Alr•Wa ABE ntDPIITED to a friend at Leesport, for bis
Interest in our behalf, which has shown Wolf by the addle
lion of several new eubseribers to our Leesport list.
TO OUR ADVERTISERS
We publish, from week to week, a number of
advertisements of Real Estate, Executors' and
Administrators' Notices, Orders of Court, &.e.,
for which the parties interested could just as
well pay the cash as not: but which, from the
habit of the thing, they tell us to charge to their
accounts, where the generally remain from three
to six and twelve months, and often longer, be
fore payment. Now, wheb i 24 state that all our
expenses have to be met with cash—that not a
sheet of paper is used in our office until it is paid
for—and that those who work for us need their
wages every Saturday night ; it may be imagin
ed that we often stand in need of the money that
this advertising should bring us, Any one will
understand that it is no easy matter to comply
with the " cash system " in what he buys, and at
the same time allow the "credit system" on
what he earns. In these days of universal cash
payments, it will not be considered unreasonable
in the printer to remind his friends that he is no
exception to the rule. We therefore hope cur
customers will, in all cases where it may be con
venient, favor ns with the cash for their adver
tising favors, instead of having them charged.
We have no disposition to be close-fisted or
dis
obliging; but make this request simply as a
" business necessity," of which all should see
the force.
CONGRESS
The 3M Congress will meet on Monday next,
and should there be no delay in the organization
of the House, we shall probably have the Presi
dent's Message on Tuesday. The political com
plexion of the House, as accurately as we can
make it out, is as follows :
Administrationists
Democrats ...... ....
Border State men.
Ot thelti Border State men, the New-York
Tribune claims at least i as Atimloistrationiele,
and they will doubtless be found on that side,
owing, as they do, their election to Adminietra—
tion influence. An out and out Abolition or
ganization of the House may therefore be ex
pealed. The Speakerehip appears to be between
COLFAX, of Indiana, and Was - anus:se, of Illinois
—the Clerkship, between ETIIEIIIDGE, the Clerk:
of the last House, and McPusason, an ex-Mem-.
Nu' (rent Pennsylvania.
THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC
The high hopes of a bola and successful ad
vance upon Richmond, that were enkindled in
the public mind by the recent forward movement
of Gen_ Meade, have been suddenly dashed by
the unwelcome news, received yesterday, that the
Army of the Potomac has again fallen book to
the Northern shore of the Rapidan, and is now
in its old quarters at Brandy Station, near
Culpeper. And thus has ended the eighth ng
gressive campaign of the largest and beat ap
pointed Army on the side of the Union.
This failure, for even the Administration pres-
Sea Iv call it, has revived the rumor that IA eneral
Meade will be removed from the command of the
Army of the Potomac. A Washington dispatch,
in yesterday's papers says that " G ell. Sherman
will probably be recalled from Tennessee to suc
ceed him in the command, though not with a
view to another campaign in Virginia the pres
ent winter. The army will remain in its present
position but a few days, when it will withdraw to
this side of the Rappahannock, with a view to
going into winter quarters."
POLITICAL RIOTBRO PUNISELD.—In the Lehigh
County Court, last week, ten " loyal " Black Re
publicans were convicted of riot for assaulting
and abusing a young Democrat some limo last
spring, at Hagenbuch's Hotel, in Allentown.
Four of the ringleaders were sentenced to pay
a line of $lOO and the costs, and the other six to
pay each $5O and the costs, which averaged in
addition $43 to each man. In default of pay
ment, seven of them went to jail. Another case
of Assault and Battery was tried, where four
" loyal " Abolitionists attacked one Democrat
and beat him. They were convicted and reward
ed for their bravery by paying $2O fine and costs.
P. B.—Governor CURTIN has shown his regard
for the impartial administration of justice, by
giving these loyal convicts a pardon.
J Jean JONES, Esq., father of the Hon. J.
Glancy Jones, died at Morgantown on Sunday
last, at the advanced age of 86 years.. He wag a

hnt..never practiced. He was a son of Col. Jona
than Jones, a soldier of the Revolutionary War,

vomit Line of the Continental Army.
DEATH OF GEN. SIGEL'S FATHER.—MOTHE Sigel,
the father of General Sigel, died at Illenau-by-
Achern, Grand Duchy of Baden, on the rith of
August last, after an illness of three days. He
was born in Bruchsal, in the same Duchy, in
1786, so that more than the allotted three score
years and ten were meted out to him. Ile studied
law at Heidelberg ; married in 1818 ; was ap
pointed Judge; and was a firm adherent through
life to the liberal school in the politics of his
country.
Mr Hay. 11. S. lthiLuo., pastor of "Salem"
Lutheran congregation of Lebanon, has offered
his resignation. The congregation will meet to
day to take action on it. During the nine years
Mr. Miller has been pastor at Lebanon, he has
baptized 483 children and 37 adults; married
283 couples ; confirmed 239, and officiated at 244
funerals.

