Secretary of Treasury's Report.
We make the following abstract of this im
portant document, omitting such portions as
have been already published, or are of minor in
terest with respect to public affairs. A general
abstract of receipts and expenditures, together
with the amount of the public debt redeemed,
was contained in the President Message. After
a detailed statement of these matters, and a nar
rative of proceedings relative to the redemption
of the public debt, we find the subjoined passages
respecting the business of the country, and the
modification of the tariff:
The imports of the fiscal year 1853, including
specie, have been $267,978,647. and the exports
have been $230,452,250. A fair estimate for
profits on our exports and the freight of our ves
sels would cast the balance of thi3 account in
our favor, without estimating the money brought
in by emigrants, of which no account is taken.
It is believed that a large stock of imported mer
chandise remains in the hands of the merchants,
and for that reason, and because of the stiingen
cy in the money market, both here and in Eng
land, it is calculated that there will be, during
the remaining three quarters of the year, a di
minished importation, compared with that of the
first quarter.
The estimate for the fiscal year 1855 has not
been made to exceed that of 1853, for the reason
that it is believed that the causes of diminished
importations during the latter part of the fiscal
year 1854 will be extended into part of the suc
ceeding fiscal year, and because the agitation of
a reduction of the tariff will have a tendency to
prevent importations beyond the actual demand
lor consumption.
Still it is believed that the receipts of the fis
cal year 1855 will be sufficient to meet the ex
penditures of the year and a reasonable purcha*e
of the public debt, and justify a reduction of
the duties by adding to the free list and redu
cing the tax upon many other articles of impor
tation.
The table I, accompanying this report, exhib
its a separate list of the foreign articles, which it
is hereby proposed shall be added to the free list
for the purpose of reducing the revenue. The
revenue collected from the articles in table I, tor
the last year, is about SB.OOO 000; in which
amount, it may be computed, the revenue will
be reduced, by the adoption of the proposed addi
tional free list.
This wiil leave the revenue larger than a pro
per and economical administration of the govern
ment will require; and for the purpose of further
reduction, it is now proposed to arrange the arti
cles paying duties in two classes—the one class
to pay what may be considered the high duty of
100 per cent., and the other class to pay the
moderate duty of 25 per cent., and to include all
imported articles not in the free list nor in the
table of high duties. This equalization will re
duce the revenue about $4,500,000. This still
leaves the revenue computed upon the imports
of 1853 at about $45,000,000 from customs; be
low which point is not proposed to reduce the
duties until the public debt is paid. The change
now proposed in the rate of duty is designed to
take effect from and after the Ist of January,
1855.
The effect of making the duties 25 per cent,
on all articles imported not included in the free
and higher lists, will be to greatly less trou
ble in the collection of the revenue, and to raise
the duties on some articles and reduce them on
others. When the duties are raised, the chahge
may act in restraint of importation, and when
reduced, in their favor; and the one result, to
some extent, will counteract the other.
The proposed reduction, had it been applied
during the last year, would have left an abun
dant revenue for all the reasonable wants of the
government in time of peace, and allow the pro
per addition to the army and navy to meet the
exigencies of an augmenting population and an
increasing commerce, and leave the receipts
from the sale of public lands to be applied to the
purchase of the public debt, to wbicb these pro
ceeds are pledged by law.
It is not proposed to enter to any extended ar
gument to prove that the articles in table I should
be added to the free list, nor to prove the pro
priety of the proposed reduction of duties to the
uniform standard of 25 per cent. Let the tariff be
reduced as Congress, in view of the present
wants of the government, shall deem best, the
increasing population, production, industry, and
enterprise of the nation will still necessarily
add to the importations, and consequently to the
revenue, what shall be needed for increased ex-
penses.
The tables accompanying this report exhibit
the free lists ot England, France, Belgium, Por
tugal, Brazil, Austria, Spain, Russia, Cuba, the
Zoll \ erein, Chili, Netherlands, Hanse Towns,
Norway, Mexico, and Sweden, and mark the
progress of free trade among commercial nations.
