They ar? going to carno out at Lynchburg in the spring lo avoil exorbitant rents. Tho Michigan fisheries furnish front seventy-five to ono hundred thous:1 nd barrel? of fish per annum, worth about $1,509,000. A resolution has been offbrod in th? Virginia Legislatura authorizing the purchase of a copy of WEBSTER'S dictionary, an English grammar and a speiling-book for each member. Sixty years ago there was hardly a craft larger than an Indian canoe on the great Western lakes. In 1841 the lake trade amounted to $65.000,000; in 1851 to $300,000,000, and in 1861 to $550,000,000. OLTVER AHES, of Easton, Massachusetts, has been elected President of the Pacific Railroad, to hold the office while General Dix is absent aa Min? ister to France. The salary is fifteen thousand dollars per year. The Paris Moniteur says that nearly ail the wood necessary lo build tho temporary covering to pro? tect the Holy Sepulchre during the restoration of that hallowed eclifice, has reached Jerusalem. It is intended to complete the work before Eastor. HORACE GXEKLE?, a few days ago, was re-elect? ed editor-in-chief cf tho New York Tribune. The paper, being owned by an Association, tho form of electing an editor-in-chief is yeirly gone through with, with tho same gratifying rusult to all parties concerned. Great fears are entertained by the peoplo of Bu? chanan, Va., that their town will be flooded from tho damming of the water by an immense ice gorge that chokes np tho channel of James River, near that place, which is said to be a mile or moro in length and about twenty feet high. The building statistics of the two cities Bhow that 1600 buildings wore erected in Now York in 1366, and 7000 in Chicago. At this rate it will be but a short lime before New York, like St. Louis, Cincinnati and Milwaukie, wiU bo known only as one of the minor suburbs of Chicago. The Ocala Banner announces that tho Florida Railroad, from Waldo to Ocala, and en to Tampa, would be built in a short time. This road, says tho Banner, taps the garden spot of Florida; and when built w?l wondorfuUy assist in developing the unknown resources and wealth of this section .f the State. The New York papors aro asking, "What shall be done with the snow ?" The railway companies pile it along the curbs, and when a thaw comes the cellars are overflowed, while citizens who shovel it back Int* the middle of the street are ar? rested rrefor. Of nine daily newspapers publi shed in Boston in 1843, only three are now in existence, and of twen? ty-eight magazines there remains the Missionary Herald, Christian examiner, and North American Beoiew. Of the woekly press, which numbered thirty-five,- twelve only are now printed. The Syracuse Courier says EDWIN C. LITCHFIELD, of Brooklyn, who graduated at Hamilton Collego in 1883, with one of the honors of his class, ha; just made a generous return to his alma water, in giving the sum of $30,000 for tho permanent en? dowment ef the professorship of astronomy and the astronomical observatory. A French work, recently published, maintains that every ten thousand years the water* of the sea pass from one pole to the other, submerging and overwhelming, in their passage, the earth and all its inhabitants. According to the author of the theory, M. PAUL DE JOUYENAL, the last of those deluges occurred 4500 years ago. The next one is due in 6000 years more. An enterprising Connecticut man has succeeded is curing beef in South America so that it can be safely put np and brought North. It costs, cured, a eent-and-a-holf per pound. The freight costs two dol?aos a barrel, and when brought to markot it is equally good, and brings the same price as prime mess beef put up at Chicago. "On Wodnesday last," says the Beaufort (S. C.) Nm? South of Saturday, "Major-Genoral B. K. SCOTT addressed the freedmen in this town. He gare them some good advice, which, if heeded, would secure to them both temporal and spiritual prosperity. The Genoral has been en a lour through this section of the State, and seem tired and worried by his trip." In the Neut South we also soe a long advertise ment of lot? and "blacks" to be sold for taxes, in the town of Beaufort. Over one hundred sopar ate lota or blocks are offered by the United States Tax Commissioners. HERMAN EHBESTBEEO, who was murdered by tho Indians in Arizona, about a month ago, was a learned and scholarly gentleman of German birth, and a nuning engineer, long employed in Arizona. He was secretary and ti ans la tor to Commodore STOCKTON during the Mexican war, and in the early history of Texas figured prominently, and was the enly survivor of the Fannin Massacre. In the catalogue of the cities, towns, villages, rivers, Ac, in the different States of the Union, are to be found the following repetitions, named after ?onie. of eur most distinguished forefathers : Washingtons, 13; Jacksons, 41; Jeffersons, S2; Franklins, 41; Madisons, 2C; Monroes, 25; Perrys, 