''3'he Influence of Victory on Southern
Ecotimatc of Northern Valor and Virtue.
There has always been and still is a class of
man in the South, who have succeeded in
maintaining a controiling social and political
influence over the masses in that section, by
depreciating and misrepresenting Northern
valor and virtue. The class to which we allude
is composed of the most useless, intolerant,
desperate, and yet most able men in the
Southern States. They are what are esteemed
as the "ruling class" of the slave States. They
possess the land and own "the niggers," facts
in their opinion, rendering them vastly su
perior to "the poor white trash" by whom
they are surrounded. By these landed and
"niggered" (if we may be allowed the term)
aristocrats, the masses of the South hwie been
taught that the white laboring men and me-
chanies of the North, were the most miser
able, depraved, cowardly catiffs in Christen
dom. Everything evil in social attribute was
connected with free labor. The Northern
masses were stigmatised either as brutes or
idiots, and to such a degree had "the rulers''
of the South misrepresented the organization
of Northern society, labor and business, that
the Southern people actually began to regard
the North as destined and decreed for their
conquest. Only when this feeling had been
deeply rooted in the Southern heart, did the
leading conspirators risk the precipitation of
the rebellion. And after these despera
does had precipitated rebellion, they
found it necessary to add, whenever
our soldiers fought with gallantry and
courage, that it was the mere exhibi-
tion of brute force—that it was the impulse
of fiends, and that the South must treat all
captured Yankees as if they were outlaws who
had forfeited all right to humane considera
tion. It is not necessary for us to indicate
how faithfully the Southern masses have lived
up to this direction in the treatment of Fed
eral soldiers prisoners in the South. The
annals of barbarism or cannabalism contain
nothing to equal the brutality of the rebels.
But it is not this, particularly, to which we
desire now to direct attention. Suddenly and
as if by magic, Southern estimate of Northern
valor and virtue has been changed. Our
brave soldiers are now no longer described as
brutes. Even staunch Ben Butler begins to
assume a shape attractive 'to the Southern
Vision. The victories which we are winning
are set down as results attained only after the
test of manly courage, and at length we
have the stern adMission wrung from the
heart of chivalry, that the detested Yankee
is a magnaz i imous foe. The morning that Gen.
Sherman triumphantly entered Savannah, the
rebel organs in that city, after prudently
counselling submission to Sherman's conquest
of the city, eloquently add that the people
who were non-combatants, could trust with
confidence for the safety of their lives and
property, to the magnanimous foe! To use a
common expression, that's as true as preach
ing, and it is time the poor and misera
My duped people of' the 'South trust to the
magnanimous foe. When they do so, the
South will be restored to peace, and the
bleging of a good Government once
more vouchsafed to the people thereof. And
when this peace is inaugurated, as we believe
it speedily will be, and the Southern masses
are brought nearer in contact with the free,
intelligent and enterprising mechanic and
laboring white men of the loyal States, they
will be convinced not only of the magnanim
ity of their foes, but of the superiority, in all
which'leads to a nation's greatness and glory,
of the Northern over the Southern masses. It
is this knowledge fairly promulgated and ex
hibited by the splendid triumphs of Northern
society, among the people of the South, that
will hereafter cement the bonds of Union by
exciting generous rivalries among all sections
for prosperity. Southern treason was in
tensified by Southern ignorance. But as
intelligence is spread and increased in the
slave States by the victories of the national
Government, the South will some day become
the executioner of the men who have led its
people over so many bloody paths, iu the
hope of making rebellion the means of estab
lishing a despotism.
A GREAT Boum —The Chicago Times is re•
joking over the prospect of an abundant sup
ply of i pure water to be obtained from "arte
sitdi Nvells" in that vicinity. It is said that a
company boriuk for oil struck a stream of
water which has risen to the surface, deluging
the prairie in the vicinity. It is estimated
that the well discharges 400 gallons per min
ute, 24,000 per hour, or 5'76,000 per day,which
is considerably more than that discharged by
the famous artesian well at Grenelle, near
Paris—which has heretofore produced the
largest volume of water of .any well in the
world. It is purposed if the water amtdd
prove suitable for drinking and culinary pur
poses, to abandon the Lake tunnel and sink
artesian wells for the purpose of supplying
the city with pure water.
