Hut some rtspbt is surely due to the feelings of (be American government. The men might not have been captured if the American government had not faithfully and vigorously enforced its laws against piratical enterprise. And this fact warrants intercession, and entitles it at least to respectful consideration. The interference in the course of justice in an independent state is not like that of the King of Prussia, who solicited the re prieve of the assassin Mnller merely be cause he was a countryman. The fact that the blood-stained wretch wa9 a (Herman, gave the King of Prussia no right of appeal against biitish justice. The Presideut of the American Union may fairly claim to intercede for mercy on the gmuad that by the help of his power the fi-oners had fallen iuto tlie hands of tiiqir enemies. 15ut the question of the disposal of these men is not to be determined by influences, permissible or not, but by high er considerations.

The truth is, how ever, that the sentiment ol the country would not have endurrd t'-e enforcement of the extreme penalty for treason in the instances named , , "> We have seen it that, to show we are not alraid of the Americans we ought to act as if \tfe wrere in great tear ot t..e Keniai** an ft make an example of the captured ..ffeuders. liut fear should nothing to do with the question, least of ail the i;:sr of beiog thought afraid.

No trains have arrived since yesterday noon, ar.d none have left. It is the greatest tor,n that has occurred for twenty years, and still continues. NEW YORK, Dec. 28.— A fresh wind from the southwest prevailed since even ing, causing very low water in our rivors. The f-try navigation is very difficult on all sides of the city on-this account. Three schooners are reported ashore inside of Sandy rfook. HUUS-'N, Dec. 28. —The storm of last night was the most severe ever known in this city, every avenue iu the city being blockaded. The Hudson and Berkshire Railroad is completely closed. Four pas senger cars of the Hudson River Road were blown from the track last evening, but without seiious damage. Trees and fences, in all directions, are blown down, ami the damage done will be very great. BCFFALO, Dec 28. —The wind is stormy and blustering. There is a dreadful storm between Hamburg and Dunkirk, and the snowdrifts are from five to twelve feet deep in places. The hands have stopped w<rk on the road untij tho storm abates. Two freight trains collided today <>n the Niag ara Falls Railroad, near Knowlesville— The two locomotives were mashed up, and sixteen cars were badly broken. The Lake Shore Road is completely blockaded of Dunkirk, and passengers from the West are ferried as Dunkirk to the Erie Road. The Central Railroad sent out regular trains to-day. The through train from Schenectady has arrived. The road will be all right in a day or two. The trains on the Great Western Road are running regularly.

The trrrlh of .his assertion is not only felt in the South, where we are made to recog nize tho existence of a foreign yoke im posed upon us; but the fact that the war has destroyed the liberties of the North is painfully apparent to the sensible people of that section. The madness of that tri umphant party which is now revelling in the abuse and misuse of power, njay con ceal the loss of libel ty from those who, he cause they are to-day the oppressors, lose sight of the probability that to-morrow thev may be the oppressed ; hut the day is coming when the blindest fanatic will rue the consequences of his own work. There are to-day more slaves in Ameri ca than when the negroes were bondmen from the Potomac to the R ; oGrandp—and the wotst is tlirtt now thev are all white. The national debt which is now fastened upon us makes every toiling tax payer a slave of ilie government, and although the delusive hope is h-ld out that this debt will he discharged in a quarter of a centu ry, vet who believes that this expectation wilfbe realized? Such extravagant habits have been fastened upon the United States government by Radical rnle, that, although the debt may be Todoced v et\ yet the corruptions and wild expenditures of a single session of Congress may increase it many hundred millions above the last point of reduction. Moreover, who believes that tire United States will be free from foreign or domes tic war for the next twenty-five years ? And yet the supposition that the debt can he paid within that time, assumes a period of profound pace; for.of course, war wonld vastly increase the "national blessing." As long as the debt and the enormous taxation incident to it continue, no tax pay ing American is free ; he is a laborer, a slave for the government and its bond holders. Even in the ordinary course of justice, and in the channels of the law, the power of the creditor over the debtor is tremendous. -It was formerly not only a over property, but the person also. Of all creditors, the government in the ex action of its taxes is the most inexorable, and its remldics for their collection the harshest and most summary. Should that financial crisis which many predict as impending fall up n the people of the tjoited Stales, they will then fully realize the extent of that slavery "which has been fastened upon them by their rulers. In.that day there will be thous ands who would exchange places with the I happy and contented alaves of a •Southern planter in tpe olden time. A man in England was lately beaten to ' death while boxing with gloves on. Refreshing' loyally. !

