In Baltimore last year there were one hundred and fifty-nine fires, involving a loss of $200.005. The English Catholics have* lately sent $40,C00 to the Pope. Since the abolition of slavery the assessed valua? tion of property in Missouri has iucroasod $65, O00.MO. A St. Louis journal counts up 1369 houses built in that city during the year 18C6 nt a total cost of $8.049,048. The round trip from the United States to the Paris Exhibition on the Great Eastern, next sum - mer, will cost from $180 to $150 in gold. The Legislature of Virginia has refused to re? peal the Usury Laws. The Whig deplores this ac? tion, and ask* what will become of poor old Vir? ginia. CoL BVKTQS N. HAM-SON, formerly Private Secretary to President DAVIS, has commenced the practice of law, at No. ll Pine street, New York arty. Weak doses of washboard are now recommended to ladies who complain of dyspepsia. Young men troubled in tho same way may he cured by a strong preparation of wood saw. ' The President's house has recer tly been re? painted, refitted^ and improved. Som? of the newspapers give elaborate accounts of the new carpets, new curtains, new papering, &c. Accounts from all quarters of the country, from Maine to Florida, and from the Atlantic to the Pa? cific, speak of the severity of the weather, of ice and snow, and of impediments to travel and navi? gation, on the rivers and -ailroads. Tho export of productions of Canada from To? ronto last year amounted to $37,280,808, being nearly $3,000,000 moro than in 1865. The export of productions not of Canada was $1,312,182, being consideruhly less than the previous year. Mr. SawA_O ?as written a letter to Minister Ro MSBO, in which he diBavows the occupation of Mat amoras, hy General SEDGWICK, ai being not only without authority from the Government of the United St:?tes, hut in violation of the 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 $81,000 in deposits, which is said to be the largest amount ever taken in one day by any Savings Bank in tnt. city. lu 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 har m Mame, on the ground that "the laws of Georgia do not authorize or contemplate the admission of persons rf color to the har." Th* Columbus Sun gives us the following "new vmnkle" on colored titles: "The negroes who were free before the 'blessed proclamation' are termed by the lately liberated ones the 'old issue.' "We heard a Bubj?ctef the Civil Rights Bill speak? ing yesterday of having 'fotohed over* one of the 'old issue' who had tried to impose on him." Vermont sent 22,968 cattle, 197,013 she:-p, and 9660 swine to the Boston markets last week, ont of til* total numbers received there of 118,083 cattle, 400,546. sheep, and 1-8,498 swine. Boston gets more for her meat market from Vermont than from all the other States combined, except the Western States. Tk? attaches of the Memphis and St. Louis Packet Company have made up a purse of $136 for WK. OAI?AOO, formerly a mate on the river, who lost a leg while in the Confederate army. Ho has been a watchman on the whari-boat at Memphis for some time, and his friends made bim the above present to enable him to go home. A violent assault has been made on the mana? gers of th? Halifax City Railroad because of salt being sprinkled on the rails to keep them free from io?. The City Medical Officer Bays the effect of the salt on the iron induces an evaporation condu? cir? tb scarlet fever. The New Orleans Times thinks he must be speaking ironically. In the State Senate of Kentucky, on the 17th, Mr. Hux-i 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 Rights. Thc speaker desired that the troops should at any time be subject to tho eal! ef the President of the United States. The Saginaw (Mich.) Daily Enterprise, of De eember 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; 43,381,225 laths; 12,203,886 staves; 69,650,000 shin? gles; and^?16,144 barrels salt. The lumber sawed Lu 1865 was only 257,688,500 feet, showing an ul? erease in 1866 of about 40 per cent. Th? salt made in 1865 was 428,515 barrels, but in 1864 was only 229,073. The Danville (Va.) Times says: "We learn that a freedman, living near Riceville, Va., had a quar? rel with his wife about a month ago, when he de? liberately took bis little son, aged ten years, and ohopped his head off with an axe ! The body was then thrown in the woods as prey for wild beasts. and the fowls of the air, and the diabolical deed kept secret until a few days ago it was accidentally discovered. The head could not be found. TzotoDOBS TCCTON lectured last week in Chicago. Being advis.d in the afternoon that colored ladies of the highest respectability had been refused tickets, he went in person to the office and de? manded an explanation. The salesman referred him to Mr. CSOEBT, who assumed the responsibili? ty. Mr. TTXTON appealed to the President of the Young Men's Association, who immediately issued complimentary tickets to the best reserved seats In the house, which Mr. TTLTON insisted upon per? sonally delivering to the ladies in question. The schooner Julia Ann, from Baltimoro for Boston, is supposed io hare been los. in tho re? cant galo, with all hands on board. Papers be? longing to her have been picked np on Nantasket beach. Captain HAEMNO, who commanded the Julia Ann, leaves a family residing at Chatham, to which place the mate also belonged. The latter was a son of ISAIAH HAXDINQ, aged 23 years, and surnamed. The narnu* of the others, some