We notice, among other officers visiting Cin dnnati recently, attendants upon General Grant Georgia’s first military commander, Gen. John Porn—he to whom the “loll” press of the State was indebted for “Order No. 49.” May he live long to learn in what eatimation he is held by a people and a press that he tyranized over to gratify the vindictive feelings of his nature; i nature in which neither bravery nor veracity is an element. _ Tho Alaska Mouejr. The New York Herald, commenting upon the fact that the Congressional investigating com mitiec, charged with looking into what became of the Alaska money, says it gives the commit tee the appearance “ in some degree ” of step ping on delicate ground. In our opinion does so, not only in “ some degree,” but in a great degree ; and it will, we have no doubt, as the Herald, says, be asked wbat “ Congress has to do with the question how Russia spends her dtoney, and wbat power It possesses to pat questions to Russia’s authorized agents as to the disposal they make to all sorts ot irresponsible persons ot money that came honestly into their possession. The answer is, that Congress moves with regard to tho privilege and character ot members. The allegation has been made on substantial authority that a large amount ol money was spent hero by Russia through differ ent parties with the purpose ot affecting the votes of members of Congress, and Congress itself, concerned shout its own purity, bases the investigation on that point. Is it not odd that Congress waited for a case with Russia to inves tigate the honesty ot its members <p money charges?" It is indeed odd that Congress has waited for a case with Russia to investigate the honesty of its members on money, or other charges, when so many cases present themselves within the reach ot that body at home, within the precincts of the national capitol. The move has more the appearance of getting up a case for bun- combo purpo.es than with a view to actually investigate the honesty ®t members. Russia can not and will not respond tetlie call. If she has bribed members ot Congress, she will not ex pose them, and she will be very apt to say to the Investigating committee that Congress had belter attend to its own business and 1st Russia alone. The United States and Russia have long been fast friends. Mutual interests have mads them so. But Russia, with her bear-like proclivi ties for hugging, is very apt too to display her clam when her diplomacy is intruded upon, and she will bt very apt to display the latter when Con gress pr^^Ua^ktluu party to any fraud ulent orWmdPng iransfctlon, even though it may be designed to vindicate the honor ot that incorruptible body. But in reference to the Alaska money, it seems that Secretary Seward, who has been before the investigating committee, has testified that he knew nothing of any sums having been paid “to influence the passage of the Alaska Appropria tion bill, but recommend to Baron Stockel, the Russian Minister, Robert J. Walker, as a man who could be made useful in laying before the people facts in relation to the Russian-Ameriean possessions. Two newspaper correspondents were examined, but they .knew nothing about the matter, and their letters only retailed street rumors. Thus tar it has been shown that but one person connected with the press realized anything by this Alaska transaction.” The paper relerred to in the foregoing, as will be seen in the iollowlug paragraph, is Forney’s Washing*#“daily,” the Chronicle: “He'( Walker) advised Baron Stoeckel to pay Colonel Forney three thousand dollars in gold for his kinduess in giving the use of the columns ot the Washington Chronicle to Mr. Walker For discussion of the subject. Col. Forney declined to receive the money on the ground that he was an officer ot the Seuate, and he therefore did not think it proper to take the proffered iunds. Mr. Walker insisted, nevertheless, that the Chronicle publisher mast have the coin, and alter much persuasion by himself and