There is no subject more apt to catch the attention of the people than a peace story. No matter how preposterous, the nation accepts it. When a couple of adventurers worked their way through the lines, and entered into the presence of Davis, the people of the North found it in teresting enough to become excited, and Mr. Benjamin saw proper to give an ac. count of the interview to the European Ca binets. The eagerness with which all men accept these stories showß that one thought lies in every human heart. Whatever may be dazzling or attractive in this blaze of war, beyond it the bright vista of peace presents a fascination that no pomp or triumph can surpass. To the earnest Northern heart war is only necessary be cause it is the means by which we can gain a permanent peace, and the friends of the. Administration eagerly sustain war because they are convinced that peace can only be gained by its vigorous prosecution. Among our public men there are two controlling ambitions—the desire to become the great Warrior, and the great Pacificator, and it is difficult to know to which history will assign pre-eminence. We ourselves feel an absorbing interest in this question. We desire peace. We are tired of bloodshed and debt, and we shall hail with joy any offer of the olive branch. We care not who is the ambassa dor. Let it be the humble, weary dove, or the traitor Davis himself, we can take it for the blessings it will bring. We want peace; and the question now is: What shall we pay for peace ? How much can we afford to give ? Are there any lessons of war that are as yet Imperfectly learned ? Have the people been sufficiently chastened ? The -war has slain slavery. Thank Godforthat! Whatever may be surrendered to peace, we can never surrender emancipation. The war has freed the negro by educating public sentiment at the North! and com pelling Davis and his generals to make freedom a part of the military necessity of the South. The negro bipod and brawn is found useful for the rebel armies, to dig, and drill, and hurl upon Northern bayo nets. We have shown that the negro is a soldier. Davis accepts the lesson and pro fits by it. Negro slavery cannot be tam pered with and live. The Southern lead ers cannot take away a portion and hope to reconstruct a system out of the remainder. Like a toy-house on a play-ground, if we touch a brick the whole edifice fells. When the negro fires a Confederate gun he .will cease to wear a Confederate yoke or follow a Confederate plough. The negro has the wisdom of simplicity. “Give me but to see,” said the old Greek. * Give the negro hut to see a squadron of Ms fellow-slaves following the fife and from that day the distinctions of master and bonds man cease. When the Southerner kneels with Ms Blave before the same rifle-pit he makes that slave a man. So that the war has accomplished emancipation with a double-edged sword. In our hands we strike with united public sentiment. In the hands of our enemies we strike with a military necessity. However or whenever the war may end—to-day, or twenty years from to-day—the slave rises up from Ms bondage. Having gained tMs, what more shall we pay for peace ? There are social and poli tical issues that will arise in the discussion. Here comes the question now agitating Congress—the status of the re-admitted States. Has the mere operation of the war been abundant punishment ? Shall we con sider Sheehan’s desolating march suffi cient penance, and thus settling our ac count with Georgia, throw open the doors and bid all of its people to hurry forward and accept the old flag, or shall we, make new oaths, and tests? Shall the war end by endorsing the theory of some accomplished publicist who finds in Ms books the remedy for every public woe and the true source of every -peace, or shall we allow grim Shebman and Grant to move on their battalions and find it with the sword. We do not know what the policy will be. But as the people began the war, the people will end it, and the Government will find the surest method of pacification when it thoroughly searches the heart of the nation and discovtrs.its Mdden thought _ When peace comes, let it be everlasting, and when such a peace is proposed, we feel sure the nation will say Amen! The Fort and the Garrison. The war has worked its way to an en tirely new position. While 'the rebellion has an immense territory to defend with a small army, the Union armies are not called upon to guard one inch of Northern ground, and it is not the least result of the plans of Gbant that they make our forces in every quarter offensive. Tennes see, Kentucky, and Missouri, are not even menaced; the gates of the Shenandoah are locked' and bolted; .Washington is as little in need of protection as Philadelphia. The rebellion, on the contrary, is alto gether on the defensive. All its remaining positions are attacked; Richmond, Charles ton, Wilmington, and Mobile are threaten ed, and Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi are awaiting- new attacks. The fort it too large for the garrison. To repel the attack on the.east, the west must he abandoned. Thus Hood, incapable of fighting two ar mies at once, abandoned Georgia to Sheb nan, and Hamdee surrendered Savannah without a blow, in order to reinforce Charleston. Lee yielded the invaluable Shenandoah to save Richmond, and the dilemma which now confronts the rebel lion is whether Richmond shall be sacri ficed to the coast and the interior, or they to Richmond. It is demonstrated that Charleston, Wilmington, Richmond, and the cotton States cannot be simultaneously defended; yet they are simultaneously at tacked. The military policy of the South can no longer be the defence of its out works ; the citadel itself is in danger. Our Norfolk correspondent quotes from the Georgia Constitutionalist an article which concludes with this emphatic confession : <• Our armies must be kept together and unsubdued, if we are reduced to the area of a single State.” Thispoliey may not be unrewarded by transitory success, but the yielding of so much army-sustaining terri tory and such valuable ports must end in weakness and complete defeat. General Bhebman is now advancing into South Carolina. It is not merely against Charleston that he moves, but against the army that defends it; and he will take the shortest road to the battle-field, whether it be at Branchville or Charleston. He will meet with decidedly more opposition than he did in Georgia, and the united armies of Beaubeqabd and Habdee will fight him behind entrenchments. We must not ex pect the campaign in South Carolina to be as brief and easy as that in Georgia, but we have every reason to believe it will he even more successful- Success comes with battles now. The more hard fighting the better for us. How much better it would be for the rebellion had Hood avoided instead of seeking a battle with Thomas. The re sult of a victory at Charleston, admitting the escape of its large garrison, will he that the rebel army will fall hack on Richmond, leaving the entire cotton line open to our entrance!; There will then be no ar mies in 6 the South excepting t'hat un der Hood and that at Mobile. To deal “with these, has Thomas been rein forced