WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 27,1863.
Semmes, of the Alabama.
j We stated a few days since that Mr. Semmes
| had been arrested by tho United States author
) ities. The charge against him Is "violating
j tho usages of war" In that he hoisted the
white flag in the fight off Cherbourg, and after
! wards refused to surrender himself; and, also,
j In that he subsequently engaged in acts of war
against the United States.
I Mr. Semmes made a formal written protest
against his arrest, stating -that he was with,
and was a|part of. General Johnston's army
when the same was surrendered ; that he was
paroled to return to his home, nnd there re
main undisturbed by the United States author
ities until regularly exchanged ; and that this
arrest was a violation qt the engagement so
entered into on the part of the United States
Government." •
Virginia Medical College. <
In the year before the war, the Virginia
Medical College had about one hundred and
fifty students. Its prosperity had been gradu
ally, but steadily increasing. Under the au
spices of snch scientific and popular gen tie
men as composed its Faculty, It could not be j
otherwise. The patronage which had been so
liberally bestowed upon the schools of Phlla- j
delphia and New York was being diverted j
and applied to tho establishment of an insti- !
tution of our own, which embraced all the j
advantages of the Northern colleges, with I
facilities essential to Southern students which I
could not be obtained elsewhere. The war did \
not materiaUy diminish the number of stu- I
dents ; indeed, we believe it was as great du
ring the last two years of the war as at any
former period. The value of the College, In j
furnishing the Southern armies with a corps
of educated and skillful surgeons, cannot be
overrated.
The Medical College of Virginia has again ;
resumed its duties under a Faculty embracing i
gentlemen of great and varied abilities, and
who are devoting themselves with extraordl- !
nary energy to the re-establishment of the i
institution in the confidence of the public, and
in more than its ancient usefulness. It seems
to us, however, a great burthen, that the
Faculty of a college which is State property,
and the smallness of whose fees is utterly in
adeqnato to the compensation of their labors,
should be compelled to pay from their own
pockets for repairs to the buildings and
for insurance. By some unaccountable over
sight, the State has made no provision for
the preservation and protection of its own
property—an omission which should be
promptly rectified by tho present Legislature.
The medical profession has always been a
favorite profession in Virginia, and, perhaps,
in no other State are a body of physicians to
be found more distinguished by general Intelli
gence and classical attainment, in addition to
scientific nnd professional knowledge. The
confidence and respect entertained for them
by the people has been shown In many ways.
There is no atmosphere in which quackery
has less chance to live than Virginia. It is
the duty of the Legislature and the public to
sustain an institution which will preserve the
efficiency and dignity of the profession, and [
encourage a Southern college, which must, oT
necessity, have superior advantagea for the
treatment of Southern diseases over those of i
any other latitude. I
Tho English people and a portion of the
press continue to lie greatly exercised oyer the
alleged outrages of their soldiers and sailors j
in Jamaica. We can easily believe that thsy
slaughtered fifty black men for every white;
man that waa killed, for that ia the uniform j
British style of putting down rebellion. Who j
has forgotten the fate of the Sepoys I They !
were absolutely blown, from the mouth of
cannon—a device of vindlctiveness and cruelty
unheard of before in the revenges of the
world. In their hot haste to punish those
villains who had mutinied against such a
ble«sed government, they sometimes slaugh
tered friends as well as foes, just aa they lately
did in Jamaica. When the thirst for vengeance
is glutted, and the lionine appetite for blood is ;
perfectly appeased, It ia the uniform custom
of the British Hon to moralize, and reproach
himself for his excessive voracity and de
strtictlvenesß. To hear him at his penitential
exercises, after he has devoured aareral bar
barian tribes, one would think him the moat
pions and tender-hearted of brutes. He al
ways continues In thia remorseful and self
accusatory mood till soma new temptation
arouses his appetite, whereupon ha springs
from his recumbent position, and roam, and
rends his prey with redoubled ferocity, always
ending, however, aa aeon aa ha ceases to he
hungry, with the old whine of his sensitive
conscience. We are not at all surprised at the
uproar in England over the wholesale butche
ries in Jamaica, but it amonnta to. nothing.
Another rebellion could be put down wttfc the
same crushing aad sanguinary energy.
LOCAL MATTERS.
Tub Cnrßcirss on Christmas day looked ex
ceedingly pretty in their holiday robes of
bright green. One felt at once the solemn
joyousness of the day, when, leaving the sap
less bough and dead twig of the outer world,
he stepped Into the House of God and found
it smiling with all the greenery of Spring.
The work ef decoration was a work of love,
but much labor as well as taste had been ex
pended upon it; and for the past week the old
men and matrons, theyonng men and maidens,
had been bringing the fir tree, the pine tree, and
the box together, to beautify the Temple of the
Lord—for which latter you will, as Captain
Cuttle says, overhaul yoUr Isaiah.
Grace Vhnrch Wns festooned from end to end
with a double Una of cedar wreaths. Hoops of
the same hung between the windows and
along the galleries. Over the altar hung a star
ot holly and box.
r St. James was dressed with great taste. A
{heavy braid of green ran straight around the
galleries, intersected by the loops of two rows
of cedar festoons. A cross of bright green
hung over the pulpit. The lectern and pulpit
were neatly trimmed, and the font was a
pretty picture. Dr. Peterkin spoke from the
chancel from the text, " Th" people who sat in
darkness have seen a great light." An an
opening anthem, the choir sung, " Unto us a
child is born,'' nnd sang during the service a
new •' Te Devm."
At St. Mary's (German Catholic") there were
three masses at the honrs of five, half-past
seven and half-past ten. Father Meyer, the
sole pastor, in consequence of his arduous
duties, did not deliver any discourse. The
altar was beautifully dressed with green and
flowers, and lighted with gxeat brilliancy and
beauty. Vespers were chanted in the after
noon, and the benediction of the blessed sa
crament performed.
At the German Lutheran Canvas— St. John's —
the services were held by Dr. Schwar_, of
Baltimore. The sermon was upon the nativity.
