Ta the young it always brings mirth and jollity in its merry train. It is the grand gala season of the year—a time of freedom in iia broadest sense—a period of unrestrain ed enjoyment, when the quiet “old folks” uro respectfully requested by “Young Amor icu j; to stand aside, and give place, to the romp, the. sport ami. the dance. Just about, this time the * *llltie folks” arc beginning to prepare their biggest stockings, fur the ex pected .visit of their (tuuic-ftt friend, Smite Clam, who always manages to creep tlfro’agb the must ■ diminutive key-holes, and steal down the smallest*chimneys, exprcssly-lor the .purpose of filling their baskets'with all kinds of treasures.

Christmas!-- As we write the wjrl thoughts of happy, ! hilarious, long-t'i-bo-reim : iuboi*ed festivities j flit through our mind. • Christmas 1 What associations cling around its memories. In f-pUu uf war’s alarms,, in spite of the mclan- j choiy pall whiob hangs over our once happy •country, the natural juvenescenco of the lui- j man heart asserts itself oyer all 1-ro-abJos and afflictions, at the relurn of this over precious - reason. Away,’Mien, for the time, with -nSJ j thoughts of sorrow, wi th all memories that the mind or afflict the heart,-and let) ns think of nothing but imparling or receiv ing happiness and pleasure. This is no sea , faou for complaining. The old owe it to the young that no shade ol sadness should check their fervor of expectations of cnjinmeut.—■ The rich owe it to the poor tjiat charity, with ' open hand and heart, should he busy in dis pensing its gifts at which reminds Us of Him, who gave all for us. The happy owe it fo tire afflicted, that the “ bruised reed” ehdll be lilted up' and tbo sorrowing heart fdiall not go uncumfbrtod. But, above all, it ir. to the dear little ones, that we owoatAUis lime our smiles and favors. It is onvphartL oally childhood’s holiday, and’ifc is the'pvk i!ege of all to administer somethings though it be a “ trifie light as air,” to its cnjoVment.

We, have, ‘in these columns, frequently averred that Abolition principles and teach ings tend to Infidelity. To apeak plainly. a thorough-going, radical Abolitionist must L’e an Infidel at heart and a scoffer at Divine; precepts'and example; he must deny por tions of the sacred writings, ignore flic Di vinity of Christ, and the Bible view of slavery. Many loading Abolitionists make 'bold to confess that they assume grounds and advocate dogmas antagonistic to the teach ings of the Bible. Hence it - was that the leading Abolition member of*the lower House of Congress, a few years ago, in a set speech, declared that his Giarfy repudiated many passages contained h.'TViehnly Rook, and the teachings of Christ, in reference to slavery, and that if tlvcv could not have “ on anft« slavery ekv Goo. Tell us, y e Abo-;, lition pulpit orators of Pennsylvania, taul; “ Republican” leaders in general, ard yon i aware of the gulph that yawns before you, and into which you arc urging the people? Look at the action of gour Congress, and theb 1 say whether Abolitionism Is not considered paramount to Christian belief. ■Wo will no’v see whether our intensely i “ loyal” preachers arc really the followers l of Christ or the followers of part}’. They have talked nbbut'lhcir “ loyalty to the Gov ernment,” and .they construed “loyalty” to I .mean Abolitionism, and the “Government” •'to mean that man dt big feet and no brains, Lincoln. We will now see, we say, whether their “ loyalty” to Christ of their “ loyally”' to -“Govcrnm’pivt SLascoln” is the greatest.— Will a-man Of them dare speak in condcm natiori of the action of the House in the elec tion of Mr. CnANNi.VG ? WiM they dare re sent this insult to the religion they profess, ct wilt their Abolition -principles and mock “loyalty” induce them to remain dumb on .the subject? Wo shall sue. Look again ot the wickedness and open (profligacy that -at present distinguishes Washington. We are advised by’aiHofficial report of the cit} T offi cers of Washington--the cnpitol of-a .great, Christian people—that that city is one vast house of infamy and prostithttibH. Seven' TUOI'BAND public prosliiutcsY'by.aclud.l count; as reported in a Washington paper, dMily parade tho streets, and nightly by their in famous orgies, provoke the direst wrath of Heaven.

