"The piinting presses shall be free to every person who undertakes to examine the pro-. ceedings of the legislattire; or any branch of government; and no law shall ever be made to restrain the right thereof. The free commu nication of thought and opinions is one of the Invaluable rights of 'men; and every citizen may freely speak, write and print on any sub feet; being responsible for the abuse of that liberty. In prosecutions for the publication of papers investigatingl, the official conduct of offi cers, or men in public capacities, or where the matter published is proper for public .informa tion, the truth thereof may be given in evi dence."—Comtillition of Pennrylrania. Congress and the President Called Out. We trust that Congress, before it adjourns, ‘vill pass a law calling out the whole body of the people to put down the rebellion, and that the first organization under such an "enactment will be made in the Senate and lims° of Representatives, with Old Abe Old his Cabinet for line officers. Such an example would lire the heart-of the nation, 'and convince the masses who have hereto ihre borne the brunt of the fight, that there :is hencetbrth to be no shirking from the dangers of the bait le-tield.—Har. Tel. We do not often find anything in. the Te.legraph that we feel like endorsing, and we do not now intend to endorse all of the above. " Calling out the whole body of the people" is a big thing, and ought not to be done without due cotrsideration of the possible conse quences. It would not be easy to arm them and it In igh t be impossible to feed them. Three mib ion men without arms, would not be it , very formidable army after all; and three million men ioith arras but without food, would be the worst army that ever assembled on the face of the earth, and the most dan gerous to those who called it into ex istence. Rut we do most cordially endorse so iriuch of the Telegrqpii's article as pro poses that, in the event of a general call to arms, "the Ilk-st organization shall be male in the Sedate and Ilouseof Repre tatives, with Old Abe and his Cabi net for line oilicors." I,Ve agree with it that "such an example would fire the hi , art 4 the nation," if it i, not already 1-sirnt to a state of crispiness rivalling file wool of the negro or whom all this fielding has been d-uo'. Whonever the abolitionists in Congress who are bawl ing li,1" c,nseripts shall conscript themselves and carry the harness of war on their own backs to the liehl of battle, they will dispel all ,Inuits that may now be entertained as to the hon esty of their motives. And whenever Old Abe shall east behind him the luxurious comforts of the do I louse, and take the chance of having- a rebel sharpshooter Illake a hole or 111, one in his earthly tabernacle, we shall give him erolit fur more patriotism and bet ter pluck Doniicnds in general suppose hint to la- po,se,setl or.

A - meeting was - held , Concert Hall, in that city, on Friday evening, at which addresses were de livered by white men and black men, and a series of resolutions passed con demnatory of the "fastidious taste" which excludes negroes from street cars occupied by white people. The resolu tions are as follows : Resolved, That, in the words of our ven erable and respeeted townsm ail whose name leads the call for this meeting, we are " op posed to the exclusion of respectable per sons from our passenger railroad ears on the ground of complexion." Resolved, That we have heard with shame and sorrow the statement that decent wo men of color have been forced to walk ion , * distances or accept a standing position on the front platform of these cars, exposed to the inclemency of the weather, while visit ing at our military hospitals their relatives who have been wounded In the defence of he country.

