It is with pride and pleasure that we
give place to the following noble letter
from Major I Tarry White, of Indiana, Pa
the Senator from the Armstrong and In .
diana district, now a prisoner of war in |
Richmond, and of whose absence thecop
pcrheads of that body (it would be an
abuse of language to call such men dem
ocrats) have taken advantage, in order to
put a dead lock upon all legislation in our
State. This letter has been in the hawk
of Judge White, of Indiana, the father
i>l' the .Senator, more than two months;
and we think he is very much to blame
for witliolding it so long. The son under
stands. much better than the father, the
lofty sentiment ex pre • ed by the poet iu'

Dear Sir : Considerations I shall brtcf-
Iv state make it prudent and proper forme
to tender my resignation as a member of
the Senate of Pennsylvania. After the
adjournment of our Legislature last spring,
I rejoined my regiment and resumed my
military duties in the field. I pon the
advance of (ion. Leo's army. 'lll Juno last,
into the Shenandoah \ alley, on his Penn
sylvania campaign, tho forces with which j
I was connected were ordered to \\ inches- j
tor, and in the battle at that place I fell J
into the hands of the enemy as a prison- |
cr of war. With other Federal officers I ;
was immediately sent to Richmond, and 1
since the 23d of June have remained as j
a prisoner in the " Libby." No general j
exchange of officers has taken place in the
meantime, nor does any appear to me in
early prospect. Shut out for long months
from friends and the outer world, I have
vet not been entirely ignorant of passing
events. The recent election in our State
has. I learn, altered somewhat from the
last FUSION the political complexion of our
Senate. My absence, it teems, gives to
EACH political party lepresentcd there equal
numerical strength. This will, in all prob
ability embarrass organization and delay
necessary legislation. 1 regret this situ
ation. and am unwilling my present pei
sonal misfortune should iu any way effect
public interest, or interrupt lor a moment
• that cordial co-operation between our State
or National Government so necessary in
the crisis. IT is true, some time must
elapse before my presence in Harrisburg
is actually required, vet 1 see no hope of
release by general exchange, as the liich
mond authorities will I am convinced, re
tain me as long as pos ihle, be luse 1 am
a Senator, and my vote important.
I'udcr the circumstances, it behooves
ME to do what I can to relieve the difficul
ty likely to result from my continued im
prisonment. I all) sure you will not doubt
me when I confess it would be much more
acceptable to lny tastes and feelings to
spend the months of- the coming winter in
active legislation iu our Senate chamber,
than to languish within the gloomy walls
of a Southern prison.
My present situation places the less
agreeable alternative in prospect,and I see
hut one solution to the difficulty; other
and greater interests are involved in this
matter than my personal comfort and pri
vate inclinations. My health, ray life are
nothing to the success of those great prin
ciples I was elected to represent.
The good people of my district are
chieflly interested in this matter, and my
duty to them in the premises bus given
me many an hour of anxious solicitude in
this weary prison life. t cannot now in
any way consult with them ; they should
not, however, at this time, be-unrepresen
ted. Their generous confidence was but
recently given me, and t\iey will, I trust,
give the approval of their voice to the
step 1 now take, and select as my succes
sor one who will be as faithful to their in
terests and the great cause of our country
as 1. at least desired to be He pleased
therefore, to accept my resignation as a
Senator, from the. Twenty-First Senatorial
District. He kind enough to convey to
my brother Senators assurances of respect
and esteem. Tell them '• though east
down 1 am not dismayed," though in bonds
T am full of hope. • Tell them my prayer
and trust is, no word or deed may go out
. of the counsels of Senate, •• to weak
en tho arm or make faint the heart" of
those brave soldiWs of the Union who arc
bearing in the field to a sure and trium
phant success the greatest struggle of his
tory.
Accept, my donrsir. my kindest wishes
for your good health and future prosperity.

