gT?g Sinittirg American H. Tt. JUaajpa, Bdttor At ProprletorT SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 0, 1864. 15? Our notiCI and comment! in regard to tbe .Mack on the office of the Democrat, tf this place, by tome of the soldiers of 4 Kcv? York regiment, met the approval, we can salcry ear, of every honest, candid and Intelligent man in this community, but the Ba-Unsgrne Timet, a more than semi-rebel sheet, edited by a half-witted political char latan, not only question! our motivca, but reaorte to tbe most barefaced falsehoods. True, it may be aaid, and ia said, by many of the most respectablo citizens in Sulins- gTove, Democrat! and Republicans, that the fellow is half crazy, and that they should sot be held responsible for hi! treasonable and slanderous articles. But we are co trained to notice the assertion of a few alleged facts : "It is sheer hypocricy for the editor of mo Mmrrvxm 10 pretena to regret the de- uucuoiiui iue Democrat, when it is noto riously known that he rejoiced in mobbing heretofore; and, even on this occasion, the editor of tbe American and several other Aoo.itionists were seen together in a certain yiucc rejoicing, uie next morning." That a fellow who has openly advocated ana justified the secession doctrine of the rebels, discouraged the enlistments of our soldiers, and advised his deluded readers to assassinate, if necessary, government oflicersi who came to enroll them, should attempt to lecture loyal and henest men, on the impro priety of encouraging mob law, would be - ludicrous if it were not for the base and heinous character cf the offence. We need not inform our readers, that there is not a word of truth in the above paragraph, and no respectable man will say so. "While wo are ready to condemn every outrage upon private rights, we protest against any attempt made to implicate this community in the perpetration of this act of violence. From all we can learn, not a dozen men knew anything of the transac tion, and among those were several of Sir. Purdy's own political nnd personal friends, who, at least, saw the soldiers enter. The opinion that our soldiers are ignorant, and know nothing of the character of the Press, as conducted by men of the Vallan- oigham stripe, is absurd. Thero are hun dreds in the ranks, whoso intelligence Rnd information would compare favorably with many who figure as editors of newspapers. The idea of retaliation in a community wnere tour-li'tlis beiong to the Union party, ia not only improper but simply ridiculous- THE EEBELLION NEAB ITS CLOSE. The rebellion is evidently drawing to a close from mere exhaustion. TI113 is a natural consequence. In numbers, the rebels are less than one-third a3 compared with the North, and our resources are ten limes as great. If not another battle is fought, they must succumb to the force of circum stances. It would bo then only a question of time. They forsee all this, and are.no doubt, making preparations, as a last des perate effort, to invade Pennsylvania or Maryland. This, we believe, is the impres sion of those in authority, and this, we presume, will account for the additional draft of two hundred thousand men. We have no idea there will be much general lighting. One or two severe battles must decide the result, so far as tho rebels are concerned, and nothing can save them but a complete and triumphant victory on our soil. This is their last and only hope. ' Faint ss this hope is, they will, 110 doubt, make tho trial. There is but one elemcrt that affords them any encouragement, and that is, the triumph of the copperhead branch of the democratic party who cry pence when there can be no peaco except in submission. Unfortunately they control tbe organization, and by creating dissension and division in their appeals to partisan prcdjudicea nnd passions, givo encouragement to the rebel leaders. No true democrat would sanction such course, but, unfortunately, a few de signing men rule, not only the ignorant, but many well disposed men, who yield to the pressure of party, for fear they may lose cast among the leaders. . Their patriotism and every manly consideration is sacrificed to party measures. Pitch, was not the de mocracy of Jefferson and Jackson. IW Sorouum Si'oak. The National In telligencer Bars there is a gentleman in Washington, about to take out a patent for a process ol converting Sorghum syrup into sugar who can, in the course of a few minutes, produce a clean and pure sugar, equal, in all respects, to the best coffee augar. This is a valuable discovery, if as atated, and will enable any northern farmer to produce bis own crop of sugar. t V The President's call for half a mil. lion of soldiers looks lika earnest, and will be gratifying to loyal men who desire to see this unnatural war terminated. Volunteer enlistments are tjoing ou, many good demo crats and others are of opinion that a draft Is the tbe fairest way of recruiting.

