WiKfßoi’smrx in this city and Hamborg will
oblige us by having their stock cf Cotton on band
carefully counted at au early hour this morning.
The Kiver, yesterday afternoon, was at twenty
five feet six inches, and rising slowly, bavirrg risen
twenty-feet six inches in twenty four hours—indi

On the 14th icet., the Ci’y Council of Augusta
passed the satj dried preamble and resolutions,
which we re-publish for the purpose of calling the
attention of those interested to the subject:
W hereas, the (x sneion of railroads, now in
progress and recently chartered, may prove detri
mental to the business interests ol the city unless
pome action is taken to counteract the supposed
effects; therefore bo it
Resolved, That ilia City Council of Augusta will
co operate with any corporations or individuals in
building a read connecting Macon with some con
venient point on the Georgia Railroad, or to build
a road from that city to Macon.
Reso.ved, I bat a Committee cf Conference,
consisting of one raembsr from each Ward, and the
Mas» r, be appointed for that purpose.
The following Committee were appointed as
called for in tae above resclu ion :—Messrs. Miller,
May, Sledge and Foster.
The advantages of this road have been so thor
oughly dis -ussed years ago, in cur columns, that we
need not repeat the irgumet 1 1 of its advocates.
Our ot j set i* simply to call the attention of the
pe >p’e along the lias, who are to deeply interested,
to tne subject, and to admonish them that now is the
time to go to work in earnest to build the road. Our
people are now thoroughly aroused to the import
ance f the road, and if the planters along the line
exhibit a corresponding spirit, the road wni be built
at an early day.
Senator Seward —ahe Irish, Germans and

“During tbs dt-OBseion in the House this morn

A Democratic Bai.l is Italy.— The Florence
co*rtsj oi dent of the Newark Advertiser gives an
aoo juct of the grand tail given on Monday, Nov.
21, in the old historic palace of the Poggoi Impe
rials, (now Poggio Nationals.) At the ball, of
course, eome t liort was made to carry out the
democratic system which has obtained in the gov
ernment of the couniry. The introduction of the
the change in social affairs is tLus described :
“The music how enlivening, the dance how ani
mated ! But w bat a novel scene for Florence and
in a palace ! Here the titled ladies of the ministers
and me legations are dauc'ng on the eaune floor
whli tte wivee end daughters of lawyers mid mer

“One l our after midnight,Baron Rica3oli, chief
of the Provisional government arrives with hie
rt’l'o itis appearance io the figcal for the singing
■i patriotic hymn to the adopted Cross of Savoy, by
a choir ot some hundred voices in the great hall
below. The hymn and music were composed for
the tcca=ioi!, but the poetry is hardly worth trans
latiuiu, tin ugh appropriate and effective—as wpi
feU.O the'music —for the occa«’on. On making the
tour of the apartments— cv&r fifty rooms were
' ghted up—one heard English spoken everywhere ;
in f-.ct, it seenrsd as if Ball" ihe vest assembly was
composed of English and Americans. Among the
latter were decidedly the belles of the ball, some
nswiy arrived young American beauties, who seem
greatly to enjoy the admiration they excited. Cer
tainly most ol the beauty there was of the Anglo-
Saxon type.
“The Italians dance bet'er than any nation; even
the French admit this. The real ‘poetry of motion’
is in every curve they make. But the most grace
ft’! on this occasion were the young American resi
dents, who have learned to dance here, and add to
the refinement of the Florentine step the finer
proportions of more delicate feet than the fair
nat.ves cau boast. It is not surprising, in view of
the number ol Ameriuan beauties here this season,
that Italians should think our countrywomen the
handsomest in the world. When an Italian ie
handsome—a rare picture in these days—she is
surprisingly beautiful, though always of the nation
al type. Oniy at Venice does one find the Titian
beauty oi golden Lair and hazel eyes. No wonder
that these poetic attributes are so much admired in
Italy.”
Private letters (Km our countrymen now in So
nora represent the leeling against Americans as
more biiitr than ever, and the writers beseech their
trieuda to be cautious what they write tu reply, lest
it would involve them in trouble.

