To the Stockholders of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail voad Company: The managers submit the following report of the receipts and expenditures for the year ending bro. vember 30, 1863, with the Treasurer's general ha. lance-sheet, exhibiting the financial condition of the company at that date : (Roe follows transportation and income account, which we condense as follows Receipts from 576,861, equal to 211,970 through passengers $666.520 38 CI " 662 363 tons merchandise. 673,142 61 ft " 8,065 262 tons coal at $1 69 8-10 per t0n.... 4/ " Untied States mail " other mourns Grose receipts $6,252,902 02 Transportation expenses-41,688,166 32 Roadway expenses 374,211 99 Dumpage, rents, taxes, pro. lit and loss, insurance, &a.

IC 61 " 1662.... Total reserved fund $2,171,259 29 The seasonof 1863 has been one of unprecedented prosperity to those engaged in the productionand transportation of coal. Owing to the freshet. of June, 1862, and the subsequent demand, it was found impossible to accumulate the usual stock of coal for the winter consumption of the Atlantic cities. The season of 1863, from this cause, opened with a bare Market, and, although there has been an increased production during the year just closed of 1,800,008 tons, there to, in consequence of the increased de• mend, no stock in first hands for sale, in any of the great inarkets. The following tabular statement in detail for each branch of traffic shows the comparative results of the year : Travel " Werchandhe Octal Mal] - 111Weellemeous".. 2,310,991 Groom receipts Gross expenses...

" 1863 46 64100, if Increase, 22.166 " It will thus be seen that the additional charge for transportation has only equaled the increased cost, and that no greater sum has been collected from the public than was necessary to maintain the same proportion to the expense. as in the previous year. The receipts and expenses for each, per.passenger and per ton, have Mena, follows—viz : Per paseenaer....teon $1 10 4-10ir e e'd, $2 67 3.10 3ft , Moe, ton 63 ll6 s Coal, " ea 36 840 " 124 6-10 Per passenger.

A condition of some of the mortgages is, - that such appropriations are required only when the bonds can be purchased at or under par, while in others, the amount stated must be annually invested, either in the bonds of the Company, or elovernment Beau• Mies. The last annual report stated the balance then due the sinking funds to be $491,458 04 Appropriation for 1863 was 21%830 30 Amount required to Nov, 30, 1863 $702,288 34 As some classes of the bonds to which the sinking funds still apply, have been selling much above their par value, it has.been deemed wise to make de. posits in the United States Mint at an interest of five per cent., payable on ten days' notice. This is intended to continue Only until the bonds can be bought at a suitable price. As other of the bonds of the Company could be purchased at or near par, the investments in some of the sinking funds have been anticipated. Appropriations have therefore been made as follows, viz Purchase of bonds for sinking funds, now due - $150,997 61 Deposit in United States Mint 400,000 00 Purchase of other bonds of the Company. 274,268 74 It will thus be seen that the appropriations exceed the requirements $122965 91 This Company has been subjected in past years to great embarrassment, and been compelled to make heavy sacrifices to meet at maturity obligations for which no proper provision had or could be made. The wisdom of reducing the debt, by purchasing the securities before maturity, or by the accumulation of a fund to meet it, cannot be doubted. The bonded debt has been still farther reduced du ring the decal year: By conversion of Lebanon Valley 7 per cents bonds into stock 28,000 00 By conversion of Lebanon Valley 1807. 86 6 per cent. bonds into 936,600 00 By real estate bonds paid 172 16 Also, since the close of the fiscal year : Bonds of Lebanon Valley 7 per cents have been converted into stock 05,000 Co Bonds of 1857.86 have been converted into stock 1,024,000 00 Some of the holders or the bonds issued in 1841, and payable July 1, 1860, and which originally were entitled to be converted into stock, (at the option of the bolder.) till they matured, and which were ex- tended to July 1, 1880, still elsinsthe right of conver sion' on the ground that the bonds were extended be fore the option of conversion expired, and that the extension carried with it all the original privileges, as well OS security. The managers could not acqui esce in this view. The question will be finally de aided within the next few months. Should the de- oision be in favor of the right to Convert, the