rAsfallomoN, January 4.--A asiqtant Saa
ri:try of the Treasury and Harry M. Wat
teon have reached Wilmington, N. C. It

ne is to examine into the alleged cotton
fmds in the South.
thortly after twelve o'clock last night the
stamship Fairfax, of the Atlantic Steam
sip Line, lying at G street wharf, was
dicovered to be on fire in the vicinity of
he boilers, and efforts were at once made
tc suppress the flames. . This was, however,
unsuccessful, as shortly after, six o'clock
tie bow and stern were enveloped in flames.
The presence of the steam engines gave
some hope of saving at least a portion of
the vessel. The exact amount of loss is not
yet ascertained. The Fairfax arrived here
yesterday afernoon from N. York' and was
laden with merchandise for Washington
and Georgetown merchants. Fortunately
all her freight had been discharged before
the fire was discovered, and thus our mer
chants suffer no loss. A portion of the fur
niture of the ship and of the personal effects
of the captain and crew were doubtless de
stroyed, although much had been got off.
The vessel was one of the finest and largest
of her class, elegantly fitted up and furnished,
and was valued at $75,000.

ST. Louis, Jan. 3.—Governer Fletcher
took possession to-day of the St. Joe and

of the Missouri Legislature, passed last

Messrs. Stringfellow, Osborne, Carpenter
& Burns, and provided for their forfeiture
to the State if the above payment was not
made on January Ist. The Governor has
appointed a State agent to operate the roads
until they can be sold again, pursuant to

BOSTON, Jan, 4.—The Newton Oil Com

The New Orleans Cotton Market.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan'. Brothers &
Co's Cotton Report of Dec. 30th says:—Their
advices from all points fully confirm them
in their opinion that their estimates of the
total supply given in their last circular is
not too high, inclining them to the outside
figures, 2,100,000 bales. The cause of trade
has been a good deal changed by the cus
tomary rise in the rivers. Instead of re
ceipts of a hundred thousand bales, the
weekly average has been restricted to 60,000.
Information now received from all points
state that the rivers are rapidly rising and
the receipts
.s re on an increasing scale,
namely: the receipts here and at Mobile for
the week ending Dec, 15, were 22,169; Dec.
22, 35,684; Dec. 29, 37,200. The receipts at
all points and the cotton forwarded North
already amount to 1,360,000 bales; thus con
troverting Secretary McCulloch's estimate
of 1,300,000 for the entire supply, old and
new.
There are no signs of a serious falling off
at any point and the effect of the tardy rise
of the rivers will be to protract the delivery
to a comparatively late date. The question
arises, will not the strength of large holders
at Mobile and New York be exhausted be
fore the first falling off takes place and can
it continue to be piled up in ports. Already
the stock held at the leading points exceeds
500,000 bales and is daily increasing,
whereas the total foreign exports since the
Ist of September, amount to only 300,000
bales, down to the latest dates, from all
points.
So far as present indications can be trusted
they think it not unreasonable to anticipate
a crop for 1866 and '67, of from 1,500.000 to
1,800,000. whereof not less Than one half
will be retained in the country or say 130,-
000 or 300,000 from the Atlantic States and
Florida, and 1,300,000 to 1,500,000 from the
South.

teired in a company about - to`,join the, army
during the war of 1812, which he accidentally
encountered while in searchlof, employment.
On the restoration of.peace; he Occupied him
self in . collecting materials for the great
national work. entitled ,"The Blogranhy of
the Sign ers of the Declaration of Indepen
dence, which Was published by himself
and brother—the celebrated author, John
Sanderson—conjointly. He was subse
qtiently employed as publisher and
printer of the, noted Aurora, in which
he advocated very strongly the election of
Andrew Jackson to . the Presidency. His
next occupation was' that of proprietor of
the Merchants' Coffee House in Philadel
phia, and editor and publ'..her of the Phila
delphia Prices. Current. As the commerce
and trade of the city increased, so did the
wants and ambition of its merchants, and
the humble coffee house was finally merged
in the splendid Exchange; which still stands
a monument of his energy and enterprise.
Ousted from his position as superintendent
of that institution, during the stormy pok
tical contest between the stern Jackson and
the moneyed leviathan of that day—the
United States Bank—he became a hotel
keeper, as which he was most fa
vorably known all throughout the
United States, especially in the
Western ones. To him Philadelphia
was indebted for the first hotel ever erected,
as such, in that city—the Merchants' Hotel—
which he subsequently relinquished for a
more splendid establishment, also new, in
Chestnut street. In 1847 he sold out in
teresthis and retired from public life entirely,
removing shortly after to New York, where
he has eversince resided. A man of enlarged
and liberal views, he has ever sought the
public good before his own personal interest;
and, although the undoubted originator and
inventor of many useful improvements,
would never consent to fetter their dissemi
nation by a patent. Chief among them
may be named the speaking tubes now in
use in almost every building, public
and private. throughout the land, and a
very noted heater and - cooking stove,
greatly in vogue in Philadelphia. While re
cognizing the specialties of the various
States, he always contended that the State
of his birth was, from its position, mineral
wealth and agricultural resources, really
the keystone of the arch. Pennsylvania
never had a more devoted son, and to him
is she, in a great measure, indebted for one
of her chief arteries of trade . • e Reading
Railroad, which he ever •ed as a
favorite child. Coming in • t contact
with the Fathers of his Coun a few men
were better posted in the earlier history of
the republic and the compromises of the
constitution. His knowledge of the statis
tics of the country was something amazing,
carrying, as be did, the figures relating to
its trade, commeroe and productive resour
ces at his fingers' end. Of a kind and gentle
disposition, he was never he happy as when
making others so, and but few men could
converse with him without carrying away
with them some novel idea or useful infor
mation.