Mint. Wo are indebted to Hon James Pollock, Director of the U. 9. Mint, at Philadelphia, for hU annual report, ending June SO, 1SC3. Tho amount of bul lion received at the Mint, during tho year, was as follows : Gold, $23,149,44)5, Silver l,C74kC05. The coinage was as follows: Gold, 20,095,S52. Fine gold bars, $1,1)49, 877, eilver coins $1,171,002, silver bars, $390,204. Cents coined in value, $478,450. Total coinage, $24,083,477, number of pieces 51, C$0,575. At Sun Frenciaco, tho gold coinage was $17,510,030; silver, $815, 873. Silver bar3 $224,763. Gov. Pollock mokes some valu able suggestions in regard to some of our coins. He says tho 12 per cent, of nickel. valuablo metal, used in our cents, might be saved, and ndviscs as a substitute 5 per cent, tin and zinc, which is the proportion used by tho French. He also recommends tho new metal "Aluminum ' for five and ten cent-pieces, 03 a substitute for the postage currency. He also suggests a new motto, recognising the sovereignty of God as a nation and savs : "The motto suggested, 'God our Trust,' is taken lrom our National llvmn. t in Star-Spangled Runner." The sentiment is familiar to every citizen of our country it hus thrilled the hearts and fallen in sorte from the lips of millions of American Free men. The time lor the introduction of this or a similar motto, 13 propitious nnd appro priate. 'T13 nn hour of National peril and danger an hour when man's strength is wenliness when our strength nnd our na tion's strength and salvation, must be in the God of Butties and of Nations. Let us reverently acknowledge his sovereignty and let our coinage declare our trust 111 Uod." fT" Ten Cent Patriots. The Blooms- burg "Democrat," nud other Copperhead journals, arc urging the collection of a fund for Vullandigham, by the ladies who are to take the matter in hand. Ten cents is tho sum fixed as a contribution. Surely the treason of Vullandigham, if worth anything, should bring him more than "ten ceuts" from his admirers. The "ten cent'' pataiots 'are not all dead yet, but they must be in a bad wny, indeed, when their organs public ly solicit charity. EST" Why is it that tho Copperhead jour nals to refuse to publish the speeches of Gen. Gantt and other Southern Statesmen, who having left the rebels, came into our ranks, and aro now b'ntthng for the Union. Is their democracy r.lso, doubted, because they repudiate Jeff. Davis. MT"Tiie Resignation of Scratch White. The Senate will be orgauized. Every loyal Pennsylvania!! will rcjoioo on reading the noble letter of Senator Harry White, which we publish. The business of the State will be transacted in sp!te of the Opposition. Senator White's letter is dated n November nt the Libby prison, nnd in a noble spirit he declares that his liberty and ifo are nothing compared with the great principles of tho national cause. Even in a rebel prison ho cares more for the interests of his native State, than tho sixteen mem bers of tho Opposition, who sacrificed to the pride of party tho welfare of the people. The Wilkes-Barro Time, the leading pnper of that borough, thus speaks of the difficulties tbt'.t publishers now labor 'undrr on account of the rise of prnr, lulor nnd ma terials. It may seem strange to some not posted, that, if it wero not for tho Jobbing and advertising patronage, many of our best papers could not be stistainud. The case stated by the Timet is applicable to nearly all newfp-;per publishers. "When we commenced the publication of the Record of TnK Times, nearly eleven years ago, printing paper was delivered at our office at $0 per bundle. A bill of paper before us of 30th January, ledl, makes u Dr. to 13 bun.l'HS $IC3 tiJ at tbe mill, to which fnight Is to be added, making about $'.1 per biiiiilii'.

