The Twentieth and Eleventh Infantry, tho only troops at present in Richmond, Ta., have been ordered off to the Western plains. The Jackson (Miss.) Clarion loams that the re? mains of the late Gen. War. BAUKSDALE will bo re? moved from Gettysburg to that placo for inter? ment in a few days. Owing to tho depression in business tho princi? pal mill owners of Lawrence, Mass., have notified their employees of a reduction of ten per cent, on their wages. The Dickson House, a popular house of enter? tainment in Jackson, Miss., was destroyed by fire on the night of the 4th inst. The loss is estimated at $35,000, upon which the insurance had expired but a few weeks previously. As an evidence of the enormous receipts of the mammoth papers of New York, it is stated that tho cash receipts of the New York Tribune for the last week were $62,869.98, which is 80 per cent, more than the receipts ol' any previous week. Potatoes are made into starch in New England at an extensive rate. A single starch factory in Vermont has ia this way consumed twenty-eight thousand bushels of potatoes within the past three months. 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 the West can be shipped from New Orleans to Europe at much less cost than from New York. Two cities, which desire to be considered as rivals 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 a 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 without provision in any church or sect-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 declared a se mi-annual dividend of eight per cent, on the capital stock. This is the second dividend within the year, the former being of ten per cent.; making eighteen per cent for the year. This is doing very well for an institution the first year of its existence. MAVTMTT.TAK is said to havo a regular Mexican force of thirty-five thousand, with an auxiliary foroe of twenty-five thor sand men, exclusive of the French, who are paid regularly every morning. If that is the case, MAX. has a very respectable basis to sustain himself. The railroad over Mount Cenis, Italy, to be done next spring, masters grades as steep as one foot in twelve, and the 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 parohment patent of nobility, and a manuscript of moral sayings. At least so says tho St. Martin Demovrat. 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 cent, from the cash valuation. The citizens of Galla tin and Sumner county, Tennessee, have organized a Southern Relief As? sociation, for the purpose of procuring and for? warding supplies to the suffering and destitute widows and orphans of the South. Already con? 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 go home and rule the wife, and see if they could not then be happier. SAMUEL Cox, of Saratoga, Minnesota, slacked some Mme in a kerosene barrel, the other day. While stirring it, he brought a lighted candle in contact with tho gas rising from the barrel, which exploded, throwing him against the cellar wall, tearing up the cellar floor, and badly scalding the people in the house. A curious accident occurred a few evenings since at the Theatre de Ia Porte St. Martin. Madame B., one of the artistes de ballet, woro on her head a Bteel 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 ; she soon, however, recovered, and resumed her place. The Petersburg Gazette makes this valuable suggestion : "Some time during tho life of AN? DREW 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 tho country. We suggest the propriety of referring to the will of tho deceased President, in order that its provisions may be fully carried out. We suppose that either Gene? ral LES or General GBANT will be tho recipient of * 'ii j valuable legacy." To show the wonderful rapidity with which Texas is settling, we quote from ono of our exchanges the following description of Sherman, a town, judging from its name, which has ovidontly sprung up since the war: "Sherman can boast of as good a site 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 size 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 EUGENIA 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 referenco to MARTE ANTOINETTE are to be brought together ; at Malmaison, those referring to JOSEPHINE and HORTENSE. They will be, to a certain extent, loan collections, as the Empress is to address herself publicly to the proprietors of all suitable relics. The two palaces will be decorated exactly as they were in the lifetime of these illustrious person? ages. A "guide,0 with a historical introduction and a complete index of all tho furniture, drosses, jewels, linen, &c, ia said to be already ?D prepara? tion. The Louisville Courier of tho 8th Bays: "Yes? terday afternoon a young lady, whose name we are requested to withhold, being out visiting, hap? pened to pass the residence of Mrs. M. C. CROCKETT, on First street, near College street, when Mrs. C., seeing her pass, caUed her and invited her into her residence. Tho young lady having been acquainted with her almost from infancy, accepted her invitation and went in. It would be well for us to state here that Mrs. CROCKETT, since her husband's death, has lived secluded, occupying her residence 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 tlircateued to kill her. After the young lady had euterod the house and had taken a Beat, Mrs. C., apparently perfectly sane and right, got down the Bible and requested her to read a few chapters. She did so but after reading for nearly an hour, expressed that she was tired, and prepared to go home. At this timo the old lady became excited, and attacked the girl. As the old lady had locked the door, there was no way of eBcapo but by tho window, and toward this she ran, screaming. Mrs. CROCK? ETT followed, and overtook her, and choked her pretty badly. Tho girl, however, managed to struggle 10O30, and again attempted to escape, but the old woman picked up the poker and run after her, striking at her with it. The girl then com? menced crying "murder," in which the old woman joined lustily, the latter, however, still using the poker. When the neighbors wont to the rescue the girl was almost frightened to death, and badly beaten and torn up. The old lady had also hurt herself badly with the poker."

SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 12,1867. THE LIFE AND CHARACTER OF BISHOP ELLIOT!.

