Synopsis of 1re_z _Z. J~ nS M:__g~ feeting of Co ess- I ie l'resilent's lecon struction Policy-1)uties of the Sites and the General vvmen fhe riTht of raciise Great Biitaia's Ne utr.ty, etc. The president's Mess:ge was delivered to Con gress to-day. He says, the resistance to the General Government his exha,ted itself. The first question which occoirred w-s whther the territory within the limits of the States which 'ttempted to sec,,de should be held as con quered territory unlcr military a'hriv em anating from the Predeent 1e1constlrefd that Militarv Govermnerts est%bihed for an indefi iite period would have of'ered no Security for the early supprcssfon of discontent, but would fiave divided the people into vanq(uIshed classes andcaused evenomEd hatred rather than restored affeet3r. The true theory is that all pretended acts of secession were, from the beginning null and void. States cannot commit treason nor se eede in their ipdividual citizens who may have eonimitted treason. States attemting to secede, placed themselves in a condition where their functions were suspended, but not destroyed. But if any State neglects or refuses to perform its offices, there is the more need that the Gene fal Government should maintain its anULority, and as soon as practicable resume its o."icial func tions. On this principle he acted. Gradually and equally, by almost imposihble steps, lie sought to restore the rightful energy of the Gen eral Government and of the the States. To that end Provisional'Governors were appointed. All parties in the late terrible conflict must werk to gether in harmony. It is not too mnch to ask of one side that the plan of restoring shall pro eeed in corformity with the willingness to cast The disorders of the past into oblivion, and that on the other side the evidence of sincerity in the future maintenance of the Union shall be put beyond any doubt by the ratification of the proposed anti-slavery amendment to the Consti tution of the United States. This amendment being.adopted, it would remain for the States to riesumeltheir functions, take their place in the two branches of Congress, and theieby complete the work of restoration. The President says he has no authority to nake the freedmen electors. That remains n ith the States. They can decide whether it is to be adopted at once or introduced gradually with a sondition. Good faith, however, requires laws for the security of the freedmen in their liberty, property, right to labor, and to claiu jurisdiction of their labor. It will be his constant aim -o promote peace and unity with all foreign nations, and believes all of them are animated by the same disposition. The accordance of belligerent rights to insurgent States was unjustifiable, but Great Britain was an exception. She built ships, furnished men and material of war to the insurgents. JusLifica t1on for it cannot be sustained before the tribu nal of the world. At the same tine be does not advise any present attempt at redress by acts of legilation,.for the future friendship between the two seuntries must rest on the basis of mutual jus tie We have wisely forborne propagandism of re publicanism,. but if it should be because of some great calamity to ourselves, and in the cause of good government, any foreign power should chal lenge the American people to its defence, against foreign interference, he relies on the wisdom and justice of those powers to respect the system of non-interference which has so long~ been sane tioned by time. Congress. Was organized on the 4th. Senate met at 12, and was called to order by Mr. Porter. A variety of Bills were introduced. The House was organized by the re-election of Hon. Schuyler Colfax. No Southern mem bers were called. Mr. Maynard, of Tennessee, protested, but the Clerk~refused t o listen to him. The Pres ident announces that he is not only ini favor of the admission ot the Tennessee delegates, but of all members elected who can Lake the oath. Strong efforts will be made to make Tennessee an exception, but it will fail. The galleries of the House of Representa tie-are densely crowded, and mnock good humor is prevalent among the members. Onie hun~dred and seventy members answer ed to their names. Mr. Brooks, of New York, made a speech, characterizing the omission of the members from Tennessee from the roll as unpreceden ted. If Mr. Maynard was not a loyal man, from a Union and loyal State, the President himself was not loyal, but an alien and a stranger. He charged that the adoption of the resolution by the Republican eaucus was designated as antagonistic to the President's fortheeminig message. THE SOUTHlERN MEMBERS. As the Clerk was calling the roll of the members from New York, Mr. Maynard of Tennessee, rose to speak, but was prevented ed from proceeding by the Clerk who stated that no remarks at that time were in order. At the conclusion of the call of the roll, Mr. Morrill, of Vermont moved that the House proceed to the e'Nction of Speaker. Mr. Maynard again attempted to be heard, but was silenced by cries of "order." Mr. Br>oks, of New York, protested against the refusa'l to hear Mr. Maynard, elaiming that if Tennessee was not a State of te Union, and if Mr. Maynard was to be re garded as an alien, the President of the Uni ted States-a citizen of Tennessee-was also ar. alien, and a usurper. lHe demanded that thne members from Virginia and Tennessee should be admitted, and denounced the refu sal of the House to admit them as despotism. Mr. Brooks was frequently called to order during his remarks by Mr. Stevens of Penn slvania, and others, and finally asked Mr. Stepbens when he proposed to consider the question. Mr. S. replied