well, be need only stale that thero are fifty gi jr vrtz iron-clad vessels in service or in the last stages of completion, and that the blockade has:been so effective that England suffers from the want of cotti.n, and the South froni the want- of nearly every article of luxury and necessity. The various questions of legislation that will meet the attention of Congress we need not anticipate. The judiciary system wilt be per fected, and our finances will be strengthened by every means in tbe power of the Govern ment. The borne and seaboard defences will receive the ,attention of the members, and we may hope before long to have a gun in post tion at every point of danger from, a foreign or domestic foe. The war will, of coarse, de mand the utmost consideration of each branch. Bow to end the war by an honorable peace— how to crush the rebellion, and re-establish the Union on its old limits—how to restore all the:, privileges which a condition bordering on anarchy compelled us to suspend—how to restore the currency, commerce,and manufac tures—how to bring us out of this great trouble a better and braver people, with purer manners and nobler laws—how to extirpate from our social system all traces of wrong, oppression, slavery, and injustice—will be a part of the great duty of this Congress. The honorable representatives will find, we think, that they can best do this great duty by giving to the Administration the warmest and most conti- ding support-by sustaining their action here tofore in relation to confiscation, taxation, and revenue—by defending and strengthening the President in the great work he is now per forming. They must, above all, be prepared to uphold a vigorous execution of the eman cipation act. This will be the strangling rope of the rebellion. It will remove a great evil from our people, a great blight from their prosperity, and the great cause of treason and war. It will make the American name rc spected and honored where now it is looked upon with suspicion and scorn. MONDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1862. THE WAR The intimation we gave in oar issue of Saturday, that the Army of the West would soon move for ward, has already been fulfilled. The telegraph from Cairo informs us that General Shorman'a corps had marched from Memphis towards Holly Springs,. and simultaneously with this, the main body of General Grant's army had left Lagrange, tiestined for the same place. The supplies, bag gage, and wagons, which do more than anything else to delay an army while it is on the march, have -all been left behind, and the troops will go in •gt light marching order,' ' with nothing with them that is not necessary, to accomplish their ends. It is probable we will not, for several days, hoar of anything definite being accomplished. Our troops are now fairly in the enemy's country, and they will have to go forward with caution and surety. The rebels, who bad crossed the 'Tallahatchie, have precipitately retreated, burning the bridges after them. Our troops will encounter no large body of the rebels much nearer than Grenada. At Holly. Springs it is probable that Generals Grant and Sher 'ntni will form a junction, and jointly move on the former place. The task before these generals is a hard ono, fraught with many dangers and privations, With an army superior to it in nutnbers,.and strong ly ;entrenched in numerous places, it will have to fight itszay until it reaches Jackson, the capital of Mississippi. This place in our possession, we can invent Vicksburg by land, white Commodore Porter's fleet will do the same by water. Bat the fall of Vicksburg will not open the Mississippi, and thus free General Grant's army from further la. hers. There is no doubt but strong entrenchments have been erected between Vicksburg and the ex treme northern point of the Mississippi held by Commodore ragut's fleet, One of the fortifica tions is at Port Hudson and another at Tunica Bend. The most important are at the former place— h eeyiest haft. rice commanding the narrowest pin on the Mississippi, below St. Louis. Of course, these two plsots will be attacked by the gunboats ) but our army will have to be on hand to capture the retreating rebels and to prevent any other forces from retaking them. The obstructions on the. Mississippi river engage a large number of our most valuable gunboats that are needed in other places, and the moment they are relieved it will be hailed es WI joy by every loyalist. The Meeting 'of Conftess The second session of the XXXVIIth Con gress will commence at Washiagion to-day. The National Legislature