PRESIDENT BUCHANAN.-A Washington CORES
pendent of the Boston Journal in his letter of the
14th instant, referring to large number of ladies
and gentlemen who, on that day, had called to pay
their respects to the President, says:
Mr.. Buchanan received his guests with that
frank and genial welcome that has always marked
his receptions. l saw him on the day of his inau-
guration He does not look day older now He
is in perfect health. He has no marks of being
jaded or care-worn. He does not sleep in the CITY.
Precisely at haifpast four he may be seen starting
for his rural home in the country. He has beau
tfu cottage near the Soldiers Retreat; and one of
the cottages that surround the Retreat and the one
belonging to the governor of that establishment is
the summer home of the President 1t is four miles
from the city, and delightful drive. He dimes at
o'clock At 6 he welcomes, in quiet way, any
gentlemen or ladies who may choose to call on him
and this ride is becoming quite a. fashionable one,
and any afternoon the President may be seen on
the piazza of his beautiful cottage, with his friends
enjoying the air and the scenery as we'll as the
graceful society that surrounds him. Few men have
occupied the Executive chair who have understood
so we'll how to tighten official care, and catch the
passing comfort the burdens of office are borne
and this accounts for Mr.. Buchanans good health.

the Richmond Morning Nens it is assumed that the
cotton product of the South will, the present sea

fifty dollars per bale-would reach the sum Of two

could be sustained even under the most extrava-

where single product amounts to sum in money
equivalent to the annual expenses Of the govern

While the foreign trade at all the chief ports of the
United States exhibit large falling off, the trade of
New Orleans, Mobile and Galveston is steadily on
the increase We append the following figures of the
cash duties collected on imports through the Custom
House, New Orleans, for the year ending the 3lst of
Dec, 1853 1t must be taken into consideration that
the great excess of 1856 was owing to the large in
crease in the importation of sugar quarter of
1856 Of the solar year. the duties reached 81 Oo
The following July, 1857, the revised tariff went into
operation. Notwithstanding the reduction in duty,
it will be seen that for the last quarter Of 1885, the
amount Of duties exceeds 1857, as appears by the
Statement of Duties, received at the Custom House.

Uncurrent money has, from the influx of strangers,
been offered with more freedom this week-that is,
of distant bank issues, particularly of the Western
and Georgia and South Carolina. The sales over the
counter are less than the offerings the South Caro-
lima and Georgia money is not retained generally but
sent home for redemption. Western bank paper will
be in demand for some time. There have been no re-
ceipts of Mexican coin this week. A shipment of
gold from California was received by the Empire
City, say 100000. American silver coin has been
only in moderate request and for city trade. There
are very few orders for the country and rates having

Friday Evening, Jan a. 1863.
There was an enlarged demand for money to-day,
which was expected from indications apparent at the
close Of business yesterday The offerings in bank
were large, approaching $4,000 There were, of
course some reflections The offerings were all round
beyond the income. On the street there was some
thing OF hardening character-that is, buyers did
not seem inclined to take 80 freely as they did in the
early part of the week. 1t is, however, mere spasm
OF the market, possibly some few factors have been
holding on for higher prices for the staple The
weather turned up this morning more favorably, and
if it continues good share of the purchases of cotton
during the week will be speedily weighed and de-
livered. In the general rates for paper there are
some changes to be noted. We quote:

About the Election Of Speaker.

WASHINGTON, December 3-l2 M.-Nearly
I'LL the South American members of the House
are now in conference. The probability Ia
that they will not vote for the plurality reso-
luton relative to the election Of Speaker, but
put forward their own candidate upon the
suffrages Of other members Of the House.
The Democrats will also probably agree not
to vote for the plurality resolution, the design
Of many being to unite these two parties upon
an American candidate.
Over eighty mombsrs were present at the
Republican Conference hold this afternoon.
Mr.. Petit, Of Indiana, presided, and Mr.. Nc
Pherson, of Pennsylvania, Secretary.
The discussion, which was a harmonious
one, lasted one or two hours. Some of the
most radical Republicans expressed their will.
lingness to vote for an American or anti-Le-
compton Clerk if a Republican Speaker was
elected. II was finally determined not to call
an Opposition, or a straigthout Republican
caucus, but that every member should 90 into
the House and vote for his choice, as was done
four years ago. Z. Jay Morris, Millward,
and other Northern Americans were present.

DEATH OF "A FEMALE MIsER IN ALABAMA.
The Mobile papers record the death of sin
gular character in that city, Mrs. Farat Mo-
ran, who was found dead at her residence.
The Register, of late dale, says: "Mrs. Moran
had been living in the house where she died
for some years, and often locked herself up
for days at a time, and never allowed any Of
her neighbors to visit her. Notwithstanding
that she had plenty of this worlds goods, she
lived apparently in extreme poverty. Some
Of her neighbors, not seeing her since Satur-
day last, were influenced to inquire into the
matter. They found her on her bed, dead,
and from the decay of her body she had evil
IDENTIFY been dead several days. We believe
that she was native Of this place, and of
French descent, and about seventy years of
ago.

President Martinez and the people have the

Dying Mysteriously The Cavalry
Ordered Out,

CHARLEsTowY, VA, December 2.-Shortly
after the execution of Brown, and while his
body was being taken to the depot, great ex-
citement was occasioncd In the town by the
arrival of horseman, announcing that Wheat
land, the residence Of George II. Turner, shot
at Harper's Ferry, was on fire, and that it was
extending to the buildings.
VIM. F. Thurner, who was in town, had left
home at ten o'clock. He said that several of
the horses had died very suddenly, and also
some sheep. It was supposed they had been
poisoned, and it was intended to have their
stomachs analysed. The stock Of Mr.. Castle.
man. aud Mr.. Myers, in the same neighborhood,
had also died very mysteriously. The excite
ment was very great, and Colonel Davis had
the Farsuior Cavalry in readiness to 60 out and
inquire into the truth about the Ere.
