AMUSEMENTS.

Paul Julien, who is now under the control
and management of Mcguire, gives another
concert at the new Academy of Music, this
afternoon. Professional success immense; pc.
cuniary ditto moderate, just moderate, my
dear :" as the matter of fact old deacon told
his dying wife when she said to him by way
of farewell, " John, l have been good wife
to you!" The Metropolitan runs good plays,
with a good company, to poor houses as
usual, and the Opera House is as well patron
lied at least as to bill of fare offered justi6es.
General Mcdowell and Governor Low visit
the latter place in full feather tonight, on an
express invitation from Mcguire, and of
course the house will be crowded. confess
that this rare show is not to my liking, and
that it seems in bad taste to me, but am
not boss The Bell Ringers, after toler-
ably successful run of two weeks, are on
their way up country. They played at Be-
nicia last night. They are worth visit, and
bespeak liberal patronage for them in Ne
yada.
The Rev. Horatio Stebbins, of Portland,
Maine, was formally called to the pulpit
made vacant By the death of the Rev. T. Starr
King, in the Unitarian Church last evening.
He is amply able to fill it with credit.
No more to-day from your AMIGO.

Gen. Grant Going.

General Grant leaves for Washington
this morning, and repairs Immediately
to the front His staff is composed Of
officers formerly with him in the Mill
tary Division of the Mississippi Among
them are Brigadier General Rawlings,
chief of staff; Lieut. Colonel Bowers,
Capt c. K. Leet, Capt f S Parker,
A. A. G., Capt H " Jones, A @. NJ,
Capt Badsan, Lieut. Colonel Duff Gate
chief of artillery, goes as senior Aide
de-Camp.
We have no doubt but active opera
tons viii commence soon. The country
has full confidence in the General,
and viii watch his movements with
interest, and anticipate a glorious re-
suit with confidence.
We place no reliance in the rumors
that Meade is to be superseded; in
deed we know that General Grant does
not contemplate his removal; but he
viii superintend the movements of the
army in person.

The bill authorizing the Secretary Of
the Treasury to dispose Of surplus
gold has passed both Houses of Con
gress, and become a law This, we be-
lieve, viii materially interfere with the
gold spectators, who have been grow
ing rich on a fictitious capital Secre-
tary Chase is certainly the ablest fnan-
cier in the country; and we believe he

him judiciously.
There are several circumstances which
commend the gold bill In the first
place, the news of its defeat, some days
since, give bullion an additional pre-
MUM Of ten per cent in two days;
while the prospect Of its final adoption
reduced it to about its old standard
Again: all of the public journals
which are in sympathy with the rebel
lion oppose it, which ought to be evi-
deuce that it it will give additional

ing whole columns in condemnation Of
the scheme, and their invectives know
no bounds Members Of Congress, too,
who favor a recognition Of the South,
also voted against the bill
The gold spectators, to a man, were
shocked at the corruption which the
bill might engender But it does not
require an extraordinary foresight to
perceive that it is their pockets, and
not their consciences, that are touched.
They look upon their profits, if not
their occupation, as "gone" As indi-
cation of their feelings, it is only ne
cessary to peruse the columns of such
a journal as the Cincinnati Enquirer,
whose proprietors are the heaviest gold
spectators west Of the mountains. 1t
has used all its influence against the
measure, as being calculated to strike
not only at the darling political
schemes, but at the pockets of its man
ayers We shall expect a material de
cline in gold soon.

What a Fall. &c.

When the bill providing for the adj
mission of Colorado Territory in the
Union as a State was up for discussion
in the House Of Representatives, at
Washington, Mr. Mallory, a conserva-
tive" member from Kentucky, moved
to strike out the clause prohibiting
slavery; and when the vote was taken,
it was discovered that the proposition
commanded just seventeen votes. What
a fall there has beenl Slavery, which
so recently welded the whole power
of the Government which dictated
policy TO Presidents, and Congresses,
and decisions to courts, can find but
seventeen devotees in the House Of
Representative, who are willing to
stand by it in the hour of its calamity !

