Tho New York Keening Post appoals to Congress for some wiso legislation upon financial matters in an article beginning with tho following : Wo scorn, from tho numerous complaints wo hoar, to be falling upon what are popularly known as "hard times." Business in most branches is dull; men who have boen a dozen or twenty years engaged in mercantile pursuits tell us thoy iinver knew such unprosperous times.-: Sales are small; stocks of goods aro not renewed; everybody is oither waiting or suffering; either poor, or pru? dently expecting to be so. It is true that this is the dull season of the year, when trade is expected to languish somewhat; but there is more thau a mere temporary deadness. The great crash, which was so long lookod (or, may not como, because it has boen provided against to a certain extent. It is pretty sure that mon in general do not owe much noney; ciedit is not free; indebtedness is not great or widespread; tho elements of a "groat crash" aro not, thereforo, at hand. But it would scorn that wo may have presently a general stagnation of business, a dull? ness and deadness as discouraging and disabling as the great revulsion of 1857-perhaps even moro so. Wo hear daily of trado and industry leaving us, and seeking refuge with our neighbors in the British provincos, or further yet. Om* merchants findet impossible to sell American products at a profit abroad; mir workmen, in many branches of industry, are without employment; men long and prosperously established in business aro compelled to abandon that in whicn they excelled, and to turn their capital and energy into pursuits less profitable to the country. Lidustry and trade aro ilike paralyzed. The cause of all this is well known. Our curren? cy is depreciated, our skilled labor is forcibly turned into unaccustomed channels by unwise legislation; our manufacturers are burdoned with taxes, which-make production loo costly for us to compete in tho world's markets wi h other nations; jur people are forced by unjust laws to buy thoir raw materials and many of the necessaries of lifo in tho dearest markets. Lu all thia tho enemies of liberty seo cause for joy and hope. "The delayB of your 'Congross will vet Berve na as we would not sorve ourselves," ex? claimed a Bhrewd Democrat, tho other day, to a Republican. "In all that goes on with you," wrote i Southern man, a rebel, to a friend nore lately, "we seo cause for hope. In keeping us out, you do as a service-we shall escape tho min anddisgraco you are bring upon yourselves. Wo may yet at? tain what we wish, by your own soif-destruction." Underwood as a Real Estate Operator. A Richmond correspondent of the New York Herald gives the following version of the process by which tho pure and spotless Judgo UNDERWOOD became tho owner of valuable property in Alexan? dria. If the facts be as here set forth, and if the United States Senate were what it should be, there would be no difficuly in impeaching and disrobing bim. Says the Heraldos correspondent : A revelation hitherto unknown in relation to the confiscation of the property of Mr. W. N. McVeigh, in Alexandria, by Judgo Underwood, has lately come to light. It will be remembered, from tho published statements, that after thc confiscation this property ivas purchased by Oakes Ames, John B. Alley ar.il Samuel Hooper, of Massachusetts, and the worthy Judge himself; but having some gravo doubts as tb bho validity of tho title thus acquired, judgments obtained by attachments against McVeigh during the war were purchased, the properly sold again, and the. above parties again becoming tho pur? chasers at a mero fractional part of its value. In this way, as Mr. Anion otaiod, a double titlo was gained; 'but this transaction having been brought Before Judge Thomas, at Alexandria, the sale was leclared illegal, and tho Congressional trio from Massachusetts, as well as tho Judge, had again to Tall back upon the original foe simple confiscation title. McVeigh, an original Union man, was at tho breaking out of hostilities absent from his homo, within tue rebel lines, and notwithstanding repeat? ed efforts to return, was unable to do so; he per? sistently refused every inducement offered bini to participate in the rebellion, and when, at tho close of the war, he was enabled to return to Alexandria, it was only to find, as a reward foi? ble constancy, his house occupied by Judgo Underwood, and all his valuable property confiscated and sold. Ho immediately called apon th ; Judge and demanded copies of tba papers upon which this action was based, and was told to apply for them at Norfolk. This ho did, but Underwood knowing that the tcnuro of thc property upon thoBe was very uncertain, proceeded at once lo Norfolk, held the court, at which somo forty officers of tho late Confederate Government wero indicted for treason, and as this was a chanco not to be