ount to $21,000,000; and that the present tax bill will produce $270,000; there will then be a deficit of $68,000 to meet the expenses estimated by the Auditor, and a deficit of $100,000 to meet the actual expenditures of the city for the next year, even if the Council shall practice the most rigid economy; and to provide for this sum by taxation will require an increase of the taxes to fully thirty-five per cent. There is $50,000 of debt due the 1st day of July, and $12,000 due the 1st of January next. The estimates for the improvement of James River are $12,114.21; for the completion of the Alms-house $37,237.61, and for the Water-Works $7,941.93; making together $119,293.75. Of this sum we are required by the charter to provide for the payment of $21,000, being one per cent. on the amount of the city debt. The committee, as stated yesterday, think that in the present condition of the country, a sale of the city bonds to meet the payment of the balance could only be made at su

icable, whether any movement of arms or men has been made by the General Government to any fort or arsenal in or bordering upon Virginia, indicating a preparation for attack or coercion." beg leave to report-- That from information derived from such sources as were accessible to them, they are of opinion that there has been no movement of arms or men by the General Government, with any purpose of attack or coercion. In regard to Fortress Monroe, there is no doubt that since the 1st of January last it has been put in a better condition for defence against attack from all quarters, than at any time before. Guns have been mounted upon the land side, pointing inland, a portion of the fort which was before comparatively unprotected, and increased vigilance has been exercised in and around the fort. It was in evidence before your committee that the practicability of taking the post, in certain contingencies had been discussed in the neighborhood, and they are of opinion that noth

independent Government at Montgomery, was it not wrong to refuse to look to that fact, and to persist in these impotent efforts towards an amicable relation with the one at Washington? True statesmanship, he conceived, was governed by circumstances, and so every member ought to be governed, without reference to any card that he might have published before the election. The man who to-day insists that the course of Virginia should be controlled by circumstances as they existed on the 1st day of January, closes his eyes to the events that have been transpiring around us. Mr. Barbour would go into no Free-Soil Government, separated from the seceded States. If they are brought back, it will have to be done by regular treaty and annexation. They would never, he contended, give up their Government, wholly devoted as it was to their interests, on a mere sentiment of attachment to old Virginia. The majority report recognizes the fact that there are two Governments, and desires to co

its prosperity. Enterprising business men, with stout hearts, and heads full of brains, are therefore needed much here, for I am free to confess that old fogyism has reigned undisturbed here too long. Charleston, as a city, is, without doubt, the most pleasant place of residence that I know of in all my acquaintance. In winter, we scarcely ever have it cold enough to produce ice, and if at all, it melts in a few hours.--Consequently, we have fruits, vegetables and flowers from the 1st of January to the 31st of December. As a summer residence, I prefer it to any city North that I have ever visited, being almost entirely surrounded by broad salt water, with the ocean immediately in front, we are never without a fine sea breeze, rendering the hottest summer days and nights not only bearable, but positively delightful. As to the health of Charleston, no city enjoys a greater exemption from disease. The yellow fever has, for the last ten years, visited us every other year. Last ye

A wife in Search of her husband. --In the New York Supreme Court, on Wednesday, before Justice Clerks, Mrs. Sarah Locke applied for a writ of habeas corpus, for the purpose of obtaining possession of her husband, who, she alleges, is kept from her by his father. It appears that a year or more ago, Charles E. Locke, who was on a visit to Europe, became acquainted with the petitioner at Birmingham, England, and that he lived with her there some time. They came to this country in the latter part of 1860, and were married in Brooklyn, on the 1st of January last, by the Rev. Benjamin Whalen, a Baptist minister. They lived together until the 9th of , when Mr. Locke suddenly disappeared. His wife alleges that he is secreted ther who intends to send him to California. The wife is an intelligent, good-looking young woman.
