Datip Ceitgrapb). HARRISBURG, PA Friday Morning, Febraary 2t, 18621. PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT, A PROCLAMATION It is recommended to the people of the United States that they assemble in their cus tomary places of meeting, for public solemnities on the 22d day of February instant, and cele brate tbe anniversary of tbe birth of the Father of Alt Cenntry, by causing to.be read to them his immortal Farewell Address. Given under my hand and the seal of the UMW! States, at Waahington, the nineteenth day of February, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, and of the independence of the' 'United States of America the eighty-sixth [Sian.] By the President. -Witmax H. &maim, Secretary of State , POSTAL AIEO4OI9I4TIONS. initnYithirs `the office accommodations in the city of Philadelphia, for the postal service, ' Uri) been of an inferior and inadequate de scription, so that occasionally the people have suffered loss, while the merchants of Philadel .4ble, have been continually indjected to the greatest inconvenience. Recently we noticed that the postmaster in New York has been authorised to lease the large and extensive bullding known as the, Merchants' Exchange, in Wall street, for $60,000 per annum rent. It seems inexplicable that, while Philadelphia ti laboring under so many inconveniencee, and that while Postmaster Walborn of that city, is sealously engaged in urging some action on Congress to secure better accommodations for the postal service in Philadelphia, that her claims should be overlooked, and power granted to the postmaster of New York city to expend an enormous sum yearly for the lease of a building for the office in that city. The sum expended in three years in New York for the mere lease of a building, would purchase such 4.e building in Philadelphia, with its title in fee vested in the government. We feel an interest in the accommodation which the government extends to the city of Philadelphia, not only in the matter of the post office, but in every act which conduces to the prosperity of that city, and thus of course to the accommodation and success of thelpublic service in that locality. That the nation has done little for Philadelphia, is evident in all the operations of the government in that quar ter. The custom house in that city was the work of corporate enterprise—the navy yard is constantly struggling against untoward po litical the mint, the only building erected by the government, is per mitted to remain the same dingy unimproved structure it was years ago, unmodernized even in the slightest particular. Surely, then, Philadelphia should have adequate accommo dation for her public services, while above all, the poet office should be so established and arranged as to give the people the most central local access, and at the same time afford the business of the office the largest room for its operations. This cannot be postponed much longer . . Postmaster General Blair, whose large capacity and liberal construction of the powers of . his Department have made his administra tion thus far so successful, will undoubtedly soon recognize and satisfy the wants of the peo ple.of Philadelphia. In the meantime we urge our friends in ' he city of Philadelphia to allow no opportunity to pass to bring the subject fairly and candidly before Postmaster General Blair. ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGISLATURE. The resolution of both Houses of the Legisla ture to adjourn to-morrow over to Monday, for the purpose of participating in the celebration of the 22d of February, the birth-day of the Father of his Country, in the city of Philadel phia, suggests an impropriety of action on the prt of Legislature which has elicited some fery deOidixt prole' one of dies proval from the people. It will be the first instance in fifty years, that the Senate and House of Representatives of Pennsylvania have not had road before them, in official session, on the 22d ,of February, Washington's Farewell Address ; and we be lieve.the facts will prove that it has been re served for the members of this Legislature of the State to leave the honored Capital of the Commonwealth, to commemorate the natal day of Washington in the mere commercial em porium of the State. However many mem. bets of the Legislature may be present at the proposed celebration in Philadelphia, it Cannot be recognised as an official recognition iespect for the occasion, because when they love this capital they cease to be the legislature. It is to be regretted that this action was taken by the Legislature, and we have no hesitation in writing that the ad jourument will meet with very little approval throughout the State. If the day is worth ob serving, the constituency of every member will undoubtedly conclude that its observance could have been best promoted in the capital of the state, instead of one of its cities. It would have been as appropriate for Congress to have Adinerned over and gone to New York to cele brite.the same occasion, as the Legislature of this state to adjourn and visit Philadelphia for the purpose of participating in a local obser vance of the 22d of February. It is sincerely to be hoped that the judgment and good sense of the Legislature will induce both houses to reconsider this resolution, and remainin the capital to observe Washington's 'birth-day. It is due alike to the occasion' and eveiy portion of the commonwealth, that that grant ,day kie officially recognised and observed by the authorities in the capital of the Key stone state. • There are those in the north who have'tad a warm side for the rebellion from its incita tion. They expressed this warmth in war* words when traitor Senators and Representk tives retired from Congress ; they repeated thi. expression as the rebellion gathered strength , by the secession of state after state ; and when Sumpter fell, and the haughty chivalry of the south were supposed to have shown their supe riority, the sympathizers in the free and loyal states indulged in this congratulation until the aroused loyalty of the north indignantly forced every man to proclaim his adhesion to the gov ernment, or peril his social and political posi tions bra refusal. • Theapirit which prompted sympathy for the rebellion while its plane were being matured and its future operations accurately arranged, is striving to create a dif ferent feeling for the rebels, by advocating terms of peace, and proposing such compromises as will shield the traitors from further defeat and give them an opportunity to retrace their steps and return with their states to the folds of the Union, before they have been completely disgraced, if not actually exterminated by the federal power. Defeat has followed • closely on the arrogant`boasting of the leaders of re bellion. They have been met in their