LATE MEXICAN REPORTS.
.APFAIES IN SAN DOMINGO.
Valedictory of floir.kndrew, of Massa-
BosTozT, Jan. 4th.—Governor Andrew de
livered a lengthy valedictory address to the
Legislature-to-day, in which he ventures
the opinion that the Government of the
United States ought to require the people
of those States late in rebellion to reform
their constitutions, by first guaranteeing to
the people of color, now the wards of the
nation, their civil rights, as men and
women, on an equality with the white
population by amendments irrepealable in
terms.
Second, byeregulating the elective fran
chise according to certain laws of, universal
application, and not by rules merely arbi
trary. Third, by annulling the ordinances
of secession. Fourth, by disapproving the
rebel debt; and fifth, by ratifying the anti
slavery amendments of the United States
Constitution by their Legislatures.
And be would have all these ques
tions, save the fifth (the disposition of
which is regulated by the Federal Consti
tutinn) put to a vote of the people them
selves.
On the subject of amnesty he says:
When the day arrives, which surely must
come, when an amnesty substantially
universal shall be proclaimed, the
leading minds at the South, who, by tem
porary policy and artificial rules had been
for a while disfranchised, will resume their
influence and their sway. The capacity of
leadership is a gift, not a device. Those
whose courage, talents, and will entitle
them to lead will lead; and these men not
then stopped by their own consent or par
ticipation in the business of reorganization
may not be slow to question the validity of
great public transactions enacted during
their own disfran hisement. If it is asked
in reply, What can they do and what can
come of their discontent? I answer that
while I do not know just what they
can do nor what may come of it, neither do
I know what they may not attempt nor
what they may ,not accomplish. I only
know that we ought to demand and secure
the co-operation of the strongest and ablest
minds and national leaders of opinions in
the South. If we cannot gain their support
of the first measures needful for the work of
this age, reorganization will be delusive and
full of danger.
With regard to negro suffrage, the address
continues: It may be asked, Why not de
mand the suffrage for colored men in season
for their vote in the business of reorganiza
tion ? My answer is, I assume that the‘
colored men are in favor of those measures
which the Union needs to have
adopted ; but it ' would be idle
to reorganize those States by the colored
votes if the popular vote of the white race
is not to be had in favor of the guarantees
justly required. Then lam in favor of hold
ing on just where we now are. lam not in
favor of a surrender of the present rights of
the Union to a struggle between white
minorities aided by freedmen on
one hand against a majority of
the white race on the other. I would not
consent, having rescued these States by
arms from secession and rebellion, to turn
them over to anarchy and chaos. I have
however, no doubt whatever of our right to
stipulate for colored suffrage. The ques
tion is one of statesmanship, and not a
question of Constitutional limitation.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4th.—The steamship Ot
tawa, Capt. Archer,which arrived last night
from London, experienced a succession of
terrific gales: throughout her passage.

sails were blown away and the boat's
hatchway, sheds and everything on deck
washed away by the heavy seas which
broke over her, and it was nearly an hour
before the hatch was secured—the men
being repeatedly washed away with their
nails, hammer, etc., and the boatswain
being seriously injured in the attempt.

height. The seas swept fore and aft and
washed overboard Chas. Dyson, fourth

injuring several others severely.
