The Presidential Election.
It is not of the man who will lead the
national party in the Presidential campaign
of 1864 that we now speak, but of the
principles that he must represent. Who
ire the President-makers now? Not the
Warwicks of Washington, who of old held
the crown just out of reach of the many
hands outstretched to grasp it, giving it too
often in the end to the worst man because
he was the best tool. The President-makers
arc the people. Before the great Union
Convention shall meet, they will have de
clared the name of the next President of
the United States, and the nomination of
that Convention will he no more than a
formal ratification of a previous decision.
We can afford to await their will, for no man
-can oppose it. We can trust their choice,
•for we have faith in their wisdom. Those
■gentlemen who. are so very anxious to sus
tain the next Administration that they forget
their duty to sustain that which now appeals
to the country, we congratulate upon their
energy; but we neither envy nor imitate
the man who cares so much for a candidate
that he cares less for a principle. We know
th£t it is our duty, and we feel it to be our
pride, to give the great policy of the Go
vernment our unconditional approval and
support. We know that policy to be right;
we know that the men who are the heads
of the Administration are earnest and wise;
for what they have done we honor Mr.
Lincoln and his Cabinet. The world has
never seen republican rulers so bitterly as
sailed, so heavily burdened with responsi
bility, as those now in power, and if ever
mCn deserved the gratitude of a nation those
men deserve it, who, when Jambs Bu
chanan left the ship of state drifting to de
struction, grasped the helm with a sublime
courage, and steered it to safety and to
glory. But he is presumptuous and un
worthy the trust of his fellow-citizens who
dares, on the 31st of December, 1863,fte
:say who shall solemnly be inaugurated
'President on the 4th of March, 1865.
No! it is not candidates that all loyal
men are now commanded by the necessities
of the Republic to quarrel about, but they
are required to understand principles, and
understanding, to sustain them.- Compared
With the value of the principles upon which
we have rededicated the Union to freedom,
all men are valueless. What'was Wash
ington to the Revolution but a sword in
the hand of the people? What are the
heroes of to-day compared to the heroism
which overshadows their deeds? We
shall not lack a great leader in the
coming struggle with the remnants of the
pro-slavery party in the North; let us look
to it, then, that as we are to fight, we shall
know precisely what we fight for. The
Revolution was not lought that Washing
ton might be the first President, nor the
election of 1860 that Mr. Lincoln might be
the sixteenth. So in the campaign of 1864 we
shall struggle not to place any man in office,
but to define and establish principles which
all future Presidents shall represent, and
which no party shall again dare to deny.
, The impossibility of the secession of a
State; the impossibility that the United
States shall protect slavery ; the impossi
bility of suffering slavery to be any longer
a disgrace to the flag, an insult to the North,
a danger to the Union, and a horror to the
whole world—these are some of the prin
ciples upon which the National party shall
standinthenextPresidentialcampaign. The
necessity of so using this war that never again
shall the sectional interests of parties result
in another war; the necessity of maintain
ing the policy which the present Adminis
tration so ably embodies; the necessity of
never ceasing to war so long as the authority
of the Government is defied by a single regi-
ment of rebels —these are the same principles
in. other forms. Bum all up, if you please, in
one firm declaration that no compromise
is henceforth possible with rebellion or the
cause of rebellion, or unfold them in their
many practical applications, they still re
main the sole and indestructible principles
upon which all our future glory and great
ness must depend. If they are still misun
derstood and libelled in the loyal States, and
if it is not yet certain that they will be tri
umphantly sustained by nine-tenths of the
loyal voters, can we do better than to make
their perfect victory in every State our first
and greatest object ? Let us only build
our National platform, and never fear but
we shall find a man worthy to stand upon it,
as firmly as a rock rests upon a rock.
The Confidence of the North.
One of the greatest compliments yet paid
to the North, through the columhs of the
London Times, and by one of its own
writers, is to be found in the latest Rich
mond correspondence of that journal.
Commencing with the statement that the
Confederate States are approaching a stage
in this war which will test more than ever
the stubbornness and tenacity of their tem
per and patience, and can only be success
fully encountered by a national spirit as
systematic'as it is resolute, the writer gives
an abstract of our recent movements, and
hints at the circumstantial causes which
help the North and the.- South.
Great stress is laid upon the faith in them
selves which animates the Northerners; and,
in the midst of his encomiums upon them,
the intelligent correspondent rather mistily
exclaims: “Would that I could see pro
mise of future and final Southern triumph
in any corresponding quality of the Southern
mind !"
