Sixteen stone-filled hulks placed eheckerwise across the passage, in the deepest water, just at the inner and outer edges of the bar, are the mediums through which this righteous retri bution has been measured out. Thus another strong blow has fallen upon the headstrong people of South Carolina, the effect of which must be more humili ating than any they have yet received. They have no means of resenting it, and their haughty rebel lious spirits must fret and chafe beneath the weight of the heavy hand which has been laid upon them. The vessels which have been sunk left Port Royal lest Tuesday, under the direction of Fleet Captain Charles H. Davis, of the Wabash. They were nearly all condemned whalers—some of them sixty and seventy years of age—the queerest, quaintest speci mens of ship-building afloat. Lazily one by one, under the influence of a strong ebb-tide, these anti quated crafts dropped out toward the bar, each anchoring where she happend to be when the flood tide sot in. The steam transports Cahawba, Phila delphia and Ericsson wore detailed to accompany the expedition, and the steam frigate Mohican, and gunboats Pocahontas and Ottawa were appointed to convoy it. Fronk Kentucky and Missouri The news from Kentucky is not of special impor tance. The Rebels have torn up the rail-road track south of Green River, whereby the advance of Gen. Buell upon Bowling Green is rendered, at this season of the year. almost impracticable. In the Kentucky House of Delegates eight members have been expelled on the charge of aiding in the rebel lion, and in the State Senate a committee has re commended the expulsion of J. K. Johnson for the same cause. The destruction by the Rebels of the North Mis souri railway, for a distance of one hundred miles, is confirmed. The principal bridges along the line have also been burned—the culverts burned or torn down, and the rolling stock destroyed. General Price is said to have nine thousand men north of the Missouri river, and reinforcements are hastening to join him. The federal troops at Lex ington have burned the ferry boats and the cannon foundry at that place. Punishment of Bridge-Burners. Sr. Louis, Deo. 23. Gen lialleck has issued an order, in which he says that any one caught in the act of burning bridges, destroying railroads or telegraphs, will bo immedi ately shot; and any one accused of this crime will be examined by a military commission, and if found guilty suffer death. Where injuries are done to rail roads and telegraph lines, the commanding officer nearest the post will immediately impress into service for repairing damages the slaves of all secessionists in the vicinity, and if necessary the secessionists themselves and their property ; and any pretending Union man having information of the intended at tempt to destroy such roads and lines, or of the guilty parties, who does not communicate such intention to the proper authorities and give aid and assistance in arresting and punishing them, will be regarded as particeps cri2atnis, and treatedmocordingly. Here after the towns and counties in which such destruc tion takes place will be made to pay the expenses of all repairs, unless it be shown that the people of such towns and counties could not have prevented it on account of the superior force of the enemy. A Forward iUovement The Washington correspondent of the New York World telegraphs to that paper as follows: It is very generally felt here that the most affec tive way of insuring a settlement of our English diffi culty will be the crushing out of the Confederate force at Centreville. Let that be destroyed, and the Union troops obtain possession of Memphis and Nashville within the coming month, the war would be virtually ended, and the country would be in a position to sub mit to no insolence from England or any other power. The force of this reasoning is felt by our Government, and the indications are thickening to prove that im portant movements of our forces are not far off.— The assurances of Mr. Chase to the bankers in your oily will be carried out to the letter. Unless all signs fail, the armies of the Confederates will be at tacked before the middle of January. It will not be an attack upon one quarter, but upon every assaila ble point. People in the confidence of the authori ties here distinctly assert that Richmond will be in possession of our troops before the first of February. The placing of General Rosecrans in command at Romney; the concentration of troops there ; the movements of General Banks ; the expected sailing of General Burnside's expedition within two weeks, and the significant preparations in the army in front of Washington, together with the news we hear from Et. Louis, Cairo, and