Democracy ami General Gantt. General Gantt was a Democrat before lie was if Secessionist. But when he re belled against rebellion and nobly returned to allegiance to the Government, it gras -with some surprise that he found he could not also return to his old party. Ulysses, -when he leturned from his long wander ings, was recognized by his dog Argus, but General Gantt found no recognition in She Democracy. lie left Douglas its leader of the West; he came back and found Val landigiiam, an exile, directing it from Canada. A leader exiled from his native soil; a party, weak but bitter, exiled from the confidence ol the people. No wonder that the change seemed very strange to General Gantt. It was as if the prodigal son had returned to his father’s house, and found his worst enemy waiting .for him on the threshold. He was astonish ed to find his Democratic friends in sympa thy with the rebellion, striving to save slave ry, opposing the war, and unable to take the hand of fellowship he extended. He has said so very plainly. What is the re sult T That this earnest man, hating rebel lion only the more because he was de ceived by it, resolved to do all in his power ("and that is much; to repair his error,loving the Union the better because he had left it, is denounced by the Democratic papers with more fervor than the traitors he has left! What a pitiful picture ! What a shameful contrast of the Democracy of to day and that •which of old governed the Republic! It must not be forgotten that General Gantt unconditionally sustains the Union. He is upheld by bis own State in declaring that slavery is the life of the rebellion, and must be expelled from American soil. He made no stipulationsbefore returning to the Union, and came upon loyal ground except ed, bv Ids rank as a brigadier general in tlie rebel army, from the amnesty offered by the President. But he returned, nevertheless. All he asked was permission to work to -undo the great wrong he had helped to do. He had not travelled one hundred miles in , the loyal States before he found the Govern- ! ment as merciful as it is just. He had not : Jived two weeks In the North before he ■ found that, instead of gaining assistance i .from Ms own party, it opposed his purpose j and denied his principles. Mark the fact, i Why is it that every man who forsakes the 1 rebellion, and unconditionally swears alle- 1 giance to the Onion, is rejected by the dis- j honored Democracy of to-day ? Why is it ? v Mr. Fernando Wood has told the reason j on the floor of Congress; the sixteen De- ' mccrats in the Pennsylvania Senate have confessed it unblushingly for weeks; Harry ' White wrote it from his cell in the Libby i prison; twenty States proclaimed it in twenty elections last fall. Foreign Substitutes. The great contest in which tMs nation is engaged, against a Rebellion which was or ganized for the express maintenance of Slavery, naturally excites the greatest inte rest in Europe. The people of this coun try, driven by misgovermnent to assert their Independence, became a nation, by a solemn League and Covenant which bears date July the Fourth, 1770. The Old World looked on at what ensued, and saw the Co lonists, led by self-taught military leaders, defeat the trained armies of England and her best commanders. In the second war with England we were again successful. Lastly, a war with Mexico having been forced upon us, we were compelled to go into that foreign contest, and success again placed her laurels upon our flag, and Europe wondered at the moderation which made us leave the van quished in possession or all their territory— California, which had severed her connec tion with Mexico, twelve years before it be came part of the United States, becoming ours, not by conquest, but by purchase. All our wars have been successful, and the op pressed nationalities of Europe have faith, therefore, in the invincibility ol our arms, especially bearing in mind that we have never gone into the conflict without a just cause. They have heard, across the water, how substitutes are accepted in our armies, to take the place of drafted citizens, who may -desire, whether irora circumstances or any personal cause, to serve vicariously in the legions of the republic. We have an evi dence of this in a communication which reached ns yesterday from the great com mercial city of Hamburg, on this very sub ject. It came, postage paid, addressed “ Dei Expedition der Philadelphia Press, Philadelphia, Kord Amerika,” and con tained two business circulars from the well known Insurance and General Agency house of Johannes Hoi/lander & Co., of Ham burg and Bremen. Enclosed was also an advertisement intended for publication in The Pkess, with a long explanatory letter on its subject. Inasmuch as we do not hap pen, exactly at this moment, to have a col lector in Hamburg, who can receive the amount of advertising, we do not publish the notice, as requested. There is no rea son, however, why we should not state its substance. Our translator informs us, then, that “ a great number of young and strong men from Germany wish to enlist in the American army as substitutes ( for a moderate price, and any persons wanting such men to write to J. Hollander & Co. in Hamburg, or to apply for imormation at the office of The Press, Philadelphia.” The information which has reached us ■was conveyed in a fourth missive, being a semi-private letter, dated “January 9, 1804.” From this we learn that almost any number of able-bodied young Germans, anxious to make this country their future home, are willing to become substitutes. The tariff, however, is rather high, as the travelling expenses of each man must be sent over in advance, and a sum of five hundred dollars specie j also forwarded. At the present rate of gold, this would amount to $790, and the travel from Hamburg to this country •would be about $l2O more. Hence the cost of each substitute from Germany would exceed $9OO, which is more than double the highest sum reported to have yet been paid here. Besides, two other difficulties wouid have to be adjusted. First, what security is there that, if the money were sent over, the man would keep faith, and come to this