Cotton was quoted in New York yesterday at 33 cents for Middling Uplands. Gold closed at 36*. The war debt of Massachusetts amounts to fifty millions of dollars. Eighty-five students have entered at the Deaf | and Dumb Institute at Raleigh this year. A meeting waa held in Wan en ton, Va., oh Mon? day last, for the purpose of sending corn to the destitute of South Carolina. Gen. SHERIDAN has testified before a committee of the House that military protection for freedmen is stol necessary at the South. A two million dollar hotel is talked of, to be erected on tho highlands of Dorchester, Mass. The site is one of the most beautiful in America. The Russian Government has given an order for one.hundred cast-steel cannon to the great works of KRUPP, of Essex. The contract price is ?2800 per cannon. The first Hwcrn evidence before the Impeach? ment Committee at Washington was taken on Wednesday, 6th instant, and related to Mr. JOHN? SON'S use of the pardoning power. The Toronto Leader says: "We have been in . formed by a respectable gentleman, a resident of the township of Markham, that three or four hun? dred good workmen, farm servants and others, could find ready employment in that township at $130 to' $150 a year, board included." The change going on in Southern population is illustrated by the fact that on Thursday of last week, es, the brig. Derby was about to sail from New Orleans to Rio Janeiro, with disaffected South? erners ss emigrants to Brazil, the bark Sonora, from Bremen, was coming up the river with a com pany of German emigrar ta. ,-. TW>. AXOJBKCni fhg.nT.TraflwnrnTmTf in said hn.va s very boyish face, with a fine nose and month, and with a chin retreating a little. The eyes are gcKxL,the brow high and broad. Altogether he has a remarkable face-innocent, eager, and alive with genius. He is small in stature, but is con-j " centrated, fiery and enthusiastic. - Queen VICTORIA, according to the French jour? nals, intends to visit Germany m. the spring, and will also attend,the Paris Exhibition. She will travel'privately, but whilst in Paris will be the guest of the French Empress. . A London publisher announces "The Lovers' Dictionary ; a Poetical Treasure of Lovers' Thoughts, Fancies," Addresses and Dilemmas, in? dexed for reference as a dictionary of compliments, and guide to the study of the tender science." ?? The Philadelphia Ledger sayB : v "A colored man has been made a c1 erk in the Treasury Depart? ment st Washington. He was formerly. President LxKoourVbarber, and his appointment ia believed to be the first instance on record of a colored man's . obtaining a clerkship under the'Government." The Savannah Republican of yesterday says : "A fotachrn on t of ton United States troops armed and equipped, under comm an d oLSsf geant BAKER, was sent over the river yesterday morning, under orders to garrison tho-Bice Hope Plantation, on the South Csrolinajc?ast.'' - Mr^HETBY HTDB, of Boston, Massachusetts; has ^'lately _ given five thousand dollars to Andover Theological Seminan-, to found a k-ctureahip upon foreign missions.-, Dr. ANDERSON, late Secretary of j the American Board, has. been appointed to deliver the first course. > The committee appointed by the Rhode Island ... Legislature to secure designs for a soldier's monument have agreed upon tile model submitted by RANDOTIPH BOGERS, and recommend an appro? priation of $50,000 for its erection. It is to be loca? ted in Providence. ^ Not far from, the Bed River, in Dakota, there are numerous salt lakes and ponds, which Trill yet prove sources of wealth to the .entire country. Hun? dreds of* acree can' bo covered with evaporating vate, anl millions of bush ela of salt can be made for the merest trifle. The New York Time* states that a single firm in New York has produced, for this year's tirade in valentines, an aggregate of over two anda hall rnifficaa valentines, ranging in price from three cents to one hundred dellars, and the total value of which, as sold at retail, is more than three ? hundred thousand dollars. This is the production ; of a singlo firm. < i A reverend geographer of London, England, not inappropriately named FURSTBS, gives the follow? ing1 definite information about the realms of his satanic majesty : "Hell is 4000 miles from the sur? face of the earth ; it is. a boundless plain of red hot iron, with an atmosphere of fire and rivers of seething filth and sulphur." The Sultan, seeing no .other escape from the troubles arising on every side, has resolved to emancipate the Christians from all disabilities, and has issued .a call for a Turkish Parliament, j j This ia an important move, but whether it will have the desired effect is more than doubtful. j j The Journal of Commerce says : "President | j JOHNSON was asked this morning by a Bostonian how he came to appoint Mr. BANCROFT-who is ] non-resident-Collector of Boston. 'Sir,' replied j the President, % has recently been officially de- 1 dared in Massachusetts, if I am not mistaken, that non-residence is not a disqualification for j t office.'" L Gen. KALKSXHS, according to a cable dispatch, is coming to this country from Greece, whether as an official envoy or merely as a representative of the Grecian popular sentiment towards our peo- I j pie, does not appear. In either case he will re- | l ceive a hearty welcome, and abundant and sub? stantial sympathy. The cause of the Greeks is that of republican government. A great many people are said to be planting the I < Chinese sugar cane in Texas this year. One gen- j j ? tl oman living a few miles from San Antonio plant? ed half an acre with it last year, and made from its yield thirty gallons of molasses, which he sold at a dollar a gallon, and four hundred gallons of ' vinegar, from which he realized