In the Senate the members have occupied the day in debating whether negroes shall be a:- lowed to give testimony in the courts of ‘Ten messee. No resnit was attained, and the dis meric will probably be prolonged indefi- Ditely. Major General Honston has arrived here. It is reported that he will soon me the duties of commandant of the district of Middle Ten- nessee General Fisk, Superintendent of the Freed- men’s Burean, announces that after the passage of bills by different States protecting in courts negroes, he will abolish in his department ull matters connected with the civil status uf the negroes. From Mexice—Rep oS lie: New York, Oct. i9.—It is stated on what is alleged as official authority from the city of Mexico to October 1 that General Allaterre did not defeat the Austrians, the latter being seve- ral hundred miles from where Allatorre was located at last advices. The latter was repre- sented by Mexican and Cuban papers as en- gnged ineapturing the city of Miselanta, and as having roasted alive & portion of its inhabi- tants. All the ground occupied by the Juarez forces in Oajaca is a mountain pass, and they are not in possession of any stronghold, city, town or fortified position in any ab of Mexico, and the only forces the Republicans have now are several bands of guerrillas, amounting to several thousand in all, and they are roving all over the country.

Shirt—Ye Ven- is Life Insured—Ye Nu of Ball Ran Train Stop- hh to Wood Up—Ye Councilmen at ye Spotswood. (Editorial Correspondence of the Star.) Srorswoop Hovsz, RichMonp, Va, Oct, 17, 1965.—The Corporation Excarsion party to Richmond, via Gordonsville, left Maryland avenue station at7 o'clock this morning, in a special car. Aldermen Thomas E. Lioyd, Can- field, Gulick, Turton, and Noyes; Councilmen Wright, Edmonston, Hamilton, and Anderson; Mayor's Clerk Kiopfer; Mr. Hepburn, of the Collector's office; Mr. Proctor, of the Chronicle; Charles Wilson, Esq.; Mr. Barbour, of the firm of Barbour & Semmes, and a few others, were of the party. Messrs. A. Lloyd and Fer- guson, of the city’s delegation, overslept them- selves, and arrived just too late for the train: a warning against late rising. The special car was a handsome one, and had been freshly painted for the occasion. The platform rods were painted black. If any of the crowd go home with biack paint on their hands, their wives will know how it happened. It was distinctly understood that no jJevity should be indulg-a in on that special car; consequently none “*. A strict search was instituted for or flasks tat might haye been smug- “rd inducing hilarity. To the credit of the party not a drop was found; but in the vigilance with which the search was pushed some mistakes unavoidably happened. Mr. Edmonston lost his clean shirt. Indulging in a harmless desire to appear well in the eyes gf Righmond’s fair dameels, Mr. E.bad brought Suirt WiWy te up Caeeauuny newspaper. Elijah looked high and low for his clean shirt, but it was not to be found. Much sympathy was expressed for Mr. E. in the loss of his clean shirt. Apples were show- ered upon him and he was plied with sand- wiches. When therunner for the “Providence Life Insurance Company” came through the cars the company gnade up a ten cent subscrip- tion to insure Elijah’s life for twelve hours in the sum of $3,000 if killed and $15 per week if permanently disabled by railway accident, This was felt to be due to the venerable tather of two tender babes, and who had lost his clean shirt Those who had left no such pledges to fortune behind felt that they could be gener- ous; Tom Lloyd headed the subscription. By the time all these preliminaries had been arranged the train had sped on across sul- Jen Bull Run and was climbing the heayy grade to the plains of Manassas. Nature has been busy covering up the traces of war, and has already obliterated almest every sign of conflict upon this renowned fieid. The forti- fications at Manassas Junction have cru nbled already to the merest semblance of a defined outline; the myriad graves at Bristow, where the rebel dead were buried in their tracks, are now level with the sod; she thickets of Oatlett’s Station, the haunts of guerrillas and the secure hiding place of rebel flanking armies are now cleaned up root and branch; and the timbers of the long line of block-houses and stockades from Burke's Station to the Rapidan have been con verted—notexactly into praning-hooks and plough-shares—but into as peaceful an equiya- lent—railroad ties. The country from Alexandria to Culpeper Court House may be designated as a desert— houseless, fenceless, treeless, and with scarce a sign of life or useful vegetation. It is one wide waste of chocolate-colored soil and scrub growth. From the railroad near Culpeper may be seen the ruins of the pleasantly situated Culpeper residence of Mr. W. D. Wallach. Not only is every vestige of house and farm build- ing upon this property swept away, but also the fine old trees, the growth of centuries. Pas- sing on towards Orange Court House we get more out of the track of war's desolations; houses, forests, and fenges haye suffered less, and new houses and new fenees fill the places of those destroyed. We reached Gordonsyille at 12.15 p. m., or im a little over five hours from Washington. At Gordonsville our special car was attached to the Richmond train going down the Vir- ginia Central road, while the train to which we Were lately attached went on to Lynchburg. Quite a force of men are at work upon the Orange and Alexandria road, endeavoring to get it into fair condition before the frosts of winter setin. The