Up to Saturday a large amount was sent for ward by the river. fßat on Saturday even ing the ice became too thick for Bafe navi gafion, though several boata, about the last oi the oil fleet. Btarted ont, and no doubt will get through. The ice is still remaining neavy in the river, this (Wed nesday) evening, though the weather is moderate and thawing slightly. The sns. pension in navigation has affected trans actions, which have been very limited daring the present week, and the proposed excise tax upon crude has unsettled the views of both buyers and sellers. Holders are asking $4 per bbl. at the wells, while buyers do not seem disposed to give over 53. 50; not liking to hold the oil here. A good Btege of navigalion would donbiy improve prices. In the absence of materi al transactions, w'e give the nominal quo tation of S3,6o([i 4 per bbl. at the wells, and $4,60(at6 per bbl. at this point, in balk, and $7,50@8, bbls. included. There are 20 inches in the channel and falling fast. Price of barrels $2,75(a 3 for prime second hand, and $3.26 for new. The market closes quiet and firm. The weather is moderate and thawing slightly. Surprise, —Ou Thursday afternoon, jast prior to the dismissal of school for the holidays, the pupils connected with the High School department of the Manchester pnblio schools, presented their teachers, Mr. W.

Clark delivered a neat and appropriate address on the occasion, which was re sponded to by the recipients of the present. These teachers, during the brief period they have been in Manches ter, have won tbe confidence and secured the affection of the children; and the pub lie schools there were never in a more flourishing condition. Sudden Death. —Mr. Jno. Galbraith, residing near Getty’s run, died suddenly about noon on Friday. He was sitting on a chairwhen he fell to the floor and imme diately expired. The coroner was sum-’ moned and held an inquest, and a verdict of death from natural causes was found. The deceased was about fifty-thres years of age and was unmarried.

Ecke, a compoei* ! *° r a * the office of the Age newspaper is prosecutor in a charge of assanlt ana bat . tery, against Wm. A. McEwen, formerly foreman in the office, which was heard Friday, by Alderman White. Ecke i testified that early on Tuesday morning, after leaving the office of the Age , he was met by the defendant and several others, aod that they began to abuse him, apply ing opprobrious epithets to him; that McEwen advanced to him and gave him a blow, and that one of the others, not yet arrested, struck him with a weapon, and he was knocked down. Soon afterwards, as he testified, he was again assaulted by the same party, and his hat knocked off and kicked away. He did not recover it, lhe assaults were understood to have grown out of the fact of Mr. John B. Ecke working at the office of the Age while the hands were on a strike. McEwen was 1 held in J'GOO bail to answer. By the 19th section of the revised Penal Code, this of fence of conspiring to commit an assault is punishable by imprisonment for three 1 years, and a fine of one thousand dollars. 1 Shocking Railroad Accident. —On Saturuay forenoon a most shocking acci . dent occurred neat the foot of Fourth street on Liberty, by which a man named andergrnt, an old and well known resi pen! of the First ward, lost his life instant ly. it appears that Mr. Vandargrift had been to market, and was on his way to a grocery Btore in the neighborhood of his residence to make some purchases, when a freight train approached, and, being deaf, he did not hear it, so that while in act of crossing the track, the locomotive struck him and knocked him down, the wheels passing over him, and mutilating him in a horrible manner. His head was literally severed from his body, and hi« arms and limbs frightfully crushed and mutilated. Death was, of course, instan taneous. Deceased was about seventy years of age, and a ship carpenter by occu pation. He resided on Hay street with his family, and was a very vigorous man lor his years. Jhe matter was investiga ted on Saturday ovening, when the jury rendered a verdict jn accordance with the tacts. Sct.it-L, on Eiirlstmis. The skating season was fairly Inaugurated on Christ mas day and evening, and the scene a; ‘‘Smoky Island" was a brilliant affair.

The ice was :u fair condition for Bkaimg—the wealbercold but pleasant, lhe young ladies-looked blooming in their fur-trimmed bats, while their faces were all aglow with the violent exercise in which they were engaged. Flirtations were tbe_ order of the evening, and the bells gilded heauliluliy over the ice, their arms linked lovingly m those of their gallant companions.

PA- BY TELEGRAPH, TO THE DAILY POST; From Washington City, Latest from New Orleans. fi@“ihe telegraph lines were not in working order last night, consequently we are without our regular dispatches. December 26.—Hales for regulating the new passport system has been extended to foreign vessels, which fact was communicated to the British Con . yesterday. The English Bark Circas sian, was seized here yesterday under suspicious circumstances. The steamers Washington, from New Orleans on the 19th, and the Mississippi on the 18th arrived today. The Wash ington brought one hundred thousand cJlars in specie. The Mississippi brought | a lot of rebel prisoners, including Major General Frank Gardner. Navigation on the Mississippi river was less interrupted, 3 u °boats keeping a sharp lookout. Matters at Natchez remain qaiet. The rebels are in large force in the vicinity tbos far refrained from attacking our.cntrenphraents. The Era says, since 6 firing on the Henry Von Phu! u, boats have passed up and down nnmoleet ed, and net a sign of the enemy is to be seen in the vicinity of Morganzia Bend. A gonboat is stationed within easy range of the point where the boats was formerly placed. At the month of Red| River a arge beet of gunboats have been assem bled and as there is now a depth of nine feet of water on the bar at that place, probably we shall soon hear of these boats haying ascended Red and Wachita Rivers doing all the damage in their power. «At a late convention held of free Btate men, called for the purpose of choosing unconditional I nion men to a convention ot the t nion men of the olave States, to be held in Louisville, Ky., a delegation of colored men were admitted to Beats in the convention, and the convention was open ed by prayer by a colored minister. Hon. Mr. Idursnt presided. An adjourned meotirg of the convention will be held on the o-3d, at which time an effort will be made to have a convention held. A party from the 29th Illinois regiment scouted as tar as Trinity, on Black River and cap tured 39 prisoners. Acting masters Ham ilton and Hannin, and 2d assistants Stone and Plnnketa captured with the Harriet Lane, arrived here on parole. Advices from Texas state that Gen. Washburn had started for Indianola and Lavacnor, and are doubtless in our pos session ere this. It is believed that San Antonia will soon be in onr possession, where onr troops wcftild concentrate for the overthrow of the rebels under Gen. Magrnder.
