nothing but &mee t then that State would . = longer exist as an organization, but that has not been the case. It never can be the case in great communities, for they always have Constitutions and forms of merriment that may not be a:constitution or a form of go vernment adtpted to its relation to the go vernment of the United States, and that would be an evil to be remedied by the government of the United States. That is what we have been trying to do for the last four years. The practical rela tions of the governments of these States with the government- of the United States were all wrong, - and were hostile to that government. They denied our jurisdiction. They denied that they were States of the Union; but their denial did not change the fact, and there was never any time when their organizations as States were destroyed. A "dead State" is a solecism; a contradic tion in terms; an impossibility. There are, I confess, rather metaphysical distinctions but I did not reach them: Those who assert that a State is destroyed whenever its coati tution is changed, or whenever its practical - relations with this government are changed must be held responsible fore- hatever me taphysical nieeties may be 7 cessarily in volved in the discussion. . ; .1 Ido not know, sir, that I rive made my - views on this point clear to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr... K ey), who has questioned me upon it, and am still more doubtful whether then, if they are intelligi ble, he will concur with me as to their justice, but I regard these States as. just as truly within the jurisdiction of the Consti tution, and, therefore, just as really and truly States of the American Union, now as they were before the war. Their practical xelations to the government of the United States have been disturbed, and we have been endeavoring, through four years of war, torestore them and to make them what they were before the war. The military in the field-has given us the means of doing this. We can now re-establish the practical re lations of these States to the government. Our actual jurisdiction over them, which they vainly attempted to throw off, is already restored. The conquest we have achieved is a conquest "over, the rebellion, not -a conquest over the States, whose authority the rebellion had; for the time, aubverted. For these reasons I think the views submitted by the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Stevens) upon this point are unsound. Let me next cite some of the consequences 'Which it seems to me must follow the acceptance of his position. If, as he asserts, - we have been waging war with an indepen dent power with a separate nation, I cannot see how we can talk of treason in connection with our recent conflict, or demand the exe cutionsof Davis,or anybody else,as a traitor. Certainly, if we were at war with any other foreign Power, we should never talk of the treason of those who were opposed to us in the field. If we were in war with Prance, and should take as prisoner the .Emperor Napoleon, certainly we could not talk of him as a traitor, or as liable to exe cution. I think that by adopting any such as sumption as that of the honorable gentle man we surrender the whole idea of treason and the puniqbment of traitors. I think, moreover, that we accept virtually and practically the doctrine of State sovereignty —the right of a State to withdraw from the Union and to break trp the Union at its will and pleasure. I do not see how, upon these premises, we can escape the conclu sion. If the States, that engaged in the late rebellion constituted themselves by their ordinance of secession, or by any of these acts with which they followed those ordi nances, a separate and independent power, I don't see how we can deny the principles on which they professed to act, or refuse assent to their practical results. I have heard no clearer, no stronger state ment of the doctrine,of State sovereignty as paramount to the sovereignty of the nation than would be involved in such a concession. Whether he intends it or not, the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Stevens) actually assents to the extreme doctrines of the ad vocates of secession. Mr. Niblack (Ind.)—l beg to inquire of the gentleman whether the theory of the gentleman front Pennsylvania, which he is combating, would not, also, •if carried to its legitimate consequences, make those who resisted the confederacy in the insur rectionary States guilty of treason to the confederacy of these States? Mr. Raymond—l was just going to re mark that another of the consequences of this doctrine, as it seems to me, would be our inability to talk of loyal men in the South, Loyal to what? Loyal to a foreign independent Power, as the United States - would become under those circumstances? Certainly not. Simply disloyal to their own government, and deserters, or what you may choose to call them, from that to which they would owe allegiance to a foreign and independent State. Now, there is another consequence of the doctrine, which I shall not dwell upon, but simply suggest. If that Confederacy was an independent power, a separate nation, it had the right to contract debts, and we, hav ing overthrown , and conquered that inde pendent Power, according to the theory of the gentleman from Pennsylvania we would bacome the successors, the inheritors of i eidbta and assets. We must pay them. S' , this is not simply a theory or a claim thro out in debate. It is one advanftd on behalf of the Government of Great Britain as against us. Mr. Raymond was here interrupted by Mr. Jenckes (R. I.), with whom he had a long colloquy