Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad. --The attention of the traveling community is called to the change in the schedule of this company, announced in our columns this morning. The through passenger train, which formerly left at 7 o'clock, A. M., leaves now at 8 o'clock, A. M. The evening passenger train leaves at 8 P. M. Our business men will see, also, that a through express and freight train is to leave daily at 6 A. M. There are now three splendid boats on the Potomac, running in connection with this company, and the officers of the road are determined to make this old favorite route to Washington and the North one of the most attractive in the United States.

t wish to have him punished. The Mayor discharged him upon her representations. John McMann was charged with being drunk and disorderly. On his promise of reformation, the Mayor let him off. James W. Camp was up on a similar charge. The Mayor warned him against a repetition of his offence, and released him from custody. Ellen McCarthy, a woman with a young child in her arms; Louisa Langford, Virginia Wade and Mary Collins, a portion of the population residing in the old United States Hotel, on the corner of Nineteenth and Main streets, were up on the charge of being disreputable characters and general disorderly conduct. Mr. Jesse F. Keesee testified that the woman McCarthy had never paid any rent, and he had given her repeated notices to quit. Another witness testified to the general disorderly behavior of the other parties. Captain Quinby stated that their place was a general resort for drunken soldiers, and that fights were of frequent occurrence. After hearin

Correction. --The robbery reported in our paper yesterday as occurring at the Exchange Hotel, did not take place there, but across the way, at the Ballard House. Our friends Carrington & Ford keep one of the best hotels in the United States, and are very unwilling that their boarders should feel uneasy after retiring to rest at night; but they must remember that robberies will sometimes occur in the best regulated establishments, and we have an instance of it in the elegant house of their neighbors of the Ballard.

n his statement. We put aside the well-known truth that New England would have cut but a sorry figure in the revolutionary war had she not received the assistance of Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia; and come to events under the Constitution — that is, since 1789. And here we take the liberty of saying that, until the late war,--which, it must be acknowledged, she contributed more than any other portion of the United States to bring about — she scarcely ever succeeded in anything. Even in that war, while her fanatical spirit animated the contest, her individual aid was comparatively small. She seems to have depended more upon substitutes from foreigners and negroes than upon the valor of her own population, leaving to the Great West and to the Middle States the heat and burden of the day, while she contented herself with claiming all the credit, after they had won the fight. But before that time her succ

ern emigrants. Few persons are aware of all that immigration has accomplished for the West, and, indeed, for the United States in general. Without that fertilizing addition to our population, the West would be now a wilderness, and the United United States a fourth-rate power. This assertion is not made at random. It has been shown in an able statistical treatise that the difference in the population of the United States produced by immigration is 12,432,150. If immigration had been cut off United States produced by immigration is 12,432,150. If immigration had been cut off in 1790 our population would have been in 1850 what it was in 1820. It has, in fact, placed the United States thirty years forward in that essential element of prosperity. Hitherto, owing to the ignorance in Europe of the extraordinary resources oUnited States thirty years forward in that essential element of prosperity. Hitherto, owing to the ignorance in Europe of the extraordinary resources of the South and the system of slave labor, this vast stream of immigration has only scattered a few drops within our borders. Census returns show that six out of seven emigrants from Europe have settled in the free States. Labor is now the vit

planters of the South to put too much land in cotton next year. The ordinary calculations of prudence and sound reasoning should premonish them against such a policy. Why is it that cotton sells at such enormous prices as now? Plainly because of its scarcity. And the price will inevitably decline as the production increases. Messrs. Neill, Brothers & Co., of New Orleans, well known for the accuracy of their statistics regarding cotton, estimate the present stock of cotton in the United States, old and new crop, at something over two million bales. If this be true, which we do not doubt, a large crop next year, say four million bales, would unquestionably bring down the price to ante-war rates. On the other hand, a crop of half that amount would probably not materially decrease the price. Would it not, then, be better for the people of the South to raise only two million bales, which would bring them as much money in the markets of the world as four millions? and in doing t

Associated Press dispatchesGeneral Grant's visit to the Rio Grands — pardon warrants — reception, by President Johnson, of General Talgar, Minister from Columbia. Washington, December 27. --It has been stated that General Grant is about to visit the Rio Grande. This is not true, however, as he will not extend his visit beyond New Orleans. For the first time since the surrender of Lee's army, no pardon warrants were issued by the Attorney-General to-day. Very few applications are now presented. The President is energetically engaged in disposing of all cases. General Talgar was to-day received by the President as Minister from Columbia. He stated that his Government was solicitous to foster and encourage friendly relations, binding it to the United States. The President reciprocated the expressions of friendship by him expresse

The last Thursday of February was appointed as a day of special prayer on behalf of the youth of the country, with a view to the increase of the ministry. Rev.