On last Friday evening the Nevir York Herct/fkaay-the large room of the Cooper _lnstitilte Walk wet filled liy:!ari audience composed ofwhite an dcolored ladies and lentlemetri to listen to an address by Fredeilck :;Douglass;'the well-known 'negm'oratoi. The.charge of adriiission was fifty cents, the proceeds to be devot ed to the aid of the Colored Orphan Asylum. " The lecturer, on being introduced, was received with loud applause, and proceeded to eulogize the race to which he ; and iti the course of his remarks said some sarcastic and witty things. He alluded to the recent action of the people of Maryland and Missouri in making those States free, and said he was there to ask of the American peo ple, as an act of justice, magnanimity and wise statesmanship, for the en franchisement of the colored peo ple of the South. About the best point which he made was, that the slaves of the South had been the Laza ruses of this eountry, lying at the rieh slaveholders' gate s . Ifoth had been in a dying conoition ; but the poor roan was seen to be somewhere very near Abraham's losom, and the rich man was now singi nis out " Father Abraham, send Lazarus.' Mr. Lincoln said he wanted three bundled thousand, while Davis said he meant to arm as many as he could make eiFeeti cu. Into which ever scale the hlaek man went there went victory. The colored man who fought under the Ain,2ldean flag land Fort Wagner and Port Hudson showed that the negro tight should be invested with absoltde• citizenship, and was entitled m the ele,iive franchise.— The negro was heretofore looked upon as a religious animal, but there was a good deal of imman nature about him. Some people thought that after the war the cohered etee would leave the country ; hut lie the speak cri said they were lore for no such mis sionary purpose ; for they meant to become part and parcel of the American people. 'attain ethnolo gists were felicitating themselves upon the idea that the negro, like the Indian, would die out. That was an emir ; for the negro, instead of shrinking from el vinzatam, was fond of dressilig like white peiTple, in a fashiont able coat ; liked to foilu.Vlhe soldier, and to do other 0.; int-Iligent _things. In urging ight the negro to vote, he said that it v. a- a necessary condition for 80 , reoia it ,tion ~,,,t at ty a t t h e south, aml .. , x! , ;'essed the opinion that if they wer,. permitted to vote, the pro fessiMial poll . who now eagerly sought for the Irishman's vote as soon as he landed, v, , ,nid 1,,b1 loving confer ences with Ow negroes. tlc dwelt in a numerous strain upon the prejudiCes entertained by the whites against the blacks, and mention the fat:t that a Bra zilian slave, v Lau I;be..ated, was at lib erty to till any position in society for which hit tal , nt t rated hint.

Again, he informs us that the deficiencies in the number of years.l6ervice furnished is to be made up under the present call, which is not a new one, but to supply a deficiency under a former call ; and then shows the inconsistency of such a provision, by stating that "the time to apply the credit, Of take into account the amount of credits to which the dis trict is entitled, is when at settlement is made with all the districts, with a view to; assigning quotas under a new call.— These noted provisions seem to the pub lic to be contradictions, and we confess our inability to harmoniie them. California Statistics The annual reports from California show that the total revenue of the Fed eral Government on the Pacific coast for the past year was about nine millions of dollars; the excess of disbursements about six hundred and forty-five thou sand dollars. The import duties collect ed amounted to nearly six millions of dollars in-gold. The total coinage reach ed sixteen millions. The entire product of gold and silver for all the Pacific mines was about fifty-five millions of dollars.

The rule in applying credits is that they should be deducted from the quota of the call that produced them. All men raised since the call of July 18, 1864. are credited upon the quota under that call; lithe quota is more than tilled, it is carried as excess to the credit of the locality, and taken into ac count in the runt ~meat of the quota under the colt of December 19, 1884, and provost marshals are instructed that in determin ing the quotas of sub districts under the present call they will apply clad, excess ac cordingly; and all men raised since Decem ber 19 are of course credited upon the call of that date, In crediting the excess that is carried forward froth the call of July 18, 1864, and applied to the call of Decem ber 19, 1861, I ernisider not only the number of men of which the excess is composed, but also the period of their service; and the quotas assigned under the call of December 19 are thus reduced by this excess of ser vice, and hence they should not be further reduced'except by enlistment§ subsequent to December 19, 1864, the date of the call for three I:Ml:tared thousand melt. The credits to the State of Minnesota (un der the call of July 18, 1864) to llsTovem her 30; 1864, show that the men furnished i l ,s Y7 6l 2 — ,6 a Bs v t ery for la t r w a o e p y;a po ts, rti l2o o4 4 , ; . . f f o o r r thee on r e ya year as wtll be observed, being one year The excess of credits on the Ist day of Au gust, was 1,407, of which the Firit dietrlct ie credited with 1,037, and the Second district with 370, and credit has been given for three years term of service on each unit.