that he proposed to consider it at the proper time. The response elicited considerable applause from the mem bem and spectators. The clerk said he could not recognize any .eeasa member whose name was not on the Mr. McPhersen was elected Clerk ; Mr. Ordway, Sergeant-at-Arms ; Mr. Goodenow, Dor-keeper ; and Joseph Grace, Postmaster. - Mr. Stevens offer'ed a bill for the appoint mnent of fifteen members to report whether any el the late Confederate States are entitled to represeintation. The bill was passed by a vote of 123 yeas to 36 nays. Mr. Brooks then moved as an amendment to the motion for an election of Speaker, that Mr. Maynard be allowed to make his state ment. This was loudly objected to. The election of Speaker then took place, with the iesulte already announced. In the House, a select committee was appoint ed on the subject of a urtiform bankrupt law. A resolution was nearly unianimously adopted, declaring that the public debt, with interest, should be promptly paid. A commititee of one from each State was ordered to , prepare resolu tions testifying the respect of Congress for the memory of the late President Lincoln. THE CAsE: VELI STUD--Speaking of the question of the admIission of Southern members in the Congress, the Cincinnati Commerceial (Re publican) remarks: "The House, to be sure, decides upon the quialifimations of its members, but what is the Mouse ? Who compose it ? Is the broad seal of the Governor of Tennessee, on a paper, as good as that of the State of ohio? Is Wiiliamt G. Brownlow the Governor of Tennessee ? Is Ed ward McPherson to decide that question? Has, or has no~t, Iforace Maynard, of Tennessee, as near a right to make a nmotion on the first Mon day of December next in the Hall of Represen ta - iv.s a:wasgton, a Thaddeus Stevens, of Latest Foreign News. The Washington Correspondent of the London Times asserts that Secretary Seward has oilicially taken a strong position in sup port of Monroe doctrine in Mexico. Sir Morton Pet- defends the Baptists of Ja maica against the charges made against them in r)Tnnection with the negro revolt. A wri ter to the London Times controverts some of his statements. It was thought in Paris that Spain would not listen to a proposal of mediation in her ditfliculty with Chili. Chilian blockade run ners were preparing to leave England. The feeling against Spain was very strong in that country. Very disgraceful scenes took place among the pugilists and "roughs" collected at Tom Sayers' funeral. The London press appears to indicate that the respective claims of the Government of the United States and England will be amica bly settled. It was thought that our Govern ment was anxious to ascertain the feeling of England with respect to American finance. France and the United States are advised by parties in England to unite in order to stop the arrogant policy and aggressive action of Spain in South America. Stephens, the Fenian Head Centre in Ire land was under examination before the magis trates. It is said that another Head Centre had been appointed in his stead by an officer delegated for that purpose from New York, who fulfilled his commission and off again to America. The French army is being rapidly reduced to 40,000 men. The Army and Vavy Gazette remarks that "the reduction of the French army are so re markable as to excite surprise and respect." The changes are so large that they may be re garded as a guarantee of change in French policy. The Gazette says the reductions in the French army may induce Mr. Gladstone to call cn the War Department for a reduction of the British army. The American correspondence of the Times, represents the steady decrease of the Federal army and navy as evidence that war with England is not contemplated if she refuses to pay for the Alabama claims. The Times says the meeting at Liverpool was one of the most influential commercial meetings ever held in Liverpool. The Times in a leader declares that the interest of every kingdom in Europe, as well as every republic in America, demands that the complahits Spain had made against Chili' should be au thoritatively rebuked. England, France and the United States cannot suffer that the rights of neutral nations should be tramped on. In face of these dangers it is time to have done with the miserable !selfishness of an abC'ute non-interference. A joint remrnstrance of the Great Powers cannot fail to recall the Spanish Government to the consideration of legal prin ciples, which it seems to have forgotten, to the reparation of wrongs which it has too hastily authorized, FR.NCE. La Prance contains an article directed against the rumors of intended territorial mod ifications attributed to the Emperor. The writer says France does not seek any territo rial aggrandizement ; she has no desire what ever to reconstruct the map of Europe ; but if other great powers wish to overthrow for their own profit the map of Europe, France would be compelled to fortify her defensive positions, to take precautions, and secure her own safety, while re-establishing an equilibrium which would restore to her those guarantees the! changes elsewhere migh t have destroyed. NEW YoRK, Dee. 1.