THE CIVIL OP. AIISCELLANEOUS Appro
priation, Bill, it seems, did not pass. The
Muse insisted on its amendment prohibit
ing the trial of civilians by - Coat Martial,
which the 'Senate refused to adopt, and on
that point the bill fell. It is rare that ap
propriation bills fail ; but this one was com
paratively unimportant, and we suppose, for
that reason, less interest was felt in it. Its
principal appropriations were for lighthouses,
coast survey, and other objects of that char
acter. The appropriation to refund to Penn
sylvania the amount paid by her to the
militia called out in 1863, was included in
this bill, and Is therefore lost.
TIM. A Correspondent, on his way to Wil
mington, writes: "An incident, illustra
ting the peculiarity of our struggle, occurred
on our march yesterday. Passing a house
by the' road-side, a corporal of one of the
regiments asked permission to enter it, al
leging as the reason for his request that it
was the residence of his parents and the home
of his youth. His request was granted. He
entered the house, and was soon clasped in
the arms of his overjoyed mother. 'John,'
said she, 'your brother was here yesterday ;
be stopped as as the Confederates marched
past here.' That mother has a son in each
army."
rURTURBATION IN RICIIMOND.—The tone
of the Richmond papers indicates very clear
ly the amount of excitement thaCcity is la
boring under' at the present time, which is
the best augury that Sherman is making fa
vorable progress in his campaign. The
Richmond Enquirer, trying to quiet the ap
prehensions of the people, says : "Measures
of precaution do not indicate doubt of suc
cess. To take off one's clothes before going
into the water does not prove that one ex
pects to be drowned. Every encumbrance
must be sent to the rear before the battle,
however secure the victory may - be. The
real danger is always less than imagination
represents it to be. Look steadily at a ghost
and it will vanish. , ' The ghosts that the
rebels have raised are Grant and Sherman's
armies. They have been looking steadily
at these armies for months, but instead of
vanishing into thin air, they grow greater
in size, and become more substantial evi
dences of the power and determination of
the Government. Grant is a spectre that no
power of the rebels can exorcise, and when
they sae such a substantial ghost at both the
front and back door of Richmond, it is no
wonder that they should be frightened into
a disposition to run away' Their imagina
tion is not entirely at fault in this matter ; a
guilty conscience probably suggests the real
ity of the danger.
Dr. McClintock
A Washington despatch states that a short
time ago Mr. Lincoln, in recognition of the
important services rendered the cause of the
Union by Rev. Dr. McClintbek, while he wits
pastor of the American chapel at Paris, ten
dered the post of minister to France, made
vacant by the death of lion. Wm. L. Day
ton. The Doctor, who is now the pastor of
St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church in
Fourth avenue, New York, promptly declin
ed the honor, assigning failing health; which
had already prompted his resignation of the
pastorate of his present charge, tt§ a reason.

How GENERALS GROOk AND KELL ET
WERE CAPTURED.—The Ilichmond papers
announce the arrival in that city of Major
Ll,morals Crook and Kelley, recently captured
at Cumberland, and their incarceration in
Libby Prison. The feat of their capture was
performed by a Lieutenant McNeil and thir
ty men, who crossed the Potomac in front of
the town at a very late hour of the night,
and after capturing the only sentinel they
met, and obtaining from him the countersign,
went boldly into the town itself, making good
use of their knowledge. Most of the party
wore concealed outside, while small squads
wont to the hotels at which our generals wore
stopping. McNeil himself commanded the
party who went for Crook. Ascertaining
the room in which he slept from an old col
ored woman who appeared to act as night
clerk, he journeyed up the stairs, light in
hand, and knocked for admission. A Rich
mond paper, describing subsequent events,
goes on to say. that, after several ineffectual
responses from within, entrance was obtain
ed, and the visitors were ordered to enter.
"Is this General Crook?" asked the Lieu
tenant, holding the light so as to give him
full view of the General, as ho drowsily look
ed at them from his bed.
"Yee; what do you want?" was the reply.
"I," said the Lieutenant, "am General
Rosser," and drawing a pistol and present
ing it, added: "I have some very important
business with you, General Crook, and will
give you precisely two minutes to get up and
put on your clothes."
The bewildered General did nut know how
to reply, and did not dare to resist. He saw
at a glance that it would be as useless as dan
gerous to attempt escape by raising an alarm,
so ho did not stop to solve the mystery of so
unexpected a call. He obeyed at once, and
a gentle suggestion of the propriety of reep
ing quiet being whispered in his ear, he pass
ed out with his escort as mute as a mummy.
On their egress, the party persuaded the sen
tinel on duty to follow them, by inducements
similar to those submitted to the General,
and making their prisoner mount behind
them, rode back to the main body.
In the meantime a second detachment rode
up to the quarters. of General Kelley, when
wsimilar scene occurred, and that officer was,
in due time, under guard, as well as the ad
jutant generaLof General Crook.
By some means the affair was discovered
soon after they loft, and a whole regiment

