The day is observed as a holiday. No markets. Congressional. WASHINGTON, February 22.-In the Senate, Yates presented a petition from 4,000 citizens of Charleston asking a Territorial Government. A bill extending agricultural col? leges to Tennessee has passed. Thc House amendrr nt forbidding Con? federate professors was stricken mit. The bill transferring lud?an affairs to the War Department was nega? tived by 13 to 24. A Committee of Conference was asked for. The bill for a mail between San Francisco and Honolulu was passed. In the House, the Speaker directed thc Door-keeper to exclude from the door all but privileged persons. Thc House went into a Committee of the Whole on the tax amendment re? moving the cotton tax after Septem? ber 1, 1807-passed by 63 to 54. Thc South Carolina murder com? mittee have reported, strongly ques? tioning thc action of Judge Hall, who released the alleged murderers. The report asserts that O. H. Browning, for a fee of 81,000, made argument before the President, urging that the prisoners bc brought within the reach of habeas corpus in a Northern court. The report also says that neither ma? gistrates or judges are disposed to do their duty with respect to punishing crime; that there is no change for the better, but rather for the worse. The committee suggests military trial as the only practical cure for thc alleged evils. DISFRANCHISEMENT IN TENNESSEE. - The New York Times, of the 19th, takes from a cotemporary the follow? ing fact, which it says illustrates the operation of tho disfranchising prin? ciple in Tennessee. It would not be difficult, we believe, to find hundreds of similar anomalies under the work? ing of the system in force in that State: "A firm in Nashville, one of the largest and most respectable mercan? tile houses in the West, paying an? nually many thousand dollars of taxes, has, including clerks, six per? sons employed in the concern be? sides the porter, who is a negro. The latter is now tho only one of the whole concern who is allowed a vote under the present Brownlow Con? stitution.^ The point of the joke is, that the M'gro was the bitterest rebel of all, and was an officer's servant in the late rebel army, and when fight? ing by his master's side, he was the third man over the ramparts of Fort Pillow, where ho fell like an aveng? ing thunderbolt upon the negroes who so gallantly surrendered that Stronghold." -< - Gov. AIKEN'S OPINION.-A de? spatch to our Northern exchanges "Cov. Aiken, who has just re? turned from Washington, says thc South will be. territorialized in less than two weeks. He says that the President is utterly powerless. The South can only remain passive. He also thinks thc President will be de? posed and Senator Wade put in his place, but that the President will re? sist to the last extremity. He thinks Orr's Southern programme will have no effect on the Republicans, and says they will be satisfied with no? thing short of universal suffrage, with a view to counterbalance the opposition North and South."' -- - The editor of an Arkansas paper found among the pine woods of that State a two-year old baby which weighs 125 pounds. Patti gave a dinner to young Ben? nett, in Paris. COMMERCIAL. AM) FINANCIAL. LIVEKI'OOIJ, February 22-Noon. Cotton declined '-d. -middling up? lands 13?4d. Sales last week 07.000 bales.

