Tint TilltATßES.—Miss Jost() Orton, the accom plished leading lady at the Chestnut, will have a benefit this evening, in a new pliy, entitled Th e Public Press and its Victims. Miss Orton deserves a crowded house. At the Walnut Miss Lacille Western will have a farewell benefit In the dra a Green Bushes. At the Arch, this evening, Light at. Last will be performed for the benefit of the author. The public have not yet had, and it is likely never will have, any benefit fruit this drama. The American offers an attractivabill. Mot - tares BENEFIT.—Frank Moran, the come dian of Tunison & Co.'s Ministrely, at the New Seventh Street Opera House, has his benefit this evening, and has prepared for the occasion owl of the most attractive entertainments of the kind ever offered in this city. In addition to the usual performance, he reads from "Dickens," and pre sents for the first time a new burlesque, entitled Out AII Night; or, The Rush for Dickens's Tickets Ma. CRAIG'S BENEFIT.—It Is hardly necessary at this time to do more than simply refer to the fact that Mr. Robert Craig, the popular and as comedian of the Arch Street Theatre will have a benefit to-morrow evening. Indeed. it is generally understood that there has already been a very large demand for tickets, and that there is a strong probability that the house wilt be crowded. Of 31r. Craig's merits we have al ready spoken at length, and it is unnecessary to enlarge upon them here. He should have been eulogized in these columns at an earlier day had it not occurred, unfortunately, that during the present season be has scarcely hada really good opportunity to display his•talente to advantage, and during the past two weeks he has been com pelled to assume, even to a greater extent than usual; an insignificant part in a wretched play. To-morrow night he will appear in a bill of his own choosing, and a brilliant performance rely be expected. In the burlesque of Faust Mr. Craig will introduce the following parody of hloore's song, "Believe me if all those enduring }Dung charms." The verse is purely nonsensical, but the manner in which the sound is imitated is ingenious and wonderful: (*relieve me of all those inherent young charms Paraphrased on all round in this play, They are changed to my sorrow—thy feet, and thy arms And thy fairest gifts fading away. Thou a ilt still be a bore, as this moment thou art, When thy loveliness fades; as it will, While around thy dear ruin no wish of my heart Will entwine itself verdantly still. Oh. it is not my duty In truth you must own SiLee,thy cheek 13 proclaimed dry and sear, To be s'erver of pathos or sold with a groan, For Ws time I should "shake" thee I fear. Though my , hearti,hae once truly loved,never,"you bete, Will It truly love on, for her clothes (At, if come power turns her to "Lod") rudely sets Like Black Crooke, when they turn on their toes. ELEVY.NTII firitrrr Of Horsy.—The pan tomime of the Magic Pearl will be performed this evening, with a east including all the most popu lar members of the company. addition to this there will be several new burlesques, and a number of popular ballade sung by Mr. Car-- cross; singing, dancing, and Ethiopian eccentri cities generally. SEVENTH STREET OPERA DOI:MR.—This even ing a most attractive entertainment will be given at this popular house. A large number of per formers have been added to the company, and it now embraces some of the most accomplished members of the profession in the country. The programme embraces dancing, vocal and instru mental music, burlesque. farce, and the ESULLI-. tude of gaud things which go to make up a first class performance. BLlTZ.—Signor Blitz will give one of his plea sant entertainments at Assembly Buildings this evening. The Signor will remain upon the plat form but a short time longer, and his old friends owe it to themsklves and him to see him mica more before his Snal withdrawal. His migical ep el torte is larger and more attractive than ever. FRANK MORAN AND DICKENS.