LATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 1864.
Across the Water.
The British Parliament will meet for the
despatch of business on the fourth of Feb
ruary, the very day which we predicted, a
fortnight ago, would be selected.
British Ministry will have a great deal to
do—not actively, but passively. They will
be met, on various sides, by various oppo
sition. One party will assail their foreign
policy, which, during the last six months,
appears to have been lett, almost without
restriction, in the hands of Earl RUSSELL.
Another party will attack them on the
score of retrenchment, always a welcome
subject out of doors, because, if successful,
it carries with it some repeal of taxation.
The advocates of Secession will probably
swell the cry against them, because they
have not yet acknowledged the South, (not
yet the "great nation" that Mr. GLAD
vroxy, saw, with his mind's eye,) and be
cause they have made a respectable show
of preserving neutrality in English ports, at
least, for they have not thought fit to inter
fere with the blockade runners who make
Nassau and other Bahama Islands' ports
their rendezvous and warehouse places.
Lastly, they will be met by an opposition,
organized Yorkshire, partly by Sir PRANK
euossim and Lord Honoscron, (a baronet,
and a baron of their own spick-and-span
creation,) the object of which is to force
them to introduce that much needed mea
sure of Parliamentary Reform, on the plau
sible promise of carrying which, PALMER
wrox and his followers defeated the Derby-
Disraeli Government, and themselves took
°Mee in 1850.
The 'Saturday Review thinks that thera
was some truth in the- recent report that
Mord RUSSELL was about leaving the Fo
reign Office, and that PAT.itrimsrox's urgent
request for him to remain until after Parlia
ment met was suggested by a desire that
EITESELL should be his own defender, while
still in office, without throwing the burden
of defence, or of apology, upon colleagues
whom he had quitted, and who, if the truth
were known, would probably not exactly
break their hearts with grief if he left them.
The Saturday Review cIassesRUSSELL among
" Thelnevitables,"—public men who, when
their party comes into office, are certain to
fall into some berth of emolument and ho
nor. It says : "A very short time ago, it
seemed not unlikely that Lord Russunt,
would retire from the Foreign pm oe, and
there were some reasons why it might be
desirable that he should cease to hold the
scale of that department It is suspicious
that the only people . who praise him unre
servedly are the thorough going partisans
of the Federal Government."
'lle Saturday Review is mistaken in this
last assertion ; here in America we com-
plain of the slowness and incertitude of
Lord RUSSELL. The _Review adds "If
we lost Lord RUSSELL, we should be almost
certain to have one of two great ineivita
hies. Either the present ministry would
last, and we should have Lord CLA
xtßumx or Lord DERBY come into office,
and <we should have Lord MALHEs
-131311.Y. It is the thought of these two
amiable noblemen that inspires us with
content 'They are the disease we do not
want, and to avoid which we are ready
to bear gently and humbly with Lord Rus
sEEL. For, with all his faults, there is a
certain force in Lord RUSSELL. In his acts,
in his speeches, in his character, there is
an astonishing ignorance of the world and
of men; there is a want of the sense of, pro
portion between himself and the ends he
sets himself; there is an ineradicable Whig
unpleasantness. But he is never poor and
weak, and the mere creature of circum
stances and of others. He thinks for
himself; and carries his thoughts into
action= in spite of considerable oppo
sition from his colleagues. He is not afraid
either of the Times or the Emperor, or any
of the other great bogies of English minis
terial life. No human being could ever force
him to own that he made a mistake, and he
is prepared to defend himself, and all who
have acted with him and under him, against
all comers. If he thinks Germany right in
its quarrel with Denmark, he does not
trouble himself about decencies and pro
prieties, but lays down the law in a peremp
tory despatch from a German town. If he
considers Russia morally wicked, he says so
at once, just as a teacher at a Sunday-school
would say that a boy who had gone bird's
nesting during the instruction was very
naughty. If he thinks a Congress futile he
plumps out an abrupt refusal to attend. This
is not the manner of diplomacy, nor of good
sense and worldly wisdom, but it shows in
dependence and boldness. And a bold man
is often right simply because he is boll"
His foreign policy, the Sata?.day Review en
phatic,ally says, is rather popular than other
wise, for "a general consent pronounces
that if it has been full of error it has been
independent,and in the right direction." We
arc not sure that if Lord RUSSELL resigned
office, his successor would act as fairly
towards this country as he has acted—of
late.
Whoever is to blame, one man or many,
or whether Circumstance, BYRON'S " un
spiritual God," alone be responsible, -the
relations of England with foreign States is
the reverse of comfortable. The entente
cordiale with France may be said to be
ended, Russia has been well scolded on
account of Poland, but Lord RUSSELL, that
political pedagogue who brandishes, yet
ever spares the' rod, goes no farther there.
Prussia also has been lectured from Down
ing street. Germany is held at arm's length
because of the endeavor to transfer Schles
wig-Holstein from the new King of Den
mark to his relative, the Duke of A.ugusten,
burg, yet Denmark receives no assurance
that England will stand by the Treaty of
1852, by which the leading European Powers
choose a German Prince, of the junior
Glucksbourg line, to be eventual successor
to the then reigning King of Denmark.
Spain, it recent reports be true, means to
insist, at the Congress of Paris, that the
fortress of Gibraltar, which was seized
by England in 1704, shall be surren
dered to her Most Catholic Majesty,
ISA - BELLA IL, whose property it is,
and to whom it would be particularly ad
vantageous, as being the key to the Medi
terranean. Lastly, as the contending par-
ties in Japan have agreed that foreigners
shall be expelled, England must wage war
with the Japanese, or retire from that coun
try with her grievances =redressed, a con
