[As there are fifty-four Senators, thirty must have voted aye.] The Legislative Appropriation Bill passed. A conference was asked on naval appropriations HOUSE. MAB CH 2.-The House proceedings were not generally interesting until the reception of the message at 2 o'clock. The galleries were jammed. *- The President says, in effect, that he has examined } the Bill to provide a more officient government for the rebel States with that care which its'transcend? ant importance awakens, and finds himself unable to give it his assent for reasons so grave he hones the mere statement thereof will be sufficient to in? fluence patriotic and enlightened men. The Bill places ten States under military rulers, and, in this respect, combats the preamble. His informa? tion shows the people united in reorganize sr their governments on a basis of peace. The face of the Bill shows its object is not peace. Af'.-, r the States shall adopt measures so notoriously objectionable, representation is allowed thom , without reference to security of life ox prop perty. The preamble's excuse for tue Bill is ad? mitted by the Bill to be false. Military mle is established not for the prevention of crime but for Re enforcement and adoption of odious laws. The measure, in character, scope and object, is without precedent or authority-palpably in conflict with the Constitution, and des tractive of blood-bought liberty. The power given a Brigadier-General is that of an absolute monarch-his will is law-he determines the rights of person and property disposes of lands and goods within his district makes his own criminal code-everything is crimi? nal which he denominates crime-every person guilty whom he condemns-he keeps no record needs make no report-he can even break np courts and make judges and jurors criminals. His military courts are of his own making, and its offi? cers from his subordinates. ' Instead of mitigating the harshness of single rule, such courts woola divide the responsibility, malting it more cruel and unjust. Several provisions, dictated by humanity, might have been introduced into the Bill to re? strain the officer, and made imperative. Eaoh officer may define cruelty according to his own temper. Gag, the lash or ball and ohain he within > his choice. The military commander, under the provisions of this Bill, may condemn to death with? out trial, thus avoiding Executive sanction. The authority given to the officer, amounting to ab? solute despotism, is aggravated by his power to delegate* despotism to his subordinates the Bill declaring he shall punish or cause to be punished. This power has been denied the English Kin ge for five hundred years. In all time that people speaking the English language, have borne no such servitude. It reduces the population of ten States (regardless of color, sex or condition, and strangers within their limits) to objecte of de? grading slavery. It may be answered, the officers, are jus? and humane. Doubtless they are equally so with other classes, but the history of tho world is written vainly if it fails to show the danger of unrestrained authority. It was almost invariably tyrannical when thc ruler was a stranger appoint? ed by an unfriendly power. It was tried in Hungary and Poland, resulting in sufferings which aroused the sympathy of the world. In Ireland, though tempered by the principles of Eng? lish law, the Government is indignantly de? nounced for its cruelties. The French Convention succeeded in arming the deputies with simular powers and sent them to departments. Massacres, murders and atrocities followed. An irresponsible deputy never yields what law does not extort. Have we power to establish and carry this measure into exeoution ? We are certainly not de? riving such authority from ibe Constitution or acknowledging its limitations. The balance of the message consists of elaborate constitutional arguments, embracing copious ex? tracts. The Soeaker ruled that two-thirds could sus? pend the rules, rendering filibustoring outr of tho question. The Bill was then passed by 135 to 47. ?V" MARCH 8.-The compound interest note Bill, as amended by the Senate, passed the House. The member from Nebraska participated in yes? terday's voting. . .

The Judiciary Committee reported immediately After on the impeachment question, as they were instructed, when Mr. Ashley submitted facts sup forting his charges, saying that the Committee ad worked without intermission. The investiga? tion covers* broad ground, and has not approached completion- The evidence has been placed with ?the Clerk, for the use of the Committee of the next Congress. Sufficient evidence has been ' gathered to justify and demand further investiga? tion. It is rumored that the minority report says that all the proof had boen carefully examined, and that no evidence had been elicited sustaining the , charges, and considers that there are PO . grounds > whatever for an impeachment. It deprecates further investigation, saying that it tends to pro? duce unnecessary excitement in the country. The Judiciary Committee i sported that while {hey imputed no improper motives to the officers of the Government, they were constrained to say that due diligence was not exercised in arresting Surratt. j ..

