Our Flag Forever
" I know of no mode in which a loyal citi
fen may so well demonstrate his devotion to
by country as by sustaining the Flag the
Constitution and the Union, under all circum
veances, and UNDER EVERY ADMINISTRATION,
RROARDLESS OF PARTY POLITICS, AGAINST ALL
SASAILANTS, AT HOME AND ADROAD."-STEPHEN

Gen. Butler and the Exchange of
Prisoners.
Accounts from Washington state
that the whole subject of the exchange
of prisoners has been placed in the
-hands of Major General Butler, and
that ho expects to resume . the ex
change, man for man, until the fifteen
thousand Union soldiers now held in
captivity are given up.. It is said
that ye now hold forty-five thousand
rebel prisoners in our possession, and
will have a large surplus, after all the
- the Union prisoners have been ex
changed, which will be retained. In
making these exchanges our Govern
ment will insist upon the rebels deliv l i
-
ering up colored soldiers, and the
white officers of colored regiments,
now in their hands, the same as other
troops. The best results are antici
pated from this arrangement, and it
is expected to deliver thousands of
our prisoners from the horrors of reb
'el dungeons. .
We hope that no delay will occur in
the resumption of exchanges, and that
every man now confined in the Libby
or on Bello Island will soon be free.
Jouwer wen-Known energy
and shrewdness should make him e
qual to the task of settling the matter;
he has certainly removed greater diffi
culties from his path and encountered
opposition as determined as any .ho is
likely now to meet.
Isegt,.An Amendment to the Draft
Law is now before Congress, which
repeals the $3OO commutation clause,
and consolidates the two classes pro
iided for in the 3d section of the orig
inal act. Persons procuring substi
tutes are to be exempted from any fu
ture draft during the time for which
such substitute has been accepted: All
claims to exemption must be verified
by the oath of the party claiming ex
. . wttti - tri lis. personal knowl
edge; and the testimony of any other
party filed in support of a claim shall
also be under oath. Persons procu
ring exemption by fraud, aro made li
able-to arrest and trial for desertion
by a Court Martial, and held to ser
vice for the full _term for which they
were drafted. Tho Attorney's foe for
making out papers is limited to $5 in
each ease. Parties guilty of swind
ling drafted men, by private arrange
ment with the Board, or any member
of the Board convicted of bribery or
misdemeanor in office, on conviction,
will be punished by fine and impris-
onment for the full term for which the
person exempted would have had to
_servo-- It is thought that some of
these amendments will be adopted.
Rebel Finances and Prospects.
Memmingor, the Rebel Secreta
ry of the Treasury, in a report just
published, states that over eight hun
dred millions of Confederate money is
in circulation. He further says that
of six hundred millions received iu the
treasury during the last nine months,
all but six millions came in the shape
of Confbdorate currency and loans.
He estimates the amount required for
the,ensuing year at over fourteen hun
dred millions, which he proposes to
raise by a forced loan. The enormous
issue of Treasury Notes, ho says, has
raised prices five or ten times higher
than they ought to be. Mr. M. sums
up the Rebel financial "situation" in
the following doleful strain:
"The continuance of these notes as.
a circulating medium to . their present
extent involves the ruin of public and
private credit, and will deprive the
government of the means-of defending
the lives and property of its citizens.
If the currency remains in its present
expanded state, no measure of relief
can be made effectual. Prices must
advance, and the moans of govern
ment to pay these prices must daily
lose ctileiency. Taxes become fruitless,
by "reason of the depreciation of the
money. The army can neither be
paid, clothed nor fed; arms and muni
tions of war can no longer be suppor
ted; the officers of the government
cannot be supported and the country
must succumb."

