UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.

We are panied to learn through private
letter from Union, that Mr.. JAS. G. FER
NANDEZ of that District, was shot and killed
by body of soldiers sent last week to eff
feet his arrest.
Mr.. FERNANDEZ it seems had some diff:
fculty with members of the garrison at
UniouVille some weeks ago, in which con-
siderable violence was manifested. Efforts
to arrest him had failed until last week,
when squad of men sent for that purpose,
found him at his residence. Resisting the
demand to deliver himself up, he severely
wounded one of the detail, and thereupon
received several shots which proved imme-
diately fatal.
Mr.. FERNANDEZ bore high reputation
for character, and was much esteemed by
those who knew him. We fear that the
circumstances of his death, if as reported,
will exercise an unfortunate influence in the
community where be resided.

DISABLED SOLDIERS.

The State of North Carolina has
through its Legislature taken an important
step for the relief of those of her soldiers
manned or crippled in the late war. Such
action becomes the duty of each of the
Southern States, and it would be eminently
proper for them to do this much, if no more,
for the relief of those who sacrificed 80 much
in obedience to law, duty and honor. The
resolution states that:
Whereas, number of officers and SOL
diers from North Carolina, engaged upon
her call, in the late civil war, have lost their
limbs in the service, and are unable from
want of means to supply themselves with
artificial ones; and achereas, it is consider
ed an eminent work of charity and of JUS
tice to assist all such with the common
funds of the State, to procure such neces-
sary limbs, and thus restore them, as far as
practicable, to the comfortable use of their
persons, to enjoyment of life aud to the
ability to earn a subsistence. Therefore,
it is
Resolved, That His Excellency, the
Governor, is hereby empowered and request
ed to make contract with some manufac-
turer of artificial limbs to supply the need
of the State at an early day. And to this
end, His Excellency is empowered to in.
stitute such enquiries and adopt such rules
as may be deemed by him most expedient
to ascertain the extent of the need and the
best mode of supplying it with properly
fitted limbs.
and be 1t further Resolved, That the ex.
penses incurred by His Excellency in exc
cutting this purpose of the General Assem-
bly, shall be paid, upon his warrant, out of
the moneys in the treasury not otherwise ap-
propriated.

MEXICAN AFFAIRS.

The doubtful account given in last weeks
paper, of the attack on Bagdad-a small
town in Mexico on the Rio Grande-is con-
Grmed by later intelligence. The attack
was made, it is asserted by Fillibusters and
negroes; but the conclusion is now estab-
lished that Army officers and soldiers had
much to do with the affair. 1t was de-
liberate attempt to force rupture between
France and this country.
The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger says:
"The Government, as dispatch this, is
without any official adVices with reference
to the capture of Bagdad, and there can be
no doubt but what it regrets the occurrence.
General Sheridan will likely proceed i'm
mediately from New Orleans to the Rio
Grande, in order, by his personal presence
and authority, to keep the difficulty from
spreading. If it is found that any of our
recognized forces we're engaged in the cap,
ture of the French garrison, you may rest
assured they will be summarily dealt with
by the Government, which is determined
that its honestly expressed pledge Of Deu-
trality shall not be violated with iupunity.
The great trouble now to be apprehen-
ded is the shedding of more blood-both
American and French-in the recapture of
the town, which has no doubt ere this been
effected. At last advices the Imperiaists
held all the road between Matamoras and

Switzerland, the papers advocate special or
gauizations to assist in the forwarding of
Immigrants, as the only means of avoiding
the calamities of pauperism. In Germany
every county will furnish an unusually
large quota In Mecklenburg-Schwerin
over one thousand males left from one small
county. The reports from Hamburg and
Bremen state that all steamers during the
whole winter will be crowded with passen.
gers; and news reaching us from England
assert in the most positive terms that large
numbers of sturdy English workmen are
preparing themselves for emigration next
spring for America. Agents and shipping
houses aver that in the year 1866, the num-
Der of emigrants arriving on our shores
will exceed that of half a million OF souls,
healthy and industrious men.

1.-THE SITUATION"

Occasionally CLEAN of hope shoots out
from the painfully slow workings of Con.
gress, but it is again obscured by some radi.
calism before it has assumed shape or form
of consistency. The act comforting the right
of suffrage on negroes in the District of
Columbia, is taken as a piece of experimen
tai legislation, preparatory to imposing it
upon the States The various proposed a.
mendments to the Constitution, all point
with significance in one direction-their ef.
feet upon the South. Negro suffrage seems
to be the most important Of these, and the
most difficult to reconcile Tf the right is
conferred universally in the South, it will
augment representation to such an extent,
as to make Southern influence in Congress
again dangerous. The number of blacks to
be estimated as population, will give an in
crease of two ffths to the South in the
House representation. These obstacles are
difficult to reconcile, and require time to
arrange upon the best method of avoiding
them
The est,oath has been repealed, as far
as it effects the practice of attorneys in the
United States Courts. This is pronounced
to be dodge upon the part of the Radi.

IMPORTANT ORDER.