-Rio Janeiro advices state that Col. Wood and party who went to Bra zil 'o negotiate for lands for some six hundred Southe.rn planters, had met with enthusiastic re ception, the Emperor promising all aid in further ance of the project. Mr. McPherson, the clerk of the 'late House, has had his roll of miembers elect printed, with out waiting for any certificates of election. This roll excludes the members who have been elect ed from States not represented in the late Con gress. It is presumed that the Republican can es, to be held Saturday night, will sustain the clerk in his course. A number of Southern members elect will be here and will present their certificates of election. These certificates will be referred, and, meanwhile, a protracted and spirit ed discussion will spring up in regaFd to the whole subject of Southern restoration. By cour tesy and by usage the members elect, th ough not admitted, till their eases be decided upon by the House, will occupy seats and desks in the Hall, and will be furnished with the usual facilities of newspapers, stationary and public documents. The idea that they will stand aloof from Congress, or leave the city in a pet, because of the delay of their recog7nition, is now generally scouted, even if it was ev'er seriously entertained. They can render much aid by their counsel and informa tion~ to those membes who, from the first, will sustain the President's plan. THE ANTICIPATED INsURREcTION IN TEXAS. Late advices from Texas are to the purport that the freedmen have settled down into the belief that they are not to hare the lands distributed among them at Christmas time. All apprehension of difficulties between the white people and the blacks have been allay ed. The military commander of Texas is do ing all in his power to place the State in a prosperous condition.

A cold blooded and diabolical murder was perpetrated on Thursday night last, we learn, near Stoney Battery in this District, the victim n old lady by nanrze of Mrs. White, harmless and inoffensive in disposition. Mrs. White lived entirely alone in a cabin in the woods. She was round the next morning with her head broken in two or three places. The deed was supposed to have been done by a notorious renegade freed man, formerly the slave of Mr. H. Stuckman, and who had just previously broken in to her cabin and stolen some articles. On Sunday morning the body of the murderer and thief was found dead, somewhere in the neighborhood, his head perforated by a pistol ball. A just retribution.

We were gratified yesterday with a vi:Jt from friend Crews, of the I.aurensville Herald. It was his first trip per flack Line. We wish him much success in, 4is worthy uudertaking. Our old friend Nathan Hunter, of Jalapa, will accept the thanks of this offlice for a present of large turnips. The first we have enjoyed this season. Long may he live to enjoy the fruits of the earth ! By the way this turnip present, has turned over a memory of the past. Our o'd friend bears the reputation of never having done a wrong in his life but once and that was when hie sowed his turnips too thicke. OUn PosTNasTrE.-We would very rcspect fully recommend to the honorable town Council of Newberry that they suggest or devise some measure by which relief may be afforded our efficient post master, who has been on duty for the last nine or ten months without pay. There are but few duties so irksome and responsible as those of a postmaster and by the way fewer pub lic servants are less abused than they. Indeed they are perfect pack horses! There are those who expect to find the office open at all times, and look for numerous favors, and while they are ready to abuse are not considerate. "Pair play is a jewel." took OCT FoR TUTN.-On Friday last an indi vidual stopped at the hotel of this place, register. ing to B. A. Arnett, Augusta, Ga., stating that 1 he would start for Abbeville the following morn ing, but being left. by the train he did not go. On Sunday evening it appears that he decamped, taking with him the clothing of a boarder, by breaking open a trunk. As soon as the articles were missed, Mr. Lemon the clerk, started in pur suit, and came upon him the next morning at Helena, where he was about to get on the train. Lemon drew a pistol and called for a surrender, which was unconditionally done, the rogue not having time to draw his weapon. Arnett denied all knowledge of the robbery, but being told that would not do, he started to the spot where he had left his baggage, where the stolan property was all found, which together with the light fin gered gent were safely brought to town by Mr. Lemon. Cotton stealing and burglarious attempts con tinue in this town. Even the dogs are at it. Mr. Martin, late of the hotel, and his clerk, Mr. Lemons, recently arrested a negro woman who had secreted herself in the store. She had made one successful venture and was attempting to get out of the window on her second trip, when caught. Suspended from her crinoline, in her arms and bosom were many fancy articles and dry goods. She plead guilty and was committed to'jail in Columbia. Several nights later hear ing a noise at the dining room windows, from the inside, they c-iutiously approached and dis cerning a dark olject,"running under the table, hailed but no answer, blazed away with a bnn derbuss, when lo ! a big black dog dashed howl ing through the glass. He had been hunting meat, no doubt. Friend Martin is blest with rogues. Gen. Garlington had a handsome saddle stolen. Holman & Co., and Webb & Lovelace also suf. fered petty larceny from dark citizens.. Three bales of cotton were stolen last week from the railroad platform. Mrs. Foot had her money drawer opened by a customer and all her small change extracted therefrom. Messrs. Wiskeman & Rling, have inserted their card in to-day's paper. It will be seen that they have for-med a co-partnership for the purpose of carrying on a wholesale and retail grocery and provision business, in'thie brick store, under the Masonic Hall. Having large and dry rooms,they are prepared to store cotton, etc. They will re ceive and sell on commission produce of all kinds. The Messrs.

