WASHINGTON, February 13.-In the Senate, Mr. Po MES oY presented a petition from Arkansas loy? alists, asking an amendment to ELLIOTT'S Bill, to in dude Arkansas. Mr. WADE moved to take np EL? LIOTT'S House Bill, hoping that Senators would be brief in their arguments. Mr. LANE asked to proceed to the regular business. Mr. WADE re? plied, that if the Bill was not acted upon immedi? ately, it could not become a law at this session. The Chair decided that the Bill could be read once, but must have the unanimous consent to go fur? ther. The vote to take up was passed by a vote of twenty-three to niueteen, when the Bill was read. Mr. HENDRICKS objected to further proceedings, and il lays over. The Military Committee were discharged from the further consideration' of the Bill to pay the Tennessee Home Guards. The League Island Bill was discussed. The Secretary of War was called on for the authority of a commiasian appointed during the war to adju? dicate the claims of loyal Tennesseans, and the amount and nature of the claims adjudicated. Mr. WADS read a dispatch from Calorado mass meeting requesting admission. In the House, the general business was unim? portant. Mr. STEVENS' Bill was taken np, when he moved the previous question, which was negatived, Mr. STEVENS proposed an amendment which, on ob? jection, he withdrew, saying that he had tried vainly to satisfy the gentlemen around him. Mr. BOUTWELA. argued that the Supreme Court might decide that the States were still States and entitled to representation, which would cause a hazardous conflict; but if the Bill passed, the Su? preme Court would have no government to reor? ganize; Congress would have in its own hands the political reorganization of the States by passing the Bili, At 2 o'clock, Mr. STEVENS again moved the previous question, which was negatived. Mr. BINGHAM spoke in opposition, and took occasion highly to eulogize ELLIOTT'S Bill. Mr. BLAIN . moved the previous question, to refer the Bill to the Judiciary Committee, which was seconded. Mr. STEVENS spoke for half an hour, and complain? ed pathetically; defended the Reconstruction-Com mit tee; abused BINGHAM; opposed ELLIOTT'S'Bill, because it meant something to be done which looked like a finality leading to admission. This position was greeted with "No, no." Mr. SHELIA BEBOEB explained that there was a Bpedal provi? sion in ELLIOTT'S Bill, requiring the assent of Con? gress to the proposed admission. Mr. STEVENS then seemed to regain his lost power. The main question was then taken on Mr. BLAIN'S motion to refer to the Judi ciary Committee. The Democrats generally voted .with BLAIN. There were two ma? jority against BLAIN'S motion. The original Bill was then passed by a vote of 109 to 55. Mr. STE? VENS exalted over the final success of his BUL and asked the Speaker if it would be in order for him to endorse the declaration that Heaven yet ruled and there, were gods above. The House then ad? journed. Mr. STEVENS' Bill that has passed, reads the so called Confederate "States, instead of the so-called States. Washington News. WASHINGTON, February 13.-To facilitate the conversion of the 7-30a, doe in August, the Treas? ury Department propose paying the Express charges to Washington until the 1st April on bonds returned.

THE DIRECTORY OP BERLIN.-Every year, says the Pall Mall Gazette, brings its now 'Tos to thee D rectory," and some corl?os observers are always found to count the number of familiar names and note the varieties of strange ones. This has just been done with tho Berlin Directory. We are not surprised to hear that in the capital of Prussia there are 1267 persons who bear the name of Scholz, and 929 who bear the name of Muller. Schmidt has 884 representatives, Meyer 509, and Lehman 474. After these classical names we come on a very large class of persons who take their ti? tles from menial offices. There are 474 Vintners, 254 Cooks and 197 Bakers, 165 Colliers and 284 Fishers. Animals also give names to various classes. Of Hares there are 114, and of Cocks 140; 96 Stags and 84 Foxes; 78 Goats, 5 Oxen and 6 Sheep, with 38 Butchers. We next come to 34 Pike, 86 Eagles, 12Storks, 2 Sparrows, 35 Finches and 13 Nightingales. Tho seasons are unequally distributed, there being only 1 Spring to 82 Sum? mers, 33 Autumns and 53 Winters. So we mount up to 14 Popes, 48 Knights, 21 Counts, 81 Dukes, 116 Kings and 55 Emperors. HISTORICAL FICTIONS.