SOUTHERN MATTERS-A GRIEVOUS OUT LOOK.-To the careful student of affairs the prospect South seems gloomy enough. Virginia, deeply in debt, shows sorrow, courage and despair, but enough of life left to keep her chin above water. And Virginia has been better governed and is in a better condi? tion than any other Southern State. North Carolina is in political tumult aud financial misery. South Carolina is torn with political dissensions, and has been a prey to rasoals, who, "though gorged to the throat with prey, are lean and ra? venous still." Georgia bau the benefit of a change in the channel of trade or the State wontd be poorer than the field hands io her rioe swamps. She has been robbed and insulted by the men she trusted. Florida has nothing to say, but would sell ont oheap. She has almost lost hope. Alabama and Mississippi and Tennessee have been robbed and scourged. Arkansas has been robbed, is being robbed, and there seems to be no futura for her. Louisiana is helpless as a child against her persecutors, and Texas i j ready to submit tamely to au y new dogma ttfat may be proposed. [ \Vas7i. Cor. If eta York Journal Com. PASSAGE OP A MUCH NEEDED LAW. Heretofore, whenever the holder of a chock issued by a disbursing officer of the Government lost said note, he had no relief, as tho law did not uuthorize tho issuance- of a duplicate cheek. A j law, just passed by both houses of Con? gress, provides for tho issue of duplicate checks after the expiration of six months from tho date of the originals, and tho Treasurer aud Assistant Treasurers ore directed to pay them upon notice and proof of the loss of the original chocks. Should the amount of the oheok exceed $10,000 no duplicate check can be isaced, and the holder has no relief. The Trea? sury Department has heretofore been put to much trouble by persons whose checks had been lost, stolou or destroyed, but this new law simplifies the matter, aud relieves both tho department and the owners of ohocks. COME TO GRIEP.-Aud now the two TreuBory clerks who poached on Grant about his indebtedness to the Govern? ment have como to grief. A Washington letter says: Tho two clerks, Hunt and Groeti, of tho Third Auditor's office, who wore so in discreet as to disclose tho fact that tho re? cords in their division showed tho Presi? dent to bo iu arrears to the United States in tho sum of $5,000, and tho Third Au? ditor $5500, have paid tho penalty for telling family secrets. They have beeu summoned before tho Govern mont exe outiouer, und informed that they "had uo right to know anything outside of their official duties; therefore, the Go? vernment could dispense with their ser? vices." Tho Third Auditor is a Now Hampshire carpet bugger, but appointed from North Carolina. He hus refunded, and so hus tho President. "Let us have peace."

