The troops were all saved. . iBichmo^IHspaieh of Monday. Relief for the Sonth. The following is the debate in the Senate on Saturday last, on the proposition to relieve the distress of the South : Mr. Trumbull (rep.) of UL, from the Judiciary Commitwo, reported a joint resolution appro Sdating ono million of dollars'for the relief of des tute people of the South and Southwest, of any and all classes, to be expended mular the superin? tendence of the Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau in supplies of food. .Mr. Trumbull, in ex? plaining the necessity for passing the above, said that General Howard had called on the Judioiary Committee this morning and testified that unless something of the kind was done there would be actual starvation among tho rv.: loyal portion of the South. Former appropriations had"been sufficient to provide for the actual wanta of freedmen and loyal refugees, but under the resolutions passing them ho money ' could be spent in relieving the destitution of the disloyal people of the South. It ?tras now asked to extend the aid to all alike. The recommendation of the committee was $580,750 less than that asked for by General Howard. . After further discussion by, Messrs. Stewart, (rep.) of Nevada, and Pomeroy, of Plans as, in favor of the resolution, Mr. Sprague, (rep.) ot R. L, moved to amend the resolution by increasing the appropriation to $1,500,000. Mr. Doolittle, (rep.) of Wis., adv?cated the amendment. After further discussion the amendment was disagreed to. A debate sprung upon the subject of the resolu? tion, in-thc course of which Mr. Stewart said the Indian Bureau was a cesspool into which all tho surplus funds of the country were teemed, Mr. Hurlan, (rep.) of Iowa, asked Mr. Stewart where he got such information as wananied that assertion ? Mr. Stewart replied ?L. a speech critizing in gen? eral terms tho management of Indian Affairs, and the repeated conflict between tho civil and military authorities growing out of it. Mr. Harlan said rhere was no such conflict. The only conflict thoro was from a difference of opinion botween tho people of the Territories and the peo? ple of tho more civilized regions as to the proper treatment of the Indians. The people of the Ter? ritories were for the extermination of the Indians, and tho aimy sympathized with them. Thejpcople of the States hold different opinions. Mr. Harlan thoa denied that there was corruption in the In? dian Department of the Government. Mr. Johnson rose to suggest that the debate was taking too wide a rango, and wandering too far from tho subject properly before the Senate. Tho donate was resumed on the subject of the resolution, and was participated in by Messrs. Norton, Drake, Conkhng, Howo, Sainsbury, Hen? derson, Wilson, Doolitiie, Corbett, Frelinghuysen and Trumbull. Tho resolution WSB then passed. An English journal says : "At no time since the Russian war has tho establishment i-f Woolwich Arsenal'been moro actively engaged than at pres? sent, notwithstanding the numerous new resources of improved machinery and mechanism which havo advanced with the time. A moderate supply of the new rifles and ammunition is despatched periodi? cally by the ordnance store vessel* to the whole of the ou's stations, and, in cases of emergency, by railway and other means. A largo number of .cases of tho new cartridges and ammunition havo Leon sont off from Woolwich Arsenal as a reserve ?br the army in ireland." Our Washington letter. [SPECIAL COBBESPONDENCE OF THE DAILY NEWS 1 CONGRESSIONAL ADJOURNMENT. WASHINGTON, March 9_Congress has now noth? ing more important to pass upon than the day it will adjourn, and upon this question there is likely to be no little vexation of legislative spirit. True, the Senate have a considerable list of Presidential appointees io dispose of, and the number is being largely aggregated every day, but as, afc the present rate of senatorial confirmation, these nominations could not receive final action for a decade to come, it is manifest that the latter body may quite as well retire and wait for a more con? genial season for transacting the work in hand. And apropos, of the possibility of such a sensi? ble conclusion being arrived at, it is well to men? tion the rumor that hovers over the political cir? cles of the capital fco the effect that his Excellency intends to take his revenge after the prerogative of bis office, in immediately convening the dOth Congress, after about the time it would seem likely to have become comfortably settled, and