HARRISBURG,
FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 9. 1864,
O. L. Ward's address
We blush as we confess , it, that we have
read Mr. O. L. Ward's Address, a produc
tion only needed to established C. L. Ward's
dirty propensity for
. lying when honorable
truth is at stake, It is an attempted apol
ogy, intended for the satisfaction of the trai
tors bi arnft`tor' the DemOcratic failnie' in
Pennsylvania, and as a necessity, abounds in
filthy lkis, insane propositions and ridiculous
conclusions. There• is no longer any doubt,
that the cline to which Ward" belong's, had
covet*ted with the Richmond traitors, to
elect McClellan President—no doubt either
that Ward, with the egotism which has been
his consuming peculiarity all his life, assured
Jeff. Davis over his own signature that he
would carry Pennsylvania against the Gov
ernment. Hence this miserable apology for
defeat—this batch of filthy, unmanly and cow
ardly lies to cover up the evidence that the
free and intelligent masses of the old Key
stone State repudiated Christ Ward and his
party with an instinctive repugnance for trai
tors.
To show the shallowness of Ward's Address,
we need only refer to one of its positions:
Ward irAsists that in carrying Philadelphia
city by 12,000 majority, the friends of the Ad
ministration, namely, the Anormostars, as he
denominates them, must have practiced fraud,
because, forsooth, an incendiary mob, years
ago, destroyed an abolition hall in that city.
Here is wisdom for you! But this simple
illustration presents fairly the merit of this
most contemptible production. Mr. Ward,
old a sinner as he is, will live to see greater
changes than those wrought in Philadelphia,
since a drunken mob ruthlessly destroyed a
temple dedicated to freedom. He has already
lived to see abolitionism triumphant, its prin
ciples the proud boast of the masses, and its
leading men the rulers of the land.
' —lf we had room, we would gladly publish
Ward's Address if only to exhibit, for the
amusement of our readers, the clumsy attempt
of a dough-faced regular blue light federalist,
to lie out of defeat in order to keep within
the grace of his Southern masters. But we
have no room to spare for such productions,
and therefore our readers lose a rich treat.

Returning Soldiers.Lftte i•ri.vonrra bathe
South.
Onr rural exchanges are filled with descrip
tions of the condition of returning soldiorg;
late prisoners of war in the South. These
account's are caloulatod to create a eon
fiment and a feeling in the minds and the
breasts of Northern people hitherto unknown.
It was expected, when our gallant sons and
brothers took up arms to defend the life of
the Government, that many • of: them would
peril& on the battle-field, that' . powder and
shot would leave their marks on: the ; faces of

perpetrated by men who claim that baying'
and selling human flesh is a Christian virtue
and, a noble right. Nothing that the conspi
rators have yet done, in pushing their hel
lish treason, will do them more harm than
the manner in which they have treated our
brothers and sons, when prisoners in their
hands. These poor fellows now 'returning
home to die, are all witnesses of the barbarity
of the traitors. The gaunt forms and shriv
eled faces of the wretches thus coming home
to die, are doing a fearful work in the North
—are creating a -sentiment and a feeling
which will some day be felt with .terror by
the traitors who have thus outraged human
ity. The treatment of our soldiers will put
a social bar between the people of the North
and the South, which only the passing away
of a generation can remove.
A TitEMENDOI7I3 BLUNDEIL—An awkward er
ror, probably of some subordinate clerk in the
Treasury Department, says the New York
Post, re ode the total of our national debt at
about t hundred times as much as it really
is, an ur hundred times larger than the
natio debt, of Great Britain. This error
appeared in the-President's Message. It is in
these alarming words : "One billion, seven
hundred and forty thousaul millions, six
hundred and eighty-nine clms and forty
nine cents." If we understand arithmetic one
billiSlee same as a thousand millions.—
But e off tbe.billion. Then we have seven
hundred and forty thousand millions, with
the odd dollar's and cents.
Now the debt is less than two ' thousand
millions of dollars. If the Treasury clerk had
stuck to the plain way of statement which
everybody understands, he would not have
made a blunder that wool! '3 e a school

