Ul gail% pm .THURSDAY MORNING, APBLL ll, 1867. [From thc. Galtut/.] SOME LO'. ER'S CLEAR DAV. Why am I not with thee? Oh, soo how blue tho sky ; 'tis suroly springing From ont thy thought lo bond and rest on miuc. How still, how clear, though all the town is ringing With voice and din to vex me as I pine To be with thee. The noise repels mo uoi; For swiftly through the cloudless sir I travel, Thy heart itself the distance spans for me; Oh royal road, on which my thoughts unravel Time, space, and tum alt, on their quest for thee! Bepel me not. Wherefore must I be here, When in this very day that God is making He seems to summon each to seek its o wu ! The blossom to the sunshine is awaking, Like answers like, and nothin. is alone, While I am here. I long to see thy face; My heart too fatefully and swiftly mounting Demands to sate its huuger in thine eyes, Ah, not content its late delight recounting. It must go seek its fountaius where they rise Beyond thy face. Too bold, my heart, too bold I WOt thou not fright her with thy selfish yearning, And what art thou that she should harbor thee ? Ah, what is abe, whose gracious might is turning, Resistless turning this poor heart to be 60 bold, so bold 1 Oh never seek a name For this sweet sorrow-let it unnamed rule me, Consent of boin, to lt is name enough : Does God with thee conspire to bless and school me, Oh then the sweetest word we speak is rough, And not a name. What hammer tur a wi this spell ? Whether I dream or work, it holds me ever, I dream herself, I work as one that Bleeps: My labor's forge no tem per yields to sever This Bky and sun slaked tyranny that keeps Me well-yee, well Our pulses weld tao chain, My heart's clear day that melts, thy clearness greeting; Thonl't never speak the word nor send the glance, Nor with s mood transfix me e'er so fleeting', 1 hat shall destroy mo with deliverance, ; Thy Belf to gain. JOHN WEISS. CITY FINANCES. At the last meeting of City Council, Alderman RAVENEX, Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means presented the following Report and Resolu? tions, which were adopted : The Committee of Ways and Means, in submit? ting to Council a bill, amending the Ordinance for raising supplies for the year 1867, respectfully ask to state their reasons for so doing. It is now eighteen months since the present Council was inaugurated. The task of reconstruc? tion of municipal allairs was commenced with an empty Treasury, and with a population dishearten? ed and impoverished. The first effort was to re? store confidence and the city credit. The public buildinga were dilapidated, and rapidly falling into decay For want of immediate and necessary re? paire-the streets imperfectly and but partially lighted, and in bad order, as well as the sidewalks and gutters-tidal and other drains requiring cleansing, and the Health Department, impera? tively demanding energetic measures, without re? gard to cost-the Fire Department in want of much, to render it as efficient as it had been, and a police to be established for the protection of fifty five miles of streets in Charleston proper-the maintaining of tho charitable institutions of the etty, which were filled with persons impoverished and unable to support themselves. These things, and many others, all required immediate action, and much money. The first important act of your administration was to poss the Tax Bill to raise supplies for the year 1866. A large amount of these taxes was poid in rrty bills, which, although reducing the in? debtedness of tho city, were unavailing to the Treasury, as by law -these bills could not be re? issued, although b .mid to receive them for all dues of taxes, ic., to the city. This, of course, curtailed the receipt of available money: and although much pressed your Committee could not I suggest to Council an increase of tuxes to a bill already considered ?by. roany as onerous, and perhaps with reason, but nevertheless impera? tively necessary. Under circumstances of em ? barras sm en t, your Committee asked and' ob? tained your consent to thc borrowing of money, which they accomplished at a high rate of interest; but it could not be avoided, as it was deemed expedient to do this rather than disappoint tho creditors of the city, and to violate ito good faith*. I a] ge accumulations of arreara-, gee of interest due to the holders of city stocks and bonds, pressed heavily on Council, and public opinion called loudly. that this just claim should have its earnest consideration. Conned therefore passed a bill directing that the said interest should be funded, and we are glad to say that most of these creditors acceeded. On the first of April, 1866, just five months after the reestablishment of the city government, we had tho satisfaotiaa of paying the quarter's inter? est due on that day, on the city debt. This, as we bad hoped, at one? created confidence, reassured our citizen?, and imparted an avdrf&WTtv and value to city sec uri tie? which no other corporation in theState enjoyed. .. 