Whisky.—The amount of bad whisky con sumed during the last two or three yean is truly astonishing. The genuine article has reached such a very high price that it is entirely beyond the reach of professional d' inkers, and the con sequence is that they are compelled to imbibe adulterated liquor or 4 do without their usuaj number, of drams. Continual “smiles” nowa days have the double effect of ruining a man’s purse as well as his constitution. Liquor deal ers cannot afford to supply their customers with good whisky without incurring a loss on their part, an alternative to whioh this class of men are not willing to submit. Owing to the facts the chemical mixtures whioh Is at present sold in liquoretores under the name of whisky, has a powerful effeot in ruining a man both in mind and body. It is true that whisky is sometimes sold in its pure state, but even then it would be far better to abstain from it entirely. We liave never heard of total abstinence ruining a nervous constitution, but we know that men have neglected their business and destroyed their health through the tloo of intemperance. Oases of delerium tremens have been of frequent oo» currenoe of late on account of this prevailing evil. The Newsboys' Home*—The Newsboys' Home is now in successful-operation under the auspices of the gentlemen who first planned this charitable institution and the excellent matron to whom the oare of the boys is imme diately entrusted. The boys will have a quite comfortable homo during the winter, and the gentlemen who superintend the Instltutoin use every means to make them feel content in their new home. So far their efforts have proved a perfect Success, and the boys who have engag ed quarters there have formed an attachment for the place, whioh is the best io icatlon of the excellent manner in which everything is car ried on there. We unde.staad, however, that the boys are sadly in want of waxm clothing to defend them irom thtf rigors of tbe weather to which they are continually exposed. The fe male portion of the community could not find a better opportunity to indulge Iheir charitable proclivities than by providing these poor boys with a aulicKot supply of clo‘hing. Sevtiely Wound* d— A man named Thompson was stabbed In the breast on Satur day night in the Ninth ward lie states that he had been at Neeson’s tavern during the eve ning, and when leaving, a man by the name of Owens, who has a crippled hand, wished toqu&r rel with him, but he refused to fight with a crip ple. Owens then struck him with a brick, but Thompson persisted in his determination not to Injure him. He then proceeded homewards, and on arriving at his own house a man named Oready came up and swore that he would whip him, and thereupon struck him with a knife, in flicting a severe, though not dangerous wound* We have not ascertained the cause of these en* counters. Owens was subsequently ai rested oq information being made against him by Thom son, butCready succeeded in making his escape Usui Drowned. A man named Hiram Neff waa drowned in the Monongahela river on Saturday night at Lock No. 3, Port Perry. It appears that he waa at the lock awaiting the arrival of a steamer on whioh to take passage to this city, and while walking about in the dark accidentally fell into the lock, lie was heard struggling in the water by the look-tender, who hastened to his assistance, but was unable to rescue him. The body was recovered on the fol lowing day and an inquest held by Coroner Clawson, when a verdict ot accidental death waa ret urned. Tennyson Glnb Lectures.—A large and fashionable audience waa present last evening at Lafayette Hall, £o listen to the popular and unrivaled readings of Mr. J. E. Murdoch.

Th# WeathcrThe weather during the last few days has been very changeable, but far the most part exceedingly pleasant for tihfraea. son;of the year. During this time last year it .was much colder than it Is at present. We think that the community in general are well pleased with the change, and a few very cold days would interfere considerably with out-door transactions. There la plenty of time for skat ing and sleigh-riding yet, when the coldest part of the year approaches, so that those who de sire those pleasant amusements need not be at 1 all disappointed, j The Rivers.—The livers are in excellent boating order, and it is thought another rise will toon take place.

The room Is large anti commodious, and peculiarly favorable for busi ness transactions. Revenue Decision.—The Commissioner of Internal Bevenue has decided that real estate, passing by inheritance from husband to wife, or vice versa, is subject to a succession tax of six percent, upon its dear value.

