tional armies had been foiled at almost every point Gen. Grant had been defeated in all his efforts to flank Vicks burg. The disastrous capture of Holly Springs, with Sherman's repulse at Vicks" burg, crowned with the terrible disaster at Fredericksburg, had filled the rebel

States with', rejoicing, and enveloped patriotic hearts in gloom. The peace Democracy had succeeded at most of the elections in the Northern States, and were jubilant at the prospect of controlling the next Congress and

compelling the President to abandon the war. Up to this time, it will be remembered, the President had persisted in pursuing a conservative policy towards slavery. He had not said anything to neoj tralize the effects of his modification of

the proclamations of Gens. Fremont and Hunter. It is true, he had issued a notice of a forthcoming Proclamation, but all his acts that far were according to Gen. McClellan's idea of const r.ativ-

FOR PRESIDENT IN 1804 ABRAHAM LINCOLN FOR VICE PRESIDENT ANDREW JOHNSON,

ism. With the first day of the new year, the

Proclamation of Freedom went ringing through the land, from the White House. It was answered by ltosecrans' victorious columns at Stone River. Since then, the Government has been successful in almost every engagement Every North em State but one has repudiated the

Peace Democracy, and our armies, so far from disentegrating were consolidated and fought with a heroism and enthusi" asm unknown at any other stage of the war. The testimony of Gens. Grant, Sheiman,Rosecrans, and all the other General who have won victories, is to the effect that the President's Proclamation is the most deadly blow yet dealt the rebellion. Poor little Mac ! his generalship on the slavery question will prove as disastrous to his political adherents as his generalship on the Peninsula was to the noble army placed under his command.

Of Tennessee.

SEE FOURTH PAGE. The Sew York Day Book. The Day Book has always stood high in the estimation of the rebels. They patronized it liberally before the war, and there are good reasons for believing that they have afforded it material aid ever since. Their confidence in the paper is unlimited, and, so far as our observation extends, ha3 never been betrayed. The paper has labored consistently and persistently in their behalf. Before the war, its energies and talents were spent in endeavoring to persuade the American people to bow down and worship the institution of slavery, and accept aristocratic slave-owners as their law-makers and executives; since the war, it has labored just as hard to compel them to submit to the rebels by creating dissensions in the Northern States, fomenting riots, and weakening in every way the hands of the Government. Of course its potency for mischief consists alone in the fact that ail it does and says is done and said in the name of Democracy. Did it not receive the endorsement of papers calling themselves Democratic, throughout the country, its influence would amount to nothing, the rebels would withdraw their support wisely concluding that they

conld make a more profitable investment of their money and the paper would die. So long, however, as it is recognized as an organ of the Democratic party, and its leading articles copied with approval by Democratic papers, we may expect it to continue its attacks upon the Government, and disseminate poison in the minds of the people. But it is an insult to Democrats who earn their living by the sweat of their brows, to quote the sentiments and language of the Day Book as sound Democratic doctrine. It is the most unblushing advocate of slavery that has ever disgraced our nation. It has gone as far in its advocacy t)f the institution of slavery as any of the rebels in the South. It has insisted that slavery ought not to. be confined to color; but, in 1856, earnestly advocated the enslaving of poor AMERICANS, GERMANS and IRISH, who may fall into poverty and be unable to support their families. The following are the Day Book's exact words in speaking of the POOR WHITE PEOPLE: "Sell all the parents of these children into SLAVERY. Let our Legislature X. Y. pass a law that whoever will take these parents and take care of them and their OFFSPRING in sickness and in health clothe them, feed them, and house them shall be legally entitled to their services; and let the same Legislature decree that whosoever receives these parents and their CHILDREN, and ob

tains their services, shall Uke care of ACT r - - n m

iuciuao a-V-NU AS Till!. LilVJfc. Do our laboring men recrard atrocious

sentiments like those we have quoted as sound and " Constitutional' Democracy? Yet the Day Book supported James Buchanan by such arguments, and they were efficient, because its main circulation teas in the Southern States. We say it was regarded as soundly Democratic then, and, without any public avowal of a change of opinion, so far as we have been able to ascertain, it is quoted as Democratic to-day. Democracy must be well into the gutter when a paper which openly recommended the passage of a law enslaving POOR WHITES, is still retained a; an official organ of the party.

