Among other things, immigration into Ute State, and the relief of Postmasters who either' made returns to the ivxlerol authorities, which miscarried, or to the Confederate authori? ties, which are ignored, and who are now harassed by Government olaimo.

[SPECIAL COBBESFONDENCE OF THE DAILY NEWS.] THE NEW ORLEANS MOT. WASHINGTON, January 14.-Notwithstanding that the New Orleans riot has boen a theme and a theo? ry for an infinito degree of Radical loquacity, and what, with a multiplicity of military and civil reports that have been previously evoked concern? ing1 that muddled affair, the country has a right to think that investigation in that quarter, at least, is thoroughly "played out;" and so it would bo, had the lato investigation of tho Congressional trio sent thither to attempt a nominal prolongation of this inquiry beon really devoted to that end-but it transpires that there was quite a different matter in view, not so much affecting tho destruction of Dr. Dostie a ad Iiis riotous crow, as looking to a support of tho very effort-the overthrow of tho prevailing government-bv which the latter carno to retribution. This week, perhaps to-morrow, I am informed, that the House Committee on Terri-. torieB intend reporting the Bill providing for the reduction of tho presont Southern States govern? mental organizations to tho status of territorial rule. It was in anticipation of this emergency that tho New Orleans Committee was hurried off iii tho holiday recess to attempt tho pretenso of re-inves? tigating thc riot. A palpable ruse, to be recogniz? ed by tho whole country so soon as the report slndl appear. The Committee will go through the farco of submitting thc evidence taken by thom in rela? tion to tho riot, but the great volume of their re? port is to decry the assumed perversity and malig? nity of Louisianians, and bemoan tho fate of thc so-called "Southern loyalists," with allegations that thoy are persecuted and ostracized by all tho masses of Soufr em society implicated in the re? bellion. This, it is hardly necessary to say, will be the entering wedge adopted by every Representa? tive retained to submit an argument in favor of tho territorial scheme, and ii is now being sharp? ened and perfected with that special reference. Sc L ral gentlemen of Now Orleans aro now in tho city, who were called by tho Committee to ap? pear as witnesses. Prom them I gather thut tho entire conduct of the pretended investigation was most domineering and offensive. The vory first thing tho Committee did was to employ as a door? keeper and mosseugor, a man named Mollicre, formerly of the Confederate service, moro latterly a convict for forgery, and finally one of Gen. But lcr'o detectives during the immaculate administra? tion of that redoubtable officor in Now Orleans. In addition to.this disagreeable action, the Committee affected a brow-beating style of interrogatory whenever tho deponent before them did not happen to be a negro or one of their Southern loyalist pets. One fact, however, was doducedio reference to tho riot which forms a fitting preface to thc history of that affair, and comes now to light for the first timo. In examining a Federal anny officer, who had served five years in tho lato war, and been sta? tioned a year or two in New Orleans, tho Commit? tee unexpectedly- drew out the fact that he was known to the existence of a letter from two mem? bers of the Congressional Reconstruction Commit? tee, addressed to Michael Hahn, Dos tie, and others of that ilk, about a month before the riot, in which the latter were enjoined by the writers that they j must "go ahead and do the best they could. Loui I siana was too remote from Congressional influence to come under the immediate direction of tho Re? construction Committee, but that, in any ovont, a convention for the reformation of tho State Gov- < eminent of Louisiana must bo held as speedily as j possible." As this bit of unexpected evidence was ; evoked, Messrs. Shellabargcr and Elliot, of tho j (>>mmitteo, became vory nervous, tho latter gen- { tleman, in the excess of Iiis zeal to suppress the j unpalatable troth, moro than once exclaiming to j the witness: "Bo careful, sir; wo shall hold you to j a strict account. You aro talking of something < you know nothing about !" j But the murder would out, and though this part of ? tho evidenco will no doubt be ignored by tho above < gentlemen in their re- ort, its publication is certain l in tho minority report to be submitted by Mr. Boyer, \ of Ponnsj'lvania, the lone Democrat on (ho Commit- ] tee, and, moro than this, tho letter from thc Re- j construction Committee, referred too, will thon bo given in foll, a copy having been unearthed from ?