GOSSIP WITH OUR F HIE ND S.—Christmas
greetings to all. +A "Merry Christmas" to the
the little ones 4hose dear. tender minds retain no
impression of the terrible 30th ofJnly. A " happy
Christman" to those who escaped Unit day of
wrath. A " thankful Christmas "to the few who
can say " thy will be done;" and a "Cheerful
Christnias" to all but the poor exiles Who " at
each remove draga lengthening chain." Come,
friends, let us live in•the" past a few moments.
Let us shut oui eyes, and we will have a Benue.
eide feast. We will think of last Christmas, when
we had our happy homes, to which St. Nicholas
was sure to I come , loaded with presents for our
little ones who bad been so good the whole year
ti b
le
before, w had said their prayers regularly and
had pray God to bless them, their parents, broth
ers, sis
,ref friends, their homes and their coon
tryr—Let us each one remember his home, the
carpet, - .the furniture, the bright warm stove, the
libthe pictures, the portraits, the old mirror
that had reflected the faces of those who are now
dead,-the little sock of the dead'haby, and- the
bright curl clipped'from the marble forehead of
the coffined child. Let a tear drop, if you can
- it will do you good. My own eyes are not altogeth
er dry. Remember Christmas comes but once a
year, and it commemorates the lowly birth of our
poor. infant who grew up to have no home—" no
place to lay his head," who was persecuted and
despised, who died an ignominious death; but
who, thank God! rose from the dead, and is now
the; " first among ten thousand." While I write
the busy hum of machinery shakes the whole
building; and the roar of a city of a million of
souls strikes full upon my ear, but my heart and
mind'are in old Chambersburg. I hear familiar
voicearyea even of those who have long, long ago
left us for a better world, and it is because it is
Christmas. Once a year perhaps the dead are al
lowed to return to their old homes. Let us be
careful what we say or do at such /•time. We
may grieve many happy saints who retain their
worldly interest in as. Father, mother and sad
may be,nearus, to cheer us on our pilgrimage
thrqugfr this - wicked world; anxious to welcome
us to their happy homes in the skies ; sad and sor
', rowing when we err. It is sometimes a. comfort
to look at those behind us in the race instead of
before. Here I can daily and hourly see poor
Wretches who never had a lulme, and most likely
never will—poor little boys and girls some just
old enough to walk, standing out in the cold with
scarcely rags enough on to cover their nakedness.
One block from Broadway, with its palaces and
show, brings us to the houses, not homed, of these
outcasts. Every room in such houses represent
at least one family. Come and visit one of these
tenements, and you will never complain again. The
ground is now covered with snow, and yetthere are
hundreds in the city who have noteven old shoes to
wear. But let us leave these sad sights, having
looked at them long enough to make ue better
satisfied with our lot, and take a brighter look at
things. There his doubtless been many a merry
Christmas dinner in old C--g, many a fat
turkey boned, and many a rooster gone where
there shall be no more crowing. Many a 1 otato
has been boiled, if not frightened, out of its skin;
many an onion has made its despoiler weep for
its fate; manyopounds of beef and suet and raisins
and citron and apples, together with enough cider
and brandy to enliven "but not inebriate," have
been manufactured into what the giant told Jack
be'd make of him; turnips, pnnipkins and parsnips
have - gone down—not in price; geese have been
shorn of their feathers, and have'giveu up their
grease ; butter and eggs have been at a premium,
until thetows refused to yield milk, and the bens
to lay eggs without a further advance; full many
erblushing yet obdurate cranberry, has been soft
ened by the sweet compliments of the manly su
gar cane, as an ancient maiden under the persua
sive flattery of the only animal who carries a cane;
and to crown all, you have bad your fill of pud
dings and sausages. Imagine me 'giving a genii-
Ment—in coffee, of course—at your well spread
board: "Here is to puddings and sauttages;fresh
and smoked, bologna an4all—may the "last link"
never-"be broken.". Hip, hiNhooray,
Thank you kind' friends, "let me not-stir you up
- to sudden mutiny," but you should hear the tales
about sausages in New York. Why they say that
buttons are frequently found in them, and hails—
to(e) be.sure.
1-had a series of fearful adventures last night,
going home. It was very cold and very slippy.
I fell and might have broken my arm in two pla
ces, and may have splintered a paving stone
There were so many falling, however, that one
fall was not worth minding. Coming down a lit
tle hill I started to slide; a pretty young lady from
.an apposite height was in the same predicament.
