Tho Banco Espag? nol paid out on th? first day of tho ?um $000,ooo in gold, and then reduced its pay? ments to $25,000 per day, in accordance with authorization from the Captain-Gene? ral. ?VII the banks except that of Bossier 3t Co., had resumed payment, and it was supposed that the latter was hopelessly in? solvent. Tho Legislatures of Maine, Massachu? setts, Maryland and Ohio assembled to lay. HAURISHUHO, January 2.-Gov. Curtiou has sent in his farewell address to the Le? gislature.

Loss *25,OoO; insurance ?IS.OOO. LiOVALTi" ON PICKET.-What tho National Intelligencer says below of Forney's Chronicle is equally appli cabio to the radical press generally: The virtue that is eternally paraded is usually and justly considered a spurious article. But when it is trumpeted forth on all occasions, and when occasions are incessantly cre? ated for its blatant self-assertion, it becomes worse than dubious. If it adds to this a perpetual onslaught on the reputation of others, right minded men will not only suspect but despise. Tho staple subjects pf th Chronicle are, "our loyalty" and your, treason. Published in the city of Washington during the war, with an incessant dread of tho consequences of. independent criticism before its eyes, it never dared utter a word save of fulsomo praise and servile adulation, even when conscious that judicious censure would be of service. Then, as now, it systematically slan? dered every individual and press that did not measure up to its own shame loss standard. THAT GAME OE FABO.-The ?New York Citizen is a little more explicit j about that game of faro in New York, last week. It says : The most vigor? ous and pertinacious hight against the "tiger," ever made in this coun? try, came off on Wednesday night last. The assailing party was an ex member of Congress, of this city, while the bank was backed by a mem? ber elect. Thc attacking party left the scene of conflict at U a. in., on Thursday, the winner of $12-1,000. ! We think this affair has no parallel in sporting annals. We are glad of it, Ben. ; it will help set you on -your feet again, and John can alford to lose it. At one time in the'evening, Mr. Wood was loser to the extent of $180,000, but cool persistence in cfcieed the change recorded above. Fred, Douglass lectured, thc other evening, in Brooklyn, New York. Tho reporter of the Eagle, of that city, relates the following as the most striking incident of the occasion: Our reporter mus tho risk of being accused of telling talcs out of school in noticing the fact that, at the close of Fred. Douglass' lecture at Ply? mouth Church, last evening, a white woman, in the exuberance of her ad? miration for the colored orator, forced u^on bim a high token of apprecia? tion, in a chaste Platonic lass. The reporter dryly adds that the fortunate black man received the salutation "without blushing." The Treasury Department detect? ives have obtained possession of ono of the most dangerous counterfeits in circulation. Tho noto is a fine imitation of the ?50 legal-tender, with the vignette-likeness of Alexan? der Hamilton, and is an exact coun? terpart of the genuine, except somo slight errors in engraving. The easiest way to detect the counterfeit ia by observing the marginal line of the figures running around tho back of the note. In the lowar left-hand corner, will be observed the figures 550 instead of 50, as in the genuine. Tho Louisville Democrat thinks Missouri the best State in tho Union to live outside of just now. The California end of the Pacific Railroad will be higher than the passes of tho Alps. There are libel suits involving $150,000 against the London Pail Mall Gazette. A monument to Sir John Franklin has been put up in London. COMMKttCIAL. AND FINANCIAL. NK. V YORK, January 2-Noon.-Money caby, at 7 per cent. Gold 132J. Exchange -sixty days 109J@1094; sight 110.

