There is a rumor that our army is to winter at or near Warrenton. The Charleston Courier has bean tem porarily suspended. The Governor of Bouth Carolina urges the abolition of substitutes in the army. The Dublin fund for a Prince Consort memorial amounts to £5,000. Over 20 new Postoffice Saving Banks bayejust been established in England. It is Btated that 5,000 persons in Nor folk took the oath of allegiance in two days. The Catholics are about to erect in Springfield, Illinois, a convent to cost $60,000. Hon. J. M. Bates vras returned to the Confederate States Senate by the Legis lature oi Florida for six years. During nine months of the present year 30.861 bales of cotton have been exported from Wilmington, N. C. ■ We see an announcement of a nprfriage of a Mr. Greenback. Now look out for an issue of “legal tenders.” Counterfeit $5 ooteson the Union Bank of Philadelphia are said to be in circula tion. It is said that Rasaia has ordered a conscription of twenty men on every 10,- 000 inhabitants for the whole empire. Jonem writes to friend and closes by saying, “lam glad to bo able to say that my wife is recovering elowly.” At a spiritual circle the other day, a gen tleman requested the medium to ask what amusement was most popular in the spiri tnal world. The reply was, “Reading our own obituary notices.” Gen. Grant celebrated the 4th of July by taking Vicksburg, and appropriately observed thanksgiving by giving Bragg a thrashing. What is to be the programme for Christmas and New Year's? Moseby has offered $5,000 reward for the capture of a late member of his com mand, who is now acting as guido to the Federal forces stationed about Vienna Va. It is reported that letters have been re ceived from General Grant, which s:ate that it is against his wishes and consent that his name is so conspicuously brought forward insome of the New York journals for the Presidency. A very strong effort is being made npon the President for the.removal of Secretary Welles ; a large number of influential ship owners are in the movement, bat it is difficult to say whether or not it will be succeBsfnl. There isnotruthinthereport that Mex ican officers have come to the United States with a commission for purchasing commerce, and have sue ceeded in the object of their mission. The passport system is to be extended to Philadelphia and Boston. It does net require a passport from each individual, but the Marshal examines each vessel and requires all arms Ac., to be given np, when a general pass is given to the captain. On Wednesday last, a snow Btorm took place at Louisville, Ky., accompanied with heavy thunder and vivid flashes of lightning. The Louisville Journal says the shock of an earthquake was felt, shak ing some of the houses to their founda tions. A few mornings since we were relating to our family the fact of a. friend having found upon his doorstep, a fine little male infant, when one of the olive branches remarked: “Pa, d'ear, it’ll be his step sou, won’t it?” We th ß ught it would, decidedly. A Veterinary Surgeon died lately in the Jersey City Almshouse, from the bite of a si"k horse be was attending at the time. He exhibited all the marked symptoms of hydrophobia, and his physicians were nnanimoQßly of the opinion that his was clearly a caße of that disease. Geo, Fieubt, a sub-Lieutenant in the First Regiment of French Voltigenrs of .the Guard pd son of the eminent French - Gen. FiErriiY, has been convicted of mur dering his mistress in Paris and sentenced to military degration, to hard labor for twenty years, and to be under police su pervision for life. The Memphis Journal says that the printers of that city commenced at 11 o’clock on Monday of last week to orga nize a military company and before two in the afternoon they had swelled to over a hundred. This is what we call quick work, and don’t think it-was ever beat in any section of the country. The company was mustered in by Gen. Veatch, and we expect to see the printers in this, as they § are in everything else, the foremost in the ranks. A Washington letter to the New York Tr. fount gays that sh order was issued on Monday relieving Gen. Schcfikld from the command of the Department of the Missouri, andappointingGen. Roseciuns to the command of a new department, comprising all the territory included with in .the Department of the Missouri except] lEanshfCColorado, and the Indian terri tory, which are erected into a separate department nnder command of Gen. Cue tis. These changes, it is said, will be mitirely satisfactory to the ‘‘Radicals” in aifocmrf "‘and 3n Eanraa. The Administration majority in the ouse of Representatives voted, to a zzii&xzz -fessr gentlemen expect a decision adverse to its constitutionality or they do not. If they do not, it was wanton folly not remove he BtrODg feeling in : the ' public mind against the bill by producing an in dorsement of it from the highest judicial fionthcrity. If they do anticipate a decision adverse to the bill, their vote proclaims m utter mdxfference to the Constitution, amt a willingness to see it "laidon the shelf as a piece of waste parchment. THE PITTSBURGH POST: MONDAY MORNING, DECEMBER, 28, 1863. CONGREtS ADJOURNED