It will be seen from our telegraphic dispatchoa that the Congressional Committee appointed to investigate the chargea against the Anderson prisoners, Messrs. KEYS, STOWEBS and BYREM, have closed their labors. They sro satisfied with tho action taken by the Court, and have completely exonerated the President, STANTON assuming tho entire responsibility of discharging the alleged murderers. The tots! debt of North Carolina, up to the 1st of October, including interest, amounts to thirteen million dollars. A fire broke out Christmas Eve at Warrensburg, Maine, which destroyed property to the amount of two hundred thousand dol ara. The Columbia Phoenix, of yesterday, aayB : "One thousand freedmen have passed through this city during the past week, on their way to Florida or the West." There are forty firms in the lumber trade in Chicago, Illinois, employing 2000 hands, making up 31,000,000 feet per month into doors, surfacing, flooring, siding, blinds and boxes. Tho following is the specie shipmen? tnr Ttnrop? Crom New XOTK on saturday : Ul. Laurent takes out $460,000; Deutschland takes out $195,000, and the Otu of Boston takes out none. Bishop POTTEB has been made the recipient of an elegant residence by his friends. In the mean? time, the subject of a new diocese in Brooklyn and a eeoond in Albany is actively discussed. The track of the railroad between Jackson, Miss., and Clinton, is in course of repair by chain gangs from the State Penitentiary, under the aupervision of one of the lessees. They are returned to their ?ells at night. The Central Railroad of Georgia gets $3.50 per bale on cotton from Macon to Savannah, and has lately had a monthly income of $225,00?, andu paying a semi-annual dividend of five per cent. The Charlotte Railroad charges 33 per bale or cotton from Charlotte to Columbia, 110 miles. The Greenville Railroad gets $150 from Greenville to Columbia, 156 miles. On the mail route between Santa Fe and El Pasc they have a new method of disposing of the news? paper mail-when wood is scarce, the mail riders frequently kindle a fire with it for cooking pur? poses. The present migration of blackbirds to thc Flowery Land is unprecedented in thiB country, History has had nothing like it since the great migration of the Northern tribes in the middle ages. A singular innovation was made at a funeral ii Paris the other day. Instead of a laudatory dis course in honor of the individual interred, one o his friends read extracts from a newspaper articli In his praise. WILLIAM B. ASTOB, JOHN JACOB ASTOB and W W. ASTOB, and a great many more rich men, are ii Washington. They are said to be frightened a' the extremes into which the Radicals threaten U plunge the country. So are New England ship pera and capitaliste. The Shanghai Chamber of Commerce advocate! the construction of a railroad to connect the im? portant cities of Soochow and Hangchow. Thii road is regarded as the first link in a railway sys tem to be introduced throughout the Empire. The aggregate receipts of theatres and othe: places of amusement, not including concerts o: beer-gardens, in New York, on Christmas, wai twenty-four thousand dollars. According to ac tua count, sixteen thousand persona visited the Muse nm on that day. The Washington Republican says : "The mil between SAM COLLYEB, of Baltimore, and JOBI Wf<fii;Slkz5&&?, on the ?5te~??"?!.~" Bear Havre di result among the "fancy" is lively, the odds, a least in Washington, being in favor of COLLYEB the Baltimorean. The Petersburg Index, of a recent date, says "Mr. MACLINBEI, formerly a member of the Nortt Carolina Legislature, and Mr. JOSEPH BAIT EB, bo tl of Currituck County, were arrested near the Cour House in that County, on Christmas day, by th< Federal authorities, for being engaged in the cap ture and robbery of a vessel during the late war when they were not employed in the Confederate army." A lunatic, from Enightstown, Ind., on Christ mat, went into an Indianapolis establishment, pur? chased a small bill of goods, and drew a ched foi $100,000, which he tendered in payment, witt a modest request that they would pay hiT the balance in cash. He signed his name to the check, "C. C. Thorpe, Cashier,'* and when asked what bank he was cashier of, he replied, "all ol 'ena." The Fernandina (Fla.) Courier says : "We leam, from persona living in the interior, that the tide of emigration to this State just now is unprecedented in her history. A gentleman informed us, a few days since, that he occupied twenty-seven wagons in one company, containing emigrants and their household gods, all bound for Marion County. The moat of these families are from South Carcuma." On Sunday evening an intense excitement was .rested at St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church, Philadelphia. One of the candles upon th 3 altar wan tipped over, and the flame coning in contact with some drapery, set it on fire. A panic ensued among the congregation, but the coolness of some of the members allayed the fear of those who were making from the building, and thus prevented