WASHINGTON, February 15.-Gov. Jos. E. Brown and-Judge D. A. Walker have been admitted to the Supreme Court. LONDON, February 14. - The Government has advices of tho landing of two ship loads of Fenians at Valentia. There are wild rumors of thoir intention to cut thc cable. Congressional. WASHINGTON, February 15. -The Senate, ast night, passed the bill authorizing a submarine bridge under the Mississippi at St. Louis. The House struck out whiskey license, leaving it as now. Bingham voted for Stevens' bill, notwithstanding bis op? position to it. Tho movement in favor of Blaine's amendment in reference . ? the constitut ional amendment, wit li universal suffrage appended, is finally gaining ground. Several Republican Senators will help the Democrats to tight the bill to a pocket vote', unless some amendment is added which will take it back to the House. There is really some hope that the bills will go over. As the crisis approaches, Senator.- are becoming serious over the responsibility of favoring the bills. The Senate Judiciary Committee report? ed a bill regarding appeals removing limi? tations in cases arising in rebellious States, and extending the time a year from the pass age-of this Act. A bill was introduced providing for removal to the District Court ol' any ease over $500, when one of the parties lived in a represented State? Wil? liams moved to take up steven.-." bil!. Sum? ner hoped the Louisiana bill would take precedence. Wade favored both, and was indifferent as to which came up first, ste? vens' bill was read. Williams withdrew his am -miment, fearing it would endanger the bil!. He hoped to defer a vote until to-morrow night. Sit wart regretted that Williams changed his mind; he would not vole for it unless amended. JU: did not care if lie stood alone, ile would vole for no bill leaving no escape for the people of the South. Wilson favored the hill as it came from thc House, lb- vegarded thc battle for impartial suilrago as fought and won. Howard object* d because the amend? ment acknowledged the validity of State Governments. Williams moved a recess until 7 o'clock, when bc expected the Se? nate to set until it passed the bill. The House considered thc bounty bill. Hs provisions exclude prisoners who join? ed the Federal army. The bill passed. The estimates of money required to pay bounties range from $230.00u.o00 to $600, 000,000. The committee appointed by the New York insurance companies to devise means for tho prevention of tires, recommend that no risks be taken on buildings used for general storage of cotton for less than six per cent, per annum, unless compe? tent watchmen, in sutiicient numbers, be employed day and night. Tho rate of insurance to be throe per cent, on warehouse property so guarded. Not many moons since, some In? dians who saw several women bap? tized by immersion, in tho river at St. Joseph, Missouri, a hole being cut in the ice for that purpose, imagined that the ceremony, which they could not understand, was to make them good, afterwards brought their squaws, cut a hole in tho ice near by, and gave them a ducking iu spite of their remonstrances. A Broadway boot-maker is advo? cated for the next Mayor of New York, because he has, at bia own ex? pense, cleaned the street from his place of business to the Metropolitan .Hotel. BOYS NOT WANTED.-Gen. Grant has issued a circular saying that here? after boys under the age of twenty one will not be enlisted in the regular army. A young lady in a Boston school, on being asked why, in Latin, winds came to be called masculine, quickly replied, "1 do not know, unless it is because they are so fickle!" The wife of a poor artist died sud? denly at Darlington, Pennsylvania, last week, and it was discovered that she and her husband had been sub? sisting on nothing but com meal. Gov. Brownlow is at Knoxville, in reasonable good health, but full of spirit. - Exchange. The editor doesn't say what kind of spirit.

It is really rather hard that a man, simply because he proved himself a bold rider and a dashiug soldier in the country's service, should be forced to submit to stich an ordeal as that to which General Sheridan was put in the House of Repr?sentatives on Tuesday. Can any thing more undignified and ridiculous be imagined than the spee ? taele of a whole chamber of national legislators deserting their seats and crowding, open-mouthed, about an eminent officer, as thc nurses and the children in the Park might do about a newly-arrived rhinoceros or gorilla? Ovations of this sort certainly cannot be physically agreeable to their ob? ject. To be pressed upon and stared at, te> have one's face breathed into, and one's hand shaken till the arm aches in its socket, by a mob of peo? ple, all, or nearly all, of whom are perfect strangers, is such a refined kind of torture as even the genius of the Inquisition had never hit noon. But, if they do not please thc senses, neither can these ovations Hatter the spirit of any intelligent being. Gene? ral Sheridan knows perfectly well that the Ashleys and Binghams and Ste venses and Grinuells, who made up Tuesday's man-slide upon his own devoted head, would rush in precisely the same way to stare at and gape upon and pump-handle a Daitnio from Japan or an ex-President from Mexi? co, or any other strange and curious political or diplomatic monster whom fate might throw in their way. Ho? mage of this kind is really as insult? ing to its object as it. is descreditable to those who render it. We are informed by the telegraph that, after eating up and pawing over General Sheridan to their full satis? faction, these decorous and respecta? ble legislators pi'oceeded to force him down into" a scat by a desk, and to compel him to dash od' scores ol' au? tographs, as if he were another veri? table "Yankee card-writer" or "Ja? panese Tommy.'" It is to be hoped that, when ho was writing these auto? graphs, the gallant General may have remembered the wise practice of Tal? leyrand, who, whenever ho was re? quested to furnish his autograph foi a collector, always took the precau tion to write it at the very top of i sheet of paper. General Sheridai may depend upon it, that, if he ha: carelessly sigued his name at the bot tom of a sheet of paper, he will, be fore long, be edified by reading, ii radical newspapers remarkable let ters from himself, setting forth view: and opinions such as it has never en tered his head to conceive of.