fifty cents a gal- \ lou He also secured from the half acre in ques- ] tion over a ton af good fodder, and many bushels ( of seed, valuable for feeding stock. c The Frederick (Md.) Union announces that a 1 Southern Belief Association has been formed in \ Petersville District, in that county, and that a movement is now on foot looking to the formation 1 of similar associations in every district of the 1 county. The New York Southern Belief Associa- \ tion rcs already received $17,000 in cash. The ? association has voted that $10,000 worth of corn shall be immediately purchased, in the cheapest c market, for distribution in Alabama, under th? <: direction of Major-General SWATNE and Governor c PATTON. j; For the following story the Chicago Republican a is responsible: ''At the Charleston Convention, af- ^ ter joining the secessionists, BEN. BUTLER encoun- a tered DEAN BICHMOND, and said: 'I am sorry to leave my old political associates, but you know | '] I am a roan who always goes where his political principles carry him, regardless of consequences.' | f lt's like you, BOILER, by G-,' answered RICH? MOND, who swore by rule. *I never knew but two men with cock-eyes who were entirely honest. One is BENJAMIN F. BUTLER, by J-, and the ots^r was the late JAMES BUCHANAN.. Good morning.'' The Banner, published at Ocala, Fla., eayB : "We learn from an intelligent freedman who came with his family to Smyrna, on the Atlantic side of the peninsula, bi the colony recently brought out by Gen. ELY from South Carolina, that large numbers of them are anxious to get into the interior whero they may get ample reward fer their labor, and -would come had they tpy way of getting away. They are represented as being sadly disappointed and discouraged, aa they see no means of provid? ing themselves and families with sufficient food io prevent starvation. Several of our citizens, Bays the Banner, have gone down, and will doubt? less secure a sufficiency of laborers." The conducting section of the Army Appropria? tion Bfll, recently reported by the Military Com? mittee to the House, is both novel and important. It provides that the headquarters of the army eh all be at Washington ; that all orders relating to military operations, even when made by the Presi? dent and Secretary of War, shall bo issned through the General of the Army ; that the General shall not be removed, scspended or relieved from com? mand, or assigned to duty elsewhere than at head? quarters, without the approval of the Senate; that all orders issued contrary to the requirements of this section shall be null and ^id, and any officer issuing .such orders shall be deemed guilty pf, misdemeanor.

SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 16, 1867. RECONCILIATION AT WASHINGTON. "Extremes meet," it is said; if so, it must bo be? cause of the universal presenco of a centripetal power in morals aud in politics, analngous to the force discovered by Sir ISAAC NEWTON to be inhe? rent in tho cartb. Government, in its very nature, ia necessarily made up of compromises. Were each party that enters into B LCD. an organization to adhere rigidly to its original creed or platform, the machinery of government and of society must (certainly of ?re9 governments) soon be brought to a stop, and tho direst oppression, or else a revolution, bo the inevitable result. Usually thero are tho clements within each party to make a mutual rapprochement possible: men who aro not blind to the results of their course of legisla? tivo conduct, utterly reckless of consequences, and, it may bo, when brought to an ultimate choice, are bold enough to avow that they prefer country to party. It is t y some such process that extremes meet; that important public measures, for years perhaps the topic of bitter party strife, are ultimately ripened, and entered upon the Con? stitution or Starute Book of Law. The Congress at Washington for many months past has been the scene of one of these legislative dead-locks; the Legislature palling in one direc? tion, and the Administration in another. Various remedial measures have been proposed, especially within the past few weeks, with a view of averting the dread catastrophe impending over tho coun? try, in case of a further continuance Of this state of things; as yet, however, without success. But we can now see indicatioi s, becoming daily more and more clear, that the Radical fortress, hitherto deemed impregnable, shows signs of shakiness, and the prospect of an early breach just now is very decided. Some of the men who have hereto? fore been deemed sachems of the Badical tribe aro becoming weak-kneed. They are evidently becom? ing satisfied that, with the reinB.in the hands of THAD. STEVENS, the country is on tho broad road to ruin, and the desire for a compromise between Congress and the President is daily gaining strength. The President, it is now said by "well informed persons," is willing to meet Congress more than half-way in a scheme of reconstruction, and that he. will not opposo himself to any pLan. which embraces the Constitutional AtgfivASeatl proposed by Congress, "and_ ot^er" salutary and necessary measures.?'