What shall we say now of our gentle knight, Or how express the measure of our woe, For him who rode the foremost in the fight, Whose good blade flashed so far amid the foe ? Of all his knightly deeds what need to tell That good blade now lies fast within its sheath ; What can we do but point to where he fell, And like a soldier met a soldier's death. We sorrow not as those who have no hope ; For he was pure in heart as brave in deed God pardon us, if blind we grope, Arnd love be questioned by the hearts that bleed. And vet-oh ! foolish and of little faith ! We cannot choose but weep our useless tears; We loved him so ; we never dreamed that death Would dare to touch him in his brave young years. Ah ! dear, browned face, so fearless and so brightl As kind to friend as thoui wast stern to foe No more we'll see thee radiant in the fight, The eager eyes-the flush on cheek and brow ! No more we'll greet the lithe, familiar form, Amid the surging smoke with deaf'ning cheer ; No more shall soar above the iron storm Thy ringmng voice in accents sweet and clear. Aye ! he has fought the fight and passed away Our grand young leader smitten in the strife ; So swift to seize the chances of the fray, And careless only of his noble life. He is not dead but sleepeth! well we know The form that lies to-day beneath the sod Shall rise that time the golden bugles blow, And pour their music through the courts of God. And there amid our great heroic dead, The war-worn sons of' God whose work is done, his face shalt shine, as they, with stately tread, In grand review sweep past the Jasper throne. Let not our hearts be troubled ! Few and brief I ~T;~ 1-m~-~ were here. vet rich in love and fai.h jIl JICHIOrim.

Santtx KisARD, beloved wife of Middleton T. Kinard, in the :muth year of her age. Tesbect of this notice was a lady of strong. intellectu1l power~s,ancutvedhoe ras and virtues that so hiighiily embellish the female character. She was reared under the fostering hand of piety, and so happy were its effects on her while young, that she obeyed the injunction of the Saviour "seek ye p'rst the kingdom of God," and united herself with the Mlethodist Episcopal Church in her eighth year. Shme devoutly loved the peculiar doctrines of the Church of her choice, and by her consistent life, constrained all who knew her well, to say, behold an Israel ite! She had a benevolent heart and seenied to feel that it was better to give than receive. She knew not how to send the poor away unahinsed. Among the last inquiries made by her, was con cerning a beggar at the gate, whose wants being relieved she~was satisfied. When disease laid its blighting hand upon her, friends and Vhysi cians pressed to her bed-side, to stay rts ravages, "bit could not detain an angel on the earth, a spirit ripe for heaven." During her long and painful illness at times,her mind became de}ious on common subjects, but when the subject of re ligion was presented, reason resumed its throne and she conversed intellectually about its comn forts, God, and heaven. Her dying charge to her devoted husband, Mother and friends will not soon be forgotten. After urging all to meet her in heaven, she committed her two darling little girls to her Miother's care, praying God's blessing upon them, and as she approached the vale of death, she said the disembodied spirits1 of loved ones gone before were in her room. A death loosed the bands of life she faintly whis pered Glory, Glory. Thus did this noble woman pass away. "Let me die the death of the righteousand lei my last end be like hers." J. M1. B.