[ some mysterious sourco in New Orleans. It is of i Seat length, and most incautiously committal of j B general; line of plots and conspiracies which ( had boen raised to subvert tho State governments of the South, and particularly relating to thc man- j agoment of the coup enjoined to bo attempted m < Louisiana. Who shall say that investigating com- j mittee? are not efficacious, when it transpires that j a trinity of corrupt judges evoke tho truth aud ab- j solve the innocent, when no justice was intended? j This last chapter in that "book of follies," dedica- t ted to tho New Orleans riot and Congressional T action thereon, comos greeting most opportunely, j Not even with the martyred and immaculate Dos- t tie and his comrades eau the onus of the blood- ; shed of tho New Orleans riot now be reposed, t Hore comes the documentary evidenco to show ? that *hey did but too faithfully the bidding of their masters, the Washington Reconstruction Committee, in the iniquitous work of calling thc j revolutionary convention of the 31st of July last. , "Who is to blame ?'. is a.query that the whole coun? try now can answer. ? ' N731BASKA. The Nebraska Bill is Laving a hard time of it in f Congress. After being tossed forward and back, in i the Senate, with a multiplicity"" of amendments tacked ou to the original measure, the biil at last emerged from that bo?%, and was reported to the House- with no more* Radical proviso than an amendment to the bill of admiB ion, simply pro- 1 : viding that Nebraska should not, at any future i ' perioa, pass any law prescribing distinction on , account of race or color. In the House, this after? noon, tho opposition to the bill, bocauso there was ' no guarantee for impartial or negro suffrage do mauded of Nebraska, was of such violent descrip- i t?on as to presage sure defeat. This is tho second 1 winter that Colorado and Neb? aslta have been coin- i polled to stand knocking in tho cold, willi their I respective braco of Senators in patient waiting j upon the clemency of CougresB towards their plea 1 ? for admission. Prom present appearances, the rigors of yet another season is in store for them; but they may havo tho consolation of hoping for i better luck with the 40th Congress. < THE ASPECT OF THE CAPITAL. Washington is sensibly relieved of thc sombro, ( dreary aspect with which it omened tho season. , and if nothing occurs to upset the equanimity of . tho beau monde, such as tho elopement of a Con- ( grossman with a fellow-member's wife, or the mar? riage of some ono of tho Washington belles to some titled attache cf tho Diplomatic Corps, I think matters may glide auspiciously on to some? thing like gaiety aud genteel jollification. The ' latter of the two apprehended disturbances hinted , at above, I am sorry to say, is always deemed immirient by certain veteran; dowagers who have the dispensation of several bundles of tho marriageable article, and who cannot enter tho ? field fairly, but persist in getting up tho most iu- i terminable feuds with those who rival their claims. ? The consequence is, that if any ono of thc ''sweet i princes" of the foreign legations intimates, by a se? ries of delicate attentions to some fail' ono. that bis intentions aro other than "strictly dishonorable." all tho competitors in the race takemn?brage. and up goes the prospect of a dozen genial entertain- 1 mente, because the mesdames in question aro en- j gaged in a social war that precludes a meeting' of ! the antagonistic elements in tho salons of "upper ! tendonv' On Thursday next, the President gives J his first general reception, and on the day prece- 1 ding he dines tho members of the diplomatic corps. Then comes a series of receptions and par- 1 ties, under the conduct of members of the Cabinet, and Senators who maintain establishments in t'jo city. BUD as yet there is no really magnificent ! affair on tho tapis, and tho grand query ip as to ; who will take the lead. The wives of Senators Sprague and Morgan, who used to vie with each other in the dispensation of princely hospitality; as yet are silent spectators of eveuts. Perhaps they are ruminating how best to stun, the natives with some now device of fashionable dissipation. Judg? ing from tho general serenity of Washingtonians, it Will be a perplexing dodge to hit upon. VIDEX. Our New York Letter. [FEOttt OUB SPECIAL COBBE8PONDENT,] NEW YOEE, January 14.-Victory has^percher? upon the tanner of tho Excise Law army; it perched there on laBt Saturday night, remained there all day yesterday, and flapped its wings and crowed lustily-a bird of good omen looking down upon tiio sober thousands that wcro not so before on former Sabbath days. Tho pretty waiter-girl saloons were promptly closed on Saturday night ere twelve o'clock had strack; yesterday, with but few exceptions, the bar-rooms and lager beer gar? dens oponed not, and people who had novcr before done without their Sunday drinks, dispensed with them, or took them quietly at home. A most curious sensation story has been going tho rounds here, the truth of which I will not en? dorse, but I will present it to your readers as I and thousands of others have heard it told. "They say" that a young lady, who had seen but twelve summers and* had never seen Edwin Booth perforai, requested hoi' parents to take her to thc Winter Garden. Her wish was complied with; she