There is a rumor in Washington

to the effect that about four weeks ago an agent of the rebel Government passed through that city to New York, to make arrangements with the editor of a prominent paper there to keep it alive. The Ambassador, the rumor states, with his"dineing and windeing"at a secession boarding house in Washington, became garrulous and openly asserted that from $.300 to $1,000 a week would be given in Confederate securities to keep the paper going. The story is not improbable in any particular, except the "Confederate securities." Even Jeff. Davis himself, would not be so foolish as to anticipate that anything much less a Copperhead daily paper could be kept alive in New York on "Confederate securities." The Lamar correspondence exposed the extent to which English papers were subsidized by rebel agents with rebel gold, and most certainly the Confederate authorities would have no hesitation in using the same agency to break down the unanimity of the Northern States, create dissatisfaction with the war and prepare the public mind for the recognition of the rebel Government. It cannot have been forgotten how unanimous the people were in the eariy part of 1861 for the suppression of the rebellion by force of arm3; nor how suddenly, afterwards, leading Democratic papers in

different parts of the country took the opposite course. The unanimity with which they advocated the impossibility of suppressing the rebellion must have had a common source of inspiration. What so likely to inspire them as a liberal distribution of rebel gold. We have always wondered at the suddenness of their change from war to peace papers and can account for it in no way so satisfactory as that furnished by the Washington rumor. A Romantic Story if True A few days ago we made mention of the marriage of the armless color-sergeant of a Massachusetts regiment, Plunkett, to Miss Nelly Lorrihier. The wedding took place in Worcester, though the parties belong in Leicester. We have now an additional fact of interest connected with the incident. When he left for the wars Plunkett was engaged to a Miss Lorrimer. Upon his return, he considered his helpless condition, and offered a release to his betrothed, which was readily accepted. Her sister was so indignant at this that she said she would marry the brave man herself if he was agreeable, and agreeable he was, and they married. Thanks to the generosity of the brokers' boards of Boston and New York, and of the people he has met since his return, Plunkett, the hero, is in independent circumstances pecuniarily. Hartford Post.

ready long, can be better matured here- j alter, should occassion demand their dis- ; cussion. I must not omit to bear public j testimony again to the efficient manner in which the recruiting of volunteers is

conducted through the municipal governments. The work is brought directly home to the people. Led by their own local magistrates, it is patriotically done. Time, an element not usually understood, will enable them to fill our contingent 1 can never express rny sense

of the sublime devotion to puouc uuiy I have witnessed in the people from my watch-tower of observation ; nor the gratitude I owe for their indulgent colsideration. Ttnt the heart swells with unwonted

emotion when we remember our sons and brothers, whose constant valor has sus-

tained on the held, during nearly tnree years of war, the cause of country, of civilization, and liberty. Our volunteers ha.ve represented Massachusetts, during the year just ended, on almost every field and in every department of the army where our flag has been nnfurled. At Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Vicksburg and Pott Hudson, at Chickamauga, KnoxvilleandChattanooea, under Hook

er, and Meade and Banks, and Gillmore, and Rosecrans, Burnside and Grant in every scene of danger and of dutv.along the Atlantic, and the Gulf, on the Tennessee, the Cumberland, the Mississippi, and the Rio Grande, under Dnpont and Dahlgren, and Foote, and Farragut, and Porter tha tons of the Massachusetts

have borne their part, and paid the debt of patriotism and valor. Ubiquitous as the stock they descend from, national in their opinions and universal in their sympathies, they have fought should.r to shoulder with men of all sections and of every extraction. On the ocean, on the rivers, on the land, on the heights where they thundered down from the clouds of Lookout Mountain the defiance of the skies, they have given with their swords a record imper

ishable. The Muse itself demands the lapse of silent years to soften, by the influence of time, her too keen and poignant realization of the scenes of war the pathos, the heroism, the fierce joy, the grief, of battle. But during ages to como she will brood over their memory. Into the hearts of her consecrated priests will breathe the inspirations of lofty and untiring beauty, sublimity, and truth in all the glowing forms of speech, of literature, and plastic art.

