pehranoe Of the Senate on the 23d:

tho seat which he has occupied since
1858. Hill, OF Georgia, tried to 10 ok
martyr-like, and so did Sawyer, OF South
Carolina, with half a dozen other carpet
baggers, who must march forth in few
weeks. It was doleful spectacle, and
snch funeral solemnity prevailed that
permission was refused Nye to have an
evening session, when he could humor-

The same correspondent furnishes the
following:
AS General Butler, tho valiant bonn

with the most perfect self f-posscssion, and
with no little dramatic effect. He had
his papers and books of reference on the
desk before him, and whom he got the
floor he stopped for few moments and
looked around the House. with an air

men, are you all ready to hear the great

to pay the slightest attention to him
