GENERAL BUTLER S is attriteting con 7
hitlerable attention by his course with
regard to the settlement of the Alabama
claims! He insists that if we submit to
England ; the alternative- of giving up
Canada in 'payment of -the diunago -we
have sustained from her, or of to
War; VIM; CAfilithi - Wilild lio - bilts
This may poiAaps be true, but' General
Butler should remember that very many
astute statesmen have found themselves
, niiStaken in their predictions Of the'con
sequences of assuming a warlike-attitude
to another .nation.. Mr. /Seward was
somewhat short in his calculations when
he predicted that the rebellion would be
,orided in ninety days. The -rebel leaders
were-also-slightly mistaken Nvlvea. they
Supposed that their own valor, the ex
tent of their territory, and the, moral aid
of the Northern Democracy would pre
vent their subjugation. And still more
recently, Napoleon 111 fUund that bully
ing' a rivpl nation into measures, by
declaration of war, was by no means a
paying speculation. And while we
cheerfully concede that Mr. Butler's
, sagacity is quite as great as that of any
of the parties named, we , respectfully
suggest that their exnerienee may he as
valuable as his 'predictions.
Gen. Butler's early political training
—was-unfortunate,, and-to-that-wo-may
tribute some of the erroneous doctrines
which ho occasionally advances.
- was brought up at the feet of the lead
ers t pf the Democracy. It was ‘ one of
,their cardinal principles to advocate any
policy, which in their opinion was nec
essary to keep themselves in power,
- Gen. Butler's strongest argument in
favor of wwarlike demonstration, is that
it will re-elect Gen. Brant,-and continue
the Republican party in power, We do
not believe this, and if it Were even so,
it is manifest to all right thinking men
that this would po no justification for
the commencement of a war. ,Whenilie
existence or the honor of our nation an
in no other way be maintained, cm the
rights of her citizens can be vindicated'
in no other manner, it'will then be the
duty of the Administraion to resort to
war, but in. ally other contingency there
could be no justification for it. TIM -
political party that inaugurates war to
prolong its existencebr its lease of power
deserves, and would receive .complete
overthrow.'
Gen. Miller should understand that
the Repniiii cap party I:as thus I'ersuc
ceeded on the, inert to or its principles,
and that Is the only 'ground on which it,
can appeal for further support. The
party that could command the confidence
of-the people through the long and often
doubtful struggle of the rebellion, in
spite of the opposition which its con
scription and taxation caused among
those Atise patriotism was weak, need
have no fears, that anything but its own
political ,Slll3 can defeat it. It need
raise no issue on which to appeal to the
baser passions of the people.
_When war .
is hictititable it should-not fail to accept
it, fdr . thon the nation will rally to its
support. But a war undertaken for the
'purpose- of prolongitn; .its-poworr - would
be a disastrous policy and an inexcusable
crime. Lot us have peace.
THE INTERNAL REVENUE
Mr. Delano lias Math) his report or the
()potations of the Internal Revenue office
during the last current year. It is 4
very important paper, and is of great
interest to all who concern themselves
about the raising of funds sufficient to
defray the expenses of the gevernment,
and to pay the' illy, debt.
The • report sho4s that tho internal
revenue received for the ybar just closed
is in round numbers $80,000,000, which
is 10,000,000 more than the Commission
ers estimate, and 25,000,000 more than
IVere'reerj.zed during the previous year.
The main items from which revenue was
obtained and the amounts produced
by each are set out as follows : From
spirits,sso,sBl,oo9 and from tobacco:lBl,-
300,707 ; the other kources are taxes on'
gross receipts, sales, incomes, banks,
special taxes, legacies' successions, pass
ports, gas, penalties and stamps.
Front the report it appears that by
comparing the receipts of the first eigh- I
teen months of the present administra
tion, with the last eighteen months of
the administration of Andrew Johnson,
there has been nn increase of the reve—
nues over $49,000,000, and taking the
same tax list on which the former ad
ministration was run, the increase would
foot up nearly $107,00.000. This is
evidence conclusive, that the Bureau has
been conducted with an energy, honesty)
-and- faithfulness during Mr. Delano's
term, which were wholly unknown under
his predecessor.
GEN. T. SHERMAN has made his
annual report to the Secretary of War.
According to the latest reports the regu
lar army is composed of 2,488 officers,
and 34;780 enlisted men. There are ten
regiments of cavalry, containing 9,892
men ; live regiments of artillery, 'con
taining-1,300'; and twenty live regiments
of in fan try con tai nWO 6,896 ; the
arc on recruiting and detached service.
The report is a very brief one, and deals
entirely with the condition of the army:-
GEN., HARRY_ :MUTE, Speaker-of-the
Senate, has issued his iiroclaination for
the election of a &antra. in the First
Senatorial District of Philadelphia; to
succeed the Hon. tlecoased_
The election will take place on the twen
tieth of December, and will be the most
iinportant- and exciting xhilthas occurred