Unconditional Resolutions.
IfOUSE.—Mr. Smith, of Kentucky,
submitted a series of resolutions, of
which the following was .the first in
order :
Resolved, That as our country and
the very existence of the best Govern
ment ever instituted by man is im
perilled by the most immoral, cause
less, and wicked rebellion that the
world has ever seen; and,' believing as
we do that the only hope of saving
this country and preserving the Gov
ernment is by the power of the sword,
we are for the most vigorous prosecu
tion of the war until the Constitution
and laws shall-be enforced-and obeyed
in all parts of the United States; and,,
to thht end, we oppose any armistice,
or intervention, or mediation, or pro
position for peace from any quarter so
long as there shall be found a rebel in
arms against the Government. And
we ignore all party names, lines, and
issues, and recognize but two parties
in this war, viz : patriots and traitors.
Mr Cravens, of - Indiana,*moved to
lay the series of resolutions on the ta
ble. His motion was disagreed to—
yeas 60, nays 100.
The above resolutions was then a
greed to by the following vote—yeas
93, nays 01. -
A vote was next taken on Mr. Smith's
second resolution, wh'eh is as follows:
Resolved, That we hold it to be the
duty of Congress to pass all necessary
bills to supply men and money, and
the duty of the people to render every
aid in their power to the constituted
authorities of the Government in the
crushing out of the rebellion.
This resolution was also agreed to
by a vote of 152 yeas—the only 'lege.
Live vote being cast by Mr. Benjamin
G. Harris, of Maryland.
The last resolution in the series was
then submitted, as follows:
Resolve/I, That our thanks are ten
dered to our soldiers in the field for
their gallantry in defending and up
holding the flag of the Union, and de
fending the great principles dear to
every American patriot.
This resolution was adopted by a
vote of 166 yeas, Mr. Harris, of Mary
land, being the only member that vo
ted in the negative.
MR. MCALLISTER, member from this
district voted with the Union men
and for all the resolutions.
The Death of Gen. Buford.
. The death of this distinguished cav
alry General will create deep regret
among all who have read tho
history of the cavalry of the Army of
the Potomac for the past year. Bu
ford's name with that of Kilpatrick's,
became a household word, beard daily
in accounts of new movements and
exploits, raids on the enemy's trains,
and encounters with Stuart. Noth
ing is recorded of him in this period of
his chief activity, but what is to his
high credit,as a bold and energetic
general of cavalry. He was greatly
beloved by his command, and his loss
will be . lamented throughout the
whole army.
Gen. Buford died in Washington,
Wednesday, of typhoid fever, contrac
ted while in camp, and was, before his
severe illness, in the prime of health
and manhood. He graduated at West
Point, in 1844, and has ever since re
mained in the regular service, being.a
captain of dragoons at the outbreak
of the war. He won his first triumphs
in Virginia, in the cavalry operations
under Gon. Pope. Shortly before his
death the President appointed him a
Major General.
Re-Capture of the Chesapeake.
The steamer Chesapeake, taken pos
session of by rebel pirates some two
weeks ago, was re-captured by a U
S. steamer, twenty miles from Halifax,
on the 17th. T_he_vessels_were-nrda•ba
into Halifax. A, dispatch dated Hali
fax, Dee. 19th, says : •
"At one o'clock this afternoon, the
steamer Chesapeake and prisoners on
board of ber were delivered over to
the Government authorities.
"Upon the arrival of tho boat con
taining the prisoners at the Queen's
Wharf the excitement became intense
The prisoners were seized by a boat's
crow in the ship and hurried off by the
crowd in attendance. Upon the Gov
ernment officers attempting to arrest
the prisoners under a warrant, they
were seized and held by prominent cit
izens and rendered powerless to per
form their duty. The crowd finally
succeeded in getting the pirates off in
a small boat down the bay. The af
fair causes the greatest excitement
throughout the city. What course the
authorities Will pursue in the matter
it is impossible to say.
"The pirates aro now at liberty and
scattered throughout the province.—
The United State's gunboats aro pro
paring, to leave to-night"

