.WE give on the second: page of today's
raper the Thanksgiving Sermon preached
'by Rev. Ssirunel J. Niccolls in the Presby
' 4.erian Church, on last Thanksgiving day.
•It is remarkable for the fearless ,enuncia
, ;don of religious truth bearing tipcin the
.greatAtiestions of the day, and will be read
with uncommon interest. It is singularly
pointed and- elocitent.
VARIOUS rumors have found their way
into the papers relative to the resigbation
if Senator White, of Indiana; and we now
justified in stating, 'what liasi been
knowii in, confidential circles for some time,
''ihatitii resignation is in' the .hands
lather, Judge White, who can give iN effect
tat any time by handing it to the Executive.
.The Speaker .of the Senate can issue his

.Vhether the legigatitieis in session or not, -
and a? successor can be had for Mr. '‘rVhite
in twenty days.: The " friends " of Jeff.
;Davis in the North, who took so much pains
to, apprise La of the necessity of ref Using
"40, exchange Senator White, becaus4 of his
political importance, have been rather out
-witted by— " we dinna choose to tell!"
We are not without hope= that i Major
:White may yet be exchanged in time to be

Butler is about to try the rebels in the mat-
Jer of exchange exactly in their own way,
and they cannot well decline- to deal with
him. If they accept th,e rebel prisoners he
;,sends, Major White will 'doubtlessi be ex-
Ahanged with the rest, as since his resigna
tion is.On hand, he ceases to be of special
importance to the rebels. The district rep-

Senator Wilson, chairman of Military
Affairs in the Senate, has reported.an amend
4.4 . Conscription bill, which, however deice
live in details, meets the great want of the
Nation. It will furnish men it' not clogged
with the vexatious delays and circumlocu

