WASHINGTON, February 16.-Tho proceedings were scattering on Blaine's amendment. Many amendments were offered. The point on which the Republicans spilt is the Confederate vote; all favor blacks voting, but some seem to abhor the idea of disfranchising the whites and placing the States at the mercy of the blacks. Others seem determined to disfranchise the Confederates as a punishment, others because they fear their influence and votes as dangerous to the country. Several motions to adjourn were negatived, and a proposition to vote at 12 o'clock to-night was rejected. The Senate finally adjourned without a vote or understanding. In the course of debate. Mr. Doolittle said the people of the South would not accept universal suffrage, but would prefer military rule. Mr. Wilson responded-" Make them accept it.' The Republican Senators were in caucus this y morning. Mr. Wilson introduced a bill declaring the Am endment ratified and a part of the Confu? tion. The Republican caucus appointed a committee of bevon, to combine Stevens' and Elliott's bills, to to apply to all Southern States. Two hundred and eighty farms, under the Home? stead Law, were reported from Florida during January. The Internal Revenue receipts for the week is $2,500,000 Henry S. Marie, who betrayed Surratt, is here. Nothing has been heard of Surratt. ? ia i? a long passage. Concurrent resolutions of the New York Legisla? ture approving the District of Columbia.Suffrage Bill were presented. The matter of 'an alleged corruption of members involving the- honor of the* j House, promising not to do certain things if the President changed his policy, embracing who the members were who carried the messages between them and the President, was referred to a select committee of three. Two and a quarter million j were appropriated for the revenue cutter service. A Bill to build light-houses at the following points waa passed : Braddock's Point, Ga.: Com bahee Bank, Ga.; Tybee Island Knob, Ga.; Morris Island, S. C.; St. Simons, Ga.; Wolf Island, Ga.; Sapelo Island, Ga. Four million eight hundred thousand dollars were appropriated for river and harbor improve? ments. The South only gets two hundred thou? sand for the improvement pf the mouth of the Mississippi. A Bill providing for a President in case of a vacancy was passed : First, pro tem. President of the Senate, then Speaker, then Supreme Judge succeeds. X The Senate insisted on: its amendment to the Bankrupt Bul, and asked for a committee of con? ference. Mr. Stevens' Bill was resumed. v- I Mr. Doolittle said it was a declaration of .war against ten States. He closed his speech at half past four. Mr. Saulsbury took the floor, when the Senate took a recess. LATER. ? FEBRUARY. 17.-Sherman's substitute was passed at 6i o'clock this morning by ? vote of 29 to 10. This is substantially the samo as Blaine's amend? ment. The Texas attorneys have commenced proceed? ings against White, Taohites, Vandarbarg and others for $100,00/ worth? or Texas indemnity bonds, obtained on unfulfilled and alleged unlaw? ful contracts made during the rebellion. The Secretary of the Treasury has been notified of pro? ceedings. The payment of the bonds has been stopped pending tuc suit by order of the Court. The case involves several nice political questions, and tile Bill will meet a serious opposition in the House. Several Republicans, including Stevens and Brandege, are reported to be indignant that the President should appoint officers, approve death sentences, and the Federal Courts should be allowed to issufi habeas corpus. The friends of the measure apprehend a veto, and bolters de? feat the entire measure. Three Senators voted to-day on the motion to substitute Sherman's amendment, viz: Sauls bury, Buckalow and Davis. An amendment that all punishment under Sher? man's substitute be according to law was defeated ' y a vote of eight to twenty-nine. ... fc, Sherman's substitute in the preamble 1s similar T to Stevens', only the President instead of the Gen? eral appoints the officers. Sentences of death re? quire the Presidential approval, and the habeas corpus not to be suspended; beyond all interfer? ence of State authority with military authority, nullified. SECTION 5th. When any rebel State forms a Con? stitution in conformity to the Constitution of the United States, framed by a convention of dele- i, gates, elected by male citizens twenty-one years ' old without regard to race, color or previous oos oition, resident in the State ' for one year, except persons disfranchised by participation in the re? bellion or by felony; when the Constitution pro? vides that the elective franchise be enjoyed by all Sirsons qualified as delegates; when tho Consti tion, ratified by a majority of electors who have elected the delegates, shall be submitted to Con? gress and approved; when said State Legislature, elected under the . said Constitution, adopts-the Constitutional Amendmant, and. said Amendment Incomes part of the .National'-Constitution-said States shaft be declared to be entitled to rene- 11 sentation, and Senators and Representatives there? from sholl be admitted on taking the oath pre? scribed by law. General News. NEW YOBS, February 16.