EMIGRATION TO SOUTHERN STATSS. A Hamburg correspondent writes that emigration to Southern States opens very favorably for Mississippi. Oiy the steamer to New Orleans nearly two hundred Swedes sailed for the Water Valley in Mississippi, to people a plantation and some industrial enterprises of Mr. Bergmund, one of their own countrymen.

He advances every cent of the cost of the journey of these people from-the north of Sweden to the center of Mississippi They have been all poor, although decent and generally able-bodied. Advances made to-them will be repaid through their labor in Mississippi. During February and March of this year six or eight hundred persons wilL be sent by the same gentleman, under the same terms, to Mississippi. These Swedes are not Mormons, as several papers erroneously reported.

ADVICES FROM HAYTI.

Haytiep advices stale that various revolutionists have expressed their determimation to crush out the Salnave party, and in the principal towns of the south the shooting of Salnavists is going on at quite a brisk rate. At Jeremie a large number of them have been already disposed of in this summary way, and at Jacmel there are no fewer than 46 in prison, most of whom if not all, will certainly be shot. In Port-au-Prince, also, plenty of work has been cut out for the military tribunals.

Mr. Wilson, from the Military Committee, reported adversely the Housejoint resolution" authorizing the purchase or lease of buildings in New York for the use of Staff departments of the army.

Mr. Sherman presented resolutions of the Legislature of Ohio ratifying the 15th amendment. He explained that a former Legislature being Democratic, rejected the amendment, but upon an appeal to the people a Republican majority had been secured, and the present affirmative action followed as a necessary consequence the above communication was referred.

Mr. Howard offered a resolution, which was agreed to, requesting the Attorney General to communicate to the Senate copies of any communication sent by him to any of the United States military authorities since the passage of the-last act relative to the admission of Georgia and its representation in Congress, and particularly any opinion given by him touching the eligibi: of members of the Georgia Legislat:. e..

Mr. Morton offered a resolution, which was agreed to, calling upon the President for information concerning the ratification of the 15th amendment by the Legislature of Mississippi, and in regard to other affairs there.

Mr. Ramsey, from the Committee on Post Offices and Past Roads, reported back with amendment, the bill to establish a postal telegraph company. The company is required to provide telegraph lines to any city and village where telegraph stations are now maintained for transmission of messages for the public, and to all places which have a population of 3,000 inhabitants. The person performing the duties of Commissioner of Telegraph, shall be styled Fourth Assistant Postmaster General, and any postmaster may act as operator, with the approval of the Postmaster General. The company may purchase any line3 offered to it prior to January 1st 1871.

Mr. Morton introduced a bill for the admission of Mississippi. It imposes the same conditions as in the case of Virginia, except that members of the Legislature are not required to take any oaths referred to Committee on Judiciary.

The Senate then took up the currency bill. Upon suggestion of Mr. Sherman, the pending amendment of Messrs. Morton and Sumner were withdrawn.

Mr. Sherman then submitted from the Finance Committee an amendment, which after discussion was modified to read as follows: "That after the expiration of six months from the passage of this act, any banking association located in any State having more than its proportion of circu^tion, may be removed to any State havflg less than its proportion, of circulation^ under such rules and regulations as the Comptroller of the Currency, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, may require provided the amount of issue of said bank shall not be deducted from the amount of the new issue provided for in this act."

Mr. Morton said if the State of Minnesota was to be allowed more banking capital the additional facilities should be given to citizens of that State who are ready and willing to take them, instead of authorizing the transfer thereof to banks of other States.

Mr. Conkling believed the amendment objectionable, because of the uncertainty and confusion to result from it practically after apportioning the present additional volume of circulation among the States now deficient. Any bank might by the amendment remove to increase its circulation, but no provision was made in regard to the amount of this excess to be allowed.

The Senate then adopted the amendment, yeas 43, nays 12.The former amendment of Mr. Morton to fix the additional amount of circulation at fifty-two millions was then renewed.

