CtOSHING BLOW.
Prciai the commencement.of the rebel
lion,ittitil the late disaster at Fredericks
burg, there has been scarcely a day that
the radical grails throughout the country
havejtlt confidently predioted-a crushing
blow ,e-rebels. These crushing blows,
liwAr:er, have generally come from the
wrongirside. The first and most dins
troustofthem was President Lincoln's in

-zerference with IdeClellan's campaign

repliekesfollows, onliie 24th of May last:
Hoo..F r M. Stanten,-Seereldry of War
Thellresident's order-has been received
and is in process of execution. This is a
blow to us.
' Isms . IttiDowELL,
Major General
Whetlier the blow was a crusher or not
our reeiiers are aware. Thiswas the time
that thelAdministration imagined that they
had military experience!, enough to com
mand thi) armies themselves. The Presi
dent,#erefore, issued his orders fromthe
White 41ouse, and the one to which the
above ie a reply was the commencement of
the Sams of crushing disasters which have
since followed.
- -
We =ai l know the crushing blow dealt
upon qe . n. Pope; he was chased clear out
of l'atinia by an army which McClellan
had p*ocusly fought in their entrench
ments for seven days with inferior num
bers. After Pope's disaster. McClellan
Was caßed upon to again take command;
he ditiiin, and ill a few days drove the ex
ultant 1 'rebels out of Maryland and Penn
sylvatt,it, Shortly after he fought the great
hattleictf Antietam and was again victori
ous: an d shortly after these unequalled
and bri*nt exploits,and while in themidst
of arratetnents fora vigorous push to
wards A ichmond, another " crushing
blow " was experienced by . his sudden re
moval,tio m his command. And . now, af-'
ter six Areeks' preparation, after MeClel
taecriiiiirte-retesrowevamit,usi•...
forwar4d until Burnside desired no more,
another: l i title is fought, which has proved
t n
the moe disastrous one for our arum since
the wa...ommenced. This is all the re
sult of ii i blundering set of conceited poli
ticians ittid charlatans in Washington City.
Gen. she and.° ert. Burnside are no more
to blatrie for these "crushing blows" than
any of Ftheir subalterns ; they but obey
orders, 'iiisued from the Capitol, and are
not to hi l ame if they prove failures. Let
the pciple look to the War Department
and to Om. Halleck ; they are the parties
responsible for our disasters, and not the
poor, victimized othcerg° upon whose
shouldeOt these fnuctionaries try to heap
the odic , n of their own blunders.

I DESTITUTION.
The Price of whisky in the Smith, has
gone upl to a fabulous price, " fifty cents
a nip." IThe Augusta, Georgia, Sentinel,
descantiiig upon •this lamentable condition
of affairs} in its locality, endeavors to be
funny coOr it, but its apprehensions are
visible every line. It says :
"Nonhi but, a Congressman or a Major.
General can afford to get drunk at present
prices. Any poor man who made himself
a. toper for lack of sense will have to be
come soher for a luck of cents."
If thisqaecourd be true we take it for
granted that Georgia will secede from the
bogus Confederaci at an early day. The
blockade has cut off her usual supplies of
stimulating heveragetr; rind Web doubtless,
been Mammas of inducing Jeff. Davis to
go Soutti in the tope of preventing a
whisky itti
urrection. In the early days of
our Rep
, lie, the reader will remember
that theasiell-heads -of Western - Pennsyl-
vanhs atO Gen. Washington mneletrouble
about th 4 very question of whisky; so
eraspers4dwere they as to raise the stand
ard of revolt against the general govern
ment atull defy creation interfere with
their inall nable right of cheap potations.
"The ambler second- thought," 'however,
prevailedH and fratricidal war, in which
much blood but more whisky might have
been spilled, was happily postponed by
mutual cdricessions and a liberaltiesire for
cornpromlie. Perhaps this sudden rise of
red eye in Georgia and other , Southern
localities tle the true eauselorlut recent
propositio4s for peace. This point was
not touched by John Wesley Greene in his
inlerviewiivith the President, but we all
know that diplomatists always keep back
their , real iintentions and desires, during
the earlY)etages of negotiations. -Gov.
Letcher, who is said to be never sober,
ought to know something about this busi
ness, and lif the correspondence between
Jeff. Daviliand John Wesley was publish
ed, we will venture to say that it would
prove that the scarcity of Bourbon and
Monongahela in the Southern States is
the true cease of rebel uneasiness. Here

