aitg Ceitgrap4 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 Execution of Deserters.