At St. Peter's Oatkeiral services "were com
menced by a mass at five o'clock, which was
followed by others, continuously, until half
past ten o'clock, when tho Right Rev. John
McGill celebrated the Pontifical Sacrifice, the
Rev. Dr. Becker acting as deacon, and Rev.P .
J. O'Kief as sub-deacon. The church was
neatly dressed. The galleries and pillars wero
festooned and hung with wreathes. The altar
was arrayed with beautiful flowers, and bril
liantly lighted. On an evergreen arch in the
rear of the altar were written in golden let
ters, tl Gl»ria. in Eiceleis, Deo.'' Mercandante's
beautiful and brilliant mass, in B flat, was
sung wi'h great spirit by the choir. The
Adeste Fideles was sung as an offertorium—
Professor De Copniol presiding at the organ. i
Dr. Becker delivered an able discourse from
the gospel of the day, M In the beginning was
the word, and the word was with God, and the
word was God." The divinity of Christ was
demonstrated by tradition, oral and written, I
and by the prophecies of tho Old Testament, i
His humanity was manifested by the teachings j
of His Church, the sufferings He underwent, j
and the whole economy of the redemption.
Thns it was necessary that He should be both |
God and man, in two distinct natnres and one j
divine person, in order to nnite fallen human
nature to God ; in order to perform the func
tion of mediator—the Great High Priest or the I
Catholic Priest of the Eternal Father. He I
gives us an example of humility, obedience
and mortification. Innsfar ns we copy this
divino model we are His children. His Church
offers the means through the ordinary channels
of grace—tho Sacraments.
St. Paul't was hung with festoons and hoops
of green. There was a beautiful entangle
ment of green curves across the chancel pil
lars. A large white cross, covered with box
and holly—but not so closely as to entirely
conceal the white—stood beside the altar. The
font was dressed with braid, of green and
flowers. The lectern and pulpit wore dressed
with much taste.
Dr. Minnigerode spoke from the chancel, on
the theme of God's love in the redemption of
mankind. This is the central truth of Reve
lation, and the appearance of Christ in this
world as the Redeemer is the central fact in
the history of man. All that period of time
before Christ was but a grand evangelical pre
paration, for his coming ; nil that era since tho
history of the spread of Christianity, a work
to go on until the kingdoms of this world are
become the kingdoms of the "Lord. He pur
sued this analogy in calling the advent of
Christmas the central fact of each man's Rfc,
and closed by repeating the following beauti
ful hymn of Ray Palmer :
Take me. O, my Father, take, me—
That which Thou wouldst have me, make me;
Take me, save me, through Tbv son !
Let Thy will in me be done !
Long from Thee mv footsteps straying,
Thorny proved the way I trod—
Weary come I now, and praying,
Take me to Thy love, my God !
Fruitless years with grief recalling,
Humbly I confess my sin—
At Thy feet, O, Father, falling,
Take me to Thy household in.
Freely, now, to Thee I proffer
This relenting heart of mine ;
Freely life and soul I offer—
Gift unworthy lovo like Thine.
Once the world's Redeemer dying,
Bore onr sins upon the tree-
On that .Sacrifice relying,
A'ow I look in hope to Theo.
Father, take me—all forgiving,
Fold me to Thy loving breast,
In Thy love forever living,
1 must be forever blest.
The choir sang, as an opening anthem, " Ex
ulting Angels." Warren's new Te D«uin was
also sung.
The Monumental was a tabernacle of green.
From the centre of the dome hung a thick pen
dant of green, and from the bottom of this
hung, radiating, eight massive garlands of ce
dar to the galleries. The dome and galleries
were hung with double rows of loops. Dr.
Woodbridge preached from the text, "Unto
ns a child is born; unto us a son is given, and
the government shall be upon his shoulders,
and his name shall be called Wonderful, Coun- i
sellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Fa- !
thur, The Prince of Peace." The discourse
held that Christmas ought to be kept as a reli
gious festival, and not merely as a day of mer
ry meetings. He then gave an account of the
extreme antiquity of the celebration, tracing
it as far back as tho second century. The choir
sang, as an opening, "Thou Child Divine."
A new Te Deum was also sung. The music
was fine.
At St. Patrick's three masses wero celebrated
at the hours of five, seven and a half and ten
and a half. Tho chancel was dressed with ever
green and flowers, and hung with wreaths and
crosses of green. The pastor, Father An
drews, delivered a short discourse, adapted to
the occasion, giving the early history of the
Church, aiid the great blessings brought by it
into the world.
St. John's was most beautifully dressed. The
old and venerated church was arrayed with a
taste that speaks highly for the ladies of the
hill. The pillars, galleries and pulpit were
profusely hung with wreaths of green, and
underneath the choir gallery were arranged
the words, " Holiness become th thine house, O
"Lord, forever." Dr. Norwood delivered a dis
course from the text, " In this was manifested
the love of God towards us, because that God
cent his only begotten son into the world, that
we might live through him." The sormon was
an able one.
Cbbistuas at St. Jobkph's Obfhax AsTi.ru.
We called yesterday upon the good Sisters
who have this noble institution in charge to >
see their Christmas tree.
These good ladies, whose presence in our
hospitals during the war saved the lives of so
many of our heroes, have under their care
fifty-four orphans, and happier children did
not yesterday sing lays of praise to the In
fant Saviour. Though they have not the
fostering hand of a father to care for them,
nor the soothing tones of a mother's voice to
cheer them in sadness or aflliction, they seem
to be perfectly happy, so well do their kind
guardians fill tho places of those that are gone,
and so much do they devote themselves to the
welfare and enjoyment of their wards.
* It Is customary with the Sisters to have for
the orphans a Christmas tree. The one of
yesterday waa full of " Krlss Kringle's good
things," and there maa something there to
bring joy to the hearts of each of these mot her
less little ones.
