That, if true, shows that .-metliing has been gained, at least, for tho ■r iliant soldiers of {he North. There wiilbe great disappointment through out tlio country upon tho announcement of i..is failure of the "peace mission.'i* The masses of tho people have not for a moment suspected that the whole matter could haye been a political trick. They have been in clined , to credit tho peace manifestations of oar higlj Government officials to puroandpa e.iotlo motives, and to bolioro that in court ing and meeting an exchange of opinion with tho South, aa they did, that conciliation, con-. .cession and compromise would be at least moderately introduced.

That-no porson shall bd excluded from travel upon any railroad or' navigable waters within the United States on account of color,-by reason of any State law or- municipal ordinance, or of any rule, reg ulation or usage of any corporation, company or person • whatever, and colored passengers shall be subject and amenable to tbo same laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and usa ges ns are white passengers; and any corpor ation, company or persptf - offending against the provisions of this act, shall, upon convic tion in any court of the United States, be punished by a fine of not less than §5OO, or an imprisonment not less than six months provided that nothing therein contained shall interfere with an Executive order, made un der the laws-of the United States. - Peter E. Eoe, The bill was ordered to bo printed, and will be enacted into a law shortly. It will bo soon that by the provisions of this bill, no groes-aro to have all tbo privileges of white ladiesand gentlemen in rail-road cars, steam boats,stages, and other conveyances, &o.— They are to oat at Hie same table, occupy'the Bumo parlors on boats, and bo treated in all respects the same as white passengers. ‘And any person refusing those privileges to ouf fy, is fined §5OO, and imprisoned! 'Who would have supposed that a proposition like this could have boon seriously entertained in the United States Senate? It is not only enter tained, however, but if wo can believe the correspondent of the Now 1 York Tribune, “will certainly pass into a law very soon.” In tho name of heaven where is this fanati cism to stop ? 11 is no longer nogro-eqnality, but negro-superiority that tho loading friends of tho National administration aro driving at. At theprcsoutliourihousauds of nogros, mon women and children, aro found in-clothing and draw rations directly from the Govern ment. Nay more, thousands aro schooled at expense.of the’Treasury, and a “ Freedman's Department” .is to bo established for tho ex press purpose of providing ways and means for the comfort'd! negroes. Can poor white mon and women bo thus provided for ? Are poor white children thus schooled and cured for? No, no—their white skins deprives them of all thoso favors; none but “Ameri can citizens of African scent” dare expect fa vors from tho, fanatics new in authority.— Whither aro wo drifting, and whore will we land ? The Custom House at Philadelphia was robbed by a “ loVal" thief a few weeks ago. It appears that G. M. Allen, the cashier, nud who is a relative of the Collector, is the beau ty who boro off the prize. The amount sto lon was some §59,000; most of it gold. Al len has boon under arrest for some weeks, butwaa broughtbeforo the United States Com missioner a few days ago, for tho purpose of entering bail for his future appearance. The amount of bail was fixed at $50,000, just §9,- 000 less than the amount stolen. Allen was thereupon set at liberty. We make the pre diction now that he jvill never bo punished, nor will he refund a dollar to tho Govern ment. Ho is an officer of that patriotic or ganization in Phlidelphia,- known a 5 tho “ Loyal Leagueis a boon companion of prominent shoddyites—those rascals who have become rich in bellowing for tho negro, when a.t tho same time they wore defrauding the Government. lie is all right at head quarters, and he knows it. Heretofore it has boon the,universal custom for the cashier "at the Custom House to give heavy bail as security to the (government.