respectively diffused under the representative and senatorial vibes and fig trees' of private life, and again sel the Senat?; at the task of wrangling over the Executive appointments. This rumor is the more plausible from tho fact that there is manifest prejudice to our governmen? tal resources, by reason of refusal to sanction Mr. JOHNSON'S appointments. In the Posloffice Depart? ment alone there is reported fco be three m dior s of dollars in cash, at present o ut st anding in the hands of ?mief clerks of postoffioes, whose appointees have been denied by the Senate from time to time. TheBe clerks, of course, give no bond, nor are re? sponsible in tae value of a picayune for moneys lost, Btolen or defaulted. In other departments the same evil exists, and in none moro deplorably than in the line of Internal Revenue Collectors and Assessors. These latter districts are particularly unsettled, and productive of small revenue to the Government by reason of the continued local snarl over the agents for appraising and collection, all of which is directly incident fco the dictatorial action of the Senatorial cabal at Washington. And so it goes in every caprice of this ttrurap" of a. "rump Congress;" whioh, while it retards or utterly defeats the harvest of Government re? sources, piles up the liabilities of tho national puree, as though* greenbacks had but to be in? creased and multiplied the country over, fco fill up the measure of national prosperity. FASHIONABLE ED LEES COMING TO GRIEF. The scene of Washington gaiety just closed has been a very heavy draft upon the pockets of its do-( vot?es, whether classed- with the entertainers or entertained. But especially have those reminis? cences of ball and fetes become the notorious waking nightmare of more than a score cf gay "Lotharios," who were marked and gallant leaders in the round of jollity and frippery just closed.; How ma?y more there may be, who grieve in se? cret Anxiety or remain temporarily shielded from the consequences of extravagant follies, it is not well to spec ala te, lest society should thereby suffer a reproof nofc easy to repress. But the twenty odd young dissipants whom shame has overtaken and blasted publicly, there can be no harm to men? tion, inasmuch as our capital society itself jobas in their condemnation and ceremonious excommuni? cation. . . * Tn the main, young gentlemen of Washington, considered undeniably eligible to the charms and Qonsonco of the gay season," are officers in the regular army, and so popular and genuine are con? sidered their cl?im3 that not a little of the ruinous axpense involved in keeping pace with tho wants md conceits of the nymphs of haul ton, is graci jusly thrust upon their slender pay. Lieutenants sazmot stand the demand ; Captains shudder at it; md even Brigadiers, with a multiplicity of brevets, are made more nervous than when facing the une tny. And thus it has come to bo a by-word and indubitable fact, that shoulder-straps wore hoing f?irfuuy worsted in the course of tho winter's " engagement." Meantime the money-changers have been reaping harvests upon an average rate of interest sf five per cent, a month, and, in frequent in? stances, doubla that usury. And out of this, again, rios grown a system of : mortgaging office re' accounts and pay-rolls a twelvemonth in advance, ind finally the ruined principals have completed che succession of folly by forging duplicates, and avon triplicates, of their official vouchers against the Paymaster. It is not an exaggeration to say \ ;hafc tho number of these despondentB arc twenty it leaaOand full half of them have been "tho ?right particular stars" of our fashionable fi- ma nent the winter through. - Just at present I must not mention name;, as ?he Go vern mont is kindly lending its conni vance a admit of the squall "blowing over," arid a quiet nterveht??n upon the part of friends and relatives rho propose fco restore to Casar tho things that ire, C.sesar'a, and so relieve young spendthrift from he odium of his "mistake." Suffice it to say, hat the list embraces certain rolioksome scidhs of listinguished houses, in some of which the pater ?al heads are high in tho register of our naval ad niralty, and, in occasional instances, doing duty n the administration of martial law over the mili? tary districts of the South. While dropping a tear over this item of fashion? able vicissitude, I must not neglect to mention an additional case in. point : That A. H. LEE^vho ab? sconded- about lunch time from the treasury de? partment a few weeks ago, and who took with him i batch of seven-thirties, footing up fco nearly iffcy thousand, has returned to the capital after an aventful spree in St. Louis. He now enjoys the retirement of the public jail. Society, which he sourted assiduously and successfully during tho ?vintry gaieties gone by, has'not yet applied for idmission fco comfort the prisoner. VIDEX. The Impeachment Question. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, under date of 7th inst., says : The debate m the House to-day on the proposed impeachment indicates pretty clearly the temper of memoers on that exciting subject. The ex? treme Radicals still hug to their bosoms their old darling of immediate Executive decapitation, but the moderates advise prudence, deliberation and calmness in prosecuting a work of such solemn import. Mr. Ashley evidently intends to keep up bis fire on "the man at tho other end of tho avenue," for to-day he uttered an anti-Johnson denunciation fiercer, if possible, than any before. Gesticulating ?xoitedly, he remarked that ho would say nothing as fco the tembl? doubt that oppress? ed his mina as to complicity with tho assassination conspiracy, and the mysterious connection be? tween death and treachery. . The utterance of this dark insinuation again creatod a profound sensation among the spectators assembled in the galleries, including a li ber il rep? resentation of the diplomatic corps. The Demo? cratic members alone seemed to take the matter in an unconcerned manner, laughing at Ashley's ex? cited manner and interrupting him with semi jocose quost.ons. The speech of Mr. Spalding, who called the impeachment project "a stupen? dous folly," and asked if the policy of . the Crum weU times and tho scenes enacted under Danton, Murat and Robespierre were to be repeated, made quite an impression. General Butler replied in a characteristic manner to Mr. Spalding, but his point was simply tho old one that President John? son should be removed at all hazards if he stood in the way of peace, harmony, unity, law and re consti notion. On tins subject of impeachment it is difficult to soe the end. The extreme Radical clement, which favors hot-headed measures of suspension, seems to have met with a check. I havo heard Republi? cans exprese tho opinion that impeachment is all humbug, that the Judiciary Committee failed miserably in sustaining any serious charge, and that there had been enough of the matter until tho end of Andrew Johnson's term. Tm's savors Vbrymuch of backing down from the solemn po? sition taken by the dominant party last session. Tho action of the Senato caucus to-day, in lavin? on the table the proposition of last night's Ropub hean caucus, changes suddenly the probabilities that existed this morning of the adjournment on Monday next, the difficulty presenting itself of tho inability of one branch adjourning Congress with? out tho consent of tho other. It has oeeu made manifest to-day that there is not only among many of the Republican members an unwilling concur? rence with the course determined upon lust night, but so strong a hostility to this course on the part of a majority of the Senate, that it is impossible to cirry into effect last night's determination. Tho feeling entertained by a mnjority of tho Senate that the facts thus far elicited by tho House Judici? ary Committee would prove a dangerous basis upon which tv proceed to impeachment will force the Hons' to agroo to an adjournment to October next. Senators take the position that if there is any sincerity in tho movement of the loading prosecutors tho H uso shou.d proceed immediate? ly to carry out their programme, or consent to an adjournment over tho summer months, and there? by virtually acknowledge the abandonment of tho wholo question. A leading Representative, on be? ing informed to-day of the action, or want of action, pf the Senate caucus, exclaimed, "I am very glad of it." It is claimed by somo of tho pronouncodTJonservatives that many of those who voted for tho adjournment to May were induced to do so only through the stimulant of a severe party discipline, Our New York Letter. [FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.] NEW YOEE, March 8.