Our readers will be astounded to hear that the rebel Commissioners, MASON and SLIDF.LL, recently arrested on board the British Steamer Trent, by Capt. Wilkes, ol the U. S. ship San Jacinto, and lodged in Fort Warren, by direc tion of the Secretary of Slate, have been re leased on demand of the government ol Great Britain. We must confess that we feel that our nation is humbled and disgraced by tiii3 slavish obedience to the insolent demand of our ancient enemy,—the more so because the whole North responded in shouts cl approbation to Ihe act of Capt. Wilkes, and Congress and the Administration itself, had given if a quasi, if not a direct, approval, Ihe recognition of the Southern Confederacy immediately afler the battle of Bull Run, would not have been a more stingiug shame than this covveiing before the British lion. But our country—sad is the tale to tell—has been brought to such a condi tion that our great men at Washington seem to think that we are unable to "cope with so formidable an adversary." The surrender of Mason and Slidell may be for (he best, so lar as the present interests of the Government are concerned, but the great Future will look back and behold a dark stain upon the escutcheon of America, which the blood of millions may be ineflicient to erase. It was the motto of our fathers, "Death before dishonor," and we are unworthy of the Liberty and the glorious names they bequeathed us, if we are unwilling to inscribe the same sentiment upon our ban ners. CONTINENTAL MONTHLY.—We are in receipt of the January number of this new candidate for public favor, and find it full of interest for the general as well as the literary reader.

We can recommend the Knickerbocker as a genial, interesting and instructive work. Address J. R. Gilmore, New York city. UNITED STATES HOTEL, PUILADELRNIA.— This excellent Hotel, now under the proprie torship and management of COL. 11. W. KANA KA, formerly of Harrisburg, has reduced its fare to §l 25 cents per day, and is DOW the cheap est p' .ce of the kind in the city. The accom m ations affordqd by this hotel, are just as good as those ol the higher priced hotels, whilst its proximity to the passenger station of the Penn'a. R.

But vain and foolish 'tis to sign For things that were, but are no more; O'er lacteal fluid spilled to cry I'll cease, nor war again deptore. I'll leap into the whelming tide That hears the thoughtless people on, Nor reck into what port i ride, So present want be from me gone.

Through me you've learned the past year's tale, What happ'd on mountain or in vale, What came to pass m town and city, To stir your wrath, or move your pitv, How statesmen fools, and party hacks At Freedom's tree laid slavery's axe, How politicians planned and plotted, Like knaves, or idiots besotted, Lach hopeful plan of compromise, To break up, or to neutralise ; How bold secssion stalked abroad, Fearless r.f Governmental rod, How Sumter fell and Northmen iose, And brothers name.) each other foes, How red-browed War his itorr.is outpoured, With cannon-boom and clash of sword, How heroes le'l and fields were won, From Lexington to sad Bull Ron. And from my visits you have learned, How in some people's hearts there burned A tienzied feeling, cruel, fierce, As that the tigress' heart doth pierce ; Wild, vengeful, savage, pitiless. The pulse of mobs, the fiendishr.ess Of feverish fanatics who. For want of useful work to do, Nurse morbid fancies in their head.

And further, I have kept you posted On all things good, old Bedford boasted, (Nor failed to tell you of some evil, As fist-fights, thefts, the fly and weevil); How Bedford marched to Cumberland To aid with willing, loyal hand The town be!eagured by "Secesh," And frightened almost into " mash ;" How sentinels patroled our borough, Lxpectant of the toe each morrow ; How yeomen sprang from plough to rifle, Rebellion's horrid voice to stifle— Yeomen, whose cry was ever peace, While demagogues, like chatt'ring geese, Made quarrel in the Nation's hails, Till shook fair Freedom's temple wails; And how while those do battle, these Live o"> in srug. inglorious ea.-e.

