The ;., ' 'army of President Prado, quartered . in Com i ite"' ' m fortable houses, supplied wit err provisions t d ewed fruits of one of the most le valleys of l e;l'fferu, and thoroughly imbued with enthusias tic confidence in success, is quietly waiting , upon "its arms ' for the convenient moment to ',.‘,• arrive for assaulting and entering the revoiu .- i: ,14 - inary city Occasionally a few of the guns ; .y 4 > open upen the town and throw shells among „.e -::':' the buildings occupied by the insurgents; but _ V' 2 ;,'• as a general thing all is quiet. ece . ,Night before last we had something of a stilton in Tingo, a village about two miles A ppti ee •4( ''. om Arequipa, caused by a visit from the e - insurgents. Tinge, it will be recollected by t . ' those who have read my previous letters from L . $. °this place, is a small watering place, some ;. e.l t' 1 what celebrated its baths.

' .W o Ottogieeree e et . i.si the o ffi cers of president etanire in the habit of visiting the AloreigisZielidetiiiiters," the insurgents con ' ceived the idea Of surprising and capturing some Of them. On the night referred to, just as we had concluded dinner and were dis- Cussing the situation over our wine and cigars, an armed party rushed into the court-yard, . , occupied the door, and sent two soldiers into the house to capture whatever contraband in dividuals there might be. Sitting with us at the table was the principal engineer of President Prado; but being in citizen's dress the in surgents did not recognize him, although he is himself a resident of . Arequipa. After a brief inspection of the apartments the revolu tionists left, and seizing a few prominent in dividuals, friends of the national government, returned to the city. The family of the Pe ruvian Minister of War resides a few doors from the "foreign headquarters," and was passing the entrance to the court-yard when the insurgents rushed in. The latter rudely jostled the lady and her escort, but did not recognize - her, and she passed in without 4- , 1 further molestation. It is a matter of stir , e •• prise that the revolutionists have not inter fered with the line of commenication be e e 2., 4ween Arequipa and Islay, President Pratio's - ~l• te „, base of supplies. The whole route is un eeeee'r guarded, and the failure of the enemy to send e:' - ir:.l e Out raiding . , parties to capture trains of sup plies, &c., is strong proof of their weakness, glad_ the necessity of husbanding all their - f .1 . . eitteength within the city. i 1 . .; ..,; ..

The appearance -- • • of the place is excessively gloomy. No one ,- • ye is seen in the streets except an occasional barricades is the only sound to be heard. A 4 : e,., , ;kw small shops are open, but all the wealthy 7 - ' families -have left, and closed doors and barred windows cause the place to appear as .. . e s., if a` lague was devastating the city. The le!" . resources of the revolutionists are daily be •tr ; coming more straitened. The insurgents 'me that defend the barricades have orders not to t, ! 1 , G,/, , fife except in case of attack, and the known scarcity of caps for the muskets will probably 1 .1 force a surrender of itself if the assault is a e. e protracted one. The principal want of the 4' ".. ' insurgents is that of money. Already ex- s ex treme measures have been adopted to obtain funds, and several parties have been imprisoned t' . . 'Until they paid $4OO or $5OO ransom motley. A xneniber of one commercial house upon which the,Government had drawn a draft, for $4,000, eiv Jpayable to General Bustamente, was seized '>,.;• 'by the raiding party that visited Tingo,carried e.. 4 to Arequipa and placed in irons, where he i'D vas • kept until $4,000 was paid to the revo eatr . latibintrY. authorities.

