Flays. said that it men should rise from the dead and read their epitaphs, some of them would think they hsd rt into the wrong grave. No letter from Gen.

The total amount of cnton which has arrived at New Orleans since September let exceeds sixteen million (idlers. Be fore the war this sum vculd have covered 400,000 bales. The Methodist Episcopal Church paid, Et ' few days since, 822,797,43 to realize $19,• 698,15 in sterling money, to send to their missions in China, India, and other coon tries. A call has been issued for a meeting of * the National Democratic Committee in New York on the 12th inst. to fix the time for the meeting of the Democratic Convention to nominate car.didats for the Preaidential election. The Simian Government have corn iteoced putting up telegraph wires from St. Petersburg to the month of the Amcor, a distance-45f about 12,000 miles, which is expected to be completed by the middle of next year. The United States Govern ment are to connect with this line, and so by a circuit of 20,000 miles, reach Eng land. The Richmond Enquirer, JEFF. DAVIS immediate organ and unquestioning ad herent, has lately given up ali attempts to put a good face on the Confederate con• dition, and upon the ground, perhaps, that desperate diseases reqiiire desperate remedies, tells the rebels that unless a good many things (quite beyond the Con• federate power to do) are done their case ho peless. The fact is indisputable that the ineen• tive talent employed on the radical re publican press is greater than that en gaged in supplying the world with yellow literature. It is like reading a chapter in "GULLITER'S Travels, - or, barring the difference in style, like devouring one of Comes Ledger stories, to read the radical papers "about these days." LINCOLN is the hero and Strmotra his enemy. On the 18th ult., a fight occurred near Fort Gibson, in the Cherokee Nation, he tween one thousand rebels under QueN• TRSLL, and about six hundred Federals under Colonel PHILLIPS, of the Indian brigade, resulting, after an engagement of several hours, in the defeat cf the form er, who were scattered in all directions, leaving fifty killed and wounded on the field. The Federal loss is said to have been small. The Louisville Journal says "Of all the border alaveholding States—nay, of .all the slaveholding States, for that matter —Kentucky is the only one which has maintained her political integrity unbrok• en and unspotted. Among the States of theSouth,Kentneky stands in glorious sol•. itnde as the unbending adversary of both secessionism and abolitionism. She alone has not bowed her head to either of these twin idols of the enemies of the Union." The sturdy and stately Journal of Corn• wierce of New York is not without a spice of humor. In replying to the assertion in the New York Tribune, that it was its "firm conviction that at least three•fourths of the charges hurled at the President by Democratic newspapers were baseless, wanton, wicked libels," the Journal says here is a tacit admission "that about one fourth of the charges of mismanagement and intermeddling are true ; and if one fourth or one-tenth of all that has been alleged against hie administration be true, there cannot be an honest man in the land who will not pray for a change." THE PITTSBURGH POST: TITURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 7, 1864, RECONSTRUCTION BEGINNING In yesterday's Post we alluded to a mixed meeting of whites and blacks, held in New Orleans on the 18th of last month, to take measures for bringing Louisiana back into the Union. According to Pres ident LINCOLN'S plan of restoring the se ceded States—permitting one•tenth of each to control its action—Louisiana will have to muster but 4,060 votes. This number can, of course be easily obtained; hut whether they will be able to keep con • trol of the State and direct its destinies without the aid of Federal bayonets, is quite another and a very different ques tion. It is an easy matter to manufacture election returns, especially where there are military law, and soldiers to superintend the voting; but whether such appliances are either intended, or calculated to re store peace in the seceded common wealths, no person can for a moment be. lieve. In Florida, too, we see that the work of reconstruction has commenced. That State at the last Presidential election poll. ed 14,847 votes, one-tenth of which is 1,485. An Abolition correspondent of the New York Evening Post, writing from St. Augustine in Florida, states that a meeting was recently held in that an• cient town on the 19th alt, at which reso lutions were adopted favoring a State Convention on tue Ist of March next, for the purpose of amending the Consti tution so as to abolish slavery and return to the Union. A committee was appoint ed to carry out the plan. The writer sap the Union sentiment throughout the State is strong, and urges the Govern , merit to send a feu troops and make all things sure. Refugees are coming in every day, who report great disaffection on the part of the people, who have sworn to re sist the execution of an order from BRAGG's army for a large number of cat tle. They are also determined that con. ecriplion shall proceed no further, and beg for arms and ammunition, which, if supplied them, they think will enable them to defend them against all force the Confederates will send to oppress them. The calling upon the Government, by this meeting in St. Augustine, for "a few troupe to make all things cure," explairie how the one tenth of a State is to keep the other nine tenths in subjection to the laws, It means nothing more nor leee than the military subjection and occupa tion of the seceded States. Instead of this plan of the President's bringing our troubles to a close, it will only augment them. It is true that the military power of the rebels may be broken; but imagine the force necessary to keep the nine tenths from rebelling against a few Aboli• Lion squatters, who are now