country to fight, and, even if he did come, supposing that be did not pass the surgeon’s examination, that he would refund the money ? The circumstance, however, that young •Germans, nearly all of whom have received military training, should desire to act as substitutes in our army, is too suggestive to he passed by. We state the facts as fully as we know them. Mr. Wigfall, in the rebel Senate, speak ing of rebel finances, said "If repudiation is "to be the result, he was prepared to lay down his arms and surrender at once, for the loss of liberty would be more tolerable than the loss of honor.” Mr. Wigfall must have read Mr. Memmingeb’s report, and should lie ready now to make good his words. The Catholic Church and the War. The lental letter of Archbishop Pubcbll, of Cincinnati, to the clergy and laity of his diocese, gives expression to some very inte resting facts regarding the real disposition of the Pope towards the question of peace in America. The Archbishop’s words are excellent in their religious feeling, which loses nothing by bis earnest and high-mind ed patriotism. The italics of the fetter are those of the Archbishop: ' Beloved Brkthrek ant> Obit.di;en ir Groot *• * * * If tens ol thousand* of our Oatlinlio biethien bare fallen in the front ranka or tho Na tional armies, aucating, even at this high price, their t’evotioii to tho Government and their sense c? the value of the Union, surely we can unite with the Vicar of Christ, undeterred by what friend or foe may eay of his paternal interposition or counsel, in bffetching the Almighty God to ina jire'tfia con tending hosts and their rulers. North and South, U ith the desire of peace. ■* * It la worthy the i.ublo heart of Pius the Ninth to wish and pray that this great country, but yesterday united, and, there* fi-rct prosperous and powerful, may put h%ck the swonl into the scabbard, and enjoy in honor j-d: e 9iu! uniiilciTupted peace ths Which GJll has poured upon it more abundantly than on aay other nation under heaven. The Holy Father, in an audience of three-quarters of an hour, granted on the drat day of December, to a young American priest of this diocese, who had left a seminary in France with some of his beloved felloiv-studcals, to join the Papal Zouaves, and who told the Pope tuat as he had risked his life to maintain the terri t- rial integrity of the States of the Church, eo would he willingly die to defend the integrity of the Union, and Arf.um! him of ills sincere love of the peonle and the Government of the North. At the same time, the Sovereign Pontiff confided to his care an autograph letter for us, doubtless, as in the instances of the letters to the Archbishop of New Orleans and the late lamented Archbishop of New York, to urea V-3 to use our best eflorts in the interests of peace. We have not received this honored letter. But vou are our witnesses, that while we go with our whole heart and soul/or the maintenance of the Union and tkc abolition of. stav/nry—against neither of which docs the Supreme Ponfijf'of Christendom utter a single word— wehAva omitted no opportunity in our’visits to our churches, in the administration of oon.hr .nation, in our public prayers, morning and afternoon, in tmr cathedral, to exhort our beloved ohildren to unite with us in supplications forpeace. Southern Advice. In bis speech in New York Gen. Gantt said : “Some people here say they want to send com niissioners to bring about peace. And vet loyal Ar baacas has organized a provieio’aal government, and is ready to come back to the Union -, and mark my word to-night, I will bet that these peace men will be the very fellows that won’t want her to come, be cause the has left slavery behind her.” This prediction is worth observing, not more, however, than the way in which Gen. Gantt disposes of the complaint of subjuga tion: “ Det me tell you that there are one or two classes f.ifho South that must bo subjugated; either the man who has drawn his sword ag&ioet the Govern ment of his fathers, the man who has attempted to B **hjugate his Government, he must be subjugated ami brought back to the Government, or the other man in the South who, in darkness, and storm, and trial, has stood true to of his country, with his faith never wavering. The man who has worked for his country must be subjugated, or the rebel must be subjugated. Now, which are you going to whip 1 He haa lost all. He has been confiscated; he has been hunted like a wild beast. Will you sub* jugate that man, or send down your column* to up hold him and aave your country ?” The power and truth of the Union cause have won such words as these from those who were once its enemies, yet it will he difficult to convince Northern Secessionists that Southern Unionists are right. A paragraph- recently appeared in the New York correspondence of The Press which has been interpreted as an assertion that the law suit, in which the business af fairs of the Express have been made public, had exposed the bankruptcy of that journal. Our correspondent has declared in a card that nothing could be farther from his inten tion than to convey the idea that the Express newspaper was either bankrupt or verging upon bankruptcy. We consider, however, that in simple justice and courtesy to our contemporary, we are bound to give further publicity to his emphatic disclaimer, and to state our sincere regret that the paragraph appeared, and our belief that the supposed charge is entirely unfounded. To the poli tics of the Express we are as positively op posed as night is to day, bu&we doubt not that it will acquit us of any intention to criticise or interfere with its business. ‘ ‘ The most devoted Administration cham pions are the men who have fought-gal lantly in the field.” This The Press has repeatedly proven, and has not the fact great significance ? The man who fights for the Union is certainly a better judge ot its government than the man who stays at home and complains that everything is wrong. Again, it is significant that many of these soldiers were leading Democrats— General Dumont, of Indiana, for example, whose name was incorrectly printed Fre mont in the fetter of “ Occasional” of the 2d. What