This anim;'lis a n.i bio specimen, perfectly white, and weighs over threo thousand pounds. Tue ox is consigned to a committee consisting of Mayor Bowen, Hen y D. Cooke and Mr. D?liais, and -will bo exhibited at acme suitable place in thc eily till about tho 25th instant, ?Thoa ho wiil be slaughtered for use on inauguration day. Ho ia eleven yeurs old, was onco presented to President Lincoln, and by him given to tho J sanitary commission, whoso lund? by iwsex Libitiou during tho war wera increased ?-.bout $12,000. His skin will be stuffed for the Cen tral Park SI ssc um. Now York, and his skeleton at the request of Professor Agassiz, depoaitod in tho Museum of Comparative Zoology, at Cambridge, Massachusetts. General Cashing, the United States Special Commissioner io Bogota, in conuoction with tho Isthmus Canal, returned to Panama from his mission cn ?ho 1th inst., and arrived in New York hy tho steamer Henry Chauncey on Saturday. It is stated that tho General has been entirely successful in his mission, and brings home wiln him a treaty for tho pro? jected Isthmus canal, which only awaits the approval of the Congress of tho United State He arrive J in Washington yesterday. During his stay on the Isthmus, at Aspinwall, General Cuahiog, accompanied by tho United States Consuls al Panama and Aspinwall, and other gentlemen, called on hie Excellency tho Presi dent, and was received with military honors and with the most becoming courtesy. Aller wards Goderai Gushing was entertained by General Smith, at tho United States Consu? late. -It seems to be pretty generally conceded that Mr. Johnson, on retiring from the Presi? dency, will plunge at once into tho political struggles of Tennessee; and it seems to be equally well nuderstood that if ho dots, ho will mato lively times for everybody conccruod. A Nashville letter in the leading Democratic paper of St. Louis, the Republican, says there is a good deal of opposition to thc project on the part of the Democratic loaders; bat this, ho thinks, will make ao different** Ti th the re? sult, for, he adds, that he never know Mr. John? son nominated on the Democratic ticket with? out great opposition from tho party; but that he always succeeded. Ibo writer adds : "John? son is not a party leader, but a leader of a cer? tain class of the people. He is a party driver. If it is his intention to canvass Tennessee for tho ofilia of Governor, he will do it, no matter what Democratic leaders may say, no matter what bonduolding Conservatives may say, no matte- what the Conservative papers of Ten? nessee may write on the subject. But none of these will openly oppose him. I can safely predio , that A. J.'s cam ass for tho Governor? ship of this State, should it be mado, wiil not be exceled by anything in tho way of political drama, jet enacted, for tidiness of entertain? ment." -A Washington letter to tho Baltimore Ga? zette says: "The cxaminalioa of private ser? vants on Mr. Corcornn's claim excites no littl j comment in diplomatic circles. The claim for the occupation of property by thc Liueoln ad? ministration was allowed in the Treasury De? partment. Congress not donying thc jiistico of it, iceks to avoid tho payment of it by tax? ing Mr. Corcoran with disloyalty. Accordingly Mr. Brewer, who wa3 a scarcely giown man six or Bsvcu years ago, is brought before tho Committee oa tho District of Columbia, to whom thc o.' tim has been referred in the Sen? ate, aad nlbwod to testify in an examination Btrictly ex narie, that at a private dinner at tho Russian .Ministers a very prominent gentle? man-one of tho old school-said that he would give tea thousand dollars to have Jeff. Davis come to Washington and hang Liucoln and his Cabicot, upon which Mr. C. said that he would give ton times as much. No gentleman, possessed of that tact which loug political ex? perience give*, would have so compromised a minister ia troublous times. Bo3ides which, another gentleman, said to havo been present, -declares that ho never was at such a dinner. Barun Stoeckl bas left Washington, it is now known, not to return; otherwise this creature would never have dared to give any such testi? mony. What will bo thc upshot of it it is im? possible to say. Some foreigners think that the members cf the committee may yet havo the decency to dismiss the subject without at? tempting to moko the testimony public. The i dea of trusting at any time to the testimony of lackeys as to private dinner table conversa? tion, is simply too monstrous, and to attempt to bring it forward after years have elapsed makes it a creat deal worsp." -A steam velocipede bas recently been in? voiced, by which it is asserted