Hffrttwy MeCnlloch thinks it may lono In thirty yearn; a tinnicial writer In the Missouri Jkmocral insists that by keeping up sub'tan tlhlly the present syBUw, the country mav be liberated irora taxii ion in a dozen years.

To tree the country frcm the payment ot interest on this, he would issue $540,M)0,000 of green back, in substitute of the national currency, which he would withdraw. This amount ofcur rency will be required for the business of the country. He argues that by keeping up sub ptniitiuil v the present condition for nine years to rome, the people can pay both interest and prin cipal more easdf than they will oe able to pay the interest only should the cuirencybe con tracted to a specie baeis within two yeurs. That in the meantime, if the Constitution can be so ' amended as to give Comrrefa the power to create a uniform currency without eotublishine banks of deposit, of discount, or of loans, the National banking act now in torce can be repealed, its circulation gradually called in, and thus the aggregate circulation be so gradually contracted as to produce no serious disaster. Then the people would have a currency unitorm in value fit in the l'ruol scot to Astoria, and not difficult to circulate in any part of the globe. It will lie reliable, nd the people can at all times know what to depend upon. Troy Times. ECect of the President's Message Abroad. Extract from a private letter, dated Frankfort-on-thk-SIain, Germany, December 19, 185. The message ot President Johnson has been read with greater interest than any preceding document troin Washington, bankers, merchant, manufacturers, and diplomats a ad ministers at tne Diet have been lor days on the qui Vive to see this important message. Koine timid men were looking tor a war-like, threatening document, which would embroil us at once In a war with England and France. On the arrival of the American mails, several of the editors of ths leading papers were at onco at my ollice lor a copy. It so happened that the ateamer wh'ch brought this Message was a Bos ton one, and the New York Times, usually ahead here In news, did not have it, but a stray copy of the Boston Advocate, sent me by a friend, ot date o( December C, contained it. The editor of the New Fiankfoi t Zeitung (a paper which has always been in our interest) intended translating that long Message into Her man, and publishing it entire by 10 A. M. the next day, though he only got it from me about 8 P. M. I think such an event has never been known here as to publish the Message in full. The peaceable and conciliatory tone of the Message had a good effect on the Bourse, and our stocks went up to about 70, which U fully two per cent, above New York. The opera tions in them continue large, and everybody who can spare a hundred tlonns or so buys a United States bond. Small bonds, of the denomi nation of $50 or $100, are on tois account some what higher than larue bonds generally at least half per cent, higher. People generally holding Austrian stocks are selling out and buy ing American. The transactions at the Bourse here are larger in our stocks than in those of any otner country. Letter from Mrs. Jcflerson Davis. The following letter has been addressed by JAtb. Jefferson Davis to the Secretary and Agent ol the Ladies' Southern Association : Mill Vibw, Ga., December 4. My Dear Sir: I am in receipt ot your very kind letter in the name of the Ladies' Southern Aid Association, having "for its object the purpose of placing" me "and family in circumstances somewhat commensurate with their estimate ot" me and mine, und begging that I will, at my earliest convenience, designate a place to which the means so collected may be conveyed, so thai thev mav "safeiv and satisfactorily" reach me. From our desolated and impoverished friends 1 scarcely expected such an expression of mate rial sympathy, though my powers of gratitude have been almost daily taxed to thank those who have, with so much heart eloquence, pleaded with the President tor him who, though unsuc cessful, has given you all he could his best energies and whose only hope of future happi ness lies in the sweet trust, otten expressed, (hat he has not lost your coundenae and 1 ve. Igno rant of all which his own people have done for him in his painful captivity, his devotion is unabated. " The unfortunate have always been deserted and betrayed, but did ever man have less to complain of when he had lost the power to serve? The multitude are silent. Why should they speak, save to Him who hears best the words most secretly uttered? My own heart tells me the sympathy exists that the prayers of the family hearth are not hushed. Be loving and confiding still to those trom whom J have received much more than I deserve ; far more official honors than ever deolred. Those for whone cause I suffer are not unworthy of the devotion of all which I had to give." This is the messenger of love which is tent through prison gates to our own people. I eay our people, because both of us have been brought up with you: one of us was born in Mississippi, th other came to her in infancy. These are my own people, and it is a privilege of which no change ot circumstances can de prive me. To the accepted prayer of our widows and orphans, our sutt'eriuir but heroic women, our brave and true men, our innocent little children, I look for the restoration to my lit tle children ot their agoni.ed but Christian lather. If a merciful providence so ordain it, we hope to live and die among you, mutually consoling and bearing each other's burdens. I pray God we may be restored to the home of ourchilduood'for how can we sing our own song in a strange land?" We would not have our dear friends betrayed by their sympathy in offering, for our use, "too much from their own "basket and store." 1 and mine have so far been miraculously cared for and shielded from want. We seem ever environed by the love which Is reflected upon us trom that which lighted my husband in his dim peon softened his prison walls with sunny pictures of loving eyes and outstretched arm. Oriel and gratitude seem to impose upon me silence. I would, but caunot say more. I will inclose within this note the names and direc tions of gentlemen to whom the contributions of which you speak may be inclosed. And instead of the eloquent voice which so often has poured forth his love to his dear people, now mute, I odVr a wife's and mother's and a coun trywoman's gratitude lo you and those you rep resent. I have the honor to be, verv gratefully and fcinccrely yours, Vauina Davis. Crime in New York. Friitn the AVto York Herald of yesterduy.

