    DAILY POST.
PITTSBURGH:
FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1864
ALL THIS MECENCY
A Washington correspondent of the
New York Express, gives the following
account of a recent scene in the House of
Representatives:
The Douse presented a pitiful spectacle
to-day, wien the death of Senator Bow
nird4Thginia-iitas announced: - - -"Kfter
the customary eulogy from a Virginia
member, a Republican member from the
West got up, not sober, if not drunk, Ind
beg:wild- sorts 'of gyrations and geatiett
labor's, which soon indicated that if he
was not drank ; he was not sober. Con
sidering that the Republicans claim
all the religion and all the morals of the
country, and all the education, and all
the teeming, and that hitherto not even
slavehoiding, barbarians have ever pre-'
seated this sort of spectacle in Congress,
we may doubt whether Abolitionism is
really refinement and civilization. Another
Republican member shuffled him off, and
relieved the Rouse from the spectacle."
It is curious to observe how careful oar
telegraphic agents are, in keeping all
such bits of news as the above out of their
reports to the associated press. Red this
congressional, swaggering devotee of
stimulating liquors, been a Democrat, we
would have had the whole scene graphi
cally represented, causing earnest criti
cism from every abolition PREVINIFF in
the country. But these Abolition fanatics
being possessed of all the patriotism and
loyalty in the country, are, we presume,
determined upon a monopoly of the
"Obird" and, "Monongahela." They
ve grovrn opulent off of the profits of
contracts, end now they are engaged in
an effort to place such a tax even upon
common whisky, as will give them an en
tire monopoly of the market-. Not content
with prolonging the war in order to pile
up fabulous fortunes, they are now invest
ing their surplus thousands in spirits, and
are going about like the drunken Con•
gressman alluded to, with their signs out,
indicating the quality of the article they
are monopolizing. Let this shameful
traffic go on for another year, and the
most hilariously inclined will have to cur
tail his potations. Either economy in this
as well as-in all other matters incurring
expenses of living, on another rebellion will
be the consequence—not a Southern re
volt against the Government, but a
Northern uprising against those Washing•
ton gamesters, who are endeavoring to
monopolise that which levels all rank,
and lays the "Sheppard's crook 'beside
the sceptre."
RECONSTRUCTION
. Our Isle comments upou the Pitts
burgh Gazette's remarks upon the Presi
dent's plan of reconstructing the Union,
by permitting "one-tenth" of the people
of any State in rebellion, to govern
"nine-tenths," have railed forth a re
joinder from our neighbor. In reply to
our objection it asks us would we allow
the nine-tenths who are traitors, to gov
ern the one- tenth who are loyal? This
does not reach the point we endeavored
to make in our former article upon this
at all, as long as they remained obdurate;
our objections to President LINCOLN'S
plea are that it is calculated, if not in-
tended, to keep the nine-tenths alluded
to in rebellion, in order that one-tenth of
Yankee adventurers may, in time, be
able, with the nee of Federal arms, to
subjugate the Southern people. Our ob •
jection to the President's plan is, because
itoonverts the war nakedly into one for
negro emanci potion. The restoration of
the Union is a secondary consideration,
whereas it should (as it was at first) be the
sole object of our determination to
crash the rebellion. As if this entire
ohange!ofpnrpose, on the part of the Pres
ident, was not enough, he announces that
the nine tenths alluded to, in the oath of
allegiance proposed, must swear to obey
all his proclamations, as well as all legis
lation past and prospective, relating to
Abolition. We might as cell expect the
Gazette to swear to support the old Fa.
gitive Law ; or, as a cotemporary remark
ad, aak a Jew to eat pork as a condition
of his becoming a citizen,
. Bat the Gazette does not pretend to de
ny that our civil war is for the destruction
of slavery merely, as the following conclu
ding fanatical and irreverend paragraph
from it admits :
"How God-like and glorious is that clem
ency which shines forth from the Presi
dent's proclamation of amnesty to rebels,
who lave done their utmost to break up
the Union and destroy the Government !.
How suggestive of the grace which gives
hope and joy, and opens Heaven to a rebel
race ! Nothing is required but a voluntary
return to allegiance. But as the villain
cannot carry his ill-gotten pelf into the
Kingdom of Heaven, nor the debauches
his bottle or his harlot, so the rebel is
debarred, by the proclamation, from car
rying back his " nigger " or hia whip."