MEDICAL COLLEGE OP SOUTH CARO? LINA. On Saturday morning last we had the pleasure of attending the Commencement of the Medical Col? lege of the State of Son th Carolina. The class was not as large as we were wont to see in Queen Btreet in former years ; but what it lackodr in numbers was more than counterbalanced by the excellent material of which it was composed. AB this is, however, adverted to in the address of the Dean, published bolow, we need say no more on the sub? ject at present. The Faculty were in attendance, also the Hon. EDWARD FBOST, President of the Board of Trus? tees, Hon. ALFRED HUGEE and Chancellor HENEY D. LESESNE, both members of the Board. Several members of the profession also were present. The Dean of the Faculty, Prof. J. J. CHTSOEM, opened the exercises, as follows : Mr. President and Gentlemen of ike Board of Trus? tees of the Medical College of the State of South Carolina: I take pleasure in bringing to your notice a num ber of gentlemen comprising the graduating class of 1867, whose attainments and deportment merit the decided approbation of tho Faculty of this Col? lege, luis institution, among the earnest endowed OE inis continent, has been in active operation for over forty years, and its alumni form a.very,large and highly respected t'ody of physicians, v h S not only enjoy in an eminent de .Tee the cenfidonoe and. esteem of their felicw-oitizens, but hold, many of the leading positionp in the profession ct the South. For many years back, the maV;ri 1 vhich has composed our clwseshas been jrworbi "Uv {rood, and in consequence the prof'jBSi'onal stand? ing of our eraduates.h as been mr avance oftbat of most medical schools From these halls have gone forth some of the brigkwsL medical minds of our country ; and yet we must in honesty state, that in devotion to study, in the laborious search after knowledge, in the extent of professional ac? quirements, in attention to the demands of society, in the observance of those mles so necessary for order, and in fact in all those elements which every where characterize the gentleman, this class hits never been excelled ; therefore I say it, sirs, that it is with pride and innate satisfaction that, in the name of all my colleagues, I offer this public testi? mony to then: unexceptionable conduct. Tho stringent finanoial condition of our country, and the great difficulty in procuring means wherewith to - enable students tb pursue their collegiate course, has brought to ns only such as with seri? ous intent had de ten.-'inc d to relax no energy until they had acquired a fund of medical lore. Tho midnight lamp has been a common companion to these gentlemen, and their well directed efforts, based upon a good foundation and sustained by assiduous and laborious study, havo well earned for them the well done of their teachers and friends. . I During the session which has now drawn to a close. 85 gentlemen attended lectures, and at its termination, 34 having fully complied with the re? quirements of the institution, presented them? selves before the Faculty for examination. ? Thirty one bf these were examined for the degree of Doc? tor in Me<h\une, two fora license'in Pharmacv, and one for a license to practice Medicine. It gives me pleasure to Btate that : they have all ac? quitted themselves to the satisfaction of tue Facul? ty. Although the standard of examination was of a higher order than in former years, many of the candidates, by their brilliant responses, gave evi? dence of superior attainments which are not often met with among members of a medical class, .-j From among a large number whose examina? tions were.so very flattering to many members of the Faculty, and who stood well in all of the de? partments of medicine, the Board haye had great difficulty in selecting a few names for meritorious notice. When they report the following gentlemen as having attained tho highest mark upon all the branches, viz : Mr. John B. Elliott, Mr. J. M. Mc Clanahan, Mr. Benj. M. Badger, Mr. H. W. De Saussure, Mr. A. Elsworth Fant, Mr. Jno. S. Hugh son,. Mr. T. A. Simons, and Mr. T. G. Simons, in the order in which they are read-they cast no im? putation, but on the contrary would also extol a number whose examinations have been far above the average of former classes, and who follow in the immediate wake of the gentlemen above named. It is now my duty, sirs, to introduce to you all of these gentlemen, who have acquitted thorn selves BO creditably, and to recommend that they receive.from the President of the Board of Trus? tees and Faculty of the Medical College of the State of'South Carolina,, the diploma, of the Col? lege, as an honorable token of their successful labor, and which instrument will entitle them to rank as physicians, with, all f i rights, privileges, and irmnunities appertainii o. regular practi? tioners cf the healing art. We greet you as co-laborers in the great work of relieving suffering humanity. After Dr. CBTSOLU had concluded his remarles, Judge FROST delivered the diplomas. The Degrse of Doctor of Medicine was conferrad by the President of the College on the following gentlemen: W. W. Patterson, Society Hill, Kershaw District, S. C, James F. Furman, Greenville, S. C. J. M. MoClanahan, Greenville, S. C. B. Clarke Nettles, Summerville, S. C. Bobt P. Miller, Chestefield District, S. C. Jno. T. Donaldson, Greenville, S. C. Charles W. Horsey, Charleston. M. B.