Gow IN RICHMOND.—GoId in Richmond is
now at a premium of 4,000 per cent., or forty
_dollars for one, having advanced since the de
feat of the peace candidate at the North for
the Presidency from about 2,400 per cent, to
its present figure. . The same causes which
produce depreciation in the italic of rebel
currency operates to produce appreciation in
the value of national currency.
A Copperhead Preacher in Trouble.
We learn from one of our Dayton, (0.,)
German exchanges, that a Rev. Mr. Steel,
pastor of a Lutheran church in that locality;
bad gotten himself in a serious difficulty by
the exhibition of his copperheadism. Steels
course in the pulpit had become so utterly
obnoxious, and he had indulged in such un
pri
_ ovoked abuse of the Government and loyal
Men, that the Christian and patriotic portion
of his congregation refused longer to tolerate
him, and he accordingly was compelled to
abandon his pulpit, when he repaired to a pub
lic hall in Dayton to harangue traitors. To show
the character of Steek's actions and uphold
ers, it is only necessary that the faction to
which he catered was headed and controlled by
the traitor Vallandigham, who took his seat
near the pulpit and applauded as Steek hilmi •
nated treason in the disguise of the gospel.
—Oar Du:master friends have some knowl
edge of this man Steek, as he formerly
preached in that city, and was, we believe,
ejected from his pulpit there on account of
his rebel propensities. It now appears that
the loyal Christians of Dayton, Ohio, have re
pudiated the traitor pastor and by this repu
diation the loyal Lutherans of our sitter city
are amply vindicated in their course towards
this same tory.
Fersons who have not paid their income
tax, on the ground that they have never been
called on for anything of the kind, are told
in Washington to bear in mind that the law
makes it imperative on them to make the re
turn of the same, as is shown by the following
extract from the act of Congress on the sub-
"It shall be the duty of all persons of lawful
age, and all guardians and trustees, to nine
return in the list of schedule as provided in
this act, to the proper officer of internal rev
enue, or the amount of hia or her income;
and in case of neglect or refusal to make such
return, the assessor or assistant assessor shall
assess the amount of his or her income."
The act of Congress,' approved June 30th,
1864, makes the same provision—that parties
shall make return to the assessor or assistant
assessor; and under both acts parties who
neglect or refuse to_ make returns, are liable
to prosecirion for attempting to defraud the
Goverronent.
GEN. HURLBUT ON THE AMERICAN FLAG.
Maj . Gen. Hurlbut, coimanding at New Or
leans, has issued a good order. Having heard
that parties directing an orphans' fair in New
Orleans has ordered the American flag to be
taken down, he responded with the follow
ing, directed to Provost Marshal Colonel R
Robinson:
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE GULF,
Nnw ORLEANS, Dec. 14, 1864.
I learn that a loyal lady was directed by
some of the managers at a fair for the bene
fit of St. Vincent's Asylum to take down the
American flag as a political symbol. You
will inform these managers that the American
flag is a symbol of the sovereignty of the na
tion under whose protection they are. As an
appropriate vindication of this unseemly in
sult, you will cause the American flag to be
displayed over the principal entrance within
the hall. It the managers of the fair object
to this, the fair will be closed. If any person
shall show any disrespect to the National
colors, when displayed, such persons shall at
once be arrested. Your prompt attention to
this matter is required.

EDITOR TELEGIRAPH:—In justice to this com
pany-I propose to write a communication,
brief, plain and artless, for your paper. We
are away up here on the border amid continu
ity of mountains and perpetual blow—storms .
without a passable "penciler by the way
side" or tolerable essayist to advise the public
in relation to our health, condition, services
and times generally I don't write to puff the
men for their good will or the commission for
their privileges. To commend a company
not deserving, or laud an individual devoid of
personal merit and intrinsic worth, is despi.
cable and dishonest; but to reward merit and
extol impartial, prompt, efficient officers ac
cords with right and equity. If an officer is
bad he will get the censure of my pen. If
good he will get its praise. Whenever and
wherever worth and merit appears, my enco
miums attend, and demerit my condemnation
visits, simply for the earnest reason, that it is
glorifying the golden rule and complying with
the divine injunction, "Render unto every man
that which belongs him."
