gfttgailli fost. PII'TaBWB«HI THURSDAY. DECEMBER 15, SBCI. Restoration of Peace and Union, On Monday last Hon. Henry Wintei Davis of the Baltimore district, (Md ) introduced into the United States Housi or Representatives a series or resolu tions, tjie object of which wsb tin laudabjp one or restoring peace am. union to our bleeding and divided coun try. The telegraphic synopsis of these rt aalves informs us that they propose a convention of the States as the agency by which these ends are to be attained, and they then propose to refer to the consideration of such convention, as i basis of a .settlement of all difficulties among the States; numerous amend ments to the Constitution are arranged in eleven separate paragraphs. “The first paragraph purposes to form tht States of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont into-one State; the States o! Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con necticut into one State, and the State> of Maryland, Delaware and the eastern shores of Virginia into one State.” The other ten propositions, contained in Mr. Davis’ bill, need not be alluded to at present, for we apprehend that the first will never meet the approbation oi the Abolition majority of the House Now while the leaders of that parly, are laboring to reduce the Southern States to a territorial condition, in ordei to destroy their political influence, they will not be fouud willing to lessen theii own, but to increase it if they can. The whole of New England does not contain as much population, as the State of New York; hut notwithstatui ing, she haa six States, which give her twelve United States Senators, or six times as many as New York. In the Senate she wields as much power in mere votes, as New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri united, while he? influence upon the legislation of the country and the Gov ernment, generally, is greater than the remainder of the States combined. In fact, since the present Abolition party attaiped control of the Government, the New England branch nl it has shaped its policy; at first, it is true, Mr Lincoln held out a while, hut he soon receded from his.posilion and he is now in the power of the rigid, exacting and unrelenting fanatics of the Sumner end Greely persuasion. The idea, t here fore, of those fleece fanatics yielding up their power, by curtailing their con gresstonal numbers, Is about the last thing they would think of considering. “The last dollar and the last man” — barring themselves and their dollars— they are willing and anxious to vote, in order to destroy a portion or theii enquiry; they are willing to see the en -_h:tirnSouth given to rapine, ronflagra ’ ' and -annihilation, and -willexperi .] compnncitions feelings at theii consummation; hut the repreaentativi >.evHndqualily, which gives New Englaind ~' r 'this- overwhelming power alluded to, that section will never yield, units? to do so, whiehis not,at present, at .all Uhely. But,- notwithstanding the poor prps '' pect ofthe adoption of Mr. Davis'hill, we that.be, has offered it for the -oonaideratioa of Congress- and the country. - It is ■ time that some one would stirf the question of peace.. We have hail three years qnd more of inces sant gabble about blood and slaughter, - - -and generally by miserable creatures ‘ who would grow faint at the sight of a wounded pigeon; let Congress reform this altogether, and let the able inen 01. . . that body endeavor -to secure what our own afflicted people so much require— .'thp speedy peace and tranquility of our bleeding conn try. iDterottag. Our youthful, sprightly and dashing co itemporary, the versatile Pittsburgh Uizcite, gave its readers a refresh ing ehapter yesterday, upon that most interesting of all subjects, “the en croachments of the slave power,” the late Judge Taney and the Dred Scott de cision. It is well to, allude to these In teresting topics, at least three times a week, beoause one nevertires of reading them. We remember the time when our neighbor.' used to devote all its leisure moments to exposing the enormities of Masonry ; that bug-bear served its day, and is .now no longer regarded aa being at all dangerous. By the way, suppos ing the Gazette—no-w that ‘‘slavery is dead”—would revive and publish some of its old stories about the abduction and murder of “Morgan.” Let it do something to vary its editorial enter tainment, and not lose its valuable space in defaming tbe patriots, like Benry Clay, who gave peace to tbe country by tbe passage of the Missouri Compromise. The difference between tbe statesmen of that and the Abolitionists of this, is tbat’Me'former’labored for the prosperity and unity >of their country, while the latter have been actuated solely by a deaire-for its prostration—and they have well nigh succeeded in their infamous proceedings. Their great English co adjutor, George Thompson, may well rejoice in the success of his Abolition undertaking. It appears from the recent report of the Commissioner of Pensions, that there are only five Revolutionary veterans, who participated in the war of American In dependence, now upon the rolls. It is altogether probable that the coming year, 1866,wi1l see the last survivor of the war of the Revolution gathered to hisfatbers, eighty nine years after Independence was declared. It is an impressive reflec tionupon human mortality, when we think that out of the generation of three lmlHobß-of people who witnessed, that event, only five survive.' Plundering Belies at Washington The Washington