Telegrapii. Congressional. WABHINOTON, January 15.-In the House, to-day. Mr. Howard presented the cre? dentials of the Representatives elect from tho ?Sta to of Arkansas, which, on mo? tion, were referred to the Committee on Reconb I ruction. A proposition was mad.? to permit tho negroes in the District of Columbia Jto decide by ballot whother tho whito mau m that District should be entitled to vote. It received only twelve votes iu its favor. Mr. Stevens offered a resolution instruct? ing the Committee on the Judiciary to con? sider and report upon the expediency of so amending the Act of 1863, in relation to the test oath, as to permit lawyers to practice their profession on an equal foot? ing with other professions, without taking said oath. The resolution was adopted. The House then resumed tho considera? tion of the biU in reference to granting the right of suffrage to tho negroes in the District of Columbia. In the Senate, Mr. Howard offered a joint resolution, declaring that, whereas it appears by.the report of the Secretary of War that Jefferson Davis and Clement C. Clay are held in confinement as having been concerned in thc assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and also for the murder of Federal soldiers held as prisoners of war, the committee to whom said report was referred be instructed to recommend that they bo immediately tried by military commission. The resolution was objecte i t >, and was laid over for future consid?ra? it jn. SPECTACLES FOB HOBSES.-The United States Gazette relates the fol? lowing incident: A gentleman had an old and valued horse whose sight was defective. For some time past the quadruped evinced a tendency to stumble, and to strain his sight at objects close to him, in a manner that set the kind hearted owner to devising a remedy. The gentleman judged that with a pair of spectacles the horse would do as well as when in his prime. An optician ground to order a pair of pebble glasses, about the size of the object glasses of a large lorgnette. They were fixed in a frame over the horse's eyes. That animal is now a horse in spectacles, and not an elderly gentleman ever yet showed a greater appprcciatiou of the convenience. When in the stable the spectacles are removed. A COTTON-PICKING MACHINS.-Un? der free labor new and better methods for cultivating and investing staple products of the South are likely to be invented. The West Tennessee Whig already announces the inven? tion of an implement, or machine, which, if it is found of practical use, will be worth nearly as much to the cotton States as Whitney's cotton" gin. It is 'a machino for picking cotton, and from its workings it is stated the instrument promises to be a perfect success. The hope was to have the machinery ready by the last of cotton-pioking this year, and to have it in perfect order by the time the next crop invites picking. This has heretofore been considered im? possible. .--- - - SUIT FOB DAMAGES.-Gen. Frank Blair, on the 3d, before leaving St. -Louis for Cincinnati, entered his action in the Circuit Court against Messrs. Ridgely and Thomson for ten thousand dollars damages. The gen? tlemen who are made defendants in this suit were judges of election in the Sixth Ward, and refused to allow Gen. Blair to vote unless he would take the oath prescribed by the Con? stitution. FATAL ACCIDENT.-On Saturday lfi^t, as Mr. Thomas McDonnell was engaged in painting th? inner saloon of the Victoria Hotel, the staging gave way, and he was precipitated a distance of eight feet, his head strik? ing against some bricks, causing the fracture of his skull and almost in? stantaneous death. Mr. McDonnell was about thirty-six years of age, and leaves a wife and two children to mourn his loss.-Charleston Courier. The Galveston JWews has been fur? nished with an account of the new steam plow recently invented by Robert Crewzbar, of Austin. With two hands, it will thoroughly culti? vate one hundred and twenty acres of eotton, including the breaking up of the soil, and much other necessary work. Corn and wheat may be cul? tivated by this machine in a very su? perior style. CoL J. O'Fallen, an old citizen of Jt. Louis, died recently, aged seven ^five years. He was worth $5.000, and has been ?minent for lib?r? alit? and public spirit. The deceased was! a nephew and aid-de-camp of Gent; George Rogers Clark during the ?early Indian wars, and aid-de? camp* also to Gen. Harrison during the late war with the British and In? dians. It is stated that when Hon. Henry J. Raymond was delivering bis great conservative speech on the floor of the House, in favor of supporting the .wise and conciliatory policy of the President towards the South, that the leading members of the radical party continually interrupted him with malignant remarks and ques? tions; doing all they could to confuse him. A new sect has lately sprung up in terlin, Prussia, the Cognates. They established a