THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN THE DISTRICT
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.

THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN THE DISTRICT.
The Commissioners under the act for the
Abolition of Slavery in the District of Col
umbia having concluded their labors, will
make their report to the Secretary of the
Treasury tomorrow The number of appli-
cants for the benefit of the act was about
one thousand, for nearly three thousand
slaves, who were duly examined and valued
by tlave dealer of Baltimore, The law
appropriates 81 200, 1000, but only $000 1000
of this sum will be paid, the authorized
average for each slave being $500. Some of
them were judged to beworth nothing, such
as infants, the aged and inyalids, so the
amounts withheld for them have been added
to those estimated of higher value than
$500.
A STATEMENT OF OUR FINANCIAL DIFFICUL-
TIES BY SECRETARY CHASE.
Secretary Chase, in answering resolution
from the House, says the soldiers have not
been paid because he is not authorized to
raise the means by practicable methods
under the existing laws, and that the FIVE
twenty bonds have not been sold because
they could not be under the reconstrictions
imposed by Congress He says the arrears
of the army pay amount to trebcl the sum
he can raise by the existing acts, exclusive
of that providing for the tiye-twenties. The
origina! act providing for their issue pro
vided also for conversions into them of any
multiples of fifty dollars of United States
notes at the pleasure of the holders, anC
| permitted sales only at market rates ascer
| tanned from daily quotations of New York
sales. Had the supplemental act passed
! emitting the conversion and market rat,
clauses, he thinks that the difficulty woult
have been avoided, as it is acting in accord
ance with the letter and spirit of the Law
that he has made no sales excepting to til,
amount of twenty-focr and half millions
in that mode. Had our expenditures beer
less or military success greater, more nigh
have been sold. There has been obtained
since July 1st, from all sources, $28s, ,304,
| ei9, exclusive Of the receipts from customs
&C.. making the total $325, 900, 900 in rounC
numbers. There has been paid to troop
! $40, 1925 ,5s3'77; to the Quartermaster's De
partmcpt, 0,4S2, ,4S6'2L; to the Commits
sary's Department, $30,611 ,492'S2; to mis-
cellaneous accounts, S3l 100, ,20o'22. Total

, The battle Of fredericksburg was the
theme of universal comment in the English

fought with bravery rarely equalled or sur

General Butler's Reception at
Boston.
BosToN, Jan. 13.

BosToN, Jan. 13.
General Butler had great and most en-
thusiastic reception to-day. The route of
the procession was lined with multitudes of
people and Faneuil Hall was overfowing.
He spoke with great feeling and emotion.
He announced his readiness to go wherever
his duty calls him. In his judgment we
had exhausted conciliation, and there should
be no peace till the Rebels were content TO
receive it as part of the Union.
His plan for paying the war debt was the
introduction Of free labor at the South,
WHEREBY labor would become honorable,
and by which more abondant crops of cotton
could be raised with profit at less cost than
by slave labor, Cotton could be raised
with profit at less than ten cents per pound.
We are now paying fifty to sixty cents per
pound for it. Put tax of ten cents c
pound upon cotton, thus bringing thu mar
ket price at twenty cents, and we have an
internal revenue from that source alone
enough to pay the interest on war debt
twice as large as that wenow have. Besides
England and France, who have done sc
much to prolong this war, would thus be
obliged to pay large proportion Of the
debt.
General Butler in concluding presented
the city of Boston with sn elegant con
federate flag, taken from the city of New
Orleans, not as u trophy, but as a memcntc
of the evils of Secession.
The cheering at the close was most en-
thusiastic. A public dinner was rendered
him which he declined, as well as a sercnads
to be given this evening, and he left in {
special train for Lowell,

But few days since Captain George aowen

Banks or Commodore Farragut, though