— But no bail had been required of Allen ; he was so very “loyal,” that he was taken on trust; ao the Government has no resort; the money is lost. Its a small amount, however, only §59,000, in gold. When we consider that thefts amounting to hundreds of thous ands occur daily; wo must say Allen has been quite modest, and has proved himself an exception to the general rule-observed by “ loyal thieves.” ’ The following candid confession appeared in Forney's - Washington Chronicle —the semi- official organ of the Friday last: \ “ For our own part, slavery being practi cally and constithtionally abolished, wo are ready to co'noede everything olse-to recall our erring brethren.” * . "f The Patriot and Union copies the above, and then says—Who will date deny now, in the face of what Forney says, that the war has been waged solely for .the African an® his race ? This is not a negro war, forsooth ! and -yet everything will be- conceded—now that slavery is “ practically abolished.” Oh, thou glorified Nigger—(whom Forney allows to shiver in misery and die of starvation un der the shadow of his office and the bronze statue of Freedom, without a qualm of con science) —what lies are- told in thy name.— Forney knows, and the whole rotten leader ship of shoddy know, that in their own hearts there is all the.inherent barbarism of slave drivers; that they have labored for the de struction of slavery, not as philanthropists, but ns politicians ; not to bring freedom and happiness to the blacks, but to destroy their political rival—the Demooratip'party—which they have supposed rested upon a slave ba sis. -Having now, as they think, accomplish ed that obj ect, they will concede everything else, and allow the forty thousand unfortu nate .blacks, right under their eyes and noses in Washington, to rot in poverty and starva tion. Behoved Because he Woui.d not. pat Two Dor. ears, —Wo learn that E. W. Hill, post master at Kishaooquillas, has boon removed from office, and S. Z. Sharp appointed in his place. Mr. Hill occupied the pffioe a rjumber of years, and discharged its' duties to the en tire satisfaction of the people of that, section of all parties. The cause of his’ removal is thus given: During the political, campaign last fall Mr. Hill was notified, by a polite note from Washington, that an assessment' of $2 had been made upon him, for the pur pose of aiding in the re-election of Abraham' Lincoln, find an immediate remmittanos of the amount was requested. But, Mr. Hill, for reasons satisfactory to himself of any oth er honest man, declined to make the remit tance. .

' ANOTHER BIG STEAL. CONCEDE EVERITDINtt. LATTER DAY PATRIOTISM. Doctor (Johnson onco defined patriotisnito he, tho last resort of a scoundrel:’! In these dayait is tho first. With the sounding word upbnhialips’, the vilest political renegade, the ■most reckless place hunter, ortho lowest df, pot-house brawlers, parades himself before, the people.and_ claims their suffragdg. .And that Such as hes uoceeds, the history of the past few years furnishes ample proof. . ’Patriotism - , ns understood by the politician, moans office - ; by tbo official, plunder": and so they fatten and thrivo-upon the vile decep tion and laugh at the gullubility of tho peo ple. No grand and holy inspiration, no sub lime spirit of sacrifice, animates your Jotter day political patriot. Ilimsolf first, last and, alwoys ; the welfahe of his country, its glory and prosperity,-aro in-his consideration only mete matters of bargain and sale—they are tho make-weights in -thescale of purchases. With Wendell-Phillips, patriotism is tho almighty Ethiopian; with Brigham Young it is polygamy ; with statesmen of tho Sew ard , school it is a shield behind which an able political cliarlatin, laboring for a Presidential'nomination shall arrange his of ficial thimbles, and tho tricks, trap^-and dK ahlorio with wliioh ho may huodwink a cred ulous .people and gain his point. With ah incumbent of the Presidential chair patriot ism means conscription, and with all tho less or lights that glimmer around tho' central power it means plunder and place. Tho patriotism of the dominant party isol thatextfonloly tensive nature that a very smal portion of it vvlll spread over an immense sur face. A very small dose of it operates pow- erfully. The -Republican uses it as a cathait io, and in tho name of patriotism cleans- tho body politic of thoso ol the Democratic faith who aro honest enough to cling to tho faith of tho founders of the republic—cleans tho political world of their presence, and winds up tho treatment of their case by a course of Fort Lafnyotlo or some 'other mjlitary Bas. tile. , All this in,the name of patriotism.