APPOINTMENT BY THE GOVERNOR
Aaron K. Peckham, of Wyoming county, has
been appointed President Judge of the 26th Ju
dicial District, in place of Hon. George W.
Woodward, who was elected Judge of the Berks
County District. Judge Peckham's commission
will extend over the period of one year, and his
appointment was unanimously urged by the
bars of Columbia, Sullivan and Wyoming
counties.
TIM UNION .MEN OF EAST TENNESSEE.
According to admissions from Memphis pa
pers, and they will hardly acknowledge more
than the truth, Parson Brownlow, at the head
of 3,000 loyal East Tennesseeans, has gained a
decided victory over the rebels on the Georgia
railroad, so that the Union forces now hold
possession of the road.
This news must be extremely gratifying to
the people of the north, and should be an in
centive to the Government to push forward re
inforcements as soon as possible. If relief is
not granted soon, the gallant little band of pa
triots must succomb to the rebel forces, a sacri
fice which patriotism and humanity demand
should be averted.
Let us have an army in Tennessee within a
week. Indian summer will soon be over, and
the difficulties which will surround us, on the
approach of winter, will be almost insurmounta
ble. Now is the accepted time to move. Let
Tennessee, not Kentucky, be made the theater
of war.
The seizure of the Georgia railroad, and its
occupation by our troops, at Knoxville and other
points, would strip the rebellion of half of its
power—half of its resources. Shall the blow
be struck ? Or shall we, by inaction, permit
our antagonists to fortify every pass, and plant
cannon on every eminence ? Do not urge that
we are now too weak to advance. Our enemy,
acting on the defensive, will gather strength
more rapidly than we.
The great difficulty has heretofore been, that
we have waited too long. We have never yet
been defeated, in sudden, rapid movements, in
new fields. Reverses have always succeeded
cautious campaigns.
ABKANses.—Within a week past, says the
St. Louis Republican, a member of the present
Legislature of Arkansas has arrived at Rolla,
with forty other citizens of that State—thirty
five of: whom, with the representative referred
to, have joined Col. Phelps' regiment of Mis
souri troops. These parties state that in the
northern section of Arkansas loyalty still pre
vails, and that love of the old flag—the emblem
of a united country—yet glows and burns in
thousands of patriotic breasts. It is notmerely
a silent allegiance that could be found in the
section whence these men come, for they say
that with efforts properly directed, our people
would be astonished at the number of soldiers
that could be raised there to fight in behalf of
the Union. This gratifying intelligence is con
firmed by representations we have received from
other sources with regard to the feeling in north
ern Arkansas, and it is well to bear these re
ports in mind in connection with any consider
ation•of the rebellion in that state.
KEITIICRY PAPERS ON THE PRESIDENT'S MES-
L&GE.—The Louisville Journal unqualifiedly
condemns the message of the President ; the
,Democrat affects not to understand it, but says
if it means confiscation and re-sale of the slaves
it is against it ; the Frankfort Commonwealth
comes out square for the President's recom
mendation.
TIM FUTURE OF THE SOUTH.
Some of our Missouri exchanges are exceed
ingly doleful on the effects which the rebellion
will have on the peculiar institutions of the
south, while the St. Louis Democrat estimates
that the efforts of the rebels to vindicate and
sustain slavery in its proportions and increase it
in numbers, has already diminished the slave
population in that state from ninety thousand
to at most fifty thousand. At least twenty-five
thousand slaves have been removed south, and
fifteen thousand is a moderate number to apply
to those who have escaped from servitude. In
Virginia the decrease must be far greater.—
Western Virginia, erected into a distinct State,
seriously contemplates the initiation of a sys
tem of gradual emancipation. Slavery is fading
from Maryland. Multitudes of blacks are week
ly moving southward from Kentucky, and
crowds are escaping northward. Each border
state must inevitably suffer immense loss to the
very interest for which treason to a free govern
ment is fighting. In an entire tier of the states
from Delaware to Missouri, slavery has suffered
and is still experiencing the severest shock in
its history: The price of the slave is nearly
nominal, and in many districts the property is
an incumbrance. In others it is still worse—a
terror. John Randolph predicted that the time
would come when, instead of slaves running
away from their masters, the latter would be
running away from their slaves. In certain in
stances the prophecy has been verified, and the
prevalent and growing fear is, that these in
stances will be indefinitely multiplied. What
ever other horrors accompany or follow the war
it is trusted that those of a servile rebellion wil
not be inflicted.
