PONDEWT.] Columbia, Nov. 13.?The last day of the session of every deliberative body is ordinarily the ono on which tho newspaper correspondent can Ond least to Interest his reidora. Tho mania for gntting home secros orili . narily to bo Uno pervading disease through tho entire bod}-. The reading clerk performs his duties in the proa_lc? of tho presiding officer, the clork, the measen giT, and a number of empty chairs. Members who aro attentive through all other part*, of tho session, absent thmuKulvcs under the belief thnl the real business is over, Lou?| talilug takes the place of oobot silence. Iimttcntion seizes even those' wlib may be present; and any member **ho may have raoro of skill than of prin ciple eeizea the opportunity' to bavo a pet measure jrtisued which, at any other time, would have met the disapproval of the body. Thi*. however, was not the caso to-day. For some roaaon, a great part of tho mem ber- Ml present, and during portion! of tho day busl net? was attended to with, groat earnestness. Each of those present seemed to f?*el that tho State demanded bis best cnorgies. Message No. (5, of tho Provisional Governor, was re ceived, (jiving to tho House and .Senate iiif.irui.itlou with regard to professed ollieiul information of the Constitu tional Auienilment conveyed to tho Governor of South, Carolina by the Secretary of State of tho United States. Tho communication was by telegraph, and tho not??ca tion was dated February 2, 1H6S. Mr. Mullius called up the resolutions which he had offered ou Saturday, to accept tho Constitutional Amcud iiK-t. These resolutions having boon taken up. Mr. Mollina moved to amend them by substituting auother set of resolutions. Mr. Eeltt then moved to amend the amendment, by substituting a third set, accompanied by a preamble, setting forth the interpretation given to the nee*?id elauae of the anicudinc-nt to tho Coutititution by the Execulivo Department. At this stage of the proceeding?, Mr. Campbell asked lor information with regard to the otheinl notification. The Speaker of the House read the Message of ?. ; Pro visional Governor. Mi*. Campbell then said that tho telegraphic notice c_nnot bo olllcial, as, from the date, It takes for grouted that he is our Governor who is now In Fort Puluskt, while we of the United State? are acting on the tsupposi ti??n that the act? ot the last four years were acts of usur pation. Ho gave uoti*? of Intention to offer aeries of resolutions In case the resolutions and amendments were laid on tho table, to tho effect that, when the State f'.uill be restore- t?> her place In the Union, she pledges herself to accept the constitutional amendment. Sir. DawkltiH said that wo had notice of the amend ment iu the. printed Acts of Congress. He hail voted? pr-ctkally voted?for the nwendnient when lu? accepte?! the Constitution, and hfl would vote for it now. Mr. Campbell said tha?, while ho would vote _>r the amend??ant when necessary, he wishes, whim it is done, iba*., .t shall be done without stultification. Mr. Trcscot gavo notico thut he would offer a resolu tion at tho proper time to refer the matter to the ap propriate committee to report at the regular _n. In Vha most eloquent speech that 1 bavo over heard from his lips, an . in on_ o? the most eloquent that I have ever heir?! from any man, hi* asked the Legislature to act not in hot haste, but with becoming dignity, in the mobt important matter upon Which they probably have over been colled to decide. Ho beeo'?;?nt them so to act that, ii their children 8honld look back with sorrow on what the Sluto hau autlered, they would not be obliged to look back with shame. ?lhnr speakers followed?some desiring the immcdl-. ato -ilepUon of the resolutions, and others desiring do ' lay, for tho purposo of accepting tho amendment ill pro par form?nil agreeing that tho amendment should be accepted. After some debate, tho amendment of Mr. Keilt was laid on the table, and the resolutions of Mr. Mullii'.s taken up. On a call of tbo yens and nays, tho resolutions retire carried?yeas 74, noya 28. Whih'T? ese procoedlngs wore going on lu tbo lioure, similar proceedings were taking placo In tho Senate; and when the rosolaitionB of the Houso wore being vent to tbo 8enato, tho Senate r?solutions wore being sent to the House. Thoce adopted by the Senate had attached lo them a third resolution, making declarations some what similar to thoso which the Honse had, earlier tii tho day, refused to oonsidor, on the ground that, If tho act must be done, it should be dona simply. The hour of adjournment was at band. It was too late for a Com mittee of Cnnforen?, and it was necessary to accept one set of resolutions or pass both over to the regular so'i sioii. Under these circumstances, the Senate laid the resolutions of tho House on tho table, and the Houso concurred in thote of the Senate, which are as follows ; Whereas, the Congress of the United Stetes, by joint resolution, approved on the first day of February, A. D. J865, proposed on amendment to the Constitution of tho United States for the ratification of the Legislator?? _1 the several States, which amendment la m the follow ing words, to wit : "Article 13?Section 1. Neithor slavery nor Involunta ry servitude, except as ? punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist with? tho United States, or any place subject to their jurisdietloa. "Scction a. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. Approved February 2, 18-." -. Resolved, therefore, by tho Senate and House of Rep resentatives of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, In General Assembly met, and by tho authority of tho name, That the ?for*?aid proposed Amendment of the Constitution of the United States be and the same is heroby accoptod, adopted and ratt?ed by this State, Resolved, That a certified copy of the foregoing pre amble and resolutions bo forwarded by bis Excellency the Provisional Governor, to the President of the United States, and also to the Secretary of State of the United SUtco. . . . - . , Resolved. That any attempt by OO-greas towards legis lating upon the pol?ticaI status of former slaves, or their civ il relations, would be contrary lo tho Constitution of the United States, as it now is, or as it would bo, alterad by the proposed amendment, In conflict with, tho policy of Ine President declared in bis amnesty proclamation, and with the restoration of that harmony upon which de pends the vital Interests of the American Union. Nothing else of any importance was douo by cither ili/nse until tho hour of adjournment, at which hour the desks of the cashiers were crowded by tho mcmbors, for tho purpose of getting their pay billa. The money, ho wovor, which was expected, did not arrive in time, and many who wcro not a'.lo to get them cashed, were obliged to go homo with tha promlao instead of the ** _,_^_ . . , A History by. fien. It. I?. T.ee. [From the Richmond Whig, November i.\ Tbo Kew York correspondent of a Northern news paper status that General Robert E. Loe. of the lab Confederacy, has arranged with 0. B. Blobt?daon, o this city, fur the publication of bis "History of the Be bcllion." The book ia now in process of preparation and It will probably be complete- in the course of ?eve ral months. The articles of agreement between tbi parties aro said to contain a stipulation to the effect tha no alteration shall bo made by the publisher after tin manuscript gets bato his hands?but that It Is to be pub Usliod as written. It is also needless to say that such i work by Bitch an author would bo nought after witl avidity by all American as well aa European readers. Wo are inclined to think, however, that the writer li not strictly accurate In his statement. Wo were inform ed some months ago. by a gentleman who had means o information, that Gen. Leo had been visited by a No? York publisher |we believe Mr. Richardson) with i view of inducing him to write a history of the war, tbi publication of which, upon terms very liberal to Gen Loo, would bn undertaken by Mr. R. If wowero oorrootl; informed, tho General did not, at least at that tim? enter into any agreement on tho subject Bat he com m un lea ted to our informant tho sense of obligation wblil ho felt to do J i ?ntico to tho groat army ho had command ed, by making a historic record Of its deeds of valor and its ?lir-plays of fidelity and endurance.

The President has made the important announcement that the tri;?l of JutMaatm Davis wiU take place at an early day. There is no divining, however, what obsta cles may intervene, arising from tcchnlca) Informalities of the Courts. It is said that Mr. CtUfin has given It as hie opinion that the trial cannot legally take place In Richmond. It may yet bo within tho range of proba 'bility that Mr. Davis will be released without a trial at all. The knowing ones here, or rather those who claim to bo no, give Mr. Ch?SE credit for a desire to withdraw from Iho very exalted position he now occupies, and aim at ntiU higher came, perched upon no 1" >ft lofty an eminc?co'fhrtn the white House itself. Tho case of Commodore Craven wan brought up on Tuesday before tho Farragut Court-martial. The Com modore is crarged with bating failed to attempt to de feat and capture the Confederate ism Stonewall, which was in the harbor of Ferrol, whilst ho (tbe Commodore) was on band at the time, in command of tho Niagara, with the Saciameuto and anothor ship-of-war ready to furnish assistance. Tho accused re?]tiestlng. time to obtain counsel, the case was postponed, and the court adjourned till tbo following day, when it was resumed, tho Commodore pleading not guilty to all the charges in the indictment, together with their specifications. A delegation of Fox Indians havo paid their respects to tho President. Ono of tbe chiefs remarked that he had heard of their "Great Father"?meaning the Prosl ?leut?and ha?l always longed for an opportunity of be ing proaanted to him. The delegation presented their p?tition, praying a ronewal of certain rights withhold ol ?ate. Thereupon the President promised that all should be satisfactorily adjusted, and the Indiana parted from their "groat father" with a general affectionate shaking uf hands. From Information received at the State Department, from tho Unite?States Consul at