Affairs at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-Little as has as yet
transpired in Congress, the negro has hanged
each day to show himself there, and the tenn
per Of the radical Republicans is such as evln-
ces a determination to consumate their schemes,
without delay, to hefullest extent possible the
present session, as the opportunity may not
again be had for that purpose. The most de-
termined pressure will be brought to bear upon
the moderate and more timid Of the party, to
bring them up to disregard Of the reactlonary
and conservative sentiment OF the country, as
tleyeloped bv the late elections. Already mas
q resolution been introduced in the Senate, to-
dav. approving the Presidents emancipation
proclamation freeing all slaves IN lnsurrectlon-
arv DISTRICTS and the carrying on the war on
such policy.
The long talked CT change in the command
Of tie military department Of which Maryland
Is = part, will now speedily take place: Gen
era] Schenck. of Ohio, succeeds General WOOL,
and will, it is understood, take command IN
Baltimore next week. This change is not e2-
nected materially TO alter the staous: OF things
n Baltimore or the course OF administration
there. The report Of the Secretary OF the
Treasury, it is expected, will go to Congress TO-
morrow at noon It is looked for with great
interest. Contrary to the extravaganza asser
tions made in some quarters, OF tie expected
revenue from the Internal Tax, going as high
as from two to two hundred and fifty mllhons
i is understood that Secretary Chase estimates
for only about one hundred and twenty millions
therefrom. 70 this must be added some 500
900, 900 expected from customs dutles.-B0n

of drafted men, which arrived here on We'd

our Letter Machine is the only Family Machine
yet offered to the public which has simplicity, ra-

While as general thing, the sewing machine people
are candid enough to acknowledge that our machines

are almost sure to assert, in the BREATH that
Singers Letter A. or Family Machines, are not as

The Republican papers are publishing an arti.
ole headed "Address Of the Republican Mem
bers Of Congress to the Loyal People of the
United States" II is signed BY B. F. WADE,
of Ohio, and seven other radicals Of the Senate,
and By ]. A. BINGHAM, J. M. AsALET, W. P.
CUTLER, II. @. BLAKE, A. g, RIDDLE, Of Ohio,
and twenty other radicals Of the House Of Rep
resentatives. ts .rs
There is little In the address worthy OF notice
save that 1t argues In favor Of the unlimited
power of Congress In carrying on the war, and
that this power should be exercised for giVing
freedom to. and Srming the negro slaves. Theee
radical Congressman say Of the negroes:
Shiver tho letters that bind them and they
will rise from the degradation Of slaves to the
dignity Of freemen and render faithful service
to your country. /,
The freedom of the negro is the burden Of
this address of the Republican Members oi
Cungress;" but not word 10 said in It in behalf
Of the preservation Of the Union. The word
"UnioD," % understood BY our fathers, is fast
going out Of use with the Republican Abolition
lists, and for good reason, as they are bent
upon the destruction of the thing itself

,,,vo the Privatos a Chance.

Ii Ia a remarkable circumstance that, since
tbis war commenced, brave and meritorious con.
duct on the pat OF our privates In our volunteer
armies has rarely or never been noticed In the
reports Of the general and line officers. Cred
it, have been quite literally awarded to ell
manner Of tffcers, from lieutenants up, but the
brave men who compose our rank and file are
ever heard of outside their own regiments.
This has not been the case In the regular Sci :
wee. Il has always been the practice 70 notice
officially the good conduct OF men who specia
lv dstin Ruish themselves. That the opposite
course is Wrong--ail wTong--is too obvious iCr
argument. Amongt the many omissions of Con.
eress, one was In not providing some order of
merit for the brave common soldiers, similar 10
the French Legion Of Honor; 1t would have
been a graceful recognition of the services of
tens OF thousands OF heroes, who must other
wise live unhonored and die unknown.
Another wrong is done our common soldiers.
Promotions from the ranks are much too rare.
Instead Of supplying officers for the new regi.
ments from those who have seen service In
the old ones, Ne are about 70 organize new
eorps of civilian oAicers--thus adding enor-
mousIy TO the expense Of our armies, and i'm
pairing their efficiency. Previous TO the war,
CONGRESS paesed an act authorizing commits
sions TO be given to meritorious non-oommis'
stoned officers In the regular army. Twenty
Ave Of these we're thus hOnored previous to the
war but since then not one Itis true provision
was made for promoting more Of the privstei
in the new regular regiments, but these have
not been flled up, nor will they DO.
This matter ought to attract more attention