correspondent of the -U. Louis Republican gives a spirited recount of the petty stealing of “relics” i rom the Capitol and tbe White House, from which we quote as follows: j Anything belonging to Uajcle Sain that, can be concealed in a traveling trunk or iqueezed into a black carpet sack,-must be watched by a bull dog or a policeman, or otherwise is “spirited” away by the memento seekers. These people do not confine their filching to stones “lying around loose.” They get their knives i.o work on the satuary around and in ihe capitol, and a chip ofi small pieces of marble. They attack the ornamented and fluted columns; they carve into the cornices and sills, and scrape brass fill ings off from Roger’s bronzed doors Jtor do they confine to tbe capitol. They ransaok the departments ; hut here find ing themselves flanked by the vigilance I if watchmen and messengers, they hear down upon the White Ilouse, which un til recently was entirely unprotected against their thieving raids. They take every thing they can lay their hands on and put it in their pockets. If things sre not convenient to carry, they cut and Blash with knives and scissors, until they make them handy to steal. The rich lace and damask curtainß of the govern ment rooms are so curtailed by repealed cuttings and tearingsthat memento seek ers will now have to bring step ladders with them in order to get at them The gorgeous carpet is cut in some places and'nnravelled in others; chairs, sofas and divans are divested of a part of their coverings and ripped open ; the paper is skinned of the walls by the square yard ; and out of the twenty four brass Dracketstbat once supported the curtains only one remains. This destructive thievery became so aggravating that Old Abe took alarm, and ordered Marshal Lamon to take measures to prevent the cutting of his private apartments. Accordingly the Marshal had four police put on duty at the White House, who make arrests every day of persons caught in the act of cutting or tearing curtains, Ac. Tin other itav they arrested a female for scissoring a piece out of a damask cur tain, when she fainted right on their hands. It was a genuine faint, superin duced by the fear of exposure and dis grace, so they kindly let her go witli a reprimand. The next day-a soldier straggled in and tried to straggle out with a pretty foot rug under his over coat ;hc was turned over to tbe military, and no doubt pot a good dowsing nl cold water. Yesterday a gay clerk in one of the departments gallanted two pretty ladies into the court room, and seated them in chairs immediately in front of a iaee curtain. Shielded as he thought, from observation by their am ple crinoline, he cut a wrought flower from the curtain and gave it to one ol his companions, who quickly stowed it awoy in a capacious pocket. The next neighbor was a policeman, without uni form, who stepped up to the lady and asked for the stolen fragment at tin same time arresting Mr. Clerk. The iadv surrendered the article, aud tin clerk was then marched off In Marshall Lamon, who provided for his hearing before a magistrate this morning. The Marshal vows to make an example ol him. One is certainly needed, How Louis Napoleon is Altering Paris. A letter writer, in speaking of the ex tensive improvements now going on in Paris, under the influence of the Gov ernment, says: There are at this moment several acres of ground completely deserted of houses,.in one of the most densely in habited parts ol Pans, near the Havre Railway station, in the heart of the tow n Everything has been pulled down to make way lor the new Boulevard Hause mann, so called after the Prelect of Paris, and other new and splendid lines of thoroughfare. To look at the huge gap left and the havoc made, one would suppose that a battery of cannon had been playing upon the spot for twenty four hours. On the north side of Palis a small mountain is being leveled down and carted away to All up a valley on the south side, where a space of more than a mile square is preparing for new building sites, and will from an entirely new quarter of the capital. Besides the stupendous repairs, or rather restorations of the Cathedral of Notre Dame, and oT almost every other religious edifice in Paris, half a dozen new churches, some of them of gigantic size, are rising at different points. The new grand opera is costing millions and is rapidly urged forward. Then there is the prodigious task of re building the immense Hotel Dieu, or great city hospital the largest, perhaps, in the world. And again, in the north east of the town, in the midst of the great manufacturing ahd iron-forge dis trict, a new "People’s Park” la being laid out, formed of what are called the buttet or knolls of Saint Chaumont, very high rising ground, in a rough state and worked as chalk and gravel pits. More than twelve miles of rail and tram roads have been laid down upon this to bring it into order, and five hundred wagons drawn by steam engines and horses, with an immense corps of laborers, are at work upon it. All this, of course, involves indefinite outlay. There are parts of the town where the "oldest in habitant” quite loses himself, so wholly are they transformed. I passed through one of these the other day, and found police stationed to show people the way, which I was obliged to ask myself, after a fifteen years’ acquaintance ! All this is very wonderful and beautiful, but at the same time very costly. Effects of War A French historian gives the follow ing horrifying picture of the effects of