-Many years ago, when the swill milk excitement was the all absorbing topic of the day here, when men grew rich by means of the disgraceful traffic in the milk of human un? kindness to innocent cows, the Ledger made its mark by exposing the co w-hevd-ly details, and the expose had the-effect of increasing the circulation of the Ledger and stopping the circulation of the objectionable milk. Now, however, the evil has taken fresh growth, tbe .poor cows are again shut un, cabined, cribbed and confined in dark, dank places, and they give a quantity of bad, diseased milk, which is sold for good heallhy greenback. Though thc Ledger may not take up arms again in defence of the poor animals, the cows have another champion and defender, or rather a host of them, and the Society for tho Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has.drawn the sword in their behalf. I call to mind the pretty little nursery rhyme where gratitude to the poor cow is expressed in the touching Unes, "I thank the pretty cow, who gives me milk to soak my bread," ?c., and shudder at the thought that ungrateful men should subject the poor creatures to such torture as brings on all diseases that cow fleBh is heir to, for the purpose of increasing the quantity, whilst it deteriorates the quality of tho bread soaking compound. Por? tia says that the quality of mercy is not strained ; the quality of swill milk is perhaps best discovered by straining the difference between mercy and milk, wherefore must all men in general, and milk-men in particular, be merciful to the poor cows, and to bring about this consummation so devoutly to be wished for, this new phase of the milky-way, HANS BEBQH and his cc-laborers are straining every nerve to throw all the milk away that comes from the swilling process. CLARK, WEBSTER & Co., the enterprising pro? prietors of the gift establishment at No. 62 Broad? way, have como to grief, or rather grief has come to them in the shape and form of a squad of offi? cers, who made a grand raid upon them yesterday. These honest gentlemen were proprietors of the Banker's and Merchant's Grand Presentation En? tertainment, which had given out circulars in which it was modestly announced that the conoern was worth $1,287,148, the entire amount of which would bo distributed in prizes to be drawn for at Cooper Institute on the 25th day of April next. Thousands of yellow envelopes were found ad? dressed to thousands of green individuals, residing for the most part in the rural districts, and tickets with lucky numbers were\ scattered about most abundantly, but the $1,287,148 weronot found. The " bonkers," however, were arrested, together wi-.1 i many outsiders, or rather insiders, who were interested in the success of the Boheme, all are now held in durance vile. The Fenians are muoh elated on the strength of the news of the uprising in Ireland, which is gene? rally believed; token at best, however, there is not much in the news to be elated or violently excited about, yet the Fenians are rather imaginative arid hopeful, and they hug the belief that the great Irish ball has been opened at last. How the dance will end remains to be seen; meanwhile the "Irish" will be tbe dance of dances, rivalling even the fashionable "Gorman." SAH COLLTEB and BASNET AABON, the two un Jerome-like gentlemen of pugilistic fame, cannot agree as to the spot where they shall disfigure each other's countenances for a purse of five thousand dollars. ' COLLTEB wishes to fight on Virginia soil, biit BARNET objects to going to such a distance from his maternal relative, who resides here. A young woman named MART DUGAN, who had stooped to folly to find, when it WSB much too lato, that men betray, committed suicide yester? day by taking a large dose of Paris green. The villain who was the direct cause pf the ruin and death of this poor girl goos scot-free, whilst the poor beggar, who steals a p enny-rofl from a baker's shop, is imprisoned and disgraced as a felon. With such laws it is not to be wondered at that women should agitate ? tho question of universal suffrage for white women os well as for black men. The members of the new Dental College eat their first annual dinner last night at the St James Hotel; speeches were made on tbe subject of teeth; toasts were drunk to men who deal ir teeth, and it was proven inclusively that when a glass is in? serted between the front teeth of on individual, and the liquor contained therein is carefully poured down into the throat, through the mouth, no harm ensues, and the dental organization re? mains unimpaired, and ready for a repetition of the process. It was ? feast of reason, and teeth, and a flow of go^d wines, and the Dentists had a jolly time genera1 ly, making first-rate speeches, Binging good songs, and telling stories with the most approved good order. They seemed, all