The determined opposition these aropositeme will encounter from the existing relit-cads, whose lutes eats be effected by the •onstruction of the proposed lines, will in all ptobabllity prevent any action upon these bills 4ering the present session, and perhaps defeat the measure entirely, as it is a doubtful question with many Senators and Representatives whether ngiess possesses the power to grant such charters. If they once open the doors to this kind of legislation, there will be no end to it, and ppacations will pour in for chartering insurance. tearing and manufaeturing companies, and every , cuagimahle private enterprise. If Congress charters these railroad companies, it can, with quell propriety, grant charters to any other pri nte and th e time which should be occupied in general legislation will be consumed in the consideration of these private bills; and ice system of "lobbying," which has now grown to be a serious evil, will be increased a hundred told. There may, perhaps, be good reasons why there should be greater railroad facilities between Washington city and the West, bat there is really none for additional railroads at present between t,ere and the North, for those already inexistence are fully adequate for all the busineas, and are as well managed, if not better, than any new rail roads could possibly be. Every attention is paid to the comfort of the traveling public. The "alas North run on faster time now than ever before, and the rates are as low as could be af forded, to leave a fair margin of profit to the, companies. The "oil-line's' last proposition was o build a road to New York, by way of York sad Columbia, Pa., so as to avoid Palladelphia entirely; and in moat of their statements they represent Philadelphia as a mere "village," A hose interests or wants are scarcely worth con sideration. lON CASES OF ASSESSOR ENGELBERT AND COL- Liccrop. swA These gentlemen, being the Assessor and Col lector of Internal Revenue of the Seventh Die, triet of Pennsylvania, have united in a printed petition to the United States Senate, setting forth the charges which had been made against them, which charges were investigated by D. P. Seuthwortie Eel., Supervisor for the , Eastern District of Pennsylvania, who fully exonerated these officials from any stain upon their official crier:lett:re. It will be remembered that the President bag nominated for these positions the names of Percy B. Spear, for Collector, and Col. W. Cooper Talley, for Assessor, and their names are now before the Senate Finance Committee. the present incuMbeets are desirous of holding their positions, Mad will make a vigorous con test against the confirmation of the parties nomi nated tor their offices.

The following circular, concerning the re packing and reiaspectlon of certain kinds of tobacco, was promulgated to-day from the In ternal Revenue Bureau. "TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE, WASHINGTON, December 28, 1868. Section 78 of the Act of July 20, 1868. as amended by the Act of December 22, 1868, provides that etter the fifteenth day of February, 1869, no sleeking or fine-cut chewing tobacco or snuff shall be sold or offered for eale unless put up in packages and stamped as required by said act. It is represented that, notwithstanding the ex tension of time, many dealers will be put to great inconvenience and expense unless they can be permitted to repack stocks on hand now in bulk packages Into the packages as now required by law, under the supervision of the proper officers of internal revenue. "In order to furnish the relief desired, it is di rected that the repacking and reinspection of such steels may bo made under the following regulations, viz.: "Any dealer In manufactured tobacco who has • made a true and correct inventory and return of the same to the assessor of the district, as re quired by section 78, may apply to such assessor, and on submitting to hint satisfactory proof that the tobacco which the dealer desires to repack and have reinspected was properly inspected under the former law,and was included 111 his in ventory made pursuant to Section 78 of the Ant of July 20, 1808, said assessor may direct an lit specter of tobacco for the district to - supervise • the repacking.

DISCHARGE Or CODIPOSITOR3 AT THE GOVERNMENT PRLVTINH OFF/GE. On Saturday last _twenty-five compositors at the Government Printing Office were furloughed, l) rcmptory orders basing been given the fore man (Mr. C. F. Lathrop) by the Superintendent to reduce the force. It, is supposed that the emer gency arose in consequence of a want of Congres sional appropriations to continue the maximum force at work. A PHILADELPHIAN SETTLENG IN ALEXANDRIA. Captain A. A. Semmes, U. S. N., late of Ger mantown, Pa., has purchased the property of Wm.

