If the Administration is eve;! j'unJ guilty of
fXtmoganee, it will be beca'h.fof the publi
eotipn of General McClellan’s hfport. We are,
afraid to give an estimate -of ■'.l i expense, last
ifsboold shake the confidence -’fij the people in
par ability to pay the nationsi.-sdebt; but we
jnost »ay that had the same K D ley been given
by the'government'to any of ti ; tract
societies, entire heathen couft' Mes might be
civilized at, 'once. Had it lie -n given to the
poor, tho.:poor would ceaee to t>; bad it been

elected Mr. Justice Woodwork; had it been
mod to present General with a new
sword, as a'testimonial of h i distinguished
services, it would have supplii.l the handsom
est and most costly ornament ft at ever hung in
' a general’s sash. ■ But it re illy seems wasted
in the publication of d librar”; fer this report
is not one book, but many. 2:1 is an autobiog
raphy in d startling number, of volumes, and
like the Braminicalrecord of nbe Hindu mytho
logy,' cannot be read in a lifetime. We shall
rCad the beginning, bnt our grandsons
shall get to its end. Thus: tt will take three
generations of readers to 6id put of what
GonerarMcClellan has to con pla*&. It is true
that be wrote this t ip less than
three years; but writing ar dr lading are not
equally easy. Correspondem t|esnd ns poems,
written in an hour, that we tealfy cannot read
in months. , In the old dayr.fwhen men lived
nine hundred years, such a. report as General
McClellan basso industrious-yiicompi'.ed might
have found a public; but. now he must des
pair, for Methuselah is dead!, '.
Same one, however gropi igip this mass of
documents and comments, hiViound a passage
which is enough, to indicate ihe character of
the’ whole work. It is qooteg from a letter
by Generhl-MoClellan to thetSecfetary of War,
end dated June 28, 1862. If reads thus; “If
I save this army now, I tell'yau plainly that I
. owe no thanks to you, or to any diher person in
Washington. You have dope .your .best to sac
rifice this army-” - Really,, jfjsedms hard that
, so.muph money.should be sp'qt to publish an
accusation that might have gtisily been nude
in the newspapers for nothing for the gentle
man we have-employed to roiKl' np as much of
the report as he could, state; 1, just before he
was taken sick, that so far 49 pe bad gono it
was simply, a huge oompltiititof the want of
men, the wickedness of the i Vfretary-of War,
and-the failure to: appreciate - i!)j distinguished
services of the author. He tiriher states that
the report 1 is so completely taken, up with the
crimes of the Administratidf), that it gives
comparatively little in form niton of its preten
ded subject,' and it should ho properly entitled
r“ Advice to, the President.; 'dp, Putting Down
a Rebellion -Made Easy, in -| fe hundred diffi
cult volumes.” 'These state! ijints explain the
long delay the wood' > guns at Manas
sas, the masterly inactivity- before Yorklown,
the' patient - occupation of t- ei Chickaboroiny
swamps, alnd entirely exoij.nnte General Mc
'. Clellan; for no man could' st imee tight a suc
cessful' campaign and writ! ouch a ioport as
this. The crashing reply Ufdfce General’s de
tractors be; “WhatV do■ on suppose that
he could govern the country, ;each the Preei
deut hvs’.doty, denounce tl 9 Secretary of War,’
. refute the arguments of S ihntlr Wilson,-prove
the confiscation of rebel property illegal, rid
icule the abolitionists, oppjge' the people, defy
the Administration, and tr'ki Richmond, all at
the same time? Certainly, not. Yet this was
rwhat he attempted to The ridiculous
answer, that General Mo : »leHan was .notpm
ployed'lo govern the country,' but only to take
.Richmond, is so clearly ii s'ji - ed Joy jealousy of
his popularity as a Presit W>al candidate that
it will' only be heard with derision.
"With equal derision, tf.course, will the dec
laration that General did not save
the Army of the Potoinai le received. Yet it
has been made. People envious of his tri
umphant march upon Mat asllas and upon Yorlt
town, when those places tve;■& descried by the
fee, saythat he led a ficcnt army of one
hundred and and eight thousand men Op the
IVniosji’.i, and placed 'lihftm in pestilenifc!
; swamps fur weeks, wherfr-thoueands died, while
_3ie wrote,to-Washington ,foi more rccn. They
will say that this was no?,spying an army, but.
destroying it They deo’iqre that he bad every
man that could be spared* and enough prop

difficult as that df the cap! are of Vicksburg, or

rebel cavalry, and weakened by long waiting
and sickness, was drive-j “back by a foe that
had not dared to stand’lrfore it a few weeks
before, it was not Generirt McClellan that saved
it. They soy that thiii' irmy, in its retreat,
was saved by its own spendid fighting, and
. the skill-of its corps eoMf#anders ; that where
strategy failed, , hard bh’ys succeeded; that
whenever a regiment was attacked by the en