and his intended movement into Alabama wM reduce the war to yet sim pler elements, and the more we simplify the struggle, the more valuable will be great victories, and the shorter its duration. In the meanwhile, there are two armies that seem destined to await the determina tion of Shebman’s movement—those of ©bant and Lee. The grand fight is likely to he at Richmond, wMch, notwithstand ing all the reasons why it should be evacu ated, seems to be the point on which the ■?yar is concentrating and destined to be come the Armageddon of America. The British Political Situation. The British Parliamentary session of 1865 will commence on Tuesday, the 7th, or Thursday, the oth of February—a week later than usual, which may arise from the expectation of little to do, or from a desire to put off the evil day as long as possible. It is understood that the Government will not bring forward any but" the most neces sary measures. At the satne time, indi vidual members of the Cabinet have sepa rate propositions of their own to introduce and carry through, and it is not improba ble that, in riding these respective hobbies, they may jostle each other, and even cause a tumble or two. The Palmerston Cabinet consists of fif teen members. The octogenarian Viscount at its head has to keep all Ms colleagues in check, and prevent them running into wild action. Earl Granville, Lord President of the Council,, has notMng to do except preside at Cabinet and Privy Council meet ings when the Queen is absent. The Duke of Argyll, who was made Lord Privy Seal, to keep Mm out of mischief—for the little man is ambitious, and fancies that by Mmself he could carry on the whole Government of the British Empire—is more ornamental than useful, as a public man. The Earl of Clarendon, whom ge neral opinion has designated as proximate Premier, in the event of Palmerston’s resignation or death, has notMng to do, as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and Lord Stanley, of Alderley, Postmas ter- General, stands in much the same predicament. Here, then, are five out of the fifteen ruling heads of the Govern ment departments, who are not at all likely to introduce measures on wMch would arise the party discussions which prolong the Parliamentary session, and, sometimes*, have caused the wreck of apparently stable Administrations. We might add that Sir Geobge Gbby, the Home Secretary, and Mr. Villiebs, Pre sident of the Poor-Law Board, are not likely to be active in the coming session, though the former may he exercised, by the serious section of the Commons, on the subject of having capital punishment privately performed in future, as in this country, and the, latter may have to set Ms wits to work to raise funds to keep the Lancashire operatives from starving. These deductions made, there remain eight Cabinet ministers, each of whom will have something to say and do next session. The Lord Chancellor, as first lay subject of the realm, is entitled to the pas. Lord Westbhby is an old gentleman of re markable energy, whose “particular vani ty” (as Sam Weller has it), consists in re torming the law. In this he follows the example of Ms much older friend, Lord Brougham, who brought forward a bill for remodelling the Court of Chancery, before he had been four-and-twenty hours in office. Lord Westbuby's chef A'mmre was a new Bankruptcy Bill, wMch he rushed through Parliament, hut which,' unfortunately, is far less effective than that wMch it superseded. It has been so uni versally condemned, not' only by the busi ness public, but by the judges themselves* that it must be repealed or amended in the ensuing session. If Lord Westbuby does not take it in hand, some other person will, and, at all events, the subject cannot be legislated upon, as before, in hot haste and precipitation.' Next in importance is Mr. Gladstone, Chancellor of the Exchequer—who, in his way, is a doctrinaire, as Guizot was—an able, eloquent, plausible, persuasive man, Mghly educated, a neryous rather than a popular writer, self-opinionated to a de gree, and so unscrupulous in Ms ambition that if the broad principles of Bright and Cobden or the narrow doctrines of Derby and Disraeli were left to Ms choice, he would adopt those wMch gave most cer tain prospect of landing him in the office of Prime Minister. At present, and for the last four yearn, he has been bidding for popularity by reducing the taxes wMch press most heavily on the productive in dustry of his country, and, to do him jus tice, has effected much good in tMs direc tion. We may doubt whether Ms fiscal measures will ever induce John Bull to take mn ordinaire in preference to good malt liquor—the best popular beverage in the world—hut he merits public thanks for reducing taxation, and for endeavoring to have the national expenditure kept within economic limits. In the next session he will inevitably be in decided antago nism to the heads of the Foreign, Colo nial, Naval, and Military departments, all of whom, we may .be sure, will re sist any reduction in the several expendi tures under their control. Lord Russell, of course, will submit* that Englahd shall continue prepared for war, not only on ac count of the permanent necessity of hold ing England’s terrible French ally in or der, but because there may be American hostilities, arising out of the constant breach of neutrality by British subjects. Lord De Grey and Bifon, at the head of the War Bureau, will naturally protest against any reduction in the military de partment, half a dozen Depot Battalions being the utmost that- he can consent to lop off, and even these being doubtful, for Mr. Cardwell, .Colonial Secretary, re ports that the rebellion in New Zealand has broken out again, and large military rein forcements may be required to put it down and keep it down. Thefe will probably.be a demand on John Bull’s money-box for a fleet in the Canadian lakes, the American Government have given the necessary six months’notice of an intention to increase the armament there—a notice, even The Times admits, perfectly justifiable, under the recent circumstances of the St. Albans raid, robbery, and.murder. We maybe sure, too, that the Admiralty mouthpieces —the Duke of Somerset in the Lords, and Lord Clarence Paget in the Commons will make out a strong case for even in creased money grants to make the British navy, (no longer, “the wooden walls”) more effective, particularly as our Ameri can navy is becoming the largest and beet in the world. Sir Charles Wood, at the India Board, will scarcely make heavy drafts on the national treasury, for British India lias a large revenue of her own, and we may be positive that Mr. Milner Gibson, president of the Board of Trade, will neither say nor do anytMng to prolong the session, for he grudges every hour, in the fine days of "summer, when lie is not aboard of Ms yacht, which he han dles With the ability of an “ old salt.” The Railway business of Parliament, however, is under the surveillance of the Board of Trade, which has to report upon the plans, sections, and estimates of every new line sought to be legalized by statute. Already, the English papers complain, there are more railroad schemes oil the ta pis than even in the