Prospects of Trade.
The gradual breaking away of the clouds
which, for the last three months, have dark
ened the political firmament, is bailed by
everybody as the dawn of returning prospe
rity. To no class are these hopeful indica
tions from the National Capital more grateful
than our merchants. The reasons for this are
obvious. With their own paper maturing,
their trade prostrate, and a large portion of
their capital in the hoods of non-paying cue
tomprs, scattered throughout the Union, their
position has been a trying one. That some
should have failed to make time under the
pressure of such a protracted calm is not sur
prising. It is fortunate, however, that the
real causes of this stagnation are purely arti
ficial. The internal elements of our national
prosperity have probably never been more
abundant than at the present moment. What
they need is to be restored to a healthy circu
lation. In this particular, our country, at the
present time, may be said to resemble a pow
erf al young Athlete, suddenly paralyzed by
en act of, injudicious indulgence. With a re
medy promptly administered, capable of re
moving the dangerous obstruction, life may
not only be -saved, but return to vigorous
health becomes almost instantaneous.
The intelligence from Washington on
Wednesday evening (a welcome illustration
that, sometimes at least, blessings, like mis
fortunes, do not come singly,) that the tariff
bill bad finally passed, and that the Peace Con
ference bad brought its patriotic labors to a
Successful issue, as also the morerecent Intel
ligence from Harrisburg of the passage of the
Tonnage Tax and the Sunbury and Erie bills,
was a signal for general rejoicing, and we feel
assured that the most desirable consequences
will immediately ensue. Capital will emerge
from its sensitive retirement, conlidence will
be restored, our marts of trade will soon re
sume their wonted activity at this season of
the year, our manufactories will resound with
their accustomed hum of industry, and our
business avenues will number in their throng
not only buyers from every section of the
great West, but from Virginia, Maryland, Ken
tucky, Tennessee, and the other Border States,
with a proportionate sprinkling from the sece
ded States. That the love of the Union will
be more warmly expressed than ever, by the
mass of these men, to whom, as a class, the
nation is, perhaps, more indebted for mainte
nance and strength of its fraternal bands than
any other, we have no doubt.
One marked effect of the auspicious indica
tions above referred to is already visible. In
many of our leading warehouses, in the job
bing trade especially, more energetic prepara
tions are making for business, and a few days
hence will find Market, Third, Chestnut, and
Front streets, in the best possible condition
to drive -an active trade. Stocks are not
generally heavy, but so far as we have seen,
they are admirably selected and have been
bought at prices that will offer unusual in
ducements to buyers. Were it not invidious
to discriminate, we might even now designate
houses that are doing almost their usual
amount of trade. As we remarked in a former
article, there is reason to fear that as the sea
son advances, one of the chief hindrances of
trade will probably be found in our inadequate
preparations to meet it. Should the season's
business assume anything like its usual pro
portions, this is sure to lollow, and scarcity of
the more desirable styles of goods and ad
vanced prices may be looked for. Still, this
may in the end have a salutary effect upon the
trade of the country, as an occasional dieting
is as essential to the health of traffic as of in
dividuals.
After all, under the most favorable circum
stances, the spring trade, from its lateness,
will necessarily be light. Houses trading
more exclusively with Pennsylvania and the
West may form an exception; yet even these
have usually found their sales, prior to the
first of March, to exceed their present opera
tions.
Upon the whole, the indications now are
that the inauguration, on Monday next, will
be speedily futlowed by a general activity in
mercantile circles. To merchants now fn the
city, on their way, or who may yet arrive, we
would recommend the list of first-class houses
which appear in our advertibing columns as
worthy of special attention. We may also
be allowed to suggest, in this connection,
that, as Tan Fazes has attained a circulation
through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illi
nois, and portions of Virginia, Kentucky, and
Tennessee, unequalled by any other daily
journal, its columns afford tho very best nie
din= for merchants to pay their newspaper
respects to the merchants of these sections.
New Mexico.
As nearly all the territory south of the line
of 36 deg. 80 min. belongs to New Mexico, a
great interest is felt in the probable character
of her institutions when she forma a State
Constitution. As her Territorial Legislature
has adopted a slave code, many suppose that
negro slavery will probably be permanently
established there. But her climate will pre
sent a considerable obstacle to its profitable
introduhtion, it being much colder than that
of Atlantic States of a similar latitude. An
other fact should be taken into consideration.
The system of Mexican peonage already exists
there, and it is a species of slavery more pro
fitable to the master than that which prevails in
our Southern States. The unfortunate peons,
when they once run in debt, are rarely en
abled to free themselves from it, and thus
their whole lives are passed away in servitude
to their creditors.
One of the most striking characteristics of
the population of New Mexico is their intense
aversion to every species of direct taxation,
sod so strong is this feeling that they would
probably prefer remaining in a Territorial
condition, with the expensea of their Govern
ment paid for out of the Federal Treasury, to
admission into the Union if they are to be
obliged to pay taxes to maintain the dignity
of a sovereign State.
Royal Exiles from Gaeta.
By the simple process of emptying the 41-
tuasach de Gotha Into `ourcolumns, we could
easily make a long and imposing list of per
sonages to be taken away from Gaeta, under
the article of capitulation which permits such
of the Royal Family of Naples as may be In
the fottreas to leave in a neutral vessel. The
fact is, only two members of - that deposed
House were in Gaeta at the time. These two
were Paancis IL, and his Bavarian wife. The