It ia time, indeed, that this confidence of
the North in itself should he recognized as
one of the reasons of our success! The mo
tives which have steadily %id equably in
spired us are not the motives. which have
spasmodically energized the-South. We
have looked to different causes as we look
to different results. There are somefeelings
which men share equally with women; there
are some emotions which will not reveal
themselves in a logical light, which exist
with the strength and deep-rootedness of an
intuition, and whose very existence gives a
Stronger pulse to the bosom in which they
exist. : Such are the emotions with which
the North regards itself, and its relations
with the South. The one .thing that we
Northemers are most certain of, is that the
Union is to be perpetuated. The Union is
to be perpetuated. We . may doubt any
thing and everything else, but we will
not, we cannot, doubt that. The logic of
events bears us out in our convictions; the
ratiocination of our feats at arms sweeps us
onward to an evitable conclusion. But we
have sufficient reason to feel content to leave
the logic of events to itself. It answers all
cavils and doubts unanswerably. To it we
' refer all who would seek to weigh falsehood
with truth. The sophistry of the South be
comes each day; more apparent. ' Their dis
belief in themselves is the vulnerable spot in
the heel of that lackadaisical Achilles.
We at the North rest upon our convictions.
We a/re right. No disasters in any possible
future could shake our faith in ourselves.
Through a million crevices stalwart arms
stretch forth which shall grasp the pliant fu
ture of the nation and mould it to their will.
And whilst we are thus confident, can any
one prove that we are so from an excess of
vanity or pride ?
Our convictions on this point are thrust
upon us by the very nature of the circum
stances in which we find ourselves involved.
'The South has made all the efforts in her
power to stand up against the North.
What is the use ? The thing cannot be
•done. Are we to be told that a brave peo
ple, who conceive themselves to be outraged,
will consent to he annihilated rather than
(submit or yield ? The armies of the South
vioyo Struggled with their utmost endeavors.
Have the people at the South been outraged?
Has there ever been one single cause given
for thb-disruption which they would effect ?
Is it possible that they .will prefer to be
face of the earth, and have
their hloUed out, rather than,
capitulate; and act in allegiance tiHhose just
laws whose executive has so supreme a
right to enforce such allegiance ?
The leading events of the time sufficiently
answer all such questions. Rank and file
are abandoning the cause of the South, and
upholding that of the North. Compared
with the retributive agonies which are in
flicted on the South, the beds our sufferers
sleep on are beds of roses. Our Executive
has stretched out his hands to them freely.
Through all the States, far and near, the
brains and hearts and hands of strenuous
workers have well-nigh exhausted all hon
orable measures to bring about peace.
“ Save the- States, and the Union will take
care of itself,” has been our watchword.’
No nation dares to ask us now, why we
care so to preserve our Union. If any
should ask us, we should tell them this :
Our Union is ourselves. Self-preservation
is the first law of nature. We are to
exist forever as a nation, and we are
to eclipse all other nations of modem and
of ancient times. Pot this out of the eter
nal past we were called into existence. The
first conception of an incomparable Repub
lic may have been but a twinkling star in
the vision of God. By degrees it assumed
bulk and shape; by degrees that coneeption
:has grown to be what it is. In all the pro
mises of the future we are united still. The
history of the world affords no parallel to us.
Approaching the curved line of our strange
career, no asymptote is perceptible in the
annals of nations. And let it not be thought
that this proceeds from any misconception
of ourselves. We know that we have faults
as a nation,-that we have made mistakes in
times past, as we may in times to come.
But there is one feeling which is intuitive in
the breast of every loyal na tire-born Ame
ricans- The Union must and shall be pre
served. For the Union to be destroyed
is for an American to cease to be
an American. The calmest, the most
dispassionate amongst us believe this -as
firmly as they believe m their own ex
istence. They are open to the deductions of
logic, and all the logic in the world goes to
prove what they believe on this score.
Contrast all this with the utter want of
self-trust in the God-forsaken South. If the
South possessed men and_money in plenty, if
volunteers poured in in a continuous stream,
and if the skies showered gold—would all
this stand against faithlessness and want
of faith?—a heart-preying conviction of
wrong, and consequent remorse and de
spair? If, then, to this intense misery of
self.distrust is added the almost as keen one
Of want of means, what conception are we
to form of the direful distresses of the
South? .
If the North trusted only in those regions
which she has reclaimed, she would find
enough to confide in." With Maryland for
ever lost to the cause of the rebellion; with'
Missouri and Western Virginia, Louisiana,
Arkansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee, either
wholly Union, or far on their way to Union
ism, we; collect from all quarters rays of
strength, brought together in a focus of
Unionism. The confidence which we feel,
then, may well become the object of ad
miration and wonder, even of a 'British
writer. The testimony which is forced
from such lips, and which depicts the South
in colors not less gloomy than those in
which her most strenuous opposers depict
her, is the most valuable which we can ob
tain. It tells amazingly against the South;
it speaks a volume in favor of the North.