session of 1845-6, and it will take a long time and much consi deration to dispose of even a third of these, all other Parliamentary business being also forwarded. These railroad* - schemes, of themselves, are sufficient to occupy both Houses far into the month of August. These delays, however—the prolongation of. the Session to that twelfth of August so fatal to the grouse—would be little more than a disagreeable inconvenience to the Ministry. But danger threatens them from another source. As if by. common con sent, the two belligerentparties, Whigs and Tories, have quietly agreed to put Parlia mentary Reform on the shelf. Another party, that of the People, has lately given proof that it “ still lives." In Yorkshire and Lancashire public meetings halve been lately held, at which it was'determined that Parliamentary Reform should be sought; for, by all the legal means that can best be;employed —by the same system of organization that compelled Peel, in 1846, to repeal the Corn Laws. In tMs new agi tation we see coming danger to the Pal merston Cabinet. Its aged cMef has always been a Tory, and averse, even in Lord Grey’s Ministry, to Parliamentary Reform, though he voted for it,, and is now 1 more averse than ever to its principle. He will not consent to that Reform, and Ms re fusal will make Mm so decidedly unpopu lar that he will have to resort to a General Election, in the autumn of 1865 or the spring of 1860, with the loss of that prestige Which has kept him so long in office. William Shaw Lindsay, M. P. TMs gentleman, whp was largely con cerned in blockade-running and its profits,- in defiance of Ms Sovereign’s Proclama tion ordering that British subjects should observe the strictest neutrality, at home and abroad, in the American war, is not in a condition ever to resume Ms seat in the House of Commons. He has been attacked by paralysis, and his doctors have pre scribed, with the ordinary treatment, that he shall live in the least eitsiting manner, leaving business and politics to those whose health enables them still to labor at the oar. His absence will not be any loss to the British Legislature, where, however, he was considered somewhat useful. His faults, as a public speaker, were diffuseness of language and flagrant incorrectness of statement. He was as unscrupulous in as sertion as he was illogical in argument. On the subject of the war in the United States he was a rabid partisan, worthy of companionsMp with Roebuck, Gregory, Bentinck, Laird, and Company. He was heard, with attention, in the House of Commons, on matters of business, for he was a self-made man, who had risen from a very low position, (that of cabin-boy on a small coasting vessel,) to be head of a prosperous sMppmg-house, wMch owned a small fleet Of vessels, and Ms experience in business was much relied upon. At the age of twenty he had risen to the com mand of a merchantman, and, four years after, (in 1840), founded the firm of W. S. Lindsay' & Co., Austin--Friars, London, of wMch he remains the head. In 1843 he published a volume entitled “Our N avigation and Mercantile Marine Laws.” He was strongly impressed with the con viction that as British commerce might benefit by the alteration of the navigation laws of other countries, particularly the United States, * tlio commercial commu nity in these other countries ought to make the changes he suggested. A short time before the war broke out, Mr. Lindsay visited tMs country, and made speeches in some .of the great; cities, (in the hall of the Board of Trade, in Phi ladelphia, among the rest,) but made no converts, and returned to England high ly displeased with the non-success of Ms self-constituted mission. Perhaps tMs lay at the bottom of Ms later antagonism to our Union and Ms avowed sympathy with and championsMp of “ the so-called South ern Confederation.” As a speaker, inde pendent of Ms wordiness and incorrectness, Mr. Lindsay was awkward and brusque. His favorite attitude was to put both hands -into Ms pockets, and, standing with Ms legs very much apart, sway Ms body from side to side—precisely after the fashion of a landsman on board sMp, in a heavy roll of the waves, trying to get Ms sea-legs. His politics—except where this country was in question—were of the ultra-liberal class. He has sat in Parliament since March, 1854, —first for Tynemouth and since March, 1859, for Sunderland, when he* was opposed byGEOBGE Hudson, “the Railway King,” who will probably succeed Mm. Mr. Lindsay is now in Ms 49th year, having been bom in Ayrshire, Scotland, in 1816. Philadelphia yesterday stretched out a hand of welcome to Savannah. The meeting at .the rooms of the Board of Trade, of wMch Bishop Potter was the president, faithfully expressed the feeling and intentions of the people of tMs city. We are ready to help the citizens of Savan nah with all our power. In coming- back into the Union, they will not find the North indifferent to the sufferings imposed upon them by the rebellion. Northern wealth and trade will once more be poured into the cMef city of Georgia, and of the twenty thousand people, who are now al most without the necessaries of life, we shall not willingly leave one unaided. A committee of somejof our leading citizens was appointed yesterday to prepare an ap peal to. our citizens. It will be emphati cally answered. Richmond and Savannah are now the poles of the South. The opposition is per fect. Alarmed by the.readiness with wMch the people of Savannah acknowledged the authority of the Government, the Rich mond journals are doing their best to de stroy the influence of the example. But it cannot be concealed or misinterpreted. Time will ,show that the capture of Savan nah was more than a military victory; it established a base for the civil restoration of the South. “ Tbs Philadelphia Press is reprinting in circular form ana distributing here its attack of Saturday upon the Inquirer.’’—Neu>. York correspondent of Inquirer. TMs is untrue. The -Press has issued no circular containing an “ attack upon the Inquirer." The Press has given no per son authority for such a publication, nor have we any intention of doing so. The business of printing circulars to abuse our neighbors, and endeavor to ruin their busi ness, is another of the monopolies wMch we gladly surrender to our contemporary. WASHINGTON. THE DEBATE OH THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. Tli© Mattel- still before the House. THE RECENT PEACE RUMORS UNFOUNDED, Washington, January 10. THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NOT YET AQTED UPON BY THE HOUSE. The debate did sot end to-day, as was expected, on the constitutional-amendment resolution. Many gentlemen desire to be heard on the subject, and it may be several days before a vote shall'be reaohed in the House. THE RECENT PEACE RUMORS.. The present speculations about peace movements, which have been the subject of comment both in loyal and rebel newspapers; rest on a weak founda tion. It Is safe to say that no person, either au thorized or unauthorized, has. lately left Washing ton tor the front on an errand of peace or with a view to consult the Confederate authorities con cerning the existing difficulties. ~ THE PORT OP- BT.

THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY, The House resumed the consideration of the Senate’s joint resolution proposing a change of the Constitution for the abolishment of slavery. Hr. KASSON of lowa, in reply to Hr. Mallory’s re marks delivered yesterday, »ald that new lights and influences had been brought to bear in favor of the adoption of the amendment. The Union Convention, Which assembled in the city of Baltimore last June, challenged the entire nation to its consideration by declaring that the best interests of the country, re armed, that it should be adopted ; and when the gentle man's friends assembled in Chicago they did not dare to take up the issue, and presented no counter-state ment; and he (Hr. Kasson) held that there was sufficient argument, and justifloatior, and testimony of the Demo cratic fathers to show that the proposition now pending Was a.zueasure of just statesmanship. Democracy was obedience to the will .of the people, constitutionally ex pressed ; and it would not be denied that a large ma jority of the people have so decided. The funda mental principle ol the Constitution was the extension of civil and religious liberty. At the very inception of the Constitution thievery subject of slavery was con sidered a legal subject for consideration. Mr. KASSON maintained that the uniform rule hid been emancipation without compensation, aud it was a modem heresy that a slave is property as much, as your horte, your ox, or your ass. But this was not the doctrine of the fathers and the judicial authorities of the country as administered in the early times. He proceeded to show- that Congress bad a right to deal with the subject and amend the Constitution, provided It be done according to its provisions, and argued to show that the amendment proposed was consistent at this time with sound policy, and necessary for the pur pose of consolidating the Union and banishing the evil which has so seriously interfered with peace and prosperity. ■ . Hr. VOOBBEE3. of Indiana, called the attention'of the gentleman to the fact that the Republican majority heretofore passed a resolution declaring that the Fede ral Government has no power to interfere with the in stitution of slavery in the States. Hr. KaSSON replied, it was true such a declaration was nade, but now they proposed, by amending the Constitution, to lay ihe foundation for the exercise of the power. He then gave his views on the constitu tional right to make the amendment ’ Hr. COX, of Ohio, in explanation, said he 'conceded the power to amend the Constitution, and two-thirds of the States could even erect a monarchy, but he was op posed to the pending amendment because it sought to consolidate Vhe powers of the States, and tended to ware monarchy and despotism. Hr, KASSON asked whether, the gentleman would afford the people an opportunity to pass upon it ? Mr. COX. 1 would give thtm the opportunity if Idid hot believe Mr. KASSON [interrupting]. They would pass it. [Laughter.] Mr. COX repeated that he would afford them the op portunity if he did not believe it would tend to disturb the balance of power between the States, and destroy our peculiar representative system. Hr. KASbOa replied that modern Democracy dis trusts the instincts of the people, while ancient Demo cracy’trusted the people. The proposition now before them did not s ppeal to the war power, but to the peace ful means of amending the Constitution in the manner designated in the instrument'itself. .He made addi tional remarks in favor of the amendment. Mr. FERNANDO WOQD, of He* York, discussed, at length*thewant of po#era»d r iag the Conetitution in the Way.pfopOSed- Iu the course of nia remarks he said he should., on afrafdre occasion speak npon the condition of the country'and attempt to elucidate the following propositions?! First. A tribute to the intense spirit of nationality which pervades all classes at the North.' Second. Sympathy with the Northern people, and a review of his efforts in behalf of their prosperity and happiness, and his straggles to prevent civil war and Us contequenihorrors. > Third. A reiteration of hla belief that the South can not be conquered, or be compelled to submit to a sec ttonal Northern Government, and that even if reduced to guerilla warfare, which is not probable, they can hold the Southern countiy and render it valueless for at least half a century. n * Fourth. An exposition of the Jeffersonian principles oi the Democracy* which cannot bp too often repeated to the people, that they may see hbw smooth.y, ho w harmoniously the machinery of the grand fabric of the fathers would move on if their teachings were mfc ignored and forgotten. ' Fifth* That the Democracy etlU behold In the proud baontr of the Union the symbol of peace, and ttiU lapor for a cetsatibn of hostilities, determined, if possi ble, to rescue the sweet spirit of union ere it perish amid the carnage and vengeance of civil war. Sixth. Tnat ir the Southern States will return to the Union, the Northern States, or people, will in turn re cognize by constitutional amendment the sovereignty and independence of the Southern States, over all questions not expressly delegated to the General Go? vernment. Seventh. That thereupon the northern and Bouthoni people ehell pledge themeeJ vee to a hearty Siippor: of measures, peaceable or forcible, for the acquisition of Canada, Eexico.