war: War brings on famine; famine pesti lence; and this in turn reproduces fam ine. The year in which the massacres of Paris took place (1418), wretchedness, fright and diapair brought on an epide mic which is said to have carried off, in that city alone,Bo,ooo souls. They died in such numbers, and so fast, that it was necessary to dig large trenches in tbe burial grounds, into which they were cast by thirties and forties, packed like bacon, and scarcely Bprinkled over with earth. In 1419 there were no harvests gathered in. The husbandmen were dead or had fled. Provisions rose to a fearful price All over Paris were heard the pitiful lamentations of little children crying out “I am dying of hunger.” You might see on a dunghill twenty or thirty children, boys and girlß, perish ing of cold and hunger. In 1421 a like and severer famine. The men employ ed to kill the dogs were followed by crowds of poor, who, bs they killed, de vouring all, flesh and guts. Flocks of wolves scoured the fields, scratching up the corpses. They entered Paris by night. No fewer than 20,000 houses were untenanted. Beggars out numbeT tlie other persons. In tbe country la borers abandoned the fields, and said among themselves: “Let us fly to the woods with the wild beasts —farewell wives and children—let us do the worst we can —let ns give ourselves to the devil. A new quarter of Pompeii is now be ing brought to light. Among the mots recent discoveries is that of a magnifi cent temple of Juno,'in which between two and three hundred skeletons were found. The statues with which the temple is adorned ace hr- an excellent state of preservation-and plentifully decked with jewels. THE POST— PITTSBURGH, THURSDAY MORNING DECEMBER 15. 1864 The Treasury and the Currency. , la hisrremarks upon tin- relations of ; coin and the currem-y the Secretary of \ the Treasury;remarks that “whatever \ ' may have been the effect of a redundant ■circulation on the pr.ce of coin, other 'circumstances have exercised a greater and more deleterious influence. In the course ot a few days the price of this ar ticle rose from about $1,50 to $2,85 in oaper for the dollar in specie, iell in a short time to $1,87, and then again rose to $2,50." This the Secretary thinks was not owing to the redundancy of pa per, but to the Unpatriotic and criminal efforts of speculators, “.and probably all secret enemies.,’ In this statement the Secretary of the Treasury seems to have forgotten that in a state of war all enemies, open or secret, will be quite sure to watch lor every weak spot or opening for an attack upon the government. If our currency is the weak point, it is certain to be at tacked on that account. Every mer chant and banker kuows that he must keep his credit in such a condition that no rival can impugn or impair it,because the very knowledge that it is vulnerable will of necessity make even his best friends shy of trusting him. 9o long as it is in the-power of an enemy to decry paper so that no person will give more lliau one dollar in gold for two dollars and eighty five cents in paper, so long ~ur credit must suffer, and the United States government will have to pay at the rate of $2,85 for every dollar's worth of goods purshased with such paper. The only remedy is for the Govern ment itself, or its friends, to be ready to buy the paper currency on better terms. This is in reality the problem for the Secretary of the Treasury at the present time. It must, and we hope it will he, the great struggle of the Government to meet this difficulty, not by bills, such as those of Mr. Stevens, which display a singular ignorance of all the established principles ot political economy, and which therefore, must tend if at all to make matters worse, but hy efforts founded on well known principles ol rendering gold attainable by all those who need it at a cheaper rate. Wheu Hannibal was in the midst of his struggle with Rome, he opened a gold mine in Spain, and thus aided hit necessities. The necessity passed away, but the gold mine remained for ages, enriching Spain far more than the war had impoverished it. Now, as the Pie -ident well remarks, our gold mines have been enriching private individuals -mil the community to the amount ol one hundred millions. Our petroleum, it might he added, has been equal to many millions more. But;this has all I een managed in such a way as not to -slablish the credit of the Government paper —only that of individuals. An uc cidcntal failure to negotiate our bonds in Europe did lead the Government to buy some of this gold in California, and thus meet its bills in London A little gold, comparatively speaking, will go a long way in establishing credit where it is known that there is resolu tion on the part of the possessor to meet ,n specie every promise. This is what has made our 5-20's in such demand. It is a strange thing that while we are laboting to establish credit, we are giv mis away good lands for nothing, the most noble domains that ever nation was possessed of are yielding no reven uc It is said that the difficulties arc in superable in collecting a revenue in gold, This at least can be done. Let some ol the most valuable miDes he selected in unsettled territory and wotked by Government, where it will pay best. In like manner if on Government lands in the West, and really good territory can he found, let the Treasury Department to rrjd#*ni«h itixolf, unJ b^»s»«*»« strong in specie nut of its own soil. By care, in a low years the Government might huve net only coupons, hut .1 