[Correepondeace of Associated Prese.]
City Poibt, Jan. -Tl.?Yesterday, a flag of
truce appeared on the line in front of Peters
burg, occupied by the 9th corps, and a message
sent in tor permission to allow A. H. Stephens
aad KMT. Hunter, commissioners from the
Southern Confederacy, to pasa through the
?iues for tbe parp?se of proceeding to Wash
ington, supposed to be for the purpose of pro
posing terms of peace to or conference with tke
Government at Washington.
Owing to some misunderstanding they did
not come through tbe lines, but it is expected
the matter will be arranged and tbat they will
arrive to-day and at once be conveyed to Wash
ington on a special boat.
This is the only event of intereat which has
occurred for a week.

PASSAGE OFTHE CONSTITUTIONAL AMINO
HEW T.
The joint resolution adopted by the House of
Representatives yesterday, declaring that
"neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except
as a punishment for crimes whcfeof the party shall
hate been duly convicted, shall exist within the
United .States," passed the Senate laat session,
and only requires the assent of three-fourths
of the States to give the amendment ? alidi ty.
The whole number ef States ia thirty-eight,
twenty.nine o? which are required to ratify it.
The debate has been prolonged to great
tsngtb, few neglecting the opportunity to dia
cuse the great final issue, the anticipation of
which so long agitated the public mind and
disturbed the halls of Congress. No subject
since tbe outbreak of the rebellion has proved
of so much interest to the people at large than
this, and its discussion daring the past two
wees? attracted to the Capitol crowds equaled
only bv tbe throngs that filled its corridors and
galleries during the stormy sessione of '61 and
m
The vote on the amendment cannot be re
garded as a strictly party one. Had it been |
euch, there can be no question that the meas
ure woula have failed. Maay of tke Demo
crats who had opposed the amendment
throughout finally abandoned their position,
voting in the affirmative, much to the surprise
of all on the floor, and giving a larger majority
than the most sanguine had anticinated. The
vote of Mr. Ganaon, of New York, wa? the
first pc-sitive assurance of the passage of the
resolution, and elicited subduid applause.
Tbe D?mocrate who voted for the amend
ment are:?Joseph Bailey, Pa.; Augustus
Baldwin, Mich.; Alex. H. Coffroth, Pa.; Jas.
E English, Conn : John Ganson, N. Y.; John
A Griswold. N. 1'.; Anaon Herrick, ?. Y.:

the galleriea rang with deafening cheer?,. J
all joined in a spontaneous outburst of enthu

Speaker tor several moments. As the crowd
dispersed, the excitement gradually subsided,
and the House resumed business wi'h its usual
decorum, but the great trinmph of the day

Tbe amendment will undoubtedly be ratified ' ?
by more than the requisite number of State?,
and thus will be removed the one great draw

existence of which we could never hope to
become a perfectly homogeneous people with

SOUTH CAROLINA SINKS OR 8W! MS WITH
THE INSTITUTION OF SLAVERY.
The Charleston Mercury ot January 13th, as
we stated yesterday, makes bitter opposition
to tbe proposition in Richmond to abandon
slavery if necessary for the success ot the re
bellion, and says???It was on account of en
croachments upon the institution of slavery
by tbe sectional party of tbe old Union that
Sonth Carolina aeceded from that Union. It is
not at thu late day, after the loss of thirty thousand
of her best ond bravest men in battle, that she will
gv?~erit to be bartered away: or ground between
the upper and nether mill-stones by the mad
ness of Congress or the counsels of shallow
men elsewhere.
??She atanda upon her institutions, and there
?he will iall in their defence We vjant no Con
federate Government without our institutvyns.''
* * * "The soldiers of Sonth Carolina
?Will n?t fight beeide a nigger, to talk of emanci
pation is to disband our army. The straight and
narrow path of oar deliverance is in the re
form of our government, and tbe discipline o
0?r armies. Will Virginia stand by as, as ot
old, in this ragged path I We will not fail her
in the shadow of a hair. But South Carolina
will fight upon no other platform than that
?be laid down in 1-60."
The Charleston Courier publishes an order
of the provost marshal directing an armed
guard to patrol the street? of city day and
night for tbe apprehension of deserters and all
men capable of performing military daty, for
the parp?se of seeding* them to the front.

FiHABO*AL.-From yesterday's New York
. Evening Poet:
Wall street has been excited to-day by two
: rumors. First that Mobile has been evaluated,
and secondly tbat ai Annapolis last evening,
Messrs Stephens, Hunter and Campbell ar
rived as Commissioners from the rebels with
full powers to off?r terms of pacification, on
the basis ot a restoration of the Union. These
sensation rumors being credited, a fall in gold
and speculative stocks was produced.
Gold has been more active. The opening
and highest price va?-ilo \ a?.? ?, and ou peace
rumors, the price fell three per cent in a few
minutes, with much excitement and heavy
speculative transactions. The lowest point
struck was 803 V, the dosine Quotation.
The loan market is easy at 7 per cent., with
an increasing vol?me of transactions at 6.
The accumulation of capital continues, and of
carrency there is an increasing supply from
ihe West. Commercial paper is unchanged.
The stock market is feverish, and prices fa
vo* the buyer. Governments are firm. Cou
pons of 1^1 are wanted at 10fl?, five-twenties
at ioti*.-, and new loan at MBX. Ten-forties at
101.

All DisoHABOBD.?The robbery and attempt
to kill Wot. Bennett, a discharged soldier, last
Saturday night. In the alley between Ninth
and Tenth streets, and north of M
street, has been very caref ally investigated by
tbe Third Ward police. Several persons have
been arrested, and closely examined by Justice
Tnompeon. All of them were arrested upon
suspicion excited by circumstances which
seemed to connect them with the act. Yester
day afternoon Justice Thompson examined the
two colored men suspected, Jas. Hayes and
Moses Black. Hayes is the proprietor of the
house in which the robbery occurred, and was
suspected of bringing it about. Black was
suspected of having someol Bennett's money
after the affair. But the evidence proved
nothing in either case, it being substantially
the same as published in the Star of Monday.
Justice Thompson discharged the prisoners.
Bennett, the injured man, was alive last
night, and will probably recover, though at
first the physician attending him thought the
case doubtfnl.