Thirty members and senators par ! ticipaxed the first night- It is run by Rep resentative Dodge, of New \ ork, on the part of the Uouse, and Senator Wilson, of Mass., on the part of the Senate. The • formei :e the man' that ousted Mr Brooks from his seat, through bribery and corrup : tion. Three checks were produced before i the committee dated on Sunday, signed by Dodge, and drawn in favor of the drinking houses. He and his brother, during the war, imported a large amount of lead stat r uary, upon which there was no duty, and cut them up and sold the lead. This is the way he supported the Govern ! inent—made thousands of dollars by cheat ing it out of its revenues. A pretty Dodge! Senator Wilson iuhed from the Senate Chamber in May. 1801, secured a colo nel's commission, wesit to Massachusetts, raised a,regiment got back to Washington about the time somebody trot licked at Bull Ilun, handed back bis commission to Cameron, and never afterwards crossed the Potomac. It is reported that he lately joined ihe Church. New converts are often like young bees, b'ggest when first hatched ; hence his enthusiasm. No two men could be found better suited to run a Rmnp prayer-meeting, than the loyal Dodger and the saintly Wilson. The for mer is a knave, the latter a coward. — Ex. WHERE'S THE NIGGER? —A Radical sheet, the Tamqua Journal, says : " We have had the Republican victory —now, where's the hnigg.r?" Thereupon the Bellcfonte Watchman go-s at the following rapid rate: "Go to your store, and you get from eighteen to twenty-five cants' worth of nig ger in every yard of muslin you buy; from ten to fifteen c- nts worth of nigger in ev ery yard of calico vonr wife find children use; from six to eight dollars' worth of nigger in each barrel of fiour your family con-limes ; twenty-five cents worth of nig ger in each pound of coffee you purchase ; from eight to twelve cents' worth of nigger in every pound of sugar you buy to sweet en it ; you'll find a small bit of nigger in your box of matches, and considerable of nigger in your plug of tobacco. You can eat nothing, wear nothing, see nothing, ta-'te nothing, or have notlnng, that is not more or less affected by the miserable nig gerism that has controlled the country since' Old Abe'left Springfield for Wash ington.' 1 ATTF.MPTF.D GRAVF.

HARRISDURG State Pensions to Soldiers of 1812. IIARKISBUKG, Dec. 28. STALE Treasur er William B. lvemble has directed to ke prepared at once a list of the soldiers of 1812 entitled to pensions from the State of Fennsylvania. Separate lists for each county will, as soon as tliey are completed be forwarded by Mr. Kemble to the Treas urers thereof, which officers will pay the semi-annual pensions due on the Ist of January, 18G7. Massachusetts has three negroes in her Legislature and three hundred and thnty four in the State Prison. IMITATION.—The dead duck,'in imitation of his former master,has issued a proclama tion from his seat in the Hump Seoa'e calling upon the' loyal" in this State to employ every means to s< cure the election of Thsd. Stevens to that body. Forney would have to employ m->r wenches than he doe* now, if Iliad. would happen to go to that place, or there would soon he "loyal" rumpus in the Senatorial closets. -*•■ —— Prentice sppaks of a bawling Kentnck ian, who was bragging about how loyal he felt, and who. being asked what he meant by it, replied : "I feel as if I should like to shoot somebody, steal something, or betray mv neighbor." This is about the best defi nition of "loyalty" we ever saw. It is stated that the name of the French man who engaged with Weiehman in teaching in Washington, and who furnish ed the information leading to the arrest of John H. Surratt, is Santa Farara —at least that is the name by which he then passed. He is a tall, good-looking man, with black hair and moustache, and manners somewhat dignified. Two ago churches were clospd for not praying during service for the Presi dent. But now it is changed. This is a Radical change. Artemus Ward says thero are no daily papers published in his town, but there is a ladies' sewing circle, whioh answers the same purpose. Impeachment does not appear to be a very popular measure with the most saga cious Republican leaders. A steel corset saved the life of a lady in Louisville who was accidently shot by her SOD. Radical Rum. The Tribune , which was once a promi- I neot temperance organ, prints a despatch from its Washington correspondent grave- i ly proposing that "the government shall j " take possession of all the (whiskey) dis- ] " tilleries in the United States, and do all the manufacturing. The " model republic" is thus to stand among the governments of earth as the great national "rum-mill." — There are objections : Government, when brought to the centralization point pro posed by the Radicals, will have quite enough to do in superintending the tele graphs, the insurance companies, the Tribune, and other '•associations,'" and the Freedtnen's and Tribune "Bureaus" in the South If the government, too, gives i countenance to the production ot whiskey, the Senate will hardly dare to try to dimin ish its consumption in the Capitol, as a special resolution in that body tried to do last winter. The cloak and committee rooms aitached to the Senate and the House will become public instead of private bar rooms. BASKS can be as drunk as he pleases in Portland, and no investigating committee from Maiden will challenge his right to imbibe government whiskey. In deed, the indlenium is very near when tire government not only makes good whole some laws for the people, but also manu factures first-class whiskey. The only way to prevent frauds upon the revenue, is, not to make the government a distiller, but lo reduce the duties so as no 1 to offer a posi tive premium to all sorts of fraud. — World. Miss Alice Kingsb; ry, the actress, went to the Baptist Church in San Fran cisco recently and volunteered to teach a class in the Sunday School. The offer was accepted, and the superintendent com pliinented the lady ori the manner in which she performed the duties. He, however when lecturing to the children on tneir duties, warned them to shun the theatre, for it was a "light house of hell and all ac tors and actresses were emmissariea of the devil." Miss Ivtngsbujy got up and stated that she was an actress and a member of rhe church, and in a short speech defended tho profession in a manner that .placed hors du combat the man who had opened the war. AN EXCELENT SPIRIT. —The MEMPHIS Post tells a story greatly to the honor of a son of General Lee. At a dinner partv in Richmond, one of the guests proposed a toast, "The Fallen Flag." Colonel Lee pre-emptorily placed his hand upon the glass, and arose. "Gentlemen," said lie, "this will not do. We are paroled priso ners. Wa now have but one flag and that is the flag of our whole country—the glo tious old stars and stripes. I can recog nize no other, fight tor no other, driuk to no other. As Ust'AL.—The first bill called up in th • Rump Senate, was to establish negro suffrage in the District of Columbia. Sum ner called if. The first bill in the Rump House was to repeal that portion of the act of 18G2, which empowered the Presi dent to grant pardon and amnesty. An other Massachusetts fellow, Elliot; intro duced the bill. The first Mate that tried to get out of the Union was this same Massachusetts. She is always ahead when treason and plunder arc tiie reward.