• iny was not under the edi rol of one mind, but
by Hancock, He Hold*. Meade, Hook

vious people, who never - * rote a report so long
that it could not be reatviay that the General.
■ did not save the army, I if; that the army saved
the General. Itwas.no . fill it reached Hurri-
eon’s Landing, they a .cboiously assert, that
Re-had'any real powe ; dver its movement?.
Nay, they do-not stoj* here; they say' that
.Richmond was not saved by the skill of its de
fenders, but by the long, i dreary, weary delay
of General McClellan, who' buried the golden
. opportunity in a swi#np, with thousands. of
Union soldiers to mt te . glorious its grave.
JBnt these ate envious opponents of a Prcsiden 1 -
' tiai candidate, who art, answered by the plain
- fast that General McC ellun could not control
the Government and Jake Richmond at the'

McClellan has said thafythe Secretary of War

that Mr,-Stanton reinfi r fed that army till it ex

EDITOBIAX. iCOESEISPOWDEWCE,
The debate on the rule of the Senate requir
ing Senators to take the oath of allegiance be
fore entering upon their duties has occupied
the time for nearly a week. The opponents of
the rule argued that Senators were not officers
in the meaning of tho Constitution, and there
fore the law ■ upon which the rule was founded
was • not applicable. The statute requires all
officers in the civil service of the United States
tb take the oath. Of course the argument of
the opposers of the rule was purcly technical,
ir, as we* say about technical pleadings in
court—pettifogging, ■ - . , .-
But. the argument came -to.an end finally,
and the-Senate voted to sustain the rale by a
vote of 28'tri 11. -Mr. Bayard, who' had hith
erto refused to take the oath, toot it on Tues
day, and then made his farewell speech. His
speech was full of abuse of. the Administra
tion, and reminded many of the withdrawal of
Davis, Toombs, Wigfali and others, in Decem
ber 1860. Mr. Bayard looks the traitor, dots
the traitor,- and I believe he is a traitor..; If
any farther evidence be necessary, just take
notice bow all the Copperhead sheets will sure
ly take up the cudgels for him; They would
nipt defend a true man or a patriot. They tcill
elevate Bayard to martyrdom.
Fernando Wood delivered the key note speech
of tho McClellan Pence Democracy in the
Houst on Tuesday. He'is a fine speaker, and
a man of brains. But it is the old story of
“ intellectual Lucifer” over again. His speech
was full-of sophisms and falsehood and balmy
with sighs for peace. It may be asked why, if
these fellows want peace, they plunged the
into war? Did not they and their fel
lows have control of the republic for half-a-oen
tury prior,to this war? Did they not sit down
and fold their arms while Beauregard and his
fellow rebels' made - ready to batter down Fort
Sumter ? What did, they and their Mr. Bu
chanan <3o whe.n the South declared wa'r by
firing;on (the. Star of life'West in Charleston
Harbor,? Did they evefi mildly protest ? ,1
have not seen - the’protest.'
And is not this the same Fernando Wood
who, in 1800, in his‘annual Message as Mayor
of the city of New York, openly endorsed the
secession of South Carolina ? And did he not
also recommend the secession of New York
city from the State? These are your. Peace
men l —every one of .them, who is worth notice,
with the South, and against the Government,
from first to last. These are the professors
who have, taken the job of galvanizing the
McClellan corpse into life. M. 11. C.
Tflere is just now a great fluttering of the
. distillers ttndrccfifiersof whiskey. The House
has just passed a bill laying aTax of-CO per
cent additional upon all whiskey in store.
This blocks a very nice game of certain spec
ulators. who, anticipating an increase of tax
, upon the various liquors manufactured in this
country, clubbed together and bought up all
the whiskey they could lay hands on. They
expected to profit by the rise, of course; and
had not Congress blocked the game, these men
would havejmade millions by the operation. I
rejoiie at every defeat of the old enemy of do
mestic peace, and hope the tax will be laid on
until none but rich men can afford to tipple.
- The. quantity needed fur .sickness is so small
that nobody will suffer who dock not desire to
suffer from exorbitant prices. Every luxury
ought to bp made to sweat to the utmost pitch
in behalf of the Government. When whiskey
is made to cost fifty cents,tf dram, and strong
beer a quarter, we ehall see less, drunkeness
indoors and out, and less misery among the
poor.
Of, course the tax must come, out of, the,con
sumer. That is right. If a man will make a
beast of himself let him pay roundly-for the
means. But the enhanced value of the article
will) driye men to other beverages—none of -
which can be worse than the article now fur
nished.
. Some profess to believe that the House bill
cannot pass the Senate. Bulky petitions are
flowing in from all quarters, from distillers and
rectifiers, against the law. These petitions
will be considered and flung Wide, as they
ought to be. 1 M.H.C. |
Washington, February 3,1864,
The Proclamation of the President calling
fur 500,000 men, by draft, falls encouragingly
upon the ears of the really patriotic. , It seems
to.be acknowledged that the fight is to be deci
ded by main strength rather than strategy—
which istrategy, : as practiced by McClellan, cost
the people of the United States 500,000,000 of
dollars and 100,000 soldiers—and the order for
a hew levy of 500,000 men looks like on earn
est of the “main strength.”
But it must not be misconstrued—this call
for more troops, I have made inquiry among
men who ought to understand thp breadth and
bearing of the order. Prom a multitude of
counsel I conclude that this case includes the
previous call for-300,000 men, made last fall,
and for any-deficiency iu response to which a
draft was expected to take place the sth of
January . last. No draft was ordered, and
therefore this new order appears to be in the
nature of a call for an additional 200,000 men,
Chat is to say—-this call for 500,000 men readi
es back to the proclamation of lost October*;
and includes it.
The object, then, seems to be this: to put an