— Radical llepublicaniom' wraps itself up in tho American flag, and with “ Patriotism” as its war cry, denounces tho unfortunate un believers in tho superiority of tho race of Dahomy, as traitors and lories. While tho true, patriots of tho, country are in the field battling for its dearest hopes, its honor and tho perpetuity of its'intogrity,'tho sham patriots—thoso fellows who,'according to their own assumption, are boiling over with loyalty and patriotism—are: holding high rjvol in greenback plunder, and by all tho official knavery and political jugglery they can command, aro seeking to postpone tho day of peaoo, even when seeming tho-’ more "anxious for its consummation. Tho patriotism of to-day, as illustrated by. the party in power, is simply a tiling of self aggrandizement. Whon that party does be come really patriotic and loyal to tho coun try and its welfare, tho first ovidcnco wo will have of that change will bo peace, a fair, hon orable and lasting peace. SKINNIS© THE TRAITORS, Tho Harrisburg Patriot. and Union bestows a first rate notioe.upon the two professed Democrats in Congress from this State who voted for the amendments to the Constitution of the United States prohibiting, slavery. -The Patriot , of course, has not a word to say about Bailv, representing, this district, who voted the same way, as ho has long ago bean given over to tho Abolitionists, and has boon emphatically condemned by his Democratic constituents. But of Messrs. CoFraorii and McCallister tho Patriot roughly— not too roughly—remarks: Wo are astounded at this—not so much however, in the ease of Archibald McAllister as in-that of Alexander 11. Coffroth ; the for mer having been, from his first induction in to legislative honors, Of a milk-and water con sistency politically, and whqhas so long see sawed between two opinions that the poor creature probably scarcely knows what ho is, where,he came from, or what he is at present doing. And yet we ought not to be astonish ed at the political defection of Coffroth, eith er, more especially as several days ago it was intimated in our-Washington correspondence, that the stool-pigeon was wavering on his porch, ready at any moment to take his anx ious flight to the well filled feed troughs of the shoddy-dovecote. 'The ilOmooratic con stituency of Bedford, Fulton and Somerset, thus betrayed, and the public in general, will need but little explanation of Coffroth’s trea son to the principles upon which ho was ele vated beyond his merits. Ho is,involved in a contest for a second term in tho seat which ho lias disgraced, and , it depends upon the shoddy membership whether he shall be suc cessful. It needs no casuist to ehow.that, to secure another term in Congress, he has sold himself and betrayed his party and its prin ciples. To help Iris cause in that contest we devoted time and space in his service. • Wo hope God and Democracy will forgive us for that mistake—aye, that almost crime I We didlliot know nor suspect that ho was clutch ing his-price in his hand, or the party that now owns.him might have settled the dispute between its cormorants and stcol-pigeons for all wo should have cared. We have no); yet scop a report of Coffroth’s “speech” on this occasion., When we do wo shall have more to say on tho subject. It will be seen that ho “gave his vote as a Demo crat, and would constantly stand by the or ganization.” This has been the cant of eve ry scoundrel who has sold himself to shoddy since tho war commenced. It is not for such medipero mop as Aleck Coffroth to'make landmarks and form principles for the Dem ocratic parly. When such ns ho,get out of the beaten .track, they are out—not the par ty. He gave his vote to shoddy” as a Dem oorat 1” -Pray how does a Democrat oast a' shoddy vote ? He “ would oonsistan tly stand by tho organization of his party.” Hi* par ty is now the shoddy party—no ot[rgr. If ho means to stand by that, let him stand,' and draw his pay, and roll in corruption,' and cover himself with everlasting infamy to hiß everlasting Ratification; but let him never essay to claim fraternity with the Democratic organization, to whose prin ciples he has dealt his most insidious and cowardly blow. Democracy will not claim him; his constituency will scorn him; the lovers of the Constitution will class him among the base traitor to Union, to constitu tional guaranties, and to tho greet, best inter ests of the poor white masses of tho North.

