.g4t ti,lrtss 'SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1864 Aar We can take no notice of anonymotu aommn. nications. We do not return redacted manutoripte. Jair-Tolentary correspondence solletted from all parts of the world, and especially from our different military and naval departments. When used, it will .be paid for. Preparations for the New Campaign. After the last shock of arms, whose one great result was the victory of Chattanooga, we have an interim of satisfaction. Both sides of the field are more willing than usual to rest arms, and the reasons are plain. The Eolith, too fierce in pursuit of victory, has for awhile sunk exhausted from the re coil of defeat. Rest was more necessary to the South than anything else, and yet recent events have proved it to be more dangerous than war. T he rebel leaders are compelled by the pressure of a despera4on which will not submit, to ask for the last man and the last penny to sustain their armies. And yet rest Was necessary for the Pouth. They could fight no longer, and are reduced to that predicament that to prolong the strug gle is as bad as to give it up. It the pro longation of hostilities Was daugeromi rest and inaction are fatal. They breed and en courage opportunities for discontent. The 'south cannot afford to fight, they cannot afford to be idle. Whatever they do they involve themselves in a scrape which it is easier to get into than out of But it is not so with the North. If it be true that we are more willing than usual to rest, it may be that we are more willing than usual to give the rebellious home faction ample opporta nity for reflection. We .9uld by no means undervalue the South, A riovervalue the North. .Nof a few of us 't i . - a done that before to-day,- and we have;-; ed the ',consequences of such im prude - - The South, having resisted for so long, Islll doubtless continue to resist, however feeble be the hands which rebellion upholds. 'United and steadfast action then is required from us as a people. Such ac tion being rendered, the result may be an immediate demolition of the Confederacy. Our preparations are working. We are ad vancing surely, and not slowly toward the work. The measures of Congress interpret the voice of the people. Every fresh law that is passed is an invincible battery op posed to rebellion, and hems in the traitors of the South just as surely as our armies have done and will do in the field. The "fortunes of war " is a phrase often used, but by no means worn threadbare. At the close of this last campaign the fortune of war decided inour favor. Inspirited by pasttouccesses, energized afresh by the de spondency of the all but vanquished South, Ave cannot but look forward to- the coming campaign with sensations of the most ex alted hope. Allowing for all the accidents of war, we cannot believe that the events of the next few months will leave us worse than they find us. Conservatism. The Hon. Jonx Mixon BOTTS, or Vir ginia, is, by no means, an ordinary man. Surrounded by the rebellion, he has pre served his loyal convictions intact, and throughout all the vicissitudes of the war this brave old gentlem j an has had a steadfast, philosophic, obstinate faith in the ultimate triumph of the Union. He has borne his part alone, and, an exile even among his own countrymen, has had only his con scientious self-approval and self reliance to comfort and support him. This one man has alone confronted the rebel Government, and not even his enemies can impeach his sterling honor and integrity. Lately he de dined the Senatorship offered to him by the loyal people of Virginia, preferring to bide that certain time when he "lay be able to aid in healing the animosities of the two sections." The following is a notable part of the summary of his recent letter to the Hon. G. S. SMITH, Treasurer of the Vir ginia State Government : "In a conversation with Mr. Botts he stated that never for a single instant during this war has 'he doubted the final result, His opinion of General iticOlellan is not At all somplimentsry to that gen. tleman, !whom be regards, if not positively disloyal at heart, at least in the light of an ambitious aspi rant for un4leserviog honors. Mr. B. stated that he be lieved that the majority of the rebel army regarded McClellan as being as truly devoted to their interests as Robt. E. Lee, and that amen who would not,when his namewas used in connection with Davis,Vallan digham, Wood, and others of the same political complexion, come out boldly and disclaim the also sistion, was totally unfit to be commander of a Union Army. Mr. B. says that of all the promises made to the Southern people by the leaders of Se cession, only one may possibly be fulfilled. The promise referred to is the one Of Mr. '1 oombs, of Georgia, who, it will be remembered, said he would yet call the roll of his slaves at the foot of Bunker 11111 Monument. Mr. B. thinks that if President Lincoln will collect the slaves of Mr. Toombs and permit him to visit the North, the prophecy may be fulfilled." We beg to compare this opinion of a southern Conservative, after the loyal heart, with the amusing, but extraordina.ry letter of Gen. lricCD - a/ALAN to the President, July 7, 1862: Neither confiscation of property, political exe cottons of prisoners, territorial organizations of States, or forcible abolition of slavery should be contemplated for a moment. * * * 'Unless the principles governing the future conduct of our struggle ehalY be made known and approved, the effort to obtain requisite forces will be almost hope less. A deeleration of radical views, especially upon slavery. will rapidly disintegrate our present armies.. Unquestionably, there is a great differ ence between the conservatism, which pre fers exile in Virginia to that which is sent to Trenton and Canada. Secession Seceding. The tooth-and-nail conscription act down South is raising a " rebellion" in North Carolina. The papers will not hear of it, neither will the people. Some journals say, indeed, that the South must lay down her arms unless the measures are agreed to But these journals are borne down by the assertions of a press which is becoming the almoat unanimous voice of the people. North Carolina sees through these last struggles of the rebel Congress. She is as serting herself in asserting the cause of the Union. She understands the meaning of the wail which has gone forth from the whole South, and is anxious 'to return to the Union she once rejected. Nor will North Carolina be alone. The secession from &casino, which has been begun within her borders will spread through all the dis affected States, and reunite them to us once again. < .