RirHMosn Fbmalb HruAxa Association.—
We called last evening at the Orphan Asylum
of the above Association, aad found the little
orphans in the act of celebrating Christmas
by way of a feast. In conjunction with the
little boys from the Male Asylum, whom they
had invited to partake with them. It waa
truly a happy tight to eet t*«en children in
I thair pure enjoyment, their faces radiant wifh
I smiles of happiness, as they gathered arourfd
their plain but well-stocked board. They alio
had a pretty Christmas tree.
From the polite and kind matrons ef the
Male and the Female Asylums, and from a j
lady who is a prominent ©flicer in the Female ,
Humane Association, we learn that these IB
stltntlons are very much in need of funds, ne
cessary for their main tenance.
Richmond was never yet backward In her
charities, and her citizens need only to be
shown where their good works are needed.
Here, then, they bare an opportunity for {
charitable deeds.
Some of the sources of support have been
suddenly withdrawn, and these good ladles
are now ranch straitened to keep their noble I
work In operation. The Female Asylum has J
thirty orphans, and it is with much difficulty j
that they can be fed and clothed. They
have enegetic matrons tcrtake care of them,
who express a determination to persevere ju |
their efforts, although the funds of the Associ- |
ation are too low to pay their salaries. I
Let our citizens come forward nnd do all In
their power to relieve them from their em
barrassments. Let them remember, also, that I
some of these, orphans are the children of j
soldiers., who gave up their lives for Virginia,
And left their little ones to the charities of the
country for which they were sacrificed.
Contributions will be thankfully received j
by Mrs; Lipscomb, Directress of the Female
Asylum, and Mrs. Saunders, of the Male j
Asylum. i
Thb Festival at the Manchester Baptist I
Church last night, was a decided success, and
gave entire satisfaction to the large concourse [
of persons In attendance. The music was very {
good—the supper everything that the most
fastidious epicure could desire—and the ladies
as beautiful and attractive as the fair daugh
ters of Manchester always are. The ladies of
the sewing circle of the church deserve great
praise for the manner in which the festival was
gotten up, and we are pleased to know that
their labors have met With a satisfactory pe
cuniar)- reward, as weU as the grateful thanks
of all who were fortunate enough to be present
last evening. ' '
Cubists a* is RicHnoxn.—We do not re
member ever to i have spent as quiet a Christ
mas as tho one just passed. The city was in I
excellent order, and we are glad that we have I
not to record any serious results from the
usual plentiful flow of the " ardent." j
Dabtxo Robbebt.—Thestoreof J. M. Peers,
on Seventeenth street, was broken open Jast I
Monday night about 11 o'clock and robbed
of lour hundred dollars in United States Trea
sure notes nnd two hundred and fifty dollars'
worth of bacon, together with many other
articles. Mr. Peers has been in the habit of
sleeping at his store, for the protection of his
stock, but was spending the evening with
some relatives and friends at the time of the
pcriwtration of the theft, and returned just
in time to hear the burglars go off with their
plunder. He has been unable to obtain any
information that will lead to the arrest of the
scoundrels and the recovery of his goods and
money.
Robbebt at the Exoha.vue Hotel.—Mr.
Weith's room, at the Exchange, was entered
through the window on Monday night last and
robbed of about eleven hundred and seventy
nine dollars in money. Being mostly notes on
Southern banks, they were easily identified,
and yesterday a man named William Preston
Knuckles was nrrested while engaged in trying
to exchange them at a broker's office. The
thief, in leaving the room, passed out ns he
came in, and left the window hoisted after j
him. He will be examined before the Mayor
this morning. " j
SrDDBX 'Death.—Yesterday morning, the [
family of Jerry Toony, living on Seventeenth J
street, between Main and Franklin, were very
much surprised and grieved to find their pro- J
tector dead in his bed when they went to wake
him up. It seems that Jerry had been on a]
protracted spree, which produced congestion of I
the brain and death in a short while after he
retired for the night. Coroner Little was sent
for, but, after ascertaining t he-facts of the case, j
concluded the holding of an inquest over the j
body unnecessary.
Smash-Up.—Last Monday night, as aback
was standing in front of the old Marshall
House, on Broad street, near the Richmond
Theatre, a pack of fire-crackers was thrown
among tho horses' feet, which so terrified
them that they started off, breaking the hack
to pieces. The horses proceeded as far as
Governor street with the front wheels, when
they were stopped. Fortunately, there was I
nobody in the carriage at the time, and " no- j
body was hurt." _
Bbatixo a Womab.—James Elmore was ar
raigned before the Mayor yesterday for being
drunk, disorderly, resisting arrest, and beat
ing Mrs. Delia McCarthy. Mrs. Frances McGee
and a policeman testified to the facts, which
proved great cruelty on the part of Elmore:
and Mrs. McGee also stated that she " wanted
that Elmore and her sister. Mrs. McCarthy,
should be separated.'' The Mayor said he had
no authority to separate man and wife, and re- ;
quired security in the sum of five hundred
dollars to keep the peace for twelve months.
Attempt at Rbsccb.—Joseph Keininghara,
Jr., was charged with attempting to rescue a
prisoner. PoUceman George Hicks testified I
that he was attempting to arrest a prisoner j
on Christmas day, when the prisoner rushed |
out and assaulted him and attempted to res- j
cue the prisoner. He was very drunk at the
time. Captain Jenkins and J. L. C. Danner,
Esq., testified to the same facts. Having been |
proved to have exhibited a weapon, he was
held to bail in the sum of three hundred dol-,
lars to keep the peace.
Attemptixo to Kick Dowb a Dooa.—B. F.
Darby, 'a soldier, conceiving himself to be
grossly imposed upon, proceeded to the house
ofß. B. Montgomery, and committed an as
sault on him, winding up with a vigorous de
monstration on his front door, which he at
tempted to kick in. While engaged in this con
duct a city policeman came along aud took him
into custody.
