L While our teething millions were re joicing in dll the- comfOrts of abundance ■ '*' and weilfhi pther milUbna—onr coun trymen and kindred—were suffering the inconceivable horrors of destructive war. tviixjlThegreat JPo^t,,in. stately verso, Bl inding to-the sacred memoirs belonging to Christmas, says : •■That over, ‘gainst that season cornea, Wherein our Ssvtonr’B birth la celebrated, The bird of dawning'alngeth all night long'; And then, they aay, no spirit dare stir abroad, So hallowed and.so gracious is the tlme.“ Bit in our age and country “ the spirit" of the firat-boin Cain, Beema to . . have taken pdssession of the minds of ./i med j many of thoßß whose .mission it is to preach the spirit of the" Lamb, are inexorable in their demands for blood.

It is thought by.many that Mr, Day tonfour iatemfriiltSr to France, whp it Is said died of apoplexy, was actually j>’V£jSpred to death. The verbosity of Mr. Sqward's dispatches was too great for • him. The ziysaUuding to Mr. Dayton’s .fine abilities remarks that his position, SB accredited to the French Court, was E=r -', one of grievous responsibility. The re latione of thie‘:B’e3en|il’AUth ol 'it>es in that quarter were always critical and deli- £ ' - cate. rljlaadversaries were able, subtle, Iv and expect; and we cannot but feel that, §. !»fjwhfinMfi?Dayton,:insheearly days of I ’ fetid "hia head on the c_ ■m'rtwfaiin tha Hot^l,de Louvre, and went - to slgep in death, it was the breaking ']■■■ udownof a care-worn overtasked spirit.

From 1861 to 1862, C 1 hdarfy twd’huhdred aggregations of i ;l connected'and unmeaning words, in the p shape of diplomatic harangues from the State Department, had crowded the , - mail bags and pressed heavily on Mr. s‘ . / • Dayton’s intellectual ene.gy.

There appears to be no end to the as surance of Abißtionism; in Saturday’s papers we hadptlbunts from Washing ton by thousandth tlmflUlie speedy falljbf the 1 Dayis’s quent scatter! if ik true that the fpkhe entitfp|soun|| try peace ;the fate victories in thief South and Southwest ought to secure for us im portant results, but whatjajhe_use —es- pecially since the Presidential election is over —in the Abolitionists trifling with the patience of the by the an nouncement of the crumbling of the rebellion-japd that, too, while prepara- are in progress for another draff of 800,000 men? The fact Is-that the party in charge of the Government, is not equal- to the task, imposed upon it; the crisis by which it is surrounded, is too great for its capacity, and it is, consequently; compelled to make np in impudent pre dictions and pretensions what it lacks in genuine ability. From the beginning of onr troubles with the Southern rebels,, these Abolitionists through the different stages of the. contest, appear to have bad no idea of the magnitnde of the struggle. Had they been properly im-* pressed with its vastnesa and resources it might hate been avoided altogether. Prior to the actual commencement of hostilities, Mr, Alexander -H. Stephens, now Vice President of the .was recognized as the leader and expo;" nentof a large majority of the South ern people. Oh a memorable occasion he spoke as follows: •‘Leaving put of view, for the preaent, the cuuntleaatnfllioni of dollars . you. muat expeud in the war with the North; with teas of thou sands of your sons and brothers, slain In battle, and' offered up as sacrifices upon the altar of . yonr apitiition—ami for what, we ask again! Is la it for the overthrow of the American Gov ernment, established by our ancestry, cemented and built up by their sweat and blood, and foundedon the broad .principles opright, justice, and humanity! And, as such, 1 must declare here, as I hare often done before, and which has been repeated by the.greateat and wisest *6f statesmen and patriots In this and other lands, •TH fft IT IS THE BEST AND FBEES.T;GOV EBNMENT, THE HOST EQUAL IN ITS BIGHTS, THE. MOST JUST IN ITS DECIS IONS, THE MOST LENIIENT IN ITS MEASURES,, AND THE MQST INSFUiINO IN ITS PKINOIPLES TO ELEVATE THE RACE OF MEN. THAT THE SUN ON HEA VEN