The most important testimony, and the most damaging to the South yet brought out, is that of Mr. Stephens. He was on the stand for two days, aud took the utmost deliberation in all his answers. As he is probably the ablest man in the South, ard on account of the prominent position be has beld for several years, his opinions are entitled to more than ordivary weight. The testimony has been sent out in full, but there is one matter not gen- erally known which should be widely circulated. For some days Clement L. Vallandigham has been here, and quartered with Mr. Stephen's, at bis private boarding-house. Among the most frequent visitors there bave been Daniel W. Voorhees, Harris, Saulsbury, and all the most notoriously disloyal men of this vicinity, and the Jeading Copperbeads of the country. Such have been his pssociations and bis counselors, While he was on the stand, Gov. Boutwell was especially anxious to ascertain from Lim what the South would be willing to do upon the guestion of changing the basis of represeutation, vow that the slaves were freemen and citizens. Mr. Stephens was tlear in the belief that the South bad done all they intended to do to regain political power; that they would not ratify any Copstitutional amendments of avy kind as a condition of restoration, because they could not be heard in their dliscussion and have a vote upon their adoption in Congress. To a question of Gov. Boutwell's, as to what they would be willing to vote for if admitted before any amendments were adopted, Le replied: When they abandoned their attempt at Secession they eup- d they were thus entitled to rejresentation, aud that they would be recognized as wembers of the Union; but my opin ion is that they would not, and tbat their members on the Hoo of Congress would not vote for such ap amendment.’ It is customary to allow witnesses to take their evidence when written out by the stenographer and look over it to correct any errors that may bave crept in, or to add any little matters forgotten at the time. Mr. Stephens was furnished with his evidence, and took it to his rooms, where a council of his friends wae held. What was re- solved upon is evident from the fact that his whole evi- dence has been gone over, and at least 20 alterations were made, in many instances moderating his avewers down to conceal what his friends considered would damage their cause and interfere with their programme. The answer above quoted, in which he stat:d that if he and bis col- leagues were admitted they would vote down this proposi- tion to amend the Constitution, was stricken out eutire, and the following inserted in ite place: “But they feel that they are constitutionally entitled to be Beard by their Senators and Members in Congress upou this, or any other proposed amendment. Ido not, therefore, think that they would ratify that amendment suggested as a condi tion precedent to being admitted to representation in Con: JEFF. DAVIS CO. The House Judiciary Committee on Saturday had Judge Advocate Holt before them, who testified at length upon the case of Jeff. Davis and C.C. Clay; their complicity with the assassination conspiracy, and what steps have been taken to bring them to justice; he also furnished the Com- mittee with considerable documentary evidence so im- portant that they immediately placed an injunction of secrecy upon it, and to-night several members pronounce it sufficient to convict and hang both of thew. SENATOR FESEENDEN is very unwell and not able to be in his seat, MR. STANEEURY. Henry G. Stansbury, who wae to-day nominated for Supreme Judge, is a native of New-York, but moved to Lancaster, Ohio, where be studied aud practiced law for many years. He then went to Cincinnati, and having lived there for some years, went to Newport, Kentucky, to reside, while be practiced law in Olio, He was origi- nally av old Whig, and voted for Buchanan, But in 1860, being a personal friend of Mr, Lincoln, be voted for him, &ud bas since been for sustaining the war. Lately Le has been here in close and intimate relations with the President, aud rumor says he wrote the late veto of the Civil Rights bill, cr, at least, prepared the legal part of it. He is about sixty years of age, aud is considered one of the ablest lawyers in the country. It is against his prospects for confirmation that he is from Olio, which State has alyeady one Judge and the Chief-Justice. There is a considerable diversity of opinion as to his confirmation, Nothing will probably be done for some days, as the House has passed bill, which is now in the Senate, reorganizing the Court, and which ouly provides for eight Judges beside the Clief-Justice. This bill is now before the Senate Ju. diciary Committee, and should it be passed, no confirma- tion will be needed. SENATORIAL EPISODES, Senator McDougall was so grossly intoxicated to-day as Lot to be responsible for Lis conduct; but Lis assault upon Mr, Conness—than whom there is no more honest and pure patriot in the country—wag very disgraceful. Mr. Conness replied with great vigor, and his excoriae tion of McDougall was very severe, who, in bis attempt bo reply, commenced a strain of blasphemy and billings. pate in which he was stopped by the presiding officer,who prdered him to take Lis seat. It generally is considered bere that if Benators have no respect for themselves, they who has not come to the Senate Cham! except in a state of intoxication, rendering bim unit fo the duties of Lis office, SENATOR STEWART'S PROPOSITION. The Reconstruction Committee to-day heard Senator Stewart on his propositions for reconstruction. They ex- er in several years pect to report some amendment this week for the action of the House—in all probability Mr, Broowall's amend- ment, THE NEW-YORK COLLECTORSHIP. Thenomination of Henry A. Smythe a8 Collector, to-day, took many by surprise, it Leing known to but few that he was the fortunate man. His nomination is looked upoa with favor by the Senate, and there seems to be no obstacle as vet in the way of confirmation. He has the credit of being above reproach. COLORADO, An attempt may be made to-morrow to bring up Color- ado for admission in the Senate, but it has poor prospect of success, FARADE POSTPONED. The colored parade was postponed to day on account of the rain, but will come off on Thursday next, HOUSE PROCEEDINGS, The House took up this afternoon the Military bill, and only made one material amendment, viz.: by adopting Mr. to have two colored cavalry regiments, Stevens's amendmen To-morrow the question of the Veteran Re- serves comes up. Further delays on the Tax bill indicate that it will not be brought in before the last of the week. FINANCIAL. The disbursements and transfers of Treasury Depart ment, last week, amounted to $4,031,009, Of this sum $072,584 was disbursed on acconnt of war; $083,168 on account of the navy; and $354906 on account of the Interior Department. The total amount of disbursements and transfers for the quarter ending March 31, was $332,306,174.

Intelligence was received to-day at the State Depart- ment from the United States Consul at Aspinwall, dated on the Ist inst., that a disease, feared to be Rinderpest, has broken out among the wattle along the line of the Panama Railroad, and that hundreds are dying daily. The disease, although resembling cattle murrain, is more vio- lent in form, and wore fatal in effect; which the Consul states induces the belief that it is the genuine European cattle plague. NATIONAL BANK CIRCULATION. The National Bavk-note circulation issued last week amounted to $1,121,780; total awount thus issucd, $266. 504,340, The total amount of bonds now held by the United States Treasurer, in trust for circulation of National Banks and for deposits in designated Government depos. itories, is §350,3%4,000, CONCERNING MR. HAYS. The friends of Harry J. Hays of New-Orleans, who has just been nominated for Sheriff of the city, have for some time past been here endeavoring to obtain Lis pardon by the President. The President fails to discover the propriety of pardoning Hays, who was one of the prime movers in the scheme of Rebellion, and who, as a Brigadier General, Amy. Ex-Gen. Hays is consequently in a bad fix, and if elected, will not Le allowed to assume the duties of Lis office. DENIAL FROM EX.GOV. TOD. Ex-Gov. Tod of Olio, authorizes hs friends to say that thé use of Lis name es one of the Vice-Presidents of the so-called Johnson National Union Club,” is without his

authority or consent. Gov. Tod has no sympathy with any similar organization, and Lavicg always been some- what careful in the selection of his associates, does not at this late day propose to affiliate with the class of men composing the organization referred to, MANASSAS GAP RAILROAD. The stockholders of the Manassas Gap Railroad, who have recently been holding a meeting at Alexandria, ad- journed yesterday. They determined to borrow $1,250, 000, and to accept the new charter, to invite the co- operation of the Valley, the Winchester, and the Baltimore and Olio Railroad Companies in the construction of 8 road from Winchester to Strasburg, and to repair thoroughly their road from Strasburg to Alexandria, even if, in order to get the neces- sary funds, they bad to sell out to the Baltimore Company their road and its franchises between Strasburg and Har- rishurg. THE DIRECT TAX. The following statement exhibits the amount of direct tax levied in compliance with the Act of Congress, Au- gust 5, 1861, on the States below enumerated, together with the actual amount received up to date and the amount still unpaid: To the Amocisted Press. JUDGE UNDERWOOD 8 RECENT DECISION, Judge Underwood, Judge of the United States District Court for Virginia, has published a card to correct a per- verted report of one of Lis recent opinions in a habeas cor- pus case. Judge Underwood says: ‘In that opinion Idid not ex- press a doubt of the legali‘y of the late peace proclamation, nor was its legality called in question by any one connected with the case, nor did I express the opinion that the writ of habeas corpus could not be executed in one State while it was not suppressed in another, but the very contrary opinion. My opinion simply was that the late peace proclamation did not revoke the previous proclamation of President Lin- coln, suspending. in certain cases, the writ in the States lately in insurrection, and stated that the peace prodlama- tion did not include Texas, and that it had not and was not intended to have so broad and general an applieation as the petitioner supposed, and therefore it refused to grant his prayer.” XXXIXtn CONGRESS.

Referred to the Finance Committee, A RAILROAD ORDER. Mr. Howe called up the Scuate bill to rescind the order of the President designating the Sioux City and Pacific Railroad a branch of the Pacitic Railroad, Mr. How arb said the order referred to was issued by Mr. Grimes offered a substitute for Mr, Howard's Will requiring the Sioux City and Pacitie Railroad to coustroct their Pacitie branch upon the best and most direet route, subject to the future approval of the President of the United States, In the course of the debate, Mr. McDovGaLL charged Mr. Couness with having a personal interest in the matter, and that he was discussing the bill with a view to his own interests, and not with a regard for the public good, Mr. CoNsEs$ responded in an excited manner that Mr, McDougall was not in a condition to know what he we saying. He was constantly in such a state that Le was a disgrace to this body, Mr. McDovGALL—1 rise, Mr. President, for the purpose of pronouncing the assertion of the Senator a fulgclioud. 1 call him to order! Mr. CoNspss—Mr. President, 1 ask to be protected in debate, THE PRESIDENT pro tem. —The Chair will endeavor at all times to protect Senators in debate, Mr. McDoUvGALL—Mr. President, IT desire to state a point of order. My colleague has made a statement per- sonal to myself, which is false in point of fact. Dsubmit that he, having made an assertion which is untrue, it is strictly parliamentary for me to pronounce thatassertion a falsehood, and to call the Senator to order. Mr. SuMNER—Mr. President, I respectfully submit that the Senator cannot be allowed to proceed; he is entering 110 an argument. Mr. Me DovGarr—1 am stating my poiut of order. The CHAIR was unable to perceive that the Sengtord ad made any point of order. Mr. MCDOUGALL—] repeat that my colleagne has uttered a falsehood; that the term whieh 1 apply to his remarks 18 strictly parlinmentary both according to the practice and recedent of the British Parliament snd of this Senate for A years, and that 1 have a right to use it, Mr, Coxxpss—The Senator (MeDougall) does not repre- sent California, either politically or worally, HE was en franchised by that State five years ago, since which time he has not returned to see his constituents, or that Lis constituents wight see him, 1 have been compelled to sit here and submit to the assumptions snd representa. my place when that Senator, so far from representing that high-toned, moral and courageous constituency—that great sovereignty—sat iu his chair, or, rather, lay in Lis from every State iu the Union. 1 have covered my eyes more thas apce with shame before these extibitions. My associates now Wwust not understand that 1 sw dead to all considerations of this Cuarscter: hut sit ylently and nietly, and in pity even fr piu I was biding the time when the Senator (McDopgal’) by the termination of his oficial career, should cease thus 10 misrepresent, thus to humiliate, thus to shock, and thus to disgrace, not only the State that honored him and enfran- chised him, but the American character and the American Senate, But, Sir, 1 cond not bear it this morning, in view of the wanton, unprovoked and disorderly assault made upon myself. The Senator rises here and baudies the word dfalsebiood.” Mr. President, against me the Sepator dare not do that out of this body. Mr. McDouGALL rose, rapped Lis desk excitedly, and said, “1 will doit.” Mr. Coxxess—Mr, President, I dare not reply, for my senatorial character is in issue here, 1 dare not reply here to conduct so despicable as that is. J dare not respond to it, Sir. In my character for truth snd veracity, and for honor, aud in the represertative character, I have no coins parison to wake, Sir, with him. I shrink, Sir, from the contrast as from all the pollution that hell could vomit forth in its most disgusting form. 1 have no contrast to wake, Mr. President, with charity, with kindpess, with what was due to the senatorial relation, notwithstanding the provocation in every point of view. 1 would at ony time since 1 have been sent here, have sacrificed them all before the high and imperious duty of vindicating this reat American forum, and would have cast a vote from any day for the expulsion of the Scuator (McDougall) beenuse of Lis offenses, committed here, again and again, against the dignity of this body. But, Sir, 1 could not lead on such a work, forgetful of this consideration on his behalf. He has repeated again and again these outrages and violations of order, and decorum, and dignity, until forbearance has ceased to be a virtue. The Senate have constantly done themselves and the country a wrong. It was not enough, Mr. President, for that Senator that this great body bad coneluded that he was not fit to be any longer a member of any of its Committees to sit upon legislative questions. That ralient but most positive condemnation, so far from bringing reformation or change, has sunk and degraded the object still more, Sir, until, having no character to Jose, and nothing in controversy, he rises here and cow. mits the last offense this morning. Mr. JouXsoN rose and suggested that it would be better to discontinue a discussion of this kind. Mr. McDoUGALL rose to interrupt Mr. Johnson to say a few words. Mr. Jonxsox declined to yield. Mr. CoNxess said he had closed his remarks in relation 10 his colleague, He felt as deeply as any man could feel the pain of this whole proceeding. He regretted it. But he could say uo less than be had said under the provoca- tion he had received, Mr. McDoveaLL rose aud said he would be more re- spectful in his language than his colleague whom he would not speak of as the sober, but as the superb Senator (Con- ness). There was a little story that would suit the case. It was that of a man by the name of Pettigru of South Carolina who won a case at law against a fawily, one of the fighting members of which met him ove day, and walking up to him, said: Mr, Pettigri, you are a d--d iar.” S eigru took no notice. Then said he: Pet. tigru, you are a g—d d—d scoundrel,” Pettigru took no notice. Then said he, Pettigru, you are 8 g—d d—d s—n of a b=h."” The Craik (Mr. Foster) interrupted Mr. McDougall to say that sach stories, containing such language, ought not to be repeated in the Senate, Mr. McDovGaLL then said he would make a few re- warks, due to himself, He proceeded to relate what oc- curred during the contest iu the Califorgia Legislature when he was elected Senator, A gentleman, then a State Senator of California, ealled on him and urged him to be a candidate. He declined, but afterward agreed to run, and thas same person became his violent enemy and the advocate of a man who was in favor of estabishing Slav- ery in California. When the election was over, and Le (Mr. McDougall) was successful, this State Senator called on him to congratulate him. fle declined his con- gratulations, knowing him to have been his enemy. There were men who never could cease to slander those whom they had once injured. On motion of Mr. DooLITTLE, further consideration of the pending bill was postponed until morning. L.QUORS IN THE CAPITOL. The Senate agreed to the appointment of the Committee of Conference on the resolution to prohibit the sale of liquors in the Capitol. NAVY-YARD AT ANNAPOLIS. Mr. Jonson introduced a bill authorizing the estallish- ment of a Navy-Yard aud coal and naval depot at the har bor of Auna olin, Md., which was referred (o the Comwit- RELIEF OF NAVAL CONTRACTORS. Mr. Hexpricks cailed up the bill from the Naval Com- mittee for the relief of certain naval contractors, direct ing the payment to certain partics of the sums named in the bill, 10 make good losses sustained by the building of iron-clads. After some remarks from Mr. Hendricks in favor of the bill, Mr. GRiMEs offered a substitute for it, directing the Souretury of the Treasury to pay to the parties named in the bills the sums accredited to them by a Naval Board appointed by resolution of March last, provided that, except in the case of the Comanche, the amount shall not exceed 12 per cent of the original con- tract price, Mr. SuMyER offered en amendment declaring Mr. Donald McKay of Boston and Miles Greenwood of Cin- Ur) is provided for the parties building the sawe kind of ves. sels built by them. Mr. NvE moved to strike out 12 per cent and insert 15 per cent, in Mr, Grimes's amendment, On motion of Mr. WADE, further consideration of the above was postponed until to-morrow, HABEAS CORPUS. The bill in relation to the habeas corpus was taken up, but without taking action.

