EXPULSION OF SENATOR EBIGHT.
- Last Wednesday, January the 5tb,the U. S.
Senate, by a vote of 32 yeas to 14 naya, ex
pelled Jesso D. Bright, U. S. Senator from
the State ol Indiana, for disloyal conduct.
Viewed in its personal aspects, it is said to
have boen one of the most solemn and affect
ing scenes ever witnessed in the Senate
Chamber. Every eye of the concourse of
spectators was fixed on the man, who, after
serving seventeen years in the capacity of
Senator, was to be expelled for encouraging,
if not being guilty of, one of the most henious
offences known to the laws. Tbo expulsion of
Mr. Bright must not, however, be looked up
on as amounting to a conviction of treason,
as was contended by some of those who weie
opposed to tha resolution. The simple ques
tion was, whether Jesse D. Bright, after wri
ting the letter he did to Jeff. Davis, was a fit
person to perforin the duties devolving upon
him in bis representative capacity, as a Sena
tor of a loyal State ? The body, of which he
'was a member, thought not. By its course,
the Senate regarded him, as Mr. Sumnor ex
pressed it, in the light of a trustee, whose
fidelity, as trustee, was drawn into question,
and as no ona is allowed to continue in that
capacity whoso character is not above suspi
cion, the case of the Senator should obviously
be remanded to the State for which he assum
ed to act.
But, now, what did he write ? .Nearly two
months after the Kebels and traitors had fired
on the Star of the West, and when one of Jeff.
Davis' commanders haJ batteries planted all
about Fort Sumptcr, Mr. Bright wrote the
following note for a "friend :"
"Washington, March 1, 1SC1.
"My Bear Sir: Allow me to introduce to
your acquaintance my friend Thomas B. Lin
coln, of Texas. He visits your capital mainly
to dispose of what he regards a great improve
ment in fire-arms. I recommend him to your
favorable consideration as a gentleman of the
first respectability, and reliable in every re
spect. Jesse D. Bright.
. "To Etis Excellency, Jefferson Davis,
''President of the Confederation of States.
It will be observed that Bright addresses
Davisas"President of theConfedcrate States,"
thus recognizing his treason and usurpation,
lie sends his "friend" to Davis's "Capital,"
thus recognising the disruption of the Union.
The object of his friends visit is stated to be
the dsiposal of a "great Improvement in fire
arms," which are much needed by the trait
ors ; and endorses his "friend" a9 reliable in
every respect." ,
... We believe every thinking reader will ad
mit, that no man, whose heart was not with
the enemies of his country, would write such
a letter, and every true patriot will commend
the U. S. Senate for not shrinking from its
plain duty, unpleasant as it may have been.
We append the vote on the resolution to
expel Mr. Bright!

The Crt of Despair. If anything were
wanting to show that the -Rebels are in the
extremity of despair, the "Address to the peo
ple of Georgia," which will bo found else
where, will, we think, supply the deficiency.
Men who had the slightest support would not
insist that "every woman should have a torch,"
and "every child a fire-brand" to apply to de
stroy their own homes, and to 'make "the
fields of their heritage desolate," rather than
they should fall into the hands of the patriot
ic men of the North. Every sober man must
feel that the canse must be accursed which
deals in that stylo . with the strongest and ho
ttest of buruan sensibiHtie! -- ;
THE NATIONAL FINANCES.
The House-of Representatives, has at length
done something for the national Treasury and
the public credit. Mr. Stevens' substitute
for the Treasury note bill of the Committee of
Ways and Means, was passed on the 6th by the
decisive vote of 93 to 59. It authorizes the
issue of demand Treasury notes, without in
terest, to the amount of $lo0. 000,000, of which
$50,000,000 are to be in lieu of the notes issued
under the act of July 17th, 18G1, which are to
be taken up as rapidly as possible. The notes
are to be a legal tender for all purposes. The
bill also authorizes the issue of 6 per centum
coupon bonds to the amount of $500,000,000,
redeemable at the pleasure of the Government
after twenty years from date, the interest to be
paid semi-annually. At no time except one
of extreme danger, when the necessity was
most urgent, could the passage of such a bill
bo urged. But every motivo of patriotism
and safety makes us rejoice over the work of
Thursday last, and we trust that the Senate
may act upon the bill asjdecidedly and rapid
ly as the House. Its passage will strengthen
the Government for the work it is engaged iu,
will restore confidence among business men,
and will ensure to the country a currency that
will not be liablo to fluctnations according to
the caprices of the banks and speculators.
