Hence, our present prices will be found as cheap, for the amount of matter furnished, as those of any of the com peting periodicals in the country. Compared with the cost of the original editions, which at the present premium on gold would be about 310 ft a year, our prices (315) are excecdßigly low. Add to this the fact that wc make our annualpayments to the British Publishers for early sheets and copyright in Gold—sl costing us at this time nearly 32.50 in currency—and wc trust that in tho scale we have adopted wc shall lie entire ly justified by our subscribers and the reading public. The interest of these Periodicals to American readers is rather increased than diminished by the articles they con tain on our great Civil War, and though sometimes ting ed with prejudice they may still, considering their great ability and the different stand-points from which they are written, be read and studied with advantage by the peo ple of this country of every creed and party.

SeYMOi:n, Hagersfown, Md. J. C, EVERUART. Marliusburg, Pa. Jons J. SCUEL'L, Somerset, Pa. C. P. RAMSDELL, Oil City, Pa. The property of this Company consists of 200 acres f land, in fee simple, situated on the west side of the Alle gheny riTer. a short distance above 'he mouth of Scrub Grass Creek, in Scrub Grass Township. Venango county. Pa. It has a frontage along the river of one mile, wi'lh good boring surface for the whole distance. Two good oil wells are now in operation on the east side of the river, immediately opposite the property of the Co. The following in regard 1:o an adjoining tract, is taken from an editorial in the Philadelphia Price Our rent, oi December 17: "The geological relation of this property to Oil Creek, i? sneh that the oil-bearipg strata, which slrpply the well? on the Middle Section of Oil Creek (from the Washington McClintock Farm on the north to.the Buchanan on the South) must pass under this property: the range of the strata certainly bringing the two localities into this mutu al relation. Other data, obtained from an investigation of the conformation of the ground, ami the underlying rocks, lead to the same conclusion, viz: the main belt of oil, which extends down from the north-northeast and supplies the wells on the Washington, McClintock, Egbert, Stone, Tar, and Buchanan Farms, sweeps down stiit farther on the same smith southwest direction, cor responding with and controlled by the inclination of the strata, and underlies this property. It is well ascertain ed by the testimony of aged and respectable residents that the Indians, years ago, gathered oil fron'i the siirfacc of the ravines on this property and used it for rheumatic af fections. In Inter times the teamsters of Bullion Iron Furnace, gathered and used the oil for the purpose of applying it to galls and bruises on their horses. Oils for years was seen to exude at a number of plaees; among others, at the root of an old stamp on the hank of the Allegheny river, and in the ravine alluded to. A few years ago. the then owners of the tract, with one or two of their neighbors, bored a well, a few feet above the old stump. The first vein of oil wast struck at the depth of 2St> feet, and the second ut 160 feet; an experien ced man from Oil Creek was employed to tube the well, which produced a stream of oil three quarters of an lneh in diameter. The owners of the well, not satisfied with its production, pulled out the chamber, and drilled some foot deeper, when they struck salt water in large quantities and of great strength. Believing that the man ufacture of salt would, at the time, yield them a bcttei profit, they arranged their seed hags in the well, so as to enable them to exclude the oil and pump the salt water. Still oil was pumped along with the water, in such quan tities as to g'her upon the top of the Vtater-tanks, from whence it was collected, barreled and sold.'' There is every reason, therefore, to believe that the pro perty of the Company is rich in its supplies of oil. The uudinatiou •>[ the Strata prove*, conclusively, that those supplies of nil on Oil Oreek buve a hit/her heel than the oil-bearing rocks on this property: anil that, consequently, the supply will be more pemttment than that of Oil Creek it-elf. Tim large extent of boring territory, equal to that ol halt a dozen companies on Oil Creek, a boat-lauding on the Fartn. with the advantage of a navigable stream for the transport at ion of oil, and the certainty of the exis tence of large quantities of coal upon the tract., makeg the property of incalculable value. The Company are about preparing to sink several wells, and confidently expect the early development of oil in paying quantities. The plan ot' organization adopted by the Company com mends itself to public approval, from the fact that it places no fictitious value upon its stock, but confines the sale of shares strictly to their pur value.