22; Fayeite3,14; Hamiltons, 13; Carrolls, 18;' Boli Yars, 8; ("lintons, 19; WayneB, 14; Casses, 6; Clays, 4; Fultons, 17. Some weeks ago, FRANCIS JOSEPH, Emperor ef Austria, assembled eighteen parliaments in his Empire, and laid before each of them a speech written expressly for itself. In these parliaments were represented at loast eleven languages or dialects, and tho only ones among them all that do not require an interpretor to make the members intelligible to each other, are the Hungarian and the Croatian. The Calcutta correspondent of the London Times says the Government of India bas declined to in? terfere with the practice of taking dying Hindoos to the Ganges, immersing them, and choking them with the hely mud. Relying on tho representa? tions of on orthodox Hindoo authority, Sir JOHN LAWRENCE has decided to leave the matter to Hin? doo opinion. The Bengal Government, on the other hand, urge that in all cases of taking the sick to tho Ganges, notice should first be given at the nearest police office. The Committee of the Kentucky General Assem? bly, which was las.t year appointed to investigate .the subjeet of the removal of the seat of govern? ment from Frankfort, have recently reported. They recommend that the capital be removed from Frankfort. Several cities have offered induce? ments for the location of the capital-Louisville, Lexington, and Bau vi flo being the more promi? nent. Thc city of Louisville offers a bonus of five hundred thousand dollars, and is likely to secure the location. RMTOBI'S own personal receipts since ber arrival in this country, in September lost, ha VG been $136,000. Her total receipts on ber first appear ance at Chicago, at the Crosby Opera House, were the largest in her whole career, being $4800, of which her share was $2609. Her next largest re? ceipts on a single night were at Moscow, Russia, and the next at Rrooklyn, New York-$4100. Tho train on which she entered Chi?ago. after tho 3UOW blockade, was drawn by nine locomotives. The Trey (N. Y.) limes, of a late date, says : "Rumors were current in the streets on Friday and Saturday that JOHN MOBHISSE? had failed, but at the time they could be traced to no reliable source. We now learn that MoBBissnr bas been holding large amounts of Cumberland Coal stock. The stock has been held on a "corner" for some time, indeed until its principal owner could hold it no longer. On Friday it is reported that he failed, and this carried the stock dows from ninety to thirty-five. By this fall, it is said, Mr. MOEMSSBT loses over $4M,000-though there is no evidence that the loss causea his failure." The Washington correspondent of tho Baltimore Gazette, in a hit letter, says: "The vote upon the referonoe of Mr. STEVENS' Bill to tho "Committee on Reconstruction' was S3 to 65, Hie Democrats yoting solidly in the afnrniativo, with about ftity members of the Repuhbcan party. This is a fair in? dication, as I intimated yesterday, of the 'diversi? ty of sentiment' ri-ferred to by STEVENS as existing in the Radical ranks. It may BOW not bc out of place to inquire to what extent this difference of opinion may be relied upon as promising substan? tial peace to tho country. I have frequently, in the course ef this correspondence, asserted that it waa ? known impossibility, constituted as this Con? gress now is, that any conceivable plan can bf de? vised, asa finality, -which could receive a control? ling vol*, and the action upon the raeasmo of STE ?ens simply proves tho total inabUitv of the domi? nant party to dispose of the great question of paci ?oation-nothing more and aothing less."

MONDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY i, 1867. COMMERCE OF THE PORT. The foreign exports of cotton during the month of January show, not only a large increase over any preceding month of tho current commercial year, but are also much heavier than in any month since the opening of our port iu July, 18G5. In January noarly 25,000 bales of cotton were shipped foreign and coastwise, of which 17,189 bales have gone forward on foreign account. This is a bright and encoring circumstance to our merchants, when compared with tho gloom and complaints of a general depression of buei ! noss that pervades nearly all other commercial communities, and indicates a healthy reaction in one of our principal branches of trade, which wo should spare no exortion to re-o^tabUsh and in? crease. Thc import business has been lighter than that of December. I860, and much? smaller than tho same month of the previous year. This, however, arises from tho fact that our market was almost bare of foreign goods during the former eoason, and it is jot too early for importations for the spring trade. We certainly have causo to bo grateful for thc auspicious opening of the new year, and trust that it will bo marked throughout by tho samo im? provement in our commercial, agricultural and in? dustrial branches of business.

