13 y" Tolegrapti. Congressional. WASHINGTON, January 22.-Mr. Stevens, from tho Committee on lteconstrnction, reported a joint resolution to amend thc Constitution by providing that representa? tion and direct taxes Bhall be apportioned among the several States which may bo included within tho Union according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, and excluding Indians not taxed: Pro? vided, That whenever thc elective franchise shall be denied or abridged in any State on account of race or color, all persons of such race or color shall be excluded from thu-basis of representation. Mr. 1 toge rs, of New Jersey, declared thc proposed amendment contrary to thc ?iriuciple npon which tho Govornment is ounded-namely, that representation and taxation must go together. A vote will be? taken to-morrow. From Mexico. NKW ORLEANS, January 22. -Accounts from Brownsville to the 15th instant have been received. Bagdad in nearly deserted, and plunder? ing is going on uninterrupted. A small force of Libcra's is fortifying it with cotton bales. Crawford has left for New Orleans after rein forcements and supplies. Gen. Giles Smith has had a communica? tion with Gen. Mejia iu respect to the latter mounting guns which commanded Browns? ville. It is believed that a belligerent com? munication has been received. Mejia is trying to make another forced loan. Americans visiting Mat auroras are looked upon with distrust. Gen. Weitzel reviewed the troops at Brownsville, on the 14th. All iu good heath and spirit?. Interesting from Texas. "We see by the San Antonio papers that the 3d Michigan Cavalry had mutinied, and that their camp had been surrounded by other troops at daylight. 100 of the insurgents have been captured. The alarm was very great. Thc accounts are very confused. [Flakes Galveston Bulletin, IWi. Yesterday several officers and men from the Federal side of the Rio Grande crossed at Clarksville during the day, and took up quarters iii Bagdad, apparently for the night. Shortly after midnight, the guard at the ferry and along the river were surprised, captured and disarnled by the party above mentioned. Such lighters as were at hand were imme? diately taken possession of, and with them nearly the entire military force were crossed over in two separate bodies, making in all some 400 men, mostly negroes. The garrison of Bagdad, contain? ing about 175 men, were completely surprised and captured. The commander of the post and the captain of the port were taken prisoners while in their beds. It is said that the latter was killed and the former made his escape. Of the truth of this there is doubt. ' Upon taking possession K>i the town, the work cf pillage and plunder was im? mediately inaugurated. Every light? er in thc place, some thirty in number, was taken possession of, and as ra? pidly as each warehouse could be gutted its contents were loaded up and immediately crossed to the Ame? rican side. The gun-boat Antonio was called upon to surrender. She answered their demand with a broad? side which scattered the filibusterers in a hurry. Shortly after a second demand of the same nature was made, which was answered in the same manner with a like result. She is now on lier way np the river. Ono Austrian sergeant on the Antonio was killed at daylight. The French men-of-war in the harbor opened fire, compelling the fillibusters to take refuge in the upyer part of tho town. The deaths are reported to be about thirty on each side. It is stated that the fillibusters were under the command of Colonel Reed, and that one R. ('lay Crawford, being at Brownsville, upon receiving information of the capture of Bagdad, started down for the scene of action, post haste. Mexicans, the invader is on your soil with hellish designs and plots damnable; let him be welcomed "with bloody hands to a hospitable grave." As tho steamer Alabama was leaving on the 7th, it was reported that 'Jen. Mejia, with 1,200 troops, was march? ing on Bagdad, and that the fillibus? ters had evacuated the town. Since the above was in type, we have learned that despatches have been received by General Wright to the effect that, after the capture, the Mexican General Escobado, and tho filibuster Crawford, went to Bagdad, and quarreled as to whom had com? mand, each officer taking his own ad? herents. In the meantime, pillaging and plunder were continually going on to such an extent that the officer in com? mand at Clarksville was requested to send over a guard to keep the peace. He accordingly sent over 200 men, who held the town, protecting private property.-Ranchero, t>lh. , The Bil) fixing the legal rate of in l terest at ten per cent, has been passed \ hy the Georgia Legislature.