—On this even hlro, at the eleventh &Teat Opera House. Frank Moran bus his first benefit, when he will read from Dickens's "Boots at the Swan" and "Dick SwiveLler's Experience:" • (For the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin 3 The Cause et the Seamen. While re adiug over the bit of objects to be Frayed for during thi4"Week of Prayer." I could rot help eating my self this question—Had our saviour been making out such a list, would Ile bate left out the millions who toil on the sea? I think not. Is anything suggested by His selec tion of one-third of his apostles from the sea? Did He mean to teach His Clutch any lessons of wisdom? Why did He not call them from all the various calliegs of life, or at least from twelve diflerent ours? No, Jesus wished to have bold, energetic . I,V.n, who %ere capable from their training of doing and during anything for His cause. Does not the example of the Master say to His church : "Do not neglect to call the um of, the sea to the work of propagating tint Gospel." How astoni,hing it is that Sab bath after ktubbath ministers remember in nrs3er all ranks and conditions of men on the land, but the niillions on the ocean are forgotten! Is the thureb acting wisely to neglect this mighty moral power, abandoning it to Satan? 04u foreign missions reasonably hope for success when they 'legit et a power a thousand-fold more potent than all the missionaries of, all the churches in Christendom? Is it not tree that the people of God are, unconsciously, ignoring the Divine. eerier of things? God knows best what moral forces to employ to further His cause, and their order of use; and who can read the sixtieth chapter of Isaiah, and not perceive that the Church, by its acts, has ;. put . the subse quent for 'the antecedent? The Church, by ' its munificent offerings to the cause of raissions,has said: "The heathen flrst,the abutdance of the sea next." God says: "Because the commerce of this world sitall be consecrated to the use of the great Prince of Peace, the forces of the Gentiles bull brought in." How much is expended yearly on foreign missions, by Christians in this country? 'Perhaps two and a half millions, and about one hundred thousand for 'be cause of seamen. I ark, is this wise? The best testimony we can have is from the mis sionaries themselves, and their testimony ia, that one ungodly ship's crew, on shore for one day, will undo mouths or years of their labor, and that nothleg helps them so much as a ship's comuany of earnest Christian men. When will the Children of Light learn wisdom? By fol lowing the suggestive acts of Jesus. Phila. Jan. 10, 1868.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE STATE TREASURER OF THE 001101WDITH OF PERSILVANIA, ON Tiff Finances of the State }Olt TIM Fiscal Year ending Nov. 30, 'B7. To the Senate and house of Representatives of the Con inciarealth of Pennsylvania: It is try fortune in this, my last annual report, to be able to congratulate you on the continued prosperous condition of our finances and the still brighter future that awaits us. During the past three years, we have reduced our indebtedness nearly five millions of dollars; redeemed all over-due liabilities; relieved real es tate from. State taxation; and the Treasury is in sin h a condition that the Commissioners of the - 13iukieg Fund have felt justined in proposing to pay, in advance of maturity, the locus due July, 11,68, amounting to 01,866031 88, and this, too, without overuaing any kind of capital or &troy; for I believe it true that in no State of the Leion is taxation to light as in Pennsylvania, u Witt Lot one is to-day in as good credit, judging by the market price of their loans. The improveuteut in the condition of the Treasury during the past year has been $870.- 521 39. and the loans redeemed by the Coin reiteieet rt 3 of the Sinking Fund amount to fie 35,620 i 4.• Ihe reveion from ordinary sources has been 75,070.071 95, and the ordinary expeudituree 4.230.438 67. Terre in yet outstanding of the over duo loans 2.937.970 55, funds for the redemption of whiell bete been set aside. The interest on all °et rdue louts Low outstanding ceased last August; so the Commonwealth ie incurring no loss by the at giect of holders to tend them in for redemp tion; most of them will, no doubt, be redeemed the touring month. She loan authorized by the act of the second of FForary, 1867, was all, with the exception of about three million of dollars, taken by our own citizens, and this, too, notwithstanding fifteen of dollars of the twenty-three to be re deemed were held in Europe. dome few of the oreign holders have received their money under proteet, contending that they were entitled to re ceive the principal of thNola bonds in gold, but this has been dune to a very limited extent. It is but jastice to state that no citizen of Pennsylva nia is included in this Het of protestants. My uniform reply to such protests has been "that it was no part of the original contract to pay in gold." The act of. 1867, taxing the stock of National Batiks, realized to the Treasury during this year but $8,292 43. The banks have pretty generally agreed to pay