on this point. Mr. Raymond then proceeded—Now, sir, I have dwelt upon these points longer than I intended. Ido not think that the doctrine I have been combating is held by any num ber of the people of this country, or, indeed, by any considerable number of the members of this House. I certainly do not think these States are to be dealt with by us as provinces—as simply so much territory held to us by no other ties than those of conquest. I think we are to deal with them as States, having State governments, still subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, still 'under the constitutional control of the Na tional government; and that in -our deal ings with them we are to be guided and governed, not simply by our sovereign will and pleasure as conquerors, but by the re storations and limitations of the Constitution of thellnited States, necessarily, as we are restrained and limited in our dealings with all other States of the American Union. In answer to an inquiry, Mr. Raymond said, I do not think the treason of Jeff. Davis has anything to do with the humane treatment to our prisoners of war. I merely alluded to the matter. I might have elabo rated it when I said that because we had granted to these StatesVas a Power waging war, the rights uinall accorded to nations at wa , we. were not ierefore precluded - fr o : .. i seeding against tthhem as traitors: 1"k0, 4 - &ion of the Supreme Court to w. • .., P IaVSI once referred, if I have under st(id aright, asserts that we have the rightto proceed against them as traitors, or, raffia. ' that w 4. had the right to exercise against them bdth the powers of sovereignty and of belligerents; that the one did not exclude the other. Now if; according to the view I have pre sented, we are to deal with these States, as States within the Union, the-next question that recurs is, how are we to deal with them? The gentleman from Ohio (Ur. Finek), who preceded me, took the ground that, they had only , to resume their places And their powers in the national govern nientthat their representatives have only to come into-this hail.iand take their, seats without question and without conditions of sny sort. I:'cannot concur, sir, in this view.' I - do not think these States haveany Ouch rights. On the contrary, I:think we I'ITE -FITENING- have a full and perfect right to require car tain conditions, in the nature of guarantelf§ for the future,and that right rests primarily and technically on the surrender we may and must require at their hand. The rebellion has been defeated. A defeat always implies a surrender, and,in a politi cal sense, a surrender implies more than a transfer of the arms used on the field of battle. It implies, in the case of civil war,' a surrender of the principles and doctrines, of all the weapons and agencies by wbich the war has been carried on. The military surrender was made on the field of battle to our generals,as the representatives of the commander in chief of the armies of the United States. But this is not all. They have still to surrender. Mr. Raymond, in response to an inquiry, said: well, if it- seems important to the gentleman from Rhode Island, or to any body else, lam quite willing to make the addition to my remarks which he suggests, I will say, then, that in surrendering on the field of battle they surrendered to the generals who were in command of the armies, as agents of the President of the United himself, the agent and repre sentatives of the American people. If that explanation is satisfactory to the gentle man lam very happy to malie it, and per haps I am obliged to him for having enabled me to state it a little more specifically and accurately than I did , at first. Now there must beat the end of the war a similar sur render of the political field of controversy. That surrender is due as an act of justice from the defeated party to, the victomious party. It is due, also, and we have a right to exact it asaguaranty for the future. Why do we denitihd the surrender of their arias by the vanquished in every battle? We do it that they may not reneW the contest. Why do we seek, on their fall, a similar surrender of the principles on which they fought? It is that they may never again - be made the basis of controversy and rebel lion against the Government pf the United States. Now, what are the principles which should thus be surrendered? The principle of State solvereighty is one of them. It was the corner stone of the rebellion, at once its animating spirit and its fundamental basis. Deeply ingrained as it was in the Southern heart, it must be surrendered. The ordi nances in which it was embodied mast not only bpe repealed—the principle itself must be abandoned, and the ordinanoe; so far as this war is concerned, be declared null and void; and that declaration must be embo died in their fundamental constitutions. We have a right to insist upon this, and it must kle apparent that so far as that prin cipleis concerned this war was aperma nent success. • • Mr. Bingham (Ohio)—The gentleman will allow me to make the inquiry whether, if that were done to-day by South Carolina, and the people of that insurgent State re stored to all their powers in this Union, they could not blot it out to-morrow by every construction that has ever been given to the operation of the Constitution of the United States upon any State maintaining its relations to this government? What guaranty would that be? [An interesting colloquy occurred be tween Messrs. Raymond and Bingham,and between Mr. Jenckes and Mr. Raymond, a report of which is omitted from want of room.] Mr. Raymond said, in conclusion, I can not assent