-In the Supreme Court in Chambers, yesterday, the ease of George Olney, Captain of the steamer Washington, having come, up on application for his discharg? on a writ of habeas corpus^ the petitioner's counsel contended that the requisition of Governor Pierpont was in? valid, on the ground that there was no such State as Virginia in the Union recognized by the Fede I ral Government, or Senate, as such; that Governor Pierpont had been appointed Governor by tht President, who had no right to make such appoint? ment; that the Governor of New York had no legal authority to expatriate a citizen on the requisition of Governor Pierpont, and that we have no treaty with Virginia for that purpose. He signified his intention of traversing the return to the writ, and the hearing of the case was set down for this morning at 10 o'clock. Olney was arrested on the requisition of Gover? nor Pierpont, charged with running off a vessel un? der attach, .ant for debt. The proceedings in this case are looked for with intense interest, as. bringing a vital question squarely before the Supreme Court. By the Corsica we have Havana dates of the 9th.

The following is a copy of the Bill reported from the Joint Committee on Reconstruction by Hon THADDEUS STEVENS, as it passed the House of Re? presentatives on Wednesday: A BILL TO PBOViltE FOB THE MORE EFFICIENT GOV EBNMENT OF THE INSURRECTIONARY STATES. Whereas the pretended State Governments of the late so-called Confederate States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Texas and Arkansas, were set np without the authority of Congress and without the sanction of the people: and whereas said pretended governments afford no adequate protection for hie or property, but countenance and encourage lawlessness and crime; and whereas it is necessary that peace and good order should be enforced in said so-called States until loyal a~d Republican State governments can be legally es? tablished; therefore, Be it enacted by tho Senate and House of Repre sentatives of the United States of America in Con greBS assembled, That said late so-called Con? federate States shall be divided into military dis? tricts and made subjeot to the military authority of the United States as hereinafter prescribed, and for that purpose Virginia shall constitute the first district; North Carolina and South Carolina the second district ; Georgia, Alabama and Florida the third district: Mississippi and Arkansas the fourth district, and Louisiana and Texas the fifth district. SEO. 2. And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the General of the army to assign to the command of each of said districts an officer of the army, not below the rank of Brigadier-Gene? ral, and to detail a sufficient military force to en? able such officer to perform his duties and enforce hie authority in the district, to which he is as signed. BEC; 3. And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of each officer assigned as aforesaid to protect all persons in their rights of person and property, to suppress insurrection, disorder and violence, and to punish, or cause to be punished, all disturbers of the public peace and criminals, and to this end he may allow local civil tribunals to take jurisdiction of and to try offenders, or when in bis judgment it may be necessary for the trial of offenders, he shall have power to organize military commissions or tribunals for that purpose, anything in the Constitution and laws of any. of the so-called Confederate States to the contrary not? withstanding; and all legislative or judicial pro? ceedings or processes to prevent or control the proceedings or said military tribunals, and all in? terference by said pretended State Governments with the exercise of military authority under this Act, shall be void and of no effect. SEO. 4. And be it further enacted, That courts and judicial officers of the United States shall not issue wilts of habeas corpus in behalf of persons in military custody, except in cases in which the person is ireld to answer for a crime or crimes ex? clusively within the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States within the said military district, and indictable therein, or unless