Those desirous of procuring extra copies should send in their names in time. ?THE COMMISSIONER FROM SOUTH CARO? LINA." Not a single day has passed, during the past four weeks, in which we did not find something about Col. WEATHEKLY'S "mission" to Washing ton in almost every :change that comes to our office. The name ot ..outh Carolina is fast be? coming odious in tho South, and an object of deridion 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 the subject, because we 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 the Senate 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 wc are pleased to have it in our power this morning to furnish a full and complete contradiction to the many false rumors and so-called authentic statements that have gone forth in reference to this whole matter. The following from Col. W. will ex? plain itself: To the Editor of Oie CJtarleston Daily News : In the Courier of the 25th December there ap? peared an editorial statement headed, in capitals, "Tho Reported Commission from the State of South Carolina to Washington," and on the 5th January another editorial headed, "Col. Weather ly's Statement," it which it ia said, "We sought an interview with him" (myself), "and from his lips obtained tho important information which we had the pleasure of laying before our readers the fol? lowing morning." To all this I havo simply and briefly to Bay that I never authorized the publication of any state? ment concerning my visit to Washington. I was applied to for such authority, and oxpressly and positively refused it. I have further to Bay, that tho statements are, in some essential particulars, inaccurate. For instance-it ia not correct to say-and I have never said-that my visit to Washing? ton was "to confer with the President on tho probability of the State being restored to her place in the Union should she adopt the Constitutional Amendment." Nor is it true that I was "a Commissioner of tho State of South Carolina," or of her Legislature, to confer with any ono upon the subject of tho Con? stitutional Amendment. I did go to Washington at the instance of a num? ber of Senators for tho purpose of satisfying my own mind, and to give thom the benefit of such in? formation as I might be able to obtain concerning the condition of public affairs. It seems tome that this was a very proper purpose, which ought not to havo attracted any public attention, and which certainly has been greatly misunderstood and misrepresented in every direction. T. C. WEATHERLY. BENNETTSvnxE, MARLBOROUGH DiSTBicT, Janua? ry 1, 1867. _________ THE REPORT OF THE REVENUE COM? MISSIONER. Outside of the settlement of thc affairs of th 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 the support of the governmental I establishment. As the passions arising from the war subside, the tariff ana 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 I of sectional 6trife and partizan bitterness ? Under any syBtcm of revenue, the payment, of j the interests, and a provision for the gradunl j extinction of a debt of $2,500,000,000 will j seriously embarrass many branches of nauonal industry ; but when marked, as arc some fen turcs of the present system, by great inequality and unfairness, it will bc a wonder if many pursuits do not decline and die under its withering operation. Tho people of the North arc 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, has lately made a report on the financial system of the Government, which is attracting considerable attention, and its views and opinions arc being noticed at length in many of the public journals. He states that, while the cost of subsistence has advanced ninety per cent., the wages of labor have only increased sixty. This fact exhibits moat strikingly tho impoverishing effect which a heavy system of taxation has in diminishing the limited means of the laboring classes. Massachusetts luis suffered-the decrease in the number of hands employed in many branches of the cotton manufacture in that State having reached thirly-onc per cent., and in thc consumption of raw cotton fifty-six pet cent. One of thc most striking features of thc decline has been in the shipping interest, which, before the war, was the pride and boast of the country-the registered tonnage engag? ed in the foreign trade having, in five years, fallon off over fifty.per cent., and formerly ex ceeded that of Great Britain, but is now thirty three per cent. less. In November last there was but a singlo vessel in course of construc? tion at tho 8hip-yards of New York, and only one or two at Boston ; and the report says that, in the opinion of experienced New York ship? owners, "that no voyage with an American vessel CHU be planned nt thc present time from thc United States to any foreign port with a reasonable expectation of profit." " In many branches of manufacture" (the report states) "the internal rates of taxation, superadded to the high prices paid for raw materials and for labor, sweep nearly all the profits into the coffers of thc Government." The New York Times, in noticing the report, says: wTh.?r condition of our currency is dwelt upon by Mr. Wells as ono of tho most prolific sources of the evils from which wo suffer. Gold and silver arc properly a measure of value, becauso they are the product of labor, and, us such, tho supply of them is regulated by natural laws. But the suppl v ol our ogal-tender paper mono . had depended ex? clusively on the wanta of thc Government and the nSn? '? S? Pating pross. Hence, under the operation ot our present curroncv, commercial values wc arbitrary and capricious, aud prices vary continually, m denanco of known laws or prece ionts. Tho spirit of speculation has takon tho place of tho spirit of production; distrust and un? certainty arc accompanied with extravagance and recklessness. "Thcso : nings," tho report re? in i mis us, "havo horno heavily on tho laboring clares, and on most of tho regular industries; have largely increased tho coat of living, while they have priven to tho poor none of tho compensating advantages which capitalists dorivo from an un? settling of tho valno of property." Mr. Wooster's saving is cited na apposite. "Of all tho con? trivances," said the groat Daniel, "for cheating the laboring classes of mankind, nono has boon found more effectual than that which doludos them with au irredeemable paper currency." Another cause of industrial and trading disturb? ance-and perhaps of all causes tho most power? ful-is thc extent of tho burden of national taxa? tion. Mr. "Wells' illustral i vo facts aro most instructive. Thus, taking tho revenue raised by internal taxation and from customs during the last fiscal year as the basis of calculation, wc find that thc taxation ol" tho American people is heavier, per head, than that of any peoplo in the world. It was $11.40, gold, per capita, against $10.92 in Great Britain, $7.97 in Franco, $5.59 in Belgium, $5.43 in Prussia, $5.27 in Austina. An examination of tho ratio of taxation to property brings out a etUl moro unfavorable result. In the United States, during tho last fiscal year, it amounted to three and ninety-three ono-hundredths (3.93) per cont., while in Great Britain it was only nine-tenths of one per cent. _ WANTS.
