Immediately a bus* and hum of suppressed Voices broke forth among the numerous auditors in the galleries, and there was a rush to get in favorable position* for a good view of the military hero. The Senators one by one approach ed the General and warmly shook him by the hand. For a time he was surrounded by admiring friends, and the business of the Senate was almost suspended during his reception. Gen. Thomas came her* on of ficial business, and it is said he will remain for the next coming week. Gen. Sheridan, Meade and Thom- as are all ordered here to torn a military convention of affaire in the several departments. CiTTUMD COXZOH STATISTICS. Tha records of the Treasury Department show that from March, 1883, up to August 1866, abandoned and captured cotton valued at $6,744,000, was (sized by the government in the Mississippi valley. Of this amount $3,300,000 have been paid into the department ; the remainder having been transferred to the original owners of the cotton, which, to that amount had been improperly seized. For the fiscal year ending June, 1866, tb* mint and branch mints of the United State* coined $32,819,248 64 in gold, silver and copper coins. TKEFABDOH BSOKSBAOE CASE AT WAlStHOTOH. Washington, Jen. 27—The trial of General Baker before the Circuit Court has developed some interest ing facte in relation to the detective system end par- from the testi- detailed by placed at the dis posal of Gen. Baker, and directed to act under his or- ders. He was introduced to Mr*. Cobb, the plaintiff, as Oept. Howell, an ex-Confedsrate officer, who was seeking for e pardon. She told him that she had great facilities for getting pardons, but would not inform him what Influence the had used. Lieut. Hines drew up a statement, signed as Clarence J. Howard, and af fixed a spurious magistrate’s certificate, and presented it to Mrs. Cobb, who informed him anything oould be done with money. A contract was entered into and pardon was procured. The money paid to her had been marked, and this was found on her person and taken from her. Witness acknow ledge* that he made » false statement to her. During the proceedings Judge Hughes, as counsel for Mrs. Cobb, said it was a conspiracy to break up a legitimate business. These Self-constituted, guardians of the honor of the Government induced the lady to do the very thing they professed to be anxious to break up. Even a thief cannot be convlted if money Is placed in his way by conspirators to entrap him, and the con spirators are justly execrated, and General Baker and his co-conspirator, a man who made a false and fradu- lent paper, acknowledge it waa such, and forged a ma gistrate’s certificate, need not put on a look of dignity and talk to me. The days of bullying are passed, and the courts of justice are wide open, and oppressors and midnight assassins must come under the law, and deeds must be known. These remarks were followed by applause, which was suppressed by the court, and the Marshal was directed to clear the room if it wa* re peated. AN COLT FHNIAN RUMOR. New York, Jan. 27—Ons of the morning papers claims to have a dispatch from London by the last steamer, which says there Is au ngly rumor in offi cial circles. It Is said that the government has re ceived information of a Fenian conspiracy to blow up public buildings It Is asserted that the custom house has been undermined, ahd that the Hume Secretary has instructed the chief of the London fire brigade to adopt precantionary measures. The cus tom house, government house, and other public buildings are to be carefully guarded. From this continued panic two resnlts will enane ; Ireland will be practically placed under martial law, and a de finite demand be made at Washington for the sup pression of public Fenian demonstrations In the United Slates. THE BAGDAD SCRAPE—THE EXPECTED EVACUATION BT THE FRENCH. Letter* from Brownsville give detailed accounts of the recent capture of Bagdad. The capturing party was composed of a miscellaneous crowd of merchants, sutlers, clerks, adventurers and idlers, who appear to have engaged 1b the affair as a good piece of sport, and though It Is believed there were among the captors aome United States soldiers, every one of them was present on the other side of the river to answer to his name at roll call on the next morning. According to these accounts, the capture was planned and executed without the knowledge of either Gen. Escobedo, Gen. Crawford, or any other chief of great renown. The Paris cerrespondence of the Independence Beige says It Is kuown that the entire French Minis try were in favor of the evacuation of Mexico, and It Is rumored that at the laat council they obtaiued from the Emperor a promise to send no new troops to Mexico. Tlte assertion is also added that the speech from the throne will make mention of the projected evacuation. SENTENCE OP THE OTEBO MURDERERS. New Yobe, Jan- 27.—Gonzales and Pellicer, the murderer* of Otero, were sentenced, by Judge Gilbert, to be hanged on the 9th day of March next. The prisoners received their sentence without any emo tion. ASTOUNDING ROBBERY. New York, Jan. 27—Police officer StUlges, of the eighth precinct, wa* on duty in Carmine street yes terday morning, when a man dressed in police uni form came to hipi, and told Rim that he had been de tailed to arrest a counterfeiter, and the assistance of the patrolmen would be required. Shortly after, the porter of the Greenwich Savings Bank, named Thomas Quinn, came by with a tin box on his arm, containing $3,000 in money, and he*waa at once arrested, making a alight resistance—the bogus officer slapped a pair of handcuff* on Quinn’s writ, and bade the regular pat rolman to take Mm to the itation-honae, while he proceeded to headquarter* and reported the arrest. Thi* was dona, the strange man making his escape with the box and its contents. It is stated the cash box taken from Quins contained $60,000 in bills, and $4,600 in checks. MISCELLANEOUS despatches.