-General Early, of tho late Confederate army, has published a pamphlet fiving a history of his campaigns in the valley of irginia, in which he asserts that the Federal Gen? erals, including Generala McClellan, Grant, Meade and Sherman, never failed, in all their dispatches, to place the forces of the Confederates opposed to them, at three and four tinos their real number In these assertions, General Early ia supported br? other Confederate commanders. At tho battlea before Richmond, when General McClellan esti? mated General Lee's army in defense of the city at over 200,000, it is affirmed that the Confederate force did not exceed 70,000; at the battle of Antie? tam, when the Confederates were estimated by General McClellan at over 100,000, there were but 80,000; at Cold Harbor, ' when General Grant put down General Breckinridge's command at 15,000, there were but 3000. and in the campaigns in' th? Valley, General Early asserts that General Sheri <2An frequently reported the capture of a larger number of prisoners than his whole army. 'CHAMBER OP COMMERCE, ff ANNIVERSARY DINNER, The 44th Anniversary of the Chamber of Com? merce of Charleston was celebrated yesterday eve? ning, by a magnificent Jinner at the Mills House. At 5? o'clock, the memuers and invited guests as? sembled, and, as a friend remarked to us at the time, the President apprehended no difficulty about getting a quorum. The dinner came oft" in the ladies' ordinary of the Mills House, and was all that a fine dinner could bo expected to be. We do not like to transcribe bills of fare, for, however welcome their contents to the true taste in its primitime eenee, they have long since been voted not in taste (in the meta? phorical acceptation ol' that term), and wo shall therefore only state that the bill of fare was print? ed in elegant style by our cunning friend, Mr. A. J. BURKE, and bristled with an enumeration of all that was choice on earth, sea and sky.' Mine host of the Mills House, Mr. PTJBCELL, has often before accomplished wonderful feats of Bymposial prepa? ration, and we therefore naturally expected much, j1 but we must confess in all candor, that yesterday '1 he surpassed all our preconceptions, nay, he sur? passed himself; for a better dinner-better and choice viands-better cooked and better served, wo have never tasted, never seen and never known. Same as to wines, &c. But enough of this, the grosser and mere mate? rial part of the entertainment. The dinner was very well, but after all was merely a means to an r ii J : the end a reunion of congenial spirits, and not in a long time have we seen a gathering as j [argo, and where all came so fully datermined to } snjoy themselves, as was the case here yesterday, rbis was the first dinner the Chamber has had in several years, and all parties present seemed to feel thc -bligation to contribute all in their power j to make it one of material pleasure and enjoy? ment. So well had the President of the Society anet Lhe Stewards made their arrangements, that there ?vas no drag. Everything went off smoothly and j iappily. ( There were a number of distinguished gnestti present; among them we would name His Excel ency Governor JAMES L. ORE, Hon. WM. PORCHER ] MILES, Judge G LOB OE 8. BRYAN, Judge FRANKLIN i J. MOSES, His Honor Mayor-P. C. GAILLARD, STAN LEV G. TROTT, Esq., Postmaster of Charleston; FREDERICK A. SAWYER, Collector of Lateran! Seve? rne; Senor MONCAPO, Her Spanish Majesty's Con ml, and M. LANIN, the French Consul in this city; 1 Captain HuDotNs, of the Carrol, and Captain DUT- 1 CON, o? the Sea GvM, and W. S. HASTIE, Esq., President Charleston Board of Trade. Bev. E. J. ME YN ARD IE being called upon by the T President, pronounced a blessing upon the boun- c toona feast set before the Chamber; and; there? upon, the assembled company yet to work in fair 1 aarnest to do justice to the many good things pro- r rided for their consideration. After which (about a ) o'clock, P. M.,) the President, A. O. ANDREWS, Esq., arose and addressed the Chamber as follows : Geatlernm of the Chamber of Commerce .