Mr. STEVENS asked leave to offer the following resolu- tion: Whereas, It is important that our Legations abroad shall be kept fully advised of the state of the country; therefore be it csolved by the House, the Senate concurrivg, That the Clerk of the House be directed to furnish three coples of Zhe Morning Chronicle to each of our Foreign Legations, Consular Agents, and Commercial Agents, for the use of sald Legations and attachés, and that he pay the sawe out of the contingent fund of the House. Mr. ROGERS objected, Mr. Hare moved the question of order that this was a sroposition to devote part of the contingent fund of the ouse for a purpose entirely outside of the organization and duties of thi House. The SPEAKER overruled the point of order, In an appro- priation bill a sum was set apart for the contingent expenses of the House, and it was for itself to determine Low that sum should be disbursed. Mr. STEVENS moved to suspend the rules, in order to cn. able him to offer the resolution. ‘The House refused to suspend the rules by a vote of 60 Yeas against 14 Nays—not two-thirds, NAVY BALANCES, Mr. RoGERs presented the joint resolutions of the New- Jersey Legislature in favor of increasing the salaries of naval officers; which were referred to the Committee on Naval Afuirs. THE LAND-GRANT RAILROAD. Messrs, EraeripGe and CoB presented the Joint reso. lutionwof the Wisconsin Legislature in favor of changing the route of the Land-Grant Railroad from Portage to Sn- wrior. It was referred to the Committee on Public Jods RECONSTRUCTION EVIDENCE. Mr. BovrweLy, from the Committee on Reconstruction, reported to the House additional testimony taken in refer- ence to Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, aud Mississippi, It was laid on the table, sud ordered to be printed, CONFISCATION OF CONFEDERATE LANDS. bh SAM 0 DL Abd ils of separation ss Mg Famgwonty ofan geeivtion, whigh was adopted, instrueting the Committee on the Judiciary to in- quire whether any and what action is necessary to cons. cate the title to lauds that were purchased by the late Con- federate States, and used for prison camps and other pur- poses, PERSONAL EXPLANATIONS. x Mr. WHALEY rose to make a personal explavation in reference to an artiele in The Cincinnati Daly Gazette, making fun of him, and describing him as rather igno- rant wan, who bad been badly “sold” in the House soize weeks ago by the Latin phrase “et al.” veenrring frequents ly in the secounts of the Commissioner of Agriculture, some one suggesting that Mr, Whaley was responsible for the appointment of this very expensive Mr, Et-al;” an imputation which Mr, Whaley at the time iguorantly re. pudiated. The correspondent deseribed the incident, and it was to his description of it that Mr. Whaley objected to as unkind and nopgenerous, It was too common a thing, he thought, for reporters to slander members, Mr. KOGiRs rose to make a personal explanation in ref- eronce to a paragraph which appeared in The New-York Times of Friday last, reflecting on Mr. Conkling in con- nection with the introductien of the Bankrupt bill, which he had been instramental ip defeating, He Limself had thought of introducing it again in order to revive the Com- mittee; but had judged it better to let it come from one of the members of the majority side of the House, and the Speaker, whom he had consulted, had agreed with him un the propriety of having Mr. Conkling offer the bill Laughter.] “He was convinced that the country should Juve some kind of a Bankrupt bill, and so was Ar. Conk- ling. It was a mere matter Seong to Mr. Jenckes that the bill was introduced—not to take away any of the pres- tige of the gentleman from Rhode Island, The SPEAKER cxplained that on the rejection of the Bankrupt Bill, he bad informed the gentleman from New. York (Mr, Conkling) and some other gentlemen, as it was his duty to do, in reference to parliamentary questions, that the Special Committee on the Bankrupt law could be revived by the introduction of a new bill, and its reference to that Committee, Mr. CoNELING expressed hig obligation to the gentleman from New-Jersey for making the explanation. He had done an act of personal courtesy and justice, which, from a political opponent, was siways a refreshing relief from the monotony of party SPL Mr. Ross (111) suggested that he would like to sce some of that refreshing matter come from the Kepublican side of the House, Mr. CoNRLING proceeded, He had satisfied himself that the malicious and somewhat venomous paragraph wu.ch had been read was not telegraphed to The New-York Tomes by either of the avowed and responsible Washington cor- respondents of that paper, From a long acquaintance with one of those gentlemen he should have been very much surprised if he had made use of a mere act of per sonal courtesy to defame any member of the House, Mr. JENCKEs stated his belief that the fact was as bad been stated by both the gentlemen from New-Jersey and New-York, The bill had been introduced while he was absent from his seat; but immediately upon his return, the gentleman (Mr. Conkling) explained the reasons of his action, and secured his (Mr. Jenckes’s) thanks there. for, He Lad no connection whatever with the ongina- tion or publication of the paragraph. Mr, RAYMOND #aid Le rose neither to make disclaimers nor admissions. He simply rose in consequence of the somewhat peculiar language which his colleague (Mr. Conkling) had seen fit to apply to the paragraph 1n ques- tion, This was the tirst time The New-York Times had been drawn into this Soptraverey. He bad understood that Jetfzapt to have appeared in other papers. His colleague had acquitted two gentlemen of all responsi. bility for that paragraph, but whether they would be obliged to him for his voluntary acquittal was their con- cern. He did not know but that his colleague might have intended, from some peculiarity in his manner and em- phasis, to throw the responsibility on him (Mr, Raymond), us the known editor of the paper. However, when his colleague would be more plain and explicit on that point, ho (Mr. Raymond) shonld be prepared to give Lim suck au answer ag the case might require, Mr. CONKLING =aid that if his colleague thought there was anything in the evidence, circumstantial or otherwise, before the House, ealling on him to admit or disclaim having telegraphed or inspired a libel on one of his col- leagues, that was a quession for him. He repeated that he had reasons to believe that neither of the ordinary corre- spondents of The Times sent that paragraph. Mr. Rayyoxp said he did not feel disposed to disclaim or admit anything on the strength of such an app al as his colleague had seen fit to make. He had not scen the paragraph, and Lad supposed when it was read at the desk that it was from The New-York Herald. All he kuew about the matter was that be was informed immediately after his colleague had intro- duced a bill that after killing the bill he bad introduced it precisely in the same terms. He presumed he repeated the fact to several people. He did not remember whether he had repeated the fact to any newspaper correspondent. He bad never had any feeling against Lis colleague in this or any other matter, and had never expressed any by cor- respondence or in conversation. tr. CONRLING desired to make one very emphatic dis- claimer, That was that he had made no ap wi whatever to his colleague, If his colleague felt called upon to say anything on the subject, it was iu cousequence of a prom Sot other than any suggestion of his. The Dill which he had introduced was st to him by gentle- men from New-Jersey, and he ‘even without look: at it, sent it to the Clerk's desk with the simple yy having it referred to the Select Committee ou the Bank- rupt Law, aud thus reviving that Committee. Every gens tleman knew the animus of the paragraph. It was an ace cusation that the person referred to bad been paltering with here in a double sense; that he had been defeating bill so far as it was in his power to do so, and then reintre- ducing it and claiming it as his own. He therefore re- peated that it was an extraordinary statement, and a ven- emous one, and he would stand by what he said. If others were content to leave it there, he was quite content, Mr. RAYMOND said he was not quite content to leave it just there. He begged now to say, as he had said before, that he was in no sense raha for that paragraph, cx- cept possibly by conversation with others he might have mide himself responsible forthe fact stated in it—the fact that his colleague baving opposed the bill and contributed to ite defeat, immediately reintroduced the same bill, That was a fact, and, in the absence of any explanation, he would take leave to say that the circumstance gave rise to a construction which wight or might not be venomous, but was certainly not complimentary. He (Mr. Raymond) pat no such construction ou it, but he would take the iberty to say that others did. The explanation given was satisfactory, he supposed, to all; it was to the gentleman who was the acknowledged author of the bill, ith that explanation the matter was clear enough; without it, he submitted it was not clear enough. After some further skirmishing, harmless in its effects, the matter was allowed to drop, WOOL. Mr. Vax Horn (N. Y.) presented petitions from Niag- ars and Genesee Counties, New-York, signed by 245 ¢itu- zens, asking for au increase of the duty on wool, DUTY ON FLAX. Mr. CoxxLING presented the petition of the owners of several flax-mills praying that a duty of at least 50 per cent ad valorem be laid on coarse flax, yarns, coarse linens, hemp and jute goods, and no duty on foreign flax for fine fabrics; and also a petition of the citizens of Utica, pray- ing tor the passage of laws regulating interior State insur- ances. They were referred to the Committee of Ways and Means. THE ARMY ORGANIZATION, The House took up the regular order of business and proceeded to consider the bill reported from the Committee on Military Affairs to reorganize and establish the Army of the United States. The pending question being on the amendment to the 3d section, Mr. STEVENS moved to amend the section by providing that two of the new cavalry regiments shall be composed of colored men. Mr. CHANLER opposed the amendwent, and demanded the yeas and nays. The amendment was agreed to by a vote of 69 yeas against 28 nays, Several other amendments were proposed and discussed, and some were agreed to, Mr. Ross (111.) moved to recommit the bill to the Mili- tary Committee with instructions to modify, to rewodel it on the plan of reducing the army to 40,000, Mr. RoGegs (N. J.) made a speech in favor of the pro- posed reduction, which Mr. BLaINe characterized as a “glashy, washy style of debate.” The motion was lost, Mr. RoGERs moved to amend the third section by adding to it a proviso that the army should exceed 30,000, Mr. SCHENCK submitted that the amendment was not in order. Mr. Rocrrs appealed to Mr. Schenck to wait until he found out his object, Mr. SCHENCK—O0, I know vour object. Itis to make that same old speech that we have on every occasion, Mr. ROGERS protested that it was not. The point of order was overruled by the Speaker pro tem., Mr, WASHBURNE of Illinois, Mr. RoGexs said he wished to vindicate himself from the malicious assaults which the gentleman from Maine (Mr, Blaine) was in the habit of making upon him, when- ever he (Mr. Rogers) addressed the House, He always confined himself to the question before the House, and never digressed from the subject, Laughter.) He made no general speeches, nor no Saturday speeches, and he should be treated at least with common respect by the gentleman from Maine. The House would recollect how that the gentleman had abused him, and treated him in the most shameful and indecorous manner on the occa- sion, some weeks since, of his speaking to a series of reso- lutions which he had offered. 1 was most contemptible and indisereet on the part of that gentleman to undertake te browbeat and waligu Lim whenever be addressed the Ouse, Mr. Braise pleaded that the gentleman from New- Jersey could a point to two occasions where he had given him cause to complain, out of the multitude of times that he (Mr. Rogers) had addressed the House during the three sesisons they had been together. He confessed that he had sp ken roughly. On the gentleman's appeal to Lim, he was willing to apologize. Mr. Rogers accepted the apology, and withdrew his amendment, After further amendments to the third section, the House proceeded to the consideration of the fourth sec- tion. Tho Lill os far Bs conpdered apd amended, tho frst sce- Hop however Laving been passed over ipformally, provides as follows: Spenox 1, Be it enacted by the Senate and en tatives of the United States of America in Soute of iv That the military force establishwent of the United States shall hereafter consist of five regiments of artillery, 12 regi- ments of cavalry, 55 regiments of infantry, the and Corps of Cadets of the United States Mitary Academy, and such other forces as shall be provided for this act, to be known us the Army of the United States.

Any portion o the cavalry force herein authorized may be dismounted and arm and drilled as infantry, at the discretion of the President; but the number so dismounted shall be taken, so far as the inter- ests of the service will permit, proportionately and impartially from the several cavalry regiments. Each cavalry regiment shall hereafter have but one hospital steward and the regi- mental Adjutant, Quartermaster and Commissioners shall Lereafter be extra First Lieutenants; and such regiments shall have one Veterinary Surgeon whose compensation shall be $100 per month, ‘The fourth section, which now came before the House for amendment, reads as follows: And be it further enacted, That the infantry regiments herein provided for shall consist of the first teu regiments of infant of ten companies each. now in service; of twenty-seven regi- ments, to be formed by adding two new co 0 each of the twenty-seven battalions constitatiog the remaining rice regiments; of ten regiments to be r and officered as bere. inafter provided for, to be called the Veteran Reserve Corps and of eight regiments of colored men to be raised and officer ed as hereinafter provided, to be known as United States Cole ored troops. Mr. Bover (Penn.) moved .ta amend the section by striking out all in reference to tusgeeteran Reserve Corps aud to colored troops, The amendment was lost by a vote of Yeas 16, Nays 79, Mr. Dawes moved to amend by striking out the words “of ten regiments to be raised and officered as hereinafter provided for to be called the Veteran Reserve Corps.” He addressed the House in support of his amendment. Mr. Ingersorr (111. opposed the motion, speaking in bighly complimentary ters of the Veteran Reserve Corps which ought to be retained, he said, as the Old Guar of the Republic. J 1 Mr, ELDrIDGE inquired why it was sucha glorious ing to belong to the army. The gentleman from Hlivois b not sought that privilege for himself. Mr. Sjogmsorl~1 was required home, Sir, during the War to fake care of just such contemptible Cop 8 as the gentleman from Wisconsin, [Laughbter.) If all the honest ind patriotic gentismen like myself Lad gone to the front .ch Copperhieads as that gentleman would have taken the Government of the country and it would have gone to eternal ruin. [Laughter and applause on tie floor and in the galleries. The SPEAKER pro tem, (Mr, Washburne of Illinois) des clared that the applause in the galleries and in the ball was out of order, Mr. Rogers asked the Chair whether it was in order in public debate to abuse a fellow-member of the House by calling him a contemptible Copperhead. The SPEAKER pro tem. thought that that was not in order, Mr. ELDRIDGE—I wish the decision was the other way, for the gentleman (Mr. Ingersoll) certainly has no more contempt for me than I have for him. [Encouragement from the Democratic side.) Mr. INgERsoLL—1 do not care any thing about what the gentiemag #ays. I bave had to bear 1 ae slang and slander of such us he for several years, 1 did not personally call him contemptible, ¥applicd the tern to a political party that nas embarrassed the Union encouraged the Rebellion, and done all that it could to defeat the North in the late war, 1 do call such people contemptible, Mr. RoGE: 8 protested that it was out of order for a mem» ber to abuse the members of another party, unless they bad an opportunity to reply. If that opportunity was given, n was willing to let the whole day be devoted to that. there were traitors and Disunionists any where, these were in the ranks of the opposite party. [Calls to order.) Mr. INGERSOLL wished to say a word, Mr. ELDRIDGE insisted that as the Chair had decided the gentleman from Illinois to be ont of order, be must be come yelled, under the rules, to take his seat. The SPEAKER, pro tem directed Mr. Ingersoll to take bit seat, which be did, awid much langlter. I. RICE (Me.) moved that the gentieman from Illinois be allowed to proceed iv r The motion, was agreed lo. Mr. IsGeRsoLL, resuming, said—Suppose Jeff. Davig should object, should I pay any attention to it? Mr. RoGERS raised the point of order that Jeff. Davis had nothing to do with the question before the House. Mr. INGERsoLL—He may bave. If that party ever gets into power, Jef. Davis will be one of its leaders. The SPEAKER pro tem. sustained the point of order. Mr. ELDEINGE made another point of order, that the gentleman from Dlinois bad no right to ch memberg of the House that they were the followers of Jefferso Davis, or that he was their leader. That was an abuse o the privileges of the House. g he SPEAKER pro tem. decided that Mr. Ingerscll wag pot in order in his remarks, as not being pertinent to the subject under discussion, r. ELDRIDGE submitted that the gentleman was out of order in charging members on his side of the House with being followers of Jeff. Davis. That, he said, was big point of order, The SrEAKER pro tem. (with much seriousness of man. near)—1The Chair cannot decide whether that is in order or not, [Outbursts of laughter.) Mr. RoGeks offered to withdraw all objection and les Mr. Ingersoll proceed, if members on Lis side were allowed to answer him, The SPEAKER pro tem.—The gentleman from Illinois is entitled to the floor, and will proceed in order. Mr. INGERSOLL, resuming—I was showing the necessity of preserving the Veteran Reserve Corps, and for that JtPose was showing that from present indications the ebel power is to be restored in this country, with Jef. Davis at its head. Mr. Roes inquired whether his colleague had heard of the late municipal election in Peoria, 111 Mr. InGexsoLL replied that he had; that there was a ve deary Copperhead majority there. He was to say that men had been pardoned who were as deeply dyed in erime as Jeff, Davis and his accomplices and co-congpira. tors, He wanted the Veteran Reserve Corps a8 an orgaui- zation to protect the country against such men. The SPEAKER here snnounced that the gentleman's 13 minutes, to which the debate was limited, had expired. The House, thereupon, at 4:15 p. m. adjourned.