any accidents. The burning drapery vms speedily ex? tinguished. The proprietor of a mammoth distillery at Pitts? burg has just made a return for the closing year, from which it appears that the amount of whiskey shipped by him, in bond, amounts to 26i,079 gal? lons. The United States revenue tax on this, at $2 per gallon, amounts to $524,158, and city tax amounts to $160.765, making a total, in the way of taxes, of $684,923. It is probable that these figures can be exceeded by very few persons in the United States. We learn from a private letter from a friend (says the Wilmington Dispatch), that negroes in Edgecombe County refuse, in many instances, to work for $15 per month and rations, under a manager, being desirous of farming on shares, where they can do so without a manager over them. And on the other hand they prefer to work for wages without a manager than upon shares under one. The Nash farmers are offering $12 per month, without success, and it is thought many of these laborers will drift into Edgecombe. The developments arrived at respecting the salt mines of Nevada are almost startling in amount. A single bed there is computed to cover fifty-two thousand acres. It is solid rock salt, ninety-five percent, fine. It now yields at the rate of two million bushels per annum. The water rushes up from a distance of about thirty-five feet, and makes a constant deposit of the finest rock salt It is proposed to sink shafts at various points, in hopes of striking some apot where water will not be touched, and where the salt can be quarried, as in Hungary and Poland. Three hundred inmates of the Central Lunatic Asylum, at Columbus, Ohio, had a merry Christ? mas evening in the Amusement Hall of the insti? tution. Never before, says the Journal, were so many of the patients allowed the freedom of the nsO, and the occasion was one long to be remem? bered. For prudent reasons no spectators woro admitted, the affair being one purely for the bene? fit and pleasure of patients. Gifts were distributed, gaines were played, and there wa? some dancing. Scarcely an incident occurred to mar the general enjoyment. The tribe of Harshpeo claims to be an indepen? dent State among the nations, under the general protection of the Commonwealth of Massachu? setts. Their territory of twenty-four square miles is held under aa indefeasible deed from the old Plymouth colony, with the proviso that no part of it shall ever be sold to white men. They have an appropriate country, wonderfully stocked with fish and game, the oldest church, and the most famous trout stream in New England. They elect then own officers and govern themselves. They are now increasing, and the present number is up? wards of four hundred ocrais. They havo besn a TWY peaceful tribe, there being no more crime among them than among the same number of their white brethren around. Their property averages two-thirds as much as the average- of the white jae* ia the Stats, LARGEST CIRCULATION.-Thc DAILY NEWS publishes thc Official List of Let? ters remaining in the Pbstpffice at the end of each u-eelc, agreeably to Hie following section of the Neto Postoffice JJIMC, as thc newspaper having the. largest circulation in thc Oity of Charleston ; SECTION 5.

SATURDA? MORNING, JANUARY 5, 1867. COMMERCE OF THE PORT. Notwithstanding the dullness that pervaded our market during nearly the whole of the first month of the quarter ending December 31, I860 (occasioned chiefly by tho sickness pre? vailing at that time), yet tho imports and ex? ports of this quarter compared very favorably with those of the corresponding three months of tie year 1866, and exhibit such a marked improvement as to indicate the revival of our former commercial prosperity. On a careful examination of the figures of the last three months, as shown in our tabular statements of this morning, we find that in the foreign and coastwise exports of cotton, tho increase of tho fourth quarter of 1866 over the same period of the year 1865, ia nearly 20,000 bales, while a comparison of the total value of exports for tho same time shows an excess in favor of the fourth quarter of 1866 of over $2,600,000. This is certainly a source of congratulation, as it indicates that, if under the most adverse circumstances, the trade of our port exhibits such an improved condition, what we may not anticipate when capital sufficient shall be cen? tred here to give an additional impetus to all branches of commerce and manufactures. The following figures show tho business transactions of the last three months : Receipts from customs.$88,833 46 Valus of imports.169,763 CO Value of merchandise warehoused. 