THE THIRD HOUSE OF CONGRESS—THE STAR-CHAMBER EXPOSED. We cannot forbear recording our deliberate conviction that the object of instituting the Joint Committee of Fifteen, usually denominated the “Reconstruction Committee of -Congress,” was i to work a revolution. We have repeatedly argued, in support of this opinion, from the acts and declarations ofleadcrs, as we had public access to them. In the following communica tion, an additional and most important insight is afforded into the method whereby an artificial public opinion in the North shonld be manu factured, such as would render more plausible the preconcerted reasons to be assigned for a series of measures fatal to the liberties of the whole people: FROM THE HON. WILLIAM A. GRAHAM, SENATOR ELECT FROM NORTH CAROLINA. [For the National Intelligencer. The debate in the Senate, on yesterday, upon the order to print ten thousand copies of the report of the Joint Committee on “Reconstruc tion,” detailing the evidence taken before that committee as to the condition of political sen timent in the several States of the South,'and their fitness for representation in Congress, in which allusion was made to the course pursued by the committee in reference to the State of North Carolina, and on application submitted by me that Iter members elect shonld be per mitted %< her what might be alleged to her pre judice, and, if they deemed it proper, to cross examine the witnesses against, her, it any, and to adduce other testimony, renders it necessary that I ask oLyou the favor to publish the fol lowing correspondence. It was instituted solely for the attainment of truth, and thereby, as I trusted, to protect the character aqd rights of the State and people I was deputed in part to represent. The President of Hie Senate, at my request, had done me the honor to present inv commission as a Senator elect. Though it was laid on the table in conformity to precedents in other eases, and I was not admitted to the exer cise of the functions it contemplated, it still, In my conception, devolved on me the duty, in conjunction with my respected colleagues elect ed to both Houses, to observe the proceeding.-, of the public authorities, and when occasion j might seem to invite or justify it, to intervene for explanation, so far as it might be allowed, in defense of the interests and honor of our State and ! iie fair fame of her people. Seeing that an order to authorize the committee to send for persons and papers had passed the Senate, on motion of its chairman in that body —Mr. Fessenden, of Maine -a proceeding un derstood to imply that evidence is to be taken, and a searching and thorough itivestig-atiou to lie bad l applied for leave to lie present at the culminations pertaining to .the State of North Carolina, as will be seen in the letters follow ing: Hillsborough, N. January 17, 1806. Hon. It' /ii. P. Fesssnden, Senate Vnited States: Sin: Observing that you are first, named in the Senate's l>r.ineli of' the committee upon flic admission into (Congress of members from the Southern States, and having forwarded to the President of the, Senate, to be laid before that body, my commission as a Senator from North Carolina; perceiving, also, that the committee has bei ii authorized to take evidence in the matters submitted to it by sending for persons, and paper.-, I take the liberty of respectful* suggesting through you to the committee that it will be but justice, in the conduct of its pro ceedings in the premises, to permit the delega tion elected from each Slate to lie present it the reeeption of nil evidence touching such State or any of its members, with the privilege oi cross examining witnesses and ofintrodueing counter evidence, if they shall deem it proper. And for myself and my colleagues, I, with deference, request the exercise of this pri • vihige iu relation to all evidence having refer ence to the State of North Carolina or any of her members elect. I am, with the highest respect, Yonr obedient servant, W. A. Graham. My residence here is within twenty-four ?*P.

