If token’ at all it will be a 'simple incident of a campaign made for the destruction of the power which lies behind Richmond, and Which upholds and sustains the arms of Jefferson Davie. - The siege and bombardment of Charleston makes it necessary for Mr. Davis to kee/p a small army there in readiness to repel any as sault by our forces. la-that respect the .siege of. Charleston operates to forward the Union cause. But it could not benefit ns one iota if to day, we bad Charleston, Richmond, and Mo bile, and Bragg and Lee’s armies yet remained intact. The true policy of war, and it is the policy adopted by the Government, is to disable the enemy in every considerable way. To destroy hie armies and material, to shut him up in as small a compass as possible, by cutting off bis communications with the outside world, and to impoverish hirri in men—this is the shortest route to a permanent peace through the down fall of the rebellion and the destruction of its aiders, directors, and abettors. Perhaps] no other made of disabling the re bellion could have been devised so effective as the proclamation of freedom to the eiaves. The slaves of the southern nabobs are their hands and feet as well as the conservators of their false and lying social status. When Mr. Lin coln proclaimed freedom to the slaves of the rebellious States, he virtually ordained that tbo rebellion should be deprived of its hands, arms, legs, and feet* We have yet to see or know any man of .thought, not a traitor in deed or thought, who has one word to say against the proclamation of freedom. We have yet to see, or know of, one sympathiser with rebellion who has not a vocabulary of abuse for that great action of the President, Jefferson. Davis hates it and denounces it. So does Lee, and Benjamin, and Tombs,'and Wigfali, and all the traitors in arms. So, also, Fernando Wood, Horatio Seymour, Geo. W. Woodward, C. L. Vallandigham, and all northern rebels, not in arms, denounce the proclamation of freedom. Thera, must be concord among traitors, or treason oouid not Sourish. When villains fail out, justice reigns. Were all Northern public men to rally around the Government, how long, think you, could the South sustain itself in this contest? Not long. For the loti eight months of tear and its at tendant horrors,- its -vast expenditures of blood and treasure these northern rebels are entirely responsible. They gave their nobler southern co-adjutors to understand that they would put the country against the Government in the summer and fall elections, and tbns disable the administration of tjie Government in their ef forts to destroy the rebellion.

We shall also admit that while that party kept within bailing dis tance of his doctrines it constituted the strong est party the country ever saw. But Thomas Jefferson was an Abolitionist No man who reads his published works will deny, that.

COBBEBFON33ENCE, Washington, Decembers, 1863; When an American wishes to illustrate Brit ish cruelty be cites the martyrdom of our brave soldiers in the “ Sugar House prison" and pris on-ships by the agents of old King George. And these historic relators of fearful suffering in the old time' have helped to keep the pop ular teeth on edge for nearly ninety years,-so that American hatred of Great Britain has come to he considered undying. Within the last twenty-four hours I have listened to a relation of suffering which most become historic at tbe cost of everlasting shame to the rebel leaders. It was the tale of the;sufferings of our soldiers on Belle Isle and in Libby Prison, related by eyewitnesses and partakers of rebel humanity, exemplified in tbe brutal treatment of Union prisoners of war. With tbe main features of (his cruelty, the city journals have doubtless informed the reader. But the inside bistory of the matter can never be portrayed in language. Picture to yourself, reader, tbe spectacle not seldom seen in newly. settled districts, where men arc able to barely pick along, and provide a rude but to shelter their humankind from the inclemency of tbo weather; and where you may see tbe settler’s cattle huddling under the lee of a log fence, or a. few bushes, with arch ing backs—endeavoring to shelter themselves from tbe.freexing winter wind and the falling eleot. ‘ Picture to yourself this spectacle—for .you will travel far in Tioga county now-a-daye before yon will see it in reality—and you have the faithful description of the condition of our captive soldiers in Richmond. Nuked, or nearly so; starving on insufficient and uneatable food ; dying at tbo rate of fifty per day, consumption and paralysis of tbo digestive organs. Such is the report, brought to us by returned surgeons of the con dition of our brotbere in arms. Add to this the damning fact —For it i a a fact—that of nil the abundance of food provi ded and forwarded by the Government for theiti relief, not <v pound has been distributed to out men by 'the rebel authorities., Their Commft- - sioner— Quid—fatly denies that the rations sent have not been distributed, and when confront ed with unimpeachable evidence to the contra ry, says that food will not be distributed, but only clothes I The intention of the rebel leaders is dis closed in the publications they make in tbeir journals. They intend to force us to return to them all the prisoners in anr hands—and this includes an excess of some 10,000 —for which they will return to us all their prisoners df wm. The excess in our hands to be held by them only on parole'. Their journals deny that there is any scarcity of food in rebeldom and claim that they can subsist all the rebel sol diers we have in oar hands. This opens up a new era of brutality. It discloses the fact that our men in tbeir hands are not starved from any necessity of economi zing their supply of food, hut oat of pure vin dictiveness. f This is the fruit of the system of slavery. That system is destruction to those finer feelings which seem to ally man to tfae angels. The slaveholder becomes familiar with scenes of human Buffering, and learns to look upon it as the butcher lobks upon the dying agonies of the brute he slays for man’s conven ience or luxury. For one 1 thank God that the system is dead in fact, and trust that its bale ful influence upon man and woman may disap pear with the.present generation. Let us bear no more about "Chivalry.” There is nothing of the sort, save in the lia tare of exceptions, south of Mason and Dixon’s line. The " chivalrous Southron” and the "Gentle Savage” are each as real as the otbfr. The man or woman who lives in habitual vio lation of the rights and liberties ' of.eyen the humblest of humankind, can- neither pos sess the virtues nor practice the precepts 1 of Christianity. Every man who has seen the in side life of Slavery, must recognize in Jojbn iHenry Hopkins and George W. Woodward tiro bold, bad; abandoned infidels, enemies not only of humau freedom but of human virtue. Let as hear no more about Thomas ’ Paine, or Voltaire, or Home, or Gibbon, by way of extraordinary reproach. These men were white and spotless in contrast with John Henry Hop kins and Oeo. W. Woodward. The former were theoretical- infidels; hut the latter are practical traitors to the trust the Almighty has placed in their hands, ; Which is the worse—the whit# body with a black soul, or a black bpdy and a white soul. M.H.C. Washington December 5,1863. ' This cosmopolitan public is just now endea voring to aolre the problem of Meade’s retro grade, movement.