lost, placed tho name of McVeigh upon the list, his being the only civilian's appearing thereon. This precluded the possi uility of McVeigh (now under tho ban of treason) taking any civil action for the recovery of his lawful property, und until he can be tried for this offence tho matter remains in statu quo. McVeigh is now sixty years of age, with a large family dependent upon him, and aB tho property now hold by Ames, Alley, Hooper and Underwood is thc accumulation bf over forty years of industry, economy and close attention to business, it is'to be hoped that this outrago on tho part ol' thc Judgo and his colleagues from Massachusetts will moot with the censure it so eminently deserves from tho public. . NEOBO POPULATION OF THE SOUTH.-In a com? munication to the Socretary of War on tbo 21st ultimo Geueral HOWARD, of tho Freedmen's Bu? reau; says : In Virginia tho freedmen have decreased in number; estimated population at this date 500, [)00. North Carolina estimated about tho census of 1860-360,000. South Carolina decreased; present population estimated at 375.000. Georgia estima? ted at 100.000. Tho population of Florida has re? mained about the same as when tho census of 18 0 was taken, 72,G77. In Mississippi a censuabas been taken since the close of the war, showing a slight decrease; 820,000 is the present colored population of thc State. In Louiaiaua; reported colored popu? lation, 350.000.- Texas-the Assistant Commis? sioner of tho Stato reports an increado; colored population estimated at 200,000. Missouri-it is probable that the freedmen havu left this State in numbers for Kansas, Iowa, &c, estimated popula? tion, 100,000. In Arkansas thc colored population has decreased to about 100,000. In Tennessee tho Assistant Commissioner estimates an increaso from 280,000 population in I860 to 300,000. A MYSTERY UNRAVELLED.-For somo time past the quiet, peaceable and law-abiding citizens of the southwestern portion of our city, near the Seventh Infantry encampment, have been missing taeir cows and calves, and wore at a loss to know what became of them. Ono gentleman missed two half-grown calves at one time. It was thought strange that these animals should so soon forget their master's crib, around which they had been fed for many days; but the mystery of Ihcir disap? pearance is at last unravellod' and this is its solu? tion: The soldiers of the encampment lull them for their ownuBo! Last Sunday evening, about dark, a white and black cow was shot by some nf th^ soldiers and dragged into thi encampment. A gentleman residing iii that portion of the town arrived at tho spot in timo to see the ow dragged away. Learning this state of things, wo were naturally lod to ask if tho troops were not fur? nished abundant rations, and if it was real neces? sity that caused them to commit these depreda? tions, whon we were informed that (hey arc al? lowed to draw money instead of rations. If this be so, we appeal to * tho military authorities to alter it, injustice to our citizens, as well as for the peace and dignity of our community at large. I Tallahassee Floridian. COMMODORE PORTER WOUNDED.-FORTRESS MON? ROE, January 7.-Tho storm off Hatteras, which was encountered by the United States steamer Don, was a severe northeaster. A heavy sea rolled the Don's bulwarks under water, washed away her cutter, and snapped oft' her mainmast, and at one time it was thought shG woidd go down. Admiral Porter received a painful contusion on hin side, having boen thrown across tho cabin, and Com? mander Chandler was injured in tho hand. Several seamen were also injured. Assistant Secretary Seward escaped. Furniture entirely wrecked. A NOBLE WOMAN.-The Republican Banner says that on thc 29th ult. a quantity of corn, pork and clothing passed through Nashville on the way to Atlanta, being a portion of 10,000 bushels of corn, 200 barrels of pork, etc., which Mrs. Sarah Hughes, of Lexington, Ky., had succeeded in collecting in linr neighborhood for the suffering poor of Georgia. Theso supplies arc to bo distributed to all tho needy, without regard to age, sex, politics or color. Mrs. Hughos is sixty-five years of age, and must certainly bo a woman of extraordinary energy to llave accomplished so great a work. The Loni?-, ville, Nashville and Chattanoogo Railroads trans Eort these supplies free of charge, as they have ithorto dono with all others of a similar nature. lt is stated that an apparatus has recently been invented for purifying thc vitiated air of theatres, churches, depots.*and crowded lecture halls. It consists of a metallic vessel, which revolves, and containing perfumed water, the latter is given off by the application of heat, in the form of steam, through jets placed on thc outside of tho vessel. This steam being disseminated throughout thc apartment, absorbs and precipitates tho poisonous matter present m the atmosphere.