CARRIER'S ANNUAL ADDRESS TO THE PATRONS OF THE COLUMBIA PIHBM Al GLEANER. <???-? ?T HST TT -A. IFL 3T X , X 8 G 7 . INTRODUCTION, KIND READERS : As tho old sad year has floated Down the ceaseless stream of time, Once again I bring my offering A poor carrier's simple rhyme. Thus the years glide on before us, One by "ono they pass away, As a -writer quaintly tells us, In a dead year's requiem lay : "Years roll through the palm of ages, As the dropping ros'ry speeds Through the cold and passive fingers Of a hermit at his beads. Ono year falls and ends its penance, One arises with its needs, And 'tis ever thus prays Nature, Only telling years for beads." Join, then, nature in her worship, For your country needs your prayers, That Jehovah might relieve her From the weight of woe she bears. Pray for peace and restoration, I ray for wisdom from on High, That tho people aud their rulers May be guided yet thereby. COLUMBIA.. But something pleasant meets tho eye Since my last annual round ; [walls Whero naught but blaeken'd, crumbling Through all our'streets were found Stand comely structures, reared with shill And with artistic taste And busy marts and fair new homes F?1 up that dreary waste. Our city, from her sad debris, Does Phconix-like arise "With all that energy and will Which adverse fate defies ; And those who bore the brunt of war Through many a fierce campaign, With HAMPTON, KERSHAW and with GKEQO, Are workers here again. The hum of industry is heard From morning until eve, And gentle Avoman is at work Tho suffering to relieve. No more does vice or crime disturb Our city's quiet mle, Our youth with diligence have sought The workshop or the school. Thus will our city surely riso " Triumphant o'er the past, And only memory o'er that scene * Its sombre shadow cast. RADICALISM? I would that I could greet you, With words of hope and cheer, And weave more pleasant numbers, To hail the new-born year. But the sad and gloomy record Of- that just passed away, Forbids my muse to render Her usual joyo s la}'. The fortunes of Our country Aro still too tempest-tost, And factious hate rekindled Till hope itself seems lost. Our stricken South still mourning Her sons and heroes slain, Yet bears the yoke upon her, But shows no servile stain. Tho faction that would crush her Beneath its iron heel Wipe out her ancient land-marks, . And place foul treason's seal On all who promptly rallied To aid her now "lost cause" Still sit enthroned in power, The framers of our laws. Our greeting then is sadder, Than oft before was given, All human help has failed us, Our trust, our stay, is Heaven. THE AMENDMENT REJECTED? And yet there shines a star, From out the deep'uing gloom, Which ?hows the South all is not lost, Nor buried in the tomb, Where lies enshrined her cause, Her banners furled and low, Proving that houor still survived That fatal, crushing blow ! Her States refuse to bend The pliant knee to power, Or pass the edicts of the men Whc madly rule the hour. Killing in passion's sway A people aye as true To honor, liberty and right. As nation ever knew A people in whose faith, As plighted to maintain The Constitution and the laws, None need confide in vain . A people still oppressed By faction's cruel reign, But guard their honor and keep bright .Their 'scutcheon without stain A people smitten low, Beneath the chastening rod, But patient, bowing to His will, Their Father and their God. SUPREME COURT DECISION* That Court, which once a TANEY graced Still sits supreme o'er might, And even-handed holds the -eales Of justice and of right. The guardian of the people's rights Our chief tribunal stands ; Though late, those dreaded courts of war Her dictum now disbands. No "so-called" justice meted out By shoulder-strap or star ; No more their cruel edicts add Fresh victims io the war. The ermine sheathes the vengeful sword The badge of war and strife ; No longer do these dreaded courts Trifle; with human life. And though their victims still may pine In bastiles drear and grim, Justice will ope their doors and strike The fetters from each limb. Then let our people not despair. Nor basely cower to might; God reigns in Heaven still supreme And will defend the right ! WORK FOR THE FUTURE? Faith, aye, is proved by works, And there is work for all Who love our Southland and obeyed Her earliest martial call. She calls again those heroes, From mountain and from plain. To peaceful, earnest labor, She must not call in vain. She has mines of wealth deep buried, 'Neath lier varied, teeming soil, She has fruitful fields that ever Must reward her children's toiL She has all that ever furnished A nation's wealth or power, She has noble hearts within lier, Whom misfortune cannot cower. Then let all rise up and labor For this country and her weal, With all that faith and courage With all that noble zeal Which bore