E0"SEcREr OF BEAUTY.-LAInD's BLoou
OF YoETH, or LrQUnD PEARL, for beauty
ing and preserving the complexion and
skin. This invaluable and wonderful tot
let article was discovered by celebrated
chemist in France, some years since, and
it is to him that all the Courts of Europe,
at the present age, owe all their beauty
and loyelipess. This preparation, with all
its simplicity and purity, there is no arti-
Gle that will compare with it as beauti-
flyer and preserver of the complexion and
skin. Mr.. Laird procured the receipt of
him some two years since; he hns, during
that time, given it perfect trial amongst
his own personal friends and the aristo-
cratic circles of New York City, who have
used it with unqualified admiration, so
much SO that they would consider the tot
let imperfect without this valuable and
purely harmless preparation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2G.-The war depart
ment can take no action with reference to
the recent movements at Pittsburgh and
Allegheny until Official Information is re-
relved from the officer in charge of the
Arsenal The order for the removal of
the guns was recently issued to be at ship
Island and Galveston by the time the de-
tenslve works at those points, though nn-
hnlshed, may be ready to receive them
The appropriation for the purchase of the
cannon WAS long since made for the pur-
pose above Stated, and the order for their
removal thither was in accordance with
law and regulations, without any refer
ence whatever to political occurrences.
Capt. lngrahAn. of South Carolina, in
command OF the sloop-of-war Richmond,
OF the Mediterranean squadron, has asked
and obtained leave to return home
The proceedings of the two Congress
sional Select Committees on the crisis tx-
cite no particular interest, us it is not
supposed that they will be able to come 10
satisfactory conclusion, and ms extreme
! ooutherners are ut present opposed to any
compromise.
The South Carolina Commissioners have
arrived, and taken private quarters. BY
arrangement they will confer with the
President to- morrow, either verbally or in
%riting. The subject will be referred to
Congress in a special message, on which
an exciting and critical debate is antici-
pated.
a further revelation of tile facts, shows
that Russell, Majors Co.'s contract has
, two years to run. The alleged acceptan-
ces of the Secretary of War, said to con-
slst of mere memoranda, statiug that SO
much money would be due on the exccu-
ton of Il certain service under the con-
tract for the transportation of army sup
plies, which Mr.. Russell had from time to
time used as collateral security in bor-
rowing money. Such memoranda or GER

other departments under like circumstan-
ces.

sFyCnnIsruAs was lively day in the
ei,y. We suppose there never was an
equal amount of registering done here in
the same time. The streets were filed
with people, and everybody was running
over with jocundity and running over their
psighbors. The business places were
nearly all closed, and prottling children,
srmed with the rich gifts of Santa Claus,
mingled with those of larger growth, aud
such popping, whizzing, cracking, yell
ling, laughing, and general merry making
there never was since Columbus discovered
America. Young America could not have
been more jubilant and all loaferdom was
agog TO add its quantam to the confusion.
On Christmas eve the moon shone with
almost the light of day, and the air was
clear and cold, but the morning dawned
upon some two inches of snow, which had
fallen during the night and which contiu
ued to accumulate until the day had some-
what advanced The whole town was
wide awake by daylight, and the air was
filled with snow fakes and merry Christ
mas greetings.

PAILADEtPutA, Dec 28.-Tle Bulletin
of this evening, speaking of the Pttsburg
excitement, says: Let our Pittsburg friends
be informed that any such rising is re-
1elIion. The authority of the Federal
Government must be supreme. The fact
that the President is not fit for his Office
does not absolve the people from allegi-
ance to the United States or Justify re-
sistance to their officers. The suspicion
that these guns are to be employed against
the North or to be handed over to possible
traitors at the South does not warrant an
interference. with their removal. Z