He also adheres to his determination not to allow his naruo to be used in connection with the vaoany in tho United States Senate. France has uow seventeen large amers running between merican continent rs pass through Senator Cha.miler's Resolution on Our War Claims Againstls|uMi lu tbe Senate, on Monday, Mr. Chandler, of Michigan, offered a re? solution to tho effect that, as the diplomatic correspondence with the Government of Great Britain in rela? tion to the demands of our Govern? ment for damages committed on Ame? rican commerce through the agency of British subjects, or, in plain words, tho marauding career of tho Anglo rebel pirates, has resulted in the re? fusal of the British Government to satisfy om demands, the President be requested to withdraw our Minister from the Court of St. James and make a proclamation of national non iuteroourso with Great Britain. We dare say that tho introduction of this resolution was intended to give some definite expression, through the mouth-piece of Congress, to the opi? nion which is known to exist univer? sally with the American people upon this question. It ./ill no doubt be received in England as another evi? dence that we do not intend to be trifled with. We (Slink that we already observe some signs of a disposition on the part of the British Government not to permit any causes of quarrel to exist. The London Times takes some trouble to show that France would be seriously perplexed to preserve her stability and her institutions in case of a war with this country on the Mexican question. If France is in danger from such a collision, how much more so is England? Her com? merce is larger and more exposed upon thc seas. We could do more damage to England in a three months' war than we ever could to France. Her merchant marine is, in a mea? sure, at our mercy, and if wc were disposed to quarrel with her, her boasted supremacy on tho ocean would be of short duration. France has less to lcrso in this respect; and, all things considered, England has more to fear from a war with the United States than France. France, for example, has no Canadian pro? vinces. France has no Fenians; no Ireland on her border in a condition of perpetual discontent and periodi? cal insurrection. The warning, there? fore, which the London Times pre? sents to France is quite as applicable to England herself. The manner in which the Times speaks of this country, in connection with thc President's message, would intimate that a more friendly feeling toward this country prevails under the influence bf the new ministry, and we are not probably much at fault iu assuming that Lord Claren? don has inspired that sentiment in a great degree. His amiable feelings toward the United States are well known. He has always manifested the kindliest sentiments toward this country. Unlike his predecessor in the Foreign Office-Earl Bussell Clarendon ia a statesman endowed with broad and generous ideas. Therefore, we are disposed to attri? bute his part in the controversy with Mr. Adams to a conviction that he had a cause to defend in which neither his head, his heart nor judgment was enlisted, and he was glad to abandon it, leaving the subject to stand upon the grounds upfm which his prede? cessor had placed it. There is an incident in connection with the change of the tone of the leading British newspaper toward this country which is not without signifi? cance, and, as a matter of historical interest, is worth dwelling upon. It has beeu stated in some of the English newspapers, the Manchester Guar? dian among them, that Mr. Dehme, the leading editor of the London Times, had resigned his position in consequence of a certain new policy adopted by the proprietors of that journal; and, as Mr. Delano was known to be bitterly hostile to the United States, and an ardent friend of the rebellions "Confederacy," it may be assumed, perhaps, that tho new policy of the Times, representing that of the British Ministry, has a friendly tendency toward this country. We are the more disposed to regard such a condition of things with satis? faction, from the conviction that there is no disposition on the part of our Government to surrender one jot of our just claims in the matter of the privateers Alabama and Shenandoah; and the indications that the British Government is inclined to settle all questions amicably, if we read the signs aright, are, therefore, worthy to be regarded as of some importance. [Nsw York Herald, -?-?Si The Lancaster (S. C. ) Ledger men? tions that the business of making contracts between the whites and freedmen has been very brisk for the hast week. The headquarters of the commanding officer is literally be? sieged with whites and blacks, on this and similar business, from au ecrly hour in thc morning until late in the afternoon. The negroes now mani? fest as nni?h concern and zeal in looking out for homes and hiring themselves as they, a short time ago, evinced in trying to set up on their own account. Christmas and New Year having passed away, and no? thing having happened, they see and feel the neoossity of seeking employ? ment ?as a moans of avoiding starva? tion. , GEN. BUTLER'S DEFENCE.