pea being presented to General Early at
It s Headquarters in the Valley, the prisoners
, were teemed with the homely but no doubt
aeceptalfie greeting: "Take seats, gentlemen;
A presumes you are tired after your ride ;"
- anti - then added the hero'of brilliant victories
„girketunning defeats, with an intensification
- of, that fine-tooth comb peculiarity of his
enunciation, - "I expect some enterprising
' Yankee will be stealing off with me in the
same way some of these days.!,-! Whether
'the 'prise - tiers 'relished tlid - joke or not, our
:informant failed to depose.- They wore doubt ,

will be kept until our !gallant men arrested
bythemas "guerillas," and confined in chains
and dungeons on that pretence, arc released."
"SELF-GOVERNMENT."
Although the English journalists no long
er argue that our northern cause is altogeth
er hopeless, yet they 'continue their misrep
resentation as to the nature of the contest.
They still allege that the southern rebels are
in arms to procure the right of "self-govern
ment," and that the north withholds froin
thorn this right. It would be difficult to
state a grosser error. In an eminent degree
thesouthern slaveholdv possessed that right,
and something more besides—not only did
they represent themselves in our national
councils, but, in addition, three-fifths of all
those slaves whom they held 1113 beasts of
burden, and denied all personal rights—only
for the latter purpose wore the -bendinen
classed as human beings`-z-only to give pre
ponderance to their masters at Washington.
The anomalous privilege bespeaks our great
solicitude to please the man-enslavers—that
such a great concession, and many others
piled on top of it, failed to satisfy those in
satiate exactors, only shows their folly or
their madness.
The rebels wanted much more than even
this; for when they broke into rebellion the
act was counter to the wishes of their own
people. The majority of legal voters was
clearly against the contemplated change, and
so the wicked lenders overleaped the evident
impediment, and proceeded, in despite of
popular majorities, to consummate their
fatal purpose. By sheer brutality and open
violence they terrorized and coerced their
own people, rind practically nullified self
government. They lied three modes of pro
cedure for domestic dissensions— the bullet,
the rope and the dungeon. By such means
did rebellion obtain headway ; by such
means has it retained its sway through four
years of blood and misery throughout the re
gion where its armies could keep their foot
hold. It is but an aggravation of their guilt
to palaver about "self-government." Un
der the legal government the southern peo
ple had it to the utniost extent that was pos
sible; under their rebel tyrants not a vestige
of the privilege remains.
And as the substance has departed, so
would their masters.have displaced even the
semblance of liberty, had their nefarious
schemes succeeded. Only a year or two ago,
when the Richmond junta. imagined their
success was probable, we all remember those
candid revelations touching restrictions on
the right of sufl'inge, so necessary to the se
curity of slavery. Who can doubt that such
intentions would have been carried out if the
conspirators could have obtained a separate
government? Such a change would have
been as sure as the reeponing of the slave
trade, a kindred object, designed to add mil
lions more to the sable host in servitude—
men who nut only were deprived of all self
government, but even of self-ownership.
The right of self-government which we all
possess under the general go . i•erninent is a
reasonable and salutary one. Itconsists with
equality, equity, safety, prosperity and hap
piness. The substitute which our rebels de
mand is merely the right of perpetual revo
lution, destructiveof national repose, fraught
with infinite disorder and misery, sure to
terminate in anarchy and despotism. It
signifies the right of any State or combina
tion of States to break up the Union at pleas
ure, and form as many separate governments
in there are States. So absurd and mis
chievous a doctrine might easily run into the
further excess, that the county or municipal.
parts of a State were equally endowed with
rights of separation, involving universal dis
integration and the extinction of human
society. itself. Each little fragment, as it
fought against the lawful government, might
protest in favor of self-government with just
-as 4iitich-proprietyand sanity_as_do..the south,
ern rebels and their outside friends. The
liberty they claim is irrational and inadmis
sible ; it is a rigmarole of jingling phraseol
ogy, inconsistent and impracticable in civil
ized society, since it is simply the liberty of
destroying liberty.
There exists, indeed, in every large com
munity the abstract right of revolution, but
its exercise is fraught with awful peril. Only
in the extremest cases would wise and
patri
otic men resort to it—only when peaceful
means had failed to bring redress for griev
ances should violence and bloodshed be
evoked. How for from having justifying
reasons for revolutionary war were oursouth
ern malcontents every candid looker-on may
judge. Never, in any age. or country, was
there it revolt so inexcusable. Those very
Britons who still affirm that our insurgents
seek '•self-goverment,'' . would frown with
unspeakable indignation if Ireland of Scot
land weir) to rebel on pretexts tenfold strong
than any that our slaveholders can bring.
Yet we see the latest English paper, still
harping on that old theme of ••self-govern
ment," though the Writers must know, as
well as we, that our government cheerfully
concedes it as an indisputable right. Only
to prevent the excess or abuse of this right—
only to prevent the virtual abrogation of
that and all other rights—have they checked
the attempted revolution. It was an im
perative duty, enforced by a hundred weighty
reasons, and one that could not be set aside
by men who had sworn to uphold the Con
stitution. Posterity will have reason to re
joice at their stern decision, including even
the deseendantsof those carping Britons who
now excuse the rebels while censuring our
lenient government.
RICHMOND
Parties who have recently arrived within
our 119 es on the James from the rebel capital,
Richmond, represent the people there as in a
very feverish state of excitement. On the
street, in the hotels, at the theatre and in ev
ery public place, there is but one topic of
conversation—" the Yankees," and chief
among the Yankees, Sherman. his march
northward is the great absorbing theme, and
the occasion of universal trepidation. The
inhabitants, generally appear to consider the
capture of the city now a foregoing conclu
sion, notwithstanding all the confidence in
spired by its four years of stubborn defiance
of all our efforts against it. It requires no
educated strategist to appreciate the elements
of the present military situation--Iris felt
by all that affairs are now in a very diflbrent
position from what they have been in any of
our former efforts against the g,reat strong
hold of Rebeldom; and it is plainly seen that
its long and successful resistance of all ad
vances hitherto made against it, furnishes no
argument for a continuance of the same good
fortune under the present altered circumstan
ces. "You can never get to Richmond ; it's
too strong for you." - Or, -tauntingly, All
right, goon, go on, but you ain't at Richmond
. yet ;" or, " Why don't you all make haste
and take Richmond?" These used to be the
kind of remarks whereby the Virginian,-
man, woman or child—would intimate to
you.his unbounded confidence in the defen
sive works of the Rebel Capital. And this
confidenCe has known no abatenient until
very recently. It was found all along our
line of advance from the Rapidan, and has
be6n equally expressed by the people within
our present lines. They have Just waked up

