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.

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.
