THE END OF THE YEAR
The year 1861 ends today. Hereafter it will
be regarded as more eventful than any of its
predecessor's in time -as more prolific in events
than the century of which it forms a part, from
the fact that within cycle the most desperate
and diabolical rebellion was organized and armed
that ever essayed the usurpation of the power of
anygovernment or the destruction of any nation.
The spectacle presented both by those who bat
tle for and those who struggle against the con
stituted authority of this government, waa
never equalled in any land, modern or ancient.
The rebellions of Europe, which at times spread
desolation through Irel and , drenched France with
blood, held Poland in quivering fear, or aroused
the energies of the Hungarian or stimulated the'
enthusiasm of the Italian, were of short dura
tion and insignificant force when compared to the
stupendous array of power in the struggle for
the destruction and the preservation of the only
free government in the worlds- Estimating the
forces of the government at 600,000 men now
in the field, we can safely add to that 160,000
more men daily being recruited—and then add
to this at least 400,000 rebels, with the strag
gling recruits at 60,000, and we have an army
in the aggregate of one mil/ion one hundred thou
sand American citizens in the field—brought out,
organized in less than one year,
and now arrayed in deadly hostility, under the
lead of the youngest end beat officers in the
world. No other land in the world is capable of
such a display. A rebellion in France is gener
ally confined to a street fight in Paris—a revo
lution in Hungary expends itself in a skirmish
among the mountains—a battle in Italy is
equal to a game of hide and seek among the
rooks of the Alps—and thus revolution and re
bellion in Europe, which history dignifies and
song enobles, seem like the mere pastime of the
impulsive masses, when compared to the gigan
tic demonstrations of the year 1861 on the con
tinent of America. These events and these
demonstrations will afford themes for the his
torian during centuries to come. The Parthean
becomes amyth in comparison ; the divinities of
other nations are lost in the grandeur of that
moral fonie which gives impulse to our own, and
even while in the spectacle thus presented by the
events of the year, there is sadness and mad
ness, - antagonism and antipathy, there is a
warning in the forces thus displayed, which the
tyn,ulis .of ; Europe should ponder, and then
:
before they seek an interference in the
quarrel thus temporarily dividing these states.
Tits influence of the rebellion at the south,
has had another effect during the year which
closes to-day, besides this array of force. It ,
will create the necessity of an economy which
cannot but raga beneficially to all classes.
While the money required to defray the ex
penses of the operations necessary to curb the
passions of treason will amount in the aggre
gate to an enormous sum, those operations have ,
already aroused the energes of • the American
people to the exploration of new paths of
triumph in science and mechanism, so that by
the time we have succeeded in restoring peace
to the country, we will also have accomplish
ed a perfection of what wo were ignorant a
year since, and developed many powers whieh
will guard and protect the peace of the nation
for years tb come. In the end, the cause of
the rebellion can be made to pay the expense of
the operations necessary for its arrest. The
many subterfuges which the rebels use to justi
fy their conduct, will some day become argu
ments for their condemnation, so that in the
end, the men who became traitors that slavery
might prevail, will become the merest depen
dents on the will and the power of that liberty
Which they sought thus to destroy.
We must, therefore; suffer the year, so full of
mighty impulses and stirring events, to pass with-
out any *tit. If we regret that liberty has been
assailed, we intustrejoice that we have the power
for its defence. And while thus rejoicing, in
the majesty of our military power and prowess, we
must not forget that we are dependent on Him
to whom one day i s like unto a thousand years,
and a thousand years as one day.
HON. THADDKUS STRUMS has introduced a bill
into Congress to abolish certain porte of entry
along the southern coast, in order to relieve the
government of the necessity and expense of the
blockade. It would also give us a vast fleet to
protect our commerce against the insults of the
world and the piracy of the rebels. Its consid
eration was postponed until the 2d Tuesday of
February.

