Mr.. Chase has, for years, been the recogniz'
ed exponent of the Anti Slavery sentiment
which hes animated the Democratic wing Of
the Republican party. Bis mama has, in
many political circles, been the synonym for
all that is dangerous" 'radicsp and truly
Democratic; and even now, though the Sec
retary of the Treasury has displayed the judg-
ment, skill and resources which mark him as
a great innncier, we find among US old oppo'
nents-the men who have been accustomed
to mutter q prayer Of exorcism when using
his name-an indispOsition to award that
praise which his consumate ability demands
But the old political virus il eXhRusting itself
and where men are manly and honest
enough to speak out, VIC hear congratulations
over the fact, that 10 this hour of peril and Of
distress, there is ct the head Of the Treasury
Department man, who, TO mental resources
which challenge admiration, unites that per-
seVeFing industry and that undoubted homes y
which makes his intellectual gifts 80 valuable
! to the country be serves. And those who keep
silent when querulOusness and complaint are
to much the rule, confess thereby that in one
Department and that of oYershadoWing i'm
portance, there Is no cause Of dissatisfaction.
While captiousness and impatience have
Quarrelled with Mr.. Lincoln, and distrust
has sssailed Seward, and cslumny pursued
Blair, not a word, so far as we know, has
challenged Mr.. OhRse's fitness for his place,
nor questioned the perfect integrity and the
signal ability with which his duties have
been discharged. The country is lucky in
the possession Of public servant upon whom
all men may rely Chicago TTibuas.

A Big Job Laid Out.

The Philsdelphis North American thus
lays out work for the approaching session Of
Congress. If the programme is carried out
fully, there will be more lively times in the
next year than were ever before dreamed of
in this country.
l. The establishment ofa vast and COM
prehensive revenue system capable of yield
ing permanent income equal to our present
outlay.
2. The creation ofa navy equal in strength
to any in the world, if not superior.
3 The sending of one hundred thousand
troops to Mexico to take care of the interests
Of republican liberty in this country.
4. The passage of an effective bill by Con-
gress to provide for the construction of the
Pacific Railroad.
By the first we should render our credit
impregnsble, and enable our government to
act boldly on all occasions; by the second the
nation would at once grasp the empire of the
seas; by the third we should settle forever
all fears of European Intervention against us,
and become forthwith indisputably dominant
in the new world; aid by the fourth the mil
itary strength and cohesion Of the empire
would be redonbled and the settlement of the
interior secured forthwith. Prodigious as
these measures may seem, they are yet with
IN our power to effect, if Congress and the
Government but act together and vigorous
ly.-The history Of the past ten years fully
proves this.

The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Times says that the Message Of JEFF.
DAvis meets with universal execration among
members Of the Administration for its auda-
cious fslsehoods. 1t lie regarded as q weak
aad hopeless effort to face down the indispen-
sable doom Of rebellion. The total silence
&c TO the Union demonstrations in East Ten
nessee is ominouG The comments Of Davis
upon the invasion Of Beaufort are understood
BY the Administration to signify the adoption
by the Confederate Government Of the black
flag proposition Of South Carolins. This
war will, upon that instant become war Of
determination; and upon the first act of out
rage upon prisoners under the black flag, e
million men Of the North will be put in the
field TO carry FIRE and sword to the Gulf
Davis knows this, and it is thonght that be
ing desperate, be wishes to plunge his whole
people into ruin rather than have them sur
vive the failure Of his madness, to execrate
his memory. The promulgation Of Davis
sinister threats win lead to some modiaca,
ton of the Presidents Message, providing fol
the contingency contemplated in the rebe
Presidents ''brutal and bloody manifesto"

Flahtinr az Pensacsla.

The ball has opened at Pensacola, and the
long stupor Of Fort Pickens is at an end
The big guns have become of use, and no
longer tie rebsl hag is allowed to hsunt
within range Of the iron trumpsters which
the soldiers at that fort have been 30 anxious
should have permission to speak for them
selves. All our reports thls far, are from
rebel sources, and we must take them with ali
due allowance for their truth. The result of
the fight is not given as yet but we may rest
c0utent:n n the belief which has been 90 often
expressed by the garrison at the fort, that
they were abundsntly able, not only to take
care Of themselves, but to destroy the enc
mys works. This attack, no doubt, is part
Of one general plan, of which the capture of
Port Royal, the holding of Hstterss, the ex-
petition to the Eastern Virginia counties, the
Tecoonoisancs from Fort Monroe, and the
Mississippi Floiills sre also parts-al work
ing harmOniously together. The ezPedi-
tionsry feet which has sailed from Boston
snd RoTtlsnd, and the other which is fitting
ont at Annapolis, are also destined to play
their parts in this tragedy, of which every
day deTsloPss some new scene. That it will
be tragedy inssWhich right shall triumph
over wrong, the Constitution over its assail-
ants, the hosts Of the Federal army over the
rebels, and the loyal North over the traitor
ous South, no one who has studied the events
Of the last three weeks can doubt. We have
waited long, and suffered both in temper and
pocket, but our reward is at hand.

Awfsl NeEspaper Threat.

The Chicago Journal is out of patience
with the Chicago Tribune, and threatens to
do something ''that will wither it like a
stroke of lightning" The Journal has an
article in which it recounts the offences of
the Tribune, and concludes as follows
"But there is point where endurance
ceases to be a virtue, and that point has been
reached by us, in reference to the Tribune s
seuFility. 1t must now spike its guns, or we
will spike them for it. This quarrel has
been going on long enough, and it must now
be stopped.
"Unless onr neighboE ceases his insolence
and lying in reference 10 this paper, we now
warn it that we shall ask a one days indul-
gencs of our advertisers, and fill couple of
our pages with documents that will exhibit
the obnoxiousness of that sheet in light
that l0iU sUither IL like stroke Of lightning.
ave shall do this reluctantly, and only if
driven to it, and shall not as our neighbor has
done, manufacture letters for the purpose,
but give true dates and well known names.
This shall be the finale of our part of this
controversy.

