Meeting of the State Legis lature. ILLNESS OF GOVERNOR HOLDEN. The Constitutional Amendment will be Ratified. Prospects of Reconstruction Dis rou raging, Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 26.—The Legisla ure meets here tomorrow. A large number if members have arrived. Provisional sov ■luor Holden is still confined to his bed by lickness. Dr Powell, the State Agent, has arrived rom Washington with despatches to the Sovernor, which have not been made public- Messrs. Poole, Read, Holden, Dick and kittle are spoken of for the United States ienatorship. it is thimght the constitutional amendment will be passed by tbe Legislature. Prominent gentlemen who have been in Washington are not very hopeful as to the lutnre of the State, nor of the speedy recon struction of the Union. SECOND DESPATCH Organization of the North Carolina Legislature. Raleigh, Nov. 27, P. M.—The Legislature met to day. The Lower House was organ ized by electing F. Phillips, of Orange coun ty, Speaker, and other officers. There was in election of President of the Senate. From Washington. Washington, Nov. 27.—N0 credentials of members elect t» Congress have been re ceived from any of the late insurrectionary bales excepting Virginia and Tennessee. Now York Cotton Market. New York, Nov. 27.—The cotton market s quiet, with sales to-day at 32a53c. Naval stores are dull. Gold is quoted at 47. Hta«n«enibling of the South Caroline Legislature. A despatch to the Charleston Courier says the South Carolina Legislature reassembled, pursuant to adjournment on Saturday even ing, hut no quorum of either House was present. Governor Perry will probably urge the Legislature to proceed at once to count the votes for Governor and members of Con gress. The Governor, it is said, can be in augurated, and the members of Congress commissioned. On the inauguration of the Governor elect, Governor Perry will com municate to the Legislature through the toriuer. The returns so far received indicate the election of General Samuel McGowan mem ber o. Congress for the Third, Hon. James Farrow for the Fourth District. The result of the election in the First and Second Uistricts is still doubtful. Tbe geueral belief, however, is that General Kennedy has a ma jority in the First, and Hon. Wm. Aiken in the Second District. Gratifying if Cokrect. —The Federal Lnion. of the 21st, says : We have good au thority for sayiug that all men over the age who took no part in tbe war, and all widows, (at the time Gen. Sherman’s army injured their property,) will be re-imbursed Ly the U. S. Government, foi damages. The assessor is already at work in the ueighbor mg county of Hancock, ascertaining dam bl'cs so far as respects tbe two classes of our people above named. This will be gratify ing intelligence to many of our afflicted and suffering people.

We make the following extracts of items ol news from Washington despatces in the Northern papers of the 21st and 22d inst. : THE DIRECT TAXES IN SOUTH CAROLINA. W. H. Trescott, the agent for South Caro lina, bad an interview with tbe Secretary of the Treasury today, on the subject contained in the following letter, addressed to the Tax Commissioner in that State' by the Commis sioner ol Internal Revenue. Washington, Nov. 20, 1863. Gentlemen—l am instructed by the Secre tary of the Treasury to say that his order indefinitely postponing the sale of lauds for direct taxes in the insurrectionary districts, and heretofore communicated to you, was intended to embrace all lands, of whatever kind or description, situated iu those districts. You will therefore postpone indefinitely your sales of lots, blocks and houses situate iu the town of Beaufort, South Carolina, and all advertised to lake place on the 6th of De cember next. RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES OF THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT FOR THE QUARTER ENDING SEP TEMBER 30, 1865 : The receipts or tbe Treasury Departnrent for the quarter ending September 30,1365, were as follows : Customs ' $47,900,336 Lands 132,890 Internal Revenue 96,618,886 Miscellaneous 296,040,246 Total $439,801,605 The expenditures (or the same time were as fol lows : Civil and mtscellaneoua ....