In Baltimoro last year there were ono hundred anil fifty-nine fires, involving a loss of $200,00?. Tho English Catholics have lately sent $40,000 to the Pope. Since the abolition of slavery the assessed valua? tion of property in Missouri has increased $05, 008,900. . A. St. Louis journal counts up 1369 houses built In that city during th? year 1886 at a total cost of $8,019,048. The round trip from the United States to the Paris Exhibition on tho Great Eastern, noxt sum? mer, will cost from $130 to $150 in gold. The Le ?islature*of Virginia has refused to re? peal the Usury Laws. Tho Whig deplores this ac? tion, ai<d oak"? what will become of poor old Vir? ginia. ; .. Col. BuHTO?f N. HAMUSON, formerly Private Scoretary to President DAVIS, has coaimonced the practice of law, at No. ll Pine street, Now York city. "Weak doses of washboard are now recommended to ladies who complain of dyspepsia. Young men troubled in tho same way may bo cured by a strong preparation of wood saw. The President's house has recently lwc-a re? painted, refitted, and improved. Some of the newspapers give elaborate accounts of tho now carpets, new curta.na, new papering, &c. Accounts from all quarters of the country, from Maine to Florida, and from the Atlantic to the Pa? v?a?, apeoK or tao seventy ol Ene weather, of ice and snow, and of impediments to travel and navi? gation, on the rivers and railroads. The export of productions of Canada from To? ronto last year amounted to $37,280,858, being nearly $2,000,000 more than in 1865. The export Of productions not of Canada waa $1,312,182, being considerably lees than the previous yoar. Mr. SBWAXD has written a letter to Minister Ko HEBo, in which he disavows the occupation of Mat amoraa, by General siurxjwicK, as being not only without authority from the Government of the United St-tes, but in violation of tho orders of his military superiors. Good resolutions were numerous in Boston on New Year's Day, and on the Saturday following the Five Cents Saving Bank in that city received $31,000 in deposits, which is said to be the largest amount ever taken in one day by any Savings Bank in the city. In Georgia the Superior Court of Chatham coun? ty has refused to admit to practice a colored man who is at present a member of the bar in Mame on the ground that "the lawa of Georgia do no< authorise or contemplate the admission of person ? of color to the bar." Th? Columbus Sun gives us the following "ne?< ? wrinkle" on .colored titles : "The negroes whe were free before the 'blessed proclamation' arc termed by the lately liberated ones the 'old issue. We heard a subject ef th? Civil Bights Bill speak? ing yesterday of having fotched over' one of the 'old issue' who had tried to impose on him." Vermont sent 22,968 ?attie, 197,013 she-p, and SSM swine to the Boston markets last week, out ol fha total numbers received there of 113,0S3 cattle, 400,546 sheep, and 158,498 swine. Boston gets more for her meat market from Vermont than from all th? other States combined, except the Western States. The attaches of the Memphis and St. Louie Packet Company kara mada up a puree of $136 for Wu, CAKAGO, formerly a mate on the river, who lost a leg while in the Confederate army. He has been a watchman on the wharf-boat at Memphis for som? tim?, and his friends made him the above present to enable him to go home. A violent assault has been made on the mana? gers of the Halifax City Railroad because of salt being sprinkled on the rails to keep them free from ice. Tho City Medical Officer says the effect ol the salt on the iron indices an evaporation condu? cive to scarlet fevor. Th? New Orleans Times thinks he must be speaking ironically. In tbs State Senate of Kentucky, on tho 17th, Mr. H?LM made a long speech in favor of a propo? sition to raise ten regiments of Kentucky infantry for the purpose of resisting all aggressions and to maintain the principles of State Bights. The ?peaker desired that the troops should at any time be subject to the ?all of the President of the United States. The Saginaw (Mich.) Daily Enterprise, of De? cember 20. gives a summary of the lumber and salt business of that region for 1866. The valley has turned out 361,168,884 feet of sawed lumber; 48,381,225 laths; 12,203,886 staves; 69,650,000 shin? gles; and 418,144 barrels salt. The lumber sawed in 18C5 was only 257,688,500 feat, showing an in? ore os? in 1866 of about 40 per cent. The salt made in 1865 was 