THE - LATE CONGRESS
A rather slow evangelist once preached to
'a Slim Western audiencd.a sermon which, if
it had not dealt with the most momentous
possible theme, might have been.pronetnieed
dull. At tbii . elose t he sent around his hat,
hoping to secure thereby seine aliment for
his carnal nature in requital for the spiritual
manna ho had been dispensing, but was dis
appointed by its return to him absolutely
empty. Lopking intently into the "aching
void," he turned it upside down, shook it
vigorously, and finding the result to be still
nothing, he exclaimed, "Thank God that I
have got my but back from this congrega
tion I"
We are reminded of this anecdote by the
fact that the end.of the late Congress was
better than some portion of its previous
career had given reason to expect. We be
lieve not one of the various Patent Exten
sions, so desperately pushed and at onetime
so likely to succeed, was carried through. At
all events, those of most consequence were
not. The twenty per cent. extra to the
builders of Iron-Clads went under. The
various projects of salary-raising were ail
defeated ; only the twenty per cent. extra
voted by the House to its employes prevail
ed, and that by the most determined , and
reckless pertinacity on the part of its sup
porters. All attempts—and they were
strongly backed—to increase the compensa
tion of Members failed ; though we presume
the petty gouge of exempting their salaries
and mileage from the Income Tax was suc
cessful. The monstrous story that a bill had
passed increasing the subvention to the
Pacific Railroad and branches to One Hun
dred Millions of Dollars was, we are happy
to hear, a mistake of the Associated Press re
port. Nothing like this was done. What
did pass, we - believe, was a bill allowing the
Union Pacific and each of its branches to
complete one hundred miles of road and re
ceive the whole of the stipulated advance
thereon in anticipation of the completion of.
the eutire work—a very different matter:
On the whole, the Session wound up much
better than could have been expected a few
weeks ago.
What is called the "Miscellaneous" ap
propriation bill failed—which we mourn not
as those without -hope. It contained many.
proper and necessary with some questiona
ble provisions. We trust it stops the Coast
Survey and sends those engaged in it to aid
in the regular operations of the Navy. his
a shame that the Lighthouse Service for the
ensuing fiscal year should have been left to
take its chance ili this bill; but that was pro
bably calculated to helpother items through.
if necessary, we presume the Navy Depart
ment can keep the Lights burning in the in
terest of our National Defenses ; if not, some
other way will be found. We protest a
gainst an Extra Session, and are confident
that the genius that discovered a way to pay
the Illinois Cellti al for transportation. in
defiance of a resolve of Congress, Cllll keep
the coast duly lighted in the absence, of an
appropriation for that precise end.
As to the quarrel about Arbitrary Ar
rests," which caused the failure of the bill
aforesaid, we cannot help thinking that Mr.
Winter Davis and the House inaj , lrity went
too far. Wo agree with them in insisting
that these Arrests should be restricted and
regulated ;,we cannot consent that none other
then persons regularly mustered into the
service shall be held to answer before Mili
tary Tribunals. Here is the grand army of
'bounty-brokers, of swindling contractors,
and of those who aid soldiers to desert by
furnishing them with disguises ;- we hold
that these have rendered themselves fairly
amenable to Military law; and we cannot
consent that they should be remitted to the
jurisdiction of civil magistrates exclusively.
We fear this would be giving impunity to
practices which strike at the life of the Na
tion.
We have said that the Appropriations
were less prodigal than we had feared they
would be ; we must add that they were still
larger than they should have been. The
twenty per cent. extra to the liaise employes
might have passed as simply reeldvss in or
dinary times ; now, it seems to as graver an d
worse than that. Our country is still in se
pious peril ; and her most immimmt danger
is that of financial collapse. In such a crisis,
prodigality borders closely on treason, and
the most rigorous economy is an obvious dic
tate of patriotism. To embark in the con
struction of canals, &e., which cannot pro
bably come into use till after the end of the
war, create new offices or increase salaries
where the public service could have been
carried on without them, &c., is to place new
burdens on the overloaded camel's back,
tempting Providence and inviting disaster.
Such acts at such a time cannot be repro
hendiatlltOo strongly.
Usually, the House checks the tendency to
extravagance rampant in the Senate ; now,
the Senate checks the prodigality of the
House. This results mainly from the fact
that John Sherman heads the Finance Com
mittee of the Senate, while Thaddeus Stevens
leads the House. Mr. Stevens is an earnest
patriot; but, believing that the Government
can manufacture money to any desired ex
tent, he cannot be expected to regard Finan
cial peril as either grave or imminent.
We rejoice that the House, by a decided
vote, has ordered a division of the duties
hitherto assigned to its most important
Committee ; the scrutiny of Appropriations
being henceforth separated from the provi
sion of Ways and Means. This reform, long
desirable, has become indispensable. its
suggestion was one of the last legislative
acts of Mx. S. S. Cox, and we thank him for
it. The doings of the next House will de
monstrate its inestiMablo' value. So says
the N. Y. Tribune.
THE EXCIIANOE OF PRISONFAS.—Under
the judicious management of Col. Mulford,
the exchange of prisoners goes on bravely.
The New York Times of Tuesday publishes
a list of the names of tho 500 officers who
wore received within our lines below City
Point on the 21st and 22d inst., and since
then, forwarded to Annapolis. With this
last installment, the Richmond military pris
ons have all't—thank Heaven ! —boon emptied
of their loyal, inmates. Col. Mulford has
also perfected his arrangements for the do
livery of those who have been in prison- at
Columbia, Salisbury, and part of those at
Florence. The place named for this exchange
is Wilmington. The Georgia and Alabama
prisoners aro to bo delivered at Mobile ; those
west of the Mississippi at the mouth of Red
River. '
Col. Mulford, mgreover, has not
limited his exertions to the matter of an ex
change of purely military prisoners. Ho
has included in his arrangements the release
of loyal masters and crews of vessels, and of
not a few private citizens as well. The point
at which Col. Mulford has established his
office on the Jamcs,River (Varina) places him
in easy communication with the Lieutenant-
General, and the public need not be specially
advised of the fact that Gen. Grant extends
'the utmost faCilitics necessary to make the
exchange as perfect and as speedy as the cir
cumstances will.ailmit. ,