them through the conflict On many a well-fought field And let no gallant spirit To adverse fate now yield. THE RESULT? Then will our Southland prosper, And plenty crown ..ncc more Her fertile plains,aud .alleys, As in the days of yore. Her wasted towns nod cities -Will peopled then become, With strength renewed she'll gather All her exiled children home. Then will rise in strength and beauty, Where blackened ruins stand, Fair homes and stately temples, Dotting our pleasant land. Assembled round each hearth-stone, Shut in from toil and jar, Young, eager hearers list'ning To some story of the war And round her homes and altars, Kneeling children-arid their sires, Will thank Him who has saved them From faction's baleful fires. Thus be it with our Southland, Throughout the coming time, Ami with this prayer your carrier Completes bis NEW YEAR'S RHYME. WHAT RADICAL CONGBESSMCKN SAID AT NASHVTLTJE.-The reception ?it Nashville was nothing less than an j ovation. A dinner was given in the \ evening that called together in the large dining-room of the hotel the representative men of the city aud many of the ladies. Tho largo dining hall of the hotel was crowded to its utmost, and in response to a toast given by Colonel Hirkman, of this city, hoping for a restoration of the old Union and its glories, vice President Foster said that if the re? ception of this evening were an as? surance what they should get else? where, the best expectations of their hosts would bo realized. Senator Wade, when called to his feet, stated that it. was his intention at the commencement not to mako a speech, and though ho felt compli? mented by the-reception, and should adhere to the resolution, 1 o must confess to a most agreeable surprise at the cordiality of tho reception. , Senator Ramsey, on being called for, expressed his gratification at the unexpected kindness received at the hands of the citizens of Nashville and hoped for a speedy settlement of all difficulties. His remarks were warmly received. Senator Lane, in reply to the call for him, stated that civil war had passed forever. The people of the North and South should unite, as did their sires, whose resources were from tho same ever-springing foun? tain. His recollection of this re? ception should always haunt thc greenest spot of memory's waste. Ex-Governor Brown, of Tennessee, in reply, stated that he heartily shared the sentiments expressed, and did not desiro to discuss the ethics of tho recent controversy decided by arms; but he thanked God for peace. He rejoiced to see tho representatives of tho National Legislature. The same banner now floated over our heads. Whatever our differences, the feeling most predominant among the Southern people was to have tho Union restored. His speech was all through enthusiastically applauded. General Howard and Representa , tives Lafin, Thomas and Kerr made j speeches of a similar .character, aud j were most happy in their efforts, , and greeted with great applause. Robbers in Paris recently broke off and stole fifty gilt iron spear-heads of tho railing around the Hotel de 'Vide. Gov. LYON, OF IDAHO, IS AUKEABS. | Tho following from the Washing- ? ton Republicati tells an ugly story for ! a radical Governor: Publication was recently made that i Caleb Lyon, of Lyousdale, New York, j who has been Governor ol' the Terri.- | tory of Idaho for several years past, ! while on his way to this city from j New York, in tho night train,.was : robbed of forty-seven thousand dol? lars, Government funds, which he held as Superintendent of Indian Affairs of that Terrritory. Governor , Lyons says he put thc sam of money ; named in a belt, which, for protection ', sake, should be worn around the ; body; but that when he laid down in the sleeping car he put the belt under | his head; that the thief took the I money and left the belt exactly j where the Governor put it. To say 1 the least, this was a considerate thief who put the belt back under tho j Governor's head. What makes the ; statement about tho loss of the money seoni very strange, is tho fact that Mr. Lj'on should have allowed himself to bring such alargo amount of money upon his person to this ; city. There was no occasion for it. ? Ho could have deposited it in any Government depository and taken a certificate therefor, the' stealing of which would not necessarily have subjected him to the loss, of tho money. It will appear by the record, wo understand, that since July 28, 18G4, the Government has advanced to Superintendent Lyon, at different times, about $100,000, for which, we learn, he ha? never rendered any ac? count whatever. Therefore Gover? nor Lyon will not only have to ac? count to the Government for $47,000 takon from the belt under his head, but for the still larger amount named above, tho disbursement of which thero is no official detail rendering at tho department. Wc certainly hope Governor Lyon will make a satisfactory settlement of tho finan? cial affairs of his administration in Idaho; reference to which we thus allude to publicly, because the sub? ject is a public one, and will pro? bably be brought before the courts at an carly day. . . * < ? ? - - The Alabama Legislature, by ad? journing over for the holidays, put the people of Alabama to an expense of $28,000 ipr what is termed a "frolic," and their course is bitterly condemned by the papers in view of the poverty prevailing in Alabama. THE DELEGATION OF "ONE" SO CALLED-A TRIBUTE TO THH PRESI? DENT.