magazine bearing je followinng motto: "Our know sdge is our faith; our dignity is onr rnor?fity; our worship is life; our religion is our secret. " It seems lo be a kind of mental, moral and religious Ld Ik. Fs aro selling large mun? itions in Louisiana for Prospects in Texas. From the Houston (Texas) Tele? graph we clip the following statement of the agricultural prospects in that State: We hear of a great many contracts having been made for the next year. In fact, we believe that more than half the agricultural freedmen in this lower country have engaged their homes and will be ready to go to work after the holidays. Contracts are various. Some are for a specific monthly pay, also clothing, food, doctor's bills, an acre of land, and Saturday afternoons; others tor spe? cific monthly wages, without anything but board ; others for a share of the crop, and others still on wages now, and so much a hundred for cotton picking. Some pay monthly; others quarterly; others the first quarter's wages at the end of six mouths, and balance at the end of the year. Some furnish clothing and medical attend? ance, and charge it against wages. In fact, no fixed rule has been made, and the matter, ns it should be, is left as much as possible to the iaw of supply and demand. Those who are undertaking the I plantations are mostly their owners, though we hear of large farms being rented both by Northern and South? ern men. One Northern man has taken a place of 1,000 acres, and em? ployed 140 hands to work it. A friend of ours, who has planted all bis life nearly, has taken three plantations, and contracted with all the labor he wants for them. These encouraging facts show that the agriculture of the country is not to be given up without an effort; nay, more, that the experiment of work? ing freed negroes on plantations is to be tried in all ways. From the differ entmethodsof employment, it is to be hoped and believed that the best will be discovered. To this end, we shall be glad to receive as frequent reports as possible from the planters in all parts of the country. Wo shall bo glad to know how the negroes are working, how they settle difficulties, j what remedies are employed for mis i behavior, and what thc promise is of the crop. The future is anything but promis? ing, save in the fact that our people do not despair. So long as they keep up good courage, and lay hold of thc difficulties with spirit, there is at least all the hope possible in the circum? stances. That so many are confident, is (tonged sign. - We are glad to soe capital from anywhere, North or South, engag?e in our agriculture. There is room foi all; whoever succeeds best will bc en titled to the credit of it, as well as tc the enjoyment of his profits. I things work favorably the cominj. year, these profits will in many in stances swell to fortunes of them selves. COTTON AND SUGAR IN MEXICO. Maximilian is making great efforts tc secure a sugar growing and cottoi? cultivating population in Mexico The New Orleans Bee has the follow? ing interesting facts: On all sides agricultural colonie: have sprung up, and are in prosperou; progress. Six haciendas, (a huciendi is an estate often containing 30,001 or 40,000 acres,) in the imm?diat neighborhood of Cordova, have beei subdivided and allotted among th. recent emigrants from Europe. Tw< vast plantations of cotton have beei established by Mr. Wood, of Alaba ma, upon the Rio Verde, and pro mise an abundant crop. The officia journal contains an application o M. Gil for permission to rent th stock of Mesquite! to twenty Belgiai families. It produces one hundrei fold of corn. Senator Gil adds: Mr. Terry and family, with ten othe persons, have arrived. They wer officers of the Confederate arinj They desire to obtain a large exten of county- suitable for the productio: of cotton, sagar and corn. They hav been offered various locations, an there are many persons who take deep interest in securing the succ?s of this colony. M. Jimenez ha imported 500 European laborers wit their families. He will settle thei upon the hacienda of Santa llosa. IMPORTANT MILLER'S INVENTION Mr. Clinton lloberts, miller, i Greenfield mills, in this County, ht invented, and secured by patent, most valuable improvement in mil ing. It consists of a device whic completely regulates the burr whi grinding, takes the place of tl lighter screw, and effectually sav< loss in grinding by preventing tl burr from risiug too high or sinkir. too low. It is a self-regulator of tl burr-the burr being balanced on scale beam. By this means grei uniformity in grinding is secured desideratum always acknowledged 1 millers, and which is essentially nece sary in manufacturing high grades < flour. It is also claimed for this ii vention that it is a great labor ar time-saver-that it is unnecessary watch the burr, or pay any attentic to it after starting tho mill, to si that it is not raised too high by tl heating of the spindle supporting i Frederick (Md.) Citizen. .