BLDBIDGJS. of Wisconsin, briefly gave the rea sons why bo conld not rote for, the amendment, a going that- it was one of tbe reserved rights of tbe- States to control and manage their pecu liar institutions in their own way, and desiroy' tbe balance of power. He doubted tbe power to amend tbe Constitution in tbe particular propostd, and was not aware that the fathers of tbe Constitution claimed that one-fourth of the States could he stripped of all their rights and property at tee pleasure of the other three-fourths. The adoption of the amendment would afford the rebel leaders au ■ Other topic to arouse the lukewarm, raise additional armies, and prolong the w«r, bet all amendments be made in time of ealmmesF, in a fraternal spirit and with kindness, with anew to the establishment of peace and the Union in all its parts. - Mr. KIRG. of Missouri, said if anything was left un done. which should he done In order to restore the hletslnas of peace ,to tue country, he was prepared to help to do it now. He proceeded to show that slavery has been a cause of disturbance for the last thirty years; anc if slavery must polish the slaveholders cannot com plain of the fact that they have-been the architect* of their own min. Slaver) has been the means by which the Southern leaders have wheeled into the line of in entreotion, and for this reason it has lost toe support and sympathy it once possessed. He repeated, slavaiy hag been a,constant source of irritation, and in order to secure the blessings of peace, the great Question of its further continuance should he submitted to the people for their decision. Hs reviewed tho political his tory of tbe country for the paet rencriuiou to show the progress of the slavery question and the aggressive ad vances of the advocates and friends of that institution. Mr. GKINBJILI,, ot lowa, Bald he was happy tofjllow in debate a gentleman from a slave State’ (Mr. King), and, he believed, a slaveholder, in. advocating an amendment to the Constitution by , the adop tion of which slavery is .to be abolished throughout this land. He denied there is property in man. ~ Slave ry, nos having the sanction of justice and humanity, was standinghere as an outlaw. Mr. FARNSWORTH, of Illinois, rose to answer the charges or a want of constitutional power to paSB this amendment. They came Irom the wrong side when used by those opposed to the proposition. There never was a highwaymen who did not regard the law which punished him .as unjust. There was no etatntain any State establishing slavery. It had grown up by stealth in thebedy politic, and by usage had become familiar ised. That which was robbery and injustice in tha be ginning cannot by lapse of time hecome'jnst and honora ble. ' • Mr. MoBBIDE. of Oregon, discussed the constitutional power.to amend the Constitution; and as to the duty of pntting an end to slavery there was one patriotic answer il the affirmative: “ Slavery, too long pursuing its im moral practices, demands sentence without the benefit of clergy." The Bouse then adjourned. Ajiglo-Kcbcl Pirates. The London correspondent of the Tribune writes as follows aboutrebel privateering in general :’ Thdse best informed on these matters think that Semmes was recalled because the Richmond Go vernment has been dissatisfied with him slnct the loss of thd Alabama; that it proposes employing him in some other branch of the naval service, as giving him the berth of Commodore. Buchanan, or something of the kind. But it hardly, intends aban doning piracy.' Here is some news in corroboration: It has recently purchased the’ Rattlesnake, a double-Borew steamer, sister to the Tallaiiasseo, now lying at the Victoria Doolr, at this port of liondon. The vessel, built by Dudgeon, the great man ibr double-screws and Government gunboats. Is very fast, having made seventeen knots an hour. There is no doubt she is now owned by rebel agents here. She may be intended either for a blockade-runner or a pirate; in the latter ease receiving her arma ment when away from sin English port, in accord ance with—l had almoßt said the suggestion of the Attorney General, when defending the Government for permitting the Georgia to take refuge in Liver pool. They have-also, at Mayer’s yard; Gravesend, thirty miles down the river, and very nearly com pleted,'the Viper, a side-wheel steamer, wide and of shallow draught, admirably calculated for blookade innning. The evidence Is, perhaps, less palpable In this case than tbat of the Rattlesnake, but war rants much more than suspicion. Perhaps the only person beside the rebel agent thoroughly well in formed on the'subjeot is our consul,.Mr. Morse, who could, I imagine, write a ourious volume on the Se cret History of British Neutrality as concerns the limited States during the SlavehoMers’ RebeUlon. But for that “d—d Yankee”—l am quoting,the' eulogium passed upon him by the amiable Mason when moved to wrath by the stoppage of the Rappa hannock—we should have had just as many Anglo rebel pirates afloat and preying on our commerce as the purses of our enemies at home and abroad coaid oompass. British maritime law is so hideously de fective that you might almost sail a Hne-of-battle thlp through it; only, happily, we have a zealous, quiet,'hard-working consul to bring all the faouitioE of his bnsy brain to bear on the subject. Afew additional items. Sailed from Liverpool, just two weeks' ago, the brig Babthorpe, with a oar go of arms and ammunition ; among the former a number of 68 and 32-pounders, sufficient Indeed to arm and fit out two vessels.

B.—The news of, the Presi dent’s Order No. l, series of 1865, removing Major General Benjamin P. Butler from the command of the Department of Virginia and North Carolina, Is causing much comment; but,, so far as I ean Learn, little or no animadversion. Whether; rightfully or not, General Batter has for months past been losing the confidence of- the officers of the army, until very few will regret his departure outside of those who swarin around and attach themselves to'those In power. It has been General Butler’s misfortune to appoint too‘many-of these selfish and irresponsl. Ole persons to oflioial positions of trust and respoh slhlllty. Their Indiscretions have often cost Mm dearly, and aro supposed to be ta no Small degree Instrumental in oauslng his present removal. The ostensible grounds for depriving him of his command are undoubtedly his 'reoent.fiascos of Wil mington and Dutch Gap. But a mountain of dis satisfaction him been accumulating against him for months, on account of alleged illegal and arbitrary arrests, imprisonments, and punishments. It is said that many oases of glaring injustice have come to light, and many others are expected to be, de veloped by Mb supersedere, ■ ' ■ Major General Butler Is ordered to turn over Ms , command, all moneys and Government property, and the civil fund In Ms-possession, to the person named by Lieutenant General Grant as hls tempo rary - successor, and to proceed to'.Lowell, Mass.,. . and to report to the War Department by letter; Major General Edward Otho'Cressnp Ord, com manding the 24th Army Corps, has been named the temporary successor of Gen. Butler, and will at once take charge of the department. . Thus ends the military career of a distinguished civilian general. It Is a-singular but Instructive t fact, that no general officer has succeeded In this war who did not possess a previous military .tralp lng.and education, excepting a few who entered the service with only regimental rank, and studied, worked„and fought their way &om thenoe upward. Without this previous knowledge or training—of one kind or the other—all have been expensive fail ures. Afew are yet In command. Let us hope the day is not for distant when all inoompetents will be removed, capable ones appointed to succeed them, mid the country, thus strengthened and assured, let on to victorious peace.

They also attacked a male train olose by, killing one man and wound ing another. The troops at the military post here, numbering fifty to eighty men, Immediately started to the re lief of the white settlers In the vlolnlty, and drove the Indians to the bluffs a mile hack, where the In dians were reinforced to the number of fifteen hun dred, and In tnra drove the troops hack to the post. The Indians then entered the stage station In large numbers, and alter destroying all the furni ture and breaking all the windows in the building, setlt’onfire. , They also destroyed a large amount oftelegraphie material. A well-directed fire of musketry from the troops'at the fort, however, soon drove them baok from the station. In the running fight on the retreat of our troops thirty-five Indians were killed, Including a principal chief, nineteen of oar sol diers and citizens were killed. A general massacre and destruction of the whites was only prevented by the perseverance and bravery of our troops. The Indians retired in a southerly direction. This was the most determined Invasion made by the Indians this season. XH£ !OW£B POTOMAC.

