ASTOR, son of JOHN J. Jr., is a pupil of THOMPSON, the sculptor. A Psyche of his is woll spoken of. The New York Tribune estimates tho expenses of both sexes who attend tho 1200 balls of tho sea s-vT iu that city at $6,123,000. MARION HARLAND'S "Sonnybank," published a few weeks sinco by SHELDON & Co., has reached a sale of more than 12,000 copies. The Chicago Evening Post (Radical), of January 18, says that Governor ORR, of South Carolina, is in Washington, very obsequious and oily. The coal trade of Pennsylvania during tho past year amounted to 12,285,903.17 tons, which would amount to the enormous sum of $C7,896,800. A. H. LEE, of Prairie du "ocher, Randolph Coun ty, Illinois, turns out to be the winner of the Crosby Opera House, and not JOHN MEYER, ol' Chicago, as previously reported. The receipts of tho Chicago theatres last year wer? as follows : MCVICHKB'S, $120,143; WOOD'S Musuem, $144,239; CROSBY'S Opera-houso, $75,3G7; Varieties, $40,346. Total, $880,095. The magistrates in Derbyshire, England, have jost sentenced JEM MACE, JOE GOSS, and three other leas notorious pugiH?ts, to a month's impris? onment, with hard labor, for taking part in a prize? fight. A second edition of a Japanese-English diction? ary has been published at Hong Kong by a Japan? ese gentleman. The whole edition of ono thou? sand was sold within a few days of its publication. The widest bridge in the world, which spans tho Thames from-Battersea to Pimlico, was opened on the 25th nit. for traffic. It is one hundred and ten feet wide, with space enough for eight Unes of rails. The Leavenworth Times says that there can no longer remain the shadow of a doubt that the In? dians are preparing for P. grand onslaught on the whites of the border. The massacre near Port Phil Kearney was but the beginning of a series of outrages planned by some of their leaders. Miss HELEN FAUCTT, who played the original Pauline to MACREADS'S Claude Melnotto, when ?'The Lady of Lyons" was first brought out in Lon? don, has lately repeated jjp part in a reappear? ance in the Drury Lane Theatre. "MACK," of the Cincinnati Commercial, writes that Gen. H HERMAN, when last heard from, was heartily sick of diplomacy. He told a friend that he always liked to obey orders, but he be damned if he was going to ride a thousand miles on a mulo to hunt for JUAREZ or MAXTJTILIAN either. Rev. Mr. SCHAUFFLEH, writing from Germany to the New York Congregationalist, says : "And here I may nota one of the excellencies of German churches. Nobody has his own pew, thirefore everybody has equal title to a seat, and the poor never feel themselves excluded." Tn Harlem a peculiar ornament of white lace and card-board, hung just outside the street door, sig nines tho birth of a child; and for the period of B?X weeks after a birth, while such badge is visible, no tax collector or creditor of any kind is allowed to demand payment. Mr. MCPHERSON, Surveyor of Monterey County, California, says that Mt. Diabola, for miles in ex? tent, ia one conglomerate mass, formed of fossils of marino animals and plants, showing that at some period the EC?, had its banks or beds along and over this ridge three thousand feet above its level JOHN BALDWIN, of Borea, Ohio, a few days sinco handed to President WHEELER, of the Baldwin University, a deed for forty acres of quarry, as a centenary donation to tho University. For this property it is said he has been offered some two thousand dollars an aero. It is regarded by friends of the University as worth at least one hundred thousand dollars. The Treasurer of the late Southern Relief Fair at St. Louis publishes a statement, from which it appears that the total receipts of tho grand fair '. amounted to $136,756.66 ; expenses to $10,C43.58. Balance to be credited to the charity, $136,298.88. Of this, $124,743.63 was paid to tho Distributing Committee, tho remainder being applied to the ?> relief of applicants, or sent in goods to the South. The other day (says an English paper) ? meet? ing of the islanders of Valentia was held to give an expression of loyalty to the Crown and Consti? tution at this juncture, porticularly with regard to their readiness to defend tho Atlantic cable from hostile interference. Tho Knight of Korry ad? dressed the people, and everything went off satis factorily. Mr. S. L. GOUVERNEUR, of Frederick County, Md., who ia the grandson of President MONROE, and who has in his possession many of tho im portant papers of that distinguished patriot and statesman, is now preparing for publication a work from the pen of Mr. MONROE, addressed to his countrymen, and written after ho had retired from public life, full of years and honors. A Washington correspondent says the late deci sion of the Supreme Court on tht< Test Oath will undoubtedly influence the action of tho Executive to'some practical extent, and wo may confidently expect that the South will bo relieved from tho al? ternative of having either the few small civil of? fices there filled hy itinerant Yankees, or be de prived of mail and other facilities altogether. The New Orleans Telegraph learns that all con traols of levee building are rapidly completing, ' and that but a short time will elapse before the works will be able to resist the "Father of Waters" with effect. The * 'Marengo" levee has been put in such complete and splendid condition as to defy the rise of waters. "Bass" levee is un? der a fair way of being finished in time, while con tracta have bean taken, to rebuild and repair the "Cross Bayou" levee. Cincinnati is troubled about its water. A "pe? culiar flavor and bouquet" distinguishes all tho water from