Vallandigham a Petitioner in the Supreme Court. A question affecting the banishment of CLEMENT V.A.XI.ASTAIGHAM osme before the Supreme Court of the 'United States to-day. It was original, as porte, VALLANDICIFIAM being the petitioner. The motion for a writ of certiorari to the Judge Advo cate General was argued by ex• Senator POOH in support of, and was submitted on a printed argil. meat by Col. HOLT, Judge Advocate General, In op• position thereto. The Tax on Whisky. There has been no further action by Congress on the question of a tax on whisky than was reported to the press yesterday. The amendment Offered by FERwAnDO Woon, and adopted, shows the true state of the case as regard' that article. It is as follows : Prorhied further, That MI spirits on hand for sale, whether distilled prior to the date of this cot or not, shell be subjected to the raters of duty provided by this act, from and after the 12th day or July, 1661 except that spirits which have been already taxed under the law approved July I, 1862, 'hall not bear more than the additional or Increased tax provided by the act. There ban been no action on the question es yet today. Arkansas. The Arkansas delegation have had another in terview with the President, who, in answer to their propositions, expressed his intention to adhere to the principles as stated in his Message and Proola mation, and his hope that they might be able to comply with the same. The statements made by the declaration are to the effect that the free popula-- Son of the State is 324,025; slaves, 111,116; total, 415.440. In thirty counties, which have always been in favor of the a'solition of slavery, the population ee, 167,1fi1; AlliVe, 13,690. The delegation have come on, not so much to press the matter as to con- sult with the authorities. Departete a of the Ohio.

Tobacco. The Committee of Ways and Means will probably lay an increased tax on manufactured tobacco, rather than on leaf. Nearly all the delegations before the committee urge this view. - Five-Twenty Bonds. No more BVe4Wenty bends Will be issued at pre sent, and probably not at all. It is generally be• lieved here that new bond's, running from ten to forty years, will be next homed by Kr. Chase, though the point is not decided. The Exchange. The matter of an exchange of prisoners is al far from a satbfactory solution as ever. NORTH CAROLINA. A CONTENTION CALLED FOR SECESSION FROM THE CONFEDERACY, GOVERNOR 'VANCE A UNIONIST. BOSTON, Tam 22.—A correspondent of the TraVa. ler, writing from Nembern, N. C., states that formation had reached there that a call had been issued at Raleigh for a State Convention for the purpose of seceding from their allegiance to the Southern Confederacy. The writer says that Governor Vance and nearly every leading man of North Carolina desires to re turn to the Union. He also say' "An army of 0,000 men, under Gen: Butler, could march to Raleigh, take possession of the capital, and free the State from the rule of the traitors in one month's time. Such an army would receive an enthusiastic welcome there and all along the line of march. So say men who know."

