SERAPE PROCEEDING!)
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

to wait for the draft. The'old " Keystone"

The New York and Philadelphia
Sanitary Fairs.
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.

Another thing is to be remembered: Phil

support of every object (monocled with the

has maintained several distinctive in,tito

TEN THOUSAND DOLL ARS

"SIXTY THOUSAND CIRO U-

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

.1
Aave'it difficulty in understanding this
paragraph, because certain words, which we
place in italics, are obscure. 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.

, DEATH FROM SWALLOWING A PIN- - The
Juniata &n tine! says a young woman named
Coder, daughter of if tildier of the 4itth Penn
sylvania, died t'rons a singular cause a few
days ago. 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. The
young captain had become a Carmelite, and
assumed the livery of woo in the place of his
gaudy uniform. His final act, so far as
worldly affairs were concerned, was to give
up his sword add the Cross 'of the Legion of
Honor, which ho gained for distinguished
service in the field. As he kissed these loved
relics 9f the life he was about to quit, tind
gave them to his father, the wbolo congre
gation were affected to tears.
An important order has kit, been issued by
Provost Marshal General Fry, announcing
that under the recent call for three hundred'
thousand troops, issued on 'the 19th of last
month, the numbers specified ?nen!, actutilly
be placed' in the field. -.No credits are, there
fore, to be allowed for any recruits under
this call who were in the I.lnited States ser

thorough revisionof the quotas-of the vari

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."

In many of his assumptions his action is

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