--The ' c privilege is highly prized by me of tendering to ron the solicitations which belong to your festal lay, and of tendering my acknowledgements for that continued kindness which still makes me TOUT honored exponent. I bid you welcome once p igain to that social com mm i i on in which eac h may, for a little while, cast the harness from his back, D forget, for a short interval, the cankering cares uid hard anxieties which make our lot, and amid " he appliances which cheer the heart, feel more g ?losely the brotherhood which binds us as one, ?? ind take fresh courage, and a goodly cheer, for he campaign of the morrow. Q What thc? storm and clond lower thick and ei ?eavy-steadfast in the path of duty, we possess mr BOUIS in patience and commit results to Him vhose benedictive providence is continually, from ll, educing good. What tho' our money chests shew not such ani? lle treasure, we can still rejoice that not a dirty hilling soils the pile, and realize, like the ancient > bil, that our losses only give added appr?cia- k ion to the remnant I But while I gladly Did you el releome to the indulgence of all that festive com- ? lunion, so fitly in harmony with the occasion, I ai annot refrain from invoking your consideration ti o that grave and vital solution which strides 'a ight before us like a Colonua-demanding eames t, tl is tant attention. Hitherto, our province aa a Chamber bas been ather to deal with a commerce already existing o turn with our own channels, and appropriate he abounding resulta of a system of labor ad nirably applied in developing the riches of our o! oil. ' I e< Now, it has heroine our duty almost to create new that commerce. And in order to keep live and preserve it from perishing, we must naugurate a new system of labor adapted to the hanged condition of things. 01 A land without laborers, why it is a body with- S1 mt blood I This is not a vam thing, it is your e: if?-' * g ? The spring, toe head, the fountain of your blood fi 11 stopped-the very source of it is stopped." jj Every industrial pursuit-every vocation rhich skill plies its cunning fingers-every invest- 8< aant of accumulated gain-feeto the death-atooke P: s effectually as when in the bodily organism. 01 lome unlucky blow leto loose from its appointed e ourses the crimson tide. We must wilt, and raste, and perish, unless thia life-giving current s restored. You must grapple with this difficulty oanfnlly, earnestly, successfully-and what is ?" lone, must be done guicldy ! I therefore regarnit as->a happy contingency " bat we are favored to-night with toe presence of cl ii honored Executive, not only because I know ftl ?on will delight to tender to him the manifesta- ? ions of your good will, but because it will afford ji opportunity of profiting by that large field of I ibservation, that penetrating sagacity, and that ?levated patriotism which so eminently distinguish lim. . Join with me. then, in a rich, cordial and joyous n ibation, while I propose to yon: ti Bis Excellency Governor Orr-With the head to j? )orceivo, and a heart to feel the needs of our dear " >ld mother, his counsels will come fo ns with a \e veight entitling them to confidence. 1 Mr. ANDREWS waa repeatedly interrupted by loud ind prolonged applause. He will pardon ns for o laying that we consider him one of the happiest ti ] wet-prandial speakers we have ever had the plea mre of listening to; easy, clear, felicitous, and to jj he point k Governor JAMES L. ORB, thus introduced, rose, unid the long and prolonged plaudits of the com >any, and said that he congratulated himself on ds good fortune in having been permitted to be tresant on this propitious occasion. A native of a louth Carohna himself, and from his earliest child- ti iood taught to look np to Charleston aa the me- c ropolis, the chief seat cf the civilization, intelli- ^ ;ence, refinement and progress of South Carolina, o Ie said tbat twenty years ago, when he was first . member of the Legislature, the delegation from Jharlostcn and the members from the mountains learly always voted together. This city, during c he last six years, has been devastated and severe- f y visited in various way s; but thia is no time for * i irimination or recrimination. He stated that he '( ras present duringths disastrous fire of 1861, and Jj n going recently over the burnt district, he was lorry that the deBert waste was much the same as be devouring element had left it five years ago. Ie had recently been in Bichmond, which suffered/ >y a heavy conflagration in the spring of 18G5, t ind was gratified to see nearly all of it rebuilt al- t ?eady. What though tho capital for this pur- ? jose was procured from tho North. He cared not \ There the capital came from that would fill tho t unsightly gap. He said that his father had been a ?onntry merchant,- who made his first purchases in I \ Charleston; he himself (Gov. ORR) had grown up, j 1 n a great measure, in a country store, and he was, therefore, able to appieciate tho weight of in na? mco wielded by merchants. The Governor con inuod his remarks, with frequent interruptions of mthusiastic delivery. He adverted