The President, on takin? the h air - said the obiect of the Convention place before their- representatives in Con gress the inefficiency ot the present tax op spirits. He would recommend a very deci ded change in the law, so as to exclude any inducement to fraud.

But allow them to report every move- ment made, and defeat is certain." . Little doubt is entertained that their defeat will be certain, and that their defeat will be a vic tory to the country. Congress and its com mittees are thoroughly in earnest in purg ing the nation of the disgraceful abuses of the present Executive government in the ad-, miniscrauon or me revenue laws, i, uey un derstand where the !fault, lies.

As the music took p J much time,: the clergyman announced that he had not time left to preach his sermon in full, butihe would have it printed." ; , tzi The regular opera is beginning to feel the effect of this church rivalry.

Observer. The Destruction of Forests. It ia stated by scientific men that, owing to the destruction of the redwood forests ot Cali fornia, crops this year .have been almost a failure in the coast range, and from other parts of the country similar disastrous effects from the absence of forests are reported.1 The. vv I'sieru prairies are rapiaiy. cnanging trom wet to dry, and the climate: from one of great evenness to one of suddenly j alternat ing extremes. The t few forests that fringe the water-courses have been rapidly thinned but. Evaporation, that in old times was gradual and constant, now goes on rapidly, ... o l. .1. 3' 1 M ' L auu, aa a wuBcqucute,;wuuie UlStriCtS WHere water was tormeny abundant now suffer Jfor I want of it. Springs and streams, once valu able for the water power they afforded, have dried up, and the onceTertile fields are be coming barren. : Alarm is felt in NewJBrun swick and the Canadas also at, the extensive use)of forests there for lumbering. In France the government has recognized the necessity of the existence of forests in order to prevent inundations, aand a law has been" passed which appropriates 10,000,000 francs to be expended at the Tate of 1,000,000 francs per year in replanting woods and aiding . that work. ; Two hundred and fifty thousand acres of new forest are- expected to be the result of the appropriation. It would cer tainly seem to be incumbent upon the Ameri can Congress to take some .action .? which wenld tend to correct this growing evil or rather cutting down evil. Especially should iuc piouuug ui trees uu me western plains be promoted. : . ! Trick of Garrics! When Garrick was in Paris, Preville, the celebrated French ac tor, invited him 4 to his villa, and, being in a gay buinor, he proposed : to go in one of the hired .coaches that regularly plied bet ween Paris - and Versailles, ; on which road Preville's villa was stituated. When they got in, Garrick. ordered the 'coachman to drive on ; but the driver answered that he would as soon he got his complement of four passengers. A caprice immediately seized Gariick. He determined to give his brother player a specimime ot his art, : VY hue the corchman was attentlyely looking out ror passengers Garrick slipped out at the door, Went roun the coach, and by his wondertul comman ot countenance palmed himself upon th coachman a3 a stranger.

The journal adduces in proof of the correct ness cf its views the unalterable refusal of the Cabinet of Vienna, in its note of the 5th, to joii in the collective declaration.. Had that declaration possessed the sense k and bearing, the documents published in the yel low pook will lead public opinion to believe Bariu Von Buest would have signed it with out Hesitation. - ' The Sleeping Car Palaee. uite a number of ladies and gentlemen terday visited the I 'Florida.n the sleep- ing car of Messrs.

The taste displayed in every particular is not susceptible of any improvement . 5 U ; The "Florida" was built at the works of Gilbert Bash & Co., Troy, New York, at a cost of some twenty thousand dollars, and is to be run on the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad from Savannah to; Jacksonville.