privi lege will inure to all holders of this class of bonds, - and the 'took will be issued to such of them as re quest it. Anticipating the great demand that Would be made for largely-increased transportation faollities, the - Board of Illanagera determined to purchase and Md. nnfacture cars and engines aufflaient, in their opi nion, for the businems. Large ae these acquisitions. have been, they were found entirely inadequate to meet the demand. So great an increase of rolling stook necessarilyrequired additional sidings, work shops; he., which, owing to the great difficulty in obtaining materials and labor, have not yet been so far completed as such an augmentation of business demand.. Dieing the year, thirty-two additional canal barges have been purchased for the transportation of coal from Richmond, through the Delaware and Raritan Canal, to New York. A regular and constant supply Of transpoita at the wharves at Richmond is of the first importance, not only in facilitating the ship ments of coal, b ut in giving regularity and stability to the rates of freight. The chief items of expenditure which have been thus made are as follows—viz : . . Cs end engines. 729197 98 Machinery and Workshops 21,078 07 Real Estate • v 238 . 019 29 Coal barges 77,880 09 $1,068,776 34 The stock. And bonds held by the company have been increased chiefly by investments in the lateral railroad', to increase the buelness and profits of the main line. In pursuance of the polioy of obtaining control of the various lateral coal railroads, which-has so re• peatedly secured your approval, the manager, en tered into negotiations for the purchase or lease of the Minehill and Schuylkill Raven Railroad. As this work was under lease to the Schuylkill Navi gation Company the negotiation naturally involved some arrangement with the latter company. The agreements are not yet executed. Thepending ne gotiations will probably result substantially as : Ist. This company le permanently to lease the Minehill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad at an an• nual rent of eight per cent. on the capital stook. 2d, The profit or loss on this lease and others now held by this company are to be divided with the Schuylkill Navigation Company in proportion to the coal tonnage which may be received from such ateral railroads. The coal tonnage received be ween April let and December 15th of each year, it is assumed shall be divided between the two works in the proportions of forty-live per cent. to the Schuylkill lqavigation Company, and fifty-five per cent to this company, until the tonnage of the ca nal reaches 1,750,000 tons. This division is sub stantially that which has existed for many years. hbould either company have more than its propor tion, it is to pay the other 25 cents per ton of coal , on such excess. Owing to the interruption to business caused by Um invasion of the State, in July last, and the general sparsity of laborers, the pier at New Castle and the Junction Railroad have not been completed this year, as was expected. Three and a half miles of the Yuma. tion Railroad are now in daily use, for thepassage of a portion of the city coal trade, and for the passenger trains between New York and Washington. The remainder of the line, about one mile in length, will be completed during the coming summer. The reports of the General Superintendent and Chief Engineer are appended. The expenditures and investments to which refs. renee has been made have absorbed the cash re. souroen of the comriy.

Governor Shepley's order—Chirletmas Cele bration among the Black ktegintents—A Prayer for the President, ez.v. Brig. Gen. George F. Shepley, Military Governor of this State, has issued an important order, calling upon the Register of voters for the city of New Or leans ' and also those of the several parishes of the State of Louisiana, to administer the oath in the President's Proclamation to all those who may be dogtrot', of taking it. This Order does not in any way interfere with the registration of voters already in operation under a previous Order of the Gover nor—it only administers this oath to those who may desire to take it—so that should the President insist upon this oath as a qualification for electors, those who have taken it will only have to procure a fresh certificate of registration so as to be able to vote. • Whether or not an entirely new registration is to take place, I hardly know, but I should think not ; and the order just issued by Governor Shepley looks as if there would not be, unless some direct order comes from Washington to that effect, of which he would have been advised before