Gen From Canada Rebels Rejoicing Over the Failure at - Wilmington—Origin of the Rumor of French and English Intervention. Special Correspondence of the Zribune.l MONTREAL, Saturday, Jan; 7, ISO-1 In my last letter I adverted to the gloomy visages and desponding tonesof the prominent rebels in Canada, and exposed some of the causes—which could not reach the public through the ordinary channels—that they had, in common with their fellow-traitors at home, to discourage and depress them. As I have before stated, every event that transpires in Dixie, or elsewhere, favorable or the reverse to the Rebel cause, is speedily communicated to the Rebel emissaries here, and that it icon iy neccessary to be in the confidence of these emissaries, or their messengers, or friends, to obtain information of a very interesting and important character. I regret that I cannot to-day report these Rebels still nearer the vergeolde spair than they appeared at the date of my last letter. They are truly extraor dinary people. It requires much to dis hearten and deject them, but very little is sufficient to encourage and elate them. Of course the most courageous of them could not fail being brought to grief by the defeat of Hood, the fall of Savannah, and the disaffection manifested by.the people of Georgia on the line of Sher man's march, and by peace petitions to Jeff. Davis and his Congress'; but the unfortunate failure a few days later, of r, expedition against Wilmington, completely t,stored their equanimity, arid you may now find them swagger ing arouml public Maces and gascouad ing as ridiculously as ever. But the failure of this expedition is not the only cause they have, or fancy they have, for self-gratulation. A few days ago a letter dated at Paris ryas here ere by Sanders Trom A. Dudley Mann, with aceompanyifig dis patches for the ltehel government, con veying theassurance that Napoleon had determined, either with or wifhout the co-operation of lreat Britain, to recog nize the ConCetteracy soon after the re installation of Mr. Lincoln. This in ' telligenee ha- ina , !, all the Rebels who have cell treated to it very jubilant. The letter from Mann had not been in more than eight and Mrty hours, lie fore a rumor obtained currency mu' created no little exeitement among the natives, that the French and :British Governments, acting in concert, would recognize the Confederacy immediately after the 4th of March next. This oil:di( In my ct:ntain knowledge grew out of the hoastings " The Ter rapin,"—a fashionalde refreshment soloon ill this city—of a drunken South erner who had been in foinied or tile re ceipt by Sanders of the letter referred to, and I Was not a little Sliria -1•,1 aroused to find it repeated in a Wash ington dis : .patch to one or your city em temptlraries. am (1.1..ta' that the Rebel emissa ries here hat receiVed uo as,uranee front abroad. utl indulge little or no hope that Deceit Britain intends, or is likely to unite with Frallee itt the sup• posed scheme of Indeed, Mann declare, that Chill an event i, Of the elncstiou.

But that undue importance may not be attached to this letter of Mann, it is proper to 6ay that ho does not pretend to have received the assurance he 601- vey, from the Einpeor himself, and bases his assertions entirely upon the account given by Slidell of an interview had by hint with Drouyn de Lltuys about the Ist of December. This is not the first or second time that it has been declared by Rebel Com missioners that their Government was about to receive foreign recognition - . I know that as lung ago as the Summer of 1.-63 there were received—at least that Benjamin alleged, :Ind that the South ern armies and people were informed that there had been received—at the Rebel •' ,, tat6,lDepartinent dispatches from from Slidell, conveying the positive as surance that the Confederacy would be recognized by France before the loth day of April, P•Oh. But for the hopes inspired by this and similar fahrications, the rehellion would have collapsed long ago; and it is not improbable that the assurances just for warded by Slidell, Mann eu Co., from another piece of chicanery to impose still further upon their credulous vie tints. Be this as it may, the sensation rumor that has forsome days been going the rounds, has 'toothier foundation than Mann's letter to Sanders.

