Ttm ]>uaUl of KUh >p Elliott, of Uenrgia. Stephen El iot, Bishop of Georgia, died at Savannah, Georgia, on Friduy night, lie had just returned from a brief visit to tho interior in tho dis charge of his Episcopal functions. lie left tlio cars in apparently perfect health, and soou after reaching Savan nah, expired, doubtless from botut die ease. The deceased wus born ut Beaufort, S. C , in 180 C, and was consequently sixty years of age at the time of his death. He graduated at Harvard College in 1824, and after several years spent in travel and study, was ordained a deacon of tho Protestant Episcopal Church in 1835, and n priest in the following year. Boon after this last ! ordination lit was appointed to a pro fessor, hip of sacred literature in tho Bouth Carolina College, in which ca pacity he continued until 1840, when he was elected Bishop of the diocese of Georgia, end io February, 1841, was conseeratod. During tho past twenty hvo years Bishop Elliott, be came known to tho people of United States for his great abilities, and ora torical powers. Without possessing the fascinating manners ol Beeeltor, there was nevertheless, a foreo of ox pression in his lar.guago, and an apt ness in bis similies, that made bin a deservedly popular preacher. Ys a humorist the Bishop wus well known, many of his sallies being current say ings in Georgia and South Carolina. With a large majority of the Sou’hern clergy, tho deceased espoused the doc trine of secession, and gave to the South his fullest support. After the closo of the war ho made a trip to the North, collecting funds in behalf of tho poor of his section, and was very successful! in his efforts The private character of Bi-hop El iott was pure, and was recognize! throughout the country as uniting the strides' integ rity with tho most charitable consider ations. His death will be greatly la mented by the Episcopalians through out the United States in general. Tlic Coining Year.

It ccems from the following dispatch from the West, that the trouble with , the red sboriginr es is not yet at an end. And it is a matter of surprise to us that tho “greatest government under the , sun,” can spare troops to scatter over j the mest civil'zed, portions of the coun- j try, while a few hundred Indians are j allowed to disturb the peace of one sec tier, and massacre the small garrisons j of the government troops. It is one of the natural fruits however, of the inevitable ruinous policy of that Radi cal majority, which is not only deter mined to “rule or ruin,” hut to rule and ruin both. Here is the dispatch : Fort Laramie, Dee. 27.—The In dians are very troublesome, and the troops at Fort Kearney have been al most in a state of .feige for weeks past. On the 23d a number of Irdiar.B came near tbe post, and Brevet Lient Col. W. J. Fieteman, Capt. T. H. Browne, and Lieut. Grammond, all of tbe 18th lufantry, gathered hastily 39 men of Company C.

Atthis time her bul warks wero stove in, the forward decks washed, and htr smoke stacks ! Mi The excitement now became in tense, and all attempted to become re signed to their fate, but evert counte nance depicted utter despair. Many o: gaged in prayer, and a lew lost their self possession. Indue of thej vess-1 the stoves toppled, and it was by tbe u'most effirts ol tne commander and others that the vessel was saved from burning up. There was an alarm of fire, but tbe flames were extinguished. At 10 o’clock the tires were all put out and danger front that source av idod for two hour*. The vessel drifted at tho mercy of the waves, the captain nod crew being successful only in keeping her headed nearly South. The flood ti le setting her tow ards tho Long Island shore at' 2a. m., Horton's Point was made.— | The gale continued without abatement and she gradually drifted into a little bay about two nnles West of Horton Point. Light Anchors were then drop ped in about two fathoms o' water.— Part of the cargo had been thrown overboard. The pumps were kept con s'antly at work, at tho same time two lines of buffers were formed and did service. In this condition the boat lay until daylight, when tho water gained so rapidly that it wai decide! to beach the vessel, which was done mo t suc cessfully. Tho gale soon became still more ferocious, if such were possible. Tue life-boats were lowered, and one was finally landed in the breakers.- Soon a line was got ashore. The boats were manned and controlled until sev eral loads of passengers, comprising the whole, were salt ly landed. The vessel afterwards broke to peices. Soiling Convict Labor iu Ulnr)- lactl.

