THE WAR POWER.
The war power is still our main reliance,
go the President said, after proposing to
the country a plan for the restoration of
peace, and offering pardon to the people
of the South. Unquestionably he is right.
The success of the war is understood to be
the groundwork of any plan for such a
peace as we require, and until the war
power has, overthrown the armies of the
rebellion it will be impossible forthose who
are desirous of accepting the magnanimous
offer of the President to make their wishes
known AH proposals of peace and pledges of
pardon must be preceded by a victorious
army. Our Generals are our best ambassa
dors to the people we wish to reclaim, and
where they fail our Statesmen cannot suc
ceed. These people are, in respect to the
proclamation of pardon, precisely as the
slaves are to the proclamation of emancipa
tion: they dare not accept it without gain
ing the assurance that the United States
wHI protect them from the vengeance of.
the enemy. 'Within the lines of tho Union
army thousands of former Secessionists are
eager to take the oath of allegiance, and
prove by their actions the sincerity of their
repentance. Beyond those lines no sign of
loyalty is given, fetched is the South
erner who, being indhe power of the usur
pation of Mr. Davis, dares to express wil
lingness to accept the offer of the President.
Therefore, a paradox easily understood, we
must conquer the" South to free the South;
we must make the war power out main reli
ance in working for a permanent peace.
The phantom of Peace, holding-in her hand
the delusion of a compromise, must not be
pursued, for it leads to the reality of pro
longed and fierce war. Peace, when it
comes to this nation, will be in the form of
a United States soldier, resting on his mus
ket, In the capitol of Richmond.
Now that we have read the noble mes
sage of the President and studied his plan
of restoration ;.now that we have examined
the official history of the past year, we can
better understand the work before us. We
can clearly see that ail measures concen
trate in one object—the strengthening of
the war power,, 'lf Congress authorized a
conscription, it was to increase our armies;'
if it authorized the creation of a national debt,
it was to sustain those armies ; if it gave
to the President extraordinary powers du
ring the war, it was that he might use those
armies with more energy; if we have sub
mitted to taxation, before the rebellion un
known to us, to the loss of'our friends and
relatives in battle, to the draft, cheerfully
accepting these misfortunes and incon
veniences, it is solely because we wish
to strengthen the war power. We have
abandoned all hope that is not em
bodied in war; we have scouted the
suggestion that or compro
mise fthese are indeed the samej) could
bring us peace ; our voice is still for war,
and for the waT of the giants—for waT, with
its thousand battles and shaking an hundred
thrones ; for the greatest of all wars, if that
be necessary, so that in the future we shall
have the purest and profoundest peace. We
bave accepted the Napoleonic maxim that
Providence is on the side of the heaviest
artillery; not irreverently, but from a con
viction that Providence will always take
care to give the heaviest artillery to the
side which is right. It follows that in sim
ple consistency we should cast as many guns
as we can pay for.
A nation so thoroughly dependent upon
war as this nation now is, cannot afford to
■wage war upon any scale less than Titanic.
Two thousands of millions of dollars will
cheaply purchase peace, and maintain a
,Kepuhlic>worth millions of millions. No
sacrifice of life can he too great if victory is
obtained by it. The grave of every loyal
soldier is an argument , for still mightier
war, for vainly have our heroes fallen if'
the battle they nobly begun is meanly
ended. So largely has the nation in
vested in the war, that it is ruined if it
abandons the enterprise. And if we fail, to
what depth do we fall ? Our national de
gradation will be greater than our
national glory ; our shame will be perpetual;
our, ruin irretrievable; the sceptre of the
continent will have passed from the hands
of its inhabitants. Europe will govern
America; the destiny of the New World
■will be controlled by the despotism of the
-Old. It is impossible to exaggerate the uni
versal evil of failure in this war, and, there-
fore, impossible to strive too earnestly for
success. Let [the people of America look,
then, to their armies. The war power of the
■Government is the strength of the nation,
and to increase it hy men, money,, and mea
sures, is to legislate for freedom and build
upon enduring foundations the temple of
perpetual peace.
Quota.
A despatch published in our columns yes
te'day, announced that the War Depart
ment had declined to adopt the suggestion
made by Governor Cuktin, some weeks
ago, “ upon the subject of recruiting.” Of
tbe precise nature of this suggestion, proba
bly the Government alone is aware. It is
sufficient for us to know that, in general,
it was designed to obviate the necessity of
anothendraft in this State; and that having,
no doubt, for sufficient cause, failed to be
approved, the necessity of taking .prompt
measures for supplying our quota hy the
fifth of January next, becomes now more
pressing than ever. So far as Philadel
phia is concerned, there can be no
question, that this may still be accom
plished, if proper measures are taken;
although had our people bestirred them
selves sooner, the work would have been
accomplished much more readily, and not
one half of the difficulties which now in
vest it would have been encountered. Al
though there has been no official announce
ment of the city’s quota, it is generally esti
mated that we have to raise about five thou
sand troops, and there is no good reason
why the thing should not be done. Coun
cils have adopted an ordinance to pay $350
bounty to each man credited to the city on
the last levy, and it is presumed that Mayor
Heney will sigh the bi.il If, with this jn
ducement to enlist, the requisite number of
volunteers shall still fail to be forthcoming,
ward meetings should he held, and another
bounty fund should he raised by individual
contribution. ' The Twenty-fourth ward,
where the foot-ways are never paved, and
where the people can never get any water,
to drink, has nevertheless shown itself to be
the most patriotic ward in the city in this
matter of responding to the call of the Go
vernment. The citizens held a meeting a
few evenings ago, and Tesolved to take such
measures as to render a draft in the ward
unnecessary. This is the right way, and,
after all, the most economical way to go to
work; and, if the quota of the city cannot
he otherwise raised, then other wards should
follow the example of the Twenty-fourth.
