Trice $5! per annum, i i , ,1 Foreign and Domestic Commerce From the report of the Secretary of the Treasury we learn that oor exports Of domestic produce, during the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1863, amounted t 05249,856,649, and that our foreign Imports, during the same perjibd, were $262,287,- 687. These imports and exports are, of course, exclusive of the pons and territory held under the llebel nile. The following tables show the im ports and exports since iB6o,'inclusive, More the war commenced:— IMPORTS, [ , Year ending June 30ib, 1860,. Year ending June 30th, ,1861 . Year ending June 30th, 1862... jYear ending June 30th, 1863,. EXPORTS, Year ending June 30th, 1860. ~.$316,242,423 Year ending Juhe 30lh, 1861......;.. 359,920,811 Year ending June 80th, 1862. 181,876,988 jYear ending June 30tb, 1863.' 249,866,049 ; The imports, it will be seen,'reached their highest figure in 1860, and the exports in 1861. The year 1860 and the first half of the fiscal year 1861 embraced the commerce of the whole country, be fore Secession had divided the North and South, and brought on the war. The fiscal years of 1860 and 1861 were ‘remarkable for the amount of breadstuff* shipped to Europe, in consequence qf the failure of the crops, tint! the large export of cotton and tobacco, and during those years the exports nearly balanced the imports, In 1862 the Jtnport* exceeded the exports $123,843,'836, while in 1863 the excess of imports over exports was only $12,430,938. Blitif thevalucpf the exports, are estimated upon our paper currency, about one third will have to be deducted to bring the exports to the gojd standard of the imports,- which would make the value of the'!exports, on that basis. $166,604,432, leaving a balance iigninst us of $96,683,15$ but this balance is $28,160,680 less in 1863 than it was in 1862. : During the whole of 1862 and 1803 (to say nothing of, the fractional part of 1801) the exports and imports, were confined exclusively to the loyal States, and such jiorts in the ’South ips during that time came again into the possession of the Gov ernment. It will be seen, from the above figures, that during the last year: the exports were within $00,385,774 of 1800,-.when the exports of the whole country, North and South, including cotton and tobacco, were footed up in the account, and that, too, in a year in which the exports reached the highest figure ever known, except in 1801.— This shows the growing prosperity of the loyal Spates, even during the war, and proves that their domestic exports are almost equal to the whole of the country before the war, including “king” cot ton and the lijbacco of the South, and this, too, when there was no extra or special demand in the European markets. And for the benefit of grum blers in Europe, we may state that the imports show nearly the same ratio. The difference be tween the imports in 1860, when they reached tl|eir highest figure, with the North nnd South to gether, and 1803, with the .South oft', amounts to only $99,878,007. | The export of specie and'lmltion during the fiscal yiar ending June 30th, amounted to $05,156,010, and the amount imported was $9,555,048, leaving a balance against us of $54,600,962. The following table shows the exports of specie add bullion since 1860, inclusive:— Year ending June 30th,. 1860.. ~..... .$00,540,239 Year ending June 30th, 1861. .i 29,791,080 Year ending June 30th, 1802.,i....... 36,880,950 Year ending June 30th, 1803..; 64,150,010 From the year 1863 nlust be deducted nearly 10,000,000 inqxirted as above stated. It has been supposed by some people that the increase in the export of specie and bullion in 1803 over export of 1802 and 1801 has, in a great measure, caused the great rise in the price of gold, but when we con sider that the increase over 1802 is only $17,713,- 900, the amount appears too small to’ make very much difference, but by no means such a difference as i has ruled in the market dnripg the past year.— The export of specie and bullion, it will be noticed, Jvas greater in 1860 than last year, and it is less in 1863 than it was in nearly every year since 1855 down to 1861 ; and besides during nearly nil that jieriod it was freely used in all our business transactions. The gold mines arc within the Union now as they always have been, and the in crease in the export appears to keep pace with the products of the mines as heretofore. The years 1861 and 1862 are exceptions,: because the’ war during those years had greatly depressed com merce of all kinds. ■ ’ The Cold Weather, i.oi'isvii.i.K. Dec. 31, 9 P.

