HARRISBURG, PA
MUMMY EVENING, DECEMBER 24, 1864,
A Merry Christmas
Setting aside the affliction occasioned in
families, by the loss of dear ones sacrificed in
the war, the people of the free and loyal
States have cause for abundant joy on the re
turn of merry Christmas. In the midst of a
great war--a war of most prodigious consump
tion--a war demanding all the energies of the
Government and all the devotion of the peo
ple to carry it on successfully—in the midst of
such a war, the nation finds itself more pros
perous than ever it was before. Labor of all
description is better paid than ever it was—
there is no just cause for the idleness of men
or women--the mechanic and the merchant
have more to do than they can accomplish—
the former is reaping a magnificent harvest of
liberal profits—indeed, prosperity and abun
dance bless the land. While we are filling up
old armies and recruiting new forces, there
seems to be no falling off of the active popu
lation of the land. The places of the dead
who have perished in glory and pasied to im
mortality, are filled up by active men emu
lous of the noble deeds of their brethren.
Victory, prosperity and real joy, greet the
nation as it prepares to welcome mer
ry Christmas. Never did any people
present such a spectacle of greatness while
engaged in so formidable a struggle for their
existence. Engaged in the solution of a great
principle and passing through the fiery ordeal
of war, we yet preserve in vigor and freshness
all the blessings of peace—all the benefits and
the advantlges of a prosperity not equalled, to
day, y any nation on earth! Respecting the
sorrow of the afflicted, and sincerely sympa
thizing in the loss of those who have been
bereaved by the casualties of war, we still be
lieve that every heart in the land, which
beats responsive to loyalty, will have cause to
be gratefully happy as Christmas is ushered
in to-morrow. The nation stands forth, to.
day, disenthralled and vindicated. The traitor
assumption of a lack of power to preserve its
own life, has been beaten down ; and on the
ruins of rebellion, as grand a nationality now
.rears itself as ever reflected the glory of Heaven
since the angels sang on the plains of Galilee,
" Peace on earth and good will to men." A
merry Christmas to all! A merry Christmas
to the soldiers' widow and the soldiers' or
phans, for by their losses we have preserved
to us a home and a country, and our joy can
only be unadulterated as we know that they
have all that earth can afford to alleviate their
sorrow. A merry Christmas to all—to the
poor as well as the rich. A hallelujah to God
for his blessings, and a shout of congratula
tion ror in. 0.:-.‘ra:y on its victorious redemp
tion from rebellion--are due from ati hearts.
ON Tuesday night last a man named M'-
Fate was murdered and robbed in Oil city,
by some parties who succeeded in making
their escape. We are without any detals of
the affair, excepting that Mr. M'Fate was
found dead in the street, on Wednesday morn
ing, with his throat cut and his pockets rifled.
There are several gentlemen of that name re
siding in the oil region, and owners of large
tracts of land: A telegraphic dispatch re
ceived to-day from Oil city, by Joseph'Snow
den, Esq., Agent of the Associated Press, of
fers a reward of $1.0,000 for the arrest and
conviction of the murderers.
THE New York World, referring to the Dem
ocratic party and slavery, significantly asks:
" Why should the party bind itself to a dead
corpse ?" " Bind itself, " indeed! Why the
party " bound itself " to slavery when it was
as full of vitality as any monster that ever
existed; and for years the life of slavery was
its only life. Now, when slavery is dead, of
course " the party "i s dead, too. The two
dead bodies, still bound fast, are rotting
together.
A UNION LEAGUE IN SAVANNAH.—An Illinois
soldier who escaped from Millen, Ga., on the
15th of November, afterward visiting Savan
nah, and finally reaching the Union fleet be
tween that city and Charleston, has arrived
home, and says that there are loyal men in Sa
vannah. He found there a Union League in
actual operation, and received assistance from
its members, without which be would not
have been able to effect his escape.
" ParATrorsztt" is rolling Southward. An
Arkansas juge lately charged a grand jury in
Pulaski county, that " holding or selling
slaves is a crime amounting to felony," and
four-fifths of the qualified jurors agreed to
find bills of indictment against the slave
holders of that county, in accordance with
the charge.
Tux Toronto Globe, speaking of the Presi
dent's modification of General Dix's order,
says: " The Mass of our people will receive
it as an indication of kind feeling towards
Canada from an honest and sensible man, and
the hands of our government will be. strength
ened is any efforts they may make to put
down the raiders and their abettors."
INTEENAL REVENUE Dxcisms.—The Com
missioner of Internal Revenue has decided
that real estate, passing by_inheritance from
husband to wife, or vice versa, is subject to a
succession tax of six per cent upon its clear
value.
THE Miffiinburg (Union county) Telegraph
ill credibly informed that the Northern Cen
tral railroad company have expressed a de
sire to have a branch road built to that place,
and will take stock to the amount of $lOO,OOO.
Om has been found in Fayette county, and
wells sunk to a depth of eighty feet, are now
Sowing a splendid quality of the greasy fluid.
Tnz Orr, fever is raging in Cambria county,
where several companies have been organized
to bore for oil.
Home Traitors to be Looked After
The several Courts in Maryland having ju
risdiction in the premises, are taking active
steps in the direction of the "home traitors"
who have too long infested that State. One
of these judges declared to a grand jury which
he lately charged, that the time had now ar
rived when the loyal States could with perfect
safety pay some attention to the sneaks and
poltroons, the hypocrites and the traitors,
who had so long defied and embarrassed the
Government. During the initial movements
of the armed traitors in the seceded States, it
was deemed exceedingly delicate, on the part
of the Government, to attempt even an inter
ference with the northern "home traitors."