Congress hue adjourned until after the holidays, having, after three weeks delib eration, succeeded iapassing a little bill appropriating $20,000,000 forbounties and pay for soldiers before the sth of January. The bounties'in question are $4OO for veterans, re-enlisting, and SJOO for others, which the War Depart ment had undertaken to pay under the last call of the President for :.tuo,ooo men. But even some of the Republican members did not quite relish this proceeding of the War Department; and consequently, upon mo tion of Senator Fessenden, a proviso was adopted that no bounty, except what is provided by law —which is $lO0 —shall be paid after the sth of January. By way, also, of counteracting the view taken by the War Department, and acted npoD, that the laud derived from the payment of commutation money was entirely at the control of that department, it was also de clared that it shall be paid treasu ry, to be drawn out only on requisition as in the case of other public moneys, though the money so paid is to be kept as a spe cial deposit, and iB appropriated as appli cable only to the expenses of the draft, and for the procuration of substitutes. We had almost forgotten the fact of Congress havingpaseed another resolution, which is calculated to instruct the people ao regards their duty as citizens. It de clares that “it is the duty of the people to render every aid in their power to the constituted authorities of the government in crushing out the rebellion.” After the Abolition majority in Congress shall have passed this resolution about a dozen times more, the people will, probably be taught their daty to their government. But it strikes us that the people understand their datieß much better than our congressmen do theirs. Their idea of supporting ‘‘the government,” is not the cheerful payment ot enormous taxeß, bHt it is to support the administration iu all its absurd aod ruin ous proceedings. GENERAL(OBCOBAH The late Gen. Corcoran, whose death, by falling from his horse, was announced m Friday’s paper, was ft much more im portant personage than the people, gener ally, wc-re awnre of. He was only known as the chivalric leader of the celebrated 69th regiment, which gained such undying laurels in their desperate fighting at the first battle of Bull Run. Bat Corcoran, it 866 ms, descended from a warlike ances try. He was of the celebrated Luca.s family, to which the great Sar fi n be longed, who fell at the head ol his army two centuries ago, at sho celebrated siege ot Limerick by William the third. In April, 1901, Gen. Corcoran went to the war in \ irginia, and was taken pria oner at the Bull Run engagement. B.; heroism in that engagement, and the iulre pidity of his command, arc still vividly remembered by the country. Taken to Richmond, and from thence to almost every government prison in tho South, hc was finally selected as one of the captives who should be executed it the Union authorities hung certain captured pirates. After refusing to accept release on condi ,, , o Ol LUK against the South, he was iu August, l-'-i’/j, released, and was soon after appointed Brigadier General, his commission hearing date from the battle of Bull Run. Upon his return from Richmond he was received with the most flattering ovations iu every Northern city through which he passed. He subsequently was ordered to Suffolk, where, in the numerous engagements and skirmishes fought in that section of Vir ginia, he again distinguished himself. Recently he haß been stationed in the vicinity of Fairfax Court House, near which place, it is stated, he received his fatal injuries. While stationed at Suffolk he had an unfortunate affair with Col. Kim bal, resulting in the death of the latter, but the verdict of the country was anani monß in favor of him whose sudden death we are now called to chronicle. PRESI DENT-MAHING. The Philadelphia Age, in speaking oi :he action of a Conservative National Convention recently held in that city and presided over by Hon. Ajios JECikdali., in reference to the next Presidency, says: The fact, however, of such a meeting taking place, at a time so abnormal in re gard to all political action as the present, cannot bat saggest reflections as to the position it is proper for a journal, which intends to be sincere and faithful, to as sume regarding the question which is the object of this meeting. The uncertainty which hangs over the honesty of the next Presidential election, the doubt which is entertained by many persona as to the continued existence of the elective franchise, renders it difficult to assume any policy or any position which mhy not bo altered by subsequent events. It Beems almost foolish to act now in mat ters of politics as we did when the regu lar order of this prevailed. Then, charn pionage, advocacy, conventions, nomina tions, canvasses and campaigns, were predicated on the knowledge that how ever improperly the candidates had been brought before the people, once there, there would be a bona fide choice in the people between the nominees, of which no power could deprive them. If, then, we had that positive certainty, which of old existed, there was to be an election for President