European Altairs.
The affairs of Europe are becoming com
v plicated.' The sudden death of the King of
Denmark has added to the trouble. Dying
-without any near relation to succeed him,
.his crown has been assumed. by Prince,
OniuSTiAK, (father of the Princess of
"Wales and pf the new King of Greece ,)
•who really is a German, not a Danish prince,
but was selected by several of the loading
Powers, eleven years ago, to be heir-pre
•sumptive,—-though the Danish Legislature
• took two yeaTS to consent to the nomination.
The new King, it appears, has been; coldly
accepted by “his subjects” in Copenhagen,
many of the public functionaries there hav
ing declined to swear allegiance to him.
Under the patronage of the Duke of Saxe-
Coburg.Gotha, cousin and brother-in-law to
Queen Victoria, the Prince of Augustem
burg claims the succession to the duchy of
Schleswig-Holstein, hitherto belonging to
JDehmafk, and it is more than probable that
this will have to be decided by resort to
arms. England’s difficulty will be great: —
is she to support King Christian, of Den
mark, whose nomination she assisted to
obtain twelve years ago, and whose fair
daughter will one day he Queen-Consort of
Great Britain, or will she side with the
Grand-Duke of Saxe- Coburg, who wishes
to curtail the dominions of Denmark, by
taking a,way the Duchy of Schleswig-Hol
stein ?
It seems to have been decided by the Bri
tish Cabinet, after much deliberation, that
England lias notified to France a refusal to
assist in the Congress proposed by the Em
peror Napoleon. It is declared that Aus
tria positively declines participating in this
gathering of sovereigns, and that Russia
has requested a programme of the subjects
to be discussed, with a conditional promise
to assist.-after peace shall have been restored,
by the submission or subjection of Poland—
cither contingency, it is obvious, being ap
parently rather remote. The other great
Powers are not unwilling to go into this
Congress, the actual object of which is to
form a new partnership, as it were; and, on
the new agreement being formally “sighed,
sealed, and delivered,” to tear in two the
Viennese Treaty of 1815, by which the Bo
naparte family were placed under the ban
of Europe. It is as if a man who had be
come rich and respectable should seek to
have his conviction and sentence, as a lar
cenist or burglar, expunged or obliterated.
The political events of the last thirty-five,
years have so changed the boundaries of
many States, that a new political map of
Europe may be necessary.
It may be suspected that, if any other
man than Earl Russell were Foreign
Minister now, England would not refuse
to assist in the new Congress of Paris.
But, in case of acquiescence, Earl Rus
sell would claim, as a right, to be En
gland’s representative there, against which
two objections might be made, that he
made a great failure, as political negotiator
at Vienna, in 1855, and that he has the
disadvantage of being unable to speak or
write French, the language which -will be
used by every one at the Congress.
The proximate retirement of Earl Rus
sell, lately reported as probable, is now
denied. Eis colleagues will not be averse
to his remaining in office until after Par
liament has had a discussion, and pro
nounced on opinion upon his policy, as
regards Poland, Denmark, and Japan.
Lord Russell is tenacious of office, relish
ing its dignity, pocketing its emoluments,
and dispensing its patronage. He has
been allowed cord enough since last July,
and the usual result will soon be apparent.
Palmerston, who was turned-out of office
by him at Christmas, 1851, cannot have
much affection for Earl Russell, and, it
may well be believed, would not break his
heart if this minikin Minister were ejected
from office; but Palmerston will let events
gravitate to their own result.
It is gratifying that the military sum
mary of the Commander-in-Chief is, upon
the "whole, a summary of victory. General
Hahleck’s report is a complete history of a
year of successful war, in-which defeat seems
to be but the shadow which' lends greater
brilliancy to triumph. It is simply and vi
gorously written, and will be read with pride
at the North, with interest abroad, and with
feelings of humiliation by all enemies of the
Union. Owing to the crowded state of our
columns, and the fact that the report is not
news, but a record, we defer its publication
till Monday.
The Sunday Moening Times is the title
of a new and. neat-looking quarto newspa
per, the first number of which made its ap
pearance on Sunday last. Although scarce
ly a specimen of what the new journal is to
be, either in typographical appearance or
in literary character, the number before us,
is creditable to the enterprise and taste of
the publishers. As to the aim of the paper,
the prospectus simply tells us that “ The
design is to furnish a literary and commer
cial newspaper., It will take no part in
politics, but will not; therefore, he silent
upon the political issues of the day. When
it does speak, it will be without the fear or
favor of any party or clique.” This is
brief, but comprehensive enough for every
purpose. A feature of much merit, how
ever, which has hitherto been allotted little
prominence by the Sunday press, is the at
tention and space devoted to religious
topics ; while in religion as in politics, it is
to be presumed that the Times will maintain
its independence of any special sect or
creed. There is room, enough in the
crowded field of Sunday journalism for a
high-toned newspaper, founded upon such
catholic and comprehensive principles, and
in giving welcome to the Times, we cannot
help wishing it a degree ot success com
mensurate with the laudable nature of the
career upon which it has embarked.
