Mr. L-BIpud sato t e bill stru..-k down civ il government iu the Sou*li, ignored State lines, and broke down the Judiciary. Mr. Raymond proposed, in view i f its im partance, to allow spt eches of twenty min u:es, aud i: was finally agreel to bold a night ?session for ita discu.v?iou. J. M. Ashley rose to an explanation re garding the uewspaper correspondence, in which he took occasion to denounce the Pres ident ; but denied his complicity with Gen. Butler io au intention to stab Gen. Grant in tho back. The Retrenchment Committee reported fa vurably as to the ofti-ial coDduct of Mr. Van Dyke, Assistant Treasurer at New York. Stevens and Brandegee made characteris tic speeches in favor tf the bill, in which the latter says that the bill commenced where Grant left oft two years ago. Ile saw a prom ise that thc sword of th?

Rogers spoke ar. hour iu opposition, say ?ag:-"Rather than see military government in this countuy he, for one, would use the jiower tte Almighty had given him in resist lng thc invasion of his liberties." Mr. Thayer interrupted Rogers about ite costing him his neck. Mr. Rogers continued : " If the South bad the blcod of Washington, Jefferson. Madison, the Sages and Heroes of the revolution, thev would protest, as their fathers had protested, by their blood against the despotism of King George*.'' He hoped that the President ol the I'nited States would resist, and would us? all the powers the Constitution gave him, to compel traitors to ol>?y the laws. '. If An drew Johnson,'' added Rogers, would sub * mit to see his country desi iyed, his ?name would go down with ignonvny to posterity as a coward and a traitor.''' Mr. Bingham spoke very briefly, placing himself sqnareiy in op portion to the measure, when the House took a recess till seven o'clock. In the Senate, the clerk read a dispatch fr\im Nashville announcing the adoption ot universal st-fl' sge in Tennessee. The Judiciary Committee reported a b'.il for enrolling and calling cut the tnijiiia, and preventing corporeal punishment. The Appropriation Bill was taken up and discu-sid to the time of recesr. Gen. Dan Sickles' wife is dead. Senator SauNbury, one of the Delaware Senators, authorizes a denial of the state ment of bis ?atended resignation, /?o/ernor Brown, of Georgia, is here. Thc Pennsylvania House parsed the Con stitutional Amendment by a party vote. The President approved thc Bill puuishine tampering with securities and currency, and also punishes the printing thereon of any ad vertisements ; also the habeas corpus Bill, from tho benefits of which persons now held for rebellion are excluded. . WASHINGTON, February 9. SK.HATIC.-Tha memorial of Mary Leloup, ( who33 bu.-band wag killed ia the New Or leans nota, asking relief,) was referred to the (Committee on Pensions. A motion to reconsider the vote against the Bankrupt bill waa carried. The reconsidera tion was postponed. The Senate considered District bills, aud after the Executive session, the death of Hen ry Grider, of Kentucky, was announced. Mr. Davis pronounced a eulogy and the Senate adjourned. Hotrsz.-The consideration of Stevens'bill was resumed. Mr. Banks took the floor. He believed the States lately in rebellion to be ?till States, '/ut that they may bo regarded in a state of siege. He could not object to placing them under martial law, bnt the bill went iurtbjr ; establishing a Government re sponsible neither to Congress nor the people, but to the commauder of the army. Anotber objection: There ii not a letter or line looking lo ths establishment of any other than a Military Gorcrnmeot. Mr. A?hley rose to a question of order, called up the Nebraska veto, and the Senate's action thereon. The message was read, when Mr. Ashley mored the previous question, and the bill was passed, 120 to 44. Messrs. Davis and Raymond voting uay. Stevens' bill was reamed. Mr. Raymond said it is clear there is not nnanimity enough to secure the .fFecUv-ness of ah* meaaur*. None of the proposition*; before the House bad sufficient friends to enforce them, even if passed. The time had arrived for Congress to con coct some measure which would secure c?ec civc unanimity and command the aopport of every department of the Government. He proposed that tho whole matter be referred tt a committee of five or seven, of which j Stevena be Chairman, to report a bill by Wednesday for t?fe protection of life and liberty in tb? ??oatfc, and fer the ?peedy read difsiec of t?o09 Stales.

Raymond waa glad, to bear it \ Mr. Hise announced tho death of lier Grider. Appropriate resolutions were pass and thc House adjourned. Banks, yesterday, io appealing to Steve against pressing a vote, rased the followi language: "I believe that a day or two t voted to the 3ubject of reconstruction of t Government will bring os to a solution which we shali agree, in which the two hou? shall agree, undia which the re?plo of t country will sustain us, and in which t President will give us his support." Tl speech gives rise to various speculations, is understood, however, that Bank* was fi quently in counsel with Southerners recen here, and that he favors their proposed pt cy. Banks intimated that any Congre^ioi po'iey would be futile in operation if opp ed hy the Executive. We must have laws which the Executive will cooperate in OK to make those laws effective. If wo fail secure co operation in laws, it is our duty drop law-making and consider the purpo) and the position of the President himself.

The patrons of the measure have inc outed a solicitude to keep it out of the new papers, and thus prevent, for a while, at lea any public discussion of its merits.

