Results, ious; successes at .Mp -'isher are muck the surface.' It is J&Krmk ;Jbav;e,. gained enor 7 1 at home, so great that of. the end palpably looms political horizon; but that they mußt.largely and favorably influence our relations-with foreign countries. .The immense quantity of cotton found at Sa vannah, a large portion of it being Sea- Island, which is* the most valuable, has been roughly estimated at eighteen million -dollars, ana may be considered as virtually -captured from the foreign sympathizers with the Rebellion, who were induced, on the representations, of Mr. Belanger. the banker, to lend money to “the so called Southern Confederation,” on the security of cotton which was to be deli vered to them through .the medium of the British blockade-runners. It is pro bable enough that this cotton, seized at Sa vannah, and now held in behalf of the United States, may be claimed by fo reigners as - belonging to themselves. Nothing easier than to manufacture ficti tious documents to support this claim, ahd nothing would be more absurd than to admit its validity. The captured Cotton is part of the-spoils of war, and will continue held as such, we hope. . ' the virtuous money-lenders over their hard cash to Messrs. Sli- Dffigpand Mason, as agents of the rebels, will ever become possessed of the cotton held for them, “ to be kept till called for,” in the 'would-be Republic of Secessia, is a' subject almost exclusively for their own consideration. Savannah ceases to be a storehouse for the valuable staple. There is small chance of running it out at Mobile or Charleston, and New Orleans is hermeti cally sealed against its exit. Now, latest and most fatal blow, we command the navigation to and from Wilmington, how a , regular ail dc sac to the pirates Tallahassee and Chickamauga, and the blockade-runners may complain, with Othello, that their occu pation is gone. When it isconsidered that, for a considerable time, supplies to the South were got in via Wilmington, and that the cotton to pay for them and to meet the demands for interest upon the Confederate loan', was got out from- the same convenient port, some idea of the in finite advantage to our cause by the cap ture of Fort Fisher may be approximated- It must act in a two-fold manner—it cuts off the rebel sources of supply from abroad, and it lops away the rebel credit in the money market of Europe. At this very moment, if report be correct, there is a project on foot in London to get up a new' loan Of three millions Ater ling for the rebels.'. This time Hr. Eblan ger, who burnt his fingers so badly by the former affair, fights shy of advancing any more money. The new loan, guaranteed by a promise to meet interest and principal in cotton, must fall dead on the market the instant that the fall of Savannah is known in Europe. The cotton captured there would have covered the required amount. And when, a little later,; our suc cesses before Wilmington are announced, the last hope of Bebeldom from foreign aid, political or material, topples over, and leaves not a rack behind. Capitalists, whatever their personal or political sympa thies, cannot be easily induced to lend; money where there is scanty chance of principal and interest being repaid. All reasonable prospect of running cotton .out of the South being at an end, all expec tancy of raising the wind by another Euro pean loan must be relinquished by the South. They are'excluded, by our suc cesses, from-getting money or money’s worth. Their supplies, hitherto' received by Wilmington, being stopped, they have only their own resources to rely upon, and, ■wpicacru, ■ raiey ■ iuifrinras - wexiib'airujjo/riv reed. Hitherto -ice have bad two foes to -oppose and defeat—the rebels at home and their allies abroad. Henceforth we have little to care for from the latter. ■ By this time : the fall is known in Europe. It would be announced too late to affect dhe Emperor Hapoleon’s declaration to the representatives of foreign Powers, usually spoken on each New Year’s Day.- It might be in time to influ ence Ms speech at the opening of the Legis lative Session. There was a foolish rumor that Napoleon and Palmerston would j ointly recognize the South, if peace had not been restored here by the ensuing.Fourtli of March. - No doubt it was a rebellious ca -nard, in which the wish was father to the thought. True or false, it can be nothing now. To propose any interference, any recognition of a rebellion which is now nearly worn out, would be presumptuous folly such as no foreign statesman could think of, without having first lost his com-' monsense. ; Lord Palmerston . will -be aware not only bf the fall of Savannah but also of the capture of Wilmington, before be has occa- sion to w?ite the Queen’s speech; to be, de- livcred at the beginning of the Parliament . ary Session, on the 7th or 9th of next month. The news of Porter's- and Teert’s glorious successes before Wilmington would he taken to England by the mail steamer which left New York on Wednesday. Allow thirteen days for the voyage, and the news will reach Liverpool by the first of February, and the fullest corroboration will he sent across the ocean by the steamer •to-morrow. We shall await, with more •curiosity than anxiety, the effect of the mews, following close on that from Savan nah, upon the public mind abroad—chiefly, indeed, in Downing street and the Tuile ries. Cabinet meetings will be ; suddenly improvised. The foreign telegraph will be in great request, particularly to convey mes sages between Palmerston and Napoleon; the sympathizers will have long faces and heavy hearts ; the holders of Confederate stock will sadly : mourn for their vanished cash; the friends of.humanity"will.rejoice,' and, most ' probably,. The: Times (to use a favorite expression of the; late Lord Castle mKAOß) will “turn its back upon itself,’’, congratulate the world on the approaching close of the rebellion in America, praisc.thc valor and conduct of our soldiers and sailors, "the wisdom of our statesmen, and the persistent energy of Mr. Lincoln, whom they may declare was .always the object of their most affectionate regard and highest