In South Carolina, where the slave population
is densest, the landing of the federal forces has
relieved thousands of them from the control of
their masters. Both in that state and North
Carolina it is finally shown that the bondsmen
will not fight for their proprietors, but will take
the first favorable opportunity to leave them
and labor against them. The same results will
follow the march of our armies elsewhere in the
cotton states. How bitter were South Carolina's
complaints of the wrongs endured by "the do
mestic institution" in the Union. How much
better off is "the institution" now ?
While the " wrongs of the south," if wrong
they were, were almost exclusively experienced
by the border states, and while these have been
reluctantly dragged into the war by the states
that had no "wrongs," upon the former has
fallen nearly the whole weight of the vast loss
in slaves, as well as of the immediate horrors of
the conflict. Missouri and Kentucky had lost
more slave property by "the underground rail
road" than all the cotton states together, yet
these have actually invaded them, and are de
vastating them with war, by way of forcing
them to redress their own grievances! Not in
ten centuries would the Union have begun to
inflict so disastrous a blow upon slavery in the
border states, as the traitor confederacy has
done within the last seven months. The rebel
lion is yet likely, however, to recoil the heavier
upon the "peculiar institution" in the guiltier
states. As long as the war rages, the rapid dim
inution of slaves goes on. Their depreciation
in value increases. Their facilities for escape
multiply. Their removal southward from the
border states progresses. Their crude informa
tion, aspirations and discontent, and the peril
of servile insurrection are augmented. The
longer the war, the worse for slavery ; and the
rebel leaders are telling their people to prepare
for a long war.
The Confederacy has not a flattering prospect
for the capture of Washington, the acquisition
of Maryland, or the conquest of Western Vir
ginia. Yet any comparative triumph of the
rebels, that should fail to achieve these, would
involve the loss of Virginia. The Federal power
would fight indefinitely, though no other ques
tion remained, for Missouri. Whatever the
other results of the war, the three States named
will abide in the Union, remain open for the
settlement of free laborers and soon become free
States. The experience of this war will prove
to have converted the masses of the people in
the border states and thousands in the cotton
states into haters of slavery. Already the re
bellion has virtually secured the speedy extinct
ion of that system in the whole tier of states.—
The failure of the rebellion, is actually the best
hope of slavery in the cotton states. The insti
tution has been placed in the extreme of peril
by its champions, and its salvation must come,
if at all, from the preservation of the Union.—
The success of the confederacy would relieve the
free states from further obligation to return fu
gitives, and would insure the safe flight of
every bondsman who would cross the border.—
It would denude slavery of the shield of
American power, which alone has secured
it from the open hostility of foreign nations,
and enabled it to make peaceful acquisi
tions of new territory. In the power of
the free states slavery would find an in
veterate enemy, where, in amicable uniform
with them, it is guaranteed the protection of
commanding armies and navies. The civilized
nations would unite to form against the exten
sion of the curse the league they have made
against the slave trade. The very limitation
to avert which the war was waged, would be
enforced by allied powers. If the sole slave
holding nation on the face of the globe could
not otherwise be made to keep the peace, the
world would join in relieving her from the in
cubus that alone oppressed her energies and
blighted her prosperity.
The triumphing Union will deal far kindlier
with the South. Shielding her from foes with
out and her peculiar peril within, it will enable
here as gradually as wisdom woull dictate to
adapt herself to the civilization and share in
the glorious progress of the age. She is thus
to be twice rescued—first from the threatened
fate to which her deceivers would participate
her, and ultimately from the baneful cause of
her misfortunes. That golden bribe with which
the cotton monopoly has betrayed her to the
verge of ruin, is about being withdrawn, per
mitting self-interest once more to add its plea
to reason, the warnings of the country's fath
ers, and the remonstrances of mankind. All
these will at last be heeded, and United
America redeemed from the sole foe to her
peace and greatness.
pennopluartia Maiiv Oretegrapt). euestrav Ititerttoon, thrember 10. 1861,
Report of the Secretary of the
Treasury.