In the House of.RepVChcntativcs at Wash ington, on the U“th inst., a certain, Hr. Smith (sou of Johu Smith, ■wo presume,) of KenfvA**)/, offered the following treasonable, hlfainous and insulting resolution, which was adopted by a vote of 93 yeas, to Cl nays --being a solid Abolition vote for, and a solid Democratic vote against it.-. We desire the attention of the reader to the wording of tldo most devilish resolution that the wooly-hcail members of Congress have adopted. 'lf says that this Government is to “oppose any nr- misticc, or intervention,- or mediation, dr proposition of peace, u frovi any vni'artbr, no long us there shall he found a rebel in arms against the Government.” According to this, one single rebel guerrillaMnay continue the war till dooms-day, oven if all other rebels desire peace..

If tins is to bo our policy, then indeed we will neverhave peace, for we place it out of the power of the rebel authorities to make a “ proposition of peace." We arc. to “ fight on and fight ever,” until cverv man, and every dollar is exhausted, and oven then we may find one rd'lVcl in arms,, and the contest not emhd 1 The men who voic'd fdr’thifc resolution de- to be branded traitors to their coun try, and thc f fui£iA of scorn should be pointed at tlieVa during the balance of their worthless lives. It is a dcliberate insiilf-to the nation and to the army—a declaration that we will not accept peace ou any terms whatever. — Just think ufthepc bleck, well-fed Abolition •members of Congress—nearly al.I of whom have had their polluted hands, deepjnfo the public treasury—saying to the rebels -that we (the people of the North,) are opposed to any armistice, or intervention, or proposition of peace from any quarter. A more bu.se sentiment and sweltering falsehood never was uttered by man or devil. We would also direct attention to the latter clause of tins resolution. It says (-.’peaking for the Black Republicans who voted for it,) “we -ignore party names, lines ami. issues, and-recognize but two parties in this vfar, viz : pafriftU and trutlors.” Language like this, and lies like those, are sometimes in- dulged in by tow-bred buffoons on Ibe stump, 'but the idea ot Congress passing a resolution containing such slung, is disgraceful to us ns. a nation. They {tire Black Ucpu'blieans-.) , ignore party names,-UncSrind issue*,‘indeed 1., Whiit unblushing falsehoods. They cull them selves “-Republicans/' and a mure proscrip tive, bigoted, ignorant and dishonest party never existed in this or any oilier country.— They use the army, pulpit, leeture-roomynd money of the people in aid of their devilish dogmas, and every run who differs with them on the subject of negro equality,* is hunted' down and persecuted to the .hitter end. And they {Thud, Stevens; Lovejoy, and their wouty-bead colleagues,) denounce all men as “ traitors 1 ' whb cannot and will not bow down und worship the black Aboli tion idol they h-ave set up.

But, to the res olution about which we have been speaking, llcrc it is, with the pames of the sneaking ators who' voted for it: Mr. Smith, of Kentucky, an imported Van kcc from Massachusetts, submitted a series of resolutions of winch the fulfuwing was tl.c first in order; Jlcsolvcd, Thatyis our country, and the very existence of the best government ever instituted by man, is imper'd-ed by I lie-most, immoral, causeless and Wicked rebellion th .'t | the world has ever seen; and believing, as 1 we do, that tho only hope of saving the Union ■ and preserving the government is by the ’■ power, of the sword., we are for the most vig orous pr».K„*cution olf-the w.ar, until the Con stitu ion and laws shall he enforced and obeyed in all parts of tbc.Onitcd States; ami, • to that end, wo oppose any armistice, or in*. . tervention, or mediation, or proposition o!f peace, from any quarter, po long as there shall he found a rebel in anna against tho government.