TL Spencer, Charleston, S. C., ana Albert Lucas, Charleston, S. C. The prize presented by the Faculty for the best mitten examination, and competed for by tho' graduates, was swarded to Dr. Jno. B. Elliott, of Savannah, Ga. Judge FBOST gave excellent advice, the result of wisdom and oxp3rience, to the gentlemen of the graduating class; after which, Dr. GEDDINGS de? livered the valedictory of the Faculty, m his usual earnest and eloquent manner. . After the speeches there was a pleasant re? union of the assembled company in the "Green Boom," where the Faculty had provided a colla? tion, which all seemed to enjoy very much. . After the Commencement exercises of the Medi? cal College had been concluded on Saturday, the graduates held a class-meeting, and adopted tho following preamble and resolutions, which had been prepared by a committee appointed at a pre? vious meeting : Whereas, being deeply impressed with tae value of the extended advantages which we have enjoyed during our connection, as students, with the Medi? cal College of the State of South Carolina, we, the graduates of the Class of 1866 and 1867, do here Resolve, 1. That to the Hon. Dean and Faculty we tender our sincere thanks for their unprece? dented exertions in our favor; their unvaried kind? ness and courtesy; their assiduous and untiring efforts in aiding and advancing our medical educa? tion; and for their profound! and invaluable in? structions and precepts. 2. That to the Professors of tho Supplementary Chairs we desire to express, in heartfelt terms, our high appreciation of their efforts in our behalf. Their earnest devotion, their unflagging zeal, and their generous self-sacrifices, shall by us be always remembered with sentiments ?f the warmest grati? tude. 3. That, ere parting, we deem it a duty which we owe to the young mon of the South who contem? plate the pursuit of the medical profession, to ex? press to them, thus publicly, the gre it estimation in which we hold this institution asa school of medicine. "The high order of talent by which its seyerai branchas are conducted, the completeness 0*tbe.course which its prospectusoffers, and the Jrjndnif^"**?1*interest with which us teachings are imparted, .make us earnest in recommending it as an mstitutit"* whyh offers every ^vantage to those who d?sir? thorough education. .i. That a copy of ?&ese resolutions be presented to the Faculty, and that they be respectfu iy re? quested to append the same to their next annual circular. . , , 5. That the proceedings of this meeting be pub? lished in the daily papers of this citv. W. Y. BB0OK?B, M. D., Chairman. M. B. HARRISON, M, D., Secretary. STATUE IN HONOR OF GENERAL SCOTT.-In thc United States Senate, Wednesday last, tho follow? ing proceedings occurred : Mr. "Wilson, of Massachusetts, called up a joint resolution, passed by the House at thc laat session directir?: the Secretary of War to contract for the erectionof an equestrian statue in bronze to the memory of General Winfield Scott, to be placed over his grave at West Point. It is to bo made by Henry K. Brown, of Newburg, N. Y., of cannon cap? tured" in the Mexioan war, and to cost not exceed? ing $20,000. . Mr. Grimes, of Iowa, moved to strike out the words "over his grave at West Pt int," and insert tho words "in Franklin Square, Washington Citv," but subsequently modifi?t it to read "in Franklin Square, or such other place as mav be designated by the Secretary of War." The amendment was agreed to, and (ho resolu? tion as amended was passed, and goes to the House f )T concurrence. CHARLESTON, Our Washington letter. [SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DAILY NEWS.-) HOW MATTERS STAND POLITICALLY. WASHINGTON, February 28 -Up to this writing mid-day-the President has not sent in his veto of the Southern Military Bill. That the Executive objections will bo surely forthcoming, no one in Congress seems to doubt. It is averred that many Democratic members have already had a sight at, und knowledge of, the tenor of the vetoing mes? sage, and havo come away from tho "White House reconciled to allowing Mr. JOHNSON'S demurrer to tho Bill to take its course toward tho. inevitable jver-rule of the majority. There is, however, one line of manouvre which iio Democrats refused to forego, despite the de? precation of his Excellency, and that encompassed n a deliberate purpose to filibuster