Vuess. FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1864. Jell Davis and the spring Campaign. supposing at the first set-to, JEFF DAVIS nnd his merry men had utterly demolished the Union ; supposing he had entered Washington in triumph, with President Lmeoric And the Cabinet in the rear of his triumphal chariot ; supposing he had torn down the White House, and built one equal to his Richmond palace ; supposing he had pluvlitd up our Congress by the roots, and organized a Confederate Senate and IT mse of Representatives ; supposing he was in a condition to provide Mrs. DAVIS with new. dresses all the year round ; supposing he could afford to live on plum-puddings in December, and on water-ices in July ; sup posing, in a word, he was JEFF DAVIS at the top of the ladder, instead of JEFF DAVIS at the bottom ; it is exhilarating to reflect ]iow much more cause he would have for good spirits in the commencement of the spring campaign. The opportunity to reflect and reform is one of the few advantages which can accrue to the South from the present inaction. Their physical powers remaining idle, and their physical resources drained to the very last drop, perhaps their mental and moral facul ties will find ample room for energy. Al far as their preparations for the new cam paign go, indeed, there is very much for them to do ; but very little that they can do. 'Whatever preparations they would like to make are not the objects of our present con sideration. It is not what they can do and will do, but rather what they cannot do and will not do, that we are to look at now. In the first place, it does not ap pear that they can raise an army. Such an army as they have at present is broken down and dispirited, half-fed and half-clothed. The clean Shave their drafts are making is taking off even the saplings and the withered branches. In the se- Cond place, allowing that they can mus ter an army, of respectable dimensions, A.OW are they going to put it in respectable condition ? How are they going to provide it with overcoats and shoes, to say nothing of caps, jackets, and trowsers ? They have, to be sure, an unaccountable prejudice in favor of United States clothing, ambulances, and teams, but they cannot expect to thrive forever on these involtuttary contributions. Again, how are the natural resources of the country to be cultivated ; how are business operations to be effected, if no males are leis behind to conduct them, except the maimed, the halt, and the blind ? Are these auspicious omens for the opening of the new campaign? still the question of the spring campaign is one which will not satisfactorily be an swered until, the spring campaign is over. IVe are aware that the rebel leaders are driven to the bounds of desperation, and that they will make one stupendous struggle for supiemacy. That struggle will be a life or death one. Everything in the social System will be rendered subservient to mili tary discipline, and it is not for us to shut our eyes to the fact that we shall have some thing to contend against. There is yet, - with Pll those counteracting influences to which we have adverted, something in the south to oppose us. And whilst it is plain that their resources are dwindling down to the lowest ebb, it is also evident that they will centralize and intensify their energies, as they have never done before, and oppose a resistance which all our energy should be summed to crush at once. The history of the Confederacy hitherto Speaks volumes in favor of Mr. Devil and Ids clique, truly ! What a wise set they are tiown in Richmond, after all ! How Mr. Davis holds the sympathies of the people. like a watch in his hand, and looks at them from time to time to see what's o'clock, and Whether - he is gaining or losing ! There is something the matter, too, with the North Carolina wheel, and he will have to carry it to another set of artificers than those at Richmond to get it set right In brief, JEFF DAVIS is like the cause he represents —he is getting played out. What would he be at, alter all ? Would he construct a re public of freedom upon a slavery founda tion I- He might as well expect to erect a granite building upon a •spider's web, or to float a ship upon a river's dried-up bed. No ! His arguments have not answered, and will net answer. One of the truths eliminated by this war is, that slavery cannot exist in our Republic. There is not breathing-space for it. The atmosphere is too bracing ;it must repair to some more torpid clime. Tt ars, and blood, and agony, and death Isve attended the elimination of this truth. Bet the doctrine has been set forth and held up before the eyes of-the world, and will seine day be universally accepted by it. At any rate, the North approve it now, and are speedily winning the South over to their view of the care. If the tiouth, however, are determined to maintain their darling sit, they , must look sharp and set to work in earnest, as best they can, to make the most out of the spring campaign. . If they expect to take the lead, they must even now be up and•doing. If they are go ing to be something more than merely de fensive, it is well that they should calculate the resources whence they shall draw, to efit'et successful raids. Georgia, and Ala bama, and t-outh. Carolina, will soon be all thatis left to them, for JEFF DAVIS seems to be preparing to abandon Virginia, rather than submit to Virginia's abandoning him. The intercommunications bet Ween LEE and LonosTurner, if each maintains, hie respec tive position, will soon come to a dead stop. Meantime, the extensive line of Southern defence is being rapidly rendered futile, the facilities hitherto provided by railroads be ing in a dying condition. The time is not far distant when JEFF DAVIS will be glad I to bundle his best clothes into his valise, bid i farewell to his Presidential mansion, and leave for parts unknown. 