Xo Paper tc-morsow. The employees of the Journal establishment will devote themselves to the proper observance of thi3, the first day in the New Year, aad therefore no paper will be issued from this office to-morrow. Tht Old "Tear. Few years have been so crowded with events making history as the one that bid us adiea last night. It came in, enveloped in anxious forebodings and gloomy anticipations it took its departure amid the crash of arms and wrapped in the smoke of battle. Its last hours were embittered by witnessing fraternal strife, and its death agonies intensiEed by the groans of dying men and the wail of orphan and widow. Its eyes- first opened upon a prosperous, growing and joyous people. They closed upon a coo. ii try blerdmg at every pore, a government struggling for existence, and upon a people, with Viricidal hards, clu'cliing each other's throats. Fed by the bountiful bands of previous years, daudied iu th arms of prosperity, with all ibe luxuriance of the present season showered upon this people, the old year had a right to expect that its closiug hours would not be embittered bv tb strife of its children. But the expectation was disappointed. With nations as individuals, indulgence and prosperity breed distempers which are only eradicated through great suffering, sorrow nrid sacrifice. Notwithstaui'ing the terrible scenes up on which the old year closed its eyes, a radiant smile of bore illumined its face a hope i hat this people purified by nfflictior, woa'd yet prove themselves) worthy of the blessings showered upon them by hundreds of indulgoot year?, and not forfeit their rik:l' tn the blight jewel, libertv. beaueathed them by their ancestors. The new year, we doubt not, will also greet us with a smile, but in making up our estimate as to what it has in store for us, it will be well to glance over the events of 1661: January 1st, of that year, found South Carolina alone out of the Union. Her act of secession was passed December 20th 1860. But the poison of secession was spreading with the most frightful rapidity. On the last day of that year, Senator Benjamin made a secession speech in the U. S. Senate, closing with the declaration that the "South could never be subjugated." This sentiment elicited the most rapturous a; plause in the galleries. Secretary Floyd had resigned, batteries were being erected around Fort Sumter, and thousands of restless adventurers were drilling in Baltimore aud Virginia for the purpose of Feizing the capitol at Washington at an appointed signal. It was openly declared that the President elect should never be inaugurated, and terror and dismay filled every patriotic heart. Following the secession of South Carolina the government forts and arsenals, with all their contents, were seized and appropriated by the States within whose limits they were. January 8tb, the ordinance of secession was passed by the State of Mississippi. On the some day the government steamship Star of the West was fired on by the rebels in Charleston harbor. Florida and Alabama followed Mississippi out of the Union on the 17th day of January. On the 19th, the Georgia Convention passed the ordinance of secession by a vote of 208 against 83. Louisiana followed on the 2Cth, and on the 1st cf February, a similar ordinance was adopted by the Convention of Texas. On the 18th of February the Southern Confederacy, composed of the States which had tb en seceded, was organized under a Provisional Constitution by the election of J fferson Davis of Mississippi, President, Stephens of Georgia, Vice President, and Mersri. Toombs, Meuaminger aad Walker us the Cabinet. Darker and darker gathered tht clouds over our ill-fafed republic. Several of the slave States, jet remaining in the Uiiiou, were paralyzing thx efforts of the regenerated administration, in preparing for tue 9torm of civil war. Secession cloaked itself, i" the border slave States, under the moie plausible doctrine of anti-coercion. Tiie same poison was undermining the loyalty of many even in the border free S'ales, aad the propriety of letting the Southern States go, was calmly discussed and vehemently urged by the most influential papers of the country. Iu the meantime, Mr. Lincoln had been peacefully inatv u rated, his cabinet was appointed and confirmed. The people breath,A easier. Tiea'-'Mi, however, leerd upon the 11 iminisiration from every department of the izovernmtnt. They knew not whom to trust. Army and navy officers were

resigning their coramissions daily, under the mos aggravated circnmBtances. Government officers were in active correspondence with the rebel leaders, and even Senators from free States were recommending persons to Mr. Davis, a3 having valuable improvements in fire arms to submit for his consideration. In spite of the efforts or' Mr. Lincoln and his co-laborers, the ship of state wa3 seen to be slowly and surely drifting upon the breakers, while the people, appalled, stood with uplifted hands, seemingly impotent to break the terrible