of them, to be such a whole-souled, jovial, good-' natured Bet of people, these happy drawers of teeth, that one could hardly behove that they were the same awful creatures who terrify us so when we take our seat in their easy (?) chairs, and tremble as they handle their instruments of torture. One among the good things said at the dinner, or rather after the dinner, was in the form of a conundrum, wherein it is asked why dentists are always sad, and to which tho reply is that they aro always looking down in the mouth. Tho tumble that gold h OB taken in the past two or three days has been the making of many of the members of the Gold Board, and the unmaking of as many others. The excitement in the Gold Boom when fluctuations are great and sudden is most intense; to see and hear hundreds of men bawling out at the same moment to the extent of their lungs, to note the pallor on the4)heeksof those who have lost heavily, and the flushed faces of those whom fortune has favored, is a sight that once seen can never be forgotten.

As our community is much interested at present about Life Insurance, and yet has not long since turned much attention to it, we insert the sub? joined circular as expressive of a judgment partic? ularly entitled to consideration. It is that of a community which may be deemed especially quali? fied, as well by reason of an experience as long, if not longer, than that of any other in the United States, as of its high distinction for mercantile education, to form a correct appreciation of the various features and advantages of institutions involving so profound a system of science OB these.

Emrich, a well-known German restaurant-keeper of this city, and as a meeting of the officers of tho German Building Association was called at the place, a number of persons were in a room in the rear portion of the building, which was much lower in height than the Central-House.- Mr. Emrich and his ..bar tender were removing a piano from tho room when a por? tion of the rotten wall came down, crushing that portion of the building completely. . ' . V John Ehrig, tho bar-tender, wai L,aken out dead. About th? some time Mr. Mu hi-' "hanson, agent of the German Insurance Compai was taken out and oonveyed to Congress Hall a s tan rant near at hand, kept by Mr. John McCarty, where he ie- ' ceived every possible alleviation of his sufi erin ea from the proprietor and his assistants, and the medical attentions of Dr. Miller, bat died in about bah* an hour. He had received severe injuries.in? ternally, and a bad out upon his head. Ho bore his mortal hurts, with remarkable fortitude. . Mr. Emrich was buried in thc ruins, and at half past twelve his .body had not been found. Mr. B. Ostbrmey er. baker at 287 F street, be? tween Twelfth and Thirteenth, was taken out with his leg badly fractured and conveyed to bis resi? dence. Dr. May will po if ona amputation this, morning. .'. - A female cook, colored, employed at Emricb's, was buried in the ruins at last accounts. Three persons escaped with bruises, more - or less severe-one of them, Lev. Turpin, formerly of the Canterbury. Mr. Emrich hos a wife and six children, one, a son, residing in Baltimore. ' ' '.' ," ? a . The hotel portion of tho building destroyed was not occupied. The front on tho Avenue was occu? pied by Mr. Mattingly, tickot agent for Southern routes, and Mir. Lollys auction shop, in which the fire originated. . Two young men, named Jacob J. Lamer and George McDaniel, were arrested on suspicion of orson by Detectives Kelly and Bigeley, and are held at headquarters for a hearing. . The Fenians. As we see it announced that Mr. JOHN MITCHEL is now the Head Centre of Feuianism, and as it is understood that he is one of the staff of the Rich? mond Dispatch, tho following, clipped from last Monday's issue ?fthat paper, will te read with in? terest : These people will not givo the British Govern? ment any rest. They are constantly rising, and the Government as steadily engaged in putting them down. They are now manifesting thom selve ' in many parts of Ireland, and the police and military aro on thc run, Uko an alarmed com? munity when tho woods and mountains are on fire, hurrying from point to point to put out the flames. We suppose, uko. that fire, tho . Fenians will bo again temporarily put out; but the embers will continue aUve underneath, and will burst out again acd ogam, until some day England will have to give up Ireland. We had begun to hope that Ireland would suspend operations and wait to seo what inroads