Ollii NEW YOKE LETTEU. New York, Dec. 5. Winter has at last arrived, and its advent yesterday was indeed a pleasant one, and it tin: bright skies, genial sunshine and clear atmosphere is an augury o! the coming season, we shall have what the poor will be thankful for, viz-: an open and comfortable winter. Not a flake of snow has yet rested ou the ground in this immediate vicinity, and we have yet to ex perience that vnrified state of the atmosphere which sends the blood tingling over om’ssys-" tern and I lie thermometer down to zero. Skat placid and uneongealed surface more favor ers walcli their ponds only, as yel, to find a able for boating than eurleycuing ou “ the irons," while the stubby youngsters who de light in coasting, in vain watch the clouds as they skim through the air, in hopes of a dropping of the fleecy substance over which tlie little ones desire to slide on their bran new sleds, while young misses sigh like lur naces for the forthcoming sleigh rides, with the accompanying “suuggliugs," etc. Files are again of frequent occurrence. We only had four yesterday, and last night a very destructive one occurred ou State street, lYoutiiig the Battery. Three or four large I loaded warehouses were entirely consumed hv this latter casualty, and over seven thou sand . hales of Colton destroyed, besides a large quantity of other merchandize. There were also some seven or eight firemen killed by falling walls, and the largesix story build ings of yesterday now are a mass of smoking ruins. The loss by this flic is over two mil lion dollars. Re t v e nc- li in e u t in government employment has commenced in earnest here. Some twenty five hundred men were discharged from the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, yesterday, many of whom will doubtless soon make their way South in search of employment or to settle upon such small patches of laud as they are able to purchase. There is said to he quite a de mand for carpenters, blacksmiths, and build ers South, and many men who have been laboriug for Uncle Sam here will doubtless turn up iu Southern latitudes where their energy will soon develope the laud and en rich themselves. Kate ut ion. have taken place in New Jersey and iu Buf falo, which, from their accompanying cir cumstance's, must lurnish additional aigu ments to those opposed to capital puni-h --ment. At the execution itt'New Jersey, the culprit, who had murdered his wife, was humbly penitent, and prayed fervently tor his soul upon the scaffold, while not far dis tant, noisy meu and women were gaping in admiration (?) of the awful scene, smoking and drinking meanwhile, and turbulent hoys were [icddliug the murderer s ‘‘dying confes sion.’’ At Buffalo, the condemned fairly danced upon the scaffold, ami lielpeil the exe cutioner adjust the rope, and in a loud voice Imde the multitude to “sec how a brave Dutchman can die,” and then kicked himself into the world on the other side of the Styx specially prepared for murderers. Add to this the fact, that when Witz was swung off hundreds of soldiers and citizens actually cheered him into the presence of the Devil, and there is not much argument to advance ■against life incarceration. Tlie Pai ili«' Fleffst ■whiffl left Fortress Monroe about a month or six weeks aj-u, has been beard ot to-day. Tin: Tuscarora arrived at St. Thomas on the 10th of November and sailed agaiii on the •-'lst. The Vanderbilt, Mouuduock and Fowhattan all sailled on the 13th from Bt. Thomas for Cayenne. They will probably reach San Francisco about the last ot March, as they will stop at several ports on the route. That there is in tuture to he a good fleet kept, on the Pacific coast is now beyond question, and American interest in that quar ter will not be allowed to suffer in this re spect. General Scott is about to leave for New Orleans and Key West. He will pass the winter in these „places for the benefit ot his health, which is "techie, though he still preserves the erect carriage ami military air of his younger days. Surgeon Lewis Taylor, United States Army, has been relieved from duty to accom pany General Scott to his destination and re main as loug as his services are required by the old hero, after which he will report tor duty at Fort Taylor, Key West. I believe the General will sail to day, and there is a possibility of bis visitiDg Savannah. ♦ The Napoleon Oil Company swindle has eotue to an end. On the case going to the jury they rclurned a Verdict of over $9,000 lor the plaintiff. This is the last that will be heard ot oue more of the bogus oil compa nies. There are plenty more yet to be cleaned rail, for hardly one in fitly ot the many petroleum companies inexistence, have any substantial foundations. A Tobacco Convention lias just been held in this city aud resolutions adopted requesting the removal of the gov ernmeut tax from the inauufkctured article lithe raw material. Statistics laid before the body showed the receipts at the Department * Washington from tobacco, cigars, &c., for the year ending June 3t), 1805, at $11,383,-' •it Htj. The whole number of cigars return ed was 510,087,021, and number- of pounds "t tobacco' ‘J1i,(i52,422. If it will make any improvement in (lie quality of the execrable cigars now to he found everywhere, it is ear nestly to be hoped the Convention may suc ceed in their object. City Railroads. It has been decided by the Court of Ap peals, are not liable to municipal taxation. C'rime In N«w Y«rk.