summation not very probable.
NAPOLEON'S speech to the representatives
of Foreign Powers, assembled at the Tuileries
to greet him on New Year's Day, is extreme
ly pacific, for he expresses a strong hope that
the conciliatory spirit by which the different
'Sovereigns are animated will remove exist
ing difficulties and maintain peace. The
Emperor, whose every movement sometimes
has awful significance, particularly addressed
himself to Mr. Dkvrox, the American Min
ister, and said very impressively, that he
hoped the year 1864 would be a year of
peace and reconciliation in America.
How war with Germany can be avoided,
if Schleswig-Holstein be seized by armed
troops, in the name of the Duke of Angus
tenburg, is a mystery which puzzles many sa
gacious persons in Europe. After a certain
point, the Ring of Denmark must resist by
force, or consent to have his realm robbed
of nearly half its territories and two-thirds
of its whole population. The question id—
will the Powers, who placed the crown
upon this prince's head, support their own
solemn act, or will they hold back and allow
him to be plundered
Another probable European trouble is
dimly looming in the future, for Italy. Vic
'fine Estmexur,r. tells his people that the
year 1864 may give Italy the desired oppor
tunity—for .annexing Venetia and Rome.
We find GARIBALDI resigning his seat in
the Italian Parliament, and telling his con
stituents at Naples that hehopes soon to find
himself 'with the people in arms on the road
to Rome and Venice. At the same time,
Prince MURAT, nephew of NAPoLosar
cousin of NAPOLEON lIL , and son ofJOACIUM
)Emus', once King of Naples, addresses a
letter to certain adherents of his in Naples,
in which he more than hints that he was
but biding his time, to resume the diadem
his father lost in 1815. This missive has
been published, in the leading Paris papers,
without challenge from the Imperial cen
sorship, yet NAPOLEON 111. made Vreron
EMMANUEL King of Italy in 1859, and has
recognized his annexation of the Two Sici
lies, in 1860. There may be trouble yet be
tween Irrbron. KikaiAsztatt. and Murtmr.
The Congress.
Although NAPOLEON'S proposed Congress
of Sovereigns has been placed hors de com
bat, by the coldness of Austria, the politic
doubt of Russia, and the disdainful denial
of England, the projeet is to be carried out
in a different form. NAPOLEON'S very
magnificent idea was to have all the sove
reigns as his guests in Paris, which, under
his direction, has been so reconstructed as
now to rank as the most superb metropolis
in the world. He would have given them
sumptuous entertainments, so that his
magnificent hospitality would have gratified
each and all, and amid their enjoyment
would have endeavored to talk them over to
his way of thinking on various political
questions. He would have done business in
the midst of pleasure. Each potentate
would have been accompanied, of course by
at least one minister, and a new Treaty, to
replace that of Vienna, might easily have
been made—it was expected.
M. Drtouvw DE L'HITYS, NAPOLEON'S fo
reign:minister, has issued a new Circular
upon the Congress, in which he admits that
some sovereigns assented to the proposition,
that some demanded a programme, and that
England alone refused. He thanks the as
senting sovereigns ; he regrets the negative
of England ; he tenders to the other Powers
such explanation as was needful. " France,"
he says, " was not authorized to anticipate
the high jurisdiction of Europe. She was
far from wishing to establish herself as ar
bitmtor. Threatening dangers are evident
and it is not necessary to enumerate them.
It is incumbent on the Powers to fix these
questions or get rid of them. The Im
perial declaration of the sth of No
vember last, admitted of a general
or a partial acceptance. The general
acceptance was of a nature to produce a
general pacification; a salutary and honora
ble understanding would have been the es
sential result of the personal meeting of the
sovereigns." France might have acted by
herself, but prefers to regard the good dis
position of the sovereigns, and enter upon
the path of a common understanding
" France had nothing to ask for herself
she would, therefore, have made common
cause with all the sovereigns, in order to
bring about the reconciliation and the tune
liorations which might have prevented revo
lutions or war Was this an Utopia ? Re
cent events prove the contrary. They justify
our provisions. The King of Denmark dies ;
passions axe aroused ; the Governments
balance undecided between the letter of
Treaties and the national sentiment of their
country." After another taunt at England,
M. DEODYN DE L'Huvs concludes with a
hope that the sovereigns will request their ,
Foreign Ministers to come to an understand-
ing upon,,the questions to be discussed, in
order that the conference may have more
chance of leading to a practical result. ,
There will probably, be a Congress of diplo
matists, for the affairs of Europe are becom
ing very complicated. Not alone the troubles
arising out of the endeavor to take Schles
wig-Holstein from Denmark, and annex it
to the German Confederation, but the at
tempt to govern Prussia by violating the
Constitution, the Polish rebellion, the agi
tation in Hungary, the financial difficulties
in Italy, and the impatience of Venetia to
resume her position as part of Italy, com
bine to make a Congress not undesirable.
The diffieulty is that almost every European
Power distrusts while it fears France, its
overtures reminding them of the plausible
invitation
I , Will you walk into my parlor? said the spider to
the fly."
Although the European rulers generally
have declined to visit NAPOLEON, one of
them is likely to honor Paris with his com
pany in April. The Sultan has intimated
his purpose of being NAPOLEON'S guest for
for a few weeks, and this will attract multi
tudes to Paris—much to the delight of NA
rormoN, who knoWs that provided the Pa
risians have abundance of cheap excitement,
they have little desire to conspire against
authority.
Slave Emancipation in Surinam.
The policy of emancipation is unfolding
and developing itself. It is like a huge and
beautiful flower, constantly opening and
maturing, but with " all its sweetest leaves
yet folded." The substance of the news
received from the Dutch colonieg goes to
substantiate this. " A very important
treaty," it will be seen, " was concluded
