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

State in rebellion will be necessary to

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

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.

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.