then is a party worth, abandoned by such men, and ruled now by those who were four years ago either its enemies or unknown among its leaders ? The army, rank and file, has deserted the new Demo cracy, and we could have no better evidence of the hostility of the party to the war. LETTER FROM “ OCCASIONAL.” Washington, Feb. 3, 18GJ. The letter of resignation of Mr. State Se nator White cannot be the most agreeable reading to the men who have stubbornly and doggedly stood in the way of the orga nization of your Legislature. That gallant soldier and gentleman fully realizes, in his nauseous prison, that his confinement is the result of an understanding between the traitors who hold him and the par tisans who sympathize with those traitors in his own State. There was nothing in the way of his exchange but the fact that his vote was necessary to the organization of the State Senate by the Union majority. As I read over the long catalogue of assaults upon private rights and public liberties, by the so-called De mocratic leaders, for seven years past, the patience of their followers is more than surprising. It is historically true, indeed, that those assaults have contributed to the defeat of this party, and have brought utter shame upon the pretensions of its leaders. But there are many good men who continue to confide in these chiefs; A glance at the events off the last seven years will show how little claim these partisans had upon the confidence of the people. The imme. diate cause of this war was the manner in which they sustained the tyrannies of the slave-owners of Buchanan’s Adminis tration. There were other provocations in the now distant past; but the road that led to Secession, rebellion, and civil strife, was opened in 1857, under the auspices of the sometime favorite son of Pennsylvania. The Democratic party went down under the load—down in disgrace and ignominy ; hut the leaders gathered no experience or warn ing from the lesson. Their own tenacity held large masses to the organization. They scarcely dared to defend what they sanc tioned, but they managed to deceive their followers by the empty allegation that if they were vile, their adversaries were worse. In the crusade upon popular rights in Kansas, a crusade in which all the weapons of the tyrant were recklessly used, the present Democratic chiefs were foremost, and they .succeeded in deceiving thousands into the belief that they were right in these stupen dous crimes. Pursuing the same career, with undaunted and unblushing front, they broke up the old Democratic- organization in the two Conventions at Charleston and Baltimore, in 1800, under circumstances of unparalleled perfidy, cruelty, and despotism. And yet, in the face of such a record, the authors of all this injustice and fraud con trived to secure a large Democratic vote, at the election in that year, to endorse their villainy. It was in vain that the Repub licans and Douglas Democrats proved that the object of Breckinridge and his backers was to dissolve the Union; the so-called Democratic leaders laughed the warning to scorn, and drove their devotees to the hallot-box in the midst of shouts for Breckin ridge and howls against Douglas. The glorious canvass of Douglas in the slave States, when he knew and proclaimed that he could not be elected in the face of such a persecution as he had to endure, and when he also proclaimed that his only object was to stay the accumulating tempest of dis union this never-to-be-forgotten canvass no more affected the rulers of the presentoppo sition to the Government than if that illus trious patriot had been a travelling mounte hank. Though every succeeding step along this path of incipient ticason was taken without hesitation, and was followed by a train of calamities such as history can not parallel, not a word of repentance or regret was heard by the leaders of the so-called Democracy. The disaffection of Breckinridge budded in Secession, and ripened in armed and murderous rebellion. The Southern leaders of the Democracy fled from the Union loaded with stolen pro perty, and staggering under the dead »Ks«awfe- wcightoff.be most impionS perjury. The Democratic soldiers in the Union army demanded of their former associates the benefit of heartfelt sympathies and sup port. And tlie" cause of the country, like a martyr pierced with many wounds, ap pealed to the humanity and the patriotism of all the people. What was the response of these party leaders ? They refused to be convinced by the open treachery of Breck inridge ' and by the darker ingratitude of bis associates. They refused to allow the Democratic soldiers to vote at the elections; and still further to iusult them, nominated candidates for office whose com plicity with Breckinridge was fitly followed by their extreme hostility to every move'- went to give the right of suffrage to the Union troops. And now, this sad re cord is crowned by the revolutionary proceedings in your State Senate. Not a “Democratic” Senator had the manliness to rise in his seat and rebuke this unprece dented injustice and wrong. The question recurs, how long will the people submit to such teachers and to such violations of prin ciple and of duty ! There are thousands of honest men who still call themselves Demo crats. I direct their attention to the retro spect I have drawn. ‘Let them study it fairly and conscientiously, and I have no fears as to the result. Occasional. The New Campaign* A new Southern informant reports General Lee’s plan of campaign aa follows: To give Johnston se venty-five thousand troops, and Hongstreet the same number; the former to keep Grant employed in front, while the latter would retake Knoxville and East Tennessee. Eon?,streets success would turn Grant’s left flank, and, if the latter did not then fall back from Chattanooga to Nashville, he could Ad* vance toward Middle Tennessee, and, menacing his rear and line of supply and communication, force him to retreat under the most unfavorable circum stances. Grant odcs on the move, Johnston would follow him closely, and, uniting with Xjongetreet, the two could drive him to the Ohio river, “ Then Kentucky is ours,” said Gen. Dee. “Give