Unrestricted commerce, binding the nations of
ttie earth in stronger bonds of peace by mutual
benefits, has numerous and increasing advocates
in this and other commercial countries. The
principle of tree trade may not yet be sufficient
ly verified from experience, in this and other na
tions, to justify its full adoption, but the progress
towards free trade, now proposed, will be justi
fied, it is believed, by both public opinion and
public interest. It is considered tba* the taking
off the duty on the raw material wed in our
manufactories will counteract the reduction of
duties on foreign manufactures, and, when com
pared with the operations of the present tariff
will not materially effect the interests of dorriefc
tic industry or commerce.
It is not proposed to change the principle of
ad valorem duties, but it is lor the consideration
of Congress whether a specific duty on iron,
made from the average of the last three or four
years’ ad valorem duties, might not give greater
stability to the iron business, and more satisfac
tion to consumers, and, at the same time, prove
equally beneficial to the revenue.
It is proposed to make salt free of duty. The
average annual revenue Irom that article, for the
five years to 30th June, 1852, is only 8232,284,
while the annual fishing bounties, exclusive ot
the drawback on pickled fish, for which the salt
duty is a pretext, amount to $289,413, besides
other heavy annual expenses to prevent frauds.
A report upon the subject of the fishing bounties,
from J. Ross Browne, with its references, is
herewith submitted. For the reasons stated in
that report, it is recommended that the fishing
bounty be repealed, and that branch of industry
be left to the fair competition which causes other
maritime enterprises to flourish.
The table ot imports and exports for the fiscal
year ending 30fch June, 1853, accompanying this
report, and heretofore mentioned, compares fa
vorably with those of preceding years, apd
marks our increasing capacity for commercial
intercourse. The table of tonnage, which also
accompanies this report, shows that our tonnage
is now 4,407,010 tons, and exceeds that of any
preceding year by 280,000 tons. These tables
prove that we enjoy a prosperous commerce,
with an increasing capacity to extend it.
The table exhibiting the operations of the
mint also accompanies this report. It shows the
entire coinage to 31st October last to have been
$370,008,192 50; the gold coinage, from the Ist
January to the 31st October of the year 1853, to
have been $46,998,945 GO, and the silver coin
age $6,996,225, and proves an active and grow
ing demand for gold and silver as a currency for
actual use; whilst the imports of gold and stiver,
including what is brought to the Atlantic from
California, without estimating for that brought
in by emigrants, compared with the exports of
gold and silver, prove that, within four years,
the large amount of $135,972,095 73 has been
added to the gold and silver coin remaining in
the country. Should this increase continue for
but a short term of years, this country will be
able to dispense with banks of issue, and their
attendant evils, "and have the gold and silver cur
rency contemplated by the constitution. The
operations of the mint and its branches for the
past year show a very favorable result, and the
re-coinage of silver has, in many places, removed
the inconvenience arising from small bank notes .
and want of change. It may reasonably be ex
pected that the—supply, in the course of
years, will be ample, and exteuded to every
section of the country.
It is thought that a coinage of an alloy resem -
bling German silver may be beneficially substi
tuted for the copper, and experiments to that
end have been directed. Should they prove fa*
vorabie, the result will be presented during the
session.
The branch mint at San Francisco h&j been
contracted for, to be furnished and ready lor the
coinage of $30,000,000 per annum by the Ist of
February next, and there is every reason to be
lieve that the contract will bi complied with,
and the mint there put into operation by that
time, thus abundantly supplyig the people of
the Pacific coast with coin, for all the purposes
of exchange and commerce, from their own
mines.
Besides the $2,243,000 which was found at
the commencement of my official duties to have
been advanced to agent* for the purchase of the
public debt, it was ascertained that the further
sum of $475,000 was in the hands of agents un
der agreements to transfer the same for the de
partment to different places of deposit, together
with the sum of $2,226,982 27 unaccounted for,
and designed to pay interest, S*c.