ton, who now declare their conviction that the
continental ,governments of Europe will not
suffer -England to hunt• for pretexts to engage
the Thiited States'in a war. We shall see how
far this interference fd fruStrate English rapacity,'
will go in its alliance with this government..
RUINATION OF SOUTHERN PLANTERS.
The Washington Republican says that a state
ment has recently been going the rounds of the
press, that "a majority of the sugar planters of
Louisiana are Union man at heart." We have
never heard before that these gentlemen had
any "hearts," and are still somewhat incredu
lous as to the fact We know, however, that
they bad pockets, and have doubted that suffi
cient pinching in that quarter would incline
them once more to "keep step to the music of
the Union." No class of men in this country
has been more pampered by national legislation,
and it was in truth principally because they had
waxed fat under good treatment, that they
kicked against their benefactors. They are
now getting lean again ; and if they kick at all
it is without vigor. It may even be true that
a majority of them are now "Union men." If
not, they soon will be.
Sugar, which lies in hogsheads for miles on
the levees of New Orleans, is quoted at from
one and a half to two and a half cents per
pound, and this in the same currency in which
the planters pay one dollar per bushel for Indi
an corn, and forty-five dollars Or barrel for
mess pork.
The people in Secessia are divided into blacks,
who never use sugar, and whites, very few of
whom have now any money wherewith to pay
for sugar. Nor do the troubles of the sugar
planters end here. The lower Mississippi and
its tributaries are open to them, but their coast
wise transportation is cut off by blockade. It
costs them fourteen dollars to get a hogshead of
sugar to Mobile by railroad, the Mississippi
Sound being closed. It is as bad on the Texas
side. They can raise sugar, but with their mar
kets cut off by blockade, or impoverishment,
and only enabled by credit to keep tifeir slaves
from starving, it is not wonderful that their
"hearts" are touched with yearnings for the
fleshpots of the old Union.
What is true of the sugar planters, is true of
the entire agricultural interest of the south.
Cotton, in the small quantities in which it can
be sold at all to southern manufacturers, sells
for six or eight cents per pound. Tobacco finds
scarcely any market. Virginia wheat is sold
for ninety cents per bushel in Confederate mo
ney, and cannot be reproduced for twice that
sum, at the scale of prices which farmers are
obliged to pay for what they must buy. So
well is this understood that the all-sowing of
wheat is reported to have fallen off one-third in
Virginia.
In the existing condition of things at the
South, the entire slave property pays no income,
and has no other value than one which is specu
lative and prospective.
In free countries, stagnation in business fails
partly upon the laborer, who meets diminished
wages with increased economy. At the south
it falls wholly upon the capitalist, and as he
never furnishes the laborer more than a bare
subsistence, there is no margin for economy.—
If the half a pound of pork per day, and they
peck of corn per week, is cut off from the slave
the alternative is starvation or insurrection for
"breeed or /deed."
THE BANK SUSPENSION.
The telegraph announced the fact yes
terday and this morning, that the banks in the,
commercial cities, had concluded to.suspend specie
payment, in consequence of a run made on them
during the suspense attending a settlement of
our difficulties with Great Britain. One of the
means of crippling the government on which
the southern rebel and his English sympathisers
depended, was the drainage of all the banks in
the loyal states of their gold and silver deposits.
These deposits, during the past year, were im
mense, and at one time many of the banks of
New York and Philadelphia actually refused to
receive gold or silver, the amount they then
had on hand being more unwieldy than with
which they cared to be burdened. Since then
the banks in question have discovered a regu
larly organized plan by which the country was'
to be robbed of its metalic wealth, and thus de
stroyed in its material interests and enterprises.
To counteract these plans suspension became
imperative, and hence its adoption by the
banks of the larger cities. Of course every
business man understands the necessity of the
decision, and the practical effect it will have on
the securities of the country. 'lt will prevent
foreigners and rebels from carrying hence the
gold and silver of the country, preserve the
solvency of the banks, and frustrate a well con
cocted plan to destroy the national credit.
It is not supposed that this suspension will
last long, or that while it does last, that it will
affect the facilities of business very seriously.—
The people are willing to suffer a little inconve
nience rather than suffer the finances of the
country to be utterly destroyed, and therefore
this bank suspension will be approved as having
been made necessary by a high regard for the
protection and prosperity of business.
BANQUET TO GOVERNOR CURTIN
Governor Curtin has been in Washington
city for several days, laboring very hard to se
cure the defence of our Lake Shore boundaries,
our rivers and harbors, and in every way promote
the interests of the state and the welfare and
efficiency of those of our citizens who are abroad
in arms for the defence of the Union. During
his sojourn in the federal capital, we learn with
pleasure, that not only has Gov. Curtin been
eminently successful in his official mission, but
he has won a personal reception and wekorne
which reflect as mush credit to the state at large
as it redounds individually to his honor
and reputation as a man. Laat evening,
Governor Curtin was entertained in the most
hospitable manner by Secretary Cameron
at his private residence. The repast and the
company were of the most sumptuous and most
distinguished description, numbering among its
guests President Lincoln,Secretaries Chase,Blair,
and Seward ; Senators Chandler, Wade, and
Sumner ; Speaker Grow, Adj. Gen. Thomas, and
Gen. McCall. The presence of the President
was an honor never before afforded to any of
the banquets of the Secretaries, the etiquette of
Waahington forbiding the Chief Magiatrate from
dining with his Cabinet officers, but in this in
stance, President Lincoln desired to do the gal-
hint and devoted men of Pennsylvania an honor
through his Secretary of War,tuid our Governer.
In the name of, the People,

