CONFEDERATE SENATE. Among the many events of per sonal interest that transpired in the South during the lite war, but few are of more draiatic charact-, of aroused - deeper interest among our people, than the unfortunate person al diffieulty which took place in the Confederate States Senato at iticht inond, during its secret session be tween William L. Yancey, of Ala-. bana, and Mr. Benjamin ft. [till of Georgia. Several different and con' flieting versions of this affair have been given through the Southern Press, but none has yet been publish, ed that accords with a statement we recently derived from a gentleman who was at that time a Senator, and an eye-witness to all that transpired on the occasion. The difficulty had its origin in the heated political contests so common ini this country prior to the breaking out of the war. Iti was when Yancy, with his dazzing eloquence was "fir ing the Southern hnart," that a bar bacue, attended by thousands, was! giver in one of the Southern counties of Georgia. It was here that [Hill and Yancey met, the one, the bold and eloquent defender of the Union1 arnd the other, the boasted champion of secession ; and during the debate which ensued, words were uttered that iaused an estrangement tilat was never atterwards r'econciled1 The two had unet again in the Con federate Senate, both doubtlessasmart& ing under the recollectioh of the past conflict and entertaIning no kindly feeling for each othter. It was when the cause of the Stiuth was drooping and every patriot hieart was heavy with despondency antd gltoffitI that .\r. Yancey, rising in his plae .in the Senate, declared that war could no longer be carried on with any hope of success unless- mnatly of the constitutional restraints and em' barrassments were thrown asidd, atud Ioldly advocated a radical ohahgi ith the Governthient to ineet thbe demands 6if the public and the exigenoies ofI the hour. Upon the conoluslon' of Mr. Vnn toy's rematrke, Mrs lill promptly rose to reply. The scene was one of snost intense excitomont. UIs derea Ca ed the opinion advocated .by iele. Yancey, and proceeded with. great severity to review his past political career, running back to the beginning of the times when our sectionAl troubles were first being agitated.

To our questious-why do ayou wish thlis doine 1 of what benefit i1i1 cheap 6)tton machinery he to you or 3our race I-ho replied : s 'Some of us believe that the best ' 'method of elevating our race is by edau6rtiig our females as artisans, withdrawing then from the cotton s field and the menial duties of life. We can furniah iceoper labor than 9 the white labolr of \fassachusettui, and you *'oi-gi'a eopIe have hown us that ianufactusing tottdi pays bet , ter thann nnything else.

Primaily, the elevation of his race will depend upon the cleVation of Iho women.-the mothers of the rae-and th'e fir.st. step is to instruct the rising generation in the nrts. BesidesT6he. instiruction which is daily imparted' by daily occupation in a cotton mill-= with its doeio.ate machinery, and the habits of order and method, quicken.. ing observation and perfecting by practice in steady industry-there will be that culture which comes by inter course and a spirit of enjulation in manners and drens, and in itellectual powers. We tre sure that the reas oning of the Africo-South Carolinan, so far fron being wr ong, is quite as correct, and practically more benevo. lent, than that which led to the es tablishment of the Freed man's Bureau and the Howard School-narm system upon which benevolent schemes, gener. ous, symp;thising, benevolent, Radi. cal Congresses, have spent so many millions of motey that has been ac quired through Northern taxation or Southern plunder.

A Republican, who shares with innuy bf hii pa'rty the inrtification of the President being the roeipient so many gifts, quotes scripture aaist the practice :"T'hou shialt take no gift"; fr et gift blindeth the wise."