EVER SHONE UPON.” This paragraph has been frequently quoted, ajj} it is doubtless familiar to our readers; our object in publishing it at the present time, is simply to contrast its sentiments with those lately'nttered by their author, which go to show the rebellion to be still formidable and de fiant. The North Carolina Bulletin Bl inding loan interview its editor lately had with Mr. Stephens Bpeaks of it in this way: “After conversing with this distinguished gen tleman it le not difficult to understand the secret of his influence. Olear and logical In hie Ideas, and happy In his manner of cut pressing them, Mr. Stephens Impresses has. hearers with the conviction that they are listening to a man of ssgaeity,of olear, common sense, and one, too, who fa fully convinced of the truth of what ever lie asserts. Air. Stephens is no reconstruction ißt. He be* lioves that the worst thing that could happen to the confederacy would be a reunion with the Northern States. Misery and degradation, worse than Ireland eyer experienced, would be our portion upon any reunion that-could be ef fected. We musthaveladependence.” Here we have the leader of the old Union men of the South, after four years of carnage and blood expressing a de termination to be content with nothing Short of the absolute 1 Independence of the South. The ge'a'der. can from this, easily infer whether the military power of our opponents is as weak and tottering as it is announced 1 to be by the reports to which we have,been alluding, and he can also conclude whether the conduct of onr Administration is likely to bring the country back to a speedy peace.. The Great Libel Oase. The New York papers still come to us filled with the proceedings of the im portant suit of Opdyke vs. Weed. The World of Thursday contains the testi mony of John C. Fremont who was on the stand for several • hours. Part of the libel was, that Opdyke taking advan tage of the general’s necessities,had ex torted a large amount of his mining stbok—.the consideration being that Op dyke should use hie political influence in aiding to make Fremont, a candidate for the Presidency. The General in his testimony' gives a clear and distinct account of his mining operations in California; explained the embarassments of the Mariposa estate, and admitted that he had trans ferred '05,000 shares of the Mariposa stock to Opdyke and others in regular course of business. The General’s tes timony does not quite sustain the alle gations of the defendant. We believe that this is the entire' point on which the defense has failed to make good its justification of the alleged libel. The whole testimony taken in this case, shows a sad state of morals among the shoddy political patriots.of the metrop olis. ' Vioe Admiral David G. Farragut The passage of the bill to create the rank of Vice Admiral in the navy has been promptly followed by the the Pres - ident by the nomination of David G. Farragut to that high office, and. the ratification by the Senate of the appoint ment, by an immediate qpaninypis vote. The .circumstances are alike honorable to Congress, to the President, and to the recipient of this great honor. The country gladly ratifies the act by a spon taneous approval, and the navy now has a commander-in-chief of whom every officer and sailor may be proud. Vice Admiral Farragut is well entitled to the distinction of being “every inch a sail or.” Of sixty-one years, to which bis Chequered life haß extended, fifty-three have been spent in the service of his country. In his ninth year he was a midshipman, and while boys on the land Were going to school, he was dls dplined qnder Commodore David -Por ter, iji’.flbtne of ; Jibe most memorable combats daring tfye second war with Greatßritain. uv Se waß.a faithful officer during-thq jnur with Mexico, and since the bnftireaKof fne Jifdpwion his gallant deeda.havßbecome As j ..!femiliar to-'onr as honsehold ■> Hig loyal ty, courage and. skill have made ;A)tn thArightwrmoftiw servfce: tonginay he Eve to enjoy tha Jionor which he has so worthily won. , -...