Bbfabixo a Wateb Pipb.—William Lang
ford, a resident of that interesting place
known as the United States Hotel, was
charged before the Mayor yesterday with
cutting a water pipe. Several witnesses testl- ,
fled that he was a very bad boy, and was con
stantly making a fuss up stairs. He was dis
charged with an admonition.
Uxpbovoked Ashati.t.—John J. Carr was
before the Mayor yesterday, charged with I
beating R. N. Roberta. Roberts testified that
he was going up ths street from Grace to
Broad, when he was met by Carr and as- {
saulted without cause. The Mayor sent him !
on to the Hustings Court for examination,
and required security in the sum of Aye
hundred dollars for his appearance.
Charoe or Attsupti-o to Rob.—Thomas'
Fowlkes was before the Mayor yesterday,
charged with attempting to rob Charles An
derson. Officers testified that Fowlkes was
seen in company with a "Yankee," who
rushed across the street and committed the as
sault. There being no testimony against
Fowlkes, he waadischarged.
Max-Trap—We would call the attention of
the owners of the lot next to Spenee's, on the
corner of Thirteenth and Main streets, to the
bad condition of the sidewalk in their front.
The plank which affords a way for passers-by
are fast giving away, aad one of them baa!
been taken out, leaving a hole for night
walkers to break their necks in.
Maoahb Rrm..—This well-known singer
gives a concert on Friday night at the New
ichmond Theatre. She will be supported by i
an orchestra conducted by Mr. Rosenberg and
other professional and amateur talent. It'
wiU doubtless be a fine affair. The advertise-1
ment will be found in another column. j
Tb asp ass— Jeff. Childress, a boy, waa before
ths Mayor on Monday, charged with trespass.
He waa held to bail in the earn of twohundred

j Tub Cosmopolite.—We give in another
column the table of contents of the January
number of this new monthly. It will be seen
! that it offers a tempting list of articles. It
I will doubtless have a large circulation in the
South ; and it is well that It is so, for* nearly
, all tho periodicals published now are raOieal,
of the strongest type. The terms are also
given there, and it shows that this magaaino
can be had as cheap as any other. Southern.
families ought to take it.
FopsTn Appbababce.—J. B. Vaughn, the
short man with grey hair and black mous
tache, was up before the Mayor yesterday, for
being drunk, for the fourth time. He waa held
to bail in the sum of two hundred dollars to
keep the peace, which he was unable to give.
Br bo last .—On Chistmas night the stable of
William G. Webb was broken into and all ths
harness and provender stolen. Strange to say,
the thieves left two mules and one horse, that
were in the stable, undisturbed, and left the
j sacks on the floor, after emptying the corn.
A Chbistxas Frolic- Alfred Baker, a
young man with one eye, was charged with
making an assault upon a policeman. Baker
said he was drunk and hit the policeman, but
did not hurt him. He thought it no crime to

The Dispatch—lta Success.
In days by-gone the Dispatch had a horn
which hung upon a nail in the editorial room.
' nnd which was occasionally taken down and
loudly blown to the world. "When well wind
ed, Its tone was clear and distinct, quite agree
able to the blower and to those who heard it.
80 well did he love the Dispatch, that the tone*
of the horn were sweet to his ears ; nnd to the
public, which had an equal affection for the
little pet, they were like felicitous music '
Now, this horn* and a Worcester's dictionary
were all that was saved from the conflagration
of the 3d of April; and we propose to give n
gentle blast upon a much-esteemed instrument, j
which has been so long silent. Thus:
Ho! all men—friends and readers, here and
everywhere!—the Dispatch,once the general |
favorite, whose name rang in every valley, and
was re-echoed from every hill in the land, is ra- '
pldly retrieving its old place. Its long rest has :
but given it added energy, and it begins itsca- '
reer anew with the activity and enthusiasm of |
a boy! Its style and character exclude it from j
no fire-side, and its cheerfulness and iutelli- i
gence invite it to all. To all it must go. Tin
want of mails and post-offices in some districts j
of the South checks its spreadiug circulation, j
and will do so for a time ; but they will soon be \
supplied by the Government, and the paper
will then be found, as it is now in the city, j
everywhere.
The Dispatch wns the Genbb.ii. ADVEBTisr.n.
as it was the Gkxebal NswspAPEa/or tlte pee
pie. The past two weeks puts it entirely out
of the woods .as to circulation. It is already
the general newspaper, and of course it must
follow that it shall.be the general advertising
medium. Formerly it went everywhere—its
circulation iv one day was greater than all the
daily newspapers in Virginia put together.
To that point it is to come again. Present indi
cations plainly shbw it. As we labor for the
public good as much as for our own—knowing
that our prosperity is in the ratio of the service
we render the community—we regard the rapid
prosperity of the PMjpaAA with a sort of pa
triotic satisfaction ! Come, then, old and new
friends, readers and advertisers ! Let's meet j
on this platform—on this ground, and help on
tho Disjxttcfi and ourselves! The day is very
near when men will derive pleasure from con.
sideriug themselves among its earliest sup
porters.
With this gentle winding of our horn, J
we return it to its accustomed place, and bid ]
the reader—good morning I
Work Ahead.
The new year is approaching, when men
must wind up, as well as they can, the past,
and open their books for the coming year.
Commercially and agricultural!}', there are j
matters for the gravest consideration. The j
work that is ahead will admit of no child's j
play—no temporizing in Ihe hope of post- !
poning responsibility—of delaying an cxi- j
gency. Commercially, there will be a crisis j
within the year which all ought to prepare-to
meet in the best manner. Economy is the j
sevenfold shield that will protect a community i
best from a financial revulsion. It should be
practiced by all. Merehan to sheas Id not ven
ture too far ; their bills payable should be re
duced in number and amount as much as pos
sible, and there kept until the storm is past
and we can see more clearly into the future.
Housekeepers and heads of families should
• cut down their establishments to a moderate
standard, and diminish their outgoings, at
least, so that they should not exceed their in
comings. By practising this system of econo
my wherever it can be appUed, the commu
nity will be iniinitely better off. No spirit of
speculation and wild adventure, with a bold
reliance upon chances, while so dark a future
is immediately at hand, should tempt men to
incur very heavy responsibilities just now.