REBEL DESERTIONS.
In a proclamatian to the North Carolin
ians. Governor Vance says that "thousands
upon thousands of the army; absent without
leave, are lurking•in the woods and swamps
of the South." So much fOr direct evidence
that the rebel army is demoralized. Tho in
direct proof is furnished in articles from - the
Richmond Sentinel and the Enquirer. The
former belabors Governor Brown severely,
and says:
"It is such utterances as his that make
deserters from our army. We are informed
that in those regiments_ or commands from
which desertions are most common, no read
iny is generally desired, except such as deals
in rabid censures of the Government, and in
gloomy predictions of certain and hopeless
failure and defeat, in consequence of: -what
is alleged to be unutterable and invariable
official folly and stupidity on every possible
question. Men read these demoralising
diatribes and brood over them until they be
come reckless and despairing, and when night
comes, and they are sot on outpost duty, they
do what these faultfinders logically bid them
to do—the'y desert. Why should they not,
if they believe the half that is told them ?
How many deserters Gov. Brown's message
will make &pots on the number of copieiof
it which may . find their way to our trenches."
The Enquirer says:
"He must be presumed to understand and
intend and desire the results that must cer
tainly follow his recommendations if adopt
ed. That Gov. Brown is endeavoring to dis
band the armies of the Confederacy, that he
is actively engaged in prostituting the high
position he holds to the service of the public
enemy, and seeking, with all the powers of
his office to discourage and dispirit the peo
ple of these States, is too apparent to require
explanation. His course is not different from
traitors who have betrayed their country."
JIBS" The chiefs of the various bureaus of
the Treasury Department proceeded to the
room of Secretary Fessenden, when Judge
Natham Sargeant, the Commissioner of Cus
toms, 111 his OWE and their behalf, delivered
a brief address, expressive of their respect
for him on the eve of his retiring from the
Treasury Department, and expressing their
cordial wishes for his health and happiness.
Secretary Fessenden replied:
GEN TL EM EN : I am exceedingly thankful
to you for this call and for the kind expres
sions of regard 1 have received from you
through the Commissioners of Customs. I
I can only say to you, what you probably
all know, thati_ came hem most.unwilling s

