The Com- ' mittee appointed by Councils, some time since, ■ to confer «pon this subject, was in session last evening with a Committee representing the principal holders of jtho railroad bonds issued by the corporation, and while the basis of compromise is said to be favorable to the city, h is at the same time deemed jast and equit able to the bondholders. We sincerely nope that this matter may now reach a finality, as it willTeliere the city of an immense deal of expense and annoyance, and wipe out a dis agreeable record. Should the bondholders see fit not to meet the city representatives in a liberal spirit, however, pay day maybeindefi nitely postponed, to the loss and inconvenience efboth parties. If they are wise they will not refuse “the bird in hand.” — - - 28 8-10 Desperate Fight in Wirt County, Va. The Wheeling Intelligencer, of Thursday, states that a desperate fight took place a day or two-siuce in Wirt county, betwoon Capt.

The following regulations are established: There shall be appointed by the Secretary of tho Treasury, with the approbation of the Presi dent, agents to reside at such parts or places as may,bo occupied by the forces of the united States, whose duties shall be to secure and prepare for market the cotton and snob other products, and property as may be;, found or brought within the lines of the army or under the’control of the Federal authorities. Persons held to sertico -for life, under Stato laws, who may be found within such limits, may. bo employod by the agent, who will pre sare5 are a list embracing the namos, sex and oon ition of such persons, and os.near m >may bo their respective ages, together witbjttfe name of any person olaiming their services, which lists shall be in triplicate, one for the military commandant, one rorthe files oftho agent and one to bo immediately forwardbd to the Secre tary of the Treasury. The persons so listed will be organized for systematic labor, in se curing and preparing for market the cotton, rice and other products found within the ter ritory brought under federal control. Pay rolls will be prepared and a strict account of the labor daily performed by each person en tered thereon, for which a proper compensa tion shall be allowed and paid to the laborer. A record of all product?' taken | possession of will be made, and those of each; I plantation kept distinct. When prepaid for shipment, the packages from the several plant - j aliens will be plainly marked and numoored, so as to be easily distinguished. An account of all provisions of whatsoever character found on each .plantation will be taken, and such provisions will bo used,as far as may be neces sary, for the subsistence of the laborers thereon. The cotton and other articles, when 1 prepared Jor market, shall be shipped to New York, ana, as far as practicable, by the' 1 re turning goverpigfht transports, and all ship ments shall bo consigned to the designated agent at New York, unless otherwise specially directed by the Treasury. Each agent will so transact his business and keep his accounts, that ah little injury a» -possible may accrue to private citizens who noy maintain, or may within a reasonable time, resume the charac ter of loyal citizens of tho United States. Col. Burnoy's 23d regiment, Philadelphia Zodaves, after their parade to-day, was re ceived by the Prcsiacnt and Secretaries Cam eron and Seward.

He wlll-'proceod immediately South,and procure a similar release of Hon. Alfred Ely. If not sqcpe&sful in that errand, ho hqg p'edgod himsolf to return to custody in thirty days. J i A resolution was, passed by the House last July, inquiring if any and what legislation is necessary To increase and extend the trade and commerce of the United States with foreign countries. Tho President, in response, says he is not aware that any legislation of the character suggested could now be wisely abopted beyond such as has already been re commended in his annual-message, and that nothing farther can be effected until the treat ies to be submitted to the Senate shall hare been ratified. A .question of importance was raised in the joint Unifed States and New Grenadian Com mission, to-day, namely : Whether the latter Republic is liable, under,'the treaty for the. payment of damages ..growing out of the Panama riots, or whothpr the business of the Commission is merely to ascertain the amount of claims for future Jiotiop. Mr.' Carlile, for New grenade, maintained the latter proposi tion, and Messrs. Cox and Dean, of Ohio,. for tho claimants, the former.
