strongly recommends an Investigation by
the Prison Association.

Especial dispatches to the hquirer.I
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2, 1866.
The Message and Accompanying Docu-
mnnst

The Presidents Message will refer to the
restoration ofthe Southern States at length
His point will be that Congress should
admit Southern Representatives to seats
in the councils of the nation
He considers that ten States remain
without representation and looks upon
this as injustice, while if they were ad-
mitted their appearance in Congress would
tend to strengthen the Union. He is not
Of the opinion that disloyal men would be
allowed seats at the Capitol. while the
Senate and House are judges of the rights
of persons applyin for admission.
Secretary McCulloch's report will prove
of interest to the nation. Ii is prepared
with great care, and the Secretary ex-
presses his views in reference to our cur
rency and the revenue system in man
ner which will attract the attention of
Congress. The con 1ition Of the National
debt is represented as satisfactory, its
diminution for the past year and half
being over 5000, 900.
The receipts of the fiscal year ending
June 80, are understood to have reached
the sum of S55S, 100000, while the ex-
penditures were but S520,000,000. Re-
duction Of taxation is recommended.
Secretary Stanton's report gives valu-
able information respecting the operations
of the War Department during the past
year. 1t will be concise, but will en-
brace vast amount Of information, such
as will show that we are ready for any
emergency.
Secretary Welles will make an exhibit
of near three hundred men of-war, sup
piled with the best guns known. He al
so will indorse League Island as su.ta-
BILE site for an iron-ciad navy yard.
Postmaster G General Randall and Sc
cretary Browning of the Interior, have
their reports made out and in type. They
will be perused with much interest, more
especially that of the Interior Department.

Burning of Artillery Horses---Destruction
of Old-tlme Caissons.

Harrisburg, Dec. "A warehouse
at the corner of Canal and State streets
caught fire at about half-past one o'clock
this morning and burned to the ground.
Among the property injured and destroy
ed were twenty-five pieces of artillery, be-
longing to the State, mostly old brass six
Founders, for school practice and drilling.
The carriages were of course burned,
but most of the iron was saved. The
pieces can be remounted for about two
hundred and fifty dollars apiece, SO that
the total loss to the State will not oxceed
FIVE or six thousand dollars None of the
late improved armory is lost, the pieces
burned having been stored in the ware
house from a want Of room in the State
Arsenal. The building was owned by
Mrs. Curtis, but had been leased by the
State. The fire was undoubtedly the
work Of an incendiary.

of their example, their wisdom. and their
pataiotism. Drawing fresh inspiration
from their lessons, let US emulate them
IN II love of country and respect for the
Constitution and the laws
He next reviews the reports Of the sew
eral Heads of Departments.
The President then proceeds to dis
cuss our foreign affairs. He says that
with Great Britain the progress toward
an adjustment of the Alabama claims has
been slow, owing in some degree to
change in the British Ministry, but mat
ters in that regard look favorable.
He states that France has not complied
with her agreement to take her troops out
of Mexico, but has intimated a postpon-
ment till spring. This government has
demonstrated, but the President says no
reply has been received from the Empe-
ror as to what he will do, bat a satisfac-
tory adjustment is hoped for. General
Sherman has merely gone to Mexico in
an advisory capacity to Campbell.
The Message is silent on the questions
of a Mexican profectorate and treaty, &C.,
and makes no allusion to Maximilian
whatever.
In concluding the Message the Presi-
dent says:
The interests Of the nation are best
promoted by the revival of fraternal rela-
tions, the complete tSbliteration of our
differences, and the Inauguration of all
the pursuits of peace. Directing our ef-
forts to the early accomplishment Of these
great ends, let US endeavor 10 preserve.

ments of the government, that each in its
proper sphere may cordially cooperate
with the other in securing the mainte-
nance of the Constitution the preservation
of the Union, and the perpetuity of free
institutions"

end deeper interest is given to his share
In the conspiracy by his frequent journeys
to Richmond. Upon Surratt's presumed
connection with the Rebel Government,
Andrew johnson charged Jefferson Davis
with completely in the assassination. New
revelations are expected from his trial !;
the public may be disappointed in that,
yet if John Surratt could be induced to
confess, before the death which is almost
certain to be his fate, there is no reason
able doubt but that he might tell the
whole story Of Lincoln's assassination
from the beginning to the end.