Baron Stoeckel, Mr. D. C Forney, the publisher of the paper, brother of Colonel Forney, accepted the money.” don reporting bonds down to 73£. German bankers are large buyers. The bank statement is again unfavorable, but ? jrhaps less so than was generally expected. he legal tenders show a decrease ot $3,219,000, and the deposits are $6,200,000 lower, indicating a large outward fiew ot funds. The loans, how ever, are nearly $1,000,000 lower. The surplus over the legal reserve has been reduced $2,188,- 000, leaving the snrplus about $15,000,000. The railway shares took a very buoyant turn toward the close. The bank statement was favorable to a rise. Brie was the only exception, and re mained flat. The greatest buoyancy was shown in Northwestern shares, which advanced to 78$ for the common and 81 for the preferred stock, and Rock Island rose to 109 to 1091. Pacific Mail sold ns to 115; Reading, 97. New York Central was firmer on the renewal of the reports of an early stock dividend. Pittsburg was va riable, under the influence of rumors as to which of the contending parties will gain control at the coming election Governments were about steady, notwith standing the warlike advices from Europe. ing. Mr. Stewart is said to be worth the corn- tor table sum of $40,000,000, and a correspondent of the Philadelohia Sunday Dispatch savs of him: He mast be seventy years of age. He has no children. He is so excessively close in ail his transactions, so exceedingly provident in all his disbursements, that his expense ot living must be comparatively insignificant. His income, therefore, is inordinate. Gossip sums it np at eight millions a year. No wonder—poor fellow ! he is compelled to harass his soul out of his aged body in schemes to monopolize the trade of The metropolis, and absorb from the business of all others enough to keep him ont of the alms house! Truly, I pity his indigence. I really thought, as Rothschild said of his friend who died worth only eight millions, that he was “in easy circumstances.” But he cannot live much longer; and then won’t the money fly I More over, it is my firm opinion that his death will occasion nothing but newspaper regret. He is by no means a popular gentleman. He seems to have inspired nobody but that blind old lady, Fortune, with an affection for him. He pays Border State bonds were steady, with rather nobody a dollar more than the necessity calls more doing. Special Telegraphic Correspondence of the Lonlsvillo Courier-Journal. From Wuhlneton. W ashinoton, D. C., Dec. 19, 1868. THE DUTY ON COPPER. Th e Senato held a brief session to-day, but accomplished no legislative business. An at tempt to lake np the House bill to increase the duties on copper ore failed by 22 ayes to 25 nays. The Maryland Senator representing the smelt ing interest ot that Slate, opposed the considera tion ot the bill and declared that it would in crease the cost ot copper ore about sixty dollars per ton. The Michigan Senators stated that millions of dollars ot capital invested in that State were interested in the passage of the bill. The indications are that it will pass after the holiday recess. ROLLINS AS A STICKER. It is said to be definitely understood now that Commissioner Rollins will remain in office until after the 4lh of March next, or at least that he will certainly not send in his resignation until Congress shall have reassembled alter the holi days’ vacation. The tact creates quite a con- for ; and, although his integrity is unquestiona ble, his generosity, liberality, public spirit, etc., are commonly limited to cases in which he may be sure ot h ! s reward in newspaper notoriety and public eulogy. His industry, enterprise, energy, and sagacity, do liiui credit. They have made him a millionaire. His learning, I dare say, re quires no commentary. His btmevolence and philontbrophy permit me to place in the same category. Personally, he is said to be an agree able companion and an interesting conversation alist BY TiSLEUKAPH.

