By Telegreplii New Torie Market. NEW YORE, September 23.-The stock market yesterday was* more ac? tive and higher. Governments steady. Gold steady, and closed at 143%. There was a fair degree of activity i*a commercial circles, _ and more buoyancy and firmness than for seve- j ral days. Nearly all kinds of foreign ? goods held higher, and, in some cases, altogether above the views of buyers. Groceries steady. Cotton unchanged. On' 'Change nour and grain were higher. Pork was dull. Weelcljr newspaper* Damaged. NEW YORK, September 23.-This morning, a fire occurred in the press rooms of Messrs. Wilhams & Scott, No. 15 Spruce street, who are printers of several weekly newspapers. The total loss will amount to about $15. OOO. which is covered by insurance. Among the newspapers that- were printed in this establishment were the Leader, - Atlas, Citizen, Dry Gooda Reporter, Commercial Buu?iin, and the Nevi Yorker Democrat, The Saturday Cou? rier was of the number, and this week's edition, wJjpMi waa printed, was lost. The publication of some of the other journals, of whic1 the sheets were not destroyed, wfll be delayed. The Sunday Times was also printed by Wilhams ?fe Scott. The loss to its propietors, Noah, Dean & Howard, was, in paper, valued at $1,000. The Times will be issued as usual. The Win Trial. WASHINGTON, September 23.-Pro? ceedings were renewed in this cele? brated case to-day. The prisoner reclined, on his sofa, unable to sit up. Lieut. Dyer, of the Twelfth United States Colored Troops, testified to the general bad treatment of prisoners at Andersonville, and the whipping of colored troops. He had never been ill-treated by Wirz. The hospital register letter book and other papers were admitted as evidence. The Judge Advocata signified a wish to close the case for the Government, reserving the right to examine witnesses as to new matters, and to offer record evidence to connect the Richmond authorities, including Jefferson Davis and General Lee, with the Anderson? ville prison- Mr. Baker, for Wirz, objected to accumulative evidence, and said that he did not wish to * 'go it blind." Colonel Chipman replied that Mr. Baker only appeared for Wirz, and had no right to follow the Government in pursuit of other parties. * The Government then in? formally closed the case. Mr. Baker asked for time, in order to recuperate counsel and prisoner, and to sift the evidence, under the belief that Wirz could prove a full and complete de? fence. Colonel Chipman said this iast remark was an insult to the army of the United States, but a disclaimer of any such intention being made, the question of adjournment till next Tuesday was debated and finally ordered by the Court. I amjiot and never have been in favor of making voters .or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold offices or intermarry with the white people; and I will say in addi? tion to this, that there is a physical difference betw?en the j white .and black races rvhich I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equali? ty; and inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together, there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I, as much as any other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race, to which I belong. [Abraham Lincoln. Jacob Strawn, the great land owner, died recently at his residence, in Jacksonville, Illinois. He commenced with a capital of a silver half-dollar and he died worth a minion and a half of dollars-principally in land, of? which he possessed some 35,000 acres, worth $40 or $50 an acre. He could' ride all day over his property, and not see the end of it. He was immensely stout;-weighing when he died 350 pounds. He gav? $10,000 to the State Sanitary Committee. He was a staunch Union man. The New Orleans Picagune. says it . is a cruel mockery to express an ex? pectation that any of the great staples of the State will soon be produced on "a scale approximating to tho pro? duction of the year before the war. The man who expects, within the next twenty-five years, to see 40,000 hogsheads of sugar and 40,000 bales of cotton produced in Louisiana, under the present or any greatly im? proved organization of our labor, is truiy a sanguine man." I Tine Admission or Southern Repre? sentatives.? The question of the admission of Bouthern representatives to seats in Congress is one of great interest. It has not received that attention which its exceeding pith and moment de? serve. "We fear there is trouble ahead in reference to it. Both the"- Senate and House of Bepresentativ?s have large "Bepubhcan" majorities. . But Republican is a rather indefinite term, I and by no means represents hoino genity of^ political opinions. Some