this. Besides, the President distinctly says In his Proclamation, that although the plan he recommended was the beat that • suggested itself at the time, he does not bind hint ;self to it if any other equally effective can present itself. All that the Union men of Louisiana have therefore to do, is to go on steadily and perseveringly, precisely as they were doing. before, enroll every loyal roan, and not cease iirttiffir efforts until Loins lane presents herself ready to establish a free State. This they are zealously doing, and, judging from the success that has hitherto attended their efforts, there is not the remotest doubt of her being speedily en rolled among the Free States of the Union—" Gov ernor" Riddell, and " Senators " Coffman, Field and Baker to the contrary notwithstanding.—Correapond ence Times. TH.P. BLACK RICOIMIINTS ON. THEIR FIRST PRICE CHRISTMAS. Christmas Day was observed in the Southern plantation style. General Andrews suspended ail labor except the regular police duties, and the day was given to the troops to be spent in, harmless amusements. The officers of all the regiments spent thousand, of dollars for the purpose of affording every possible opportunity to the mew to enjoy themselves. We had the greased pole, the greased pig, the sack race, and other sports, all of which passed off admirably. In Colonel James 0. Clerk's regiment there was a meeting announced to take place at 11 o'clock in the school hotme. The object Of the meeting, as stated by aWI orderly, was "to Word de soldier', of de 7th an opertunity for ex prenini dere feeling for die first ,free Christmas." At the appointed hour, the meeting was called to 'order, and Sergeant McClellan appointed chairman, and Sergeant Joseph Mengin secretary. A .fervent prayer was offered for the President of the United States, for Congress, for all the Go verilort, for all the judges, for all the generals and officers of the army and navy, and for all who have. been made free by the Government, as well as all who dare yet in bonds. At the conclusion of the prayer, nearly all were , $, tears. Evidentlyievery onefelt the moirridillere gratitude for "dig first free Christmas," as they called it. No sooner had the prayer been offered than speeches were made by Rev. Mr. Conway, Captain Horace E. Kimball, r Limitenant R. G. Seymour, and by each of the non. commissioned officers. One man whose speech I shall never forget, spoke about as follows: • "FELLOW.SOLDIBBS OF DB SEISENT/I EZEIIMENT I is mighty glad to enjoy dig portunity for enjoying die lust free Christmas in die world what we live in. A year ago, where was wet We was down in de dark land of slavery. And now where are wet We are free men, and soldiers of de Unite States. And what have we to dot We have to fight de rebels so dat we never more be slaves. When de day of battle come what will we do ? I speak for me, and I say for myself, I go and fight de rebels till de last man die. Yes, under de flags what was pre sented to us from New York, we fight till de last man die; and if I be de last man, what will 'I do 4- I hold up de flag?, and if I die, den I go to my grave cousified for doing my, duty. De President of de United States is one great man what has done more good den any oder man what ever was horned. I bless de Lord we fight for so good Com mander. I have no more to say now and evermore —Amen." , Several speeches were made, and the above is a fair sample of them all. When the non commissioned officers had all spoken, the following resolution, were offered and passed with a shouting "Yea !" peculiar to these people : Resolved, That this being our first free Christmas. we, the non commissioned officers and soldiers of the 7th Regiment, Corps d'Afrique, do hereby express our deep sense of gratitude to that Divine Provi. dence through whom we have been delivered from our cruel bondage anti brought to enjoy this liberty. Resolved, That we owe a debt of gratitude to the Government of the United States which time and labor can never repay. Resolved, That we cannot express in words our love for the President of the United States, as lan guage is too weak to convey that estimation in which we hold him who has been to us what Moses was to Israel of old, and to justice and humanity so true and faithful a friend. Resolved, That, as soldiers of the United States, we desire to be ever true. always ready to fight our enemies, and never willing to give up till they are crushed. Resolved, That, as soldiers of the '7th Regimentewe will always strive to do honor to the flags presented to in by kind friends in New York. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be pre.

