Gold closod yesterday in New York at 197?, and Cotton was quoted at from 32 to 33 cents. The first shad sold in Kow York for six dollars. It took five hundred laborera to clear the track of the Western Railroad from Albany, New York, of snow drift* after thc late storm. A flue baby was disposed of by raffle in Mobile last weok at the low price of $25, and was won by a typo in the Register office. North Carolina's watch tax was sixteen dollars last year. Georgia paid ono dollar ou a single geld watch. Happily, the tax is now abolished. The trial of th-j thirty ladies of Greenfield, Ohio, for mobbing tho liquor dealers, was concluded last week. The jury roturned the verdict of $625 for ike plaintiffs. A new sensation is announced at a Brooklyn skating park. Prises are to be hung in the middle of the ice, and skaters are to compete for them blindfolded. At a Catholic fair in Memphis, Tenn., a cane ?waa offered for tho most popular county official. It ?waa voted to Sheriff WINTERS. The votes cost one ?ollar each, and 10,836 votes were cast. The cane originally cost $85. GARRBTT DAVIS was elected United States Sen? ator from Kentueky by tho combined vote of tho Democrats and Conservatives. The vote stood 7S against ll for BRISTOW, with a few scattering votes. Mr. BEECHER'S congregation talk of chartering a steamer next Summor, and making a trip to the Holy Land, Egypt, the Crimea, Greece, and inter? mediate points of interest, with their pastor and his family in the cabin. Governor MORTON last Thursday sent in to the Indiana Legislature his resignation of tho Execu? tive office. He recommended his successor, Gov? ernor BAXBR, as being "aile, patriotic, and faith? ful." The young and accomplished CHRISTOPHER CO? LUMBUS, descendant of the great discoverer, has taken possession ef his father's estates, and title of Duke of Voraagua, in Spain. Don PEDRO CO iiuamus, or, as they call him in Spain, Don PEDRO COLOI?, the father of CHRISTOPHER, died 26th De? cember. Our Atlanta exchanges state that several citi? zens are in jail in that placo for innocently dis? playing the Confederate flag in a tableau. It is stated also that the Yankeo commander even or? dered the b dies to be arrested, but the arresting officer refused to obey him. From 1SC0 to 1865,1382 persons woie killed and 4460 injured by railroad accidents in England. The several railroad companies paid large sums in 136*5 as compensation to passengers for injuries. Tho ion principal companies paid a total of $1,142,950. Large quantities of specie are constantly passing through Chattanooga from New Orleans to New York. Its ultimate destination is, in most esses, England. The editor of the American Union saw the other day two kegs of silver marked $5000 each; and eight or ten boxes of ?old, valued at about $100,000. An officer at Fort Phil Kearney writes that thc three post forts, Reno, Smith and Kearney, are in a state of siege. Thoir garrisons amount in the aggregate to four hundred men and six pieces of artillery, while four ur five thousand Blackfeet, Cheyenne and Apachees are encamped in the vicinity. The Montgomery Advertiser states that there is great destitution among tho poor of that city. Tor two weeks there have been no Government supplies on hand, and tho unfortunate are obliged to appeal to private charity. Many of the women assert that they have been two days successively without.food for themselves and their children. A new and great movement for the reformation of the Roman Church is said to be going on in Mexico. Its obj jct ia? to break off from tho old Roman Church, for the reasons, as charged, that through Romish influences were sent the French armies which have invaded Mexico, and deluged the land with republican blood. The Imperialists propose to stop it by the old-fashioned plan of hanging and shooting. The Secretary of War directs that whore depo? sits are made to the credit of the Treasurer of the United States by disbursing officers or agents un? der the direction of tho War Department or its Bu? reaus, tho original certificate of deposit should bo sent to the Secrotary of tho Treasury through tho head of the Bureau of the War Department. The United States Treasurer has issued new rules for the redemption of fractional and other United States notes, that from whatever cause have become unfit for circulation. Under these rules all National Banks that have been desig? nated as depositories of public money are reqiured to co-operate in the work of redemption, except of such notes as are designated as mutilated by the Department. A French newspaper states, with regard to the parasites found in the potato, that tho microscope reveals to us the existence of a small black spot, of the diameter of a pin's head, in the potato. In this small space can be detected Borne two hun? dred ferocious animals of a coleoptric form, which bite and tsar each other with continued fury. It is easy to comprehend the potato disease when such an intestino warfare is raging. It ia estimated by those who ought to knew, that at present, in round numbers, there aro about 1,200,000 Free and Accepted Masons neat tered upon the face of the globe. Of this numbar, some 150, 000 are in England, 100,00) in Scotland, and 50,000 in Ireland. There are about 600,000 on the conti nent of Europe; 300,000 in the United States, and 50,000 in other parts of the world. In England there are two or three thousand persons initiated every year. The 'Nashville Dispatch, of January 29th, says "A party of twenty Badiana from the Choctaw Na lion aro in the