between the American and Netherlands
Governments, by which it is arranged that
the colonial authorities of Surinam shall re
ceive such of the emancipated American
slaves as may be willing to work on their
plantations. It is inferred that a very
large number of the freed slaves of the
Southern States of America will avail them
selves of the facilities offered them to make
engagements with the Dutch planters. Such,
indeed, is the extent of territory in burin=
awaiting cultivation, that were all the slaves
of the Southern States able to avail them
selves of the facilities now offered them,
they would find abundance of remunerative
labor in that luxuriant and progressing set
tlement."
Whatever arrangement may in future
be made with respect to slavery, one thing
is certain, that it is an institution abhorred
by God, and which will one day be ab
horred by man universally. It is an impe
diment in the way of the Union, and Presi
dent LINCOLN'S Emancipation Proclamation
is a huge effort in the removal of that impe
diment. We are proving, as other nations
have proved, that it is a curse, and not a
blessing, and that, consequently, no nation
systematically practising it can expect ulti
mately to thrive. It carries death in itself.
And yet here the old question of fate and
free-will comes in. In this case they dove
tail and work together more harmoniously
and unquestionably than ever. Whatever
May be in store for emancipated slaves,
nothing so bad can be in store for them as
slavery. The Union, whose restoration the
Emancipation Proclamation will help to
effect, will be the nation to promulgate the
measures which shall banish forever from
the earth one of the greatest abhorrences
which ever lifted up its head in the sight of
God.
WE SHOULD DEARLY LOVE to know who
is the " party" responsible, first and last,
for the non-removal of the ashes. Not that
we should desire his personal acquaintance.
Far from it, for we cannot believe that such
intercourse would subserve the cause of good
morals or good manners. But we should
like to know'who he is, what he is, where
he lives, and all about him. Nor are we
alone in this desire. Hundreds of citizens
are agitated with the same wish. They are
tired of seeing ash-barrels lining highways
and byways, and growing up as thick as
mushroons. They are tired of drearily an
ticipating the day when they shall all be re
duced to• the condition of the miller who
wears a white hat, barrels of ashes, o and
not barrels of flour, being the prime
cause in their case. They are tired of pay
ing away all their postage-currency to spas
modic individuals who contract to clear
away ashes at their own sweet will. They
are tired of bargaining with grocers for
defunct flour-barrels. They are tired of
constructing ash-bins in their cellars, thereby
conducing to the simultaneous breaking
down of the State-House bell and the en
ergetic Fire Marshal. The-principal thing
they are not tired of is writing an account
of their grievances to editors, and inquiring
of each other " why ain't something done ?"
This why has not yet been satisfactorily
answered. It has not been answered at all.
The atmosphere of Philadelphia is flavored
with ashes. As a nation we are advancing
to prosperity :now. We ought to rejoice
rather than mourn. For this reason, then,
if for no other, let these symbols of weeping
and wailing be put out of sight, or we shall
not have any eyes or lungs to cry for joy
on the happy day when the Union shall be
restored. . •
The Pope's Reply to Jefferson Davis.
In the answer, dated December Od, 186;
of Pope Pitts IX. to the letter addressed to
him by the rebel President, September 23d,
1863, the Pope remarks : " May it please
God, at the same time, to make the other
peoples of America and their rulers, reflect
ing seriously how terrible is civil war, and
what calamities it engenders, listen to the
inspirations of a calmer spirit, and adopt
resolutely the part of peace. As for us, we
shall not cease to offer up the most fervent
prayers to God Almighty that He may pour
out upon all the peoples of America the
spirit of peace and charity, and that He will
stop the great evils which afflict them. We,
at the same time, beseech the God of mercy
and pity to shed abroad upon you the light
of His grace." Loyal citizens of the United
States, North and South, do reflect how
terrible civil war is, and what calamities it
engenders. They have already listened to
the inspirations of a calm spirit, and can
listen to the inspirations of no calmer one.
Moreover, they have resolutely adopted the I
part of peace, but only of that peace
which is honorable in itself and acceptable
at the hand of God. We feel assured
that no prayers can be more fervent than
those which are offered up in all quarters
for a prevalence of the spirit of peace and
charity. We sympathize in the petition
that the God of mercy and pity will shed
abroad upon the heart of President DAvra
and • his cohorts the light of His grace.
The answer to this petition is much needed.
The hosts which JEFF DAVIS has mar
shalled may not indeed share the fate of the
Assyrians of old, and melt away like snow;
but their resistance cannot long be main
tained with the slightest hope of success.
Indeed this hope is dying now. The
prayer of the Pope on behalf of JF. I FF
Dil - rs is one of the most appropriate that
was ever matte. The day will come when
that aspiring potentate will perhaps feel the
truth of this, and will begin to apply him
self to wisdom when it is too late.
A WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT of the
New York Tribune remarks that the rebel
authorities "are undoubtedly satisfied that
Richmond is not so safe or defensive a place
for their capital as Columbia. At this place
the State of South Carolina engaged in the
construction of a State-house on a magnifi
cent scale, but soon after the beginning of
the war the work was suspended." The
unfinished South Carolinian State-house is
but an emblem of the Southern Confede
racy. But there is this difference between
the unfinished State-house and the Conlede
racy of which it was meant to be the repre
sentative capitol: The fabric of rebellion
will not only never be finished, but it will
soon be utterly demolihsed, and loyal hands
will sweep it from the face of the earth, and
raise above the completed State-house of
South Carolina the flag of the Union.

