Washington, Feb. 27.—The agents of the Poet Of fice lately advertised the letting of over 7u0 routes in the States of Mississippi, Louisians, Arkansas, Ala bama and Georgia. Only 184 were let, and on 518 the people are still destitute of postal facilities, either be cause tbe railroads and stages will not carry the United States mails, or because they can’t, on ac count of the test oath. Secretary Dennison refuses to allow any contractor, postmaster ormail messenger to ‘handle the mails without first haring taken the oath. Fred Douglass writes that an attempt waa made to assassinate him in Baltimore last Sunday night. The Senate Military Committee resolved, at their meeting yesterday, to report a bill to provide for tbe national defence, by establishing an active uniform militia force throughout the United Statea. The first section makes every able-bodied male person, ttrtween twenty and forty years of age, subject to enrollment for militia duty. The second section exempts all the executive and Judicial officers of the government, and of the States, members of Congress, postmaster®, pilots, marines, telegraph operators, and all persons in charge of the mails. Several provide for the estab lishment of a Militia Bui'ean in the Adjutant General ol militia in each State, to be selected by the govern ment, who is to review and inspect the mint,. e t c . Section 10 says there shall be organized in all of the Statea one regiment of active volunteer militia for each congressional district. All officers of this active force. are to be appointed by the Governors of the Statea and Territories, bnt the )¥ar Department is to furnish all arms, etc. The President can order all or any part into service at any tjuie. The Lieutenant General may cause inspections to be made from time to time. General Steedman was telegraphed last week by his friends to come on to Washington at the earliest prac ticable time for consultation with the President on tbe phase of public affair*. He arrived yesterday morn ing and had an tntervie»*rith tbe President during the forenoon. Many profess to believe that in the event of a Cabinet dissolution he can have the port folio of war.

The following is the foreign intelligence brought by the steamer Cuba from Liverpool on the 10th of February: THE FENIANS IN AMERIOA——A PARLI AMENTA Y IN QUIRY. In the House of Commons on the 9th Mr Watkins gave notice that on the 16tli he should ask the Chan cellor of the Exchequer whetlmr any or what representation had been made on behalf of her Majes ty’s Government to tbe Government of the United Statea, with reference to the Fenian organization in America, more especially with regard to the employ ment of American officers, and the issue of bonds bv the so-called Irish Republic. He should also move for papers. raaUAJHENT AND OOLAKO—PENLAjnSH. In the House of Commons, un the 8th, the adjourned debate on the address in response to the Queen’* speech waa resumed by’The O’Donoghue,” who made a characteristic speech upon the grievances of Ireland. He argued that the discontent and disloyalty of Ireland were the natural result of mismanagement, and al though hopaless as tbe Fenian struggle with England might be, he insisted that the conspiracy was wide and deeply seated. He totally dissented from the para graph relating to Ireland In the Queen's speech, and moved amendment expressing It to be the duty of ministers to examine into the causes of Irish hi—«m. faction and to remove them. Sir. Blake seconded the amendment, and referred to efte har»htreatm&t wbiah, he said, the recent politi- cal prisoners were being subjected to. Mr. Raw son remarked that this statement was utterly without foundation, and opposed the amendment. Heveral Irish members followed in much the same strain as ‘‘ The O’Donoghue,•' and one hr two mem berspstated that the Fenian conspiracy waa of Ameri can origin, and that Mr. Seward was r *' * ~ Centre.

New York, Feb. 2T.—Reports from English detect ives at Pittsburg say that the Fenian General Sweepey's plan is to make a demonstration against CanadMftout the middle of March, with a small force, and strike New Brunswick via the Marine Frontier with his main column. John O’Mahoney publishes a letter to the editor of the Herald, stating that the assertion that he was about to dismiss Killian is untrue. The Commercial’s special says at a Fenian meeting here last night, instructions were given of a plan to seize the British Columbia and establish a harbor for privateer? on the Pacific coast that will sweep away the British commerce. It is understood that the Eng lish Minister has forwarded a communication on the subject to the State Depar tinent that formed a topic for a Cabinet discussion to-day. A proclamation will probably be issued against any violation of the neu trality law*. John C- Patterson, Internal Revenue Detective, was arrested to-day on a charge of levying black mail upon several Broadway merchants. CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. Washington, Feb. 27.—Senate—Mr. Wilson re ported from the Committee on Military Afiairj.

