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.

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 lonega Signal , lQth insl. 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. May«r of Macoa. Dr. E. L.

Nelson, the Agents for the sale of Fairbanks Scales in this city. They have on hand a large supply of the different va rieties manufactured, and dispose of them at Northern prices. Those in want of a good ar ticle will save money by giving them a call. Shanghi'a, &c. Some fifteen to twenty coops of Sbanghi’s, Pootra’s, and Chittagong Fowls were sold yes terday by Messrs. C. E. Grenville & Co. The sale was well attended, and the prices paid ranged fiom $2 to $6 a piece—the latter price for the Bramah Pootras. 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. 8 Education in Alabama.—ln the Alabama Legislature a very important school bill has been - introduced by Mr. Walker, of Mobile, and an - other by Mr. Hall, of Autauga, both of which i have been ordered to be printed. The provi l sions ot Mr. Walker’s bill are exceedingly libe -1 ral; besides numerous other sources of revenue, . it provides for obtaining funds by setting apart i one-fifth the State revenue, by taxing every vo s ter one dollar annually, by the relinquishment to the schools of the State’s escheats, and by t county and city taxation. It also provides for the thorough organization, and management of a I general educational system, under the super t vision of a General Superintendant, to be ap pointed by the Governor, at an anaual salary of . $2 ; 500.

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.

My wife has been afflicted with it for twenty years, most of tin time suffering excruciating pains in every part of her body. Having no appetite whatever, she wa3 reduced to almost a skeleton. So violent were ; the pains that she seldom could sleep without tak | ing largo doses of opium. Every joint was swelled | very much, and her knees, hands and neck covered | with largo lumps. Sfao could do no kind of work i the sinews and muscles being so hard and contract- I cd that her limbs were drawn together, so that she ; was obiged to be in bed constantly.