The Emperor of Russia still continues
to inaugurate reforms within his do
minions. He has just published a
ukase, relative to the press which,
though it does not allow perfect free
dom, in the sense that term is under
stood in England and America, is yet
far in advance of the laws of France
and most of the other Continental
States 1t permits any man to publish
a paper, and to print what he likes, after
depositing 1000 francs with the Gov
eminent, as a security against hbels.
Between this and perfect freedom, the
step IS but short
He has also ordered the election of
provisional and district assemblies, to
consist of delegates chosen by the peo-
pie, upon suffrage more liberal than
that of England and on these the adj
ministration of local affairs are con
ferred The former corresponds with
the boards of supervisors in the counties
of New York, Illinois, &c. and the
latter with the State Legislatures
These bodies are allowed to pass laws
within certain limits; and to appoint
an executive committee TO enforce the
DEGREES of the courts. Trial by jury is
also about to be instituted, and arbi-

Huntsville, to the effect that no less
than 5000 bales had already been re-
ceived at that place, and that more
wsn coming touches a matter Of deep
and general interest to the public, not
only in this country, but in Europe.
Such supplies cannot other than have
an effect on the cotton market; indeed
it has had that effect, as every one can
see, by noticing the steady decline in
the quotations in the New York market
reports, as published in the Union
every morning.
England will soon be able to supply
Its demands from India; and France
from England and South America so
that the only markets that viii remain
for Southern fibre, viii be those Of the
United States; and Of course prices
muss decline materially If the war Is
closed up speedily, the South will be
able to again enter the markets of the
world at fair prices, and compete with
the labor of India, with good show Of
success; but if the Southern ports re-
main closed for two or three years more,
the people Of the cotton States will be
compelled to devote half their fields to
the production Of something else than
cotton
India was always adapted to the
culture Of cotton but for long time
the British Government was unaware
Of the real obstacles to a supply from
that country. They employed men to
teach the natives to raise the plant,
when they and their ancestors have
been devoted to its culture for at least
two thousand years But recently, the
true difficulty became apparent; the
/ Hindoos could raise sufficient cotton to
supply the world but they had no
means Of reaching market, and con-
/ sequently no motive to stimulate them
to increased production. Off the coast
there were neither railroads, nor wag-
gon roads; nothing but circuitous and
dangerous horse paths through almost
boundless forests and consequently
but little if anything could be carried
from the interior and the cotton cul-
ture was a failure
But within the last few years, i'm
mense sums have been expended in the
construction of railroads and in a short
time thousands Of miles will be in oper-
alton; and markets viii be as easily
reached from interior India as from
interior Dixie; and the result will be,
England viii draw the greater quaint
ty Of its cotton from its own territories.
The cotton monopoly has thus been
broken by the war; and nothing will
prevent the almost entire destruction
of the interest itself, so far as this
country is concerned, but a speedy re-
turn to allegiance, on the part of the
planters
But it is not in the immediate sup
ply, that the announcement referred to
receives its chief significance. 1t
evinces that the rebels are ready and
anxious to sell to the loyal people, for
greenbacks; and that all that is needed,
IS to allow them to bring their cotton
into our lines, under such restrictions
as may be necessary, in order to not

A TRIANGULAR SHIP Mr. Henry
Dempster has been exhibiting his
Yacht, the Problem, the hull of which
is triangular, the sternpost being made
TO rake at the same angle as the stem,
so that both meet and terminate in a
triangular point under the water
Among other experiments tried by the
inventor was one tested at Newcastle
by driving two stakes into the ground
at low water mark, to which a strong
iron bar was dashed horizontally.
When the tide rose sufficiently high to
show that there was one foot and half
less than the Problem required to sail
clear of this obstruction, and, conse-
quently, that the vessel would strike it
with her angular keel, she was sailed
stem on at the bar, a stiff breeze blow
ing at the time, when she went over it
By rise and fall, similar to a horse
jumping a gaze.