Green river, all point to a simultaneous attack upon the Confederates within a very short time. The Cotton Trade with Mexico The editorial correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune writes as follows of a late visit to Braun fels, Texas : I was astonished to see the life and bustle in New Braunfels; cotton coming in and cotton going out; cotton here, cotton there, everywhere. The enter. prising house of F. Moreau is purchasing largely for the Mexican market, making all payments in Mexi can dollars, and there is no lack of hard currency in Comal county. Cotton is hauled in American wagons and Mexican carts, the roads are lively with the sharp cracks of drivers' whips as they jog along to wards the Rio Grande. A Frenchman in Mexico is also engaged in the transportation on huge wagons, drawn by twelve mules, and I was told he loaded no less than twenty-four bales on one of his immense vehicles, and that he attracted as much attention on the road as a traveling circus or menagerie He has been heretofore hauling cotton from Matamoros to the interior of Mexico, but is now going regularly into the business from this section. If the war is to go on, and the blockade continues, king cotton must hold court for a while at New Braunfels, and Mr. Moreau will prove a prompt and active first lord of the treasury. He will disburse hundreds of thous ands of dollars this year all in Mexican castings." Or- Hon. JosErn lima writes to the Cin cinnati Gazette, denying the statement of its correspondent that Gen. Schoepff was formerly a hotel porter, He is a Hungarian, and a graduate of a militaroschool of Vienna. On coming to this country he was employed in the office of the United States Coast Survey, and it was there that Mr. Holt found him, and die covered hie military qualifications. A SHARP CONTRACTOR.—The Congressional Investigating Committee have recently had 'their attention called to the case of a Penn— sylvanian who contracted to furnish the trans Potomac camps with firewood at $4 a cord. It said he procures the whole supply from frees already felled by Government, which ho 'pays fifty cents a cord for cutting. It is then transported to the camps by Government wagons. The inventor of this little plan thus clears, if our information be correct, $3.50 a oord. The individual who thus " feathers his nest" - is Col. JOHN F. CARTER, well known to !!NewspaPerdom" in Pennsylvania. He published a paper in this city some years agb.. ; --Lancaster Union. TMETT-SEvErvig CONGRESS--FIRST SESSION. MONDAY,December 23. Congreas resumed its sessions a-day. Garrett Davis, the new senator from Kentucky, in place of John C. Break'fledge, took his seat in the Senate for the first-time. The bill appropriating $1,500,000 for gunboats on the western rivers, was passed. On e motion of Mr. Simmons a resolution was passed 0p .4., pointing a select committee to consider the expWi ;;' may of connecting some of the military and naval , stations on the coast by submarine telegraph Mr. .% I Wilson introduced a bill providing for the dishonor , able discharge of any military or naval effacers who seize, hold, detain or deliver up any fugitives from labor or service. The bill to increase the number of cadets at West Point from 170 to 350 was taken up, and after some discussion laid over until Tuesday Messrs. Sherman and Chandler opposed, and Mr. Fessenden advocated its passage. The resolution from the House, to adjourn until January 2, failed of receiving consideration for want of a quorum. In the House Mr. Vallandigham introduced a bill to enforce the writ of habeas corpus, which was re ferred to the Committee on the Judiciary. The reso lution introduced by Mr. Wilson on Friday, forbid ding the return of fugitive slaves by the army, was adopted. On motion of Mr. Vandevere the Committee on Territories was directed to inquire into the ex pediency of establishing territorial governments within the limits of the disloyal States or districts, and to report by bill or otherwise. On motion of Mr. Sheffield the Committee on Military Affairs was instructed to inquire into the necessity of fortifying the east and west entrances -of Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, and to report by bill or otherwise. Mr. Merrill, from the Committee on Ways and Means, reported a bill to increase the duties on tea, coffee and sugar, which was passed by a vote of 77 to 29. The bill proposes to make the duty on tea of all kinds twenty cents a pound; on coffee, five cents a pound, and on sugar, two and a half, three, five and eight cents a pound, according to the quality. The bill also proposes to fix the duty on molasses at six cents a gallon. Numerous resolutions of inquiry were adopted, calling