The negro revolutionist Shorter, sent south by northern Radicals, has been sent to jail for six months for trying to organize a negro gov-, eminent in Bullock county, Georgia. Mayor Morton, of Mobile, one of Gen. Pope's appointees, has just been found guilty and sentenced to pay a fine of 82.000, for violation of the civil rights bill, in banishing a negro from the city of Mobile. It is now stated that Stanton would have resigned as soon as he discovered diflerences arising between him and the President, but for the pressure of Radical Senators and Representatives to remain, for the good of the party. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue opposes the reduction of the tax on whiskey, and says any tax high or low can be collected. One Smithson has sued Secretary Stanton for false imprisonment. Stanton has retained for his counsel Attorney General Stanberry, Jas. T. Brady and Judge Pierpont. The case has been postponed for the present. Seven ocean steamers were libeled in New York, last week for violation of the passenger act, in the improper construction of berths.”

The grain elevator of the Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana Railroad Co., at Toledo, was destroyed Dec. 21st, consuming 80,000 bushels of grain. The loss will reach §300,000.

Hamilton, member , of Congress from the Sth district, Ohio, was killed by his son Thom- : as, insane, who struck him from behind with an ax, killing him instantly. He afterwards tried to kill his brother, but only succeeded in inflicting a slight wound. Great alarm is felt in several counties of North Carolina, consequent upon outrages committed by negroes on unoffending whites. On and after the first day of January, the Adams, American, United States, and Merchant’s Union Express companies are to be consolidated, The tariff in operation previous to the organization of the Merchants Union will be adopted. It is reported that Gen. Pope is to be removed from the command of the Fourth Military District, and General Meade assigned to the position. The Alabama Constitutional Convention passed an ordinance exempting from seizure for debt §I,OOO worth of personal property, and a homestead of eighty acres of land cf each head of a family. A Washington telegram says the Russian purchase threatens to cost the United states, in addition to i the §3,000,000, the loss of about four companies of United States troops. Dispatches have been received at the war office within the last few days that the soldiers sent there to take possession are in a most destitute condition, and that no preparations had been made for their reception, and that the prospect is that they will be frozen to death or maimed for life before supplies can reach them. Gen. Grant, with the assent of the President, has suspended the order for the disbandment of the irregular military organizations of the District-of Columbia.— Gen. Grant in a communication to the Committee on Military affairs, did.not think it advisible to reduce the regular army. The constitutional convention' of Georgia, passed a temporary ordinance prohibitingTheTovy and sale of property on execution, whiehjias had the effect to, 'practically suspendjall business throughout the State.

On motion the Convention adjourned. D. STUDABAKER, Ch’n. W. G. Spencer, See’y. £2TMr. Seward’s purchase of j Cuba is attracting attention, as being to the point ou the question of retrenchment. The editor of the Jay and Adams Republican used to discuss the question under the ‘’Monroe doctrine,” and can tell from, memory how many, pounds of silver it would take, how., many wagons it would take to haul it, and how long the train would be. Give us the benefit of your arithmetic on the question, in your next, friend Jones. The greatest caution should be exercised in the use of preparations intended to promote the growth of the hair. A few applications of an improper substance to the delicate vessels from which the hair derives its nutriment, will cause irreparable injury, and entail premature baldness, upon the unhappyy victim of charlatanry, whose nostrums crowd the market. No such bad effect need be feared from the use of Hall’s Vegetable .-Sicilian Hair Renawer, manufflet ured in Nashua, N. H. This article is concocted upon scientific principles and with an intimate knowledge Os chemistry and philosophy as .applied to the growth preservastion and restoration of the human hair. When the hair has become grayy it will restore it to its natural color, and produce a fresh, vigorous and healthy growth, improved in texture, health and bea’ity. 1* people are wise, Hall’s Sicilian Hair Renewer will take the j place of the multitude of inferior j compositions now hawked about.