some commis? sioned officer on duty in the district wherein the person is detained shall endorse upon said petition a statement certifying upon honour that he has knowledge or information as to the cause and cir? cumstances of the alleged detention, and that he be? hoves the same to be wrongful; and further, that' he believes that the endorsed petition is preferred in good faith and in furtherance of justice, and not to hinder or delay the punishment of crime. All persons put under military arrest by virtue of this act, shall be tried without unnecessary de? lay, and no cruel or unusual punishment shall be inflicted. SEC. 5. And be it further enacted, That no sen? tence of any military commission or tribunal hereby authorized,. affecting the life br liberty of any person, shall be executed until it is approved by the officer in command of tho district; and the laws and regulations for the government of the army shall not be affected by this act except ia so far as they conflict with its provisions. Tbe Executive and Congress. POLITICAL CAUCUSES AND CONVEBBATIONS FOB HAB MON?-^-THE BADXOALS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TBOUBLE. r . .* - \pprre&mdawe Baltimore Sun.] Wi?stoc^/Febniary 15.-There aro various and conflicting- rumors in the newspapers of to-day of. caucus meetings of Republican members, and of conferences between them and tho President looking to a mutual understanding and the har? monious co-operation of the legislative and execu? tive branches of the Government. Np caucus proper has been held, but it is true, nevertheless, that there have been informal con? versational meetings of the Republican members for the" purpose above indicated. Many of these members; haye, in the meantime, called upon Mr. Johnson, whom they found to be, like themselves, ready and anxious to: compare views, and come to some agreement whereby confidence and respect shall be restored in and for each other, and where? by they can sincerely work together in the matter or restoring the Southern, States to their proper relations in the Union, and eBtabUshing law and order, and providing for the protection of all the people alike in the South. I have not, heretofore, felt authorized to refer to these facts, aod am not at liberty at this mo? ment to give tue details of the common grounds upon which thc Congressmen and the President have discovered they can co-operate fuTy; but it is satisfactorily established that the legislative and ?xecutiv? branches can move harmoniously to? ge! her hereafter, if the extremo Radicals shall not prevail in their efforts, now industriously prosecu? ted, to doter members of both Houses from any re? conciliation whatever betweon the latter and Mr. Johnson.. . The conf?rences have disclosed the fact that nuoh if not all tile acrimony and working at cross imposes between the Executive and Congress ivould never have occurred probably, had the Re? publican members regularly visited and conferred flit h Mr. Johnson. .RAISE PROVISIONS.-The New Orleans Picayune, in remarking upon the policy of devoting less at? tention to the cultivation of cotton and more to Lhe raising of provisions, says: In the name of common sense let our planting people grow their own corn, and make their own bread and meat. Do this first, and give up the ex? ploded idea that "cotton is king." And when homo ?rants are suppled then grow cotton, and the sountry will grow richer. If the whole South could be induced to adopt a self-sustaining policy by making their own rood md raiment, and give the balance of their time to ixe culture of cotton, no people on earth would be is rich as we would soon be. A season is past, and another crop of cotton has seen added to the. records; but as far ae its visible affects can.be seen on the wealth of tho Southern sountry. it had as well not have been made. A nillion bales have been counted, worth a hundred niUions of dollars. But it has gone-gone glim nering to help other people, and enrich other lockets. .There is nothing left of it. No more noney is in the South than before it was gathered, ?ome may ask, where is it ? We point them to the inge heaps of freight and produce daily landed at the wharf, and which, the moment they touch the shore, are wheeled away to the railroads and coast steamers to feed the farming people. BREAD RIOTS IN ENGLAND,-Late English mails bring particulars of the bread riotB that occurred in Deptford on the 23d ult. A vast number of laboring men and citizens, who had beon thrown out of employment by the severe weather, assem? bled to demand bread from the relieving officers of the parish. Tickets were distributed as rapidly as possible, but the crowd became so clamorous that it was impossible to satisfy them, and they broke into and ransacked a baker's shop in the neighborhood. Proceeding in a riotouB proces? sion, they pillaged successively all the bakers' shops that came in their way, until stayed by the arrival of a strong body of police. Such occurrences among a class generally orderly and well-behaved indicates an extremity of want pitiful to contem? plate. In many parts of England tho same dis? tress exists, and there is no prospect of immediate relief. Destitution so wide-spread is beyond the reach of ordinary measures of charity, and the Government will probably take some action for the abatement of the evil. SHOCKING DISTBESS IN NEWFOUNDLAND.