THE Irish papers have sensation re
ports of a rapidly spreading movement
in favor of a rebellion or a revolution.
The story is - that vessels from the
United States are to [and on the Irish
coast . with money, arms and muni
tions for all who desire to take up
arms against England, A central se
cret organization is rumored to exist
in Dublin, with branches in all the
large cities, and men are being drilled
under its auspices. The reports ex
cite great anticipations and some a
larm in Ireland, and persons whose
position would appear to preclude any
sympathy with the. movement, are ex
pected to head. it. -
ON Wednesday night, says a Rich
mond paper, Dee. 11th, the body of
131 X deceased Yankee- prisoners wore
deposited in the deadbouse of the hos

the - . plank ltd i teked from the house
showed the way the ghost went. Ho
had been "playing possum," and was
laid out among the dead only to get

The President of the United States
having, by his communication of the
Ath inst., in response to propositions
submitted to him relating to the re
cruiting service in Pennsylvania, un
der his call of October 17th ultimo, for
300,000 men, approved of 'so much
thereof as is comprised under the fol
lowing points:
It is ordered—
That the rszruitment of Volunteers
for tho various regiments now in the
field will be conducted accordingly,
1. Details for recruiting service in
the State, will bo made of officers of
Pennsvlvania.regiments_in.the _field,
whose terms of service expiro in 1864.
2. When practicable, old regiments
will be returned to the State to be re
cruited.
3. The volunteers who shall be
enlisted will remain under the control
of the Governor at such camps or ren
dezvous, and - under such commanders
as he may designate, and until ready
to be sent tr' their regiments, in ac
cordance with General Orders No. 75,
of 1862.
4. Premiums not exceeding twenty
five dollars fbr veterans, and fifteen
dollars for new recruits, will be paid
to officers detailed for recruiting ser
vice, from regiments in the field, when
the recruits are accepted by the Uni
ted States. Payment to be made by
Lt. Col. Bamford, U. S. A., Acting As
sistant Provost Marshal General. •
5. Volunteers furnished by cities ov ,
other localities will he duly crated
on the draft fixed for January 5, 1864;
and also "all such volunteers as may
have been mustered into the service
of the United States, since the draft,
the number so credited to be deducted
from the proportion of the quota as
signed the State under recent call."
Inormation regarding the quotas of
counties, cities, townships' and wards,
can be procured on application to the
respective District Provost Marshals.
6. Authority will be given to offi
cers detailed for recruiting service
from regiments in tho field, to raise
complete companies of infantry,to be
sent to such regiments in the eld as
have less than their proper number of
company organixations.
7. Colored volunteers for the col=
o rp.4. ragLnrs.anta...f.—.Pon rs oyls-n-rs - Vv. II I
be accepted as a part of the quota, and
also such as have been mustered into
the service of the United States since
the draft, to be credited to cities or
other localities on their proportion of
the State's quota under recent call.
8. Camps of rendezvous will bo es

pay in advance, and, in addition, a
bounty and premium of 6302 will be

The short time now remaining,
within which to fill the quota of the
State by enlistments, and thus avoid
the impending draft, admonishes the
loyal citizens of the importance ofpro
viding, by local bounties, the strong
est inducements to volunteers. Mu
nicipalities of other States, by this
means, are sending from Pennsylva
nia the able-bodied men who should
replenish her own regiments. Penn
sylvania, with a deficiency less, pro
portionately, than any adjacent Com
monwealth, should show, by her
promptness and alacrity, now, her a
bility to ntaintam the high position
she has heretofore, and still occupies
among her sister States, in contribu
ting to suppress this rebellion.

