And here iets me remind former youthful visitors to Rome of the many hours they have spent under that pop Felag Meine! eons - or on a rst gallery, shaded upper tiers, or, again, be- tween the arches out of the sentrie's view. Withoat doubt next year will bring hundreds of Ameri- can visitors to Rome who have never travelled in Europe before. Let these take.the advice of an old ‘‘voyager,”’ and eschew the guide books’ flattering tales of comfort in Florence romance in Rens Let such, coming from the North, design ing Rome by’ the noarest, safest and quickest route, id the road leadin; from Venice through Florence and shorn by rail, an from thence via Nunziatella to Civita Vecchia by dill- gence, and instead thereof come through Bologna and Ancona direct to Rome, the whole way by rail; or if com- ing through Trieste, lot them take the steamer from that place to Ancona and thence by railto Rome. This a vice, given principally to save travellers the unpleasant- e38 of a rencontre with the brigands who now swarm on the road leading from Nunziatella, is of course only ap- piicable to such partics as desire to reach Rome in tho Shortest possible ime, and bas no bearing on those who design loiteriag on the way in search of the romantic or beautiful. Less than three weeks ago the writer, in charge of some ladies, was unpleasantly awakened to a sense of tho responsibility of his position by seeing the diligence from Nunziatella to Civita Vecchia carefully guarded by a couple of men armed to the teeth, who would doubtless have bolted at the first sight of a cone- shaped hat or the click of a blunderbuss behind a tree. The present unsettiod state of the Pope's dominions, and that part of the Italian frontier to the north of Rome, is particularly adapted to the security of dozens of bandits, who mock to scorn the petty attempts to put them down. Let Bostonians rememoer that though Rome bears in some particulars resemblance to the capital of Greece, it is no reason it should be like the ‘‘modern Athena.’’ Its dirty streets, ineflcient police, swarming beggars, homely women and half starved horses will soon unde- ceive them. Neither let New Yorkers draw unfavorable comparisons with respect to Rome's bad sidewalks, worse liquor, cramped public promenades or want of places of evening amusement. Comparisons are ever odious, but the following one by a worthy Pennsyl- vanian, a late arrival in tho Eternal City, reminds mo that their frequency begins to pall. This gentleman has determined to leave Rome immediately, because “ it’s so plaguy full of ruins sherp’s nothing else to see; Arch street could buy the whole out, and spare enough to balld them up»again.’’ A word about Surratt, and I have done. The interest manifested here in the man’s capture, escape and subse- nent recapture, can only second that felt in the United States.

Too wise to manage the matter openly, she requested the assist- eS ee ish person, who, unaware for whom she asked the favor, obtained his acceptance into the “Pope's own."

The sailed from Civita Vecchia on the The Swatara, which 17th, goes to Alexandria, will thero take Surratt on board, where St. Marie, the informer, already is, and convey the twe directly to the United States. Alth not much credit should be placed on the testimony of such a man as St. Marie, {t must not be lost sight of that he jositively declares that Surratt informed him of Joff Davis’ complicity in the cssasaination plot, and that he (Surratt) was the bearer of the despate! ‘which got the Dascent Urox Disornpraty Hovsss—Lanan Havr oF Bors axp Youne Mxy.—For a long time past Jean Baptista Crobo and Louis Delucco, both Italians, have kept a dis- orderly house at No, 17 Baxter street. and Giovanni Gal- forda, also an Malian, bas kepta similar place at No. 82 Baxter strect, These houses have been the resort of vicious boys, young men of questionable character and who congregated there at ali hours of playing cards, drinking vile stuff charitably Bourbon, and making themselves 4 nuisance to the neighborhood.

General Benaregard’s Explanation. In reply to the letter of General P. T. Beauregard to the New Orleans Times of the 10th inst., your corres- pondent on duty with theparty would say that the tele- gram of the 28th ult. does not state that General Beau- regard mado a public speech at Canton, Miss., though such an inference might naturally be drawn from the language. What Beauregard said was stated in very free conversations with different members of the excur- sional party, and the delarations attributed to him in the tologram wore either addressed to your correspondent or to others within his hearing whose understanding of them enticate the report given. Before sending the tele- Bram it was read to two gentlemen who had been listeners to the General's remarks and who pronounced it a correct version of a portion of them, The Quest! the Rebels to Practice in the Supreme Court.

The lines of railroad from Norfolk and Richmond South are talking of extending the Wilmington and Man- chéster Rallroaa southwest to Millen, Ga, by which they will secure an independent passenger train to Ma- con, Columbas and Central Alabama, The South Caroli- na Railroad to Branchville will be used to perfect this connection if it 1s mado, A New Pacific Ratiread Project.