army of 500,000 men additional into the field.
Those states which have filled their quotas un
der the last call in October, will now have only
to fill their new-quota of the- extra-200,000.
Those States which have not filled, their quota
of, the 300,000 called for- Inst October, will
have so much the more to do now. Each en
rollment district would do well to take notice
that but a month remains wherein to avail it
self of the Government bounty pf §302,t0. new
recruits, and §402 to veterans. There is hard
ly a district "in Tioga Co. which could not fill
its quota under both calls Jn this time, were
the liable and non-liable, property-holders to
offer a fair bounty .additional to that offered by
the Government. He who cannot give service,
if he has money, most, sooner, or later, give
money. And why not give the money now,
freely, and without waiting for pressure ? Will
the -good people of Tioga take right bold of
this thing now—without another day’s delay ?

A dispatch received in Cincinnati from Kan
awha gives particulars of the ca'pture of Gen.
Scammon. and staff, and the burning of the
steamer Ley. It appears that the steamer was
lying atWinfield, on the weat side of Kanawha,
River, when thirty-five guerrillas appeared on
the opposite side, thirteen ofwbom crossed in
a- skiff and took possession of the boat, cap
turing Gen. Scammon and forty soldiers arid
officers, all of whom were asleep. The guer
rillas afterward burned the boat. -All on board
were paroled except Gen.. Scammon and three
other officers. The prisoriers wore mounted
and sent off into the interior. Our forces had
started in pursuit of them at last accounts.
A letter from Doboy Sound, Georgia, dated
Jan. 3, announces the capture by the gunboat
Huron of the British ship Sylvanus. After
beiqg repeatedly .shelled and well riddled, the
Sylvanus was run ashore and sunk in one
fathom of water, arid low tide leaves her nearly
dryland she may be repaired. She is about
40,0)uns burden, and is loaded with salt, spirits
of all kinds, cordage, &e. She was trying to
run in, and suddenly changed her mind upon
seeing the Huron, arid tried to run out. Her
papers made her out to be from Nassau, N. P.,
and hound, ostensibly to Bermuda. Her cap
t«iu acknowledged that she was a blockade
runner.
By last accounts from Chattanooga we learn
that Gen. Johnston, with nearly his whole
force, had fallen back as far as Borne, Gn.,
leaving only a portion of his troops at Dalton.
Itf was that Johnston either retired to
that point to. obtain supplies, or to prevent
desertions, as between eight and nine thousand
Rebels bad come into the Union lines since the
battle of Missionary Ridge. No anxiety for
the safety of our troops at Knoxville is enter
tained at Chattanooga. The line of couriers
between the two points is uninterrupted.
A letter from Charlotte llarbor, Fla., of
Jan. 520, says that an expedition, under Gen.
Woodbury, had arrived at Ponta Rosa for the
purpose of cutting off the supply of beeves,
which the Rebels are receiving from that region
at the rate of 1,500 per wfeck.
On Saturday morning a reconnaissance in
force from the Army of the Potomac started
toward the Rapidan. Considerable tiring took
place at Norton’s Ford during the day, and at
sp. ra. musket firing began and continued
until dark.
A skirmish occurred recently in Jackson
County, Mo,, between. Capt. Coleman’s Union
command and about 100 guerrillas, supposed
to be a part of Quantrell’s old force. : .
The Rebels made a series of attempts to cap
ture Cumberland Gap on Friday and Saturday,
29th and 30th ult., but they were repulsed by
Col. Love with a strong force.
Smiting the Copperheads. —The Harrisburg
Telegraph, in noticing the arrival of the 55 th
Regiment, at that place, says: As Col. DiclJ 1
White marched at the head of his veterans,
the 55th Regiment P. Y. t through the streets
of the,capital of his native State, the occasion
was made one of congratulation, and among
those who seemed most ardent in their welcome,
we noticed men who have been encouraging
the minority in the Senate, to persist in their
mean efforts to lake advantage of the absence
of Major Harry White, a brother of Col. Dick.
- What must the gallant Colonel think of the
demagogues who seek vC turn the imprison
ment of his-nobte brother to political account
He cannot fail, certainly, to treat such'men
with disdain and hold them accountable for the
beastliness with which bis brother is now treat
ed. Had it not been for the Copperheads who
infest Harrisburg and who have seats in the
Legislature, Harry White would have been in
Harrisburg.to-day to greet the return of his
noble Brother, Col. Dick .White.
When you hear Copperheads charging the
Rebellion upon the Republicans, confront them
with these truth's of history:”
1. The Rebellion was inaugurated under a
Democratic National Administration.
2. It was conceived and matured under
Democratic auspices.
3- ■ It had its nucleus and headquarters in
the Democratic-Cabinet of Buchanan,
4. Ita chief instigators .ond engineers were
leaders of the- Democratic party .in Congress
and Government Departments.
5. Its principal agents abroad were Dem
ocratic Ambassadors and Consuls serving the
cause of Treason under pay.
6. It had been in progress for months be
fore Mr. Lincoln was inaugurated.
7. Seven States had gone out of the Union
before the Democratic Buchanan left the Exec
utive Chair.
8. War had been declared, by the insur
gents, in firing upon the Star of the West,
long before the present Administration came
into power- '