De Vn 15 in t It is not customary to allovyji erbss-examination ot witnesses. VeftiYc a com mittee. appointed to report on a subject not in volving individuals. The committee is sup posed to.be desirous to aseertian the truth, and capable of making all the examination necessa ry. The committee is quite willing, however, to examine any witnesses who may be produced, _ having knowledge of the snbjcct-mattpr, to any reasonable extent. The credentials of gentlemen claiming to be Senators have not been referred to this com mittee, and there is no probability that they will he. Yours, very respectfully, XV. P. Fessenden. Hon. W. A. Graham. Hillsborough, N. C., Jan. 29, 1866. Dear Sir: lam much obliged by yours of the 24th inst. I had supposed the province of vour committee to embrace that of a (Committee of Elections and Privileges, before which I take the rule to lie without exception that persons claiming to be members arc permitted to have what may be adduced against their claims, and to bring forward countervailing evidence. If this supposition be not correct, by reason of the fact stated by you, that the credentials of gen tlemen claiming to be Senators have not Jteon referred, the question will recur, whether the right of a State representation is not entitled to an equal privilege of defense by those whom she has chosen for that oflioe. i know not what, if anything, may be alleged against the right in question on the part of the State of North Carolina. 1 am satisfied that nothing can be alleged that ought to prevail; but until the objections and proofs are known, it it nut possible to canvass them, or to offer contradictory evidence. My sole purpose is to aid the committee, so far as this Slate is con cerned, in the ascertainment of truth, and to guard against ex parte testimony from unknown or irresponsible sources. If, therefore, the committee will at any time furnish notice of the points on which evidence is desired, or of pre judicial testimony which it is necessary to meet, my colleagues and myself will gladly avail our selves of its permission to offer such relevant proofns may be in our power. I am, very respectfully, yours, W. A. Graham. Hon. XX’m. P. Fessenden, Senate United States. To prevent misconception, I esteem it proper to remark that in giving these letters to t-lic public, no reflection is intended on the motive of the committee, much less on those of its honorable chairman in the Senate, ns a gentle man with whom, through a personal acquaint ance of many years, i have ever maintained the kindest and most respectful personal relations. But it is obvious that, from inadvertence, or a different view of the subject on the part of the committee, or from misapprehension on ray part, I have been disappointed in the expecta tion of being allowed to hear what was imputed 10 my State as demerit, and of counteracting it, if I could—a mistake from which some injus tice has resulted. My inference, froili the cor respondence, certainly was that the committee, when they should reach the matter touching North Carolina, would notify us of the points on which evidence was desired, and would af ford an opportunity to apply to adverse testi mony the ordinary tests of truth, as well as of combating it, if, in our judgment, proper to be done, by witnesses called by ourselves. ’ I was, therefore, surprised, a few days since, to learn that the committee had made report of the evidence taken by them, and obtained an or der for its publication—a proceeding which, in a legislative body, as in a court of chancery, I presume, implies that all the evidence has been taken that it is designed to receive. This in ference is confirmed by the application for and adoption of the additional order to print 10,000 extra copies. It imports that the case, as to the facts, is fully made up, and that upon these it is to be submitted to the judgment of the two Houses of Congress, and the still higher arbi trament of public opinion. Now, I most re spectfully protest that, if, upon anything con tained in all this evidence, the people of the State of North Carolina shall be condemned, or kept in a State of condemnation, it will be n condemnation without a hearing, when she was entitled to be heard. Os all the testimony received by the commit tee, there is not a single affidavit having any specific reference to her; and there is room for hope that, from the absence of other evi dence, she was not considered involved in any great degree of demerit or criminality, and it was not deemed necessary to prosecute the in vestigation any further on that account. But it cannot escape investigation, that in a State of a million inhabitants, the only witness called to speak ofher condition, the sentiments and ruling motives ofher people, should be Lieut. Col. Dexter H. Clapp, from one of the Eastern States, an officer of the Freedmen’s Bureau at Raleigh, who states that he i 6 conversant with the people in some twenty counties out of eighty-seven—a sojourner filling an office for which there will be no necessity In a short time to come, unless upon the theory that the gov ernment of the State will not do justice to its negro population in their new condition of freedom. Ido not design to impeach the in tegrity of this gentleman. He is spoken of in terms of high respect by persons of our com mon acquaintance. It has so happened. that