WASHINGTON*, February 13.-In the Se? nate, Pomeroy presented a petition of tho Arkansas loyalists, asking an amendment to Eliot's bill so as to include Arkansas. Wade moved to take up Eliot's House bill, hoping the Senators would bc britt in arguments, bane asked to proceed with the regular business. Wade said if the bill wa? not acted on immediately, it could not become a law this session. Wade read a despatch from the Colorado mass meet? ing, requesting admission. In the House, Stevens' bill carno np. He moved the previous question, which was negatived. Stevens then proposed an amendment, which, on objection, lc with? drew, saying he had tried vainly to satisfy gentlemen around him. Boutwcll argued that the Supreme Court might decide that States were still States, and entitled to representation, which would cause a ha? zardous conflict; but. if the bill passed, the Supreme Court would have noGovern ment to re-organize; Congress would keep in its own hands the political re-organiza? tion of their States by passing i.t. 'Stevens' bill, as passed, reads: '-The so-called Con? federate States,'' instead id' "so-called States." COJJLMEK.CIAL. ANJO FINANCIAL. NEW YORK. February 1:1 -Noon.- Stocks very dull.

A S'.".GESTI?N.-Thc "Washington correspondent of the Augusta Consti iutionalist ha;; tho following pithy suggestion : -The new scheme of reconstruction, presented by President Johnson, and opposed by his friends among thc ^fciservative Republicans, has been 'w?t little canvassed as yet. So far, however, as opinions have been ex? pressed among Democrats, they are adverse to it. Many Republicans re? gard it as a surrender to them of the essential points of the controversy; but they do not show much disposi? tion to forgive Johnson for the part he has played. Be it remarked, how? ever, that it would have been very acceptable to the radicals one year ago; just as Johnson's position then would have been acceptable the year before, and so on. Where is this se? ries of ill-timed surrenders to end? If they cannot be stopped, the South had better send their best citizens, with ropes about their necks, to Thad. Stevens direct/and not negotiate with them through the treacherous agency of William H. Seward and his sup? porters. SOUTHERN DEBTS.-The thirteenth report of the Boston Board of Trade makes allusion to the Southern debts. In the opinion of tho Board, statutes of limitation to suits on contracts are reconcilable with justice, on the sup? position that the creditors have had an opportunity to recover of the debtors through the usual courts of law; and that inasmuch as during the late civil war it was impossible to [ take any measures to collect tho debts in question, justice requires the passage of a law exempting suit? ors from the operations of the statutes of limitation of the States of the South for a period sufficient to ena? ble loyal creditors to enforce the pay? ment of their demands. Yan Belmont tells us that Adam was created without a beard, but that, after he had fallen and sinned, be? cause of the sinful propensities which ho had derived from the fruit of the forbidden tree, a beard was made part of his punishment and disgrace, bringing him thus into nearerresem blance with the beasts, toward whom he made his nature approximate. The same stigma was not inflicted upon Eve, because, even in the fall, she retained much of ber original mo? desty, and, therefore, deserved no such opprobrious mark. Yan Bel? mont observes, also, that no good angel ever appears with a beard; and this, he says, is a capital sign by which nugels may be distinguished. THE CHEVES PLANTATION DIFFI? CULTY.-The Augusta (Ga.) corres? pondent of the New York Times speaks thus of this affair: It has been ascertained beyond a doubt that a negro from Massachu? setts, named Bradley, has been the cause of all tho troubles among the freedmen on the Ch eyes plantations, near Savannah, and to quell which it was found necessary to employ a considerable force of United States troops. This Bradley is the same who, a little more than a year ago, was tried by a military commission, by order of General Brannan, for ex? citing insurrection, and was con? demned to a year's imprisonment in Fort Pulaski, but was subsequently released. He desires to be admitted to the bar of this State, but as yet has not been able to obtain the certificate of a Judge of competent jurisdiction to enable him to write attorney and councillor-at-law after his name. From all I can learn about him and his operations, he seems to be im? pressed with the idea that his light will never shine with its full efful? gence until he can become the lead? ing spirit of a negro insurrection, and that