The House Committees—The Tax, &c.
Two delegations were before the Ways and Means
Committee of the House this morning, urging that
the tax shall be laid on crude oil, instead of the re•

The New Pacific Mail Route.
The bill introduced by Mr. Wilson" of Oregon,
in the House, provides for a daily mail, by four-horse
stages, from Fort Bridger, in Utah, to Dalles City,
Oregon.
The route runs through a region hitherto con
sidered the heart of the American wilderness, but
now lined with a population of about seventy-five
thousand. It passes through the most important
mining portion of Idaho and Eastern Oregon; and
these regions contain the most productive placer
mineion the western slope to the navigable waters
of the Columbia river.
It is claimed that this avail will supply the popu.
lation of the Willamette Valley about ten days
sooner than by the present route via California, and
in a proportionally less time for the interior. The
bill has been referred to the Post Office Committee.
Cavalry Operations.
COL Palter WYNDHAM, recently relieved from
his command in the Army of the Potomac, has com
menced a work on the operations of the cavalry,
sensing notices to the different eitieete requesting
them to furnishrhim with fullparticulars, &o. This
coming to the knowledge of the War Department,
an order prohibiting Col. Wyuntreor from any such
proceedings in violation of army orders was served
upon htm.
Pilot Pedricies Widow.
Among the contingent expenses of the War De
partment for 1863, as exhibited by the report, is an
item of one thousand dollars, paid to the widow of
Pilot Papaws., of the steamer Escort, as a reward
for the relief of the beleagured garrison at Washing
ton, N. C. The entire sum of contingent expenses
is one hundred and seventy-seven thousand dollars.
Commission for the Court of Claims.
Colonel S. B. FREEMAN, formerly of Philadelphia,
has been appointed Commissioner for the Court of
Claims for the District of Columbia.
Disloyalty Admonished.
Gov, CUNNING, formerly of 'Utah, when applying
for the last quarter's pay duo him, waa notified by
the United States Treasurer that he should not pay
him unless he toek the oath of allegiance, inasmush
as he had been charged with disloyalty. This action
on the part of the Trearurer, which is sanctioned by
higher authority, raised a very nice point, and one
of marked interest to Copperhead legislators.
Sioux Troubles in Canada.
About one thoussed rebellious Sioux, fleeing from
the Union army in Minnesota, have crossed the Ca
nada line, and are now causing much trouble in the
vicinity of Selkirk. Some time ago permission was
asked of the British Government to cross the line
with our troops in order to prevent suck outrages as
are now taking place.
After consultation with the Home Government,
Lord Lvoxa replied that such permission could not
be granted. Efforts have been made to persuade the
Sioux to return to our Territory, but the Indians
reply that if they come back they will be killed, and
they might as well die there.
Longstreet Not Reinforced.
The statement telegraphed from Chattanooga that
LONGSTRB2T had been reinforced by troop' from

