Wednesday, Dec. 16, JBGB. The President's Message. The President's Message which was sent j to Congress on Wednesday last, is full of j telling points against the radicals. We j cannot tind space for it in this issue and | therefore give our readers a brief abstract t taken from the Bloomsburg Columbian. The President opens by referring to the non-representation of Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas in Congress. After a fair trial, he says the reconstruction acts have sub stantially failed, and proved pernicious in their results, and there seems no good rea son why they should remain on the statute ' books. States to which the Government i guarantees a republican form of govern ment have been reduced to military depen dencies. He elaborates this fact and its consequences, and goes on to say briefly that experience has demanded the repeal of the Civil Tenure bill. He recommends al so that the act of March 2, depriving the President of power to issue military or ders except through army headquarters, Is repealed, and all other obnoxious laws re stricting executive powers. The message reviews Secratary M'Culloch's report and speaks at length 011 finances and substan tially in the same vein of the report. He pictures the evils of a depreciated curren cy, the necessity for a return to specie pay ments. and indorses the main propositions of the finance report. The President then gives a resume of the annual reports and calks attention to the recommendations therein. He makes but slight reference to the negotiations for the settlement of Ala bama claims. Our relations with Mexico have been marked during the year by in creasing growth and natural confidence. The Mexican Government has not yet act ed on the three treaties for adjustment of claims, regulating consular power and es tablisliing the rights of naturalized citizens. Negotiations are pending under the auspi ces of the United States for tha construc tion of a ship canal across the Isthmus of Darien, and I hope to be able to submit the result to the Senate. The President says he has been compelled to ask expla nation and satisfaction for national inju ries committed by the President of Havti, and in speaking of Cuba says : "It cannot be long before it will be necessary for the government to lend some effective aid to the solution of the political and social pro blems which are kept before the world in the Island of San Domingo, and which are now disclosing themselves in the Island of Cuba. The subject is commended to the earnestness of Congress liecau.se lam sat isfied that the time has arrived when even so direct a proceeding as a proposition for an annexation of the two republics of the Island of Domingo would not only receive the consent of the jieople interested, but would also give satisfaction to all foreign nations." Regarding other foreign matters, the message relates to consular ami commer cial matters, ami is not important, imleed, hardly worth printing. In concluding liis message, the President recommends the following admendments to the Constitution of the United States. First. For the elec tion of President and Vice President bv the direct voice of the people, and making them ineligible for re-election. Second. For a distinct designation of the person who shall perform the duties of the officeo of President in case of the death of the Presi dent and Vice President. Third. For elec tion of Senators by the people. Fourth. For the limitation of the term of years of offices of Federal judges. The President hopes that when his term of service expires with those whom he now addresses, that the Union will be blessed and prosperous. A NEC.RO CONGRESSMAN. —The Radicals have at length socceeded in accomplishing one of their most cherished projects. By throwing out the votes of twelve Democra tic parishes in Louisiana they have man aged to secure the return of a negro to Congress. The name of the happy darkey is Menard. By the patent Radical method of rejecting what votes they please and counting only what suits them, this Afri can representative is sent to Washington to fill the unexpired term of a dead carpet bagger named Mann. We congratulate the Republican party on this fnagnificent triumph of their policy. Let them rejoice now that they succeeded in accomplishing their most dearly cherished purposes. #aT"The destruction of Fort Lafayette by fire will not be regretted very much by the victims of Radical hatred and per secution who, during the war, were thrown into its noisome dungeons. On the part of "loyal" contractors its destruction will l>e hailed with delight, l>eeause they see in its rebuilding some nice little speculations. But then the country will not grumble, al beit the popalar pocket will suffer to the extent of a million or two.

LOTUS, Dec. 2. —The following offi- j rial report of the recent Indian battle has , been received; MLLITAUY HEALKJI ARTES, J INDIAN TERRITORY, N0v.29. ) To llreret Major (leneral .Ye hols, „!. A. C. Military l)i ris ion of the Missouri.