SPEAKER OF THE NEXT
cortGaEss.
The Democracy of Ohio are claiming
the Speaker of the House of Representa
tives, and if our own State presents no
- candidate, we have no objection to the
prize being given to the indomitable Back•
eyes. Hon. George H. Pendleton, of
Cincinnati, is prominent for this position.
A cotemporary says : •
. "Thus far it seems- conceded that the
great State of Ohio should be honored
with that officer—an honor she has fairly
earned. And it seems to us that there
would be ayeculiar fitness in the setection
of the Hon. George H. Pendleton, of that
State, for this high, honorable and in
fluential position, he being a fair represen
tative of the great conservative Democracy
which swept the Northern States at the
late elections.
- .
Ma. EDITOR :-I find the following corn
plimentary notice of our worthy citizen,
Gen. G. W. Cass, in the Beaver 'star, one
of the most reliable Democratic papers
in the State. Yon will confer a favor on
many of your readers by publishing it in
the Post. Gen. Cass, wherever known, is
highly spoken of and there can be no
better man placed before the people of the
old Commonwealth: unexceptionable in
every relation of life and reliable in all
things; just the man for the times when the
State requires a man of his sterling integ
rit7 and great administrative abilities to
bring it back to the palmy days of the old
and true Listmocracy. The people will
drive from place. and power those who
usurp power to destroy the Constitution.
The tables will be turned on them as it
were on the'money-changers of old. K.
GOVERNOIt.
As thetime ia rapidly drawing near when
the People will' be called upon to nominate
candidates for the various State offices to
be filled next fall, it may not be consider
ettpremature to speak, even at this early
day, of the importance of the next elec
tion and our duty in the nomination of
candidates. The "sober second thought"
of the people which so happily gave the
victory to the Democratic party last fall,
must not be permitted to give way again
to the tide of fanaticism , whose brief tri
umph has brought upon us so much hu.
mihation and disttess. We must gnarl
well the avenuee.to power, and 'ace that
our liberties and all that we hold dear are
.t.__again imperilled by the success of
those who would strike down our rights by
a single blow. And, in order that our
triumph may be permanent, it will be
necessary for the officers whom we elect
to be models of patriotism and viitne. A
strict and comprehensive system of reform
should be instituted, and, while avoiding
the errors and highhanded proceedings of
the Republican party, care should be ta•
ken not to do any act inconsistent with
the highest sense of duty and right.
For Governor,. we want a man of broad
and exalted views on all que,tions of pub
lic policy; a man of unusual administra
tive ability and skill in business affairs;
and, enperadded to all this, we want a
man of unblemished character for hones.
integrity and faithfulness in the dis
charge of all his duties. Believing him
to possess all these requirements, we sug•
gest to the citizens of our own section and
of the State at large, the name of George
W. Cass, of Allegheny, as a suitable per.
son for election to the gubernatorial chair.
His administrative and financial ability
are sufficiently attested by his successful
management of the affairs of the Pitts
burgh, Ft. Wayne and Chicago- Railway
while his honesty and integrity are well
known to all with whom he has been asso
ciated in business relations. He is a
sterling Democrat and would, without
doubt, bear the standard of our party on
ward to assured success
Address of Gen Dix
Gen. Dix has issued an addiess to the
inhabitants of Norfolk, Princess Anne,
Nansemond and Isle of Wight counties,
Va., defining the regulations which will
hereafter govern trade, and declaring that
during the period of five months, in which
the authority of the government has been
re-established in this region, order and
quiet have been maintained. The general
adds:
"In the cities of Norfolk and Pcttits•
month, and their, immediate vicinity, be
tween three and four thoueandadnlt males
have taken the oath of allegiance, repre
senting, with their families, at least two
thirds of the entire population. 'That
th ere are many more of you ready and
willing to return tsit,your allegiance to the
Union, I do not doubt, and I avail myself
of the occasion to urge you not to delay
further this act of duty."
The address concludes with an emphatic
declaration that the cities of Norfolk and
Portsmouth will never be surrendered to
the insurgents; that the government of the
UnitedStateswillmaintaiultheir possession
at all hazards, and that ample provision
will be made for the protection of the in
habitants from external violence and for
the preservation of the domestic peace.
What are We Fighting For, Then?
Mr. Thad. Stevens, in the course of the
debate upon the Western Virginia subject,
disclosed the cloven footof Abolitionism
thus:
"With his consent, the Union could nev
er be restored as it was under the Consti
tution as it is, with slavery."
So, we see, then, we are to fight, Nox
fdr the old Union, as it was, nor' the old
Constitution, but for the new Union,
"Of the Free White States, North,
with Negro States South."
We are not in that fight now. It is
quite time for any sort of a peace, if the
programme of the Chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee to the programme
of the Administration.
This may be regarded as 'official:—
Hereafter, let it be understood, then,
that Republicanism is carrying on the war
for the "negro only"—not for the white
man—for the Abolition of Slavery—not
for the Constitution or. the Union. The
debate is to be continued. The public
will not regret it—whether Western Vir
ginia is admitted or not—if it only serves
them to unmask, as it is unmasking the
real designs of the Republican leaders.—