Although it has been decided that the amnesty of

THE FORWARDING OF SUPPLIES TO THE
The Baltimore American of yesterday morning .
Bays:
We are gratified to be able to announce to our
readers that the flag-atruce.boat New York was
deapatched from Fortress Monroe on Wednesday, in
charge of the indefatigable Col. Mulford, with over
one thousand - boxes and barrels of supplies for our
prisoners at Richmond. The boxes nil Packages
sent to our care are being daily forWirded. The
Baltimore and Norfolk Steam-Packet Company eon
vey all our boxen,'lree of charge, to Fortress Mon
roe, and the Adams Express Uompany daily call at
the American office with their wagons, to take them
to the boat free of charge also. After their delivery
to us there is no charge for forwarding to their desti
nation. Those at a distance, who may be disposed
to entrust us with the packing and forwarding of
boxes from Baltimore, can enclose the necessary
funds, with the assurance that their wishes will be
promptly attended to. All such persons had better
indicate the articles they would prefer having sent.
As to clothing, there need be no uneasiness on this
score. Our information from returned prisoners,
both from Libby Prison and Belle Island, leads us
to believe that the supplies of clothing forwarded by
the Government have been faithfully delivered to
the men, and that they have an abundarfee for pre
sent need to prevent "suffering.
The City being Gradually Destroyed by
Private information received here from rebel
sources, is to the effect that Charleston is being gra.
dually destroyed by the fire of our batteries. On the
26th of December two blocks of buildings on Sing
street, in the heart of the city, belonging to the
estate of the late Senator Butler, were destroyed
by fire kindled by Gilmore's shells. Several large
warehouses, occupied by the Confederate Govern
ment, and filled with army supplies, were also
destroyed about the same time. The city is almost
deserted by all except the military. The poorer
classes have erected temporary accommodations
in the suburbs out of the range of the fire. Great
destitution prevails among them. The, telegraph
operators in Charleston have been notified not to

