HIGH TIMES AT WELLSBURo.-We

been some high times among our Wells
burg nelghbors. On Friday evening
last, the Union men. elated over their
recent victory at the polls, INDUCED in
n large bonfire-to assist in which the
cord-woOd and store boxes of some of
the citizens of the place wero placed
under forced contribution, tho whole
being topped or with an ambulance
lately from South Carolina. On Satur-
day some personal affairs came of, in
which, We understand, were engaged
several OF the leaders of both parties in
the place. Tho Union mon are said to
have been quite lively over their sue
cess. Our informantstatest that no such
times have been seen in WeIIsburg
since the war. The copperheads arc
noisy, preaching their doctrines out
spOkenly on all occasions. AS a natu-
raj consequence much bitter feeling ex-
lists, and several e,Heutes have taken
plnce, and many others nre ON the tapis.

Debate ON the Constitutional Amsnd-
mant.


Tho Washington correspondent of
the Cincidnati Gazette, under dato of
the 9th inst, says; ~
The debate on the Constitutional
amendment in the House to-day illus
trated at once the most hopeful and
the most discouraging phase of Ken
lucky Unionism. Brutus Clay who
had been looked upon as an emanci-
pationist, holding substantially the
views of his brother Cassius, and who
voted for Colfax for Speaker in the
organization of the House, violently
opposed tho amendment, while George
Yeaman, who has always acted with
the Democrats, was a member of tho
Chicago Convention, and voted for
Mcclellan and Pendleton, came out in
a strong and manly speech in favor of
the amendment. Mr.. Yeaman's ac-
tion today places him in the front
rank of the men whom tho new. order
of things is to put at tho head of pol
itics in kentucky. Voorhees, speech
was very short, and contrary to his
usual practice, was read from tho man
uscript. 1t was chiefly remarkable for
his admission that slavery was dead,
and that whether we subdue the re-
bellion or not, tho institution could
never be revived. Hence, he said he
cared very little about the proposed
amendment; but still, on the princi-
pie of the general disposition to
changes in the fundamental law of
the land in revolutionary times, he
should vote against it. A year ago,
when James Brooks made a similar
declaration about the death of slave
ry, Voorhees, sprang TO his feet in
great excitement and said, THE gen
tleman spoke for himself alone, not
for the party" Times have changed
since then, and he seems to have
changed with them. Some Republi-
cans claim to have facts enabling
them to know positively that the
amendment will pass, but the gene
raj expectation Is that 1t Will be de-
feated, Only fve names can be counted
upon Of members who were against it
la't year, and are certain to vote for
it now. These are Randall and Yea
man, of Kentucky, and Robbins and
King, of Missouri, and Ashley of Ohio
who voted against it before in order
to move q reconsideration. Besids'
these, Ganson and Nelson of New
York, are quoted as saying they would
vote for it, if their votes would carry
it; and two or three other Democrats
arc suspected to be in the same doubt
full state, while not less than twenty o
them are knownto desire its passage
though themselves unwilling TO takt
the responsibility of voting for it.

pn-O One of tho field agents Of tho
Christian Commission writes (Deccm-
Der II, 1861 of religious matters in
tho army before Richmond as follows
"Our work is prospering greatly
We had last week nine chapel tents
in which meetings were held every
evening. They were crowded every
night, and great many conversions
were. reported by the delegates in
charge Of them. have no doubt six
hundred conversions have taken place
within the last month in connection
with the labors of the Christian Com
mission, We are in a much better
condition for labor this winter thar
we were at this time year ago. W.
