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

After a short stay the scouting party return

IMPORTANT LETTER FROM
SECRETARY CHASE.
The following letter has been addressed to
Hon. W. P. 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.
