SACRAMENTO, December 6.-Di the Senate to-day. Mr. Price? of Sonora, (Democrat,) offered a resolution endorsing President Johnson, which was referred to a commit? tee. Notice was given of a bill to make thc State dues payable in currency. Thc Senate ratified the anti-slavery amendment to the Constitution of the United States. SAN FHANCISCO, December 7.-A slight shock of an earthquake was felt here last night, but no damage was done. Rrtiinidl Confederates and Negroes Butchered. PHILADELPHIA, December 8.-The New York Tribune, this morning, says that East Tennessee Unionists have oeen permitted, by a weak and worthless Union General commanding and a reverend blackguard styled Governor, to butcher not less than ono hundred rebels and negroes in and around Knoxville since June last. Greeley says Tennessee has many staunch Union? ists, but nevertheless is a pandemonium of passion and crime, and not more lit for self-government than Dahomey. Washington Item?. WASHINGTON, December 8.-The official correspondence between our Government and England and France is being prepared for publication. That with England is very voluminous, as it covers the whole question of belligerent rights. Only that -.portion of Cue corresponden ec with France relative to Mexican affairs will be publish? ed, as it is not deemed expedient to make it all public at present. It is announced in official circles that President Johnson is very urgent for the admission of the Tennessee Delegates. It seems Bottled that there will be exception in their case. The Republican Senatorial caucus was considerably divided on the question. Congress is not disposed to make an issue with the Presideni if it can be avoided. The resignation of Benjamin F. Butler, which was tendered to the War Depart? ment, a few days since, was promptly ac? cepted to-dav. This announcement creates a sensation here to-day. Tho Illinois members fix the sum to be devoted to Mrs. Lincoln at $100,000. The ?elect committee raised on the subject will probably recommend this sum. Southern New?, NEW ORLEANS, December 8.-The Louisi? ana Legislature passed the Senate retiolu- | tim against the recognition of Hahn and Cutter as United States Senators. A special committee reported a biU against tho Constitution of 18G4, and pre aented a bill for tho calling of a convention on the 4th of January. Randall Hunt was elected United States Senator to-day. j The Alabama Legislature has passed the Constitutional amendment abolishing slaverv. G. W. Gale, who offered $100,000 Tor the assassination of Mr. Lincoln, bas given bonds to appear when called for. The Houston Telegraph, of the 1st, re gorts the arrest of Mr. Elmore, late of thc on federate Statc.3 army, on the charge of using dogs to catch a freedman, and falsely imprisoning him. Ho was released on bad. Tho receipts of cotton at Shreveport were falling off on account of the scarcity of that staple. At Jefferson, there were 1'2,0()0 bales, and 20,000 more to come in. Thc Matamoras Ranchero, of the 19th ultimo, congratulates the citizens of that place on their bravery during thc last siege, and announces the completo defeat ?of the besiegers. Leading Liberals were accept? ing tilt- amnesty of Maximilian. The telegraph lines are soon to bo ex? tended from Gnanagoa to Tampico and Matamoras. Mr. Halle, a prominent lawyer, and per? sonally intimate with the Mexican side of the Kio Grande, has arrived in this city. He is of tho opinion that the Liberal coali? tion is a failure. Mr. Hallo was in Mata? moras during the siege. Card from the Prrsidrnt of the Fenian Brotherhood. HEADQUARTERS, F. B., New York, December 7, 18(>5. To thc Members of the Fenian Brotherhood: You will have seen in the journals of this date the self-written and self-publish? ed condemnation of ten long-timed mal? contents who have met in this city without logal authority. The existence of so small a number in so large a body as curs should create no anxiety, although it may justify regret. The Brotherhood, by a Congress to be held in January next, will show its capacitv to overcome domestic faction in? stigated by corrupt motives or by British gold, as it bas demonstrated already its power to respect law and further human freedom. British prisons are not secure against us. Local factions must give way. (Signed) JOHN O'MAHONY, President Fenian Brotherhood. A "reliable gentleman" has arrived at Washington from the Kio Grande, who was present at the siege at Matamoras. His account of the behavior of tho Imperial troops is not very creditable to them, ile says they number about 2.00(1, and that thc engagement was a perfect farce. The Liberal party are gathering strength daily, and will soon force the Imperial troops itito the interior. -- The Democrat ic party still lives. The Washington Chronicle, of Monday, says: We learn that tho "Democrats'' ot the Senate und House of Representatives held a meeting on Saturday evening, in one of the committee rooms bf thc Capitol-Mr Winfield, of New York, in the chair, and Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, Secretary. The attendance was not large. MARYLAND.