The Amendment to the Constitution Passed. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. MAINTAINING THE ONION. Mr. Fernando Wood asked leave to offer the fol | fowing resolution : Renolced, That it is the duty of the President to maintain, in every constitutional and legal manner, ; the integrity of the American Union as formed by : the Fathers of the Republic, and in no event and un der no circumstances to proffer or accept negotia ] tions which shall admit, by the remotest implication the existence of any other Federal or Confederate Government within the territory of the United States. Mr. FARNSWORTH of Illinois objected to therecep tiop of the resolution. Mr. FERNANDO WOOD gave notice that he would next Monday move a suspension of the rules to in troduce the resolution. VOTF. FOR PRESIDENT. The Speaker appointed Mr. Stevens of Pennsyl vania, Mr. Washburne of Illinois, Mr. Mallory of Kentucky, Mr. Davis of Maryland, and Mr. Cox of Ohio, as a Committee on the part of the House to examine and count the votes for President and Vice- President of the United Stases, on the second Wednesdry of February. THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. The House resumed consideration of the Senate joint resolution, proposing amendments to the Con stitution of the United States. Mr. MCALLISTER said when this subject was before the House on a former occasion, I voted against the measure. I have been in favor of exhausting all the means of conciliation to restore the Union as our fathers made it. I am for the Union nd utterly op posed to secession or dissolution in any way or shape. The result of all the peace missions, and especially that of Mr. Blair has satisfied me that nothing short of recognition of their independence will satisfy the Southern Confederacy. It must therefore be destroy ed, and in voting for the present I cast my vote against the corner-stone of the Southern Con' I l'ederacy; and declare eternal war against the ene- mies of my country. Mr. COKEROTH addressed the House in favorof the amendment, not however, speaking for or against Slavery. He argued the power of Congress to .sub mit the qmendment to the Legislatures ol the states; that the South could defeat the amendment: that it must be submitted to the seceded States or it would be recognizing their Independence ; that if this was done, it would apply only to those which adopt ed it. He also argued that the South would not re main in the L T nion under the Constitution as it now is, and they would not come back after four years' fighting. All relating to Slavery should be stricken from our Statue books, and then when the people of the South were tired and sick of this barbarous and inhuman war, and demand a cessation of hostilities until it be ascertained if peace cannot be obtained, there will be no obstacles in the way of giving new guarantees to every person who shelters himself un der the American Constitution. He also argued that Slavery was the fruitful theme for the opponents of the Democracy. It breathed life and existence into fanaticism, and uuless that which sustained and fed fanaticism be removed from the political areua, the country would be entirely destroyed. He was iu favor of removing it, and then the people would place in power the democracy. He gave this vote after much consideration and as a Democrat, and would consistently stand by the organization of his party. No power on earth should prevent him from voting for the candidates of his party. His desire was the triumph of the party which has made this country great. Mr. MILLER (l'a.) said he owed it to himself and his censtituents to reply to the sentiments of his col league, just uttered on the floor. He wishes to so act that when he returned home he would not fce found derelict to the duty with which he had been entrusted, having take an oath to protect, defend and preserve the Constitution of the United States. Long as the matter had been discussed here, it was very strange that, no man had answered the question what was to be done with the freed* people, should such an amendment to the Constitution prove effec tive. Gentlemen on the other side had failed to make out a case. During this administration the Constitution had been violated in all its important features. Mr. HEKKICK, iu the course of his speech, said it was inconsistent to remain stationary when all the rest of the world is moving—change is the universal law of nature. What he had heretofore regarded as impolitic had ceased to operate. Having at the last session voted against the proposed Constitutional amendment, he would now vote for it. He had no doubt of the power to make the amendment in the manner propsed. In amending it three-fourths of the States represent the whole. The time has ar rived to exercise the power. He believed that if democratic policy and measures had been adopted, we should not now be engaged in war: but in the late presidential election the people had indorsed the anti-Slavery issue. He was prepared to follow it. The question had been settled by the verdict of the people, and. so far asthe National Government was concerned, it was not now a political issue. The adoption of the amendment would tend to restore all that is desirable to the prosperity of the country. He belived the best good of the Democratic party would be enhanced by the passage of the proposi tion, and it will open up away to its triumph in the future. Mr. BROWN (Wis.; .