AItNIY OF THE CUMTIERLAND7WHAT lIE

LEI
The following is the full text of
General Sherman's speech, at the recent
anniyersary gathering of the Army of
the Cumberland, at Cleveland, Ohio, as
published in the herald of that city
As General Sherman rose to respond
to the toast "From. Chattanooga to
A.tlaqa—one hundred days' fire," he
was greeted with tremendous and long
continued cheering. The seldieni Of
that beloved leader mounted the chairs,
swung their hats and shouted till the
very lags above them, borne "from
Chattanooga to Atlanta" by his victori
ous legions, seemed to wave in response.
At length all became quiet and crowded
around the speaker, eager to hear. The
Confusion which bad prevZMted many of
the speakers from being heard at all was
entirely hoslaid. General Sherman said :
Yee have already been told by Gen
eral Palmer that hare we al.o all equal:

place and its advantages fo•defonso, and
I surely thought Johnston would' make a
stand there. I was not a little surprised
that he did not, and we had no clmico but

years ; thus virtually adding to otteroad
a track of twenty-five miles, the cost of
which will be about eigkt, hundred
thousand dollars. The work on this
Mail is now about one-half done, and
that company expect to finish it by the
first of April, next. In the purchase of
their lands, the erection of furtiaaes, the
building of their road and other improve
ments: this company,will have expended,
perhaps, a million and a half,;of-dollars,
to pay for which will necessitate a large
amount df bushiest in transportation of
'iron ore, iron and coal, and greatly
increase the tonnage upon our road ;
this, together with the freight of ore and
iron from the South lgonntain Rciad, has
induced the boarl to hasten the laying
of another track from Mechgnicsburg to
Bridgeport, a distance of about eight
miles, and to increase
B at sidings at the
latter point. This second track between
Bridgeport and Mechanicsburg has been
so far done, that the grading will be
completed the present season and made

pended upon this work. $5,7113.34. 4
new siding, 1,810 feet long, has been put
in at Kingston station, and ono 447 feet

Bridgeport and Harrisburg, $2,775.19.
A new passenger station house has been
built at Bridgeport, and one at Hagers
town, costing together, $3,880.69. The
new 'passenger engine, commenced last
year, has been completed. at a cost'of
$2,465.82. Our necessities requiring sd
ditional sidings at Bridgeport, rendered
it necessary, to purchase additional land,
and we obtained a strip about three

sufficient for all our purposes at 'that

SPo will r eqUiro about eight Inintrred
tons of iron-orsteel'ruils during the next
year, and it is contemplated to build
two passenger ears, and to supply the
shop with Some additional tools.
With regard to the further extension
of. the double track west from -Mechan
icsburg, it is questionable 'whether it
may not be dispensed with for the pres
ent') The completion of the South Reim
sylvania Iron and Railroad 'Company's
road, and the realization; approximately,
of their anticipations 'of business mast
be provided for, but whether this. may
not be by adding to the length of our
sidings, whereby more than one 'train
may ho -passed, is a question Which our.
experience — hi the next year will deter=
mine. •
A company has been ineorporaMd. by
the laws of West Virginia to build n road
from the terminus of ours, at " Powell's
Bentl,7 via Martinsburg, to the lino of
that State, and Virginia has incorpo
rated a company to continue this improve-.
ment to Winchester, and 4 thence into the
Luray Valleypooking to a further ex
,tension to points crossing the Manassas
Gap and Chesapeake and Ohio Railrpads,
and, indeed, communicating witll . -the
entire Southwest.. Little or nothing has
yet been -ftecomPlished in the exception
of_these projects except the organisation
of the MartinsbUrg, and Potomac Cons-
Pany,.whose road embraces the lino be
tween the terminus of our road at "Pow
ell's Bend," and the West Virginia State
lino near Winchester. This company
- hascbeemorganized with the nom Chas.
J. Faulkner" at its head, a sufficient
amount of stock subscribed, and the
work will be let and commenced imme
diately. This will render necessary the,
erection of a bridge over' the Potomac
river'at the present terminuri of our road,
having a span of eight hundred and forty
feet-river-hcre- is shallow; - .Witlr arr
entire rock 'bottom. Within tire 'text
year we rimy reasonably expent - follave
connection with the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad at Martinsburg, and the Chesa
peake. and Ohio Canal at "Powell's
Bend," enabling no to 'furnish that ex
tensive region with lumber and anthracite
coal, and to receive their biturainous
coal and agricultural Products in return.
The immense discoveries and develop
ments of iron ore all along theline of our
road, and the preparations norr'being
made for milling it, naturally suggest
the question, will there be a demand for
it ? But when we comtemplate the fact,.
that all the iron now made in the United
States is not aderprate to supply the de
mand for the construction and repair of.
railroads alone, and that we annually
import nearly half a million of tons, we
- may readily imagine, that the country
wilinot very 'long endure the rise of for
eign iron in competition with that pro
duced by tire industry of our own people.
Our road has peculiar, faeilities for the
supply of ore, as it connects with the
Pennsylvania-- rind Northern Central
Railroads at Harrisburg., by which we
reach all the furnaces on the Susque
hanna river and the Reading Rail
road, by which we can' supply_ all those
Upon the Lehigh and Schuylkill. We
