The Commissioner* of the County of Hearieo, Va., in their returns of births, deaths, and mar? riages within tho county, during 1886, report 116 births, 172 deaths, and 275 marriages. The city of Richmond is in this county. Ihe Mobile reporters hare a quiet way of re? cording things. Ono of them opened a local para? graph last week as follows: "Night before last, Mr. HABWSOTON shot at Mr. WOODSO? and killed Mr. FABBAOTJT.. Buch accidents aa this are not un .omSQon.s -ig*? In Manchester, N. H., a man named Jtzxra. had a quarrel with a milliner named Miss BELLS, ori? ginating in jealousy. In the height of his pas? sions he drew a revolver and shot at her.

Tho Ewmxiwr, of that place, ?peaking of the great crop of oranges, say? that GO,?00 will be picked from one grove. A gentleman there writes that "they hang in rieh yellow clusters from the traes on the ?idas of tho streets, and the'?oft air is redolent of their rich perfume." During tho year 1866,31,889 emigrant? passed Columbus,watward hound, against 15,140 in 1865, showing an increase in th? past year of 10,719.

A letter in the Savannah News, frott an ageat of tha Havana Telegraph Line, who is. now in South Florida, says that part of the country ia destined botare many years to teem with the richest West india products-tobacoo and sugar of the finest qualities, and tropical fruits of every description. - Wo learn from the Montgpsuiry Mail {Hat "Bishop WrucBB, of Alabama, baa been invited to officiate in tho ?tate of Georgia until the election of a Bishop to fill the vacancy occasioned by tho death of Bishop ELLIOTT. Bishop Wn.vnit will not, of course, exercise ecclesiastical jurisdiction, bu'- will simply perform the rita* of confirmation, ordination, etc." The average value of tho 11,220 Baptist Churches in the United States in 1860 was $1700; of the 19.883 Methodist Churches, $2000; of th? C0G1 Prssbyt?rian Churches, $5000; of th? 2S34 Congre? gational Churches, $6000; of the 2250 Romish Churches, of the 2145 Episcopal Churche*, and of the Dutch Reformed Churches, ?10,000; of the Uni .tarian Churches, $17,000, and of tho Mormon Churches. $48.000. The Edgefiold Advertiser, of a lat? data, says that the present commandant of the post of Au? gusta, Creo., is Goners! SWBEKBT, who was th? leader of last Bummer's ill-starred Fenian expedi? tion into Canada. He is a mamber of the United States regular army; his regiment is the 15th Reg? ular Infantry; it is now, if we mistake not, in Sa? vannah. His rank ia Major. His bieret rank is Colonel. H? has dropped the Fenians, and no l2?E.aJ^87%itlt?^mu^u^x?co.11"",1'-J"~" The Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist of the 18th in?t- advocates the formation of a Land Company, for the purpose of furnishing means to tho plant? ers of Georgia, and for inducing laborers and farm? ers from Europe to remove to central Georgia. It fears that, in consequence of the large migration of blacks from that portion of the Stato, that much of it will become a temporary wilderness, unless semo effective moans are immediately used to draw a large amount of whit? labor in that di? rection. Scientifically, the oyster is a hunsl-libranchiate mollusk. Each oyster can produce 1,200,000 eggs. Each young oyster is the one hundred and twen? tieth bf an inch in length, and about two millions may be packed within the dimensions of a cubic boah. About one-half of all the young oysters ara eaten up by the old fish. Oysters attain their majority in two years. The oyster trade of New Turk alone is estimated at over $5,000,000 annually. Two families of Carter County, Tennessee, named ROBERTS and JOHNSTONE, have been waging a bloody war between each other for twenty years, during which time fourteen mea belonging to theso two families have lost their lives. On the evening of tho 5th inst, the vendetta came to a bloody end in the streets of Elizabeth town, Tenn., by tho ?oie surviving males of the ROBERTS and JOHN STOHB8. They engaged in a personal altercation, which resulted fatally to both. This domestic war .riginatod about a trifling affair. The Erie Railway Company has recently been Ewindlad eat of between thirty and forty thousand dollars. EDWABD H. WSTLEHT, who had been em? ployed to make up the billa of the workmen in the repair shop near Bergen Hill, was in the habit or putting a number of fictitious namo? on each pay-roll, obtaining the certification, and putting the money in his own pocket. On Wednesday last an examination of the matter was to be made, but he fled. The sum lost may be greater or less than ia now supposed. fbe following ia a