to the floor, addressed the Senate upon the measure. Mr. Johnson proceeded to make a lengthy speech on thc bill before the Senate. He said he had advised the Executive to is>uc a general proclamation of amnesty, and had endeavored, so far as he was able, to bring it about, bul thc Executive had not seen prop er to do so. Some of the first jurists of the country-many of them members of the Re publican party, and some of thc best jurists of England -had expressed tho opinion that the moment belligerent rights were granted, the commission of treason was impossible. If this point were brought before the Supreme Court, what their deci-ion would be he could not .?ny ; but on thc other point, the right of a State to secede, he did not doubt for one instant that it would decide tuat there wes no right. No proclamation of amnesty had been issu ed, and no trials for treason lind taken place. The first was due to the President-the lat ter was not his fault. A man of delicate health is now held im mured in prison, who bad been called to pre side over their destinies b}* six millions of people. If this thing had happened in any other country it would have been described as an act of extreme cruelty. Mr. Howard said the opinion of the law of ficer of Mr. Johnson had prevented thc trial of Mr. Davis from taking place. Mr. Jonhson said he was ready to be deliv ered up to the marshal of the court autboriz cd to try bim. The prisoner had petitioned Lr n trial, but tho court in whoso circuit he wns, refused to receive him, on thc ground that he could not be held in custody, lt had also been said that the Chief Justice could not preside, because Congress had changed thc circuit. Mr. Johnson said no matter whose fault ?twas, it was a blot on American civilization that-thc prisoner was retained; and if, in bis delicate state, he should die, the nation would be responsible for his death. Had Lc (Johnson) been President ho should have paroled him long since. w Mr. Saulsbury spoke in fivor of his amend medt to repeal the entire confiscation bill in stead of the thiitectith section; and upon the vote bein": taken it was disagreed to. The Senate then voted on the bill and passed it by 7 ? to 7. HOUSE.-Mr. Kasson, from the Committee on the Appropriation Bill,\ reported th?Tpost. office appropriation. Tim bill was referred to' the committee ol the whole on thc stale of the Union. Mr. Hubbard.of Connecticut, introduced a preamble and resolution declaring the people ought not for the present to bo further or any longer taxed to raise money for the reduction, of the public debt. Referred lo tho Coin-I mitten of Ways and Means. On motion of Mr. Julian, thc Committee ofl Ways and Means was instructed to inquir? into the expediency of so arranging Hie tar??f on sogar, molasses, coffee n.nd other articles, as to discriminate in favor of free grown aa j against slave grown products. The House went into Committee of ttl Whole, and several members made speeches ! on the state of the Union. Nothing of parti cular interest transpired. WASHINGTON, January 5, HorsE-Although to-day was devoted to i mere speech making, a discussion between J two of Ute ablest and most prominent ?io- j publicans which excited the closest attention. Mr. Spaulding, of Onio, entered into an argument to ohow that the Southern States adopting the Constitutional Amendment could resume their Congressional representation wilhout ?irther action; in other words, restor ation would be complete; Ou a recent visit to Petersburg, Virginia, gentlemen with whom lin conversed, said the adoption of the Amendment by Southerners would be a condemnation of their leaders; but if three-fourths of the Stales should ratify it no opposition would be found in Vir ginia. Mr. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, obtained per mission to state the substance of letters he had received from North and South Carolina, in which the writers expressed views similar to'those referred to in Petersburg. Mr. Spaulding, resuming, warned his po litical friends not to insist on ultra measures suchas the impeachment of the President, while Congress have a two-third power over the action of the Executive. Such measures would re-act on thc Republican party. "If," he added, " wc find by the fortieth Congress that thc Sou'b rio pot ratify the Amendment tben let the gentleman from Pennsylvania call up his b it for tho reconstruction of thc Southern States." Mr. Stevena replied, combating Mr. Spauld ing^ argument that, the ratification of the Amendment was to be the final act. This would leave tho country open lo an influx of reconstructed rebels. The Honse and public ought to know thc gentleman bad uttered the most pernicious doctrine of rebel sympathi sers. To ask rebels to vote on the Amend ment ia to stullify ourselves, for while wc in fact hold the South as conquered provinces wc recognize them as loyal States, but we propose to regulate these States ourselves by law. Mr. Niblaok,of Indiana, asked whether Mr. Stevens and his friends did not admit Ten nessee on the ground that she adopted thc Constitutional Amendment, and whether the Radical majority did not regard that as an evidence of her loyalty. Mr. Stevens replied that thc preamble to the bill admitting Tennessee, recited the good things she had done, but she was not admit ted on that ground alone. Mr. Maynard, of Tennessee, inquired wheth er the gentleman would not vote for the sd mission of other Southern Stales, which would secure freedmen in their civil rights, and exhibit indisputable evidences of loyalty. Mr. Stevens replied he would never vote for the admission of any State which did not confer negro suffrage. Mr. Maynard, said Tennessee bad done as much as Pennsylvania ami other Northern States bad done. That State did not permit negro suffrage. Mr. Stevens replied, the remark was just and right. Pennsylvania, and other States ought to blush for tho infamous exclusion to which the gentleman had referred. He did not doubt Mr. Spalding's Radicalism, but as with shrubs his roots might not go down more than half an inch or six inches. his remark created much laughter, which Spauld ing turned aside by saying, the less they talk ed about thc roots the better. The Republican Congressmen are holding a caucus to-night, to agree on thc future course respecting important public measures. The New York World says the financial forebodings which find utterance in nearly every newspaper that reaches us. show that thc predictions of disaster upon the contrac ?OD of the currency were well grounded, des pite th2 cry at the time nf making them that I hey wore "disloyal.1' Very naturally, the sufferers first appeal to Congress fer a re duction sn the rate of taxation.

WHAT THADEUS STEVEN'S IS DOING.-The Washington correspondent of a rebe] paper ;ays : Mr. Stevens is preparing some important neasures, which will be introduced ?rn med? itely on rho assembling of Congress. They ook to radical changes both in Executive and ludicial quarters. The recent decision (if the Supreme Court in regard to military trials, to Tether with the report of other important de cisions declare several laws now on the statute aook unconstitutional, have produc-d a feeling af alarm. Several able jurists in both Houses ire seriously considering the propriety of Congress taking immediate action to avert serious dangers. The President is said to have conferred with several of the Supreme Court in regard to thc positions assumed by Congress toward the Southern States. When he announced to the commission from South Carolina, Mr. Weatherly, that thc Supreme Court would declare thc amendment uncon Rtitulional, he is thought to have spoken by thc card. "llYMENJEAL.