In Common Council, on Thursday after
noon, the.solemnity ot the proceedings was
somewhat disturbed by Mr. Leigh, who
submitted an ordinance “in place,” so our
reports say, “making it unlawful to walk,
slide, or skate on the Schuylkill river, when
frozen, between Fairmount Water Works
and the Falls, until the ice shall have be
come three inches: thick.” We think the
ordinance entirely out of place ; and, more
over, one of the smallest things on ice we
ever heard of. We may next expect to
hear of an ordinance “ making it unlawful
"to walk, slide, or skate on the Schuylkill
river,' between Fairmount Water Works
and the Falls, until there is sufficient evi
dence before the chamber that said river is
really frozen over.” It would be just as
reasonable.
General Grant on the Corner-stone of the
Rebellion.— The following extract of a private
letter of General Grant to the Hon E. B. WAsh
burne, dated August 13,1863, seta at rest the question
of veracity raised by the Herald with Senator Wil
son, who gave .the substance, without giving the *
exact language, of it in a recent speech: -
u The people of the. North need not quarrel over
the institution of slavery. What Vice President
Stevens acknowledges as the corner-atone of the
Confederacy is already knocked out. Slavery Is
already dead, and cannot be resurrected. It would j
take a standing army to maintain slavery in the =
South if we were to make peace to* day guarantee- ;
lug to the South all their former constitutional pri- '
vileges. I never was an Abolitionist, not even what ’
would be called anti-slavery, but I try to judge fairly s
and honestly, and it became patent to my mind ;
early in the rebellion that the North and South ■
could never live ait peace with each other except as '
one nation, and that without slavery. As anxious !
sh Lam to see peace established, I would not. there- ;
fore, he willing to see any settlement until this •
question is forever settled.”
Old Franklin Almanac.— With his wonted
regularity Mr: A. Winch has published the Old
Franklin Almanac. This issue is for 1864, which is
leap-year, when the ladies have the privilege of pro
posing, matrimonially, to baohelor gentlemen.
sides a calendar, a great deal of useful information,
general and local, is given here, with a full chronicle
of the great rebellion against the’Unlted States*
down to the middle of October, 1863. We have de
tected two errors in this AlmanaoPrince Frede
rick* Ferdinand, uncle to King Frederic VET, being
set down as heir-apparent,to the crown of Denmark,
whereas he died some months. Ago, leaving Prince*
Christian (now King) heir-presumptive. Under the
head of Wurtemberg, two princesses are named;
but the Prince Royal, next heir to the crown, and
their only brother, is not named.
Public Entertainments,
Italian Opeba.—“Martha” will be Bung this
evening, with Mißo Kellogg as the heroine of that
delightful escapade into the Richmond fair. We
are not satisfied with the infrequency of thiß lady’a
appearances. Her remarkable abilities, aslvooalis 1
and actress, deserve a large opportunity. Her voice
is singularly pure and sweet, and in few respects is
sbe excelled by any member of this company.
In “ Martha” Miss Kellogg is charming, but before
the season ends we trust to hear her in musio of a
higher order. The rcßt of the cast is verygoodi
with Madame Sulzer, Siguors Biachi, and Lotti,
who achieved his greatest success as Lionel , and
sings It with much sweetness. -
We must compliment the gentleman who writes
the play-bills for the Academy on his oommand of
the English language. He has three words at his
disposal—“grand,” “splendid,” and “great.” He
makes the most of them. Every opera produced has
been pronounced by him “most popular,” every
performance has been “grand and extraordinary,”
and every cast is unprecedentedly great.” Where
is Spangler, the national poet of America 1
New Chestnut, ETUEirr Thkatkk.—This eve
ning Miss Johanna Claussen will make her second
appearance as Polvame , in the “ Child of Nature,”. a
new three-act comedy. The great success-which
gieeted the first presentation of this piece warrants
the conclusion that the Chestnut will be even more
crowded this evening than on that occasion.
The Gbeat National Circus.—Quite a num
ber of -new performers have been added to the great
National Troupe, now performing in Market street,
above Twelfth. On Monday evening a new after
piece, under the superintendence of Mr.N. Austin,
the popular clown, will be produced for the first,
time in America. The programme of entertain
ment is often varied, and all times rich in olassio
sports and pastimes. The troupe has become im
mensely popular, and bids-fair to continue so. The
matlndes on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons
arc always attended with happy children. Since
the opening 6,840 oblldrea have been present; there
are many thousands more in our city who ought at
least have one or two views of the great and daz
zling performances.

the immense Inland traffic, all the railroads from
Wilmington are at work night and day, to the ex
clusion of all other business, conveying supplies to
the rebel army, and goods into the Interior.
Over 200 steamers and vessels belonging to differ

MESSAGE OF JEFFERSON RAFIS.
Failure ill the Rebel Finances and Fo
reign Relations.
FURTHER TAXATION RECOMMENDED
The People Called -to the
Fortress Monroe, Deo. 11.— Jeff. Davis’s mes
sage to the rebel Congress, dated December 7th, in
desponding over the logeea of the N strongholds of
Vicksburg, Port Hudson, and many other points.
He says that “there are no improvements in the
relations w ith foreign countries since his message
of last January. On the contrary, there is a greater
divergence in the conduct of European nations, as
suming a character positively unfriendly,and a mark
ed partiality by Great Britain in favor of our ene
mies is strongly evinced in their decisions regard
ing the blockade, as well as their marked difference
of conduct on the subject of the purchase of sup
plies by the two belligerents,. This difference lias
been conspicuous since the commencement of the
war.”
The public finances demand the strictest and most
earnest attention. A prompt and efficacious remedy
for the present condition of the ourrenoy is necessa
ry to a successful performance of the administration
of the Government.
