NEW YORK, December 5.--The HerqIds
Washington correspondence says "The Com
mander of Fort Moultrie, at Charleston, has
called on the War Department for additional
troops and munitions. 1t is understood that
the President and Secretary of War are
favorable to the demand, but the other mem-
| bers of the Cabinet differ"
With view to relieve the present finan-
| cial embarrassment OF the Government, Mt.
! Phelps made a proposition this morning in
| the Committee of Ways and Means, to issue
| 100000 600 in the form of treasury-notes.
The consideration of this proposition was
| postponed for a short time as the Secretary
| of Treasury's report on finances IS not
printed, and the members OF the committee
are not prepared to decide on the proper
method of relieving the embarrassment ol
the treasury.
The Speaker will not announce the special
committee on that part Of the Presidents
Message referring to secession troubles until
Monday, desiring to consult with the mem
bers of the different States in order to make
the best selections.

PRORATE COURT.

The Cincinnati and Spring-grove. avenue
Company and the Cincinnati and Spring

A. Smith and H. o. Gilbert. Judge Hilton
charged the jury. The plaintiffs made ap-
plication to this Court to condemn certain
property belonging to the defendants, sixty
feet wide and 2l4I feet in length.
The Jury should estimate the absolute
value of the property, not only of the real
estate, but of the fixtures, taking into con-
sideration only the damages that were
natural, proximate and immediate, and not
those that were remote and contingent.
Private property could not be taken for
public use, or for the use of this corporation
without full compensation. The distillery
was running, and the Jury would have to
say whether there was evidence that it was
necessary to stop it, and, if so, what would
be the absolute expense or outlay by thai
delay.
The case has now gone to the Jury, whC
will commence their deliberations to-day.

The Chaldeans and the Egyptians dated
their wears from the autumnal equinox. Inc

from the new moon nearest the middle Aqua

March, and that of Numa in january. The
Brahmins begin the year in February, when
the leaves begin to grow green. Their year
consists of eighteen months, having twenty
days each; the last of days are spent in mirth,
| and no business is suffered to be done, nor
| anv service in the temples. The Abyssin-
ians had FIVE idle days at the end OF every
year, which commenced on the Goth OF
August. The American Indians reckon
from the first appearance of the new moon
at the yernal equinox. The MohammedanS
begin their year the minute the sun enters
Aries. The Venetians, Florentines and the
Pisans, in Italy, began the year at the vernal
Equinox. The French year, during the reign
