The C'oiieUhitlonnl Amendment f«» hr
Adopted — Knotty Htti'Nthun Neillnl
liy It.
\Vn inny now regard tlio adoption r»f
tho constitutional umcitdinGJi*, abolishing
slavery throughout tli«* United stale?, as
h fact accomplished. Thn adoption of
the a men dm on t by the Loa;i laturo of
South Carolina, and the triumph of the
Republican** in New Jersey, c ottlo the
question. The ii«?riil of only thren more
States was noed .'1 befuro thoso ovonts, find
the romiiininK vote required will easily be
obtained, nvon without drawing upon
another of tho cotton State?.
Tho scope of this amendment i* larger
than moit of our people at tho South liavo
heretofore cotitemplated. Thu flrat clause
declare? slavery forovi r abolished in all
tho Slate? of the Union, and the second
clause empowers ('<in^rcPs to pass all laws
necessary to carry tho first into ofl’ect.—
( Wo havo net tho amendment before us,
and cannot quote its precise word*, but
tills is it? substance*.) How will Con^ro*?
construe its Rrant of power under the
second clause, and how carry it ifito el*
fl*et° We have liftTdly tv vloubt on the
subject. Tho majority of tho present
ConKro** will confitruo it an ompowering
them to do everything doomed by them
necessary to protect tho ne^ro in his now
relation, and they will legislate for the
Stales in this respect. They will compel
the States to admit negro testimony in
their court?, if any of them bliould re
fuse or neglect to do so through their own
Legislatures. Wo think that wo may a*
well, therefore, make up our minds at
once that "to this compUrli<>n it must
come at lafct." Wo will have to accept
negro toptimony, ih we huvo nlready had
to accept emancipation, as < no of tlio ic
on Its of the war.
Wo am far from bnl loving that this kind
of interference with the domestic polity of
the States is in accordance with tho general
in tout anl spirit of tho Gonstitution, or
that even tho cofHtitulional amendment,
interpreted with a duo regard to tho the
ory of our complex Hy c tom of govern
ment an il the other provisions of the na
tional compact, can fairly bear such a
construction. Hut wo know that th* puily
in power in CongrO'S have never been
Hcrupulou- in regard to the rights of tin*
Slaton, or slrift con.‘ Irucliofiihls of any
part of the Constitution which they found
in tho way of any of their ofnl?.
Happily, Hfe Ou&titution itself inter
pose* an o.xpress and Insurmountable Iffir-
rier to ('oiigrotodntml interference with the
rights or limitations of BUllrago in tho
Statos. It guimmtios that each Stale shiiTl
bn tile sole judgo of the qualifications of
Its oleclorK, leaving to thorn oven tho de
termination of the qualifications of elect
ors of Representatives to CongrosM. This
will he a barrier to Congressional encroach
ment on tho rights of the Stales in this
respect, for the grant of power to pa*? all
laws necessary to carry into (died onu
clause of tho Constitution cannot be con
strued to uuthoriz.u the disregard or annul
ment of another and older constitutional
provision.

Rut throughout its peregrinations it
maintained its high characteristics, and

staled that tho Treasury Department has
it in contemplation to call in all of the

tho dangerous counterfeit to which wo al
luded yestorday. The counterfeit is thus
described : "There are but two discrep
ancies between llie genuine and false notes
apparent to the public. In the last part
of the engraving the head of Hamilton on
the fuco «»f tbo note i('present* tho lino of

the shape of tho collar,so lar as is known,
is perfect in the counterfeit, hut in the
genuine the line* id ilesh are drawn by
the engraver across the point of the col
lar ul its junction with the waistcoast.
The other discrepancy is in the shape of
tbo ornaments in the border and oft each
end of the lace of tbo bill and in the
whole border on tho back'. Tlio figures
GO iu the genuine bill are in an octagonul
form, rather well defined, though the an
gles are not sharp, and the eight sides

