WHOLE NO. 8126. —— DEPARTURE OF GENERAL PAEZ. MilMary Display-Levee at the Astor Place Hotel—Salutes~He ts Carried on a Palan. quin to the Stamer, dc., &e., die. General Paes, the Venexzuekan patriot, quitted oor shores: yesterday for the Funny and more congenial climes of Venezu. As ¥ previously announced, the government handsomely pla at bis disposal the two steamers Cale- onia and Atiawa, of the Paraguay expedition, and the General, in acepting the compliment, not onty paid him iwdividualty, ut the people of Venezucla, thanked our government.n terms only knowa to the (reoman and pat riot. Notwithtanding the serious accident which befel tho follower £ Bolivar, he was ready and anxious for depar tare to bis native clime, and despite the ayouy which Must have attended his recent accklent, Genera Paez “as eager and anxious for the sound of the * horses’ trapp’”’ yesterday morning. Although suffering tere pain from an early hour, he communi eaed witb bis many friends, residents of this city, gad up to eleven o'clock en lewe held a matinée, cour- worely acknowledging the good wishes of his couatry men, and heartily thanking the representatives of this city, both civic and military, for the hospitality, kindness ‘and ottention paid him during his stay in New York, and for tue past few weeks of illness which he has passed threvgh. Although eutfering a good deal, the General mact his friends and our citizens with that cordiality and ocmplacency for which he is proverbial, and to the Ameri- ean extended -bis right hand, and, clasping it, he ex- elaimed, ‘Ah, Senor, my friend!’ Senor Rojas was also affected at th: enthusiasm of our citizen soldiers, who bave always por! pated and aided in the cause of lib- erty. He thaucod them in the Astor Place Hotel, on the tug steamer avd on board the Atianta, for the forvor of their kindness, and teare dropped from his eyes when he wit nessed the preparations which had been made for the Genera}. The Spanish bdlood—hot, fiery and entho siastic—knew no limit yesterday, and it paid a tribute to New York by the demeanor of the com- missioners and the General’s suite. Friends, family and the General were thankful—thankful in a manner enty known to the Venezuelan—‘excitable to tears, but yet courageous to death.” From an early hour visiters called at the Astor Place Hotel, among which were a body of officers of tho battalion Garde Lafayette, composed of Captains P. A. Gerdy, H. Goulet, L Lefebvre, and Lienten- ante J.T. Foun, A. Ferran, P. Pian, E. Ulmann and F. Rodriguez, who were introduced by the sou of the General, who received them in bis room, half seated on his bed. Lieutenant Rodriguez, a Cuban, addressed the General in Boglish thus. — bd General—Relying upon the generous friendship which you have always bestowed on me, I take the liberty of in- irodveing to your acquantance theee friends of mine, off- ‘cere of the Dattalion Garde Lafayette, wo which Lalo be- Jong, and they, on their parts, to pay you their respects before your deperture. They all know you by the histo- ry of your brilliant career, by your glorious deeds of arms, and by your unsurpassed civil virtues and military valor; but they desire something more—they wieh to be able to tell their grandchildren that the existence of heroes is not a mere invention of fable, neither exists ouly in the annals of history, but that they have had the pleasure of seeing, speaking and shaking hands with a living bero of the present age. I beg of you, General, to accept, with your natural kindnese this spontaneous and free tri- ‘pute of respect and just admiration due to your merits, offered to you, through me, by the officers of the Battalion Garde Lafayette, including myself; and wo hope that om your return to your native land you will meet @ hearty welcome and euch bappiness as your virtues deserve. Emanuel Paez (son of the General) then transiaved, in Spanish, to his father, the foregoing sentiments, when the General replied. He said that he would never forget the kind demonstration paid © him. When in his country and free from the painful wound which aillicted him at that moment, and when his mind was more clear by hus recovery, he would be able to suit language to the appre- ciation be felt for their kindness. Captain P. A. Gervy then advanced, and, in the Freuch Yanguage, addressed to tho General a short discourse, in the name of the officers preseut, remarking, among other ‘things, that their welcome was hot directed to him were) ‘a General, but mainly to the old veteran—the brave sol- dier of liberty, and the hero of his country’s freedom. At this point Licut. Rodriguez called and introduced the officers personally to the brave General, and after having bad all the pleasure of ehaking hands with bin, they re- ured, wishing the General the happiest return to bis coun- try. Several gentlemen called pon the General to bid bim farewe!l and pay their reapects during the morning. ‘At cleven o'clock the cavalry of the First division, con * of the First and Third regiments, the Natioual i 8, fag, ev and the Venezuelan Commissioners: — Pedro J.