-Tho last mail brings the most deplorable account of dis? ease and destitution in the island of Newfoundland. In St. John's, scarlet fever of a moat malignant type is sweeping off families, young and old-the extra? ordinary mildness of the weather there seemingly aiding the fearful ravages of tho disease. In other districts, owing to the partial failure of the fishery, and the almost entire loss of the potato crop by rot, an amount of destitution prevails scarcely credible, did we not have the testimony of an eye-witness. A letter to a gentleman in Boston says : Never did I witness such Bcencs as I have Bince I came on this circuit on the Southern shores of Trinity Bay. On New Year's day I visited a "tilt," or cabin-it was a wretched hovel, covered with rinds and sods, and one side of the hovel was loaded -with stonoa to keep it from blowing away. With difficulty I pushed open the door. Stretched out upon the boro earth (for there was no floor) was a man, about fifty years of age; his only covering consisted of a piece of oil cloth jacket and a strip of dirty canvas. He appeared to be in a dying condition, bitting by him on a tub was his wife, her only garment being a portion of a bread bag over her shoulders, holding in her arms an almost naked babe. Two other children, in an equally wretched state, were cowering over the embers in the fireplace. They had not eaten a morsel since the previous day. The house con? sisted of but one room, which was entirely desti? tute of furniture-no beds or blankets; no chairs or cooking utensils-absolutely nothing but two kettles. Corn meal and molasses are doled out by the Government, but oven this is diminishing rapidly, while paupers aro as rapidly increasing. MASONIC BANQUET. It being understood among the Masonic Frater? nity of Charleston that certain delegates from Brethren representing the Lodges of the Cities of Washington and Baltimore, had reached our State, bringing gifts of value' to the ruined Lodges of Columbia, a number of the Biethren here made preparations for giving them such a receptien as should be worthy of the fraternity. ThiB, with the facile and ready resources of Mr. PURCELL, of the Milln House, was easy to be done. According? ly the Brethren delegates and visitors were met at the cars, on Saturday, on reaching the city from Columbia, and were ushered to the grateful hos? pitalities of the Milk House. They were officially .introduced to the Grand Secretary by a letter from M. W. Grand Master OBB, and by the G. S. to the Brethren generally, from whom they had a hearty and most fraternal welcome. Night had just set in when the banquet was de? clared ready for the distinguished delegation, and they were severally announced, as follows: John P. Hamlin, Lebanon Lodge, No. 7, Wash? ington, D. C. James F. Gedney, Lebanon Lodge, No. 7, Wash? ington, D. C. Chan. Stewart, Lebanon Lodge, No. 7, Washing? ton, D. C. Geo. Goodall, Lafayette Lodge, No. 19, Washing? ton, D. C. Henry Birch, Hiram Lodge, No. 10, Washington, D. C. M. L. Merrill, Washington Centenial Lodge, No. 14, Washington, D. C. Mark J. Cornell, Center Lodge, No. 108, Balti? more, Md. The table was happily arranged and sumptuous? ly spread with all the delicacies of the city and the season. P. G. M. Hon. HENEY BUIST presided in tho East; the West was fitly filled by our excellent and honored Brother, Dep. G. M. JAMES CONNEB; the South was occupied by G. H. Priest ROBERT S. BBUNS, and opposite to him presided the G. T. H. W. SOHBODEB. The honorable guests were duly placed in propinquity with these several officers, md the business of the banquet was legitimately : pened by a very general demolition of the appe? tizing viands spread before the company. The feast of comfits and the flow of wine soon prepared the company for the inception of that sublimer food which belongs to the feast of reason and the 10 w of soul; and, at the due stroke of the gavel, ;he presidin^fficer in the East broke ground in a irarm speech of welcome to the visitors, earnest, forcible