DUST 6ROVR—GBNORAT, ISSDOWIOK'S LUTTER.
HEADQUARTERS SIXTH ARMY CORPS,
BRANDY STATION, Jan. 12, 1864.
My DRAB GENERAL: I have seen in the columns
Of tbe New York Tribune an article in relation to the
operations in the late advance to Mine run, which is
grossly unjust, not only to you, but to the general
commanding the Army of the Potomac. I do not
recall the exact terms of the article in question, but
it charged, in substance, thatyou were too much un
der the influence of liquor, during the battle or Locust
Grove, to understana the position of affairs, and it
purported to be based on a conversation had with
May Gen. Meade. While lam fully confident that
no such conversation could have occurred, I never
theless feel bound to place in your possession my
emphatic testimony as to the utter falsity of the
charge. I had ample opportunities of observing you
during that engagement. I had been directed to
support your advance, and joined you in person at
the commencement of the Ration, and was with you
for some time after its close. During all this time
I saw nothing in your manner or management of
affairs to give ground for the suspicion that you
were in the slightest degree under the influence or
liquor. Oa the contrary, the dispositions made by
you of your own troops, and such of mine as were
placed at your disposition, and your own personal
bearing during the action, were such as to enable me
to speak with absolute certainty on the subject of
the accusation to which I have referred, and to pro
nounce it wantonly false in every particular.
I am, very truly,

Signal Officer of the Department of the Gulf.
Accounts received to-night from the Army of the
Potomac show that the reported movement of Stu

that he has a sufficient number of men even for a
less arduous duty than a campaign on our right. If
a cavalry movement is progressing in that direction,
it cannot be of much magnitude.

According to the Paris journal, 'La France, the fol.
lowing curious correspondence has taken place be
tween President Davis and the Pope :
=J•)
RICHMOND, Sept. 23, 1863. •
VERT VENERABLE SOVEREIGN FORTIFY: The
letters which you have written to the clergy of New
Orleans and New York have been communicated to
me, and I have read with emotion the deep grief
therein expressed for the ruin and devastation
caused by the war which is now being waged by the
United States against the States and people which
have selected me as their President, and your orders
to your clergy to exhort the people to pestle and
charity. I am deeply sensible of the Chrietian
charity which hag Impelled you to this reiterated
appeal to the clergy. it is for this reason that I
feel it my duty to express personally, and in the
name of the Confederate States, our gratitude for
such sentiments of Christian good feeling and love,
and to assure your Holiness that the people, threat
ened even on their own hearths with the most cruel
oppression and terrible carnage, is desirous now, as
it has always been, to see the end of this impious
war ; that we have ever addressed prayers to Heaven
for that issue which your Holiness now desires;
that we desire none of our enemy's possessions, but
that we fight merely to resist the devastation of
our country and the shedding of our best blood, and
to force them to let us live in peace under the pro
tection of our own institutions , and under our laws,
which not only insure to everyone the enjoyment
of his temporal rights, but also the free exercise of
his religion. I pray your Holiness to accept, on the
part of myself and the people of the Confederate
States, our sincere thanks for your efforts in favor
of peace. May the Lord preserve the days of your
Holiness, and keep you under his divine protection.
JEFFERSON DAVIS.