I Rebellion MttsiiiiHl Kehelllon.
We have already, ii> a few brief intro-
I ductcrv remarks, noticed the most obvious
practical point of significance in that fierce
! denunciatory Address, which was found
Jby 01 te of our scouts'to be circulating
ainong the rfbel soldiers iu Johnson's
army, now scattered over parts of Georgia.
Alabama and Tennessee—tho.se in the lat
ter being probably, for the most part, strag
glers and deserters. Hut that most obvi
ous practical point of significance, (name
ly. the evidence it affords of the perfidy,
selfish ambition, and barbarous tyranny of
the rebel leaders being exposed at length
so unmistakably, that their long misled
followers—the rank and tile of the rebel
armies—representing the common people,
the remnants of what we should have de
scribed as the Southern masses, before the
destroying angels id' war, pestilence and
famine, hail swept their land of its inhab
itants—can no longer be kept from seeing
the wretched impostors, the blood-stained
1 monsters, in the true light of their own
kite sell-revelations.) is by no means ex
haustive of the meaning and import of
this remarkable document.
-As we have already said, this evidence
of the growing disaffection of the rebel
soldiery towards their haughty and impe
rious leaders eneiiurages every brave and
true hearted man iu the North to perse
vere. with renewed hope and energy, in
the work of marshalling anew tho mighty
army of deliverance, which must break
the chains of the grinding tyranny against
which even these long-deluded bondsmen
arc lifting up their voices. Hut it may J
and ought to do more than this—for it siig- 1
ge.-ts and encourages a deeper thought j
and a higher hope, than that of mere mil- j
itary triumph, of a mere victory in the
field, and a speedy suppression of there- j
j bolli'oii.asa consequence thereof. It points, !
i we think, to an accompanying, or coinci- |
| dent, moral triumph and victory of tin- ■
1 measurable proportions and incalculable j
| fui oe —the reactionary clement whose bifid- ;
marks of feudalism, and other false con
structions, can resist; and therefore prom
ises to all who participate in the first, or
material, success over the slave-mongering
conspirator against liberty, a further, and
what must be a final success, because it
will not merely take away the actual Form
. and presence of the AfcrßSF.n tiiino, as
even now has been done in a violent Way
by the inevitable necessity of the war it
. J tell', but also the very possibility of itsrc
. , turn, by destroying tho love ot it in the
j hearts of its votaries, and the ignorance
t in which that love was rooted. — Pittsburgh

J Lawyer's Fees in Neiv I'ork. —
] Seine of our eminent limbs of the law are
j fobbing immense fees now-a-days ; the in
. | comes of the most favored advocates be
i ing almost fabulous in amount. I'wenty-
I five thousand dollars a year used to be
j considered well worth any lawyers while,
1 I and the hope of enjoying c\'en a tithe
: of that sum has made many an hum
ble bar-tender's mouth water. lint iu
i these troublesome and litigious times the
j bigger lawyers look upon twenty-five, thir
i fv, or even forty thousand dollars as no
gn at affair of Ml inline, and retainers ol
, | one. two and three tmftsand dollars drop
j into their hands with as little concern on
i their part as one-tenth the sum was wont
'to pire ten or .a dozen years agone. To
1 prove that political prominence pays, I
may instance tlie ease of a leading Ijcni
' j oeratic lawyer who last year received one
' 1 hundred and twenty-live thousand dollars
| for conducting two suits, and also the case
! of the most notorious of our Radical Ke
j publican attorneys, whose fee, in a certain
celebrated Mining Company's law suit.
I was one hundred thousand dollars worth
' of the Company's stock—which he " re
' I alized on".at sixty-five cents on tho dol
j lar. Just think of sixty-five thousand
' I dollars as » single counsel fee 1 I ought
1 | to add that most of the prominent lawyers
of New Vork are in the enjoyment of tn
' comes ranging from thirty thousand to
' seventy thousand dollars a year. Talk
about the uncertainties of law ! Surely,
• the only doubtful or uncertain tiling about
> it—so far as lawyers are concerned—is
" whether they couldn't get more if they
" had tho cheek to ask it 1 Their motto
would seem to be borrowed from Scott's