I have not met him. But surely his opinions, loosely expressed, as they are in his affidavit, (and nothing more fully illustrates the import ance of cross-examination than the want of precision in the language of his statement.,) formed by intercourse, as he admits, among less than one-fourth of the people of the State; his vagus statement of a design to repudiate the rebel debt, (what is meunt by this I do not com prehend;) his sweeping assertion that “Union men and freedmen stand a poor chance fbr jus tice in the State coarts,” (an aspersion upon the Sri-tUcchln Constitutionalist. BY STOCKTON <fc CO judicial officers of the State recently ehosen by a Legislature elected under the restricted sys tem of suffrage ordained by the proclamation of the President and Provisional Governor, as well an injustice to the general sentiment of the people,) are all tooindefiniteandunsupport ed to serve as the foundation for any action or •ourse of policy on the part of the Government towards the people of an entire State. Had I been so fort unate as to have had the attention of the committee, even after this affidavit was taken, I think I could at once have more than neutralized all the disparaging testimony of Cpl. Clapp, by requesting that there might be summoned another officer of the Freedmen’s Bureau, some time on duty at Fayetteville, North Carolina, who had equal opportunities of observation, and I judge as much capacity for improving them. This is Major Lawrence, of Illinois, (I am told a brother of the chief justice of that State,) whose letter recently pub lished on these topics I hope to append to these remarks, as well as the statement of Colonel Clapp. I had no design or wish to be examined as a witness myself. I should have considered my self rather as occupying' the place of counsel or advocate of the State. And if the committee had intimated a wish for such information, would have taken pleasure in furnishing them the address of gentlemen in every section ofthe State whose acquaintance, whose integrity, whose intelligence, whose loyalty and interests, and identification with the country qualified them to speak of the condition of affairs and the state of feeling and opinion towards the Government of the United States with full knowledge; men whose ambition has been chastened by the fires of adversity, whose afflic tions and sacrifices would satiate a generous foe, whose desire is to re-establish the constitu tional relations of all the States with the Fed eral Union, and, as preparatory to this, to dis arm the spirit of revenge and the remoreless passions engendered in a great revolution, which, by reason of its want of success, many are unable to distinguish from a petty rebellion. And before Congress and the people, to which this evidence is submitted for their ver dict and judgment, I respectfully claim that the State of which 1 am a citizen and a servant is not. to he affected injuriously by any evidence received by this committee. She lias in good faith submitted herself to all the requirements in that scheme of policy prescribed by the President, from the Potoinae to the Rio Grande; is obedient to every law of the Union ; is with heavy '.acrifiees paying the arrearages of taxes of former years to (lie United States as well as present- levies, and not arrogantly, but confi dently appeals to that sense of justice and those remembrances of ancient friendships which shall restore to her the full fruition of her rights as it State ofthe American Union. YV. A. Graham. Ebbit Horse, Washington, March 16, 1866. Extraordinary Story. Tiie following statement has been made by Captain Casey, the late commander and only survivor of the British ship Jane Leuden, laden with timber, from Quebec tor Falmouth, who was rescued from the water-logged ship by tbe Dutch hark Ida Elizabeth, of Rotterdam, from Batavia for Amsterdam: “We sailed from Quebec on the 28th of No vember. Nothing particular occurred • until December 20th, in latitude 37 deg. 47 min. At eight, a., m., a fresh wind from the southwest, j which increased to a gale at noon ; the barome ter .28 IS. The gale increased, and at six, p. in., a complete hurricane ; all hands st the pumps, the ship straining heavily, and making, great quantities of water. “On the 21st still blowing a hurricane, the ship : making more water, the pumps not able to keep tier free, sea making a fair breaeii over her, and all hands lashed on die pumps. At noon, a heavy sea struck the ship on the starboard side, smashing three boats and washing them over board, with all the fresh water and every movable article on deck. Sounded tie pumps and found five feet of water in the hold ; at the time running with close-reefed topsail and reefed foresail before the hurricane. Tried to take the foresail in, lint it blew to ribbons ; all hands commenced at the pumps again. At <5:30, p. in., in spile of every exertion, the ship was full of water, the sea burying the hull, and all hands obliged to take to the rigging. At midnight the gale abated, the barometer risin:’ fast. “On the 23d, at 10, a. m., die weather being moderate, the crew were able to leave the tops and get on deck; commenced finding provi sions, and got bread and batter, potatoes and some turnips into the top. At noon it com menced to blow very hard from tbe southwest and north—myself again compelled to take to the