Caution and prudence are now our best friends.
A little patience for a few months will enable
us to come to better and safer conclusions, and
to take new measures and adopt new policies,
with better lights ahead to guide us safely on.
Agriculture, upon which rests the commerce
of the land,, has to undergo radical changes.
There must be entirely new systems adopted.
The new mode of hiring labor—and that free
labor—forces upon the farmer this change as a
necessity. There are some advantages in hired
labor. You are not responsible for it when
disabled by sickness or the infirmities of age; j
nnd you may dispense with it at times when it
is not needed. It buys its own clothing, feeds
itself, and pays its own doctor's bills. When J
the service of this kind of labor is rendered
and paid for, there is an end of it. You know
what it has cost; you know what you have
made. You are involuntarily led into a system
of calculation, and forced to that balancing of
accounts which not only shows you how you
stand, but compete you to settle up. This is
one advantage over slavery, and will make the
farmer a better business man than formerly.
He will be driven to a more close and compact
ed system of cultivation. He wiU diminish
his area of tillable soil, and apply his hired
labor under his own eye to better advantage.
His spare land he will soon sell off; that which
he retains, by prudent tillage, with a reduction
of useless animals, which have heretofore con
sumed so much and yielded so little, will en
able him at the end of the year to have more
ready cash than he has been accustomed at
such a time to call his own. j
These matters will give the farmer a great
deal to do. He ought to consider them well
and'proceed intelligently with his operations.
He has yet to see whether the freedman will ,
work—will perform his contract. But there
can be no satisfactory settlement of that ques- j
tion unless the farmer prepares his plan of ,
operations nnd arranges the whole system of |
his farm in a manner to institute a proper and
efficient superintendence and accountability.
The old slipshod mode wiU not answer at all.
Slaves did not do half work under the old sys
tem, and it wiU be expecting too much of
.reedmen to hope that they will do any better
than slaves under the same system. The
freedman must have a fair trial under a good
system, and then, if be does not answer, we
can try some one else. But there is no alter
native now but to give him a proper trial. He
Is, we believe, still kindly disposed, and if be
is kept clear of the demoralizing influence of I
the vicious and idle who crowd the cities, we i
by no means despair of him. The pinching :
demands of the present winter wiU have a j
beneficial effect upon his disposition, and we j
may find that his life may be and j
. his labor directed so that he may beoouie use
ful and independent; i. «., a good laborer that !
takes care of himself and his family. Nothing
short of this, we ail know, will answer If
he cannot do this he must go. This, too, if he
does not know now, he wUI in due time learn
These matters contain enough to occupy the
attention of our people. Everything depends
npon the manner in which they are treated.
Every man who, hy his forecasts and energy, so
fashions and arranges bjs own affairs as to se
cure success and avoid disaster, win promote
the general welfare, both by what he saves or
naakes, and hy his excellent example to others.
The Christmas festival has passed off with
the usual religious and social observances in
t»e city and country. There is no part of the
United States where these holidays are held
«»ea universal esteenf as among ourselves.
T9*f are priucipaUy observed* in other sectiens
\*L2Z °* ***** roU « to,w denominattons;|
though we are glad to notice that, of late |
rears,' f_e dteposition to make Chrtetnaaa the
taueoM of th» Testffals hut become more |
geneSt Jtt Tirginta, this disposition has
neverJiqnti-euVuny c«Ri*»"**» Th « celebra
tion of Christmas te a traditional custom•
handed down from the settlement of James
town, descending from father to son In every
homestead, and embracing men of every re
ligious faith. It is generally kept up in some
«ort till the commencement of the new year,
when the influence of egg-nogg begins to
ibate, and turkeys—happily for the commu
nity—come down. Let ns hope that its moral
effect, ita hope, Its happiness, and charity,
will prove, like its evergreens, more lasthig.
The Split
If there had existed any donbt in the mind j
of any reasonable man with regard to the truth
of the alleged split in the Radical party pre- j
vious to the- adjournment for Christmas, the j
long holiday which the members of that party |
have given themselves would havo dispelled
it. Congress adjourned on the 21st day of De- j
ceinber, to moot again on the flth of January, j
■illowlng the members time, not only to reach (
their homes, but to see, consult, and stimulate
fo the desired pohy.their constituents through- |
out the entire North. That such is the object
there cannot be a donbt; that there would be j
any necessity for so long an absence from their
duties, and so much political maneuvering as
it implies, unless a catastrophe wero immi
nent, no one will believe. The crack in the
body which, at the opening of the session, pre
sented a surface as smooth, as clear, as cold
and as hard as the ice of the Northern ponds,
became perceptible before the adjournment; !
and ns it is beyond the power of man to re- j
unite the fragments of ice when once cracked j
through and through, so we take it, not all the
politicians will be able to put together again
the parts of rhis huge party when they shall
have been rent completely asunder.
The Radical party of the United States car- ,
ries within itself the seeds of a speedy disso
lution. It may live long enough to do much i
mischief,but the period of its duration must na- j
turally.be short. No party which comes Into
power upon a single idea can long retain its ;
ascendancy. Kb dasfi'u rfiyt party can fong Coi -
tinue to exist. The so-called Republican party
is both a one-ideaed and a destructive party
Its one idea is the negro; its general policy is
the overthrow of the Constitution: not by ;
revolution, open and with arms, but by legis- J
4ation. Mr. Stevens, who is the leader of that
party in the House, is bold and impetuous i
enough, but, altogether, wants discretion. He
has avowed his object too soon aud too openly.
