WA1HINOTON, December 10.--Th work of reconstruction has been muo advanced since the opening of th session. Virginia comes into be place in the Union at once, throug the deoisive action of the President and the approbation of General But ler, who is the Chairman of the C'on' mittee (n Reconstruction. The hesi tation at the admission of Virgini was caused by the apprehension the she would fullow the precedent c Georgia and Tennessee, and discar negro suffrage and negro legislator. Therefore gurantees against such change was detanded by leadin Radicals. General Butler was sati: find with the written assurance on th subject, which were given yesterda by prominent members of the Vui ginia State Government.

The Charleston Newos of Friday indulges in an editorial fialing fault wIlth the House resolution requeastirg ) the Governor to pay the rew-ird offer. od for Tolbort'a capture to Hollings head. It says that Hollingahead on ly did his duty, for which he is paid by the State. All of which is simply not a). Hollingshead is not, nor has he boon for some time a Deputy Con - stable, and it is on this very grouud that it is proposed to reward him.

TIHE TROUBLE AT EDOEFIELD. Intelligence has been received from Edgefield through an eye witness which flatly contradicts the informa. tion given to the Augusta Chronicle and &ntinel concerning the distur bances there. The facts are thesc : On Wednesday, the 8th inst., Robert son's Cirous was at Edgefield C. U., and gave the first bhow that has been hold there since the war. The village was crowded with people from a circle of forty miles including a number of noted bushlwhackers. A large amount of whiskey was drank, and in thet afternoon the excitement, was very ehigh. About two o'clock a body of these men rode into the public square and amused themselves by firing their pistols into the air and expressing their peculiar opinions. James Rant. ~ sey and a well known desperado, Mer Srill, got into a dispute, which culmi a nated in Merrill's firing two shots at t Ramsey, the second of which took effect under the arm, mortally wounding him. The latter was a son of the Clerk of the Court, who was very unpopular with the "unterrified," because, being a South Carolinian, he e had identified himself with the Re e publican party. Soon after the affray Deuty Cnstable Ihay ward approach. ed Merrill, who asked him what he wanted, he replied, "I want you." Merrill draw his knife from his pocket and s rank toward Hayward, who ? immediatoly presented his revolver at his antagonist's head and told him to e drop his knife and surrender, which e he at one did, and was marched off to joil. Toward evening almost everybody became intoxicated, and rows and fights were so frequent that the show men pulled up their stakes, not dar ing to give any exhibition. Jut about dusk another noted character, Dick Coleman, and a friend. quarrell ed with a colored man, and struck him a a heavy blow. Coleman also threat cited to Shoot the man, whereupon the aulored p eople, becoming inansad, chaed Coleman through town. De puty Constable Kenn., v 'Lrrested C.oleman and lodged him in jai. In th.i meantime it had become dark, a:.d Coleman's friends, having tis cd him, e circulated the report that he had been lynched and hung by the negroes. This is the explanation of the report that the Chronic/e was only too willing to insert. As for the negro militia being out, we have learned from Cap. tain Ballonger that, although they a were all the time under arms, and ready to be called out at an minute, 0they never left their quarters. Ramsey died on Sunday, eSALES OF STATIC LANDS IN IKRSiAW. aNearly four thousand acres of land a purochased for the State by the Land .Commhissioner, in Keorahaw county, have just been surveyed and divided e into fifty-acre farms by Captain Bal e lengor.

There is probably not a man in the Southern Sates better qualified for t< presenting to the reading public what a the South has to show in letters, than a Profes-or James Wood Davidson, of o South Carolina, whose careful and well considered work on living Southern 0 writers has just appeared from the p press of Carleton. Himself the nas. a ter of it pure atyle, with a severe 1% taste, cultivated by liberal study, e and a judgment free from prejudice, jr he was admirably qualified for the a task he assumed, and has discharged C it well. While by the very nature .f the case he was templed to magni- o. fy his subject, he has been betrayed a by no fulsonie praises, and much of p his er iicisu is remarka" fe for its nice discrimination. As an example of is the fairno a which mas ks his volume, u we may cite his treatment of the fr much-vexed question of the author- at ship of the war lyrio of "All Quiet te along the Potomac to-night," which tt no one now can pretend to believe was ' ti written by the Southern soldier who it claimed it as his original production. tc Mr. Davidson has made out a lung d, list of Southern writers-the numLbr or extends to two hundred and forty-one C -some of whom are hardly .r.titled L to literary consideration at all, but it tI sannot be denied that he has done a pe real service to the cot.ntry by his ft pains-taking examination of the whole tc field. Many readers in the North er will be surprised to know how large a S part of the current literature of the so day is the work of Southern men and c women. Perhaps no three writers of C [iotion in the United States have so 0 many readers and adniirers (we say al this as fact, and apart altogether from et their literary neri-s) as Mrs. Town- D send (Marion Harland), Mrs. E. D. E. o N. South worth, and Mrs. Augusta J. Or Wilson, nee Evans, yet it is not gcue- te raly known that all three are South- in am by birth. We note some trival ti arrors in proper names, as of Miss mo Urane now Mrs. Seemuller), author T of "Emily Chc.ter," improperly given m as Crain; and we mark some omisions to as that of Profes~or Subele DeVere, of in the University of Virginia, a prolifio hi *riter and' trarnslator, and that of to John C.

By securing Whipper's election he removes a formidable riv-il from his path, for it is understood that he would run for Congres agaimast IB wen.

VIROiNIA AND GEoRou.-Wash ington, December 8.-The Senate Ju diciary Committee takes up the cases of Virginia and Georgia to-morrow. It is understood that the action by Congress on the case of Georgia will be postponed until after the meeting of the Legislature of that State In January, in order to see what that body will do as to the expulsion of members about which the controversy exists. It is alleged that her State e'arts have decided that the expul. siun if members was illegal, and therefor e it is supposed that the Leg islature will take some action on the subject. General Fremont is expected here to-morrow to push his bill S"r right of-way for the Memphis, El l'aso and Paciflo railroad. A bill has twice passod the House for the purpose by decided majorities ; and it is the gene ral opinion that Congress will pass the measure, because of the fact that no subsidy is asked from the Govern. ment, but merely the right-of-way through public domain is sought. -- There is a lobby league hero, repre senting projects to obtain subsidies in land and money, who are opposed to Fremont's road.

A young man in the upper part of the city was wounded on the inner surface of the upper ip. The wound continued to bleed for 10 days, after which time the patient was sent to the surgical wards of the hospital. Several remedi s were applied, and the arteries supplying the face were tied, but without success in controlling the flow of blood. Recourse was next had to cutting down to the common carotid or great artery of the the neck, and applying a ligature, so as to obstruct entirely din course of the blood. The oozing of the blood still continued, but in lessened quantity. On the 19th of October the patient was in such a state of extreme exhaustion from the long con: nnod hemorrhage sat his death seemed to be imminent, and, as a last resource, the attending surgeon resolved to try th- effect of transfusion. Two medical students bared their arms and gave the blood required for the occasion. Five ounces and a half of their blood was infused into the vein of each arm of the patient, the marked good effects of which were evinced in five mintes by a r.llying of the pulse and otherwise beginning reaction. There was no furt her did. clarge of blood from the original wound, and in 10 days the patient was able to walk in the ward, and rapidly regained strength.