But, whilst we thus survey our own posi
tion with unflinching eyes, we do not rest
idle. The' creed of the fatalfet is not our
creed. We put our shoulder to the wheel,
and believe that the gods help those who
help themselves. Needing no foreign physi
cal aid, we had at least reason to hope for
the kindlier assistance of sympathy and
countenance. These auxiliaries to our ex
ertions we have never had. But the hopes
of the North never mounted very high in
that direction; The hopes of the South have.
They are defeated and utterly cast down.
The people of the South have ever been
destitute of that mad confidence which in
flated their leaders, and are now learning
that the wages of their national sin, if con
tinued in, will be a national death.
French Impecuniosity.
When a man is “ out at the elbows,” Jjbi
expenditure greatly exceeding his ; incoihe,
he must either continue living afc-his old
rate, or. at once change his system by rigid
retrenchment. In the latter case, the even
tual result will be the payment of his cre
ditors, and certain independence—for he
who lives Within his income is really inde
pendent; in the former, he may look for
constant annoyance, the increase Mid accu
mulation of debt, and proximate ruin.
Prance, at present, is in the condition of the
spendthrift, who, not having the honesty and
courage to retrench, proposes to go on by
borrowing more money.
M. Fould, the Trench Minister of Pi
nance, formally reports to the Emperor Na
rOLEOfr that the deficit on the year just
ending amounts to 973,000,000 francs, equal
to $194,400,000. In plain words, the
French Government has not spent all
the year’s income, but has' exceeded it by
the vast amount here stated. France, which
has supplied the year’s revenue, asks, what
is there that can be accepted as a set off to
this enormous deficiency, and no satisfactory
reply can be given. The expedition to
Cochin China and the invasion of Mexico
have cost much money—say sixty million
francs for the first, and two hundred and
ten million francs for the latter—but deduct
these amounts from the gross sum, and
there remains a deficiency of over seven
hundred millions of francs. The proposal,
on the' part of Finance-Minister Fould, is
not to yetench the great expenditure, which
has so far exceeded the revenue, but to
borrow 300,000,000 francs, and it has been
decided that this loan shall be raised by
public subscription. As the amount is not
one-third of the whole deficit, it is confi
dently stated, this cannot be a war-loan;
but M. Fould preserves an ominous silence
on one point—he holds out no hope, lie
makes no promise that there will not be
another loan, and yet another, in the year
on whose threshold we now stand.
M. Foulv calculates that the expenditure
of two hundred and ten millions, on account
of Mexico, will one day be repaid to France.
When and how are not stated. The con
dition of Mexico, under French rule, is as
bad as it was under the rule 'of President
Juabez a little worse, indeed, for the
official report: is: “ The roads swarm with
brigands, so that commercial traffic is im
possible.” The idea of an Austrian prince
now accepting the crown *f such a country
seems to have been abandoned. One thing
..only is certain, that Mexico, if kept in
French occupation, will be a constant drain
on French resources, andjhat Napoleon
is not the. man to quit'Mexico without ob
taining, as repayment for its debt to him,
the cession of Sonora or some other rich
province. Glory is very dear to. France.
.Gilded unsubstantially as it is, Frenchmen
aTe content to pay a high price for it. The
elder Napoleon gave France a great deal
of this glory, and was paade Emperor for
doing so. The present man played the
same game in the Bussian and Italian
wars. The French soldiers won reputation
in the Crimea and in Italy, hut they have
not won glory in Mexico. It took them
eighteen months to advance from the sea
board to the capital, and the portion; of
Mexico really in their occupation is ludi
crously small. The money spent on the
Mexican expedition is.money thrown away,
for it has not brought any glory on France.
A deficiency of 973 million francs, and a
loan of 800 millions, constitute a miserable
Christmas-box aud; New Tear’s gift for
France. There is nothing to show for it.
Most probably Napoleon’s proposal of a
Congress to be holden in Paris, early in
1864, chiefly arose out of his desire to stand
well with Frenchmen, and especially with
he Parisians. Even if nothing of import
ance were done at this Congress, the mere
fact that the leading sovereigns of Europe
had assembled in Pariß, at the imperial call
of the elected ruler of France, would have
swelled the amour propre of Frenchmen.
