DAVID H. LANE, in Chicago, on going to bcd, blew out hi8 gas and was found dead in the morn? ing. A bill is before the Alabama Legislature to di? vide the school fund pro rata between the white and black schools. The Now York College of Dentistry have just established a dispensary in Fifth avenue for the treatment of all complaints of that character for everybody desiring it, free of charge. Four hundred and throe vessels laid up in Chica? go include three steamers, nineteen propellers, thirty-five tugs, forty-eight barks, eighteen brigs, , and twenty-nine schooners. In the Legislature of Virginia, the Senate passed the House bill extending the time fixed ly the .j present Stow Law for payment of interest on old debts to August, 1867. The quantity of tea entered at the port of Lon? don for home consumption amounted in 1865 to not less than 61,000,000 pounds, which produced 62-65 per cent, of the whole duty collected in the United Kingdom. 1 President JOHNSON'S household is thuB organized Tinder a law passed by Congress at its last session: Private Secretary, ROBEBT JOHNSON.; Assistant Secretary, . ROBERT MOBBOW ; Secretary " to Eign land patents, EDWABD D. NFTT.TI ; .Aides-de-Camp, Col. W: G-. MOOEE," Lieut. Coi. "WEIGHT BrvEsr Col. ANDREW K. LONG. A gentleman who spent two years in the Oil Re? gions of Pennsylvania, after a careful examination, gives it as his opinion that' Chesterfield county, Va., is rich in Petroleum. A shaft is being sunk for this purpose within 600 yards of Coal Field de? pot, on theRxhmond and Danville Railroad, thir? teen miles from Richmond. The ladies of the Fredericksburg Memorial As? sociation gratefully acknowledge the receipt of six hundred dollars from the Memorial AsBOeiation of Montgomery, Alabama j through the hands-oT the Rev. Dr. SAMUEL K. COX, of that city. This fund is to be appropriated to reintor the remains of soldiers from Alabama who fell in that county. The New York Sun says : "Several hundred irish immigrants, recently arrived, are leaving this port every week, on their way back -to their j native land. They came here with false ideas of th? 'employment that awaits thejhj and Anding themselv?B disappointed, ithi?kj p|bverty.:i|i| tjieir own country: preferable "ter ?ima?r destitution among strangers." A dispatch from Portland, December 15, says: The rivers in Maine are about sealed np by tho ice; but i the extraordinary fine weather of the 'joist month enabled the lumbermen to send almost every foot of their produce, to. market. Attention is now being directed to lumbering in the woods, which will be conducted this winter to an unusual extent. A letter from Little Rock, Arkansas, says the es? timate heretofore^accepted for the cotton crop this year is greatly too large; not more than one-half the number of bales in 1860 will be made, though the cotton will class much higher, owing to the fa? vorable season for saving it. The writer puts down the entire crop of the Sonth at less than one million bales. A Kentucky'ge?tlem?n-?iid his wii?, of the high? est character, resided before the war sometimes at Frankfort and sometimes at Chicago. On the breaking ont of the war the husband* went into.the Confederacy. In 1862 he embarked oh a ship and ran the blockade. News came that the ship was lost, and he : was not heard from' until recently, when he made his appearance to find his wife mar? ried again. .> ThVP?limbnd Dispatch of Monday says: "Rev. JOHN A BBOADUS, of Greenville, S. C., will deliver two lectures before' the Young Men's -'Christian: Association, on Thursday and Friday nights next. We need not urge.our..readers, to.go-tau.hear this eloquent and able divm?i vVe promise, in advance, a rich intellectual treat to those who are so for? tunate as to be of the audience on dither occasion. The place of delivery will be announced in a few days." .... _. , . . The' British:Board of Trade, in its~latest pub? lished report, gives some important statements in regard to the density of population in various countries. According to this report, Great Bri? tain contains 285 persons to the square mile; Italy, 226; France, 180; Prussia, 179: Austria, 155; Spain, 84; Turkey, 19; the United States ll; the Russian Empire, 9; Russia in Europe, 32, and Brazil, 8. The eight European countries named are said to contain over 270,000,000 population. HORACE RANDALL, a relation of the WASHINGTON and other distinguished families of Virginia, is still living in Culpepper County, Va., at the age of 105. A letter which hel?te .to Gen. WASHINGTON in 1781, complaining of the atrocities of the traitor ABNO?Drm -Fauquief" County,"Va., WM~???nd"a? Moimi Vernon a few weeks ago, and sent to its au? thor, who recognized the. document as his own, and't??d of many cfrcumstanc?a" connected with the facts recorded in it. The Alexandria Gazelle has been informed by Dr. P?HL GREGORY that he has a specimen of gold and a small quantity of quartz found on land within six miles of that city, weighing two and a half ounces, which Professor HENEY thinks is a pure article. On the farm adjoining the one on which this specimen was found, the Doctor says he washed out seven ounces of gold inside of two days, and he is under the impression that this gold is found in the vein which runs through Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia; He has leased a large quantity of land in the vicinity of where his specimens were discovered. The New York Herald correspondence from Chi? huahua, JUAREZ' seat cf government in Mexico, is dated November 21. The Imperialists are engag? ed in withdrawing their troops from their outposts in the northern portion of the country, with the intention, doubtless, of concentrating about the capital In speaking of the losses in the country, the correspondent says of $8,000,000 of American working capital in four States, one-eighth remains, the rest having been used up by the French.