- Governor Bradford has call? ed an extra session of the Maryland Legislature, to meet at Annapolis on thc lOtn of January. Official information roceiTed in Washing? ton, repros cn ts that there will be great suffering in Alabama during the present winter, owing to the small corn and grain crops, the result of tho want of necessary labor, and the severe drought which pre? vailed over most of the productive lands of the State. It is estimated that there are no less than 200,000 persons, both black and white, who must be furnished with food until thev can raise it for themselves. The Freedmen's Bureau, however, is under instructions from thc Secretary of War, taking tho necessary steps to relieve these people as far as pos? sible at au early day. MEMPHIS AND CHARLESTOS RAILROAD. The bridge over the Tennessee River, at Decatur, Tennessee, on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, is under contract, and is to he built as soon as practicable. Transfer at that point now takes place by steamboat. Thus far but about 5,000 cattle have boen slaughtered in Chicago for barreling ?iurposes. At this time last year 00,000 lead had been packed. COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, November 24.-The sales of cotton for the week foot up 53,000 bales, of which 7,000 were to speculators and 11,000 to exporters. The market opened dull, all qualities declining slightly. Subsequently, it partly revived, closing nominally, with a decline of 4d. on the week for American. The quotations are as follows: Fair Or? leans. 22d.-middling, 20d.; middling Mo? bile, 19$d.; fair uplands, 21 Jd.-middling, 19 V. The sales to-day (Friday) were 10,000 bales, the market closing firmer, with an upward tendenev. The total stock in port is 370,000 bales* including 98,000 bales of American. Tho breadstuffs market is dull, with a d? I dining tendenev. Tho provision market is dull and unsettled. LONDON, November 24.-Consols closed at 894(<?89j? for money, The weekly return of the Bank of England shows an increase of ?770,000. Funds continued to exhibit increased firmnoss. American securities continued firm. Gold was flowing largely into tho Bank of England, and on the 23d ult., the rate of discount was reduced from 7 to 6 per cent. Satterthwaito's circular of the evening of tho 22d, says the market for American securities has shown less acti? vity during the past weok than for some time past, the demand for five- twenties on continental account having almost ceased for the present, though the latest quota? tions-63j@63j-show onlv a fractional alteration from last week. Illinois and Erie shares were both neglected until the arrival of the City of Boston, when a de? mand sprung up for Eries, on which they improved about one dollar a share, closing at 55@55i. Illinois shares advancedslightly, in sympathy, and at the last were quoted at 82@824, or i higher on thc week. At the close, there was certainly the greatest dis? position shown by home investors to take American securities, on the expectation that all matters of dispute between tho English and United States Governments will be amicably arranged.

Thursday being a holiday, busi? ness was suspended, and yesterday, while there was much inquiry, holders appeared to bo unwilling to meet buyers, and the transactions were very limited, sellers in most eases having withdrawn their stocks from the market. Although our receipts for the past week show an increase over any previous one this season, there is but a limited quantity placed on the market, most of it being shipped or put into ware? houses to await higher prices. Such trans? actions as havo taken place during the week have been about at thc following quo? tations, which were those offered by buyers yesterday: Middling, 43@44c; strict mid? dling 45c; good middling 40to,47.