Auction Sales and Auction Goods,
The Southern people seem to be doomed to be
preyed upon by every possible device which can
be invented by the cupidity of the lower orders of
“manufacture/ s' 1 c f the North. Ceriaiuiy ru> re
spectable concern of the North would stoop to such
a nefarious system of swindling. But it ought to
be known by the South, that New Yotb abounds
in Mock Auction swindling shops; anti the Mayors
of that city have posted continually before their
doors large placards, ineeribed : “ Beware ot Mock
Auctions and Swindlers.” And whenever they can
catch these adroit rogues in a fraud glaring enough
to be complained of, the scamps are made to dis
gorge the money. New York is so well posted
about such shops that these fellows find it promo
tive of their interests to try the South ; which they
are note doing all over this part of the country with
astonishing success.
Now it ought to be known how these goods are
made, and what they are. I hate visited these
“Jewelry Manufactories” and can testify, that
there are numbers who moke such stuff expressly
for Auction Sales at the South. I speak from
knowledge, when I say that a five dollar gold
piece will make a barrel full of fine (!) breast pins,
ear-rings, lockets and full sets generally. So too
with their silver ware. Most of it is made of zinc,
and coated with the thinnest, possible layer of
silver. The whole thing is an intentional swindle
from beginning to end. Pindar’s razors were made
to sell and not to shave—this auction-made trash is
made to both sell and shave ; and made purposely
to do both, llow wonderfully verdant must a peo
pie be, who continue long to be thus made the
dupes ot such men.
See, too, the injustice perpetrated upon the regu
lar merchants of our cities. Ourcapital is invested
in our business, through all seasons we stay and
support the City, State and County governments .
but it certainly never was expected that we should
do so and have all the swindling shops of the North
as our opponen’s, who only manufacture such trash
to sell at the South during the business season, end
take away from us the only oppo;tunity we have
of making a living, after having paid taxes during
the whole summer, when business was a positive
expense. I say that the gross injustice of this thing
is pateut to every nitul. llow long ia it to be
eaaurcd ?
A petition to the City Council is uow in circula
tion in Augusta, praying that sems actio u be taken
in this matter protecting the mass of the merchants
of this city ; and while wo disclaim any auimoeity to
a legitimate auction business, we are opposed to its
present conduct on the grounds afore mentioned—
upon the principle that though all have the right to
kindle a fire, no man has the right to kiudie one
under hi? neighbor’s house. L.ast of all, to
burn out all Lis neighbors. Justice.

