His frindpaland only ofBoe 'was that of money writer, 'and for year he fairly, ruled Wall street and its moneyed environs with his pen. Did Snow er his friends want a rise in stocks, it vas only necessary for the Tribune's monetary column to predict it, or adduce arguments to favor it If decline was wanted the same course was pursued, and almost invariably the object sought was realised. In fact, so powerful was the sway of Snow and his articles qn the Stock Exchange, that he oould fairly fix a pries for the opening of any on stock himselfand It was often his sly boast that he did so.

Of coarse the control of the money column of the paper with which he was connected, was worth a fortune to him, for Snow was not the man to be ignorant of the immense advantage possessed, and it is no secret that he rolled up money like the waves of the sea. Although it was chiefly the Tribune for which he wrote, be was also for many years the Inancial correspondent of the Philadelphia. North American and Boston Journal, and in both of these cities (the authority being known) his letters (except when he was thought to be bulling or bearing were always relied upon, for their usefulness and the wide scope of their information. Of late down to about 1860, his wealth probably becoming heavy, he eased off from steady labor and cut down his connection to the Tribune alone, though even in the money column of that, journal, there was a perceptible change, a loss of the vim, th 'dash, and general character of the articles that had usually characterized it In other words. Snow was not there.

The fact is, prosperity and high living were the ruin of Snow Nor is his an isolated case, for there are thousands of them in this broad land of ours alone. In these' he lost the robust health he for so many years enjoyed, and from the portly, handsome man he was, he descended rapidly, he became a wreck. The person who saw Geo. M. Snow in Wall street, his old haunt, on the 1st of September last, would scarcely have recognized or believed that he had been the virtual financial king of the street, or that he had bent and moulded it daily with a few illegible dashes of the massive gold pencil he was wont to carry.

I say illegible," for such a scrawl was seldom, if ever, seen. A telegraph operator had rather almost lose his week's salary than be compelled to study Out the chirography of a dispatch left to be sent by Snow. Kingman, the oldest Washington correspondent living, writes in a most spider legged manner. CoL Fuller, of the London Cosmopolitan, is not much better McMillan, one of the leading editors on the Express, writes as if with a three legged stool but as bad as these are, they were Goldsmith's compared to the scrawls of Goo. Snow.

How the compositors on the Tribune ever set up his matter for a score of years is more than I can conjecture. Certain it is, there most have been, at times, hard words over it Snow left a wife and six daughters. Report says he left them comfortable, and I hope such was the case. I saw him last about ten days since, emaciated dreadfully. The eye had lost its fire the Roman nose and marble like forehead had shrank away as if they had been paper; the full form had dwindled to the dimensions of a bean pole, and the rich and tasty garments where were they 7 In two days after, Snow was dead Locked In tbe deep UllneM of that dream leas state Of sleep, that knows no waking Jot acaiu Axtelope.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON. Saatm Anna at Waahlasrtea His Cass ad re What he Wants and What he Gat la Dealgna ana Hla TaeU The Faar Fenlaae ta he Led lata Aaether Snare Special Correspondence of the Picayune. Washington, Oct 2, 1866.. An old man with atwooden leg, a bronzed and weather beaten countenance and a foreign aspect, said to be Gen. Santa Anna, of Mexico, has been here for several days past He has had a long interview with Mr.

Seward, and a short and strictly private one with the President In the latter case, like Nicodemusbf old, he came in the night For many weeks past, he has been exerting himself to procure from Mr. Seward some definite and tangible assurance that, in ease he goes to Mexico at the head of an armed expedition, or raises his standard in Mexico as the liberator of that country, that the United States will recognize him, and give him such moral support as enable him to make headway against Maximilian. To these appeals Mr. Seward turned a deaf ear, and made no reply or an evasive one. In his interview with Mr.

Seward, Santa Anna brought with him two Mexican gentlemen just arrived from that country, who represent matters in a very different light than we see them in the New York papers. They presented to Mr. Seward indisputable proofs of the fact that the Liberal cause in Mexico is on the brink of ruin, solely on account of the interminable and irrepressible feuds between the leading Liberal chiefs. The condition of affairs in Matamoros is a fair specimen of the whole country. No sooner does, a Liberal chief obtain possession of any town or city than be at once levies forced loans upon the inhabitants, until people are so exasperated against him that they are: ready to join any plot for.

his overthrow. They, do not have long to wait. Some other chief quickly raises the standard of another party, the soldiers and inhabitants join him, the first conqueror is deposed and flies with his booty, and a new rt begins. New forced loans are Immediately levied aild exacted with merciless cruelty. The inhabitants find that they have jumped out of the frying pan into the fire, and that they are soon stripped of all they possess, either by their present conquerors, or by those who succeed them in the same way.

Santa Anna represented that if he was in Mexico, countenanced by the United States, all this would cease. But he got cold comfort from Mr. Sew ard, and worse from President Johnson. The disorders in Mexico were admitted, and he was informed that, as he well knew, this was a picture bf what bad been continually taking place in Mexico during the last forty years previous to the French intervention that it seemed to be the normal condition ef Mexico, and that it caased people to dravf very invidious comparisons between" such a state of things, and the quiet, order and prosperity that prevailed in those parts of Mexico where the authority of Maximilian's Government is estabrisbed. Santa Anna was further in formed that the Government had made no secret of the act that it no longer regarded Jnaxes as the President of Mexico, as it waa clear that he was a usurper, and had no shadow of right to exercise the executive authority; Mr.