The theory of a hard currency if it could be
carried out to the letter may be very good,
but as every one must now admit its ulter im
practicability, a currency of notes well secur
ed by the taxes and real propertj of this great
people is the only alternative, and will answer
every conceivable purpose for which it is re
quired. It is not as has been said, an effort
to make paper gold, but to make it for the
purposes of exchange equal to gold ; and those
who have studied the business currency of the
country which we have had heretofore, and
can believe that the United States cannotj
make as good a one, must surely be wanting
in some faculty necessary to constitute a
sound mind, and those who attempt to defeat
the legal tender clause by drawing compari
sons between notes for which the property and
faith of this, nation is pledged, and French as-
signants, Continental money, or Confederate
shinplasters, are either void of common sense
or wish to outrage, tho self-respect of the com
munity. IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE.
President Lincoln and Hon. Simon. Cameron.
From the JIarrisburg Telegraph J
The following correspondence will bo recog
nized by tho American people as a portion of
that great material that will hereafter be used
in making up the history of the struggle in
which the American people are now engaged
ior mo permancy ot the union ana tue success
of Constitutional liberty. The fact now first
divulged to the public at large by this corre
spondence, although known to the intimate
personal friends of the distinguished gentle
man whom it so closely concerns and so high
ly interests, was nevertheless confidentially
withheld from the nation, in the certainty that
it would at some future day, bo laid before
the people of the country in its present shape,
subserve the end of that justice and honorable
vindication which it now so completely
achieves and establishes. The letter of the
President of the United States will be hailed
by the friends of the Hon. Simon Cameron as
the realization of their faith and confidence in
the ex-Secretary of War. It is an official an
nouncement of a fact which has been perverted
and misconstrued as much for the injury and
destruction of the Union, as it was hoped it
would malign and defame an object alike of
their hatred and fear; and when the people,
whose confidence has been so much abused by
the assaults on thetcharacter and reputation of
General Cameron, have read and pondered
the letter of President Lincoln, they will re-J
new their confidence and esteem for the man
thus assailed, and, with the Telegrajih. accept
the testimony of the President of the United
States as to the noblest vindication which an
honorable man and upright public servant
could desire or even demand.
Although, as it will be seen, this correspon
dence is marked private, its publication was
rendered absolutely necessary, as welltomain
tho truth of history as to serve the ends of
justice. This must explain its appearance in
the columns of the Telegraph. The letter of
the President, in his owu hand writing, reads
as follows :
Private. "Executive Mansion,
Washington, Jan. 11, 1862. J
"Dear Sir : Though I have said nothing
hitherto in response to your wish, expressed
long since, to resign your seat in the Cabinet,
I have not been unmindful of it. I have been
only unwilling to consent to a change at a time,
and under circumstances which might give
occasion to misconstruction, and unable, till
now, to see how such misconstruction could
be avoided.
"But the desire of Mr. Clay to return home
and to offer his services to his country in the
field, enables me now to gratify your wish,
and at tho same time evince my personal re
gard for you, and my confidence in your abil
ity, patriotism, and fidelity to public trust.
"I therefore tender to your acceptance,if you
still desire to resign your present position, the
post of Minister toliussia. Should you accept
it, you will bear with you the assurance ol my
undiminished confidence, of ray affectionate
esteem, and of my sure expectation that, near
the great Sovereign whose personal and hered
itary friendship for tha United States so
much endears him to Americans, you will be
able to render services to your country ,not less
important than thoso you could render at horn.
"Very sincerely, your friend.
"A. Lincoln."
"Hon. Simon Cameron, Secretary of War."
