    MeClellea, an Officer of the army who
had obtained great popularity with
his soldiers, Ind who found a solace for
all his griefs in the antagonism of the
Administration that took him from
his railroad company in Illinois and
made him commander-in-ohief of our
armies. Tho political campaign was
shorter than any that has been known
for fifty years, but for bitterness and
animosity has never been surpassed.
General McClellan was placed in
nomination in the early Fart of Sep
tember, and for two months the
country rang with the clamor of
politicians. Even the all absorbing
war was forgotten in this struggle, for
it was felt that upon the result of the
election all the fruits of the war would
depend. Abraham Lincoln was re
elected President of the United - States,
and Andrew. Johnson, of Tennessee,
Tice President, and by such a majori
ty that foreign Powers, and, oven the
Confederates themselves, wore com
pelled to feel that this nation and all
that it has of men, means, and mate
rial resources were pledged to a pros
ecution of the war for the restoration
of the Union, even if it were necessa
ry to fight for twenty years. But as
tho Ugh we were signally blessed by a
beneficent God, while we were ex
hausting our resources in war and
accumulating an appalling debt, a now
means ofwealth suddenly came to
light. In Pennsylvania, Virginia, and
Ohio, what was once a singuhir phe
nomenon that attracted the attention
of travellers and scientific men and
was simply known as a medicinal
agent, or an element of religions woe
ship among the old Indian tribes, sud
denly took its place in the commerce
of the world as ono of the richest
and most necessary minerals. The
barren counties of Northwestern
Pennsylvania iridTthe rugged and
dreary hills of the Kanawhe, have
suddenly developed a wealth that
surpasses California and Australia.—
The history of petroleum is one of the
Most extraordinary in political econo
my. Pennsylvania alone gathered
fifty millionsof wealth last year, and
the products I_,f our oil wells are esti
mated to 'exceed those of coal and
iron. During, therefore, a largo part
of this year, our tradesmen and spec•
nlators have been very much excited
by this enterprise, and in the new
year we may anticipate a far more
extended and permanent excitement.
In Colorado gold mines have been
discovered, and in Nevada, NeW Mex
ico, and Arizona large quantities of
precious metals are known to exist,
.and only await the skill and courage
of the 'pioneer to place tbo United
States far above any other portion of
the world in wealth and prosperity—
so that, while we are fighting in this
war for liberty,,it seems that Almighty
God is raising out of the earth the
means whereby we aro to mako it enc.
oessful. During the last year Congress
enacted manywise laws. Our reve
nue system was placed upon a war
basis; the Pacific Railroad was put in
operation ; the telegraph around the
world was inaugurated ; the infamous
fugitive-slave law was repealed; the
army and navy have been doubled;
railroads have been built, and in every
part of the country we see wonderful
evidences of prosperity.
General Butlei Removed,
For some cause General Butler has
been removed frotn the command of
the army of the James, and Gen. Ord
takes his place.
• The following is General Butler's
farewell address to his army :
"HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OE VIR•

THE JAMEIii, January 8, 1865 —Soldiers
of the Army of the James—Yopr com

duct in the field - has extorted praises
from the unwilling. You have endur•

march without a murmur. You have
never failed in attack when ordered.
You have stormed and carried works
deemed impregnable by the enemy- 7 .
you have shown them to be so by hold.
ing them - against his fiercest assaults
in the attempt to retake thorn. Those
skilled in war have marvelled at the '
obstacles overcome_ by your valor.
Your line of works has excited the
wonder of officers of other nations,
who have come to learn defensive !val•
from the monuments of your skilled
labor.' Your deeds have rendered your
names illustrious in after times. Your
'General's proudest memory will be to
say, with you, "I, too, was of tho Army
'of the JaMes." To share such com
panionship is pleasant; to participate
in such acts in honor; to have com•
mended such on army is glory !
No one could yield it without regret.
Knowing your willing obedience to or

of your blood in your country's cause,
Ihave been chary of the piecious charge
confided to me. I have refused to or