either in furnishing - soldiers or in;strength

The question of framlng a!bill now so as
to secure men rather than rn i one ° y, and 'deal
justly with all classes—those who have been
drafted heretofore and those yet to be draft
ed—is by 'no means free from embarrass- .
went.. But the first great consideration—
the imperative, pressing necessity for men
—must ever be kept in view, and ineqttali
ties must be suffered, if need he, rather
than allow our armies to be unequal to the
duty of closing out the remnant of the re
bellion by another autumn. We are not
clear that any serious injustice is necessary,
if wisdom prevails in Congress; but the
peolla Will accept anything rather than
have the war prolonged' indefinitely for
thereby would the. greatest 1 possible.ojus
tice and peril beinfiicted upon them.. ,
There is one Way, it seems' to us, by
- which the great end could-be attained with
equal and exact justice to, all. Let the,gov
eminent abolish all unjustifiable. exemp
tions ; perfect, the rolls by the addition 'of
such naives as should be ,added; call out
the entire enrolment not herdofore drawn, of
both contingents, under' the existing law;
'allow any- one to be exempt from presebt
service by the payment of three hundred
dollars, and pay alike amount as a bounty
to any drafted man who serves in person.
This would furnish probably double the
amount of men, in proportion to the num
ber drafted, that the We draft supplied,
and would besides place - the entire militia
force of the government on the same foot
ing. If the number accepting service, and
the volunteers which might be proctired by
the use - of the commutation fund, should
prove unequal to the wants of the govern
ment, then a new draft could be made from
the original and entire enrolment, requir
ing service either in person or by substi
tute. All this could be done, and .au am
ple number of troops added to our veterans,.
before the first of April, and our armies
would be invincible at every point. - We
can conceive of no simpler 'or
_more practi
cable method of securing troops, and it has
the merit of dealing justly with the people.
If the three hundred , dollar clause be strick
en out, and the men drafted'now are re
quired to serve in persori or pay, from five
hundred to one thousand:dollars for substi
tutes, there will be' manifest hardships im
posed upon those yet to he drafted which
were not imposed upon the late conscripts.
The armies must be, filled up within the
next ninety days. If this is not done we
shall have a purely defensive campaign,
and in the end. a most disastrous one, du
ring the next spring and summer : and upon
Congress. and not upon the people, will the
responsibility rest. The people have done
everything the government could ask of
thew. They have surrounded the admin
istration with a majorityi of Congreismen,
Chosen solely -because -Of their supposed
fidelity to every measure: necessary to bring
the war, to a speedy' and . honorable close.
They will cheerfully comply with conscrip
tions., pay taxes, maintain government se
curities, and do all things necessary to pre-,
serve the life of the Republic ; and Con
gresshas but to demand men bountifully
and wisely to win the confidence of the peo
ple and deal alait death-blow to the rebel
lion. Let the certain 'provision for men be
ample—more than enough rather than less,
and our veterans will i nearly all reenlist;
our armies will be more than equal to the
great task ; the effusion : of blood and sacri
fice of life will be spared', for the rebels could
nowhere withstand our overwhelming hosts,
and the war would be aertainly, economical
ly and triumphantly cloSed before the 4th
of July next. Rebel l sympathizers and
half fledged, traitors in Congress will of
coursequibble and resist such a Ineast - i;
and rebels and,contractors everywherewould
be sad at the dawn of Peace ; but the Na
tion would bless the Congress that thus
summarily, terminated this horrible, .bloody,
fraternal strife, by making the loyal power
so strong that treason, could not resist it.
The short road to' Peace is through over .
whehming armies. Let us have them at
once, and the war will be ended—the Nation
be preserved to fulfil its high mission in
Civilization and Freedom.
The House of Representatives at Wash
ington haS made a 'declaration relative to
„the - rebellion that will be - responded to by
every loyal heart. - Hon. Greenklay Smith,
from Kentucky, offered a r series of 'resolu
tions defining the position of the ,govern
ment andlts loyal supporters in the clearest
manner, of which the first was ai-follows:
"Resolved, That as !our country and the
very existence of the best Government ever
instituted by man is, imperiled by the most
immoral, causeless, and-wieked rebellion that
the world has ever seen; and; believing as we
do that the only hope of saving this country
and preserving the Government is by the
power of the sword, we arp for the most vi -
°row prosecution of the war until the Consti
tution and laws shall be enforced and obefeil
'in all parts of the United states; and, to that
end, we oppose any armistice, or intervention,
or mediation, or.propoSitio.n for peace from
any quarter, so long a& there shall be ,found a
rebel in arms against the Government.' And
we ignore all party naives, line's, and issues,,
Lied recognize but two partils this war,
ykz: patriots and traitors. •

hadhe heen there.: :
•
Mr: Smith's second and third re.solutions,
which were adopted by only one dissenting
voice, (that of Mr. Benjamin.(. Harris, of
Maryland,) were as follows:
Resolve/ 4 , That we hold it to be the duty
of Congress to—pass all necessary bills to
supply men and money, and the duty of
the .people to render twory aid in their
power to • the constituted authorities of the
Government in• the crushing out of the re
bellion.
Resolved, That our thanks,are tendered
to our sdldiers fri the field for their gallantry
in defending and upholding the flag of the
Union, and defending the great principles
dear to every American patriot."
Of the 60 who voted to lay the first res
olution on the table; Mr. Harris was the
only, one who maintained his consistency.
He voted scivarely for his principles clear
through—opposing means and thanks to our
soldiers, while the others declared against
th 9 war and then got on their marrow bones
toovote in favor of carrying it on. The nri
disguised rebel Harris is more to be respect•
ed tban the bowards who share his belief
but:dare not avow it except by the assassin

If i 'he Will properly. appreciate-the compli

- AWE presume Gen. Coffroth has a brother.
If he hasn't he certainly should' hare one.
Unless.his parents died untimely they should
have made up in quantity the lamentable
failure in quality as exemplified in the Gen.

