JOKSSOW has been admittod to the bar of the Supreme Court of tho United SUte?, under the new rule rescinding tho test oath. A letter from some foreign official states that tho Empress CJJBLOTTA is at Miramax, "among hoi flowers, sparkling in all the brilliancy of full health." The newly born child of the Infanta MABU OHBjsnSA DB BotmiJON has been baptized at Ma? drid. The babe got twenty-seven names-the first being ALPHONSO, and tho last TODOS LOS SANTOS (all the Saints). Messages are transmitted by telegraph betweon London and India in twenty-one hours. Many perplexing uncertainties and blunders are occa? sioned by the translators. Tho messages have to pass through seven diff?rent countries. Fifteen young ladies and gentlemen were poison? ed on Christmas night, at Stephenson, Ky., by eatr ing cake, in which too much cochineal vi as used. All Buffered excruciatingly, and aovcral are still in a very critical condition. It is estunat? d that to furnish timber sufficient to conatruot a single seventy-four gunship requires _he matured crop of forty-four acres of wood lan?, or 5U0O full-grown trees. Tho liquor dealers of Lo coma, N. H., havo agreed to abandon the traffic, and sell for nothing but medicinal and mechanical purposes, and thc hotels only to actual travelling guests, keeping no open bars. New York street corners, are now adorned by glass pavilions, the panes of which are moveable, and boar the cards of advertisers. Ono pane costs $70 per year. The idea is borrowed from Paris, where $300.000 in gold per year is realized by s similar enterprise. The stratford House, in Westmoreland county, Ta., with 2500 acres of land, the colonial home? steads of the LEB family and the birth-place ol General ROBBST E. LEE, has been recently pur? chased by the Southern Orphan Association. The population of New York State by tho nev census is 3,827,813, an - increase of S61.GG2 fron' 1835, which is almost whojly^rin .the commercia and- manufacturing' districts, the agricultura! counties remaining- nearly stationary, and seven ol them showing au actual diminution. A general advance has taken place in the wagei of agricultural laborers in the Newmarket district In England. In the parish of Wodditton, on tht ?state of the Duke of RUTLAND, some cottages fitted with every domestic convenience, have beet ?rec ted. Gambling continues to increase in Paris, anc recently heavy losses and gains are the subject o; much conversation.

Ina snow drift at Pittsfield, the other day, s hag of netting was found filled with moss and hair. A local paper adds : "The bundle has been identified,- and proves to be a lady's waterfall. How it became dstached from the wearer is un? known, but the conjecture is that the owner was caught in the storm, and was obliged to throw overboard hor ballast in order to make headway." The San francisco Times says: "Quite a orowd of people were collected in front e the Bank ol California yesterday, watching the struggle of a powerful team of horses in their attempts to move a wagon load of silver bricks. The load was so heavy that the wheels sunk into the cobb o stones nearly to the hnbs. After a long struggle, and the assistance of several of the bystanders, the team started tho load, which consisted of about one hun? dred large silver bricks from the State of Nevada." Everywhere at the North the storm has been severe, and the trains delayed In New England several were completely snowed up, and at Boston the snow drifts were in some places piled up ten feet deep. In Now York tho cars on some of tho street railroads were entirely suspended, and in one in&tanoe, on tho river, a ferry boat was secure? ly locked in an ice gorge for a long time, and was helplessly floated up in the flood tide, being in im zainent peril of being cut through. Spain's future policy with regard to Chili and her allies is said to be ?o carry on the war against them by sending to tho Pacific a fleet s rong .nough to blockade all their porta and starve them into submission. Spain is endeavoring to conclude treaties with the adjacent countries, in which the latter will prevent the transportation through their territories of any article contraband of war intend? ed for Chili or hor allies. Chili and Pern have equipped a fleet to operate against Spain, tho ves? sels of which aro now reported to be in the neigh? borhood of Cape Horn. The Milwaukee Newt has an elaborate article on the wheat trade of that city, which, it seems, has been considerably larger daring the last year than H was in 1865, although the wheat crop of Wiscon? sin wau partially a failure last season. Tho wheat receipts of Milwaukee for 1866 amounted to 12,644, 448 bushels, while these of Chicago daring the same time were but 11,950,991 bushels, a difference in favor of Milwaukee of 713,457 bushels. Mil? waukee may, therefore, still continue to make ber boast that she ia the largest primary wheat depot in the world. . The Eselchacht Mine at Kuttenburg, in Bohe? mia, now inaccessible, is tho deepest mine in the world, being 3778 feet below the surface. Its depth is only 150 feet less than the height of Mount Yean vitia, and it is eight times greater than the height of the pyramid of Cheops. The boro of the salt works of Minden, in Prussia, is 2231 feet deep, and 1993 feet below the lovel of the sea. The mine of Valenciana, in Mexico, is 1686 feet deep, and yet it is 5960 feet above the level of tho KM. The Tresavean copper mine, in England, is 3112 feet in depth, and 1700 feet below tho sea level. It is noticed thal Germans have settled in almost .very part of the world Besides being found in all parta of Europe, and farming a large and vaina, bis portion of the population of every State of tho Union, a large German society is flourishing in Hong Kong, in China; and Rio de Janeiro, in Bra Mil, has a Topma?on of 50,000 Germans.

TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 22, 1867. THE! FREEDMAN OW HIS TRAVELS. There was no BurpluB of labor hero before the war, nor is thoro now. Scarcity of pi ovisiens and a want of capital have somewhat restricted plant? ing operations in somo of tho uppsr and middle Districts of tho State, but any temporal y surplus of labor from those quartors could readily find em pljyruont in adjoi.- ing Districts, or on tho sea? board. The freedmen could thus secuioahomo and a livcihood, without leaving tho country. The most serious step in life a man can take, especially a poor and ignorant mau, is to omigrato ; to leave his native soil, and cost loose from all his friends and kindred. Evon under tho^nost unfavorable conditions, a man has ? better prospect of counsel and assistance from those he knows than from uttor strangers. The freedmen know our soil, our climate, our people. Horo they were born, enjoyed tho fruits of the earth, increased and mul? tiplied, ?nd, until told that they ought to be un? happy, they were wont to take life very oasy. Here they have their churches and their school? houses, buroau and savings bank, plenty of work, and a fair amount of wages. What more can they possibly desire ? But thoy havo listened to the voice of the obarra er. They have boen told that on going to Elorida thoy wlU each and all become landed proprietors; that the Government will give them each a farm of 80 acres. We do not know whether there is any truth in this or not. But supposing it true, of what advantago will said 80 acres of land bo to nin, tonths of the negroes who emigrate ? They go without money, without utensils of any kind, without a day's provisions, with very inadequate clothing, without a knowledge of tho country to which thoy aro going; in fact, they ha-.e no fixed destination and no settled plan of operations. The whole sad picture proves that tho movo is the con? sequence of outside influence,-thoy have been .'over-persuaded." We have . conversed with a number of these emigrants,-somo of thom ne? groes wo had known for years,-and fonnd, from the hallucinations under which they labored, that they had been tampored with. They expect to live , on venison and wild turkey, groen turtle and Flori? da snapper, with oranges, bananas and cocoa-nuts for dessert. Some of our interlocutors wore women, delicate of constitution, who had been doing house? work all their lives. Wo asked thom how thoy ex | nected to get along in Florida; "Oh, we shall stop I in somo of the villages." j Now what will be the inovitablo consequence of . such a reckless, unwise system of colonization ? We have seen it hinted that large numbers would be kidnapped and deported to Cuba ; but we do j not entertain such suspicion. A large number of these poor, ignorant, deluded creatures must ' inevitably perish, and the remainder become rovers and vagrants through the peninsula, a pest I to the community, worthless themselves, and de I moralizing tho negroes to tho manor born ; and ere many years the United States troops will hunt through the everglades for outlaw negroes, as they did, for so many years, for the last of the Seminoles ; and the future CAMPBELL, will sing : ?'Lo, the poor negro I" During th* progress of the war tho influence of I the United States Army and Nary was exercised everywhere, to induce the colored people to leave their masters and their homes. The freed? men were congregated in large "villages" and fed ) from tlie public crib ; and what has been the in? variable result ? idleness, vice, starvation, sickness i and death. But a few weeks since we read the j most heart-rending appeals for succor, in the ( Washington papers, in behalf of the unfortunate j freedmen huddled together at Arlington. Wo t thought that the Government had experimented , enou?h in freedmen's colonies tn in? n.t. -? ?wt ?Lo ??1 tvj an amelioration of either k the moral or material condition of the race. As f we said before, we know nothing definite of the present colonization scheme. We knew not j whether it has been inaugurated by interested , parties for purposes of gain, or whether it is a \ blind inconsiderate philanthropy that