Hill, a railroad conductor, charged with embezzling the funds of the Reading Railroad Company, was brought to a dose to-day. The forenoon was occu pied with the arguments of conned, when the judge charged the jury, who immediately returned a ver dict of guilty, being absent from the box but a few minutes. The court houae has been crowded each day, as Mr. 11.1.11 was well known, and had a large number of friends, many of whom were from New Jersey. Mr. CI:E. Smith, president of the Reading Rail road, testified that, believing that the company was being robbed to a large amount, he applied to Mr. J. Edgar Thompson, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, who recommended the employ ment of Allen Pinkerton, of the National Police Agency, Chicago whose detectives were upon the ' road three months, at the end of which time twenty three conductors were reported upon, the delin quents all mhking restitution except Mr. Hill, hence the criminal prosecution, upon which he has been convicted. The principal witness for the defence Was Mr. Sterns, superintendent of the New Jersey Central road, whose testimony was very conflicting and contradictory, and was t decided by the judge in his charge. Sterna' te a ony showed that he had furnished Hill with money to the amount of $l,OOO to Conduct his defence. The•penalty for Hints offence is three years' or less imprisonment. The Hon. John C.

Destruction of Rebel Blockade Runners. OPERATIONS IN MATAGORDA BAA Captures in the Blockade off Wllmlngtoi WABBINGTON, Jan. 22,—0n the 20th of December last, the schooner Fox, tender to the United States flag ship San Jacinto, Emit Gulf Squadron, destroy. ed in the Suwanee river, Florida, a rebel steamer, supposed to be the Little Leila, formerly the Paw. Paw, and * before the Flushing. She was set Lire to by a boat , ' crew belonging to the Fox. On the 21eit of December, the same vessel captured the British schooner .Edward, from Havana, oft the mouth of the Suwanee river. The cargo consisted of salt and lead. On the tame day, the U. S. steamer Sunflower captured 'off Tampa Bay the rebel sloop Hancock, from Havana, loaded with salt, borax, & c. On the 4th of January the United Stater steamer Tioga captured off the southwest point of Great Bahama Island a schooner, name not given, loaded with nit, BOOM, cone, and cigars. She claimed to be bound from Nassau to Havana, but when discovered was about eighty-five miles north of the port of clearance, and standing directly for the blockaded ( coast above Indian river. Commander J. H. Strong, of the U. S. steamer Monongahela, reports that, on the 29th of Decem ber, at the request of Gen. Washburne, he sent the U. S. steamers Granite City and Sciota up the pe ninsula off the entrance of Matagorda Bay, Texas, with Gen. Barroom and 100 troops to cut off the rebel pickets. While the Sclota was absent on a reconnoissance at the mouth of Brazes river, troops which bad been landed were attacked by a force of 800 or 1000 cavalry, but were defended by the Gra nite City, whioh fired one hundred and forty rounds before the enemy was driven off. On the return of the Sciota, the Granite City Went down to Pass Cavallo and brought up the Monongahela and Penobscot, falling in with the United States gun boat Estrella on her way back. On their arrival they found that' the cavalry had made several at tacks during the night, but had been kept off by the &doter, which anohored close inro the breakers, and shelled 011 either Iliac or the troops. During the day a rebel steamer on,thejiisitle Came close and shelled our troops out of theitr z position, forcing them to re treat down the berich:. The Sciota, Granite City, and Estrella were sent in closet° the shorcf to protest the troops during the night, and &norther coming on the next MOT ning, the rebel steamer was discovered ashore—probably driven in by the gale. - The weather prevented steaming in to destroy he r during the day, but on going in the next morning, she was found to have been destroyed by fire. Amer throwing a 200 pound rifle shell at the wreak, to ascertain it any persons still remained there, Commander Strong returned to Pass Cabello, and found that the &iota, Granite City and Estrella, having succeeded in getting the troops on board, had brought them. At daylight, January 11th, a steamer was seen beached and burning near Lockwood's Folly Inlet, west of Cape Fear river, North Caro lina. On being boarded, with the loss of one man from the fire of the sharpshooters on shcire, her log book was secured, from which it appears she was the Banger, from New Castle via Bermuda. On the loth of January she made our coast and landed her passengers, and the next morning, at daylight, being intercepted by the flagship Minnesota and three other blockaders, in her approach to the Western bar, she was beached and fired by her crew. The attempt to extinguish the fire, and haul the vessel being frustrated by the enemy's sharp. shooters, the blockading vessels were brought as near as possible to the shore, and fire opened to dialodge them, It being found impossible to save the Ranger, she was also tired into until she was burned completely out. Mean while a black smoke rising further westward, the Aries proceeded there, but soon return ed, and reported a fine.looking double propel ler blockade runner, ascertained to be the Vesta, beached and on fire, and that sharp. shooters on shore prevented boarding her. This was supposed to be the one chased the previous evening by the Quaker City, Tusearora;and Keystone State, and that, communicating with the shore, and hear ing of the presence of the blocliaders in tone, and, perhaps, being abort of coal, she was beached by her Grew, and fired rather than be captured. In re. porting this, Admiral Lee remarks; the Department will perceive that this is the twentybeecond steamer lost by the rebels and the blookadehrunners at. tempting to violate the blockade ott Wilmington, within the last six months—an average of nearly one steamer every eight days. These losses must greatly lessen the means of the rebel authorities to export cotton, obtain suppliee, and sustain their credit, and thus dispirit and weaken them very much. A subsequent report states that the latter of the two vessels above mentioned was boarded on the 12th of January, under cover of the gunboats Yankee, Currituck, Anacosta, Tulip, and Jacob, Bell, of the Potomac flotilla. Gen. Marston landed forte of cavalry and infantry on the Peninsula, between the Potomac and itappanannock river, and succeeded in capturing a small body of the ene my and a large number of cavalry horsea.

