By Telegrapti. Piom thc Rio tirando. NEW OIILEANS, January 23.-Thc Times' Brownsville correspondent says that Corte? ?as occupied Bagdad with 2(H) men. lt is understood that Gen. Weitzel dis? approves the action of our officers on thc recapture of Bagdad. .Vii the heavy ordnance hos been ordei cd from Brazos to Brownsville. Preparations of a belligerent character continue, both at Brownsville and Mata moras. The liaiicJtcro says that Canallo has is? sued a proclamation to his soldiers, ad? vising them to submit to the Imperial authority rather than unite in filibustering expeditions with tho Yankees. A large number of colored-troops arc being mustered out. Orders have been re? ceived for thc muster out of nearly all of Gen. Clark's command on the Bio Grande. Four companies of colored troops arc doing provost duty at Bagdad. No one is allowed to leave town without a pass. Congreasiomn.1. WASHINGTON, January 23.- Thc House resumed the consideration of thc Constitu? tional amendment fixing the basis of repre? sentation. Mr. Stevens wished to bring thc House to an immediate vote, but was defeated by bis friends, who, not understanding thc ex? act effect of the proposition, desired fur? ther time for examination aud debate. A discussion ot several hours duration ensued, during which various amendments were suggested, in order to prevent the Southern States from cutting off the ne? groes from voting, by requiring of them property, educational or other qualifica? tions. Thc Senate was engaged in the discus? sion of the bill to enlarge the powers of the Freedman's Bureau. No vote taken. WASHINGTON, January 24.-In the Senate, Mr. Wilson ottered a joint resolution to propose an amendment to the Constitution prohibiting any payment by Congress for slaves or for debts contracted in behalf of thc rebellion, which was referred to the Judiciary Committee. The bill for thc enlargement of the Freedman's Bureau was taken up and dis? cussed until tho adjournment. Tho House resumed the consideration of the proposed Constitutional amendment fixing the basis of representation. A new amendment was offered, proposing to ap pGrtion thc representation aceordingto the basis of voting population. No vote was taken. The billin relation to negro testi? mony passed a second reading to-day. The report of the commission ap poin?ed by the Provisional Governor in pursuance of a resolution of tho Convention to frame laws for tho government of freedmen, was read in the House of Commons of North Carolina on thc 24^h. It provides, among other things, that the freed? men shall testify in all cases wherein the rights of property or person shall be directly'concerned, either civilly or criminally. By this means this cjass is protected against personal wrongs and against violence, threats, and frauds on their persons and rights. The report specifies some thirty sections dedicated to freedmen; and, beside this, eight bills affecting both classes of the population. It recom? mends the establishment of a work? house in each county for the idle va? grants, and others who will not sup? port their ?wn offspring. These pro? visions are without distinction of color. Many provisions are designat? ed to encourage field laborers of all classes, white and black, by securing the reward stipulated for labor, and to prevent and to discourage all law? lessness over the lands of others. The avguments for every provision are ex? tended for the calm consideration of the Legislature. CHOLKUA IN THE WEST INDIES.-The Charleston Courier announces tho alarming intelligence of the appear? ance of cholera in some of the West India Islands. The disease is reported to have broken out in a violent form in Guadaloupe, and it is said to have made its appearance at Barbadoes. In consequence of the epidemic, the Legislature had re-assembled, and tho authorities had taken counsel to adopt measures to meet the emergency. A law was promptly adopted for en? forcing quarantine, and placing funds at the command of the Executive. Later advices from Pointo-a-Pitre state that the population of that place has been reduced nearly one-half. Peoplo were Hying in all directions to escape the plague, which was spread? ing rapidly to all the districts. SERGEANT THOMAS O. L. BUT LEU. This gallant and noble youth fell at the battle of Gettysburg; his remains were brought to Greenville and inter? red in the Episcopal Churchyard on Saturday, the 13th inst., after the performance of the funeral services by Rev. T. S. Arthur. He was the son of Dr. Wm. Butler, now deceased, and of Mrs. Jane T. Butler, tho latter of whom is now residing at this place. He well sustained the virtues of a heroic family, >vho, for several generations, have been dis? tinguished. Grandson of Gen. But? ler of revolutionary fame, nephew of Commodore Oliver H. Perry, of Gov. Pierce Butler and of Hon. A. P. Butler, and a brother of Gen. Galbreath Butler, of Edgeiield. Peace and honor to his memory. I Greenville Mountaineer. A NEW WASHINGTON STYLE.