The Senate Judiciary Committee have de cided that there is a necessity for Congressional action in reference to Georgia, and will report hack with amendments the bill of Senator Edmunds. NATIONAL LABOR UNION AND SPECIE PAYMENTS. The President of the National Labor Union is out in a communication in which he pro nounces erroneous the statement heretofore pub lished, to the effect that the executive committee of that body had, in its recent interview with Gen. Butler, urged a speedy return to specie payments. He says that, on the other hand, they are opposed, not only to a retnrn to specie payments, but to the use of gold and silver as money. What they want is an exclusive paper currency. indignant nigonr. Menard, the negro member elect to Congress, is iodignant at the manner in which the Radi cals disposed ot his case. He says he was elected only tor the residue of the present Congress, which expires on the 4th of March, and the reference of his case to the Committee on Elec tions he regards as equivalent to his rejection. WHITEWASHING REPORT. It is stated to-day that the whisky fraud re port, which i9 to be made to Congress on Mon day next, will justify Commissioner Rellins and censure the President in regard to the Kentucky Bourbon case. FEMALE SUFFRAGE. The bill introduced by Mr. Wilson on the 18th instant ia the Senate' to “ regulate the elective franchise in the District of Columbia” provides for striking out the word “male” in the first-sec tion of the election laws ot this District now in force, and that every word in said ac s applica ble to persons of the male sex shall apply equally to persons ot the female sex, so that hereafter women who are inhabitants ot the District ot Columbia and citizens of the United States may vole at all elections, and be eligible to all civil offices in said District on the same terms and conditions in all respects as men. NATURALIZATION TREATIES. The President will shortly send to the Senate two more naturalizaliou treaties negotiated with foreign powers, based on the same general prin ciples as the Germau treaty ratified last session. THE WHISKY TAX. A few memorials have been received by the Department that two revenue inspectors were murdered and one injured iu that district by band of robbers. The names of the murdered men are Wm. H. Phelps, Geo. F. Hammond. Seward with several foreign ministers have gone to Auburn. Chase has gone to Rhode Island. The Indian Commission will report in favor of making the Indian Bureau a seperate depart ment. The Senate Indian Committee is unanimously opposed to the House bill transferring the In dian Bureau to the War Department. Grant has ordered Colonel Seel, of his staff, to investigate Indian Affairs. The Iribune has the following Washington special: Lieutenant-Goveruor Dunn of Louisia na, telegraphs to the Louisiana Senators in this city that he apprehends difficulty on the ro-as serabling of the State Legislature next month. The New Orleans thugs and rebel plug uglies threaten to clean out the Republican members of that body if they attempt to meet and traus anct business. The Louisiana Senators will communicate with General Grant ami Secretary Schofield re garding this report to-morrow. In response to a question as to how cigars seized for nonpayment of tax may be put upon the market, no stamps being affixed, for which the seizure was made, Rollins decides that stamps shall be affixed necessary to cover the tax due, and the collector shall accredit to his stamp accouut so much of tho proceeds of their sale as shall equal the value of the stamps affixed, and pay the balance, if any, into the Treasury. If the amount of the sales do£s not pay the expenses and the tax due thereon, then the law authorizes the collector to bid them in for the Government lor an amount not exceed ing the tax. It is thought Congress will provide for lurnishing stamps to goods sold under for feiture. WiLMrNGTON, Del., Dae. 23.—Abe Hickeus, ef Philadelphia, and Pete Maguire Peekskill, of New York, fought five rounds, Hickens winning breaking Maguire’s jaw. London, Dec. 23.—The Telegraph prints telegram trom Berlin announcing that Prussia has called for a conference of the great powers to settle peaceably the Turco-Greek question. A hundred members of Parliament have sign From the New York Tribune. Tit® Franking Gouxe-fllr. Greeley Wrathy About the "Loll** Privilege. Mr. Postmaster-General Randall has been enough in himselt to run the postal service, and the bread-and-butter policy is ample cause for a deficiency. But the luckless department has been afflicted with a complication of fatal dis orders. A graver one than usual, as we learn from Washington, was the expenditure of one million dollars in carrying electioneering docu ments under Congressional tranks. How do the tax pavers relish this feature of our expenditures ? One million ot dollars for stuffing the letter- bags with documents that nobody wants, and hauliug them trom Washington to Arizona and Alaska! We have much talk