- ?? -- An editorial in the San Anton (Texas) Herald urges, with a goc deal of plausibility, that the debt that State shall not be repudiated, < the ground that there is nothing o pressed OD the face of any Treasn ' warrant i?.sued by the State ai Tex I that the debt was created for t ' benefit of tao Confederacy. A TVew Mode of Dealing with Fire?-. "Extincteur" in England. We are more or less familiar with the history of the improvements made in the direction of extinguishing fires. The old hand-bucket was superceded by the hand-engine, and this, though made very effective by the thorough organization of the workers, ha3 in turn been forced to yield to the supe? rior qualities of the steam fire engine, whoso usefulness has recently been much increased by the fire alarm tele? graph, which enables the force to concentrate on a conflagration in a j space of time surprisingly brief, i All these appliances seem now i about to be thrown into the lumber ! closet, by one of those contrivances whose very simplicity endorses it as that aim of perfection so nearly allied in appearance to the simplicity of ignorance, yet so widely different in its results. It is not improbable even that the long array of ladders, and fire escapes, and ropes and axes and hooks, in use in some places more plentifully than with us, will ulti? mately be thrown aside as useless, thrown out by the invention recently made. This is nothing more than the dis? covery of the fact that water charged with ten times its weight of carbonic acid is a complete extinguisher of fire. The compound is cheaply made, and used with facility, being put into a sm;di reservoir, which a man carries easily on his back to any place re? quired, without more hindrance to active exertion than that caused by carrying an ordinary knapsack. Ar? rived at the place of action, all the fireman has to do is to turn a cock, and direct the jet by means of his flexible tnbe and mouth-piece upon the fire, the machinery inside giving the power of a force-pump capable of throwing the jet forty feet high. Thc material is as harmless to health, life or property as any ordinary seidlitz powder, is ready for instant use, and the longer it has been stored iu the vessel the more effective it is in action. The idea is believed to have origi? nated with a Mr. Amsden, of Liver? pool, Englaud, who has also invented a machine for using it effectually, and instituted numerous experiments with them ir the presence of the town authorities of Liverpool, London and other places. We clip the following account of one of these trials from the London Morning AdvertLw: A square 'rame-work of rough tim? ber boards, equal in size to an ordi? nary cottage, open at the top, and with a doorway also open at one end, was plentifully stored with staves of tar barrels, slabs o? old dry timber, loose straw and hay, and over all tar. turpentine and petroleum ( ivhich water does not touch at ah when in flame) were plentifully poured. This mass of easy ignitable and combusti? ble material was set fire to, and within one minute the flame went high into the air, and the heat was so intense that the numerous company ot gen? tlemen who had assembled to witness the experiment, hastily retreated to every available corner to prevent their faces from being blistered by it. Four of the extincteurs were then set to work, and it seemed for about a minute and a half as though the experiment would be a failure, and almost immediately afterward the flumes subsided, and within five mi? nutes from the time the fire was kindled, it wai completely extin? guished by only four of these engines, and had the bearers been able to ap? proach it nearer in a shorter time than they were able, from the extreme heat and intensity of the conflagra? tion, there can be little doubt that it would have been subdued in less time. But it is obvious that in ordinary cases it would not be necessary in dwelling houses, chambers, ware? houses, or docks, to have recourse even to such means, and that at the first alarm of fire one of these port? able engines, carried to the spot, would extinguish it almost instanta neously. The English papers speak of the invention os meeting with great favor, the patentee being in receipt of nu merous orders. The Oldham Chroni c?e says : "We understand that several emi nent shipping houses have ordered c supply of these portable engines fo: their vessels. The engines range ir price from ?2 12s. 6d. to ?4 10s., in creasing in price 10s., according t< size and capacity; and the cost of tin "charges" increase at the. rate of ls for each addition to the size of tin engine. It is very elegant in shape and might easily be manufactured ii styles that would adapt it us an orna ment, either to the dining or drawin? room, and thus confer on every pri vate family of moderate means th inestimable blessing of security fror one of the greatest calamities tha can befall them, a disastrous an fatal fire. " CURIOUS PRESENT.