Latest advices from Port Royal state that the Yankee fleet now there numbers 123 vessels, incjuding the frigates and 20 gun- boats. The rest are chiefly transports. There are now 30,000 men collected there aud more are expected.

The condition of the Federal finances at the close of the late session of Congress, is thus stated in the Washington news :

‘* The Appropriations made by the Thirty- seventh Congress are as follows :

Extra Session, July, 1861, about $264,- 000 00d.

Long Session, ending 17th July, 1862, $913 000 000,

Short Session, ending March 4, 1863, $1,- 100 000,000.

Receipts from duties on imports, internal revenue, direct taxes, sale of public lands, &e., as estimated from March 4, 1861, to July 1, 1864, $320,000,000,— which, de- ducted from the above sum, will leave the amount of indebtedness up to July 1, 1864, including the $70,000,000, debt left by the last Administration $2,027 ,000.000."’

It is stated that between £500,000 and £600,000 of a contemplated advance of £3,- 000,000 to the Confederate Government, has been negotiated at Paris and Frankfort by Messrs. Erlanger & Co. The amount is to be | secured by cotton at Sd. per pound, which is tu be delivered on the cessation of the block-

[From the Richmond Examiner, Feb. 10.]

We have fairly entered on the third stage indi- cated by the President in his message, viz., that of | a war of subjugation and extermimation. The) people of the Confederacy, tselated and shut up| trom allthe world, have now to encounter the! most horrible ard demoniae effort for the assassin-| ation of a whole race that history has yet recorded, | or we believe will ever have to record, till history | grows grey. For it is not every century that shows the world a Yankee nation. Yea, the Con- federate people have now at last to strip for battle; it is the people that must this time very literally conquer or die.

No Loot it would be agreeable to believe that this last stage of the war will soon be over, and must end in the speedy destruction of our intended murderers. But loek round the map of the Con- federacy, and judge if we can soothe ourselves with this belief. In the very heart of the country our gallant sentinel of the Mississippi river, hervic little Vicksburg, has sustained, indeed, and baffled two tremendous sieges; but a third time her citizens see pouring in around them from the north aud the west enormous masses of the beleaguer- ing foe, iron floating batteries again erowd upon her, and even as you read these words, two hun- dred heavy guns may be thundering upon her defences, a hundred thousand mén may be pressing to the storm of her ramparis. Again she will drive them off, perhaps, and remain the famous maiden city of this hemisphere, the bulwark of the west. So be it! But the vision we see on the Mississippi doea not look like exhaustion er des- pair ou the part of the foe just yet.

And, again, look at the wouth of the mighty river. New Orleans is not a waiden city, alas! the base rag that has so often been rent and trampled betore Richmond and before Vicksburg flies from all the towers of that deflowered city. Hordes of hungry Yankees, armed to the teeth, sit in the shades of her oratge groves, and station negro guards over the mansions of her noblest citizens. Ali her best and fairest have to lament every day that their goodly city had not been laid in ashes before it beeame a haunt of obscene creatures. Nosignof relaxation there! And but a short way off, Mobile, by the shore of her spaci- ous bay, keeps diligent watch and ward, expecting in the light of each morning sun to see the thrice accursed stars and stripes gleaming through the smoke of a bombarding squadron. All along the gulf and round the coast of Florida this omini- present enemy, who is said to have just been playing bis last card, is shutting up every river and planting his guns on every strong place. Sa- vanah, shut in from the sea by Fort Pulaski, in the hands of the same inveterate Yankee, listens for the first boom of the artillery wffich is to level her walls with her sandy soil; and Charleston, grimly erect, but with beating heart, stands wait- ing the onset, of the great armada. ‘These few acres of old Oyster Pout, it seems, already swept and devastated by conflagration, are to be the object and the prize of the most potent armament by far that American waters have ever seen, TH very moment, it may be the black Monitor batteri No sign of relaxation, or of discouragement and des- pair in the enemy here. Pass further, and you will find the whole coast from Charleston to Nortulk, and every river to the head of tide waters, aud every creek and sound formed by the sea Islands, swarwing with their gunboats and trans- ports, ready to pour in masses of troops wherever there is a chance of plunder, bridge burning aud general havoe.

| THE THIRD STAGE OF THE WAR. | TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN BUFFALO. |

On Friday last, 27th ultimo, the house of a Mr. Douglas or Donald Frazer was burned in Buf- falo, and his wife and three children were found

ead in the ruins. It was at first supposed that they had perished in the flames, but although their bodies were sadly burned, a post-mortem examin- ation bas revealed the terrible fact that the throats of the whole four were ent, leaving no doubt that the house was fired in order to conceal the mur-

er. Frazer, it appeared, was once engaged in business in Hamilton, but about twelve months ago went to Buffalo. From the testimony of aa acquaintance, it appears that he had about $5,000 in his possession. it was thought at first that he had left Buffalo for Canada—as he frequently had business to transact over there—the night before the fire; but at the inquest he was proved to have been at his house at half-past five on Thursday evening.” As he has not been seen since, and as all efforts to find him have proved unavailing, the | suspicion of murder rests upon him. His most intimate acquaintances, however, cannot point to anything in bis past life to justify that suspicion, unless it be that he appears to have laboured under religious excitement. The Buffalo Courier says:— The missing man is spoken of by those who knew him as possessed of rather marked reasoning powers, and of kindly and quiet disposi- tion; but irom certain religious tracts in our pos- session, it is evident that on religious subjects he was a monomaniac. The title page of one of these pamphlets, illustrated with ths picture of a bible, bears the fullowing: ‘Search the Serip- tures. The Opening of Prophecy or Word of God, Four letters Free of Charge.” This was pub- lished by Seobell & Dack, 37 Park Row, New York, and dated Canada, A. D., 1861, ‘The first letteris headed, “ He that rejecteth thee rejecteth me,”’ and opens witli the following strange para- graph:

“ Douglas Frazer, called forth of God and raised up from darkness to the light to declare his ways.”’

That he believed himselt specially delegated of God to illumine the wertd, is evident from the fol- lowing paragraph :

* And now, before proceeding any further, let me say to my readers, that I have received a command from the Lord to write. And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying ‘‘ write, write.”’ [ was moving away, when the words were repeated as if close to my ear, when | became as a statue; | and there appeared to be a light shiniug round about me, for the Lord had covered my eyes and 1 was as one that is blind. Before setting forth what the Lord Almighty signified to me on this vccasion, as wellas those things which were shown me previous ly thereto, either by word or otherwise, from the Lord. Itis best that ny readers should become some what acquainted with me through ify writings.”’

Other quotations in the same tone are given.— Toronto Globe.

STRANGE AND Sap Coinctpexce.—It will be remembered by many in Miramichi, that in Feb- ruary, 1859, two young women, daughters of Mr. William Corry, Shipwright of Chatham, died about the same time, were laid out together, and | placed side by side at the same time iu the same }grave. On.Monday last, just four years trom the time of the sad circumstance referred to, taco others of the same family—Daniel, aged 26, and his sister, aged 27—died also. They were laid out in the same bed, side by side, and the concourse of people to witness the sad and melancholy sight | was immense. The two coffins contaiuing their remains, covered by the one Pall, were removed to the Burial Ground on Tuesday morning last, followed by an unusually large unmber of sympa- thising friends aud were laid side by side in the same grave.—Miramicht Times.