taking advan tage of the President's proclamation, in the hope of, not only securing Southern plantations, but of being also protected in their enjoyment by the military power of the Government. This plan is a plausi ble excuse for wholesale plunder by Abo lition adventurers, whose idea is to be protected in their operations by regi ments of manumitted slavetp, who with arms in their posseasion would be but tools to be used against their former 131118- tare. The present condition of Poland is happiness, compared to that of the South, under the management of these radical adventurers. The game now is to raise an army of 800,000 blacks: with sack force, scattered throughont the South under the command of fanatical. :indica Live and revengeful leaders, one can scarcely conceive the horrors to which the Southern people would be subjected. And this is the view taken by the Southern people; hence their determination, to more determined res stance. The Admin istration having openly proclaimed the contest to be for Abolition, has discour aged the friends of the Union in every lo cality. They see nothing in the future but continued blood, carnage and death, while the President's p lan of reconstruc tion is considered bat a crafty scheme to make the seceded States. even while in rebellion, subservient to his purposes to retain the Presidential chair, One-tenth of each, casting its electoral votes for one, who had no electors in them at ail, at the last National election, is a 'queer way to induce the masses to return to their allegiance. This and this only is the true meaning of the President's plan of re constriction RENTIICHY The Philadelphia Press (remarks the Louisville Democrat) maintains that the policy of the Administration has done it-Linens' , good. It has redeemed several States, and amongst the rest Kentucky. The cause of the Union owes more to Kentucky than Kentucky owes to the Ad• ministration. Indeed, she is for the Union in spite of the Administration, the every step of which has injured the cause. We suspect the same is true of Maryland and Mis souri. There is a peculiar way of getting votes that counts in appearance; and a policy of exacting oaths and counting them elements of loyalty, that may flatter the vanity of the radicals with the show of success; but these radicals ought to know how little they themselves care for oaths, and to recollect that other people may partake of the infirmity. The policy of the Administration has not made a single Union man that we have ever seen or heard cf. It has dis couraged and disgusted thousands. It has not made Disunionists of many in the border States, because the people have as much interest in the Union as AMU. HAM LINCOLN. They are for the Union, always have been, and no thanks to this Administration, which is generally con• eidered one of the chief obstacles to a Union of these States To snow how much of the vote of each State in rebellion will be necessary to form the one tenth required for the forma tion of legal State Governments under the President's proclamation, the follow ing table is given Total vote No. re• in 1860. glared. 90,357 9.031 64,053 5.06 States.

BOHRARDRUNT 0 • CHARLESTON How the Union Army Spent Christmas —kiontsarement or the City—D e- Pit ruin' ve Coutigration—The Fight in Stono inlet, are. We have some additional interesting news from Charleston. A correspondent of the Herald, in his letter dated Folly Island, December 20, relates the follow ing in relcttcn to the bombardment of Charleh:on Christmas morning : Mow Vfe Eatertained the Charleston ians. A' ebout one o'clock in the morning our rifles on Curnmiugs Point opened on the city of Charleston, rudely disturbing the slumbers of its virtuous citizens, and doubtless giving rise to the belief that brave old Santa Claus had paid them a midnight visit, with a battalion of aids, bearing all sorts of suspicious gifts, which he distributed rapidly but not noiseless ly in private residences, and among the warehouses, and among the silent and deserted etreeta, kicking up such a rum pus as has not before been witnessed in that beleaguered stown. The firing was quite rapid, and as it soon proved, exceed ingly ef f ective. Scarcely had a half dozen shots been fired before the rebel batteries began to open from James Island, and Boon, as one after another joined in the fray, Every rebel gun on James and Sulli van's Islands was in full play, and, the night being clear and comparatively still, the roar of the cannonade shook the is lands about and awoke every one by its terrific thunders. Our fire, in spite of-the rebels' activity, was kept up steadily, and at about - three o'clock we discovered Fire Kindler! in Charleston. The flames were firs, apparent in a block of builaings to the south of St. Michael's spire—probably in Bell or Elliott street— and speedily lecreneed, thro wing a light over the harbor, and bringing cut in bold rein f the spires of the churches and the wooded front of the battery. As the con• flagration spread our fire became more sharp and active, and our • rifle shells dropped in and about the fire so accurate ly and regularly that the firemen of the city must have battled with the ele ment with less boldne-s than they or dinarily do. While our guns were employed, any working of fire engines near the scene of conflagration was out of the question, and the fire gained head way. lo add to the discomforts and ter ror of the caw remaining inhabitants, two other fires were started in other parts of the city, but gradually went out, without destroying other buildings than those in which the shells first communicated the fire. l'he rebels, when they discovered the state of affairs, seemed to redouble their efforts to silence our batteries, and maintained a tremendous bombardment upon them. it was of no avail. Our guns were throwing shells into the city and into the rebel works as cooly as they would have fired at a target in peace times. Until daylight