statement of the emigrants arriving at New York during I860 : From Germany, 1067716; Ireland, 68,047; England, 36,186 ; Scot? land, 4979; Sweden, ?907; Switzerland, 3685; iT&ace, 3246; Denmark, 1528; Holland, 1306; Italy, 918 ; Norway, 583 ; Wales, 540 ; Spain, i-o ; Weat Indies, 246; Poland, 231; Belgium, 157; South America, 155; Russia, 154; Portugal, 96; Men'co, 56; Nova Scotia, 40 ; Canada, 28; China, 26 ; East Indios, 15 ; Africa, 15 ; Australia, 12 ; Cen? tral America, 12 ; Turkey, 8 ; Japan, 7 ; Greece, 5 ; tkoily, 1. Total, 233,418. The broad expanse of marsh lying between the Mobile and Spanish Rivers, which was thickly overgrown with tall grass, waa set on fire, either accidentally or intentionally, a few days ago, and th? grass being aa dry as tinder, the flames spread rapidly, presenting a magnificent spectacle .to tiros? who had a good view of it from th? opposite sido of the river. Immense volumes of smoke rolled heaven? ward, and in their midst innumerable tongues of flame constantly leaped forth as "the devouring element" swept across the plain, driving all living things before the fiery tempest. The scene was grand in the extreme as seen from many of the higher briUdings of the city. The markot for tobacco has boen very much de? pressed ever sine? th? suspension of sales just prior to Christmac There are many reasons whieh hayo produced this result. In the first place, the stoppage of the factories has lessened the demand for consumption in manufacturing and then the extremo stringency in the money market has checked speculation. To these causes may be added the uncertainty attending tho action of Congress in relation to the tax; all parties seem to be standing still, waiting for some indication as to the course the market will take, and in the meantime the fanner has to go without the money which he hoped to realise from th? sale of his crop or Bell at a sacrifice. Admiral TSOSTHOIT is to go ?n his projected ex? pedition to the East next February, and% frigate and corvette are being got ready by the Austrian Government for the purpose.

SATTJXDAr MORNING, JANTJABY 19,1867. B1ST0BIC DOUBTS. "Tho truths o? history are lies-?very one of them." Thia appears to bo tho sum and sub? stance of all modern historical teaching. Faith is natural to the child, and according to this school of philosophy, the ono great task in lifo, the object of all learninc, instruction and knowledge, ?B to bebero nothing,-to doubt everything. In maxy casos this sublime degree of distrust ia not attain? ed before old age, and still oftener men leave this world in happy ignorance of"tho exacting require? ments of unbelief. Some of th's Utter class thor? may be, ?o ignorant of their own ignorance, that they may even question tho utility of a lifo spent inlendeavoring to show that "nobody don't know nothing." Doubting philosophers thora bay? always bo:n, and always will he; to. doubt is ono of the idiosyn- ? cracies of human character, which, if not combat- | ted, must ond in unmooring the very anchors of be? bet But it is nwt our object x> speak of this class of doubtora. "We have no quarrel at this time, either with tho material philosopher or the infidel, in a roUgioos sense. "We refer to tho olasa of | scholars whose pride it is to unsettle popular con? viction in historic truth. The younger NIXBUTLB, in modern times, may be considered tho father of J this nefarious brood. GIBBO?, it is true, by an artful collocation of facts, succeeded in throwing doubt upon the truths of Christianity, without ap? pearing to do so designedly. Others, by specious arguments, havs, at various timos, endeavored to make history corroborate some previously con? ceived theory in pobtics, philosophy or religion. Few, indosd, can be entirely absolved from such I partiality. But it is otherwise with a historian like NIAUu Wt, who, of set purpose, goos to work to sap the foun? dations of history. A very Puritan in bis hatred of Popery, ho seemed to carry .this same animosity to every other antiquated Roman superstition. Ile was the first to show that ROMULUS and BBXU* I were not suckled by a she-wolf ; that Borne was not I built by these said founders, nor at the time usu? ally supposed ; that the Bapo of the Sabines ia a myth ; that EGEEIA waa no nymph at all ; that the combats between the Horatia and Curatii were "auld wives' tales ;" that TABQOXNTOB, in tho lan? guage of SYDNEY SMITH, was a very good family man ; that the title of the modern Anserines to ancient nobibty was spurious, geese never having saved tho capitol-in,fact it is now aecortained tha the "geese did not cackle at all. The Studine ?Forks are a^ mere'legend. HANKIE AL is not yet entirely put aside, we b?lier?, but it is now ?et-r i airily ascertained that he did not "blast the Alps " with vinegar. Modern historians, with the aid of a competent corps jQt analytical chemists, have demonstrated that the work could not bavo been accomplished with acetic acid, and, in fact, that HANNIBAL was not in possession of any sncb chemical compound. The "jewels" of CORNELIA baye turned out mere paste. CICERO, they say, was a coward and a coxcomb ; never delivered his orations against CATALLNE ; that the latter gentle? man was a very respectable citizen, and no con? spirator ; that SALLUST, tho teacher of virtue, waa a great rascal, and GS?SAE never said "Tent, rtdi, viet;" that Li VT waa a perfect HtmoHHAUlXN ; that HOBACX was a scamp, ai d OVID, it is now ascer? tained, was a very good but ill-used young man ; that NEBO bas been much slandered, and old BELISABIUS was not blind at all, "When we come down to CHARLBMAOXB, we find matters still worse, the several ancient and me diteval historians having scarcely -left ga shred of him. It is now gravely contended by many that there never was any such man an - " _ _ -:--uio great German Em? peror, bas boon proven a figment of the fancy; and this, too, while it is well known that the old gen? tleman ia sleeping in his tower in the Kyffhausson mountain in Thuringia, where bo is patiently wait? ing for the unification of the fatherland. Here be has long been sleeping, his chin resting on his bands, and his elbows on a marble table, and his long board grown through the stone. Ivory hundred years he awakes, and sends ont a raven to se? if Germany is united. "Whenever the raven shall come back with an affirmativ? reply BARBA? ROSSA will coma forth, and again be a father to tho German people. Yet, the skeptic of history, with his superior wisdom, comes and tells the good people, your good Emperor, with the red beard, is a humbug. "We are asked to believe that ALTBHD neyer burned the bannocks, nor ever entered the Danish cami? in minstrel's guise ; that the "Fair Rosa? mond" is a myth ; that Prince Hal was a milksop and Falstaff the jolly Knight, the baseless fabric of a vision ; that burly Harry Viii, was a very proper sort of husband, and Queen Anne Boleyn no better than she should be. Nay worse than all, Miss Bacon, a down-east young lady, gravely tells ns that it was not SHAKBPXABS. who wrote Shak speake, but that Lord BACON wrote Shakapeare ; and very lately a Missouri Judge, profound in his? torical research, comes forward in a book of dig? nified dimensions and first rate argument, endors? ing Miss Bacon's theory. Wo are told that CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS never made that egg stand on end, nor waa tb? first who discovered America; that Ls SAOB did not write Gil Blas, but stole the manuscript from a Spanish monk, and translated it into French; that Sir WAL? TER RALEIGH did not throw his cloak into the gut? ter; that ELIZABETH was not entitled to her virgin epitaph, and that MARX, Queen of Scots, was a model of chastity; that the first JAMES of England was a very wise monarch, and that OLIVES CROM? WELL, was a scoundrel and a hypocrite; that tho Emperor CHARLES V. was a very ordinary man, and WALLENSTEIN a mere adventurer; that BOBESPIERKS was a very pious and tender-hearted gentleman; that Marshal NET was not the last" of the Grand Army, and bad never said that be was; that NASO LE?N was a very bad man in his private character; that WILLIAM m. was a very pleasant gentleman, abd very popular with his subjects; that the Pre? tenders were not those heroes of romance we have always been led to believe, and that- proud CUM BEBLAND was not always prancing, insulting the slain; and that it is all a mistake about King GEORGE TIT, and the apple dumplings. ' LEONIDAS, they say, had three hundred and eighteen men' with bim at Thermopylae, instead of three hundred, as is tho current belief ; though some go farther, and maintain that there is no truth whaiovat in the whole story of the battle at this Pass. They barely concede that there is such a place as Thermopylae. So with Marathon ; though they eannot denytho existence of the lat? ter, for Lord BYRON, a disinterested witness, re? marks that the flold of Marathon was offered, him at the very reasonable price of four thousand pounds sterling. Archbishop WHATKLKT wrote an ingenious pam? phlet, proving with all the force of logic that there never existed such an individual as NAPOLEON BO? NA? ARTE. He did thia