LATEST -FROM SHERMAN SOUTHERN NEWS. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. Congressional Scatters. Message to be Bead at 10 Oclook To-day. Washington, Dec. s.— The special to the Commercial contains the following: | News from Savannah recieved here to day from Southern sources leaves no room for doubt but that Sherman has succeeded in reaching the sea coast with his entire army. There is considerable excitement here to-day on the question of Supreme Oonrt appointments. Justices Waine, Swayne, Clifford, Miller and Dreer, are on the bench. Baltimore. Dec. 6.— The American has Richmond papers of Saturday, but they do not appear to have as late Geor gia news as that recieved by steamers from Savannah, excepting the following from General Bragg, which refers to an engagement subsequent to the capture of Pocotaligo Bridge by General Fost ers forces. Richmond papers say the Yankees who landed at Port Royal and moved into the interior with the expectation of meeting Sherman’s ad vance, encountered a body of Confeder ate troops at a place called Grahams vilie. The enemy were badly beaten and driven irom the field, leaving their dead and wounded on the gronnd. The telegram conveying the information does not state the direction in which the enemy were driven, but we presume they were driven back toward Beau fort. The following dispatch has been re cieved. "It is dated yesterday at Sa vannah." I have jnst returned from the front. The enemy was badly whipp ed and retired to the Coosawatchie.— Another point ou the railroad is threat ened, but I do not apprehend any seri ous attack. (Signed,) ByrTON- Bbagu. At Grahamsville, where we are re ported as having been jepulsed by the rebels, is one of the stations on Ihe Charleston and Savannah railroad. It is thirty-four miles east of Savannah and seventy miles from Charleston, Our forcer, however, are evidently still above Orahamsville hold ing a position on the Coosawatchie It will be remembered that news al leadv published from Hilton Head says ibul Rosier hail captured Pocotaligo Bridge, which is further inland than Orahamsville, being forty nine miles from Savannah and fifty-five from Charleston. Washington, Dec. 5 BoihH ousea of Congress to-day appointed a i ommit tee to wait upon the President and In form him that they were ready to te ceive any communication he might be pleased to make. It was ascertained from one of the committee that the President informed them that he would transmit his message to Congress to morrow at one o'clock.

Mr. Lane, of Ka., introduced a bill lor the relief of the militia of Kansas, in repelling the invasions of the rebels under Price. Mr. Foster moved that the Senate take a reeess of one hour. On re-as sembling the Senate adjourned. Additional House.— The privileges of the ball were accorded to to them, while the question of their credentials was pending. Mr. Davis presented a protest from Louisania, against being admitted as members. Referred to the committee of elections. On motion of Mr. Davis of Maryland, it was resolved that the committee (4 ways and means be instructed to inquire into the expendency of reporting a bill for the amendment of the Constitution providing that so much of the 9th vsec tion of the Ist act ot committee, as * de clared that no tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any State, be and the same is hereby annueled.

Thomas Key, of an Interview between himself and Howell Cobb, on the 14th day of June, 1802,0 n the banks of tha Chickahominy, by the authority of the War Department, on the subject of the exchange of priso ners. Mr. Washburns of 111., objected, bo the question lies over. Adjourned. Major General Stanley, Cincinnati, Dec. s.— Major General Stanley, wounded at the battle of Franklin, arrived here yesterday. He says the reports of the battle that have reached the public, have not exagerat ed the rebel losses. The fight was made to save our wagon trains, were of enormous size and value, and filled the road for twelve miles distant.