EftTßAonotsAßy Flight of a Lover.—We have liSand Of wonnderful fish stories, but the fol lowing flying rumor, from the Journal de Constan tinople, must, for the pn&ent, lantt off the banner •for Excelling in the marvellous: 1 Two young men, it is said were travelling in a carriage’, and dis cc«ve|-ed an enormous bird hovering' in the air. They fired »£ the strange creature, and on its de scend intothe water they discovered it was a man withl an enormous pair of witlgs. They took him into their boar, and found him very slightly injured. His cxplanation was that ho had invented the winds, and was ip the habit of flVing from Anti gontj to Flati, to visit a young lady with whom he was deeply enamored, hut whose “ cruel parients" would not permit her to nnirry hftn. Aftei this Herd nod Leanaec ore eclipsed, and the exploit of Byron swimming across the Hellespont j s outdone by tfte flying swain of the Bosphonu, Free Labor for the South. It may seem a little singular that sentiments like the following, which we take from the New Or leans JEW, should be published as far South as Louisiana. Of course it is only very recently that such a tiling could take place, hut its occurrence now is an unmistakable indication of the direction and progress the sentiment of the South is taken. Iris "a proof, and with, others conclusive to onr minds, that a loyal South can only be re-established ii|ion an anti-slavery or nulieul basis, and to that result things are rapidly tending. Tliere.is a great deal of sound philosophy in the extract from the ■Era, which we give below : .$362,166,264 206.819.823 206.819.823 262,287.587 “ I* has generally been believed, heretofore, that the destruction of slavery would impoverish the South, But this is one of ttie popular errors which is destined to be overthrown by the war. The value of slave projierty was mainly fictitious ; for, with the money expended by i lie planter in feeding and subsisting his slaves., smart business man would have procured as much, and perhaps more wo*k bv paid and willing labor. After the slaveowner hail paid Itis thousand or fifteen hundred dollars for his negro, he must feed and clothe him ; and the ex |xmse of this would about balance the. work lie got 1 out of him. Consequently, the use of this thou- ! sand or fifteen hundred dollars was about the same as thrown awhv; and if the negro died or ran off and eseaped, it was gone wholly. There are cer tain principles of common sense that hold good the world over; and spine of these have been, verv strangely overlooked by the advocate of slave labor. Nothing is more-self-evident than that a man will labor more willingly, heartily, efficiently, with the prospect of wages than he will under a whip, with out such prospect. The negroes do not form an exception to this rule. Enslaved and treated as .-brutes, possessing neither the feelings, the holies nor the rights of human lioings, they necessarily become sluggish and debased, mid shirk their task as much as possible. Nothing else could be ex pected ; human nature would be false to herself if , the result were different. But, treated as a hTmiun . being, and properly remunerated for Ins toil, the i negro becomes an effective and willing laborer. Experienee is establishing this truth on the planta tions of Louisiana every day. A planter who loses one hundred negroes may complain that he has lost fifty thousand dollars hut he will learn, if he goes to work properly, that he bus really lost nothing. His plans and business may suffer dis arrangement for a year f but if he will try the free j labor experiment fairly, his supposed loss’can work . him no further harm.” !

General Averill’s Raid, THE QBEAT SUICIDE We quoted, on Saturday, thesiiagnlar acknowl edgment of the Richmond IV/dy, | which, whether stated in irony or bitter despair,! is none the less essentially true — i ‘ Slavery has stabbed itself to death.”. The gods wished' to destroy it, and ren dered it road; and in the ravings bfits insanity it inflicted its own death-wound. Had the South chosen to obey the Constitution and laws, vears would have been added to years tielore slavery would have been ' abolished. 1 The Republican jiarty, acting-in Congress, might have kept it nut of the territories, nud remanded its encroaching spirit back within its own limits; hut there it would have been sacred from all outward interfer- much, as the best friends of the South have always thought, to the detiiraint of even- State that maintained it. Theovert act of rebellion signet! its death warrant, and slavery, ns a system, defied the proclamation of the President; or rather clam orously called it down upon its already devoted heard. I/ms, meth|>horically, at last,; slavery has com mitted suicide, by falling, as 'did: the Neroes and Caliguias of the Roman empire, upon their own swords, when the great doom had come. That A ' e should see it in this light is not jierhaps very remarkable; but the South is beginning to have its eves opened also. North Carolina is awaking to the great conviction. The Raleigh Standani and the Raleigh Prw/ress conic out in favor of President Lincoln’s recent amnesty proclamation, and the North Caroling rimes advises the people to accept i:. European Governments, at first in clined to regard the Rebellion favorably, now give it the cold shoulder. Let us say, in summary, that whatever may happen, slaverv is dead ? beyond hope .of resuscitation; and that the death blow is no work of Noiihern abolitionists; no edict of onr Executive has achieved it. Its death warrant was sounding in the booming notes of the cannon that opened on Fort Sumter, and the final blow was dealt by the hands of those who conceived and wrought out this Rebellion, the most atrocious treason to be recorded in history. Emigration in 1863.—The total number of emigrants who arrived at the port o( New York during the past year was 1 0').223: during 1802 the number was’ 76,300, making a difference of 80,017 in favor of last year. This speaks well for the reputation of our’country abroad and the Tnion cause of the North. Notwithstanding we are engaged in a civilwar, in-putting down the most gigantic rebellion the world ever saw, yet such is the confidence of the people of Eurojie’ in the strength and stability of out Government and the unlimited resources of the country, that they dock to our shores almoNt like bees swarming to a hive filled with honey. If is the land of bread and meat, the land of liberty, and the land where in dustry meets with a fair reward.
