The Washington correspondent Of the Philadel-
mia Press under date Of the 18th inst, says thai
the receipts from customs at the port Of New York
on Yesterday. were S93 OOO the largest amount for
one day since August last These receipts have been
daily increasing for some weeks not only at the port
Of New York but at the other principal seaports of
the United States and the hope is entertained that
there will exist no necessity for the issue Of the en-
tire amount of S2O,O00,O0O Of treasury notes au
thOrized by Congress.
It must be remembered, however, that the War
Office recommends to Congress the appropriation Of
some five or six millions Of dollars in the deficiency
bill. which will be the first general appropriation
bill pressed TO its passage to supply deficiencies in
the regular army appropriation bill for the current
fiscal year and to provide means for early and ehec
tive operations in the Mormon country.
;z.re.se very Iafgsg Ra FsGsiPts into the Ireasu-
end upon the Secretary by the urgent wadts
~. 7osernment for the issue Of all Of the So
gbeipcreased receipts at New York are interest
indicating revival Of trade at that port and
10 certain extenta revival Of trade throughout the
country. Il is the belief of many, whose business
tisto watch closely the finances Of the Union, that
the reduction OF inc Edtee VI AAANSA~a' ---
CAPITALS will have lis influence here and may result
IN its depicting our bonded warehouses, which are
now plethoric with imported merchandise Of every
character, and consequently in filling the treasury
vRults the extent Of the duties due to the Govern
ment.
THE HERMITAGE AND THE SOLDIERS OF 1872
The sth Of January, the glorious anniversary
OF the battle Of New Orleans, was appropriately
celebrated by few Of the surviving soldiers Of
the war Of 1872, citizens of Pennsylvania, in
State convention, IN the city of Philadelphia. From
their published proceedings, extract the follow
lowing relative to the Hermitage, which viii be
highly gratifying to the people Of Tennessee We
trust that t will serve to awaken new energy
in forwarding this matter upon the part OF own
Slate. Cannot something more be done al home
than the mere formal procedure Of rendering the
Hermitage to the General Government.
WHEREAS. Mr. Zolhcoffer, member Of Congress
Frou, the Slate of Tennessee, has introduced bill
,,rovi3ing for the establishment Of branch Of the
military Academy at the Hermitage IN Tennessee;
P.5IrrE That this meeting heartily approves Of
NJ ZoUicofsr's movement; the Hermitage having
beeu The residence Of the distinguished hero anu
President Andrew Jackson, 1t seems TO be 81 place
for a literary institution, on the IAN W " ss' o-ll-'
such an institution at this place would not only be
Of great value to the country, but would also be
beautiful tribute TO the memory and honor TO the
name of him whose home the Hermitage was.
Rfsal1sE That the scientific and military educa-
tiou acquired at West Point is undoubtedly thorough
and OF service, but its benefits are too limited
Rsso'rsi, That copy Of these proceedings be sent
10 the Hon Mr. ZohcofFer and TO the members OF
Congress from Pennsylvania; and that our stale
Legislature be respectfully requested to pass reso-
lutions recommending the foregoing proceedings
and that President be requested 70 send copies
20 the members.