Shelf uses In making al army hghs, but prom

The Afch Traitor OF the NOEsn'
Upouestionably the arch traitor of tho Union
is not ], ,fferson Davis, but Wendell Phillips
Davis is a criminal of lesser magnitude. A
speech of Phillips Is published in one Of his
New York radical organs (ihe Times), 10 which
he avoWs that he has been tgaitor and dis.
unionist for upwards Of thirty years. "To'day,"
says this demagogue, jefferson Davis is doing
less to break this Union by his armies at Rich.
mond than Lincoln by his Cabinet policy and
delay In the city of Washington THE 10
true of the traitor PHILIPPE himself, and not OF
Mr.. Lincoln. Had there been no Wendell Phil:
lips. no Garrison and no Greeley, there would
have been no Jefferson Davis at the head OF
rebelious confederacy. Secession is the spawn
Of abolition. From anti-slavery disunion the
Southern rebellion has derived its being and
all iis vitality. Had the abolition traitors
been crushedtin time there would beno necessity
for waging war against Southern insurrection
to-day.
Phillips gloats over the disasters to our army
because the atrocious policy Of Fremont and
Hunter was not adopted, aud because the ne
groes we're not armed to cut the throsts of all
Southern white women and children, after the
approved model OF the St. Domingo massacre
which he 10 accustomed to hold up for the i'd
mira,ior of mankind He confesses that 1t Is
not the restoration of the Union he desires tc
see, but the abolition OF slavery, and hence bis
aversion TO Mcclellan and his disparagment o
his services He says the reason why that
General has failed is that George Washington
aud the other seges and patriots who drew ~
she Constitution In 1887 tied up one of hi'
hands; whereas the frat use Fremont made Of
his sword was to cut the restraint Of the Con.
s,itu.ion. Here lisa plain avowal that Phil
lips and the radicals are lengued to oyefshroW
the Consttudon-an avoWsl that they wan
to inaugurale reign OF anarchy and blood, like
the desperadoes Of tho French Revolution.
II Jeff Davis and the other leaders In the
Southern rebellion merit the extreme penalty
Of the law, what less do such Northern traitors
as Robespierre Phillips, Lloyd Garrison anC
Horace Gfeeley deserve, who have been labor
ing with all their might to overthrow she Unior

The Aurora has the following notice Of Mr..
Jrwrrr's speech before the War Meeting at
Zanesville:
4 Hon. H. J. Jew EFT was then called for. Mr..
Jewets said be had been invited BY Gov Tod TO
address the people at several places 10 the
State, In favor Of vigorous effort to raise
three hundred thousand soldiers that have been
recently called for by the President. In obedi-
ence to that call he was there tonight Mr..
Jewett said In urging the hearty support Of the
Government, In this its hour Of trial, he did not
diyest himself of his party views. He claimed
to be party man, and to differ almost entirely
with the policy pursued by the party In power.
Party he claimed as the essential element OF
free institutions. Free press and free speech,
without which free government 10 mockery,
should have its legitimate expression through
the ballot,box.
Having discussed measures, and finally voted,
che result Of public experience must be abded
BY, until there shall be an opportunity OF recon
sidering the public will through the ballot box
AZ Democrats, we claim the privilege of free
discussion of all the measures Of the govern
| ment, and cheerfully submit to the will OF the
majority when fairly expressed, and as freely
take up arms to support those who may be elect
ed to Office, as IL they were our own choice
We are not, then, TO consider the cause OF the
war In which our country is involved-but must
answer the call Of our country, to fight her bat
ties against all assalants.

showing the necessity of more soldiers, and
urging enllstments and generous contribution
to encourage the same