428,515 barrels, but in 1864 was only 229,073. The Danville (Va.) limessays: "We learn that a freedman, living near Bice ville, Va-, had a quar? rel with his wife about a month ago, when ho de? liberately took his little son, aged ten years, and chopped his bead off with an axe 1 The body was their, thrown in tho woods as prey for wild beasts and th? fowls of the air, and the diabolical deed kept secret until a few days ago it was accidentally discovered. The hoad could not bo found. TuxonoBE TELTON lectured last week in Chicago. Being ad via jd in the afternoon that colored ladies of the highest respectability had been refused tickets, he . went in person to th? office and de? manded au explanation. The salesman referred him to Hr. CBOSBY, who assumed the responsibili? ty. Mr. Tn.TO ri appealed to the President of the Young Men's Association, who immediately issued complimentary tickets to the best reserved seats in th? house, which Mr. TELTON insisted upon per? sonally delivering to the ladies in question. The schooner Julia Ann, from Baltimoro for Boston, is supposed to have been los : in the re? cant gale, with all hands on board. Papers bo longing to her have been pistad up on Nantaaket boaoh. Captain HAEDLNQ, who commanded the Julia Ann, lea vas a family residing at Chatham, to which place the mate also belonged. The latter was s son of ISAIAH HAEMNG, aged 23 years, and unmarried. The names of the others, some eight or nine, are unknown. Th? vessel was valued at ?0,000. In the Now York Times of th? 18th, we find some interesting and significant statistics with reference to the commercial failures at the North for the past year, as well as for tho preceding years. In 1S62 the aggregate liabilities of those who tailed was, ia round numbers, $?3,000,000 ; in B68 the aggre? gate was $8,000,000 ; in 1864 it was $8,500,000; in 1865 it was $17,500,000, while in 1866 the aggregate was $47,000,000. It thus appears that the nggrcv gate of liabilities of thosa who failed in 1866 is nearly six times as great as in 1862. This isa frightful increase, and indicates that the termina? tion of th? war was but the commencement of financial troubles. The San Francisco Bulletin has received infor? mation from aomo, railroad surveyors, and gives tables of distances of th? routes hy the Central - and Union Pacific Boads from San Francisco to New York B?J Chicago and eta Denver and St. Louis. By the shortest route through Chicago, and omitting 300 miles dows the Humboldt River, it makes the distance 3040 miles. .Adding (he SOO miles the distance is 2340 : Jilea. From the com? mon intersection, the table adds 120 miles to Den? ver, making Jrom that point ufa Chicago the dis? tance of 1988 miles, and cia Denver 2141 miles. Should the junction be made at Salt Lake, the tobi* would be >n favor of the Denver and St, Louis route by ovor 309 miles, and would be much nore in favor of the direct roste were the junction mads at Sacramento City. A Toledo paper of January 7 says: "A week ?go last Friday night the engineer of the through freight train going west, on tho Air Line Railroad, when between Springfield and Centreville, discov? ered a daer upon the track, .running ahead of the train. Th? only motivo of the animal seemed to be to keep in advance of the locomotive, which he did for a long time, but finally oe tbs engine began to gain upon him, and his strength was failing, tho deer jumped from tho track''over * ditch, sud tried to ?cale a fence near by, but waSTeo much ex? hausted he failed in the attempt: The engineer checked his train and the'fireman leaped from it ?md caught the animal as he was again attempting Ito get over the fence. - He was placed in one of the .ara and taken to Elkhart, where he WM disposed pf, Thokve weight of th? doer was 126 lbs." .$10.00 B.OO . ?.so .3 couts .3 cents LARGEST CIRCULATION.-The DAILY NEWS publi?es the Oficial List of Let? ters remaining in the Postoffice at Hie end of each week, agreeably to thc following section of the Kew Postoficc Law, as the newspaper having the largest circulation in the City of Charleston: SECTIOS 0.