2 NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 1866. NEW PUBLICATIONS. VICTOR HUGO'S NEW NOVEL, Our Paris correspondent has already given a briof wnalysis and eritical estimate m our columns of this ro- warkable book, the English translation of whieh has just been issued under the title of “The Toilers of the Sea,” by Messrs. Harper Brothers, Its pictures of maritime life exhibit the characteristic strangeness, often reaching the hight of the grotesque, the wonderful erratic fancies, and the unrivalled descriptive power of the author. Evorybody will read; everybody will be impatient with it; evorybody will admire its originality, its vigor, and its glowing humanity. Meantime, wo forestall the curiosity of our readers with one of its numerous personal sketches. A GUERNSEY FISHERMAN. Such was the character of Gilliatt, The young women considered him ugly. Ugly he was wot. He might, perhaps, have been called handsome. There was something iu bis profila of rude but av- tique grace. In repose it had some resemblance to that of a sculptured Daelan on the Trajan column. Ills ears were anal, delicate, without lobes, and of au admirable form for Jeasts Between his eyes be had that proud vertical hue, hiob indicates, in a man, boldness and perseverance. The oorners of bis mouth were depressed, giving a slight expres: sion of bitterness. His forehead had a calm aud noble round- pess. The clear pupils of his eyes possessed a steadfast look, plthough troubled a iittle with that iuveluntary movement of Bho eyelids wireh fishermen contract from the glitter of the waves. 11s laugh was boyish aud pleasing, No ivory oould be of a finer white than his teeth; but exposure to the sun had mado bim swarthy as a Moor, The ocean, the tempest, and the darkness canvot be braved with impunity. At thirty, he Jooked, already, like a mau of forty-five.” He wore the somber task of the wind and the sea. The people had nicknamed him Gllliatt, the evil one. There is an Indian fable to the effect that one day the god Brahma inquired of the Spirit of Power, “Who is stronger than thee aud the spirit replied “Cunning.” A Chinese provery says, What could not the lion do, if he was the onkey alsl 7' Gilliatt was neither the lion nor the monkey; but his actions gave some evidence of the truth of the Chinese verb and of the Hiudoo fable. Although only of ordinary ight and strength, he was enabled, so inventive and powerful was his dexterity, to lift burdens that might have taxed a jriast, and to accomplish feats which would Lave done credit An athicte. He had in him something of the power of the gymnast. He wsod, with equal address, bis left hand and his right. He nover carried a gun, but was often seen with his net. He spared the birds, bat not toe fish, His knowledge and skill as 8 fisherman were, indeed, very considerable. Wis au ex eellent swimmer. Solitude either develops the mental powers, or renders men ull and vicious. Gilliatt sometimes presented himself under th these aspects. At times, when his features wore that air of strange surprise already mneotioned, be might have been taken for a man of mental powers scarcely superior to the Jower animals. At other moments, an iudescribable air of penetration lighted up his face. Ancient Chaldea possessed some men of this stamp. At certain times the dullness of the shepherd wiad became transparent, and sevealed the inspired age. After al), he was but a poor wan; uninstructad, save tothe extent of reading and writing. It was probable that the con ition of his mind was at that limit which separates the eawer from the thinker. The thinker wills, the dreamer is a passive lustrament. Solitude sinks deeply into pure natures, sod modifies thew, in a certain degree. They becowe, uncon Joious)y, penetrated with a Kind of sacred awe. The shadow n which the mind of Gilliatt constantly dwelt, was composed kn almost equal degrees of two elements, noth obscure, but very different. Within himself all was ignorance and weak ness; without, infirmity and mysterious power. By dint of Srequent climbing on the rocks, of escalading the mggod cliffs, of going to and fro among the islands in all woathers, of pavigating any sort of craft which came to haud, of venturing night and day ia difficult channels, he had be- eome, without taking count of bis other advantages, and merely in following his fancy and pleasure, a seaman of extra- ordinary skill He was a born pilot. The true pilot is the man who navi gates the bed of the ocean even more than its surface. The waves of the sea are an external problem, continually modified by the submarine conditions of the waters in which the vessel Is making her way. To sce Gililatt guiding Lis craft among the reefs and shallows of the Norman Archipelago, one might bave fancied that he carried in his head a pian of the bottom of the sca. He was familiar with it ali, and feared nothing. He was better acquainted with the buoys in the channels than the cormorants who wake them their resting-places. The wlmost ioperceptible diferesces which distingnish the four up ght buoys of the Creax, Alligaude, the Trémies, and the rdrette, were perfectly visible and clear to him, even in misty weather. He hesitated neither at the oval. apple-headed buoy of Anfré, nor at the triple iron point of the Rousse, nor at tho white ball of the Corbette, or at the black ball of Longue Sieve; and there was vo fear of his confounding the cross of oubeau with the sword planted in earth at La Platte, nor the Rammer-shaped buoy of the Barbées with the curled-tal buoy of the Moulinent, His rare skill in seamanship showed itself in a striking man- nor one day at Guernsey, on the occasion of one of those sea tournaments which are called regaitas. The feat to be per- formed was to navigate alone a boat with four sails from St. Sampaon to the lsle of erm, at one league distance, and to bring the boat back from Herm to St. Sampson. To manage, without assistance, a boat with four sails, is a foat which every Kshermen is eqaal to, and the difliculty seemed little; but there was a condition which rendered it far from stmple. The boat, to begin with, was one of those large and heavy sloops of by- ne times which the sailors of the last century kuew by the ame of ‘Dutch Belies.” This ancient style of flat, pot- bellied craft, cariving on the larboard and starboard sides, compensation for the want of a keel, two wings which lower themseives, sometimes the one, sometimes the other, according to the wind, may occasionally be met with Fier, 1 Io the second piace, there was the return from lerm, a Journey which was rendered more difficult by a heavy allasting of stones, The conditions were to go empty, but to weturn loaded. The sloop was the prize of the contest. It was dedicated beforehand to the winuer, This Dutch Belly had been employed as a piiot-boat. The pilot who bad rigged and worked it for twenty years was the most robust of all the sail prs of the Channel. When he died, no one had been found papable of managing the sloop; and it was in consequence de- termined to make it the prize of the regatta. The sloop, though not decked, bad some sea qualities, and was a tempting ize for a skillful sadlor. Her mast was somewhat forward, Fuich increased the motive power of her sails. beside having o advantage of not being in the way of Ler pilot. It was a strong built vessel, heavy, but roomy, and taking the open sea well; in fact, a good, serviceable craft. There was eager anxiety for the prize; the task was a rough one but the re. ward of suceess was worth having. Seven or eight fishermen pimong the most vigorous of the island presented thewsolvos, Dae by one they essayed, but not one could suoceed in reaching Herm. The last one who tried Lis skill was known for baving prosecd, in a rowing boat, the terrible narrow sea between pr and Breeq-Hon., Sweating with his exertions, he brought k the sloop, and said It is impossible.” Gilliatt then en- tered the bark, seized first of all the oar, then the mainsail, and ed out to sea. Lhen, without either making fast the boom, hioh would Lave heen 1mprudent, or letting it go, which kept the sail ander bis direction, and leaving the boom to move with the wind without tacking, he held the tiller with bis lef} and. In three quarters of an hour he was at Herm. Three ours later, although a strong breeze had sprung up and was lowing across the roads, the sloop guided by Gillaft, returaed to St. Sampson with its load of stones. He had, with an ex travagant display of his resources. even added to the cargo liste bronze cannon at Herm, wlich the people were in the abit of firing off on the 5th of November, by way of rejoicing or the death of Guy Faw kes, Guy Fawkes, by the way, has been dead 160 years; a ro- markably long period of rejoicing.

FOREIGN NEWS, The steamship City of New-York, from Liverpool April 1, via Queenstown April 5, arrived here yesterday, bring- ing one day later news from Europe, The Austrio-Prussian situation remains without change, The pacific reports received by the last mail are not cou- firmed. The French troops are to be withdrawn from Mexico in three installments; the first in November, 1866, aud the last in November, 1867, From South America we learn that the Brazilian Admi- ral had arrived with a fleet of ironclads, gunboats and monitors at Corrientes, and that the passage of the Parana would namediately be forced. GENERAL, NEWS, The strike of the ear-drivers continues, with but little to change its disagreeable and oppressive consequences. The Fourth-ave. line yesterday aid something in the way of endeavoring to accommodate the public; also the Bleecker- st.. and possibly to some extent, one or two other lines. The Third-ave. road does not appear to make any effort at getting its ears in motion; or if it does, the efforts are very fruitless. Last evening there was something of a tumult. ous demonstration in Forty-second-st., but no serious re- said to have made a good deal of] money out of his journals, and who would be the last man to carry his hat begging to the bar of Congress. Therefore, the resolution of Mr. Stevens puts him in a false position, and at the same time opens a leak in the Treasury which will be infested hy hungry editors for all time to come. SAMUEL (i. COURTNEY, son-in-law and Assistant of the Hon. Daniel 8. Dickinson, has been nominated by the President to succeed him as Districd-Attorney, He is a fair lawyer, and will discharge the responsibil ities of the office faithfully and creditably. Hexry A. Suyvrue, President of the Central Na- tional Bank, was yesterday nominated for Collector of this Port. So the long agony is over, and we think happily over. Mr. Smythe was never much of a poli- tician, belongs to no “wing,” no cligue, and had very little political support, For years a prosperous and at length an eminent merchant, of late a leading and successful banker, his backing was almost wholly from business men, and his selection reflects credit on the President who made it; the more that his leading competitors were conspicuously strong and fit men. Aud now, if Mr. Smythe shall be allowed to man- age the Custom-House as he does his Bank, we pre. dict for him a brilliant and honored career, If he has to “run the machine" as a tender rather than a loco- motive—if Le must make places for this political pauper aud keep that one in the place Le already holds, he will fail of course, as good men have failed before him. But let him put in and keep in only such men as he shall find capable and worthy, weeding out the other sort without fear or favor, and he will prove a most energetic and efficient Collector. Dr. Sayre, late resident physician, denies the state. ment made by Dr. Stone, of the Health Board, that there were 21 deaths in November and December last, at Ward's Leland, from cholera. Dr. Sayre says that he examined all the cases and that they had none of the well-known choleraic symptoms. WENT VIRGINIA, This State holds an election for township officers on the 4th Thursday in May, when a Constitutional Amendment restricting the Right of Suffrage to loyal men is to bo ratified or rejected by a general vote, The Union State Committee have therefore issued an Address to the People, wherein they say: “For ourselves, disclaiming all desire to provoke new agi tations, or to renew old ones, or to pursue in any spirit of mere vengeance those who so long and the conutry, we look only to the adoption of such a policy as will certainly secure to us the legitimate results of the Seanly-ought victory, by which, at the last, loraity triumphed over treason in the field of battle. As a matter of plain com. mon sense, all of us know that the mere overthrow of that great treason by force of arms did not change the sympathies of a single person who in any way aided or countenanced it Reason teaches us that only the character, not the spirit, of the warfare has ceased. The andmus of the Rebellion lives on. And the source of our present danger is that we no longer confront it under its former colors, but under specious dis- guises well calculated to deceive us at the first glance. In this State it is now arrayed under the name of the ‘Conserva- tire’ party, after having for years been the ally of the radical destructionists of the South—of those who would not havey left one stone upon another in our great Govern ment had they been successful. In the hope of dividing the Union strength, and thus gaining power, it sults this party to profess the most ultra support of the President and his policy of restoration, It denounces as ‘Radicals’ the true men who stood by the Government when this party was standing by the Confederacy, simply because these true men are determined not to restore to pores and influence Rebels who resigned their positions under the Government in order to attempt the dissolution of the Union. Men who wore the Rebel uniform for years are now leading editors and directors of this so- called Conservative party. Men who never recognized West Virginia as a State for a single moment during the Rebellion are now aspirants for the control of the State, mass, variously made tp from the overthrown and scattered debris of the Rebellion, who voluntarily abjured theirglle- giance to the Commonwealth, and who never voted thron the contest until after the surrender of Lee aud Johnston, are now marshaling es of old under the lead of these orgalizers of this Conservative party.” —A ‘Conservative State Convention was held at Clarksburg on the 12th inst, wherein 26 of the 52 Counties were represented, It of course resolved strongly in favor of President Johnson and against Congress, the Freedmen's Bureau, and the Civil Rights bill. They were zealous for allowing Rebels to vote, but dead against letting Negroes do =o, A Clarksburg letter to-The Wheeling Intelligencer says: “Taking the declarations of this body, claiming as they do to sults acerned beyond the giving and receiving of a few black eyes aud bloody noses; the parties at interest being infuriated persons who were supposed to have beeu for- werly car-drivers. The jsilor of Spencer County, Ky., is a wonderful man and deserves a pension, He opened the prishn doors to the murderers last Friday, because seven wen cane and threatened to kill him if he refused, The city railroads were before the Common Council yesterday in the shape of an order directing the Corpora. tion Counsel to take measures to have their charters re- voked. The National Mining Convention, whieh was to have been held at an early day, has been postponed until some date hereafter to be announced during the ensuing Winter, The case of Madame Jumel’s will was before the United States District Court vesterday, and was put over till the next term of the court, The Tabernacle Church (the Rev, Dr. Thompson's) cele brated its twenty-fifth anniversary last eveniug iu appro priate observances. A Halifax dispatch announces that all the cabin passen- gers of the cholers-infected steamship England are well and have been so. A man supposed to be the accomplice of Probst, the Philadelphia wurderer, has been arrested at Loudon, C. W. The Meteor case was before Judge Betts yesterday, and Mr. W.

