The Postal Service.—During the whole time that the rebel States were beyond our military lines, the, management of the United States postal department paid expenses, and showed a surplus. No sooner do they come back to us again, and have to be provided for by our national g overnment, than the De partment begins to be a losing concern. Thus the annual report of the Postmaster General shows that during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1866, the receipts of the Depart ment were $14,386,986,. and the' "expendi tures $15,352,079, showing a- deficiency of $965,091—The public debt on the Ist of the month was $2,684,995,875. The cash in the Treasury a mountedi to $135,364,637, of which $95,168,816 was coin. IMM' CONORESS.—Second Session. Senate.—Dec. 4.—By unanimous consent, a resolution of inquiry into the advertising patronage:of the ]xecutive was pressed. A resolution in regard to the withdrawal of French troops from Mexico was passed for immediate consideration, but was referred back to the committee. ?he Senate also re fused to pass the Hops e - bill restricting the President's power to grant pardons and sent l it it to committee. Adj , ed. Dec. s.—Mr. 11 7 ,0 Ohio, introduced a bill for the admission ebraska into the Union. The various s ncling committees were then chosen. Inthe new arrangement of the committees, Mtssrs. Cowan Doolittle and Dixon lose their chairmanships. The bill depriving the President of the power of pardon under the amnesty claim was re ferred to the Judiciary Committee. Mr. Sumner's resolutions on reconstruction were ordered to be printed. House resolution re viving the Reconstruction Committee was concurred in. Dec. 6.—The House bill, depriving the President of the amnesty power, was re ported favorably by 'the Judiciary: Commit tee, and Mr. Trumbull asked its Immediate consideration. This was objected to by Mr. Hendricks, of Me., and the bill went over. Mr. Wilson, of Mass., gave notice that next week he would call up the joint resolution prohibi ting military organizations in the rebel States. Dec. 10.—The Committee on Retrench ment reported a bill to regulate the tenure of certain civil officers, appointees of the Presi dent; made the order for Thursday. The Elective Franchise in the District was taken up. The Committee on the District reported a substitute, restricting the right of suffrage to loyal persons and making it otherwise universal. Mr. Wiley, of West Virginia, proposed another substitute, allowing rebels to vote, and introducing the qualifications of ability to read and write and payment of taxes. The clause allowing rebels to vote was stricken out without debate. Finally, the whole proposition of Mr. Willey was rejected by 40 to 1; and after further debate on the Committee's substitute, the Senate adjourned. House.—Dec. 4.—The bill amendatory of the Bank and Currency Act was postponed to the third Tuesday in December. The Committee on Military Affairs was instructed to inquire into the expediency of amending the additional' bounty act. A resolution was adopted, 119 to 32, affirming, in response to that portion of the President's message which relates to thew communities that have claimed to be the Confederate States of America, that this house find in the many acts of disloyalty that have transpired in those communities since the last adjournment, as well as in what has since transpired at the North, additional reasons for the adoption' of the constitutional amendments, before considering the propriety of giving to those communities congressional representation. Resolutions were adopted looking to the es tablishment of territorial governments among the seceded States ; reappointing the Joint Committee onßeconstruction; inquiring of the Postmaster General and the President, in regard to removals from office by the President; calling for information on the pre sent status of Mexican affairs; &c., were passed. In the course of a personal expla nation Mr. Boutwell said, he had good reason to believe as early as May last the executive department of this government had knowledge of where Suratt was. He had not said at the caucus on Saturday night, nor had he said any where, nor would he say now, that the gov ernment had been at fault in notprocuring Suratt's arrest ; but when he left Washing ton in July last he did expect that very soon the country would hear that the arrest of Suratt had been made, and when week after week and month after month passed and no word came of the arrest having been made he said in a public speech what he said now again; that he had good reason to believe that the government had long had knowledge of the whereabouts of Suratt. He now de sired toesay, further, that the correspondence in relation to the matter had been called for, and on its appearance the country would see whether the executive department had in fact had that knowledge for so long a time or not, and they would see also whether the government had taken such means as were necessary or advisable to procure the early arrest of Suratt. Upon that point he had no' information whatever, and if upon the publics: tion of the correspondence it should appear that he had been mistaken, no person in the House or in the country would be more ready to retract what he had said. He would take this occasion to say a word, aside from the matter of Suratt. While e was op posed to the President and his policy, he would make no war upon either that he did not consider fair and legitimate. He would not attempt, either in the House or else where, either to misrepresent or abuse the President; but what he did mean to attempt and perform to the extent of his ability was to ascertain whether the President of the United States had been true in his great office. To that inquiry he intended to bring, as other members would bring, a judicial mind. If upon inquiry it should appear that the President had been true, no representa tive, no citizen, would more readily or more cheerfully recognize the fact; but if on-the other hand it should appear that the Presi dent had been false to his trust, he (the speaker) as a citizen and a representative would endeavor to perform faithfully his whole duty to the country. Dec. s.