wickedly and with murderous intent, assail

ei,al defend - himself and his loved ones, or
would he - sit dOwn in the midst of the
slaughter to • determine with - legal ai , :ety
the proper construction to be put upon the
command—" Thou shalt not kill ?" Or,
having determined to• resist, and when
about to, assert his power over the brutal
6atricide, would he stop, while the mur
derous arm was. yet uplifted over him, Ind
say—" Take of my goods and possessions
that which will satisfy thy desires; thy
expenses shall be paid ; thy wounds healed,
• •
and let there he peace and fraternity between
thee and me?" Perhaps he would—per-.
haps not. If he would, then did be fitly
illustrate his brotherly forbearance 'in voting
for Fernando Wood's resolution, proposing
to send commissioners to apologize to the
rebels for the war, and ask them back. into
the Union on their own terms. Generous
General ! •
GEN. BUTLER is about to try to solve the
difficulty about the exchange of prisoners.
He will send 500 rebel prisoners to Com
missioner Ould and ask 500 Union men in
'return,-without reference to any cartel, or
the various disputes between the govern
ment and the rebels relative to nunthersur
Colored troops. If the rebel prisoners arc
aPPPpted and a like number of Uniou 'troops
given up, he will promptly send enough of
rebels to resnnnall pur prisoners now in Te--
bel hands from their atrocious barbarity.
This the reels eti t nnot refuse- without pia-,
iting themselves sq - uarely before the World
as determined to starve, and' doom to wast
ing disease - and death our unfortunate pris-
oilers.- • There can be no quibbles about such
'a propositiOu, as the exchange, as far as it
goes, commits neither side on any - of the
disputed questions. As we have about
three piisone' rs to their one, Gen. Butler
can well afford to exchange until he 'comes
to negroes and negro officers without raising
any issue concerning 'them; and when he
gets down to
,them, we'll trust Butler to see
to their cases.
, GEN. COPEROTH, our IL C., has' been
floating very loosely - since the 'organization
of the House. He started out about "right,
voting on one or•two preliminary questions
with the Union men ; but when Fernando
Wood proposed to recognize the rebels by
sending Official CommissiOners to apologize
for the warand beg tlibm to comp back and
take all they want•, Coffroth went plump
for Jeff Davis: Thb following is
, the reso
lution for which he voted with 58 others,
while 98 voted to entomb it on the table:
Resolved. That the President be requested
,to appoint three commissioners, who shall be
empowered to open negotiations with tht au
thorities at Richmond; to the end that,this
bloody, destructive, and inhuinan war Mall
cease, and the TJnion.be restored upon terms
of equity. fraternity, and equality, under the
Cuustitution.
We think that the. General must have
mistaken his latitude. He certainly imag
ined himself in the rebel Congress. 4
TEE Union State Committee of Maryland
have issued an address to the legislature
,and the -people of that State, urging imme
diate emancipation. The Baltimore Amer
ican, in an article reviewing the address
says:
'Shivery: died - in-Maryland with the first
hostile gun firedat Fort Sumter—that annul
led the V'ugitive Slave Act more:brfectualty
than a Congressional vote could have dope it;
and the sound of rebel cannon proclaimed to
the slave in ail the Border States that he was
free whenvver he chose to assert his freedom.
'Gradual Emancipation,' under such 4 con