Havana, it appears that there has been a most serious outbreak at Jamaica. Troops and vessels of war have bouu tendered to the British Consul General, by tho Captain Garnirai of tho Ifdand of Cuba, to assist in quelling the insurrection. Two war vcssols have been accepted by the British authorities. It ia feared that tho allai, can hot bo effect Ut?y put down in less, than several months. Jamaica baa a population of 400,000, of which there aro but 10,000 whites. The time chosen is most opportune for tho insurgents, as there are but few English troops at present, stationed on tho island, and the Wolverine is the only war atearner there. Commander Muury sends a dispatch t.i the Navy De partment, la which he ?tatos that tho ram Sloncutill ia at Havana, ready for nailing, and that the authorities nt Havana have given hum a cordial and courteous recep tion. The iS'fonricoff was to sail for the Navy Yard at this port in a few days. , , A nit itina of the Board of Trado ?M the District of Co lumbia was held at tho council Chamber last evening. A report of tho proceedings, though it would be rend with inlercat here, would not perhaps be perused with equal interest by your readers. At the public installation last Monday night of tho Martha Washington Social Temple of Honor and Tem por?neo, the society was presumed by Mr. John Hboil ?1. in. in behalf of Fidelity Social Templo of Philadelphia, with a magnificent set of aistor officers' regalia. Tho affair went off most agreeably and plea?ntly for all par lies, tho Quartette Club lending a musical charm to tho whole. The Unite! States steamer Suwanee, Which had been sent out in search of tho Shonaodoah, has returned to Bun Francisco, having met with no success. Graver's theatre Is running "tho Strcots of New York," a drama of the sensational school Tho "Rob inson Sisters" appear to-night at tho Canterbury, and for Monday next wo aro promised au extra sensational production caUed "the Fenians' Triumph." It Is prob able that this triumph will never bo enacted on any but a mimic stage. There is no chance of its ever being attained on the larger s tago of life. "OUR MUTUAL FRIEND."

Some of those wh addressed the meeting stated that It was necessary t resort to prompt action in ardor to prevent Baltimor and Mow York from taking from Philadelphia all It shipping business. Another announced that ho ha been a?lured that he could run a steamship from Bait: more to Wilmington at greater profit than if he ran fror Philadelphia. A committee was thereupon appointed t Boholt subscriptions to start Unes of steamers to Charlei ton, Savannah and New Orleans. It has been Philadelphia's misfortune never to hav i?niad on a Tery extensive trado with the South, an from recent commercial reparts wo should imagino tin Baltimore and New York bavo already taken away fror it all of It? shipping bolineas.

NORTH AND (SOUTH. WTi:m;-rtv?i RKPOaTOV Ml t^TEiiviRW with the vri:ki OKNT?HOUTUKttS rSTIMATK OF NOHTHV.IIN bKNTl 31KHT. [From the Atlanta intelligenter.] Wo had tl:o pleasure of a visit in our tnnetum, yoster dny, from Judge O. A. Lochrane, who has JURt returned from a Northern tour. We were pleased to fin?! the Judge in excellont spirits, and hopeful of our early res toration to peace and prosperity. Ho found in tho i North, mid at Washington, groat liberality of sentiment I lb tbe mind? ol the people, and a general disposition to i let by-Rones be by-gones. Tho radical*, of course, he | found bitter in their denunciations of the Administra tion and the conciliatory policy it hail observed toward ! tho Smith. Judge Lochrane lind n long and sotlBfactory I interview with the President, in which the present uii fortunate condition of the country wan freely dismissed. : Ho found the Chief Executive kuidly disposed toward j us, and determined to (stem the current that seeks to overwhelm this unhappy section in ruin. He think? wo j have much to hope for at tho bauds uf Mr? Johnson, and it become? us, ns n people, to .sustain him mid his administration fully, nun;fully, mid with a zeal that I knows no abatement. The Judge speaks in the most exalted terms of President j Johnson und of his magnanimity and Justice; ho is sat | isfled that his sole und patriotic purpose is to restore the i Dnion, and to establish upon a flrnicrand broader basis tho principles of freo government in thlB land. He throws his soul and heart into the ?piestion of pacifica-, tlon, and c-tpects the whole flonth with unanimity to rally around the policy of justice nnd equality among the Stote*, which be so impartially nnil firmly main tains, and to come up manfully to the gunrantccs of pro tectlou and luv which the condition of tho freed men de mands. Tho Judge speaks of the kindly sentiments of the Northern people generally, their desire to forget the past, and to make overy overture of friendship un?l sym pathy to our people. They have prospered^while wo have suffered, and now with capital they propose aiding our fortunes, and lining us by the hand on a level with themselves. Many capitalista have furnished means to Southern planters'to carry on their plnututg interests, and await the development