The Savannah Daily Herald. PRESENTATION GT Acs.EIAS ( KKDENIIALS TO THE President.— \V c understand that Count Wydeubruck, who bus been accredited to this Government as Minister Resident oi Austria, to till the place left vacant by the decease of the late lamented Count G ion, was yesterday received by the President. On presenting bis credentials. Count W ydtnbnicK made the following remarks: Mr. President : His Majesty the Empej'ot of Austria, my august sovereign, having graciously been pleased to appoint me hi' Miuister Resident in tho I uited States ol America, I have the honor to present the cre dentials which accredit me in that capacity to your Excellency. . lam particularly happy that the choice ot my sovereign lor this post has fallen upon me, as one of tin- duties of my mission is to be the interpreter of his sentiments towards your Excellency and the American people. Impressed as I inn with the political great ness and commercial importance oi this country, I shall esteem myself most fortunate if I succeed in contributing not only to entertain but to expand and develop the friendly relations so happily existing between niv own country and the United States. REPLY OF THE PRESIDENT. Count Wvdexbrcck ; I sincerely hope that you may find your residence in our country an agreeable one. During a period in which our relations with several of the foreign pow ers have been a subject of especial care, if not oi' anxiety, the friendly intercourse be tween your great country and ours has been free not only from disturbance,hut even from t very form of irritation or aunoyancc. Your sovereign has been discreet,frank, and friend ly, aml has thus won the confidence and good will of the Anericau people. The Nf.w Tariit Act.—Upon the Ist day of April the new Tariff act will take effect. In his circular accompanying it. Mr. McCul loch, introducing it as an act amendatory of certain acts imposing duties on imports, ap proved March 3, IBt>s, remarks that the se cond proviso in Section 4 of this act does not repeal Section 4 of the “Act to modify exist ing laws imposing duties on imports, and for other purposes,” approved March 3, 18(13. The second proviso iu tiie fourth section referred to, is that “no ship, vessel, or steam er, having a licence to trade between different districts, of the United States, or to carry on the ban . whale, or other fisheries, or on any ship, v> ssel, or steamer, to or from any point or place iu Mexico, the British provinces of Nor; h America, or any of the West India is lands, or in ail these trades, shall be required to pay the tonnage duty contemplated by this act more than once a year.” As the new Secretary remarks, therefore, vessels trading to or from any part or place south of Mexico, down to and including Aspinwall and Pana ma, will only once a year pay the tonnage of thirty cents per tom As section ninth enacts that this act is to ♦ake effect from the Ist of April, 18(15, the Secretary directs that in the absence of any law or provisions to the contrary, the rates of duty imposed by this act are to be assess ed only on such goods, wares, or merchan dise as may be imported on or alter that date The increased rates imposed by this act therefore are not assessed on goods imported previous to that date, whether under bond or otherwise. It is a mistaken idea to imagine that, merchants of the first class deprecafe a Tariff act as an incubus that must be sliunnt and or got iid off at all hazards. One of the prime duties oi the Secretary of the Treasury is to conserve, and the tenor of his circular is of a nature to attract the attention of the of candid-minded merchants. The Chows* of Mexico —lt may not be forgotten that a member of the Bonaparte family was offered, forty years ago, tiie crown of Mexico. The story is told nv the Empe ror himself in his sketch of Joseph, eldest brother of the first Napoleon: “While .Tor soph was livingß9 a philosopher on the banks ol the Delaware, thinking of nothing but of doing good lo those around-him, he received a proposal which surprised and touched him. A deputation of Mexicans came to him to him to place at his disposal the Crown of Mexico. r l ire Ex-Kiug ot Naples aud Spain answered the deputation in * nearly these terms: ‘I have borne two Crowns, and I would not take a single step for a third. | Nothing can be more flattering to me than to sec men ay ho, when I was iu Madrid, refused to recognize my authority, come now in my exile to ask of me to. pin mvsclf at their head But Ido not believe that tiie throne you wish to raise up ran make you happy ; and every day T spend on the hospitable soil of the United States proves to me more and more the excellence of republican institu tions for America. Preserve them, then, as the precious gifts of Providence. Put an end to your interiiue quarrels; imitate the United States, and look out. among your fel low citizens for someone more capable than I am to play the great part ol Washington.” Valuation of Massachusetts. —The Si ate Valuation Committee has reported, l'he en tire valuation of the property in the State is fixed at $1,000,009,829,051'., showing an in crease over t'de valuation of 1100 of $112,- 034,330.

