Last New Year's day, with trembling dread, Many waited to hear If, in the long sad list of dead, Who In the latest conflict bled, There was a name most dear. This New Year's day a tranquil breast Is to each watcher given; Many a fireside is mast blest— And all the soldiers have found rest, At home, here, or in heaven! None can enjoy the New Year's cheer As these, once prisoners, will. Who, when they see the feast appear, Will say, between a smile and tear, "I was at Andersonville !"

And who does not (e'en while he quaffs a toast), Make at such time some heart-solacing boast? Not of his old exploits, but speaks out plain, How he will now from past misdeeds refrain ; How he intends "this year" to drop some fault, And sinning at its threshold, then, makes halt, Resolving many foibles to reclaim, And take the "tide to fortune," p'raps to fame. There doubtless is a tide in men's affairs. That would, if taken, make them millionaires. A tide at hand they need not drift with far, If they but take that leading to—the &ran!

Enough—we must remember, if we can, Our friends are thinking of the inner man, And though they doubtless will soon drop in here, And dress anew; to suit a bran-new year! We must abandon now our earnest tone, And let the tables with their turkeys groan ; Politeness bids us quietly to stop Until the champagne bottles cease to pop; So we wish all bright, prosperous years to meet, Propitious as the dawning one we greet; And hope the fair horizon now in view Again may cheer them, and their children too!

The Privateer Cases---The Mexican Question, &c. [From the London Times. Dec 16.] The passage in President Johnson's Mes sage which especially concerns this country ought, we think, to be accepted in a friendly spirit. He couldnot do less than review the history of the Alabama claims; and in re viewing them he could hardly say less at least to an American Congress, than he has Said. There are, however, some things which the President did not say, and which are, nevertheless, very material. No one can deny, for instance, that "the accordance of belligerent rights to the ,insurgents was unprecedented." Lord Russell admitted as much in his correspondence with Mr. Adams; but the question is whether the civil war was not unprecedented too; whether the - United States did not assert belli gerent rights without :consulting pre cedents, by declaring a blockade; and whether a neutral State could do otherwise than follow their example. Further, it is perfectly true, as a matter of fact; that Eng land furnished more efficient aid to the Confederates than any other Power. It could not be otherwise, considering that England, of all maritime countries, lies nearest to America, and possesses the largest private docks in the world; but it is equally true that, being also the best market for arms and ammunition, she con tributed more than any other nation to the suppression of the rebellion. Again, it is an undoubted fact that cruisers built though not equipped, in our ports "drove Ameri can commerce from the seas and transferred it" to neutral bottoms, nor can we be sur prised that some confusion should have existed, in the minds of the merchants who suffered thereby, between this consequence and the motives of our government. It should have been remembered, however, even by those who were least disposed to rely on our good faith, that in this respect the interests of our shipowners wax e op posed to those ofevery other class in the community. Liverpool does not dictate our national policy to the exclusion of Manchester and the great manufacturing districts, which lost far more by the continuance of the war titan was ever gained by our mercantile marine. We ought not, therefore, to be suspected of favoring the creation of a Confederate navy on selfish grounds, and the failure of oar government to prevent evasions of our law in one or two cases ought not to be recorded without some recognition of its successful intervention on other occasions. The advo cates of the Confederate States have never ceased to protest against the oppressive construction, as they allege, which the law officers of the Crown fastened upon the Foreign Enlistment act, and the embargo laid upon the two iron-clad rams was cer tainly an arbitrary exercise of executive authority. These considerations should not be forgotten, even in America, and the can duct 'of Great Britain during a period of unparalleled difficulty should be measured, not by the losses inflicted on American trade, but by the duties of neutrality. The President has candidly appreciated the reasons upon which alone we have de clined Mr. Seward's proposal of arbitration. Our liability or non-liability for the ravages of the Alabama and her consorts turns on no disputed facts or points of honor, such as mayroperly be referred to a third party, but "on questions of public law." The po sition, however, taken by Lord Russell on behalf of England is net quite accurately stated by Mr. Johnson. We are not aware that any British Minister has hitherto " rested his justification on the ground that the municipal law of a nation and the do mestic interpretation thereof are measures (that is, conclusive measures) of its duty as a neutral." No one conversant with inter national law and practice would venture, we should think, to advance so unqualified a proposition, nor does our case at all depend upon it. To put an extreme supposi tion, it would be simply absurd to contend that a neutral might take an active part in warfare without for feiting neutral rights; because no munici pal statute prohibits it. Nor, coming nearer to probabilities, would any one for a mo ment argue that a decision of its own law courts, however perverse, could shelter a neutral ag.iinst thejust demands of an in jured belligerent? What has really been as serted on our part is that, so long as we have violated no obligation, any loss in curred by the United States is, as against us, damn= sine