DAVIS are being made in Mississippi. Claiborne County subscribes 1684; Karshall *200; Rankin, $100; andHindB $67. One factory in Augusta, Ga., has turned out, du lins tho last year, 6.410,000 yards of cloth, and paid ? dividend or clear profit of $611,000 to the stockholders. During eight months of last year, steam engines to th? value of $5,082.925, in gold, wero exported from Groat Britain to foreign countries, chiefly Busala, India, and Egypt. Tho members of the Maine Legislature have roted themselves a copy each of WEBSTER una? bridged, LnprjTOOTT's Gazetteer and the Bible, and $10 worth of postag? stamps for each member. It is said that there are bricks in the Mosque of St. OMAB that retain as fully the scent of the musk with which they were originally impregnated as on the day the mason set them in the wall. Within a period of less than forty jeare npwarda of 51,000 miles of steam railroads hw a been con? structed in the United States, at an aggregate cost of $1,602,564,000. Among the objects to be shown at tho Universal Exhibition is the magnificent skeleton of a snake found in the Pardo mountains. It comprises no fewer than 1045 rings, perfectly arranged in a spi? ral form. Tho Virginia House of Delegates rejected, on the 19th, the Senate Bill increasing the legal rate of interest to ten psr cent. This action leaves the present usury law still in force, the rate being six par cent. Baron SOLOMON VOX ROTHSCHILD has obtained a decree from the Senate of Frankfort by virtue of which he, his three sons and one daughter, cease y, to be citizens of Frankfort, and are, therefore, no x longer Prussian subjects. T Ii.haa been decided by the trustees of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, to pay the outstanding debt of the society. Tho inoome of the ohurohfor the en _ suing year is $50,000. It has boen determined to appropriate $10,000 for the establishment of a mis? sion school. Th? price of pork oughi io recede, for the West? ern hog supply of the present season, down to January 12th, is announced to be 551,523 hogs shipped, packed and butchered, as compared with 453,457 for the xvme period last year-an increase of nearly 100,000 hogs. A bust of Lord MACAULAY has, with ths permis? sion of the Doon and Chapter, been placed in West? minster Abbey by his sister, Lady TREVELYAN. It rests upon a handsome brackot, designed by Mr. SCOTT, in the immediate neighborhood of the grave and of ADDISON'S statue, in Poet's Corner. Tho receipts of the New York Tribune for 1865 wore $816,537, and for 1866 $909,418. The expenses for 1865 were $646,107, and for 1866 ?882..908. Tho former year gave a net profit of $170,430, and the latter one of $26,510. Nothing having been charg? ed for rent, the profits of last year have really amounted to very little. Th? Thibodaux CL a.) Sentinel says rolling in Lafourcho has been completed to the satisfaction of the" planters ofthat parish. Thc new sugar is said to be excellent. Th? average of the crop was 1500 pounds to the acre. Severar plantations bad began their preparations for this year much eix lier than usual. Via San Francisco we ha va reported the arrival of President JCABXZ at Durango, the serious la? isse of s French column 1000 strong, th? presence of a number of American officers with JUABSZ, AC. CORONA, who commands 3000 men, and is the suc? cessful occupant of Mazatlan and Guadalajara, has rebelled against th? authority of JUABEZ. Tho Honolulu Advertiser says: "Thore is no uso denying that we are practically a colony of Amori e&, and our trade is and will be almost wholly with her as tho mother country, if rightly directed and fostered by treaty stipulations. Not only will our . islands gain by it, bnt the- United States will de? rive a large benefit in the increased trade with this group. Aberdeen, Scotland, is one of the greatest enve? lop manufacturing cities in the world. Tho extent of the Aberdeen paper trade may bo gathered from tho fsot that there are fiv? paper mills within fif? teen miles of the city, whereat no fewer than two thousand fire hundred parsons find employment. Th? Commissioner of Agriculture is in receipt of a large quantity of Spring Wheat from Odoaua, Russia, which is designed for distribution among agriculturists. He has also received numerous varieties of apple and pear trees from the eame placo, to be used in the experimental garden of the Department. A new gold field of great extent has been dis covered in the Weddin Mountains, Australia, about two hundred and eighty miles from Sydney., which the Government officials state will give employ? ment to a large number of persons for three or four years. The sinking is about fifty feet through hard soil, and the holes bottomed aro yielding an average of five grains per dish. Fire miles south of McMinnoville, Tenn., a well, whioh was sunk by the Union Oil Company, is pio daoing salt water in abundance. They have been testing the water, and say that the quality is first rate, and think the stream inexhaustible. The salt is of a superior quality. They aro making preparations .to ?xtend their operations pretty largely.. Th? Eastport (Me.) Sentinel Bays that an exten? siv? business has boen done this winter by the fishermen in the waters in that vicinity in catch? ing herrings with set nets, freezing them and sell isg them to parties who are there with vessels for the purpose of purchasing thom. The price paid is sixiy-fiv? cents per hundred fish. The fisher men make good wages. In Russia, not long ago, whiTe the people of a eertain parish had assembled in the church, the building was surrounded by troops, and a priest of the Greek Church was brought in with a cup in bis hand. Ho went from one to