to the intimation thrown out by the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Stevens), that the President concurred in the views he had expressed, or that he had handed the whole subject of pacifying the States lately in rebellion, and of restoring the States to the practical exercise of their functions as members of the Union, to the hands of Congress. I can find no warrant in his message for believing that he designs thus to abandon duties which are evidently in his judgment devolved upon him as Executive in the government, and as com mander-in-chief of the armies of the United States. - \.On the contrary, I find him repeating in clear and explicit language the steps he has taken to restore the rightful energy of the general government and the States. "To that end, Provisional Governors," he says "have been appointed for the States, con ventions called,Governors elected, Legisla tures assembld and Senators and Repre sentatives chosen to the Congress of the United States; at the same time the Courts of the United States, as far as could be done, have been reopened, so that the laws of the United States may be enforced through their agency. "The blockade has been relieved and the custom-houses re-established in ports or entry, so that the revenue of the United States may be collected. The post-office department renews its ceaseless activity, and the general government is thereby en abled to communicate promptly with its officers and agents. The Courts bring se curity to persons and property. The open ing of the Torts involves the restoration of industry and commerce. The post-office renews the facilities of social intercourse and of business." He has exercised his power of pardon. He has invited the States lately in rebellion to participate in the ratification of the43on stitutional amendment securing the per petnal prohibition of slavery. This done, he says it will remain for the States whose powers have been so long in abeyance to re sume their places in the two branches of the ational legislature, and thereby complete he work of restoration. "Here it is for you, fellow-citizens of the Senate and ,House of Representatives; to judge, each of you for yourselves, of the elec. tions,returna and qualifications of your own members." All but this has been' done in the exercise of his functions,and in the per formance of his duties as President of the United States, and as commander-In-chief of their armies. The admission of members of Codgress, and the restoration of the Judi cial branch of the civil authority of the gov ernment, are necessarily referred to the de liberations and action of Congress. Mr. Chairman—l am here to act with those who seek to complete the restoration of the Union; as I have acted with those through the last four years who have sought to main tain its integrity and prevent its destruction, I shall say no word, and do no act, and give no,vote to recognize its division, or to post pone or disturb its rapidly approaching harmony and peace. I have no right and no disposition to lay down rules by which others shall govern and guide their conduct. Now, for myself, I shall endeavor to aet upon this whole question in the broad and liberal temper which its importance de mands. E We are not conducting a controversy in a court of law. We are not seeking to en force a remedy for private wrongs nor to revenge or retaliate private grief. *e have great communities of men, permanent in terests of great States, to. deal with, and we are bound to deal with them in a large and liberal spirit. It may be for the welfare of this nation that we shall cherish towards the millions of our people lately in rebellion feelings of hatred and distrust; that we shall nurselhe bitterness their infamous treason has naturally and justly engendered, and make that the basis of our future dealings with them. Possibly we may best teach them the lessons of liberty by inflicting upon, them the worst excess of despotism. ;Possibly they may best learn to practise justice towards others, to admire and emu late our republican institutions, by suffer; ing at our hands the absolute rule we de nounce in,others. It may d, be best for us and for for them that we discard, in all our dealings with them, all obligations and requirements of the Constitution, and assert as the only, law on them theunrestrained will o,f con querors and masters. I confess do nit synipathizo with the lILLATIN : PHI sentiments or the opinions which would dic tate such a:course. I- would exact at . their g i. hands all needed, and just guarantees for their finure loyalty the Constitution and the.lawki of the Um - States. I would exact from them, or i peso upon them, through the constitutional legislation of Congreas, or by enlarging and extending, if necessary, the scope and power of the greed men's Bureau for the proper care and pro tection for the helpless and friendless freed men so lately their slaves. I would exercise a rigid scrutiny , into the character and loyalty of the men whom they may send to Congress before-I allowed them to participate in the high prerogatives of legislating for the nation. But I would seek to allay rather than stimulate the animosi ties and hatreds, however just they may be, to which the war has given rise, both for our own sake as well as for theirs. I would not visit upon them a policy of confiscation, which has been discarded in the policy and practical conduct of -every civilized nation on the face of the globe. • I believe it important for us, as well as for them, that we should cultivate friendly relations with them ; 'that we should seek the proniotion of their