As our nnme has been placed at tho head of this paper, as assistant editor, during tho ab feace of the editor, wc take occasion to say that, though fur less competent to fulfil the duties of the post than those who have so ably performed them before us; wo shall, nevertheless, endea vor to do our whole dut) - for the good of the time honored principles ever advocated by the Gazette. We shall endoavor to pursue the same line of policy heretofore pursuod by the editor of this paper; and shall endeavor to stand up for tlre rights of froemon us firmly as he. Wc shall not hesitato to denounce every usurpation of the present administration, as boldly ns wo may see fit, wilhout regard to consequences.— But, whilst wo endeavor to do nil this, we shall try to make the paper no less interesting thau it has always been before. JOHN PALMER. Bedford, Jan. 8, 1864. The New Year. We have begun tho new year; and who shall tell us what itgWill bring us before its clsso? How many prophecies by Seward? How many victories by Burnside nnd Hqoker shall we have? and how often will the war be ended during the present year ?—Can any one teil us how many proclamations will bo issued from tho White House? and how often the President will get the measles, scarlet fever, or small pox before it is over? These aro questions not ensily answer ed. But ono need not be a prophet, nor "the son of a prophet," in order to foretell tho terri ble scenes of slaughter and bloodshed, that are yet to liefall the nation before tho consumma tion of its ruin by tbo fanatics now in power. How often hava the hopes of tho nation been raised by tho announcement that tho rebellion VVH3 doomed! —that Richmond was a "doomed °>ty"—that tho entire Southern arfny was "just within our grasp," and that Jeff. Davis was a bout packing his traps in order to take 1 is de parture for parts unknown. Yet how often were they disappointed. Wo slioull liko very much to sea this year finish the war, and restore the Union. Hut, alas! what hope is there of this under tfc n'g ger policy of the present administration? Wo answer, nouo. The clouds hang as darkly over the portals of the present year as they did over the last. What power shall lift them and re store the light again ? Surely not the present administration.

Address DEACON (J PETERSON, No. 319 Walnut St., PhilV Wfhe Teachers' Association, which conven ed in this place last week, if not a snoecss in ntunbers, was certainly so in the manner it was conducted:—as well in the "class drills" as the locturcs. The lectures on Physiology and Hy giene, by Dr. J. C. Comphcr, before the teach ers, were highly interesting nod instructive— The lectures of B. F. Meyer", Esq., and Rev. R. F. Sample, delivered in the Presbyterian Church, on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, were listened to with much attention. In short, the lectures of last week were a decided litera ry treat. ■WThe Poor Directors met on Tqesday last, •t ths Poor House, and re-appointed all the offi ®*rs last year. Rev. Samuel Yingling AND THE Lutheran Council. We have no desire to meddle in business not our own. Wc have less desire to mako a pri vate church matter the subject of newspaper discussion. If members of other churches would attend to their own affairs und pay their own preachers, it would be more cieditable to them than to backbite their neighbors and undertake to discuss matters they don't understand. If certain picayune individuals who never aston ished their minister or any body else with a spark of liberality, but on the contrary arc mean subscribers and meaner pay, would just do as they have always heretofore done: let the church take care of itself, it would look, at least, mora consistent. This new-born zeal must have been scared up by some dark spirit. We know none of the details and don't wish to know or meddle, hut xve have it from good and substantial authority, 6ack as would estab lish any fact iu a court of justice, that the ar ticle in the last Inquirer in its attempt to fasten political prejudice upon the council, and its ef forts to connect an innocent Sunday School fes tival (which proved to be quito a success) with the action of the council, aro wholly end entire ly untrue. Other and higher considerations, we are informed, (and the authority is too strong to deny in this community,) moved the councH in doing what they did. From what we know of tho men and their personal regard for his Reverence, they could say, and, no doubt, did say: "Not that I loved Caisar less but Rome more," and influenced by