on the Secretary of War to furnish the House with information concerning the quantity of arms purchased since the 12th of April last, the prioes paid for the same, and the correspon dence between the Secretary of War and the chief of the bureau of ordnance, relative to the arms purchased by General John C. Fremont. A concur rent resolution to adjourn until the 11. of January, was then adopted. Mr. Bingham, from the Judiciary Committee, reported a bill providing for two circuits, instead of one, in the northwestern States, and con solidates the fifth and ninth, consisting of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas, into one. It does not change the number of Judges of the Supreme Court, but leaves it as it now is. The con sideration of the bill was postponed until Monday, the sth of January. _ 6 13 20 27 TUESDAY, December 24. The Senate did not accomplish much to-day, many of the members having left the city. Mr. Grimes offered a resolution instructing the Committee on Naval Affairs to inquire into the manner in which war vessels had been fitted out, which was adopted. On motion of Mr. hale, the Secretary of the Navy was requested to transmit to the Senate a list of the volunteers, lieutenants, masters, paymasters, in the navy. After an executive session an adjourn ment was effected until Thursday. There was no meeting of the House, it having ad. joarned on Monday until Thursday. M 3 10 17 24 THURSDAY, December 26. The Senate met to-day, and, on motion of Mr. Hale, agreed that when an adjournment took place it should be until Monday next. Mr. Grimes pre- Belated another petition from citizens of lowa pray ing for the introduction of the homecpathio system of medical practice in the army. Mr. Hale offered a resolution requesting the President to transmit copies of all dispatches which have passed between this government and Great Britain, regarding the seizure of Mason and Slidell, provided the same be not incompatible with public interest—the communi cation to be made either in open or executive session as might be deemed best. Mr. Sumner objected to the resolution. Mr. Hale argued its propriety upon the ground that he understood the cabinet were dis cussing the matter of surrendering Mason and Sli dell, a measure which he considered fraught with more evil to the country than anything that had yet marked its history. Mr. Sumner replied briefly, stating that he believed the whole matter was in safe hands, and that the Senate had better reserve their comments until such a time as the facts could be presented to them. Mr. Hale's resolution was laid over. Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, gave notice that he should introduce a bill confiscating every species of property of all persons who have had any connection with the southern rebellion, either in a civil, mili tary, or naval capacity Bills were introduced by Mr. Harlan for establishing provisional governments in the seceded States, and by Mr. Howe for amend ing the fugitive slave act, both of which were refer red. The Senate then adjourned until Monday. No business of importance was transacted in the House, there being not a quoram present, and an ad journment was effected until Monday. 1 GOV. TOD AND THE NEWSPAPERS The people of Ohio elected DAVID TOD Gov ernor of the State, last October, in entire good faith, and with the confident hope that he would prove worthy of the great trust. They awake now with the very unpleasant suspi cion, in advance of his assumption of the gu bernatorial robes, that they have " caught a Tartar." Gov. Ton's persistent liunting down of the Cleveland Herald, which kir„still pursues as s a hound would a rabbit„ is the first act in the drama he marks out for himself ; . as Chief Executive of the !•• tate. As President of the Mahoning Railroad, he forbids that it be car ried even as express matter ; and inasmuch as the corporation once refused to carry the U. S. mails, it may be they will refuse them again unless the Herald is excluded. Gov. Ton writes that the Herald was " dangerous," and that the "public good" requires him to attempt to suppress it. Who made him censor?— Certainly not the people. They would not even have made him Governor bad they sus pected such things a week before the election. The press of the entire State—except the local rivals of the Herald, who reap a temporary benefit by its short sales—denounces this act of Gov. Ton, and well they may. When he is Governor, the Lord only knows what newspa per press in the State will be safe.