Mr. Chandler moved to amend so as to authorize an issue of one hundred millions, while preventing any diminution of increase of circulation by substituting bank notes for legal tender. If banks were not started under this proposition no greenbacks would be withdrawn, but if banks were started, then an amount of greenbacks equal to the amount of new circulation would have to be withdrawn. In other words, he said if this entire one hundred millions was taken we would be brought one hundred millions nearer to specie payment than we are.to-day, a reduction to that amount being effected in the present circulation. In the meantime currency would not be

similar to that offered by

0 feet, and a ,i,„t ponntnr and was calculated to equal-

that Senator, and was calculated to equal ize the amount of circulation of the national banks. He favored the provision to authorize banks upon a gold basis.

During further discussion Mr. Morton opposed the amendment of Mr. Chandler, because he felt satisfied that no bill to fund legal tender notes that bear no interest into an interest bearing debt could pass Congress at the present session.

Mr. Sumner advised the Senate to give the country an indication of its financial policy by maturing the -present measure in the manner proposed by his amend-

The amendment of Mr. Chandler was then rejected without division. Mr. Cameron remarked the only remedy in his opinion, for our difficulties was to be found in the resumption of specie payment. After that had been attained, he would be among the first to make banking, like other kinds of business, free and open to all.

An understanding has been? had that a vote will be had next Tuesday. The Senate at 4 o'clock p. m., went into executive session, and shortly after adjourned.

HOUSE.

A^large number of bills were introduced and referred, including the following:

For apprenticeship in the Navy to admit Mississippi to representation in Congress to remove all political disabilities to divide Ohio into, three judicial districts to authorize and aid the Kansas Pacific Railroad Company to extend the road to El Paso setting apart a portion of Fort Snelling Military Reservation for a permanent military post to repeal the act of the 3d of March, 1863, relative to habeas corpus to abolish the Department of Agriculture to declare Grand river in Missouri, not navigable to provide for notes of exchange, $100,000,000 in U. S. bonds, and issuing therefor an equivalent amount of notes not bearing interest fixing the pay of Senators and Representatives at $3,000 per year, and reducing mileage to 10 cents per mile from the 4th of March, 1871 extending till 6th of Dec. 1872, the time for filing claims for additional bounties for extension of Portage Lake Canal to "Keweenaw" Bay, Midi.

Mr. Ingersoll offered a resolution requiring the Committee on Banking and Currency to report back within six days his bill authorizing a?v additional issue of legal tender notes to the amount of $44,000,000.

The House refused to second the previous motion, 43 to 7l!, and the resolution went over.

Mr. Cullom offered a resolution directing the special, committee on'piostal telegraph to inquire into the whole subject of telegraphs throughout the United States, and authorizing it to send for persons.

The House refused-to second the question, 35 to 75, and the resolution went over. Mr. McNeely offered a resolution de" c'aring the national debt should be. paid in strict compliance with the contract, and that the 5-20's are payable in greenbacks, and condemning the policy of the administration in redeeming such bonds at a high rate of premium while it has a clear right to redeem them at par.

Mr. Jones, of Kentucky, moved to lay" the resolution on the table, for the purpose of testing the sense of the House.— The motion carried, yeas 122, nays 41, a strict party vote.

Mr. Burr offered a resolution calling for information of the quantity of raw materials, such as copper, tin and pig iron, on hand in the various dock-yards and arsenals, and why they are not to be sold siilopted.

Ir. Cullom offered a resolution calling in^orma.iiin as to the amount of uix collected for 1869 on liquors and tobacco in each Congressional district also the aggregate amount collected from all sources in each Congressional district adopted.

Mr. Logan offered a resolution to invite the National Labor Union'in session in Washington to have an address delivered by one of its members in the hall of the House of Represent ives some evening this week adopted by 75 to 38.

Mr. Marshall offered a resolution declaring that the Constitutional authority to levy taxes doe3 not include any power to impose duties'for any other purpose than the collections of revenue.

Mr. Kelsey moved to table the resolution. The morning hour expired and it went over till next Monday.

Mr. Fitch ofi'ered a re-olntion to grant belligerent rights to the Republic of Cuba and moved its reference to a sclect committee of seven.

Mr. Banks moved its reference to the Committee on Foreign Afilirs. The Litter motion was agreed to 125 to 41.

Business on the Speaker's table was taken up and dispored of, and the House adjourned.
