TITV PITTgRITROI4 POt4sp Tt ( VSDAY MORNING, :T.A.NIYA.ItY Ne 18 114 fr:-: . ......-• - ... •• • CITY ELECTION The local politicians wt re quite tag yesterday, and we expect to have a con siderable vote polled today. The Demo cratic ticket is an excellent one, and should receive the enthusiastic support of the party. DURATION OF THE WAR On Christmas day, at a dinner given to the soldiers at STANTON Hospital, in Washington, the Secretary of War made a speech which he began as follows: '•1 hope that when the next anniversary of the day you are now celebrating occurs, this war will be ended, and you will have returned to your homes and your fire sides. This brief announcement, by the head of the War Department, appears to have answered as a text for the Abolition pa , pers to publish New Year dissertations, conclusively demonstrating the certain destruction of the rebellion, before the expiration of the present year. The Commercial comes in at the end, after all its coadjutors have spoken, and gives the weight of its authority to strengthen this opinion, so unanimously and confidently expressed. Allowing the rebellion to be crushed by the close of the present year, (and we do not see why the Abolitionists should desire to have it continued longer,) let us see the next step in the Abolition programme. Our readers, generally are well aware that the extreme radical element of the Abolition party, of which WENDED. PHII • LIPS is the exponent, controls the National Administration. It is true that Pinti.lPS does Lot attend Cabinel meetings, but he announces, from the stump, in advance the road which the Administration must tread. The only difference between him and those in power is, that be proclaims the radical policy somewhat too early to snit the policy of the President. It has been so heretofore, and it is but fair to infer that it will be eo hereafter. This being the case, what we are to have alter the rebellion is conquered: Prin.! ire, in his late addrees, thus announces: which is simply the agrianaiem of the South for the benefit of the slaves. He said: "I am to be the fool to no legal terms —the slave to no lawyer's precedents. The nation has robbed four milliots of men and their ancestors for seventy years. We might have been contented once to have clutched them, homeless, poor and naked, from the jaws of the lion, but we have ground that lion to powder, and to the slave belongs the land he has redeemed. This nation owes to the negro not only freedom, but land and education. [Ap plause] It is a debt which will diegrace us before the world if we do not pay it. It is the first longing of the negro. He knows what land means. The divisiou at the South is not between the white and black, but hetweenthe oligarchy that owns the soil and the people that range below herded black ant: white in one promis cuous vasealage. The negro has never heard of power except as associated will, land. The confiscation is a jewel of Con gressional poliey. - Not only freedom but land and educe tion must be secured to the slaves, 11111.1 what then? In order to meet the "unal terable rule of right," the slaveholdere of the South, who have been luxurating so extravagantly upon slave la' should be compelled, "for seventy years," to re verse positions with their boodmen. This would seem but even-banded justice, ac cording to Puti.i les' theory. But that fierce declaimer, in his zeal for securing land for those slaves, who have redeemed it, forget to inform his hearers when and how the redemption took place. All the blows dealt the rebellion have been given by the sturdy arms of white men, whose sinews were strengthened with the convie tion that they were fighting to preserve our nationality. To obtain territory for negro slaves was not the entertaiement to which the Administration invited the in. But although \VENDEt.t. Pni I.l.irs has been able to foreshadow the action of the Administration, he does not seem to know everything; especially is he ignorant of many things which are going on in the Confederacy. Three months since it was announced, that the Confederates had determined to arm their slciees to meet our white soldiers in the field; mid recent intelligence confirms the truth of the report. The Cinciu riati G'a . Lette, fierce Abolition organ, publishes a state ment of the rebels' designs, and vouches for its authority, It will be seen hy.tbe following extract from it that the negroes who are to be provided with "land and education,'' are now, perhaps in the field, fighting alongside of their masters, and welcoming our brave Union defenders "with bloody hands to hospitable graves." The correspon dent alluded to remarks: "We have from the most reliable in formation just received from Richmond, the following programme: Our inform ant occupied