LYON'S COLUMN.

St. Louis has recentlv offered

such a secure market for stolen horses that the thieves became emboldened, and have about cleaned the good stock out of the country fcr a hundred miles around the citv. A well-organized gang have operated quite extensively in Southern Illinois, and until recently managed to elude detection when caught were never convicted. The citizens became tired of this, and a few weeks since lynched Ned O'Brien, one of the ringleaders. Since that time five othi r horse-thieves, who were caught with stolen property, have beenbung, and the gang is believed to be exterminated. The matter was conducted so quietly that few beside the participants had any knowledge of what transpired. The last man hung was

about the 1st inst, in Randolph County. These thieves were also engaged in circulating counterfeit money, and have put in circuiation large quantities of bogus greenbacks and postal currency. Another Guerrilla Raid. We learn from the Pt. Pleasant (W. V.) Register, that on Saturday night a band of guerrillas, numbering about 150, under the command of one Major Downing, entered Winfield, Putnam county, and captured W. H. Shaw, the sheriff of that county, stole some ten or twelve horses, broke open a store belonging to Mr. George Cox. taking and destroying goods to the

amount of from $1,000 to $1,500. After I ham, aged -i years.

They entered the telegraph office, took all the ink, pens, paper, envelopes, &c, they could find, but did not disturb the " battery;" they then cut the telegraph wire in one or two places, and concluded their depredations at Red House by taking all the valuable horses they could find; they recrossed the river to Winfield, ana about 2 o'clock retreat

generations of parents and children, the heroic dead will live on in immortal youth. By their names, their character, their services, their fate, their glory, they cannot fail: "They never fail who die In a great cause ; tha block may soak their core ; Their headis may sadden in the sun ; their limbs Ba strung to city gates and cattle wills ; But still the ir spirit walks abroad. Though yesrs Elapse and others sharo as dark a doom, They but augment the deep and sweeping thoughts Which overpower all others, and coaduct The world at lat to Fbeedou." The edict of Nantes maintaining the religious liberty of the Huguenots gave luster to the fame of Henry the great, whose name will ever gild the pages of philosophic history after mankind may have forgotteu the martial prowess and the white plume of Navarree. The great proclamation of liberty will lift the rnler who uttered it, our nation and our age, above all vulgar destiny. The bell which rang out tho Declaration of Independence has found at last a voice articulate, to "Proclaim Liberty throughout the Land and to all the Inhabitants thereof." It has been heard across oceans, and has modified the sentiments of cabinets and kings. The people of the old world have heard it, and their hearts stop to catch the last whisper of its echoes. The poor slave has heard it. and with bounding joy, tempered by the mystery of religion, he worships and adores. The waiting Continent has heard it, and already foresees the fulfilled prophecy, when sht will sit "redeemed, regenerated and disenthralled by the Genius of Universal Emancipation.

Female Smugglers Caught. A Washington dispatch states that a few days ago Miss Elizabeth Bidgood, sister of Mr. Bidgood, bookseller and stationer in Richmond, and Mrs. Frances Levy, started from Washington by stage to Richmond. Four large trunks, several carpet-bags, and a number of bundles, composed their baggage. Their journey was interrupted, however, by Col. L. C. Baker, near Port Tobacco, who arrested the twain and brought them and their bag

gage to town. An investigation of the

During the recent great storm

out West a woman in Chicago, whose husband was recently killed in the war, left her two boys, aged five and two years, in the house, to go and make some purchases, but got drunk. On returning, during the night, both children were found dead. On the floor lay the youngest child in a heap of snow; he was frozen stiff and was, of course, dead. The eldest boy lay on the bed ; he, too, was dead, but not quite cold. He had built a fire against a trunk which stood near, and a hole was burned in its side, another in the floor, and the bedclothes had been on fire. He had probably been asleep. The door having been left open, the room was filled with snow; and on awakening, perishing with cold, he found his brother dead. He then closed the door, lit a fire on the floor, and sank down benumbed with the cold.

