It will be « dreadful thing for future genera tions if the theory should be true that the world is gradually getting smoother in its surface; that the little protuberances of the Himalayas, the Rocky Mountains, the Cor dilleras and the Alps, should be slowly but surely wasting away; that the small con cavities of the Atlantic and' the Pacific should be filling up, and that the continents and seas, melting into one another, shall at last resolve this revolving globe into a vast mud ball, symmetrically spherical, but very un picturesque. In the gradual process of as similating land and sea, roads over moun tains will approach and at last attain a level; ocean voyages will be shortened and at last dispensed with; a transitionary amphibious condition will be assigned to human and other creatures, and finally they will have to be either land creatures or water creatures, according as land or water prevails in the final settlement. That the earth has undergone changes in the course of many thousands of years is not to he questioned. 'Noah’s flood was only one of perhaps many phenomena that have been working on the surface, against chemical and other convulsions beneath the surface, to bring to aperfectfy round, homogeneous ball this little lump that perambulates a small or bit in the universe under the name of Tellus, or Terra, or the world, or the globe, or per haps under scores of other titles among the astronomical observers in those other little lumps that we call after Jupiter, Saturn, Mer cury, Venus, and the various fanciful crea tures that were believed to be deities by an insignificant people, in an insignificant terri tory, during an insignificant period of the in significant history of the very insignificant ballon which happen to dwell we atoms that call ourselves men and women, scholars, poets, heroes, statesmen, editors, et cetera. In far, very remote ages, long preceding the earliest traditions of China or Japan, there may have been speculators who lamented the coming fate of future human creatures, like us of the present day, who would not be able to see the Barth as they saw it Physical changes were going on then, of which geology now furnishes de cisive evidence, and doubtless there were many wonders of the world that astonished g a u should ask the people of this country to existing creatures more than did the Seven of huild a magnificent church for him in Loa the so-called classical period.

One of them was submerged entirely jfor a while by • high tide that, fortunately, rose only in the -brain of a remarkable cable reporter of "the New York Herald. But Bt. Croix and Bt. Thomas were really pretty nearly engulphed. JBt, Thomas was saved solely by the diplo maty.hf Secretary Seward, who determined that it should be one of “the bulwarks of the j United States,” and bargained to annex it with a few of the odd millions, that are lying loose in the Treasury. Here, perhaps, is the secret of saving Mother Earth from the dissolution which old age and continual revolving seem to be bringing on her: To preserve cataracts, mountains, volcanoes, islands and continents in iheir'integrity,they must be annexed to the United States. Niagara will not be secure till we get possession of the other side of the river. Vesuvius ought to be attended to at once by Admiral Farragut„who, fortunately, happens now to be at Naples. The "West India Islands must be anchored to the conti nent as St, Thomas has been; and so, by de grees, under the wise guidance of Secretary Seward, 1 wb can annex ‘‘all the world and the rest of mankind,” that poor old Zach spoke of in his most important public document. Make all the world the United States, and then we can preserve things in their norms* state by acts of Congress, appropriations and i government contracts. Unless wc dosome | tbiDg of this kind we, or some of our suc- I cessors, will have to cry, “Chaos has come ! again!” THE aiWJIAJI H4l* TOWER, The scheme for building a church in Lon don for the Rev. Newman Hall, which was exposed by tbe journals of this city, a couple of months ago, has been revived in New York, and an eloquent appeal has been put forth, asking funds for the erection of an In ternational Church, in commemoration of the triumph of frcedotri’in the United States. This appeal has the regular signatures of the New York philanthropic corps: Henry Ward Beecher, Theodore L. Cuyler, Howard Crosby, John Cotton Smith, Stephen H. Tyng, Jr., Theodore Tilton and the other gentlemen who always go in for whatever is irregular and out of the ordinary way. Like the famous “Declaration” of a portion of the Low Church Episcopalians, or the Gettysburg Asylum scheme, the Newman Hall manifesto - has been considerably modi fied to suit the New York market in parti cular, and. public opinion generally. It is no longer a Lincoln