There would also have been a reconstructed
metropolis to show to the Emperors, Kings,
and Princes of Europe—for in. whatever
eiso Napoleon 111. may., have had short-
must: he. admitted that he has
neafte, in the few yearq of Uia reign, to
make Paris worthy of the great nation than
a dozen preceding rulers (including Louts
XIV. and Nafolbon I.) had conjointly
effected. But it seems doubtful whether the
Congress will be held, and great will be the
disappointment of Paris.
The third Nafolbon, remembering Eng
land’s old motto, “Ships, Colonies, Com
merce,” has devoted the latter years of his
reign to colonization. Hence, his various
expeditions in China, Cochin China, the
Pacific, Mexico, and Egypt, besides his en
deavor to build up Algeria as a vast French
province. But the French scarcely know
how to colonize, for they are not a naval
nation, and when they make a qonquest
across the sea, manage it so badly that it
does not pay. England’s policy is now for
peace, but France cannot be quite happy
without battle, and in order to keep the
army on his side, Napoleon may “cry
havoc and let slip the dogs of war” at any
moment. The deficiency of 972,000,000
francs, reported by M. FouLiy would not
not be any impediment to war, if it pleased
the Emperor’s pleasure or policy to com
mence it.
Mexico and tHe Rebel Confederacy.
A friendly tit-for-tat is, it is stated, pro
posed between the Confederate and French
Governments. The new rebel envoy to
France, Mr. Supekyiblle, is understood to
be commissioned to notify the French Go
vernment of the recognition by the Rebel
Government of the Empire of Mexico. Close
upon the heels of this ratification follows
Mr. Supebvielue's persuasive logic, whose
anticipated effect will be the recognition of
the Southern Confederacy by Napoleon.
This complimentary tit-for-tat business is
carrying out the golden rule with a ven
geance. Southern diplomacy resolves itself
into “ you tickle me and I’ll tickle you.”
To say nothing of the gratitude of the French
Government for a countenance and support
for which they have never importuned, not to
speak in the language of detraction of the ex
ceeding dignity involved in this self-recom
mendatory man of the South, it were well
to restrain the smile which involuntarily
rises to our lips when we behold her in the
ridiculous light in which she thu3 places
herself. The Southern Confederacy recog
nize the Empire of Mexico ? A tumble
down house of cards forming a visiting ac
quaintance with another house of cards not
yet built; castle Rackrent enjoying a heigh-;■
borly interchange of feeling with a castle in
the air ? In all she does, and in all she does
not, the South betrays the misery and weak
ness which are killing her. The French forces
have not yet thoroughly invested Mexico,
and their operations there have not been of a
peculiarly successful strategic nature. The
French star of Empire has hot yet reached
its zenith, and, looking at it seriously for a
moment, the action of the South, if the report
be true, is somewhat premature. However, so
many strange and incomprehensible things
have been done by the Government of
which Mr. Davis is Dictator, that we are
scarcely to be surprised at whatever hap
pens now. The leaders of the South are
at their wits’ ends to know what they are
to do. How are they to support the war
three months longer? How are they to
support the drooping spirits of their fol
lowers? How are they to procure the
means of bare existence ? Their hopes have
all been blighted. Now they appeal to
France. Will France recognize the South
ern Confederacy, if the Southern Confede
racy recognizes the Empire of Mexico ?
The game is one of turn and turn about.
German Politics.
So general is the German feeling that
Schleswig-Holstein ought to he separated
from Denmark, that the Prussian legisla
tures, so long at variance with the King and
his ministers, are now willing to submit to his
despotic rule, provided that, going with the
rest of Germany, he will violate the treaty
of London, assist in wresting Schleswig-
Holstein from the sway of Christian IX,
of Denmark, and- recognise the hereditary
Grand Duke of Augustenburg as Duke of
Schleswig-Holstein. M. Von Bismark, the
Prussian Prime: Minister, pauses ere he per
mits Prussia to violate the treaty of 1853,
■wbieL it'signed;,but the popular party in
tile. Legislature urge him to do so. Thus
the Government is urged to commit a great
wrong, and declines.
It is noticeable that the great European
Powers, at all connected with, this Germa
nic question, are borrowing money to meet
the expenses of a possible war. In Prus
sia a loan of twelve million thalers will be
contracted for on this account. In Austria the
sum of fifteen million thalers will be raised
for the same purpose.; Sweden, Bavaria,
Saxony, and Hanover are also in the money
market. Austria is nearly alone in its de
sire that the relation of Schleswig-Holstein
to the rest of Denmark shall not be changed.
England will certainly act in unison .with
Austria on this occasion. The great error
was committed.in 1853, by the contracting
sovereigns, who made the treaty regulating
the succession in Denmark, going out of the
regular line of descent, by passing over the
Duke of Augustenburg, and adopting, ns
heir apparent, and a cadet of the younger
line. That cadet is the present Christian
IX, and his reign has commenced most un,
propitiously.
