The Goverhor'sinessege was received and road, and that portion of it referring to the quota of Pennsylvania elicited some d'scus ston, and a resolution was offered by Mr. Hell calling for a committee'of three to con sult with the Governor to see if the quota could not be reduced. On motion of Mr. St. Clair, the resolution was amended so. as to authorize the committee to confer with the President and Secretary of War, instead of the Governor. The resolution prevailed, and. the committee, composed of Messrs. Hall, Lowry end 'Wallace, were appointed. The death of Dr. Robert E. Reed, member of the House, was announced by Mr. Hop kins, end a eulogy pronounced upon his character. Mr. Bigham then offered the usual resolutions of condolence, after Which the Senate, adjourned until Tuesday next. Ecar3 On motion of Mr. Glass, the usual resolu tions were offered to the retiring officers, giving them $7. per day, for ten days, and mileage —3O cents per mile. On motion of Mr. Josephs, Zeigler's Manual," and “Purdon's Digest" were voted to each mem ber... The Governor's message wits receiy,ed and read, and on motion of Mr. Slack, 15,- 000 copies were ordered to be printed in English, and 5,030 copies printed in Ger man. A committee was then appointed to try the contested election case of Charles Wilson, from the district composed of_Ly coming, Union and Snyder counties. Ad journed to Tuesday next. The Senate of the United States Las before it a resolution to make free the wives and children of slaves who enlist in the ar my of the United States, while the House of Representatives is about to act on a propo sition to nmend the Constitution of the Uni ted States and put an end to slavery forever. Whether these will pass the respective branches of Congress may not be entirely certain, inasmuch as the old members con tinue to hold their seats and maybe able to defeat both. If they or either of them shall be defeated now, the next session of Congress will assuredly pass them both. . The spiritof old John Brown still lives. A few years ago the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States decided, that a negro had no rights which a white man was bound to respect.— A change has come over the spirit of our dream. May we not thank the r , bets for the Progress they have impelled in the march of Justice and humanity. They are not the first people whose crimes have enlightened mankind. SUBJCOATlON.—Subjugation is nothing more nor less than to conquer by force, and eneo r “.l one pn. ty to outnnit to tho govern ment of another. Subjugation is not anni hilation. It is simply to force traitors to re linquish their treason and to assume their position under the constitution and laws.— In the present position of our country, sub jugation means that the rebels shall submit to the government, to the Republican prin ciples of Liberty incorporated into the fun damental law, to the free election of the ma jority of the citizens, to equal rights, equal tranquility - with other citizens of the United States. These they are unwilling to admit in company with the North. They must have a government of their own. They are ready to run the risk of continual war with a neighboring nation, of forays across the border, of conflicts in relation to trade and commerce; they are willing to suppress in ternal trade at the mouths of their cannon, and dam up the commerce of the northeAl lakes and rivers, with iron clad fleets, but they will perish rather than bo subjugated. They have singular notions of internal re pose and domestic tranquility. TUE LATE STORY OF TUE PRESIDENT.- Mr. Lincoln is credited w;th an apt story to illustrate the present condition of llood's army: Out in lower Illinois, in a little village, there was a butcher named Sykes, who had a large, wicked,'inisehievous bull-dog, which was regarded as a town nuisance. Fowl were killed, clothes were pulled from the lines, meat-houses were robbed, children wore sea ed, and "Sykes' dog'.' was blamed . for all, an blamed justly. Now there was a man r med Henderson, who had a tine to tilled by this dog of Sykes' and he swore revenge. So ho took about a quarter - of a pound of powder and did it up in a piece of buckskin, tying up a piece of punk so that it projected outof the little bundle of pow der. Then he put the bundle in a large piece of corn-bread, and had it in readiness. It was not long before Sykes' dog came trot ting along, and Henderson, lighting the punk with his cigar, threw the bit of bread to•the cur, who gobbled it at a mouthful. Tho next minute' and there was an explo sion ! The dog's head was blown over a fence into the creek, his hind legs and tail wore sent up and lodged on Henderson's porch, his roji legs were throivn across the street, and the rest of tho bow-Wow was laid about in small pieces' "Whorra," exclaimed a looker-on, "you've rather used up Sykes' dog, paint ye, Henderson I" "Yes," replied Hen derson, "I rather think that as a dog Sykes won't And him of much use."