and grateful, aa is the characteristic of the honorable gentleman's speeches in general. He :oncluded his speech, which was received with lusty cheers, with the following sentiment : iii Our Masonic Fraternity throughout the Unit id States- One welcome of brotherhood to them di may be conceived from that which we now give sith heart and hand to our guests to-night. To this a brief, modest, but manly reply, was nade by one of the delegates, to which Bro. R. W. SEYMOUR responded promptly in his usual felici? tous and appropriate manner. The second regular toast was given from the Jhair in the East as follows : 2. The Grand bodge of the Slate oj' Soutli Caro? ma A very general call of the assembly for the x. D. in the West brought up that officer, who re-: ?ponded in a graceful, thoughtful, and very im >resBive reply, singularly applicable to the occa (ion and the subject. The third sentiment was especially dedicated to he guests. ixi'Zl?! .VT. . 3. Our Brethren representing tho Fraternity rom our Sister Lodges of Washington and Balti nore. 4. The Temple and its Priesthood To this sentiment the G. H. P. BRUNS made a iriof but appropriate response, concluding with he following sentiment : TJte Temple made reith Sands-In all Masonic ands, type of the Eternal Will, that gave its great ommands; type of that Temple still, that still 'temal stands, high on the Heavenly hill, made ty no human hands. 5. The prosperity of all Lodge? in good standing, oitti honest working and overflowing treasuries. To this toast, the Grand Treasurer replied, with' aagiBterial dignity and the grace of a Treatmrer rho is conscious that his coners are full, and that ns defaulting members are few. He concluded nth the following sentiment : The Greater and Lesser LvjlUs of Masonry : vpes of those Grand Luminaries which make our ay a glory and our night a beauty ; may they urn with as benign an influence for us, as their randor models burn for the blessing of a world. Law, which represents society and civilization, .nd is the best security for both-In the subversion r the overthrow of Law, society loses all that is recious, and civilization forfeits all the inherit nee of past generations. To this Brother F. A. SAWYER replied very hap ily, and in the following toast corollary appealed j Colonel THOMAS Y. SIMONS for a response. By F. A. SAWYER The Civil and the Common Law-The adjust lent and adaptation of the laws of God to the antB of man in civil society. As Masonry teaches aoso laws in impressive, symbolic language, the oed lawyer is the better one for being a good [ason. To this call Colonel SJMONB responded impres ively, condensing his answer happily, on so co ious a subject, into a brief but lucid speech. He on duded with the following sentiment: Masonic Law.-The standard guardian of a rue liberty, civilization and fraternity. It has ts origin in "that truth whose seat is in the bosom f God," and which has remained unshaken amid 11 ages and climes. The regular toasts, seven in number, having een regularly dispatched, the brethren, attround, rere permitted the free play of speech and senti aent, and very happy, indeed, did they prove hemselves in beth. We have not been able to Be? are copies of all the toasts given; but those which allow will suffice to illustrate the grace, harmony nd excellent fellowship which prevailed through ut the feast. By W. A. COURTENAY Tlie East-Whence came the Light-the West, -hick receives it-the South, which enjoys it. lave we not a shrine for each in the temple, and nth every breeze that blows, do we not find some -.elcome song, that preludes the daily birth of ight. BY ZIMMERMAN DAVIS Charity-That self-renovating fountain, which jives out its refresh ng waters as fast ?s they ac? um?late. Twice blessed, as blessing him who fives, and him who takes. Its waters find their lources in the eternal springs of Heaven. Col. SEYMOUR by a pleasant play of words, allud ug to the Arch-?ngel MICHAEL, called up W. E. iliKEi^L, Esq., who, admitting himseif io be a nember of the Arch, disclaimed the special refer? m?e to himself, and referred the toast of Col. SEY? MOUR to its proper proprietor in the person of Dr. [SAAC W. ANGEL. Mr. MTKELL continued his speech in a happy strain throughout, making, in 'act, one of the most successful speeches of the woning, concluding with the following expressive sentiment : The Ineffable Name /-Adorable beyond all speech-unapproachable in majesty, but accessi? ble to the heart utterances, in which Love renders itself in into Faith, and bows secure and confident bo a Will which tempers Justice with Mercy, and ?eeks only to rule through Love. The reference to Dr. ANGEL necessarily called up that gentleman, who responded in the following sentiment. By J. W. ANGEL, Master of Landmark Lodge, No. 76: Masonry, the Great Mollie)' of us all.