interests, as part and parcel 'of our own. We have been their enemies in war—in peace let us show our selves their friends. Now that slavery has been destroyed, that prolific source of all our alienations, all our hates and all our disasters, there is nothing longer to make us foes. They have the same interests, the same hopes, the same aspirations that we have. They are one with us. We mast share their sufferings, and they will share our advancing prosperity. They have been punished as no community was ever pun ished before for the treason they have com mitted. I trust, sir, the day will come ere long when all traces of this great conflict will be effaced, except those which mark the bles sings that follow in its train. I hope and believe we shall soon see the day when the people of the Southern States will:show us, by evidences that we cannot mistake, that they have returned in all sincerity and good faith to their allegiance to the Union; that they intend to join henceforth with us' in promoting its prosperity, in defending the banner of glory, and in lighting the battles of democracy and freedom not only here, but wherever the issue may be forced upon our acceptance. I rejoice with heartfelt satisfaction tha t we have in these seats of power in the Exec utive department, and in these halls of Con gress, men who will co-operate for the at tainment of these great and beneficent ends. I trust they will act with wisdom. I know they will act from no other motives than those of patriotism.and lave of their fellow men. Mr. Jenck es (R, I.) made a few remarks to show the law and the facts in the case,and concluded by saying that for one he would do his duty, but did not wish to be com promised by the speeches which had been delivered by the gentlemen 'from Pennsyl vania and liew York, or any other State, when there was no practical question before the House for its consideration. . The committee rose, when the resolutions referring the President's message to the ap propriate committees were passed. M. Banks, from the Committee on For eign Affairs, reported a resolution accepting the invitation of the French government to be represented at the Exposition at Paris in 1867, approving what has already been done by the Secretary of State on the sub ject and providing for the appointment of clerks in connection with the commission. It wps passed. Mr. Myers ( Pa.) introduced a bill appro priating V 03,000 for the payment of soldiers called out by Pennsylvania to repel the rebel invasion of the State in 1863. It was referred to the Committee on Appropria tions. At a subsequent stage of the proceedings Mr. Schenck Ohio) moved to reconsider the subject of reference, desiring it to go to the Committee on Claims. Pending the question, the Hodse, in pur suance of the joint resolution, adjourned over until the sth of January next.

PROSPECTUS OF THE CARSON GOLD, MINING COMPANY, NORTH CAROLINA. The Land of this Company consists of 120 ACIREdt in Meckienberg county, North Carolina. 35z miles from the town of Charlotte, onp branch of Sugar Creek, which stream furnishes gook water power for grinding the ores. This Mine was first opened in MS by a man named Carson. who worked it successfully for a num ber of years. He died In the town of Gharlotte, in 1546, worth over half a million dollars. Two shaftshave been sunk on this property, one of them 80 feet, the other 60 feet, on different veins, averaging from two to three feet in thickness, which veins still continue on down increasing in width mad richness. These shafts are in good order, and ore can e readily taken out at any time. Other veins have been discovered on this property, and tested and proved to be very rich in gold. The ores of this mine are known as the brown ore, and yery rich, yielding readily 810 per bushel. This is believed to be one of the best and most certain mines in ' i the State, on account of the abundance and quality of the ore, and ease in which it is obtained and reduced. This property has been worked by Major Z. A, Grier from 1840 to the breaking out of the war. This Company have purchased this property, and intend to erect machinery and put the mines in immediate operation. The mealy advantages of this mine over the mines of Colorado and Nevada can hardly be estimated. It is more readily reached, and has abundance of fuel, with cheap labor. It can be worked all the year, and not, as In the case of Colo redo and Nevada, be compelled to lie idle for three or four months in consequence of the severity of the winter. This mine having been worked ,for a long time, proved to be a rich paying one. We do not, therefore. have to incur the risk there is in an undeveloped pro perty. but can count on large and Immediate returns on the investments. Having an ore that readily yields $lO per bushel, some estimate can be made of the value of this property. With the present imperfect system of mining in this locality, and absence of pro per machinery, ten tons of this ore can be tak„en out daily from every shaft opened. Estimating, say 15 bushels to the ton, the daily yield will be $1,500 from one shaft, allowing $3OO perday for expenses. The net product will be $1,300 per day; countlig 300 working days to the year, the yearly proceeds will be $380,000, which yield can be largely increased by extending the works. This is considered a very low estimate of the capacity of this mine by experienced miners of that locality. The Assayer of the United States Mint at Charlotte, in speaking of this property, says it has few equals in productiveness in that country, and with proper management and machinery the above pro duct can be doubled.