Meeting of ihc Faculty nod Stuilenta of the
.Hnlicd College of (aeorgiu.
A meeting was convened on Monday, Dec 26tb,
of the Faculty and Students of tbe Medical College
of Georgia, at the lecture room of the college, v/Lea,
on motion of Fros. L. A. Di -as, Frol' I. F. Garvin
wrs ca led to the chair, end W. S. Cannon request
ed to act es Secretary.
The Chairman, Fros. Garvin, biitfly stated the
object of the meeting to be for the purpose of • -
c riving and cordially welcoming to this cotie t a
number of medical students from Fbilade’pi, a,
who, in company with about three hundred others,
had left tbe North, and were determined to pursue
their studies at medical coi'egea in the South.
Dr. I). A Mathews, one of tbe gentlemen from
Fhilafe'phia, tfctn ar use, and addressed the Facul
ty and Students, iu subs anee as follows :
Gentleman of Iks Faculty of the Medical College
of Georgia: A.ow me the pleasure of introducug
to you this company of southern medical students ;
they are a band ot brothers— they are your broth
ers—they are my brothers. Having done me the
honor of introducing them here, I now ask to present
them to you. It is true, I did not have the pleasure
of marshal ing them iuto ranks in the city of Phila
delphia. I rose from a bed of sickness to come,
and found them already in raubs, earnestly desirous
of coming, and waiting for some one who knowing
you, gentleman, persona ly, could f eel authorised to
iDvire them to ?Le time-honored and hospitable
halls of the Medical College of Georgia. We have
acted auder a seme of duty to the Soufc ; no
motive prompted cThere Lave appeared iu the
northern newspapers many reports concern frig this
movement; most of these are erroneous. Much
has also been said about the arrest ot medical stu
dents and tln-ir treatment in Philadelphia. Our
motives for leaving were clearly expressed in the
resolutions passed at our meeting we
refer you, gentlemen, aud the southern public, t>
them as the hue exponents our feelings and our
motives.
It is true, the Philadelphia papers have said
much about the action of the Mayor and police
men towards southern students, and in relation to
various other things wiiich happened ;
but we bring no complaint—we made none when
we left—we make none now—and we assert that
those who have remained have no le.-s cau=<e of
complaint in these respect*, than we who have re
turned. We have been treated fully as well es
they.
If Philadelphia sees fit to arraign herself, she Las
full liberty. Let her bring forward her newspaper
editors, her stump orators, and her thousands of p'd
tatora. Let her make her own court—both judge
and jury; and self-arraigned, let her sentence.
She hes already done it; and her self pronounced
verdict is, “guilty, most guilty! * Why, then, need
we make any accusation 7
Let me tell you, our motives; they
were these : We believe it to be our duty to our
homes, to do all we could for the institutions of the
South, and for her prosperity, generally and eepe
ciaiiy, as physicians, to build up and encourage her
medical institutions. To do this, a Northern school
was not the place for us a moment longer, end a
momen* longer we would not remain.
I hope you wi'i allow me here to refer to a few
remaiks made lest Tuesday, at the Assembly build
ings in Philadelphia, ps they eiearly set foi h tbe
views I now wish to present Ithsneaid. Ido not
rise for the purpose of exciting the least enthusiasm
in this meeting I e ish to speak calmly on the
subject before us. We are cow enteiicg upon an
enterprise of the most momentous importance. A
totteriDg nation will gaze on our action this day.—
I say a tottering nation, because it is a people
druuk with excitement who are to witness our
movement on this occasion.
Some have pr< pleei d that, >n the conterrpVion
of such a dechled atd significnit deny nstratii n,
cui country wi 1 p-rt asunder; but I look fer no
such calamity, a* the result of tti i enterpiise On
ths contrary, I believe it will have am st mlutary
effect on our country. And here, gentlem-n, let
me repeat it ti day, I believe more than evir, that
our move has muc hto do with the destiny—the fu
ture o ntinuauce of tth Union. I kn >w that ac
ti ni speak louder thsn woidc; an i when we assert
our tights by actions, men wi‘l r spect them. I
believe it ie better far to act than to make spe chea,
pass resolution*, cr to bui'd pla'f ran. Ipa d then,’
while we make no complaint against the city of
Pi i adeiphie, or the respective Facu ! ies we repre
sent in this ime’ing, we bw declare our entire
confidence in the abundant cafadty cf southern
medical schco's to icstrrct us in the scienca cf med
isine. We can see no remon whatever why sou h
e:n medical etudmtr Bhould rngleot their home in
stitutions and come Noith. The institutions ( f tLe
South are well prepared to impart us i oat ruction.
Tbey are noble spirit d, lofty, and dignified, and
only need the patronage of her twn ans to m«ke
them appear dignified in the eyes of the world.
The South has the mat r a*, tin brain, Ihe energy;
and, 1 repeat it, a'l she asks is the patronage of .her
own people.
It Wes a-ked of us in Philsdelpbis, “Why can
you not wcit urt 1 t'ue present session is over, end
then act ?'* We replied, “ Became now is the time
ts it ik°, while southern mtn are ready. If vve
wait until you have g veil all these men oiolornp’,
they will haid'y do n.uch f>r southern ineti u'iors
when they le urn home; for it is well known that