to the politi- ? ;al situation, and finally woundup with words of j lope and encouragement for our old city. ? Vice-PieBident S AVENEL, being then called upon remarked that be bad no speech to make, but in a single word would give a toast-the profession, that ive have all been brought up to reverence-" The Clergy of the city of Charleston," which sentiment ivas eloquently responded to by Bey. E. J, MEY NAELLE. He, at the close of his remarks, gave "The Merchants of Charleston, fully qualified tr? sustain the material interest of the community, equally qualified to promote and do honor to thc moral, religious and social influence* of tho com? munity." W?. C. BEE, Esq., one of tho Vicc-Presiden?i, next offered "The Mayor of Charleston-in him, commerce has always found tho enlightened advo? cate of the rights, the exponent of her worth, and the guardian of her interests." To which the Mayor, Col. P. C. GAILLARD, re? plied in his usual earnest, felicitous style. Ho concluded by toasting, in his turu, ''Commerce, the promoter of civilization, refinement," etc. Yice-President WM. L. TBENHOLM, Esq., next presented, in very flattering and graceful terms, the Hon. GEORGE S. BRYAN, Judge of the United States Court, for tho District of South Carolina. We have ample notes of his remarks, but the late hour forbids our giving them in full. He closed by offering the following sentiment : Our fellow countryman, GEOBOE PEABODY, the philanthropist, a true minister of commerce, who has never failed to "communicate," and whose business has been to "distribute." JOHN HANCKEL, Esq., Chairman of the Stewards, toasted the Charleston Board of Trade, to whom he extended the right hand of fellowship. Thin was replied to by TV. S. HASTIE, Esq., the Presi? dent of the Board, in his usual happy style. Tho railroads formed the chief topic of his discourse. In conclusion, he toasted the Chamber of Com? merce. vice-President TUPPER, in very happy terms, brought out Hon. WM. PORCHES MILES, who waa greeted with unbounded enthusiasm, on j respond? ed in a few modest bnt touching remarks, which we hope to give in full in our next. Mr. WM. A. COURTENAY, in response to a call From President ANDREWS, arose and said, that in the discharge of the duty assigned him, he desired to offer a sentiment to an honored guest at our board, one who, coming among ns at a period of | ??reat public embarrassment, has, in the discharge xf the official duties entrusted to him, so blended i courtesy and a delicate consideration for thoBe imong whom he has been thrown for the past two rears, as to win from all classes of the community their reBpect and ihoir esteem. Without farther remarks, he proposed Hie HeaUh of Stanley G. Troll, Esq., Acting Pos.'- \ nosier ai Charleston. Mr. TROTT arose, amid the deafening plaudits of < ;he assembled company, and modestly stated that ' f he had any idea in his head before he rose, the lattering clamor that greeted his appearance had niven it clean beyond his grasp. He was flattered; )ut even delicate compliments are often ombar- . .assing-sometimes through a feeling that they ( ire undeserved, and at other times again from a t lonscionsness of a want: of suitable langnaage in * vliich to acknowledge such compliment. He leartily thanked the company, both individually t md also as the representativo of the commercial 1 lommunity of Charleston for their kind and fa rorable jndgment of his administration, and the iniform personal courtesy that had characterized lis intercourse with them, and had made his du? lles pleasant in this community. He proposed he following sentiment in conclusion : The prosperUy of Ute Mercliants of CJtarieslon: intelligent justico their law-comprehensive en- v erprise their policy-and refined courtesy their f nnnner. t Mr. WM. D. CLANCET, the newly-elected Solicitor, f vas called on for a sentiment, and in a neat and v .erv good-humored compliment drew out FEEDER- r, CK A. SAWYER, Esq., Collector of Internal Seve? rne, who made a few well-timed and very well re- {. served remarks. t Mi-. TUPPER next toasted the city of New York, t vliich was responded to by Mr. JOHN A. WILSON, * if New York. g Sonor MoNCADA.was the recipient of a very com- c ilimentary toast from the President, to which he esponded most feelingly, alluding to his consular ervice in Charleston during the past six years, nd paying a tribute to the heroic oity of Charles on, enduring all the hardships of the war, and heerfnlly bearing its privations, of which he was , daily witness. The Consul of France also