The reply f General Cameron to tho -letter
of the President, is couched in the same frank
and manly spirit which characterized his per
sonal and official , intercourse with the Chief
Magistrate, while he was a member of the Cab
inet. President Lincoln had reminded Sec
retary Cameron of a desire long expressed" 6'
leave the Cabinet, which desire is reiterat&d"
by the Secretary of War, but not however
without first reminding the President of the
herculian tusk which had been accomplished
of the' kindly feeling which distinguished
their personal and official intercourse and o
the reluctance with which he had first accept
ed a position in his administration. Such
confessions and acknowledgements, emanating
from such men, cannot fail in eliciting the pro
found respect of the country. Nor will the
tender by the President of another important
position to General Cameron, while he accepts
his resignation as Secretary of War, fail to
increase the respect and confidence of the
people for both Gen. Cameron and tho Presi
dent, as tho evidence of the lormer's strength'
and character as a Statesman , and the fact of
the discernment and discretion of the latter
as an Executive officer. Altogether, this cor
respondence must form a chapter of remarka
ble interest in the history of the National Ad
ministration, at once fraught with noble viudi
cation, frankly expressed confidence, and
manly reciprocity both of personal and officiaj
respect and esteem.
Gen. Cameron's reply to tho Presideut is as
follows :
"War Department,
Washington, Januarv 11, 1862,
"My Dear Sir : I have the honor to ac
knowledge your favor of this date,und to thank
you, with profound respect, for its kind and
generous tone. When you were elected Pres
ident, a result to which I contributed my best
exertions, I had no thought of leaving the
Senate ol the United States, or of acceptiug
any position within your gift. But when you
invited mo to Springfield, Illinois, and pre
sented me ttie choice ot one ol two named
places in thw li&t of your constitutional ad
visers, I could not, for grave public reasons,
and after great reflection, refuse a trust so
trying and laborious. My life had been cue
of constant labor and excitement. I looked
to the Senate as the best field, after such a
life, iu which to serve my country and ray
State. It was only vrhen I realized that I
. A. . .
migiiL oo oi service 10 tne genurat cause in
the darkly foreshadowed future, that I ventured
to undertake tho manifold and various respon
sibilities of the War Department. I felt when
I saw the traitors leaving their seats in Con
gress, and when the Star of the West was fired
upon in Charleston harbor, that a bloody con-
ilict was inevitable.
"I have devoted myself without interruption
to my otucial duties, and have given to them
all my energies. I have done my best. It
was impossible, in the direction of operations
so extensive, but that some mistakes should
I have happened, and some complications and
complaints should have arisen. In view of
such considerations 1 thank you for tho ex
pression of your confidence iu my ability,
patriotism and fidelity to public trust. Thus
my own conscientious sense of doing my duty
by the .Executive and by my country, is ap
proved by the acknowledged head of the Gov
ernment himself.
"When I became a member of your adminis
tration I avowed my purpose to retire from
the Cabinet as so."n as my duty to my country
would allow me to do so. In your letter of
this day's date, so illustrative of your just and
upright character, you revive tho fact that I
sometime ago expressed the same purpose to
you, and in reminding mo of this you proffer
for my acceptance one of the highest diplo
matic positions at your bestowal, as an addi
tional mark of your confidence and esteem.
"In retiring from the War Department, I
feel that the mighty army of the United States
is ready to do battle lor the Constitution ; that
it is marshalled by gallant and cxpeiienccd
leaders; that it is animated with the greatest
enthusiasm for the good cause, and also that
my successor in this Department, is my per
sonal friend, who unites to wonderful intellect
and vigor, the grand essential of being in
earnest in the present struggle, and of being
resolved upon a speedy and overwhelming tri
umph of our arms.- I therefore frankly accept
the new distinction you have tendered me, and
as soon as an important and long neglected
private business can be arranged, I will enter
upon the important duties of the mission
which you have assigned me.
"I have the honor to be, my dear sir,
"Your obedient and humble servant,
"Simon Cameron."
"Abraham Lincoln, President."