Several gentlemen bade the General farewell, and as General Sanford took his hand teare fliled the eyes of beth. The parting of the General with bis friends was most affecting, and each par ty fervently embraced each other on leaving, kissed, and hands for eeveral moments. The boat thon steamed to the Caledonia, which was iying «short way ap the river, and left bah py it on board He was also sehich apparently pleased the Veneanelans on board both boats.

The kindness of the people would never be forgotten him: and his father was deeply obliged to them for ovation they had extended that day. Mayor Tiemann briefly replied, and General Sandford added that they were alwoys ready to extend their help- ong band to a freeman. The General's son wag deeply affected, and on several gceagions thanked the partes present for their kindness. ‘The following are the officers of the Atlanta -— A. L. Case, Commander; W. A.

Notwithstanding the rain and wind, a large assembly of the pupils of the ward schools met at the Cooper In stitute at four o'clock P. M, yesterday, to hear the awards and receive the prizes given to the producers of merito rious articles recently exhibited there. ‘The exerc!--s commenced by the reading of the 100th Psalm, by Wm. J. Haskett. Mr. Nerrson, President of the Board of Bducation, then addressed the meeting as follows:— My Youne Farspe—CGur exhibition is over. | am not willing that you should disperee on this occasion without saying a few words to you, 1 desire particularly at this time to express my thanks to our worthy Chairman of the Committee on the Course of Studies and School Books, who has given so much of his valuable time and attention to thisexhibition. Great thanks are also due to Mr. Peter Cooper, who Lg us an opportunity in this Institute of exhibiting to the public the course of studies pursued in our ward schools. The reeult of the exhibition has satisfied me entirely of the importance of having this exhibition. There was an opportunity for an exhibi tion of the ward schools every year under the old society, and upon the dissolution of itand its merging into the Board of Education I strove to have that ctice conti- ued. During my presidency of the Board I tried to re- vive these exhibitions, but my efforts proved of little avail, as there was no time nor place for the exhibition and exa mination, But I am satisfied from the fact that po few actools baye presented anything in this exhibition that this sticmulus is necesary. There should be something to make them pay more attention to penmanship; there is nothing I esteem of more importance than to be’ able to write a good, legible, distinct hand. I look upon every young man and woman who can write a8 always able to obtain an honorable livelihood. We have had some most deautiful specimens of drawing. A young man who is able to use hig pencil as some of the young men of the ward schools are has before him a great opportunity for usefulness in the world. Then there is peedlework—plain needlework—what is more useful to a woman than needle- work? How belpless is a woman who don’t know how to do common eewing! If a young lady don’t know bow to do her own sewing when “she has no one but herself to take care of, what will she do when she hae others to take care of? We had some beautiful specimens of fancy needlework. I know there is prejudice against fancy needle work, I acknow ledge to having one myself. remember thal a wit, on Ddebolding a piece of red fancy worked worsted, said it was red with the blood of murdered time. But, never- theleeg, it is a pleasant vay of occupying leisure time, and sometimes it is useful in helping to support a person. There was ove lige piece of productive industry exhibited for which no reward has been appropriated. It is a stock- ing, neatly knitted. I think it ought not to be overlooked; it should be rewarded, and if that little hand that neatl knitted those stockings, and those little feet for whic! they were knitted, will come up to the platiorm by aud by, L have something for them, (Loud applause.) The hist of prizes was then read off by Wm. J.

