Hato S brightest banner that floats on the gale,

Wrapt in thy folds are the hopes of the Free,
Bawler*: Washiagtolll blesalnge on thee !
VICTORY!
The news of General GRART'S glorious victory
over the rebel forces under BRAGG, near Chatta
nooga, which the official advises received yes
terday Meta to fully confirm, came most oppor
tunely upon the morning of Thanksgiving Day,
and gave a fresher and more earnest impulse of
gratitude to the hearts of those who felt it their
duty to make public acknowledgment to Almighty
God for the mercies ggd bounties, and protection
from threatened dangers, which we, asa people,
have enjoyed during the past year. It is to be
fervently hoped that this decisive triumph of one
of our least bepraised hut most attaaonefid Gen—
erals, may have insured the complete rout of the
rebel armylin the South-west, and so hasten the
time when the whole country can join, as with
one heart, in a Grand Thanksgiving for Peace,
and a Union restored whose blessings may be
equally shared by the people of all the States,
and whose Government may continue to be,
what its founders intended, the benignant pro
tector of all—the usurping oppressor of none.
DISHONIsT CONTRACTORS rUNISHRD.—John K
Stetler, of Philadelphia, (formerly of Reading)
has been convicted by court martial of defraud
ing the Government, in having contracted to fur
nish pure prime Rio coffee, and furnishing in
stead coffee of a low quality and highly adulter
ated. He is sentenced to an imprisonment of
five years in the New York State Penitentiary at
Albany. Mr. Stetler figured in Reading several
years ago, for a short time, as a Bookseller. lie

_connections here, - who are mortified at his eon--
duct.

TERRIBLE ACM - MINT AT GETTTSBUBG.-Mr.
Hassell AL Briggs, of Philadelphia, who went to
Gettysburg last week to remove the remains of a
son killed in battle, and at the same to witness
the dedication of the National Cemetery, met
with a terrible accident on Friday last. He bad
picked up a shell on the battle-field, and, with
the intention of taking it home with him, under
took to remove its contents. He had the cap

report, and no horribly mangled his ban .1

otherwise wounding him. A fragment o
shell also struck a boy named Allen Frazer who
was standing near, out his body nearly in two,
and killed him almost instantly.
Poursarr or ItlcOmermatr—Mr. John Dainty,
17 South Sixth street, Philadelphia, has just
published &splendid equestrian portrait of Major
General George B. McClellan, as he appeared on
the battle-field of Antietam. It is a faithful
likeness and a striking picture ; and the pub
lisher offers it at a price low enough to enable
the soldiers who fought under " Little Mac "
and their numerous friends—whose name is
legion—to buy a copy, so as to keep constantly
in their mind's eye a true representation of "the
coming Man."
dOEV/CTIO3 OF A MORDZEFAL—James McCully,
alias Foxey Miller, who was arrested in Read
ing on or about the sth of June last, on the
charge of murdering Charles A. Brady, the
keeper of a small drinking-saloon on the river
shore at Marietta, Lancaster county, - was tried

township, Montgomery county, on Saturday, the
21st inst.., while he was engaged in cutting corn
fadder,—hie left hand being caught in the ma
chinery, whereby three fingers were so severely
crushed and mangled that Dr. Thomas J. D.
Rhoads, the attending physician, found it neces
sary to amputate the middle finger. The patient
is doing as well an can be expected.
PHOTOGRAPH ALBUMS. Dealers and retail
purchasers will find the largest and most varied
and beautiful assortment of Photograph Albums

W. Mamma, 326 Chestnut street. His adver
tisement will be found in another column, to
which we refer all who may desire to buy arti
cles of this kind for Christmas Presents.

liww Roma° MlLL.—William Mintzer, Presi
dent of the Bank of Pottstown, and John E.