1 . WS GIVS thin advice to our readers Never be lieve anything yon read in the Republican nem papers unless you know it is true." This has always been the habit of the World, and a very bad habit it has proved - , for the vast extent of its ignorance has left it very little to believe. It laughed when we predicted the election of Governor CUR TEN ; it sneered when we said Governor SEYMOUR would be condemned by the State election last November; it will not now profit by experience and put faith in our assurance that the Union party will be tri umphant in the coming campaign. If the World only believes - what it knows of po litical truth, its creed can be put in -a nup. shell. We are satisfied with advising our readers to disbelieve only those things they know to be false in Opposition papers. We have no fears of their want of skepticism WE KNOW so. much of the sufferings of the loyal people of East Tennessee, sympa thize with their noble endurance so deeply, that the appeal to be made in their behalf this evening, at the Academy of Music, will undoubtedly be well answered. Were these - higher reasons for the success of the meeting wanting, the presence of General GANTT, and the remarkable interest attach ed to his bold repudiation of the rebellion, -would be an extraordinary attraction. The Committee have reduced the price of tickets to fifty cents in order to give all citizens and soldiers an opportunity of hearing Gen. GANTT and Hon. N. G. TAYLOR. The Meeting at the Academy To-Night. Our citizens will have a raretreatto-nightin hear ing General Gantt, of Arkansas, speak in behalf of the fund for the suite/113g and dying people of East Tennessee, and in listening to the painfully interest ing statements of the horrors of rebel rule In that district, by Monti Taylor. Either of these gentle men ought to attract a large audience, but the plea sure and novelty of listening to them both should fill the Academy. General Gantt is about 33 years of age, of fine personal appearance, a ready, off-hand speaker, a man of great iDnuence in his own State, and one Who may be regarded :kith° first fruits of the coming harvest of returning southern loyalty. HIM birth place was in Murray county., Tennessee., whence he elliligtated at the age 01.21 to Arkansas, where he awn took the filet rank at the bar. Re was brought tip in the Jackson and Polk school of politics, and was a member elect to the Congress of the United States when his State seceded. Carried away by the exaggerated dootrines of State rights current at the South, and the influence of ipeleonal and political association'', he allowed him. Cr if to be drawn into the whirlpool of the war, is t uich his intellectual powers and commanding ahility placed him at once in a prominent position, P e was made a brigadier general, and, while acting that capacity, he was captured by the Federal f. aces. While still a prisoner he wrote the ode b; ated address which appeared in November last, and which has had a wonderful effect in preparing the citizens of Arkansas for a return to the Union. Being above the rank of colonel, ha could not avail biniselfor the President's proclamation of amnesty but hie moral courage in thus coming out has met ire reward in a specie) pardon issued by the Presi dent ...urine the present month. Let the Union men of Philadelphia show him tonight that there is 'vs/1y more joy over one sinner that repenteth than over ninety and nine just persons that need no re pcntance. He now appears before the public for probably the only time in any of the large cities of the North, in answer to a pressing invitation of the friends of the muttering people of the eastern portion cf his native State. Col. Taylor, who will also speak tonight, is a na tive and resident citizen of East Tennessee, of the Stock of Gen. Zachary Taylor. He was educated in the Clay Webster school of American politica, appearing first in the Harrison campaign, and has been prominent as a public man on that aide over sense. He was a member of the Thirty-fourth Con gress, and distinguished himself by a celebrated speech against the repeal of the Missouri Compro mise, being one of the very few Southern Repre eentatives who took that side. In 1860 he and the Ron. Bailie Peyton were on the Bell Everett electo ral ticket for the State at large, and his speeches in that campaign in defence of the Union will compare favorably with those of the ablest statesmen of the age, tip to the last day before the State Of Tenney ace, by fraud and violence, was dragged out of the Union, Col. Taylor was found upon the hustings vindicating the cause of Union, and endeavoring to avert the threatened calamity. During the last two years he has remained quietly at home, in Centre county, Tennessee, in daily ap prehension of the halter and the prison, to which