this tax, and a large amount is Low being paid to the county treasurers; but, owing to the, difficulty of orgaivizing a new sy stem it was late in the year before the assess -14,e11t lists could be completed, which prevented the coilectine of the tax iu tiMe to appeariu this report. The amount of tax from this source for the year 1868 will probably reach $250.000. There are very serious obstacles to the proper conceder of this tax on National Banks, owing to the restriction in the act of Congress authoriz big their organization. The National banking act requires the tax to be the same as on other personal property, and to be assessed and collected in the same manner, to wit : hi the hands of the bolder. This com pels ts to have machinery in every county of the :state for its collection, and allows non-residents tot ntireiy escape theirjust share of taxed. The national law should be so amended as to allow each State to assess and collect the ti , X as, they deem proper. Tue only restric tion should be as to the rate of said tax. Tne entire capital stock of a bank should be liable to taxation in the State where the bank is to catt.d. Thr rt is no reason why the Capita. of a bank located-here should escape taxation I ecuuse its owner resided without the St ate, than tbat a house should be exempt because Its own' r happened to be a non-resident. Tut right to tax lifiould follow the property, and the 1 rt perry of a bank is where it is located, and not in its eel titicatere A certificate of stock is simply an acknowledgment that its owner has so mice interest iu a certain corporation located in some nowt d place. There can be no h ,nest reason why etc ekbotdt rs should object to have the law attended, and I recommend that resolutions be patted requeetiug our members of 'Congress to have it so untended. A few of the banks paid the tux uudt r the law rased 23d day of February, Ibt.6 Au act thou dbe passed authorizing the State Treasurer to refund it, as the law was de cluted nucoustitutioual by our courts, and it is uejutt to take advautlge of the few who may hake paid it and were unwilling to enter into a cos tot a Ith the State. . • . tax on coal has yielded $102.963 59, and for the year 1868 it is estimated at $200,000, and it will probably largely exceed this sum. The receipts for the' fiscal year ending Novem bi r 30, 1868, are estimated at' $5,485,500. The increase will be prine?pally' from the latter HAMER. The • xpendituree are estimated' ai $3,800,000; (lit. will be considerably less wan for the year 1867. I respectfully call your attention- to the expenses of government; by proof' attention thy can be reduced two hundred thoteand dois lays ($200,000) below what they were during 1867, and all necessary expenses be provided for. By the estimate hereunto annexed it will he seen that should the expenditures be carefully watched our revenue will be $1,600,000 In excess of oar expenditures. This is a much larger revenue than it is necessary or wise to collect, and I therefore recommend the repeal of the three (3).mi1l tax on personal property, bonds. mortgages and money at interest, except the bonds and mertgagea issued by corporations. la le are many reasons why this tax should be abolished, not the least of which is the utter impossibility of obtaittiug au equal and just as s' eareent (reit.But the principal reason why the tux on bonds sod mortgages should be re pt slid is that It has become a penalty a man pays tor beleg in debt. ibis tax wad originally intended as a tax on capital, but it has long since ceased to be paid by the capitalists, but it is now paid by the bor rower. Most mortgages are now so drawn as to obligate the borrower to pay the tax. Ou real estate it is taxing the man who is In debt for his property three (3) wills on every dollar he owed on it, whilst lin who is able to owe his real estate free of debt is entirely free of State tax. The revenue for 1868 is estimated at $5,485,000 00 The lax on personal property, bonds, mortgags and moneys at interest Leaving a revenue from other sources of Dtduct estimated expeneea. 81,335,000 00 Leaving one million three hundred and thirty the thousand - dollars for the redemption of public loons. Adhering to my opinion, as expressed In my annual report of 1865, that It should be the en dealer of the Commonwealth to Collect her revenue from such sources- BB cannot tin reached by counties anddown's. I hope you will &roue° it p , at this tax andthereby relieve a class Who need apprietate this act of Nalco. Very respectfully; u. 11 Klistanw • 8040 Treasurer.