spell On the morning of April 13tb, at 4J ! o'clock, Fort Moultrie opened fire on Sumter, followed by Castle Pinckney and the various batteries which had been constructed around the ill-fated garrison. During that day and night the little garrison struggled against the fearful odd3, until blinded by smoke, their ammunition destroyed, and provisions exhausted, they surrendered. When the news ot the first gun flashed across the country, anxious groups crowded the telegraph offices night and day, until the last gun ceased, and it was known that Sumter was no longer ours. A feeling of relief ensued. Sumt&r was lost, but the nation ai.d the Union was saved. On lightning wings the proclamation of the President, calling for 75,000 volunteers to sup press insurrection, was borne across the continent, and everywhere was heard the roll of the drum and the tramp of armed men. On the 16th, four regiments had appeared in Boston, ready for duty; on the 18th, one passed through New York city, and on the 19th, Massachusetts volunteers sealed their devotion to their country with their blood in the streets of Baltimore, as their ancestors had done in the streets of Lexington on the same day, eighty-six years before. The dead point of danger seemed past. No more sickly talk about coercion was heard in the loyal States. The nation and nation's flag had been insulted, and the insult must be avenged. While this feeling was predominant in the North, the opposite was manifested in the South. Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas withdrew from the Union in rapid succession leaving behind, of all the slave States, only Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky and Missouri. The armed hosts of the two sections were soon fronting each other on the Potomac and in Western Virginia. The triumph of the Union troops in the latter section was rapid and complete. The rebels were driven out of that portion of the S:a! . nj a new government establisnr. ., Itle Potomac, howver, tne drat Struggle ranked disastrously to the Unioa arm', and it was driven in confusion from the battle field of Bull Run. What hours and days of anguish followed that inglorious defeat I Quickly the North rallied under the shock, and the rebels failed to reap any substantial advantage from their triumph. While thfs rnnlpslc nrara t nh '. . ty place on land, the navy was encircling the SouthernJ coast with a .blockade that de prived them of all communication with foreign nations, and many of the necessaries of life, and an expedition seized one of the most important harbors on the Southern coast, as a basis for future operations. It is well, to thus briefly run over some of the events of the past year, to properly appreciate our present position. At its opening, treason was entrenched every where in every department and in every bureau, in every regiment and in every ship of war, in the Post-oflice and in the Custom-house, and in every legation and consulate from London to Calcutta." To-day, the hideous monster is banished from all these strongholds, and confined to the States over whom it has nominal control , while five hundred thousand loyal men, armed with all the engines and implements of war, are in the field to drive him from those States. The opening year found us without an army, and without a navy. Its close witnesses one of the most magnificent bodies of men upon whom the sun ever shone, while a navy second but to two powers on the globe in the number of its vessels and guns, and second to nont in the daring and skill of its sailors, has been spoken into existence as by the power of magic. The old year ha3 not departed without witnessing some instances of ju.it retribution. Charleston haughty and defiant the plague spot cf this continent the instigator of these trouble? proudly sneered and scoffed at the efforts of the government, and with Sumter and Moultrie in her possession considered herself impregnable. To-day a blackened mass tells where the proud city once stood while a harbor filled with sunken hulks, ungladdened by ought save a fisherman's sail, will be all that remains of one of the proudest cities on the continent. No loyal heart can sit down and run over the events of the past year, without being filled with gratitude to overflowing. While many discouragements have fretted and mortified us, can we not realize the gigantic wtirk that has been done, take fresh courage and move onward? While it is sad to reflect" that hands so impious were found in this heaven-favored land as io attempt its destruction, is it not comfortiai? to know that stronger arms were thrown around it, for its preservation? Let the old year depirt 1 It is rich in history, and its lessons will not be lost upon humanity. Let us welcome the new year with gladness, confident that peace will be restored to our borders, and that our people, chastened by affliction, will become more virtuous, and consequently more happy. The contraband goods lately sold in this city realized for the government the sum of $5,875. The Iudianapolis Journal was told by the Marshal that among the goods was a box o" blacking, in the bottom of which wa3 a quantity of military but tons Ibis neat little cheat was shipped by some of our Evansville merchants