fops. Atk aiji., tttfcjjalf increased ton hurricane, causing the sea’ td rise fnarfnl)y, whirh r '.’note hereto Her Worn ends with 1 t jttets in the water, washing all liands' lnio Tnc water, seventeen in number. Nine of the number at once met a watery grave; myself and the remaining seven, with a hard struggle, regained the wreck. By this time the bowsprit, fare-mast and topgallant-masts were carried away with the sea. “The remaining part of the crew got on the ship’s side, and there secured themselves as well as they could. In about one hour and twenty minutes, the squall being over, the ship rolled to an upright position, and we again took to the maintop, lint to our sorrow found all the provisions we had saved were washed away, the cabin forecastle washed overboard, and no thing left on board in the shape of provisions. At half-pash 4, p. in., the whole of the stern frame came out, taking the rudder and stern post with it, the cargo coming out very fast.— On the 23d, tiie weather moderated, and no thing particular occurred till the 6th day of January, when one of the crew, named Alfred Bolton, fell from exhaustion, and at 9 o’clock the same evening he died, and the next morn ing we committed his bedy to the deep, having been fourteen days without food of any descrip tion. “On the 7tli, one more; William Thomas, a native of Wales, died; and in spite of all I could do tiie men would drink salt water, which drove them mad. On the day after (the Bth) four more died from exhaustion, cold and hunger, leaving me and tiie carpenter alone.— \Y r c were so much exhausted that we could not move the bodies into the sea, so we lowered them on the deck of the vessel. On the 10th the carpenter died, I being then the only sur vivor ; and on the next day, as well as I could, 1 lowered the body on the ship’s deck. On the 23d of January I was taken off the wreck, af ter being there twenty-eight days without food of any description, by the Dutch bark Ida Eliz abethi-of Rotterdam, from Batavia for Amster dam. — Mobile Times. (From the N. Y. Grain and Flour Reporter. Ootton and Corn. A Macon exchange states that little or no corn will be raised in the South this year, owing to the enormous profits which are expected to be realized from.the growth of cotton. In view of flic fact that t'ne South must buy all the bread stuffs it needs, tiie same paper says: “ The West must now feed us; and if the freedman turn out to be a faithful laborer, the' trade between the South and XXVst will exceed anything before known.” There is scarcely any doubt but that the South will devote its whole energies to the raising of cotton. It cannot possibly cost more than eight cents a pound in gold to grow it, while, if the crop turns out at all fair,"it must sell for over twenty-five cents a pouud in gold. So large and so certain a margin is rarely offer ed for an agricultural product, and all accounts agree that, with the freedmen or without them, a very large amount will be raised if the season is at all propitious. So great is the demand for white labor to go\ to the Southwest, that there is an absolute scar city of farm hands at the West, notwithstand ing the stoppage of the war; and wages rule so high that farmers are holding meetings to in duce laborers to come from tiie East. Indeed, there is a fear that the high price of labor, and the rates charged tbr transportation of freight on the railroads, will discourage the growth of breadstuff's this year, when they will be much needed to feed the South. The heavy' trade which will sprtog up next summer ants fall between the South and West will have important political, as well as business consequences. It will give great activity to the ship-yards to supply the immense fleet of steamers which will be needed on the Southern rivers to replace those destroyed by tlio war; while cities like St. Louis, Memphis, Cincinnati, and Louisville will add enormously to their trade. The more intimate commercial relations be tween the South and West will not be. without their influence on the fall elections. If the pre sent Congress persists in keeping the South out of the Union, the West will be revolutionized politically when Congressmen are to be chosen. The. Western people are too generous, as well as too shrewd, to needlessly humiliate the sec tion which will be their best customer. A Fish in an Oil Well—Singular Dis covery.—The Pithole (Penn.) Record has the following : No. 66, T. Holmden Farm, has been pumping oil and water for some time, and on Saturday last the superintendent had the. tubing drawn for the purpose of cleaning the well out and drilling it deeper. During the operation they struck a large crevice in the rock, and on using the sand pump they brought to the surface a live tisb, having no eyes, of a brown color, and some four inches long. The fish was brought from a dept h of six hundred and sixteen feet, and no doubt felt as much surprised at being introduced into this vale of tears as did those who made the introduction. This specimen of the internal production of the earth was put in water immediately after being brought to the surface, but being accustomed to a more retired life a mixtnre of salt water and oil for food and raiment, survived his changed condition of life but a lew hours. He was as tightly “bot tled” as Butler on the Janies, and is now on ex hibition at iease 66.