received the most larked courtesies; and great gratification was st? ressed at his pr?sence. We must crave the indulgence of our readers, ut more especially of the gentlemen of the enam? or of Commerce and their guestB, for the foreg? oing very imperfect report of this most interest ig entertainment, but the lateness of the hour mst be our excuse; for this report was not fitiish i till two o'clock A. M. V liui Kind of Education, is Now Needed f Not the least important of tho many momentous tiestions arising out of the new state of things in h i eh we now find ourselves placed, is that of the ind of instruction necessary for the rapid and leetive development of our material resources, i nothing will there have to be a more marked id radical change than in our system of educa on. The day of intelligent capital and ignorant bor has forever passed with us. Labor is now 10 common lot of oil, aud educated labor is the acessity of our condition. Our colleges and nni ireities can no longer bo filled with the sons of j ealthy landholders, pursuing a course of classical indies preparatory to a life of indolence and bu? ry, or as a training for the contests and victories "'political ambition. But ou the contrary the luca?on of our youth must now be the capita! ith which they shall go forth in the fields of agri llture, mechanics and commerce, to earn their oily bread, and regain their wasted estates. We say that the youth of our State must be edu ited to this work, for we who are now actively en aged in clearing away the wreck of the past, can epeet^to do little else than prepare tho way and lark ont the foundations for our fut ure prosperity. ; will remain for those who succeed ns on the ut? il stage of life, to rear the superstructure and erald the day, when our noble Old Common - oaltb. having swept away every trace of her pro? mt desolations, shall arise with more than her restine glory to control the political and commer al destinies of a continent. To accomplish this id our youth must have a practical education, he dean languages, metaphysics, law, and politi 11 economy, while desirable and in their proper lhere beneficial, must no longer be the sole or i-en the chief studies of our children. The natu? il sciences, together with their practical applioa on to tbe great interests of agriculture and me ianics, the principles of commercial eoonomy, id the rules thal govern trade, must constitute, ir tbe most part, the training of the mind, while ie physical education of the body to manual labor i requisite to successful preparation for the great ork lying before those wbo are soon to take our laces in the struggle for independence and influ ice. Tho maxim that labor is honorable, must 0 longer be received and laid aside as an abstract -uth which has no practical bearing, but om* lildren must be taught that not to labor is dis onorablo, and that how to labor can only be larned by experience at the plow, the anvil and ie work-bench. Whilst it is necessary that the asaes which are to direct and control the work of .construction, the proprietors of the soil and the 1 tvners of capital mua t ii) future be educated oby- h cally; it is equally as important that the class li ?Inch heretofore have only had physical training, p hould now be mentally and morally instrnctecL y ? matters not whether to the negro as a slave this ind of knowledge was advantageous or otherwise: 1 him as a freedman it is absolutely essential, if o would develop in him a useful and profitable (borer. That educated is more profitable than ignorant ibor, will, we think, hardly be denied, and that an iucatod peasantry is more desirable, both socially nd politically, than an uneducated one, is equally me. The questions then are, how and to what xtent shall this class be taught ? To the latter ^ e answer to tbe highest extent practicable. We - onfees that the light which experience throws np n the intellectual capacity of the negro is not ivorablc to a high state of cultivation. This is specially true of him when freed from coercive overnment. He is bv nature physically indolent nd sloth!al, and seems to be incapacitated for any onsiderable amount of mental exertion. That dis inguished traveller and discoverer, Albert Baker who, lot it be borne in mind, belong i to the Exe er Hall school of emancipationists), speaking of be negro, says that the negro grows physically ut dwarfs intellectually, so that his best days 1 Dentally are those of his childhood, and that as <? Tis physical development increases his moral and uteilectnal