The Washington correspondent of the Phil: adelphiit '-Z/wiif/cr, in his letter of the Istb inat. says; . . “Health of the President. —The Presi dent lias so far recovered Ida health as to en able him to visit Ford's Theatre nightly." All hail, Abraham 1., How encouraging to all pious Republicans to know that you "still livo,”iind that you are able “to visit Bonn's theatre nightly," It is well that the deep groans of your countrymen, the loud, yobs of the widow and the orphan, and the ‘clanking of the chains and fetters 6t desert ing " conscripts" have no effect upon your health, nor tend to mar your pleasure, in the least. It is vtdil, Sve say, for’if these things troubled you, you would he less disposed to deal in levity' and attend theatres nightly, and yout valuable life might be in danger. Frmpnhe letter of the same correspondent we take the following: .“Major-Gen.

What the radicals of Missouri failed to ac complish lias been successfully" put through" by a cabal of corrupt politicians, of which that most infamous rascal and cut-throat, Jim Lane ot Kansas, is the bead and'front. Those are the mpn who control the President, and are " the power behind the throne great er than the throne itself." Like tho Jaco bins of Franco, in tho bloody times of the French revolution, they have assumed pow er mid dictate such measures us they please. What tiro we coming to? Haro is another piece of news from the same quarter .* , • - “ Report. —The Secretary ol War Ira- ordered General MeOiiEU.AN’s re port fo I*o printed.

R.diiical considerations alone dictated (Ids mean and dastardly conduct of the adminis tration.

They contain many “loyal, thieve!*,*'who talk large, and who are in favor of t he war going on so long as a man stands or a dollar lemains in the country; hut when the President issues hie Proclamation asking for “ i> ( 0,000 more” “loyal” nVfen for hisur. my, these boasters, like the Irishman's flea, are “>nut there.

They refuse to enlist, and when they are threatened with a draft,.they put their wits to work, arid come to Pennsyl vania to steal our negroes, .and put these ner groes in the army : as -eo many men from their States. /Thus they /escape fighting, and place the burthen upon the shoulders of their sa-. bio friends, about whoso wrongs they have preached eo long and '.persistently. • Never ini mi New England—the men there are coin" ing millions of dollars out of the war, but no device of the Government can make them face live rebels. The .shooting of deserters is becoming an every day occurrence. A'Washington letter writer says ■_ “ Deserters to. he Shot.—Eleven oxecn linns for desertion will take place in the Ar my of the Potomac on I’riday nest. The names of the condemned are US'follows:; Winslow N. Allen, 76th N. Y.; Wm. 11. Deroe, (17th X. Y.; Win. Gibson, 40th.NIe.-; •John Dunklc. 1-ltli U. S. Infantry ; Jacob Oialcr, 14th U. S.

We arc'well aware that, according to mil itary Jaw,’an enlisted man who deserts,.’can hc eltot. ite are not sure, however, wheth er a drafted man comes under the same stringent regulation. Perhaps ho'does.— But, these military executions are iioi-rihlp, and some' other mode of punishment should bo adopted, fifore than tliis, the administra tion itself has been guilty of treachery, If not treason, and is as culpable as the deserter. Our men who enlisted, as well ns those who were drafted, were assured that they were to fight for.a restoration of the old Upton. Now they are told that u they yiro to do .battle* not for the Onion as if was, but for negro free dom and negro equality. The treachery of tho administration —its double-dealing and •false professions—have demoralized.portions of tho nririy, and hence it is that desertion is so frequent. Hence it is that we hear ofmil itary executions almost daily. We would not excuse or palliate the crinm of desertion, but we think the shooting of a man for this offende a relic of barbarispi that should no longer be resorted to.