a-position that gave him an opportunity to see the rebel President often, and required him to be present at Cabinet meetings. They are determined to regain if possible, Kentucky and Ten. nessee—without these there clan be no Confederacy. It is the intention of the War Department, to conscript all able bodied persons, without regard to age or condition. Already it has begun, and men who have heretofore escaped the army, are now in the ranks. The case is desperate, and the leaders are aware of it. "Invalids, or those not absolutely dis abled for garrison duty will be there placed. Negroes who can be trusted will be armed and fight beside tit sir masters. They will not be trusted in companies or regiments, in the field. The forts wili be manned entirely with negroes, corn mended by white commissioned, and non commissioned officers. The negroes' prido will thus be appealed to, as he can fight beside his master. In many cases this will be effectual." "I SAY IT CONFIDENTIAI.I.I."—A. Bog ton merchant, distinguished for his wealth and liberality, had one striking peculiar ity. Whenever he made a statement, elt her oral or written, he was accustom• ed to add: "Coadentia,lly," or, "I say this in confidence." A friend of his had a dream, alter his decease, after this wise: He dreamed that he was dead, that he went to heaven, and soon came across his benevolent brother,w,4,.ktd preceded him to:the realms of bliss: —," he said, "am I alive or dead, and where am I?" "Yon must be dead," WBs the reply, "for this is heaven." "Well, friend —' " he continued, "how do you find things here?" "Why, to tell the truth, but I say it confidentially, it is not ex• aptly what I expected." " MAN proposes and God disposes," said a pious aunt to her over confident niece. "Let a man propose to me if he dare," was the response, "and I'll dispose of him according to my own views as he suits me."

A letter has also been received at the Navy Department from Europe relative to the same incident. We com bine the act ounts. In August last some officers and sailors H. 13. Pryde, Master's Mate of the Ta cony. and Sherman, an old United States sailor, imprisoned by the Yankee govern ment for refusing to fight against the South) came to an understanding that it was possible to get through the musket holes in the fort, and so escape. On the night of the 1• 4 111 of August the two sailors effected their egress from their cells, and having reached a little island a quarter of a mile off, got a boat and returned for the officers. Being observed, however, by the Beutiiiel, they were of liged to retreat, and next day capturing a small sloop, "in the name of the Coufederate States, - they sat sail, and reached the Bay of Fundy in eighth days, almost starved. and witnout having tasted water frir five days. The oflicere above mer.tioned got out ot their loom on the game night as agreed. Major Sanders WWI the largest of the four whc could be squer-y..d through with life lett. To the others of their room mates t was an absolute impossibility. They waited on the shore in vain for the boat near morning, when they were success ful in rir turning through the aperture to their quarters undiscovered. Some nights after the adventure was renewed. Alex ander and Thurston availed themselves of an old target, by which they reached the little island near. They, also, however, were obliged to give up the intention of returning to take off the others. Major Sanders, and Lieut. Bead, meanwhile, endeavored to get oft with planks and oil cans, which they had fastened-. together, but their means were insufficient. Near daylight they again essayed their return to the cell ; hut the plank by which they were seal; rig the wail to the loop hole, fif teen feel+ up, broke under Lieut. Read. The noise attracted the sentinel, and they were discovered. Thurston and Alexander were also re-captured off Portland and re turned to the tort. Upon refusing to give parole not to attempt to escape again, they were all four closely confined iii the casemates of ant tort, where they remain. The details of preparation for a corn pressive journey through a wry small of.ening--hy oiling, stai Cation, &c., for a week before hand—are very amusing. 1 hey got out . a rope, and returned by the plank. It was deemed so incredible that a man could get through these con tract ed apertures that Stanton sent orders In have the PAl , Vrilllel3l made by a hive Yankee Since this the musket holes have been divided by an iron bar. and a sentinel with a loaded gun walks under each one continually. In reference to the miscreant Harris, who betrayed M i.jor Sanders, and was pro moted for it, Dr. Freeman says he is uni• vers-slly dispised, even by the officers of the Yankee semen themselves, They call h in a doodle-dyed traitor.