Monument in the shape of a tower to Mr. Hall’s new church. The ab surdity of that appeal was so clearly pointed out, that the form of the thing has been some what altered. With our own Lincoln Monu ments yet unbuilt, and the Alabama claims yet unpaid, the idea of sending money to England to put up a tower to Abraham Lin coln’s memory on a particular church, was too palpably inconsistent to meet with much ihvor. The plan remains the same, but it is now gilded to catch contributions, by divest ing its personal character and presenting it as an international commemoration of the triumph of freedom in the United States. But this scheme is open to the same broad objections as before. The Rev. Newman- Hall is an eminent and popular divine of London, and, during his recent tour in this country, made hosts of friends and admirers, both by his eloquent sermens and the sym pathy which he so freely expressed for the cause of the American Union. But why Mr. COH I’OIUI'IOVN. A pel, theme with political oratorical dema : gogucs, damages-seeking attornios and sensa ■! tional newspaper writers, ib corporations. The • political orator denounces all corporations as monopolies that are Buhvcfsive of vue’righfe' of the people and dangerous to public liberty; the lawyer, in au outburst of zeal in the in- terest of his client’s pocket, gets off with withering effect the well-worn axiom, that "corporations have no bodies to be kicked nor eouls to be saved'.;” and- the sensational newspaper writer denounces all corporations as "greedy," "soulless,” "rapacious” and "dangerous.” There are corporations, as THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN PHILADELPHIA, MON DAY, FEBRU there are individuals, that arc liable to these charges ; but how senseless is this wholesale denunciation of corporations ini the mass. Webster defines the word corporation (in this connection) to mean “a body politic or cor porate, formed and authorized by law to act ns a single person; a.sbciety having the capacity of transacting business as an individual;” or, in other words, an . association of energies, capital’ and intelligence, for the promotion of ;a common good, and for the accomplishment of desirable ends that could never be accomplished by in dividual means or individual exertions. With out corporations our great cities would be towns, our towns would be villages, and all through the vast West, where now there are scattered thousands of villages and tens of thousands of fertile farms, there would be a wilderness. Long lines of railroads, that could never be constructed by private enter prise, woidd not be carrying the produce of the teeming West to the manufacturing and commercial Eaßt and taking back in return the supplies for the husbandman of the in terior States, but for corporations; nor would the iron rails that now almost reach to the sum mit of the Sierra Nevada be pushing towards the setting sun in the prosecution of the great work of linking together the two great oceans that wash the opposite shores of the continent. Without corporations the coal of our own State, the gold of California, the lead ol Il linois, the iron of Missouri and the copper of Lake Superior would lie useless in their native mines, and mankind would be none the better for their existence. Without cor porations we would be almost without com merce; there would be no great lines of tele graph to span continents and to bring San Francisco and St. Petersburg almost within speaking distance of each other; the locomo tive would rust out and the rattling stage and the sluggish Conestoga wagon would take its place; the great agencies which now instruct, stimulate and enlighten the human mind would languish and die out in the general re-- trogade, and the world would drift backward to the condition from, which it was brought by the discovery of the art of printing, the invention of machinery and the accomplish ing of great works by the association of time, energies, intelligence and capital; Without corporations the wealthy owner of ships and houses might be beggared at any moment, because there would be no insurers to divide his loss among thousands; while no man could secure comfort or competence for his family in the event of his own sudden taking oft, for there would be no life insu rance companies. Without corporations there could be no moneyed institutions to prevent or relieve commercial crises, and but little commerce to be disturbed by panics. Corporations illustrate civilization, the living together of men in prosperous communities, and the association of men and means for the promotion of a common good. The aboli tion of all corporations would imply the re lapse of mankind into barbarism, the break ing up of communities, the growth of an individuality of exertion and resource, which would finally tend to the