The South Despairing. A YEA.R CLOSING. UNDER GLOOMY AUSPICES AND OPENING WITH EVIL TIDINGS From the Richmond Er Limner of January 5. ihe 'year closed under gloomy auspices ; with a check at Drainesville, and a rumored disaster in Missouri. The year which yesterday began has opened with evil tidings. We fear that there is no doubt of the fact that the Northern Union has consented to the surrender of Mason and Slidell ; and with that event all hope of an immediate alliance between the Southern Con federacy and Great Britain must cease. Under other circumstances we might derive a consolation for the loss by considering the in effaceable disgrace that falls on the enemy. Never, since the humiliation of the Doge and Senate of Genoa before the footstool of Louis XIV has any nation consented to a degradation so deep. If Lincoln and Seward intended to give them up at a menace, why, their people will ask did they ever capture the ambassadors? Why the exultant hurrah over the event that went up from the nineteen millions of throats? Why the glorification of Wilkes ? Why the coward insults to two unarmed gentlemen, their close imprisonment and the blood-thirsty movements of Congress in their regard? But most of all, why did the Government of Lin coln indulge a full Cabinet with an unanimous resolution that, under no circumstances, should the United Statei surrender Messrs. Mason and Slidell ? Why did they encourage the popular sentiment to a similar position? The United States Government and people swore the great oath to stand on the ground they had taken ; the American eagle was brought out, he screeched his loudest screech of defiance—then "Drop like a craven cock his conquerred wing" at the first growl of the lion. This is the atti tude of the enemy.. It would greatly console us to contemplate him, did we not know that no new exhibition of insolence and cowardice could sink him lower in the world's estimation. The United States has lost no character by an exhi bition of poltroonery as yet unknown in the di plomacy of other nations. That country has already sunken beneath the reach of infamy. The only charge of bayonets made during the war by Lincoln's soldiers was that of the Fair fax marines on Miss Slidell ; and the surrender of her father at the first menace of Great Brit ain will create rather more disgust or further disgust. Nor can we hope for a popular revulsion in the Nornern people against the folly and pusil lanimity of their rulers. People and rulers are alike. It is only in the sentiment of England that we can find a ray of encouragement. It is certain that the British wanted war ; that they were confident of getting it ; and they will be bitterly disappointed at the unsatisfactory re sult, Now, this result, though apparently due to the lily livers of the Yankees, is partially attributable to the management of the Palmer ston Ministry. That Cabinet gave Seward and Lincoln the chance of humiliation, when it could have taken redress with the high-hand, and shut the door to apology by re-calling Lyons, sending home Adams, and setting the British fleet at once fn full sail for the scene of action. The Palmerston Ministry is the friend or the north, and is directly antagonistical to the majority of the British nation. On these data we venture the prophecy that in less than three months this Ministry willfall from power. Whenever it does so, we may anticipate im mediate intervention by Great Britain in the affairs of this continent. The inclinations and interest of that people are so closely united on this one point, that we do not hesitate to de clare the result a moral necessity. But for some time we may be left alone in this quarrel. Let us not repine, though the task be heavy on the arm. If we would respect ourselves, consolidate our nationality, ensure our future independence, and transmit a heroic memory to posterity, we must prove to ourselves and to all others that our own unaided strength is sufficient for our own redemption. If it is not, there remains one resolution by which every citizen that is worthy of freedom can avoid the sight of its extinction and the spectacle of his country's ruin—to die in the last ditch of their defence.

FonraEss MoNaon, Jan. 4 A scouting party of 7 or 800 strong, consist ing of six companies of the Coast Guard, six companies of the 20th New York regiment, and three companies of the Harlem cavalry, left Camp Hamilton yesterday morning, under command of Acting Brigadier General Weber, accompanied by Majors Vegesack and Carling, of Geu. Wool's staff. About two miles be yond Little Bethel the infantry halted, and the cavalry proceeded towards Big Bethel, and ,vhen six miles this side of that place met mounted pickets, which were driven in. The cavalry gave chase, but were unable to over take them. On arriving at Big Bethel the place appeared to have been deserted, and careful examination showed that to be the case. It had apparently been occupied by four or five thousand men in cluding two or three hundred cavalry. Breastworks were found nearly half a mile it extent, pierced for twelve guns.

Fessenden, Chairman of the Com mittee on Commerce of the Senate, and Hon. 'Thaddeus Stevens, Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means of the House. Sra:—The Act of Congress passed on the 26th of December, 1861, directing that from and after the date of its passage certain duties, in lieu of the duties before imposed, should be levied, collected and paid on tea, coffee and sugar imported from foreign countries, did not exempt from its operation tea, cofee and sugar previously imported and warehoused, and was therefore regarded by me as a direction to collect the duties prescribed on all such im portations without exception, and instructions were issued to the collectors accordingly. I beg leave, however, to direct your attention to the fact-that where goods imported have been plac ed in warehouses under the law and depart mental regulations, the amount of duties has in. each case been estimated, though not levied by the naval officer, and the bond has been taken by the collector in double the amount of the dues thus estimated for their payment, and there is a general opinion among merchants that the faith of the Government is engaged for the delivery of such goods to the merchants on payment of the duties imposed by law at the time of the warehouseing. If this opinion be absolutely well founded or not, there is certainly something in the nature of the transaction which supports it. It is my duty doubtless to execute the law as it is written, but in view of this opinion of the importing merchants, I respectfullg suggest the propriety of the adoption of a joint resolution directing the Sec• retary of the Treasury to permit warehoused goods to be withdraw on payment of the duties imposed by the act of August 2nd, 1861, and to refund any excess of duties above those thus imposed which may have been collected on goods already withdrawn. With great respect. Signed, S. P. CHASE, Sec'y of the Treasury. It appears from the census returns that there was, in all the States in 1860, real and personal estate to the aggregate value of sixteen billions, one hufMred and fifty millions, six hundred and sixteen thousand dollars, on every dollar of which the government has a:lien, for the pur pose of maintaining itself against all foes, for eign or domestic—or for any other govern mental purpose. Not a dollar of this vast sum that is not subject to taxation, and to sale for taxes, if the exaction is not promptly paid. But vast as the sum is, it is only part of the taxable wealth. Another unpublished table of the last census shows the value of personal property in the timrefl ,SV4Lco 4o- _five billions, eighty-one millions, six hundred andS. ; r.ty-one thousand dollirs—giving an aggregate of over twelve billions of taxable property.
