There will be a Democratic Meeting, in `the Court House, in Waynesburg, on Tues 'day evening, (of Court week;) 17th inst.— And as business of much moment to the party is to be transacted, it is hoped.that a large number of the Democracy of the Bounty will convene at that time. R. A. McCONNELL, Chairman Dem. Co. Coin Dec. 11, 1801 Accounts. We send out accounts this week to all •our subscribers who are a year or more in arrears. We trust all will respond prompt ly and cheerfully, and enable us to meet , our obligations for Paper, Labor, &c., ' , which are very heavy. Those who have already kindly remem bered us have our hearty thanks. Mistakes. in making out our accounts against subscribers, we have made any mistakes, we shall he happy to correct them so soon as informed of the fact. We have, in some instances, made out the accounts a few weeks ahead, in order to make it reach the middle or end of a volume. NEGRO EMANCIPATION. The tone of the fanatical Abolition prints' and politicians becomes bolder daily, and affords confirmation of the fact that their only object in this war is to ex terminate slavery. Many, if not all of them, would evidently prefer a final sepa ration and a Northern Republic to a re construction of the Union on the old basis, ap it was founded by Washington, Jeffer son, Madison, and their compatriots.— "No union with slaveholders" is their motto, and the arming and emancipation of the slaves their programme. If their mad policy is countenanced and inaugura ted by the Administration, the country will be hopelessly dismembered and "chaos will come again." We await with anxiety the enunciation of the President's purpose on this subject. If he is faithful to his official obligations, all will be well, and we shall augur an early termination of the war. If he is not, God only knows what lies hidden in the future. We shrink appalled from the contemplation of a struggle prosecuted in a spirit of reck less disregard of constitutional limits and restraints. It would inevitably divide the people of the North, if it did not make them violent antagonists of the Govern ment itself, would hopelessly lose us the border slave States, and would indefinitely spread and prolong the war. Our de pendence, in this exigency, is upon the firmness and patriotism of the .President, and we trust we are not leaning on a brittle reed. Nous verrons. Our readers will find the Resolutions offered in Congress on this subject in an other column. Action must be had on them, and the sooner the better. Let there be no dodging,—let us know at once who are for the Union of our fathers, who are for confining the President and the Government to their constitutional sphere, and who are-against it. In no other way can the war be successfully terminated, and the event will prove it, than by ad hering to the wise policy hitherto pursued on the subject of slavery. HINTON ROWAN HELPER This notorious individual, the author of thatbAbolition campaign.document known as the "IMPENDING Calsis"—i. e., the "Crisis" now upon the country—has re ceived from the President the lucrative appointment of Consul to Buenos Ayres.— We marvel at this selection. Instead of being thus honored, this fellow should have been compelled to shoulder a mus ket, and placed wherever danger is most imminent in a war which his slanders We're so instrumental in bringing about.— Lancaster Intelligeneer. /Winstead of being elevated to a place .of profit and dignity, he should have been "strung up" as an enemy to the peace and unity of the country. No more dangerous men in the community than abolition agi tators of the "Helper" school. JUDGE GILMOBE. Hon. S. A. GILMORE, on his late retire ment, from the President Judgeship of this Judicial District, was tendered a compli mentary supper by the members of the Washington Bar, " as an evidence of their reelect and esteem for him as a gentleman, and as a testimony of their appreciation of the impartiality and ability with which he has discharged" his public duties.— Learned in the law, with an intellect of great quickness and vigor, and a mercy whose "quality was not strained," few men have filled the position with greater 'ac ceptability to both the Bar and the peo ple, or with more conspicuous ability.

