The only noticeable feature in the Leg
islatue to-day was the joint convention of
both Houses at noon for the purpose of
congrstulating the Governor, and through
him the people of the State upon the pas
sage of the Constitutional Amendment,
sbolishing slavery, by Congress.
The speech of the Governor, though
brief, was one of his hsppiest efforts, and
no abstract could do it justice. He was
frequently interrupted with hearty cheers
from all sides of the House except the
South Carolina corner. The occupants of
that locality we're SIS mum as mutes.
This afternoon q salute of one hundred
guns was fred in honor of the occasion.
The resolution as It passed Congress has
been received and will be communicate
to the Legislature Tomorrow.

FORTRESS MONROE, Jan. 81.
The steamer Warrior arrived here to-
daY from Fort Fisher
Up to Sunday last nothingof importance
had taken place.
Several of our gunboats were movingup
Cape Fesr river TO the vicinity of one of
the rebel forts, probably with the inten-
tion of bombarding it.
The steamship Cahawba arrived
here this afternoon from Hilton
Head with over five hundred prisoners,
captured by Sherman in his late csnpain.
The CahsWba sailed from Hilton Head Lest
Saturday She brighs intelligence of the
highly gratifying success thus far attend
ing the opening of the campaign in South
Carolina. One portion of Sherman's army
moved directly from Savannah, and the
other, consisting of two corps, moved from
Beaufort, S. G., and they we're both rapidly
advancing against Charleston.
:. The latest intelligence from the army
represents 1t to be less than forty miles
from Charleston.
The rebels are offering resistance at
every point, and from every available
position for defense.
Forage and subsistence were found IN
large qusntities by our soldiers as they
follow the retresting steps of the rebels.
Foster was cooperating with the army
under Sherman, and the movements Of our
troops through South Carolina sre but the
precursors Of q far more terrible and dis
astrous campaign to the rebels.
The lines of Sherman were being grad
uslly contracted, and it was probable that
no desperate resistance would be made, or
battle offered, until our forces hsd reached
within few miles of Charleston, where
the main body Of the enemy would be
concentrated to make one last terrible ef-
fort to save the State from the inrosds of
Sherman's eonquering army.

Associated Press Report.
THE PRESIDENT sERENADED.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.
The serensding party last night having
played several airs before the White House
the President appesared and was greeted
with loud cheers.
The President said he supposed the pas
sage through Congress of the Constitution
al Amendment Ior the adjustment of
Slavery throughout the United States, was
the occasion to which he was indebted for
the honor of this call. Applause. The
occasion was one of congrstulatlon to the
country and to the whole world, but there
is q task yet before the United States, to go
forward and cOnsummste by the votes of
the States that which Congress go nobly
began yesterday. [Applsuse and cries
they will do it, He hsd the honor to
inform those present that Illinois had al
ready to-day done the work. TApplsuse |
Maryland was proud that Illinois was
little ahead. He thought this measure
was very fitting, if not indispensable ad-
junct to the winding up of the great diff
Guilty. Applsuse.l He wished the re-
union OF all the States perfected and so eff
fected as to remove sll causes Of distuT-
bsnce in the future. and to attain this end
it was necessary that the original disturb
ing cause should, if possible, be rooted out.
BE THONG All would bear with him wit
ues . ---- ID never shrsnk from doing
al tbat he could to eradicate slavery, by
issuing an emancipation proclamation.
ApDlause.1 That proclamation falls far
short of what the amendment will be
when fully oonsummated. A question
might bs raised whether it was legally valid
it might be added that it only aided those
who came into our lines, and that It was
imperative as to those who did not give
themselves up so. that it would have no eff
feet on the children of slaves born hereafter
In fact it would be urged that it did moi
meet the evil, but this amendment was {
kings cure for all the evils. [Applsuse.
1t winds the whole thing up. He woulC
repeat that it was the fitting, if not indis
pensible adjunct of the consummation o
the great game we are playing He eoulC
not but congratulate all present, himself
the country and the whole world, upol
this great moral victory.

NAVAL COMMITTEE REPORT.

NEW 1oRKI teb. Z.
The Army and Nary Gazette contains
report of the Naval Committee on rifle
cannon. They find OF 703 Parrot guns of
all calibres, that twenty one have burst, or
been otherwise injured by explosion.
They ascribe these accidents to various
causes, such as the use Of compressed pow
der, or unsuitable projeetiles, neglecting
to lubricste the projeetiles as required by
the ordnance instructions, or keeping the
guns TOO long loaded. The premature ex-
plosion Of shells, is. however, the main
cause. They recommend experiments TO
plsce the matter beyond dispute and de-
eide the question Of retaining the Parrott
GUN in use