admiration; Tlub political Fabla dekn is capable of saying all this, and its history records a change of opinion quite ■as sudden. This,-was in November, 1834, when, after having nobly fought and won the great battle of Reform, it suddenly veered round, to abuse Reform and its friends, and support - Peel, so long , its most bitter opponent. What it did be fore, it is capable of repeating-, but the .abuse and the adulation, the hostility, or the regard of such a merely venal ma chine as the Times, ought to be, and is, of the smallest possible importance. It has high influence, great power in England, but its continuous vituperation of this eouu try—misrepresentation of our public men— and championship of the traitors whose baseness precipitated us into the most terrible war that the world has ever seen, unite to deprive it of all respect here. It stands a sad example of talent prostituted for lucre,-, of power miserably 'misused, of influence exercised for the worst purposes. Savan nah and Wilmington will be words of awe in the ears of its; conductors. SETTER FROM “ OCCASIOIfAI.” Washington, Jan. 19,180,1 "We are in the habit of claiming that His tory will be vainly read for any parallel to the war for the preservation of this Govern ment. , The vast numbers engaged on both sides*""" on the side of the great Government itself, and, until lately, its remorseless assailants—and the marvellous improve jhents in the..artof, war, by land aind sea, may certainly challenge the, wonder .of mankind. But, whether it is or is not jlwsflMt the military aspect, of this finds no comparison or resem blance‘in other ages' or , generations, or even -in our own progressive times, it** true that the leading motive of the Go vernment, in directing the\rined efforts to maintain it, is wiser and more humane than.any which has been exhibited from the beginning of the world by other na tions. Yon have only to go back to Mr. Lincoln’s Inaugural on the eastern front of the Capitol, March 4,1861, ‘and then to carry your memory forward to the present stand-point,, to feel the force of this fact. He. said': “Wo are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may, have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mys tic chords of memory, stretching from every ’battle-field and patriot-grave to every living heart and hearthstone in this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, .when: again touched, as they surety will be, by the better angels of . our nature.” This may be called rhetoric, but a man like Mr. Lincoln neither uses, nor can he, in his place,; afford to deal in _ platitudes. I heard it spoken, and I hold it written, as a promise, and, as subsequent acts have shown, a promise well, wisely, and stea dily kept. And it is this view of the situa tion—a view- of that which is before hnd a review: of that which is past or behind us— Which stands forth and challenges a like manifestation in any other age, clime, or people. It is unnecessary to recite the events between the March of 1861 and January of 1865. They are as familiar as they were startling. Enough to see where we are this day. It was declared that we : could never subdue eight millions of ■whites who held four mi!lions of slaves. Weil, these eight millions pf whites, if not subdued by the Federal Government, were first subdued by their own ty rants, and are now being subdued by the good sense of Mr. Lincoln's policy, set forth in l Ms ■lnaugural, and, since, stern ly adhered to by 7«» r. ' THESE FOUR MILLIONS OF SLAVES HAVE BEEN MADE FREE. How V Not by any sud den process, but so gradually, and,‘so -logi cally, and so necessarily, that now the real cause of the war is given up by the slave holders themselves, till, in fact, the : slow method of Lincoln's Abolition is met by. the fierce Abolition policy of Davis and Ms conspiracy./ Shall I make this more clear ? The "arming of the slaves (not to speak of the proclamation of Emancipation, so justly j delayed , and so generally; doubted,) lost General Cameron his Secretaryship of i War ; and ypt Jefferson Davis only fears to I arm his slaves because they may fight against him. But this admits the whole case. No man fights for another man who is not forever after that other man’s friend, and no slave ever fought for his master, or his Government, who did not become en deared to the one and made free by the other. But let me proceed. Unity in the North, with its attendant prosperity, has been contrasted by disunity and starvation in the South. A happy people in one and a desponding people in the other sec tion, both of the same blood and brain, is a spectacle to make angels weep. If onr Northern comforts tantalize and” torture the ladies and gentlemen of the South, do you not know, and see every hour of your lives, that the sufferings of the people of the latter section constantly awaken the sympathies of the ladies, chil dren, men, and all parties of the North ? Mr. Lincoln well stated the argument in the poetic conclusion of his Inaugural, nearly four : years; ago—“ The mystic chords of memory stretch, from every battle-field .and; patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad.land.V And tell me, ; 0 Cynic! C Radical I (he who writes' these lines is as radical as any anti-slavery Demo crat on the broad acres' between Pennsylvania and the Plains, or between Washington and the Washita)—tell me if this is not as nearly true of the memories of this war as it is of Revolutionary recollec tions ? Some, indeed, have been bitter and 4A9&sXft e s ol!K & :: J!utnQte_that_vonr_tEiie9t_ cErrairy iaas been shown among the sol diers who fight and die’ And why? Be cause they feel that they are of one blood, and will yet inevitably come together. Be sides, as the war progressed, they discover ed what they were fighting .and were not fighting for. Their army has been a far greater Congress than that which sits, in the splendid pile now looking down on me in marble grandeur, for there the ques tions debated are grander, and dis cussed at the cannon’s mouth, or written with bloody bayonets. Soon the North erner ■ convinced the Southerner that this