General SICKLEs who has recently as
sumed command of the District of South
Carolina, has promulgated his first General
Order, which will be found in another COL
umn. 1t makes clean sweep of the Leg
islature and Courts of Justice of this State,
and is to be indefinitely the law of the land
Though stringent ia many of its provisions,
it is temperate in tone, and probably the
best we can expect while under Military
Government. The people of this State Ia
bored under the impression that Gov. ORR
relieved Mr.. PERRY, as the Chief Execu-
tive of the State. 1t seems, however, that
they were duped in this belief, and that
General SIcKLEs turns out to be tho man,
after all.
Major General DEvENs CommandaDt of
the Sub District of Charleston, has issued
an order explanatory of Gen. SIcKLEs',
the gist of which is
lst. That diligence and energy on the
part of the officers entrusted with its exc.
cution, will contribute materially to the
promotion of its object-the general vel.
fare of the country. :
End. The provisions of the order will be
enforced through the action of DISTRICT
Provost Courts, whose decisions require the
approval of Sub.Dstrict Commanders -
Judges must be selected from officers of
intelligence and humanity. Appeals may

when adopted by three-fourths of the said
Legislatures, shall be valid as part of the
Constitution
Article.-Representatives and direct tax.
es shall be apportioued among the several
States which may be iu the Union, accord
ing to their respective numbers, counting
the whole number of persons in each State,
exclusive of Indians, not taxed; provided
that whenever the elective franchise shall
be denied or abridged in any State, on &C.
count of race or color, all such race or color
shall be excluded from the basis of repre-.
sentation.
The,same joint resolution was offered in
the Senate. Mr.. ROGERS, of N. j., one
ST the members of the Committee, made a
speech against the proposed amendment,
contending that it was contrary to the prin-
ciples upon which the Government was
founded, viz: that taxation and representa-
tlOn must go togetner.
The Senate on the 25th, passed the House
Bill, enlarging the powers Of the Freedman's
Bureau.
The House adopted resolution instruct
ing the Committee of the District Of Colum-
bia to report bill, excluding from the right
of suffrage in the District, all who have VOL
unfairly borne arms against the United
States, in the naval, military or civil service
of the late Confederacy.
The House resumed the consideration Of
the constitutional amendment regulating
the basis of representation.
Durirg the debate Mr.. Bingham, Of
Ohio, who is a member of the Reconstruc-
ton Committee, said the Committee had
under consideration another amendment to
the Constitution, protecting the right of all
persons, black or white, which rights had
not heretofore been enforced, owing to the
want of power in Congress- This the CON-
mittee propose to bestow.
Mr.. Eldridge, of Wisconsin, (Democrat,) }
in opposing the measure, asserted that the
rebellion having been suppressed, the South
ern States we're restored to their rights un'
der the Constitution. Justice, harmony and
union ought to be maintained, and nothing
done in spirit of furious fanaticism.
Mr.. Strouse, of Pennsylvania, Demo
crat,) and Mr.. Nicholson, of Delaware,
democrat, favored the admission of South
ern representatives to participate in the de-
bate on the measures which so much affect
their interests.
Various Republicans favored some a
mendnent apportioning representatives, but
were not agreed on the one pending.

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.


Their is nothing in the recent action of
Congress that can be construed into cheer.
ful auguries, by the South. The Radical
wing in both Houses seems to be sweeping
with irresistible hand, whatever stands in
the way of its policy.
The credentials of Mr.. MARVIN, Senator
elect, from Florida, were presented on the
10Th. His loyalty and integrity were
vouched for by Senator DooLITTIE and
others, and Mr.. MARVIN signifed his read
mess to take the test oath, and enter upon
his duties. His credentials were, however,
tabled.
The Bill for enlarging the already gigan-
tic powers of the Freedmen's Bureau, has
been under discussion for some weeks. Its
provisions are intended to embrace every
State and Territory in the Union. An
amendment intended to coufne its authority
to the Southern States only, was lost. In
cidental to this, is the question of confirm
ing the titles given to negroes, of the lands
in their possession, or since come into their
possession, under SHERMAN's orders at Sa-
vannah, last winter. The Bill to regulate
the subject has been so amended as to give
titles for three years, instead of absolute
titles. The Bill for this purpose, has pass.
ed the House, and the opinion in Wash
ington seems to be we'll settled that it is to
become the law.
The Bill to confer the right of suffrage
upon negroes, in the District of Columbia,
has gone to the Senate. The Committee
in that body, to whom it was referred, has
reported favorably upon it, with the follow
ing alterations:
l. That every male person twenty-one
years of age, except paupers, persons under
guardianship and criminals, who has resided
in the District six months, is entitled to
vote.
2. That rejection or refusal to receive
votes of all thus entitled to vote, is punish
able by fine not exceeding five thousand
dollars, or imprisonment one year in the
District Jail, or both.
8. That wilfuI disturbance of any elec-
tor in the exercise of bis franchise, is liable
to fine of one thousand dollars, or impris-
onment thirty days, or BOTH
Other provisions relate to preparation of
check list, etc.
The clause requiring the voter to know
how to read and write is stricken out. Its
final adoption after something like this form,
is considered certain.
In the House on the 22d instant, res
olution was offered by Mr.. WILLIAMS,
calling for the trial of the leaders of the
rebellion by court martial or military COM
mission, asserting that it would not answer
to have them tried by ajudiciary tribunal
South, where their peers were equally guilty
with the persons charged with the crime.
A Bill to repeal the test oath was submit
ted to the House by Mr.. FINK, of Ohio,
on the same day. 1t went to the judiciary
Committee, without debate. Mr.. STEVENS
from the Committee of Reconstruction, Of
fered the following resolution :
Resolued, By the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, two-thirds
of both Houses conrurring, that the follow
ing article be proposed to the Legislatures
of the several States as an amendment to
the Constitution of the United States which,