We presented Monday an outline of the Annual lte|>ort of t(je Secretary of the Treas uiy, our limits precluding us from offering such comments aud explanations as that im portaut document suggested The Secre tary divides his report iuto three principal divisions: 1. The Currency. 2. The Public Debt, and 3. The Revenue, in which order we shall follow him. Mr. McCulloch commences by admitting that C'ougress has no constitutional right to “authorize the issue ot obligations lor a cir culating medium as money, aud to make these obligations a legal tender.” The au thority cauouly be found, he thinks, in “the unwritten law, which sanctions whatever the representatives of the people, whose duty it is to maiutaiu the government agaiust its enemies, may consider in a great emergency necessary to be doue.” This brings the ex ercise of the power withiu the law of neces sity. Theie is’ only one kind of necessity that may uot violate the letter, but does the spirit of the Constitution, and that is military necessity. Congress may suspend the writ of habeas corpus during war, and establish a military dictatorship. Financial necessity is unknown to the Constitution. If it is such a necessity as requires revenue for warlike expenditure, the resource of tax ation or that of loans is at hand, both of which may be exercised by Congress to an unlimited extent. Mr. McCulloch very pro perly condemns the exercise of the power to issue obligations, making them a legal tender longer than necessity will justify. The objections he urges ou the score of expediency against the employment of United Stutea notes, as money is beyond denial, namely, that they are not sufficiently flexible, “increasing aud decreasing, according to the requirements ot legitimate business, but would be quite likely to be governed by the necessities of the Treasury or the interests of parties rather than the demands of com merce and trade.” The other reasons he urges against “ the direct issue of Uuited States notes as money, us a policy, is the fact” that “the government of the United Slates is one of limited aud definite powers, aud that the authority to issue notes as money, is neither expressly given to Con gress.nor fairly to he inferred." Euteriain ing these opinions, Mr. McCulloch concludes, “that the issue of Uuited States notes as lawful money was expedient and neces sary iu the great emergency in which it was adopted, but as the emergency no longer ex ists, that the legal tender provisions of the act referred to should be deemed only tem porary in their character, and that although their immediate repeal would be unwise, as being likely to affect injuriously the business of the country, the work of retiring the notes whicli have bei n issued under them should be commenced without delay, and carefully and persistently continued until all are re tired.” “In speaking of the legal tender acts, reference has only been made to those which authorize the issue of Uuited Stales notes. 'flie interest-bearing notes whicli are a legal tender lor their face value, were in tended to be a security rallier than a circu lating medium, and it would be neitl er inju rious to the public uor an act of bad laith to l lie holders for Congress to declare, tha*, after their maturity, they shall cease to boa legal tender, w hile such a declaration would aid the government in its tfforls to retire them, and is therefore recommended.” Tha Secretary thinks there can be no dan ger in contraction, unless it is violent. “La bor,” be says, truly, “is the great source' bf national wealth, aud industry iuvariably de clines on an iullated currency; even the toim ot the precious tuetuts may u..t prove wealth to a nation. The idea that a country is ne cessarily rich iu proportion to the amount ot gold and silver which it possesses, is a com iuon and natural, but an erroneous oue, while the opiuiou that real property is advanced by an iucrease of paper money b yond wbat is absolutely needed as p medium of exchanges of real values, is totally laliaeious." We would hero observe, not as a correc tion, but iilustratiou aud confirmation of this doctrine, that it is not strictly line, that a country is “not necessarily rich in proportion to the amount of gold aud silver which it possesses.” If the United States imports from California titty millions of dollars an nually, aud twenty millions are more than is absolutely necessary as a medium ot ex change, the superfitrx of twenty millions constitutes a portion of its wealth, a9 much as what it retains for circulating medium and ior plate and ornaments, for it may be ex changed tor foreign productions of an equal amount and value; nor is it quite correct to affirm “that money stimulates productive in dustry.” We must here distinguish between value ntui price. Tb e general rise ot Vnines is impossible, aijsuch rise is a contradiction in terms. The increase of commodities, one with another, implies a change in their rela tive or exchange value—an increase in the value of some, and fall in the value of others. But an increase of money, paper or metallic, commodities having undergone no change one with another, is tantamount to an in crease of purchasing power, and is not in compatible with a general rise ot prices. The effect, however, ot an augmeutatation of the circulating medium, consisting ot an irre deemable paper money, is merely nominal. Tbe increase of mousy ot this kind can have no effect in “stimulating productive indus try.” This leads Mr. McCulloch, by a natural transition,to the subject of Natioual balances, remarking very justly, “that when there are no artificial obstacles in the way of bal ances between nations are promptly settled, the flow of coin from oue to the other pro duces hut little embarrassment to the debtor nation- The nation lhat loses coin either diminishes its purchases, or by a reduetionof the prices ot its commodities which the loss occasions, becomes a more inviting market than before, aud by attracting furebasers, reverses the current and draws again to itself the coiu ot which it has been deprived.” Mr. McCulloch recognizes the fact that on a coin basis, there may he periods of expan sion. He notices two such periods, 1835 aud 1 a tt;. ending with the terrible collapse of 14*37, and the financial crisis of 1857,- “the result ot a similar cause, namely, the unhealthy ex tension el the various torms of credit.” At both these periods the business oi the couu tiy was conducted on a specie busis. The Secretary on ibis branch ot his subject con nects with it u statement of importance, namely, the Bank note circulation, louus aud deposits at various periods previous to the war from 1830 to IBffo, At the latter of those periods the former was $207,102,000, while the lmuk deposits aud loans at the same periods ure given.