groat speed can bo obtained. The cylinders are placed vertically in-front of tbe boiler, between it aud tho seat, and connect witb cranks on the shaft of the driving wheels, which, two in number, are situated on the front part of the carriage. Tho engine is a direct-acting compound en ?iue of two cylinders, each cylinder two-and-a half inches diameter and Uve inches Btroke. The steering gear consists of an endless chain working over a grooved wheel on tho axle of the driving wheels, and passing over a corres? ponding wheel, fixed between the forked shaft just over the single steering whoel. which in this instance is in the rear of the carriage. Tho latter grooved wheel is a wide one, and over it passes another chain, which works arouud the boss of the front wheel. This arrangement gives power to thc steering wheel, so that in turning a corner it takes a wider sweep than the two driving wheels, which go first. In travel? ling on a straight road tba machine is turned to either side by turning the steering wheel to tho opposite side. The fire box and tubes are copper, pressure two hundred pounds to the square inch; but it is asserted that a pressure ot twenty-five pounds of steam will givo a power equal to tho, force necessary to propel a volocipeds by the feet. The steam velocipedes, however, it is asserted, will be an uncomforta? ble apparatus for the driver, since ho must sit near the boiler. Up to January 1, 1869, it is reported, there have been taken out thirty patents for velocipedes, the first patent dating June 26, 1S19. CHARLES TO ?. WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 17,1869 Dur Financial Position. Thc question cf the resumption of specie payments, which'isso generally discussed in the North, attracts but little attention in the Southern States. Our newspapers are not flooded with letters pointing out the royal road to the haTd money era ; public speakers have no word to say about the almighty paper dollar; our new-fledged rep? resentatives in Congress arc not bored with memorials or petitions in opposition to the glitter of gold, or in favor of the flimsy greenback. The reason is obvious. Wo aru at this moment, notwithstanding tho war ana the uncertainties of a system of free n< gro labor, in a more sound financial condition toan are the Northern States. At our backs we have two and a half mil? lion baka of cotton, worth in the "aarket two hundred and fifty million of dollars. In this State alone, the cotton crop is worth more than twenty million. This year tho South miy expect to produce at least four million bales, and v/e do not anticipate that, any crop short of four and a half million bales wiil cause uplands lo sell for less than from twenty to twenty-two cents. Cotton is our buck-bcue, the. strong tower of our whole commercial fabric. It is evident enough thar, cs long ns we can make ?ot tou as well as wo have done during the last yrarj- m tong-a.?-.?Up TTUIUI-umhj la "min that long-loukcd for cotton couutry which can make it independent of. our staple, we can com mind ail thc^currcncy that we re? quire, and be always in a better position to resume specie payments, or endure an inconvertible currenoy, than the merchants and manufacturers of thc Northern centres of trade. Cotton is gold, if we choose to make it so. Tne price of the staple is regulated by the-European demaud, abd not by do? mestic consumption. Every pound of cot? ton which is exported is sold for gold, and wc repeat that the South could drain the whole of New England and the West of its specie, by requiring that cotton should bo paid for in hard money alone. Such a pol? icy on our part, however, would evince little practical wisdom. There is not over? much confidence here in cither greenbacks or United States securities. Thc planters and farmers do not inveet their balances in five-tweuties or seven-thirties or any other ?alional financial denomination. Their distrust, however, is gradually wearing away; but it ia still Btrong enough to impel them to buy gold and keep it as something which neither Congress nor Radicalism nor the inevitable freedman can deprive of in? trinsic value. This feeling is bringing Bpecie in a 6teady stream to the South and holding it here; but as that specie repre? sents the net profila of the producer rather than the price of hia produce, it will not suffice to cause any embarrassing strin? gency ia tho Northern gold market. If, however, we were io demand gold or silver for the whole three and a half million bides of cur cotton, thc par er dollar would go head-long down hill, and. there would be a panic in New York greater even in ita in? tensity than that of twelve