Nnw Yon)", Jan. 24.—The steamers Creole and George Washington have arrived, with New Or leans dates of the 16th and 16th inst. They bring very little news. General 'Banks , proclamation was the chief topic of conversation in New Means, and it is much commended by.loyal men. The most prominent name in connection with the Governorship of the State, is that of Thos. J. Du rant, an eminent lawyer and staunch loyalist. The weather in New Orleans was fine. Gen. Grover'a division has been ordered to 'Madi sonville, the town recently captured on the north aide of Lake Ponchartrain. Gen. Dana bag been ordered to Matagorda Bay, and Gen. Herron to Brownsville. P. S. Gillmore, of Boston, arrived on the 15th, by the steamer Mississippi, with two bands for Gen. Andrews' division. The steamer Melville had arrived at Wow Orleans from Xatamoras with 390 bales of cotton. Another revolution had occurred at Matamaros. Ruiz took charge of the city on the lit of January. He was to resign the Next• day, and the names of three persons were to be presented to the Supreme Government, out of whom to .seleot a Governer. None of them were to be persons who had taken part in the pending questions. Col. Rojas is to be prefect of the atty. Capietran to command the troops which are to march against the French at Tampico, with Cortina" aoraecond tn command. All Ws of henna, Including the forced loan, are approved by Governor Ruir. A letter from Pass Cabello, Texas, gives further particulars of the action between Lieutenant Colonel HeintelUzie and one hundred of the lath Missouri Regiment, assisted by the gunboats Granite City and Scioto. They fully confirm what hen already been telegraphed. The rebel gunboat which WAS burned was the J. G. Carr. A Brownsville letter reports that the Some forced loan is to be made on foreigners as well as on Mexicans, including from Americana, one of whom has been imprisoned for refusing to make an ad vance of gio,ooo. He subsequently paid the money under protest. General DMA Wall Informed of the proceedings, and promptly notified the Mexican au thorities that indignities to American citizens would not be tolerated, and it would be his best policy to return the funds. He had, it appears, exacted fonds from three other Mexican citizens, who had paid their assessments without protest. General Dans then took possession of the ferry boats at Browns vine and Freeport, and bad a force drawn up and provided with two days , rations, preparatory to bu siness, but Berns immediately repaid the borrowed Money. The Texas regiments are Ming up rapidly. Col. Davis , and 001. Davao , cavalry regiments have each 1,100 men. The expedition to Roma, which has been absent a month, captured a considerable quantity of cotton and three cotton agents. General tterron, on the 2d inst., relieved General Dana, who assumes commend at Matagorda. Phil change was ordered previdle to the above-named affair with Seam. General V ashburne is a pas:tenger in the Clahawba which loft New Orleans in company with the G. Washington, for New York. Ele war relieved by General Dana. MNXICO. The Retreat of the Juartati. SAN FRANCISCO, Tan. 21.—A Letter from Guada lajara of the sth inst., sOntradits the Mexican news received from Havania via the overland telegraph. It states that the French, numbering 5,000, under Bazaine, occupied Zapotlan on the 4th inst., without opposition. The people kept quiet, many of the wealthy Mexicans haying previously left. Ufsga, with 5,000 Mexicans, was prepared to make a Stand on the mountain defiles leading to Colima. It was reported that Gen. Bszaine would not advance to wards Colima, but would open his way to some port en the Pacific, the latter being a Most important' undertaking, considering his distance from Vera Crum and the impracticability of getting supple. thence. Should the reports be confirmed that Taira - mon had been beaten at OaDeja, and that Dios had driven the French from Orizaba, the result of Dazaine'S campaign Would be problematical. Juarez was at Zacatecas, where Doblado had as sembled a large army, where the French would pro• bably meet a more resolute defence than elsewhere west of the city of Mexico. The traitor Gen. Mejta, called by the Mexicans the murderer Of ComOnfot, had compled San Luis Potott, and Notate, and, in endeavoring to recapture the plane, was deeperately defeated. NASSMI.

