COLUMBUS, o., March "a. '66.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Items of general in
terest and worthy of publication, are
hard to gain in this city at any time,
but particularly so during the past
week.
1t would naturally be presumed,
that enough might be CLEANED from
the proceedings of the Legislature,
to form the subject matter of one
letter per week, but he, who attempts
to CLEAN the few grains of wheat from
the mountain of chaff which each
days session brings forth, will find
his labor poorly paid for.
In my last, you were advised of
both Houses having adjourned over
to Tuesday Doth, on which day at p
P. NJ. they re-assembled, and ad-
journed without any practical re-
suits to public or private interests.
On Wednesday the House voted to
accept the invitation of the council
of Cincinnati, to visit that city, ex-
tended tensibly for the purpose of
viewing College Hill, as site for
the Agricultural College, but in re-
ality for the purpose of obtaining in
the future as in the past, special
Legislation. The Senate of course
also voted in favor of it, and accord
ingly on Friday at l o'clock and 40
minutes P. NJ. a goodly number OF
gentlemen of both Houses took the
cars for Cincinnati. What they did
after arriving there, is already known
to your readers through the daily
papers. Do not understand me as
disposed to censure these honorable
bodies, for leaving their business as
public officials, and enjoying the hos.

statement that the French government
never received the dispatch from Sec
rotary Seward dated November ODD,
addressed to Minister Bigelow, and
published in the official correspon-
dence recently sent by the President

The reply of Napoleon to Secretary
Stewards dispatch above referred to,
was received by the Government on
the 5th inst, which assured the Gov
eminent Of the good faith of the En-
peror In this dispatch Napoleon spe-
cited the time when the French army
would be removed from Mexico, and
expressed his satisfaction at the Sher-
man Campbell mission, and proposed
to cooperate in establishing the resto-
ration Of the Republican Government,
but he thinks it will devolve upon the

ment thus created. The Emperor al

BD~ Ninety millions of whskey were
made in the United States in 1860, ac-
cording to the census, while the last
report of the Revenue Commissioners
returned but ten millions. This en-
ormous deficiency is not to be accoun-
ted for by any decrease in either de-
mand or supply, but solely by the fact
that the tax on whiskey is now two
dollars a gallon, and that there is
about one gallon taxed for every ten
smuggled. 1t is believed the govern
ment has been cheated out of a hun
dred millions of dollars since the tax
was laid on whiskey.

Gen. Sherman on Mexican Affairs.

A New Orleans correspondent OF
the New York Ti7Jame writing with
regard to the mission Of Gen. Sher-
man to Mexico and its results, speaks
rs follows:
Immediately after the withdrawal
of the French troops, which Will I'M
questionably take place before the
31st of March next, Juarez Will trans
fer his seat of government TO point
which l am not at liberty to name at
present. That point says Louten-
ant General Sherman to me, l, as a
military man, consider well chosen. -
Their entire plans base been laid be-
fore me, and | consider them upon the
whole, judicious and prudent. Then,
in the event of any fragment OF I'M
perial power remaining, United States
troops, as your correspondent has
strong grounds for believing, will be
marched over the Rio Grande to the
support of Juarez, and Minister Camp
bell will return to the Mexican seat OF
government to resume his official re-
lations with the Republic of Mexico.
This much being accomplished,
asked of Sherman, Do you consider
your mission failure or n success p
