y REVERSE, AND \ BAD ONE.-In the month
of December, 1856, the exports of Domestic
Produce from the port OF New York amoun-
ted to SS,2i6, ,568, and of specie to Sl.779.ISI.
In the month Of December. 1857. the exports
OF Produce were 50 ,632 ,33S, while those Of
specie were 81 ,535 ,G52. This is turning the
table completely. Perhaps some democratic
politicians can explain to us how long it will
take the country to return to prosperity under
the workings Of change like this.

Va, the other day. Says the IFhig.-':Hc
passed through Lynchburg ON his way hiher,
and not fancying the idea of crossing the High
bridge on the line Of railroad, concluded to
try the canal packet. The Lynchburg Courier
thus notices his personal appearance: lie is
six feet four inches high, large in proportion
and as straight an Indian. lie has but lit
tie hair son the top of his head and what he
has, has been silvcred hy the touch of time
as has also the large moustache which digni-
fcs his upper lip. He wears vest made of
some kind of animals skin, (vild Cat appar-
ently.) has his pantaloonS stuffed in the legs
of his boots, and altogether presents quite q
backwoods and dlapidated appearancc-at
least so far his dress is concerned. As
General Jackson said of the old soldier who

and fought enough to wear his pantaloCns any
way he pleaScs.

The St. Louis Republican of Jan. Sth contains
letter from Fort Kearney, of the 23d Dec.
stating that Col. Johnston was at Fort Bridgcr
Nov. 26. Col. Cook with his whole command
had also arrived. The grass had all been burnt
and the animals were dying AT the rate Of one
hundred 4 day. The Mcrmons were fortifying
all the passes leading to Salt Lake City. Jcs-
Sc Jones, agent OF Majors x Russell, had been
released, and sent to Col. Johnstons camp.
In passing through the different canons he was
blindfolded by tie Mormons, TO prevent him
from obtaining knowledge of their move
mcnts. The report that 200 Of Col. Cook s
troops had been masSacred, lacks confirmation,
and is thought to be entirely false.