His Honor C. Godfrey Gunther, Mayor of the City of New York; Sin : Having been advised on Saturday evening that more troops were expected in the city on their return from the army, I directed Captain Frank E. Rowe, of the quartermaatres Department, and a member of my staff, to take possession of. the Park Barracks, as a matter of military necessity, and to have them thoroughly cleansed and 'whitewashed, so as to be in readiu..ss for use this morning. Yo u . are aware that the gallant men who are returning from the army have, after years of toil, exposure, and danger, re enlisted, and are prepard to sustain the honor of the country and the integrity of the Union to the last. In consideration of their re engagement, the Government has given them leave to return for a few weeks, durieg the suspension of active military operations, to their friends and their homes. All that a grateml country can do should be done to make this respite from the labors and permottiO MOW and battle Held pleasant to them, and am confident that you and the members of the Common Council will approve of ther course I have taken, with a view to prepare a suitable place for the comfortable reception of the regi ments Which arrive here on their passage through the city. The Park Barracks, as you know, do not belong to the United States. It is uf indispensable tin. portanoe to the public service, and to the comfort of the troops going to or returning from the field, that the Government should have barracks in the city subject to its own control.

The Senate was not in Beads= to-day, having ad. "ourned over until Monday. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The Internal Revenue Bill. The noose proceeded to the consideration of the hill to inereaSe the internal revenue, and agreed to the amendments reported from the (imamraw of the Whole on the State of the Union. Prospective Taxation. Mr. STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, offered a sub stitute for the amended bill. Re said it was similar to the bill as originally renorted from the Committee of Ways and Means, but making more distinct the feature, the tax of sixty cents per gallon on spirits shall be levied on • that which may be distilled and cold, or distilled and removed for sale, after the 12th day of Sammy, 1864. He said the legislators of '62, when the internal tax system was inaugurated, after a free and full discussion, distinctly declared that all our taxes should be prospective. This prin ciple was decided by those who, at that time,,had control of the legislation of Congress. They,had a right to suppose that that was the policy of the country, and to depart from it now, by adhering to the amendments agreed to to-day, would bee-ann. in justice to those who had governed themselves by this principle. The Housethen voted on and rejected the substi tute by a vote of 100 to 61. The bill, as amended, was then passed by a vote of 87 yeas to 68 nays, as follows : Aller. Allison, Ames. Anderson.