chartism arid the leagues made upon tho British Government. We suspect, however, that, looking to examples abroad, the Irish ap ?rehended that they had as little to expect from olin Bright as from Quoon Victoria, andpreforred to toke their chances in another fight. They must go to the wall again. But most assuredly these repeated and desperate demonstrations must exert a moral influence either towards the mitigation of the British rule or to the detriment of British power before the world. England having given up her attitude of dictator fene ral and settkr- of the affairs of the world, and aviig turned broker, manufacturer, and shop? keeper, is growing contemptible in the eyes of thOBO who lately feared her, , and there are powers which to-day itch to pick a quarrel with her. Even ?be United States bas given the lion-tumed-shop keeper a kick-nay, seveial kicks-with the too of a brogan-and thc animal has made no more ado but rub the place a bttle ! Now, when anybody does get into a row with that kingdom, her pro? vinces will drop off, and discontented Ireland will welcome the invader and rally under bis flag. These things may happen some day or other, and Fenianism is in the meantime not without its sug? gestions. Every country is bound to hove its rise, progress and downfall, and England must repeat this sort of history. She may yet esteem it happi? ness tobe allowed the limits of her own Little isle, having surrendered everything else. VEE BELLTGEBENT republics of South America and Spain are to be represented at a Peace Con? ference at Washington on the first of April, pro? vided the replies of tho Governments, to which Secretary Seward's ciraffar on the subject is ad? dressed, oro of afovorablo character. Our Gov? ernment hopes to bring about a pacification by bringing the parties together. This step is token in accordance with tbs Bpirit of certain resolu? tions which were adopted by the House of Be preBontativcs on the 17th of December last, and which concur with the sentiments of the President. The Conference will consist of plenipotentiaries of Spain, Peru, Chile, Ecuador and Bolivia, to consider and agree upon terms of a permanent peace which shall be equal, just and honorable to all the bellig? erents; and in case of disagreement of the pleni? potentiaries, it is suggested that tho President of the United States designate some State or sover? eign to be an umpiro to decide all questions which shall be refer? ca to him by the Conference, and the decision of ;hat umpire bhall be final and mu? tually binding. So soon'rie^such Confer*" a :e shall take place, a cessation of hostilities ahab.k mtinuc until the termination of the Congress, 'lue circu lar in relation to this subject is signed by the Se? cretary of S toto, and is an earnest of the desire of our Government to seo pe&co and harmony in South America. Tb? Revolution. In.the House of Representatives, Thursday, Mr. j BEooKB, of New Yt,rk, denounced with great warmth the conduct of the revolutionists in and ont of Congress. The following passage from his speech gives ns his view of the present and future of the country: He would say to thf gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Spaulding], wno stood nere as a Girond against the Jacobins, that the history of the Girondists was in this place to be written; and although such men as he attempt to arrest the revolution, he [Mr. Brooks] did not think the revolution was here to stop. He did not believe that it was half writ? ten or half acted out, unless all history was at fault. We are now repeating the history of Au? gustus and Julius Casar, and the Government is passing from a republic to a despotiem. Revolu? tions never stop. The Girondists, the Conserva? tives, are to be overwhelmed by the Jacobins; and when we Bhall have lost all' our Uberties, some fu? ture Napoleon, yet unknown, w?l rise np from the chaos and rescue the country from anarchy through a military despotism. Hence the r?sist? ance of the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Spaulding], and the partial resistance of the gentleman from, Pennsylvania [Mr. Miller], would be in vain. More than one-half of tho territory of the old Re? public was already under a military despotism, and there was no more protection in the Southern States for life, liberte or properte, than under the dominions of the Sultan or the Czar. The military- ' government bill, now over ten millions of people, white and black, was to be extended over the North and West before the revolution was