John ston and Uongstreet this many troops; Jet them start Grant out of Chattanooga, and then unite their forces before he could fall on either separately, and I am certain we will regain Tennessee forever s and carry the war into Kentucky, where, I believe, it wjU end.” On the other hand, Jeff Davis is sftld to favor concentrating 100,000 troops in southwestern Vir ginia, to ascend the right bank of the Ohio, and occupy a line stretching from the Panhandle to Dake Erie,, separating the East from the West! This is said to be Morgan's idea of lighting Canada* wards, and winning recognition by a great victory in the North —the only one that can win recog nition. The Kick mend Examiner , however, is less frantic: “ Hereafter our strength will consist in our very poverty, Our country is too sparsely inhabited, too ic&rcely supplied with food and forage, to be success fully invaded for an indefinite period. The war will last as long as the North can maintain a muster-roll strength of three quarters of a million, and support an army of four hundred thousand men at a distance of several huudred miles [from its basis of subsist ence. It has become with us 'now a simple ques tion Of endurance, 11 E&at Tennessee is called the granary of the rebel lion. The rebel policy should be to risk nothing. "With the South, the duration of the war is simply a question of a continued supply of food for people and army; with the North, a question of enlist ments and finance. For these reasons, not the plans of Scipio,but Ibe tactics of Fabius must be employed by the South.. The rebel iiltas cf driving Grant back to the Ohio, and making Kentucky the great battle ground, at the same time moving a raid through the mountains of Western Virginia, under the concealment which such a region affords, have received some respect from our own military critics. It does not appear that thB rebel leaders have given up their crusading notions. Enterprises of a daring character seem to be as necessary to the rebel depression as stimulants and cordials. Is the South in condition or spirit to endure the Fabian policy, which, even in prospect, raises discontent? Our own armies in the Southwest are no doubt being reinforced as rapidly as possible. The ad” vance of EoDgstreet has established at least one fact in favor of the Union forces—our cavalry is superior to that of the enemy. But something is wrong in the command at Knox ville, if we hear aright. “We are willing to march and fight,” says a soldier, “but God did not make us able to live without food.” There has been abundant time to collect’supplies. "Let it be plainly understood—the Department of the Ohio is in a wretched condition; we must have more energy and efficiency at headquarters before we can accomplish the full measure of our duty.” The Views op Me. J. M. Botts.—An article re presenting the views of Hon. John Minor Botts, as to the Virginia Senatorship and General McClellan, is said to have received denial from the Hon, G. S. Smith, State Treasurer of Eastern Virginia. The information in dispute was given under authority of Mr. Smith’s name, and for that received all the credit which has been given to it. As the case stands, the story admits of doubt. W ASHDMGTON.

Christian Commission Meeting at Wash- An immense meeting was held in the Oapltol last night, it being the second anniversary of the United States Christian Commission. Vice President Ham nm presided. His opening address wsb eloquent and effective. Addresses were delivered by QnoiiGK 11. Stuart, chairman oftheCommission; Rev. Kohert J- F abvin, Rev. Geoeok J. bhkoiits, of Phila delphia ; Speaker Colfax, of the House of Repre sentatives ; Senator Sherman, of Ohio, and Gen. Mastikdalh, President Lincoln and Mr*. Lincoln wet* pre sent. On their entering the House, the people were almost wild with enthusiasm. Colonel Powurx, just from the Libby Prison, told a thrilling tale. Captain McCabe, also from Libby,- ■arg “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” and re peated it* The Pjcsident said the meeting was a grand success, the Commission having the highest endorsement of the Government. The interest con tinued unabated until tfio close of the meeting, at half past eleven O'clock. Mail Transportation* The Postmaster General ha* replied to a reso lution of the Senate, asking the reason of the fre quent failure of the mafia between New York and Washington. He attributes them to the insuffl eiency of equipment in oars and engines to meet the increased demand* of travel and transportation. There being but a single track, the number of trains has been reduced, *to prevent collisions, and the speed lessened by the increase of burden*. Since the adoption of the schedule of November 23d, by which tte time was to be reduced to ten hours be tween Washington and New York, the irregularity has been greater than before, partly owing to the large increaee of passengers, and the consequent delay* in receiving and discharging passengers at local point*. The line is made up of five several roads, and the companies seem to regard the trans portation of the mails as of secondary importance, subordinate even to ordinary freight, and changes of the mail trains are made without the knowledge of the Department, and discrimination against the mails in case or danger of losing connections. It is stated that a double track is in progress on all the roads. The road through Philadelphia is actively pushed, and the bridge over the Susquehanna is under con struction, and the united etforts of the roads will secure the remedy much sooner than- it could be obtained by a new line. A practical placing of these lines under one management, by conoert and har mony of action, is suggested as a complete remedy. It is hinted that the difficulty in supplying the de ruand for labor, and material, in the case of the organization of a new company, and the consequent jelaxing of effort by the present line, would aggra vate the trouble. No* legislation is recommended, unless it be such as would give the Department j ower to control the action of the companies in ear iying the mails, and in the changes without refe i once to mail connections.

