SENATE
-------
In the senate, on the 29th, Mr. Gordon presented the petition of Wade Hampton, Wm. B. Simpson, Wm. H. Wallace and sixty-eight senators and representatives in the general assembly of South Carolina, addressed to congress, reciting at length the events which have recently transpired in that state, interference of the military, etc., and asking congress to take such action as will cause a cessation of military interference in the affairs of the state and enable the governor and legislature to exercise the duties of the offices to which they were elected. The memorial having been read, Mr. Gordon moved that it be referred to the judiciary committee. No quorum, so the senate adjourned until Tuesday night in accordance with an order previously adopted.