The Memphis A valanche indulges in tho following bit of sentiment: '.Late at night, while the fire and lamps burn low and dim, we lay down No. 10,032, Volume LXVUI ol th - Nnlioni tl Intelligencer, and lean bael: to think, overcome by the many memories which its familiar caption calls ip. "We have read it constantly for thirty-two years, minus thc four bitter years of civil war, and had the good fortune to know its old editors, Joe Gales and Wm. W. beaton, both great and good num. now numbered with the dead, but of immortal me? mory. Not only of these princely geutlemen does thc Intelligencer re? mind us, but of many, many another whom we were fortunate in knowing, and whom the country has lost Webster and Clay and Crittenden; Dawson, thc Commodore, of Geor? gia, peerless at the dinner table; Busk and Houston, Floyd, kindest hearted of all living men; that noble gentleman, Butler, of South Caroli? na, Prentiss, worthy to be called Chrysotern, golden-mouthed, and not only beyond comparison the most eloquent, but the most genial and generous of men; large-headed Tom Corwin: Keith, gallant and good; Badger, wise beyond other men, of admirable wit, and always enamored of tho truth; Sevier and Douglas, Clemens and Quitman, with many a dear old familiar face of others loss known to fame and even more be? loved, crowd around us as we write; the dead mingling with the living. Porter, of thc Spirit, and Inman, thc artist, and glorious John Brougham, and Alexander Dimniitry, large souled as one of Homer's heroes and wise as Plato; Breckiuridge and Bonham, Boyce and Robert John? son, four men of like princely na? tures; all'these, and many like these, wo met at Washington in the bettei times, when thc Senate of tho United States sat in the old chamber, and that city was the capitol of both thc Northern and the Southern States. Ehen, fugaces.' how the years drifl away, and we become, garrulous, anc; forget that the long list of names, and thc memories they call up, o: 'the reflections of the gods' and timei gone never to return, and scenes al ready dim as they recede into tin past, have interest for no one bu ourself! Nevertheless it is written it is a cry from the heart. Let i stand. Thank God, neither powei and malice can confiscate and sell fo coin to knaves the happy or the sat mementoes of the past." THE NEW PLAN OK RECONSTBUC HON.-ACTION OE THE STATE OF ALA BAMA.-In the Alabama TTouse o Representatives, on the 18th instant Mr. Morse, from the Committee oi Federal Relations, to whom was rc ferred the special message of the Go vernor and accompanying documents made the following report, whicl was unanimously concurred in: "The Committee on Federal Bela tions, to whom was referred the Gc vernor's Message, on Friday, Febm ary 15th, 1S<>7, and the accompany ing documents, havo had the sam under consideration, and have in structed me lo make the followin report: Thc Committee entertain high rc spect for thc eminent authority froi which the proposition uv der eonsidc ration has emanated, and they hov given the subject that serious an calm consideration which its impoi tance demands. And while the stand ready to compromise the un foi t?nate differences existing betwee the Federal and State Government upon equitable and constitution, principles, and are willing to yield a that should bo demanded ot' an hoi orable people, yet they aro unable t perceive any sound ami valid reaso why this General Assembly shoul submit the proposition referred t to thc Congress of the United State They therefore believe that it is inc: pedient for this General Assembly t act in reference to cdt her of the pri positions contained in the doci ments which ae.-ompany the me sage of his Excellency thc Govern? of Alabama, ami so believing, tin have instructed me to report the san back to the ?louse with a reconnue: dation that no further action bc take in the premises. " A GREAT MISTAKE.-We now ai then, says the Louisville Courier, s expressions which imply that tl South alone is to be affected by ?. various schemes of reconstructio and, accordingly, that she should allowed to make np her mind in t case free from the influence of d cussion elsewhere. This is a gre mistake. The winde country is to affected by the overthrow of t equality of the States which the \ rious schemes of reconstruct! equally involve, while Maryland, a: Kentucky, and Missouri, and Tc nessee arc to be affected also by t immediate sacrifices which t schemes impose. Every citizen tho country, no matter where dwells, is deeply interested in t rejection of these schemes by t j South, and, if he is sensible of j own interest, is bound to exert hi I self to secure their rejection. I j exertion is not an impertinence oi j liberty, but a duty. He cannot i I gleet it without culpability. j My opinion is, said a philosophi ? old lady of much experience and c ; servation, "that any man as d j upon washing day does it out of pi ? spite." Thc Dignity of Labor. Tho Loudon Times alludes to the general riso of prices as one of the characteristics of the present genera? tion, and adds that nothing has risen in value so much as man. lt declares that at this epoch there are no glut? ted labor markets and over-stocked professions. There is a dearth of applicants for employment, anti the sume dearth of applicants for admis? sion to the old liberal professions indeed, in all inferior callings down to that of domestic service. This re? sult is attributed to an extraordinary multiplication of demand, and an equally remarkable modification ol social opinion. The Times says "The time was when there were only three recognized liberal professions. Wo might now reckon thirty, ano what is of still more importance, an} one of those is thought just as libe ral-that is, just as becoming to : gentleman as any other. Nov.