7" Our city was proud, and justly BO, of having set so good an example. It was a strong and impor? tant mani reaction that we were determined at once to begin tha work of reconstruction, and that in good earnest. It has been alleged that Council was premature in paying its inter? est-if thia was a fault, it is certainly pardonable, as it enabled many persons to meet pressing ob? ligations and to provide for their immediate wonts. It caused the circulation of money, .'and its whole? some influence was felt throughout the city. It is but justice to our tax payers that we should here state that to their sense of propriety and justice is Council indebted for the means with which they achieved this desirable end. They responded to the call on thsm for taxes, when they had but Blander means, showing thus a strang evidence that they supported Council in its efforts to fulfil' ito obligations. : We are happy to state that the in-1 teres t was all paid promptly each succeeding quar? ter, amounting in all to about three hundred thousand - dellars. But, unfortunately, -we have had a pressure on us, which, for the moment is dis? couraging ; bet we must nerve ourselves and '^'?^^iUn?if^!^ our hoaro* difi?culty, '??^ ^^??cgfjf of purpose and the support . _ citizens. It was a matter of deep regret and of much reflection, and only after the exhausting ( of. every expedient that your. Committee asked fjouncil to authorize . his Honor, the Mayor, and . - the- ; City ' .Treasurer,' ' to i a sue certificates of indebtedness to meet the last quar? ter's interest. But it was either to do this or to deprive:the holders of city securities of any way of realizing their interests. "With a floating debt of fifty-five thousand dol? lars, at an interest of one and a half per cent, a month, we felt as if it was not right br prudent to borrow more money on terms .now current, even if it had been possible to obtain it. . We deem it best, to state frankly the financial condition of the city, being satisfied that the good sense of our community would sustain us. In phasing the Tax Bill it must be confessed that Council was. a-'luated by lenity, aud a desire to make the burthen of taxation as fight as possible, and extended the time of final payments to 29th June next, and should any be delinquent then, that on interest, at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum, was to be'charged. Good feeling here ignored our necessities, which required that tho last day of payment should have been 1st April on all subjects ..of taxation, except those provided by law to be paid monthly; moreover the inter? est, if the tax was not paid then, should be made commensurate with that current. Tho bul we are about to submit purports putting it on this footing;. Council mupt noe forget that the financial changes in our State have been very great since cur Tax Bill was passed. . The repeal of thc Usury Laws hos made money virtually a commodity, and its value enhanced or depressed according to the demands tor it. There? fore, our citizens must expect to meet the change and conform to the result effected by it. ! It may be sadd that a rate of interest higher than seven per cent, is hard and ruinous to those citi? zens wno are unable to pay their t axes, but we must examine the subject fearlessly, with a de? termination to do justice alike to all. The tax Eyer, who responds promptly, demands at our nds, as his right, that afijwho enjoy the advanta? ges and protection of the city should be made alike with himself to beor a portion of the public burthen. , Jt has been alleged that Council had been too indulgent to delinquents, lt is true Council always leans on the side of mercy, and has extend? ed at times, under circumstancas of peculiar dis? tress, an extension of time, which the'esses seemed imperatively to demand. It is due to the public to say that the arrearages of taxes during tho war, and the taxes of the lost year, have been paid ahnest beyond oar expectation, especially when we consider the poverty of our people. It is almost unnecessary that we should urge on C ouncil the necessity of great oconomy in tho ad? ministration of its -affairs. Our actual wants arc - more than we can manage with comfort. In conclusion we have only to say that all of our efforts to manage with success the' finance of the caty will be unavailing, unless sustained by the countenance and support of our citizens. .