phjsieieni are apt to recommend the .ns’itutions
in which they graduate to their tfli:e pup s and
friends generally. Eviry in in ii apt t» hold up'
f r bis alma mater. We do n t wirh to be boi nd to
the North by pny such influence.”
*,lt was comp'lained to me that we were acto
reshly, and that we were about to sfHict the ?•
cent, viz : the poor boarding-house women of I r
adelphia, and the medical fraternity. I say, in c
ewer to this complaint, and I hope I atn rot irreve
rent,‘‘Philadelphia, ‘the poor you always have with
you,’ f*rke care of them; but such a proposition of
southern medical studen’3 you have not always
with you, and, if we can prevent it, you shall never
have them with you again.” We, too, have poor
women in our southern cities that deserve our con
sideration and patronage. Let each of us, ia our
respective regions, take care of oar own poor. As
to the medical Faculties, we make no complaint
against them; no animosity but us in our bosoms
toward them; I would not wrongly withhold one
dime from their pockets; but wo cave southern
men fully a3 able and deserving, and we think it.
no more than right that our money should go to
them for instruction. I would not treat with irre
verence one hair of your Faculties’ heads , but
there are southern men whose hairs deserve our
reverenee more. I would not lift one laurel from
the brows of these men; but there are brows at
the South just as deserving, and we must crown
them.
Now, gentlemen, I am done. I would have remain
ed silent had I not thought that the South demands
your action aud mine, and that of every man in it,
to sustain her, 1 say let every roan examine the
subject for himself, and act accordingly. VVe have
already acted. We drat examined our eonacien •*??,
aud consulted our judgments, aud acted in accor
dance with their dictates. I believe tha* no man
among us has done otherwise.
As to the uitimate effect o! this move upon our
country, we have fully estimated, aud, we think,
rightly appreciated it. i am glad to toy that men
have coincided with us in this opinion wh.ee judg
ment is respected by the whole country. I allude
to many dot nguisbed gentlemen u«*’ in (..‘uiigm-s.
Though we dia not o:n>ult them tu this matter,
they say there can be no doubt that the t tic* t will
be salutary, by causing Northern men to respect
our right 1 ?, aud that it wi.l thus mere firmly ce
ment the Union. Gorl grant that if anything of
nationd importance should result from cur action,
above all things, may it be this! As I have just
said, we examined our conscience ou this subject,
and on its dictates acted. We did not consult
our parents, our guardians, or our friends. Tfcsy
were too distant Irom ua. On ibis account, many
of us, at tilst hesitated, and hare since had occa
sional emotions of doubt; but when stern duty
speaks to the hearts of Southern mm, and appeals
to their judgment tor their country’s sake, they
will ever act promptly, though Northern friends
may attempt to soothe ami Northern enemies
threaten. Aye, sustained by the conscious
ness of righ', even though tone Southern friends,
perchance our very fathers, may ha doubtful of
our course. On this confidence'we are with ycu
to-day; we are not all; otheisyetaie coming;
many more would have left with us, but they are
detained lor ressons mo t creditable to them as
Southern men ; it is the middle of the session, their
tiuances are low, they owe small sums to various
persons in the city and they await checks ; these
are worthy motives for their delay; we can only
regret their absence, and hope for their speedy
coming.
Many told me they would gladly come, but could
not pay their way at this time; they applied to
me tor money, but I was not preparea to assist
them ; I had refunded aud re’.i :quished the pro
ceeds of nav piivate class in order to come—l was
determined that no man should have cause to im
peach my character after my departure from Phila
delphia.
But, gentlemen, these are but private persona
incidents, which I only relate as the sincere evil
denoes of our strong determination to be among
you. Let me now, in conclusion, again piesent to
your cordial reception those friend* who Lave ac
companied me. Let me a-k tor them now that
kindnee? ana hrspitaiity which, in time past, has
bound me to you and to ycur beautiful city. That
warm reception, that open-hearted kindness, the
reliance in which Las cheered us all along our tedi
ous journey home, and which we new find verified
by this full attendance—thtso kind, approving faces,
these manitesiations of sympathy, tne echoes from
these very walls—all crying: • welcome to you,
our brothers—w.lcome home ! ’
Professor L D. Ford replied as fellows :
Mr. Chairman : How unexpected tb:.-assemblage
of the cllioera and students of ihe College. We had
suppo. i tbit the stiffness of this hall would have
been v. orokeu during the festivities of Christmas.
llov. far different are these circumstances from
those under which we are accustomed here to as
eemble. We are here, ti day, faculty and students,
to give our w- Rome to a body of southern medi
cal student j, abandoning a med c .1 c liege at the
North, iu the midst of ns course ot lectures, to come
home, aud in southern coheges to finish that course.
Tueac are a part of that turee li ndred e> utbeni
students who left the ciiy ut Philadelphia a. tiie
same moment. These, leaving many of their
fellows in the cily of Richmond, who are soon to