PROPHECY FULFILLED • The accounts of General Sherman's march through Georgia show ati enor mous lose to have befallen-the' people of that State. This sweep taken by stain vading army has destroyedlailwaysicar7, tied away slaves,,, cattle arid provisions, and desolated towns, bringing the heav iest burden of war upon the ver y ' centre of the insurgent district. If Mr. Alexander if Stephens is fond of referring to his own words, he might now very well point his fellow-eilizens to the remarkable lullilment of his prophe-. cies made to them in the winter of 1860- 61, when he was still resisting secession. There could be no stronger ease of cor rect foresight and a just appreciation of the results of a proposed course, than is shown in the following extract from his great speech against secession, made that winter and often quoted : This step (secession) once taken, can never be recalled; and all the baneful consequences that tun:it follow will rest on the convention far all coming time. When we and our posterity shall see our lovely South desolated by the demon of war, which this act of yours will inevit ably invite and call forth; when our green fields of waving harvests shall be trodden down by the murderous soldiery and fiery car of war sweeping over our land, our temples of justiee laid in ashes, all the horrors and desolations of war upon us, who but this convention will be held responsible for it, and who but he that shall give his vote fin• this unwise and ill-timed measure shall be held to strict account flr this suicidal act by the present generation, and probably cursed and execrated by posterity in all emuing time, for the wide and desolating ruin that will inevitably Pillow this act you now propose to perpetuate ? '• Pause, I entreat you, and consider for a moment what reasons yon can give that will even satisfy yourselves in calm- er moments, what reasons you can give to your fellow-sufferers in the calamity ' that it will bring. What reasons can you give to the nations of the earth to justify it ? They will be the calm and deliberate' judges in the case; and to what overt act, can you point, on which to rest the plea of justification ? What right has the North assailed ? What in terest of the South has been invaded What justice has been denied, or what claim, founded in justice and right, has been withheld ? Can any of you to-day name one governmental act of wrong de liberately and purposely dune by the government at Washington, of which the South has a right to complain ? challenge the answer. "Pause now while you can. and con template carefully and candidly these important items. Leavim , out of view, for the present, the countless Millions of dollars you must expend in war with the North, with tens of thousands of your suns and brothers slain in battle, and of fered up as sacrifices upon the altar of your ambition—and for what? Is it for the overthrow of the American govern ment, established by our common ances try, cemented and built up by their sweat and blood, and founded on the broad principles of right, justice, and human ity ? And as such, I must declare here, as.l have often done before, and which has been repeated by the greatest and wisest of statesmen and patriots in this and other lands, that it is the best and freest government, the most equal in its rights, the most just in its decisions, the must lenient in its measures, and the most inspiring in its principles to ele vete the race of man that the sun of heaven ever shone upon. Now, for you to attempt to overthrow such a govern ment as this, unassailed, is the height of madness, fl,dly, and wickedreess." The New Governor of New York. Hon. Reuben E. Fenton, successor to Ho ratio Seymour, says the True Democrat, was inaugurated Governor on Monday, Janua ry 2tl. We All feel deeply interested in the success of the " Empire" State—the centre of commercial oaimkh in our country. For the past two years her people have been trammeled by the unwise, and, in too many cases, unpatriotic action of Gov. Seymour. He has lost no opportunity to misrepresent the policy of the Adminh,triltion, and to ma lign its motives, and to impugn the charne- .er of these who sustained the Government Instead cf a hearty co-operation with the Government in raising men on the various calls, ho invariably sought for some manner in which the number to be furnished might be reduced to the lowest figures, and it is to such maneuverings that only 240.009 men were raised on the last call for 530,00. he " credits" for naval enlistments" w think was originated by him; and when such a plan is suggedted and carried out in one State, it can not reasonably be withheld from any others who, have a shadow of a claim and any talent for carrying the meas ure successfully into operation. Governor Seymour's revolutionary lan guage in his oration at the Academy of Mu sic on the 6th of July, 1863, did more to produce the riots that followed a few days afterward than any other one thing. His speech to the infuriated mob in which he said "My friends, you have stood by me, and I will stand by you," will ever brand his name with an indelible infamy. His re cent attempts to shield the parties implica ted in "manufacturing" soldiers' votes, will not soon be forgotten. He " died hard" in the late contest for Governor, and the cor rupt agencies and wholesale frauds made use of by " friends' came near fastening him for another two years upon the people of tho "Empire" State as their chief magietrate:— lie is succeeded by a man of worth and soli dity rather than brilliancy. Governor Fen ton is a good man, one of those whose mo- ivos aro unselfish and ppio—a man of in egrity and moral worih. As a representa- Live in Congress for the period of ten years, lut•presents an unblemished character, and has won a reputation for honesty such as few public men possess. Ho has bad much experience in public affairs, and possesses the confidence of 'the people of New York to an eminent degree. One of his first actiirwas to issue fiproclaination milting the people; to All up theii quota of men by volunteers, andnot to wait for the draft.