gret in having the Department, and thl!tt
arises from the necessity of parting with so
many gentlemen with whom my intercourse
has been so exceedingly agreeable and for
whom I have a very friendly regard. I
came here because I conceived it to be my
duty, under the circumstances, but encour
aged and sustained by the assurance of sup
port from gentlemen connected with the of
fice. 1 have received that support from all
of you without a single exception, so far as I
ant aware. I found every gentleman here
disposed to aid me. 1 can say to you, gen
tlemen, with entire frankness, that I believe
my having been here will prove of great
benefit to myself, from the information and
experience 1 have acquired, and I trust it
has not been disad van tageOUS to others or to
the Department. I think it would he better
fur the Government and the country if Con
gress, and the gentlemen connected with the
Executive branch of the Government,, bet
ter understood each other. I shall go back
to the Senate with ninny opinions corrected
and improved With regard to the conduct of
the departments, especially that which I
h ave b e en connected with. I think I shall
be disposed to render justice to the gentle
men who, placed in situations like yours, la
bor in season and out of season for the pub
lic good, for what I conceive to be, in these
times, a very inadequate remuneration for
their services. I have no doubt the same is
true with regard to all the other departments
of the Gove: nment. With regard to any
daily intercourse with you, gentlemen, 1 can
only say that, in my opinion, however we
may be placed relatively in the Departmer4.
or elsewhere, no man in the country is above
the rank of a gentleman, and every inau.whc
hot orably and conscientiously performs bis
duty is entitled to be treated as such.
Acting upon this belief, 1 have regarded
the humblest clerk in this office, so long us
he discharged his duty honestly and faith
fully, as my equal, Ils entitled nut only to
my protection but to equal rights with my
self.
Gentlemen zu not come here to make
or hoar zzpooolies,..nd I will only add that I
cordially receive your kind wishes. At my
age, new friends are not eazzily nude, but I
shall indulge the hope that in having the

MOVEMENT OF REBELS IN CANADA.-
Within a week past there has been a gener
al clearing out of the rebel coterie ,which,
since last summer, has hoveted aboutiklio:
frontier in our vicinity. A meeting of some
thirty or forty, including Mr. Jacob Thomp
son, and some other celebrities, was held at
Drummondville, C. W., last week, and a
communication from Jeff. Davis was then
read and acted upon. The report is that the
Richmohd Government announced to the
Canadian emissaries. its intention to speedily
abandon Richmond and make its headquar
ters somewhere in Southern Kentucky or
East Tennessee, where the last grand rally
of the military power of the Confederacy is
to take place. In accordance with this pro
gramme the exiles were instructed to make
their way back to the neighborhood of the
"last ditch" without delay. However this
story may tally with the fact, is certain that
on Saturday last the emissaries had departed

