Ia the Senate, Mr. Wilson, from tho Military Committee, reported the bill to create the grade of -General in the army. Mr. Williams offered a resolution directing the Judiciary Committee to inquire into and report upon the expediency of providing for a uniform ana effectua 1 mode of elec? tion of United States Senators by the Legislatures of the. rosDoctivc States. The resolution - was adop/od. At the request of Mr. Fessenden. the consideration of the Reconstruction resolutions waa postponed until Wednesday. Mr. Hendricks jtukea that the Colorado Bi l and the President's reto be taken np. The Senate decided to make them the special order for Tuesday next. The Fortification Appropriation Bill was taken up and Sassed. The bill incorporating the Academy of [oslo in Washington was passed. Lu tho House, Mr. Lawrence, of Ohio, introduc? ed bills to proteot the right of action of loyal citi? zens, to define and punish crimes, and to amend the ant to establish the Judicial Courts of the United States. Mr. Davis offered a resolution, which was adoptod, directing the Committee on Banking and Currency to inquire into the ex? pediency of excepting the currency of State bonds, outstanding on the 1st of July, from the tax of 10 per cent., now provided by law, until the 1st day of July, 1867, to some day previous thereto. The resolution offered by Mr. MoClurg, in Fobrnary, proposing to levy contributions on the seceding States, to defray the expenses incurred in pro? tecting loyal citizens and maintaining the au? thority of the Government in those States, was taken up and passed. The House also agreed to the resolutions offered by Mr. Henderson, sus? taining the President in executing the laws of the United States upon a enf?oient number of leading rebels in oach of the States lately in insurrection, to vindicate tbe majesty of thc law, to sustain the confidence of the loyal people, and to warn tho. re? fractory for all time to come. Tho Tux Bill was then takon up. PROPERTY CAPT DU CD DURINO THE WAK. [From the Nevi Fork Timex' Washington correspondence, dated Hst.] By the aota of July and August, 1861, all prop? erty of the citizens of insurrectionary States, found therein, and all vessels belonging to insur? gents, were required, when captured, to be for? feited, and the proomds of sale paid into the Treasury, for the use * the United States. Tbe proceeds of large captures of such property, amounting to several millions of dollars, are claimed by military and naval officers, and they are accordingly taking measures, through the Admiralty Courts, to have the property con? demned and adjudged to their own use and that of the Naval Pension Fund. Tho question is now pending before the Superior Court, whether suoh property, BO captured, Bhould be for? feited to the United States, or for the benefit of the oaptors. In view of these facto, the House of Representatives not long ago direct? ed the Ssoretarr of the Treasury to withhold a distribution of proceeds until the judicial question shall bo determined, and requested him to take auch means, as in his judgment might seem pro? per, to have the claims of tho United States, in such oases, folly heard. The Secretary, in re ! spouse, says: "It does not appear by tho files of the Treasury Department that the receipts of any such propertv as described in the House resolution have boen olaimod Dy officers of tho army, nor doos it distinctly appoar how much, if any, has bt-en claimed byofhoera of the navy. Six hundred and eighty-seven prize cases have boer, docreod, amounting to nearly $23,000.000, which amount, deducting, say, one-half credited to the Navy Pen? sion Fund, has been paid as foll?n-a: Amount paid officers of tho navy, $4,762,000; and to enlisted men of the navy, $5,341,000; or a total of $10,103,000. Tho filos of tho Dophrtmc-nt do not furnish satisfactory moans of determining what proportion of those amounts consists of tho proceeds of property comprehended in tho scope of the acts of July and August. 1861, inas? much as that faot is not distinctly shown by tho certificates of distribution, and can bo ascertain? ed only cy examination of the records of the sev? eral oases on the files of the respective courts. Tho law of June, 1864, exprosaly provides that tho net amount dooreod for distribution to the United States, or to vessels of the navy, shall be ordored by the court to be paid into the Treasury, to be distributed according to the decree of tho Court, which toe Secretary says in thia respect seems to leave no discretion to the Department. It further appears that thirty-two oases remain pending in the United States Supreme Court, and two hun? dred and sixty-eight cases in the Circuit or Dis? trict Courts-m all threo hundred cases-all of them nominally cases of prize ol' war, but more or less of which may be oases of rovenuo forfeit? ure, under the acte of July and August. The amount in liquidation is.equal to $9,500,000. The Seoretary has taken ateps to investigate the char? acter of all these oases.