PENNSYLVANIA QUOTA TO BE REDUC
ED.—The Legislative Committee re
turned from their visit to Washington
on Thursday last. The Committee
had an interview with Provost Mar.
Ghat General Fry, who informed thorn
that a new assignment of quotas will
bo made in a few days, and that the
quotaof Pennsylvania will be reduced.
Men who have deserted after being
Mustered in Will be credited to the
districts for which they volunteered,
and naval enlistments for. unknown
terms will he accounted as for three
years. The quota of New York will
be increased. General Fry. says that
the Government is determined this
time to have the men, and will arrange
accordingly.
It is also said that the interpretation
put upon Provost Marshal General
Fry's recent order in reference to
cre'dits under former .calls for troops
was wrong and unjust to that officer.
Every district is fully credited with
the number of men it has furnished.--
The details were such as to satisfy
entirely the Committee of tho Legis
at ure of this State who recently went
to Washington in reference to the
matter.
The Decline of the Rebellion.
The mission that the great American
conflict was designed, to fulfill is ra
pidly behig completed,- after almost
four years of ceaseless toil and strife,
and an unremittod flow of blood and
treasure. The loyal men of the land
have repeatedly declared that it is
far better• to give the last drop of blood
and expend the last dollar to continuo
the war for the suppression of rebel
lion, and restore and perpetuate the
Americar. Republic intact, than that
the South should succeed. Though
the last drop of patriotic blood and
the last dollar is far from being ex
hausted, we can view the progress of
the war with intense feelings of rap
tare and grtititude, knowing that the
end of the bloody controversy draws
nigh. As wo n•ituess the decline of
the rebellion, we behold also the ro•
fining process that our Nation is ex
periencing. What the reereant, trai•
tors have learned in endeavoring to
overthrow this Government and ar
raying against it one of theil• own
fond desire, will be deeply insulled
and long remembered. Thcy have
learned, and dearly too, their weak
ness in opposing with their impassion.
ed millions the patriotic hosts of the
Union. They have learned that it is
impossible to keep the minds of the
ignorant masses always filled with •
prejudice and rankling with envy and
revenge against the Government
which protected them, and secured to
them each a freeman's rights. The
leaders of the rebellion know this, and
endeavor by every moans possible to
profit by the sad lesson they have
learned. They have long, 'tie true,
kept their army in a state of enmity
towards us, for the furtherance of
their-designs, but, the blinded hosts
begin to see clearly where their lea
ders would plunge them. Dissatisfac
tion has occurred, desertions have en
sued, and the people throughout the
South aro cherishing the disaffee
ted spirit, and cry, "For what are we
fighting ?" leaders painfully
see all this, and have endeavored to
check the wide spreading fooling, but
all of no avail. The war must end, peace
must be restored, is the gene-al voice
of the army end people of the South.
The rebellion, under this state of dis
affection, cannot withstand much long
er the force of the united and deter
mined attacks of the Union armies—
The rebels must succumb, and their
leaders we trust will receive the full
punishment that their iniquity de
' serves.
PEACE.—Thorn may be something
in the peace rumors, but we prefer to
wait until we can see -through the
smoke before we venture to predict
too much. One thing is certain, the
Union sentiment is gaining ground
daily in all the Southern States, and
Jeff. Davis may soon be forced to back
down. ' The Southern people are he.
ginning : to think and act., for them
selves.
UV-Senators Hall and Haines and
A: W. Benedict, Esq., will please ac
cept- our thanks for Records and public
donut:new,
The Rebellion Subsiding.
The news from the South foreshad
ows the speedy fall of the Jeff. Davis
dynasty. Prom Savannah, recently
captured by Sherman, we have an ac•
count of a meeting of members of the
Masonietlrder, in :which representa
tives from nearly all the loyal and
disloyal States took part, all meeting
in perfect amity, and recognizing the
supremacy of the Federal Government
and deliberating under the folds of the
old Flag. The occasions is said to
have been a most interesting one, nu•
gariDg the happiest results.
A very large Unisn meeting, called
by the Mayor at the request of prom•
inent citizens, was also held in the
Masonic 11 - nil of the same city on the
evening of the 28th December. The
Mayor presided, and made a sensible
opening address on taking the Chair.
A. preamble and series of resolutions
were adopted, from which wo copy the
following significant ones, to wit :
Whereas, By the fortunes of war,
and the surrender of the city by tho
civil authorities, Savannah passes once
more under the authority of the tini
ted States : and, whereas, wo believe
that the interests of the city will be
best 'observed and promoted by a free
and full expression of our views in re
lotion to our present condition, we,
therefore, the people of Savannah, in
full mectircg assembled, do hereby re
solve,
1. That we accept the position, and
in the language of the President of the
United States, seek to have "peace by
laying down our arias and submitting
to the national authority under the
Constitution," "leatvi-g all questions
which remain, to be adjusted by the
peaceful means of legislation, confer
once and votes."
Resolved, 2. That laying aside "all
differences, and burying bygones in
the - grave of the past, we will use our
best. endeavors once more to bring
back the preSperity and commerce wo
once enjoyed.
Resolved, 3. That we do not put our
solves in the position of a conquered
city asking terms of the conqueror. but
we claim the immunities and privileg
es contained in the Proclamation and
:tlessage of the President of the Uni
ted States, and in all the legislation of
Congress in reference to a people tit
tutted as we are, and while we owe
on our part a strict obedience to the
laws of the United States, wo ask the
protection of our lives, persons and
property, recognized by those laws.
Resolved, 4 That we respectfully
request his Excellency, the Governor.
to call a convention of the people of
Georgia, by any constitutional moans
in his power, to give them an oppor
tunity of voting upon this question,
whether ,they, wish the war between
the two tieCLitiott - tr the onOntry , to ocin
Untie.
Resetved, 6. That an official copy of
these resolutions be sent to the Presi
dent of the United States, the Gorer
nor of Georgia, General Sherman, and
to each, of tho Mayors of Augusta, Col
umbus, Macon and Atlanta.
—Simultaneously with this move
raent we have a wail from the capitol
of Rebeldom; contained in an article
from The _Richmond Sentinel which
will be found in last week's Globe, slid
to have been written by Jeff. Davis
It is alleged, in substance, that Davis
despair:tot the , uocess ho started to win.
viz : the establishment of a Slave
Confederacy whereof its Irkoe Presi
dent proclaimed Slavery to be the
corner•stone, and its perpetuation the
main if not the sole object of the Re.
hellion. Of that Mr. Jeffersor. Davis
now declares he has no hope. Ile
abandons the object for which he has
fought four years and bogs fur a Eu
ropean protectorate. and foreign aid
as the only means of battling anemia
fully with the United States. To pro•
cure.this aid he is willing to abandon
Slavery—to arm the negroes and
grant them the boon of freedom iii
consideration of their fighting for their
masters who for so many years have
ground them in the dust. Of course
Samnbo will be slow to accept this
doubtful promise, wrung from his
task-masters in their extronuty, nor
will any European power, which are
all selfish, he willing to help a C 311136
so utterly hopeless. Secretary Sew•
ard, we are told, has had copies of the
article published and is dispatching
them to the European powers afore
said as proof positive that Jeff. as good
as admits that the game is up.
WAR NEWS SUMMARY.