jealous conflict of tribe against tribe and family against family* If these violent denouncers of corporations, could have the materials of which corpora tions are composed brought prominently for ward along with their denunciations, the ef fect of the latter would be badly damaged- Thoughtful, active business men, who invest their'capital in the pursuit of what they be lieve to be mutually advantageous for them selves and the community; rqtjred business men who invest their savings in what promises to yield them a good returA, and widows and orphans whose means are placed where they can at once serve a public and a private good—these are the components of very many of the “greedy,” “soulless,” “ra- I pacious” ebrporations that have neither “souls j to be saved nor bodies to be kicked.” ! There are bad corporations and corpora tions that are formed for dishonest and im proper purposes. So there are bad men, or there would be no need of criminal courts and prisons. But it is as wicked and foolish to decry and create prejudice against all cor porations because some men combine to gether for evil purposes, as it would be absurd and unjust to stigmatize and dishonor all members of the human family because there are swindlers, thieves and murderers out of the penitentiary, The Midnight Mail.— I Thanks to the exer tions of Postmaster Bingham and Representative O’Neill, arrangements have been made by which a mail will, on and after to-day, leave New York at midnight, reaching Wcßt Philadelphia at 5.20 A. M. Tbiß train will bring the latest Boston and New York mail, and will afford a very great business facility to the merchants of Philadel phia. General Bingham and Mr. O’Neill have both showed their usual promptness and atten tion to Philadelphia interests in securing the re sumption of tills important mail communication.

I—A fire broke oat in Norfolk about balf-past 3 o’clock, this morn ing, In a large four-story brick building, the pro perty of Edward and William Kimberley, of Bal timore. The building was occupied by Messrs. Storm, Beard «fc Roper, for the manufacture of staves and barrels. There was a watchman on the premises, who reports that at a little after 3 o’clock this morning he was called off by some parties stealing wood in the back part of ihe lot, and upon returning, found that the fire had broken out In the second store of the building. The btcain engine on the premises was kept In condition to attach and .work the hose at any moment, but so rapidly did the flames spread that the building with till Its contents was con sumed before they could be checked. The build ing was valued at £13,000 and, was Insured for $B,OOO. Messrs. Storm, Beard A Co. were insured for $20,000, and their loss Is raid to reach about $50,- 000. From the suspicious manner in which the fire originated it is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. The adjoining building, owned and occupied by Kimberly Brothers as a wholesale grocery, sus tained Salnage to the amount of ten or twelve thousand dollars, which, however, is covered by insurance. .The burning of this factory will throw about one hundred workmen out of emplov . meat - - The schooner Francis Datelf, Obtain Greeley, from Providence, R. 1., for Norfolk, arrived here this morning.

He Charges Mr. Rollins with Corruption He Defieß the Tenure of Office Law. HE CHALLENGES IMPEACHMENT VIEWS ON BRITIBH AFFAIRS. He is Waiting for Mr. Thornton. A. J. ON MILITARY DESPOTS. HANCOCK AjSHINING EXCEPTION GRANT THE WORST.OF ALL, A Tulle with the President. 13pecl&l .Deep&tch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletln.l Wasihsgton, Feb. 3. The President ex pressed, in very decided terms, last night, to your correspondent, who had an interview with him, his Intention to send to the Senate to-day or to-morrow, a, name in place of Commissioner Rollins. He staled that he was satisfied that Com missioner Rollins had become corrupted, and was resorting to corrupt means to retain his office,and exacting money from revenue officials to assist the Radicals the approaching election in N. Hampshire. Who will be nominated in place o* Mr. Rollins is not yet known. It transpires tha. instead of recommending the removal of one hnn dred and nineteen collectors and assessors as charged by the President, a few days since, Mr. Rollins, during 1867, made no recommendations fOr removals whatever. Every one. of these re movals was made upon the sole recommends" tion of the Secretary of the Treasury, while twenty removals admitted to have been made by the President, were direct removals without consul tation with either Mr. Rollins or the Secretary oftiie Treasury. In reply to the question of your correspondent as to what course he would lake in ease the Senate refused to take any action in the nomination made in place of Mr. Rollins