It was not known how far these rascals had
effected an organization how strong they
were in numbers—and therefore, almost up
to this time, "the home traitor" in the loyal
States has had his "own way," doing and
saying what he pleased in connection with the
Government. The time has passed for the
toleration of such cowardly miscreants. The
Government is abundantly able to cope with
the armed traitors—the rebellion of the slave
holders is effectually beneath the heels of the
military power—so that the authorities now
can, with perfect safety, turn their attention
to the in the free States who have too
long presumed upon the weakness of the
Government in their defiance of its power.
The national authority will not have been
fully vindicated, until these "home traitors"
are brought to justice. Maryland is setting
her sister States a noble example on this score,
and we trust it will not be long before the
courts of every State in the Union will be en
gaged in the trial of "home traitors."
WHISKY AS A FIGTING ELEMENT. —Humphrey
Marshal is a member of the rebel Congress;
as a member of which body he has expressed
the grave opinion that the negro - will fight if
you "fill him - with 'whisky." Now what Mar
shal does not know touching the virtues of
whisky, will not be found out during the pre
sent generation. He has probably experi
mented deeper with this prescription for
courage than almost - any other man, and yet
it never made a fighting man of him. If the
negro can be made to fight well by giving him
whisky, he will prove himself Marshall's su
perior by all odds; he is his equal in that re
spect at the very worst; for drunk or sober—
and drunk has been the rule—it has been
found that there is no fight in him. But Mar
shall is a good talker and a man of prodigious
ability, and herein he as much excels the ne
gro in .general as the negro excels him for
fighting qualities, and that too without the
whisky
Letter from the 20th Cavalry
HEADQUARTERS 20th RENN'A CAVALRY,
NEAP. KBANSTOWN, VA., Dec. 18, 1864.
Emma TELEGnern:-.Perhaps you migh
feel a little interest iu the fortunes of our reg
iment, as it contains quite a number of Hat.
risburg men.
You are acquainted with our history through
less,
calm,. Armlttkv'a ~i a tr. 1Ly.01ab...., 5 ,
so I will commence with our encamp
ment at Clunabcrland, at which place we were
stationed nearly three months. During most of
this time our Colonel (John E. Wynkoop)
commanded the second brigade, Ist cavalry
division, Department West Virginia, and part
of the time commanded the division, being
next officer in rank to Brig. Geu. Duffie (cap
tured near Martinsburg.) The division be
came gradually dissolved by the regiments
comprising it being ordered to join General
Sheridan at the front its rapidly as equipped,
and the 20th in its turn moved out of Cum
berland on the 28th of NoVember, destined
to Pleasant Valley, Md., to complete its equip
ment. Lieut., CoL Middleton, who had been
on trial for several charges, by general court
martial, remained in Cumberland, his case not
having fully determined. on. Our equipments
were obtained on the 12th inst., and on the
14th we moved out of camp for the front.
We bad been having pretty severe weather,
and the men having no other protection than
shelter tents, suffered greatly. Passed through
Charlestown on the morning . of the 15th inst.,
and at noon the same day, Just as we were
about to enter Bunker Hill, descried a small
force in our advance, and threw out the first
squadron to learn who and what they were,
but the suspicious force became alarmed and
began moving rapidly up the pike, when our
boys charged them, but they • were too well
mounted and got away. We have since learn
ed that it was a New York regimeat, and a
gallant one too, but only about mie hundred
and fifty were present, and our column was
mistaken for Moseby, and looked too strong
for them. We bivouacked that night'at. Ste
phenson's depot, and next morning reported
to Gen. Terbet, commanding cavalry corps,
and were assigned to Gen. Merritt's division,
(formerly of the Army of the Potomac,) and
Gen. Devin T-brigade. We are much pleased
with our brigade and division. The 17th
Pennsylvania cavalry are briglided with us.
Our command is quite healthy, verylew at
tend sick call, and all are unimportant cases.
Col. Wynkoop is absent on sick leave—we
are much afraid we will ins° our gallant com
mander. Major J. Harry Thorp commands
the regiment. Of the field and staff there are
present: Majors J. H. Thorp, R. B. Douglas,
W. W. Anderson,Surgeon A. G. Walls, (in
very poor health,) Assistant Surgeon Wm.
Grumbied, Adjutant J. B. O'Connor, Com
missary C. P. Chamberlin, Quartermaster J.
M. Thomas, acting quartermaster Curtis being
left sick at Harper's Ferry, Va.
Regiment reports 653 men present for duty,
equipped,. and 32 officers.
To-morrow the entire cavalry corps will
move towards the front, on a raid or reconnois
sance, and ere this reaches you, there may be
some hard fighting in this valley.
Everybody is jubilant over Gen. Thomas'
late victories in Tennessee, and are anxiously
awaiting news of Sherman. This army is in
fine condition and spirits.
The address of the !regiment is as follows:
20th Penn'a Cavalry, 2d Brigade, Ist Cavalry
Division, Winchester, Va.
And they will be sent out Vero to us.
Should anything of interest occur, you vi
hear from me again. M.
Tux Postmaster General's estimate of
postal expenses for 1866 is $14,098,500. Re
asks for $182,000 for trans-Atlantic service,
$400,000 for letter carriers, $7,800,000 for in
land transportation, and $48,000 for the West
India services
