a state of things which could not have

means for maintaining his castle against

_Congressional Investigations
few weeks 'since it was discovered
that large amounts of property had been
stolen from the government, in the navy
yard at Philadelphia, and after Congress
tnet.the Member from that district moved
that a Committee inquire into the alleged
Erna ; but the Lincoln majority-refused to
.permit,any investigation. A few days la
ter, a Senator from the distant • state of
Kansas, bearing it said that some work
men in that yard had not voted for Lin
coln, moved that a committee inquire
whether disloyal men were employed
there; - and his motion was promptly
adopted by the Lincoln majority.
Such is the character of the powers that
be ; contractors may steal millions, and it
as kept quiet, or covered-np; but let a
poor man be at work for the government,
and refuse to vote the Lincoln ticket, and
he is hunted out on a charge of treason,
and perhaps a negro put in his place—or
a white man who will sell his vote for a
price !
.A shoddy newspaper in Philadelphia
denies that there are disloyal men in the
navy yard, because all of them voted for
Old Abe. The workmen are loyal—their
votes proved that. The bosses are loyal,
of course, else they could not have got
there ; but the organ admits that they
steal like fury. Still they are loyal; and
what harm is there in stealing a few mil
lions, if they only hurrah for Abe?
•
ta"Another evidence of the " age of
parity," may be found in the following
item from a Washington paper:
Auditor Adams and his clerk Sbarretts
of the Postoffice Department, at Wash
ington, were lately discovered to have
sold some five or sir thousand dollars
worth of waste paper, and pocketed the
proceeds. These men bad reduced the
pay of the laborer employed to pick up the
papergnd sell it, on the pretense that it
was their " duty to save what they could
for the government in these times."
Wendell Phillips on the Issue.
Mr. Phillips the popular advance leader
of the abolition party, is a hold men, an d
talks plainer than many of his followers.
In his recent speech in Philadelphia, he
staled the position clear when he said :
.I ' o state shall .enact a law which makes
any distinction among her citizens of race,
COLOR or nationality. In other words,
the negro must be equal at the ballot•box,
in the camp, and in the Senate.
NO SM=E=.
The patriotism of the Democratic party
is assiled and its motives impugned be
cause it will not surrender its organization
and basely abandon its mission now that
Mr. Lincoln is re-elected. Efforts are being
made to induce the Democratic masses to
forgot the abuse and injustice they have
experienced at the bands of their opponents
—betray their own clear convictions of
duty, and unite with the Republicans to
carry out Mr. Lincoln's (abolition) pro
gramme. All such efforts however will
fail. In 1861, Democrats with a magni.
nimity nnparallelled surrendered party
ties and gave a cordial support to Lincoln
under assurances and promises Which he
utterly disregarded. They cannot again
be in like manner:deceived while that, e
vent is still fresh in their memory. Be
sides how can Deinocrats honestly aban
don their organization, devoted to princi
ples Which they believe correct, for Mr.
Lincoln's policy which they believe to be
fraught only with evil disaster and failure. ,
The issues between the Administration ,
and the Democracy are vital and were I
distinctly defined in the late canvas. The
proposed policy of Mr. Lincoln (see next
draft, dm) received the greatest apparent
number of votes but that does not estab
lish its correctness nor did it convince the
Democrats that their convictions are er
nmeous. Which party is right in its
views and conclusions time and experience
can alone deterinine. In the meantime
Democrats believe that abolition as rag
Led upon the' war policy of the Adminis-i
tration is both unconstitutional and im
practicable, and cannot waive that con
viction and throw themselves into the
arms of the Administration without self
stultification. It is - useless for republi
cans to• expect it,. Mr. Lincoln has all the
power desirable at his command. Let him
now use it as his radical counsellors nlay
advise.c• Bot:Democrats - will have none of
it. 'They are a power in the land • nearly'
Two Millions strong. When radicalism
has spent its force and exhausted its inge

Expedition against 'Wilmington.
DEC. 24.-r-Ourreadersmay expect with
in the next few days most important intelli
gence from Wilmington. In the beginning
of last week a large fleet, bearing land
forces and having with it seven ironclads,
sailed from Fortress Monroe for the cap
ture of Wilmington. It' was commanded
by Admiral Porter and General„Butler.
The expedition was to rendezvous at Beau
forts North Carolina, until everything was
in readiness to begin the attack. Scarcely
had the vessels sailed from Fortress Mon
roe, however, when a severe storm began,
which raged in its greatest fury off Cape
Hatteras, on Wednesday, December 14th.