-We read in th Washington Star: One of our consuls in England hr. sent to the State Department a som< what novel article, which is to be pr* sented to the Presielent. It seems t be a device adapted to indicate th English opinion on American affair! and consists of two stone rings linke together, cut from a solid piece ( sandstone. The rings arc about te inches in diameter, and contain tl following sentence, carved and paint* on their sides : " The ljnk of the pei pie, North and South, should I Unity, 1865 !" A correspondent writing from Hunt ville, Ala., says the people there ai well supplied with money. The London Times publishes a letter from the Superintendent of tho Atlantic Telegraphic Company, announcing that the Great Eastern ?will positively sail in Jnue, 1S66, to lay the new cable and take up the old one, -which is ascertained to be in the most perfect order by the daily test taken from the time it broke, and which will be continued daily. "GONE TO THE DOGS. "-The histo? ric vessel, the "Trent," associated with the seizure of Mason and Sli dell, has not long survived the American war. At last accounts she was at the Islo of Dogs, where she was to be broken up. Her career is ended. A HEAVY ROBBERY.-On the night of the 6th instant, the Adams Ex? press car, on the New Haven Railroad, was entered, one of the safes blown open, and over a half million of trea? sure stolen. Three persons have been arrested, and about three-fourths of the money recovered. Gen. Barnes, who won his star by his bravery in twenty pitched battles and sieges, has worked as a journey? man printer, since his return to Bos? ton. Recently, however, he has been given a place in thc Boston Custom House. The Galveston Bulletin notices that FI number of United .States troops are passing en route to the Rio Grande. There has been a general decline in dry goods and groceries at Galveston and Houston, while cotton, c pecially the superior gracies, has adv. need. A high wind which pre\ tiled in Queen's County, Ireland, short time since, blew the thatch 1 om the cottage of one Patrick Mnrp y, aud revealed to him a horn fille . with 4,000 guineas and several fcianish dollars. The currency bureau has b ?. n re? ceiving lately an immense amt ?nt of counterfeit fractional currency prin? cipally of twenty-five and fifty cent ilenominations. The bo^us seems to be lately increasing. FROM LOUISIANA.-A party of ne r?roes on the Red River rose on the 2d, and tried to murder their overseer, but failed. Subsequently they were captured by the military, together with several accomplices. Major-General C. W. Field, late of the C. S. A., is now principal of an academy at Versailles, Woodford County, Kentucky, " teaching the young idea how to shoot" in a peace? ful way. The ??rmsi? ?f. Representatives con? sumed the whole of Saturday irrKi discussion of the bill proposing to confer the right of suffrage upon the negroes in thc District of Columbia. Accounts from Bordeaux mention that the port is nearly filled with American ships, which will take away a great part of the wines of the pre? sent year. The "local" of the Galveston Neies, of a late date, thus sums up the news of the day: "No robberies, burgla? ries, murders or such like little mat? ters of interest. The town is dry." Utah is likely to be admitted as a State at an early day, with the prohi? bition of polygamy. What will Brig? ham Young do with his hundreal wives? It is estimated that the cost of re- ! pairing the levees between Vicksburg and New Orleans will amount to $10, OOO.OOO. Gerrit Smith has commenced his libel suit against the Chicago Tribune, laying his damages at fifty thousand dollars. The New Orleans Times is the largest paper in the world. It has sixteen pages, with ninety-two co? lumns. Government have contracted for 20,000 barrels of flour at prices ranging from $10 to $10.50. Large quantities were offered at these rates. Tho Treasury Department refuses j to settle any cotton or other claims from the Southern States until after Congressional action. The recent freshets have so exten? sively damaged railway communica? tion in Georgia, that it will probably be sixty days before it can be restored. Thomas Carlyle completed his seventieth year on the 4th instant. He dined with some literary friends on that day, and was in excellent health. One petroleum company in New York has declared dividends to the amount of eighty-two per cent, sineo June. The resignation of Major-General Kilpatrick, appointed Minister to Chili, and Gen. J. D. Cox, Governor elect of Ohio, have bee;: accepted. New York financiers think gold will be down to 130 before the encl of this month. Josh Billings says he is astonished that, lying being so easy, so few are engaged in the bnsiness. The profits of the London Times are $3?0,000 per annum-but then paper is lower there.