lU.m.i, GKNKRALS. —The Richmond
correspondent of t-lie Loudon Tekgraph
writes on the 2'.tth of Decembor, some
curious gossip from the rebel capital. The
writer says that .Tefl'. Davis, having de
fended Bragg as long as he could, was at
last compelled to supercede him after the
defeat at Lookout Mountain. Intheehoice
of n successor, Hardee, who declined. w;is
first thought of. Beauregard was not
thought capable of commanding a large
army, Longstreet was most valuable as a
corps commander, and Joe. Johnson was
n'cxt talked of. The writer affirms that
he is little thought of in Richmond. It
is said there that he does nothing but re
treat and assign plausible reasons for his
failure to achieve success, lie has had
three large armies during the war. and has
had no victory except at Manages. It
was believed in 1862 lh.»t Richmond would
have been taken by McClellan. had John
son remained in command. The feelings
of < lea. Johnson arc understood to be very
hostile to Davis, who, on the other hand,
does not rate highly the capacity of the
General. He wasaverse to-assigningbim
to any important command, after the la
mentable experience of the Mississippi
campaign last summer. On the other hand,
General Lee, and many members of Con
gress, have confidence in Johnston, and in
deference to them Davis hss yielded his
own deliberate judgment in committingto
him the command in Georgia.

tin the first page of our paper, will j

If the Democratic party had had its

Wonder if the lb raid could not furnish

MESSRS. EDITORS.—There is perhaps
no other subject belonging to refined so
j eicty of more importance than politeness; ,
and tew receive less attention. Especially
is it neglected in our towns and villages.
Although those who have been reared in
the city as a general thing, have all nee-
I essary opportunities of cultivating the po
. liteness of character which is .necessary to
the formation of pleasing manners. True
: politeness is seldom found in the city.—
j To a true lover of good breeding few dem
onstrations of politeness are noticed which
attract the attention sooner than the pleas- j
, ant - good morning" of the farmer's boy,
as he is met when wending his way to
pasture-field before breakfast. Although
it docs not always proceed from one who
posseses a knowedge of the courtesy which
oue man owes to another, yet it is a nearer
advance toward true politeness than the
, pedantic, jumped-at, nicety of those who
foolishly claim superiority. A man who
prefesses true politenes must have its prin
j ciples implanted in his heart ; he must
I conscientiously foel that he owes a certain
I degree of respect to his fellow man, re
gardless of his position i»- this world.—
1 Perhaps one of the best evidences of the
! neglect of this important duty, is the de
gree of enmity that is shown toward the
; laboring man at the present time; Ido
not attempt to say that a man in order to
be polite, must be what is commonly term
ed a " working man," but I think there is
a degree of respect due to the laboring
class by those of ail professions, which
but few seem to understand.
1 am pleased to see that you devote a
portion of your columns to subjects of
' this kind A.