ILLUSTRIOUS AND HONORABLE PRESIDENT—
Salutation. We have just received, with all suits.
ble welcome, the persons sent by you to place in our

What feeling. of joy and gratitude you were nal

as you were informed of our letter. to our venerable
brothers, John, Archbishop of New York, and John,

civil war which has broken out in those countries,
in order that the American people may obtain peace

It is particularly agreeable to us to see that you,

ple, are animated with the same desires of peace and

'KOSSUTH% PROCLAMATION IN HUNGARY—EXCITE.
o==!
The following is the text of the proabonation
honed in the name of Roesuth which has been re ,
leered to in a telegraphic despatch. It is published
in the Alleanza, of Milan—a journal established by
the Hungarian emigrants in Italy—appears to be
considered a genuine document:
DT ORD/01 OF LOUIS ROFIFUTO, TB 'NATIONAL COM-
NULTTBB OB liIO73I.III7DIINCH TO WILIE NATION
Fidelity to the flag of 1849 survives in the heart of
our nation. Refusing . to accept any kind of com
promise, the great majority of the nation is firmly
resolved to shake off the detested yoke of German
domination. But as the external signs of our na
tional life have in recent times not been in harmony
with that resolution, our natural allies abroad have
conceived doubts as to the firmness of our designs.
These doubts have been the greatest obstacle to the
efforts of our government tending to the deliverance
of the country. The removal of that obstacle be
comes an imperious necessity before the new turn
of European events—a turn offering. a prospect full
or promise to all the peoples Who groan under a
foreign yoke. We must give a sign of life in order
that our natural allies may be convinced that
against the common enemy they nfay surely count
upon the arms of the Magyars. We must hold our
selves in readiness '
in order that the ties of the ter
rified Austrian may not entangle our nation in the
snare. We mustprepare to be in a state to seize
energetically the favorable opportunity.
For these purposes the Governor, Louis Kossuth,
abolishing every previous order, and having judged
it necessary to decree the formation Of a new gene
ral committee, makes known, by the present docu
ment, to the nation, that in consequence of that or
der the general committee of independence is consti
tuted; that it his for its end the realization of the
declaration of independence of 1849; and that, full
of resolution and ready for all sacrifices, it has taken
in hand the direction of affairs,
according to the in
structions received, or to be received , from the chosen
governor of a country. The committee expects, from
the patriotic sentiment of the nation, that the orders
emanating from it will be promptly executed, that
its /9041 1 49tiOnit will be followed, and that its mea-
Mira Will be speedily accomplished. At the same
time it calls upon the enemies, open and concealed,
of the flag of 1849, to abstain from any plot or in
trigue if they would not incur the penalty inflicted
upon traitors. At all events, the general committee
of independence declares that it will know how, and
that it is determined to secure obedince to its orders
and the acoomplishment on the measures which it
must take. Long live the nation and good hope. Let
every honest natriot prepare himself for action. Our
motto is-1849 and victory. .
Done at Rude Perth, the 24th Tfec., 1863.
The article in the dilemma, which contains this
document, is published under the significant title,
" , Hungary Awakes." The excitement produced by
this unexpected event is greater at Vienna than
anywhere else. Some persons speak of proclaim
ing the state of siege, which would be extended to

THE DEATH OP NAZI. CHABLEMONT, COTEMPOILLIZY

lie died at the age of 90, another instance of the 10m ,
gevity so frequent in the higher clams in this coun
try. How mad must have been the old age of an Irish
Earl, who loved Ireland, and had no power to help
her. There is something pitiable in the slow decay
of a nation by oppression, famine, and the exile of
her children. I sympathize with those who would
rather see a nation perish with her brave flag Eying,
arms in her hands, and breast to the foe. But I see
no chance for Irishmen to raise a flag to get arms,
or to make any light, except on foreign soil ; and
then they are rather apt to tight for the sake of fight

in India, and elsewhere, as it may happen; loyal to

Pensive,. impracticable, and cumbersome bill. He
wanted a military conscription bill. This tvas not. such