about your intention to economise this session, Messrs. Congressmen, bare is an admirable place tor a beginuing. This little line in the telegraphic dispatcues gives one million distinct and conclusivestrguments in fa vor ot the immediate, abolition cf the franking privilege. A member ol Congress from North Caroliua has been indicted for abuse ot the frank ing privilege. It is consoling to know that grand juries iu North Caioliua have so much respect lor justice; but if the example set in Raleigh should be generally lollowed how many of our Senators and Representatives would escape? Thepoor man who wants to write to his son in the far West must pay postage on his letter; but any scamp who can make a fac-simile of a Congressman’s stamp can mail a car load of use less rubbish every day ia the week without pay ing a cent Something might be gained by abol ishing the use of trank stamps, bui the only way is to abolish Irankiug. crease ot the tax on whisky, but there does not appear to be any truth in the story that a general movement is on foot to urge Congress to again raise the tax. The House is believed to be unanimously against it. TARIFF BILL. The long tariff bill is pending in the commit tee ot the whole from the last session, and a mo tion is to be made to take it up the very day Congress re-asstmbles. Its friends desire it re committed, to add more articles for duty, which are now on the tree list, but are afraid it will jeopardize its consideration in the House, owing to the brevity of the session. FLORIDA CARPET-BAGGER. The new Senator from Florida, A. Gilbert, who takes bis seat March 4th, has arrived. His credentials were presented on yesterday. THE PRESIDENT AND SPECIE PAYMENTS. A paragraph has been telegraphed hence to a Northern ffliper, containing what purports to be the substance ot a conversation between a mem ber of Congress and th® President, in which the latter is made to say that he is not in favor ol an early resumption ol specie payments. The state ment is erroneous. Mr. Johnson is understood to be in favor ot immediate resumption, though he has not authorized any one to announce the plan or modus operandi by which he would ac complish the end songh to be attained. WHISKY FRAUDS. In the report on whisky frauds, to be made to-inoi row to the House, the Retrenchment Committee speaks of the evil of the Internal Revenue Department in compromising frauds, and says that the great source of frauds is in the settlement or compromise ot frauds. Let the law be plain in its provi ions, and then the offender understands that its penalties will be enforced unless th® law officers shall be satisfied that the proseentiou is groundless. It would not strengthen this proposition to enumerate the number or nature of the outrages which have grown up iu this system of compromising. Re stricting an officer to the limits ot his own dis trict is having a tendency to remove an addi tional restraint from those districts where offi cers are neglectful or dishouest. 6KVBRE ON THE PRESIDENT. The committee are very severe on the Presi dent’s course, in suspending action on the Ken tucky Bourbon cases, and conclude by giving Commissioner Robin’s evidence iu full on the collection of the revenue.

Nobody was hurt. The Central Railroad down train collided, and was detained six hours, but no lives were lost. Further trouble has occurred on the Ogeechee river.

At about 1:30 this afternoon the people in the neighborhood of Water and Upper Third streets were thrown into a stale of excitement by the loud report of a pistol. A crowd soon gather ing, it was ascertained that Mr. 8. S. Moore, Jr., a son of S. S. Moore. Esq., and a clerk in his father’s store, on Main street, near Pear], had been shot and instantly killed by Mrs. Melissa Morton, wife oi John Morton. The shooliug took place at the bouse of Mrs. Louisa Huff, who resides next door to the Mortons. It seems tnat Mrs. Morton had been at the store ot Mr. Moore a few min utes before, and was accompanied near home hy young Mr. Moore, who went to Mrs. Huff’s residence and stated that he had an agreement to meet Mrs. Morton there. Mrs. Huff stated that the room was cold, but that she would make a fire. She started for the door and had got on the outside when Mrs. Morion entered and im mediately drew a revolver and fired, the ball en tering Moore’s neck, probabably severing the jugular vein. The unfortunate young mau dropped dead on the floor without making the least sign of speaking a word. We understand tiiat Mrs. Morton says that Moore had writen her several insulting notes, whicu she has in her possession, and that she had demanded a written apology from him.— What occurred at the store betore terrible tragedy was enacted we are not advised, nor what was the object of the conference at Mrs. Hull’s. Nor are we advised of nature of the conversation at Mrs. Huff’s house, u any took place. The affair is one of the most ter rible that ev er occurred in our city. Mrs. Mor ton’s maiden name was Davis.

