Owing to the depression in business the princi? pal mill owners of Lawrence, Mass., havo notified their employees of a reduction of ton per cent, on their wages. The Dickson House, a popular house of enter? tainment in Jackson, Miss., was destroyed hy fire on the night of tho 4 th inst. Tho loss is estimated at $35,000, upon which tho insurance had expired but a few weeks previously. As an evidenco of tho onormona receipts of the mammoth papers of New York, it is stated that the cash receipts of tho New York Tribune for the last week wero $62,869.98, which is 30 per cent. ^-----.x.?n ui u.uy previous week. potatoes am ouulo luto nUuuh in.

A project for a grain elevator, of large capacity, is under consideration by the business men of New Orleans. It is claimed that grain grown in tho West can be shipped from New Orleans to Enropo at much less cost than from New York. Two cities, which desire to be considered as rivale of Chicago, have each made another at? tempt to get up a metropolitan sensation. Mil? waukee has another case of infanticide, and Cin? cinnati has opened & dram shop which cost $300,000. In 1860 there were 54,000 church edifices in the United States, with sittings for 18,974,579 per? sons, leaving . a population of 12,467,745 withont provision in any church or soot-fearful statistics, after allowing a liberal per cent, for persons too young or too old, too sick or too infirm, to attend church. The National Bank of Mobile recently declaiod a semi-annual dividend of eight per cent, on the capital Btock. This is the second dividend within the year, tho former being of ton per cent.; making eighteen per cent for the year. This is doing very well for an institution the first year of its existence. MiTTVTT.Tin is said to have a regular Mexican force of thirty-five thousand, with an auxiliary force of twenty-five thousand men, exclusive of the French, who are paid regularly every morning. If that ia the case, MAX. has a very respectable basis to sustain himself. The railroad over Mount Cenia, Italy, to he done next spring, masters grados as steep as one foot in twelve, and tho locomotive is to hold on and go ahead by means of a third or central rail, which it pinches with a pair of large, horizontal wheels or pulleys. A gardener In the Parish of St James, Louisiana, whilst hoeing up a patch of ground, discovered a small iron box, containing a cross of the legion of honor, a parchment patent of nobility, and a manuscript of moral sayings. At least so says tho St. Martin Democrat. The Gentile merchants of Salt Lake City offer to leave the Territory if the Mormon Elders will pay the outstanding accounts due the merchants from members of the Mormon Church, and buy their stocks of goods, and other property-the Gentiles deducting twenty-five per cen;., from the cash valuation. Tho citizens of Galla tin and Stunner county, Tennessee, havo organized a Southern Belief As? sociation, for the purpose of procuring and for wMcrw^a^Brp^&a &ntSS1UmS. ft!aXre1^,"c??ni, siderable quantities of corn, provisions and other necessaries have been procured. A Sandwich Island Judge was applied to by a man who wanted a divorce from a quarrelsome wife. The woman was in court, and expressed the wish that the husband's plea might be granted. The Judge refused, however, and advised the man to ?3 heme and rule the wife, and see if they could not then bo happier. SAMXTKI. COX, of Saratoga, Minnesota, slacked soma limo in a kerosene barrel, the other day. While starring it, he brought a lighted candle in contact with the gas rising from the barrel, which exploded, throwing him against the cellar wall, tearing np the cellar floor, and badly scalding the people in the house. A curious accident occurred a few evenings since at the Theatre do la Porte St. Martin. Madame B., one of the artistes de ballet, wore on her head a steel crown, surmounted by a star, to which was attached a wire connecting with an electric battery, which when in play elicited sparks of fire ; but the shock proved too severe, and the danseuse was struck senseless on the stage ; sho soon, however, recovered, and ro sum ed her place. The Petersburg Gazette makes tbta valuable suggestion : "Some timo ' during tho life of AN SBKW JACKSON he was presented with a sword or snuff-box, which he directed by his will to be given to whatever citizen of the United States should most distinguish himself at some future time by meritorious service to the country. We suggest the propriety of referring to the will of the deceased President, in order that its provisions may be fully carried out. We suppose that either Gene? ral LEE or General QUANT will be tho recipient of ibis valuable legacy." To show the wonderful rapidity with which Texas is settling, we quote from one of our exchanges the following description of Sherman, a town, judging from its name, which has evidently sprung up since the war: "Sherman can boast of as good ft alto as any town in Northern Texas. It is situ? ated near the centre of Grayson County, and in the richest portion of the State. It contains as many or more business houses than any town of its ?iza. -in the State; ten dry goods houses, one large church^one hotel, one boarding house, one restaurant, three groceries, four blacksmith shops, four wood shops, and the finest brick buildings in Northern Texas." Empress E?OBMIA intendsjto hold two exhibitions of her own during the next year-one in Trianon, the other at