Cotton and Tobacco in Florida. The Legislature of Florida passed an act to Finnish all persons planting and culti vating in the State of Florida over a cer tain quantity of land in cotton and tobacco during the continuance of the present war. This act limits the amount, of cotton that may be planted to one acre to the hand. and one quarter of au acre at tobacco. The penally far violation of the law is one thousand dollars for every acre over the amount limited. The act provides for the practical enforcement of this limitation. rfte Legislature failed co pass a militia bill. A verill's Raid—The Damage Done A correspondent of the E7lgtiirer, writ it trom Roanoke under date of December 2oth l says : "The loss of the government is heavy, consisting of a large quantity of bacon which had just been packed here, a heavy amount of corn, te., in the tithing-house, with some dour, a considerable amount of leather that had been accumulated for the use of the government workshops, with harness and other manufactured articles. some clothing, with pretty much all the wagons and teams belonging to the Quar termaster's Ifepartment at this place. “Tbe hiss of private property in the village and neighborhood is considerable. Some thirty or forty negroes were taken off, and, probably, 150 or 200 h orses, from Roanoke. and an equal number from Craig, exclusive of those taken belonging to the Confederates. Other species of property lost by the citizens was consider able in the aggregate, and in some cases, peculiarly annoying, especially to such as had hastily packed up their valuables, and sent them off by wagons that failed to es cape the vigilance of the enemy, or had sent them to the depot, where they shared the common fete of other deposits there. About 30,000 pounds of bacon was saved by being shipped before the enemy reach ed the depot." Rebel Aemonnt of the Assault upon Knoxville, A correspondent of the Augusta Con stitutionaligt writes an interesting deecrip tiun of the charge cf the Confederate troops upon the Federal works at Kuox• He says : To the left .pt Knoxville, upon a high hill, is a large dirt fort, mounting six guns, which commando all approaches to it for more than a mile. In its front and flanks was once a thick held of nines, which were cut down by the enemy, the tops falling in ill directions, making a mass of brileh and timber almost impaese Lie. In addition to this they had wires netted all around their works, and a ditch from four to six feet deep, corresponding with the regularity of the ground, the ex treme slope of the parapet making an acute angle with the fall of the ditch. Immediately iu their front, for two or three hundred yards, all brush and rub• high were removed, in order that their grape and canister might have a clear atveep at any attacking column. This fort, Bryan's, Humphrey's. and a part of Wal ford's brigades were ordered to assault at daylight on the morning of the :21th of November. Through this rugged field of obstacles, before day, Bryan's brigade felt its way, with many a fall and many a bruise, yet quietly, uncomplainingly, the men follow ed the dark figure of their leader guiding us through the gloom,to the line of sharp shooters stationed at the edge of the clear ing. Hero the command rested, waiting daylight. Each man pressed his cap more firml)-down upon his brow, and with lips compressed and stead last eye, waited for the word to move, whilst Generals Bryan and Humphrey glided noiselessly through their commands, carefully examining the ground before them. All was quiet as the grave. Suddenly the stillness was broken by the sharp crack of a Minie ride, when up, boys, charge!" was given by our commanders. The brave fellows, springing up with a shout, on they pressed to the tort through a murderous fire of shot and shell. Owing to the rain on the day before, and frost on the night of the attack, the earth would give way from under our gallant men as they climbed upon the shoulders of each other, endeavoring to reach the parapet, and down they would tumble into the ditch. Hand grenade after hand grenade was thrown upon them, and yet they Elba re mained climbing and falling tor over halt au hour, whilst the air sparkled with whistling fuses and incessant rolls of mus ketry from the walls. When finding all at tempts to scale the sides of the fort impos sible only one man, Sergeant-Mni dr Bat of the Fiftieth Georgia, reaching the top, he poor, fellow, was killed immedi ately,/ we slowly withdrew under a tern ble tire from the enemy. It was a sight long to be remembered to see Gen. Bryan at the head of the col umn, leading and cheering his men, giving orders in a calm and self-possessed tone.