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 23,1867. THE LESSONS OF 1800. In our previous articles on tho present system of labor wo discussed tho subject in its bearings upon tho freedmen. We showed that thcro is abundant room in this State for all her laborers; plenty of work and plenty of provisions also; and that it was our conviction that tho negroes will do bettor to re? main here, at or near their old homos, endeavor? ing to contribute their quota to tho restoration of tho country to something Uko its former prosperi? ty, than to go to Florida or Texas, under the im? pression that they will there improve their condi? tion; especially when they emigrate upon their own account or under government auspices, which is the same thing. Lost our colorod frionds should think that we have not their interests at heart, and only hold these views because we nood their labor, wo shall quote a witness, whose testimony will not bo con? sidered thus interested. In a recent number of tho New York Times, we find a lotter from its Colum? bia (S. C.) correspondent, dated January ll, giving an account of General HOWARD'S recent visit to that place. Ile saya : "Tbe General has for soveral davs been visiting our colored people, and ascer? taining from personal observation their mode ol living, habits and condition. Two ?T???o- -tr? ho wm riresontod to an immense crowd of negroes in the African Church, and made them a grand speech. His opinions aro regarded as quite tem? perate and conciliatory. . He advised against their going to other States, either westward or else? where, and took pains to explain to them the dis? advantages of moving under any circumstances, and the uncertainties attending these efforts to bettor their condition, by going to a soil of which they did not understand the nature or tho modes of cultivction. Ho urged thom to bo moral, in? dustrious and faithful to their contracts; to give all possible attention to educating their children, and in every way to elevate their social position as much as possible." These same views, adverse to tho emigration oi the freedmen, we have reason to believe are en? tertained also by General SCOTT, the Commissioner , of tho Freedman's Bureau for this State, and by i every other man of prominence and of candor, whe has had a fair opportunity of becoming acquainted ? with thc nature, habits, character and wants ol , the freedmen living amongst us. , Wo shall now dismiss this part of our subject : and address ourselves to a brief consideration o; i the several plans and systems of labor that wert tried during the two years just passed r Giving a specified pro raia share of the crops i in lieu of wages, soems to havo beeb tho custon: > most genorally in use throughout the South. Thu ' for the obvious reason that after the universa . ruin-precipitated upon the South by the sudder. i and disastrous close of a long and disastrous war-very few of the planters could command [ sufficient capital, after procuring the most neces '. sary provisions, seeds, implements, working ani? mals, etc., to warrant them in obligating them i selves to pay monthly wages in money to theil laborers. There was no other plan feasible at thc > time, and hence this was generally followed II waa so again in 1866, comparatively few only being i able to procure th2 necessary capital to pay regu? lar monthly wages. ' Some worked their force en masse, as formerly; others (also working upon shares) thought it bet 1 ter to separate the laborers in squads or families, setting apart a small farm, to be cultivated by each. The experience of planters varies according to tho circumstances of each individual case. As a goners! thing, we believe the plan of paying monthly wages in money has proved most satisfac ' tory. In some casos the "working on shares' may have proved satisfactory; but if so we have never yet hoard of them. If there were no othoi drawbacks in the latter plan, there would ever re? main the difficulty of keeping long and trouble? some accounts, and having a division of the crop at the end of tho year; which division, with such persons as the majority of negroes may bo sup? posed to be, will always involve more or less oi dispute. We may take it for granted, therefore, that, as far as the various experiments of hired negro labor have been fairly made, the plan ol paying wages must be considered as the one hav? ing given the most satisfactory results to all parties. There is, perhaps, moro money in the country now than there was a year ago, but not enough to allow of a general introduction of the system last named. Many of our fan jera will therefore again have to work on shares. They have the experience of two years, and shculd therefore now be able to profit by it. There is, of course, the same differ? ence among