After a loog and severe winter we seem to be in

against what they conceive to be the sinister
eurroundings of the President elect. They al

but conservative men ; and one of their leaders
yesterday asserted that the Adminietratten would,
on this account, be a failure. The household of
Mr. Lincoln, including the gentlemen who mom
panted him from Illinois, are all earnest for adjust

in this correspondence, that Illinois voted for mast
Of the proporitions finally agreed upon by that Inc
portant convocation. the Peace Conference, cue
Meetly establishes the anxiety of the President
himself. All the probably members of the new
Cabinet, except, possibly, Mr. Chars, have latter
ly indicated their disposition to cultivate friendly
relations with the border slave States, and the fre
quent conference between Mr. Lincoln and such
statesmen as John Bell, John A. Gilmer, Emerson
Etheridge, and Themes Holliday Hicks, prove, lot

everything in his power to dissipate the prejudices
of the Southern people.
The venerable Chief Justice of the United States,
Roger B. Taney, will be present in hie judicial

The unmet interest is felt as to the chat actor of
the Inaugural, and I am assured by one who pro
fesses to know, that it will be animated by the
loftiest and most conciliatory spirit. Whether it
will be forwarded to the different eines, as hereto
fore, I am not able to state, but I hope that it will
be received with high favor by thapeople.
Mr. Sherman deserves great credit for the man
ner in which be hes dovetailed and disposed of
huffiness in the Roue of Representatives. Every_
thing is in a state of unusual forwardness, and
the uncommon spectacle is presented of an
early adjournment every day, no protracted
night sessions having yet been held ; and by to
morrow evening, all the appropriation bills will, I
think, have passed, and been signed by the Presi
dent. Nothing, therefore, but the 'occurrence of
some overt sot, on the part of the Cotton Staten,
will necessitate the calling of an extra session,
and even this may not be requisite, should Mr.
Lincoln act upon the theory that the Constitution
clothes him with sufficient power to enforce the
laws, and to punish all who flutist them.
The United States Treasury has recovered from
its temporary embarrassments, and the rapid
lions of the officers of Congress have been re•
sponded to, and, during the last few days, the
public creditors have been rapidly paid off. The
tariff bill, which will be a law by to morrow, win
enable the Government to raise money enough for
all rightful purposes, and the stimulant it will
furnish to business, particularly in those depart
manta of domestic industry in which Pennsylvania
and New Jersey are so deeply interested, will
affect all the channels of trade.
It is significant to observe the tone of most of the
new members of the Senate, waiting to take their
seats at the extra session of that body on the 4th
of March, and of all who came here for the purpose
of making application for the various offices in the
gift of the new Administration. I have yet to meet
one who does not take open ground in favor of an
ejestment of our national troubles. Prominent
among the newly-eleeted Senators, who eve* their
feelings in this direction, may be classed Ron.
Henry S. Lane, of Indiana, the successor of Dr.
Graham N. Fitch, and Ron. Ira Barris, of New
York, the successor of Win. H. Seward, both of
them Itepublicaes; maim Eon. Mr. Nesmith, of
Oregon, the successor of the illustrious General
Joe Lane. Every candidate for collector of Phila•
dolphin, Baltimore, New York, Beaton, and the
principal online seems, by intuition, to have anti
eipated the wishes of the President elect, and
avows everywhere the utmost solicitude for a
peaceable reconciliation and settlement.
An unusual competition will take place between
the competitors for patronage. The fact that seven
or eight Southern States have seceded from the
Union does not seem in the slightest degree to have
affected these candidates. It seems in truth to have
increased their number. In the South many of these
who held eines+ under Mr. Buchanan are resigning
in advance. Thus an early question will be pre
sented to the new Administration, where to find
persons willing to accept office at its hands in
those States. This is another argument in favor of
peace, because it is manned that, few Southern
men will be willing to act as the representatives of
an Administration that stubbornly insists upon
placing itself upon extreme anti-slavery ground.
The complexion of the new Senate will give the
Republicans a decided majority, and Mr. Lincoln,
acting upon the theory that no State has a right to
secede, will, of course, send nominations to that
body for all tee Federal officers in those Suttee,
and will, unquestionably, insist upon these officers
performiug their duties.