: WERNIFI are preparing to be liberal to those
arotuni us to make glad the already happy--to
sheer the healthy and provide increased com
forts for those, Whii never experienced want,
it would be well io *ember the soldier in
the fteld, and-contribute to the funds of the
two great commissions now laboring for his
welfare. The exertions being constantly made
in kelialf of the soldiere4AQ front and his
family in the rear, certainly is commendable
to those who are participants in the enter
prises continually on foot for their benefit.
The prospect of a battle sets the Sanitary
Commission all agog, supplies for the wounded
goineforward by the ton;'while the approach
of an inclement season enlists the attention
of the benevolent athome, inducing them to
prepare for the comfort of those whom the sol
dier has left behind.
After all war is a great leveller, and brings
mankind to a closer intimacy with those
who may espouse the same cause. Those
who have property to defend, feel perhaps
from patriotism, peihaps from other reasons,
the necessity of their looking to the welfate
of the families entrusted by the volunteers
who have gone to the front. Perhaps the his
tory of the world scarcely furnishes a parallel
to the wonderful endeavors which have been
made, independent of Government relief for
those who have been unfortunate in the cause
of their country. Yet to-day the giant ener
gies of just as many good men, and the nim
ble plying of. thousands. upon thousands of
fair hands the country over, are willing and
eager for the relief not only of the soldiers,
but of those who are dependent on his for
tunes.
Hancock"s New Corps.
It is not saying too much, when we assert,
that of all the young commanders in the ar
mies of the Republic, Maj. Gen. Hancock is
the most popular, personally, with the rank
and file. He is the youngest Major General
in the service. - He - has inflicted more heavy
blows on the enemy, than any officer under
the new Lieutenant General. During.the first
operations before Petersburg, when the im
mense plans wore developing'on the. Weldon
Railroad, Maj. Gen. Hancock seems to have
been the only officer who could properly carry
out the purposes of his great leader, as he
was entrusted with the direction of all the
great movements then made. It was while
thus engaged, that the gallant Pennsylvanian
won the confidence of true men in as well
as out of the army. By his personal valor,
the exhibition of his genius and resources as
a soldier in moments of imminent peril, he
at once impressed his followers with his abil
ity to lead and his countrymen with the power
to command. In view of these facts, then,• we
consider it most fortunate that Maj. General
Hancock has been selected to organize a new.
Army , Corps. lie has advantages for the ac
complishment of such a work, which no other
officer in the army possesses, not that there
are not others in cetwxiand his equal in valor"
and virtue. His peculiarity is his faculty of'
rendering himself popular with his soldiers—
the dashing brilliancy 'of his career and gen
erous impulse of
_his character, tendering him
invincible alike to friend and foe.

The Democracy, in Congrem.
The Second Session of the Thirty-Eighth Con
gress ought to be the most important working
session ever held by that body. In view of
the result of the eleotion for membeis of Con
gress, there can be no doubt in the mind of
every Democratic Representative, as to the
wishes and the hopes of the people on all
subjects within the control of that body. The
issues of the October election, wherever loyal
men could meet to vote, were of the broadest
and most distinct character. They were
made such by the enemies of the National
Administration, to create odium against those
who, as candidates, were identificd . with its
pokey. It was asserted that friend of
the National Administration was. an emanci
pationist—an abolitionist. On these issues
the largest majority ever elected in favor of an
administration while in power, was returned to
Congress. On the principle put forward e by the
Democracy themselves, the whole country de- -
tided in favor of freedom in favor of eman-'
eipation—in favor of the immediate abolition of
slavery. In view of these faets,then,it becomes
themost solemn duty of the present Congress;
before its limited session expires, to take tliP'
first steps for the complete abolition pf slave*,
It is the only opportunity which Ate ,Demo
cratic leaders ever will have, of exhibiting,
in an official form, their respect for the will
of the people. And if they fail to respond to
this will at the session Of Con g5O
,now in
working operation, nothing but ?disgrace can
await them in the future.
The. Fine of the Modern.Deverittle.!'airty.
The leaders of what has beartilled the
Democratic, party, while pursuing thehe evil
deeds of treachery to the Goverumentchave
persistently insisted that theirs was the na
tional party, thei liartyealone identified with
the progress and the glory of the mqlon. alt
is a little strange, however, to note that this
national party has been iwlltdedto a most wo
fnfly insinifrcant, The peoyle consti
tuting the nation of whThh-this party &Apes
to be the sole representative, actually
repudi
ateit, literally refuse to be represented by this
DelliPetlr. In proof of this repudiation it is,
onlyinicassary to refer to the fact that in the
`next :House of Representatives, airteen States
will be mjthout Democratic Representatives,
exclusive of the seceded States. Is there not •
great . danger that the Democratic party. will:
become sec . e. confined to the
rebel 'States.

TEtE LEADING CoxsPrnAron, when they re
volted against the national authority, thought
they struck to protect their slave property, to
vindicate their political rights derived from
s'avery, and that the only security oftiovern
ment was that veated in the obligation of
master and slave. Now, however, the %ave.
masters are preparing to free the slave—to
emancipate, to do that to qe,seue themselves
from the embarrassments of their treason, for
the preservation of which they first conspired.