Mere Abent the Senatorial Caucus—The Stories About Alleged Bribery ef Veters— Greeubacks Said to Have Been Circulat: on Both Sides—Conkling and Dayis Gone Home, &c. Atnany, Jan. 12, 1867. The Senatorial caucus is still the subject of conversa- tion here among the few people who remain since the weekly adjournment of the Legislature. There are 80 many rumors and theories about the result that it is very difficult to get at the real truth as regards the ‘means that were used, tho means that were not used, and the means that might have been used hed certain people only done this, that and the other thing. I should add, bowever, that the frionds of Judge Davis claim that he was the cause of bis own defeat. Had he been guidod by the advice ef his chief sup- porters, it is said, he could have been nominated without difficulty on the second formal ballot. In justice to the honorable gentleman it should also be explained that the reason he thus rejected advice was because it in- volved the adoption of means which he felt would do- grado him personally, while at the same time forbidden by the supreme Iaw of the Commonwealth. In plain Anglo-Saxon, it was proposed to him to use magey in obtaining votes. It was represented to him that the power of greonb: was becoming extensively exer- cised on the other side, and that be would be justified in doing the same thing to ensure bis election, To these arguments he replied substan tially thus:— “Gentlemen, bad T consulted my own feelings in this matter, I should not have come bere at all during the Progress of this canvass. 1 came here st your aolicita- tion because my competitors were on the ground, and because I was not personally known to many of my eup- porters. You believed my presence was actually neces- sary, and I am here. But I will not consent that a sin- gle dollar be used improperly to further my prospects.” This firm repudiation of the bribery policy disconcerted his friends considerably and Jeft them, they say, to con- tend against great odds in electioncering. Notwith- standing this, however, I am informed that some of Judge Davis” “commerv.al” frionds were prepared at the caucus to shell out “spondulix”’ liberally, and that an old railroad’ lobbyist actually operated pecuni- ie among the members to that end. jus, it would appear, that the almighty dollar was not altogether onesided in its attractions, and that both parties held forth the tempting charms of the doria virida, Why the friends of Davis did not win is vari- ously explained, Some say it was the fault of the Albany and Columbia delegations that delayed too long é . gr to the rescue, while others assert at the “pure! 6 articles" to ikely to win, Conki! ‘ormal ballot may reserve for Conkling and Mavis have both ere home, and great dulloess has succeeded.

Unwillingness en the Part ef the Freedmen to Make Contracts, &c. ° Ricuwoyp, Jan. 18, 1867. Recent information from various points of the South represents an unwillingness en the part of negroes to make contracts for the current year, while in some Places they are readily engaged. Im the lower counties of Texas the freedmen generally refuse to make con- tracts unless on condition that they ere found and have one-third of the crop, and as these terms cannot be complied with thousands will be unemployed. In por- tions of North Carolina they refuse to Work for $15 per month and rations, being desirous of farming en sharee without a manager over them. This feeling prevails among them throughout that State, and they utterly re- fuse to bind themselves on any conditious, {p Lancaster istrict, South Carolina, the freedmen have with few ex- ceptions secured homes for the present year, and the as- semblage at the Court House for hiring was wadisturbed by a single misdemeanor. At Columbus, Ga., Captain Moseback, the agent of the Bureau, had issued the following order in relation te hiring freedmen, for the information of ell concerned :— “Persons making contracts for this year are hereby informed that the regulations of this Bureau (or last year are still in force. No contract will be considered bind- ing unless approved by an officer or civil agent of the Bureau, and Freea people being engaged by contracts not approved by such authority are at Liberty to loave their employers’ service at any time. Should any difference occur in regard to compensation for their services during the time they were empioyed, the employers will be re- quired to pay the highest wayes that are paid in their sectionef the country.’ NO INDICTMENTS AGAINST THE NEW ORLEANS RIOTERS.

Therefore tt is clear that although the bank capita! ie only $4,000,000, the whole amount has been disposed of, and $1,370,484 over and above its capital; besides which, there are some $2,000,000 more in circulation, guaranteed by the bank!

If the custom house duties, taxes and all otber sources of revenue are alwaya anticipated by the homé government, and the funds are sent home, long before tho collections are completed, or, in other words, the government is always drawing and never remitting, What security can there be in treasury ‘‘bonos #”? It will further be seen, from the aforesaid balance sheet, that while the total amount of cash was $1,084,686, the amount of the bank's ilabilities reached $10,772,433—say $4,995,000 for the notes in circulation, &nd $5,777,833 for deposits payable on demand. According to the accompanying statement of the cash balance on hand at all the banks in 1865-66 we find that on the Ist of January, 1866, it was $8,135,502, against $1,699,463 on the 30th of November, thus show- ing @ decrease or difference of $6,436,129,’ without in- cluding in this comparison the cash in the Issue Depart- ment of the Bunco Espafol.

Stkamen Commopors.—On Wednesday last some of the wrecked material of the steamer Commodore was sold as auction, The sale attracted a large concourse of people, but created mach dissatisfaction, as no articles of any great value were offered—nothing but a lot of shattered boards, damaged flour, oranges in barrels, &c. ; all the material and cargo saved that weuld bear transportation had been sent to New York. The huil of the steamer lies nearly under water, all of the upper works being one but the wheel houses. That part of the vessel w fora together more firmly than the reat by the enginew ‘and machinery being located there.