NORTH CAROLINA
Although many of the reports from
North Carolina during the year past, in
regard -to- her desire to return to the
Union, were untrue, still recent events
demonstrate there is an increasing desire
there to return into its allegiance. The
sorry accounts of the Newborn Times, re
marks the World, are of no account what.
ever, as that paper is published under
Union military surveilance; but it is far
different with the Raleigh Standard and
Progress, which are papers published at
the capital of that State. ' They are very
outspoken. The Confederacy is denouno•
ediand the editor demands that the State
out loose from it. FOOTE'S proposition
to make General Lss a dictator is scouted
at. If a dictator was necessary, General
LEE would be the best man in the Con--
federacy to wield that power but the
people of North Carolina want no dictator.
A return to the old Union would be a far
pleasanter alternative. Then again we
are told by these North Carolina papers
that letters from the rebel army under
General JOEttnoN show that the officers
are sick of the ter, and very much de
moralised. Also, that the Western court
ties of" North Carolina have been cut off
from mail communication with the rest of
the Confideracy, because of their dieloy
shy to-the rebel cause.
AU thiris significant, and shows that
all it regnirekis statesmanship on the part
of the National 9orernment to end the
war right speedily. That, unfortanately.

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO
A Battle Between the French and
Mexteana—Defeat of the Latter.
Sex Fluff°moo, Jan. 11.—Dates have
been received from Mexico to the 28d of
December and San Louis Potosi and Mo
relia to December 18th. On the 17th
Gen. Uraga, with 6,000 Mexicans, attack
ed the French army entrenched at Mo•
relia, and was repulsed with the loss of
two thoasand killed and wounded. Pre•
vim' to this disaster Uraga had inflicted
considerable damage on the French by
capturing their supplies. He purposes
to continue his guerrilla warfare, and was
gathering reinforcements for that purpose.
Doblado, before evacuating Guanajuato,
destroyed the aqueduct, water reservoirs.
and all the works belonging to the differ.
ent mines, agricultural implements, and
the growing crops, leaving the country a
barren waste. He retreated towards Za•
catecas, pursued by one division of the
French army.
Gen. Ortega was expected to join Do
blado there and give battle to the' pur
suers.
On the 6th the Mexican traitor, Tobar
with 3,000 men near Guadalajara, was
defeated by equal number of loyalists,
under Col. Bagat. Five hundred prison•
era and 800 horses, and a large amount
of arms and ammunition were captured
by Bajat.
The impression prevailed at Mexico
that Maximilian would be induced to
abandon the proffered throve, and that
some Spanish Prince would be substituted
for a time, on condition that France and
Spain ahould uphold the new Govern•
ment.
It was reportA that President Juarez
contemplated moving the seat of Govern
ment from San Louis top Monterey, be
cause of that place being near the United
States. His family were already at don
Corey.
A letter from President Joe rez, dated
Elan Louie, Dec. Bth, received in this city,
says :
Oar hopes are for the speedy termina
tion of your civil war, and the complete
restoration of the Union. With it, no
doubt, many American soldiers would
soon join us for the purpose of driving
from the soil of the American continent
the French with their designs of establish
ing a monarchy here. We know fall well
that if the United States had not been en
gaged in their present struggle, no Euro
pean potentate would ever have attempted
to strike a blow against our republican
institutions. But as we are, with God's
help, we will try to defend our beloved
Mexico. Yon no doubt will be some
what surprised at our abandoning our
principal cities, and leaving them in the
hands of the Fretrii. We think we are
right in doing so. In the first place, as a
military view of the matter, the further
we can draw them into the interior away
them u "- p - a 2- tt gar% a - rig their tortes they
become weaker and give us more power
to assail and destroy them. We don't
intend to carry on more than what is class
ed as guerrilla warfare. We are not in a
position to wait for an attack on any of
our posts. By their system of artillery
warfare, the French army being far supe
rior to ours in point of discipline, as well
as being supplied with all the modern
inventions in gunnery, we would be com•
pelled to succumb eventually in any pitch
ed battle; while by harassing and destroy
ing their communications, carrying on a
roving system of warfare, like that which
the French once experienced in Spain,
they eventually will not consider Mexico
an easy empire to govern.
F atal Effect of the Cold—A Whole
Family Frozen to Death.
From the Detroit Advertiser, Jan. 6.
By the passengers who arrived here on
the central Railroad last night from the
West, we learn of one of the most fearful
,and heart-rending affairs that has ever oc
curred in this section of the country,
namely : that a family of seven persons
were frozen to death during the cold
weather on Friday last. About 30 miles
from the boundary line between Michigan
and Indiana, in the latter State, about
midway between Centerville and Crown
Point, lived a German. with his wife and
five children, named Krutzer. The old
est was a boy of seven rars of age, the
next a boy of five, and three girls all of
less age than the boys, the youngest but
an infant.