in the House ?pon the passage of the Bill over the veto, should he return of the latter be delayed so late as Sat? urday next. In that event a continuous session mtil Monday noon and the end of the 39th Con? gress will surely take place, dilatory motions being he order night and day during the period that a .otc upon fie measure may be staved off until too ate. It may be that all this proposed line of action fill have fallen to the ground even before this let? er is posted, by reason of the reception of the veto a both Houses; ?but even should that event trans ire and take all the foregoing wind from my epis olary sail, I have yet in reserve a bit of cotempo aneouB history in reference to the Military' Bill, rhicb, though it ^aay never be verified by action hereon, should sh have a place in the-annals of ? longress?onal conspiracy. It is more than proba? te that should our minority Spartans endeavor to ispute the pass of the military measure, that a mp de etal will be perpetrate.- by the other side, duck, though unheard of in tho line of justifiable ?gislative craft, wifi, if attempted, succeed beyond peradventure. This revolutionary ides, will be pon the Speaker's own suggestion, as I happen ersonally to know, and therefore cannot fail if nee determinedly entertained. Tl ie plot, like all surpations, is of the simplest and most dishonor ble conception, and will be carried out as follows : uppose, on Saturday next, the veto having eon read in the House, immediate consideration' | f the same is asked, and likely to be deferred in efinitely by "filibustering" or dilatory motions pon the part of the Democrats. In the midst of ] his initiation of the process to postpone, a Radi? al .member -will raise a point of order upon the nnority's motion, and being overruled by the peaker, will thereupon appeal from the decision f the Chair, and by carrying the matter to an mu? ire- of his fellows, will bo sustained, and sb of ourse will hold the floor to put whatever motion i the interest of the Bill that he sees fit. Nothing f this character has ever been attempted in the louse in all tbe record of protracted exercise of arliamentary tactics to check or defeat legisla ion. Nor can it at this time be perpetrated with ut a prodigious outburst from the minority and a bonn of passion which I dislike to think of. I m minded in this regard of one or two former ccasions wherein it seemed that the Speaker rifled with the rights of the minority, and which voked from such of ita leaders as ELDRIDGE, LE ?LOND, and RANDALL, flashes of anger and protest 0 vehement and courageous that even his peakership, Mr. SCHUYLER COLFAX, quailed and re anted in almost the same moment and breath hat had pronounced the offensive ruling of tho ?hair. QUARRELLING OVER THE "BONE." The Senate grew very heated last evening while .c.ving under consideration the "Omnibus" Bill, as ; is called, or the Miscellaneous Appropriation (ill, as it really is. The clause that evoked tho iveli08t outburst of Radical indignation was that iori ding for the payment of those assessors and 01 lectors of internal revenue in the South whom ccretary MCCULLOCH had deemed it politic to ap oint, notwithstanding ttfioy could not subscribo to lie iron-clad oath. Both CHANDLER and SUMNER .axed loud and furious in their respective styles of ratorical impetuosity, but it was reserved for the inner to utter tho fiercest invective and make the bief "sensation" of the hour. CHANDLER was evi ently laboring under a white heat of an over-dose f the spirilttsfermenti, and blazed away until he ecame livid and quenohed for want of breath to rn the flame of his passion. What he said, being madman, it matters little. Suffice it that Seore iry MCCULLOCH was a villain-a "d-d villain" nd one whose abilities as to finance were rated so )w by the Senator that he could never be induced J gi ve" tho Treasury Minister the lowest place in is banking house in Detroit, supposing that the xrmer should become so reduced in pocket as to oed that slight consideration at the hands of the enator. " From the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. CHAND ER paid his disrespects to other gentlemen, od among them Hon. DANL. TOORHEES, whom it ill be remembered administered to CHANDLER a :>nnd drubbing during one of the early years of ie war, for some one of the latter's insulting com? iente upon VOORHEES' personal