The withdrawal of this large sum of $4,944,-
682 27 from the treasury, where the laws re
quire it to ke kept, and its deposit in the hands
of agents jor considerable periods of time being
deemed hazardous to the treasury, if not in di
rect violation of the law, it was thought best to
reclaim the amount and abandon that mode of
transfer and paying interest, &c,, and to effect
the transfers by the sale of drafts at the points
where the money was needed for disbursements,
as authorised by law, or by an actual transfer by
an officer of the department, and to have the in
terest, &c., paid by the officers of the treasury.
Ihe plan adopted answers all the requirements
of the service, with all necessary economy and
dispatch, and with less hazard than the previous
one. It is proper to state that all the above
sums have been replaced in the treasury except
SIOO,OOO, tor which suit has been instituted at
Columbus, Ohio, and is still pending. A pledge
of stocks of various descriptions was taken for
part of the $4,944,982 27, but none had been ta
j ken for the SIOO,OOO in suit in Ohio, and there
! is some apprehension that that sum will be
lost.
IJpon a careful examination and consideration
of the treasury acts, it was considered within
the power and duty of the department, if not ab
solutely required to cause the public money to be
always in the treasury, or in the custody of the
assistant treasurers and depositories designated
by law, until regularly withdrawn lor the pur
pose of disbursement in accordance with the ap
propriations ; and that all powers*vested in the
department in relation to the collection, sale
keeping, transfer entrusted to and exercised by
its officers. That plan has been adopted and ad
hered to, and no difficulty or inconvenience has
arisen from the working of the system, and it is
believed that none can arise.
The residue of the report includes a statement
of proceedings respecting the lease of certain
property in New York, tor an essay and melting
and refining office. An exhibit respecting cer
tain claims made by the officers of the customs
in New York, for perquisites consisting ot one
half of the amount of fines and penalties imposed
for violation of the revenue laws. A review ot
certain reforms instituted in the several auditors
offices; notice of the coast survey, and other
matters pertaining to the general supervision of
the department. The report concludes as fol
lows :
The resolution of the Senate of the 19th of
January, 1853, requiring the Secretary of the
Treasury to have prepared and submitted to the
Senate, at its next session, a general revenue
law, with a view of superseding all existing
laws upon the subject, &c., has claimed atten
tion ; and some progress has been made in the
work, which it is expected will be presented, in
whole or in part, during the session, and in time
for the considerat on of Congress.
The circular instructions issued by me from
time to time, and not herinbefore mentioned,

Gov. Foote.— The Vicksburg Sentinel, refer
ring to the defeat of Gov. Foote in the late elec
tion who had combined with the Whigs, comforts
him in the following manner:
We are surprised to learn, that our Governor
take* the defea of the late coalition very much
to heart. If our information be correct our classi
cal (riend must have read the Tusculan Disputa
tions, and “My Novel,” to very little purpose.
For our part, we cannot see why he should not
be as merry as a cricket, or a free toad in a rainy
day. Now that the Union party has bursted, hi#
Excellency ought to feel as happy as the man
did when the Nahant bank failed. He ran home
in mortal terror to see it he had arfy of its paper,
and was tickled to death when he found he had
no money on that bank nor any other. We hope
the Governor will cheer up. This thing of
dying of a broken heart should be left to fair
maidens disappointed in love, and verdant young
gentlemen, who write woiui ballads to their
mistress eye brows and sigh like a furnace. There
is a great deal of good sense in what that strong
minded woman Mrs. Macbeth, once said, and we
commend it to the Governor’s consideration :
, “Things without remedy
bhould be without regard: w hat’s dbne, is done.”
I Destructive Fire. —We regret to record the
! loss by (lie, on luesday last about 12 o^clock,
: °1 the valuable and beautiful dwelling bouse,
■ together with the kitchen and smoke house of
our worthy townsman, Dr. J.J. Singleton. It
being sale-day a great number of citizens from
the country were present, and heartily united
with the citizens of the town, and every effort
possible was made to extinguish the" flame
which was raging most furiously from the roof
of the dwelling, but all proved unavailing—the
greedy element had seized its victim and ruin
followed in its wake. •
The fire we learn originated by an old ser
vant who occupied a basement story in the
dwelling who threw' some shaving of Mats and
Brooms in the fire, which caught the soot in the
chimney, which communicated the fire to the
top of the building. We are pleased to say, that
while we regret the loss of the buildings, most of
the furniture and household property was saved,
estimated loss to Dr. Singleton, between seven
and eight thousand dollars. We learn there
was no insurance.