finish? ed. While he greeted the voice of the gentleman from Ohio [Mr. Spaulding], and welcomed the calmly resisting tones of the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. Miller], he knew, if history were correct, there was to be no escape for any of us. The gentleman from Massachusetts [Mr. But? ler], in his specifications of impeachment, said that this House would be false to itself if it shrank from impeachment now. The gentleman was right. Tue ball of revolution which had been set in motion was not to be stopped, but was to roll over the House and the country. ' The v who em? bark in revolutions can never shrink.' They must always go om- . . ? Congreadonail Chaplains. ? Congress, like the elder Pendennis, patronizes religion because it is respectable. It pays a par? son to do its praying, and he poye them back by making his prayers harmonize exactly with the spirit and policy ol' the rrrajo?y who elect, him. Mr. RAYMOND, of the New York Times, who has beena witness to the business for the last two years, gives his impressions as follows*: Religion, like everything else in Washington, is shamelessly prostituted to-the necessities and con? veniences of partinan politice. 1 Chaplains axe elected just as door-keepers and tide-waiters are appointed, on account of their political ' opinions, and they are expected to pray and preach in the sei-vico and for the profit of tile party that elects them. Party zeal is often qui te as apparent in the opening prayer of the Congressional Chaplain aa in th edward harangue of the Treasury Clerk. : : CL The Chaplain, is,expected toprayfor m's party friends and at his party foes. Usually his petition is a summary of the proceedings of the preceding day, and a statement of what ought to be done,on the day at hand. For every bill passed and vote given m accordance with party purposes and plans, dovout thanks (if anything of that kind can be culled devout) are returned to the Almighty, who is earnestly exhorted to open the eyes ana change the-votes.of everybody who stands on the other aide. - The irreverence of some of these so-called prayers often borders on blasphemy.. They, are seldom anything more than stump-speeches made with closed eyes and addressed ostensibly to the Father of all; while in sentiment, language and general style, they would shock any intelligent and cultivated audience. i s ?". j . ? < ?? ?"?> i?|.t| ..,.'. 7 ..:';?.?::.??.. ? ??' gSJji-U A Sontheni Soldier's Opinion. General ; CTTALwrnw,'. of Mississippi, whose gal? lantry made him conspicuous in the war, has writ? ten a letter to REVERDY JOHNSON (dated March 2d), from which the'following, passage is taken : I believe firmly in tho doctrine of secession, and I believe that we did. secede, and that when'we were .conquered,' we ftene a foreign^ nation; iandUE therefore believe that the United States have a right to prescribe new terms if we should make a new alliance with hex* |? ?V.r?>5R.j? ." Belioying'this, ?rdkhowmg.that the President aL ne cannot make a treaty of peace with a foreign government, I never have belie ved that the action of the Pr?sident in his efforts to reconstruct the Union was right ; but I gladly supported him and supported his plan, because it was more liberal to my people than the congressional-Tuan.-. j But since he cannot carry out bis plan-since the Supreme Court cannot now afford us adequate {iroteotion, and may bo soon changed, BO" "aa to lie loslile to us-and ornoo the Louisiana bill and the confiscation bill are being pressed by the' extreme Radicals, with a fair prospect of forcing them on us if the agitation continue, I am for closing the contract with Congress on the tenns which it pro? poses. ; , ' - A TRIUMPH OF .FREEDOM.-The maila -by. the steamer Cite of Antwerp cuntom:details of-'the re? storation ?. or. the -Hungarian ' Constitution" by the Emperor of Austria. Thia event is a great triumph 'for the Hungarians, at which the friends of free? dom in every country should rejoice. . It marks the success of the causo' for which Kossuth waa driven into exUe in 1848-'40. . The Hungarians, it will be remembered, flew to arms in defence of their constitutional rights, which were jeopardized ny the centralizing policy of the Anadian Govern ment. The result belongs to history?; Austria, in tho pride of her power and in the first flush of suc? cess, abolished the Constitution of Hungary, and undertook to govern the- kingdom by mihtatr law. The Hungarians adopted a policy of inactivity., They submitted to what they could