Administration was not lighting to destroy, but to save—not to break down, but to bring back; and very shortly the South erner saw, that he was fighting to destroy and. to divide. And can you hot imagine how these military legislators on picket or in prison -came mutually to un derstand these things ? There might have been a bone of contention between them, called - Slavery, but this was soon thrown to the prowling dogs when both perceived that Jefferson Davis was ready to arm the blacks, even to the ex tent of making them the companions of their former-masters, if that could make the de struction of the old Union complete. -And so perished all bad thoughts, and was horn a better and sweeter emotion, a memory almost as strong as that which Mr. Lincoln spoke of when he took the oath at the hands of Chief Justice Taney. Next, look to the generals in command of the armies, and thcwdinirals in command of the navies of the Republic. Following the example and the counsels of Mr. Lincoln, and obeying the acts of Congress and the laws of na tions, they have rarely been politicians. The successful fighter has never been a savagejn thei treatment of his prisoners, and the chief who has regarded the section he has captured with cruelty has always been re buked. Educated as many of these men have been in the regular army, and many others reared in the faith, of the old Democratic party, they one and all perceive that the re storation of the Union with the abolition of slayery and the forgiveness of the Southern masses is inevitable, and upon this belief they will fight all the more heartily when they see that moderate and patriotic coun sels on the part of. the General Administra tion are producing the happiest effect upon the; Ebuthern people. 'But,in proportion as these great -leaders perceive this effect and act upon it, s&6s. Petroleum—The « 00 a and Bad. The oxoltemont In petroleum has reached tha* point when all sensible andprudent men must pause and carefully consider the merits of the companies that now claim the attention of the public, tvo think It may be said that more capitallsnow invest ed In this new staple than in any manufacturing or mineral enterprise that ever claimed thb attention of the community. Many of our readers are under the impression that the business of working petroleum is like the old ex citements that we read of In financial history—south Seasotemes, Mississippi bubbles, the mulberryW terprlse, or the old Dutch tulip mania. Perhaps the uproar occasioned by this enterprise Is like that attending these “panics -,” but, unlike them all, there is at the bottom a substantial baste. 'Petroleum Is a substance, and not a theory. We not only read of it In books and circulars, but we see ft in warehouses. We buy It and sell it., It enters into oommeroe, and Is now as much a neaes. sity of our existence as light or heat. The old sup., plies for light and heat were becoming exhausted. ■ The oil that so largely entered into the Commerce of New England has declined or late years, and politi cal economists ware sadly at a loss to find a recom pense for the failing supply. In the midst of this perplexity petroleum came to us, and, while our fishermen were coming home after vainly searching the sea, the barren rooks of Yenango were vomiting forth to abundance a substance that was to surpass and supersede the long-endurtog whale. Of course, the advent of petroleum produced all the excite? ment of novelty, and the Budden wealth of the few excited the avarice of the many.' We have, therefore, seen petroleum forcing Iteeii Into commerce and usurping the long-established iron and coal, and even gold and silver. We had busy days In California, but they were got'to be compared to tbo recent dayita VfflWgo. tQd west ■Virginia. The Kanawha, the Muskingum, and the Allegheny areas familiar to our minds as the gold bearing rivers of California. We road of them' pretty much as we do of the fabled streams In the! Arabian Nights, on whose banks arose the palaoa of Aladdin, or the towering terraces of Bagdad, and understand them almost as plainly. Where the money comes from Is a mystery. We have'all been going to the bad for an Indefinite period of time, and yet the nation, which has given hundreds of millions to buy gunpowder and ordnance, has actually spared a hundred millions on certain wild and unctuous acres. Heretofore we hare been blindly spending all of our money. It has been a, risk with us, almost, we regret to gay, as muoh of’ a risk as that of the gambler who offers his purs 0 upon the contingency of a certain card, in some cases the card has won, and the gains have been large. But who has lost 1 We very muoh fear that the losing men are not those who catch the public eye; •We hear of men who have won thousands, but where are those who have lost ! : We ore no w in the sifting-time.. In a hundred 'days we shall probably see one-half the petroleum companies disappear. Probably it will be a smash, and somebody get hurt. But this very dread is teaching us. We are becoming more earefal. A few companies have established themselves. The Co lumbia, the Cherry Run, and the Maple Shade are remarkable instances of financial phenomena. Those who were fortunate enough to be in these made for tunes, and their stock now pay s the largest dividend in the market. Among the new enterprises we see snob companies as the Cameron Petroleum Company. , Tbis we specify beoauso It Is among the last,and, as its stock; is not in the board, we may speak of it without being invidious. The pros pectus of this company shows that it is managed with great tact, and gives promise of becoming one of the best in the market. The reason is that the company has a large property, and Is alreadypay ing an honest dividend, An interest in such com panies is an investment as much, almost, as an interest in our own State and national loans. When the shook comes, such companies will survive it, for they have wealth and character. Those of our readers who have money to invest should exercise great caution. All they need Is prudence, and they; may deal in petroleum as safely as in corn or sugar. SENTeßftijfs ARMY.