TELEGRAPHIC Bobsl News from ■ Shonoßn. A letter Id the Aususta Chronicle, from a member of the -Legisl ature, giving his escaping from Sherman’s army, he and others having been taken across- the country, show the extent of the devastation in flicted on the country. The writer says: Going to McCred dles place we found .hie fine bouse in ash es, and his gin house burned, and every horse and mule gone. In his lot about one hundred horses were lying dead. They looked like good stock and were evidently killed to deprive the planters of them. , Proceeding on the way we found every plantation on the road similarly devastated, except that no dwelling : houses were burned, until we reached the fine farm of the Hon. Joshua Hill. This is a perfect Jwreck, A large gin house, full of cotton, corn-cribs and dwelling were all a smouldering ruin. His loss was more than any planter in this'section. . Besides the cotton, 12,000 husnels of coin were destroyed, and sev eral hundred bushels of wheat, and much other valuable property. Every horse and mule and many other valua bles are gone. The farms on the road to this place, and as far as we can learn, escaped their brutal ravages. They ravaged the country below' here as far as Oconee river. The road waß strewn with the debris of their progress. Dead horses, cows, sheep, hogs, chickens, com; wheat, cotton, coliee-mills and frag ments of nearly every species of pteijleV ty, strew the way side. In Madison they burned the depot and one or two old warehouses, with the jail, and market place. They gutted -every' store, and plundered more er . less on every lot. They fired the drug store” and several other houses, and their officers, with the show of magnanimity., tried to put outthe flames. Slany of the families have not a ppund of meat, or sack of meal of flour. Many negroes were enticed away from homes of comfort to share the uncertain for tunes of winter, marched to the coast, and then forced to starve, families of wealth have not a honse servant left, and those who were the .most_trlisted were often the first to leave. Washington, Dec. 5. House— The House assembled at ..noon, The galle ries were densely crowded—all the members in the best possible humor, and exchanging salutations. The Speak er called the House to order, when prayer was offered up to the Throne <.| Grace by Chaplain Channing. The roll of members was then called, and up wards of one hundred and fifty members answered Vo their names. CINCINNATI A quorum was announced as in at endance. A message was received from he Senate informing Ihe House lhat a quorum had assembled, and were ready to proceed. Resolutions were adopted to inform the Senate and Prßsident that the House was ready to proceed to busi ness. The Speaker laid, before the House the redentials of five gentlemen of Louisi ina, signed by Michael nahn, Governor, •uiporting to be elected members of the House in pursuance of the recently adopted Constitution of that State. The credentials were referred to the Commit tee on Elections. The House adjourned. No message. Senate. —The Senate was called to order at noon by Mr. Clarke, of New Hampshire, President pro tern. Prayer was then made by Hie Chaplin, Mr. Bowman, of Indiana, Mr. Foote, of Ver mont, offered a resolution that the Sec retary of the Senate be instructed to in. form the Honse that the Senate was ready to proceed to business. Adopted. General Gregg’s Late Baid. New York, December s.—By order of General Dix, some sixty natives of Southern States, now resident here, were arrested yesterday, supposed to have some knowledge of the recent in cendiary. Some, after the examination, were released, but the majority were detained. General Gregg’s raid south of Peters burg show it to have been the most im portant of the campaign. The distance marched going and 'coming was forty miles The Richmond papers discredit the reports that Grant is crossing his men from the right to the left, and say it is not on his right but on his left that Giant meditates an early and heavy at tack. Some important movement in the vi cinity of Dutch by our Mon itors, is also apprehended fiy the Rich mond editors. The Richmond Whig of the 2d says : Gen. Price with adarge army is within srtiking distance of Little Rock. Sherman Occupies Millen Baltimore, December s. —The Amer ican has the following special corres pondence: Advices from Fortress Mon roe, dated last evening, reports the ar rival there of the steamer General Lynn left Savannah, last Thursday night, the latest news received there was to the effect that Sherman had occupied Lil len, and that his cavalry were scouting several miles ost from the town with but little resistance Every effort was being made for the defense ot (Savannah. Our prisoners report boys of thirteen years old, and even women, assisting in the threnchcs and earthworks. Sherman was slowly but surely advancing to the coast, and no doubt of his success need be entertained. Bebels Threatening Nashville. New York, Decembers. —The Times' Nashville special of the 3d says the en emy’s lines are just five miles from the city. Murfreesboro and Chattanooga are deemed safe. Commander Fitch has a fleet of gunboats here. General Cheatham has his headquarters at the house of Mr. Edmonson, on the Murfreesboro pike, four miles from the city, and told me that Hood had orders to Nashville and “to hell.’’ The situa tion of our forces is couaidered perfectly satisfactory. Breokenridge Palling Back—Gen- Sioneman in Pursuit. Louisville, December 4. — Qeneral Burbridge with his command, has reach ed Bean Station, and Breckenridge, ap parently declining battle, has fallen back towards Virginia. Qeneral Stone man will, if necessary, aid his move ment in that direction. Major Qeneral John A. Logan left on the mailboat this afternoon for Cincinnati. pICELES, KETSUPS S AUCEB wo dozen X gallon Pleklei. 100 *• x •« 60 “ X ■ “ « .! aw jnd Pte.