He recommends taxation instead of further sales
of bonds or issues of treasury notes. The holders
of the currency now outstanding can only be pro
tected by substituting for them some other security.
The currency must be promptly reduced to prevent
the present inflated priocs reaching rates more ex
travagant.
He calls upon the people to come to the rescue.
He recommends putting tin end to substitution, and
a modification of the exemption law, and to add
forces to their army largely and as promptly as pos
sible.' He regretß the suspension of the exchange
of prisoners, and that the communication with the
trans-Mississippi region is bo obstructed as to ren
der difficult the complying with the legislation
vesting the authority over it in the Executive of
the Government, The enemy refuse the proposals
for the only peaoe that is possible between us, and
the only hope for peace now is in the vigor of our
resistance. *
The Steamer* Chesapeake—Rumors of her
New York, Dec. 11.—Rumors are afloat that the
steamer Chesapeake has been burned, and the pi
rates have landed at some place near Halifax. The
report that her cargo was shipped by Southern
agents here, to run the blockade, is false. All the
consignees are well known to the owners of the
vessel, and are regular shippers on that route.
Portland, Dec. 11.—The agents of the,steamer
Chesapeake here have evidence th&t her cargo was
owned exclusively by American and Canadian mer„
chants, and that it was not intended to run the
blockade. Neither had she ever been a Southern vea*
sel, or attempted to run the blockade.
The collector at Eastport telegraphs to the col
lector of Portland that Mr, Kill&n left Publico
(which is ten miles south of Yarmouth) last Mon
day, and that three French vessels laden with coal
were lying in the harbor.
The gunboat Acacia is still leaking, and will be
haulsd up for examination.
Portland, Dec. 11.-— I The U. S;'vice consul at
Halifax telegraphs to ©olleotor Waahburne that
there is a steamer in Shelbourne answering the de
scription of the Chesapeake. She attempted to coal
at Halifax last night. The Government was ap
plied to, but no encouragement was given, for want
of evidence of murder having been committed. An

undoubtedly in pursuit of the pirate. Both were
side-wheel steamers. He also reportß that all the
persons engaged in the capture of the Chesapeake
passed from St. Johns to Boston on the steamer

A Virginia Family Scene-
"While on our recent march the 2d Corps and the
3d division of the 6th Corps halted on Sunday, the
29th, thirteen miles from Orange Court House, for
the night, and I improved the opportunity to visit a
log house, which stood in full range of the enemy’s
gunB,~tfnd over whose lonely roof the solid Bhofc
hummed, and the ugly shell screeched as they tore
through the air on their-errands of death. Upon
knocking at the door of the gloomy habitation,
which had a deseited appearance, I was met by a
trembling youth of fifteen years, who stood motion-
Jess and pale as a ghost at the side of a terrified and
weeping group of children. Entering the door, I
found a clean aijd tidy, but comfortless and poverty*
stricken apartment, whose furniture consisted of an
ancient loom, draped in cobwebs and covered with
"dust, a speakibg picture of the sad changes of war,
whose harsh tones had silenced the hum of the im
plements of peace, and beat the ploughshare into
the sharp sword of death. An old bedstead, covered
with clean comforters, a silent clock which refused
to tick, an old looking-glass, half a dozen antique
. chairs, whose venerable forms carried one back to
the time of the Pilgrim Fathers, with a barrel, arid
a few primitive cooking utensils, completed the
stockof earthly goods within this cheerless dwelling.
One email window of four Danes of glass emitted a
feeble, gloomy light, too weak to penetrate to all
the corners of the room. The rough-newn logs were
cemented with clay, or, more properly speaking,
Virginia mud, and the interior was whitewashed.
I found the tears coursing down ,the cheeks of
eight orphans, two boys and six girls, ranging in age
from five to twenty- two years. Tne three youngest
were barefooted, and the eldest girl informed met
that they had never worn any shoes, After I had ?
quieted their rears as much as possible,
General W. D. Terry, commanding 3d Division-Gtb
Corps, came in, and. upon beholding destitute
condition, be very humanely ordered Captain Davis, 1
his efficient provost marshal, to place & strong guard:
around the house, and not allow a rail or any por
tion of the property to be disturbed. He generously
detailed several men to chop a quantity of wood-for
the uee or the family, and our soldiers volunteered
to do it freely, when they learned of the deplorable,
situation of the family. While oitting there before
the leg-fire, which burned; brightly on the- open
hearth, casting it* weird-like shadows on the wall,
we ventured to ask some questions, as usual with
Yankees, whose inquisitive bump is acknowledged
tojbe considerably larger than the rest of the human
family. •
. Not a book or newspaper could be Been, and . upon
inquiry we ; learn that not one of the farailycould
read or write. We asked them how they managed .
to occupy their time, and were told in
sewing. Not one of the family knew what we me’aat
by the American flag, and not till I pulled from my
coat pocket a small illuminated almanac, adorned
with the St&ia ancl Stripes, had they ever beheld the
emblem of th&ir couatry. The eldest boy of fifteen/
who performed all the hard lahor ’of the smaiffaraxr
of thirty acres, had never seen a locomotive, and did
not what a lemon was. When asked if they ever
heard of a God, they-replied they hsti—but nono
could tell where He was. Meat they had not
tasted of any kind for two months. "Tea, coffes,
butter, (rice, sugar, and molasses they had not
tasted for over two years. George? Washington
they never heard of until we informed them.
