Progress of Ratification.

The States which have ratified the consti-
tutlonal amendment are Connecticut, New
Hampshire, Tennessee, Rhode Island, New
Jersey, Oregon, Vermont, New York, Ohio,
Missouri Maine, Kansas, West Virginia, Ill
inois, Indiana and Minnesota-sixteen in
all. In nearly all these States the vote in ia
vor was very large, and in Kansas and Maine
it was nearly unanimous. The ratification
by four more States only is required to make
it part of the constitution-that is, count
ing the twenty-six States which actually
form the government of the country as suffi-
Gent to act in the matter. Should Nebras
ka and Colorado be admitted the ratifca-
ton by five more would be required. But
there is no doubt that both these would
promptly ratify it. Nor is there any reason
to doubt that within very short time the
full number will have acted in the same way.
When this shall be accomplished Congress
will Immediately, we suppose, formally de-
clare the amendment part of the constitu-
ton and pass the necessary measures to en-
force it. Thus the late rebel States will be
relieved from doing what appears to be so
repugnant to them the amendment will be-
come law in spite of them and without
their action. The country may rejoice that
this great preliminary measure to restora-
tlon is so near consummation-New York
Herald.

Help for the South.

All humane and right-thinking persons
must be glad to learn that the subject of re-
lief for the fearful restitution and suffering
which exist at the South has been taken up
In earnest by number of energetic and
charitable ladies in this City.
No question of politics enters into this
Christian and patriotic enterprise. The la
dies-among whom we may name Mrs. A.
A. Low, Mrs S. B. Chittenden, Mrs. Charles
OConor, Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. G. K. CARR
son and Mrs. S. L. M. Barlow-have taken
central office at No. A. Bond street, where
contributions of dry goods, clothing, &C.,
may be sent daily, from 8 A. NJ. to 6 P. M.
This Society will work in harmony with the
Bureau of Gen Howard, and as is impossi.
BILE to overstate the distress which has been
brought upon hundreds of thousands of wo-
men and children at the South by the losses
ofthe war, the subsequent failure of the crops,
and the unprecedented severity of the pres
ent season in that region of our country, we
are confident that their appeal needs only be
heard to be needed by those whom God has
80 abundanty blessed among ourselves.

Mr.. BLYTHE.-It will be seen, by the pro-
ceedings of the Public Meeting we publish
to-day, held in Brevard Pennsylvania, that
Mr.. Blythe, the worthy and patriotic Com
moner from that County, has been sustaifed
by his constituents in the course hS puYsued
at the last session of the Legislaturej We
could assure the people of Henderson and
Pennsylvania, if such assurance VIZ e neces-
sary, that Mr.. Blythe is a vigilant and faith
full representative, and that he will do all in
his power to protect their interests and
rights.

The Constitutional Amendment was YES
terday ratified by the Legislatures of West
Virginia, Minnesota and Maine, and by the
Senate of Indiana, the majorities being large,
and In the case of the Maine Senate the vote
being unanimous The Republicans of that
State, however, do not consider the Amend
ment the sole basis of reconstruction, but ex-
pressly declare that the elective franchise
must be 81 ven to the black man, and that
congress should reorganizc the Rebel States.
Every day adds to the strength of this poll
cy, and the adoption of the Amendment by
the loyal States is not nearly so important
as its rejection by the South.

Public Meeting in Brevard.

| A large and respectable meeting was held
| in Brevarl on the 29th December, 1866, to
consider on the propriety OF petitioning Con-
gross to form new State of the Western
counties of North Carolina.
The meeting was organized by calling
Joshua Orr to the chair, and requested w.
H. Nicholson to act as Secretary.

S. J. Tracy, Col. j. G. Duckworth and G. W.
Kitchens, Esq, committee to draft resolu-
lions for the consideration of the meeting,
who reported the following, which was unan-
imously adopted.
WHEREAS, Nearly eighteen months have
elapsed since the surrender of the Confeder-
ate forces to the United States, and
WHEREAS, the party in power in this State
have persistently refused to accept the very
mild terms of reconstruction offered by Con-
gress, or to take the proper steps to restore
the State to its former position in the I'm
ion
Resoloed, therefore, That having lost all
hopes of being restored to our rights in the
Union while rebels are permitted to assume
control of our State Government, that we
ought to petition the Congress of the United
States for authority to establish new State
from the mountain portion of North Carolina,
or to reconstruct the State on thoroughly
loyal basis, much preferring the former
Resolced, That the petition as published in
the Pioneer of the 18th December, meets our
views, and that we recommend all loyal citi-
zens to sign it.
Col Duckworth offered the following reso-
luton, which was unanimously adopted:
Rss0lued, That we fully endorse the re-
marks of Rev. Mr.. Blythe in the Commons
on the 18th December, declaring that he could
not conscientiously vote for resolution then
under consideration, which stated that I'm