Mr. Davis of Kentucky, offered,an amend- to his resolution, to the effect, that when a majority in the Senate,is politically opposed to the, administration u. majority of the con}- mitteo shall ,ho selected,ifroin the'majority part in the senate. Mr. Hale, (Rep) of New Hampshire, said the subject had came upon.hiiu unexpectedly, but ho had said on Saturday that he was utterly opposed to the creation of any more commit tees on fraud until the Senate took-some no-, tion upon cases already brought to its notice and fully investigated. He held in his hand along report-of a select committee of the Senate, appointed last year, from ■ which he would read the conclusion to which the com mittee ’came. The committee say thgt an examination of the subject satisfied them that thero/was as much frand upon the gov ernment by purchases made by the Chiefs of Bureaus ns in any other way. To illhstrato this fact he would call attention to one single instance, a contract for sperm oil. Mr. Hale here -read ait length from the report of the special committee on frauds in the Navy De partment. . Mr. Halo, (feontinued) The principal wit ness against these frauds was, as I said on Saturday arrested,by order of the Navy De partment. His More was taken possession of; his papers and'the private papers of his wife were- seized, and’ he was i sent to Sort Warren, and kept there, denied* Inter course with his family, with instructions not ‘“release him' under bail of less than $500;- 000. Ho whs jKpt there’until indignation began to be excited in Ijis case, and the at tention of the President was called to it..—- Then they consented to take off $480,000 of the bail, and to release him on $20,000. I was by the honorable Senator from Kentucky if Mr. Smith wnd arrested because he gave testimony against the" Navy Dopart ment.-It is impossible for mo to scan the motives of men ; it is enough for mo to deal jwith ray own motives, and standing hero un der all the responsibilities which attach to' me, jealous as any man of the little reputa tion that belongs to him; careful of my oyvn word as most men, I aver before my country and before jny God that I have not the shad-' ow of a doubt that the oaaso of this raim’u arrest and incarceration was that he gars' evidence on that investigation. In that con nection X, haven remarkable statement to make of the man who ordered this arrest and committed this outrage in Boston, compared with tno inquisition is tender mo toy. Being remonstrated with on some occasion of this sort against sending those cases of naval and 'military courts martial, why did hp not take tllß'ordinary Courts of Justice, ho made* this remarkable avowei, that civil courts are or- ganised do ntfquit, but we organize courts to convict. Mr. DrtVie—That’s true, too. Mr. Halo-p-df there woro some friond of the individual referred to here to day, what I say I think I could flash on every mind, con cerning its truth. I will toll you how. it is done,.fur while lan on this thing I want to expose it. You know that by the retiring law which wo‘passed, anil I voted against it because I knew it whs calculated to promote favoritism; by this ; law retired' officers who have no employment except at the will of the Secretary, argputupon those court-martials; , Mr. Hale read the names of tho officers constituting tho court that tried Mr. Smith, • ‘of Boston, and said they woro all retired of ficers. These officers all anxious lor pay for employment, and if they make themsetyos acceptable to the ‘Secretary of tho'Navy they pan got it ; if they they don’t they can’t.— This court being thus organized the Secre tary of the Navy appears us prosecutor, aud tho man is prosecuted. It being known that tho Secretary wants conviction, there is. nothing else for them to do but eon riot. Mr. Halo hero road tho-protest of Maska.