SUBJUGATED POLAND.
The following letter from General Sum. was
read at the celebration held in Now-York on
Monday, in honor of the anniversary Of the
Polish revolution of November, 18::0:
Ilunotao, , Nov. 10, 18(13.
It. J. dawonowsnr, Secretary I'Z:4 Committee:
Pear :—Your kind invitation to attend a
met Ling for the contruemorni ion of the anniversary '
of the Polish Ilevolution, on the 30th of Novem•
ber nest, is received. Ido not know whether
my official duties will allow me to leave te,y
diav
triet on that day, but I am grateful to you that
yen give me an opportunity to express to yo — yi
and to nll the friends of Poland my sympat
and unchangeable friendship. During the last•
campar-iga in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
New Yetk, I took opportunity and did my best
to defend Otte cause of Poland against 'Russian
perfidy and tyranny, and to show lite great dis
advantages anti dangers of a Russo-American
The extravagant and exorbitant courtesies
lately bestowed upon simple visitors from a des
potic and half barbarous power, by men who call
themselves "Republicans," are sickening to my
heart, and make me almost despair of the cont
inua sense of the American people.
I hope time will destroy this error.
Truly and respectfully yours,
1. Stunt, Major-General.

But, if General Silt C'
be, a philosophical observ , l4ntrilie4ais of,4oen;
and of nations, he ought not to be surprised 'at .
the Russia-ward tendencies of his present poli
tical associates. The natural instincts of men
lead them to seek alliances with those in whom
they find points of agreement, and with whom,
therefore, they can expect to cultivate a recip
rocal sympathy. Might not General SIGEL find,
in the rapid strides the Administration has been
making toward a despotic government, and the
apparent satisfaction and even exultation with
which its supporters regard the transition, a clue
to the cause of the new-born love for Russia
which is "sickening to his heart," as it also is
to every true lover of human freedom ? He may
well " despair of the common sense," not of the
whole American people, but of that portion of
them which has run so toad on the negro, that
it is ready to sacrifice the dearest civil and poli
tical rights that a free people ever possessed, to
elevate him to a condition for which he is un
fitted by nature. For, if Sumner's infamous
doctrine of the subjugation of the Southern States
into mere provinces, prevails, will we not have a
Poland in America '.—mad a Russia, k:, !
Sb .* Tire li iI*TORATIPN of THE SOUTHERN
STATES.—The New York Herald remarks that
there is going to be a great deal of trouble about
the restoration of the Southern States to the
Union after the fighting is over. This may be,
if the radical and revolutionary designs of the
Abolitionists to degrade those States into terri—
tories, and assume to govern them as such, pre—
vail. Pat there need be no trouble whatever, if
our rulers simply observe their oaths, and ad—
here to the Constitution.. .
The New-York Traqaegivesout, with a sarni
official air, that Prim/idol : In is preparipg a
can commit treason or destroy itself. Rape°lei
may, by acts of rebellion and treason, forfeit
their citizenship, and subject themselves to thia
punishment of civil as well as natured death.
But, the States themselves are, in spite of the,
acts of a portion of their citizens, as touch part
and parcel of the Union to day as they ever
were. To allow any other theory, would be to
recognize the right of secession as a fact accom
plished, and to convert a war lawfully waged to
assert the authority of the Federal Government,
into a war against foreign powers for their con
quest and subjugation.
In connection with this question, it becomes
a matter of interest to learn—as we do, on re
liable authority—that an election was regularly
held in Louisiana on the first Monday in Novem
ber, as the State laws direct, and that Mr. J. L.
Riddell, of New Orleans, was elected Governor
of the State, and Messrs. A. P. Field, of New
Orleans, Joshua Raker, of St. Mary's parish,
and Thomas Cottman, of Ascension, were elected
Representatives to Congress. Tho Chase and
Stanton faction in New Orleans tried to prevent
this election, in order to keep Louisiana out of
the Union until slavery shall be abolished; and
we understand that military interference was
used to defeat the election, but unsuc
cessfully. If these gentlemen apply for admis
sion to seats in Congress, a decision as to the
relation the States that claim to have seceded
bear toward the Federal Government, will have
to be made by the Administration . . What that
decision may be are at a loss to conjecture.
But, if the elaiffnts can establish the fact that
they were elected by a vote fairly taken accord
ing to the Constitution and laws of the United
States and of their own State, and stand ready
to take the prescribed oath, we know of no power
that the President or Congress possesses, to pre
vent them from faking their seats.
ESCAPE or J 01115.1 Monaas.—John Morgan, the
noted rebel guerrilla, and six of his officers, es—
caped from the Ohio slate Penitentiary, at Col—
umbus, where they had been confined since their
capture, on Friday night last, by cutting a hole
through the floor of their cell, and then digging
a channel to the sewer, through which they
escaped. A thousand dollars reward was offered
for Morgan, and instant pursuit made. Two of
he gang have been recaptured, but the chief has
thus far eluded detention. Tho report that he
had made good his escape into Canada, io con
tradicted.
tier Tux STATI4MENT of tho Delaware Mutual
Safety Insurance Company of Philadelphia—which
will be found on the fourth page of this week's
paper—presents a highly favorable exhibit of its
affairs. The orelit of (Ws Company is undoubt
ed; and in the. adjustment of losses, it enjoys the
reputation of dealing liberally viib its policy
holders. M. Mation, E 9.1., is the agent for this
city.
oirllE VERDICT OF litsrony.—By Parton's Life
of General Butler, just published, it appears that
Gen. McClellan is entitled to all the credit for lay
ingdown the plan of operations in the Southwest.
The military genius and foresight of this able
but greatly wronged officer, arc admirably and
undeniably exhibited in the orders under which
Gen. Butler went to New Orleans.