that high motive, not ed. Such uction is taken in all churches. It occurs every month, wo have no doubt, in tho Lutheran church. Why take the matter so much to heart jmtnowl We know the motives, and will leavo the reader to look at them him self without expressing them. Attributing such motives to 6uch men HS composed that council, is measuring men by their own rule, and judg ing others by themselves. We are beginning to believe the laity of the church, like the honest masses of the country, will hay# to take things in their own hands- at least until wo can get preachers who can appreciate their calling and disdain to meddle in politics. We want minis ters of the Gospel, and vro ure going to have them (or have none) who cat. distinguish be tween a great national question and a great ab olition question. Wo say down op the preacher who either preaches, prays or talks politics, lie has no business to do either. He must give of ! fenco and divide Ins people, and if they can't see it, like all other men, they will feel it. They are not exempt from an abuse of their piivile'v. any more than other men. We don't intend these latter remarks to be leveled at Mr. Ying ling more then any body else; hut men in that calling at this critical time iu our country's his tory, can learn their duty as well us all others from the things around them—and if they w ;j| not learn, but doggedly and persistently pursue J a course distasteful to their people, und riot keep ; constunt vigilance over their flocks—making ef forts constantly to unite and harmonize instead of breeding discord and bad feeling, they inu.-.t take the consequences; and so far as wo an, wo will lay bate their weak points, nud hold up their hands so long us they preach peaco and good will to men.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, 1 HAIUUSBLRQ, Jan. 4, 18ui. J DEAR GAZETTE: As I seat myself to write, tho "Repub lican"-Abolition, or as they style themselves in their call for their caucus, the ''National Union" party of the llousc, nro assembled in secret con clave for the purpose of nominating candidates for Speaker, Clerk, &c. Mr. Johnson, of Craw ford, it is said, will be. their nominee for the first named office. He is a gentleman of ability, and bis pleasing address and aflabiiity of dis position, have made liirn many friends. As the opponents of the Democracy are in the majority in the House, and will, of course, choose the Speaker, it is some conization to know that a man of Mr. Johnsou's stamp will be selected to fill that important position. For Clerk, it is thought that our neighbor, Mr. Benedict, of Huntingdon, will lie the "Republican" nominee. Col McDowell, a reurgado Democrat, is his op ponent, but Mr. Benedict will defeat him; for, much us our opponents lovo the treason, they heartily despise tho traitor. Besides. Mr. Ben edict was treated very seurvily by his party in Huntingdon county, in their refusal to give liirn a re-nomination for Representative, end this tact enlists for him the sympathy of many of the "Republican" members. As to tho other offices in the gift of the House, tho applicants for them are "thick at leaves in Vallainbrosa." Among thcra is to lx> seen every hue and ehade of the saiull fry of the mongrel "Republiean"- Abolition party. I recognize ia nomo of them, those peculiar political saints who, although styling themselves Democrats, could not find it in their virtuous and incorruptible hearts to vote for George W. Woodward. Their conduct dur ing the campaign, was somewhat mystoi ious, but it is now perfectly explicable. They were "bought with u price." It ia not known yet who will be the Demo cratic nominee for Speaker, but when there is such material to select from naPershing, tf Cam bria, Jackson, of Sullivan, Heck, of I ."coming, and VViraley, of Montgomery, tho Democrats cannot well make a mistake. 1 presume Uncle Jacob Zcigler. the efficient ami gentlemanly clerk of the last House, will ba re-nomiuated for that position, as A compliment to his worth as en officer as well as to his firmness and gal lantry as a Democrat, The organization of the Senato promises to be somewhat difficult and exciting. Tliero ura Id Democratic and IG "Republican" Senators, the Senator from Indiana fnd Armstrong, Har ry White, n "Republican," being hold ft* a pris oner of war, in Richmond. It is to lie hoped that na early organization will bo effected, by the election of a Democratic Speaker, especial ly us one district represented by a "Republican" (the Lycoming district) is now strongly Demo cratic. Let Air.