The majority, even of tho Northern people
have a respect for the Constitution. They wil
not consent to alter it so entirely that the very
men who made it would not know it again, in
order that Mr. Stevbns and his party may be
enabled to keep the Democratic party out of
office. This is what he proposes as the object
of all the legislation which he has introduced
Even were the legislation of itself beneficial
the people would not give it their sanction
when they understood the motive. The end of
all legislation should be the benefit of the
country. Any end of less importance will not
justify any system of legislation. Mr. Steven*
proposes to make the reign of his party per
petual; and for this purpose he makes use of
the power temporarily placed in his hands
Legislation for the purpose of securing power
to the party passing the laws never has been ,
successful in this country, and never will be.
In order to secure the object—the continu- ,
ance of the power and plunder in their
own hands—these men do not hesitate to tear j
down any portion of the Constitution when it
happens to come in their way. They resemble '
an engiueer who should tear down half tho
houses in Bond street in order to
have a straight track for his railway. The j
monopoly of the Camden and Amboy railroad
is annoying to some of the members. The re-
Bendy at once presents itself. Take away from ]
the States the power of regulating the railways
Within their limits, and give to the General j
Government the power of regulating the same.
The Constitution says all powers not expressly
granted byphe States are withheld. This power
certainly is not granted; but what of that.
Congress, like the British Parliament, is om
nipotent, and can do what it pleases. The
Constitution gives to the States the power to
regulate the suffrage question, each within its
own limits. Never mind ; that clause is in the
way of certain designs; puU it down. The
Constitution decides what disqualifies a man
from being a member of either House. Certain
members—none of them laboring under any of
these disqualifications—present themselves, re
lying on the Constitution. What of that'
Constitutions were not made lor members of
Congress. An Indian will shoot, a fine horse to
get the bell from his neck. These men will de
stroy, without hesitation, the finest work of
the Constitution to obtain a party advantage.
We repeat it, that sort of legislation does not
suit tho people of the country, and the party
pursuing it must, sooner or later, come to an i
enforced \
Profits of Market Gardens.
The disposition, common in the South, to
undervalue worn-out lands, may be rectified
by Inking a lesson from the gardeners in the
i country surrounding Norfolk and Petersburg.
j The soil which had been apparently exhausted
jby a repetition of the same crops, and which
! yielded tobacco at ten or fifteen dollars a hun
dred pounds, or wheat at ninety cents a
bushel, now cultivated for vegetable purposes,
gives a clear profit of one hundred and live
, dollars per acre. There are examples of even
! a greater return—one section of only twenty
one acres yielding in gross $6,000, netting
; *3,500, or *17'» per acre. Another of twenty
five acres, *7,;*J00 net, over *4,000, or *120 per
acre.
There is a vast amount of land in oar State,
now regarded as worthless, which, by the reno
vating processes of scientific agriculture, and,
above all, by personal energy and attention,
can be rendered highly valuable. In this and
the adjoining counties, with their great water
facilities for transportation to the Northern
markets, the employment of land for garden
ing purposes would prove highly remunerative.
Where farms lie contiguous to, or within a
short distance of, navigable streams, no crops
that can be raised will pay as well as vegeta
bles. We see in the experience of the Norfolk
and Petersburg neighborhoods what can be
done with even worn-out lands. Their pro
ductions command a ready solo in the North
ern markets, being equal in quaUty to any that
can be raised elsewhere, and having the ad
vantage over gardens farther north of an
earlier Spring, and of those farther south of
greater nearness to the markets, being within
a day's aail of the principal Northern cities.
House Servants.
The pleasures of the Christmas times in
former days were subject, in our cities, to a
serious drawback in the annual hirings of
house servants by the majority of house
holders, who were often deprived of domestic
service at a time when it was most needed,
and were eompeUed to trudge, day after day,
through mud or snow to the hiring offices, in
queatof servants for the ensuing year. Ws
are now subject to a discomfort of even more
frequent occurrence, but which is a prevalent
matter of complaint in other countries, as
weUaaenr own—the disposition of servants
to change their places every month and
sometimes in less than that time. 'Eng
land, where domestics often grow grey in the
service of the same family, is the only coun
try, that we are aware of, which does not
suffer from this capriciousness of domestics j
We are glad to learn that the officers of the j
presa upon the minds of the fee-men
portance, botn to their rmpst>y< , **»» ** d *__**
selves, of rnaklng ©ontraeta by th* ****»
and of faithfully abiding a# "»1»«?ir *••
tracts. This is good advice, not only to * , * d
laborers, but to house servants. Wnilst tbey
have the perfect right to change their places
as often as their fancy dictates, it is undenia
ble that, to employ that right when it is not
demanded by an improvement of their con
dition, is not only to entail great ineonve
uienco upon their employers," but to injure
their own interests, and to diminish the in
creased value which their labor would com
mand from that reputation for stability and
reliability which isgiiinod by long and faithful
service in one household. Their minds ought
to be disabused of the absurd idea that there
is no realization of their freedom while they
remain in the service of the same persons.
We have alreadyTeferred to the fact that, in
i England, household servants often continue
ha the sam<« family from youth to old age, and
it would amuse them to be told that, by so
doing, they forfeited any of the liberties of a.
free-born Briton. Yet this ridiculous notion
is causing sudden and frequent changes in our
domestic service—an evil that, we hope, is
only temporary, and which all real well-wlnlx
ersof thischissof our population will endun
vor to remove. The former masters are ttuß
best friends that are to be found of the colored
race,and would much prefer them as house
hold servants to any other people. But the
continuance of the habit of changing from
house to house, every month, begets a constant
uncertainty and apprehension which can on ly
end in dispensing with the services of those
they would like to retain, and procuring do
mestics from whom something more stable can
bo expected.

NBW MOVE OF THE FRIENDS OF XECiKO 6CFI"RAUE.
T'pon the petition of Lewis Clephane, collec
rof internal revenue ; Z. C. llobbins. regis
ter of wills: and a third one, named J. B.
