Tlie Richmond Times snys: "Many of flu; American people havo so often heard their politicians tell them they were 'sovereigns,' that they have come to believe it. And when any of the scions of Pe? trolia and Shoddy undertake a tour of Europe, they do not seem to thiulc they are associating with their equals unless they are, hy hook or crook, managing to thrust their brazen coiiutennuees through the doors of a regal palace. "The Emperor of the French., not? withstanding ?ill the suavity and pa? tient politeness which belongs to his race, and are personally possessed by him, is said to have been 'bored to death' hy his brother sovereigns of America, who fear he will feel hurt if they visit Europe without calling upon him. "By the etiquette of courts, no subject nf a monarchical power eau bo presented to a foreign sovereign before he 1ms been presented to his own; this being very properly consi? dered a sufficieut evidence of his fit? ness and ? respectability. Now. as Americans are their own sovereigns and go to see their servant, thc Presi? dent, as often us they choose, the European ride has not been rigidly applied to them, the custom having been to admit to court all whose names the American .Minister should send in. In this way, several gmn blers, horse jockeys .iud a barber arc said to ha^e been foisted upon the French Emperor, and he is getting very tired of the foolish and vulgar 'sovereigns' of America who are try ins: to bo intimate with hiin.V HARD LIFE roi: TUE PRESIDENT. The following from the Washington Republican shows about the daily duties of the President: Saturday, from 0 to 10, he was engaged in preparing papers for Cabinet meeting. From 10 to 12, he was occupied in close consultation with Gen. Grant and Lieut. Gen. Sherman, in examining the list of officers for the new regular army, preparatory to official announcement. From 12 to 3, he was attending Cabi? net meeting. From 3 to half-past -1, he was engaged in holding interviews with from fifteen to twenty different persons, on as many different sub? jects. At half-past 1, he left his office and went to dinner and to obtain rest. At 7. he returned to his office and "received" until ll o'clock, a "steady stream" of callers being on hand. Thus tho President passed the day, ami Saturday was not much unlike every other day, except that when the Cabinet is not in session the crowd is ranch greater and the ques? tions more complicated. NEW Ionic ANO THE SOUTHERN TRADE.-A Ne v York letter, of Sa? turday last, says: "Thc dry goods merchants are doing a great deal of grumbling just now. Trade, they say, is seriously slow, and what is more, flu; letters they receive, from Southern customers to whom they sold goods on credit early in the season,d hold oat but little hope that they will be able to get their money without an extension of time. Meanwhile, stocks of goods are accumulating here, and prices are looking down. This morning, ono house sold 200 cases Merrimack prints at about one cent reduction from the asking rate. Foreign goods, as well as domestic, participate! in the depression." The Richmond ll?//// says that the Virginia tobacco crop has turned ont well, the quantity being considerable and the quality good. Nearly every farmer whose land admitted of it has raised tobacco, and as this is tin great money crop of Virginia, the Whig anticipates that by the sah; of their tobacco, the farmers will be placed in a good financial position, and can begin agricultural labors next year under better prospects. Not long since, an Amsterdam mer? chant, after lavishing a fortune on furniture and paintings, caused tho floor of ono his apartments to be laid with Spanish dollars set on edge. THE PROSPECT IN Missoula.-Tho St. Louis Republican, judging by tho returns from thirty-four Counties, estimates tho total number of regis? tered voters in tho State at 125,000. Tho radical vote lias neves: reached quite 46,000. The Republican, there- j fon-, counts very strongly ou a con- j servative triumph at the approaching election, on tho State ticket. Asan instance of the hard times in Georgia, it is said by ail exchange, that a plantation in that State that will yield a bale of cotton to the acre, under favorable circumstances, and which hus always been valued at $'25,000, is now offered for $0,000, but cannot find a purchaser. Sixty years ago, there was hardly a craft larger than an Indiau canoe on thc great Western lakes. In 1841, the lake trade amounted to ?03,000, 000; in 1851, to ?300,000,000;in 1801, to ?550,000.000, und it bids fair, in 1871, to reach the enormous sum of $1,000,000,000. Io Hinds County, Mississippi, there were, in 1860, by the census, 22,363 negroes, and by a census taken this year, 16,000. ' This shows a decrease of 5,412, being upwards of 24 per cent, upon the census of 1860. Since the process of photographing upon silk and linen has been per? fected in France, many persons have their portraits upon their linen in? stead of their names or initials. They are not injured by washing. A young man, late of the rebel army, called at the Adams Express oflice a few days since, and ashed if he would ali*!wed to express his sen? timents. Thc English and French Govern? ments arc to interfere in the dispute between Spain and the South Ameri? can Republics. Thc people of Victoria, Vancou? ver's Island, have petitioned the Queen to annv. themselves to tho United States. Rev. Mr. Walton, an agent of Washington College, Virginia, bas raised ?50,000 for that institution in the South and West. The cholera, after carrying off 400 people in San Antonio, Texas, has disappeared. A Georgia plauter says he shall realize five l?ales of cotton to the I hand. The New York Express says that thc Seventh Regiment bas resolved not to visit the Paris Exhibition.