It should never be for? gotten that the essential principie of tobaoco is nicotine, one of the most deadly poisons known. The Confed?rate Dead. Mr. Ed.iior: Pie-.BO allow me space in your valu? able journal to make some further suggestions relative to the decorating of the graves and com? memorating the names of our once brave but now departed soldiers. In the first place, I beg to disclaim all idea or intention of saying one word in my former article that would in the least influence the cold shoulder against the patriotic move that the Ladies' Asso? ciation is now making. No, no 1 My wish was and is now to s/toio them a "more excellent way" than that contemplated In their resolutions. I admit that it may be greatly beneficial for us to often visit the receptacles of the'doad, and shed the tear of affectionate memory over the hallowed spot, which sometimes acts aa a soothing balm to the widowed heart. It is there that we can behold ourselves as mortal beings, and that there, too, is a place appointed for us all. We well know that, by an irrevocable decree of the Great Maker and -Disposer of events, these mortal remains, when thus deposited, must return to the dust from whence they come, and cannot return to us on earth again; therefore, they need not our care. But the living, the destitute widow and orphan, We have with us, and are now in want-honce, if we desire to decorate the graves, and ever re? member the dead, let us throw the arm of protec? tion around 'the distressed widow, which will be ornamenting the grave of her departed husband with flowers whose fragrance will be more sweet than the Otto of Roses, a Do we desire to perpetuate the names of our once brave and distinguished JOHNSON-the high toned and invincible STEVENS-tho gallant ELLI? OTT, and a host of others, their compatriota in arms, who, as brave and gallant privaten in the ranks of our* army, went forth to do battle and now fill a patriot's grave 7 then let us look up their once loved little ones/ now homeless orphans, and so educate and cultivate their minds that iii them we can have restored to us those high toned principles and shiping intellects that en? larged the hearts and swelled the bosom of their fathers. Thus, ladies, you will in the most lasting man? uer comnomorate the deceased braves in the adorned minds of those children, which will be a monument that will reflect with transcendent splendor your benevolent ?nd devoted love for them. . In conclusion, allow meto say that, however in? significant my poa may be, the object is super? latively grand, and I have endeavored to dis? charge my duty, except to contribute as God in his Providence may enable ms to do, towards ita consummation, I beg most respectfully to suggest that when the ladies' association meet on the memorable day, and at the sacred spot where they have resolved to meet, and shall have oom* ploted the object contemplated in their resolution, that they then and there resolve themselves into an association, and recommend the ladies in the several dis tr ic ts of the State to form similar asso? ciations (auxiliary to the Ladies'Association of Charleston, if you please), whose object it shall be to thus care for the before-named widows and orphans, whereby the time shall come when "their children's children shall rise up and call you blessed." Fear not, the want of money which may be ne? cessary for your success. You have only to put forth your united influence, which will act upon those who have the means like the "rushing of a mighty wind," an 1 so touch their hearts that they will exolaim, Ladies, "what shall we do" to aid you in your noble undertaking ? and in the end, a monument will have been completed that will con? tinue to rise higher and higher, and shine both here and in eternity with resplendent grandeur. PHLLO-PB2EDON. Fentanism and Mr Stephens. Editor Daily News : Sin-Your short editorial in this morning's issue of your journal on Mr. STEPHENS cannot fail, and I am sure will not, to increase the popularity of your journal not only amongst Irishmen, but also among all honorable and impartial men. It is in striking contrast with the writings and sayings of those miserable croakers and bigots who utter the bitterest d?nonciations against Fenians, because they do not adopt their plan of action. Forsooth, they would want to make one believe they were infallible, though, they, have repeatedly proved themselves as liab'e to err as other mortals. I take this opportunity of making it known to the numerous readers of your journal, who sym? pathize with suffering Ireland, that the Charles? ton Fenians are not