About two thousand milos of telegraph poles have already boen erected in Asia and America on the Overland International line. Massachusetts has three negroes in her Legisla? ture, and taree hundred and thirty-four in the State Prison. At the late session of the Legislature of Ala? bama six new counties were created, namely : Baine, Bullock, Clay, Cleburne, Crenshaw. and Lee. The editor of Good Words aBkod Miss MULOCH the other day, to write a tale for him, and she re? plied that she would do so if he liked, but not for a less sum than $8,500 in gold Tho sum of $70,000 per week ?s paid to mechanics employed on the buildings now erecting in placo of those destroyed by the groat fire at Portland, j Maine. A California paper tells of a lady in Alma who be? came a grandmother on the day she was twenty four years old. In this latitude such cases aro rare, but not in tropical countries, where humanity comes to maturity much sooner. It is stated that at the recent New York Central Railroad election, LEGRAND LOCKWOOD voted on $4,600,003 of stock; HENRY TVRTTP on $3,500,000, and CORNELIUS VANDKRB H,T on $2,500,000-all standing ' on the books of the company in their own names. ] In consequence of orders from Gen. SCHOFIELD, commanding Department of Virginia, ? that all Government horses and mules in the hands of private parties shall ho given np, those having stich, without a hill of sale, are rapidly running them into the mountains. Application was made on Wednesday before Chief Justice CHASE for a Writ of Habeas Corpus in the case of Dr. MUDD, imprisoned at the Dry Tortugas for alleged complicity in the assassina? tion of LINCOLN. The application was made by A. STEBBETT RtDQLT, of the Baltimore Bar. Hon. RSVEBDX JOHNSON is retained in the case. The Philadelphia Press, of the 21st, says a re? port was presented to the City Council yesterday hy the Committee on the GIRARD Estate. It shows the trust to be in flourishing condition, the esti? mated gross revenues for 1866 being $330,000, an increase of fifty per cent, over the revenues of 1865. A.New Orleans dispatch, December 20, says: " "Lieutenant-General SHERMAN arrived here this evening from Brownsville, his mission having proven a failure, because of the refusal of the Im? perial authorities to grant him a pass across then lines to reach Chihuahua. He left Minister CAMPBELL at Brownsville, who would proceed im? mediately to JUABEZ'S headquarters.". Major-General THOMAS J. WOOD, commanding the District of Mississippi, has issued a circular, thanking Northern charitable societies for what they have done to educate the negro, and also the many planters who have assured them that they would establish, during the coming year, planta? tion schools for the education of tho children of their colored laborers, and make arrangements to have religious instruction given to the whole. The New Orleans Bulletin announces that "Nash? ville has twelve cotton mills, which support 1620 persons, and represents a capital of $673,500." Upon which the Nashville Union comments: "It means, doubtless, that that is just what we are going to have when we wake up out of our sleep, rub the sand out of our eyes, and see what would be most for our interest individually and collec? tively." The ultimate efiects of English colliery explo? sions is the subject of an article in the Philadel? phia Ledger, which says: "Coal mining'in England has been overdone, and there is little doubt that much capital now invested in it will seek new fields of labor. Our coal and iron minos will thus, from natural causes, draw both laborers and capitalists from Europe. The former, when here, often be? come the latter. There are mines owned in the interior of this State hymen who worked in them years ago, and there are banks whose presidents formerly were coalminers." The New Orleans excursion party left Washing? ton on Priday morning, under the escort of Col. A. H. M ASHLAND. In the party will be Senators WADE, RAMSEY, LANE, and FOSTER, accompanied by their ladies; Senators HENDRICKS and NORTON, and Representatives DELANO, WALKER, BUCKLAND, and HAYES, of Ohio; KERR, of INDIANA; LAETJN, of New York; NOWELL, of New Jersey; 5IARSBALZI3 of Hliuois; KABSON, of Iowa; WHALBY, of West Vir? ginia; JOHN L. THOMAS, of Maryland; General O. O. HOWARD, Chief of Freedmen's Bureau; GEORGE T. BROWN, Sergeant-at-arms to the Senate; and a son of the Secretary of War-STANTON-will bo of "Hie party. The New York Herald, of the 21st, says : " Our files from the Bahamas are dated at Nassau, N. P., on the 24th cf November. The British war steam? er Ninible was afloat, having been released from the position she occupied on shore since the hur? ricane, lat Nassau the work of rebuilding con? tinued ra^xuly, the arrival of carpenters from New York having given additional impetus to the resi? dent workmen. The ruins of Trinity Wesleyan chapel are being cleared away. Several extensive warehouses were also being rapidly pushed to com? pletion. Our special dispatch from New Orleans states that Gen. SHERMAN and his staff arrived at that city yesterday. He had an interview with Es COBEDO at Matamoras, where Minister CAMPBELL remained, with the intention of soon proceeding to Monterey. Gen. SHERMAN will await orders from the War Department, and the Susquehanna will await orders from the Navy Department. The St. Paul Press gives some interesting facts with regard to the navigation of the Upper Missis -sippi. The last season began April 19, and closed .November 23, lasting, therefore, two hundred and twenty-six days, about the average period. The season is retarded by Lake Pepin, which does not thaw out until a week or fortnight after the river, above and below, is open and free from: ice. Be- ! sides, the steamboat men generally withdraw their boats before it is really necessary. The number . ?f steamboats engaged in the river trade register? ed, at St. Paul and Dubuque this season, was sixty-three ; number of arrivals at St. Pani, 1051 ; bull tonnagerl0,921. Barges have come into gene? ral use only in the last few years. Yet there are ?pw.eixfcy-one barges .and'flats registered at St. Paul, with a tonnage of 5048 tons.