1 tried to stop, and she tried to stop, but it was
due itse. I called out, "I can't resist." ' She
laughed; "Nor I," and so we slid gently into each
There arnia, to the intense enjoyment of the by
guiders, giving a Bohemian-looking fellow an
opportuctity of saying to me : "Well, you are a
slippery customer." Once more a happy Christ
mas to all, and to all a good-pight." Blessings on
Christmas and on old Chhmbersburg -

THE Smut' AND. RE.v. Ma. CoNnAt—The
Spirit has done a aise - thing in re-calling the midi
cionsattack upon Rev. Mr. Conrad that appeared
in its editorial coltnn4 immediately after the elec
tion. When it appeared few there were who ap
proved it—fewer still who could concede a proper
moths for it, {% bile all whose judgments were not
unbalanced by the rancor of partizan strife read
it with feelings of sorrow or contempt. We did
not then refer to it, nor did ire allow correspon
dents to do so, because we felt that the author or
parts respousible for its publication would mop
Of all regret it. Politicians who throw themselves
into the political arena are legitimate objects for
political assaults; but because ministers belie
that the powers ordained of God demand the high
est christian fidelity in maintaining them, and thus
teach their followers 'even with zeal in times of
great National peril, does not warrant the delibe
rate degradation of the clergy to the narrow pre
judices and unbridled passions which but too of
ten obtain in our political contests. This the
Spirit did with Mr. Conrad, but after wgeks of
'deliberation it has re-called its article—admits
that it was misinformed as to the true character
of Mr. Conrad's sermon, and frankly withdraws
"any harsh or offensive terms which occur in the
article alluded to." In conclusion it says:
"It affords us much pleasure to be able to state in this
cormeetion. that the temporary difficulties in the congre
gation over which Mr. Conrad is pastor, have all been am
icably and satisfactorily adjusted through the exercise of
a spirit of mutual concession and forbearance. This is as
it should be; and it is sincerely to be hoped that in the fu
ture no cause may arise to disturb the peace and harmony
of the congregation, and that true Cluistian charity, the
very essence of religion, may continuo to prevail and
abound.••
LOOK TO THE ENROLLMENT LISTS.—The
Provost Marshals sit daily, from 9to 4 o'clock,
at their headquarters, to hear the claime of per
sons, exempt from the draft. The present IS the
time for thoie who are exempt to go forward and
establish their claims.
The number of men to be drafted in each dis
trict is.estimatell from the number on the enroll
ment list, hence the necessity of reducing that
list. It is generally the case that - persons not
li
able to draft refrain from claiming exemption;
thinking that they will be all right in ease their .
names are drawn from the wheels: Their neglect
of this duty of course swells the enrollment list,
and the quota of such district is made much hea
vier than it legally should be. Now let every man
liable to the draft urge upon his neighbor; who
may be enrolled and who is not liable to go for
ward at once and have his name stricken from
the list. If a general movement of this kind was
to take place all over the county, our quota on
the pending draft might be largely reduced.
IMPORTANT NOTICE.—The Board of Enroll
ment for this district will sit, for the correction of
the enrollment lists, in Bedford on the 12th, 13th
and 14th of January ; in M'Connellsburg on the"
16th and 17th; in Gettysburg on the 20th and
21st; in Somerset on the 23th, 26th and 27th and
in Chambersburg on the 30th and 31st. All per
sons claiming exemption should appear personally
1 f possible. and conilnittees for each district should
be selected to see that all improper enrollments
should be stricken from the lists, so that the quotas
for the new call may be justly determined. Capt.
Eyster is untiring in his efforts to deal justly with
all, and if seconded by-tGe people by a proper at
tention to thdir own interests, our quotas will
want no 'recision when officially declared.
INCREASE OF SALARY.—The Convention of
School Direetori of this county - met inithe public
School house in this place on Thursday last, to
consider the propriety of -raising the salary of
Mr. M'Elwaine, County Superintendent. .1. Craig
M'Lanahan, Esq . presided and J. X. Hys
song was Secretary. The first motion was to fix
the salary of the Superintendent at $lOOO. which
was_not agreed to ; next the sum of $7OO was
disagreed to, Mid finally_ the salary was fixed at
$BOO per annum—an increase of, $2OO. Mr.
M'Elwaiue is eminently fitted for the place, and
even the increased salary is but a poor compen
sation for the services he renders.
THE Carrier of the REPosrrohr Hill make his
usual New Year Call on Monday Lest, with his
Address, and we bespeak for him a generous re
ception and liberal contributions of clean-faced
postal earreticy and veenbacki, all of which will
be taken at far. He has been threading the ruins
of Chambersburg for mouths past to deliver his
weekly budget, and now comes for his reward.

TILE LINE OF THE CHIEF JUSTICES
In the proceedings had in the Supreme Court
of the United States, on Wednesday of last week,
iu conunetuoration . of the death of Chief justice
Taney, that Inagigrate was styled the fifth in
the line of our Chief Justices. In other places
he has been styled the fourth, and in still others,
the sixth. The National Intelligvtcer says the
variation results from the omission or inclusion of'
one or bath of the names of JoIM Rutledge and
William Cushing, of whom the former was ap
pointed Chief Justice by Preside* Washington,
and took , his seat on the bench, but was rejected
by the Senate, and of whom the latter was appoin
ted by the President and confirmed by the Sen
ate, but never acted in that capacity. The cir
cumstances of their respective cases are as fol-
, While John Jay was absent in England, engag
ed in the negotiation of the British treaty of 1794,
he was chosen Governor of the State of New
York. anticipating his resignation of= the Chief
Justice,Prelident Washington offered the vacant
post to John Rutledge, of South Carolina.' In
tact, Mr. Jay's resignation was received on the
30th of June, 1795, and on the following day the
President ordered the commission of Mr. Rutledge
as Chief Justice to be made out as of the date.
