The day is a very unpropitiohs-looking one
in which to look forward to th glad Saw
Year, lint we are sure the moiitlm that are
in store for us are, a'rewed with blessings as
general and benefl -cnt as any we hvc yet
onjoyed. The progre.-s ol'tha American 1'nion
is liko the advance of an hnmenso multitude
over an tmboiftnled, fertile, and gently ascend
ing siirfaco. Magu int pools and black abysses,
and forests laid waste, m iy m irk the years
that are past darkness anil clouds may be
round about them; but in the days
through which wo urn moving now
are to 1)0 found rich Holds, cxhaustless mines.
Incalculable internal resources, and powers of
invention and the Hpirit of discovery which
shall make the highest use of them all. In the
future there ure lolly and gleaming summits
which wo have to ascend, and an Eden of
peace which wo are t j regain. lint all the
gates through which we aro to re-enter it are
guarded by flaming swords, some of which we.
have Hhivered and dissipated, and all of which
it will be our practical duty to combat
During the past few months we have done so
much in this way that wo have peculiar rea
sons to look with hope upon the glad New
Year.
Tho soK-sutllclent prido of the United
States is a theme which has oftuu been prated
over by foreign journals, and used as a means
of taunt to us. It is to bo acknowledged that
c have a fa'.r degree of pride. We could
not have sustained ourselves in this struggle
without It. We could not hve hoped to
wield the weapons of war aright, or to cope
against the united Interests of foreign powers,
without this confidence In ourselves which
gooH abroad by the name of false pride. We
have that conceit of ourselves, that solf
kuowledge and belief, which are essential
to succoss. T.ike people who understand
their business tuorougly, we are constantly
improving from the very lessons which we are
contlnuu'ly teaching others in the science of
government. Our Government U unlike any
other with which history is acquainted. We
are evidencing to tue world its principles. It
was conceived in a tune of danger and distress,
and it has survived many a shock. Its last
and greatest conflict has been the struggle of
the last lour years. All its strongholds were
invaded and outraged. But they are not
crushed or subverted. They have been in
sulted, but with the serenity of all that is truly
great, they are potent still.
Through the coming year we have to com
plete the work which we have begun. We
have to satisfactorily prove t'.iat we are in tho
right, and that those who framed the Consti
tution conceived one of the grandest Ideas of
human government that has ever been acted
upon. The mighty principle upon which our
government is erected is that its career is to
be coeval with that of the world. Through
all time it is to be a monument of ull that is
!est in all the forms of government that have
existed. It Is to be recognized as tho perfect
pattern of human government from which all
modes of administration are to be modeled.
Tho New Year should bring us another
reflection besides tho one that ws are to cud
the war and vindicate ourselves. We have a
woik to iwrforii) iu the world of literature and
art, and the word "American" is to become
hyuoiiymous with names which yet unborn
generations shall cherish as dearly as the
present one uoes me long-nveu reputations