sound paper currency payable at siirtt in specie, with whit h ii could make anil pay contracts at one-third of the preseut prices. Let the present paper currency remain as it is lor the present, but let el • torts be made at once to firing back a specie currency for future contracts. Di redly specie is in demand it will reap pear, ami the future prices of all things will rest on a solid basis. This will ol itself eventually bring up the price o! <mr paper quite as fast can be done with out producing fresh confusion as to the values of things A Spartan Marriage Many of the laws of Lyrurgus, in con neclion .with this subject, would un doubtedly meet with the approbation of the fair sex of modern times. The time for marriage was fixed hy a statute, that ofthe man at about thirty or thirty-five years, that ofthe lady at about twenty, or a little younger. Ad men who cod tinned unmarried after the appointed lime were liable to prosecution, and all old bachelors were prohibited from be ing present at the public exercises of the Spartan maidens, and were denied tbe usual respect and honors paid to tin aged. "Why should 1 give you place," cried tbe young man to the old unmai iied gentleman, “when you have nn child to give place to me when I am old?” No marriage portions were giv en to any of the maidens’ so that neither poverty should prevent a gallant nor riches tempt him to marry contrary to his inclinations. The parents of three children enjoyed considerable immuni ties, and those with four children paid no taxes whatever— a regulation which all married men of large families will readily admit to lie most wise and equi table. Every marriage was preceded by a betrothal, as in other Greek cities, but the marriage itself was performed by the young Spartan carrying otfhis bride by pretended abduction, and lor some time afterward tbe wife continued to re side with her own family, and only met tbe hnßband on stated occasions. This extraordinary way of Bpending the hon ey-moon was first introduced by Lycur gus, te prevent the husband from wast ing too much of his time in his wile's society during the first years of their marriage; and in order to enonomize the bride’s charms, it was customary for her bridesmaid to cut off all her hair on the wedding-day, so that for some time, at least, her personal attractions should in crease with tier years—a very good and commendable plan, which we here re commend to tbe wives of the present day. Snow and Suffering on the Plains. A party of voyagers from Idaho reach ed Bt. Joseph last Wednesday, coming directly from Denver city They were caught in a Bevere snow storm, being completely shut up, and suffered severe ly. Most ot iheir mules perished, and wagons had to be abandoned as well as cooking utensilß ami supplies. The party subsisted for several days on parched corn, which was prepared by a fire made from willow twigs, the only fuel to be had. After leaving every thing behind, the party walked about one hundred and twenty miles, and slept on the snow at night, with corn for a diet. Many persons on the plains have suffered much from the severe storms and it is feared many have perished. The people of Philadelphia have collec ted sBo,ooo,with which they propose to purchase a residence for General Grant, Including this, the presents this favor ite has received during the war have not cost less than $60,000, which fact perpLaps, aa well as any other, shows the estimation in which he is held by the American people. Let us hope, that in return, that he will, as the Rev. John 3. C. Abbott suggested, give the nation Richmond and Petersburg as a Christ mas gift. A Nevada correspondent of the St Louis Republican thus speaks of green hacks: If a man or woman designs to get bis or her name in the paper, all that is necessary for them to do is to contract a debt, and then pay it in legal tenders. They are immediately pub lished.by advertisement in the news papers to the world as having been guilty of paying a. debt in greenbacks, and the friends of the advertiser are warned to never trust them, and to pass them around for tbe benefit of the parties. Others have adopted a novel method ol giving publicity to such acts, by having a small handbill printed in heavy mourning, stating that John Smith has this day paid Richard Brown $5O in greenbacks at par for goods, as the case may be, contracted on a gold basis. They are then posted up in the most frequented and conspicuous places in the city, and are certain to attract universal attention. Since “Old Dad dy Greenbacks” has been made Chief Justice, we opine that he will see to it, that more respect shall, in the future, be paid to the offspring of so distin guished parentage. St. Patrick’s Body Found. —While, the workmen engaged in the renovation ol'St. Patrick’s Cathedral, in Dublin— the oldest church in Ireland —were dig ging up a part of the flooring in one of tbe aisles, they discovered a large stone coffin of curious workmanship buried a few feet below the surface. The coffiu was opened, and was found to contain the skeleton of an ecclesias tic, supposed to have been buried there some 900 years! The skull was perfect, and the bones crumbled iDto dust when exposed to the air. On tbe id of the coffin there was a full length figure of a Bishop in his robes. It was inspected by some antiquarians, including D'r. Todd, who expressed it as bis belief that it was the original tounder of the churdh, St. Patrick. It is in good pres ervation, and it is in every respect a most interesting relic.