injuria. President John son and Mr. Seward will hardly` demur to this proposition, and, if they do not, it is for them to show what obligation we have violated unless it be a general obligation, unknown to jurists, to insure foreign belli gerents against any damage by the acts of British subjects. The utmost than can be said is that a neutral is bound to have a stringent Foreign Relistment act, and to enforce it rigorously; to which we reply that we have such an act and have enforced it with a strictness almost inquisitorial, but that no Foreign Enlistment aet, however stringent and however rigor ously enforced, can effectually prevent the agents of a belligerent from purchasing in neutral ports ships capable of easy con version into men-of-war. The Americans themselves found it impossible to do so when Portugal was at war with her colo nies, and'we know of no means, consistent with the spirit of English or American in stitutions, by which this object could be secured. We have not, however, declined to discuss Oil point, but only to play an in demnity for what, as it is, we could not pre vent. On the contrary, we have expressly offered to entertain any modification of the law existing in both countries which may be suggested by, the American government. If such a conference should take place, there does not seem to be any good reason why it should be confined to. England and Ame rica. A code of rules for the future guidance of neutral nations in time of war would be of great value to all maritime nations, and if one could be drawn up by an interna tional commission representing all the great Powers a similar misunderstanding could hardly occur again. Mr. Johnson does us no more than justice in attributing to us the same earnest desire for peace which he professes himself. Even when the . causes of mutual exasperation were at their height, there never was a war party in this country. There were those who feared that war might be forced upon us as a dire necessity, but there were none who deliberately contemplated that contin ' gency - without horror- Oar ;pacif . ic senti ments have not indeed, as yet, been tested b3rlprovocation.• as severe as that which the Americans at one time • fancied they had received, but they are tested at this moment by a grievance far from im aginary. The very same mail which brings us the Prealdent's;Message to Congress also briar, us news of a very stran_g_e proceeding Within - the territory of the United States. We are duly inforrnedfthat a Fenian gleaate —or r, they "the .Fenian Senatelt=lifirilies- - sion a t New 'York; that the Fenian Presi dent is a. outto issue bondi bearing thee*. nature of the Irish republic; .and that a con stitutional difficulty has arisen between; him and the Senate on this financial operation; while in. the meantimethe Governor of New Brunswick has received information of an intended Fenian raid'on that province. All this, we need hardly say, is of apiece with what we have been hearing for months 'past, and we have ceased to be startled by the in telligence that American citizens are openly preparing for an invasion of her Majestyis dominions under the, very eyes . of their gevernment. There is here no question of neutrality, for the rights and duties of neu trality are wholly derived from a state of hostility; it is a simple case of individuals levying private war, without disguise, against a friendly Power. The cruisers launched in British waters were at least commissioned from Richmond. It was thence that they received their orders, and thence that they were provided with the sinews of war. But Fenianism is American from first to last--in its origin, in its char acter, in its objects, in its organization. To say that it has its basis of operations in the United States is little; for it is notorious that it derives from the United States its whole strength and its very existence. Why, then, do we not remonstrate angrily against its being tolerated, and demand redress at Washington? Because we know that Pre sident Johnson ought not to be held respon sible for anything which the laws of tare() country do not enable him to cheok, or for everything which they do enable him to check, but which it might be premature to check at the present moment. We do not ask, or need equal forbearance in respect of our own shortcomings; but only that which Mr. Johnson concedes to us, the credit of having acted up to cur own views of hon orable neutrality. [From the London Post December 16.] So far as we are enabled to judge from the telegraphic summary before us, the Mes sage of President Johnson is temperate and statesmanlike. At home he proposes to to take such measures as may be deemed most expedient by Congress to effect a com plete reconstruction of the Union, and pre vent any future attempts to occasion its dissolution; abroad he declares his intention of preserving, so far as lies in his power, the existing friendly relations with other States. The abolition of slavery in the l 7 nited States and non-intervention in the affairs of foreign powers, constitute the most salient features in his domestic and foreign policy. In Europe the Message will be scann;d chiefly with the object of ascertaining the policy which the American government mu-nd to pursue towards England in re spect to the claims arising out of the depre dations of the Alabama and her sister cruisers, and towards France in consequence of her intervention in Mexico. On both these heads the language of the President may be regarded as reassuring. On the subject of Mexico the language of the President is as cautfous and ambiguous as the most astute diplomatist could desire. It the United States are challenged to defend republicanism against foreign interference, they will respond to the challenge, but we are left in the dark whether the establish ment of an empire in the southwest corner of the North American continent will be interpreted as such. On the whole, the tenor