CHRISTMAS
Whether the 25 of December is really
the birthday of Christ—as the name of
Christmas would seem to indica to—we
leave theologians to discuss. One thing is
certain, the day has been observed from
a remote period, by all Christian nations,
as a kind of holiday—a time of recreation
and amusement,' and by some as a peri
od of solemn religious observance. In
the United States the day is generally de
voted to visiting, feasting, and other inno
cent enjoyment. We like the custom and
hope that it and the custom of keeping New
Year's day, may be continued to the end
of time. If the ?NW:or of these time
honored holidays could be doubled or treb
led it would be all the better for us as a
people. We enjoy too little .rest. The
din of business is too incessant. We
would work more cheerfully and to better
purpose if the monotony of labor were
more frequently intercepted and relieved
by short periods of rational amusement
and innocent recreation in which all, or
nearly all might partake.
An Affray.
An affray transpired in Shirleysburg,
in this county, on Wednesday evening of
last week, between L. A, Myers and Adam
Bryan, both citizens of Shirleysburg,
which it is feared will terminate in very
serious consequences. It appears that af
ter somo preliminary altercation, said Bry
an
struck Myers over the face or forehead
with a 'billet of wood, inflicting ghastly
and dangerotis wounds; upon which a scuf
fle ensued; in which Myers made use of a
bowie knife, inflicting six several wounds
or stabs upon the body of Bryan ; some of
which are_ considered very dangerous.—
Bryan is lying at this time in a critical
condition, and it is yet doubtful whether
he vAll recover.

REPORTS OF DEPARTMENTS'
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF TELE TREAB
'the Secretary opens with a statement
of the balance in the treasury on the ht
of July, 1857, which was 1 11 3 16,710,114.--
The receipts from all ordinary sources into
the treasury during the fiscal year then be:
giving, and ending June Nth, 1858, vary
largely in the successive quarters, as fol
lows
Find quarter, $20,929,819
second 7,092,665
Third 8.002,628
Fourth 10,532,557
816,557,568
But from extraordinary sources, loans
and treasury notes, there was added to the
receipts of the last two quarters the sum
of $23,716,300; making the aggregate
means of the year ending June 30, 1858,
$87,983,984. The expenditures for the
same year wore nearly uniform for the dif
ferent quarters, amounting in the aggre
gate to $81,585,687; leaving a balance in
the treasury on July Ist, of $6,398,317.
For the current year, 1858-9, the re
ceipts for the quarter ending September
30th, were $14,825,679 from ordinary
sources, and $10,400,200 from the loan
and treasury notes. The Secretary's esti
mate of receipts for the remaining three
quarters is $38,500,000, which with the
sums above named, makes up an aggre
gate of means for the currant year of $70,-
129,195.
The expenditures for the first quarter of
the current year were $21.608.198, and
the Secretary's estimate for the remeinina
three quarters is 514D2,,,ur,da0; waking a
total for the year of $74,065,897; and
leaving a deficit at the end of the year of
$3,936,701. To meet this deficit there
are extraordinary r sources in the loan al.
ready authorized of ten millions of dollars
and one million in treasury notes. If these
used there will, it is estimated, be a bal
ance in the treasury, July Ist, 1859, of $7,.
1063,298.
The Secretary then estimates for the
next fiscal year, ending July 1, 1860.
The customs are expected to yield fifty
six millions for that year, and other sour
ces, with the balance above named. to
make up an aggregate of $69,065,298.
The expenditures are placed at twelve
and a half millions, nearly. for ' , balance of
existing appropriations," eight and a half
, millions, nearly, fur ~p ermanent and indef
inite appropriations, — lad fut irgulur sur
-1 vice, $52,162,515; total $73,139,147.
Deducting the estimated receipts, then,
there will be a deficit of $4,075,848; to
which should be added, $3,838,728 for de
ficiency in postal service, not included in
the above; total deficit, $7,914,576.
As to the best modo of revising the
present tariff, it is thought preferable not
to ievive the higher rates of the tariff of
1846, The proposed home valuation prin•
ciple is opposed at length, and claimed to
be impraciicable, for many reasons. The
precise form of provision preferred, is to
increase the rates in schedule C from 24
25 per cent ; schedule D, from 19 to 20
per cent; schedule F, from 12 to 15 per
cent; schedule G, from 8 to 10 pe , . cent;
and schedule H, from 4 to 6 per cent. It
is estimated that this change will add $l,-
600,000 to the receipts for customs.—
Schedule C and D are large and important
embracing taunt texible fabrics, with Iron
and manufactures of iron. F is a small
list, in which raw silk, wee', tin and zinc
are the most prominent items. G and FL
are mainly made up of drugs, metals In
use in the arta, watches, furs, dm To oh
, lain the requisite additional revenue, it is
proposed to select certain articles to be
transfered from lower to higher schedules,
and a table giving the list of articles, with
the quality imported, and the revenue de
rived, is submitted to assist in the selec
tion of these, no preference being express
ed, except for the maintainance of the
revenue principle as far as it may be
done.
REPORT OF THE POSTMASTER GENERAL.
Postmaster General's Report.—The fact
is prominently set forth that from and after
the Ist day of July next, the mails are to
be convoyed between New Orleans and
Washington in three and a half days.—
The expenses of the department over and

$7,795,418, being an additii of 18,002

October 1 1851, it is probable that the

The Secretary of War, in speaking of
the war with the Indians on the Pacific,
says that apermanent peace has been es.