WASHINGTON, March 1,1861
The Evening Star of last night stated that Mr.
Lincoln had under consideration an offer of a meat
in hie Cabinet to Governor Andrew Johnson, of
Tennessee. Though there is not the alighted
doubt that the whole country, North and South,
would hail this selection with the greatest pleasure
and gratification, in view of the eminent and pa
triotic services which Governor Johnson hes per
formed in behalf of the Union, at a time when
even Northern Senators were afraid to speak, yet,
I teal confident, and authorised to say, that the
Goventor, having never held office under any Ad
ministration. nor intending to hold any hereafter,
and being unwilling to accept any politiesl honors
if not direct from the people, no matter how high
they may be, has not the slightest wish to enter
tain such an idesfor a moment.
It is exceedingly distressing to observe how Mr
Lincoln is overrun by small politicians: and office
hunters, the moat of them aspiring to nothing
higher than a $1,200 clerkship, and even hue than
that. If they would take into oonsideration that
all these places are to be given out by the different
Seeretaries of the Departments, who themselves
have not yet been appointed, they would soon dis
cover that it Is their interest not to trouble Mr.
Lincoln as much as they do new. They will only
make themselves disagreeable. Oar city is full of
this class of people ; but yet, hotel-keepers com
plain that they do not do half as much
business as in former times. The Southern
people, many of whom Canto here for pleasure,
attracted by the ceremonies incident to a Presi
dential inauguration, and freely spent their money,
are this year represented in very small numbers.
The , greater mass of our strangers here now want
to get places, and husband their money. You
may see every day, In some secluded spots of the
public parks, well-dressed men enjoying a hearty
weld over a loaf of bread_ and eintillgel. baying
most likely mated a aleeping.rooro, without board,
in some rintiote parts of the city. - This is rather
mournful, especially when it is considered that
more than two thirds of them will have to return
home disappointed. Hard times in the North have
done a great deal to increase the lust after oMoe,
and, therefore, the number of applicants for small
clerkships is almost incredible.
The galleries in the Senate and House, to-day,
were crowded to the utmost capacity. Everybody
seemed to be ex.:lone to learn if Clongreea and
especially the Senate, would feel inclined to adopt
the resolution. of the Peace Conferenee. But there
is little hope that it will be dons. The extremists
of both sides are against it. Mr. Seward, knowing
that it cannot pato the Senate by a two.thlrds Tote,
as constitutionally required, and fearing the eftect
in the slays States by its rejection, hue tried, by
his amendment, offered in addition to the remit:t

facts combined rather depress the hopeful spirits
of all patriots, and apprshenalons are felt that,