WO The works of the United Suites Clock and Brass Company. at Austin, four miles from Chicago, were destroyed by fire last night. '1 he w orks of the company comprised two largo frame buildings, lined with brick, and another wholly of brick. To the west of and between these two largo frame buildings was the brick mill, comprising ngine-robrn, rolling-mill, blacksmith shop, var nish-room, etc. In this latter room the fire was first discovered by the night watchman at 11 o'clock last night. The flumes spread IA hi; astonishing rapidity and so fiercely that in a few minutes the entire build ing was a glowing furnace. Tho wind blowing from the northwest, the flames were driven into the large frame building—the movement factory —and in an incredibly short space of time the lofty structure was a mass of ruins, sharing the fate of its brick neighbor, the rolling mill. The citizens of Austin turned out into the hitter night•cold with commendable alacrity, and by most praiseworthy efforts succeeded in sav ing a small portion of the machinery. In the movement factory. there were twelve hundred clocks nearly completed, which were destroyed. Fortunately the case manufactory escaped, owing ,to - the direction of the wind, though standing in great danger from the intensity of the heat. The loss is variously estimated at from $150,- 000 to $175,000, upon which there is indurance to the amount of $150,000. DESTRUCTIVE LIKE GHENT, PA. Factory and tux Dwelllingo Burned. (From the Pittsburg Commercial, of Jan. sta.) Yesterday morning, between twelve and one o'clock a lire broke out in Mr. Henry Kennewig's .ot.veco manufactory, situated on Perry street, '1 hied Ward, Allegheny. The alarm was given, and the entire lire department was soon on the grt-und, but owing to the fact that some of the plugs were out of order the operation of the steamers was somewhat delayed. The building, ioge filer with nearly all the stock on hand, was destroyed. The residence of the proprietor of the stablishment, adjoining, • was also burned. A arge two-14°r) , brick dwelling, on. Perry street, was badly damaged by the tire. A Ern al frame dwelling., filled in with brick, on Long lane, was destroytd, the inmatirs losing nearly all their clothing And furniture. A brick building adjoin .ng wan occupied 'by the families of And. Ernst and John Christ. Mr. Curiat and wife and child occupied the upper portion of the 'louse, and when they awakened they discovered that the bed was in dunes. Mrs. Christ had her face, arms and side badlyhurned, bet her hus talvd and child escaped uninjured. Their furni ture and clothing was entirely destroyed. Christian Kennewig's residence, and a house ~e cupied by Mr. Koeling, together with the furniture, were also burned. The residence of Mr. Henry Hinkle; on Perry street, caught tire, nut through the efforts of the department it was eased. A row of dwellings on the opposite side of the street also made a narrow escape from destruction. A young man, a member of the Columbia Hose and Hook and Ladder Company, was badly injured by the chimney of the tobacco manufactory falling upon him. His injuries are nocconsidercd fatal. The origin of the fire is not kncwn, but it is tinpposed to have been the work of an incendiary. RAILROAD ACCIDENT• Conductor oh an onto Road ,Kilted. (From the Toledo Blade, Jan.

The reeult proved that the Ire , ohm was Worthy of the trust, and-no acts of hos at their hands followed, The hostility f the" — Klowae, 'Arrapahoes, Cheyennes and m vend smaller tribes is ac owned for by the fact (hat their territory was Invaded and portions of it wrested trent them by the white man, in direct tolution of solemn treaties. By a treaty_made II 1551, mid ratified bv Congress, a large section f country was set aside for these tribes, and the Government bound itself to protect them from an depredations within this district. This reser vi, tion embraced the greater portion of Colorado. Gold was substleently discovered in that region, ,s d II e whites ponied in by thousands, bending I. w ris and villages, making roada and taking et ftti BAota of the roll for Inkling purposes, tuid IL this in despite of the protests of the la labs, and with the full knowledge of the Governmeut. l'he game was driven from the ~otintry, and the Indians, crowded from their bona 5 by the 11:11Rd0113, grew'sullen and trouble.. tome. They .wene'star viug In the land which tel previously yielded thew plenty, while tleltie who Nod robte d them looked upon them with jeal eusy and hatred. They wore denounced as standing in the way of civilization, and '"elviii• cation, with the ten'coutteafiduteute to one hand 1,1 d. the sword in the other, demanded their ex ter1141181101.1." Bubstquentipthe Indlane, Wiping to tuvt!'voniktblog at their Posticaslone, entered ,Into ti new. treaty, whereby they consented to rimer der enough for two large States for a upto y comideratlon_, and to , reserve .only the southe`nl pbrtion oftneir.tract, bordering on the . ark, tifas door.