They were sold by order ol Judge Magruder. These negroes are of the worst class blacks, and were al anxious to be sold, preferiingto buy themselves than to go to the peniten tiary. Judge Magruder is anxious to make a case go before the Supremo Court, to test the Civil Rights bill. He has b en indicted by the Grand Jury of the United States Court for disregard ing the Civil Rights bill and refusing negro te-timony.

Ninty millions of gallons of whiskey were made in tho United States in 1860 ace irding tj tho coosus, while the last report if the Ilovenus Commit.:ionns returned but ten millions. This enor mous deficit noy is not to be accountid for by any decrease in cither demand or supply, but sol ly by the tact that the tax on whi.-key is now two dollars a gal lon. The special committee which Con gress appoit tod to invcstlgut the frauds in the lieveiiuo Department has work enough before it; for even i( we tuppo.c that tbe tax has decreased tho manufac tory of whiskey thirty millions of gal lons since 1860, there would still l e cause to suspect that the Treasury fcas been defaulted of $100,000,000. All j 'hat wo have published of the frauds iu i this city is notbiug compared to those j undiscovered ; yet the oommittco has [ learned that there are three thousand small distilleries in this city where whiskey is illegally male, 1 nod that Government iffloers protect the swindle. To complete ils investi gation here the committee will reassem ble in New York in January, and will , afterward visit the principle Wcs ! tern cilies. The work seems as endless as that or the Dauaides; lut even the j imperfect investigation, which we all I can reasonable expect, w ill save millions Jof dollars. Os more permanent impor tance is the effort the “comrnittae will make to recognize the revenue syst<m, sobs to prevent future fraud; but the decussion of the methods proposed is premature before their work is done and their report submitted to Congress.

Important Decision. We copy the following from the Montgomery Mail of the 7th : The first case on docket this morning was that of A. SakraeiMor vt William B. Ilall, on the following (acts. Dur ing the war tho plain iff purchase! from tho defendant seventeen thousand pounds of cotton, for which be paid Ilall in Ciinfede r ate money, Hall obli gating himself to deliver the cot'on to p>l..iotiff. This be failed to do, and tho plaintiff now brings this action to i compel the delivery of the cotton so | purchased. The p'ainliff pleaded that ! Confederate money was not a valid or j legal consideration, and hence ho could not be compelled to make the delivery. To thi“ plea the pdaindff demurred. The Court after argument over ruled the demurrer, and decided that, tho plea !of the defendant was good and he should not bo compelled to make tbe i delivery. I He nee the broad doctrine is laid ! down in the District Courts of Alaba ! in:', that Confederate money is not n valid or legal consideration. This d> 'ci in vast y aff.c’s a number of finan - cial opela'i >ns iu the State. * Messrs- Chilton and Thoringr,on ap peared for Sikffieistcr, aid Messrs I VY’atts and Tyler for tee defendant. It may be proper to add, that the cot. ton stipulated to be delivered was burnt by tho Federal forers; this in no wise affected the legal d-te. ruination of the suit, however. The Price of Cotton —A rood au hority estimates the want of the world at 5,500,000 bales. Putting down the South f r 2,000,000 bales— whieh is above the mars—tho East Indies for 600,000, Egypt for 800,000, and Brazil for 130,000 bales, gives a supplv of only 3,030,000 bales. Set ting tho stocks on hand at the begin ning f f the year against the stocks that w ill be on hand at the close, we have then a deficiency of 2,000.000 bales. The price of cotton must ad vance, and it will probably advance, more inproportion than the lack of sup ply would seem at fiist night to require It is considered erroneous to suppose tint tho price ofun article of consump tion advances in the proportion that the supply recedes If tho supply of flour, for instance, wore to diminish one half, the efiket wou’d to to raise the price more than double. Some think it is more fair to presume that it would be quadruppled in uurket value. Be that as it may, cotton must advance, provided the currency re mains as it is.