the coinage of the branch mint at New Orleans

treasurer. These reports and ethics for the month
of January have been received,. but the weekly
returns since the close of the Month have been
omitted to be dent to me,
It thus appears that the institution in 'question
is notoondanting its operations in a lawfulananner,
and although it is still a branch of the mint of the
United Statea, (for no action of the State of Lentil
anis can legally alter its relation to the General
Government,) yet, as its coinagefrom the close of
the month of January will not be subject to the
tests req aired by law, it hoe practically ceased to
be a branch of the mint. The coinage of that
Manch is designated by the letter 0 on the reverse
-alga of each piece. The twine struck in January
are legal coins of the United States ; but as these
pieces cannot be distinguished from others coined
since that time, having the date of 1801, the whole,
coinage of thiayear ought to be diseredited by the
Government. The announeement should be made - ,
either by the proclamation of the President ' or by
sot of Congress, if the former should not bedeetin
ed proper, that the coins of the branch mine at
New One ens of the year 1881 are not of - lise stein
age of the United btates, and are therefore , pet a
legal tender in the payment of debts; said coins
are designated by the letter oon the reverse of
each piece.
I may here state that the coins . eternised at San
Francisco are designated by the letter 8; tbeee of
Babies:tags (Georgia) by the letter I); anal of Char- ,
lotto (North Carolina) by the letter C. The chin!,
age of the mint at Philadelphia May be hover:4l/f
the absence of any letter or mint mark.
The coining dies are prepared at the Mint in
Philadelphia for the branches. I furnished at the
close of th)ii last year, the following number of
working 'tithe for 1881 : double eagles, 3 obverses
and 3 reversal; eagles, 2 obverses; half eagles, 2
obverses ;three dollar, 2 obverses (the date Is on
tlie • reinaree of this 'defra); quarter -eagle, 4.0 -
Verses ; gold dollar, 2 reverses (same as three.
dollar piece) ; silver dollar, 2 obverses ; half-dot
tar, 12 obverses ; qearter-dollar, 4 obverses ; dime
2 'obverse's, 2 reverses; half-dime, 2 obverses, 2 '
reverses
In reference to these dies, I suggest that it Is
desirable that the agent of the department should
be requested to call at the branch mint anitatak to
have them delivered to him for the purpote of re 7
turning them to the mint at Philadelphia. The
person in charge of that institution may, perhaps, be
willing to comply with this request. if so, it will
relieve ue from the embarrassment of having coins
issued purporting to be the acting of the United-
States, but which are not subject to the tutineytirand
trials required by law.
I may add, as appropriate to this oomitnnica
,tloo, that the building of the branch mint at New
Orleans, including the rendering of it fire-prootela
1850-'66, ooet the United States the sum of $591,.
614 06. The amount of bullion in that institution
at the present time. the property of the United
'Slates, Is $389.267 48 ; to which must be added
the balance to the oreoit of the United States on the
carnage charge, and for purchases of silver, (pro
-140 $l2 413 62.
- The ground upon which the branch mint la
erected, known as " Jackson Square," was con
veyed to the United Santee by the authorities of
the city of New Orleans on the 19th day of Jane,
1835 It was a donation by the city to the United
States.
I have the honor to be, with great respect, your
faithful servant, JAMES Ross Snowmen',.

SIR : This morning a oommittee of the Conven

of the State of Louisiana.
As soon as I can get a oopy of the ordinance I
will forward it to you. Yours, very truly,