The report of the Secretary of the Treasury,
in a printed form, was issued yesterday. It oc
cupies twenty-two large pages, and is distin
guished by that ability which has characterized
all the transactions of the Treasury Department
since it has been under the control of Mr.
Chase.
The report sets out by reaffirming the general
principles by which the administration of the
public finances should be regulated, with a view
to insure the desirable results of efficiency, econ
omy and general prosperity, which the Secretary
set forth in his report to Congress on the 4th
day of July last. He then refers to the esti
mates made by him at that time in order to
raise the necessary means to suppress the gigan
tic rebellion set on foot by criminal conspiracy
against the government and the people of the
United States, which he placed at $3lB, 519,-
581.87.
Congress made the necessary provision to raise
the sum required for the object; and the Secre
tary proceeds to give an account of the execu
tion and practical operation of the measures
adopted. The result is shown in the following
recapitulation:
There were paid to creditors, or
exchanged for coin at par, at
different dates in July and Au
gust, six per cent, two years'
notes, to the amount of $14,019,034 66
There was borrowed, at par, in
the same months, upon sixty
days' six per cent. notes, the
sum of
There was borrowed, at par, on
the 19th of August, upon three
years' 7.80 bonds, issued for
the most part to subscribers to
the National Loan
There was borrowed, on the Ist
of October, upon like securi
ties
There was borrowed, at par for
seven per cent., on the 10th of
November, upon twenty years'
sixper cent. bonds, reduced to
the equivalent of seven, in
cluding interest
There have been issued and were
in circulation and on deposit
with the Treasurer,on the 30th
of November, of United States
notes, payable on. demand
Making
an aggregate, real
ized from loans in vari
ous forms, of 197,242,588 10
While success thus complete has so far at
tended the measures relating to loans, the Sec
retary regrets to say that the receipts of revenue
from duties have not, as yet, fulfilled the expec
tations indulged in at the date of his July re
port. At the date of his report, he estimated a
revenue from customs at $57,000,000, but,
owing to dimished duties on tea, coffee and
sugar, the exemption of goods in warehouse and
on shipboard, and the changed circumstances of
the country, which have proved unfavorable to
foreign commerce, he reduces this estimate to
$32,198,602 55, founded on the actual receipts
for the first quarter ending on the 30th of Sep
tember, which were $7,198,602 55. Even with
this reduction, though large, the Secretary
would not be compelled to ask any additional
power to negotiate loans, had the appropriations
and expenditures been confined to the estimates;
but these have been largely increased by the
great number of volunteers accepted by the
War Department, and further appropriations
will therefore become necessary.
The Secretary, in suggesting measures to pro-
vide these additional appropriations, recom
mends retrenchment and reform, the prevention
of abuses, and renews the suggestion heretofore
made by him, that the property of rebels should
be made to pay, in part at least, thecost of re
bellion. While recommending that the pro
perty held by rebels in both the loyal and rebel
States should be confiscated for the use of the
government, he says:
"Rights to services, under State laws, must,
of necessity, form an exception to any rule of
confiscation. Persons held by rebels, under
such laws, to service as slaves, may, however,
be justly liberated from their constraint, and
made more valuable in their employments,
through voluntary and compensated service,
than if confiscated as Subjects of property."
In order to provide additional means of rais
ing revenue, the Secretary recommends that
the duties on tea, coffee and sugar be increased
to the rate heretofore proposed, namely : two
and a half cents on brown sugar, three cents on
clayed sugar, twenty cents per pound on coffee ;
and that no further alterations of the tariff be
made during the present session, unless farther
experience or changed circumstances shall de
monstrate the necessity or expediency of them.