The rebel armies have gone into winter
quarters, according to the Richmond papers.
If among these Longstreet’s devoted<fjj
gitives are counted, their quarters must be m
all the very wintriest. We hear ; of them
being so footsore and barefooted that their
movements were. very seriously delayed.
They have managed to subsist for a re
markable period in a country thought ex
hausted, with an enemy at work in front
and flank; and lately their communication
with Richmond was cut off by the fine ex
ploit of AvERiLL on the Virginia and Ten
nessee Railroad. Longstreet still lives,
but must be reduced to a desperate strait
between the alternative of breaking up and
being broken up.

idle. Let me say in reply, Fhat if the people at the
North only knew the reason why we were idle
they would stop their grumbling. In due; season
they will have a chance’to rejoice over the doings of
our navy before Charleston. To prove that this is no

dollars with any Northers grumbler that, if every

MORTALITY AMONG THE ONION PRI
SONERS AT DANVILLE.
THE SITUATION AT DALTON* <8 A.
Files of Richmond papers of the 2sfch instant fur
nish several matters of interest.
The question of an exchange of prisoners U a till
largely discussed* The Whig, referring to Butler's
proposition for an exohange, says:
“A. preliminary question to be considered by our
autfcorites, ia whether they will treat with a person
whom they have formally outlawed. If this difficulty
can be got over, we dare say Butler may be dealt with
on as good terms as any one Lincoln will select.
Hitohoook and Meredith both proved themselves
very scurvy fellows—falsifiers and tricksters. They
are well got rid of. It is known that Butler disap
proved their conCuet,andtbathehaaail along favored,
or pretended to favor, a just and liberal plan of ex
ohange. The first carrel that was entered into
was negotiated, if we remember aright, between
him and General D. H. Hill. Upon the whole, and
in >view of the accomplishment of bo deslrahLa an
end as the liberation of so many of our noble fel
lows, now the tenants of Yankee prisons, we hope
the President may not find it incompatible with the
dignity and duty of the Government to waive the
outlawry and reoogniee the beast. It will be neces
sary for Colonel Quid, though, to be wide awake
when they get to arranging the terms of exohange,
for this cross-eyed Yankee has in him the cunning
of the Evil One."
JOHNSTON'S ARMY WILL WOT RRTIRR.
The army correspondent of the Savannah RepuUu
can writes as follows in reference to the movements
of Johnston's (late Hardee's) army;
41 The belief is said to be entertained very gene
rally in Georgia, that the army was engaged in re
pairing the roads and constructing bridges in Its
rear, with a view to falling back upon Atlanta,
Having heard that some uneasiness was felt upon
this subject, I called upon General Hardee before
leaving DaltoD, and I have his authority for saying
that he had not the least thought of retiring from his
present position ; but, on the contrary, if the enemy
should advance this winter, which he does not be*
lieve they will do, he will dispute every foot of
ground from Tunnel Hill to Atlanta. He believes,
moreover, that if the absentees will return to duty,
and the people at home will continue to supply the
army with the means of subsistence, the Federal
army will never succeed in reaching Atlanta any
more than it has succeeded in reaching Richmond.”
The rebels have all gone into winter quarters.
THE PBDRRAL PRISONERS AT DANVILLK.
... The Whig says : “ The Danville Registers ays the
email* poa continues ,to spread among the Yankee
prisoners there, and there are now about three hun
dred cases in all. The virus furnished by their own
Government having been generally administered,
the progress of the disease may be cheoked. The
fatality among the prisoners from this and other
maladies is very great. Several wagon-loads are.
hauled out to the graveyard every day from the
general hospital, besides those who die of small
pox.”
The Legislature of Alabama has voted that the
beautiful carpets that eover the floors of the Senate"
Chamber, Hall of Representatives, and all offices
and committee rooms in the elegantly furnished Ca
pitol at Montgomery} be out up and given to the

A Fatai. fight.— On Friday last, Frederick An

employed as laborers at some new works at Cop
thorn, in Sussex, had a dispute as to the relative
merits of the fight between Heeuan and King on the
previous day. To settle the matter they resolved to
have a fight themselves. They accordingly met for
this purpose, accompanied by seconds, and had seve
ral rounds. The result was that, Weeks finally fell
to the ground insensible, and shortly afterwards ex
pired. An Inquest was held on his body on the fol
lowing day, and, after hearing the evidence, the jury
returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased
-had been killed by Frederiek-Andruws, and that Thos.
