RECEPTION, We are authorized to announce that there will be a reception at the White House next Tuesday evening, between the hours of half- past seven and ten o'clock. It is not certain that the President will be present. James Moore, who plead guilty to a charge of petty larceny, was sentenced to one year in the Albany penitentiary. Elizabeth Boose, convicted. of larceny, was sentenced to one year in the Albawy peniten- tiary. James P. Buck, indicted for larceny, was convicted and sentenced to one year in the Albany penitentiary. Henry Jackson was fonnd guilty of larceny, and sentenced to one year in the Alyany peni- tentiary.

Butler was found not guilty. Miller for defense. CHARGE OF ABSTRACTING Bonps.—Anthony Shober, who was committed to jail a day or two since on the charge of abstracting bonds from the Treasury, was arrested by order of U.S. Commissioner Joy, of Michigan, at Bat- Ue Creek, in that State. The charge is abstrac- ting on or about the 10th of November, +64, from the Treasury Department, where they had been sent for redemption, of thirty U.S. 5-20 Coupon bonds, for $1,000 each, with the cou- pons attached. These bonds were missed, and Suspicion fell on the accused, but as proof could not be bad, a watch was kept on him Some time after he resigned his clerkship, and on leaving the city he was followed—by one of the clerks, who endeavored to get a clue to warrant his arrest—to Michigan. Some time last fall some of the same bonds were sent by a broker of Detroit to the Department for re- demption, and inquiries were at once made as to the party from whom the broker obtained them, and the clerk who followed him again took the matter in hand, and ascertaining that Sbober had sold them, enused bis arrest. He had a hearing before Commissioner Joy, who ordered him to Washington, when, it is pre- sumed, he will at once be indicted. latter for inadequate compensation by unjast contracts; and the freedmen themselves, are tractable, respectful. and law-abiding, evinc- ing a decided disposition to enter into reason- able contracts and carry out the same in good faith. A man named Nicholas Wyley, of Washing- ton, Wilkes Co., Ga., was tried before a military commission and fined $250 for whipping a gro woman, and since the trial the woman’s husband has brought a suit against Wyley tor damages. Communications have been received also from General Wager Swayne, Commissioner from Alabama, from which we learn that the same general improvement isto be fourd in that district. The average of payment made to freedmen, on contracts is, besides food, quar- ters, and medical attendance for the entire family, ten ee month formen and eight for women. The demand for labor still ex- ceeds the supply, and freedmen show a marked preterence for hiring with Northern men, of whom there are about five thousand in the State. These planters who ill treated the freedmen last year, find it almost impossible to secure labor during this, and some have been compelled to abandon their farms in conse- quence. DISASTER AT SEA. From the despatches of the United States Consul at Antwerp, received at the State De- partment, dated Dec. 26, 1865, we gather the following :-—On the 12th inst., the master, J. B.