"Hearth, and Homo,' We could hardly want a better demonstration of the favor accorded to Hearth and Nome, the new weekly edited by Mrs. Stowe and Donald Mitchell, than the fact that demands fir the second number were made in excess of all expee tation,so as to incommode the printers and delay the appearance of the paper. Henceforward, we are assured, that kind of embarrassment is pro sided against. The third numbsr is one that would have been turned over with delight by Cowper at Olney. It is filled up with contributions from gentlemen who can write pithily of the products they have cultivated in their fields or gardens, and gossip from ladies who can give to the pretty worst of their fingers a new charm by their pleasant way of purrieg over it. Bayard Taylor describes his lack in raising corn brought up from Cuzeo by Mr. Squier, and melons of the Caspian shores transported from Russia. A great quantity of farming experiences follow, told by gentlemen who can wield tbe•pen and hoe Impar tially. The household articles, by a number of ladles, never fall below the easy and pleasant character in which Mrs. Stowe has been preach ing from the chimney corner, and Mrs. Hannibee practising in the Intervals of her diary. The former gives some good advice to would-be euthoresses. Grace Greenwood shares with tier readers a charming reverie of Byron from the walls of Newstead. But we cannot define the separate articles ; there are spirited illustrations by a. L. Stephens and Har ley; and the whole paper chimes in admirably with that reverberation of home comfort and fire side repose which Is the general tone of the well to-do American family at the hour when work is over and the paper is spread beneath the evening lamp —Address Pettengill. Bates & Co., 37 Park Row, N. Y. THE GEORGIA NEGRO MOM 'Abe 1.a1. 6 4. Pews from the Scene of the Trouble. The Savannah New, of Saturday. says: lbe state of aifaira on the Ogeechee continues to be the all-absorbing topic throughout. Me city, and people eagerly listen to all reports and rumors, however wild or improbable they may be, which come from that section. We have from a gentleman, who came up yes terday morning, a confirmation of the report that the negroea. in strong force, and thoroughly htmr , i were lying near the railroad, watching the movements of and prepared to resist the 8 entre posse which went down on Wednesday. When the train moved off, he says, some six or &even hundred negroes came out on the railroad. and the leaders went about cursing and saying. "The white were afraid to come and attack urt,and have gone back for more men." He says that there is a very large force of the uegroes at No. 1, and that they are determined to resist any attempt to arrest them. The negroes from the Augusta road were cross it g to the Ogeechee in large numbers yesterday, and joining the insurrectionary bands. The latest news which we have from the scene of the trouble represents it as spreading, and that the negroes, by threats and intimidations, are foreleg those who are disposed to remain pt seeable to join them. When the Gulf Railroad train arrived at No. 1 last evening nothing unusual occurred. No ne eroes appeared, but posted in a conspicuous place was a manifesto, which must have come trot:l;i Bolcmon Farley. Planters who have seen bt rude attempts at writing, recognize it, and as lie was the only man arrested by the Sheriff on Tuesday, there is every reason to believe him to tt.e author. The paper reads as follows : Ageechee,Chatham County Ga To The nblick At Large I has been accused in the midst of (17) or 18 men's as a Capt. which cants not be approved for Stealing Tucker & Middleton's Rice, the party Has Accused Me & Drawn me in for a Old Grudge. the Sheriff Ar rested me and Brought me Some 4 orb Miles to Station No. 1. and their Came up as Party of the Loyal Lea pore.

The Harrisburg Patriot 01 yesterday says; The town of Shippensburg and vicinity, Cum berland county, was thrown into great, (melte went on Friday by the report that Henry Stem, a stranger, had been found about two miles south of that place with his throat cut from ear to ear, and his skull crushed. Suspicion immediately centered on Adam Titus, then at Shippensburg, who was arrested and imprisoned. After an In quest had been held on the body of the murdered man the prisoner was brought face to face with the supposed victim of his hellish depravity. While looking upon hie inanimate form he blanched, thereby confirming the suspicions of his guilt. When interrogated as to his association with him, he acknowledged' that he had been in his company and that they quarreled, whereupon he struck Stem. It appears that Titus had been absent from borne a few days, and upon his re turn his family inquired where he had been. An swering them evasively they made an examina tion around the premises, when they found the murdered man buried on the bank of a pond, a abort distance from the house, with his person mutilated as above described. The horrible crime, was committed for the purpose of getting about forty dollars, which he was known to have had in his possessloP. The Fog on the Delaware.

In tbo mean rime we have bad bad weather of every kind •-•- fog, rain, sleet, snow, slash and mad. Daring Saturday, and Sunday nights the streets were covered with ice, and the sleighing hing good, many persons availed themselves uf the oppor tunity, to have a little sport of• thatklad. The fretzing of the rain as it fell caused the trees to present a very pretty appeartnee, but the to„ of the Ice greatly damaged the tree sin the suburbs; some were stripped of all of their smaller limbs, and in many instances large limbs were broken off. Yesterday the atmo sphere was sultry, and a drizzling rain prettified. This had the effect of removing the Ice from the, sidewalks, and give pedestrians a fair chance again. Last night there were several hard showers, and some of the streets looked like small rivers. To-day 'the same old drizzling rain Is on hand again. 8I(xE ROBBER C.ArtinT.—This morning shoat half-past, three o'clock the store No. 13 North Eighth street was entered from the rear. A pri vate watchman, who was on duty in that' neigh borhood, discovered that something was wrong in the store, and Sergeant II minima and Police man Steward, of the Sixth District, posted them selves in an 'alley in the rear of the More. A young man leaped the fence and attempted to make his way into Market street, bat was stopped by the policemen and taken into custody.

(For the nits&!Oda Evening Bulletin.] !Foreign Missions and the &inashouse. About twenty-five years ago, a Christian man of this city, devoted himself to the cause of for eign missions. Being a printer by trade, he was engaged by one of our largest foreign missionary institutiorts to go to China to print the ecrip tures in the Chinese language. To qualify himself for greater usefulness, be learned the art of casting type; and before he left this country, with the aid of a Chinaman, he finished a complete font of Chinese type. He then went to China as a missionary printer, and during about tea years, mode a number of fonts of Chinest type, and was entirely engaged in printing the scriptures and other religions books In the Chinese language. As his location was excessively hot and debilita ting, - he lost his health and came rack to his native land. After all this service in this good cause, this man is now in the Blockley Almshouse! Hallam no money, and failing to find any employment, he was compelled to seek a refuge from starvation and the gold. Think of this, Christian brethren, you who have everything about yen that can contribute to your comfort and gratify your taste. Ought such a thing to be permitted in a Christian community titre this? Ought such a man to be allo wed to pine away without Christian sympathy, and die in an almshouse? Who will volunteer hereatter to early the Gospel tobthe heathen, if such is likely to be the ehd of a life spent in this self sacrificing service ? The writer of this knew this man as a consistent Christian and faithful Sunday school teacher, forty years ago, and his confidence in his piety is unabated. Brethren, read over the 25th chapter of Matthew, verses 31st and 46th, and then say whether you can afford to take no in terest in this case. H. A. CITY NOTICES.