another and ad? ministered the communion. If any one shut his lips and refused to re?oive the sacrament, the soldier who accompanied the priest opened thc month of the refractory peasant with his bayonet. Says a reoont issue of th? Minneapolis (Minn.) Chronicle: "Mr. BYFIELD, a merohant of this city, hos returned from an extended trip OD tho frontier, whore he has purchased several thousand dollars worth of furs. We learn from him, that sine? the memory of man, fur has never be?n so plenty as this year. The absence of the Indians has made the hunting fields of Minnesota bloom with animals whose polts are gold mines for the trappers. Mr. BxrrzLDsays double the quantity of fur is taken, up to this time, over any previous year in the State." An exchange says that the Lowell (Mass.) cor? porations, whose united capital amounts to $18,000,000, employ the immense number of 403,708 spindles. Of the operatives employed 8218 arc women, and 43? are men. The numbor of looms employed ia 11,358, and 1,906,500 yards of goods of avery kind are manufactured every week. Tho mills consume G04.000 pounds of ol ton and 100,000 pounds of clean wool every week, or at the rate of more than 31,000,000 pounds of cotton and 6,000 OOO pounds of wool per annum. An interesting habeas corpus case, under the Maryland Apprenticeship Law, was before tho Su? preme Court of the District of Columbia on the 14th inst. Two colored boys, who had escaped from their former master in Montgomery County, Maryland, were the parlies applicant. After a hearing, the Court ordered them to ba returned to their old master, on the ground of evidence that they had been, under thc Maryland statute, ap? prenticed after their emancipation. The counsel for the children's relatives ploaded ill treatment by the master, and that their mother had died from neglect and hungor in the woods. After tho de? cision of the Court, an appeal was taken, but be? fore it could b? had, the master departed with the children.

THXTRSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 24,1867. Omi BANKING FACILITIES.-We very often hoar complaints respecting tho bank facilities of the citv. Thoso who complain aro doubtless not aware that tho actual capital which tho present banks are using is very Bmall, and that they are not able to grant the accommodations which wcro usual before the war, when Charleston had four? teen or fifteen millions of banking capital. Wo arc pleased to learn, however, that arrange? ments have been made by the First National Bank to increaso its capital stock, and that those who desire can purchaso stock by applying to tho President of tho Bank, any time beforo tho first of Februarv. From all wo know, no better invest? ment could bo made, as tho bank has declared splendid dividends ; and it is most probable that, with an increased capital, ifc would pay ita stock? holders a very admirable interest upon their in? vestments. v^mm^mwmmm^^-m THE TROUBLES KHAR. SAVANNAH. We deeply regret the difficulty that has arisen on Back River, in Beaufort District, in this State, opposite Savannah, between the negroes and the U. S. troops. Thflse freedmen were unwilling to yield peaceable possession of aplautation (known as the Delta plantation) to tho rightful ownor. They claimed a right to tho land, not because they had "any title or had given any consideration for the same, but because ono Alpoora Bradley, ? colored lawyer, hailing from Now York and Boston had told them that he would secure them posses ! sory titles. Gen. SCOTT, upon application, sont ' first a small squad of soldiers, afterwards a Lieu j tonant and fifty mon ; but tho ontire negro popu lation of thc island hoing in open revolt, the Lieu? tenant in command did not deem it prudent, under the instructions ho had, to attonipt to carry out orders. Gen. SCOTT, on boing informed of the facts, himself repaired to the scene ; but wo have had no reliable information in tho matter later than what is contained in last Monday's Savannah papers. Although this occurrence ia much to be regret ted, thore is nothing remarkable about it. Tho two races, the wliitoa and the blacks, have long livod hero together in peaeo and perfect good feel ( ing. But that was before the negro was taught to look with suspicion upon his former master. With the thousands of emissaries, missionaries and other mischief-makors, to work upon the ignorant and credulous minds of tho negroes, nothing can be expected but just such antagonisms of races. Wo have hitherto been singularly oxempt from them in this State, but our turn must come. We hope no false and garbled accounts of this erneute will go North. Gen. SCOTT must be deem? ed an impartial witness, and we aro perfectly wil? ling to take his version of tho affair. Our social and political condition at present is ono of peculiar delicacy, and collisions between the two races may bo looked for at any tims; and if our Northern co temporaries will only deal fairly by ns, and not wilfully misrepresent the condition of things, we can havo no cause of complaint. The angels are not all black, nor the demons all white. Hear both sides, and condemn neithor unheard. THU CONDITION OP TUB COUNTRY. Liberal government in this country was on its trial in 1661, and notwithstanding the utmost efforts of iis frionds to defond, to roscuo and to save it, it foll in tho severo ordeal. Civil Liberty and Self-Government wero found a failure. They were weighed in the balances and found wanting. Liberty died amid tho shouts and insane Bhrioks of hor worshippors. Tl is is entirely in accord? ance with the predictions of the great founders and framers of our Government, and all tho true statesmen who havo sinco adorned the pages