John Heller, a sharp member of thelOorps d'A.f. rique, was brought before the court on a charge of having grossly insulted some ladies on the street, and otherwise behaving in a rude and beastly man ner. He was sent back to his regiment with a for. feiture of one month's pay. Thomas Bliley, of the Ist New Orleans, was up for beating and threatening a negro. He said that the negro first crowded him on the banquette. A for feiture of one month's pay was the penalty.. D. 0. Conley, an Indiana soldier, was up for sound ing some high notes in a music store. He, too, has to forfeit tone month's pay. Hannah Campbell was up for singing the Bonnie Blue Flag in her own yard. She said she was only humming the Red, White, and Blue to please the baby, and the uhrouidcal leatherhead had mistaken it for rebel' music. The judge told her to go this time, but warned her to be careful about the charac ter of the songs she sang to her responsibility. 3111XICO. The Siege of Aguascalientes—lts Stirrender to the French—The Expected French 00- • cupation of San Luis—AnticiPated. Flight of Juarez to Texas, ake. - New OrtIMANS, Jan. 3,-1864. News from Mexico via Tampico, 224 ult., has just been received in this city. it is as follows: The Archbishop of Melba°, Senor Labastids, has re signed his place in the regency. ,EteneralOomonfort bad been killed by assassinsandnetby soldier s of the Imperial Government, which had offered a reward for their apprehension. The news from San Luis Potosi is up to the 10th of December. The principal capitals of the several Mexican States had been occupied by the French. Guanajuato by 3,000 French troops, and Quere taro, Morelia, and Guadalajara by the rest of the combined forces of French and Mexicans: Aguas. oslientes had surrendered to . Colonel Chavez, after a siege. General Marquez was in Morelia. Gen. Miramon, accompanied by his two brothers and two hundred other chieftains and officers, had left the city of Mexico, to raise a division, with which he was to march on Durango. San Lulu was expected to be in the occupation of the French about Christmas, and Juarez, it is said, intended to take refuge in Texas, with his family, filmes, and retainers. Letters from the interior of Mexico say that no resistance will be opposed to the occupation of San Lull, the Juarez G-overnment being a mere effigy, nobody obeying its orders. Before leaving San Luis, the Liberals had imposed a forced loan of four hundred thousand dollars on the city, whilst Gon zalez,thtega imposed a similar one of five hundred thousand on Zacatecas. General Mega, who had gathered some ten thou sand men for the purpose of fighting the French and Mexican army in their advance from Queretaro tuwarca San Luis, has retired, avoiding an en counter. General Mejia commands the vanguard of the French and Mexican army, and will likely be the first to enter San Imie. To him has been entrusted the care of scouring the roads and securing a safe communication , between the last named city and Tampico; so it can be eapeoted that the State or Tamaulipas will be entirely occupied by the French- Mexican army during this month. On one side the civil State war for Governor, dividing the opposi. tion, will materially help General Pdejta in his ope. rations; on the other aide, it is likely that some of the dissentients will abandon Juarez , banner and join A PECULIAR. iIifITITIFTION IN lOWA.-Among, the curious phase' of lowa society is the " &manna So ciety," located in lowa .courity, twenty miles west of lowa eity.

Jan. 11.—No little excite ment has been caused here during the past few days by the reports from Weaterulliginii, not in circles where the entire falsity of wilful exaggeration was known, but among the public generally, whose igno rance of the true condition of affairs naturally in duced them to varnish the statements of the sense. tion papers or New York. The Berald's despatch, for instance, dated Cumberland, January Bth, was written some days previous; and was, it is under stood, refused transmission over the wires from Washington, its untruths being so palpable. The enterprising correspondent, however, was not to tie thus checked, and the despatch was placed in the Baltimore office on Friday afternoon, and on the following morning was published in the paper to which it was addressed, and from its columns sent over the country by the Assootated Press. In the early part of last week, Petersburg and vicinity were- threatened by the enemy; but not only was Cumberland not oo copied or in danger, but no rebel in arms has been Within twelve miles of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for the past month. The wagon train, said to have bran cap tured on Thursday, really fell into the hands of the enemy on Sunday last, and the scene of the exploit was about thirty miles from Cumberland. Some days ago, when the military authorities had become somewhat alarmed by the rumored approach of the rebels, the General Commanding gave orders for one •of the trains from the West to return to Wheeling ; but on no other occasion, since the reopening of the road, has the travel upon the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad been, in the slightest degree, interrupted. Southern Unionists. Rev. H. Clay Trumbull, chaplain of the 10th Con necticut Volunteers, was