Geographical Features of the Northwestern ‘Territories—The Northern Route for the Pa- cific Ratlroad—Is the Climate too Cot!) > LECTURE OF THE HON. ISAAC J. STEVENS THE NEW YORK GEOGRATHICAL AND Seai society. One of the most interesting, instructive and vatuah' lectures which has ever been given in iis city was le- livered last evening before the Geographica! and Stat +t cal Society, in the lecture hall of the Historical Society. The weather was very unfavorable, and the audience, therefore, was not as large as it otherwise would have been; but it may be gratifying to those who desire to hear Mr. Stevens to know that he has consented to deliver it again at come future day, at the request of the Sosiety. The Rey. Dr. Hawks presided. Before the jecture the erdinary business of the Society was transacted. The re- port of the Treasurer stated that the receipts during the Jast twelve months amounted to $1,706 93, and the dis- Dursements to $1,605 08, leaving a bulance in the treasury of $41 85. ‘The foliowing officers wore elected for the ensuing year: President, Rey. Francis L. Hawks, D.D., LL.D.; Vice Pre- sidents, Henry Grinnell, Ksq., Archibald Russell, Bsq., Rey. J. P. Thompson, D.D.; Foreign Corresponding Seere- tary, John Jay; Domestic Corresponding Secretary, Mar- shall Lefferts; Recording Secretary, James W. Beekman; qT r, Frederick A, Conkling; Librarian, Egbort 1. Viele; Council, Henry E. Pierrepont, Henry V. Poor, Hi- ram Barney, George Folsom, Charles P. Daly, Frederic Prime, Daniel P. Noyes, Joseph B. Varnum, Jr. /Robert B, Minturn, Jr. When the business of the meeting had heen transacted, the President introduced the lecturer to the audience. After referring to the wonderful progress of the great North. ‘west during the last twoive yonrs, and to the early explora. tions which had been made . that part of our country, he entered in detail into a con: ideration of the fovimerat Ths features of that wonderful region. Ov the northwestern coast we have, said he, the most extraordinary series of harbors and rosdsteads in the world, while the forests havo an incxbaustible supply of lumber and spars. ‘The coast fisheries of cod and halibut stretch from the mouth of the Columbia to Vancouver's Island. There is coal to be found along Puget Sound, and men who have a practi- cal knowledge of it say it’ will do for river navigation, and are of the opinion that it will be found suitable for ocean steamers. In regard to the spars, | may add that we have sent three large vease!s loaded with them for the French and English navies, and their inspectors have pro- nounced them the best and the soundest spars they have ever seen, The climate of the country along Puget Sound and Columbia river is 80 mild that there is no ice in the winter, and the people have to send to Sitka, in the Russian seions, for their supply, The farmer has from Septem- er to March to sow his wheat, and the poor man who oes out there will have with six months of seed time a jarge harvest. The summer is without rain, so that the grain never mildews or rusts. Kast of the Cascade Mountains we have a vast pastoral and agricultural coun- try, which only requires the simple labor of man to pro- duce in the greatest abundance, Father De Smet, the Jesuit missionary—a man whose name is a tower of ftrength and faith—has sttted emphatically that that whole country is rich in mineral wealth. You are familiar with the fact that the Jesuit missionaries are men of great intelligence—men of high scientific attainments. They have great practical knowledge of the country, and in that region are mort admirable farmers. It is Father De Smet and the other good fathers who have labored so bard among the Indians, and who have endured cold and hunger and contumely, that they might do a Christian work among those eavages. are the witnesses who give evidence in regard to the mineral wealth of this country and its agricuitural capacity. It is @ grateful duty for mo to perforin in this presence, to bear my humble testimony to their services. (Applause.) The lecturer here went into a consideration of the subject of the Pacitic Railrond and the character of the climate along the route which be proposed. The great objection which had been made to that was the intense cold of the winter, an