He, thereloro, endeavored to- in vest it with strongest possible safeguard against coun terfeiters, and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult and dangerous. It was submitted to distinguished chemists for enalysia, aud pronounced by them the pu rest spirits ever manufactured. Its purity and properties having been thus ascertained, samples ol tlicartic.e worn forwarded to ten thousand physicians, including ah the leading practitioners in the United Stat es, for purposes of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of the pre paration aud report ot the result, accompanied each spe cimen. Four thousand ol the most eminent medical men in the Union promptly responded. Their opinions ot the article were unanimously favorable. Such a prepara tion, they said, had long been wanted by the profession, as no reliance could be placed oa the ordinary liquors of commerce, all of whieh were more or less adulterated, and therefore unfit for medical purpos e. The peculiar excellence and strength of the oil of juniper, which form ed one of the principal ingredients of the Schnapps, to gether with an unalloyed character ot the alcoholic ele ment, give it, in the estimation of the faculty, a marked superiority over every other diflusive stimulant as a diu retic, tonie, and restorative. These s itistactory credentials irom professional men of the highest rank were published in a condensed form, and enclosed with each bottle of the Schnapps, as one of the guarantees of its genuineness. Other precautions against fraud were also adopted; a patent was obtained or the article, the label was copyrighted, a far- simile o the proprietor’s autograph signature was attache,i to each label and cover, his name and that of the prepara tion were embossed on the bottles, and the corks were sealed with his private seal. No article had ever been sold in this country under the name of Schnapps prior to the introduction of Wolfe’s Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1851; aad the label was deposited, as his trade mark, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York during that year. It might be supposed by persons unacquainted w ; th the daring character of the pirates who prey upon the reputation of honorable merchants by vending delete rious trash under their name, that the protections so carefnlly thrown around these Schnapps would have pre cluded the introductions and sale ol counterfeits. They seem, however, only to have stimulated the rapacity of impostors. The trade mark of the proprietor has been stolen; the indorsement which his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone received from the medical profession has been clained by mendacious humbugs; his labels and bottles have been imitated, kis advertisements para phrased, his circulars copied, and worse than all, dishon orable retailers, after disposing of the genuine contents of his bottles, have filled them up with common gin, the most deleter.ous of all Ilquore, and thus made bis name and brand a cover for poison. The public, the medical profession, and the sick, for whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed as a remedy, are equally interested with the proprietor in the detection and suppression of these nefarious prac tices. The genuine article, manufactured at the estab lishment of the undersigned, in Schiedam, Holland, is distilled irom a barley of the finest quality, and flavoted with an essential extract ef the berry of the Italian juni per, of uuequaled purity. B> a process uuknowu in tho preparation of any other liquor, it is freed from every acrimonious and corrosive element. Complaints have boen received from the leading physi cians and families in the Southern States of the sale of cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps iu those markets, aud travelers who are in the habit of using it as an antidode to the baneful influence of un wholesome river water, testify that cheap giu, put up in Sheridan bottles, is frequently palmed off upon the un wary. The agents of the nudersigned have been request ed to institute inquiries on the subject, and to forward to him the names of such parties as they may ascertain to be engaged in the atrocious system of deception. Iu conclusion, the undersigned would say that he has pro duced, fiom uuder the hands of the most distinguished men of science in America, proofs unanswerable of the purity and medicinal excellence of the Schiedam Aro matic Sclmapps; that he has expended many thousand dollars in surrounding it with guarantees and safeguards which he designed should proteet the public md himself against fraudulent imitations; that he has shown it to be the only liquor In the world that can be uniformly de. pended upon as unadulterated; that he has challenged investigation, analysis, comparaison, and experiment iu all its forms; and from every ordeal the preparation whicn b ars his name, seal, and trade mark, has come off triumphant. He therefore feels it a duty he owes to his tellow-citusens generally, to the medical profession and the sick, to denounce and expose the charlatans who counterfeit these evidences of identity, and he calls upon the press and the public to aid him in his eeorts to rem edy so great an evil. The following letters and certificates from the leading physicians and cheraiets of this city will prove to the reader that all goods sold by the undersigned are all they are represented to be.