of the members are radical ard some conservative Republicans; some sup? port and others oppose the President's views. Now, each house is the sole judge of the qualifications of its own members. The States of the South have been unrepresented, with an exception or two, for four years. At the next meeting, Senr*ors and Rep? resentatives elect by the people of the several Southern States will no doubt present themselves for admission to seats. ?Shall they be admitted? Some persons say that the whole question depends, in respect to the House, upon the dictum of Mr. Edward Mc? Pherson, its Clerk. If he call the roll of Southern States, their Repre? sentatives, we are told, will be admit? ted; if not, not. But, evidently, tho action of the Clerk will not be filial i u the case, whatev? r it may be. If this were so, Mr. McPherson would indeed be a man of power. He would pos? sess more than the President of th? United States. But this is not so The Clerk's action will be prehminarv and subject to revision on the part o the House. ' Should he refuse to cal the roll of the Southern States-ash< may-the House, after organizing can, if it choose, order the Souther; delegates admitted to seats, and th Clerk will be obliged to swear them in under penalty of removal or othe other punishment for refusing. Ol the other hand, if he should call th roll of the Southen States, and thei Representatives should take thei seats, the House might subsequent! oust them, declaring they have n right to them. We say it migh actually do this, by virtue of its rigl to decide upon the qualifications c its own members. But we advanc no minion at this time whether sue a course would be legal and constiti tional or not. This is unnecessar for otu* present purpose. All that v, mean to say is that the final decisio of the admission re3ts with the Hous< 'As the majority of that body shall I favorably or unfavorably disposed, ? will the Southern Representatives I admitted or refused. What, thei will be the temper of thc House, ar what will determine the admission ? exclusion of the Southern delegate Upon the first of these points, web? leave to ask attention to the followii extract of a late letter from the Was ington correspondent of the Sprin field (Mass.) Republican, a modera journal. He says: "I am willing to hazard a predicts in view of the recent concluct of t people of several of the. Southe States, and it is, that Congress w not next winter admit Senators a: Representatives from them-possit excepting North Carolina, Lonisia and Arkansas. I understand ?V Dawes to express the opinion in ] Pittsfield speech that he would ne*, consent to admit Represeutatii from one of those States till the qu tion of its thorough loyalty is fu settled. In this, he agrees with i President. I do not hear of one 1 publican member of the neteCongr who believes the Clerk of the Hoi should put thc names of memb elect from the Southern States (1 States wrhich went into the rebellh upon his roll. Everybody adn that the House must settle the qu tion of their admission, not of tu ing them out. They do not com? Congress as members from lo States come. For four years, tl have been attempting to destroy Government, and now Congress ii judge whether it is wise to ad them. Thc Government recogni the Pierpont Government of Virgil yet neither the. Senate or Ho would admit Senators or Represei lives from that State, not even vt the (juestion was being decided. \ McPherson's course is, therefi plain before him. I suppose thai these questions will have to come fore the House Committee of ? tioiis. Mr. Dawes will be its ch man, and the country may rest < under the conviction that the ques of admitting these men is in hands. Mr. Dawes fc? cautious, he rarely errs. He will never 1 the admission of men to Cong from States that are not genui: loyal. I am certain of that." Upon the owner point-what d<itermine the admission or exclu of the Southern delegates-we leave to say that we think the ? ... ? ij . . -: . * ir-, . '. tibn will turn upon the character, an? tecedents and political opinions of' the delegates themselves and the action of the States from which they may come. And in this respect, therefore, the whole question is in the hands of the Southern people, and they can determine it just which way they please. They can, through a certain line of action, cause their delegates to be admitted, or they can, by a . different course, effect their ex? clusion. The prospect of their admission has been greatly diminished, and the question embarrassed, we feel bound to declare, by the rejection of the Constitutional Amendment in this State and the late municipal election in Richmond. These two events have, roused