The New York Herald.

The New York HerotI, with the
beginning of the new year, gives q
fattering account Of its history and
character It claims to have out
stripped, IN it's liberal enterprise, ali
its competitors, and thereby to have
earned for itself not only an entire
success, but worldwide reputation.
Whenever American vessels approach
foreign ports, whether it be the civil
lied cities Of Europe, the most dis
tant islets of the Pacific. the shores cf
India, the harbors Of Japan, or the
coasts of Africa, the inhabitants eager
ly sail or swim out to sea, to board
the vessel and obtain the latest num-
ber of the New York Herald The
King of Dahomey is regular sub
scriber, and sometimes takes up the
pen as n correspondent. The Herald
announces that ''even the CONNER
cial, financial and political action of
foreign statesmen takes it shape from
it's contents and opinions. Under
these circumstances, it is gratifying
to know that the Herald has not ''been
unmindful of it's responsibilities. It
has used its gigantic power for the
benefit of the species, and endeavored
to increase the general happiness Of
this planet and its reputation and in
fiuence in the solar system. When
its laudable ambition in this respect
is crowned with complete success,
the Herald will look around for other
worlds to conquer, and prepare to
supply copies of its mammoth sheet,
containing Intelligence from all parts
of the globe, to the most remote stars
of the firnanent What pity that
the Heroldis not published in Jupiter?
This contracted little orb is con-
temptibly small for operations of such
magnitude.
The public will be proud and happy
to learn from the Herald that, whilst
other presses have too commonly
arrayed themselves under party ban
ners, the Heruld is the shop for prin-
cip!e. cit has studied impartiality,
candor, justice and truth. It has
often tempered the popular feeling
with discreet discussion, or stayed
the hand of violence with word, or
calmed down a useless discussion with
an opinion, and yet always stood up
fearlessly for what was right" II
this does not establish the HeralGs
claim 10 having the news before any
body else, we do not know what can.
1t is altogether too great and good an
institution for this world Its merits
are only equalled by its modesty.

Stoncyvoll jackson.

1t is stated that The family of Gene
raj Jackson are in destitute circum-
stances. An item from one of our
Northern exchanges is Us follows:
An appeal is made to the people OF
the North, through the columns OF
the New York News, for contributions
for the benefit Of the widow and chilu
of Stonewal1 Jackson, who are said to
be living upon all income of one hun
dred and fifty dollars per year, de-
rived from their only property, a
small house i'll Lexington, which the
widow has not the means to occupy
herself, aud which, it is feared. will
itself have to be sold to meet demands
she cannot avert Contributions, it
is added, may be sent to the care OF
Rev. Dir. Ho: of Richmond.
In this connection we take the fol
lowing from ulc Mobile I?-hh,nar:
PRINTERS FOREVER We dropped
in our press and composition rooms,
and let our boys know that the widow
and child of the great and good Stone
wall jackson were destitute, when the
boys, every one of whom represents
a battlefield, unanimously decided
that lone days work should be set
aside for the widow and orphan child
OF that great American" Result,
one hundred and ten dollars placed in
the hands of committee.
Surely the city Of Columbia can do
something in this good work. Many
of her sons knew old Stonewall well,
and we are sure there are hundreds
here who will contribute their mite TO
the relief OF his suffering family.
Who will take it in hand ?

\ WONDERFUL 1NvENTIoN.-Our
citizens will have an opportunity to-
day OF viewing one of the most Won
derful instruments which has been
produced in this age of invention. 1t
is called ali nl!oscope, or, literally, Il
storm-viewer. Its object is to save,
to II great extent, the loss OF life and
property caused by shipwreck
An obscure individual in our city,
after twenty-one years of study and
labor, has brought out an instrument
which supplies at onco tho only want
IN the plan to prevent shipwreck and
disaster at sea; an instrument which,
under any and all circumstances, will
indicate, with unerring certainty, the
approach of storm several days in
advance of its appearance
The alloscOpe, us it is called, is
constructed upon plan entirely new
in barometric philosophy. The mer-
curry performs IL secondary part, and
is not visible. The principle upon
which this delicate Indicator is con-
structed is that of atmospheric dis
placement.
The great storm of the 1st and 2d
of January, 1864, was predicted here
by this instrument eight days before
1t made It's appearance and while yet
beyond the Rocky Mountains. This
storm extended from Canada to the
Gulf of Mexico.
The storm which swept over Chica;'r
and produced such disastrous results
on the 9th of July last was indicated
here by this instrument Oh the 20th
Of June. There has not been storm
since the instrument was set up but
it has unerringly predicted.

aIcxica,. Anai,s.

The prosecution of railroad from
Mexico to the Pacific, and from Vera
Cruz to Mexico, is an event of great
practical Importance to the Western
European Powers. The first of these
Improvements is said to be in the
hands of French, and the second,
of an English company. 1t is pre-
dicted that this route to the Pacific
will prove q successful rival to our
own contemplated highway to that
ocean. However that may be, such
an enterprise is congenial to the spirit
and policy OF Napoleon, who seems
more ambitious of the victories Of
peace than Of war, and who has for
many years labored to render the
Western hemisphere tributary to
French commerce.
Mexico, as q highway 10 the Pacific,
would be of practical value to France;
and as Napoleon is a practical man,
his interference in Mexican affairs has
probably moro reference to French
commerce than to the "Latin race, -
or even an extension Of French
political influence If order and
stability can be maintained in the
country by Maximilian, or anybody
else, SO as to enable France to have
reliable route to the Pacific, the
Emperor of the French would no
doubt be willing to withdraw his
troops But it would be essential to
that end that the nationality Of
Mexico should not be absorbed by
any other power. There may be
some foundation for the current
rumor that France is willing to with
draw its troops from the new empire
upon L guarantee from this country
that the United States will not take
sides with the partizans of Jaarez
against Maximilian.