— GENERAL :—I have the honor to report for the information of the Lieut. General ' the following operations of General Custar's command, tin November 23<1 I ordered him to proceed with eleven companies of his regiment and the Seventh cavalry in a southerly direction, toward the Antelope Hills, in search of hostile Indians. On the 26th he struck the trail of a war party of Black Kettle's band returning from the north, near where the eastern line of the Pan Handle of Texas crossed the main ] Canadian river. He at once corralled his 1 wagons and follow up in pursuit over to ! the head waters of the Washita, thence down that stream, and on the morning of the 27tli surprised the camp of Black Ket tle and. after a desperate fight, in which Black Kettle was assisted by the Arrapa- ' hoes ; under Little Haven, and the Kiowas, under Sautala, he ruptured the en tin; camp, killing the chief, Black kettle, and one hundred and two wawiers, whose bodies were left on the field, and also capturing their .stock, ammunition, arms, lodges, robes and liftv-three women and their children. Our loss was Major Elliot, Cap tain Hamilton and nineteen enlisted men killed. Brevet Lieutenant Colonel Bar nitz was badly wounded. Brevet Lieuten ant Colonel J. \V. Custer, Second Lieuten ant C. March, and eleven eulisted men were wounded. Little Haven's band of Arrapahoes and Santatas baud of Kiowas were encamped ' six miles below Black Kettle's camp. About eight or nine hundred of the ani mals captured were shot, the balance kept for military purposes. The highest credit is due to General Cus tar and his command. They started in a furious snow storm and traveled all the while in snow about twelve inches deep, Black Kettl's and Little Raven's fami lies are among the prisoners. It was Black Kettle's band who committed the first depridations on the Saline and Solo mon rivers, in Kansas. The Kansas regiment lias just come in. They missed the bail and had to struggle in the snow storm, the horses suffering much iu flesh and the men living on Buf falo meat and other game for eight days. We will soon have them in good condition. If we can get one or two more good blows there will be no more Indian trou bles in my department. We w ill be pinch ed in ability to supply, and nature will pre sent many difficulties in our winter opera tions, but we have stout hearts and will do our lest. Two white children were recaptured. One white woman and boy (ten years old.) were brutally murdered by the Indians when the attack commenced. Signed, P. H. SHERIDAN, Major General. A VERY GREAT MISTAKE. —A young man can hardly make a greater mistake than to place himself in antagonism to his employ er's business, by the too common error of trying how little service lie may render for the pay he receives. The matter of remun eration should have nothing whatever to do with the fidelity and efficiency of the servi ces rendered. It is a fatal error to presume that it is the policy of an employer to get the most lie can out of a clerk for the small est pay. There is no intelligent employer who does not know and act ujaui the knowledge that money is of very little con- sequence in comparison with integrity and ability ; and young man who does his whole duty in these essentials cannot fail to draw upon himself the attention and confidence of his employer. When these are secured the other desirable thing must follow. We would advise no young man to be un mindful of his own present interests, or to submit to indignities or injustice of any kind ; but we feel constrained to say that, in nine cases out of ten, where clerks imag ine they are not appreciated, or are unpaid, or overworked, and, from any such case, undertake to mend matters by making per emptory demands, they are In the wrong, and if they fail they only meet their just deserts. A little patience, a good deal of persever auce, and an undevinting fidelity to tlie best interests of an employer, are more po tent in securing advancement in position and pay than any other kind of self asser tion. These remarks will apply with equal force to those clerks or employees who are thoroughly conscious of having unappreci ativo, exacting, and even unjust employers; for Diogenes was never more earnest in his in his search for an honest man than are business men of the present day in quest of honest and capable clerks ; and these vir tues cannot exist inactive form without being found out by somebody who will ap preciate them, and be only too glad to pay forth them .-^-Exchange. £r&- The gold fields said to have been discovered near Ilhinebeck, Dutchess coun ty, New York, were recently examined by a party of engineers with satisfactory re sults. The evidence of the existence of gold is believed to be undeniable. The ore is described as & ferruginous quartz with the metal interspersed. The veins, it is claimed, are more extensive than those of North Carolina, and form a part of the au riferous deposits extending from Nova •Scotia to Georgia. The extensive outlay of capital required to work the gold mines of Georgia nud the Carolinas. it is highly probable, will also be demanded in New York. HESTER VAUGHAN'S CASE. The Philadelphia View of it. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 12, 18G8. To the Editor of the Wyoming Democrat, SIB :—ln the Democrat of the 9th, inst., I have read nearly a column of extracts from the New York World commenting very severely on the action of the people of this City, in the case of Hester Yaughau. To show you, and the numerous readers of your widely circulated paper, the injustice of these comments, I enclose you a full statement of thi f case, taken from the Eve ning Bulletin of December sth, also an edi torial of the Daily . \ye of the same date, which, 1 very respectfully request, you will publish,—if not the whole of said arti cles, at least so much of them, as vindicate the fair name of this "City of Brotherly Love." 1 especially ask. that you will pub lish the reply of Gov. Geary to the Com mittee of N. Y. ladies, who waited on him. The conduct of the N. Y. World in lending its columns to the publishing of a slander on the inhabitants of a sister City, for the purpose of political effect,' has surprised and grieved its many readers in this City. As the A'je truly remarked, "all that hu manity demanded, and perhaps more, had been quietly done in the case here, before our N. Y. friends saw