years ago. But we cannot afford to ruiu the North, evca if ive have thc power. As theio could not be lasting prosperity for thu North while the Souih waa in the dust, so there would be trouble, serious trouble, in the South, if the North were bankrupt. The two sec? tions aro more or lesa de-pendent the one upon the other; and aa we know that cotton is measured by a gold standard, and that ile price iu paper mu?t increase ia the ratio of the depreciation of the paper currency, wc can well afford to mind our own busi? ness and leave the problem of specie pay? ments to be solved by those whom it more detply concerns. We have this year demonstrated the won? derful elasticity and energy of the South. We have made ourselves commercially inde? pendent. We have given less attention to party politics and more care to commerce and trade. This, wo hope, will be the course of our people in the future. They can make as much money aa they need; they can, ia time, solve the negro question or cut that Gordian knot; they can, with? out agitation or risk, but with a few more crops of cotton, secure aa influence which will make the South a power iu Congress, and exuirt the adoption and continuance ot a liberal Federal policy. Our pusition \s strong: our hearts are light; our ful ure ia bright with hope. Why need we, who owe but little, and who produce yearly mon gold by our labors than ?B drawn from thc gold mines of the entire globe, trouble our heads with the questions at which Wall? street trembles ? * y New Publications. JESUS OF NAZARETH : Hi9 Lifo and Toachinss: founded-ou the ? our Gospels, and illustrated by reference to the manners, customs, reli? gious beliefs, and political institutions of his times. By Lipman Abbott, with designs by Bore, DeLaroche. Fenn and others. New York : Harptr & Brothers, 1869. Holmes' Book House, Charleston. Henry Ward, Beecher must look to his laurels. The life of Christ which he an nounces is anticipated by a volume written very much in his style, and with a variety of contemporary allusion, such as the sen? sationalist of tho Plymouth Church can scarcely go beyond. Tho analogies to which Mr. Abbott resorts are oftentimes fanciful, for lime does not repeat itself, neither does nature. The correspondence he seeks to establish between the Jewish Commonwealth and the American Republic fails in many particulars, ffis description of Galilee, as "the New England of Pales tine," is singularly infelicitous; it is found? ed neither on thc manners, of the people, the products of the sell, thoclimato, nor the geological formations, but simply upon the f ct that either i? a rolling country with a Lebanon (a white mountain) range to the northward. Perhaps Mr. Abbott needs to bo reminded that the Syrian Lebanon is white inside aa well as outside ; it ia a limestone formation, and so has only a re semblance in name to the granite heights of New Hampshire. Wo are constrained ulso to object to the rollicking spirit in which our author ap preaches so grave a subject as the life of the Redeemer. Witnout question he has made a popular book-full of information, of genial colloquy, of happy hits, of fasci? nating narratives. Thero is a freshness in the careless, crisp style, a picturesqueness in the rapid sketchings and groupings of the Evangelical history, au American movement and hurry given to the qniet Oriental life, which entrances the reader ; but for our part, we would be better suited by s style more reverent and solomn and tender. The illustrations are for the most part excellent, au J add to thu iuterest of the volume. The republication, however, of some of tue plates, from Abbott's "Holy Land," would have been very serviceable, Wc refer particularly to thc plans of the principal historic districts. No LOVE Losr. A Romance of Travel. By W. D. Howells, author of " Venetian Life," &c. Kew York : G. P. Putnam &, Son. Charles? ton : Fogartiea' Book DopoBitory. Mr. Howells is BO well known as a writer of graceful and delicate prose, that we have long felt that it was "on the cards" that he might some day glide into verse ; and just such verse as we have here, delicate, airy, tender, pathetic, musical. The poem is wri::en in hexameters, and Mr. Howells maneges that very difficult, measure with grace aud spirit. It is very short, only fifty pages of largely priuted letter-press The theme would have borne a little more elaboration. What there is of it, however, is simply charming, and few who have read it once but will retrace their steps.