PRICE, 5 CENTS., OUR NEW YORK. LETTER. New Yobe, Friday evening, Jan. 26.1866. CABJUTALS are the rage hereabouts. Not content with indoor amusements and masquerades, our young folks now- e-day* adjourn to the skating ponds and play fantastic tricks on skates by the ray* of Drummond lights, fire works, blue-light*, Chinese lanterns and fhney.torches. A Bal Masque on lee is literally on* of the “big things on ice” which delight* our true fun-loving Snicksr- bockar. They had one the first part of this weak at the aristocratic skating park of the city, on Fifth A Venn*, where the dreeaes were of the most unique and costly character, and where the elite of this island were pre aent in "tremengua” fworee." The snob hobbled around on hla skates like a broken-legged grasshopper, much to the amusement of soma of Ida much better- skating female friends, whose sarcastic cachination* and remarks did not teem to ait well on the wealthy bat half-scared male biped. ' It la jolly fun to see aome of these dapper, beatudded, eye-glasaed, spindle- shanked geniuses in their expensive skating suits, try to propel themselves along, and squally jolly Is ttto witness their impotent rage rt being badgered by some ragamuffin on a two-shillin’ pair of skates, with “a let ter in the postofflee” fluttering behind, glance and fly around our shaky parlor hero. THE CHOLERA is folly expected to arrive here next spring, and from the immense heaps of now frozen garbage and filth in some of our street*, it would seem as if the pestilence waa to be formally proffered the “freedom of the city," Our Legislature has had A debate on the subject, and have passed resolutions requiring the general govern ment to give tiie State the use of the hulls of vessels to be anchored off Bandy Hook, and also a donation of land on the Hook on which to erect hospital buildings. The Government ha* once refused or declined so to do, but it is thought more notice will be taken of an official request made to Congress. Something cer tainly should be done. A NEW SENSATION was experienced by New Yorkers on Broadway yester day, and many held np their hands either in wonder ment or in silent thanksgiving. The idea of employ ing street laborers to clear the gutters on the ere of a threatened thaw is something heretofore unknown hereabouts, although many of our citizens have read of such things in other citlee. Consequently the pre tence of a force of these fellows, with their shovels, industriously at work, drew forth many admiring plaudits from our community, with many a boolean upon a Mayor who has the fortitude to exhibit a little regard few the welfare of the city. OUR TIGER BALL cam* offleat night, and the young ’’tigers” are fully and quiescently satisfied. Their annual ball is always down on the list of a large number of our best people, and there are families here who can, and do exhibit the “order of dances" which have been enjoyed for a long series of years. The affair took place laat night at the Academy of Music, and the traditional old tiger looked down in cairn repose upon the mimic camp and the gay throng of dances below. Boston and many othsr cities weer represented, the dark uniform of the old Boston Tigers bringing to the minds of some of us trimountain natives many a “ewell parade” np State street and on Boston Common. The ladies present seemed to consider the “growls” of their tiger beaux as exceedingly pleasant, judging from the attention paid them during a too short evening of enjoy ment. THE LIBERALITY of our merchants has besn put to a test the past week, and the comparisons made between that exhibited by them and their brother merchants in Boeton, has caused some little feeling. Two of our Sandy Hook pileta, at the imminent risk of their lives, and even when all others of their calling dared not follow their example, were instrumental in saving all the lives of those on board the wrecked steamer Mary Boardman, during the storm of s fortnight sgo. One of the brave fellows was not even s fall licensed pilot, being only a boat-keeper, although fully competent to fill that posi tion, but too poor to buy a commission. At last, how ever, some of our business men have started a sub scription for them, and their bravery will probably now be as handsomely rewarded as they can wish.— Such acknowledgement by the public is always oom- mendable, and stimulates like bravely in future perils. \ FUNNY DISPUTE occurred on Wed-esday at our Produce Exchange be tween one of tbe largest Ohio farmers and a Scotch man then present The latter averred that there was not a farm out wc^t that could compare with one be longing to a relative in Ayrshire, Scotland. The Ohioan very naively remarked that, from hia observation of Scotland while traveling over it, he should judga that if the whole country waa buried a foot deep under the beet Chilean guano it could not raiBe a bushel of this- tie-seed to the acre i The laugh was on the Scotch man, who subsided. The same Ohioan was subse quently tackled by a former native of New Hampshire, who claimed great credit for the industry of the far mers of that sterile State. “Ob, yes,” said Ohio, “ they are mighty hard-working people, but as com pared with the fruitfulness of Ohio, you might mow New Hampshire with a razor and rake it with a fine tooth comb, and you would not get enough to keep a sick grasshopper alive for a week.” The feme of his native State will never suffer at tbe bands of that Ohioan. THE VIGILANCE