Prussia, but a few centuries back, was a fief of Poland. Tho latter was then one of the moat pow? erful kingdoms of Europe, while tho Hohenzol? lern s were scarcely known out of th * immediate vicinity ol' ?heir petty markgraviate. Kow Poland is no more, and Prussia takes rank as a first-class power in tho family of European Statc-s. Tho dis? memberment of Poland, and utter annihilation of its national existence, is the only case of its kind, that we know of, that has occurred m modern his? tory. Tho great FREDEBIO, it i? said, first propos? ed thc Partition of Poland, and was mainly instru? mental in its prompt and oftectivo execution. The principle of "nationality," now fast becoming re? cognized as one of the organic principles of public law in Europe, had not then been born. "Succes? sion," and the interminable wars growing out of that principle, ever so fertile in disputes, then set? tled all questions of sovereignty. Poland had a distinct, well-defined geographical existence, and a population as homogenous, perhaps, as any other State of Europe of tho same extent, yet neither the stipulation of treaties, nor tho utmost aversion of her people to their foreign conquerors, could pre? vent the disintegration of that country; nor, hav? ing once lost their national cxisteuce, have they been able, in a struggle of a hundred years, to take a single, stop towards restoration. There was a quasi Kingdom of Poland under Russian dominion, and there was also a Prussian Poland; but oven this somblauce of respect to na? tional prejudice has recently been withdrawn; and the lalo Kingdom of Poland is now a mero Russian province, and Posen has boon as thoroughly Prus? sianized as Brandenburg or Westphalia. There ia new a large admixture of Gormans in the Prussian provincej of Poland, and we do not think there is any serious opposition to, or even discontent with, Prussian rule in that part of the dominions. It is otherwise with Russian Poland. Tho Czar, "the natural ally" of the groat American Republic, hos no squeamish qna'ins about oppressed nationali? ties, nor any sentimental prejudices in favor of Polish patriotism. Tho Pope has received his walking papers. The Czar thinks himself quite competent to govern tho Catholic Church in the "District" that waa formarly known as the King? dom of Poland. Russian ?B to be the language of tho people, and the Greek ere long to be their re? ligion. Ono of the results of the French Revolution is the acknowledgment of the doctrine that govern? ments are for the benefit of tho peoplo, and can therefore only exist with the consent of tho gov? erned. It took two revolutions to engraft this principio on the English Constitution. Tho framers of tho American Republic wero tho firsr, perhaps, who set it forth clearly and distinctly in ipsissimis verbis. Throe French Revolutions have since reite? rated, in letters of blood, this same dogma; until now, at length, it begins to bo quoted as a public maxim. In 185?. tho Emperor "of the French" espoused tho Italian cause, against Austria, osten? sibly upon this ground; and, during the past year, there was non-intervention on the part of tho same monarch, in a renewed quarrel between Austria and Italy, and vor tho some reason. The poople have a right to say who shall rule over thom. This, however, within certain limits. The "Peace of Europe" is not to be disturbed without cause, and the incipient would-be nationality must havo some reasonable ground of success, whether from inherent strength, or political complications of the oppressor. When Italy roso to throw off tho yoke of Aus? tria, ehe had the sympathy of the world; when Ireland rises periodically, sho is put down, the rebellion ia "stampod out;" just as the "rebellion" was in the lato Southern States of thia Republic. Had Franco and England felt assured of om* ulti? mate success, there CHU bo no doubt thoy would have boon fully convinced ol' oui* right to chooBo our own political relations, is well as our own tomi of government, and this, Exeter Hall, ulibe)it, ?gaille, etc., to the contrary notwithstanding. The oppressed inhabitants of tho Isles of Greece havo risen against tho Turks, and dosire incorpo? ration with Greeco, their mother and their kinfolk. Thia dosire must soon bo fulfillod. Thoro will bo much war and great bloodshed before its accom? plishment, but Greek unity is as cortain within a few years as Italian unity ?B now, and aa united Germany will be within a very brief space of time. Even Russia, who "cannot BOO it" in tho case of Poland, sheds scalding tears over the woes of tho poor CandiotB, who aro ruled by Turks.