We reached this place on or about the 21st
of September, detached from the regiment
for the purpose of arresting conscripts and
deserters in this and the adjacent counties.--
Up to this date, we have nabbed and sent to
Chambersburg about two companies of these
slippery skulkers, which, in my humble opin
ion, is driving a right brisk trade, especially
when the mountainous condition of the coun
try traveled over is considered. Hills and
ridges almost as high as the pyramids of
Egypt and caves thicker than the iroo around
Pharaoh. While we don't have to face
smoking cannons dr stand guard on dangerous
posts, we have to climb steep, stony, craggy
mountains, in all Ends of weather, till our
shoes are soleless, clothes ragged and limbs
twisted and aching severely. It is no pleasant
job to walk eight or ten Miles of a night
through rain and cold, over rough,rocky roads,
and have no better bed than a bundle of hay
of crooked board. Do not infer from this
that 'N-e complain or murmer far from it; we
glory in doing well our part, and while we re
fer to hardships endured such reference is not
in the spirit of despondency, but in the pride
of success. Oar boys laugh at obstacles and
make steppirigzstnnes of failures to brighter
success. As an instance of their sharpness
and vigialnce, a squad of twelve arrested in
three nights, at a little town called Chaney
villa, seventeen miles - south-west of camp,
thirteen conscripts without firing a single shot
or creating a particle of alarm. No company
in the national service on siroilar duty can
produce a hatter record. We challenge its
, •
equal. It is business that has to be studied,
and requires practice. Our boys are up telt;
they know the country tolerably well, and are
always ready to go out. I dare assert, if the
authorities grant us reasonable time, we will
clean out the district and furnish Uncle Sam
with all the human fuel he wants from these
quarters of his kingdom to keep up the
national fire.
I have mentioned only one instance
where the boys made a big haul in a short
time, and displayed their courage and watch
fulness, but could easily bring up a score of
like cases. Suffice it to say, the men on all
tramps and expeditions after these southern
auxiliaries, as well as in camp, conduct them
selves soldier-like, orderly and obedient.
Honorable in their intercourse, temperate in
habits, respectful to superiors and faithfully
prompt in the performance of all their duties.
It is amusing to accompany a squad when
they go after one of the loud-mouthed frater
nity, who has sworn, time and again, he never
would be taken, could clear out a regiment of
blue coats, would kill the first one who en
tered his gate, and a hundred other boastful
expressions, just to see the change which sud
denly operates on his system tho.moment he
levels a glance at the bayonets. His eye balls
roll like a vast panorama, and knee-pans
rattle like alabasters in a green gourd. All
his boasted bravery steams away and his
rustic old cranium dodges around like pump
kins in a thunder storm.
Levity aside, we are prospering finely and
growing fat. The health of the company is
remarkably good, only one or two complain
ing. Have abundant grub, warm clothes and
comfortable houses. So our friends need have
no anxiety about us, for our ways are ways of
pleasantness and all our paths are peace. Our
enjoyment and satisfaction are increased by
the happy fact that John T. Ensminger is our
Captain, a prompt, impartial, ihorough officer.
loved by all his men, and respected by all
who cultivate his acquaintance. No officer
stands higher in the estimation of his men.
He is worthy of promotion, and we hope he
will be successful in rising to a higher po
sition.
Our pleasant and unassuming Lieutenant
Myers returned last week from Chambers
burg. He was welcomed by the soldiers.