Loam from Foreign Capitalists
It is gratifying to know that our govern
ment has had proffers of loans from capi
talists of ' a number of the countries
of Europe. The fact, which we obtain
trom a source commanding our fullest
confidence,. tends to show, better than
almost any other manifestation, the True
light in which we are viewed, and - the pur
poses of the European courts. The bank
era of the European capitals. have long
been proverbial for their tar seeing saga
city, and for their success in ol taimng in
advance of 'others accurate information of
the purkses'Of their raters. -
At thifiane:;sime that the above is true,
I equal

has beereslibiirea for a loan by the United
States authorities, but has scoured in
vain.
For the Pas
Extortion.
From the Richmond Enquirer, reo.'lotb
In an editorial on the necessity of redu
cing prices, the. Enquirer remarks:
The extortion of some of our shoema
kers exceeds that even of the cotton and
woollen manufacturers. For example; for
putting on a pair of half soles we have
known $lO to be demanded. A half-pound
of leather at $1,60 per pound sufficed;
leaving nine dollars and a quarter as the
demand for work that was but. recently
done for forty cents. Such extortion de
,
serves -hanging.
But after all the chief distress of the
country and peril to the cause - result from
extortion in the products of the farm.
This is not excused by the high prices of
the merchant's goods. These are, indeed,
very high but the farmer is not obliged to
use many of them. If, when he pays four
prices for a bunch of cotton, he ,puts four
prices on his wheat and corn, heis'ati im
mense gainer, because he sells so much
more than he buys. As for that large
class whose business is such that.they have
nothing of either sort to sell, the farmer
combines with the manufacturer to grind
them between the upper and the nether
millstones.
The Government mast arrest, all around,
these enormous extortioners if possible..
The Government cannot pay the prices
demanded for army subsistence of all sorts
without overwhelming us with debt. It
must pay a fair price, but: it should pay no
more. . , . • •
The. Safety and welfare'of all depends
upon the applicatioti of such' a.rule to all.
It will be terrible to allow • the ship to
wreck because the crew are gambling for
the cargo.
Southern Currency at the North.
From the Riohmond Enquirer, Dec• 9 .
A gentleman just from the United States
informs us that the notes of Georgia, Ala
bama, North Carolina and South Carolina
banks are at , a discount of only fife per
cent,, and that Virginia bank notes are
from fifteen to twenty per cent. discount.
This is a great improvement on fifty and
sixty per cent. discount, and indicates that
a feeling of early peace is entertained by
the brokers of the United States, the beet
barometers of national storms.
Our.informant says that he was informed
that .Confederate notes would the at about
the same discount, of .five per cent., if
they codhibe dealt in.
Frederlicksbur Nr
The condition of this once happy and
beautiful Virginia town must excite the
sympathy of every Southern heart. It
was the home of Washington in childhood,
,the home of that mother whose elevated
(+erect .r and wise training prepared the
Father of his Country for thegreat part he
played in human affairs. It may be that
the home in which she lived, and in which
F 11.1 . trained her illustrious son for his lofty
mission, that the very monument erected
to her memory, have'been demolished by
the cannon of a people who owe to Wash
ington their freedom and independence!—
The town itself, though without 'commer
cial importance, has always been remarka
ble for the intelligence, refinement and
moral elevation of its community. We
have never known a town so free from the
usual vices of towns, or more distinguish
ed for its hospitality and household vit.- .
tues. Exile, desolation and ruin are the
fate with which such a town has been 'vis
ited by this fiendish invasion, whilst the
Northein cities, reeking with moral.cor
ruption, are exuberant with pleasure and
gaiety. Washington, the central fountain
of all the bloodshed, misery and crime of
this inhume; war, is said to be the scene
of extraordinary festivities, whilit inno
cent Southern cities are clothed in mourn
ing and tribulation. But there is justice
in Heaven, and. although it may be long
delayed, it will come at last, and . virtue be
triumphantly vindicated, and vice receive
its recompense.
The Small Pox in Richmond
'1 hie loathsome disease has appeared as
an epidemic in Richmond. The Examiner
says :—Though from time to time we have
heard of this disease, first at "one military
hospital and then at another, it was only
within the present month that it has made
its appearance among , citizens in private
houses. But, considering the constant
visitation of our ladies to the sick in the
hospitals, it could not be expected that.
the general public could long escape
contagion. We were, therefore, not sur
prised to learn yesterday that a number of
etizens, in various parts of the city, were
taken down with this and kindred diseases.
The small pox, there is no longer a doubt,
now prevails among us an an epidemic.—
The virus is in the air we breathe, and,
the chances are that all personti not prop
erly fortified by vaccination against its
approaches, will sooner or later be affect
ed. It specially behooves allpersons in
this 'city, who have not attended to the
duty of vaccination, to do so at once. A
single day's delay may be fatal.
The City Council passed a resolution
looking to the removal beyond the city
limits of all. ersons infected, and the pre
vention in future of their introduction
into the city by the Confederate authori
ties.
The Yankees at Galveston
We learn that the Yankees have not
Fuceeeded in taking possession of the city
of Galveston,and that they are sitting still,
with their double-shotted guns pointed at
a peacable people, not daring to more.
Five miles West of the town is the rail
road bridge, connecting the island with
the main land. Our forces hold the bridge
with batteries on both sides, and are in
full possession of the island itself. Our
scouts scour the city whenever they please