-poke of the dangerous abuse of the power of the amendment. He had never been the apologist for Slavery. He never thought that it would be a permanent institution. If he lived in Missouri or Kentucky he should vote for the abolition of Slavery therein: but us to Con gressional aetion on that subject it might be differ ent. The question of .Slavery under the Constitu tion was reserved to the States respectively, wherein it exists. In conclusion he caused to be read a sub stitute which he desired to submit, providing that hereafter every sale and transfer of slaves shall be void and the slaves shall become free, and, from and after 1880, Slavery shall cease, and Congress shall give compensation for the actual damage and loss suffered by loyal citizens of the United Stater. Mr. HARDING said truth and principle never change, but men change, and from time to time adopt opinions just as readily as they change their garment. But he would rnther hold on to the Con stitution, which was the only ark of safety. He denied that there was any Constitutional power to deprive any State in the Union of its local self-gov ernment. Kentucky had been treated in bad faith. Not one of the pledges made to her had been ful filled. She had been betrayed, and now jt was sought suddenly to emancipate all her slaves. The policy would result in the destruction of the slaves, and the meu who proposed to carry it out had no more love for the slaves than Satan ha-, for sinners. Mr. KALBELKLSCH opposed the proposition. Me j maintained that all our political misforttuues are attributable to a disregard of the Constitution. He had not learned his Democracy from his inveterate enemies, and he would not be instructed by them now. This amendment, he continued, if adopted,, would stand in the way of peace negotiations and a reconstruction of the Union. He said he should strive to uphold and carry out the pledges which ho had made to protect and defend the Constitution.— Apart from the question of power this was not the time to attempt an amendment of the Constitution in the niauner proposed. He denied that the result of the Presidential election was in favor of abolish ing Slavery everywhere. No such issue was made up in New-York. The debate having closed, Mr. ASHLEY, who had charge of the subject throughout, demanded the previous question, which was on the motion hereto fore made by the gentleman, to reconsider the vote of last session, by which the constitutional amend ment was lost lor want of the requisite two-thirds majority. Mr. STILES moved that the motion to consider be i laid on the table. This was decided in the negative—yeas, 57; nays' 111. The question was then taken on the motion to re consider, aud it was decided in the affirmative — yeas, 112; nays, 57. Mr. MALLOKY raised the question that a vote of two thirds was requisite to reconsider, but the Speaker overruled the point, saying all motions of this kind were governed by the rules. Mr. MALLOKY suggested a postponement of thevote until to-morrow, saying that several gentlemen who wished to record their names were absent. Let the time for taking the question be fixed so that all could have a fair warning. Mr. ASHLEY" replied that it had been universally understood that the question was to taken to-day. He had consented to the extension of the debate even against the protest of his friends. It eam'e with a very bad grace to ask for postponement of the vote, considering the eouftesy he had extended to the other side and the fair notice given. Mr. BLOWN (Wis.) asked the geutleman to give way that he might offer a substitute. Mr. ASHLEY said he had one himself, which he preferred to the Senate's proposition now before the House. Mr. EIJIRIUOE —Why do you not offer it? Mr. ASHLEY—Because I will not protract the pro ceedings. The question was then taken on the adoption of the following Senate joint resolution, submitting to the Legislatures of the several States, proposition to amend the Constitution of the United States. Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Rep resentatives of the United Stales of America in Congress assembled, two-thirds of both Houses con curring, that the following Articles be proposed to the Jjegislature of the several States as an amend ment to the Constitution of the United Stales: when ratified by three-fourths of said Legislatures -ih'M mUuii* ami /mmfoatM#. u* a fteirt of the said Constitution, namely .