COLUMBIA.
Saturday Morning, Jan. Is, 1855
Secretary Seward.


As has been already announced,
Secretary Seward has gone upon 4
to,,r. or rather cruise, for the benefit
of his health.
The New York Ns;es says that, in
the good old days of Republican sim
plicity, the officers of Government
we're transported over the public
highways, and went abroad at their
own cost. Now, it has become neces-
sary, whenever they leave the Capital,
whether on private or public business,
or in search of health or pleasure,
that they should be transported by
special cars, elegantly furnished, or in
Government vessels, and all their ex-
penses paid. Does the Governor of
Il State desire to visit the Havana for
the benefit of his health, forthwith q
revenue cutter is ordered round to
Philadelphia, and the provincial sa-
trap and suit are conveyed, at the
cost of the Federal Government, to
the West Indies, and all the expenses
Of extras, even to the wine and sogars,
borne out of the funds in the public
Treasury. The Secretary of State is
ordered by his anxious physicians to
the same locality, and national YES
sci is forthwith ordered round to re-
ceive himself and family for Il months S
cruise in the waters of the Gulf of
Mexico, visiting the Havana, Vera
Cruz, etc. All the junketings in
foreign ports, the dinners, the excur-
sions, and the balls that are to be
given in return for foreign hospitality,
will, doubtless, be paid for out Of
that mysterious heap OF treasure
known as "the secret service fund, )"
that, during the war, has swelled to
the amount Of several millions.
Now, at all times, we should pro-
test againstsuch glaring Inconsistency
and folly in a republic like ours but
more especially at the present time,
when our necessities demand the
practice of the strictest economy.
These officials all receive liberal s;.la-
ries, which are continued to them pre-
sent or absent, and there is no reason
for this shameful extravaganza. \
country grooming under the pressure
OF war debt of thousands of mil
lions, with taxation grinding its peo-
pie to the earth, and the enhanced
price of provisions bringing starva-
tion and want in many cottage, will
''-resa a.isaSasaa ahnnit in silence to such an
exhibition Of wicked and senseless
extravaganza. The money cxpe- ded
in these official junketings would
bring Joy and gladness to the faces OF
the widows and orphans of many Il
poor soldier, whose untimely death
on the battlefield has left his home
. desolate.

1aE OIiUATION. -Cur able CO.
temporary of the French side of the
New Orleans Bee thus concludes Il
review of the events of the year 1865:
"The close of the year 1865 has
been striking. The Southern States,
responding to the appeal of the Pro
visional Governors appointed by the
President, hasten to appoint Conven-
tons or Legislatures, and to elect
civil fnnctionaries. In the assemblies
elected, the constitutional amend
ment legally oblishing slavery (al-
ready abolished, i'll fact) is adopted,
and the recommendations of the
President are followed Representa-
tlves and Senators proceed to Wash
lngton to take their seats in the Con
gress of the United States. and it
would seem that this formality ac-
complished, nothing would remain
except to leave the governmental
machine to work according to its
normal laws. But there is q party
which was the cause of the war,
which grew with it, and which hopes
to absorb everything and to govern
everything. This party desires
neither peace, nor reconstruction,
nor reconciliation. Itshuts the door
OF Congress against the delegates
from the South, and it declares upon
opposition to the plans of the Presi-
dent for reconstruction.
The struggle is begun at this
point, and the year 1866 opens 1T the
same time with the parIiame ntary
campaign, in which is to be decided
the fate of the Southern States, an |,
perhaps, that of Republican Govern
msnt in the United States.''
Two SwINDLERsA AT LARGE. -Messrs.
B. +. Sage and G. D. Eaton, con-
tractors with the Cleveland and To-
ledo Company for the new railroad
line from Elyria to Oberlin, absconded
on the 18th instant with $4,000, the
greater part of which they had re-
ceived that day from the company to
pay off the laborers under their charge.
On investigation, it was found that
the wives of the contractors had left
a day or two previous for New York,
and the whole transaction assumed
the form of well-considered swim
die. There were due the laborers the
wages for six weeks work, and it is
estimated that two thousand people
suffer in consequence. The total
amount of Indebtedness of the abb
sconding parties was about $2o,00O&
They were natives of the South, a4
it is thought they had gone to GeoI'
gia.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS. BY statistics
which we Published yesterday, we
learn that the number of railroad ac-
cidents in this country during the
past year was one hundred and eighty
three, against one hundred and forty
the year previous. The fatality, how
ever, was in favor of 1865, the num-
Der of lives lost during that year
being three hundred and four in 1864.
We here find some reason for con-
graduating the public. Although the
number of accidents the past year
was above that of the previous year,
it seems that the fatality was consi-
derably less. We dc not know to
what cause this may be attributed,
other than that railroad companies
are becoming more careful about the
lives of passengers consideration,
no doubt, superinduced by the
amount of pecuniary damages they
may be mulcted in.-NeW York

absolutely essential to the nainte-