-a days, young gentlemen go into count ing-houses as readily as they wonk into the guards, and are though none the worse of. There is an im meuse field of employment, and m pr?judice to interfere with anybody' choice. Tin; necessary eonsequene is that all old callings suffer a little and those most in which there wa least natural attraction." Such, adds the Richmond Whig are the results of the multiplication ! of industries and a high industria development. The world over, ther is a demand for intelligent labor, air when it can employ itself to most ac vantage without incurring soci: ostracism in the physical calling, a distinguished from those purely mer j tal, we must expect these latter to b i shuuned. lt is gratifying to witn?s tho triumph of educated labor ovt hoary prejudices, and to see that ii telleot and energy, untrammeled b I social restraints, are allowed frc scope and a field for selection limite only by the almost innumerable pr j sent avocations of life. It is to edi I cation, to science, that we are ii [ debted for these almost countle inventions that have made machine: supply thc place of human mnscl and have left man to supervise ai direct it. The re-productive pow thus created is wonderful to eontei plate. Machinery makes machiner and thc more there is created, ai the greater its capacity, the more e tended will be the sphere for hum labor, the greater the demand for the richer its rewards, and the mc respectable and influential it 1 comes. Physical science is making t world, as it were, a new one, and breaking down class distinctions a social prejudices, and elevating m above mere calling and professio: The time is at hand when man mal tho occupation honorable, and i the occupation the man.

Willis, und is ad? dressed to his friend and partner in publishing the Home Journal, "Six. Phillips: SU E BOOM, IDLEWILD, December 4. L866. LEAK PHILLIPS: The promptness and efficiency and devotion with which you sprang to my side, on the doctor's announcing me a dying man. at my city lodgings, wen; memorable indeed. You got me home ou that beautiful Sunday as few. except a "ministeringangol," could have done thc kindness. 1 ..m not suffering at present: but my paralysis has gradu? ally crept from my legs upwards to my lungs, and 1 am unable to sit erect without fainting. I am still very much as usual in the brain. With a fearful storm raging in the Highlands about me, I am thinking how you are "making up" without me at the office, and wishing I were a "wee" bit nearer to yon. My friend? ship with you, which I cherish so pleasantly, stands a chance to bc thc last fully intellectual act of my life; yet it is by no means a novelty. When I found dear old Morris loving you. and making you his private sec? retary and literary assistant, ten years ago, I adopted you as a crea? ture to be loved, and I have found you io be a man singularly modest, ami curiously unappreciative of many good qualities in yourself. 1 think, for an editor, your capacities an; ex? cellent. There is no better appre? ciator of a good thing, moral or in? tellectual, statistic or witty; but as a business friend and partner, you arc invaluable. 1 am gratified to have lived long enough to get you fairly into harness, as a well-developed partner and co-worker. 1 could have wished for more-but, alas! for this fragmentary life, it is hard to bc taken soon enough; it is hard to bc left long enough. I am writing this, half dead and half alive, by the hand of my atten? tive and sweet wife, and it is not to be published while. I live. But you will be at liberty to refer Io it and print it, post mortem. God bless you, my dear friend. Yours faithfully, thus far. N. P. WILLIS.

' PROSPECTUS TIII? BAPTIST. TTTE PROPOSE to publish a WEEKLY VV PALER, devoted to the diffusion of the principles of religion and the interests of tho Baptist denomination. 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 tho late Confederate Baptist, and by our own con? viction that a paper of a high character would contribute largely to ?beintellectual imorovement-, the relian.no progress and the general welfare of the churches. The field is large, affording ample room for all sincere and zealous laborers. The Baptist will be printed on a sheet about twenty-two by thirty-two inches, and will contain twenty-four broad coluains. 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 hoof the highest order. Our columns will bc enriched by corres? pondence and contributions from thc 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 n->i be forgotten; and our vene ble friend, "'Uncle Fabian," so well ani' favorably known to the readers of the Confederate Baptist, will resume bis labors in their behalf. In short, we possess all the facilities requisite to produce a papei of the tirst rank. As such, we offer it to our brethren, and solicit thiir generous co-operation. The j;,y>li.<t will be issued as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers have been secured. TERMS W a year, payable on the recep? tion of the firs! number.