As the President and others reached the
platform the band played "Hail to the Chief,"
and salutes were fired. •The President was
cheered by the immense throng, composed of
civilians and military, and after the delivery
of his. address was again and again cheered
and saluted by cannon and music.
INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
WAsinNaTON, March 4
FELLOW COUNTRYMEN:—At this second
appearing to take the oath of the Presidential
office there is less occasion for an extended
address than there was at the first. Then a
statement somewhat in detail of a course to
be pursued seemed fitting and proper; now,
at.tke expiration of four years, during which
public declarations have been constantly call
ed forth on every point and phase of the great
contest which still absorbs the attention of
the nation, little that is new could be present
ed.
The progress of our arms, upon which all
else chiefly depeltds, is as well known to the
public as myself, and it is, I trust, reasonably
satisfactory and encouraging to all. With
high hope for the future, no prediction in
regard to it is ventured.
On the occasion corresponding to this four
years ago, all thoughts were anxiously di
rected to an impending civil war. All
dreaded it—ill sought to avoid it. While
the Inaugural Address was being delivered
from this place, devoted altogether to saving
the Union without war, insurgent agents
were in the city seeking to destiny it, and
others without were seeking to dissolve the
Union and divide the effects by negotiation.
Both "parties defireeated WM., but one of
them would make war rather than let the
nation survive, and the other would accept
war rather than let it perish; and the war
came.
One-eighth of the whole population wore
colored slaves, not distributed generally over
the Union, but localized in the southern part
of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar
and powerful interest. All knew flint this
interest was somehow the cause of the war.
To strengthen, perpetuate ,and extend this
interest wit, the object for which the insur
gent; would rend the Union, even by war,
while the Government claimed no right to
do More than to restrict the territorial en
largement of it.
Neither party expected for the war the
magnitude or duration which it has already
attained. Neither an tie' pated that the cause
of the conflict might cetKe with or even be
fore the conflict itself Slit/Uhl eett,(t.
Each loi)ked for an easier triumph,
result luinlainental and astounding. Roth
read the Sumo bible and pray to the rotniu
God, and each invoke, his aid against the
other.
It may seem strange that any men should
dare to ask a just God's a,.-i•tance in x% ring
ing their bread from the :Nyeat of other men's
faces. But let us judge cn that, we be not
judged. The prayers of both could not be
nusweied; that ot neither has been answer
ed frilly.
The Almighty has hi, - own purpose, "Woe
unto the world bocansu ul offences ; for it
must needs be that offences come: but woe
to that man by whom the offence cometh."
If we shall suppose that American slavery
is one of those offences which, in the provi
dence of God, must needs come, but which,
having contiyued through Ms appointed
time, lie new wills to r,•rnove, 111111 that he
gives to both North and South this terrible
was• us tle woe due to those by whom the of
fence came, shall we discern therein any de
parture from those divine attributes which
the believers in a living God ascribe to him ?
Fondly du we hope, fervently do we pray
that this mighty scourge of war may speedl
ly I/11 , S aNra ; yet it God v. ills that it con
tinue until all the wealth piled up by the
bondinen in two hundred and fifty years of
unrequited toil shall be sunk, and untilevery
drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be
paid by another drawn with the sword, as
was said three thousand years ago, so still it
must be said: judgments of the Lord
are iighteous altogether." With Malice to,
ward none, with dimity for all, with firm
ness in the right, as God gives us to see the
right, let us strive onto finish the work we
are engaged in—to bind up the nation's
wounds— to cure for him who shall have
borne the battle, and for his widow and his
orphans—to du all which may achieve and
cherish a just and lasting peace among- our
selves and with all nations.
The Presidential Inauguration
WASHINGTON, March 4.—President Lin
cola was inaugurated at 12 o'clock, noon to
day. The weather was clear and beautiful,
but on account of the recent rains the streets
were tilled with mud. Despite this fact the
crowd that assembled was exceedingly large,
and thousands proceeded to the capitol to
witness the inauguration ceremonies. The
procession marched from 16th street and
Pennsylvania Avenue at 11 o'clock. Presi
dent Lincoln had been at the capitol all day,
and consequently did not accompany the pro
cession to the scene of the ceremonies. Two
regiments of the Invalid corps, a squadron
of cavalry, a battery of artillery, and four
companies of . colored troops formed the mil
itary escort. The Mayor and Councilmen
of Washington, Councilmen from Balti
more, the firemen of this city, and firemen
of Philadelphia—the Good Will. Franklin
and Perseverance companies—were also in
the procession. Among the benevolent so
cieities present were lodges of Oda Fellows'
and Masons, including a colored lodge of the
latter fraternity. The public and principal
private buildings on Pennsylvania Avenue
were gaily decorated with flags, and every
window was thronged with faces to ditch
glimpse of the President.
The procession reached the Capitol at a
bout 11:45 A. at., escorting the President
elect l . At a subsequent period, the Presi
dent, Vice President together with the Jus
tices of the Supreme Court, Members and
ex-Members of Congress, Foreign Ministers
and other persons of distinction, assembled
in the Senate Chamber. There the Vice
President elect took the oath of office, pre
ceding it by an address.
Chief Justice Chase administered to Mr.
Lincoln the oath to protect and maintain
the Constitution of the United States, in the
presence of thousands who witnessed tho in
t Testing ceremony, while standing in mud,
almost knee deep ; the inaugural was read,
after which a national salute was fired. The
procession then again moved up Pennsylva- 1
nia avenue, the President being conveyed in
baroucho, seated with his son and Secretary
Pessenden of the Committee of Arrange
ments. The President was escorted to the
White House, after which the procesSion
separated. Everything passed of in the most
quiet and orderly manner, and although
thousands participated in the ceremonies not
an accident occurred to mar the pleasure of
the day.
WAsnutoroiit, March s.—The floor of the
Senate Chamber was crowded to-day by
Senators, members elect, tend ox-members of
Congress, Justices of the Suprorine Couit
Army and Naval officers, foreign ministers
iri`full dress, Governors of States and Terri
tories, all the members of the Cabinet, :and
other distinguished personages. Tho Presi
dent entered the Senate Chamber after the
Vice President had delivered his address,
and while the retiring Vice President
was administering to him the oath to sup
port-and defend the Constitution, and also
the oath of allegiance, the galleries were
densely filled. • Thousands of strangers came
hither to-dayLio - witness the, -ceremonies.
To,nightthe_Executivemansion-was-thrown :