the hydrants, attributable to the re? fuse washed down from the slaughter-houses by Deer Creek, near the mouth of which tho pipes take np the supply for the use of the city. The theory is advanced that the snow lying about tho Ohio and its tributaries, from Pittsburg down, ab? sorbs the impurities from tho smoke which con? tinually fills the atmosphere in all that region. Advices from Brazil state that tho new com? mander of the Brazilian fleet on the Parana River had departed for the seat of war to supersede TA afANDABE. The Paraguay and Parana Rivera had risen so with the rains that the allied camp was partly under water. The Paraguayans were still hnsy fortifying. The new British Admiral had ar? rived in the Platte River. Many Canadian clergymen are of a strong ritual? istic tendency. Ono of thom has officiated at a , marriage in a white silk gown; another has openly declared the doctrine of confession; a third has published the "Priest's Prayer Book," in which the doctrine of confession, plenary absolution, and prayers for the dead, are maintained. Tho 1 Bishop of Toronto declares he secs nothing oh- * jectionahlo in all this. ? It is stated, says a telegram to the Now York Tribune, from Chicago, that in best informed cir? cles that CROSBY holds the tickets for tho three 4 chief prizes next after the first, and it is not cer- i tain that ho has not that also. It also turns out * that the opera house to be deeded is not tho whole 1 huilding, as represented, but only theaudienco ' room in the inaccessible centre of the block. If F thia proves the biggest swindle of tho season no a one will pity tho victims. . h ? fortified cavern was recently discovered in a a park in the commune of Flac, near Lavour, France, * the existence of which had ncvor boon suspected P by the people living in tho vicinity, lt consisted * of three vaulted chambers cut out in thc hard rock, n and connected with each other by a labyrinth ol' P narrow galleries. Thc art of defence was in it a carried to a high dogreo of perfection, and it was a probably a place of refuge at tho timo of some great political revolution. b For tho benefit of our street railroads : A widow " lady in New York has recovered a verdict of $5000 ri against a street railroad company in that city aa damages for a broken'limb. Sho requested thc conductor to stop thc car to enable her to alight, ii hat he did not, and rudely pushed her from the I platform-she falling and fracturing her leg. Tho ci court laid down the folio whig law: "If a car ia not w foll, it is bound to stop for you-not merely to ii Blacken speed, but stop absolutely. If you wish to ai get off, the car is bound to stop entirely and give h; yon reasonable time to do so. A little severe dis- d ciplino in this matter will do good, both to the it People and the railroads.''

SATURDAY MORNLNG, JANUARY 2?, 18G7. WHAT THE COUNTRY NEEDS. The telegraph every now and then sonda a mag? netic thrill through the country by mysterious Milte of ''amicable adjustments' of tho difficulties ponding betweon South and North; of tho closing of the breach between Congress and tho President, otc. Universal suffrage and universal amnesty aro said to be tho basis of this proposed sottkmcnt. We .know Gov. OUR is at present in Washington, and it is rumored that ho is there for political rea? sons. HORACE GREELEY also has been at the enpi- j tal for some time, and his views are known to be-j pacific. Others a! so, prominent men from differ? ent sections of tho country, aro said to be engaged in this laudablo purpose. We do not know that there is any truth in these rumors, but earnestly hope that something may come of it. We feel a8 t ured that wo express the sentiments of every ono of our readers when wo say that tho country is heartilly tired of thc present, uncertain, unsettled, unsatisfactory, irritating state of things. Even downright war, in'many respects, is preferable to a state of susponso, th it appears no vor to have an cud. We counsel no wai1; wo have had quite enough of that, we only refer to it for purposos of illustration. A war ?even, wo say, is better than this everlasting susponso, for, during the progress of a war, wo always hope to come out victorious, and then tho dispute will be definitively so:tlod; while in the present state of things all signs and all prophecies fail. Nothing is certain, and the wisest philosophers or statesmen, the keenost ' merchants, and most sharp-sighted financiers are surrounded by tho dense political fog, and cannot seo two weeks before them. Tho attitude of Congress to tho South, one of determined, persistent hostility, has boon incalcu? lably injurious, both to the country at large, and still more so to tho people in tho 'unreconstructed' Southern States. It has bocomc cvidont to every disinterested observer, that tho object of the ultra Radicals is not peace, but power and plunder; that they want not compliance on our part to any mea? sure proposed, but prefer continued agitation, as being moro conducive to an attainment of their onds. Reconstruction, thc professod aim of all thc legislation of tho present Congress, lias receded more and more. Tho "States lately in rebellion" were as roady fourteen months ago to take their place among the United States as they are to-day; every constitutional requisitefor readmission hav? ing been scrupulously complied with, if tho Pre? sident's policy, so much sneered at now by tho Radicals, could have been carried out, tho wounds of the country would have been healed; the na? tional debt diminished iu bulk, and consolidated upon a lower rate of interest; the enormous