Startling Disclosures. We call attention to tho article on the outside of to-day's Jocrsal, exposing the ritual, password, sigrns &e., of a treasonable secret society existing iu this State. The Indianapolis Journal states that a lodge of that society has been organized in Evansville. We do not believe the assertion, but would advise loyal men to keep their eyes open, and if possible, hunt out the treasonable organization, if by any chance it has gained a foothold among us. The man who would subscribe to the oath publiied by the Journal, as the obligation of this new

society, deserves the death of a traitor, and we are mistaken if there are not in this city, stout and loyal arms enough to hang all such emissaries of Jeff. Davis, without judge or jury, or "the benefit ot clergy. The miscreant who would thus secretly assist the armed enemies of the government, in this crisis of her deBtiny, deserves to be hung like a dog to th9 nearest limb. The Carrier's Address. In accordance with a time honored custom, the Carrier's of the Daily Journal have prepared an address to their patrons which will be distributed by them this morning. Our carriers, so far as we know, have served the Journal readers faithfully through the past year, and we bespeak for them a kind and generous reception which their diligence and faithfulness merit. Have your "quarters" ready. We are under many obligations to Hon. John Law for Congressional docu ments and the daily Globe. Mr. Law's kindness is duly appreciated. Moving. The 60th Regiment i3 preparing to vacate the barracks now occupied by them, and have pitched their tents on the river bank above Cherry street. They are provided with the Sibley tent, with sufficient warming apparatus, and the "boys'' will doubtless be as comfortable, auct more healthy in their new quarters, than they have been in the barracks. Col. Bridgland's cavslry regiment on its way from Indianapolis to Kentucky, did not stop at Bedford for the winter, as reported It is moving, and will strike the Ohio river near Leavenworth. Capt. Frybarger of the Indiana Ar tillery, has been appointed Major in the regular army. Col. Rankin of the Lancer regiment of Detroit, a citizen of Canada, has resigned his commission in anticipation of a war wun Bmgiantr; . Six ambulances with litters com plete, are at the depot. They are designed for the 42od Indiana regiment. The remains of Capt. B icon, who was killed in the late skirmish near Sacramento. Kv.. arrived tHo stearoerHetty Gilaiore, yesterday morning, en route for Leuisville. 6f""It will be seen by our dispatches that Gen. Philip St. George Cooke commit ted suicide last Tuesday at his residence in Virginia. He had several sons in the reb el army, and he, no doubt, became wearied with a position he could not abandon without dishonor, but which might at any moment bring him in conflict with his children. He was a gallant and able officer and the country will mourn over his sad fate. Thfc pleasant custom of exchanging "New Years' Calls," will doubtless be fol lowed to-day by the gentlemen, though its observance will scarcely be as general as heretofore. Many families who have hith erto Kept "open nouses, will not receive calls to-day. The extravagance of past years, in providing entertainment for guests, has bad the effect to close many houses to-day, where the inmates would be happy to receive their friends, but are unable or unwilling to furnish such a "table," as is considered necessary amid the "upper ci'cles." The custom of providing for callers, upon New Years' Day, everything eatable and drinkable to be had in the market, is a "custom more honored in the breach than in the observance." It should be discarded, at least until the war is over. From a Correspondent of the N. A. Ledger. From Pilot Knob. Pilot Knob, Mo., Dec. 25, 1861. Gentlemen : Thinking that a brief letter from the 1st Indiana cavalry, at this time, would prove interesting to you and your reader, I concluded to while away a leisure moment in scribbling for your edification. Four companies of our regiment are now stationed at Fredericktown, (the scene of our late battle with Jeff. Thompson) and are under command of the gallant Mojor Forth, who, by the way, though recently appointed, has gained the full confidence of the entire regiment. The remaining four companies are encamped in an old meadow, a quarter of a mile due west from the Knob, on a beautiful elevation overlooking the town, and various batteries and entrenchments lately made by the troops stationed here. This place is now sufficiently fortified to defy, with a few thousand men, any force likely to be brought against it by the rebels. While I now write the roar of our "big guns," and the incessant fire of small arms, kept up a continual echo between the high mountains which skirt our little encampment, and the "boys7' are passing away Christmas with much glee. LieutCol. Wood is now out with a force of one huudred and thirty men on a reccnnoitering expedition toward the Arkansas i line, aud from last accounts he was six ten 1 miles below Centerville, but had heard no thing of the enemy in tbat vicinity. The health of the troops in this locality is improving every diiy. We have provided ' good stbles for our horses, and are uow pretty well fixed for winter. tfa&'The Grey ififegta h id on board yesterday a gay party ,f ltdies aud gentleaen from the up-river towns, who seemed to 1 . , ..... , be enjoying the hospitalities or the Eagle to the fullest extent.