eight or nine, are unknown. The Teasel was valued at ?10,000. In the Now York Tt'm&i of the 18th, we find some in er? s ting and significant statistics with reference to the commercial failures at the North for the past ye ir, as well as for the preceding years. In 1862 thw aggregate liabilities of those who failed was ia round numbers, $.3,000,000 ; in 1863 the aggro gate was $8,000,000 ; in 1864 it WEB $8,500,000 ; in 1865 it was $17,500,000, while in 1866 tho aggregate was $47,000,000. It thus appears that the aggre gate of liabilities of those who failed in 1866 is nearly six times as great as in 1862. This is a frightful increase, and indicates that tho termina? tion of the war was but the" commencement of financial troubles. The San Francisco BuUetin has received infor? mation from eome railroad surveyors, and giveB tables of distances of the routes by tho Central and Union Pacifie Roads from San Francisco to Kew York via Chicago and ria Denver and St, Louis. By the shorte?t route through Chicago and omitting 300 miles dow? the Humboldt River.' lt makes the distance 3040 miles. Adding the 300 miles the distance is 8340 miles. From the com? mon intersection, the table adds 12b miles to Den rer, making from that point o?a Chicago the dis? tance of 1988 miles, and via Denver 2141 miles. ?horJd the junction be made at Salt Lake, the table would be in favor of the Denver and St Louis route by over 30? miles, and would be much acre in favor of the direct route were the junction -tad* at Sacramento City. A Toledo paper of January 7 says : "A week igo last Friday night the engineer of the through reight train going west, on the Air Line Railroad, rhen between Springfield and Centreville, discov red ad*er upon the track, running ahead of tho rain. The only motive of tho animal seemed to . to keep in advance of the locomotive, which he ld for a long time, but finally as the engine bogan ) gain upon hiin, and his strength was failing, as deer jumped from the track overa ditch, and ried to scale a fence near by, but was so much ex austed he failed in the attempt. The engineer aecked his fruin and the fireman leaped from it ad caught the animal as ho was again attempting > get over the fence. He was placed in one of tho ?rs and taken to Elkhart, whero he was disposed f. The Kve weight of the door was 12? lbs." Y al rc st si T ai lu A th tn th m th m< nc pc th ch al ri?

Iii our previous articles on the present system of labor wo discussed the subject in its bearings upon the freedmen. We showed that there 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 thc negroes will do better to re? main here, at or near their old homes, endeavor? ing to contribute their quota to tho restoration of the country to something Uko its former prosperi ty, than to go to Florida or Texas, undor 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 samo thing. Lest our colored friends should think that wo have not their interests at heart, and only hold these views because we need thoir labor, we shall quote a witness, whose testimony will not be con? sidered thus interested. In a recent number of the New York Times, we fiud a lettor from its Colum? bia (S. C.) correspondent, dated January ll, giving an account of General HOWARD'S recent visit to that place. He says : "The General has for several days been visiting our colored people, and ascer? taining from personal observation their mode of hving,?habite aud condition. Two evenings ago ho was presented to an immense crowd of negroes in tho African Church, and made them a grand speech. His opinions are rogarded as quite tem? perate and cc .ciliatory. He advised against their going to other States, either westward or else? where, and took painB to explain to them the dis? advantages of moving under any circumstances, and the uncertainties attending these efforts to better their condition* by going to a soil of which they did not understand the nature or the modes of cultivation. He urged thom to be 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 of the freedmen, we have reason to believe are en? tertained also by General SCOTT, the Commissioner of the Freedman's Bureau for this State, and by every other man of prominence and of candor, who has had a fair opportunity of becoming acquainted with tho nature, habits, character and wants of tho freedmen living amongst us. Wo shall now dismiss this part of our subject, and address ourselves to a brief consideration of the several plans and systems of labor that were tried during the two years just passed. Giving, a specified pro rata share of the crops, in lieu of wages, seems to have beon tho custom most generally in use throughout the South. This for the obvious reason that after the universal ruin-precipitated upon the South by the Budden and disastrous close of a long and disastrous war-very fow of tho planters could command sufficient capital, after procuring the most neces? sary provisions, seeds, implements, working ani? mals, etc., to warrant them in obligating them? selves to pay monthly wages in money to their laborers. Thero was no other plan feasible at the time, and hence thiB was generally followed. It was so again in 1866, comparatively few only being able to procure tho necessary capital to pay regu? lar monthly wages. Some worked their force en masse, as formerly; others (also working upon sharos) thought it bet? ter to separate the laborers in Bqnads or families, setting apart a email farm, to