Malmaison. At Trianon'all the fur? niture and things that have any reference to HABIB ASTOXBKIK are to he brought together ; at Malmaison, those referring to JOSEPHINE and H?HTEN ss. They will be, to a certain extent, loan collections, aa the Empress ie to address herself publicly to the proprietors of all suitable relics. The two palaces will be decorated exactly os they were in the lifetime of these illustrions person? ages. A "guide," with a historical introduction and a complete index of all the furniture, dresses, jewels, linen, ?te., is said to be already ia prepara? tion. The Louisville Courier of the 8th says : "Yes? terday afternoon a young lady, whose name wo are requested to withhold, being out visiting, hap? pened to pass tbo Tosidenoe of Mrs. M. C. CEOCKKTT, on First street, near College street, when Mrs. C., ?seing her pass, called her ?nd invited her into her residence. The young lady having been acquainted with her almost from infancy, accepted her Invitation and went in. It would be well for ns to state here that Mrs. CBOCKETT, since her husband's death, has lived secluded, occupying her r?sidence by her herself, and has become a victim to a monomania, in which she thinks that everybody is seeking her life, and that her neighbors, especially, have threatened to kill hex. After the young lady had entered tho house and bad taken a seat, Mrs. C., apparently perfectly sane and right, got dawn the Bible and requested her to read a ferr chapters. She did so; bat after reading for nuu-iy an hour, expressed that abe was tired, and prepared to go home. At this time the old lady became excited, and attacked the girl. As the old lady had locked the door, there vms no way of escape bat by the window, and toward thia she ran, screaming. Mrs. OBOOK wrr followed, and overtook her, and choked her pretty badly. The girl, however, managed to struggle looae, and again attempted to escape, bet the old woman picked ap the poker and ron after her, striking at har with it. The girl then com anenoed crying "morder," in which the old woman Joined tastily, the latter, however, atm using the ?oker. When the neighbors went to the rescue tia-girl was almost frightened to death, and badly beaten and tom up. ' The old lady had also hort Jwwslf badly withes, poker."

SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 12,1867. TEE LIFE AND CHARACTER OF BISHOP ELLIOT!. We take pleasure in announcing to our read era that tho next issue of our WEEKLY will contain an able and elaborate biographical momoir of the above-named late lamented pre? late, written by the band of affection. Those desirous of procuring extra copies should send in their names in time. "THE COMMISSIONER FROM 30 UTH CARO Not a singlo day has passed, during the past four weeks, in which wc. did not find something about Col. AYBATRBKLT'S "mission" to Washing? ton in almost crerjr cj.eluu.5a that comes to our j "saw TI.? u.m- ?r South Carolina is fast be? coming odious in tho South, and an object of I derision in the North,-and all because of what ? Because the Courier, in its over-anxiety to obtain- a sensational paragraph, published what it was pleased to call an authentic state? ment of his visit to Washington, given to it from the lips of Col. WEATHERLY himself. We have refrained from ' saying anything on tho subject, because wo thought we knew some? thing of the gentlemen who compose the Senate of South Carolina, and more especially because we have enjoyed a personal acquaintance with Col. WEATHERLY; and we did not believe that tho Sonate would send to Washington for the purpose alleged, nor that Col. W. would have consented to go on such an embassy. We were satisfied to wait until we should hear from Col. W. himself, and we are pleased to have it in our power this morning to furnish a full ond completo contradiction to tho many false rumors and so-called authentic statements that have gone forth in reference to this whole matter. Tho following from Col. W. will ex? plain itself: 2b the Editor of the Cliarleston Baily News : In the Courier ot the 25th December there ap? peared an editorial statement headed, in capitals, "The Kcportod Commission from the Stato of South Carolina to Washington," and on the 5th January another editorial headed, "Col. Weather ly'8 Statement," it which it is said, "We sought an interview with him" (mysolf), "and from bis lipB obtained tho important information which we had the pleasure of laying before our readers the fol? lowing morning." To all thiB I have simply and briefly to say that I never authorized the publication of any state? ment concerning my visit to Washington. I was applied to for such authority, and expressly and positively rofused it. I have further to say, that the statements axe, in some essential particulars, inaccurate. For instance-it is not correct to say-and I have never said-that my visit to Washing? ton was "to confer with the President on the probability of tho Stato being restored to her place in the Union should she adopt the Constitutional Amendment." Nor is it true that I was "a Commissioner of the Stato of South Carolina," or of her Legislature, to confer with any one upon the subjoct of the Con? stitutional Amendment. ber of Senators for tho purpose of satisfying my own mind, and to give them the benefit of such in? formation as I might be able to obtain concerning the condition of public affairs. It seems to me that this was a very proper purpose, which ought not