Mr. C. Godfrey Gunther was yesterday elected
Mayor of New York city by a vote very nearly op

petitor, received 22,549, and Mr. Blunt, 1ii,492.
There are two aspects in which the result of
this election is important, both in end out. of

politics, proverbially incomprehensible to every
nun-resident of the :AI ate, and past finding out by

able to poll but nineteen thousand votes. This is
a result which every Democrat out of the city and
State may regard with sincere delight. Nor
would this view of the election be complete if we
did not add that Mr. Gunther, the Mayor elect,
is as determinedly opposed to the principles and
the policy of the Administration at Washington
as Mr. Boole is, or as any Democrat in the whole
North is. lie is and always has been a Demo

General Burnside humanely offered a truce to

On this (Monday) morning the weather is
clear with frost. All is quiet around our lines.
CFIATTANOOGIA t December 3.
It is reported by deserters as well as by citi
zens arriving here, that General John C. Itreck
inridge has died of the wounds he received at
the fight at Ringgold. A son of Breckinridge
and one of his cousins are among the prisoners
captured in the recent engagement.
PROFITABLE INVESTMENTS.
The Philadelphia irorth Ainerican gives some
excellent advice to those who wish to invest
money. It is well for all who are in funds to
heed, the counsel Though money has been
temporarily scarce, capital continues abundant;
and the recent tumble in the stock market has
brought captittlists to a realizing sense of the un
reliable character of many of the securities dealt
in. It is greatly to the credit of the Government
that its loans, of all the securities daily dealt in,„
on the market, have maintained their integrity',
of price better than almost anything else...lnif
Five-Twenty year six per cent. loan, the intir-r ,
eel on which is promptly paid in gold, tyloOre n.
subscribed to, all through the pressuiajZ I
money market, at an average of more than-twee
millions per day. And what is not the letieb.
gratifying fact in connection with the daily large
subscriptions to this popular loan, scarcely any
of it is returned to the market for sale. It its
taken for investment, and is held with unfalter-4 .
ing confidence in its reliability. And why should - ,
it not be? It is seen that the Government now,
after two years of the most gigantic war that the
world has ever known, experiences no difficulty
in commanding the necessary means to prose
cute it, or in paying regularly the interest in
gold as it falls due. If this can be dune while
the war is being waged, who can anticipate any
difficulty in readily accomplishing it when the
wor shall be ended? What better investment
then, fur capital, than the • Five-Twenty' Gov
ernment loan ? But if any doubt., let him refer
to t he statistics furnished by the census tables
of the various 'nations of the world. The facts
which they present will prove the most satisfac
tory mode of dispelling the ntheberless gloomy
apprehensions which are being continually con
jured up by those who are disposed to exagger
ate the extent of the calamity occasioned by our
rebellion. A reference to the state of most of