* AKTICI.E 13. SECTION 1. NEITHER SLAVERY NOR IN VOLUNTARY SERVITUDE EXCEPT AS A PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME, WHEREOF THE PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN DULY CONVIC TED, SHALL EXIST WITHIN THE UNITED STATES? OR ANY PLACE SUBJECT TO THEIR JURISDICTION. SECTION 11. CONGRESS SHALL HAVE POWER TO ENFORCE THIS ARTICLE BY AP PROPRIATE LEGISLATI ON. There was much confusion throughout the pro ceedings, amid which the Clerk proceeded to call the roll on the passage of the joint resolution. The Speaker said "Call my name as a member of this House.'" The name was accordingly called. When the Speaking answered to the name of Sohcyi.ek Colfax, applause followed his response, and alo burst out at other parts of the proceedings, which, however, the Speaker cheeked, and. calling the House to order, said he hoped a better example would be set to preserve the decorum of the House. Several members on the Democratic side of the House said those on the other side were as noisy as the persons in the galleries. Mr. Gaxsok, who voted "no" on the question of reconsidering the vote by much the joint resolution was heretofore lost, now voted "aye." and Messrs. Radford and Steele, of New-York, changed their votes in the same manner. These changes gave rise to applause, which was promptly checked. The utmost interest was manifested throughout the calling of the roll, and there was strict attention ou the part of the members to their responses; for on the previous vote to reconsider two-thirds of the members present had not voted in the affirmative, but a large majority of the members present carried that question. It-was therefore somewhat doubtful whether the pending joint resolution would be pass ed. The votes of Mr. Baldwin (Mich.) and the gentle men above mentioned, however, gave additional hopes to the friends of the measure. When the calling of the roll was completed, the Clerk proceeded to read the names, first of those who voted in the affirmative, and next of those who had voted in the negative. The House was now comparatively silent. The resultfof the vote was noted on a piece of paper and handed by the C lerk to the Speaker, who then announced the passage of the joint resolution by a vote of 'll9 yeas against 56 nays. ' Thereupon rose a general shout ot appiuuse. Ihe members on the floor huzzaed iu chorus with deafen ing and equally emphatic cheers of the throng in the galleries. The ladies in the dense assemblage wav ed their haudkerchiefs, and again and again the ap plause was repeated, intermingled with clapping of hands and exclamations ot "Hurrah for freedom ! "Glory enough for one day ! &c. the audience were wildly excited, and the friends of the measure jubilant. Never was a scene of such a character before witnessed in the House of Representatives; certainly not within the last quarter ot a century. There was extensive hand-shaking and congratula tion in every direction. Ihe proceedings had at tracted thousands of persons of both sexes, and hav ing been brought to a close those on the boor, who had been admitted by the favor of the members, and the occupants of the galleries, hastily departed.

The Washington Chronicle furnishes a full ae count of the homicide of Andrew J. Burroughs, a clerk in the Treasury Department, on Monday af ternoon, the 30th uit., by Mary Harris. The jury having been empanelled, consisting of James I.au renson, foremaa ; W. G. Finney, EDward G. Han dy, J as. Crog&on, liosewell Woodward, Han. C. Aduison, Sainuel Cornelius, Joseph E. Davis, Nel son Tneaker, G. E. W. Sharretts, Edward W. Hale and Charles H. Bissell, the case was proceeded with, Ihe Chronicle says: Mr. Burroughs, for eighteen months past, has held the position of a clerk in the office of Comp troller of the Currency, and, at the time of his death, was receiving a salary of $1,600. He was a man of remarkably fine form, and bore every ap pearance of correct habits and exemplary deport ment. The evidence adduced showed thai Mr. Bur roughs occupied a desk in a room on the west range of the Treasury Department, and near the hail or principal passage on the second floor. About mid way in this passage, and by the side of one of the room doors, there is a clock fixed. During several hours of the fatal day, a young female, somewhat prepossessing in figure and general appearance, was noticed sauntering about the hall, but for what pur pose, of course, none could surmise. The hour of four arrived, at which time the clerks close their duties for the day. and in a few minutes thereafter the passage referred to became thronged with the retiring employees. The female stranger then took position in the