December 5.-The National Assembly effected an organisation by re? electing President Qreevy and Vioe-Pre eidents of last year. As the l?gally elected re presch tat i vea o? the people, |be statua of the Orleans Princes pro? mises to be one of the leading questions bofore the Assembly. Bills restoring to them their confiscated es tates, and all their rights as citizens of Franco, aro preparing, and will be introduced ac an early day. It is anticipated that tbe measure will give risc to long and excit? ing debates. The extreme lett wing will mee|: them for proposais of general amnesty, which, setting free the thoa sands pf Comma nita still held prisoners io tba hoiks and elsewhere, will be con? sidered only an equitable compliment of the act of justice proposed to the House ot Orleans. The President, with his well-known cautiousness, hesitates to commit himself on subjects so productive of agitation. La R?publique Francaise, a Radical organ, says the Left will not take the initiative in moving the return of the Assembly and Government to Paris, but there is no reason to doubt that the removal will be effected during this session of the Legialuturo. A do? oroo appears this evening, appointing Mr. Balron Ambassador to the German Empire, to reside at Berlin. . LONDON, December 5.-A memorial to the poet Cowper, to be erected at Berok hamstead, is contemplated, and subscrip? tions from the admirers of the author of the ."Tasks," in the United States, are desired.

HAVANA, Deosmber 9.-Moreno, suc? cessor of Roberts, has assumed the Go? vernorship of Havana. Official tele? grams from Madrid deny the report of the removal of Yalmaseds. The tele? graph line between Los Timas and San? tiago de Ouba, so long interrupted by the insurgents, will be working again in a - few days. The line between L ta Timas and Gibara, via Holquin, is al? ready prepared, and a working line from Puerto Principo to Guaymara is nearly a finished fact. These linos have re? mained undisturbed after once in work? ing order, and this is considered positive proof of the decline of the rebellion.' Several prominent insurgents have sur? rendered, among them General Oarnelio Parro and Yarana, and the two Ricas. Others have issued manifestoes at Puerto Principe and other places to their coun? trymen, saying the revolution is finish? ed, and calling on all to lay down their arms. Manifestoes recently issued by insur? gents have been extensively circulated, and have good effect. It is reported that Urquiza has also surrendered. This is considered very important. Ur? quiza was the suooeusor of the noted re? bol leader Pancho Yego, who was inca? pacitated for service. It is reported that Yego made his escape to Jamaica. The only body of rebels of importance re? maining near Los Timas is commanded by Yinoent Garcia, who, it is represent? ed, has 250 men. Eight columns of troops are pursuing Garcia. The public confidence of the city is being restored, and the people are pleased that Valma soda is to remain Captain-General. ST. Louis, D eoe mb er 5.-The river is chocked below. The ferries have stopped here. NEW YORK, December 5.-A prisoner lu Jefferson Market police station was ' frozen to death, last night. The jailors say applications to the authorities for fuel are disregarded. The steamer Anglia is quarantined with small-pox. ALBANY, N. Y., December 5.-Judge Leonard, in chambers, to-day, heard the argument on motion to reduce the bail required of Tweed. Hon. John A. Rey? nolds and Mr. Slaughter appeared for Tweed, and Charles O'Oonor and Hon. S. J. Tilden in opposition. WASHINGTON, December 6.-Wall's Opera House was burned this morning; loss 850,000. In the Senate, concurrent resolutions oalling Col. Saunders, of North Caroli? na, and Messrs. Camp and Gist, of South Oarolina, to the bar of the Se? nate, for contempt, wont over, under the rules. In the House, resolutions calling for information regarding Cuba and the pa? pers in Gen. Snell's military commis? sion, were adopted. The Senate cauousses appointed a committee of five to nominate commit? tees. It seems probable that Morton will succeed Cameron, as Chairman of Fo? reign Affairs. NEW YORK, December 6.-The severe cold continues, with a high gale last night and this morning. Matamoros specials of the 2d, say Travino, the rebel General, took Saltillo; loss on both sides heavy. The Govern? ment still holds the French fort on the outskirts, but the rebels control the pince from two positions, and the surrender of the fort is bonrly expected. The Go? vernment commander at Matamoraa con? ceals all news. This is considered unfa? vorable to the Government Mails and telegraphs have been stopped. CINCINNATI, December 6.-The "Lon? don" woolen factory, at London, Ohio, was burned this morning; loss $30,000. HALIFAX, December 6 -Heavy rain yesterday and mild weather to-day, opened most of the ports in this pro? vince. ST. JOHN'S, NEW BRUNSWICK, Decem? ber 6.-There is a haavy gale from the South-west.