but would lay the nomination on the table, the President 6aid he should probably then be com pelled to make a direct removal of Mr. Rollinsi although this would be ignoring the Tenure of Office law, and would undoubtedly agitate the impeachment question again. - He said the time had arrived when he was . cither compelled to ignore the . Constitution itself, or au act of Congress, dearly unconstitutional, and it was not his purpose to hesitate, although impeachment be threatened. In regard to the statements made, as coming' from him, on the settlement of the Alabama claims at once, or of forcing Great Britain into war, he said they were unautho rized, and until he saw what authority Mr. Edward Thornton, the new English Minister, was vested withby his Governmen on Ibis question, it would be impolitic for him (the President) to make such statements, in volving as they did questions of the highest and grayest importance. The new Minister would be presented to him on Tuesday, he said, and after this was done, his policy could be more-clearly told. He denounced bitterly the new Reconstruction bill before Congress, but with a sarcastic smile said it would be only in efleetdaking the power now in the hands of the five military despots (ex cepting Gen. Hancock, who had proved himself true to the Constitution) and placing it in the hands of one military despot, who conld rul« the nation with niore severity than any sovereign in all Europe. Bcsisrnntion of minister {Adams, [Sreclai Deepatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. 1 Washington, February it.—There is a well authenticated rumor allo'at here to-day that the resignation of Charles Francis Adams. Minister to the Court of. St. James, has been received at the- State Department. Upon inquiry there Secretary Seward neither affirms nor denies the truth of it. Hence it is supposed to be true, or he would authorize its contradiction. The Tobacco Tax* (Bpecial Dc-pjiatrh to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] Washington, Feb. 3.— The representatives of the tobacco trade, at their recent convention in this city, adopted a series of resolutions, amenda tory of the present Internal Revenue law, for the consideration of the Ways and Means Com mittee. They ask that the tax upon every grade and description of chewing tobacco and snuff be fixed at 16 cents per pound, instead of 40 cents, which is the present rate, and upon all smoking tobacco,, cigars excepted, at 8 cents per pound, instead of the Dregent tax, which is sixteen cents per pound. They also adopted a resolution pro viding that all frauds perpetrated upon the In ternal Revenue Department, either by officials or any other persons, be punished with imprison ment and fine, and counterfeiting of stamps to be regarded in law as an offence, equal to coun terfeiting Government money,and to be similarly punished.

The demand for customs duties wap a little larger than muni of late, the receipts at the port for the week having bcon $2,078,486; but the export of specie and bullion was remarkably small— namely, sl6h,luo, The advance in the rates of foreign ex change, however. i« likely to lead, to renewed shipment*. One of the principal causes of the great firmness of tbc market is the large falling off in the Internal revenue re ceipts, and owing to the depressed condition of trader last year the declino is likely to be come still more marked. The income tax receipts in particular will show a heavy .decrease, and it is not improbable that the expenditures of the govern ment will exceed itft income unless the internal taxes are more efficiently collected and a stop is put to whisky and other frauds. The contingencies growing out of the re construction policy of Congress are being guarded against by the foreign bankers, who are the largest holders of gold, and an impression very generally prevails that the tendency of the premium ia upward under the existing and prospective condition of financial, commercial and political affairs. . , , Government securities, after advancing sharply at the beginning of the week, reacted, under sales of specula tive lots to realize profits, P«r cent The market remained unsettled for two or three days, but on Friday and Saturday the speculative and investment demand quickened; and as the amount offering was very limited prices recovered nearly the whole of the declino, aed at the close on Saturday their tendency was strongly upward. The fact that money can be borrowed to any extent on theso securities at four per cent., while five-twenties yield six per centtin gold, is stimulating the speculative demand for them, and at the same time the banks and other corporations are buyers for the sake of finding erfiplofrnent for their surplus fund*. Although,there!ore,* quotations have advanced considera bly'during