THE WAR IN WESTERN VIRGINIA. PURSUIT OF RAIDERS BY GEN. AVERILL. Tiic Enemy Overtaken and Routed, Union Prisoners Rceaptured, BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD CLEAR, Capture or the Steamer - Leri on the Kanawha. GEN. SG AMMON A PRISONER, Haltinoeb, Feb, The American ha. received the following special despatch: Cumberland, Md., Feb. 3—Noon.—The guard of one company of infantry posted at Patteraon-creek Bridge, eight. miles. east or Cumberland, waa at tacked at 1.30 o’clock yesterday afternoon, by five hundred rebel cavalry, under Colonel Bower, and after a ipirited resistance, in which two of our men were killed and ten wounded, the greater part of the company were captured. This accomplished, the rebels set fire to the bridge, and, leaving it to destruction, started off with th* Ir prisoners in the direction of Romney. The employees of the railroad succeeded in staying the file, and saved the bridge, with only slight damage to it. General Averill, with his command, who had been sent out from IVCartinsburg by General Kelly this morning overtook the rebels near Springfield, and a severe engagement ensued. The rebels.wcre driven through Springfield, and. thence to the south of Burlington. Many of the rebels were killed and wounded, and our captures were large, including the recovery of our own men. taken yesterday at Paterson's Creek, and many horses. The enemy are making rapid tracks for the back country, pursued by our cavalry. The intended raid on New Creek has been thwarted by General Averill’e quick movements, and the other ample arrangements made by General Kelly, and their an ticipated success turned to a complete rout and dig* comfiture. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is now.entirely clear of the enemy, and the full operation of the line will be at once resumed. The weather is clear and cold. Wheblihg, Ya., Feb. 3.—General Kelly tele graphs this afternoon, to Governor Boreman, that the icbels have been from the line of the railroad at all points, and are now in full re treat, vigorously pursued by our troops. The damage to the North Branch and Patterson* creek bridges is but trifling, and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will be in working Qfder in two days. Governor Boreman has also received a despatch from Gallipolis, stating that the steamer Levi, which left that place for Charleston, West Virginia, last night, was captured and burned at Red House, on the Kanahwa river. Brigadier General Scam mer and one of his staff wcic taken prisoners. The rest of the passengers and the crew were released. The rebels also burned the telegraph office at 1 ed House. The telegraph line is now working over the Balti more and Ohio Railroad. THE REBELS RETREATING—PURSUIT OF OUR TROUPS. Headquarters Western Feb, 3. [Special to New York Herald .] —After we drove the eLemy from the bridges yesterday, the rebels com menced a rapid retreat, our cavalry closely follow ing them up, and skirmishing ensued. Last night, a portion of Gen. Sullivan’s foroes, In attempting to cut the enemy off, encountered a large force of rebels in Mechanicaburg Gap, near Romney, and in the neighborhood of this gap a fight took place. We eventually succeeded in compelling the enemy to take another road to the right, and they skedaddled with considerable precipitancy. In this engagement we took a number of pri soners. In retreating the enemy hastened to make a junction with the main rebel forces near Moore fleld. It is believed that General Sullivan’s and Colonel Mulligan’s columns have formed a junction, and are now pursuing the rebels vigorously. If the enemy escapes our forces he certainly will not be able to take any large portion of plunder. FORTRESS MONROE. Fortress Monroe, Feb. 2.—The steamer S. R. Spaulding, Capt. Howes, arrived to* day with 21 rebel prisoners from Newbem. They were recently captured in North Carolina by the 9th Vermont Re giment. The Spaulding towed the steamer Thomas R. Scott to this place in a disabled condition. EXPEDITION INTO NORTH CAROLINA. Major General Butler has just received the offi cial report from the following expedition sent out in his department: On the 28th ult. General Palmer sent an expedi tion to capture a force of rebel cavalry in Joneß and Onslow counties, North Carolina. They succeeded in routing the enemy, and captured 23 men, with their ho’ tea and equipments. They also destroyed 150,000 to 200.000 pounds of pork, 70 bushels ol salt, 10,000 pounds of tobacco, 32 barrels of beef, and captured a Isige number of mules and horses. Ob the 37th ult, Capt, Cady, of the 34th New Yorh Battery, proceeded with his oommand to Tyfell oo„ N. C., where they captured five men there employed In a series of robberies.

