FROM THE NORTH.

The Washington correspondent OF the New
York Herald says that the Mexican embroglo IS
beginning to assume serious aspect. The United
States refuses to join the trparte treaty. but pro-
posed to pay the interest on the Mexican bonds
held by Englan, and France. The English ana
French Ministers say that this is unsatisfactory
Their governments are determined to restore law
and order in Mexico, by securing foreign laterests
there The Federal Government is much embar-
rassed by this matter.
Joint Committees of both Houses of Congress
are employed in the investigation of the conduct
of the war, and are much bothered. Mcclellan
refuses to communicate his future operations, but
the Committee are determined to institute rigid
inquiry about the former reverses and future move
ments Much trouble is anticipated
A new tariff Act has been passed, which i'm
poses a duty on teas of twenty cents per pouad
coffee five cts. raw sugar two and half cts white
and clayed three cents refined five cents, molasses
six cents per gallon.
The New York Herald says the Mexieans have
been playing very mean trick on Tom Corwln,
who was bargaining with them for the privilege of
discriminating Lincoln troops at Guayamas, on the
Pacific coast Gulf of California. They told
Thomas that the Confederaes had offered s. O00,-
900 for the use of the port Of Matamoras when he
Immediately offered $4,000 900 for the use of
Guayamas and taken up, after which he dis
covered that the Confederate offer only lit
tie Mexican trickery. Supremely disgusted with
this and other things, he is coming home.

Richmond, Dec. II, 1861.

D. D. FEREBEE, ESQ, Commissioner Of NJ c.:
SIR Your letter of the 9th has been duly re-
ceived, and [ take the earliest opportunity of
answering the several inquiries which it makes.
lst The claims of the State of North Carolina
cannot be set off against the tax. The object
of the tax is to sustain the financial operations of
the Confederate Government by securing payment
of the principal and interest of the public debt.
This object would be defeated if the claims of
the States were allowed to absorb the tax
ID An essential feature Of the financial scheme
of the Confederate States is to create demand
for Treasury notes The circulation of these
notes is secured to the extent OF the war tax by
making them receivable in payment of that tax.
The acceptance of bank notes any other cur
rency would defeat this object, and they cannot
therefore, be accepted substitute.
3D. According to the existing laws. payment Of
public dues can be lawfully made only in coin or
Treasury notes. 1t was not necessary, therefore,
to declare specifically in what medium the war
tax should be paid; the general law applied to
this, in common with other public dues, and made
it the duty of Collectors to demand coin or
Treasury notes; and to exclude an exceptional
construction where a State might assume payment,
it was expressly declared that such payment
should be made in the same medium as is required
by the general law.
4th This inquiry is already substantially
answered in the negative. 1t is obvious that the
same objections would apply to the acceptance of
a State currency in payment, whether issued by
corporate or State authority.
In conclusion permit me to say, that L think
the aprrehensions entertained in your State as to
the difficulty of procuring Treasury notes BY the
tax PAYERS, are not we'll founded. They arise
from the present condition of things. You will
observe, however, that the tax is not payable un-
til May. Before that time large amount of
Treasury notes viii be issued by the government
and there will be no difficulty in procuring them
in exchange for other currency of good credit, at
or very nearly at par. The superior convenience
which they afford in being available in every State
Of the Confederacy will make them more valuable;
but small premium has always proved able to
control this advantage, and to place the best funds
1T the command of any person desiring them; and
such will oe the here if the govern ment shall be
so fortunate TO prevent redundancy.
Respectfully, your ob't servt,
c. G. NEAMIEGER, sec'y Treas

YANKEE PROPERTY DESTROYED By
THE CoNFEDERATEs.

The Confederates in Missouri appear to be
worrying the Lncolnites worse than anywhere
else. When they not fighting, they adopt
every remedy possible to cripple the enemy. The
following is from Northern paper:
WARRENToN, Mo-, Dec. 24.-The damage to
the North Missouri Railroad by the rebels NAV
be summed up follows: Bridges at Sturgeon
Centralia, Mexico, Jeffs,own, ard WarreRtown n,
burned; also one station and perhaps twenty cars,
from fifty to sixty culverts, large and SMALL three
or four water stations, 10000 ties, from 200 to
300 telegraph poles, and FIVE miles of iron de-
stroyed, and ten miles of wire rendered useless
Two trains, one having eight car loads of hogs
and several car loads of hemp, and two cars of
merchandise, are In the possession of the rebels
Some-o the men who belonged to the trains
have arrived here, from whom I learn that the
persons who did the damage are yet encamped
along the road, about five hundred being at High
Hill, and other bodies at or near Martinsburg,
Mexico, Centralia Sturgeon and Allen. At Cen
tralia they went within half mile of the Berge
Sharp Shooters and destroyed bridge and water
station. Two frei ght trains were captured within
four miles of the camp of detachment of the
same force.
At Renwick the work directed by practical
railroad men, and the right course was always
taken to make the destruction complete Where
the track was taken up the rails were removed,
the ties gathered in piles and set on fire, and the
rails thrown across the pile, so that when the
centre of the rails became heated the weight of
the cold ends benz them so as to render them use
less: In destroying the bridges the fires were
kindled around the corners, where they would
soon throw the bridge down, and the trestle
guides which spanned the open culverts were
burned, as were also the frames on which the
water tanks stood.
The houses Of railroad men and of all Union
men in the vicinity of the road were surrounded,
and the inhabitants assured that no harm wes in
telded them while they remained in doors
We hear of scarcely any piIlage, or any other
outrage beyond the destruction of the road and
telegraph lines.
The damage to the road cannot fall short of
S3OO,O0O, and at least one month will be required
TO repair it SO that trains can pass

DEAR CoTToN.-It is reported in the New
York papers that the Yankee Government has al
ready obtained five hundred thousand pounds OF
cotton, as the result of the invasion Of the
coast of South Carolina. As the original expense
of fitting out the expedition against Port Royal
not less than four millions Of dollars the to-
tai disbursements up to the present time cannot
be less than five or six millions. This would mako
the cost of five hundred thousand pounds Of cot
ton, even supposing the Yankees have obtained SO
much, more than ten dollars per poand, and We
seriously doubt whether the Government can af-
ford to pick cotton at that price, or the Yankee
manufacturers buy it. They must think by his
time they are getting cotton under difficulties So
Montgomery Advertiser.
A correspondent of Northern paper writing
from Port Royal, says they got oaly one hundred
thousand pounds cotton.