Washington, March 21.—A citizen convicted by a military commission at Richmond, of the murder of a Union soldier, has been released by the Secretary of War, because of a clerical error in the reports.* Senators Dixon and Foote are daily growing worse, and there is little hope ot the recovery of the latter. Ike Cook, of Chicago, who was sued by the Auditor of the Post Office, lor a balance due the Department from him as postmaster at that city in 1862, has paid up the amount of *5,300, and the easse has been dismissed. Another contribution, amounting to nearly SIO,OOO in value, was received from the Bir mingham (England) Freedmen’s Association, by General Howard, and will be appropriated to the use of destitute colored people in the South. The Times' special says: “ Several collectors of customs have sent communications to the Secretary of the Treasury, asking instruction • in regard to the transportation of crude and re fined petroleum. They ask if the penalties o! the law of August 30, 1852, shall be enforced against steamboats for transporting crude and refined petroleum without a special license. In other words: Does petroleum come under the class of other explosive burning fluids? The Secretary replies that the Department has not decided that crude and refined petroleum are. of tii.it character, and, until otherwise or dered, these commodities shall lie carried as freight, without special license, proper care be ing observed in its storage with reference to safety from lire. Secretary McCulloch has re ferred the question of the explosive qualities of petroleum to a special board or chemists, and expects it, with directions, to report at the earliest possible moment. The decision oi the board will guide the Secretary in making rules hereafter a- to the transportation of petn. lcuin.

Robinson, in the Now York Saturday Press, says: Having traveled considerably in my time, I have thought soiup brief suggestions, short perhaps of a perfect manual on tiie subject, might be useful. Procure n well-dressed clerk, with curly black hair, impossible, to stand at the desk, and by all means insist on his wearing diamonds. Seely visitors will take no liberties with such a man. XVhen a traveler comes in he is not to notice him for the space of five minutes at least; it puts the obligation at once where if belongs. You take him in, not he you. It is an excellent device to have the numbers of your chambers reversed from tiie old plan. i. e., let them begin to count from the roof. Thus, when the guest sees the clerk put “No. 10,” for instance, opposite his name on the reg ister, he departs satisfied, and is too much ex hausted and cowed by the time lie discovers its whereabouts to make any complaint. Instruct your clerk that it is uot his business to know anything about departing trains and steamboats. Also, if yonr house happens to be in a coun try town, to add one dollar a day invariably to all New Yorkers’ bills. They will not think much of yonr house otherwise. When a guest has paid Mis bill, and is about to depart, let the clerk ask cheerfully, “ which way do you go, Mr. Robinson ?” Some persons are so easily imposed upon that the extraordinary fact of a highly bedizen ed clerk’s knowing their names two minutes after reading them on the register tickles them tremendously. Iu regard to the dining room yon cannot have too impudent a man as head waiter It should be his duty when a guest enters the the room, no matter how empty it may be, to take linn in convoy, and make him walk the entire length of it before assigning him a seat It not only serves to impress the grandeur of the apartment upon him, but invariably dis concerts bashful men, so that they devour their meals meekly and make no troublesome re quests. Ladies should be served in tiie same wav for exactly contrary