Shocking Casualty from Rock Oil. On
Thursday morning 30th January, near Corry
station, on tho Philadelphia and Erie Rail
road, a women named Costello, when kindling
the fire in the morning, dipped a handful of
shavings into a bucket of crudo petroleum and
then set fire to them, causing such a great
flame that she upset tho bucket and fired the
inflammable oil by dropping the shavings into
it. The husband and children were lying in
bed in the same room. Iler screams attracted
the attention of people outside, who dared
not venture into the fire, and they called upon
her to come out. She replied that she would
not come without their children, and seizing
of one of them the eldest, aged two years
in her arms, she attempted to make her
escape, but by this time was overcome by
strangulation, and had to remain and be burn
ed with the building, which was soon in ruins.
The husband somehow managed to escape, but
so badly burned in his efforts to save his fam
ily that he cannot survive. The mother
was taken from the ruins a blackened, charred
mass, with the remains of the child still in
her arms, both bodies burned to the bone, the
cooked flesh quivering in detached portions
from the trunks, tho extremities almost en
tirely consumed. The younger child, aged
one year, was burned to a coke-like mass,
with scarcely the resemblance of the human
being left.
Slavebt Responsible. for the Rebellion.
The New York Commercial Advertiser, one
of the most conservative sheets published in
New York, but thoroughly loyal, has the fol
lowing candid admission with regard to the
cause of the great rebellion :
"If there is any iact more obvious than an
other, in connection with the present revolt,
it. is that its fons et origo was slavery an in
stittion which long since attempted to choke
down free discussion at the Xorth as well as
at the South ; which had been revolutionary
precisely in proportion to the per centage of
black bondsmen to free white men in the sev
eral Southern States. Wherever less than ten
P?r cent, of the population is enslaved, the
district is loyal at heart; wherever more than
twenty-five per cent, the ruling element is in
close sympathy with rebellion, if not in open
insurrection.' We need not go further into
particulars. The "idea" cf slavery is as truly
responsible tor this war as that of freedom was
for the revolution of 1776. People hitherto
the most conservative admit this, or if they do
not openly avow their convictions, they feel
it in their hearts."
Very Laconic An amusinjr sword presen
tation was made on the 17th, by the officers of
tha Seventy-eight Pennsylvania to their'Chl-
onel, William Sirwell. The presentation
speech of Captain Gillespie, was: Here we
are, and here it is. This is a bully sword, and
comes from bully fellows. Take It, and use
it in a bully manner." Colonel Sirwell's re
ply, was : "Captain that was a bully speech.
Let us take a bully drink."
-IMPORTANT SOUTHERN MANIFESTO. :
Address of Howell Cobb, Tcoaibs, Crawford and
T.S.Cobb.
To the people of Georgia.
Fellow Citizens : In a few days the provision
al government of the Confederate States will
live only in history. With it we shall deliver
up the trust we have endeavored to use for
your benefit, to those more directly selected
by yourselves. The public record of our acts
is familiar to you, and requires no further ex
planation at our hands. Of thoso matters
wuicn policy has required to be secret, it
would be improper now to speak. This ad
dress therefore will have no personal reference
r.. .. ii j .i ... .,
.icmcnuii uasureu wiai mere exists no ne
cessity for us to arouse your patriotism, nor to
inspire your conudenee. We rejoice with you
in the unanimity of our State, iu its resolution
and its hopes. And we are uroud with vou
that Georgia has been "illustrated," and we
aouut not win be illustrated again b' her sons
in our holy struggle. The first campaign is
over; eacn party rests in place, while the
winter's snow declares an armistice from on
high. ' The results in the field are familiar to
you, and we will not recount them. To some
important facts we call your attention :
First The moderation of our own Govern
meut and the fanatica I madness of our enemies
have dispersed all differences of opinion a
mong our people, and united them forever in
the war or Independence. In a few Border
States a waning opposition is giving way be
fore tho stern logic of developing facts. The
world's history does not give a parallel in
stance of a revolution based upon such una
nimity among the people.
ft r-v i . . . . .
oecone uur enemy nas exnioited an energy,
a perseverence and an amount of resources
which we had hardly expected, and a disregard
of constitution and laws which we can hardly
credit. The result of both, however, is that
power, which is the characteristic element of
despotism, and renders it as formidable to its
enemies as it is destructive to its subjects.
intra immense army nas been or";an-
izd for our destruction, which is beii-g dis
ciplined to the unthinking stolidity of regu
lars, u ltn tne exclusive possession of the
seas, our enemy is enabled to throw upon the
shores of every State the nucleus of an armv.