Campbell, when he is parmitted to go to Mexico, will go to the person to whom he is accredltedi namely tof Gen. Orte ga, the eon atitnUonal and that Mr. Komero waaxecognixed as the Minister of the Eepub lie of Mexico, and not as the Minister of Ju It is hard to say what are Santa Anna's real motives in this business. At his age. and pos sessed of his wealth, he ought to desire nothing except the prosperity of his country.

Tet he is deeply involved in designs which, if sue eessful, can only result in destroying the happiness' and prosperity' of that country, and throwing it back into the anarchy and misrule of the last forty years. The men who are his allies are enough to show that his scheme is not actuated by good motives. He was accompanied to this city by the notorious B. Clay Crawford, the filibuster, and he is now hand and glove with the most desperate, reckless and unprincipled Fenian adventurers.4 Hie immediate object seems to be to get' off an expeditton of some 5000 men from New York. The Fenian leaders have already secured' these from among their blind and deluded followers, and Santa Anna has issued commissions as officers to some five hundred foolish young men to command them.

It has been demonstrated that the Fenians can be led by the nose into any folly, but this is far ahead of any of their former vagaries. In the meantime, it may be well to consider how far this kind of thing can be carried on without remonstrance on the part of France This expedition will land in Mexico, and will make war on the established Government It will be followed by others, organized, like this, in the United States. Is this our promised neutrality JTrue, the Government does not sanction them but it permits them, when if could and ought to stop them, as it stopped the Fenian expeditions against Canada. It would be almost superfluous to add that the New York Herald is doing all in its power to encourage this scheme of Santa Anna's. Ktodebhook.

St. Charles Thxatrb. The romantic drama of Nick of the Woods," founded on Dr. Bird's celebrated Western novel, was given last nigbt at the St Ct.arles in most effective style. The general cast was very good.

Mr. Tllton's Jibbenainotay and Miss Placide's Ttlie Doe were especially deserving of commendation. In the drama of "'The Idiot Witness" we were much pleased with Mr. Til ton's Gilbert, Miss Kate Raymond Walter, and Mr. F.

Give Benjamin a rousing "shake hands" to night, good people. Varibties Theatre. The melancholy drama of The Stranger was given at this theatre last evening, in a style that was exceedingly gratifying to the goodly audience assembled there.

Mrs. Chanfrau as Mri. Holler, and Mr. Carden as the Stranger, elicited the deepest attention and interest, and at the end of the piece were called before the curtain. Tbe part of the old Steward was also an effective and artistic piece of actintr.

The Shreveport Southwestern, in an article urging our penile to supply the plat en made vacant in the fields by the idle and vagrant freedmen and women, says: There is nothing in all the multitudinous arts of peace" which is so well calculated to further the progress of a country in solid proe erity and true civilization as agriculture nod oncoiuitant punuits; and there is not a country on the surface of the globe with finer fields for such industry than those presented by the South.

Then let every man be up and doing. Let young and strong men club together with older, feebler, yet more experienced men, and let the coming winter be occupied in perfecting every arrangement for a vigorous going to work on the rich bat uow idle acres of the Sooth the next season. Club means and brains and go serioualy to work for the golden reward of the harvest Leave the sickening fumes of the liquor saloon, the idle pleasures of the billiard room and the uncertain chances of the gaming table in the cities and towns, go forth into the utj contaminated air of the fields and the moral atmosphere of the country, take off yonr coats and do something for yourselves and yoor country. We have too many stout young men in the South shamelessly burdens on the brawn and muscle of better men thin themselves worthless young men who ride the laborer as the old man of the mount tin fastened himself on the back of Sinbad. the nailor.

It is time they were shaken off and compiled to sweat for themselves. The thousands of young men now living in the South, who bore the brunt of the battles of the four yean' civil war, who thus became inured to danger, hai dVhip and toil, can conduct a successful campaign against the difficulties that have invaded the country, since the strong arm of slave labor has been withdrawn by a false philanthropy from the broad plantations of the South. The raising of a fall crop, or even a half crop of the great staple by the hands of the young men of the Southern states next year, would twine their brows with greener laurels than ever graced the temples of the Iron Duke or of that other blood stained conqueror who scaled the wintry Alps with an army, and led his embrowned legions in the mighty shadows of the Egyptian pyramids, those 1 Eternal vestiges of departed years I Mysterious sinets of a race gene bj Secure, while ruin o'er the earth career.

Hugh McCotxoch, Secretary of the Treasury, The Hextcaa Qaeetlea Ieale ffaaaleea Anxleae New Tokx, Oct 5. A letter ef tho 18th says, in consequence of some important news received from Mexico, en the 15th of tbe present month, the Emperor of JPrauee, who had already dispatched Gen. DeGaetil nsa, his aide de camp, to Maximilian, sent him an order by telegraph to come back to St Cloud, where hia instructions were to be revised and modified. Marshal Raudon, the Minister of War, was present at the interview, which I am assured was of the most important character.