$186,164,166 Interior, ludlau and Pension 7,791,171 War 166.369,237 Navy 16,621,41* Total $374,826,916 INTERBSTING TO HEIRS OF SOLDIERS WHO DIED REBEL PRISONERS. Quite a Dumber of Congressmen are pledged to the support of a bill, to be intro duced at the opening of tbe session, pro viding that heirs of soldiers who died in rebel prisons during the war shall be privileged to collect of tbe government commuta tion of rations for the time tbe deceased were held by the enemy. There is scarely a doubt that such a bill will pass, as its equity is apparent. THE PARDON BUSINESS. Hut few pardons are now granted, and tbe Attorney General's office has been relieved temporally ol the pressure of applicants. THE COUNTERFEIT FIFTY CENT CURRENCY. An excellent imitation ot tbe new issue of tbe fifty cent fractional currency has beeu received at the Treasury Department. It is considered to be tbe best executed counter feit yet put into ciiculation. It csd, how ever, be easily distinguished from tbe origi nal by tbe coloring and in the signature of General Spinner, the last “e” having been ommitted. The Secretary has decided to alter the geueral appearance of the present issue of fractional currency, in order to make it uuiform and to betterprotect it Irom coun terfeiting. In future all new issues will be ot the greenback circulation. DISAPPEARANCE OF THE CHOLERA FROM MAR SEILLES. The United States Consul at Marseilles re ports to tbe State Department that the chol era has eulirely disappeared from that city. Passengers gniug easi from Marseilles now have au unobstructed passage, with their baggage, to Paris. THE OLD CAPITAL PRISONERS. At the present time there are only twenty two prisoners confined in the Old Capital prison. Secretary Stanton bas ordered Maj. Turner, Judge Advocate of tbe War Depart meut, to direct tbe release from that prisou of certain prisoners committed there by order of Geo. L. C. Baker, they having been con fined a sufficient length of time without the charges being sustained. APPROACHING TRIAL OF WINDKB, DUNCAN AND GEE. It is currently reported in military circles that tbe Secretary of war bas ordered a mili tary court to convene for the trial of Winder, Duncan and Gee, now confined iu the Old Capitol upon the charge of cruel treatment toward Union prisoners at Andersonville. STUPENDOUS ATTEMPT AT FRAUD UPON THE QOVKRNUNNT. About the first of tbe present month it came to tbe knowledge of an accounting officer of the Treasury that a proposition had been made to a claim agent in this city to furnish him with valid claims against tbe United States for arrears of soldiers’ pay and bounty to the amount of half a million of dollars, and to allow tbe agent fifty per cent, of the whole for collection. The agent naturally bad bis suspicions excited, but tbe two or three claims placed in bis hands as samples were perfect, and evidently genuine, con taining the soldiers’ discharges, final state ments, &e. Fortunately, he was an honest man, and consulted the accounting officer on tbe subject, who advised him to take all the papers that came and make advances to a limited amount. This was done. Another batch of claims was put in bis hands, and there, being some reason to suppose that the vouchers were stolen from tbe office of the Second Auditor, that officer insti tuted proceedings . that in the course of a week fixed tbe fraud with some certainty upon a clerk in his office, named Dusten, who had the recording of those claims, and upon an outside accomplice named Rabe, both being Germans, aud on Friday they were arrested. A book contain ing tbe names of deceased soldiers and sums due was also seized, a part of the plan being' to make the fictitious heirs in which project they were to have been aided by an accom plice in Ppbiladelpbia, who is probably Ly this time in the clutches of the law. All the papers were recovered. EXCITEMENT OF THE FEMALE EMPLOYES OF THE DEPARTMENT. The commotion existing among the female employes in the different departments is widespread, consequent upon tbe rumor that they are to be relieved as soon as it can be done gracefully. Indignation meetings are frequently,though clandestinely held, and an organization is being effected lor the purpose of defence against Man, who, as an appli cant for a Treasury clerkship or anything of that sort, is looked upon more than ever as tbe common enemy. Tbe alarm has ex tended to the colored porters, messengers and janitors, of whom there are many iu public pay, and wild reports are circulated among themselves to the effect that conser vative Congressmen, aided by the new Southern delegation, will make a bold .push next seession to obtain the dismissal of all colored employes, and to fill their fat places with the maimed Union aud rebel soldiers. Secretary Seward lias received as yet uo official reply to the remonstrances which he undoubtedly forwarded to the French Gov ernment against the sending of more foreign troops to Mexico. But it is known that the French minister in Washington has energel ically protested the appointment of General Logan as minister to the Juurez Govern meat. The efforts to secure the release, on parole, of (.'lament 0. Clay, who la coufliiod with Jeff. Davis, have not yet succeeded. Mrs. Clay has made several ncieonal rp|iealaiu beliallofher husband. Coimtdeiiiblii alress is laid upou tbu lact that Mr. Clay volun tarily aurrsudered himaell nu bcariug that lm was charged with rouiplidly iu the plot to assassinate the President A Bad Hiidt.