—Mr. Williams, of Pa., moved to reconsider the vote recommitting, on the 11th of June last, the bill regulating appoint ments to and removals from office, and read a written argument in 'support of the bill. The motion was carried, and some amend ments affixing penalties for violation of ,the act were offered. The bill and amendments were made the dpecial order for Thursday. Dec. 6.—Mr. Eliot, of Massachusetts, of fered ,a resolution, which was adopted, pro viding for a committee of three to investigate the New. Orleans riots. The Judiciary Com mittee *ere directed to inquire into the expediency of a law to more effectually punish bribery at elections, and to make persons who purchase votes ineligible to office. A committee was appointed to inves tigate the murder of three TJ.S. soldiers in South Carolina on the sth of October, 1865. The, Judiciary Committee were instructed to mort a bill excluding ex-rebels from'suffrage THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1866. in the District of Columbia. A bill of last session, in relation to the Territory of Utah, was called up for the purpose of reference. It is a very important measure. Under the simple title of a bill to provide for the selec tion of grand and petit jurors, it proposes really to abolish Polygamy. Among other things, it prohibits the solemnization of matrimony by Mormon priests, and commits that office to the Judges of the United States Court in the District. It also annuls a number of laws of .the Territory, under which Brigham Young claims possession of lands, water-courses, etc., belonging to the United States. Dec. 10.—The Committee on Pensions were instructed to inquire whether pension ers whose'names were stricken from the rolls on account of participation in the rebellion have been restored, and by whose authority. The President was requested to furnish a list of the names of Rebels pardoned by him since April 15th, 1865, with the rea sons therefor, and the names of the parties on whose solicitation the _pardons were granted. The Committee of Ways and Means were instructed to inquire into the propriety of reducing or abolishing the internal revenue tax on manufactures. A resolution was of fered declating that the proposition that the war debt of the country should be extin guished by the generation that contracted it, was not sustained by the principles of econo my. A motion to table it was lost, and it was referred to the Committee of Ways and Means. The bill to fix the times for the re gular meeting of Congress, on the 4th day of March in each year, was taken up and passed —yeas 127, nays 30. BY THE ATLANTIC CABLE.

Arrests still continue to be made, and more artillery will leave for Ireland soon. FOREIGN. Mexico.—The city of Matamoras was oc cupied, Nov. 26th, by United States troops under General Sedgwick. The next morning Escobedo's forces attacked the city, but were repulsed by Canales, after which General Sedgwick withdrew his forces outside the city. Gen. Sedgwick's action was contrary to the orders of General Sheridan, but was done on the ground that the lives and pro perty of the American residents might be protected. Gen. Sedgwick has been removed by Gen. Sheridan. On the 30th of November, subsequent to the reception of Gen. Sheridan's despatches, Gen. Sedgwick appointed J. L. Sheridan, a civilian, a Commissioner, and demanded the surrender of Canales and his troops of war to the United States. Canales replied that he would rather surrender to Escobedo, and did so, Gen. Sedgwick agreeing. The two Mexican chiefs then joined their forces, amounting to 4000, for operations against the common enemy. Minister Bigelow's reply to Mr. Seward's cipher despatch to the French Emperor was received Dec. 4. It is as follows :--" In answer to a verbal communication the Minis ter of Foreign Affairs, M. Moustier, writes me to-day that 'France has not changed her resolution, but that on military considerations she has deemed it expedient to substitute one comprehensive evacuation for an evacuation in separate parts. All ,of our troops will leave .Mexico in the month of March." The Washington special despatches to the Tribune, Dec. 10th, say :—The President is ,displeased with the tenor of Napoleon's reply to the telegram from the State Departmnt calli upon him to fulfil lits , .prothise 'aria withdraw his troops' fromMetco in install- ments. The Cabinet, with one exception, it is understood, side with the President. It is considered doubtful, however, whether any further remonstrance will be made, and the probabilities are that the French', Emperor will be allowed to have his own way. Indi rectly it is hinted that Napoleon's action in i i refusing to withdraw was mainlybecause of what he regards as a violation of e pledge of, neutrality and non-interferer on our part, his position being that by th arrest of Gen. Ortega, the despatch of Gen. herman, and other objectionable movemints, our pledge of neutrality was broken, and the compact therefore is withdrawn, rendered null and void. Napoleon havinKchanged the time for the evacuation of the French troops from Mexi can soil, and the ports of Mexico being still blockaded by France, a question has arisen whether the United States man-of-war can land Gen. Sherman and Minister Campbell. It is-asserted that the probabilities are that the vessel will remain in Mexican waters until advices reach there from our own and the French Governments. The Distillers in trouble again -It looks as if there was going to be no erill to the distillery seizures for defrauding the revenue. in a single day no fewer than fifty small concerns have been pounced upon in Col lector Wood's district, (Brooklyn), all charged with manufacturing whisky and selling it without paying the tax; , " ECCE Homo" has reached its twelfth thousand in England, and• the demand still continues. ' The author's name is not yet known ; but if he prefers profit to fame, he is probably satisfied, for it is announced that his publishers have already paid him $30,000. A MERCANTILE TRIUMPH, No inventioriof a similar labor-saving charac ter ever resulted in the same practical benefits to the people, or