own en trenchments and worsted. They have been encountered on their own • territory, and scat tered in every direction- They have been driven back from this ocean shores T-and now,, retreating in ,confusion before the. advancing forces of the government, that government is to be applied to for a cessation of hostilities, until terms of peace can be arranged,' or come agreement erected to permit Davis tr Co. either to fly from the country or escape the odium and responsibility they have incur rei as the leaders of the rebellion. This is what is implied when a Democratic press advo cates a restoration . of the Union to its old basis, with southern rights the same to rebel as when they struck at the integrity of this government one year ago; with the privilege of secession undecided, and still a pulse in that great "southern heart" that assumes to beat only at the touch of that Democracy who have been the authors and the instigators of every national sin and political excess that have cursed the government since its origin. Against this influence it becomes the sacred duty of every, loyal man in the land to exert all his moral force and reasonable argument. If we do not humiliate and crush out the rebels with all the influences of rebellion, we only bequeath the question to another generation, again to be revived by similar arrogant de mands by the descendants of the slave power, and again to be contested at a waste of precious blood and insmensel i wealth. Therefore, no thing but an unconditional surrender of every leading traitor, with the prompt submission and despersion of their followers should be accepted by the government. This is due to a just vindication of the outraged authority of the land. It is due to a vindication of the govern ment before the nations of the world. IC is due as a security for the future. Any other course will only lead to a repetition' of the wrong, and an increase of the suffering which is bound to originate from such struggles. This is a grave and a very important subject; and it cannot be too narrowly watched by those who have at heart the stability of the govern ment and its power to maintain its own au thority. The mere defeat of the rebels in arms, is not alone the vindication due to the govern ment. Such a defeat simply establishes our military power. That which is most essential to a prouder vindication of the government,ls the re-assertion of its civil authority, by its prompt establishment and operation in the pun ishment of the traitors. And until this is done, treason will never be eradicated Until s jury can be impannelled in the slave states, that will fairly try and condemn the leaders of this rebel lion as traitors, the allegiance of the south will be uncertain, the stability of the govetnment exceedingly precarious, and the law and au thority of the land remain a mock-cry in the, south. Unconditional surrender is the only basis on which the rebellion can be arrested. Unconditional surrender, or such defeat and extermination as our troops are now fast ac complishing, should be the only terms for • a cessation of hostilities. ABRAHAM LINCOLN It is wonderful what a difference a Union victory makes in the way that some people re gard the rebellion. There are fellows around who have for months been decrying the war, who have persistently argued that the govern ment could never "conquer the south;" that the longer the war continued the stronger and more determined the .rebels would become, and that the only true policy was to recognize the independence of the southern confederacy. The Union army has been the constant butt of their remarks, and Bull Run and Big Bethel were standing jokes with them. They secretly applauded at every reverse and sneered at and deprecl tted every victory of the government arms. But now when pen. Scott's "big snake" begins to contract in earnest, when the rebels find themselves flanked in alldirections; when the eastern coast is at last open to our advance, and we have effected an opening through the very heart of rebeldom, indicating and promis ing a speedy wiping out of the traitors from the face of the earth,—these fellows begin to sing a different tune and to talk in the most patriotic manner of the cause of the Union and the villainy of the rebels, and are even ready to "pledge their liven, their fortunes and sacred honor for the support of the government." The north just now is full of these newly made patriots. It is astonishing to see their zeal now•a-days for the war ! We would suggest, however, that the government owes them small thanks for their sudden ardor in its cause, When the nation was in gloom and dismay— when treason was jubilant and audacieua— when the three months recruits. demanded to be discharged—these now noisy friends of the government, were then the equally noisy de famers of what they termed its imbecilities and failures. It is well to mark such men. In this city they are known for their vituperation of Republicanism, and their sickly adulation of the rebel leaders. We venture the assertion that there is not a man who reads this pare, graph but knows me nsuches „those to whom we now refer, and wbo necessary ; point to these individuals daily in the streets.

The Federal Troops Fire into Fort Doneison. The Trauntre correspondent, In giving a des cription of the battle at Fort Donelson, says that when Colonel Craft's brigade, which bed been ordered to reinforce General McClernand, came up in the rear of the Thirtieth and Thir ty-first Illinois and Twenty-fifth Kentucky, these regiments were lying down and firing over the crest of a hill. On the approach of the reinforce.ments they rose, not knowing whett.er the tore in their rear was friend or toe, and the Twenty-fifth Kentucky, supposing them to be rebels, poured in a raking volley on them which did terrible execution, and was sufficient to throw the en tire brigade into disorder at once. Almost a panic ensued, many throwing down their guns and equipments and fleeing. The woods were tilted with stragglers, and some even fled to Fort lienry. The enemy improved the opportunity, and advanced upon Schwartz's end Dreseder's bat teries, capturing five guns and taking possession of McOlernandts head-quarters, driving our I forces nearly a mile and a half. The rebels seemed resolved to follow up their advantage. At this juncture, General Wallace's Division was thrown in front, and took a position on a ridge, with Taylor's Battery in the centre of the road. The rebels formed on the ridge which General hiceleinard had occupied, and, flushed with success, moved forward. As soon as they came in range, Taylor's Battery opened on them with grape, canister and shell, causing the rebels to quail'and come to a'halt, and as our infantry advanced they began to fall back, and we recovered the ground previously loot.