-In de? scribing a reception at the White House, the Star says : "A peculiar style of wearing the hair, last evening, among the ladies, Avas a subject of mneh comment, and the remarks were, for the most part, altogether in its favor, as a becoming substitute for the waterfall. The hair was allowed to fall its full length, without fetter or bond of any description, and was thought by many to be the most graceful stylo the ever-changing du? ress fashion lnjis yet presented to lie patronage " emotives ?re used in Paris to tCxtro. vaga ncc of tbc .Women. lu an article on retrenchment, a thing imperiously demanded by these times, the Charlottesville Chronicle, < with a reckless bravery unparalleled in the late war, makes an onslaught Upon fem?le dress. It declares that the number and quality of products a womau has ou her back is prodigious. It enumerates all the articles of the female wardrobe with a particularity that can only bo the result of long and careful observation. Itsays that, to rig out one young woman, there must be an elegant pair of shoes, silk stockings, kid gloves, a bonnet, which is a world in itself ; pomade, teeth plugged, combs, hair-pins, hair-net, rouge, starch, sozodont, cologne, car rings, brooch, chain, crinoline and linen, flannel, finger-rings, fan, brace? let, watch, collar, cuffs, parasol, and the main dress itself. Add cloak, furs, over-shoes, sea-foam, balmoral, loco, pocket-handkerchief, gold pen? cil, porte-monaie, brade, lace, cord, buttons, flowers, feathers, beads, spangles, ribands, roseates, buckles, furbelows, tucks, flounces, embroid? ery, etc.,* etc. Thc Ch run ivie demands to know whether women were intended for all this ornamentation, lt asserts that one-third of their lift; is taken up in buying, preparing und talking over their dresses; that among themselves the" subject of dress is almost thc ex? clusive subject of conversation, which cannot bc true in thc neighborhood of Charlottesville-for some days at least after the appearance of this ar? ticle. It is the opinion of the Chroni? cle that about one-fourth of tl^p time of the human race, and, perhaps, one fourth of their earnings,'arc devoted to the dressing of women. It is es? pecially indignan tab out bonnets, and .insists that th?; Roman ladies never dreamed of bonnets. It believes that a respectable female may be dressed, for one year, for about 815; whereas, they average about $150. At least $600,000,000 a year would be saved to the country by the enforcement of sumptuary laws, compelling the wo? men to be economical in dress. In short, wc should judge, from tho' Chronicle's article, that " Man's dress is of man's life a thing apart - 'Tis woman's whole existence."' We trust the women will now pro? ceed at once to reform, retrench, pay off the national debt, and save the country. Nothing of the kind can be expected of tin; men. Wc have always regarded the female sex, com? pared to the male, ?us a cheap insti? tution. A man's hat, coat, breeches and boots cost more in general than a woman's clothing. Moreover, the men drink whiskey, smoke segars, chew tobacco, and cat voraciously. There arc as many male as Female spendthrifts among tin; young men and the young women ol' fashion. When women marry, they generally outside the great cities at least -east off their extravagant follies and other nonsense; whereas, men exchange their juvenile wild oats for polities and other expensive luxuries that cost the country a good deal more than all the dress expenditures of the women. Politicians involve a country in debt and war, and then? the women arc called upon to go bareheaded, and dress like Pocahontas, in order tc foot the bill. Wc concur, however, in the vital importance of retrenchment by both sexes. Men and women arc both spending a great d' -,1 of money use? lessly. There is' a.. immense outlax upon superfluities, ami unless greatei economy is exercised, the tunes, hard os tliey are, will become infinitely worse. No one should think now ol appearances. There is ?is much ne? cessity now for rigid economy as ir the Confederate times. The ladies then showed themselves capable o! self-denial in dress, table and furni turo, ?ind they have only to realize that tlie necessity for retrenchment ii as great as ever to set an example that tlie men will do well to follow. THE PRESTOEKT AND THE SUFFRAGI Brm..