character. Going a to speak in this wise, he finally subsided ith the.insinuation that Mr. VOORHEES is a secret ?entpf the Treasury Department, and one of the Bcretarys closest adviser?. Setting aside tho fact, of which I am morally sure, lat a second castigation is in store for the reckless HANDLER, from the same hand thal flogged him Bforo, and that, having recovered from his tem orary and artificially stimulated courage, he ex? acts the repetition with no little fear and trem Ling. I have a word to add of the rejoinder to oth SUMNER and CHANDLER. FESSENDEN is by all odds the coolest debater, s well as the most implacable hater, that has a lace on the floor of the Senate. Nothing of hum ug himself, he despisos the immaculate Senator rom Massachusetts no less than the intemperate pooches of CHANDLER, and he addressed himself a the personality of each upon this occasion with ll tho sting that flows so readily from his lips, fho rebuke was administered in tones scarcely above he conversational, and yet penetrated to the very ore of CHANDLER'S befuddled faculties, and left dm amazed and chagrined with sudden fear that .unishinent would not stop hero. SOMNER, after n ineffectual effort to appear unconcerned and mile at his grief, Blunk by degrees into the re esses of his chair, and, with screened face, sat notionless. The whole scene was in perfect accord with the dea not long since advanced by a Southern editor, n analyzing tho status of Reconstruction, wherein he writer counted Congress os the dogs in tho nanger, with the impassive South being fought iver as the bone. However, the " bono" has won ?he day, this morning, so far as the appropriation n quostion was concerned-the Senatorial mastiffs laving abandoned tho scramble to despoil the Southern assossors and collectors of their pay, md left such barkers as CHANDLER and SUMNER to bemoan the result aa they please. Tho Radicals hereabout aro beginning to mani? fest alarm least SOBBATT should be released within tho next few days, by proving an alibi to the satis? faction of the sitting Judge. Their pretended ap? prehensions are coupled with hopes that the mili? tary will conclude to take tho prisoner under its keeping, with a view to tho institution of a mili? tary commission like that which convicted his mother. VIDEX. TERRIBLE CONFLAGRVTION-THE EXCHANGE HO? TEL IN ASHES.-The denizens of our city were aroused from their slumbers about three o'clock this morning by the loud and prolonged tolling of tho fire alarm bell. Hastily donning our habili? ments, wc followed the curient of citizens, which led us to tho Exchange Hotel. On arriving at that point we found that tho conflagration was confined to the rear portion of the building in the vicinity of thc kitchen, but owing to the fact that a liiprU March wind was prevailing, the flames rapidly spread to other portions of the building, lu les? than three hours there was nothing loft of tho vast pilo except tho chimneys, and heaps of ashes and coals. During thc conflagration the wildest excitement existed. Tho citizens generally repaired to the spot; the guests of tho hotel were seen rushing ft om the house with haste and in the greatest con? fusion, bearing in their hands personal effects, while others again had set about the work of re? moving the elegant furniture with which Mr. Blair had furnished tho establishment. But every effort was unavailing in almost every direction. A very inconsiderable portion of the contents of the hotel were rescued from tho flames; indeed, tho insurance policies will not be impaired in tho least. On the hotel there WHS insurance to the amount of $22,000-$15,000 on the main build? ing, $5000 on tho furniture, and $2000 on the print? ing office of the Methodist Episcopal. Our towns? man, P. F. Pescud, is the agent ol' the offices in which tho insurance had been effected-an assur? ance that all losses will bo promptly adjusted. [Raleigh Progress, March L 3. C., MONDAY MORNED Oiiir New Yorlc Letter. [FROM OUB BEG ULAH CORRESPONPENT. ] NEW YORK, Maroh 1.