Discontinued

The publication of the Erie True American
has been discontinued. We regret that
friend Catlin was compelled to do this, but
these are trying times for newspapers, and
especially weekly ones. The editor closes
his valedictory as follows:
To our patrons all We ssy-Peace be null
tiplied unto you. But peace is the offspring
Of purity. Our country 10 whelmed in war.
It is a war Of principles war between two
great sntagonisms-essentially war of pu-
ri6cation. The one sole business of the peo-
pie should be to prosecute the war to its legi-
mate end. Thrust deep, strike quickly and
spare not. As God lives, the right will iri-
umph. Victory shall bring freedom-free-
dom, Peace-peaoe, prosperity-and prosper
ity, happiness.

The AlisslssippI Expedition.
rEra~, Hh. Dhsnaoo To,r,.-.,T

Without pretending to any definite knowl-
edge as TO the future plans of the campaign
in the West and Southwest, but Judging
from the facts and indications, we think we
can safely state that very extensive expe-
dition is now preparing TO sweep down the
Mississippi River.
This is the object OF recalling the t-oops of
Gen. FremoHts late army to st. Louis, and
this is the object Of the gunboets that are
building and nearly ready at s.. Louis and
Mound City, and of the heavy gins ana am
munition that have already reached and are
continually arriving at st. Locis and Cairo.
This also is the object of hurrying oar iii.
nois, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota regi.
ments to Louisville and st. Lo1is, and of the
arrival at Cairo Of the five hundred marines
from the Potomac, for the new gunboats-
men who have been practicing a. guns ior
the past three months.
These facts and indications, Is our readers
can Judge, must be designed for en- import
ant river expedition that will sooa be made
We may expect it soon, for the reason that
winter is ct hand, when the river will be
frozen over, and the expedition must start
before the ice obstruction se.s II

The sIrua1Ien in Kennedy.

The Nolin correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette, under date of Nov. 18th, writes
thus The new department created for Gen
/ Buell. excludes the small portion Of kentucky
west of the Tennessee river. Leaving out
of view, therefore, the posture Of affairs al
Paducah, Columbus, and Hickman, the stu
alton in Kentucky is briefly this; But one
rebel army in the State. Breckirri3ge's raw
recruits at Prestonville and PikeYille have
been scattered. Zollieoffer has been driven
hack to the Cumberland Gap, and is report
ed to be trembling for his safety eTen there.
The only rebel force remaining in his de-
partment to engage Gen. BuelFs attention, is
Buckner's army at Bowling Gresn-sn array
which Is FaTiOusly estimated stfrcm sightt en-
to thirty Eve thousand, and which is doubt
less much nearer to the smaller Of these
figures
Buekner's original plan is known to have
been to move directly up the -ailroad to
Louisville. That has probably been a5an-
ioned, and it has lattsrly been suspected that
be desires to move across togsrd Lexington
Meantime we have four distinct columns OF
National troops In Gen. Buell's department;
those Of Gen. Nelson, somewhere on the Big
Sandy; Gen. Thomas, at Camp Dick Robin
son and beyond; Gen. McCook at Eolin, and
Gen. Orittenden in the lower Green river
valley.
There msy, OF course, be little skirnishes
almost anywhere through the State, where
Secessionists and Union men become warm
enough to prove their faith by theiz works;
but there is no possibility of any important
collision in Kentucky, excepting IA the Bow
ling Green line. When that collision shall
come, would seem, thus far, to -sst with our
Generals to determine.
Such is the condition in which Gen. Buell.
finds matters in Kentucky. Ee has plenty
Of troops to sweep down the railroad to
Nashville; or plenty to seize ths Cumberland
Gap, and break the connection on the East
Tennessee and Lynchburg Railroad; or he
may, perhaps, have plenty for simultaneous
movements to attain both these desirable
ends. Assuredly, he has not enough to keep
one column opposite the Bowling Green
force, another in extreme Eastern Kentucky,
another lying miscellaneously around the
country toward Cumberland Gan, another on
the lower Green River Valley, OF two OF
three more at points where tbs -sbsls may
find it convenient to create diversions. In
other words, the play is up in Kentucky; the
game is all in onr own hands, # our new
General will only concentrate and ect.

Gently caused series of sham battles to be
executed by his command, and which have
not proven very profitable to all concerned,
especially one poor fellow who was so unfor-
tunate as to have his head shot of, while
others were severely wounded, and several
horses killed. The boys thought there was
no need of calling that 'ishsm" battle, but
think it assumed the proportions of good

would be two months hence. But the figures
Of the New York Custom House show that
the exports Of last week were, in declared
value, the largest ever made from that port,
being nearly four millions. At the same

It is strange what great amount of kill

off the sides of their heads, 50 that the brain
could be seen, and were yet alive. One
fellow was hit in the eye, the bail passing
out at the back of the head, and yet he was
alive. One had an 8Xl0 hole cut in the top

Richmond have been selected to be sent
to points further South. The rebels are
afraid that those left at Richmond will be
liberated by the "ahOlitiOn army" But if
the capture Of Port Royal is followed up, as
it will probably be, the southern points
may be as near the door of deliyerance, as