The Militia bill was referred to the Military Committee, A resolution to discontinue the Brauch Mint at New-Orleans was reported snd referred. A resolution concerning the army register was adopted. The Senate bill concerning the Sioux City aud Pucitic Railroad was called up, de- bated, and postponed. A Committee of Conference was appointed on the resolution to prohibit the sale of liquors in thejCapitol. Bills were taken up snd went over withont action, and the Senate adjourned. HOUSE, Resolutions were introduced for au amendment to the Constitution (referred); for the distribution of certain State papers (referred); for extending the privileges of the library (referred.) Resolutions directing an inguiry as to punishing claim agents who defraud their principals; re questing a report of the trial of Wirz from the Secretary of War; directing the Secretary of War to COmMUNI Cate the facts of the execution of loyal North Carolina soldiers by the Rebels; requesting the President to communicate information relating to Mexico, and directing an inquiry us to amending the rules of the House, were adopted. Bills were introduced to pay the war expenses of New-York; to provide for transportation of vessels around Niagara Falls; to aid in the construction of a Minnesota railroad, and other matters of local interest, A Commfttee of Conference on the liquor resolution wus asked for. Mr. Stevens offered a resolution to supply The Chronic to foreign ministers, &c., but the House refused to suspend the rules. Various personal expluna- ttons were made, Numerous, petitions, resolutions and memorials were presented. The Army bill was taken up and debated, and without taking a vote the House ad- journed, LEGISLATURE. APRIL 16,—The Assembly was not in session. The Senate passed Lills incorporating the New-York Board of Fire Underwriters; authorizing the draining of low lands in Fishkill; authorizing the formation of the Rockaway Beach Land Improvement Company; providing for refunding to various banks and insurance companies taxes paid iu 1863 and 1864 for Government securitics. Without disparagement to The Washington Chroni- cle, we hope that Congress will not insult its editor by putting him on the Pension List of the House of Representatives, The resolution of Mr. Stevens ordering a wholesale subscription to The Chronicle, means this and makes a bad pracedent. Papers that i cannot support themselves are not worth supporting. 0 aad'§ MRS Reack tp Gol Pome who ff 0 its proceedings is manitested by the returned Kebels of this town and county, Iam strongly reminded by the faces I see here around the corners and doors of the Court-House and among the body of the delegates of the stormy meatings iu this County in the Spring of i861, when Carlile ard Lewis on the Union side anda Robert Johnson and Ben, Wilsen on the Secession side, were canvassing for the Kichmond Convention Mitgling freely with the delegates in the Court-room, laugh ing, chatting, buttop-holing, and in confidential confab with them, 1 see this same Robert Johnson, who shoulde his musket and went into the Rebel army early in the Summer of 1%61, and Wm.

Cooper, who advocated Secession here with all the might he could infuse into his paper, The Register, and who, having done all he could to destroy the Government and the people here ving under his protection, marched with Johnson to Join Porterfield, and ud all in bis power as an armed Rebel to accomplish the same work. face of Judge Camden, late of the Confederates States, whom I saw last in this Court-House in May, 1#61, sitting, black asn thunder cloud, under the excoriations of Frank Peirpoint (then searcely known to fame), who was making one of Lis most telling speeches to an enthusiastic Union mass meeting. 1 sec many faces here of men who lacked courage to illnstrate their principles as did the three named, but who come out now like torpid snakes on some warm May day, revived into life by the y ope that somebody will yet tray the country iuto their hands,’ y 3 IMPERFECT BUILDINGS, Hall the great fires in this and ic most American cities result from defective buildings. Flues are placed where flues should not be; or wood is placed so nearly in contact with them that it gradually be- comes heated, dried, charred till it is tinder, when a particularly hot fire is made some cold night, whereby it is ignited, and, before morning, a conflagration is evolved which reduces a block or so to ashes and destroys property worth a million of dollars. Such is one of a dozen ways in which the earnings of years are given over to quick destruction, A bill has passed the Assembly which regulates rigidly the construction of buildings, the storing of combustibles, &c., with a view to the prevention of fires, It is a careful digest, with improvements, of all onr existing laws on the subject, It is now before the Senate, and has been favorably reported by its Committee on Municipal Affairs. As it is calculated to benefit all those it aifests, except those who steal at fires, we pray the Senate to take it up and pass it, RECONSTRUCTION, The testimony of A. H. Stephens, as printed clse where, will be read with a peculiar interest. The second officer in the Coufederacy—but always re- garded as a reluctant Rebel—possessing the confidence of the good men of the South more thoroughly than any of their leaders, his words have more than ordi nary meaning. He tells us that an overruling major- ity of the people of Georgia are now willing to accept the results of the war in all their fullness, to become loyal citizens, and abandon forever any claim to ex. ercise the right of Secession. That experiment is a failure, aud if nothing else deterred them, the memory of the dreadful war would be sufficient. Emancipa- tion is accepted by the people in good faith. The ne- groes desire to work, and the relations between em. ployer and employé are as satisfactory as in any part of the world, Other portions of Mr, Stephens’s tes. timony seem to strengthen the idea generally preva. lent in the North that Georgia and other States in the South were forced into Secession by the Rebel leaders. As to suffrage in the South, Mr. Stephens assures us that a proposition to extend it to the negroes would uot be adopted in Georgia. His own idea of a limited suffrage is very grateful, as an evidence of enlightenment on the part of Southern statesmen, which we hope to find more general. The hopes of regeneration in the South must depend to gome extent upon such men as Stephens and Reagan. Their course now, in the face of public sentiment, shows the error of the President when he failed to ac- cept the golden moment succeeding Lee's surrender. That mistake has made the work of reconstruction weary and difficult. With Congress strenuous and bold in behalf of nationality, with leaders like Stephens, willing to lead the Southern people in the and so deeply wronged the State And that large be loyal to the United States, it is curious what an interest in 1 see also here the in lies the confutation of those who insist that not perfect Union, a Union of freedom and peace, and founded upon the brotherhood of man. With Andrew Johnson's aid the work would have been easy and harmonious, CARLYLE'S ADDRESS, The installation of Mr. Carlyle as Lord Rector of Edinburgh University is an event very different from commonplace celebrations and ceremonies of that kind. The offices of Rector and Chancellor in the British Universities are, for the most part, honorary, and are filled by men of political and the like celebrity, Carlyle's predecessor at Edinburgh was Mr. Gladstone; Mr. Disraeli was his competitor; while Oxford has the Earl of Derby for Chancellor, and the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, and Prince Albert have all in their time held similar posi- tions. Edinburgh breaks the custom, and honors her- self by paying her highest honor to one who is indeed her most distinguished son, but whose distinction pro- ceeds in no respect from politics or war. There is something that touches both the heart and the imagination in the return of Carlyle, as the repre- sentative of English Literature, to the University which he entered, a boy of fourteen, fifty-six years ago. The occasion, memorable in itself, is made still more impressive by the address which he deliv. ered upon his installation. We print it this morning in full, It happens to many a man to be best known by the worst things he has said and done, We fear that by a great number of American readers Carlyle is remem. bered for his dislike to us and our Government. The needless affront of the Ilias in Nuce” alienated a good deal of regard which had survived the ab- stract and theoretical statements, frequent in Carlyle’s writings, in opposition to the Democratic principle. All the indignation we felt was just; yet we can well afford to forget it all. The incalculable serviee which Carlyle for thirty years past has done us is not to be outweighed by disgust at his failure to understand the merits of our struggle for nationality and liberty, We should pay a poor com- pliment to the intelligence and fair-mindedness ot out readers if we did not suppose that they will heartily rejoice at the honor which Edinburgh accords to Lit- erature in her choice of Carlyle as its foremost name. Nor do we believe it possible to read his address with. out profoundly feeling its genuine tone, its hearty sympathy with the young men who listened to it, its its tenderness, its sound views on education, its brilliant excursions many fields well tilled by its author heretofore, and by him only, its wit and humor, its practical common sense, and fitness to the occasion. We remember to have heard Mr. Emerson, just after the first volume of Carlyle's Frederick was published, describe it in a lecture as infinitely the wittiest book that ever was written.” Readers of Frederick know that the encomium was well deserved, and we are in. clined to transfer it to this speech, Into this talk of an hour and a half, the wise and eloquent old man as crowded the experience and the learning of a studious lifetime, yet speaks to the young men about him as if he were nearer to them than to the and with a sympathy and kindly interest in heir fature which goes to the heart. What is the function of a University 7 What is the secret of a right education? Those are the questions which he undortakes to answer. The topics treated re such as the faculty and professors of every college fast to consider practically, What books ought to be stadied—what ought a University to try to do with the jonny men who come to it for instruction? It is one bf the values of a great man that he is able to discourse profitably on such commonplace topics. In cach man there is no straining after originality when he has to deal with matters where not originality but experience is the thing wanted. Carlyle is content to recommend to students to be diligent; to do the task get them thoroughly; to learn how to read and study. He believes the function of a University to be some. thing quite different from instructing those who flock to it in special departments of study—to be good law. yers, or theologians, or savans, *I consider” says Re, “the very highest interests of man vitally in. trusted to them. What the Universities have mainly done—what I have found the University did for me—was that it taught me to read in various languages and various sciences, so that I could go into the books that treated of these things, and pry into anything 1 wanted to make myself master The business of wisdom, into of, gradually, as 1 found it suit me, a University is to discipline the minds of those who study in it—=by no means to furnish those minds with spec ial and technical knowledge; a statement where- classics but science, or not science but classics, for its own sake, should be taught, and taught exclusively. What man knows when he leaves college is of small consequence. How he knows it is the question, and whether his mind has been he can then turn readily to whatever business life presents to him; ean master whatever subject it becomes necessary for him to master; can, in a word, deal on equal terms with the facts and necessities that confront him on his entrance into the world, It sO modern of the moderns insists on the study of Greek and Roman history, and of Greek and Roman liter- ature—those two races being the most remarkable, and those two literatures being the most perteet yet known among men, and exercising upon all subse- quent peoples the greatest influence. —We take it for granted that this address will be with which it deals, or for him who deals with them. We are willing to presume that everybody will find in which he heartily thinks wrong or mistaken. No mat- ter for that. Mere is, after ali allowances are made, the most loyal, and most sincere, and the deepest of England's thinkers—he who has most influenced in this generation the thought of those who speak the English tongue—contributing his maturest wisdom for the benefit of the students of his Alma Mater, 1t is worth listening to, and will teach something to the best of us. The Times of yesterday publishes a letter from the Hon. Joseph Segar of Virginia, to Gen, Howard, on the legislative nction of that State in regard to freedmen, The Times says that “application” was made to the editor of Tne TrisuNg asking the publication of the letter, but that the application was unsuccessful" that this journal had not consented to publish the letter,” That the publication was asked for is true; that consent was refused is not true. Unfortunately, we cannot get half a dozen columns of matter into one column of room, which so many of our friends think it easy to do. And of that matter which we do publish, very much has to await its turn, the current news taking precedence of that which is not so pressing. We should like to oblige everybody, particularly that large elass who think nothing is of any moment except that which they write, Bat we are compelled to use our own poor discretion, for, if we asked counsel of each particular writer and fol- lowed it, we should be compelled to publish about half a dozen newspapers a day to satisfy them. Mr. Begar's letter was on file for publication, and would have appeared in due season.

Fourteen Persons Killed and a Number Wounded. rR Sax Fraxcisco, Monday, April 16, 1366, A torrible explosion of what was supposed to be nitro- glycerine, ocevrred at 1} o'clock to-day, near Wells, Fargo Co.'s building. The explosion shook the earth like an carthquake for a circle of a quarter of a wile. Samuel Knight, Superintendent of Wells, Fargo Co.'s Express, died in half an hour of injuries received. W. Bell, Supervisor and Assayer, was instantly killed Mr. Wallub, Wells, Fargo Co.'s Assayer, Joseph El- liott, John Gallagher, Frank Webster and William Justin were also killed, Eight bodies were so mutilated that they could not be identified. Louis McLane, Capt. Eldridge of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company and Judge Hoffman were bruised and cut, Felix Lamix, D. Stacy, Jefferson Taylor, H. Blane, clothing dealer, Capt, J. E. Ayres, Fred. Leiz, Frank Morris and others were injured, but not fatally, Some will never be identified, as fragments of human flesh, bonos and brains were found nearly two blocks distant, Montgomery, Sacramento and California-sts, were lined with broken glass, scarcely a window for several hundred feet remaining whole. Wells, Fargo Co.'s louse, and everything in the vicinity, animate or inanimate, were blown into fragments, The damaged is estimated at least $200,000, William Company is ascertained to be among the killed. The cause of the explosion is a mystery, The freight agent of the Pacific Mail Company says that two boxes, each measuring about four cubic feet, were taken from the steamer’s dock to the place where ths explosion occurred, One box was consigned to Idaho City and the other to Los Angelos, Both were stained with oil, The contents are not known. Forty men are now engaged in removing the ruins, THE STRIKE OF THE CAR DRIVERS.