And the threat is made, and doubtless the at-
tempi w mi iouow in eariy spring to crusn us
with a giant's grasp by a simultaneous move
ment along our entire borders.
Fourth With whatever alacrity our people
may rush to arms, and with whatever enenry
.. . . .
jui uuieriimeni may use us reasources. we
cannot expect to cope with our enemv either
in numbers, equipments or munitions of war
To provide against these odds we must look to
desperate courage, unflinching daring and
universal tself-seci ifice.
Fifth The prospect of foreign interference
is at least a remote one, and should not be re
lied on. If it comes, let it be only auxiliary
to our own preparation lor freedom. To our
God and ourselves alone we should look.
These are stern facts, perhaps some of them
are unpalatable. But we are deceived in you
it you would have us to conceal them in order
to deceive you. The only question for us and
for yon is, as a nation and individually, what
nave we to do l k answer :
First As a nation we should be united, for
bearing to one another, frowning upon all fac
tious opposition and censorious criticisms, and
giving a trustful and generous confidence to
those selected as our leaders iu the camp and
the council chamber.
Second e should excite every nerve and
strain every muscle of the body politic to
maintain our financial and military healthful
ness, and, by rapid aggressive action, make
our enemies feel, at their own firesides, the
horrors or a war brought on by themselves.
I he most important matter for you, howev
er, is your individual duty. What can you do ?
1 tie toot ot tno oppressor is on the soil of
Georgia. He comes with lust in his eye,
poverty in his purse and hell in his heart. He
comes a robber and a murderer. How shall
you meet him? With the sword, at the
threshold! With death for him or for your
self! But more than this let every woman
have a torch, eveiy child a firebrand let the
loved homes of youth be made ashes, and the
fields of our heritage be made desolate. Let
blackness and ruin mark your departing steps
ii uepari, you musi, ana ibt a Oesert more ter
rible than Sahara welcome the Vandals. Let
every city be levelled by the flame, and every
village be lost in ashes. Let your faithful
slaves share your fortune and your crust.
Trust wife and children to the sure refuge and
protection of God preferring even for these
loved ones the charnel house as a home, that!
loathsome vassalage to a nation already sunk
below the contempt of the civilized world.
This may be your terrible choice, and deter
mine at once and without dissent, as honor and
patriotism and duty to God require.
Fellow Citizens Lull not yourselves into a
fatal security. Be prepared for every contin
gency. This is our only hope for a sure and
honorable peace. If our enemy was to-dav
convinced that the feast herein indicated would
welcome hnn in every quarter of this Confed
eracy, we know his base character well enough
io ieei assured no would never come. Let,
then, the smoke of your homes, fired by wo
men's hands, tell the approaching foe that over
sword and bayonet they will ruslTonly to fire
and ruin.
We have faith in God and faith in you. He
is blind to every indication of Providence who
has not seen an Almighty hand controlling the
events of the past year. The wind, th j wave,
the cloud, the mist, the sunshine and the
storm have all ministered to our necessities.
and frequently succored our distresses. We
deem it unnecessary to recount the numerous
instances which have called forth our gratitude.
vv e would join you in thankssivlns and nraise.
"If God be for i.s, who can be against hs ?"
jMor would we condemn your confident look
to our armies, when they can meet with a foe
not too greatly their superior in numbers.
The year past tells a story of heroism and
success, of which our nation will never be
ashamed. These considerations, however,
should only stimulate us to greater deeds and
nobler efforts. An occasional reverse we must
expect such as has depressed us within the
last low days : This is only temporary.
Wonaveno fears of the result the final
issue. You and wa may have to sacrifice our
lives and fortunes m the holy cause, but our
honor will be saved untarnished, and our
children's children will rise up to call us
"blessed."

A Contemptible Political Trick. A dis
patch to the .New York Evening Post sars :
"A number of the democratic members of
Congress will oppose the taxation bills, which
are to be reported to Congress, hoping tliere-
oy io win popularity with the people. Thev
apparently have no desire to prevent the pas
page of the bill in question, but on the other
hand desire the people to understand that a Re
publican administration is forced thus to tax
the people, while they vote against it."