follow them—these have come on directly to us.
The circumotancts of their coming arc tied worthy
of note ; they bit before receiving tho-*e spontane
ous, patriotio, brotherly resolutions of sympathy
and ot iuvitation, parsed by the et,idents of this
college, a*3uring them o: a we come reception from
its tacuity; aud yet, they have come, nothing
doubting as to their reeep'ion at our hands. Au!
sir, they judged us by the warm, untiiiug instincts
of the true southern heart—'bey thus judged, that
their reception could be none other than warm,
free, and generous. In thus judging they Lave
hen.'red both themtelves and us—and you well
know sir, they judged us righ'ly.
Aud now, gentlemen, in befcaif of my associates
of the Faculty, a noble set of men with whom any
man would feel it au honor to te associated, I bid
you a hearty welcome to ycur Southern heme, and
to the Medical College of Georgia. Talk not to us
coldly of term? rs jet this much is nece sary : We
will exchange the tickets which -you have received
from jour Professors in Poilaueiphia, for onr own ;
the possession of these will entitle you to ail the
rights and privileges of our College, a.« it y. u Lad
here paid your dollars and cent *; ana by thb ar
rangement, we place ourselves in the honorable
position towards our Northern brother ProfetS 'i. ,
of doing vicarious y, their du'i s to you, which
circumstances have prevented them from tu tilling
The occasion fraternally prompt the qi>-ti< ii,
Why did you c ine ! In thanking him wh « yon
have made your organ of cnmruunicath u, fi>r ii,<*
high compliment paid to Southern Medical Col
leges, I <su by my baud on my heart and L neatly
declare my opinion, that the teaching in the Meai
cal College of G-orgia i«, iu all r spec's, equ*. in
value to that of any other college in tue Country,
av.d in some respects superior to ihat of many
Tot, it is not to be supposed tfia’ tics sentim-mt
moved you to this course. Nor aid we ever sup
pose that you were determined to this action t y
any dissatisfaction with the irea'in ml or with the
political opinions of any of your Northern Profes
sors. VVe know better; we know them to be gen
tlemen , we dare freely endorse them men in
capable of holding aud expressing objectionable
opinions upon those political questions in which
you, in common with the whole Southern country,
feel so vital an interest.
It cannot be cancealeJJt ought not, that your
ae’ion has been taken alone for pohtiea! reasons.
We recognize this act as a part ot that swelling]
Bulging iudignali n, which hr s gone forth from ;he
universal Southern country as irotn the bosoar of
one man —felt by every Southern man upon North
ern soil, and even there demand ng manly u'tf rrt.ee
—indignation at ’he invasion of the holy rights of
our bearth-Btones and of onr very lives, by those
calling themselves our fellow citizens and brethren.
We hesitate nit in our judgment upon your aot.
Yon did nobly well. la these dark Hires, when
men’s minds are agitated with fearful political
possibilities, yoc did mot honerabiy, Hke true
(Southern men. in iis’autly coming back to that
portion of your common oouatiy, to which, under
th«ss circumstance - *, you owed y* ur first allegiance
to that coun’ty witch gave you birth, which nur
tured you in its bosom, whose glowing sun has
burned int o you a genial, generous constitution—
you did well, thus to return to your In m-p, either
amid quiet scenes to s udy, nr, if needs be, to
fight. ’
You did slid better by this act, in doing the best
for the best interest of j’our common country—
that country, which, iu the unbroken integrity,
stands forth the light of the world—the biightest
hope of the enthralled nations of the earth—the
last hope of humanity for the realization of rational,
permanent, civil government. *
Thie dteliive action of the ueble three bundled
will have done more for the perpe:nation of the
Union than folios of resolves from the Legislatures
of every Southern State; it speaks to those great
conservative mnses of onr Northern-bretnren,
demanding them to rise, in their strength, and put
down among themselves that handful of wild ia
natics, who are ready to desolate our homes with
fire aud sword.
Dr. A. S. Johnson, of Florida, in behalf of the
medical class, aaid :
Southern Students from Ike Medical Colleges of
Philadelphia— Gentlemen :—Upon your recent ar
rival here among us, al ow me on (his occasion, in
behalf of the present elr is of the Medical College of
Georgia, to congratulats you tor that tiue nor thorn
sp rit which so grandly chara' teihed your decorous
departure fi urn the uncongenial c inr.e of a southern
professional brotherhood; end arto for that wisdom
you have manifested in so commendable a manner,
in giving choice to a southern solool to complete
your < -urse of medical instruction.
In mpliance with a long continued, aud not
unusu custom of southern man, tiom the purest
motives of interest, to wit: for the sake of proses
sione’ acquirementr, being induced by the reported
superior facilities of northern schools, you innocent
ly gave patronage to those you considered brothers
of one common countiy. You have beeu de
ceived, i jrrowfully, ; idiy deceived. Instead of
that common politeness due strangers from any
clime, end especially that kindness due brothers
of a distant common country you have leeeived
nothing ea from the vet / uiomt nl of your arrival
there, per! aps, but the cutting insults of Abolition