To tho President of tho United States,
from committee of five:
itts Excellency Andrew Johnson, Vrcsi*
dint of the United States :
The people of Georgia, through her
delegates in Convention assembled, res
pectfully and earnestly invoko the oxen
else of the executive clemency in behalf
of those of our fellow -citizens embraced
within the exceptions to the IhIo Amnesty
Proclamation who may be as yet unuar
doned. •
including, as tho vast roll of her dis
franchised citizens doe?, many of her finest
intellects and purest patriots, and involv
ing much of her available wealth, the
Convention of our Slate respectfully re*'
commend these uioii fo your magnanimous
clemency a* our needed coadjutor* in the
mighty task of reorganization, und ns
worthy subjects of your most generous
kindness.
The Convention pledges their former
fidelity to tho government of the United
State*. Tho very tenacity of their devo
tion to the South in the late struggle, the
very herointt and magnitude of thoir ef
forts in an unsuccessful cause, and tlio
very chivalry of their characters as evinced
in the trying vicissitudes of a gigantic war,
will be your last guarantee of tho virtue
of thoir resignation to tho rosult, and of
the sincerity of thoir allegiance to a gov
ernment which disarms them by its mag
nanimity, onchains their gratitude by iU
kindlier, and punishes them only with
it*.element pardon.
Believe us Sir, there i? no looking hack,
the State of Goorgiu is prepared to do her
whole duty in and to the government, and
she now asks tor tho restitution to her
control, and uho of her entire citizens, for
whose integrity and loyalty she gives you
her most solemn pledge, in order that
they may assist her to work out from her
travail and deflation the high destiny
she still trusts is in store for her and them,
under a government that has just emerg
ed unharmed from tho most desperate cou-
vulsion of tho world's history, and whose
tremendous power, will be intiniloly
strengthened by its immeasurable bonig-
uity.

Tliey appeared at ditJerenl pnitits, iti smad

a charging par'..;/ was l«»uml to attack in
••urnn^t the artillery jeekets ut the south
west part of th.* eity. 'J'he charging par
ty made ut' iu dut-poiatioii what thoy
lacked in numbers for a time. The artil
lery picket xviif* foiced hack, leaving thoir
gun* behind. At this juncture tho gun
boat Puriuno, commandod by C’olonol
Anselnin Gr'ihlo, steameit down tho riveT
to the MHSiiultod point, and by a well di
rected life, pul the outlaws to flight, when
thn artillery picket retook their guns, and
opened on the Hying outlaws. At the
sumo time the fort commanded by our co-
temporary, S*rmr Don Miguel Ponn,
opened a .-hocking lire upon tlio outlaws,
and though at long taw, aided the gun-
bimlin • 'looting the clmpparol of the lafet
Hciimp.
General Mcjia^ learriiiig that a heavy
iicfiault wns making on one of tbo forts,

galloped down to the assaulted point, and
arrived just in time to pee tho fleeing'out

net, and fe- clear perception shown
in notion. While thn charge was being
irlo at tho lower end of thn line, a furi-
s artillery fire was lining kept up on the
upper fort?, but without oileding any

with General Mejia at their head, dashed
m ami pul the rascals to Might, taking
from them one gun. Altogether the fir
ing continued for two hours, when it diod
out. The Imperial troops maintained
their enviable reputation admirably.
The citizen . responded nobly, and wore
on hand for u light, in which they wore
disappoint-al. If possible, thn confidence
in General Mejia was augmented. Al
though Hfty-oight prisoners were taken,
and largo rmmhors of outlaw* killed and
wounded, the Imperial loss was several
W'»tiruled and loss than h do/.on killed. A
considerable quantity of ninunition uhan-
donod !».y tlm lluoing outlaws, Imx boon
captured. Tho Captain of the gunboat
Antonia, just arrived from below, reports
tho outlaws swarming the rivor* in great
numbers and in the utmost consternation.
Gonoral Espinosa, socond in command of
the outlaw army, is killed, and his body
in tho hands of tlio Imperialist?. Gen.
Mejia has just returned from tlm front,
whore he was from the beginning of the
light, until the common enemy of man
kind disappeared. Tho very latest from
the front h aws tlm Imperial troops in