Week's and Cbas. Luckins, the two seconds, had been
guilty of aiding and abetting. Andrews, who was
in the custody of the police, was at once committed
for trial upon the ooroner’s warrant, and warrants
were issued against the two seconds, who were sub
sequently apprehended, but admitted to ball.

What Genbrai. Sherman Said.— General Sher
man, on his arrival at Cincinnati, on Wednesday,
was complimented with a serenade at the Burnet
House, in acknowledgment of which he made a brief
address. He referred to the successes of the army
under bis command, saying that his soldiers had
achieved triumphs more brilliant .than any of the
achievements of Napoleon. - His corps has marched
three thousand miles Binoe they left home, have
fought eight pitched battles, and not lost a single
one. He was confident that all would come out
right in the end; but the army asked their friends at
home to have patience. They who were standing
off at a safe distance might afford to have as much
patience as the soldiers. At any rate they could not
help themselves, and the war would jog along as
beßt it could, regardless of oomplaintß. Ultimately
tbe Union would be restored, and the nation prosper
again in grandeur and glory.
Fine Arts.
At the close of this week the exhibition of Mr.
Hothermel’* fine pioture, “ The Exposure of Chris
tians iu tbe Homan Amphitheatre,” will terminate.
.It; is to be seen in the Academy of the Fine Arts,
'Chestnut street, and has there attracted much.at
tention and admiration. Having again visited this
picture, our impression of it is even more vividly
confirmed—it is one of the finest paintings of its
olass which has ever been offered to the public on this
side of the Atlantio. When we say “of its class,”
we mean as High Art, a poetical rendering of his
tory, sacred or profane.
The painting itself renders history without re.
ferring to any positive Incident. The scene Is in the
Coliseum. Through one of the arches outside of
the Arena a glimpse of the scene of blond within it
is given to the spectators. The audienoeis partly
shown. The lion may be tearing any Christian to
pieces, and the group in the front of the picture may
be any Christians waiting in turn for the moment
that is to hand them over to the unfed beasts that
are howling in the cages at the end of the Arena.
This group constitutes the subject of the painting,
and is veiy splendidly composed. It is pyramidical
in form—the apex of the pyramid being formed by
the he ad of the Homan soldier standing apparently
on the steps leading to the Arena, and pointing
within, as if directing the removal of another victim
to be abandoned to the wild beasts. The principal
pyramid, however, is divided by the light and shade
into two lesser pyramids, the centre being left in
shadow. By this arrangement the light is ingeni
ously thrown, broadly and fully, upon the groups of
victims, while the central figure is in deep shadow,
relieved against the gray of the Arena. This inge
nious distribution of the light and shade in the pic
ture was probably intended by Mr. Kothermel to be
significant of the opposition between the light of the
: soul ’in the doomed Christians and the moral dark
- ness in whioh their persecutors were plunged.
The three points on which thlß picture is so great
are its composition, its light land shade, and its
• coloring. The expression is rather good, than great
The drawing is occasionally very fine,’-and occa
sionally not so good. As this is a fault which Mr,
Hothermel shares with .Rubens and other great
colorists, he need not except to our noticing it We
would point to the want of Indication of form under
the drapery around the legs and hips of the female
figure standing lacing the spectator on the left of the
pieturo; to the right arm and hand of the mourn
ing female" in the foreground to the right of the
oentre; to the feet and legs of the children sitting
by her; to the arms, bust, and neck, of the woman
in shadow, who Is closing her ears with her hands,
to exclude the clamors of the Arena; and to the
right arm of the "Homan soldier pointing Into it. On
the other hand, we would point out, as flue; points
in the drawing, the face of the approaching viotim
on the left, whioh, indeed, is charming; the left
arm or the fainting woman, whioh la deliciously
drawn and felt out; the head of the old man who Is
bending over her; and much in the two children In
the left of the picture, who are lost in honor, at the
fate to which they arc doomed.
We have already spoken of the composition, and
incidentally of the light and shade, as singularly
For breadth and fine disposition of the subor
dinate lights in the pioture, we cannot but esteem It
as ranking very far beyond any picture of .the Ameri
can school in painting that we have seen. The color
is of even a higher olass, and ranges at a fair dis
tance between Kubens and Paul Veronese, with a
dash in the shadow of the gloom whioh is affected
by Tintoretto, although with considerably more
warmth. On the whole, It inclines more decidedly
towards Eubehs in its style of color, than to either
of the two other masters. This Inclination, how
ever, is by no means that of a copyist. The hand
ling, though acaroely so large as that of the great
Fleming, Is more vigorous, and exhibits much
more lmpasto. The blue is also more pronounced.
