tor the purpose of securing their preservation. Since my last annual message, the Presi dent of the United States has fallen a victim to the most foul and base assassination re corded in history. It will afford me pleasure and I will heartily unite with yon in any ex pression of indignation at the crime, and of appreciation of the public virtue and services of i victim, Abraham Lincoln. My uniform course during the late war, was to avoid the discussion of the policy of the General Government, while giving a hearty support to the National authorities in all their measures to suppress this rebellion. I shall continue to pursue the same course during the embarrassments necessarily con nected with the entire restoration of the coun try,—The principles expressed in the message of the President, at the commencement of the session of Congress, will receive my cordial support. During the last five years the people of this Statj have suffered deeply from the ca lamities of war. Thousands of her men have been slain, and others are maimed and bro ken. Almost every family has been stricken and everywhere there are widows and or phans, many of them helpless and in poverty. It is a subject of sincere congratulation, that peace has at last returned. I am not aware of the existence of any dif ficulty with other nations which may not be amicably adjusted, and therefore- venture to express the hope that long years of tranquili ty and happiness are before us. A. G. CUICITX. Labor Saving—Labor Making. Labor saving implements were once tho't to be destructive to the interests of the work ing man, just in proportion as they saved the drudgery of labor. This seems reasonable a tirst, but a little thought will correct the er ror. How then do the farm laborers, thrown out of work by the introduction of improved implements, ultimately find work? Plaiuly by the increased amount of tillage which horse power, machinery and tools make possible in the country. In a section where all the soil is under cultivation of seme kind, it will lead to more thorough systems of farming. In the case of our own country, it leads to the faster extension of civilization westward, the rapid subjugation of wild lands, and the better cul tivation of that already under tbe plow. Por instance, the Western grain grower, who now devotes 75 to ldO acres to corn and other grain crops, with the meager facilities of thirty years ago, could not have managed one fourth that amount in a similar manner. This increase of agriculture, not only keeps good the original number of farm laborers, but creates a new demand for laborers iu every other field of industry. More ships and rail roads are required for transportation, more manufacturing establishments, more mechan ics to construct these, aud men to manage them, more miners, machinists, etc. In fact, the whole body politic thus receives vital re freshment from every really labor-saving in vention. This is a forcible illustration of the fact that whatever fairly advances the inter ests of one class, becomes a benefit to all classes in the community.— Amer. Agricul turist. A WIFE IS TROUBLE.— 'Pray tell me, my dear what is the cause of those tears?' "Oh, such a disgrace!" "What is it my dear? don't keep me in sus pense." "Oh, I hare opened one of your letters sup posing it to be addressed to myself. Certain ly it looked more like Mrs. than Mr." "Is that all? What harm can there be in a wife opening her husband's letters?" "No harm in the thing itself, but the con tents. Such a disgrace!" "Who has dared to write me a letter unfit to be read by my wife?" "Oh no, it is couched in the most beautiful language, but the contents!" the contents!" Here the wife buried her face in her hand kerchief and commenced sobbing aloud; while iur husband eagerly caught up the let ter and commenced reading tne epistle that had nearly broken his wifes heart. It was a bill from the printer for two years, subscrip tion to the town paper. THE Suffrage Bill, which passed the House last week, will probably come before the Senate after the Freednian's Bill is disposed of. There is. of course, no question of its passage, nor is there anv doubt among those best informed at Washington, that it will re ceive the President's signature. Some of the democrats affect to believe that it will be vetoed, as some northern journals, which are not democratic, would persuade the Presi dent that that would be a popular measure on his part. He probably knows better, and will give his assent to a bill which has the universal approbation of loyal Northern people.