WASHINGTON, January 1.-Notwithstanding the disa? greeable condition of the weather, the first Levee of President JOHNSON" was largely attended by foreign Min? isters, members of the Cabinet, and other prominent civil officers. The Senators and Representatives were ? received first-after which the ofiicers of tho Army, Navy and Marine Corps, followed by the citizens. They all afterwards paid their respects to General GBANT and Etan". Presout and conspicuous cmong the crowd was the Marine Baud, discoursing pleasant music. Tho pub? lic Departments wcro closed, and business was generally suspended. WASHINGTON, December 31.-Thc Government havo boen advised that Ute representation made to Spain in favor of peace with Chile, have so far prevailed that tho good offices of Prance sud England have been accepted opon the terms proposed by thom and the United States The Secretary and Assistant Secretary of State of tho United States embarked last night on beard tho U. 8. steamer DfSoto, for tho warm latitude of tho South Atlun tlc States.

NEW YORK, Decembor 2'J.-Tho steamship Australa? sian, from Liverpool ICth instant, has arrived. The Message of President JOHNSON was favorably re? ceived, and was regarded as friendly.

LIVERPOOL, Docember 16.-COTTON.-Thc sales of this .week wero 80,000 bales, including 1-2,000 to speculators, and]22,000 to exporters. Tho market opened dull, at a decline of ,'.'d., but rocovered, closing with au advance of>4rty thonsaud perished in tho service. In natural wealth, her loss in cue specie* of property alone, that "1 slaves, is uot less fhau .??:.';O,(I'I(I>(JIJU; and the aggregate amount ot' losses of the various other descriptions cf property must be equally as much. Hence we lind that in this State alone we have sustained a loss in actual and substantial wealth of at least $.'>UO,90O,0O0. I think we may all profit much by contrasting thc 1 prosperity and happiness which our country enjoyed at the beginning of tho recent war, with Its crippled and nhimst ruined condition. lu doing this wc shall forget the contentions, bickerings, passious, excitements and dissensions through which wc have passed; or if we cannot forget, at least let us rise ibave thom. Let us bo as one man, mid if we are unablo to recover that which has been lost, it becomes us to bend our united energies in saving and improving that which remains to us. The war closed with Andrew Johnson as President of the United States. Thc South lay prostrate and helpless at the feet of Federal power. During the war the legisla? tion of Congress was necessarily tinged with the passions of the times, and upon tho return of peace there were found upon the national statute books some of thc most stringent and proscriptive laws for the punishment of persons and confiscation of property. Tuero was but ono way by which wc could cecapc the penalties of those rigorous enactments, and that was through thc pardon? ing power of thc President. The Governor discusses other points as follows: "The reconstruction, or restoration, policy of thc Presi? dent was duly submitted to the people Of Alabama, and has been unhesitatingly accepted by them. It may be safely asserted that, as far as the work of reconstruction has progressed in this State, it has been in strict con? formity with what was understood to be thc policy of thc general government. Without undue murmuring, and in perfect good faith, our people have patriotically con? formed to all the exigencies of the situation. They fully and fairly accept the results of the war with ali tin ir legitimate consequences. "In.the year UH5 tho bondod liabilities of Alabama amounted to over $10,000,000. This heavy Indebtedness was created, in part at least, by a system of banking, tho goners! operations of which woro detrimental to tho public intere-aL But by a WIBO and judicious policy this- large debt bas been so far reduced that our liabili? ties on account of Stato bonds of thc proscut time amount to only $3,445,000. These bonds ore payable at* follows : $2,101.000, payablo in the city of New YorJt, and bearing only 5 per cent, interest; S048,0?0, payalile in London, aud bearing also 5 per cent, interest, and the remaining $688,000, payable HkewiFe lu London, bearing an interest of C per cent, per annum. This is comparatively a small debt, which comes completely within tho financial control and management of the State. "A sudden radical change has been wrought in our labor system. The extancUon of slavery is ono of the inevitable results of tho war. The relation heretofore subsisting between the whites and blacks has been to? tally changed. The negroes aro now freo, and this stub? born fact is fully and unequivocally recognized. How far governments! action may bo ablo to promote tho common interest of tho two races, in their suddenly changed condition, is a problem which time alone can solve. "Thc normal vocation of tho nogro is that of a culti? vator of tho soiL Tho soil and climate of Alabama arc peculiarly adapted to the growth of cotton-that great staple which wields a most potent influence in thc com? mercial