-Tho New York Times refers editorially to tho reported conversa? tion of Senator Weatherly, of South Carolina, with the Presider!, and says: "The President anticipates tho defeat, not the success of thc amend? ment; his influence is exerted to pro? mote its rejection, not its ratification; lie looks to the -Supreme Court to sustain his policy as against tho poli? cy of Congress, and he counsels the Southern Legislatures to pursue a course that will aggravate existing evils, and widen the breach between himself and tho majority in Con? gress." This tribute to tho determination , of the President to abide by the Con? stitution, which he has sworn to sup? port, comes from one of his most overt opponents, and is intended as a warning to the Southern peoplo that he is powerless to help them, and that with Congress alone we must make our peace. The President, the Constitution and the right aro on our sido, and we may reasonably trust to time to ensure the fruition of our hopes and desires. [Charleston Mercury. Tur, SOUTHERN FAIR FOR ORPHANS. Tho Baltimore Sun, of the 3ist, says: On Saturday evening tho fair for the relief of the orphans throughout the Southern States, which has been in successful operation during tho past ton days at Music Hall, on Howard street near Centre, closed with very gratifying results both to tho lady managers and to the chari? table who aided tho benevolent enter? prise. To-morrow evening the grand calico ball, in connection with tho fair, will take place at Music Hall, and is expected to bo a very pleasant affair. Professor Rose's band is an? nounced to be in attendance, and tho lady managers of tho fair will bo in charge of the lunch room, where tho choicest of edibles will be for sale. Maximilian is the subject of "gene al" conversation in Vienna and thc the subject of "General" Bazaine in Mexico. It is reported that the late severe weather in Indiana has materially in? jured the wheat crop throughout the State. Tho latest fashions in Paris is a bonnet with chignon attached, so that a lady buying her bonnet "Can get her back hair long with it. Goon FAKMIN?.-By manuring and careful culture. Dr. Cloud raised 5,898 pounds of cotton to thc acre, on poor, piny-wood laud, in Macon County, Alabama. By thc. same sys? tem. General Dunlap, of Mississippi, picked live pounds of cotton by weight from a single stalk. It does pay to farm well, anywhere, whether in a new or old country. The New Orleans Crescent thus notices the balmy warmth of the at? mosphere of Louisiana, even in mid? winter: "Passing the grocery store of a friend, we saw hundreds of bees hovery around and about a patent glass houey-box, and that, too, on the shady^ side of the street." Tun BANK OP ENGLAND.-The death of the Cashier of the Bank of England, Mr. William Miller, is an? nounced. He was in the fifty-seventh year of his age, after having been in the service of the bank upwards of thirty-seven years. The recent census taken of the city of Mobilo shows it to contain: Whites-males, 2,911; females,2,G15; total whites, 5,520. Colored-males, 3,181; females, 4,335; total colored, 7,530. Total population, 13,002. The Montgomery papers stato that no difficulty is experienced by plant? ers in contracting for labor for the next year, the negroes evencing a will? ingness to enter into equitable agree? ments. It is said that cx-Seeretary Harlan, who went into office as poor as a crow in April, retired worth half a million. He is one of a legion list of patriots who have made loyalty just as profit? able as stealing. Tho London Daily News declares that Spain must apologize to Eng? land for the unlawful seizuro of the British ship Tornado, in October last, and indemnify the owners. New York city polled almost as many votes at tho last State election as the entire Stato of Massachusetts -only 4,000 less. A special Washington despatch says that the President will hereafter refuse the use of tho troops in the Southern States, excerpt in case of riot. barnum is out West, getting a lot of Indians with which to stock a "side show" at the Great Paris Ex? position. Every British steamer built now is on the American model with Scotch engines. flLiiction Sales, ?ALIABLE TRACT OF LAND For Sale.