This will organize the Sen ate justly nad speedily. Mere unoii. Gen. McCleilan's Report WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—General AlcCMlan's report was transmitted to the House to day-. It consists of 7G4 fools cap pages uad is divid ed into four parts. Ho concludes a flliows: J slmil uot, nor can 1 leaving, forget thijt when ; 1 was ordered to the command ot the troops lor the defence of the eapitol, the suldicf) with whom I bad shared so much anxiety, pains and sufferings of the war, bad not lost' confidence in aie ns their commander. They sprang to my call with all their energy, discipline and cour age. I led them into Maryland fifteen dhya uf icr they had fallen back defeated before Wash ington; vanquished the tnemv en the rupg.! heights of South Mountain, pursued himto tho hard fought field of Antiatum, and drovt him broken and desperate ncroxs the I'otowtb into Virginia. The army had need of rest after the terrible experience of battle u-l marches with scarcely an interval of repose n-liich thrj had gone through from tho time of leaving fur the peninsula; the rctnrn to Washington, thedefent in Virginia, the victory at South Mountain, and again at Antietara. it was not surprising that they were in a large dogreo destituio of the ab solute necessities for effective duty. Their shoes were worn out, blankets lost anu clothing in Yujfs; in short, tho army was unfit for activo service, and en interval for rest nnrl repflso was necessary. When the slowly forwarded sup plies came to us, I led the army across the river, renovaiedj rot resiled find in good oiler nnd dis cipline, und foltowjng tho retreating foe to a po sitian where 1 was confide*# of decisive vic tory.

The President's Plan. Analysis of tho President's Plan for the Restoration of tho Union. To understand the principles embraced in this plan we must compare them with thpsdon which our Copslitulion is founded Tho bftsis of onr genoful government is States, having c.onstitutionand laws established by the people of those State.'-. The right of suli'rage in those States is regu lated by ibeiii own anil laws.— Siato voters ffius qualified", and thej oit/e, can vote for members of Congress. (See Art. Ist, 2d section of the Constitution.) But the President undi rtakes to proscribe the qualification of State voters, excluding ail from the right of sufiiage in governing themselves who will not tuko an oath dictated by him. Tiiis oath is not merely an oath of allegiance to the Con. titutionand lawsof the United States, but goes farther, and requires the affiant to swear (hat he will support all acts of Congress and proclamations of the President touching a certain kind of property until they lie annulled by Congress or tin; Supreme Court. The proclamations of the President in relation to slave property declare ail slaves free in cer tain States, whether their owners bo loyu! or disloyal. Every legal voter within those .Stales, therefore, must swear to give up that species of piopeny before, he can have a voice in the gov ernment of his own State. Where the President finds the power, military or otherwise, to establish out governments or regulate the right of suffrage in the btules, wo are not informed. If State government", constituted by onf-tenth of the voters, th ill he established, what is to protest them against the other niuc-te.Uhs ? The President promises such governments the pro tection of tiio United States, moaning by its mili tary force. In that event wo should see the ar mies of the United States employed to enable one-tenth of the voters of a State to go rem nine tenths. lint suppose that nfter tho governments of one-tenth have been established, the nine-tenths should resume their allegiance and proceed to elect Statu oHirers and members of Congtess under their own constitutions and laws and the Constitution and laws of tho United States, without taking the oath presetibo.l by ;l, v Pres ident, on what ground could the military po-.ver of the United States be used to suppress the government of nine-tenths and support the gov ernment of one-tenth? This plan, as far as it goes, appears I > lie bor rowed from tho politics of continental Europe, where kings give constitutions. Why should tho fundamental principles of our institutions he subverted for no other purpose than to hasten Providence in tho destruction of an institution which is fast dying under the blows brought u pon it by the crimes of its advocates? Why not let it perish in tiia house of its friends? Why not, instead of breaKing up lite foundation of our government, tnko and maintain military possession of tho States now com, died by the rebels, until the people of their own accord re sume their allegiance? That they will do so when the military arm of tho rebellion shall be broken wo have