During the progress of the fire the Court
house was twice discovered to be on fire, and
several other private houses; but through the
great vigilance and energy of the citizens the
flames were arrested.
This calamity ought to be a warning to our
citizens, for it was a mere miracle that our en
tire beautiful village was not destroyed.—Dah

AUGUSTA, GA.
THURSDAY MORNING, DEC. 15.
For Milledgeville Correspondence, see
first page.
Macon and Warrenton Rail Road.
It was but reasonable to expect, that this en
terprise would meet with opposition, and that ef
forts would be made to decry it as uncalled for,
and as certain to prove a bad investment. But
we did not expect to see these objections spring
up in this community.
We find, however, a column of the CkronUle
Sentinel occupied by a writer, who contemplate*
the construction of this road with extreme dis
taste; and were it not that he s#ems to have the
welfare of the Georgia Railroad greatly at heart,
and appears very solicitous to protect our private
citizens from the folly of misappropriating their
surplus funds, we should have supposed the pa
ternity of the article might be traced to another
locality.
There are a few facts going to show that pub
lic convenience calls for the csnstruction of the
Macon and Warrenton road, and that it would
attract a large amount of trade and travel.
Ist. It is on the shortest line of travel be
tween New Orleans and Charleston.
This would give it a large and profitable busi
ness, which is now divided between the two
roads leading to Savannah and Charleston. It
wdl take also, the return travel passing west
I through Charleston, and also that through Au
gusta, by the Wilmington and Manchester route.
For the same reason it will also secure the great
Southern mail.
2d. It will get a very considerable local tra
vel going west from almost every point in the
State north of the line from Augusta to Atlanta
and a large share of all travel to the North from
the western and south-western parts of the State.
Tbia, if it be true, shows that the convenience
of a considerable portion of the population of
Georgia will be subserved by the road.
The fact, that the road will pass through Mil
ledge ville, the seat of State Government, must
also be considered in the estimate of public con
venience, as also of the sources of profit. These
facts all indicate, that this will be the most tra
velled thorough-lare in the State. The road will
enjoy a larger business in the way of travel than
any other in the State, and this will, in the nature
of things, continue to increase. The fact, that
the mail will take that line, will secure the tra
vel, and the directness of the route will make
the mail transportation a permanent/business.—
These, for the trouble and outlay, pay better
than any other business of a road.
3d. The attractions of Augusta and Charles
ton, as Cotton markets—we may say the attrac
tions of Augusta, commanding as it does, easy
access to both the markets of Savannah and
Charleston—will bring over this road a great
amount of produce from Macon and points be
yond. Cotton, for instance, stored in Macon
j naay sometimes pay, a better profit, all ex
| penses considered, if forwarded 121 miles,
i and sold in Augusta, than forwarded 191 miles
to Savannah and sold there : or Charleston,
whieh is only 66 miles further than Savan
nah, may sometimes be thought a better market
to sell in, and the Cotton will go there. But
though this 66 miles greater distance may be a
very important item against the Charleston and
Augusta route in this comparison, its importance
diminishes with the increase of distance to points
whose trade is sought. That 66 miles would at
Columbus, at Oglethorpe, at Americus be a pro
portionately smaller obstacle than it would seem
at Macon. And if the view be extended be
yond, to points in Alabama, and in South-west
ern Georgia, in which direction additional Rail
road extensions aie projected, the obstacle csases
to be formidable. For the per centage of dis
tance, against the longer line, is thus continuous
ly diminishing. The expenses on Cotton upon
the two lines would then approximate to almost
identically the same rates.
Everyday’s experience in Georgia proves that
the Augusta and Charleston route has attractions
which will biing produce here in preference to
a shorter route to Savannah. What is the dis
tance from Atlanta to Savannah via Macon?