of American history. Yet tho boast, of all others most common, in the Northern publications of tho past two years, is that tho United States, aftor under going a long and gigantic struggle for self-preser? vation and territorial integrity, has como forth triumphant, bidding defianco to "traitors" within and foes without. v jt a word ?B said of the sub? version of all, tho moro mention of which once swelled the heart of P very American with pride. If you as much as nam o tho "Constitution of our Fathers," you aro laughed at. FOSTES, in a bold metaphor, spoke of tho reek less who crushed the worm that ne vor dies. It is so with the men who now constitute tho rulors of this country. Appeal to them by all that is sacred; let tho President in his sovoral veto messages show thom, in unanswerable arguments, that tho Con stitution, tho organic law of tho land,-devised slowly, carefully, aftor years of deliberation by the first minds and best men of that or any other age, is diametrically opposed, in lotter as in Bpirit, to all their acts, to their very ideas of liberty as of legislation; his arguments aro not called in ques? tion. No one takes the pains to Tefute them. They are laughed at; they are thrown by with derision. Appeal to the old, the venorablo, tho sacred ! they "tread on the worm that never dies 1" Tho appeals fall on deaf ears. A majority of the Judges of the Supreme Court still recognize their obligations. Thoy remombor that their tribunal was instituted for a high and noble- purpose; that their sphere ?B as it should be, high above tho pestiferous atmosphere of faction and party wrangling. The Supremo Court decides that several of tho Acts of Congress, passed with? in the last few yoarB, aro unconstitutional,-at va? riance with the fundamental principios of tho Gov? ernment. Ono would think that such a decision should causo Congross, and the tumultuous mil? lions at its back, to pauso, and to consider that if those wise old men. whose lives have beon spent in tho st;.uy of tho writings of our constitutional ex? pounders, and who alone of all tho officers of tho Sovernment enjoy a position that should be secure Crom tho*influonce of the madness of the hour, f they deem it their solemn duty to tlirew them? selves into tho breach between Congress and tho Constitution,-there must be danger. But, no I Congress, the creature of a day, tho indiscrimin ite agglommeration of school-boy smartness, of the ;oarso bully of the stump, thc fiorco old partisan, md tho sordid and unprincipled speculator,_is viser than a whole bonch of SOLON?. They heed iothing save their own blind, unbridled passions, ind tho unscrupulous dictates of their party lead >rs. They care not for tho Constitution nor for he Governmont, nor the people; not for honor, :onsistency, or character, and most assuredly not br the nover-to-he-forgotten negro. None of these hinge move them. Tho preservation of tho Radi ?al party, s continuance of power, is the only ma? we to be looked for in all their t': oughts, words, tr actions. The President is an obstacle in their way-he nust bo removed. Tho Supreme Court' proves an idditional hindrance-it must be re-organized. )ignity, consideration, self-respect, propriety, :ommon decency, all havo long since boon ex? tolled tho Capitol. A higher law governs their onduct, viz : Their " own selfish and vindictive lassions. When the "irr?pressible conflict" was aaugurated by WM. H. SEWAHD, ho little dreamed hat he would fall one of its first victims. AN ISEW JOHNSON was deemed a good Republican a 3w years ago, or he would not have been ?lected ?ce-Prcsidont of the United States by a Black iopublican Electoral College. SEWAHD and JOHN DN stand now where thoy stood then. They havo ot retrograded, but the impetus of the party has eon onward. Thoy roused tho sleeping dragon, od now they aro ready to liv in terror from beforo im. They conjured up tho evil spirit, but they innot lay him. Sober, thinking men, mindful of mscquencos, they stand appalled at their own ork. And they aro doing what they can-at ?mpting to stem tho flood that threatens, in a lighty inundation, to overwhelm the land, and ary everything in its swooping course. Tis vain, io lion is unchaiued, and will tear or dovour hatever comos across his path. "Revolutions ne vor go backwards,-' is an exprea on quoted at least once even- twentv-four hours i thc editorial columns of the New York Herald ; id that fiendish shoot-but yosterdav tho friend SEWAHD and JOHNSON, of COWAN and DOOLITTLE, -the advocate of a mild and statesmanlike course reconstruction of the Southern 3tatea,-now oats m tho idea of the mischief it has made, and ( I ab wi NI i now daily engaged in fomenting ; and with mean ess unparalleled, ia goading on the Congressional matics to prosecute tho impeachment of tho ?resident ; and, wo have no doubt, oro loug will ounsel Iiis conviction and death sontenco. Al? ead}', in discussing tho impeachment we per?oive L indulges iu a satanic double entendre when using he word "decapitate." . Tho future before us is gloomy in the extreme, dio question of impeachment looms up like a lugo spoctrc, throwing its deadly shadow upon ?very industry and enterprise in the land. Stocks uro falling, provisions are rising. Credit sinks. Jonfidenco ia falling both at homo and abroad. Mon go about with a vague terror dopictedon ,hoir brows, loth to look at tho telegraphic col? win in thc morning papor; afraid to meet 3omo low, wild and reckless schomo on tho part of those jreatest of iconoclasts, since the days of 1793. Thc subject is a painful one, and though we aave touched only upon thc morost outlines, we mist leave it for tho present. WANTS. WANTED.-A LADY DESIRES TO OB?