in the fall of 1-SS4 that a real choosing by the people was to be permitted—we should feel at liberty, | as journalists of old did, to express some opinions ns to the considerations which shonld influence patriotic men in the very grave matter of the election of a Presi dential candidate. Bat if, as many honest men think, the fall elections of this year forbid ns to indulge in any such hope ; if we cannot shut our eyes to the 30,000 soldiers, whom Mr. BTAifTOK himself boasted of haying sent into-this State ; if we cannot foil to remember the crimes against the elective franchise of the peo ple of Maryland and Delaware—we wonld be doing ourselves, and the conservative citizens of onr State, injustice if we ap peared to do that in reality which we Were conscious was but a mockery. If tiie opinion of onr friends were ours, feat there would be no real choosing of a President by the people in the fell of 1864, but that the next occupant of that chair will be the nominee of the bayonet, we ahonld think that any party or organiaa tion of men, who put up a candidate to rnu against the nominee of the power which controls the arifiy, was assisting to delude the people of this country into a belief that they are still free. If this were the real state of things, any action that would enable the Republicans to go through the motions of an election, by taking any part in its forms, would give a color of right and appearance of truth and reality t-o such an awful crime against .our liberties as this would be, and would estop the injured parties from denying its legal effect. W e, however, cannot bring ourselves to this belief, even though circumstances do strongly incline to establish it. To lose faith in the virtue and love of liberty in the American people, is next to losing confidence in the Divinity. It has been all that has sustained the drooping and al* most despairing patriot for three long years, and we cannot yet distrust it. No matter what happens, never till the ac cursed sight of a recognized and accepted despot established here breaks on our eyes, shall we suffer our faith in that virtue to falter. We, therefore, look gratefully on these efforts of patriotic men to preserve us from final and entire destruction, and whether the result of their deliberations is, or is not, entirely consistent with that which we consider a sound policy should dictate at the present juncture, we cannot but feel that they are in sympathy with us on all material points, and that their pa triotic efforts merit the praise cf their fel low-citizens. 1 ' THE HEALTH OF THE SKCRETYBY OF WAR A Washington correspondent writes us that fears are entertained by the friends of Stanton that his health has yielded per manently to over exertion. The Secretary was very robust and vigorous when be took charge of his portfolio, and appeared the very picture of good health for a year at least, after the rebellion, but time, 07er work and harrassiog responsibilities will leave their mark. Xhe Republican press is very much exercised in relation to the temporary ab sence of senator White. I‘ is feared the Democracy will refuse to go over to the opposition>nd vote for the candiJatt a of fered by that party. There will be no trouble m eff.cting a speedy organization, unless the Republicans are disposed to be factious and assume a stand not warranted by representation. TRFTR WELL AKD BOLDLY EX I’fiLSKEI). Sfrticllon'ft Army Popnlari'y A e.hort time since, in that hot-bed of Abolition.sm. the Massachusetts Legisla ture, the subject of raising volunteers of the army being under consideration in the Senate*, Uon. \\ m. D. Swan, in the coun.p of b. 3 remarks cn the question said By-and bye, in the wisdom of the ad ministration, it was seen tit to divide the Army ot \ ir-inia into fonr parts and then to remove Gen. McClellan. Now mark the result. At the close of a pleasant summer b afternoon, when the Army of the Potomac was ooder the command of •KHW {Wte’B Vslates and Gen."Haiieek riding down to Gen. McClellan's tent, and asking him ii ho would again take command of the Army of Virginia. He ’ aic, ‘ under certain conaitione." Ihe conditions were complied with, and, sir, when the news was promulgated ir. camp that he had consented to take the command, the soldiers coming back "wan worn and weary," bogged and pleaded to he led back to mpet the enemy. I give namee when I quote conversation. The President, in the presence of Hon. J. H i\W a * c !