Fuel, Indeed, is to begounteiTchlef among the sinows of war, and fuel we have not hereabouts for the uses of the camps another winter. The celebrated “Yellow House” Is no more. Everyone in the army has hoard of the Yellow House, and can tell to a oertalnty where the Yellow House stands, or, rather, stood., It was the only great landmark in all this bleak, flat, marshy coun try round about; it was the only great prominent object of interest worth seeing in the army, next to Fort Hell. It was the only re maining relic of Virginia-in the olden time. There was something so warm, and oozy, and hospi r table, and altogether Virginian In the bountiful way ltwas put up, and In the bountiful thickness of the walls. And these great yellow walls, visible by day for many miles across the open country, had al ways a sunny,smiling aspect of good cheer about them that predisposed imaginative wayfarers to the belief that the landlord of tide Yello w Farm must be a fat man, with twinkling eyes, and that the house through tke dreamy summer afternoons. The fat man’s eyes shall never twinkle, nor the lazy watch dog snooze upon the porches any more. The stern reality oi war has set aside those pleasant fashions. The Yellow Farm, as yon may be aware, used to be Gen. Warren’s headquarters, (Bth Corps.) When that corps gracefully retired In favor of the 6th Corps, General Wright - took possession .of tho tenement, and, until day before yesterday, did valiant battle with big rats by night and day. At a little distance the farm was fair enough to the eye. It would have looked very pretty in a pic ture; but distance lent an enchantment to the view which a clearer inspection dispelled. The place, once upon-a time, was, no doubt, a fir3t-elass Virginia hotel, but it had fallen Badly out of repair. The window-panes were mostly bits of rag-carpet or worn-out soldiers’ trousers ; the floors had a cer tain pack of cavirg in like punk, beneath a vigor ous martial tread'; andofttimes,at night,-great clods of brick and mortar would come tumbling down the chimneys, impressing nervous subalterns With a vague idea that the rebel batterleß were shelling something. It wasn’t safe to lie to such a rookery, and a less romantic smuggery was deter mined onto secret council., .'i, v ' There was another -Important .consideration. Bricks and lumber, wherewith to build chimneys and other necessary accommodations, were nowhere ta be had for Jove or money, to all the miles around.

Sundry rats were killed;. sundry jests were made; and passed from mouth to mouth; and next morning, when the sun arose, there was no Yellow House to greet it, as there had dally been for more than fifty years, In war time and in peace. No vestige of the Yellow House re mains today; the site is occupied by.a few rows of unpretending tents enclosed by, evergreens, and here are the headquarters of General - Wright. - A party of rebel deserters—there must have boon twenty or thirty of them—arrived here this after noon. A more shabbily-attired band of Gidoonitos eje hath not seen; but a few of the number, sport ing straw, hots and canvas pants, presented com paratively an Imposing appearance. These men-: are unanimous in the conviction that the cause of the South is now a hopeless cause, and they all be lieve that before very long Lee will have to get out or Richmond, if ho wants to get out of It at all to safety.

City Point, Va., Jan. 17,1865. About Tour o’clock yesterday afternoon the rebel skirmishers upon our extreme left advanced and attempted to drive in our line of pickets fronting the 2d Corps. They catae dashing forward with their peculiar yell, and it was supposed, at first, that they were the advance of a more formidable body of the enemy. Our pickets fell back a short distance, but were immediately reinforced, and not only recovered their lost ground, bat punished *• audacity or the rebels by driv>—„ „„ " ' * ld “ 0t a few minutes, but its extent was not fully under stood at first; and a? jt might possibly be the pre lude to a iaofe Imposing demonstration, a portion of the 2d Corps and the sth and 6th Corps at once re ceived marching orders. The object -of the enemy can only be surmised. The opinion Is held that they merely intended the affair as an audacious foraging coup, being badly off for supplies.-But It is likely that they also de sired to be revenged for the loss of ground they sustained a day or two ago, when so much fine timber-land was taken from them. Timber Is getting to be as scarce with the enemy as with .our selves, and they are not half as warmly clad, gene rally, as our soldiers. Whatever-the purpose of the attacking party, they were completely foiled. And the martial spirits who fancied they discovered in this little hubbub an opening to a general engage ment which should astonish the world, confess, this morning, that their cherished hopes are blighted; for to-day it is drear, dismal, and stormy, and equal parts of snow,and rata are falling. The. rebel desorters who arrived here yesterday from Hatcher’s. Bun stated that the main force of the army was confronting ourlett. As it was hard ly.supposable that these men-, could have any posi tive information on such a subject, the news was not included to my former despatch. But now it seems [possible that It may have been correct. If so, ;tha demonstration of yesterday really meant more than appeared upon the surface. •- , About the same hour (four o’clock) yesterday af« ternooh, a rebel battery opposite the lines of the 9th Corps commenced to shell Hancock Station, bn the line of the City Point Bailroad. One of the shell* struck withtn four rods or the gallows whtoh has been erected at this point for the execution of de serters, etc., and another passed less than five rods beyond it.