objection which he contended was not based ou facts. “He then proceeded to prove, by observations made at different pomts, that the winter was much milder than is supposed and than har been stated. The mean winter temperature at Fort Benton, said he, im 1858~'4, was 25 «leg. 38 min. above zero. The average at Movtreal, on the Grapd Tronk Railroad, for the same year, was 13 deg. 22 miu, and for a mean of ten years 17 deg. 80 min. above zero, At Quebec, it was in 63 and "54, nu |. abowe ent for a mean of ten years 13 deg. 30 min. above zero. On the grent Russian rail- road St. Petersburg to Moscow, the comparison it very similar. The mean winter tomperature for a series of ‘twenty-one years at Moscow, is 15 deg. 20 min., and at St. Petersburg for ® mean of twenty-five years, 18'deg. 10 min. above zero. At Fort Sneliing, on the great lines through Minnesota, from St. Paul to Beanbina andfrom St. Paul to Breckin- ridge, now actually in process of construction, the mean ‘winter temperature of 1868 and 1864 was 11 deg. 64 min. , and the mean of thirty five winters 16 deg. 10 min. above me ‘Thus in the winter of 1853-4, an unusually cold ‘winter, Fort Benton was 12 deg. warmer than Montreal, 14 deg. warmer than Quebec, 14 deg. warmer than Fort Snelling, 10 deg. warmer than Moscow, and 7 deg. warmer than St. Petersburg. Looking to the Bitter Root Valley, we find ite average temperature in the winter of 1853-'54 to be 24 deg. 90 min. and ia 1854-65 30 deg. 30 min. above zoro, taking it for (he two winters respectively 10 degrees and 15 deg. warmer than at Moscow, and 7 degrees and 12deg. warmer than at St. Petersburg, 12 degrees warmer than at Montreal, and 14 degrees warmer than at Quebec. But 1 will not content myself with gems yon the avers winter temperatures. Let us consider nreaiest cold obeerved. The greatest cold during the winter 1863-64 was 29 degrees below at Cantonment Stevens. At Fort Snelling it was 36 , at Montreal 34 5 and at Quebec 20 degrees tae’ vero; from which you Will see that on this route the greatest cold is not equal to the “greatest cold on the route of the Grand Trunk Canada. fact ie eee i true E 5 i z £ i is i 8 get il Hf a fis 2. 7 é i i iT!

The mean temperature i the pase from January 12 to Jannary 23—twelve daye—was 101.10 degrees below vero: At Cantonment Stevens the mean temperature war 5.2 below zero, gt Fort Benton 7 3-10 below zero. The greatest mean cold of any day observed io the pass War 22 degrees against 24 degrees at Fort Snell ing, and @ etill lower figure at Pembino, Tho fact that the winter of "63-'64 was wnnsually cold in the moontam regicn of the northern route is shown im the fact that in the Bitter Root Volley the thermometer cover Went done to zero in the winter of 64-65, while it fell ar Jow an 29 dogrees below gore in the winter of "60-'54. The average mean temperature of this valley in the winter Of "68-04 was 24.90, whereas in '64-°65 it was 90.30. The same general result, determined by observation, as re garde the temperature of the pags, would be arrived at by using the formula that every 1,000 feet in altitate would depress the temperature three degrees. Now, on, five miles of the pass is more than five thousand feet above the sea, the greatest altitude being but 6,066 feet, and the avert height of the pase is but about four thon sand feet. cold of the wideriug sim ply 165 mites of tho distance where the altitude exceeds three thousand feet—will be only from one to seven and a half degrees colder than tha’ ut Fort Bonton, Gentiemen—continued the lecturer —it does secu to me that these facts, drawn from official records, every one of them entirely reliable, ought to settle for ever this question which been raised prejudicial to this Toute, that it will be obstructed by snow in cold weather, Why. sir, s0 successful bas boon the great railroad from Moscow to St. Petersburg, that they pushing rallronde in all directions, running regions truly Siberian, crossing tracks where for three menths the thermometer never rises above zeto, and for many days the temperature is lower than the greatest coll ever reached in the mowntains of the United States. And we find that Canadian roads are being exten.ted westward, utterly regardicae of these ob jections, experience having shown their fotility.

