On the 21st inst., the Alabama State con vention adopted an ordinance which pro vides that all the laws enacted by the legis lature since the 11th of •J.in'hary, 1861, that have not since been repealiAi; and which are not in conflict with the constitution of the United States ttjiil laws made in pursuance thereof, or of the constitution of the State, be ratified, and declared to be valid from their respective dates: and shall remain in fall force and effect until repealed according to law; except, however, ail such laws as au thorized the issue of bonds, treasury notes and change bills by the state; and ail laws which authorized the payment of all debts to the State for moneys loaned to individuals or corporations in Confederate uumey or bonds, and the payment of dues and taxes to the State in Confederate liond8,.or State treasury notes, and all laws in relation to taxation. The 2nd section of the skiue ordinance pro vides that in coniputjingtlio time necessary to create the bar of the statutes of limitations and non-claims; the tint? elapsing between the 11th day til ‘.raunsty, 1861, and the pass age of this ordinance shati not he estimated.

Be it ordained by the people of the State of Alabama in convention assembled, That as the institution of slavery has been des troyed in the State - of Alabama, hereafter -there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary |servitude in this State, otherwise than for the punishment of crime, wliereof the party shall be duly convicted. * And be it further .ordained, That the con- stittition lie amended by striking out all pro visions in relatiou to slaves and slavery. And be it further ordained, That it shall be the duty of the legislature at its next ses sion,to pass such laws as will protect the freed- men of this State in the fall enjoyment of all their’ rights of person and property, and g uard them and. the State against any evils tat may arise from their sudden emancipa tion. ,. 'i itt- ; ;tj The Great Fire at Constantinople. The Ghihe publishes the following particu lars respecting the great fire which broke out in Stamhoui qn Tuesday night, Sept. 5 : This terrible fire has been attended witli a far more serious los : , of property than was expected when the that telegram was sent to London; aud it now funis out that no fewer than 2,800 houses.''"-public buildings, and places dedicated for ili vine service, have been till tins mo l part lereled to tile ground.— There are ccitnimy n hrtw e.-icvptions, where it... -..m art staudjng, but the principal mosque.- tire now nowhere to lie scrip The accounts lor warded this (Friday! morning in the <lifl'crem»H)sura'ttf'e companies in this city are of a harrowing luriure. Some 25,500 per sons had to rush Mi?of their habitations al most naked Jo escape from the frames. It would appeal that the conflagration com menced in tDbuiidjng two'stories high. From that part the flimie« spread with rapidity, lighting Jn sime'erfta and stores j>U the uii#^.vest side. The" scene among the poor people, was pitiable iu tbe extreme. The ineagermeans of contending with such a lire were found perfectly inadequate, and added to tlrnt the water supply’was equally in sufficient. Explosions of a fearful character followed in rapid succession, and it tvns feared that, as the building came toppling doivu.ifttV- eral men who were - assisting i find been crushed to death. It was not, however, clearly stated whether any lives had been us orifice^ 1 the excitement and confusion being so great that the agents of the different insurance olhces were’ unable to ascer tain, but then: was strong ground for supposing that a great loss of life-had taken place. It was-found perfectly impractica ble to find shelter for the whole of the luimed-out people and their children, and they had to content themselves by sleeping iu fields and .gardens near.- When the last telegram Was received, prayers were being offered up to tilt Almighty to stop the rava ges.of the tire. The principal portionsof the house were composed in ii great measure of timber, which of coarse will account for the extraordinary spread of the flames. The fire is now considered to have been fairly stop ped at each point, and unless the wind should Apringup, there wis nb riaifgeF'W fij’ ftfr- 1 tfmr extension of mischief. Whole streets, squares, mosques,’arid government i mildings were blazing away at the same time. The French Steals hii’s.—The London GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. Texas advices say that immigration of eedmen to cities is decreasing rapidly, most them evincing a desire to abide bv con- acts, In localities where negro troops are ationed sonic spirit of demoralization pre vails. Tbe Northern Post of St. Petersburg an nounces that a Persian occulist, named Mirza AbbosIIadi-Motissein, who is now at Moscow, having received from the chief of the milita ry hospital authorization to visit the soldiers there whose sight is nearly gone, selected fourteen, whom lie took home with him to treat at his residence, and subjected them to an operation, so skillfully executed, that each entirely recovered the use of his eves. He refused all remuneration ior those cures.

It will be remembered that, until last win ter, every year a number ot military reports were specially ordered to be printed by con gress. General McClellan’s, General Rose- crans’s, and a few other reports, were tliu4" published at the public expense. During 1 the last congress, however, a resolution was' passed putting a stop to tlie desultory pub-' licatioDS, arid authorizing and directing the secretary of war to have collected and print ed, in proper form, all the papers and documents of every description, of any his toric character, having been collected in his department from the tall of 1860'to tlie close of the civil war. This congressional mandate, will life faithfully acted upon, and will result ill due course ol" time in the fullest possible military history of the war. Of course tlie compilation will embody only loyal material. To carry this undertaking through in a cred itable manner will require the continuous la bors of a number of compliers for several years; The public can form no idea of the vastness of the material already piled away and still pouring into the war department in a steady stream. In a number of rooms the walls are covered irom floor to ceiling with .shelves, cases, aiid boxes, in which the vast accumulations are stored away. Ol'course a large portion of these records consists of ir relevant matter not required for the military history. To separate the “wheat from tlie chaff" will be a most tedious,' protracted pro cess. The magnitude of the task of getting the essential matter ready for publication may be inferred from the' fact that it is the intention to print every dispatch, every order, every letter, every report, from generals command- ing.down to the commanders of the small est bodies. Of course, it is impossible at this time to estimate the Dumber - of volumes to which the work will swell. I would not be surprised if it exceeded Jifty large sized Dnes. The sub-reports of General McClellan’s pen insular Campaign alone are said to contain matter enough to’fill a dozen. The work of collating, has beep progressing for some months', but so far only the matter relating to the events of the first six months of 1861 "has [been pitIntcf shajie. 'The first volumes wiH probably be printed during the coming winter. As I stated, this proposed milita ry history will be as fall as- it can.be made with the material within the reach of tbe war department. But there are indications that tlie material relating to some of the most interesting episodes, even at its com mand, will be very incomplete. There, are B.