never assembled at a more trying and trciublous period. It meets in the midst of a war, the beginning of which disturbtd and dirsctcd its former sessions. It may be called the first Congre-s of the Re volution, for although BRECKINRIDGE and Bun itarr have been members, there is no one on its rolls who does not profess to he a loyal man, and ints not renewed his loyalty by an Oath of allegiance. Groat events have trans pired since its members first met tegether. Great campaigns have been fought. We have seen disasters which seemed to be fatal, and out of which we came with renewed and effec tive strength. The failure of the campaign in the Peninsula, culminating in our : defeat at Centreville, and leading to au invasion of Maryland, t nd the many antecedent events that led to it ,• the battle of Anti4.tam, in the East ;'the; battle of Perryville, in the West, (victories with ungatheredfraits;) the appoint ment of >BURNsIDE and ROSEORANS to the armies of Virginia and Tennessee ) together with the great deeds in the South and South west--alt group together orie of the most re markable years of this remarkable age. We shall expect to have all of these events thoroughly reviewed by Congress. We shall then learn the true history of many a myste rious,act. We shall learn how we failed after We had succeeded, and-the country will. know Why it is that, after eighteen months of war, we are now almost in the same position that we occupied when the.war began. The many - acts of the Administration will be reviewed by Congress—its foreign relations— its finance—its war establishment—its efforts to Suppress treason, and to crush the rebellion. The Secretary of State will show the match less diplomacy by whiCh he has thus far Saved -us nom the dangers of foreign in teriention, and when his correspondence with the foreign Powers is printed, it will exhibit a statesmanship which has commanded the admiration and respect of his country, as well as those whose the enemies of his country. -The. Secrety of State has had a hard task before him . . The foreign enemies of the Republic; the representatives of old monarchical sa stems, tyrannies, and despo tisms; the opponents of liberty and progress, have been arrayed'against our cause, and by every method of intrigue and dissimulalioa and fraud.; by misrepresenting the issue and magnifying the troubles our condition of war necessarily compels them to undergo, they have sought to effect the downhill of this na tion. The skill with which the Secretary of State has managed our difficult relations with I these Powers will be shown when his cor respondence is published.; The effect of that skill is seen in our present undisturbed condi tion, and in the failure of France to unite England and Russia in a league againat us. The' report, of the Secretary of the Treasury will possess as great an interest as that of the Secretary of State. That minister has charge of a most delicate and embarrassing depart ment. In times of war credit is the first in terest to suffer. Currency depreciates, and gold hurries into a hiding place, like travellers seeking shelter from the storm. To make capital stable—to make labor remunerative, and at the same lime to so arrange tariffs and tax-bills that the enormous obligations we un dergo shall h, redeemed—to keep armies on foot and navies on the sea—and to supply the ceaseless waste that ensues, as well as th 3 na tural wants that exist, is the duty of a minis ter of the finances in times of war. This has been the duty of our Secretary of the Trea sury, and we think the country and Congress Rill say that he has done this duty well. The ! 'condition of our finances is not as healthy and calm as in times of peace; but when the coun try is in a warsfever NVO cannot expect any part of the system to be free from the affliction. It will compare, however, with that of any country in a period of war. Troubled as we are, our condition is infiaitely better than that of France, when NEIBER'S assignats were used as wall-paper; and that of England, when CA.STLSREAOR'S consols were refused in Lon don at a discoubt of forty per cent. When we speak of the war establishment, the mind naturally reverts to the armies in the field and the generals who command them. The difficulties surrounding the War Depart ment cannot be irnagined. The Ministry of War is,a thankless pesition, and to have the civil 'direction of Military affairs is in most cases to be the most unpopular man in the country. • He never escapes the blame of a de feat, and never btsins the credit of a victory. He merely tutnishes provisions, and