[Editorial Correspondence'of*The Agitator.]
WiSHixoTos, Deo. 5, 1864.
One' docs not observe much change in such a
city as Washington after six months’ absence.
In fact, it is ns if one had slept overnight and
awoke to find the same dull routine of business
around him. Apart from the public buildings
there is not a great deal cf substantial improve
ment going on. The natives still build shammy
bouses for rent—bouses that would not do
credit to a backwoods village, much less to a
Capital city. To show how landlords are get
ting rich iTbay cite the fact, that a Philadel
phia Building Association last spring pur
ehassed several building lots about one mile
east of the Capitol, and proceeded to lay the
foundations of a block of sixteen three story
brick tenements. They, bad scarcely broken
ground ere Jhey were literally overrun with
applicants for the Louses ; and I believe they
rented or sold most of the block before the first
stones were up.
, That our quiet people may form some idea of
the cost of keeping up an establishment in
Washington, 1 will give some of the prices paid
for ordinary tenements. A quite common two
story house—tjhe street door opening directly
into the parlor—with barely two rooms and a
-kitchen on the ground floor, and two sleeping
rooms above, rents for $4O per month ; that is
S4oo per year. Such houses as those built by
Mr. Cone on the State Road would rent for $6OO,
per year at the very least. There is a scarcity
bf jhouses suitable to the heeds and means of
Small families. Consequently “rotten rows’ 1
are being erected all over thc city. They pay
about 1-50 per cent, on the actual cost whCn
rented.' ;
However, the laws of the district discrimi
nate in favor of the tenant rather than of the
landlord. It is no enviable thing to be a land
lord in Washington. The law is full of cat
holes through which a slippery tenant may
creep and so escape both landlord and consta
ble. Plenty of lawyers can be found wSo, for
h tolerable sum, will put tile landlord at the
mercy of the-tenant. ]
The city is getting filled' op rapidly as the
day for the assembling of Congress approaches.
A large majority of both Houses are on the
ground, and by 11J a. m. to day, there will not
be a respectable minority absent. Everything
indicates important work to be done daring the
last session of the Thirty-Eighth Congress.—
seems to be on the alert. It now
looks like business. The very prevalent belief
that the last days of the great rebellion are not
far distant, lends anxious interest to the com
ing session. Ido not know that any one fixes
the doom day of the “ Confederacy”; but the
belief is almost universal that it is not far off.
As good an indication of the abandonment of
Virginia by the rebels as any, lies in the con
duct of the resident rebels. They talk about
going to Richmond to set up business within
three- months. This may be nonsense. But
some- people, well posted in “ signs of the
times,” think it proceeds from a secret knowl
edge of. the plans of the rebel chiefs. It is
quite certain that Sherman has done (he Con
federacy some fearful damage; for the faces
of the sympathizers here are taking on several
extra degrees of latitude nowadays.
The first reunion of the season was given by
Col. W. Forney, at his rooms on New Jersey
Avenoo on Saturday evening. It was altogeth
er the grandest affairthat has been witnessed
in’this city for the year. The assemblage of
noted persons, both civil and military, was
large, while the presence of individuals of lesser
, note gave the whole a decidedly democratic
aspect. Of military men, Gen. Hancock was
the mark of especial regard. He is the meat
magnificent man one will see in a lifetime.—
Some inches above the average stature of nien,
he has the msiscle of the wrestler in as perfect
harmony of development as ever sculptor
wrought in marble. A head as grand as the
head of Agassiz, and a face ae firm as the
idealized portraits of ’Washington, give him a
mien and a carriage at once benign and impo
sing. Ho possesses the rare faculty of receiv
ing the‘adrairation of people without any show
of self-consciousness. '
Of the civil notables, perhaps Mr. Secretary
Seward was the most noted, though there was no
lack of Cabinet officers, Senators, Judges, and
chiefs of bureaus. Among the representative
men of the day was Capt. Erricson, the inven
tor of tho Monitor war vessels. He has none
of the appearance of a Norseman, although a
Norseman by birth. The Phrenologist would
make a great point on the development of bis
forehead in the region of oonstruotiveness and'
causality/
Of literary men there were Dr. Mackenzie,
Dr. Elder, Daniel E. Goodloe, L. Clephane and
Hon. E. McPherson—all in the best of humors,
and furnishing the coodimental attio salt of
conversation. There was wit, and wine, bat no
ladies. Col. Forney himself never looked bet
ter.
There is considerable talk relative to Cabinet
changes, but most of it is speculation. J.
Speed, Esq., of Louisville, Ky., is appointed
Attorney General cice Bates, resigned., “Pat
ting this and that together." I am inclined to
think that Pennsylvanio will have the Navy
Department, and perhaps it will not give great
offence to the Union men of the Keystone if
Mr. Lincoln should tender that portfolio to Col.
Forney. This is simply conjecture on the part
of your humble servant, of course. But I anr
quite certain that Col. Forney yrould make a

