We shall not undertake to prepare this year a general list of those who will receive on New Year's day. We have come tothis conclusion Decause of the fact that in an effort to do so it is impossible to avoid omitting the names of some pereons who might regard such an over- sight as a slight, as well as to avoid the insertion of those of others who do not desire such pub- leity, even though they will be glad to see their friends on that occasion. We will, therefore, print in Tuesday’s paper, for the benefitof those interested, a list of such names only as may be furnished by the parties themselves or their friends, so that the matter may rest on @ proper footing. These announcements, which we will be very glad to receive and publish in brie form, should give the names of the ladies who will assist in each case, and the number of the residence, and they shouid be accompained also by @ responsible signature as a guarantee of authenticity. They may be sent in at any time hereafter, but must bein hand before eleven o’clock Tuesday morning to seeare insertion that day. INTERNAL ReveNveE.—The receipts from this source to-day were p21.

In the southern parts and in the low valleys of the Gulf states it was rain; in the northern highlands of those states, inclading the elevated range of sand hills on which Columbia, 5.

The Dake brings documentary evidence to support the truth of his assertion that Austria promised to assist France in case of war with Prussia. H publishes an Austrian dispatch to the Frenci government in which the pledge is given in the following words: * Your cause is ours.

The local press, thus robbed of the advertising and cut out of the news fea- tare of the dally newspaper, is thrown back upon its editorials. Here it’ is confronted by long-established rivals in ali the larger cities and towns, in whose columns national topics aze discussed at least as ably as they are dis- cussed st Washington. There has never, indeed, been a time when the New York papers, which reach the capital in the atternoon, did not com: mand their proportioned ascendancy in news, opinions, and prestige.

The plan is pushed torward under the auspices of the Lake Ontario Shore railroad, now being constracted from Oswego to Lewiston. The object is to bring the Onta- rio Shore road into connection with the Ca- nadian system, and ultimately to form a north. ern line irom the seaboard to the great west. ACCIDENT ON THE B. & O.

It bad never any real en- couragement to come into the world or to re- main init. It secured no cireulation or patron- age. The one chance which eked out its feeble existence was a change of administrations, by which it looked to derive subterraneous profit: and ill-goi political sabsidy. It died because, in the begipning, it had no call to be born. [ died because, confronted by the obstacles we have named, it addcd to them by its intrinsic natural and fully-developed imbecility.