101x191—292 miles. What is the distance to
Charleston via Augusta 3 171x136—307 miles.
Yet, full three-fourths of the Cotton from Atlan
ta, the diverging point, comes down to Augusta.
In point of distance, Savannah is in a better po
| sition to compete lor the Cotton lrom Chatta
nooga and the Tennessee—from Rome, and the
Coosa—from La Grange, and the fertile fields of
Alabama, just beyond the Georgia line. But
the lact is, she scarcely gets one-fourth of this
Cotton. Her share of the other produce ot these
regions thus open to her, is still smaller.
The presumption irom these facts is, that Au
gusta and Charleston are more attiactive mar
j kets. It cannot be ascribed to cheaper protits
j this way, or to any discriminations for through
| freights against Savannah. The rates from ail
those points beyond Atlanta, through to Savan
nah, do not exceed those to Charleston, and from
LaGrange to Charleston the freight is 5 cents
per 100 lbs. higher.
These facts entourage the citizens of Augusta
to believe, that if they can have a Railroad con
nection with Macon via Warren ton, Sparta and
Milledgeville, they can bring to this market a
large amount of trade which now goes to Saran
nah. They believe that they can oompete at
Macon, at Columbus, at Oglethorpe, and (when
the road reaches it) at Arnericus, and points be
yond that, with Savannah, just as they are now
competing, and successfully too, with her at At
lanta, LaGrange, Rome and Chattanooga. They
believe the trade thus brought over the Macon
and Warrenton road will make it a profitable
stock enterprise, while the City of Augusta it
self will receive an immediate and never-failing
dividend through this enlarged field of trade for
her business men, by enhanced real estate, in
creased population, and increased resources.
We have not considered sth, the profits from
return freights, which will accrue to the road.
I hese bear a certain relation to down freights,
which those familiar with the subject can readi
ly estimate. There certainly will be no falling
off in the proportion in the present case. Ma
con and Augusta being on the shortest line to the
Atlantic and New York, the great emporium of
American commerce, and Charleston being a
favorite market with all who stop short of a
Northern port for supplies of goods, this line will
be chiefly used by the merchants West and
South of Macon for the transport of their goods.
A large quantity that now finds its way to
Macon, and beyond there, via
pass through Augusta, or by the Warrenton and
Macon Road. Also, a large quantity that now
goes to intermediate points, Sparta and Mil
ledgeville, and some that now goes around by
Atlanta will take this route.
Ihe writer in the Chronicle already referred |
to, has expressed some solicitude for the inter- <
ests of the Georgia Railroad, and kindly prom- j
ises an article to show how absurd it would be ]
for that Company to subscribe to the road, or
worse still, water its stock by amalgamation with j
it. !
His promised exposition is awaited patiently, j
but with much interest. In the meantime we *
believe the affairs of the Georgia Railroad Com*
pany are in competent hands, and in no present
need of additional guardians. It is an intelli
gent and prudent body of Stockholders, and
when they act deliberately they are not apt to
act absurdly.
The Ballet Troupe.
The houses nightly assembled this week to
witness the performances of this accomplished
troupe, have been pleased in a high degree, evi
dently showing that their expectations have
been fully met. Dancing seems an inherent
propensity of human nature, for in all nations?
savage and civilized, from the primitive ages to
the present day of refinement and luxury, it has
held a leading place in ceremonials and amuse
ments. Joyous festivals and religious ceremo-,*
nies,and the presiding divinities of love and war
have alike invoked the services of the votaries of
Terpsichore, until every variety of human emo
tion has become identified with the most grace
ful of all the arts.
This prevalent taste, which grows with the
progress of luxury and refinement in pleasure,
can now be gratified in Augusta, by witnessing
some of the most pleasing specimens of the art
of dancing, which have been afforded on the
American boards. The present troupe is an ac
complished one, each of the principal performers
having won high reputation upon the boards of
the leading European Theatres. To the indi
vidual graces of each, is added the sprightliness,
sentiment and fun of the plot, and the pantomime
of the ballet, its groups and tableaux vivant, which
all combine to make the entertainment com
plete.