CHARLESTON. MONDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 24,1866. TBE SO UTE CAROLINA LEGISLA TURE. The adjournment of this body on Friday last, and the publication of the "Acts"' passed at thc late session, afford us an opportunity ol making a few remarks upon the Legislature, and upon some of these Acts. The work of this session was unusually heavy; and, although a great part of it onlj has a restricted local interest, it was neverthe less necessary to be done. Towns and vii lagos, churches, schools, railroads, bridges, in surance and planting companies, etc., all eithe petitioned for ne.w charters or for a modifica tion of the old ones. The machinery of socio ty and government, together with all the ap purtenances incident to a high state of civili zation. were ours up to the time of the war, to a large extent, up to the close of the wai But then came chaos; and for nearly tw years our citizens, both public and private have been engaged in endeavoring to wor order out of this chaos. Society is still in nascent condition, and the plastic hand of tl Legislature is called in to assist in giving shape and form. The discerning reader will readily see th: under such circumstances, and at times lil these, thc State stood in need of strong, wis fur-seeing men, of - tried virtue, statesmen ; the most comprehensive sense of the teri When we consider the delicate relations, mor over, now subsisting between the State and tl Government of the United States, the necess ty becomes still more apparent. The ship state is in dangerous seas, and requires a wi head, a strong hand and a steady, to bring h safely into port. Whether or not the materiel of our Legisl ture is quite up to these requirements, it p< haps does not become us to say. Some of th< legislation we approve, and even commet some again is opposed to our views of polic On this subject, however, we cannot c press ourselves explicitly, as but few of t Acts have been published as yet, and we ot know of them by their titles, i Repudiation, we understand, again thr out her antennae, feeling for a stand-poi i hut, we are glad to say, was prom ly discountenanced, and made to shrink bs \ to lier hiding place of darkness. The JE J DAVIS resolutions, offered at an early part j the session, and creating considerable disc i sion a few weeks after, very properly were definitely postponed,-not from want of spect for, or sympathy with, Mr. DAVIS, because their agitation by the South Carol Legislature, at this time, could lead to no g result. A city paper erroneously stated t the resolutions passed both Houses; this in ligence was at once telegraphed North, : has been the occasion of very many long tuxes and editorial leaders. It is consider? good text upon which to hang a sermon on continued rebelliousness of South Carolina. But what will excite most attention the Appropriation and Tax Acts, publis in our issue this morning. The latter, c ing as it does, immediately after a year w our people were almost exempt from State ation, will be severely felt, and, we hav( doubt, heavily complained of. In some o? features, it is not as explicit as could be wis especially where the question arises of a flict of this State tax and a municipal tax. We regret that we cannot speak so well a gards the policy pursued by the Legislatur regards to the railroads. That which has ' very quietly, but nevertheless most persist? sought after for several years past has accomplished. The State, in an ungua moment, has given not only the right of through the very centre of her territory railroad in the interest of North Carolin we have shown in previous remarks on subject), but, to hasten its completion, $ 000 of public funds are granted, which the result beyond doubt. It is useless to shut our eyeB to the fact Charleston is seriously damaged by this e: sion of the Charlotte Railroad to Haml and the extent of the mischief may as we canvassed. We have before mentioned that this < lotte road has been for months using < means in its power to draw businej Portsmouth, Va., over its entire line of even as far as Columbia, and working al freight from its local depots, Ridgeway, W boro, Chester, fcc, back over the same i It has thus-sought to build up Portsmoi the expense of Charleston... In the fat this glaring fact, the Legislature has subsc 1 a considerable amount to press on to co tion this proposed extension tb the w< limits of the State, the Savannah River. But this is not all; bad as the prosp< with this Charlotte road from Hamburg, th Edgefield, Lexington, Richland, Fairfield, ter, York and Lancaster, in the hands o: ties who wield this influence against th port of the State,-there is another Act < General Assembly which will be' as fatal city as the scheme just mentioned. Wilmington, too, has accomplished her object, and when the newly chartered t from. Sumter to Columbia is built, that ci have a short air line to the West, wa Au through the middle of South Carolina, here is the real situation: Portsmout Wilmington can take cotton from the V Augusta, and deliver it on the steamship sailing packets' wharves in both citic South Carolina not enly -giving them t thprity, but actually, pays, money down tc these plans into effect. Add all this it be it remembered, when Charleston is glin g manfully to hold up against her ti dous losses by the war, and by. the fire o and when the poverty-stricken city ic for two-fifths of all the expenses of thc But it will not be in vain, if our citizens will rouse themselves from their apathy and inau? gurate measures at once to checkmate these moves against their interests. This action on the pai*t of thc Legislature