TERRIBLE STAMPEDE OF THE HORSES. ACCIDENTS, ETC., ETC. At 7 o'clock to-night a fire broke out in the Government stables, near the War Department, where they had about 2,000 horses, and harness for most of th tr>. The stabl-s consoled of ten sepaiate sheds, 32 feet wide, a. SbA.' 600 feet long, in eacn of which were some two hundred horses, and so rapidly did the fire spread, that it was impossible to cave all the horses. A large number of men were soon on the ground, and commenced liberating the horses. Many ot them refused to leave the burning sheds, and some rushed back, and plunging into the flames, laid down to die. Those released gathered in droves aaJ golloped frantically all over the city. The cries of those who were burning up as the fire reached them, were the most piteous we ever heard, resembling those of human be ings. Of the ten, six were entirely consumed. The timely arrival of Captain DuuCfcv', with a battalion of regulars, and Lieutenant MARKET, with a detachment of the Second and Third InJantry, who set to work, and with-the aid of citizens and teamsters, tore down tyy,ef the stables. No axes were to be had. and the half dozen fire engines dragged to the scene,were usleess for want ol water and capacity. There were aoout five hundred good draught horses burned ar.d about ten or twelve hundred sets of harness. But little forage was lost, as they only have it ground as it is used. All the stables are a total loss. The horses were good ones arid had been broke in to hauling heavy wagons. The fire originated bv one of the teamsters dropinga lantern into a bundle of hay, and then running out and shutting the door nid hallooing "fire," no buckets were to oe had when the people were aroused. One good aleam fire en gine could have saved seventy-five thousand dollars to the Government if it had reached there twenty five minutes after the fire broke out. A house and barn in the rear of the stable were also consumed, a large brick house close by had all the fine furniture carried out and destroyed by the rough usage, but the house wan uninjured the people saving it with buckets of water car- I ried from wells close by. 1 ite Li molishiug of some sheds prevention 1 the fire from spr-jding, and the wind being verv low, is all that the fire from spreading several squares dow nto the Potomac. The loss is estimated, by persona compef -nt io judge, at over one hundred thousand do!la r s. Tne stampede of horses rushing through the i crowds and around the corners caused many serious ace.dents, and we hear of one man re- i ported killed, who lell down while crossing the ' street, near the National Hotel, and was tram- ' pled upon by them. Most of the horses I hav£ been caught. At the late hour ve wn'? 1 tne Are is ail our, and nothing remains but Jonn rows of chaired horses and piles of cinders. ° FROM FORT PICKENS. NEW YORK, Dec 26. The steamship Haific arrived to-day from Fort Pickens, where she landed the Seventy j fifth New Y'ork regiment. She left Fort Pick ens on the 17th and Key West on the 22J. Matters at Fort Pickens were unchanged. \ De e.'.era from the rebel forces represent that i great distress and d ; ?ccntent prevails among I the troops. The U.