Some of the other monitors have not yet.
reached Beaufort, and are thought to have
been lost.
Of course so severe a .storm separated
the fleet, and scattered the vessels far and
wide. On Thursday, December 75th,
they began arriving at Beaufort. At last
accounts some of them had not arrived,
and several of them had been given up for
lost. The fleet intended to coal at Beau
fort, and arrange there the minor details
of the contest. We have not yet received
through Northern channels any advises of
the fleet having sailed to Wilmington, but
a despatch in a Southern newspaper an
nounces that during thenight of Tuesday,
and the morning of Wednesday last, the
advance of the fleet appeared off Wilming
ton harbor. We have no news of the be
ginning of any attack. It was reported
that Beauregard was in Wilmington the
beginning of this week, preparing for its
defencee.
Gen. Bragg has sent a despatch, dated
on Wednesday last, that the Federal fleet
had appeared off the harbor, but the
weather was too inclement for an attack.
War Items.
—Rear Admiral Porter, under date of
the 15th inst., informs the Navy Depart
ment of the destruction of the blockade
runner Petrel, driven ashore by the gun
boats at New inlet, Cape Fear river. She
was fired upon and sunk, and was finally
totally destroyed by a northeast gale.—
She" had on board a large cargo of arms
and munitions of war. Admiral Porter
reports that within the last, fifty days the
fleet has captured and destroyed $5,500,-
000 worth of the- enemy's property in
blockade runners.
—There is an official report that a Fed
eral attack upon Kinston, North Carolina,
has been repulsed by the Confederate.—
The Federal troops numbered six hundred,
and had two cannon.
—Firing upon Mississippi steamers
near Vicksburg, has been resumed, and it
is reported from New Orleans that the
guerrillas' have been making raids upon
the Federal plantations ne Milliken's

—The fleet which left Fortress Monroe
last week, the probable destination of
which is Wilmington, North Carolina,
contained siity : four vessels, carrying five
hundred and ninety seven guns. Six iron
dads accompanied it.
—From South western Virginia we have
intelligence that Burbridge is retreating
and that Saltville was not captured. No
damage has been done to the Confederate
-salt-works. The Federal invasion of that
section is thus at an end.
—Governor Clarke, of Mississippi, his
issued a proclamation calling out the

being made public by correspondents.—
Sherman befit about one thousand men on
his march, principally stragglers. Twelve

all of which had been abandoned.
—lt is announced that on December 10th,
the advance of General Davidson's raid

few days before, was at AuFasta, in the
southern part of Mississippi. Davidson
was advancing towards Mobile, and had a
force of about four thousand men. '
—There in very little additional intelli

has abandoned theline of Duck ilvet, and,
as was expected, had retreated further
south. The Federal cavalry have d one a

no impression on the Confederate rear.
—Sheridan, on December 15, sent out a
scouting party of one hundred cavalry
men. They were attacked by Bloseby's
men, just south of Winchester,, and but
twelve escaped. Eighty-eight were killed,
wounded, or captured. •

WASHINGTON, Dee. 20.
By the President of the United States :
A PROCLAMATION
Whereas, by the act approvad July 4,
1864, entitled "An act further to regu
late and provide for the enrolling and
calling out. the national forces,• and for
other purposes," it is provided that the
President of the United States may, at his
discretion at any time hereafter, call for
any number of men as ,volunteers for the
respective terms of one, two, or three
years for military service, and that. in case
the quota or any part thereof, of any
town, ward of a city, precinct, or election
district; or of a county not so sub-divi
ded shall not be filled within th e a p ace O f
fifty days after such call, then the Prot
cleat shall immediately order a draft for
one year to 611 such quota, or any part
thereof, which may be unfilled, and.where
as by the credits allowed in accordance
with the act of Congress on the call for
five hundred thousand men made July
18, 1864, the number of rpen to be ob
tained under that call was reduced to 280,-
000 ; and whereas, the operations of the
enemy in certain states have rendered it
impracticable to procure , from them their
full quotas of troops under the said calls ;
and whereas, from the foregoing causes
two hundred and fifty thousand men have
been put into the army, navy and marine
corps, under the said call of July 18, 1864,.
leaving a deficiency on that, call of two
hundred and s'xty thousand. Now, there
fore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of
the United States of America, in order to
supply the aforesaid deficiency, and to
provide for casualties in the military and
naval service of the United States, do is
sue this, my call, for three hundred thou
sand volunteers, to serve for one, two, or
three years. The quotas of the states,
districts rnd sub-districts under this call,
will be assigned by the War Department
through the bureau of the Provost, Mar
shal General of the United States, and in
case the quota, or any part thereof; of any
town, township, ward of a city, precinct,
or election district, or of a county not so
subdivided, shall not be filled before the
the 15th day of February, 1865, then a
draft shall be made to fill such quota, or
any part thereof, under the call, , which
may be unfilled on said 15th day of Fub
roam 1865.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