,(" -Federal Authority in North Carolina.
The policy of retaining possession of every
foot of territory now under federal control in
North Carolina, is too palpable to require a mo
ment’s elucidation. It is true that the expen
ditures of money in holding possession up to
this time,, have been very great; but we are I
sanguine in the belief that the General Govern-
ment will yet be richly compensated, notwith-1
standing the enormous outlay of means which
has occurred.
By the economical policy which has been for
months inaugurated, and which is now being
most rigidly pursued by the military comman
der of this district, it is certain that hundreds
of thousands of dollars will be saved to the Na
tional Government.
This judicious management in connection
with the fact that a large sum of money has al
ready been ' collected and saved through the
Treasury Agency, established by Secretary
Chase, demonstrates the fact that our posses
sions in North Carolina will soon pay expenses,
and in a reasonable time will do much more
than this. AU'that is necessary to accomplish
these favorable pecuniary results, is to permit
the present policy with, regard to military ope
rations end commercial matters in connection
with the management of abandoned plantations,
to be faithfully carried out. No intelligent man
who is Conversant with these matters, can fail
to perceive the absolute correctness of the fofe
goittg^ta'tements.
But, in addition to this pecuniarp view of_the
subject, there are other considerations of still
deeper and, more-vital importance proving the
necessity of retaining full possession in North
Carolina.
There are more than a hundred thousand i
people to-day within our military lines, who
are entitled to the protection of the National
Government, by every consideration of human
ity and good faith. No event could likely occur
which would create such deep and wide-spread
gloom, as the withdrawal of federal protection.
In fact, there are many localities where a terri
ble and general panic would quickly follow such
a catastrophe, and the inhabitants would rush
in pursuit of the retiring flag.
They "would regard such a course as giving
them up to irretrievable destruction and ruin.
It is true that there are those who
within our lines, who are at heart bittei] and
implacable" secessionists, and who would, in
their madness, no doubt, welcome the rule of
even such an unmitigated despotism as that of
Davis and his coadjutors ; but they are limited
in number, and what is most gratifying, are
growingconstantly smaller.
The honest native slaveholders of Eastern
North Carolina —those who have been accus
tomed to labor for their living from their infan
cy—almost in a body, are devoted and loyal to
the national'flagj and they are the men who
have remained at their humble homes, and who
are now deeply anxious for this miserable re
bellion to be thoroughly crushed out. They
are the men who pray for the restoration of the
national authority, and who welcome the ap
pearance of our starred banner with all the fer
vency of genuine patriots. Throw around these
men and their families security and protection
—give them in good'faith to know that the in
famous band of fyrabts who have crushed them
to the earth for many long sad years, will never
again be permitted to return and crack the lash
of authority over them—and they will rush to
the defence of our Government, if necessary,
with all the alacrity of northerp veterans and
soldiers. * ,
These plain and unlettered men—many of
them who live in the woods, and others who arc
inured to the winds' and storms "along our
sounds.and on our coasts, understand full well
the nature of secesMonism and the infamous
Objects of Secessionists. They are honestly and
naturally Union men—and they despise and
hate all traitors with an undying hatred. They
know that all the blood which has been shed,
and all the terrible and heart-rending events
which have swept over the South since the first
traitoi gun boomed out its sad peal at Fort Sum