work of relaying it was rather hastily done ‘by Government, and the company will be obliged to mainly rebuild it. Ithas been well ballasted fora considerable portion of the way. While waiting at Gordonsville some of our party encountered Dr. Cornelius Boyle, for- merly of Washington, He expressed a strong desire to visit Washington, and said the con- dition of his paroté was thathe shoutd not pass beyond Gordonsville... He was told by our party that even if the Government nad not in- terdicted bis going to Washington he would misrepresented in regard to his treatment of the Washington nurses. He had been ine formed that a.gang were coming out ‘Washington te robthe dead and wounded on the battle field, and when he found such men as Bob Cross and Wrangy Jones amongst the |. y itwastrue. He said he dif dec'ine to take such men as Bob Cross and Wrangy Jones by the hand, andbe would do the same a’ any time, but he had al treated Union officers and soldiers kindly. On being reminded that there were respectable Washingtonians— known by him to’be such—amongst the vol- unteer nurses so roughly treated, he answered. that he spoke harshly to them because they were found in such company &s Cross aid Jones. Boyle would scarcely be recognimed by his Most intimate acquaintances of old,eo much hashe changed in appearance, having fallen off in flesh, being roughly clad, and looking broken and troubled. Boyle, though a terribly bitter partisan, had many good qualities. He was frank, straight. out, courageous and generous, and none who knew him at his best could fail to regret to see him fall a victim to the craze of secession. The Central Road we find in fair running condition, and the ride over it to Richmond was a pleasant one. Much of the way the country seems quite unscathed by war The main indication is in the pancity of popula- tion, and expecially of male whites. We see many abundant crops of corn and of sorghum, and nota few patches of cotton. The prim- itive practice of using wood instead of coal is kept up on the Central Read, probably from the abundance and cheapness of the former, and every now and then we stopped to “wood up” on the way.§ The extensive forests through which we continuously passed showed how richly wooded Virginia is yet, wherever her territory has not been mowed by war. We are now—5& p. m.—snugly located at the Spotswood Hotel. To-night ye Council- men willsee Richmond by gas-light, and to- morrow will inspect it by daylight. C.S.N if SEP THE WASHINGTONIANS IN RICH- MOND. They see the Lions—Richmond Markets and Streets—The «-Berat District.’ {Editorial Correspondence of The Star.) Srorswoop Hore., RiosMonp, Va., Oct. 14, 1865.—The Washington Corporation visitors to Richmond are two-day the recipients of many civilities from eitizens andothers. The officers of Harnden’s Express in Richmond furnished conveyances, with excellent teams of horses, an abundance of creature comforts, &c., and took the party the rounds of the various ob- jects ef interest in and about Richmond, through the «burnt district,” Libby Prison, Castle Thunder, Jeff. Davis’ residence, State House, (ex-Confed. capitol.) Belle Isle, The Rocketts, and out along the line of the famous defences of Richmond. A storm of rain in the afternoon interfered with the full execution of the interesting programme marked out by our liberal entertainers. Invitations have been received from the man- agers of the yarious places of amusement in Richmond to yisit their establishments, and our party have also to acknowledge an in- finity of courtesies from citizens of Washing- ton now doing business in Richmond. As President Daniel of the Richmond, Frea- ericksburg and Potomac Railroad Company has invited the party to return by that route, itis probable that most of them will do so in order to see what is of interest in connection with the late war on that line. Richmond has now an air of bustle and ae- tivity such asit probably has never bad in Peaceful times, in consequence of the ex- tensive building operations going on all through the “burnt district.” The build- ings first erected after the fire were of tempora- Ty character, but now that the dread of the confiscation act has passed away and capital begins to come ont, the class of buildings going up is more in character with what is desirable for the leading business locality they occupy, Rents are yet enormous here, much beyond even the most exorbitant rates of Washington, and this is probably why living is high in Rich- mond. It certainly cannot be from the higher rate of provisions, for on a visit to the Richmond markets I find that meats, fish, and vegetables are. on the average, 30 per cent. lower in Richmond than in Wash. ington. Best porter-house steak was sélling, for instance, at 15 cents per pound. The streets of Richmond, we notice, are paved with the same wretched cobbie stone ax are our Washington streets; and as with us the dust must be insafferable in windy weather In consequence of the late hour of our return from our drive my notes must wait another day to be written out. The party will proba- bly return to Washington on Friday, and will ™orrow vo down the river to yieit Fort + Duich Gap, City Poin &e, ée. . 3. SN. sore. Tue EriscoraL CoyvENnTION.—In the Epis- cop: Conyention in Philadelphia yesterday, tLe canon proposed by Dr. Goodwin, that «No clergyman of this Church, whether Bishop, Priest, or Deacon, shall voluntarily enter any military or nayal service, except as a non- combatant, or shall accept orhold any military or naval commission, except that of a chaplain or instructor,” was adopted .