Purina% lVirt: E. Webb, _]Seeker W. Denny, THEJ2=I.I4IIIT'B 1 11:131311AGE. We ladt,hin important document before our readers in today's Messenger. As a State paper, it is one of the weakest we have ever had from the national Executive, being, as a cotemporary well remarks, a "dry, plain, rambling and common-place" production. It will be seen that the Pres ident is not, as yet, prepared to adopt the emancipation and uegro-arming policy of the Abolition disunionists. How soon he may be ready to recommend and inaugu rate it, however, we are left to conjecture. If he is as feeble at the knees as we fear lie is, it will not be a great while before lie will be able to go the whole "nigger fig ure." A little courage and back-bone, on the part of the President, at this juncture, would have put an effectual quietus on the crazy and mischievous fanatics who seem bent on the ruin and disintegration of the country. From our heart, we regret that Mr. LINCOLN has not spoken out in more manly and decided tones in their rebuke. The Message excludes our usual variety of news matter. Nothing, however, of special interest has occurred to our arms during the past week. WAYNESBURG COMMON SCHOOLS. Neighbor COOKE of the Republican ad ministers something of a castigation in his last paper to the School Directors of our village, who have sold the school-hofise belonging to the . District, have failed to provide a new one, and have left the chil dren to get instruction where they can and as they can. As a consequence, the chil dren of such as are unable to pay tuition in private schools are wholly without the advantages intended to be afforded by the State to all classes of our people by our liberal system of Common School educa tion. We do not know who our Directors are, nor do we care to know ; but we do know they are not doing their dqty and rich !ly deserve a weekly lampooning. Blaze away at them, brother CooKs, "we'll hold I your bonnet," and help you if you need it. We respectfully suggest that such of the Directors as are unwilling to do the "clean thing" resign at once, and give the people a chance to get men who will discharge their duties faithfully and judiciously, and who will give us a school which will be a credit to the town and county. Our townsman, MILTON M. KENT, who went out as a Lieutenant in the "Greene County Rangers," has been appointed Ad jutant of the Sth Regiment of Pennsylva nia Volunteers. Lieut. KENT is one of the best drilled officers in the volunteer service, and we are glad to see his fine, soldierly qualities properly appreciated. His Regi ment is in the van of Gen. McCr.ELLAs's army, and will be found equal to the perils and responsibilities of its position. We are glad to learn that our fellow typo, L. K. EVANS, has been made a Lieu tenant in the Ringgold Cavalry. The remains of Sergeant $. S. Hot-Ls- WORTH, a member of the Ringgold Caval ry, who died of Typhoid fever at the Hos pital in Washington city, were brought home one day last week and interred by .his friends near Jefferson, in this county. The deceased was a young man of estima ble character, and a faithful and gallant soldier. His loss will be deeply felt and deplored by his companions in arms. BOOKS, MAGAZINES, &O. LEWIS DAY, our village Bookseller, sends us several copies of the "Pittsburgh Almanac," a continuation of the old Loomis Almanac, with calculations by Sanford C. Hill, Esq. This annual publi cation is known to almost all our readers, and is to be found in nearly every house hold. It is the best Alnaana,c we have met with for general use. • Mr. Der's assortment of school and miscellaneous books, magazines, papers, &c., is as full as usual, aril (these long nights,) should be drawn on liberally by our readers. His prices are very reason able, and no pains spared to accommodate his customers. See advertisement in an other column. CLOTHING FOR THE MILLION Our friend and neighbor NATTY CLARK, has evidently made up his mind that the good people hereabouts shall not suffer for Clothing the present Winter, and has ac cordingly just received a second supply of warm, elegant and fashionable garments, which re-fill his shelves and renders his assortment all that the needy could wish it. In point of cheapness, his "duds" are hard to beat, having been bought by an ex cellent and experienced judge, and bought for CASH, which always gives the dealer a great advantage in making his purchases. Go and look at his selections, if you are at all skeptical about his cheap buying or his taste. Our word for it, he knows a good and handsome "rag" when he sees it. For the Messenger. DESTRUCTION OF SHEEP BY DOGS. On the nights of 22d, 13d, and 24th of November; the dogs fell upon sheep in Washington township, adjoining part of Washington county, and killed and wounded one hundred and thirty-seven. Of these, forty-two were the property of Sam uel Braden and Adney Lacock, estimated worth three dollars a head ; fifty of Hiram Swart, estimated worth four dollars a head , forty-five of Robert Bristor, among which were some Spanish bucks, average worth, five dollars a head. Four dogs were found upon the field and killed immediately. T. W. TAYLOR. On the 4th inst., by the Rev. I. Cary, Mr. R. b. LONG, to Miss PILEIIE, C.