worleL Land-owners are dependant on tho ne? groes for thc labor which is necessary to produco cotton. lands, to mnke themselves an independent living. In their new condition their future happiness or misery de? pends entirely upon themselves. They will find no dis? position on the part of tho whites to oppress them or withhold from them auy of those rights to which they aru entitled as freedmen." Thc Riot in Alexandria. Thc Alexauelria (Va.) Journal, in giving au account of the riot thereon Christmas, says: Whiskey flowed in streams from many restaurants, anet from some lt was dealt out as liberally "to thc colored people as to tlie whites. Lurly in the morning it was observed that ali thc young reconstructed wars well armed. Bloting commenced at an early hour in tho morning, aud by one o'clock P. M. had assumed such fearful pro? portions that the Mayor found it necessary to call upon ~ -unitary authorities to suppress it. Three companies v. ancock's veterans were forthwith, ordered out, and proceeded to arrest every erne found engaged hi rioting aud disorderly conduct. Many persons had been se? riously and dangerously wounded before they appeared on tko scene ol'action. It was found that between fifty and a hundred of the ringleaders of tho various disturbances then goiug on throughout tho city woro mostly sent to the stall-pen, and there compelled to remain during thc remainder of thc day. Some of them were yesterday morning released, while the more guilty are still in confinement. It seems tho first reports wero exaggerated, as the Jciiru.il says some fifty or one hundred were badly beaten ; but, so far as we have been ablo to learn, biit two were so badly injured as to preclude tho hope of re? covery. . Puring thc day a most unprovoked shot is reported to havo oecurrod at Chapell Hall, whero a number of colored people wore holding a party. A -white man, by the name of Mitchell, who is said to have participates iu the riot, was seriously wounded iu the head, aud at ono o'clock this af tcraoon hts death was currently reported. Another report states that his inju? ries are very slight, and that no fears were entertained of EcrloHs results from his wounds. Tho day was one of "fear aud trembling" for all quiet and well-disposed perrons, and had it not beeu for tue interposition of tho military authorities, the worst fears ol' this portion of our community would have been moro than realized. We thank them for their assistance, and for suppressing what at ono time promised to bc a most fearful riot. Major-Goneral Auger has ordered Lieut. Col. Eyre, commanding at Alexandria, to bc active in arresting all parties who had boen concerned in the riots, and directs him not to release any persons arrested on the demands of the civil authorities, and to reveal such demands to department headquarters. WHAT THE? SAY.-Th3 English papers aro praising President JOHNSON and his policy. The London Times thinks that bis confidence in thc South and tho bold liberality of his policy, arc not likely to be ia vaiu. The JW wi characterizes his administration as sagacious and prudent. The Telegraph says it affords both u crushing rebuke to tho believers in au outworn diplomacy and a splendid encouragement to those who believe in the ca? pacity of a freo people to select flt miers, when one sees that this self-taught tailor of Tennessee, by virtuo of his direct sincerity of purpose and his homely mother wit, bids fair t^ succeed in a task which might have sorely tried tho statecraft of a Richelieu. Tho tory Herald says that the President has agreeably disappointed at least one-half ot ehe world by a wise and statesmanlike policy that will givo him a high place in the pantheon of American worthies. TUE SENATE COMMITTEES.-New England ought not certainly grumblo ut anything Congress determines to do for tho South, no matter how liberal. She certainly has her share of important places which in a measure control matters in the Senate. Look al tho following list of chairmen of prominent committees: Mamifac. ores-Spraguc, of Ilhode Island. Military Affairs-Wilson, of Massachusetts. Foreign Affairs-Sumner, of Massachusetts. Finance-Fessenden, ol' Maine. Postofflce-Dixon, of Connecticut. Claims-Clark, of New Hampshire. District ot" Columbia-Dixon, of Connecticut. VIBGIMA.-Tho Governor of Virginia i a his Message says the Stato owes $41,000,000, and has $2:?,000,O0U of available assets. The interest due on January 1st was over $6,000,000. He recommends a tax upon tho oyster busincsn; and the sale of tho Suites interest in railways, which might reduce the debt by $15,000,000. The re? peal of tho usury laws is recommended, and the Message closes with an exhortation to support the Union in the payment of taxes and every other way. TUE Sou ru CAROLINA AND CENTRAL RAILROADS.