road.
The rebel General Forrest is repro
:J.cnted to be concentrating a large
force at Paris; Tennessee. A groat

murdering Union men. Rumors pre
vail of a large force being organized
to attack Paducah again.
Advices from the army of the Po
tomac state that the rebel cavalry

dition in the Shenandoah Valley, quite
a number oF woldiers got rather oblivi
ous under the effects. of the beverage
called apple jack. By order of the
General they were strapped on their

temperance principles.
It iS said that a number of Savannah
merchants,formerly largely connected
with the usiness community of New
York, are making ready to proceed
North tot the purpose of settling up
old vecounts, and starting anew on the
old basis. They hope to win hack the
commerce of which the rebellion rob
bed their fair city, and to restore it to
more than its former prosperity. All
the accounts speak hopefully of the
spirit manifested, and the exis
tenee of a positive Union sentiment in
the city.
General Butler's report of Wilming
ton is Understood to have arrived in
Washington at the same time with
that of Admiral Porter. The facts of
its being withhold by the Secretary of

form their opinions solely from Porter,
is the subject of some curious com
meats.

to the 10th, three hundred and eighty
seven deserters from Leo's army have
come into General Grant's lines. Thu
majority ;- of them were Georgians.
Tennessecans and North Carolinians. ,
Eighteen men were executed at Pe
tersburg in oao day. the week previous
for attempting to desert through .-siu.e
linart7 tte., from
coming over on account attic extreme
rigor of the rebel authorities in this
respect. Cases of attempted deser
tion are tried by a drum-head court
martial, and instant death is the pun
ishmeht inflicted.

