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.

Thb Matos's Bcsibbss ob Chbistmas Dar» The Mayor opened his Court on Monday morning, mentioning at the time thai it wan not usual to hold a tribunal on this fsstire oc casion, but the large number of arrests ren dered it necessary. The foUowing cases warn beard: Fanny Taylor was charged with befog drunk and disorderly ia the poor-house.

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.

WEDNEEDAY...... ..DECEMBER 17, IW.V 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.

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 tion of Ihe most difficult problem before us can hardly lie questioned, and in the course of time it may be found that upon this basis many differences of opinion among those who ought to go together can be reconciled.—Cor rnpenitmt Mem York Tribune. 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.

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 York Tritmne. i Reports From Mexico.

gfrtorunut fflspateh. -WKDNEBDAY DECEMBER ST, 1S«. 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. C*Ai.iroßjfiA Gold.—ln the money article this morning will be found our usual annual table, showing the receipts of California gold nt this port during the present year. It will 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.