ter, is justly chargeable to that band of assas
sins and conspirators who now rule that intol
erable mobaoracy of a Southern Confederacy.
We say, then, for the sake of thesojmen and
all that is dear to them—for the sake of the
Old North State, which was really dragooned
and dragged into this wild whirlpool of carnage
and civil strife, against the deliberate protest
and convictions of her truest sons; —and, in
short, for the sake of the common honor and
glory of our beloved National Government, let
those native North Carolinians be defended and
protected in their present possessions. Do not
lessen the limits of federal authority one inch;
rather let the area be extended as every dictate
of justice and sound policy For the
accomplishment of these great objects, we de
pend with unshaken faith upon the wisdom,
integrity and firmness of Abraham Lincoln and
his wise arid patriotic Cabinet.
A Heroic Mail Carrier. —The Davenport
Gazette relates that Cyrus Clapp, the mail car
rier between Davenport'and lowa City, made
his trip last Friday, ns usual, but twenty-four
hours behind time. He walked forty-six miles
of the distance! carrying the qiail bag on bis
shoulder;—When asked how he could be indu
ced 'to-attempt such a trip, his reply was: ’“ My
contract says the mail must be carried when at
aR possible; I knew it was possible for me to
walk, though impossible to drive my horse
through the heavy drifts.” This faithful ser
vant of Uncle Sam, : fully fifty years of age,
started on his return again within two hours
afterwards by the same conveyance !
Ventilation of Bedrooms. —Two persons
occupying the same bedroom will weigh at
leasta pound less in the morning than at night.
This is owing to the ( escape of matter that has
passed (iff in the meantime through the skin
and lungs. The exhalation is carbonio acid
gas, which is poisonous. This is diffused in
the air or absorbed by the hed-olotbes. The
fact suggests the necessity for ventillatihg sleep
ing rooms, and airing bed-clothes in the mor
ning before making a'bed.
James B. Clay, late a member of the House
of Representatives from tho Ashland district
in Kentucky, died in Montreal last night—a
fugitive. ,He thoroughly sympathised with
the, rebel movement in the South, and since
his'flight to Canada has been actively engaged
with Vftllandigham, Morehead and other fugi
tives in concocting, plots against our govern
ment.
In the Ohio Legislature ten “conservatives”
have been ousted from their seats and four
ot aers are to be similarly disposed of, haying
got in-by the refusal of election ckrka to count
soldier’s votes.
Ir is more than a hundred years since an
heir apparent to to tho British crown-has had
a son. The eldest son of George 11. died a
few.y.ears before his father, leaving his son, af
terwards George HI., surviving. Since that
time been no soch state of things as
now exists. The children of George 111.
were all born while be was on the throne.
George IY. had no children. It was reserved
for Queen Victoria, of all the late sovereigns of
tho House of Brunswick, to see during her own
life time two generations of heirs male destined
in.,due time, if the order of nature is not inver
ted to succeed to the British throne.
Among a number of patriotic resolutions be
fore the California Legislature was one which
concludes as follows: “ That the people still
lookjto Abraham Lincoln as the instrument se
lected by Providece to lead this country through
all its peril, and restore it again to a peace in
which no element of discord Shall be found,
and WO do most heartily favor his re-election.”
This passed the Senate with but five dissenting
votes, and the Assembly with but two nays.
General "Wilder, who commands a negro
brigade in North Carolina, knows how to tame
the rebels. Two of his black soldiers were re
cently captured by them, whereupon ho seized
the wife and family of the Colonel who ,took
them, and notified him that the fate of the ne
groes would'be that of fhe woman and children.
The negroes were restored.