their opportunity for a 'grand flourish." Very Respectfully, G. B. M. ( From the Philadelphia Age of Dee sth. ) We really thought that the New York (tapers had exhausted this subject, but they 1 are still engrossed with it, and the Press of 1 this eity now takes up their strain. It is | utterly unjust, so far as it assumes or iu : sinuates tnat the woman was not fairly, pa tiently, and justly dealt with by the Phila delphia Court. Judges Ludlow and Brew- I ster sat together at their term, and Mr. ! John Goforth defended the prisoner, ably and faithfully, and with a persistency, that elicited*the approbation of the Court. Of course, all the matter now abdueed by the Press and other papers was wholly irrele vant to the question at issue, which was the alleged murder of the infant by the woman indicted for it. The prior misfor tunes of the accused, her desertion by her husband, and by his successor, the father 1 of the child, could not be even given in evi j deuce. They were, as we have said, wholly i irrelevant. The legal evidence in the case, 1 in our judgment, heavily preponderated on | the side of the woman's guilt. Such evi- I donee would be irresistible in a civil case, and would ensure conviction from most juries in criminal cases, in which the hu manity of the law requires not merely a preponderance, but an exclusion of rea | sonable doubt, by the evidence. But in 1 the appeal for Executive clemency, the age i sex, and circumstances of the unhappy ! woman, may all lie properly considered.— Nay, we are willing, as we have said before that the Governor shall concede more weight than the jury did to the hypothesis that the child's skuil may have been crush ed, in the manner described in the testi mony, without a willful malicious intent 'on the part of the mother. We perhaps ! thus yield too much to natural and local feeling : for we assure the ladies of New i York, who sat in harsh judgment on our 1 city and Stab", that they know very little ! of the sentiment that predominates, in such i cases, at least in this community. We ad -1 | mit that if the prisoner had been a negro woman, there are those among us who ; would have taken a more noisy interest in I her ; still, to be a woman is enough. We have not been in the Governor's confidence hut we assure our New York friends that his long delay in issuing the death warrant 1 | was perfectly .well understood here. In ' the case of Bridget Moran, who threw her • child into the river, governor after govern • or -dipped out of office, without giving his signature to the fatal order, though they I were as much embarrassed about signing a • i pardon, for our law requires a governor to > i set the reasons for the pardon upon the ! face of the instrument, and "consideration of the fair sex," where that is the sole rea son, has an odd look in an official docu ' ruent. Yet, that is our weakness. No - i woman was ever •hung in this vicinity for . | murder ; nowhere is there more liberal al lowance accorded to the gentler sex. In • heinous cases, we hang a man in their stead, to satisfy the ends of justice. Thus we I hung Lieutenant Smith, who married Mrs. . ! Carson, and, at her instigation, it was un | I charitably said, shot her first husband.— We hung Mr. Minn for poisoning Mr. Chap i ! man. but their spouse, Mrs. Chapman Mi -1 na, was acquitted. Indeed, the hulies do | run here the fancied risk which made them clamor at the New York meeting for the | right to elect the Sheriff who was to hang them, Ac.; for the Woman's Bights Asso , eiation there RESOLVED : ! That this Association demand that in all , civil awl criminal cases, woman shall be tried I la/ a jury of her peers ; shall hare a voice in \ making the lairs, in electing the Judge trho j pronounces her sentence, and the Sheriff mho, l in case of execution, performs for her that j last dread office. If to be hung is one of their "rights," it |is one that womah will not easily obtain i here, and there is, indeed, no great readi i ness to concede it to her anywhere in this . : country. Only a military tribunal has ! courage enough to chain, handcuff, and hang a woman, and the daring of that act ! was enhanced by the fast that the woman ! was innocent. The probability is that the heroine of the New York papers is guilty, | but there is just room for us to cherish a ! doubt, and she is a woman, we are well j content that the Governor shall, after the ' approved fashion, "withhold his signiture," or pardon her outright, That he would do so has been so perfectly well understood here, that it has given an artificial,facti tious air to the New York excitement.— jlt seemed here as if Hester Yauglian was i conveniently affording a chance for wo- I man's rights meetings and sensational ar | tides, upon a bald pretence of actual and | apprehended severity to a woman who had already received the full measure of merei ! ful consideration which, be it right or i wrong, their sex always assures to such of i fenders. All that humanity demanded,, j and perhaps more, had been quietly done lin the case here, before our New York j friend* saw their opportunity for a "grand | flourish." COLE ACQUITTED. —Gen. George W. Cole, who was tried the second time at Albany, New York, last week, for the murder of L. H. Hiscock, for the alleged seduction of 1 Cole's wife, was acquitted on Monday.— i The jury came into Court on Monday morning, when the foreman stated that they found the prisoner to l>e sane at the" moment before and the moment after the lulling ; but they were in doubt as to his sanity on the instant of the homicide.