saw tho great tragedian, whoso magnificent eyes turned her little head even more than his exquisite acting. The next dav, when thc little eyo-struck heroino went to school, she missed all her lessons, and talked BO mnch Booth to her companions, that she turned tho heads of moro than one-half tho school. On the day following she talked Booth mero than ever, which had the effect of turning the heads of the balance of tho school-girls, who forgot their geography, missed their grammar, ignored their arithmetic, despised their French, made mis? takes in their compositions, and paid no attention to their rstronomy, thinking of no star btu ono, and that the bright particular star, Edwin Booth. Tho scliool-mistross remonstrated with the parents of tho little revolutionist, and finally expelled lier from tho academy, which was' fast growing to be a lunatic asvlum; meanwhile the little girl had fol? lowed Booth about the streets in hopes of finding out where he resided. It became necessary for her tu be removed from thc city; wherefore sho was taken over to Brooklyn to spend a time with her aunt, but she began to pine away, and implored her aunt to take her once moro to tho Winter Garden, and the kind-hearted old lady complied with hr request. She saw tho eyes once more, and was most wonderfully agitated at tho contempla? tion thereof. That night when she retired, her aunt, who slopt with her, noted that she repeated ' her prayers with more than usual devotedneBs; sho then fell into a sweet sleep. In the middle of tho night the little girl awoke, raised herself up in her bcd, called to her aunt, pronounced the singlo word ''Booth," and then feu back upon her snowy pillow most exceedingly and. emphatically, dead. There- she lay, her soft silken ringlets hid? ing her snowy bosom; there sho lay, her sweet eyes upturned to heaven, and her little rose-bud mouth HO fixed that she seemed to threaten to re? mark ''Booth" once moro, and then die again. This ip the story that is told here by hundreds, and be? lieved by many. You may take it on its own merits(?). It is said that there is nothing new under tho sun. On Saturday night I certainly saw some? thing new under the moon, which shone down very prettily upon Oatman's Park, where the mul? titude, both skaters and non-skaters, viewed with surprise, not unmixed with admiration, tho novel and ingenious contrivance known as Davega's Patent Skater's Support, invented by Isaac Dave ga, Esq., formerly of your city. It is certainly a most ingenious affair. It is shaped like a hoop shirt, or rather like a mammoth baby-walker on ice, and it is impossible for one to fall when supported thereby-in fact your correspondent, who is no skater, tested the tiling himself, and finds it a perfect success. It has been introduced at Oatman's Park/and will, no doubt, soon be in general uso. I am pleased to perceive that a Southern man can sometimes possess ingenuity as well as a live Yankee. A fow evenings ago, I attended, by special invi? tation, a rehearsal of tho play of Mimed Lifo, to bo performod soon by a party of amateurs, com? posed entirely of South Carolinians. There are ton characters in tho dramatis personte, eight of which are personated by Charlestonians, and tho remaining two by a young lady and gentleman from Sumter. Tho piece was performed most admira? bly at tho rehearsal, and will soon bo given in grand style at the privato residence of one of your ex-citizens, beforo an audience in which Southern? ers will so largely predominate that wo will forgot for the moment that wo aro away from our good and well beloved old home. Wo wero favored with a heavy fall of snow on Saturday night and Sunday, and tho sleigh bells sound merrily again. The weather too, is still in? tensely cold, and the skaters enjov themselves to their soul's and SOICB content. ?)ay and night, night and day the slipping and eliding goos on, for this is a sport that can only be enjoyed at certain seasons, and so must be taken advantago of whilst it lasts. There are upwards of thirty thousand work? women in this city, who, as they cannot afford to board in respectable localities, or rather respecta? ble houses-for all localities are pretty much tho same here-there aro thousands of virtuous young women, I say, who are compelled to hoard in houses where* they are exposed to all sorts of temp? tation; where fore, it is proposed to establish a city boarding house for their benofit, and a num? ber of benevolent gcntlomon have taken the thing in hand. At WaUack's "Ours" still running: Booth as "Bertuccio" in "The Fool's Revenge"-the little trui who remarked Booth and the'* died will not he present. "Black Crook," of course, at Niblo's Grarden. A grand "Horse Comedy" at tho New ?fork Circus, and an old, played-out nigger drama -"Uncle Toni1'-at Barnum's. Masquerade balls in grand preparation, and a skating' tournament loxt W'odnesdav night, at Oatman's Park. MOULTRIE. State Items. Mcnnr.it OF COL. STEEDMAN BY NEGBOES.