They have insulted you iu their halls, iu their
pulpits, and in their street, es if you were at ail
responsible for the peculiarities of southern insti

brotherly; instead of aggravating'those evil ten’
dsneiea which threaten our Union aud our peace
forever, by the Lke niggardly and deitardly retorts
upon them for their groß3 iueulis, you have bidden
them a quiet arteu, and sought refuge and a native
asylum in southern schools.

gentlemen, that you occupy, by this very act of
your recent movements in the North, a still higher
place than ever, in our affections. R*st you, toe,
gentlemen, that we do not offer you the mere for

spontaneous ou'gush of southern sympathies, gen

The Medical College of Georgia is big enough,

W. S. Cannon, Secretary
Department Reports.
We are compelled to confine ourselves to the
following brief synopsis of the annual statements of
the Post-Master General, and Secretaries of War,
Navy, and the Interior:
Wak Department— The Secretary of War re
pert that w hile iho authorized strength of the Army
is 18 1 fid, the num! er iu July last was only 17,498;
and 11.000 of that number were alone available lor
service in the field. Small as it is, the force has
been required to man about 130 permanent gairi
-eons, posts and camps, scattered over an area of
three millions of square miles, and consequently it
has beeu impossible to give ample security to citi
zens on our frontiers. In relation to the Indian
depredations on our Southern and Mexican border,
the Secretary hopes to make such alteration iu the
disposition of the troops next season ai wid prevent
any repetition. Measures have already been taken
to snbdue the Uomanches and Kiowas, and give
piotectior. to tki route from Missouri cud Arkansas
to New Mexico. He recommends that provision
be made for retiring disabled and infirm officers
The necessity for enlisting teamsters is urged, a3 L
toe enlistment of frontier citizens for frontier ser
vice, for six months’ terms, the men to provide their
own horses. He speak* favorably of the coudi ion
of the military academies, of the experiments in
breech loading guns, and of the use of camels for
service in the interior. The whole cost of the Army
is put down at $13,098,725 72, which he thinks mey
be considerably reduced. The condition of affairs
in Utah is such that there is scarcely any necessity
for troops tuere, aud they will probably soon be
withdrawn. Tne report concludes with a brief
account of John Brown's attack ou Harper’s Ferry
Navy Department.—The Report ofthe Secre
tary of the Navy enters largely into the achieve
ments of the Paiaguay SquadroD, and into the new
and extended arrangements for suppressing the
African Slave trade. Reference is made to the
fact that a score of new steam vessels had been
added to the navy since the accession of the pre
sent Administration ; au augmentation which has
called for a corresponding erlirgemeutof the perso
nal force—officers, pursers, and crews. Events at
San Juan and at the mouth of the Pei-bo are
touched upon; and the explorations ct Lieut.
Brooke among the Pacific Blands are spoken of
with approval. A contract executed with the
Chiriqui Improvement Company by the Depart
ment, is represented to be of great value. Il con
cedes large areas of land on eitner side of the Isth
mus, lights of transit, and the occupation of the
necessary barbers, aud the ownemLip of all coal
fouud on the Company’s territories. For thie $300,-
OiiO are to be paid* should Congress ratify the bar
gain. The expenditures <>f the Department for the
last fiscal year were $14,669,267, the appropriations
si4 3,<1 The rstimated expenditures for the
year oneiog June 30 18fio, were $13, .'>00,370 ; the
appropriation, $lO 404,709. For the year ending
June 30. JSt.l, the estimates are sll 244,843
Interior Department— The Report of the
Secretary of the Interior embodies a mass of in
fonna'.ios relative to the severel Bureaus constitu
ting that Department. Tno Genera! Land Office
presents this general synopsis of i'< buaine.-s :
During the five quarters ending Sept. 30, 1859,
18 tils.lß3 acres of the public lends were dispoeea
of; 4 yru.h-JO acres were sold lor cash, yielding
f.’.Un 47 1>, 3 <>l7,-1 fit acres were iccafed with bounty
land warrants; 1,712.010 were approved ti the
severai States entitled to them uuuer th? swamu
grant? of March 2, 1849, aud K-pt. 28,1839; and
<-,318 203 acres Certified to Stales, ei falling totuem
under the granrt for rauroad purposes. The Indian
Bur* tu slate- that '.ue average annual expenditure
on Indian account is $3,033 -g7U, anti that the fun
ded capital of the anumHee to fie paid to the In
diana is $21,472,423 There are 330,000 of the
Aborigine? wit an ihe limits of the Federal Union.
Tne Commissioner of Pensions has 11,383 pension
ers on bis roll, cal ii g for $1,034,913 in money. The
necessary expenses winen wiii be incurred tor the
census, wiii requite the appropriation of at least
$1 000,000. It a behaved both wise and just to