"Wolves and othor beasts of prey are known to be capable of acting in combination-of accom? plishing, to a considerable degree, concert of ac? tion-as long as there is a common danger threat? ening, or a good, fat victim in prospect, promising to moisten their exsiccated fauces ; but the mo? ment the danger is over, or the victim is secured and hors de combat, then commences the howl then the wolves commence to quarrel among them-' selves. It matters notwhat is the immediatei oc? casion of the "falling out," but a battle there must and will be. ,: .... - . . Bearing in mjnd this principle in nature, we have "for" some time been looking for the pro? drome of the coming storm. The Radicals have too much, power not to abuse it; and, on the other hand, there ara too many of them, and, in the very natuie of things, cannot all have fat places. Nothing more natural, therefore, than a quarrel about the spoils,and for this we have been watching. The indications of tho approach of this storm aro multiplying, and ere long it must break forth in full blast. .Some of our readers, perhaps, were surprised a few days ago!, on reading, in our tele? graphic columns, of the spicy debate between Messrs. SuaiNEB and WADE in the United States Senate... . l' '-? . It seems that the immediate cause of the quar? rel between these two Radical Senator**'was cre? ated from a motion of WADE to take up the Bill to admit Nebraska as a State. SOMNEB, in his usual dictatorial manner, opposed the motion, and in swaggering' terms denounced the Constitution of the proposed State uumeasuredly, as founding a "white man's government," charging WADE, after the manner of Penelope, of undoing one day what he had done the day (referring to the passage of tho Negro Suffrage Bill) before. WADE retorted that STTMHEB was not (what he appeared to as? sume) "the Senate," and proceeded in bitter words to repudiate his dictation, charging^him with voting for the Constitutional Amendment, which paved the way for the admission of Tennesssee, and consequently with gross inconsistency in op? posing the present measure, as if the Constitution, with respect to suffrage, were the same in the matter of excluding negroes. Both Senators were greatly excited-STJMMEE so much so that (always a diffuse and bungling speaker when he does not read his speeches) he could "scarcely utter an uv te?ligent sentence, but stammered and prevaricat? ed as to his precise status, thatjit is a doubt whether theihost expert stenographer caught enough of his. utterances, between his awkard gesticulations, to give anything like a correct account of his ex? planation. . THE SOUTHERN STATES TO BE TERRI TORIES. , Our readers cannot have failed to have noticed in our telegraphic columns of late, of the persis j.tent efforts of certain members bf Congress to make the Southern-States Territories. ; And though they cannot getiuto 'ih? Whole " secret Of the idea, they may reasonably infer that the invention of the Radicals is equal to all the demands that may arise. Congress, of course, is" well'aware of the uncon? stitutionality of the proposition, and cannot but dread, if moments of reflection ever come over that body, the consequences to arise from such a scheme, if peace and tranquility ever are to como to the country. - A grave.-question would arise, it seems to us, as to the appointment of the Gov-, ernors and other officials, and what process should be followed in breaking down the State Govern-) ments which are so far established. In discussing this question, even a Boston paper has the boldness to say that "Every department of the Government has air. ready recognized the existing State Governments of the South.: They were appealed to hy Congress itself to adopt the -Constitutional Amendment abolishing slavery; and when the institution was swept away by their act its. destruction was. ont-, .c?aly proclaimed by the Executive. Here, then, are the legislative and executive branches openly recognizing the Governments of the Southern States. The Supreme Court: of the United States is regularly hearing cases from the South, which have been continued from a period just previous td the rebellion; which is a -recognition by the ju? dicial branch of the Government 'also. More than .this, if these . State 'Governments .are- worthless," they weresa. when. i^gi?s^:rc?:ttp^J^.n?t h?V ing then-been, disturbad, it is fc'tharnu in jurispru? dence- that they may become established by mere custom and consent. At any rate; they have ac? quired an authority by the lapse of time which, in discussing a matter of tne kind, would have to be allowed much additional weight and force." .4 As THADDEUS STEVENS is the father of this revo? lutionary government, it is safe to say that ho will push it through Congress, and more particularly since many prominent members of that body, who are deemed Conservatives, say that the Radical resolution is strung up to a much higher pitch since the elections than before, we are " prepared to see the plan become a law. We see, also, in the general stagnation of busi? ness at the North, and the unquietness which per? vades the commercial circles of that section, that the sensible men are