As the family huddled together in one corner of
the room, gazing at the strange and war-like group
around them, while the artillery hoarsely boomed,
and the musketry along our picket lines rattled, it
was a tableaux whose dismal shades tinted the
steeled hearts present with compassion and deep
pity. More than one “Yankee” eye glistened with
the moisture of the briny tear, which unnoticed
stole slowly down from the windows of the soul. A
tomt-like arlencß prevailed for a moment or two,
broken only by the soba of, the terrified children and
the peal of the enemy’s cannon.
The mother had been dead two years, and the
father had been conscripted into the rebel army,
where disease overtook him and ! laid him in his
grave. The next morning at daylight we broke
camp and resumed ourmaroh. Before leaving, Gen.
Terry and Captain Tilley, quartermaster of, his divi
sion, gave the family $lOO in payment for a few split
rails which our troops had burned.

CoMen’s Speech on American and Brit
tisti Affairs-
At Rochdale, England, on the 24th November,
Mr. Cobden, the distinguished free-trade and anti
slavery statesman, made an important speech. We
extract the following interesting passages:
THR FALSE PRETENCES OF THE REBELS.
I travelled in the United States in 1859, the year
before that fatal'shot was fired at Fort Sumpter
which has had such terrible reverberations ever
since. I visited Washington during the session of
CorgreEs. Now I carry a flag wherever I go when
1 travel abroad, whether in France, America, Aub
triaVor Russia. lat once become the oentre of all
those who have strong convictions and purposes
with reference to free-trade principles. [Hear,
hear.] While I was at Washington I was disap
pointed at finding there was so little interest felt on
the free-trade question. There was no party formed,
no public agitation, no discussion whatever upon the
subject. The ground, the political field, was wholly
occupied by one question, and that question was
slavery'. [Hear, hear.] I will mention an illustrative
tact which I hasfe not jseen referred to/ and to my
mind it is conclusive on this subject. In Decem
ber, 1860, when Uongreas was sitting, and when the
country was in the agony of suspense, fearing this
inspending rupture, Congress appointed a commit
tree, consisting of thirty-three members, being a re
presentative from every State then in the Union,
and that committee sat from December 11, 1860, to
January 14, 1661. It was called the Committee of
Thirty-three, and was instructed to inquire into the
perilous state of the Union, and to try and devise'
some means by which the catastrophe of Secession
could be averted. I have a report of the proceed
ings of that committee. I believe there is not an
other report in this'eountry; I have reason to know
so. There are forty pages. I nave read every line.
The representative* of the slave States were invited
by the. representatives of the free States to state
candidly; and frankly what were the terms which ,
they required in older that they might continue
I peaceably in the Union, and in every page you see
1 ibeir propositions brought forward
From beglnning to end of these forty pages there
is not one syllable said about tariff or taxation.
- [Cheers.] From beginning to end there: is not a
grievance alleged but that which is connected with
the maintenance of slavery. There are propositions
calling upon the North to give increased security
to the maintenanc eof that institution. They are
invited to extend the area ofßlavery, to make laws
by which’ fugitive slaves shall be given up. They
' are pressed to make treaties with foreign Powers by
which those Powers should be required to give up
: slaves. But from beginning to end no grievance
was alleged but what is connected with slavery.
; [Hear, hear.] It is slavery, slavery, slavery, from
; beginning to end. [Hear, hear.]
KAGOSIMA.
Do you suppose that the Almighty has given
to this country, or any other country, the power
and the responsibility of regulating the affairs \or
•remedying: the evils •- of other countries 3- [Hear,
hear.] No; we have not set a sufficiently pure
example to be entitled to claim that power. [Hear,
hear.] When ! see that Russia is burning Polish
villages, I am restrained from even reproaching
them for it, beoause I am afraid they will point
Japanwards, and scream in my ear “Kagosima!”
tpheers]
■ILLITERATE CHARACTER OF THE ENGLISH PEA-
SAN TRY.
• I have travelled in most civilized countries, and
I say that the mass of the people in this country
don’t compare favorably with the mass of the people
in other countries as I should wish. I find in other
countries a greater number of people with property
than there are in England. I don’t know a Protest
ant- country in the world where the mass of the peo
ple are bo illiterate as the mas* of the people in
England.; These are not bad tests of the condition
of the people. It is no use talking of jftur army
or navy, or your exports or imports; it is no use
telling me tbata small portion of the people are ex
ceedingly well off. I want to bring the test to a
comparison of the majority of the people of this
country against tbe majority of any other country.
t say iTj with some knowledge of foreign countries,
that we don’t compare favorably in that way. The
English peasantry hSßnota parallel on the face of
theearth. I know no other peasantry but that of
rEnglafid which is entirely divorced from the land.
There is no other country in the world where you
will not find men holding the plough and turning up
the furrow of their own freehold. You will not find
that in England. I don’t want any.revolution or
agrarian outrages to change this.* But I find that
wherever I go the co&dition of the people is apt
generally to be pretty much in accordance with, the
power they have to take care of themselves. If you
have a country, where the people have no political
power and another country where they have, they
will be treated with more consideration, will have
greater advantages; .will be better educated, and
will have a better chance of obtaining property in
the latter care than in a country where they nave no
chance of having the political franchise.
“an ugly rush.”