-There remains little eloub that the President will veto tlie negri, suffrage bill if it readies him in it; present form. So well understood ii his intention te-day, that some of th? Senators hesitate to pass thc bill ii that body. Many Republicans win voted for thc bill as it passed tin House say that they were forced t< do it by the tactics of tbeDemocrats who voted against recommitment They did not wish to be put in ? position of appearing to oppose ; qualified extension of suffrage. Who effect the veto will have upon tb future relations between thc Fresi dent and the Republican party is matter of interesting speculation. WHAT THE evniEn SIDE SAYS.-Th statement made in sevei-al papers t the affect that the President will vet any bill granting thc right of suffrag to the colored people in this Distrie are wholly unauthorized by him. I Cor. New York Tribune. -< <e ? ? THE NEW YORK ATB LINE.-Th special House committee on the ni: line railroad, from Washington t New York, adjourned List Friday i meet in two w eeks, to enable existin routes to prepare statements showirj tlie inexpediency and unconsliti tionality of granting any charters i< such a purpose. New Orleans, after thc 1st of Marc;] is to be lighted by three thousand pi troleum lamps. The charges ot tl gas company ?ire considered excessive Many English merchants and bani era ?ire said to have ?igentsengageai i the South, selecting cotton lands. \ ; NKGBOES.-The Constitution of tho State of Indiana, adopted in 1851, contains the following sections: 1 'No negro or mulatto shall come into, or settle in, tho State after the adoption of this Constitution. 4'All contracts made with any negro or mulatto coming into tho State con? trary to the provisions of the fore? going section, shall be void; and any person who shall employ such negro or mulatto, or otherwiso encourage him to remain in the State, shall be fined in any sum not less than $10, nor more than $500." lt follows that titles of negroes to property are good for nothing. The above sections were adopted by the people of this State by about 90,000 majority. How are they respected? The Southern negroes are pouring in here, forcing our white laborers to wander the streets in search of em? ployment, and at the same time they are purchasing real estate with money they stole before leaving thc South, thus injuring the property of whole neighborhoods. The people on Ten? nessee street drove them from build ing a nuisance iu thc shape of a church on that street. Let the pcoplo wake up on this subject, or tho city will be well nigh ruined. Was it to bring such a population here to drive white citizens out of employment that our one-armed and o??ivlogged soldiers, which daily excite the sympathy of every oue on the streets, went into tho war and became crippled for life? . \huiianapolis Sentinel, 15th. NEGRO-MANIA.-We have heard an Abolition fanatic in America assert that Jesus Christ was a black mau. We have read a speech of Ralph Waldo Emerson, in which he declares that John Brown has made the gal? lows as glorious as thc cross. Wo have seen a couple of negroes, as black as the ace of spades, dining w?th a couple of white men at a Slttall table in the coffee room of a well known hotel not far from Trafal? gar Square. m In the al fresco balls of Paris, it is not uncommon to see a wooly-headed blackamoor waltzing in "fond embrace" with thc fairest and frailest of the belles of the demi? monde. We have heard the whining of Exeter Hall over the crushing out of the black-rebellion in Jamaica; and we have read a recent pamphlet openly describing and advocating the blessing and the bliss of miscegena? tion! But more disgusting still is a sight by no means rare in Regent street. -The tableau is composed of a fair and fragile-looking blonde of "sweet sixteen" hanging on the arm of a big buck