dition of affairs, seemed to us like filth:lig
with a subject that was, no longer within our
controlwith' a thing of the past, forever out
of our reach-=like procrastinating the burial
of the dead to the. injury of the health and
well-being of the living members of the
household. If Slavery was thus dead in
Maryland- then, how much more so is it now,
whexiiit must cease to exist in all the States
South of us ?"
REPORTS from Washington state :that
Congress will adjourn today over the holi
days. We earnestly hope not. two weeks
lost now, when the country is waiting for
Congress teperfect the conscription.law,
would be an unpardonable waste of time.
Do.meMbers, of Congress reMember that
we havp'but ninety days in which to perfect
legislat4on, draft, organize, equip, put in
the fie P and qualify for 'service, the army
that must meet the rebels with the
,open
ing spiing? If they do there will be no
adjournment for holiday festivities until the
filling up of :our depleted armies is amply
secured.
THE armies on both sides are practically
in winter • quarters. and no movements of
moment are likely to be made North of
Gents: Gilmore's and: Banks' Departments
before spring. Gen. Giant has withdrawn
his army around Chattanooga, where he can
procure supplies readily, and , will winter
there ; ,Sherman has East *Tennessee safe
and wilt be content to hold it, and Meade
is on the Rappahannock where he must re
main until a spring campaign can be exe
cuted. Me hope by that time to have ar
mies so strong that when the- Old Flagad
vances it will " take no steps backward."
THE . Hariisburg Patriot and onion has
joined the Thugs or; Golden Circle, and like
the.fox that lost its tail, advises everybody
else to_ do so. Here is its Confession
"Ilithert; we have discountenanced ant
9ppoed "any secret organization of the I)em
beratic party—but, on the principle of fight
ing the devil with his own weapon, we now
withdraw that opposition ; and, as thf only
means of success, recommend,thatome plan,
as little objectionable as possible. be devised
for forming secret Democratic associations,
with a view to more perfect organization and
unitefd action. And let it be done soon—the
sooner the better."
JEFF DAVIS thus opens his late me - ssage
to the rebel Congress:
"Grave reverses befel our arms soon after
your departtire from Richmond. Early in
July our strongholds al-Vicksburg and-Port
Hudson, together With their entire garrisons,
capitulated to the combined land and naval
forces of the eripmy. If he important interior
position of Jackson next fell into. their' tem
porary possession. Our unsuccessful assault
on the postat Helena was followed, -at a later
period, by the invasion of Arkansas; and
the retreat of our army from Little Ruck
gave to the enemy the corftrel of the import
ant valley in which it is situated.", •
THE stcainer Chesapeake, recently cap
tured by the rebels on a voyage from New
York to the North east, has been re-cap
tured by the steamer Ella and Annie, a
rebel prize vessel. The Chesapeake was
captured in British waters, and is therefore
held there until that government can be
conferred with. - _
A REPopv, , cotueA by way of Cincinnati,
dated the 21st, that Longstreet was killed
on Monday week and his forces surrounded,
but we do'not credit it. We do not see
how his forces could be surrounded, with
his open - lines of retreat to Virginia.
ONLY eighty millions of the five hundred
millions of the "Five-Twenty" loan remain
unsubseribed.
TtrE telegraph lines have been interrupt