NEW ORLEANS, April 5.-COTTON-Tho market open? ed quiet this morning, and has continued dull and inan? imate throughout the day. The receipt of the ll A M dispatches, reporting increased depreciation at New York, materially contributed to the general inaction. The supply was sufi! ci en t to meet ordinary requirements, and factors who oifored were generally induced to sell, and evidently disposed to make additional concessions; but the principal portion of the buyers showed no de? sire whatever to operate, preferring to await the receipt of later intelligence. vThe downward movement in Gold and Exchange also exercised an adverse influence. Un? der these circumstinces the sales were extremely light, the aggregate business at the close Bumming up barely 1G00 bales, nine brokers participating in the business. Prices mdicated further irregularity, and, on the whole, au easior feeling, the market closing unsettled at our quotations. With the above remarks,we quote nominally as follows: Ordinary, 26c; Good Ordinary, 27; Low Middling, -a28, and Middling, -a29. The 2 P. M. telegrams, announc? ing a reaction at Liverpool, arrived too late to exercise any potent influence in prices. The sales for the past three davs comprise 5900 bales, making an aggregate for tho week of 16,500 bales, against 16,050 last week, and 22,700 the week before. The receipts proper during the past week (excluding tho arrivals from Mobile, Florida and Texas, which are included ' in their respective state? ments) embrace 9751 bales, against 10,870 last week; showing a decrease of 1119 bales.

These soles have ueeu gonerally closed at very Irregular rates, varying at 7,*i to 7 rs, basis No 12 (D A), and in very few instances trifling lots wore obtained at 6% rs, which, however, cannot form any criterion, inas? much as they were realized under special monetary con? ditions. Purchasers are much disheartened to touch tho article at those figures in the presence of the unfavorable situa? tion of foreign markets and thc gloomy character of our monetary matters throughout thc Island, while thc 1 t ter have produced a heavy depression in exchanges, nnd almost complete paralization in tho market Low figures oro offered, but planters seem determined not to give way at less than 73?a7J? rs, No 12. Their chief reason for firm rates is the deficiency in tho crop now becoming .apparent MusoovADOES-No material change has token place in regard to this article since our previous report, owing to the good demand and the certainty that the production of these descriptions will fall considerably.short; sellers have been unwilling to yield to any reduction, and buy? ers have been compelled to give the rates asked. MOLASSES.-The good demand noticed in our previous report has kept unaltered up to tho end of last week, when the most urgent wants of shippers being satisfied, tue market has commenced to exhibitlesB activity. The sales have reached about 3500 hhds, mostly 6 rials per keg for clayed, although some parcels for immediate de? livery, in new casks, and pure prime quality, obtained 6>4 rials keg. 400 hhds Centrifugal, in old casks, at 4 rials. Muscovado at GaGJi rials keg. CROPS-Although receipts thus fur show an excess over la -1 year, they are estimated at more than half tho pre? sent crop, and accordingly no doubt can be entertained in regard to its shortness, compared with tho previous one. Some estates have already finished grinding, and their crops result hi a deficiency of about one-fourth from lost year, the cause of which being mainly attributed to the severe drought experienced, and which prevails still in many districts. FREIGHTS_The demand for Europe has boeu kept rather slack, but rates have not undergone any material ciionge. For the United States the inquiry continues good under firm prices, but the. arrivals of late being Iorgo we anticipate some decline. LUMBER.-Tho market for pitch pine lumber is very flat the stock being considerably large. Sale ex cargo per H. C. Brooks, from Mobile, of very good steam sawed lumber at $21 li mille cash.

They are unrivalled for their singing qualities and for the harmonious roundness of their tone. There is a perfect homogeneity throughout all the registers.
