Reverend J. C. ?-'TTLES hag been called to the j Presidency of Oglethorpe University, Ga. There was a Bale of negroes at Annapolis, a fe? days since. See particulars in our telegraphic column. The amount of property owned by negroes in Kentucky, and subject to taxation, is $96G,95G, upon which the tax is S36G1. A large quantity of gold is arriving at Frcdor icksburg, Ya., gathered from the gold mines in tho surrounding counties. Tho Paris Universal Exhibition is to be oponod on Monday, April 1, 18G7, and the Imperial Com? mission will have a review of the Exhibition com? plete on Thursday, March 28. Quilp thinks it rather remarkable that while' several thousand feet are required to make one rood, a single foot, properly applied, is often suffi? cient to m ako one civil. Snails, one of the principal Parisian delicacies, are said to have almost supplanted frogs in that market. Thoy are sem in great numbers from the surrounding country to Paris, Burgundy and Champagne alone supplying 100,000 snails daily. Captain MAYNE REID, the novelist, made his ap? pearance in i he London Court of Bankruptcy on the 28th. He was described as of the Ranche, Gerard's Cross, Buckingham. Tho unsecured debts are ?2550, and those secured ?4800. The Nashville Union of the 17th sayB that the health of Hon. JOHN BELL is quite feeble. During last week he was considered in a critical condition by his medical attendants, but at latest accounts, waB slowly recovering from his attack. Gossip says that the Queen of Spain lately de? termined to raise a tenor singer to nobility, but the Minister threatening to resign if such an out? rage be perpetrated. Her Majesty waB compelled to abandon her design. The clipper ships Omar Pasha and True Britain have had an ocean race of 15,000 miles, from Mel? bourne to London. Both left Melbourne on the same day, and arrived in London after a passage of 75 days, the Omar Pasha being one hour ahead. A French court has decided that when a railroad fails to transport passengers to a given point in a given time, by the breaking down of an engine or any other accident, the company is bound to pay the expenses of passengers who may adopt other .^cans to reach their destination. Artificial ivory is now made in France from a1 ? paste of papier mache and gelatine, and to which the name of Parisian marble is given. Among other things, tbe finest and most complicated mouldings for ceilings can be made, or capitals of of columna can be constructed in any color. It is said to be hard, durable and elastic. Information is daily being received, principally through private sources, of the accumulation in the British Provinces on our northern border, of great quantities of dutiable goods, which have been im ' ported at places in close proximity to the boun? dary line for the purpose of running them across the border and evading the payment of duties. Careful estimates make the present number of sheep in the United States 30,000,000, and the wool product 95,000 pounds-an increase of 7,528,725 sheep in five years last past, against an increase of 748,055 the previous ten years, and of 2?,735,087 pounds of wool the last five years, against 7,747,950 pounds the previous ten years. A dispatch from Mobile, December 21, states that no attempt has been made to take advantage of Judge BUSTEED'S recent decision, that debts settled in Confederate money, during the war, were not valid or of binding force; nor is it likely that any new suits, under the ruling of the deci? sion, will be entered up;n. The estimates for the cotton crop are rather decreasing here, many of the factors placing themselves below fifteen hun? dred thousand bales. The bronze statue of Chief Justice MARSHALL for the Richmond "Washington Monument is on its w;y to New York, and on its arrival will be re? shipped to Richmond, and is expected to arrive about Christmas. The statues of NELSON and LEWIS, and the allegorical figures and trophies de? signed as ornaments for the lower portion of the monument, will likewise' soon be shipped to this . country from Munich. The monument should be completed before the spring. Part of the Merrimac has been raised at Hamp? ton Roads, and several cf her great guns have been recovered. There is a prospect of raising the old line-of-bat?e ship Pennsylvania, and also ihe frigate Brandywine, burned at Gosport Navy Yard at the breaking out of the war. The wreckers en? gaged on the Pennsylvania have fished up an an? chor of peculiar construction, weighing fpur or five tons, which is supposed to have been lost during the Revolutionary war. We learn from the Journal of Ute Franklin In? stitute, for November, that surveys are in progress with a view of diverting from the River Severn the sewerage of all the towns lying on ?hat stream above Tewksburg, and making arrangements for obtaining water from that place and conveying it. io resorvoirs, from which it might flow into Lon? don under high pressure.- The estimated costs of these works, made by Mr. HAMILTON FULTON, is $15,000,000. Immediately after the holidays, the bill to re? imburse the loyal States for war expenses will be reported for action by representative BLAINE, of Maine. The proposition is to give a certain amount of five per cent. United States bonds to each State, equal in amount to fifty-five dollars for each volunteer furnished by said State. The proposition of Comptroller HILLHOUSE, of New York, to give the income tax to each : State, does not meet with favor, because of the great inequali . ty of the amounts collected under that head in tho several States. The St. Paul Press estimates the present popula ; tion of Minnesota. at 360,000. Reviewing the census reports of former years, the Press says : ?From thia it appears that in the last year and a half we have added about 110,000, or about 44 per - cent., to our population, while in the previous five years of war our whole increase was 78,077. In? deed the immigration into this State has been greater in the last two years than at any period of om* history since the two years ending with the , fall of 1857, when over 100,000 souls were added to .'. our population. At this rate of progress we shall . have, in 1870, four years from now, a population of over 700,00o." OJ?T ?a*?

TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 25, 18SG. CHRISTMAS. Another year has passed around; ago in the festive season is upon us, when business, poli? tics, and all tho more serious affairs of life are for a time in abeyance, and give way to higher aims and holier thoughts and purposes. Christ? mas, the annual season of rejoicing, has again visited us, we behold the present and insensi? bly institute comparisons with the past. But this is no season for rejoicing. Things arc not what they might have been, or even as they were, but let us thank God that they are as well as they are. We are, very many of us, in strait? ened circumstances, bereft of those we loved ; some of us have had to leave the old homestead, thc place where we were born, %vhere our children saw the light; the old hearth where reposed the sacred memories of thc past, and around which were clustered the hopes of the thc future. Chill penury our present posses? sion, and a dreary, joyless future in prospect. We have seen many of our friends, formerly living in affluence, reduced within the past two years to destitution and beggary. But let us not despair. Rather let us thank God and take courage; thank Him for all the merc:' s he has vouchsafed to us, and take the present as a happy augury for the future. We have much to be grateful for. The. past season was looked forward to with fear and trembling, and a sickly summer predicted by some of our best and most experienced physi? cians. Cholera and yellow fever both were confidently expected. Yet we have been spared. There was sickness indeed, but of a very mild character. There were also the most gloomy anticipations in reference to the scantiness of the growing crop. The harvest was not plenti? ful, but much better than had been counted upon. In the present uncertain and highly unsatis? factory state of public affairs it was expected that business would suffer a corresponding de? pression, and that our city and State would not soon recover from the torpor this magic spell had cast upon them. In this also we have been agreeably disappointed. Our people have at last learned to wait patiently for political re? construction; have surveyed the wrecks and ruins of their fortunes, and gone to work in earnest like sober, practical, business men to make the most of what was 'left, and retrieve their losses as best they could. It has been our good fortune, in consequence, to record pro? gress and improvements from time to. time. Our city is slowly doffing her habiliments of mourn? ing. Sackcloth and ashes are giving way be? fore handsome new iron front storehouses and substantial cobble stone pavements. Our public buildings have been refitted; our institutions of learning are once more in opera? tion; our charity foundations again subserve their noble purpose; the churches are filled with worshippers; our merchants, bankers and artizans all have their hands full,-have not even time to stop to think that we are not yet in the Union. Society has not yet recovered its former tone, gay and festive gatherings are still the exception, but there are signs of recov? ery. The ball is moving, and ere long, we dare say, will bring things to their old standard. These are a few of the thousands of blessings we are enjoying, and wherefor we should be thankful. And in no way can we testify our gratitude to God so well for his mercies to? ward us as by extending these same mercies to our fellow-men, by feeding the hungry, cloth? ing the naked, giving shelter to the houseless, ministering to the sick, and relieving the dis? tressed of every character. We need not tell our readers that there are many in our, midst who are sorely in need of such assistance. There are many organizations in the city, as well as private persons, who would be glad to become the almoners of any one not himself able to dispense his charity. The Alms House, a noble municipal charity, would be a suitable place to distribute ? clothing. ? We have no au? thority for making this statement, but are satis? fied that donations would be gratefully receiv? ed. Let no one say that he or she is .unable to give; we all can do something; the widow gave her two mites and has her reward. The Sav? iour does not forget even the cup of cold water tendered to one of the disciples. After being thus engaged in going about and doing good, we shall be prepared to enjoy the amenities of the 3eason,--a merry Christmas, which THE NEWS cordially wishes to all its friends'and readers. INTEBESTTN? LEGAL QUESTION.-Judge MERE? DITH has just decided a case of much interest lo many fiduciaries in Virginia, and for their benefit we'publish the following correct abstract of tho facts and the decision on them. The case was thia: - ' An administrator qualified, ?ri December, 1864. The personal property, consisting of household and kitchen furniture, was sold in order to pay funeral expenses, doctors' bills, &c. The sale took place in December, 186*4, and the property brought a most, extravagant price in Confederate money, to wit: $16,693.36. The administrator paid off all the debts (none being since presented), and there waa left in his hands the sum of $12,284.29 on the 1st of April, 1865. He filed a bill in Judge MEBEDXTH'S Court, asking how this balance should be liqui? dated. With the facts above stated before bim, and the additional fact that in orpinary times, say in 1859 or 1860, the proceeds of the sale of the fur? niture would have been barely more than sufficient to pay the debts which the administrator paid, the Judge decided, and very properly too, we think, that as the administrator had the right to retain it in his hands for a longer period/, and as it could not haye been invested or distributed or further used in the payment of debts, and as the Confed? eracy fell within four months after l?z qualifica? tion, and before it was practicable to obtain an or? der for the investment of said balance, the admin? istrator should not be required to discharge the ?said balance in any other than Confederate cur? rency, and that the estate should he charged with the same as a loss. - WANTS.