should be promptly counteracted. Our merchants should look to our railroad connections, and unite public opinion on some plan that will give to this city at least an equal chance for business with those cities in other States that have received the fostering aid of our own Legislature. To remain idle or unconcerned is to consent that Charleston shall be dwarfed and stunted for all future time. This must not, shall not be. THE UNITED STATES DISTILLERIES. . The New York Tribune's Washington corres? pondent, a few days ago, wrote that the House and' Senate Committees on Finance are much troubled about the extensive frauds that have been committed on the revenue, during the past year, by the various whiskey distilleries. The estimated amount of whiskey made last year was a little over 60,000,000 gallons. At $2 a gallon, the Government ought to have had $120,000,000 revenue, whereas the Bureau did not collect over $6,000,000. The correspondent says: One of the ablest members of the Commit? tees sees but one solution of this important matter. The English and French system, he maintains, will elfectually put a stop to the frauds. Let the Government take possession of all of the distilleries in the United States, and do all the manufacturing. The aggregate amount of property invested in the distillation of spirits in the United States is estimated at $20,000,000. The Government can seize and confiscate the property, and pay this amount in the first year, and save over $50,000,000 to thc Government. This is a very simple way of getting ove: the difficulty. Let Congress distil their owi whiskey, and charge any price they like. Whj not $5? a gallon, in plmce of $2.25@2.27 ' They will have the matter entirely in their owi hands; and if at $2 the whiskey business yield: $120,000,000, at $5 the revenue will be $300, 000,000, and pay a very handsome annual in stalment of the national debt. Of course ther will then be no frauds, no jobbing, no stealing no embezzlement, and not the least speculation How could there be ? Is it not all in the hand of Government ? What a splendid vista open here for Congressional patronage. The youn Radical business man, in a burst of patriotism may then exclaim, "Columbia, with all he faults, I love her still!" En passant, we may as well say here, ths "one of the ablest men of the Committee" i mistaken about France and England. Thos two monarchies have not yet gone into the dis tilliug business. They collect excise dutie: and, like Uncle Sam, they are largely cheatec It is well known that genuine poteen never paj the duty. The touch of the>guager is thougl to act as an evil spirit upon the "stuff." Smuj gling is a profession wherever guagers ac custom house officers are to be found. The ? variable association of the two appears to 1 analagous to thc old saw, that "wherever the) is a house of prayer, Satan soon has his chap there." It excites more attention here present only because the whole system of e: eise is new, and the Finance Committees, pu and unsophisticated themselves, are astound* at the depravity of mankind. That men shou buy and sell whiskey at 25 cents a gs lon,' when the Internal Revenue man says tl price is $2.25, is to them perfectly inexplic ble. But what crops out most prominently in ? these Congressional discussions, just now, the utter recklessness with which the most j gantic schemes of centralization are viewed a! proposed. Tobacco and salt are Governme monopolies in several of the European Stat< but we are not aware that any of them have s up in the whiskey "line." If Congress shot carry out such a plan, we may soon expect see the Maine Law declared unconstitution Gen. NEAL DOW himself, under Buch a stimuli may see the error of his ways, and take char of the office of Chief of the Distillery Bure for the State of Maine. Should not Congn stop, however, and ponder, before they corni themselves in this matter, lest Mr. BANCRC have an opportunity of recording another wi key rebellion in the United States ? With a Freedman's Bureau in the South, Educational Bureau all over the country (wh? it is reasonable to suppose will be establisl this session), a Whiskey Bureau, and a p petual Congress, the country will have no casion to complain of being neglected, of h ing no one to look after its affairs. Why have a Bureau of Fashions, that shall prescr the size and cut of the bonnet, substitute "Stevens" for the "Princess Lamb elle," i the "Republican" in place of the "Empre trail? Seriously speaking, the country is threate; with a dire despotism worse than Russia, cause a polycracy always has been worse tl a monocracy. It was so among the Jews old; so in Athens; in England, in the dayf the Long Parliament; and in France, dur the Reign of Terror. The. commencement, every instance, was very similar to wha now passing in the United States. True, are powerless to any means of preventing but we are'too deeply interested not to t note of what is passing- around us, and sec it, jot down the ideas suggested by the3e ps ing events. From correspondence communicated to' House of Representatives by the President Thursday, it appears that for twelve months ] SANTA ANNA has been making persistent effort i induce the United States Government "to aid in re-estabhahing the Mexican Republic," but Secretary SEWARD declined to have anything t> with him, even to see bim, because bis (Si AKITA'S) "attitude toward the Republican Gov ment of Mexico is pronounced by the Presides Mexico to be unfriendly. toward that Republic WENDELL PHILLIPS is out in last week's "J Sm-oery Standard" in favor of Fred Dougla United States Senator from New York, in plot Hon.