PHILADELPHIA, December 17.—The New.
York Times publishes the following ac•
count of the withdrawal of our troops from
Fredericksburg :
The movement of the army on its with.
drawal tiom Fredericksburg to the north
bank of the Rappahannock began at dark
on Monday night, and was auccessfetily ac
complished before daylight next morning.
.All the sick and wounded were remove&
during the day to the hospital tents on this
vide, with the apparent purpose on the
part. of Gen. Burnside of renewing the en
gagement on the afternoon of that day.
Those moat seriously wounded were con
veyed on stretchers and in ambulances,
while every one able to do so walked
across.:—The middle pontoon bridge was
chiefly used that being more out of range
of the enemy's batteries at the lower part
of the town. •
Gen. Burnside inspected the position of
the troops' in the afternoon in the town,
and was greeted with cheers which must
have been heard distinctly within, the
enemy's lines.
Activity throughout every department
indicates that a battle was imminent.
The Irish brigade assembled in and
around the theatre, where the cere
mony of presenting to it a set of beautiful
colors, just sent from New York city, was
gone through with, Gen. Meagher making
an address.
The enemy's batteries kept up a regular
'fire upon the tipper crossing in order to
retard the passage of the troops. The .
suigeons were ordered to be in readiness
to receive and care for a large 'number of
additional wounded, and red flags were
displayed on the tops of many of the
large houses in town, which were to be
used for temporary hospitals.
The withdrawal of our forces from
Fredericksburg had, however, been deter
mined on in a counsel of all the corps com•
manders during the day. It was regarded
as a perilous undertaking, but one that, if
successful, would rescue the army from
the necessity of risking another battle,
with the prospect of accomplishing little
except the destruction of valuable lives.
The troops had received no intimation of
their having to retreat, and had laid down
to rest upon their arms for the night.—
The order was then given for them to fall
in. Many supposed it was for a night as
set& upon the enemy's works, and were
not undeceived until they found them
selves upon the rontoon bridges actually
returning across the stream
A heavy gale of wind, which blew all
sound away from the rebel lines, greatly
facilitated the movement.
The bridges were covered with earth to
deaden the sound of the moving artillery,
ands , dark night hid every object from
view. Gen. Franklin's Grand Division,
oecupyinethe extremeleft, began to move
asilCpn as it Wius dark, - and the right 'and
centre; of Gene. Sumner and Hooker,took
up the line of-march almost immediately,
moving in good order, but silently, from
under the very gnus of the enemy.
All three of the crossings were used,
making six bridges. No accident of con
sequence occurred. The troops obeyed
with•alacrity every order, and waited with
patience their turn to cross. rise artil
lery and infantry alternated in moving
columns very much in the order in which
they went into battle. Many officers and
soldiers expressed great regret at being
withdrawn - from before the enemy, saying
that they would have preferred dying in
front of. the rebel batteries; nevertheless
every one acquiesced in the wisdom of the
movement. Few only of the wounded are
believed to have been left on the field
within reach of the enemy's ride-pits.
Two -brigades belonging to Gen. But
terfield's corps occupy the town as ad
vanced pickets. Our artillery, placed on
the hither bank of the river, will co-oper
ate in keeping possession of the town.
The movement from beginning to end,
was a complete success, and the various
commands returned to their former en
campments to repose. At sunrise on
Tuesday morning our heavy guns were
opened on the rebel batteries, but elicited
little response.
NASHVILLE, December special to
the New York Tribune states that Lieut.
Col. Ducat, of Gen. Rosecrans' staff, who
was sent out to ascertain "the facts con
cerning the violation of truce, reports that
the flag had returned to the rebel encamp.

captured our men. Some'firing occurred,
and a few are reported as dead and woun•

Morgan was promoted Major General
yesterday by Jeff Davis. The latter, in
his speeches, appealed strongly for the de

Rosecrans had been superseded by Gen,
McCook.

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.—The New York
Herald says it is but just, perhaps, to Gen.
Burnside to say that the advance move.
ment upon Fredericksburg was not under.
taken in accordance with his own judg•
ment, but was peremptorily ordered by the
military Authorities in Washington,
who,
of• course, are alone responsible for the
result. It is stated upon reliable anthori.
tY that the rebels sent a notification to our
army on Sunday that they intended to
shell the town, and requested that our
wounded should be removed.
