derry on the 18th, has arrived.

The steamship, Worcester, from Baltimore,

She encountered a terrible gale in the chan

The Times and other journals assert that

NORFOLK AND COTTON.

1t is a well-known fact to manufacturers, if
not to newspaper men, that transportation en-
tiers largely into the cost of production it is
also well established that railroad transporta-
ton cannot successfully compete with water
routes, and that the latter are undoubtedly
the cheapest.
These are facts, self-evident facts, and re-
quire no argument to prove them.
We, therefore, merely state that Norfolk is
in direct water communication with all the
cotton growing counties of North Carolina.
We also take occasion to mention the we'll
known fact, that Petersburg has railroad
communication with portion of the cotton
growing counties Of the section mentioned.
These are general facts which we desire to
impress upon the minds of all, for we feel as
sured that when the reader knows them, he
will see at once that cotton from North Caro-
lima can come to Norfolk cheaper than it can
go to Petersburg; aye, it can come to Norfolk
and be shipped up the river to Petersburg,
cheaper than it can go over the railroads d.
rect to that point
This cheap water communication will always
enable us to undersell the Petersburg factor
indeed, will enable us to supply the nanufac-
turer in Petersburg cheaper than he can buy
at home, and still enable the factor in Norfolk
to make better returns than the Petersburg
merchant can, owing to the difference in the
cost of transportation.
Nor do these truths apply to the transport
taton of cotton alone They hold good in
regard to the varied productions of Eastern
North Carolina, and all we have said of cotton
can, with truth, be appropriately applied to
corn, peas, slaves, tar, turpentine, &c.
We trust our merchants will take. care to
make these facts known throughout Eastern
North Carolina; for we hope to see that fertile
region, at an early day, surpass the point Of
production in cotton, at which it had arrived
before the war. .y-

Congressional.
Washington, Jan. 25.-The Senate passed
the bill charging the power of the Freedmen's
Bureau.
In the House. a resolution was adopted in
structing the Cor mittee on the District OF
Columbia to report bill excluding from the
right of suffrage in the District, all who have
voluntarily borne arms against the United
States, in the naval, military, or civil service
of the late Confederacy.
The House resumed the consideration Of the
Constitutional basis of representation amend
ment During the debate, Bingham, who is a
member of the Reconstruction Committee,
said that the Committee had under considers
ton another amendment to the Constitution,
protecting the rights of all persons, black or
white, which rights had not heretofore been
conferred, owing to want of power in Con-
gress. lg
Mr.. Eldridge, of Wisconsin, in opposing the
measure, asserted that the rebellion having
been suppressed, the Southern States were re-
stored to their rights under the Constitution
Justice, harmony and union ought to be main
tanned, and nothing done in spirit of furious
fanaticism.
Mr.. Straus, of Pennsylvania, and Nichols
of Delaware, favored the admission of the
Southern Representatives to participate in the
debate of the measures which so much con-
cerned their interests.
Mr.. Ward, of New Jersey, like other Re-
publicans, said he would do nothing that
would give the South an opportunity to ex-
clude the blacks from voting.

PETROLEUM STOVES.

Our exchanges come to US with many
%, aises of the Petroleum Stove
The present high price of wood, forces us
to look around and see if we cannot do better,
in the way of fuel.
If all is true that is claimed for this stove,
the sooner each housekeeper secures one, the
better for the home finances of all of us.
Speaking of this stove, a. Petersburg paper
says:
eve inspected, on yesterday, at the store
of Messrs. French & Crenshaw a new inven-
ton, which, in these pinching times, promises
to become one of the most popular of the age,
We allude to a petroleum stove, which cooks
quickly and regularly anything entrusted to
its care. The heat can be graduated to any
desired temperature, and retained at that
point without the trouble of putting on wood
or coal. There are no cinders, SCOT, nor dust,
and lady may prepare breakfast in her par
lor without soiling her fingers Petroleum is
the heating agent, and the Baltimore Tran
script claims that three meals day for a
family of three persons may be prepared at
cost of 81 cents day, saving which all
housekeepers in these days of high fuel can
appreciate.
"The one on exhibition yesterday cooked in
frst-class style repast of which several in
vited guests partoOk, and which was washed
down by the proper Accomplishments.
"A beefsteak may be cooked in ten min

tality of the entertainers"

last year to investigate all matters relating to
the various taxes imposed by the internal rev.

They held many sessions in the New York
Custom House, where a large amount of testi-
mony was taken. During the progress of the
inquiry it was discovered that the internal
revenue act did not include many articles
which should be liable to taxation 1t was
found that other articles were over-taxed. Silk
might be quoted as an instance of the latter
In Its raw state, the import duty is go per

From Richmond.

Richmond, JAM 25.-The Senate PASSED a
bill to-day authorizing railroad connection be-
tween Winchester and Strasburg.
Several bills regulating the status of freed
men, comforting various rights and privileges
on colored people, also passed, A long report
was made from special committee against the
payment of claims for steamers seized by order
of Governor Letcher in April,..1s 1851, chiefly on
the ground that after the passage of the ordi-
nance of secession, all acts of the authorities at
Richmond were without authority and void

That our utter degradation is aimed at. will
be plainly seen from the following extract,
which we take from recent number of the
New York Express:
The "Re-constrution" Tor Destruction
Committee, it will be seen, have found a voice
IN congress, to-day, recommending consti-
tutlonal amendment, to apportion representa-
uon and direct taxes among the several States,
according to their respective numbers, count
ing the whole number of persons in each State,
excluding Indians not taxed, and providing
that whenever the elective franchise shall be
denied or abridged in any State, on account of
race or color, all persons of such race or color,
shall be excluded from the basis of represen-
tation." Mr.. Rogers, the Democratic mem
Der OF the Committee justly characterizes the
recommendation as scheme for degrading
the white man,-but it is scheme, neverthe
less, which, as like as not, the Destructives
will run through. The truth is, there is just
now a sort OF mania for Fetish Negro worship
among the radicals in Congress, which can
not well be reasoned down. 1t will have its
way, and perhaps the best plan to kill it off
is, to let the Fetish have full swing. Anon.

other object than the Negro for its alteration
