CncVed states Government to the error of their
aFcesiors IN consenting to a compromise with the
rorthern states by which two ohfths Of the slaves
IN the South were excluded In the numerical
basis Of representation After a spirited debate
IL was finally decided to sit in secret session by

Rhett laid on the table and ordered to be printed
and to be disposed Of according to the action upon

isned with the Constitution, and offered a resolu-
tion declaring that in the opinion Of the Conven-
ZION the Constitution should be amended upon

Other resolutions were also introduced express
ing the same spirit and requesting tue Constitu-
uon to be amended so that no person shall be an

shall enter into the basis Of representation; that
Congress should not control the time, place, and
manner OF electing representatives; and that the

ExTRADITios CAsE.-A tall Southerner, who
has been boarding at the St Lawrence Hail for
the past few days. was arrested and lodged In Jail
on Tuesday morning, at the instance ofa creditor
who came on from New York for him, after track
ing him through great part Of the Southern
States. The amount which he 10 alleged to have
swindled his creditors out Of is over 600, and
was 80 swindled while he was residing and doing
a large business In Brownsville, Texas, under the
name Of E. Karpelas. He 10 said to defy his
creditors and offers TO commute with them fifteen
cents on the dollar. On the other hand, 1t is
stated, that the plaintiffs have acted on the most
able legal advice and feel confident that the case
is one which comes under the provisions Of the
Exirsdition treaty. Under present political cir
cumstances 1t remains to be seen how the treaty
will stand with respect to Texas, a seeded State

Position OF GOVERNOR HoUsroN.-The follow
ing is the closing portion Of Gov. Houston's ad-

position she assumes. Her people have declared

island and at the station, shall have been tried
A letter has been received In Philadelphia from
agara, dated Aden January 10th, stating that they
expect to arrive at Boston in the Niagara between
the 18th Of April aud 1st of May.
Matters at the Brooklyn Navy Yard Were not 80
dull, for some months, as they are now. num-
ber Of men were discharged last week, there not
being work for them. The force now on the
rolls is less than thousand, and the monthly dis
bursements do not average more than SAC, COO
independent of the officers pay. In the machine
shops, the machinery Of the Roanoke and Wabash
is receiving an overhauling, and Chief Engineer
King contenplates the addition to them Of val
liable Improvements. The ordnance officers have
no new ornaments under way, and merely
putting those lately taken from on board vessels
In an efficient state. The cannon have not, az
yet, been put on the new guE-ground, which will
be one of the chief ornaments Of the Navy Yard.
The Marine Garrison, under the control Of Capt.
Brevoort, consists of nearly hundred men, who
are drilled three or four times week, under the
supervision of Major Doughty. The receiving
ship North Carolina has nearly three hundred
and fifty hands on board, the marine guard being
also exercised periodically on shipboard, and in
the parade ground by Sergeant Libby, who has
made them perfect soldiers. No drafts at
present ordered for sea-going ships. Annexed is
list of the vessels at the Navy Yard, with some
account Of their condition:
The steam frigate Roanoke is still in dock,
slowly preparing for service orders. She could
not be ready in less than three months.
The steam frigate Wabash is alongside the pier,
awaiting the completion of her machinery. She
could be fitted out in six weeks.
The steam frgate Powhatan, lately returned
from the Gulf, is In commission at the wharf, and
waiting orders. She could be kept in active
service more than three months In her present
state.
The corvette Savannah, late flagship Of the
home squadron, is lying in the stream, ,dismanted.
She should be thorou ghly overhauled, which
would take two months, before being At for duty.

NAVIGATION OF THE MISSISSIPPI The Treas
ury Department Of the Southern Confederacy has
issued circular Instructions to the Collectors of
the Confederate states as to the performance of
their dntes In reference to vessels navigating the
Mississippi river. As the regulations TO be oh
served are Of interest to a large portion OF the
Of ths circulars:
GAN boats coming from any port outside the
limits OF the Confederate States and living upon
Ine M lsisspPi river, must come to at the port of
Norioik, otherwise known az Nelm's Landing
In the State Of Mississippi, and there report tie
name OF rnet vessel and captain where they are
Tom, and their point Of destination and exhibi,
see crson officer full duplicates Of their entire
ergo. u - also made the duty of said custom
onceT et fne port Of Norfolk to board each vessel
SO enser ng the Confederate States from any place
aooee the limits Of the Confederacy, and TO de-
SIver to each vessel SO boarded a certificate, as
"PoRr or, DAY OF, 1S-.
"Permission is hereby given to land the goods
described by - entries in this schedule at the
places designated therein.
GA. B, Revenue Oficer.
"Any goods not intended for delivery within
the Confederate States shall be allowed to pass
free, the master being required to exhibit the
manifest and schedule in duplicate Of all goods
intended to be landed, their value, name Of con-
signee, and point Of destination"
tcould not be expected that these regulations
any others that would obstruct the free naviga,
ton Of the Mississippi river, could be enforced
without exciting opposition from the western
SAtes Already, we perceive, the following reso-
lutons on the subject have been offered in the
Legislature Of Kentucky:
Whereas, This General Assem- bly, is Informed
that certain persons acting a Congress of the
Seeding States have assumed power TO obstruct
and regulate the free navgaiono of the Mississippi
river by the citizens of this Union to whom IL
belongs; therefore be IL
"Rsso!rsd by the General Assembly of the Com
rloHtcsaIth of Kentucky, That Kentucky having
as much right to the Mississippi river TO its free
unobstructed navigation, as Louisiana or any
other State. and that right being of vital impor-
lance to her people feels 1t her duty herself and
her sister States at the earliest day. to make this
her most solemn protest against any assumption
OF such power TO control the navigation Of that
river as utter without right proper authority,
and as what she cannot and will not submit to-
Rssolred further, That the States in the val
ley Of the Mississippi be earnestly requested to
mite with Kentucky in this protest sgainst the
violation of a mutual right So vitality important

UNION DEMoSsTRArIoS IN RIcHMoND-THz
FLAG OF THE SOUTHERN CoNFKDERAcY Torn
INTO RIBBoNs.-An immense Union meeting was
held In Richmond Friday night, and appears to
have been marked with deep earnestness and
energy Of purpose. At an early stage Of the pro-
ceedings the hag Of the Union was displayed
from the speaker platform, and evoked an ex-
preston Of natural enthusiasm quite thrilling in
effect.
Able and forcible speeches were made on the
occasi on by James b Dorman, of Rockbridge, and
Col. John b. Baldwin, Of Augusta, members OF
the State Convention, and by Marmaduke John
son, Esq.
During Mr. Baldwins speech party Of young
men entered the church bearing a flag Of the
southern Confederacy. The appearance Of the
new banner excited a storm Of indignation. Its
bearers were forced out Of the building amid
great confu sion and excitement, and the Obnox-
fous bunting being seized, was speedily torn into
tfbbons