asking, "Where will this dif? ficulty end?" . With States levelled to Territories, and their : Governments parcelled out among party retainers, the land abandoned of industry, the social state a melancholy wreck, and universal gloom clouding the prospect, what will the South be worth to the Union ? How is it t o be expected to do its part in raising the needed revenues, in supplying com? merce with its resources, in answering the de? mands of manufacturers, and in giving a new im? pulse to the aspiration* of labor and enterprise? A GOOD EXAMPLE The despotic sovereign of Russia has just set an example which the Jacobins of the United States might follow with credit to themselves and advan? tage to the nation. For six years past the great Circassian chieftain, SCHAMXL, has been a prison? er in the hands of the Russian Government. He had fought the Russians heroically, with but limit? ed resources, for twenty yeais, and won many brilliant victories. Overpowered by numbers, he was at last compelled to succumb. After his sur? render he was treated with great consideration by his captors, and he recently yielded to the kindness of which he has been. the object, and notified the Czar that he was entirely subdued, and asked per? mission to take the oath of allegiance.. The Czar eagerly seized upon the opportunity of converting so powerful an enemy into a friend, and after th? administration of the oath released nim uncon ' fictionally. By this act of magnanimity he has secured the friendship of a people who, for nearly a quarter of a century, have been to Russia a con? stant source of trouble and alarm. .. The same policy here-would win' the friendship .?ft :' ' .' pf , ?South ern [people- attach.'thei? to^tli? Government hy ties which could not be ruptured or ! destroyed. Their weapons have been stricken from their hands, and further persecution caa have no other effect than to exasperate and repel them. The friendship of eight nxfllicns of people cannot safely be exchanged for their hate,-for, while their friendship would bo a tower of I strength to the Government, their hate would be an element of weakness, which might some day crumble the whole fabric into ruins. Is our Gov? ernment less wise and magnanimous than that of the Russian Czar ? We sliall see. . SUFFRAGE IN THE DISTRICT OF COL UM- j . BIA. The bfll enfranchising the negroes in the Dis- j -trict of Columbia baa passed the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, and only awaits the signature of the President to become a law. It was first supposed that *a bill making a certain mark of intelligence a voting basis, would be the one introduced; but it seems, from what wo ! learn from Washington, that that qualification was rejected by both Houses, because it was behoved ! that it concurred with the President's views. Thus it seems that Congress was unwilling to throw down I any door leading to a concert of action with the Executive. On what other theory their refusal to put into the . bill so sound and saving a principle was based, after having all these years preached J it, and some Ht them lived under it, it would j puzzle a conjurer to guess. They act consistently in ono respect only, and that is in their opposition to the President. Ho appears, af tor all, to be the sole principle of their cohesion, and they woul I fly apart at once if he were not there to hold them together in ?ho bonds of a common hatred of him. This is ind4fc a pretty party to prate of tho eleva? tion of a dorm-trodden race, while refusing to pro? vide the first condition for its improvement. State of Trade and thc Currency. We take the following from the New York Slvip I ping and Commercial List of the 12th: It is scarcely necessary to inf? m our local read? ers that trade is dull, a slow r. . ement being inci? dental to the close of the year, when the attention of business men is largely occupied in balancing accounts, preparatory to a fresh start. But what of the future? Those Who watch tho commercial signs of the times, and are given to forecasting the future, declare that the indications point un? erringly to changes which must affect the business interests of the country, for weal or woe, just in : proportion- as timely preparations are made to I meet them. It seems tobe regarded as a settled thing "that pur national taxation is to be reduced, because the product is at present so large as to warrant a re? mission, and because the burdens upon the people ', are quite too oppressive. The only doubt enter? tained upon this point is, that Congress may not ! sustain- the S?cretary of the Treasury in the plan he has marked, ont, looking to a return to specie i payments- ll that body fail to come up to the re? sponsibility of decided and proper action this winter, it will certainly be a matter of profound re gret, for the evil effects of an excessive and incon- ! j vertible currency, together with extreme rates of taxation, are felt with increasing pressure by the community at huge, although a few people un? doubtedly thrive by this abnormal state of affairs. SpecnlatOrsj by the aid of & fictitious capital de? rived from bank credits, are, to some extent, en? abled to. .dictate..the. .terms upon which an ex? change of commodities may be effected, and they will continue to exercise such baneful influence I just so long as Congress consents to give heed to the clamor and seductive appeals of the inflation? ists, who contend that if the volume of paper money is too large, the development of the country will soon restore the