The proceedings of both branches of the General Assembly were, with the exception of a lew vehement Interruptions, conducted in a peaceful and business-like manner.

Leslie opposed the measure, and made a most severe speech, de? nouncing the policy of the Governor, 'who, he de? clared was shirking responsibilities behind the Legislature. Maxwell thought the sending or a ; committee unnecessary, as our representatives at Washington would be amply sufficient to perform all that is required on this occasion, wu itt era ore followed in the same strain, declaring that our senators and representatives in Congress would have more weight with the Federal authorities than any committee they could select, and offer? ed the following substitute: Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Rep resentatlves of the State of South Carolina, now met and sitting In General Assembly, and by the authority of the same, That'our senators and representatives lo the Congress of the United States be requested to wait npon the President of the United States, "and make a true statement of the outrages recently visited upon Our people,'Ly an organization of disguised and murderous out? laws, and present him with a copy of the concur? rent resolution adopted by both Houses, and also with a copnor so much or the Governor's message in answer ito thesame, an rentes to the outrages-1 commlKed,.and request tho President to send a , detachment or "troops to protect the lives and property of the upper part of the State, and pre? sent a copy sf the resolution and the message of the Governor to both branches of Congress."

The special correspondent of the Times at Ber? lin telegraphs that Bismarck's terms of peace are comparatively moderate. It ls stated the Madrid Government will postpone the elections In Cuba. A World special from Dijon, the 15th/says Beirort surrendered with the honors or war. The armis? tice has been extended to the departments or Cote d'Or and Doubs. A World special from Bordeaux, the 15th, says affairs are more promis? ing for the Republicans. There have arrived asl delegates. A majority seem inclined to confirmv the action of the Assembly to a ratification of the terms of peace and postpone other matters till adjournment to Paris. A special from Havre says the Prussians continue to vio? late the armistice and still exact contribu? dons from the people. Where districts are un able' to pay, the mayors are arrested as hostages. The Echo says Prince Napoleon will make London his permanent residence. The excitement in Ron mania has considerably abated. Thc Paris press anticipates bloody scenes should the Prussians persist in a triumphant march through the city. Count ifensdorf is dead. The interruption bf; communication between Lille and Paris wis' caused by excess of trafile. Registered letters are now allowed to pass to and from Paris. VERSAILLES, February 16. The surrender or arms by the Paris garrison is completed. ? Prudent men of all patties are apprehensive about the triumphal march. A single pistol shot fired by an insane fanatic might result in fe? rf al consequences. . , LONDON, Febrnary-18. The Queen of Spain la at Nice, en route to Mad- ' rid.

Tnere are very few facts to add in addition to the intelligence which we have from time to time published, and which was re? ceived from Paris by balloon mail. There were some fifty peonle killed and one hundred and twenty-five wounded by the lire of the Prussian guns. It seems singular enough that a large pro? portion of these should have been women. On one occasion five women were killed at the same time by the explosion or a shell while awaiting their turn to parchase meat at a butcher's shop. THE PROTEST OF CHESTERFIELD. A Strong Utterance. At a meeting ot the citizens of Chesterfield County, held on tue SIM Instant, the following pre? amble and resolutions were adopted: WTvereas, It becomes a people who are attached to the form of government under which they have been reared, and who value the political rights it was designed to secure to them, to guard them with jealous care and denounce with unhesitating boldness any perversion of the one or infringe? ment ol thc other; and whereas, their own self respect demands some expression-pf indignant condemnation of the conduct of those-whoever they may be-who dare, In defiance of law, of Justice and of Tesson, to perpetrate npon them so gross an outrage as to. stifle the voice of the peo? ple at thc ba'lot-box, and deprive them of repre Hentatloirra the government by their own -chosen del?gales; and wnereaa, lt would be unmanly and unpatriotic to refrain from the public utterance of our trae and decided sentiment of reprobation and disgust induced by the recent outrageous ac? tion or t';e House of Repr?sentai ives at Columbia, in ejecting the representatives from Chesterfield, sud Imposing upon us by fraud, by bribery and by tyranny, Incompetent and unworthy substitutes who aire not the choice of the large majority of the votera, but were rejected by them at the bal? lot-box. 1. Resolved, That, as citizens of Chesterfield, we do solemnly protest against the unwarranted ejection of Messrs. M. I. Hough and B. C. Evans ?rom their seats in the House of Representatives, to which they were fairly, legally and triumphant? ly elected, notwithstanding the opposition of on scrupulous partisan tricksters, and the operation of laws designed to defeat a fair expression of the will of the people. 2. Resolved, That we protest against the admis? sion of one uttletie'.d, who never was a citizen of Chesterfield, but a political adventurer, who was, at the date of the election, and long after; a mem? ber of the constabulary force, and one Singleton, neither of whom received a majority of the votes cost, or even a majority of the votes counted out of the ballot-boxes, after they had been shame? fully tampered with an'd altered, with a view to cha?as thc manifest result of the election. 3. Hesolved, vThat we denounce the. action of the House of Representatives as being without the semblance of law, or even of common deoen cy; against the evidence of the official return of the board of canvassers, and the sworn state? ments of tunny of onr best citizens; In violation of Its own order In the case but a few weeks be? fore, and of every fair precedent In lise cases; in derogation of the right of suffrage and of repre? sentation; and as indicative of a deliberate and settled purpose, on the part of those In power, notwithstanding the recent and repeated protes? tations of their Governor and other political lead? ers and organs, of moderation, amendment and reform, to carry out tho system of fraud and op? pression they have Inaugurated, to Ita final and inevliable result of anarchy and ruin. 4. Resolved, That while we denounce the cor? ruption which tolerates saca iniquitous and revo? lutionary proceedings, we cannot ho p deploring the mischievous eflects which must result to the people of our community and State, ia exalting Jealousies, provoking bitterness or it el rug and stirring up strife between the diff?rent classes of citizens. Instead or repalrin,' 'the unhappy breeches, healing divisions, harmonizing Con meting oplnloosyand Interests, and 'assuring avery claren or Che lt/violabilltr of ala vetted rights, la order th ft society may Da-firmly *e*tab ilshed-upon the basts or peace, order and perma? nence, we cannot doubt that lt ls the purpose or the actors lu'thls outrage to perpetuate,, as rar aa may be In their power, the reign of discord and corruptlnn. Yet, as good.citizens, we earnestly deprecate arny action on the part of oar people.to which, as men under unusual provocation, they might be tempted to resort, In order to right their ' own wrongs, outside of the law. 6. Resolved, That we attribute the assaults which are especially made upon the rights of the people*! Chesterfield, In a groat measure, to the influence ox one R. James Donaldson, who, ever since he came among us, In the guise of a min . ister or religion, has Misled himself in sowing the seeds .or distension between the white and colored races, reaping rorhimseir a harvest of fat .offices add lucrative positions, and betraying-his ?deluded followers, and was the Ingenious though base contriver of ali the machinery of fraud put .la operation, at the recent election here-a dla-, graco and'a "norden to rds-own party, and a; fomenter of discord in the conruunfty. - C Resolved, That- wer cannot recognize the In? dividuals now occupying the seats of our ejected members, as the representatives Of Chesterfield; - On motion of E. F. Malloy, Resolved, That this preamble and resolutions, with tras motion affixed to those adopted, be sent to the-G overa or or the state, the president or the 'Senate/the speaker of the House of Representa? tives, with the request that they be read before; the House, and to GT W.Trfv?tl, EBq?.'ohf senator? tl ll i If? il ?J* G.
