[Prom an occasional correspondent.] New York, December 5, 1866. • »To the Editors of the News and Herald : A year in this great city of New York has presented many thingB which, were they transcribed to paper] and presented to your readers, would doubtless afford them much interest, being as it is the great metropolis of the land, and the great bulwark between the Radical malignity of the present day and the Southern people, who are nated by these enemies with all bitterness. New York City, of the whole North, has alone tendered a hospitable and welcome band to the South ern man, ruined and desolate by the late war, which brought wealth to her and the entire North, and by her manner she has shown that, had she The power, old things would speedily be forgot ten, and new ones tepding to promote peace and prosperity be instated. This was par ticularly shown in the late election; when, thongh reckless fanaticism and madhatred raged rampant, and carried the Slate beyond the pale of conservatism, the city gave to the Conservative candidate a larger majority than had ever previously beer polled for any aspirant to political honors. But “madness rules, the hour,” and what is left for the South to do ? Simply to wait, test in calm dignity upon her sense of right, srust in Providence to do her justice; and overcome the hatred ol those in power over her, and, in the mean time, develope her immense re sources until wealth takes the place of her present poverty, and let the rage of her con querors foment until some good to her works itself out. TbiB must, in the order of things, inevita bly be accomplished. See the results of the Radical working. Trade is paralyzed. The products of the South, forming, as they do, the chief source of wealth to the nation, are cut off. Men are afraid to invest their capital, lest the little security granted for the protection of the interests of Southern men shall be in sufficient to prevent its all being swept away, and civil war is threatening to absorb every thing in the cruel and vindictive cry of more blood, or power unlimited. Aud the picture is not overdrawn—unfortunately ’tis too true; and unless common sense and reason resume their control, not only the South, but the- whole country must inevitably become ruined and desolate ; bnt we 'cannot believe that passion wifi always reign supreme, but that sooner or later the people will open their eyes, throw overboard their unprinci pled, ambitious leaders, and commit the guidance of the Government to those-whose policy is established on the broad principles of right and justice. Then let the South wait tor future devel opments ; but while waning, let her not fold her hands in restlessness, but go to work, raise her cotton, tobacco and grain, and above all increase her manufacturing facili ties. That she has as fine as any country on the globe was most signally demonstrated by LIFE Airo ACCTOEKT. from; sire to son throughout moay fionsi k» We did not haarthe reverend doctor bnt read a synopsis of his sermon inf be morning papers.

Both houses have gone to work with an unprecedented degree of industry and ener gy, and if they do not adjourn on Friday next, it will be no fault of tboir's. The Senate now holds two sessions per day, and the House three. Most of the important bu siness has been acted on by the House, and a good deal of it has been acted upon by both Houses, and only awaits the action of the Governor. ■_ . , Both Houses have passed the stay law, the features of which are known to your read ers, as it has been published in full. No doubt is entertained here by members but that the Governor, will veto it.' A strong effort will be. made to pass it over the veto, and it will nn doubt be successful. The redemption bill, as it is called, which allows the redemption, within two years, of real estate sold under execution, passed on Saturday night last. If it should be vetoed, it cannot get a two-thirds vote. I am in duced to make this remark from the very majority by which the bill was passed in the House. • .. State aid to the Savannah, Griflin and -North Alabama Railroad, after having been lost in the House, reconsidered and lost again, not withstanding its passage by the Senate, can not now be entertained by the House, except by a two-thirds vote. An effort will be made to get the two-thirds vote, but it will be an up-hill business. I have heard outsiders, who know more of the matter than I do, say that this is-really the most meritorious pro ject of the kind which has been before this General Assembly- On the score of equal distribution of favors, this road certainly is as much entitled to State aid as any other. The House passed, on Saturday last, the jwq most important and most absolutely necessary bills of the session. I