You have placed the governing masses of this
country in the wrong for all future time if you don’t
fulfil those pledges; and some day or other you will
be obliged to yield to clamor what I think you
ought to do in sound statesmanship voluntarily,
tranquilly, and in proper season. [Cheers.] If you
exolude to the present extent the masses of the peo
ple from the franchise, you are always running the
risk of what a sagacious old conservative statesman
once said in the House: “I am afraid we shall
have an ugly rush some day.” [Laughter.] I want
to avoid that “ugly rush.” [Cheers ] I would
rather do it gradually an<l, tranquilly. All this will
be done by the people out of doors, and not by Par
liament ; and it would be folly for you to expect
anybody in the House of Commons to take a single
step in the direction of any reform until there is a
ffeat desire and disposition manifested for it out of
oors. When that day comes, you will not want
your champions in the House of Commons. [Hear,
hear.] - . ' ■
( Female Smuhgleks.— The prov&st marshal of
Memphis, Tennessee, some days since had in cus
tody several ladies, some of apparent respectability,
suspected of having been engaged in smuggling
goods into the Confederacy, Some strange develop
ments were made. One had on a bolt of tho llnost
linen, adjusted to answer tho purpose of a bustle,
her coiset was filled with ptcoes of gold coin,
quilted in, to the amount of $l,BOO. Anothar had
her foiin wellrounded out with padding made or tho
best dress silks, worth five dollars and upwards per
yard. Her hose were found to oonooal a quantity
ol gentlemen’s cravats, which were swathed care
fully about her legs. The third lady's ample hoops
weie found to! cover a number of yards of broad
cloth. Her bust was filled out hy a museum of ar
ticles,' consisting mainly of jewelry, silk thread,
needles, anu meuioines. The fair smugglers wero
detained for trial.
A Lookout Edit HbiiblOonbi'Uiacukb Needed.
—We are reminded by. the seizure of the steamer
Chesapeake, of the oonspiraoy of the oaptuvoil crew
of the rebel’raih'Atlanta.’ After their dapturo, they,!
to the number’of 'one hundred'and thirty, wore con
fined In Fort Norfolk, 'and.n&ade a request of Colonel
Ludlow, our .commissioner for exobange of pri-j
soners at Fort Monroe, to be allowed to take the
oath of allegiance and go North. The almost una
nimity of the request, and.the.varied nationality of
those inalfing it, aroused the suspicion of Colonel
Ludlow, and the request was' refused, kod-theywere
stnt for exchange within the rebel lines. An in
vestigation made by Colonel Ludlow showed that
this rebel orew, h»d thehr request been granted, in
tended to go North, to ship on different steamers,
and when at sea rise upon' tbe officers, take posses-,
eion of the vessel, %nd go on tholr piratical raids, ’

The Florence Sewing Machine CoatrANr
(General Agenoy and Salesrooms No. 630 Chestnut
street) are now offering their celebrated Reversible
Feed-Lock and Knot-Stitch Machines to the publio
as being the most perfect, and adapted to more
different kinds of work, than any other Sowing Ma
chine now in use.
Years have been spent in their perfection, as the
company were detenu inert not to put the Machines
into market until they could sustain the assertion
which they now make, that they are
THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
An intelligent examination of their merits will
show that they have accomplished their object. We
take the liberty, in thic connection, for the direction
of our readers, to append below
THE VALUABLE FEATURES. OF THE “FLORENCE”
OVER ALL OTHER MACHINES.
Ist. Its reveißible feed, feeding eULor to tec-sigh*
or left; it* perfect reliability, never skipping stitches;
and the making of four diffeient etitohes, for the va
rious kinds of work.
2d. It is almost noiseless j runs very fast; the
change of the feed and stitch are made whilst the
machine is in motion.
3d, It makes the lock* stitch, which has been con
sidered heretofore, by an almost universal verdict,
as the only reliable one made. We add to that the
double look, which makes it doubly sure ; the half
and full knot stitohes, being a perfect knot to every
atitcb, which is more durable than can be made by
any other maohine, or by hand, and in all cases leav-
ing the stitches on both sides of the work alike.
The feed may be reversed at any point desired wilhoul
stopping the machine.
Changes for the various kinds of stitches aremade
while the machine is in motion.
Its stitches ate the wonder to all.
The beauty of it is unsurpassed.
No other covers bo large a range of work.
Sews light and heavy fabrics with equal facility,
and without change or alteration of tension.
The work will feed cither to the right or left.
Runs quietly, cewß rapidly.
No difficulty experienced in sewing across thick
seams.
Needle more readily adjusted than in any other
machine.
Tailors and Shirt Makers cannot afford to do with
out them. '
Every family should have a “ Florence.”
Its motions are all positive.
Will last a lifetime.
No spriDga to ge%®ut of order.
Is thoroughly practical.
The hemmer the most practical in use.

Hou. Edward Everett. — The friends
and admirers of this distinguished orator, patriot,
and statesman will be glad to learn that an Imperial
Photograph and ccr/e de in the indicated vig
nette style, have just been executed, from life, by
Mr. Gutekunst, athia galleries, Nos. 704 and 706
Arch street, duplicates of which can be had at his
counters. Mr. G. also now offers, suitable for
Christmas presents, a superb assortment of Photo
graph Albums, got up in all styles and sizes, and
sold at the lowest prices. He is receiving orders for
the Everett pictures from all parts of the country.
They are the best pictures of him, in our judgment,
that have ever been taken.
“ Procrastination is the Thief aif”
MorxjThings than “ Time.”— Delay may result in
not being able to obtain a Wheeler & Wilson Sew
ing Machine to make that contemplated present,
and eo some good woman will be‘ deprived of a real
boon/ We ; throw out thiß hint from the fact that,
enormous as Is the supply of these instruments at
the Rooms of the Wheeler & Wilson Agency, No.