Hence, this picture is at present fresher, and pro
vided It retain ita color, must always remain one of
the finest examples of oolor that ouc American
schoolhae yet produoed, being singularly pure and
fresh, considering the vigor In its disposition which
Mr. Kothermel has displayed.
we again congratulate Mr. Hothermel upon the
step,whioh he has made by completing and exhi
biting a pictiire whioh indubitably places him in the
first rank of our historical artisls, while, as a poeti
cal translator of history upon the. oanvas, he must
stand alone! In'former notices, so much was said
of the general merits ofthis picture, that we have
confined ourselves, in thin valediotory, to a strictly

(Judicial Decorum and
Te the Editor qf The Press;
Sin: Yesterday, when the Supreme Court was
listening to the argument on the constitutionality
of the draft act of Congress, the counsel for the
United States waa twiee’interrupted—once by judge
Thompson, and the second time by Chief Justice
Woodward.
When it was argued that the United States Courts
only have the jurisdiction so recently usurped by the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Judge Thompson
exclaimed: “I would not believe, if asserted a
thousand times, that we have such a tyranny.”
That is to say, that if the highest court in the
United States should have deoided a thousand times
in opposition to the disloyal views of those opposing
the Government, he (Judge Thompson) would not
regard the decision. The lndeaorum of the inter
ruption and of the language of it, in not greater than
the utter want ol logfo or sense in it. This came,
too, from a Judge who had recently decided so as to
prevent the turning out of ft member of the
Common Council of thiß oity, whose only olaim to- a
seat was a false certificate. But there was no
tyranny in that, though the only exouse fan
the decision was, that a pseudo Common Council
had the exclusive jurisdiction of the matter, even
where the decision was a corrupt and false one.
What, then, is the tyranny in giving to the United
States courts exolueive jurisdiction in questions as
to the direction or restraining of Untied States
officers'! It can only consist In this, that the- Su
pieme Court of Pennsylvania is so purs and so good
that no other oourt can effect! vely protect the people.
As the court is now constituted we have full confi
dence in it; as it was recently constituted it had justly
lost all claim on the publio esteem by its entiro sub
seivieoce te disloyal partisanship. Hence their
eagerness to usurp a power (utterly uoheard of in
any iquity oourt, and entirely out of the jurisdiction
of a State court) to embarrass the General Govern
ment in its efforts to suppress the rebellion.
The oourt os now constituted will doubtless
hasten to correct thiß attempted abuse, and the
opinions delivered in support of the former order of
the court, will remain a standing reproaoh to the
judges who delivered them.
The interruptions of the chief justice is not worth
a comment. He asked whether a party (meaning
the United States) could question the jurisdiction of
the oourt after failing to object to it at the first.
Nowtheohief justice, and every law student, knows
that it is never too late to show a want of jurisdic
tion in a court, except in a few cases, where a party
by appearing t ia technically estopped from denying
the power of the court over the subject matter,

Celebration of New Year’s Day*
To the Editor of The Press:
.' Sm; Christmas is over, and the little folks have
enjoyed their Christmas trees. I write you to-day
to suggest on additional enjoyment for the oomlog
Hew Year's day. Let ail tne Christmas trees be
transformed into liberty trees, hung all over with,
miniature American flggs. The largest from the
top, &nd on it inscribed tne words “Proclamation of
Emancipation, Jan. Ist, 1863,” and the victories of
the year. Many persons are conscientiously opposed
to any observance of. Christmas as a religious holi
day. Such, I have no doubt, will be pleased to adopt
the above suggestion, and while thus affording en
joyment to their little ones, will iDculcate in them a
hatred of slavery, and love of freedom, and an in
creased devotion to .our national emblem., and the
gloriouß institutions of our country.
Yours, respectfully, G. M. S.