city, consisting of young squaws and braves. They are well dressed and seem en? tirely divested of the wild ferocity of their tribe when they roamed tho untamed forests of North America. Thoao Indians, we are informed, are here for the purpose of going to school. They visited both Houses of tho Legislature yesterday, and attracted considerable attention." Among the rich cool fields of Southern Illinois is a coal bed of some 23,000 acres, not far from Chester, on the Mississippi River, and about sixty miles below St. Louis. Over 18,000 acres of this bed explorations have been made to Buch an ex? tent as will show that tho greater part, if not the whole of it, is underlaid with three strata of coal, the upper one of which is thirty-six feet beneath the surfacp ?md six feet thick, but with a good limestone ro. % the next beneath it, seventy-seven feet doep, and four and a half feet thick, and the lowermost one hundred and nineteen feet deep aud six feet thick. The coal found in this bed is of remarkable excellence. The Mormon leaders are inclined to exaggerate their numbers, and set down the population of Salt Lake City at 25,800; but the Gentiles, pointing to the census of 1860, which gave but 40,295 in all Utah, say there cannot be over 75,000 now in the entire Territory. A gentleman who has investi? gated the matter somewhat fully this season, be? lieves the true population is about 100,000 f ouls for the Territory, abd 15,00$ or 16,000 for tho city. Yet, because an ordinary sized houso, wide** at the East would scarcely be occupied by eight or ten people, is here found to comprise, within its four walla, from two to twenty wiv?3, each surrounded hy a large, interesting and constantly increasing fondly, it is a matter of no small difficulty to esti" mate the people by the number of their dwellings. Childron fairly swarm. Stout, strongly-built, ruddyl faced, it must bo confessed that, BO "far as physical deterioration is concerned, polygamy cannot be justly charged with degenerating the race. We learn from the Newport Hoosier Slate that ?ha well at Lodi, Fountain County, was bored, last week, some thirty-three and a half feet deeper, of ?which twenty-five feet was through gray sand? stone, with a thin strata of hmestoue. The la3t .ight feet and six inches was white compact crvB talline limestone, or marble, hard enough to mark glass. Thowell before was discharging from two thousand to three thousand barrels of white sul? phur water. This deepening increased the flow wonderfully, and it is estimated that tho water dis? charged would amount to from two hundred thou? sand to two hundred and fifty thousand gallons per day, thus more than doubling the discharge of the famous "Granette" well at the Hotel des Invalides in Paris. Tho temperature of the well has increased ono degree Fahrenheit for every fifty-five feofc pasead in going down. Tho present temperature of artesian water is seventy degrees This well is ..rtainly one of the wonders of the ff?r?t LARGEST CIRCULATION- The DAILY NEWS jmllishes the O?aial List of Let? ters remaining in the Postq?ce til Ote end vf each xccclc, agreeably to the following section of the.

Some days ago a number ol' benevolent gontle mon in the city of New York, appalled and dis? tressed at the great destitution of a great part of the South, resolved to deviso means for aa allevia? tion of this distress. A meeting was called, and took place at tho Cooper Institute on Friday night, ihe 25th ult. Thoro were many persons present; and among them we noto tho dluminaii ot Gotham in ?very walk of lifo. Mr. PETER COOPEE, the Chairman, stated thc object of tho meeting in a few appropriate remarks. He was followed by a Mr. BRIGHT, ::a Southern gentleman," who enter? ed into some particulars in regard to tho scarcity of breadstuffs in certain parts of the South. Roso lutious wore next submitted and adopted, urging tho appointment of a Southorn Belief Commission. Rev. HENEY WARD BEECHES then addressed the audience, and with that happy faculty, so charac? teristic of tho man, ho at one? plunged in medias res, and before Ms admirers h;d well had time to recover from the enthusiastic greeting they gave him on his appearance, he had tkem all in the middle of the Fugitive Slave Lr.w. Tho reverend gentleman makes religion his trade, why not charity ? He must have a quid pro quo for all that passes through his hands. He is willing to accord relief to the suffering aud starving ex-rebels,-bat he does it under a protest. Ho gives them a lecture along with tho loaf. With a delicacy of taste, which we cannot but admire, and a most Christian unostentatiousnoas, be takes this occa? sion to remind tlieso samo starving Southerners, that they once had the uppor band, but now it was otherwise. "Now, we, tho Yankees, are the top rail, and you, Southern aristocrats, must como to us and beg for tho crumbs that fall from our ta? blea." These are not Mr. BEJ -at's words, but this is certaiidy tho sum and substance of bis re? marks, if wo understand the meaning of words, and aro to draw the inferences they ua'urally bear. He spoke of tho groat changes effected within the past few years; "changes," bc says, "effected by reason, by thc deep moral instrumoutality that touched the very vitals of life." Now, we do not believo a word of this. Wo do not bebovo reason bad anything to do with it, but passion and pre? judice a great deal, assisted not a Utile by envy, mabco, hatred, and all uncharitableness. He next told the audience that ono of tho changes produced by this bato political