WX. M. BRESLIN, Editor and Proprietor
LEBANON, PA.
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBEEtc , 9, 1563
Otr' It is rumored that there will be
a blow up in the Cabinet before long,
and that Messrs. Stanton, Welles and
Blair will retire.
Qom - President Lincoln has l the
small -pox. Every body that reads
the message coming from his hands,
this week, is expected to take it. If
Congress don't organize it may be
owning to the fear of the members
receiving communications from the
President, which may as readily be
the small,pox as a message. What a
terrible thing it would be for Con.
grass and the Cabinet, if all were to
take the small pox. As it stands the
"government" of the United States
has the small pox. There is one
thing certain, the rebels won't take
the "government" while it has the
small pox, and so we may as well
put the army in winter quarters.—
The small pox is a good protection to
Washington and the "government."
Congress.
The 38th Congress met on Monday.
The political complexion of the Rouse
as accurately as we can make it oL.t,
is as fellows :
Admin iotration jets
Democrats
Border State men
Of the 16 Border &ate men, the
New York Tribune .claims at least 7
.as Administrationists, and they will
doubtless be found on that side, ow
ing, as they do, their election to Ad
ministration influence.
The Republican members bad a
caucus on Saturday night and nomi
nated Hon. Schuyler Colfox, of Indi
a.nna, as their candidate for speaker.
The Democratic members also had
h consultation but no nominations
wore made.
L is feared that there will be some
trouble in the organization owing to
the informality of the certificates of
thu members from Massachusetts,
East Virginia, California, Oregon,
Maryland, Vermont, New Hampshire
and Connecticut. In accordance to
an act passed at the last Congress all
those will have to be ruled out,.tin.
less they are corrected in time, which
is hardly possible in the case of some
of them .
P. S.—Mr. Colfox was elected
Speaker on Monday by a vote of 101
to 81 scattering. Colfox is a rank
abolitionist. The message will be
delivered today, Tuesday.
O It is reported by Gen.flildreth
that there are now 50,000 negro sol
diers in the service. Sombody no
doubt steals the pay for that many,
but their are certainly not one fourth
that number in the service. Uncle
Samuel is a badly fleeced gentle.
man.
THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
The Army of the Potomac has a
gain fallen hack to the Northern
shore of the Rapidan, andis now in
its old quarters at Brandy Station,
near Culpeper. And thus has ended
the eighth -aggressive -campaign of
the largest and best appointed Army
on the side of the Union.'
This failure, for even the Adminis
tration presses so call it, has revived
the rumor that General Meade will be
removed from the command •of the
Army of the Potomac. A Washing.
ton dispatch, says that "Gen. Sher
man will probably be recalled from
. Tennessee to succeed himi in the coin
-10 mand, though not with a view to an

great work of potting down the re

the polls, shows what a remarkable
sympathy and connexion exists be

field." It strikes us that the above
had better been left unsaid, partien.
larly at a time when the con
scripts of all parties, are invited
to step over to Pottsville and settle,
or, shoulder a musket. The abolition
ists are constantly speaking of dem•
octets in the same breath they do of
the rebels, and at the same time they
want them to fight for a cause in
which they have persuaded them
selves and the world,that. we have no
sympathy. If they want the rebel
lion crushed and the assistance of the
democrats to do it, why are•they con.
stantly stigmatizing the latter; and
creating ill feeling and a division of
sentiment in the North ? If it had
not been for the persistent efforts at
dis•unionisra.made by the Abolition
iste in the north, the indisposition to
volunteer would not now be so all
prevalent. They
are
disunion in-the
south and they are not wanting in ef
forts to produce the same in the
North—in fact, according to their
own showing, nearly one half
of the people of the northern states
are traitors. They here paralized
the people and the army, and al
_though they boast of the "wonderful
progress made • in the great work of