immense.
What Gen. Thomas is About
'rho troops sent from Eastport, Miss., on
steamers brGen. Thomas, were the sixteenth
Corps; find, were destined, in conj unction with
the forces of Gen. Canby, to operate against
Mobile. They left at Eastport from 25,000
to 80,000 cavalry and mounted infantry. But
the number of men pouring into Tennessee
daily from the Northwest is such as to leave
no doubt that Gen. Thomas will have ample
forces in Kentucky and Tennessee after all
his various detachments have left on their
Alabama and Mississippi campaign. So nu
merous are these reinforcements that on some
days as many as five thousand were passed
through Nashville by railroad on their way
to the front.
Under such circumstances there need be
,no fear-that Thomas will be in want of any
men to defend Tennessee while carrying on
his vast operations in Alabama and Missis
sippi; and if Longstreet should resume his
unfortunate campaign against Knoxville, be
will be very apt to find himself entirely over
matched. If it be true that fifteen thousand
of Hood's Into army have been sent into the
Carolinas to reinforce Beauregard against
Sherman, there cannot be more than ten
thousand men of that army left, and all the
conscripts and reinforcements likely to be
gathered up cannot increase that army to
twenty thousand. Instead, therefore, of
Thomas fearing either Taylor or Longstreet,
it is more probable that when Sherman shall,
in his triumphant march, have reached
Burksville, Va., Thomas will have a corps
marching along the line of the Virginia and
Tennessee railroad to cooperate with him by
the way of Lynchburg.—Phila, N. Amer.
Arming Slaves for Slavery
We heard a distinguished Major General
of the army of the Union, one who has spent
much time in the South during the war and
had thousands of opportunities, as he assur
ed us, of learning the thoughts and feelings
of the negroes even in the remotest and most
unenlightened portions of that section, say
'that there was nothing he so anxiously desir
ed as southern enlistments of negroes. Lie
declared that no earthly truth could be clearer
to his mind that that such enlistments would
strike the rebellion dead. He stated that he
never saw a negro in the South and never
heard of one, whose sympathies and anxious
desires were not on the side of the Federal
cause, and he related many instances illus
trative of their feelings. 'He said that there
has never been an instance where a Federal
fugitive in the South was betrayed by a ne
gro, never an instance where such a fugitive
failed to receive negro aid and succor. "You
have seen," said he, "my colored brigades
to-day; now suppose that Southern colored
brigades were arrayed against them—do you
think it possible that there would be any
fighting? - No, sir, no I" We guess that his
opinion was correct, find that the first expe
rience will verify R.—Louisville Journal.
Speech of the Emperor Napoleon.
The French Chambers were opened on the
15th by a speech from the Emperor. The
speech is mainly occupied by domestic af
fairs and is quite silent on the American
question. It refers to the settlement of the
Danish question, and French neutrality
therein and expatations on the Italian con
vention, and the benefits to be derived by
Daly as well as. the 110ly See. It permits
France to withdraw her troops front Rome.
As regards Mexico, the speech briefly says,
the new throne is becoming oonsolidated, the
country is becoming pacified, and its im
menso resources arc being developed, the
happy etleet of the valor of our soldiers, the
good sense of the Mexican population, and
the intelligence - and energy of the sovereign.
The Emperor rejoices at the French triumps
in Japan, Africa, &c., and then proceeds to
enlarge upon measures of domestic legisla
tion, proclaiming his ardent desire to culti
vate the arts of peace, to cultivate friend
ship with the,,difh.rent powers, and to only
allow the voice of France to be heard for
right and justice.
Blockade Runner Captured—Rebel

Too Much SaCk for his Broad
The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel says
that while General Bragg was in that city a
little incident occurred, which shows that
General B. is not the " dry old stick" he has
the credit of being.
President Davis had telegraphed to Gen
eral Bragg, in the usual way. to hold the
State at all hazards—stop up the roads, de
stroy supplies, and crush Sherman. At the
close of the dispatch, the strange phenomena
of an idea seemed to strike hint ' and he
asked : " What is your available force fur
this purpose?"
To which Gen. Bragg promptly replied:
Five proclamations and one brigade."
Our informant did not see the point, and
asked Gen. Bragg to explain :
"Why," said he, "Governor Brown is
sued a proclamation, that was one. General
A. R. Wright's made two. The President's
made three. Senator B. H. Hill's made four,
and that from the eight members of Congress
made five.
"I shall consider Sherman a hard case if
I can't 'crush' him with five proclamations,
and ono brigade."

