Govenor Curtin smitdrip his argu ment by the necessities of oBi condition and' the precedents of other Governtneqts. He pla ces this dilemna clearly : either the State must use the national cuprei'icyrin payment of debt, or prepare to pay the jireplium on coin by levying heavy taxes.

The world’s case has been diagnosed several hundred thousand times by several hundred thousand physicians. The result is lime-hon ored—“ Doctors disagree." But what ails the world 7 Ab, that’s the question. To say that it is wicked is vague and unsatisfactory. Everybody is aware of that fact. It talks much about equality, and declares that before their Maker, all men ore equal in their quality as man. And then it makes laws and fosters customs which tend to create and perpetuate inequality. It talks much of goodness and venerates the bones of dead, saints % and it goes out of the way to per secute the i living saints. It proclaims the sanctity of human life,—and hedges it about with statutory defences; and then goes to —Dinugmering vena or tdou sands as if they were so many swine or hub looks. -It revels in visions of universal free dom, yet not only tolerates, but seeks to per petuate human bondage and traffic in men and women. It declares avarice to be one of the cardinal sins ; and too often requires people to unlock the gate of society with a golden key. So it is an inconsistent, insincere, canting, hypocritical old world. That is the judgment, is it not ? It Is a mendacious, pilfering, tat tling, bigoted, uncharitable, murderous old world, is it not?- Nevertheless it is as we find it—at once the best of which wo have any certain/knowledge, and one in which wo have work to dot So we must all, if wise, make the best of it. But the world is not inconsistent, menda cious, and insincere by accident. There is a reason why, and tbongh many have thonght to discover it, scarcely two of the many assign the same reason., To say that Adam-sinned will only satisfy those who;endeavor to get through .the woyld with as little thought as may he. The question seems to be—“ of what particular phase of sin baa the world been guilty for so many ages, that it scarcely seems to have left a single honest hair in its head ?" To answer this question dogmatically ought to stamp the respondent as an empiric. It is easy to say that men are depraved by nature, and therefore their deeds must be somewhat evil. But this does not answer the question. It is easy to say that men are selfish and am bitious, and therefore oppression and war en sue. But this does not solve the riddle; for what the enquirer demands to know is, not if man is depraved, or selfish, -or oppressive, for that is evident; but why, in this Christian age, man is all of these, and perhaps still worse and more. ' ' • It is therefore with great rolnclance that we attempt to deal with this subject, at all. Cer tainly we do not intend to answer the question. But on looking over the history of the world it does seem as though all the doctors had begun at the wrong end of the case in making their diagnoses. -- For instance; Talleyrand, Metternioh, Bol ingbroke, and others, are regarded as types of a subtler intellectuality than most of their respective contemporaries. Yet these men did more to render lying one of the fine arts than any who figure in modern history. When it is said of a" man that he is a skillful diplomatist, it is only another and more vague way of say ing that he is an adept at lying and deception. At once lying becomes fashionable; and there fore “ the world is given to lying.” , Again : _AH the world exclaimed against the exclusiveness of the Chinese, as; to-day, the exclusiveness of the Japanese is denounced. If these nations have any peculiar fault it is that of too intense nationality. Yet all the nations of the world are endeavoring to be come more distinct, one from the other, and putting forth all their energies to erect political Chinese walla on every side. Hero is a plump and authoritative denial of the Christian doc trine that all men are brothers, and some sort of an explanation why the strong are every day trampling the weak underfoot; they are trying to become intensely individual, as na tions are trying to, become more intensely na tional. It may seem paradoxical to say that the in dividual is more virtuous and decent-than the aggregate roan. But we so conclude! And we apprehend that the intensification of those imaginary lines on the' map, called national, State, county, and town lines, has bred more