Po;T On icr Department.—As was to be an
tiftipa! d.l! e Report of Post master General Holt
dweffe largely upon the financial embarrr isments
of the}. >r, attributable to the failure of the uiuai
appr priatior.?, Th? amount of p -cartained liabili
ties not met by the Department, bur due to this
neglect, ia declared to be si.kJi>.uoU, while iiabiii
tl- J 1 > tne ninourt of sll,-139 laK! nave been liqui
dated. TLagio. .' revenues of the year were $?,-
9n8,484 Th-?s, added to a balance on the hi >kr
of th« Auditor, and to ur,employed appropriations,
constitute a t its 1 of $l?, 1 <>8,39(1 available re.-ources,
Agaiust expenditures amounting to $11,338,139 lor
the fiscal y ear ending Jane 30, 185'.' For the fiscal
year terminating on the same day, 1860, the Poet
master General e:im;.'es the sum required to be
$14,871 347; H ere having beeu already expended
under special acts $167,080 for different branches
of the Pacific Mail Srrv.ci The resources for the
same period are e*t.mated at $1(1 816,060, leaving,
with a reserve of un obec'.ed po. t tges, a deficiency
of $3,526,334. The total snuual transportation of
mails on tie 30th of June ast, we? 83,308,402
miles, cotting $9,498,757. The decrease in the
ieegth of routes from 1858, was 561 miles; the
routes by rail, steamboat and coach having been
largely increased, and t! ore by minor facilities
cur ailed to tho extent of 16 637 miles.
The number of Post offices is 28 539, an aggregate
incres oof 562 for the year. The Postmaster Gen
oa! is pregnant with projec*3 of reform. One ot
hi? plane contemplated the discouragement of the
system of newspaper exchanges, by withdrawing
the immunity from postage heretofore enjoyed by
the Press ; another the award of bids for transpor
tation to parties contracting to furnish the utmost
celerity, independently of the mode of carriage;
another Ihe final abandonment of the Tehuan'epeo
Isthmus es a mail route. Iu regard totheßerv.ee
between Port and aud New Orleans, further legisla
tion is pronounced requisite. And that clause of
the Act of June, 1838, which directs a preference
to be given in the transportition of the European
noai's to au American steamer even at the expense
of three days’delay, is recommended for repeal.
The document is extremely long, and heavily
freighted with fac-'s, figures and suggestions.
The Ship Cherubim off Cape Horn—Suffer
ing ni Sen.
It has been stated that the ship Cherubim, Capt.
Skiaucr, arrived at San Francisco on the 19th inst.
The Bulletin, of that city, gives an aoeount of her
perilous voyage, which will be interesting, particu
larly as her owners and captain are citizens of
Richmond :
The Cherubim left New Y"ork on the 9th of May;
it wes 193 day? afterwards that she entered our
harbor. But when she did arrive, she came in per
fect older and capital condition. She seems to have
suffered all the nautical troubles that could possibly
be crowded inside 193 days. She war IG days
drifting through calms and beating against light
headwinds, before she reached the equator on the
oth<-r side.
Off Capa Horn the wind war a gale, and directly
in tin teeth of the gcod ship, whmh plunged and
rolled and staggered uuder it for fifiy-six dava. On
the 19th of August she sighted the island ot Oiogo
Ramirez to the west, some twenty miles. Just 19
dajs afterwards, after a prodigious deal of hard
sailing, they sighted the same island, bearing in
nearly the same direc'ion about fifteen miles off.
The wretchr-i Horn on e rounded, matters were
more moderate till they reached Valpareiso, into
which place the ship put fur water and medical
at ten dates -ffir the cruelty of the story is yet to be
On the morning of the 25th of August, while
things were at tin wortt off the Cape, and there
were sou e two test of water rolling across the
main deck, it we i found that the top of the pipe
leading down to the water lank, in which the whole
water supply h kept, was gone. The salt water, of
course, poured down into tue tanks, and the 40,000
gallons upon which they had confidently relied was
eveiy drop of it ruined. It wrr impossible that
this cou dbe the reru't of an accident. The pipe
wei plugged up tightly at oace, and a Diece of
canvei naded over it. Next morning plug and
e&nvp.ia were both gone. Who perpetrated the
\ illainy it wet never discovered, but his object was
readi:y surmised, home poor fe.iow, in his despair
hopea by spoiling the water, to compel the ship to
put back Providentially, a siogla cask on deck,
rs orovision against accident, had been filled just
beioie the mishap. AU hands, officers, men and pas
sengers,among whom were Capt. Skinner’s wife and
children, were put upon allowance of a pint a day,
from that time till the at rival at Valparaiso, thirty’
five days afterwards. Os provisions there was an
abundance, the ship having taken a year’s supply
at New York
The exposure brought on scurvy, with which one
after another, many were terribly afflicted. One
diet and was buried at 3ea. S’our others were left
in the hospital at Valparaiso, but were doing well
when last sec u. Fresh supplies of water at that
place, and a tarry long enough to give all parties
fresh meat aud vegetables enough, restored health
on shipboard. The ship had a pretty good time up
from Valparaiso, airiving at San Francisco in forty
three days.
Among the Scotch, in the Highlands, the follow
ing p: ediction in relation to the wind on New
Year's Eve is currently believed :
“If New Year's Eve night wind blew South,
It betokeneth warmth and growth ;
If West, much railk, and tish ia the sea ;
It North, mu"h co d aud storms there will he ;
If East, the trees will bear much fruit ;
If Northeast, flee it, mau and brute.”

