OUR FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC
COMMEP OE. :"
Statement of the Secretary of the
Treasury.

From the New York Journal Of Commerce.
Statistics prepared in answer to resolu-
tons of Congress, calling upon the Secre-
tary of the Treasury for information in
regard to the carrying trade, steam ton
mage, &C., have just come from the hands
of the public printer. The following is
an abstract: m -..-s ~. .l... ........7....
The portion relating to foreign COM
merce furnishes a statistical analysis of
the course of foreign trade for the last
fifty years, designed to show how the large
carrying fade which fell to our hands be-
fore the close of the last century was al
lowed to fall away and be lost, SO that we
are not now even the carriers of our own
productions to their foreign markets. It
is shown that the invasion of foreign ship
ping into our business, though sometimes
considerable, about the time of the war of
1912 did not take q permanent hold until
1882 and 1888, after which time it made
steady progress until it constituted nearly
half the shipping engaged in foreign trade
in 1860. From 1921 to 1880 the average
amount of foreign tonnage entering our

War on the Hydr0Pathic Prinelple---
Military Railroads, &c.

WELDON Road, Va Nov. 25.-I have
nothing new to tell tonight, except to mo-
tice the fact that our lines have continued
remarkably quiet during the past twenty
four hours, so much SO as to be the subject
of general remark. No reason can be
given for it, for no new orders have been
issued, and the old ones regarding firing
continue still in, force. The pickets have
become quite numerous. Our boys chaff
the sJohnnies" about their ''water works, ~
and the rebels retort by yelling "turkeys"l
in reply. The recent operations of the
enemy in damming mp the creek on our
right bids fair to rebound to their serious
discontinue - ira
Their dam was situated in the base of
the creek, where it left our lines for theirs,
and afterward came back into ours. When
it was discovered by our men, new dam
was built at the lower end of the land, and
then d" Plum Gut " canal dug, which re-
lieved Us of the superabundant water, and
so threw. the onus and the flood back upon
the rebels. From the fact that they car
not get rid of the aqueous element, and
that we are adding each day to the height
and strength ofou dam, the consequences
to Lee threaten to be serious. It. would
be comical, if, after besieging the enemy
so long, we drown them out after all.
The military railroad has been extended
for some two miles further to our left,
which extension was necessitated by the
length of our lines. The new station is
named "Patrick Station" We have now
Meade, Hancock, Parke, Warren, Hrney,
Patrick, and Cedar Level Stations. The
new part of the line is very curious one,
dipping into and crossing two or three
marshes, and rising abruptly over several
bills. At times the trains disappear alto
gether in the hollows. This railroad is
one of the wonders of the day, and proves
conclusively that cars can be run over
the rough country without much trouble.
By the new extension much of cur tran
sportation has been relieved. 5-.

Narrow Escape of Ben Butler.

WAsHlNGToN, Nov. 2s.-As the steamer
Webster was coming down James River
yesterday, when near Hog Island, she dis.
covered that the steamer Greyhound, Gen.
Buffers dispatch boat, was making signals
of distress. On nearing the Greyhound.
she was discovered to be on fire. Gems.
Butler and Schenck and Admiral Porter
were on board the Greyhound, but the
steamer Pioneer came and took them off.
Gen. Butler and his friends were at dinner
at the time. Suddenly the furnace-doors
blew open, driving the fremen> and enoi.
neers from their rooms
The Greyhound was almost enyeloped
in flames, and, notwithstanding eyery
effort to save her, she was burned to the
waters edge. Ten horses belonging to
Gen. Butler and staff were burned to
death. Shortly before the accident, the
Greyhound had received from the steamer
Cossaek the army mail for Gen. Buffers
department, which left Washington yes
terday morning, and it is supposed to be
lost. 4.