at all despondent. We have ample proof that the Irish people were never more disaffected towards the government than at present; the more so vere the repressive measures the more this feeling li intensified. Consols down to 85; think of that. NAPOLEON says he despises the treaty of 1815. Groat commercial failures. England must take part likely in the pending continental war, or lose her prestige. The sym? pathy of all friends of Ireland the world over for Ii lahmen in their struggle. Though divided un? fortunately in this country, we should not bc dis? couraged, for we know both parties mean fight, though they cannot agree as to the time and place to strike the blow; but os soon as activo measures on oithor side of the Atlantic is commenced, we need anticipate uo great difficulty, for though a few may and will falter, tho hearts of tho mighty mass are in tho right place, and they will not bo found wanting in tho hour ol'trial. If you bavt HT)4ce to iniert thia, vou will much ob H.-o youra, respectfully, * CHARLESTON FENIAN. Charlu* ton, fay 24. BEAUTIES ot ?XIOAN LIVZ.- Tho disorganized social condition iu ibo neiiiliborhuod of tho Rio Orando ia well illustrated by tho follow ng con? versation in a cuffeu houao, at Brownsville, the other day : A gay looking Mexican pleasantly addresses a Frenchman, who understood tho language, say? ing, "Excuso mc, my friend, but it soenia to me we've mot aome-vhero." "I can't ever remember having met you anywher^" replied the other. "Teat's strange," said the Mexican; "I was sure I had mot you; but now aro your right sure that you novcr met me unywhere?" The frenchman, ta ;ing a good look at him, said, "I am very cer? tain I never met you before in my life." "Well, then, I am mistaken iu the man, that's all. and I beg your pardon. Will you take a drink with me, my friend ?" Thc Frenchman accepted, and they drank and separated. The cream of this inter? view consisted iu tho faot that the two had met, and that the Frenchman knew the Mexican the moment be saw him. The Mexican was one of a gang of robbers who reoently pillaged the steamer Montezuma. The Frenchman was on board at the time, and it wac this very robber who had stripped him of his watch and boots, and clothes, even to his last shirt. The Frenchman declinen recognizing him or having him arrested, because if ho did BC, he felt snro of bo ng spotted and murdered by others of the gang. Sweet state of society, isn't it ? FROM KDROPE. Particulars Concerning tbe Financial Panic. By the steamship Cuba, from Liverpool 12th, we have important news,; the general points by which, have been given in our telegrams. The following, ^owever, gives the particulars in reier>j< ence to th* financial panic : GBEAT BRITAIN. ^iirible Financial Panic. Tho financial panic commenced late on Thur s^J day afternoon .'t)f .the lOtlv. in the suspension offl Overend, Gurney & Co. The business was con^ verted ia August last into a limited liability comJ pany, with' a nominal capital of five minion eterl ling, of which a million and a half was paid up.l Tbe liabilities are stated at from ten to twelve! million pounda^eterling. The break-down is at-l tributed to heavy a/jecnlative sales of eharosF whioh forced l*r??*i down from ten premium to al discount. Depositors then began to get alarmed,! and the drain' on the 10th was very severe. Ap<B plication for assistance was made at the Bank ofH England, but the governors declined to give any, on the ground that it would be vain in a onsia Uko the present to assist one establishment un? less they were prepared to help other applications as well." It was too late to make a call on tbe shareholders, or take any other ?tep. The doors of the establishment were consequently closed. The failure does not compromise the Gurnej Bank at Norwich. . , . , On the following morning (Friday ?he 11th) mj tense excitement prevailed in the financial circled of London, Liverpool, and other centres, and baj eine(?d was almost suspended. The Times of the 12th, in its city artiole, i . "The Bank of England yesterday raised tho rat of discount from 8 to 9 per cent, and charge f special advances to 10. The pressure even these terms was enormous; and it was only i unexceptionable bills that an aocommodatic could be obtained. Meanwhile additional most serious disasters were hourly announ The first was that of a comparatively Bmall bi the English Joint Stock, for,?80 0,000 sterling; f came that of petto A Bette for four minions I ling; then that or W. Shrimpton, railway cent tor, for ?200,000; and finally it wai underak that the Imperial Mercantile Credit Assooiatioi whose paid-up capital ia half a million s teri:' and the Consolidated Discount Company .wil Eaid-up capital Of a quarter of a million of st ng, must, with extremely heavy commitmenl pass into liquidation. During