MESSRS. EDITORS:—This ha« been a j
most beautiful :ui<i pleasant daj'. The sun '
shune remarkably bright for this time of
year* nml it was indeed a bright day for
■My Maryland. The sun of Liberty |
rose anew in the hearts of this people.— :
! The liill to call a Convention to consider
! the Emancipation question, was passed by j
| both homes of the Legislature by a large ]
| majority—4s to 17 in the House of Del- <
1 egates, and, I understand, only 2 opposing
j its passage in the Senate. 1 was riot able
' to be present to-day to hear the dote of j
the discussion, but last night I heard Mr.
Clark, of the House, deliver a speeeh two
hours long, opjweed to the bi'l. Claiming
;is he did. to represent the strongest slave
holding county in the State, he made as
strong a disunion speech as a man possi
bly could, ocoupying a seat as representa
tive of a loyal State. It WHS the fine ef
, i'ort of a lawyer in a bad cause, before a
jury that have already passed judgement; j
his words fell like the dying words of the
thrice convicted culprit from the scaffold,
pitteous but unheeded. Maryland rejoices
to-night as she has not done since the in
vader that sijught to tie her to the car of
I degeneration, was defeated on the battle
' field of Antietam.. Mr. Clark arraigned
the State of Maryland on the plea of con
sistency. lie implored the spirit of
Washington, who resigned his commission
j in the hall in which he spoke, saying
He was a slaveholder," bat the spirit of
Washington did not eoineto his aid. My
cheek blushed for shame when he men
tioned his name, for he emancipated all
his slaves on his death-bed ; I could see
the noble fortn of the father of our coun- j
try, as he spoke, point to his last will and
I testament and say to Maryland, " 1 Kj thou
likewise."
Ho referred to the clause in the Con
stitutiim of Maryland, passed unanimous
ly. "That the legislature should have no
power to interfere with the relation be
tween master and slave;" but all this.was
'of no avail. This Statute the boastful
i slaveholder has thought uncliangable; but
the World moves on.and he has been
} iauglit that what isnot right must change.
1 Maryland has worn the wooden shoes long
i enough ; at last she bound to throw
i them off. and join in the inarch of prog
| i e<s ; the present generation are deter
mined not to depart without leaving be
hind them, footprints in the sands of time
to elieer posterity..
.Mr. Clark exhorted the people of Mary
land to hold mi to their slaves, they might
I yet be valuable, that the Union would be
reorganized and Southern and National
men would hold the reigns of government.
I Oh ! Air. ('lark, Maryland could not hear
that, she knows that no national organiza
j lion will ever again exist in this country,
in which slavery will rule, or in which
her miserable parasites can prostitute the
j strong arm of the government, to insult
high heaven by bringing back the fugi
tive—these days have passed away, and
should a southern brother soon hold the
i reins of government, tliev w ill be the reins
if freedom ; and the best thing you could
do. Mr. Clark, would be togo to work and
learn to earn the bread you eat. for you
have lived on the sweat of unpaid toil
j Lfng enough.
Mr. Clark appealed to the people of
Maryland to save their laborers, tnat to-
I bacco, com. and wheat never were dearer;
but they say, therefore let us have no
; slaves, lor free labor will produce three
times as much of these staples as slave la
bor, and increase the value of the soil on
I which it grows five-fold. Maryland would
indeed be foolish to listen to your foolish
song, and Air. Clark you would do well to
note that the time is soon coining when to
speak of the high price of tobacco and
wheat in Maryland, will be an item of
news to the producer, as it is now to the
i master.
And now let me toll the good people of
Pennsylvania, what was Mr. Clark's lust
hope and last argument upon this great
question. Ho says if the I'nion is re
stored tin' South will come to your aid in
maintaining slavery, and to top the cli
max. raising himself lip as if to look over
; the Allegheny mountains, he exclaimed
with great hope and earnestness, "The
i Democracy of the North will come to your
aid." Here let me congratulate the
friends of our country who labored so hard
in the North last fall at our State elections,
you did not-expect to see such fruit from
your labor so soon; what weight those
words of .Mr. (Mark would have had in
this hour of trial for Maryland, if the do-,
moeracy had carried the elections last fall,
hut as it waft in this struggle Maryland
saw inscribed on your banners "onward,"
and now she will throw off her chains and
join you in the inarch of human progress
and national greatness.
And my dear Democratic friends of the
North I love you, for I know that many
of you would love to do good ; but I could
not help but blush for you when I sat. here
and heard your very name used to obscure
the rising sun' of liberty in Maryland ;
let me entreat of you as you love God. to
make yourselves no more a stumbling
block to his wise and holy purposes.