clothing, And arms, and shelter. He is not known to the soldiers, except as the cause of every trouble - they undergo. He is looked upon by the officers as nothing more than the obstacle to their advancement. Every biscuit that -is hard, every musket with an imperfection, every coat that meets an untimely rent, is at tributed to the special negligence or animosity Of a Secretary of War. A large part of the community _firmly believe that the sole ob ject of the Secretary of War has been to prevent the soldiers from having shoes and clothing so that their generals could not move them on to victory; and we shall no doubt find that absurd and wicked feeling slightly repre tented in this Congress. The Secretary of War, however, can present, in reply to an who denounce or disparage him, one of the most 'brilliant records in our history. He will show that he has never refused a biscuit, a shoe, or gun; that be has never dishonored or post :Toned a just requisition; that he has so ma staged the intricate details of his Department that no party , has ever complained of injustice, and so disbursed the millions at his command that not a shadow of suspicion has ever dark ened his integrity. The Secretary of the Navy will show that the Administration has been as busy on sun as it has been on land. Building a navy is a tedious and laborious task; and the Navy Paper ment has been the subject of im .patient and ungenerous criticism. Ships can not be built in a day, a week, or a month. Timber must b.. hewn - and seasoned; iron must ; .be .tsken the earth and wrought into shape; time a d lab ir must bessiven. That, the ecretary of the Navy has done his duty Cotton; Currency, and Corti. Thirty odd years ago, with the Catholics un emancipated, the currency constantly liable to be affected by over-issues of paper money by bankers who had more confidence than capital, and the people sometimes onthe verge of star vation, because the importationof foreign corn was prohibited, except on payment of a heavy duty, the constant topics of public discussion in - England were Cash, Corn, and Catholics. All is changed now. Banking is now upon a sound system, in England, though, every now and then, a criminal banker appears at the bar of the Old Bailey, and soon after visits a ri,s mote penal colony, at the public expense. The duties upon imported grain have been re duced to the nominal amount of twenty-four cents a quarter. The Catholics have political equality with their fellow-subjects. Still,new topics succeed the old—Cotton, Currency, and Corn being the new list. All three are connected. The want of Cot ton, which want has already made the fortune of many of the manufacturers, has affected four millions of human beings in England and Scotland, and driven several hundred thou sands of them into compulsory idleness— whence comes the want of food, which we call famine, and the afflictive ailments which are induced by starvation. The want of work creates the want of food, and the miserable operatives of Lancashire are about as badly off, from poverty and the ills which follow in its train, as ever the Irish were in the worst days of 1847-48. This distress, and the want of cotton, has raised the price of specie here as Well as in Europe—for silver and gold, as ar ticles of commerce, are as much influenced by external ciri.umstances as any other commo dity that is bought and sold, or exchanged for equivalent value, which amounts to the same. In a smaller degree, but still sufficiently large to cause great alarm in Limn - troll's mind, the cotton famine is creating distress and discon tent in various districts of France, where the cotlon-manufacture was established. Hence NAPOLEON'S imprudent suggestion to obtain a surply, by opening the Southern ports during a six months' armistice. He has cause to dread such a dynasty-chang,ing movement as an insurrection of the working-classes for food. • Something Strange. It is possible, after all, that Lord RUSSELL was in earnest when he declined NAPOLEON'S pressing invitation to ask the. United States to a "six months' armistice. Possible—be cause The Times confessed;that such an armi stice would strengthen the South and tie up the right arm ofthe North ; possible, also, be cause Punch, published immediately after the appearance of Dagen; ISE despatch and RUSSELL'S response, -actually has not one word in favor of the. Rebellion or against the Union—there is a short paragraph about t(the venerable G-en. &arm," but it is wholly, inoffensive. This silence of Punch. is Signifi cant, and can scarcely be accidental. The present cue, perhaps, is