THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF MAXI
MILrAN.-Thc particulars concerning the late
attempt to assassinate Macmillan are fur
nshed in a correspondence from Mexico to
the New York Herald as follows: 49,.
"rhe day during Maximilan's last sojourn
at Cuerravaca, while walking about, followed
alta short distance by one of his staff officers.
the attention of the latter was excited by the
suspicious move of man who appeared to
be doggiug the Emperor, stopping when he
stopped, and gradually approaching closer
and closer to him. Finally, when the indi-
vidual had got close to His Majesty, the staff
officer rushed forward and seized him. Upon
searching him loaded revolver was found
concealed under his coat. He was of course
arrested; but it isreported that he was short
ly afterwards released by order Of the Empe-

Decline of the Gold Premium.

From the Washington National Mtelltgen-
cer, of the 9th instant, we copy the following
In reference to the decline in thegold market
and its effects upon trade:
"The gold premium has declined to about
shirty-tbree per cent, and is likely to fall, as
it did last spring, to thirty or lower. The
Secretary of the Treasury is sreportedto to have
raid that he could easily cause further de.
cline; but the fall, during the last week, was
raithout any exercise Of his power over the
market. No gold has been sold by the
Treasury for week past, though, during the
previous week, the sum of twelve millions
was put into the market. The Treasury still
commands large amount Of gold.
Money is so abundant in the commercial
centres that speculation Aourishes though
regular business is at 3 stand. Speculation
in the city of Nav York has for week past
been directed strongly to real estate at ad-
RANGING prices, the auction sales amounting
10 quarter of million of dollars day.
This shows not only the abundance of money,
but the want Of employment for it in any
regular business.
Many persons marvel at the fact that the
prices of living are still maintained at the
same rate which prevailed when gold vas
200. An actual scarcity of commodities
caused diminishing production and suddenly
increasing consumption, has been and still is
among the causes of high prices, aawell az
the redundancy of paper currency. But
prices tend downwards, and mus. decline very
ssnsibly, even without any reference to the
success of any scheme Of contraction. Hun
dreds Of thousands of men, lately in arms,
and large consumers, must now become pro.
ducers, aud besides these the Vast current OF
immigration brings daily acce-s;ops to our
means of production.
DRY goods. both foreign and domestic.
havo fallen heavily-wholesale prices ha ring
declined 20 per cent. during the past week.
The Southern demand for goods, which waa
90 brisk during few months following the
close Of the war. has subsided, aud TIE sup
ply has exceeded The means Of payment. The
South has nearly exhausted the resources
which remained to it, after the war in cotton,
tobacco, naval stores, ETC., and the prospects
of production for 1867 is far from being
good.
aSoms business men anticipate general
decline Of price, and as a-conseuuence of il,
q contraction Of bank loans which will fall
vith severity upon bank debtors. Banks are
generally increasing instead Of diminishing
their loans. The l1an line of the New York
city banks before the war was a hundred and
forty millions, though legitimate business is
falling of. When the banks shall, from ,,ru-
dentist reasons, contract their loan line, ev,ry-
thing upon which these loans are based viii

QuAKERs LEAVING NORTH CARoL1NA-An
Inspector of the Bureau of Refugees, Freed
men, &C., reports that the boat from Aqua
Greek, Virginia, brought to the city this
morning seventy. five persons Of the Society
of Friends, from Randolph County, North
Carolina, who are on their way to settle in

JEALOUSY BETWEEN THE WEST AND EAST

JEALOUSY BETWEEN THE WEST AND EAST.
The Commercials Washington special says:
The debate in the House yesterday on the
Reciprocity Treaty, strengthens the growing
jealousy between Western and New England
men on the subject of protection.
The Western members are in favor of lib
eral trade arrangements with Canada, and
com plain that national interests are subordi-
mated to the Views of Eastern manufacturers.
Attempts are being made to so combine
the fishing, lumber, coal, and wool interests
as to change the continental tariff bill, now
under consideration, from revenue to protcc.
tive, by largely increasing the duties.

A Rich TRlAL-A queer case came up be.
fore the military court in this city, on Tues
day. 1t seems that Mr.. Brinson and a
freedman of Burke county had q fight at
Millen, one day last week, and the, freedman
reported" Mr. 3. to the Federal authorities
here. They sent two soldiers-one Of them
a Sergeant-to Burke county after the Offend
ing Brinson. On arriving at Millcn the
Sergeant became intoxicated, fell from his
horse, and lay some time asleep. While in
that oblivous state, the prosecuting Darkey
stole his pistol, and in attempting to make
his way off was detected by the other soldier
who was not SO drunk, and the pistol re-
covered.
All the parties were brought before the
military tribunal here, as stated. Upon ex-
animation, Mr. Brnson was honourably dis
charged the Sergeant was "sent up" for
getting drunk; and the American citizen of
African scent was held in durance vile for
stealing the pistol. 1t is but fair to add, that
the plea Of the sable delinquent was that
"Mass Yank was too drunk to take keer ol
hisself," aud he thought he would "takr
keer" Of his weapon for him.-August's

we have faith, assures US that oil vegetables
of the vine kind, as bean,, peas, potatoes,
etc., bear more luxurian;ly if planted in the

that corn planted on the decline of the moon

MosEs--A PARALLEL.

The radical Unionsts in the Western
States are enjoying parallel ran by some
wit on the praisies between our johnson
Moses and the Moses OF Scripture, to the
effect that
Moses led his people through the sea;
johnson led his into 1t.
Moses asked Pharaoh to let the people go;
johnson was asked by Congress to let the
people go, but wouldn't.
Moses cast down and broke the tables OF
the law; so has Johnson
Moses erected u serpent in the wilderness
and the people lived johnson erected n
serpent in New Orleans and the people died
Moses slew an Egyptian; johnson "slews"
himself
Moses had Aaron for II spokesman; john
son has his spokesman. Aaron made and
showed Il calf; Johnson's man made and
showed menagene.
Moses ate quails in the wilderness; John
son entertained equals " at the White
House.
Moses sang song of triumph; johnson
sings on the other side of his mouth.
Moses was angry with the people; so is
johnson.
In Moses's time there were plaques by
reason of hanging on to slavery and main
taining the slave power; so there arc in
JohnsOn's
Moses esteemed reproach greater than the
riches of Egypt, for he had respect unto the
recompense of the reward; johnson esteems
his ''policy' far above reproach, and had
respect unto the recompense of the pardon
brokers.
Moses was the meckest man; johnson is
the 'umblest individual.
Moses sent spies to spy out the land, and
they brought back an evil report; so did
johnson, and they brought back increased
Radical majorities.
Moses didn't bring his people into the
promised land; so didn't Johnson.
