Gy' 1t will be seen by an advertisement
in this paper that II. D. Wood of Stowe,
has greatly reduced his prices and in
creased his stock of tin and other wares,
owing to a fall in the market. Mr.. Wood
always keeps a good assortment of every
thing in his line, and purchasers can
hardly do better than to trade with him.

FROM WASHINGTON,


WASHINGTON, u. C., Jan. 81 1869
The constitutional Amendment, abolishing Sla-
very evermore in this government passed the House
of Representatives this afternoon at o'clock.
II having been several days since announced
that the final vote would be taken to-day, eager
throng of spectators assembled early and filed the
galleries to oyerfowing and an unusual number
were admitted through courtesy, to the floor of the
House and before the final vote was taken both
the Hall OF the House and the galleries became
literally packed. Among the throng on the floor
of the House, | saw members of the Cabinet.
Judges of the Supreme Court. and Court of Claims
many of the Senators, and a number Of the new
members elect to the next Congress. The member
elect to the next Congress from your District, Hon.
L. MEEcUR, noticed was present, watching the
proceedings with intense Interest,"
When the final question Shall the Joint resolu-
ton now pass p was announced by the Steaker as
the ISSUE the Clerk proceeded to call the roll amid
almost breathlfss Stiffness only broken by the re-
sponse Of the members, and the result was as fol-

any advantages over the latter, in any par.
ticular, we fail tc Recognize them. In one
particular the French adventures had de-
cided advantage. and that was in their nil
itary career and inasmuch as both de-
pended on their armies for national eXis-
tence, RoBEsPIERRE and his gang were ahead
of JEFFERSON DAVIS and his coadiutors. Why
then should the paper money issued by the
one be any better that that emenating from
the other? Both, were from the beginning,
alike destitute of public confidence, the
soul of national existence. Both were
without commerce, the right arm Of a ma
TONS bulwark. Both were without inter
nal, and external, resources, the arteries
through which nations life pulsates. Both
resortcd to the most cXecrable means to de-
stroy an old government with the view Of
erecting on its ruins, new ore. The one
failed signally, and the other is giving ON
inous tokens of coming dissolution What
then should make the paper money OF the
Rebel Confcdcracy any better than that of
the French republic? 1t is no better, and

the inutiity of national paper money More

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.

The country has been agitated, during
the past week, by the arrival of Rebel En-
voys at Fortress Monroe, and their confer
ence with Secretary SEWARD and President
LINCOLN This conference does not appear
to have produced any results looking tow
ards Peace, but only the confirmation of the
belief already entertained by the country
that the only road to a suppression of the
Rebellion lies in a vigorous prosecution of
the War.
In another column, will be found several
dispatches in regard to the matter, and al
so articles from the Tiibune and the Wash
ington Chronicle.

1t will require the assent of twenty-sev-
en- States to ratify the Constitutional amend
ment prohibiting Slavery within the United
States. States not voting as effectively
negative the amendment as if they voted
against it, so that the fact that certain
States are in rebellion does not alter the
result. Werequire the absolute assent Of
threc-fourths Of all the States. The States
that may be counted on as certainly voting
for the amendment are the following names:

think, however, that both New Jersey and
Kentucky will finally give their consent
If the present Legislature of Delaware re
fuses to do so, as it possibly will, the peo-
pie will next year elect those who will do
it. The vote of the reconstructed States
of Tennessee, Arkansas and Louisiana may
be counted on with certainty, and will set
tie the question. No time is fixed by the
Constitution within which the ratification
must take place, the votes of the States

JEFF Davis to Vienna village, on the
west bank of the Savannah river,
and about twenty miles from Wash
ington, where the grand dissolution
took place on the 9th. At this point,
Breckinridge, Benjamin, Burnett, and
several others took long and per-
haps last farewell of JEFF. Davis and
his family. TIE parting occurred at
the dead hour ofshidnight, under the
clear and starry canopy of heaven,
with the bright beams of full and
respondent moon shining on the calm
and placid waters of the beautiful
Savannah, 1t must have been a sad
parting, and the reflections suggested
can hardly be imagined
At the hour named, JEFF Davis and
suite crossed the river, and the other
portion Of the rebel government gal
loped off, waving their handkerchief.
This scene was only witnessed by the
lonely sentinel, who patrolled the camp
when it took plrce. A body guard Of
ten men accompanied JEFF Davis, with
his family and friends. In the morn
ing the command were appraised of the
fact that their Government had desert
ed them, and fiat they were now left
to follow the bent Of their own inclin-
ations. Ihelnen mustered themselves
out without m honorable discharge,
and marched to Washington.