not to abuse America and the Anatricans. LETTER FROM "OCCASIONAL." WASHINGTON, Nov. 30, 18132. -I had just finished the reading of a paper, beautifully printed in Boston, read before the Massachusetts Historical Society in August last, by George Livermore, Esq., and dedi cated to a historical research "Respecting the Opinions of the Founders of the Republic on Negroes as Slaves, as Citizens, and as Soldiers," when my attention was called to the reports of the recent engagements near. Beaufort, S. C., between the colored troops, in command of white officers of the U. S. Army, and the rebels, among whom were many of• the masters of these recent slaves. There is nothing like a practical truth, to con firm a wise ur'n's judgment, or to refute the prejudice or the fool. Mr.'Livermore, afier great labor and conscientious investigation, proves in the latter part of his paper—which' is, in fact, a volume of 215 pages—that the ex periment of employing negroes in the Revolu tionary War, and in the second, war with England, was successfully tried ; and that, in the first conflict, it was resorted to with almost equal advantage bythe. British and the Amieri . can generals. I have neither time nor space to repeat the arguments and authorities of this learned inquirer—that is a task I refer to my good friend, Dr. Shelton Mack enzie, in any one of his forthcomingg reviews for THE PRESS. He will find Mr. Livermore's publication worthy of patient and careful study. Among the reasons urged against the employment of negroes, there is, one which has done the greatest mischief in the North, and, strange to say, in quarters where such a prejudice should never hive been tolerated— I mean, that the white defenders of the flag would not serve with colored men, ready to sacrifice themselves for the Republic. It is a little curious that this prejudice should ex ist among those who, are perfectly willing to use the negro to carry burdens in the army, to build fortifications, to cook and to wait, and in civil life to help to extinguish fires, or to act as nurses in hospitals and elsewhere, and yet, when a. thousand colored men, animated by the true spirit of love of country, are sug gested in some political speech as ready to take the place of a thousand Irishmen, and to oppose the rebel hordes, we have such men as Francis W. Hughes, who declare • that the negro will not only not fight, bat that no Irish man should serve in a regiment in which De grees are employed. -Mr. Livermore's pamph let is confirmed and vindicated by the results in South Carolina, not to quote other recent cases. It has never been suggested, either by General Cameron, in his report as Secretary of War, or by the many who now follow his doctrine, that the negro should be employed in the army side by aide with the white, and this is as- well known to-day as when the outcry was raised against the ex-Secre tary of War. Nobody ever proposed that a white man should hive any nearer rela tier?, to a negro in the army than he would have in connection with such a man in at tempting to save the life of a fellow-being. It seems to me that the fact of leading the ne green to fight in Sonth Carolina, and their courage and enthusiasm, should .not deprive the white men- who so led them of the full credit of being brave themselves, and of being bravely followed. Major General Hunter, the old regular officer, who dared to go - outside "or the proprieties of that school- - which believes that while it wears , the uniform of the country it has no right to discuss the im n ease philosophical questions involved in the war, (, acept now and then to attack ithe Black Republicans end Abolitionists,) will, probably read Mr. Livermore's pamphlet, punctuated and emphasised by the courage of the negroes Deer Beaufort, with a kind of grim stitHac. t ion. Measles/4J.. News of Literature There appears to be no look of spirit or industry on 'the part of authors and publishers, in'spite of the dePressing inflaences oUthe time.

" ' GENERAL 110VEY, with about sixteen thousand men, sixteen transports, and, one gunboat, left Relena, on the 16th, for an expedition to Little Rock, Arkansas. It was reported that there had been a rise in the White rivir, and that all was favorable to the success of the enterprise. The troops were landed at the mouth of the river, on the 18th, but owing to the.low stage of the water were compelled to re•embark' and return, which they did on ,the 21st. The expedition has been fruitless of immediate results. GENERAL McNEIL, so impudently demanded by Jeff Davie, is in the State mint:a service.