A letter dated at Havana, January 4, says: - “ The Diario of yesterday contains an article a column in length about the notion at Puerto Oa bello. The Spanish man-of-war Andaloxa sent in three boats to capture two schooners that were loading to run the blockade, one of which was found empty and the other had some mahogany and to bacco on board. The landing force was subjected to a heavy fire, and lost thirteen men, though -no less Is mentioned in the article of the Diario. The chief of the expedition is said to have been wounded, though lam credibly informed that he was killed. “ I have had the opportunity of conversing with several officers recently returned firom Monte Christi. They give a doleful account of the state of a ffairs, and say that the general opinion is that Spain ought to abandon the conquest of the island, which would seem to be not only the most honora ble, but the wisest oonrse to pursue. - u The army is suffering very -much from lack of water, though this is somewhat remedied by the shipments from this island.

ADVANCINC public opinion SLAVERY ARD THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY* THE FABTT MUST ABAHDOK BLAYEOT. fFrom the Jf. Y. Ereisiiig Post of yesterday J Tbe patriotic and sensible part 0 £.^. 8 the Democratic party—the managers of Hall to this State,and those who act w£h ‘hat wing of the party in other States—are giriag np slavery. They have discovered, as did the island, that the “allgnant creature which at first they trnstrully took upon their backs to carry across the river has become an unendurable ouraen, a cruel tyrant and anlnoubus. They are casting on- * their old man of the sea. _ . . . Yesterday, in the House of Bepresentattves, Messrs; Odell, of New York, and Teaman, of Ken tucky, both Democrats of the stralghtest seat, de clared themselves to favor of the extirpation or slavery. Mr. Yeamansaid: “ Let the rubbish be cleared away.” By the passage of the amendment, he asserted,.“ politicians of both sections would be deprived of their means of agitation, and the best Interests of the Union served.” Mr. Odell spoke expressly as a Democrat. He deaired to see the great evil removed by the legal and constltntlonal method of an amendment. He" declared that to extirpate slavery wonld be to benefit the non slaveholders of the South, “who will no longer struggle with, and be degraded by, contact with slavery, but will share to the blessings enjoyed by the honest workingmen of theMorth.” He continued: “ We of the Democratic party have stood by the South to all her troubles, and have yielded our pre indices to them i& our national conventions only to submit to new demands to extend their system of slavery. The South did not regard this as an evil to be temporarily endured, but to be continued throughout ail time. But I. in common with the North, have always believed slavery to be wrong, and an evil which ought to be abolished. - With this conviction of right, when my name Is called I shall vote in favor of the resolution. Slavery had lifted its hydra-head above the country. The time had eome when we, as a party, ought to unloose our selves from Its influence.” .. * - - - We shall print to full the speeches of Messrs. Odell and Teaman as soon as they come to our handa In the Globe. They were supported, to a certain extent, by two members on the Democratic side, Messrs. Voorheeß and Ward, who; while un willing to vdte for the constitutional amendment, asserted slavery to be actually-at an end. Mr. Ward declared himself “ opposed to the readmls slon Into the Union with the rights of slave pro perty of any State which our triumphant armies had subjected, but he was not willing to prolong the war longer than was necessary to effect its legi slate object.” Mr. Yoorhees, the leader, in the present House, of the pro-slavery wing of the Demo cratic party, asserted that “ the question of slavery was rapidly diminishing in Importance, whether for good or evil; It was passing away.” We print to another place to-day part of an arti cle from the New York Leader of last Saturday, the, OTgan of Tammany Hall, to- whleh the position taken vesterday lir (Jongross by Messrs. Odell and Yeoman Is approved beforehand, by what we must suppose to be the well-considered expression of the Tammany organization. ‘ Conoerntog slavery the leader says: “ The Democratic party never advocated slavery as a moral institnUon. That Is a .question which will not admit of discussion. But slavery was a re - cognized State right, guaranteed by the Constitu tion as one of the compromises by which the union of Stateß wfts formed. Being a constitutional right, It could only be constitutionally abrogated. The war did not abrogate it. States cannot commit suicide, nor forfeit their oonstltutional rights by the rebellions acts of a number of their citizens. -Indi viduals rebel; constitutional principles remain. But now pnbllc Sentiment is unanimously against sla very ; the war has furnished us with the opportunity for its legal abolition; the rebels are preparing to do away with It, and an advantage may be gained by forestalling them; and thus we are forced to the conviction that the tlmo has ot me to rid the country of this curse to a oonstltutional manner, and if just provision be made for the remuneration of the loyal slaveholders wherever found, we shall support the constitutional amendment to that effect now before Congress. Thlß Is not the Peace man’s doctrine; hut it is sound Democratic doctrine, and Jeff Davis has proved it such by his own words.” The Peace men, says the Leader, “ have driven such Democrats as John A. Dlx, Daniel E. Sickles, John Brough of Ohio, Governor Fenton, Comptrol ler Hobteson, Lieutenant Governor Alvord, and others Into the ranks of our enemies.” “ The trai tors must be thrown overboard and the true men re called,” It continues; “we want Dlx, Sickles, Brough, and other old Democrats baok to the party. They are worth a thousand Vallandlghams to patriotism and brains.” patriotism and brains are what the Democratic party has lacked during the last four years. A party wheEe central and principal Idea was un swerving and even blind fidelity to the Union air lowed such men as Vallandigham and the Woods high and influential places In Its councils, at a pe riod when the Union was most violently and dau terously attaoked. A party which, from the eginnlng of history, had been the strenuous advocate of State rights, allowed ttselt to he seduced Into the bogs of virtual seces slonlsm by the jack-o'-lantern of State sovereignty. A party whose traditions are all to favor of the most vigorous and relentless prosecution of war while war lasts, took lor Its leader a general who never attacked the enemy, and who always thought more of the olive branch than the sword. A party whloh has notoriously succeeded by taking np successful men, for almost the first time to its history adopted as Its standard-bearer a man who, whatever his meilts, had oertalnly been unsuccess ful. A party which has always claimed the pecu liar and shining merit of being the workingmen’s party, committed itself to the support or an insti tution which robs the free workingmen of em ployment, lessens their wages, deprives their children of education, %nd degrades all laboring men to the level of slaves. Finally, a party, one of whbse cardinal principles it bps been since the for mation of onr Government to resist every foreign in tervention in our affairs, accepted amongstlts lead ers men who sympathized with, If they were not allies of, a domestic revolt which rested for success In the outset entirely upon its hope of inducing foreign