PETROLEUM PaPLOSIONS.7--A petro
leum distiller tvritos : There are two
principal causes of the many accidents .
which hor.i o,:eurred in the explosions
of coal oil. The first arises from the
ignorance or want of care in tho per.
son having charge of the lamps. It
is indispensable, in filling the lamp,
to leave a sufficient space for the
or expansion of the fluid which is
necessarily produced by the heat of
the room., and by the combustion of
the oil in the lamp. It can be easily
understood that the oil, under these
circumstances, having increased its
volume, may occasion an explosion,
especially if the lamp ici cracked or
has any other flaw or defect.
The second cause of an explosion is
owing to the intentional admixture of
benzine With the oil. It can be easily
ascertained Wittiout an instrument if
tho oil contains benzine. By pouring
into a cup or saucer a small quantity
of oil, and then applying to it a lighted
match ; if the oil does not take firo
im
mediately, it may be Considered of
good quality, and free from any ex
plosive admixttire.

The Impending Draft.
Tho following facts will be of inter
est to all who may bo liable to the
draft :
Volunteers receive the Government
bounty according to the time for Which
they agree to serve. For one year,
$lOO ; for two years; $2OO ; for three
years, $3OO. These amounts are paid
in installments. To a one year's vol
unteer, when mustered in, $3B 33; toa
two year's recruit, 66 66; to a three
year's recruit, $lOO. Two other in
stallments are to be paid to the volun
teer or his representative during the
term of service. The monthly pay of
private,, either volunteer, substitute
or drafted man, is sixteen dollars a
mouth. Non-cOmmissioued and corn
misSioned officers receive an increased
pay beyond the rates which were al
lowed before the last session of Con
gress.
Drafted men . receive no bounty,'
either from the Federal Government
or• the city, neither do substitutes for
drafted men, or mon liable to draft fur
nished in advance of the draft i receive
bounties from the Government. Rep
resentative substitutes, for persons not
liable to draft, are considered as volun
tours, and receive the Federal and
municipal bounties, and whatever their
principal agrees to pay theme. Repro•
sentativo feibstitutes for those not
able to draft in# be, persons who ar•e
liable.. It should be borne in mind,
however, that substitutes for persons
liable to draft, furnished before draft
ing roust not themselves be liable.
Au enrolled man furnishing an alien
as a subStitute, is exempt for the time
of service of the substitute, unless the
alien becomes a citizen, - or declares his
intention to become so, in which case
the substitute is liable to draft, and
his principal likewise. 'A man may en
list in the army or navy for three years
as a substitute. If in the navy he must
be twenty three years old.
Those interested in the draft should
pay particular: attention that the
names of all tbose not liable to be
stricken from the enrollment list.
Every name taken off reduces the
quota of the district. Each of the
wards, while they appoint a committee
to collect funds to furnish volunteers,
should appoint a committee to hunt
up all the exempts of the district
who my be enrolled, and see that
their names are dropped
The followin ,, dispatch.from the
Provost Marshal-General, in reterence
to t.n inquiry as to the allowance
made on this call for men put in under
previous requisitions thr troops for
twe•and three years, indicates a pus
sible very important reduction in the
city's quota :

Careless Writers,
The report of Postmaster Dennison
shows an extraordinary amount of
carelessness on the part of the letter
writing community. Three million
five hundred and eight thousand and
twenty five dead letters wore received
during the past yearover pine thous.
and a day. Many of these letters
contained money, deeds, bills of ox
change, drafts, checks, jewelry and
other valuables. Some of them were
misdirected, others not directed at all,
others unstamped, and others only
partially directed. Thousands of
these dead letters were returned to
the writers; but the great majority
had to bo destroyed. This statement
ought to teach the public to be more
careful in their correspondence ; for
the amount of suffering caused by
these lost letters is incalculable.