NO drawback shall, in any case, be allowed on distilled spirits, upon which an excise duty shall have been paid either before or after it shall have been placed in a bonded warehouse, as aforesaid. But no provision of this act shall be construed to repeal existing laws which provide that distilled spirits may be removed from the place of manufac ture or bonded warehouses, for the purpose of being redistilled for exportation, or which provides for the manufacture for exportation of medicines, compost time, perfumery, and cosmetics. The fourth section provides that from and after the passage of this act, in lieu of the duties here tofore levied, there shall be paid on all cotton pro duced, or sold and removed for consumption, and upon which no duty has been paid, a duty of two cents per pound, provided that on all cotton on which the duty of a half cent has been paid the addl. tional duty of one and a half cents shall be levied and collected, and provided further, that all pro visions of law whereby cotton, in the hands of manu facturers of cotton fabrics on October Ist, 1862, and prior thereto, is exempted from taxation, are hereby repealed, and the same shall be suhjected to the rate of taxation imposed by this act ; and provided, that from and after the, passage of this bill, in addi tion to the duties heretofore imposed by law, there shall be levied, collected, and 'paid on all spirits distilled from grain or other ma terials, whether American or foreign production, or imported from foreign countries, if first-proof, a duty of forty cents on each and every gallon, and no lower rate of duty shall be levied or collected than upon the basis of firseproof, and it shall be increased in proportion for any greater strength than the strength of first-proof, and that upon all such spirits imported prior to the passage of this act, there shall be levied, collected, and paid, an additional tax of forty cents per gallon, to be collected under and according to regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.

Amendments to the Cana/mention Act . - • • Theliouse then resumed the consideration of the joint resolution amendatory or the confiscation act. Mr. SPATJLDING, of Ohio, indicated an amend ment he intends to oiler, that no proceeding - shall woik any forfeiture of the real &date of the offender contrary to the prevision of the Constitution.- Be expiesied bis views in favor of the confiscation, declaring that he had more respect for the open and armed traitor in the field than their sympathizers. He was in favor of compelling the rebels to submit. If this could not be done he would drive them late expatriation—if not that, then 'into extermination. Mr. STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, denied that the Constitution has the least reference to . any of the provisions of the pending resolution. he for. failure of estate, in lee was purely a ng under the laws of war and of nations% Mott the Constitution has no control or effect tever. The property of alien enemies is to be seized and treated ea enemy's property. The rebels had risen to a separate Government, having been recognized as a belligerent, not only by foreign nations, but by our own. So far as they are concerned, they are absolved from the guarantees of the tlonatibition• Whichever nation COD qUere has a right to treat the other as a conquered province. They are in the at titude of foreign nations. These points he illus trated. If a State, as a State, make war and be• come a belligerent Power, we can, when we cOnquer it. treat it as we would any other foreign nation. And this is not a question under, but outside of the Constitution. By the laws of war the conqueror may seize and convert to his own use everything belonging, to the enemy, and sell it to pay the ex penses of war and the damages occasioned by _it. As the Confederate States have voluntarily thrown themselves out of the provisions of the CleMitith non, and placed themselves under the law" of na two% it is our duty to knock oe every shackle front every limb.

They were employed at Clamp Dennison until the hospitals there were systematized ; they then went to New Creek, Va., and Cumberland, Md. During Pope's campaign they followed Sigel's corps in the ambu lances. After the battle of Stone river they went to Nashville and took charge of Hospital 14, capa ble of accommodating 700 or 800.

