Southern Congress.

Montgomery, March 11.
--The permanent Constitution was adopted to-day. It is kept secret, but members of Congress state that among its provisions are the following:--That the President serves six years; Executive appointments under the grade of Cabinet officers hold office during good behavior, and may be removed for causes assigned in writing; the Slave trade is prohibited; Cabinet officers are not prohibited from holding seats in Congress.

An act was passed authorizing issuing of $1,000,000 Treasury notes.

The Appropriation bill for current expenses was passed.

The Secretary of the Treasury finds no difficulty in negotiation of the $15,000,000 loan, as far as needed, at present.