prejudices and strength? ened the hands of the radical mem? bers of Congress, who are opposed to having the Southern States represent? ed in Congress now under any cir cumstanees, and, correspondingly, weakened those who wish to see civil government speedily restored throughout the Union. The election in this Statelias alarmed many, and given rise to a suspicion that there is a faction in tho South desirous of re riving tho slavery agitation, and that those facti?nists aro only keeping dark un|il the Southern States shall have boen fully rehabilitated and re? stored to their proper functions, in order to show their hands and throw down thc glove for another crusade upon the slavery issue. The oppo? nents of the Constitutionaj|bAmend ment in this State boldly took thc ground that the "negro question stands yet unsolved." The whole contest here on one side was carriec on upon that issue. The opponent! of the amendment shouted abolition, abolition, ABOLISTON, as though abo lition was not an accomplished, ai irreversible fact; and talked anc acted and voted just as if slaven were not dead, and might yet bi saved. This was a base fraud, a dis honest, vile imposture upon th people of the State. We told then that a vote against the amendmen would be a 'challenge in favor o slavery, and would react most disas tfously upon every Southern State The evidences of this are beginnini to be apparent. Every Souther: State will feel and regret the effect of the imposition that has been prac ticed in this State concerning thi Constitutional Amendment. Th Richmond municipal election wa also most unfortunate. It may b said that that was a small affair; bu who does not know what mighty rc suits have their origin in causes th most insignificant? j To counteract tho effects of th election in this State and of those c the Richmond election, in respect t the admission of Southern delegate.' the utmost circumspection will be rt quisite. To secure such admissioi four things at least will, in our vie of the subject, be indispensable: I. Th? ratification of the Constiti tional Amendment by the rcspeetn States lately in revolt. II. The election of men to Coi gress by the people of these Stat< who were originally opposed to si cession, as evinced by deeds an words. HI. The election of such men a in addition to the foregoing, cece] in good faith the inexorable fact thi slavery has been annihilated, as a unchallenged and unehallengeab truth never again to be called j question. IV. Undoubted, outspoken, pr sent loyalty, without equivocation < mental evasion on tho part of tl persons elected, besides what are er braced under the other three head We believe if all these conditioi are found to have been complied wit by the respective Southern Stat and people when their Senators ai Representatives shall present ther selves for admission to Congress, th a majority will be found ready admit them in both houses, especial as the claims of the delegates wi under such circumstances, undoul edly be backed by the powerful pc sonal and political influence of tl President and other important offici personages, and the entire oonserv tive press of the country. If the conditions arc not substantially fi filled, we fear that the Southern re r^sentatives elect will in vain prese i heir credentials to the National Co gress.-Louisville Journal.

THE MISSOTJBI TEST OATH.-Father Miller, a Cathohc priest, residing* in Jefferson City, Missouri, has been ar? rested and held to bail in the sum of four thousand dollars, for persisting in preaching without taking the oath prescribed by the new Constitution.

Bishop Meade, of Virginia, in his address to thc Episcopal Convention of the State, now in session at Rich? mond, has strongly urged re-union with the Northern wing of the i Church. The committee appointed j ? to consider the portion of the ad- j dress referring to this matter, present- j ed a report, which was almost unani- i mously adopted by the Convention, j commending the conciliatory and fraternal course proposed, and refer ring the subject to the next General I Council. The Rev. Mr- Newman, of New j York, who waited on the President 1 ! the other day, to see if he could not get permission to retain possession of j a certain church edifice in New Or- I leans, which he had occupied "since j the time of General Butler, was for merry pastor of the Fourth Street j Methodist Church in New York. Ho is said to be quite* disgusted at the President's refusal to acquiesce in his request, and to have already written to his friends in New York that "the war is a dead failure." The European capitalists spent Friday, 22d, in viewing the objects of interest at and in the vicinity of. j Niagara Falls.
