THE AGITAIjOfI. i* ■ " 11 “ i!!_ 2t coßßj EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. WEttSBORODGH, PEMNM: WEDNESDAY, PEOSI WASHINGTONS. Editorial Correspondence of The AgliatoiJ ; Washington, Fe'o. 6> J. 865. Peace By negooiation, tbs. latest weitsation, harbten sought, and not found.- few; days the rumored possible passing^: way of •‘the, pomp and circumstance of v ir,” and the return of,the white-winged dovo'of Peace, elbowed and shouldered every othjtfjsensation out of eight and mind. Now, however, the reign of quid-nuncs is cut short by tie return of the President and Secretary Selfard from Fort Monroe, bringing with them-.the mbst un expected news that Jeff. at-dhis co-con spirators will listen to no terms wbjoh involves a return of allegiance. It is a curious fact that uearly every leading j onrnal in the country took the peace fever in in - violent form, and jfvid;-sbpt tho mark. There was never the slight Jst #ound for hope of peace through oomprprr' hhf except the compromise involved in the (nfependenoe of the Seceded States., I say thk there was never, the least ground for hope Of .such a re sult through negooiation, at this stage of the game. ■ This may look like an impeachment of the. judgment and foresight of, the’ leading journalists.- It I* not so’intended. jßut as ar m)es ate sometimes struck with panic £ nd stam pede, so the newspaper'world- beckin' the vic tims of the Peace furore, and some most speculations thereuCto relating. I yield to iio man in >Vr peace,:— But that desire shall never induct* or seduce me loolbse my eyes to the great (fact of-the situation. The intention of the Sf Ithern lead ers, in the very beginning, was no'.Unasked, — They aimtd at nothing hut independence. They did not abolish the (Constitution declare their allegiance.dissolved fora pas fojei- They fteant what they said." Their deeds 'were not capable of two interpretations. Ejiry public utterance of their leaders has pointed directly at -the achievement of independence for the seceded States. The experience-;of' the last four years ought to have been so-hiany ■ safe guards against the laughable pampdotO wbic,h “ The, .Tribunes,” ' “ The Times,” ” The Her alds,” and “ The Chronicles,” we,re precipitate.d by a sensitive telegram. Whe’fi peace..comes through 'negooiation, the negotiators will not. be the leaders of the rebellion, but the people of the Sonth, who have - been dragooned into rebellion. ■ i let me not apeak too harshly of these deeded Editors. They acted up they, at the moment, believed to he the poli cy. Probably they will-now disc the fact that their action was purely po, icy, ond not with hope of peace result. ,1 'ell, let that go. The panic did good. It w* b overruled for. good, ai man’s Wisdom or fool yhneaa ever is. Jtiscortain that the undign->ved visit of the President and his Secretary 'of State to Fort Monroe has taken , the win out of the sails of such"men aa Wood, Cox f,Pendleton, and Yoorhees. Fernando has alrf tdy declared the rebels will not consent, to return to the Union on any terms they mt>t be forced to return by the strong arm. Co'Jt has offered a resolution of thanks to the President for trying to negociate a peace. Both indicate that they will henceforth sustain flje President in his effort to pot down the rebels. That is something. I am. not airc that the panic will not result in the consolidation of the North—in the wiping out d? parties ns they existed last fall. I. hope U .may; for with an united north, the end of, rebellion would be seen and secured by the first of May. But I did not look for this result. The journalists of the great cities Ad no't foresee it. If it comes, it will come as hll other prov idences come— , ■ >,.