script bus tbo following report:
On .Sunday, tho UPth of Octohor, imino-
diatoly after High Mass, Mr. Perruult, tho
vvpreseutivtiyo iu Parliament of the coun
ty of Richelieu, addressed the largo as
sembly attending Lho service at Sorel,
from before tho church door. Mr. l*or-
raull dcciuiimd against tin* confederation
of tho Provinces, und augured from it
miseries and disasters. As this portion of
the discourse was of the stereotyped order,
it need not bn pavticuliu ly adverted to.
'Phut oortiuu which wus of tho more ex
traordinary nuluro wus his di.-courso to the
French <huiadiuns, whom he adilroesed
upon tho Fenian moyementa and the ori
gin, alms, and di termination of that body.
Mr. Ver.vttult told hL audience that the
Irirh wnrediivoo, by tho tyranny of Eng

lie said that the Funiuns would invade
Canada daiing the ensuing winter, and
would hold the Upper Province. That
they could do .*0 \\;p no matter t>f doubt.
They would then have tho money of tho
Provinces iu their hut ids, with which thoy
could buy and equip shins and carry on
a war ugnimd England. Mr. Perruult
then expatiated with energy upon tho
wrongs Ireland had suffered, and which
had driven her to seek this mode of re
dress. The ^pencil was extremely ener
getic, and end. d by his reassertion of tho
intentions of the Feninus of tho United
States to invade the Provinces, and of
tht ir suerei.ii in to doing. Mr. Perraull’s
reprcsenlation* wore of so posltivo * na
ture, as to induce a belief that his authori
ties cuino from other source* than more
sm uiiie; and that tho warning came from
actual authority. Upon listening to tho
conversation of those in the crowd assem
bled, there appeared to be a full belief in
A >ew lixplosive Material—The
Chemistry of the ffulVeiau.
The accident at tho Wyoming Hotel on
Sunday will probably provo to ho the
startling announcement of tho advent of a
new explosive material. W<* have hoard
much during the wnr of tnrpodoes find
othor infernal machinos, that Hiecoinmu-
nity f‘H(iie tiulurally to the conclusion, on
the first Account, tl»**t the myR'-rious box
so 1* fig neglected in tho hotel contained
only one more of tho destructive devices
of our enemies. Hut the slalornent of
I^ers that tho box contained specimens
of "chemicul oils," brought here with a
view to inakff money, ana with no evil
purpose, is in all likelihood true. Leers
brought tlm box from Hamburg, which
place he left in June, Some few months
before that, a chemist of Hamburg, Mr.
Alfred Noble, announced tho discovery of
a now blasting oil, which ho cluimod would
supersede gunpowder for all ordinary ex
plosive purposes. Nobel’s compound pro
duce**, on oxplo.don, five times the volume
of gas produced by an equal weight of
gunpowder, and, as its inventor claims,
has thirteen times tho power. It is a
chemical compound of thirty-seven parts
of nitric acid with one of glycerine. This
nitro-glycerine is a yellowish, oily fluid in
appearance, It is not soluble in WHter nor
explosive by liro. It detonates under cor*
tain circumstances. Tho accident in
Greenwich street answers in all rospects to
hti explosion of this material, especially in
its turrillc power. It is evident that the
explosive material was a fluid ; there wa?
somo evolution of gas just before the ex-
ploeion, giving out an odor that was mis
taken for that of hydrochloric acid, and
whuh the box was let fall on tho street,
thuro was n sufficient blow no doubt to
explode a detonating compound. Before
tl.o b*»x was carried out, flames issued
from it, and Nobel’s nitro-glyeorinc will
burn without exploding.
Nobel’s compound, though without the
immense force of chloride of nitrogem,
ha? been found to possess great power in
mining operations. Had General Grant
nt the time tlio mine was run urid"r the
rebel works ut Petersburg nlacod in it a
weight of thi« material equal to tho woight
of gunpowder placed there thu oxplo.-ion
would haveaimulatod an earthquake. He
would have shaken down every fort that
-to<»d between the two urrniea and every
house in Petersburg, and would have
mado himself foil throughout the territo
ry then held by the enemy. It is difficult