The accounts of the great Sanitary Fair, held at New York last year, Wc now closed, and the final report has been made. The whole iimount of moneys received was $l,- 314, 275 94, end the expenditures $167,769- 81, leaving a net profit of $1,183,506 23 ; of which amount $1,180,091 27 were paid over to the United States Sanitary Commission, and their receipt taken for the Slime ; turd $3,414 96 were retained to close up sonic still unsettled affairs. As there has been consid erable curiosity as to the manner in which the Central Sanitary Fair in this city would compare with that in New York, we are now enabled to present approximate figures. The accounts of our Fair arc not yet closed. Several committees are yet to be heard from. Up to November 26th, 1861, the receipts were $1,154,897 50, and the expenditures $1413.921 92. Net proceeds up to Novem ber 26th, $1,010,975 68. Since that time, and up to December 13th, $9,786 87 addition al were received. This latter sum was, we presume, free from the expenses of the com mittee which paid it over— and how much those expenses were has riot been reported. At all events, the payment increases the known receipts to $1,164, 694 37, and the ascertained net balance up to the period named, was $1,1120,712 80. A few thousand dollars will yet be received, but not sufficient to roach the amount realized by the New York Fair, aid the total will probably he from 'sloo,ooo to $150,000 short of the sum realized by the latter exhibition. Consider ing the population awarded to New York. beyond that of Philadelphia, the rosultssliew that we have done as well as the former cite, according to our ratio. Another thing is to be remembered: Phil adelphia has been giving liberally to the support of every object (monocled with the war ,-inee the beginning of the ~ , ntest, and has maintained several distinctive in,tito tions, such as the Union •nd Cooper Shop Volunteer Refreshment Saloons, the sol diers' llome,Soldiers' Reading Room, the Committee for Recruiting Colored Troops, etc_, all supported by voluntary contribu tion, whilst New York has had nothing of the sort. Philiwielphia has given regularly and systematically to all these in•titution , , and to the Sanitary and Christian Commis sion?, 'Freedmen's Aid Commissdoo , ,, while New York, until it arou•-ed to the ex citement of the Sanitary Fair, had •hole but little for the aq,,i,itan..e of the i t , th, field. :Since that slaw. luoweve; , New York has dime ollwr 2:,1`11,1 , +11 , 01 . 11114*-, auumg which ‘ve may name the 'fliault..gi \one; din ner for the soldier , 4ir Ihn 2‘,,,,y „co, :Ind the Army of !he b u tte of which were liberally supplied. and eredi table to the dunorB and acceptable to the sol diers.