refer to the general appropriation bill and the revenue or tax bill. The specific appropriations are un usually large. No less than one million of dollars are appropriated by tliia bill. I note somloftheUrger^* forByrd*Koloe« artificial limbs, $30,000: tor the public debt, *400,000; for corn for the indigent poor, $100,000tor freight on donationa-of sup plies given to the poor by citizens of other $20,000; for the penitentiary, $25,- 000; for the lunatic asylum, $55,000; tor the asylum for the blind, $17,000; for the asy lum for the deaf and dumb, $8,000 ; for the new code, $10,000; lor pay of officers and members of the Legislature, about $125,000; for salary of the Governor and State House officers, about $15,000; for officere and guards at State penitentiary, say $10,000; for nay of judicial officers, about $45,000; besides $10,600 lor salary of Judges of the Supreme Court, and $24,000 aa salaries of Solicitors; Dr. Ridley, of Troup, the pro tern chairman of the Fin^ce Committee, which fenorled the bill, roted against it, character- million of dollars or more, if more be re- gsfeafir.-iia5gfcar8 valoremwere raised, and that required one- ssias xlvsjTiS X wK^ubt tobe raised next year, soq»e The repeal pf the spe^c ^ of 20 cento per gallouon liquors Is owmg toe efforts of the members from Richmond, Messrs.Barnes'tL jl The mail being abotif to clo*, T pelted to desist from farther remarks, l win resume the subject in my letter to-morrow- V" Alabama, in manufacturing cotton goods daring the late war, showing clear'y her in dependence of New England in this respect. Build np new, and work bo:h these and the old factories, and then let them pile on the protective tariff as much as they please, and we will see who will be most benefitted by it, the South or New England. Fanaticism and hatred will do all it can to farther hu miliate and degrade the conquered land, but only touch the pocket of the conquerors, and fanaticism, hatred and all else will yield, for in these States the almighty dollar is of all things the most potent. Already the Radical policy is working to bring about its legitimate result, and only total blindness prevents it from being seed. Take for in stance the shipping interests of the country; see how they have been affected on account of the unsettled state ot Southern labor, kept by the Freedmen’s Bureau (under pretence of protecting the “poor black”) from assuming the natural channel which the interests of all parties wonld hollow out for it-preventing, as It does, the production of the Southern sta ples in anything like the usual supply, and even when, by almost superhuman effort, the planter has managed .to secure a limited crop, the Government interferes and tells him his cotton cannot be moved until the Internal Revenue tax has been paid thereon We have been informed that in several instances no officer has been appointed to re ceive the tax, and the cotton is thus forcibly held a dead weight on all parties. What must be the result of these things ? Simply this, that foreign countries will turn their eyes to India, Egypt and the East, and improve what has already been commenced towards supplying themselves with these necessary articles of commerce, and we sha'l see in fu ture, developed more than now, trade carried away from the. shores of this country; and transferred between foreign lands, while we wifi be shut out in the cold and suffer. We hope these things will be bettered, that the eyes of the people will be opened, ana that they wifi see that the curses they pour out upon the desolate and prostrate South will recoil upon their own heads in tenfold pro portion. Bnt let us, for toe present, leave these unpleasant themes. They may be further discussed in future letters. Let us turn to other things of interest which transpire around us. On Sunday last we were somewhat aston ished at * “religious” notice in the Herald, that the Rev- (?) Dr. Cheever was going to preach (?)on the “Constitutional Amend ment.” We can forgive you, ob! unaophisti- cated Southern reader! for starting in aston ishment. We know that you (though cer tain reverends of the North have published the fact that you chained your slaves to posts and whipped them with cowhides until South has ever shown), they are quoted ^hd made to apply solely to the black mw . 