-May she so extend her benign influence over the wide uni? verse, that we shall know no E^st, no South, no West, no North; but, tried by the proper standards, may we be found by the Omnipotent the perfect Ashlar, indeed, fit tb becomo a part of the Grand Celestial Lodge on High, where the Omnipotent shall preside through all eternity. By-: Tie Blind, but Honest and Hopeful Laborer. Whose blindness is couched in the Medicine Lodge of Humanity by the loving fingers of art. ?rtcient Croft Masonry-Coexistent with the temple, coexistent with the world, its banners cover men of every nation, and it summons to its altara the disciples of every faith. By C. C. NEILL Fidelity-The Masonic ideal of what is worthy and truthful in love, in man and woman. Several songs were sung, during the progress of the feast, Colonel SEYMOUR'S being sufficiently dul? cot, somewhat pathetic, and always effective. Among thc singers was Captain C. E. CHICHESTER, who gave us thc song of tho "Entered Apprentice" with thc happiest eflect. By Col. E. S. DURYEA The Benign Influences of Masonry-The saving, succoring, humane and charitable-never more essentially necessary in the cause of humanity than now-, when madness seems to prevail through all tho world of Christendom. Col. DUB YEA enforced this beautiful sentiment, so characteristic of masonry, in a flowing and com? prehensive speech, which commanded the earnest atteention of the audience. By Bro. We welcome the weary wanderer to the Lodges of light and succor,with the Good Samaratin at tho entrance, and the inexhaustible cruse of the widow to nourish and sustain. By Col. E. W. SBTMOUB: George Washington-The true apostle of liberty -above self;-dedicated to bis country; a noble ma? son; the man over all, the first in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen. We rc'gret that so many of tho excellent toasts of modest brethren have escaped our learch, but trust that enough has been shown of the proceed? ings to justify our gue?tB on their return home, in bearing evidence to the becoming sentiment of the masonic brethren in South Carolina, showing their faithful working, their seal in the cause, and that deep felt earnest philanthropy which, disre? garding place or section, State and country, recog? nizes above all, the bonds of an universal brother? hood. And, so forever mote it be I Amen I Our Washington letter. " [SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DAILY NEWS.] LOITERERS ABOUT THE CAPITAL. WASHINGTON, February 13.-There has beena remarkable influx of visitors at the capital the winter through, and at no time more* conspicuous or in*'-greater force than now. Two things have, undoubtedly, been the leading inducements of this1 honor from abroad-one in the fact that the sensa? tionalized correspondence of a score pf leading Northern journals establishes, as it is perused in families and over the matutinal coffee, the idea that Washington is the continuous scene of great political intrigues, always discovered to the world and the opposition just before the hour fixed upon for the grund coup de main. Society immediately jumps at this presentment of the case, and re? solves that where there is so much plotting and counter-plotting, the beau monde should not be without representation-and 'down to Washington1 forthwith comes the delegates of fashion, in ones, twos and squads, afi athirst for the promised ex? citement, and wining to add fuel to the flame wheresoever opportunity offers. I am guilty of no exaggeration when I assure yon that a more bril? liant concourse of opulent idlers, from salons of fashion the country over, with not a few of their titled cousins from across "the pond," cannot be found congregated in any ono city in the Union than such as ?B now gathered in daily attendance upon the debates of Congress. They put up at and take possession of our hotels, and play the grandees until the town-folk and tho, common habitues of Congress are quite* distressed in the realization that their plumage, either BB leaders of Washing? ton ton or the representation of official notability, is quite overshadowed and forgotten. Between 12 and 1 o'clock each day these people are charioted to the capitol; for jin hour or two saunter about the rotunda and in through the galleries of either House. Thence they wend their way to receptions of officials advertised for that day, ind finally be? take themselves to dinner ar,d the'intricacies olf an evening toilet for some one of the many balls, routs, dining affairs continually on the (apis. To the capitol they go, garbed in the latest