There are two facts to be settled be fore we proceed any further 1. "Circulation over II 1,00 Thi6 has appeared in large type under the head of the Inquirer for yen re. 11. THE CIRCULATION OF THE INQUIRER AVERAGES OVER SIXTY TIIOUSANI) COPIES DAILY, nta:4o Motu; THAN DOUBLE ALL THE SUBSCRIPTION AND THREE-CENT DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY COMBINED," This has appeared under the editorial head or the Inquire• for many months. This is the ease of the Inquire•, and upon the truth of these statements we renew our proposition of Thursday, with one modifica tion. We shall nut ask the Inquirer to ad vance a dollar, but we shail double the a mount of our proposition, and place in the hands of Mr. ii/NNEY, of the Sanitary Com mission, and Mr. STumer, of the Christian Commission, the sum of ten thousand dol lars, to be distributed to both of these insti tutions on these terms : TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS if the Inquirer has over "sixty thousand circula tion." FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS if the Inquirer has over fifty thousand circulation. TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS if the Inquirer has over forty thousand circulation. ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS if the Inquirer has over thirty thousand circula tion. Wo make this offer in good faith, and pro pose that the month of December shall be taken as the test, and Mr. BINNEY, Mr. STUART, and any third party the Inquirer may name, shall take affidavits of clerks and pressmen. We cannot make this offer more conclusive and comprehensive. If the In quirer has not persistently published an un truth for years, let it make good its own as sertions and thus aid two most deserving charities. With this proposition, which we leave open_to the inquirer to accept whenever it pleases, we now propows to close this discus sion. Before doing this, let us congratulate our readers upon having practically actor= plished the object we had in the beginning. On Tuesday morning the first article on this subject appeared in TiE PRE4B. On, Tues day morning, at the head of the Inquirer, was this phrase: "Circulation over 60,000.!' On Wednesday the Inquirer hurriedly haul ed down its "flaunting lie," and now a mean ingless phrase occupies the place. At the same time, it withdrew its long-continued announcement' that "the Circulation of the Inquirer uirerages over Sixty. thousand copies daily, being more than double all the sub scription and three-cent daily papers in the -city combined:" Why is this ? Why . (does the • Inquirer abandon.. this.. long-pubW ed pretension ? On last Tuesday its circulation was "over sixty thousand." For years it has been "oven, sixty thousand." • When did it fall 4- Lot our contemporary frankly confess .that this declaration was withdrawn in obe: thence to Tuft PREssi and in dread of the ve_ry exposard,wd-have—been:Called upon ,to AVe knew that the Inquirer had been deceiving the "PeO .

Such phrases may be familiar to the Inquirer, but our owls associations have never .pvolll3'6ll oppor, tunity of hearing them, and their, meaning is therefore vague. Translated into decent English, however, we presume the Inquirer means to say,that j , while we wish it to ex pose its business , business , we at _ objeet to expose our own. Thia would be a reason able complaint if it had any merit ; but lot us look at it. We do not ask the. Inquirer to expose its business. It has made its own exposure. For years it has told every read er that it lied over "sixty thousand circula tion." THE PRESS has made no such boast. When a customer asks us we show him our books, and he can see for himself. The In quirer may as well understand that when wo print a declaration at the head of this newspaper we mean to sustain it against any challenge, and shall not meanly endeavor to change the issue. The question is not what does THE: PRESS, nor how ninny advertisers has THE PRESS, nor what is the circulation of THE Yarns—fee 111:tlie no pretensions. These questions are answered over the coun ter every day in the ordinary course of busi ness, and if any customer isnot satisfied wilt', our answer he call g 0 et: ewhereand sad him self. The, only question lii this: ILAS TILE iNQUIAER "OYER SIXTY THoUnAND 01.Rou- LATIoN ?" When the Inquirer lIIISWerti this question we shall be willing to answer any now controversy it cares to make. Already it admits it has not. Already it declines a pr , po.sLiil)n which would have given to the Sanitary and Christian GJlllnti:isiurts one thousand dollars, provided it could shot:CM/ twenty thousand circulation. \Vcregret the necessity of this exposure, but we were driven to it by a high sense of ,duty. It was time that this great deception should cease, and it has ceased I It was time that the respectable journals of this city should not be insulted and misrepresented and their business assailed by this newspa per bully ; and we think we have stopped that thing forever. It was time that the honest merchants of Philadelphia should be told that in spending money to find "sixty' tliousuutl" readers .fer. .thei r business,. they must, avoid the inquirer. The Inquirer may well feel satisfied if the matter ends with' TuE PRESS exposure. If a merchant con tracts for "sixty thousand" circulars to be printed and circulated, and not one-half are done, the person SO cq trat'ting could be in dicted for obtaining money under false pre tences and sentenced to imprisonment. \V hat defence could the inquirer make if any ad vertiser for six months should institute crim inal proceedings against the Inquir,r for claiming to print and circulate sixty thou sand copies of his advertisentents ? We are very much afraid, if justice were done, the Inquirer would be at the mercy of the Gov ernor CURTIN whom not many months ago it wantonly and shamefully slandered. For ourselves, we sincerely trust that none (dour friends will find it necessary to take this cour:c. We see evidence of contrition on . the part of the inquirer. It has confessed its sin by ceasing to sin ; and if it only ac• cepts dm good advice of Tut: PrtESs, au 1 frankly and generously given, it may attain that position of respectability and dignitj which it hag so plainly forfeited. thus close our trissetission With the In quirer. That newspuper can re”prii it only whenever it care, lu uceept the pr,,posili,,u hare made. When it makes good its own daily declaration of years it will 110 Lime for to to speak of the other si.hjects it presents. At this time, however, our pug use is not to institute a comparison between the merits of the /moire/. and Tit E PRESS, hilt to tear this swish and .11(siis boats ruttish deception tins been heretoferc hidden. And this, we-think, has Leal most illectusiliV dune.