DEC. 14, 1864.
Washington, Deo.'O, 1864.
Congresa assembled! at noon yesterday. The
attendance was more general than is usual,
both of members and spectators. The galleries
were well filled, possibly in expectation of
hearing the Message. If so, a crowd was forced
to decamp in disappointment. That document,
long looked-for but yet invisible, will be read
at noon to-day. Rumor says that it is not long,
that it is pointed) vigorous and decidedly Lin
cblnish. I hope it is. The Messages of Abra
ham Lincoln arc like refreshing fruits and
grateful waters amid the desert of like papers
by his more immediate, predecessors. Not pol
ished, but terse, unmistakeable. and straightfor
ward, Lincoln’s communications to Congress
will one day be quoted as models of excellence,
considered as the utterances of the Executive
to the people. Abraham is no diplomatist. He
drives directly forward upon the path he in
tends to pursue.. Such a man may not be ap
preciated by the self-styled ton, but he finds an
appreciative audience with the people.
It is rumored that the Message whispers of
peace. A few hours will decide that. Mean
time let us remember that there can be no
permanent peace in this country until unmiti
gated seoundrelism is driven 'into positive
outlawry. The unkempt spirit of Satan which
actuated the advocates of Gen. McClellan must
be permanently laid. The incitement to the
perpetration of fraud and violence to thwart the
wilbof the people was born of the meanest
grade of covetousness and unbridled lust for
plunder. This covetous and reckless spirit
must be exorcised. It cannot be done while
its subjects are recognized among men of honor
and decency. The proscriptions commanded
by the ritual,and rules of the Order t>f American
Knights must be retaliated without favor to any
of the motley crew. Such men are entitled to
tbo -crust and cup of cold water commanded
to be given to all, the just and the anjust,
alike, and to nothing more. We must “fight
the devil with fire.” M. H. C.
The Message, like victory in the field, has
two perceptible effects—the elation of loyal
men and the discomfiture of traitors. The calm
and confident tone of the document is equiva
lent to a victory in the field.. There is no
shuffling; no attempt over a single
event or act of the past year; no elaborate
argument to conceal th£ hearing of facts; no
relaxation of the grip upon the throat of trea
son. He telfs a plain, unvarnished story which
will rank among the best of American State
papers, and furnish the groundwork of the
history of the republic of 1864.
As the renders of the Agitator will peruse
the Message in full,l need not enter into details.
It may be well enough to say, however, that the
condition of the finances, as officially stated,
may cram the lie down the throats of blatant
traitors in the north, who have frightened the
penurious and timid with reckless estimates of
the public indebtedness during the autumn
just past. The debt is still less than two
thousand millions, notwithstanding the asser
tions of these unmitigated rebels that it was
three 'thousand millions. The bulk of these
falsifiers are men who owe every cent of their
property to tbo beneficence of the Government,
"and who do not pay into the common treasury
over,‘ten dollars per annum" I have noticed
that these men, who do not bear the burden of
taxation,' are the loudest in their denunciation
of taxation. Probably they hope to impress
upon the public the notion that they are men
of means who are not forced to resort to acts
which savor of swindling, to keep body and
soul together.
The appointment of Hon. S. P. Chase aa
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States gives great satisfaction to radical
and moderate men. When it is known that
Mr. Chase’s departure from the Cabinet was
owing to the alienation existing between the
President and himself, which grew out of
differing views of financial policy, the prompt
appointment of Mr. Chase shows that Mr. Lin
coln is above the littlenesses which disfigure the
lives of public men, not seldom, and capable
of forgetting personal matters in remembering
the country.
Unquestionably Mr. Chase is the foremost
jurist in the country. His position upon the
great questions of the time is well known; and
the people may rest assured that we shall have
no more Bred Scott case decisions, and no more
Jesuitical construing of the organic law. The
highest court in the republic is now regenerated
and disenthralled. Its decisions will no more
take on the hue of narrow prejudice, or touch
the border-land of barbarism. Thank God for
this.
One sentence of the Message will not fail to
win the applause of every true patriot. It is
the closing sentence, and ought to stand at the
head of every loyal paper in the nation. As if
the people were themselves competent to judge
of the facts of history (as all honest men ad
mit), he sums up the peace question and argu
ment in this laconic style : "In stating a
“single condition of peace, I mean simply to
“say that the war on the part of the govern
“ ment will cense whenever it shall cease on
“ the part of those who began it.”
There it is, in a nutshell. The men who
began the war can close it at their will. There
is no " surrender” to be expected from Mr.
Lincoln, none from the American people.
Whenever Jefferson Davis, at the South, and
Vallandigham and bis followers at the North
elect to acknowledge the supremacy of the
'Washington, Deo. T, 1864.
Constitution and obey the laws, the war will i
end. It will end for the plain reason that the !
cause of war will' have' been removed. It is
not in the power of the Government to make
peace except bythe sword. It is in the power
of the rebels, north and south, to moke peace
by a return to obedience. Now, which will
they elect ? Peace is to come, sooner or later.
It must come in one of these two modes. The
government does not hesitate to take the respon
sibility of maintaining its integrity by the ex
treme of force, if necessary. The apostles of
peace can no.w give evidence of their sincerity.
They can have peace .through obedience to the
Constitution and the Jaws. M. H. C.