captured—in violation of a fiag.of-truee, by the way—before Fort Wagner, last July, made the round of the rebel prisons, and was recently released. He writes: throngit Mora prisons of the South which I saw or heard from, the entire mass of able-bodied men were in arms, while many more boys were in service, and old men were doing guard duty, to re lieve younger ones sent to the front. Every evidence was given that the South has no rtserve, that its whole force is already in the field, and that the rata ing of our new levy of three hundred thousand men will give us so large a preponderance of numbers as to make quick work of the rapidly thinning army of the rebellion. "Every desirable evidence wan also given to our prisoners that, with the military power of the Swath once broken, and its army once scattered, its whole strength is gone. No extermination will be ne ceseary, for the latent 'Unionism, even in South Carolina, is beyond all that we had supposed possi ble. In the Confederate army there are thousands who long for the restoration of the old Government, for the supremacy of the old flag, and thus to a still greater extent with those not yet gathered in, employees of the Government; exerapi e, and fend. lies of those in service. "Hospital nurses, guards, wherever we were carried, citizens who communicated with us in spite of every precaution of authorities, all testified to this, and money was freely given our men, news paper's furnished against orders, and sympathy ex.- preeeed and aid tendered. wherever We turned; and this some times by different men, closely associated, who did not suspect each other of such sentiments from their extreme caution under the fearful reign of terror which prevails above them. Such will bail gladly the day when once more they can serve the Government they love, and enjoy again its pro• tection and benefits. May God grant its speedy coming." But Governor Seymour insists that then Union sympathizer' ought not to receive any special en couragement from the 'Federal Government. A Spy Among the Rebels. The following items of information are communi cated to the Cincinnati Commercial by one who has seen and heard, and may be believed PEELING THE DEAD.—The supply of shoes and other articles is exhausted since the close blockade, and those articles are no longer issued, To clothe himself the soldier must appeal to his wire. Instinct naturally tells him that Federal clothes are accepta ble articles, and the instant a Union soldier fella, if opportunity presents itself, the rebel goes through the opertion called " peeling the dead," or, in other words, "relieving the dead Yank of his dry goods and crawling into them." But they do not confine thepeeling process to our men. In all their battles the shoeless soldiers are held in reserve, and as the rebels fall their shoes are gathered up and pissed Upon the "shoeless brigade." At the battle of Chickamauga this was the ease, and as Many of our wounded fell into their hands. they had a large " peeling bee" upon the battle field on the night of September 20. THE SENTIMENT IN NORTH AND SOUTH CARO. LINA.—The people of. South Carolina are repre sented as being as intensely mesh as ever, and they are as eager for the continuation of the war as ever. The poorer classes, however, in that State are all Unionists. In North Carolina he found the senti ment quite different. In Rolls, Saulsbury, Wil mington, and other places visited by him, Union sentiments were uttered openly by all classes so much so, that throughout the whole Confederac'l a North Carolinian is received with 'suspicion, and closely watched. The sentiments expressed in the Rolla Standard are a lair Index of the real senti meats of the people of North Carolina, both citizens and soldiers. While en route from Rolla to Au gusta, Georgia, he witnessed a traces between two officers and a citizen, who wee , praising the Rolls Standard and giving vent to Union sentiments. The officers assaulted the citizen, when a number ofpri vats soldiers interfered, and informed the officers that if the Unionist was again Muck they would be compelled to strike them (the officers) in return. THE MURDER OF MBA. ELIZ4BBTEE DOWELL The circumstances of the murder of this lady are familiar to our readers. She was a.widow, sixty-five years of age, residing on Sixth street. between la and H atreete south, island, and-Wits on Ne w Yeses eve lying behind the counter of the little shop she kept, in a bleeding and Senseless condition. From - tho disordered condition of the furniture, it was evident that a great snuggle bad taken place between the deceased and her assailant before the bloody deed was consummated. ' It would also appear from the 'fact of the street door opening upon Sixth street being found looked, and the 'Mutters fastened, that Mrs. Dowell must have been in her room in the rear of the store when the murderer first erected his en trance. It will be remembered that on The same evening of the murder a young ladyhy the name of Miss Hook, While passing along F street eaatwardly, when op posite St. Dominick's church, was strut& down by a ruffian, who afterwards searched her pockets for money. A book in this lady's pocket, on being sub sequently examined, was found to cantata the finyer prints of Mood. What connection this fad may have with the murder of Mrs. Dowell is not known, al though it looks as though the assailant in each ease was one and the same person. Miss Hook describes the person who drink her as a stoutish man, per haps five feet six inches in height, dressed in a black slouch hat and long sack coat, apparently a white man.