I infer from this the language of Jameswould npt be accepted—which is right. They also say that the securi ties are a good thing—of which I have no doubt —But to the point. I wish to know in case I invested a hundred dol lars which I have saved since the ad vance in gold, my occupation being that of a washerwoman—would the gentle men referred to, for the sake ot contin uing the war and keeping up the good timet guarantee to me and other indus* trioua people that the “bonds” —no dif ference how many more should be printed —would always be as good as gold, and that at any time we wanted the money for them, to hay provisions or .the like, if the Government was not just :»)§|dy to take them up that they (the would advance the inonfj themselves and keep the bonds, in addition to the large amounts already on hands, untiL, whatever time it suited the Government’s convenience to take them np. If they will do ibis, notwith* standing promises of Allegheny county have been sometimes broken, yet for so benevolent a purpose 1 think that the streets will fairly “swarm” with old and young, wishing to secure a share of “the great patriotic loan” —and the whole thing will be fairly gobbled up in time to get out the next —and en listments will be encouraged, and drafts will become familiar —and the "back bone” and all the ribs will be knocked into a jelly—and we will all become •richer, and we will increase in popula tion, and we will pitch into England, ‘France and the balance of the world and —and —but please pardon female en thusiasm, when it gets mixed with pa triotism it is wonderful. The “Times” on the Constitution If there be a sublimity of imprudence, that sublimity is to be found in a party, based upon the “higher law,” claiming that it has taken the great rebellion to teach us the meaning of the word supreme. Who the “us” are it is difficult to de termine. Certainly not the Democracy? for the very-cardinal point of their faith is, that the only right to an Union camt through the Constitution and that it was therefore as supreme and conclusive in politics as the ten commandments in morals. Another great principle r>f the Demo cracy is, that the Constitution is to be strictly construed; that it means what any man of plain common sense would say that it meant, and that all inferential deductions of power were dangerous. The “us” cannot be the Republican party, for that party clings to its “higher law” heresy more fondly than ever, and is largely imbued with the notion that all the Constitution does not prohibit it admits, instead of the formerly universal opinion that it prohibits all that it does not permit. The “us" cannot be the rebels, for their quarrel with us, according to Mr. Lin coln, is solely upon the question whether a constitution is what a majority Bays it is, we holding the affirmative, and they the negative, of that proposition. Nor can the “ns” be the editors of the Times , for the very article which prompts this bears evidence that they suppose the Constitution to he whatever a political party chooses to say, and the states, some or all, do not resist arm? As to there beiug any discovery of powers in the Constitution, the assertion is more a Btricture upon the wisdom of the past than a proof of the wisdom of the present. We had passed tl. rough and several periods of great hnancial distress, .without the great in tellects of former days dreaming of the dormant powers of the Constitution. Mr. Webster, of course, and every other human being in the United States Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Sewarrl, and Mr Ray mond included, would have told any in quiring foreigner in 1859, that the Uni ted States could not make anything but coin a legal tender. So in respect to “the military power of the government to arrest and confine dangerous persona without interference from the civil “tribunals.” Whatever power justly exists, of that nature, exists under a special clause of the Constitution, relative to a suspen sion of the privilege of the writ of ha beas corpus-, but no other freedom from interference exists. It is not true, as the Times mistakenly observes, that a political party has denied the right of subjecting every citizen to military ser vice; it has simply asserted the mode by which that service is. to be secured. The calliDg for troops by the. President, under an act of Congress, in 1861, shows wbat he and all men thought at that time. Perhaps the gauge of the idea of a constitutional system which the Times is capable of may be found in its declar ation that the people had ratified a de cision of the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States by an election. We had sup posed with Webster, and Hume before him, that one of the few real and great objects of government was to provide judicial tribuhala to settle disputes; but it appears by tfe. Times that our real court is, after all, ' the ballot-box. — World.

It will be remembered that fa law of Congress, approved July 1, 1862, forbids afftf. punished polygamy by a fine of $5OO and imprisonment for five years. Keceiit letters represent that the Mormon leaders, and as many of their followers as are able,, are in rebellion against this law. The same statue for 7 bids any religions or charitable corpora tion to hold real estate-in value above $50,000. The whole church is in dead ly rebellion against this law. Of course no Federal officer, military or civil, can hold friendly relations with them . while they thus continue in open defiance’ of" his Government, without being gulity of complicity with traitors; but so far from regarding himself a . criminal, Brigham Young carries himself with the utmost haughtiness, insisting that the Federal commander in Utah shall recognize him aS his superior. The position and pre tensions of the Mormon leader 'thus them in direct