Sixth Day of the Strike General Inconvenience an lmmediate Settlement—Action of the Common Council--Revocation of the Rail- rond Charters Reported Assanits, The drivers are still obdurate, the railroad companies in- exorable, and the traveling publie, in consequence of the continuance of hostilities, generally inconvenienced and annoyed, Dissatisfaction prevails on all sides, and there is not the slightest prospect of the speedy restoration of public tranquillity, ‘Theldrivers imagine themselves the only parties aggr eved the railroad companies think they are being very roughly dealt with in being compelled to open public have long since come to the conclusion that they are the vietims of indeed very unfortunate circumstances. The Metropolitan Police have serious thoughts of resign. made up their minds that the freedom” of the American citizen 1s all nonsense, and perhaps the horses, who have nian fiddler “more kicks than halfpence,” are the only disorder and confusion, There is, however, a report to the eflect that they too are made to suffer, the rails road companies having discovered some way or other that the horse that does not can go on half rations, Yesterday morning and evening the public indignation against the entire crowd of direc. tors, drivers, &e., reached its hight, shine of Sunday and the preceding days, pedestrianism was, to say the least, not uncomfortable, It was some- what of a novelty for a great “many people to walk a mile, or even two, and it was not after all very displeasing. And then it was something to talk about and formed a very good topic for a fow moments’ desultory conversa. tion, But yesterday morning when the up-town business man awoke and saw the rain pattering against Lis win. dows, and beheld the miniature lakes in the streets, the cataraets from the house-tops and the respectable sized rivulets coursing along the gutters, but no cars, he was driven almost to distraction, However, cavalry boots, oil-skins and an umbrella got him bravely over the diffi. culties both natural and artificial. The women who do business in stores, &e., and had to go out yesterday, suffered a great deal, and deserve our sympatlies more than any other class. THE SITUATION, Yesterday was the sixth day of the strike and the end appears yet far off. The railroad companies have ceeded in running a few of their cars, but one-tenth of the people cannot be accommodated. ‘The new drivers can- not be relied on, luexperienced hands they cannot keep time,” and not one in tive of them remain longer than 24 hours, However the companies show no disposi- tion to accede to the demand, and the strikers” a equally resolved to persist in their present course, organization is becoming more and more complete ana they appear inclined to think that the companies will have to adjust the matter to their satisfaction. It isstated that men ure being brought from New-Jersey, Rhode sland, Mussachusetts, Connecticut and other States, and that the wen now driving are all strangers in this city. They are not licensed drivers, to become which, it is necessary to be a citizen of the United States, a resident for one year of the State, and of the county for six months, Certificates of competency are also required, It isasserted that one of the companies brought a large railroad car of men from one of the New-Eugland States yesterday, the greater number of whom were immediately put to drive, This action has given great dissatisfaction to the old drivers, but it 1s very probable that the new comers will not remain long, Many of the persons now driving ure mere boys, and the horses suffer in conse- quence, ‘There is eonsiderable skill required after all in 50 managing a car that it will be comparatively easy even when heavily loaded to start it again, Some of the men who have struck have been seven and eight vears driving on some of the lines, and there is scarcely a hollow or a hill ever so small on the line whieh they do not know, There is no very bad feeling among the Strikers on the Second-ave, Railroad, and Mr. Riley, the President, ex. tended the time to last evening for the old drivers to come back at the old prices, None availed themselves of the grace up to a late hour last evening, and the present divers of the few cars that are running are all new wen, The President of the Third-ave. Railroad Cowpany em- ployed some green’ hands yesterday morning, and sbout thirty-five cars were rouning during the day—a very small proportion of the entire number, The Hou W. A. Darling addressed the drivers at the depot yesterday and advised them to go to work, stating that the Company would take the matter into consideration and probably give them an increase. But Mr. Dating failed to chan them to obedi- ence, The Fourth-ave., line was ronning about forty cars vesterday all new drivers, and nearly all other than the ones they had on Saturday. Some of them, after remain- ing on a lew hours, jump off and leave the car to the con. ductor. One brought a car down to the City Hall yester- day, and there tied up;” while another ou a different car thought to jump off in Centre-st., but was held at his post by the policeman, SUC Havens, a book<kecper of the Pacific Mail Steamship, —Drivers From Other States—No Prospect of their purse strings against their will, and the good-natured ing, at least that portion of the force that has been J sion to use the cars of the said companies detailed on the running service; the new drivers have cans them to lose the respect of many who would have been glad to aid them, sod will turn a vast influence against them which might, under better conditions, have bean used in their behalf. Some one has said that moby always get their cue from respectable persons, and it is srobable that the favor with which the strike was regarded 43 been misinterpreted into the grant of a license for the use of violance, The drivers have confessed their woak. ness by the means they have employed to enforce their demand. Whether the trouble has but just n, ot whether the demonstration of last evening was their ex- piring effort to control the labor-secking portion of the spulation of the metropolis, will be developed in ths ture; but for the present all justice-loving and law. abiding people will regret the occurrence and frown upon the passion which has shown itself to be so undisciplined as to hope to achieve by violence what reason failed to accomplish, a —e.

About the hour above mention d one of the cars was stopped in its passage toward the depot and was soon jolned by two or three others, around which the crowd collected. Nome of the old drivers then went on the platform and attempted to push the new comers ofl, They of course resisted, aud blows were the result, dozen or more cars were together at this time, and the crowd in the street momentanly increased. ‘The windows of the houses in the vicinity were crowded with specta- tors, and the excitement was very great, The passengers all left the ears, The drivers attempted to whip” their cars away, but the traces were cut by some of the mal- contents, and a scene of general disorder and con- fusion enswed, in which heads were freely knocked and oaths were uttered, graphed to the Twenty-ninth Precinet Station-House, and a squad of police was at once dispatched under the cows mand of a sergeant to the spot. On the approach of the Metropolitans the crowd began to disperse, and in a few minutes after their arrival on the ground order was re- stored. ‘The vicinity where the row occurred was quite a celebrated one in the July days of "03, and probably not a few of the Fenty who took 4 prominent part in the pros ceedings of that time were in the streets last night, About halt a dozen persons were more or less wounded, but up to a late hour last night no wrrests were made, ears ceased to run after 7 o'clock ou all the lines, The only result that could reasonably have been ex- pected from the manner in which the car-drivers’ strike originated and progressed took place last evening, Even if $2 per diem is too small a compensation for such n day's labor as they were compelled to perform, the fact that hundreds of men could be hired to do their duties at those rates showld have taught them wisdom and controlled their action. They, however, steadily refused to take the reins, and other men were procured. The symptoms of violence which began with the strike grew daily more and more violent, Chagrined and disappointed at the result of their movement, they finally directed their anger against those who had been hired to fill the places they abandoned, and a riot was the result.

Ilo was sworn and examined by Mr. Boutwell, as follows: Q State your residence! A. Crawfordsville, Georgia, Q. What means have you had, since Lee's surrender, to ascertain the sentiments of the people of Georgia with regard to the Union’ A. 1 was at home in Georgia at the time of tho surrender of Gen. Lee, and remained there until the 11th of May, and during that time conferred with the people in my immediate peighborhood—with the Governor of the State, and with one or two other leading or prowiuent men in the State; from the 11th of May until my retars to Georgia, which was on the 26th of October, 1 had no means of knowing anything of the public sentiment there except through the public press avd such letters as 1 1eceived; from the time of wy return until I This address was written and printed left the State on my present visit hers, 1 had very extensive intercourse with the people, visiting Augusta, and visiting Milledgeville during the session of the Legislatare, first on thelr assembling, again in Jaovary upon their reassembling, and arain in the latter part of February; while there 1 conversed very freely and fully with all the prominent leading men, or most of them, in the Legislatare, and met a great many of the prominent influential men of the State, not connected with the Legislature, and br letters, aud from correspondence with the men in the State whom 1 bave not met, 1 believe that embraces a full answer to the question as to wy means of ascertaining the sentiments of the people of that State upon the subject stated in the question. Q. As the result of your observations what is your opinion of the purposes of the people with reference to the reconstruction of the Government, and what are their desires aud purposes concerning the maintenance of the Government? A. My opinion, and decided opinion is that an overroling majority of the people of Georgia are exceedingly anxious for the restora. 1 and for the State to take her former position in the Union, to have her Senators and Representa. tives admitted into Congress, and to enjoy all her rights, and to dizcharge all her {ions as a State under the Constitu tion of tha United States ps it stands amended. Q What are their present VIeWs Concerning he Rebellion Dot it prescut believe that it was a rea sonable or proper un! “ing, or otherwise? A. My opinion people of Georgia upon that subject is of Secession was resorted to by that the exercise of the vioht the justice of education? thew from a desire to render their liberties more secure, and a belief on their part that this was absolutely necessary for that ohect; they were divided upon the question of the policy of the measure: there was, however, but very little division among them upon the question of the right of it; it is now in wy opiuion, and I give it merely as an opinion, that the surest, if not tb y, hope ‘or their liberties is the restoration of the Constitation of the United States and of tue Government of ‘he United States under the Constitution Q. Has there been any change of opinion as to the right of Secession as aright in the people or in the States?! A think there has been a very decided change of opinion as to the policy of those who favored it; 1 think the peopie generally theentdy with the experiment never to resort redress again by foree, whatever may be ideas upon that subject: they have tenance of these opinions by a resort to force; they have come to the conclusion that it is better to ap rume of reason and justice, to the halls of leg islation and the courts for the preservation of the principles of constitutional liberty, than to the arena of arms; it is my set- tled conviction that there 1s rot any idea cherished st all in the public mind of Georgia of ever resorting again to Secos- sion or to the exercise of the right of Secession—that whol policy of the mamtenance of their rights, in my opinion, 13 at this time toluay avaudone d eo only to that weasure ol thstract Q. But tho opinion as to the right, as T understand, remains gubstanticllv the same? A. I cannot answer as to that; some may have clanged their opinion in this respect; it would be an unusual thing as well as a diftienli matter for a whole peo ple to change their convietions upon abstract truths or prinel ples; 1 have pot heard this view of the subject debated or discussed recently, and 1 wish to be understood as from my opinion only on that branch of the subject which is of practi cal character and 1mp 4 p Q To what do you propriety of attempting to TALK uttribute the change of opinion as to the maintain their views by foreel A. Well, Sir, my opinion about that, my understood opinion derived from observation, is, that the change of opinion arises mainly from the operation of the war among themselves and the results of the conflict. from their own authorities, on their out licenses and were married in the usual way given Answer general opinion in the State is very much averse to it, stantially, would Legislature as an evidence of the tone of the Legislature o* the State as woll as that of the people of the State upon the subject; T will refer you simply to a letter I wrote to Senator Stawart upou the same subject; 1 submit a copy of that letter; it 15 as follows: Wasmixaron, D.C, April 4. 1506, Dear Sir: In answer to your inquines touching the sen iment and feelings of the people of Georgia toward the freedmen, and the legs status of this class of population in the State, aliow me to say that the address delivered by me on the 22d of February last before the Legis: lature, a copy of which herewith band you, expresses very fully and clearly iny own opinions and feelings upon the subject of your i a8 YOU LOW ses it, It was delivered verbatim, as you now read it, that there might be no mistake about it. It was, 8s it now stands, onanimons'y fitdorsed by the Senate in a joint resolution, w hich was concurred in in the House without dissent, and was ordered to be spread upon the journals of both Houses. This I refer you to as a better and more trustworthy index of the feelings and views of the people of the State on the subject than any bare individua! opinion might entertain or a express. {he Legislature of the State, it is to be presumed, is as delivery, correct an exponent of the general feelings and views of the State as sny that can be obtained from any quarter. In addition to this the Legislature subsequently evinced their principles by their works in passing an act which 1 iso inciose to you. This act speaks for itself. It is short concise, pointed as well as comprehensive. It secures to the colored race the right to contract and to enforce contracts, the right to sue and be sued, the right to testify in the courts subject to the same roles thot govern the testimony of whites and it subjects them to the same pun. tshiments for all offenses as the whites. In these respects, embracing all essential civil rights, all classes in Georgia now stand equa. befor the law. There is no discrimination in these particulars on aceount of race or color Please pxcuse this hasty note, 1 have wore into detail. Yours most respectiully ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS. The Hon. Wirriax M. Stewart, United States Senate no time to go Q. What, if anything, is being done in Georgia w ith regard to the education of negroes, either children or adults? A. Nothing by the public authorities as vet; schools are being established in many parts of the State under the auspices of the Freedmens Bureau, Ithink, and quite a number by the colored people themselves, enconraged by the whites Q. What disposition do the negroes manifest in regard to A. There seems to be a very great desire on the part of the ehildren and younger ones, and with their parents to have them educated, Q. What is the present legal condition of those who have lived together as husband and wife and sustain the relations and the legitimacy of their offspring A. Our State laws do; they recognize all those ving as man aud wife as legally man and wife; good many of them took there is no difference in our laws in that respect; licenses are issued fon white and black alike. only they are prohibited from inter. marrying with each other; the races are not permitted to intermarry. Q. Were the amendments to the mstitution of the State of Georgia. recently adopted, submitted to the people of Georgia! A. No, Sir: they were not submitted; I have no hesitation, however, in expressing the opinion that nipe-tenths of the people would have voted for them if the Constitution had been submitted: that is bat an opinion: I heard no dissent at all in the State. 1 was there at the time; 1 got home before the con vention adjourned the State Constitution, as made by the con- vention, would have been ratified almost without opposition, it would have heen ratified nem con if it bad been submitted; this, at least, is my opinion. Q. What was the voting population of your State lu 126 A. Something upward of 100.000 QQ. What is probably the present voting population A The voting population of the State, under the present Consti tution, is, perh #0,000; and that is a mere estimate, Q. Hag there been any enumeration of the losses of Georgia in the field in the military servieet A. No accurste estimate that I am awsr Q. What is it suppose 1to have beent A. Iam not able to the un with anvthiog like accuracy Q. What is the public sentiment of Georgia with regard to the extension of the right of voting to the negroes: A it Hest jue Q as to haven If a proposition wer esentation in ss has voters Georgia ratify such a proposed amendment if it were made a condition precedent to the restoration of the State to political power in the Government? A. 1 do not think they woold; the people of Georgia, in wy julgment, as Congr sub 1 upot r i upo far as I can reflect or represent their opinions, feel that they individual rights of person and property, and from the general breaking down of coustitutional barriers which usually attend all protracted wars. Q In 1561, when the ordinance of Secession wa our State, to what extent was it supported by A. After the proclamation of President Lincoln calling 75,000 militia, under the circumstances 1t was issued, and blockading.the Southern ports. and the suspension of the writ of habeas 1, received 1 v 8 ACO din the jeopict wpus the Sothern cause, as it was termed the almost nuanimous support of the people of Georgia; before that, they were very much divided on the question of the policy of Secession. but wlierward they supported the cause, within the range of my knowledge, with very few except there were some fow exon not exceeding half think; the impression then pre vailing was that public was endangered, and they supported the cause because of then ‘onstituti rie hts: they still differed very much as attained and the weans to be used, emergency of the ‘appre- but these differences viekled to the bended common danger. Q. Was not the ordinasece of Secession adopted in Georgia earlier in date than the nroclamation for the 75,000 volunteers A. Yes, Sir: 1 stated t the people were very much divided on the question oi the or ance of Secession; but that, afte the proclamation, the) je became almost nnan mons in the gopport of the canse: 1 wore some few exceptions in the State; I think not more 1 olf a dozen among my acquaint ances: as 1 said, t were almost unanimons in support of the cause, they differ] 0 #8 to the end to be attsined by anstaining it; srme looked to an adjustment or settlement of the controversy upon eny basis that would secure their const tutional riguts; others looked toa Southern separate nation ality as their only object and hove; these different views as to are entitled, under the Constitution of the United States to representation without any further condition precedent; they would not object to entertain, discuss and exchange views in the Common Councils of the country with the other States upon st wsilion, or any pre position to amend the Co stitution, nee it in any of its features, and they would abide by re, if made as the Constitution provides; but ther feel that they are Constitationaily enti! ed to be heard by their Senators and members in the Houses of Congress upon this or any other proposed amendment; I do not. ther fore. think that they wound ratify that amenduient, suggested ns nn condition precedent to her being admitted to repre sentation in Congress; such, at least, is my opmion. Q. It is then your opinion that, al present, the people of Georgia would weit be willing to extend suffrage to the ultimate objects did not interfere with the general active ne popular vote upon the ordinavee of Seces. support of tue ca Q. Was there a gion* A. Only so tar as iu the eicction of delegates to the conveniion There was no subsequent action A. No, Sir; the ordi- navee of Secession was not submitted to a popular vote after ward. Q. Have yon any op‘nion ceived as compared with the whole if it bad been su the free action of the people Witness—1i)o you mean an J as to the vote it won'd have re. bmitted to er it was adopted by the Convea- tion bh) if it had been snhmitte r. Bontwe!ll—Yee after it was adopted by the Convention 1forthwith or witain a reasonable time A. Taking the then state of things into consideration, South Carolinas, Florida and Mississippi I think having seceded, my opinion 18 that 8 majority of the people would have ratified it, and perhaps by a decided or large majority. If. however, south Carolina and the other States had not adopted their or. dinances of Secession, I om very well satisfied that a majority of the people of Georgia, and perhaps a very decided majority, would have been againet Sceession if Ler ordinance had been submitted to them. But as matters stood at the time, if the ordinance had been submitted to a popular vote of the State, it would have been sustained. That is wy judgment and opinion about this matter, Q. What was the date fthe Georgia ordinance? 1#th or Juth, 1 think the 19th of January, 126], though 1 am not Q. The question of Secession was involved in the election of delegates to that Convention, was it not? A, Yes, Sir. Q. And was there, on the part of candidates. a pretty gen. eral nxowal of opinions A. Very general (Q. What wes the resuit of the election as far as the Conven tien expressed any opinion upon the Guestion of Sceession A I think the mjority was about thirty inthe Convention in favor of Secession: 1 do not recollect the exact vote, Q. In a Convention-of how many! A. In a Convention based upon the number of Senators and Members of the House Assembly of the State; the exact number 1 do in the (Grenera snot recollect, bot 1rhink it was near turee hundred; perhaps erally prevalent; to aiden they regard it as a species of espionage, and oppose Yery strongly.