ry using the same class of arguments, relied on by deists and others for dis? proving, .the historic verity of the oxistence of CHRIST; and in thus calling into question the ex? istence of the greatest man then living, or but re? cently decoased, ho brought an analogical reduciio ad absurdum to bear upon their argument. . ? Hero, in America, we have not hitherto suffered much from these doubting attacks. On? reason, doubtless, is that our history ia but of yesterday; and legendary lore bas scarcely had sufficient time to become mdicsolubly blended with the sober facts of history. Moreover, the entire historical epoch of Am?ne* has been subsequent to the invention or printing, and tradition bas not been much de? pended on for records. But oven here the doubt? ing THOMAS has laid bia hand. The goodness wealth and grandeur of MOJTTBZUJIAS have been exploded. The beautiful tales of the poor Indiana, and their blissful existonoe under the gloomy can? opy of tho virgin forest, are all gone. /We ar? now only treated to Abe naked savage; and "In? dians not taxed" in publio bills and acts, ls now the only mention we have of the aborigine, save where we read of a great massacre In the West, md a general Indian bunt, in cons?quence, bytbe United States troops. We have heard the MayJUnoer, Plymouth Rock, ind tho Charter Oak all doubted; but wa indignant y reject such historical undermining. Tho bcau iful- story cf FLCBA MCDONALD, a Scotch lady, srho saved the Chevalier's lifo, and ended her days in North Carolina, is now onvolopod ?n a higlfland mist. Dut, woreo than all-greatest of heresies the Yankee?, havinjfeonquerod the South, aro now beginning to mako war upon hor past history; and, by way of commencement, they naturally attack the very corner-stone of Virginia-no leos than tho cxtstenco of POCAHONTAS. Captain SMITH, tho greatest of all the John Smiths, they say waa not a reliahlo gontlcman, and invented tho whole story of POWHATAN and POCAHONTAS. A Mr. CHA BLES CXAHI, a Massachusetts antiquary, in a rccont articlo in tho 2TorOi American Review, is guilty of this sacrilegious profanity. Of course, tho ontire press of tho North at onoe takes up tho cry, determined lo rob tho Old Dominion of the very firbt of hor F. F. Y.'s. Wo knew, when we first saw this announcement, that Mr. DEAN? would "catch it" from our Virginia friends. The Richmond Wliig, of tho 10th, in speaking of the sub'oct, fays : r-;,*.. . Such is Now England's envy and jealousy to- | wards tho South and all that is Southern, that sho cannot bear to contemplate anything thai stamps lustre upon our.'J'iBtory or adds to our influonco and prosperity. It would rob us, if it could, of all tho glories or" the past, strip us of present influ? ence and respectability, and degrade us into a mero Territorial doponden-y upon the Govern? ment. Those same writers will soon probably turn their attention to George Washington, and if they shall not be able to establish that no such man ever existed they will probably uudortake to prove that ho WOB of 1'ankoc birth and lineage. This is a very mild rebuke, and by no means, we tako it, the last word that will be said on this sub? ject. We have, of course,, nothing to say on so purely Virginian a theme. Our friends along tho Jamos are abundantly able to tako caro of them? selves, and of Pocahontas too. We.will now conclude our long catalogue of doubts by saying that we doubt nothing. Wo be? hove in tho she-wolf, King ALFBBD'S pancakes and the beautiful POCAHONTAS; and we are certain that children learned more of Greek and Roman his? tory in HERODOTUS, Lrvx, Roixn* and GOLDSMITH, than they have learned, or ever will leam, in Nra BUHB and ARNOLD, THIRL WALL and GBOTB. Tho old facts, or what were so considered, having been unsettled, what remains there' now to teach the inquiring young mind? What kind of mental training can jua erpect, when you tell a child that th* whole world is mistaken in observing Christ? mas on the 25th of December; that CUBIST was not born on that day, etc., and that it is ministering to superstition either to burn fire-crackers or eat mince-pie on that day ? Is it not better to let tho child lean on certainties ? Doubt and childhood, aa we have said, are incompatibles. Let bim be? lieve these things implicitly, and well for bini if, in after life, he is permitted to retain thc 7;Uh of his childhood. Doubt and error will cssert their sway soon enough; but it is best, when they do como, that the youth should bs clad in the panoply of faith, and thus not necessitate an instant on questioning surrender of the citadel.