The country where the family resided
is very rolling, and the snow had drifted
into the hollows, making the roads almost,
if not wholly impassable for even pedes
trians-
The driver of the stage coach corning
from Crown Point to Lake, via Center
ville, found that Krutzer's dwelling had
been burned 10 the ground, it is supposed
the night previously, but none of the fami
ly were to be seen. About a mile farther
on, however, he was horrified to find the
father and two boys frozen to death.
The boys were in the father's arms, and it
is supposed that he had fallen with them
after having been so far affected with the
frost as not to be able to proceed. The
three corpses were placed in the stage,
but before it had proceeded more than a
quarter of a mile on its destination, the
body of the oldest girl was found in a snow
drift, with a shawl wrapped closely around
it, where it had doubtless been deposited
by its weary mother while yet alive, in the
hope that some chance traveler might res•
cue it from an impending fate. This
corpse, too was placed in the coach, and
again it started on its way, only to find,
after traveling a short distance, the life
less remains of the mother, with the two
youngest children. The : body of the
mother was standing erect in a snow
drift with the children in her arms, the
youngust one being at the breast.
The seven lifeless bodies were conveyed
to centerville by the driver of tho stage,
at which place they were decently interred
by the inhabitants.
THE St. Louis Republican states that
Waldo P. Johnson has appeared at Rich
mond as a Confederate Senator from
Missouri, appointed by "Governor"
Thomas C. Reynolds to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the death of R. Y. L. Pep
ton. The Republican adds : "Few of
our readers in this State will need to be
informed who Waldo P. Johnson is. He
was elected to.the UnitAd States Senate
by the Missouri Legislature during the
winter of 1860-61, and in that body MC

Democratic Congressional Caucus.
A caucus of the democratic members
of Congress was held at the Capital on
Tuesday evenings, which was very fully
attended. Hoe. J. L. Dawson, of Penn•
sylvania, presided, and Wm. J. Steele of
New Jersey, acted as Secretary.
Mr. Mallory of Kentucky, stated that
he had just returned from Kentucky, and
be expressed the general wish of the
conservative men of that State, who were
anxious to unite, not as the allies of the
democratic party, but as a constituent
portion of the party itself, in the nest
National Convention. He also suggested,
as a saggestion made by his friends in
Kentucky, that all the conservative, as
well as the National Democratic Commit
tee, should join in the call for the Nation
al Convention.
Fernando Wood, of New York, inquir
ed whether the conservatives had not
already nominated their candidate, Gene
ral McClellan?
Mr. Mallory Baia that the nomination of
General McClellan was regarded by the
conservatives who met at Cincinnati and
Philadelphia as simply a suggestion or
recommendation of the gentleman as a
candidate, and that they were ready to
unite on anybody nominated by the Dem—
ocratic Convention for President. Gov
ernor Powell of Kentucky, speaking of
Hon. Garrett Davis, who had been present
at the Philadelphia Convention, confirmed
the statement.
The committee appointed at a previous
meeting to consider and report upon the
place for holding the National Democratic
Convention made a report in favor of
New York. Mr. Cox, of Ohio, moved to
substitute Columbus, Ohio. Upon this
there was considerable debate, the Illinois
members id.rongly urging Chicago as the
most suitable locality for the meeting of
that body. Upon taking a vote, Mr. Cox's
amendment was defeated by ono majority.
Subsequently Mr. Cox moved to insert
Cincinnati, which was adopted by seven
majority.
This action is merely advisory, the Na
'tional Democratic Committee having the
decision of the time and place for holding
the Convention, and, upon their request
for such action upon the part of the dem
ocratic members of Congress a resolution
was passed unanimously disapproving of
the emancipation proclamation.
A resolution was offered by Mr. Strouse
of Pennsylvania, expressing a desire on
the part of the democratic members of
Congress that a democratic organ should
be supported at Washington, and recom
mending the Constitutional Union as such
organ.
On motion of Mr. Pendleton, of Ohio,
it was voted that the cancel; hold regular
meetings every Wednesday evening, and
that other meetings be called by the chair.
man, upon the request of four members.
It was also resolved that all political res•
olutions introduced in either House of
Congress by the opposition should be ma
tured in cansus, so that they might act
unitedly upon political matters. The fol
lowing resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That we are for the restora
tion of all the States of the Union; that
patriotism and true statesmanship demand
that such a policy should be pursued to
wards the people of the States in which
the insurrection exists as shall be best
calculated to bring this expensive and ex
hausting war in which we are now
engaged to a close, and to restore said
States to the Union under the Constitu
tion, with all the Constitutional rights of
the people unimpaired.