And What Is almost of equal mo ment, it -presentsan addi tional reason why Richmond should-die'evacuated aid Virginia abandoned, not so much as giving us a now’ sea-coast base from which to operate against Lea’s communications, as in cutting off Item his ragged' soldiers those supplies of foreign arms and bloth-' lng which have bo long enabled them successfully to* maintain their position. '■-:?£■ This victory at Wilmington was nofa surprlser- The enemyihad Information, It seems, that a second expedition was about to undertake what the first had failed to accomplish. This news they doubt lets obtained from deserters. At any rate, they ob tained it~and believed It to be reliable. I have been told by a signal officer of the Army of the James; that a Jew days alter Gen. Butler’s late return from Wilmington, eighteenbar loads of soldiers were seen to arrive in Richmond. These composed the rebel Con. Hoke’s division, and they were immediately tramsiemd to Virginia as soon as it was-judged that Fort Fisher was safe. In this second assault' of the fort 'our troops were again confronted by Hoke’s division. From this loot it is evident that the enemy knew of our intentions, ana prepared to frustrate them. It is seldom that any of our men desert to the enemy. But the number,of desertions from the enemy Is Increasing according to the rule of arith metical progression. Bast night another batch of fifty men, gaunt In face and motley in attire, came over to our pickets on the extreme lett, opposite Fort Wheaton. They told the same old story of want and.sutfering and despondency, and there was Bad sincerity In all their words! In honor of tub Fort Fisher viotory, General: Meade, in compliance with an order from General Grant, directed a salute.of one hundred guns to bs fired along the whole lino this afternoon. The greatest or enthusiasm inspires the army, and the day has been a day of merrymaking. -J. C. Warner.- [gpeofal Correspondence of The Press.-! ■ ’ HEADQUARTERS BTH ARMY 005P3," January If, 1865. I had an extended conversation . a party of rebel deserters who came Into our linos on Sunday night. They were nineteen in number,.< and belonged to Hill’s and Early's corps. Bike all of the rebels, they. wore no distinctive uniforms. Anything which approaches a gray in oolor, whether it be of a brownish or yellowish hue, Is made to do service on the backs of the “ Johnnies.” The men whom I saw yesterday were all, however, warmly olad ; many of them, In anticipation of their oomtng into our lines, had drawn new uniforms, and had them charged on their pay which is due them. A rebel'soldier, these men told me; Is "allowed s9o' worth of clothing per annum. AU whloh he is furnished over this amount Is deducted from his wages. He is charged $l2 for a jacket, panta loons, or shoes, and $lO for a blanket. Somo of those deserters were Virginians, one of them, a well ; formed, Intelligent youth of twenty, was quite coin-* mußlcatlvo on all subjects connected with rebellion. He said he had, belonged to Early’s corps; which is now stationed upon Hatqher’s Bun In the right wing of the rebel army, confronting parts of our a I and 6th Corps, A. P. Hill’s corps, he said, occupied the extreme right o! their army, but the principal'. - portion of the Confederate forces Is posted towards their left and around Petersburg. This soldier, who, by the way, was anatlve of Lynchburg; and volun teered when' he was only.sixteen years of age, has been absent "from the army upon guard duty ever since the battle of Gettysburg, where’he received a slight wound, and was . therefore able to • give a. bettet Idea of the conversation and feeling of the citizens of the South than most deserters,. The account which he gave contains many matters." of encouragement to the lovers of the Union cause. He repeated' the bit-given statement that evory on# in. the Confederacy between the ages of seventeen and sixty-five, capable of bearing arms, has been forced into the service. He knew of private meet ings being held in citizens’ houses for the discussion of the advisability of urging their Legislatures to* renew their allegiance to the Federal Government, and was informed that similar discussions were tak ing place privately over the whole country. .What was the general temper of the people, or what was the general determination of these gatherings, ho was unable, to state. lie says that our troops, when taken prisoners, are given the same rations and treated In the same mannor as the convicts in the rebel military prisons. On the 7th of January my Informant was ordered to join his reglmentin Gen. Bee’s army, and he hailed the command with joy, as affording him the opportunity, which hV quickly seized, of deserting while on picket duty. On his way to join his regiment he passed through Richmond, and states that It seemed full or people, many of whom are refugees. Among the rebel troops the evacuation of Virginia is ‘ frequently dis cussed, and the soldiers have come to look upon It as one of the most certain of the oalamitous events which the.iutnre has In store for them. Six weeks was the ttoce generally allowed as the limit of the Confederate occupation of the Old Dominion. He had heard that arrangements were.