38,371 00 Value of foreign exports.3,331,513 00 Value of coastwiso exports.5,598,313 00 No. of. Tom. Vassals engaged in foreign trade.68 15,966 Vessels engaged In coastwise trade.319 158,398 THE NEW STATE TAX. A communication in another column, directs attention to the recent enactment by the Gen? eral Assemby of South Carolina, of a Tax Law for 1866 and 1867. The merchants and business men of every grade will doubtless move at once in this matter, both in their individual and corporate capacities. We do not know by whom this Tax Rill was drawn, but it is clear that it was hastily prepared, and is as far from an equitable apportionment of the burden as a Tax Bill well can be. We know nothing of its history, but from the internal evidence, should say that it was tinkered up in the committee room to the last possible moment, and then rapidly smuggled through the several readings into the dignity of an "Ait." How strange that the most important of all laws should al? ways be thus ushered into being. The Legis? lature spendsTiours, days and weeks, discussing unimportant questions, tho Tax and Appro? priation Bills being loft entirely to the Com? mittee of Ways and Means. The House, to all intents and purposes, never passes on them at all. The Clerk reads them in a formal, mo? notonous manner, no one listening ; and whee committee knows what the Tax Law is ; and we never can have a well digested Tax Bill until the time for the meeting of our General As? sembly is changed. What are Tax and Appro? priation Bills when set in the balance against visions of Christmas turkey and smoking plum pudding ? The Act just passed is open to objections on various grounds. In the first place, insofar as it relates to a tax for the year 1866, it is clearly an ?x-post-faclo law and canuot be exe? cuted. Commission merchants, auctioneers and others are taxed from two to ten per cent? ?n their sales for 1866, the proceeds of which, in many'cases, have long since been returned and the accounts closed. There are houses here, for instance, selling whiskey for parties in Cincinnati, Baltimore, otc, on which they charged, say from two-and-half to five per cent, commission. They have made return sales for the past year and paid in the money. The two-and-a-half to five per cent, commission is now all they havo to show for the transaction. And yet the State now asks these commission merchants to pay $10 on every $100, or from one to three hundred per cent, more than the total amount of their commissions. This is robbery, not taxation .' The tax on real estate is thirty cents on every dollar, and this is the only low tax in the whole schedule. The system is iniquitous, and especially detrimental to all the inter? ests of our city. Whether or not oil the appro? priations made by the Legislature were neces? sary, is not to the present purpose. We might have* grumbled at heavy taxation, no matter how equitably the burden had been ap? portioned, but we would have had no special grounds for our objections. As it is, the fact of a discrimination in favor of the agricultural and to the prejudice of the commercial interest, is so palpable and so oppressive that it natu? rally rouses all the opposition we are capable of. This discrimination, together with the ex pott-facto character of its provisions for 1866, in our opinion, offers sufficient ground for a general resistance to its execution. The Cham? ber of Commeroe and the Board of Trade should lead the way in the matter ; other'cor porations will follow. Our correspondent sug? gests a general mass meeting of citizens at an early date. Perhaps that would be best. That our citizens should be sensitive to an additional onerous tax now, when they already pay a heavy tax to the United States, and another to the city, is hardly to be wondered at. We regret that our delegation in the Legis? lature did not find time to examine the Act before they came down. And this, too, with a member from Charleston in the Speaker's chair. It seems they bad first to be in? formed of its unjust enactments, by our citizens, who read the Act with great attention upon its first publication in Charleston. As no redress can be expeoted, therefore, from our legislators, will not our leading merchants take the matter ia hand, and rouse the public mind to a full understanding of the case. It may suit the narrow prejudices of certain up-country representatives to make Charleston pay for the entire government of the State. To tell them that such a policy is short-sighted is of no avail. We muBt see to it ourselves, that no such unjust burden is laid upon our shoulders. In old times, "when all the world went ont to be taxed," it was understood that the tribute required was equitable, and duly apportioned to the means of the several individu?is who were to pay it. There i8 ?0 reason why it should be otherwise now. If ever there was a time when a generous State might grant an ex? emption from taxation to any of her citizens, euch discretion should have been exercised at this time in favor of our poor, charred, weather? beaten, bombarded, and ruined city. We are struggling to recover our lost ground, and by way of helping us to accelerate our speed, our alma mater (a stop-mother in this instance) loads ns with this grievous burden. _WANTS._ APIiAN'TEK OK NORTH SAXXEE R WING 440 acres of primo Kier Land, is desires or ob? taining TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS to cultivate thc samo.