farmers as among the followers of any other calling. The same qualifications are requi? site for success,-industry, vigilance perseverance and economy. These he requires under all circum? stances. If he is to have authority ?ver others in his employment, he should have decision of char? acter, be forbearing and conciliatory in his inter? course with them, yet always assert a dignified self-respect. No rule can be given applicable to all cases, but as a general thing, we believe, it will be found best to "put in" no larger crop than can be readily cul? tivated with the force in hand, and to plant a smaller quantity of good or highly'manured land, rather than a large numbpr of actes of a poor and unproductive soil. - As between small fearon and large plantations wo,would give no advice; the for? mer suiting some and the latter others. Some men can govern largo kingdoms," others cannot rule their own households. Each -should, and doubtless will, pursue that course for which his ca? pacity and his means fit him, and which, we may say, nature has marked out for him. A few words in conclusion. Let all -our farmers and planters, and, indeed, all others who have oc? casion to employ negro labor,'ever bear in mind the new duties and obligations upon them, in con? sequence of the changed relation of the two races. Let them be kind, and just to punctiliousness in all their dealings with tho freedmen-tho more so on account of,tho ignorance of the latter. Lot each practically show, by his dealings with his subordi? nados, that by industry, good behavior, and a faith? ful compliance with their obligations, they will never fail to make a comfortable support, and at tho same time gain the esteem and good will of those whom they most desire should think well of them. '_', iNVESTMKrrrs-EVTLS ar. INACTION.-The New' York Journal of Commerce, while dedaring its in? ability to answer the questions of numerous cor? respondents as to the best investments for their surplus oapital, yet indulges some reflections and suggestions on tho subject which are valuable. There is nb method, it truly remerks, of placing any worldly substance beyond the reach of abso-. lute, loss, except in'giving it in worthy charities. All attempts to guard accumulated treasure from the risk of loss, while retaining a personal con? trol of it for futuro use, must fail, in the nature of things. The risk must be incurred, and no hu? man wit has found an investment that will hold tte treasure beyond contingency. Some invest? ments are safer than others, but even these can? not be classified in order with any approach to positive certainty. The general rule is true that the chances of loss ore fairly measured by the chances of profit. An investment which promises a large return places the capital sta proportionate risk, and the exceptions only prove Hie rule. There never was a time when business men-felt the burden of forecasting the future more op? pressively than at present. This is one secret of the increased mortality among prominent mer? chants and capitalists during the last year and both tho burden ?nd the uncertain ty increase as Choy strain their vision to penetrate-, if possible the unknown future We do not recommend, however, a period of in? action, because of this uncertainty; He that ob servoth tb* clouds shall not sow, and fie that re gardeth tb- winds shall not reap. Activity, with some apparent loss, is better than utter, stasrna tion; not only better for the community generally, but also better for tho individual trader or .work? man, whoso returns ; may seem to leave a balance on the wrong sido of the account.. As a mamrrac turing eetabUshment; snfStrs toss by Tunning Rt loss than cost, than by an actual stoppago which leaves the machinery to rust and tho laborers to scatter, eo it is with individual enterprise. Sus? pension brings tho rust of inaction on all tho ma? chinery of business, and d spinates the forces which must bo kept logothor if success is to bo gained in tho futuio. Every man has done his duty when he works at his best, and results may thon bo safely loft to tho direction of an overruling Pro idonco. Tho season for activity has como; lot all mon do resolutely what comes most plainly to their | hand, and hopo forftho best. This is not only ob? vious wisdom, but tho cloarcst requirement of duty. _ . WANTS. ANTED, A SITUATION AS COOK, BT A colored man who lias bad much experience, and can give satisfaction.