Are the negroes generally at work t A. Yes; they are ronerally at work, there are some idle, bat this class constitute but a small proportion. QQ.

What, if anytuing, bes been done by the Legislature of vour State for the accomplishment of these objects? A. The gisluture bas passed au act, of which the following is mecopy: AN ACT to define the term persons of color” and to declare the rights of such persons, Sroriox 1. Re it enacted, &c., That oll negroes, iulsttoes, mestizoes snd thelr descendants, having one eighth negro or African blood iu tueir veins, shall be known in this State ss persons of color.’ “RC. 2.

Does your own judgment approve the view yon bave given as the opinion of the people of the State? A. My own judgment is very decided, that the question of suffrage belongs under the Constitution, aud wisely, too, to the States respec jvely and exclusively, Is it your opinion that neither of the slternatives sng. gested in the question ought to be accepted by the people of Georgia tA. My own opinion is that these terms ought not to be offered as conditions precedent; in other words, my opinton is that it would be best for the peace, harmony and of the whole country that there should be au fmme- diate restoration, and immediate bringing back of the States into their origina relations, and let ali these questions then discussed in common council; then the representatives of the Sonth could be heard, and you, and ail, could judge much bet. ter of the tone and temper of the people than you could of the opinious given by any individuals; you way take my opinion, or the opinion of any individual, but they will not enable you to judge of the condition of the fevple of the States so well, as for her own representatives to be eard in your public coun- ¢ils, in ber own behalf; my judgment, therefore is very de. cided. that it would have been better, as #oon as the lamentable conflict was over, when the people of the Sonth abandoned their ennse, and agreed to sceept the issue, desiring, as they do, to re. sume their places for the future in the Union, and to look to the halls of Congress and the courts for the protection of their rights in the Union, it would have been better to have allowed that result to follow under the policy adopted by the Admials- tration than to deny it or hinder it by propositions to amend the Constitution in respect to suffrage or any other new matter: 1 think the people of all the Sonthern States would, in the halis of Congress, discuss these questions calmly and de- liberately, and if they did not show that the views entertal were just such 8s to control the judgment of the peopie of the other sections and States, they would ¢uietly ana patriotically yield to what should be constitutionwiy determined io com: mon council; but I think they foel sensitively the offer to them of propositions to accept, while they are dented all voice in the common council of the Union under the Constitution; in the discussion of these propositions I think they feel ver sensi tively that they are denied the right to be heard; an while, as I have said, they might differ among themselves in many poines in regard to suffrage, they would not differ upon the question of doing anything further as a condition precedent to the restoration: and in respect to the alternate conditions to be so presented, T do not think they would accept the one or the other; my individual general views as to the proper course to be pursued ip respect to the colored peo ple are expressed in a speech made before the Georgia Legislature referred to in my letter to Senator Stewart; that was the proper forum, as I conceive, in which to discuss this subject, and L think a great deal depends in the advancement ot that have been in rebellien? Do the laws recognize that those questions should be considered and kept before the proper forum Q Suppose the States that are represented in Congress, and Congress should be of the opinion that Georgia should not be permitted to take its place in the Government of the couatry except upon its assent to one or the other of the two proposi- tions suggested, is it then your opinion that uuder such oir- cumstances Georgia ought to decline vitae You mean the States now represented, and those only 1 Mr. Boutwell—Yes, Witress—Yon maan hy “Congress,” Congress as it is now constituted, with the other eleven States excluded Mr. Boutwell—1I do. A. Then I think she ought to decline under the circum- stances and for the reasons stated, and so ought the whole eleven should such an offer be made and declined and these States shoul! thus eontinie to bo excluded and kept out, a siu- gular spectacle would he presented; a complete reversal of po- sitions would be presented; in 1561 these States thought they could not remain safely in the Union without new guarantees, and now when they agroe to resume their former practical re- lation# in the Union under the Constitution as it is, the other States turn upon them and say they cannot permit them to do so safely to their interest without new guarantees on their part; the Southern States would thus present themselves as willing for immediate nnion noder the Constitution, while it would be the Northern States opposed to it; the former dis- unionists would thereby become Unionists, and the former Unionists practical disunionists.

STEPHENS resumed: By Mr. BorTweLL—Do you mean to be nnderstood in your last answer that there is no constitutional power iu the Gov- ernment. as at present organized, to exact conditions prece- dent to the restoration to political power of the eleven States A. That is my opinion. Q. Do you entertain the same opinion in reference to the amendment to the Constitution abolishing Slavery A. Ido; I think the States, however, abolished r. Bid in good faith, as one of the results of the war; their satisfaction of the Con: stitutional amendment followed as a consequence; I do not think there is any constitutional power on the part of the Gov. ernment to have exacted it as a condition precedent to their restoration under the Constitution, or to the resumption of their wes as members of the Union Q. What, in your opinion, is the legal value of th laws passed by Congress, and approved by the President, iu the ab- sence of Senators and Representatives from the eleven States A. 1 donot know what particular laws you refer to, but my answer generally is, that the validity of all laws depend on determine their constitutionality this is a* question for the judiciary to my own judgment, whatever it might be, would Lave to conform to the judicial determination of the question; it is a question for the Courts to determine, Q Have you formed any opinion upon that question? A. I cannot say that 1 have formed any material opinion iu refer ence to any particular act of Congress embraced jin the ques tion, Q. Assume that Congress shall in this session, in the ab- sence of Senators and Representatives from the eleven States, pass an act levying taxes upon all the people of the United States, including the eleven, is it your opinion that such an act would be constitutional t A. [should doubt if it would be; it wou'd certainly, in my opinion, be manifestly unjust and against all ideas of American representative government; its constitutionality, however, would be a question for the ju cision, whatever it might be Q. If the eleven States have at present an immediate Con- stitutional right to be represented in Congress, on a footing with the States at present represented, has that been a con tinuous right from the formmcion of the Government, or from the time of the admission of the new States respectively, or has it been interrupted by war? A, 1thiuk as the Congress of the United States did not consent to the witudrawal of the seceding States, it was a continuous right ander the Constitu- tion of the United States, to be exercised so soon as the seced- ing States respectively made known their readiness to resuine I opening oft States under the Constitution of the Un Swigart and others. M they Jeet, in perfect good pit As (att 28 tellectual progress. their earnest desire and expectation was feasibility of digging as canal to their former political relations with the Federal Government, under the Constitution of the United States, as the General Goverpment dented the right of Secession; I do not think any of the States attempting to exercise it thereby lost any of their rights under the Constitution as States when their people abandoned that attempt, Q. sit. or not. youropinion that the Legislatures and people of the vleven States respeccvely have at present such a right to elect Senators and Representatives to Congress that it may be exercised without regard to the part which persons elected may have had in the Rebelliont A. I do not think they mid that right in the choice of their Senators and Mem- exercise bers, so as to impair in the slightest degree the Constitutional right of each House for itself to judze of the qualifications of those who might be chosen; the right of the Constitutional election of 8 Sate to choose. and the right of eaen House of Congress to judge of the qualifications of those clected to the indgiog of qualifications, 1 am free to admit that, ia my opinion, no one should he admitted ns a wember of either House of Congress who is not really and truly loyal to the Con- tution of the United States. and to the Government estab- lished by it.

What events or experience of the war have contributed to this changer A. First, the people are satisfied that a resort to the exercise of this right, while it is denied by the Federal Government, will lead to war, which many thought, before the late attempied Secession, would not be the case; and evil wars, they are also very well satisfied, are dangerous to liberty; and, moreover, their experience in the late war, I think, has satish i tiy endaggered their own; 1 allude especially to the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, and lamations of martial law in d them that it gr wilktary conscription, the pro YArions ces, general impressments, and the levying of foreed eontritutions, as well as the very demoralizing effects f war QQ.

The exact for in which it is to be done is not yet fully determined. The property of the Boston Water Power Company con- sists of about 1,600,000 square feet of filled land in the rear of the Public Garden and near Washington-st., in Boston, and about 11,000,000 feet of flats, on unflilled land adjoining. The land as fast as filled is sold, and makes a portion of the weet end of Boston, over which broad avenues and streets are building up parallel with the mill dam and extension of Beacon-st. About 200,000 feet of the filled land has recently been sold at $1 per square foot, and the entire amount of 1,600,000 feet will probably realize that average price. As the land is converted into money, the company divides the proceeds among share. holders, and it is now stated that a dividend of $5 per share will be paid in July.

Christian Eidner came up in tho Superior Court before Justice Ingraham yesterday, Among the decisions published is one in the above case, on an application to set aside the decree obtained against the wife for a divorce. Her story is that in September last there was an azreement that he was to give her $1,000, and $350 per annum, and be separated; and that on that under- standing she signed some paper which she supposed merely a paper for separation. Nhe went therenpon to Hudson iy, and some time afterward discovered that her husband had procured a divorce on the ground of adultery, aud had married again. ‘The plaintifi's affidavits make out a bad caso for the lady, but the Court has decided it on the ground that, as the proceedings were regular, it is a matter of favor to let the defendant be; and as the plaintiff bas been warned again, ant other rights bad iuterve~ed, Le Bra mel gal ing. 1 believe, about the same number, and extending the expedit ventuste and filthy in NMORROES 6F SALISBURY, ll Continuation of the Gee Trinl—Conclusive and Damaging Evidence Testimony of a Trib- une Correspondent—Repenied and Cold Blooded Murders by the Bebels—The tiunrd Ordered to Shoot Colored Soldiers Wherever ¥Yound, From Our Special Correspondent. Rarer, N. C., Thursday Morning, April 12, 1866, The trial of Major John il. Gee was resumed last Mon- day morning, contrary to general expeetation, as it was supposed here the President's Proclamation would cause the discontinuation of the commission. THE ARGUMENT. wl. PD. P. Holland made an argument in behalf of the accused, demanding that further proceedings be quashed, because the proclamation abrogated martial law, on which alone military commissions depended for their validity and existence. He cited various authorities, and at the close of his argument moved for an adjournment, which took place, Tuesday morning, Major Thomas E. Wolcott, the Judge Advocate, replied to Col. Holland, holding that the com. that that instrument did not revoke President Lincoln's Proclamation, issued in September, 1863, which revocation was necessary to the suspension of martial law. The Com- mission had, as much right and power, he claimed, as ever, and the Court sustained him in his opinion. Tho Court then proceeded with the examination of the two remaining witnesses of the prosecution, the war-cor- respondents who escaped, with Mr. Albert DD. Richardson of Tur Trisuxg, from Salisbury, ou the 15th of Decem- ber, 1861, EVIDENCE OF A TRIBUNE CORRESPONDENT. Junius Henri Browne sworn: Am a journalist by pro- fession: was during the Rebellion a war correspondent of THE Nxw-YorK TkiBUNE, and am a resident of that city; was captured May 3, 1863, ranning the batteries of Vicks- burg, and remained a prisoner until the period of my escape, December 18, 1864; was at Salisbury, N.C, when the large number of Union prisoners (enlisted men were gent there, early in October, 1864; prevous to that time, there were 700 or 800 prisoners in the place; the en- listed men, to the number of 9,000 or 10,000, arrived thers between the Sth and 18th of October, and were in as good physical condition as the prisoners of war l had gen. erally shen in the South; they wera very poorly clad, a great many being without shoes or coats or hats, with very few overcoats or blankets among thew; in essocia- tion with Mr, Albert D. Richardson of THE TRIBUNE and Mr. William E. Davis of 7% Cincinnati Gazette, had charge of the hospitals where the Union sick were, CONDITION OF THE SICK. Acted as assistant to one of tho Rebel SUTECONS for two or three weeks, and then visited the outside sick who could not obtain admission to the hospitals for want of room therein, the hospitals could not accommodate more than 400 or 30 patients, and thero were ten times as many sick in the Fare in the tents, and the holes they had dug in the ground; the outside sick were in a depressed and deplorable condition: my opinion, corroborated by that of the Rebel surzeons, was that there were not MN well men in fhe r many of the prisonets were ha!f insane or nearly imbecile, shown by their having no hope, ambition or expectation, no disposition to leave their tents or holes where they were being poisoned by the smoke of the green wood an 1 the vitiated atmosphere for the less corrupt air outside; the numher of deaths in the prison at the time of my escape and for weeks before, 4 and myself estimated, at 00 woe with us a list of the deaths, about 1 800, and iblished in THe TRIBUNE; the deaths occurred, 1 this between the 15th of October, or there. about, and the 15th of December, 1364; another list was taken North when the prisoners were exchanged, contaiu- whole son; LA mv a took North IN it was afterward mt