Tne following letter from Major General Howard to Major General Logan, speaks for itself: Headq'rs Dep t and Akmt of ehe ) Tennessee, r Patterson Cross Road, S. C., Feb. 23. Major-General John A Logan : General—lt is my purpose to publish an j order of congratulation to the army as soon ; as the pressure of duty will permit me; but I ; cannot longer delay an expression of thanks i due to yourself and your remarkable corps tor the completeness of success which has at- i tended you during the vigorous operations from Savannah to the taking ot Columbia. You were present when Geu. John E. Smith's division forced its way across the \ Little Saltketcher swamp. You visited the bridge when General Hazen crossed the Edis to, and also witnessed the operations of the j same division, near Skiiiing’.s bridge, where ' ihe deep, wide and difficult swamp was crossed, and the enemy’s force captured or scattered, and I trust you will do them hon or by a graphic and distinctive narrative of their generous and indefatigable labor which resulted iu success. . I was with you at Cou garec creek, and shall not soon forget the difficult ground, the almost unassailable position ot the enemy at the bridge, when Gen. Wood's division waded through the mud, the swamp and tho creek, and suc ceeded in dislodging the rebels and patting them to flight. I closed my letter to General Sherman that day as follows : ‘‘The same vigor and bold ness that have characterized our meu during the hardships of this campaign were again exhibited to day. You yourself understand the difficulties of the ground—the mud, the water, swamps, deep creeks and ditches that they had to overcome in order to get at the euetny.” Again, I was present when you pushed Hazen across the Saluda, aud also vividly recalled the work of the eutire night, and the severe skirmish of the morning with Wood’s division,, to secure the crossing of the Broad. The successful expedition of Gen eral Corse along the line of the railroad, where he, together with your mounted in fantry, rendered useless some thirty miles of it. and destroyed an immense amount of re bel property, and afterwards pushed with so much promptitude to the head of the column, merely afforded us fresh instances of the earnest energy of himself and his command. The faithfulness with which every duty has been executed, the unflagging attention to order, and the cheerful and hearty deport ment of the entire corps, afford me siucere pleasure and a peculiar faith in your suc cess In this letter I have scarcely hinted at the operations of your commaud ; but believe me General, your own energetic co-operation iu these movements, which have resulted al ready in the fail of Columbia and Charles ton, and in the almost irreparable disruption of the enemy’s line of communication aud supply, can never be forgotten. Tender my congratulations and thanks to your noble division and brigade commanders, and through these to the officers and soldiers in their charge. May the blessing of Heaven continue with us, aud may nothing occur to mar the fair record of the Army of Tennes see. Very respectfully. O. O. Howard, Major General Commanding. Roman Children. —During the Christmas week a miuatnre stage is erected opposite the chapel, from which children, principally of the high or middling class, deliver short discourses laudatory of the infant Jesus. —• This is really a most entertaining sight.— Tricked out iu the gaudiest dress that the vanity of their mammas can afford, the little bildren, many scarcely able to lisp, are lin ed on the st age by monks, and, having learn ed their lesson by heart, declaim piccolo cer monet as to the satisfaction of their parents and the iufinite delight of the crowd sur rounding them. And it is a curious specta ole to see how these children, many mere in fants, are imbued with the spirit of acting which may be said to bo innate iu the file of an Italian. You will see the tiny erea- I lures tossing their arms about, shrugging ! their shoulders, and stamping their little feet ! with an empresswent reminding you of the | stage.— Winter in Home." 1 By Chas. Richard Weld. An Anecdote of Girard.— A gentleman ; from Europe purchased a bill of exchange j on Girard, to defray the expenses of a tom to this country. U was duly honored on | presentation ; but in the course of their tran- ; saetion it so happened that one cent remain- ' ed to be funded on the part of the European; and. on the eve of his departure from this country, Girard dunned him for it, The gen- ' tleman apologized, and tendered him a six and-a-quarter cent piece, requesting the dis- ! ference. Mr. Girard tendered him in change j five cents which the gentlemau declined to accept, alleging that he was entitled to an additional quarter of a cent. In reply Girard admitted the fact, but informed him that it i was not iu his power to comply, as the Gov j eminent had neglected to provide the frac- I tional coin in question, and returned the j gentleman the six. cent piece, reminding i him, however, in unmistakealile language j that he must still consider him his debtor ! for the balance unpaid—the ope cent. llow Professor Agassiz came to Start for Brazil.— lu a Lowell Institute lecture last week, the distinguished superintendent ot the Museum at the University, expressed a wish to visit the Andes that he mignt verify some of bis theories regarding the glaciers. Nathaniel Thayer, Esq , already a munifi cent benefactor of the college, was present, and has since proposed to Professor Agassiz to go to South America, offering to pay his expenses aud those of as many assistants as he may choose. The professor gladly availed himself of the offer, and will start next week, probably from New York, taking with him eight young meu, students, and assis tants. He will go direct to Rio Janeiro, aud examine the mountaiu raugeß in the south ern part ol Brazil and in the neighboring provinces. His further course we have not learned, but we understand that bis westward trip may extend as far as the base of the Andes. The visit will be of incalculable benefit to science, and to the great enterprise at Cam bridge in which the proiessor's whole heart is engaged, as thousands of specimens will be collected and sent home from time to time,'tind valuable information obtained re garding them. It is probable that this ex cursion will cost no* less than $20,000. Boston Traveller .

's death ! These are the oaib6 of former generations, and are ahreviations of “God’s blood” and “God s death.” Zounds, which is used even now, signifies “God'6 wounds,” or “By God s wounds.'’ od Zooks, another similar ex pression, means “God’s Looks,” as we would say in these modern days, “the countenance of God.” Flora Temple is to trot again in May on the Fashion Course, L. 1.