The appointment of the President and the pro
mulgation of the British treaty, as negotiated by
Jay and ratified by the Senate, reached Charles
ton, the residence of Rutledge, about the same
time. The indignation of the majority of the pee
ple of Charleston at the terms of the treaty knew
no bounds, and Rutledge, sharing in this popular
sentiment, addressed an excited assemblage on
the subject in language of reprehension and re
proach, which symbolited with the most violent
diction of President Washington's political oPpo
nent. As Judge Rutledge had been a no less
trusted than able member of the Federal party,
his " imprudent sally," as 'Alexander Hamilton
styled it, was read with "pain, surprise and mor
tification." Hamilton took up his pen in reply to
Rutledge's onslaught on the treaty and the entire
Federal party, not, knowing that he had received
the appointment of Chief Justice before be had ta
ken his stand against the convention of Jay, was
indignant at his defection, or at the false complai
sance of the President, as seine supposed, when
the intelligence of hie appointment was made pub
lic, without its being known that the honor had
been tendereeto him before his opposition to the
treaty was indicated.
Chief Justice Rutledge took his seat on the
bench at the August term of the Supreme Cohrt,
which oPened at Philadelphia on the 21st of that
month, in the year 1795. On the adjournment of
the Court, after a session of but a few days; he
returned to Charleston. In November of the same
year he proceeded to Augusta to bold a term of
the Circuit Court, and soon afterwards set out to
hold the circuit in North Carolina, but was over
taken hy sickness on the way. His long and in
cessant,labors had impaired the vigor of his con
stitution, and. under the access of disease, his blind
gave Way. The rumor of his failing health con
spired' with the political rancor of the Federal ma
jority in the Senate to procure his rejection by that
body. "The Senate's refusal to confirm his ap
pointment," says the biographer from - whom we
glean these memoranda, "extinguished the last
spark jof his sanity." A burning and a shining
lightlb - our Revolutionary period, his sun went
in a cloud: lie died ,m the 16th of July. in the
year IrtlO.
After the rejection of Rutledge by the Senate,
President Washington nominated Wm. Cushing,
ofMatsachusetts, why was one of the Associate
Justices of the Supreme Court, to fill the vacancy.
He was unanimously confirmed by the Senate,
and held his commission about a week, when, ou
the ground of fading health, he returned it, de
clining the appointment. He never actually pre
sided as Chief Justice, and. "hence his name ha 4
sometimes been omitted from the line of the
Chief Justices of the United States. If we in
clude both Judge' Cushing and Judge Rutledge
in the category. Judge Chase is the seventh.—
The order of the succession is as follows: John
Jay; John Rutledge, 'William Cushing, Oliver
Ellsworth, John Marshall, Roger B. Taney. and
Sahnon P. Chase.
A NOBLE UTTERENCE.
The New York Evening Post takes noble
ground in its interpretation of the meaniniof
Mr. T.Aticoln" , i re-election, iind still nobler in its, ap
peal to loyal men of all parties, to endeavor to
unite those great energies, by the division of u kick
only the rebellion can hope to triumph :
"We do not exult in the event of the election
of yesterday as the success of use party over
another—far from it—but as another evideuee. of
the ability of the American people to govern them
selves and no maintain popular institutions on this
continent. For the first time in tilt! history of
mankind, a nation was called upon to express
its will, through the forms of a popular election,
in, regard to the conduct of a civil war, and as
suredly there was something sublime in the calm
ness and termination with which it resolved to
bear the heavy burdens of the crisis rather than
to surrender the principle of its institutions. In
the face of an administrative management that
many did not like, in the nice of several heavy
conscriptions of troops; in the face of an accumu
lating debt and a severe taxation, and against all
the,machinations of enemies abroad, who sweep
the iseas with their corsairs, the people have said:
Let the war gn on until the supremacy 01 the
Constitution and laws shall be completely indi
cated "
`ll . General McClellan had been successful in
this political contest, we should have ,taken him
atliis word as a Union oem, and lent a ready sup
port to his every measure lookifig towards a con
firmation of our national unity. We should have
endeavored to strengthen his arm against that Me
tMn of his friends who are looking in another di
relation. We shall now except as much from his
friends in regard to Mr. Lincoln. Let us have no
More of these miferahle party disputes—of this
most miserable party spirit. Our country do

the determination to prosecute the wa r with all
oar energies; and by every military means in our
possession. But in order to show that our aim is
not war but peace, let us, with every renewed et
fOttof our arms, stretch forth new overtures of
reconstruction to the misguidedmultitudes of the
South who are.followiag the ignis fatims of se

been made to sink ten wells, on lease on the Cher
ry Run property of the Company: These wells
cost the Company nothing and, it gets half the
yield of Oil.
Oil is steadily increasing in price, in conse
quence of the rapid growth of the demand abroad.
Should tne business continue to enlist the capital
and energies it now commalids, the yield of Oil
iu the nest year from this State alone, will not be
less that sloo,ooo,ooo—nearly double the reven
ues of our Coal and Iron Such is the march of
development in thegreat Keystone State.
