General FREMONT haa just permanently organ? ized 'his Southern Pacific Railroad. This route starts at Sk Louis, but generally follows along the thirty-fifth parallel to head of navigation-on the Colorado, and from thence to the Pacific coast. WILLIAM WALCOTT, of New York, agrees to com? plote Perry's Monument, at Cleveland, by placing the figures of a sailor and a midshipman on either side of the statue, as originally designed, for three thousand dollars. On account of the troubles in the indian conn, try, tho Thirteenth Regulars have been ordered to Omaha, and will bo followed by two other regi ments-ona "of them, probably the Twenty-fifth, from the' Department of the Potomac. Lo] the poor Indi an. ' ; Tram the Savannah Advertiser we learn that Right Rev. Bishop WILKES,' of Alabama, will visit that city on the hut Sabbath of thia month, to pres.aa a seimon.. commemorative of the life and Bcrricea of the bite Bishop ELLIOTT. . It is proba? ble that he will also administer the rite of confirm? ation, bat of this we are not yet informed. Ger. TOM JFBUMB and family are inManchester, Engknd. A local journal ' declare* that "Mrs. STRA: rroK ia a perfect little lady, to ali appearance, and those who know her beat say she is so in reali? ty. She possesses a clever woman's mastery of the art of dress, and- her jewels are very rich." WKTOSKX ROLLMAN, Esq., the celebrated and world-renowned bridge.builder and civil engineer, of Baltimore, has already oouunenced the con * struct ion jot a .large ?on bridge at. Wilmington, N. C. It will be one of the longest bridges in the . South,; and bo used for tho accommodation of three railroad companies. Tho wealthiest estate in Cmcinnatiis that of the late [NICHOLAS LONGWORTH, which is valued for taxation purposes at $12,000,000. Next to this is the property bf. JAMES W. GAFF, valued at $8,000, 000; "DAVH> GIBSON, $3,000,000; L. ANDERSON, 12,000,000 ; Jos. LONGWORTH, $2,000,000, and some eighty others whose estates are valued at over ?,000,000. Tho gunners about Havre de Grace and the head of tho Chesapeake Bay ,'are, we understand, doing but little. Shooting this season has, np to this time, not been very profitable.

American says some of the principal corporations in that city have given notice of a reduction of pay of their employees of ' 10 por cent., and that others will noon do tho same. . The reason given is tho depression of the market price? for goods,.and of the manufacturing inter? ests in general.? ~A large number of factory people The Pacific Mall Steamship Company h&vo ap? pointed Captain SAMUELS, formerly of the Fulton, and now ot the victorious yacht Henrietta, to a co mr ian d in their line, and have assigned him one of th ?r new steamships,- now in process of con? struction for the China, trade.

Tl ie Newburyport (Mass. ) Herald, ic referring io tl ie efforts being made at Salem, in that State, to resuscitate the fishing interest, says they are of no use. The Herald thinks that the fisheries, as n permanent business, will pass from Massa chutetta, and that hereafter her commerce win not keep pace with the increase in population. It regtxds manufactures as her great business for the f?tera.^ . * C '? Tie Jovarnat of Commerce states that the in? voiced value of dry goods imported at New York during the year 1866, -amounts- to $126,222,855, and Sayn : "Unleaa wo are muchmistaken, the last (1866) will stand as the banner year for some tim^-perh&pa for the whole of this decade. At - any rate, then are no preeent indications that the sane total will be- reached during the twelve anon th? upon which we have just en tertSL ** ^p.

It is true that reporters sometimes make nonsense of speeches, but it oftener happens that they make speeches of nonsense. A newsboy of Toronto, named HENRI MAST?N, bas fallen heir to $200,000 in Texas. His father wan a farmer and a resident of Rochester. He watt killed in the first battle of Bull Run. His mo-A?x was unable to ?upport tho family, and sent HXRBX to a charitable institution, from which he escaped. The boy's uncle settled in Texas some years ago, and a^umulated a large proper? ty. Ho waa. killed in the battle ot Shiloh,-fighting for the Confederacy. A relative had been search? ing three months for the boy. I I The celebrated preacher, PESE HYACINTHE, is at j present giving a conreo of. lectures at Notre Dame, in Paris. He is described as a fine looking man, of about forty years of ?ge, handsome features, an ace uilino nose, somewhat full and sensual lips, and a well squared chin. He presents an imposing ap? pearance, in the pulpit; attired in the costume of bis order-a. dress of coarse brown woollen and hood and capote of white, naked feet and sandals, a. closely shaven head, with tho exception of the short fringe of dark hair which just stops Bhort at tho temples. It is estimated that the number of holes which have to bo drilled by the rock-boring machine? in the Mont Cenis tunnel, bolero that work is com? puted, is about 1,600,000. The total depth of all th seo holes when bored will amount to 4,265,890 feet, which is 105. times the length of the tunnel. Nearly 13,000,000,000 blows will be Btruck by tho perforators to do this work. The entrance to the tu mel on the French side is 3946 feet above the lev el, of the sea, and its termination on the Italian aide 4830 feet, so that the actual difference of level besween the two extremities is about 464 feet. A Washington dispatch says : "General GEANT had a long interview with Se?ntary STANTON upon th? effect of the recent decision of the Snpreme Court upon military commissions.

THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 10,1867. THE CORN BILL. We baye an interesting communication on this subject from a-Triend in the country, but it is too long"for our columns. The.writer is very severe on the Legislature. He says, among other things: "Far better would it have been to suspend the whole machinery of gov? ernment, as long as we ire only a State in name, than to have defeated thc Corn Bill. For a term during the war we had no couria nor legislatures, and we heard but little com? plaint of that state of things."- He then speaks of the sad condition of the Poor Houses, the Commissioners having to call on private chari? ty to eke out a scanty subsistence for the un? fortunate inmates. It is a fact that one of the principal causes that impelled" Governor OBS last fall to call a special session of the Legislature, was the scarcity of food in many of the central and upper districts of the. State. He dwells on this topic wi th great earnestness in his mes? sage. The Corn Bill was considered and passed, and the Commissioner appointed. The conditions annexed being, however, impracti? cable, the office was declined, and the matter remained in abeyance till tho regular session of the Legislature, when several schemes for relief were submitted," but all finally defeated. We hear great complaint in oonsequence from various sections of the State ; and no wonder, when we consider that the distress was great j enough to induce the Governor to convene the Legislature to devise a measure of relief ; and when we are further informed, as was ascer? tained during the session" in Columbia, that there is a great want of corn in a majority of the districts, we cannot be surprised at the interrogatories of our correspondent^ "Where were tho members from the suffering districts when the decisive vote'was taken? Some, perhaps, were too tenacious of their populari? ty to-vote for the Bill, and I fael confident that if there were any such, their constituents, ere this time, have justly condemned such a course, j and. will not bo likely to return them. Or have you ever thought that starvation may ?ooh be knocking at the door of some gallant soldier, who has lost ah- eye or a limb in * the horrible war from which we have just emerged? Had you [t. e., the members of the General As? sembly of South Carolina] - thought BO, you would prefer the State and her diminished credit to sink rather than be goaded by such harrowing reflections." We say this much in justice to our corres? pondent and. the large class he represents. The meinbers of the Legislature doubtless had their reasons for voting as they did; We have not conferred with arty of them, but presume that the explanation of their course of action mast be sought in the embarrassed condition of the finance^ tf the State. PROTECTIONT. FREE TRADE. The following statement will show the terrible effect the late war had on American shipping, that ship-building in the United States has been, according- ' to the report of the Secretary of tho Treasury, almost destroyed, and, according to Northern journals, native commerce is on*the road to extinguishment. For the last six years the commerce of the United Stales has fallen behind that of Great Britain fully fifty per cent, and con? tinues to recede year by year. The following statement of the Secretary gives confirmation to thia assertion and begins to awaken undisguised alarm: " . The tonnage of American vessels engaged in the foreign 1 carrying trade which entered United States ports was lona. In 1800.^.5,921,205 In 1885.2.948,661 In 1866.3,372.090 The tonnage of such v?asela which were cleared from* the United States was Tons.

Inl%0.2,863,911 in 1865.8,216,967 In 186G.4,410,424 The tonnage of foreign vessels which were cleared was * Tons. Itt 1860..!.%.2,624,005 In I860.3.695,123 In 1866.4,438,384 At th.B rate, cays one of the journals, "we shall, ere long, cease to be a commercial power of any I importance." The foregoing has been published in several of the journals of the country, both North and South: The ruin to ship building and the decay in commerce is erroneously attributed to the late war, and not as it should be to a high tariff, excessive and oppressive, unequal, UDjvst? and odious. Now that eighteen months have elapsed since the close of the war, and there has been ample timo for recuperation, -why Bhould "ship building in thc United States be nearly destroyed, or native commerce'be on -the road to extinguishment, so that ere long we shall cease to bea. commercial power"? The following, in strong contrast, from a lute number of the English Mercantile Times, explains the Beeret,, and Bhould open the eyes of the people,-the working men and mechanics es? pecially (of the North, of course), to the ruin? ous policy of protection. It exhibits the true and unmistakable causes of British commercial and naval progress, and.in the opposite policy of the United States, thc causes of the decay in ber commerce and shipping. BTBD'S-BEE VIEW or THE SUCCESS OF FREE TRADE. Two official papers that have come into our bands show at a glance some of the most remarkable points in the increase of our commerce and that of Franco since the inauguration of a free trade policy in England in 1812, and the first cautious atop to? wards such a policy by the treaty with our neigh? bors in I860. A brief resume of a few of these results can hardly ail to be interesting to our read? ers. ' .Tho official value of our total imports (official values axe, it is well known, mere measures of Quantities, and useful only for comparison) was in 1842, ?65,000,000; in 1353, ?123,000,000 ; in 1865, ?181,000,000. The official value of cur exports was-in 1842, ?113,000,000 ; in 1853, ?242,000,000; in 1865, ?363, 000,000-a threefold increase in lesa than a quarter of a century. The real value of our commerce annually bas only been ascertained since' 1854. Since that period the increase bas been as follows :-Imports m 1854, ?152,000,000 ; in 1863, ?249,000,000 ; in 1865, ?271,000 000. Exports in 1854, ?115,000,000; in 1863, ?196,000,000 ; in 1865, ?218,0i)0,l00. The real or "declared" value of British and Lrish manufactures exported has risen thus : In 1842, ?47,000,000 ; in 1853, ?99,000,000 ; in 1365, ?165,000, 000-^or fourfold in a quarter of a century. Within the same period our "tonnage inward and outward" with cargoes (the measure of our aggregate trado) hos risen from 7,346,000 in 1842 to 25,000,000 in 1865, and our "registered tonnage" (our shipping) from 2,999,000 tons to 5,700,000. Tho consumption of some of our chief articles of demand bas increased ovon faster. Thus : 1842. 185a. 1865.