According to a version generally accepted, based, I understand, not merely upon the critical condition of affairs in Mexico, out also upon the firmness of attitude recently assumed by the Cabinet at Washington, the intention or the French Government is to bring about a speedy settilement of the Mexican question, ae as to get rid, as soon as possible, of a perpetual subject of solicitude "and annoyance. To this effect, the fleet of transports collected Brest and Cherbourg, for the purpose of embarking and bringing back to France the first instalment of troops, is to be largely increased, so as to be capable of carrying the whole of the French contingent, and to evacuate Mexico all at once All that wilt remain of the French army there will be a small garrison in each of the harbors where the custom house duties are collected. Such I am assured, are the measures just adopted in the Cabinet council in reference to Mexico. I must say, however, that the Paris Fries is not quite of that opinion, and asserts, on the contrary, that Gen. De Castilnan's mission has not for its object to put immediately an end to the intervention of France in Mexico.

The Matteaal Express Ceaaaany. New York, Oct 5. The case of Orlando A. Joslyn against the National Express Company was up before Judge Barnard yesterday in the Supreme Court Chamber. Plaintiff is a stock holder in the company and complains ol the bankrupt condition of the corporation, and seeks for the winding up of its affairs.

He purchased a number of snares valued at $5000, as he states, under fraudulent representations of certain members of the company. He seeks now to recover his money. An injunction waa granted restraining the defendants from disposing of their property in any way other than for the interests of the, corporation, and the case came up yesterdav, on a motion of defendants to dissolve or modify this injunction. After hearing the argument of counsel Judge Barnard reserved his decision. The Fealaa Trial at Tereate Tobohto, C.

The Lynchburg Virginian has the following: We have been pained to learn from the Abingdon Virginian that a state of things is existing in East Tennessee calculated to excite the deepest anxiety on the part of tbe Conservative element of that unfortunate section. For a time the liveliest hopes were entertained that harmony would, by degrees, be restored, and that those who had been enemies in war would again become friends in peace but we fear such hopes are destined to be very short lived. The Radical element in several of the counties of upper East Ten nessee is oeoommg very resuve, and unmistakable evidences are being developed that this ever restive class of citizens are looking about for a pretext to make a descent upon the former rebel" population of that section. The pretext for this movement, which is fast moving to a development, is that the people of Southwestern Virginia contemplate a movement upon East Tennessee with the refugees from that section, to reinstate them in their now despoiled homes. The report of a contemplated raid from Southwestern Virginia into East Tennessee, says the Virginian, is known by tbe base fabricators of it to be false, and is only a ruse adopted by the basest of the' baser sort ef men to excite their less suspecting neighbors, and reiaaugurate a system of rapine, murder and robbery upon innocent men, who have returned to their homes upon assurances of protection.

Washington, Oct 1. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has just made the following important decision respecting boot and shoe makers who manufacture custom work Treasury Dep't, Office Ihtekhai. Washington, Sept 28, 1866. Sir Your letter of the 6th inclosing a statement from your assistant, Weis, lelaUve to custom boot and shoe makers, was duly received. In answer I have to say that the recent law of Congress exempts any boot or shoe maker making boots or shoes to order as custom work only, whose work, exclusive of materials, does not exceed annually in value $1000.

You will perceive that this is a conditional exemption of boot and shoe makers from taxation. The conditions are two. First, they must manufacture custom work only and, second, the work, exclusive of the materials, must not exceed annually in valae $1000. In order to determine the amount or valae of work, exclusive of materials, the valae or cost of materials is to be detneted from the sales' value of. the boots or shoes manufactured.

If, the difference between, these two sums is less than or only equal to $1000, the boot or shoemaker is exempt; but if it is more than $1000, he is taxable, and the extent of his liability is to be determined in the same manner as any other manufao turer under the provisions of section ninety three. A boot or shoemaker claiming exemption under this provision of law, as being en gaged exclusively in the manufacture of custom work, mast be required to make monthly returns of products, sales aad value Or cost of material used or consumed, if, in the opinion of tha Aameotv there JacJsbitity 4hat ne will exceed tbe limit of exception bat no as sessmeat is be made until the limit of $1000 has been, reached, even should the monthly rate of "work, exclusive ef materials, xeeed eighty three and one third.

Mr. Walker, who keeps the hotel adjoining the course, and has a large stud of trotting horses in training, went upon the track yesterday afternoon for the purose of exercising, one of the horses in his training. About half an hour afterward his family in the hotel were alarmed by seeing the horse and sulky he had driven ont gallop back to the stable without a driver.

The attendants at once proceeded to the track to ascertain the cause, and after going along the course a short distance the dead body of Mr. Walker was found upon the track. On examination it was discovered that he had been shot through the brain by a pistol or rifle ball, causing instan taneons death. No person could be seen on the track or in its vicinity, and the perpetrator of the murder has not been discovered. No reason or motive can be assigned for the deed, as Mr.

He leaves a wife and young family to mourn his untimely fate.