— Chicago Tribune. Wa are glad that the infamous policy of the arbitrary suppression of newspapers has at last been applied in a case to touch the Republi• cans "on the raw." It was all right, just, pa triotic arid glorious as long as it was applied only to Democratic papers ; but when one of their own treasonable organs is made to feel the grasp of arbitrary power, they are very in dignant and denounce the act and its author with deserved severity. The Cleveland Herald's offence was the persistent defence of FasatoNr and severe denunciation of his remov al from command. This was no crime, and not half so " dangerous" to the public interest as Mr. Ton's despotic and lawless conduct.— Yet we see no reason why Ton should be de— nounced for doing in one case, just what SEWARD has been doing in a hundred cases, and been praised therefor. The question of the Tribune in regard to TOD-" who made him censor ?" may as pertinently be asked with reference to SEWARD. Both have com— mitted offences meriting confinement in a pen itentiary. But Ton deserves the greater punishment because he professes to be a Democrat, and has gone to the extreme of Re publican despotism from motives of interest— just as a few " pro-slavery" Democrats have become ultra abolitionists from motives which usually govern mere mercenaries and soldiers of fortune.—N. H. Patriot. An article in a recent issue of the North American contains the following paragraph : " We speak plainly because it is necessary to do so. At the very time when the people have looked for retrenchment, and the Secre— taries of the Treasury, the War and the Navy departments have earnestly advised it as re quisite to enable the Government to meet its expenses, the Van Wyck Committee has laid bare the fact that untold sums have been squandered on wretched contracts, illegal and monstrous commissions, and by a thousand other varieties of that genteel robbery which goes by such names as peculation. It seems to us that there is at this crisis another more expressive and far more appropriate designa tion for these offences, and that is treason.— The rebel who fairly stands up in the ranks of a hostile army we know how to contend against; but the secret enemy in our own ranks who goes with us merely to bag the public money and steal away to. some more congenial clime with it, who clothes our soldiers in rage and gives them rotten blan• kets to shield them from the rude wintry blasts, is he lees guilty than the open and avowed rebel of that crime which the Constitution defines as ' giving aid and comfort to the enemy ?' " 05)>Tne following,paragraph is just as true as preaching: DEBT TO NEwsPAPERs.--Newspaper sub— scriptions are infallible tests of men's honesty. They will sooner or later discover the man.— If he is dishonest he will cheat the printer some way—says he.paid what he has not— declare he has the receipt somewhere--or sent money and it was lost in the mail—or will take the paper and not pay for it on the ground that he did not subscribe for it—or will move off, leaving it come to the office he left. Thousands of professed Christians are dishonest, and the printer's book will tell fearful in the judgment. THE FIRST MILITARY EXECUTION.—In ac cordance with the sentence of a Court Martial, William H. Johnson, of the Lincoln Cavalry, was executed near Washington on the 13th.— His offence was desertion. The execution took place in the presence of 7,000 men of Gen. Franklin's Division. A detachment of twelve soldiers was detailed for the painful duty.— Eight of them first fired, when Johnson fell into his coffin, but life not being extinct, the other four in reserve fired with the required effect. This is the first execution in the army of the Potomac since the commencement of the rebellion. SPEAKING PLAINLY TROTTING EXTRAORDINARY. :,~: A fine young horse—one of an excellent span of matched bays, either of which is fully capable of doing the work, and which took a premium at the recent Horse Fair at this place—belonging to Jacob D. Konkle, Esq., of the -Cochran House, in Newton, made the above extraordinary time on the McElhoney track, on Tuesday of last week, and came out after his labors in extremely fine condition.