S. securities) to 913.U5.929 Their chealaliou.lt). 196,oOu I #ui> By the above itaL-Rtent trom what source could their loans and discounts have been derived if not from their deposits ? This ex - plains the fact noticed by Mr. McCulloch.that as gold has fallen, rents and prices nenerally have been advancing. While the dnhiuisbed paper issues of the Government leuded to produce a fall of prices the extensitm of credit by the banka was producing an opposite efft ct. To this extension of credit we must assigu the largest share ot the effect on prices. Their issues are less than could have been absorbed by the requirements ot hHsiness, and are lit tle more than the bauk iioiiOy Uvultaitui of 1860. The employment of thetr deposits in loans and discounts explains rest. It is a well known principle that the lUfiuencc of credit, mi its various forms, ou prices is much more powerful than paper money in periods of speculation- The contraction of the cur rency might have proceeded at any conceiva ble rate without effect while the banks, by the agency of credit, in ’the form oi bills of exchange, cheques, and book debt 9 were ex panding their credits, so as to have kept up prices. It Was so in the crisis of 1835-36 and in that of. 1857 most decidedly. It is by overlooking the influence of credit on prices that their inflation has been attributed too exclusively to the over-issues of the Govern ment. A restraining power is much more necessary as regards the action ol the banks than the action of the Treasury- The pub lic attention has been concentrated ou the dangers of a too sudden contraction of the currency. The source of mischief will be found iu the 100 sudden contraction of credit by the National banks. We have no space left to make such comments on the Report of the Secretary of the Treasury on tho ■ I'-üblic Debt and Revenue, but shall resume the con sideration ot those topics in our next. Disorder in Augusta. —The Constitution alist of the 9th contains in account of the fa tal shooting of a colored soldier by a police man of that city of the name of Thos. Olive. Tne Constitutionalist says: “Persons acquainted with Mr. Oliye speak of him in high terms, as being a sober, hon est and inoffensive citizen. From what we learn, the soldier was very disorderly, and Mr. Olive attempted to arrest him, whereupon, he made a move as if to draw a weapon, when Mr. Olive fired two shots, the first missing and the second taking effect in the head, causing instant death. This unfortunate affair caused great excite ment among the colored soldiers in our midst, who with fixed bayonets aqd loaded muskets paraded £p and down Broad street, swearing vengeance and threatening to ar rest and kill all policemen. They arrested some of the police and took pistols from cti izens. The unoffending police were alter wards discharged and the pistols ordered to be returned to their owners The same paper of the 10th iost. chroni cles the lollowing FIENDISH AFFAIR. An old industrious aud inoffensive citizen was shot iu the head yesterday afternoon, in his store til the corner ot Kollock and Broad streets, by a young man named John Luke. The uffaii, us related to us, 19 that Luke wanted to take a bundle of fodder from the store of Mrs. McDermott without paying for it Mr. Casey, the father of Mis. McDer mott, too, would not allow him to lake the fodder, wheu Luke deliberately drew a pis tol, shot him in the forehead, and ran up Brosd street. Fortunately, the ball glauced, making an ugly but uot fatal wound. Some citizens immediately started after the cul prit, and after u long chase, captured and carried him to the Court Rouse, from whence he was transferred to jail. The age and infirmity of Mr. Casey, as well as his iuofieusive manner should have protected him from being the victim of such an outrage. Mr. Casey is nearly eighty years of age. THE CASE OF MR. OLIVE. Mr. Thomas Olive was arraigned before a Military Commission yesterday for the mur- Tier of a Uuited States colored soldier aud pleaded uot guilty. The cuse was continued until Monday morning. A Letter from General Lee. A public meeting was held at the court house iu Staunton, Va., last Monday, to con sider and inaugurate a plan to uid in raising an additional endowment for Washington College, Lexington, Va. The lollowing let ter from General Lee was read : Lexington, Va., November 22, 1865. My Dear Colonel: The frieudsof Washing ton College are making efforts to advance its usefulness and to elevate it to the position of other institutions of the present day. For many years it has stood still, content to dis pense in a quiet way its benefits to the youth of the neighboring counties, while other col leges, witli enlarged means, have been en abled to keep pace with the progress of science, civilization and improvement. I am aware that you are acquainted with the design of the Board of Trustees to ex tend the course of studies so as to promote the education of the industrial classes aud fit them for the several pursuits of life, and have promised your generous aid. But I wish to ask, also, your influence with others, in ex tending the knowledge of the project of the board und giving it the weight of your ap proval and encouragement. The citizens of Virginia are accustomed to see your undertakings prosper, and have confidence in wbat your judgment approves. Should they know that your sympathy aud assistance ure engaged in behalf of the col lege, its friends will be encouraged to per severe. With much respect, your obedient servant, R. E. Lea. Colonel M.