Ac cording to general report, the Presi dent's message is not yet finished, hence it is almost: certain that it will not be communicated to Congress till to-morrow. liouse.—The house was opened at noon with prayer, by the Rev. Mr. Stockton. The roll of members was then called by the Clerk. One hundred and fourteen mem bers answered to their names, inclu ding Messrs. Sargeant and Phelps, of California, Mr. Hoope, of ,Massa chusetts, Mr. Wilson, of lowt, Mr. Bernheisel, delegate from Utah, and Mr. Crablebaugh, delegate from Ne vada. Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, moved that,Mr. Maynard, of Tennes see, be sworn in as the member from the Second District of Tennessee.— Mr. Stevens of Pennsylvania, said that Mr. Maynard may have been properly elected, but we all know the fact that Tennessee was, so far as it could be, out of the Union, and as there were several other cases, he thought that the subject brought for ward by Mr. Dawes should be refer red to the Committee on elections. Mr. Dawes thought this was an ex ception to the rule, as Mr. Maynard was regularly elected by a large ma jority at the August election, and be fore Tennessee had taken any steps to get out of the Union. lie also possessed the proper certificates, which qualified him as a member. Mr. Stevens, of Pa., asked the di rect question, whether Mr. Maynard was elected before the State attempt ed to secede, and at the time fixed by law. Mr. Dawes replied that he was so informed, i and that his election took 1 1 place under the law which had exist ed for a long time. Mr. Stevens then withdrew his mo tion, and Mr. Maynard was accord ingly sworn hi as a member of Con gress from Tennessee. On motion of Mr. Fenton, of New York, a resolution was adopted ap pointing a committee to join such as may be appointed by the Senate to wait on the President and inform him that a quorum of both Houses were assembled and ready to proceed to business. Mr. Hickman, of Pa., presented the certificate of Provisional Govern ment of North Carolina, dated at Hatteras, certifying to the certificate of Mr. Foster, as a member of Con gress from that State. Mr. Vallandigham raised a question of order. The claim of Mr. Foster was refer red at the extra session to the corn mittee on.elections, without favorable action. Mr. Hickman replied that this was a new question, different from that of the tOrmer election. The Speaker overruled the point of order taken by Mi:. Vallandig .. ham. Mr. Stevens, of Pa., said no harm would be done by referring the cer tificate, and, on his motion, the case was referred to the Committe of Elee- IBM Mr. Watts, delegate from New Mexico, was sworn in. Mr. Blair, of Virginia, the succes sor of Mr. Carlile, was also qualified. Mr. Richardson, of 111., moved that Mr. Segar, of Va., be also sworn in. Mr. Dawes desired that this ease should- be referred, Mr. Richardson earnestly argued that Mr.Segar should be sworn in. The House should not deny to the people of Accomac and Northampton counties a proper rept resentation, especially as they had laid down their arms which they had taken up against the Federal Gov ernment, and. all the forms of law had been complied with under the procla mation of the provisional Government of Virginia. Mr. Kellogg, of 111., argued that Mr. Seo-ir should be admitted in - ac c with the principles already settled at the extra session. Mr. Dawes desired to do nothing disrespectful by wishing the question deferred. He wanted the House to consider the subject in all its bear ings. It should be ascertained wheth er this gentleman was elected by ten, twenty or one thousand votes in a district where ten thousand may be cast. He wanted a rule that they could stand by in the future. The subject was then referred to the Committee on Elections. Mr. Dunn, of Md., moved to lay the resolution on the table, but the motion was disagreed to; yeas 56 against, 70. On motion of Mr. Stevens, of Pa., the further consideration of the reso lution was postponed until to-mor row week, in order that it may be discussed, and amendments submit ted. lie was in favor of the proposi, tion, but desired modification. Mr. Campbell of Pa., gave notice that he'would call up the following resolution next Tuesday week : Resolved, That on legislating to meet the exigencies of the present rebellion, Congress should confiscate the property, slaves included, of all rebels, and protect the property and rights, under the Constitution• and laws, of all loyal citizens. Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, sub mitted the following for future con sideration: Whereas, Slavery has caused the present rebellion in the United States, and Wherea There can be no solid and perinalltnt peace and union in this republic so long as that institu Con exists within it. And Whereas, Slaves are now used by the rebels as an essential, means of supporting and pro . ;raeting the war. And WaEarats, By the law of nations it is our right to liberate the slaw s of an enemy to weaken his powers. •Therefore be it enacted, by the Sen ate and House of Represeatatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled to declare free, and direct all our generals lad officers in command, to order freetiom to' all slaves who shall leave their 'masters or shall aid in quelling the rebellion. Secon - d, and be it father resold that the United States pledge the faith of the nation to make full and , fair compensation to allloyal citizens wllo are and shall remain active in supporting the Union. for all the loss j they may sustain by the virtue of the resolution. Mr. Fenton, of N. Y., from the joint committee, reported that they had "waited on the President and that he desired them to state that he would send his message to the Rouse to morrow