IUOSPIICTITS OF THE
TAL MONTHLY Th
COX TIN EN
here are nerinds
j i.t. . . .
in me woria s nisiory market by extraordinary
and violent crises, sudden as the breaking forth
ot a volcano, or the bursting of a storm on the
ocean, ibese crises weep away in a moment tho
landmarks of generations. They call out fresh
talent, kiitl give to the old new direction. It is
then that new ideas are born, new theories devel
oped. Such periods demand fresh exponents, and
new men ior e. plunders.
This Continent has lately been convulsed by
an upheaving so sudden and terrible that tho re.
lations of all men and all classes to each other are
violently disturbs I. and people look about for the
elements with which to sway the storm and di
rect the whirlwind. Just at present, wo do not
know what all this is to bring forth ; but we do
know that great results must flow from such ex
traordinary commotions.
At a juncture so solemn and so iinnort.mt. there
is a special need that the intellectual force of the
country should be active and efficient. It is a
tune for great minds to speak their thoughts bold
Iy,ail to take position as the advance guard. To
this end, there is a speeialwant unsupplicd. Ifis
that of an Independent Magazine, which shall be
open to the urst intellects of the land, and which
shall treat the issue presented, and to be presented
to the country, in a tone no wav temnered bv nar-
tizanship, or influenced by fear, favor or the hope
uiicnmu, wuicu tnan seize nna grapple witn
the momentous subjects that the present disturbed
state of affairs heave to the surface, and which
can not be laid aside or neglected.
To meet this want, the undersigned have com
menced, under the editorial charire of Charles ll.
Leland, the publication of a new Magazine, devot-
A i JV-.r ii . -
;v yy uiiiaiiiii; jiliu UllOUai 1 OllOy.
In Poii'.ics, it will udvocate, with all the force
at its command, measures best adapted to preserve
the oneness and integrity of these United States.
It will never yield to the idea of any disruption
of this Republic, peaceably or otherwise; and it
will discuss with honesty and imjtfcrtiality what
must be done to save it. In this department, some
of the most eminent statesmen of th5 time will con
tribute regularly to its pages.
In Literature, it will be sustained by the
best
writers ami ablest thinkers of this country.
.Among its attractions will be presented, in an
early number, a' New Serial of American Life,"
by Itichard Kimball. Esq.. the verv nonular author
of "The Revelations of Wall Stroer,.:' '-St. l.e.r,.r."
tc. A series of natters bv lion. Hornce (J reel v.
embodying the distinguished author's observations
on the erowth and develnnment of the- tJre;it
West. A series of articles by the author of
"Through the Cotton States." containing the re
sult of an extended tour in the5 seashore Slave
States, just urior to the breaking "out of the war.
and presenting astartling and truthful picture of
the real condition of that region. Xo pains will
be spared to render tho literarv attractions of the
Continental both brilliant and substantial The
lyrical or descriptive talents of the most eminent
literati have been promised to its naires : and
nothing will be admitted which will not be dis
tinguished by marked energy, originality, and
solid strength. Avoiding every indueuco or as
sociation partaking of clique or coterie, it will be
open to all contributions of real merit, even from
writers differing materially in their views ; the
only limitations required being that of devotion
tojthe Union, and the only standard of acccptanci
that of intrinsic excellence.
Xhe Editorial Department will pmliraeo. in ad
dition to vigorous and fearless comments on the
events of the times, menial cossin with the reader
on all current topics, and also devote abundant
space to those racy specimens of American wit and
uumor, witnout which there can be no pertect ex
position of our national character Among those
who will contribute regularly to this department
may be mentioned the name of Charles F. Browne
(Artemus Ward), from whom we shall nresentin
the March number, the firstof an entirely new and
original series of "tdtetchesof Western Life "
lue Continkntel will be liberal and progres
sive, without yielding to chimeras and hopes be
yond the grasp of the age ; and it will endeavor
to reflect the feelings and interests of the Ameri
can people, and to illustrate both their serious and
humorous peculiarities. In short, no pains will
be spared to make it the Representative Ma?azino
of the time.
