A Vote in the Sknatk.—On Tlio 12th inst. the .Senate of tho United Staten modified and then ndoptod Mr. Stevens’ caucus resolution referring tho rebel .States to a joint committoc, by a vote of 38 to 11. According to tbo correspond ence of tho Cincinnati Commercial, (rad ical paper,) all of the Democrat*, and Senators Doolittle and Dixon, of tho lie- publican*, voted agninst it. Senator Doo little spoke most earnestly against the original House resolution, which he doomed an effort to dissolve tho Union by an act of Congress. llo alluded to the caucus which originated it, and said that it was so carefully arranged beforehand, that in three minutes after that caucu>> convened Mr. Slovens was retiring at the head of a committee which, in a few min utes later, reported the resolution, lie charged that Mr. Stevens did uot dare wait for the annual message of tho Presi dent. At tho conclusion of his speech, Senator Doolittle said that the people would surely sustain tho President and his policy, and that it was the duty of Congress to bespeak him words of faith, courage and confidence. , Major General Swayne, assistant com missioner of tbe Vrcedmen's Bureau for Alabama, has published a circular notify ing judicial officers and magistrate* of the State that their duty to act ns agents of tho Bureau continues, by constitutional pro vision, to the clote of the vesaion— not to the time of tha late adjournment bf the Legislature. They are instructed, in ov* ery case in which a freedman is a parly, to take for their method of proceedure tho the laws of the Slate, except so far as those laws make a distinction on account of color. We see in tho Augusta paper* an adver tisement by Messrs. Branch, Sons dc Co., at tbo Georgia lUilroad Bank, inviting parties wishing to sell Confederate Slates Bonds of tbo ono hundred million loan to call on them.

The Western Grain Market, Wheat speculation in some of the North Wastern HtaleB.aru uuHerlng quite honvy lossos.

This sudden fall in tho pi ice had a Hi. - nslrouH effect upon nil who wore rallying wheat by the thousands of builmls on it small margin. As each of Lhctjn tumbled, lie knocked over his neure-t dependent neighbor, and in this way the ralamity was carried to the doors of somo houses of coiihUImibM* means and responsibility.

Every ono don’t understand tho nature of the wheat operation*,and con*equently of the failures which take plane whenever there is any *udd«u ov serious change in llio market. Every day there are sales ot wheat which are bona jidc. They consist of the notuui exchange of so tnueh wheat for so much money—the wheat being de livered by on# parly, und tho money by the oilier. But for every sueh sale thcro aro ton other sale* in which no wlient passes and none i* intended to he passed, and in which all Un; money involved is a margin on either side sufficient to cover any ordinary rise or fall in tho market. If tho rise or fall bo sudden and u little beyond tho ordinary changos, tho proba bility is that the party’s margin is swal lowed up, und he i* regarded us having failed. He borrows two or three hundred dollars to bo employed again ns a margin, and plunges in once more ; if he makes any money, he settles his previous losses ; if not, he does not.