II is never without reluctance that we np.
proach a ciuc. tion about whic h there is not
ample testimony. At the best, we are all so
111. Me to lie mistaken, that he who presumes io
judge, should nt least avoid obvious causes of
error. Without tills prefatory qiiallileatloii,
we should not cow-idi r our-dves justified In
d'M i:ssing the failure of O f Wilmington epe
u'.ith ii. Wo consider the evidence in t lie case
to lc ro IiisuH'k lent, Hint it would savor of pre
sumption to attempt to render a precise ver
dict. On tho other hand, if the subject be
cnl'rel Ignored, there is d mger of imsnpprc
Mnii iiihirg in tho public inh.d.
The fh.'t thing that strikes us Is Admiral
I' i.im;V' aclini.-. ion that he did not consider
it i (li. nt to await t!,o arrival of General
1 mill. His words are: "After the. sou'
wester, the wind ( hopped around to the wc st
wunl ai d gave us a bcautilul spell of weather
which J could not afford to lose; and the
tran peitjt wiih the troops not making th :ir
a j i an nee, I determined to take advantage
ol it m il attack Fort Fi-her and its outworks.
If Admir.'.I IVktkh was acting in concert
Willi Com ral J'.i TMcn, no attack should have
been inailo without consultation with Conor!
Jil ti.i it. II the chief command belonged to
the Admiral, ho hud the light to do what he
ploiiMdj but if the chief command belonged
to General I'.n i.i.n, the Admiral hud no right
to take the initiative against the enemy. If
the chief command belonged to nrithrr, the
expedition vjas faulty in its very nature.
Dependent upon whether an expeditionary
force consists chiefly of an army or of a navy i
the duel command should devolve upon the
highest cllicer of tli.it service which is to un
dertake the renter task in the proposed scheme
id operatic". To order this otliorwis", may
he fatal io the success of any plan.
In this particular case, no bad consccpience
resulted from the action of Admiral Ici;ti:i:.
If be had squandered his ammunition, so that
upon the arrival of General JH ri.Kit, no
assault could be inacli! under cover of the fire
of the fleet, then, indeed, would the attac k
have proved most premature ami unfortunate.
Hut it seems that upon General Iit;Tl,i:i!'s
arrival, the. flee! was still iu condition to bom
bard the enemy's works, but that General
Bl ti.i it declined to assault them. That no
untoward event resulted from tho early bom
bardment, alforils no satisfactory reply to cen
sure ofa violation of the nriuciiile of con
ceited action, without which any operation
is not only liable but likely to fail.
In regard to the cxnlosiou of the t-re,)r
bout, the unfortunate results that niiuht have
ensued from the action of Admiial roitrm
ure almost too obvious to mniiii l'li c..-
redo boat was exploded before the bombard
ment ot rort lisher. As Ceuofal Buti.kb
hud not arrived when the bombardment took
place, he must have been nhneut at the time
or too explosion. Now, tjin theory favorable
to the success of the torpedo boat (for thorn
were two thories even nmong engineers) was
mai u wouni so demolish the fort that tho
work would he untenable. Is it not. elenr thnt
it behooved the troops to assault immediately
after the explosion. Y'et, if the torpedo boat
had succeeded, tho troops would not have
been presenl, for tho torpedo boat was ex
ploded on the mi rning of the 24th instant, at
loity-uve minutes past one o clock.
Suppose thut the fort had been seriously
damaged, would it not have been somewhat
repaired by the evening of the 24th instant,
when General Uuti.kh arrived? Admiral
Toutku says: ''At sunset, General Bun.mi
came in, In his flag-ship, w ith a few transports,
tne rest not liavin' arrived from Itcnui'i.rt
Would the fort not have been in still better re
pair on the 2,1th lustant.at the time of day when
General iiUTi.im was prepared to land ? Admi
ral Toiiteb says that " the army commenced
landing about two o'clock." So, if the fort
had been seriously injured at forty-five minutes
past 1 o'clock on the morning of, tho 21th
instant, tue ltelxls would have had thirtv-slx
hours and a qunrtor before General Bi'ti.eu'h
forces ever touched tile beach to prepare for
uie assault.
As the torpedo boat did not effect the desired
damage, here again, the action of Aliniral
Poiitek was followed by no bad results; but
If the torpedo bad answered the exneetations
formed, the haste ot the Admiral might have
implicated ttie success of the whole expedi
tion, i nis case atlords still better uroof th.in
tho first, that expeditions requiring concerted
nieasoros should never be entrusted in e.,tn.
manders independent ol each other.
We now turn to tho operations of the tmmu
The accounts which ws possess rslativa to
their performance are not so full as tlim
relative to the other part of the expedition:
Undoubtedly It was expected that the tor
pedo boat would effect so much damage that
the troops would be certain to occupy the posi
tion of Fort Fisher. But the torpedo foiled
Y'et it is plain that its (ailurs was not con
sldemd tantamount to a failure of tlm
expedition. Otherwise, why wet the troons
landed ? But when they were landed and
captured some of the outworks of Fort Fishsr,
una tne skirmisn line, as General Hi n re .
njaiks, was "within fifty yards ot the fort, while
tho garrison were kept in their bomb-proofs by
the tire ol'tho navy, and so closelv that. tbr....
or four men of tho picket line ventured upon
the parapet and through the sally-port," ste.,
why, we ask, was not this time chosen to
assault? These men even carried niTtl.cfl.
cftLcfcit.

and mairiseo as unuardouabls, wsi of course

U'.th Instant, In reply to General Hcti.KiVh of
the Stfiih Instant, professed ills ability to keep
the Uehels in tin ii bomb-proofs, and evidently
des'n d that there should he a renewed attempt
upon Fort Fisher. But his suggestion does
not seem to have elicited a favorable response,
for the attempt upon the fort was not renewed.
We, w ith Admiral Foni ku, do not like to
presume to criticize the accuracy of the delib
erate opinion of Cenerul Wni tzki, that
Fort Fisher could be taken only by a regular
sige; but. If so, how did that handful of
daring men got on the parapet and through
the sally-port ?
Fiom tho testimony thus far, we draw th :
following conclusions:
1. That the expedition had no commander-in-chief,
and although It did not fail on that
account, that such a want Is, at any tlrm an I
in any expedition, liable to be followed by
disaster.
2. That Admiral Pout Kit was precipitate In
- louiiig the torpedo boat and iu att i kin
the forts.
II. 'lhat under cover of the (Ire from tic
fleet, an assault should have been al.lem1if!i'.
Ail ol which is subject to reconsij r.iiloii iu
the light of fuller testimony, except the first
tatement, which Is a self-evident prop isition.
In conclusion, we must say thut it is out
inipic: simi that the failure of the expedit'ou
mis owing to the storm, whic h cl diye l out
dec t so much that the enemy had timu to se:iii
two divisions of troops from tho lines uViul
l;i( hmoiid. Yet the details of the expedition
exhibit so much absence of concert thai we
have thought proper to call tho attention o1
the people to a defect in ull movements or
ganized between land and naval forces a de

failure of many military operations under
taken bv nations.