Parisian jauntinesa, exhuberant in spirit, and, AS far as the weaker vessels are concerned, determined to mako a conquest and "spoon" of every unwary, moder? ately-aged member that may come in their, way or chance to dir ec this gaze towards their conspicu? ous places in the ga?teri?s over his head. And the win of the iiTesistible^ureBttires is not often crossed in this respect. Toa may note, during; their seductive scrutiny of national legislatio-s," that ecoroB of-Congressman, attracted by the love? liness fbi it looks down upon their incomprehensible endeavors, are continually absenting themselves, from the Representative Chamber .only to turn; up a moment later for introduction to the' enchantress and her sister irresistibles.. Under such charming influences it is scarcely to be won? dered at that the House ofter finds itself without a quorum, while it galleries represent nearly the foll Representative L dy. It should be understood by the country, also, t> si full one-half of the ora? tory now drawn out L euch volume upon every subject that may arise in thc House ia attributable, in great part, to the desire of members to parade their eloquence before the aforesaid occupants of the galleries. I need not say that all this is de? moralizing, and that under such a sway, Boft, gushing and entrancing though it be, the minds of members at large ia' more given to white cravats and "swallow tails" than to any one of the ques? tions over which they talk so much, and examine so little. . * . - OUR CIT? COUSINS CUTTING ANOTHER FIGURE. Of course the .advent of such a multitude of fash? ion loaders from other spheres of the beau monde, has a more or less agitating and enlivening effect apon tho "head centres" of social jollification hereabout. The "locals" vie with each other in extending " the freedom of the city," and the hos? pitality bf their consequences are discoverable in the bits of Bristol board, and with tinted envelopes continually on the wing, bearing the compliments of Mi-lord and Mi-lady, and,the usual " at :hom o'' for- a ?e?nitedato or-Berle's;'?? And then'follow the brilliance and sparkle of these entertainments in such rapid succession, that they represent Berne Bort of social pyrotechnics that bring out every one to note the display, and in which those fragile little moths of upper-tendom are constantly scorch? ing their gossamer wings. The supervision and control of these drawing-room fireworks has been thus far in such unexceptionably able hands as those of Senators MORGAN, REVERD',;: JOHNSON, SPBAGUE, and Congressmen DOBOE. In this little coterie is represented millions of treasure, in exoosB perhaps of " the pile" of any similar number of gentlemen that can be taken from either House. Each one of them maintain magnificent establishments, and Uve royally. Their respective entertainments overshadow in coat and perfection anything hith? erto attempted hi the Capital, and even how remain a day's source of wonderment to every fashionable denizen in the District. Here again, the good peo? ple from abroad shown resplendent, and crowned the triumph of the feast. Not merely in numbers was this distinction acquired, but in superb toile ta strewn with jewels beyond price,, and whose every shred came "from beyond the seas." THE "LITTLE HARMLESS GOSSIP" THAT GB0W8 OUT OF ALL THIS FUBOBE. Of course, under the circumstances, gossip and bon mots, something on the Parisian order, are as plenty and entertaining as possible. One of the prevailing "rages" among the beautyhood of Washington is in a mad and most demonstrable endeavor to marry foreigners. The marriageble portion of the sex, with not a few who have enter? ed the sacred compact, are in one grand scramble to entoil everything in the similitude of imported manhood. The several foreign legations are besieged and smothered in the sighs that come from our domes? tic femininity. The latter is continually indulging in the audible plea of Desdemona, "would kind Heaven have made her such a man" as one of these sharp-booted, bob-tail-coated, immaculately-glov? ed whiBkorandoes, who strut a brief season in the Capital and then are seen no more forev?r. Tho matia, I am inclined to think, is induced by the fact that several of the Foreign Munsters, Marquis MANTHOLON, Baron GEBOLT, Count BODISCO, and a number of attach?es, have, in former years, when quietly left to note the incomparable bloom and perfection of American women, led to the altar Bomeof the loveliest (though by no means the beBt born) daughters of the District of Columbia. Indeed it is quite the thing, under the present regime, for young ladies to throw off the ordinary and commendable prudishness of the sex. Not a day goes by