We will not undertake a separate notice of
M’lles. Pouguad, Lavigne and Bu!aw,or of Mons.
Mege and Cornet, and Corby. But we might
say something complimentary of each, and still
leave unsaid much that they deserve as artistes.
They combine to form an attraction which mer
its a liberal patronage from all who have no
scruples against dancing and theatricals.
will be perceived by the bills, that to give
greater variety to,the entertainments, dramatic
pieces are introduced. We are pleased to wel
come the re-appearance of the accomplished ac"
tress, Miss Jane Dickens, on the Augusta boards.

Statistics of the Grave. —A recent num
ber of the Merchants’ Ledger estimates that
since the birth of our Saviour, 1853 years since,
thirty-two thousand millions of human beings
have lived upon the earth ; and of these all but
about nine hundred and sixty millions have gone
down to the grave. Os this great army of the
dead, nine thousand millions have died by war;
eight thousand millions by famine and pesti
lence; five hundred millions by martyrdom;
nearly six hundred millions by intoxicating
drinks, and the remaining thirteen thousand mil
lions neutrally or otherwise.
High Freights.— The Savannah Courier of
the 13th inst., says “ Under this head the Geor
gia Citizen remarks that a gentleman from Ma
con, while in New York last Summer, purchased
three package* of furniture at a cost of 843 50
which he shipped home via Savannah and Cen
tral Railroad. The ship bill of freight was
$5 25; and the Raiiroad expenses $7 23, making
a total of 812 48, or about 30 per cent on the cost
of the goods. It is this practical demonstration
of the cost of shipment per the Central Railroad,
and the steamers plying between New York and
Savannah, that has caused our merchants to look
with a favorable eye to the proposed Railroad
route via Warrentoa and Augusta to Charleston.
We think our Central road friends, as well as the
•people of Savannah, should take a hint from
these indications and lower their tariff on freights
from New York to this city, to a just *tandard
of reciprocal advantage to all parties in interest.

Augusta Market, Dec. 14—p. m.
COTTON.—There has been a good domand to
day, and sales have been readily effocted of all of
fered at yesterday’s quotations.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 25.—Tho sales this wock
amount to 41,180 bales, including 5740 on specula
tion. 2750 for export, and tho remaining 32,690 to
the trade. Pr ees are in favor of sobers, and par
tially 1-ltd a jd. dearer. Low Cottons are more
saleable. r
Politics look more peaceable. It appears that
the winter season will put a stop to fighting; and
in the meantime negotiations will be renewed.
The foreign exchanges, although still against us,
are better than last week.
The weather has been wet and cold.
The large body of operatives stiil continue on a
strike; several mills will be re-openod to give the
destitute an opportunity to resume work, and as
there is not tLo least prospect of an increase in
wages, the strikes mustfsoon come to an end.
The Niagara and Arctic brought us a confirma
tion of the frost accounts; but the crop was still es
timated at about three million bales, and prices
had not advanced further, this news had little ef
fect upon the market; holders, though firm, re
mained free sellers, but as the imports are small,
buyers have lesi choice, and with an increased de
mand during the last two days, extreme prices
were obtained, which in some sorts, show an ad
vance of l-16d a sd. Low Cotton on account of its
relative cheapness, has attracted mere attention,
and a few thousand bales at 4d , have been taken
on speculation.
To day the market closes very firm; the sales
reached 7,000 bales.
Tho stock of American Cotton continues to de
crease, but that of East India is increasing.
Manchester keeps dull, and prices are rather
lower; stocks appear to increase, notwithstanding
the reduced production. Buyers expect to see pri
ces lower on the cessation of strikes, but it is vory
likely they will bo disappointed.
Breadstuffs are again on the decline, there is
a pause in the country demand, and although
speculators operate to a small extent, it is not suffi
cient to keep up prices. W heat is Id. per bushel.
Flour 6 a 9d. per barrel, and Indian Corn Is. per
quarter lower, and sales are with difficulty effected.
MA V RE, Nov. 22.—We left our Cotton market
quite active, at the date of our last report by the