has come into such general use as that wonderfully simple piece of mechan ism—the Sewing Machine. What could we do without it? Where would we now find hands enough to accomplish the labor which these busy little workers are doing? These axe questions which determine the usefulness of an invention, and by theixi we may guagelthe im- portance of Sewing Machines. The hil3tory of this discovery is full of interest. As early as 1836; an ingenious and prolific inventor, named Walter Hunt, of New York, invented the first machine that was of any practical value for sewing. Being of a rather indolent disposition, and disinclined to undertake the labor of in troducing so novel an invention into general use, he neglected to patent his discoveri; and sold the right to manufacture such machines to a Mr. Arrowsinith, who, however, neglected to test the practical value of his purchase or to secure it bra patent. Six years elapsed before any further action was taken toward the introduction of Sewing machines, and then, on the 12th of February, 1842, the first Americn patent was granted to John J. Greenough, of Washington. The next recorded attempt at an application of the idea was made and patented by Benjamin W. Bean, of New York. In the same year (1843) a Sewing Machine was patented by Geo. Corlies, of Greenwich, N. • Y., but no one seems to know much about it; an evidence that its practical value was small. These abortive attempts had the effect, however, of calling the attention . of inventors to the subject of Sewing Machines, and on the 10th of September, 1846, Elias Howe, r., of Cambridge, Mass., patented the first Sewing Machine capable of being im proved so as to be adapted to general use. Although the machine patented by Mr. Howe would now be considered worthless, if com pared with the more recent inventions of others, yet he stands at the door of the Sewing Machine business, as it were, and levies a tax of one dollar on each finished machine in which the principles he invented are used. A fortune closely approaching two million of dollars has thus been accummulated by Mr. Howe—a very fair return, considering the fact that the Howe Machine has been left far behind by those whose subsequent inventions have effected a revolution in the manufacture of clothing, shirts, caps, boots, shoes, embroidery, and house-furnishing goods. • The utility of a Sewing Machine for family use depends upon its adaptability to the greatest variety of work; and this article would be in-. I complete, if, after tracing the rise and progress of the idea, we should fail to point out, from ameng the many varieties, the one that comes nearest to perfection and combines the greatest number of useful qualities. For certain kinds of work there may be machines more peculiarly adapted than others; but for all the number less requirements of a family, we unhesitatingly pronounce the smoothly, silently, and swiftly running Grover & Baker Machine the best. One great advantage is, that the thread is drawn direct from the spools, and requires no previous winding on shuttles; and the simpli city of all its parts and the easy adjustment of needle, thread and work, make it more readily comprehensible to the learner than any we have yet seen. Another important fact is, that they perform, without an alteration of the adjust ment, a much greater variety of work than is' possible on others. We might thus enumerate quality after quality in our own way, but we think we do the inventors and makers full justice, and at the same time relate our experi ence in terms which there is no mistaking, when we say that the Grover & Baker Machine may be chosen as the best, simplest, and most reliable Sewing Machine in the market. The trade in these necessities, which have now become so indispensable, is assuming gigantic proportions. Grover & Baker alone send many thousands to foreign markets, and this popularity abroad is an evidence of their merit and superiority. American Sewing Machines are used all over the world, and, like American pianos, have furnished the principles which have been adopted by a great majority of foreign manufacturers.—New York Citizen.

This picture has been engraved at great expense, specially for THE LITTLE CORPORAL, and is one of the best engravings ever produced in this country. The Bank Note Company who produced it. say they would not duplicate it for less than two thousand dollars. It excels the German engraving of ,Steinles, which sells for $3 per copy_ Our price is $2. For a short time we shall offer it as a premium as follows: We will send the picture of THE HEAVENLY CHERUBS to every subscriber who will renew his own subscrip tion to THE CORPORAL for the nextyear, and also send the names of two other subscribers, at the regular price of one dollar a year. Or to every one who will send-three new subscribers at one time. The pictures will be sent on rollers, postage paid. As an inducement for persons to subscribe nom, and thus help you get the picture, you may tell them that all who subscribe thus will not only receive THE Con- PORAL all next year, but will receive the remaing num bers of the pear 1866 free. We believe this to be the most liberal offer ever made by any periodical ror so small an effort. We have several reasons for making it; one is, that we want all THE CORPORAL'S children to have this superb engrairing ; another is, that we want our new for next year to begin coming in now, for convenience in arranging our mail list for January; another is, that we want to double our large list at once; and another is, that the distribution in this way of a few copies o this picture in every neighborhood, will show the people how desirable it is, and help agents largely in making sale-, as this magnificent engraving wilt take the place of the poor, cheaply made picture_ which are bought everywhere. PHILADELPHIA As Premiums for large lists Send for the October Number, which tells about it. • Families who wish to have the sweet harmony of a first- class instrument, will find this a rare opportunity to procure it. Schools can thus provide their scholars with Tug LITTLE CORPORAL for a Year, and receive an Organ or Melodeon free.