Several regiments of negroes, he reports, have been armed and equipped, and are now ready for the field. . - • v t When asked whether they would', boot any use. to'tte Confederacy, he was very emphatic in his re plies' 11 that they would be of much greater servleo at their homes on-the plantations. They would not fight,” he said, “becausethe war had been going onso long that they had all come to understand it,' and knew that they would be muoh better 'off in the Keith. The white soldiers, too, declared that they would not fight with the blaoks; and the latter knew that if they went into battle they would be. fired upon from the rear as well as from the front.” The poor follow who gave me the above Informa tion was one or the least warmly elad of tho lot. He has not been paid off by his oruel task-masters for more than two years and a half, and now that he was departing from the home of his youth,, friendless and alone, with no money In his pocket, and brit few clothes on his back, ho was naturally serious at the prospeet. He contrived, however, to keep a cheerful look as he told me of his plans. He had often heard of the fine old farms of Pennsyl vania, and It was to these that he was wending hie way for employment. I trust he may quickly find it. - ffc Another of these; men belonged: to tho Florida brigade of Gen. Hill’s corps. This brigade Is com manded by Gen. Firinegan, of pinstee fame, and only numbers about four hundred. ' The Floridian gave a very gloomy picture of affairs in the South} and in tholT armies. He declared that the talk oi desertion was so common arid -barefaced, that the men made no scruple of declaring their intention to •’ cqme over,” In tho very face oi tffoir officers. This was not the. only instance of the present want of discipline in the ranks. He gave it as hls opinion, and the other men seemed to agree with him, that tho spring campaign would ond the war; “ Bob l-.ee,” he said, would make one more fight befiffiefhe gave up. - The men, he Said, liked General not so well as they did Stonewall Jackson, whom’ho designated as the best man they ever had. : These deserters all concurred In bearing testimony , to the general state of dissatisfaction In the Southern 'battalions. As one expressed It, ? 1 the.troops are all tired of the war and* want "to give up.” Complaint' was general about the Insufficient-quantity of fdpd ■which was furnished them. .Their daily rational they said, consisted of threkquarters of a pound of corn meal and a quarter (nominally a third) of a pound of pork.

THE Itim BEIJf KOBtiKMIi9ITB SKSTE TOO IATJB. REPORTED COMMENCEMENT Of THE EVACUATION OF RICHMOND.' - : —Kolllu.— CSpeolal Correspondence of The Frees ] Bermuda Hundred, Vi., Jan. IT, 1865. The good news from'Federal Point has had a very cheering influence upon the troops ia the Army of the James, as evinced by the usual demonstrations whloh; follow every signal triumph of the Union army. The result Is what every one expected, though, as; usual, the chiefs at Richmond were In formed ofthe expedition under Gen. Terry, and had ' d espatbhed troops to the defences; of Wilmington. In a previous despatch I assured you that both North and South Carolina were being reinforced by the enemy from the'works In from of Ms capital. The rebels did not arrive in time or Ir. sufficient numbers to successfully resist the combined attack of probably one of the best, planned expeditions ever undertaken upon this continent. Under the inspi ration of this victory the forces In front of Rich mond never were In better condition or spirits to” attack the enemy, and could be relied upon to fully realize public expectations. ; ; ’Whether the Army of the James wilier will not move soon, are questions which depend upon ecu . tingencies. At present, however, that army serves a good purpose. It keeps Bee Around Richmond with all the forces he can raise, while Gen. Grant, with Ms anaconda system, is gradually environing him wish inevitable destruction. The Intelligence wMoh we' have daily received from refugees, that the evacuation: of Richmond is not only determined upon, but is actually com menced, Is very generally credited here In military* circles. The cause wMoh leads toThla dembfalizin® resultupon the part of the enemy is the unpleasant realization that the rebel army can no longer be fed in Its present position. The war has long since sus pended every branch of Industry In Virginia, while General Grant hits severed enough of theenemy’s communications to prevent the transportation of adequate and regular army supplies. The closing of the port of Wilmington may tend to hasten the event already'decldod upon, but where Jeff will set up his establishment next is a question wMch the future must answer. Military operations, may be summed up In a fevf words—ail quiet cn the James. NORTH CAROLINA, A REBEL ESTIMATE" OF THE VALUE OF FORT FISHER.

Northern and Northeastern frontiers, ren der additions* legislation highly desirable. He submits the draft of a bill to revive part ol the apt of March Bd, 1815, which expired by.limltation In 1817, since which time there has existed no authority for searching carriages and. other land reMcles, other than those crossing our frontiers. It is proposed to revlye this authority, and to extend the provisions of the asth section of the collection aot of 1799, au thorizing the searching of persons, Ac., under pro per judicial warrants, to Inspectors. Thls.is believed to oe necessary, as many ofthe collection districts are s o large that the delays consequent upon procuring the special authority now Required Jrom'colleotors naval officers or sergeants, for serving out search warrants to be executed at points remote from the port of entry, often frustrate the objects sought. The Secretary thinks it would add materially to the efficiency of the law If the vehicles and; beasts of burden, with all that appertains to them, were sub ject ed to forfeiture, as Is proposed by the bill. The other provisions regarding the giving of testimony by officers and others Interested in forfeitures, are believed to be necessary to an efficient execution of the revived law. ■ The attorneys; fees paid by the commissioners of customs from the appropriations for expenses at tending the collection of revenues for the year end with the 30th qf June, 1883, amount to $16,468, A for.the year ending' June 30th, 1864, to. $12,300.. xvmong the fees paid are those in revenue cases to E.