Aud whereas, no response has yet been received by the Senate for the information called for, which is deemed important; therefore. Resolved, That the President of the United States, if iu his opinion not incompatible with the public in terest, be requested to furnish to the Senate the infor mation called for in the foregoing resolution.

The New South of the 24th nit. says: “John Ferguson, Esq., of Charleston, former owner •f tbe steamer Planter, has applied for possession oi the steamer, claiming that she was stolen by negroes and captured from them by the federal blockading squadron, that he has taken the amnesty oath, and the steamer should be restored to him with his other property. Gen. Saxton reporta that the Planter was employed by the rebels, and while in this service was brought past tbe batteries and surrendered to Admiral DuPont by a slave named Robert Small The steamer has since been employed by the quartermaster's de partment and Small placed lu command. "Major M. R. Delaney, (colored) of the 104th U. S. colored troops, has been retained in service nothwith- • tending his regiment has been mastered out, at the request at Major Gen. Sickles. "Last Monday evening a sad affair occurred near the Army Machine Shim at St. Helena. Mr. D. H. Rice of Lemon Island, Brood river, was in the set of re moving some copper from the old steamer Edwin Lewis, when some dispute ~rose between him, Mr. John H. Mars, and Mr. Valentine Wall as tohia (Rice’s) right to take tbe copper. In the melee Mr. Rice drew his pistol and shot Mr. Wall, the ball entering near the eihgth rib on the left aide. The wounded mat is now at the Post Hospital. Although the ball has not been extracted it is thought he will recover. ’’ Mr. Maguire characterized the Fenian taovement as hopeless, and the caase of Injury to the country. He, however, thought the Irish people had many serious grievances to complain oC and considered that the government ought to make it their duty to take the state of things into consideration. Mr. Gladstone took exception to the remarks that the evils which afflicted Ireland were the results of legislation, and objected to pledge Parliament to redress evils which were in some degree beyond their power. He also objected to the amendment, on the ground that the government had in the address desired to denounce Fenianism, and said that the more clear and unequivocal their language was, the better it would be. Some of th« questions brought under their notice by members were being fully considered, and would in due time be brought before Parliament; and the legislation ought not to give merely vogue general promises to a people so sensible of former wrongs. The amendment was lost by an overwhelming ma jority, 346 to 25. The address was then agreed to. The Dublin police on the 9th discovered a second extensive Fenian manufactory of ammunition. All the material for making rifle cartridges were found in abundance. court-martial was in process in Dublin upon a gunner in the Ninth Artillery, charged witlLdsloyalty and treason. Two other soldiers in the regiments of the line were also about to be tried by court-martial, charged with drilling parties of Fenians. An energetic search for arms hiri been made at Waterford, but without effect. JAMAICA. The Jamaica affair was before Parliament. In the House of Commons Sir John Parkington complained that the conduct of Governor Eyre had been mis judged, especially so by Mr. Bright, who, he said, had accused the Governor of the murder of Mr. Gordon. Mr. Bright replied in a quiet, satirical manner, and stated that he had no doubt the commissioners would do os much justice to the Governor as to the blacks in Jamaica. He denied that he had pre-judged the Gov ernor, who, he said, was condemned by his own re port. Mr. Cardwell defended the conduct of the Gov ernor, who, he said, hnd endeavored to avoid pre judging the question. THB CATTLE PLAGUE. An Influential deputation from the various agricul tural societies had waited upon Sir George Grey, and urged upon him the absolute suspension or the traffic in the ca’.t'e, on the ground that isolation was the great means of staying the plague. The Morning Herald says the existence of the rain istry depends upon .fhe way it deals with the cattle plague question. Iu the House of Lords, on the 8tb, the Earl of Car narvon called attention to a statement that Govern meut declined to appoint a day lor national humilia tion on account of the cattle plague, for the reason that the calamity was only partially felt by the nation. Earl Bussell repeated what Sir George Grey had said In his letter, that a prayer applicable ’to thecottle Ugue existed at present, and was repeated every reek in the churches. The Bishop of Lincoln regretted the decision of the Government, aud spoke of a special day of fast and humiliation. RIDDELL * RUG 9, E. S. RIDDELI*. a * 4n3-tf PiorniTOi M. P. mwQQ.