Wa%hingtos, Deo. 30,180 D.
The negotiation of the treaty with the L ; bera!
Government of Mexico has rev-vecl the bept-s and
enterprises of various parties who have heretofore
initiated meeaurea f< r the construction of Railroads
across the Mexican territory, in order to effect a
more speedy and reliable communication with the
Pacific coast.
The Tehuantepec route was a favorite with the
Polk and the succeeding adaiinistratioca; for, while
it would secure the important objects contempla
ted, it was regarded as a basis of eceoinmodatioa
to the interests of all sections of our country.
The President, in his instructions to Mr. McLane,
war particular in providing for the pr< tectum of
the rights and immunities of all the citizens of the
United States, without regard to any individual
schemes or enterprises whatever, in connection
with the transit privileges thus far secured. But,
at the same time, the Juarez Government, wishing
to be faithful to its obligation, will doubti* S 3 respec t
its existing contract with the Louisiana Company,
the operations of which on the Isthmus were, it is
known, suspended several months ago, owing to
pecuniary embarrassments.
Both Governments guarantee the neutrality of
the transit route*, and will protect the r, if neces
sary, by military force; but th's protectun c .naot
be claimed©r expected, un'ess tte milrcat compa
ny transport troop*, munitions of wa s , and mi i;ary
8-ippliea of either government at fcafths r*’ea
charged to other pardes tr private mJividuals.
This appears to be the Condition of the protection,
as stipulated m ilia treaty.
There cannot be a doubt flat cur Government
will take, if it fcas not already taken, measures to
encoura-e the re ocening of the Tehuantepec
rjute, andthitMr. McLane, before he 1 eit the
United States for Metico, understood fully the
views of the administ a’ion on this subject.
Gentlemen interes.ed in the Tehuantepec route,
confidently say that it will be reopened under
more favorable auspices than heretofore. The
Company fer that purpose is to be re-organized,
and a mere efficient management secured. It is
estimated that $8,000,000 will be sufficient to con
struct the road, although it has been proposed to
make the capital $20,000,000
Mr. Labere, connected with the Louieiana Com
pany, stands in high favor with the Liberal Gove.n*
memos Mexico, lie we* a true and firm friend in
other days, to both Juarez and Ocampo; and,
more recently, when the Reactionists threatened
Vera Cruz, he placed a steamer, belonging to his
company at the disposal of the Liberal Govern
ment—which it used with advantage in the neigh
i jiLoodof Vera Ciuz. This gent eoiau, in con
junction with Mr. Benjamin, will, it is said, in
quarters usually well informed on subjects, visit
Vera Cruz on business connected with this Raii
road, and in order to effect such modifications of
their contract, as will the better farther their enter
prise; and in this errand it is as reliably asserted,
they will have the co operation of Mr. McLaue.
These movements are in part, however, based on
the supposition that the treaty will be duly ratified.

Report or Northern Spies from the South.—
The New York correspondent of the Mobile Regis
ter, says;
The Republican leaders here sent confidential
agents in September to every Southern State, to
examine into and repcr: the extent of arms and
ammunition in the South that could be used in
March, 1861, should Seward's taking his seat be
opposed. A copy of the report was sent by a
friend in theoffice of the Independent. I will mere
iy mention what it contains in reference to Alaba
ma, South Carolina and Georgia. The spies report
that the arms and ammunition in Alabama is of no
possible aocount. Os South Carolina he speaks in
the moat contemptuous terms, and contrasts the
arms and supplies of the Federal Government and
fortress with those of the State at Columbia and at
Charleston. He says there are not even rusty
muskets sufficient in the State to arm 100 men, and
if there were, that the muskets would explode and
kill the holders. In Georgia, the spy ss3 , s, there is
a scsroity of arms, and of powdor and shot for the
ordinary hunting done iu the State. All the States
are reported, and if the report is true, were I in
your Legislature, not a day should pass before a
remedy was had. I would create a permanent
supply, by legalizing manufactures of arms and of
powder. Why not ?
The Foreign Grian Trade.— The New York
Journal of Commerce notices the following fact
connected with the foreign grain trade :
It is elated, on good authority, that broadstaffs
are lower at Liverpool than at any of the ieadirg
Baltic ports. This would apDear to Bhow conclu
sively that the continent has atready made an over
exportation, and that the future supplies for British
markets must coma chiefly from this side. The
excellent quality of Americau wheat the current
year will tavor Buch a demand, and we certain'y
look for a still further increase in the export trade
hence, before the next harvest. Including the
supplies at near lake poits, there are about four
million bushels of wheat available for shipment,
so that a brisk foreign demand need not fail of
being met, or lead to any extraordinary advance in
price.