-Christians opprossod by Mussulmans. That Catholic Poland is similarly situated in regard to Greek Russia is "neither hero nor there." Tho tendency in Europe at present is to great States, aud it ia a great strido in modern civiliza? tion that homogeneity o? population, rather than tvars, conquosts and diplomacy, fixes the bounda? ries. True, tho sword has been frequently called tn of late to enforce this right; but tho probability is that when onco this present transitive period is past, and the soveral nationalities of Europe havo formed their respective Statos, there will then bo such an equipoise of political power,-each State surrounded on all Bides by equally powerful coun ;rios, that there will be little or no temptation to war. Thc immense "peace establishments" of Eu? rope, a disgrace to the age, may then, to a groat ?xtent, bc dispensed with; for if Sovereigns arc ifraid to go to war, on the ono hiMid, or have but ittlo inducement to do so, which amounts to the same thing, there is no reason for keeping a largo umy on foot; and there is no reason why, in a few rears, there should not be a confederation of Euro poan States, who should determine by convention die extent of military forco to bo kept by each, lu fact, thc army would thou bo indeed, as it al? laya has boon in thoory, a more constabulary forco, needed for tho proper execution of the laws. But before thc fulfilment of thia beau ideal of :he Peace Congress cati be reasonably expected, mere must bc som o important changes in the Map of Europe, as at present constituted. Gcr nany must become one ; under Prus?ia, or govern >d by a Parliament, as circumstances and events nay develop ; Pan-Germanism will bo the measure >f tho new Empire ; thc German provinces of Aua ria will therefore bc dotached from that country, md incorporated with the fatherland. lu fact Austria will almost of nocoasity be dis? integrated, lier Italian provinces arp gone ; Italian Tyrol, Illyria, and every other inch of ter? ritory, wlicro tho Italian language is spoken, will oro long bc united with Italy. Tho German pro? vinces, we have said, will bo claimed by the Ger? man Parliamont. There will then be either an entirely slavonic Austria, or, moro probably, Hun? gary will assort hor power, and form tho nucleus rf a new empire, to re?oive important accessions from the East. Turkoy must go also. Her doom has long been spoken. Russia, Greece and Austria or Hungary will bo her executors, or, perhaps, more correctly her executioners. England and France also may probably como in for an island, or seaport, some? where in the East,-either for talcing part in the quand or olso for thoir non-intorvention. Theso, we think, are some of the-more important acts soon to bo looked for in thc drama of Eu? ropean politics. They are, on the whole, progres? sive, and tending to an amelioration of tho condi? tions of tho pcoplo, both politically and materially; and wbilo there is much in tho details of execu? tion, which wo caunot approve of,-as indeed we know that selfish ambition is the controlling mo? tive in nearly all theso changes, we are yet glad to see thom, and hope for their final consummation at an early day. HONOR THE BRAVB. We take pleasure in laying before our readers, this morning, tho account from the New Or? leans papers of the very interesting funeral obsequies of Gtm. ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSTON. The occasion was ono calculated, in the high? est degree, to awaken in every bosom the no? blest impulsos and holiest sentiments. Hore was tho grave of the hero, a man every inch a soldier, who had earned high military fame before the late unholy war called him to resign bia place in thc United States service. He was surrounded by adverse circumstances from the very beginning almost of his career in the Confederate cause. He was often misjudged, and, it is said, finally met a prematuro doatb, chiefly because he was over-anxious to refute the many slanders that were circulating about his Fabian policy. He fell, and too late his countrymen found the priceless value of that noble life. It is due to JEFFERSON DAVIS to remark bore that ho never lost faith in Gen. JOHNBTON as a man, nor confidence in his ability as a soldier. Hore then was the open grave of the groat horo, the martyr, we may say, of a canso we all held dear. It was a fit time to shod tears, and a fit place. We wonder not that thrco States claim the honor of his sepultare; nor that thousands of de? voted hearts in tho queen city of the South should take a mournful pleasure in doing honor to his memory. The Cause is lost, and we would utterly discountenance all vain rcpining3, but it is too much to expect of our people at once to eradicate from their heart of hearts all that they held most dear; for what can be dearer to a man than h:s country ? or to a woman than that country's brave heroes and defenders ? Wo regret that Ga?erais GHLFFD? and SHERIDAN conceived it their duty to oppose themselves to tho peoplo of Galveston, who dosirod to do public honor to tboso sacred remains. Wo cannot help suspecting that it was moro a stroke of pobcy than a sense of duty, that dictated those ordors. Wo cannot seo, how a man with a spark of fooling for the noble, a soldier who professes veneration for heroism, could find it incumbent upon bim te lacerate the bleeding bearts of a mourning people at such a timo. There could bo no possible harm in the demonstration; and no barm could come from it. But what matter? Tbenamoof ALBEBT SIDNEY JOHNSTON.W?U -be remembered and revered when PHIL. S HEREDAN shall have long been forgot? ten, even though be is now lauded for bis vandal action by- tho unprincipled Radical proas of tho North. Tho noble warior-lioro will rest in peace, his memory, for.ages to come, enshrined in the affections of hundreds of thousands of tho loving hearts of tho true men and women of bis country. WANTS.