But if the Sisters leave I know n shall die," and adds : " this is the feeling of every sick soldier now under their care." SENATOR DAVIS, OF lilerrnOtrv.-Iflx. Davis is not a poor speaker, by any means, though from the inva riable length of his addresses, he has obtained the reputation of being unbearably artesian as a member of the Senate. In stature, he is below the medium height. He is hardly, if not quite seventy years of age, and his physical powers are rapidly failing. His voice is harsh and squeaking, so that his efforts partake of the nature of an old man's scold, rather than a deliberate, thoughtful opinion upon the sub. ject at issue. His language Is usually well chosen,. and be is prone to similes, which are aoraelmes very good., He strike. one as a man who, in his day— nOW long past—had been an impressive and able speaker. Tie pis:Amoco to be a 'Union man—in favor of putting down the rebellion by force of arms.

Oa the accession of Mr. Lincoln, he received, by universal consent, a most responsible and satisfactory potation in the Revenue Departsaent, which he now resigns to resume his connection with the Tribune for two reasons ; first, because we have invited him to do so, and second, because he prefers this to any official position whatever.

Mr. John W. Hicks acted as chairman, and Mr. William Smith as secretary. It was then suggested that a committee be appointed for the purpose of nominating permanent officers for the organization, which was coincided in. The committee was then chosen, Who recommended the following gentlemen as officers : President, John W. Hicks ; vice presi dent, E. E. Cleary; secretaries, William Smith and Richard George. An executive committee of one from each precinct, with full power to act for the citizens, was also recommended. These gentlemen were all unanimously elected. • The president then made a few remarks, stating that the quota of the ward was about two hundred, and it would require at least five dollars from each citizen as a subscrin• tion. On motion a committee of fi ve well appointed for the purpose k collecting funds from those pre sent. They succeeded in obtaining six hundred and six dollars in cask, and subscriprtions to the amount of one hundred and fitty.seven dollars.

PHILADELPHIA, JAIL 22,1864 The last day of the five twenty loan will long be re ' membered by Philadelehiann for the large crowd at the office of the agent, eager to seenre a portion of it, and the heavy orders which came flashing over she wire-, and which considerably overreached the limit of live hun dred million dollars. This result is so immense a triumph of the great cause, that we have to congratulate the connt,y upon the unparalleled &MOBS of a loan the popularity of which absorbed so enormous an am mut of money. In a time of war, while defiance is still being 'hurled into our teeth by the braggart South. and the long page of woful history is still expan ding our domes tic sorrows, a loyal people have offered- their eanntrY over eight hundred millions of their money for a right eous purpose. Setting aside the mere idea of interest. thie action becomes sublime. esPeeiallY When, we re member the combined efforts made by disloyal p s ties to deprecate Government securities. Bat it is not only as a national triumph that we are proud of the last days of the five- twenties. We have a locil pride, which has been gratified, and we fel an old- fashioned pleasure in recording the fact that Phi was chosen as the propsr city for the negotia tion of a popular loan. The arrangements made for the distribution of it, throughout the laid. were - eo perfect that perhapa failure was impossible, while the ai doom labors of tbei agent to point out and keep before the peo ple the adVantagee of it, were so aptly fitted to the °a ctuateu that few loyal inert had the courage to predict a White. TO-day, miles were made orahird Street at 101, which 'shows that the desire for them is not yet ex hausted. and that confidence is still flaming up among the people. Isis not definitely 'decided What is to be done with the surplus subscriptions, but those cannot complain if they are left out when they have had the opportunity to subscribe formover half a year. An idea prevails that Secretary Chase will prepare to issue ten forty bonds on the same terms as the five-twenties This may be the case, but the probabi Mee are that he will depend more immediately upon the Jamie of five per cent. legal-tenders.- When a sufficient amount is dietrl buted he may offer the ten•forties at a lower rate of in terett, say five per cent for any of the aegal tender at par. This course will save the financial community from cont.' actions which would be damaging to their PrusVerltY, and create a hemthfal feeling on all sides. Gold fluctuated widely to day, selling at one time up to 168 and down to 158 U—closing at the latter. Govern ments stiffened up. and better prices demanded.