On reviewing the entire grou.id of past and present action, it most be conceded that he who first jiropoaed to' support the common ex penditure by taxation must ha>'e been a bold man.- Taking into account sensi tiveness of the region known “ the pocket,” the proposition to levy upon it for tbs common good, or must have made a sensation'.. \ But taxation lias come to be acknowledged the moat Just and equal mode , if maintaining national, State, and municipal 1 spenaea. The system is intended ta be based upon the dis tribntion of real and personal feetlth ; so that he who has accnmulated much 'contributes in that proportion hr the replenishment of the. pablio parse, while be who li a little, or nothing, pays 'little i r nothing into the common-treasury. -Often th ire is a present hardship in tbe working pf '• be justest and most benifieeni syetem ever adtptqfl. For ex ample: One man may have a amount of non-productive property, reprinting a great er or less value of real proper^. l prospectively. The penalty lot owning such f is that he moat pay taxes upon it out -f his product ive property, and wait, perhap- years for the return ; and possibly it navej s r returns. These hardships cannot bo avoided. ‘ Che only rem edy- ie to permit tbe property o .go under the hammer in payment of taxes. ■ I But my purpose in this not to writ* a dissertation upon the system of taxation. It is rather to show, how,”: under the system of In-, come Tax, the .financiers of-the country -have reflly passed upon the necessary expenditures of many hundred thousand households without reference to .the size of families. Not in a spirit of fault-finding, bnt moved by an ear nest'riesiro to enforce the lesson of economy tangbt by implication by the Income Tax law. FEB. .>.5, -1865 It will be remembered that income to the amount of $6OO is, entirely exempt from tax ation under the law; This is intended to he an average necessary income for each family taking the entire country together. It is as much as to say, that the sum of §6OO per an num is necessary for the present expenses of a family and a reasonable provision for That “ rainy day" so mnch talked of and so little provided for. The finances of the country, then, have as good as declared that every fam ily needs an income of $6OO net, —or apart from levy and rate for public use. . How many families have §6OO per annum ? About one in fifty, prohablyl, So, of one hundred families, ninety-eight ate just living by the “ rub-and-go," or, being, maintained; In whole or in part, by public and private charities. These ninety-eight families, then, cannot lay by much for the “ rainy day.’ Their years of life are but aufccesaive struggles for a comfortable living. This is on the supposi tion that onr finance managers have placed the income at the right notch. Two families in every hundred have §6OO per annum. How much of this is profit, and how much expense? A family of four persons' cannot live comfortably, jjin a village, where, ■they are consumers merely, on less than,about §lOO each, at present prices* for food and rai ment. Suppose that the expense of maintain ing a family of consumers is §lOO per head ; a family of four, with an income of §6OO, will have §2OO to lay by at the end of the year.— That is an investment of §5O each for the “ rainy day." what ia to become of the families whose incomes are not more than §3OO, and whose numbers vary from two to ten? Itia plain that such families have to “ pinch” their larden-and scant their clothes. Now tbs number^of families" with not more than' §3OO per annum is largely in excess of those having more. Does it not follow, then, that either the bulk' of mankind are sorely tried by hun ger and cold, or that the majority are onlpa blyrwiokedly, and recklessly extravagant ? I But what are the facts ? The majority of families in America are neither starved nor frozen. Look aronnd yon and observe that fact for yourselves. On the contrary —not more than one-twentieth, at the most, can be said to depend upon charity for subsistence; and the remainder are living in a greater cr less degree of comfort. But a great many of these families with less than $6OO per annum—probably a majority of them—are farmers. The man who tills a few acres of land, seldom suffers for any of the necessaries of life. He who- raises his corn, potatoes, beef, and. pork, who manages to sell a nice surplus of butter, cheese and other farm products, cannot, ordinarily, suffer for want of anything necessary to sustain life and en sure reasonable comfort. And now we ap proach tfae lesson taught, perhaps immediately, by the national financiers. The lesson is— strive to become lt is written “ he is a benefactor wbo makes two blades of grass grow where but one grew before.” Nothing can be truer., Poverty is no guest of the pro ducing class. It abides chiefly With the con sumers. ' . Bat the lesson does not end here. It is a public rebuke of the extravagance which threatens more, and worse, for the nation than the armies of Jeff. Davis. Say what you will, cover it up as you will, the peopleof this coun try are given- to a most hideons habit of extrav agance. It.is not that every can, under the circumstances,'live on $6OO per-year for nobody maintains such a doctrine. But it .is because, owing to an unnatural expansion of the currency, money is plenty, wages high, and credit gone dead. Men buy, and pay down 'now; and the luxury of doing so, f / have thought, causes them to purchase much jthat is utterly useless and unnecessary. Is there a carpet less bought now than five years ago ? or silks, or satins, or anything that