Fetter. —The Perry coun ts T)<)}}orral announces death of Gen. Henry Fetter,, at his residence in Landis burg, on the 10th inst, in the 70th of Ins ago. Democrat says: “ Ills .life was iisefnl and honorable. He ffiip a man of the strictest integrity, and all who knew him re spected him. As a State Senator from this district he discharged his duty faithfully.; his most bitter opponents acknowledging, bis worth. As a man lie waa kind and benevo lent; as a public servant he never failed to do his duty. Above suspicion, he-lived and died au honest man—the noblest work nf God.” A ycmmal and intimate acquaint ance with the, deceased of nearly twenty years enables us to boar testimony to the truthfulness .of this eulogy. A Live Crab is a CniurV Stomach.— The last number of the Lycoming Gazette contains the following account of a singular case; A child of Mr. Wheelnnd, residing- in the lower end ol this borough, eighteen months of age, was the subject of violent pain in the stomach, unless when under the effect of nar cotics. attended with increasing debility and wasting away of the system. Several physi cians, hail been in attendance who pronoun ced it nothing more (ban seveie cholic, ami prescribed accordingly, but wf.hout produ cing any permanent effect. Miss Young, M. D. # whs ultimately applied to. <">n a thor ough examination ot the body; and pressing her hand, on the stomach, she felt sum thing move, and became satisfied some living orce in re was there, a*-d to remove b applied ap propriate. remedies. These find the dc-Mied effect. Aerah, one inch and a half in length, with sixteen legs, claws very oharp-and cov ered with scales, was the result. Some life still remained. From that time the child recovered, and became perfectly hoaJthiv. The •F.ijppocii.juii is the rgg was swallowed, or the creature when very small- In the stomach of so young a child the eg g would dlatch, which would not be the case with one more advanced in life. Miss Young lias the crab bn Vi state of preservation. Thus the life of tbi+s child was saved by the skill of this lady, whose reputation as a successful practitioner is fully established in this com munity. by the restoration of persons afflic ted with ,intricate and dangerous complaints. Strike Among the Clgrot.-i-A strike pf the clergy,, for higher salaries to meet the .cost of living, is being agitated in New En gland, and seems imminent. The majority of country pastors do not average more than SGOO a year, and this is not • equivalent, ns prices now are, to $4OO previous to the war —a. sum wholly inadequate to support them at the present time. We don't know whether the strikers can adduce any scriptural prece dent to. sustain them. We don’t read of many strikes among the Apostles—hut then they hadn’t any rebellion on their hands, nor was Secretary Chase and the greenback dis pensation as plenty then as now. The Pranking Privilege.—As the ses sion of Congress lmsjustbe§n commenced, it will he well for the public to be reminded of an important change in,the franking privi* lege. Heretofore, as it will be remembered, all letters’to and from members of Congress passed .through the mails free of postage.— Now, however, it o)u&t be borne in mind that only the letters from a member of Congress can pas’s free of postage. 7 All correspondence with nn’Si. C, must be paid, as are'.all the letters to a -private individual. The remem brance of this fact will save much delay in the transaction of business, both of a public and private character. 51 as.

For Banking purposes and for investments of Trust-muiies tbo Registered Bonds are preferable. These 5-20's cannot be taxed by States, cities, towns q.r counties, and the Government ,nx on themas-enly one-nhd.a-half per cent.'on the amount of income, when tho income of the ladder exceeds Six Hundred dollars per annum ; all other invest ments, such as income from Mortgages, Railroad Stock and JBonffs, etc., must pay from three to five per cent ta-x on the'income. ' ‘ ■ Banks and Bankers throughout the Country will continue to dispose of the Bonds; and all .orders by. mail; or otherwise promptly attended to. The inconvenience of a few days’ delfly in tlic .delivery of’the Bonds is unavoidable, the. demand being s 6 groat but ,as interest' commences from tbo day of subscription, no loss is occasioned, and every effort is being made to diminish the delay.