—Washington Chronicle. AN ARKANSAS PLANTER'S OPINION ON THE MOORE QIINSTION.—A planter who came to Little Rock, Ark., to get arms for Union home guards on White river, gave his ideas of the great question of the day, as follows: " The nigger business is done up, and there's no use talking about it. It don't make no odds how good a Union man one may be, he'll lose his niggers. Ever since the war commenced, Old Abe has been turning the 'mews down on us—first a little turn, and then another • we don't eaursly feel it, but he keeps %turnin of his screws, and now Ws got to be dogon tight. Over thar in Missouri, the Union man thought they was going to come out all right, but the screws have come down on 'am so an they hsd to do something—and _they done it, but twant no use; down come the sercwagain. and you see where they are, ThatkeepinginSchofield was rornothing but to take another turn on the screw. Now there's Old Hanetuck ; she feels as if she was on top of the heap, and she ' s - been a braggin'.vrhat she's done ; but you wait a spell, and you'll see the biggest kind of Screw turn down on her, and if she don't walk the chalk, she'll have herinsides squeezed out. There's no use talking ; the - thing's all fixed, and I wouldn't give a dime for the best nigger you can find." COUNT JOAN : kW (George Jones), , in hie teatime ny given on the examination of the supposed mur derer of young converse, in Malden, gives some in teresting facts in connection with the murder of ()apt. Joseph White, of Salem. The murderer was discovered by means of a vigilance eommittee, com posed of some of the most respectable men in Saem. One of their number, Joseph A. Knapp, received a letter containing a menace.that if a certain amount of money were not forthcoming he would. tell what he knew of the murder. This letter Mr. Knapp placed before the committee. A decoy letter was sent, and a detective despatched to arrest the person Who took it out of the office. The person arrested turned State's evidence, and implicated two of the eons of Mr. Joseph Knapp, for one of whom the let ter received cy Kr. Knapp was intended, as partici pators in the crime.

On entering the hut, I found the old man and his chief wife sitting aide by side on a bench of earth, strewed over with grass, and partitioned like OWL" for sleeping apartments, whilst in front of them were placed numerous wooden pots of milk, and, hanging from the poles that supported the bee hive. shaped hut, a large collection of bows, sex feet in length, whilst below them were tied an even larger collection of spears, intermixed with a goodly assort ment or heavy-headed assegte. I was struck with no email surprise at the way he received me, as well as with the extraordinary dimensions, yet pleasing beauty, of the immoderately fat fair one, his wife. She could not rise, and so large were her arms, that between the joints the flesh hung down like large loose4tuffed puddings, Then in camelhair children, all models of the Abyssinian type of beauty, and as polite in their manners as thorough bred gentlemen. They bad heard of my picture.bookm from the king, and all wished to see them ; which they no sooner did, to their infinite delight, especially when they recognized any of the animals, than the sub,jeot was turned by my inquiring what they did withao many milk. pots. This was easily explained by Orazdzdru himself, who, pointing to his wife, said: This is ail the product of those pots; from early youth up. wards we keep those pots to their mouths, as it is the fashion at court to have very fat wives ° " A BASHFUL VIRGIN. " Alter along and an amusing conversation with Rumanika in the morning, I called on one of his Biz temin-law, married to an elder brother, who was born before Dagara ascended the throne. She was another of those wonders of obesity,unable to stand excepting on all fours. I was desirous to obtain a good view of her, and actually to measure her, and induced her to give me facilities for doing so, by of fering in return to show her a bit of my naked.legs and arms. ,The bait took as I wished - It and after getting her to sidle and wriggle into the middle of the hut, I did as I promised, and then took her di mensions as noted. Round the arm, one foot eleven inches chest, four feet four inches • thigh, two feet seven i nches ; calf, one foot eight ' inches; height, five feet eight inches. "All of these are exact except the height and I believe I could have got thus more accurately if I could have had her laid on the floor. Not knowing what difficulties I should have to contend with in such a piece of engineering, I tried to get her height by raising her up. This, after infinite exertions on the part of us both, was accomplished, when she sank down again, fainting for her blood had rushed into her head. Meanwhile the daughter, a lass of sixteen, sat stark naked before ue ' sucking at milk pot, on which the father kept her at work by holding a rod in his hand, for as fattening ie the first duty of fashionable