nigger, wit h a nose as flat as the head of a catfish, and lips as thick and leathery as a rhineoceros! It is said; but no-let the curtain fall. [ London Cosmopolitan. TUE HOMESTEAD OP HENRY CLAY. The Ashland estate, consisting of 325 acres, was, 'on Friday last, sold by Mrs. J. B. ('lay to John B. Bowman, Regent of tho Kentucky University, for tho sum of $90,000. lt is de? signed by the purchaser to transform it into the Agricultural College of Kentucky. Possession will bo given immediately. From the War Department records, it appears that over $301,OOO,(MK) have been paid by Government in bounties to volunteers in the late war. Tho total number of men who enlisted was 2,401,000, of whom about 731, 000 received no boujity from tho Na? tional Government. A serious affray, <>f a political char acter, occurred a few days since at Richmond, Ky. The families of Parrish and Kavanagh were the prin? cipals. Some sixty persons partici? pated. One man was killed and three supposed to bc mortally wound? ed. Others were seriously injured. GEN. GRANT'S NEW RESIDENCE. The arrangements aro nearly com? pleted for Gen. Grant's removal from Georgetown to the residenco he recently purchased in what is gene? rally known as the "Douglas Block." The furniture from his Philadelphia mansion has been transferred to this one. Wm. Graham, of Nashua, Chi ca? sa w County, 111., has suddenly found himself worth 815,000,000. lt comes from his great grandfather's estate in Scotland, which was sold many years ago, thc price brought having since accumulated in the Bank ol' England. The Press, of Vienna, states that a letter was found recently in one of the post office boxes addressed to "Tho Infant Jesus in Heaven, to be given to St. Peter." It contained the prayer of a child to have a great many presents at Christmas. UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.-A busi? ness letter from the President of this institution informs the Columbus Enquirer that this University opened with a considerable number of stu? dents, and that everything bids fair for a most successful session. A bill is now before tho Pennsylva? nia Legislature proposing to change the legal rate of interest from six to seven per eent. per annum, and allowing eight per cent, to be charged by special agreement between the parties. A famine in Bengal, where tho soil yields two crops a year, aud it is said that the return of a rice crop is often equal to seventeen times the crop of cultivation, seems almost im? possible, but there is one. The pea? santry are eating leaves. COMMERCIAL. AND FINANCIA I.. AUGUSTA, January 23.-Wo netico a de? cline of l@2c. iu tho price of cotton since our last report.

A NEW DODGE-LOOK OUT FOB "MUZZLEKS."-" Garroting" having to a certain extent gone out of fashion, the "clyfaking fraternity" have adopted a new and more dangerous substitute for relieving pedestrians of their'valuables. The modus ope? randi is tims described: "Muzzlers" stand ou comers, ap? parently skylarking among them? selves. Suddenly one of them falls dowu and rolls himself against the pedestrian, who also must tumble. At first the latter'deems it an acci? dent, but soon realizes the desperate object of thc tumble. The man who rolls against tho pedestrian is soon on top of the latter, when he is down, and ?fe quick as a flash places his hand upon his face, presses his nos? trils together with his thumb and ringer, and covers his mouth with his hand. His cries are thus stifled, and the unfortunate pedestrian is almost smothered. Whilst this is dom; by one, the others go through the man's pockets and rifle them of their con? tents. This takes some three or four minutes, during which time the victim's breath is shut oil'. When the muzzlers get through, thc* victim is so used up, exhausted and uncon? scious that lie is unable to give an alarm, let aloin1 pursue the robbers. He is obliged to lay there a few mi? nutes, until he recovers himself, which allows the muzzlers an oppor? tunity to escape. MARRIAGE OK THE WIDOW DOUGLAS. -The Washington Star, ol' Tuesday evening, says: "The fashionable circles of Washington are just now very much interested and excited over tin; soon to take place wedding of Mrs. Stephen A.

Mrs. Douglas is not more signally oui; of the handsomest and most brilliant women in America than Major Williams is one of the finest looking and most fascinating men in the country."