bad blood and spilled' more good, than all the foul brood of human ambitions and follies besidcd. Wk are not greatly given to the emotion of surprise, or even of-indignation, at anything the Copperysneaks may do, either ns citizens or as legislators. Like the old lady when a neighbor ran in haste to tell her that the cow had swallowed the bread-trough, we “ always expected” whatever’ happens in the Copper bead line. « Therefore, we shall not dissemble enough to show indignation at the action of the sixteen Copperysneaks in tho State Senate. Some of our contemporaries exclaim loudly against the factious course pursued by them in preventing the transaction of business in that body. The history of the case is this: The Unionists have seventeen members and the rebels sixteen. But one Union Senator—Maj. Harry White— -is a prisoner in Richmond. Jeff. Davis refuses to exchange him on any terms. This leaves tho Senate a tie. llon.'Mohn P. Penney, Union, was elected Speaker during the recess.. WSUSBOBOIT6S, PBNMAi WHAT AILS THE WOULD ? WHEELS LOCKED, THE TIOGA a-COUNTT AGITATOE. Common sense -would" decide {hat hb must be the presiding officer of the Senate until bis successor shall bo chosen. The Copperyancaks deny this, and demand nn election. Of course n 0 election can be had so long ns the Senate is equally divided. They put forward Hiester Clymer—a virulent rebel, for whom no loyal man can vote. The Union men put forward Mr. Penney -the present Speaker. Nobody doubts Mr. Denney's loyalty ; therefore nobody will hesitate to vote for him except upon strict ly party grounds. So the case stands. Every ballot results in sixteen votes for each candidate ; and so must continue to result, indefinitely, as far as now appears. Thus the entire, session may bo lost, as no legislation can bp had in either house until both are organized.- By the factious op position of these sixteen Copperysneaks the State must pay §lOO,OOO for nothing at all. These are the fellowa who make much of the public expenditures and bowl so mnoh-about taxation. To pay the Legislature §lOO,OOO, dear reader, you and all of us must put our hands into our pockets. About $2,000 of His« ranro nr .lean, will eventually be required of Tioga county. Let os remember, then, when we pay it, that sixteen Copperheads, like tjpose who made such an exhibition of their ignorance last fall, in this county, put this ad ditional burden on our shoulders. These arc the canting fellows who bellowed so lustily about taxation last fall, i Shall we remember them ? WAR NEWS. A diupatch from Fort: Smith of the 10th re ports that a : Rebel Lieutenant, with a squad of men, came into our lines; that day, having left Price’s headquarters at Longwobd on Christ mas. Gen. Holmes commands the Rebel Trans-Mississippi Department, and Price com mands the army in the field, which is from 13,000 to 10,000 strong., Only 3,000 or 4,000 of Price’s Missourians survive—the veterans of Lexington and Pea Ridge are nearly all dead. The Rebel troops are badly clothed and fed, and are greatly disheartened hy news of Union sue cesses in Texas. It was supposed that Holmes and Price would make an attempt upon Little Rock and Fort Smith. , Nino full regiments have gone into camp in Indiana, and two more regiments are nearly full. Recruits for the old regiments are pour ing into Indianapolis by hundreds. The State has nearly filled her quota. Gov. Bramlelte of Kentucky sent a message into the Senate on Saturday, urging the imme diate necessity of raising troops for the State defense. The Navy Department has been advised of tho capture of the Rebel schooner Marshall J; Smith by the gunboat Kennebec.- She was discovered about 18 miles east of Mobile Point, at night. Discovering the Kennebec, sho changed her course and hauled to land. A shell was fired, and the vessel was approached and boarded. She was from Mobile, bound to Havana with a cargo of 260 bales of cotton and! some turpentine. Her manifest and pa persl were thrown overboard. The recent attempt of General Early, with the brigades of Lee, Walker and Rosser, under the immediate command of Fitzhugh Lee, to capture the-Union garrison at Petersburg and take possession of Cumberland and New-Creek, has proved a failure. A few empty wagons— thirty-five in all—of Colonel Thoburn’s force, were captured by the Rebels on their route from Petersburg. While our prisoners in Richmond are, by Rebel confession, wretchedly fed and clothed, and while Rebel papers are tolling the most absurd lies about