-We un? derstand, says the New York Post, that Gen. Butler's reply to Gen. Grant is nearly finished, and will soon appear with the imprint of a New York publishing house. It is said to contain some sharp hits. r \ COMPENSATION FOB WAR LOSSES. Some time ago we called attention to a movement made in Congress touch? ing the clairns for losses inflicted during the war by the Federal troops on peaceable citizens of the South. Mr. Delano, a member of the Com? mittee of Claims in the House of Representatives, has brought up the subject of those losses in a spirit which is certainly extraordinary when it is recollected that Congress holds, in relation to them, tho character of a high court of last appeal. Speak? ing apparently on the part of his committee, he says that "the attempt to indemnify the numerous class of claimants would requiro more money than the revenue of the nation could at any time satisfy. " He, therefore, adds that it "seemed to tho com? mittee that the House should deter? mine whether such claims should be assumed." In making this sugges? tion, however, he does not allege, positively, that tho number of claims actually presented point to any such apprehension; but, on the contrary, confesses frankly that he is unable I to state the amount of destruction which may be made a basis of de- I mands for compensation. In at? tempting thus to place Congress in thc position of refusing to pay just claims upon it because, forsooth, for all Congress knows to the contrary, these claims may possibly overrun the means of payment is, we submit, the suggestions of a flagrant dis? honesty. Tho losses for which compensation may be properly demanded by people j at the South, do not constitute, as Mr. Delano appears to think, subjects of Federal "charity!" The benevo? lence to which he refers in the matter, has nothing to do with the disposition of thc claims under consideration; they are neither more nor less than demands of right and justice. . [New York News. The attention of the colored por? tion of the community is earnestly in? vited -to the order of Col. Kozlay, published in to-day's issue, in which he informs them that unless they make contracts or are properly engaged in some occupation by the first of Feb? ruary next, they will be arrested and put to work on the public roads. The freedmen of this District, from all we eau learn, are behaving re? markably well, and have shown a general desire to go to work and earn a livelihood for the coming year, but of course there are necessarily some idle ones congregated about in canq>s and wandering about the country, and we cannot conceive of a better decision than that of making idle and bad people work the miserable and impassable roads for the good and industrious people who are en? gaged in useful and legitimate em? ployments. - Orangeburg Times.

Tho movement in gold yesterday amounted to over $400,000, at Tuesday's quotations 35@3G. The telegraphic advices of a still further decline at New York had no effect whatever on tho market. Foreign exchange exhibited a slight re? action, and rates, towards tho close of the day, showed an improvement of per cent., but the movement was of a restricted character throughout, and tho market closed quiet at 48(<$4,J for bank sterling, 4G4@474 for clear bills, and 45?46 for bills with documentary o-videnco attached; 3.75 @3.7G.jf, for hank franca, and 3.80(7?3.85f. for commercial do. Domestic exohangc was quiet, but steady. Tho aggregate sales showed a falling off as coniparod with Tuesday's report, but there waa nevertheless a full average day's busi? ness transacted, at 1 per cent, at bank, and 14@li per cent, discount, out of doors, for sight "checks on the Northern cities, and corresponding ratos for short sight and time drafts. Sugar and molasses have boen inactive for a few days past, owing to thc limited character of the supply. Sales yesterday included only some small lots of both at previous figures. Flour and grain aro in good supply, and very firmly hold at previous prices. Sales yesterday embraced 3,500 to 4,000 barrels llour, and a moderate amount of corn and oats, at fully nrevious figures.

It is, of course, pre? posterous, with 14,000,000 of capital, nearly 50,000,000 outlay for raw mate? rial, and nearly 24,000,000 hands em? ployed, that the raw material was in? creased in value but 400,500,000. This is but $193 for each hand em? ployed, which is probably not more than half the amount paid, leaving nothing for the enormous dividends that were declared. Isn't here something for the Inter? nal Revenue Commissioner to look into? The manufacturers have claimed that they are severely taxed under the Internal Revenue law, and that a high tariff on foreign goods must be levied to put them on an equal footing with the foreign manu? facturers; bid it is veiy evident that they succeed in avoiding a large por? tion of the taxes which the Internal Revenue law imposed.