goes to make up Uis wardrobe of men and women ? I would like to know if one man or woman has yet put on “ home-made,” who did not Wear home-made five years ago. Yet the strain upon the finances is getting greater and greater .every day'; and fhe wonder'oftenest' heard expressed is, that | some of the main 'ropes have not parted ere this, involving the breakage of the. rest, and the consequent, wreck of thf good old ship. It is this fearful, reckless--extravagance that forces upon my mind the probability that peace is farther away than many eminent publicists have seemed to imagine daring the past two -weeks. "This straggle must work great reform all over the. country. It cannot be otherwise. Why not, all of ns, meet it half-way, and show that "wo are capable of the exercise of self-denial in a time of public trouble and -financial em barossment ? . Is .it not wiser to--accept. the truth in advance-of the penalty for rejecting it ? I think so. •M. H. G Few need to he told that preachers of econ omy cannot expect popular applause. The world dislikes to aoknoweldge the sin of ex travagance. But the crime against society now.degenerates into a crime against the gov ernment itself. It must be abanodned, either now, by option, pr hereafter when no man or woman’s choice will be consulted M. H. C. The Richmond press proposes that tbe rebel soldiers be offered one month’s pay in gold at a cancel for their last year’s services. THE TiOG A 0.0 UNTY AGITATOR. WAR NEWS. Reports from Rebel nod other sources say that Gen., Sberman has occupied Brnnchville. Possibly they are all a little premature, but thAy all serve to indicate that the Rebels have abandoned their intention to defend the place, ortho railways of which, it is the .iuncHup. Sherman’s cgvalry has cot the railroad frnm Branchville to Augusta, and does not seem to meet with any opposition. In Branchville it self there is apparently no garrison—nothing morelthon. a eurps of observation, retiring-as fast as Snerman advances. The condition of affairs at Richmond, the activity of Gen. Grant, the close approach to the Southsido Railroad, the extension of our lines westward, all oppose the conclusion that Leo is in a condition to spare any considerable portion of his army Hr re sist Gen. Sherman. South Carolina—Charles ton itself—promise to become the easy spoil ;>i the invader, and the process of “ subjugation ” goes on apace. THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE FOR 1865, The military and naval successes of 1861, with the auspicious-result of oor Presidential .con test, have lifted a heavy weight from the breasts of the loyal millions of our countryo'en. It is now felt evjen by those who have been distrust ful and faint-hearted, that the Union is to emerge triumphant from the deadly strife wfiereinto she was so wickedly precipitated by her assailants, and that Slavery, her relentless foe,, is to en counter the fate of Haman. The perils of for eign intervention and of Western insurrection are Safely passed; Abraham Lincoln, nolonger assailable as the choice of a minority; holds the helm of State for four yearaiongejr; thejlebel lion, palpably weakened by i% defeats and losses during the year now closed—with its r credit so reduced that its purso-liearer officialt? declares that its Treasury Notes can only Ce~ exchanged for coin at the rate of twenty-five for one, while its bonds command but six cents on the dollar—but awaits the blow which shall soon strike the sword from its parricidal hand and remit its master-spirits to the justice, or it may be to the clemency, of a sorely wronged and justly incensed, but forbearing and mag nanimous people. Such are the auspices which justify our foith that the year bow opened will see the Stars and Stripes float unchallenged from avery battlement in the'republic,- and the perfect law of Liberty for All immovably im bedded in the Constitution of our Union. The York Tribune, founded in 18,41, wilt“ enter upon its twenty-fourth year with' quickened topes and enlarged meansTof use fulness. Its principles need no restatement: its aims are the diffusion’ of intelligence, and the inculcation of a spirit of Freedom and Hu manity. When this truth shall have been gen erally recognized and established as the basis of our institutions and polity, that injustice to the poorest, the weakest, the most despised, is a fearful mistake. That no community or State can afford to wrong even its humblest member —then will our land bask once more in the calm sunshine of peace and pospcrityJ The Triune has for the Inst year been pub lished with but small profit to its proprietors, when compared with the enormous labor ond outlay devoted to its publication, eoiely l becauae of the depreciation of our currency below the specie standard, compelling us to buy paper and other materials at iTcost considerably above the foil amount received from our subscribers. On our weekly edition the net loss has amoun ted 10 many thousands of dollars; while our large receipts from advertising have been ab sorbed by the extraordinary expenses for cor respondence, telegraphing, &c., devolved on us by the war. As we do not suppose our patrons desire that we should work for them at nur own cost, and prefer not to be patroniied hy 'nny who may desire it, we have somewhat advanced for the ensuing year the prices of onr semi weekly and weekly, as we had already done with those of onr daily editions. This increase is purely nominal. Thera never before was a time when the farmers of our country could buy The Tribune for so little of their own products or labor as they can by the following TERMS.