The Confiscation Act. , The House resumed the consideration of the joint reso lution amendatory or the confiscation act Mr. WADSWORTH, of Kentucky, replied to Mr. Ste vens, maintaining that this is not a public war. as be tween nations, but a civil war within the States. He argued that the laws c-f war do not authorize the con quest of individuals or private property on laud except ing in specified caste. In the exercise of the war power we cannot attack the temples of religion and despoil the arts, and seize and confiscate private property on land If We do this, we do it in the faceof the Christian world The States in rebellion are not out of but ia tbeUoion, ana in this connection he spoke of the sovereignty being in the ma.es of the people, who had delegated certain powers to be exercised by Congress. Debate <m the Enrolment Bill. The House went inio Committee of the -Whole on the state of the Union on the Senate bill amendatory of the enrolment act. Mr. AMOS MYERS, of Pennsylvania, said if. as as serted on the other tide, the draft was unpopular it wan because such iraitors as Channcey C. Burr, Vallandlc* ham and Captain Andrews, of Virginia,ithe Copperhead orator of Jew York, had endeavored to poison the rniudi ©i the f people against it* their language being repeated on the floor of this House. He argued the constitu tional power to draft, saying that every man owes sup port to the Government, and in time of trial he is bonud to take up arms in defence of the life of theUrion The people have taken up arms, and have determined that Lincoln, who has thus far held the helm of State so steadily, shall ran the good ship of State into port Whatever politicians may »ay and do, Gnd and the people are for Abraham Lincoln. McClellan might have been the favorite, if he bad not, the night before the Pennsylvan a election, changed his base. That general declared he was in favor of the mao. Judge Woodward, who was for withdrawing our troops to the north of Mason and Dixon 1 * line, aud that soldiers had no right to vote. He (Mr Myers) would confiscate the property of rebels, now and forever. He would place part of the proceeds in the treasury, and the remainder he would parcel out to the brave men who fight ou c bat tier. After this war is over, some men would give for tunes to have their words blotted out. Two classes will haveto*eave the North and go South. Ore of them the negro, because it is too cold, and the other the Copper head, because it is too hot [Laughter. 3 He was con fident that nut of this war we would emerge without a stain, would walk In newness of life. Mr STILES, of Pennsylvania, said his colleague had delivered a rambling tirade, which did not rise to the dignity of a speech. His colleague charged that Judge Woodward had decided that soldiers had no right to vote. This was not true. In the case of Miller and Chase, he decided that soldiers have a right to vote on returning to their homes, and this decision was ap proved by the people. On the second Tuesday in Octo ber. Judge Woodward was legally elected Governor of Pennsylvania, receiving two hundred and fifty-four thousand votes. But furloughs were absolutely denied to soldiers who were Democrat* to return to their homss to vote, and it was truly Bald that bayonets rule, and not the popula- will-. The people were opposed to the conscription, which was a failure. Bv the legis lation proposed the President could make the draft peipetuaJ, Jt gave him absolute control. The provost marshal held in Ids hands the liber-y of every mam woman, and child, and from his decision there was no immediate appeal. Our armies could rot be ailed up by conscription, andfome other mode must be devised. He die not relieve, with his colleague, that the war could be ended by Lincoln and the Administration’s policy. Mr. WILLIAMS, of Pennsylvania, in discussing the biD, said that every power for the defence of the coun try may be exercised, when necessary, excepting when expressly prohibited.. If the Government can taae pro perty for public uses, it can take the producer himself. A dmilting the duty of every man to support and defend the Government, the right to enforce Mb services is a corollary No Government can exist on tlmnare volun tary principle .* The principle of every law is coercion. 3 hank God. the instincts of the people are loyal. Iflt is true that a compulsory levy is anti-republican, then the Government is just as impossible as a War Demo crat, and must inevitably perish, with the first formida ble convulsion. The committee then voted on and rejected Blr. Wil liams’ amendment, by a vote of, yeas 26. nay* 23. re pealing so much ofthsoldact as authorizes exemption from military serv.ee on the Payment of three hun dred dollar*. Another amendment was agreed to, striking out the four hundred dollars commutation, and thus leaving it at three hundred dollars. Mr. BLAISE, of Maine, in reply to Mr. Garfield, said that every commutation paid lab produced, a man, therefore there could he co such effects as the gentleman had usscrll}6l, Mr. DaVIS, of Mary laud, contended that th. 6 Govevn.- xcenikae alight to the service of every citlzan There should he no exemption esceptingc to a limited extent. The minister* of the Gospel who remain at home, per sons who have families depending upon them for sup port, and persons having religious scruples, maybe ex tmpted by paving commutation. Mr. &TEVEKS moved to strike out from the substitute of the Committee on Military Affaire the following clause: "And if any drafted man shall pay money for the procuration of a substitute, such payment shall ope rate only to relieve such person from draft, in filling that quota, and his name shall be retained on the roll in fillU g future quotas M Air. GARFIELD, of chio, briefly showed the impossi biiltyof procuring the necessary number of men if this clause be stricken out, Mr. STEVENS said that, according to his amendment, a man paying the commutation would be released for three years, while, according to the above provision, he would be liable to draft the next day, which would he unjust. The committee, by a vote of 79 against 49, struck out tbe above clause. Mr. FARNSWORTH wrs in favor of filling our armicH, as far as possible, by volunteers, who were bettErihan drafted men. He booed the committee would reconsider ita vote exempting for three yew? from draft those who pay commutation. The committee then rose. Mr BLAIR, of Missouri, introduced a bill to establish an a*fay office in St. Lnnis, which was referred to the Committee cf Ways and Means. Mr. ARNOLD reported a bill for a ship canal, for ves sels of war, from the Mississippi to the Northern States, 'ihe Bouse then adjourned. PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE, Harrisburg, February s, 1664.