INSECURITY OF LIFE. Shooting by the Rebel guard was so frequent that no one wondered at it; none of the prisoners with whom I talked—and I had frequent conversations with them on the subject—considered his lifo from hour to hour at all secure; cannot tell how many prisoners were killed and wounded daring my stay at Salisbury; never knew or heard that any one of the guards who had shot prisoners was reprimanded or removed from his post; they ses med to do whatever they chose: saw Moses Smith, a colored soldier, immediately after he was shot; he was 40 or 50 feet from the dead line; he was killed almost instantly, and 1 observed the Rebel youth who killed him laugbing on his post, aud cooly reloading his piece: he was not removed from his post. Went into the main building when the chimney fell, and the guard on the parapet, not far from the entrance, threatened to shoot me; bat Idid not feel disposed to ive him time for that, and I darted into the doorway; 1 fond a musket discharged soon afterward, and learned that two men were shot; did not see them shot; remem- ber that the guard one morning threatened to shoot me, and leveled their picees at me three times in hall an hour, though I was not trausgressing any of the established rules of the prison, nor was I near the dead line. Heard the guards say they were ordered to shoot prisoners when they were in a crowd or assembled together; do not know, personally, the quantity of Jutions glen, but heard the prisoners complain bitterly; they said they were often 24 hours withont a morsel to eat, and Liat sometimes even went without food for 48 hours. CROSS- EXAMINED. Never heard Major Gee order the guards to shoot any- body; some of the surgeons were Kind and attentive, and others were not; the kind ones, we believed, were loyal, and had reason to believe so; Currey, the prineipal sur- goon, was very kind and humane, parently; he held religions exercises before the enlisted men came, but 1 paid little attention to those exercises, feeling no interest in'them, and cannot say if he ever prayed with dying patients; he complained of the condition of the prison and of his inability to obtain from headquarters what he required for the hespitals; he seemed to censure the Rebel officers for neglect; the daily reports of the deaths were sent to him; the title of the book 1 wrote after my eseape is, Four Years in Secessia,” which contained an acconnt of my observations and experiences at Salisbury; my fellow-jourmlist, Mr. Albert D. Richardson, and myself, went to Washington after our escape, and did all we could to secure an exchange of prisoners: we went before the Congressional Committee on the Conduct of the War, and made our statements under oath of the horrors of Nalis- bury; had a pass to the outer hospital, obtained for me withont golieitation by Dr. Howerton, a Rebel surgeon, that 1 might the more readily obtain medicines for the sick: no terms accompanied its acceptance, as 1 wonld not have taken it if there had been; no parole was given or implied or demanded of me; I had always been opposed to taking a parole, as I had for a year aud a half hoped to escape. 1, [Though Mr. Browne was gubmitted to a very rigid cross-examination for nearly three hours, no other points than those given were elicited. EVIDENCE OF ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT. William E. Davis (sworn) —Reside in Cincinnati, Ohio; was taken prisoner May 13, 1861, near Resaca, Ga., while acting as war correspondent of The Cincinnaty Gazette with Sherman's army; wassent to Richmond, Va. and after remaining in Castle Thunder two months was transferred to Salisbury, N. where I remained until my escape on the 18th of December, 1864; was there when a large num- ber of United States prisoners of war came, which was during the first part of October; Was app inted by the Rebel surgeon, as was termed by him, Superintendent of the Hospitals’ inside the stockade; my duties were to appoint ward-masters and nurses, furnish lists of admis- stonsand deaths, and attend to other general duties, pub- ject to the direction of the surgeon; the lists of deaths wore made by the ward masters to me, and recorded under the direction of Mr. A. D. Richardson, who was appointed mysell entered, the doctor playfully remarking that sone men who were destined to die another death could never be drowned. We found the passage much easier than we that the passage had been safely accomplished. Captain would be heard sullenly plunging from side to side, until usual, und declaring that bis curiosity had been amply clerk, 58x Soquel the cfficial report of deaths v pat 01 BRE BTR BREEAM oF Mr. Davis then corroborated the evidence given y Mr. rowne, and which it is not necessary to repeat. bere wsa a large number of tents on the porch at Major Goe's headquarters, when the prisoners were in great distress for want of shelter, and the tents remained there for two weeks before they were brought into the stockade. DELIBERATE MURDERS. On the 2th of October a Union soldier, H, Fry, was Bot dead by the guard while standing in the rear of the bake-house without having committed the least offense; 1 was near by and witnessed the whole affair: the guard was not removed from the post; on the 3d of November, when the chimney fell in the main hospital building, 1 saw Major Gee on the parapet aud heard him order the guard to fire on the men if they did not keep back from the door, when the men eame to look in at the exhuming of the bodies from the ruins; about half an hour after- ward, when the exeitement had entirely subsided, saw the guard shoot two prisoners who were walking leisurely across the yard; one of them was mortally wounded, aud the other severely; Major Gee was on the gates} at the time; the man shot was reported the next day as having died during the night; on the Sth of December, a Union. soldier, Frank Graham, 60th Ohio Infantry, was shot by a guard while sitting in Lis tent: I saw the guard fire, when 1 immediately went into the tent and found Graham in the last agonies of death; the guard remained on the post until the regular relief came; he had walked off his own beat’ to shoot 1 inquired of a Rebel officer for the cause, and he informed me tho next day that the guard saw three negroes in a range and wanted to kill them at one shot; the guards told me that they had orders to shoot the colored soldiers whenever they sme them witnessed the shooting of Moses Smith, a colored soldier, and prevented the guard from firing on three others who were not violating any rules, but simply waiting for some rations under my orders; on the 2st of November, saw John Alexander shot by the guard while lying in his tent; witnessed the alleged attempted outbreak on the 25th of November; 1 know that 67 were killed and wounded at that time: the names were all obtained that evening, and the next morning; on one occasion, one of the numerous unfortunate patients, whose mind was deranged, escaped from the hospital and ran across the dead line, when he was immediately shot by the guard. Mr. Davis will be cross-examined to-day by Col. D, P. Holland and John Wilder of Florida, who have manifested decided ability and energy in conducting the defense, but it is not probable any new points will be elicited. THE TRIAL TO BE CONTINUED. The defense have obtained a writ of habeas corpus here through Judge Fowle of the Superior Court, but Gen. Ruger will not obey the writ, and, from present indica- tions, the trial will be continued until all the witnesses for the defense are examined, I do not expeet the end of this protracted case, as I have often predicted, before the Ist of June. Having looked after it8 proceedings for nearly two months, and having exhausted myself as well "as the in- terest of the situation, 1 shall leave it and Major Gee to the care of the protecting deities, who are kind, I hope, even in North Carolina. A Thrilling Narrative—Miraculous Escape of Parties from a Cave, The Indianapolis Herald of the 12th contains a letter written at Leavenworth on the 8th inst, in which an account of an exploration of the celebrated Dead Man's Cave,” situated near Leavenworth, is given, It contains several thrilling incidents, The exploring party consisted of Major Throckmorton of Louisville, Capt. Holeraft, sheriff Swayne, Dr. E. R. Hawn and Lyman E. Knapp of this place, Mr. Jesse Braudon of Nashrille, and 7% Herald's correspondent.

A letter of the 26th, from Bari, gives the following account of the town of Barletta: “It has about 25,000 inhabitants, of which at least three. fourths belong to the class of coffoni, or agricultural laborers, who do not live in cottages scattered over the country or col lected in villages, as in other countries, but are here ag flom erated in wretched streets of the town, filtuy aud s*in ing. and in certain habitations which should mere properly called stables—the more so as men and women dwell there under the same roof with asses and every variety of domestie animals.

Correspoudence of The N. Tribune, MiLrorp, Del, April 4, 1968, I might date this letter anywhere in a circuit of 20 miles; having within the few last days rampaged over that much of this delightful region—from Dover, in the centee of the State, to within sight of the breakwater at Cape Henlopen. You know what a pleasant expericuce it ia when one gets out of the Lermetically-sealed house of Winter, and stands at the doors of Spring in the genial and soft airs that announce the season of growth, A healthful and renovating fragrance comes from the earth, as soon a8 it is liberated from the crust of frost, even more delectable than the fragrance of flowers. For a month past, the farmers have been plowing bere, and -the labors of the field are fairly established, while yet our Northern nvem the letter, a consultation was had on the bank, to determine whether an attempt should be wade to cross in its present swollen condition, Mr. Knapp, wyself and Sheriff Swayne suggested an abandoument of the expedition, but were overruled by Dr. Hawn, Major Throckmorton, Capt. Holeraft and Mr. Bran- don, who, while admitting the dengerous character of the attempt, declared they would rather perish than abandon ion now, and stand the ridicule which such a movement would entail upon their heads. The boat was accordingly launched, and Capt. Holeraft, Dr. Hawn and expected, ‘aptain Holeraft took the oars, while I grasped the tiller, and the doctor held aloft the flambeaun, A few vigor- ous strokes, and, with a sensation of relief, we felt the keel grate upon the pebbles of a sloping bauk on the other shore, in still and quiet water, A lusty cheer from the doctor made the cavern ring, and inforned the rest of the party Ki Holerait then returned, and soon brought over the re- mainder of the party. Continuing the exploration, the party came toa place where was discovered a deep circular hole, apparently al most bottomless, Stones dropped into its gaping mouth the noise of their desecnt was lost in the abyss far below. Mr. Knapp being the lightest of the party, was let down bv a strong cord a distance of some thirty yards, when he vigorously siguified that he had seen enough by jerking the rope.” He was drawn up, looking a trifle paler than satisfied. Mr. Knapp said that, after descending a distance of 15 or 90 feet, numerous winged things, apparently bats, flitted constantly about his ears, vicionely susppiug their mandi- bles tozether with a devilish sort of twitter. One of these, cold, elammy, and inexpressibly nasty, alighted on his face and inflicted severe bite, Mr. Knapp nearly fainted with disgust, and declared that if the rope had not been tied under his ars he would have fallen, The party having become quite satisfied with sight secing underground, were about ready to leave for day- light, when, upon the earnest solicitation of Dr. Hawn, the patty was to continue the explorations a little vond. when, says the writer, the most painful portion of the story commences. The which suddenly narrowed, arty entered a new cavern, r. Knapp, going first, passed through the opening on his hands and knees, and entered another large ehamber. Dr. Hawn, who isa v heavy man, attempted to follow, and became inextricably fixed in the passage. He could neither get forward nor back. For three hours the party worked ncessantly, but all to no pargese. We sent back to the river and got the iron stake, with which the boat had been fastened, to use as a crow-har, With this the doctor might have been extricated, but here a new calamity manifested itself. One by one the lamps had buried out, until barely enough oil was left to light us on our way back to the river. The thought of being imprisoned iu that living tomb was too terrible to be endured, for we knew that, without light, we could never find our way back. A panic seized upon the party, and hastly leaving the doctor and Mr. Knapp to their fate—for the doctor's body effectually blocked up the way against Mr. Knapp's return —we rapidly retraced our steps, crossed the river and re- turned to the town, A hoi of oil, tools, cte., were pro- cured, and although fatigued almost to the point of dis- ability, we returned to the cave, determined to rescue our comrades or perish in the attempt. The river was crossed, and we proceeded to the grand chamber where we had taken our lnuch, accompanied by numerous citizens of Leavenworth, But, search as closely as we would, we could not find the gallery in which the doctor aud Mr. Knapp were entombed. In vain we explored and shouted, until worn out and fainting. All to no purpose. Nearly three days have passed sinee we rst entercd the cave, and during all that time it bas been full of people nselessly hunting for the two anfortunate men, One after another of the various gal leries leading from the grand chamber have been explored aud blazed with chalk-tarks, but still the missing men cannot be found. We are beginning to lose heart, but will persevere as long as there is the fuiutest hope. The guide of the Mammoth Cave, in Kentucky, has been sent for to assist in the search. I shall remain here un day or two longer, to do what little I can, aud will in- form you if the men or their bodies are found. Mr. Knapp has sinee been found. He wandered about the cavern and was at last fortunate enough to find an open ing in an old sink-hole, where Le was found by a hunter, 56 hours after he was left by the party in the cavern, Dr. Hawn had not been discovered at last accounts.

Florence (March 20) Corresponlence London Times. The Barletta massacre turns out to be very little wferior in atrocity and extent to the worst of the first accounts that reached us, and the Dirritto sexrcely spoke 1n an exagger- ated strain when it deelared that a priest, at the head of an ignorant and bratal people, bad renewed in little Barletta the savage scenes of the night of St. Bartholomew in France. A fetter of the 24th of March, from Barletta, published in the Corricre delle Marche, says: “‘I'hree houses burned and six persons killed. T visited the ruins this morning, and the families of some of the victims. I will dot dwell on the painful Impression produced by the black: ened walls and broken furnitare, the traces of blood still visi- ble on walls and pavement, and the grict of weeping orphans; 1 will limit myself to facts. It appears tuat the Lent preachers, instead of exciting the faithinl to repentance, regularly preached hatred to the Protestants, representing their destruc: tion as a necessary work, good and agreeable in the sight of a God of love, No wonder if such bad seed produced abominable fruit. But it appears that politics and reaction were combined with religious motives, I am assured that 115 houses were doomed to sack and ire, and that a List of them is in the bands of justice. Be that as it may, on Monday. the 19th instant, a horde of fanatics entered the house in whieh the Evangelical meetings are held, and killed in cold blood two brothers who fell into their hands, smashed everything in the house, and then set fire to it. ‘The proprietor aud the preacher escaped over the roof, and I am bappy to say that the latter found shelter in the house of the Canon Gabriel Rizzi.

SOIL AND PRODUCTS OF DELAWARE. There are no rocks and stones below Newcastle auats. There are no hills, and consequently no streams liable freshets, and no gullics in the fund. Nearly every foot of if is available for planting. The svrface is gently rolling, and the roads so smooth that transport by spring wagons is and rapid. The soil is generally a sandy loam, with a soil of yellow clay. Shallow plowing has exhausted the top in some places, giving the appearance of poor land where a deep turrow ouly would give a fair erop. It is nod many years since some of the poorer people in Lower Dela ware used plows with a wooden share, so light and casily turned is much of this soil; yet it is very productive with 8 usval addition of fertilizing manures, The lightness of i8 is highly favorable to certain cultures, such as sweet potas toes, the peach, strawberry, aud fruits generally. The rain penetrates it and rests on the clay-bed beneath, and is not, as from hilly grounds, carried o i the surface to fill the streams and to wear gullies, But there is no lack springs and water basizs in the peninsula, There are more mill-dams than 1 have seen in much travel throngh most of the Northern States, giving gels erally an excellent undershot power to the connuon wheel, and good efficiency to the turbine.

When the leaves of a tree curi and shrivel wit “the yellows,” it is immediately dug up and burned, the spot not replanted, so the disease is kept under.

8. NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 1866. Ye brave, to reward you; MR CARLYLE'S ADDRESS TO THE EDINBURGI STUDENTS.

Mr. CARLYLE, on rising to address the students, Raving thrown off Lis robe, came to the table amid loud cheers. When the storm of applavse bad subsided, be said. Gentle aves: 1 have accepted the office you have elected me to, and have now the duty to return thanks for the great honor done sve. Your enthusiasm toward me, 1 admit, is very beaatiful potwithstanding the wildness and ferocionsness of their nature. ‘They believed that Jupiter Optimus Maximus was the lord of the universe, and that he had appointed the Romans to become the chief of men, pro: vided they followed bis commands —to brave all fdiffienlty, and to stand up with aa invincible front—to be ready to do and die: and also to have the same sacred regard to veracity, to promise, to integrity, and all the virtues that surronnd that noblest quality of man—c( urage—to which the Romans gave {he name of virtue, manhood, ns the one thin ennobling for a man. In the literary ages of Rome, that had very much de- caved away; but still it bad retained its place among the lower classes of the Roman people. Of the deeply religions nature of the Greeks, along with their beautiful and sunny effulgencies of art, you have striking proof, if you look for it. In the trage- dies of Sophocles, there is a most distinct recognition of the eternal justice of Heaven, and the unfailing punishment of crime against the laws of God. I believe you will find in all histories that that has been at the head and foundation of them all; and that no nation that did not contemplate this wonderful oni- people, #n itself, however nndeserved it may be in regard to the object of it. 1t is a feeling honorable to all men, and one well known to wyself when I was in a position analogous to your own. I ean only hope that it may endure to 20 bonor those whom you think worthy of honor; and that you will come to be more and more sclect and diger! choice of the object of it, for I can well understs will modify your opinions of me and many things else as you on.

Infact, Thad meant to throw out some loose ob Servations—loose in point of order, 1 mean—in uch a way as Ley may ocenr to me—the thoughts I bave in we about the usiness you are engaged in, the race you hay started on, what $and of race it is you young gentlemen Lave begun, and what sort of arena you are likely to find in this world.

I will endeavor to #ay nothing that is not troe as far as 1 can manage, $s pretty wuch all that 1 can engage for. [A lacgh.) wices, I believe, to young men—as to all men—are very seldom such valued. There is a great deal of advisio thful performing—and talk that does not end in apy kind of tion is better suppressed altogether. 1 would not, therefore, fo much into advising; but there is one advice 1 must give fils me with ap- nothing worth t score. You ou. It is. in fact, the summary of all advices, and you bave ard it thousand times, 1 dare say; but I must nevertheless Bet you bear it the thousandth and first time, for it is most in Revsely true, whether you will believe it at present or LOt—ViZ, fhat above all things the interest of your own life, wpon being diligent now while it is called to-day, in this place s¥here you have come to get education.