BEADQuARTEIIii PER - UN - JAN ARMY, ARE- December 14th, 14367.---,This morning President Prado sent a flag of truce into the besieged city, conveying his ultimatum to the revolutionists. The officer bearing the mes sage returned in a few hours, bringing with him the communication unopened, and the reply from the insurgents that the document, was not properly addressed. A short time afterwards the following was issued from the headquarters of President Prado: AREQUIPA, Dec. 14, 1861.--Bulletin of the Arin,y.—His Excellency the ?resident of the republic, before attacking the plaza oc cupied by the rebels, has undertaken, though fruitlessly, a method for putting an end to the contest without the effusion of blood. For this purpose he commissioned Lieutenant- Colonel D. Baltazar La Torre to enter the enemy's camp, and to put in the hands of the chief Illthe lerces of the place the following communication: REPUBLIC OF PERU. The President of the republic, charged with the chief command of the army and na . t y: Aanorien, Dec. 14, 1867.—T0 Senor D. Pedro bier Canseco, Chief of the forces of the Plaza of Arequipa:—Sr:ion—My duty 'as the Chief of State.obliges me to attack the rebel forces shut up in this city, employ ing for the accomplishment of that purpose all the measures that I am able to adopt, and the elements which the nation has put in my bands for the defence of her institutions until the rebels return to order. But before arriv ing at such an extremity, in obedience to a sentiment of humsnity, and desiring to avoid the effusion of fraternal blood and the havoc which the population must suffer in case of attack, I have considered it convenient to propose to you an amnesty for all who were compromised in the revolution, to the end that they may lay down their arms and restore the city to the authority of the government. If this is not accepted I shall allow three days of glace for peaceful and inoffenSive pei sons to leave the city, advising you that during this time I will not employ any hos tility unless it is provoked, but that after said time 1 shall attack the city; without further notice, the day or hour I may deem op portune. I also advise you that during the combat I will respect as much as possible the public edifices, and most especially the churches, provided that forces are not placed in them to oppose me. Cod keep you. lltlaninNo loNacto Pnnoo. Lieutenant-Colonel La Torre passed to the other side of the river, and was conducted into the presence of the so-called "Secretary- Generttl" of the government of the rebellion, Dr. D. Juan Manuel .Polar, who, after learn ing The object of the mission of Colonel La Terre, staid that the communication could not be received because it did not address the chief of the rebels by the title belonging to the Chief of State, and that this obstacle was insuperable. Passion blinds the rebels to the extent that they put their vanity before the lives and property of the people of Arequipa. The commission was obliged to retire. Under these circumstances, and to avoid evils of which it was intended to giye notice, the communication is published by order of his ; Excellency, in order that its contents may come to the knowledge of all. Quite a sensation has been produced by this event, and it is believed that an attack ; v ill be made at an early date, probably ha- rnediately after the expiration of the period given for the removal of non-combatants Irom the city. The revolutionists are appre lending a bombardment inomentarily, and tue stiengthening their barricades. I shall endeavor to enter the besieged city again to .morrow, for the purpose of witnessing the last prt-parations for defence; but as it is now Laztitti,;us to communicate personally with the ly•siegeti, 1 may not reach the interior of the town, us, once inside, I may not be able to get out again immediately. - Ise Foreign Consuls Officially Noti tied of the Intended Bombardment— ft mice Given to I'il3llloVo n on-combat ants from the City—lhe ?liege About to Close.

Ga., January 9.--The committee ap pointed to wait on General Mestle reported that the General assured the'Conven ion he would use all the powers conferred upon him by the reconstruction acts for a speedy restoration ot' Georgia to all her rights in the 1.7n10n. On the question of the authority of members to bold Beats, the Convention adopted a resolution that tL proclamation of General Pope is conclusive as to the votes, list of ,votta's, election returns and persons elected. The itellef Committee reporti-d an ordinance to for ever forbid legal action on any contract of date prior to June 1, 1665. . A resolution was adopted appointing a comailttee of one delegate from each Congressional district in the State, to prepare, a list of persons, in whose behalf Congress ehould be petitioned by the Convention, to remove the disabilities imposed' by acts of Con %Tess. Ordinances were introduced to give the suffrage to all male citizens who can rend the Constitution of the "United States, and have paid their taxes., and to give equal rights, irrespective of color, to all in public places and conveyances.

The financial agent of the Convention reported that General Meade had handed him in writing the follow ing: General Meade desires Dr. Anzier to say to the Convention that he is clearly of the opinion that they are entitled to draw their pay and incidental expenses from the State Treasury, and that he will endeavor as soon as possible, to remove the obstacles now exist ing to their being paid. XLth CONGRESS.-OECOND SESSION. CONCLUSION OF YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. Seqate. On motion of Mr Moivr,m, of Indiana, the Senate took up his ree.dution to instruct the Judiciary Com mittee to report and to abrogate existing State governments in the sleuth, and provide provisional governments in their wend. Mr. FRELINORITYSEN, of New Jersey, moved to amend by referring to the Judiciary Committee, with authority to report such bill. Mr. MORTON urged the necessity of such legislation in view of General Hancock's course, and other recent occurrences._ . Not only had General Hancock, he continued, de fied the authority of Congress, but he had nallitledits action and abjured the military authority created by the reconstruction acts, denying the power of Congress to confer it; stigmatizing it as arbitrary, as not found in the laws of Loweiana or Texas, and as not derived from any act, of Congress. In this distinct recogal- F tlon of the right of those State governments, in de 'llance of the declaration of Congress that they are illegal and unauthorized, he had directly cdnfrouted Congress, and It became an important question which should submit With" Ibis, military authority against 'Congress, recognizing governments it was appointed to super sede, end with the civil authori , les also against them, it was certain that they must fill. In this crisis he saw no recourse for Congress but to be cOnsistent with its original declaratios, that these governments are illegal and unauthorized, to declare that they shall be at once abrogated, and exercise no further power whatever, and upon that he desired to have the voice of the Senate. The morning hour expired at this pbint, and the Tnearornix announced the special order. - Mr. Sunsunz. •of Massachusetts, urged that the Senator bo allowed to proceed, and no objection being made, Mr. MORTON continued., saying that if this amend ment was adopted the resolution would have no sig nificance, whereas, If the committee were instructed to report such a bill, it could still be voted down or modified. Bet the adoption of the tesohylon would settle onc question: tleit the Senate of the linit.et bites is reeolved at once to abrogite the present ❑.e teal end ueunrborir.Axl governments In those, Sta es; and establish such provhdonullgoverninehtSati may Ile net:- testily tint!' recoostruptien shall tin Ally (Ake place.

