' Another correspondent of the same journal, s ys : , Thaddens Stevens' resolution proscrib ing eleven States ot the Union trom any participation in the affairs of; the. Union tor an indefinite period of time met with vigorous opposition to-day in the Senate upon, the proposition to amend the same as agreed upon in caucus, so as to pre venf Jhei, exclusion of representatives from such Status. Senator Doolittle ar gued that the passage of the resolution would accomplish what the people of '.the el ve late insurgent States, with an immense sacrifice of life had faUed'to J0 to dissolve the Union. The resolu tion was so amended as to leave each HUE DN10M INNER body at any timo to admit members I from any State not now represented. ADMISSION OFSOUTUER? MEMBERS. 'The. Union rh embers of the Senate have held several caucuses on the joint resolution adopted by the House concern ing the admission of members from States lately in rebellion. After a warm discussion, i t was declared this afternoon to strike out the last clause of the re?o- lution, which prohibits action on the credentials of members until -'the. report of he committee shall have been final ly acted on. As dow proposed, there fore, the resolution will simnlv provide for the appointment of a joint commit tee to consider and report upon " the po litical condition of the Southern States. It will also be made a concurrent instead of joint resolution, so it will not require the 1 resident s sanction. It is under stood that both Houses will await the ac tion bfthis committee, find also that this committee will not delay action un seasonably. The Pesident is known to be anxious for the speedy admission of the delegation from, Tennessee, and it is by no means impossibl that a special exception-may be made of- the case of that State. ' ' . There was tacit understanding that all action upon credentials and the admis sion ofSouthern' men 'here is to be de ferred until the committee shall have re ported. The result is deemed satisfac tory bv both the so-called Conserva tives and the so called Hadical Repub licans of the Senate. North Carolina Legislature, SENATE. Tuesday, Dec. 12th, 1S65.

Dec. 14. Official information has been received at the State Department of the rati fication of the anti-slavery amendment by Oregon. i From Washington. Washington, Dec. 14. The Confederate bonds resolution in the Senate was drawn up, I under stand, because of the fact that lias recently trans pired that large purchases 01 these bonds had been made on the supposition that the United States would some day or other assume their payment in full or in part. The basis of this belief, 1 am told, the impression and opinion of influential legal tal ent, that as a receiver of the assets of the Confed eracy the U. S ates is responsible for the liabilities thereof.The Judiciary Committee will consider the resolution at an early day. the impression prevails here that Larl Kussell. when he fully dig'ests Secretary Seward's reply to England's refusal to submit the question of dama ges growing out of the depredations of the anglo- rebel pirate on American commerce to a commis sion appointed jointly by the American and Eng- lsh Governments, he will reconsider his decision, and ask to submit the whole matter to arbitration.