Patriotism in North Carolina
Mr. Richardson, the Tribune corresoond
ent who lately escaped .roux thd rebel prison
at Salisbury, N. C., in his thrilling accouht
of the adventures of himself and his com
panions, pays the following tribute to the
petriotisn which they found among the peo
ple of North Carolina:
For the first fifty miles we found o nly t wo
or three white Union people; but relied ex
clusively upon the negroes. Whenever we
met One, male or female, of mature years,
we told them with perfect frankness: " We
Cr,, Union prisoners, escaped from Salisbury,
trying to reach our homes, and we want you
to help 118." They invariably- responded
promptly; sheltered us whenever they could,
with anything like safety, and always fed
and piloted us. So far as their fidelity was
concerned, we felt just as safe among them
as if we had been in the Tribune editorial
rooms.
In fifty mile; we struck the mountains.
From that point to our lines, 200 miles by
the route We travelled, we, were constantly
among white friends. With what gindite , s
those men and women of the mountains—
who have all suffered inconceivably for their
fidelity to the cause—inany of whom have
had their nearest and dearest relatives mur
dered—welcomed:lnd simltered, and fed and
piloted us. With wit. t overflowing love they
took us to their homes and hearts, and per
iled their own lines to aid us! I have seen
self-sacrificemucL during the war: but, ex
cept in the nogriies, 1 have Witnessed nu loy
alty worthy to he mentioned with theirs. I
approach it reverently, with uncovered head,
as the holy of holies in tile temple of patriot
ism. When we !net them they gave us a
welcome warmer than that of kindred; when
we parted from them I am sure ninny a fer
vent prayer went up 11.0 m-their humble heart,3
tour Father, that He would guide us through
the dittioultiesv of our -long,- wearis,une jour
ney, and guard us against, the perils that
beset and en vironed it.
Of Dan. Ellis, the famous Union guide, he
writes:
We hail for months been familiar with the
name of Dan. Ellis, a famous guide, who has
done nothing from the beginning of the war
but escort persons through our lines. Ellis
i. , a genius, and his life is a romance. lie
has taken through more than four thousand
refugees, never losing, but one man, and he
wile lost through his own indiscretion. The
party had lived eight or ten days, in winter,
among the snowy mountains, upon parched
corn. (Dan. declares that parched corn is
its good to travel on as the most luxurious
food, if a man only thinks so; but I feel
bound to say that I have tried it, and don't
think so.) The man in question, finally re
volted, and declared lie would have an hon
est-meal, if he get captured. So he went to
a house, obtained the meal and did get cap
tured.. Early in the war, when our lines
were at Louisville and Knoxville, Ellis con
ducted party after party of refugees to those
points, four and live hundred miles through
the Cumberland mountains.
He is wary, vigilant and sleepless as an
Indian, and knows every secluded path and
every Union man through an immense range
of country. Again and again we were told,
fur back on the journey, "If you once fall
into the hands of Dan. Ellis and obey his
orders, you are perfectly safe." We did fall
into his hands one hundred and fifty miles
from our lines, in a peculiarly dangerous lo
cality, and to us ho was like a shadow of a
great rock in a weary land. He was just
starting for Knoxville with seventy Union
refugees, United States soldiers returning to
duty from their homes within the enemy's
lines. Sonic twenty of them were armed
and forty mounted. The moment he over
took us on the road, and was told who we
were, lie said : "Boys, here are some priso
ners escaped from Salisbury, almost worn
out with the journey. Get down MI your
horses ; we cannot afford to ride and let these
men walk.'' From this point, though some
of the country was more perilous than any
we, had passed through, we felt comparative
ly safe.
A FRIEND writing to us from Philadel
phia says: "I saw this afternoon many, very
many working men and women in their
working clothes,bring in to Jay Cooke's of
fice their little savings of $5O and $lOO, and
buy the $5O and $lOO 7.30 bonds. Don't let
anybody hereafter talk to me about the per
manency of a Government in whose per
manency the working classes are depositors!
Unshakable and eternal is the State which
is in debt to those of its citizens who depend
upon their daily labor for their daily bread."

a few hours later than that from our corres

try. The statement is said to be based on

with the North in the struggle in which the
country is engaged. If these assertions be

TEMPERANCE LECTURE.— On Meg
day evening last, the Rev. JonN CuestnErui,
of Philadelphia, delivered a lecturO in
Mime's Hall, on the trite theme of Tem
perance. The lecturer is a man of large ex
perience and considerable reputation as a
minister of the Gospel. In the treatment of
the temperance question, he argued, with
much force, too, that inasmuch as the oft
tried experiments of legislative enactments
looking either to the total prohibition or re
striction,of the &deer intoxicating beverages,
had in every instance proved entire, utter
failures, that experience teaches us to aban
don the idea of coercive measures.
Temperance societies or associations, had
accomPlisqMPOkng„and.could accomplish
nothing in the way of permanently abating
the evil. The only possible way to battle
successfully with the demon Alcohol, is
through the power and grace of the Divine
Spirit. Bring our young men under the in
fluence of holy religion and the battle is won.
Man's power is impotent, God's almighty.
Denunciation can do nothing, love every
thing.
The speaker drew some sad and touching
pictures of the evil consequences of intemper
ance, showing its inevitable tendency to de
bauchery, disgrace and perdition.
Appropos of this lecture, many of our
readers will remember a discussion some
years ago on this question by Mr. CHAMBERS,
and the Rev. Mr. LILLY, in which the latter
gentleman took the precise ground now oc
cupied by the former, and Mr. Cri AMBERS
argued strenuously in favor of prohibitory
laws, and coercive measures generally. What
a remarkable imtance of radical conversion
to diametrically opposing views. Who shall
say that the world is not moving?
PROOF:EDI NOS OF PROVOST MARSHAL'S
Omen.—We have nothing especially im
portant to chronicle in our report of this

most superhuman efforts of the faithful few,
charged with the duty of collecting the ne
cessary fluids -•herewith to pity - bountieS=:: -
dwindled down to a comparatively small
figure, and there is every reason to hope that
again we will be clear of the draft. Through
the entire District those men who have been
put into service as Substitutes and Volun
teers, are first-class, and will prove efficient
soldiers, reflecting honor on those they re
present.

were adopted.
WHEREAS, It has pleased the All wise
Providence to remove from us by death our
lamented Professor WILLIAM CARLYLE
%VrLsos, and
Witkakns, Our intimate relation to him
and our consequent loss makes us participa

have lost a true friend, a faithful counsellor
and a learned instructor, and while we deep
ly lament his death we bow submissively,
knowing our loss is his gain.
