North CAROLINA INGENUITY AND ENTER
PRIsE.-We take great pleasure in giving no
toriety to Southern ingenuity and enterprise
for which we have heretofore depended upon
foreign supply. Especially are we graft
fed, when such skill developes itself so near
us as in the Old North State
j. A. Mattock, ESQ., of Onslow county, in
the Old North State has invented aud paten-
ted, a machine known as the ~. A Mattock s
Improved Apparatus for the distiation of
pine wood This valuable invention has
been in successful operation, and is likely to
come into general Use in the piney regions of
the Old North State. The machine runs out
from load of pine wood, seventy-fve gallons
of crude spirits ofturpentine, which, is clarified
at a small expense, at "a cost of less than
twenty per cent. Besides this product of the
machines manipulation, fifty-four pounds of
acid, after being purified, are produced, which
is worth s so per pound, or more In addi-
ton there are produced four barrels of pitch
The machine is capable of manipulating
two cords of wood per day. There may be
other material or resduum which may be
put to some use and yield profit.
1t will be seen, therefore, that the machine
can turn out daily the following articles OF
North Carolina staples:
40 gallons pure spirits at 72c. per gallon $50 40

THE CAPITAL.

WASHINGTON, December Is, 1866
Several Senators and members have
considered the propriety of urging in
the Joint Committee on Reconstruction,
the reporting OF n Joint resolution de-
Glazing rs the sense OF Congress that
the Constitutional Amendment is the
tinallty of the basis Of restoration, and
that in the event of It's ratification no
other terms will be demanded by tins
Congress Of the Southern States. 1t Is
uraed that this be done to relieve the
doubts IN the premises set forth III the
Southern legislatures, where the raIi-
fcauon OF the Amendment has just been
refused. Opposition to this proceeding
is based on the ground that the amend
ment speaks fer itself as the basis
of settlement, and that the faith OF
Congress is pledged to stand by it. A
drclara,ory resolution Of the character
referred to, is already before the House
part OF the Reconstruction Committee
A host of Pennsylvania poll icians are
in Washington looking into the Senate
rial contest in that State The most
active Of the number are friends OF
Cameron An impression was sought
to be created in some quarters that Thad
Stevens intended to withdraw from tn,
canvass, Int diet is to-day explicitly de-
MED by Mr. Stevens.
1t looked to day as though half q
Congress was az the executive mansion
The number of Senator's and Members
seeking an audience with the President
on business matters was very large
The Presid mt did not find time to see
one half of them in waiung
The War Department is very busy IN
preparing the volumnious documents
relating to the New Orleans riots for tie
use of Congress The report of the
military Commission makes an immense
document, to say nothing of the detail +
ed evidence taken by Gen. Sheridan.
The special committee appointed by
the Ronse to take evidence and inveStl-
gate the release of the South Carnhnians
who were convicted Of the murder OF
several colored soldiers in that State,
met to-day and organized. The fact. as
presented in the written record furnlsh-
ed by The War Department. show that
the sentence of death was commu,ed by
the President to Imprisonment at Fort
Delaware, and that they were released
from that place on a writ OF hdtedS cor
ms. The committee will summon Gen
Slckles.
There does not seem to he any dIspo
s,tion in the Senate Committe on For
eign Relations to report against the con
Iirmation of General Dix rs Minister t'
France, and he will probably be confirm
ed.
The final passage of the bill for UNI
versal suffrage In this District excite
little or no comment to-day either among
the white or colored population. Las
wear, when the bill passed one house
there was considerable excitement ovel
il. but COW, when ii is virtually law
there is nothing said or done by tn
resident population.

TIE WORK OF CONGRESS.


Says the'Phiadelphia Press; The de-
termination OF the people to check Exec
tive abuses and to prevent future outra
ces in the South, is faithfully reflected
in the proceedings of their Representa-
tives at Washington. The condition OF
the Government is anomalous. The
lreachery of ANDREW Johnson has plac-
ed what should be the citadel of loyal
citizens in the hands of their enemles.---
Congress has become to the patriots OF
America what the Parliament of Eng
land was TO Britons struggling against
false and tyrannical kings, and it is evl
dently mindful of its weighty response
bilities. In the brief space which has
elapsed aimee the opening of the session
resolutions have been adopted, either in
the Senate or House, taking lnitiatory
steps towards the passage of many im-
portant measures. Among the subjects
under consideration last week were res-
olutions to deprive the President of the
power to grant amnesty conferred by
the act of 1862 to disband rebel militia
ry organizations in the South; to estab-
lish martial law in every county or dis
trct in the rebellous States where the
local authorities do not prevent outrages
upon Unlonists. and to adopt other
measures for their protection to fully
investigate the riot at New Orleans to
limit the power OF appointment and re.
movals to inquire into the circumstan- :
ces under which the murderers Of three
United States soldiers in South Carolina
were released from Fort Delaware by a
writ OF habeas corpus, and to provide
for the meeting OF the next Congress on
the 4th OF March, 1867, so that no in
terregnum may occur in the sessions Of
the guardians OF popular rights. The
Constitution abounds with guards
against Executive usrpations. aud the
friends of the Administration will dis,
cover that it authorizes moro important