DANIEL PITTMAN, Ordinary. deeSS—dftwlt Printer’s fee $3 SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO. T HIS GUANO is fouad by experience to possess fully equal, and, under tome conditions, gieater, ferti- tzing power than Peruvian Gnano. Its cost per ton is at least $30 less than Peruvian; hence, planters can afford to use it more liberally, and thus realize greater benefits. According to the experience of Wm. H. Young, Esq., of Columbns, Ga., to whom we reter, Q0n pounds per acre of Soluble Pacific Gnano increased the crop three to fonr times; 400 pounds per acre increased the crop five to six times. Dlrkctiohs you Us*:—Strew one half the quantity to be applied per acre In tbe drill, or hill, and plant upon it. When the cotton or corn is brought to a stand, and well up, ray lour or five inches, sow the other halt broadcast between the rows, before the plows. This is found to be a better method than to apply all in the drill. This Guano not only increases theorop so la’gely, but matures it from two to four weeks earlier— thus adding so long a time to the bearing season, and makes a good crop, notwithstanding it be attacked by caterpillar. The use of this Guano in Georgia on the last crop paid from 200 to 400 p'-r cent, on the investment. Every planter, who is incredulous as to there facts, should at hast satisfy himself by a trial on a rmall scale, as the outlay will be small, while the experience gained will prove of great value. The culture of poor lanu will not compensate without the use of concentraied ferti lizers, and that which is best, at least cost, mast be pre ferred. As* testimonials annexed.

Columbus, Ga., December, 1861 John B, Reese ft Co: Dear Sire—Anoihei s aeon con firms my previously expressed convictions^ that ihe Soluble Pacifle Guano, as compared with Peruvian, is fully as good—indeed, better. I have uow tesu d it suf ficiently, using each side by side for two seasons, apply ing the same weight of each per acre, ana in every case the Pacific has given the best results on cotton, corn, potatoe-, and small grain, aud the testimony 1 have Irom a great many planters confirms my experience. WM. H. YOUNG. Charles A. Peabodr, Esq., of Lee county, Alabama, in a letter to William H. Young, sayr : “Th* Peruvian Guano I had before used, and know it tobeaninvalu ble fertilizer for cotton. I now find ihe Bolnble Pacific to be equally as good. At the fame price, 1 would as soon have it for cotton or corn as the Peruvian; some of my hands insist that it is better.” dec!5 - I feel bound to say that I tegard your Schnapps as be ing in every respect pre-eminently pure, and Deserving of medical patronage.

The examination has resulted in the conclusion that the sample contained no poisonous or harmful admix ture. I have been unable to discover any trace of the deleterious substance* whieh are employed in the adul teration of liquors. I would not hesitate to use myself, or to recommend to others, for medicinal purposes, the Schiedam Schnapps as an excellent and unobjectionable variety of gin.

Udolpho WoUe, Esq.: Dear Sir—The want of pure Wines and liquors forme dicinal purposes has been long felt by the profession, and thousands of lives have been sacrificed by the use of adulterated articles. Delirium tremens, and other dis eases of the brain and nervos so rife in this country, are very rare iu Europe, owing, in a great degree, to the dif ferenee in the purity of the spirits sold. We have tested the several articles imported and sold by you, including your Gin, which you sell nnder the name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, which we con sider justly entitled to the Ugh reputation it has acquired in thin country; and from yonr long experience as a for eign importer, your Bottled Wines and Liquors should meet with the same demand. We would recommend you to appoint some of Hie re spcctable apothecaries in different parts of the city a agents lor the sale of your Brandies and Wines, wher the profession can obtain the same when needed for medicinal purposes.