-One :>f tho bravest, best, most popular, most honorable, nost amiable citizens of Lcxmgv.cn District-of ail South Carolina-was Col. Marcellus Steedman, cader for some timo during the late war, of tho 1th S. C. Volunteers. Since the close of the war io has been living on his farm on Edisto, and jeen engaged at tho same time in merchandise. Sis dwelling and store were under the same roof. Ju Tuesday night, tho 8th inst., ho walked out nto the piazza, and as be turned to go in, wa? shot by some person unseen. As ho fell he cried nit. His wife rushed forth, dragged him in and jolted the door. Ho survived but throe hours, rho wretched and bereaved woman, with her two ittlo children, spent the whole night alone with ?he corpse, fearing to give the alarm. Immediately upon tho Bhot being fired, there ?vas a hubbub of voices, and Col. Steedman recog lized those of two nogro men, formerly slaves of lis father. Thia, with thoir names, he disclosed :o his wife before ho died. And sure enough, on the following day tho two nonstcrs wore arrested in Aiken. They made full ;onfessiou. It seems that they had followod Shcr nan when ho passed through "Lexington, and had lot returned thither until a fortnight before the nurder. This fortnight thoy had spent in watchi? ng thoir chance. They had no grudge against heir former young master, but knowing that ho vas in business, they killed him with tho design of jetting money and robbing tho etoro. They in ;eudcd also to* murder tbo lady and childrou, but vitli the first shot their hoarts failed thom. Wo ako it for grantod they aro in Barnwell jail. Col. Jtocdman was only about thirty years of age. [Edgejield Advertiser. Wc see by tho Orangcburg Timos that, during he absence of the post commandant from that own, thc garrison behaved in an outrageous man? ier, halting citizens, demanding thoir pistols, &c., tnd firing upon those who refused lo obey their iommands. Several persona wore beaton, and ?orno shot, though not seriously. From the above, t would seem that tho war is not yet over. [Phamix. BURNING OF THE KlNGSTREE JAIL-F.JEP0BT OF TUE COEONEB'B INQUEBT.-At a Jury of Inquest jummoned to inquire into thc causo and circum? stances of tho burning of thc jail, the following rerdictwas rendered after four days' investiga? tion : That the twenty-two colored persons confined in thc jail of Kiugstroo came to their deaths by the burning of ?aid jail, wherein they were all consum? ed, except the portions of threo" bedies inspected by thc jury. They further found that the firo ori? ginated between tho coiling overhead of tho second .loor and tho floor of the third story; that it was communicated by some of the prisoners confined in the jail, but whether communicated by accident or design tho jury aro unablo to agrco upon any :onclu8ion. They also atatod that had the jailor been in his proper place at the jail, and with tho keys in his possession, when tho jail was first dis? covered to bc on fire, and when tho alarm hud first neon givon, the titree women, and perhaps more ol' the prisoners, cotdd have boen saved, and that for this neglect and dereliction of duty the Sheriff and Tailor are censurable.

THE EXODUS FOB TEXAS.-For the past two weeks our village and its surroundings have been infested with tho negroes who tire congregating hero preparatory to migrating to Texas, and we believe somo avo destined for Florida. Among this mass of bono and sinew may bo scon the gray haired, decrepid old mon and women, tottering with ago and infirmity, and tho infant at ita moth? er's breast. Wo feel a solicitude for theae poor, ignorant wanderers who have been roared among^ us. Thoy arc car iod away with tho idea of going ' to what they are told is a better country, and many of them, we bolieve, with tho notion that people can live thore without laboring. They aro enjoy? ing themselves apparently, at this time, if one .nay judge from the manner in which they lounge about. Thoy aro to be seen at almost ovory street corner with a pieco of bacon and a ludicrous grin on their countenances, indicative of a full stomach . and nothing to do.

Waldron, of Windsor, Vermont, have just ?piu pleted a new railroad bridge across Black Rivor, at this place, for tho Northeastern Railroad Compa? ny. Tho work is of most excellent finish and du? rability. It is what is called a timber lattice bridge, locked togethor at every placo whore the timbers intersect each other and fastened in their Elaces by three-quarter inch iron bolts, aud raced at"tho top and bottom, so that any swaying sidewise of the Imdge ia prevented. The advan? tages claimed by thc contractors for this plan con? sist in tho strain coming directly on tho lock of tho timber, ins; ead of on tho two-inch wooden pins formerly usod in tho construction of the old plank lattl.o bridge; also in thc strength of timbor made by using iron bolts (which cost no moro than woodoo pins), by not cutting off so much of tho timber. Tho bridge is 153 feet in length, and tho amount of wrought iron usod is yOOO pounds; of cast iron 950 pounds, and about 19 OOO foet of timber.