Pork Packing is the West. The Cincinnati Price Current of the 6th inst. gives some interesting facts and figures in relation to pork packing in the West this season, it publishes the amount packed in a large number of towns in Ohio, Indiana' Illinois, and other Western States. According to the figures of the Price Current the whole number of hogs packed, np to the Oth inst., in the West, is 1.9S2,6o9 against 3,168.550 last year. The estimate amount for this year is 2,254,897. The deficiency will not fall far short, according to these figures, of 900,000 hogs. It is now clear that the hogs this season will be the lightest ever prepared before, and the yield of lard per hog far less than any season upon record- The deficiency so far is about 30 per cent, in the number and in weight about 10 per cent.

Great Excitement at the Rivbr. The Louisville Journal of Tuesday says : "Great excitement was caused yesterday morning by the breaking of the gorge at this point, which crowded the heavy eakes of ice to our shore, threatening to crush the steamboats and numerous barges loaded with their valuable freights. The tow-boat Gray Fox, which had been employed to stave off the ice and protect the coal-barges from danger in this emergency, was turned bottom side upward, and crushed to atoms. Her machinery sunk to the bottom of the river, and nothing but the shattered wreck protrudes from the field of ice, which threatens the destruction ol" every boat now lying at our levee. The boat was capsized so suddenly that the hands had to jump on the ice to save their lives, and one negro boy. we are told, made a very narrow escape. Several coal-barges were stove in, and a large force is now engaged on the pumps to keep them from sinking. The greatest apprehension is felt by our steamboatmen for the safety of their property at our landing, as the shore ice has not yet commenced to move, and when this takes place, it is generally believed that the tremendous force of this moving body will crush everything with which it may come in contact From what we can learn, the current tends toward our shore at the foot of Clay street, and, should the present weather continue, the river will rise in the course of a few days, in which case, we are told by 6teamboatmen, it will unavoidably involve the" loss of all the steamboats and barges at our levee. There is a vast amount of steamboat property here at this time, and upwards of twenty-five barges loaded with coal. Last evening the river was gorging opposite the foot of Clay street, and it was thought that it would close before morning. Nothing but cold weather will check a heavy rise in the river, but the prospects are anything but flattering, and, should the dreaded rise continue, we have every reason to believe the result will prove serious. Every precaution that will in tho least tend to arrest the destruction of property has been taken, but ropes and chains will be very

little service if the fearful apprehensions of our rivermen are realized. The Jeffersonville ferryboat, Isaao Bowman, is lying at the foot of Clay street, with a full head of steam on, and, we were informed by those on board, that she is capable of keeping off the ice in almost any event The Gray Fox, mentioned above, was owned by Messrs. Hyatt & Payne, of this city, by whom she was purchased a few days since for the sum of $15,000. We were unable to learn whether or not there was any insurance upon her. Rescue op oxe of Morgan's Mek. A notorious character of Morgan's command, named Dick Low, says the Louisville Journal, escaped from Camp Mortou about three months ago, and managed to get to Owen county, in this State, where his friends reside. The Deputy Marshal of Owen county, hearing of his arrival, immediately arrested him, and he was incarcerated in the county jail. His friends, it seems, banded together to the number of about fifteen or twenty and on the night of the 13th attacked the jail, overpowering the guard, and effecting the rescue of the prisoner. They carried him off- in defiance of the citizens amid the wildest shouts of triumph From what we learn, the Provost Marshal contemplated removing the prisoner to Frankfort, but was unable to do so on account of the small force at his disposal, and knowing that the friends of Dick Low could be concentrated on the shortest notice.