LEOIVBK ErY BBT. HSWBY WABD BHBCHBB, Last evening the Academy of Mualo was filled with an'&udleiiee assembled teilsten to Boy. Henry "Ward Beecher'* lecture on the above subject; The speaker was Introduced, about 8 o'clock, by Mr. P. B. Simons. His lecture was an entertaining .one, and was listened to throughout with, the best at tention. He began hi* lecture by reciting the well-known, legend of Beauty and the Beasf. Savage nations, lie then said, are but superior herds oi animals. The first condition of mankind Is scarcely higher than that Of reasonably good boasts'. It is to this under class of oommon-people that Christianity adOretses Itself. The rude and unlearned are really under an , enchantment, for Ignorance Is a sorcerer, and only love and'culture can' break the', charm. The beast then disappears, and there stands a son of God;' There Is no evi dence that the lower part of the animal creation has any apprehension whatever or relish for the beautiful. As the process of education goes on,' man begins to recognize the fona'and-spirit of beanty, and each successive development of the faculties finds In Its evolutions an element of the beautiful. This appreciation becomes known as re finement or good taste, and at this stage begins to he the Indispensable, vehicle of kindness or afiec tlon. Another modification now takes place, namely, that when the mind comes to Its own sense of beauty,, stream, and rock, and building, and atmosphere, signify not so much matter, but so many states of mind. We begin to think par sons beautiful as soon as we begin to lava them; indeed, 1 hardly think that anything we deeply love can be homely. Wnlle I hold the iamily to this general statement, I am obliged to make an exception to. every mother that ever lived. [Laughter.] Now, I do not- believe that beauty is over the cause of development or re finement. I believe it to be the effect of refinement and development. It Is not beauty that educates idao : ills education that develops Beauty to man. It Is sot tbe blossom that makes the plant grow: it is the growth of the plant that develops the bios’ sots. Mere form and color ate not worthy of the name of beanty; It Is only when they express some thing higher than mere formal qualities that they express the truest offices of the beautiful, , A great oeal 100 much has been ascribed to the ; educating power of beauty." I do not balleve iu : the holiness of beauty; I do In the beauty of holi ness. It is not tbe external shape, but the Internal moral element that has the quality of the beau tiful, I much doubt whether pictures or statues ever affected the savage mind beyond a transient wonder. Men may be Ijatlm presence or beauty years and years, aufi never leel its power any more than the .ortoive feels the power of the upon l it-*n: artistic beauty. A utu .. wnether the case can be found where a man was ever inspired to a nobler, a better life by the influence of beauty; nor do I think that an Instance can be found of: a nation whose ex cellence has-been brought out by beauty. Soma men have reasoned that because the Indian loveß strong color, that therefore he strongly loves color. Thefaot is exactly : the 'reverse. It is education which gives that sensibility by which we can perceive the lowest tones and finest lines, so that It is not the love of color, but the want of son sibllity to enjoy the lower -tones of color that the ...Indian possesses. No nation ever will be civilized by ait, nor will any olass'of the community ever be elevated and civilized by beauty. The lecturer then went Into a sketch of art In-Athens, and showed how religion fostered art there, and was developed by It aB a means of expressing itself. The Atheni an blble was given In pictures and carved In mar ble, but In the mldßt of this development of art the . city Itself was defiled with squalor and filth; U was a masked oity. Even Appelles himself dwelt in a room without a painting; Mlltlades In a home bare of ornament; while Alclbiades was the first of the popular leaders who Incurred displeasure by making .use of art to decorate his private dwell ing. Artificial elements are so far from educating man that they tend rather to drag him down. The most corrupt parts of the world have boon the most brilliant in an. I think It will be difficulty to prove to day that art is doing the world any good. When during the world’s his tory art was benefioial, artists were men; men that felt a divine inspiration, that stood a-head and shouldeis above ttelr fellow-men 1. They had some message to their times’ and were delivered of it through the medium of art. How many artists of the present day have any Idea that art is anything more than this—a capacity of the mind, and facility ’ of the hand to execute pictures that are pleasing"! The true artist brings joy to the sorrowful, oalmto the troubled mind. Unless the artist has a message to convey he becomes a mere decorator. The mas ter-pieces of art in Europe effect no amelioration in the condition of the people around them. Carving and cornices are nothing to them. The people are used to these things. It is only within the last' few years that the beanty contained In the magnificent realm of Gothic Cathedrals has attracted the atten tion of a certain class,-and efforts are being made to preserve them from destruction. The people, In their immediate vicinity, are but an Illustration of the saying, -“The nearer the church, the further from God,” Nor could I see that their interiors were any more impressive to this multitude. I aonfess that I never stepped within one without having my breach taken away; and at Milan so solemn was that Im - pression that I felt partly lilted outof the body. All the noise and tawdry show that was around about had not the power to disenchant me; they seemed no more to me than the moving of so many leaves and so many Insects in the solitude of some grand primeval forest. Biit the people were used to Ic, and when at Antwerp It required all my patlenee and charity to relieve them from utter contempt. Its cailenral looked as if the streams of some vast