— The Judge said they must give the prison er the benefit of the doubt, and thus in ( structed they rendered a verdict of acquit tal. J Doings in Congress. The Fortieth Congress commenced its last session on Monday, the 7th inst., and from the following synopsis of the first day's proceedings, it will be seen that it went to work, jh'll mell, without order or system. The negro,occupying the first place in consideration. In the Senate the new members present were Haines and Kellogg, of Louisiana ; Rice, of Arkansas ; Robertson, of South Carolina; and SfK-ucer, of Alabama. The usual committees to wait upon the Presi dent and the House were appointed. The credentials of Mr. Hill, of Georgia, were presented, but Mr. Drake moved to refer them to the Judiciary Committee, as the State of Georgia was in rebel hands. A debate ensued and the credentials were finally laid on the table. Mr. Sumner in troduced a bill to establish negro sufirage in all the States, which, on his motion, was laid on the table and ordered to be printed. Mr. Sumner also introduced bills provid ing for a return to specie payments on the 4th of July, 1869, and for cheap ocean pos tage, and a resolution congratulating the people of Spain on the overthrow of their ancient royalty. Kills and resolutions amending the naturalizations laws, pro posing constitutional amendments relative to universal .suffrage, providing for the is sue of arms to the militia in States lately in rebellion, and relative to vacancies in grades iu general, lieutenant-general, ad miral, and vice admiral were introduced and the Senate adjourned. In the House 161 members answered to their names. A bill was introduced by Mr. Bontwell, providing for universal suf frage in all the Stales, and two resolutions for an amendmcntof the constitution to the same effect were introduced by Messrs. Kelley and Broomal. A resolution of cen sure against Reverdy Johnson, Minister to England, and requesting the President to order his immediate recall, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs by a vote of 94 to 41. A resolution, appropriating S5(),00(1 to reimburse President Johnson for his expenses in the impeachment trial was laid on the table. A resolution look ing to amendments in the naturalization laws was adopted after a strict party vote of 32 democrats to 125 republicans. Mr. Robinson, of New York, offered a resolu tion, calling for correspondence on the subject of American citizens imprisoned in Ireland, but as a motion to refer prevented him from making a few remarks in reply to Lord Stanley, as he wished, he with drew the resolution. 'The House then ad journed.—E.r. Report of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Mr. Rollins, the Commissioner of Inter- I nal Revenue, sent his annual report to j Congress on Monday. From it we learn 1 that in the fiscal year, ending June 30, i 1808, the sum of one hundred and ninety- I one million dollar? was collected from In | termd revenue, the expense of collecting j which was five per cent. The heavy items ;in this account arc the taxes paid on the ' indulgence of popular appetite. The amount received, for instance from the tax jon chewing and smoking tobacco was, in round numbers, fifteen million dollars.— j All the railroads paid together less than j seven millions, the insurances companies less than two millions, and the telegraph j and expres. companies not a million be ! tweou them, so that chewing and smoking I tobacco—our small Gees, as they are call j ed —are really "bigger tilings" in the Com- I missioner's report than all the railroads, i telegraphs or express and insurance com -1 panics in the United States taken together, i The number of cigars taxed was six hun i dred millions. The tax on distilled spirits ; and brandy netted fifteen millions, and I other liquors run the total of the figure on i stimulants to fully twenty miliums. It is | estimated by the Commissioner that the | income from internal revenue for the next ! fiscal year will reach one hundred olid for ty-five million dollars. Some important recommendations are made in the report— among them one urging the erection of this portion of the Treasury Department , into u department of itseif. REPORT OF THE POSTMASTER GENERAL.— Postmaster General Randall also presented his report to Congress, on the first day of The session. From it we learn that the oriliuary revenue of this department, for the year ending, June 30, 1868, slightly exceeded sixteen and a quarter millions of dollars, thus leaving a deficiency of over ! six millions. Congressional appropriations | however, to reduce these figures to a defi ! ci'ffiey of not quite three quarters of a mil ! lion of dollars, if it even does not do away ■ with the admitted fact that the expenses of ! the Post Office Department arc about one I dollar and forty cents to every dollar rc j ceived. Mr. Randall does not believe that , the postal service can or should be made | self-sustaining for fifty years to come.— I He estimates that ten years hence the ex- Lpenses will he forty millions and the re ' coipts only thirty millions, but he express | es the faith that when the country is fully j developed there will be no deficiencies for j Congress to supply. A Kentucky schoolmaster fell in love with one of his pupils in 1860, and married her, although she was only thir teen. As he used to scold her like a child she was, she went hack to her mother and Ihe roamed off elsewhere. After a while each was informed of the other's death, and ! each preceded to marry again. The girl's second choice, very kindly, died in a year l or so, as did the schoolmaster's, when he married a third time only to be divorced.-* About two weeks ago, this much married i pair met by chance, joined their fortunes again, and as the girl has arrived at years of discretion, they expect to be happy.
