WASHINGTON, December 13.-In tho
Senate, Mr. Davis offered a resolution, de?
claring that, whereas there is no longer
any existing rebellion, tho writ of habeas
corpus is restored in every State. The
resolution was referred to the Committee
on the Judiciary.
Tho Senate also amended and passed tho
Houso resolution, providing for tho ap?
pointment of a joint committee to inquire
Into the condition of thc States of the late
so-called Confederacy, and report whether
any aro entitled to representation in Con?
gress.
In tho House, Mr. Raymond presented
tho credentials of the members elect from
Tennessee.
Mr. Stevens objected, saying Tennessee
was not known to tho House. The objec?
tion was overruled. ,
Several gentlemen advocated tho admis?
sion of tho Tennessee members. Their
credentials vero referred to tho joint
committee to inquire in the condition of
tho late Confederacy.
WASHVSOTON, December 14.-In tho
United States Senate, Mr. Guthrie pre?
sented a remonstrance of certain citizens
of Louisiana against tho reception of
Messrs. Hahn and Cutter as Senators from
that State.
Mr. Weldon called up a bill to repeal all
laws in the late insurrectionary States
barring distinction of raco or color; pend?
ing the discussion of which, tho Senate
adjourned.
lu the House of Representatives, Farns?
worth moved to refer Ids resolutions claim?
ing that colored soldiers are entitled to all
tho rights and privileges of American
citizens to the Senate Committee of fifteen.
Charles, of New York, objected, denying
that tho negro can be tho equal of tho
white man. The House concurred in the
Senate's amendment to the joint resolu?
tion for the appointment of a select com
mitice of fifteen to consider tho condition
of the Into Confederacy. Both Houses
passed a bill prohibiting the importation
of cattle, to prevent the spread of tho
cattle disease.
THE CONDITION O: ALABAMA.-In
a speech recently made in New York
to a meeting called for the purpose
of considering the granting of aid to
the Southern States, Gov. Parsons
said that Alabama, having a lighting
population of 1)0,000, furnished 122,
000 soldiers to the Confederates ;
35,000 died iu battle or from wounds
and diseases, and a large proportion
of those who returned, come back
broken or disabled by wounds which
renders them unlit for active service.
The while population of that State
was 52?,000, according to the census
of 1SI?0, and at! the same time Gen.
Wilson invaded it, the State was feed?
ing 138,012 women, children and
others. Of the black force were
440,000 who were supplied with food
and everything necessary for sub?
sistence physically. The State had
appropriated seven millions of dollars
for the purpose of procuring relief
for the whites. The wealthiest had
but little meat. For want of atten?
tion, and from drought and tho idle?
ness of negroes, the State is now left
with one-fifth of a eorn and small
grain crops. Unless relief was fur?
nished there would be heavy suf?
fering.
J. P. BENJAMIN.-The following
singular statement is made by the
London correspondent of the New
York N~ctrs :
"Mr. Benjamin claims to be a na?
turalized citizen < f England, on the
ground that his grand-father was a
British subject, and that according
to tito law of England the revolt and
treason of thc father does not affect
his descendants. I ain inclined to
think that this is bad law, and that
Mr. Benjamin will have to reside in
England for tho usual time before he
eau obtain letters of naturalization.
Meanwhile it is said that he will
commence to keep his terms for the
purpose of being called to the bar."
In Marietta, the oldest settlement
in Ohio, the bell in use on the court
house is the ono presented by that
unfortunate Queen, Marie Antoinette
of Franco, after whom the town was
named. The . bell is held in g?-eat
esteem by tho citizens.
General Beauregard.
A Paris journal, tho Avenir Na?
tional, has lately been endeavoring
to make people believe that General
G. T. Beauregard was to succeed tho
late celebrated General Latuoriciere
in the service of the Pope. Thc ex?
cellent weekly, the Renaissance
Louisianise, has gallantly taken up
the cudgels against its Parisian eo
tcrnporary, whom it accuses of select
ing Beast Butler for a military beau
ideal ; and declares that Beauregard
is not a whit lowered in the esteem of
honest meu for seconding a cause
which, though beaten, was the cause
of his country and his State.
A New York paper, the Echo
d'Italia, has also come to the rescue,
and mercilessly assails the French
slanderer of Beauregard. The Echo
says : "The Paris National inculcates
the belief that thc victor of Bull Bun
and the defender of Charleston fought
only to perpetuate negro slavery, as
Lamoriciere fought for the slavery of
white men. But Beauregard, from
his own declaration made iu 1861,
j drew his sword in a cause he considcr
I ed just, and for the independence of
I States which thought they had a right
? to be free. In that cause ho mieriticed
! everything except his honor as a
I soldier and his dignity as a man ; and
as such he is honored and respected
by; all, even by his adversaries, in?
cluding tho. President himself."
Thc defence of thc Echo was un?
solicited, and the writer a stranger to
Gen. Beauregard. The General deem?
ed it incumbent on him to acknow?
ledge such disinterested kindness, and
addressed a letter iu French to the
editor of the Echo, which we translate
as we find it in the columns of tho
Renaissance:
NEW ORLEANS, NOV. 18, 18G5.
MY DEAR SIR : I bog leave to thank
you for your article of the 27th Oct.,
in reply to an ungenerous attack upon
me by the Paris Avenir National, a
paper which ought to be satisfied
that I am not a soldier of fortune.
When my native State, Louisiana,
required my services, I drew my
sword without hesitation, as a son
rushes to rescue his mother from the
torrent, without thought of his own
safety.
At ono time, in order to escape tho
hatred of Northern fanatics, I thought
of seeking a refuge in Brazil, but the
generous sentiments expressed by
President Johnson toward the South?
ern States have persuaded me, to?
gether with a great many other Con?
federate officers and soldiers, to re?
main in Louisiana. I prefer to live
hers, poor and forgotten, than to be
endowed with honor and riches in a
foreign country. With sincere re?
spect, your obedient servant,
G. T. BEAUREGARD.

CIIAW/ESTON, December 14.-Since our
last weekly statement, there has reached
this market 291 bales of Sea Island cotton,
of which 228 were received by steamer from
Florida; ami 2.203 bales of upland. During
much of the past week, thc tone of tho
market has boen weak, ami such opera?
tions as havo taken place wore generally
in consequence of tho parties being anx?
ious to realizo; and tho priced obtained
were about 41@12e. for middling; 43c. for
strict middling, and 44@45e. for good
middling. This was about the condition
of the market on Tuesday and Wednesday.
On Thur day morning, later European
news was published, announcing an ad?
vance of LJd. in the Liverpool market. I
This information unsettled prices-holders
generally demanding an advance, but while
in a few casus it was contended that better
prices were obtained, it was the general
opinion that the operations yesterday had
not established higher prices, ar. V as the
market, is unsettling we omit quotations.
Sonio 70 tales of Sea Island have changed
hands during the week, an?! in a few cases
of superior small parcels an advance in
price was obtained. Wu quote the market
for low grades at $lr?($ls70 per pound.