We have left brave ones behind, but we expect to meat them at the judgment seat, where they will not be condemned lor what they have done on the battle-field. He had made up his mind that when the last chain shall bo sever ed from the body of the last slave ia America, then he believed the war would be at an end, and he hoped it would be at the time when Abraham Lincoln was reelected President of these United States, fCheers.l We have lost many dear ones on the fields of Virginia. The day will come, and, we trust, before long, when this war will be over. We have 403 men left out of l.ioo and odd, and we have re cTUited about one hundred lately. We come to Philadelphia to fill our regiment to a tbou«aud strong, and we expect to do it, and you young men must come forth, we are in for this war so the end. X his Government was founded upon principle—the principle of freedom to every man. The Govern ment was ordained by God, and we believe that it was ordained that Abraham Lincoln was to lead us through this trial. We acoept these banners, and they will be accepted and protected we believe. He then introduced to the audienco Sergeant Chism, who, he said, had carried the other flag through every battle. Should these banners fall, I should find you, from your past- character, beneath them. These colors you are to carry. May God spare you to carry them through this contest. Take this color, and I ask no more of yeas in the future than I have had from you in the past. The State flag was then placed in the hands of Corporal Winner. This rebellion, he continued, has cost much and it will cost more. This Government is destined to be the greatest in the world, and to-day theieis not a monarchy in the Old World which does nottrembleatthe power of our Government. Tnisall arises from the one national principle of freedom to all within it. Ho believed that this rebellion would have been crushed before had it not been for Ihe fire from the Copperheads in the rear f Ap plause] Heaven grant that there shall never be peace until every rebel shall lay down his arms, and the shackles be broken from every slave in the land. [Applause] At the conclusion of his remarks, the tattoo, and the fc>tar*spaDgled Banner were beaten by this drum corps, which elioited much applause. The- profi ciency attained by these drummers is wonderful, smd great credit is due to Drum Major Bnr.ok.er, who has charge of them. At the conclusion of this part of fhe exercises the large audience retired. Coroner’s Inquests.—An unknown naan was drowned in the Delaware last evening. His body was speedily recovered, but life was extinct. Coroner Taylox held an inquest, and a verdiot of ac cidentally drowned was rendered.

New Chestnut-stbebt Thbatkb, —It is with more than common pleasure that we refer to the first production ,l**t evening, of “ The TiVket-of- Leave Man” at this eetabUshment. The play throughout waa performed with unusual excellence. The caet of character was harmonious and just, the impersonation* of the aotor* well-proportioned in their relation to each other. Not that we would have it inferred that the representation was or that we could not select individual Instance* where better acting wa* anticipated. We would any that, a* a whole, the 11 Tlsltet-of-I-eave Man” wa* better acted last night, at the New Chest nut, than it has been in any other theatre in this city. In the flrat place, much of the scenery wa* new and good, and although this doe* not come within the scope of aotlng, yet it is an accessory, and is naturally looked for in the presentation of anew play. The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. C. Koppitz, rendered the music or the drama In de lightful style, and the musical performance of Mr. ICoppilz hlmseir, especially between the third and fourth sets, was so brilliant and pleasing that he was unanimously encored. But it is the equable distribution of the characters that insures the per manent success of the play. The new aaenery, the appropriate appointments, the beautiful and well executed music, are comforts which we cannot well do without, hut a fair cast of character Is a luxury which most managements think it too expensive to pay for. Mr, Harry Pearson played Robert Brierty . the Lancashire lad. It is claimed for Mr. Pearson that, by the 11 universal consent of distinguished dramatic critics,” he is " esteemed one of the most fitting per sons on the American stage to whom to entrust ” the character. The most fitting persons are very few; but we are willing to admit that Mr. Pearson is one. Without drawing any comparison between him and others whom we may have seen, it is only fair to acknowledge that hi* impersonation is vorv touching and natural, (tuiet and forcible, and just throughout, he never strained at a theatrical gnat to swallow a theatrical camel. Easy and good hearted, and steadfast In his repentance to the end, the Robert liricrly of Mr. Pearson is one of the most pleasing efibrts in that line of acting which we