Very many of our planters aro unable yet to perfect their planting' arrangements for tho present year. Great rest? lessness and desiro for chango havo been manifest? ed on the part of tho freedmen, and many planta? tions have been entirely evacuated by them. In some intahces they have loft, without alleged cora {ilaint or grievance, and where their oarnings were argest trom tho year's labor. There will, no doubt, be less laud cultivated tho present than was the past year. It ia to bo hoped, however, that better seasons and better cultivation will largely increase the product.-Sumter Watchman. Those beautiful poems, tho "Conquered Ban? ner" and "Tho Sword of Robert E.

The London Times, in a late issue, speaking cf . the war cloud that is slowly covering the East orn horizon, save: Should; however, the contingeucy-in our opin? ion as yet remote, but daily becoming loss improb? able-of an opon collision between Turkoy and Greece be realized, it is far -from certain that it would at once bring the rest of Europe within its scope. There is no power in thia part of the world, as we ha YO often asserted, prepared at a moment's notice to face tho "Eastern question." The result of the Crimean war put an ond to all alliances, broke up all possible combinations, and gave riso to that isolation of every State which the wars of Italy and Germany subsequently brought into full evidence. Should the war with which we aro now threatened actually break out, France and Germa? ny might find it necessary, Russia might deem it expedient, for some time at least, merely to look on. The real interests of Russia, no less than her prosont social and financial conditions, would seem to advise a temporizing policy; for the Christians of Turkey, she thinKs, are winning her battles while fighting their own. France and Prussia aro watching ono another on the Rhine, and lie a long way from the Danube. Austria, whose aims should be eastward, has neither a homo nor a foreign policy; she has neither a sov? ereign, nor a statesman, nor a people. Should she bo true to her destinies, she might, per? haps, still find in the Gorman elements within her empire, and in her alliance with Prussia and Uni? ted Germany, the means of making up in the East for her losses in the Wost. As it is, however, Von BeuBt and tho Magyars are more likely to involve her in the downfall of tho Ottoman Empire than to enable hor to sharo its fragmonts. Tho mere at? tempt at an alliance with France would entail her ruin, for it would, as if by main forco, throw Prus sia'into tho arms of Russia, win the Upper Danube for the former, and lcavo the lower at tho mercy of the Czar, or of a League of Roumanian, Servian, and other Princes, his dependents. As to Eng? land, we tins t she would be tue last to join in tho melee. Faithful to our convictions that tho fall of Turkey is certain, and that it is equally inadvisa? ble to hasten or to regard it, wo sboifid, for our own part, bo most willing to lot events take their own course; and although wo have aB yet no great faith either in Greeks or in Romans, or ia any otheir of the races once subject to the Porte, wo ?, could wish nothing bettor than that they alone | f should win what the Porto must lese, and that they should so grow in strength, in wisdom and in union, as to ho able to hold their own against all comers. A BANQUET was given hi New Orlcans.last Satur? day night, to Mr. J. P. MAGUTBE, an Irish momber of thc House of Commons;- at which several dis? tinguished Confederate Generals "wpro prosent. Among other speakers present wasjGeneralEooD, who said: "Tho allusion of General Buckner to his gallant companion in arms, General Patrick Cleburne, re? called proud and mournful recolloctious. A ter? rible loss he was to so young and inexperienced a chief as h'm: elf. .Well did ho remember tho last interview ho had with that gallant commander. It was at tho hattie at Franklin, as the noble divis? ion wldch had been so highly disciplined, and which had been lcd in so many sanguinary battles by the heroic Cleburne, marched by him, as he. (General Hood) stood on tho hillside, near Frank? lin, Cleburne approached him and said : 'General Hood, I never was so Bure cf tho victory as I am to-day.' He passed on and was soon lost in tho din of one of the most gallant assaults of the war. The fight was won, but, alas, at such-a cost. The noble form of Cleburne lay :prostrato.and lifeless on tho parapet which had boen so gallantly as? sailed and carried."

How few there are who are not subject to some affection of the lungs or respiratory organs, who, by neglecting premonitory symptoms, aggravate the complaint, uno) disease, strikes its shafts, causing inexpressible torture of the patient, and anxiety and distress to friends. "Only a cold I'" "A slight eora throat !" is the heedless remark of many when so affected. Tes ; "Only s ?old," was tho thoughtless expression of thousands whom Death has marked for his prey. Forewarned-Forearmed I should be the motto forever hi the minds of all subject to Coughs, Colds, Catarrh, or Influenza. Words of advice should be heeded by all suf? fering from Asthma, Bronchitis, Consumption. Relief is vi thin their reach; and, if neglected, fatal consequences ensue-n life of misery-a daily, ? hourly struggle for ex? istence.