the day the rai intense anxiety waa manifested to ascertain j any step had "been t ake a- by leading mer chaff and bankers io represent to the Government ' extent of the crisis, and* a f ilse notification in I stock Exchange to the effect that an extra iee of bank notes to the extent of tea' millions ) been authoriMd caused.at one time a general bound m pritisC" . - Later in the evening it transpired that the . ernment had' resolved.to suspend the Bank C ter Act The assets.qf Peto 4 Bette, even under the i depressed ofrodmetanees, are estimated at minions sterling, and it ia confidently ISSUE that in a short tine a proposition far the adjt ment of all chume can be submitted. Every ono trill hope that this maybe) for Sir Morton Peto and his partner, BU nently among those who have carried ?ho j English enterprise to all parts of tho globe, ' they have commanded high personal regard j sections among their countrymen. ,. It ia alr^dy known that several failures ^dealersIMHM aanonneed io connection wit approaching half-monthly settlement on the Exchange. A large number of country ' were in London to confer with their agents to- provide against all danger from runs. Rumors were circulated in the oom the day of a severe run on the bank of Bari Hoore 8, Honbury 4 Co., but they were om without foundation. There was a run upoi or three other banks, and being well met, soon sided. Both in London and in the country a preparations were very generally made for contingencies. In the Liverpool cotton market there was ai creased panic at the commencement on Fri but less unsteadiness at the close. " At Manchester there was a complete paust Glasgow the iron brokers resolved to eua; business till Monday. In tifo produce markets at London prices almost wholly nominal. Taking into acooun depreciation that bas simultaneously occam English funds, railway and foreign securities, the limitation in the market value pf this pro] since the beginning of the year mny be consit to reaob one hundred and thirty millions ste: to Bay nothing of the losses on cotton, goods, iron and other articles. TEE ACTION OF THE GOVEBNMENT. The action of the Government waa anno' in the House of Commons on Friday at midi by Gladstone, who had been engaged all tht niue in consultation with bankers and others represented to him that the panic in the cit; without parallel in the financial history oountry. Mr. Gladstone said he had addressed a le the Bank of England to the effect that il should find occasion to afford relief to the of legitimate commerce, and make suoh ad' as would require the issue of notes beyoi amount allowed by the Act, the Gover recommended them not to hesitate in do aud undertook, in the event of that oontio to make imm- diate application to Parliami an act of indemnity. The Times, in an editorial, says : "If an can justify the suspension of the Bank C Act, tho panic which swayed the city to ? on Fridav may excuse the step, although heved the rem of terror was appro its end, and would have speedily ceas?, no infraction of the bank law been permitted." Even now it ia probable the license allowed to the bank will not be used. It cannot, however, be denied that about midday yesterday, the tumult became a route. The doors of the most respectable banking house t were besieged, more perhaps by a mob, actuated by a strange- sympa? thy, wbicn makes and keeps a mob together, than by the creditors of banks, and throngs heaving and tumbling about Lombard-street made. that narrow thoroughfare impassable. Suoh excite? ment, on all sides bas not been witnessed since the great crisis of 1H25. Each man exaggerated the suspicions of his neighbor, and until a report, at that time unfounded, was circulated in thc after? noon, that the Government had authorized tho bank directors to issue five millions additional in notes, it seemed as if the fear and distrust of the commercial world bad suddenly become bound? less. The statement was baseless at the time, but served to allay the panic which had no solid foundation. Even the announcement of Peto's suspension did not revive tho panic in its first in? tensity, and the statement of othor stoppages produced little effect." The Times adds: "We noed to be persuaded that had the Government stood firm the pauic would have subsided itself, and if, as wo are to expect, confidence will be speedily restored, we shall attribute it to natural causes rather than to the interference of the Executive Government." The Daily News applauds the wisc and prompt action of the Government. It says: '"During Fri? day the Bank extended its loans and discounts, until the amount exceeded four millions sterling. The effect was to reduce the Bank reserve by nearly three millions. Thia diminution and the prevailing distrust justified the Government in? tervention." COTTON SEED.