She is a daughter of George McGlare, soldier in Butler Price's regimott,.2d Pennsylvania CavairT, end lived at No. 995 North Second street, above Filer, in the Nineteenth ward. About a fortnight since, on the afternoon upon which the accident occurred, the little girl was picking up coal upon a lot near Clin ton and Putnam streets. A little colored boy, ab4ut nine years old. named David Polk, was engaged hard by in making bonfires, and '• slaving soldier," Polk acting es captain. A quantity of cotton waste had been thrown upon the lot from a neighboring mill For want cf turns thing better to do, the boy P. lk stuck some of this non the ad of hie sword, eat fire to it, and then, follow:d by his companions, charged upon the defeneelesslittle chi. In doing this the boy set fire to her clothing at the back of the neck. Sheimmediately started up and ran screaming down Clinton etreet Some German women therd, see ing her In such a fesiful condition, endeavored to their utmost to extinguish the fire. They threw buckets of water overthe unfortunate chi d, need their wet trooms, end only succeeded at last by rolling her in the gutter. They then lock her to her borne, whore she has since been gratuitously attended by Dr. J. L. BM. Upon exami nation, she has been found to be Injured in the most shocking manner. Her right_arm from the shoulder to tee wrist is burnt to the bone, and underneath the arm the ravages of the fire appear to have entered to the very vitals. Along the back, from the neck to the waist, the spine is laid bate. The lege also are terribly burnt. That the child etill survives is a wonder, and affords a roost astonishing instance cf tenacity of life. The suf ferings of this little unfortunate are tortures beyond deecrip'ion. Her screams of agony and the hornets sight huff stir the heart of sympathy up from its inmost depths. Although very much has been done to alleviate her auffetings, she is by no means out of danger. The attention of the benevolent is most urgently needed In this direction. The bleOlure family aro very poor, George McClure, the father, having received no money from the Government for four months.

CRIMINAL COURT PROCEEDINOS.-011 Saturday, in the Court of Quarter Sessions, before Judge Ludlow, several cases were beard on write of habeas course. The case of Chauncey Johnson, charged with the larceny of $2,000 from the Girard Bank, was among, those that Wore beard. From_the evidence, it wins that myth. dents - drihipiesent month the receiving teller of the Girard Back found, at four o'clock, that his accounts were short $2,000. The books ware carefully examined, with a view to discover if any mistake had been made, but without success, and the bank officers concluded that the money bad been stolen. Oa the 17th Chauncey Johnson was arrested, and upOn his person wee found $2,704.79.4 The officers of the bank saw him at the Central Station, and the receiving teller and his sealant at once recog nized him as a man they bad noticed prowling shoat the hank.= the day the money was lost. His movements ex citedsuspiclon, instemuch as he was seen to look over the railing which separated the tellers from the pab'io room. Among the notes found on his pinion was one having written upon, its face the figures "95,' and those figures were identified by the assistant teller as in his hand. writing, and the witness described by what process this notation came" to be made. When the .notea aro re ceived in the bank they are eeparated and arranged in piles of sale thou mod dollars each. If the amount on hand does not reach $l,OOO, to save the necessity of re counting, the amount is marked on the top note, and the $l,OOO la subsequently made up by additions, and thus the "95" represented that the note was the top one of a pile containing $950. Under this statement of facts the court concluded that the accused should go before a jury.

In great cities, however, where the organ is touched by a per. former of genius ; and one who cultivates the spirit of the devotion, the union of the instrument with the voices of a well•iesiructed congregation, form a scene of grand atd unaffected piety. When a set of ignorant people form themselves into a choir, and engage to do the sing hag exclusively, the impotent vanity of those who sing is Equivalent - only to the ignorant wonder of those who listen, Poor old Bternhold Hopkins has farnialied a sub• jest of entire to Pope, the poet, speakisg of psalm singing in country churches t 4 Bow could devotion touch the country paws, Unless the gods bestowed a proper muse I The stienct d preachir yields to potent strain, And feels that grace his prayer besought in vain; The blessingthriils through alt theneighboring throng, _And heaven is won by vhlence of sone, UNITED E TATES SANITARY COMMIS • slON.—cate6 Cope, troaanror of tho.