Another Call to Open Purse Strings—lmportant Order From General Ord Memphis, December 22. General Ord has passed the following order, dated at the headquarter of the Fourth Military Dis trict of Mississippi and Arkansas, Holly Springs, Mississippi, December 19, 1867: Special Order No. 208— Extract. Brevet Major General Adam C. Gillem, Colonel of. jhe Twentyfourth United States Infantry,. As sistant Commissioner of the bureau of refugees,' freedmen and #i bandoned lands for the State of Mississippi, will proceed, to Washington, District of Columbia, and represent to the President and Secretary of War the starving condition of the freedmen in a large number of the counties in his sub district, due to the ruin and bankruptcy of planters, and the .absence of corn, or the means to buy it, He will report tlie necessity of some provisions being made by the Government, to feed the armed freedmen, and arrest the war of races in such sections, as all are without food. General Gillem will take with him such rei ports and letters as are on file on this subject. By command of Brevet Major General Ord. [Signed] O. D. Green, Assistant Adjutant . General. He also, issued, on the ..17th instant, the following important order : . Commanding, officers are directed to notify the leading colored men, and take such other measures as may be necessary to give general publications to the fact that all freedmen who are able, will be required to earn their support during the coming year and to go to work upon the best terms that can be procured, even should it furnish a support only, and thus prevent their becoming a burden to the Government. All freedmen who can, but will QQt earn a livelihood when employment fan be procured, will lay ihemselves liable to arrest and punishment an vagrants. The co operation of sheriffs, constables, police and' magistrates is requested in the enforce men, of this order, and any just action of theirs under its provisions will be sustained by the military authorities. The case of Stanton practically has ended. Several Senators who hitherto were disposed to sustain him in his quarrel with the President, have turned against him since the President's c.r.pow of his duplicity. The exSecretary has fallen so low none will do him reverence.

PROSPECTUS FOR THE I ADI AAA HERALD •For 1868. Jr The importance of the political canyajAfor thgvoming cannot be over estimated. The issues which the elections of PB6B • will decide, will, to s great extent ’ determine’ the character of the Government, and its destiny for the future- The question now presented to the people is, whether the old Government, as claimed by the men of the revolution, shall be restored, or whether a new Government, ignoring State rights and obliterating State lines, when an overshadowing centralized powor usurping the control and direction of the domestic policy and institutions of the States, shall succeed it. The Herald will continue to maintain and defend old-fash-ioned Democratic doctrines. It will sustain, as heretofore. The supremacy of the white race. - . Equal taxation, not exempting any, description of property from its equal and just contribution, for the support of the Government, general State, county juid municipal. The immediate restoration of the late rebel States to the former relations of the general Government “with all the dignity, equal ity and rights unimpared.” The constitutional rights of the several States to determine the qualifications of voters. The reduction of the expenditures to the lowest limits consistent with the public safety to diminish the burdens of the people. All will admit the necessity of enlightening the public mind upon the great issues which the people will be called upon to determine, and that no agency is more potent to that end than the press. The newspaper-presenting itself daily and weekly, has a powerful influence in moulding public sentiments. It becomes, therefore, the patriotic duty of all who entertain the belief that the only hope of maintaining a free, a true and an economical Government is in the supremacy of Democratic principles and politics, to see that papers advocating those doctrines and measures have a general circulation. As an inducement for the friends of the Herald to assist in extending its circulation, the proprieters offer the valuable premium list, over 83,000, to those who shall procure the largest list of subscribers, as follows: To the person who will send us the largest number of new yearly subscribers previous to the first day of Febuary, 1868, we will give a laid up life policy of 81,000.

Ofthe Virginia to bacco business the Lynchburg News says that the amounts of tobacco at present in the warehouses in that city are very large, and that it has never known so much tobacco put upon the market at this season, and it is occasioning great loss to the planters, the prices obtained now, it thinks, being, far less than would be obtained next spring, when the factories will be at work. Thereason assigned by planters for thus early disposing of the crops is the impossibility of keeping them on account of the rogues who infest the country in every direction,, and from whose nightly depredations no species of property is safe.