A SKIRMISH—IIOUT OF REBEC. TARTY*. Louisvilt ", Dec. 27— A letter to the Demo crat, Uom London, Ky., says that thee arc on ly 1500 Rebels at Cumberland Gap. They have sent their SICK to Knoxville and their pickets extend five miles this side of the Gap. There is no news from Somerset to-day. Dr. Dcpf, just arrived, reports a fight cn Tuesday right at JOSEPH CARSON'S house,lPerry county, between 118 rebels and 47 Union men. The Rebels were completely routed, with 16 wounded. The Federal force lost nothing. The Rebels are prowling through Perry. Letcher and f oethill counties robbing and swearing the Union men to support the South ern Confederacy. Who is Responsible. In view of the startling exposures of fraud made by the \an Wyctc Committee, same of the Republican papers console t.iom-. Iv-s with the reflection that if con option has occurred under this AJdujioi.stratiaa, i'; own partizans have not hesitated to expose it. We don't see how this mitigates the enormity of the frauds perpetrated by the chosen agents of the Gov ernment, or relieves it fromthe just odium of squandering the public ftioney at a time when above all others its disbursement should have ! been jealously guarded. In the case of Mr.' CUMMINCS, every opportunity was offered for the perpetration of fraud. If the object had j been to squander the public funds, no belt, t plan could have de u n devised than to giv- 1 him • unlimited power to draw upon a sum of two millions of dollars. Thi.- loose and irresponsi ble way of dcrig business invited peculation —and considering the character of the disburs ing agent, it is hard to resist the conclusion that fraud was expected and intended. And this is not an isolated case, lor it seems that the same loose system extended throughout a'l Gov ernment transactions. A multitude ot haro<es fastened their fangs upon the Treasury because the opportunity of plunder was literally thrust upon them, lithe Republican party wish to clear their skirts of the responsibility for squan dering millions of the public money, they should not merely expose the guilty, but repudiate and punish them, whether they occupy high or low places. This thing of exposing enor mous peculations and then covering the au thors ami agents with a thin coating of pol itical whitewash, onlv excites derision and en courages future frauds. The Republican patty made great profes sions o! economy when it wis before the coun try a suppliant for popular favor, and must stand accountable for the falsification of its promises. Read the following resolution of the Chicago platform, and contrast it with the transactions of tbe past nine months: "Sixth —That the people justly view with alarm the reckless extravagance which per vades every department of the Federal Gov ernment, that a return to rigid economy and ac countability is indespensible to arrpst the sys tem of the public treasury by favored partizans; while the recent startling developments of fraud and corruption at the Federal metropolis, show that an entire change of administration is im peratively demanded." —Let these political doctors take a dose of their own medicine. This resolution could not be more applicable if it had been written for the present time.— Patriot and Union. Drifting; from the Landmarks. While we have an armory of six hundred I thousand men in the field to preserve the liber ty and unity of ths country, there is no little danger that the foundations of civil liberty miy be undermined and impaired bv the very means ostensibly used for its preservation. Assaults upon individual rights, which in less perilous times would have agitated the whole nation, have excited little more attention than the ar rest of a drunken vagrant upon any of our crow- j ded thoroughfares. The boasted bulwarks of I freedom, that cost ages of patient toil and suf fvrmg to erect, have b°en battered down by the e iceftil wave ot a hand, am! outrages upon in dividual rigfc's, similar in principle to those tiiat cost Charles I his head, occasion .--carcely a per ceptible shudder among a people who boast to be the freest on earth. When the framers of our Constitution defined and carefully limited , powers of the Government, they imagined tiiat they had constructed barriers against arbitrary ' power too strong to be broken, so long at least 1 as the people remained worthy of the liberty i bequeathed to them. They adopted every pre- i caution that human foresight could devise to se- j cure to their descendants#government free from those arbitrary and oppressive features under which they saw other nations groaning and suf- : fering. Were tlie Fathers of the Republic wrong when they prohibi'ed arbitrary arrests and im prisonmenis, unreasonable si arches and seizures, secured to every man the right ot speedy trial by jury, and made the habeas corpus a writ oi right ? Were th v i ight in ail this, or are those j who presume to act as if these guaiantees had I no existence, right ? The question is not a mere abstraction, but one that conies horn-* to every • r u a Question it personal liberty. If! the Constitution has ceased io become the su- ! preme law of the land, and is no longer binding upon our rulers, we are living under an exper imental government—we are a people without law—subjects, not citizens ; and our future his tory will be that of a Nation that lost its free dom vv ilhout a struggle. A people who are unible or unwilling to pro- I tect their own clearly established r/gids horn j invasion, may exert the physical power neces | sary to subdue rebellion, and in the end lose ail they are fighting Ur—a free constitutional Gov ernment. While supremely occupied with the armed hosts arrayed against the Constitution, the sappers and miners may be quietlv progres : sing with the work ol destruction, until in the end victory is little better than defeat. [Patriot and Union. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. Mr. Chase, the Secretary of the Treasury, submitted his annual report to Congress, on Monday week. The report is very lengthv and one of great importance, as in it we have the expenses of the government placed before us and the suggestions of the Secretary as to how the money is to be raised to meet the indebtedness. He says the expenses of the government; on the present army and navy footing, for the year ending June 30, 1862, will tie $543,406,422. This amount he thinks will be raised as follows, viz: From Customs, lands, &c., §36,809 731 Loans already realized, 197, 2f2'088 Loans authorized. 75.449,675 Proceeds of direct tax, 20,000,000 Total, §329,501,994 This leaves a dpficit of $213,90-1,428, to be provided for This deficit he proposes to raise in three ways. The direct taxes o( the loyal States to furnish twenty millions, duties on liq uors, tobacco and other luxuries, twenty mil lions m >re, and (he tax on incomes, ten mil lions. To make up the balance he proposes that the government shall issue $150,000,000 in federal paper currency to take the place of I our present bank notes. In order to raise revenue he recommends the taxing ol tobacco, bank no'es,carriages, legacies, stiils and rii-t tiled liquors; and a further in crease of duties on sugars, tea and coffee. He thinks the war will be ended by the mid dle of next summer, but still he makes esti mate for another year of warfare, after the 30th of June next. He estimates the amount nf the national debt on the Ist of July, 1863, nine hundred millions of dol/irt. The Colored People Arming.

Sooner or later some thing must go wrong, and the great machinery of life is disordered or overthrown. During late years the public have been mis led by latge bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of barsapari'la fir one d !!ar. Most of these have been frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any, Sarsaparilla, bin riften no curative properties whatever, [fence, bitter and painful disappointment has !",!! jwed the use of t! e various extracts of Sar saparifia which flood the market, until the came i'seif is justly d-'spissd, anu has become synon ymous with imposition and chpat. Still we calf this compund Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And we think we have ground for believing it has virtues which are irresistible" by theordina rv run of the diseases it is intended to cure. Prepared by Dr. J. C. AYER k Co., Lowell, Mass.