CUfXITTXK at Tiutsville Is evidently making itself felt even hereabouts. During the past week quite a number of geninses who are well known to the police have suddenly turned up here, after an absence of a few months In the oil regions. True, the respectable portion of the community never seemed to miss them much, or mourn over their departure, bat their pre sence here again has led to a renewal in many places of the old signs of “ beware of pickpockets,” and “ look oat for well dressed gamblers.” Not only is this class of people averse to visiting the oil regions at present, but may people who claim respectability, and who have been mixed up in fictitious oil com pany swindles show a decided propensity, avoid a trip oil ward, for fear oi meeting some of their dopes in that looallty. EMIGRANTS TO FBOBIDA are quite numerous. There is hardly a Savannah steamer leaves this port but takes a number of enter prising men and their families, en route for that State, where they propose settling. They are from all parts of the country, not a few being from this vicinity. Moat of them are people who have either previously visited and purchased or leased lands, who will add much to theintelligence, enterprise and industry of that fertile region, and nearly all have buaineaa connectiona wilh this city. lVaiblxsgtois College—•General Lea Makes a Speech. General R. E. Lee arrived in Richmond on the 11th and went to the private houae of a friend. Hla busi ness waa to confer with the Virginia Educational Com mittee. This conference took place the next day, and la thus reported in the. Enquirer : “The Committee on School* and Collages met again yesterday morning rt half-part nine o'clock, in the Firat Auditor's office. Bolivar Christian, ona of the Board of Trustee* of the Washington College, present ed a memorial, showing the present condition and in debtedness of the College. “He stated that In 1790 the State of Virginia offered to General Washington one hundred shares of the old James River Company, but that good and great man refused to accept it except as a donation to the cause of education in this college. This donation is valued at $50,000, and the interest on it amounts to $8,000. This interest has been paid np to January 1st, 1866. “Washington College also holds the amount of $25,668 in State stocks, donated by the surviving officer* of the Revolution. The Colleges also holds $13,100 worth of guaranteed bonds in the James River and Kanawha Company, Which was donated to It by the late John Robertson. The College has received the Interest on tbe Investments up to 1866, and la now greatly In need of what la due. The College also owned about $16,000 worth of bank stock, which waa destroyed. “The tuition fees have heretofore been required in advance, but the professors have, at this session, ad mitted many students on credit. By this act of indul gence the professors are compelled to retort to the In terest due from the State for their salaries. “General B. E. Lee, President of tbe College, then made a few remarks He bad bnt little to add to what Mr. Christian had said. There were about one hun dred students at the college this session. The build ings have all been repaired, the federal army having left nothing scarcely but the walls. All the philoso phical and chemical apparatus had been destroyed tv the same party, bnt had been replaced by the authori ties of the college. The money used In repairing the buildings and restoring tbe apparatus had been bor rowed on tbe expectation of receiving this interest to pay It back. “Gen. Lie lookeljremarkably well, and waa the cen- r of attraction. Soma of me gentleman present, who, we suppose, had never seen the General before, seemed so much gratified’ that we thought they would never stop smiling. The committee, in mush good taste,hook a little re cess to pay their respects to the man who had shown by hia deed* and sacrifice* that he was their friend through choice, and amid all the most trying adversi ties 'After Gen. Lee concluded, Dr. Ewell, of William and Mary College, presented a petition.” Interview of the Pennsylvania Democratic Committee with the Presiding—a despatch from Washington says: 'A delegation of the democratic party of PeiMJ.- vanla, headed by Mr. Wallace, chairman «f tbe exe cutive committee, and composed or all Its member* R. Vaux, Col. Davida,'and others—were Introduced to the President on Saturday by Hon 8. Randall. The chairman briefly stated that the motive of their visit was to offer to the government at this crisis their hearty and loyal rapport. “If you come to me as patriots,” said the Prealdent, “I feel It may count on the support you offer; but if as partixana only, it U more doubtful, a* I shall not swerve from my senae of duty for party men or party object*.” He then went on to explain his views of the political situation m terms so frank, eloquent and decided, as to astonish every one present. The result of tbe interview was simply to malm an entbSBHWtle John son man.of. every member of the. rooubitts, who pledged unconditionally the entire vote of tbe party to the Executive policy, as he understood it” —The patriotic entertainment at Augusta, the pro ceeds of which were devoted to ratting a monument to tbe "hero dead” of that city, was a brilliant success. -Major General Terry, at Richmond, baa issued an order investing Superintendents of the Freedman’* Bureau with power* of Provost m-—n»i« eJWIHL, m mu o * *- 155 Bay Street, Sarsuaak.