Three hearty, willing cheers went up from
camp on the reception of the joyful newathat
our good and kind Major John T. Morgan
was appointed to the command of the Juniata
Department. Never ivas promotion more
richly deserved. He left us with the good
will and gratitude of every man. By his kind
ness, integrity and impartiality he won our
esteem. May he prosper in his new field is
our fond hope. Until nature is lost in decay
and the moon turned to blood, this company
will hold in grateful memory and lasting grat
itude the name of John S. Morgan. With
this tribute to a good man, I close.
Yours, for the Flag, JUSTICE.

The following extracts from Itichtuond pa
pers of to-day have been received by the War
Department:
"FROM SOUTTISS'ESTEIiN VIEGINIA."
The Lynchburg Virginian has the following
additional in relation to the capture of the
Saltworks announced officially on yesterday:
"We had been led to hope that these im
portant works were safe, but the source from
which their reported capture comes leaves us
no room to doubt its correctness. They were
occupied by the enemy on Tuesday, the 20th
inst., and held by them" until Thursday, when
they retreated towards Bristol. We hear that
the place was held by about 300 reserves, un
der Col. Preston, the most of whom escaped.
"The works are reported to be but little
damaged, and •we understand that persons
who have visited them since their occupation
by the enemy think they can be put in work
ing order again by the first of February.l A
largo quantity of salt already taken out %vas
destroyed, and all the buildings on the place
were burned. Several pieces of artillery were
also captured by them, but they got but little
else of any kind. General Breckinridge was
at last accounts at Saltville,preparing to follow
the enemy in his retreat.
"Continued skirmishing with their rear
guard occurs. No further fighting has taken
place than that already reported. A gentle
man who passed over the-railroad-from. -Bris
tol to Glade Spring, after the enemy advanc
ed, says the bridges between these places are
sitbnrned, but the track is uninjured."

UMBER OF PRISONERS CAPTURED
FORTRESS MONROE, Dec. 27, P. M., t
VIA W.SEINGTON, Dec. 28.
I have just arrived here on the steamer
Santiago de Cuba, Captain Glisson, from off
Wilmington . The attack by our fleet on Fort
Fisher, commanding the entrance to Cape
Fear river, commenced at. noon on Saturday
last, the 24th inst.,
and continued throughout
the entire day. It was resumed again on
Sunday, and kept up with great -vigor all day.
Fort Fisher was much damaged. All the
barracks and storehouses belonging to the
work were burned by the explosion of our
shells, and the garrison of .the fortification
was driven to the protection of their bomb
proofs, the guns of the enemy scarcely ven
turing a reply to MIT well-directedhot.
A small portion of our troops' were landed
on the beach from the transports on Sunday
afternoon, and skirmishing with the enemy
ensued, our men behaving , with great gal
lantry, pushing up to Fort Fisher, and actu
ally entering the work. A rebel bearer of dis
patches, who was about entering the fort, was
killed by a. shot from one of our men, and
Lieutenant Wallen,
of the One Hundred and
Forty-second New York regiment, captured a
rebel flag from the outer bastion of Fort
Picker,
Our men also captured a whole battalion of
the enemy who were outside of their works,
but our forces were withdrawn froth the shore.
When the Santiago de Cuba left the scene
of operations the bombardment of the rebel
works was still continued by our fleet.
On Sunday the sailors from the Santiago de
cube captured the Pound Hill Battery of six
ty-five men on shore, and brought the whole
party off to the ships.
The torpedo boot was successfully exploded
on Saturday morning at two o'clock, but with
what result it is not known.
The weather has been the most violent ever
experienced off this portion of the coast. At
Newbern and Roanoke Island the oldest in
habitant state they never knew such storms to
occur as ha l ve lately been felt in this vicinity.
DESCRIPTION OP THE TORPEDO VESSEL.
The following description of the torpedo
boat, referred to in the above dispatch, was
furnished by our correspondent in one of his
earliest letters, but its publication withheld
for prudential reasons:
While the vessels which are to make the at
tack are about twelve miles from shore a ves
sel named the Louisiana, prepared for the
purpose, loaded with three hundred tons of gun
powder, is to steam rapidly in shore and beach
directly in front of Fort Fisher. The crew,
after she has beached, and the fuse has been
fired, are to take to their small boat and stand
out for the fleet, the fuse being so timed as to
permit sufficient time for the officers and crew
charged with this perilous undertaking to get
beyond the reach of the effects of the awful
explosion which must ensue, should the plan
prove a ; stwess.