bo cultivated by each. The experience of planters varies according to the circumstances of each individual case. As a general thing, wo bolievo the plan of paying monthly wages in money has proved most satisfac? tory. In some cases the "working on shares" may havo proved satisfactory; but if so wo havo never yet heard of thom. II thero wore no other drawbacks in the latter plan, th?re would ever re? main tho difficulty of keeping long and trouble? some accounts, and having a division of the crop at the end of the year; which division, with such persons as tho majority of negroes may bo sup? posed to be, will always involve more or less of dispute. We may take it for granted, theroforo, that, as far as the various experiments of hired negro labor have been fairly made, the plan of paying wages must bo considered as the one hav? ing given tho most satisfactory results to all parties. There is, perhaps, moro money in tho country low than there was a year ago, but not enough to illow of a general introduction of tho system last lamed. Many of our faruers will therefore again lave to work on shares. They have tho experience if two yoars, and should therefore now be able to >rofit by it, Thero is, of course, tho same diffor ?nce among farmers as among tho followers of any ithcr calling. The samo qualifications are roqui ite for success,-industry, "vigilance, perseverance jid economy. These ho requires under all circum tances. If he ie to havo authority over others in ds employment, ho should have decision of char ctor, bo forbearing and conciliatory in bis inter ourse with them, yet always assert a dignified elf-respect. No rule can be given applicable to all cases, but s a general thing, we believe, it will be found best o "put in" no largor crop than can bo readily cul [vated with the force in haud, and to plant a maller quantity of good or highly manured land, ither than a largo number of acios of a poor and nproductive soil. As betwoon small farms and irgo plantations we would give no adrice; tho for lor suiting som?~and the latter others. Somo ?en can govern large kingdoms, others cannot nie thoir own households. Each should, and oubtlcss will,pursuo that course for which his ca acity and Iiis means fit hun, and which, wo may iy, nature has marked out for him. A few words in conclusion. Let all our fanners nd planters, and, indeed, all others who have oc ision to employ negro labor, ever bear in mind ie now duties and obligations upon thom, iu con iquence of tho changed rolation of the two races, .et them behind, and just to punctiliousness in all mir dealings with the freedmen-thc moro so on icount of tho ignorauco of tho lattor. Let each tactically show, by Ids dealings with his subordi ates, thafby industry, good behavior, and a faith d compliance with their obligations, thoy will aver fail to make a comfortable support, and at ie same time gain tho esteem and good will of lose whom they most desire should think well of iem. INVESTMENTS-EVILS OP INACTION.-Tho Now ark Journal of Commerce, while declaring its in lility to answer the questions of numerous cor ispondonts aa to tho best investments for thoir ?plus capital, yet indulges' some reflections aud lggestiona on tho subject which aro valuable, here is no method, it truly remarks, of placing iy worldly substance beyond the reach of abso teloss, excoptin giving it in worthy charities. I attempts to guard accumulated treaauro from e risk of IOSB, while retaining a personal con? tri of it for future use, must fail, in tho nature of inga. . The risk must bo incurred, and no hu an wit has found an investment that will hold o treasure beyond contingency. Some invost 3nts are safer than othcrB, but oven these can it be classified in order with any approach to isitive certainty. The general rulo is true that o chancos of loss are fairly measured by the | s: anees of profit. An investment which promises arge return places the capital at a proportionate ik, and the exceptions only provo tho rulo, ?ere never was a time when business men felt ( a burden of forecasting tho future more op- w aesively than at present. This ie one secret of la 3 increased mortality among prominent mer- - ants and capitaliste during the last year, and th tho burden and tho uncertainty increase SB ^ iy strain their vision to penetrate, if possible, da ? unknown future. l? Ve do not recommend, however, a period of iu ion, becauso of this uncertainty. Ho that ob veth tho clouds shall not sow, and ho that rc .deth tho winda shall not reap. Activity, with ao apparent loss, ie better than utter stagna- 3 i; not only better for the community generally, tb also bettor for tho individual trador or work- ?l> ti, whoso returns may seem to leave a balance tho wrong sido of the account. Aaa manufac inr establishment suffers lose by running at less than cost, than by an actual stoppage which loavcB tho machinery to rust and tho laborora to scatter, so it is with individual enterprise Sus? pension bringa tho rust of inaction on all tho ma? chinery of business, and d ssipatos tho forces which must bo kept together if success is to be gainod in tho futui o. Evory man has done his duty when ho works at his best, and results may then bo safely left to tho direction of an overruling Pro idenco. The season for activity has come; lot all men do resolutely what comes most plainly to their hand, and hope forjtho best. This is not only ob? vious, wisdom, but tho clearest requirement of duty.
