Richmond Markets,Dec. 10. There is no change whatever in quotations, except those of Corn, which are lower. The market is very dull, and most of the quotations are merely nominal. Money matters continue stringent here; but we are led to believe, from the signs elsewhere, that our community is much better off than most leading commercial localities. The embarrassments caused by the political convulsion have spread far and wide, and are producing in many cities and manufacturing towns the most disastrous consequences. Nor is the end yet. In a short time we shall have accounts of disaster on the other side of the ocean, occasioned by the same causes which now afflict this country. Fanatics and knaves here and elsewhere will learn that they cannot carry on their work with impunity. If the misery they have wrought will only separate from the unthinking but well meaning part of society, and thus leave them to themselves, a great good will have been accomplished. But it

Congressional. Washington Dec. 10, --Senate.--The Senate agreed to continue the Standing Committees of last session. Mr. Sumner presented a memorial from Thaddeus Hyatt, asking aid for the people in Kansas. With relation to the select committee of thirteen on the President's Message, Mr. Powell, of Ky., urged its appointment. Mr. King, of New York, wished to amend Mr. Powell's resolution so as to read--" for the protection of persons as well as property in the United States, and inquire what legislation is necessary for the maintenance of the Federal power." Mr. Green, of Mo., was willing to amend the Constitution, as well as give power to the Executive to enforce the laws and maintain the rights of persons and property. He advocated a Federal police along the boundary line between the free and slave States, with power to arrest and return fugitive slaves. Mr. Powell's resolution was amended so as to strike out the portion inquiring as to the necessi
Programme for the Southern Republic. New York, Dec. 10. --The Herald's Washington correspondent says this new, important and formal programme which has been presented for the consideration of Southern Senators, was talked over in caucus. It emanates from Lamar of Mississippi. The first object is to get the cotton States to postpone final action so as to give time for other Southern States to co-operate with them. The plan is to have all the Southern States in separate Conventions at the same time, and adopt the present government of the United States at first, without any alterations; to provide for the execution of all laws and treaties, and for the general peaceable operation of all the machinery of the present government. Even after the several States had solemnly withdrawn from the Union, invite all other States to join them, with the hope that New England will stay out. The first feature in the programme is to have all the Southern States in separate Convention

Washington, Dec. 10. --The impression prevails here that the border States are about to advise the cotton States, in case they secede, to submit temporarily to the existing tariff and postal laws, and to send Commissioners to Washington to treat with the Federal Government, and thus avoid collision and bloodshed; and should the Federal Government refuse to recognize the Commissioners, or the negotiations fall to be consummated, then the border States will follow their sister Southern States in secession. The Herald's rumor that Lincoln has addressed a conciliatory letter to Jeff. Davis, is discredited here. Messrs. Miles, McQueen and Boyce, of S. C., had an interview with the President to-day. Result unknown. Secretary Cobb has certainly resigned, and will return home on Thursday. The President, to-day, was assured from authentic sources that South Carolina will not oppose the collection of the revenue, nor the Federal retention of the fo
South Carolina. Columbia, S. C., Dec. 10. --There is nothing of unusual interest that has occurred within the last few days. All the delegates so far elected to the Convention favor immediate secession. [Second Dispatch.] Columbia, S. C., Dec. 10. --In reference to the proposition to send Commissioners from Virginia, Kentucky and other border States, the Guardian says it is a useless measure; the Convention will not listen to persuasions from any quarter.