proportion between the currency and the business which uses it. In other words,; the. great mass of the peonle (must continue to suffer, and a feeling of nervous anxiety be maintained in the business work!," for an indefinite period* The great body of- the read? ing and thmkmg people, however, have, come to , understand the sophistry of :suoh arguments, and it is high time Congress should understand them, i too, and act accordingly. From whatever point pf view the snhjec^ia'aurveyedyit cannot t>e doubted that our currency is j largely in. excess of the de? mands of legitimate trade, and is, by" consequence, disastrously depressed. An unerring criterion ol' this is to be Been in the high prices of nearly every article of merchandise, some of which continue two or three fold above normal values. In fact, the evils that exist under the present state of the finances are so great, and then* influence is so pro? found that (adopting the language of the Boston Daily Advertiser) "even the distress incident to a, quick return teethe sp?ci? "basis, would- bis more tolerable, and at the end of a few years would leave : fewer traces of mischief upon the country at large, I than the continuance bf the present mania which is- implied in .what is : usually described as a 'gradual' return - to specie payments." If it were generally understood that specie payments ? would.; be resumed in; eighteen ' months,7th; accordance .-"frith : the conviction expressed by the Secretary of the Treasury, merchants and business men would, no doubt, so discount the fu? ture as to prevent any very serious commercial disasters:, wlieri the time should arrive for .the! . change,' but frdm the..present temper.bf pur"law. makers, we almost despair of seeing them take earnest and judicious action in. the matter, during the present sesada; Indeed, Congress has already set itself in opposition to the plan proposed by Secretary Mcculloch, as regards a more rapid contraction of the currency; and if it be the settled policy of .that body to. persevere in its present course, ia direct opposition^ to public sentriment, which undoubtedly favors".cpnservative contrac? tion, we shall have to make up our minds to wit? ness a continuance bf inordinate speculation, -fre? quent and ruinous fluctuations m commercial values, exorbitant prices ?Tfb?necessariee of Ufe, aad.a distorted export and import trade.: If, how? ever,. Congress should, by any possibility, awake to ? realizing: sense.of its duty to the people, and second the -earnest offerts of tho Treasury Depart? ment, the people would take courage; prices would gravitate towards: the ; normal base*, drooping in? dustries would" revive,' trade would' improve, and the terras "depreciated currency" and "gold pre-, j mium" would soon lose their significance, because of the fact that ? bank bill would soon have- the same purchasing power throughout the Union as corn. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The .Baltimore journals contain the annual re? port of President G ABBETT, showing the condition and prospects -of this gigantic corporation. We extract the following, which is;'-.pf -interest to our merchants and friends in the interior. The steamship line, alluded to, between Balti? more and Charleston, is represented in each city by MOBSBCAI & Co., and- COURTENAY & TBENHOLM: "Tho establishment of the linc of steamships be? tween Baltimore and Liverpool has answered the' most sanguine expectations formed in regard to this enterprise. During this period the steamers of this line have made fourteen voyages with pas? sengers and full cargoes to Liverpool, and twelve voyages with full cargoes and large numbers of pas? sengers from Liverpool. It was anticipated that arrangements would have been made prior to this period tor a line of large steamships, which the in? creasing business of the port requires, but in con? sequence of the derangements caused by the Eu? ropean war, the requisite arrangements were de? ferred. Negotiations are again pending, which it is hoped will result in securing large iron steamers of a capacity and character suitable ? for the exten? sive business aow offeringfor the Hue. I A very large amount of freight, destined for Bal? timore and cities West and South, was offered upon the sailing of the last steamer of the line from Liverpool, beyond its capacity. As full cargoes were being offered there, and shippers in Baltimore desired a much larger capacity than our regular steamers could offer, an Al iron ship, of 2000 tons, was: chartered, which is now loading at Liverpool, and .wiH soon sail for this port. TJce embarrassments connected with the Euro? pean war also delayed the dose of arrangements wph the Noith German Lloyd for a line of steam? ships to. run between Baltimore and Bremen. The recent correspondence with that company indicates that within a few days the agreement will be final? ly closed, which will insure the construction of two splendid first-class iron steamers, of 2500 tons capacity each, for the establishment of a perma? nent line betwixt Baltimore and Bremen, -..i ln this connection it is proper to state that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, with the South Carolina- Railroad Company, the Georgia Railroad Company, and merchants and others of Charleston and Baltimore, have joined in the for? mation of a Une of steamers, through which it is hoped the business betwixt Baltimore and Charles? ton will be placed upon an improved, ?tad deairabl?; basto. ; - ?OJS1OO0 ?|TT-A3?TEI> T5?!?n3D?ATXai.Y-A .