• Siar AN EARLY TRAIN TO lIARRISOURO.—The
Lebanon peopie are urging upon. rho mu ere of kiln
Reading Railroad Company the u,•ed of an early morning
train to Harrisbnrg, to retort. in the evening. Such a
train would ben great Convenience, not only to Lebanon
bet to Reading, and all the residents nn rho lino, portion
tarty during the larrhitale of the Letisiatnre. At present, lt
is impossible to go to Ilarriaburg and back the earna day,
in the paretenger trains, aid hoe time lo transact any
business, for there era only threeoinariers of an hour be
tweou the arrival of the morning train and the departure
Of the afternoon train. As a consequence, person. who
have business at Harrisburg, and who might make fre
quent tripe there, curtail their eialte nn. touch as possible,
rather than remain over night oftener than is positively
necessary. Tho Lebanon Courier thiuk, tts4t if thin de

E ill It TELEGRAPH roLES.—CuMtnon Coun

Committee on City Property to have the poles of the Ameri

strued into opposition on the pal t of Councils to allowing
the Telegraph Company any privileges in the streets; but
we are assured that thin supposition is entirely erroneous.
All agree in the opinion that it would Le a great conveni
ence to have the Telegraph Office in the very centre of the
businese of our city, and no one WiNilaN to previlut so de

HrrHE SECRETARY OP THE TREASURY
11 has not yet given notice or any Monition to withdraw
this popular Loan from gale at Par, and delft ten &Lys
notice to given, the undersigned, as •• GENERAL SUB•
SCRIPTION AGENT," will eoatinue to supply the public,
The whole amount of the Loan authorized is Five flue.
dreg Millions of Dollars. NEARLY FOUR HUNDRED
MILLIONS HAVE BEEN ALREADY SUBSCRIBED FOR
AND PAID INTO TILE TREASURY, mostly within the
last seven months. The large demand from abroad, end
the rapidly increasing home demand for nee as the bade
for circulation by National Banking Anociatione now ar•
ganizing in all parts of the country, will, in a very short
period, absorb the balance. &len have lately re aged Dad
ten to fifteen millions weekly, fregasutly exceeding three
millions daily, and as It le well known that the Secretary
of the Treasury has ample and nulaillng reeoorces in the
Duties on Imports and Internal Revenues, and In the imus
of the Interest bearing Legal Tender Treasury Notes, it is
almost a certainty that he will not dad It necessary, for
long time to come, to seek a market for any other long at
permanent Loans, THE INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL OF
WHIM ARE PAYABLE IN GOLD.
Prudence and self Interest must forge the minds of HMO
contemplating the formation of Natlonel Banking Aesocla•
lions, ad well as the minds of all who have idle money on
their hands, to the prompt conclusion that they should
loon no time In subscribing to Ibis moat popular Loan. It
wilt soon be beyond their reach, and advance to a hand•
some premium, ae was the result with the" Bevan Thirty "
Loan, when it was all sold and could no longer be sub.
scribed for at par.
IT IS A SIX PER CENT LOAN, THE INTEREST AND
PRINCIPAL PAYABLE IN COIN, TRUSTIRLDISCI OVER
NINE PERCENT. PER ANNUM et the present rate of pre•
mtnm on rote.
The Government requires all duties on imports to be
paid in Coin; these duties have for a long time pre
amounted to over a Qaarter of a Million of Dollars daily,
a sum nearly three times greater than that required in the
payment of the interest on all the 0-20's and other perm.-
at Lomas. So that it la Loped that the surplus t.iiii
the Treasury, at no dietant day, will enable the UMW&
States to resume specie payments upon all liabilities
The Loan te called 440 from the fact that whilst the
Bonds may run for 20 years yet the Government ha: a
right to pry them off In Gold at par, ak achy time after 5
years.
THE INTEREST IS PAID HALF-YEARLY, viz; on the
first days of November and May.
Subscribers can have Coupon Sonde, which are vivaria
to bearer, and are $lO, $lOO, $lOO, and $1000; or Reentered
Bonds of name denomitttione, and In addition, $5,000 and
$lO,OOO. For Banking purposes and for Inventmeob, of
Trust-monies the Registered Bonds are preferable.
These 0-20's cannot be taxed by States, cities, towns or
counties, and the Government tax en them Is only one•
and.a-half par cent.. on the amount of income, when the
income of the bolder (monde Six Hundred dollars per an
num • all other investments, such as income front efortda-
gee, Railroad Stock and Bonds, etc., must pay from three
to five per rent tux on the ineome.
Betake and Bankers throughout the Country will con
tinue to dlepose of the Bond.; and all orders by mail, or
otherwise, promptly attended to.
The inconvenience of a few days' delay in the delivery
or the Bonds is uffitvoldable, the demand being SO greet;
but as interest commences from the day of sobreription,
no toes is occasioned, and every effort is being made to
diminiah the delay.
