It will be seen from our t?l?graphie dispatches that the Cosirressional Committee appointed to Investigate the charges against tho Anderson prisoners, Mesure. SETS, STOWZBS and BYE HM, have closed their labors. They are satisfied with the action taken hy the Court, and have completely exonerated the President, STANTON assuming the entire responsibility of discharging the alleged murderers. The total 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 ars. The Columbia Pluenix, of yesterday, says : "One thousand freedmen hare passed through thia 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 np 21,000,000 feet per month into doors, surfacing, flooring, siding, blinds and boxes. The following is the specie shipment for Europe tom New York on Saturday : St. Laurent takes out 1460,000; Deutschland lakes out $195,000, and the City of Boston taie3 ont none. Bishop POTTER has been made the recipient of an elegant residence by his friends. In the mean? time, the Bubject of a new diocese in Brooklyn and a second in Albany is actively discussed. The track of che railroad between Jackson, Miss., and Clinton, is in course of repair by chain gangs ' from the State Penitentiary, under the supervision ' of one of the lessees. They are returned to their gells 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 $225,00.1, and is paying a semi-annual dividend of five per cent. The Charlotte Railroad chargea $3 per bale on cotton from Charlotte to Columbia, 110 miles. The Greenville Railroad gets $2.50 from Greenville to Columbia, 15C miles. On the mail route between Santa Fe and El Paso they have a new method of disposing of the news? paper mail-when wood is Booree, the mail riders frequently ' idle a fire with it for cooking pur? poses. \ The present migration of blackbirds to the Flowery Landis unprecedented in this 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 in ' ' Paris the other day. Instead of a laudatory dis? course in honor of the individual interred, one of his friends read extracts from a newspaper article ta his praise. Wmua B. Aaron, JOHN JACOB ASTOR and W. W. ASTOB, and a great many more rich men, are in Washington. They are said to be frightened at the extremes into which the Radicale threaten to plunge the country. So are New England ship? pers and capitalists. The Shanghai Chamber of Commerce advocates the construction of a railroad to connect the im? portant cities of Soochowand Haogchow. This road is regarded as the first link in a railway sys? tem to be introduced throughout the Empire. The aggregate receipts of theatres and other places of amusement, not including concerts or beer-gardens, in New York, on Christmas, waa j twenty-four thousand dollars. According to actual count, sixteen thousand persons visited the Muse? um on that day. The Washington Republican says : "The mill between SAX COLLTXB, of Baltimore, and JOHN MOGLADE, of New York, takes place near Havre de Grace, Maryland, on the 16th inst. Betting on the result among the "fancy" is lively, the odds, at least in Washington, being in favor of OOLLVEB, J the Baltimorean. Tho Petersburg Index, of a recent dato, says: "Mr. MACLJNE?Y, formerly a member of the North Carolina Legisla turo, and Mr. JOSEPH BAXTER, both of Curri tn ok County, were arrested near tho Court House in that County, on Christmas day, by the .'Federal authorities, for being engaged in the cap? ?-uro and robbery of a vessel during the late war, when they were not employed in the Confederate army." A lunatic, from Khightstown, Ind., on Christ? mas, went into an Indianapolis establishment, pur? chased a small bil* of goods, and drew a check Ifoi $100,000, which he tendered-in payment, with n modest request that they would pay him the balance in cash. He signed his name to the <rheok, "C. 0. Thorpe, Cashier/' and when asked whit bank he was cashier of, he replied, "all of rem." The Fernandina (Fla.) Courier says : ,cWe learn, from persons living in the interior, that the tide of (migration to this State just now is unprecedented In her history. A gentleman informed ns, a few days since, thai he occupied twenty-seven wagons in one company, containing emigrants and their household gods, all bound for Marion County. The most of these families are from South Carolina." On Sunday evening an intense excitement was nreated at St Peter's Roman Catholic Church, Philadelphia. One of the candles upon tho altar was tipped over, and the flame coming in contact with some drapery, set it on fire. A panic ensued unong 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 sodden ts. Tho burning drapery was 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 ?hipped by hun, 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 flutes. We learn from a private lotter from a friend (*aystho Wilmington Lhspatch), that negroes in Kdgecombe County refuse, in many instances, to j work for $15 per month and rations, under a : manager, being desirous of farming on shares, where they can do zo-without a manager over them. ? And OD the other hand they prefer to work for , wages without a rtanager than upon shares under coe. The Nash farmers are offering $12 per month, without succe8U, and it is thought many of these 1 laborers will drift into Edgecombe. The developments arrived at respecting the salt mines of Nevada are almost startling in amount. ; A ?ingle bed tiaro is computed to cover fifty-two ? thousand tuxes. It is solid rock salt, ninety-five j per cent. fine. It now yields at the rate of two million bushels per ?unwin, Tho water rushes up from a distance of about thirty-five feet, and makes ' t> constant deposit of the finest rock salt. It is ' proposed to sink shafts at various points, in hopes i of striking some spot whero water will not be < touched, and where the salt can bo quarried, as in j Hungary and Poland. Three hundred inmates of the Central Lunatic Asylum, at Columbus, Ohio, had a merry Christ- 1 mas evening in the Amusement Hall of the insti- 1 tattoo. Never before, says the Journal, were so ' many of the patients allowed the freedom of the I hall, and the occasion was one long to be remem- I herod. For prudent reasons no spectators were . admitted, the afialr being one purely for the bene? fit and pleasure of patients. Gifts wero distributed, 1 games were played, and there was some dancing. Bcaroely an inri lent ooourred to mar the general 1 enjoyment. < The tribe of Marshpec claims to be an indepon- ! dent State among the nations, under the genoral protection of the Commonwealth of Maaaachu- j setts. Their territory of twenty-four square miles iii held under an indefeasible deed from the old Plymouth oolony, with the prov'so that no part of ( it shall over be sold to white mon. They have an appropriate country, wonderfully stocked with fish ' and game, the oldest church, and the most famous 1 trout stream in New England. They elect their i own officers and govern themselves. They are t now increasing, and the present number is up- , wards of four hundred souls. They have been a . vary peaceful tribe, there being no more crime among them than among the same number of their 1 white brethren around. Their property averages tiro-thirds as rauch as tho average of the white 1 PW in the State.

SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 5, 1807. COMMERCE OF THE FORT. Notwithst Hiding the dullness that pervaded our market during nearly the whole of the first month of the quarter ending December 31, 18CG (occasioned chiefly by tho sickness pre? vailing at that time), yet the imports and ex? ports of this quarter compared very favorably with those of the corresponding three months of the year 1865, 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 18G6 over tho same period of the year 1865, is nearly 20,000 bales, while a comparison of tho total value of exports for tho game time shows an excess in favor of the fourth quarter of I860 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 unimproved condition, what we may not anticipate when capital sufficient shall be cen? tred here to giv?alifi additional impetus to all branches "of d?mmerce and manufactures. The following figures show the business transactions .of the last three months: Receipts from customs.$89,823 46 Value of Imports.169,76a 00 Value of merchandise warehoused.:.. 38,971 00 Value of foreign exporta.2,834,613 00 Value of coastwise exports.5,598,243 00 No. of.

ANsommunication in another column, directs attention to thc recent enactment by the Gen? eral Assemby of South Carolina, of a Tax Law for 1806 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 Bill 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 "Act." How strange that the most important of all laws should al? ways be thus ushered into being. The Legis? lature spends^hours, days and weeks, liscussing unimportant questions, the Tax and Appro? priation Bills being left entirely to the Com? mittee of Ways aud 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 when the Legislature adjourns no member outside the committee knows what the Tax Law is ; and we 1 never can have a well digested Tax Bill until the time for thc 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 cx-pott-facto law and cannot be exe? cuted. Commission merchants, auctioneers and others are taxed from two to ten per cent, on 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, etc., 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 tho money. Thc two-and-a-half lo 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 all tho appro? priations made by the Legislature were neces? sary, is not to the present purpose. Wc might have grumbled at heavy taxation, no matter how equitably the burden had been ap? portioned, but wo would havo had no special grounds for our objections. As it is, the fact of a discrimination in favor of tho agricultural and to the prejudice of the commercial interest, is so palpable and eo oppressive that it natu? rally rouses all the opposition we are capable of. This discrimination, together with thc ex post-facio character of its provisions for 1866, in our opinion, offers sufficient ground for a general resistance to its execution. The Cham? ber of Commerce 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 sarly date. Perhaps that would be best. That our citizens ehould 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 thc Act before they came down. And this, too, with a member from Charleston in the Speaker's ?hair. It seems they had first to be in? formed of its unjust enactments, by our :itizens, who read the Act with great attention upon its first publication in Charleston. As no redress can bo expected, therefore, from our legislators, will not our leading merchants take :ho matter in hand, and rouse thc 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 jntire government of the State. To tell (hem .hat such a policy is short-sighted is of no ivail. We must see to it ourselves, that no mah unjust burden is laid upon our shoulders. In old times, "when all the world vent out :o bc taxed," it was understood that the .'rihute required was equitable, and duly apportioned Lo ihc means of the several individuals who were to pay it. There ia no reason why it should be otherwise now. If ever there was a Lime when a generous State might grant an ex? emption from taxation to any of her citizens, such discretion should have been exercised at thia 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 ilma mater (a step-mother in thia iustancc) loads us with this grievous burdeu. _WANTS._ APLANTER ON NORTH SANTEE HAVING 410 acres of prime ll icc Land, is desirous of ob? taining TKN THOUSAND DOLLARS to cultivate tho same.
