Colonel PETER FORCE
Chairman Elk. Com Industrial Exhibition:
SIN: have the honor TO acknow ledge the receipt
Of the letter of the Executive Committee of the 3lst
ultino, stating what has been done by the commit
tee Of which you are chairman, to make the
sary' arrangements, and provide the necessary
means TO enable the citizens of this country TO cx
hibit their articles at the Worlds Fair in London
and, also, what the Executive Government has
promised to do in aid Of that object and informing
that there will still be a deficiency of means
The committee have most generously devoted their
time and money to this laudable enterprise with
out the hope of remuneration, and evidently with
no other motive than to advance the interests and
sustain the honor of our country. The Executive
authority has gone to the full extent of its power
in aid of the committee, and regret extremely to
say that il do no more than il has promised
cannot assume 70 advise in this dilemma but
must leave it to the committee to adopt such course
to supply the deficiency as it may judge beet
have the honor to be your obedent servant,

In summary of California news published i,

In summary OF California news published in
our paper of Wednesday last, we inserted state
ment from California paper of the death of Mr..
J. b. WINGERD, formerly of this city, and mad
vertently clause, representing that he was the
husband OF Mrs. KIRBY, an actress. We are as
sured in letter from MIR. WILLIAM ANDERSON, of
this city, that the late MIR. WINaERD was lawfully
married to his daughter, JANE INNS and therefore
could not have been the legal husband of the Mrs.
KIRBY referred to. Through motives of dclicacy,
and regard for the feelings of Mr.. ANDERSON, his
daughter, and the consanguineous relatives of the
deceased, we withheld the publication of Mr. A g
letter; but under all the circumstances of this I'M
happy affair, upon reflection we have thought it
due to the family of Mr.. ANDERSON to make this
explanation.

WHAT THEY SAY OF US IN AusrRtA-A CORE
spondcnt of the Boston Transcript, writing from
Prague, under date of December 9th, says:
''The newspapers of Austria have recently taken
unusual interest in American affairs, and the boer,
house politicians have commenced prophesying
the future downfall of the United States Govern.

the matter with them. The recent troubles caused

LINCOLN is likely to succeed Mr.. BUTTERFIELD
as Commissioner of the General Land Office

Commissioner that change in his office is in

spKrArloN OF THE Present TARirr.-To ind

OPERATION OF THE Present TARiFF.-To indi-
cate how the present tariff operates in depart
ment OF mechanical labor, may instance fact,
that we find stated in the New York Courier and
Enquirer, significant of the difference in the price
Of labor in this country and in Europe. Cheap as
printing is in this country the Messrs. Appleton
Of New York alone have imported upwards of a
million Of bibles from England during the last few
years, and at this moment, hundreds of thousands
of the Book of Common Prayer, as used in the
Protestant Episcopal church of the United States,
are being imported
We may add to this the fact that Mr. Bohn's
London editions of the English classics are fast su
perseding in this country the American editions OF
the same the former being superior in quality and
cheaper in price English editions of American
authors sometimes imported, as in the case Of
the illustrated edition Of Longcllow's Evangeline,
published by Messrs Ticknor & Co. of this city,
but manufactured in London.
Thcse facts are certainly worthy of consideration
Without an international copyright law, and with
tariff that does not protect against the compe-
tltlon OF the unremunerated labor of Europe, both
our craftsmen of the brain and Of the hands are
likely to be poorly otf.-BOston Transcript.

DEATH OF THE Hon. THOMAS SpALpINa.-The
venerable Thomas Spalding is more! He
breathed his last calmly and peacefully on the 18th
instant, at the house of his son. Charles Spalding
esq. When he went to the Georgia convention, he
said he "would go if he died the road He
has not 20 died, but he did live to return again
to the island home which he left when he repaired
to that convention. The sequel shows plainly that
our venerable friend was correctly impressed with
the danger to one OF his years and feeble health

seat as president of the convention, that sit would
be graceful termination Of long life,' was
prophecy. 1t ,oas graceful termination of life

ricul,urol notes may be compliance there
with. will endeavor, from time to time,
to furnish you with short compilations Of
these notes, which shall be at your service,
ifyou think they can in any way interest
your readers.
One of my leading objects in visiting
Europe. was to see something Of tie prac
tical agriculture Of that couniry--and hav-
ing literally travelled with nofe book in
hand, and, having been most courteously
afforded every facility to acquire informa-
ton. both by English and Scotch ugricul-
turists, l was careful TO note down such
things as supposed might afterwards
desire TO remember cannot now take
time to re- write or elaborate these notes
and in giving them to youjust as they were
written in my travels. you may expect a
mere memoranda of facts and note rcflec-
lions; and need not bcsurprised to find them
wanting in that appropriate arrangement
and conciseness. which little labor in the
closet might have given them.