to have attracted any public attention, and which certainly has been greatly misunderstood and misrepresented in every direction. T. C. WEATHERLY. BEN?TETTSVUXE, HASZJSOEO?GH DISTRICT, Janua? ry 1,1867. THE REPORT OF THE REVENUE COM? MISSIONER. Outside of the settlement of the affairs ofthe South, there is no measure which so urgently demands the consideration of the Government at Washington as the adjustment, on a fair and equitable basis, of the system of taxation which is to be enforced for the payment of the na? tional debt and thc support of the governmental establishment. As the passions arising from the war subside, the tariff and internal revenue systems will exact moro earnest thought, and require a higher statesmanship than the pre? sent Congress appears to possess,-which will be only noted in the future for its promotion of sectional strife and partizan bitterness. Under any system of revenue, the payment of the interests, and a provision for thc gradual extinction of a debt of $2,500,000,000 will seriously embarrass many branches of national industry ; but when marked, as are some fea? tures of the present system, by great inequality and unfairness, it will be a wonder if many pursuits do not decline and die under its withering operation. The people of the North are already giving their attention to the diminished prosperity which at present attend the pursuit of great branches 'of Trade which were formerly very successful and growing, but which have since, and during the war, ceased to be the wealth-creating machines which they were previously. The Commissioner of the revenue, Mr. WELLS, hos lately made a report on the financial system of the Government, which is attracting considerable attention, and its views and opinions are being noticed at length in many of the public journals. He states that, while th? cost of subsistence has advanced ninety per cent-, the wages of labor have only increased sixty. This fact exhibits moat strikingly the impoverishing effect which a heavy system of taxation has in diminishing th? limitad means of ' the laboring classes. Massachusetts has suffered-the decrease in the number of hands employed in many branches of the cotton manufacture in that State having reached thirty-one per cent., and in the consumption of raw cotton fifty-six per sent. One of the most striking features of the leoline has been in ;the shipping interest, ivhich, before the war, was the pride and boast jf the country-the registered tonnage eng&g ?d in the foreign trade having, in five years, allen off over fifty per cent., and formerly ex? ceded that of Great Britain, but is now thirty hree per cenL less. In November last there -as but a single vessel in course of construc io i at the ship-yards of New York, and only ?ne or two at Boston ; and the report says that n the opinion of exporienoed New York ship ?wners, "that no voyage with--an American vessel can be planned at the present time from he United States to any foreign port with a .easoncbls expectation of. profit," " In many ?ranches of manufacturo" (the report states) 'the internal rates of taxation, superadded to he high prices paid for raw materials and for abor, sweep nearly all the profits into the offers of the Governmeat." . The Nev,- York Times, in noticing tho report, ?71: "The condition of our currency is dwelt troon by lr. Wells as one of the most prpMo^soprceB of ho evils from whioh we suffer. Gold, and silver re properly a measure of value, because they are ue product of labor, and, as such, the supply of item is regulated by natural laws. But the supply f oar legal-tender paper mono i has depended ex instvely on the wants of tb? Government and the otivity of the printing press. Hence, moder the Deration of PUT present currency, commercial slues are arbitrary and capricious, and prices vary jntinuolly, In defiance of known laws or prece dents. Tho spirit of speculation has taken thc T place of the spirit of production; distrust and un? certainty aro accompanied with extravagance and recklessness. "Thcso thing?," tho roport re? mind!! u?i->'havo horno heavily on tho laboring classes, and on most of tho rorruinr industries; havo largely increased tho cost of living, while thoy have givon to tho poor nono of tho compensating advantages which capitalists dori ve from an un? settling of tho value of property." Mr. Webster's saying is cited ns apposite. "Or all tho con? trivances," said the groat Daniel, "for cheating tho laboring classes of mankind, nono bas 1 Jon found moro effectual than that which deludos thom with an irredeemable paper currency." Anothor cause of industrial and trading disturb? ance-and perhaps of all causea tho most power? ful-is tho extent of tho burdon of national taxa? tion. Mr. WOUB' illustrative facts are most instructive. Thus, taking tho revenue raised by internal taxation and from customs during the las t fiscal year as the basis of calculation, wo find that the taxation or tho American people is heavier, por hood, than that of any pcoplo in the world. It was $11.4G, gold, per capita, against $10.92 in Groat Britain, $7.97 in Franco, $5.69 in Belgium, $3.43 in Prussia, ?5.27 in Austria. An examination of tho ratio of taxation to property brings out a still more unfavorable result. In tho United States, during tho last fiscal year, it amounted to three and niDoly-tbrce ono-hundredths (3.93) per cont., while in Great Britain it waB only nine-tenths ot one por cent.