monarchies to overthrow the Bepubllc. More, It did not even turn out or “throw over hoard” those leaders, bat retained them In its coun cils, after they had secretly Intrigued with a British minister for Intervention. A party which thus deserted all Its most promi nent principles and its traditional polioy, could not Buceeed. lbs former successes insured its present failure; the very fact that while faithful to its ori ginal principles and policy, it ruled the country for a long term ol years, made failure Inevitable when it deserted the laith It had so long taught—fbr the people had eome to prize most highly those very principles which their leaders foolishly east away. • The following, from the New York Deader, a lead ing Democratic journal and the organ of Tammany Hall, discusses the questions which now agitate and divide the party, and does unwonted justice to some Democrats who have been much abused for prefer ring principle to party: ’ ' “Upon the main!question of Union or disunion the War Democracy is equally right,'and the Peaoe faction equally wrong. We have always held that the North could pnt down the;rebelUon; the Peace men have held opposite opinions. Whioh is right 1 We have always the rebellion was tbe dying throe of aristocracy upon this continent; the Peace men have heldjthat the rebels are the only true representatives oi democratic principles. Which is right 7 For an answer to these questions read the latest extracts from rebel journals. There we see Americans cringing to England, to France, and even to mongrel Spain. We see the organs of Jeff Davis .imploring an European protectorate. We see therebels begging to be madecolonlsts of foreign Powers. It is hard to realize that'men who were our fellow-counttymen four years ago should be re duced to such infamous degradation- Rather Qian return to the Union these blood-stained traitors, who have murdered the best men of the South, and many of the best men of the North, now propose to swear allegiance to England, to France, to Spain, to any monarch under the sun who wilTglve them a title or a bit of ribbon for their perjury. These are the leaders with whom the Peace men have sympa thized ! This Is the Southern Independence which the Peace men have labored to secure! Depen dents 0! a foreign Queen—colonists of a foreign' Power—this is toe position coveted by Jeff Davis and his allies, and this is the result of the efforts of toe Peace men of toe North. “This proposal of,the rebel leaders to’ give up slavery, to give up toe name of Americans, to give up everything for toe sake of the protection of England, France, or Spain, may be indignantly rebuked bv the masses of toe Southern people. We hope that it'will be, and that toe leaders who proposed it may soon swing from the gallows they have erected for patriots. But whether the Southern people rebuke It or not, toe Northern people ought to find In it a new incentive to prosecute the war with untiring vigor, and every Peace man ought to take advantage of this golden opportunity to range himself upon toe side of his country. If any hesitate,. they should be regarded and treated as of the same stamp as those who are plotting to sou half of oar territory to Great Britain. The Democratic party should be purged of them.' They are unworthy to live here and to share in our privileges. The Peace men have done the party harm enough already. They have caused ns to lose toe most lmportant'blec tion in onr history. Theyhavcdriven such Democrats as John A. Dix, Daniel i.\ Sickles, John Brough, of Ohio, Governor Fenton, Comptroller Bobinspn, Lieu tenant Governor Alvord, and others into the ranks of onr enemies. They have been wrong teem the be ginning, and now is toe last chance for them to get right. If they refuse, toe Democratic party must be entirely reconstructed. The traitors must be thrown overboard and the true men recalled. We want Dix, Sickles, Brough, Fenton, Alvord, Robinson, and other old Democrats back into the parly. They are worth a thousand Yallandighnms in patriotism and in brains. Wehave let toe Republicans use our best statesmen too long. There mast be a reunion both of this democratic oonntry and of toe glorious old Democratic party.” ' THE STATE. The Railroad aooidbnt near York—'Three Persons Killed—Mails Destroyed.—We pub lished on Monday a special despatch announcing too occurrence of a fatal accident on the Northern Central Railroad, near York, on Saturday morn ing. The following particulars Show toe affair to have been most serloos : The Erie express train, which left Baltimore on Friday night at eight o’clock, and the Pittsburg express train, which fol lowed two hours afterprere detained at Farkton by toe derangement-of toe freight trains near that place until Saturday morning at six o’clock, when toe Fittshurg express train, W. H. Harrison Gould conductor, was ordered to proceed in advance of toe Erie express, followed by toe latter. At 7.20, when about two miles south of York, at a place called Hyde Station, the engineer of con ductor Gould’s train discovered the local freight train coming down toe track. He at once gave toe signal for pntting down the brakes, bfit a coluslonwas unavoidable, and the two engines collided with a terrible crash. They are described as having been complete ly locked' together. The baggage and mail cars were demolished, but the passenger oars sus tained but little damage. The most serious part of the accident was theMHingof Mr. Thomas Grablll, baggage master, and two soldiers, whose names were not ascertained, and toe Injury of Mr. Gould, conduotor or the express train, and Wm. G. Hol brook and Robert Lamb, two of Adams' Express messengers, and a number of others. It !b asserted that the local freight train had been.started from York out of time, which was the cause of toe acci dent. The track of the road was considerably torn np, but a large force of workmen were set to work, and toe trains ran-os usual on Saturday afternoon. At the time of the ooiilsion toe three men who were killed were In toe baggage car. Grablll was In stantly killed, his body being mangled In a shock ing manner; Mr. Holbrook received internal Inju ries, but they are pronounced not of a serious cha racter ; Mr. Lamb had one of bis feet crushed, and received ether painful Injuries; Mr, Gould had his face and head considerably out, but was not dan feiously Injured. The wounded were all on Satur aynighb, taken' to their homes in Baltimore, as was also toe body of Mr. Grablll. Several soldiers who were injured by the collision were also taken to toe Patterson Park Hospital, in toat oity. The stove in tho baggage-car communicated Are to the mail pouches, some of whioh, together with their contents, were entirely consumed. Thirty-six mall pouches were taken to York, and delivered to Postmaster Frey, who had the contents, letters and newspapers dried, as a very violent snow and rain storm prevailed at toe time of the collision, which bad completely saturated a portion of toe m'ail mat ter. Ahont twenty-flve of toe pouches were sound, with the locks untouched, but the remainder were in a horrid condition, having been partially burned, and thoroughly soakeffwith water, so that toe let ters and papers were Scattered loosely around the scene of toe accident. They wexe, however, gather-, ed up, and, after being dried at toe York jtost office, were remailed. Postmaster Frey made a memo randum ol all the very pouches, and furnished the Post Office Department with the place of desttna ! lion o£ each, ft is said that Vilth. the exet ptiou cf a. few pouches toe gseat bulk of toe mall was destiaed lbr Western cities.