-“-* 8W evPD ' l ’B a after that, said; ihe politicians tried to prevent my re appointing Gen. McClellan. Bni I knew that his presence was worth any ten Gen etyls, if I could compress them all into one.' And it was. He re-organized his forces, and yon will remember the battle of Autietatn and its resnlts. The politi cians were still at work, and last autumn, | a year ago, afier the administration had been deleatcd in all the principal loyal Slates, McClellan was removed. Perhaps the Democratic victories in Pennsylvania and New York showed that it was necea eery to remove him. And I now eay, in ail siucerty, and I hope Senators will hear me withont any party feeling, that nthe telegraph wires conld today bring the information that Mr. Stanton had re signed, and that Gen. Halfeck had beeD removed, and that Gen McClellan was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the forces raised and to be raised, the high ways and by-ways would "swarm with volunteers" going to fight the battles of their country. Senators know it to be true Repudiation, The New York papers seem anxious to destroy the credit of the Government, and the fact that such views as they ex press can now obtain a hearing, argues badly for the future. The New York Times, for example, undertakes to ex pose the financial “delusion’ 1 that— “A nation can pledge its whole property for the payment of a large debt, and that such a pledge is a good and a substantial security. Nothing has been more com mon here, aj well as at the South, than to see 111 print elaborate summings up of the value of the whole real and personal es tate OI the citizens of the United States followed by an assurance that this was the exact amount of the fnnd on which the Government was at liberty to draw tor the expenses of the war, or of anv other undertaking that public liberty or security might require, “If any one were to assure us gravely that it this city, for instance, ever got so deeply in debt that it could not meet its bills, the citizens would all sell their houses and goods, , hand over the proceeds to the treasurer, and begin life anew, who would believe himl Who does not know perfectly well that they would let the municipality repudiate a dozen times over sooner than submit to any B uch surrender of their property? We see every day proofs of the wideness of the interval which separates us from any such heights of public spirit. M Aud agaiu: “The supposition that either single Stalls or cities, or individual, should dis play this nice sense of honor, would be natural, simple and ordinary, compared with the supposition that a whole nation shonid hand over to its creditors even one quarter of its possessions. Bn* nobody that lends money to a Govern ment is ever such a simpleton as to ex pectaoythmg of the kind. The victims) ot the hallucination are generally found, I as might be expected, amongst the more ! assume and enthul »Mtic of the borrow j ers. ft hat a Government is able to I dlh! ge / 0r ( lhe r ® dem P‘i°n Of any pnblic I debt, far from being the whole real and personal estate of the conntiy, i 8 simply I a moderate percentage on tbe annual in-) come realised from that real and per I wnal estate. More than this is sure, in the long run, to bring bankruptcy and repudiation on any country i n the world. “In short every financier who istraes notes based, not on what the nation is likely to pay audcan pay without utterly impoverishing itself, but on its whole property or a large part of its proper# U either a very great Bimpleton or a very great knave.” When it is remembered that experience *bowa that real estate in this country is practically unavailing aa a basis for taxa tion, and that oar debt most now nearly equal the value of all the personal prop erty in the free States, the effect of such an argument at once becomes apparent. But the Herald, in its money article of yesterday, is etill more frank. After al luding to Mr. Chase a pretended anxiety to return to specie payments, it refers to the experience of England after the Na poleon Wars, when the interests of the commercial and industrial classes were sacrificed to carry outthe designs of those who represented the moneyed and landed interests, and it adds: Mr. Chase may attempt to re enact the rofe of the English aristocracy in the to 1315 at the expense of the stock jobbers and contractors who have been euricned through his blunder mg financial policy; but if the matter be left to the people until the war is over the work can be performed with much greater facility. UnlikeEnglaud, the Government here is in the hands of the working classer, who have no direct interest in the public debt; and when the financial obligations of the country become onerous upon them virtual repudiation will be an undertaking quite easy in its performance, by elevating men to office who are willingto do the bid ding of their constituents. There would then be no difficulty in the way of an im mediate restoration of the specie basis, as our State institutions have always in their vaults a sufficiency of coin to war rant a resumption at any moment.” This is a very insiduouß doctrine. He must be willfully blind who cannot see that we are gradually approximating to a condition in which the cry ot anti taxation would have a -terrible potency, and ae we go on adding nearly a thousand millions of dollars a year to onr indebtedness, the danger becomes more and more imminent. Instead, therefore, of Bar- Tendering ourselves to passion and fanaticism, it is our plain duty to bestir ourselves to bring this frightful war to an end as speedily as pos Bible, and i n the mean while, to insist that Congress shall impose such taxes as will raise a revenue somewhat more nearly commensurate with our expenditures than it has yet been. If we are not wise enough to use a little of this sort of pru dence, it needs no prophet to foretell what is betore us.— Aqe.