fountain rising In the air, with mists and fine vo lumes of-vapor had been suddenly turned to stone. I do not wonder that men can worship Idols, and. had I been a little more superstitious, I should have lifted up my hands there and bent the knees. Though I speak thus stsgngty of the help lessness of beauty to educate man, it is time to say that beanty exerts a reflex influence upon human nature and produces refinement. Ho if, then, stands tbe case with the American people! Shall art come to us from without as a mere "external thing, or Ehall it be developed from within by that general culture that enables the soul to appreciate the beautiful! Shajl this great people, with a future teeming with a glory that few suspect, buy their art withmoney ! How stands the case now! When ft man has a picture for whloh he Is reputed to have paid a thousand or two thousand- dollars, some other fool thinks that He must have the same, and sends an order for hla picture, just the same as the man who said, Send me books, just enough to All a space .twenty.five feet by ten. [Laughter.] Now we have, and are'to have, a de--’ gree of popular .Intelligence In this country quits unknown In the world hitherto. The-Puritans 1 brought out-with them the Idea that every man carried In Mm the rights and dignities of the Eternal One. Education, with the people of; these Northern States, has sprung up from moral and they'have been so' educated that they now measure bigger than any: other na tion under the heavensana measure finer, too.. It has been found out In these latter years that Intelligence breeds patriotism, and that Ignorance breeds treason.' [Applause.].. With a few shameful esceptlons tho great mass of those who have been in sympathy with the rebellion have been Ignorant men, and the most of those who have beempatrlotie have been intelligent men. [.Renewed applause.] Wehave to educate the people to keep up our na tional life, and we are now about entering upon a crusade on the subject 'of the . common schools. People will become crazy about it; and let mo say that the nation that don’t know how to be crazy; don’t know how to be sane. - Mr. Beecher next descanted on the great national resources and tbe huge mass of wealth-producing classes in tbis country, and endeavored to show that national debt need hot produce any apprehension for the future, but, on the contrary, that we require these “ harnesses,’’ because we are so prosperous that the dangers lie the other way, and he illus trated the proposition by saying that the man wao owns a million dollars and owes twenty-five is not - to be pitied. With sceh intelligence In the future to create an art want, ’ and “with such wealth to create art, it becomes of much impor tance how It comes to us; whether as friend of the Inward man or merely as a decorator of the out ward man. I hold-it to be a question that belongs to tie growth of the religious element of the nation, and It Is therefore needlul that the people should be educated to an appreciation of the beautiful. So ciety has gone through certain great periods, and we are just going to what may be termed the Arnett ; cin period.' It has gone. through the monarchlal, the ecclesiastical, the medieval, to the plutocratic, where art works for the rich man. Having no one great inspiring idea, with no great aim, no great aspirations, it simply, works for a patron. Titov paint horses and cattle In England because they tell, but there is .no great predominant school of art anywhere. Now we are coming by the controlling force of great national Ideas to the period In which there la to be another school of art—the household of . to-day. That Is to be the eohbol, and that Is .to be the exceeding great reward of American art. The one word that to an American has more meaning than any other In the language Is-home. Bound about this Initial point, thisspring of American Ideas, art Is going to revolve, mi that man Is going to flourish who paints with this idea, and who understands best the feelings of this great Amerloan people. As yet I see hut very few men who understand their times. No man is fit to be a teacher unless he is finely organized-uhless he sees nature with finer feeHngs than men ordinarily do. The lecturer bestowed a word of praise on Church and Ince, but mentioned none others by name. EIRE IN THE FIRST WARD—HORSES BURNED. Between twelve and oneo’clock, this morning, firs, broke out in .the stable pf Hr. Oharle3 Whlteraft, on Greenwich street, above Second, north ward a distance of one hundred and fifty foot. The stable contained a considerable 'number or horses seven of them being rescued. It was reported that eight rur ''ten perished in the flames. These horses belonged ' to poor men, who sell potatoes and other vegetables in the street, and the loss will fall heavily upon them. Intone end of the stable, on Greenwich street, were stored away a number of barrels of coal oil. Some of this took fire, and Beriously threatened a row of ten two-storv brick houses fronting on Second street, Boor or five of these dwellings took fire in the rear, and were somewhat burned, but not to a very great extent. The freshly-fallen snow that covered tne roofs Bneedllv melted under the power of the intense beat, and running down °«r the eaves, to some measure checked the progress of the flames, yet roaring and crackling and bursting up with all the toy ofa vol cano. The .wind was blowing fresh from the west, and the temperature was keenly cold. The Inmates of the dwellings were awakened by the police and; neighbors who happened to be up, and the work of carrying the children from the threatened buildings, the screams of the women, &0., conspired to make a thrilling and ter rifying scene. A valuable dog, and a number of pigeons, perished In the flames. Some of the fire plugs in the vicinity were found to be frozen, but by the application of steam from the steam engines the water was soon ifiade to flow. In half an hour the fife was cheeked to its wild progress, and the minds of the neighbors were relieved from any further apprehension. ' : Fnbilc Kaggrtalnmenta.