antagonism with the Uni ted States, and one party or the other must submit. General Connor, the present commander of the Federal forces, in that region, maintains that the only possible peaceable solution of the difficulty will be foundiu encouraging and protecting by force, the free utter ance of thought and opinion among the people, which will weaken their apiritn al despotism by a multiplicity of sects, and take from the leaders their political supremacy, and in opening the rich mines in the neighboring mountains, and thus outnumbering them at the polls oy a mining population. Meanwhile as we learn from a letter in the Chicago Tribane , the increase of the Mormons by emigration goes steadily, forward. Trains numbering as many as 5,000 peo pie, have recently crossed the wide des ert which divides them from the States. When once there, they are as effectual ly walled in as if In prison, and read nothing and hear nothing butt from Mormon sources. They are set back in the scale of civilization more than a century, and their preachers give them little besides a gospel of work. In Utah, which claimß a population of 100,00(jpeople, with a metropolis (Silt Lake) containing some 20,000 people, there is not a single book-store, and scarcely a book is ever sold, 'while newspaper literature, except such as the Mormon organ supplies, is equally mea ger. The Two Shermans, We are constantly in receipt of letters asking us to identify the two General Shermans. The following brief summary will sufficiently remove the confusion in the minds of our correspondents and an swer for reply to all. The General Bberman who dneted the great expedition through Georgia, and is now before Savannah, is William Tecumseli Sherman, a native of Ohio. He graduated in West Point in 1840, class rank six. "He seived in Florida in 1841, at Fort Moultrie in 1842, in California in 1846, as Commissary of Subsistence in 1850, engaged in the banking business at San Francisco in 1853, and was President of the State Military Academy of Louisiana in 1850. After the outbreak of the war he com manded in the first battle of Bnll Run. May 17th, 1861, he was aopointedßriga• dier General of Yolunteers, and ordered to the Department of the Kentucky. In 1862 he assigned to the command of the District of Cairo. After the capitula tion of Donelson he was assigned to (he Fifth Division, Army of the Tennessee, Gen. Grant commanding. He was made Msjor General of Volunteers May Ist, 1862. His operations at Vicksburg, Memphis. Holly Springs and Jackson, are well known> July 4th, 1863, He was promoted to a Brigadier Generalship in the regular army. From that time to this he has been successfuly engaged in Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. “Port Royal” Sherman, or more familiarly. “Battery” Sherman, is Thomas W. Sherman, who was born in Rhode Island in 1817, and graduated at West Point in 1836. He was brevetted Major for gallantry at Beuna Vista in 1847, served in the Northwest in 1857, and was apdointed Brigadier of Volun teers May 17, 1861. He commanded a division in the first battle of Bull Run and was subsequently selected to com mand the land forces in the Port Royal expedition. He was supeiceded by Gen. Hunter in March, 1862, He was afterwards severely wounded at or about New Orleansund has not been in-activc service since —Cleveland Herald. Vary Ann. An Election Bet Paid in a Novel Way. A few days previous to the Presiden tial election two gentlemen, one from Vermont and the other from Pittsburgh, residing temporarily in this city, made a bet to the tollowing effect: The latter bet the former a full suit of clothes and a hat that McClellan would receive the electoral vote of New York. Soon as the result was known, the Vermor.; man selected his ebuhes, whilst the loser contended his right to prescribe the style of the hat. He accordingly wei.t to the establishment of Mr.' Wil burn D. McCord, Baltimore street, op posite Hanover, and ordered a hat of the following dimensions: Height, 13 inches, breadth of brim, six inches, and breadth of the top, twelve inches. It is just about three times the size of an ordinary hat, and will attract a crowd wherever it is worn; but, notwithstand ing, the winner of the bet will be com pelled to wear it at least one year.—Bal timore American. An Interesting Lot of Prisoners. A dozen or more of the renegade con spirators who recently attempted to aid the rebel cause by burning Chicago, were received from that place at General Willich’s (post) headquarters Thursday, and were immediately sent by Captain Booth to McLain Barracks. Among them are Colonel Marmaduke, brother of the notorious rebel of that name, and Captain St. Meger Grenfield. There were, also, in the lot, Judge Morris and wife, of Chicago, and Captain Bocking (of shell and grenade fame) of Indi anapolis. A military commission will be convened here in the course of a week or two, for the purpose of trying these people, together with the guerril las, whos arrest, as published by us some time since, made such a sensation here. Somebody says, by telegraph, that Hood’s army has no pontoons. It is a mistake. They have a good pontoon train. It was not long enough, we see stated in the rebel newspapers, to span the Tennessee River, except at an Is land, where one branch of the river was bridged on trestles. At latest ac counts, Hood had not lost the pontoons. As he depends upon hard marching to get away, and it is necessary to cross rivers ot be captured, he has taken much better careof his boats than hie gune. V The Pennsylvanian papers are boast ful of the few regiments they have in the armies of Thomas and Sherman. It is a legitimate subject of pride in a State or neighborhood to have Aoldiers in each armies: and the people of Ohio, Indiana, and .Illinois feel it in the lar gest degree. TO CONSUMPTIVES.