She had, a pin in her mouth, and falling asleep, awoke to find it lodged some where in her throat. Medicinal aid was summoned, but in vain. She lingered for several days, and expired in the most ex cruciating agony. What adds to the sad- Debi of this unexpected death, is the absence of her father and brother in the army. Wo men and children should be warned against the dangerous habit of currying pins in their mouths. ---A letter from Toulouse, Franco, gives an account of the retirement from the world of an of of the Chassours a'Cli"eval.

No casualties are reported in the Petersburg newspapers. The enemy replied by only an occasional shot, doing no damage. Since that time everything has remained quiet in front of Petersburg. Nothing of interest is transpiring in front of Richmond. Operations on the Dutch Gap Canal are said to have ceased for the present; .seereely shot has been Axed there Mr some days. FROM TENNESSEE.

Hood's Troubles with His Pontoons The Nashville Union of December 31 says: " We have late and important intelligence from the front— intelligence which enables US to show the position of 1 - food's army, and to give the reader some idea of the difficulties he is compelled to encounter, and the prospect of 1116 utter discomfiture. Hood first contem plated crossing at Decatur, and moved on it direct; but Steadman was too speedy for him, and occupied the place before Hood could reach it. Ife-httien turned off toward Florence, where he had pontoons laid ; but Bitty were fur I. w water, and could scarcely be made to reach from shore to s h ore at pres ent; but they might have been made uset:ul, but l'itr the approach of the gunboats, which compelled the itebel garrison, which had been left to defend them, to take them up, and move them to 13.tinbridg-c. "The garrison thus left consisted of about fifteen hundred Men, and they crossed the river before taking tip the bridge; and this gave rise to the story that Iloud's army had escaped. "The removal of the pontoons obviated one difficulty, removing them beyond the reach of our ,gunboats; but it gave rise to two others, (tidier which is insuperable. The river is so wide at Bainbridge that this bridge will not reach from shore to shore by one hundred yards at,thfs stage et the river, and even if it were lone- enough, the current i s s o rapid that it coulenot be put down. " Unless the river fall; suddenly, Hood cannel hope to escape, and we hardly look for much of a fall now that it is raining." Gen.

The following extracts from several of the leading English journals, show how the high favor in which Mr. W. was held among the British critics: In many of his assumptions his action is equal to the I est tragedians on the stage. He is recommended also by Dickens. In him, h[r. Whitney has the felicity of a critic, without maleyoh•nce, who thinks it as much his duty to display beauties as expostrfrinits; who censures with respect and praises with alacrity. The regard of Dickens recommend ed him to the great and powerful, where he read in Reuben's Rooms, Windsor Castle. before the Court and Nubility. He is in the full bloom of reputation, and is personally known to almost all who m dignity of em ployment and splendor . of reputation make eminent.—London Morning Herald. Among other beautifying graces of his el ocutionary intonation, we were particularly thrilled with the long drawiktima of his em phases, which emulate and equal the pencil of Reuben and tongue of Siddons.—London Mu.siral WOrld.