REBEL ATTACK DEFEATED.
A special dispatch to the Journal
of this city says that General Wilcox
has telegraphed from . General Burn.
side's headquarters at Knoxville, on
the 30th ult., that at 11 o'clock on
the evening of tae 28th the rebels at
tempted to surround his force,
and succeeded in driving our skir•
mishing line to the right wing, which
was posted on the Kingston road,
and forced back to Fort Saunders.
We after Wards regained our posi•
tion and had a sharp skirmishing
with the enemy all night.
On Monday morning at seven'o'
clock the rebels moved a
. foree of
three brigades against Fort Saun
ders, a portion of which, notwith
standing our heavy fire, gained the
ditch but could not ascend the para
pet.
We took three hundred prisoners
and three stand of colors. - The rebel
loss in killed, wounded and missing
was over three hundred, while our
loss was about twenty.
Longstreet then accepted General
Burnside's offer for a cessation of hog.
tilities to enable the rebels to attend
to their wounded.
The wounded soldiers were ex
changed for loyal soldiers wounded
in previous engagements, and the
rebel dead sent through our lines.
Col. Russ, commanding the assault
ing party. Col. McElroy and Lieut.
Col. Thomas, of the enemy, were kill
ed.
An assault was simultaneously
made on the right of our line, but
the rebels were driven back. Our
loss on that side was about 40, while
the.en•emy's loss was much greater.

LATER
From Chattanooga semi-official accounts
of General Hooker's repulse at Ringgold
represent his loss at five hundred. The
Federal army is now intrenching on the
eastern slope of Mission Ridge, their
pickets being posted two miles in advance
along the western bank of the Chicka
mauga. The Federal retreat from Ring.
gold, seven miles to the Chickamauga,
was quite precipitate, and closely followed
up by the enemy, who now picket the
eastern bank of the stream. General
Bragg's headquarters are at Ring,gold,
and his army is massed in that neighbor
hood. Everything is quiet at Chattanoo-
From Knoxville we receive nothing
definite. General Longstreet. does not
appear yet to have raised the siege; for if
he had, we certainly should have Intelli
gence of it from General Burnside.
There is no communication'betWeen Cum
berland Gap and 'Knoxville yet; :Genera-
Forster is idle on the Clinch river, twen
ty milesfrom the Op, where he has but
a handful of cavalry. He'rnakes no at
tempt to advance any farther. A Feder
al force of three thousand is said to have
left Chattanooga to aid Burnside, though
the route taken is not very evident. The
Confederates are represented to be in
strong force 'at Loudon, twenty , three
miles west of Knoxville, and at Kingston.
ten miles northwest of Loudon. Cannon
ading has been heard in that direction; so
that it would seem the expedition had
marched over the Cumberland Mountains,
and was in conflict with the enemy; No
progress appears to have been made by
the expedition beyond Loudon, the. Con
federates having there a strong line of
defence, formed by the Tennessee river.
We can find no (reliable intelligence of
Longstreet's retreat. The numerous ru
mors to that effect are evidently manu
factured at Cincinnati.
General Meade's army is at Brandy
Station, with an outpost of cavalry at
Culpeper. On Friday afternoon' alight
division of the enemy crossed the Rapi•
dan at a point above Racoon Ford:
General Meade will not be able to drive
them across, his line not being advanced
sufficiently to do it, and the Confederate
left being already posted on the north
bank of the Rapidan. This. crossing 'of
the enemy indicates nothing beyond an
adjustment of their pbsition, however.
There is no certainty yet as. to Meade's
successor, though it appears to be decid
ed that he shall be removed.
SCENE IN THE NATIONAL CAPITAL,
The Washington correspondent of
the New York Journal .of commerce
writes to that paper as follows :
"The present war "is waged — for

DECLINE OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE,
Parallelism in Ancient and Mod

Julius Cmsar told the Roman Senate,
when they objected to the plunder
of the Treasury as being unlawful,
that "Arms and Laws did not flour

necessity.]
History says, "The liberty of the
people had become extinct. The
spirit of Reptiblicanism had departed,
and a military despotism had usurp
ed its place. llere and there a spark
of patriotism might be kindled in the
breast of some individual ) butit was
soon smothered." (As by Wooly

which produced a scent that drew all the