every reason to believe. If they do not, it will be because they prefer a military government to governing themselves. That t'no leaders 01 the rebellion should lie ptini a hed, especially the original conspirators, on whom rests tiie guilt of ball a nullum of murders, few men will deny. The principles of this plan would not be changed if it were approved by Congress and the Supreme Court, an incredible result. December 12, IR6G. CONSERVATIVE. How the Money Goes. What becomes of the people's tuoaev is n se rious question. Reports and exposures of rob beries, &c., are of daily occurrence. They no longer astound. In former times a small loss to tho Government created a great sensation, but now we hear of losses that reach nut only thousands, but hundreds of thousands And mill ions. Quite recently 11 lias been ascertained that o: 10 Cornwall, a clerk in the Treasurer's i'dice in Washington has stolen one hundred thousand dollars, and yet there is very link said about it. Such conduct cecals to be common in every Department—it is the rule, not the < Kception. In this connexion we ask the atten tion of our readout to the following remarks of tiio Age in regard to tho "commutation money.'' As many of them know the difficulties experi ence 1 in Taming the three hundred dollars they had to pay, they will naturally feel aa anxiety to know what become of the money. The Age says: "Ten millions of flic people's money pan! n way, and no roceipt taken for it. Iri the debates of Congress on the 21st inst., a remarkable fact was elicited, by Mr. llrooks, New York. Tho money which lias been received for tho three hundred dollars commutation, amounts to the suin of tUV'IM,O(Rh In an application for an appropriation of £2o,oo'\ooo, for premiums (or volunteering it was discovered that thosl(),- 000,000 already received was not to bo includ ed in that amount, but that sum had already !.on raeoived by the Secretary of tVj fi an i] pai l away without any appropriation having been made by Congress for that purpose. "Mr. Cox, (opp)of Ohio, inquired whether tho ten millions received as commutation were .included in thu twenty now required. Mr. Stevens replied that bin understanding was that the leu millions were included. Air. llrooks offered an amendment to tho bill, to the flfect that tho twenty millions named therein eliu'l include all commutation money hitherto ami hereafter to be paid into tho Treasury. ' >ir. Gorflall, (rc'p.) of Ohift, enid tho com mulutiun money had already been paid out, whether properly of legally he would not un dertake to decide." "Here is tho commutation of 53.333 Amer ican citizens, mticb r,f it unwilliDrly st rong from those illy ttfjo to spare it, —the laid up precau tion against adversity or old asp, or the intend ed tribute of affection., the Jiard scrapings to gether of weary years of toil, —g.vna into Mr. Stanton's baud, and spent,—bow?

It is now estimated that the expenses, up to lite end of the next fiscal year, will bo four tlioijjiftnd millions of dollars. The whole prop erty in tho United States, In 1860, was estimat ed at sixteen thousand millions. All tho de struction and diminishing of property in the Southern Slates is, of course, to he deducted from the estimated sixteen thiftmnn i millions The cost of one term of the present Administra tion has cost the country more than double the entire cost of tho Government from the day Washington war- inaugurated first President down to the day Abraham Lincoln was inaug urated. • Appreliendod Rebel Raid .on Winchester, WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—There are indications that General Early contemplates n movement or raid towards Winchester, and perhaps beyond that town. An order has been issued from the Array of the Potomac, prohibiting ail newspa per correspondents connected therewith front publishing or causing to lie published, th?.num ber or designation of regiments re-enlisiirg in tho army, or leaving the same, number of ! re-enlistments or the number of men furloughed. Another order from Provost Marsha! Pa:rick' requires a correct enrollment mado of all civil ians or army followers, excepting actual resi dents within tho limits of their respective corps, 'i Lis is designed to reach those who have sought refuge in the army to avoid the draft. Fifty prisoners and deserters reached Washington 10 day.

New York Police Commissioners—A Speck of War. N .w ionic, Jan. 3.—The Police Commission ers deny the. validity of the action of Gov. Sey mour in removing (hem from office and appoint ing Messrs. iijsworth, Mr Murray and Lewis in their stead, and announce their determination to continue the exercise of tdl their functions, notwithstanding tho action of tho Governor. To-day It la reported that the New Polieo Commissioners will probably appoint Nelson J.