First Colorado Cavalry, attacked the I Cheyennes, and thus describes tue manner in which ho massacred them. Ho says : "1 captured an It dian, end required him to go to the village or I would kill hint. About day light I eliceeeded in surprising the Cheyenne vil lage of Cedar Bluffs in a small canyon, about GO miles north of the South Platte River. We coni• me need shooting. I ordered the men to cora l:neural killing them. They lost, as I am informed, 26 killed and 30 wounded. My own loss was 1 killed and 1 wounded. I burned up their bodies and everything I could get a hold of. I took no prisoners. We got out of ammunition and could not pursue them." In this camp the Indians bad their women and children. Shortly after this oc curred the maseaere at Sand Creek, where Col. advingion, with a body of Colorado cavalry sur prised an encampment of 500 Cheyennes who were at the time under the protection of the Go vernment, having come in to Fort Lyon to sue for peace, and who had been regularly drawing rations Hom the fort. The report says: "The par ticulars of this massacre are too well known to be repeated here, with all ite heartrending scenes. It is enough to say that it scarcely has its parallel in the records of Indian barbarity. Fleeing wo men, holding up their bands and praying for mercy, were brutally shot down. Infants were killed and scalped in derision. Men were tor tured and mutilated in a manner that would pat to shame the savage ingenuity of interior Africa. No one - will be astOnished that a war erened, which cost the Govern ment $30,000,000, and carried conflagration and death to the border settlements." After the war bad been prosecuted for some time resulting in the killing of "fifteen or-twenty Indians at a cost of more than $1.000,000 apiece," and the loss of several hundred soldiers and settlers, another ti eaty was made, and for a time peace reigned on the border. The burning of the Cheyenne village in 1867 by Gen. Hancock, resulted in again arous leg the hostility of the Chesennes, and soldiers and settlers acre murdered - In great 'imagers, mail eta Hoes burned and other atrocities com mitted by that tribe and their allies. The Coin ruissioneis look much evidence regarding this matter, and express the opinion tnat Gen. cock acted on ful-e intormation and without sufficient cause. When the war with renollion ceased, iced thousande;of persons sought the gold fielde of Montana, the lends of the to en were atrala invaded, military posts were estab lished, roads were built, villages spraeg up, and the red man and the game upon which be sub sists were drivek away. The chiefs protested, but without avail. Hostilities were renewed, culminating in the Fort Phil Kearney massacre. The report mentions in detail the Causes which have ed to Indian troubles. and says, with all the evidence bsfore teem, that the whites have uniformly treated them unjustly, and never hon estly fu'filled the treaties which have be made. Congress has failed in legs stint; in the matter, ' but, while demanding rights for the negro, when die cussing the Indian question confined itself to the point "bow best to get their lands." The report concludes by suggesting a line of policy to be adopted in future. o Reservations are proposed on which are to be gathered all of the Indians east of the Rocky Mountains; a territorial gov ernment to be, established for each district, or a military government if deemed beet at first; agri culture and manufactures to - be introduced among the tribes; schools established, and the English language substituted for their dialects. In short, it is proposed to civilize them. The report denounces the agents who have heretofore been sent among them, and says that great care must be taken In select ing proper officers to govern them in their new relations. It is recommended that the In dian affairs should be administered by civil rather than military officers, and that the Commission should be continued for another season. The ref sits of the labors of the Commission may be briefly summed up: A thorough knowledge of the causes of Indian wars and the results of those wars was obtained; the fact was proven that the whites bad violated every treaty ever made with existing tribes; satisfactory treaties were made with the Riowas, Camanches, CheyenUes and Arrapaboes, and arrangements made for perfect ing treaties in the Spring with other tribes; hos tilities were checked, and the Plains made safe for settlers and travelers._ 1N ALLE• Dr. Schenck's Method of Curing Con. sumption. Consumption can be cured." Is this. a mere empty asserti, orivit truth? Read curvially dad decide. Years cif siudy and research have enabled me to I erlect my three great medicines, Pultno nic Sylup, Seaweed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills, which, taken as directed, will demote the system, resume the appetite, assist digestion, and cede tate pew Sand healthy blood, all of which are In Cl Fl uty. not only to a vigorous elrculation.but to bring the diseased system to a point where re lief is possible. • In !yen case of incipient consumption its vic rni I tcol:m Et emaciated, even though the apite tile is tolerably good;, this is owing to the atom "rich being loaded whin slime, which pro ventsthe food trove snaking the necessary quantity of blood: ate slomuch must be cleansed, and my .Il•tunditike Pills are .the powerful agent to,do it successfully, and in fact they are necessary to th.r plow tee auto nt of nearly all cases of colt sum p due.