Present-His Honor tiio Mayor; Alder I men Geiger, Hitchcock, Hunt, McDonald, [?Radcliffe, Taylor, Walter and Weam. I Tho minutes of the last meeting vero read and confirmed. A petition was received from Brown & Schirmcr and others, praying that grain and other products of tho soil be relieved from taxation. Accompanying said peti? tion was the legal opinion of a member of tho bar, that thc tax was unconstitu? tional. Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means. A potition was received from sundry cotton merchants, praying that Council elect one additional weigher of cotton. Received as information. Tho following communication was pre? sented to the Council: CUAHLOTTE, N. C., October 27, 1366. To the Hon. Mayor and City Council of Co? lumbia: The undersigned, President of tho Co? lumbia and Augusta Railroad Company, respectfully submit to your honorable body the following statement aud applica? tion: That a very liberal charter was granted to tho Columbia and Hamburg Railroad Company by tho Legislature nf South Carolina, in thc year 1HG4, Changing the name ?nd stylo to the Columbia amt Augusta Railroad Company; said Act o: the Legislature was ratified by an ordi? nance of the Convention of 1SG5." lt is known to your honorable body that tho surveys and some graduation were done during the war, and paid for in Con? federate currency, at a comparatively cheap rate. Tho company kept a small force at work from thc surrender to Octo? ber, 1865, at which time a re-organization of the company took place in Augusta, and it was resolved by tho stockholders that tho work proceed to us speedy a comple? tion as tho means and resources of the company would justify. Since then, the hands at work cn tho road have been increased from 100 to 700 laborers now at work on the same. At least three-fourths of the masonry and graduation have bergt finished from Co? lumbia to Granite ville, and carly in next year thc entire road bed will bo ready for the iron. *Owing to the severe losses in thc destruction of its cotton in Sherman's raid, this company, like all railroad com? panies in their incipiency, required the aid and co-operation of its friends, lt had looked to tho cities of Columbia and Au? gusta for that co-operation to secure its completion after the subscription to its capital stock was exhausted. Its applica? tion is now pending to the city of Augusta, for a subscription to its capital stock of $100,000, and tho undersigned, in behalf of said company, requests a subscription by tho city of Columbia of $33,800. Tor this amount, tho Columbia and Augusta Rail? road Company will receive in payment of its stock an equal amount of tue stock of tho Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad Company, which, it is presumed, the city of Columbia holds unencumbered. After tho dread calamity which luis be? fallen your city, this application is not mado without dim consideration for the future interest and prosperity of Colum? bia and her generous citizens. The rea? sons for this application aro based on tho following considerations: First. The dif? ference in tho value of this amount of stock of the two companies cannot exceed $2,000 or $3,000, as neither is likely to be productivo for the next year or two. Se? cond. That it will turn the current, of through travel via Columbia, that now goes by Wilmington and Knoxville. Third. It will secure tho construction of tho Wil? mington and Manchester Road from Sum? ter to Columbia, instead of Kingsville, as at present-thus giving throe lines of com? petition to tho Atlantic coast to Columbia: ono cia Augusta, ono via Charleston, and ono via Wilmington-greatly cheapening transportation to your city, and increasing its commercial importance. Fourth. The city of Columbia has heretofore pledged herself to a subscription of $2i 0,0(M) to this road. Even the small amount asked, would show ber purpose to maintain her good faith as far as practicable, and such evi? dence as this subscription would imply in her reviving prosperity, would give great faith and confidence to "capitalists in her futur, growth and success. Fifth. Tho opinion is entertained that it would enablo our friends to secure a subscription of $100,000 from thc city of Augusta, which, with you" subscription, will determine the futuro success of tho Columbia and Au? gusta Railroad. Other important consider? ations will readily suggest themselves to your intelligent body, why the city of Co? lumbia should maintain her heretofore wise and liberal policy, in aiding all railroads terminating in her limits. After a deso? lating war, tho real estate is tho principal property left tho country. Wo cannot ex? pect this to greatly increase in value, with? out the facilities of railroads, which will invite capital, labor and population. It is believed tho construction of tho Columbia and Augusta Railroad will add, annually, several thousand dollars to thc revenue of your city, by increasing its trado and the value of its real estate. It is, thereforo, hoped that your Council will not hesitate to grant this application to a corporation destined to be so important to tho future of your city. I have tho honor to remain, very respectfully, yours, WM. JOHNSTON. Received and referred to tho Committee of Ways and Means. Petitions wero received from T. M. Pol? lock and C. P.