of the Message may be regarded as satisfactory, and justifies us in assuming that the American government are desirous of keeping on good terms With those whom they acknowledge to be their friends. [From the London Daily News, Dec. IS.) President Johnson's references in his Mes sage to the relations of his government with foreign powers appear to have been friendly in their tone and intention. The Alabama claims make, as was to be expected, a great figure in his address, and the case is urged from the American point of view with much tenacity. The correspondence with France respecting Mexico is to be laid before Con gress, and cannot fail to prove of the highest interest. (From the London Telegraph, Dec 164 .As . the first President's message addressed to the Congress of the United States since the termination of the great civil war the document, of which we publish a tele graphic summary, has a really ;historical interest and significance. And it is, upon the whole, not unworthy of the occasion. We know nothing grander than the way in which the North has used its triumph and the South accepted its defeat. The moral influence of the war has been most admira ble. It has raised the standard of political thought and action throughout the whole community, and, above all, it has made the various sections of Americans acquainted with each other's wishes, virtues, qualities and claims. To this country, as well as to the South; Mr. Johnson devotes a portion of his mes sage; and the one has as little reason to com plain of his remarks as the other. Of course he censures England for her conduct during the war, and repeats what Mr. Adams has so often said in his despatches. Our recog nition of Southern belligerency is still the theme of reproach, and is stigmatized as unprecedented. 4 - 4 a ',- '..' While, how ever, we entirely differ from President Johnson in this matter, it must be confessed that he speaks of this country in no bitter ness of tone. Nor can vie be surprised that he gives prominence to the escape of the Alabama, and the contequent injury in flicted on American commerce; or that he firmly insists on the right of his country men to compensation. But it is satisfactolry to find that he does not charge us with tied faith, or advise any present attempt at redress. Refusing to waive the claims for compensation, hd will net press them. Whether France will view the Message with satisfaction may he doubted. Still, while Mr. Johnson pronounces the usual American shibboleth, while he gives the Monroe doctrine its annual airing, he in substance declares thst America simply desires to be left orlon The States have work enough to do be ween the Atlantic and the Pacific; they onld rather Europe could manage to keep . out of their way Tal together-to refer dis pu ted points to arbi tration—to see establis ski a clearer code of international law. If urope, nevertheless, will interfere, Presi ent Johnson must speak •to his friends, Ulysses Grant and Robert Lee. There is not a touch of swag ger in the Messinge; but the President hints plainly enough that there is a considerable reserve of fighting power behind him, whilst he expresses his earnest hope that it will never again be called into action. Such are the chief points of the message. [Flom the Londe Star, Dec. 16.] The important port'on of President John son's message, so far as regards Europe, is his treatment of the two great questions in which England and Prance are interested. The one relates to thfi demands made upon us for the damage ocbasioned by the priva teers ; the other, which more nearly affects our neighbor"; to the intervention in Mexico. We are not of opinion that England can fairly be held responsible for many of the claims preferred against her by the United States. We believe if the cases had been fairly investigated by a commission mu tually chosen, that of the Alabama would alone have been of any gravity. And it would have been better for us to pay a dozen times over for the destruction caused by that privateer, which Lord Russelladmitted to the House of Lords had escaped through the treachery of some of some of our own officials, than to have on the books as a rule established by ourselves that a nation ought in no case to submit to discuss claims di rected against her in relation to breaches:of neutrality. The continuance of such an unsatisfactory state of international law is a:worse menace against England than any position which the President or the Anvil eau people are ever likely to assume. HILADELPHIA. ! SATURDAY; DECk,MBER 30, 1865.---TRIPLE SHEET:- Though the message may not be all that could be wished, it IS as moderate and satis factory as could be reasonably expected or hoped. That the President should treat England with injustice and anger was to be taken for granted. It is satisfactory to learn that the President has no idea of pursuing the imaginary claims of his Government to a diplomatic rupture. And we quite agree with him that it would be very desirable that the state of international law on the subject should be made the topic of serious consideration. The exploits of the Alabama showed that the old law does not answer its whole purpose; that in the present state of maritime skill and science it is possible for a merchantman to sail unarmed from a neu tral port, and without entering any other port, to appear as a hostile man-of-war on the high seas. This is an evasion of the intent of the rule, which was that warlike expeditions should take their departure only from bellieerent territory, and it is desirable that this whole branch of public law should undergo revision. The new rules, however, which might be agreed on could have no retrospective force, and would not affect the conclusive answer given by England to the American claims. IFrom the Manchester Ouardlati, Dec. 16.3 It is gratifying to find that, so far as a very imperfect summary of the great state paper of December enables us to