Taylor, of Tennessee, another able Southern man, met ia Philadelphia recently and both mode able speeches in aid of the East Ten nessee Union men. General Gantt waa for merly a General in the rebel army. Mr. Taylor remained true to the Unipa. Gen. Gantt thus refers to slavery as the cause of tha rebellion ; Nearly four years ago and counted by anguish, and sorrow and desolation, it is a fiarful age the speaker was on a Breckin ridge platform. He was a Breckinridge elector, and wanted him chosen the Presi dent of tho United fJtntcs. There bo met Colonel Taylor, and once, in an hour and a half's speech, in burning language and pas sionate oratory, Colonel Taylor bad dwelt upon the glories of the American Union, nud the irretrievable ruin which must at tend the overthrow of the Union. The next night the speaker tried to answer him, and nt'ier the debate they were separated. "To-night," said General "Gantt, "we meet for the first time in these long years of trial and blood, and although men 'in the North have said I have no mnuhood in me, because I have returned to the Union, yet I have manhood enough tosny, that you were right, Colonel Taylor, and I was wrong." The cause of the war was adverted ta. and the speaker apologized in advance for saying what ntiht be auptdntuble to South ern men. When our Government was framed, no smii piece of mechanism, no such political vcssi-t ,vns ever put upon tho 1 waters is was created bv Yitsliimrton nml his confreres. . There was nn outsiilH rlcmrmt. of danger to the Union. Thev who founded it wat'.-be.l it Carefully and well, nud the great roor rdiead was neL-ro slnvcrv. The agitation rf the shivery question neve? tuscd it. Had there been no neero slnvcrv there could have been no rotation. Settle ment of it was ttsclcss. The attempt to do that was like the course of nnuuek. who. when a man came to him with a. imil driven into his bund, doctored bis back, poulticed his neck, and blistered his breast, nnd never Hilled out. the nail and cured tha wound. Langhter. Settlement has been tried. Tn lfiSO the Missouri Compromise was considered. It was not n cure to tho diseased country. It was only an application to the wounded part, without any true measures tocradicato the evil. The patchwork did no sood. In 1S54 it enmo tm a2nin. and the whole trouble began anew. A doctrine that could not be controverted was, that slavery would be circumscribed nnd would sting itself to death. Mr. Lincoln said the country could not exist hall" slave nnd hull free, and the South knew it and wanted it all one wav. nnd that wav. all nc'vo slnvcrv. Comnrn- ia was proposed. iut the "compromise failed, and then secersion wr.s propose.!, and secede the South did. But negro slavery was ail the idol. The secessionists seceded. and what tor? vhvto protect ucirro slaverv. Ar.d the Union men Btuid in the Union. What for? Whv to protect nrirro slaverv. The Northern conservatives were against the sul i.i ligation of the South. Subjugation would bo the best thing for the South, if it would be the means of restoring them to the 1 nion, nnci giving t lie old liag free sweep from one end of the land to the other. Negro slavery caused the war, and it shall be subjugated. Mr. Fernando Wood 1ms the CiTronterv to deny, in tho House, that, while Mayor of New York, he scut a dcsimtch to Georgia regretting that arms intended for that State had been stopped in New York. He aver red that his dispatch related to merchandUe only : litre are the dispatches : "Miu.EDonviu.2, Jan. 21, 1861. " To JtU Ifjiior Mayor Wo-jd. "Is it true that nny nrms intended for and consigned to the State of Georgia have been seized by public authorities in New York ? Your ans-.ver is impoitant to us and to New York. Answer at once. It.

"As Mayor 1 have do authority over the police. If I hi.d tho power I should sum marily punish the author of this illegal and unjr.slLiub'c seizure of private property. "Fi:r.NAMDO Wood."

This letter has never been in the hands of Governor Cunin, Judge White, in fatherly zeal for the release of the gallant Major, having retained the letter, as author ized by bis son, until his own views of duty to the writer and the country compelled him to hnnd the letter over.

LlBBT PttlSOS, RlCrfMONO, Va., ) Nov., 18C3. f Ho)i. J, P. Penney, Speaker nf the Senate of Pennsylvania : Deaii Sir : Considerations I shall briefly stato make it prudent and proper for me to tender my resignation as a member of the Senate of Pennsylvania. After the adjourn ment of our Legislature last spring, I rejoin ed my regiment nnd resumed my military duties iu the field. Upon the advance of General Lee's army, iu Juno lust, into the Shenandoah Valley, on his Pennsylvania campaign, tho forces with whbh I was con nected were ordered to Winchester, and in the battle ut that place I fell into tho hands ot the euemy as a prisoner of war. With other Federal officers I was immediately sent to Richmond, nnd since the 23d of June have remained as a prisoner in the "Libby." No general exchungo of officers has taken place in the meantime, nor does any appear to me in early prospect. Shut off for long months from friends and nntcr .-riri have yet not been entirely ignorant of pass ing events. The recent election in gur State has, I learn, altered somewhat from the last session the political complexion of our Senate. My absence, it scorns, gives to each political party represented there equal nu merical strength. This will, in nil probabil- ...1, viu.mnui.i uigauizaunn ana delay ne cessary legislation. I regret this situation, and am unwilling my present personal mis fortune should in any way affect public interests, or interrupt for a moment thut cordial co-operation between our Stnte and Nationul Governments so necessary in this crisis. It is true, some time must yet elapse before my preseuce in Harrisburg is actually required, yet as I see no hope of release, by general exchange, as the Rich mond authorities will, I am convinced, retain me as long ns possible because I am a Senator, and my vote important. Under the circumstances, it behooves mc to do what I can to relievo the difficulty likely to result from my continued imprison ment. I am sure you will not doubt no when I confess it would bo much more ac ceptable to my tastes ar.d feelings to gpend the months cf tho coming winter it active legislation in our Senate chamber tliun in languish within the gloomy walls of a souuiern prison. My present situation places the less agree auie alternative 111 prospect, and I see but one solution to the dillicul tv : oilier imil greater interests nro involved "in this matter man my personal comfort nnd private incli nations. My health, my life, aro nothing to the success of those great principles 1 was ieeieu lvj represent. The good venule of mv district rn rl.i..n,. interested in this mutter, nnd my duty to iueiu iu mo jircmiscs lias given me mauy nn hour ot anxious solicitude in this wcarv prisou life. I cannot now in any way con sult with them ; they should not, how ever at tins time, go unrepresented. Their genc- luiia luuuucueo w us out Scully given me and they will, I trust, givo U10 approval of their voice to the step I now take, and select ns my successor one who will be as faithful to their interests and the great cause of our country ns I, at least, desired to be. Bo pleased.thercl'ore, to accept my resignation as a Senator tirom tho Twenty-first Senato rial district. Be kind enough to convey to my brother Senators assurances of respect and esteem. Tell them, "though cast down I am not dismayed," though iu bond, I am full of hope. Tell them my prayer and trust is no word or deed may go out of the counsels of your Senate "to w eaken the arm or make faint the heart" of those bravo sol dier of the Uuion who are bearing in the Celd to a sure and triumphant success the greatekt struggle of history.