704 Chestnut street, the immense demand for them
bids fair to exhaust it before the holidays. The ad
vantages of getting the Wheeler & Wilson Machine,
In preference to any other, are of the most import
ant character. In the first place, it is the best ma
chine and the cheapest- It is kept in perfect repair by
the proprietors without charge. The work done by
it is the only work; that is preferable, in
every respect, to hand sewing. Ladies are taught,
gratuitously, in the use of thia machine, whether
purchasers or not. For a gift there could be nothing
more beautiful, useful, or appropriate, than one of
these inimitable machines. We would mention in
this connection that ladies’ ready-made garments,
made up on the premises, also, Sewing Silks, and
Spool Cottons, of all numbers and colors, are for
sale at the Wheeler & Wilson brown-stone building,
704 Chestnut street. The superb waxen lady, in
their west window, is still the cynosure of all eyes.
The Deaf Made to Hear. — A very use
ful and appropriate sort of presents, to those who
need them, are those advertised by M. P. Madeira,
in another part of our paper to-day. We allude
more especially to his celebrated acoustic auridea,
and other instruments adapted to assist the hearing.
We have examined these admirable instruments, at
his warerooms, South Tenth street, and seen nu
merous cases in which the aid imparted by them
to the partially deaf has been marvellous. Detail
who have friendß whose hearing is impaired remem
ber the acoustic auricles in making their purchases of

Ware.— Persons shopping for Holiday presents
should not overlook the popular old Silver-Plated
"Ware establishment at Ninth and Chestnut streets.
This class of goods, by the way, is justly becoming
popularized. A few years ago, comparatively, the
indulgence in it was regarded as a luxury confined
to the wealthy. By recent improvements, however,
the process of plating has been so perfected, and cor
respondingly cheapened, that the enormous expense
attending the use of silver ware no longer exists. In
bringing about this change the popular house above
referred to, at Ninth and Chestnut streets, have
taken a conspicuous part, and it is, therefore, not
surprising that their stock how presents induce
ments to buyers not equalled by any other Silver
Ware establishment in the city. What we desire
more especially to direct attention to to-day is their
7mrd metal were, or Mickel, Silver Plated. This ware
is made in the same manner, precisely, as the Shef
field Ware, and warranted to give equal satisfac
tion. Purchasers should bear in mind that this
class of ware is infinitely preferable to any other
made, and that the only place to get it 1b at Ninth
and Chestnut streets. This superb class of goods
for holiday presents should not be overlooked.
The Gustatory Pleasures of a good
Dinner or Supper, to be realized in greatest per
fection, must be indulged in at J. W. Price’s, Fourth
and Chestnut streets. The hundreds of gentlemen
who daily visit these popular Dining Saloons suffi
ciently attest the truth of this assertion. Mr. Price
evidently.started out with a determination to stand
at the head of his profession as a first-claßs caterer,
and the object of hiß ambition has been handsomely
attained. He evidently what few men in hia
business have ever learned, that in all matters per
taining to the pleasures of the palate and the grati
fication of the stomach the highest degree of excel
lenoe will be most-popular, and, in the end, most
remunerative. Mr. Price’s tables are servedregard
leas of expense, and his oharges, withal, are mode
rate, which, added to the fact that he employs only
the most competent, intelligent, and polite waiters,
makes it a real pleasure to dine at his saloons.
The 'Advantages of a Great Repu
tation.—it is one thing to achieve a reputation; it
is another thing to retain it. - The Grover & Baker
Sewing Machine Company have done both, and
their enterprising agent in this oity, No/h-IO Chest
nut street, is evidently determined to maintain the
supremacy acquired by the Gover & Baker Machine
in this city. It is well known that the Grover &
Baker Machine, for all the purposes to which a
family Sewing Machine can be applied, has here
tofore received the. very highest testimonials
wherever It has been exhibited In competition with
others.' The fact is, the “Grover & Baker”
iB Hie machine wherever parties are deßirous. of
obtaining a Sewing Maohine that will give un
doubted s&tißtaotion In every particular. It Sews,
braids, hems, fells, tucks, and enihroiiiersj(olegantly),
and performs numerous other items, of whioh its
most aspiring rivals are utterly incapable, and Its
reputatipn as a durable maohine, and one that can
be operated with the greatest ease, is established
beyond a oavll. Wo do not wonder, therefore,that
the anxiety on the part of the public to procure
these,inaohlues oxooeds anything over experienced
In tho mercantile experience of our olty. Thoso of
our readors who have not yet done so, should goat
onoo to 130 Chestnut stroot anil order tbe size and
oharaotor of jnaohtnos they wish for Presents, to be
made during tho Christmas holidays.
LakgH’Simi Fhotogiuths from Life,—
As might have boon expected by thoso who are faml-.
liar with the history of Photography In tho-United
States, Mr. Wenderotli, of the oelebrated Brm of
Wcuileroth Sc Taylor (lormerly Broadbont 3c Oo.),
Nos. 1112, 814, and 010 Chestnut street, has succeeded
lfi producing the most perfect and artistic specimens
of imperial and Extra Imperial Photographs from
that have yet been achieved. They are equal In
softness and expression to the finest mezzotint en
gravings. Tho splendid new pioture of Mr. Wendo
rotli’s, entitled “A Breath of Fresh Air,” is now,
wo are happy: to state, a Jin-hire in their splendid
gallery of art, as a speoimen of what they are pro
luircd to execute to order.
Eleg ant Stock of Fall and Winter
Clothing.— Messrs. C. Somers St Son, the well
known clothing firm, No. 625 Chestnut street, under
•Tayne’s Hall, are now selling tholr magnlfloent stock
of fashionable Winter Clothing at greatly reduced
prices, in anticipation of the close of the season.