A newspaper, published at Colima, Mexico, tells the following frightful story, and calls upon the public to punish the criminals: "When General Pueblita entered the town of Ayo, in September last, he exacted a forced loan from the people, and a portion of it fell upon the curate of the place. The curate acted as though he would pay, but he did not make his appearance at the point designated for payment, and General Pueblita ordered him to be arrest? d. A party 01 men went to his dwelling and knocked at the door; there was no answer, and they broke in. They found no one in the house, and were about to leave it, when they heard a frightful voice, proceeding from the ground, saying, "I'm hungry." Thc officer in command went back to Gen. Pueblita, and told him about the voice. The General appointed a a commission to examine the house. This commission went to the curate's dwelling, and, after a careful exa? mination, they found a movable stone in the floor, and under this was a stairway leading down to a vault, which was entirely dark, and had no connection with the air, save by the staircase and a small hole that-served ?is a ventilator. In this vault, they discovered a few articles of furniture and :i woman who had been shut up there for eighteen years. She was taken to General Peublita's quarters. When brought into the light, where she saw a number of persons, she fainted. Alter she returned to her senses, a thousand questions were asked her, to which she replied that she had been buried in that vault foi eighteen yeats, without going out foi a moment ; that she. had been married and had children by her husband, bul she knew nothing of their fate; thal whih imprisoned in the vault, sin had had children by the curate, bul she knew nothing of what had become of these children; and after thal much, became obstinate and silent. While this was passing, a sergeant of the Pueblita Brigade, then present discovered that this woman was hit mother, and she recognized him at her son, and embraced him. Tin sou then ran for the father, who cann and recognized his wife. The hus band, fifteen years ago, was impri soned three years, under charge o murdering his wife, this woman. SURRATT AND TiiK IMPEACHMENT. The New York World, says: One ol' the chief topics of discus sion in radical circles just now is tb arrival of John H. Surratt, who lei Alexandria more than a month since on board the steamer Swatura. Th vessel is now fully a week overdue and some apprehension is expresse for her safety, the more as she i known to be able to carry but con enough to last her thirty days. This however, need cause no anxiety; foi even should her supply of coal b exhausted, she could easily sail nude canvas, and, unless met off the coaf by some severe storm, may be loot ed for at any hour at Fortress Mor roe. The secret of this appreher sion, however, has yet to be told. J is designed to have the trial of Sui ratt play an important part in th impeachment business, and in th way: Some leading radical lawy( (probably Mr. Bingham, of Obit who figured in the prosecution of tl other alleged conspirators,) is to I retained to assist in the prosecutie of Surratt, who will avail himself < this opportunity to rehash all the ho riblo circumstances connected wil the deatli of the late lamented Lil coln. This, it is believed, will revi' the intense popular feeling whic prevailed at the time, and by a seri of well-turned inuendoes arouse prejudice against his successor, an on the strength of both the impeac ment matter will be pushed throng the House at once. Of course tl radical press will do its part this work, to say nothing of tl radical orators, so that you need n be surprised to hear of the forrr impeachment of President Johns? early in March. Tho radicals clai that they have nearly enough vot to pass the measure in tho prese House, but they prefer to wait f the meeting of the next Congress, which they will be a larger popul sentiment in favor of this high-han ed procedure. -? ?? ? ? A man is to be valued above other things for having a back-boi the want of almost every other mei ber may be in some degree supplie wig, false teeth, glass eye, stuff arm, and wooden leg, all may be h for a trifle round the corner; but he is born without a back-bone, y can never put one into him to sta for half an hour as if he had one. Tho people who didn't draw t Opera House all say now that th intended to give a good deal of away in charity, if they .had dra1 it. It seems that Providence ku 'em too well to trust 'em.

The Devil has got into tho Bil House in New York city. 'I World says it is tue headquarters 500,000 radicals all in rank and order to fight for Congress, wh this body impeaches the President Lord Lyona is appointed minis to France. It has been discovered at the Gene? ral Post Office, in England, that many persons in the United States aro in the habit of sending over to that country sums of money wrapped in newspapers. In consequence of tho existence of this practice, American papers are now examined at St. Mar tin's-le-Grand. It is impossible to examine every paper; but selections are made at London, and frequent seizures are the result. There was quite an excitement in Fayetteville, N. C., on the 12th inst., created by :i negro aMremptitig to outrage the person of a Miss Massey.

We have been moved to this undertaking by the solicitations of brethren in various por? tions of this State, as well as of other States, among the readers of thc late Confederate Baptist, and by our own con? viction that a paper of a high character would contribute largely to the intellectual improvement, tho religious progress and the general welfare of thc churches. Tho field is large, affording ample room for all sincere and zealous laborers. Tho Baptist will bo printed on a sheet about twenty-two by thirty-two inches, and will contain* twenty-four broad columns, mostly in Long Primer type, clear and legible, so that it may be read with com? fort, even by the aged. Its entire mecha? nical execution will he of the highest order. Our columns will he 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 yoting especially the child? ren-will not be forgotten; and our vone hle friend, "Uncle Fabian," so well and favorably known to the readers of the Confederate Baptist, will resume his labors in their behalf. Li short, wo possess all the facilities requisite to produce a paper of tho first rank. As such, we oller it to our brethren, ami solicit their generous co-operation.