our behavior to their prison ers at Point Lookout, theGjdiernmentat Wash s ington is devising means to relieve the distress of the t neople of Virginia, whose substance has been wasted by the tramp of Lee’s and our own armies, and the incidental buzzards of the war. The inhabitants of the whole country from Washington to the Rapidan, and from the Blue Ridge to the Peninsula, is to share in such supplies of food as they choose to purchase, themselves guaranteeing its transportation; and further efforts are on foot to supply those who are too poor to buy. If Mosehy and Stu art do not steal the provisions sent to suffering Rebel non-combatants, the United States Gov ernment will go far beyond the line of duty and the laws of war in feeding its enemies. No oath of loyalty is required, nothing but a pledge that the bread and meat thus sold shall not go to support men actually in arms against the nation ; in other words, that this source of supply shall not he open, by purchase or other wise, to the Rebel army. Will the Copper heads who howl so dismally about Northern barbarity, note these facts ? If they do, ton to one they complain that the United States does not give away a hundred millions .worth of food without pay and without question. ‘We have dates from New-Orleans to the 31st nit. A secret expedition left there on the 30th, destination thought to be toward Mobile, prob ably to'land and fortify at Pascagoula. 1 New Orleans had been drowned out by heavy rain, Deo. 28, nearly the whole of the city streets are a foot or two under water. Nothing espe cially new in war matters. Prom the front the report is •• “ Army encamped ; all well.” The Texas refugees were freely coming in to swear allegiance.On the 18th the bones of Captain W.W. Montgomery, of the First (Union) Texas Cavalry, a Union officer, captured and hung by the Rebels, were picked up and interred in Fart Browne, in presence of all our troops in Brownsville and a large concourse of citizens. General Dana, commanding 13th Corps, and Governor Hamilton, were present. Governor Hamilton made a thrilling speech. The loyal Texans have taken an oath of vengeance on his murderers. Recruiting is rapidly going on. Rebel sympathizers are forced to fly into Hex ico. At New-Orleahs a mass meeting of all the loyal people in the State of Louisiana has been called for the Bth of January. The ob ject was to take into consideration the forma tion of a Free State Government. Nearly enough are enrolled to enable the'State to re turn to the Union under the President’s Proc lamation. Guerrilla firing upon bouts along the Mississippi bad almost entirely ceased. Ex-Governor Thomas H. Hicba was on Fri day elected United Stales. Senator from Mary land to fill the nnespired term -of Senator Pearce. Mr. Hicks is. now filling the place by the Governor’s appointment.. ■Death op the Right Bet. Archbishop Hughes.— —This distinguished prelate and orna ment of the Catholic Ghurair died at his resi dence in Now York on Suhdsy -the 3d instant. He had been in infirm health for soma time past, and therefore tbo announcement of his death did not take the community by surprise. The Archbishop was not so advanced in life as many supposed, being but sixty-five years of age. Archbishop Hughes was a native of Ty rone county, Ireland, and came to this country abopt the year 1820. He settled at Gettysburg, in Pennsylvania, since made so memorable in our country’s history. He completed his edu cation at Mount St. Mary’s College, at Em mittsburg; was appointed or ordained priest in 1830, and was stationed in Philadelphia. In 1840 ho was appointed Assistant Bishop for the see of New York, and on the death of Bishop Dubois was appointed his successor. Ten years ago he was elevated to the dignity of Arch bishop, and it is but feeble praise to say that the office was never dishonored while he filled it. The deceased first distinguished himself in a controversy with the Rev. Dr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, and nt a much later period in a protracted correspondence with Mr. Erastua Brooks, of New York. Abouto year ngq Arch bishop Hughes was deputed to visit Europe in the interest of the Government, and did good service to the Union cause by his judicious management ol tne trust reposed in him. In brief, few exolesiastics in this country have been so well known and so universally beloved and esteemed. The Richmond Whig on Gen. Boiler. —ln an article on the exchange of prisoners, the Richmond Whig of the 20th December, says: “ A preliminary question to be considered hy our authorities is whether they will treat with a person whom they have formally outlawed.