WASEINOTON, Dec. 7.
In addition to the'admissions of the Rich
mond papers of the sth inst., that General
Sherman's main army had reached Millen, the
authorities have infcirmation of unquestiona
ble reliability, 'that General Sherman'a main
army had already passed Millen, without a
battle, and' without the expenditure of any
ammunition, except what was Used in the two
or three skirmishes of detachments already
reported.
Having passed Millen, there is no opportu
nity for any rebel force whatever to interrupt
his march to the point - upon the coast for
which he originally set 'out, and where the
supplies and mails for that army will arrive
simultaneously with its arrival. The com
plete success of Sherman's great enterprise is
now beyond a shadow of - a doubt, and it has
been demonstrated that all that remains of
the armed rebellion is comprised in the two
armies of Hood and Lee, both of which will
soon be rendered powerless.

MEMO=
Reports from Rebel Papers.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.
Information received from City Point to
day says that Southern papers (the dates of
whictrare not given, but probably the latest)
rePOrt . that Sherman has abandoned the short
est route for Augusta, and appears to be drift
ing towards Savannah.
He was delaying for the purpose of gather
ing supplies, while the territorial range was
not
.too contracted_ by the .operations of
Wheeler.
The Augusta Constitutionalist thinks he has
not for a moment hesitated as to the point to
be' attacked, or - the road to it; Saying: The
morning of the 2d,inst., abandoning the short
est bible, to Atignatit, moving by a pg , .? route
iuthe diieiittut of 13avannah. ' ,
•-- . ,
The Constitutionalist lays out the following
campaign for him, being the most natural and
feasible one: Forage and provision trains will
keeep his entire army to Millen; then throw
ing his cavalry in the rear he will put his
wagon trains between the two wings of his
army and march in a compact column, steadily
but cautiously, on the city of Savannah. The
Ogeachee, and its few crossings and terrible
swamps en his right, and the Savannah river
and its equally, swampy banks on the left,
both flanks will be most securely covered, and
thus, situated he has a march of something
over 80 miles to the city. Traveling at the
rate he had averaged sine.? leaving Atlanta he
would reach there by the 9th, provided he
should not be checked by the way.
The. Oconee bridge had •not been burned,
although desperate attempts had been made.
Tne Richmond Enquirer of the 7th inst„ re
ports that no new movement had been made
in the direction of drahamsville. The Fed

ments of whites and a force of blacks. About

BRISK FIRING. AT FORT HELL,
A. PICKET TRUCE,.
WILL THERE RE A MOVE?
HEADQVARTEMM A-EMY OF TICS POTOMAC,
BEFORE PETERSBURG, Dee. 5, 1801...
With the exception of pretty brisk cannon
ading in the vicinity of Fort Hell, this fore
noon, there has been nothing to vary the mo
notony of life along the lines---at least noth
ing permissible to be recorded. For several
days a truce has beenexisting between our
s own and the rebel pickets on the right; and, I
believe, pretty generally on the centre and
left. Under the protection of the little white
fluttering bit, of rag, it, is now tolerably safe
to ride to the outermost fortifications, without
the 'risk of being made the target for a rebel
telescopic ride.
According to the stories of deserters, the
late raid of, Gregg's cavalry to Stony Creek
Station has becu a severe blow to the enemy,
and the effect is being felt in their. camps in
the diminished supply of forage. Of course
they will still communicate with the. South
side road by wagon trains. Another story is
that they were 'sending forward infantry and
cavalry to the same point, in apprehension
.of a repetition of the 'outrage." This may
be incorrect, but it is evident from various
signs, •that the, rebels understand Grant's
character too well to imagine that he will go
into winter quarters immediately ; and, as
their papers several days ago showed, they
are in daily expectation of.g movement on our
part.
Quiet : Along the Lincs.')
This has been a calm day along the lines in
front of Petersburg.
Sonie little iiicket firing was indulged on
the right of the lines, but the artillery on both
sides was very quiet.
Considerable activity prevailed on the lines
north of the James.river to-day, but the rain
storm which set in'early this morning seemed
to have put a stop to whatever changes, if
any, were intended. ,
Firing was kept up at Dutch Gap all day as
usual, but not with much as persistency as it
was conducted yesterday.
Richmond papers'of to-day contain no news
from Georgia or Tennessee. They. seem to
have anticipated a battle in front of Rich
mond for the past two or three days, and have
evidently been preparing to resist our advance.