The Secretary then refers to the law imposing
a direct tax, and says it will be necessary to so
increase it as to produce from the loyal Siates
alone a revenue of twenty millions of dollars,
and to lay such duties on still and distilled e
liquors, on tobacco, on bank notes, or carriages
on legacies, on paper evidences of debt and in
struments for conveyance of property, and
other like subjects of taxation, as will produce
an equal additional sum. The existing provi
sion for an income tax, just in its principle, in
asmuch as it requires largest contributions from
largest means, may, possible, and if somewhat
modified will, probably, produce ten millions of
dollars more. The aggregate taxation will thus
amount to fifty millions of dollars.
The Secretary also recommends that Congress
should adopt some measures to control the
credit circulation which enters so largely into
the transactions of commerce, and proposes to
do this by the gradual withdrawal from circula
tion of the notes of private corporations, and
for the issue, in their stead, of United States
notes payable in coin on demand ; or the pre
paration and delivery to institutions and asso
ciations of notes prepared for circulation under
the national direction, to be secured by the
pledge of United States bonds. These sugges
tion are so important that we must reserve fur
ther reference to them until we. can publish
them in full.
The Secretary entertains the hope, and gives
it as his judgment, not without sufficient
grounds that the present war may be brought
to an auspicious termination before midsummer.
It is well, however, to be prepared for all even
tualities, and he therefore makes an estimate of
the several departments for the fiscal year 1863,
based on the supposed continuance of the war,
placincr ° the amount needed at $475,331,255 51,
and the receipts from all sources at $85,8000,-
000, leaving a balance to be provided for of
$379,531,245 51.
The whole amount required from loans for
1862 and 1863, is stated in round numbers at
$654, 980, 921.51.
_ _
The Secretary refers to other topics connected
with the administration of the Treasury Depart
ment, which he treats in a very clear and com
prehensive manner. The document is one that
will be read with great interest by all classes.

The House concurred in the resolution from
the Senate for a joint committee to enquire into

Mr. PENDLETON (Ohio,) moved that the mem
orials of Howard Gatchell and Davis be referred
back to the Committee on the Judiciary with
instructions declaring that Congress alone had
power under the Constitution to suspend
the privilege of the writ of hoboes corpus, that
the exercise of that power by any other depart
ment of the government is a usurpation and
dangerous to public liberty ; that the per
sons above named be delivered to the Mar
shal to the end that they may be indicted
with the right of speedy trial, if there
be probable cause for such proceedings. He
spoke at length on this subject, saying that
those gentlemen were members of the board of
police for the city of Baltimore, and on the Ist of
July last, at the dead hour of night were arrest
ed by order of the military authorities and with
out charges being preferred against them were
conveyed as prisoners to Fort McHenry. They
ask that Congress may examine into the ques
tion, and that they may be heard before a judi
cial tribunal, and yet his (Mr. Pendleton's) col
leagues in the Committee on the Judiciary,
could find no more fitting response to the me
morial than that it should lie unanswered on
the table. The question here presented was as
to the legality of their present punishment,
which he denied. The meanest criminal even is
within the reach of the application of the writ
of habeas corpus. This right has never been de
nied by any Executive until now.
Mr. PENDLETON said-in the course of his argu
ment that when the constitution was framed
there was no principle more incontrovertible
than that parliament alone could suspend the
writ of habeas corpus. The revolution was a
protest against usurpation and it could not be be
lieved that our forefathers who had so earnestly
engaged in securing personal liberty would
contract the bounds of freedom and enlarge the
bounds of executive power. If the President
can suspend one provision of the constitution
he can suspend them all and reduce this nation
to the condition of slaves by changing the theo
ry of the government. Any nation willing to
adopt this theory is so lost to a manly sense of
independence and dignity, and to a just
consciousness of their courage and duty of
defending the government that the yoke is
a fit emblem and a just token of their degra
dation. If this theory shall be endorsed,
the precedent will give authority in the
future to ambitious men, until public
virtue will be destroyed, the national
character tarnished and love of liberty