Hon. j B. Hancock

DEAR SRI wish I had to-day a
glass of your excellent wine l feel
somewhat languid and fatigued after
my multiplied and incessant duties
here hope some day to drink the
health of our young nation and talk
over our hair-breadth escapes and
tribulations. The present hour looks
gloomy to be sure; but, like yourself,
| believe in ultimate success To give
us this success, we want to strike an eff
fective blow early in the spring. This
will set us on our legs again. Doubt
less the Federals will open the cam
paign by moving a heavy column upon
Atlanta, Ga, and at the same time a
heavy one from Knoxville, and North
ern North Carolina.
This latter, if not repealed, will force
upon Gen. Lee the necessity of falling
back from his present position, it may
be from Richmond, and almost entirely
from Virginia, to prevent himself from
being thanked, and his army from being
entirely disbanded or destroyed. You
can see at once if this movement be al
lowed to succeed, that these eonse-
quences must follow. This portion of
Virginia is now pretty well eaten out,
and if Lees army were cut off from
the South it could not be provisioned
for three months. Pressed IN front, and
harrassed in rear, with provisions ex-
hausted, disarmament and destruction
must follow
Then it becomes a matter Of the first
moment to guard the rear of the army
of the Potomac
Should the movement upon Atlanta
succeed, then Georgia will be laid waste,
and our chief source Cat presently of
provisions, will be cut off No man can
look forward to spring, without great
apprehensions Doubtless our severest
trials will then be upon US. If we sus-
tain ourselves, or more, if we gain any
signal advantage over the enemy soon
after the opening of the campaign, we
may give the opposition elements of the
North chance to combine and beat
Lincoln for President This l should
hail as good omen, and begin to think
of peace at no very distant day see no
chance for peace until the Republican
party IS beaten and overcome. In the
meantime things are assuming a more
unfavorable aspect in North Carolina
Her course is deeply humiliating TO
every patriotic heart. Congress is la
boring diligently to strengthen our ar
my and improve our currency. hope
we shall succeed materially in accom-
plishing both of these ends. The rene
dy is a severe one, but the disease is
desperate, and no silly nostrum will
answer. The cause is the peoples. and
they must sustain 1t at all hazards, and
the representative who falters in this
hour of trial is not worthy ofconfdence.
would tell you what measures we are
likely TO adopt, but that would be con-
traband, our proceedings are in secret
session
As ever, your friend, most truly.

TammanE Han Democracy.

The Tammany democracy ofNew York
have at length cut loose from the peace
men, and announced their determining
ton to act independently in the future
They have recently held meeting, at
which the following resolutions were
passed
1st We believe that the war to preserve
the Union and enforce the authority of the
federal government ought to be. vigorously
prosecuted until these objects are accom-
plished.
ID We believe that the Constitution has
survived the rebellion, and that, although
traitors have forfeited their lives TO the
government, the States live with their rights
unimpaired.
Sd. We believe that the only way to OBJ
tain an honorable peace is to put down the
rebellion, and that peace should be thus Sc
cured at the earliest possible moment.
4th We believe that slavery, as a subject
Of political agitation, has passed from the
politics of this country and that there
should be but one party of the patriotic
men of the land, devoted wholly to the re-
storation Of the Union and the supremacy
Of the Constitution, surrendering all subor-
dinate issues. If the Union is saved, every
WAblE NnAA NC AAE5AAAIN A A44N A4lltu - AooNJ
all is lost
Other resolutions were adopted, but
we have not the space to give them at
length; and an expression was made in
favor Of some one Of our leading gen
erals as a candidate for the Presidency.
From many of the positions assumed,
we dissent; but this we will say: had
the democratic party stood from the
beginning upon the platform put forth
by the Tammany politicians; and had
they honestly carried out the views ex,,
pressed, whenever and wherever in
office, it would have embraced within
its folds three-ffths of the loyal voters
to-day; and the war would have been
ended ere this; the rebels, having no
friends in the North, and indulging no
hope from dissensions in the loyal
States, would have long since abandon
ed the struggle
The Tammany politicians, however,
have begun the work late; and we be-
Heve too late to retrieve the fortunes of
the democratic party.

The Louisville Journal, in a notice of
our article touching the base murder of
a number Of Col Stokes cavalry, by the
rebel guerrilla Champ Ferguson, after
he had taken them prisoners, says
Ferguson is a regularly commission
ed rebel officer, and one Of the chief
favorites in the rebel service If what
Lieut. Carter says is true, as undoubt-
eddy it is, our Government must have
redress, even though the cost be a els
tern of blood A Government that
would submit to have its troops muir
dered with impunity in their captivity,
would deserve to be transfxed with
the keenest arrows of Heavens and
earth's vengeance and scorn.
There can be no doubt, whatever, of
the correctness of 1t Carriers state
ment; which was but a repetition of
information We had previously receiv-
ed from Col Stokes himself 1t is a
notorious fact that Champ Ferguson
holds no prisoners He murders all he
captures He has been pursuing this
practice for upwards of twelve months;
and has been particularly vindietive
and ruiiiaply when he had the oppor-
tunity TO massacre Tennessee Union
men He and his gang should be hunt
ed down like wolves.