Professor Brunnow, an American citlx.en by adoption, has been appointed Astronomer lioyal for Ireland and Professor of Astronomy in Trinity College, Dublin, in place of Sir William Hamilton, deceased. This appointment is ore of the highest in the astronomical world. It Is the more honorable, as it is probably the tirst instance of a foreigner receiving an appointment of this kind in the United Kingdom. Professor Brunnow has been spending the winter at Ber lin with his father-in-law, Professor II. P. Tap pan. Professor Brunnow was formerly con nected with the Dudley University and "lately Director of the Observatory ot the Michigan Slate University. He is probably one of the bet of our livinirustrorjomers. l'rotessor Henry, of Newburg, New York, being on a visit to Paris, called on the philoso pher, YictoriConsin. They had been correspond ing tor over thirty ears past, but had never met before. Professor Henry translated Cousin's "I'stcoloay," wuirh became a text-book in many of o"ur colleees. The meeting is described as a very cardial one. lie talked much of America and its universities, of our war, etc. etc. He compluined that Frofcrsor Henry and Pro fessor Henry P. Tappan, late Chancellor of the University of Michigan, should remain idle when they could, at tile head of miiversitie, do so much pood, lie said he had intended writing to America to a-k that both these scholars Bhould at once be placed at the heal of scientific institutions. Both Proicssor Henry and Dr. Tappan were onco conuected with the New York University. . Dr. Henry, on account of ill health, was compelled to resign, and Dr. Tappan was Chancellor ot the University of Michigan, w hich he resiened on account of a difficulty with some of the Regents. The University lost by his resignation a ripe scholar. Dr. Tappan is a. member of the Institute of France.

Death ol Sir Charles Eastlake. This celebrated painter died at Pisa, in Italy, on the 24th of December, at the age of seventy iwo. He was the son of an English solicitor, was educated at the Charter House School, where Thackeray also began his education, and began his studies as an artist, when yet a youth, under Fuseli. His first picture which attracted atten tion was "The Raising of Jairus' Daughter," which was purchased by a worthy connoisseur, Mho afterwards employed Eastlake in copying from the Louvre. Eastlake saw Napoleon Bona parte on shipboard, and made sketches which he afterwards elaborated into a full-length por trait. From 1817 to 1820 Mr. Eastlake travelled through Italy and Greece, and dufmg several years following painted a large number of pic tures suggested D.y nts journey, ot wiucn nia "fii grims Arriving in Sight of Rome" was the roost sucesslul. Inlh27hewas elected an associate of the royal academies. Of the manv works of his maturer life, several have been reproduced In engravings, and have thus attained a wide and genuine popularity. "Lhnst weeping over Jerusalem" will in this style be found in many American homos. in 1850 Eastlake, who had been made a baro net, was elected President of the Royal Academy, and in 1856 was appointed director of the Na tional Gallery. As a writer he is known by his translation of "Gnlhe on Color," his "Notes to Kugler's Handbook of Painting." and his contrl-' butions to the "History of Oil Painting." For several months back he had been in Italy tor his health, which was so poor that the news of his death created great regret yet but little surprise. The Boston Books lor General Grant.