Pennsylvania in the Peace Confer—
Conference.
No State in the Peace Congress occupied a more
eommandiog position titan the old Keystone; and
it must be a source of great s gratificiation to Gov.
CURTIN that the distinguished .gentlemen commis
sioned by bim performed their important duty so
ably, and with ouch general satisfaction.
Mr. FRANKLIN was among the meet indtintri9ne
and earnest in the Convention, and : the fact tbat,
his proposition was adopted is eigal.fieant of
fitness for trash a position.
Governor Pottocs commanded; in'in eminent
degree, the esteem and tuimilation sof his colleagues
from all the States. Ills clot:molt speeches were
always well timed and listenedite with profound
attention. Hie voice !rp -- always on the side of
peace end amicable - adjustment, and it icnot tco
much to ray that he was one of the moakilifinentiel
members of that body._
Messrs Loomis and MaKunsen were,
colleagues, unremitting ILL their endeavors to
bring-about a result at once harmonious and satis
factory to all parties. The elccinentepeeoh of the
former, on the occasion of Judge WEIGHT'S dila*,
made's lasting Impgaasion_npon_allmtio , heard it,
audit is subeequent efforts in ConeenrOn arespd,_
ken of in highly eulogistic terms.. 'Judge Wine's ? ,
as the Representative of his State on the Committee
of Twenty-one, worked with the determined pur
pose of produtiog the result aohoppity 'attained..
On the main portion of the report, as finally
adopted, Messrs. SLISItIeDI2II24 WILUOT &pouted
from the vote of their colleagues, but thronighont
the entire proceedings of the Convention - they
evinced an anxious desire to arrive at a settlenient
which, whilst according with the principles they
held, would bring beak the country toll/ origins/.
quiet.
Mr. 31.1811DITH took no active part in the de-:
bates ; but Judge AV-10NT, Ism informed, daring'
the last few days, was frequently on the floor, and
by his frank and manly course gained univereal
esteem. After concluding the first epeeeh he made
in the Convention, General Dosipass, of Mie
genii, and Several other prominent Southern loom
missloners, as well aa those from the North, flocked
around him and offered their oordial congratula
tiona—thanking him for his " straightforward,
courteous, and manly " speech.
Thus it will be seen that the people of Pennsyl
vania have abundant reasons to be gratified with
the Commission eo judiciously appointed by Got.
Cuavoa, and authorized by the Legislature. It is
to he hoped that the people will bare an opportu—
nity of confirming the cotton of the Conference.

GENERAL NEWS.
C. L Wilson, thrptirialpal builder of the Bar:me
mento Valleyltailroad, was attached on the 14th,
by Messrs. Alsop di Co., for 1110,000 It is not
known yet whether this will have any effect on the
progressing extension of the road. The annual ye
port on the condition of that portion of the Valley
road completed shows a surplus of receipts over
expenditures of 1100,000, against $90,000 surplus
lase yesr.
Some eight or nine different companies are en
deavoring to get bills through the Legislature au
thorizing street railroads in San Francisco.
Abernethy, Clark, et Co., extensive lumber mar

Lady Franklin sailed yesterday for British Co
lumbia.
The pony express, with Atlantic -telegraphic
dotes via Fort Hearne, to 2d, February, arrived at
Carson Valley yesterday, whence the news of the
passage of the Pacific Railroad bill by the Senate
was immediately telegraphed .to San. Francisco.
The intelligence is joyfully revolved, as is she the
more favorable prospect of an early seittlement, by
compromise, of the disunion question.
A telegraphic despatch from Lot Angeles, last
evening, announces .the arri al of . the lateciming
°Tolland mail stage, two days behind dip., with
out any mail, the letter-bag having been left at
Tucson, Western Arizona, on account of Indian
troubles on the route.
Troops from Fort Buchanan are reported to
have proceeded to the Apache country, with a
prospect of protecting the maltreats; so that the
next stage may be expected in due time with al
the delayed mail matter.
The news from the Sandwich Islands, per Zoe,
is to the 21st of ganuary, being one month later.
Business at the Islands was dull, the rainy season
and absence of whalers preventing activity. Three
remarkably short passages from San Francisco to
Honolulu are recorded. The Aro . rwester and Comet,
both inside of ten days, and the Fazrwznd in eight
days and seven hours—tbe latter being the quick
eat passage ever made. The aommerelai statistics
'of the kingdom for 1880, prepared by the Collector
General, are publiehed. In nearly every item, a
large falling off is shown from the tables of the pre
vious years. The ceases of this decline are attribu
ted mainly to the decrease in foreign whale ships
visiting the Islands, and in part to the new tariff
of ten per cent. on merchandise of all kinds, which
went into forge in Jane, 1860.