female life, it must be duly enforced by the rod, if necessary. I got up a bit of flirtation with missy, and induced her to rise, and shake hands with me. Her features were lovely, but her body was as round as a ball." 0:43:21112 " No one dare stand before the king whilst he is either standing still or sitting, but must approach him with downcast eyes and bended kneel, and kneel or sit when arrived. To touch the king). throne or clothes, even by accident, or to look upon hie women, is certain death. When sitting in court holding a loVee, the king invariably has in attend. ance several women, Wabandwa, evil eye evertors or sorcerers. They talk in feigned voices raised to a shrillness almost amounting to a scream. They wear dried lizards on their heads, small goatskin aprons trimmed with little bells, diminutive shields and spears set off' with cock. hackles—their functions in attendance being to administer cups of merwa (plantain wine). To complete the picture of the court, one must imagine a crowd of pages to run royal messages ; they dare not walk, for such a deg ciency in zeal to their master might coat their life. A further feature of the court consists in thanattonal symbols already referred to—a dog, two veers and shield " 'W hen Captain Speke had presented thin delight ful savage with a new gun, he cent a page into the outer court with orders to lire it off and god a man. On another occasion his sable majesty, seeing a wo. man tied to a tree, drew a pistol front his belt and shot her dead. .Dltdsa, Kingland scourge of Uganda, was a terrible beast to enrage. The highest people of his capital—an enclosure of straw huts—iaad to approach him on their faces. WHAT BECOMES OF DEAD HassES.—Some people will no doubt be astonished to learn that large for tune' have been made every year since the corn. mencement of thg war, out of the dead horses of the Army of the Potomac. The popular idea is that when Nosinante yields up the ghost, he is buried in some field, or left to moulder into mother earth in the woods somewhere. Not so. He has made his last charge, and gnawed his lest fence rail, but there is from $2O to $4O in the old fellow yet. A contract for the purchase of the dead horses in the Army of the Potomac, for the ensuing year, was let a few dapy■ ago, to the highest bidder, at $1.76 per head, delivered at the factory of the contractor. Last year $60,000 was cleared on the contract, and this year it is thought $lOO,OOO can be made on it. The animals die at the rate of about fifty per day, at the lowest calculation. At the contractor's establishment they are thor oughly dissected. First, the shoes are pulled off; they are usually worth fifty cents a set. Then the hoof. are out off; they bring about two dollars a set. Then comes the caudal appendage, worth half a dol lar. Then the hide—l don't know what that sells for. Then the tallow, if it 11E possible to extract tallow from the army horses, which I think ex• tremely doubtful, unless he die immediately after entering the service. And last, but not least, the ' shin-bones are valuable, being convertible into a va riety of articles that many believe to be composed of pure ivory, such as cane heady, knife.handles, By the time the contractor gets through with the " latelamented " steed, there in hardly enough of him left to feed a bull.pup on. Hereafter, kind reader, when you see a dead "hors," don't turn up your nose at him, but regard him thoughtfully, as the foundation for a large for tune in a single year. He may, individually, be a nuisance, but " there is that within which paiseth ahow"—eroo,ooo a year. GENED.A.L SumpAux.—This distinguished officer was complimented, by him fellow. townsmen, with a serenade, on Monday evening Ust i at the residence of his fathevin•law, Hon. Thomas Ewing. General Sherman, in reply, spoke as follows: 11 .1 have simply tried to do my duty, and well know that, were I to be cut down, there are many more ready and willing to take my place, who would render just as loyal and much more able service to our country than I have done. In one particular, however. will accept of the kind sentiments you bear for me.;* for in loyalty to our flag—in the determination and purpose to sustain. its honor—l yield to no man. I did not believe that the men of this generation were so degenerate, so unworthy of their Revolutionary father., as to allow this great country, to be de stroyed. Gentlemen, our country is an entirety. As a unit it came into our hands, from Washington and his compeers, one single, grand domain, since stretched from one ocean on the East to another in the Wes% and capable of indefinite extension to the North and South, and one country it must remain to the latest generations. Such is the resolve of your armies in the field; and that this result will he worked out you may take my word for it."—Ohio Eagle. AN ACCOUNT SULTAN-ED.—The message of the Governor of Ohio estimates the total cost of the Morgan raid in that State at $897,000. This in cludes the value of the property carried away or destroyed by the rebel rough-riders, and the cost of catching and Imprisoning them afterward.. Since that time Averill's cavalry have swooped down upon the Virginia - rebel., capturing and de stroying property to the value or at least two or three minions of dollars.