to bring about this result it is his duty to persuade the freedmen who have squatted upon estates along the Georgia and South Carolina coast, that the fertile lands which they have made a wilderness are theirs in fee simple; that any attempt to dispossess them and restofe the property to thc ! owners is the treasonable act of thc I President, and that if they resist tin outrage by force and arms, Mr. Sumner, and Mr. Steverns will "soi thom righted." Happily Bradley's machinations have boon frustrated foi the present by the energetic action of tin; Commissioners for Georgi; and South Carolina, and the season able intervention of United State! troops, who coull} not be induced t< listen to Bradley's eloquence. Tin bellicose freedmen have yielded, ant are now, it is reported, making con tracts to cultivate the lands for hire to which Bradley convinced then they had a sort of right of discovery LOOK OUT FOR SQUALLS.-Tin complaint of dull times in busines circles still continues, and no pei ceptible improvement in trade durin? the past week can be chronicled ii this city. Financially speaking now money is "as tight ns bricks," and th prospect of money's continuing i this happy condition, is flattering The climax has not yet been reacher but it is approaching, and sage, ol grey-beards, w ho are wiser than wc point to the vears 1797, 1807, 1811 1827, 1837, ?847 and 1857, whie were all periods of extraordin?r monetary suffering, and predict tin 1867 will be added to the list. TV are told that "the thing that has bee is the thing which will be," an the man who deems that financh ruin and convulsion can be avoide during he present year founds, h opinions in the teeth of history an in face of ominous facts. The a] pointed time for wide-spread distre is coming-surely and remorseless coming-and whether the navigah sails in a ti^y or monster clipper, 1 would be a fool not to trim his era to meet the bursting tempest." The Richmond Times says: " would be singular, indeed, if mon? were easy and people prosperou while Europe is getting their gol the United States Government ? their greenbacks, and while Secreta McCulloch and the National Bani in obedience to the laws of Congres are contracting the currency 1 spasms so convulsive, that each o threatens to bury us in irretrieval ruin." If "what is to be will be" and thc monetary troubles are to visit us ] gularly every ten years, no financ strategy or flank movements c protect us from tho assault-it v> be delivered, and we must meet with prudence, courage, wisdom a economy of all our powers of endi ance.- Wilmington Dispatch. THE PnorosED COMTBOMISF..-T compromise plan concocted by Mess Orr, Sharkey and other Southe Governors, with the reported conci renee of the President, finds no livi North or South. The few Southe journals that have been heard fri on tho subject fell back upon th "honor," as an obstacle to any c< cession. "It is not for us to mi offers," they say, in the language the Richmond Whig: and they ^ hear of none made in their beb; The Northern Democratic press, w few exceptions, are silent. rJ Union journals, on tho contrary, prompt and positive in their ju mont. The Springfield Republi stands alone in wishing "success thc new movement." Others cognize its significance as a sigi receding irom the position hi thc obstinately held hythe South; beyond this, and apart from lite publican, not a single organ of Union party has published a sylh in its favor.

Tho Home prisoners are still con? fined at the Federal Barracks, and though repeated efforts have been made to secure their release on pa? role, we regret to learn that all have failed.

The field ia large, affording ample room for all sincere and zealous laborers. Tho Baptist will bo printed on a sheet about twent y-two by thirty-two inches, and will contain twenty-four broad columns, mostly in Long Primer type, clear and legible, so that it may bo read with com? fort, even by the aged.

Our columns will bc enriched by corres? pondence and contributions from the other Southern States, and, occasionally, from Europe and our missionary stations abroad. The entertainment and instruc? tion of the young-especially the child? ren -will not he forgotten; and our vene hle friend, "Uncle Fabian," so well and favorably known to tho readers of thc CoTifederate Baptist, will resume bis labors in their behalf. In short, we possess all the facilities requisite to produce a paper of thc lirst rank. As stub, we oi?er it to our brethren, and solicit their generous co-operation. The Baptist will be issued as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers have been secured. TERMS- S3 a year, payable on the recep? tion of the lirst number.