How Young Persons are Caught.

A friend OF the writer had a young
man in his Office that was very fond of do
ing just what other persons did, without
thinking of the difference in age and cir
cumstances between himself and the men
went into his barber's shop to be shaved,
just as his clerk was coming out Of the
same place. The barber did not know
that the merchant was acquainted with
this boy, so he said to him, "Did you no.
tice that lad that went out as you came
in 2" "Oh yes" said the merchant
"Well," remarked the barber, that boy
has his shaving-pot and razor here, and
he comes in every day to be shaved, al
though he has not hair upon his facet"
He wanted to do as others did, no matter
what it cost him, or how silly he appear
ed and this and other things came very
proving the boys ruin.
Now, boys will make themselves sick
learning to smoke or chew tobacco they
will bring upon themselves most expen-
sive babit, and one that may seriously, if
not fatally injure that health, in order to
do as others do. Phis is the way the
monkeys were caught!
Many fall into the habit of fSabbath break
ing, because they see others seeming to
take pleasure in such a course, and with
out thinking of the sad consequences that
may follow if they do as others do.
This is the way the young man falls
into the temptation of drinking The
company around him sip the wine. He
breads to be singular, although to stand
alone is often to stand with God Appa-
rently very respectable people drink wine.
The evil consequences do not appear at
once. They must do as other people do,
SO they begin to draw on the dreadful
boots
How much misery follows in the train
when one seeks to do as other persons do.
The young man has made the acquain-
tance of gay young fellows of his own age.
Their parents are rich, and he is hattered
by their notice. He is invited to their
houses and is offered wine at their tables
He must do, he thinks, as other people
do. The lads take him to the billiard
room, and of course he must play with
them. They then give him a treat of
oysters and wine before he leaves for his
home.
Now he must do as they do. In his
turn he must order them fine supper at
some noted restaurant. This continues
month after month. He, by and by, comes
home to his Christian mother, late at
night, so excited BY liquor that he is al
most beside himself. o, the agony of that
home But this is only the beginning.
He has drawn the boots on, but how shall
he remove them ! His parents are neither
able nor willing to supply him with money
to be expended for such purposes. But
he is so involved in the round of dissi pa
tion upon which he has entered that he
cannot tear himself away from it. AS he
cannot obtain money honestly, he now falls
into the temptation of taking it dishonest
ly. Ruin does not wait long for him then.
He is discovered; he is arrested, and
some place of restraint or punishment
closes its door upon him. This is the his
tory of many brigha boys that have, and
are still, in House of Refuge.
Never follow another unless you know
he is in the right path and never fear to
stand up alone for the right.

Exports and Imports.

Among the new institutions of this
country, under the charge of the Govern
ment, may be mentioned the Statistical
Bureau, recently organized at Washing
ton, which has just made its report of
transactions for the last four mouths
This statement does not show very graft
fying condition of affairs for the country.
1t sums up the value of the imports dur
ing that time at S127 ,557 ,6l9, while the
exports are but So, ,625, COS. 1t would
therefore seem that in that period we have
gone in debt to Europe nearly SIS 5,000,-
900, and, indeed, much more, for the i'm
ports are placed at gold value and the ex-
worts in currency. Averaging the rate
of gold during those months at l4o, the
value of the imports will be Sl97 ,65S,-
5l6,65-considerably more than double
the value of our exports. But among the
imports are S1O,S2S,9S5 in gold, which
may be in payment Of Indebtedness to thus
country and will thereby reduce the bal
ance. The figures, however, with all al
lowances, lock very ugly, and they prove
that. with all our necessity of prudence
and frugality, we are not doing our duty
to ourselves in the premises.