-Our I always well informed contemporary of Augusta {the : ConstltutionalUl) bas the following information, which j will bc of interest to our readers: Tho I rains arc now r un n in g daily on tim Augusta branch of tho Central Railroad, leaving Augusta a: six in the ? morning, connecting with a lino of nacki running be? nwell Luffipkin anti station -ix and a half. The Btaging I on this road is now minced to 22 miles, and the.travel i is now by daylight instead of night, as heretofore. Thia \ i- lunch moro comfortable and convenient for persons | desiring to go by rail instead of by the river. Persons ? leaving Augusta at fi A. M. arrive in Savannah at 10:15 j P. M. The. faro from Augusta to Savannah is $12 50. Alter Use 1st of January daily trains will leave on the Augusta brniu-h of thc south Carolina Railroad, connect? lug willi hacks at Johnson's Turnout, which leave, soon ; nil. r the arrival of each' train, for Midway, where they ? arrive in time to meet tho train for Charleston next illuming. Tho train fruin Augusta will leave daily st 3 j P.M., returning from Johnson's at 7:18 A. M. daily. Through tickets to Cli.irle.-tou. including stage fare, can be procured at thc ticket office. Wc announce with pleasure thc resumption of dil!) travel on these roads, and anxiously look forward to thu 1 time when the iron horse will ride over their entire | length, connecting our eily by rail with Savannah u:id i Coarlu?toii. President Johnson is still very reticent upon thc sub? ject of appointments. Ile declines absolutely to appoint any person to oflico upon tho recommendation of a Con? gressman or Senator who docs not sup; ort his policy, ile is fixed also m his determination to pursue his recon? struction policy to the end. Congress may do as lt Ilienses; bc is determined that, so far as in him lies, the Southern States shall bo regarded as Slates. Ho will let them perform all their local functions and elect their own rulers, and the only drawback they will bavo is a want of representation in Congress. If tho present Congress docs not grant them this, President Johnson la sure that au appeal to tho people will elect a represen? tativo body that will ndmit tho .southern Congressmen. MAR HIED.

PEZ ANT, both of Charleston. * [ADVERTISEMENT.] ACCIDENTS.-That all mankind are constantly liable to I accidents more or less serious in their effects, a minute's reflection will convince tho most sceptical. A work? man, after coming home ba tho evening, while playing with his children, has met his death by thc accidental moving of n knife he had been using at his work and, still carried about his person. A mechanic roturnlng hom? at night has in tho dark fallen into a pr?, broken his leg and nearly lost his life. A gentleman, whilo pruning his trees in his garden, haB fallen from his step ladder and dislocated his ankle. A gentleman, while in his omeo, uas been seriously, if not dangerously, ^wounded by thc accidental discharge of a pistol in the hands of a friend; and a recent incident which occurred in our city shows that even jurymen, whilo sitting In the discharge of their duties in tho halls of justice, aro still in danger of injury or death from that constant liability to accident from which no man can hopo to escape. Tho incidents wc havo cited above arc such as karo oc? curred in tho ordinary avocations of Rfc, whero ap? parently there was not tho remotest sign or apprehen? sion of danger. At home with our family, all in robust and vigorous health, who would suppose that death was lurking there? Returning homo from work at night by a way that had often been trodden beforo in perfect safoty, who would expect t incur personal damage from a dangerous fall ? On going into a gardon for recreation nnd exercise, who could supposo that danger was nigh ? Or, While conversing with a friend In nn Qitioo, or Hitting '".'fftn 'urv-fr"t in tho Court-r -r?^ how i? lt possnl? that danger com j be i?rusenf?-''/et what wo have just related aro all facts, and they chow that danger may bo nigh, even when we least expect lt. And it should bc borne in mind that in relating the accidents above mentioned, wo havo confined ourselves to those cases whore there was tho least exposure to risk. When wc refer to those,instauce3 of personal injury aris? ing from accidents received in tho workshop, trnvellug in railroad cars, or the stage, thu facts might bo greatly multiplied, showing that no one should imagine himself exempt at any lime from accident, whether he bo at homo or abroad. We should realize tho fact that liability to accident is one of thc inevitable concomitants of man's existence hore. We cannot entirely escape it by any possiblo pre? cautions wc may take. Let a man, by extraordinary care, avoid danger in every possiblo way, yet ho may still suffer injury or death from an accidental cause, un? seen beforehand, and, therefore, not guarded against. His thc very naturo of an accident that lt is unfore? seen and takes us unawares. Could it bc forosecn, it might be avoided and no damage accrue. But, taking us always unexpectedly, the accident happens before we can escnpo, nnd wo thus suffer unavoidably, from the in? jury. No ono can properly say: "I am not liable to acci? dent." This liability constantly attends every one. It surrounds us in front and rear, on tho right hand and on tho lefl, above our heads and beneath our feet; in