reasons. . H affords them a fine opportunity to display their clothes, and puts them in good humor * Let the sexes be kept religiously apart while feeding, unless in the case of husband and wife Married men t ravelling alone will suffer so much from the dearth of female society that the next time they will probably brine their wives. b It will scarcely be necessary to make auy sug gestions in regard to extra charges in the bill as they will naturally occur to the feeblest of landlords. You should always, however, charge for a fire in winter in every room that has conveniences tor H, and if remonstrated with, reply that it is a “ rule of the house,” and the guest might have had it. This phrase you will find of immense service on all sorts of occasions. Procure the largest Chinese gong you can find to awaken your guests in thp morning and call them to meals. They will conclude that your house is a stun ning affair. A negro will probably beat it more thorough ly than a white man. . Also, on the counter in the office, keep an immense hammer-bell. i, A J u £ cious c lerk will produce a very hum ming effect upon a modest guest by striking it i apidly four or five times when he is asking ab surd questions.

THEY ARE CONSTRUCTED OF WILLOW, COVERED WITH RAW-HIDE, HIGHLY ENAMELED, FLESH COLOR, IMPER VIOUS TO WATER AND UNAF FECTED BY HEAT. A Medium Size Arm weighs only Si ounces, mid a Leg; from 4 to 6 pounds. Notwithstanding their lightness they are very dura ble, requiring but little expense to keep them in order, and so simple m their construction that a common mo chAiic can make any necessary repairs in a few min utes, and so strong that it is impossible to split it with an axe or break ii with reasonable force. We imitate nature to the life, and make the limb the shape of the corresponding leg or arm, and finish it as perfectly as possible. The natural motion very oft i,>n is so perfect that in large number of eases it is impossible to tell which is the artificial from tjje sound limb. THE AR M is the wonder of the age and challenges ihc admiration of the world. A person whose stump is one or move inches in length and retains a healthy degree of force and rigidity, can, with this arm, at will, Raise the Artificial Hand to his Mouth, Forehead or even to the top or hack of his Head, Put on or take ofi his Hat, Carry his Valise or Cloak, Use the Iloe, Axe or Plough Handles, Roll a Wheelbarrow, Ami by securing a knife, fork, pen, nail brush or other implement into the part of the hand prepared for it, he can Cut hi* Food and Carry It to hia Mouth, Write with Respectable Clearness, Wash the Remaining Hand, Play the Violin, Hold the Reins in Driving, etc., etc. THE LEG is equally as useful and beautiful, and as perfect a piece oi mechanici an as the arm. The ankle joint is so constructed as to give the natural motion with tho assistance of the toe joints to tho foot, which being connected to the upper part of Hie leg by artificial cords running over pulleys, secures a proper lever power, the whole resting upon a huff base, making the step light, clastic, natural and easy. Persons wearing one of these legs Readily Walk Five Miles—Plough all da)’ long, Do Carpenter or Cabinet Work, Go Up and Down Stairs, with ease, Mount and Dismount a Horse, And with practice Run, Jump and Dance, With two Artificial Legs Walk two miles Without Resting, Drive a Wagon—Make Salesmen or Expressmen, Telegraph Operators, 4:c. Our workmen are PRACTICAL ARTIFICIAL ARM and LEG MAKERS, three of them using Legs of their own manufacture. OUR FACILITIES ARE UNSURPASSED. Our Work Warranted for 18 Months. PRICES: For a neat, plainly finished Arm or Leg, steel rivets and hinges $ 150 A fine limb, with silver plated hinges, high ly polished and extra finish, from 2(4) to (.00 Bar Call and examine for yourselves.