It Is with deep sorrow that we a'e com
pelled to announce tho death of I he Honora

Immediately uppointed Private Seeretury to
Don. Mr. Gallatin, I'n'ted States Minister
to (lie court of St. Petersburg. On his return
to his native country ho recommenced the
study or his profession, in which he always had
held the highest position. His grout legal eru
dition and powers of comprehension emi
nently lttted him to hold a leading position iu
the legal world. Uu was uppointed, us a mark
of Presidential (Uvor, to the position of Deputy
Attorney-General nt Philadelphia. ITis fellow
citizens of the municipality, desirous of show
ing him their esteem, elected hitn to the
highest position in their gift that of Mayor
of the Quuke-Clty. Upon tho expiration o,
his term, lie 'fas appointed United States District-Attorney
for the city. In 18:J1 ho was
elected to the position of United States Sena
tor for the Stute of Pennsylvania. Aller hold
ing this post for two years, ho resigned, and
returned agnin to the practice of his profes
sion. In 1837 he was uonoiuted Envov F.vir i.
ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the
.onrt ol M. Petersburg. Do was recalled In
lO, and In 1841 was nominated for tho Vice -
Presidency on the Bame ticket with Jam t:s K.
I OI.K.
During his Presidency of 'the Senate. tb
question of abandoning the Protective policy
and deriving revenue from dutios was brought
before the Senate in the Report of Hon. id.
Walker, Secretary of the Treasury. Tho
Senate was equally divided and Mr. Dallas
had the casting vote. His voice in favor of
the bill caused tho proposition to bscomp a
law. Be therefore was the father nf'tlita rr..f
improvement in our national system. In 1S33
be was spoken of generally for the Presidency,
but was defeated in the National Convention.
On F ebruury 4, 1S50, he was appointed United
States Minister to tho Court of St. James. He
held the position until 1801, when ho was
succeeded by Honorable Cuaklks Fbancis
Ahams.
His high position was wall filled by him.
The trust his country placed iu his hands was
not betrayed. By years of preparation he
was abl to hold with credit any pout the
nation bestowed. He has always paid great
attention to our system of government as
compared with that of England, and his care
ful investigation of their institutions mad
him most popular with Britons.
lie is dead. His country has lost a faithful
son, the bar an able member, the political
world an accomplished diplomatist. His large
chclo of social friends will mourn his loss and
nilss his gonial presence. He was an Impressive
orator, a superior diplomatist, aud s profound
statesman ; and Philadelphia, tho city of Ids
birth, bis residence, and death, will always
cherish his memory as that of one of her most
gilted sons.
HUTU'S ROM. of iio.on.
Death has a roll of honor which he delights
always to keep fulL During the past year there
have been many additions to IL All the
departments aud cliques of tho world have
lest mcmbvrs. Vacancies have occurred lu
ail the realms of art, science, diplomacy,
government. It always seems, when the
gnat and good die, as tkough their losses
could never be replacsd. They have done to
much for us that it is little enough
to Uo for them, to deia their loss
llll JOHN A. MUHPIIBY.
Irreparable. They are with us for a
few short years. They guide and in
struct us. Tbej teach us what the great and
the bountiful, nnd the mighty and the g-io.l,
menn In their various developments. They
illustrate what this world was made for, and
the purposes which the millions who have
been placed on It are Intended to woik out.
Each bard and naked fact with which men of
genius have had to deal, is embellished and
rendered of use. As the beauty-dropping
snowflukes cling around tho boll, leafless
branches of winter, so tho ahil'tii s of g Milus
grace the harsh uninviting lealilles of the
world.
In the realm of statesmanship, first in the
list, occur the names ofthe late Hon. William
1. Dayton, Minister to France, who united
the Integrity of an hone st man to the llnessa
of a diplomat; mid Chief Justice Kociku B.
Tani y, who, up to n great age. proved how
faithfulness, to oneself may be preserved
through the ebbs and flows of a public career.
In literature we have lost some whom, It
should seem, we could least afford to los".
I'iiac kk.kav, whoso kind hen rt was always
Inl oven when be wrote most satirically ; and
whose eyes, whiNt they glittered with sarcism
were wot mid mUy with pitying tears,
the larc-e-soiilc d Til cki-iiy was tho first' of
whose death we received Intelligence w ith tho
new year. This was followed by the news of
the death of Adllaiih: PitocroB, a poetess
orexquisite puiily of style, and daintily chosen
diction. At home' we have been called upon
to la nent t!io decease of Nathaniel IIavv
I'lioitNK, whose slightest writings breathe an
aroma akin to poetry, and the mingled grace
and untidiness of whose stylo are like chaste
and classic architecture wreathed with flowers.
In the army the deaths have been, of course,
very numerous. i i: have become accustomed
to the anticipation of losses hero, nnd we con
secrate the memories of ull iu one noble nnd
Inning tribute. It would be a long column
indeed which should give a full list of those.
The past year has lost us many a member of
the rank nnd file, w hose wliola wur-lilo has
been a continuous evidence of splendid courage
and great endurance. The mausoleum which
entombs them is the nation's heart, and Is the
one which, revising the necrolbgy of the
year, we have moat reason to reverence.