— The match against time was made in Newark some time since in consequence of a bet offered by a Mr. Snyder, of that city, a brother of Mr. Halsey Snyder, who is well known in this county, challenging Mr. Konkle to make the ninety six miles in twelve hours on a bet of one hundred dollars. A regular contract was drawn up, and Mr. Konkle began fitting his horse for the work. Oa the evening previous Mr. Snyder, who bad come to Newton, backed square out of his bet, and declared that he would have nothing to do with it, as he had bet the horse could not do it in single harness, while Mr. Konkle had determined to do it with a mate by his side. As there was nothing said as to how the horse was to travel, this backing out was held to be only a miserable subterfuge to save his money, which he undoubtedly did do, -but by it he lost considerable reputation as a sporting man ; no forfeit was put up, and Mr. S. had the benefit of doing a "small thing on Sny— der." Mr. Konkle, who had bet a small amount on the result with outside parties, besides having some friends who had staked on his horse, went in and won the race, making the ninety-six miles in eleven hours and two minutes, establishing the reputation of his horse, which is only five years old, as one of the most enduring and game animals in the country. There are many in the village who are ready to back him to make one hundred miles in ten hours. We presume, however, nothing of the kind will be attempted this sauna. The hour of starting was five o'clock, A. M., and the work was through by four o'clock, P. M. For the first thirty miles the mate drew the entire load. For the next forty miles, the pull was even for both horses. A fresh horse was then deemed advisable, and was accordingly brought in, and for the remainder of the distance the mate took the task of pulling the load. The difficulty of a frozen and rough track was encountered at first, and after half the distance the track was quite as bard on the horse from mud, causing him to slip occasionally. It is to be hoped that Mr. Snyder will not be allowed to bet on the next race, if any comes off in future. P. S --A correct measurement of the track shows that the horse actually travelled ninety seven and one third miles, in eleven hours and two minutes.—Sussex (N. J.) Herald. $25 I] 4fir Employment 1-Vg [s7s : AGENTS WANTED' We will pay from $25 to $75 per month, and all expenses, to active Agents, or give a commission. Particulars sent free.

Loss of appetite and weakness impair the health, and want of activity makes the mind discontented and unhappy. In cases where old age adds its influence, it Is almost impossi ble to add ri gor and health, and although many remedies have been tried, all have failed, until Bcerhave's Holland Bitters Were known and used. In every case where they have been employed, they have invariably given strength and restored the appetite. They have become a great agent fur this :done, and are used by many people who are suffer ing from lose of appetite and general debility.

Duly 9 6m 29 ONEY WANTED.—In pursuance of an Ordinance of Select and Common Councils of the City of Lancaster, passed the 6th day of August, 1861, the undersigned is authorized to borrow a sum of money suffi cient to liquidate City loans now due and demanded. This is, therefore; to give notice that proposals for loans to an amount not exceeding ten thousand dollars, will be received at the Mayor's office, for which Coupons or certificates of loan will be Issued bearing 6 per cent. interest, and re deemable in ten years from date. GEO. SANDERSON, Medroa's OFYICE, Lancaster, Aug. 13. Mayor. aug 13 at 31 NOTICE. --The Relief Fund being now exhausted by the allowances already granted, the C0M1L1155i0111063 have assumed the responsibility of continu ing for some time to make the allowances to those who are dependent on the volunteers in service, trusting that the public will approve, as the Grand Jury at the August Ses sions recommended, this course; but as the Paymaster's Department of the United States is now completely orga nized, and the volunteers are generously remitting to their families a portion of their pay, the Board of Relief will meet hereafter every two weeks instead of every week, and make the allowances accordingly to those who may be entitled to receive them—that is, the same allowance for the two as has heretofore been made for each week, and this until an additional ten thousand dollars shall be ex hausted.

Thew amp, toms are often the preludn -serious- 'Neese. - ..• • sickness increeping upon you, and should be averted by _a timely use of the right rem-, edy. Take Ayees Pills, and cleanse out the disordered hu mors— purify the blood, and let the Holds move on unob structed in health again. They stimulate the functions of the body into vigorous ac- tivity, purify the system from the obstructions which make disease. A cold settles somewhere in the body, and ob structs its natural functions. These, if not relieved, react upon themselves and the surrounding organs, pro ducing general aggravation, suffering, and disease. While in this condition, oppressed by the derangements, take Ayer's Pills, and see hoer directly they restore. the natural action of the system, and with it the buoyant feeling of health again. lz,What is true and so apparent is this trivial and common complaint, is also true in many of the deep-seated and dangerous distempers.