This latter resolution gave great sPrtis
faction, and appears to have suited the
opposition in Congress very finely. The
utmost harmony prevailed throughout be
tween the democratic and conservative
members, and the caucus aJjßuened to
meet to morrow (Wednesday) evening

Correspondence of the N. Y, World,
The Raleigh, N. C.) Progress says, uu
der the title of "A Monstrous Proposi
tion ' •
"The beauties of secession, but dimly
seen at first, are becoming more and more
vivid as the revolution advances cad,
from present i3dications,it will not belong
before he who runs may read. The com
munications of officers of the Army of
Tennessee, read in the House of Repre
sentatives on Tuesday, shows that there
is an alarming state of demoralization and
dissatisfaction in that quarter. If there is
to be a dictator, Mr. Foote wants Gen.
Lee. We have as much confidence in and
respect for Gen. Lee as any man living,
bat we tell Mr. Foote that the people of
North Carolina, who set out to fight for
freedom and liberty, will not submit to a
dictator in the person of any living man
while the power is left to resist."
The Raleigh (N. C.) Standard says
that the people in the extreme western
counties of North Carolina have been de
prived of all mail facilities, on the ground
of disloyalty to the Confederate govern
ment.
The new paper published here, the
North Carolina Times, contains the fol
rowing items :
"There are more than a hundred thous
and people to day within our military lines
who are entitled to the protection of the
national government by every considers
tion of humanity and good faith."
In referring to the proposed separation
of North Carolina from the rebel confede•
racy, the Times says :
"The people of the state are ripe for a
revolt against the Richmond government,
but are almost helpless in consequence of
the withdrawal of some sixty thousand of
her eons into other states; their spirit,
however, is not cowed thereby.
"The eeders of this movement advocate
a separate sovereignty, as we understand
it, and not a return to the Union, although
the leaders boldly avow a return to the
Union preferable to the present state of
affairs in Dixie. We have almost daily
evidence of this fact, from the large num
ter who come within our lines and avail
themselves of the President's Amnesty
proclamation—if our troops would. hold
our railroads and avenues of approach
into the state—that 4e Old North state
would be in the Union, not only by con
quests but of her own free will and ac
cord."
! The Fiftyeighth Pennsylvania volun
teers, stationed in this department, have
re-enlisted for the war, and will soon leave
for home on a furlough. Seve.al batteries
have also re-enlisted as well as a majority
of the men belonging to the various regi
ments. If the Government continues its
liberal bounties, all the old regiments will
be ready to take field by spring, with full
ranks.
The Second Regiment of North Caro
na Union Volunteers is rapidly reorgan
izing. Its, headquarters are at Beaufort,
North Carolina.
IN a letter from Dickens to Irving, the
novelist tells the following laughable story
at the expense of Rogers, the poet:
"You know, I dare say, that for a year
or so before his death, he wandered, and
lost himself, like the Children iq the
Wood, grown up there and grown down
again. He had Mrs. Proctor and Mrs.
Carlyle to breakfast with him one morn•
ing—only those two. Both excessively
talkative, very quick and clever, and bent
on entertaining him. When Mrs. Carlyle
had flashed and shone before him about
three•quarters of an hour on one subject,
he turned his poor old eyes on Mrs. Proc
tor, and pointing to the bsilliant discours
er with his poor old finger, said, (indig.
nantly,) 'who is she" Upon this Mrs.
Proctor, cutting in, delivered—(it is her

writings of Carlyle, and enlightened him
in her happiest and arieet manner; all of
which he heard, staring in the dreariest

A story is told of Dick, a darkey in
Kentucky, who is a notorious thief, so
vicious in this respect that all the thefts in
the neighborhood were charged to him.
On one occasion Mr. Jones, a neighbor of
Dick's-mastilr, called and said that Dick
must be sold out of that part of the coun—
try, for he had stolen all his (Jones')
turkeys. Dick's master could not think
so. The two, however, went into the
field where Dick was at work, and accused
him of the disputed theft. "Yon stole
Mr. Jones' turkeys," said the master.
"No I didn't, masse," responded Dick.
The master persisted. "Well," at length
said Dick, "I'll tell you, masse, I didn't
steal dem turkeys, but last night I went
across Mr. Jones' pasture, andl seed one
of your rails on de fence, so I brought

A Puzzled Justice
A man named Josh was brought before
a country squire for stealing a hog, and
three witnesses being examined, swore
they saw him steal it. A wag having vol•
unteered his counsel for Josh, knowing
the scope of the squire's brain arose and
addressed him as follows: May it please
your honor, I can establish this man's
honesty beyond the shadow of a doubt,
for I have twelve witnesses who are ready
to swear they did not see him steal it."
The squire rested his head for a few mo
menta as if in deep thought, and with
great dignity arose, and brushing back his
hair said. "If there are twelve who did
not see him steal it, and only three who
did, I discharge the prisoner."