- cliusctts' Loisluture in tho case of Smith, characterizing the proceedings us unwarrant able and illegal. • Halo of New Hampshire, eaid that iCany Chief Justice of the Supreme Court had or dered the incarceration of any man until ho oquld find five hundred dollars bail hh would be iinpoaohod., Ho (Hale) would go out of the 'Senate as ho came into it tho uncompro mising foe of robberyqnd oppression. Ho knew ho_ would Khvo tho hounds on' his track but ho did not care. They had teen there before. There wad arenson and that rqasdn had been assigned.' lam not ip accord with the department. ■He wished that to bo re corded; ile was proud of if. "Ho was glad' to have it said of him. Ho differed with the' Navy department in tho beginning of the’ wan Hie reason was this; In tho beginning of tho war, when tho country in a cod dition which all ’could ‘ remember, when ho saw tho Secretary of tho Navy employ his brother-in-law to purchase ships and paying him a greater componsation than was paid to tho President, Vico President and Cabinet all combined ; when be sow the Secretary of tiio Navy pul his hand into tho public trea sury, and dealing out its contents without stint to bis brother-in-law, ho (Halo) Was not in accord with him) , Ho had boon accused of severity in his remarks about tho Navy De partment, but ho had never been half severe enough on it. Every officer in tho Navy who had distinguished himself and illustrated the national fame on tho ddok of his vessel, had irameaiately failed under tho displeasure of . tho administration of tho Navy Department. Admiral Stringham aud Admiral Dupout , had been laid on the siiolf. If they bad boon ■felons preying upon the Treasury of the country, they could not have boon more abused. What was that, for? Why, wo have a remarkable genius at-tho hoad.of the Secretary of tho Navy, Department.' Ho (Hale) meant the actual’Sco’y, of the Navy. Ho used to bo a past midshipman, ho believed. He never got any higher in the navy. About tho time of tho siogo of Port Sumtor, his’ ge nips beamed upon tho world in oho of tho most ridiculous and ahsured ideas for the ro- lief of that fort that was ever hoard o f l It wga thought that a man who had brains to con ceive such absurd idea must bo a genius-; and ho was next found the practical first lord of the-Admiralty. Pretty soon it became necessary to build sumo twenty iron-elads.— The Naval Committee recommended that the building should bo under the authority of the presidont.of the United States instead of the Navy. The result was known. There wore several speeches made, and tihally it be came a law that it should bo under the con trol of the Navy Department. Twenty iron clads were ordered to bo built, and they wore two years in building. Last session he (Hale) introduced a resolution, calling.the attention of the Committee on the Conduct of the War to their history.

'' LETTER FROM THE ARMY, The following letter from the army, writ- ten by n jOumberland county soldier to his wife, has been sent us, with a request that wo give it a place in the Volunteer. We com ply with the request cheerfully : ' Third Division, Ist Brigade, 9th A. 0.1 ■ January 28th 1865. j Dear Wife i —l once more take (ala oppor tunity to communicate a feiv linos to you;- J am well, hoping 'when these few lines reaches you they w.ill find you enjoying the same great blessing. The health of the nrmy is generally good, with' the exception that Ty phoid fever is somewhat oonfmon arid very dangerous. .The new regiments are still ly, ing in reserve but they expect, to. relievo the pickets next Week ; then ! suppbso thoy will have to keep a sharp lookout, ns it is quite unwholesome on these lines ; but the firing has partly or almost ceased of late, and their pickets are still coming over faster than ever. X saw fin account in one of the Richmond pa pers-thnt there,is at present one hundred and fifty thousand of their men absent, without leave 1 This tells us at once that the people of the South are beginning toseo that they have been humbugged long enough, and that the scales are dropping off their deluded eyes ; aye, they have already repudiated'Jqff Davis and his'aots, and d should not bo surprised if some of the seceded States would, before April, haul down that Palraetto’rag and' heist the Star Spangled banner in it's place. Whether they.hoist the’ stars and stripes or not I will leave for the,render.to conjecture, but there is one thing certain, if they don’ t-hoist them Uncle Sam’s boys.will; but we trust they may see the folly and mad ness to which they have hoed subjected, and throw down thdlr atens and come into the Union and save further bloodshed and de vastation of property. But the popular opin ion is that the war is about over, that rebell ion-is.crumbling to nothing, while the Union Array is still gathering strength, and wo all think the war is about to close, arid wo poor soldiers return to our "wives and children