the hou:;"- as woll as abroad; in tho morning as well as at j noon, and at night. In no place, at no time, and under no circumstances, can wo bo said to bo entirely freo from liability to personal accident. Although wc cannot, by any foresight, preservo our? selves from accident, wc may avoid some of the evils it entails by making provision against tho pecuniary loss that would ensue to ourselves or families, in death oi disability of one who may bo tho solo support of his wife and children. Such being thc case, is lt not tho dictato of a wisc fore? cast to make such provision as may bo within our power to mitigate, in sorao measure, if wc cannot avoid, all tho evils arising from accidents? Although we cannot, by any foresight, preserve ourselves entirely from ncci'ient, yet wo muy avoid some of thc evils it entails, by making provision against tho pecuniary loss that would cusuo to ourselves, or our families, should we incur injury or death from accidental causes. This pecuniary loss to a family, arising from the death or disability of ono who may be tho solo support of his wife and children, adds poignancy to tho grief which such an event must occa? sion; and thc opportunity, if offered to us, of avoiding such loss, and thereby mitigating tho evil, should not bc allowed lo pass unheeded and unimproved. This opportunity is now offered by tho Travelers' Insu? rance Company, ofHnrtford, of which Messrs. W. B. BERIOT & Co., No. 240 King-street, aro tho Agents in this city, where, for a very moderate consideration, a policy can bo obtained-insuriug to your family, in case of your death from accident, tho sum of $1000 up to $10,000; or, lu case of your being disabled from attend? ing t> business by au accident, tho payment of from $10 to $50 por week whilo so disabled, not exceeding twenty six weeks from any one accidout. This is no impious plan "to refute tho awards of providoncc, and not to rest in Heaven's determination." Tho policy above referred to doos not engage that the holder of it shall not meet with an accident, but that the pocuularj* loss entailed on the sufferer by the event, I shall, to a certain stipulated extent, bo home by the | Company. This is an ordinary business transaction, and like any other transaction in which one party for a consideration, undertakes to do for another what that other cannot do for himself, violates no decree of the Majesty on High. The fact is that, surrounded ns wo aro by impending danger unseen by us, and, therefore, the more immi? nent, wo should porlsb were it not that we ore protected at all times by an all-seeing and all-merciful Providence, who "redeemcth our lives from destruction, and crown eth us with loving kindness and tender mercy." And although in His infinito wisdom he does see fit to per? mit tho evils of accident to happen to us, yet ho does not forbid our mitigating to those who aro near and dear to us Bomo of the evils to which onr suffering from acci? dent subjects them.

AN APPEAL TO THE CITIZENS OF CHARLESTON IX EEU.VLF or TUE STONEWALL FIRE ENGINE COMPANY: Wc, tho undersigned, a como ittec appointed for that purpose, respectfully solicit thc aid of the community in hclialf of thc STONEWALL FIRE ENGINE COM PAKT, in procuring the funds necessary for repairing their present apparatus. Wo do this with full confidence in a cheerful and ready response, remembering that the sen-ices of our Fire Department have always been warmly appreciated by thc public, who have never answered its appeals but with a hearty, generous and substantial support. The interests deeply concerned in tho maintenance of a weil regulated and properly equipped PIKE CORPS aro too obvions to bo adverted to, and it would, no doubt, be sufficient merely to show that these interests are.involvcd, to meet with approval and encouragement. But, besides this, thc claims of tho Firemen appeal to tho honest pride of the citizens of Charleston. Shortly bolore tho war, beside tho reputation long enjoyed for good order and efficiency, superior perhaps to those of any other city of tho Union, they wore possessed of apparatus which could comparo'favorably with any. Many of these, from various causes, havo bcon injured or destroyed, and while wo cannot oxpecfso greaten injury to, be at once repaired, still much can be done by which thoy will be enabled to afford a timely and effec? tual aid, and to sustain their former reputation. Tho mombers of the STONEWALL FIRE ENGINE COMPANY havo organized themselves with thc desiro to meet and sustain the requirements of the high standard of our Flro Department, and trust that their efforts already mado in that behalf have met with your approval, and that you will now afford substantial en? couragement to their future exertions. Wc do not ask for a NEW ENGINE; wo simply desiro that thc ono now in usc may be placed in good working order, and to that end request your assistance. Thc committee will wait upon the citizens and be happy to receive any contributions. COMMITTEE : THAD. C. JOWETT.Chairman. J. E. BOINEST, I THEO. A SMITH, C. A. AIMAR, E. E. PELOT, L. 8HEBFE5SE, J J.