— If this difficulty can be got over, we /lara say Butler, may be dealt with on as good terms as any one Lincoln will select. Hitchcock and Meiredlth both proved themselves scurvy fel lows—falsifiers and tricksters. They are well got rid of, It it known that Butler disapproved their conduct, and that he has all along fa vored, or pretended to favor, a just and liberal plan of exchange. Tho first cartel that was entered into was negotiated, if we remember aright, between him and General D. 11. Hill.— Upon the whole, and in view of the accomplish of so desirable an end as the liberation of so many of our noble fellows, now the tenants of Yankee prisons, we hope tho President may not find it incompatible with the dignity and duty of the government to waive the outlawry and recognize the beast. It will be necessary for Col. Gold, though, to be wide awake when they get to arranging tho terms of exchange; for this cross-eyed Yankee has in him the cun ning of the Evil One.” Relics or the Olden Time. —Many persons suppose that the Stamp and Revenue Law is a new thing in the history of the country, and, are often beard deploring the “ good old times”, of our fathers and grandfathers, when such things were not. Such persons, however, labor under a mistake. The Daily Times notices as a curiosity a Bond executed by Nicholas Seidel, Iron Master, of Alsace township, Berks county, in favor of Cornelius Tyson, Innkeeper, of Rob eson township, same county, for two hundred pounds, good and lawful money of the State of Pennsylvania. This Bond bears date the lllh day of August, 1801, and fifty cent Internal Revenue Stamp, having been given in the days when the Stales were still obliged to resort to direct taxation in order to meet- the - expenses incurred in tho Revolutionary War. We were also shown, a month or two ago, several re ceipts of the date of 1815 or ’2O, for Internal Revenue tax on carriages—the rates then being much higher than now. One of the blank books is still kept among the archives of the Beading Library, in which was kept an account of taxes levied and collected in Berks county, upon the manufactures of distilled spirits. The fact is, the burdens now borne by the people are no greater, if as great, as they were in the "good old times’ 1 , which we hear so much about. —Reading Journal. Losses and Captures During 1863. —Gen- eral Halleck’a report furnishes the following estimate of our losses and captures during the year 1863; During the year our losses and oaptares were : Killed ,10,000 Guns 42 Missing 20,677 Small anas 8,840 Wounded 51,718 And 10,206 men reported under the heads of “losses,” “killed and wounded,” or “killed, wounded and missjng,” , Our captures were : Colors 52 Boats... 158 Prisoners <36,786 Cattle; .5,643 Quns 266 Horses.. 1,175 Small arms 44,829 The N. Y Evening Post estimates the num ber of Southern Unionists now living in New York city at twenty thousand, which would give, at a fair calculation, more than half of a million in the free States, exclusive of those in the army. Many of these will return to Lou isiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Virginia, and, with the Northern emigration already begun, will decide the destinies of these States. The war, by the agitation and distribution of pop ulation, will inevitably take the political power from the few slaveholders and give it to the many workingmen. The plan of the Presi dent for the restoration of the Southern States will prove to be effectual, because of these great social changes in the condition and char acter of the people of the South, and the de struction of the tyranny of the greaf’planta tion oligarchs. A Considerable Lot of Old Iron.—Work men have been engaged for some time past, un der the direction of Col. McCallum, Superintend ent of military Railroads, in collecting all the old iron scattered along the Orange and Alex andria Railroad, from Alexandria to the Rap pahannock river. The lot comprises remnants from the wrecks of locomotives, railroad cars, bent end twisted rails, and iron from the bridges destroyed and track torn un in the va rious rebel raids which have taken place on the line of this road within the past two years. These fragments, of all sorts, sizes and descrip tions, spread along the road for miles, are being gathered up and taken to Alexandria, where they will be sold during tho coming month.