to. enjoy the warm ewoeffjoys of home. Oh, me thinks X can hear the sbouts-of joy echo and 1 re-echo hack again that, will go forth when pence and happiness once more returns and smiles upon this distracted Nation. iAye, me X can hoar the sighs and the groans of those devils who wiU weep when this war closes to , tlfinlc that they ei\n no -longer replenish their purses by robbing the,gov ernment of the-wngos they get and render ing to it no service; ond also by stealing the rations from the,poor privates. -We find plenty of those men in the medical depart-. mont. But I tliink wo have onogh of mon who’are true tb"tbo oath they have taken to plant the stars and stripes in every State from South Carolina, to’Toxaa and haul dawn the Palmetto rag and hurry it so deep that all the secessionists of the South oan never affect a resurrection. I may not live to fide all this come to pass, but in'Base I go under in the struggle, my "prayer is that the liber •tles which I- have enjoyed all tny days "may bo extended to my posterity and to sucoeed ing generations, and may they love and cher ish those rights and bo over ready to defend them against any insulting enemy that mpy intrude upon these liberties, and may they consider these liberties as the rich boon of freedom for which their fathers bled an died. ■ W.

Spociiil ‘Dispatch to lliu N. Y. Daily Nows, Jan. ,'!0. -,Gou. Singleton arrived in this city this evening, and immediately waited on (jhe President., During his stayat.Richmond he had frequent-interviews.with Mr. Davis and other prominent Confederate lenders, inclu ding Gen. Leo. Gen, Singleton represents those with whom ho. had intercourse as well disposed toward any movement calculated to restore peace, tat an honorable basis. The Southern people remain firm in their determination to resist subjugation. The leaders aro not averse to negotiation, provi ded it is not based on degrading conditions. They will meet us on equal terms, but not otherwise. They will not lay down r their arms and except whatever vjre choose to give them. There is no despondency in Rich mond, but all, from Mr. Davis to the least important citizen, aro desirous to have the warobrought to a close. , The leaders aro confident of their ability to continue the war so long as the North prosecutes it in the spirit of abolition.or sub jugation. They are willing to negotiate at any time ; but only in the manner customary among nations. From Sentinel, January 3b. DEPUTATION TO WASHINGTON. Messrs. A. 11. Stephens, R. M. TV IXuntor and John A. Campbell loft Richmond yester day morning, on their way to Washington, to confer with President Lincoln on the sub ject of putting an end to the war if possible. The oil-oumstances under Which those gen tlemen, have departed on their mission are understood to, be as follows { Mr. F. P. Blair having sought an unoffi cial interview with President Davis, depart ed for Washington, pith an assurance that our President would bo willing at any time without any obstacle of form, to send Agents or-Commissioners to Washington to confer about peauo, if informed in advance that said Commissioners would bo received. On Mr. Blair’s second visit to Richmond he brought the consent of Mr; Lincoln to re ceive and confer with any agonts informal ly sent with a view to the restoration of .peace. The three gentlemen who left yes terday wore thereupon selected by the Presi-. dent, and they have gone without formal credentials and merely ns informal agonts to seo whether it bo possible to jflaoe a Confer ence for peace on any basis which may servo for attaining so desirable a result. It.is possible that success mayattond their efforts, but wisdom and prudence demand that wo indulge in no confident expectations on the subject, and that wo relax not one moment in energetic preparation for the en suing campaign. From the choice made by the President, we may rest assured that no moans will be left untried to effect pence if it bo possible $p obtain it, , - But if tbo’fhroo eminent citizonVaelootod for the purpose shall , fail In their attempt, one good result will certainly have boon reached, All discordant counsels on this subject will-have become reconciled, and it will no longer lie in the power of the factious or timid tp' persuade the people that peace can bo reached by any path other- than that offered for us by stout hearts and stout bauds. - .