—JVT Y. Trlb. As English novelist, Mrs, Edwards, uses this illustration in a recent work, "All day long, like an overseer in a Massachusetts cot ton field, Claude passes to and fro between the oountry roads and vineyards." Correct ideas about us these English writers have. WILMINGTON. N. C., Jan, 23,—The county court of Sampson county sentenced a neqro charged with drawing a pistol on a white man to be sold to servitude, Major Wickersham, of the freedmen's bureau, in thia district ordered the court and all parties concerned to be placed in arrest and brought to this city for investigation. ADVICES from Russia indicate that there will be within a comparatively short period, a system of National representation; in other words, a Russian Parliament. The question is only how far the present generation is fit ted for this change. SOME sensation was created in New York on Tuesday, on the fact that a steamer left that port flying the flag of the "New Irish Republic." It turns out however, that the supposed Fenian privateer was a new pilot boat on her trip, and that the "sun burst" banner was innocently hoisted by the Hiber nian crew. ANOTHER counterfeit greenback $lO bill has made its appearance. The signatures of Spinner and Chittenden are good, but the portrait of Mr. Lincoln is coarse, and the fcill generally much heavier in appearance than the genuine. IN Missouri and Arkansas there are thirty two negro schools, with forty teachers and 2,827 scholars. THE widow of the late Gen. Michael Ran del. died suddenly in York borough on Sun day last. She was attacked witn paralysis in the street, and expired in a few minutes afterwards. THE Louisville Democrat , the organ of the pro-slavery men of Kentucky, say that no race of men could have behaved better than the negroes during the trying scenes of the white men's insurrection. THERE is not a word of truth in the state ment that Chief Justice Chase had petitioned the Governor of New York for the pardon ofKetchum, the gold check forger. A VERY mean thief has beeu detected stealing currency from the box placed in the Patent Office to receive contributions for The NEW YORK TRIBUNE. 1866- Our most momentous, arduous straggle having resulted ir, the triumph of American Nationality, the utter discomfiture and overthrow of Secession and Slavery, Tan Tribuxi, profoundly rejoicing in this result, will labor to conserve the legitimate fruits of this grand, benignant victory by render ing Liberty end Opportunity the eommon heri tage of the whole American People now and ever more. Discountenancing ail unmanly exultation over or needless infliction of pain or privation on the upholders of the lost cause, it will insist on the earliest possible restoration of the Southern States to their former power and influence in our Union on the basis of All Rights for All their People. It will labor in hope to prove that the substitu tion of Free for Slave Labor must inevitably and universally conduce to the increase of Industry, Thrift, Prosperity and Wealth, so that the South, within the next ten years, must look back amazed on her long persistence in a practice so baleful us the chattelizing of Man. It will labor for the diffusion of Common School Education, .Manufactures, the Useful Arts, Ac., Ac., throughout every portion of our country, bat especially throughout the sections hitherto devoid ot them, believing that every good end will there by be subserved and the interest of every useful and worthy class promoted. It will urge the Protection of Home Industry by discriminating duties on Foreign Products im ported, with a view to drawing hither the most capable and skillful artificers and aitisans of Eu rope, and the naturalizing- on our soil of many branches of production hitherto all but confined U> the Old World, while it would strengthen and extend those which have already a foothold among us. It will give careful attention to progress and improvement in Agriculture, doing its best at once to bring markets to the doors of our farmers and teach them how to make the most of the op portunities thus afforded them. It will devote constant attention to Markets, es pecially for Agricultural Products, with intent to save buth producer and consumer from being vie utilized by the speculator and forestalier. And, giving fair scope to Current Literature, to the proceedings of Congress, and to the general ; .Yews of the Day, it hopes to retain its old patrons and attract many new to bear them company.

For any one of the Reviews $4.60 For any two of the Reviews 7.00 " For any three of the Reviews 10.00 " For all four of the Reviews 12.00 " For Blackwood's Magazine 4.00 " For Blackwood and any one Review... 7.00 " For Blackwood and two of the Reviews 10.00 " For Blackwood and three of the Reviews 13.00 " For Blackwood and the four Reviews.... 15.00 " These works will be printed on a greatly im proved quality of paper, and while nearly all A meriean Periodicals are either advanced in price or reduced in size—and very generally both, we shall continue to give faithful copies of all the matter contained in the original editions.Hence, our pres ent prices will be found as cheap, for the amount of matter furnished, as those of any of the com peting periodicals in the country. Compared with the cost of the original editions, which at the present premium on gold would be about SIOO a year, our prices (sls) areexceediag ly low. Add to this the fact that we make our an nual payments to the British Publishers for early sheets and copyright in Gold —$1 costing us at this time nearly $2.50 in currency—and we trust that in the scale we have adopted we shall be enti rely justified by our subscribers and the reading public. The interest of these Periodicals to American readers is rather Increased than diminished by the articles they contain on ourgreat Civil War, and though sometimes tinged with prejudice they may still, considering their great ability and the differ ent stand-points from which they arewritten, be rend and studied with advantage by the people of this country of every creed and party.