The explosion of such a mammoth torpedo
—for the vessel will be in reality a torpedo on
a grand it is believed, produce
such a concussion as to greatly damage the
fort and paralyze the garrison. It is a ques
tion, hOwever, inasmuch as the fort is an
earthwork, whether the concussion resulting
from such an unheard of explosion will have
any serious effect upon ramparts so construct
ed. Ne doLibt if they were of masonry the
effect might, be counted upon with more cer
tainty. No doubt, however, it will at least
greatly "astonish the natives" in general in
that part of rebeldom, and the garrison in
particular, and unless they are something
more than militiamen, will cause a stampede
in, shore.
Meanwhile: the fleet with steam up and the
transports with troops are to be twelve miles
distant—the latter that distance up the coast
--and as soon as the explosion takes place
all will steam rapidly forward to the points
"designated in the chart plan furnished to the
commanders of the fleet by Admiral Porter.
The transports will land the troops at a point
up the coast as near as possible, and after the
fleet have silenced the fort march against it.
There is a small fort or water battery,
called Holf-Moon Battery, some three or four
miles above Fort Fisher, and this work will
probably first be silenced by the iron-clads,
and the troops landed there.
It appears now that the gunboat which was
supposed by the rebels to have grounded and
was blown up was not a regular Union gun
boat, but an old boat filled with gunpowder
and sent to Within three hundred yards of the
fort for the purpose of being exploded, in the
hope that the concussion would destroy the
foundations of the rebel works.
If the report of the explosion was heard at
Newbern, a distance of one hundred miles, as
reported, it will be very strange if no damage
was done to the fort. .
CINCINNATI, Dec. 29
The Wilmington Expedition.
WASHINGTON, Dee. 28.
It would seem to be a mistake, as reported
this morning, that the naval and military feet
has returned from North Carolina to Fortress
Monroe. •
The Navy Department has no intelligence.
but that one vessel only yesterday returned
to the latter place, bringing. dispatches from
Admiral Porter. The messenger has not yet
reached Washington.
It is ascertained from an authentic source,
however, under date of Fortress Monroe,
December 27th, that the powder ship was
exploded within three hundred yards of Fort
Fisher about 2 o'clock A. at on -the 24th
inst. , _
Later in the day Admiral Porter attacked
the fort and adjacent defences, and. renewed
the bombardment on Christmas day.
On each occasion we drove the reels from
their guns to the shelter of the bombproof, so
as to effectually silence their firing.
In a very few minutes after the frigates and
heavy ships got into position a detachment of
troops landed on Sunday afternoon .and skir
mishers pushed rip gallantly to the fort under
cover of our fire.
Some of the men actually entered the works
and brought off the flag. The .bombardment
by the fleet continued on Monday.
The Santiago de Cutoa, captured a company
of North Carolina soldiers in the outworks,
and brought _ them off. •

The following extracts from the Richmond
papers of to-day have been received by the
Department:
IMIEM!
"The latest official advices from Georgia in
dicate that Sherman has already followed up
the occupation of Savannah by sending a force
of cavalry,' artillery and infantry upon an ex
pedition whose destination can only be guessed
at from the direction in which it has moved.
These troops are reported to have gone to
wards the Altamaha river, and we shall no
doubt next hear that they have crossed that
stream and are moving to Southwest Georgia
in quest of the prisoners of war who were
supposed to be at Andersonville.
"Sherman's programme for his grand cam
paign northward appears to be no secret. He
will start from Port Royal and move straight
for Branchville—the point of junction be
tween the Georgia and Carolina railways—
and he thenproposes to follow the main line
of railroads towards_ Virginia, stealing and
murdering as much as he can by the way.
All very fine; but if Sherman proposes, Lee
disposes." EDWIN M. STANTON,