tbe past month, all the indications arc in favor of further material improvement. The firmneiß of the gold premium and of the market for five-twenties abroad is creating a demand for the bonds of 1862 and the old issue of 1865 for shipment There has been of late more speculative animation on the London Stock Exchange than for many months past ani in view of this and tbe fact that money is a drug in Lombard street atyai per cent per annum it would not ba sur prising if a decided advance took place in our securities held abroad. There is a difference of about one and a half per cent, in price betweemthc bonds of 1862 and 1865 but tnerc is no good reason for\lhU, and before long the two will doubtless be equalized. N. , The week opened on a very buoyant stock market with Eric leading tbe upward mevejuent, sales having been made as high -at 7but a reaction fob lowed, and special efforts were directed to the ctepre.*:- sionof Erie, which declined at one time, to 73J3<«r>3?«. False rumors of an .issue of new stock were invented and circulated by tbe leading bears m tho stock for the —*in«e of “ ’ "item*'' ‘ J -uid holders into selling &n«^ purpose of irightcning jinn- iiuu«- getting the etreet to wll it ‘'short,” with a view to buy ing bock thet stock they had sold at a then twisting the “short” and running the price up again. This is their deliberate design, atd this in technically .called “milking the street;” but swindling the etreet would be « more fitting terra to de-criho the operation by. The head and front of this movement was tue speculative director of the company whose efforts to depreciate the value of its stock furnish a commentary on railway man agement which mav be studied by (stockholders with profit. But for the .waste and corruption— the “stealings.” in the Erie management, its stocks would be worth paras a dividend-paying in vestment. but it ha>» foritp guiding light :< man who makes it, a* far as in hi- power lies, the football of Wall etreet. book at the difference between Erie a* 7414 and New York Central at l:xi. and contrast the nfanftg*-ment of the one CMDpary with the other. The latter ia ran for the benefit of the public and tho etockholdera. and the former for tin* bent-fir of the speculative director* in Wall etreet. Monopolist though In; may bo. if Mr. Vanderbilt took hold of Erie irwonld be a public servic", and the benefit confen-ed upon the company would be reflected in a rapid and permanent advance in the price of the stock, and the time will soon come when the control of thia'greitf property will be wrested from the hands of Uie present managers. The transactions in Erie wen* very heavy. and the speculative director is understood to have bought largely, under cover of bis hammering opora tions. The probability is that the stock will tow* obey the natural tendency of the market, as it is evident that he and the b*ari init generally have done all that it is J!Op?ible for them to do in order to accomplish their ob ectf.

We nave no quarrel witli Mr. Pendleton or Mr. Randall, bnt as neither mean good to the great Wav Debt of the Government, which the Re publican majority are as solemnly bound to protect aa they are to pension the widows and orphans of our dead soldiers and living but maimed be roes of the war, it is to lie hoped that in the ecqnel the followers of the?© gentlemen will be found exclusively on the Democratic aide. They mean quite as little good to the true office and high credit of our Green back 1 egal-tender Circulation. The minimum, if not the maximum, of this circulation, free of interest, has just been fixed by Congress at 000.000, and this sum the country will take care or whether under the sus pension or resumption of the Specie • afan durd.

We have no belief that Congress will touch the Le gal tender Act of February 25th,1862,and therefore deem it buperfluouß to traverse tho general views or the financial rpiM. ilic of this letter to legalize contracts in Gold ex clusively payable in Gold. There is no necessity and no Sopular call for tmeh legislation either for present conff cnce or convenience, or in order to arrive at the Specie standard, whenever the condition of the Treas ury, I the political situation, and the ability of the couofnr to make it successful, shall seem to justify re sumption. , Tho Public I r tmds, Gold hearing, are increasing in cre dit and advancing in price, in the firm belief tnat’Con greets will do nothing to impair tho faith of the Govern ment pledged to their payment. They are further strengthened by the opinion that tho Committee of \\ ays and Means of the House and the Finance Committee of the Senate, in adjusting tho minimum of tax ation and the maximum of expenditure, will pro vide, at an early day, for ftopping the issue of Gild-bearing Ktocku at two thousand millions of dollars.
