CHRIsTMAs.-To-day is Christmas
the worlds best and sweetest holiday.
To-day every heart has the sweet right
to be joyous in its dearest way-when
every house is alive with tenderness,
and the sweet gladness that then, more
than at any other time, make "no place
like home." To-day the !" Christmas
tree" rises out of the snow, lighted
and filed with all the fairy dreams and
loving beliefs of childhood. And how
the little ones in every home have
waited and watched for the coming of
this morn; how they have counted
the days and hours before the day
should arrive that was TO usher in old
Santa Claus, with his sleigh load of
candies and toys. All, how their young
hearts viii beat to glad music on this
holy morning. Not in vain are the
gifts placed in the hands of child
The homeliest one is diamonds set
ting if it only serves to make the child
remember through all the year, the
birthday of Him, who said, 4" Suffer
little Children to come unto me, and
forbid them not"

THIS wel-known and popular Journal is note
Il for avowing its sentiments with candOr, fear

rather than Popular and takes the responsibility
of telling the Truth, regardless of the offence that
NAV be given to Prejudice and Ignorance.
The principles and objects which the CHICAGO

THE CAUSE OF FaEEDoM
JUSTICE AND HUMANITY,
PERPETUITY OF THE UNION
OBEDIENCE TO THE CONSTITUTION
AND SUPREMACY OF THE LAWS.
A DENIAL OF THE RIGHT OF A
REBEL TO HOLD ANY LOYAL

AFFIRMANcE THAT REBELS HAVE
No RIGHTS UNDER
CONSTITUTION, UNTIL
THEY FIRST OBEY IT.
And the prosecution of the war against Treason
until the authority of the Government is restored
over the whole Union There must be no falter-
ing-no steps backwards Failure now will entail
dlshonor and misery, rendering insecure life and
property, and leaving the country prey to anar-
chy rapine and boodshed. We have strong faith
that the year 1863 will witness the termination of
the Rebel Confederacy, and that New-Years sun
OF "a will rise over monstrous rebellion PROSTATE
in death, over a Union reunited and saved over a
Continent without a slave.

SoLD.-On our march from Madison
vile to Henderson some time ago, our
attention was attracted by GINNING
chap of the 60, who, from the fact that
he was very hungry, made an elfectual
charge upon flock of geese-capturing
an old gander. As he was in the act Of
cutting its head off, the Colonel spied him,
and told him very emphatically, to " let
that goose loose" He did not appear to
respect the Coloners demand just then,
but continued to saw ON the old gander's
neck with rusty knife blade, (the poor
old gander pouring forth some most
merciful and hideaNs cries. whereupon,
the Colonel rode up to him and asked
him why he did not let the goose loose.
'Why," said he, Colonel, its not a
goose, it's gander"
Wonder if Colonel wouldn't treat if
some feller" would "kinda remind
him of the goose-chase. EllsteortRs