Address THE TRIBUNE, New York SWORD PRESENTATION, Oaup Cadwalamr. Phila., I January 18th<1865. ’ j Friend Agilaf&r .-—The non-comraissioned officers and privates of Co. I, 187th P, V. to day had the honor to present Lieut. Langford B. Webb, commanding Co. I, with a beautiful sword, etiah and belt, as a token of their regard for him as a soldier and a gentleman. • JTbe presentation was made in behalf nf the I company, by Orderly Sergeant M. R Crosly, I irflla neat little speech, in which be alluded to Lhut. Webb’s services since he has been with Cd. I—of his enduring the hardships of long ..and toilsome marches, by day and night- and at all times cheerful and obliging to the’men I under his command. 1 ! Sergeant Crosly also spoke of his almost reckless bravery during the bloody day of the 18th of June, 1864, before Petersburg, where many of our brave comrades to rise no more ; anywhere it seemed impossible for-any one to live through the storm of iron and lead that was hurled with devastating Jury against our advancing cotnmn ; and when struck and severely bruised by a musket ball, and being repeatedly urged and advised to leave the field, persistently refused to go. He asked the Lieut! to take the weapon, as they knew of no better way to express' their regard, or of' no better gift to bestow on an officer whom they respect ed; and that they had every confidence that they had placed a bright blade in hands that would neither allow it to rust or be dishonored. Lieut. Webb responded - briefly ; as he was taken quite aback when called, and finding bis company.drawn up in front of-his quaiters lie accepted the sword, thanked the dutiors, and said it should never bo drawn only in a jusy cause and in defence of his country. The o unp'tny ihen gave three heart- cheers tnr-T.u-.iit. Wehb,~»sd dispersed to- t-beir A Member of Co. I. The Scene is the House on the Passage or the Constitutional Amendment. —a spec ial to the Cincinnati G izette thus describes it-: "The largest audinence of the session packed the galleries and-lobbies, crowded the reporter's gallery, with ladi.es, and overflowed into all the vacant spaces. On the floor appeals were made, as usual, from the Democratic side. In have the wile postponed, and there were 'implied threats of fillibustetiug unless it was; but Mir. Ashley refused to make- any further delay, and the Democrats wisely resolvetj to submit. The final announcement of the vote' was the sig.al for a whirlwind of applause, wholly unpreced in Congress, and the galleries led off, giving jiiheer after cheer. The members on the floor then joined, shooting, throwing np their hats and clapping their hands, whil 1 the ladies ih the galleries waved their handkerchiefs, and tbo very pages on the floor joined in the dem onstration of ddight. The Democrats had been very fierce in their demands for order when thou- bad been some applause over the affirm ative votes of some of tbeir own number, and had very imperiously demanded the enforce ment of the rules, hut the storm of applause that now swept through the chamber was tno much to resist. They sat silent and solemn in their seats amid all the rejoicing. A Queer Incident. —An amusing instance of. the value of a ready 'wit and presence of mind occurred during the' advfrice of the 2d Corps, on Sunday. Near Hatcher's Run a young lad irujhe 14th Connecticut, going with a coffee pat to"-getwater from the stream, suddenly found hiutsiTfTßiwaamndod by three rebels.—J With till the fiercenKss'brf-VQice he could mukij ter, lie-eOTiiinamled' lliem to throw down IheitJ arms and surrender. Supposing that the belli youth-had companions near to enforce his com mand, they complied, when he seized one of their ipuskets, and marched them into camp in great triumph. This story is related in camp as.tbe capture of throe rebels with a coffee pot. The Sox.dif.rs os Peace. —The general im pression in military circles seems to be convey ed iUjlhe homely expression of a private soldier standing in the long line from the steamboat to tbe-Quaytermaster’s office.thia morning, “await ing his turn" for transportation. Discussing the probable results of the conference in the line, ns was everybody else, this blue-coated Solon remarked : “ You’ll never git a peace out of then devils that's worth having till you liek it out of them.” JEROME: B.