I never have denied, and do not wish to deny, the present prosperous condition of thou States. You, however; and Dlr.

A BOY IN THE UNION 11.101 Y, AND ON HIS RETIIHN HOME. [From the Liverpool Journal. Dm 21.] In the police court on Thnraday, a man about thirty years of age, who stated his name to be Thee, Greenock, and said he was a native of Coventry, and a lad, thirteen years of age, who said his name war Frederick Charles Whittler, and that he was a native of Gravesend, were brought up in custody on the charge of having stowed themselves away on board the Etna, (belonging to Messrs'. Inman & Co.. of this port,) on a voyage from New York to Liver pool, with the intent to defraud the owners of the vessel of the passage money, by doing which they bad rendered themselves liable to a fine of £6 each, or in default three months , imprisonment. The boy Whittler, on being asked what he had to say, made a rather romantically martial statement With respect to home army service and the state of affairs' in the American armies. He said he had • natural taste for soldiering, and, In order to gratify it, be proceeded to Portsmouth, where he wanted to join the 2d Bulbs, but he could not be enlisted on account of his youth. He thence proceeded to Southampton, and worked his passage on board the Saxonia to New York, where he got acquainted with several members of No. 6 battery, at a place called Soldiers , Retreat. There he was treated with the greatest kindness, having been supplied with food for some time. He then made his way to Maryland, where be enlisted as drummer boy in Capt. Bruneee Eighth company, 7th regiment, Seventh Maryland militia. That regiment was commanded by Colonel Webster, and was in the brigade of General Kelly. He says he was present at the battles of Winchester, Culpepper and Rapidan. Ultimately he was taken prisoner by the Southerners, sent to Richmond * where he was lodged on Belle Island, in company with a lot of other Federal prisoner'. Here, as well as provisions would allow' of it, he was well treated; but food at times ran very scarce, and the value of it increased with the necessity, for he had known as much as a valuable watch to be given tor a small loaf of bread. Ultimately, he said, he was paroled, and sent back into the American lines. The captain of the company to which he had been attached, being unaware that he had been taken prisoner, presumed that he had deserted, and entered him on the pay sheet as such, and, in consequence, eighty dollars, which he could have claimed as pay, were stopped. He had not, however, deserted, having been dis charged because he could not, on account of his youth, endure the long marches which the Federal armies bad daily to take, which sometimes amounted to twentrfive or thirty miles. Subsequently he reached New York. Here he was totally without money or friends, and in his anxiety to get to his native country and to his friends, he stowed himself away on board the Etna, where he was found. Mr. Gardner (one of the magistrates) said he thought it would be a pity to send a boy like Whitt ler to prison, and be would give a halt sovereign to an officer to pay his fare to Gravesend. The other prisoner, who was evidently in a most destitute state, was, after a caution, ordered to be handed over to the overseers of the poor. Cundo , s CATE is the name of a new novel about to be published by Menu. Tilton & Co., Beaton. The author, Mr. J . T. Trowbridge, is also the author of "Neighbor Jackwood," and some of the most popular contributions of the Atlantic. This story is of rebel despotism and Union patriotism in East Tennessee. The Boston correspondent of the Springfield Republican, whose criticisms are perhaps as reliable as any we have, says, "I have read the sheets, and am sure, that, for dramatic skill and intense interest, few books of late years are equal to it. Somehow or other, we cannot quite make Up our minds that Utica of adventurein Bast Tennessee, in 1861, are quite as real as those which Cooper re• lates as occurring during the old French war or the Revolution. But it must be the nearness alone which weakens the enchantment. Some of Trow bridge's descriptions of border warrare are quite equal to the beat of Cooper's. His genius is dramatic ; and the reader is carried swiftly, almost breathlessly, along. Some of his characters, also, are exceedingly good. The negrOell, Pomp and Cucljo ; Pan Pepperill, the poor white ; Deslow, the pro slavery Unionist, who betrays hie fellows for alaverys sake ; the old minister; and Carl, the Dutch boy, are well painted."