convulsion, is the fact now everywhere acknowledged, that one man is as good as another. Mr. BEECHER hardly ?tatod thia pro? position with sufficient empbat?s. Todo full jus? tice to bis party, bo should have said, that if the "one man" was a black man, and tho "other" a Southern white man, then one mau is oven better than another. He thon proceeded to speak of tbe sin of slavery. Mr. BEECHER bas HO long descanted on this bis special bobby, that be cannot readily adapt him? self to the changed condition of the times, and still eontiuuea to prate about the sin of Blavory. But Mr. BEECHER means well; At least we hops so. Ho says : "We want tl.e moral and social element of reconstruction. The nation is never going to j be reconstructed by an edict. Sympathy, couti- j dence, affection, tho interplay of interests, mutual j respect, at last reopening ofter a long, long inter? mission, into intermutual life." This is all true; but we do not see bow it is to bo accomplish ed. Certainly not by making speeches like this of Mr. BEECHER'S. PerbapB, be is disposed only to regard the colored populaci?n of the South, tb? "loyal? ists," as entitled to sympathy; and thinks the pre? sent generation of Southern whites are not sus? ceptible of social and poUtisal regeneration. If this ia bis belief, we caa understand bim. Thus, I for instance, be says : Massachusetts wa? a plucky old State-[ap? plause]-and though tho very bael, beao of Puri? tanism was supposed to run through that State, and though ber soldiers perished at Belle Isle and in other prisons, she bad built tchools near those very points where five hundred or one thousand boys, the children of those vho carried the knife ana pistol, wore educated, and in thia way sba bod revenged herself ou thou- children. Wbose cbildron are these, now se tenderly ?aught and taken care of by Massachusetts school-marms? They are tbe freedmen, the nation's young words. Why mention them in this connection ? No one doubted the fact of their recoiving full caro and attention at tho bands of tho negrophilists. Tho Reverend gentleman then wound up with some coarse humor, which tickled his audience. HOSACB GREELEY followed, and administorod i a well-merited rebuke to tho Rev. HENEY WARD. He said That be did not doom it advisable to bring in the subject of pobtics in o question which was simply one of human suffering, lest it might bo supposed a self-righteousness and bitterness wore blended in with what ought to be a mere kind? ness. [Take that, Mr. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.] There was a quarter of a milbon of widows in the South who were not accustomed to earn a bvo lihood, and there was a quarter of o nrlbon" more of maimed soldiers who could not work, and who bad families depondinsr on then: ex? ertions. These were now in destitution and re? quired all the assistance that could be given them. Our soldiers bad pensions which mitigated the sufferings ef their families;, we had great chari? table funds during the war; but these wer J more scanty in the Sonth, and they bad nothing to re? present our pensions. Then the war passed over the homes of the South. It made a great differ? ence whether war trampled down your fields er the fields of those a thousand miles away. All the movements of armies and their requirements, camp fires, &c, greatly destroyed and kept away tho material of a country. In this case there was unusual desolation in the South. All tho factories and foundries were contributing to the support of these people, and these wero burned as a means of weakening tho South. Cotton, too, was burned, and when not burned was stolon-[laughWrl-in some woy or other. Besides, the South stood oui so long against bone that nearly every fo"t of the country was trodden by hostile annies except Texas. The possibibty of largely producing food was destroyed in tho South after tho war was over, and mil?ons ef dollars were lest hist year because the seed they planted was so old it would not grow. Had they bod fresh seed alone, much ef the destitution of the boutb would have been avoided. He said a good deal moro, all true, and all in Sood spirit; and was listened to witb the most in? tense interest. That touching allusion to cotton iteoling carno home and seemed to take particular? ly well. Who will a-ain say our Northern brethren sanuot bear to bear the truth ? Rev. Dr. KENDRICK also made some remarks mitable to tho occasion. We are sorry to find that ie 'Joes not yet consider himself siUficiontly strong n tbe confidence of bis Northern friends, and leemed it necessary to toll them that be "differs 'rom bis many warm friends m the South on many' joints." His many friends in Charleston will be lurprisod to learn this. HORACE made n groat nisfcake when be said that they who go beyond he soas change their skies but not their minda. Cven "coastwise navigation" can produce a k-onderful chango of opinion. Wo bavo had ro? tated instances of this within the last few years. m-j_i_iwsta&rri'. ANOTHER MURDER I*| TENNESSEE." This caption wc find to a paragraph in a recent inmber of tho New York Evening Post. Wo have lotbing to say about the truth of the report; mowing nothing about it beyond what we bave' ead in tbe said paragraph. We have no doubt here are murders in Tonnessee as there aro in ?titer States, and especially so in East Tennessee, rbere wa learn tbe lives of ox-Confedcrate soldiers re bold very che.ip; justice hoing there- odminis ered by juries and judges so very loyal thal the hooting of rebele is considered a vsry venial of once iudeed.