Are ire to Lick the Spittle to'Good Pnrposc--or to no Purpose? A number of promhent Southern politicians I lave ?pent some weeks lately?, in Washington, itriring, with might and main;'to devise anew ! ind acceptable plan of reconstruction. The mea I ii (rho are tons' ambitions to pviform* for the weary j ti South the part of-'Moses to Israel, of Alfred to England, and of Peter the Great to P.usriu, are Gov. Orr of South Carolina, G or: Parsons of Ala bama, Gor. Marvin of Florida, and Sonator Jonea of Arkansas. Many other prominent,Southern men are aaid to have endorsed the new plan; but other names than the above vre Uwe not learned. And wo do not speak lightly of thom, or of their efforts ; for the master builder among lt?? sonr of the South who should reconstruct rh? fabric of her prosperity, would they deserre the na tional fame and gratitude that bless rhe names of Moses, of Alfred, of Peter tho Great. In another column stand the measures of the newly inau gurated plan. g ' There they are ! Tho infamous third* section of the Constitutional Amendment which has already been rrjectod by moat of the Southern Stater, in, in this new plan, totally ignored. And if this new plan succeeds, Southern leaders, both politi cal and military, ean forthwith become candidates for Federal offices and Federal pap.- Ai to the negroes voting, it will bc a long time, with the qualifications annexed, before they cia muster in sufficient force and numbera to drive thc whites from the control of the country. And aa years advance, the danger will bo even less; for where one will acquire two hundred and fifty dollars worth of taxable property or learn to read and write, firo will die and be gathered to thoir fathers. So far so good ; and if the Radicals would ac cept this offer, it would no doubt be bettor for us than the stationary and reactionary policy that ir now depopulating aBd desolating our /country more than thc ravages of pestilence. But tcUl the Radicals accept it ? In tho newly proposed plan nothing is aaid about the Southern States being admitted again to representation. We shall perhaps soon see ; for North Caro lina is shortly to make the .off.'r in from. Judging from the past record of Radicalism, the adoption of these now amendments by Southern Legislatures will avail nothing. Radicalism, we fear, will not stop so short. On the other hand, it is apparently determined to be eternally pro gressive, and forever on the aggressive ; to tear things all to pieces, and defiantly ait on the crum bling ruina to prevent othera from rebuilding. Wc therefore warn our Legislators, before they act in this matter, to make suro that we are not again to lick the spittle for nothing. For whother the new plan be successful or unsuccess ful, it will nevertheless be licking the spittle. The rights of the South, under the Constitution, to representation in Congress, are plain ; and no such conditions as there proposed, can constitu tionally bo made to ber admission.

EDITOR -"Will yon please imert the fbllow tg account of s rencounter in this vicinity, bo reen Dr. M.tr.m Bsttwosn and Mr. 0. 3>. REVTISS, on the 10th inst. These circumstances ave rise to it. Mr. PRENTISS had written an insulting note'l* [rs. MARV CANNON, refused to withdraw it at io demand of her son Dr. W. 8. CANNON, and eclincd tn accept-* challenge from the latter be nito they wero related by marriage. Mrs. CAXXOS'S only remaining son, Mr. R. W. MINNON, wat then absout residing in Edgefield t'utrict. Dr. BKLMXOER bad been for years an imate of Mn. CANNON'S family, and naturally ?ok the view, that, under such circumstances, it r*s necessary for her neat friend to vindicate er. Accordingly, I carried a challenge from im to Mr. PRINTISS, who refused to accept it, eesuse bc Baid, " Dr. B. had, on a former occa ion, required him to cease ail intercourse with ilm." Then, as instructed, I informed bim, that )r. B. said he wonld cow-bide him the fi i time ie caught bim outside of his plantation. Mr. P. eplied that ho would go armed for the occasion. Ie nlso remarked that he intended " to keep an ppointuient he bad," at a neighboring store, "bc weon 0 nod lu A. M. on the ensuing Monday," Oth inst. I wont with Dr. BELLINGER to the store at the i un- mentioned, and a few minutes after, Mr. 'IIKNTISS rode in sight, with a gun, and accom lanicd by several friends. As soon as they came Q fight, his fricad? slackened their pace, ?nd he mme forward about ten paces ia advance. Dr JKLLIKGKU, who was standing in front of the toro, and bad shown no weapon, then took np ns gun and advanced to meet him in tb; road, ?hich was very broad, open and ttrniyht between he parties. Mr. PRENTISS now dismounted, ad rancod down the road for several yards, stepped mt of the road and went behind a tree. Dr. B. ?t once clopped in tb? middle of the road (where ie remained throughout the affair) and called my ittention to the tree business. Mr. PRENTISS ro-appeared in the road in a short time, and both parties fired near the same time. Dr. B. uninjured ; Mr. P. severoly wounded. The prcapons used wore double-barrel guns. This is a plain statement of an affair which necessity compelled Dr. BKLI.INGRR to bring on, whoa denied, on insufficient grounds, the meeting prescribed by custom in such cases. Aa regards what camed tho fight, Mr. P.'s insulting note re ferred to, ?nd my testimony establishes tho fact that 'twas necessary ; as for the rencounter itself, those who witnessed it, even Mr. P.'s friends, can but confirm what is above related. My reason for publishing this i?> because interest ed parties reported it as a dur!, ignoring the cow-hide feature entirely, and forgetting to re member the tree. Respectfully, your ob't. serv'r. F.