" ON TO RICHMOND I"
The suffering condition of the Union prison.
era in Richmond, hag naturally aroused the Re
tire sympathies of the whale people of the North.
They keenly foci tie necessity of doing some
thing that. will lie prompt and effective fur the re
lief cf their tut fertunate fcllow•cnuulrymon who,
if the hail we hear ho ten., are pining of the
point of smolt idol-ration, on the wry
thres
hold of winter, when the horrors of famine would
he doubled in intensity. As the arrangements
between our own and the rebel government for
nn exchange of prisoners base come to a - dead
lock," with no prospeet of a speedy accommoda
tion of the points in dispute, and as Gen.
Me-ttle's progress toward the rebel capital ap
pears to be beset with all the difficulties and de
lays that foiled his predecessors, some bold and
adventurous spirits have suggested the idea of
raising a volunteer army, without rerped to aye, for
the special duly of rescuing our brave soldiers front
The bands of their captors, by force. This sug
gestion, chimerical and rash as it may seem, at
first blush, is not, by any means, impracticable
There is something chivalrous about it—the
charm of novelty gives it attractiveness; and
even the danger that it implies commends it es
pecially to the admiration of the plug

forward..to the support of the Army of the Poto

into the hearts of the enemy, and, in all human
probability, give that Army an caw vieiory.
The rescue of our captive soldiers, by the
means here indicated, involves, of course, the
taking of Richmond, and with it the diqpersion
of the rebel government. That accomplished,
the end of the rebellion would 1,3 within the
power of our government, and at once bring to
the test the sincerity of their professed desire
for peace and reunion ; because it would put
them in a position to offer terms, which, if dic
tated, not in the spirit of conquest and subju
gation, but in the spirit of coacilication and
magnanimity, would, as we firmly believe, be
joyfully accepted by three fourths of the South
ern people. With an end like this in view, we
could all unite in reiterating the cry of "On to
Richmond.' and bid its realization God aped.
WHERE ARE THE LEAGUERS?
The President's 'Proclamation, calling for
" three hundrei thousand more " Volunteers, by
the sth of January next, backed by Governer
Curtin's tardy supplemental appeal to the "good
and loyal freemen" of Pennsylvania, has met
with no response from the "loyal freemen"
aforesaid. The Leaguers of Reading who exhi
bited ouch icklecou4 /mote to ntotaupelize the cre

our returning Volunteers, have as yet made no

tf/W THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY for December,
opens with a well-told and at times painfully- pa
thetic story, entitled " The Mao without a Coun•
try," by Frederick Ingham, U. S. N. It pro
fesses to relate the life of a Lieutenant Nolan, of
the Army, who was seduced by Burr into com
plicity with his treasonable plot to found a
Southern Empire, and on being court mertieled
and found guilty, uttered, with an oath, the wish
that he might never hear of the United ;Pules again.
The Court decided, by way of sentence, that his
wish should be granted, and the plan adopted
was, to place him on board a man of war, whose
officers and men had strict instructions never to
name the United States in his hearing, or to al
low him to see any books, pictures or maps re
lating to his country. The reader is expected to
believe that, from Sepl ember, 1807, to May, NV.,
this sentence was literally executed, the quasi
prisoner being transferred from ship to ship as
each one's cruise expired, with the same orders
to its officers. The story is told with so much
circumstantiality and vraisemblance that the rea
der can with difficulty believe it what it is—a fic
tion. The other contents of the number are of
a superior character, and make it, altogether,
one of the best of the year.
The publishers—who never promise what they
don't intend to performe—announee a number of
new attractions for 1804, including a Romance
by Hawthorne, a poem by Longfellow, &o. The
January Number of The Atlantic, will contain,
among other good things, prose articles by Mrs.
Stowe, Miss Prescott, Bayard Taylor, Agassiz,
and others; Poems by Bryant, Longfellow and
Whittier; and a Christmas Story, by the author
of "Life in the Iron Mills." Now is the time
to begin subscriptions. Boston Ticknor &Fields,

THE PRESIDENT'S SALARY.—A number of
journals, says the N. Y. Fold, throughout
the country are calling upon the coming
Congress to raise President Lincoln's salary,
forgetting that there is a constitutional provision
which forbids any such increase until after the
expiration of the term of office to which the per
son interested has been chosen. Constitutional
provisions, however, in the language of an emi
nent civilian, do not amount to " pig tracks" in
these fast times. So we suppose the Congress
that is to sit in December will take this grave
matter into consideration.
RETURNING ReASO:T.—The Raleigh (North Caro
lina) Standard°laima that the Conservativec have
elected eight members out of ten to the Rebel
Congress. Those of them who anuouneed them
selves in favor of peace an any terms, awl who
were most severe in their condemnation of the
Rebel Administration, received the largest ma
jorities. The Conservative candidates also re
ceived a majority of the soldiers' votes.
" COLONEL" ALEXANDER CtI3ININDN, Of
" Scotch ale" and " straw hat" notoriety, has
been ordered by the Secretary of War to Arkan•