in? ternal revenue tax would have been reduced; peace would reign throughout the land, and peaco would have begot confidence, both at home and abroad; our impoverished condition would have beon-re lieved by capital from abroad; moneyed men would have found that here was a fine field for secure and profitable investment,-a fine climate, a fertile soil, and a population of laborers skilled in the cultiva? tion of the most va'nable staple products of com? merce. They would havo come to tho aid of our planters, and by this time the South would nearly have recuperated from her ruined condition. Such might have boon the caso; but it suited not tho cupidity of some of our Northern breth? ren; and we are still kept on the stool of susponso. Wo havo a government, it is not recognized. Our Legislature enacts laws, thoy ore declared not binding. We have complied with all the requisi? tions of the law; it is not credited. Wo have tak on tho oath of allegiance to tho United States Gov? ernment; we aro told that wo are not sincere, that wo aro perjured, that wo aro rebels at heart, etc., otc. Yet has the South given the most undeniable proofs of sincerity; for while all have takon the "Amnesty Oaih," how fow wcro ablo to tako the Test Oath I Had we boon guilty of the unprincipled hy? pocrisy charged upon us, the numerous "Federal offices throughout tho country would not have gone begging, for want of suitablo Southern men to fill them. Hero and there a man was found, who could truthfully tako the Test Oath, and did BO; some there were also, perhaps, who swore fla? gitiously; if so, they are marked; but tho vast majority of our people never dreamed of profess in ?, not to say swearing, to what they did not feel or know co bo true. Wc, therefore, do not merit tho aspersions of perjury, xmtruthfuluess, insin? cerity, or disloyalty. But wc hopo there is an end of all this, and that a "settlement" will bo offected, satisfactory to all parties and sections. J? such settlement is prac? ticable, it will be the panacea of tho country. Wo oro weary of this chronic irritation; of being daily calumniated; and either passing it over in silenco, or making tho same donial over and over again. Wo want something that will establish confidence between tho two sections. Northern men come here, trust thoir lives and property with us, and, wo have every reason to believe, have no cause to repont of their step. Why, then, can other Northern men, who remain at home, not give us the samo dogreo of confidence, or at least a small Bkare of it, and believe our solemn state? ments ? The latest case in point of this perpetual suspicion of all our motives and actions we find in the New York Tribune, ot tho 21st, where we read an editorial paragraph, in relation to the recent difficulty on the Choves plantation, near Savan? nah. The Tribune blamed G on. TEUTON for send? ing over troops to enforce order, and remarks that in all alleged difficulties between planters and ne? groes, it is always to be takon for granted that the negro is in tho right, and the planter in tho wrong; mid that United Stetes troops should not be used against negroes. To what lengths a blind fanaticism can lead sven the most intelligent. How iniquitous, if not in motive, certainly in ita consoquencos, such ra assertion ! How moimtroua the doctrine 1 It is tho voice of passion, not of reason. Wo hopo to see the day, and to seo it soon, whon those samo people shall confess with shame that thoy ever dold such views, or could give vent to such reck? less assertions. By all moans let us have a settlement, and an md of all strife and quarrelling, wrangling and Dickering. We have had more than enough of all ;hose, aud are anxious to try, for a while at least, ?heir opposites. RECONSTRUCTION.-Mr. BOUTWELL is to concoct i new plan of reconstruction, that shall be accepta? nte a large number of the late '-Rebels." The icw York Tribune, of tho 21st, spoaking of it, lays : A simple provision that no further confisca ions shall be initiated would enable thousands of ho most capable and enterprising Southrons to ?orrow money wherewith to fence and till thoir inda, or to sell half of thom for tho means with rhich to cultivate th> other. And why not thus irovido V If we do not proposo to confiscate-and lniost every ono says we do not-let us state this jyond cavil, so as to allow thousands now fettered nd paralyzed to return to active usetulnosH, and hus contribute to the National thrift and pros erity. If wo do not mean to indict for simple reason-and every ono knows that such indict ?ont would, under the lato decisions of tho Su remo Court, bo but a costly sham-let us say that Iso, and dispel thc idle but none tho loss painful pprchen3ions of devoted wives and children. Wo ?ill not hore uso tho word amnesty, since it has cen so grossly and dishonestly perverted; bu. wo isist that Co-.igrcss bhall at least seem as gene? sis as it reallv is. A Washington dispatch says thc committco to neatigato the burning of thc Neto Ironsides at oague Island, have ascertained that the grossest uselessness prevailed on the vessel; that an officer as seldom seen on her, and that thc watchman i charge was busily engaged in mending shoes nd clothes for thc officers. Some of thc teslimo y goos to .show that it was thc work of an incen lary, but thc better impression seems to bo that was the result of negligence, for which the offi? ng aro responsible. _WANTS._ WANTED, A .MIDDLE-AGED WHITE Woman, who is williDg to go in tho country, Wil? liamsburg District, healthy locality, to cook, wash, iron, and make horscl f generally useful about tho house.