at 12 o'clock. Mr. Stevens, of Pa., gave notice of his intention to introduce a bill to re peal certain laws creating ports of entry-. M. McPherson. of Pa., offered a resolution, which lies over, setting forth the want of a more complete railroad, and instructing the com mittee on military affairs to inquire into the expediency of constructing an air line railroad from Gettysburg to Harrisburg, Pa. Mr. Roscoe A. Conklin submitted the following, which was adopted: Resolved, That the Secretary of War be requested, if not incompatible with the public interest, to report to this House any, if any, winit measures have been taken to ascertain who is responsible for the disastrous move ment of our troops at Ball's Bluffs. Mr. Odell, of New York, submitted the following, which was adopted : Whereas, Col. Alfred M. Wood, of the 14th regiment New York State militia, who was wounded and taken prisoner at the battle of Bull Run, has now by the rebel authorities been ordered to confinement in a felon's prison, and by the same or der, to be treated as prisoners con victed of infamous crimes. There fore. Resolved, That the President of the United States be respectfully re quested to order John Slidell to the same character of prison, and to the same threatment until Col. Wood shall be treated as the United States have used all prisoners taken in battle. Mr. Beruheisel presented the con stitution, which was framed by a convention of delegates, which was assembled in Grand - Salt Lake City. in March last, accompanied by a memorial asking Congress to admit that territory into the Union on an equal footing with the original States. The House then adjourned. SENATE.—The Vice President call ed the Senate to 'order at noon.— About forty members were present. On motion of Mr. Hale, 12 o'clock at was fixed for the hour of opening the daily sessions. On motion of Mr. Grimes, of lowa, a message was ordered to be seni, to the House notifying that body that a quorum of Senators i cas present. and the Senate was rea(Ty to proceed to business. An informal recess was then taken. The Senate concurred in the reso lution of the House for the appoint ment of a joint committee io wait on the President. Messrs. Hale, Trum bull and Latham were appointed as the committes. Mr. Trumbull, of 111., gave notice, that he would introduce, to-morrow a bill to confiscate the property of rebels against the authority of the United States Government, and give freedom to persons held to labor in the slave State. Mr. Wilkinson. of Minnesota, gave notice of his intention to introduce a bill to abolish the distinction at pres ent exesting between the 'regular and volunteer forces of the - United States army. On motion of Mr. Lovejoy, of Illi nois, a resolution was adopted, ten dering the thanks of Congress to Capt. Wilkes for his arrest of the traitors Mason and On motion, it was resolved, that John W. Reid, member from Missouri, having taken up arms against the United States, is hereby expelled from the House, and that the Cl-over nor of Missouri be notified of the fact. A resolution was unanimously passed, declaring that as Colonel Cor coran had been confined as a con victed felon by the rebels, that the President be requested to similarly confine James M. Mason, now in cus tody in Fort Warren. The committee appointed to wait on the President reported that he would communicate his message to Congress at noon to-morrow. Adjourned. Conclusion of the Pickens Affairs. Southern papers to the 27th con tain scattered accounts of the Pick ens affair. The bombardment com menced on the 21st, and continued, with occasional intermissions, night and day, until the 24th, when Col. Brown ceased firing. The rebels did not respond until after the fire had commenced. The fire of the fort, and outside of Santa Rosa Island bat teries, was directed against Fort Bar rancas and other rebel batteries, the rebel steamers, Time and Neland, and the Navy Yard, while the Federal vessels engaged Fort Mcßea. The rebels admit sixteen killed and wound ed. Considerable damage was done to Meßea, including the caving in of the powder magazine, and partial de struction of the Navy Yard, Warring ton, and a rebel train hauling provis ion to the rebel army. The rebels seemed to act strictly on the defens ive. The stories about the disabling of the Colorado and Niagara appear to be unfounded. The Time and Neeland wore somewhat damaged, but got out of reach of Brown's fire. Brown re ceived no reinforcements. COLON EL KERRIGAN-It is reported that Colonel Kerrigan, late of the New York Twenty-Fifth regiment, has been tried by court-martial, for treason, and sentenced to be shot, and that his.death warrant has been signed 'By die' President. Kerrigan is a member of Congreitt from New. York City. Therm LIZ is r Cut ibis THROAT. .1161., Mary Navy Department is in receipt of a •Ites- Huffman wife of Robert. Huffman patch from Capt.

He further states that Commodor Tatnall, of the rebel fleet, had given it as his opinion that the entire rebel defences of the Southern coast must be abandoned, as they could not stand the armament of our fleet, SHOCKING TRAGEDY.-A terrible tragedy occurred at Wilksbarre, a short time since. Five young men named, respectively, Frank Smith, Arthur Hamilton, Holland Hillman, Edward Smith and John II Doak, some of whom had been intimate associates for years, were in a store reading or rehearsing one of Shak speare's plays, when, coining to a soldier's scene, each picked up an in strument with which to make a charge. One had an old sabre, ano ther a gun barrel, and a gun stand ing near, young Smith grasped it, and pointing it towards Doak, not knowing it was loaded, discharged a load of duck shot into the neck of the latter, who fell and died almost instantly.