Crossman, Chief Justice Cartter has issued an
order, answerable on the 2d proximo, upon the
mayor, the two boards of council, and the city
register, to show oause why an •injunction
should not be granted restraining them, or
either ortheitt, from paying from the corpora
lion fund any expenses "incurred in conducting
the recent election to obtain the sense of the
voting papulation of the city upon the ques
tion of negro suffrage, and also from paying
from said fund the cost of printing five hun
dred copies of the speech of Mr. I.loyd, Presi- j
dent ol" the Hoard of Aldermen, in opposition
to equal suffrage. It is difficult to conceive
whether this novel idea, originating with
those holding local federal appointments here,
is the ebulition of partisan spleen, or the evi
dences merely of a purpose, in connection with j
the postmaster, to give a broad intimation to
the President that his views of suffrage and j
the white man's present superiority over igno
rant "freedmen" do not suit their high j
mightinesses. [The names of the officers are
published with the evident paepaae of calling
the President's attention to their officiousness.]
ma i.awykks' rasT oath.
There is a great deal of curiosity entertained i
as to the probable decision of the Supreme
Court in the case of Mr. A. H. Garland, of
Arkansas, who declines to take the test oath.
The argument against the constitutionality ol
the Congressional test oath has been delivered,
and it is rumored about that the court will de
cide against it. Mr. Chase is decieedly in fa-
For of exacting it, but thereat of the judges
0 not, it is said, agree with him. f
CO.VSTITfTIOXAI. AMENDMENTS.
Thirteen different propositions are now
pending before the House Committee on the j
Jiid'<i;iry to amend the Constitution of the
United .States, one of which, introduced by
Mr. Schenck, to apportion representatives
among the several States according to the
number of actual voters, has been agreed on,
and will probably be brought before the House
next month. This is another scheme of the
Radicals to perpetuate their power over the
•South; but inasmuch as it requires the sanc
tion of three-fourths ol the States, it will
hardly be as successful as the anti-slavery
amendment, which only became a part of the
fundamental law of the land by the action of
some of the late rebellious States.
disabled sen annas.
An order will be lashed by General Grant in
a day or two, directing that disabled soldiers,
capable of doing duty as watchmen of public
buildings and other like services, shall have
preference in such employment over able-bo
died men in the army. The object of this or
der is to prevent the discharge and mnstcring
out of disabled soldiers,"hs far as may be, by
making room for them in positions where they
can perform service as well as able-bodied men.
FEESIDEXT JOHNSON IX FAVOR OF REPRESEXTA
TIOX BASED ri'OX VOTERS.
I can state, upon good authority, that, the
President is in favor of the amendment to the
Constitution making the number of voter? the
basis of representation. Whatever may be
thought of the theory upon which this amend
ment rests, its practical effect upon the solu

THE NEW BANKRUPT 811.T..
This bill, which, in all its provisions, is simi
lar to that of the last session, has been intro
duced, read a second time, and referred to the
Select Committee. The suggestions made by
Edwin James have been adopted by the com
mittee, and little doubt is entertained but that
it will become Law this session. It provides a
system of voluntary and compulsory bank
,,. .ptcy, and is clear and simple in its details,
relieving the honest and punishing the fraudu
lent debtor.

Among the on dits in political circles there is .

It is reported to-day that a certain officer of
the army, recently in Paris, took over toonr
Minister there a verbal assnranee from our
Government, to be communicated to the
French Government, to the effect that if Max- j
iniilian maintained himself on the throne for
six months longer, and if during that period
his Government should bo continued to be ad
ministered with the same apparent stability
that has marked it during the hist six months,
and if during that, period the Liberals in Mex
ico did not succeed in dethroning Maximilian
nnd in reinstating the Republic, that then the
United States would recognize the "Empire as
the government de facto.
"This report, I am led to believe, has a
foundation iv fact. Hut my information leads ,
me to believe that the communication was not |
intrusted to the officer alluded to, but went
through the regular diplomatic channels, and
was in writing, and that the time was not so

RADICALS Kof IX A 8008 BXMOR WITH THE
PRESIOKXT.
As to the state of public feeling at the time of
the adjournment, it would be idle to deny that
1 the President's haste in relieving the Pro
j visional Governors while Congress was in sos
i sion, and engaged in the discussion of measures
bearing upon that subject, elicited very unfa-
I vorable comments even from many of those
who are not inclined to find fault with the
President except in extreme oases. It isaskesl,
certainly not without pertinence, what has
occurred to induce the President, after having
but a short time ago ordered the Provisional
Governors to hold on, Suddenly to order the
aaane Provisional Governors to surrender the
governments of their States, all this without
taking the sense of Congress upon the matter, j
Being taken as a want of consideration for
the legislative branch of the government,
this measure could not be calculated to j
foster that good feeling which promised
so grow up between the President and i
Congress, especially as it, is looked upon |
by many as an uncalled-for breach of the tacit
understanding, which was generally presumed
to exist, that the Executive would permit
things to remain in statu quo until Congress
had spoken its mind. The impression is gain
ing ground that the President, while pro
fessing great anxiety to avoid a conflict with
Congress, is endeavoring to push forward the
execution of his own plan, regardless of the
will of tho National legislature. Such a
course would naturally lead to sharp differ
ences, and arouse the temper even of those
who so far have been studiously cultivating
harmony and good feeling.— Correspondent yew

by a gentleman fully conversant with the sub

tion assumed by the Tobacco Convention

of leaf tobacco would be injurious alike to
Government, the planter and the maufac
tnrer.
This is a matter of deep interest to the peo

Aiasaanni af Re veray Johnson en the Test On«h.