He pressed the Rapidan without seri ous resistance,-owing to the-faot that the rebels • were informed that he would cross at Germa nia Ford. .This .he never intended .to do. It J”was a white lie to mislead, Gen. Lee swallowed -the .baifc. :- - - . - • Meade-pursued the retreating rebels to Mils Run—a stream too wide and too deep to ford at this season of the year. Behind that gully the rebels had provided formidable defences; so formidable that no man .of common sense would attempt to carry them’in front. The only feasible plan was to outflank tbe rebels. But to send a flanking force to tbe right or left of the rebel position would have required much time and an uninterrupted line of com-, munioatlon with the base of supplies. Now it was well known that Gen. Meade had caused the rail* to be taken up from Brandy station to the Rapidan. This was precaotion ary—to prevent the rebels from carrying the iron away to Dixie, a trick they have several times performed. Thus, the : Rapidan ran be tween Meade and his supplies, and is liable at any tine, lit this Season of the year, to become uofordable. i Any one fit to keep a hotel will comprehend that it is no small matter to cater for 90,000 men. Meade could not properly undertake to flank Lee without two weeks rations for his whole force. And there were no facilities at hand by which rations for so many men could be brought forward. Therefore, Gen. Meade fell back to Brandy Station with 90,000 men, apd his campaign is known as “ a reconnoisanoe in force." It ought to be known that some things are possible, others impossible. Meade confines himself to .the possible, and, I presume, will Jose his bead for so doing. lam a Gen; Meade man, but do not like his coming back to Brandy station. I would have preferred an attempt to flank Gen Lee, rations or no rations, Rupidan or no Rapidan, reserve or no reserve. But Geo. Meade did not do me the honor to call me into bis councils. Therefore be fell back to Brandy station. It is high time that the public mind should be disabused of »n error concerning Gen. Hooker. He is reported to bo a sot. That is not true in any sente of the word. Gen, Hook, er is a temperate man. I can find no man who has ever seen him intoxicated. And a gentle man of position and repute, whose veracity is nut questioned, assures roe that Geo. Hooker is far removed from liabiliy to such a charge. It is well known and acknowledged likewise that the battle of Gettysburg was planned by Gen. Joe Hooker, Geo. Meade only executed tbs plan. It is proper to add that it is no light duty to execute well an intricate plan, I do not by this intend to foreshadow the re turn of Gen. Hooker to the command of the army of th(j Potomac.

Oor forces were kept on the alert, and everything in readiness to retreat if an assault had been made by superior force.

The recent opinions of Justices Jowrie and Woodward, coupled .with thennnual message of James Buchanan for 1860,'Constitute a re markable exhibition of Copperhead Constitu tional exposition. According to these dis tinguished luminaries of constitutionsl law the following positions are correct;! A state has no constitutional right to rebel, ibut if it does, rebel there is no constitutional power to sup press rebellion. There is no constitutional power to coerce a state to constitutional require ments. -I The Constitution confers upon Congress the power to raise armies unlimited in numbers, and provide 1 a navy; without restriction as'to size ; but, at the same time, recognizes the power of the individual stales, through their militia laws, to preveht the Government from obtaining a single citizen of the United States for service in either army or naVy. If, in any manner, the Government should raise an army, yet if a rebellion broke out the army cannot be used for its suppression, as the only means provided for -this purpose is the calling forth the militia. If rebels cover the ocean with pirates and devastate and destroy oar commerce, the navy cannot be employed against them, as the only constitutional remedy is to call forth the mil itia. 1 Whenever militia is called forth to suppress rebellion it can come or not just as the " Sov ereign State” or the Governor thereof 'may feel inclined. . .

These 5-20 V taxed by States, cities, towns, or counties, and the Government tax on them is only one-and-a half per cent., on the 1 amount of income, when tbe income ef tbe holder exceeds Six Hundred'dollars per annum; all other investment* aach'os income from Mortgages, Railroad Stock and Bonds, etc,, most pay from three to five per cent tax on the income. Banks and Bankers throughout the Country will, continue to dispose of the Bonds; and all orders hy mail, or otherwise, promptly attended to. The inconvenience of a few days' delay in the dV. livery of tbe Bonds is' unavoidable, tbe demand beitg so great; but as interest commences from tbe day of subscription, no loss is occasioned, and every effort is being made to dismiss the delay. .JAY COOKY, Subscription Agent, 114 South Third Street, Philadelphia.