TUESDAY, NOV KM BEK 28. 1865. Thirty.Kigth Halted Ntates t tingle... The coming session of Congress, which will couveue ou Monday, December 4th, will be the fiist session ot the Thirty-eight Con giesa ot the United States. In the House, a Speaker will be elected to succeed Hou. Schuyler Colfax, who occupied that impor tant position during the two sessions of the Congress which ceased to exist on tbe4lh of last March. Mr. McPherson, of Pennsylva- : nia, who was Clerk of the last Congress, is, j according *.o law, invested with the attributes ot Speaker pro tern, and upon him will de volve the duty of calling the roll, making the preliminary organization, and presiding until a Speaker shall have been regularly elected. There have been two or three in sipnces in which several weeks elapsed be fore the election of a Speaker, and heDce the importance of Mr. McPherson's posilion is plainly seen. The whole number of Con gressmen, including those from the reclaim ed States, is two hundred and forty-two— one hundred and eighty-four being accredit ed to States that did not sever their relations with the government, and fifty-eight to those which seceded. It is pretty well understood,re marks tbe New York Sun, that the latter class will not be allowed to participate in the elec tion of a Speaker, as Mr. McPherson holds to the opinion that Congress and not himself should pass upon the question of ad minission. Os those who will participate in the organization, one huudred and forty three are Republicans and forty-one Demo crats, from which figures it will be seen that tbe question of admitting Southern members at the outset has no practical importance; for, even if they and the Democrats would combine to elect an anti-Republican Speak er, they would be still greatly in the minor ity. If tile Republicans unite upon a candi date, therefore, they will have no trouble whatever in electing him. Mr. Colfax, Speak er ot the last Congress, is a candidate for re election, and as he is very popular with his party, there is hardly a doubt that he will again be chosen. In the Senate the division of parties will be relatively about tbe same as in the House. That body now stands thirty- eight Republicans and eleven Demo crats. Allowing that all the Southern mem bers will be admitted, aud that they will all vote against the Republicans, the majority in favor of the latter parly would still be five. Hon. Lalayetie Foster, ot Connecticut, will be President of the Seuate, and acting Viee President of the United States, vide Andrew Johnson, who has succeeced to the Pres idency. TH K NEWS FHOM MEXICO The Matamoraa Raucbero aud Imperialist paper of October sth, contains tbe particu lars of a plot for the surrender of the city of Matainoras to the liberals and the assassina tion of Gen. Mejia. The plot, however, wliicii was to have been accomplished through the treachery of Capt. W. W. Gohlson aud Lieut. Burch, two Americans, was discover ed in time to prevent it, aud Gohlson arrest ed aud shot. Burch effected hia escape. The same paper ot the 25th contains an account of an attack on the city by the lib erals, which was repulsed with considerable loss on the part of tbe assailants in killed, wounded aud prisoners, aud only a few wounded, aud less than a dozen killed on the side of the imperialists. Ou the moruing of the 27th Oct., a second unsuccessful at tack was made, which is thus described by the Ranchero. “At half past nine, however, the enemy ad vanced a rifle field battery in front of the upper forts and commenced shelling the city. The battery was covered by a skirt of chaparral, completely hiding it tiom view at tbe fortifications. The fire on the town was kept up with great vigor for some time, but doing no damage of consequence. One ball struck io Commercial slreet, another struck a house near the Maiu Plaza and scattered fragments of bricks among a party ot house top gazers, who vanished in something less than double quick time. A shell exploded iu Plaza Ca pilla. But the fire had not continued loDg before the enemy exposed one piece of hisar tillery, when a well directed fire from the forts put the battery and support to flight, leaving behind the exposed gun. At mis juncture a detachment of imperial cavalry charged in aud fired upon the flee ing outlaws for more than a mile. While the foregoing was taking place the enemy advanced in iorce to the South ot the city ; but a detachment of imperial cavalry drove the force back out of sight after a little sharp skirmishing.” The latest news from Mexico is of an im portant and somewhat exciting character. Among other startling rumors, it is stated that Gen. Palacios, in retaliation for tbe exe cution of Liberal Generals by the French, has ordered all tiie French, Austrian and Belgian prisoners to be shot. 'file Liberals appear to be meeting with success and Maximillian is said to have de ferred journeying to Yucatan in consequence of the precarious condition of his govern ment. A New Orleans dispatch of the 23d inst. says : There is a doubtful rumor that Bagdad is besieged by the liberals. It is also stated that the French Admiral demanded of Gen. Weitzel the surrender of the steamer captured by the liberals, which was refused. A rumor has reached here that the reason of the sudden (disappearance of the liberals from below Malamoras was because they were suddenly informed that the Imperialists weie marching from Monterey to take them in tbe rear. Proposed National Cotton Growing Com pany.—American and English bankers and capitalists interested in tbe pioduction ot cotton are making inquiries iu relation to organizing a national cotton growing com - pany in the South. The English attempt to produce cotton in India proves discouraging. Tbe only doubt of success in tbe South is (he uncertainty of securing the labor ot the freedmen. To remove their apprehensions on this point, Mr. Conway, late of the Freed, meu's Bureau iu Louisiana, has been re quested to visit Liverpool and London, and will probably leave within a few weeks. Mr. Joseph Clisby, for several years editor and proprietor of the Macon Telegraph, trom which he retired about the time of tbe sur render of that city to the Federal forces, ii announced as editor of the Journal and Mes senger.