Friday, Dec. 9—Morning.
A reconnoitering force of cavalry went out
on the left yesterday afternoon, striking the
Rebel pickets on the Vaghe road, driving them
to Hatche’s Run, a distance of over two miles,
where they had breastworks erected, and where
they made a stand.’
Skirmishing continued for some time, when
the object of the movement having been fully
accomplished, the expedition returned.
Some of those who accompanied this party
report that heavy iring was heard in the di
rection of Stony Greek, which indicates that
fighting was going on between Gen. Warren
and the enemy.
Tbe Crops for tbe Year.
According to the report of tbe Agricultural
Bureau, tbe wheat crop for the year 1864
amounts 160, 68-5, 823 bushels. It takes about
five bushels of wheat to make a barrel of flour,
which would make the production equal to
thirty-three and a half millions of barrels, or
more than one and a half barrels to every one
of the population of twenty millions whose in
dastry produced it. The production of wheat
is only about nine millions barrels less than in
1863, which was considered an excellent crop.
Tbe rye production was 18,872,957 bushels,
or less than one million short of the production
of the previous' year. Barley 10, 872, 328
about the same decrease as rye in the year’s
production. Oats 166,690,064 bushels, an in
crease of six millions over the previous year.
Hoy 18,116, 751 tons, or about a million and
half tons, less than in 1863. Corn 530,582,-
403 bushels, or about seventy-eight millions
increase over tbe previous year. Buckwheat
18,600,540, bushels an increase of four mil
lions.
Taking the yearly production, therefore, the
balance is in favor of 1864, and the quality is
much betfetjl If the currency and taxes did
not affect prices, all the leading articles of pro
visions which form the support of life would
be less in price. The'sorghum, another valu
ble crop, shows a large increase. In the pro
duct! >n of animal food there is, however, a ma
terial falling off in nearly oil of the Stales. The
production of flaxseed shows verylarge increase
—New Jersey and Pennsylvania taking the
lead in the increase, in the first amounting to
over fourteen pew cent. Ten of the loyal States
produce cotton. The falling off in tobadcco is
set down at sixty seven millions of pounds.
Balancing all the increase and decrease of
vegetable and animal productions, and there is
shown to be an abundance of food for the pop
ulation!
A Sharp Order— Maj or Genenttl Butler has
issued the following spicy order, which suffi
ctntly explains itself:

Tbs Bank of England, on tho 10th inst., re
duced the rate of interest from nine to eight

of borrowers by the late revulsion.
Georoe H. Pendleton, of Waterbary, Con
necticut (a second cousin of the man who was
not elected Vice President), voted for Lincoln
and Johnson at the late election.
The Forces in the Field.— The Army and
Kaxy Journal, which is very high authority on
all military matters, computes the forces which
the rebels now have in the field at a very mod
erate figure. Hood’s army, now in Tennessee,
is estimated at 35,000. Early’s force in the
Shenandoah Valley is set down at less than
15,000, and Lee’s ns less than 50,000. These
figures amount in the total to 100,000. The
forces.with which Price recently invaded Mis
souri, and the garrisons of Charleston, Savan

swell the aggregate to 176,000.