THE DISPERSION OF THE JEWS.-The Algemeine Zielung gives some interest? ing particulars as to the dispersion of the Jews over the world. In Palestine, they have long been reduced to a very small proportion of their former num? bers. They are now most numerous in the Northern part of Africa, between Morocco and Egypt, (where, especially in the Barbary States, they form the chief element of the population,) and ia that strip of Europe whioh extends from the lower Danube to the Baltic. In the latter region, there are about 4,000, 000 Jews, most of whom are of the middle olasa among the Slavonic nation? alities, while in the whole of Western Europe there are not 100,000 of them. Io consequence of European migrations, descendants of these Jews have settled in America and Australia, where they are already multiplying in tbe large commercial towns in tbe same manner aa in Europe, and muoh more rapidly than tho Christian population. Tho Jewish settlers in Northern Africa ate also increasing so moah that they con? stantly spread farther to the Booth. Timbuoto bas, since 1858, been inha? bited by a Jewish colony of traders. The other Jews in ?frica are the Falasohas, or' Abyssinian black Jews, and a few European Jews at the Cape of Qood Hope. There are numerous Jewish co? lonies in Yemen and Nedscbran, in West? ern Arabia. It haa long been known that there are Jews in Persia and countries on the Euphrates; iu the Turcoman countries, they inhabit the four fortresses of Soheriscbs, Kitub, Schumatan and Urta Kurgan, and thirty small villages, resid? ing in u separate quarter, but treated on an equal looting with the other inhabi? tants, though they have to pay higher taxes. There aro also Jews in China, aud in Cochin China there are both white and black Jews. Tho white Jews have a tradition, according to whioh, in the year 70, A. ?>., their ancestors were 10,000 Jews who settled nt Cranganore, on tho coast of Malabar, ofter the de? struction of the Temple cf Jerusalem. The Jews remained at Cranganore until 1565, when they were driven into the interior by the Portuguese. The black Bettlern are supposed to be native pro? selytes, nud have a special synagogue of their owu. lea BOATS.-Probably the swiftest lo? comotion possible to man without too muoh risk in life is th'at achieved by what uro termed "ice boats." On the Hudson Biver, near Poughkeepsie, the other day, one of these boats, tho river heilig frozen over to tbe depth of seve? ral inches, sailed for a distance of eight miles. Thia distance was made in the extraordinary time of eight minutes. Tbe wind was blowing a gale, and the boat carried full sail. To say that it went with the swiftness of tho wind would fail to express ita rat ) of Bpeed. The men on board-five in number could burdly see, owing to their rapid motion; theil eyes were greatly affected, and water flowed freely from them. Like tho traditional Dutchman with a cork leg, no sooner did tho "Whiz" the appropriate name of the boat-make ber appearance ut a given point than, like a flush, the astonished observers on shore, in a few seconds' time, saw ber speeding a half a mile away. What is curions, too, about these boats is, that they tack and "stand" off and on as readily aa a vessel sailing upon the water. Were nuoh a thing possible os the freezing over of the Atlantic ooean, one might reach Europe in one of these vessels, tho winds fuvoring, in some? thing more than a doy and night. A enri?os snbjeot for reflection in a con? sideration of bnman possibilities! DISATPKAKANOE OF A CITY.-Tho Bne nos Ayres Slundnrd, of November 30, gives further intelligence than that re? ported by telegraph of the late disas? trous earthquake at Salta. On the 22d of Ootober, at ll o'clock P. M., when most of the inhabitants of the doomed town of Oran had retired to their honans, the first shock was felt. Tho greatest terror at once prevailed, and the people rushed madly into the streets; few bud gone to bed, as, for hours before, a dull, rumbling noise had been beard in the distance, and all feared that it portended some unusual catastrophe. The shooks oontinned nt intervals for nearly nine hours, during which time forly distinct movements of tho earth were felt. Tho pavement of tho streets was split open now hero, now there-and the houses fell in confused heaps of ruins. There is only one death to record, that of Sr. Beyes, and some contusions to other persons. Moat nf tiwi inhabitants rushed out to tho camp after the li cst shock, and so saved their lives, but the towu of Oran may bo considered ns totally de? stroyed. Gen. Ewell WM sick fifteen days with typhoid pneumonia. Wheu told that he could not Hurvive, bo remarked with tho calmness characteristic of him: "I don't want any monument raised ovor mo only ti plain head nnd foot-stone, like those over tho graves of my father and mother, in Virginia. My rank while in the Confederate service might be in? scribed on omi of thc stones; but I wish nothing in tho inscription which will cast auy reflection upon the Government of the United States." Gen. Ewell hud been in tho habit of wearing u pair of blue infantry punts, which he lind pur? chased subsequent to tho war. Upon one occasion, not long before his death, und when ho could speak only with the greatest difficulty, ho paid of them: "Aller nil my lighting against the United Stales so long, it ie strange that un tdd pair of infantry punts should kill me ut last." He attributed his death to having put {bein on dot ing i in? cadd weather, after having worn ti much tnicker pair. -? . ? "Those who buy tomb stones of UH look with pride lind satisfaction nu the graves of their friends," is the advertise meut of a Western stone-cutter.

The New York Sun says: "Brother Cooper singled ont his man, and jerked bim to the door, when the two fell out across the stoop into the door-yard in a close embrace, with Methodism on top: Without wait* icg to see the result of this exit, Brother Fisher followed with another son of Belial, who also went under. Then came Brother Hiuohman with his man, and the other brethren with their men, and soon the door yard was filled full of sin and iniquity tupped off with belli? gerent WeBleyism in full vigor. Dark? ness reigned in that door-yard, and fists rained also, the darkness and th" light for the once being both the same to the good disciples of fighting Christianity who knew what they bad hold of. But the darkness was soon dispelled by the glare of kerosene lamps held by the sis tors on the door-steps, when the one sidedness of the contest was seen, and the brethren let op. Strange to say, not one of the good men was scratched, though their clothes were sadly torn and sopped with mud. But those wicked young men presented a sad sight. Their countenances were torn and bleeding, and among them all scarcely a complete suit of clothes remained."

He bas procured an estimate from the Commis? sioner of Pensions that the effect of tho ubove amendment will involve an ex? penditure of 832,600,000, "oue-fonrth of whioh, he says, will find its way into the pockets of thieves aod vagabonds in the shape of claim agents."