so many of his fellow-Union men were consigned, and 'e regret to say that his family arc yet within the rebel lines. Colonel Taylor comes on, at this time, to the East to represent the destitute, starving, and naked condition of his people, over whose territory both armies have repeatedly passed, leaving desola ton in their track. We hope that the citizens of ti is city and State will preserve, at this time, their vc ell-known reputation for liberality and humanity. Let: us not forget that East Tennessee is the only sr etion of the South which has preserved untainted ito devotion to the flag, in the midst of the very hottest fires of persecution,' and among the ruins of its homes. The commit'ee of arrangements have reduced the pike of admission to fifty cents—a capital measure. Tickets can be procured at Mr. Pugh's, Sixth and Chestnut, the Continental Hotel, the Union Lemma, tl , e Union Club, and the Academy of Nude. Per sons who have bought dollar tickets can exchange each of them for two fiftycent tickets. admitting to tbe beat sesta in the house, by appliaraion at either of those places. wAsi-irricf-a4z)N. WASHINGTON. D. C., Jan. 23 Coniressional Gossip. Twenty speechea are already down on the Speiik er,s list which are awaiting their turn to be made on the confiscation bill in the Home. The chairman of the Judiciary Committee will p:opoze this afternoon that the House net apart Friday and Saturday for debate on this subject, so tip at the vote can be taken on Monday. General "MuCiatmacree report will probably be ready for distribution to-morrow. The investigation of the custom house frauds in New York grows deeply interesting. Prominent parties are deeply involved. The investigation will unquestionably have to be removed to New York. A large crovlti of whisky holders are lingering around the room of the Senate Finance Committee Min morning. They are sanguine of partial mucous in gaining the committee over to their views of the tax on liquor. The House Military Committee, at' its session yesterday, decided to recommend the postponement until after the close of the * war of all propositions to indemnify 'Union inhabitants in the rebel States for losses sustained by the occupation of the coun try by the Union armies. The Reopening of Trade with the Border States. The Secretary or the Treasury has promulgated the lollowing additional regulations of trade : TRRABIIMY DEPAJITMt.tiT The commanding general having expressed an opinion, in reply to a letter addressed to him by the Secretary of the Treasury on the 16th inst., that re strictions on trade in the Stales of Missouri and Kentucky may now be safely removed, and the Secretary of War in his letter of this day, Jan. 23, 1864, having approved that opinion, the 20th regula tion of trade, established, with other regulations, on the 11th day of September, 1881, is so far modi fied that all restrictions on trade in the State; of Missouri and Kentucky are annulled and abrogated, and all the products and goods may be freely taken into and transported within the said States as in time of peace provided, - however, that no pro ducts or goods shall be taken from said States, or either of them, into States declared to be in insur rection, or to any port in said States heretofore blockaded which has been or may be opened, except in compliance with the resolutions of September 11, 1863. Restrictions upon trade into or from other States, and also upon trade with States in insurrection, and parts of said States, especially on the iflississippi and other navigable rivers, will be removed whenever.- in the opinion of the President, such removal shall be !mina compatible with the military measures ne cessary for the suppression of the rebellion. S. P. 011.9.5 E, Secretary of the Treasury. The Secretary has under consideration the further removal of the restrictions on trade, and when the approval of the War Department shall have been obtained, additional regulations will be adopted, en. lsrging the field of commercial transaction, in the sections rescued from the insurgents.

The Exchange -of Prisoners.

New Yonn, Tan. 28 —The steamer Champion has arrived from Aspinwall, with the California treasure and passengers. The Champion brings $325,000 in treasure. Among Ler passengers is the Hon. Robert McLean. Advices from Guayaquil report that Nocquera had forccd the passage of the river Cholo, and that Flores bad retreated or was driven back towards Quito. Another armistice had been agreed on, and Flores made a proposition for peace, pledging himself to. pay 0,000,000 indemnity to New Grenada for her xpenses of the war, which would be rejected by Plosquera, who was sure soon to occupy Quito, and it is already reported that he has done so. A. rumor is also afloat that a revolution had broken out in Quito and the President taken prisoner, but letters from Guayaquil say nothing of it. The Central American news is unimportant. There was some excitement in Panama when the Champion left, occasioned by a British Catholic clergyman being brought before the Prefect and having a criminal suit entered against him for per. forming mars for a few persons in a hotel. This matter is likely to cause trouble between Nper Grenada and England. An engagement had occurred In the State of anti°. gum between the Clover= eat forces aid some fOur Lundred conservatives.