-Exchange. Our New York Letter. [FROM OCR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] NEW YORK January 9.-To impeach or not to im? peach ! that is the question: whether Congress will bo content to let us bear the ills we hare, or chive us, tho country in general and themselves in particular, to others that we know not of, and can nob estimate. People here who have no money and no property tako no moro interest in tho mat? ter than thoy would if they wore citizens of Egypt, but tho monied men are alarmed: tho bono and sinew are scared; tho WaD street bankers and Fifteenth avenue lords aro trembling in their pa? tent loather shooB, for, as I have observed in many of my letters, they behove that if the Presi? dent bo impeached, gold will riso with ruinous rapidity, and a financial crash will come. Let it come, if it must, it cannot injure the already impoverished South, and may bring the people of tho North to their senses, and compel them to help us in helping themselves. Congress may op 1 press tho South with impunitv; but let them be? ware how they touch the Northern pocket men. Six hundred German lager beor venders met yesterday, in solemn conclave, at the Bowery Gar? den, and passed resolutions damning the Excise Law in tho best high Dutch, after which they drank beor by the hour, then passed more damn? ing resolutions, and drank lager again. The Ger? mans are determined to put down tho law, and will, no doubt, eventually succeed, for there are three hundred "thousand . Teuton beor drinkers in Now York city, resolved to do or die that they may drink and live. A lecture was dolivered last night at Zion Church, before an audience composed of blacks and whites, in the proportion of ten to one, on the subject of Human Rights. Tho lecturer contend? ed that this was originally the black man's coun? try, and inferred that a negro is rather better than a white man. This may be so. There ia certainly more fuss made over bim, whether he be or not. Tho Irishmen hero are indignant at the report received by telegram from Canada that Head Centre Stephens has proved to be a bad book koep er by offering to hand over the hooks of the Fenian Brotherhood, on condition that he be allowed to return to Oreen Erin without being arrested and held in duranoo vilo. The report is not believed, but it may not be without foundation, for Stephens must have perceived ere this that the caus?is hopeless, and may desire t-? take core of number one, as almost all tho world does. The Herald, of to-day's issue, contains a lengthy obituary notice of General Arthur P. Hayne, giv? ing a biographical sketch of the life of tho distin? guished decoased, and eulogizing nim as he so well deserves, concluding with the remark that "as one of tho prominent representatives of a genera? tion now passing away from earth, his death will bo lamented throughout thc country." "Tho man that lays his hand on a woman, save in tho way of kindness;" should be fined by tho Court. Thomas Mullen not only laid his hand on Mary Sweeny, but brought it down in a most un? kind and injurions manner. Mary thought the beating was cheap at three thousand dollars dam? ages, but the Court was of the opinion that two hundred dollars was enough, and so decided. I mentioned in my lost that the churches are drawing just as well as the theatres. Plymouth^ Church,'in Brooklyn, bids fair to boat even Niblo's Garden. There was an auction there, j'esterday, of choice Boats, and ono sold aa high as five hun? dred ar.d fifty dollars-an advance of four hundred aud twenty dollars on its assessed value. This proves that rich poople can bo religious as well as poor ones. There wero great doings yesterday at Jerome Park, whore the skating pond was thrown open for the benefit of thc privileged. The Bons and daugh? ters of tho aristocracy showed that they are quite as expert in skating as the more democratic classes, and the lake was soon filled with ladies and gentle? men, who slid along with as much ease and grace as though, instead of being born with teeth, like Richard the Third, they had come into the world with skates on. But I will not describe the skating, ( lest I tiro your readers with too much of a good thing, for I must try their prtience in my next, wherein I propose to indulge in a description of tho grand skating carnival and fancy diesB ball (on ico), which is to come off to-night at Major Oatman's pond, and which I shall attend for the special benefit of the readors of tho NEWS. If is saidthut this affair will really be a big thing on ico, and BO I havo determined to invest in a tioket, and see tho ico ball. Yesterday, tho 8th of January, tho anniversary of the battle of New Orloans, was celebrated here by tho hoisting of the national flag on thc public buildings, and in no other manner; to-day, the 9th of January and thc anniversary of the