doorway next to the clock. Mr. Burroughs, apparently full of life and hope, not more than thirty-five years of age, left his room, and when he had passed the clock but two or three feet, the sharp crack of a pistol was heard; he looked around : discovered a female form, exclaim ed "Ohand quickened his pace towards the stair way : but, in less than ten seconds, a second report announced another fire, and another wound. He reached the baluster and'reclined against it, when one of his comrades retnring from below and igno rant of all that had transpired, supposed he was fain ting, inquired "What is the matter?" to which the sinking man r.eplied. "I don't know," He was con veyed to a room nearby, and expired in about fifteen minutes. The young woman. who gave her name as Mary Harris, and whose age is supposed to be about twenty-two years, having fired Wice, and appearing i mfident that the work of death was accomplished, remained, and. evincing no excited feelings, slowly put her pistol in her pocket, and awaited further developments. To Hugh McCullough. Esq.. chief of the Curren cy Bureau, she stated that the deceased had viola ted his marriage engagement with her. He had done her no harm, but was engaged to her for many years, even front her childnood. and had continued a correspondence until within a month of his mar riage. He had not seduced her; and she added, —" vU ' b • 1 mil viiui ous!" Miss Harris was about leaving the department, when Mr. Seogatack, the doorkeeper, desired her ! o remain awhile, which she readily consented to do; aud then Justice Handy came up. arrested her. and committed her to jail for investigation. She told the justice that she had killed Burroughs: and then, taking the pistol out of her pocket, handed it to him. It was a small Sharp's patent, four barrels, two of which were yet loaded, the other two dis charged. Officer George H. Walker conveyed her to the jail in a carriage. On the way she told him that -he asked no sympathy for herself. All the sor row to be felt was for her aged parents. She charged that the deceased had betrayed her, taken her from home and friends, aud placed her in a house of ill fame in Chicago, and that therefore -he had determined upon this deed. For this pur pose she had purchased the pistol in Ghicago, and had arrived here on the morning of yesterday. She gave officer Walker an address asking kimto tele graph the fact to Louis A. Devlin. Janesville, Wis consin, which he did. She also added thathei father resided in Burlington lowa. One of the clerks testified that during the last summer, a young woman, tesembling Miss Harris, called at the room of Mr. Burroughs and inquired for him, when she was informed that he was spending that day in Baltimore with his wife. The person expressed great disappointment at not seeing him. and intimated that she was poor and did not know where she could remain daring that night. Another clerk had a recollection of a similar in quiry at a more subsequent period, when the person calling again failed in seeing Mr. B. The jury rendered the following verdict: That the said deceased left bis room in the Treas- * ury building about 4 o'clock P. M., on the 30th day of January, 1865: and that, while on his way through the hall, he came to his death by a ball fired trom a pistol in the hands of a woman said to be named Mary Harris, said ball taking effect about two inches to the left of the spine, in the region of the fifth rib. It appears that Mr. Burroughs was married, less than a year ago, to an interesting young lady. It is said that the deceased was at one time a member of the Presbyterian church in Chicago.— He had not united with the church since his removal to Washington: The correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer telegraphs : Miss Harais is very young and handsome, with long black curly hair, and of a very prepossessing appearance. There are many conflicting rumors as to the cause of shooting, but all agree as to the point of his hav ing been very intimate with Miss Harris, and hav ing promised her marriage, she visited him once last winter, but he postponed the marriage, aud fi ually married another. She says he refused her the position she had a right to, and but one thing re mained for her. Burroughs has been here about three years, com ing from Illinois, and was a very efficient officer in the currency department. An "intelligent Frenchman'' is about to open a cooking academy in New York, where a course of twenty lessons will turn out professional cooks arm ed with diplomas, to bake, boil, roast and stew. As some workmen were engaged on Friday in the ;> old Indian Queen Hotel, on First street, south Bos ton. the full skeleton of a man was fouml secreted in a panelled closet. The Indian Queen was for merly a celebrated place for fish suppers in the sum mer time. Vol 3H: No. 7