PARADE OP THE NINETY-VITTH.—The
veteran Ninetprifth Regiment P. V. will make a
street parade today. „It was the intention of the
people of Philadelphia to give these veterans a
handsome reception, but it was not in human power
to control the wind and the weather. A tremendous
snowstorm mantled the earth in viten white for
the space of over a thousand miles. Railroads
were blocked to) ; intense cold succeeded the snow,
and rivers were speedily icebound. The routine of
travelling was interrupted for hundreds of miles.
The veterans, already on their way home, were thus
under the control of the elements. All the flue ar
tengements made to give them first-classatriotic
receptions were annulled by the force o f drown-
Stances beyond human power.
The parade of today will, therefore, be the more
interesting, as the veteran 95th arrived in Phila
delphia in the night time. They have done their
work nobly, and added lustre by the Union arm,.
Their voice is " still for War," and will be until the
"stars and bars" give way to that glorious ensign
of the free world, the American . flag. The line of
march will be taken up at ten o'clock this morning,
at Decatur and Market streets. The following is
the route of the parade, as agreed upon last eve.
Wog : Proceed from Decatur street up Market to
Seventh, up Seventh to Arch, up Arch to Seven
teenth, down Seventeenth to Spruce, down Spruce
to Bread, up Broad to Chestnut, down Chestnut to
Third, down Third to Spruce, down Spruce to Se
cond, down Second to the Volunteer Refreshment
Saloon. After partaking of a collation, they will
reform and march up Washington avenue, to Fifth
street, and up Fifth to Chestnut, and there dismiss.
Tog 147Tti REGIMENT, P. V.—The ft:Lem
berg of this regiment have re. enlisted again for three

they were transferred to the 147th. fEntiPpl'a. Bat

from the Times,
stating that "Rev. Mr. Hall, a mem
ber of the Chris tian Commission," had caused reports
derogatory to General Frenoh to be circulated is
such a way as to convey the impression that they
were originated by General Meade
On an examination of our reconisi we and Met no
such person was ever in the employ of the Christian
Commisreen. Moreover, the rules laid down for the

In justice to the Christian Commission, we hops
you will publish this statement.

INPOIMANT TO Lava INSURERS--FACTS VERSES
FICTION- THE 'UNFAIRNESS OF The STATEMENTS
OF THE IIitYPIVAL LIFE 'NaI:MANCE COMPANY OF
NEW YORE.—The person referred to in the last
article published by that Company Wee probably
aged 87, and insured for .10,000 In a good note Com.
pany. Premium $283.00; dash payment, $141.80,
and note gar same amount. The Mutual Life
charged the same person $286:70 to insure the same
amount. Bad he desired to withdraw from that
Company at the end of the first year nothing
would have hem; returned ; at the end of two years
about one•third , of his premiums would have been
paid hack, hut aupposing that Company to be as
Aberal as note Companies, the facto, at the end of
the first year, would have been as follows :
Cash paid to Mutual Life
Cash returned on surrender
Actual cash paid to the Company $l9l 14
Cash paid to note Company 146 60
-----
Difference in fever of the person insured in
the note company $49 54
In 1860 Mr. William Hart Carr insured a person
aged forty.seven in the New ENGLAND MUTUAL
LIFE COMPANY for $5,000, premium $206, cash
payment 4103, note for same amount. Before
the note became due the person died, and his
heirs received $6,000, , less the unpaid note, or about
4,800! In a cash company $lO3 would have in.
awed only $2,600.
This 'policy was issued by the New England Mu
tual on the certificate and recommendation of
prominent physician of this city, selected by Mr.
Wm. Hart Carr, and at the time of making- the ap
plication it was distinctly stated that the applicant
preferred a note Company. The feet that he
had been declined by the Mutual Life was carefully
and artfully concealed. I then had entire . Confi
dence in Wm. Hart Carr, and did not suppose he
would be a party to practice a cruel deception.
Only one death has occurred (a private in the 67th
Regiment, P. V.),Among the large number insured
on the medical examination — of Dr. Stroud. The
fact still remains unrelated, that the heirs received
from the New England Mutual $2,400 more than
the Mutual Life would have paid.
The pamphlet of the N. E. BL, pages 13 to 17,
condemns the system of taking a note on personal
credit, but approves and practices the plan of taking
a Dole for half the premium, Tun POLICY BEISIG
Tun SECURITY, as may be'seen on page 12 of same
pamphlet. This fact has been overlooked (perhaps
intentionally) by the all•cash Companies.
I will be glad to furnish the pamphlet to any per
son taho may cell at the office of the Company.

The great popularity of purple yarn gloves has made
that particular color of yarn scarce, and, in fact, for
come weeks past it has been out of the market, in
consequenee of the great demand for it. Mr. John

streets, has just received a fresh . supply of this
favorite Yarn, of avery beautiful shade of purple ;
also a full line of stocking Yarns of all the desirable
_shades, beside, a Yarn adapted for military pur
poses, to which we would invite the special atten
tion of Societies, as Mr. Finn makes a considerable
deduction in prices in their favor.