Twill present it a8 a good | route for emigrants by the ordinary conv 6 of the | | | country. The distance from St. Paul he western end of Lake Superior to the shores of Puget’s Sound is, in round numbers, 1,800 miles. Well, the difficulties | which, 1 have presented in the way of a railroad interred with the carrying of the mails on this routa ‘he entire year. I think, sir, that not only ought the mails ‘ode carried over this route the entire year, but in a imiited number of days. The service ought to be ren- dered on this road in wagons im eighteen days, whi would be only 100 miles a day. { Is it not astonishing, Mr. President, that I have to go nto Siberia to get facts to establish this conclusion of mine. YT trust, sir, that because they are so far etched you will not call this a Siberian trail, Russia, in the matter of her enterprises for carrying he mails, isahead of any Power in the world, and she cau give us lessons that it will be well for us to protit by. Our Consul at the Amoor, Mr. Collins, ha given us tho facts of the great postal service of Russia, from Moscow to rkoutsk, in Fastern Siberia. The distance is not 1,800, but 3,426 miles, On this route are established two hun? dred and ten stations, with a postmaster and the ni sary relays of horses at each station. The contractor obliged to carry the mails twiee a week, and they are also obliged to transport passengers over the route at certain rates of travel—to wit, at eight miles an hour in winter, six and two-thirds in summer and five and one- ‘third in the fall, ‘The time required to carry the mails over route is from twenty five to thirty days, a dstance on the average of from 114 to 137 miles per day, while the 4 vernment couriers go over the route in'from fifteen to twenty days, or at an average of from 171 to 228 miles per day. “That mail route is between the fifty-second and fifty-eighth parallels, and the thermometer in winter on a large portion ‘of it is habitually below zero. At Mos- cow, the eastern terminus of the route, Uhe average of the thermometer is 15 degrees, and at Tobolak 13; degrees above zero, while at Tonisk it is three degrees, and at Irkoutsk one degree below zero. The average temperatures for January, for the three latter places were, respectively, three, five and six degrees below zero. Mr. Collins hitn self travelled over this entire route in Winter aud early gpring, making #uch rates of travel as these. He travelled from Veivk-neo-dinsk to Chotah, 300 miles, in forty-tive hours; and from Irkoutsk to Kyackta, 367 miles, in forty. | eight hours. But he mentions another fact more signill- | cant still. On this distance of 8426 miles, between the parallels of 62 dog. and 58 deg., the thermometer on | a large portion of it’ through =the winter below zero, he found 500 citdes, villages and towne, showing conclusively that the extreme cold presented | no difficulty in the way of the occupation of the country. This has all been done by imperial edicts acting ona nation of geriz—dono simply in obedience to the idea of | reverence to authority. What will not the genius and | enterprise of (reemen and citizens do on any of our overland routes when the government comes for- ward and establishes its mail service, and the con tractor is not hampered by petty and exacting re- strictions, and our people are left free, each man to carve out his fortune and his home? The Cvar of Rns- Sia establishes b's route, and in part builds up bis towns and villages and cities with his prisouers of State and the refuge of his jails; whereas, in our case, it will be the very flower and substance of our people who will apply the energies of freemen and of sovereigns to the building up of our routes, Ihave therefore a right to assume in the light of the experience of the great mail service of Siberia, that there will be no difficulty on our, compara lively speaking, much milder and shorter route. On motion of Mx. Aram BARNEY, a vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Stevens for his admirable lecture, and a re quest made that he deliver it again in this city, The meeting then adjourned, the entire The Tax of 1858. ‘The following statement from the Receiver of Taxes, showing the amount of taxes on real and perzonal estate paid into bis Department up (0 the Ist inst., will be found Interesting. It appears that the tax levy for 1858 is $8 620,926 72, and the amount already paid is $6,968,687 01, leaving $1,652,239 71 yet to be collected. It appears, far- ther, that although the tax books were opened a month later this year than last, in consequence of au imjunciion which was laid on them by the Comminsioners of Record, the amount collected this year up to the Ist of Decomber exoeeds that of the same time in 1867 by $1,357,515 08. The tax levy this year is about two millions more than lat, and, with the proepect now before us in the coming election, it will probably be increased next year by tree or four millions more.