the artillery dnei was exceedingly sharp andncisy, but of no damage to us. What the rebels suffered, other than in the destruction of one entire block of buildings and two independent and detached houses, must be learned through their own papers We are saris fed that the city was a sufferer from our fire, and that our Christmas entertainment will induce the few surviving denizens o' the tewn to remove to the rural districts, where they m.iy ter a while be free from ell danger of such visitations as have re cently been showered upon them. The effect of our shelling is said to be quite apt &rent in the city, in spite of all details re- the pari of the press to the con trary. Bell and Elliot atreate are perfect ly deserted—tee a single person living iu either, nor a single building occupied for business purposes. All reports to the contrary, acid to the effect that the city has not been damaged or its business ef - i'ected by our bombardment. are pleasant iii Ic LICtIOIIb invented for the southern ear, and tolerably well calculated to fool us, if as did net have the means of knowing hatter 1, the contrary. While we were deli , ring our Christmas saluta tions to Cheile-ton the enemy returned the cute } I.arent :rem johnson's Island, on the Steno river, and showed 111 How the Rebels Observed the Day. Wczaieg most aideetieoualy through the night in middies , corduroy roads across a marsh near Legarevitie, and hauling lum ber, intreuening toela and siege guns, the rebels were enabled to plant before day light two seige guns within easy range of Legareviilo and toe gunboat Marblehead, which laid off the town on picket. The first notice our small force in the village had of the ent.my'e presence and designs was a sudden and spirited attack in force on our pickets, before which they speedi ly fell tack, and an audacious. artillery fire upon the Marblehead from the two siege guns in the marsh. ELY.E.TE.AO LAw.--The foilowing is an extract from n letter dated December 1.81Y3, from the Commissioner of the General Land Office to register and re ceiver, lona, hltchigan : A homestead settler has not a complete legal right, but merely an inceptive t:tle, liable to be defeated for non performance of conditions, and can therefore only use the timber far fencing, building, fuel or repairs. Under the bounty of Congress he is permitted to acquire a homestead on the public domain tor agricultural' par poses, on the condition of "settlement and cultivation for five years." Until this condition is satisfied he cannot com mit waste by felling the timber for market, as the land reverts to the United States on failure to comply with the terms of the law. As to any supposed purchase by a party from the homestead settler, no right can attach under such sale. The home stead settler had no power to sell; hence the timber cut on the land is liable to seizure by the United States. THE MORMON THEATRE.-A recent Salt Lake City letter speaks of the new theatre erected by the Mormons as one of the finest in the Union, and adds: The stage is eighty feet deep, the drop curtain is thirty three feet wide. The scenery has been gotten up regardless of expense, and is as fine as can be found on the continent. The building has accom modation icr twenty•five hundred people. This number can be seated comfortably. Two performances are given a week to crowded houses. S. M. Irwin and wife, both well known in Milwaukee i are the stars of the season. They are universal favorites among the Mormons and Gen• tiles. Last night I counted in Brigham Young's family box ninty•three women and children, and the box was not near full, He occupied an elegant private box with hid two favorite wives. A NEW OPPOSITION TRIUMPH IN PARIS —Mr. Eugene Pelletan has just been elec. ted a deputy for Peale, - in the opposition interest, by an immense majority. Big former election, which took place last June, having been declared void, he again presented himself as a candidate during last mouth, beating M. Picard, the Government repesentative, by nearly six thousand votes, against the slim majority of two hundred and seventy five which he received in Jane. The triumph is naturally regarded with exultation by the opposition in Paris. Vigorous efforts were made on both sides daring the can vass; the Government organs especially appealing with great earnestness to the ten thousand voters who were absentees at ita former election. It is a curious fact, however, that the last returns still show a list of ten thousand absentees, consisting of persons too timorous to appear, or absent; so that the immense increase , in hi. Pelletan's majority is due to an extraordinary displacement of votes. In other words, Paris itself is uttering loud disapproval of the Emper• or's course. 106....9A6 10 6j7 DEATH !. rt OM, INHALATION OF ETHEH.- Dr. Young, of tinultzville, Washington township, who was assistant surgeon to the board of enrollment of this county during the last examination of drafted men, died on Tuesday night, at his home, from the effects of inhaling too much ether. He had saturated a cloth with ether, and laid it on his forehead, to relieve him from a headache, and in that way went to sleep. It is supposed that during the night the cloth slipped over hie nose and mouth, and thus caused the fatal effects of the ether.—Reading (Pa.) Gazette. SINGULAR DEATH OF AN ENGINEER.- After the late severe snow storm at the West, an engineer of a train upon the Racine and Mississippi railroad, while attempting to force his train through a huge snow bank, was thrown from the cab of the engine into the bank and buried in the snow seven or eight feet. When his disappearance was discovered search was made and his body recovered but life was extinct. He died from suffocaticn. firs,READER I If your Hair is taming Grey, If your Hair is beenming Thin If your Hair is becoming Harsh and Dry, Use the Rejuvenator, Which is the most satisfactory HAIR RESTOR KR ever brought botore the public.