of the future to be reimburs ed. In fact, bo knows many instances where the libe rality of tbe North will lio felt in its advancement of in dustrial as well as commercial interests, and the states manship of the country sees (he nrccssity of stimulating our country products, and will in the halls of Congress be felt in advocacy of leaving to our State Legislatures the adoption of laws consistent with the Constitution, controlling the labor of tho country by protecting eon tracts from violation, oi:d idleness nnd vagrancy from the eleemosynary impunity it now has-, Ho speaks of tho gro .t growth of the- North and West, I heir teeming population and overflowing prosperity, nnd howlittlc injury tho war had done to them; and stated his 1 uipresalnu of our soon beiui; made to sharo their couddenro byitho adoption of just and liberal prin ciples of legislal ion. The North Insists that tho freed men shall have lo^al rights, and these wo must give with out question. He must have protection, uu<l (his tho law must provide. On the negro suffrage question, he believes the Free Stales, both North and West, aro gradually yielding to the President's policy of leaving this matter to tho States to settle for themselves, and a moro conservative spirit Is now prevailing and widening day by day. He alluded to tho impression that ho had favored this doctrine?au impression vholly erroneous; He had never, for a moment, entertained surh an Idea, und regrotte?! that h? had ever been charged with It. On the whole, the Judse given us a hopeful view of the condition of the country oud its futir?: prospects, and believes that we will soon return to civil law, and have tho Froodraon's Bureau anil military rule lifted from us; ami In this opinion, not only himself hut tho best men of the North agreed that tho ?liy Ik net far distant when wo may be left to govern ourselves. Judge. Lochrauc traveled from Washington lu com p.my with Alexander II. Stephens uud Judge Linton Stephen*. He was gratified nt the kindly feelings ex pressed toward Mr. Stephens alonp tho entire route. Warm sympathy lor tho ox-inmate ofFort Warren per vaded the breasts of &R with whom ht came in contact, and a lull indorsement of tin; President's mnguauimity in restoring him to his friends and to lu? State. Mr. Stephens left for hU homo yesterday; morning, only remaining over in our city one night. Judge. Loc.h rano left for Miilodgevillo on tue train yesterday after noon. Mr. Stephens, wo are happy to slate, is in his usual health. > A Statue to Stonewall Jaclnon. Wo and in the Baltimore Gazette the following com munication from Colonel Pbxmoh, In relation to a statue to bo erected to the great Confederate General: To tKc Executive Committee of the Jackson Statue Associa tion: Gr.KTi.nMEM?I beg leave to announce to you that the east of the Colossal Equestrian Htitue of Jackson Is now ready tor the founder, and Mr. Volck only waita for the funds necessary to carry on the work to its completion. I regret to Btate that, owing to circumstance? oognirabl? to all of you, no subscriptions have been received elnoc my last report to you, and that, owing to the terrible ami sudden collapse of . the Confederate Government, th? small investment In Confederate bonds has been tetall] lost. The terms of your contract with Mr. Volck requin the advince of $15,000 in gold now, and tbe farther sun of $5000 when the work shall be completed. As yov are aware, Mr. Volck is a young man of mod?r?t? means, wholly insufficient to enable him to carry on tht work himself, and it will be apparently unjust to bin to expert him to hold his work for an indefinito period Proposals have been made to him in Europe for the pur chase of tho statue, which have been declined by Mr Volck, from an unwillingness on his part to divert th< statue from ita original design and purpose Ho ha recently arrived from the Kingdom of Bavaria, for th< solo purpose of ascertaining what arrangements, if any can be made on your part to fulfil your contract; and h bas oiprensed a deop anxiety that you shall not be dia appointed. Ho is desirous that renewed efforts may b modo by you to raise the requisite funds, and will awai a reasonable time to see the results of thoso efforts Widely separated from each other, I found that to con suit with each of you, as to tho measures to.be adopted would Involve such delay as might defeat our wish? end hence, as your organ, I have addressed an appeal t tho public, asking tho requisite old, and have also lud rated that the European admirers of Jackson might a va: themselves of this opportunity to testify their.appreclt tlon of tho illustrious hero. I trust that this will met your approval, and that you will lend your personal aid each tu his own State, promptly to meet tho demanda c the artist. I will do all In my power?I hopo you wl do llkowiso. I use the press as the only means of cone m uni cation with yon, and hope to receive an early an satisfactory response from each of you.'

The Now York Chronicle states that the numbor ? petroleum companies is 1,100, with a nominal capital ( f?oo.ooo.ooo, of which 15 per cent., or $00,000,000, hat been paid up.