judge, the character which Mr. Johnson's policy has already earned appears likely to be fully sustained. s ='•-• By the rapidity with which they are dissolving the enormous warlike establishment which they found nn their hands at the close of the war, the American government are certainly per forming a tusk in which no other country could hope to rival them. Since the com mencement of the year the navy, we are told, has been reduced from five hundred and thirty vessels, armed with three thou sand guns, to one hundred and seventeen, armed with eight hundred and thirty. In the army the reduction has not been at an equal rate, and previous reports have exaggerated the extent to which it has been actually effected; but Mr. Johnson, never theless, ventured to fix the permanent level to which the vast host existing early in the year is to be brought down at the very low figure of 50,000 men, with an organization enabling them to be - raised to 82,000 on occa sion. The President will probably find few European financiers to share in his hopes of discharging the national debt of the United States within thirty years. But it must be owned that the immense difficulties of this problem are worthily confropted by the energy and adaptability with which the Fe deral government are contracting their ex penditure. = a = The temporary differ ences between ourselves and America are discussed in a tone which seems to leave nothing to be desired; and, so far as can be judged from an oblique allusion to France and Mexico, it may be inferred that Presi dent Johnson discerns no greater danger of any disturbance of the peace from dilficul ties in that direction. Winnings of the English Turf—Mr. Ten The winnings of three men on the English turf this year, in stakes alone, amount to about forty thousand pounds. How much their bets come to we have not the means of determining, but a couple of hundred thousand dollars in gold is pretty well for three stables to win in public money. The greatest winner this year is Count de Lagrange, who bad ten wins, placing nearly twenty thousand pounds to his credit. Much the larger portion of this was earned by Gladiateur, and the Count's winning balance would be but small• if the Guineas, the Derby and. St. Leger were subtracted from it. Next upon the list comes the Duke of Beaufort, the head of the Somersets, one of the great sporting families of the Midland counties. Seve ral of our correspondents "Privateer," " Practice," etc., used to hunt at times with the Duke's hounds, and we know that his fame as a master of fox hounds equals his celebrity as a magnate of the turf. The Duke had ten wins this year, and the amount of stakes they secured was above sixteen thousand pounds. Lord Stanford is the third of the two we have mentioned. He had thirteen wins, and they secured very nearly twelve thousand pounds. The extent of his racing shed, one of the largest in England, is, however, to be looked at. The sixth name in the list is that of Mr. Ten Broeck, whose number of winnings was twenty-two, and the amount above six thousand pounds. It appears from this that though the American stable has won no great race during the year, it has been quite industrious and suc cessful in harvesting moderate ones. The list contains the names of above five hundred owners of race horses who won something in England in the courses of the season, and to.be sixth in this is cer tainly a distinguished - place for Mr. Ten Broeck. Only the Count de Lagrange, the Duke of Beaufort, Lord Stanford, Mr. Merry and Mr. Sutton are ahead of him. Lord. Portsmouth, the Marquis of Hastings, Lord Westmoreland, Lord Glasgow, Sir Joseph Hawley, Baron Rothschild, Lord St. Vincent, Captain Machell and many other renowned turf men come after the American owner. Wilkes' ,Spirit. I PUBLIO LIBRANY.-Dr. Morris, of Albany, Missouri, has given a small building to be used for a public library, towards which some three hundred and twenty dollars has been subscribed. The building was, on the 10th, hauled- by seven, yoke of oxen, amid cheers, to the Court House square. T.PA. TON of silver, has been received georradaho by a lie* York Arm. The Mexican question is treated with the same calmness and mOderation, but with Much greater firmness. * We do not believe the -- Emperor Napoleon entertained any design in his Mexican ex peditiot:Cso vast and visionaryas the props ganaisnfof imperial ideas. He placed an emperor on the throne simply because nothing but an iron despotism.gave foreign 43tervention a chance of success. But if the American people choose to take the presence Of his troops on their borders and the deli berate preference by the invader of the Monarchial to the republican forms of government as a menace to their institution, who has a right to rebuke them? Certainly not France, for if the Monroe doctrine of America for the Americans be immortal, as some of our politicians assert, she cannot uphold the morality of that doc trine which proclaims that American Mexico is for the French. President John son is not unwilling to make France con scious of the fact that when the dangerous game of menacing has once been began more than one nation can engage in the play, and so he adds: "The United States cannot foresee, nor are they willing to con sider what opportunities might present themselves, or what combinations might offer to protect them against designs inimi cal to their form of government." This threat is judiciously vague; but that it will be carefully pondered by the sagacious ruler of the Tuileries we have no doubt. It means no present war, it does not alter the policy of the United States on this question in any degree, it betrays no determination to bring the events in Mexico to a speedy issue; but it does mean that the French in tervention is now, as it has heretofore been, regarded by the American government with a disapprobation and dislike which will only be removed when the French troops have been withdrawn.