The war in Texes may be looked upon as

considerable duration. The operations of
the Utah army have been important and
fraught with momentous results. The peo
ple of that territory, however, still evince a
spirit of insubordination, and a strong force
needs still to be kept there. The disburse
ments amount to nearly ten millions in the
Quartermaster's department. The Secre
tary calls attention to the necessity of pro.
viding for payment of claims against the
Government by differegt States for services
of volunteers. The Secretary says he at

The estimates of the next fiscal year are
less than the appropriations of last by
$914,480. They amount in the aggre

lie will also attend to repairing CLOCKS,
not stand absolutely still, but in the aggre
gate the fears and the warnings of the
iron masters at that time have been reali
zed. Our railroad building period, from
1847 to 1857, was prolific in the importa
tion of foreign rails, and more than once
the harpies of free•trade combined to effect
a grand log-rolling through Congress, of
bills remitting duties on all railroad iron.
It has appeared probable atany times over
that the entire supply of iron for railroad
purposes woulii. by some such wholesome
scheme, be forced upon us at foreign hands
for a long series of years.
The lesson that the prosperity of these
great producing interests is the prosperity of
the whole noun ry .heir losses everybody'.
losses, seems, at last. likely to be learned,
With dense and profound stupidity, n por.
tion of the democracy has insisted that the
iron masters here alone the parties to be.
nefit by saving the iron business. Per
haps nothing could have taught the truth
short of the I3erks county- miracle. and
men whose eyes were closed in determined
unwillingness to see, have had them open
ed by that electric shock. When six thou
, sand six hundree democratic workmen in
mines and furnaces change their minds
, in one short year, it may be taken as proof
that some reason lies at the bot'om. The
, truth is, that these great interests are the
. life of the State, and in their decline and
loss, we are ruined, whether as farmers,
men iu commercial pursuits, or even quiet
property holders,
'the points of Senator Cameron's speech
are First, that the ad valorem. system is
unequal, and inefficient for either protec•
tion or revenue. Next, that the consump•
tion of iron is guided by the ability of the
. . _
the markets. The more rapidly
iron falls in price the less the ability to pur
chase. It is further shown that the iron
making uusiness is a very largo consumer
at avticultural produce ; and, lastly, that
the iron ore go; abroad is least valuable,
and often nearly worthless. It is asserted
by Mr. Cameron that those interested in the
business will be content with a specific du
ty of nine dollars per ton on pig iron, and
eighteen dollars per ton on bar iron. Du
ties so levied will repell the worthless sort
of importations, and will ensure that what
1 we do buy abroad is, at least, worth the
1 price paid for it.
There is a fitia measure of directness
about the proceedings so far had on thew
questions in Congress. Mr, Cameron is
particularly remarkable for stating with
force and terseness the gist of his case,
and his admirable compencl of the tariff
question, spoken at the curium acclaim, had
unusual weight in the popular canvass,
and great influence in causing the scales to
fall from the eyes of plain people It re
mains to follow the matter up with like vi
gorous blows to tIW end. The cause of
the people has gained so largely in political
sad moral force that it only needs compe
tent leaders to speedily bring us to the fa.
vorable issue sure finally to come.

That Spider.
Our readers, no do - übt, have heard of
that mysterious spider, which spun so
many no.iderful things, a few months ago,
among which were war and famine.—
Well, really, we did think it soon all n
hoax, but it appears front present indica,
tions that it was not ; at least our frier
on the other side of the Atlantic, John Bull
has again 'treated on our toes•' as the Lon.
dun Nines expresses n, and we think it
will 'wryly try the spunk of the President.
The duly News, howev,r. thinks there

•Mr. Buchanan is President of the United
States. Reason —.A ddressed remonstran

A new cent has recently been
struck at the Philadelphia Mint, to be sub
mitted to the Treasury for n pproval or re
jection. It is said t, be a decided improve
ment on the .nickle' now in use, although
composed of the name material. Oa one
side, instead of representing the bird of
libertyf is a beautiful head very similar to
that on the three dollar gold coin whilstthe
reverse in similar to that of the cent now
being coined.
THE GREAT in stated is
the London Bluster:led News that about
£150,000 is required to put this vessel In
sailing order. It purchased by the new
Company for £330,000, and the above a
mount be expended upon her, the cost per
ton when she is ready fur sea will be less
than that of a first class sailing vessel, and
not more than one•fourth that of a first
class steamer.