Special Correspondence of Cincinnati Gazette.] In one of,my recent letters I spoke of gam bling as one' of the vices of our fashionable women, and I have since learned that it is practiced in r. - iV. more than I had supposed? In Fifth Avenue, and Fourteenth and Twenty-third streets, there are often parties of ladies from which the op posite sex are sternly excluded, where the fair gamesters play untii dayli ght for large stakes; ft and it not uhfrequently happens that when their purses are depleted, they put up their bracelets, necklaces and watches as wagers. Some of the feminine gamesters lose heavily, and the desperate shifts—ho allusion to their wardrobes—to which thevareput to conceal their losses and replace them, must be fear- -t" fully demoralizing. Ayoiing woman, the daughter of one of - our most opulent citizens, was pointed out to me last Saturday in the Park, as a notorious gambler, by one of her ownsex, who inform ed me she had parted with nearly $100,000 since she went to Saratoga, in July, and made her doting papa believe she had expended the sum in dress and charity. The young woman in question is very pret ty, not more than twenty, and no one re garding her apiritnelle race, her ’soft; Blue . eyes, and gentle and reserved manner, would imagine she had fallen, a victim to one of the njost dangerous vices. One , might almcpt apply to her the famous couplet that Pope employs for his Belinda? ; ‘ - It to her share some female errors fall, Look on her face and yon’U forget them all.

The process of refining increases its value to over $50,000,000, ior half as much as the wheat ero}): The consuinption of this newly discovered illuminator and lubricator is in creasing very rapidly, both at home and abroad. In 1862,J;urope consumed 10,000,- 000 of gallons, in 1864, the importation had increased three hundred per cent., 30,000,000 of 'gallons Iieing consumed there, and in 1866 it'is ^estimated that 90,000,000 will be required'! -There is a brisk market for it the world over—Asia, Africa, South America, and Island of the seas are all calling for" it. The best authorities ori the subject, consider eighteen months the life of an oil well. Some last longer than this, but the great majority give out before they are a year old. But experience shows that oil may be struck and good yields ob tained in Close proximity to exhausted wells." Some,wells that refuse, under the most vigor ous pumping, to yield a barrel more, are made productive by boring them deeper. The deepest wells in operation are about 500 to 000 feet. Scientific" men contend that tlie greatest oil deposits underlie the earth’s surface 1,000 to 1,200 feet. Considerable oil is produced in Canada and West Virginia but the produc t tis siuall compared with that of Pennsylvania. • * ’’ ol WI/19CK' tlvreine ■ T - An .engineer i^ells thei/ollowing.story of Western life: “We had been busy during the day, running the line through a dense pldce of woodland.

Visit to the Bieth Place on Wash ington, Lee and Others.—A correspond ent of fhe Fredericksburg Ledger writes: On Saturday last I paid a visit to the birth place of Washington; yes, the immortal fa ther of his country, Wakefield, for that is the name of the place, is situated on Pope’s (not Bridge’s, as Washington Irving erroneously states it) creek. Not one stone is left upou another of the building in which the father of his country first saw the light of earth, and even the stone erected on the place by the late G. W. P. Custis to denote the spot, has been destroyed or carried off. The identical spot as pointed out by on^of the descend ants, and probably the oldest of the family, is now a com field. The land is owned by Mr. Wilson who married a Miss Washington. This estate has been in the Washington fam ily for over two hundred years. The family tomb is on Bridge’s creek, about one half mile distant from Pope’s creek. It is this, probably, which misled Mr. Irving in starting that the birth spot was on Bridge’s creek. Lack of time and the condition of the weather prevented me from visiting the birth spots of the other characters. The house in which Monroe was bom and also that in which Richard Henry Lee was bom -are both gone, not a trace of them remains. That-in which Robert E. Lee was bom, the Stafford House is still standing in all ita splendor. The legislature of Virginia had prior to the war, appropriated a sum of money to enclose the birth spot of Mr. Mon roe, but for some unexplained reason it was never done. CanonsCaseof Matrimonial Inconstancy. From the Lowell (Mass.)

At a later hour the same night. » carriage drove up to the door of the hotel with another couple, who engagaged lodgings in an adjoining chamber. All passed off quietly until the next morning, when the .two couples were summoned to tlie breakfast table. There they met, when, lo and behold, there was a mere change of part ners, each gentleman bearing upon his arm the wife of the other h Although there was mutual blushing, mentai cursing and recrimi nation, it .was deemed best, after a sober sec ond thought, to let the matter rest as quiet ly as possible; but the coincidence was too remarkable a one to avoid the ear of the ever curious.