Sole //,ij)o) r of the Schiedam Arnmatir Scltnapps, So- ~~ Bcnvcr-st'-cct. . NEW YORK, November 15. 1868. Io the People of thc Southern States i "WHEN THE TITRE MEDICINAL F.ESTOF.ATIVK. now so widely kno?n a3 WOLFE'S SCHIEDAM ??CaNAPP?, was in'roduced into the world nuder the endorsement of four thousand leaden; members of the medical protes6ion some twenty years ago, tts proprietor was well aware that it could not wholly escape the peualty attached to all new and usefu preparations. He, therefore, endeavored to invest ii with strongest possible safesuard against counter? feiters, and to render all attempts to pirate it diffi? cult and congcrous. It was submitted to Statin? guished chemists for analysis, and pronounced by them the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its puri? ty and properties having oeen thus ascertained, sam? ples of the aiticle were forwarded to ten thousand physicians, including al) the leading practitioners in tho United States, for purposes of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of the preparation and a report of thc result; accompanied each specimen. Four thousaud of thc most omlucnt medical men in the Union promptly responded. Their opinions of tho or?cle were unanimously favorable. Such a preparation, they paid, had lone been wanted by the profession, as no reliance could be placed on the ordinary liquors of commerce, all of which were moro or less adulterated, and therefore unlit for medical purposes. Ihe peculiar ex-cllence and strength of thu oi of jumper, which formed one of thc principal ingredients of the Schnapps, togother with an unalloyed character of tho alcoholic ele? ment, give it. in the estimation of tho faculty, a marked superiority over every other diffusive ftimu laut as a diuretic, tonic and restorative. These satisfactory credentials from professional men of tho highest rank were published .in a con? densed form, and enclosed with each bottle of the Schnapps, as one of thc guaranteer of its genuine? ness. Othor precautions against fraud wcro also adopted; a patent was obtained for the ari ide, tho label was copyrighted, a Jae simile of tho proprietor's autograph signature wa-- attached to each label and cover, his name and that of thc preparation were em? bossed on thc beides, and thc corkc were sealeU with bis private seal. No article had over been sold in this country under the name of Schnapps prior to thc introduction of Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1801; and tho label was deposited, as bis Irado mark, lu thc United States District Court for the Southern District of New York during that year. It might bc ?-upposed by poisons unarquainiod with tho diring character ot tho pirates who prey upon the rc* v'ation ot honorable merchants by vend? ing deleterious trash under their name, that tho pro? tections so carefully thrown around those Schnapps would have precluded the introductions ami sale of counterfeits. They seem, however, only to have stimulated thc rapacity of impostors. The trade mark ot th J proprietor has beeu stolen; the indorse? ment which his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone received from the medical profession hud been claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels and bottles have bcon imitated, his advertisements para? phrased, his circulars copied, and worse than all, dishonorable retailer*, after disposing of tho genuine contents of kn bottles, have filled them up witb :ommou gin, tho most deleterious of all liquors, and thus madn his name and fannel a cover for poison. 1 ho public, tho medical prolCMiou and ihe sick, for whom Ihe Schiedam Aromatic Schnapp? ia pre? scribed as a remedy, arc equally interesto i with tho proprietor iu thc deice:iou and suppression of these aclarious practices.. The gocume article, mauuiac lured at the establishment of thc undervalued in Schiodam, Holland, IH distilled iro'ii a barley of thc Incst quality, and flavored with an essential extract >f tte berry of thc Italian ju: ipt-, of unequalled pu? rity. Bj a procoss unknown in the preparation ot my other liquor, it is lreed.l'roui every acrimonious iud corrosiveelomcut. Complaints have been rc reived from tho letuling physxlans and families in tho southern States .of h.- salo nf cheap imitations of the .-chicdain Aro natic Schnapps in those markets; and travellers, ivho are in tho habit ot usin? it as an antidoto to thc i3Ui.?il_ii>ii<-.proi' of viwhr'-'nrifl ---, ie? ?fy that cheap gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, is frequently palme8 off upon the unwary. The igeutiot the undersigned have been requested to institute inquiries on the si bjent, an! to forward to dm the ni> ines of buch parties as they may a-dr? ain to bc engaged in thc atrocious system of docep lon. lu conclusion.