that you do not see thc gay, dashing, and nearly unintelligible attaches of the several legations figuring at the opera, theatre, or bowling along some fashionable drive, always chaperoned by a lady, and receiving, not administering, the civilities of the situation. Dowagers who have finally disposed of then? marriageable stock, shake their ponderous head? dresses in well-timed exce >tion to the general laxi? ty of etiquette now in vogue, but those wide awake, ambitious heads of families who have determined to marry SABAH JANE to a "prince," even though he be in danger of transformation toa "gardener's son," consider the risk and bold their maternal breaths in anxiety for the result. Occasionally some proud little beauty ia brought to grief and temporary retirement from the hunt, because of a manifest jilt, or an escapade, just shaded with girl? ish indiscretion. But in the main, such casualties are not over many, considering the gauntlet run, and the few that are wounded soon come to the surface in as good heart and pluck as at tho out? set. ___ "VIDEX. PB0?BE83 AND PROSPERITY OF CALIFORNIA. There are now about 4,000,000 acres of land enclos? ed in California, and about 1,7:59,000 under cultiva? tion. These are far larger aroa* of occupied and improved land than were over before reported. Three years ago the amount of land under cultiva? tion was only 1,197,984 acres. MoBt of the increase since waa made last year. A considerable portion of it was in the larger mining counties, which are beginning to claim importance as fruit and wine? growing districts. Thc area planted to wheat was about 500,000 acree, a gain ot 200.000 acres in three years. The yield waa 12,000.000 bushels, or 7,000, 000 more than in 1863. The barley crop alBO shows a great increase. In 1863 it was about 4,000,000 bushels in twenty-four counties, including all but three or four of the strictly agricultural counties. This year it is roturned at over 14,000.00 bushels in forty counties. MARRIED. At Florence, a. C., on Thursday morning, l?h instant, by the Rev. 0. A. STILES, JAMES P.

S. C. TURNER, H. M. Harbor Master's Office, Charleston, February 6, 1860. February 7 Oin, a as Remedial Agent. GIN, AS A REMEDIAL AGENT, HAS BEEN IN FA? VOR with the profession for a ;ery long period, but owing to the difficulty of obtaining i pure article, it has fallen into disuse in many sections of the country, much to the regret of medical men, who consider lt almost a specific in very many diseases. For all cases of Gravel, pure Gin, if administered under professional guidance, will certainly work a cure; and if taken as a preventive, acting, as it does, on the sensitive membranes, it cleanses the parts BO as to remove all possible sediment Admin? istered in the same way, it will prevent the formation of Calculi, and do away with those terrible operations, therefore, so necessary for their permanent removal. Oin ls of incalculable benefit to females in those diseases so peculiar to the sex, and from its tonic, as weU as its anodyne properties, it is frequently superior to iron, bark, or even the electrical remedies. In cases of a posi? tive tendency to Phthisis, or Consumption, Gin, in proper quantities, by supplying or filling up the constant dying out of the natural fire of the system, wul often entirely ward oil that awful disease, which carries off one-eighth of the population of the United Slates annually. Pure Oin has this peculiar advantage over other diffusible stimuli, that it exhilarates without creating any thirst of an unhealthy character, it soothes while it also excites, and is a powerful nervine as well as an active tonic. "J8IMJV GER'S OLD LONDON DOCK GIN posseses aU the qualities that can be desired for the high? est and noblest use of all wines or liquors. Its ingre? dients are the distilled juieCR of carefully selected grains, made delicately pungent and fiavorous with the aromatic tincture of the Jumper Berry. Agc has mellowed aU these mingled aromas, and given an exquisite mildness a smooth, oUy body-and au almost floral odor to the Uquor, which renders it delicious to the senses, of smell and taste alike, while its sparkling liquid purity leaves nothing for the eye to desire. "The writer must remark that Messrs. A M. BIOTNGEE 4 Co. merit the gratitude of the entire medical profes sion,.as weU as the world at large, for having introduced a stimulant ; f such unexceptionable purity and unequivo? cal power, b'jth as a preventive and curative agent, and a harmless exhilarative beverage."-Chemical Journal and i Medical Gazette, tul mCmos January 29 _SHIPPING. 4.-FS TO BAIL TUESDAY, 19TH INST. dDQnPOBNEW YORK-MEBCHANT'S LINE.-The ?J^Fafavorite Packet Schooner LILLY, B.
