Our Advertising Columns
The crowded condition of our advertising
columns, compels us to condense the matter
for our editorial, telegraphic and local news
departments. The reader will bear with us
in our extremities in this connection. It is
only right that our merchants and mechanics
should have a fair opportunity to enlighten
the public by a statemerd, in our columns, of
their business; and it is also well enough for
our advertising friends to know that the cir
culation of the TELEGRAPH is now larger than
that of any paper published in this region.
After the Holidays are over, we expect to have
more room for general reading matter, when
we will make ample amends for what may
seem like a present deficiency..
ANOTHER NEW GOLD FrELD.--There is no
longer doubt of the existence of gold in pay
ing quantities in Idaho and Montana. Old
Californians and Oregonians who have had
great experience in mining, pronounce the
gulch diggings equal to any they ever struck
in richness and extent, and some of the rich
est quartz leads on the continent have re
cently been discovered. .T,here seems to be .
no limit to paying -quartz. Important and
valuable placers or surface gold mines have
recently been discovered in Washington Ter
ritory, on Chehate river, at Grey Harbor, and.
"also on a stream entering into Discovery Bay,
near Port Toiynsend. The information comes
in an official shape from the Surveyor Gene
ral of the Territory, and therefore is reliable.
The' population of Washington has been of
rather slow growth, and does not exceed fif
teen thousand. The climate and soil are fa
vorable for settlers, and the discovery of rich
gold mines will operate like magic in the
breaking up of the wild regions, however re
mote.
PAYMENT OF THE PUBLIC DEBT.-TllO Com
missioner oath° Internal Revenue closes his
report with a statement showing that if the
war were to end leaving us a debt of four
thotsand millions of dollars, an annual ex
penditure of fifty per cent, more than in the
year preceding the war, our present revenue
law would yield enough to pay the current
expenses of the nation, including the six per
cent. interest on our debt, and leave a surplus
that would extinhish the debt in ninety years,
even with our present production and popula
tion; and in half of that time at our present
prospective increase of production and popu
lation. This rate of taxation is cheerfully
borne by a patriotic people during the great
struggle for the nation's life; but on every rea
sonable theory of the future it is far beyond
all probable needs, and may with safety be con
siderably reduced when the war is ended, if
that end be soon.
Tax Nowburyport Herald prwaiota an open
winter. It says Nature foresaw it, in prepar
ing the coats for the ears of corn, and gave
them but scanty covering; the streams and
ponds are net yet full, which indicates that
muoh rain instead of snow is yet to fall;
the muskrats have built their houees two sto
ries high to avoid the rise of the waters; and
the nuts are, scarce, as the squirrels will have
the liberty of 4,11 e woods, instead of being
blocked up in their holes by snow banks.—
We conclude the prediction is wiser for New
England than for Pennsylvania.
THE EXTENT OF THE OIL PRODUCTION may be
inferred from the fact that if Petroleum were
taxed one dollar per barrel, it would produce a
revenue of two millions of dollars - in Penn
sylvania alone.
PERSONAL AND POLITICAL
IT was hoped that the good sense and wil
lingness of a portion of the Democratic lead
ers in Congress, would induce them to give
way to the pressure of public opinion, and
thus secure their support of the Amendments
to the Constitution abolishing slavery. From
the tone of the more influential of the Democ
racy in Congress, it is very evident that the
proposed amendment to the Constitution can
not be carried through the House. This will
render an extra session inevitable. We can
not see what the Democratic members gain by
forcing this delay. They may save them
selves from going on the record in favor of
the amendment, and so make out to stand
well with their Southern friends; but as the
amendment is one of the certainties of the fu
ture, it would seem the dictate of prudence
on their part to yield to its passage now as
gracefully as possible.
IT is now definitely settled that the names
of the following gentlemen will be presented
in the Legislature of Illinois, as candidates
for the positton of United States Senator, in
place of Richardson, whose term will expire
in March, to wit: Gen. John A. Logan, Hon.
E. E. Washburn, Gan. John M. Palmer, and
Governor Yates.
DAmmi, DOUGHERTY, the eloquent War
Democrat, who rendered such effective ser
vice in the late campaign, is now in Wash
ington city, where he is to deliver a lecture
before one of the Literary Societies of the
metropolis.
WE are happy to know, from very go6d au
thority, that the re-election of Henry Wilson,
whose term of service as Senator in Congress
will expire on the 4th of March, is among the
"fixed facts" of the future. It is estimated
that in the over three hundred members of the
Massachusetts Legislature, there are not more
than six of them—all so-called Democrats—
who are opposed to him.

To .Major General Dix, New York:
An official dispatch from General Sherman
was received, to-day, dated near midnight,
December 13th, on the gunboat Dandelion,
Ossabaw Sound, Georgia. It was wzitten be
fore General Foster had reached him. He
reports, beside some military details of future
operations which are omitted, the following
particulars of his operations:
ON BOARD "DANDRLION," OSSABAW SOUND,
11.50 P. rs., Dec. 13, 1864.—T0-day, at 5 P. sr.,
General. Hazen's, Division of the Fifteenth
Corps carried Fort McAllister by assault, cap
turing its entire garrison and stores. This
opened to us the Ossabaw Sound, and I pulled
down to this gunboat to communicate with
the fleet. Before opening communication we
had completely destroyed all the railroads
leading into Savannah and invested the city.
The left is on the Savannah River, three miles
above the city, and the right is on the Ogee
ohee, at King's Bridge.
The army is in splendidgorder, and equal to
anything. The weather has been fine and
supplies abundant. Our march was most
agreeable, and we were not at all molested by
guerrillas. We reached Savannah three days
ago, but owing to Fort McAllister we could
not communicate, but now we have McAllis
ter, and go ahead!
We have already captured two boats in the
Savannah river, and have prevented the gun
boats . from coming down. I estimate the
population of Savannah, at twenty-five thou
sand, and the , garrison at fifteen thousand.
General Hardee commands.
We have not lost a wagon on the trip, but
have gathered a large supply of mules, ne
groes, horses, &c., and our teams are in far
better condition than when we started.
My first duty will be clear the army of all
surplus negroes, mules and horses.
We have utterly destroyed over two hun
dred miles of railroad, and consumed stores
and provisions that were essential to Lee's
and. Hood's armies.
The quick work made of Fort McAllister,
and the opening of communication with our
fleet, and consequent independence of sup
plies, dissipates all their boasted threats to
head me off and starve the army. I regard
Savannah as already gained.
Yours, truly,
W. T. SHERMAN;
Major-General.