AUMY or POTOMAC, .)»». 20. —A reb
el Captain of the Sixth Virginia cavalry,
came into Gen. Gregg's lints a. short time
since, stating his desire to take the oath
of allegiance, and that he had abandoned
the rebel service, because he was con
vinced I bat it was useless to bold out lung
er, and that, in his opinion, further resis
tance to the government of the 1 nited
.States would only result in- destroying
what, is now left i«i the Confederacy and
desolating the entire South. lie says It
is madness and folly to combat Fate, now
that it is certain th<; South must yield obe
dience to'the Constitution and lays of the
government from wVich they attempted to
secede; ami that the conclusion is very
generally arrived «t, though not admitted
bv all, that the'sooner tho soldiers in the
Southern anuy lay down their a'rnij} the
greater is their chance of again being in
the enjoyment of liaeic and happiness.
The numerous desertions from the reb
el army enconr&ge the officers and soldiery
of the Army of the Potonlac to believe
that, the time is not far distant when there
will be a total disruption of the Army of
, Northern Virginia. No officer of intelli
gence in our army supposes that the reb
el army elsewhere ha* been recently rein
forced from Lee's command.
TheN.Y. Tribune says: The best
military minds ill the country are la
boring earnestly to impress npon our
authorities the vital importance of se
curing thorough harmony and active
co-operation between the army of the
Potomac and the armies under the
command of Gen. Grant in the Spring
campaign now opening. Properly con
sidered, the two forces have but one
enemy, and if, with the first
weather of the Spring, tho army of
the Potomac pressing down upon the
enemy from the north, should act in
conjunction with the army of Grant
moving upon Atlanta, and against
the rear of Richmond, our struggle
would have reached its conclusion.
NUOU'JE.-S *IX 'TIIC'II'HIOND. —.The
Richmond Sentinel says: The hi-roof
negroes has fallen a considerable sum
since the Ist of January, and the
agents are somewhat bothered toknow
what tc do with them. People are
getting tired of paying exorbitant
; Prices for servants, and will do with-
I out them altogether before they will
submit to such rates as have been de
manded. The owners should be sat
isfied if they can get persons to clothe
and foed their negroes these times of
scarcity.
TllE "OLD FI.AU''.—A letter from Chat
tanooga. alter speaking of the erection of
» lofty flag-staff on the peak of Lookout
Mountain, from which now floats' the old
flag,says:"l must tell you an effecting lit -
tle scene that I witnessed when we first
crossed Lookout, about the 6th September.
We were marching along at'route step'
with our colors furled and in their black
cases, when we perceived about a dozen of
the fair sex in one of those everlasting
Southern porticos, watching us as we pass
ed. We had got nearly by, When one of
the young ladies stopped out to the front
and said, Boys, we want to see the old
flag.' Oh, such a shout as went up, the
men took step, hats without number Went
into the air, and the hurrah lasted for a
good hour, and the women all cried."
grrT" The Memphis Bull din says that
"as the stoamer Bertha was coming down
the Arkansas liver, on her Inst trip, a man
was observed running toward her. onshore,
pursued by a party of guerrillas. The
fugitive inado signs of distress,aud asked
to be taken Aboard. As the boat was
loaded with soldiers it was deemed safe to
land, so they ran ashore and took the man
ir« The guerrillas rode Tip !ttid fired their
muskets at the craft, but did <io damage.
The man proved to be a conscript they
were trying to take in out of the wet."
fcejy The Washington correspondent of
the New York World affirms that Secreta
ry Seward lias sent a peremptory dispatch
to the French Government concerning th"
construction of rebul ironclads in France;
and has received such a reply that heftiust
oither abandon his position of iffvolve the
Tinted States in a *ar with France. This
same paper a few days ago charged Mr.
Seward with abandoning the Monroe doo
trine, and yielding to the French occupan
cy of Mexico. The pu'blie may take their
choice of these stories.
POSITION OF TIIB ACTING GOVERNOR
OFMISSOUUI. —Lieutenant Governor Ila !,
of Missouri, ifi announcing to the Legis
lature the death of Governor GaJnWf,
says:
" My chief, constant efforts sh all be tft
co-operate with the Federal Govern ment
in its efforts to suppress the existing re
bellion. In doing this I shall not be soli
citous to find fault with tlio President,
Congress or generals in the field. I shall
rather defer mv objections to whatever I
may consider blameworthy to a more pro
pitious period, and trust by a cordial sup
port of the GoterntoeVit of the l'nitcd
States to contrihtfte something t» th* res
toration of peace."
Tin; Hmirr WAY TO READ. —When
the latc*Jeremiah Evarts was in the
sixth year of his age, lie came to his
father and asKed him for a new book.
His father asked him if the last book
he had given liifn was trorn out. "<)h !•
no, sir," said Jeremiah, "hnt I have
read all the sense out of it." He meant)
to say that he had read it thoroughly,
and made himself master of all the
ideas it contained.
i never took up a book for the
sake of passing away time. He ever
took the advice of those who were wi
ser thaij he, and read only good books,
a fid he read "all the sense out o-f
them."
MILITARY BOUNTIES. —Now that the