7 He spoke . against the Cauhtstioas Amendment, said that it-was an inatMcawt for defrauding the negro of his rights, and the hand of God himself was against it. He claimed thpt the black man was a citizen of the land, and no amendment to the Consti tution could, under any ciroomstancea, de prive him of the right of suffrage. This was the drift of his discourse. For convenience sake he might occasionally mention God and the Bible; hut most of his remarks were breathings of threatenings and slaughter against the'“Rebels” and the Executive, and the so -called minister of the Prince of Peace became the minister of the God of War. Another discourse was delivered by an other reverend, having for tys subject “The Naked Truth.” This might mislead -some people into the belief that they were to hear a purely religions sermon; bat it tanrediQat to be a tirade against a certain theatre which nightly produces a piece in wbioh the clothing worn is very scant, so the title was very significant, and this might have all been very well, had not the end been a laudation of the New York Herald, in which toe said theatre does not advertise, and which has thus excited the -ire ol that sheet. In fact, the divine ceased altogether from his origi nal discourse, and advised another paper to follow the lead of the Herald, and advocate the Constitutional Amendment. We cannot bnt believe that did thia estab lishment advertise in the New York Herald, that paper wonld be loud-monthed in the prais, s of the piece. Certainly as long as cer tain advertisements headed “Personal,” Ac., are permitted in its columns, it eannot lay claim to superior morality. We agree with it in the belief that were it not for the many good people in New York, toe city wonld share the late of Sodom and Gomorrah, bnt we areDot disposed to class among the good the above mentioned specimens. Certainly, Sunday here is foil of incidents strange and interesting .to your Southern readers; and while radicalism and fanaticism rules rampant, only a few who have not bowed the knee to Baal, can or will regard it as the Lord’s day. Bnt we have already written more than we intended, and We fear a prosy letter will be the result. The amusements, which flourish here in all their gloiy, have yet to be de scribed, bnt they will probably be better ap preciated in a future letter. Ristori is about leaving us. She is a great actress, and if your people can have a chance to see her it will well repay them. I believe she makes a Bobthia announced us coming, Hamlet,” a character decidedly bisown and in which he is very striking. A season ol Italian opera is also announced, and the gaiety of the great metropolis is nnab&ted, even though the country may be rushing on to maducss. All these things may be read with interest, and we hope to be able to give them freely to your readers. In the meantime, rest as sured New York city will wag along, and hi the continual surging and tossing of human life within her borders many an item wifi be thrown to the surface, which we hope to gather, aod present to you as specimens of the weeds which grow and flourish in the dark depths of society here, even unknown to the dwellers, unless by chance it drift wiiiiiD their reach.

The Democratic members of Congress have bad no formal caucus as yet, bnt there have been several in formal conferences, and some of the leading men among them have conlerred freely with the President upon the future policy of the Democratic party to Congress. I am assured that, aa the result of such conterences, the following points have been deter mined on as a general line of action during the pre sent session, with reference particularly to fUtnra re sults: There will be less manifestation of opposition to the acts of the majority than at the last session, not only because it is futile, but beeauaa the only hope of reconstruction that the Democratic party now baa is that the Republicans may commit party excesses to their legislation, which a returning aense of justice on the part of the people may rebuke. The President, the same authority asserts, will use the veto power sparingly, reserving it for what be may consider aa plain violations of the Constitution, and will pursue a quiet course, calculated not to give his enemies in Congress any further cause for per sonal attacks upon him. It was not until after serious consideration of subject that Mr. Johnson decided not to suggeot I _ comprom ise measure to his message. Following the advice of his leading Democratic friends, lie saw fit to reiterate his doctrine of restoration, and thereby avoids the charge of inconsistency which might nat urally follow; and further, any compromise wonld bb- au admission that the reconstructing policy wsa a failure. In both the Senate end House, tho adherents of the President will be for more Indifferent to Badi- cul measures of legislation than at the lest sea Jon. As one ol them expressed it today, “they villgiva the Radicals all the rope they want, hoping they may hang themselves." These outgivings era Item the best informed Democrats. I think they will bo tinned. _ General Bmceehbidge.-—W© m«ke the trtbiolaed extract from a recent editorial in the LonifvJl# (Xf.) Journal: Major General John C.