CITY ITIECIIIIII. The Girard (Copper) Mining Company of Michigan. The Girard mine property company nix hundred acres—one square mile—less forty urns off the N. W. corner. Of its geographical location, facilities, and advantages, Mr. A. B. Wood, geologist and mining engineer, says : "It lies three miles from Copper Harbor in. a south east direction, from which it may be approached by a good railroa d' grade. To the south, the eastern portion of Bete Grin Bay. can be reached in. a' mile and a half over a good grade for a wagon road, formed through the ridge, of. which M't Houghton forms a part, by the deep break of one of the prom', nent veins that cross the property. The cost of transporting freights to and from the mine will thus be comparatively small, a matter of great import anise in carrying on a mine. - "The surface of the property's well adapted to mining purposes- The drainage la good and the rock easily exposed. There is a heavy growth of 'timber for fuel and for the manufacture of lumber. The Montreal river traverses the property in a southeast direction, and affords ample water power, which can be easily appropriated for all purposes of sawing lumber and stamping- mineral. " The property is wholly located on the great Mineral Range, mostly on that portion which lies beneath and to the south of the Orystallipe Trap,' and usually held in highest estimation as mining ground?, Our main purpose, however, is not to quote Mr. Wood, but to furnish the strong and confirmatory testimony of W. B Stevens, Beq., who has long re sided near the Girard site, who is ripe in his expe rience in mining matters, and at home among the facts noted in the subjoined extract of his letter, dated December re; 1863, addressed to B. A. Hoopes, Esq., Secretary and Treasurer Girard Xining Com pany. The extract reads : " There are four impOrtant points that command Mr earliest attention : Ist. The Copper Harbor group of veins that cross ';your estate near the centre. There are no /ma than four large well-de, iced true fissure veins crossing the 1 3 . reenstone, which, judging from surface appear. armee, concentrate to one master lode upon your estate,, or al least one or more master lodes antinue.ttkratigh. 144 - estate., At the point where it must be opened, the - depth of soil is uncertain and wet, hence you, must 'be well prepared to work through bad ground, be fore undertaking it. The promising prospect is such that the ground must be proven. 2d. The Star vein which crosses your estate, near the west boundary, end has boon opened in cloppsop. creek, is full two and a half feet in width, well: walled, and, in every particular, constituted a true fissure veinaand contains pure stamp' copper. Work may be commenced upon this vein M any time, without any serious obstruction. fourthark vein mosses the estate from one onesthial of a mile east of the west bound ary At points it may be opened without mush dill,. culty or expense. At other pyinta, upon the loiter and more productive rocks which have been scored down deep, it may be more difficult, bet nothing very serious. 4th. The Pennock vein occurs near the east bound ary of — the estate; where opened in the exposed compact rocks it is a splendid show. 3i compares well with the beat discovery Made upon .the range for years. But, like the other vein. Won thi came ranee, it must be traced south into the lowlands where the rocks are softer and more. eongenial to copper where they'are generally covered not only with a dense forest, but with diluvial deposit vary. Jog from I, 2, a, to 30 or 40 feet in depth: There are several other veins of less promise at the surface; at the same time they may prove.-of great value in depth. The Amygdaloid lodes are, numerous and early copper. One of im_portange, has been opened on the west bank of the Montreal river abOut one /math of a mile below the new house, Which com mends attention." Of later date than the foregolea extracts, and ofx concurrent statement of fact and opinion, we add below an extract of a letter dated " Star Kink". (which abuts upon girard), December 25, He; writ. ter by D. S. Chili* Esq., Axel:* Star Copper (Join pany. addressed to a friend now in this city. Bar. OM Ma says : " The Girard nrourty is a very flue iltdatial for a mine •it it welj timbered, and has the same water power for the cheep working of the stamps that we nave on the ST.A.A. And from the examination I made last summer of the rocks on the Girced loos. 'lion, and from the show of copper in the veins run ning aerate it, which are already opened, I need not extend my vision far through the portal to, the fu ture, to eceLss a logical,sequence (if workupon it be vigorously - pushed), tha Girard a promising mine, with a maim operation adequate to stamp all the. mineral which can be Liken out of the veins upo the estate.