Francis P. Blair in Richmond From the Itlehmomt smo. ht.) Francis P. Blair, Sr., the Yankee 1 peace commissioner, arrived in Rich mond late on Wednesday night, attend ed by a servant. Mr. Blair came into our lines at a pout in front of Fort Har rison, held, by the city battalion. He was delayed several hours on our lines waiting for a permit to come to the city, which was not prl.) , Li red till a late hour of the night. inee his arrival he has been kept, or has kept himself, from the public eye, and his Illovelliell 1S and whereabouts are shrowded iu mystery. Ile is believed to Is lodged at the Spottswood Hotel, and we think there is little doubt that he is, though his name does not appear on the register. He has been met accidentally by several of his old acquain tances, and their meet ings were characterized by the utmost cordiality on both sides. lie is said to have Intel interviews with the chief ex ecutive officers of the government.— What passed at these interviews we need not expect to know until Aire Blair returns to the United States, when everything will be published in full in the New York Tribuns .and the other New York papers. Mr. Blair's ostensible business in Richmond (or rather, presumed busi ness here, for there is nothing ostensible about him or his business or move ments,) is to ascertain whether any thing can be be dune to bring about a cessation of hostilities—an end to the war We think his real business is to place the Lincoln administration in a good position before the Northern peo ple, who are just called upon to fill another draft. Lincoln knows that the propositions he will make are such that they will be spurned by our govern-; ment ; but our rejection of them will enable him to go before his people, and, with Blair's aid, to prove that the "rebels" will accept of no terms of peace, and that nothing is left him but a " vigorous. prosecution of, the war."

[From the Albany Evening Journal.] If true, it may be assumed that the recent Wilmington abortion has had something to do with it. For, in .that affair, "somebody blundered" most egre„gmusly. From the Washington Republican.) In the last edition of the Republican yesterday, we announced that Major- General Butler was relieved as com mander of the Department of Virginia and South Carolina. It is perhaps proper to add that this was done at the instance and by the particular request of Lieutenant-General Grunt, the general in-chief of the Army of the United States. [From the Providence Press,j Of course we are not advised suffi ciently to comment upon the order of removal, but presume that it arises from the Wilmington failure. There was a glaring fault in the management of that affair, and if Butler was the guilty one, the country will acquiesce in and approve the order which sends him to Lowell.

It is a question, now discussed freely in some Republican journals, whether Butler is a traitor or a coward. Fro ii the Chicago Tribune.; Admiral Porter expresses regret that More of the gallant fellows under (len. Butler's command did nut follow their two comrades in their raid upon the fort. We will gu a step further, and say that the conduct of Butler and Weitzel looks like cowardice. It is generally supposed that the troops Went down there to attempt something hazardous, and the public will agree with Admiral Porter that it was hardly worth while to go so far and come back without making the attempt. ,Fr.Fm the Portland Alt It is good news, if true, that we re ceived by telegraph, that:President Lin coln lots had the audacity to deal,justly by ( n.

His ice-house is situated on the side of a gravel hill, covering a pit 10 feet deep and 12 feet square, and is a simple frame structure over the pit about 4 or 3 feet in height; the sides of ,the pit are hoarded itp, and the drainage is through the gravel. Finding it expensive to haul ice from the neighboring ponds and rivers, he lust whi ter tilled his house with snow, after the cus tom prevailing in Switzerland and Califor nia for my friend is a traveler), simply rolling it up in masses, anti with a wheel barrow conveying it to the house—first lining the sides of the pit with straw, and after it was filled covering the snow with the same material, thus filling his' house without cost, and securing an abundant supply of good ice for his large family during the whole summer. The snow set tled down into a .compact mass, Wben spring and summer heats affected it, and a portion still-reniains at the bottom of the pit as :fond as a glacier of the Alps. : • , ANOTIlgli OIL COMPANY. -- IT'ergOlil dealt-.