Public Entertainments*
New Chestnut Street Theatre.— The bills
of this theatre inform us that Miss Hosmer has
purchased the sole right to the production of Ma
tilda Heron’s version of “ Camille.” This is good,
both for Matilda Heron and Miss Hosmer. “ Ca
mille,” which was performed last evening, is the
best character in whioh Miss Hosmer has yet ap
peared. It is difficult to fix upon any one play
which shall present an entirely unknown actress
in the moßt favorable light. It is certain that
Juliet is not a fair exponent of Miss Hosmer’s
powers. Her performance last evening of the
arduous rdle of CamiUe elicited the most genu- v
ine applause which has been won during her
performance.: To say that Miss Hosmer’s rendi
tion is superior to that of Miss Heron (great as this
actress’s power, properly developed, might beoome),
would be hut seant praise. The audience were
thoroughly pleased throughout. In the CamiUe of
Miss Hosmer nolndelioacy, no effrontery marred
the beauty of the representation. Although the
play of “Camille” is a theatrical, ratherjthan a
dramatic production, yet the characteristics of the
class of which Camille Is the exponent are universal,
and appeal to the sympathies of the universal
heart. If she always plays as well as she did last
night, Miss Hosmer’s CamiUe will be the next best
to that of Mrs. D. P. Bowers. Miss Hosmer de
veloped last night a passionateness, a tenderness, for
which the public were unprepared. Her audiences are
ready to acknowledge her ability in stormy scenes,
but they have not done justice as yet to her portrayal
of soft and sweet emotions. If Miss Hosmer wishes
to gain the good will of an equally criticising public,
she will do well to make her first appearance in
“Camille.” She has shown herself to be the best
new actress whom the West has sent us. As a
young artiste, hailing ftom Kansas, shels an abun
dantly entertaining novelty, and give* promise of
entertaining not by the novelty of voice, but by the
perennial novelty of talent.
Her old faults are still too apparent. She sets her
teeth too much; she spoils scenes which might be
mOBt effective by degenerating into rant. But she
is so much better than what we had reason to ex
pect that her faults are sunk In her excellencies.
Her other, good qualities consist in dressing .with
taste, and always appearing to act at her very best.
Saturday evening is the occasion of her last ap
pearance, when we believe she essays the character
of MrSi Hatter, in the “Stranger.”
Mr. McCullough was an unusually good Armani.
Like praise is to be accorded to Mr. Ringgold as
Gai/tm, and Mrs. Grattan as Madame Prudence. The
rest of the characters were so-so.

[BOB ADDITIOKAX. OITV NEWS, BEE VOHRTH HAGB.J
Outrages on the Highway.—William
Eckels and Samuel Hunter were arraigned, on
Tuesday night, before Alderman Allen, in the 24th
ward,-on the charge of riotous conduct, malicious
mischief, and committing an assault and battery on
Mr. Montgomery, coal dealer on the Darby road.
The facts, as developed by the evidence, are that
during the fire at tbe Gray’s Ferry Bridge, on
Wednesday of last week, the West Philadelphia
Steam Engine Company (not the hose company of
the tame name), proceeded to the Are. While on
the way, some of the party running in com
pany w lth the engine amused themselves by annoy
ihg a number of country people, who were driving
homeward. One of the countrymen piled the whip
pretty severely to one or two of the parties, where
upon he was beset by a crowd. He took refuge in
the coal office of Mr. Montgomery. Mr. M. came
out and remonstrated with the party, whereupon
Eckels committed an assault and battery upon him.
Mr. M. defended himself, knocked Eckels down,
and Injured his head considerably. The assailants
finally left, and proceeded towards the fire, some of
. them muttering they would have satisfaction out
of him, they would batter or burn down his place
before twelve o’clock that night.
Mr. Montgomery proceeded to West Philadelphia
to obtain warrants for the arrest of the party, but
before he got back the fire was put out, and the
company, with the engine, returned.
Samuel Hunter had the horn; he halted the en
gine in front of the coal office and dwelling of Mr.
Montgomery. A party obtained a "heavy pole, bat
tered in tbe door of the office. Two little boys, who
were left in care of the place, were frightened nearly
unto death. Hunter kicked the door off'the stove,
then overturned it, and the hot coals set fire to the
wood work. The stove was pushed out bn the front
platform; and the fire was ignited here also. The
rioters had everything their own way. They de
parted, leaving the place on fire. A number of wo
men in the neighborhood brought huokets audhaslns
of water, and extinguished the flames before they
had obtained much headway. Of all the persons
alleged to have been engaged in this work, the
' above named defendants are;the only two that have
been arrested. ' They were bound over in the sum of
$6OO to answer at court. .. .
Chief Lyle, of the Fire Department, will make a
full investigation ol the affair, aB he is authorized to
do under the law in such cases.
Col. Ballier’s Regiment.— A meeting
of the friends of the 98th Regiment Pennsylvania
Volunteer*, Colonel Bailie?, was held, last evenings
at the Northern Military Hall. Mr. Frederick Ditt

acted aa secretary. The president stated that three
fourths of the regiment had re-enlisted again, and
they would all return in a few days for a month’s
furlough* ‘ Committees were then appointed to settle
the details for the reception of the regiment.' The
Nicetown Hoapital band offered their services for
the occasion, which were accepted. Another com
mittee wbb appointed to obtain ambulances for the
purpose of carrying the disabled soldiers, end also
to request the firemen to join in. It is expected that
all the German societies In the,city will participate
in the reception. The meeting then adjourned.