to say w hat might have become of the two
armies. This chemical discovery is one
more of the secrets of nnturo secured by
science; and it is still safe to say that wc
are only on tho threshold of discovery in
this direction. Gunpowder, nitre-glyco-
rine and chloride of nitrogen stand per
haps a* only A BC in the ascending se
ries of explosive forces with which Hie
great operations of nature have been
wrought. By thoir aid we may dimly
guess at the powers whoso explosion piled
up such ranges of granite as the Rocky
Mountains, tlio Am.es and lho Alp?; at
tho lesser powers that have torn upon tho
mountains through which great rivers, as
the Hudson, flow to tho sea* that have
"(lusted down the domes’' of cities like
Lisbon, und that require such va?t vent
holes and safety valves as Vesuvius and
Etna. By considering the earth a? one
grund chemical laboratory, with forces of
unknown and unimagined power opera
ting within it according to fixed law?, wo
can gain a better conception than in any
other way of the operations, of nature that
have most UhlonLhed Hie world, that they
have boon most regarded as impontrnblo
mysteries, that havo been most used by
superstition to darken the human mind.
From a purely chemical standpoint,also,
wc can gam our only possible comprehen
sion of tho oldest of truditions—tlio great
est puzzlo of philosophers of every ago—
tho story of chaos, when tho earth was
"without form and void." Chembtry
shows us Imw, by tho laws of nature, tho
sumo body tm»y exist in a solid, a fluid m
a gaseous form ; how from a solid it may
he futiflod to gas, and how again may from
an expansion that sounds almost fabulous
ho condensod and restored t-» its solid
form. The application of this law of con
doiisation on a grand scale to niHlter ex
pnndml through space in a gaseous form
might result in the formation of planets—
lho chemical contact of tho various gases
in the evolution of heat—and heat in mo
tion. So out of proportion are the gas
eous and solid forms of a given body that
our own earth might perhaps besoratifled
a? to till tho whole of tho space in our sys
tem. Science, while thus looking upon
tho visible uirivorso as tho rosult of llxod
laws, yojUt os that the powor which mado
and fixed those laws is still incomprehen
sible; tHough it tench nr* us to regard that
power with infinitely higher thought than
»h possible to any blind lklth. Wo can
best understand the history of tho Uni-
vorsoandof tlio Earth by regarding tho
succession of events as so many grand
chemical changes, by looking at them in
tho light of a corlainod • laws id science ;
and hence the axiom of the faith of mod
orn philosophy, 'Man, 1 the servant and
interpreter of Nature, understands and
performs so much as hu has gathered by
observation or experience, nor does Jus
knowolodgo or his power extend further.

Congressman elect fioin the Lafl^'elte
District; lndiaun, bus boon making a
spooeh; in which ho fully endorses the re
construction policy of President Johnson.
There is considerable sense in the follow
ing extracts from Ills remarks. Ho says .
THK CONSTITUTIONAL POWER.
Congress may admit now States, but has
no powor to expel old States. By solemn
acts of Congress all the rebellious Elates
have been adiuiltod to tho Union except
four, which wore of tho original thirteen
which formed the Union. Thero is ro
power in tho Constitution, either express
or inipliod, to reduce States to Territories.
It is the duly of tho Unitod Stales to
guarantee to ovary State in tho Union a
republican form of government, and this
guarantee is not a flee ted by rebellion.
Khodo Island, Massachusetts and Penn
sylvania did not cease to boStatos boentue
of the rebellion in thoir hordors, nor have
the Southern Statos.
Ho adds:
IS IT NOT BETTER?
Is it not the dictate of sound policy to
proceed with thu restoration of tlio South
with tho least possible delay ? There is an
immense debt to be paid, and we want the
South placed in a condition to help pay it.
We shall bo stronger as a nation ami hap
pier as a people for an early and complete
reconstruction—a reunion of boarls and a
I rounion of hands.