THE CITY. 1»or AHDirronAL pity hews «a fourth Pisa.j RELIEF FOB SAVANNAH. Notwithstanding toe Inclemency of the weather, a laxge and Influential number of citizens assembled at the Board of Trade Booms, at noon, yesterday, to devise means whereby the sufferings of the people of Savannah might be alleviated. The meeting organized by the selection of tlfe fol lowing officers: President—Et. Eev. Bishop Potter. Yioe President—James L. Claghom, Esq. Secretary—A T. Lane, Esq. Upon taking toe chair, Bishop Potter stated that he had been absent from toe city during the past ten days, and was consequently not familiar with toe details of the matter on hand; but, Upon the brogd principle that it was always right to feed the hungry asd. clothe toe naked, there eould be no question of what duty devolves upon us now. He hoped that some gentleman familiar with the mat ter would make some statements relative to it that would he of Interest, and which might forward the ohieots of the meeting. Mr. Steiner presented the following letter, from a prominent alderman in Savannah: Savannah, Dec. 29,1891. P. Steiner Co., Philadelphia, Pa.: Gentlemen Thank Heaven we are once more In toe United States ! I have toe pleasure to inform yon that I am sHII in the land of the living. I have sent yon a paper with the proceedings of a meeting held here to-day, which will convince you at once now toe citizens of Savannah are disposed. The,principal object in my addressing you is to ask you whether you cannot get up a subscription for toe poor and needy of Savannah, as they are destitute of everything, and snob, a movement as this would enshrine the Philadelphians In the heart of every citizen of Savannah. Incase you do-some thing, do it at once; twenty thousand people are destitute of all you can Imagine.- “What are particu larly necessary are bacon, flour, and potatoes. Mr. Charles B. I’urborrow stated that from letters which he had received from relatives In Savannah, there was no doubt in his mind that folly 20,000 peo ple In Savannah were In a destitute condition, and In need of the necessaries of life. There were In that city females who had been In opulent olrcumstanoes who were obliged to obtain cakes from the Federal soldiers and peddle them through the streets for a livelihood. He knew that no opposition would be made to whatever our citizens would do by the Go vernment. The proceedings of a meeting of citizens of Sa vannah, which was presided over by Mayor Arnold, were read from a copy of the Logoi Georgian, In the possession of a gentleman present. (The proceed ings of this meeting have been already published In The Press.) Mr. George H. Stuart said that while we had not a particle of sympathy with secession or rebellion, we should do all in onr power to relieve the distress of this suffering people. It Is an act of charity, we have been told, when onr enemies hunger to feed them, and by so doing we will show to the people of the South that we are not going to oppress them, and that when they lay down their arms we are ready to receive them back again. Bishop Potter remarked that the resolutions of the people of Savannah, adopted at their town meeting, were most Important. They were not an appeal for charity. They were an acknowledgment of the Government of the United States, and an assertion OI their allegiance to Its laws. He thought that their aotlon would have a great effect with the peo ple of the South. Wo should show them that we have still the same affection for them that we al ways had, and that when they lay down-their arms we will receive them heartily. . Hr. Beesley expressed his great satisfaction at seeing so many present Since he had heard of the sufferings of the people of Savannah he hoped to have an opportunity of doin g something for them. He knew that If the matter were properly laid before onr citizens they would give a hearty response. We have been commanded to feed onr enemies. Great pains were taken In the Sonth to make the people there believe that the North wanted to snbfagate them. Acting towards them with kind and charita ble feelings would be an additional Inducement for them to return to their allegiance. Mr. Durborrow moved that a committee of seven be appointed, with power to Increase the number, to solicit subscriptions for the purpose of purchasing a ship-load ol provisions to send to Savannah. Hr. Lloyd Smith seconded the resolution, and In doing so he said that he had been one of a commit tee who went to the relief of Bast Tennessee, and he was sure that this movement would have the happiest effect. He Instanced an officer in the rebel army, at Chattanooga. When he heard that his wife and children were-being fed by the United States Government, his heart melted, and he abandoned the rebel service. The resolution was adopted. Mr. W. Hunter, Jr., stated that the Coal Ex change had already started a subscription for the purpose of chartering a vessel to carry relief to savannah, not being aware of any other movement for that purpose having been begun. He-supposed that the two movements could be concentrated. Mr. Claghom moved that the committee he re quested to prepare an appeal to the citizens of Phila delphia to aid the suffering people of Savannah. Carried. The meeting then adjourned. The committee, as organized after the adjourn ment of the meeting, was composed of the following named gentlemen: .. Wm. Hunter, Jr„ ' Cadwalader Biddle, A. G. Oattoll, - ... Joseph F.

The Inquirer of Monday makes the following mis statement, which has been copied Into some of the New York papers: “An article published In a New York dally, and copied in several of the journals of this city, to the effect that Mrs. Gen., Grant has been presented, by a committee of gentlemen of this oity, with a splendid residence, and even stating the location of the same, Is an entirely premature announcement. It is tone that a number of Influential gentlemen have It In contemplation to offer some substantial token to General Giant or bis family of their ap preciation of the mighty work he Is engaged in, and which he is fast bringing to a successful Issue; but nothing of a definite character baa yet boon decided upon, and no official correspondence has taken place In reference to the matter.” We know that correspondence of a very definite character has passed, and that a house, lot, and furniture has been presented and accepted.
