ST. PAUL. Fzilay, Feb. -,
The Senate today passed the. amendment
TO 1he State Constitution 20 that neSrutB may
be allowed the privilege to vote. The bill
had previously passed the House, 50 that 1t is
now ready to so before the people. A vote
will be taken on the proposition at the No.

At last Minnesota has ratified the amend
ment to the United States Constitution. The
history Of the attair would be amusing If the
matter was not too serious, The House
passed the Ill ratifying tue amendment. and
the same day It reached the Senate a reso-
luton was introduced for the same object,
and both were referred to special conm!... :.ee.
who threw them away and introduced a ioint
resolution, which VAS passed and sent to the
House. The House adhered to and returned
its original bill, which the Senate then
amended, making the House bib the Joint
resolution. The House agreed to this after
referring It 10 special committee, but
amended, making it o concurrent instead OF q
joint resolution, and to-day the Senate con-
CURED In this last amendment, and Mime

count because the people feel ashamed Of the
delay, and don't want the impression to 20
abroad that II WAS owing to any unwilling

that has supplied them with tile yital powc;s
to keep up the rebellion, has fallen. VIII.

England will vail bitterly, and some of the
neutral English merchants will 90 into
bankruptcy. Blockade runners are now be-
low par, for there Ia no port to run
into save Galveston, and that will
not be allowed to remain omen
long. The rebels will undoubtedly
1oek k&l'on this capture rs IN additional in
ccntiyc for cheerfuluese, and STE In it hidden
sources Of great Joy. The capture was an
easy one after the eyacuatioo of Fort Auder-
son. Gen. Coz followed up The eunison Of
the fort on The west side Of the river, while,
on the cast side, Gen. Terry pressed Hokes
forces so closely that they could
not communicate with the tusi
tive garrison acrosa the river,
General Cox overlook them, and
b3tt!e cpsued resultingin their rout with a
loss Of four guns and three hundred prison.
.crs. Ger. Cox then pressed on to the city.
Upon his a1riynl, the rebels burned the bridges
acroas the brunswick river, destroying an
imIacnsc amount Of cotton and rogin
and that night ORIGINATING the
city. The hext day, the anniversary
of Wafhing TOMS birthday, our forces took
possession, capturing in all thirty cannon
and 700 prisoaers.
The Richmond Despatch states tho condi-
ton of the campaign concisely as follows:
Sherman is advancing steadily and unopposed
through South Carolina, Beauresard filling
back towards Charlottesville. Gen. Fosters
forces are making demonstrations on the
Neuse and Roanoke Rivers, while strong
force from East Tennessee is moving to strike
Dcnurega1d's flank. In the meantime it
might have added that Wilmington has been.
captured, giving Sherman a new base, thus
settling the case and certainty Of his supplies
beyond my question.
Singleton, the Illinois Coppcrhead, and
Judge Hughes, Of Indiana, are on thelr way
to Richmond it appears, on private business
We sincerely hope they will be allowed hy
the rebels to 60 through their lines, and that
they will be rctained Among their friends
until the close of%he war.
Tho recent successes Of the Union army arc
having depressing effect on Lees army,
and deserters are pouring into the Union lines