not'prevent. They could not oppose Austria by physical force, but they wearied and weakened her by a moral op Eisition and a passive resistance until Austria is at st forced to conciliate them by the formal reato-' ration of their ancient constitutional privileges. The above extraordinary editorial is from the N. Y. Commercial Ai?ner?ser of tho 6th,- (Radical)-a paper which exults over the action of Congress in placing over the.South a military despotism, and has had no policy but? "centralizing" one. A few years hence, it may have come sufficiently to its senses and to a knowledge of the use of terms, to print the same article,- substituting the ten Southern States for Hungary, and Congress for Austria. -_ ' ' '_.' . * THE POETE CONCEDING TO CBXTE.-The mails from Europe bring us intelligence of great uneasi? ness'in the Ottoman Government. The' Ministers of the Sultan believe the situation to bo critical, and this has led them to entertain the idea of "Representative Chambers," in order to conciliate the Greeks. This idea is not a new one. In 1859 it was in the plan of the' great conspiracy which, numbered sixty to eighty thousand adherents. The spirit of .the reform demanded by that parte has survived the. suppression of the insurrection referred to, and now breaks out anew. The brother of the Viceroy of Egypt has placed himself at the head of the Reform party, and the very heb? to the throne, MAURAD.EFFENDI, is favorable to the views entertained by the party. It is no wonder then, that tbe Porte yields to tins pressure, and the fear of trouble with its powerful subject, the Viceroy of Egypt, and the concession to the Greeks will prob? ably save the empire from disruption. EPISCOPAL METHODIST CHUBCH.-The action of the Baltimore Conference, has secured what that Conference so much desired-a change of tbe name of the church from "M.'E. Church, South," to "Episcopal Methodist Church," and also, we suppose, the introduction of tho lay feature into the ruling bodies of the church. To ratify these changes the former proposition lacked only forty eight votes before the Baltimore Conference acted,, and the latter a somewhat larger number, but not' BO large, we think, as that of the votes cast for it in this Conference. Tho former change disembar? rasses the church in the border and northern States, while the latter will probably cause the ac? cession to tbe Episcopal Methodist Church of the entire Methodist Protestant Church in the South? ern States (including Maryland). It will be seen that several ministers from the Northern Metho? dist Church have already joined tho Baltimore Conference. When Dr. Doggett, as be then was, and Dr. Edward first suggested this chance of. name, we took occasion to approve thu propoiition.' (Richmond Bispatch, A NICE.POINT OP LAW.-Chancollor JobnsoD, of South Carolina, has just given an interesting de? cision. The case was one of a purchase made in 1862, when the buyer paid two thousand dollars in Confederate money at the time of the purchase, and gave two notes for the balance, one payable at twelve months, the other at two years. Tn 1863 tho first note was paid, when due, in Confederate money. In 1864 a part of the second note was poid in Confederate money, about a month before the note was due. When this note matured, the purchaser came forward with the remainder and offered it in Confederate money, but it was re? fused. The question came up whether the pur? chaser bad not performed his contract as far as he could be expected to do so. After ah able argu? ment the Court held that the balance was still-due, and that it should be computed in the proportion that the whole of the original debt bears to the valuo of the purchase in present currency, giving credit for all payments in the same ratio. Ac ap? peal was token. SAVES FROM HANGING.-A late decision of the Supreme Court of Alabama saved one Aaron Cros? by from "stretching hemp." On the day appoint? ed for tho oxecution of the prisoner, the Sheriff of Tuscaloosa county was prevented from executing the sentence, by an interference on the part bf the military authorities then stationed at Tuscaloosa. At a subsequent term of the Circuit Court the prisoner was brought bet?re it to be resentenced; statute under which he had been tried and con? victed, was repealed before the prisoner was thus a second time brought before tbe court to receive sentence of death. The Circuit Court resentenced hinfp -which action of the Circuit Court was re? versed by the Supreme Court, and the prisoner discharged.