Mr. Davis, of Keutucky, rose to a privi leged question, and explained ut length the action lie had taken in regard to the expul sion of Mr. Bright, and bis colleague, Mr. Powell. He thought Mr. Morrill had depar ted from his usual courtesy and magnanimity in introducing those subjects in the manner he did. In his (Davis ) resolution toexpil Mr. Bright he admitted that a Senator could not bo expelled for his words or opinions,, but only for his acts. His resolution for the cxplusiou of Mr. bright was Imt-ed upon the fact that that gentleman had written u letter to Jell". Davis, as President of the Southern Confederacy, recommending to him a person who had nn improved weapon to be used agaiust the lawful Government of the United Stutcs, aud also because Bright had uniform ly voted against all measures to carry ou the war. As to the confiscation bill introduced by him, which was referred to by Mr. Morrill, it was a substitute for a bill entirely pros peclive iu its character. His bill proposed an adjudication in the courts of the country, uud intended to forfeit the estates of traitors only duriug the lifetime of the offenders. air.

He held that the people had un indisputable right to organize their own government ; but if they refused to do so it became a matter of necessity and principle, as decided by Chief Justice Marshall for the United States, to establish a civil govern ment for them.

The London Timet publishes an extract from a letter of a British oCicer ut Charles ton, dated the 16th of November, as fol lows: "I went vestcrday evening (the-15th) to Fort Sumter. It was a most interesting expedition. Tho federals use a powerful calcium lisiht ut Battery Gregg, with which they illuminate Sumter to such a degree that it is impossible for steamers to go up to the wharf at night ns they used to go, and we had to land ii) row boats. They wero shelling very rnpidly,. and it l.'Cciiine most exciting when we" reared thu fort, especially when we chiiic into the glate. of the calcium liuht, and they could see us. No accident befell us, however, as wo went in. and once inside the place, and in the l oniiiproof, we wire perfectly safe. The bombproofs arc lofty and spacious, and well ventilated. The last bombardment has not injured them in the slightest degree; indeed they are, if anything, really stronger than before, from tbe amount of thu dtlra knocked down upon them. Ma.n r Elliot, the commandant, was kind enough to take me out into the area and on to the parapet, to show mo the effects of tho bombardment a courtesy by thu by, which, considering the lively way in which sheila were tiung about us, was indicative of very genuine politeness. "We had not been halfaminuta in the area when one of thu lookouts cot bis iaw broken wiib a bit of shell, and we hatdly got back when another poor fellow was brought in with two third of his bead knocked off. Under the circumstances we did not stay lone ; still, I hud time cuounh to take a good lock around aud tce all I wished. The place is undoubtedly try much injured; indeed, it is faurdly possible to do the walls any further (tuning. The sea front is almost entirely knocked into the ana, and you can now walk up Irom the area to the top of tho walls w hich once faced the sea. The wall which they battered ao in August is now t ho best one left ; it retains pretty well its original height.