birthday of your correspondent, is, Btrang? to relate, not cele? brated at all, except by a dinner to bc given by a boarding house-keeper in Fourteenth street, for tho benefit of others as well as himself. No toasts will ho given at the dinner, no speeches will ho made, and nothing wih be drank but small cups of bad cofl'oe; even tho uowspaporB here have nought to say on tho all-important subject of tho advent of Moultrie's natal day. Tho unusual dullnoss in trade hero is attributed by business men to the fact that prices are BO high that people are in doubt as to whether they can possibly remain where thov are or whether they must full oro long. Ono of tho best commercial papors published here gives tho prices of various articles on the third of January of each year, from I860 to 1807 inclusive, showing how nearly every? thing has advanced, out of all proportion to the difference in currency and gold. On January 3d, 18t?0, wheat flour (Stato) was $4 30 ; on January 3d, 18C7, it was quoted at $11. The best extra Genesseo went up from $7 50 to $16. Cotton middling upland-jumped in the seven years from ll cents to 34 couts ; codfish from $4 50 to $8 ; Scotch pig iron $24 50 to $50 ; English bars from $53 to $105, and BO on ad jinem. The question is, will prices romain as they are ? liut being compe? tent to answer tho question 1 give it up, and so leave a subject which is drawing me rather boyoud my depth. Though business is dull the city is. not, and skating ponds, churches and theatres aro all drawing. MOULTRIE. State Items.

NOT HIMNO.-WO learn that the planters of tho vicinity are experiencing groat difficulty in obtain? ing hands for tho next yoar. Tho results of tho last year wei e so unfavorable that the freedmen aro not disposed to work for a share in tho crop, and the tempting wages offerod by the agents of Western planters have induced large numbers to Icare tho Stato. Wu wish the freedmen well-and blame no man for making any chingo which bet? ters his condition ; but it is very questionable whether their dreams of prosperity in tho West will bo realized. Tho adrice of Gen. Howard, on i this point, is vory sound and timely, and should be brought to the attention of every freedman who has tho Western fever. General Howard is the j Chief of the Bureau, and has no interest save to ! promoto what ho believes to bo tho welfare of the treed people.-Auqusta Press. j GAZELLE FIRE COMPANY NO. 4.-It is a note? worthy fact that ono of thc principal and com? mendable features in the policy of our successive City Council has ever been tho encouragement ex? tended the city's gallant firemen. Particularly is this truo of thu present Council. The wisdom of tho course pursued has been gradually, but abun? dantly proved; for to it may bo attributod tho suc? cessful organization and development of tho "Au? gusta Fire Department," which deservedly holds a very promiucnt place in tho affections of * our peo? ple, botweou whom and tho fiery clement it has, times without number, stood as a sure defence. Our object, at this time, ia to congratulate tho members of Gazollo Fire Company No 4, upon the completion of their hall, and in so doing wo may bo permitted to expresa tho belief that, of all our tried, noble and heroic fire organizationa (whether "independent" or not), there aro nono more activo and daring than that justmoutionod. The Gazelle is fl'oll Foster-e?-therefore well established. Thc new hall is about fifty feet in length by oigh tcen feet in width; in it are'two magnificent gratos, and imitation marblu mantels. ?The walls aro hung around with lithographs of tho Hons.

HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS stand pre-eminent among medicinal preparations in this country. The demand for them is something wonderful, unparalleled; hence tho counterfeiters know full well that if they can impose their fiery fluids upon the people as that famous tonic, they can make fortunes by the fraud. They ore now at work. Detectives are on the trail of some of them, and others have been already brought to book. Let the public second the proprietors in their ef? forts to baffle the reckless scoundrels who seek at once to poison the community and swindle the firm that has pro ! duced the finest Vegetable Bitters ever manufactured Thinking to dodgo, the law, the counterfeiters are affixing to their bottles names resembling in orthography and sound that of HOSTETTER, such as "HMHOTETTEB,'' "HooFsrETTEE," aud the like. Will the public bo kind enough to look to this, and to see also that the label is all right, with its vignette of St George and the Dragon, and its tiny note of hand, signed " HOSTETTER k 8MTTH?" The proprietors will do their part to protect the million from imposition, and they ask the minion to he on the alert against the plotters against their health. January 14 C HOSTETTER & SMTTH. CARD.
