Loss or the Steamer Eclipse.—
The fine river steamer Eclipse, which,
for more than a year, has been plying
between this City and Savannah, ex
ploded her boiler at Purysburg, about
25 miles this side of Savannah, on
Saturday last, killing the Captain, Ilobt-
Carter, the assistant engineer, Mr. Thou.
Bottom, and two freedmen—one u fire
man and one a striker—whose names
wc did lot lean . George Lark, col
ored, the pilot, was badly scalded. The
balance ol the crew escaped, some of
them slightly injured. \ lie boat parted
in the middle under the shock, and went
down immediately, with everything on
board. Fortunately, the explosion oc
curred ju-t as the boat was landing to
take oil wood, enabling the crew who
I were uninjured to escape to the shore,
l else the loss of life might have boon
j greater.
I Captain Carter was an efficient offi
| cer and a worthy man. He leaves u
j family in this city to mourn his tin
timciy loss. Mr. Bottom was also a
faithful and reliable rnan, and h as* s a
widowed mother and other relatives,
who were in part dependent upon him.
1 h*v;e families, pn well as those of t' e
faithful colored men who lost their
lives by this disaster, are entitled to
especial sympathy and considuratiou
from our citizens. The boat wa loaded
with condemned Government property,
recently sold in this City, and with
lumber taken on at some ol the landings
below.
1 lie Ecdipsc was a boat 'of lighter
draft than any on tho river, requiring
less than two feet ot water, and wain
therefore, especially valuable to the
river trade.

The Tariff Report of Commissioner Welles
will be presented to the Senate Thursday
next. It may ho said, on tho host authority,
thut tho statements heretofore published,
purporting to give tho suhstauco of this
Report aro wholly fallacious, and very far
wide o f tho facts. Tho Report cannot bo
styled a full trade report, as it recommends
an incrcaso of tho tariff wherever it can
bo borne. It is simply a plain, lucid, cum
mou-sen.-e stateuieut of the results of a
patient aud intelligent investigation into
the condition of our industrial affairs, the
reason for the imposition of a tariff, and
tho effect of certain rates upon certain
classes of commodities.

COMMERCIAL.
We extract the following from the Weekly j
Cotton Circular of AV ill in in Bryce & Cos., j
dated New York, December 28, 1866:
Tho receipts show n marked increase
over any week yet running up to 80,000
bales ; but even that figure is not as high as
it should he to give n crop of oar estimate.
If the present week shows a total equal to
last we shall have received just about
750,000 bales at the p >rts on the first of
January, 1867. Many persons feel con vine 1
that, fully naif the crop will then be counted ;
others, reasoning ou the «.f 1857-5,
think 45 per cent, will then be in, which
would ind’eate a crop of 1,650,006. I r t
hotrov-T, tl < r t eipfs of the *ix yevrs before
dio vrnr ag a gold* only gem a 4.0
per cent will have been receivod, or the
crop would reach 1,875,000 bales. The
average of six years seems the fairest, al
though the similarity of the present season
to ’67-’. p >B strit ng, as far as the cond ; -
lion of ti c planters is concerned. From
our own correspondence we are aware that
mine section* arc ever: now pretty thorough
ly swept of their crop, yet it is equally
true that the cotton from other sections has
but just commenced to fairly move. Many
persons are misled, we think, concerning
the probable amount to come forward by
the reluctance so openly avowed by planters
to sell at going rates. Although there is
no doubt of this reluctance, it is equ illr
true that a great number i«rr in Mned U»
press their crops to the outports where ad
vancos can ho obtained. Taking this view
of the case, and considering the absolute
necessity of many farmers, it may be fair
to assume that the crop is moving some
whut more quickly than usual, in spite of
the comparatively low rates ruling. Wo
therefore reiterate our e»timu!eof I,SUO,OUU
bales, although we confess that the chances
of the crop under-running tluvo figures
nre greater thun of over running them.
The goods trade continues very dull, and
until it becomes fairly active again we do
not lo k for any very material advance
based on actual consumptive demand.