.. Ttis" rumor receives con? firmation fwrTtho speech made in the House on Saturr3Sy"last by Mr. RAYMOND,-who is consid? ered to represent the President,-in tho cours o of which he proposed the appointment of a select, committee of five or seven members, of which he thought it extremely desirable the vene? rable and distinguished gentleman from Pennsyl? vania (Mr. Stevens) should be chairman, with leave to sit during the session of the House, which should be ii i-sructed to report, as early as Wed? nesday morning next, immediately after tho read? ing of tho journal, a bill which should provide for the protection of life and the preservation of the peaco, temporarily, in theEtate?lately in rebellion, and also for the speedy, admission-of these States into the Union on the basis of. the Constitutional Amendments adopted at the last session of Con? gress, and such additional provisions as the com? mittee might deem expedient. He believed that if the subject was committed to a discreet and judi? cious committee, whose first obj oct should bo to unite on some practical measure, the House would reaoh that rasuit which would command tho sup? port of its own members and of the country, and lite approval or at least thc assent of Hue Exec uti oe. Mr. RAYMOND added, in reply to a question : I have no hesitation in saying to the House that in my judgment a bill embracing these pro? visions, and passing this House with a proper spirit ' of unanimity, would ougage the assent of the Prasidont. That is my personal belief. This fully satisfies all the Conservativo Repub? licans, and the Evening Post, one of the leading organs of that wing of the party, says that Con? gress will assume a very grave responsibility in? deed if it does not drop everything else, and give tts closest attention to the perfecting-of such mea? sures, advising fully with the President at the same time, so as to ins uro his most hearty con? tient and co-operation. / In how far the details of the plan herc propos? ed, which, it v, ill be obs -rved from its general language, admits of great latitude, will provo pala? table to oar own section, it is of course impossible to say. There is a memorable reconciliation re? corded on the pages of sacred history, which, we hope, may not ad?mbrate events in the present :ose. We refer to the chapter where it is rolated that HEBOD and PILATE, enemies before, became friends on that day. Mr. BANKS introduced a scheme for reconstruc? tion in the shape of a bill on Saturday, which, it is thought, embodies the views which the Prosi-4 lent is ready to accept. This, we believe, is the aili that has since passed the House, and is mewn as the Louisiana Bill. Inasmuch as it Drobably ?B the pattern for the establishment of iimilar governments in all tho other Southern States, and therefore of ri tal interest to us, wo jive it entire for the information of our readers. I BILL TO PERFECT AND ESTABLISH THE GOVERN? MENT OF LOUISIANA. Whereas a form of government has been organ zed in Louisiana, one of the States lately in re? bellion, which government has nevor been recog? nized by Congress, and having failed to secure the ights of loyal citizens or protect the government tgainst disloyal persons, cannot now be recognized vithout peril to the public interest ; and whereas he condition of the country imperatively demands he earliest restoration to tho Union of this and ither insurgent States ; vid whereas there is just *eason to beiive that with such protection as the jeneral government may rightfully extend to the oyal people of Louisiana, they will be able to es? coban and maintain for themselves that equality )f rights aflh-mod by the Declaration of Indepen lence and guaranteed by the Constitution to a 1 the I t >eople of the United Statos forever. Therefore Be it enacted, &c., first. That a commission of bree members-ono membor of which shall bo lesignated by tho Sonate, one by the House ol' ?epresentatives, andan officer of the armv, to be lesignated by the head of the Department of War s hereby authorized and appointed, whose dutv it mall bo to proceed without delay to the State of liOuisiana and to take such measures as may be ?ecessary to complete and perfect political or? ganizations now existing, and to ro-eBtablish civil rovernment in a republican form upon the basis ?erein specified. Second.

[ualified to vote in any election field in pursuance I this act or under any government that hereafter lay be organised in Louisiana in pursuance of its ? ro visions; but nothing heroin contained shall be J 0D8trued to prohibit tho extension of the rierht of h uffrage by the Legislature of the State to other " itizeus than those herein described, except such s aro excludod by the provisions of thu third aec ion of this act. Third. No person who, having previously t ken n oath as a membor of Congress, or as an ol icer f tho United States, or as a member of any State .egislatnrc, or as an executive or judicial officer of ny Stato, to support tho Constitution or thc Quited States, shall have engaged in insurrection r rebellion against the same, or given aid or omfort to the enemies thereof, or who voted for ny pretended act of secession in any convention f any State, shall bo allowed to vote in anv pro eedings under this act, or to hold any oflice", civil r military, under any government which may be ramed and established in pursuance thereof; but ingress, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, my remove such disab?ity. lourth.

The military commander of tho district or department in which Louisiana is included is hereby authorized and directed, whenever, in bis judgment, or that of the commis? sioners or of tho convention, or upon the request of a number of loyal citizens, expressed in writing, it shall become necessary to protect the public peace or to maintain tho rights of loyal citizens, or to carry into effect the objects of this act, to de? clare martial law in said district or any part there? of, and lo tako such moasurosand to use such force as may bo within hie command, as may be required to preserve public peace ; and all public officers or perBons in authority, by whomsoever appointed, are hereby required to render to the said commisson ors and to officers elected in pursuance to orders given by them, such aid aa may be required or necoseaiy to secure the objects heroin contempla? ted.