-Tne Spring has come npon na in a drenching rain, as though the floodgates of nature had opened to weep over the departure of old Winter, with its sleighing; its skating carnivals; its theatrical seasons; its balls and festivities; its icy and tm-icy sports. But though the cold weather is over; though sleighing is at an end; though skating iB n0 more, and tho balls at the ponds are down, yet do the un-icy festivities go on; tho Spring bids fair to rival the gayety of the Winter, and the balls are not over, for last night one took place that was the grandest of the sea? son. The Academy of Music was inaugurated last night by a magnificent ball,, given for the benefit of the widows and orphans of the members of the old volunteer fire department. The building has been fitted up in a style of gorgeous splendor that eclipses its former glory, and the scene at the ball was indescribably dazzling in its splendor. This affair was merely a Bomi-ofncial opening of the new op?ra house, but to-night is set apart for the regular official inauguration, and a bal (Popera will be given under the management ef such men as AUGUST BELMONT, LEONARD W. JEROME, and other leaders of the wealth and fashion of the great metropolis. Tickets admitting a. lady and gentleman are placed at ten dollars, with five dol? lars extra for each additional lady. On Thursday next the regular (or rather irregular) opera season begins, and will last for thirty nights. The com? pany that has been engaged by MAX MA BETZEE is composed of the best artistes that money could procure, and PAREPA, who has been engaged by the great opera chief, and is also en- ' gaged (to be married) to CARL EOS A, the violinist, 1 will be the chief centre of musical attraction. : ' We are informed by telegram that the execution ' of "Horace Greeley," the negro murderer, wil take place in Charleston to-day. WAGNER, the wife murderer, is to pay the penalty of his awful irime in t% jail-yard here this morning; perhaps : it the. s ami J hour and moment the negro's soul will be sent to its' last account. WAGNER'S crime is one ' at which nature revolts; ho had deliberately thrown ' bia wife upon the floor, and, kneeling on her back, struck her repeatedly upon the head with an axe till if o became extinct. Mrs. ' Dr, ELIZABETH BLACKWELL delivered a 1 rather able lecture last night on the medical cdu- ( :ation of the fair sex in Europe and America.. The . fair lee tuross contended-that women should be educated for the medical profession as well as the sterner sex, and announced that one hundred . thousand dollars are needed to establish a college ; 'or the purpose of carrying out her viewB. The ( inly disadvantage that can arise from ladies mini?- , taring to minds and bodies diseased is, that our pulses, when felt by fair hands, may possibly beat faster, even when no actual fever exists save that produced by the electric touch that oft enkindles a ? spark that naught but matrimony can extinguish, i md that even matrimony sometimes but fans into , i brighter blaze. The Fenian Committee met yesterday, but as ;he members thereof were pledged to secrecy, we are left in blissful ignorance as to their doings, except is regards the important fact that large donations . ?vere received. The Beeret convention, it is said, ? ?rill remain in session during theremainder of the < te eek, and there is no telling what great things it may or may not accomplish. i The comic muse has been introduced into tho i pulpit. Last night an exceedingly humorous lec? ture was delivered by a funny minister in Brook? lyn on "The placeares of house-hunting." The j man of God showed no quarter to the boarding - house ey* tem, and called upon his hearers to ssohew boarding houses and- go to house keeping regardless of high rents and the high price of living generally. A man named ABHWATT, who had been in the tiabifc of putting aa enemy in bis mouth to-?teal iway his brains, and found that the enemy, whose lam? wa? whiskey, wan ?ob sufficiently potent, jailed upon another enemy known as morphine, vhich settled the ?maineSB in the most expeditious nanner conceivable, for the morphine put him nto a sleep that knows no waking, and the man has gone to that bourne whence no traveller has ever .eturned save the respected parent of the melan sholy Dane. The people are anxiously waiting here to-day n tho rain-for the expected veto of President roHNSoN to the obnoxious Military Bill; not, how? ever, because they take much interest in the sub cot, but merely from curiosity to see how the mes? sage will be worded. The newsboys take the great ist interest in the affair, as they expect to reap a ich harvest of pennies in the salo of the evening lapers. The foot bridge over Broadway