powers decrease. These observations f one who devoted several years to the Btudy of ho African character in its native country, and lith a mind predisposed lo Judge favorably, havo ieen amply continued by our own experience; still he negro is capable of some intellectual baining, ind in just the proportion that these powers are levelopod, in just the same ratio will his usefulness io increased. He may be taught to read and write, o enumerate-and lie possesses the property of mitativonesa, HO thut he can acquire many of the killed arts, Teaoh him these, and yon have mada he first and main step towards arousing him from 5 lis indolence and sloth. He will then begin to 1 ealize the moral, social and physical advantages if constant, energetic effort, instead of being Iriven to unwilling labor by the pressure of want, ind hunger, and will then become a conservative ather than a destructive element of society. But j < low is this education to be given and by whom ? tfot by those vagabond adventurers, botfi male and 'emole, who, incapable and indisposed to attempt raining an honest livelihood at homo, flock as birds >f prey aeeklng carrion, to obtain a precarious mbsistence, by pandorirg to the worst appetites iud passions of a degraded and senu-barbarouB .ace, and who, haring no motive other than pcr ional aggrandizement or notoriety, care nothing br the interest or welfare of those for whom they irofess such deep devotion. That among thoso so I j .ailed missionaries from the Northern States, who ire sent under tho auspices of the Freedman's Bu? rean, ore?me voluntarily, to devote their very val? ?anlo time and intellect lo the amelioration and improvement of their beloved protege, the negro, Lhere may be some honest, useful and harmless Joes, we will not undertake to deny; unfortunately, however, wo have not seen or heard of any such. Plie only fruits that we hat e been able to discover from tho. instruction of these puritanical hypo? crites, is increased dissatisfaction, impudence and worthlessness on tho part of those they came to improve, without oven the poor compensation of a knowledge of the alphabet or a conception of tho rudiments of Webster's Universal Yankee Spelling Book. That this ?a not true in every instance, we fain would hope, but there uau be nj.? question as to its being the jouerai rul?, with, we lear, hardly tbe necessary exceptiona to provo tho rule. The influence then of these would-be martyrs to the cttuue cf philanthropy being no deleterious, how shall we best sol about counteracting it '( To this we reply, first, by teaching the freedmen in our employment ourselves; and secondly, by es? tablishing", whenever and wherever practicable, schools for them under Hie supervision of our own people. Let every employer encourage thc freedmen in his service to len ni. and let hun devote a portion of his time to teaching them. We havo still in a great measure the confidence of our former slaves. and if wa but pat forth a very little effort to ia a tract and educate them, we will more than regaii oar former bold upon their affections. Let OB, b; dealing justly and liberally with them, elevate an( encourage their moral sensibilities, and by show in? an interest in their welfare, both temporal am spiritual, secure that influence over them whirl will enable os to make them both a safe and nsefa class in the community. And let us also organize wherever practicable,"schools where they may ob tain at least such instruction as will flt them foi the ordinary avocations of life. Thr.t the negro ought to be educated is we think beyond dispute; that he, will be taught by some? body and in some way, is, we think, 'equally evi? dent ; it remains for us then to see that he receives that which will be most beneficial bbth to him and ourselves ; and the sooner and more earnestly we set about this work, the better for the prosperity of ourselves and our State.

A note for over $500, if payable to order cannot >e sued in the Circuit Court of the United States, inlesa the payer of the note was a non-resident, or ithurwise bau the right to sue in that Court. But f the debt is over $500, sad is payable to A B or rearer, and it is transferred to a non-resident of his State, it can bo sued in the Circuit Court of he United States. The purpose is to thus get heir debtors before a jurisdiction where tho etnedy is more summary and the Stay Law of our tf-ftbe would not be in the way of selling the. debt ir a property. Look sharp, or you will bo caught a this trap. DOUGHERTY. [Albany (Qa.) Neusa.