The steamer Bohemian arrived on the 17th
instant.
The message of President Lincoln claimed
great attention, notwithstanding that the pub
lic feeling was deeply engrossed with the death
of Prince Albert.
the silence of the President's message on the
Trent affair, was the subject of much conjecture
and comment. It was generally regarded as a
loop-hole for escape, and gave rise to some
hopes of peace, although the general coustruc
ti•en was warlike.
The London 21mes says that nothing can be
more ungracious than the President's treatment
of tke foreign powers for their forbearance. A
gracious and courteous acknowledgment wan
due.
The Times also devotes an article to the report
of the Secretary of the Navy, which it treats
with ridicule, and denounces as an unparalleled
crime the project of blocking up ports by sunk
en vessels.
The fast treats the message as undeniably
warlike, and, although remarking on the taeuce
relative to the Trent affair, says it was scarcely
within the otdinary scope of a message. It also
charges the President with ingratitude in deal
ing with the maritime powers. The same
article says that the despatch to Lord Lyons
was simple and final. It is au ultimatum in
itself.
The Daily News considers the silence on the
Trent affair an indication of prudence and cau•
Lion and favorable to peace. It is pleased to
believe that the President desired to hold him
self free to speak at an appropriate time. It
nevertheless complains of the President's reti
cence and of the little credit he gives to foreign
governments.
The Star justifies the silence relative to the
Trent affair, and praises the clearness, force and
ability of the message.
The herald takes quite a contrary view, and
fears that peace is almost hopeless.

A rumor was current at Paris yesterday, that
the French governmenthad sent a note to Rus

They were brought to head quarters. They

the York river, and that Gea. Wool will co
operate in an attack upon •Yorktown.
Gen. Magruder is said to have telegraphed
the condition of affairs to Richmond and asked
permission to destroy Yorktown by fire, and has
received a reply directing him to refrain until
he is certain that the place is to be immediately

Won:
Col. Jackson, of the 9th Pennsylvania regi
ment, lilt his negro servant in charge of his
horse while he advanced toward the enemy.
Seeing two rebels who had discharged their
muskets approaching him, the boy drew his
carbine and threatened to shoot them if they
did not surrender at once. This they did, and
marched before him to the camp.
The act of the negro was clearly a violation
of the Constitution according to the "conserva
tive" pros. What right had that nigger to
have a carbine and threaten to shoot white
rebels ? How dare he take prisoners ? We ex
pect to see the "conservative" ?lines and Jour
nal demand that this shooting darkey shall be
driven from our lines for infracting the Con
stitution. Negroes must only be allowed to
fight on the side of the rebels and shoot Union
soldiers. The country would go to eternal
smash if they were employed to shoot rebels.

Tennessee Legislature.
The Nashville Banner indulges in the follow
ing bit of irony in reference to the Tennessee
Legislature ;
"The Legislature has really agreed to ad
journ on the 28d of this month. Aa much as
this patriotic resolution gratifies us, it is due to
cand"r to state that we scan e expected it. We
still think that some of the patriotic members
of that body must have sacrificed themselves or
been immolated thereby upon the altar of their
country.
If such there be, it would be a good idea for
some philanthropic Individual, who does not
care much for his record, and expects to stay at
home the balance of his life any way, to move
a reconsideration of the vote of adjournment ;
or cannot some miscellaneous lover of mankind
manage to get up a sensation or a 'little more
important business,' to keep our General As
sembly with us a while longer, and cost the
State a few thousand dollars extra? Our fi
nances are so flush just now that we can afford
a little margin to legislative extravagancies.
Signe of Rebellion
We regret to say that considerable evidence
of disloyalty to the Confederate government
has been manifested in some of the counties In
West Tennessee, since the call upon the militia
was made, one county (Carroll) having gone so
far, we learn, as positively to refuse to submit
to the detail. In Weakly county,. also, (Em.
Etheridge's county,) wo learn there was serious
trouble on Monday last, which led to the fear
that some difficulty would occur there ; but we
understand that matters were settled peaceably,
and without bloodshed, which was one time
apprehended.
In Idc.Nairy county—John V. Wright's—how
ever, the disaffection seems to have reached its
highest point, as we see from the West Tennessee
IVhig, that it was found necessary to send troops
into that county to arrest some of the authori
ties ; and to send detachments of soldiers into
some of the other counties for the same pur
pose.—Trenton (Tenn.) Standard.
