WAR _-7S_
Charleston Hirbor Destroyed
The special correspondent of the New York
Tribune, on board the steamer Cahawba, off Charles
ton, writes under date of Deo. 21, as follows:
The main channel of approach to Charleston har
bor has been destroyed. 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. _

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.

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.

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.

creeping on, it brings with it many attendant infirmities.
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

to long standing chronic diseases, they act as a charm, in
vigorating the system, thus giving nature another oppor

formed by that justly popular remedy the Acaciau
Balsam, prepared by Dr. 0. Phelps Brown. In Con
sumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, Nervous Complaints,
Coughs, Colds, Liver Complaint, Palpitation of the
Heart, etc., its Imo is attended by the most surprising
beneflaal results, alike gratifying to patients and their
friends. The invigorating properties possessed by the
Acacian Balsam, are peculiar to this remedy alone. In the
cases of invalids suffering from that form of complaint
known under the head of General Debility and character
ized by great languor, utter prostration of the nervous
system, and torpidity and inaction of the vital organs, its
effects are to relieve the sufferer of all morbid feelings and
inspire him with life and renewed energy, It purifies the
blood, restores wasted flesh, and in a short time so reno
vates the entire being that disease can no longer find a
foothold in the system. A full description of this remark

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. A. L. HAYES,

ANDREW JACKSON'S REMEDY
Changing the subject, Dr. Edgar asked him what he
would havo done with Calhoun and other nullifiers if they
had kept on.
'flung them, air, as high as 'Haman," was the instan
taneous reply. "They should have been a terror to trai
tors to all time, and posterity would have pronounced it
the best act of my life."
As he said these words, he half rose in his bed, and all
the old lire glowed in his old eyes again.

CATHARTIC
PILLS.
Are you elek, feeble, and
complaining? Are you out of
order, with your , system de
ranged, and your &dings un
comfortable? 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. The same
purgative effect expels them. Cabsed by similar obstruc
tions and derangements of the natural functions of the
body, they are rapidly, and many of them surely, cured
by the same means. None who know the virtues of these
Pills, will neglect to employ them when suffering from
the disorders they cure.

principal cities, .and from other well known public per-

Dn. AYER: Your Pills are the paragon of all that is

Incurable for years. Her mother has been long griev

In her hair. After our child was cured, she also tried
your Pills, and they have cured her.

From Dr. Theodore Bell. of Kern York G ly.
Not only are your Pills admirably adopted to their pur
pose as an aperient, but I find their beneficial effects upon
the Liver very marked indeed. They have in my prac

plaints than any one remedy I can mention. I sincerely

Snot I have used your Pills in my general and hospital
practice ever since you made them, and cannot hesitate to
say they are the best cathartic see employ. Their regu
lating action on the liver is quick and decided, conse
quently they are nn admirable remedy for derangements
of that organ. Indeed, I have seldom found a case or
bilious disease so obstinate that it did not readily yield to
them. Fraternally yours, ALONZO BALL, M. D.,

Front Dr. J. G. Green, of Chicago.
Your Pi have had a long trial in my practice, and I
hold them in esteem as one of the Lest aperients I have
over found. Their alterative effect upon the liver makes
them au excellent remedy, when given in small dosee fur
batons dysentery and diarrhea. Their sugar-coating
makes them very acceptable and convenient for the use
of women and children.