It may be in the form of a question. • Mr. LOGAN • Pat it in the form of a question, and I will answer It. Mr. RuintroE —I merely wished to call the atten tion of the gentleman to what Mr. Rollins says. The question was put to hie), "Have you ever, in a single instance, rej,resented to the President that any incum bent of the revenue service was dishonest and cor rupt and ought to be removed?" And to that Mr. Rollins sinners, "I have not; it is not the practice of the head of a bureau td communicate with the Presi dent." Further on he says-- Mr. LOGAN (interrupting)--I do not yield to hear the evidence of the Impeachment Committee read. I read it all myself, and I was disgusted with it. [Laughter.] Not with the evidence particularly,• but with the results. [Laughter.] Eminiimis—One single word. Mr. Rollins named six persons as guilty of fraud, and who ought to hate been removed; and the qm stion was put to him. Did yon name persons as their successors? An swer-- I did not. Question--Were these officers Re publicans or Democrats? Answm—l have no means of knowing with certainty their political opinions; they were nearly all appointed by Mr. Lincoln; they were generally reiluted as Conservatives; I cannot say whether they were all so or not. Mr. Loosx, of Illinois--I decline to have any ques tion put to me through Mr. Rollins -If you have any question to put, put it directly to myself and I will an swer it. Mr. Sumrnor--The gentlen an from Illinois holds the floor, and I must do as he says. I will, then, ask him if his opinion it; that the' law recently passed, which prevents the President from removing an officer without the convent of the Senate, Ms had a tendency to continuo these fraudulent officers in office, and to produce precisely the state of things which the gen tleman has been describing? Mr. Rollins says it has. Mr. Locims--The gentleman's ()Mnion is very simple, iind I can answer it. The majority of these officers to day, who are charged with these frauds, are, nine out of ten, not officers whoee appointment c imes before the Senate for confirmation. Mr. .RANDALL--Will the gentleman from Illinois '(Mr. ogan) allow me to state my experience in con nection with that subject? Mr.Looex-I do not want the gentleman's experience: I have bad the experience of men who know a great deal mere than he does about it. [Laughter.] Mr. MANDLLL, of Pennsylvania--I only wanted to state that I was asked by a grave Senator to make a bargain on that veto subject Mr. Emaninoz--I understood the gentleman from Illinois to propose that we should go to the President and ask the removal of officers appointed within the last fourteen months If that bargain Is to bej made. I whit It to include all the appointees, so that will get rid of all the trawl:dent officers, because Mr Rollins tells us that many ot tho apPoiliteu of Mr. Lincoln were dishonest men. Mr. Locus—Very well; I agree to that. I agree to make a clean sweep of it all the way through. It might be of advantage to Mr Johnson, and Lam sure it would help the revenues of tnecoantry a_great deal.

His colleague (Mr. Logan) bad proposed one plan.

[Laughter.] In conclusion, Mr. hl fireball expressed the opinion that with a tax of 62 a eallon the revenue on whisky could never be ca ll c . ed, and that the best course would be to reduce tie tax to one-fourth of what it now is. Mr. PILE. of Missouri, obtained the floor and re. fated to the Howe some, instances within hialtnowl edge, of erroneous frauds perpetrated by government contractors and employes belonging to the Democratic party. Mr. MAr...ticam., replied, the charges against the Democratic party of disloyalty to the coun try are old and stale, and worn out; they were originally untrue, and were known to be untrue by the men who originated and circulated them; they never Lid any foundation. The Democrats of the country were as'loyal and true to the governor , nt as any por - - nof the people, and the people throughout the muntry know that these charges are false. [Laughter on the Republican side.) The people are going at the polls, to brand them as false. As VlDeniocratggetting ec , nu acts under Mr. Lincoln, it is well knowen that any man who dared to proclaim himself in opposition to the Lincoln administration, during the entire war, instead of getting fat contracts. was immediately im mersed within some of the bastiles of the party in power. They had no office and no bearing under that administration, and the idea of charging on the Demo cfatic party the stealings that occurred under Mr. Lin coln, is (me of the greatest shams that can be iMag . ned. It is impossible for any intelligent person to believe it for a moment. Finally, Mr. Scirancn. moved the previous question, , . thus . puit Mg an end to an animated - and exciting dis cussion, with which both members and spectators seemed to be highly interested and amused. The joint resolution went over until to-morrow.