have seen for some time. Mr. F. Mordaunt did very well throughout as James Dalton , but was peculiarly effective in his di«. guise in the third act. He did that part of the business most excellently, Mr. w. A. Donaldson wss as cool as a cucumber as Hawkshavt, the Ac tec tive, except when hu feelingly described the death of hie pal, Joe. Mr. Walter Lennox, as Green Jones, looked like a younger brother of De Boots, went through a sailor’s hornpipe, which was rapturously encored, and altogether was quite amusing* Mr. James J, Prior was almost equally acceptable as Meltcr Moss, a speculator. Mr. George H. Andrews performed Gibson, the hanker, with white-waistcoat propriety. Mr. J. W ard was sufficiently obsequious as Maltby, landlord of the Bellevue Gardens. Mr. J. Matthews did James Jackson, She sprightly waiter, to admiration. So much for the male members. Mis* Susan Denin was the Emily St. Evcmon. She looked very pretty—will she never get tired of hearing that?—and acted with her charming habi tual sauciness. Mlsb Sophy <limber was May Ed wards, a “waife” in the first act, and a wife (or nearly so) in the fourth. This lady is petite and good looking, has handsome eyes, and a sweet voice. She sings well, and was encored in her song -* “Why Should I weep for thee!!” she acted in quiet, unobtrusive, pleasant style. Mis* Fanny Browne is entirely too pretty for a boy of fifteen. In fact she looked delicious, and waa so pretty, and pouting, and red-lipped, and harum-scarum, and good for nothing, that the house was quite delighted with her. Mr*. Willoughby, the garrulous old grand mother, who thinks that "short pipes Is the thief of time, and tobacco is the root of all evil," waa hit off very well by Mrs. Placide Mann. If this lady would speak louder, she would produce a wider effect. With suoh an even cast, and such a thorough attention to detail, " The Ticket-of-Leave Man” ought to run at the New Chestnut for many a night. As it is now played, it will prove a great competition to the other theatres. We have berore remarked that a good stock company is what the city needed; now, it should seem, we are to enjoy that privilege. Soibee Mit-iTAiKß. —Major G. Eckendorff has been tendered the handsome compliment of a grand “■ Soirde Militaire,” at the Academy of Music, on Tuesday evening next, Feb. 9th, by the “ Wyer’s Academic Cadets,” of West Chester. The proposed compliment Is intended as a tribute from this admi -1 able young military organization to Major E., In testimony of their appreciation of his well-aimed endeavors- in perfecting them in the school of the soldier. The exercises'on Tuesday evening will be of a highly interesting character, and we doubt not the Academy will be well filled by an intelligent and appreciative audience. "The Two Commonwealths.” —We take plea* sure in calling attention to the Kev. Treadwell Walden’s lecture on this absorbing subject, to be delivered this evening, at the Musical Fund Hail. An hour cannot be better spent than in listening to the teachings ot patriotism, well thought out and eloquently spoken, which the reputation of the lec turer promises to his audience. THE CITY. [7OS ADDITCOFAL OITT 2TBWS, SEB FOURTH PASH*. Presentation of Flags.—Last eve ning Concert Hall was crowded to excess with la dies ana gentlemen who Had assembled there to witness the presentation of the National and State flags and three guidons from the ladies of Phiiadei pbla, to the 9 1st Regiment of Pennsylvania Volun teers, commanded by Colonel Gregory. The flags were made in a beautiful and substantial manner, at a cost of thiee hundred dollars. The officers and members of the regiment were present with their torn and tattered battle-flags which added solemni ty to the scene, The stage was draped with a number of American flags. A band was In atten dance which discoursed patriotic airs before the ex ercires began. Mr. George W. Magee aoted as chairman of the meeting. A prayer was then of fered by the Rev. Dr. Mears, on behalf of the coun try aid the 91st Regiment, and imploring a blessing upon all, after which Professor Saunders, of this city, was introduced. He said: The most experienced speaker might feel abashed at looking over this vast audience. He knew that if he would fail, there were speakers to follow that never failed. His greatest embarrass ment would be, not that he stood before the beauti ful and the accomplished, or the young auU the eged, but that there stood behind him the brave men who had barea their bosoms to th£ shots of the enemy. There is more valuable history connected with this war thus far than has ever been connected with any war. either in ancient or modern times. The speaker then made a few running remarks of the gallant deeds performed by the 91st Regiment on the different battle-fields, whioh were received with great applause. At the conclusion of his speeoh, the reveille was beaten by the drum corps of the 9ist Regiment, directed by Major Bancker, whioh was on the plat form at the time.