Fortress Monroe, Tra., Dec. 14. Gen.
Wistar, with my approbation, seat
out an expedition to Charles City
Court louse, on the James river, to
capture the enemy's force stationed
there, and I have the pleasure to for
ward his report of its complete suc

B. F. BUTLER., Major Gen'l.
YORKTOWN, Va., Dec. 14.
To Major General Butler :—I. have
the satisfaction to announce. the com
plete success of the expedition sent
out under Col: West. All worked in
successful combination. Our cavalry
carried the enemy's camp. at Charles
City C. H., after sharp fighting, the
enemy firing from the houses. We
captured eight officers and eighty
two enlisted tlidn, being the whole
command of three companies, fifty five
horses and three mules, besides many

BOSTON, Dee. 15
The New Orleans correspondent of
the Traveller writes that the expedi
tion of Gen. Banks to Texas is a glo
rious success. The Union men are
rallyin ,, under the standard *of Gen.
Banks in large numbers.
All that the Texans required was a
sufficient force of United States troops
to back them up, and they repeatedly
said that if an army was sent to assist
them they would soon have Texas all

They have already proved the truth
of their statements, for General Banks
has recruited two regiments since he

by General Magruder•
Hew York, Dec. 16.—The New Or
leans Era of the 6th, has accounts of
the capture of the rebel works at Pass
Cavallo,which has already boon re
ported. Reports' say that a large
quantity of cotton is at Victoria, ono
of the towns on i‘latagorda, Bay, and
. it has been placed within •our reach by
the capture of the above works. It
had accumulated,there on its way to
Browusville,'but could ' not be got to
that place from the scarcity offoams.
St. Louis, Doo. 16.—A special des
patch to the Democrat, dated Fort
Smith, the 15th instant, says:
A gentleman named W. Taylor ar
rived here to-day; having loft Denton,
Texas, (100 miles south of' the' Rod
river,) on the Ist inst. It was under
stood when he left that the United
States army had possession of the en
tire coast including the Sabine Gulf,
Galveston,
and Brownsville, and that
a Federal force was ascending the Red
river and marching on Alexandria
whore the rebel troops Older General
Taylor awaited an attack.
General Magruder had ordered the
circulation throughout the State of a
pledge devoting the life, liberty and
property of the citizens to the support
of the Confederacy. -
Kirby Smith's Forces.
' The rebel army in Texas was gene
rally posted on- the outskirts of the
State. Kirby Smith commanded the
troops in Texas north of the Red river
and near the State line, with a small
force. Tho rebel pickets are at the
crossing of the river and the lino of
roads. General Price is eighteen miles
south of Washington with from three
to four thousand men. The entire i
force under Marniaduke, Shelby, and
Cabello, were near him.
QuantreU
Quantrell has been in Texas for
four weeks. His command of four
hundred men was distributed in de
tachments, in various counties, in the
northwestern part of Texas. Their
business seem to be to act as spies on
the people, hold the country in subjec...

Union men, and plunder indiscrimi
nately.
The Union Sentiment
The Union sentiment in the. State
is strong, and would bo expressed in
immediate political action if the peo

army. Four or five thousand young
men are bidden in the brush awaiting
the approach of the Federal forces to
join thorn. -
The people aro kept in subjection
only by such parties as those of Quan

It was near sundown when Gen. T.
J. Wood, whose conduct all through
the three days' battle marked him as
ono of the ablest leaders of the nation
al armies, rode along the lines of his
superb division. Loud shouts of en
thusiasm everywhere greeted his ap
pearanco, until at last his feelings, no
longer controllable, broke out in a
speech : •
"Brave men !" said he, "you were
ordered to go forward and take the re
bel rifle pits at the foot of these hills ;
you did so; and then by the Itternal
without you pushed forward and took
all the enemy's works on top! Here
is a fine (halloo for having you all'
court-martialed ! and myself will up- .
pear as the principle witness against,.
you, unless you promise mo ono thing.".
"What is it? wheels it?" laughingly
inquired his men.
"It is," resumed the'.Genoral, "that
as you are now in possession of these
works :you will coutinime against. all
opposition of Bragg, Johnston, Jett
Davis and_ the Devil , steadfastly to
hold them !"
At the conclusion of this speech the
enthusiasm of the soldiers knew no
bounds. They left the ranks and
crowded around their general.
"We promise ! we promise I" they
cried. And amid such, acclamations
as "Of course we'll hold them !"
any one try to take !them from us l"
"Bully for you 1" "Three cheers for