is nearly com? peted, the sides having been connected yesterday norning. DA a few days it will be finished, and ve will be enabled to walk over the heads of" the itage drivers and haokmen. At present, however, t is more difficult than ever to cross Broadway at .his point, on account of-the crowd of idlers con? gregated there to watch the work as it progresses. The Treasurer of the New York Ladies' South? am Belief Association announces that she is in re jeipt of funds to the. amount of nineteen thou? sand seven hundred and eighty-three dollars, vhich will be duly applied to tho relief of the UstresBed South; subscriptions keep pouring in, ind t?ie good werk goes on fiost bravely. The theatres are all making money on their own iccounts, and many of them are giving e^tcrtain nents for the benefit of tho destitute of the South.' MOULTRIE. The Policy of Virginia. Of the policy of the State of Virginia upon the Congressional plan of reconstruction, and of the present interest it is exciting in that Common? wealth, the Dispatch says : When the veto is sent in, and the Sherman bill is passer, the' question of the policy of this l?tate will be brought fully in front of us. There will be no disposition to retreat from or evade it. The Senate has already had it under consideration in Beeret soBsion. The occasion for the holding of this secret deliberation was tho receipt of several telegraph messages from members of Congress, in reply to one sent to them by Governor Pier? pont, propounding the question whether, if Virginia now adopted the Constitutional Amendment, she would be relieved of the Sher? man bill. They wero Messrs. Jleverdy Johnson and Fessenden ot the Senate, afld Meesrs. Spauld? ing and Bingham of. the House. AU save Mr. Bingham replied by telegraph, and he wrote a let? ter. Ali save Mr. Johnson responded in the nega? tive. Mr. Spaulding said it was too late. Slr. Johnson was m doubt, but thought the adoption of the amendment " would do a great deal of good." Mr. Bingham wrote s very earnest letter, urging the earliest action upon the Sherman bill, the adop? tion of all tho constitutional amendments required by it, and giving the most earnest assurances that when that was done, Virginia would be welcomed back to the Union by the Congress and the North? ern people, who were anxious to see her restored to her place among the States. The Senate diet not go into secret session for tho purpose of immediate action, but merely to in? terchange views in reference to the general welfare in the event of certain contingencies. Had Gov. Peirpont, however, gotten a different answer, and one that was concurred in by the Badi cal party, we need not Bay that the Legislature would have promptly adopted the amendment. Tho Washington Star gives an improbable story, to the effect that the secret meetings of the Vir? ginia Senate culminated in the determination of an overwhelming majority of both branches of the Legislature, now aseombled at Bichmond, to ac? cept "the situation" fully, frankly, and with alac? rity, and have a Stat* Convention for tho purpose of immediate organization under the Congressional Bill. The election for members of this conven? tion would be held in May, the convention to as? semble in June. FIRE IN FAYETTEVILLE.-We learn from private advicee from Fayetteville, that the block of wooden buildings on Person street, from the Bank of Cape Fear to the corner of Dick street, was burned io the ground on the night of the 27th mt. The buildings had become an eyesore to tho town, and were a source of constant apprehension to those in the neighborhood,tho roofs of tho tenements being old ana dry, and peculiarly liable to those accidents from sparks whicn havo so frequently resulted in conflagrations. Wo have not learned what the estimated losses are, but suppose that, including stocks of goods in the stores, ten thousand dollars would cover the wholo.- Wilmington Journal, 2d. A MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.-A 'white man, whose name we did not learn, shot himself Friday morning at the Central Railroad Depot, on the arrival of the Savannah train. It appears that he had a pistol in one of the breast pockets of his coat, which, by some unaccountable means, dis? charged itself as he jumped from the car on tho platform, the ball passing through his body, in? flicting, it is thought, a mortal wound.