is thus drawing hundreds to inevitable destruction. But wilt tever tho motive, the result will be the same. ? We know there are many who differ with us on this subject, and say "Let them go; we are better without them." This is not our opinion. True, wo cannot hinder their going; but we can at least tell them what wo think about the matter. Some Bay, thero havo always been too many negroes herc, and a little thinning out will be serviceable. We do not think there ever were too many here; and even by Gen. HOWARD'S showing, there are . now some 80,000 less than there were five voars ugo; and as to the thinning out, we always lose by euch operation, as in most instances the best go, and the most worthless remain. Lei planters and farmers exert themselves, and set the subject properly before the negroes; rea? son with them, and offer them fair terms for the ensuing year, and we have no doubt that in many '. cases it will havo a salutary effect. Tho New York Nation, a Radical weekly journal published in New York, in an article oa the proposed impeachment of the President, Bays: Whether the impeachment will really be carried through the House and brought before the Senate it is still difficult to say. Public opin.on, in every way in which it has as yet been tested, seems as wo have always anticipated it would be, decidedly against it. But a long article in the New York Times, and which is evidently from Mr. Raymond's hand, predicts very confidently that the trial will come off, inasmuch as the Radical leaders will proas it, and the more moderate mon, who in their hearts disapprove of it, will bo driven inti support? ing it, as they have so many other things, by an unsparing application of the party whip. "For our own port, we1 aro still satisfied that unless there is in somebody's possession ovidence of worse offences than Mr. Johnson is now known to have committed, his impeachment, whether it succeed or fail, will prove a great and lasting calamity. It mil convulse tho country at present, and introduce j new element of disorder in our politics in the fuiTiro. The idea expressed, as originating with Mr. RAYMOND, that the moderate men in Congres? will be forced into supporting tho Radical measures, because they oannot withstand the party whip, is not new to us. Quite a year ago we expressed the tame opinion, and since then have continued to do so in various shapes. Ve do not think that any politician in tho North, who desires political power, can take a moderate course. Mr. RAYMOND had to crawl back to Radicalism at the sacrifice of personal honor and self-respect. Mr. SEWARD ic lost in tko great political sea-left behind to group along as best he can, because he did not sail with the wind. So is GRBBLBY. SO, indeed, are all those who have attempted to run against the raging current of Radicalism. The man in the North that makes the most furious har? angue is the popular idol. What will become of the country, God only knows. AN APPEAL, or GREEK WOMEN TO THE WOMEN OF AHEBICA-An appeal, signed by the wemen of the Greek Island of Byra, to the ladies of this country, has been received asking help for the refugees from Crete. The appeal closes thus: In the island of Byra, inhabited by the victims that escaped the disasters of our holy struggle in 1821, aa well as sn other parts of Greece, thou? sands of tho Cretan families have taken refuge betr ginir for food and clothes and an asylum. We have opened our houses to thom and our arms, and nave tone all in our power to provide them some comforts. But, nevertheless, scarcely yet conntine thirty-six years of political life, and having hal our houses and cities to build, we have not suffi? cient resources to render effectual aid to such of our brothers as have sought an asylum In Greece. Hence our duty towards our unfortunate compa? triots compels us .to implore your assistance and. we aro convinced, when we recall the assistance whioh your compatriots afforded os in 1821. that our voice will be heard by the noble-hearted ladies of the United States, and that von will hold ont a sucoonng hand to our brothers, exiled from their country and jue prey of unmerited misfortunes.