CHARLESTON, Deoember G.-Arrived steamship Champion, New York. 7; * ..HlOE.l' DESPATCHES. * ..' WASHCTOTOWt r>*iwmbt?r 0 -The Com? mission?* o? ^grionltnre-, in hie report, aooompanyibg rae President's mesen ge, speaking of the needs of Southern agri onltnre, says: 4'It muBt be conceded tbat the oourao of agriculture in the Southern States has not been conducted with that care, skill and regard for ultimate re? sulta which have characterized the ope? rations of farmer? , in other StateB. While their lauds are continuously de? voted to cotton and tobacco, until they have arrived at a state of exhaustion, those of tho North are continually im? proving by rotation of crops; which is absolutely essential to the life of the soil itself, and without which farming and planting bad better bo abandoned. These impressions have induced me to torn my attention to these States,, to eeek some mode by which the influence of this department- may be directed to benefit them; to find ont whether their implements, and especially their seeds, may not be greatly improved; and how, in the distribution of heeds and plants, we may best reaoh those to whom they may be profitably sent. The Southern States sufTur greatly in their interests for want of grasses; in the use of whiob their productions would be greatly in? creased, by rendering a rotation of crops necessary. Clover, with its deep roots, and rye grass, u strong grower, will well enduro the hot sun of the South. Referring to the distribution of seeds, tho Commissioner save: "I am satisfied that the mode heretofore pursued is erroneous. Tho quantity sent is entirely too small for even an experiment. ? pint or a quart of winni, oats, or other cereal, cannot be successfully grown; and such oxperiments almost uniformly fail, because tho quantity is too small. 1 uced not here discuss the reasons for this; but the result is manifest to those who have tried tho experiment. It would be far botter to put a half or whele bushel of aced into tho hands of one conscientious and careful person, than to divide the name quantity among ten or twenty. In thu Seuate, Anthony introduced o bill amending the Election Aot, milking it criminal to use any writing, device, tokon, word or gesture, with intent tc intimidate voters, or counselling, orin directly procuring, tho uso of BUCI means of iulimidatiou.

The Charleston News says: .'Wo have every reason to believe tl through the agency of tho Execni Committee of tho Tax-payers' Conv tion, tho people muy count, on obtain such a council of war as they both ne ed and desired. The prospect for emt ing the ring is botter uud brighter tl at any time since tho work of digg ont the truth began. "Wo aro confident that tho public give to whatever committee may bo pointed their full conlidvuco and uni support. A set nf officials who are trenched in tho State capitol cannot an instant, bo whipped, disgraced driven forth, with the brand upon tl foreheads. The struggle will bo I aud long, but when a break is once tx in the enemy's liue, tho result of contest will not stand in doubt. We dertako to ?ny that, when tho ring attacked in earnest, proofs of their oality will pour in with a rapidity wi will not leave the offenders a ghost chance to escape." A SAD ACCIDENT.-On last Mou onr citizenn were shocked by a horrii ? tastrophe, produced by tho falling o entire brick front of the uaw store b ing which is in course of constructio I Main street, East of the Court H< I between tho ?toro of Messrs.

A large party of Swedes arrived io Charleston a day or two since, with the view of looking oat homes in the South. The steamship Georgia brought them over. The good account wo have from this class of people wherever they hava settled in tue Southern country, makes us feel e warm weloone for the30 sturdy folk from across the Atlantic. FIRE.-We are pained to learn th.it. Dr. Thomas J. DuBose's residence, near Mechaoiosville, in this Ooanty, was de? stroyed by fire on the evening of the 1st instant. We anderstand that the fire was accidental, resulting from barning oat a chimney.-Sumter News. A Boston paper (the Post perhaps) re? marks that "Alexia is letting his bark drift with the negligence of delight among the islands of the lovely sirona." The question is, what will old Mr. and Mrs. Duke say when they hear that? A story is told of a person asking an? other whether he would advise him to lend a certain friend money.

WEDNESDAY, DEOEHBEB 6, 1871. BEN A Tri. The Se DU to met at 12 M., President Rinoier in the Chair. Mr. Foe ter, Senator from Spar tanburg, appeared io lils seat. ? C j Mr. Hajne rose to a question of privi? lege, and desired to ascertain the sense of tbe Senate as to tbe doty of tba Pre? sident to issue, without its order, writ of election in. case of vacancy during tbe session of tbe General Assembly. Tbe President ruled tbat, by Seotion 29, Article II, of tbe Constitution, it was made tbe imperative duty of tbe President to issue a writ of election in case of a vaoanoy, and the Senate hav? ing already taken notice of the decease of the late Senator from Orangeburg Oouuty, be bad accordingly anted in oomplianoQ with the provision of the Constitution. The President also brought to the at? tention of the Senate, that the notion taken on Message No. 2 of his Excel leooy the Qovernor, returning, with his objections, joint resolution authorizing the County Commissioners of Marlboro County to levy a special tax, by which the consideration of the resolution was indefinitely postponed, was not in strict oompliancu with tho Constitution, aud that tho motion to indefinitely postpone, though entertained by the chair, was ir? regular and unparliamentary. lie would so rulo in tho future. The only ques? tion under such oircumstanoes was, "Shall tho resolution or bill become u ? law, the objections of his Excellency the Governor to the contrary notwithstand? ing?" He was satisfied that the Senate, howevor, pursued this couran as the most expeditious ?mode to dispose ci the mat? ter; but trusted that it would not be tjited in the futuro as a precedent.