— In the United States Supreme Court, to-day.
pending! the case esparto A. H. Garland, bf
Arkansas, aaking to he-allowed to practice a*
ncouneellor, Hon. Reverdy Johnson delivered
thS following argument against the enitstltu
** tionality of the Congressional test oath :
«* There being no antecedent f____t__°
•nr own, it is necessary to look >»»*,_ > __|
ntttution Itself to see what P<^**% w _„ __?_
nnlly conferred upon Congress. These wnng
Atated. Congress is authorised to |*ass all ne
cessary >_vdproper law. to can a them into
•Set: The*!Tpowers are to be so construed ns
to effect the object they are dcs gned to ac
sjonrplteh. It Is the doty ef the Courtto a*
certain this, and then determine whether the
legislation will defeat or secure the end. A
restriction to the class of powers is that Con
sressfthsll pass no erpost facto law or bill of
attainder. The meaning of this is well un
derstood to be any law which makes an act a
crime which was not a crime when % the act
was committed. But the law of 1 >»'."> does pun - i
ish In point of fact, because it precludes the
petitioner from the exercise of a lawful occu-
Eation, and strikes at a profession in which
ia holies and ambition, and support of hiin
•elf and family, are involved. The punishment
ia severe, cruel, and unexampled. It subjects
him to all the obligations of the Constitution
•while it takes from him all its advantages.
The original act of 1863 was not made appli
cable to attorneys in the courts of the United
.States. Three years wero suffered to elapse,
when some one In Congress, who may have
been peculiarly sensitive, and who saw danger
in every man who had taken part in the re
bellion, introduced a biU applying the pro
visions of the law to practicing attorneys.
The biU was submitted to the Judiciary Com
mittee of the Senate, and by an unanimous
vote was rejected. It afterward, however, re
ceived the sanction of the Senate. It was
passed for the purpose of excluding the pe
litioiiemnd all others similarly situated—to
pnnishbv excluding them from the United
States courts. It was not for conduct subse
quent, but antecedent to the passage of the.
statute. This act comes within the clear
meaning of the clause in the Constitution
that Congress shall pass no erpitst facto law
or bill of attainder. No rights can be taken
• away by law uuless the accused shall be first
convicted of the offence charged; and these
rights include the holding of office of emolu
ment and trust. Snch laws as that of lS6.*i
penal statutes. The Attorney-General
had argued last Friday that the admission to
practice in the courts is not a natural sight,
but is created by law, and therefore may be
regulated by law, and either given or taken
away. But it is not true that Congress
can by law prohibit the appearance of coun
sellors In the courts of the United States.
The Cons titnt ion provides that part ies charged
with crime shall have the benefit of counsel, j
and therefore Congress has no jurisdiction
over that subject. It is true that every court
la vested by the common law with power to j
make regulations to exclude improper officers; j
but Congress has no right to say who shall or j
who shall not appear ns counsel. Theobliga-i
tion which is imposed on Congress to create j
courts carries with it an obligation on the part ;
of the courts to admit counsel. The safety of j
the citizen depends on the existence of the pro-
Vision for the admission of counsel. The pre
servation of liberty demands, as illustrated by
the history of the world, that there should be '
Such a body of men. In all the revolutionary j
ntrnggles and despotisms which have dis
graced the world, the accused have been denied j
counsel. Congress would convert itself into a
tyranny if, while establishing courts, it should
exclude such a class of men. The act of Con
gress under review compels a man to swear
against himself, while no power is given to the
court to inquire into the facts. No man, by the
Constitution, is compelled to testify against
himself. The petitioner, with others, was in
volved in the effort to establish their separate
independence of the authority of the United
States, and resisted it by levying war. The
punishment for treason anterior to the passage
of the act of 1865 was death or imprisonment;
hut this act imposes an additional penalty,
that persons thus accused shall not be
admitted as attorneys in the United
States courts. Congress, in lb«2, passed
a law saying, whenever the President
deemed it proper he might declare a gen
eral amnesty, while the Constitution confers
upon him the exclusive power of granting
pardons and reprieves. The pardon places the
recipient of it in the position in which he
stood beforo the commission of the crime, j
makes him a new man, and divests him of all
antecedent consequences. Suppose this law of
1865 had been made a part of the act for the
punishment of treason, and the man commit
ting the crime had been pardoned, would it i
not also have exempted him from the punish
ment for the offence, and prevented him from
"being excluded from practicing as an attorney
in the United States courts ? The pardon
covers every part of the offence, and Congress
cannot, after the pardon has been granted, paes
a law to punish for the offence pardoned. The I
disgraceful fact is presented to the world that j
Congress undertakes to interfere by denying
the power of pardon, as conferred by the Con
stitution exclusively on the President without
limit. Congress cannot say to the petitioner,
you shall be tried for treason after having been
pardoned. If this was true of one class of
crimes, it was true of all others."
Mr. Johnson quoted from v arlons judicial
opinions to fortify the points of argument by
him presented.
In conclusion, Mr. Johnson spoke as follows,
whilst the most impressive silence was pre
served:
" Will the Court indulge me with a word or
two more? Every right-minded man—every
man who has within bis bosom a heart capable
of hnman sympathy—who is not dead to aU the
kinder and nobler feelings of our nature—who
is not the slave to his own dishonor —of low,
degraded passions, of hatred to his countrymen,
or of political partisanship, solely bent-on Its
own wretched triumph—reckless of the nation's
welfare, but must wish, but must make It the
subject of his daily thoughts and of hie prayers
to God, that the hour may come, and come at
once, when all the States shall be again within
the protecting embrace and shelter of the
"Union, enjoying alike its benefits, (and greater
were never vouchsafed to man,) contented and
happy and prosperous, sharing in its duties,
devoted to its principles, and participating in
Its renown."
The Court holds the matter under r lvise
ment, and has adjourned until Tuesday next.

he seen that the aggregate is largely in excess
of the two previous years. It appears that the
total amount of treasure brought by sea
from the auriferous regions of the Pacific '
elope during the last twelve years is upwards
of three hundred and seventy-seven millions;
but it must be remembered that these figures
only represent the freight list of the steamers,
nnd do not include the sums brought privately
by passengers on their own and friends' ac
counts, which, with the overland shipments
from the new territories, would probably
swell the total to more than five hundred mil
lions. Since 1R54 our aggregate exports of
specie have amounted, in round numbers, to
four hundred and forty millions, or nearly four
times as much as has come back to us from
foreign countries. At the worst, however, we
are now about two hundred millions better off