WAR INCIDENT.
A correspondent of the New York Herald,
writing from Knoxville, under date of No
vember 29, in giving additional details of
the fight at Fort Saunders, relates the fol- -
And now, how sudden the transformation
of man from fiend to angel.' — The agonizing
cries of the wounded and , dying- called out
the better feelings of humanity, mad, on the
very spot where an hour before the combat
ants were struggling in deadly strife, they
now commingled in the -offices of charity.
The wounded in the trenches were relievjd
by Captain Swinscoe and Lieutenant Benda-,
min, who wentto their immediate assistance,
with canteens of water and liquor. The
trench presented a .ghastly sight, with the
Mangled bodies and pools bf blood, while the
field beyond Was strewn with the same ter
rible objects. Cols. Bowen and Babcock, of
General Potter's stuff, soon after made their
appearance with a formal flag of truce, :and
passed' out upon the Kingston or Loudon
road, until :halted by the enemy's skirmish
lihe. They were met, after a brief delay, by
Col. •Serrell, of General Longstrect's staff,
when a cessation ,el luistilities was agreed
upori, to lust until five P. M., to permit the
return of the dead who were lying along our
lines, and the exchange of the wounded.
The ambulances from both sides now met
on the neutral ground, and the dead were
carried back to the rebel line, where they
were buried by their late comrades: The!of-
Ewers commingled, from generals .down to
lieutenant, as also did the soldiers, until their
officers ordel•ed them back to their respective
places: Nearly a hundred of the rebel-woun
ded, had been.carried into the city and cared
for at the hospital of the 9th Corps.
By direction ofPr. Wilder our ambulances,
with some of those of the rebels, driven by
Union soldiers, went back into the ob
tamed sucl/ of the wounded as were not fitto
be held as prisoners of war,- and delivered
theni on the dividing line, when bur ambu
lances—drivers exchanged • in turn—went
within - the rebel lines and obtained our
wounded.. So much delay in doing this that
the truce was_extended beyond 7 o'clock, the
opposing officers still 'remaining together,
chatting in . the most agreeable manner upon
every topic which suggested itself. Finally, ,
the last ambulance returned, within our;
works, the officers of the contending armies,l
who had naturally found many old friends'
and clas-mates, shook hands with the utmost
cordiality, and parted. In a few minutes
the firing of the pickets indicated the resume-i
tion of hostilities. It may be well to men 4
tion here, that the wounded returned to us
were not injured in the fighting of to-day.
HON. REVZRDY JOHNSON, of Maryland,
in a speech in the U. S. :Senate on Tuesday
,week.. took' decided Anti-Slavery grounds.
In the course of his remarks he said: "It
would be disgraceful if, -after the employ
inept of colored - men to defend its' existence,
this-government should permit them to re
turn to slavery. He thanked God they could
never be re-enslaved, It gave him pleasure
to remember that wlien he, formerly had the
honor of occupying a seat on this floor, in
1847, he declared in a debate upon- the silt
ject of slavery, that it was wrong as a sys
tem.- Morally, 'politically, and especially
economically, slavery was indefensible. The
people of this country were rapidly becoming
wiser on this subject." Mr. Johnson, in
concluding his remarks, said "the Gonstitu-.
tion will be returned to us'in its original ex
cellence, and the- men who have violated it
will be held to account—but until that day
comes we should .with one heart and voice
_unite in exerting 411e . Nyhole moral and phys
ical power of the government in putting an
end now and forever to an ambitious., unpro
voked and treasomible attempt to. destroy a
governmentthe best ever vouchsafe&to man,
and by - , destroying it constitutional liberty
itself would be destroyed."
.1 - 1.; the Rebel Congress on the Bth instant,
Senator Foote, of Tennessee, denounced
Jeff. Davis as the cause of all the disasters'to
the Rebel arms, - and charged him with ex
erting a malign influenee wherever he has
visited the troops, offering to prove that his
rulership has almost ruined the. country.
Foote expressed great indignation at the
course .pursued -by Jefferson Davis when
' Pemberton dishonorably surrendered Vicks
burg to the enemy. The President. made
him his companion, and carried him to.
Bragg's army, where, as he rode by, - the
soldiers were heard to say, " There goes the
traitor who delivered us over at Vicksburg."
The President never.
..visited the army with
out doing it injury; never yet that it was
not followed by disaSter. He nas instru
_mental •in the Gettysburg affair:- He in
t/meted Bragg 'at Murfreesboro'. He had
opened Georgia to 100,000 of the enemy's
troops, and laid South Caroling - liable to
destruction. He charged Davis with having
almost ruined the country, and declared-that
he would meet his champion anywhere to
-discuss it. .
THE Chicago Tribune, in an article on
"conservatism," says:* "If - the treacherous,
mercenary counsels of the conservativepress
and politicians had been followed to thistime
by the President, our soldiers would still be
standing guard over the property of rebels,
catching and returning loyal slaves to dis
loyal masters, suffering defeat after defeat,
contending with the enemy near the line of
3lason and Dixon; the, proclamation of free
dom would not have been tittered; the colitis
cation act would not be a law ; Chase would
not have remained in the Cabinet t i manage
the finances: greenbacks would be worth less
than 20 cents in gold; and foreign interven
tion would now be upon us, and'the destruc
tion of the Union a scaled fact.".
, TuE Washington Star publishes the follow
ing :' The authorities here have rdceived a
despatch, from Gen. Grant at Chattanooga.
The latest is Up to last night, which is dated
at 9 o'clock. It does not indicate any recent
change in the situation of affairs there., Gen.
Grunt is iu constant and direct telegraphie
communication with Gen. Foster fit Knox
ville, mid had there been any severe fighting
between Longstreet's forces and those of the
United States in pursuit of him, as the press
despatches from Cincinnati state,; General