Their assortment of ready-made garments is not sur
passed hy any other in the olty, whilst in ordered
work they have achieved a reputation second to no
merchant-tailoring establishment m Philadelphia.
Give them snail, all who are in want or good cloth
ing at low prices.
Magnificent Stock of Holiday Con
sections. —Messrs. E. G> Whitman & 00., No. 318
Chestnut street, next door to Adams & Co.’s Ex
press, with characteristic liberality have provided a
stock of Confections lor the holidays worthy of
their name and fame. Everything in the way of de
licious Confections, from the plainest candies to the
most delicious French preparations, fit to adorn the
table of a prince, may be found in their stock, and
as they only manufacture from the purest and.
choicest materials, their atoolc is preferable to any
other in the city.
Splendid Holiday Stock.— We invite
the attention of our readers this morning to the ad
vertisement of Mrs. E. C. Davis, No. 24 South
Eighth street, whioh will be found in another
column. The stock which she offers we can speak
of experimentally, and in saying that it presents an
array of attractions, in the way of elegant imported
articles suitable for gifts, equal to any other in the
Union, we are but expressing the opinions of hun
dreds in this city, who for years past have pa
tronized this well-known establishment for holiday
goods.
Carpenter's Patent Stove - Pipe
Damper.— The high price of coal has impressed all
prurient housekeepers with a sense of the import
ance of economy in the consumption of their stock
of the ** black diamonds,” which are indeed beco
ming worthy of that title, from their coal, as well as
their appearance and chemical oompoaition. Among
the various new devices for accomplishing this im
portant end, we know of none more simple, practi
cal, and efficient than the use of Carpenter’s Pate at
Stovepipe Damper, a new invention, by which a
greatly-increased amount of heat is extracted from
aDy given quantity or coal. A number of our citi
zens have cordiftUy_ftui>ro««n it, our- uwTiexpe
nenrie, after a fair trial, corroborates their testi
mony.
Parabola Spectacles are the fruit of
Yankee application of a great discovery of a Freaob.
ravaD. They are rapidly getting into -general use.

eye. HaviDg an universal focus, they are worn
without any fatigue to the optic nerve. Look whioh
ever way you may through them, and the focus re
sponds to the demands of the eye. For sale only by
E. Eorhek, Optician, No. 402 Chestnut street,
above Fourth. ~
The President’s Message, and other
State documents, it is gratifying to find, are giving
general satisfaction, reminding us, in this particular,
of the mode of dealing adopted by Mr. W. W. Alter,
the popular Coal merohant, No. 935 North Ninth
street, above Poplar. He serves his customers
promptly, giveß them the best and purest'coal in
the market, and charges a moderate price. Hence
hia great success.

The Battle of Gettysburg,—This
battle of three days will compare, in magnitude and
far-teaching consequences, with any of the great
battles of modem times. In the battle of Waterloo
the Allies bad 72,000) the French 80,000 $ in this the
Rebels had 90,000, the Federal* about 60,000 men.
The British had 186 cannon; the French 252 ; the Re
bels had upward of 200, and we an equal number.
The Allies lost 20,000 in killed and wounded, the
French 40,000 in killed, wounded and prisoners ; the
Federal* lost about 20,000j»wliilst the Rebels lost, in
killed, wounded, prisoners, and deserters, 40,000.
The battle of Waterloo resulted in effectually
crushing the power of Napoleon; the battle of Get
tysburg resulted in turning back the Rebel hordes
from indiscriminate plunder of Philadelphia.
Among the most desirable objects of Bearch, no
doubt, would be the “one price” clothing store of
Charles Stokes & Co., under the ** Continental.”

we hear this remark! Persons thus afflicted should use

firmly believe it has no equal in effectually curing pul
monary complaint?. Even in neglected cases, -where the
cough is seated, pains, breast or side, foyer, bloody ex

Jayne's Expectorant.—All who hate
used tills standard Medicine for
Asthma, Consumption,
Bronchitis, Pleurisy,
Whooping Cough, - Croup,
Ccughs and Colds, Hoarseness,
Or any Pulmonary Complaint, attest its usefulness. In
proof of this fact we would -state that for thirty years
past the Expectorant has been before the public,and that
each succeeding year has added to its popularity and ex- '
tended the demand, until now it is known and appre
ciated in all quarters of the world, and admitted to he
~ the Great Earned the Age for that class of diseases
for which it is especially designed.
Recent Coughs and Colds, Plturitic Pains, etc are
quichly and effectually cured by its diaphoretic, sooth
ing, and expectorant power.
Asthma it always cures. It overcomes the spasmodic
contraction in the air vessels, and by producing Area
expectoration at once removes all difficulty of breathing.
Bronchitis readily yields to the Expectorant. It sub
dues the inflammation which extends through the wtud
tubes, produces free expectoration, and suppresses at
once the co ugh and pain.
Consumption. —For this insidious and fatal disease no
remedy on earth has been found so effectual. It subdues
the inflammation, relieves the cough and pain, and re
moves the difficulty of breathing, and produces an easy
expectoration, whereby aU irritating and obstructing
matters are removed from the lungs.
Whooping Cough is promptly relieved by this Expec
torant. It shortens the duration of the disease one-half
and greatly mitigates the sufferings of the patient.
In all Pulmonary Complaints, in Croup, Pleurisy,etc,,
it will be found, to be prompt, safe, pleasant, and reli
able.