At the same time, it was thought by that it was a very dangerons thing, and would never suit at all, The lawyers began to make an jmmepse noise aboot it. [Laughter.] Al the public—the great mass of solid and well-disposed people who had got no deep insight into such mutters, were very adverse to it, and the I'resident of it —old Sir Francis Rous, who translated the Pealms—those that we sing every Sunday in the church yet—a very good man, and a wise map, and Provost of Eton—he got a great number of the parliament to go to Oliver the Dictator and lay down their functions altogether and declare officially with their signatures on Monday morning that the parliament was dissolved. The thing was passed on Saturday night, and on Monday morning Rous came and said, “We cannot carry on the affair any longer, and we remit it into the Lands of your Lighness.” 1 give ow this as an instance that Oliver felt that the parlisment That Chancery, and that there was no doubt of the propriety of abolishing Chancery. or reforming it in some kind of wey, He considered it, and this is what be did.

The history of the Romans and Greeks #ill first of all concern you; and you will find that the classical knowledge you Lave got will be extremely applicable to eluei- aste that. There you have the most remarkable races of men the world set before you—to say nothing of the languages, akich your professors can better explain, and which, I Charles sclieve, are admitted to be the most perfe we h we have yet found to exist among men. a will find, if you read well, a pair of extremely remarkable na- tions shining, in the 8 left by themselves, as a kind of pillar to hgbt up life in the darkness of the past ages; and it wii be well worth your while if you can get into the under. standing of what these people were, and what they did. You will find a great deal of hearsay, as 1 have found, that does not swuch on the matter; but perhaps some of you will get to see Roman and Greek face to face; you will know in some measure how they contrived to exist, and to perform their feats in the world. J believe, also, you will find a thing not much noted, that there was a ver, feat deal of deep religion in both na- tions. ‘I'bat is noted by the wisest of historians, aud partica. larly by Ferguson, who is particularly well worth reading on Homan history—and who, 1 believe, was an alumous of our own uuivereity, His book is a very creditable book.

That is an instance of the manner in which things were done when a dictatorship prevailed in the country, and that was what the Dictator did.

But to get what you want you will bave to look into side wources, and inquire in all directions. I remember getting Collina's Peerage” to read=a very poor peerage as a work of genius, but an excellent book for diligence and fidelity. I was writing on Oliver Cromwell at the time. Applause. I could get no biographical dictionary, and I thought the peerage hook would help me, at least tell me whether people were old or young, and about all persons cencerned in the actions about which I wrote. I got a great deal of help out of poor Collinge. He was a dilligent and dark London bookseller of about a hundred years ago, who com- piled out of al! kinds of parchment chests, archives, books that were authentic, and all kinde of things out of which he could get it, the information he wanted. He was a very meritorious man. 1 not only found the solution of anything I wanted there, but I began gradually to perceive this immense fact, which I really advise every one of you who read history to look out for, if be has not already found it. It was that the Kings of England, all the way from the Korman Conquest down to the time of Charles the Ficst bad appointed, so far as they knew, those who deserved to be appointed peers. They were all royal men, with minds full of justice, and valor, and humanity, and all kivds of qualities that are good for men to have who ought to rule over others. Then their genealogy was remarkable--and there is a great dea! more in genealogies than is gneerally believed at present, I never heard tell of any clever man that came out of entirely stupid people.

One remark more about od reading. I do not kuow whether it has been sufficiently rought home to you that there are two kinds of books. When a man is reading on any kind of subject, in most departments of books—in all books, if you take it in a wise sepse—you will find that there is a division of good books and bad books—there is a good kind of a book sud a bad bing of a book, dag nat 16 mesnmme ghar YOu wie al yer ul Which ihe vir thipg we can kop 19 £0 08 With THs Would contrary live by Oliver.

The man who is the eldest of the three says to Goethe: “You give by Nature to the well formed children you bring into the world a great many precious gifts, and very frequently these are best of all developed by Nature herse f, with a very slight assistance where assistance is seen to be wise and profitable, and with forbearance very often on the part of the overlooker of the srocess of education; but there is one thing that no child brings into the world with it, and without which all other who is there beside him, says, things are of no use,” Wilhelm, it,” says the «What is that All who enter the world want eldest; “perhaps you yourself.” Wilbelm says, “Well tell me what it is “It is,” says the eldest, Reverence.” Ehr- furcht—'"Roveronce i" Honor done to those who are grander “and better than yon, without fear; distinct from fear. Ehr- furcht—~The soul of all religion that ever has been among men, or ever will be.” And then he goes into preeticality, He practica’ly distinguishes the kinds of religion that are in the world, and Le makes out three reverences. The boys are all trained to go through certain gesticulations, to lay their hands on their breast and look up to heaven, and they give their three reverences. The first and simpiest is that of reverence for what is above us, It is the soul of all the pagan religions; there 18 nothing better in man than that, Then there is revercnce for what is around us and about us—reverence for our equals, to which he attributes an immense power in the culture of man. Tle third is reverence for what is beneath us—to learn to recog- nize in pain, sorrow and contradiction, even iu those things, odious as they are to flesh and blood—to learn that there lies in these a priceless blessing. And be defines that as being the son! of the Christian religion—the highest of all religions; a Leight, as Goethe says-—and that is very true, even to the let- ter, ns I consider—a height to which the human species Was fated and enabled to attain, and from which, having once at- tained it, it can never retrograde. It cannot descend down below that permanently, Goethe's idea is. Often one thinks it was good to have a faith of that kind—that always, in the most degraded, sunken, and unbelieving times, he ealculates there will be found some few souls that will recognize what that meant: and that, the world having once received it, there is no fear of its retrograding. He goes on then to tell us the way in which they seek to teach bovs—in the sciences particu: larly, whatever the boy is fit for, Wilhelm left bis own boy there, expecting they would make him a master of arts or gome- thing of the kind; and when he comes back for him, he sees a thunder cloud of dust coming over the plain, of which he could make nothing. It turned out to be a tempest of wild horses, managed by young lads who bad tern for hunting with their rove. JUis own sou was among them; and he found that the weaking of colts was the thing he was most suited for. [Laughter.) This is what Goethe calls art, which 1 should not make clear to you by any definition unless it were clear already. [A langh.] 1 would not attempt to define it as music, painting, poetry, aud so on; itis in quite a Ligher sense than the com- mon oue,and in which, I am afraid, most of our painters, poets and music men, would not pass wuster.

He will go and obey one man, and walk into the cannons mouth for biw, and do anything whatever that is commanded him by Lis general officer; and 1 believe all manner of things in this way could be done if there were anything like the some attention bestowed, Very many things could be regimented and organized into the mute syste of education that Goethe evidently adumbrates there, But, 1 believe, when people look into it, it will be found that they will not be very long in trying to make some efforts in that direction: for the saving of hnman labor, and the avoid- ance of human misery, would be uvaccountable if it were set about and begun even in part.

He is a man who holds his tongue; he bas great disciplined armies; ke can bribe anybody you Like io your cities here, be is goiog on steadily with an unvarying aim toward bis object; and be will iufallibly beat any kind of men such as you, going on raging from skore to shore with all that rampant nonsense.” Demosthenes said to Lim one day, The Athenians will get mad some day and kill you.” “Yes,” FPhocion says, “me, when they are mad, and 4% BOON 88 they et sane again, you." [Laughter and ap: plause.] It is also told about him going to Messene on some deputation that the Atbenians wanted on some kind of mat- ter of an intricate aud contentious nature, that Phocion went with some story in his mouth to speak about. He was a man of few words, of no unveracity; aud after ne had gone on telling the story a certain time, there was one burst rer tioy One man interrupted with something be tried to answer, and then another; and, finally, the people began bragging and bawling in endless debate. Phoelon drew back altogether struck dumb, and would not speak another word to any man, and he left it to them to decide in any way they liked. It appears to me there is o kind of eloquence in that which is equal to anything Demosthenes ever said, Take your own way, and let me out altogetber.’ [Applanse.)

SOIREE AT THE ACADEMY OF DESIGN, rl Forty-firest Annual Exhibition, The April shower that set in, last evening, jst about nightfall, kept the word of the old proverb, and brought out May flowers enough to fill the Academy to overflowing. Faces so fair hardly needed the somewhat lavish toilettes for a foil, but the toilettes had their revenge as ono took in ata lance the pretty spectacle of the corridor and staircase where faces are lost, but where silks and laces and flowers unite with the architecture to make a picture we do not easily forget. The music was excelient, and everything passed off pleasantly. We coeld have wished the rooms larger and the corridor wider; but, we suppose, an increase of room would simply lead to more invitations, and the difficulty of the crowd would remain comparatively the same, As for the pictares, we could only get an impression, The crush of people and the insuflicient light makes it impossible to see any picture well. The rooms are well filled, and we find a nomber of new names, There is a singular absence of names we have become accustomed to consider ag necessary to an exhibition, We were about to mention some of the ab- sentees, but we will wait until we can find light and room for a careful study. Meanwhile, let us run over the pictores that, seen over yonthful heads, and ivory shoulders, obscured by portentous chignons and fluttering fans, geemed to promise many a pleasant half hour of study when the time for study shall come. Mr. William Hunt's two crayon studies and the figisbed life-size oil from one of them, although re. calling strongly certain French work, yet show growth. They are far stronger and healthier, and lese affected than his pictures in the last Academy; he has, at length, something to say, and is rapidly learning to say it. Mr. Eastman Johnson sends three pictures—perhaps wore, but these are enough. One of them, the Family Prayer,” showe bis full power. A portrait in the South Room we take to be by Furniss of Philadelphia. It mates with Mayer's Melancholy, Hunt's Mother and CLild, and Huntington's Gulian Verplanck, a quatrain of interesting picturce. Mr. Lay bas painted a striking portrait of Mr. C. C. Coleman, the artist; and we Lope that we shall find that Coleman himself, with Griswold and Vedder, are not entirely unrepresented, although we could find nothing last night. Mr. Weirs's pic- ture of the Kemble Iron Foundery, of which we have Leard so wach dering the past year, promises to be a serious and manly work at which, if it proves so, we shall not be surprised. Mr, Whittredge's large picture was warmly spoken of by those who had bad the opportunity of seeing it by daylight; it scemed to be the ouly landscape of any pretension eon tributed by the better known among the academicians, Among the ladies we found a little picture, by Miss Oakley, carefully drawn, as usual, and if not many steps in advance of last year's work, certainly in no degree deteriorated. As for the naturalists, Mr. Moore, Mr. Farrer. the Hills, father and son, they have deserted in a body, so that there seems a doable defection; of which, indeed, ru mor whiopers something. Mr. Newman sends two drawings in water-color, and would, we learn, have sent sthers, had pot ill-health prevented. Shall we be thought to say too much if we ventare our opinion that Miss McDonald's two contribu. tiong—bLer pencil drawing of a cat, and her ater color land: scape—almost make amends, by their excelle.ce, for the ab- sence of these gentlemen t This does not mean that we can spare them; their absence is inexplicable, and, at this time, hurtful, but so is that of others. Oue great improvement we record with satisfaction. The Hanging Committee has weeded out with an unsparing hand vulgar and ridiculous pictures, such a8 have of late years been alowed to enter, to the surprise and displeasure of educated Perhaps this will account for the entire absence of a people. few nawes from the catalogue, but the public is greatly the giver, Enough for tomnignt, ‘The exhibition marks, we think, wore decidedly than any recent one the change that is taking place i our dese of art and in modes of study. The charge was inevitable, and, as it has seemed to us, had been too Jorg delayed, Now that it has begun, let us Lope that it will prove not merely change, but progress.

Burrs Heav, Monday, April 16, We have in market to day, 3,158 bullocks, and there were 700 sold here Friday aod Saturday: =00 at Bergen; 324 went direct to slangi ter-houses, and we estimate 200 sold at the down town stables. waking 5,144, which 1s a supply for the week, quite sufficient to nccount for the fact, that although brokers and speculators made a desperate effort early in the morning to advance the rates of lust Monday, they were ou the whole un. successful, As it was a rainy, uncowfortable morning, and many butchers were anxious to get through their busicess as soon ns possible, and as an impression prevailed at first that the supp'y was short, it is very probable that a good many of the early buyers of first class stock, paid half a cent higher than our last weck’s quotations; but on the whole we do not see Low we can make the quotations generally, higher now than then certainly not for meaium and inferior qualities of stock, for which the demand was slow all the fore. noon, and positively dull all the afternoon, with a prospect of closing harder than last Monday. The supply of first-class stock 1s not quite equal to the demand; of other classes it is ample; as some persons who purchased at bigh last Monday. The buyers of it declare prices higher. The rates at Albany will find to their cost. Most of the sellers of such stock declare this market lower than that of careful comparison of prices both days, with no theory upou our part to maintain, convinces us that if there is any change, it 1s tu favor of buyers, rather than sellers. It in true that a good many first-class cattle sold to-day at 17@15¢. per B— pos- sibly more than last week; but at the same time, we see plenty of really good. fair killing steers at 15a 16¢., and rougher ones at 14a ibe. counting only the pounds of meat, sinking the value of hides and fat, which are estimated in Boston quota. tions. As we close these observations, the trade appears to be winding up bad for all who bave cattle on haud this evening. The sheep market is higher, with lively trade at 7@8¢. per m for sheared, and 8 a9. for wooled sheep, with about 2,000 at Browning's equally divided as to wooled and sheared. A lot of Ware's Olio sheared, averaging 1074, sold at 7jc. per m, no culls out. There are 19 cars of hoge on the market this morning, not very active at 10a 104e. for In, the rainy weather being unfa- vorable to sil owuers of hogs as well as cattle, ntl m— Terr oF $5,000 BY AN ERrRAND-Boy—HEg 18 Durrp BY TWO CONFEDFRATES— ARREST OF THE THIEVES, AND RECOVERY OF Most oF THE MOKEY.—On the 10th inst, David I. King, an errand boy in the employ of Messrs. Mor. ris Draine, brokers, of No. 7 Broad-st.. was intrusted with a United States gold certificate for the sum of $5,000, for the {alnse of taking it to the firm of Messrs, Marsh Co, in Wall-st. Instead of doing so, he met by appointment, two other boys named James Davis and William Downes, and banded to them the certificate, with the understanding that they were to cash it and share the proceeds. Davis and Downes procured from the office of the United States As sistant Treasnrer five $1.000 gold checks, and instead of dividing the proceeds with King, they took the first train for Philadelphia. King could not satisfactorily account for the loss of the check, and, after beiug closely questioned, at length admitted baving stolen the check, and given it to the boys mentioned above. Detectives Farley and Dusenbury were notified of the occurrence, and at once took the matter in hand. They learned that the boye had been seen in Philadel phia, and at once went on there, On Sunday they arrested the boys, and in their possession was found 84,000 in gold and over $500 iu Treasury Notes. The rest of the money bad been spent by the boys iu a variety of ways. The prisoners were brought on to this city, and, together with Kiuvg, who had been arrest ed, pleaded guilty and were committed by Justice Hogan, They are aged about 17 years each.

The check was received by Mr. Henry W. Collins, one of the employés, and a receipt given to Kare for it. It was forwarded for collection, and on the 14th inst. Mr. Collins received n telegram from the President of the Bauk of Hartford, informing him that the check was a forgery, Yesterday Kane called at the express office, and was at once arrested by Officer Ottignon of the Broadway Squad on the Cow plant of Colling.
